The Aftermath of Watching The 50 Best Movies of All Time
Features By FSR Staff on May 8, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhat's the best movie ever made? Would the person sitting next to you agree? Does the title really matter, or is the search a happy distraction meant to let the cream of the crop rise to the top? What happens when you watch a bunch of that cream? And why has "cream" become a metaphor for quality? The Sight & Sound Top 50 is a great place to start with all of those questions. For almost two years, Landon Palmer and Scott Beggs have been watching the best movies of all time and discussing them with the aim of discovering and re-discovering important cinematic experiences. Now that their quest is over, here are their thoughts and conclusions on what it's like to see that many treasured movies, followed with links to all 50 conversations for your perusal. Take a deep breath, grab a bowl of cream and dive in.
'City Lights': A Silent Movie Still Entertaining in the Era of Sound
Features By FSR Staff on April 30, 2014 | Be the First To CommentLooking for any excuse, Landon Palmer and Scott Beggs are using the 2012 Sight & Sound poll results as a reason to take different angles on the best movies of all time. Every week, they'll discuss another entry in the list, dissecting old favorites from odd angles, discovering movies they haven't seen before and asking you to join in on the conversation. Of course it helps if you've seen the movie because there will be plenty of spoilers. This week, they revel in the unadulterated delight of City Lights and imagine it as an elderly film that still feels young at heart. In the #50 (tied) movie on the list, The Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) falls in love with a blind flower girl (Virginia Cherrill) and tries everything he can to earn money, even as life throws him repeatedly under the bus. But why is it one of the best movies of all time?
13 Important Lessons This Year's Movies Can Learn From the Criterion Collection
Best of 2013 By Landon Palmer on December 22, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe Criterion Collection is an ever-expanding accumulation of canonical works of cinema. Yet Criterion's selections don't only represent deliberate attempts to construct a pristine archive from cinema's past, but also force a conversation with cinema's present. These releases (and the cult of anticipation that develops around them) produces a distinctive contrast between the best of cinema history against the spoils of the current moment. And while 2013 did introduce us to some very good films (three of which made it into the Collection), the best selections of cinema's past always have a lot of instructive lessons to offer the smorgasbord of cinema's present. So here are some useful pieces of advice that we think current filmmaking should take from this year's crop of Criterion releases.
'Prince Avalanche,' 'The Attack,' and 'Grabbers' Star In the Best Blu-ray & DVD Releases of the Week!
Features By Rob Hunter on November 12, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. I Declare War A group of pre-teen boys (and one girl), some friends and some not, gather for a game of war in the back woods. Using sticks, a simple set of rules, and their endless imagination, the battle grows to include M-16s, grenades, bazookas, and more, but while all of those are allowed things soon take a dark turn. Jealousy and insecurity fuel one boy's rage to the point where the war stops being a game. This Canadian import starts off like the perfect encapsulation of a day in the life of a twelve year old boy with its mix of physical activity and imagination-fueled violence. It becomes something more though as one of the boys begins to crack, and some of the kids enter a Lord of the Flies-like scenario built on fear and peer pressure. It's a bit rough around the edges at times, particularly with some of the child actors, but it never lets go of its sense of fun. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Commentaries, featurettes, trailer]
6 Filmmaking Tips from Charlie Chaplin
Features By Scott Beggs on April 17, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe 124th anniversary of Charlie Chaplin's birthday was yesterday, and the date represents both the birth of a man and the birth of a cultural icon. Perhaps the biggest of them all. Chaplin made a name for himself during the early years of cinema where silent films had a natural global appeal and became a worldwide name as an actor, producer, writer and director. He took comedy seriously, building upon silly slapstick with The Tramp and taking on Hitler with The Great Dictator. It's more than likely that the world will never see anyone rise to his kind of prominence. So here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin.
Import This! Charlie Chaplin's The Circus & City Lights (Blu-ray/DVD)
Features By Rob Hunter on November 29, 2010 | Be the First To CommentGreat movies come from all around the world, and so do great DVDs and Blu-rays. Import This! is an irregular feature here at FSR that highlights discs and/or movies unavailable in the US that are worth seeking out for fans of fantastic cinema. 2010 has been a good year for the Little Tramp when it comes to the area of technological breakthroughs. First, Charlie Chaplin's antics are finally coming to the superior Blu-ray format… and second, time travel has finally been proven thanks to the recent discovery of a futuristic visitor in his film The Circus. Chaplin has long thrilled and entertained viewers on television and DVD, but this year saw his films start hitting Blu-ray in a big way. Criterion released Modern Times earlier this month, and film lovers in the UK have had it even better with Park Circus releasing that film as well as The Kid, The Great Dictator, and The Gold Rush earlier this year. Park Circus isn't done yet though as they've just released two more titles in dual disc format featuring the Blu-ray and DVD.

