text: A Christmas Tale, "Un Conte de Noel," (2008. This unconventional tale of a dysfunctional family's agonizingly strained, animosity-filled Christmas reunion was written and directed by Arnaud Desplechin(MY SEX LIFE…OR HOW I GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT). It was nominated at the Cannes Film Festival for the Palme d'Or Award. The French film, a family comedy/ drama, runs two and a half hours, and brings together a starry ensemble cast led by Catherine Deneuve and Mathieu Amalric, with Deneuve's real – life daughter by Marcello Mastroianni, Chiara Mastroianni. Deneuve (THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, THE LAST METRO) plays Junon, wife of Abel, matriarch of the Vuillard family, which has had more than its fair share of physical, and mental illness, loss, and exile. But she finds herself in need of a bone marrow transplant, so the entire family is forced to come together for the holiday. I've read somewhere that Deneuve has had some experimental plastic surgery done on her face; be that as it may, her face is no longer terribly expressive. Amalric (MY SEX LIFE…) plays Henri, middle child and black sheep of the family. Mastroianni (TOWARDS ZERO) plays Sylvia, wife of Ivan, the youngest son. The story is told at great length, though not much happens; there are perhaps more flashbacks than needed. The characters also fairly frequently breach the third wall, addressing the audience directly, a sure way to stop the little action of the film cold. There are people who say that Deneuve and Kristin Scott Thomas are now supporting the French film industry by making Lifetime-type movies, but this sure isn't one. The family smoke and drink like there is no tomorrow, and for them, there may not be. In this film made in 2008, they smoke even indoors, in rooms where there are children; they nip at their flasks at inopportune moments, before and while driving. Henri tells a vulgar and inappropriate story at the Christmas dinner table. I'm glad these people don't live next door to me.

Analysis: Along with scoring his fourth TD this season, he recorded a strip sack, made five tackles - three for a loss - recovered a fumble and hurried Hoyer into several bad throws. Watt was unstoppable, providing more proof he's the NFL's best defensive player.

Analysis: The Texans defensive end said he noticed that the Titans' Zach Mettenberger posted a few selfies this week, including one a couple hours before kickoff. "I take my job very seriously, and if I was a rookie quarterback and a starter for my first time in the league I'd be a little bit more focused than that," Watt said.

Analysis: The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the deal had not been signed. Multiple media reports said the agreement was for six years and $100 million, with $51.8 million guaranteed and a $10 million signing bonus. Watt had two years left on his contract that was due to pay him $1.9 million this year and just under $7 million in 2015.

