really? it came off as flat for me
the bit he was doing in the beginning about feeling full was funny, but the whole heckler thing, including when he runs into the woman later on in the bar seemed pointless to me, and i guess confusing in tone, as well. like, at first i thought the whole thing hinged upon tension between him and his balding schlubby comic cronies and the heckler gal, and there would be some huge satisfying blowup, but the whole thing just sort of fizzled out. or was that the point?? i'm confused. what was i supposed to be laughing at or pondering over?

David's character deals with social anxiety by trying to dominate it and the show climaxes when he fails.

This is def. shaping up to be one of the strongest first seasons of any show in recent memory - lots of memorable scenes and odd touches, but still feels like it has room to grow and change. The fact that this last ep was suspenseful and touching as well as being funny as hell is a testament to its unique malleability - people call it CK's Curb, but that show is so much more traditional.

the whole Pamela dynamic on this show is just odd to begin with. they had a really powerful and interesting chemistry as a married couple based on his real marriage on "Lucky Louie," then he got divorced and started this show and clearly wanted to give her a non-wife role that maintained that spark but her delivering certain kinds of lines to her comes out very different depending on if she's his wife, his platonic friend he's pining for or his girlfriend.

pamela is clearly awful you guys. i think it's sad but believable that louie is putting up with her behavior in the hope of getting some real affection from her.
still don't know what to make of him assaulting her that one episode. it's a weird moment because it is clearly unforgivable but so incongruous with the rest of his behavior that most of the time, watching the show, it's as if it didn't happen.

I think the whole sexual assault thing was just showing that Louie doesn't have what it takes to be your stereotypical alpha-male that he feels he needs to be. You see the whole time how forced it is, like he's trying to make himself do this because it's as if this is what he needs to do for Pamela to like him. It seems to have a messy point about what living up to made up expectations can possibly lead to.

historically louie is crap at making his move and pamela understands that with a caveat. if it weren't you and if it weren't me this situation would be unforgivable. i think she's stronger than he is and trusts him more than he trusts himself or her and he has to navigate that somehow.

yeah, i think you have to make allowances for the fact that "louie" is a work of fiction which often relies of stereotype and hyperbole and all the other things fiction does.
i mean, sure, in real life if someone did that it'd be cause for serious alarm, but the show itself helps dictate the terms on which we're supposed to take it, and after a few hours louie himself wasn't all that upset so that's a cue to the audience not to be either.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 20:18 (5 months ago) Permalink
that's a really really bad example because louis switches back and forth cleanly between magical realism and somewhat sardonic television "reality" with real skill and discretion. The garbage man bit is not meant to be taken as something that's actually happening so much as it's the sense of what-it-feels-like made concrete. the sequence with pam selling all his furniture is NOT A DREAM! NOT AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE! It's sold as someone you care about coming into your house and selling all your shit because they think it is time to move on from the things that are holding you back. Pam can be read as a controlling and overreaching psychopath for doing this but she could also be seen as someone who is taking a risk and helping louie move past his past, get rid of all the old shit from his marriage that even his kids are finding kind of pathetic for him to keep around. both views are possible and not too far from the truth and that duality of vision, fuzzy morality and stubborn insistence that there is not a "point" to these interactions any more than there is a person in the right for many of the things people do as couples is one of the big selling factors for me of louie as easily one of the best shows on television. it's closer to g.m. marquez than g.r.r. martin and i'm super happy that a cable broadened dial allows for both.
― Look at this joke I've recognised, do you recognise it as well? (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 20:27 (5 months ago) Permalink
but even in the context of the first-order "reality" of the show, I think we witness hyperbolic, exaggerated actions/reactions by characters all the time--things that are accepted more easily in fiction than in reality-reality.
and of course one of the things the show does, sometimes (and I agree the garbagemen thing isn't a good example), is to make the boundaries between the show's ostensible "reality" and some kind of sur- or hyper-reality indefinite. that hasn't happened as much this season as it had in previous seasons, but it's still a part of the show.

i don't run screaming, and i don't necessarily care about shows having "likable characters," but a lot of her actions seem more like passive-aggressive meanspiritedness than your normal joshing around.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Sunday, 29 June 2014 07:30 (4 months ago) Permalink
which is fine, for the show that is. IRL if a guy kept coming back to a woman that abused him like that it would seem... dysfunctional. maybe that's the point. or maybe they are just exaggerating her ball-busting-ness for effect. who knows? i certainly don't. i'm going to sleep.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Sunday, 29 June 2014 07:31 (4 months ago) Permalink
honestly don't see anything unbelievable about his behavior - wrongheaded, sure, but there are lots of folks like him IRL. he's convinced himself she is his soul-mate for some reason and her spurning him just makes him desire her more, because he doesn't really want her, he's after the elusive Pamela-totem. so any of her negative behavior towards him doesn't really dissuade him at all. maybe the passive aggression is her way of trying to hope she finally makes him give up?
I remember having a period like this in my own life when I was 19, lonely, naïve, and depressed, and there was a friend of mine who I thought I was in love with who kept clearly telling me "it won't happen" and I kept hearing "maybe" anyway, and kept telling her how I felt for a period of two years, until I alienated her so much that we drifted apart. she wasn't pass-agg like Pamela, but she could have been and it wouldn't have mattered.

