Kasim Reed, the Mayor of Atlanta, addressed a group of reporters about the impending loss of the Thrashers and cited insurmountable financial losses as the reason why investors have passed on trying to keep the franchise in Georgia. Reed made some interesting comments with regards to the Thrashers and the impact their departure will have on the city. The Mayor cited "a lot of positive things going on in the sports franchise space" that should help soften the blow of the Thrashers flying north.
Via Chris Vivlamore, Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
"I think any time we lose a major sports franchise it is tough. It's going to hurt the city, but we are going to withstand it just fine. We will get through it. We have a lot of positive things going on in the sports franchise space that I think we will be announcing pretty soon that will offset it a bit."
Hmm, what "positive things" could he be referring to? Could the Georgia Dome's roof have a repair job in sight that could actually make it safe? Will the city pony up tax breaks for people who actually show up to watch the Atlanta Braves? Our money is on an Atlanta based franchise in the rumoured return of SlamBall!
Reed reiterated that the reported losses associated with the Thrashers have proven to be an obstacle too big to overcome for any potentially interested parties:
"The Thrashers, as you know, are in an extraordinary position because of the amount of losses that are associated with the team. So we have not yet seen a path where we can reverse those losses fast enough. If you talk to the Atlanta Spirit ownership, they will share the same thing. It's not a lack of the city being willing to step up and do something about it. It is a partner with deep enough pockets to be willing to sustain pretty significant losses. We have not yet had any of the individuals in our community who are prepared to take that on. But it has not been for lack of trying, believe you me."
Vivlamore also noted several comments from Thrashers goaltender Chris Mason in his notebook. One comment in particular stands out in which Mason cited a lack of financial commitment from ownership as a key reason the team struggled in their efforts to reach the playoffs last season:
"I don't think we were given a legitimate chance," Mason said. "We made a couple of good moves for [Radek Dvorak] and [Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart] at the deadline. But it wasn't enough. We were such a young team. It's hard to make the playoffs. We believed we could win but sometimes you need someone who can score an extra goal or two or help on the power play. Our management was hampered by budget. It's still hard to make the playoffs even if you have the money to spend. When you don't have it, it's even harder. You see it every year. Good teams don't make the playoffs. A couple of more pieces and we could have been in."
The 'Thrashers to Winnipeg' announcement that Stephen Brunt of The Globe and Mail reported would take place Tuesday, May 24th is not happening, that much we know. Brunt may have acted prematurely on some inaccurate information or: Gary Bettman and the NHL didn't take too kindly to his breaking of the story.
True North Sports and Entertainment and Atlanta Spirit continue to negotiate, but nothing has been finalized yet. We're not ready to call this song 'Stephen Brunt was wrong all along', but the early report has definitely had a bucket of water thrown over it with no announcement coming today.
So we shall see what the future holds for the Atlanta Thrashers, but it's safe to say they're good as gone in the Peach State.

Nice Art: Raw GAGZ
The Blown Covers blog recalls the gag insert in Raw #8 which included an one page gags by Burns, Marischal, Panter, and the rest of the Raw gang. The punchlines were created by commitee however:
Harbinger #3 Preview
I've been handed a preview for Harbinger #3 by Joshua Dysart, Khari Evans and Lewis LaRosa, due out on August 15th. In this chapter, our hero finally lands at the Harbinger Foundation. As I've said before, and probably will be saying for the foreseeable future, this is a comic that does not flinch at embracing the dark side of super powers. It looks like the slow build towards a particularly twisted conflict of moral agendas is picking up a little momentum.
Advance Review: Hawkeye #1
Digital Comics: $3 spent
Webcomic alert: Battle Zoo
I actually don't know anything about this, but the cover alone has got me. It's the creation of Brad McGinty.
Must Read: Women Write About Comics
As an addendum to the previous post, and for further reading, there's currently a Women Write About Comics roundtable going on, with interviews with lots of smart people. The most recent is with Alexa Dickman of the Ladies Making Comics tumblr and her indispensable Women in Comics wiki which is doing an amazing job of bringing to light tons of forgotten women in the comics industry. Lots of smart talk, including this gem:
More on comics, women, branding and the future
My essay on Marvel and DC as dedicated safe spaces for male-focused entertainment got quite a bit of talk going, which is the best possible reaction to any essay. Several very smart people wrote rebuttals, and these posts also generated very thoughtful comment sections.

Nice art: Eric Shanower covers THE ROAD TO OZ #1
Oz-o-phile Eric Shanower has created this nice variant cover for the first issue of Marvel's ROAD TO OZ adaptation, which he's also writing. The insides are drawn by Skottie Young, so it's win all around.
You may recall that this is the first proper sequel to THE WIZARD OF OZ, written by L. Frank Baum, and finds Dorothy returning to Oz and confronting rising tensions with rising third world countries and issues of gender and identity. And I'm not even kidding.
The Walking Dead #97-99 get second printing with landscape cover
After WALKING DEAD #100 became the best selling comic in 15 years, folks wanted to go back and read the first three parts of the storyline, in WALKING DEAD #97-99. Thus a second printing has been necessitated. The new printing will have new covers, by Charlie Adlard, depicting the villain Negan and his now-infamous baseball bat, Lucille.
Comic Rocket now indexes 9000 webcomics

