Is there a way to turn off all section tags for drawings refering to all Sketch Layouts in all the Construction Document Layouts?
Are you looking to turn of just some specific ones or all? You can select them and then hide them.
Are the bubbles filled - meaning have they been placed on a sheet view? If not they should not print, if they are you will need to go into the set-up and check the check box so they will not print if they are not referenced.
Does this help?
I would like to turn off only the views placed in sheets named SK-###.
I do not want to turn off all the section tags, only some of them.
The views have been placed in a layout.
Is there a way to deal with this problem with familis somehow?
Well - for those specific views you can go under visibility graphics (VV or VG keyboard shortcut), the annotation tab and turn off all of them for that view.
You can select them, right click and hide them individually. You cab bring them back by revealing hidden elements (the lightly at the end of the view control bar), selecting them, right click and unhide.
As for dealing with this problem in the family - not that I know of.
If I'm reading the question correctly, I do something similar for working sections (that are not formatted or intended for printing). I created tags for callouts, elevations and sections with family type containing the word "working", then set a filter in all printing views to turn off visibility for all tags with a name including "working". Once the initial filter creation and view template work is done, it has worked without incident. In my working views, I use a filter to turn these working tags red so they're obvious notes to myself.
I got this idea from a discussion board but don't remember where at this point, so I unfortunately can't attribute or provide link.

More Cataclysm change details for druids {WoW}
Apr 12th 2010 3:12PM Just to clarify, "us" meaning resto druids. The interrupt is nice for kitties, it's the one thing I have really wished that kittys had, since atm, you can only pounce at the start of a fight to stun.
I can't speak on the bear skills, as I don't often tank unless the MT is getting his rear-end kicked.

Apr 12th 2010 2:57PM "spoiled".
LOL - for years, we weren't even a viable class (especially for dps). Now we're "spoiled". They could have left us alone to work on other classes and most of us trees would have been okay with that. :)
More Cataclysm change details for druids {WoW}
Apr 12th 2010 2:46PM Actually, from what I've read, the glyph is for the old form, not the new one. If you do glyph it, the skill of turning into the "super-tree" is then called "bloom", instead of "tree of life". Likely, you will become the new sprite for the duration of the skill, then revert back to the old tree form.
More Cataclysm change details for druids {WoW}
Apr 12th 2010 2:29PM Lemming, TBH, that's what gets me. The idea that druids are *supposed* to shift forms - something they stated over and over last I recall - which we have to do in order to get offensive spells! If there is something I really want (cyclone or dash, lets say), then I shift out of a form to do it. Its a trade-off that we knew going in to the class. I've played long enough to remember dreamstate healers to get around the "you can't dps in tree form" issue, but trees were always the better healers of the two. (When comparing apples to apples, of course, as far as skillsets / gear went.) Dreamstate druids could heal, and do it well when played right, but if you wanted to really run an endgame raid, you were a tree. Movement slowness and all. (And it forced you to shift of tree to keep up with the raid... I still do this out of habit sometimes.) And vice versa, if you wanted to really DPS via spells, you were a moonkin, EOF.
If I want to pop a tranquility as a cat because we're taking massive aoe damage and a lot of ppl are low on health, i shift out and do it...
If I need to BR someone as a bear, I shift out and do it... (and pray I don't die from the armor bonuses going away while tanking a mob... lol)
My first reaction to this was a far extreme "HELL NO!!". After reading stuff before posting, I'm still more on the side of meh on the issue than seeing it in any sort of a positive light.
If the "bloom" (or new TOL) sprite could be made, why couldn't that BE the new form, if the explanation is that they didn't have the resources to make an update to the sprites, so they changed the mechanics?
Why couldn't there be a glyph to "show armor", instead of the other way around? You can still show off your armor via inspect... And if being in tree form in PVP meant you died first, then go caster form, popping tree when you had to. It doesn't take THAT long in a 3v3 to figure out who's healing, even without being in a form and having 3 classes that are capable of healing. Half the time when I'm healing WG, I start off in kitty form anyway, just for the stealth / stun in the beginning.
And to whoever said to yap about it a year ago, I didn't know about it then. All that I had read on Cataclysm was very hush-hush to the point where I gave up. No one said anything about anything that I could find.
Admittedly, I didn't pay it as much attention, because I thought at the time that it sounded like they would do some thing that would *entice* me to switch forms more... Put back the movement restriction perhaps. Not *force* me to switch forms *less* because it's on a 3-5 minute long CD and it only lasts 30 seconds. Staying in caster form for the CD actually goes against their stated wish that we switch more, since we'll probably save it for use only when we really need it...
And I already do shift quite a bit, so do many (not all) that are not "top dps", or "top heals" because shifting to do something else will cut down on the recount meters. I think thats why a lot of druids DON'T do it, actually. They're too concerned that their guild / raid will kick them for underperforming (or are too busy showing off), when a well timed innervate / tranquility / etc from a kitty / tree / owl / bear could save the group. Same with top DPS rogues... Many have not 1 interrupt during a fight - even if the fight needs it.
Since I'm equally feral dps / resto (I don't really have a "Main Spec", other than what I'm specifically running in a raid at that moment), I'm both a happy kitty, but a very sad tree...

Tieline Bridge-IT Transmits via IPv6 Networks
Indianapolis - Jun 16, 2011 - Tieline conducted tests of its Bridge-IT IP audio codec via IPv6 by successfully transmitting live bidirectional stereo audio over multiple international hops using IPv6 infrastructure.
Tieline partnered with HostAway, one of Australia's many IPv6-enabled data centers, to connect to the IPv6 infrastructure on June 8, 2011. Two Tieline Bridge-IT audio codecs were programmed with IPv6 Internet addresses, and they connected to each other and successfully transmitted for several hours over the open Internet.
Tieline notes that broadcasters will need to be adept at managing connections between both IPv4 and IPv6 network infrastructures to maintain connectivity across wide area networks such as the Internet.

