THE BEST OF NICKELBACK VOLUME 1 Set for 11/19 Release
Multi-platinum rock band Nickelback announced today that they will be releasing THE BEST OF NICKELBACK VOLUME 1 on November 19, via Roadrunner Records, a Warner Music Group label. Encapsulating an astonishing career to date, THE BEST OF NICKELBACK VOLUME 1 features 19 tracks, over 73 minutes of music, including the smash hits "Photograph," "How You Remind Me," "Rockstar," "Burn It To the Ground," "Far Away" and many more.
Nickelback is one the biggest rock bands in the world with a proven track record that certainly speaks to the group's stature. The group has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and, since the 2001 breakthrough of "How You Remind Me," has sent more than 18 singles rocketing onto the various Billboard charts, expanding its solid foothold in rock markets to the Top 40 world.
The band's now-classic All The Right Reasons ensured Nickelback an indelible place in rock history, spending a staggering 112 consecutive weeks in the Top 30 of the Billboard Top 200, certified 8-times platinum in the U.S. and having sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, topping charts in four countries. All The Right Reasons spun off seven multi-format singles and made Nickelback the first band in Nielsen BDS history to send five singles onto the CHR charts. All five of the album's videos hit No. 1 on VH1's playlist, while Nickelback has sold more than 11 million single digital downloads and more than 5 million ringtones of the album's songs. All The Right Reasons won the American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Album and helped the quartet to three Billboard Music Awards in 2006 and a pair of Juno Awards in Canada. And on the road, Nickelback sold more than 1.65 million concert tickets over the course of the album cycle.

Mesa Clover Gallium3D Now Supports OpenCL ICD
Published on 21 October 2013 03:18 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
Last week
OpenGL 3.3 support landed in Mesa
and now to kick off the new week there's another important milestone for the open-source graphics project. The major milestone that just happened is the "Clover" Gallium3D state tracker for OpenCL/GPGPU support now can provide OpenCL ICD support.
The OpenCL ICD extension allows for "Installable Client Drivers" so that multiple OpenCL implementations can co-exist on the same system and be installed at the same time. In turn the OpenCL ICD loader library handles the responsibility of letting CL-using applications choose which platform/device they wish.
OpenCL ICD makes having multiple GPUs/drivers easier or also CPU-based OpenCL implementations. Driver packaging is also made simpler. The original Mesa OpenCL ICD support was
published this past summer
but only today the support has been committed to mainline Mesa ahead of the Mesa 10.0 release in November.
Adding the CL ICD extension support to Mesa happened with
this Git commit
and there were also other
other Clover Git commits too
for laying the groundwork to this new support.
More details on the current OpenCL Gallium3D/Mesa support can be found via the
Clover presentation from last month

Still no relief for Mitchell as police insist he has to go
Oliver Wright
Oliver Wright is Whitehall Editor of The Independent.
Friday 12 October 2012
Andrew Mitchell must either resign or David Cameron should sack him, Police Federation leaders said tonight after talks failed to resolve the row over his abuse of a Downing Street protection officer.
During the meeting Mr Mitchell refused to tell the union, which represents rank-and-file officers, what he had said during the confrontation last month. Doing so would only start another "firefight", he reportedly said.
But his refusal to admit that he had used the word "pleb" led the federation to demand Mr Mitchell's resignation. By continuing to deny using the term he was questioning the word of the officer involved, the union said.
Mr Mitchell was reported by police side to have been "tense" and "upset" when challenged as to whether Downing Street PC was lying.
Ken Mackaill, chairman of the West Mercia Police Federation, said the Chief Whip had "refused to tell us what he did say" because he did not want to "impugn the integrity" of the police officer and start what Mr Mitchell described as a "firefight".
He added: "But unfortunately that's exactly what's happened.
"We reached an impasse on the integrity issue. Andrew Mitchell's position is untenable. If he won't resign, I don't think Mr Cameron has an option."
The meeting came as Labour stepped up its attacks on Mr Mitchell.
Yvette Cooper, shadow home secretary, said the time had passed for clarifications and apologies. Labour has previously raised questions over Mr Mitchell's ability to stay in his post, which he gained in last month's reshuffle, but have stopped short of calling for his resignation or for Mr Cameron to sack him.
Some suggested their intervention now was actually an attempt to push Mr Cameron into backing him – knowing that if he stays in post he will find it hard to impose party discipline among already truculent backbench Tory MPs.
Some senior Cabinet members have suggested that Mr Mitchell's position is untenable because of his role in imposing party discipline. But he is said to be "clinging on" in the hope that the row fades.
Ms Cooper said: "This has gone on long enough. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Chief Whip have proved capable of coming clean swiftly and putting this right. David Cameron needs to put an end to this now and remove Andrew Mitchell from his position."
Mr Cameron has called for a line to be drawn under the affair following Mr Mitchell's earlier apologies. Senior police figures have also suggested it was time to move on.
But rank-and-file officers remain angry that Mr Mitchell continues to dispute the language the officers reported that he used, most controversially calling them "plebs".
Last month, police officers wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan "PC Pleb and Proud" protested outside Mr Mitchell's constituency office demanding a full inquiry.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said Mr Mitchell had to "explain himself" to the Police Federation.
He sidestepped questions on BBC Radio 5 Live about whether he gave Mr Mitchell his full backing, but said: "I hear he's talking to the Police Federation today where I have no doubt he and the Police Federation will want to, I hope, clear the air, draw a line under it." Mr Clegg said he had "no idea" what was said between Mr Mitchell and the officer on the gate.
"There seems to be competing claims about what was and wasn't said. What I do know just from hearing about it is it was really wrong to be rude to a police officer literally just standing there in Downing Street doing his job. I think what he did was wrong, really wrong. He's got to explain himself to the Police Federation, as he is today."
Resign or be sacked, demand police
Its website boasts that it can "release" your "stress and tension and increase your energy levels", and it is "a wonderful place to relax and unwind".
So perhaps it was appropriate that the beleaguered Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell chose to open The Holistic Practice in his Sutton Coldfield constituency today, before his ill-fated showdown with representatives of the Police Federation.
Mr Mitchell may want to return after the encounter.

