Archaeological Diggings Magazine
About Archaeological Diggings MagazineIndiana Jones has a lot to answer for. Magazines such as this one showcase the very best of archaeology, the stunning finds, the fascinating architecture of world famous features such as the Pyramids, the on-going investigations that may just reveal something world-changing. This is all well and good (rather surprising good - great magazine this one!), but these were found not through swashbuckling archaeology but through painstaking, time consuming and patience wearing effort. Not once did the fine archaeologists featured in the magazine ever swing across a chasm using only a bullwhip (well, probably not. We don't actually know that for sure). The whole facade of archaeology being a dangerous but thrilling pursuit is a flimsy one - doing this in Britain is likely to involve far more Time-Team-ian digging through a muddy field in Norfolk than snakes and scorpions. Perhaps that is the reason that Archaeological Diggings focuses on the middle-east, rather than the east-midlands. We are pretty sure that there was a lot more interesting history being made over there than over here. So, in summary - Indiana Jones and the Swashbuckling Facade, effort and time spent in the middle-east and muddy fields in the middle of England. At least in the middle-east they'd have some nice weather and a chance of finding something genuinely exciting. More Info

To me every was good, I would change any thing
I wish I had thought to bring my receipt from 3/31/14, local use to get my discount.
A nice friendly staff that handles the rental quickly & efficiently.
I've now had the honor of using this location, 3 times, over the past six years, and I wouldn't think of using, another company, or location!
Everything, Is well-explained and thorough. The owners, right there, St the front desk, are absolutely, THE BEST!
Thank you again!
Cathy was very helpful. My whole experience went well.
Everything was great
Rated "No" for 'clean equipment' because as soon as I climbed into the driver's seat of the truck I rented, I was slapped in the face with a very strong, foul odor. The entire truck smelled like old sweaty armpits. Workers should wipe down and spray air freshener after each completed rental. It will take only one minute! I had to do it. And I am used to being walked out to the truck by an employee. The worker just took my money and gave me the ticket with the truck number on it, and POINTED in the general direction of where my rental was parked WHILE SITTING IN HER SEAT. I'm smart, so it didn't take me long to find my rental among all the parked trucks. But I'm simply used to better customer service with U-HAUL. Also, I did not receive a truck with a full tank of gas, as preferred/desired. So, as expected, I got ripped off concerning the gas. I tried to add only the gas I actually used, but I didn't have a reliable method to accurately measure it, so the tank was FULL when I returned the truck. Lady said they don't credit you for returning the truck with extra gas, BUT YOU DAMN WELL SHOULD.
Fast, no bs, and pleasant.
Everything was PERFECT. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment time and the truck was already out in front waiting on me. The 2 workers were very professional and pleasant. I will always recommend this location. This is the only location I use (at least 9 times). THANK YOU!
Keys were locked in the truck without a spare before doing the walkthrough. Moving plans delayed an hour and a half.
Check the battery. We had to jump the truck to get it started. No big deal, but just an inconvenience.
Compensate customer for broken down truck as well as trucks not being at location twice
Service was amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Truck and store were clean. Would definitely return.
I was actually late returning the vehicle and never received an irate phone call, note, or email. I am sorry that it was necessary to have the vehicle longer than planned. I have every intention on continuing to use your service. You are all very customer service oriented. Thanks.
I will not be using Uhaul again. I drove straight from Fenton, MO to Tulane University, only stopping for fuel and a hotel (which were both at the highway) but according to the Uhaul person that checked me in, I was 309 miles over the allotment. NOT POSSIBLE!! I had to pay an extra $124. I was scammed and will not be using UHaul again.
Excellent customer service--actually I turned this truck in after hours. I was having a little trouble with self drop off--called the service number--got a guy Scott I think and he talked me through what seemed like a big problem to no problem at all.
It was the best service I had
Thanks you
Everyone went the extra mile, asking me if I needed equipment and supplies to move with. And I will do business with this u-haul store again.
Owner was there, helpful, friendly and efficient
The lady at the front desk is is very rude. she charged me a whole extra day for being a little late on my return. I told her since I was paying for a whole day again I would keep it till my time is up. She informed me I would be charged 100$ a hour I'd I didn't have back by when she said so
Let them know about the use of the dollie and blankets to prevent sticker shock
Good location and easy to find. We did an after hours drop off so we did not interact with staff. However, they did have instructions clearly posted on their front entrance which reinforced next steps for the drop off.
Well done.
The woman behind the counter was very nice, the truck was ready when we were. All was great! No complaints at all!
Manager was extremely organized and got me into the truck in impressively short time!
I was disappointed that there were no straps to secure things. There was a nice ledge to put boxes but no way to strap them in.

Coworker is telling me this is some sort of compendium of unreleased
exploits. Figuring that the average exploit would take up about 5 pages
of printed text, and the book at 650 pages, that would lead me to infer
that it has somehwere around 130 new exploits. WTF? What is the point of
releasing 130 undocumented exploits ? D C M A .... oops did i say somthing wrong ?