Pika | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Pika (Japanese: ピカ Pika) was the fourth Pokémon shown to be obtained by Red in the Pokémon Adventures manga and seems to be his closest Pokémon.
Red captured Pika at Pewter City near the beginning of the Red, Green & Blue chapter. Pika had been causing havoc at the market, evading capture with his electric attacks and eating the shops' food. After his capture, Red identified him as coming from Viridian Forest. Pika was initially antagonistic towards Red, but throughout their long journey together, he soon became one of Red's closest companions and one of his most adept battlers. At one point, he was accidentally traded to Blue, who taught him a variety of non-Electric-type moves, including Substitute and Toxic.
In the Yellow chapter, he was the only one of Red's Pokémon to escape from the Kanto Elite Four, and later joined Yellow to help search for Red. During this time he learned to manipulate the decoy created by Substitute into a surfboard, which allowed him to use the move Surf. Eventually, under Yellow's command, it was able to deliver a devastating MegaVolt and defeat Lance, the leader of the Elite Four of Kanto. Before this, Red had reunited with his allies and defeated Bruno, and took Pika back under his wing after a long period of separation.
He temporarily joined Yellow's team again in the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter, when Red went to heal himself at the hot springs of Mt. Silver. Mating with Yellow's Chuchu, he produced an Egg at the Goldenrod Daycare Center, which hatched into a Pichu. He was, however, later brought to Mt. Silver when he and Gold went there to train.
Pika wouldn't make many notable appearances the next time he appeared, but served crucial roles in the FRLG arc, particularly against Deoxys.
In the ending to the Emerald chapter, it is revealed by Gold that Pika wasn't inside his Poké Ball during the Pokédex owners' petrification, but, instead, able to escape, making this the second time Pika had a near-fatal experience (the first being when he escaped the Elite Four while Red got frozen by Lorelei's ice cuffs). Pika is seen wearing Red's hat and using Surf to get to the Battle Frontier to see Red get recovered, while Chuchu is seen using Fly to get to the same destination (wearing Yellow's straw hat). Gold uses this sighting to attempt to convince Emerald to wish upon Jirachi for the restoration of the Pokédex owners.
Contrary to the mechanics of the games, Pika learned Volt Tackle along with his partner and offspring without breeding. All three showcase this by using Volt Tackle against the fake Kyogre.
Red relies heavily on Pika, and has used him against many major opponents including Giovanni and legendary Pokémon such as Mewtwo and Deoxys.

In the games
- Main article: Red's Pikachu (game)
The variation of Red that appears in Generation II has a level 81 male Pikachu, which is his highest-level Pokémon. It was also the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by an NPC in the entire series, but has had that title taken away by three of the rival's Pokémon in Platinum after defeating Sinnoh's Elite Four twenty times. It also appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, now at level 88, effectively regaining this title. Red also uses Pikachu during the Pokémon World Tournament, where it has a varying gender, and is set at level 50.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Dual Spec Salvation {WoW}
Apr 24th 2009 3:57PM I always find it amusing whenever warriors complain about being treated as 'second class citizens'. For a long time, they were THE tank to go to, bar none, no questions asked. Pallies and druids were told to heal or get out. That is not second class. Up until recently, warriors were the top dps in raids, above the pures and the hybrids. That is not second class either.
Now their tanking has been overshadowed by DKs, and their dps has been overshadowed by pures.
Warriors are the mirror class to feral druids (coincidentally, another group that can either dps or tank.) One patch, they're the best, are considered necessary or first class for raiding. Then, people complain, and the next patch they go back to being second class. When warriors are up, ferals are down, and vice versa. It would be lovely if the two groups could be equal and content, but somehow Blizzard always messes up the balancing somehow.

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'
There are a lot of films coming out in the next week or so. The holiday week is unusually packed, with releases of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Adventures of Tintin," "We Bought a Zoo," (which would be a better title with a question mark at the end...We Bought a Zoo?), "A Dangerous Method," "War Horse," and the film currently expected to be the Oscar frontrunner, "The Artist." That's a lot to pick from, so of course we're going to recommend -- in this final edition of "Scarecrow Recommends" -- some titles related to the dark, cerebral period spy drama starring a bunch of jowly old British gents.
John Le Carre's novel "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" was previously adapted for British TV as a six-hour miniseries in 1979. It starred Alec Guinness as master spy George Smiley, who's trying to reveal the identity of a mole in the upper echelons of British intelligence. Now Tomas Alfredson, director of the great Swedish vampire film "Let the Right One In," has readapted it for the cinema, starring Gary Oldman in the Smiley role. It's a fantastic film, less a spy drama than a character piece about getting older and reconciling with one's past.
There are two sequel novels to "Tinker," one of which was also made into a miniseries, again starring Guinness. Smiley's People finds the titular spymaster called out of retirement (this happens a lot) to investigate a Soviet general who may be connected to Smiley's nemesis, the mysterious Soviet spy Karla. Both of these miniseries are absorbing, complicated and deliberately paced. These stories are far from the action-adventure spy stories we're used to from Bond or Bourne, but they're just as exciting.
A few other of Le Carre's novels have also been filmed. 1965's "The Spy Who Came In From the Cold," directed by Martin Ritt and starring Richard Burton, is an especially bleak thriller about an ex-British agent who's brought into a plan to fake his defection to the Soviet Union in order to discredit a KGB agent. Of course, things are never what they seem in films like this. Burton gives one of his best performances as an alcoholic, ego-driven man apparently at the end of his rope, a far reach from the confident, capable superspies the movies usually give us.
Perhaps the most obscure (or at least forgotten) film based on one of Le Carre's novels is 1990's "The Russia House." Sean Connery stars as a London-based book publisher who stumbles upon a Soviet scientist who wants to defect and provide the West with the USSR's nuclear secrets. The British government enlists Connery in a plan to use the scientist's lover (Michelle Pfeiffer) as bait to draw him out and verify the information he's offering. Of course Connery and Pfeiffer fall for each other and, realizing that they're merely pawns in this whole scheme, have to play both sides against one another. There's some particularly gorgeous location footage, as the film was shot in Moscow. This is a quiet, romantic drama rather than a thriller, and an entirely unique (although not entirely successful) film.
Hope you all have enjoyed these recommendations over the last couple of years! Happy Holidays from Scarecrow Video!