This week many Jews of varied backgrounds and denominations will partake of the
Passover seder, the one evening when all Jews, regardless of their affiliation,
reflect upon their ancestor's enslavement in Egypt, engage in discourse and
inevitably ponder the same conundrum: what is freedom? There are probably many
answers to this question considering the different factions that span the Jewish
world, but I had an experience recently which I believe helps provide one
universal answer which to some extent may satisfy all of us, or at the very
least provide us with a point of reference.My son Yakov is a 17-year-old
eleventh-grader who attends a yeshiva high school in Jerusalem. He is a good boy
who bears the same burdens and challenges that any free-spirited teenager does
today. About two weeks ago I got a call from him in the middle of the day while
I was at my yeshiva teaching.All of his friends were going that evening
to see a musical show, one in which one of his young lady friends was part of
the cast, and he wanted to know if he could join them. He had already called my
wife to ask her, and she diplomatically and sensibly instructed him to ask his
father, confirming King Solomon's proverb, "the wise women build their
home."I in turn told Yakov that I was surprised by his question; after
all, our family is Orthodox and according to the halacha there is a ruling of
"kol isha," which literally means "woman's voice" and practically represents a
rabbinic directive outlined in the Talmud which prohibits men from listening to
women singing live, and so I explained to my son that his attending the show was
indeed problematic.Yakov responded by questioning the relevance of a
ruling which was established hundreds of years ago and searching for some
leniency. I explained that we are not allowed to dismiss rabbinic decrees even
if they were established centuries ago, and that our subscription to the
rabbinic authorities and their directives is tantamount to the foundations of
our faith.However, my son was persistent and he suggested that if he
could find a rabbi in his yeshiva high school who would permit him to go, then I
should give him my consent. I agreed wholeheartedly (admittedly knowing that he
would not be successful in this endeavor but at the same time admiring his
diligence). Ten minutes later Yakov called me to confirm what I had
already known; there were no rabbis in the yeshiva who would say that it was
permissible for him to attend. It seemed for the moment like the conversation
was over, but it was far from over.At this point my wife called me
(incidentally, all this was going on while I was trying to teach my students in
the yeshiva and, while I was not successful in delivering the material at hand,
I was providing them with a play-by-play; I convinced myself that they were
learning more from this dialogue than from anything I could have taught them
formally from the text), informing me that she had just received a text message
from Yakov which read, "I hate Abba's laws."I now struggled with an
inner conflict. On the one hand I thought perhaps I should tell my son
that he could go, if only to extinguish his momentary aversion toward Jewish
law. I would permit this one infraction for the sake of preserving long-term
devotion. Yet, I thought, how could I possibly permit something which is clearly
forbidden simply because my son is frustrated? Were we to dismiss rabbinic
prohibitions out of frustration then there is no end to the amount of times our
personal convenience would come before our steadfast compliance to the laws of
the Torah; this was a message which I certainly did not want to impart to my
young and impressionable child and so I left things as they were and resolved to
confront the issue upon my return home. Little did I know that it would be
resolved beforehand.As I was traveling home my son called and in a
somber tone asked, "abba, if I go to the show, will you be angry at me?" I
assured Yakov that I would not be angry, but rather
disappointed. Suddenly my strong, strapping son broke down
crying."Abba", he said, "I don't know what to do. All of my friends are
going to the show and I am the only one who would not be going, but I don't want
you to be disappointed in me."I found myself reminiscing over the song
which is sung during the recital of the Haggadah on Passover entitled "Dayeinu,"
it is sufficient. Were I only granted one moment to hear my 17-year-old
son cry on the phone and express his deep desire not to disappoint his father,
dayeinu!I realized that it no longer mattered how this conversation would end
or what my son decided to do, I had come to the realization that I was blessed
not only to have a child who was deeply concerned with doing the right thing,
but even more importantly I realized that I maintained an open and honest
relationship with my son.I encouraged Yakov to be strong and assured him
that if he would overcome and follow the halacha, in the end he will look back
and take pride that he had done the right thing.My mother, who was with
Yakov and overheard the course of our conversation, called me to tell me that
she had never witnessed such respect and consideration from a child to a parent
and how impressed she was to see that my son was sincerely concerned with
understanding and considering his father's opinion. Yakov told me that he would
go to the theater, assess the situation from there, and then he would call me
once he had arrived. He never called.The next morning as my son readied
himself to leave for school I came over to him and to his dismay gave him a hug
and expressed how proud I was of him. He looked puzzled, so I explained: "You
did the wrong thing, but you behaved the right way."When it appeared
that he still did not understand I told him to go to school and think about what
I had said. That same evening I came home late and to my dismay, my son came
over, gave me a hug and explained: "Abba, this morning when you hugged me I did
not react properly so I wanted to tell you that I love you."I asked him
if he understood what I told him in the morning and if he wanted to discuss it
and he assured me that there was no need to discuss what he had done
wrong.Passover reminds us that we do need to discuss, particularly with
our children, hence the Hebrew title for the holiday, "Pesach" – peh (mouth)
sach (talks). Pesach demonstrates that in Judaism there is no generation gap as
we engage in sincere dialogue. Pesach substantiates that a parent must
impart, a child must ask, and most importantly, both parties must listen. This
is the only way that the past remains relevant and the future remains
propitious.A few days later I called my son's rabbi from school to tell
him about the latest encounter with my son. He informed me that he was aware of
Yakov's desire to attend the show and he had asked Yakov if he had
gone. Yakov told him that he did go to the show but that I was still
proud of him."I'm not sure why my abba is proud of me, but I know he is
because he keeps telling this story to people!" On Pesach we are required to
tell a story to as many people as possible, particularly to those closest to us,
those who link us to the past and who will perpetuate our future. This is
how we experience freedom. This Pesach, when I sit around the seder table
and my children turn to me and ask, "abba, what is freedom," I will first glance
at my son Yakov and then I will respond, "it's hard for me to explain, but let
me tell you a little story about your brother...."The writer teaches at
Yeshiva Hesder Kiryat Gat.