A video taken of a touchscreen voting machine in Pennsylvania refusing to capture an Obama vote, and instead casting the vote for Romney, was uploaded to Reddit this morning. The video garnered almost 37,000 upvotes and served up a painful 18 second flashback to post-2004 fear of "stolen votes." After hitting Reddit, the video immediately went viral, ricocheting across news websites and Twitter feeds.
The anonymous user who uploaded the video and goes by the handle centralpavote wrote in the video's YouTube description:
My wife and I went to the voting booths this morning before work. There were 4 older ladies running the show and 3 voting booths that are similar to a science fair project in how they fold up. They had an oval VOTE logo on top center and a cartridge slot on the left that the volunteers used to start your ballot.
I initially selected Obama but Romney was highlighted. I assumed it was being picky so I deselected Romney and tried Obama again, this time more carefully, and still got Romney. Being a software developer, I immediately went into troubleshoot mode. I first thought the calibration was off and tried selecting Jill Stein to actually highlight Obama. Nope. Jill Stein was selected just fine. Next I deselected her and started at the top of Romney's name and started tapping very closely together to find the 'active areas'. From the top of Romney's button down to the bottom of the black checkbox beside Obama's name was all active for Romney. From the bottom of that same checkbox to the bottom of the Obama button (basically a small white sliver) is what let me choose Obama. Stein's button was fine. All other buttons worked fine.
Gawker spoke to a voter fraud expert who confirmed that the machine is not purposefully or maliciously attempting to keep people from voting for Obama, but instead that it's a mechanical error and simply needs to be re-calibrated. "It's a concern but not because of fraud," the expert said. "That's an obviously miscalibrated iVotronic (ES&S) voting machine… we would recommend that poll workers would recalibrate the machine and everything would be fine."
Now, NBC News reports that the machine in question has been taken out of commission in Pennsylvania. (The anonymous user's Reddit name, centralpavote, indicates that the machine was located in central Pennsylvania.) Score one for outraged internet commenters.
Mother Jones reports that a representative for the Pennsylvania Department of State has stated that a machine in Perry County, Pennsylvania was removed, re-calibrated and brought back online, but he couldn't confirm that it was the same machine from the YouTube video.
"There was a single complaint, so they recalibrated the machine, did a test run, and put it back online. We've had no complaints since then," the rep told Mother Jones.
Thanks for your article on this weblog. From my own personal experience, there are times when softening right up a photograph may well provide the photographer with a chunk of an creative flare. Often times however, that soft cloud isn't what precisely you had as the primary goal and can quite often spoil an otherwise good snapshot, especially if you thinking about enlarging that.

Just got back from a wonderfully long weekend (more on that later). I scrapped that other table I was working on. It was getting clunky, ugly and I just couldn't gather up the motivation to fix how it was leaning oddly to the side. I very happy with this new idea. It's so easy to put together, it looks pretty cool, and it uses all these empty boxes we've have just sitting around.

What really happened with the NYC taxi logo
Makes me have a little bit more appreciation for the designers, Wolff Olill. (I'm not sure I can completely forgive and forget after the London 2012 atrocity, though.)
Poor Wolff Olins. Can't get a break no matter how hard they try — and lord knows that if anyone tries hard, maybe a little too hard, it's Wolff Olins. We all know (and most, not me) hate the London 2012 identity and pretty much everyone is baffled by the Wacom color thingie, but it's perhaps the new New York City taxi logo that everybody, at least in the (212) area code, has hated the most. And with good reason. But, for a change, it's not Wolff Olins' fault.

Crispy dosa
This feels good, he said, allowing the flavours of spicy chutney, smooth butter and crispy dosa to sink in. They settled down in the vast area like fine mounds of aroma, taste, colours dancing in the stomach, with the aftertaste gushing in the food pipe. Eating with him was like experiencing the taste in every detail, letting the food talk to you. Before he could burp (well his niceties wouldn't allow him to!!!), I asked whether he wanted milkshake. Ah, he said let the flavours sink in more before I corrupt it with other tastes. Eh, but why milkshake he said. I tired of shakes, smoothies and phirangi stuff. Phirangi, did I hear that from a person who almost ran away from this country for greener pastures. I still remember him gleaming from other side of glass, holding his passport as though his life rested in there. Before we could bide a decent farewell, he rushed in, pushing the enormous luggage to security check. That was years back, when I still hoped he would come back, atleast for the elaborate lunches. Those were days, when amma's sambar rice would tickle his taste buds and he would push his purchased dhabha to my side and gorge on the sambar and vegetables. Does your mom still make gongura, avakai, puttu……he asked pushing me back to present. Well, yes. I will parcel some for you, to fit into your foreign suitcase. You know they parcel specially for foreign travels. Hmmm, he murmured before shouting for a coffee. Naraye decoction and konjum milk. Ah, ha black coffee, I smirked. So the phirangi aspect comes out, isn't it.
So, well, how come this trip. The silence was filled by the coffee slurps moving in annoying slow pace. With the conversation thread lost, I watched him gulp the last drop of coffee and pushing the dabara. There he said, looking at the brown sugar crystals settled down in the dabara, this is indulgence, loads of sugar, thick milk and thicker decoction. This is worth a lifetime of wait.
So, should there be a wait. By now, the aromas had sunk in and we were back to familiar after taste. He said, some more time. Outside, rain drops fell from the roof, like a lost conversation still trying to convince us. Before there was a question on how long could I wait, we paid the bill, and watched the rain drops from the roof get lost in the puddle. For now, I said lets head home before it pours. Before the deluge, we would have answers.

