If you have a way of measuring leaves, about 1 cubic yard per 1,000 square feet. There's probably a way to measure by the trash bag. |

This blog documents the Asian models (male and female) in the fashion media.
she has pretty hair..can't really tell how she looks...though in the nars campaign, she looked average looking.
right now from the east asian models, fei fei sun is hands down the most good looking of them all followed by sui hei(who has a broad face but she's pretty and elegant looking in her own unique way). Liu wen is kinda overrated. Her face is average looking but i guess people are attracted to her bubbly personality..makes her likeable and endearing.
It's not Jia Jing. That's Jing from Wilhelmina.
Love this.
I'm not a huge fan of this editorial! I think Jia is better than this. But omg look at her legs! They're amazing!
These are fashion photoes !

SF Express 7-on-7 tryout weekend
For the past two years, Brett Goetz has assembled some of the best high school football talent in South Florida for a 7-on-7 team that has been getting national attention.
With the South Florida Express winning the national championship last year, beating some of the elite programs and players in the country, this season promises to be even better.
With every player on last year's team getting ready to sign on the dotted line and head off to college, the next wave of South Florida Express players will step up during a two day tryout that is coming up this Saturday and Sunday at Hallandale Senior High School (720 NW 9th Ave, Hallandale Beach 33009).
"This thing has gotten huge," said Goetz, who treated players to a special trip on the way to the national tournament in Alabama last season. "Every top player wants to be a part of this team because of the unreal exposure they receive."
Indeed, the South Florida Express is the team that has easily received the most exposure over the past two years from local media such as WQAM Radio and the Miami Herald - and from fan websites such as Scout.com, Rivals.com, ESPN and Sports Illustrated where veteran writer Andy Staples followed the team on the national championship trip and wrote a major piece.
"There are a lot of teams to play for in the region and in the state of Florida," Goetz pointed out. "But when you look at the exposure, coaching and big time atmosphere that surrounds this team, it's really the place to be."
If you are a player who believes you can add something to the South Florida Express, registration starts on Saturday, Feb. 5 at 4 p.m.. The camp will begin at 5:15 p.m.
The camp is open to all 2012, 2013 and 2014 high school football prospects. Registration fee is $20. Only 250 spots available, so be there early to register.
On Super Bowl Sunday, 40 players will be selected to return at 11A.M. to compete to make the 24 man South Florida Express Travel All Star Team.
"Even though there are so many talented football player who have already committed to play for us, you never know if we are missing a top-flight player who can help us repeat," Goetz said. "These players just love the elite competition, and that's why we did so well the past two years.
Interested in coming out to participate - or just want to see some of the elite players in the state in one setting, call 305 632 9895 for more information. No Pre Registration. Camp sponsored by Under Armour and Title Sport Drink.

Doyle, Grooms and Chickillo on radio
It's now a week away from the biggest day in college recruiting, and the Maroone High School Gridiron Report is staying right in the middle of the action.
Larry Blustein and Mike Levine have a tremendous show planned this week as they count the days down with three impressive guests on Thursday night's show on WQAM (560 AM).
Linda Doyle from the South Florida High School Football Show will take part in the 9-10 show along with University of Miami commitments Kevin Grooms of Hollywood South Broward and Tampa Alonso standout Anthony Chickillo.
The past two years, Doyle and her staff have hosted the best signing night show anywhere.
On Wednesday night, Feb. 2, Dave & Busters in Hollywood will once again host the live TV Show on NBC-6 with Joe Rose and Adam Kuperstein along with the top prospects in South Florida who will be on hand for interviews as well as showing off their college choices.
The show will run live from 7:30-8.
In addition, WQAM (560 AM) will host a show with Josh Darrow, leading into the live TV event from 7-7:30.
After a brilliant youth football and high school career, Grooms now sets his future goals on being a top-flight player for the Hurricanes. The 5-9, 175-pounder, who not only was one of the elite running backs in the state, but also played cornerback and returned kicks, chose to stay close to home and play for a program on the way back up.
The first South Broward football player to compete for the Hurricanes since Bill Hawkins back in the 1980s, Grooms brings plenty of excitement to Coral Gables.
During the transition between coaches at Miami, there has always been a priority of keeping Chickillo committed.
One of the best defensive end prospects in the country, Chickillo becomes the third generation of his family to play for Miami. His father Tony (1979-82) and grandfather Nick (1950-52) were standouts for the 'Canes.
Chickillo said that he will be signing his National Letter in Miami.
You can listen to the show on Thursday night via Internet at www.wqam.com.