Cops 101: NYC High School Teaches How To Behave During Stop-and-Frisk
Re:I agree with stop & frisk... (474 comments)
...mainly because the US African American community has major cultural issues with broken families and an habitual acceptance of criminality that not enough of them are trying to fix internally. HOWEVER:...
It doesn't really matter what comes after "however". You've pretty much stated your case with "I am for unconstitutional searches of black people because I believe that they are inherently criminals."

I have noticed a number of enquiries regarding Etosha national park in Namibia. I have been twice to Etosha, staying a total of 5 weeks in the Park. Three of these weeks I stayed at the Okaukuejo rest camp. First I must say I loved the park, as there are large numbers of game animals, and during the dry season, the lack of foliage and undergrowth is ideal for photography. But Etosha has a significant restriction in that there is no off road driving allowed, which means photographically you can't get into an ideal position if the predators are hunting. In my opinion, the best place to stay is the Okaukuejo, which has a water hole that is illuminated at night. I have provided an illustrated article on Etosha and some of my favorite waterholes, at http://www.artphototravel.net/africa/etosha/ which includes maps and images to provide background and help with planning.

The fact that no off road driving is allowed is a blessing not a restriction. The rule is there for very good reasons. Which national parks allow off road driving?

DH and I stayed at Halali and Okaukuejo ,and visited Namutoni on day trips. Okaukuejo is where it's at. The waterhole is amazing. I think we ended up staying four nights there and 2 or 3 at Halali. We were glad we went to Halali too, but Okaukuejo is amazing. Multiple herds of elephants congregated on the waterhole at the same time -- too many to count -- and you could watch them drinking and dust-bathing as the sun went down. Priceless.
We drove a lot of the park over the week we were there, and saw a couple of other great sightings, but nothing as incredible as what we saw from the waterhole at Okaukuejo. A pride of lions hunting giraffes, in the dark! Amazing.

