2.0 out of 5 stars subtitles
The English subtitles cannot be removed so you have to watch the entire movie with the English subtitles on. For someone like me who understands French this is very annoying. The fact that the subtitles cannot be removed is not stated in the Amazon Product Details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Noir to leave you "a bout de souffle",
Mr Robert Day (Coventry UK) - See all my reviews
"Rififi" has been long-awaited as a Region 2 DVD release, and the wait is well worth it. P>The plot is the classic "retired master criminal plans one last job" one; but "Rififi" has things going for it. there are the production values: the real locations, the luminous black-and-white photography (deliberately done on grey winter's days to get the atmosphere just right), . You will not notice the passage of time whilst you wait on the edge of your seat for this to go horribly wrong.
Secondly, there is the snapshot the film gives us of 1950s Paris - grimy cafes, cobbled streets, coffee so strong you could stand a spoon up in it and the only thing missing is the pungent whiff of Gauloises or Disque Bleu. In short, probably my DVD of the year!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jules Dassin's grandaddy of heist films, still the best, and in an excellent Criterion presentation,
C. O. DeRiemer (San Antonio, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Criterion Collection: Rififi [DVD] [1955] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Place tough guys into something like a Greek tragedy, put things under the control of a great director, and you may come up with a movie as excellent and nerve-wracking as Jules Dassin's Rififi. This is the grandaddy of all modern white-knuckle heist movies, with it's famous 32-minute silent break-in and safe-cracking. Few movies since have even come close to the original.
Tony le Stephanois (Jean Servais) is a middle-aged, weary, hard-boiled crook. He accepts a code that includes murder for squealers. He's just served five years in prison because he wouldn't squeal on Jo le Suedois (Carl Mohner). Suedois is almost like Tony's son. Jo is a big, tough, good looking guy. He's just as much a crook as Tony, but he's a family man, too, with a small son he's named Tonio. Tony is Tonio's godfather. Mario Feratti (Robert Manuel) is a happy, good-natured crook who is always on the lookout for a big score. Caesar le Milanais (Jules Dassin, using the name Perlo Vita) is an Italian safe cracker, something of a dandy with a weakness for lush women. The four of them pool their talents to break into Mappin et Webb, an exclusive jewelry store in the heart of Paris.
Think of the movie as a three-part journey that first takes us into Tony's and Jo's milieu, then leads us step by step through the break-in and robbery, and finally let's us see what happens because of one foolish mistake.
We get to know the four men, especially Tony and Jo. These guys are hard men. As we see them sort through whether or not they can actually do the robbery, we come to like them in a way. Especially with Tony, we recognize a weary man, stoic, broke, now looked down upon by others and two-timed while in prison by his girl with a rival who owns a nightclub. Tony is a man who doesn't hesitate to whip the woman with his belt, and yet can buy with his last francs a stuffed penguin to give to his godson. The four plan the break-in meticulously, timing everything from the night watchman on his rounds to the two cops on their early morning beat.
Then the four have forced their way into an apartment above the jewelry store. For the next 32 minutes not a word is spoken in the film. We watch these men work together, professionals good at their job, breaking through the floor of the apartment into the store below, canceling the alarm systems, step-by-step using a hand-powered machine tool to cut their way into a large safe, then making their way out. But one of them gives into temptation and sets up the murderous consequences.
When a rival, Pierre Grutter (Marcel Lupovici), puts two and two together to link Tony and the others to the heist, he moves in with ruthless efficiency. The last third of the movie suddenly is brutal and inevitable. The weakness of one person, the futile bravery of another, the kidnapping of young Tonio, the relentless determination by Tony to find the boy and deal out retribution leads to one nerve-wracking scene after another.
Rififi is a crime movie with real power behind it. Among the elements which make it work so well is Dassin's use of Paris. Almost all the outdoor scenes are shot in cloudy overcast or in rain. Streets are wet; trees have shed their leaves. He gives us real neighborhoods, not picture postcards. Jean Servais, especially in the last third of the film, epitomizes the brutality and despair of the situation. Servais at the time of the movie had not worked regularly for several years. He was an alcoholic and wasn't trusted to complete a major role. His eyes have heavy pouches. There are deep, tired lines around his mouth. I don't think he smiles once in the film.
And what does "rififi" mean? It's explained in a song sung in the nightclub. It's the old "rough and tumble" of the tough guys...rough sex, taking what you want and pay back.
The Criterion DVD transfer is immaculate. Black and white has never looked better. Dassin wanted the movie shot in shades of grey and Criterion has done his vision justice. There are two interesting extras. One is a series of written production notes. The other is a video interview with Dassin made in 2000 when he was 91. Both offer insights into Dassin's blacklisting by Hollywood and how Rififi came about. Dassin is well worth listening to. If you like great crime movies, or just great movies, you can hardly do better than Dassin's Brute Force made in 1947, Night and the City made in London in 1950 right after he was told not to return to Hollywood, and Rififi made five years later when he was dead broke and was unable to find work after Night and the City.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb film and a superb blu ray,
Me "'Oh behave!'" (Manchester) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rififi [Dual Format Edition DVD + Blu-Ray] [1955] (Blu-ray)
