Beginning on Wednesday, February 5th, The Denver Film Society will launch a new film education course, Film Criticism: The Envelope Puhleeze - What Award Season Fever Tells Us About The "Best" Of Hollywood, taught by esteemed Denver Post film and theater critic, Lisa Kennedy.
The class -- which meets every Wednesday night from 6:30-9:00 at the Sie FilmCenter -- will examine the peculiar cultural ritual that is the film Awards Season and consider what it means to single out one movie as the "Best Picture" of the year.
Whether you're an Oscar fanatic or Oscarphobic, Kennedy's class will definitely give you something to think about in-between munching on popcorn and snickering at fashion faux pas.
Is it safe to say that we're in the midst of the golden age of animation?
I would say yes! We've been in the Golden age since the '90s. Why you ask? Since the release of Beauty and the Beast VOL. 2 in 1991 until now, there have been more animated movies grossing over one hundred million dollars than any point in history! The top 50 grossing animated movies of all time happened in the last 20 years and the numbers prove it.
Through the good and the bad, if you smile more often, life will seem easier.
Watch a movie that makes you giggle, smile, and cheers you up. One that puts you in that mood where you forget about your problems and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There seem to be no worries in the world when you have a great comedy to take you to another place. So, smile a little more and life will feel a lot better.
His name is Jan Švankmajer and he is probably hands down the most creative, disturbing, artistic movie director who has ever lived!
My statement above is no joke; I swear, even the master of darkness (Stephen King) cannot compete with Jan Švankmajer. Seriously-- take a look at one of his films! I swear, they appear to be from another planet. Even though it might seem that Jan Švankmajer is seriously loony!!! I must say he is a creative genius!!!!
Let's re-visit the '70s and remind ourselves what a groovy time it was for movie goers.
Awwww what a time; disco balls, bell bottom jeans, muscle cars, and so much more! But, let's not forget that this was also a time for movies that were just plain awesome. They say that the golden age of movies was between 1927 and 1963, but I feel that is premature. If you really look at the number of films that left a profound impact with film audiences in the '70s, you would agree that 1963 date should be extended to 1979. If you're interested, you can also check out the links below to learn interesting facts about these films.
It's October, and as you know, it is a time for scares, costumes, and all things creepy. I've decided to dedicate this blog to this, my favorite time of the year, but with a little twist. Instead of the classic scary movie blog, this blog will be about the strangest movies I've ever seen.
I have seen a ton of bizarre, strange, and unusual films in my lifetime, but I think I've finally found two films that really "take the cake." The Films are Gozu and Little Otik. When I ordered these movies and saw the images on the DVD cases for the first time, I was already preparing myself for a trippy experience. For example, take a look at the covers of these two films; one has a man crouched down in his underwear with a giant bull head for a mask, and the other has a lady holding a wooden baby doll-type thing that has clothes and a pacifier.
Like the Cinémathèque Française, where young French filmmakers like, Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut received their early cinematic education, the Denver Public Library preserves and makes available a large collection of films from a variety of eras and cultures, as well a number of books and articles on film history and criticism. Channel the spirit of the nouvelle vague and let DPL turn your living room into a screening room. Vive la France!
Motivated by an intense love of all things cinematic, the core group of directors associated with the New Wave -- Godard, Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette and Eric Rohmer -- transformed themselves from film lovers to film critics, and from film critics to film directors.
If you're missing the NBA season like I am and need a little something to get you through those tough days with no basketball to watch, check this out. I recently went through the DPL (Denver Public Library) and Inter-library loan catalog and found a few "must-see's" in the NBA world, film-wise. Also check out "My Opinion" on the bottom of the blog discussing my top 10 and favorite NBA players of all time.
If you remember the NBA in the 90's, then you will know that it was ruled by one man: Michael Jordan. The documentary, Michael Jordan In the Max, features the superstar Michael Jordan, showing highlights, interviews, commentaries, and did I mention highlights?! If you love Jordan, the Chicago bulls, the NBA, and basketball in general, this is a must see. Also, you can really see the style of his game, talent, and drive, and get up close and personal to really study whether he may be the best to have ever played the game of basketball.
Having recently watched the "Grandmaster" in theaters, it really got my juices flowing for the martial arts genre. Here are a few must see from recent years.
The Bruce Lee Ultimate Trilogy has 3 of Bruce Lee's films "Big Boss," "Way of the Dragon" and "Game of Death." What can I say that hasn't already been said about Bruce. All I can say is, must see!
IP Man: The legendary grand master of Wing Chun and master to Bruce Lee, comes a very good movie about some misfortunes in IP Man's life and how one man stood up against a nation. Based on a true story.
If you're looking for those hidden gems from around the world, I've found a few that might just be what you been looking for. Creatively filmed, very unique stories, Brilliant actors, suspense, humor and films that have won awards in other countries. Check out the trailers at the bottom of the page.
Bronson: A very creatively, brilliant way to film one of the most violent, famous prisoner in Britain. Combines art, Humor, action and a very unique way of getting famous.
Departures: One man's misfortune leads to an unexpected taboo career in Japan. The music composed for this film is amazing, the story itself is very inspiring and uplifting. A must see.