BEIJING, Jan. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Valley International Investment Management Company, Ltd. (GVI) a Hong Kong registered corporation, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement during the last quarter of 2012 with Dais Analytic Corporation (Dais) of Tampa, Florida, USA (OTC.BB: DLYT - News).
"The China market for clean water and energy efficient products is large yet in our analysis of these large markets successful solutions to our needs require newer technologies offering the end-user: government, commercial and consumers, a greater value proposition. After our due diligence we view Dais's technology and plans as having a clear path to achieve not only the higher value proposition but the ability to set a new standard of performance for water and energy products and services" said Mr. Fuying Yu, Chairman of GVI.
GVI is buying 70 million shares of Dais's Common Stock, and Warrants to purchase 17,500,000 shares of Common Stock for $7M. On funding completion Dais plans to establish a wholly owned Chinese subsidiary (DLYTC) from which it will begin selling its nanotechnology based products, based on the Company's Aqualyte family of Nano-materials and process into the China market.
GVI will work with Dais Analytic Corporation (OTC.BB: DLYT - News) to assist in commercializing uses of its innovative Aqualyte™ family of nano-structured materials and processes. Primary focus is on evolutionary or disruptive air, energy and cleans water applications. These novel applications are made possible by manipulating the nanomaterial's properties – using known scientific disciplines such as physics, thermal dynamic and chemistry – to accomplish the work being done today in products using by energy hungry, emissions emitting pumps, and motors.
The first product to begin commercialization in early 2013 is Dais's award winning high efficiency energy recovery ventilator (ERV), ConsERV®. ConsERV, with no moving parts, uses nanotechnology to pre-treat incoming AC system ventilation air with the energy found in AC system's exhaust air. This process quickly lowers C02 emissions, allows the use of smaller AC systems, saves energy costs by an average of 27%, and lowers peak energy use by up to 20%.
Simultaneously GVI and the Dais China subsidiary plan to begin limited deployment in 2013 of a non-Reverse Osmosis method of treating most all forms of contaminated water. This process is called NanoClear®.
"We are nearing completion of a 300Kg NanoClear test unit. A 2.5 ton 'scale-able' NanoClear module will be functional by April." said Mr. Lei Zhang, the GM of Academy of Environmental Engineering Company, "The NanoClear system will the first to be deployed in highly polluted industrial waste water situations which have no affordable commercial solution at this time. It is our plan to integrate NanoClear into a installed 2,000 ton project commissioned two years ago. The output water is up to 1,000 times cleaner than today's products are capable of producing at projected similar lifecycle costs. This will be the first large scale field test of the US Company's NanoClear process providing China this much sought-after solution".
Other key applications planned include:
- NanoAir™, a water-based, no fluorocarbon producing refrigerant cooling cycle useful to replace the existing gas based compression cooling cycle in most all forms of air-conditioning and refrigeration saving a projected 50% in energy and CO2;
- NanoCap™, which holds promise to use the Aqualyte™ materials "family" to form a disruptive non-chemical energy-storage device (an ultra capacitor) when completed for use in transportation, renewable energy, and 'smart grid' configurations.
Tim Tangredi, CEO of Dais Analytic Corporation, said, "The $7.0 million in growth capital combined with the market place experience provided by the GVI team in the China market is an exciting opportunity for Dais to expand our international platform. We look to partner with others in China in existing sales and distribution channels using our technology to address challenges facing traditional products - notably cleaning contaminated water."
About Green Valley International Investment Management Company, Ltd.
GVI, incorporated in Hong Kong, is focusing on assisting sustainability companies (such as Dais) possessing proven disruptive technologies to commercialize product in key China markets to improve the quality of the air and water in China while containing or saving operational costs.

Answer from: Paoser
You can use any player to unlock the alien. A flying UFO looking object will come in randomly in the finals of the tournament. It rarely happens and when it happens, it flys around for 10 seconds. To get the alien, you have to kick the ball and hit the UFO then it will crash. Once the UFO has crashed, you will fight the alien as your opponent. If you win the UFO, you will win the tournament and unlock the alien.
Answer from: super fans
Beat an UFO and beat the aliens in the tournament final to unlock the alien.

Seahawks sign veteran kicker Jeff Reed
Kicker Jeff Reed was signed Wednesday by the Seahawks, bringing in a veteran to compete with Brandon Coutu for the job that opened when Olindo Mare left for Carolina.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Kicker Jeff Reed was signed Wednesday by the Seahawks, bringing in a veteran to compete with Brandon Coutu for the job that opened when Olindo Mare left for Carolina. Mare accepted a $4 million signing bonus from the Panthers.
Reed is entering his 10th season in the NFL. He played for Pittsburgh from 2002 to 2010 before being cut after nine games last season. He played the final five games of the season with the San Francisco 49ers.
Reed, 32, scored 919 career points with the Steelers, second-most in team history, but was released after missing seven of 22 field-goal attempts for them last year.
To make room for Reed, Seattle waived Wes Byrum, an undrafted rookie kicker from Auburn.
In other roster moves, Seattle signed running back Chase Reynolds, an undrafted rookie from Montana, and Michael Johnson, an inside linebacker who played for Kansas City last season and also spent time on the Seahawks' practice squad.
Seattle released four undrafted rookies: defensive tackle Ladi Ajiboye, guard Michael Huey, quarterback Zac Lee and linebacker Blake Sorensen.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota's winter season delivered plenty of snow, but it also brought frigid temperatures that kept skiers and snowboarders from enjoying all the powder.
A Minneapolis Star Tribune report (http://strib.mn/1gDhRSA ) says outdoors officials initially thought 2014 was shaping up to be a record-setting year. Instead they say it's been disappointingly average.
Luci Botzek of the Minnesota Ski Areas Association says this year's cold was unusually long and severe. She says that became a burden on ski areas.
Resorts including Lutsen Mountains and Spirit Mountain say revenues were down about 20 percent on bitter-cold days.
Resorts in the Midwest have the advantage of being easily accessible to school-aged kids. Botzek says while snow days at school usually mean plenty of business on the slopes, this season's snow days were uncomfortably cold.