No Simple Highway
Over on the SIR list, one of this year's new riders wrote:
"Alright, the rookie has another question. This one might seem a little ridiculous but how do I get faster? In my "training plan" I am suppossed to ride brisk on Wednesdays."
(She actually wrote more than this, but I edited for space. If you are interested, the full post is here.)
This is my reply:
OK this is the second time you've asked about getting faster and at least the second time you've expressed anxiety about sticking to your training plan. My question to you is this: Was your training plan handed to you on stone tablets or did a voice from a burning bush set forth exactly how much thou shall and shall not ride?
Only you can really know if you are training or slacking. I know people who have ridden a full series where their longest non-brevet ride has been 30 miles. I know a guy who rode PBP while sick as a dog, subsisting on soda crackers and flat Sprite. I also know many folks who've quit brevets and many others who've stuck it out.
Most DNFs come not from a lack of speed but a lack of conviction. If you think you're not prepared, the odds are much greater that doubt will overwhelm you. Nobody KNOWS they can ride a given brevet on a given day. We think we can. We ride the brevets to find out if we are right.
My advice is this: Think less about training and more about preparation. Miles don't count as much as knowing what your body does on those miles. A perfectly tuned racecar doesn't go anywhere without gas in the engine and air in the tires. Do you know how to fuel your engine? Do you know how to fix flats? Do you know how your bike handles in the rain? Do you know what it's like to ride at night? Most importantly do you have a flexible mind, can you deal with that which you didn't anticipate?
I can tell you this: your brevets will probably not go as planned. They might, but that's not the way to bet. Be ready to make new plans and execute those.
You seem to be freaking out that your training isn't meeting some plan. Get past that freak out. Adapt. Make new plans. That's what you'll need to do on the road anyway.
A disproportionate number of randonneurs are fans of the Grateful Dead. I have no idea why that is but I think I'm right about this. I also think Robert Hunter was right when he wrote:
"There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone."
"If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home."

Good advice Kent. We may be asking for some free stuff when we reach Miami on 15 March and collect our new Bike Friday tandem. Cheers,

Yep another Grateful Dead fan among the rando crowd. I often compare rando rides to the quote from the Dead Song - Box of Rain.
Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
That's how I feel on Rando events - hey thats a cool place I want to go back there again. So maybe a weekend jaunt to see the place again is in order. - 11:29 AM

another Dead fan here in the brevet riders!
- Cellarrat said...
Could it be that most lond distance riders seem to be a bit older mabe thats why they are into the Dead? Planning on getting into the Rando thing next year...Sometime when I ride I get into this dreamy state of mind and I really like u-2's song In God's Country, Just seems to fit.
Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me
Sleep comes like a drug
In God's Country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's Country
Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
To see what's on the other side
She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug
In God's Country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's Country
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love - 8:57 AM
I agree that so much of finishing a
ride is mental. One thing that
isn't clear from the questioner
is what is her goal? Not only
does she have to get past the freak
out stage, she has to get past the
concept of one finishing time is
good and another is bad. Does she
just want to finish, or does she
need to have a sub X:00 time?
On my last brevet there was a club
member riding that is usually
faster than I am. She didn't have
the best day that day, because she
had flatted twice before the 10 mile
mark, then later in the day missed
the control and found herself 10 miles down the road before she
realized something was amiss. Her
overall time was longer than mine was but with all that I still think
her time was 'better' than mine in
the most meaningful way. She dealt
with the stuff that came up on the
ride, and didn't quit and today
doesn't feel bad about the overall
time listed on the results page.
As for commenting on specific training, I can relate my own
experiences. I now have a commute
that is 35 miles total each day.
Earlier though it was about 11 miles
a day, and that was about the time
I began to ride double centuries.
I can't follow any prescribed
training plan, even to this day,
because I have a 40hour a week job
and on weekends the need for a certain amount of 'face' time at
home. So I fit things in when I can,
like racking up even the flat
miles that commuting gives me.
I realize that to ride with the speedy guys I'll have to do something different, but I'll content myself with going the distance, and not doing a 'time'.

Hi Kent,
I'd like your permission to translate parts of this post and the other one about brevets into Portuguese. I plan to post them on my blog and in the local cycling group (PoABikers). I think that they will be appreciated by the Audax crowd here in Brazil.