Rabe calls for new creative heroes, moratorium on the usual suspects
I'm on a quest. If I see one more documentary, book, or exhibit about Charles Bukowski, Frida Kahlo, or Hunter S. Thompson, I'm going to lose it.
Well, I don't mind seeing this photo of Thompson again:
(What happened, Hunter?)
Yes, they were great. Yes, they used to be wholly unappreciated or under-appreciated. But not any more! We know all about them, they have been appreciated. They lurk in the shadows no more. But they are now overexposed and no better than the Rolling Stones in the way journo's let them suck up space in the public's limited attention span. (Look, I'm fine if the Stones record new albums and go on tour and write books, but why do journo's feel compelled to cover each new thing like there's something new to talk about? I'm fine if you want to do yet another Hunter S. Thompson documentary, but really, couldn't you find someone else?)
This group of artists have become stand-ins for the outré, the underground, the outsider; a subject any sleepy journo or documentarian can revisit on a random fifth or 10th anniversary that will guarantee an audience and some web hits.
Review: LA Opera's 'Billy Budd' hard to surpass
Robert Millard/LA Opera
Greer Grimsley (top) as John Claggart and Keith Jameson as the Novice.
LA Opera performs Benjamin Britten's "Billy Budd" through March 16 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The opera is based on Herman Melville's book of the same name, adapted by E.M. Forster and Eric Crozier, and features baritone Liam Bonner as Billy, tenor Richard Croft as Captain Vere, and bass Greer Grimsley as Claggart in a production by Francesca Zambello. James Conlon leads the LA Opera orchestra and chorus.
"Billy Budd" was Herman Melville's literary time bomb. A parable of guilt and innocence, it wasn't until long after the great novelist's death that this story was found unfinished in his archives. But it instantly took its place, alongside "Moby Dick," as one of his major works.
Perhaps because it is both great and incomplete, people ever since have struggled to make whole Melville's tale of a near-perfect man destroyed by his own goodness. I first saw it as a live TV play in 1955, when it starred, of all people, a very young William Shatner as Billy.
Marc Haefele: Sid Caesar saved my childhood
Comedian Sid Caesar in the backyard of his Beverly Hills, Ca., home on May 11, 1982.
I think it was Matt Groening who said that the prime virtue of television was that it allowed families who wanted to kill one another to sit together peacefully for hours on end.
That's exactly what the various iterations of Sid Caesar's "Show of Shows" did for my beleaguered family unit back in the early 1950s — my mother wasting away from a series of degenerative ailments for which she refused to seek medical attention, my father abraded on the millstone of a dead-end white-collar job, and my brother and I struggling through troubled early adolescence with a minimum of positive parental attention.
In other words, we were like many, perhaps most, of the real-time families of that Eisenhower era, silently miserable in an age of plenty for many — and hypocritical happiness for all.
CD Review: Schreker's 'The Stigmatized,' a great moment in LA Opera history
Robert Millard
The LA Opera's 2010 dress rehearsal for Franz Schreker's not quite forgotten 3-hour masterpiece, "Die Gezeichneten," or "The Stigmatized." It's now available in a 3-CD set from Bridge Records.
Off-Ramp contributor Marc Haefele reviews a newly released recording of "Die Gezeichneten," by Franz Schreker. It's a 3-CD set from Bridge Records featuring the Los Angeles Opera and soloists under James Conlon, from the 2009-2010 season.
One of the proudest accomplishments in the 28-year history of the Los Angeles Opera has finally gone on the record, literally. It's a production brought to the Dorothy Chandler stage in an unprecedented, if controversial, demonstration of the company's maturity, raising its international reputation as a leading-edge musical institution.
No, I am most certainly not talking about the notorious Achin Freya-designed Wagner Ring Cycle, a $30 million fiscal sinkhole that, with a production that looked like a collaboration between Bertolt Brecht and Pee-wee Herman, has hamstrung the company's ambitions ever since. I'm talking about L.A. Opera's courageous mounting, for the first time in the Western Hemisphere, of Franz Schreker's not quite forgotten three-hour masterpiece, "Die Gezeichneten," or "The Stigmatized."
Valentine's Day: Crowdsourced non-icky date options, or 'What, they're all out of Cold Duck!?'
LAPL/Herald-Examiner collection
"Heart-shaped box of candy, silver belt, and Valentine greetings found in Eugene H. White's blood-stained car." c. 1947.
Here's the thing. This is bad:
What, they're all out of Cold Duck!? You don't want this in your mouth or even on your table.
But come Valentine's Day, it's the kind of thing you'll get at about 9-million restaurants in Southern California, along with a fixed-price menu, inflexible dining times, and high prices. Even my beloved Musso & Frank is doing it, and is booked solid.
So we put out the call to listeners to show a little #kpcclove and suggest some refuges from the Valentine's Industry.
Note: The following are all possibilities, based on listener suggestions; please call the restaurants themselves to confirm if they have room, and if they're doing the Valentine's shtick.
On KPCC's Facebook page, Kelly Kubik recommends The Park in Echo Park (as of presstime, there was room at 9:30pm). Sean Hise says Rice Thai Tapas on Glenarm in Pasadena is a good option; although I checked and they only have space at 5:30pm. Benjamin Alvarez posted: Taco Joe's restaurant in Highland CA. Nice sit down restaurant. Less than $30 per couple."

