In case you haven't noticed, the Carpenter Center has come of age. And this year, the (if not venerable at least well on its way) venue launches into its 20th season with a docket organizers say is the best, most eclectic and diverse year ever.
And with a slate of events that spans the artistic globe from the hip to the eclectic, from old school to upcoming, there's something for almost anyone.
The upcoming season features events and acts that range from influential Hall of Fame rocker Dave Mason of Traffic fame to the St. Martin of the Fields Chamber ensemble to puppet shows by the Mermaid Theater to the consistently sold-out political satire of the Capitol Steps.
Michele Roberge is the executive director of the Carpenter Center for Performing Arts on the Cal State Long Beach campus. About the milestone 20th season, she says: "It really indicates we've attained a certain legitimacy. We're not teenagers anymore. We're getting to the point where people can trust our performances will be at a certain caliber they've come to expect."
In the 2014-15 season, the Carpenter Center will present 29 performances, not including the plethora of events by community, school and resident companies, such as Musical Theatre West.
There is still one as yet unannounced "really big show" that will serve at the center's 20th-anniversary special. Details will be announced late in April.
Last year, Roberge said the center had its biggest season to date and most sellouts, with more than 22,000 people attending 24 performances at the 1,074-seat venue. Overall, more than 200,000 people go to the Carpenter Center each year.
The season kicks off Sept. 20 with Mason, who co-founded the influential if short-lived band Traffic and has played and recorded with many stars, from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton. He is best known for "Feelin' Alright," which was recorded by Traffic and covered by Joe Cocker, Grand Funk Railroad and others.
The series are:
• Dance, with well-known dancer-choreographers and their companies staging new works;
• Wit and wisdom, with comedians and performers with wit and insight;
• Sunday concerts, with four very different bands with music ranging from Gaelic to an Abba tribute;
• Wow, with physical feats that amaze and amuse; and
• Cabaret series: music in a more intimate setting.
Roberge said the theater is also bringing back what the team calls its "greatest hits," or performances that consistently draw the best responses.
These include the Capitol Steps; the Na Lei Hulu I Ka Wekiu Hawaiian dance troupe; NPR's Ira Glass; Mummenschanz, a renowned, zany Swiss human puppetry show; and the always popular laser show with Pink Floyd music.
Information on tickets, subscriptions and special deals is available by calling 562-985-7000 or visiting carpenterarts.org.

I Feel Your Pain ... No, ReallyDecember 22, 2009 6:37 am | News | Comments
If you've ever thought that you literally feel other people's pain, you may be right. A brain-imaging study suggests that some people have true physical reactions to others' injuries. Using an imaging technique called functional MRI, UK researchers found evidence that people who say they feel vicarious pain do, in fact, have heightened activity in pain-sensing brain regions upon witnessing another person being hurt.