Dressing For a Petite Frame
For many Latinas and girls of Hispanic ethnicity, being petite comes with the territory. While this is not true for every Latina, for those who are, it can be challenging to find something to wear that is both flattering, and not made to fit a small child. Being petite has its perks. The petite frame… Read more

Government shutdown looms within a day
Washington -- Majority Leader Harry Reid says the Senate will reject an emergency spending bill from the Republican-led House that calls for a one-year delay in implementing parts of the health care law.
The bill would delay so-called "Obamacare." The Democratic House says it wont go along with that.
Without a breakthrough, a partial government shutdown takes effect at midnight. That could slow services like first-time home mortgages, airport security lines and even food safety inspections.
Members of Congress and the President will keep getting paid even if the government shuts down, but it could come at a hefty cost to taxpayers. The White House estimates the overall cost of a shutdown would be two billion dollars.

Tried loading some long rifle in my old cheap Stevens I bought used. The round comes up from the tubular magazine ok, but when I go to step 2 and push the bolt to put the round in the barrel it binds the round in the barrel. I used a rifle cleaning kit thinking it was just some gunk, but no improvement. Could the barrel be internally pitted? When I inspected the 22 lr round I could see an area on the upper left shoulder of the round where the lead has a scratch,scrape, or shiny spot from the barrel obstruction( or whatever you want to call it). Shot 22s as a kid, but just got back into the craziness with a Glock 19, a S&W 15/22 and the old Stevens. Any help appreciated.

Does the round go all the way into the chamber? If so shoot one and inspect the brass. that will tell you if there is a bad spot in the chamber. Or pull the barrel so you can see into the chamber.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
ok question you are getting binding wit reloads that you did... have you checked to see if a factory round binds? maybe the brass needs to be resize?
or maybe i misunderstood your post
Is the bullet nosing up and hitting the top of the chamber? Not uncommon on tube feed guns.
There is a set of "feed lips" in there. If they spread a bit over time or get otherwise bent
it can cause feed problems. Also the little spring loaded shell lifter can wear/bend and mess
with feeding.
Before you grab the hammer and start "adjusting", try different ammo. Sometimes just going
to a plated bullet or slightly different bullet shape will solve it.
Been there, done it.
After replacing parts (and there are numerous models), I wasted a lot of time and money.
Finally put a red tag on it and returned it to the individual.

"There was a little less enchantment in the Magic Kingdom Sunday morning when a 63-year-old Pennsylvania woman was taken into custody for allegedly bringing a loaded semi-automatic into the park.
Disney World security personnel reportedly discovered a silver handgun on Mary Ann Richardson as she entered the park with other family members, according to the Orange County Sheriffs Office. The .32-caliber Beretta handgun had been loaded with seven live rounds in the magazine, but the chamber was empty, MyFoxOrlando.com reported.
Richardson claimed she regularly traveled with the gun and forgot she had been carrying it around in her purse. Also found in Richardsons purse was a pair of scissors and a locked blade knife, authorities said. She was charged with possession of a concealed weapon."
The article says nothing about a concealed weapons license (FL honors PA permits according to handgunlaw.us).
Nor, does it say how they discovered it.

We watched a few episodes on holiday once and she was hooked! haha. It has given us both so many laughs and jokes. As a series, it is amazing since it targets any audience really. The young ones can laugh but the older generation laughs harder because they can understand the rudeness of the jokes. And come on, who can not love STEWIE! Running around in the mud, being bathed in the sink, slapping and trying to kill his mother! lol aren't babies fun.All though not the funniest of all the series as a whole, this is still a great comedy addition to your collection and I would not wait another minute in adding it to mine, which I did not.

Can't edit files in roaming folder
my OS is windows 7 sp1 x64, and I have the following problem:
I wanted to edit an XML file in the folder
While I can edit the file, firefox will not recognize the changes that I made to the file.
I tried to start my editor with administrative privileges, but this didn't help. I had the same problem before, with a file that was located in the programs folder. I was able to change it, but the program didn't recognize the changes.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Hope someone here can help me, thank you in advance for any advice.
|My System Specs
|09 Apr 2011
Windows 7 Pro x64
Have you tried making those changes in the program itself?
Could be that file you are editing is a backup of the real original file.
Make the change in the program and then look at that file to see if it reflects the changes.
Also do a search for *.XML and see if there is another file with a similar name in some other folder, like a folder for the Firefox program.
|My System Specs
|10 Apr 2011
Unfortunately you can't edit these xml files in firefox.
Good idea with backup, I searched the entire disk, for files with the same/content, but didn't get any results. Also, if I remove a file from the folder, firefox does recognize, that it's gone, so it must be the right folder/files.
Boy, this is really frustrating. I never had the problem under Windows XP, is it possible that Windows 7 has some type of security layer that is working against me?
|My System Specs
|10 Apr 2011
Several, including Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
An example.
Close Firefox. Edit "search.json" in your profile folder, find "google.com/firefox" and replace it with your preferred URL (be careful not to change anything else, including quote marks in the file). Save the file. Close it and restart Firefox
You may want to edit the original google.xml file too, so that you don't have to repeat this if you create a new profile at some point.
If you are unable to edit then you may have some permissions set which prevent you from doing so.

Seems like Simone is back! Emma Rønholt was 3-0 against Simone in their previous three matches. It's also nice to see that Sille Tranberg and Frederikke Svarre have developed into quite good players by Danish standards (although this by far was the easier half of the draw). I think this will be Frederikke Svarre's 1st Championship final ever. It's also Amina Hadzic's first final, if I'm not mistaken. Well done by both girls to keep progressing all the way through their junior years, although both Amina and Frederikke are seeded 2, which sort of suggests they ought to reach the final (their seeding is more due to the new ranking system, I think, than them actually being 2nd best a.t.m.).
Hannah Møller is cruising as always. She rarely loses a U12 match against Danish players. Simply outstanding!
The big favourtites for the titles seems to be in the upper half of the draws (by chance?): Hannah, Sofie, Simone, and Julie. We'll see...

