re: On Emma Watson And The Shitheads Threatening Her With The Fappening (150 comments)
ugh I might as well post about gamergate while I am at it, though I think the whole thing is idiocy.
The Gamergate shitstorm has only been around for about a month, that bomb threat is from 6 months ago. Gamergate threads are being automatically deleted on 4chan for a week now, ostensibly because of potential raiding or doxxing which are bannable offenses on 4chan but the more likely reason is that shift management I mentioned in my last post. Gamergaters have moved ground to another anon board called 8chan.
Here is a video on the whole shitstorm that doesn't pick a side on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KigYWxQtnGg
re: On Emma Watson And The Shitheads Threatening Her With The Fappening (150 comments)
Fish, some guy is probably trolling the media and there aren't any actual nudes of emma watson out there. She wasn't on the master list when this whole thing began and every celeb who has had nudes leaked has been on that master list.
Also, "4chan" didn't hack these celebs. The most likely scenario is that a disparate group of people have been using phishing and hacking techniques to aquire these photos over a long period of time (think ten years or longer) over all kinds of platforms, not just iCloud, and use them as a form of currency to trade amongst each other on the deepweb to build up their collections. What started the fappening is one or more of these guys decided to begin releasing sets from his or their collection/s for money, via donations with bitcoins by making posts on anom message boards under terms like "send me $$$ and you get the full set". I think the primary message board where these photos are getting released is one called "anonib", but after they are relased they get posted all over the place and rars/zips are uploaded. After the photos are released on "anonib" they are then posted and discussed on 4chan, which is the biggest anon board out there, with something like 7 million visitors a month, which is also the first place most people learn about the releases on the wider web, so that is why the news media is reporting these leaks as "from 4chan". Even so,and rather ironically, threads about the fappening are being deleted regularly on 4chan since the first major release because of copyright issues and an internal shift in managment that has been ongoing at 4chan the last few months.
re: Robin Williams Committed Suicide (1951 - 2014) (110 comments)
re: Uh, Guys, I Don't Think It Was The Russians (67 comments)
From what I've been reading about it, commercial airliners cruise at an altitude high enough to be out of range of most weapons except high grade military hardware (such as the high-altitude SAM battery used here) normally in the hands of nation-states, not paramilitary insurgency groups. And these weapons normally are used in conjuction with other high grade tech in a detection net able to differentiate and determine targets for it to fire upon. But, such as this case, a SAM battery can be used by itself without that detection net but it wont know exactly what it is shooting at.
The last three weeks Russia has been escalating the conflict in Eastern Ukraine after the Ukrainian government had made successful inroads into rebel territory. About a week ago, the US State Dept claimed it had evidence of Russia sending heavy ordnance into Ukraine: a few tanks, self-propelled artillery pieces, etc., in support of the rebels. The SAM battery might have been one; or it was captured by the rebels from the Ukrainian military. If it was captured, the Ukrainian rebels are mostly ex-military and the SAM is Soviet era tech so it's probable atleast one of them would know how to use it. But whoever is calling the shots didn't think it through about which planes cruise at what altitude and to be cautious about what they were firing at, and they certainly didn't have the needed infrastructure to determine if it was a military plane or not. They were basically firing blind, which is really reckless.
Russia's introduction of higher grade weapons (that can reach high altitudes) into Eastern Ukraine is new in the conflict and still only suspected -not confirmed- by the US gov. There hasn't been an international confirmation of it and as such there wasn't cause to change flight routes because commercial airliners are normally safe at high altitudes over warzones where asymmetric warfare is taking place. Eastern Ukraine wasn't the only warzone MA17 was flying over. And evern if it was a conventional warzone with a fully operation detection net, Russia or the rebels acting independently wouldn't knowingly allow a civilian plane to be attacked, if for nothing else than the inevitable international outcry that would follow. What they did was reckless and stupid and resulted in tragedy.
re: You Forgot Tatiana Maslany, You Idiots! (27 comments)
Downton Abbey is ok but it hasn't been award show worthy since its early seasons but it keeps getting nominated.
Mad Men and Breaking Bad are great but are getting an extra award season in because AMC decided to screw over fans and split their final seasons to milk money out of them is so cheap.