Late last week, fans of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones received some good news when it was finally announced that the show will be returning for season four on April 6.
Along with the premiere date, we learned that a season four trailer would be coming on Sunday night at 8:55 p.m. ET before the series premiere of True Detective.
That time is finally here.
After plenty of anticipation for the season premiere and official launch of the season four trailer, we got to put our eyes on the trailer after a long day as we received some insight into what we should expect from Game of Thrones this season.
You can watch the trailer below:
Shooting for the new season lasted a whopping 136 days before calling it a wrap, with shooting taking place in three different countries. Iceland, Croatia and Northern Ireland will all be in the backdrop when Game of Thrones returns to HBO. On April 6, we will finally be able to put an end to the wait and enjoy the new episodes.
What did you think of the official trailer for season four of Game of Thrones? Sound off in the comments section below with your thoughts.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The Coach House Block Shiraz comes from an estate grown, single vineyard near the tiny hamlet of Greenock in the sub-region of the Barossa Valley. It is generous and supple whilst soft and approachable upon release. An ultra-rich, heady, mouth-filling shiraz that combines balanced acidity and mid-palate texture.
The color is a very deep black, with a
gentle perfume of aniseed, roasted nuts, lavender, mineral, earth, tar and espresso.
On the palate, the wine is big, even and persistent coating entry of pure fruit weight. Rounded purple to black fruits that continue on an extended and long finish, with a wealth of classy tannins that make the finish very soft, rounded and balanced.
"The purple/black-colored 2006 Shiraz Coach House Block Roennfeldt Road exhibits a brooding bouquet of blue and black fruits, Asian spices, and toasty oak. Supple, ripe, and more forward than the Zippy's Block, this layered, pleasure-bent wine can be enjoyed now but will evolve for several more years. It should provide pleasure through 2021."
96 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Plush in texture, lavishly oaked and resonant with gorgeous black cherry, plum and licorice flavors that glide smoothly over polished tannins and linger impressively on the long, generous finish. Defines power with finesse. Drink now through 2020."
95 Points
Wine Spectator
"Opaque ruby. Deeply concentrated and youthfully brooding on the nose, with a slow-to-open bouquet of dark berry preserves, hot asphalt, cured tobacco, spicecake and crystallized flowers. Juicy blackberry, cassis and cherry-cola flavors are deepened by bitter chocolate and candied licorice, yet maintain improbable clarity. Manages to be deep and lively at once, and offers outstanding finishing clarity, energy and clinging persistence. There's no excess fat or warmth here, despite the fact that this weighs in at almost 17% alcohol. Pretty impressive."
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"For this reviewer to not notice the alcohol in a wine that weighs in at 16.4% there have to be a lot of other things going on in the glass. So it is with this wine, which is loaded with bakery aromas of vanilla, brown sugar, nutmeg, white pepper alongside concentrated flavors of Christmas pudding, ripe berries and a savory edge to the finish. Drink 2012-2018."

Like him (my brother, not Sam Witwicky), I was hesitant to believe it, thinking it sounded more movie myth than anything else—you can see a dead munchkin hanged behind Optimus' head! But then I saw the video. I Believe.