I think I will post in here. I'll just copy my posts from LJ and get 2 perspectives on said entry for the day. Lately when I post stuff about school,it rarely gets comments and same goes for my shows. I have readers but would like comments so I know they're still interested,you know? I'm really into football and liked most of the Playoff games last week(except for the Steelers lost) and I hope the Chargers win this week against Indy:).
I start school next week Mon. and M/W,I have 3-D design from 9-12 and then an hour break and then kickboxing:). T/T, I have History of Native Americans w/ my Ethnic Studies teacher(from last sem.,I got A's and B's on Exams/Essays and got a B overall) from 9-10:20 and then Math 20 from 12-1:50,which I am retaking cuz I suck at algebra! I am going to be hanging out A LOT at the Tutoring Center instead of the ML(but will meet my req. for class) and hopefully,I'll do as well as when I had to retake Math 15 cuz the 1st time,the teacher went by way too fast and wouldn't help us(literally! You ask a ? and she'd say to go the ML and work on it cuz she had to cover 2 sections/day and couldn't be backed up by us ansking ?'s and having trouble). The 2nd time, I got a D- on the 1st test,but then the other 3 I got C's and an A on the Final(and a C overall). Mainly cuz the teacher went by slowly and taught it so I could 'get it' and we also got 'cheat sheets' w/ formulas/theroems and could use our calculators after the 1st Exam.
Any way to change the time stamp on here? I'm not into military time. I'm posting this at 2:34 Pm ,but it says like AM and shit.

Pennie F from Nampa, Id recommends this vacation rental
We had a girls weekend. The house was fantastic, enough beds for everyone. The place was perfect in everyday, Only one small thing I would change, or at least let the renters know about so that they can bring the items. The kitchen had not towels or dishcloths. We got by but it would of been nice to have some. Not a very big thing considering the rest of the place was perfect.

Comfortable, clean, roomy and close to town. Beds were comfortable, fireplace was nice and kitchen well stocked. Would have preferred the tv in the living area near the kitchen just so we could cook and watch the game but not a deal breaker.

The property managmt com folks were pretty bland. Didn't seem very friendly. We had to fix the handle of the door leading into the garage because we were unable to turn the handle. The blinds should be dusted too. Otherwise we had a great time. The house was awesome and the family really enjoyed everything about McCall.

Ben H from Twin Falls, Idaho recommends this vacation rental
We really liked the house the downstairs sitting area was very comfy, the upstairs area was comfy as well, the only thing we did not like about this house was the king size bed, you can't sleep on it because the mattress is so stiff and uncomfortable, that was a bummer, the only other thing were the light bulbs really hurt the eyes, they put in those energy saving bulbs that are to bright for sitting areas. Besides those to things the house was really a great vocation getaway place to stay. Having access to the ranch house with the hot tub was a bonus. Just wish more of these places would offer wireless Internet at the house

a guest from Burley, ID recommends this vacation rental
Spent a few days in the house between Christmas and New Years, 2011. House had a large open area on main floor which is great for group gatherings, game playing, visiting, etc. Upstairs is configured a little oddly - after climbing one flight of stairs you come to a landing, and then you go up another flight of stairs to one set of bedrooms or a different flight to a second set of bedrooms and full bath. TV is located in common area (loft) of second floor, again a little odd. Only 1 bathroom on second floor for four bedrooms - would have been nice to have one more. We had 8 people and used all five bedrooms, although there is room for several more if you use all beds. Only one bedroom on main floor, so beware if you have folks that have access issues. House could use more floor and table lighting. Overall, everyone was happy with the house and its condition- we cooked 4 meals in the kitchen and since it opens into the common area, everyone was able to visit while prepping meals. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils, skillets, etc. It is about a 5 minute drive to downtown McCall. Quiet and secluded neighborhood.

From under the gun, Tony Moreno raised to 525. His raise was called by the player in the next seat, Peter Rho in the hijack seat, the small blind and the big blind.
Peter Rho has just been knocked out of the main event. Holding on a flop, there was never any doubt that Rho's money was getting in the middle, and that's exactly what happened.
Jai Kemp is up to 26,400 in chips after a recent confrontation with Peter Rho. Action folded around to Rho in the small blind who opened with a 1,700 raise. Kemp made the call from the small blind and the two saw a flop.
Peter Rho has just managed to double up to 9,500 in chips, courtesy of Team Full Tilt Pro John(son) Juanda. Juanda opened the pot with a raise to 950 and when the action reached Rho, he moved all in for a total of 4,425.
Runner Up in the 2009 Aussie Millions Main Event, Peter Rho picked his spots over 5 days to finish 2nd. Though not the title Rho is thrilled with the $1,000,000 AUD runner up prize.

