SIERRA VISTA - Yesterday's burnout operations successfully widened the fire line north of Ramsey Canyon Road, helping to keep the Monument Fire out of the path of residences in the area.
The Monument Fire is currently at 27,200 acres, and a crew of 1,189 people have the blaze 45 percent contained.
Today, crews will be conducting additional burnout operations between Ramsey Canyon and the southern edge of the contained Garden Fire, and other crews will be burning out along the southwestern side of the fire, north of Forest Road 61 in the Blind Canyon area.
Smoke and flames may be visible near Sierra Vista, but these will be controlled burned in favorable conditions, incident officials say. Winds are expected to be mild today, but temperatures will be high and relative humidity will be low, officials say.

A shooting rampage at a St. Louis, Mo., manufacturing plant killed at least three people and injured five others, Thursday.
Police say the shooter, 51-year-old Timothy Hendron, was a long time employee of the ABB Group's plant.
According to investigators, Hendron began shooting in the parking lot around 6:30 a.m., then later moved into a nearby building. He was armed with an assault rifle and handgun.
Police spent several hours after the shooting searching for him. Unconfirmed reports said he was found dead inside the building.
In 2006, Hendron sued the company over retirement losses. The lawsuit went to trial Tuesday.

Review: ohGr at the Bluebird, 12/07/11
Tom Murphy ohGr last night at the Bluebird Theater
"Don't do coke," Ogre urged the audience at the Bluebird last night. "Because I sure fuckin' did, and it nearly killed me." This unvarnished pronouncement from ohGr's frontman came at the end of a particularly strong and sharp performance of "Timebomb," one of the best numbers from Devils In My Details, and you could feel the tension in the room in a moment of awkward silence that followed as some people processed what Ogre was saying in such a simple, straightforward manner.
Fog rolled in off the stage right area above the doorway to the backstage area of the Bluebird for several minutes before the members of ohGr strolled on to stage all wearing grey suits, and being led by Ogre who was wearing a police riot helmet. Appropriately enough, the set began with "Crash" and featured a well-chosen blend of material from across the ohGr catalogue including "Eye Candy," with its compellingly disjointed rhythm accentuated now and again by Ogre's signature hand flutter.
Tom Murphy ohGr last night at the Bluebird Theater
Throughout the show, Ogre gestured with his usual flair for the theatrical while perfectly executing his distorted vocals. What's interesting about Ogre's singing, though, is that even when it's distended, distorted, warped and otherwise contorted into different shapes, you can usually understand what he's trying to say. Somehow, the meaning isn't lost in the translation from words in the head and those as expressed through electronic devices that change the character of the voice.
Tom Murphy ohGr last night at the Bluebird Theater
The act's set ended with a chanted, nearly rapped "Minus" with its insistent refrain. The crowd, who was clearly into the show, beckoned the band back out for a three song encore beginning with "Hollow" and closing with an especially bombastic and forceful rendition of "wateR." During ohGr's set, Ogre informed us that would be fifty years old next year. Hard to believe, as the guy has more life and vitality than most people his age.

Koen de Kort Tour diary – Stage 7
PUBLISHED: 08 Jul 2012 07:57:31 | UPDATED: 09 Jul 2012 08:46:36PRINT EDITION: 08 Jul 2012Koen de Kort (left) provides exclusive insights into the 2012 Tour de France for The Australian Financial Review. Photo: AFP
Koen de Kort
The flat stages are done, the nervousness has left the peloton, or at least a little bit, and we have started to go into the mountains. The time has come for the small and lightweight climbers to do their thing while the sprinters try to survive and make time cut.
Sprinters are strong and muscly, bodies built for pure peak power, going as fast as possible on a flat road. They do a lot of weight training in the gym and typically weigh over 80kg, sometimes even 90kg, with barely any fat on them, just muscles and raw power. This weight is starting to become a problem by this time in the Tour as they will have to drag all these muscles over the mountains. In comparison, most climbers are small, have even less fat and typically weigh less than 60kg. I'm personally pretty much right in the middle, I weigh 70kg and am pretty all-round but I won't regard myself a climber, maybe even more a sprinter.
Luckily I have never really had to worry about making time cut in the mountain stages but for the sprinters this is a big worry. Every stage there is a certain percentage of the time of the winner that any rider is allowed to lose, if a rider finishes outside this time limit he will get eliminated from the race, something you never want to happen to you.
A stage like today is no problem regarding time cut and every sprinter is happy to do a mountain stage like today with just one big mountain at the end of the race. Chances are very slim anyone will lose 30 minutes or more in just the last 10km so you won't see too many stressed sprinters at the start of stages like that.
Tomorrow is a complete different story altogether; a stage many sprinters and other non-climbers have been dreading for a long time. First of all, the stage is only 157km long, which makes the time of the winner shorter compared to a 200km stage, and therefore the time limit smaller. Secondly, there are many climbs on the route tomorrow, already a few very early in the stage. Getting dropped early in the race means you are only allowed to lose the maximum amount of time limit, say 30 minutes, on possibly up to 130 km in a small group in the back of the race. An added problem is that it's possible for a breakaway to manage to stay away and battle for the stage win so it will be sure to go extremely fast in the beginning because many riders will want to be in that breakaway, double trouble for the non-climbers.
Today I took it relatively easy, saving all my energy for the days to come. I'm not here in the Tour de France to go for a good position on the general classification so it's important to save energy when possible to spend it all in a stage where I have a chance to win. Let's hope tomorrow is one of these stages where I can spend all my energy for a stage win but that will depend if I manage to get in the breakaway.