Until I bought Rififi on this Arrow BD I knew very little about it and it's purchase was a gamble. I now feel I have made a real discovery and have found a film I will get great pleasure from for many years to come. As a film it's perfect. Performances in this film noir crime drama are superb. It's a cracking heist movie (the robbery itself is, with the exception of sound effects, silent for 20 minutes and makes it really gripping). The black and white photography (why does the b&w image look so stunning on Blu ray? It's not the first time I've been really impressed by old films on this format)is stunning and atmospheric. For me any film set in Paris is special, it's like the city is as much a star as the actors. What more can I say, but if you enjoy classic films then you really should see this fine French film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Thriller, Great Level of Detail,
Stephanie De Pue (Wilmington, NC USA) - See all my reviews
"Rififi," (Du rififi chez les homes), (1955) is a riveting thriller, the granddaddy of all heist/caper movies, and another triumph of French cinema. But the black and white crime drama, French language film was scripted and helmed by an American, Jules Dassin, rather than a Frenchman, and thereby, of course, hangs the tale. For Dassin, a victim of America's 1950s McCarthyism and the Hollywood Blacklist that McCarthyism spawned, went on to win Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival for this cerebral noir caper, and, eventually, to be able to return as a welcome hero to Hollywood.
In a brisk, no second wasted, exciting 118 minutes, we follow Tony le Stephanois (Jean Servais) as, after his recent release from five years in prison, he plans one last perfect heist: to hit the internationally famous then and now jewelry store Mappin & Webb. To do so, he gathers criminals Jo le Swedois (the Swede-- Carl Möhner), Mario Ferrati (Robert Manuel) and Cesar le Milanese - (the Milanese, Jules Dassin himself, who grew a moustache and took a screen name to play the part: contract difficulties had cost the director the actor originally expected to play it). Tony finds his former lover Mado les Grands Bras (Marie Sabouret) who has become the lover of the gangster Pierre Grutter (Marcel Lupovici), owner of the night club L'Age D'Or, where she works. Unfortunately, human error does them in in this dark, understated tale: Cesar foolishly gives a priceless ring from the loot to another girl Viviane (Magali Noel, a great French/Italian favorite at the time) who works at Mado's club. The three Grutter brothers quickly figure out the story and demand some of the loot. Tony refuses. The competing gangsters retaliate by kidnapping Jo's five-year old son.
Somehow, Dassin put all this together on a miserly budget, even then, of $200,000. To do so, he had to skimp on his cast. Servais, once a big French star, had not worked for several years because of his severe alcoholism; luckily, the toll his alcoholism had taken on his face could easily be seen as the toll of five years of prison life. Several of the other actors, and of the behind-the camera personnel, had also not worked for several years for various reasons; some of them were green beginners. (Of course, Dassin himself had not worked for a while, due to the Blacklist.) Dassin filmed on the actual streets of Paris -- he couldn't afford back lot sets, and he and his camera traveled all over that beautiful city. He did, however, have to build a false café in the middle of the road, so that Stephanois and his gang could sit "across the street" from Mappin and Webb to plan the job. (M. Webb apparently did really live over his store at that time; he agreed to let them make the film there, although Dassin says he thought the shop owner never would. But there's nothing so priceless as free worldwide publicity.) The director insisted on filming only on damp, overcast days, to establish his mood; that nearly drove his centime-counting producer crazy, Dassin says. The streets, the vehicles, the clothes and the interiors, are all, of course, perfect for the era, and I loved the pinstriped suits and hats the gangsters all wore: well, of course, that was "de rigueur" for gangster pictures at the time.
The movie is most famous, of course, for its extraordinary, silent 30-minute burglary scene, now many times imitated but still the greatest. Dassin explained it by saying the burglars were professionals: they didn't need to talk. This silent scene is 1/3 the film's running time. There isn't even music: Georges Auric, the greatly talented French composer who did the score thought perhaps there should be, and wrote the music. But after Dassin showed him the picture with and without, Auric agreed with the director that the scene should be silent. This scene, to me, graphically showed how physically difficult the burglary was: the men carried suitcases of tools in and worked at the burglary for several very sweaty hours. On the other hand, you also could say the scene was a primer in how to burglarize a store, and, according to the director, the film's scene was imitated in actual burglaries several times - so much so, that Mexico insisted the picture be withdrawn there after playing for eleven weeks. Look closely at the men's footwear during this crucial scene. Several of the men are wearing sneakers, surely footwear they never would have been seen in on the street, and Cesar is actually wearing ballet shoes.
The level of detail throughout the picture is remarkable: at the beginning, we see Jo the Swede get up from a couch where he's been playing with his son. Jo's leg has fallen asleep, and he briefly limps. Many of the son's toys are shown in all their cuteness. Viviane was given a specially-written song at the night club - then anyway, a scene also "de rigueur" in gangster films--so that she could tell the audience what "rififi," a word from Parisian argot--slang--meant. Rough and tumble, apparently: roughhousing, rough trade. No character in the movie ever utters the word. The movie was ostensibly based on a novel of the same name, written in deepest Parisian argot, so that few people--not Dassin either--could understand it. But Dassin hardly used the novel, which he characterized as nasty - including necrophiliac scenes; and racist, with the villains Arab North Africans (the director changed them to French, with Germanic names).