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'Sherlock Holmes 2'
I honestly don't remember if I wrote one of these columns for the "original" installment of the new Sherlock Holmes series of films. That film only came out two years ago, which speaks to just how terrible my memory is. In any case, this week Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law return as Holmes and Watson in the sequel, subtitled A Game of Shadows. Apparently our villain this time around is the legendary Professor Moriarty, and it involves the World's Greatest Detective putting on a dress a la Bugs Bunny vs. the Tasmanian Devil.
So here are our picks for the best previous adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous creation.
First there's The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, from 1976. Robert Duvall plays Watson, who lures his friend and mentor Holmes (the great Nicol Williamson) to Vienna, where he'll be treated by Sigmund Freud (Alan Arkin) for his crippling addiction to cocaine. Apparently the drug has been causing Holmes to believe that his brother Mycroft's former tutor, one Professor Moriarty (Sir Laurence Olivier), is also a criminal mastermind. This was based on a novel by Nicolas Meyer, who also wrote and directed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan as well as that weird Time After Time film, the one where H.G. Wells chases Jack the Ripper to '70s San Francisco. More of a comedy-adventure than a mystery, Williamson is my favorite screen Holmes.
Maybe I've recommended it before, but you have to check out 1988's Without A Clue, a more completely comedic spin on the character. In this version, Watson (Sir Ben Kingsley) is the real brains of the operation. Reasoning that nobody would accept him as a brilliant eccentric, he hires a blundering idiot of a drunken actor (Sir Michael Caine) to pretend to be his creation, Sherlock Holmes. I could watch these two actors shout at each other all day, but sadly this movie only runs about an hour and 40 minutes. Still, an overlooked gem.
Then there's Zero Effect, another film I'm sure has appeared here before. It stars Bill Pullman as Daryl Zero, the world's greatest detective. Unfortunately, Zero is a complete basket case. Though a brilliant detective, he's totally unable to function in regular society (unless he's on the case), not to mention paranoid and potentially violent. His poor assistant Steve (Ben Stiller, before he was super famous) is stuck trailing along, trying vainly to keep up with this madman. They find themselves embroiled in a blackmail case. Loosely based on the Holmes story "A Scandal In Bohemia", which features Holmes falling in love with a lady con artist, this is a great little indie film from the late '90s. Shot and set in beautiful Portland, Oregon, by the way.
Oh, and don't forget the new BBC adaptation "Sherlock." It's updated to modern times and stars a gentleman named Benedict Cumberbatch, which is the coolest name ever.
Till next week!

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'New Year's Eve'
First "Love, Actually", then "Valentine's Day", and now this week we have Garry Marshall's follow-up, "New Year's Eve". It seems folks just can't get enough of expensive Hollywood movies featuring a cast of beautiful famous people falling in holiday-based love. As a snooty video store clerk, it's actually in my job description to take all the fun out of that and recommend some "similar" movies you might try instead.
One of the great ensemble comedies in Hollywood history would have to be the legendary (and legendarily silly) 1963 epic "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", which feels like it stars every famous comedian who'd ever been heard of at that time (for those under 30, you may have heard of exactly none of them). To list them all would take up the rest of this article. But they're all playing a bunch of desperate morons on a cross-country hunt for a cache of stolen money. It's three hours packed with cameos, crazy stunts, corny one-liners and ridiculous subplots.
Or you could go in the completely opposite direction with the original 1972 "The Poseidon Adventure", which features the obligatory dazzling cast of stars, except instead of falling in love, they're generally falling to their grisly deaths after the luxury cruise liner upon which they're ringing in the new year capsizes. Gene Hackman as a foul-mouthed preacher has to lead everyone to safety while trying to keep Shelley Winters from completely falling to pieces. This is one of the all time great disaster movies.
But my favorite New Year's Eve title is 1995's "Strange Days", written by James Cameron and directed by Kathryn Bigelow (she also won the Best Director Oscar a couple years back for "The Hurt Locker"). This intense, imaginative thriller takes place on the last day of the year 1999, making it one of the most interesting and awkwardly dated hyperviolent science-fiction mystery action films you'll ever see. Let that last sentence sink in for a second. Anyway, Ralph Fiennes stars as an ex-cop who stumbles into a conspiracy involving a murdered rap star, corrupt cops, evil record company shills and, of course, a device that can record and play back people's every waking experience. This is exactly the kind of bizarro masterpiece that instantly gets overlooked and people like me spend the rest of their lives telling you about.
We'll be back next week!