Wise Joins Toby Marketing Drag Racing Effort
NEW YORK (Dec. 8) -- Allyson Wise of Daytona Beach, Fla., has joined Toby Marketing Inc. as a public relations representative for the Collins Racing Pro Stock team, which competes in the National Hot Rod Association. Wise's duties will include media relations, hospitality events and all other sponsor and team-related public relations and promotional functions.
Wise comes to TMI from the NASCAR ranks with a well-rounded knowledge of motorsports and sports marketing. Her background spans the better part of 15 years and includes handling public relations and marketing duties for several NASCAR Grand National and Truck teams along with two oval short tracks on the East Coast. Wise has also served as a motorsports consultant for several sponsors as well as a member of the MRN Radio Broadcasting team. Her most recent function included handling logistics for hospitality suites, conferences, banquets and other special events directly for NASCAR.
TMI is a full-service sports marketing agency specializing in handling total motorsports management for various Fortune 500 companies. Along with the Collins Racing team, TMI represents Team Pennzoil's NHRA sponsorship, providing on-site media and public relations for all of the Pennzoil-sponsored drivers. In addition to the NHRA, TMI has also handled motorsports management for companies involved in NASCAR's top three divisions as well as the SCCA. These companies include Raybestos, Icehouse, RCA, Ford Motor Company, Meinke Discount Muffler, Harris Teeter and Foster Grant sunglasses, to name a few.
Collins Racing is a two-car team based out Richmond, Va. Ostrich farmer and businessman Shawn Collins and his wife Mary own the team. Collins drives one of the cars himself and the other machine is piloted by Richie "The Kid" Stevens, who resides in New Orleans. The team will be entering their second NHRA season in 1999 and will be riding high after Stevens ended his rookie season with a season-ending win at the Winston Finals in Pomona, Calif.

The Delta Arts Alliance Winter Program will be held on Dec. 6 at Jobe Hall Auditorium from 6-7 p.m.
This even will be free and open to the public.
"I've had this date circled for a very long time in my datebook. I am so excited for these kids, who have worked so incredibly hard this fall semester, to be able to present their work and show off their inspiring talents," said Executive Director Rori Herbison.
This is a culmination event for the after-school programs, four of which are new.
The DAA after-school programming serves over 65 students.
Simplicity of Music program consists of two groups 4k through first grade and and second through sixth grade. This group will perform its percussion piece and two vocal pieces.

Lead School of Dance Instructor, Emily Tschiffely will also present new work.
The School of Dance, now in its second year, has 300 percent growth in its enrollment.
"A recital for a performer is no different than a big game for an athlete. This is their moment in front of the crowd, hearing the applause, feeling that sense of accomplishment. Just as we, in this community, encourage support of our local athletes, this is a time the Delta Arts Alliance calls on the community to support our young superstars. It promises to be a fantastic evening of entertainment," Herbison said.
Lead School of Dance Instructor, Emily Tschiffely will also present new work.
Arc of Success, a six-week welding program with seven participants from different high schools in the Cleveland School District will receive their certificate of completion for the six-week program, as well as present their final projects.

The Ballroom Dancing class will also perform and is instructed by Eric Zernich.
The finale piece will incorporate the entire School of Dance, as well surprise cameos.
"We will also use Friday's Winter Program as an opportunity to announce our spring offerings. The Delta Arts Alliance continues to grow each semester and we're proud of the work we're doing. We're proud of our growth, proud of our efforts to employ local artists and offer arts-education based programming to the area children.
"As a parent, a grandparent, a family friend, a teacher - whatever the case may be - I strongly encourage you to look at the Delta Arts Alliance as a viable, affordable and life-changing after-school activity for your children," Herbison said.
For more information, please call (662) 843-3344 or you can email Herbison at email@example.com

2011 Interview With A 23 Year Old Ku Klux Klansman From Vidor, Texas
Monday, July 18, 2011
The races he doesn't like: Jews because they killed Jesus Christ....Blacks because they can't get over the past.
Lol Jewish people in 2012 have nothing to do with what Jewish people were said to have done in 30 AD, how contradicting... Who isn't getting over the past?
My mom grew up in Vidor. She told me that they used to have a big billboard coming into town that read, "No ni**ers allowed." East Texas is not the place to be if you aren't white and openly racist.
My mom grew up in Vidor. She told me there was always a big billboard coming in to town that read, "Welcome to Vidor, No N*ggers Allowed". Not exactly an Obama base.
The sign actually said ni**r don't let sun set on your black ass II grew up there to.
You people are stupid,Vidor is a drug infested town with that white power shit still going on someone needs to come in and clean that shit up. I can't believe people are still doin that shit in east Texas. I think people that reminds other people the history of Vidor have some sort of connection with the culture, otherwise its embarrasing if you are from Vidor.

Builder changing floor?? Quarter sawn??
posted by: anncamp on 01.26.2011 at 10:16 pm in Flooring Forum We were suppose to have solid wood floors site finished. Our builder talked us into quartersawn white oak. I believe these are 3/4 inch. Today he told me that the floor man can't get this as readily but can get 3/8 on plywood and that this is a better deal (it is usually more expensive) and that it is a better product. IS this True?? Need to know so I can make a decision or is he giving me a line? Also, who do I know to trust to lay and finish these floors? Would you call this engineered wood flooring and wouldn't it be less money?
Thanks, Ann NOTES: <none>

Got a part from our vendor. When I place this in an idw, some of the lines are missing.
In the model, there are no surfaces. None of the solids failed on the import. No problems appear in the model browser.
First tried turning on Tangent edges in the idw. No joy there.
When I right click on the view in the idw and select "Include All Surfaces", the edges are shown while the view is computing, but after it computes, the edges are gone again. The .step file that was sent to me is 10MB and the ipt is 32MB. If somebody wants the file I can send it to them.
Never seen anything like this before.