Unlike the first two seasons, AHS: Coven was a shitty mess this year and shouldn't be nominated.
Boardwalk Empire is completely ignored in all categories.
The Goldbergs for best comedy series is not nominated.
Hannibal for best drama, Mads Mikkelsen for best actor and Hugh Dancy for best supporting actor are not nominated.
The Americans Keri Russell for best actress in a drama series not nominated.

© 2013 Crossings at Carnegie
Friday, October 10, 2014
Doors open at 7:00 pm
Canada's Ottawa Valley meets Old-Time Appalachia: crack fiddling, electric step dancing, sweet singing. JUNO Award nominee April Verch and her band return to the U.S. for a performance at Crossings!
Verch and her band spent seven weeks touring overseas in mid- to late-summer, from Germany to England, Ireland and Sweden. They return to the U.S. in early October.
Verch has never sounded more comfortable in her skin than she does now, in the second decade of her career as an internationally touring fiddler, step dancer, singer, and songwriter. She's a woman who's fleshed out her identity and is in full command of her gifts, a woman who's grown from a prodigy into an enduring artist—one of music's most unforgiving public transitions—with grace and grit to spare.
The story of how Verch came to be a brilliant interpreter of tradition is just as striking as the results. She's of a generation far more likely to have spent its formative years taking in MTV than taking part in any sort of traditional music scene, and yet practically from birth she was immersed in folk music and dance from her native Ottawa Valley, a melting pot of Franco-Celtic flavors brought by the hard-working loggers who settled the area.
But Verch reaches across geographic idioms and pulls in sounds from the Appalachia mountains and the Deep South, as well. She's so fluent in folk traditions—the Canadian ones she was born into and the American ones she later found her way to—that old fiddle tunes like those featured in the Canadian medley "Dusty Miller," "Fiddle Fingers" and "Grizzly Bear" and the Appalachian medley "Edward in the Treetop," "Yellow Jacket" and "Quit That Ticking Me" sound positively reinvigorated. Originals like her instrumental waltz "Morris & Boris" and country courting number "The Only One" are clearly made to last.

Hello. I'm visiting Drake University w/my daughter in March. Any suggestions on where to stay and what places to eat/see in order for her to get a feel for the town? Thanks.
Visit to Des Moines

I see you posted this request nearly a month ago. I hope I am in time to help you. Drake is located north and west of downtown and the compact campus is bordered to the south by University Avenue, a main thoroughfare through the city. 41st Street / Beaver Avenue to the west and MLK to the east create the borders that make up the Drake neighborhood.
You might try the Holiday Inn Express near the campus if you intend to spend long days at Drake. Otherwise, one of the downtown hotels (I think Embassy Suites might be your best bet) will serve you well.
Des Moines, and particularly downtown, are going through a renaissance of sorts right now with more than $1 billion in investments in recent years. They include a new central library, an events center, a Science Center (museum), and the development of green space along the river in the downtown area. Hundreds of loft apartments have also been added downtown and together, all of this is bringing new life to an area that almost literally rolled up its sidewalks after 6 p.m. a few years ago.
You should plan a quick trip to the East Village, in the shadows of the state capitol building, for funky shopping and eateries plus some of the bars she won't tell you she is spending evenings visiting. Likewise, Court Avenue on the west side of the river will offer a variety of eateries and booze palaces.
Ingersoll Avenue is another hot area of town. Try the Star Bar for interesting tapas in a smoke-free environment in the early evening. Across the street, Stam offers terrific Dutch chocolate and gelatto.
I suppose you should (or could) drive out to Jordan Creek Mall in West Des Moines, our newish babylon of shopping. There, you will find all your outposts of retail giants (Barnes and Noble, William Sonoma, all your major clothing stores, etc. There's also a Cheesecake Factory and a P.F. Chang if you want your food in Des Moines to taste exactly like it does whereever you are coming from.
