that the film may not be coming out anytime soon, due to a nasty financial dispute between two of the companies behind it.
Make no mistake, the film exists. Anton Yelchin took a break from yelling "Kyeptin on ze bridj!" in the "Star Trek" movies to star in it as a fry cook with supernatural powers, alongside Lily Collins, Tim Robbins, Willem Dafoe and Patton Oswalt. Oh, and 50 Cent, playing a blind DJ. (Awesome). It's finished, and it has a trailer that leaked out a little earlier this spring. It's just sitting there, waiting for various Hollywood lawyers to finish off a "Hunger Games"-esque litigation fight (we hope). Basically, as THR reported earlier in the year, shingle Two Out Of Ten is taking their former production pals on the movie Outsource Media Group (good name) to court over $35 million they are apparently owed for marketing and other costs. So yeah, this could take a while....
In the meantime, the film has scored a DVD release in Hungary: a couple of decades from now, that information will be an incredibly obscure piece of trivia that you can use to enhance your standing with movie nerds around the world, so commit it to memory now. But do not despair, this summer will finally see the releaseof "All The Boys Love Mandy Lane," a perennial unreleased film. At which rate, expect "Odd Thomas" some time in 2020. [Page To Premiere]

not true! GOLDFARB i just saw it and the casting is perfect! . i have read all koontz books and this movie tell the back story of Odd Thomas perfectly. Anton Yelchin does a great job as Odd
George | November 25, 2013 10:36 PM
Awww, damn! With a cast starring the likes of Tim Robbins, Willem Defoe, 50 Cent, & Patton Oswalt, we already know this movie is going to absolutely suck! Not to mention, Anton Yelchin as 'Odd Thomas'? Really? C'mon! Whoever cast this movie, it's terribly obvious, had neither the slightest idea what they were doing, nor could they possibly have even read the books!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Koontz' "Odd Thomas" stories and have been anticipating a few really good movies based on the novels. Thanks for the heads up, though, IndieWire! We definitely won't be wasting any time waiting around for this.

Chapter 14-The Dance3 Reviews
Kristina guiltily goes to the dance...or does she?
I should've stuck to that self-vow that I would never wear a skirt again. It was extremely difficult to get out through the window and I almost fell when I was climbing over the fence. Thankfully, Pete was there to catch me.
"Hi Kris! You're looking beautiful tonight," Pete smiled charmingly as he set me down.
I looked him over. He was wearing a tuxedo, something I never thought I'd see him in.
"Nice tux," I commented and forced a smile. I had not forgotten about Alicia.
"C'mon, Todd's driving us again," there was a tinge of envy in his voice when he mentioned Todd. I decided to ignore it since I had my conscience to deal with.
I took his hand as he led me to Todd's SUV. I hardly talked, which was unusual for me unless I had a problem. And I did.
"Stop the car," I said.
"What's wrong?" both Wentzes asked in unison.
"Just stop."
Todd pulled over to the side of the road. I opened the door and jumped out.
"Where're you going?!" Pete got up after me.
"I'm going to my best friend's house. I'm sorry Pete; I can't go to the dance with you."
"Okay...can I come with you then?"
I was taken aback. "You're not angry?"
He cocked his head, "Why would I be angry?"
"Because I can't go to the dance."
"I don't care...as long as we're together everything's fine."
What a clichéd statement. But I knew it wasn't a lie. We spent about thirty seconds smiling at each other. Then I started towards Alicia's house. Pete followed. His brother was left in the red vehicle with a confused expression on his face.
On the way there, I explained why exactly we were going.
"But how did she know that you snuck out for the concert?" he asked, looking perplexed.
I shrugged, "She's just Alicia. She knows everything about everyone,"
Pete still looked puzzled but by then we were outside her house. I knocked on the front door just like I had yesterday. Mrs. Mayer opened the door again, this time looking surprised.
"Why, hello Kristina. I wasn't expecting you,"
"Neither was I...well I wasn't expecting myself to come but I--can me and my friend go see Alicia?" I gestured towards Pete who was panting behind me.
"Go right ahead...she's upstairs...I'm not sure if she'll talk to you though. She's been moody for the past few days."
I gulped the giant lump in my throat and walked upstairs slowly. Alicia was once again in bed watching TV. She didn't look any better than she did yesterday. She didn't notice us standing near her door and I was completely fine with that because I had no idea what to do. But then Pete had to cough.
"YOU!" she yelled, pointing at me.
"Yeah me...and Pete."
She glared, "Are you here to rub it in my face?"
I sighed and walked to her bedside, "There's nothing to rub and if there was I wouldn't rub it," she remained silent as I continued, "I've been a bitch. You're right, I should've remembered to call you or visit you or something...I promise I'll never be that stupid again. Alicia, you're the best friend I've ever had and no guy is gonna change that, okay? Will you forgive me? Please?" I pouted.
Her lips twitched. She was trying not to smile but finally her mouth stretched into a wide grin. Out of the blue, she hugged me, "Ehmygod, Kris, you are so corny!" The three of us in the room laughed. Pete and I decided to stay here and watch 'Singing In The Rain' with Alicia. We were having a lot of fun imitating the actors once it was over.
"No, no, no," I said, attempting a manly voice.
"Yes, Yes, Yes!" Pete tried imitating the high pitched female voice.
We all burst into laughter. I didn't notice the time fly by. Until, something went terribly wrong.