Inaugural Blogpoll... Coming
My computer, showing all the incredible timing of a Michigan safety trying to tackle Deandra Cobb, unceremoniously died last night at about 11 PM, wiping out the draft version of the Blogpoll. The good news is that It was mostly IFRAMEs referencing stuff already on the interweb, so not much was lost. But I do have to reconstitute it. It'll be up in a bit.
Football: Safety Disaster Pending
5'9" freshman CB Brandon Harrison is now 5'9" freshman S Brandon Harrison according to Lloyd Carr (and GBW). This is probably not a good sign. Though practice buzz has various players impressing at CB (Charles Stewart, Morgan Trent, Johnny Sears, and Harrison have all gotten positive pub), no safeties have gotten much mention except for Lloyd Carr saying that Brandent Engelmon has had a "lights-out" fall. Harrison's move means one of three things:
- Harrison just isn't that good.
- Mundy's shoulder injury is seriously serious.
- We're screwed.
I don't think it's the first. It could be the second. Mundy has had his shoulder troubles since last year and he absolutely must be more effective for Michigan's defense to show a semblance of competence. If he's afraid to tackle because of his shoulder, he may not see a ton of time at FS. Three? Sure, we'll go with that. Screwed. We're going to need Harrison to play safety. Even if he does well, his move implies bad things for the existing safeties.
Safety: the big flaming hole on the entire team. The nice thing is that it will be hard to give up another eight 60+ yard touchdowns like we did in 2004. So we've got that going for us.
Also: Avant and Pat Massey are captains, as expected.
Meet The Fightin' Saviors
The new "Harris Interactive" poll has released its list of 114 voters(AR). (HT to Sporting Fools). Voters who jump out at me fall into one of three categories:
Disgraced Cheaters
Lou Holtz
Andy Geiger
George Perles
Has-Been Coaches
John Mackovic
Gerry DiNardo
Earle Bruce
Bump Elliott(!)
You've Got To Be Kidding
Rocket Ismail (Did this guy legally change his name or something?)
Terry Bradshaw
Pat Haden
The average age of the voters who aren't ex-players I wouldn't trust to add two and two together appears to be 145. mgoblog's projected top five:
- Notre Dame
- Army
- Colonial Williamsburg
- Jamestown University
- Tippecanoe and Tyler too!
Watch out for the Williamsburgians. Only half of them died from smallpox last winter.
Unverified Voracity 8/22
Hell full of frozen flying pigs: Lloyd Carr opened up practice to the media on Friday, sending local media into a tizzy. The stated reason:
"I want to be popular with all of you," Carr joked Friday.
Good luck with that, Lloyd. Information coming out of the Fort indicates that Brandent Engelmon does appear to be the guy who will start the year at SS. Smart and in the right place at the right time is the rep on Engelmon, music so beautiful to my ears that I wonder if I've died and gone to heaven (quick check: Tressel around? Yep. Okay. Not heaven). Adrian Arrington is the surprising name being thrown out as the #3 wide receiver, though in retrospect he was the guy chosen to not redshirt. Fullback sounds like a bit of a mess. Hopefully Malone will look at the copious non-fullback talent on the roster and decide that lead-blocking is for sissies.
Fifth-year senior Leo Henige appears to have the upper hand at LG. If healthy.
IBFC unverified some voracity of its own in a roundup post that covers a lot of ground that I won't duplicate here. More warranted Matt Hayes bashing can be found. Also a defense of CFN, which I would like to respond to:
But I just love that they believe there is no team, no player and no position that is so irrelevant it isn't worth writing a full-page article about it. Looking for info on the Memphis offensive line? Here you go. How is the North Texas linebacking corps shaping up? Keep an eye on Maurice Holman.
Because this is exactly the kind of thing I hate about CFN. They cover all 100-whatever teams, sure, but the depth of said coverage is strictly kiddie-pool. I try to be a Marinas Trench of Michigan information, an authority in a specialized field. Given what I read at CFN I have my doubts that they know anything not directly listed in a press release. They write one blurb on every starter in the country and then recycle it a hundred different times in various incredibly retarded lists of top this and top that. In the previews I saw not one unit was ranked anything less than a 6 of 10. Literally every unit in the nation is above average. They rank and discuss everything and thus condemn themselves to never really talking about anything.
We're number #4 (again) in the AP Top 25, which has a total of five Boi From Troy-infuriating non-USC first place votes, four for Texas and one for... Louisville? Sweet mother of mercy. And get the rationale behind that first place vote:
Joe Giglio of The News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C., voted Louisville No. 1 after examining the schedules for all BCS conference teams. The Cardinals moved to the Big East this season.
""Louisville was the only one that I came up with as going undefeated,"" he said.
I was going to thoroughly smite this person's logic, but Section Six beat me to it... and, quite frankly (HATE YOU HATE YOU HATE YOU), we've got a couple guys in the blogpoll voting Auburn #2 because they "deserve it," so we should attend to our own house before throwing rocks into those of others, no matter how brittle their glass walls. Though I will hurl a couple of well placed ones at ESPN for posting a poll minus two teams but in full possession of not one but two "TEXAS AM"s, as Struggling Joe pointed out.
Speaking of dumb Louisville-related stuff, the Courier-Journal of said city has, uh, let's say jumped the gun:
Bigger than Michigan now?
[Former UM lineman Doug] James wanted no part of Louisville. He signed with Michigan. You could play in Rose Bowls and play for national titles at Michigan. Today you don't have to make many calls to find experts predicting U of L will have a better season than Michigan.
Cute. Call us in, like, 120 years. (And did this guy not check the recruiting out of his own state last year? Top three guys will all don winged helmets this fall.)
What is with Penn State and really, really weird ways to get suspended? First you had the whole EZ Smith shooting hundreds of arrows into a wall thing. Now comes word that three Lions, most prominently sophomore linebacker Dan Connor, are suspended for making prank phone calls to a retired PSU assistant coach. Fanblogs has all the details. Connor's suspension is "indefinite" which is usually code for "until we play someone we can lose to." Since it's Penn State we're talking about here, look for Connor to go against South Florida. (Sorry, 50YL, cheap shot.)
Fanblogs also has a hard hitting expose on Purdue's recent practice popsicle break.
Les Miles, UM Coach Noncandidate. At least if the story excerpted by Paul Westerdawg means what it thinks it means:
Several players said the day [new OK State Coach] Gundy replaced Les Miles as head coach he established guidelines that players attend class, be on time for team meetings, adhere to workout routines, represent the program well and play hard."
Example #3,890 of "Blogs Will Change The World" can be found over at Blog Maverick, which is Mavs owner Mark Cuban's pale mgoblog imitation (just kidding, Mark, please don't put a hit out on me). He's wrapped up in some boring business thing and was interviewed over email about it. The resulting New York Times headline:
Mark Cuban Is Mad (Again). But Why?
The article portrays Cuban as really, really mad. Cuban responds by reprinting the entire email exchange he had with this NYT guy on Blog Maverick. The verdict? Busted. Totally. Here's a representative sample of Cuban's responses:
1) Clearly the sale price of register.com was lower than you and many other investors - some who may have followed your lead into the stock - believed the company would be sold for. Why did you expect it to be sold for so much more?
Its worth much more. A simple analysis to compare it to comparable companies show the expenses clearly out of whack.
2) Are you surprised the Yahoos and Googles of the world never bid?
Not at all. Its not their business. Register.com has a legacy business to build on and cash flow to return to investors if it gets its expenses in line. Thats not the type of business they go after.
3) If you think it's such an undervalued business, why didn't you make
a bid yourself?
Im not in a position to run the company. My
goal was to work with the new board that would have been voted in during the next shareholder meeting in a couple weeks to help the company
4) Do you think the auction was somehow rigged?
Rigged ? I dont know if it was rigged, but i think the board definitely incented themselves to sell the company. There is so little board and management ownership( the only board member with substantial ownership filed a proxy leaning against the deal ) that their greatest reward came from change of control bonuses they gave themselves. Plus I think much of the board just wants out.
Thats not conducive for doing whats best for the company.
And here's the intro to the article:
MARK CUBAN, the entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, has a reputation for screaming like a deranged fan from the sidelines during games. He has been fined more than $1 million by the National Basketball Association for his antics since he bought the team five years ago.
Now, Mr. Cuban, who became a billionaire by selling Broadcasting.com to Yahoo in 1999, has focused his infamous bark on a corporate boardroom. The target of his anger is the board of a small Internet company called Register.com, which sells domain names (for example, yourcompany.com) to people and small businesses. He may deserve the Wall Street equivalent of a technical foul for his latest outburst.