New York City officials are neither confirming nor denying a published report that a controversial statue will be moved to Brooklyn from its home near Queens Borough Hall.
"Triumph of Civic Virtue" was unveiled in 1922 at City Hall and banished to Queens during the LaGuardia Administration. Created by American sculptor Frederick MacMonnies in 1919, it depicts a nearly nude man with a sword towering over two women.
Many people, including several public and elected officials, have objected to the statue as sexist. The sculpture also has fallen into disrepair over the past few decades.
A published report claims that the city's Department of Citywide Administrative Services is planning to relocate the statue to Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn and have it restored with private funds.
While MacMonnies is not interred at Green-Wood, members of his family are. The artist, who died in 1937, is buried in Westchester County.
No exact timetable has been set for any relocation, and a DCAS spokeswoman said Wednesday that there has not yet been any decision.
"The city is looking into options that preserve the sculpture and best serve the community," according to the statement.
The statue sits at the corner of Queens Boulevard and Union Turnpike not far from Borough Hall. While Borough President Helen Marshall has been a critic of the statue in the past, she is disappointed over the idea of relocating it to Brooklyn.
"The statue of 'Civic Virtue' has been an on and off again controversy almost since the time it was unveiled 90 years ago at City Hall," Marshall noted in a statement issued by her office. "I am grateful and glad that 'Civic Virtue' will be restored, but disappointed that the restoration will not take place at the current site."
Marshall said it could be replaced with a public plaza dedicated to notable women from Queens, such as the late Congresswoman and vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro.

This soup is so simple, with the main ingredient being only carrots, and no potatoes or cream to thicken it. I'm sure there are many directions in which the flavors could travel, but I prefer to make it with a predominantly Indian taste. Feel free to adjust the spicy-level as necessary. I like it with a moderate to intense heat, but you can add more or less cayenne and crushed red pepper to suit your own taste. The final product should be smooth and evenly blended, so you will need some kind of food processing device to get it right.

Local. Checkins. Deals. These are the top three buzzwords of mobile marketing. Though mobile's been around awhile, this holiday season is poised to be the biggest when it comes to the use of mobile phones to facilitate shopping. But for every Old Navy, there are a hundred small business owners who would like to get in on the game but are overwhelmed by the process. PlacePop.com can do something about that.
PlacePop isn't one of the biggest players in the checkin game (not yet) but they have something Foursquare doesn't have and that's simplicity. The site, which was created by Kent Lindstrom, the former CEO of Friendster, was originally designed as an application that would allow people to share their favorite restaurants and shops with friends. Now, they've converted the app into a loyalty program for small businesses.

With the playoffs here, the conversation around the Toronto Raptors is getting uncommonly loud. The team that has so often been ignored is now embroiled in some mild playoff controversy: The Raptors wanted to play the Nets. Or did the Nets want to play the Raptors? It is all very confusing.
On the first count, when asked by a fan which team he wanted to play in the playoffs a month ago during a chat on the web site Reddit, Terrence Ross said, "I want Brooklyn, personally." Nets reserve Andray Blatche took that personally.
"You better be careful what tree you bark up. He better be careful," Blatche told the New York Daily News. "He's probably just saying that because he had a good game against us. But I don't think that's really what he meant or what he really, really wants."
On Thursday, Ross clarified.
"I said I wanted Brooklyn strictly because I've been looking up to those guys since I was younger — Paul Pierce, [Kevin Garnett], Joe Johnson. So getting a chance to play them would be an honour," Ross said. "Everybody kind of ran with it and took their own thing from. It's whatever. That's what happens when you're in the playoffs. … I guess I did kind of get what I asked for. Whatever."
On the other end of things, some people have accused the Nets of trying to increase their odds of playing the Raptors instead of the Bulls by playing their starters limited minutes in their second-last game and no time in the final contest. It worked, obviously, although the Nets have said their primary objective was resting their stars. Indeed, they needed Chicago to lose Wednesday to assure they could play the Raptors.
"Good for them. You know what? We haven't lost one — I know I haven't and I can sense from the players — second of sleep worrying about the Brooklyn Nets," Raptors president and general manager Masai Ujiri said. "At the end of the day if we want to be a good team, we have to play good teams. We're not hoping for anybody. We're in the playoffs. You have to play. In the playoffs, you have to play. They can do whatever they want. We'll be right here."
At the end of the day, Raptors coach Dwane Casey — who pointed out that the Nets needed help to get this result — had the only completely rational point of view.
"If you have to use that as bulletin board material at this time of year, you're in trouble," Casey said. "Again, it should tick you off, but if it's going to make you play harder, get back in transition a little faster, you're in trouble."
Another popular narrative: The Nets have all of the experience and the Raptors have none of it. Everyone associated with the Raptors has admitted it will be a factor, but is brushing back against the notion that it will be the determining factor.
"I mean, it ain't like [playoff basketball] is rocket science or nothing," DeMar DeRozan said. "Everybody keeps talking to me like, bringing it up like it's rocket science or I've got to know trigonometry or something. You just figure it out. You just go out there. I've been playing this game long enough, I've been in the league long enough, been in a lot of situations. So it shouldn't be hard."
For all of his admirable play, Amir Johnson is a lighthearted guy. He is always joking around with a smile on his face, not taking things too seriously.
So, when he came to speak to reporters with a stern look on his face, you knew things were different.
"It's a more serious tone," Johnson said of the atmosphere. "Just telling everybody it's a brand new season. We've just got to pay attention to detail. We're doing that in practice, we're going through a lot of film. It's a very serious approach."
Welcome to the playoffs.

