text: Well I was in for a big shock when I stepped on the scale this morning. I had lost 4 lbs this week! I believe it has something to do with the increase in my calories. All healthy calories btw. I was eating around 1300 when I started but I calculated what my body actually needed and it was around 1800. I thought it was way too high but I tried it and well I still go results! Now I dont expect 4 lbs off a week from now on but atleast I know it wasnt too much and I can stay at that for awhile. Ah so excited! :)

The company, backed by a division of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. makes a namesake education tablet that includes educational software and management features for teachers and administrators.
Designed for the rough and tumble of K-12 classrooms, the Amplify tablet runs Android 4.2 and includes ruggedized bumpers that also prevent the display from hitting up against a surface when it's placed with the display side down. It's also water and scratch resistant.
Also included is a stylus tethered to the device which also has a storage slot to keep the stylus on board.
Working with Intel, the design borrows from the chip maker's reference design for an education tablet though with some important additions.
Specifically, it includes a dual-core, 2 GHz Intel Atom processor (Intel's reference design features a 1 GHz Atom processor) and dual-band dual-antenna (2 x 2 MIMO) WiFi radio to boost connectivity within the school. It also has front and back cameras.
"We realized that, while we'd built the world's best platform for mobile learning using anyone's content, we needed to come up with a device that was ready for the physical demands of the school environment," said Klein. "That's exactly what we've done with this new tablet."
The new tablet is a redesign of last year's model that will be available this summer for teacher training in time for the start of the 2014-15 school year. Recommended pricing is $199 per tablet per year which includes educational software, lesson planning tools and support. The company says if schools could opt to buy the tablets outright, but Amplify encourages the lease option which includes everything in one package.
Stephen Smyth, president of the Amplify Access division which develops the Amplify Tablet System, said it's been designed for use both in the classroom and for use at home.
"We've anticipated that students will want to take the device home and we've designed in a variety of features for use both at home and in transit," said Smyth. Among other features he noted the Amplify tablet includes a safe web browsing filter and an app white list of apps authorized for download.

Fixing hardware issues
Last spring Amplify announced a deal with Guilford County Schools in North Carolina to deploy 21,215 10-inch Amplify tablets in the 2013-14 school year as part of a $30 million deal. But that distribution was suspended when one of the power supplies was reported to have partially melted.
Amplify said in a press briefing today that it had the issue thoroughly tested by an independent lab that determined the issue was caused by "an external source" and is confident it's been resolved.

Mattel's Masters of the Universe was one of the more iconic cartoon shows from the 80s, spawning a plethora of toys inspired by classic characters like He-Man, Skeletor, and Man-At-Arms. It was only fitting, therefore, that such a popular intellectual property have a quality video game, but such a thing has eluded the world of Eternia for years. That said, Chillingo took a stab at this with its newest iPhone and iPad title, He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe, a 2D hack-and-slash affair in which players guide He-Man through seven locations battling Skeletor's minions. It's a game rich with nostalgia, and while we somewhat enjoyed it, troubling controls make this effort more frustrating than it should be.

Zombiewood is a fantastic example of hybrid gaming, featuring a little bit of twin-stick shooting mixed with a top-down action battler that puts you in the role of a movie star gunning down disgusting creatures. Like most of these top-down shooters, you control the action with two virtual sticks. The one on the left controls your direction, while the right-hand stick controls both aiming and firing.

Currently available for iOS and launching October 26 on Windows 8, the game tasks players with rescuing innocent starfish from a variety of marine life by rapidly slashing the screen.

The core concept behind Flow Free is about as simple as you can possibly imagine. Placed upon a grid are a series of differently colored dots, with each dot having a counterpart of the same color. To beat the level, there are three challenges at hand: join dots of the same color, avoid overlapping any of the pipelines as you do this, and make sure that when everything is joined up, not a single square on the grid has been left unfilled.

Now that Apple finally revealed the iPad mini, we can't help but wonder how this new device will impact the tablet gaming scene. Despite being under-powered compared to the fourth generation iPad, this product still packs a punch, thanks to an A5 dual core chip and a screen resolution of 1024×768. The iPad mini as a serious contender, and with this in mind, here's a list of ways it should improve handheld games moving forward.

Consumers who expect their mobile games to showcase visual treats on par with consoles should probably look away now.