SWEET FANCY MOSES! I was literally LOL at that. OMG. O. M. G.
The moral: keep your magic spinny device at home when you're dealing with a public figure with his own media platform.
And, finally... There's a new Soonerfark Internet hero. Check him out with the Ambiguously Gay Ohio State Linebacking Corps:
Hockey: Get Used To It
This is, for all intents and purposes, TJ Hensick's senior year. He will not be back in 2006 unless he sustains a severe injury. And while I could have said this about any Michigan scoring machine at any time in the past, oh, six or seven years and been mind-meltingly correct, the new CBA virtually guarantees that no player with a potential NHL future ever sees a senior year of college hockey. The Boston Globe explains:
The collective bargaining agreement mandates that college players, if unsigned by Aug. 15 of their graduation year, are rendered unrestricted free agents. With that kind of leverage looming out there, NHL clubs, rather than getting backed into a negotiating corner with 22- and 23-year-olds, will be far more motivated to turn kids pro a year or two ahead of that strike date.
Pro teams will do everything they can to avoid losing their draft picks to free agency. They will try to sign players immediately. Players have powerful incentives to sign, too: the NHL-mandated rookie cap expires three years after a player signs, and the free agency clock starts ticking soon after that player arrives in the NHL. Previously it was largely based on age. That's how Jeff Tambellini went from 100% staying to 100% gone over the course of two weeks--there really were powerful economic forces pushing him out the door.
I expect a lot more Andy Hilberts in the future. Remember when Boston had Hilbert "pencilled in" their opening day lineup four years ago? Well, pencils have orange rubbery things on them:
Four years into his tenure with the Bruins (most of it in Providence), Andy Hilbert has asked for a trade. ''He's asked to be moved," confirmed Boston GM Mike O'Connell, ''and I've told him we'll do our best to accommodate him." Hilbert had 79 points in 79 games with the Baby B's last season, and has played only 43 games with the varsity since leaving Michigan early for his shot at the show.
Would Hilbert's career have been any less spectacular had he stayed another season or two at Michigan? Probably not. It would be hard to do less in the NHL than Andy Hilbert. But he wanted to go and Boston wanted him to come, and there you have it. Four years in Providence, Rhode Island, getting paid a fraction of his contract (they're two-way, dontcha know) to play in the AHL. That's where I suggest getting season tickets if you want to see Michigan seniors in action: the AHL.
Bonus depression note! Junior forward Mike Brown is probably gone. Mysterious USCHO poster "woogie," who correctly forecast the unexpected departure of Dwight Helminen, has resurfaced and claimed that Vancouver has signed Brown. Given the track record of both Woogie and rumors of Michigan hockey departures in general, I figure that there's a 99% chance Brown is the new Hilbert.
Impact? Let's just say I won't be mailing Jeff Tambellini's dad more than one or two dead cats. Brown was a penalty magnet last year in the new no-obstruction (and sometimes no-check) NCAA, and the same people who always say dumb things about muckers like Brown and how the NCAA game is "not suited" to their skills are saying them again. Given that Michigan has an abundance of similar forwards coming in, his loss isn't extensively painful. The third line probably got marginally worse.
The Brown signing does presage really nasty things in the future. Brown is a mid-level prospect coming off a terrible year. The reaction? Sign that kid up! Great. Can we get those Jenks and Czarnik kids on campus, like, now?
Unverified Voracity 8/19
Michigan article etc: Pitts on Max Martin. Michigan is QB U. No doubt about it. The djl Zone talks some Northern Illinois in the course of previewing the MAC. I don't expect the Huskies to seriously challenge Michigan--their power running attack is basically the exact wrong offense to run against Jim Herrmann--but they aren't going to roll over and die like Notre Dame or Eastern Michigan.
Thank God we have a 12th game so that we can squeeze that third MAC team on the schedule. CSTV has an article that slams major colleges for playing way too many games against teams without a chance that I agree wholeheartedly with. I'm completely depressed by the mad dash for cash being undertaken by athletic departments across the country. Part of that is undoubtedly due to Title IX mandating a vast array of nonrevenue women's sports that the football programs of successful schools inevitably end up supporting. But a far greater drive for revenue is created by a frankly repellent tendency to skirt the letter of the NCAA law by building lavish palaces reserved largely for athletes that further obliterate the quainter-by-the-second "student" part of "student-athlete." (Though ND, UGA, Texas, and Oregon are cited by the links above, there's no school in the country with big-time aspirations that is not guilty of the same thing, including Michigan.) At what point to you step back and say this is excessive? About ten years ago would have been good.
I'd love for the NCAA to step in with a hammer, mandate six home games maximum, outlaw megadorms and athlete-exclusive palaces, and generally take an evil socialist approach to the whole thing. But they have neither the jurisdiction nor the inclination to do any such thing, so I get to spend hundreds of dollars a year on tickets for games against various directional Michigan schools and the kids playing the game seem less like students and more like loosely affiliated mercenaries every day. Yay.
Warren St. John pointed out an article from across the Atlantic on that other sort of football that's blunt in its assessment: "Football fans are idiots." That's hard to dispute when this fall I will be looking at an $80 ticket that says "Eastern Michigan" on it.
Big Ten turmoil continues at Michigan State and Iowa. MSU redshirt freshman RB Tony Howard has been granted his release and will transfer. Impact is near nil. With Jason Teague and Jehuu Caulcrick 1-2 on the depth chart and incoming freshmen AJ Jimmerson and Javon Ringer expected to contribute, Howard was probably no better than fifth on the depth chart.
More relevant is Iowa cornerback Antwan Allen's situation. Allen was convicted (noreg C&P)of a pretty serious-sounding assault charge:
The 22-year-old was convicted of hitting a man on the side of the head, knocking him unconscious, and breaking his jaw. The victim, Maurice Payne, is a City High School graduate and current Iowa State University student.
As a result it's likely he will be suspended for part of the year. How much is up to the University and Kirk Ferentz.
Faithful Rivals posters dug up a little bit on the Children's Hockey Crusade that signed up yesterday. As expected, they're amongst the top players their age.
CNNSI's John Walters outed himself as a Domer in his latest Campus Blitz. He also makes an impressive leap from "David Givens caught five passes in a Super Bowl" to "Weis E. Coyote is 31337." Not to be missed is this textbook example of setting yourself up for massive disappointment:
Last year Notre Dame scored as many points as its opposition over the course of the season, 289. Although they were only 81st nationally in total offense and 72nd in scoring offense, anyone who watched the first 20 minutes of the Southern California game witnessed what this offense can do when it's in sync.
Uh... 20 minutes of a game you lost by 31 or an entire season? Which of these things is more indicative of reality... hmmm.
I, of course, plan on doing this exact same thing when discussing the Michigan defense.
Elsewhere in the MSM, the Sporting News preview with the incendiary quote about Michigan from an opposing coach has finally been posted on the Interwebs. FTR, the quote:
Michigan doesn't show up every week. I think they're pompous, over-recruited, arrogant-type kids. Who has better players: Michigan or Ohio State? Michigan. The Michigan kid has more talent, but the Ohio State kid plays harder. ...
Everyone assumes that this was Tiller or JLS, but I note that the article makes no mention of "head" coach. It's probably some assistant somewhere. More notable is how dumb Matt Hayes comes off, regurgitating every piece of conventional wisdom he can get his hands on:
Ron Zook, meet the physical and punishing Big Ten. Now ditch that sissy offense, and recruit some tough linebackers at Illinois. ...
Why can't Purdue win close games? It's not a mental hurdle or bad breaks that have caused the Boilers to lose 14 games by a touchdown or less over the past three years. It's the lack of a consistent running game. You close out games by jamming the ball down a defense's throat -- not with a five-wide offense. ...
And then topping himself with total incoherence:
How hard will Glen Mason kick himself when Minnesota RB Laurence Maroney runs for 2,000 yards this season? Maroney was misused for two straight seasons -- having to share time with Marion Barber -- and still reached 1,000 yards each year. ...
Uh... yes, let's rip on one of the country's best rushing attacks for not rushing well enough and then imply that Glen Mason's going to be pissed if Maroney cracks 2,000 yards this year all whilst pretending that Minnesota's struggles have anything to do with letting a very effective Marion Barber III carry the ball and keep both backs fresh. Hayes deserves every mouthbreathing email he receives and responds to condescendingly.