Did the import pass quality check? (green checkmarks in browser)
Did you run through Construction Environement to try to repair?
I see what your saying now. When I right click on the solid in the model browser and choose "Repair Body", it finds two "Modeling Uncertainties". The Heal erros fixed one of them, but one is being stubborn.
Can't post the file cause it is over the 1.5mb limit. Cant get it to heal (ref. \\T1M7-0400\142-131-0_1.ipt)
I have had better success in the Construction Environment rather than the Repair Environment.
I have no idea why Autodesk has not reconciled these two environments.
Still can't get it to repair in either environment. Inventor has not problem finding the error, but it will not heal it. I have tried boundary patch and stitch, but I cant get it. If someone does get this to work, can you tell me what was done, cause I will have to do it to the actual part in my iam. I imported this part in with the "Multiple Solid Part" option, just so I could upload it.

The Oregon legislature voted on spending plans for education this week. The Senate unanimously passed a plan for funding K-12 schools at a level of $5.7 billion.
Many complained that's too small. But Democratic Senator Chris Edwards nicely summed up the feeling in the room.
Chris Edwards: "You know what? This recession sucks. All these decisions suck. And this budget sucks. But we don't have a choice."
Environmentalists might have reason to think a federal spending plan sucks, because one version removes grey wolves from the Endangered Species List. And one Oregon political party has to fight to merely keep its name.
On Fridays we talk politics with Bill and Jeff. Bill Lunch is OPB's Political Analyst, and he joins us from Washington state. Jeff Mapes is the senior political reporter for The Oregonian.

I am ready to get our theater/stereo speakers. Some are in ceiling and some book shelf and tower. Any input as to the best? I do not particularly like Bose in this arena. One local dealer really likes the Paradigm over the Polk. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hard choice as all of them are top notch. Your dealer should be able to give you the best advice if he can see the room your are going to install the system in. At least offer them the dimensions. You wont go wrong with any. I have Boston Acoustics, my father-in-law had Paradigm. Both are awesome. HeHe, my car has Bose. |
I have listened to all three brands. All make a quality product. Listen to them and buy which ones sound best to you. |
I'll third that. Any of them are good and all of them will sound different once they're actually installed. I've owned BAs and Polks and have heard Paradigms; I could be happy with any of 'em. |
All good stuff, but I would throw in B&W and Vienna Accoustics if you can find them and afford them... |