The ending of the film is as memorable as they come. I've always wondered whether the child's obstreperous behavior there, as he wears a cowboy costume and shoots his fake six-shooter, was intended by Dassin as a comment on recent American behavior. The director had not worked for five years in Hollywood, due to his blacklisting, and hostile forces, including Clare Booth Luce, then the ambassador to Italy, well-known playwright, and wife of Henry Luce of Time magazine, took away a proposed Italian movie from him. The great French communist director Jacques Becker is said to have helped Dassin to get RIFIFI. Becker was soon to make his own gangland masterpiece Touchez Pas Au Grisbi [1956] [DVD], which resembles Dassin's film in several ways; not least that Becker was able to afford that great French star Jean Gabin, because his career had been in decline for several years. On his return to Hollywood, Dassin made the popular, full-color caper film Topkapi [DVD]. Believe me; it doesn't hold a candle to RIFIFI. And this is one film that should never be remade.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lost World,
Mr. K. A. Lindley - See all my reviews
Although "Rififi" is famous for its 30 minute sequence without any dialogue, it is much more than that. We are taken back to a world that has long gone; the world of the post-war parisian gangster. A film which was criticised for its use of "argot" the almost impenetrable slang of the Paris underworld. Looking behind the action one is able to discern the city of Paris as it was within 10 years of the end of the Second World War. We see cars that have long gone but which evoke the period with such clarity; the white Citroen Traction Avant that is used for the heist is part of my personal memories of this era. Although the film is very well subtitled a French-speaking viewer will find so much more in the dialogue.
Many films are acclaimed as masterpieces, but this is truly worthy of the title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A 5 star movie returns on a 3 star DVD,
American director Jules Dassin's classic French-made heist-thriller "Rififi" (1955) has, at long last, arrived on DVD in the UK. The film itself needs little introduction. No written review could fully do justice to its brilliance! So, how does "Rififi" hold up on DVD? Well, the picture quality is disappointing, but only because it has so many good things going for it: The black and white images (described as being "fully restored" on the back cover) are razor sharp, with solid blacks and excellent greyscale. On the other hand, the picture is let down by being somewhat unstable (for example, "jumps" occurring everytime the film "cuts") and containing more than its fair share of print damage (including specks, scratches and "cigarette burns", all of which can easily be removed using modern digital restoration technology). Normally, given the age of the film, we could forgive the DVD these faults (The film is certainly much more than just watchable) but in the light of Paramount's near flawless restoration of "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), viewers have come to expect more from vintage material. The audio is French Dolby Digital mono and receives no complaints from me. "Rififi" is hardly the type of film which could benefit from a 5.1 or DTS remix (Indeed, the film's centrepiece is played out in complete silence). English subtitles are included (Although the fact that they cannot be removed may aggravate some). In addition to the restored feature, the disc also includes some 67 minutes of bonus material: A theatrical trailer (made using a badly dubbed English language print of the film), an interview and Q and A session (conducted at London's National Film Theatre in 1983) with director Jules Dassin, and a photo gallary. The interview and Q and A session do tend to drag after a while, with information and anecdotes overlapping on several occasions. Still, we should be thankful that they were included at all in an age where far too many DVDs list "Interactive menus" and "Scene access" as "Special Features". All in all a very nice little (emphasis on little) package. Since a 2 disc Special Edition of the film (comparable, say, to Warners "Singin' in the Rain" release) is almost entirely out of the question owing to the nature of the film, I would strongly recommend UK residents pick up a copy of this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Stands for Excellent Noir,
Sam Tyler "samueltyler" (Reading, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
If I could travel back in time 15 years and tell a younger version of myself that I would love watching a French 1950s film noir I would not only cause a rip in the space/time continuum, but I would also have probably laughed at the fat bald man who claimed to be me. However, this is the case as `Rififi' deserves it place as a noir classic in every way. Tony is a con just out of jail and rather than turning to a path of righteousness, he decides to take on one last big score so that he can retire a rich man. With the aid of some friends he plans an audacious bid to rob a jeweller by digging through the floor of the flat above. Can Tony's plan work, or will his rich pickings make him a mark for both the police and every other criminal in town?
`Rififi' is an incredibly rich crime noir and was to blame for some great film clichés; of course they were not clichés on the films release. The centrepiece of the film is a masterful scene were the gang break into a jewellers as quietly as possible. Director Jules Dassin, working in France after being marked a Communist, plays the scene straight with no music - just 4 professional criminals doing a job. The way the film plots the organisation, undertaking and fallout of the heist is as fresh today as it was 60 years ago, and the imagery and ideas have been reused countless times since.
The film is in French, so subtitles are on offer. Personally, I found that this added to the noir aspects of the film. The very concept of Rififi is explained in a song during the film; bizarre, but in perfect keeping with the feel of the film. Tony is not a nice man, but he is a perfect antihero for the film, he is bad, but others are worst. The film climaxes in some great action sequences as matters unravel. A masterpiece of noir cinema, so good that criminals reportedly used the techniques from the film in there own work - if that is not a good review, I don't know what is!