There's plenty to see here. In the spring and summer, the downtown farmers market is a great weekly event held each Saturday. You won't experience it in March, though. You might think about the Des Moines Art Festival in June, rated one of the best art festivals in the country. Similarly, if you like are be sure to visit our underappreciated Des Moines Art Center for a wonderful collect of works, including Edward Hoppers "Automat" and lots of other stuff I shold know but really don't.
We have a disproportionate number of Asian restaurants here. Iowa is the only state in the country with a government-funded Refugee Services Bureau. It was founded in the 1970s when Vietnamese who were friendly to U.S. troops were fleeing the country after the fall of Saigon. Iowans -- mostly church groups -- took thousands of Vietnamese in and their presence here is still very evident. Since then, we've also seen refreshing influx of Bosnians and Sudanese, as well as other immigrants and their culture is enriching us all. Thai Flavors, on the east side, is my favorite Asian restaurant in town. And for pure American, check out the Library Cafe -- a Drake campus joint -- for great sandwiches, wings, nachos, etc. Lots of other places I could mention. Check out my website to contact me or learn more:

Thank you for your recent post. I am leaving for Des Moines tomorrow.
I have reservations at the Holiday Inn Express near Drake recommended by the student I spoke to while setting up our visit. I'm not sure that's really the best place to go after looking at posts on Tripadvisor. Still, my main interest is getting a sense of what Des Moines offers.
At this moment, we will have Monday evening to just hang out. I'm looking for a good place to eat and a movie theater. We'll probably spend a good portion of the next day on campus.
Again, thank you.

Ahead on the 11/17/14 Maddow show
Tonight's guests:
- John Stanton, Buzzfeed DC bureau chief
- Aldo Seoane, member of Wica Agli Tribal Nations in South Dakota
Here's executive producer Cory Gnazzo with tonight's preview:
Monday's Mini-Report, 11.17.14
Today's edition of quick hits:
* ISIS: "Intelligence officials were on Sunday investigating a video purportedly posted online by ISIS that claims to show that captured U.S. aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig has been killed. The propaganda video, whose authenticity has not been verified by NBC News, features a masked militant with a British accent standing over a severed head."
* Obama called the murder "an act of pure evil": "President Obama on Sunday confirmed the death of the aid worker, Peter Kassig, a former Army Ranger who disappeared more than a year ago at a checkpoint in northeastern Syria while delivering medical supplies."
* Another Ebola tragedy: "By the time Martin Salia, a surgeon who died after contracting the Ebola virus while working in Sierra Leone, arrived in the U.S. he had "no kidney function and was unresponsive" said doctors scrambling - ultimately unsuccessfully to save his life at a Nebraska isolation facility equipped for treating Ebola patients."
* Ferguson: "Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon signed an executive order on Monday activating the state's National Guard to provide support for the 'unified command,' which consists of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, St. Louis County Police Department and St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. The statement released by the governor's office referenced an expected grand jury announcement as coming 'later this month.'"
* Nigeria: "The Nigerian government said it has driven Boko Haram out of Chibok, the town where the militants had kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in April. Boko Haram had returned to Chibok and seized it last Thursday along with several other towns. But just two days later Nigerian security forces flushed out the militants and restored control of the area, Presidential Spokesperson Reuben Abati told NBC News."
* Maybe he should have focused more on growth: "Japan's economy unexpectedly fell into recession in the third quarter, a painful slump that called into question efforts by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to pull the country out of nearly two decades of deflation."
* He'll need all the support he can get: "Senate Democratic leaders wrote a letter on Monday pledging strong support for President Barack Obama using his executive authority to temporarily shield some groups of undocumented immigrants from the threat of deportation."
* NFL: "The Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions were among the National Football League teams subjected to surprise inspections by Drug Enforcement Administration agents Sunday as part of a months-long federal investigation into the way NFL teams store, prescribe, track and distribute controlled substances."
When the Beltway media goes horribly awry
There's frequently a challenge associated with scrutinizing Ron Fournier's columns. On the one hand, his commentary is often emblematic of a misguided train of thought that warrants a serious rebuttal, lest others take his analysis seriously.
On the other hand, my fear is the political world's near-constant exasperation with the rigid ideologue becomes self-defeating -- people criticize Fournier's persistently disappointing work, which draws attention to Fournier's work, which leads to clicks and pageviews, which leads the editors and publishers at National Journal to think Fournier is doing a terrific job driving a spirited public conversation.