the nogoodforme interview: Francesca Lia Block!
I'm sort of stumbling over words to express how super-, maximum-, ultra-excited we are to be running an interview with one of our most collectively beloved authors, Francesca Lia Block. Legions of fans of books such as Weetzie Bat, The Hanged Man, Violet & Claire and many, many, many others need no introduction to Block -- she inspires such a devoted, passionate following with her readers that I can definitely hear the collective excitement already in various outlets of girl culture. (Liz, Laura and I all spent time on the witchbaby list, dedicated to all things FLB, and first "met" there and exchanged zines through it, so you can imagine the sentimental pull that doing an interview with FLB has for us...we literally wouldn't be here together if not for her work!) The thing is that her books are powerful, honest, beautiful and go way beyond the genre definition of "young adult" or what have you. People become so enchanted with Block's books that they become an intrinsic part of them, especially when the stories have such lush prose, starry-eyed plots and vibrant, sometimes poisonous Angeleno beauty. Entering the Francesca Lia Block fictional universe is like entering a world where beauty can be extracted from pain, where magic happens with a kiss, where food, friends, clothes, music, art and creativity jangle alongside one another like charms on a bracelet, linked together by love and sorrow and everything else. Being part of that imaginative realm, even for a few hours -- no one looks at the world in quite the same way again. To take a phrase from one of my favorite FLB short stories ever, life is the big romance in her stories, and that's something we don't forget here.
It looks like you've got a few new books coming out soon! Tell us about your current projects and a little bit about how they came about, creatively and emotionally. Quakeland just came out with Manic D Press. It is a novella and short stories about sex, death, love and female friendship in Los Angeles. It came mostly from my personal experience as a single mother in the dance/new age community in L.A. I am very happy with Manic D Press, a small press from San Francisco. They did a great job of putting the book together. Jennifer Joseph asked my opinion about cover art and I suggested Irene Hardwicke Oliveri, who is Catherine Hardwicke's sister (I met Catherine when we were discussing possibly doing Weetzie as a movie together). Jennifer loved Irene's art and chose a painting and Irene agreed to use it on the cover. I love that image so much.
I also have Blood Roses with Harper. It is a book of magical realist short stories about growing up in L.A. A lot of the stories deal with body image, something very important to me. There is also a theme of transformation. I combine very real experiences that young people have with stories of centaurs, giants and fairies. It is a bit like Kelly Link's Magic for Beginners. I'm posing nude on the cover but you can't see it very well because they wrote all over me! My ex took the photo.
In a few months How to (Un)Cage A Girl comes out from Harper. It is a collection of poems about the way we can free ourselves from the cages we find ourselves in. There are three sections. The first deals with freeing the self by facing your past. The second is about freedom through understanding your environment (in my case L.A.) and the third part is about writing love poems to our friends, appreciating other women as a way to love and release ourselves.
I am also "expecting" some more babies. The Waters and the Wild is a changeling story from Harper. House of Dolls is a book for younger readers from Harper. I wrote a picture book with my agent Lydia Wills. It's called Little Pink. I also have just finished a vampire book that I'm very excited about! It's called Pretty Dead. My new editor Tara Weikum has been helping me with it. I adore her.
I just signed a contract for another book of poems with Manic D. This one is tentatively titled Open Letter to Quiet Light about a relationship and it's demise.
I have another adult book I'm working on called Lay Me Out Softly. A short story from it will be in Susie Bright's upcoming erotic gothic anthology.
Forest Folk: A Dating Guide, coming soon from Bloomsbury. It's like Linda Goodman's Love Signs for the fairy generation.
What else? I've been a bit manic with the writing. I think I have hypergraphia. I've been posting poems on my blog on myspace almost daily.
I loved that you revisited Weetzie Bat's story in Necklace of Kisses. Are you going to revisit any of your other characters again? I have a contract for a prequel to Weetzie, about Weetzie as a girl and teen.
What book or character of yours has surprised you the most? (i.e. in terms of thinking the story would be one way but ended up somehow different from your original idea. Or, you were surprised by the reactions it got, etc.) Weetzie surprised me because it felt so small and personal and it has been so well-received, published in so many languages. I've had film interest for years. It almost has a life of its own.
All my characters surprise me when I start writing. That's the fun part! They just talk to me.
I'm always struck by how music has such a presence in the lives of your characters. Do you write with any particular "soundtracks"? How does music figure into your creative process? Just yesterday I told my friend I'd make her a CD of songs to help her write her new book. I thought to myself, I should do this for all my books as I'm working. But I've been a bit slow on the technology so only recently got iTunes. I could spend all day making mixes. I have certain songs that influence all my work.
What's your favorite of all your books? And who's your favorite of your characters? I'll say Weetzie because she started it all but really they are all close to me. Echo is the most autobiographical. The Hanged Man may be the most well-structured, poetic book. I love Guarding the Moon because it is for my daughter Jasmine. Dangerous Angels feels good to hold. I like Nymph (erotic stories) because I wave it around in people's faces when they call me a children's book author. Pretty Dead may be my next Weetzie. It's much darker but it feels like a leap into new territory as Weetzie was.
What most inspires you lately? My myspace friends. Music. My kids. My real friends. Internet dating. James Jean. The man who sends me excruciatingly beautiful poems. Greek mythology. Astrology. Fairy tales. Tranny Boys. Vampires. Weird stories on the news.
What music have you been listening to recently? I've been listening to The Dandy Warhols, Nada Surf, Moby. Annie Lennox, Goldfrapp, Death Cab for Cutie, Mazzy Star, Ladytron
And what are some of your all-time music favorites? P.J., Sinead, Tori, Joni, R.E.M., Alanis, Bowie, Dylan, Led Zep, early 80's punk bands, X, Patti Smith
Who is your all-time number one music crush? Cat Stevens when he was young. Iggy Pop, PJ Harvey.
Name a record that you loved as a little kid that you still love today. Teaser and the Firecat by Cat Stevens and Clouds and Ladies of the Canyon by Joni Mitchell.
What music do you like to primp to? MGMT and Silversun Pickups and The Sounds and Metro Station.
Favorite makeout music? I make new CDs every time. "Breathe Me" by Sia ranks pretty high up there. "I Want Your Hands on Me" by Sinead. "Pictures of You" by the Cure. " Michael Stipe's voice. "Raspberry Swirl" by Tori Amos and "Space Dog" for some reason (musically not lyrically it kills me, very much like a female orgasm) , "Origin of Love" by Hedwig
Who are some of your style idols? Charlotte Gainsbourg, PJ Harvey, Madonna, Coco Chanel, Miuccia Prada, Elsa Schiaparelli, Marisa Berenson
Whose closet would you most like to raid? Charlotte's
Do you have any favorite designers? Prada, Karl Lagerfeld
What's been your favorite outfit of yours lately? White jeans, Kork-ease 4inch platforms, floral and lace blouse, giant rose quartz beads, white bag
Who do you consider the most stylish girls (and/or boys) among fictional characters in the literature/book world? Can I say Weetzie? Sorry, I'm blanking out on this question. Tell me! [I'd agree, actually -- Weetzie has a pretty amazing wardrobe!]
What are your favorite best-kept-secret-type spots around L.A..? Or anywhere else in the world? In L.A. I like downtown Culver City--the Culver Hotel, where the munchkins lived while filming Wizard of Oz, M Cafe, Tender Greens, the movie theater with the lion fountain, free parking, farmer's market, galleries etc.
Do you have any writing rituals you'd like to tell us about? (i.e., do you write at certain times, in certain places, etc.?) I write whenever and wherever I can. I write in my head all day.
What are some of your all-time favorite books? One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez, House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende, Nine Stories by Salinger, Rule of the Bone by Russell Banks, The Circus of the Earth and the Air by Brooke Stevens, anything by Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Anais Nin, Virginia Woolf.
What advice would you give to aspiring writers? Write your ass off and read as much as you can get your hands on , start a writing group, share with trusted friends, send a poem back and forth with a friend for 30 days, start a poetry revolution
Who's your favorite Beatle and why? I loved George when I was a kid because I thought he was cute. John wins, though.
What's your spirit animal? Good question! The deer. What's yours?

this is so awesome! and the idea of catherine hardwicke directing a weetzie movie is the best thing i've ever heard.
what a fantastic interview - who knew she was such a myspace fanatic.
FLB loves Cat Stevens and Joni Mitchell and I love Cat Stevens and Joni Mitchell.
And I love this interview. Can you interview Joan Didion next please?
hey guys, do you know if the old witchbaby list still exists? I don't even remember where it was but I reaaaaaaaaally want to find this hella old picture of myself that was still posted to the member photos as of a couple years ago...
This woman inspires me so much. Thanks so much for doing this interview -- I'm sitting here writing a 10-page English research paper & was feeling completely drained, but reading this interview reminded me what I love about reading & writing. Thanks again & I'm so glad I found your site!
Go you, FLB! I love the advice for writers
Oh wow! I remember the witchbaby list. I was there too! That was the beginning of my FLB fascination. Thank you for such a wonderful interview.