|I have been trying for a number of years to get rid of Peruvian Lily that has taken over my front garden. Nothing has worked so I've emptied out the bed and am going to use Round Up or something similar. I have a lot of tulip bulbs that I have dug up. Can I store them over the winter, plant them in the spring and get flowers this upcoming spring? Any advice would be appreciated.

|Best to plant them again now. You could store them but really don't achieve any benefit from that and replanting in spring is too late to expect any flowering.
Is there another location you could pick? Maybe in containers? IME, many tulips do not return with nearly the same vigor as with their original planting so I tend to replant fresh pretty much every fall and relocate the old bulbs where I don't mind if they produce well or not.
FWIW, even replanting the bulbs in the same area could work depending on when you are anticipating the RoundUp maneuver - it should have no effect on bulbs in the ground........only if foliage is showing.
|First of all, using Roun Up is not a good idea, at least in this case. Round Up works when sprayed on broad leaf weed.
Second: Bulbls like tulips need to overwinter for best results.

|By Peruvian Lilies do you mean Altroemeria? Not a lily and not a bulb....
Coating the foliage with Round Up should kill them...spraying the soil is just wasting your money.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Very happy with the wedding invites I received!! The textured paper is beautiful and feels like great quality and the colours are true to the sample that I originally ordered. Beautiful design and the personal designer was so easy to work with, making all the changes I required so quicky and easily. Highly recommended!"
"If you order the light pink, it is actually Peach. Just beware, color is not as depicted in the images. Beautiful, but very different."
"Fell in love with these immediately and after shopping around, nothing else compared so we bought them. I just did regular paper, nothing fancy, and they look great. We are sending them out with the invite, reply card, and a small note on parchment paper to get more info on our matching website, and are bounding the invite package with burlap ribbon. Looks awesome and "vintage-y" :)"
"I ordered these invitations in brown and tan,I did a custom request to change the color and they came out great. The staff was very helpful and met all my expectations. I also requested them to address the invite from the brides parents which they also did! I was also pleased with the fast shipping! I ordered my save the dates from WPD and wasnt dissapointed. I would highly recomend them!"
"The invitations were beautiful. The shimmer looked great on the umber color and it looks gold. The customer service was great. The designer sarah was very helpful and accommodating. She made things go smooth and was quick to get back to me!!!! I wanted a product that would present my wedding to be regal and elegant. And I believe the product definitely shows this aspect"

I blogged earlier about how chronic, even low-level noise boosts stress levels, which in turn trigger health problems such as hypertension. My awareness of this in my own life caused me recently to embark on a year-long search for silence, both as an antidote to noise and stress, and as a way to change my life generally.
Silence, of course, is the utter absence of input to the hearing system. Thinking about auditory silence got me reflecting on other inputs, and how important it might be to achieve respite from the constant bombardment of information from every quarter: billboards, video, road rage, Jerry Springer, Gap ads. Facebook updates, cellphone calls. Spam, Tweets, Digg; alarms and interruptions of all stripes.
In my search for auditory silence I looked everywhere I could think of. I went 1.6 miles underground to the lowest levels of a nickel mine in northern Ontario. I visited a Trappist monastery in Burgundy. I spent time in complete darkness inside the most perfectly soundproof chamber in the world, in Minneapolis. One of the greatest silences I ever experienced was in the mountains of the southern Sahara, near the border between Algeria and Niger.

Help with BSN Admission @ UIC - page 2
What's the deal... Read More
- 0Feb 6, '05 by GennaverHi Maxs,
I am completing my BA somewhere else this semester and had planned on trying to transfer to UIC for a BSN, (seeing as I thought I had all the pre-reqs complete-at 3.8 gpa).
Thing is, as you said many schools have different pre-reqs, I hadn't completed my organic chemistry.
Although, UIC just got approval in time for this Januarys graduate entry program! The deadline for next January's program is March 1st and I do have the pre-reqs complete for that! No organic chem required.
I hope you get in and cannot see why you wouldn't with such a high gpa for your pre-reqs.
I hope to read later that you are in and also hope to post later that I did too!!
p.s. future UIC hopeful RN Graduate certified in sping 2007
Quote from MaxsHello everyone, I am new here.
Here is the deal, my cumulative GPA is 3.63 My Science GPA is 4.00, I am applying for the fall of 2005, now do I have any chance of getting accepted, if so how small. Or should just give up since I don't have at least 3.95 cumulative GPA. I am really frustrated and I can use some advice right now (you don't have to be nice, the truth pays off in the long run even though it may sound harsh at first). Also, can anyone tell me what the average GPA that gets admitted to UIC's college of nursing is (undergraduate program) every year? I would really appreciate any comments on this manner.
Thank You
- 0May 2, '05 by crazylilkellyThis is for 2004:
Avg GPA--3.52/4.00
AVG science GPA---3.47/4.00
Admission #s:
86/470 admitted in Chicago site
49/90 " '' Urbana site
18 RN/BSN admitted/ 34 apps in all 3 regions
There are four different sites that you can get your BSN from UIC---springfield, chicago, urbana-champaign(that's me) and quad cities. You can only apply to one site though. I talked to the director & they say you get the same quality of schooling as on main campus in Chicago. Plus, employers only care that you got a degree from UIC, not the specific training location. There are of course advantages to the different sites. One may be closer to your home. If you want the city life then Chicago's prime choice. If you want the college life then go UofI urbana-champain (& if you love college basketball---go ILLINI!!!!!)K, hope this helps anyone who reads this (even though I posted way too late for the intial posting). check out uiuc.edu ciao ciao