NAGPUR: Ace city paddler Mallika Bhandarkar is on the verge of creating history when she will take part in the 18th Asian Junior Table Tennis Championship at Jiangyin, China from July 11 to 16.
Having been selected as a member of the Indian contingent, Mallika will probably be the first paddler to do so for the country for the fifth successive time. The four-member Indian team for the prestigious tournament on the ITTF Junior Circuit - a prelude to the World Juniors - left for China late Sunday night.
Before the Asian tourney begins, the four-member Indian team, both in the boys and girls' section, will undergo a preparatory camp at the training centre in Zhengding, China, from July 2-10.
As compared to the U-18 boys' squad, the Indian girls team that finished fifth in 2011 - which eventually gave Mallika a berth in the world juniors - is relatively more experienced with two of its paddlers Mallika and Delhi's Manika Batra featuring in the top 100 rankings in the world. Tamil Nadu-based Reeth Rishya and Narsimha Priya are the other members of the team.
Members of the boys' team include Abhishek Yadav, Sudhanshu Grover, Vivek Bhargav and Shubankar Renwarikar while Delhi's Sandeeep Gupta has been named as coach.
Aiming for a podium finish, the Indian girls have been seeded fifth. "As compared to the previous Asian tourney, we are a bit stronger side this time. We are not aware about our rivals so that would be the challenge. We aim to bring home a medal this time," Mallika told TOI from New Delhi minutes before boarding the flight to China.
She added, "With India (Hyderabad) being the host for the World Juniors, we are aware that we would get a direct entry into the championship, still we all wish to do well in the Asian meet and want to better our previous record of fifth place finish."
Earlier, Mallika represented the country in the Asian juniors in both the U-15 and U-18 categories in the championships held at Korea, Jaipur, Bangkok and New Delhi.
With mere 10 days remaining for the Asian juniors, Mallika's proud parents Shreerang and Anjali Bhandarkar would be eagerly waiting for their 17-year-old to register her name in the record books with fifth consecutive appearance for India.

Field Report: Rode Reporter
Radio news reporting is fast-paced. Upon arrival at the scene of the interview, news gatherers generally have no clue as to what auditory challenges he or she will face. In addition, reporters certainly have no time to choose a microphone, nor do they want to carry several of them. Rode Microphones has spent more than 20 years at the drawing board considering the specific audio needs of the media world. As a result, the aptly named Rode "Reporter" is a handheld microphone created for news gathering on the go.
Out of the box, the first noticeable feature of Reporter is its 10.7" length. Designed with a one-on-one interview in mind the extended length keeps waving the mic to and fro to a minimum. It also allows for some comfortable distance between the interviewer and interviewee. The Reporter has a dynamic omnidirectional element; a feature that bolsters performance in several ways. The polar pattern is perfectly omnidirectional at all frequencies. Essentially, both the interviewer and his subject can stand centered anywhere around the Reporter without concern for off-axis coloration or other annoying proximity differences. The dynamic element is less sensitive to ambient noise and very tolerant of wind noise and plosives. However, it is important to note that Reporter need not be held at close proximity to a speaker's mouth unless necessary. Reporter has plenty of output. While any vocal placement is acceptable, when Reporter is held at chest level, optimal performance is obtained. Problematic environmental noises and wind are reduced due to frequency response and an internal plosives screen design. Reporter's internal shock mounted capsule and die cast aluminum body help keep handling noise at a minimum while protecting the element inside from the bangs and bumps of field reporting.
Performance at a glance | ||
■ Rugged matte finish aluminum body
■ Internal wind and plosives screen ■ 10.7" handle ■ Optimized frequency response for speech ■ Dynamic element, omnidirectional pattern |
The mic's frequency response is tailor-made for optimized speech intelligibility. 20Hz to 30Hz is rolled off significantly (-14dB) with a gradual slope and 0dB leveling at a little more than 100Hz. This design is brilliant for several reasons: Plosive reduction, wind noise reduction and a minimalizing of unnecessary low frequencies that all-to-often "muddy up" field audio. Speech clarity is key, which is why a slight 2dB notch at 1.5kHz helps accentuate vocals. Then from 4-15 kHz a 4dB slope with a moderate Q provides a touch of brightness and clarity to the response curve with a smooth roll-off afterward to prevent too much sibilance.
The polar response is effectively a perfect circle at 500, 1,000 and 4,000 hertz. This characteristic makes it a consummate omnidirectional microphone and perfect in situations where the interviewer has folks from all directions providing commentary. As previously mentioned off-axis coloration goes unnoticed.
Practical use
I took the mic on an interview with a college music professor. Environmentally speaking, the location was ok. A moderately reflective room, a big-voiced professor, students chatting outside the door, HVAC noise and instruments in adjacent rooms embodied the location. At the start of the interview, I noticed right away that the professor and I did not need to be miked closely. Again, at chest level and evenly spaced between us, the mic performed smoothly. I didn't need to wave the mic back and forth. The resulting audio was a natural, clear sound of the two voices. No booming low frequencies and no unwanted ambient sound was recorded. Reporter produced a natural-sounding audio. Vocal characteristics were punchy and clear.
The Reporter ships with a black double-sided flag that can be screen-printed with an organization's logo. The flag is a flat surface that is clipped above the capsule and of is course, removable. The mic has a black, matte finish and has an XLR jack. It also comes with a leather pouch.