Hi Glenn
Thank you for this - a good effect, well explained.
I've given this a subedit for wiki style - just tidying up the Icode use and making "Summary" into an "implementation section". Also improved (I think) the English of the introduction. Can you please check that I didn't break your meaning with my changes.

Andrew Goodman | January 24, 2014 | Comments
A breakdown of three different ways start-ups often use PPC to acquire new customers and a look at which ones have proven to be the most successful.
Paid search is the quintessential tool for acquiring new customers. So shouldn't it be the ideal tool for high-growth start-up companies? Yes it can be, but it often isn't. So let's start there.
Great new ideas sometimes aren't ready to spread via paid advertising, especially not when they're competing in expensive keyword auctions. As an advisor to any start-up, your second job is great tactics. Your first job is strategy: knowing when to advise entrepreneurs that there are other things they should be doing first, before spending money on paid media (either with available funds, or with sweat and favors), like put more into product development, recruit key cofounders or technical staff, traditional or new (online) PR, inbound or content marketing, etc.
Start-ups that have raised around $1 million in seed capital, of course, can probably afford to budget for paid advertising on top of the other priorities, assuming they have some cash flow. (In ecommerce, consumer finance, or very well defined B2B spaces, pay-per-click [PPC] might vault right to the top of the list even in bootstrapped startups, in cases when a bit of compelling content or glad-handing influencers pales in comparison with the immediate customer acquisition potential of PPC.)
Broadly categorized, the main uses of PPC we've seen fall into:
Let's look at number three first. Probably the biggest tragedy in the land of start-ups falls over at the slow end of the "fail fast" vs. "fail slowly" spectrum. Companies that cling solely to inbound marketing, charm, etc. -- oftentimes simply benefiting from temporary success in the ever-shifting world of Google organic search -- may never reach critical mass, and may never really seriously test their business model against "normal" acquisition costs (free simply isn't a credible price for gaining a new customer in the real world). Too much hope is a problem for entrepreneurs, just as much as too little hope or too little perseverance might be. We worked with an innovative but tiny start-up in the telecommunications space, and the entrepreneur decided smartly to budget a certain amount for PPC so he could understand consumer behavior. Nice product, and for a consumer, a nice-to-have but not a must-have. (Consider that Skype might have been this start-up's biggest competitor at the time.)
Despite ego-boosting positive feedback from some early customers, the results of testing paid ads were pretty dismal. The entrepreneur was forced to take a more serious look at the upside limits to the business, and seriously question whether the idea was worth raising capital or mortgaging his house for. After all, he had a day job as a lawyer. The difficulty of converting new customers via PPC helped him to understand that a few pockets of consumer interest didn't necessarily translate into a scalable business. At least the experiment was cheap.
The second option, acting like a traditional business, has been a clear success for the start-ups we've worked with. Whether it's making a small profit on each ecommerce sale, gaining new high-end large-buyer B2B customer wins, or undercutting the "big guys" in SaaS, hardware, or software, many start-ups have found that PPC leads to them feeling like a real business sooner than later. Positive cash flow combined with a steadily increasing pipeline of real customer response data is start-up nirvana; well, actually, it's simply business nirvana. Why make the distinction between a start-up and any other business? Although their needs and outlook may in fact vary greatly from larger, more established businesses, this approach to PPC has helped many start-ups succeed. Steady growth, by the way, doesn't preclude "hockey-stick growth stories." Indeed, when five or six years of data and growing dominance are all laid out before strong strategists and deep-pocketed investors, a "go big" shift is easier to undertake. And instead of discussing "burn rates," the entrepreneur is taking home a growing paycheck.
When it comes to number one and "go big": please don't go there right away. Strategy number one -- the massive market-sizing exercise -- rarely makes sense. We've had start-ups come to us with thin business models who have a minimum spend in mind (because their prominent celebrity investors were feeling their oats? we had no idea): "spend $75,000 per month on a bunch of celebrity names!" or what have you. The funny thing about massively failed "market-sizing exercises" is that the investors will often leave the party suddenly. The start-up -- instead of working on the product or idea, gaining validation, and winding up a long-term success -- is prematurely aborted. The company "pivots," the CEO might lose control, the investors get 80 percent of the company in a "down round," and so on. Sure, "fail fast" might be a glib mantra that appeals to the partners and investors who potentially have large pools of capital to deploy, but it does the entrepreneur -- the one who pins her hopes and dreams on making this thing succeed as a real business -- little good. "Fail fast" is best reserved for the small, affordable tests outlined in strategy number three. And if you're the business owner, there is no better discipline at first than spending your own money in an attempt to either carve out a return or gain valuable market insight.
That doesn't mean start-ups shouldn't want to move quickly. PPC is nimble, and can help a new company make its mark before potential competitors even know what hit them. Many have reached significant funding milestones as a result of PPC's ability to generate a solid customer base without waiting around for "inbound marketing alone" to make a hero out of them. PPC also "makes you smart," as my colleague Mona Elesseily points out. Because the clicks cost money, you're more apt to test landing pages, UI features, business model details, etc.
Raises of, say, $1 or $2 million, are supposed to leave some money in the budget to accelerate growth -- often at break-even levels and no better --so the investors can decide whether to place their next, bigger bet on the company. Once funds raised are in the $5 million and up range, typically there will be plenty of marketing dollars earmarked in the budget for a full-scale paid marketing effort. Especially in tech, we've worked with quite a few start-ups that have progressed through the ranks quickly with rapid customer acquisition strategies via PPC.