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12, NIV)
Privacy is also a concern. We might not want people to know all about us.
Even without an official ID or driver's license, there are many indicators, along with our "outward" actions, that tell others about us.
The delivery man wearing brown, we assume, works for UPS.
Uniforms with stripes or neon orange jumpsuits on roadsides have us thinking unsavory thoughts about the "wearers", even though we've probably never met any of those folks picking up the trash.
At the gym, colored balls signify aging and even the color of one's hand weights SHOUTS to all in sight of one's fitness level, or lack there of.
On an airplane, I find comfort when my seat is across from one wearing a cleric color.
Identity is more than our name or initials. It's even more than our "job" uniforms or badges. It's even more than our likes and dislikes, by which others often define us.....for me, that would be berries on bushes, books, pockets in jammies, tea and the Lord. But, does having Bibles sitting around and a cross around one's neck tell the true identity.
One's ID is not just worn or collected, it's lived out! Anyone can slip a cross around their neck and yet their actions belie this symbol.
The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)True identity is found in the One who gave us the right to be called children of God. Aren't we glad He knows our identity!
Actually, He's the one Who served us our very own cuppa identi-TEA.

Greatest Paintings of All Time (in-progress)
Awesome, thanks, yes I dig Velazquez. I've viewed most (maybe all) of his major works, but definitely need to evaluate them more thoroughly as you seem to have done. He is one of my higher priorities on my "to do" list, including the ones you mention here. I am confident he has at least a few works I'd rate highly.
Greatest Paintings of All Time (in-progress)
Have you looked at Velazquez? An incredible storyteller... Las Meninas, in which he paints of the infanta's visit to his studio, and The Surrender of Breda, which details the victorious Spinola, are the highest flights of painting. The former is especially, I think, one of those happy convergences where the work's acclaim is proportionate to it's greatness. Bacon said "If you can say it, why paint it?" and I think Velazquez shows how different the narrative possibility of painting is compared to literature.
My Music Lists
This is such a perceptive comment! I completely agree with your interpretation of Otello. In my opinion, to find equals (in opera) to the likes of Aida, Otello and Falstaff one needs to look to the Da Ponte collaborations, although Mozart may in fact surpass Verdi. (Admittedly, I'm no Wagnerite, though I love Tristan & Isolde). I hope you find a chance to dig into more Verdi soon!
Best Kanye West songs
This dude has so many awesome songs.
How would you rank his albums?
My Music Lists
Regrettably I've only gotten around to Verdi's Otello. But what a work it is! The opening is incredibly intense. I'm amazed at how wildly his music can change direction within a single instant and still maintain its utmost musical coherence and logic. The nature of this music reflects what I imagine to be a very stormy personality - one that is quick to admire or despise; trust and mistrust; to be capable of showing the gentlest human affection one moment and going into a frenzied rage the next. Whatever the state of being Verdi is in, there is always a deep burning passion in his soul. Unlike Wagner, he is very Human. He is very much of this world. Yet, not unlike Da Vinci, there is something immortal about his art; something divine. At every point in his music, you feel that you're in the hands of a higher power. Listening to his music, it is surprising to me how much Wagner and others of his time underestimated Verdi, who was clearly Wagner's equal. At least Brahms recognized Verdi's stature when he referred to Verdi's Requiem as "a work of genius".
My Favorite Films
Yeah, I've been laying low lately around here. I just haven't had much to say I guess. Yeah, I've seen some of your updates. In The Aeroplane... is now above Trout Mask Replica!?! Holy shmoligans!!! I admire your audacity and courage.
I'll probably input suggestions for music on your lists in the near future. I'm too exhausted at the moment.
My Favorite Films
Re Lynch: I have some mixed feelings about Lynch. While I'm fascinated by his very imaginative filming style, I have often found his plots to be somewhat incomprehensible. If that makes me some hopeless pleb that needs to be spoon-fed a conventional, linear plot then so be it! Despite this, I've always found Mulholland Dr. to be very entertaining. My favorite scene is where that big guy knocks that chick's lights out! Hilarious!! Lost Highway was added to my list if mainly for it's phenomenal filming style. Once I gain a better understanding of his art, I will most definitely add more of his films to my list.
Re Welles: You may not have noticed but I haven't really gotten into older films yet. But I will! And films by Welles will probably be first to be added (Hitchcock too!).
Re Punch-Drunk Love: Sounds like a good movie. It's got some of my favorite actors in it. I'll check it out some day.