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I saw riffifi when it first came out and thoroughly enjoyed it. As I got older my tastes in most things has changed and so it was with rififi. I found I was seeing things that I had missed first time around and this added more pleasure in watching it again ( and again and again ). Younger viewers will see how good the old films are compared to a lot of todays rubbish.

Speedygee (UK) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
There have been a few films made, throughout movie history, which not only stand the test of time, but have become classics in their genre. Rififi is one such film. Think of Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Citizen Kane, even the Wizard of Oz. Rififi stands comparison with any of them. Truly superb!

The present paper proposes a switching control scheme for a plant with multiple sensor–estimator/control–actuator pairs. The scheme is shown to handle the specific stability problems originated by the switching between the different feedback loops and accommodate to faults in the measurement (sensors) channels. The main contribution is a fault tolerant switching scheme with stability guarantees assured by a pre-imposed dwell time. The detection and the fault tolerance capabilities are achieved through the separation of sets associated with suitable residual signals corresponding to healthy and faulty functioning. Another contribution of the paper resides in a recovery technique for the post-fault reintegration of the biased estimations. This technique makes use of a virtual sensor whose associated estimation, based on an optimization procedure, minimizes the recovery time. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Book Description:
From the author of Common Ground -- one of the most acclaimed books of recent years -- comes a grand narrative of the United States as it charged, full of hope and trepidation, into the twentieth century. J. Anthony Lukas, a masterful storyteller, tells a mesmerizing tale -- of a terrible murder, a great trial, and the struggle they set off for the soul of America. Big Trouble begins on a snowy evening at Christmas time 1905 in the little town of Caldwell, Idaho, to which the state's former governor, Frank Steunenberg, had returned to head his family bank while contemplating his political future. As he walked home that night, he sensed all about him the bold, exuberant, unashamedly acquisitive spirit of Caldwell's young entrepreneurs, who -- as his brother had written -- were "here for the money." Like so many in the West at that time, these brothers believed their prospects for enriching themselves were limitless, that the future opened wide before them. ANd yet the governor suffered premonitions that he and his neighbors weren't fully in control of their own destiny, that something malign threatened their well-being. Now, as he followed the plume of his frozen breath, his boots crunching eight inches of freshly frozen snow, he turned through his garden gate and a bomb attached to the gatepost blew him "into eternity."

text: Clipped from: sports.yahoo.com (share this clip) A few big-name wide receivers are scheduled to be free agents this offseason, including Wes Welker, DeSean Jackson, and Reggie Wayne. And because of that, another fella will likely be hitting the market when the free-agent window opens on March 13: San Diego Chargers vet Vincent Jackson. From sports.yahoo.com (share this quote) Clipped from: www.utsandiego.com (share this clip) Even after Eric Weddle had seven interceptions, made the Pro Bowl and was named All-Pro, there was an acknowledgment by the Chargers decision makers that they overpaid to some extent to re-sign the safety last summer. From www.utsandiego.com (share this quote) Clipped from: www.ninersnation.com (share this clip) The rumor mill is reporting via Jason LaCanfora that the San Diego Chargers will not franchise tag wide receiver Vincent Jackson, and he will likely test the market. LaCanfora went on further to confirm the St. Louis Rams and San Francisco 49ers as the strongest candidates out of all the potential suitors out there. From where I'm sitting, it seems like this is just the man the 49ers are looking for and I'll tell you why. From www.ninersnation.com (share this quote)