The fuel-supply line quick-connector on my Dodge Ram van is leaking and it is impossible right now to purchase a replacement of any kind.I examined it and has concluded that the vinyl o-ring is the problem,not the rubber o-rings that are also installed with the vinyl one.I'm thinking that I could cut the connector off and connect the line to the tank with a piece of rubber-hose and two clamps.....Is there any thing wrong with that idea? I mean, regular clamps should hold the pressure......part of the line is connected with a piece of rubber-hose and no clamps as original equipment.....agree or disagree?....Thanks for a prompt response.....frankiedon.
Dodge ram van 5.2L ; I have had a catalyst and evap monitors flashing on my carmd code reader for over a year.I have replaced both oxygen sensors before and aft. Driven the van numerous times stop and go etc. Do the flashing monitors mean that something is wrong or just that the monitors are not running and if they are not running would'nt that mean that something is not functioning?....Confused. Thank you .
I removed the resistor which is in the upper part of the a/c box and looked at the 3-springs.All are intact.
Hi p0122 is throttle position sensor circuit low input meaning that the power feed is missing: I would visually check the connector that leads to the t.p.s. see if it is secure,carefully disconnect it and apply some diellectric grease.If the wires are all intact and the grease does'nt make a difference then a test on the sensor and the circuit will have to be performed carefully so as not to short circuit the computer.I suggest you purchase a repair manual which will explain how to carry out the test carefully and you will need a multimeter as well.Haynes or chilton manuals are available at auto shops.....I don't have the code P1693.It is not very difficult to replace the t.p.s.just remove the two srews that holds it to the throttle body unplug the connector and reverse the procedure. Disconnect the negative battery lead while working on it.
What about the rubbers in the strut bars.The strut bars are close to the seat .But I would also check the trans. mount.
There is a sensor or solinoid on the extension housing of the trans. It is high up in a corner .I wish I knew what it is because it leaks fluid but I don't want to trouble it before I know what it does and if it just needs a new rubber ring.Any one knows ? Thanks for any help.
Need to know if my transmission is a 36rh or 46rh. It has electronic overdrive because it can be shut off with a button.I have gathered some info. that seems to be saying that the trans. in the 1995 to 2001 1500to 2500 v8 5.2L is 36rh.On the other hand the 1500 to 3500 1995to 2003 v8 5.2L has 46rh.It is one or the other but I can't decide.My van has a 318 engine. Is there a more specific way to be sure? thanks for any help.
Driving with a low tank can cause problems and if debris is in the tank the pump will be damaged either by the debris or lack of lubrication as the gas lubricates the pump.It is best to keep tank closer to half.
If the coolant is disappearing fast, lost of power, white smoke from exhaust,and no visible signs of a leak then one would have to conclude a broken head-gasket or cracked block or head but I would rather think it is a head-gasket myself for now.A pressure test on the cooling system would confirm.I also believe that if there is a blockkage like a collapsed radiator hose or blockkage in the radiator it could make the water boil away but I suppose one would see the steam.
If the bendix gear is damaged it will jam in the ring-gear and won't return like it is suppose to.If it is not damaged then a little light oil on the bendix worm can help it to return but the only way to know would be to remove the starter and have a look at the gear for damage to the bendix and or ring-gear.This kind of a problem could also be a sluggish solinoid or dirty starter motor inside not making proper contact.Also neutral/start switch and/or the transmission gear selector not properly engaged.Some times the gear-selector needs adjusting in order for the n/s switch to function: look at the P.R.N.D.L. gear-selector carefully and see if the letters are corresponding to the gear shift lever.Also play around with it from P.to N.and try cranking if it cranks sometimes and sometimes not then it may need adjusting first and then check N/S switch if condition does not change.A repair manual for your model can be purchased at Advance auto which will indicate where everything is.

Unlike insurance rates, which are decreasing slightly or at least stabilizing, aviation financing rates have apparently bottomed out and were on the rise last month.
However, like home mortgage rates, interest rates for aircraft are still near historic lows. What direction they go next is impossible to predict accurately, but current economic conditions seem to point in a continued upward direction.

Panda Bear — Scheherezade
Alright, no more April foolin'- this is the real deal. I've had time enough for a single playthrough of Tomboy (there'll be many more to come), and good lord, people. I'm sure there's no shortage of crazed, wide-eyed hyperbole spreading through blogs like wildfire, but I'll be damned if it isn't entirely deserved. First off, let me reiterate something said in my fake post: this ain't Person Pitch. It's OK though! We were told to expect a curveball, and Noah's not one to make the same album twice (anyone heard Young Prayer lately?). But enough comparisons- let's talk "Scheherezade". Not only does this track provide one of the most noticeable tonal shifts on the record, it's also one of the most unapologetically bleak tracks on either Tomboy or Person Pitch. While Noah's reverberated vocals are usually used to a sort of joyous, widescreen effect, here they hang like a tired fog. Chimes flutter while a hushed static rumbles in the background, painting everything in a dim, forlorn light. It's not a side of Panda Bear we're used to seeing, but hey- even Lisbonites get the blues.

8 Unhealthiest Cookout Foods
You may not even know that many of the cookout foods that you enjoy can be swapped out for a healthier option
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Summer is almost in full swing and barbecues, cookouts, and picnics are happening every weekend. While many of us are getting ready to fire up the grill and serve up some classic barbecue fare this season, there are a few healthier choices you can make. You may not even know that many of the cookout foods that you enjoy can be replaced by a healthier option. We've compiled a list of the unhealthiest cookout foods and what you can serve instead to still have a delicious cookout.
Click here to see the 8 Unhealthiest Cookout Foods (Slideshow)
Hamburgers and hot dogs are a cookout classic — and there's no need to cut them out entirely. Try opting for lean hamburger beef or even trying a turkey or vegetable burger. Same goes for the hot dogs — try a lean beef or turkey dog. Skip the bacon, cheese, and mayonnaise, and add a little mustard and fresh vegetables instead. We've found even more popular cookout foods, from mains to sides and desserts, that we've made healthier. Sounds easy enough, right?
By just making a few changes, you can completely transform your cookout menu into something healthy and lower in calories for your family and guests. This summer is about being fit, healthy, and active. Don't get weighed down by unhealthy cookout foods at you barbecue. Try some of these tips and suggestions to have the best (and healthiest) cookout on the block.
Sugary Barbecue Sauce
Check the label on your store-bought barbecue sauce. Many of them are super high in sugar and sodium. Keep the sauce to a minimum or try making your own to ensure healthy ingredients are used.
Mayonnaise-based Salads
Pasta, macaroni, and potato salads are full of heavy and thick mayonnaise-based dressings. Instead, use a nonfat Greek-style yogurt for the base. You can also use a light, citrus dressing with olive oil and fresh herbs.