I agree that the Pamela stuff for the past couple of episodes seems to stretch past ball-busting and into near-abuse, to the point where I was rooting for Louis to just *give up* on her already. It makes the relationship feel not-quite-right, which may be the intended effect for all I know.
Still think the funniest moment was in S2 when he's apartment shopping with Pamela and he sees the homeless dude on the street get swapped out for a different homeless dude by mysterious suitmen.

http://www.vulture.com/2014/07/californication-pamela-adlon-interview-louie-rape-scene-tv-recap-culture-debbie-harry.htmlkey quotes:
It's been four seasons, and I still can't decide if I even like Pamela.Yeah, when we were fleshing out the season and he told me I threw away his furniture, I was like, Okay now, she's like a monster! A crazy person would throw away somebody's furniture.
And the fact people were talking about, Did Louie try to rape Pamela? Was that a rape? Or calling it rape straight-out, which was nuts, because I never saw it like that, because they had this kind of over-the-edge connection and relationship. They do a push-me/pull-me thing. I know that one thing that motivates Louis and drives him is characters that don't explain why they do what they do. You just see things happen and play out, and you don't get a neat little button at the end of it. Pamela and Louie are both as flawed as the next person, it's not cut and dry.
The notion that we're being careless and putting some kind of dangerous message out is offensive to me. But I can't help what people feel and what reaction they give to things. I said something to Louis at the beginning of this season, which was that when we're doing stuff, more than going for a laugh or anything — or a reaction — we're going for a feeling.

Been rewatching S4 - works better if you ignore the episode titles and treat it as a long episodic movie of sorts, if that makes any sense. I thought it was a lesser season at first but there are just so many amazing scenes. I agree that the Amia plot could have happened over fewer episodes, but those also contained the Louie/Janice material, which was all dynamite.