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'Empire of Silver'
Filmmaking in China has boomed since the 1997 handover of Hong Kong. The HK film industry has always been one of the largest and most prolific in the world. Americans probably think primarily of martial arts films when they think of Chinese or HK cinema, but, much like Hollywood, the industry produces pretty much every conceivable kind of film. But crime films and period epics are certainly staples, sort of like westerns and cop movies are over here.
This week there's a screening of one of those sweeping historical dramas, the 2009 film "Empire of Silver." It's set during the Boxer rebellion and concerns a young man (Aaron Kwok) who must reluctantly take over his clan's silver-hoarding operation.
That same period is also the setting for Nicholas Ray's 1963 film "55 Days at Peking," starring Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner as foreigners trapped during the siege of the titular city by the Boxers. This one is of interest, at least in this case, because it's tacit acceptance of some level of foreign rule in China is exactly the sort of thing modern Chinese films would never condone. These days, Heston and David Niven (who plays a soldier) would be the bad guys. This was also director Ray's final film (and the last film screened at the White House by President Kennedy!).
Or you could try "Bloody Avengers," one of my favorites about the subject, from 1976. Directed by Chang Cheh, this is a more typical historical action film from the Shaw Brothers production studio. It's about three young men, eager to fight the foreign devils, who join up with the Boxers after being tricked into thinking they will be made impervious to bullets. It's not the most historically accurate picture but it does paint a fascinating picture of what a mainstream Chinese audience would have thought of this particular period in their past.
Shaw Studios went back to this well again in 1981, with "Legendary Weapons of China." This one is about a clan leader targeted for assassination by the Boxers and the ruling Empress Dowager after he refuses to dupe his men into believing in the whole "impervious to bullets" thing that came up in Bloody Avengers. This one's notable for having a bit of a comedic side, due a goofy mistaken-identity subplot, and it also features crazy martial arts weapons like "Double Tiger Hook Swords" and "Three-section Chain Whip." Those are even cooler than they sound.
We'll be back next week!

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'The Muppets'
How many times will the word "Muppet" appear in the following article?
Wow, has it really been 12 years since the last theatrically released Muppet movie? Actually, with the exception of the made-for-TV "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz," there hasn't been a Muppet film at all since 1999's "Muppets From Space." This week sees the unveiling of the creatively titled "The Muppets," which finds Jim Henson's lasting legacy entrusted to comedian Jason Segel and director James Bobin (incongruously, perhaps, most well-know for his work on "Da Ali G Show" and, more appropriately, "Flight of the Conchords").
Anyway, this new film promises a return to the spirit of the original The Muppet Show and 1979 film "The Muppet Movie" with a "let's put on a show"-style story involving Kermit and the gang trying to save the old Muppet theater from a greedy oil baron.
Personally, aside from the aforementioned and underrated "Muppets From Space," my favorite entry in the franchise is 1981's "The Great Muppet Caper." It's sort of the perfect kids movie for grownups, what with its retrofitted heist plot and a hilarious turn by Charles Grodin as the villain. It's also a little less sappy than other entries, which sits well with me as I like my Muppets a little less kid-friendly. But Henson's creations weren't limited to Kermit and Piggy
One largely forgotten bit of Muppet history is the 1988 TV series The Storyteller. It stars John Hurt as the titular character, an old man who spins various old European folk tales, each brought to life by Henson's legendary creature shop. The series ran for a brief nine episodes. Almost all were written by the late Anthony Minghella, who famously directed "The English Patient," and his simple but lyrical style is all over the show. There was a follow-up the next year, entitled "The Storyteller: The Greek Myths," which replaced Hurt with future Dumbledore Michael Gambon. It's long out of print, but you can of course find it at Scarecrow.
Henson of course was instrumental in the creation of Sesame Street as well, and one of my favorite bits of Sesame esoterica is 1983's "Big Bird in Japan," which ... well, I probably don't need to explain what it's about. As a child I was (and I remain) fascinated with Japanese culture, and so seeing Bird and Barkley (a favorite Muppet of mine) traipsing around that beautiful country endlessly amused me. There's a fair bit of slapstick, but the culture-clash humor is light and earnest, and the story even takes a few surreally dark turns towards the end. Maybe not for everyone, but you don't need to have a kid in the house in order to enjoy it.
Now if only we can get the old "Muppet Babies" cartoons released on DVD. We'll be back next week!

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'Breaking Dawn'
Fun fact: as far as I know, I'm the only Scarecrow Video employee to have watched all three previous "Twilight" films. I even enjoyed two of them. And before you say anything, no, I wasn't forced to watch them by my girlfriend; she refused even to be in the same room when they were on.
For those who haven't heard, the "Twilight" series is about a teenage girl who falls in love with a 110-year-old man who, because he is an immortal vampire, has been going to high school over and over again since before the Great Depression. This reminds me of Matthew McConaughey's character in "Dazed and Confused," who continues to troll for high school girls well into his 20's because, as he says, "I keep gettin' older ... they stay the same age."
But I digress. This last film has been cloven in twain, certainly for purely artistic reasons. The first part of the final installment in the "Twilight Saga" is called "Breaking Dawn." Part one appears in theaters this weekend, with the second half coming next summer. If you liked it, here are some other romance-tinged vampire films to seek out.
First there's 1973's "Ganja & Hess," starring Duane Jones from the original "Night of the Living Dead" as an archaeologist who becomes a vampire after his crazy assistant stabs him with an ancient dagger. When the assistant's wife comes looking for him (he committed suicide after the attack), Jones begins to fall in love with her. This is a very unusual vampire film; in fact the word is never used at all. It's also deliberately very disjointed, both visually and narratively, in keeping with its main story of a man who feels himself both physically and psychologically divided.
In the mid-'90s, especially given the success of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles novels and Neil Jordan's film of "Interview with the Vampire", you found a lot of gritty indie vampire movies. In 1994 there was "Nadja" and in '95 we had "The Addiction" and "Habit." All three of these films are about disaffected hipster New Yorkers who find themselves with a thirst for blood. We wanted to pick just one to recommend, but then we realized they're all sort of the same movie.
But if you're a "Twilight" fan, maybe you want something a little less serious. Might we recommend 1979's "Love at First Bite"? George Hamilton stars as the legendary Count Dracula, evicted from his home in Transylvania and forced to come to the Big Apple to find love. Let's just say this has a scene in which Dracula and Susan St. James hit the disco floor to "I Love the Night Life" and leave it at that.