Rwanda rejects UN experts' report on rebel groupJanuary 23, 2014 @ 11:23 am
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Rwanda has denied U.N. experts' allegations that a Congolese rebel group is recruiting inside its borders, trying to regroup in violation of a peace agreement reached last month.
Deputy ambassador Oliver Nduhungirehe said Thursday that the experts' report given to the Security Council was just "recycling rumors."
The top U.N. envoy in Congo this month said there are "credible reports" that the M23 rebel group is recruiting fighters and resuming activities despite the peace agreement with the Congolese government following its military defeat.
U.N. experts have accused Rwanda's Tutsi-led government of backing the M23 and using it as a proxy force to secure access to eastern Congo's lucrative mining trade. Rwanda's government denies that.
The peace deal requires the M23 to transform itself into a political party.

(Updates with company comment in second paragraph, analyst in sixth.)
Nov. 16 (Bloomberg) -- New World Resources Plc, the biggest Czech producer of coking coal, expects prices and volumes to fluctuate as Europe's debt crisis and slowing economic growth erode demand for the steelmaking material.
"Given the ongoing sovereign debt crises and uncertain macroeconomic environment, we remain cautious on the short-term outlook," NWR said today in a statement. "Although we have a good visibility for the remainder of the year, we believe there is a risk of near-term volatility in both prices and volumes."
Coal producers are among commodity companies adjusting to a decline in customer demand as stagnating economies damp consumption of materials from metals to fuels. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 raw materials has dropped 12 percent from this year's April high amid slowing global growth.
"Our customers are exercising increased levels of prudence," Amsterdam-registered NWR said in the statement. Uncertainty has increased as "markets impatiently await resolution of the various European sovereign-debt crises."
NWR today reported a 30 percent slump in third-quarter net income to 34 million euros ($46 million) and a 26 percent decline in nine-month profit. Year-earlier results had been boosted by a one-time gain from the disposal of a subsidiary and a stronger Czech koruna. Nine-month operating profit rose 30 percent, while sales gained 10 percent, the company said.
Net Misses
"The net results were below our expectations but operating results surpassed the market consensus," said Josef Nemy, an analyst at Komercni Banka AS, the Prague-based unit of Societe Generale SA.
NWR still expects to meet full-year targets to produce 11 million metric tons of coal and sell 10.3 million tons, the company said in the statement. The production mix is 44 percent coking coal, 52 percent thermal coal and 4 percent PCI, or pulverized, coal.
While the outlook for coking-coal prices is "difficult to predict," there's still potential to negotiate higher prices for thermal coal, used in power stations, Chief Financial Officer Marek Jelinek said today by telephone.
NWR rose 1.1 percent to 457.9 pence as of 10:13 a.m. in London trading, after earlier falling as much as 3.4 percent. In Prague, the shares advanced 0.7 percent to 137.69 koruna.
NWR's board this year approved development of the Debiensko mine in Poland, with deposits of 190 million tons of hard coking coal. The company will "break ground" at the mine next month and start extracting coal in 2017, Jelinek said. NWR expects Debiensko to yield 2.5 million tons a year from 2018, he said.
Profitability at the mine will surpass NWR's operations in the Czech Republic because the cost of extraction will be about 70 euros a ton, less than the current 81 euros a ton, he said.