A week after winning the Uebele Invitational at Beechwood, the Marian University recruit and Triton senior claimed top honors at the Northern State Conference meet, beating out teammate and Ball State signee Quentyn Carpenter by a stroke with an even par 71 at Mystic Hills in Culver Saturday.
Rapp and Carpenter combined for seven birdies to lead the Trojans to the team championship at familiar Mystic, where the duo finished up their NSC careers four-for-four in championships three weeks after completing a perfect sweep of Marshall County golf championships there on April 29. That time it was Carpenter who beat out Rapp for the low medal with an even par score while Rapp finished three strokes back in a three-way tie for second place.
But Rapp carded one more birdie than Carpenter Saturday to finish with four at the NSC finale, his last coming on the par 5 16th as the friendly rivals went one and two, respectively.
"It's awesome that I got to win it, especially senior year. To go out with something good since we don't have very many tournaments coming up," said Rapp.
"The last couple weeks I've been in a little bit of a putting slump, but it's getting a little bit better. I'm striking the ball very well. That makes up for a lot definitely."
Triton's two Division I recruits gave the team a one-two punch that was tough to beat, but the Trojans didn't get their best scores in the three through five spots Saturday.
Freshman Greg Music and Lucas Shafer both turned in 88s, while usual number three Tanner Shepherd struggled uncharacteristically with a 91. Triton's 319 was still more than good enough to handle the rest of the eight-team NSC field as John Glenn finished 10 strokes back in second, while LaVille was third with a 337 followed by New Prairie's 347, Bremen placed fifth with a 353 score, Jimtown was sixth with a 402, Culver Community followed in seventh with a 420, and Knox rounded out the field with a 441.
"It's one of those happy/ sad moments where I'm very elated for Ryan and Quentyn going one-two, and I think right now I'd put those two players up against anybody in northern Indiana," said Triton golf coach Jack Carpenter. "But three, four and five, this time of year shooting those scores on a course that they're very familiar with is a little distressing. They should be better than that by far, especially the front nine. It's very disappointing that they couldn't do better than that. You sort of want to be peaking at this time of year instead of having poor rounds."
Glenn was led by Tyler Prentkowki — who tied for second with Rapp and LaVille's Zach Gurtner at the Marshall County meet at Mystic — in third-place individually with a round of 75, while Michael Schmeltz shot 83 followed closely by Nick Vandervelden's 85 and Austen Hayes' 86.
"Prentkowski has led the way all year long. Another great round. He was within a stroke of Quentyn there on hole 17 — he was like 10 feet out for a birdie, and Quentyn had like a 30-footer and Quentyn knocks his in and Tyler misses his and then Quentyn gets up and down on 18 for par, and it was right down to the end," said Glenn head coach Randy Schmeltz. "Quentyn always comes through there at the end, it seems like. He's a very good player."
"I'm very proud of Nick VanderVelden, a senior. He shot 38 on the front and double bogeyed number nine," continued Schmeltz. "He struggled on two holes on the back side but otherwise he had a real nice round for us. Austin Hayes has improved tremendously for us the last month, just really steady, hitting the ball a long way, putting better. We had four kids in the top 11 and three kids all-conference, and Hayes was just one stroke away. We're creeping on Triton, but they always seem to get a little bit in front of us."
LaVille got a 77 from Zach Gurtner, good enough for fourth individually along with Bremen's Kevin Woodyard, while Cam Gurtner shot a solid 81 for seventh place after coming in in 37 at the turn and recent team re-addition Zach Hostetler finished with an 88 for 13th. Tyler Thomas shot 91 to complete the Lancers' team score.
"It's about what I expected, but after the front nine I thought we might be real competitive," said LaVille coach Alan Burch. "We shot real well, but we didn't play the second nine nearly as well.
"It's possible that you really play well and you're a little overconfident and you get a bad shot and you try to make up for it on the next hole, and it doesn't work. The second nine I think is just a little tougher, and between the combination of the two, we just kind of let it slip away."
Besides Woodyard's solid round of 77 for fourth place, the Lions struggled somewhat Saturday.
Micah Knoblock shot 87 to finish in 12th place overall, while Sky Allen shot 94 and Clayton Philips carded 95 for Bremen, which entered the NSC tourney with just two nine-hole losses in conference play, both to Triton.
"So far throughout our dual and tri-ways we'd only lost two in conference, and both of those were to Triton," said Bremen coach Ryan Eakins. "Coming in we thought we had a really good chance to get second place, and we thought even if we didn't play well we could get third and worst-case scenario probably fourth. But I think today was kind of proof for our guys that over the course of 10 or 12 weeks, there's a lot of golf out there and a lot of room for improvement. If you look at our scores today compared to the beginning of the season, we haven't improved one bit. We had a week at the end of April, beginning of May where we shot in the 160s a couple times but now all of a sudden we're back up into the 180s range."
"I think Kevin's done a really nice job of sustaining what he worked on last summer and fall, and once again he's going to be rewarded with all-conference, but a couple of other guys didn't play well today," continued Eakins. "I think they'll probably look back on this and say they left some putts out there and whatnot."
Culver's story Saturday was much the same as it has been throughout the season with a respectable top finish from Trent Elliott — who shot 82 to place eighth individually — while the rest of the Cavs' inexperienced lineup couldn't break the 100-stroke barrier with Kenny VanDePutte turning in a season-low 107, Cody Peterson coming in in 115, and Tevin Jones a stroke back at 116.
"We had hoped to finish sixth — we had seen some scores posted with Jimtown being in that sixth position, and that's the first time we've gone head to head with them this season in a tournament or even in a dual. We weren't sure how they'd pan out in a tournament, and they shot some good scores," said Culver coach Mike Elliott. "We had some kids shoot some solid rounds. Kenny VanDePutte, a freshman, ended up a season-low, so I was very pleased to see Kenny do well. Trent Elliott ended up 82, a little bit higher than he was in the county. He struggled a little bit on the front side but put together a 38 on the back side, which traditionally plays a little tougher, so I was glad to see him rebound a little bit on the back side and make it in that top 10 for all-conference."
"It's a tough field. We're always excited to host this NSC. There are some talented players in here, and the scores show that," he added.
Inexperience was also the byword of the day for the Redskins, but Knox did get a solid 99 from third-flighter Jacob Albon, while Hunter Gilbert struggled at number one with a 110, Curtis Scherer shot 115, and Dante Freet finished in 117.
"We've got two sophomores and three freshmen so it's a learning curve for them," said Knox coach Brian Earnest. "I know they weren't able to crack the win column last year and this year we've been able to get three or four wins, so that's been good. But it's a learning experience for them. Most of them are playing in their first conference tournament, and the scores weren't where we wanted them to be but they weren't bad, and it's just great for the kids to be able to get out and experience something like this."
With Saturday's finisher, the NSC field will now go its separate ways with area teams splitting into four sectionals on Friday, May 31.
Triton and Culver both head to the Warsaw Sectional at Stonehenge, while Glenn and LaVille travel to the South Bend Riley tournament at Erskine, Bremen plays at Black Squirrel at the Fairfield Sectional, and Knox plays at Beechwood at the LaPorte tilt.

Jeremy Hermida Rumors
Red Sox Designate Jeremy Hermida For Assignment
5:11pm: WEEI.com's Alex Speier says the Red Sox will continue to explore deals for Hermida in August if he clears waivers, which Speier says is a near certainty (Twitter links). Hermida could end up back in Boston's farm system if they don't find any takers.
2:40pm: The Red Sox designated outfielder Jeremy Hermida for assignment, tweets NESN's Heidi Watney. The 26-year-old signed with the Sox as a free agent after being non-tendered by the Marlins, but hit just .203/.257/.348 in 171 plate appearances. He dealt with rib and forearm injuries from a collision with Adrian Beltre.