I get a kick out of reading about all the "unhealthy" foods we're all eating. When in my opinion, if we'd just eat these unhealthy foods in moderation, we'd be fine. I've tried lean hamburgers on the grill, they come off tasting flat and dry. I've tried "healthy" hotdogs and they don't taste anything like the hotdogs I enjoyed as a youth.
I have to agree 100% with the 4 previous commenters.
This is the most outdated, head-in-the-sand advice possible. As another comment pointed out, the truth is that low-fat = healthy is a dangerous myth that must be busted. Wake up and do your own research on how good, natural fat benefits you. Eliminating processed carbs will pay off way more than shoving in weight watcher bars with 1000 ingredients.
No marbled steaks??? No fat burgers??? How bout ya just slap a chunk of tofu on the grill! You'd get the same flavor! Whoever wrote this is a complete tard when it comes to grilling!
Low fat recommendations are misguided and revealed to be unhealthy. Everyday more and more reports are reveling that a high carb low fat diet is contributing to the increasing rate of obesity.
Very helpful. Now I will start grilling pasta, hummus, cottage cheese, and maybe even rice, And don't forget the grilled yogurt. Yummy! And to think that all these years I've been wasting my time with rib-eyes, burgers, and franks.

Having fun in the sun on the Costa Rican beach in July 2012.
Having fun in the sun on the Costa Rican beach in July 2012.
I'd forgive you if you were crazy, but you're not, you're weak.
Last night I rallied my friends and we saw Blue Ruin, directed by Jeremy Saulnier. This film has won a bunch of awards and while I enjoyed the film making overall, the movie really dragged. I appreciate when a film builds up the tension and then is able to release it in a huge climax however I never felt like that tension was properly released with this one.
We meet Dwight (played by a transformative Macon Blair) in the middle of a complex story. The beginning of the film held that same slow pace but with acute attention to detail. Detail was paid to the routine and style with which the main character lived. a homeless man living in a busted up car in a beach town, the filmmaking leaves the impression that Dwight is patiently waiting for something, which allows him to organize his day-to-day life and cope with the present reality. That reality (and the wait) comes crashing down when a double murderer is released from prison and Dwight goes to meet him. Dwight is not a trained killer by any means and struggles to keep a clear head as he deals with the stress of seeking revenge, executing that revenge, messily executing the individual who was newly released from prison, and dealing with the repercussions.
The film traverses the line between psychological thriller and gory violence and as we dive further into the psychology of the main character, we wonder ourselves how far we would go for vindication. But Dwight is poorly prepared, and is barely able to keep ahead of his antagonists, who are trained in weapons and killing. a strategically violent family, the antagonists of Blue Ruin are well prepared for confrontation, as the final scene indicates (whoops, spoiler!). Dwight is not without skill, though. He thinks ahead, he is quick and nimble, escaping from situations in the nick of time and problem-solving on the spot in times of tension. This allows him to confront the armed and criminal family who has so thoroughly damaged his life.
a beautifully filmed thriller, Blue Ruin maintains it's focus on the present events as they unfold. although it offers an explanation for the violence and revenge, the film doesn't linger on the details. We're left to imagine the grotesque murder of two lovers (the parents of Dwight) after a love affair goes array that has haunted the two families for decades. However, without offering more details, the film becomes difficult to follow since it fails to provide more concrete and timely explanations of who knows who, who is related to who, and who the families are. Part of this is by design, obviously, in order to provide a psychologically twisting narrative that keeps you engaged. However, the script, with all it's "our parents, your parents, our aunt, your brother, this grandson, the guy in prison, this woman is your sister but the movie script makes you think they're married" just ends up getting convoluted to the point that it becomes tedious to follow the plot line.
If the film passes the Bechdel Test, it barely passes. There are multiple female characters but they exchange only a few words between them, which may or may not be words that are about the men in the movie.
Despite the dragging narrative at times and the complicated interpersonal relationships, the film is fascinating to watch and cinematically beautiful. I'll be looking forward to watching this film again at home and further evaluating it in the future. The title, Blue Ruin, apparently alludes to a catastrophe but may also reference the bullet-holed up blue car that Dwight drives everywhere.
I recommend seeing it and making yourself watch the gory parts. Don't shut your eyes or you'll miss some great moments and dark humor!