AUSMIN Bilateral Cooperation Deal Includes Move of Powerful Radar, Space Telescope to Australia
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Vittorio Hernandez | November 15, 2012 10:22 AM EST
As Australia and the United States refocus their priorities toward Asia, Washington will move a powerful radar to Australia from Antigua and a space telescope under a bilateral space deal between the two nations.
Australian Defence Minister Stephen Smith, in a Wednesday news conference to mark the Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations (AUSMIN) in Perth, said the transfer of the U.S. Air Force C-band radar would allow the U.S. to improve tracking of space debris in the southern hemisphere and space launches by China.
Also being moved to Australia is a new space surveillance telescope that tracks small objects at deep space altitudes at 35,000 kilometres high. The Defence Advanced Research Project Agency, the high tech research arm of Pentagon, built the new telescope as part of the Defence Department's increasing its focus on space as a new potential battlefield where Beijing has achieved significant progress.
Mr Smith said the two devices will be stationed at the Harold E. Holt communications base in Western Australia. It will be operated by Australians who will receive training from the U.S. military. He estimated the cost to get the radar operational at $30 million and another $8 million to $10 million to maintain the radar.
Despite this development, the two nations assured China through a communiqué released at the close of the yearly AUSMIN that Beijing has no reason to be concerned over the expansion of American use of defence bases in Darwin.
Another 200 American Marines are scheduled to train in Australia in 2013, which would increase to 1,100 in 2014 and 2,500 in 2016.
"There is no language of containment in this, but we both welcome China's role as a responsible member of the international community," News.com.au quoted Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr.
U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton added the Pacific is large enough for all.
"By the same token we both recognise that increased cooperation with China is mutually beneficial. So this is not a zero-sum competition . . . Rather it is up to the U.S. and Australia to lead the way in demonstrating that the strong relationship between us can also help foster strong, healthy relations with China because the entire region will benefit from a peaceful rise of China," Ms Clinton said.
Meanwhile, reports said that protesters have gathered outside the AUSMIN meeting to pressure the U.S. to ensure the protection of human rights in the Arms Trade Treaty. The groups who lied down on a carpet of red fabric with tombstones as background include Amnesty International Oxfam, Act for Peace, ActionAid and the Medical Association for Prevention of War.
Organisers of the protest said the tombstone represents the lives lost yearly on account of arms trade.

Land Rover is celebrating its 65th anniversary with a special event that will also include the launch of a special-edition Defender LXV (65 in Roman numerals). Is not a surprise that Land Rover has chosen to base this special edition on a Defender model, especially when you consider it i the best sold model on the company's lineup with over two million units sold since its official launch.
The new Defender LXV can be ordered in either Santorini Black or Fuji White. Both colors will get contrasting Corris Grey roof, grille and headlight surrounds, plus a set of 16-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels.
For the interior, Land Rover has opted for a unique orange contrast stitching on the seats, steering wheel and center cubby compartment. There are also "LXV" logos embossed on the front headrests. As an option, customers can also get a union flag decal placed on the rear of the vehicle.
The new Defender LXV will be put on sale in August.

Webber: RBR slump not Renault's fault
|By Stuart Codling and Matt Beer
|Sunday, September 13th 2009, 09:08 GMT
Mark Webber has denied that Red Bull's Renault engines are to blame for the team's lack of pace so far in the Italian Grand Prix weekend.
Both Webber and team-mate Sebastian Vettel minimised their practice mileage to conserve engine life after failures in recent events, while the Mercedes engines used by their title rivals at Brawn took six of the top seven places on the grid.
But Webber defended Renault's performance.
"There are different wing levels going on, so it's always hard to read what the power levels are like," he insisted.
"We've seen a good performance from Mercedes this weekend but I think Renault have done a good job for us so far. I'm in good shape for engines - okay, so Sebastian has fewer, and we've both lost mileage with engines here and there, but Renault are pushing as hard as they can."
The Australian said that Red Bull's recent slump in form after dominant back to back wins in Britain and Germany was due to other teams improving rather than his outfit or its engine supplier losing ground.
"Don't forget that we're second in the constructors' championship and we've had a good year it's just that other teams have arrived," said Webber.
"The Brawn and Red Bull thing is over; we have many teams coming back now."