Cafardo On Ortiz, Iannetta, Atkins, Lowell
The key to the Rays' success so far has been their pitching staff, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, who praises Tampa Bay for playing so well despite a few slumping bats. Cafardo says that it may be hard for the club to add another piece or two before the trade deadline, since their budget is already maxed out. However, Cafardo acknowledges that with Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena facing free agency, the Rays may go all-out this year and stretch their budget a little in hopes of winning a championship. Here are some of Cafardo's other notes:
- After this season, David Ortiz is probably "done in Boston unless he takes a massive pay cut." Ortiz might have trouble catching on anywhere next year, since there's virtually no market for one-dimensional players, and he may not be willing to accept a role similar to Jason Giambi's in Colorado.
- If Ortiz and Victor Martinez continue to hit, the Red Sox are very unlikely to pursue Chris Iannetta.
- One of the winter's most disappointing new additions has been Garrett Atkins, who is homerless and sports a .221/.261/.283 slash line in 119 plate appearances. The Orioles will have to consider releasing him if he doesn't turn things around.
- The Rangers are looking for a starting pitcher and a productive right-handed bat. A Rangers official tells Cafardo that he'd still love to see Mike Lowell in Texas.
- Cafardo thinks that if the Red Sox fall out of playoff contention and become sellers, they could replenish their farm system, acquiring multiple players for Martinez, Lowell, Ortiz, Adrian Beltre, Marco Scutaro, and Jeremy Hermida. I'm less optimistic than Cafardo about the caliber of talent the Sox could land for most of those guys.

Cafardo On Fielder, Wood, DeJesus
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe would like to see the Red Sox acquire a marquee player in his prime. Let's dive in and check out the tidbits that he has for us today..
- The Red Sox will shed a great deal of payroll this offseason thanks in large part to David Ortiz and Mike Lowell coming off of the books. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes examined the team's 2011 contract issues recently, suggesting $40MM could be freed up. With that newfound breathing room, Cafardo writes that the BoSox would like to zero in on one of three elite first basemen this winter. While he anticipates Albert Pujols remaining in St. Louis, he says that Prince Fielder and Adrian Gonzalez could be acquired via in-season trades.
- If Kerry Wood can show that he's healthy, he should be able to attract a contending team as we approach the trade deadline. Wood was recalled from his rehab assignment in Akron on Friday. The 32-year-old is set to make $10.5MM this season but if a team were to trade for him they would only have to assume the prorated portion of that.
- David DeJesus is "more than available" for teams seeking a lefty outfield bat. In return, the Royals would seek bullpen help and a positional prospect. Kansas City was said to be expecting serious interest in DeJesus this winter. The 31-year-old earns $4.5MM this season with a $6MM option for next season.
- While there's still some skepticism in Houston that Lance Berkman would really leave the organization, one Astros organizational person opined that the 34-year-old would "fit Boston like a fiddle". However, considering his advanced age and his offensive struggles this season, he's an unlikely fit for the club at present. Meanwhile, Cafardo mentions the Mariners and White Sox as teams that could really use a bat like Berkman's.
- Meanwhile, Jeremy Hermida is an outfielder that would seem to fit Seattle, though it doesn't appear that the Red Sox would entertain offers for him right now.

Odds & Ends: Jeter, Marlins, Fielder, Aurilia, Boras
If you're in the Northeast, here are some links to check out while you take a break from shoveling…
- ESPN's Jayson Stark ranked baseball's ten-year contracts, with Derek Jeter's soon to be completed ten-year, $189MM deal coming in as the best.
- The Marlins agreed to one-year contracts with 12 of their pre-arbitration eligible players according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, including Sean West, Chris Volstad, Emilio Bonifacio, and Dan Meyer.
- Brewers owner Mark Attanasio confirmed that he will be involved in long-term contract discussions with Prince Fielder, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (via Twitter). Haudricourt also tweets that Attanasio and GM Doug Melvin met today to discuss the situation and there will be no deadlines imposed on the 25-year-old.
- Rich Aurilia, who stopped by the Giants' camp today, says that while he's still looking for a job, he will retire if he doesn't have one by the end of spring, tweets Jeff Fletcher of AOL Fanhouse. The 38-year-old has a broadcasting deal in place if he is unable to find a job on the field.
- Shin-Soo Choo says that he would like to stay in Cleveland long-term, writes MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince. Choo, like Morales, cut ties with his former agent (Alan Nero) in favor of Scott Boras.
- Michael Weiner, the executive director of the players' union, confirmed that the union is participating in an investigation into alleged unauthorized withdrawals from Kendry Morales' bank account by a former employee of his former agents, Hendricks Sports Management (Bill Plunkett of the OC Register reporting). Morales recently dropped HSM and hired Scott Boras.
- Bernie Miklasz of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch provides a few quotes from Albert Pujols about his contract situation. "Do I want to do this right now and take care of this so we don't need to worry about it? Of course," said Pujols. "If it happens, it happens. But there are some things I am able to control and there are other things that are out of my hands that I can't control. And that's the truth."
- The Mariners signed righty Tom Wilhelmsen to a minor league contract, according to Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times. The 27-year-old had been out of baseball since 2005 because of substance abuse issues, though he resurfaced with an independent league team last season.
- Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker passes along a report indicating the the Orix Buffaloes are moving towards a deal with Freddie Bynum. The White Sox released Bynum last week so he could pursue opportunities in Japan.
- Meanwhile, Joe Strauss of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that Felipe Lopez will provide the Cardinals with a great amount of flexibility.
- Joel Sherman of The New York Post calls the contracts of Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, C.C. Sabathia and other Yankee players "time-bomb contracts."
- John Tomase of The Boston Herald says the Red Sox have a deep bench with Mike Lowell, Bill Hall, Jeremy Hermida, and Jason Varitek.