She scribbled clandestine and surreptitious in plain paper, applying second layer of ink on C. This is it, she heard him saying. That's what sells, clandestine. May be this would click, he murmured looking at her rucksack of stories. She tossed the book away, watching the bold C shimmer in bed lamp and waited for S to conjoin. He murmured again, leave it. You may spin a story on us. Beyond the shimmer, and on the other side of darkness, he turned away, pulling the bedsheet closer to him. She watched his bare shoulders peeping from the bedsheet and scribbled a bold S watching him sleep in peace. Tomorrow, the tryst begins.
Fwd: Cappuccino
The love sign in the huge cappuccino cup smirked at her. She wanted to pierce right through the middle, disturbing its peace for that moment. Far away, two people cocooned themselves away from the world, sipping two straws from one cup. Bliss, happiness and unhygienic!!! Sigh!!!
She shut herself from them and watched water trickle down from the glass panes. Once, she was with him in one umbrella, with his fingers writing some strange love words in the glass panel, which would be wiped away by the rain water. One more word and again water would clean it away. Last he wrote memories and rain stopped. She didn't remember what happened after that. Right now, the bill of huge cappuccino cup demanded the price of love.

Watching calm shadows from my windows
Sea gushes in your city
Engulfing everyone in strange passion
I speak of discordant emotions
of calm seas and gushing winds

"It is human nature to believe that the phenomena we know are the only ones that exist, and whenever some chance discovery extends the limits of our knowledge, we are filled with amazement," Marie Curie wrote when she pondered the lack of knowledge about radioactivity in Century Magazine, January 1904. "We cannot become accustomed to the idea that we live in a world that is revealed to us only in a restricted portion of its manifestations Š how numerous and varied may be the phenomena which we pass without a suspicion of their existence until the day when a fortunate hazard reveals them."
It was this intrigue that interested Mary Neu in actinide chemistry as a graduate student and later prompted her to come to Los Alamos. "Actinide chemistry," Neu says, "is very complicated and underexplored. There is much room for many important discoveries."
Neu performed her undergraduate work at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, starting out as a geology major. She soon discovered that other physical sciences were also interesting to her and switched her major to inorganic chemistry and mathematics.
She completed her doctorate at the University of California-Berkeley with her dissertation, "Coordination Chemistry of Two Heavy Metals: Ligand Preferences in Lead Complexation, Toward the Development of Therapeutic Agents for Lead Poisoning; Plutonium Solubility and Speciation in the Environment."
Working on her doctorate, Neu conducted a wide range of synthetic inorganic chemistry and solution thermodynamic studies.
She conducted the lead chemistry on the UC Berkeley campus under the direction of Professor Ken Raymond and did plutonium chemistry at Lawrence Berkley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories under the direction of Professor Darleane Hoffman and in collaboration with Bob Silva, Heino Nitsche, and Richard Russo.
She completed her doctorate at the first Glenn Seaborg Institute established at Livermore in the early 1990s.
As a UC President's postdoctoral fellow, she came to Los Alamos in 1993 and worked with Dave Clark in a group that was then in the Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry (INC) Division. Her early research here was on the synthesis and characterization of actinide carbonate species. Neu studied the processes and means that actinides form chemical bonds with other molecules.
Currently, Neu is deputy group leader of the Actinide, Catalysis, and Separations Chemistry Group (C-SIC) and is conducting research in three general areas. In the first research area, fundamental coordination chemistry, Neu is studying ligand preferences of actinides in different oxidation states and the resulting geometries of actinide compounds that may be used in new separations and processing technologies.
A second area of research is environmental speciation and behavior-studying and predicting the nature of contaminant plutonium. Neu's research, performed in collaboration with several colleagues at Los Alamos, helped identify the common oxide of plutonium(IV) as the chemical species that is prevalent in soils at Rocky Flats.
To determine how important and stable particular species are, Neu studies the formation and thermodynamics of plutonium complexes of carbonate, hydroxide, chloride, and other ligands under environmental conditions. These studies, together with actinide-mineral interactions and geochemical calculations, support the development of predictive contaminant mobility models and new cleanup technologies.
Neu's third area of research is actinide interactions with microorganisms and microbial chelators‹with the goal of using those microorganisms to stabilize or otherwise transform plutonium. For these research projects Neu works in close collaboration with colleagues in the Biosciences (B) Division, primarily Larry Hersman.
Her most exciting recent research results involve the reduction of plutonium(VI) and (V) by a common bacteria, shewanella putrifaceans. Although the exact mechanism is not well understood, these are the first results that indicate plutonium can be reduced through bacterial respiration to less environmentally mobile forms. Neu plans to further study this relationship and will submit a paper to the journal Science. She also has applied for Laboratory Directed Research and Development funds for the project.
An outcome of this research with bacteria is that she and her team have found that the toxicity of plutonium and uranium to microorganisms is generally less than that of some of the more common hazardous metals, such as zinc, nickel, and cadmium.
Her work brought her to Los Alamos because it is one of the few places in the country where she can research what she enjoys-fundamental actinide science.
She sees real difficulties in the future of actinide research and radiochemistry because there arenąt many professors teaching these topics any more. The biggest challenge to actinide science, Neu believes, is that bureaucracy, old equipment, and aging facilities impede actinide research here as well as at other facilities.
Most of her work is done in the fifty-year-old Chemistry, Metallurgy, and Research (CMR) Building. Hope is on the horizon: A new facility is planned. Neu is enthusiastic about the CMR Replacement project and hopeful that research space will be included and improved in the new facility, which is scheduled to be built around 2010.
"There is a tremendous need for modern radiological facilities across the Department of Energy complex and especially at Los Alamos, where such facilities are essential to both our core missions and to our research excellence," Neu said.
She has a passion for actinides, and doesnąt do it any differently than she did ten years ago. "I wanted to be safe ten years ago and I want to be safe now," Neu said. "I'm optimistic about the science and the incredible information we have yet to discover, but I'm also knowledgeable of the nontechnical challenges associated with actinide research."