Coral Park LB Arrington Jenkins commits to FSU
Another one of Miami-Dade County's top recruits is heading to Tallahassee.
Coral Park linebacker Arrington Jenkins announced Tuesday morning he is committing to Florida State. Jenkins, a 6-3, 220-pounder, who came to Coral Park as a senior after a couple of solid seasons at Killian, is rated the No. 8 overall prospect in Miami-Dade County by The Miami Herald, and No. 2 among linebackers.
Jenkins is also ranked No. 43 among linebackers nationally by Rivals.com.
Coral Park coach Tim Wood said Jenkins committed late Monday night, choosing the Noles over Illinois and Minnesota.
"He really enjoyed Minnesota and Illinois after the trips he took there recently," Wood said in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon. "But FSU won him over in the end since they had been after him since his sophomore year at Killian. He obviously wanted the opportunity to play for a major program and in front of big crowds. But in the offseason, he wanted to be somewhere comfortable. I know he has family up there so that played a part in his choice."
Jenkins is the second player from Coral Park to commit to a major school in the past week, joining wide receiver Juwan Caesar who committed to Michigan State.
Jenkins joins other notable South Florida players that have committed to FSU - Miami Central RB Devonta Freeman, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas WR Rashad Greene and OL Bobby Hart, Miami Jackson OL Ruben Carter, and Nova DL Nile Lawrence-Stample.

Coral Park WR Juwan Caesar commits to Michigan State
Coral Park wide receiver Juwan Caesar had a breakout senior season, and made several college programs take notice.
Caesar believes he's found the right school.
Caesar committed to Michigan State University Friday following a senior year in which he caught 43 passes for 754 yards and eight touchdowns in only seven games. His efforts helped the Rams, who had won only five games in the prior six seasons, to a 5-5 record.
"He's very excited about going to Michigan State," Coral Park coach Tim Wood said. "He had a few other offers, but that was the school he liked the most."
Caesar (6-5, 210 pounds) is rated the No. 21 overall prospect in Miami-Dade County by The Miami Herald and No. 4 among receivers. He also has offers from UCF, Minnesota, South Florida and West Virginia.
Caesar had also recently drawn interest from the University of Miami, but not an offer according to Wood.

Ice headed back to Booker T.
Tim "Ice" Harris Sr., the father of former Hurricanes cornerback Brandon Harris and USA Today's High School Football Coach of the Year in 2007, is heading back to Booker T. Washington. He is expected to be named the school's football coach as early as Monday.
Harris spent the last three years as a special assistant to former Hurricanes coach Randy Shannon, but left the program earlier this week according to UM . Harris helped coordinate the football team's community relations projects and assisted in other day-to-day operations of the football program when he was at UM. He won state championships in football and track at Booker T. in 2007.
After his son declared he would enter the draft earlier this month, Harris Sr. said he would remain at UM but was looking to get back into coaching. His son Tim Jr. served has been an assistant at Booker T. Washington since Harris left.

Anyone use this stuff? I have some joints inside and outside that I need to patch up. They are between the base of the wall and the floor. The outdoor gets alot of moisture and is against the foundation of the house.(It is slightly sheltered) The indoor is subterrain and did have some flooding but not for many years. Just want to seal up the gaps. Go with regular cement, hydraulic or other products?
Any advise would be greatful! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've used hydraulic cement years back. It works well. If I remember, it expands as it cures to seal the job. And you need to work reasonably fast. The stuff from years back was darker than the light grey wall. What I did was use the hydraulic cement, and then a product that was a thin coating meant to seal over the top- and did the whole wall in question. In other areas of that old house, I found that sloping the area right next to the house so the water would run away did the trick. If you have an area that may have some flexing that you want to seal, I think I would try a masons type caulk myself. Good luck. |

Last week, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick threw his endorsement behind longtime friend Barack Obama. The endorsement was seen by some as an opportunity for Obama to leverage his grassroots support in Massachusetts to garner votes in neighboring New Hampshire for the important early primaries. The Patrick speaks, people —- particularly young people —- listen.
But Obama seems to be losing steam using the same language of hope that catapulted Patrick to the Governor's office in his own historic election. A growing number of Boston-area activists, mostly young professionals, say they are looking for Obama to share ideas with substance.

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets, | 1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, |
2 at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; | 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. |
3 who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high, | 3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. |
4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they. | 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. |
5 For to which of the angels said he ever, *Thou* art my Son: this day have *I* begotten thee? and again, *I* will be to him for father, and *he* shall be to me for son? | 5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father " ? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son" ? |
6 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him. | 6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." |
7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire; | 7 In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire." |
8 but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. | 8 But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom. |
9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions. | 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy." |
10 And, *Thou* in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens. | 10 He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. |
11 They shall perish, but *thou* continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment, | 11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. |
12 and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but *thou* art the Same, and thy years shall not fail. | 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end." |
13 But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet? | 13 To which of the angels did God ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet" ? |
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation? | 14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? |