Mike Cameron Agrees To Deal With Boston
7:58pm: The deal is in the range of $15.5MM for two years, tweets Ken Rosenthal.
7:53pm: Mike Cameron has agreed to sign a two-year deal with Boston, the AP reports.
6:38pm: It is "believed" that Cameron would play left field for the BoSox, with Jacoby Ellsbury in center and J.D. Drew in right, writes Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. This would make recently-acquired Jeremy Hermida the team's fourth outfielder.
The Cubs and Mariners both had interest in Cameron, but shied away for different reasons. The Cubbies were waiting on a taker for Milton Bradley while the M's continue to focus on Jason Bay. The Braves also had interest, but it now it sounds as though Boston has the inside track.
Speaking of Bay, Crasnick wonders aloud (via Twitter) if this is the "final nail" in the free agent's chances of returning to Fenway.
5:40pm: Free agent outfielder Mike Cameron is in "serious talks" with the Red Sox, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The two sides are reportedly discussing a two-year pact.
Rosenthal adds that it is unclear whether the BoSox would place Cameron in left field or center field.

Red Sox Winter Meetings Preview
Peter Abraham takes a look at the Red Sox checklist as they head into this year's Winter Meetings. Abraham is sure to note that his focus is on what Boston needs, not the fantasy trade scenarios that fans may want. Says Abraham, "The Sox needs refining, not rebuilding." That said, let's take a look:
- The easy solution in left field is to bring back Jason Bay. Abraham says though, that the acquisition of Jeremy Hermida presents Boston with the option of signing a right-handed hitter, such as Xavier Nady, to form a platoon. The Red Sox could also let Bay go in favor of pursuing Matt Holliday.
- While the rotation appears to be set for now with Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Clay Buchholz, and Tim Wakefield, Abraham says the Sox could use a "No. 5.5 starter, a No. 6, and possibly a No. 7" for depth. He names the usual suspects, including Ben Sheets, Erik Bedard, and Rich Harden.
- Boston has requested medical reports on Mike Gonzalez, and will need to fill out the back of the bullpen for 2010. Abraham feels the Red Sox will invite about a dozen relievers to camp and see who performs well.
- Boston should look to add a veteran outfielder and infielder for bench depth. Abraham says Boston doesn't seem interested in keeping Rocco Baldelli around. He names Adam Everett, Craig Counsell, Reed Johnson, Marcus Thames, and Adam Kennedy as options.
- Abraham doesn't see Buchholz, Casey Kelly, or Ryan Westmoreland being dealt. He names Casey Kotchman, Josh Reddick, and Manny Delcarmen as trade chips.
- Abraham also speculates on the possibility of Jonathan Papelbon being traded. With Daniel Bard waiting in the wings, this isn't the first time someone has speculated on the possibility of Papelbon being shipped off.

Magic Monkey Curse
This is my last effort to post photos on my Blog. Then I'm not sure what I will do. AND YOU WON'T KNOW ANYWAY, BECAUSE YOU WON'T SEE THIS POST AT ALL. #*$&%
Thank you Blogger and the Magic Monkeys. I know that Jan will never let me live this down but it will be worth whatever she throws my way. I now have a "magic monkey" box for all those occasions when I need extra powers.
I just wish that when I asked Blogger for an answer, they would respond with SOMETHING, any kind of small response that might have said that It's OK. we are working on it: A bone for the dogs of blogs out here. Please....,

I like how you used red capital letters to let us know you were pissed. Nice touch. (I feel your pain.)
So glad your monkeys are being helpful and earning their keep. I think they are "paying it forward" so they don't get chewed; sharp little deciduous canine teeth mauling and remaining in their plush bodies or mangling their hard plastic until they are unrecognizable as something that was once so precious.
I await that apology...

It would appear that we're a little behind the times on this one, but a UK-based tuner of the Nissan GT-R is creating its own take on the lustworthy Juke-R starting with the Nissan Qashqai crossover. Severnvalley Motorsport claims to be the leading authority for tuning of the current GT-R in Europe. The outfit is now turning its attention to stuffing the drivetrain of a GT-R under the body of a Qashqai+2 – a seven-passenger compact crossover similar in size to our Nissan Rogue – resulting in the Qashqai-R.
The project started back in March when Severnvalley took delivery of a new Qashqai. After stripping the crossover down to its bare essentials and building a custom jig to support the body shell, it was then transferred onto an awaiting GT-R chassis. The crew aimed to keep Qashqai's appearance as stock as possible, but fender extensions and hood vents were required to accommodate the sports car underpinnings.
The white Qashqai-R seen above will be tuned to produce 900 horsepower, while a black version will get bumped up to 1,000 hp. And, looking at the build photos, we surmise that this project will take nothing less than a herculean feat of supercar determination before it's through.
We'll try to keep up with this build moving forward, but you can see the progress made so far in the gallery above (including what has to be the saddest picture on the Internet). Also, SVM has kept an up-to-date forum over at GTR.co.uk.