Greatest Albums of All Time (Rock & Jazz)
In certain respects -- inside the walls of noise, where it's basic structures lie -- MBV's Loveless semi-qualifies as "dance-pop" (though it's a little bit of a stretch of course).
Greatest Albums of All Time (Rock & Jazz)
I really like both of those albums, but actually haven't listened to them since before my (so-called) "Scaruffist" days. At the time I was a bigger fan of "Second Toughest..." but according to Scaruffi's ratings, I may like "Dubno..." more if I returned to it. Maybe even a 9? I'll have to check it out again at some point.
Jazz Masterpieces
Right now I'll go with Ellington's Money Jungle, Dizzy Gillespie at Newport, Mingus 5x, Solo Monk (1964), and Sonny Rollins' G-Man. What about yours?

Only two players remain above 1 film per day, with none over 2 films per day. The greatest move was by LukeRobot who, with 47 films, leaped from 14th to 9th place. Ultimo Lee made a massive play toward reaching the 1 film/day rank with 63 films and only 5 films shy of the mark. This time there are no ties. Keep up the good viewing!

Child Stars Gone Bad List
The list of child stars who have gone bad. Most of us have looked up to child stars on TV until we learn of their real lives. It's almost as if we grow up with them only to become disappointed in what we see.
Sometimes the entire cast from a show can turn bad. That is the case with "Diff'rent Strokes." Dana Plato, Todd Bridges, and Gary Coleman lived separate lives, yet they all got into trouble.
Plato posed for Playboy and porn, was busted for armed robbery and forging a Valium prescription, and eventually died from a drug overdose. Bridges avoided Mr. T and Nancy Reagan's warnings and found himself doing drugs for many years. Coleman was charged with assault for punching a woman while working as a mall security guard, videotaped behaving badly, cited for disorderly conduct for hitting a pedestrian with his truck.
Here's a list of other child stars who have gone bad:
– Lindsay Lohan
– Dustin Diamond
– Jessica Biel
– Danny Bonaduce
– Jodie Sweetin
– Haley Joel Osment
– Vanessa Hudgens
– Michael Phelps
The most shocking star was Michael Phelps. Although he wasn't a child, he was America's hero at the 2008 Olympics. People are not perfect, but most of the people on the list have cleaned up their lives from the bad.

The Hunger Games - Mockingjay: Part 1 (2014)
I'm still trying to find time for an alternative since I watched THG3.1 (= like 4 days ago) but it seems I constantly fail. So, let's deal with this one, maybe it removes the curse ...
I went too sleep during this. Literally (well ... getting my eyes closed). Twice. I have to admit I was tired. Still, last time, when watching "Interstellar" I was even more tired, and the movie was longer. No eye closing. So ... So, the last "The Hunger Games" episode is nothing more than something like a prequel for the last part, leaving the impression (probably resembling the truth) that this movie was split in two and made longer just to cash in more ( IMDb was saying something like: highest opening this year. so ... ). Should I tell anything about the subject ? I'm not sure it helps. There isn't any Hunger Games in this "Hunger Games". Which is actually good. Finally a different story. The action is focused on Katniss becoming the symbol of the rebellion. Ok, that's enough. More, in the movie.
There's a mistery for me on how I got to see all the three parts by now. The first was so & so. The second left me the impression of a mediocre reboot. And the third is something like a teen movie meets a political thriller meets a dystopian sci-fi. Which might end up in an interesting combination if it wouldn't be below average on each of the three genres. And to put the cherry on top, as much as I was convinced by Jennifer Lawrence's acting skills in "Silver Linings Playbook" (getting over the subjective side, seriously :P) as much, after this "Hunger Games", seems to me that she should win the next year Golden Raspberry.
Rating: 3 out of 5 (= due to the fact I was close to snoring at some points, and maybe there was the best essential part of the movie which I unforgivably missed, who knows)