Staffs dont speak English. Even though I just needed very basic help, they didnt understand what I needed. they are very strange... they lock the door all the times that make me feel that this hostel doesnt open. I rang the bell, sometimes they didnt answer which made me wait in front of the door for 5 minutes. Another thing is that they gave a call asking me if I need breakfast. Seems like they dont wanna prepare breakfast if anyo e doesnt want to have. Very cold inside.Read More

I was struck by a recent news article which reported that in New York State, Upper East Side, New York City, Assemblyman Micah Kellner, has introduced legislation suggesting that New York adopt an official state dog. The surprise to me was that this official dog was not to be a breed but rather the "rescue dog." Republican Senator Joseph E. Robach is the co-sponsor of what seems to be developing into a very popular bill. The rescue dogs that they speak of are not search and rescue dogs, or the dogs used to try to rescue survivors from natural disasters, but rather dogs that have been rescued and adopted from animal shelters. Apparently both men are animal lovers who have adopted and fostered rescue dogs.
Assemblyman Kellner is quoted as saying, "Shelter and rescue animals are unconditionally loving and loyal pets that are eager to become beloved members of a family. It's time for New York State to throw these dogs a bone. New Yorkers are scrappy, just like rescue dogs. We often have a bone to pick. And a lot of us are mutts."

In memory of our founder, David E. Davis, Jr., Automobile Magazine editors are choosing our ten favorite American Driver columns and will be posting one each day over the next two weeks.
Mr. Dennis J. Walker writes from Vernon Hills, Illinois, to tell me that "many people" were laughing at me behind my back at the Monterey Historic Automobile Races because I was wearing a white suit with a black Cogito Ergo Zoom T-shirt, which, he suggested, made me "look like an aging cross between Raymond Loewy and Don Johnson." He says his letter was inspired by my December column, wherein I suggested that we all celebrate Christmas at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, with the caveat that the cops would throw out anybody who didn't subscribe to my own "infuriatingly arbitrary dress code." He also suggested that I check out J. Crew, Eddie Bauer, and perhaps Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren as firms that might spruce up my wardrobe.
Well, first off, Mr. Walker, let me congratulate you on a finely tuned instinct for the jugular. Well-meant advice should always inflict a little pain on the recipient, and anyone who says that he writes "as a friend" to tell me about people who are laughing at me behind my back demonstrates sensitivity worthy of a career in TV journalism. I feel rather strongly that it is not fear of death that prevents most people from achieving everything they want in life but rather fear of looking ridiculous. Anybody who's followed my adventures over the years knows beyond the shadow of a doubt that I'm not terribly concerned about looking ridiculous.
As to your suggestions about my wardrobe, a keen sartorial observer like yourself should have recognized that the white suit I was wearing at Laguna Seca was made for me by Brooks Brothers, and if you think people laughed at me in that, just imagine how they'd have reacted if I'd showed up in cutoffs and a tank top. I think Eddie Bauer does nice Ford trucks, and J. Crew – unless I am mistaken – sells bargain-priced Rugby shirts. As for Ralph Lauren, he has spent the past ten years creating a line of men's clothes that look just like the ones I wear all the time. I appreciate your friendly concern, but I must point out that people have been laughing at me for years, sometimes behind my back, but in the case of my friends, generally right in my face.
Example: Doug Mahoney. Doug Mahoney got me into the retail end of the imported-car business in 1953 and got me into sports car racing more or less simultaneously. A couple of years later, I'd crashed badly and wound up with the face I now wear. The car I was supposed to drive in an endurance race at Elkhart Lake didn't make it, and I'd flown all the way from California, so I went on to Michigan to see some old friends. When I went to Doug's house, his wife took one look at me, then fled, weeping, and locked herself in the bathroom. Doug went to the door and said, "Come on out, Joyce. It's just your pal David E. Same as he always was, but now he's got something that character actors would give a lot to have. In this case, it's one bedroom eye and one bathroom eye."