'Lovelace' To Replace Demi Moore With Sarah Jessica Parker
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 27, 2012 | Comments (5)I'm not one to report on celebrity gossip, so I'm not going to get too much into what's been going on with Demi Moore lately, but suffice to say, the lady is having some issues that have caused her to drop out of the Linda Lovelace biopic Lovelace. She was set to play Gloria Steinem, who was a high profile feminist writer and political leader of the women's lib movement in the 70s. Over the course of her career Steinem spoke out pretty regularly against the porn business, and in 1980 she wrote a piece for "Ms. Magazine" titled 'The Real Linda Lovelace' that acts as a framing device for Lovelace's storytelling; so this should be a small but important role that's going to require an experienced actress.
Movie News After Dark: Alien Biker Jemaine, Portlandia, Film Studies Ryan Gosling and The Lion King Rises

Now enough of that mushy stuff, lets do the news. We begin this evening with an image of biker Jemaine Clement in Men in Black III. He's playing an alien biker who turns out to be the villain in this time-traveling storyline…. And we wonder why that movie has had so many production problems? Either way, I'll watch Jemaine Clement eat soap if I have to, as that guy is quite funny.

Review: 'Bunraku' Spruces Up a Bland Story With Creativity and Style
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on October 3, 2011 | Comments (1)The world has descended into chaos. An artsy, color coordinated chaos to be sure, but still, society has taken a turn for the worse. To combat it the world's government bans all firearms in an effort to quell the escalating violence. The result is a fusion of the Old West and the Far East as disagreements and feuds are handled solely through fisticuffs, swordplay, and a strict code of honor. Two strangers ride into town, not on a horse, but on a train. The Drifter (Josh Hartnett) is looking for a card game and Yoshi (Gackt) is here at his dead father's request, but both men also have a secret purpose involving the town's big boss, Nicola the Woodcutter (Ron Perlman). Their dueling quests will bring them in contact with each other, but it also finds them crossing paths with The Bartender (Woody Harrelson), Yoshi's hot cousin Momoko (Emily Kaiho), the mysterious Alexandra (Demi Moore), and Nicola's red-suited army led by Killer #2 (Kevin McKidd). What follows is a storybook tale with an arresting visual style that brings comic book pages to life on a stage-like setting. It's theater for a new age that works as often as it doesn't depending on who and/or what is onscreen, but even when it fails as an engaging narrative it often manages to delight the senses with a barrage of imagery both broad and specific. It's a genre movie in cotton candy trappings, and while it runs a bit too long it's a […]
Interview: Josh Hartnett Goes to Cartoonish Heights in 'Bunraku'
Features By Jack Giroux on September 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentGuy Moshe's live-action cartoon, Bunraku, lives or dies by its cast. The poppy world Moshe created calls for a specific type of acting, and not an easy one. The film requires a sense of unrealistic cool. Josh Hartnett plays a silent, but suave cowboy, and he has to spout out some dialog you would never hear a normal human being say. With Lucky Number Slevin, The Black Dahlia, and his brief scene in Sin City, Hartnett's done that style of acting before. Here, he went about it differently. Instead of worrying about finding a grounding, as Hartnett says below, he wanted to embrace the odder tonal aspects. It bridges on cheesiness. But when one's acting against Woody Harrelson cracking jokes or Ron Perlman looking the way he does in the film, it's understandable that Hartnett would want to fit in with that scenery-chewing gang.
Reel Sex: The Need for Sexless Intimacy on Film
Features By Gwen Reyes on July 27, 2011 | Comments (2)If movies are to be believed, it's easy for couples to meet in some cute way, fall in love, and tumble right into the sack without any trouble in the world. Yes, some films address the clumsiness of lovers' first times together, but by the end of the scene they have figured out each other's ticks, pleasures, and even kinks. No matter how long the on-screen couple has dated, their comfort with each other develops quickly, never leaving the audience time to question their accelerated level of intimacy. It's as if they know each other perfectly or had a well-paid sex choreographer on retainer. But, truth be told, steamy intense intimacy doesn't always need to involve gyrations.
Trailer: 'Bunraku' Presents a Stylish, R-Rated Cartoon World
Movie News By Jack Giroux on July 26, 2011 | Be the First To CommentBunraku premiered almost a year ago at the Toronto Film festival, and since then, nothing but mixed things have been said about it. Based on this trailer, the love it or hate it reaction the film has received up to now makes even more sense. What director Guy Moshe seems to have done is taken a sizable budget with a respectable cast, and make a film that will appeal to, at best, five people. Count me in as one of those people.
Movie News After Dark: Dark Knight Rises Begins, Banned in Cannes, Titanic 3D, Super 8 and Great Cinematic Sandwiches
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 19, 2011 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that will soon be shot almost exclusively in IMAX. What this means for you is that you'll need to get a bigger monitor, as this column will only appear to those whose monitors are at least 70 feet tall. We feel that's the only way to read it. We promise to make it worth your while. According to a handy press release from Warner Bros., we can now confirm that production has begun on Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. For those who have not heard of this project, it's the third in Nolan's somewhat popular series of Batman movies. But wait, there's more: "Christopher Nolan is utilizing IMAX® cameras even more extensively than he did on The Dark Knight, which had marked the first time ever that a major feature film was partially shot with IMAX® cameras." Oh yes!