Double whammy: The music tax based on deep packet inspection
Re: The four horsemen are on their way
"I will put my hands up to being the occasional freetard, but with an ISP levy I'll be subsidising the more frequent freetards which isn't right. Also the non-freetards will be subsidising me, for something they never do, which is bang out of order."
I will put my hands up to the occasional visit to the hospital, but with my taxes going to the NHS I'll be subsidising the fatties and the clumsy people, which isn't right. Also, the really healthy/careful people will be subsidising me, for a service they never use, which is bang out of order.
Get the point? All taxes are the same, we all pay it, but don't all get equal benefit from it, sometime no benefit.
I'm still against a tax on ISPs (or anyone else) that is used to fund the music industry. My main issues with it are in the distribution of fund between artists, and that fact it will kill the genuine music business, because effectivly - through the tax - everyone has paid for every peice of music ever created in the past and present.

Re:10 Hours is an average
We don't know how many times he succeeded with this tactic, so accepting 10 hours as an average isn't really a good idea. It's like rolling a dice once, getting a 6 and calling that the average roll of a dice.
Also, it goes both ways, it's theoretically possible to get it first try and succeed instantly, but it's also possible to go on for much much longer than 10 hours.
Phorm papers reveal BT's backwards approach to wiretap law
Stealing ad space
Something I haven't seen mentioned in the Phorm debate yet is that they are overwriting adverts in web pages with their own 'relevent adverts' so effectivly stealing the advertising space from the web host.
It's exactly the same as plastering your own poster up on a billboard over the top of someone elses, it's the digital equivilant of flyposting, which is illegal.

Not sure long journeys would be 'a breeze', my daily commute is 120 miles...
Mother pleads not guilty in cyber-bullying suicide test case
@Geoff Gale
"for accessing protected computers without authorization"
The above quote appears a lot in the things she was charged for, and the basis for saying she accessed computers without authorisation is that she had violated the myspace ToS, therefore losing her permission to access/use the myspace website.
At least this is my understanding from the coverage I've read.
Quoting from other register articles on the subject:
"prosecutors charged Lori Drew with conspiracy and hacking for violating MySpace terms of service that, among other things, forbid the creation of fictitious accounts"
"The indictment charges Drew, a resident of O'Fallon, Missouri, with three counts of unauthorized access by violation of MySpace's terms of service and one count of conspiracy."
Although, if they were wrong then I appologise, since I haven't checked any other sources...
Terms of Service
She is being prosecuted for breaking the myspace Terms of Service, not lieing (although lieing what what broke the terms of service, she's not being prosucted for that specifially).
So this doesn't criminalise lieing on the internet, it criminalises breaking Terms of Service on the internet, which is much much worse IMO. I'm sure most internet users have broken some of the terms of services that they've blindly aggreed to at some point, this would effectively make anything someone rights in a Terms of Service aggreement legally binding with a possible 20 year prison sentence!
Glad I don't live in the US....

With humour, eloquence, empathy and delightful Gaelic charm, Diana, as a child, travels from Johannesburg to Ireland to a stately home with world-famous gardens. While the talk above stairs was of horses, rare plants and fishing; below stairs it was of banshees, the little people, ráths and the foxy-haired ghost. As an adult she returned to Africa, where she doubled for Grace Kelly in Mogambo; unwittingly employed a Mau Mau leader; met the king of cheetah racing; challenged the authorities at the height of apartheid - and emerged victorious. 'Diana Duff's memoir is feisty, humorous and poignant. It's an evocation of a lifestyle that the world will never accommodate again - particularly in Africa. More's the pity, because somehow we don't seem to breed such iconoclastic, fey and nonconformist characters any more. Diana has a remarkable memory for detail, and she writes with a kind of wry wit that is most engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Leaves from the Fig Tree' and look forward to Diana's next book.' - Patricia Glyn, broadcaster, journalist, committed African and author of Footing with Sir Richard's Ghost and Off Peak. 'The Kikiyu people ... were to me fascinating ... the descriptive way in which they spoke of things, illustrating with hand and tongue a thing that had happened, so that it came alive. One spoke to me once of years passing and conjured up a picture of a great fig tree, the leaves falling, each leaf another year of his life.