Indeed, though I can't be sure, I often wonder if the political columnist himself realizes at a certain level that that the more tedious his work is, the more attention he receives. It creates an unfortunate cycle: by highlighting Fournier's errors of fact and logic, we indirectly encourage Fournier to make more errors of fact and logic through a twisted system of incentives and rewards.
Having said all of that, let's grudgingly consider his latest column, "The Extraordinary Smallness of Washington," which includes what Matt Yglesias referred to as "the worst two paragraphs about American politics you'll read today."
On health care, we needed a market-driven plan that decreases the percentage of uninsured Americans without convoluting the U.S. health care system. Just such a plan sprang out of conservative think tanks and was tested by a GOP governor in Massachusetts, Mitt Romney.Instead of a bipartisan agreement to bring that plan to scale, we got more partisan warfare. The GOP resisted, Obama surrendered his mantle of bipartisanship, and Democrats muscled through a one-sided law that has never been popular with a majority of the public.
This is a classic of the genre. For Fournier, bipartisanship is always right, even when it's wrong, and both sides are always to blame, even when blaming both sides is incoherent given reality.
In the case of health care, Fournier believes the nation needed a plan patterned after Mitt Romney's Massachusetts model, springing from Heritage Foundation research. We know, of course, that Fournier is describing the Affordable Care Act almost exactly. In effect, Fournier is both endorsing "Obamacare," describing it as the kind of plan Americans needed, while simultaneously dismissing the same law and those who "muscled through" the legislation.
As Keystone vote looms, Obama sounds skeptical
With Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) facing a re-election runoff in Louisiana in a few weeks, Senate Democrats have apparently come up with a curious plan: they'll try to pass, at Landrieu's behest, her opponent's legislation to build the Keystone XL pipeline.
The legislation, championed by Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), passed the House on Friday, and Landrieu hopes to prove her efficacy as a lawmaker by pushing the bill through the Senate tomorrow. It's a dubious plan: Landrieu is championing a Republican bill written by her Senate runoff rival. She's also infuriating environmentalists and dividing the party in the wake of embarrassing national defeats.
Making matters slightly worse, the centrist Democrat may not have the votes.
Embattled Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and other supporters of building the Keystone XL pipeline appear to be one vote short of the 60 they need to win a key vote on the project on Tuesday.Landrieu has 59 votes backing legislation to approve the project, and Sens. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Angus King (I-Maine) appear to be her top targets to get to 60.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said yesterday Keystone backers are "one vote short," and that remains true this afternoon. Levin said today he intends to vote "no," and King is "leaning no." There was some chatter about Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) being open to persuasion, but he announced over the weekend that he's a "no," too.
For the sake of argument, let's say Landrieu finds her 60th vote and passes her opponent's bill. Is there any chance President Obama would sign it into law?
We received a pretty big hint late last week.
Unprecedented, except for all the other times
For Republicans, there is no bigger issue on the political landscape than President Obama taking executive actions on immigration. This one issue has driven GOP officials to raise the prospect of a government shutdown, presidential impeachment, and the defeat of every major legislative initiative of the next Congress.
But the problem Republicans can't quite get around is the fact that Obama's policy is likely to be awfully similar to what other modern presidents have done without incident.
We talked a bit about this on Friday, but a national report from the Associated Press has elevated this angle considerably.
President Barack Obama's anticipated order that would shield millions of immigrants now living illegally in the U.S. from deportation is not without precedent.Two of the last three Republican presidents -- Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush -- did the same thing in extending amnesty to family members who were not covered by the last major overhaul of immigration law in 1986.
There was no political explosion then comparable to the one Republicans are threatening now.
Over the last several days, GOP officials have sought to draw a distinction between limited, targeted executive actions, intended to advance the nation's humanitarian and foreign policy goals, and the more sweeping policy Obama reportedly has in mind. And on this, the right has a compelling case to make -- or at least half of a compelling case.