While probably not as well known as writer/director "Savage" Steve Holland's other '80s teen comedy Better Off Dead I will be bold and state that this follow up is funnier. It makes me laugh harder. Better Off Dead is one of the most imaginative teen comedies ever and holds up extremely well to repeat viewings without ever losing any of its potency, but if I'm going to pick one off my dvd shelf to watch seven times out of ten I'll grab One Crazy Summer for one simple reason. Better Off Dead does not have Bobcat Goldthwait anywhere in the movie whereas One Crazy Summer has him almost everywhere in the movie, and if he's in the scene at all that scene will be funny – and I will laugh until I feel like I'm about to throw up. He invokes involuntary bulimia in me.
Thomas Jane and Ashley Greene to 'LOL' with Miley Cyrus
Movie News By Neil Miller on July 1, 2010 | Comments (1)Here's some news I never thought I'd have to write. Thomas Jane, your friendly neighborhood star of Hung and the man formally known as The Punisher here at Reject HQ, has joined the comedy LOL, a remake of a French comedy named after the popular internet-speak short form of "Laughing Out Loud." He and Twilight star Ashley Greene join Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore, rounding out one of the most peculiar casts I've seen in a while.
The Joneses, starring David Duchovny and Demi Moore, is a sharp satire that takes on our consumerist society with self-reflexive flair.

Features By Kevin Carr on April 24, 2008 | Comments (24)When I first saw the trailers for Baby Mama, I couldn't help thinking how many other movies have pregnancy in the story somewhere. And since I'm a bit of a pig (yeah, I went there), I couldn't help but think how many of these pregnant characters were hot.
We all have guilty pleasures. Chocolate. Hannity & Colmes. John Tesh music. Snorting blow off the buttocks of a Thai hooker. The one thing all those have in common though is their general acceptance by polite society. My own guilty pleasure is more embarrassing than these, and I rarely find myself able to talk about it without fear of recrimination and judgment. I like Kevin Costner. This is not a new affliction for me. I've been a fan since he stole Silverado from the more seasoned ensemble around him. The rest of the movie-going public joined me in the late eighties through the early nineties as he churned out hit after hit… movies that not only made money but were actually damn entertaining. No Way Out, The Untouchables, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Dances With Wolves… How quickly people forget. Granted the man then went on to make some incredibly bad movies, like 3000 Miles to Graceland, which was without question the worst film released in 2001. (Yes, the same year that saw Freddy Got Fingered, Pearl Harbor, and Britney Spears' Crossroads.) But mixed in with the bad and mostly mediocre there have been some great performances in really good films… Tin Cup and The Upside of Anger come immediately to mind. Which brings me to the newly released DVD of Costner's latest film, Mr. Brooks. Costner plays Earl Brooks. Husband, father, businessman, serial killer… This isn't a spoiler as the movie's entire advertising campaign was built around Costner's portrayal […]

June 19, 2013 (PRWEB): Now that LED Lamps are Becoming the New Mainstream Bulb Choice, Watts Don't Measure Up, Reports Leapfrog Lighting News & Insights
Watts no longer measure up in terms of indicating brightness of bulbs, reports Leapfrog Lighting News & Insights. The new metrics are lumens, lux and footcandles, in a market where LED lamps produce more illumination per watt.
(PRWEB) June 19, 2013
The new metrics of lighting include more than just lumens and watts, reports Leapfrog Lighting News & Insights. With LED lamps becoming the new mainstream, there's more to deciding on a bulb than energy consumption:
"Illuminating illuminance: lumens and lux and footcandles, oh my!"
A question often asked by businesses considering LED lamps is "How bright is your LED light bulb?". The standard response is to cite the number of lumens specific to the lamp in question, or to get more specific, reference the number of lux for a specific distance. But unless the questioner is in the lighting industry, the terms "lumen" and "lux" often lead to confusion.
Manufacturers of the traditional light bulb decided to mass market the term Watts—which actually identifies the amount of power consumed—as a means of describing illuminance level. As a result, most of us are familiar with that metric. So to describe a LED light bulb as providing a certain number of lumens or lux is confusing. Read more…
"Energy Star rebates make sense for business"
Business owners understand the importance of operating cost effectively. The more money they save on unavoidable (but necessary) expenses, the more money they can put into their business—into directly affecting the bottom line. For retail stores and many other commercial enterprises, lighting is one of those expenses that can inadvertently place a stress on operations and prevent the business from reaching its main goal: profits.
Most people know that LED lighting is efficient. But many of those people also distrust the manufacturer's performance claims and recoil at the price per bulb in comparison to other lighting technologies, such as CFL or halogen. Read more… Read more…
"Are energy audits for retail stores a worthwhile investment?"
While energy audits were born out of the energy crisis of 1973, the industry exploded with the current threat of global warming and climate change. The purpose of an energy audit is to identify sources of energy loss in commercial, retail, or residential establishments and provide recommendations for maximizing efficiency and reducing consumption. But are energy audits in retail stores a worthwhile investment? Are these firms overstating their importance or are they providing a valuable service?
While most in the industry believe energy audits are valuable, standard advice is to differentiate between an auditor's main goal of reducing energy use, versus the goal of business: to increase the bottom line of procuring sales. Read more…

The epic hostile takeover bid by nuclear power company Exelon for independent rival NRG is over, after NRG shareholders today voted Exelon's proposal for nine new independent directors.
Exelon's efforts were considerable. Its all-share bid represented a 37 per cent premium to NRG's share value when it was first made in October, but this eroded to a few percentage points by mid-June, prompting Exelon to raised the offer in July. NRG fought back by pointing to the regulatory hurdles faced by the deal, which would make the US' biggest power group, and using its precious cash reserves to make an acquisition of its own.
But above all, it argued that the offer did not value the company adequately. NRG said that the acquisition of RRI Energy added about $4.50 a share, Exelon put the number at $1. Another key rationale for NRG's argument was its plans to build one of the first new nuclear plants in the US in 29 years. The company is among the frontrunners for government loan guarantees to build a plant.
Its arguments seem to have worked: 75 per cent of NRG shareholders who voted today backed the four existing directors up for re-election, prompting Exelon's chief executive John Rowe to say in a statement: "The NRG shareholders have spoken, and Exelon will move on. We wish NRG and its owners well."