BCCI has got the government's nod for a series with Pakistan in December, but the participation of Pakistani players in next year's IPL still looks unlikely.
This, BCCI sources said, is because two IPL teams — Mumbai and Pune — are based in Maharashtra, where the Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena have opposed cricketing contact with Pakistan. Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Monday repeated his call to "staunch Hindus and the patriotic public" to not allow Indo-Pak cricket matches in India.
A BCCI panel comprising Rajeev Shukla, Ratnakar Shetty and IPL CEO Sundar Raman met home ministry officials recently to finalise the itinerary for the ODI and T20 series against Pakistan. A key point of discussion was ensuring that matches were staged at venues less prone to disruptions from the Sena.
The IPL governing council meets on November 21, when a final decision on whether to include Pakistanis in the IPL auction list could be taken.

IPM Backyard Resources
leafcutter bee (Megachile sp.)
While some municipalities allow urban beekeeping, Edmonton's Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw allows honey bees to be kept in any agricultural zone (AG, AGU, AGI) only, and prohibits them from being kept in any other zone. Citizens can check specific zone information for Edmonton by using the interactive zoning map.
Permission may be granted for bees to be kept outside of agricultural zones for special situations, for example, temporary circumstances where bees are kept under strictly controlled conditions for educational purposes. A citizen who wishes to apply for such permission is required to submit to City Bylaw Services a written application outlining their request, with supporting information outlining why it would be in the public interest to provide for an exception to the prohibition.
Honey bees however, aren't the only bees that pollinate plants in your yard. Our general interest in backyard beneficial insects is directed towards less social species of bees and wasps, such as solitary leafcutter bees and aphid wasps, that are less threatening to the public. Pollinator blocks to attract these beneficials are an area we are looking into to support greater pollinator biodiversity and natural pest biocontrols in the backyard.
How to make a pollinator blockStart with a solid block of wood such as a round of firewood, 25 cm (10 in) in diameter or larger, which has been split in half. Make a number of holes in the split face of the block. The holes can range in size from 3-11 mm ( 1/8-7/16 in) in diameter, and as deep as the drill bit will allow. The holes should not be too close together, about 2-3 cm (1 inch) or so apart. Drill as many holes as will easily fit on the block. You can also drill holes in a stump or a post stuck in the ground.
You can nail a plank onto the top of the block with 3-6 cm (1-2 in) sticking over the top the face with the holes, this will protect the holes from rain. A few species will only use blocks with this form of protection, but other species are less fussy. Place the block in some out-of-the-way part of your yard. You will probably get best results if you put the block out in the spring, but any time will work. Do not move your block once it has been positioned as the insects use landmarks to return to their hole.
What insects will use the pollinator block?
The holes in the pollinator block will likely be used by two broad categories of insects: solitary wasps, and solitary bees. Don't worry, these insects are not aggressive like social wasps or bees can be. They are capable of stinging but you have to pick them up and handle them to get stung.
Both of these types of insects will stuff the holes with enough food to bring one larva to maturity. They will then lay a single egg on that food, and use some type of material to seal the food and the larva in its protected cell. They will repeat this procedure until the hole is full of cells. A solitary bee will stuff its cells with pollen. A solitary wasp will stuff its cells with insects or spiders that have been paralyzed, but not killed by a sting of the wasp.
In either case, a larva will hatch and feed on the food left by its mother. When it has consumed the entire larder, it will change into a pupa, which will in turn change into an adult. If the adult is a male it will mate then die. If it is a female it will find a new wormhole, or pollinator block, and repeat the work of its mother.
Both solitary wasps and solitary bees are useful and interesting to have in your yard. Solitary bees will pollinate your fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals as they go about collecting pollen. Solitary wasps will hunt for bugs in your yard, in many cases they hunt for bugs that you don't want. Different wasps specialize in hunting for different types of prey. Some hunt aphids, some stink bugs, some caterpillars, others prefer spiders or flies.
Please tell us if your your block gets usedWe're very interested in learning whether your block was used or not. Please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can tell if a hole is in use because, the end of the hole will be plugged with some material like mud, leaves or silk. You can also keep an eye on the block over the summer and observe the wasps or bees as they provision their cells. If you like you can provide additional information. For example, a brief description of where in your yard you positioned the block. How many holes are in use? Is any size of hole not used or used particularly heavily? What material did the critters use to plug the holes? Or anything else you may have observed.
Aphid wasp (Passaloecus monilicornis)