Ultrasound scans of faces in utero can distinguish between when a fetus yawns and when it just opens its mouth, according to research published November 28 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Nadja Reissland from the University of Durham and colleagues at other institutions.
The researchers found that during the period between 24 to 36 weeks of gestation, they could distinguish between yawns and simple mouth openings on ultrasound images of fetal faces. They report that simple mouth openings occur less often than yawns and the frequency of these openings declines from 24 weeks of gestation onward. More than half of all mouth openings are yawns at 24 weeks of gestation, and the frequency of yawns begins to decline at a later stage (28 weeks onward).
The study suggests that trends in yawning behavior may potentially be used to track healthy fetal development. Reissland says, "Fetus yawning is not contagious, nor do they yawn because they are "sleepy". Instead, frequency of yawning in the womb might be related to activity-dependent brain maturation early in gestation."

Manitoba peels off a title
Dunstone wins junior crown with monster last-rock takeout
FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. -- Matt Dunstone's Manitoba rink won the men's title at the Canadian junior curling championship Saturday night with a 4-3 victory over Alberta's Thomas Scoffin.
Tied in the 10th end, Alberta got a break when a Manitoba peel attempt on Dunstone's first delivery nudged one of Alberta stones in the house to bite the button, corner-frozen to a Manitoba rock.
Scoffin froze to his own frozen rock, and Dunstone played a peel-weight double takeout for the win.
It's Manitoba's first gold medal since 2002, when Winnipeg's David Hamblin claimed the Canadian title at Summerside, P.E.I., and the seventh Canadian junior men's title won by a Manitoba team.
"It's a dream come true," said Dunstone, moments after the victory. "There are still no words to explain it. It's hard to believe."
Dunstone, 17, was backed up by third Colton Lott, second Daniel Grant, lead Brendan MacCuish, while Scoffin teamed with lead Bryce Bucholz, second Landon Bucholz and third Dylan Gousseau.
"They're a good team; you knew they were going to come back on us," said Dunstone, 17.
"We were never comfortable with our two-point lead. We knew we had to play well in all 10 ends, and thankfully his last rock overcurled by just a hair and we had a shot to win."
"We missed a few key shots in that game and that was the difference," said Scoffin, who was skipping in his seventh Canadian juniors but his first for Alberta (the previous six were with the Yukon).
"He made a great shot, he's been making those all week. We had to give him a tough one; my last shot overcurled by a couple inches, and that's the way it is."
Dunstone reached the final after a pair of must-win games Friday -- over Saskatchewan's Brady Scharback in the last game of the round robin and against Ontario's Aaron Squires in a third-place tiebreaker -- before winning 9-4 over Nova Scotia's Stuart Thompson in the semifinal earlier Saturday.
The loss ended a bid for back-to-back gold medals for Alberta at the tournament.
The Manitobans will represent Canada at the world juniors, starting Feb. 28 in Sochi, Russia, which serves as a test event for the 2014 Winter Olympics curling competition.
"Ever since I was three years old, I was on the kitchen floor imitating Jeff Stoughton," said Dunstone, who throws from similar Manitoba tuck position to Stoughton, and even smacks his old-school taped-up corn broom on the ice before throwing a rock, just like Stoughton. "Now, here we are -- we get to go to Sochi, Russia, with a Maple Leaf on our back. It's a great feeling."
The women's Canadian junior curling playoffs are set for today, as Manitoba's Shannon Birchard takes on Ontario's Jamie Sinclair in the semifinal. The winner meets B.C.'s Corryn Brown for the gold medal.
Both games will be televised on TSN and RDS2.
NOTES: Dunstone's grandparents, Jim and Carol, the 1980 Canadian mixed curling champions and recent inductees to the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame, were in attendance.