I remember an interesting incident related to this that happened a few years ago. I was at a temple of Mahavira, and after a Jaina monk had spoken to the worshippers I was invited to speak. I said, "Vardhaman and Mahavira are two separate individuals and only when Vardhaman died was Mahavira born. As long as Vardhaman is there, there is no way that Mahavira can also be there. The man called Vardhaman is not Mahavira, and if you think that Vardhaman's life is Mahavira's life, then you are under a great illusion."
The Jaina monk was very perturbed and agitated. He thought that someone utterly unacquainted with the Jaina scriptures had come to speak. He was so agitated that he stood up and interrupted, shouting, "No, no, what you are saying is utterly wrong. Vardhaman and Mahavira are one and the same person. And it seems that you know nothing of the Jaina scriptures."
I said, "I may or may not know Jaina scriptures, but I know jina-hood. And in the light of jina-hood, Vardhaman and Mahavira are two separate individuals. You only know what is written in the books, but I know that Vardhaman's life is not Mahavira's! Vardhaman went to the jungle specifically to dissolve Vardhaman. And the day the seed of Vardhaman broke - its shell fell off - Mahavira sprouted."
Even then this Jaina monk could not grasp the point. The intellect stuffed with concepts is incapable of understanding anything. Then he became so angry that I was saying such a topsy-turvy thing that he was completely out of his senses and lost all his awareness. In order to understand, some awareness is a must. Then those who know too much about the scriptures.the dust of the scriptures covers their eyes and it becomes impossible for them to see life as it really is.
I knew as well as he did that the names Vardhaman and Mahavira belonged to the same man, but this is the most superficial level of understanding, and there is an inner discontinuity between the two. On the surface, yes, the names belong to the same man; and it is the man born as Vardhaman who will die as Mahavira. On the outer there is a continuity - but in the inner? In the inner, one chain has ended and a new chain has begun. In the inner, the man who was born has come to an end and a new experience, a new remembrance of the one who is never born and never dies has dawned, and that is Mahavira.
Understand this well. As long as you are, defeat is your destiny. The very notion of fighting is foolish. It is as if one is fighting with oneself: he is bound to lose. It is as if one is fighting with the current: he will lose. The day the understanding dawns: "Who is there to be fought against? There is no one except me! It is only me all over and all around, and it is myself who is in the other too! I and you are not separate and divisible," the defeat comes to an end - but so do you in the same moment!

This Bed and Breakfast in the Loire Valley is very convenient to numerous Chateaus. The house and grounds are large and magnificent. The furnishings are elegant and reflect a lifetime of collecting from around the world, and the home had an air of formality. The room and bath were quite luxurious. The proprietor was accommodating and helpful. She gave us good sight-seeing advice. The breakfast was very good with many homemade jams. We recommend this bed and breakfast.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past And The Summers Brothers Conundrum
Cautiously Optimistic
When Lucas Till appeared in X-Men: First Class as Havok, fans everywhere felt a fluttering of hope that the two Summers brothers (Havok and Cyclops) might be reunited in some lovingly fan-servicey future where Cyclops doesn't die and there weren't forty years separating First Class from the first X-Men title. Well, mutants, you might have a chance. Bryan Singer, director of X-Men 1 and 2, has apparently said that he wants to "wants to fix a few things", according to Vulture's interview with Cyclops actor James Marsden. "Hopefully," Marsden continued, "[Cyclops' death] is one of them." Read More

Whilst it's well seen and the birds are pleasingly arranged, I'm afraid the out of focus stuff is a bit of a distraction, and the birds are not well lit. If they were both in sunlight, their plumage would be less dull. Also, it isn't that sharp.
IMHO, I think cropping to place the birds nearer the left side and losing the branch bottom right would help, and a little selective brightening on the birds should improve the look of the picture.
The good thing is that there are lots of birds, and practice is easy to get!
Nominating Constructive Critique
I'm guessing that this is a crop from something much larger and that the camera's lens was at full stretch? Apart from the softness, there's some CA in there as well.
Those Sony lenses are really pretty good but they're really not long enough to capture shots like this.
Sorry if that all sounds a bit negative.

I've been very happy with my Core 15 9.5" 300 BLK SBR complete upper I've had for a year now. It hangs with my buddy's 8" Noveske upper accuracy wise, for half the price. I wanted a quad rail SBR & Core 15 was one of the few to offer one at a decent price. It also came with an AAC Blackout mount/flash hider, so I can borrow popular suppressors to use until I have the funds for a SDN-6.
Deal of the day right here .
Basically buying the gun for $500 before the attached accessories on the first one http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-16-pa-15cr-moe-carbine.html
$799 take your pick
Or the $699 carbine special
Core is a good AR I've sold a few and have been very impressed with them however, given the prices of PSAs it's a tough sale.

I have the Core14 M4 Tac and it is an awesome rifle! It comes with a 4150 CMV crome lined barrel and M16 BCG, not to mention lots of other goodies u wont get from other rifles in theyre price range. However $900 for theyre base M4 is WAYYY too much. Budsgunshop has them for $749.