Movie Houses of Worship: Minneapolis's The Trylon Microcinema
Features By J.L. Sosa on January 26, 2014 | Comments (1)The Trylon Microcinema Location: 3258 Minnehaha Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN No. of Screens: 1 Opened: July 2009 History: You can't properly tell the story of the Trylon without pausing to remember the late, great Oak Street Cinema, an Art Deco style movie house in Minneapolis that screened classic and indie selections from around the world. The Oak Street was kind of like my first car: It was old, clunky and died an ignoble death, but it took me places I'd never been. Trylon repertory programmer Barry Kryshka takes the story from here: "A lot of the people who were instrumental in founding the Trylon were involved in the Oak Street Cinema. The big impetus was we loved the programming the Oak Street was doing, and when it stopped we wanted to continue it somewhere else, some way." Barry and others launched the nonprofit Take-Up Productions and started showing movies in 2006 anywhere they could, whether it was in a city park or a back alley. By 2009, the group had saved up enough to buy their own permanent space, in a former art supply store. "We built out the theater and the projection booth," says Barry. "It was a warehouse, basically."
In contrast to Stephen King's famous tomes The Stand, The Shining, and It, the author's breakthrough novel – 1974's "Carrie" – is relatively fit for adaptation as a feature-length film due to its various publications rarely running over two hundred pages. That said, beyond the usual acts of restructuring typical of Hollywood treatments, the movie versions of Carrie White's story have stopped short of recreating the third section of King's novel, "Aftermath." Thus, they forego the subsequent history of a town that must physically and psychologically rebuild itself after an unfathomable tragedy. This section of King's novel surveys the systemic long-term reactions to the Carrie incident: the development of scientific research and social programs for telekinetics, the slow rebuilding of a small town, and, naturally, a nation's serious look in the mirror on the subject of high school bullying. While such a vast third act rarely takes shape in Carrie films, it's the act that we're collectively most familiar with when it comes to national news stories about young people, violence, and the ever-persistent phantom of bullying (still a term that resists a stable definition in school administrations), whether these real-life tragedies take the form of suicides or mass shootings.
7 Scenes We Love From 'Badlands'
Features By Christopher Campbell on October 13, 2013 | Comments (4)As I noted in a Scenes We Love post on True Romance last month, Terrence Malick's Badlands is among my top five favorite films. It might even be my very favorite, which is interesting because I don't love any of the director's other works (I do like some, hate one…). Now I get to showcase the film itself, because today marks the 40th anniversary of its premiere as the closing night selection of the 11th New York Film Festival. The trouble is, how do you select specific scenes from a film you love so much and find so brilliant that there's not one worthless second let alone scene in the whole thing? Badlands is a perfect specimen of cinema to me, so few things stand out above others. Fortunately, I don't get to do too much choosing since there aren't too many clips actually available online. So, as Kit (Martin Sheen) would do, let's mark our memories with what we can find (if these were rocks, it'd also be what we can carry). And as Holly (Sissy Spacek) would do, I'll offer some commentary that is subjectively selective, not completely descriptive and, since I've never wanted to know too much about the production of the film, probably rather naive. Don't judge me for not being as poetic, though; I won't even try. And don't judge the video quality of the clips, which may still be better than the time I went to finally see Badlands on the big screen and it turned […]
Chloe Moretz Offered Another Blood-Drenched Role as Lead in 'Carrie' Remake
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on March 27, 2012 | Comments (2)Late last week, Nathan graced us with a story about MGM's supposed short list for the lead role in Kimberly Peirce's remake of Carrie, a list that included Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett at the top, with other names like Dakota Fanning, Lily Collins, and Emily Browning rounding out the apparent second-string picks. It was a relatively odd list – a mix of ages, looks, and star power, with only one name really sticking out as the actress most likely to get as gritty and desperate as Sissy Spacek so memorably did in Brian DePalma's original film (based on the 1974 Stephen King novel). That actress is of course 15-year-old Moretz, who has already turned in her share of gritty and desperate work before even hitting legal driving age (see: Kick-Ass, Let Me In, and Hick). Thankfully, it looks like MGM and Peirce agree with my assertion, as Deadline Fulton reports that the studio and the director have now made a formal offer to Moretz. The outlet adds that, despite last week's short list, "Peirce and the studio had an eye on Moretz. The studio denied it at the time, but what actually happened is, Moretz didn't meet with Peirce until last weekend. She got the job immediately."
Good Remake News: Kimberly Peirce May Be the One to Remake 'Carrie'
In Development By Jack Giroux on January 4, 2012 | Comments (3)We've all heard the grumblings and complaints over the prospect of a new remake of Brian De Palma's adaptation of Carrie. What's to care about with this remake? We've already got a pretty perfect adaptation. But now some of us can care, with the news that Kimberly Peirce could possibly be at the helm. Peirce is both an odd and kind of perfect choice for this project. Her acclaimed Boys Don't Cry and lesser acclaimed but still pretty good Stop-Loss are both what one could call psychological horror movies, and Carrie very much is that. Peirce seems adept crafting films that chronicle young people going through a tough time, so she makes for an oddly suitable fit, really. MGM and Screen Gems are supposedly interested in a "gritty" take, despite the story involving a girl using psychic powers. Peirce, clearly being a lover of making all things gritty and realistic, could probably give them the realism they (oddly) want. Deadline Hermon is currently reporting she's "in talks" to direct, and I certainly hope that deal goes through.
Elizabeth Olsen and Dakota Fanning To Convince Us They Are 'Very Good Girls'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on May 12, 2011 | Comments (1)Big news out of Cannes, a bunch of people are getting together and they're going to make a movie. Very Good Girls is noteworthy for a couple reasons. Mostly people will probably be interested in it because it's starring Elizabeth Olsen and Dakota Fanning, who are cute young girls. But also, some other folks might be interested to hear that a pretty substantial crew of talent is supporting the two PYTs. Peter Sarsgaard, Dustin Hoffman, and Sissy Spacek are also signed on. You know who they are I'm sure. And most people have caught wind of who Fanning is by now, especially since she's been in those gigantic Twilight movies. But what about Olsen? She's become kind of an it girl recently, as she appeared in Martha Marcy May Marlene and Silent House, which both debuted this year at Sundance. In the past few months I've gone from having no clue that there was a third Olsen sister, to hearing Elizabeth's name mentioned all over the place, so I'd say that she's one to watch.
Sissy Spacek Sips Supernatural 'Sweet Tea' For Directing Debut
In Development By Scott Beggs on May 10, 2011 | Comments (1)It's never clear how an actor turned director will fair on the other side of the camera, but Sissy Spacek has to have learned a few things during her outstanding career. According to 24 Frames, Spacek will soon make that transition when she directs Sweet Tea. The script was written by Blood Diamond scribe C. Gaby Mitchell, and it based off of a novel by Julia Oliver called "Goodbye to the Buttermilk Sky." According to the publisher, the 1994 novel "portrays a young wife's increasingly dangerous infidelity with cinematic precision and palpable suspense. Soon, with only her housekeeper as a confidant, Callie breaks society's rules about race and class as well as her marriage vows. The result is a chain of events that will lead to tragedy and a woman's stunning decision about love, passion, and the future of her life." It's always encouraging when a printer throws in the word "cinematic" to describe a book about to be turned into a movie. The story also has an element of the supernatural, which is most likely part and parcel with the magical realism of the Southern tradition. Plus, there's something great about seeing Spacek tackle a southern story that takes place during the Depression. Hopefully she'll be able to translate her talents to the opposite end of the lens. Also, hopefully no one pours a bucket of pig's blood on her when she's about to call "Action!"
Movie News After Dark: Abe Lincoln Slays, VHS Comes Back, Dark Knight Details and Kermit Gets Awkward with Johnny Depp
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 9, 2011 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It too slays vampires and zombies. Not in a top hat, mind you, but it slays them nonetheless. It also believes strongly that it will be assassinated (by /Film's Page 2) while attending a revival of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C. "There's something in the American psyche, we want our presidents to be warriors. We're giving that to Abraham Lincoln, sort of posthumously in this case." That's what Seth Grahame-Smith had to say A in an interview with The New York Times. It's part of NYT giving the world its first look at Benjamin Walker as Abe Lincoln, the ax-wielding, vampire slaying 16th President of the United States. It's a neat article that gives away a lot of details about the project, but nothing that you wouldn't get having read the book.
With the ninth annual Tribeca Film Festival under way in New York, Robert Levin chimes in with some reviews. First: Robert Duvall and Bill Murray in 'Get Low.'
SXSW Interview: Duvall, Murray, Spacek, and the Filmmakers of 'Get Low'
Features By Landon Palmer on March 20, 2010 | Be the First To CommentJoin Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, director Aaron Schneider, and producer Dean Zanuck for lunch as they discuss Get Low.
It's difficult to find the words to express in reaction to Get Low, mainly because the film doesn't say much in and of itself. This is not to say that the film is either terrible or magnificent; when one watches Get Low it's hard to get the sense that it is good or bad as much as it is simply a non-event.