New Orleans — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for bribery, money laundering and other corruption that spanned his two terms as mayor — including the chaotic years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan handed down the sentence Wednesday morning.
Nagin was convicted Feb. 12 of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from businessmen who wanted work from the city or Nagin's support for various projects. The bribes came in the form of money, free vacations and truckloads of free granite for his family business.
The 58-year-old Democrat had defiantly denied any wrongdoing after his 2013 indictment and during his February trial.
Moments before sentencing, a subdued Nagin made a brief statement, thanking the judge for her professionalism. He made no apologies. "I trust that God's going to work all this out," he said.
After the sentencing Nagin smiled and hugged supporters as he walked out of the courtroom with his wife, Seletha, and other family members and friends.
Nagin is to report to the federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana, in September.

Do you want to do screen shots???
Under KDE 3.5 you just hit the print screen key to do a screen snapshot. I guess the option should be the same under 4.X
Also should work under Gnome
- 11-17-2008 #4
I need the snapshot software to be able to print screen from a selectable region, the active window, the full screen and most importantly a whole scrollable web page as one long image. I haven't found anything like this on Linux and I need it for my research when print-screening websites.
This way I can have my images ready in a flash, without editing them in GIMP. This save a huge amount of time.

When choosing the appropriate size, first check the measurements of your ankle, shank, thigh, and hip. Then choose with reference to your height for a more accurate selection. A medium size is suitable for those who are 150 – 160cm tall while a large size is suitable for those who are 155 – 165cm tall. However, for spindlelegs whose height is over 160cm, it is recommended to choose a medium-sized Pant Stocking.
how to use it

And the Giraffe - Creature Collector
Reviewed by
And the Giraffe
Creature Collector
Record Label: Unsigned
Release Date: November 2nd, 2012
A few weeks ago, I noticed I had a band called And the Giraffe liked on my personal Facebook page. I didnt quite remember liking them, but I dont just like any band page without a reason for it. I went to their page, and they said that they had a new EP coming out in November, so I was immediately anticipated. They had a few of the tracks on Bandcamp that you could buy (and get the rest of the tracks when they come out) as a teaser, or you could just wait until the album released as a pay what you want download. I listened to a bit of a track that was on their Bandcamp, and was certainly hooked. I downloaded it when it was released, and I was a bit disappointed that it was only six songs, but they total to be about 25 minutes, which is quite nice. Its a very nice length, and overall, a very nice EP.
The band describe themselves as an ambient dream folk band, and I wasnt too sure what that meant, but after listening to new EP
Creature Collector
, I definitely figured it out. Their sound is certainly quite unique, and Ive never really heard a band that sounds like them. I do hear bits of pieces of other bands (well, influences, anyway), but they have a sound all their own, which is quite hard to find in music today, regardless of the genre.
Creature Collector
opens with Find My Name In the Sun, and this song really sets the stage for what And the Giraffe is really about. It starts off with a folksy riff from what Im pretty sure is a banjo, and immediately, it has almost a Bon Iver vibe to me, and I like it a lot. The song is pretty quiet, and folksy, which is cool, because I like this kind of stuff a lot. The tempo is quite slow throughout this song, but it doesnt mean its not good; in fact, its quite beautiful, really. The first song really does show one where the ambient dream folk sound comes from. Theyre certainly ambient, very dreamy, and folksy. Its all there, and it works quite well. The ambient part comes in at the very end, with a very weird electronic little bit in the last minute of the song that leads right into the next one, Of the Moment. This song also starts off quite ambiently, if thats even a word, and it almost seems like an instrumental track, because the vocals dont kick in for the first minute, and are very scattered throughout. Its quite clear from the second track that this band have no use for a formula of any kind, which is great, because theyre quite out there, to be honest. Theyre nothing like Ive heard before, and theyre very interesting. Third track Sorry is one of my favorite tracks on the EP, because I love the way this song sounds. This is an actual song, rather than just an experimental ambient track, and it really shows what the band is made of, like the first track. Lyrically, this is also my favorite track, because its all about the singer expressing his apologies to someone for a reason we, as the listeners, are not sure about. There are also some female vocals in this track as well, like a harmony, basically. Its really cool, and shakes things up a bit. The last minute of this song also has a really weird and experimental instrumental as well, and its very different from the track was at the end of, but it really works, nonetheless. Its quite interesting, and it keeps me wanting to listen to more.
As the EP goes on, it falls victim to what I call Genericitis, or something to that effect. Its complicated, though, because as I mentioned earlier, the band has such a unique sound, but this band seems to be following a band like Mumford and Sons footsteps. Not in their actual sound, but in the way they make their music. Im a huge fan of Mumford and Sons, and their new Babel was one of my favorites so far this year, but the problem with that record was how it wasnt different from 2009s Sigh No More at all. They have a sound of their own, but its almost like they think they can just make records where dont expand on that sound. The same seems to be going for And the Giraffe. The first few songs are really cool, and really unique, but as you keep going, theres not that much that changes. I like this EP a lot, dont get me wrong, but it is plagued with a lack of variety. Theres only so much of the ambient dream folk we take, but thankfully, this EP is very tasteful at 25 minutes, so its quite forgivable. Fifth track Take Care is another track I really like. It doesnt really do anything I havent heard on the rest of the EP, but it sounds quite interesting, nonetheless. Its also very short, which is another interesting part, because its the shortest song on the EP at a bit over 2 minutes. Ironically, last track Enough Is Enough is 6 minutes, and the longest song on the EP. Its really folksy, and definitely has that dream-pop aspect as well. Its a nice closing track, and it picks up a bit more about two minutes in. Its just a really relaxing song, which follows suit with the whole EP, essentially.
Overall, this is a great EP for anyone who is a fan of folk, indie, or experimental music. Theres a lot to take from this, but the problem is, they do get slightly boring. Not that its terrible, but theres not a lot of variation on their sound, as awesome as it is. They suffer from the same thing that Mumford and Sons do, which I mentioned briefly earlier. It works quite nicely on a single release, but having more than a few songs that have the same sound, or having more than a couple albums with this sound is a bit redundant. The thing that makes this a good release is that its an EP. Its not too short, but not too long, either. Its right in the middle, where it should be. I am very excited to see where this band will go next, because they have a sound I definitely get into.