HollywoodNews.com: In a statement, "Casino Jack" headliner Kevin Spacey paid tribute to the film's recently deceased director George Hickenlooper.
In "Casino Jack," Spacey plays incarcerated lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Hickenlooper passed away at the age of 47 over the weekend.
"I can't believe he's gone because George was so alive, bubbling with energy, drive, commitment, an open heart and a brilliant sense of humor," Spacey said. "He was one of a kind.
"My experience working with him was nothing short of fantastic: from our prison visit with Jack Abramoff, to script meetings, pre-production discussions and finally our first day of shooting. From that day until our last event premiering Casino Jack in Toronto last month, he was a joy to be around.
"I'm shocked and can't really get it around my head that I won't be spending the next three months in his company. That 'Casino Jack' turns out to be his last; the pride I feel in it – in his direction, his ideas and the final results – has soared.
"He deserves for audiences to see it and discover his work. And then go out and see what he did before, cause he will deservedly find a whole new audience. And nothing would make George happier than for people to see his work."
Hickenlooper's directing credits include Sienna Miller's Edie Sedgwick biopic "Factory Girl." "Casino Jack" is currently slated for release by ATO Pictures on December 17.

Robert Pattinson, Emma Watson voted best dressed Brits
HollywoodNews.com: Robert Pattinson and Emma Watson aren't only in two of the most popular and successful film franchises, but they are apparently some pretty sharp dressers as well.
According to a Glamour UK poll, the two stars were voted as the best dressed Brits as decided by 25,000 people, states PopEater.
Watson, as the face of Burberry, beat out other high-profile women in fashion such as Victoria Beckham, Sienna Miller and Kate Moss. Pattinson took down Victoria's husband David Beckham and Sienna's man Jude Law to win his title.
Would you have chosen these two as best dressed?

Angelina Jolie too busy to fall into 'Gravity'
HollywoodNews.com: Forget about the talent search for Lisbeth Salander in the U.S. remake of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" – that's so two weeks ago.
The hot new femme role? Playing the astronaut in Alfonso's Cuaron's sci-fi film "Gravity" due out in 2012. But despite the number of actresses who are being considered for the role, the biggest one of them all – Angelina Jolie – has no interest in the project. She's too busy.
Warner Bros. has apparently made overtures to Sandra Bullock, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts, Marion Cotillard, Carey Mulligan, Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, Abbie Cornish, Rebecca Hall, Olivia Wilde, and Blake Lively per Deadline and Collider.
This comes as a surprise since it was first reported Johansson and Lively were in a tug of war for the part.
Collider lists the number of productions that Jolie is attached to:
- She is set to write and direct a love story set during the Bosnian War
- A sequel to "Salt"
- A film about the life of Cleopatra
- A remake of the 2009 British miniseries, "Unforgiven"
- Tim Burton's take on "Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent"
- Darren Aronofsky's adaptation of Ron Rash's novel, "Serena"
The lucky lass who lands the role will get to play opposite Robert Downey Jr., who has a small role.
Warner Bros. is eager to cast the right actress as the project is quite risky and in need of a chick who can draw at the box office. Currently, the film is budgeted at $80 million.
The plot of "Gravity" per Collider: "A female astronaut as she attempts to make her way back to earth after a satellite crash sets off a chain reaction of further crashes."

Ashton still a Kabbalah follower: confirmed by 'Twitter' pic
HollywoodNews.com: Ashton Kutcher reaffirmed his commitment to Kabbalah by wearing its red string bracelet on his left wrist in his latest 'Twitter' photo.
Ashton posted the picture from Melbourne, Australia, where he is promoting his new film, Killers.
According to the controversial offshoot of Judaism, the red string custom is meant to bring good fortune and protect against an 'evil eye'. In the 'Twitter' photo, Ashton, also wearing a blue shirt and a bow tie, poses with Killers director, Robert Luketic.
Ashton, 32, married his wife Demi Moore, 47, in a 2005 ceremony blessed by Eitan Yardeni, a rabbi from the Kabbalah Centre in Los Angeles.
Other A-list Kabbalah followers are said to include Charlize Theron, Britney Spears and Sienna Miller.

Jude Law's ex-wife deletes Twitter to cover up sassy remark on Sienna Miller
HollywoodNews.com: In effort to save face in front of her ex-husband Jude Law and his on-again g.f. Sienna Miller, Sadie Frost has deleted her Twitter account.
It sounds zany and confusing, so permit us to explain.
Turns out Frost, 42, snapped at Miller, 28, on Twitter and than attempted to retract the statement and when that didn't look good, she just deleted the whole, bloody account.
According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, Frost returned home to find her daughter Iris, 9, with a new haircut. Frost took to Twitter and posted a comment aimed at Miller: "I think ya should get ya own child and then cut their hair."
Frost then tried to undo the sassy comment by posting: "The story in paper is rubbish, no-one cut Iris's hair, she still has her beautiful locks 'All is cool with them – peace and love."
And when that didn't work, Frost turned off her Twitter.
A friend of Frost's told the Sun that Iris' haircut really rubbed her rhubarb. "It's not that the style doesn't look nice, it does, but that it was done without her permission. I'm sure Sienna was just trying to be nice. But Sadie doesn't want Sienna playing mother to her kids," exclaims the source.