Issues of bodily materialities and material environments are important concerns for feminists and for feminist theorizing. Many different branches of feminism – sexual difference feminisms, cyborg feminisms, ecological feminisms, feminist marxism etc. - have grappled with these issues. In recent years, different names have been attached to overlapping endeavours to push feminist theorizing beyond the 'linguistic turn' and a too exclusive focus on discursive aspects of gender/sex and other social categories – a focus which has generated a certain negligence of prediscursive aspects of bodies, transcorporeal relations between bodies and environments, non-human actors, the posthuman etc. These endeavours have been identified with names such as feminist materialism, material feminism, bodily materialism, feminist postconstructionism, even 'new' materialism and 'the material turn' etc.
Recent understandings of the human body, the natural world and physical materialities have propelled conceptual innovation and energetic revivals within feminist theory. Key to materialist feminist interludes in the ongoing research debates have been an insistence on the importance of materiality and its non-human agency. This has enabled groundbreaking work within philosophy, feminist theory, science and technology studies, cultural studies and other fields where the body and nature collapse theories and assumptions about the human, the non-human and what the object of study should be for the Humanities. In response to androcentrism and anthropocentrism, feminist scholars have turned to environmental studies, the sciences and to "posthumanities" in order to revisit the question: what does it mean to be human in these times, with bodies that are inextricably entangled with the physical world.
The course will provide a guided tour to current landscapes of feminist materialisms. It will point out how feminist materialisms do not represent an easy return to the modern idea of materialism as something essential and determining, and how feminist materialist theorists in a 'postconstructionist' mode not only challenge and criticize, but also take inspirations from the productive language of discourse and text studies that has been of great importance for feminist, queer, and postcolonial researchers and activists.
Within this framework, the course will construct an arena for discussions of the implications of a feminist materialist 'turn' – which theories, methodologies, research questions, and political issues are drawing attention to themselves as part of such a 'turn'?
This course occasions a careful study of the required reading on beforehand (including the anthology Material Feminism, edited by Stacy Alaimo and Susan Hekman 2009), the lectures and, most importantly, the questions and issues raised in the paper presentations and joint discussions. The required reading engages theoretical dimensions as well as empirical analyses. The students are asked to link these to the specific foci of their own research projects. It is by engaging feminist materialisms to ongoing research that this course entails a lively tour and an up-dated mapping exercise of the feminist materialisms in circulation in the contemporary research landscapes within interdisciplinary gender studies and beyond.

The course will include two kinds of sessions:
1) lecture-discussion-sessions on the proposed readings. Course participants are expected to have read the relevant chapters/articles before the course.
2) group sessions with presentations of students' papers, where students are given the opportunity to present their doctoral research and receive comments from teachers and co-participants.
Participants will be divided into three working groups to make individual presentations and discuss research questions from their doctoral project.
Each of the three lecturers will have responsibility for one group each. Based on the research description, each participant is asked to make a presentation of her/his research project for 10-15 minutes, followed by 30 minutes for questions and discussion. All group participants are expected to read the papers of their fellow group members and be ready to give comments.
* Paper (2-5 pages describing research problems related to the PhD project of the participant) to be sent to InterGender Managing Director Pia Laskar (firstname.lastname@example.com) AT THE LATEST TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE COURSE START; remember to mark it with your name and the course name.
* All participants are expected to read the papers of their fellow group members before the course and be ready to give comments in the group sessions.
* The students' papers and some of the other readings for the course will be available to all the participants via our intra net.
Books must be bought or borrow. More info on this will be given to registered participants.
* 15 pages (to be handed in at the latest 3 months after the course; one copy should be sent to the teacher, who is going to evaluate it, and one to InterGender Managing Director Pia Laskar firstname.lastname@example.com. The teacher has 3 months to evaluate the essay.
* The essay should strike a balance between addressing a theme, which have been part of course (lectures, discussions, reading material), and be relevant for the PhD research of the student.
* The essay should, moreover, be considered as an exercise in doing a written presentation to an academic readership, which is not familiar with the author's PhD research. It should constitute a whole and explain relevant contexts.
a) 7,5 ECTS Credits is given for active participation, including presentation of a short paper, 2-5 pages.
b) 15 ECTS Credits is given for active participation, including presentation of a short paper, 2-5 pages (as above) + essay (evaluated as pass/fail). An essay should be of 10-15 pages. The selected topic shall be related to the course content and readings.
The essay is to be sent to the teacher as well as to InterGender Managing Director Pia Laskar (email@example.com) no later than 3 months after the final day of the course. Note that you can either be examined for 7,5 ECTS Credits or for 15 ECTS Credits.