I've been putting up with this problem for a while. I have a certified 3D device with a driver version that is certified (Quadro 4000) but the active viewport boundary highlight is out of place. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have a solution to this problem? The white lines in this image are my viewport boundary highlight which is out of position. This only seems to happen when I turn off the viewport layer. If the viewport layer is on the highlight appears as expected.
How is it out of position? By the picture you attached, I don't see anything wrong. Do you want you viewport larger? Not enough information here to diagnose the issue.
As soon as I looked at the image again in light of your reply I immediately saw it as you did. I apologize for not making the situation clearer in my initial post.
Notice from the extent of the crosshairs and the position of the UCS Icon, both of which are to the left of the viewport highlight, that the viewport and the highlight do not match. As I said, the viewport layer is turned off so you cannot see the viewport itself. You can only see the highlight. The actual viewport boundary is set at 0.05" inside the sheet border lines all around. It is cropped to a polyline that traces a notch for the revision block on the border sheet (not shown). Only the lower left corner of the viewport is in the image.
OOOOOhhhhh. Now I see what you're talking about. WOW, I have NEVER seen anything like this. Drawing specific?
What are you calling the "active viewport boundary highlight"?
If I freeze my viewport layer (which I normally don't since it's on a no-plot layer) then there is no geometry to indicate where any viewports are.
In the screenshot below, you can see my cursor cut off at the top, before it reaches the magenta border line - since that is where the viewport stops.
Hey Randy. If you look at the guys pic, you can see that the active viewport is way off of where the actual viewport cuts off. The crosshairs indicate that the border of the sheet is the viewport, but the active part is not near that.
Unless there might be a viewport on top of a viewport.
I don't normally freeze or turn off the viewport layer either, but I just tested (in 2011) and I'm getting a different result from RKMcS. I don't get a thick highlight, but I do get a box around the viewport. So you don't see any viewport when you're in paperspace, then you click into model space and it appears. It is drawn the same colour as you have the crosshairs set to.
I'm not seeing the 'offset' problem the OP has either.
Credit where credit is due! Give kudos or accept as solution whenever you can.
Ctrl + R switches viewports. That's got me out of a couple of issues with one on top of another.
Credit where credit is due! Give kudos or accept as solution whenever you can.
Hi R.K.,
I don't freeze the viewport layer, I just turn it off. Mine too are on a non-plot layer (CLG *NPLT*) which is used in my on/off macro. I turn them off because I just don't like seeing anything that is not intended as plot output. In the layer off condition, when I am in the viewport model space, AutoCAD presents a bold outline of the viewport (those white lines in my IP image) to indicate the view I am in. The highlighting is displayed when the viewport layer is turned on as well so off/on does not affect the highlighting. The highlighting is helpful when there are multiple viewports, especially if they overlap. I use CTRL+R to cycle through the active viewports on a layout when one is nested inside another which happens when I do a blow-up detail on a pipeline plan. The highlight shows which is current.
In constructing and checking this explanation I realized that the problem happens only when the viewport layer is off and the viewport is clipped (has a polygonal boundary). The problem boundary is orthogonal but it has 6 sides (a notch in the upper right corner). It happens on all of my sheet layouts with that type of viewport.
Here is an example of the highlighting with model space above and paper space below, viewport layer is on in both images and there is a slight overlap of another viewport to the right:
I believe the highlight color always matches the viewport layer color.

- Nick Mamatas shows off the new cover of Under My Roof. Note: No gnomes were harmed in the making of this cover.
- Over at the Guardian, Lee Rourke says Don't mistake long novels for deep ones. "…how does one produce a slim volume that contains more literary weight per page than most fat, sprawling, literary epics?" [via Mumpsimus]

Religious leaders gathered at the site of the latest deadly officer-involved shooting in Albuquerque.
The gathering took place at 3 p.m. Thursday on Upper Meadow Avenue, where a U.S. deputy marshal shot and killed a fugitive on Wednesday.
"Aside from the sadness of losing a human being, There's also the loss of trust in the institutions in the city and the people who are supposed to protect us," said Christine Robinson, who led the prayer circle.
The U.S. Marshals Service said the deputy was with other officers attempting to serve a federal arrest warrant in the 9000 block of Upper Meadow Avenue SW when the shooting happened.
Authorities have not yet released the name of the fugitive. The U.S. Marshals Service won't say why the deputy felt the need to use deadly force.
The man's family didn't want to talk, but a family friend told KOB Eyewitness News 4 that he didn't have a weapon when he was shot. The family friend said the man, his wife, and two children were home when officers barged in and shot him. One of his young children witnessed the shooting, according to the friend. She said the family didn't know why the deputy shot him.
The investigation is being handled by New Mexico State Police, Albuquerque Police Department, Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department and Bernalillo District Attorney's Office.

Gartner, Inc. recently highlighted the top 10 technologies and trends that will be strategic for most organizations in 2012. They define a strategic technology as one with the potential for significant impact on the enterprise in the next three years. Factors that denote significant impact include a high potential for disruption to IT or the business, the need for a major dollar investment, or the risk of being late to adopt.
A strategic technology may be an existing technology that has matured and/or become suitable for a wider range of uses. It may also be an emerging technology that offers an opportunity for strategic business advantage for early adopters or with potential for significant market disruption in the next five years. These technologies impact the organization's long-term plans, programs and initiatives.
"These top 10 technologies will be strategic for most organizations, and IT leaders should use this list in their strategic planning process by reviewing the technologies and how they fit into their expected needs," said David Cearley, vice president and Gartner fellow.
"Organizations should start exploratory projects to look at promised candidate technology and kick off a search for combinations of information sources, including social sites and unstructured data that may be mined for insights," said Carl Claunch, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.