Jude Law and Sienna Miller start a public fight>
Hollywoodnews.com: What the heck is going on with all these old flame Hollywood couples whispering that they're tying the not, then exhibiting behavior that dispels such rumors?
Recently Leonardo DiCaprio was seen getting cozy with a woman who looked like his up and coming fiancé Bar Refaeli, now Jude Law and Sienna Miller are fighting like the good ole days.
Miller and Law were apparently spotted by the U.K.'s Daily Mail fighting like cats and dogs – in public no less!
One onlooker at the private members' club Shoreditch House in East London exclaimed "They had this blazing row in front of everyone, and Sienna walked out. I couldn't tell you what the row was about, but Sienna had a huge tantrum.
"It was quite dramatic. As soon as she left, Jude started blatantly chatting up another girl in the club at the bar. She was very pretty and was clearly delighted that this huge movie star was making a move on her."
"Then, after a while, Sienna came back. You should have seen her face when she saw Jude and this other girl' says the Daily Mail mole, 'It was extraordinary. By the time I left, they seemed to have made up.'
Let's hope so.
Jude Law, Sienna Miller finally hear wedding bells
Hollywoodnews.com:Jude Law, 37, really loves his off again-on again g.f. Sienna Miller, 28.
Unintentionally following the latest craze of major celebs wedding their longtime mates (DiCaprio is rumored to be engaging his longtime Israeli model g.f. Bar Refaeli) Law plans to tie the knot with Miller in Gloucestershire, England this summer.
"They don't want to jinx things by talking about it, but they have told their nearest and dearest that they would like to get married in the summer," a source tells the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
Apparently there will be a second ceremony in New York. Miller wants her fashion designer sister Savannah to handle the gown. There's further talk that the "G.I. Joe" actress wants a bohemian-style marriage.
Law originally engaged Miller in 2006 and called it quits after it was revealed that the "Road to Perdition" actor had a tryst with their nanny.
Law has three children with his first wife Sadie Frost and a love child with U.S. model Samantha Burke.
Mick Jagger Goes Out on a Limb for Girlfriend
By Roger Friedman
Hollywoodnews.com: Last night, Mick Jagger went out on a limb, so to speak, for girlfriend L'Wren Scott.
Jagger made a rare appearance at a rooftop benefit (atop the Scholastic Books building) in Soho to help raise money for Haitians who've lost limbs in the January earthquake. Scott is old friends with crusading doctor, David Colbert, who's a dermatologist to the stars. His group is called NYDG Foundation: Rx Haiti.
And the stars who did show up included Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts. It was hoped that Jude Law and Sienna Miller might materialize, but excuses were made: Jude was on a plane back to England.
And what of Mick, besides graciously digging in for Haiti? He's on his way to Cannes for the re-release of "Exile on Main Street" and the showing of a new short documentary that stitches together pieces of unseen footage from Rolling Stones tapes including the legendary "Cocksucker Blues."
Six held-back songs were added to the new "Exile." Mick told me his favorites are "Plundered My Love" — a "Tumbling Dice" companion– and the bluesy, gospelish "I'm Not Signifying." The other new old tracks include "Pass the Wine (Sophia Loren)," "Dancing in the Light," "So Divine (Aladdin Story)," and the sublime "Following the River."

Grand Yazıcı Club Marmaris PalaceLatest Booking: December 16
As a first time visitor to the Arya my first impressions were very favourable. What makes the Arya special is the staff, the pool area and the restaurant food was delicious.
The self catering facilities were very limited but OK for breakfast.
Location. Size and cleanliness of apartment
- Good location (but Içmeler is very small ...) but not on the beach front.
- They took the whole room fee (for the 3 nights stay) a few days before our arrival. It is really unusual to do so, at least with booking.com, we had not chosen to ''pay now'' because we prefer to pay with local currency rather than with our credit card. So we thing it is wrong to take money for a stay that has not already begun. - When we arrive, nobody was at reception, we waited a while and then went to the restaurant and a few moments later the owner arrived. During all our stay we rarely saw someone at reception, so for question or problem with the room you always have to ask at the restaurant. We saw some other guests that had to wait around reception for check in, so it was not only our problem. - At check in, one of the first thing we have been told is that A/C is extra (20 Tl/night), but as I always check that it is included in the room description on booking, I was rather scpetical. When we argue about it the owner became really sensitive and even rude to my husband. She finally call her brother than agree to ''give'' us free A/C. We have been traveling for 6 months almost always using booking.com for our reservation and that kind of argument had never happen before, room equipement is rather clear if it is indicated next to the price you pay it is included in the price of the room. - We had a small appartement, with cooking facilities, but nothing to keep the kitchen clean (no soap, nothing to wipe the counter or to dry the dishes) we try to make up for it with what we had (meaning toilet paper and bar soap) but it isn't the best way. - The restaurant plays very loud music until 1am, we could hear it clearly from our room. - There was quite a few ants roaming around the kitchen - The pool closes at 19h and is a small pool for the number of guest.
We asked for non-smoking room and got it. Quieter than in main strip of Icmeler, which is good if you want that, but still not far from beach or shops. Clean pool, rooms cleaned daily, family owned, good wi-fi, family -friendly, excellent value for money if you are on a budget. Staff were all friendly and helpful, especially restaurant manager. Restaurant is good.
The whole complex set up is fab. as are the owners and staff they cant help enough, It is a family run complex with everything you need also very close to bars, restaurants and beach, also they have draft beer their restaurant is good food plentiful and tasty. very good value.
There is nothing about Arya Hotel that you cannot like.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, apartments had everything you needed for your stay with a supermarket right in the complex, great pool and lounges for relaxing.
We had lunch there and it was mediocre, when on holidays in foreign lands we like to eat local delacies, there food was local delacies -europeanised. Resulting in not great food.

Folly Road Auto Repair Complaint
Truck Sabotaged - Car repair
James Island
We recently purchased a used tow truck that had been serviced by Folly Road Auto Repair. This vehicle has been sitting at their location for about a year, and the owner had a new alternator installed on two different occasions. Instead of grounding the alternator with the ground wire they used a garbage bag twisty tie and tied the ground wire off to the side of another wire, hiding the fact that they failed to ground it. They installed a new clutch and it was never adjusted. They put a new starter on the car and used an orange household extension cord for the main power to the starter. They claimed to install a new ignition switch but did not. After we purchased the vehicle we brought it to our mechanic and he showed us all these issues. The truck was deliberately set up to catch on fire and our mechanic was shocked it hadn't already done so. Now what do we do? Can't bring it back to the people who have tried to destroy it. We have photos documenting all these issues as well as a statement from our local mechanic. Would love for someone to help us follow up on this and not let it happen to anyone else.