On a corner in Lygon Street, East Brunswick is an unassuming and understated cafe. Serving breakfast and lunch every day but one, it may be a relief to know about this cafe that explicitly caters to a hangover – and who drinks on a monday night anyway right?. Sit down in a comfy booth and Gingerlee will provide you with an excellent coffee and then point you gently towards its signature breakfast dish ... There, in the middle of the menu, is your saviour: eggs, bacon, chilli jam and a Bloody Mary.
But if this is not your state of affairs there's still much to keep you sated. Breakfast at Gingerlee has a decidedly exotic flavour, from Israeli eggs to Moroccan tagines, there's a Middle Eastern feast to be had before midday. The Syrian-style French toast with orange blossom syrup, honey labne, stewed rhubarb and pistachio tastes as spectacular as it sounds, teetering like the Tower of Pisa as the staff deliver it to your table.
If you're a late riser, take advantage of the brunch menu, which runs concurrently with breakfast after 11am. Once the clock ticks over to midday, a glance at the wine list is available, with a focus on Spain.

When the Securities and Exchange Commission lost a market-timing lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year, it also lost millions in fines in another market-timing case.
Citing the high court's February ruling that fraud lawsuits must be filed within five years of the alleged crime, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals slashed the penalty levied against hedge fund Pentagon Capital Management and its founder. The court ordered the two to pay a combined $38.4 million in disgorgement, but said that the civil fine against the two must be cut. The trial-court judge had ordered Pentagon and Lewis Chester to pay nearly $90 million in disgorgement, civil penalties and prejudgment interest.
The issue? The SEC accused Pentagon of defrauding mutual funds with a late-trading scheme from June 1999 through September 2003—but didn't sue until April 2008.
The court did uphold the lower-court finding against Pentagon and Chester. Pentagon, which Chester shuttered just before the SEC sued, and its founder had argued that they did not seek to deceive anyone with their practices, and could not be held primarily liable for securities fraud as investment advisor. But Chief Circuit Judge John Walker wrote that late-trading is inherently deceitful.

Howard is the big prize
K.C. Johnson
The Magic, for the deal they didn't have to do. Many expected them to be forced into dealing Dwight Howard. Instead, management held its ground and Howard, after as much back-and-forth as Brett Favre, decided to opt in for next season.
That instantly stamps the Magic as a team that has a chance to exit the Eastern Conference. (And then the Magic get to go through all this silliness again at next year's deadline!)
Another team that helped itself is the Clippers, who needed more perimeter scoring since Chauncey Billups went down. After missing out on J.R. Smith, the Clippers landed Nick Young, who can be immature at times but definitely can score. And the Clippers got him for very little as well.
Jackson can be difference
Barry Stavro
Los Angeles Times
Stephen Jackson can't stay still: eight teams in 12 seasons, and now a second stop in San Antonio after the Spurs swapped Richard Jefferson for him Thursday. Never an All-Star, the 6-8 Jackson thinks he is one and plays with attitude. He's averaged 16 points a game in his career. And one of the dirty secrets in the NBA is that most players actually don't want the ball at the end of a game — but Jackson does, and he can still put it in the hole.
At 33, Jackson is also desperate for another contract and he'll play his tail off for Gregg Popovich. Pop and Jax also won a title together in 2003. So look out Thunder and Lakers fans — the Spurs might be the last team standing in the Western Conference.