a few months ago the amazing athens-based photographer Rebecca Ciprus approached me about doing a hoop photography shoot. Here is one of the shots we created.
She had a dark side.
Finding Vivian Maier documents the work and art of a New York nanny born in 1929. By diving into her life through the thousands of photographs and films she kept hidden in her lifetime, this documentary tries to uncover the elusive creature that is Vivian Maier.
She probably didn't want all this fame. 'Oh No' she'd say, 'Oh No, now why did he do that?'
Vivian Maier became a nanny for the freedom it allowed her after working in an oppressive sewing sweatshop for little pay. In between nanny-ing, She traveled the world extensively, intruding into private and emotional moments of humanity in dozens of countries with her Rollieflex camera. She captured sadness, joy and the weathered effects of poverty in New York City with her camera positioned at her stomach. as the film explains, her photos often have a towering perspective, giving authority to her subjects. although a street photography genuis, Vivian had a dark side.
In interviews with former charges, it quickly comes to light that Vivian's obsession with disturbing newspaper headlines, her eye for the grotesque and off-kilter, point to deeper mental issues. Not only was Vivian terrified and angry at men around her, but her grown charges recount physical abuse, perpetuating a cycle she no doubt suffered within herself. One woman recounts how Vivian force fed and choked her as a child, noting that Vivian had likely been through something terrible herself. Vivian was also a hoarder, keeping piles of newspapers reaching to the ceiling in her small quarters with each family she lived with.
Vivian's mental health and accusations against her of child abuse beg the relevant debate: Can we or should we respect the artistic work of a person who knowingly used their power to sexual or physically abuse others? Does great art require a deranged mind? am I even asking the right questions?
In the case of Woody Allen, Hollywood refuses to acknowledge the victim's perspective, a 7 year old Dylan Farrow who has had to live with the trauma of her molestation and also the problematic reaction of Hollywood- one which denied Dylan's voice while lauding Woody for his work, as though his artistic work that can determine his entire character.
What if (dare I ask it) great art and being propelled towards abusively dominant and completely inappropriate behavior just go together. What if one enables the other and vice versa? What if this is the price we pay for great art?
These are not easy questions and I am without answers. The feminist side of me (and the side that has to live in a world all too accepting of perpetrators of violence) says, "No, we must not accept or condone sexual, physical or mental abuse of anyone, going so far as to deny the perpetrator an artistic voice in the world because they do not deserve artistic recognition unless they can make a valuable artistic contribution to society without perpetuating cycles of violence."
But then again, what if great art can and does emerge from the grotesque depths of our beings? The world must not shy away from these difficult dialogues and shun artists, but instead must engage with the art while not forgetting the darker sides of humanity and the real human lives that were negatively affected by abuse.
Surprisingly amusing at times and disturbingly dark, Finding Vivian Maier wove a complex portrait of an elusive photographer and disturbed person who is quickly becoming one of the most respected photographers of our century postmortem.
Bechtel Test Score: Passes on all accounts. There are multiple women who talk to each other about Vivian and a variety of related topics.

A place where the students retreat for months, the Union is full of good people, the coffee shop is relaxing, Strouds Run becomes a daily outing, there's never a wait at Casa and the sun is hot hot hot on these Appalachian hills, this is Athens, Ohio.
And! I am back on the movie review train for my last summer here. $4 Tuesdays and her sister day, Free Pop Corn Wednesdays at The Athena Cinema on Court Street will once again be my movie viewing days, followed by my review.
I believe that we should experience a reflection of aspects of our own unique lives in movies. I watch movies by searching for the commentary on my own journey, because a great movie will reveal lessons to me. If I can't learn a thoughtful idea on humanity than an important element is likely missing. Above all, this is the key element in a movie for me.
I also evaluate my films from the Betchel Test perspective. As cinema should reflect realities from our lives, the Betchel Test determines this accuracy from the feminist perspective. This test was designed to score the representation of reality for the female gender. Unfortunately many movies miss this mark, which is a pity because passing The betchel Test would enhance a lot of movies' plot, acting, directing, and script writing.
The Test is as follows:
1) Are there more than 2 females in the movie? (Yes = potentially feminist, continue to question 2)
2) Do the 3 + female characters talk to each other? (Yes = THANK GOD. How many movies have you seen in which the female characters only talk to men? Consider. It's a surprisingly high number, isn't it?)
3) Do these 3 + female characters who talk to each other talk about anything (literally ANYTHING) other than men?
Answer yes to all these questions and congratulations, your movie may be feminist and conscious of the real lives of women the world over. Women who interact with each other.
Now let's dig deeper. Why would women be portrayed in movies only in terms of men? Well because patriarchy. Fuck the patriarchy!
No, but really. Men run the film industry and therefore don't often consider the female perspective. My own theory is that when we portray women in movies as having independent lives from men it threatens the sexist power dynamic.
Women who interact with each other, talk. Women who talk to each other inevitably start revolutions and stir shit up. Feminists of the 60s and 70s knew this when they began conciousness raising groups. Any female rock band knows this is true. Women are killing it in politics today.
So why are a large number of films failing to show women as they are- thinking, communicating, thought provoking and plot driving beings? Mysteries of the universe.
This speaks to my privilege but I've heard of a race version of the Betchel Test, which I'm assuming are very similar questions but with race instead of gender. I will look those up and use that analysis in my movie review.
Ah so summer, we meet again. I've waited all year for $4 Tuesdays to happen again. Sometimes we have to go through a year long depression before being able to pick a hobby like this back up. Or is that just me?
Another story for another time,
Hans SG