In a world where audio is most often needed immediately, having tools that are ready "now" is key. No time can be spent on looking for the right microphone. With the Rode Reporter in a news-gathering arsenal, clear and professional audio is a guaranteed result.

March 28th Weekly Update!
Date: Thu, Mar. 29, 2007
First of all, a reminder that Thursday evening will bring a wonderful opportunity to hear the perspective of the FBI on the violent crime situation in New Orleans. Chip Hardgrave, the FBI�s Violent Crime Supervisor here in town, will address SilenceIsViolence and other grassroots organizations and will offer his guidance regarding community involvement. We had been hoping to hear from Jim Bernazzani, the regional director of the FBI, as well, but Mr. Bernazzani has been called out of town. The evening should be extremely interesting nonetheless! Here are the details:Thursday, March 29
Audubon Tea Room (Magazine Street at Audubon Park) City Walks:
We held our first City Walk this past Sunday, walking from the Marigny to the Seventh Ward. It was truly invigorating to bridge these two neighborhoods on foot and to bring our two communities together at Seal�s Class Act in the Seventh Ward. This Sunday we will start back at Seal�s and walk into Mid-City. If you are a resident of the Seventh Ward or Mid-City, please join us, whether along the route or for the reception at Parkway, where the Rebirth Brass Band will perform. Here is the complete route:
START: 7pm, Seal�s Class Act (2169 Aubry St., at the intersection of N.Miro and St. Bernard). Cros St. Bernard on N. Miro; follow N. Miro to Esplanade Ave. Turn RIGHT on Esplanade and LEFT onto Broad St. Continue on Broad to Dumaine St.; turn RIGHT and follow Dumaine to Bayou St. John. Turn LEFT at the Bayou and LEFT onto Toulouse St. STOP: Parkway Tavern (**); reception with the Rebirth Brass Band. Transportation will be provided back to Seal�s between 8 and 9pm.
It is remarkable how strong the impulse is to reclaim the streets of our city. Mayor Nagin, for instance, has begun a series of crime walks in different portions of the city on alternating Fridays. And as we began our City Walks this past week, Pastors Raphael (New Hope Baptist Church) and Gabriel (Progressive Baptist Church) were starting their own series of walks through Central City. The walks are taking place every evening through late April. They begin at 5pm at New Hope (1809 LaSalle St.) and move through different parts of the neighborhood each day, ending with a prayer circle at the intersection of Felicity and South Robertson at 6pm. Please go out and support Pastor Raphael�s walks one of these evenings if you can�and whatever neighborhood you are in, re-assert your right to sit on your stoop, stand on the sidewalks, and walk through the streets of our city.
Police Interaction Logs:One of our ongoing initiatives is the documentation and transmittal of the interactions citizens are having with police around our city. We collect your experiences and submit them on a weekly basis to the NOPD Superintendant and appropriate dsitrict captains. These police interaction logs are important for the immediate feedback they provide to the NOPD, as well as for the documentation they are creating: We are tracking not only individual experiences, but also trends, and are establishing a documentary basis for a broad and productive dialogue with law enforcement that incorporates citizen input. What is more, NOPD leadership has been quite responsive to these logs so far.
With all of these motivations in mind, we are looking to expand the police interaction log program. Right now, we collect these logs at Sound Cafe in the Marigny and over our website. Over the next two weeks, we will begin distributing and collecting logs at additional locations around the city. If you own or frequent an establishment that you think would be a useful site for citizen responses regarding the police, please let us know and we will try to include that location in our distribution. And please use our website to report any interactions you have with the police, whether positive or negative: www.silenceisviolence.org.
Also on the subject of police-citizen interaction, we will host a Fifth District police meet-and-greet event next Thursday, April 5 at Sound Cafe. Please come by between 5 and 7pm to meet our platoon leaders and officers. Music and some light refreshments will be provided. We will hold these events from time to time, always at different times of day so all schedules can be accommodated.
We hope to see many of you tomorrow evening for our forum on violentcrime with the FBI� Peace,
Ken, Helen, and Baty

Directed Readings in Linguistics/the Structure of Language A
- Course Code:
- Unit value:
- 0.5
- Taught in:
- Term 1
Objectives and learning outcomes of the course
The objective of this course is to provide the student with the opportunity to carry out study and research on a specific area of interest in greater depth and breadth than more traditional lecture-based courses permit. The student will thereby gain both an insight into research methodology and a deeper understanding of linguistics perspectives in particular in relation to the chosen topic.
Directed readings courses run for a total of one term with 3-6 hours tutorial per term. The student is expected to spend 2 hours per week on project work.Scope and syllabus
This course is a one-term seminar on a specialised topic or language on which SOAS has staff with the required expertise, but for which there is no regular course. The format of the course will to some extent vary in individual cases, but should consist of regular one-to-one tutorials between student and instructor. A reading list and project outline is agreed and progress is discussed.