The Clinton administration, for example, adopted a deferred-action policy towards a modest number of Salvadoran immigrants as a result of their country's civil war. The H.W. Bush administration took similar steps to protect Chinese students fearing persecution in 1990. The W. Bush administration issued an executive order expediting the naturalization process for green-card holders who enlisted in the United States military.
It's not unreasonable to argue these measures are qualitatively -- and quantitatively, for that matter -- different from the kind of actions the Obama White House reportedly has in mind. Those recent examples set a precedent, but their scope and scale is dissimilar.
That's only part of a larger story, however.
Monday's Campaign Round-Up, 11.17.14
Today's installment of campaign-related news items that won't necessarily generate a post of their own, but may be of interest to political observers:
* In Alaska's gubernatorial race, Bill Walker (I) defeated incumbent Gov. Sean Parnell (R), with the latter conceding the race over the weekend. Walker, who ran with a Democratic running mate, will be Alaska's first independent governor.
* In Alaska's U.S. Senate race, Sen. Mark Begich (D) still has not conceded -- the AP and NBC News both called the race late last week -- and apparent Sen.-elect Dan Sullivan (R) is on Capitol Hill seeking committee assignments for the next Congress.
* There were plenty of unresolved U.S. House races after Election Day, but of the 11 too-close-to-call contests that have been resolved over the last two weeks, Democrats have prevailed in all of them. That might take some of the sting off a rough year.
* Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) has had some serious health issues during his first term in the Senate, but asked late last week about his future plans, the Republican replied, "No frickin' way am I retiring."
* On a related note, it's far too early to know who might take Kirk on in Illinois in 2016, but Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) has said she's "interested, open, and curious" about the race.
Senator complains about 'dumbass liberals'
I actually remember the way Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) used to be, back when he boasted about being a "square peg" -- a label he used as a shorthand to say he doesn't always fit in.
The Utah Republican used to actually see value in cooperating with people with whom he disagreed, working with Democrats, for example, on stem-cell research, the DREAM Act, and S-CHIP.
But then he threw it all away. As Amanda Terkel reported, Hatch's remarks at the Federalist Society's annual conference are a reminder of the kind of politician he's become.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) came out swinging against Democrats Friday, telling a room of conservative lawyers that Republicans were ready to give the other party "a taste of their own medicine.""Frankly, I intend to win with our candidate for the presidency in 2016, and we will give them a taste of their own medicine," said Hatch. "And we're going to win. We're going to win. These next two years are extremely important. Maybe the most important two years in our history."
"I get a big kick out of them using the word 'progressive,'" the senator said of Democrats. "My gosh, they're just straight old dumbass liberals anyway."
It wasn't too long ago that Hatch was positioned to become a rare statesman in Republican politics. But that was before his partisan Memorial Day tantrums, his occasional references to hitting people he doesn't like, and his juvenile whining about "dumbass liberals."
Those looking for GOP statesmanship will apparently have to look elsewhere.
On a related note, did you happen to catch Hatch's remarks about immigration reform?
GOP hatched Twitter-based scheme to skirt election laws
It's the kind of tweet the typical person would be inclined to ignore: "CA-40/43-44/49-44/44-50/36-44/49-10/16/14-52-->49/476-10s." Without some kind of cypher or context, these numbers are indecipherable.
But as Chris Moody uncovered, tweets like these during the campaign season were actually part of a creative scheme to skirt election laws.
Republicans and outside groups used anonymous Twitter accounts to share internal polling data ahead of the midterm elections, CNN has learned, a practice that raises questions about whether they violated campaign finance laws that prohibit coordination.The Twitter accounts were hidden in plain sight. The profiles were publicly available but meaningless without knowledge of how to find them and decode the information, according to a source with knowledge of the activities.
The tactic may seem complicated, but it's actually pretty straightforward. Republicans were effectively using fake Twitter accounts as a dead drop.
Let's say you're a Republican operative working for a campaign and I'm a Republican working for a like-minded super PAC. You have some important, costly polling data that would have a major impact on how I can help your candidate, but you can't share it with me directly -- under existing election laws, that would be considered illegal coordination.