Nested ESX5i instances and virtual Nexenta SANs - possible test strategy for Nexenta
Added by Ashley Watson over 2 years ago
We have been looking at various ways of increasing the amount of flexibility for our development projects that require simulations of full vSphere 5 managed clusters.
We have storage presented to 6xUCS blades (12 cores, 96GB ram each) via an HP MSA 2312G2 (15k RPM, 48 spindles, 4Gb/s FC interface - no T10 capabilities). We have another IBM DS san with 48 spindles (4Gb/s FC - no T10 capability). Each blade is running ESX5i and is part of a vCentre managed instance.
We didn't want to tie up specific blades to specific projects so we created nested ESX5i instances that are capable of running 64 bit guests - this is a great feature os ESX5i; http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-support-for-nested-64bit.html
We have 2xnested ESX5i instances.
We created a VM on our main ESX5i farm for a virtualised NexentaStor instance (6GB ram, 2xvCPU, 15GB VMDK for NexentaOS, 6x100GB VMDKs - one from each raid set on our FC SAN for performance). We have 3xe1000 NICs - 2 for iSCSI traffic, 1 for management. The syspool is attached to a virtual LSI Logic parallel controller, the 6x100GB VMDKs are configured within the NexentaStor instance to be 1xRaidZ volume on a second virtual LSI Logic parallel controller. We go through the process of presenting zvols (150GB+150GB+100) to our 2xvESX5i instance via iSCSI.
We use storage DRS rules on our main cluster to keep the VMs for ESX5i-a and ESX5i-b and vNexenta on the same blade to prevent cross blade traffic and we configure the failover on our FC so that we keep the traffic on a single leg of the FC infrastructure.
With this set up we can use NexentaStor as a virtualised iSCSI SAN to present storage to our nested ESX5i hosts within our FC architecture. We can immediately reproduce issues like hardware accelerated locking etc without additional physical hardware or putting any other VMs at risk.
If Nexenta could invest some time setting up this type of setup (like we have - it took us about 2 days), then they'd maybe able to get to the bottom of some of the nasty VAAI issues and also understand better some of the issues people seem to be having with Nexenta in virtualised environments.
Initial testing shows our virtual Nexenta and Nested ESX5i cluster performing not that much slower than our native FC SAN to physical ESX5i hosts.

The Kansas City Chiefs busted out of their slump against the Arizona Cardinals, winning easily by the score of 31-13. Despite missing Tony Moeaki and Dexter McCluster, Matt Cassel the Chiefs' offense seemed to effortlessly score points on the Cardinals and the Arizona offense thwarted any good drive they attempted to put together by incurring penalties. The Arizona Cardinals are bad, but last week's victory showed that the Chiefs didn't play down to the Cardinals' level as they took control of the game early and kept control.
Now, the Chiefs face the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks. However, being on top of the NFC West is really just a "tallest dwarf contest." The Chiefs are a better team than the Seahawks. I will look at today's game more closely but I think the Chiefs' biggest opponent won't be the Seahawks – it will be the road trip and Qwest Field itself.
Kansas City Chiefs 31 Arizona Cardinals 13
There isn't much to say about the game. The Cardinals scored their only touchdown on the last play of the game. The Chiefs' defense didn't take the ball away from the Cardinals but they didn't give much ground. Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston made some great catches but, without a running game and with all the holding penalties, their offense couldn't put enough good plays together to get into the end zone.
When Kansas City had the ball, the Chiefs' running game was rolling and Matt Cassel was finding Dwayne Bowe open all day. This was the most impressive performance by Matt Cassel we have seen this season. I'm not thinking greatness is in Cassel's future but I am thinking that Matt Cassel could be what Kyle Orton is now. Kyle Orton came into the league not expecting to be a big part of the 2005 Chicago Bears. Rex Grossman predictably was injured, Chad Hutchinson was terrible and Kyle Orton was left to be the game manager. Over the years, he worked his way from game manager to being a solid back-up, a solid QB and now a capable leader.
Newest Chiefs Posts
Matt Cassel hasn't followed the exact same track but there are a lot of similarities. Cassel has been in the league just as long but isn't as experienced as Orton. They both have made their way into the league by chance and stayed there because their isn't anything about their level of play that is detracting. Cassel is doing what Orton has done: he is slowly pushing the ceiling of his potential and abilities higher and higher. Orton is no longer a game manager. Cassel will have improved when he sheds that title as well. That could happen this year if he is able to win some games with his arm.
Showdown in Sodo
I have to say how bummed I am that I am not at this game. In three weeks, I will be living in Seattle again. You bet I would be a red speck among the bright-green, navy blue and light blue crowd if I were physically in Seattle. However, the Chiefs losing would probably detract from the experience some so I will watch with the same investment I have in every other game and you can all thank me for not being there because my absence surely will secure a Chiefs' victory.
When the Chiefs have the ball, they face a team that is weak against the pass and the run. Chris Clemons is still a force but their defensive line doesn't clog up the running lanes. Aaron Curry and Lofa Tutupu will stop the big plays but if the Chiefs can run the ball and work Moeaki and DMC back into the passing game, the points should come nearly as easily as they did last week. The Chiefs' offense should stretch the field enough that the Seattle D can't contain the offense like Denver did. The DMC factor should be in full effect!
When the Seahawks have the ball, they have a reliable, but brittle quarterback in Matt Hasselbeck but Mike Williams should be out and Brandon Flowers will not be available today, leaving Brandon Carr to cover Ben Obomanu. The Seahawks still have some capable wide receivers to take on the other members of the Chiefs' secondary but Hasselbeck's protection has dwindled and the Chiefs should take advantage of that by sending another guy on a blitz occasionally like they did last week. He is a lone bowling pin that can be knocked down. With his injury history, it is a small miracle he is still behind center at this point in the season.
If the Seahawks win today, it will be in the air. Travis Daniels will be starting and Bill Maas believes that Jackie Bates should get some time in at CB. That is a huge drop from Flowers, who Travis believes is the best player on the team but I concur with Pro Football Focus' Khaled Elsayed in saying he is second best defender to Tamba Hali (Jamaal Charles deserves some love too). However, not having Flowers could be a repeat of the debacle in Denver. They have Marshawn Lynch but it's not likely that they will have the offensive line to set up a running campaign. The Seahawks also have a great returner in Leon Washington, who has taken two kickoffs to the the house and has recorded kick returns of 20+ yards or more 19 times.
I am going to be watching Dexter McCluster (because he's back, baby!), Brandon Carr (because he is the lead cornerback now) and Branden Albert (because he's going to play but he's dinged up). Qwest Field is going to be loud and things won't go as smoothly as they did last week. It's going to be loud but the Chiefs' should be prepared to handle the noise. Qwest Field hasn't been the advantage it usually is since the 2007 season and the Chiefs should rise above any barriers it creates.