Miskatonic/Agency investigator deck
Posted 21 March 2013 - 09:22 AM
Posted 22 March 2013 - 04:56 AM
It may help to know which sets/packs you have. A good investigator deck is always fun to play, even thematically, especially if you like the "good guy / bad guy" set up in your games for theme.
I think you might want to consider upping your character count overall because you want to be putting out at least 1 to 2 characters per turn to make up for attrition from insanity and combat. I'd caution against putting in too many "control" effects (like Short Fuse, Blast, Small Price, Parchment) when you really want to out-rush your opponent. Each control card is a domain not used to play a character, and makes it easier to be controlled by your opponent by wounding/destruction/sacrifice effects. To that end, I like your idea of using Jamie Winthrop for icon-control to manage winning struggles, but I wonder if he's not that efficient since you really need to have draw effects during story phase to make use of him, and those are cards that you can't play during operations. For example, I would rather use Forbidden Knowledge on an insane character to sac him during operations in hopes of getting more characters to play.
Have you considered Mu and Ipiutak for more resilience? What about Voros Hal'l Jon to search out the Advisor if you don't get it early? What about Binding for more efficient icon-control?
Posted 22 March 2013 - 06:55 AM
Posted 22 March 2013 - 09:17 AM
Obscure Linguist is a great card that does the same thing as Winthrop without the extra work, and it fits into your investigator theme. Also, even if you don't want to put in all the strong cards from Seekers, you should consider Whitton Greene to get Forbidden Knowledge and Scientific Text, that way you can get the draw effects for Winthrop.
Posted 22 March 2013 - 09:46 AM
Posted 22 March 2013 - 02:06 PM
Ali Kafour is 4 cost, so I thought you were considering those. Obscure Linguist really is good to troubleshoot problematic characters. There aren't that many that I would consider otherwise, maybe Peaslee.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

some thoughts on diary..
We have to remember upfront who the audience was for this speech. This
was time for 6pm Cairo time. Like the previous Cairo speech, this was
about US image in the Islamic world... trying to show US isn't a big
hypocrite and believes in the masses in the streets, the will of the
people, not just about propping up corrupt despots, etc.
OK, that's all fine and good. But what's the actual effect of the
I would argue very little effect for the intended audience. A lot of
people in the region are not particularly enthused by another pretty
Obama speech. This doesn't all of a sudden make the US the reliable and
popular friend in the region.
What it will do is piss a lot of still-standing regimes off, and that
complicates US policy.
The GCC, particularly Bahrain (though interesting he didn't name saudi
as part of the GCC forces), have their own national security interests
at stake. Obama says release Shiites from jail, but Bahrain and Saudi
say these are Iranian agents working to overthrow them. Whatever the
truth of the matter, their reaction is 'none of your damn business. are
you going to help us fend against Iran, or what?' As we heard in
previous insight, the Saudis seem pretty scared that the US and Iran
will deal separately and are contemplating the very unsavory option of
dealing with the enemy first.
The Israelis are not going to be happy with Obama's push on the peace
process, but it's not like it's going to go anywhere. Settlement
construction plans for 5,150 settlements in WB were timed today with the
speech. Bibi will give his speech tomorrow in Congress. He's not going
to get pushed into making any major concession by Obama. Egypt is still
shaky, and the possibility of a third intifada is real.