Angelic Mistakes: The Art of Thomas Merton
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the last decade of his life, while living as a hermit-monk in dialogue with the world, Thomas Merton created a body of visual art that has remained largely unknown and little studied in the nearly forty years since his death. With this book, Merton's art at last moves out of the shadows to be appreciated for what it is: a revealing expression of his state of mind and heart in the 1960s, and a visual correlative to his mature works of spiritual writing such as New Seeds of Contemplation and Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander. Roger Lipsey provides a fascinating analysis of the simple and striking images and their significance in Merton's journey. He find in them resonances with Asian calligraphy and American abstract expressionism, and relates them to the influence of Merton's wide circle of friends, which included such diverse figures as the Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain, the poet Czeslaw Milosz, the Zen scholar D. T. Suzuki, and the artist Ad Reinhardt—among many others.
But the centerpiece of the book is the art itself, presented in a portfolio of thirty-four representative pieces that reflect the changing themes and methods of Merton's work. Each is accompanied by selections from his writings from the 1960s that reflect the inward and outward territories Merton was exploring in the period when these remarkable images were created.
Striking new insights into the life and thoughts of the beloved spiritual writer are presented through his rarely seen visual art produced in the last decade of his life.This collection presents 40 of the most telling examples of Merton's art, each accompanied by an excerpt from Merton's own writing on art.
About the Author
Roger Lipsey earned a Ph.D. in the history of art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. A director of the parent company that publishes the journal Parabola, he has written on art and spirituality for many years. He is the author of The Spiritual in Twentieth Century Art. He lives in Garrison, New York.

global warming
Americans Are Cooling Toward Global Warming
Part of the reason is the financial situation and part of it is the new evidence that science is producing which is making Americans more skeptical about the AGW crowd's claims.
Recent Gallup polls carry the news:
Here's what Gallup found: The number of Americans who say the media have exaggerated global warming jumped to a record 41 percent in 2009, up from 35 percent a year ago. The most marked increase came among political independents, whose ranks of doubters swelled from 33 percent to 44 percent. Republican doubters grew from 59 percent to 66 percent, while Democratic skeptics stayed at around 20 percent.
What's more, fewer Americans believe the effects of global warming have started to occur: 53 percent see signs of a hotter planet, down from 61 percent in 2008. Global warming placed last among eight environmental concerns Gallup asked respondents to rank, with water pollution landing the top spot.
Another recent Gallup study found that, for the first time in 25 years of polling, more Americans care about economic growth than the environment. Just 42 percent of people surveyed said the environment takes precedence over growth, while 51 percent asserted expansion carries more weight. That reverses results from 2008, when 49 percent of respondents said the environment was paramount and 42 percent said economic growth came first. In 1985, the poll's first year, 61 percent placed a bigger priority on the environment, while 28 percent ranked economic growth highest.
Scientists have begun to push back against those who have been claiming "consensus" for so long. And, Americans are simply becoming more informed about the matter. Part of that is the effect of the new media which has broken the monopoly hold of the mass media's ability to shape public opinion. As the poll points out, Americans increasingly think the media is exaggerating the problem. That skepticism has to be based in something, and the only media carrying the skeptical side of the argument is the new media.
Obviously, since the financial meltdown, priorities have also changed. While AGW was apparently never a high priority among environmental priorities, it is dead last now. That's again because people are becoming more informed about the economic impact of the draconian legislative measures being touted as a solution. And as time goes by, and there is more of a focus put on cap-and-trade legislation, I expect the numbers in opposition to go up even further.
Naturally the opposition disagrees and cites polls from Pew and the National Wildlife Federation that they claim contradict Gallup (no date for those two polls is given). But as you recall, Rasmussen had a very recent poll which had similar results to the Gallup poll.
The radical agenda is in trouble, folks. Whether that means Democrats will "listen" as they claim they do, is another matter entirely. I fully expect them to attempt to ram both health care and cap-and-trade through. But that doesn't mean we have to give them a pass if they do. Be your "un-American" best and tell them loudly and strongly that cap-and-trade is not a good thing for the US and is not something that should be passed while the science of AGW is decidedly unproven.
Again, what's the freakin' rush?
Antarctic Ice Shelf Split – Global Warming Or Volcanic Activity?
Another day, another breathless "Antarctica is melting" report:
An ice bridge linking a shelf of ice the size of Jamaica to two islands in Antarctica has snapped.
Scientists say the collapse could mean the Wilkins Ice Shelf is on the brink of breaking away, and provides further evidence of rapid change in the region.
Sited on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Wilkins shelf has been retreating since the 1990s.
The BBC report seems to consciously avoid blaming it on global warming, but does imply the change is recent (and leaves it to you to decide what that means):
"The fact that it's retreating and now has lost connection with one of its islands is really a strong indication that the warming on the Antarctic is having an effect on yet another ice shelf."
Since this is a floating ice shelf, its breakaway will have zero effect on sea levels.
The NYT, of course, is not so careful with its coverage:
An ice bridge holding a vast Antarctic ice shelf in place has shattered and may herald a wider collapse caused by global warming, a scientist said Saturday.
While citing both articles, Think Progress naturally choses the more dire pronouncement as its lede.
Of course we've been through this before. You may remember the discussion when it first came up almost a year ago to the day, we did some research and discovered, low and behold, that the area where the Wilkins Ice Sheet is located also happens to be the location of some active undersea volcanoes.
Notice the ice shelf is on the western side of the peninsula and south of its tip. Now, look at this:
Well I'll be – an active volcano very near the shelf which also vents further up the peninsula. I wonder – could that cause a bit of warming in the area?
Last year, the Ice Cap provided a little sanity to the discussion. Then it was an MSNBC report. It is essentially no different than thes reports. In fact it is more of what they don't say than what they do say the make the news reports suspect. Here's what Ice Cap said last year:
The [MSNBC] account may be misinterpreted by some as the ice cap or a significant (vast) portion is collapsing. In reality it and all the former shelves that collapsed are small and most near the Antarctic peninsula which sticks well out from Antarctica into the currents and winds of the South Atlantic and lies in a tectonically active region with surface and subsurface active volcanic activity. The vast continent has actually cooled since 1979.
The full Wilkins 6,000 square mile ice shelf is just 0.39% of the current ice sheet (just 0.1% of the extent last September). Only a small portion of it between 1/10th-1/20th of Wilkins has separated so far, like an icicle falling off a snow and ice covered house. And this winter is coming on quickly. In fact the ice is returning so fast, it is running an amazing 60% ahead (4.0 vs 2.5 million square km extent) of last year when it set a new record. The ice extent is already approaching the second highest level for extent since the measurements began by satellite in 1979 and just a few days into the Southern Hemisphere winter and 6 months ahead of the peak. Wilkins like all the others that temporarily broke up will refreeze soon. We are very likely going to exceed last year's record. Yet the world is left with the false impression Antarctica's ice sheet is also starting to disappear.
In other words, it is tiny portion of Antarctica which is located in a part of the continent which is most exposed to South Pacific currents and also has "surface and subsurface volcanic activity" to add to any warming. Graphically it looks like this:
So, other than it finally looks like Wilkins may split away, the situation isn't any more dire than it was last year at this time and seems, instead, to be the work of natural forces that certainly would have a warming effect without the assistance of any sort of "global warming".