I traded with someone on this forum in Spring of '05. I was supposed to get a red flowered banana (Musa velutina). Instead, I got a heliconia rhizome. I pointed this out to the person with whom I traded, but they assured me it was a banana, so I let it go. Then she emailed me to tell me it was indeed a heliconia instead of the banana for which I traded. And she assured me that I would get the banana.... No banana yet! Should I be patient a little longer? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not certain exactly what you can do if you are NOT patient...its not like you can go to another state and demand your banana in person, and revealing the person's identity here might get you "chastized" by the powers that be. Spike used to "frown on" that and would not let us have a forum devoted to exposing "bad traders"...but who knows with iVillage? They seem much more lax. A much more effective way is to let all your trusted gardening contacts know about this person and ask them to pass it on. Soon few will answer this person's trade posts, publicly OR privately. This person should be honest enough to send you the plant you were expecting, but don't hold your breath. I hate to say it, but if they can't tell the difference between a heliconia and a banana they shouldn't even be gardening, much less trading. |
I don't actually plan on naming the trader on the forums or privately to anyone either, because I actually think the trade went bad because of the passage of time, not because the trader was a 'bad person'. And if the trader ever reads this post, she is going to remember and make good on the trade. So, I sit and wait. :-) BTW the trade was for M. coccinea not M. velutina. I had forgotten... memory fades, computers crash... |