First Calls from ABC: Kentucky for McCain, Vermont for Obama.
Leave your comments in the post. The most recent news will be at the top, but below this.
First Calls from ABC: Kentucky for McCain, Vermont for Obama.
We're in the bell lap in this marathon that has gone on way too long already. As an aside, I believe that one of the reasons we are choosing between the two candidates we have is due to the length of the campaign this election cycle. I think it is very likely that a shorter campaign could have given us two completely different presidential candidates.
But, we get to vote for what we have, not what we could have had.
I am part of the large majority of Americans who, in spite of all the hype and headlines, has not taken advantage of early voting. As I mentioned the other day, I like going to my local polling place on election day. There is something almost "ceremonial" about casting a ballot, and despite any real or perceived inconvenience it is something that I truly look forward to doing.
If the lines aren't too long first thing tomorrow morning the process shouldn't take very long at all. I am not one of the undecided voters and I won't be making up my mind with the pencil in my hand.
President/Vice President — John McCain/Sarah Palin. I have laid out my reasons for supporting John McCain already. It is, to be honest, almost as much a vote against Barack Obama as it is for McCain. Almost. I am convinced that the policies of Barack "The One™" Hussein Obama would be detrimental to our country; Even those that could benefit me personally in the short term.
That alone would not be enough to convince me to vote for John McCain. While I am sure that I will not agree 100% with a President McCain, I will agree with him and his direction for our nation most of the time.
U.S. House (Fl-D12) — Adam Putnam. I have really grown to appreciate his psotions and his leadership. He was one of the leading voices in the house to take an "all of the above" approach to energy policy.
Here's hoping for the best tomorrow. I'll be doing my part. That's all I have left that I can do.
Choices, choices. What to do on a Wednesday night?
There was McCain/Obama debate III of course, but team Obamessiah had already told us how it would all turn out. Besides, my pre-debate assessment was the same as A.J. Strata's:
To save myself time I am going to live blog the debate now and get it over with:
McCain wins most rounds, nation differs with me when polled.
It didn't matter that I didn't watch, Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee summed it up well:
Senator Government: Spend, spend, spend.
Senator Blinky: You can't spend your way into prosperity.
Now, will anyone looking for Hopeychange understand?
Instead of watching the debate I went the Good Lt. route. The Phillies are going to the World Series!
Before the debate even ended the McCain campaign had put this out:
Not me, but Steveegg is.
I'll just follow his effort while being free to make wise a$$ comments there. I don't know how much of the debate I'll be able to watch in between the Marlins playing the Mets (3-0 Fish in the bottom of the 6th), Cubs and Brewers (1-1 in the top of the third) and following the Phillies and Nationals online (7-4 Phils at the end of 6).
I caught Barry O's response to John McCain on the radio as I was coming home from work yesterday. Two things struck me. Of course quite a few people caught the "if you need me, call me" comment, but the thing that struck me was something he said earlier in his remarks.
I don't know the exact chronology on this, so let's assume his words are as pure and golden as The One himself. Prior to the Q&A he was talking about the joint release he wanted to make with McCain. He talked about some of the specifics of the plan he would like to see implemented and remarked that Sen. McCain had "adopted his position" on some of those things. Like I said, I don't know who said what first, but I have a hard time believing that McCain made any decision on his position based on what The Obamessiah put forth. Even if he did, it still sounded as arrogant as anything I've heard fall from his lips, and that's saying something.
My thoughts on yesterday's events are that Senator McCain is honestly focused on finding a workable solution while his opponent is focused on finding a political opportunity. Your thoughts?
You are all well aware by now that John McCain has picked Alaska governor Sarah Palin to run as his running mate. When the buzz was strong about this early this morning I had a conversation about this pick with a conservative co-worker. We came to two conclusions. One: She is perhaps unique in her ability to exite and appeal to the Republican base (as well or better than Sen. McCain) and draw in moderates and disaffected Hillary supporters. Two: There is a real possibility that some feminist heads will explode like a Cog being hit by Wedding Cake over the dilema of having a pro-life woman running for Vice President.
More later.
When I looked at the electoral vote projections at Election Projection yesterday I was surprised to see that John McCain had jumped out to a 274-264 lead. It's even more interesting today.
John McCain's newly acquired status as presidential leader here at Election Projection lasted exactly one day. A Research 2000 poll out yesterday gives Barack Obama a one point lead in Nevada, and with that result, Nevada slips back into the blue column. Courtesy of Silver State's one-day turnaround, we are now looking at a dead-even tie in the Electoral College. Obama is projected to win 269 EVs. McCain is projected to win 269 EVs. Oh my! And the interesting thing is that it's not hard to imagine the states coming in on election night as they currently stand.
Of course it's still early, and these numbers are written in this weeks Florida beach sand.
The Mile High coronation is about to begin (if disgruntled Hillary supporters can be "whipped" into line). Next week should be really interesting.
Before he was Gilligan, Bob Denver played the lovable beatnik Maynard G. Krebs. The character was known for iconic catch phrases such as, "I'm getting kinda misty…", "You rang?", and perhaps his most famous, "Work!"
It was a reflexive reply whenever the word work was mentioned, even innocuously. Krebs, the prototypical hippie, felt that work was the ultimate four letter word.
Sort of the same way Senator Obama feels about "Debate!"
Barack Obama's campaign released a letter this afternoon from campaign manager David Plouffe to the Commission on Presidential Debates only agreeing to the traditional three sanctioned fall debates and single vice presidential forum.
"Due to the late date of the two parties' nominating conventions, and the relatively short period between the end of the conventions and the first proposed debate, it is likely that the four commission debates will be the sole series of debates in the fall campaign," Plouffe writes.
Sounds good, but I ain't buyin' it.
The response from the McCain campaign was deadly accurate:
"We understand it might be beneath a worldwide celebrity of Barack Obama's magnitude to appear at town hall meetings alongside John McCain and directly answer questions from the American people, but we hope he'll reconsider,"
In other words,
It is great to get up in the morning and see a fine display of journalistic balance. </snark>
This is a view of my Google feed reader this morning in a folder I have labeled Elections. Sixteen headlines visible without scrolling, thirteen stories about the Obamessiah, one "Today on the presidential campaign trail", and two on John McCain – one of those about the veterans group working against McCain.
So, here is journalistic balance — In A Nutshell:

After graduating from college in Virginia, Hannah moved to New York for a job and needed a new doctor to care for her skin. She made an appointment with Hooman Khorosani, MD, assistant professor of dermatology and chief of division of Mohs, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
"If melanoma is recognized and treated early, it is almost always curable," said Khorosani. "But if it is not, the cancer can advance and spread to other parts of the body, where it becomes hard to treat and can be fatal. Once you have melanoma, you are more likely to get it again and again in other areas of your body."
A cancer survivor, Hannah sees Dr. Khorosani for follow up appointments every three months, where he meticulously maps all of her moles and even checks between her toes and on her scalp for anything suspicious.

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
A splashy newcomer in staid Savannah, the Mansion on Forsyth Park had tongues wagging the minute it opened. Its big-city-style restaurant, which gussies up Southern cooking (where else would you find grits-encrusted veal chops?), is in an 1888 mansion that was previously a funeral home. Next door, a brand-new building houses all 126 guest rooms, a small pool, a full spa, and hundreds of pieces from owner Richard Kessler's art collection. The art, like the decor, is a pastiche of styles, mediums, and colors: gold-and-black-print Louis XV–style chairs, teal curtains, and marble sculptures of nude bathers. Rooms are more subtle but still fun, with white baroque headboards and green crushed-velvet chaises. Yet for all this attention to bold design, the Mansion excels at old-fashioned hospitality: Staff are unfailingly polite and, most important, know where to find the best fried chicken in town. 2006 Hot ListAmenities: Pool, Spa

July 6, 2011
Roadrunner Food Bank in Albuquerque, New Mexico plays a unique role in food distribution throughout New Mexico. They are not a faith-based organization but they often work with churches, etc. They are really cooperative and gather food from every imaginable source. They supply smaller groups and also give to people in need directly. I am impressed by their communication with the public and their openness to listen to new ideas and needs. RRFB also works with school groups and other groups to pack boxes with food. It is a very educational experience, especially when the participants realize the great need in New Mexico.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
volunteering at the food bank, collecting food, sorting etc.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Although markets are closed today, earnings are still coming out. One of the core pieces of my income portfolio, BP plc. (NYSE:BP) reported earnings today. It pretty much beat across the board and showed again why it is on the comeback trail after a horrid two years.
Key highlights from BP's earnings report:
- Net profits after adjustments came in at $5.17B, more than a billion over consensus estimates of $4.09B.
- Refining and marketing drove this beat as profit there came in at $3B, 60% higher than most estimates calling for just $1.8B. The company also does not have any refineries that are in Sandy's path of destruction.
- More importantly, the company announced they are raising their dividend payout by 12.5%.
4 additional reasons why BP is a solid income selection at under $42 a share:
- With the just announced dividend hike, the stock yields over 5%. With the cash extracted from its recent deal with Rosneft, I would look for dividend payouts to continue to increase over the next few years to reward what the company's CEO stated in earnings report "its long suffering shareholders" with sticking with the company.
- The company should make its final payment to the $20B gulf oil spill compensation fund by the end of the year. It hopes to settle the rest of its suits in the near future, a prospect that will improve with a Romney victory. It also has raised $35B of its $38B goal via asset divestitures.
- BP has an A rated balance sheet and the median price target of $50 on the shares. S&P is more upbeat and has a $56 price target on the stock.
- Bottom line: Investors are getting a 5% plus yielder that is getting back on its feet for just over 7.5x forward earnings. A bargain in anyone's book.

Oren Bennett, 21-Year-Old College Dropout, Is Starting His Own Venture Fund
Betabeat ran into a precocious young man last night named Oren Bennett. "Don't I know you from somewhere?" he asked us as we grabbed some pita and hummus from the snack table at the Brooklyn Beta party. We shook our heads no, and asked if he was a startup guy.
"No, although I do love startups. I'm starting my own venture fund," Mr. Bennet informed us.
Did he have any experience in venture capital?