Toshiba OEM 7 Home Premium
Hi, 3 quick questions for the gurus, if you please!
I bought a Toshiba Satellite L500-20Z, and it does not tell me which version I am running, ( 32or64 ) though I know it IS x64.
The in-store shpeil said it was equipped with Win 7 Home premium 64bit, with 32bit recovery partition.
Question 1 - is there any way to tell between 32 or 64 (apart from a "Program Files (x64)" folder on my C: drive), and
Question 2 - how do I tell what build I have? (the above link says nothing)
Question 3 - how to tell if the recovery is 64 and not just 32 without wiping my existing instal?
(I suppose I could take an image of my current C: drive and use that instead of the recovery partition if disaster strikes.... only trouble is with OEM theres so much bloat and crap that's incluided...)
I'm a noob, from XP, and this is my 2nd post. Thanks all!

I think that most of your questions will be answered by:
typing winver in search
right clicking on the computer icon on desktop and properties
Not sure how to tell about recovery but I am quite certain it is the same as your OS.

thank you Sir, I had just seen that winver.exe somewhere else,...

The recovery partition will be the same version as what is installed in the machine, so if your version is x64, the recovery image will be x64, and vice-versa.
To see if you are running 32 or 64 bit, just look at the System page in Control Panel. It will tell you there.
As far as the build is concerned, it should be 7600.xxx It isn't really important as Toshiba probably modified that when they added the bloat ware.
I have a Toshiba A210 laptop with all the bloat ware added in. It's running Vista HP. What I did was to make the normal Toshiba recovery disks if they are needed for an emergency, and then I made a copy of a friend's Vista HP OEM disk. If anything goes wrong, I'll use that disk to restore, and use the Toshiba key, avoiding the bloat ware in the process. No worries on piracy there, since I'm using my own key to re-install.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
1: You should know, based on what you paid for when you bought the laptop, but your system properties should tell you clearly.
2: Who cares what build you have? If you bought it from Toshiba, it came with Windows 7 final...no need to know the build number, unless you are messing around with a hacked warez copy...at which point it won't be discussed on here.
3. The recovery will be whatever OS came with your laptop, which should still be installed.
I'm making an assumption here, but based on your questions, you seem to have installed a copy of Windows 7 that you didn't get from legit sources. I may be wrong, but if you are only using the legit copy that came with your laptop, you wouldn't need to ask these questions.

Facebook quells fears over code leak snafu
Server configuration errors led to a leak of a portion the code used by social networking site Facebook over the weekend. The glitch was quickly fixed but not before samples of the code were posted on a new blog, Facebook Secrets, for world+dog to see (the site remains live at time of writing). The leak involved scripts used on …
It reminds me of those idiot website-making newbies (i.e. me), who try to just lob a PHP script on their server (i.e. last week). If that's the case, someone probably has quite a bit of egg all over their face (I've just had breakfast)
To see my appalling website...
(not that I'm spamming!)
I wonder who might have done that
Imagine, after all this uptime, that a server is "suddenly" "misconfigured". What could cause that? Kernel rebuild? Apache rebuild? Application install? $5000?
@Dillon: A new one
Dillon: It was a new server added to the load balancer. Please leave your FUD at the door.
@ Rob
It was a _misconfigured_ server added to the load balancer.