Cabs and counters are installed. They are a color close to BM white dove on the perimeter with a dark walnut stained island and White Kashmir granite. Walls have been painted (again) BM Revere Pewter. I don't have backsplash yet but pretty much know where I'm headed with that and it's neutral. Because everything I've picked so far is so neutral, I'm feeling like I need a splash of color. I'm leaning toward a mustardy yellow/muted gold, but would love to see others "pop" of color. Also, how did you bring in that color (i.e., accessories, window treatments, bar stools, etc.) Would love to see photos, too!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had a similar issue, I love all the white in my kitchen but want to warm up the system. We are using blue as our pop color. We will have a blue valance for kitchen window and blue and white cushions for our window seat. I think accent rugs are another good way to introduce color. I dont have pictures yet but will post them soon. Good luck. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 13:38
Although I have done colored kitchens, I don't really introduce accent colors in anything "fixed", particularly at the countertop--eyelevel area. I keep this a fairly neutral background for the food and the items that rotate on and off the counter in a working kitchen all the time. So textiles, containers, trays, and things like that may all be pretty colorful in different ways than the primary color of the kitchen, but nothing that is fixed or attached. |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 13:55
My kitchen walls are thyme green...very dark. Since I have a lot of rich cream trim and my cabs I could have chosen almost anything. My DIL and DS1 brought me a beautiful towel from Provence France. I had it matted and framed. It has the same green as my kitchen and then a lovely rich mustard gold that is typical of Provence fabrics. I added a Saffron Le Creuset pot..no longer made and can't even get them on ebay :( and I added a hand made pottery pendant over the island that is from England. So that is my "pop" ...mustard yellow. c |
My kitchen is going to be all cream and my pop of color will be my range, a burgundy CornuFe. I am also adding touches of black with a stenciled wood floor and fabric for a skirt under the farm sink. I have been having to reign myself in while choosing materials and paint, so the palette will stay quiet and the range can take center stage. |
- Posted by lovetodream (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 14:04
My pop of color is leaning towards turquoise....although I'm considering other colors as well. I am painting Revere Pewter on the walls after trying 43 different shades of yellow - I just couldn't find the right one that was right for us. I do have a lot of red things left over and I have a flowered throw rug that has the aqua, red, yellow and kelly green - I hope to bring them all out a little but maybe sticking with one is a more professional way to go? |
- Posted by fouramblues (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 14:36
My entire kitchen looks very warm, color-temp-wise, now that everything's in (in spite of the very cool "ivory" cabs), so I wanted a cool pop color. I fell in love with a fabric, out of which I made Roman shades, and which has a very grey turquoise in it. So I chose to emphasize that color, using turquoise for pops. Fabric is a great way to pull color into a room! (The splash is way more grey IRL.) |
We are doing the popular "cool" color scheme: white shaker, white backsplash, whitish granite, with probably a greyish/blueish wall color... so our island will be navy, and the schoolhouse pendants over it will probably have a navy stripe. And we are leaning towards warm hardware such as brushed brass / antique brass / unlacquered brass (not 80's cheesy shiny brass). Everything just seems too "cool" without adding something warm like the brass. Also the breakfast room adjacent thru the peninsula will have an acorn colored wood pendant for warmth. Other ideas: we might be able to add warmth with the island counterstool materials and/or cushions... and a wooden farmhouse table in the breakfast room; might bring in some interesting warmer colors via valance over the sink and window treatments in the breakfast room. But not that far yet! It will be a while before we have pics but I'd be interested to see other people's ideas/pics, since I have the same "too cool" concern. |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 14:55
fouramblues, I love your turquoise accents! That might work well since my adjacent family room is BM Beach Glass, a blue with a greenish undertone. Now I am wondering if I can do turquoise AND yellow (sparingly). mama_goose: Love it! How fun! |
Our palette is very cool grey and white, with some green undertones. Thus we are using green to liven things up. Window treatments, pillows on the benches, stools chairs, rugs and some glassware and decor. I will need to reign things in, I think, in order to keep things in balance. |
Like Palimpsest and Mama Goose (love the shirred curtains!) strictly what accessories appeal at the moment, StacyH, including curtains. At the moment it's mostly turquoise, lime green and a little orange against the warm creamy background. It had been too briefly mostly lavender, purple and cerise lilacs and iris to go with the new spring leaves outside--until I bought a turquoise Dutch oven at a close-out. As the summer heats up, it'll probably quiet way down; last year it was a lot of fresh white with a little brown. Next holiday months it'll be reds, golds and greens again. There's always a bowl of produce ripening. I enjoy having fun with this. |
My cabs are white, my granite and backsplash are neutral. My color inspiration came from the red knobs on my Wolf range. I bought a few red plates/vases/etc...and placed them in various areas including my glass cabinets. I was worried that red would be overpowering, but using just a few pieces gives a very subtle look. I decorate for every holiday and looking forward to the 4th of July by adding a little blue to the kitchen. |
Turquoise: |
I'm not one to do "pops". My walls are chartreuse and I am thinking about painting my scullery purple. And I might, just might, then stencil chartreuse paisleys on the purple wall. |
- Posted by motherof3sons (My Page) on Tue, May 7, 13 at 23:41
This is a great thread! I have been looking at my living space (kit/dr/lr) and thinking it needs an accent color. You all have beautiful spaces and I love looking at pictures. |
We had too much white in the kitchen, hence the bold backsplash. I've found orange works well as an accent color. I usually have lots of fruit on the island (good color). I like the monochromatic back drop. |