A female Florida hospital employee has been arrested for using a deceased patient's credit cards to make purchases.
The victim of the theft died in the emergency room where the women worked on June 10. Within hours after his death, his three credit cards were used to purchase airline tickets, bridal shoes, pay phone bills and other assorted items totaling over $1,186.00. A patient registration representative in the emergency room was identified as a suspect.
Yesterday the women was arrested on a warrant for identity theft and 7 counts of credit card fraud.
So, this woman used the credit cards of a dead man to pay off her *personal* phone bills? *And* she didn't expect to be caught within a couple of weeks? With staff as mind-bogglingly stupid as that, it's no surprise the patient/victim died.
Too bad the headline in the article reads the way it does. Doesn't look as if the culprit was a nurse at all. It was a "patient registration representative." Clerical.

Absolutely shameful! As if the deceased's family didn't have enough on their plates, this Mod Cut has to add to it by running up bills on the dead man's accounts.
I'm glad she got nailed for this, but I wonder how many others do not.
My grandmother was missing a few pieces of her jewelry after dying at the hospital. That's bad enough, but for the family to have to deal with all the paperwork to clear up unauthorized debt is salt in the wounds.

This morning I watched part of a conversation about teaching practices, and application of constructivism to those teaching practices, between @teachpaperless and @drtimony. It started with a question put out by @teachpaperless to no one in particular, just to all of his Twitter followers.
@drtimony responded pretty quickly. I'd say from the way Shelly phrased the question, and the response from @drtimony, that these two gentlemen have a lot of agreement on this topic.
Their conversation continued from there. This is in reverse order, since they how it can be viewed on Twitter, so I recommend starting from the bottom and then reading up.
Both of these people are deep thinkers. They actively deconstruct other people's ideas and challenge contemporary models of viewing learning. In my opinion, they are both educational theorist leaders. While neither has the cultural authority and historical context of either Bruner or Piaget, maybe one day one or both of them might. I would not be surprised.
While I was watching the exchange, I felt compelled to jump in, and I did, and both of them responded to my query. The point is, Twitter enabled this conversation to happen, and allowed me to both be a passive observer, or an active participant. The choice was up to me. This is a lot like reading a series of letters between two great thinkers, but then being able to add to their conversation and ask questions. What a difference the technology here makes to the conversation itself!
What would a conversation between Bruner and Piaget looked like, if it had ever happened? Will future historians look back on conversations like these and wonder how ever survived without them?

Rhinelander, WI, Apr 23, 2012
-- @@With the grand opening of the Rhinelander Dental Center today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development has again assisted the Family Health Center of Marshfield, Inc. in their mission to bring affordable, quality oral healthcare to rural Wisconsin residents. The creation of this clinic is expected to provide approximately 38 jobs and serve more than 5,000 patients annually. Since 2008, the agency has funded six dental centers located in Park Falls, Neillsville, Rice Lake, Medford, Marshfield, and now Rhinelander, Wis. Through the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Loan Program, nearly $13 million has been funded for the dental care facilities; and over $7 million has been funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Funding from USDA Rural Development for Rhinelander's clinic is in the form of a loan for $2,492,000. "Not only do the clinics provide dental-care services, they build pride in the communities where they are located; they create permanent jobs, and they inspire confidence and economic development," said Stan Gruszynski, USDA Rural Development Wisconsin State Director. "USDA Rural Development is pleased to be a partner with the Family Health Center in creating a sustainable foundation for growth in rural Wisconsin." The expense of visiting a dentist and the distance required to travel to receive quality care are two factors that have made it difficult for rural Wisconsinites to receive the care they require. Family Health Center of Marshfield, Inc. has seen this essential need in Wisconsin's rural communities and has made it their mission to find a solution to provide greater access to proper dental care. In addition to helping patients, the clinics also provide jobs and improve the economic sustainability for the communities. "The USDA Rural Development fund has been a critical capital partner in Family Health Center's efforts to meet the oral health needs of patients who would otherwise go without care," said Greg Nycz, Executive Director of Family Health Center of Marshfield, Inc. "Our success simply could not be as extensive as it has been without the capital partner we have found in the USDA Rural Development program. Together we are making a big dent in the access problem in northern Wisconsin and helping to ensure continued economic development in many of our rural communities." USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities Programs provide grants to assist in the development of essential community facilities in rural areas and towns of up to 20,000 in population. Loans, guarantees and grants are available to public entities such as municipalities, counties, and special-purpose districts, as well as to non-profit corporations and tribal governments. USDA Rural Development's mission is to deliver programs in a way that will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of life of rural residents. As the lead federal agency for rural development needs, USDA Rural Development returned nearly $558 million dollars this past year to rural Wisconsin communities. Funds are used to finance and foster growth in homeownership, business development, and critical community and technological infrastructures. Further information on USDA Rural Development programs is available at a local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting the web site at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/wi. ### |