Vote on pot shops could end lingering LA issue
Wednesday - 5/22/2013, 8:50pm EDT
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Voters approved a law limiting the number of medical pot shops in Los Angeles after politicians failed for years to corral the blossoming industry.
The winning ballot measure on Tuesday caps the number of nonprofit dispensaries at about 135 from a high of nearly 1,000 a few years ago. It also imposes higher taxes, regulates hours of operation, and sets rules on proximity to parks and schools.
The new law was passed several weeks after the state Supreme Court gave municipalities the right to ban stores outright.
The move by Los Angeles voters could be the best chance yet to end the City Council's patchwork attempts to control or even eliminate marijuana stores -- efforts that often backfired.
"I don't want to keep going on this legal merry-go-round," said attorney David Welch, who has represented dispensaries in various lawsuits against the city. "I think everyone wants this to be over."
Medical marijuana has been legal in California since voters approved it statewide in 1996. Regulating collectives has been a major challenge in many communities, none more so than the nation's second-largest city.
The number of Los Angeles dispensaries has surged since 2007, outnumbering Starbucks coffee shops and prompting a series of unsuccessful efforts by lawmakers to bring order to the industry.
The new law will do little to serve as a model for other cities, said professor Jessica Levinson of Loyola Law School.
"I think we've been the perfect picture of dysfunction," she said. "Most of the guidance is actually what not to do."
An ordinance was passed three years ago that slashed the number of shops from roughly 1,000 to 70. But the city was bombarded with dozens of lawsuits by dispensaries and the law expired last year, leading to another surge of pot shops.
Last summer, the city banned all shops, but repealed the move two months later after enough signatures were gathered to put a ballot measure to voters. Eventually, three measures were placed on Tuesday's ballot.
The prevailing proposition, known as Proposition D, received about 63 percent of the vote. Of the two defeated measures, one had been abandoned by supporters in favor of Proposition D; the other would not have limited the number of collectives but would have required audits and background checks of employees.
Opponents claimed Proposition D creates a medical marijuana monopoly among remaining shops.
Supporters of the winning measure, which was put on the ballot by the City Council and supported by both mayoral candidates, said it would balance the needs of ailing patients who say they need the drug with concerns about loitering and crime related to pot shops that popped up across the city.
The current number of landlords and shop owners could be around 2,000, said Jane Usher, special assistant city attorney, though officials have had difficulty determining firm numbers as new dispensaries open and others close.
Under the new law, which will take effect after the election is certified in about a month, dispensaries that aren't eligible to remain open will be notified by city officials to close or face possible civil or criminal action. There are no provisions to replace or reopen shops that close.
Owners forced out of business could end up taking a well-worn route to court.
"The pot shops are not going to take this lightly," Levinson said. "I think they will drag their feet exactly as long as it takes until police officers are at their door."
City officials are still awaiting a decision from the state's highest court over whether Los Angeles can exclude businesses that opened after a certain date. The suit challenged the 2010 ordinance, which mirrors the new law that only approved shops that were in business by 2007.
Usher said she's encouraged the city has better legal footing than it did three years ago.
"The good news is since we litigated so many of these issues that may be raised again, there are answers today whereas in 2010 there was not," she said.
Shops that can remain open still run the risk of being shut down by the U.S. government, which deems marijuana illegal and has raided clinics, prosecuted owners and filed lawsuits against landlords in California.

|Project Title:
|Kaposi's Sarcoma and Human Herpesvirus in Africa
|Fiscal Year:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) - a devastating malignancy closely associated with HIV/AIDS - is still very wide-spread in sub-Saharan African countries such as Zambia, where anti-retroviral therapy (ARV) has only recently become available. Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiologic agent associated with KS. Our laboratory is widely recognized for its study of the transmission of HIV and HHV-8 and the establishment of a large mother-infant cohort in Zambia to study those two viruses. We were the first to establish that HHV-8 can be transmitted perinatally and together with HIV contribute to the increase of Kaposi's sarcoma in children in Africa. More recently, in collaboration with CDC- GAP Zambia, we determined the early childhood infection rate of HHV-8. As such, we are ideally positioned to lead the proposed study, the first of its magnitude in the African setting. We have found perinatal transmission can occur in utero, but most HHV-8 infections occur during early childhood via horizontal transmission, with HHV-8 seroconversion occurring even in instances where the child's mother or entire household is HHV-8 negative. Moreover, HIV-1 is a major risk factor for HHV-8 infection, and we found HIV-1 infected children have a five-fold higher risk for infection by HHV-8 as compared to uninfected children, most likely due to immune suppression as a result of HIV-1 infection. It is possible that restoration of the immune response via ARV will reduce HHV-8 infection of HIV-1 positive children and enhance the immune response against HHV-8 in infected individuals. Unfortunately, the impact of ARV on HHV-8 transmission and on HHV-8 disease pathogenesis is unknown. We hypothesize that the treatment of HIV-1 infected children by ARV will substantially lower their risk of being infected by HHV-8 and reduce the risk of disease progression toward developing KS in infected children by enhancing their anti-HHV-8 immune response and reducing viral reactivation. The overall objective of the proposed study is to make use of our established study infrastructure to determine the impact of ARV treatment on HHV-8 transmission, on anti-HHV-8 immune response, and on viral reactivation. We propose to utilize relevant participants in our existing cohort and to recruit additional subjects for our proposed study, as appropriate. To test the validity of our hypothesis, we are proposing two aims. The first is to determine whether ARV treatment of HIV-1 infected children will reduce their susceptibility to HHV-8 infection. The second is to determine whether ARV treatment of HIV-1 and HHV-8 dually infected children will enhance their immune response against HHV-8 and reduce viral reactivation. We anticipate that the data generated through the proposed effort will be useful in the development of future intervention strategies to prevent HHV-8 transmission.