25 Things We Learned from Wes Anderson's 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Rob Hunter on November 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentNo matter what anyone says, there's no real downside to being a film critic. Sure the pay could be better and the commenters could be nicer, but there's no real negative to being able to write about art you love (or you don't, depending). But opinions change, and while a review should stand as an educated and informed viewpoint on a certain film that viewpoint can sometimes shift over time. What I'm saying my first viewing of Fantastic Mr. Fox back in 2009 left me unmoved and uninterested. Maybe it's because I was a big fan of Wes Anderson's earlier films up until The Darjeeling Limited — which I still dislike strongly — and was disappointed that he moved away from live action. Maybe it's because I didn't understand why some of the animal species talk while others (chickens, the beagle) are just dumb animals. Maybe I just had a bad meal that day. I didn't review the film, but had I done so it probably wouldn't have been very positive. What I'm saying — for real this time — is that I'm glad those negative thoughts aren't captured in a review somewhere, because this movie is a cussing gem. Having re-watched the film in the years since I've come to appreciate, enjoy and flat out love it, and since today is the five year anniversary I decided it'd be a great commentary to listen to… and this time I was right. Keep reading to see what I heard on […]
Do We Put Too Much Stock in Original Dialogue?
Discussion By Christopher Campbell on April 1, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWe all love to quote our favorite movies. Even my one-year-old son just started uttering "I've got it!" all the time, having picked up the phrase from his most-watched movie, Dumbo. I don't know that it's the most original or noteworthy piece of dialogue, but he hasn't seen much yet. Usually the lines we remember and recite are those that stick out for a reason. They don't always have to be something never heard before, as the quote's notability could be all about the way it's delivered by the actor saying it, though most of the time it's a line specific and exclusive to a certain movie. Even if a hundred scripts since have borrowed "I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," we all know it comes from The Wizard of Oz. Aside from the fact that it gives us something with which to represent our fandom or appreciation of a movie, though, original dialogue isn't that important. A lot of the time it's really clever and stylized and therefore wouldn't likely be found in a film with characters intended to sound natural. Imagine a serious realist drama where someone suddenly said something like "Fasten your seat belts… It's going to be a bumpy night" or "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" or "I feel the need — the need for speed." Sometimes original, quotable dialogue is so unnatural that it makes some people cringe, as in the cases of Juno and Napoleon Dynamite. Other times it might […]
A Visual Feast: The Best Food of Wes Anderson's Many Films
Features By Kate Erbland on March 7, 2014 | Be the First To Comment"They say all foxes are slightly allergic to linoleum, but it's cool to the paw – try it. They say my tail needs to be dry cleaned twice a month, but now it's fully detachable – see? They say our tree may never grow back, but one day, something will. Yes, these crackles are made of synthetic goose and these giblets come from artificial squab and even these apples look fake – but at least they've got stars on them. I guess my point is, we'll eat tonight, and we'll eat together. And even in this not particularly flattering light, you are without a doubt the five and a half most wonderful wild animals I've ever met in my life. So let's raise our boxes – to our survival." Filmmaker Wes Anderson's preoccupations may be myriad, but when it comes to building out entirely new, totally whimsical worlds, such obsession is necessary. Details are key. Flourishes are essential. And even characters who appear to run almost totally on vim, vigor, and absolute charm need to eat (for stamina, you see, and also survival and maybe even a jail break or two), and Anderson is more than happy to ply them with frosting and cheap burgers in equal measure. What are some of Anderson's best cinematic food offerings? Take a bite and taste them for yourself.
Ranking the Best of Wes Anderson's Theatrical Movie Posters