7 .. Interstellar .. 2014
When I heard for the first time about Interstellar", and that a guy named Kip Thorne (just Google if doesn't ring a bell) is a consultant for the script, I said "that's it" - Nolan can reach a higher peak than what he got with "The Prestige" and "Inception". After seeing the trailers my enthusiasm dropped dramatically, reaching a bottom of "Armageddon meets Gravity" in terms of expectations. After watching the movie I have to admit how wrong I was, and to acknowledge that there still are trailers that don't tell everything :)
There are 7 years since I started this blog, originally only in Romanian, and with each anniversary I'm trying to find an entry that does worth every second spent watching. In the last couple of years I started having problems with this. Either I don't have time to search, or the movies quality is constantly dropping compared to the number of releases. "Interstellar" is neither "Armageddon", nor "Gravity". It's simply in a different league compared to the 1st, and it's many levels above the 2nd. So you could say that I got a subject for this year. And still, I don't see it on top of "The Prestige" or "Inception". But neither much lower :)
I'll respect the amount of info given by the trailers, and I won't tell much besides what you get in these. After the terrestrial ecosystem starts collapsing, NASA, semi-anonymous organization in an of-the-future budget restricted US, sends a mission with the task to find another life supporting planet. And since we don't have anything like this in the galaxy, the trip is interstellar. The crew sent to find green grass and sparkling water is not coming back, and NASA has to send somebody else to check out if first team's sent signals are a real hope for the salvation of the human race. Karma ( and we could start here a philosophical debate about what karma means ;) or to be closer to the definition I prefer: "the kismet" ) is choosing as the "unlucky" pilot for the "recovery" mission a former engineer. The guy has two kids, lost his wife, and in the context of the global famine was forced to give up his "space, the final frontier" dream for farming corn. What's next .. would be simple to describe, but hard to explain :) so maybe it's best to get a personal view over the movie by watching it. What can I say it's that either you can consider what you see on screen as a disaster movie a la "Gravity"/"Armageddon" in which you can start searching for plot holes, or to view it as an imagination exercise for still unexplained theories with plenty of consequent "what if ?"s, to which you can hope there exists somewhere a response path ending optimistically. And if this is something you can hope for, to find that path (if it is there) should be something certain. The kismet is after all just your choice ;)
Production related, I guess that "Interstellar" is the most Spielbergish film that Nolan made. I don't think I have to say more. Oh .. yes. Once again, we have the proof that it's possible to have superb cinematography without 3D ;) I'm waiting a nomination for that. If it's not coming I think I'll boycott that section in next year's Oscars.
I wrote about "Interstellar", but not much about 7 - the full age of this blog .. or 2014. Well, it's already a good thing, considering that in 2014 there were many weeks when I didn't write about anything. I've honestly considered a final blog shutdown for today, meaning yesterday, because as it can be seen I wasn't able to finish the entry the day I wanted ( I have my cheap Blogspot trick to make it look like that for the Romanian version, but that's still a cheap trick :) ). I was thinking that 7 years were enough. Enough to not have the effect it did by motivating me to see at least one movie per week, enough to get to a phase where I tend to repeat myself quite often in what I write, enough to realize that I'm fooling myself with the perspective of someday finding time to "jump to the next level" = making this blog financially productive. Besides that, 2014 was a pretty tough year for reasons I don't want to discuss here ( and 2014 is not over yet ... ). Sufficiently tough to cut even my mood for watching a movie to allow my mind to run free for two hours. I've been trying to recover a bit the missing entries in the last couple months, but it's a forced recovery, and again in the end is just a number to fool myself that I'm back to the usual frequency. So, should I say stop then ? ...
Building suspense :) ... Well, I don't like giving up. I'm tired enough to accept a compromise, but I hope I won't be ever tired enough to give up completely. I just didn't think yet on what kind of compromise to do. No time. Maybe I'll start again taking periodical "vacations" (hopefully not a permanent one), maybe something else. Anyway, I would like that the final entry on this blog to be a 5 rated one :P. And in case of "Interstellar" ...
Rating: 4 out of 5 ;)

Godzilla (2014)
The previous "Godzilla", Roland Emmerich's '98 "masterpiece", had only one positive aspect I guess = "Come with Me" - Puff Daddy feat. Jimmy Page. Well, at least according to some opinions (mostly Puff Daddy fans) .. although, the same tune was a blasphemy, according to other opinios (mostly Led Zeppelin fans), .. so in the end probably there wasn't any positive aspect about that movie. Therefore, I didn't add "Godzilla" v.2014 to the list of movies to catch in cinema, considering that a disaster remake can't be far from mediocre. There was a minor error in my reasoning, "Godzilla" v.2014 is not a remake (like "Godzilla" v.1998 probably wasn't a remake either). This doesn't mean that we have a complex subject worthy of a Nobel literature award, reason for this long intro actually = to avoid spoiling the whole movie in five lines ;) Still, to give the promised explanations ... In this new version, Godzilla is not the only over dimensioned roaring creature. And the quotes for "friends" means that the Miss Dinosaur competition gets pretty rough between contestants. For details on their challenges, like the opinion on the safety of Earths disadvantaged species (=the humans) check out the movie ;)
The acting is flat = the star is really Godzilla. The effects are ok. The sound is good. Besides these, the above variation from the classic standard disaster (=something really big bad and terrible is happening, and we have to save the day) gives some freshness. And still, for a giant monsters story .. there's still work to do to get to the "Pacific Rim" level.