Kamakura Buildings
Walking around in cultural and historical Kamakura, one of Japan's once capitals, I spotted an interesting building that looked to fit in a little better than most of the new builds you see recently. The architect must have anticipated the interest as he had fitted an explanation sheet on the side of the building for interested viewers. This little act alone makes me believe there is quite a lot of love invested in this building, which one vital ingredient in sustainable architecture. Kamakura isn't exactly starved of interesting buildings, a stone's throw away from this little house near Hase Station I found a couple of handsome old fashioned black wooden buildings. I love how Japanese cities (at least the best ones) are so eminently walkable! To be a walkable city, it is not enough to focus on good sidewalks and street crossings, it is also important to make the buildings so interesting that you actually want to walk there, just to explore!
This Weekend – Shibuya Konnohachimangu Matsuri
If you are in Tokyo this weekend and want to experience the fun, music and bustle of a traditional festival you could pick the grand Konnohachimangu Matsuri (渋谷金王八幡宮例大祭) which takes place on both Saturday and Sunday in and around the grand shrine in Shibuya. The festival has everyting: gorgeous and energetic Awaodori at the shrine itself, huge lit paper sculptures of the Nebuta at the Center Gai, omikoshi careening all over Shibuya, folk singing and tons of other events. Even rowing gangs of taiko drummer and impromptu karaoke contests!
There are also plenty of other festivals taking place this weekend like the Hikawa Shrine Matsuri which starts tonight in Akaska, or the Ark Hills Autumn festival also in Akasaka, or the Ikebukuro Brazilian festival, or the Sakurashinmachi Nebuta festival tomorrow.
These photos from all around the festival area is from last year's festival. Shibuya is an interesting place and packed with people even on normal days, add the weekend shoppers, the foreign tourists and a full on traditional festival and you get a very interesting mix of people and purposes! The three day long weekend means that many festivals carry on until Monday the 15th, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to visit as many festivals as you want!
Motomishima Jinja – Uguisudani
Earlier this month I visited the tiny Motomishima Jinja, a shrine hidden in the middle of Uguisudani's maze-like streets around the south exit of JR Uguisudani Station. Despite being a stop on the famous Yamanote line the station is amazingly tiny and easily overlooked. I arrived early for the annual festival of the shrine so I had a bit of time to explore the shrine itself.
The shrine is most famous for being dedicated to one of the seven gods of fortune, the originally Taoist deity Jurojin whose symbol is a fan, a deer and a scroll. It also enshrines the god Oyamatsumi (大山祇命), the older brother of the legendary goddess Amaterasu. He is a god of war, mountains and seas. The shrine is also dedicated to Izanagi (伊佐那岐命), on of the two original gods that created the Japanese islands according to the Japanese creation mythology.
The shrine is a combination of at least two older shrines associated to the villages that used to be located in the valley. It was founded in 1710 and renamed, but the original buildings were destroyed in World War 2 and only rebuilt in 1966.
If you are doing the mini-pilgrimage to honor the seven gods of fortune, this shrine is a must visit!
Sawai – Tokyo Countryside
It is easy to forget that all of Tokyo is not yet claimed by concrete and cars. There are still some very rural areas in the western parts of the metropolis for example. One of greenest areas in Tokyo is Ome City, which is only an hour from central Tokyo on the JR Chuo line and not even the westernmost part of Tokyo. Some of the orange and silver Chuo line trains go all the way out to Ome City where you will need to change trains to hit the real countryside. I went to Sawai, the sixth station on Ome Line (sixth after Ome, 19th after Tachikawa), a small station that is used by about 275 people daily. Although this part of Tokyo has been connected to central Tokyo since the building of a national road in 1603, it still feels very rural.
The post office has the old style post box you do not see in bigger cities much any more. The station is usually unmanned (but not on busier weekends) and it is located on the mountainside. The main attraction of Sawai is the old sake factory but I also enjoyed a meal of soba and wasabi in the sake factory garden, next to and overlooking the river. I took a whole lot of very unartistic snapshots to try and capture the feel of this place. Even after having lived so long in Tokyo it still amazes me every time that these kinds of places still exist so close to the biggest city on Earth. I can recommend you visit the countryside around Ome City if you ever feel stuck in all the concrete that is Tokyo. It is a perfect day trip or even half a day trip if you are quick about it.

About the ManufacturerThe Homer Laughlin China Company has been a leader in the design and manufacture of food service and retail china products for over 130 years. Best known for the classic and timeless Fiesta®, The Homer Laughlin China Company manufactures china products in shapes, designs and patterns that continue to delight and satisfy customers. Visitors to The Homer Laughlin China Company and Retail Outlet can expect to find unsurpassed craftmanship, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and the timeless quality of enduring products.
The Homer Laughlin China Company owes its origin to a two kiln pottery on the banks of the Ohio River in East Liverpool, Ohio. Built in 1871 by Homer Laughlin and his brother Shakespeare, the Laughlin Brothers Pottery was one of the first whiteware plants in the country. The turning point in the artistic focus of the company came in 1927 with the addition of noted ceramist Frederick Hurton Rhead. His design vision would culminate in the 1936 introduction of Fiesta®, Homer Laughlin's best selling line, and today one of the most collected china products in the world.
With the introduction of fully vitrified china in 1959, Homer Laughlin was able to participate in the restaurant/hotel markets. Homer Laughlin concentrated its efforts on the food service market and continued to add new shapes, patterns and decorating techniques throughout the 60's and 70's. The reintroduction of Fiesta® in 1986 as a high-fire, fully vitrified, lead free product redefined the standard for both food service and retail china products.
The Homer Laughlin China Company has produced an estimated 25,000 china patterns throughout its 133 year history. A heritage rich in American tradition and innovation has given Homer Laughlin China the fortitude to look to the next century with anticipation of meeting greater challenges.

I see there is no setting to turn the monitor off after the screen is locked unlike the one for screen locking which can be set to act after the monitor has been turned off.
I do not want the system to automatically lock the screen however, so I only want it the screen to turn off after some time after the screen has been manually locked.
Is there a way to automatically turn the monitor off after the screen has automatically locked?

This short midweek micro is an experiment in using the Enhanced Podcast, so the best way to listen and view the photos, is with iTunes or a capable iPod.
Please give us feedback about how this podcast played for you. Does it play normally on your portable audio player?_________________Cachin' with my sweetie...

I like it a lot! More, please!
It worked fine in iTunes for me, but Windows Media Player would only play the audio with the "Halo 3" podcacher logo. I don't own an iPod, so I couldn't test that part.
Any way of getting a better quality picture on an enhanced podcast?
Great job!_________________aka "GreendaleSRT4"
Well that's a first for me: I listened to the micro while I still had half of the full length show left to go.
Worked great in iTunesclicking on the pic in the lower left of my screen brought up an enlarged version, and the show was great fun to watch.
I see you introduce all of your guests (like my sig item) to In-n-out!.