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'J. Edgar'
Biopics have a tendency to run together; like romantic comedies, there are a few beats every one seems to hit. The troubled relationship with a parent, a secret addiction or sexual hangup, and usually a failed romance. When you're tied to history it can be difficult to wring a satisfying narrative out of a real person's story. But that doesn't stop Hollywood from cranking out a few new high-profile biographies every year, usually around Oscar season.
This week sees the release of Clint Eastwood's latest film, "J. Edgar," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, of course a biography of the notorious founder of the FBI. Rather than suggest other biopics, we thought we'd bring you some other films that dramatize (and in some cases heavily fictionalize) the history of the Bureau.
First there's 1959's "The FBI Story." Hoover himself had a hand in making this; he was granted approval over almost every aspect of the film's production. It stars Jimmy Stewart as a loyal FBI agent who, while delivering a lecture, recounts his career. The film depicts the Bureau's exploits against the Klan, organized crime, and even the occasional Nazi. Completely whitewashed due to Hoover's insistence that his agency be portrayed as eternally just and squeaky clean, much of the story is apocryphal, but this is nonetheless an entertaining crime picture.
Almost completely in the other direction, we have 1977's "The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover," a sort of nasty tell-all version of Hoover's life. Written and directed by exploitation legend Larry Cohen, the film portrays Hoover as a media savvy liar, a bigot and misogynist, an extortionist and a power-mad control freak, all stemming from his supposed closeted homosexuality. In some ways this falls into the b-movie grindhouse category: most of what makes the film exciting is its hefty dose of innuendo and sleaze, and it's certainly not politically correct. But as a rundown of the worst of what history has lead us to believe about Hoover, it makes a bizarre counterpoint to Eastwood's film.
Last but not least there's the much more recent "Public Enemies." Ostensibly a biopic on notorious criminal John Dillinger (Johnny Depp), this film is more accurately an investigation of the socioeconomic conditions that both drove a criminal like Dillinger and allowed him to flourish as well as those that led to the creation of the FBI and the development of its tactics. Directed by the great Michael Mann, this is a really spectacular realization of a piece of American history, and the level of period detail is staggering (some locations were the same ones occupied by the real subjects themselves. Depp is even wearing Dillinger's suits). If you're expecting a straightforward cops and robbers film, this isn't quite it, but it is a marvelous examination of American mythmaking.

Scarecrow Video recommendations for 'Tower Heist
Everybody likes a good caper movie. The best ones have a rare, almost alchemical combination of our fascination with crime, the ever popular underdog story, and our love of twisty, complicated plots. Certainly the modern paradigm for this would be the "Ocean's" series ("Ocean's Twelve" being both the best entry and the most inexplicably disliked).
This weekend we get "Tower Heist," from "director" Brett Ratner. Ben Stiller leads a big ensemble cast (including Casey Affleck, Gadbourey Sidibe and Matthew Broderick); they're the employees of a luxury Manhattan apartment high-rise, who discover their savings and pensions have been drained by the Madoff-like scoundrel in the penthouse (Alan Alda). Stiller enlists a childhood acquaintance-turned-criminal (Eddie Murphy) to help even the odds.
So how about some other good heist films? Going all the way back to 1955, there's "Rififi," a French film from the great Jules Dassin. The plot's pretty straightforward: an aging gangster is released from prison, and he gets a few of his buddies together for one last score. The centerpiece of the film is the nearly half-hour long burglary sequence, presented with no music or dialogue.
From 1972, there's "The Hot Rock," starring Robert Redford and directed by the great Peter Yates (who also directed "Bullitt"). Based on a novel by Donald E. Westlake, it features Redford as a career criminal who gets roped into a jewel heist by his brother-in-law. This film is more of a caper-comedy than a crime thriller, although that shouldn't suggest to you that it's low on suspense.
Finally you've got perhaps the greatest heist film of all time, John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle," from 1950. Much like Rififi, it's about a guy recently out of the clink (in this case Sterling Hayden) looking to take down one last big target. This isn't just a heist film but an all-time classic noir: bleak, realistic and cynical. Also like Dassin's film, it features a lengthy, detailed and nearly silent heist sequence. It's an absolute classic. And if that's not enough for you, pair it with Stanley Kubrick's "The Killing." Taken together these two films are an amazing double feature.
We'll be back next week!

ICANN considering single batch for evaluation, but not for release of new TLDs
New TLDs will still be metered even if evaluated in one batch.
ICANN is seeking community input on its latest ideas for how to batch new top level domain names.
In its call for comments, it states that it still plans to limit the addition of new top level domains to the root to 1,000 per year. It also wants to spread the additions to the root out over time rather than adding 1,000 at once.
The group says that it has the capabilities to evaluate all 1,930 applications in one batch, with the evaluation concluding in June-July 2013. If it did that, then we'd potentially see new TLDs added to the root in Q3 of 2013.
But a single evaluation batch still doesn't resolve the issue of only adding 1,000 domains in a year, so it's asking for community input on how to handle that. It's also changing the terminology a bit, throwing in the term "metering" instead of batching. L.A. drivers know all about metering as they try to enter a highway. I suspect many groups will call for about 80 or so to be added to the root per month.
I expect plenty of self serving comments to be submitted. Hopefully someone will also come up with a fair and executable idea.
9 Comments
*At-Large Advisory Committee Statement** to the ICANN Board *
*on Prioritization of Internationalized Domain Names in the New Generic Top
Level Domain Program** *
*The At Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) *notes with concern that
Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) Top Level Domains represent only 6% of
the total application for ICANN's new* *generic Top Level Domain (gTLD). We
urge the ICANN Board to prioritize and expedite the evaluation and
processing of IDNs in the new gTLD program based on the following rationale:· Globalization is a key strategic priority for ICANN. IDN
prioritization presents an opportunity for ICANN to enhance its engagement
and outreach to Internet users and expand consumer choice, which serve the
global public interest.· IDN prioritization is crucial for enhancing diversity and
multilingualism on the Internet. The implementation of IDNs in a world
that is multilingual and multicultural makes the Internet more inclusive
and representative of the world that we live in.· The IDN Top Level Domain applications are distinct in that they are
generally not driven by business opportunities and require supportive
policy and encouragement. The market for IDNs needs to be nurtured
carefully for future growth. The small number of applications should not
be interpreted as a lack of user demand for IDNs. Rather, it makes evident
that market forces at the registry level alone is insufficient, and that
the advancement of IDN gTLDs requires supportive policy implementation at
ICANN. The successful implementation of IDN TLDs will gradually create
visibility for IDNs, which will eventually stimulate demand among
communities who would otherwise be marginalized.· Other points?
By the very nature of the beast, all comments will be self serving…or else why would anyone bother? No-one is going to put forth an argument against what they want to see.
They "might" see the light in 2014…
"The current plan indicates that initial evaluation of all applications, processed in a "single batch", can be completed in 11-12 months, possibly less – resulting in publication of results in June-July 2013."
The New gTLDs promoter's silence is deafening!
When do you see them "realistically" available to the general public either to purchase or register?
If the results are out by July 2013 …
I think you are being overly optimistic …
but regardless late 2013 to early 2014 it's a long time from now (nearly year and half) and there is no telling what other mishaps ICANN has in store.Best.