I had to find this thread again, when I saw this kitchen on houzz: |
Here is a link that might be useful: colorful kitchen, more pics
Blood red kettle and stools. ;-) |
four--what was your fabric?--very pretty. Our almost done kitchen has off white cabs, a grey counter and light blue glass tiles.Roman shade is a neutral linen. I have blue, turquoise and green pottery as planned accents. I also think any pop of color like pink, orange or yellow flowers will go. It's a pretty neutral palette but I love the neutral tones. Oh and a driftwood platter with turquoise and green sea glass. We'll see--I'll be able to rotate colors with moods I think! |
Blood red kettle and stools. ;-) Thank God for the word "kettle" in there. I didn't see it at first read! |
Angie, I know. |
Love the ideas!! I picked up some yellow and turquoise accessories at Home Goods to try for a few days :) I'll post some pics once all the trim is painted tomorrow. |

The current GLSA mechanism already provides both of these. There are the email notifications, and there is an xml file that provides the masking information (which the glsa-checker tool and some package managers use). From what I've seen (from a distance), the problem seems to be that both of these are created using a software tool which is apparently very cumbersome to use. However, both are just text files. Part of me wonders if a workflow like this would help solve the problem: 1. Some contributor posts a GLSA email and xml file to a security bug. This could be anybody. The content would be trimmed down a bit - perhaps just a CVE reference, and then the information on vulnerable and non-vulnerable versions. 2. Somebody on staff with commit access to the xml tree and the mailing list would review and send out the advisory, and mark this as done in the bug. I also wonder if there would be in value in sending out the notice after the fixed version is in the tree but before it is stable. Right now advisories wait until the last security-supported arch stabilizes the package. I would think that earlier notice would be useful - even if sysadmins want to wait for a package to become stable they'll know something is coming, and the delay on the major arches tends to be hours to days. Plus, if somebody can't wait they can test/install on their own, and perhaps even post feedback on the bug. Obviously notices would have to wait until after any blackout period ends. Note that I'm basically advocating ditching the tool. A tool is good when it improves productivity. However, right now it appears that the tool is keeping people from contributing who want to contribute. Certainly things couldn't get worse without the tool. If a user just edits an xml template and email template and posts it on the bug, then very little work should be required to review the files before posting them. Contributors wouldn't need any special access either - freeing up devs to provide more of a QA role. Ditching the tool would also simplify fixes to GLSAs. I haven't run it in a while, but took glsa-checker out of my cron ages ago when it would just report packages with vulnerabilities that had none. I did log bugs, but apparently adding one line to the xml files requires as much pain as sending out the original notice. Bottom line, however, is I don't think that we can't consider ourselves as a serious distro if we don't provide timely security advisories. All that said, I would say that from what I've seen in bugzilla, if you're on x86 or amd64 and running an updated stable tree, you shouldn't have longstanding security vulnerabilities. A new security bug pops up almost weekly, and packages are updated fairly quickly on those arches. The problem is just that we never tell anybody that we're doing it. Rich