Battery Recall Program | |
These instructions apply to batteries for both Inspiron and Latitude notebook computers. | |
While Dell plans to replace your battery as quickly and safely as possible, we also strongly recommend that, for your own safety, you discharge any recalled batteries promptly. The extremely low probability of a battery malfunction can be eliminated entirely simply by discharging the battery to a charge level of 40% or less. To determine when that level has been reached, press the white dot at the far end of the battery (see photo below). At 40% or less, two or fewer green lights will be illuminated. Notebook computers are designed with various power-management systems to maximize battery life in ordinary use. To discharge your battery as efficiently as possible, it is necessary to first disable these power management settings. The instructions below explain how to do this. If you need to continue to use your computer, doing so without the AC adapter will discharge the battery, but will do so more slowly. The following instructions are being provided to safely speed the process of discharging recalled batteries:

Survival rates for small cell lung cancer
Some people with cancer may want to know the survival rates for their type of cancer. Others may not find the numbers helpful, or may even not want to know them. If you do not want to know them, stop reading here and skip to the next section.
Survival rates are a way for doctors and patients to get a general idea of the outlook for people with a certain type and stage of cancer. The 5-year survival rate refers to the percentage of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is found. Of course, many people live much longer than 5 years. Five-year relative survival rates compare the number of people who are still alive 5 years after their cancer was found to the survival of others the same age who don't have cancer. This is a better way to see the impact that cancer can have on survival.
The numbers below are 5-year relative survival rates from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. They are based on people with small cell lung cancer treated between 1988 and 2001. Improvements in treatment since then mean that the survival rates for people with these cancers may now be higher.
Stage |
5-year relative survival rate |
31% | ||
19% | ||
8% | ||
2% |
While these numbers provide an overall picture, keep in mind that every person's situation is unique and the statistics can't predict exactly what will happen in your case. Talk with your cancer care team if you have questions about your own chances of a cure, or how long you might survive your cancer. They know your situation best.

A group of Tampa Bay Rays fans traveled to Fenway Park to attend Wednesday night's game against the Boston Red Sox accompanied by a couple of female mannequin heads planted on sticks.
A man in the group was moving the sticks to make the heads bob up and down and turn side to side. The SunSports television broadcast team asked the obvious questions, such as "How do you get that into the park?" and, of course, "Why do you have them?"
There were no obvious answers to these questions, but there must be a story behind this. If any of our readers have a tip, please pass it along.

No Risk of Naegleria if Water Boiled or Chlorinated Say Experts
October 18, 2012
Outbreaks of bird flu, dengue fever and now the 'brain-eating' Naegleria fowleri have all made people very concerned about their health
Initial symptoms of PAM include headache, fever, anorexia, vomiting and later progress to a stiff neck, altered mental status, seizures before finally resulting in a coma.
"Unfortunately, PAM is a fatal disease for which no effective treatment exists anywhere in the world. While amoeba-killing medicines are always given to patients, these usually do not work and death occurs almost 99 per cent of the time. Only a small number of Naegleria cases have been reported worldwide, with a dramatic increase in Karachi recently," he said.

We building a new home and the questions could be endless, but today I am looking for some wisdom from those of you with stainless steel expertise. I fell in love with and already ordered the Elkay Avado EFT402211 sink (nice photo here http://www.houzz.com/photos/1093750/Elkay-Kitchen-Sink-Avado-EFT402211-modern-kitchen-sinks-) Elkay says it is a "brushed satin" finish. I won't actually get the sink until sometime in January, as it has to be shipped from the mfg. to the retailer. It is a drop in. It is going to go into an island and my plan was to have a stainless steel countertop fabricated for the island. Now I am starting to really worry about matching finishes. More specifically, I keep reading that you want to avoid polished finishes on the countertop because of scratches. Hmm . . . I cook a lot. I will use the heck out of that sink and countertop. For those of you know satin finishes, after a period of time, is any difference in finish really going to matter, or is it all going to get about the same patina in the end anyway? I know that sink isn't going to stay shiny no matter what Elkay does when they finish it. So should I be worried, or just roll with it knowing that in the end it is all going to "even out" so to speak? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have stainless countertops with integrated sink. It is awesome and I love it but you do need to accept that brushed stainless will show scratches. Lots of restaurants used brushed stainless in their kitchen -- see if you can get a look at some of their counters, that should give you a good idea of what to expect. I have a friend -- an architect -- who has stainless counters and he said once they got pretty thoroughly scratched up, he did a pass with a random orbit sander to change them from brushed stainless to a more matte finish. He said they turned out well -- I haven't seen them in person, so can't comment. Possibly something to think about though. If you're getting a steel countertop fabricated, you might be able to have the fabricator weld in your sink -- we did this and it looks great: the seams are finished so they're invisible. However, I think you might need an undermount to do this. If that sounds interesting, you should definitely check it out with your countertop fabricator. There are some photos of our integrated sink in the thread below: |
Here is a link that might be useful: Stainless counter with integrated sink.
Thanks so much for the reply! I just re-read my initial post and realize that I wrote that the Elkay sink is brushed satin. Obviously I have been spending way too much time reading about SS and have become delirious lol! Actually it is polished satin, which is the whole reason I was worried about a mismatch since I've been advised to avoid polished for the counter. What I'm hoping is that in time they'll both get enough small scratches that they'll look the same. I WISH that the sink were brushed. I also like the look of an integrated sink. But that Elkay is so fantastic that I am willing to put up with the drop in to have it. I just hope it's polished satin finish doesn't eternally look horrible up next to the countertop. |