Nina Agdal — Crush of the Day
Nina Agdal is on our radar after having just been announced as the Sports Illustrated 2012 Rookie of the Year. Kudos to Sports Illustrated for coming up with what might be a more pointless award than a Daytime Emmy. But more kudos to Nina Agdal for being so damn hot.
Grenade — Today's SuicideGirl
Jennifer Christianson — Babe of the Day
If you look up the word 'MILF' in the dictionary (if you even own a dictionary), chances are there's a picture of Jennifer Christianson next to it.
Genesis Rodriguez — Crush of the Day
When your father's nickname is 'El Puma,' and your mother is a Cuban model, it's pretty much a guarantee you're going to grow up to be either: A.) The Most Interesting Man in the World or B.) The Hottest Woman Alive. Lucky for us, in Genesis Rodriguez's case, it's the latter.
Jennifer Lawrence — Crush of the Day
Jennifer Lawrence oozes hotness, and to be honest, we don't even think she realizes it. Barely of drinking age, and she's putting Hollywood's A-listers to absolute shame.
Vanessa Minnillo — Crush of the Day
During the boy band craze of the late 90s and early 2000s, we cracked a couple (million) jokes about the guys in the groups like 98 Degrees, N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys. And man do we feel like schmucks now. Justin Timberlake is engaged to Jessica Biel and Nick Lachey has married and planted his seed in Vanessa Minnillo, pretty much the hottest TV personality right now. Take that, Maria Menounos!
Kieve — Today's SuicideGirl
Melissa Joan Hart from 'Clarissa Explains It All' — Still Got It?
Remember the days of 'Clarissa Explains It All,' when Melissa Joan Hart spent her days fending off attacks from her little brother Ferguson Darling and greeting her best friend Sam at her bedroom window?
Gabrielle Nires — Babe of the Day
Get a load of the baby blues on Gabrielle Nires. Catching a glimpse of those would turn us into a giant bumbling pile of prepubescence. Eh, it doesn't take much.
Kentessa — Today's SuicideGirl
Lindzi Cox from 'The Bachelor' — Crush of the Day
'The Bachelor' finale is next week. It's a classic showdown between 'good girl' Lindzi Cox and the all-around unlikeable but very darn good looking Courtney Robertson. 'The Bachelor' finale is looking more like a heavyweight boxing match to win Ben Fla
BelleBane — Today's SuicideGirl
Meet BelleBane, her hobby is sarcasm and her favorite position is something called 'The Flying Pterodactyl.'

A few weeks ago we posted an article on avoiding burnout. That article touched briefly on how essential it is to eat well and stay healthy when you are feeling stressed at work. We did additional research on this topic, and came up with a list of the best foods to eat when you are stressed.
Forget everything you've read or heard about emotional eating being a bad thing. Eating when you're under stress doesn't need to have negative connotation. If you reach for the right foods, snacking when stressed can actually help calm your nerves. Listed below are some great foods that can help subdue your stress.
Almonds are the best choice. They're rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps strengthen your immune system, and they're chock-full of B vitamins, which are believed to help your body create energy. You only need a quarter cup serving of almonds once a day to reap this super food's benefits. If almonds aren't your thing, or you simply want to switch things up a bit, try cracking open a few pistachios. A handful of these green meanies a day can lower blood pressure and may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Packed with vitamin C, oranges are already associated with strengthening the immune system, but they can do much more than that. Vitamin C is believed to help reduce stress by stopping the secretion of cortisol, the hormone responsible for triggering the "fight or flight" response to threat. If you don't have time to peel and eat an orange, you can always pour yourself a glass of Florida's finest.
Thick and hearty, this warm treat is perfect for keeping stress under control. Oatmeal is crammed with carbohydrates, which are thought to make the brain produce serotonin, the chemical linked to feelings of happiness and well-being. Oatmeal is also really high in fiber, which means it will take your tummy longer to digest it. This is great news! The longer it takes your body to absorb carbohydrates, the steadier your serotonin production will be. Avoid ready-made, overly processed oatmeal and instead take the time to make some good old-fashioned oats. Too bad this rule doesn't also apply to oatmeal cookies!
Skim Milk
When I was a child my mom used to serve me warm milk before bed, touting its calming effect. Turns out mom was on to something. In addition to being high in B vitamins, milk contains calcium, which is believed to reduce muscle spasms, stabilize blood sugar, and ease tension. One 8-ounce glass a day is all you need to keep stress at bay.
Dried Apricots
These tasty treats are high in magnesium, the ultimate stress buster. Magnesium helps the body in numerous ways such as maintaining a steady heart rhythm, regulating blood sugar levels, and promoting normal blood pressure. Dried apricots are also high in vitamin C and fiber. While they're easy to snack on, it's important to be mindful of how many you consume since they contain high amounts of fructose (sugar).
Fatty Fish
High fat fish like mackerel, salmon, herring, and albacore tuna contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are linked with keeping adrenaline and cortisol from spiking. Since it may not always be convenient to keep fresh salmon in your desk drawer, you can always opt for fish oil pills. The next time you feel your stress levels rising, reach for one of the above mentioned foods. You may be surprised at how great they make you feel.
Are there any foods that help you relieve stress after a long day that we didn't mention?