Features By Kate Erbland on October 15, 2013 | Comments (1)If there is one thing that filmmaker Wes Anderson excels at (and, yes, he excels at more than just one thing – but this is a poster appreciation piece, not a Wes Anderson appreciation piece, though there's always time for that later), it's infusing his films with playful, colorful, and creative imagery, and his ability to do that has only gotten better with time (remember those wonderful YA books from Moonrise Kingdom?). Yesterday's release of the first poster for his upcoming The Grand Budapest Hotel only speaks to Anderson's apparent interest in crafting visually rich films that carry over their aesthetic to every piece of related marketing. That's a florid way of saying that we love that damn poster and we can't way to see more from the film in that same vein. But until we get more Andersonian posters (perhaps another character poster run, like the charming set from Fantastic Mr. Fox?), we've still got plenty of old work to flip back through and admire. Sure, things might have been rough (well, poster-wise) in the beginning of Anderson's career, but they're pretty stunning right now. Anderson's films have, of course, also sparked plenty of alternate poster art – from home video cover art to fan-made one sheets to special edition pieces from established artists – but for this appreciation, we're going straight theatrical. It's like being back in the halls of your local multiplex! After the break, take a look at our totally subjective, wholly unscientific ranking of thirteen theatrical movie posters for Wes Anderson's […]
Wes Anderson's Career According to The Criterion Collection
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 7, 2012 | Comments (1)The Criterion Collection's motto makes explicit its devotion to "important classic and contemporary films," but it's also clear that the Collection has dedicated itself to the careers of a select group of important classic and contemporary directors. Several prestigious directors have a prominent portion of their careers represented by the collection. Between the Criterion spine numbers and Eclipse box sets, 21 Ingmar Bergman films are represented (and multiple versions of two of these films), ranging from his 1940s work to Fanny and Alexander (and 3 documentaries about him). 26 Akira Kurosawa films have been given the Criterion/Eclipse treatment, and Yashujiro Ozu has 17 films in the collection. Though many factors go into forming the collection, including the ever-shifting issue of rights and ownership over certain titles, it's hard to argue against the criticism (or, perhaps more accurately, obvious observation) that the films in the Collection represent certain preferences of taste which makes its omissions suspect and its occasionally-puzzling choices fodder for investigation or too predictable to be interesting (two Kurosawa Eclipse sets?). And while the Collection has recently upped its game on the "contemporary" portion of its claim by highlighting modern-day masterpieces like Olivier Assayas's Carlos and Andrew Haigh's Weekend, for the most part attempts at forming a complete directorial filmography via within the Collection has typically been reserved for directors whose filmographies have completed. Except, of course, for the case of Wes Anderson.
Movie News After Dark: Prometheus Rises, The Dark Knight Trailers, The Anatomy of a Stunt Driver and The Inglourious Mr. Fox
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 22, 2011 | Comments (5)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that, at least for tonight, will divert your attention away from it being a slow news day by using a rousing round-up of visual stimuli. That's right, we're busting out infographics! We begin tonight with one of a few hot-off-the-press photos from Ridley Scott's Prometheus, featuring the cast. Among them was this shot of dreamy Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace, also dreamy. There's also some pretty kick-ass science fictiony stuff promised alongside this oozing sexuality.
Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves stealing Quorn brand faux-chicken nuggets from nasty old farmers. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. So join us each week as he takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all costs.
Oscar Breakdown: Best Animated Feature
Academy Awards By Neil Miller on March 6, 2010 | Comments (12)The Best Animated Feature category — as you know — celebrates the best of the year's animated fare. It is also the Academy Awards' youngest category, first taking root in 2001. It was created ten years after Disney's Beauty and the Beast became the only animated film to ever be nominated for Best Picture. This year, almost 20 years after Beauty and the Beast and almost ten years after Shrek won the first Best Animated Feature award, we find ourselves once again with a first.