Sonny - you asked for info on how this show worked on other players. First of all, when I saved it to my hard drive, it saves as an "M4A" format. I've seen this before with other podcasts and I knew that I would be able to play it through my Apple Quicktime (7.3) player. Sure enough, it played just fine and even with the pictures. I did this through my work computer. I don't have iTunes installed on there (for obvious reasons) but I thought that the Quicktime player would not be a problem. It was nice to have you describe the pictures as they were being displayed - this might be something you want to do with future 12 of 12's. Thanks and Keep on cachin!_________________

Just played it fine using Quicktime on my desktop. All of the photos played just fine. I will try it on my Palm TX today using TCPMP and Pocket Tunes. I've played m4a files before on TCPMP so I'm sure it will work fine but I have a feeling even the audio won't run on Pocket Tunes.
I don't think most mp3 players (beside ipods) play m4a files but I will test it out on all my devices and get back to you. BTW, I really enjoyed being able to follow along with the pictures and I hope this is something you will do in the future. Perhaps an occasional Enhanced podcast could be released only for monthly subscribers. It might encourage more folks to subscribe to the Podcast. Just a thought.

Yay! This is exactly what I had in mind when I suggested this! Interestingly (and I didn't even realize this when I suggested it) the photos do NOT play on an iPod Touch. The show that I referenced when I brought this up is one that I usually watch/listen to at work so I do it through iTunes, but I synched your show this morning planning to listen to it on the train as usual and was surprised to see that the pics didn't work. Interesting.... Still, a great addition to your bag of tricks for the show!_________________My Blog!

Worked fine in iTunes but nothing other than audio on my iPod Classic 80, which i just got for Christmas (yahooo!) .
Oh yeah, PS I missed the micros that you used to do every now and then so any time you want to start them up again is AOK with me._________________

Worked fine in Quicktime but I don't normally listen that way. My Sandisk Sansa does not support AAC and using enhanced podcasts limits the availability to your audience. I would suggest distributing both formats if your going to do it.

A federal appeals court has upheld a judge's ruling granting a taxpayer-funded sex change operation for a Massachusetts transgender inmate serving a life sentence for murder.
Michelle Kosilek, who was born a man, was convicted in the 1990 murder of wife Cheryl Kosilek.
Kosilek sued the Massachusetts Department of Correction after prison officials refused to grant her request for sex-reassignment surgery. A federal judge ruled in 2012 that the surgery is the "only adequate treatment" for Kosilek's gender-identity disorder.
Kosilek now lives as a woman in a men's prison.
State prison officials appealed the ruling to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court ruled Friday that the 64-year-old Kosilek is entitled to the surgery.
Prison officials argued that there are legitimate safety concerns of protecting her in prison if she has the surgery.

Some journalists, family researchers, and government policy makers bemoan the lower rates of marriage as women and men wait longer until they get married and more people stay single until later in life. This kind of thinking suggests that what society needs is more marriage.
From the Bush/Cheney years to the present time, millions of dollars in government money have been diverted to programs encouraging marriage and teaching basic relational communication skills. More marriage might be a good goal, but only if those marriages are also healthy and sustainable. Kids growing up today need more examples of unsustainable marriages like they need two extra pairs of lips on the soles of their feet. We don't need more marriages as much as we need more good marriages.
Working to increase the proportion of married people in the United States would be like saying, "People aren't forming enough small businesses—we need to teach them some basic tools so they can get more businesses going." It doesn't do any good to teach a few basic business skills and then offer some business-friendly tax incentives if these small businesses will soon fail because of a lack of long-term strategic planning. Telling young people to get married to improve their economic prospects is like pushing them off a cliff without a parachute and then being surprised when they crash and burn.

Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
I have a newly installed 6500 wireless. Once it goes to sleep for some time (on the order of hours), it refuses to wake up. The power button and not other front panel button will bring it back to life, nor is it accessible via wireless. Only a power disconnect reboot will bring it back to life.
Running Linksys WRT150n locked in 802.11 g mode, WPA PSK TKIP, DHCP, uPNP disables, MAC filtered.
USB disconnected, DSL Frontier, filter in place.
Talked to the help desk for over an hour. Talking to the cat was about as effective as the help I received. Was told I shouldn't plug the printer into a commercial surge protector; I should only plug it directly into the wall. I did learn the 9# power button reset sequence.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
When the printer doesn't wake-up, can you ping it or open its internal web page by browsing to its IP address?
Can we try a series of experiments?
- First, try changing your wireless-network's security from TKIP to AES.
- If the problem persists, restore security to TKIP and try changing the WRT150N's mode from 802.11g to mixed (802.11b/g).
- Finally, if the problem continues, temporarily use WEP instead of WPA-PSK.
BTW -- MAC-filtering is not an effective security measure and is more trouble than it's worth. This article give a good explanation.

Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
When the printer doesn't wake up, no ping, no webpage, no fax answer, no nothing. In the interim, I did some searching and found a similar problem on other HP printers with the solution to set a static IP in the printer. So, I statically assigned the IP in the router and in the printer, and after I did that, so far, so good. The printer seems to be able to wake up when asleep overnight, etc. I'll have to give it some time and see how it does. Unfortunately, I don't know the minimum period of time caused the problem - just at least hours.
I can't go to AES since some of the laptop cards I have don't support it. All have 802.11 g cards and I've found the g-only setting makes the router the most stable. For some reason, the router doesn't seem to handle mixed n/g/b very well. It tends to lock up.
I understand the limitations of MAC filtering, and it does a nice job of keeping out the casual interloper, so I use it.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
If the static IP address as solved your issue, then there might be something odd about the WRT150N's DHCP server. Also, some wireless-routers disconnect devices that are not being used after a period of time. I'll check the lab to see if we have a WRT150N so that I can duplicate your issue.
One thing to check is that you're running the latest WRT150N firmware. From the Linksys website, the latest firmware was released in July 2007 (version 1.01.9 or 1.0.02 depending on your HW version). You might consider updating your router as needed.
On the subject of MAC-filtering, since you've protected your wireless-network with WPA-PSK, MAC-filtering doesn't provide any additional security to your wireless-network. The primary reason is that the MAC addresses in the 802.11 frames are not encrypted and therefore visible to anyone with commonly available tools (for Microsoft users, try Netmon).
Here's my analogy regarding the value of MAC-filtering: You've purchase and installed a high-quality front door and lock (WPA-PSK) for your home. And then to add a bit more security, you put a strip of masking tape (MAC-filtering) across the door jamb. A thief would simply remove the tape (spoof one of the MAC addresses on your network) before working on the lock. In this case, did the tape add any security?

Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
I have a similar problem. Am using an iMac with 10.6.1 (snow leopard). When the HP 6500 is awake, I can perform all printing and scanning functions.
When the HP 6500 is asleep, however, nothing will work...I have to power down and up, then stuff works.
The printer is connected wirelessly using Apple's Airport Extreme router (Bonjour). Everything has the latest software/firmware.
Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
One side effect we've noticed with Apple's latest FW upgrade to their Airport Extreme wireless-routers is that our printers no longer get a default gateway IP address. This should only affect those printers that make outbound connections to the internet, as a some of our printers do.
When you set a static IP address in our printers, you'll need to set the subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0) and the default gateway IP (usually the base IP address of your network which is the printer's IP address with the last octet to 1).
I'm not sure if this is the issue you're seeing with your Officejet 6500, though setting a static IP address doesn't hurt as long as the printer is always left on.

Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
I did the set the static address (10.0.1.200), and it seems to work OK, both printing and scanning.
The power button is steadily lighted...does this mean the printer is not really sleeping?
Also, after every print job, it goes through some mechanical routine. Is it cleaning the heads? If so, doesn't that waste ink?
Re: Officejet 6500 wireless sleep mode no wake up
I just got off of chat with an HP Tech to ask about this problem. I bought the printer last night at Costco.
Here is what they told me -
Press Setup
Select Preferences
Select "Set Prompte Delay Time"
Select OFF
The tech - Karley - claims this is to stop it from going into sleep mode. I can find no documentation to support that anywhere. When I asked her for documentation, she ended the chat.
I have changed the setting - and will wait for my machine to possibly go to sleep to see if it works.
Here's the chat transcript.
Alan Rowland : ok
Karley : As I was reviewing the details, I came to know that you are using HP Officejet 6500 wireless All in One Printer E709nwith Operating system Windows xp . Am I correct?
Alan Rowland : yes...
Karley : Thank you for the confirmation.
Karley : Alan, press the setup button on your printer.
Alan Rowland : ok - can you list several steps at at time - because I have to step away from this pc and walk over to the printer each time. let's save a few steps
Alan Rowland : if you dont mind
Karley : Sure.
Alan Rowland : ok - next?
Karley : Let me walk you through the steps to be performed.
Alan Rowland : ok - please proceed when ready
Karley : Sure, Alan.
Karley : Thank you for staying online.
Alan Rowland : no problem just got this printer last night -but need to get it working properly as soon as possible
Karley : I understand you Alan!
Karley : Press the setup button on the printer--->Preferences--->Set Prompt Delay Time .
Alan Rowland : got it
Karley : May I know the options you are getting under Set Prompt Delay Time .
Alan Rowland : normal off slow fast
Karley : Please make it to "OFF".
Alan Rowland : ok
Alan Rowland : i thought this was a setting for the fax service. I am not using fax, only printing.
Karley : Alan, this setting is not for the fax only.
Alan Rowland : ok
Karley : Have you set the Prompt Delay Time to OFF.
Alan Rowland : yes i have
Alan Rowland : long time ago
Alan Rowland : so - you are saying that this will prevent the officejet 6500 from going into sleep mode from now on. Can you confirm that please?
Karley : Yes you are right Alan.
Alan Rowland : interesting - i can find no documentation in the manual or on your website to support that feature. Where is it?
Karley : The session Id of this chat is 2873396 , In the case this problem persist please use this session id as reference,when you login again to the "HP Total Chat Support" this will help us to serve you faster and better.

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- The top Democrat on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee warned Congress' deficit-reduction supercommittee today against further cuts to the Pentagon's budget.
Representative Adam Smith of Washington state sent his recommendations to the supercommittee and pressed the 12-member panel to "avoid cuts to national defense accounts" beyond the roughly $450 billion in budget reductions already projected over the next decade.
The panel must avoid "any deficit reduction recommendations that might prematurely force the DOD to make what may prove to be precarious strategic adjustments," Smith wrote, referring to the Department of Defense.
Smith said the supercommittee must instead consider increasing federal revenue.
"Including revenues in an overall balanced approach to deficit reduction is the best course of action for the committee," he said.
Smith's position on avoiding further defense cuts is similar to that of Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, the California Republican who is chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. While McKeon said he opposed increases in revenue, such as taxes, he said he would support boosting revenue if there were no other way to prevent cuts in defense.