geographical nameCountry, Middle East, southwestern Asia. It is on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Area: 119,500 sq mi (309,500 sq km). Population: (2009 est.) 2,845,000. Capital: Muscat. The Omanis are predominantly Arab and tribal in organization. There are also many migrant workers from South Asia and eastern Africa who reside there. Languages: Arabic (official), others. Religions: Islam (official); also Hinduism, Christianity. Currency: Omani rial. Oman is a hot, arid country with high humidity along the coast. The Hajar Mountains parallel the shore of the Gulf of Oman, reaching an elevation of more than 10,000 ft (3,000 m). A broad expanse of sandy desert covers much of the country. Oman has a developing mixed economy, and the production and export of petroleum is its largest sector. It is a hereditary monarchy, with two advisory bodies; its head of state and government is the sultan. Human habitation dates to about the 3rd millennium BCE. The Omani tribal system dates to Arab migration during the 2nd century CE. It was ruled by imams (Muslim religious leaders) of the Ibadi sect from the early Islamic period (mid-8th century) until the 12th century, when local rule was established. The Portuguese controlled the coastal areas c. 1507–1650, when they were expelled. The Al Bu Sa'id, a dynasty founded in the mid-18th century, still rules Oman. The kingdom expanded into eastern Africa in the 18th–19th century, where its capital was at Zanzibar. Oil was discovered in 1964. In 1970 the sultan was deposed by his son, who began a policy of modernization, and under him Oman joined the Arab League and the United Nations. In the Persian Gulf War, Oman cooperated with the forces allied against Iraq. It subsequently continued to expand its foreign relations.

I have over $5,000 dollars in medical bills plus my daily expenses; I can't be caught up what should I do?
Thank you for your question, Elaine.
From what I read it already sounds like you are behind or delinquent on your payments. At least that's what "can't get caught up" means to me. If this is the case your credit is already taking a beating. My recommendation for you is to stop trying to catch up on the medical bills. It sounds like you are chipping away at it little by little and the $5,000 balance is not going to be going away anytime soon. Stop paying on it and come back to it when you are in a better situation financially in a year or two from now.
Keep in mind, that if you leave it alone and come back to it or continue to chip at it, it will still be there 2-3 years from now. Either way the choice is yours

Amex Sports Betting
While many view American Express as a high society, business type credit card, the fact is; Amex can be used at a number of online sports wagering websites to fund a sports betting bankroll. Some won't leave home without it, while others won't bet on sports without it. Probably the best reason to fund your online wagering account with Amex is the high limit that the cards normally carry.
See a big game coming up where you are positive that one of the teams is a lock? Fund your sports betting bankroll with American Express and load up on it! With some sports betting websites offering, up to 50% or more in first deposit bonuses, the high spending limits offered by Amex brings you more bang for your betting buck.

Betting Sites That Take Amex
Online Betting Site | 1st Deposit Bonus | Min Deposit | Link to Site |

With a wide variety of card options, from the standard Green Card to the opulent Centurion Card, sports betting with American Express is both ultra safe as well as highly convenient. If your favorite online wagering website doesn't accept the traditional Amex credit cards, sports bettors can use American Express to load up a line of credit. That credit can then be transferred your sports betting account. Some sports betting sites will even accept your American Express card directly over the phone.
Alternatively, you can always purchase a preloaded gift card that is specifically tailored to Internet shopping. Speaking of Internet shopping, it pays to shop around when searching for the best online sports betting websites.

*Authors Note* Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus is a PS3 exclusive title. Some mild spoilers may be contained for the purpose of this review.
Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus is many things: The final entry for this console generation, a return to traditional Ratchet & Clank platforming and seemingly a conclusion to the Future series. They've been through a lot together this generation from thwarting Emperor Tachyon attempts to wipe out Ratchet (the last of the Lombax's) in 'Tools of Destruction', to 'Quest for Booty' and Ratchet's search for his lost buddy Clank and finally into 'A Crack in Time', the return of Dr. Nefarious, and Azimuth's attempt to use the power of the Great Clock for his own purposes.
Everything finally concludes with 'Into The Nexus', where both Ratchet and Clank are escorting criminals Vendra and Neftin Prog to the Vartax Detention Center. The pair manage to escape, obtaining the Dimensionator along the way and leaving Ratchet & Clank stranded on the planet Yerek. The pair plan to assume control of the Nethers, a species trapped on the other side of inter-dimensional rifts with immense power and use them to rule the universe, Ratchet & Clank on the other hand are working to prevent this from happening as any good protagonists do.
Into The Nexus is a shorter, far more compact experience when compared to entries such as 'Tools of Destruction' or 'A Crack in Time' – the content is all there, the same high quality platforming, the wacky weaponry and the awesome sense of humour, it's just been crammed into a more bite size experience. The game will clock in at approximately 6-7hours depending on your difficulty setting of choice, how keen you are to unlock all the weapons, armour and how much of the Destructapalooza you want to complete. There are five different planets you will explore before your final mission and while the majority of the game plays much like previous entries, there are segments where Clank enters some of the planets Rifts that pay homage to some of 2D platformings greats while adding the Future series' popular gravity effects for added challenge. These serve as both a challenge and a refreshing change of pace for the game.
As previously mentioned there is the Destructapalooza to explore which sees the pair compete in a range of different events to earn rewards with major prizes being awarded at the end of the Bronze, Silver and Gold cups. All of them offer serious challenge even for the most hardened of series fans. Finally, upon completion of the campaign a Challenge mode is unlocked, which essentially serves as a New Game +, allowing you to carry over weapons and armour into your new play-through along with all gained experience points. For the player who completes the campaign in short time, Insomniac have ensured that those players get extra value from their purchase post completion and they've nailed it on execution.
The Ratchet & Clank games of this generation have been simply stunning, extracting everything from their graphics engines and evoking a real Pixar standard in the final product, and while the engine is beginning to show its age somewhat, 'Into the Nexus' still stands up as one the prettiest games we've seen, backed by some equally impressive artistic flair that shows in both character, and world design. There are some occasionally weird physics bugs, and I managed to stumble upon an exploit that resulted in me running over an un-rendered area into complete nothingness, but all in all the standard is once again quite high. While much of the soundtrack seems to have been drawn from past Future games, the quality of the voice acting is once again of the top-most standard, making the jokes or little character quirks that much more amusing.
Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus is an experience that any series fan, as well as fans of the platforming genre should not miss. Sure, it's a far shorter experience than what you can expect to get from other games in the series but at a reduced price and with the incredible charm that the game possesses it more than holds up in value. If this is Ratchet & Clanks farewell to the Future series as well as PS3, then they've well and truly gone out in style.