'Fantastic Mr. Fox' is definitely a Wes Anderson movie; it's full of whimsy and alienation, and it explores troubled relationships. It's also animated and about a family of foxes. The combination makes for a unique experience.

Did you ever notice that on some days, no matter what you try, your pictures seem to be below your normal standards and on others, they all seem to turn out really great?
With me, the good days seem to come when the ambient lighting is brighter...this allows the cameras software to select a faster shutter speed thus reducing the effect of motion blur. These are some shot on August 11...a good day! Thanks for taking a look! Bob The "purple sheen" that is often displayed on the Little Glassywing (Pompeius verna) shows up on this one.
Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus) is one of my favorites.
The Milkweed Tussock Moth (Euchaetes egle) was numerous on the Common Milkweed plants.
Probably the second most numerous butterfly in my yard is Peck's Skipper (Polites peckius).
Red Banded Hairstreak (Calycopis cecrops) nectaring on Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa).

Stunning pictures, Bob! Sherry |
Among the best butterfly pictures I've ever seen and that includes PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS. Your photography made me understand why the first butterfly has "glassywing" in its name. You made me rethink my previous lack of interest in learning to distinguish skippers BECAUSE I HAD PREVIOUSLY FOUND THEM UNINTERESTING BECAUSE THEY LOOKED SO PLAIN.

The little lady in the last shot matched her dress color for the photoshoot! :-) Absolutely breathtaking shots and with such amazing detail. Do you use the Canon 100 mm lens mounted on a tripod for your butterfly photos? ~Mary |
You are all very kind with your comments and I appreciate them. Mary, I do always use the Canon 100mm Macro lens and I always use the tripod (sometimes as a monopod, sometimes as a bipod but usually as a tripod). This lens does the best job of blurring backgrounds of any I have ever used and it is SHARP. Thanks, again to all of you! Bob |
Wow, these are very stunning photos indeed, excellent beautiful photos, thanks for sharing. |
In addition to donating his beautiful garden plants to the Karen Cronin Memorial Garden, Bob is donating copies of some of his best pictures of plants and butterflies to the Meadowbrook Library who conceived of the memorial garden and have funded a beautiful bench, a memorial plaque, and permanent plant labels for the garden. These pictures will help us further the enjoyment, therapeutic and educational goals of the memorial garden. mike |

I love the colors on the Peck's Skipper and Red Banded Hairstreak. The lighting really is amazing. Your pictures cross the line into the realm of serious art. I could stare at them for hours studying the minute details. You can almost feel the textures of the wings and flower petals. Thanks for the enjoyment. Martha |

I played with the Presto weights last night for the first time. Had some siphoning. I'll play again tonight. I fear the pressure was too high. 5 out of 7 quarts look fine. 1 was down an inch or so. One was down 2 inches or more and did not seal. Blanched green beans, hot pack quarts, 10 pounds, 25 minutes. Stove is a Jenn-Air electric coil cook top with the special canning burner installed. How do you determine how fast that weight jiggle should be? I was counting a good 4 ticks/jiggles ((1)mississippi (2)mississippi (3)mississippi...) per second. Is there a video somewhere that shows the weight jiggling at the right speed? That was the speed at which it was jiggling when it started, so I tried to maintain it. Decreased the burner from 9 down to 5 and it was holding the tick speed. Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Presto weights are machined to jiggle continuously when at pressure so no counting is necessary. It shouldn't be a hard rock n' roll, just more like a waltz. :) Siphoning isn't caused by too high a pressure but by fluctuations in it or by improper cool down procedures. Have you read the step-by-step instructions at NCHFP? Dave |
- Posted by chrisb_sc_z7 near Clemson, SC (My Page) on Thu, Jun 12, 14 at 12:09
See a waltz to me indicates that maybe it rocks from side to side once a second or so. I guess the fact that it was moving at all is a good thing. I'll hone in on it sooner or later. As for directions, I followed the big 2 page spread in BBB page 70-71 specifically on how to do green beans. Slow heat up, slow cool down, no forced removal of steam, left weights on until the safety plug dropped and the gage even read zero. zero pressure, lift lid, no pressure hiss, lots of steam, wait 10 more minutes in water bath, lift out onto towel covered counter... I ate dinner while it was depressurizing, but it wasn't more than about 15 minutes. I have no idea how long they sat at zero pressure. But it wasn't like I left them in there for hours. It was definitely just a few minutes. I was smelling beans long before time was up, so it might have been a lid issue since it wasn't pressure. When I decreased the burner setting, it was a half number at a time and a pause for a minute or so. I didn't jump from 9 to 5. Maybe I'll video the jiggle next time for kicks. Some waltzes do move at a pretty good pace, ya know... :-) |
Let me see if I can come up with a better analogy - know the song Rock a Bye Baby? Sing it along with the weight movement as you would a lullaby. The directions I was referring to was the How to use a pressure canner instructions (linked below) as the timing instructions between zero and removing the weight and then more time before removing the lid (steps 8 and 9) will eliminate most siphoning. But reducing heat even 1/2 step at a time can also contribute. Less than a 1/4 step at a time works best for me on my coil stove. But the goal is to learn to get to the point where you don't have to make any heat adjustments after the weight is put on. Once you can ID that number on your stove dial then right before putting on the weight lower the dial to that number and leave it. Dave Edited to add: forget to mention to avoid over packing the jars with beans too. They will soak up some of the water in the jar and can give the appearance of siphoning. So if it is a chronic problem then the odds are you are overpacking the jars a bit. |
Here is a link that might be useful: NCHFP - Using Pressure Canner steps