What to do? In this case, you created a dummy Twitter account, where you published the data in a way no one would understand or even be able to look for. In the U.S. House race in California's 40th congressional district, for example, you'd publish a tweet that read, "CA-40/43-44/49-44/44-50/36-44/49-10/16/14-52-->49/476-10s."
I could then read the tweets, use my decoder ring to understand the data, and invest my super PAC money accordingly. If anybody asks, you could always say you just published those tweets -- publicly available to anyone -- and you have no control over who sees them or what they do with the information.
Is this clever? As schemes intended to circumvent federal laws go, sure. Is it legal? Well, that's tricky.
Republicans get ready to break up with Uber
Republicans have generally been slower than Democrats to embrace new technology, but if there's one thing the GOP loves, it's Uber.
Republicans love Uber. Young urban voters love Uber. And Republicans hope that means young voters can learn to love the GOP.Car-hailing and ride-sharing services like Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and others are wildly popular among wealthy, young, tech-savvy urbanites -- precisely the kind of voters that the Republican Party needs to win over to remain competitive in the long run. Those same services also just happen to be warring with government regulators in cities across the country over whether the upstarts are operating illegally as unlicensed taxi services.
The Republican Party is in love with Uber, and it wants to publicly display its affection all over the Internet.
Uber, Lyft and Airbnb have become mascots for a Republican Party looking to promote a new brand of free market conservatism while making inroads with young voters.Though the companies were engineered in the Democratic bastion of Silicon Valley, Republicans seeking to promote their party as freedom-loving and tech savvy are latching on to them.
I'm afraid, however, that the love affair is poised to come to an abrupt halt. Republicans may love Uber, but Uber loves "Obamacare," suggesting the star-crossed lovers may have to agree to see other people.

Calle Cervantes, 3
11403 Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz (Andalusia)
The magic of time
On the La Atalaya estate, there is a unique museum devoted to timepieces: the Palace of Time.
The Palace of Time has over 300 clocks and watches from the 17th-19th centuries, in a range of different styles, and all in perfect working condition. The exhibit is presented in an original setting, in which colour, light and sound combine to create a magical atmosphere. Life-size holograms, Baroque music, and the ticking of the clocks in the background create a very special ambience in all ten of the rooms that can be toured. The other museum on the La Atalaya estate is the Mystery of Jerez, which takes visitors on a journey through the world of sherry.

Beyond Bonnie Parker: 7 Renegade Women Who Need Their Own FilmsCinematic Listology By Monika Bartyzel on May 22, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
In cinema, real, dangerous women have been a fascinating anomaly – rare invaders of the norm who arrive, surprise, and vanish. As stalwarts of diversity, they wait in the wings until they're tapped for the next tale, used so often that their names become immortally infamous – like Bonnie Parker, who died eighty years ago today in an ambush alongside partner in crime, Clyde Barrow. If Hollywood was to be believed, history holds only a handful of badass women, but the repetitive nature of historical biographies isn't a necessity, it's a matter of habit. Hollywood opts for the familiar rather than mine the deep and plentiful repositories of women in history, save for the rare interludes that have brought women like Domino Harvey, Valerie Solanas, and Mary Surratt to the big screen. But they are a few of many more – tough heroines and villains whose lives are just asking for a film treatment. Here are seven, and the cinematic counterparts they could challenge.
Neil Burger Will Go on the Lam With 'Bonnie and Clyde'Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 25, 2011 | Comments (2)
The 1964 film version of Bonnie and Clyde is widely considered a modern classic and one of the jumping off points for the new Hollywood of the 60s and 70s. Do we really need another Bonnie and Clyde movie then, since we already had one that did things so well? Of course we do, we need a new version of everything. And this one might not actually be so bad, because instead of being a similarly romantic take on the story of the lovebird outlaws, this new proposed project is going to be based on a more real life take on the duo.