ICTA Seminar Series Europe in Barcelona to mark another record
With 130 attendees from over 20 countries the 19th ICTA Seminar Series Europe that took place at Cinesa Diagonal Mar cinema in Barcelona on June 14/15 was the most successful seminar edition ever since its first launch nearly two decades ago.
Thomas Rüttgers, International Vice President of the ICTA and host of the last two editions of this event, stated: "ICTA has experienced an extraordinary development in Europe over the last two years. Our member base has nearly doubled and we are proud that we could now create a truly European network to exchange ideas and discuss recent developments in our industry. What's more, we would like to thank our friends at UNIC and EDCF who again contributed to our program and supported our activities."
Having been welcomed by the ICTA president Joe DeMeo, the Saturday afternoon session opened with a panel discussing open standards for immersive sound which was moderated by Julian Pinn, an industry expert with over 20 years of experience in the global motion picture industry and owner and managing director of Julian Pinn Ltd, which provides technical and strategic consultancy services. His speakers were Jan Petersen (Nordisk Film), Brian Claypool (Barco), Dean Bullock (Dolby) and Gérard Loupias (dts).
The second part of the afternoon looked at the future of the cinema as a special event venue. Alan Roe (Jack Roe USA Inc.) started with an overview of what modern IT cinema infrastructure requires to work effectively. In the following, moderator Till Cussmann and his panelists John Sullivan (The Light Cinemas), Nicolas Hamon (Kinepolis) and Marc Aarts (Barco) gave an insight into the status quo of cinema exhibition from a technical and box office point of view and an outlook on what possibilities modern cinema technology offers for cinemas to remain one step ahead of home entertainment.
On Saturday evening, the ICTA invited the seminar attendees to a cocktail and dinner reception at Mirabé restaurant in the hills of avenida Tibidabo with a spectacular view of the city of Barcelona. On behalf of the ICTA board, Thomas Rüttgers presented this year's industry award to Kim Pedersen for his outstanding achievements in the cinema industry. Kim is an industry veteran with a long track record in the cinema exhibition industry. He became Denmark's youngest cinema owner when he took over a worn down cinema in Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark at the age of 20 and opened the first THX-certified multiplex in the country in 1996. In 2000 he sold his company to Nordisk Film Biographer. Today, he is still very active in the industry and is, amongst others, Chairman of the Danish Cinema Exhibitors' Association and Vice-President of UNIC.
The Sunday seminar session was opened by Jan Runge, CEO of UNIC and followed by a presentation on the topic "Why films are too loud at "7" by John F. Allen (High Performance stereo). John outlined the fact that, although faders are set at "7" when films are recorded and when cinema sound systems are calibrates and the sound levels should match, properly recorded films could consistently play as much as 3 to 7 dB too loud in theatres and explained the problems and proven solutions for this discrepancy.
The next panel session was hosted by the EDCF, Peter Wilson. In the first part of the panel Peter looked into projection standards for 2D and 3D presentation and presented some ideas why absolute brightness and contrast ratio were equally important. In the second part of his presentation, Peter was joined by Anne van Es (Eye Institute) and Holger Krahn (Mikrom) who gave an insight into the current developments and challenges involved in film archiving.
The next panel presentation on alternative content was moderated by Oliver Pasch, from Sony Europe Ltd. Oliver is a globally known and widely recognized expert, especially in the field of projection technology and was joined by the panelists Ioan Allen (Dolby), Tammo Buhren (zweiB) and Chris Mullins (Sony). They outlined the status quo but also trend and tendencies on how to embrace alternative content in a cinema environment. From a practical point of view, Chris presented a brief case study of the recent National Theatre production of "The Warhorse".
The pros and cons of new laser or NSH light sources versus current projection technologies using Xenon bulbs as a light source and what cinema operators can expect in the future were outlined by Tom Hardenburger (Philips) and Andrew Gaweda (Barco) in a panel session moderated by Jens Kayser (NEC).
The Sunday afternoon session was closed by a panel on cinema distribution hosted by Jim Slater, editor-in-chief of Cinema Technology magazine. He and his panelists Paul and Cathy Huis in't Veld (Gofilex), Simon Tandy (Lansat), Fabrice Testa (DSAT Cinema), Keith Schimmenti (CRU) and Rich Phillips (Arts Alliance Media) outlined the pros and cons of the various distribution methods from hard disk drives, via satellite to terrestrial distribution solutions.

The ICTA also held both a Board and Membership meeting during the week where future decisions regarding additional ICTA worldwide events were discussed.
"I'm delighted with the turn out to our annual summer business retreat," noted ICTA President Joe DeMeo. "We specifically targeted our nation's capital this year in order to attract more attendees from our European base which makes up over 30% of our membership and I'm pleased to say that we accomplished this goal." "Having the retreat in DC this year allowed us to leverage our relationships with both NATO and the MPAA" said ICTA Executive Director Robert Sunshine. "To have speakers from both of these organizations speak to our attendees was a wonderful opportunity for them." ICTA Dealer of the Year and Manufacture of the year Awards were presented to Tri State Theatre Supply, Ultra Stereo Labs and the prestigious Ioan Allen award to Beth Figge from Doremi.