This is the book that sucked me into the world of Harry Potter. I'm going to have to pace myself through the rest of the series.
The book is about Harry Potter's second year life in the magical school.
Not as compelling as the first one. This one felt more juvenile in tone, and the plot not nearly as compelling. Nice way to pass the time though.
I liked it more on a reread, though it was my least favourite later on. I think it makes sense that it feels a little thin, given that JKR took some stuff out that fit better in HBP. However, I do love the humour in this one. Particularly Percy. Poor old Perce.
The atmosphere Rowling creates is unique; the story whizzes along; Harry is an unassuming and completely sympathetic hero. But, truth to tell, you may feel as if you've read it all before. Rowling clearly hit on a winning formula with the first Harry Potter book; the second book — though still great fun — feels a tad, well, formulaic.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0439064864, Hardcover)It's hard to fall in love with an earnest, appealing young hero like Harry Potter and then to watch helplessly as he steps into terrible danger! And in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the much anticipated sequel to the award-winning Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, he is in terrible danger indeed. As if it's not bad enough that after a long summer with the horrid Dursleys he is thwarted in his attempts to hop the train to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his second year. But when his only transportation option is a magical flying car, it is just his luck to crash into a valuable (but clearly vexed) Whomping Willow. Still, all this seems like a day in the park compared to what happens that fall within the haunted halls of Hogwarts.
Chilling, malevolent voices whisper from the walls only to Harry, and it seems certain that his classmate Draco Malfoy is out to get him. Soon it's not just Harry who is worried about survival, as dreadful things begin to happen at Hogwarts. The mysteriously gleaming, foot-high words on the wall proclaim, "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware." But what exactly does it mean? Harry, Hermione, and Ron do everything that is wizardly possible--including risking their own lives--to solve this 50-year-old, seemingly deadly mystery. This deliciously suspenseful novel is every bit as gripping, imaginative, and creepy as the first; familiar student concerns--fierce rivalry, blush-inducing crushes, pedantic professors--seamlessly intertwine with the bizarre, horrific, fantastical, or just plain funny. Once again, Rowling writes with a combination of wit, whimsy, and a touch of the macabre that will leave readers young and old desperate for the next installment. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:58:46 -0400)
When the Chamber of Secrets is opened again at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, second-year student Harry Potter finds himself in danger from a dark power that has once more been released on the school.

VICTORIA Park will play host to some of the top young bowlers in the country after being chosen to hold the 2013 British Isles Women's Bowls Council Junior International Series and Championships on July 20/21.
The event was due to be staged in Ireland but due to unforeseen circumstances a change of venue was requested.
Tony Allcock MBE, Bowls England chief executive, said:"It is unfortunate that Ireland are unable to host the event as originally planned, particularly for many who may have already made travel plans, our own team and officials included.
However, thanks to the co-operation of Warwick District Council and Royal Leamington Spa BC we were pleased to be able to offer the facilities at Victoria Park to the BIWB, and we now look forward to welcoming players and spectators from all teams later this summer."
Players will arrive in Leamington for practice sessions on Friday, July 19 followed by the international series throughout Saturday and Sunday morning, concluding with the British Junior Championships on Sunday afternoon.
Councillor Stephen Cross, portfolio holder for cultural services said:"Although it is unfortunate for the original host of these international championships that they can no longer hold this event, it is good news for our district.
"Now that Victoria Park is established as the venue of the English Championships and Leamington is the headquarters of Bowls England we may hopefully be playing host to more high profile competitions.
"Certainly this event in July, will provide a further boost to our visitor numbers and the economic benefit that they will bring."