Culture Warrior: 'Taxi Driver' at 35Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on March 29, 2011 | Comments (6)
You hear the phrase "This movie could never be made today" quite often, and it's typically a thinly veiled means by which a creative team allows themselves to administer loving pats on their own backs. But in the context of at a 35th anniversary exhibition of the restoration of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver with a justifiably disgruntled Paul Schrader in attendance, such a sentence rings profoundly and depressingly true. Like many of you, I've seen Taxi Driver many times before. For many, it's a formative moment in becoming a cinephile. But I had never until last weekend seen the film outside of a private setting. And in a public screening, on the big screen, I'm happy to say the film still has the potential to shock and profoundly affect viewers so many decades on. For me personally it was the most disturbing of any time I'd ever seen the film, and I was appropriately uncomfortable despite anticipating the film's every beat. Perhaps it was because I was sharing the film's stakes with a crowd instead of by myself or with a small group of people, or perhaps the content comes across as so much more subversive when projected onto a giant screen, or perhaps it was because the aura of a room always feels different when the creative talent involved is in attendance. For whatever reason, I found the film to be more upsetting than in any other context of viewing. But one of the most appalling moments of Taxi […]
Culture Warrior: Can Cinema Ever Be Spontaneous?Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on March 22, 2011 | Comments (3)
Acts of spontaneity have been an essential component of artistic expression in the twentieth century, based in the notion of a perceived "purity" within the spontaneous act that allows art to be directly articulated without mediation or interference from social pressures and constructs. From the improvisatory paintings of Jackson Pollock to the idea of the rewrite as heresy within Jack Kerouac's prose, spontaneity in many cases is seen as the only way to make art that has any "real" meaning. According to Daniel Belgrad, mid-century efforts toward artistic spontaneity provided a means of expression free from the constrains enforced by an oppressive, conformist hegemonic culture: "This new avant-garde shared the belief that cultural conditioning functioned ideologically by encouraging the atrophy of certain perceptions and the exaggeration of others…In the recovery of such an alternative "reality"…they saw the only basis for constructively radical social change." Spontaneity through art then doesn't alter perception as much as its restores it to its ideal original state, allowing artists and spectators of art to see beyond a regime's oppressive confines.

Russkoye Ustye (Russian: Ру́сское У́стье) is a rural locality (a selo), the only inhabited locality, and the administrative center of Russko-Ustinsky Rural Okrug of Allaikhovsky District in the Sakha Republic, Russia, located 120 kilometers (75 mi) from Chokurdakh, the administrative center of the district.[1] Its population as of the 2010 Census was 157,[3][4] down from 181 recorded during the 2002 Census.[1] For several decades during the Soviet era, it was officially called Polyarnoye (Поля́рное).
The locality's name is probably based on the name of the river channel on which it is located, and which, too, has been known historically as the Russkoye Ustye. These days the channel is also known under the name Russko-Ustyinskaya Protoka that is formed from the locality's name. The original name of the channel, Russkoye Ustye, can be loosely translated as "the westernmost arm" [of the river delta], or the "westernmost river mouth". The noun ustye means "the river mouth" and the adjective Russkoye ("Russian") apparently refers to this channel's being the one located the farthest to the west (i.e., the one closest to [European] Russia). Similarly, the easternmost channel of the delta has been known as the Kolymskoye Ustye, i.e., the river mouth closest to the Kolyma (the Indigirka's neighbor to the east).
Russkoye Ustye is located in the delta of the Indigirka River, about 80 kilometers (50 mi) from the fall of the main western channel of the Indigirka's delta into the East Siberian Sea of the Arctic Ocean.
Russkoye Ustye was settled several centuries ago by ethnic Russians, who mixed to some extent with the indigenous Even people. As no agriculture is possible at this Arctic location, they developed an economy based on hunting, fishing, and trapping. Since the place is north of the Arctic tree line, driftwood brought by the Indigirka was used for construction and for firewood.