I've got nothing of benefit to add. I just wanted to say that the conversation about timing the jiggling to music (and especially the "Rock a Bye Baby" comment) cracked me up. Rodney |
Best I could come up with off the top of my head. Happened to be doing some dried beans at the time and it seemed to fit pretty good. Rap just doesn't work. :) Dave |

When I moved to the Bay Area I was under the impression that the serious wealth resided in Berkeley rather than Oakland. Something to do with it having a prestigious university and so on. But I was wrong.
A recent in-depth piece on Oakland in San Francisco Magazine included the following stats:
Number of zip codes where at least one home sold for over $3 million last year:
Oakland : 8 (high: $20 million)
Berkeley: 1 (high $3.16 million)
These multi-million dollar homes are predominantly in the Oakland Hills. Many were built after the Oakland Fire and one can safely assume most of them have oodles of creature comforts as well as breathtaking views.
A prime example is this 3/3 contemporary home at 6013 Skyline Boulevard (pictured above) built in 2001 by designer David Stark Wilson and builder Scott Cameron. The architecture looks pretty swish and it's priced at $2,395,000.

text: Here's a question they never addressed in Sunday school: What was it really like on Noah's ark? Maine offers one set of answers in his salty debut novel: It was boring, miserable, and cramped. The biblical patriarch, whom Maine calls Noe, was a priapic old tyrant with a direct line to God and a weary, angry wife (''Does he even know my name? Don't bet on it''). His sons were impatient, rebellious, and horny: ''If it's going to flood, then flood already,'' says Japheth. ''If not, well, I've got business to take care of, things to do, a wife to rut.'' It's not a profound novel, nor a memorable one, but Maine has spun a fun, irreverent tale from one of the oldest stories in the world.

The sights and sounds here, though, were unlike anything I'd experienced on a golf course.
In one sense, the atmosphere was otherworldly and distinctly Himalayan. There were eagles soaring overhead and cavernous and lushly wooded mountains rising vertically to the sky around us. Horns from monks praying at a nearby monastery were blaring. The course was next to the gargantuan Thimphu dzong, a fortlike structure housing Bhutan's top government and religious officials. As we stood on the tee at the 120-yard downhill par-three first hole, gleaming right ahead of us and less than one hundred yards behind the green was a golden spire atop a regal-looking building that resembled a big monastery.
There were also some amusing Bhutanese touches. One was a local rule printed on the scorecard: "A ball lying within one club length around the tree can be dropped without penalty, no closer to the hole. If the golfer plays and hits the tree with his/her club, the player will automatically be disqualified." Protecting the natural environment is a key facet of Buddhism, which is the foundation of Bhutanese culture and its state religion, but I never expected to see the Buddhist mores in force at the golf course. I also heard men in the clubhouse talking about a tournament that is definitely unique to Bhutan: the Yak Open. The event, held every couple of years at Royal Thimphu, awards parts of a yak—raw and unskinned—to the winners. "The legs have the juiciest meat, so they go to the first-place man," a golfer told me.

The Protein Structure Initiative Structural Biology Knowledgebase
Tutorial and training materials by OpenHelix
| Learn to use the PSI-Nature Structural Biology Knowledgebase (SBKB), which integrates a wide variety of structural biology and structural genomics resources into one easy to navigate site in order to turn this vast set of information into knowledge important in understanding living systems and disease. Each month the Structural Biology Update provides: editorials on research advances, a primer on a featured molecule, news articles, new additions to the SBKB research library, and a listing of events for the structural biology and structural genomics community. The SBKB connects biological information from a wide variety of popular web resources (KEGG, Reactome, NCBI, and more) with vast amounts of structural information available from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and other Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) resources into one knowledgebase. Its simple search interface allows researchers to search by sequence, structure or text and provides well organized, easy to navigate result summaries and detailed reports of results. | Advertisement:
You'll learn:
- To search the SBKB with a sequence or structure, and how to navigate the results
- How to navigate search results to obtain information from various information sources
- How text searches differ from other types of SBKB searches, and what information is available in their results
- How you can propose biologically relevant proteins as structural targets to the Protein Structure Initiative
- About other valuable features of the SBKB resource