John Wick (2014)
It rains. John Wick, badly beaten, crawls near a wall. Flaaaaashback - well, we actually figure that's a flashback way later. What matters is that it rains. Again. John Wick is burying his wife. Rains harder. A dark mysteriously silhouette shows up under an umbrella. The suspense kills us. For 2 seconds. That's how much time we need to find out that the mysteriously guy has the same job as John Wick (contract killer, if you've seen the trailer should be quite clear), and what he wants is just to present his condolences. John Wick leaves for home. The postman rings. Puppy delivery. A remembrance gift from his former dying wife. Tears (yeah, I know, I have a horrible cold heart). Sleep. John Wick leaves to do some car rounds and to fill the tank. Bad karma. At exactly the same the gas station are three bad guys who want the car (they're Russians .. obviously). John Wick doesn't sell. Not good. The Russians really want the car. And they come for it. But they don't find the path directly to the garage. So they first pass through the living room and beat the hell out of John Wick. They also kill his dog. Big mistake: they don't kill John Wick (unbelievable how many bad guys do this mistake in this movie, it really would've shorten its length). Well, we find out that one of the Russians is the gang leader's son. We also find out that John Wick worked for that gang. And we also find out that John Wick gets very upset if you kill his dog and steal his car ...
We find a lot of other stuff throughout the movie. Like .. the bad Russians never attack simultaneously (except the start beating) in groups bigger than 2 (doesn't matter if they are 14 at one place). Like .. the professional assassins are called by phone to be executed and willingly show up. Like .. the final showdown must happen during a thunderstorm followed by heavy rain. We also find out that the IMDb are sometimes really hard to explain. I also found out that I was unfair with "The Equalizer" = John Wick could get some lessons from daddy Denzel. And we also find out that probably we shouldn't give much credit to a couple former stunt men directing their first movie, based on a script written by a B movies author (and not even many of those). Not much credit, and probably not much time either. So...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
I've seen when this was released plenty opinions on being the worst Spiderman movie to date. Also, there are plenty opinions saying that the tandem Alex Kurtzman/Roberto Orci is a real plague among the Hollywood screenwriters = after "destroying" Star Trek now the started doing it with other franchises, as the current one. I can agree with their scripts "quality" for "Transformers" without any doubt, but leaving that aside, things are far from being so bad. Yes, the script is superficial, has holes, there are 12 minute YouTube videos mocking smth like 100 scenes in the movie, it's in a word "Hollywoodish" with a big H, but ... it has a story, it's catchy, the jokes are becoming more natural + it has that something that you want from a two hours+ movie when all you need is to let your brain "fly away". I know, I'm repeating myself :) I said that before, but honestly I'm glad that I see movies giving me the opportunity to do it.
I didn't watch it in 3D, and I think it's one of the few cases when I regret it. The effects are superb even in 2D. But what's top notch in this movie is the sound & music area. Hans Zimmer's score boosted again my hopes after "Lone Ranger" that the guy is not yet left without ideas. Thing that happens at some point for most of the composers. Besides that we also have the sound editing & mixing. If this movie doesn't get an Oscar nod for this next year it means that my ears start failing ( or that the year is not over yet and something better will show up :) ).
I've skipped the story. I'll keep it spoiler free this time. And not necessarily because the story is simple. Some actually say that this movie has too many secondary threads, and too many villains. It's perfect, it doesn't get boring. And most important, it's fun ;) despite not ending the romance in a very happy note (well .. I couldn't keep it :P)

RM CEO resigns after operational review
(Reuters) - RM Plc said on Tuesday its chief executive resigned after the educational services provider carried out an operational review amid declining education budgets in the United Kingdom.
The company said CEO Terry Sweeney resigned with immediate effect and plans to pursue other opportunities.
RM, which was reviewing its operations in the tough economic climate, had last month said it would restructure its board and dispose off its loss-making businesses.
Earlier this week, the company reached an agreement to dispose its trade and assets relating to the former Computrac business in the Unites States to Troxell Communications Inc.
On September 29, RM forecast that the restructuring would reduce headcount by about 23 percent and cut annual cost in excess of 20 million pounds.
Recent reductions in UK public sector expenditure and the termination of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme have taken a toll on the company's performance.
RM, which derives more than two-thirds of its revenue from the learning technologies division, expects a 40 percent reduction in IT spend by both primary and secondary schools because of public sector cutbacks.
RM shares, which have shed 42 percent of their value since the company forecast full-year operating results below analyst estimates in September, opened up more than 3 percent at 44.50 pence on Tuesday on the London Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Juhi Arora in Bangalore; Editing by Joyjeet Das)