Power Breakfasts: Cottage Cheese Pancakes
My son loves pancakes, especially if I use his favourite shape cutters to make police car-pancakes or mammoth-shaped pancakes. I'm sure he would be just as pleased as pie if I just cooked him his breakfast using an instant mix. But as mothers do, I'm always thinking of ways to feed my children food that is tastier and more nutritious. Packed with protein and calcium, these power pancakes give the little ones extra muscle-building oomph for a great start to the day! I think they are best eaten with fruit preserves, which complement the tang of the cottage cheese very well. Continue Reading →

So, Memorial Day weekend has just ended and it's time to get back to work. But don't worry - you'll have some great new TV shows to look forward to! As most of us know, American Idol just ended and we've crowned Caleb Johnson to be the winner. In case you're having withdrawals from reality judging shows, you'll soon be overloaded with all the season premieres taking place this week.
Starting out, we have MasterChef. This show challenges at-home chefs to put their skills to test, as three judges see if they've got what it takes to become a culinary master. And these aren't your average judges. These are some of the biggest names in the food industry - like Chef Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Chef Graham Elliot. These three guys are tough and the new challengers definitely have their worked cut out for them if they want to survive. FOX fans should definitely check this show out. These "average Joes", who claim to be chefs, cook and plot against one another to give themselves the upper-hand. There are a lot of twist and turns – my favorite is when the three judges taste the chefs food creations and give them their opinions. In some cases, the judges can be quite nice, but usually and most frequently, they are spitting out and throwing the food away with utter disgust. What a waste of perfectly good food! Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for "MasterChef" tonight at 8pm.
If cooking isn't your thing and you like to get "turnt up"( which means to get wild and crazy) with some dancing, "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" will be premiering this Wednesday at 8pm. This season's premiere is two hours long, so make sure you stretch so you don't pull anything from all the excitement! If you haven't seen the show, this is how it works - judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, along with some guest judges, go around America in search for the best dancers in the nation. This show will definitely get you up-and-out of your seat trying some of the killer dance moves!
From the cooking to dancing show premieres, I'm sure you'll be on the edge of your seat and exhausted when it's all said and done. Make sure to tune into MasterChef to see the judges lay the smack down on some amateur chefs! Then, rest up for Wednesday, because you'll be movin' and groovin' with SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE at 8pm!

7 Essentials for the Digital Nomad
All they need is a laptop and a mobile phone and they are set to work from anywhere. Digital nomads work while they travel and live a life that sure seems attractive and fun. Writers, photographers, marketers, designers, web developers and many other similar occupations are great for those who want to take up a nomadic life without the constraints of working in a cubical office space. Technology, such as a smartphone and Wi-Fi, facilitates them to earn while they travel.
As a digital nomad, you will spend a lot of time away from home. Hence, you'd need to take care of a few logistics and other aspects before you leave for your work cum leisure travel.
1. Setting up your mail service
With everything and everyone going online, it's really simple to do this. Register for every bill or email to be delivered to you on your email address, so that it reaches you irrespective of your location. However, for those that need to be delivered in an envelope, one would need to figure out an address to ensure the message reaches on time.
2. Communication tools
This one is important for both the places – the one you are leaving and your next destination. With Skype, email and other messengers, it is not as difficult. Getting a local number of the place you are staying ensures connectivity at times when the Internet may not seem to work.
3. Equipment
Your laptop, hard drive, camera, Kindle and iPod – these pretty much complete the list unless you want to carry something else along. It's important to ensure that all updates and antivirus protection is updated on your laptop and it gives you a hassle-free and smooth experience. The hard disk is important to take back up of your data. A light and easy-to-carry hard drive will prove ideal. Camera is another must-have as it doubles up as a scanner. You'd not need to bother about carrying receipts and other small titbits. Just take a picture and keep it with you. Kindle helps carry all your important travel guides, language translators and books in an electronic format without having to bother about the weight and space that hard copies take.
4. Accommodation and Travel
Here again there are two aspects. The first would be your home, which you can decide to sublet for the duration you are away. For the destination you are off to, a thorough research may be necessary to find out the lodging options in the place. If it's a short stay and one has a friend in the place, then that can be an option. However, for a longer duration, taking an apartment for rent is advisable. Of course, better information and options about these are available through local resources of the town you stay at. Another important aspect is travel, It's always prudent to get an economical airline ticket for your journey.
5. Banking, Cash and Credit Cards
Set up Internet banking before you embark on your travel. This will help manage your accounts and finance from wherever you are. Though there are ATMs available everywhere now, yet higher banking fees at certain places makes it important to have cards that reimburse those fees. Moreover, it is a good idea to carry cash for things that credit and debit cards will not cover.
6. Good Luggage and Backpacks
The best of the lot are carry-on size backpacks as they are easy to carry. They are faster to get scrutinised at security checks and are safer as you can keep them with you everywhere. Additionally, there'd be no need for a laptop bag as that can be carried in the same backpack. Storage pockets, pouches, zippered sections and ergonomically designed shoulder straps are a must.
7. Websites and Software
Your occupation may require special software on your laptop, so make sure you have those in place. Moreover, register for services like Paypal to get your payments with no worries.
To sum up, it's not difficult to organise the logistics on having a precise and sorted to-do list with you. Packing and unpacking may sound tedious, the sheer joy of working at exotic places compensates for it.