Due to the remarkable geographic isolation of the settlement, its residents preserved much of their ancestors' beliefs, customs, and folklore into the 19th and 20th century, which made Russkoye Ustye a favorite destination for Russian ethnographers and cultural anthropologists.[7] Linguists visited the place to study the local dialect of Russian, strongly influenced by the Even language.[8]
It is speculated that the original settlers, possibly of Pomor origin, arrived to the delta of the Indigirka as early as the first half of the 17th century. More skeptical researchers believe that the second half of the 17th century would be a more likely time for the initial settlement.[9] According to a locally recorded legend, the villagers' ancestors originally left European Russia during Ivan the Terrible's persecution campaigns in the late 16th century, although, as Rasputin suggests, reaching the Indigirka may have taken them a long time.[10]
The first known record of the community of Russkoye Ustye is in the reports of the explorer Dmitry Laptev, who had to spend a winter there in 1739 when his boat was stuck in the ice. A Socialist Revolutionary Vladimir Zenzinov gave an account of his visit in the early 1900s during his Siberian exile.[11][12]
It was only between 1928 (when a schoolhouse was built and a schoolteacher arrived from the outside world) and the 1960s (the arrival of helicopters) that Russkoye Ustye became reconnected, to an extent, with the "mainland" culture and integrated into the national economy. The pelts of Arctic fox became the principal product sold by the residents to the outside world.[11]
Historically, the peoples of Russkoye Ustye were spread out over tens of kilometers, living in solitary houses or tiny hamlets of three to four houses (there were six houses in the hamlet where Zenzinov stayed). Around 1940–1942, the authorities arranged for them to move into a single localion, which was given the name Polyarnoye. However, the inhabitants continued to refer to it colloquially as Russkoye Ustye,[11][13] and this name was officially restored in 1988.
A Siberian writer, Valentin Rasputin, dedicated a chapter of his non-fiction book, "Siberia, Siberia" (originally published in 1991) to the people of this isolated traditional community. Even though the locals "seemed to be fashioned entirely out of prejudice", he favorably compares their ability to pass moral judgments with the moral relativism of the modern people.[13]

What can these things possibly have in common? In a word - relativity.
I'm reminded of the old joke, two guys are swimming in the ocean when they notice a shark and one guy takes off swimming towards the boat, while the other says, "What are you doing? We can't swim faster than a shark", the other replies, "I don't need to swim faster than a shark, just faster than you."
Lately there has been a barrage of articles with regards to cloud security, and some very public demonstrations of outages with Facebook and Twitter. Its been a field day for many who oppose the cloud computing model. Let me get this out of the way so that there is no misunderstanding, yes, I agree with most on the need for better security in the cloud, and rest assured, the cloud service providers are motivated to work on it. That being said, lets move on.
Security, while a very real and legitimate concern is relative. While IT security has improved over the years I've been in this business, there are IT security breaches at banks, governments, educational institutions, retailers, and many other organizations which are not using the cloud today. Just do a simple Google search and you'll find plenty of ammo on the need for better security, cloud or no cloud.
While the discussion of cloud security is certainly a very important one, lets not forget that it's a discussion that's relative to the level of security in the current business environment of those considering moving to the cloud today.
Many of us who have spent our careers in or around IT recognize many of the security issues that cloud service providers will need to address. This is particularly true for those that have spent most of that time at large, enterprise organizations. We have to stop and remind ourselves, who are the prime, early adopter candidates for cloud computing? The answer here seems to be SMB.
So lets talk about SMB IT practices for a moment, and lets begin with the smallest of organizations, say 1-20 employees. Most of these companies can't afford IT staff, have no backup for their business records, have underutilized servers, have no security plan, or what many other IT professionals recognize as best practices in the industry, never mind security. Disaster, backup and recovery? Oh, yes, it's that tape backup in the desk next to the computer. They fax and e.mail "secure" documents around sometimes to the wrong fax or (external) e.mail address - oops, there goes Joe's private medical records. In these cases, cloud computing begins to look pretty attractive.
We can repeat this story on a gradual scale adding IT headcount along the way. How many IT people in a 20-50 employee organization? 50-100, 100-500? Certainly, some of the aforementioned issues get addressed, though not all, as they're dealing with many IT issues, are probably understaffed, and overwhelmed. Lets not forget we're talking about small businesses across all industries - accountants, doctors, lawyers, architects, retailers, and others, not necessarily small IT businesses. Add in the greatest recession since WWII, and well, you can see how the cloud value proposition begins to make sense to many in this segment of the market. Those small organizations will likely benefit from a move to the cloud, and will be more competitive as a result.
Last one with the legacy traditional IT environment, please turn off the lights, and try to stay ahead of the sharks.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...