on April 7, 2014Whoever filled out Brown's formal statement of organization for his campaign exploratory committee left blank the small gray box asking for the candidate's party affiliation. The Brown committee received a letter from the Federal Election Commission on Friday with a gentle reminder that Brown needed to select a party. As of Monday morning, his file on the FEC Web site did not have him listed as a Republican. Brown's campaign said it was an "administrative oversight that will be fixed when they drop exploratory' from the committee name on Thursday." On Brown's statement of candidacy form he is listed as a Republican.
Hey, the guy ran twice in Massachusetts and, on all of his campaign material, you needed an electron microscope to discover that he is a Republican.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Phoenix is a bad word to some candidates for governor, especially when they're on a podium in Arizona's second largest city.
Candidates took more shots at Arizona's most populous city than each other during a Tuesday evening candidate forum sponsored by the Tucson Citizen and the Goldwater Institute, a conservative think tank in Phoenix.
"I am from Phoenix, I apologize for that," independent Richard Mahoney said to appreciative titters from the reservation-only audience of 300. "The message is very simple: Phoenix should not rule the state of Arizona."
Democrat Alfredo Gutierrez said state government must be decentralized with agencies relocated to Tucson, Douglas and other communities around Arizona. "Every major decision, every trivial decision is made within three miles of the state Capitol," Gutierrez said. "We're going to take state government out of Phoenix and take it where it belongs to all of the people of Arizona."
Secretary of State Betsey Bayless appeared to go out of her way to avoid mentioning by name where Phoenix is located. Bayless trumpeted her budget-balancing work on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors as "experience with leading a major segment of Arizona government through a period of financial crisis."
Republican front-runner Matt Salmon made only an oblique reference to Phoenix, at one point offering to ship the NFL's Arizona Cardinals southward.
Democratic front-runner Janet Napolitano did not knock her hometown but said she appreciated the cultural and economic differences between Phoenix and Tucson.
"This county elected me attorney general. This county is a county I respect," Napolitano said of traditionally Democratic-leaning Pima County.
On another subject, Salmon pledged to defend religious freedom when questioned about the constitutional doctrine of separation between church and state.
"We have a responsibility to defend everybody's right to believe or not to believe according to their conscience," Salmon said. The former congressman noted that he had met in Tibet with persecuted monks and spoke out on their behalf during meetings with Chinese leaders.
The question posed by a news media representative serving as a panelist for the forum referenced Salmon's recent statement on a Christian television network that this election represents an opportunity to put government back in the name of God.
Democrat Mike Newcomb said Salmon's remark on the television program missed the point. Salmon talks about Christian values but his campaign does not stress poverty or social justice, Newcomb said. "Your rhetoric doesn't match that," Newcomb said.
Other candidates participating in the forum were Republican Carol Springer, Democrat Mark Osterloh - the sole Tucsonan in the race - and Libertarians Barry Hess and Gary Fallon.

Big Daddy
Recently got a new (old) super socket 7 motherboard by MiTac (5114VU). It has on-board video and audio. I have added a AMD k6-2 400 CPU, 128 MB of memory, 1.7 & 4.3 GB hard drives, CD-ROM and a 56K modem. Everything comes up great. But all of a sudden when booting up it loses its video setting and gives a message about the adapter can't handle the current settings. It displays on the screen the DISPLAY setting screen. The colors on the monitor are off. I reload the video drivers and everything is ok again. I change the setting to 256 colors and 800 x 600. It stays that way and then all off a sudden it goes away again. Run setup again for the video and it comes back. The video is an AGP Trident Blade 3D with 8MB of shared memory. How can I get it to keep the settings. The monitor setting is DEFAULT MONITOR (the actual monitor is an Everex brand).

Kellogg's/CARQUEST team gets first pit crew award at Michigan
- Jun 19, 2007
- 5 Team
CONCORD, N.C. (June 19, 2007) — The pit crew of the No. 5 Kellogg's/CARQUEST Chevrolet earned their first Checkers/Rally's Double-Drive Thru Challenge win of the 2007 season Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.
The team, which includes D.J. Richardson, J.D. Holcomb, Rick Pigeon, Jason Jones, Josh Kirk, Jason Dalrymple and Brad Pickens, spent the least amount of time on pit road throughout last Sunday's 400-mile race. Their performance on pit road also propelled driver Kyle Busch to a sixth-place finish.
Winning the challenge puts the Kellogg's/CARQUEST team in the running for the "Pit Crew of the Year" award, which is announced at the conclusion of the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series season.
The award and its $111,150 prize is traditionally awarded to the team that wins the most Checkers/Rally's Double-Drive Thru awards throughout the season.
The No. 5 Kellogg's/CARQUEST team finished third in the overall Pit Crew of the Year standings following the 2006 NEXTEL Cup season. The No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet team of Hendrick Motorsports took home the top prize last season.