The Monstrous Races in Medieval Art and Thought (Medieval Studies)by John Block Friedman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
During the Middle Ages, travelers in Africa and Asia reported that "monstrous races" thrived beyond the boundaries of the known world. John B. Friedman offers an introspective look at these races and their interaction with Western art, literature, and philosophy.
Book News Annotation:
Friedman (English, Kent State U.) calls them monstrous because they differ in physical appearance and social practices from whoever was describing them. He finds them lurking in , populating the outermost edges of world maps, and resting in neat frames on pages of illustrated encyclopedias. He has made corrections to the 1981 cloth edition and updated the bibliography.

Switch!: U.S. Treasury pulls a flip-flop
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced yesterday that there is now a different plan for how to spend that $700 billion bailout package that the Congress recently approved.
When Congress OK'd the deal the plan was to spend it buying troubled mortgage assets. Now, Paulson wants to use the money to buy bank stocks and some are calling him a flip-flopper. Paulson says the switch would be best for the economy because after this help, banks would be more likely to lend money to consumers seeking new credit card accounts or money for things like a car or student loan. What do you think about the switch?
The Silver Lining: Gas prices continue to drop
So the economy sucks, but at least gas isn't $5 a gallon like we all expected it to be by this time. The Associated Press reports that gasoline prices, which have declined by nearly 50 percent since July, are expected to remain relatively low, averaging $2.37 a gallon through 2009, according to the Energy Department. (Regular unleaded at the station up the street from my condo is going for $1.87 a gallon. Whoo hoo!) And even though you'll probably be paying more to heat your home this winter than you did last year, this dramatic drop in world oil prices means you'll be paying a lot less than what had been projected.
Underwood and Chesney win big
You can pretend to hate country music all you want, but you know that Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" is on your iPod. Underwood co-hosted the Country Music Association Awards last night and the former American Idol took home the award for female vocalist of the year for the third year in a row. Kenny Chesney snagged the prestigious entertainer of the year award for the third year in a row – fourth time overall – at the awards show which was held at Nashville's Sommet Center.