It is that time of year again… And no, I am not speaking of Halloween. (It is THAT time of year, too, though.)
No – what I speak of is way scarier than a decapitated zombie with a sawed-off shotgun chasing you through a corn maze in Bullitt County. (Well, maybe…)
It's flu season. And you – like me – will soon be forced to make the decision: To be shot, or not to be shot (by a needle full of vaccine that is – not by the shotgun-wielding zombie).
Sorry if that whole thing was confusing… It's just that the vaccine concept makes me a little dizzy. This is mostly because I got the chicken-pox vaccine as a teenager and quickly got full-blown chicken pox. Not being able to do anything but bathe in oatmeal for an entire semester of your sophomore year would have made you a little paranoid about modern medicine, too. But I am also now old enough to understand how much I truly hate being sick. Thus the vaccine is starting to seem like a great idea.
If you enjoy using needles to avoid pain (strictly in a legal medical sense, that is), Norton Healthcare is making getting your flu shot this season as easy as going to the mall. Take $25 and wear a loose-fitting shirt to Mall St. Matthews or Jefferson Mall this Saturday from 11am-3pm.
Just a few restrictions on this – You must be 18 and if you are currently pregnant, your OB needs to send a note. Also – you won't need $25 if you have Medicare Part B (with proper ID and Medicare card).
Want more in the way of details or want to see if any other Norton flu shot stops are coming to your neighborhood? Call 502-629-1234.

iLounge Game Spotlight: Final Kick, Penalty Cup Soccer 2014 + Pixel Cup Soccer
This week, we'll be taking a look at three recent soccer games that have hit the App Store in time for the World Cup, which starts next week. First up are Final Kick (free) and the laboriously titled Penalty Cup Soccer 2014 — World Edition: Football Champion of Brazil (free), both games that focus on penalty shootouts. The other is Pixel Cup Soccer ($2), a full arcade-style soccer game.
Final Kick from Ivanovich Games claims to be "the best penalty shootout." Players switch back and forth between the shooter and goalie. Shots are taken — and saves are made — by swiping across the screen. The graphics are very impressive for a free game. In-app purchases are available, but they're not needed to enjoy the game. There are, however, annoying features such as the game making you watch a video ad to continue playing its offline tournaments. It's not entirely unexpected from a free game.
The game does have other issues. Goalies don't always go quite where you want them to, and timing a save can be a bit iffy. Shooting is easier and more satisfying. Players can also rename and upgrade their team, which is a nice touch. Final Kick offers a number of special abilities and features, but it's best to just ignore all those bells and whistles and focus on the shootout itself. The game's not perfect, but we found ourselves being drawn in.
Playing Final Kick followed by Penalty Cup Soccer 2014 is like going from a comfortable resort to a rundown motel. Though both games are free penalty shootouts, the experience is night and day. Penalty Cup Soccer 2014 lets you pick from any of the participating World Cup teams, which is nice. But once the game starts, well, it's not impressive, to say the least. The graphics are a joke, and the gameplay isn't much better. When you're playing as the goalie, the game actually tells you where the ball's headed, but you still might dive right past it. None of this is that surprising when you realize the developer, KaiserGames, is mostly known for its free games where you put makeup on celebrities. Steer clear.
Pixel Cup Soccer from ODT is the only true full-field soccer game in the group. It's a bit like a faster version of 1990's Nintendo World Cup for NES, which was a lot of fun. You can pick from 16 teams representing different countries, and you use onscreen controls to move your player, pass, shoot, and tackle. There aren't any licensed player names, but a number of players do have first names matching their real-life counterparts — Landon represents Landon Donovan on the USA, you've got Gianluigi for Italy's Gianluigi Buffon, and Neymar for Brazil's ... Neymar.
It's important to pick similarly matched teams when playing Pixel Cup Soccer. Otherwise, prepare for a one-sided mismatch. That's one of many things with the game that seem to be a bit off. The main problem is the action itself. If you've got a good player on the ball, there's really not much reason to pass. There's too much space, and the game moves too quickly. You can easily wind your way through the defense and get a good shot on net. The game ends up being a lot of one-on-all for both you and the computer. Though this is the only true soccer game, we had a bit more fun with the free Final Kick. We normally don't even review free games, but we liked it best in this group.
iLounge Rating:
Final Kick: B-
Penalty Cup Soccer 2014: D
Pixel Cup Soccer: C+