Don't Call me Crazy: BBC3 show us around Manchester's McGuinness Unit in another superior documentary focusing on the mental health of teenagers
Despite their reputation for low-rent programming, I find that BBC3 actually lead the way when it comes to documentaries dealing with the struggle of today's youth. The recent Growing up Poor is a prime example, as it told the story of today's impoverished teenagers from their own point-of-view. Don't Call me Crazy follows a similar pattern as we hear from several of the youngsters who are patients at Manchester's McGuinness Unit. The unit takes in patients who have a number of issues from eating disorders to OCD, while some are in the unit because they have been sectioned by the Mental Health Act.
One of the three subjects we meet in this first episode is Bethany, a new patient who is suffering from a serious eating disorder. Though Beth seems to be having fun with her fellow patients a tour round her room reveals a very different story. As Beth shows us the photos on her wall, she tells us that all she sees is the fat on her arms. The staff at the unit attempt to get Beth to focus on what she will be able to achieve once she leaves the unit, including resuming her gymnastics training. The programme shows support worker Matt accompanying Beth to her old dancehall in order for her to remember what her old life was like. But it seems that the staff's attempts to get Beth to focus on getting better aren't doing any good. Instead, Beth refuses to come down to the dining room and starts a diary documenting the fact that she isn't eating. As the staff continue to get agitated about Beth's calorie intake they put her on the rainbow programme, which involves a member of staff sitting with her while she eats her meal. Beth is visibly distressed by this news as the thought of putting any more weight on frightens her drastically. To burn off any calories she does consume, Beth starts frantically walking up and down the unit's corridors. In one of the most harrowing scenes of the film, Matt attempts to get Beth to drink a calorie shake with it taking over twenty minutes for Beth to take just one sip of the liquid. Eventually the staff at the unit have no choice but to section Beth under the Mental Health Act.
The documentary also introduces us to 15 year old Emma, who has been in the McGuinness Unit for two weeks. Emma suffers from OCD, a condition she feels that a lot of people don't understand. Emma tells us about hearing a voice who tells her to do something or something bad will happen. Emma is presented as a reserved young lady who doesn't join in during the group therapy sessions and is worried about going outside. Her OCD later flares up following a search of her room, as the staff members carrying out the search disturb the organised state of her possessions. I personally felt that the staff weren't as sensitive as they should've been when going through Emma's things, telling her that they had to do conduct the search. After they'd left, Emma noted that they hadn't put her CDs back in the right order and, because of this, she felt something horrible would happen to her mum. Emma's lowest moment came when she was found with shoelaces tied around her neck and therefore wasn't granted the school leave she requested. Thankfully, Emma's condition began to improve during her stay in the unit and ultimately she was released. Emma's story shows that some youngsters can benefit greatly from the unit and can be released feeling a lot better about themselves.
Unfortunately this isn't always the case as we see through the story of Gill. 16 year old Gill has tried to commit suicide several times and assaulted fourteen staff members since she has been at the unit. Towards the beginning of the programme we see Gill being released, but she is soon back after taking another large overdose. Gill tells us about not seeing a way for her to live her life and she felt she would be better off dead. Despite Gill spending a lot of her time on the unit's acute corridor, she is occasionally able to socialise with the other girls on the ward. But this leads to Gill and another girl escaping the unit which in turn means that the team now have to hunt down two lost patients. While the other girl is found after a few hours, Gill is missing for a long time until the team hear she has been taken into hospital once again. To me, Gill represents the vicious cycle of mental illness as her disorder prevents her from truly living her life.
The mood of Don't Call me Crazy is perfectly summed up by Support Worker Claire who tells us that 'going through adolescence is hard enough without a few extra problems on top.' Indeed this programme gives us a real look at what life is like for girls such as Emma, Beth and Gill all of whom need help in some way. The programme is incredibly shot, with cameras closing in on the frantic arms of several patients, as they worry about their next meal or how their CDs are arranged. I also feel that the programme never tries to sensationalise mental illness, but instead tries to get young people to understand what suffering from these disorders is really like. Some of the scenes, especially those involving Beth's problems with her food, are a hard watch, but at the same time are there to illustrate the burdens of living with mental illness. Thankfully, the programme isn't all doom and gloom as plenty of humour is provided by the larger-than-life staff members. My favourite staff member was probably Staff Nurse Pete Burns, who employed a fairly light attitude to all the heavy situations that were presented to him. I also enjoyed the fact that the directors tried to get as many scenes of the girls laughing as they could as this perfectly counterbalanced the programme's more harrowing moments.
Overall Don't Call me Crazy is another must-watch documentary from BBC3 which shows the realities of young people dealing with mental illness. Emma, Beth and Gill were all seemingly normal girls but the programme slowly made you realise how their illness had made them think less of themselves. I felt that the documentary presented the perfect balance of light and shade, while at the same time never shying away from the serious subject matter at hand. By the end of the programme I was really rooting for all three girls to get better, and to me that's a sign that I've really connected with a documentary series.
Did you enjoy Don't Call me Crazy? Do you think it's another triumph for BBC3? Leave Your Comments Below.

"Don't Call Me Crazy" What amazing work the Mcguiness unit do. It certainly is not an easy job, but it shows how important the support they provide is. My heart breaks to watch young people suffering,due to serious mental health issues. Sadly this is the reality within our society, that so many of our youths are facing. I myself have Bipolar, its taken me 10yrs to be open about my mental health. I know only to well the stigma attached to mental health. I believe programs like this raise much needed awareness which will help to reduce stigma. Well done to BBC3
I am very proud of my colleagues at the mcguiness unit or j17 as they have now moved into the unit. They have done GMW proud well done.
Well done too bbc three for highlighting these issues, more people need to understand mental illness and the fact that it is an illness rather than an act, I myself ended up in a Manchester mental health unit under section after several suicide attempts later diagnosed with OCD and PTSD it was difficult enough for me to address my illness, and of course was in denial so my heart does go out to these teenagers.
Saw the problem on BBC iPlayer and thought I might see what it was about. Found it interesting throughout to see how these teenagers live and cope with their conditions. I think it was Emma who said that people think that these conditions are result of a bad home while actually it is any home. I hope they all make a full recovery in J17. Good luck everyone and well done to the workers of J17.
* programme not problem. Apologies.
I was an inpatient at the mcguiness unit 16 years ago, the staff were helpfull but i think being there didnt help and made me worse, i was 14 at the time and went on to have alot of complex problems after leaving the unit, i am 30 now and coping a little better but it wasnt down to the help of the mcguiness unit.
Hi Stephine, I hope you don't mind, but I just really wanted to say, how very brave I think you are. Its never easy talking about a mental health, let only a actual experience of being within a unit like this. I can honestly say that 16yrs ago at the tender age of 14 you must have been terrifed, I know I would have been. I would hope that you can see there has been change in the world of mental health, but not enough. I am sure that you have a great deal of experiece with regard to what young people go through, have you ever thought of getting involved with these young people, showing them that you not only surived you went on to make a life for yourself and how you cope you could teach this to other. Im wishing you good health.
This is brilliant and really gives insight for other people as to how it really is. Would love to work here as a newly graduated psychology student!! Really great programme