By Thomas J. Harrigan, Fantasy Sports Writer
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - I'm thinking of taking a little vacation.
Considering how well some rest has worked for some of the NHL's goaltenders, I expect some time off to help spur my productivity through the dead sports period between the Super Bowl and March Madness.
OK, so the goalies I mentioned didn't just take off because they wanted to; all of them were either injured or ill.
But the guys who missed time -- Jonathan Quick, Jaroslav Halak, Sergei Bobrovsky, Anton Khudobin, Ben Bishop and Tim Thomas -- are among the hottest goalies in the NHL.
These six players sat out a combined 87 games before returning at some point in the past couple of weeks.
Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings
Missed: 24 games
Reason: groin strain
Performance since his return: Quick's backups, Ben Scrivens and Martin Jones, were sensational in his absence, but the former Conn Smythe winner has reaffirmed his hold on the starting job with a 3-1-1 record, a 1.39 GAA, a .942 SV% and a shutout in four starts.
Jaroslav Halak, St. Louis Blues
Missed: five games
Reason: illness
Performance since his return: Halak struggled in December, going 3-3-1 with a 3.23 GAA and an .885 SV%, and he couldn't shake an illness toward the end of the month, so the St. Louis Blues sent him home. He's returned in top form, shutting out the Calgary Flames in his first start back and then holding the Phoenix Coyotes to one goal in a win Tuesday night.
Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus Blue Jackets
Missed: 14 games
Performance since his return: Bobrovsky, the 2012-13 Vezina Trophy winner from the Columbus Blue Jackets, had a GAA of 2.60 in October and 3.00 in November before his injury. He too rediscovered his "A" game during his sabbatical and has gone 3-0-0 with a 1.62 GAA, a .953 SV% and one shutout since returning.
Anton Khudobin, Carolina Hurricanes
Missed: 32 games
Reason: ankle injury
Performance since his return: Cam Ward's timely lower-body injury allowed Khudobin, Ward's expected backup, to claim the starting job upon his return. The 27-year-old won his first four starts after getting back in the crease on Jan. 2 and has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.00 GAA and a .938 SV% since that point.
Tim Thomas, Florida Panthers
Missed: eight games
Reason: groin injury
Performance since his return: Thomas seemingly needed the break more than anymore after going 6-9-1 with a 2.89 GAA and a .904 SV% in the first two months of the season. Of course, the 39-year-old also had all of 2012-13 off. In six starts since he made it back between the pipes, Thomas has gone 3-2-1 with a 1.90 GAA and a .940 SV%.
Ben Bishop, Tampa Bay Lightning
Missed: four games
Reason: sprained wrist
Performance since his return: Bishop stopped 33 of the 34 shots the New York Rangers sent his way Tuesday and is 23-5-3 with a 1.83 GAA and a .937 SV% this season. He has another long break coming up in February after the USA Olympic team snubbed him in favor of Ryan Miller, Jimmy Howard and Quick.
Getting a rest didn't work for everyone. Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford is winless in five starts since returning from a four-week absence due to a lower-body injury.
However, his struggles have more to do with the timing of his comeback than the quality of his play. He posted a strong .925 SV% in his five starts but faced 34.4 SOG per game in that span, so his GAA was only 2.52. Plus, four of his five losses came in overtime or the shootout.
Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings sat out three weeks in December due to a sprained MCL and has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.75 GAA in five starts since returning, but he too has posted an excellent SV% (.922). In fact, Howard allowed two goals or less in three of those five starts while making 44 saves in two of them, so it hasn't been all bad.
The next return from a lengthy absence should come from Minnesota Wild goaltender Josh Harding, who has started just two games since Dec. 17 while dealing with an adjustment to his medication for multiple sclerosis.
Harding skated with his teammates Tuesday morning and appears to be on the comeback trail.
As for Braden Holtby of the Washington Capitals? He appears to be on a permanent (paid) vacation.
Lucky him.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The House of Representatives on Thursday voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusal to turn over documents related to the failed "Fast and Furious" gun probe. Lawmakers voted 255 to 67 to approve the Republican bill. The citation now goes to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, who reports to Holder and can choose whether or not to begin criminal prosecution proceedings against his boss.

Customer Reviews for NAMTI Spa (1)
June 4, 2013
The best deal in Sedona!
Sedona is overpriced; NAMTI is underpriced. I got a 2 hour massage for only $110! Practically unheard of pricing! NAMTI is clean, professional, and friendly. It's not some hoity-toity spa with fluffy bathrobes and fawning attendants bringing you cucumber-infused water, and that's not what I was looking for. I wanted someone to take the pain out of my back and legs, and found just that. My massage therapist was knowledgeable, professional, and very attentive. I had taken a tumble that morning, so he was parituclarly careful around my cuts and scrapes. The room was clean, private, and very peaceful. I came out of my session so refreshed and renewed that I couldn't wait to get back in there and have another session. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was everything I was looking for in a clean, basic spa. If you want luxury-class service without paying luxury prices, this is absolutely the place to go.

How can I activate my NX class ship?
I'm Lieutenant 8, bought the NX class in C store but when I go to star ship selection there's only the default ship and then below it says (no ship). Do I have to buy additional ship slots (im currently free to play) in order to active the ship?
You can select the "NX" by renaming a ship. First rename is free. So whenever you get a new ship select "Rename" and set your desired name and number, and select NCC or NX.
edit: I forgot to mention that the "NX" is no special ship oder class. It is just an alternative for the usual "NCC".
Sorry I meant to say that I purchased the actual NX Replica ship to fly around. But I can't figure out how to active it. When I go to an NPC to select the NX Replica I just have my initial light cruiser in the menu, followed by a (no ship) slot.
Ah, now I understand your problem. :)
After buying a special ship in C store you have to "buy" it in the shipyard like any other regular ship. It should cost 0 EC. After you "bought" the new ship in the shipyard, you should be able to select it and make it your active ship.
Thanks!!! :D
Edit: Although that could be because I bought them on the website, not in game.
You may need to go to the Cstore/Ships/Federation then select the NX and click the "claim" tab.
Then you should see it at the ship selection officer.