Has Kickstarter jumped the shark? It seems like there are some projects, currently, that aren't for art or invention or the greater good. I'm not here to talk about those today. Instead, I'm here to bring your attention to a project that is going to create a documentary that will take people inside the heart of Jordan and the Syrian … Read More
Checking Out Holiday World and Splashin' Safari
Earlier this month, my family and I took a short road trip and visited the what's credited as the world's first theme park. No, we didn't go to Disneyland or Coney Island, or a Six Flags location. We traveled to Santa Claus, Indiana, and visited Holiday World and Splashin' Safari.
We Try It: Homemade Ant Killer
It happens every year like clockwork. Every June, we get invaded with ants. I'm sure it has to do with the weather, and the fact that the children home for the summer provide more than ample meals for our six-legged friends.
Summer in Your Own Backyard
Ah… it's June, the weather is warm and the living is easy. It's Friday afternoon, and the dreams of the weekend loom large… except when they don't. What happens when your summer wallet doesn't match your summer dreams?
Kickstartable: Reading Rainbow on the Web
Raise your hand if you remember watching Reading Rainbow, or if the kids you babysat for did! Reading Rainbow is as iconic as Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I was excited when this Kickstarter was brought to my attention, because who doesn't love LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow? And yes, the theme song will now be in your head … Read More
We Try It: An Upgraded Laundry Hamper
There are few guarantees in life beside death and taxes, but laundry is definitely one of them. One winter weekend I had had enough, and I decided I needed to do something about the overflowing hamper in our bedroom. Why was it always overflowing? Probably because this hamper has served me since 2001, and my household has doubled since then.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (And Now, in My Heart)
I am member of a low-pressure book club that meets maybe four to six times per year. I maybe make it three times a year, and I always enjoy it when I do. This week, we met to discuss A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and I am so glad I read the book and attended the discussion.

Finally, weve got details on the reopening of Bellas, the hothouse below Bar Martignetti. The name of the venue will be Southside (no relation to the one that used to be in Williamsburg). Anthony Martignetti came up with the concept, says the release, while on a bromantic trip to Costa Rica with his partner in the project, James Willis, a former manager of nearby Rubys who worked in the London fashion industry. Martignetti describes the joint as a private club without the membership policy, a high-class establishment without the pretentiousness, where you know everyone in the room. Expect chestnut tables lined with brass, banquettes with built-in subwoofers, a central D.J. booth surrounded by tables, a tin ceiling, black mirrors, black subway tiles, and tropical wallpaper. How all of this adds up to British colonial glam were not sure, but thats what we're reading. Opens this month.

Bar Martignetti's downstairs lounge will reopen this month.

The ex of rap mogul Dame Dash, Linda Williams, has reportedly filed a $1 million lawsuit against the Roc-A-Fella co-founder on accusations of harassing their son and lying to police.
Reports of the lawsuit landed online Friday (June 4) afternoon.
Tell it to the judge, Damon: Linda Williams is suing her ex Damon Dash for $1 million in compensatory damages, claiming that he harassed their son, Damon 2nd, and lied to the NYPD. In court papers that surfaced on Tuesday, Williams' attorneys claim that Damon "threatened" their son after he found the 17-year-old deejaying in an NYC nightclub and then held the teen against his will in his apartment. When Williams then attempted to get a restraining order against her ex, she claims, Dash provided false testimony that she had sent him 10 e-mails earlier that summer, which violated a Family Court protective order. So is Dash going to show her the money? The music mogul, who didn't reply to a request for comment by deadline, conveniently says he's broke. (New York Daily News)
Dash has been involved in multiple relationships after separating from Williams.
After splitting with Williams, Dash had high-profile relationships with singer Aaliyah before her 2001 passing and fashion designer Rachel Ray, the mother of his two daughters Ava and Talullah, until their 2009 divorce. (XXL Mag)
Last month, Dame said recent talk about his financial problems was exaggerated.
"I started to go through a lot of bad press all of a sudden," he explains of the period following the sale of his shares in Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear Clothing. "Like, the recession hit everybody, but me being a businessman and motherf*ckers getting caught up in the storm, all my issues were completely public. And completely exaggerated. So the recession sh*t happens, I don't give a f*ck." (YRB Magazine)
Last fall, Dame explained his addiction to financial success.
"I have fun everyday," Dash said about his life post-Roc-A-Fella. "The problem is, I think people take themselves a little bit too serious. I'm happy to be a part of history so many different times in so many different ways. I'm from a place where you have your ups and your downs. That's not really what I'm concerned about. It don't matter. I'm Dame Dash broke, I'm Dame Dash not broke — I'm Dame Dash when I got some money. But we also know that when Dame Dash got some money, he's putting it into his businesses. I am a cake-aholic. My quality of living never really changes, ever! I've never had to sacrifice or compromise. Y'all actually seen a lot of my tragedies," Dash said. "I know what real pain feels like. Y'all seen me cry…All this other stuff, because these people wanna sell papers and say things, I don't care about that. I don't defend myself." (MTV)
No further details have been revealed as of now.

Somewhere, a father in Melbourne weeps. There were 16 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales imported to Australia and New Zealand. There are now 15. A proud dad gave his son the keys to his so-rare-it's-almost-extinct Ferrari, and his son got a little too frisky with the audacious redhead. She didn't appreciate his advances, he lost control of the situation, and that little redhead introduced him to a pole... at a high rate of speed by the looks of it.
And as if that didn't beat all, the kid had to call home. While news crews watched. And filmed. Only to have newspapers and blogs spread the story around the world. No word on what his father said, but it probably rhymed with "Why I oughta @#%$*&%!"
Police say the driver was speeding, which means he must not have seen these commercials. But now, at least, he has a theme song, so sing along: "To you other kids all across the land, take it from me, parents just don't understand..." Thanks for the tip, Patrick!