Having a hard drive back up is important, but is still prone to theft while traveling. While internet connections can be dodgy in certain parts of the world, it may be helpful to have cloud storage to back up files on services like Mozy, SugarSync, Dropbox, or Carbonite.
I agree, and thank you for the advice. Also most of the cloud storage companies are free and they have a big enough space allowance.

How do you financially sustain your love of travel? I understand saving, investing, and working the domestic 9-5 job all just to a have a week vacation. Are there occupations that endorse a traveler's lifestyle? what are some of the descisions you've made to better transition from the sedentary to living abroad? I am dedicated to finding a way to break into the traveling lifestyle, but my biggest fear is being stranded with no resources. Do you suggest any websites or reading that could help?
Thank you,
Hello Ashley,
many people have asked me the exact same question but the answer has not always been the same: a traveling lifestyle is not for everybody, that's guaranteed. It depends of what you are looking for in your life: if you are happy with teaching english abroad for example, you can travel forever because you will always find a job, but you won't have a carrerr and not much money. If you want to travel in style, it is more complicated as there aren't much jobs out there who can make you money while on the road. Maybe you should start with a career break and see if traveling the world for long periods (or forever) is for you. Check this site out http://careerbreaksecrets.com
Let me know what you think
Thank you

Henry de Groux
Henry de Groux (1866, Brussels – 1930, Marseilles) was a Belgian Symbolist painter, sculptor and lithographer. His 1889 painting Christ aux Outrages, widely described as his masterwork, depicted Jesus being attacked by a mob. Later in life, he produced many works depicting the horrors of the First World War.
De Groux was the son of the engraver Charles de Groux and, like his father, trained at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts. Henry was elected a member of les XX in 1886, but was expelled in 1890 when he refused to have his works displayed in the same gallery as Vincent van Gogh. He subsequently moved to Paris, where he befriended Émile Zola; during the social unrest resulting from the Dreyfus affair, de Groux acted as one of Zola's bodyguards.
As well, de Groux was a fervent diarist; beginning in 1892, he produced 18 volumes detailing the life of a European artist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 2002, his descendants donated these volumes to the Institut national d'histoire de l'art; selected excerpts were published in 2007. Henry de Groux 1866-1930 - journal - Henry De Groux, Rodolphe Rapetti, Pierre Wat - Editions Kimé at www.dessinoriginal.com.[1] Apollinaire writes of De Groux's exhibition in Paris at the Salon d'Automne 1911, praising with "...gives one the impression of an immense labor and a sensibility of the highest order..."
Chumbawamba's download-only song "Pass It Along (MP3 Mix)" is jokingly tagged as being from the nonexistent album, "The Paintings of Henry de Groux".

You must purchase two cleaners plus the laundry detergent to receive the $5.00 gift card.

10.69 each? Wow that is Krazy!! (; (;
You're right: it's not a krazy price, but it is a good deal on this particular brand.

Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 28 Days
Carlos Delfino (foot) will not play at FIBA this summer.
He was at Las Vegas Summer League and it appeared that he didn't have anything wrong with him while walking, but there's obviously a big difference from walking and playing ball. Delfino should be ready to start the season after missing all of 2013-14.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 1 Month
Carlos Delfino (foot) is in Las Vegas for summer league.
He was checking out some action sitting next to Amir Johnson, and there was nothing supporting his foot. There have been very little updates on his status, but he expects to play for Argentina in FIBA later this summer. Delfino is likely just hanging out with the Bucks and perhaps going through some team drills.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 2 Months
Carlos Delfino (foot) announced on Monday that he intends to play for Argentina in this year's FIBA World Cup, pending a medical release from the Bucks.
Delfino is still recovering from a broken foot that sidelined him for the entire 2013-14 season, but it appears he'd like to give it a go. Delfino also added that he plans to participate with the Bucks at the Las Vegas Summer League, however it's unclear whether he intends to actually play in those games, or if he'll just be participating in some side workouts with some of the Bucks veteran guys.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 4 Months
Carlos Delfino hopes to play for Argentina in the World Cup this summer, but his availability is uncertain due to foot surgery he had in December.
"Maybe Milwaukee will see it as beneficial for me to get up to speed and so I can arrive at the start of training camp with a little basketball," Delfino said. "Hopefully the new [Bucks] owners see it the same way." There have been no reports of Delfino advancing to on-court work during his rehab, so we're considering him somewhat doubtful to play for his native country this summer.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 5 Months
Carlos Delfino will return to Milwaukee to continue his rehab on his foot injury.
It was reported earlier this week he would stay in Argentina, but he'll use the team facilities with head athletic trainer Scott Barthlama. Delfino is out for the season and has not played a single minute with the Bucks this go 'round.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 5 Months
Carlos Delfino (foot) will continue rehabbing in Argentina and will not join the Bucks this season.
He was ruled out for the season back in January and he just won't be joining the team. Delfino should be ready to go for next season as an unrestricted free agent.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 7 Months
Carlos Delfino (foot surgery) has officially been ruled out for the 2013-14 season after the NBA granted the Bucks a Disabled Player Exception.
Milwaukee gets a $1.75 million exception which can be used for salary-cap relief in trades or free agent signings to acquire a replacement player. Delfino is expected to rejoin the Bucks in late February as he continues his rehabilitation, and he should be ready for training camp.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 7 Months
Carlos Delfino (foot surgery) is expected to return to Milwaukee prior to the All-Star break in February.
His return to the U.S. is an encouraging mile-marker during his lengthy rehab, but there's still no guarantee that he'll step on the court this season.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 8 Months
Carlos Delfino (foot surgery) isn't sure whether he'll play during the 2013-14 season, saying, "some people say [the rehab takes] six months. Some people say three months."
"I want to be on the court and not limping. I've been to so many doctors," Delfino said. "Once I get to the court, I want to make sure I'm going to be there and not have a setback again." He was bothered by a plate and screws put into his foot during an initial surgery last May, and shock-wave therapy didn't have any effect, so he opted to have the plate removed and a new screw inserted "at a different angle." He'll be off his feet for eight weeks and it doesn't sound like he'll contribute much, if anything, for the Bucks this season.
Carlos Delfino SG/SF MIL 8 Months
Carlos Delfino will be limited to non-weight bearing activities for eight weeks after having right foot surgery on Saturday.
Delfino wrote on his personal website in November that he wouldn't return this season, but the Bucks haven't yet ruled him out. Even if he does return for a handful of games, there's no reason for fantasy owners to consider him until late February or March.

The race to unseat incumbent Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell is a little less crowded.
Shelby County Commission Chairman James Harvey pulled out of the May 6 Democratic mayoral primary race on Thursday.
That leaves three Democrats still in the running -- former Shelby County Commissioner Deidre Malone, who is running a second time for county mayor; former legacy Memphis City Schools board member Rev. Kenneth Whalum, Jr.'; and Shelby County Commissioner and University of Memphis law professor Dr. Steve Mulroy.

The fallout, though, was hardly as bad as it seemed it would be at the time. In the months since, Daley has fought twice, defeating Daniel Acacio in Australia in July before beating Jorge Masvidal at the recent Shark Fights event in Amarillo, Texas. Earlier this week, Daley sealed his quick return to major league MMA when when he inked a six-fight contract with Strikeforce.
"I'm obviously very excited," Daley told MMA Fighting in an email. "Strikeforce is a great promotion and there are some real good fights for me there."
The 27-year-old Brit, a winner of six of his last seven bouts, is likely to become an immediate contender in the Strikeforce welterweight division. Known for his powerful striking, most notably a crushing left hook, Daley's scored 18 of his 25 career win by KO or TKO.
After fighting so recently though, Daley hopes to take a bit of time off before making his promotional debut, though he says he "definitely" wants to fight before the year is out.
As for his plans in the division, which is currently ruled by champion Nick Diaz, Team Daley says they will follow the vision of Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker and the company matchmaker, though his manager Wad Alameddine notes that Daley usually tends to make strong first impressions.
"Paul tends to hit the ground running wherever he goes and is pretty adaptable to different organizations as he's competed at many different ones now," Alameddine said. "Paul is still ranked in the world top 10 -- and top 5 on some websites -- so he's right up there in terms of skill, reputation and opponents he's beaten, etc., so hopefully he'll have the opportunity bring the belt home next year at some point."
Daley himself says he's not so focused on Diaz but getting to the top.
"I want to be champion," he said. "I go to every promotion with the view of fighting and beating the best, the champion. Not Nick Diaz necessarily but whoever has the belt is my target. Nick's got to fight KJ [Noons] first."
After suffering through a potentially career-defining moment, Daley has persevered and now stands poised to start fresh. Asked if the new beginning will help smooth over the rough unexpected ending to his UFC career, Daley goes a more practical route.
"I'm just happy to still be doing what I love," he said. "I plan to give you more great fights and excitement, with typical Semtex-style finishes."