2014 NFL Draft Picks By Team: Redskins
Round 2, Pick 15 Trent Murphy, LB, StanfordRanked #70 in our Top 100 Prospects List
Murphy finished his collegiate career as one of the great Stanford linebackers of all time. He was nearly universally recognized by awards and All-America lists. He will most definitely hear his name called in the first two days of the draft. At around 6-foot-6 and 250-plus pounds, Murphy could fit in a couple different positions and schemes. Where he is draft could ultimately push him towards one position over another. Given his bulk, he makes the most sense as a DE from my perspective. He doesn't have the ideal speed to play OLB in any 4-3 scheme and may be a liability in coverage if asked to play OLB in a 3-4. He already has the frame to add another 30 pounds and maybe even play as a 3-4 DE. Hard worker, team mentality. Reminds me of the 49ers' Justin Smith, except a bit lighter in weight. Just a brute strength guy with a great motor. Can collapse the pocket, outwork his opponent and wear them down. Sound tackler, wraps up well and puts his weight hard on players. Not a sudden or especially agile player. At his best when playing downhill. Excellent against the run and can quickly diagnose the play. Average pass rush moves. Not the sort of guy who will work the edge and bea... [Read More]
Round 3, Pick 2 Morgan Moses, OT, VirginiaRanked #36 in our Top 100 Prospects List
The Cavaliers have produced yet another NFL-caliber offensive line prospect in Moses. With ideal height, length and footwork, he has a great opportunity to latch on as a left tackle for many years. May be best suited for a zone-blocking scheme. Not a powerful blocker. Quick feet and good change of direction. Sets nicely and can absorb most bull rushes. Good at moving to a spot and using his momentum to deflect defenders. Well-balanced in his skills, no glaring weaknesses as a run blocker or pass protector. Will sometimes become lax with footwork. Could use some coaching up on active hand use. Good awareness and ability to read the rush. Keeps head on a swivel. Good lateral agility when run blocking. Pad level inconsistent as defenders will sometimes use his height against him. Average knee bend. Doesn't show much of a mean streak, but certainly cares about team performance. Average bend and plays too high. Moses projects as a Top 20 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.... [Read More]

Dickov impressed with build up
Cod army next up
Paul Dickov was impressed with the way his team battled hard in their 'behind closed doors' friendly at Hull City. The Tigers won the game with an 89th minute strike from former Rangers forward Sone Aluko. Dickov said, "It was very encouraging and for long periods we were the better team."Tomorrow, the Latics travel to Fleetwood Town, newly promoted to the Football League for a pre-season friendly which seems to be becoming an annual habit.

I received this in a swap and I'm *so* glad I did! The vile is tiny but has enough product to last for quite some time! The tingle and taste it leaves on your lips is yummy and the gloss is really long lasting. Okay, so maybe it doesn't live up to everything it claims, but it's so cute, who cares!
Stings and tingles for a long time. The SA told me that the tingling would stop soon but it didn't. Numbed my lips to the point where I thought I was drooling. It's a watery product. Interesting product but didn't plump my lips. Made it look glossy for a little bit. Better to get regular lip gloss.
OK... my skin is very sensitive, and so it is prone to vasodilation. I think that is why this works for me! My lips did get red, and I like the flavor and the result, but I don't like the price.
I was inspired to give my two cents after reading the previous review. This stuff is the worst! It's been a year since I threw this stuff in the garbage but now that I have been reminded I have to rant. It is messy, the vial leaks, and it just feels like a thick oil. How DUMB to have this stuff in a *vial* with no roller or anything. Look, if anyone likes a stinging sensation on their lips (and believe me, there is no aesthetic benefit to this - your lips will look exactly the same) I'm sure you could find out where to get some cinnamon oil and just dilute it somehow. But I have no idea why anyone would. This is a huge gimmick and as well as a huge waste of money.

Ugh - I am a sucker - I went into my favorite cosmetic store and on the counter sat "Lip Venom" guaranteed to give you a "natural bee stung lip look" - hmmmmmmm, interesting I thought. Let's try it - I paid my 15.00 and took my Lip Venom. The packaging is cute a thick cardboard tube but inside it is this little tiny glass vile of clearish liquidy gloss. I was pretty mad that they make you think your getting more product because you can't tell until you open the tube. The gloss smells and taste like cinnamon. What this stuff is suppose to do is simulate your lips into become red so they look "bee stung". This stuff literally makes your lips warm up - and if you have chapped lips and use it -THEY BURN! I applied this stuff (it does not come with an applicator so you have to put it on with your finger or brush) and it's sloppy! I felt like the stuff was running off my lips and onto my face! I tried to fix the problem by putting it over a nude lip liner - no way it did the same. Needless to say, I would never ever purchase or recommend this to anyone!!
you need to exfoliate your lips first, and than apply and rub, rub, rub, for it to work!
Hard to review this product coz despite the low ratings I really like it. It give subtle gloss, pleasant tingle, naturally flushed kiss-sore lips and adds a little fullness too.
But very expensive, tiny pot and no aplicator! Its not even like the ingredients are expensive, nope not gonna do this again....however much I love it!
I loved this when I first tried it. I loved the stinging feeling, but I didn't noticed any "plumping" to my lips. After using this a few times, the "stinging" wore off and basically that was the only reason why I would use it. It's not really a gloss, and has no staying power whatsoever. I don't think I would buy this again, after becoming "immune" to the stinging sensation.
Agree completely with lconover's review.
I'd read so much about it in magazines that I was really expecting a dramatic result - people had gone so far as to say it made their lips look larger. The concept of the product is an interesting one - basically, it mildly irritates the lips to make them appear redder.
In my experience, it didn't work. Sure, the product had a pleasant mild tingle to it, but it didn't have much staying power as a gloss. I didn't notice any enhancement of color. It felt similar to tiger balm, actually.
The product comes in a weird little test tube vial within a HUGE cardboard tube. (I was expecting more than the tiny little product that was enclosed.)
So, a neat product, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't worth $14. Maybe $4.