And here's couple more for you to check out: Gardening in Small Places, a Fine Gardening Special Interest publication, and Natural Gardening in Small Spaces by Noel Kingsbury (a noted landscape designer). Both have LOTS of inspirational photos :-) I actually prefer designing for a small property -- I find it easier to create a sense of sanctuary and lushness when working within the confines of a small place. And more publications of this type would be helpful to homeowners - in many more urban areas and even some suburban areas - like much of California - properties tend to be very tiny lots with respect to the size of the residence so small garden spaces are pretty much SOP. And then there is the popularity of townhomes with their tiny attached gardens. Sometimes traditional landscaping practices are just not very appropriate for these pocket gardens. The homeowner or designer needs to get creative! |
Small is par for the course here so there is lots of advice about. My own garden is 15 paces from the house to the back wall and 6 wide. The link might be useful. |

Very comfy, they feel spacious enough with socks on-not too tight or too big. Perfect fit I'd say! The whole shoe looks and feels quality, even the laces. I especially like the Doc Martens pull tab and yellow stitching-they are very cool and have had plenty of compliments. If in doubt, buy these.

Bought for Work, able to wear all day no problem... Loving the Doc Martens... Thanks Schuh
- Sarah O'Hare//True to size?Perfect02/10/2014
Very comfortable shoes, perfect fit. They are hard wearing shoes ideal for work.
- Victoria Cridland
While I love Dr M shoes, I did find this particular pair very, very narrow. I don't have exceptionally wide feet, as I never usually have an issue, but I would say to anyone purchasing these to go and try them on instore if you have wider feet :)
- Nicholas Stark
Great shoes as previous reviewer said like plimsolls but with a DM aesthetic, super comfy as well.....

This should probably be posted in outdoor cooking, but I don't have a subscription to that forum. I used to have some wood chips for grilling. They were not for flavor but rather were to help start the charcoal fire. Now i can't find them in the grocery or hardware store. Does anyone know what these are called? |

Article XIV, Maryland Constitution
Maryland Constitution |
Articles |
Declaration of Rights • I • II • III • IV • V • VI • VII • VIII • IX • X • XI • XI-A • XI-B • XI-C • XI-D • XI-E • XI-F • XI-G • XI-H • XI-I • XII • XIII • XIV • XV • XVI • XVII • XVIII • XIX |
First, constitutional amendment can be accomplished via a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. Placing such a proposed amendment on the ballot must be approved by a 60% vote of each chamber of the Maryland State Legislature.
Second, the constitution can be amended via a constitutional convention.
- Section 2 of Article 14 says that an automatic ballot referral to ask the voters of the state whether they wish to convene a statewide constitutional convention must be placed on the statewide ballot every twenty years starting in 1970.
Article XIV allows for the possibility that some proposed constitutional amendments may apply to only one county (or the City of Baltimore, which is governed independently of a county structure). In this case, Article XIV says that in order to become part of the constitution, the proposed amendment must be approved by a majority vote not just statewide, but specifically in the county (or Baltimore) to which it exclusively applies.
Section 1
Text of Section 1:
The General Assembly may propose Amendments to this Constitution; provided that each Amendment shall be embraced in a separate bill, embodying the Article or Section, as the same will stand when amended and passed by three-fifths of all the members elected to each of the two Houses, by yeas and nays, to be entered on the Journals with the proposed Amendment. The requirement in this section that an amendment proposed by the General Assembly shall be embraced in a separate bill shall not be construed or applied to prevent the General Assembly from (1) proposing in one bill a series of amendments to the Constitution of Maryland for the general purpose of removing or correcting constitutional provisions which are obsolete, inaccurate, invalid, unconstitutional, or duplicative; or (2) embodying in a single Constitutional amendment one or more Articles of the Constitution so long as that Constitutional amendment embraces only a single subject. The bill or bills proposing amendment or amendments shall be publicized, either by publishing, by order of the Governor, in at least two newspapers, in each County, where so many may be published, and where not more than one may be published, then in that newspaper, and in three newspapers published in the City of Baltimore, once a week for four weeks, or as otherwise ordered by the Governor in a manner provided by law, immediately preceding the next ensuing general election, at which the proposed amendment or amendments shall be submitted, in a form to be prescribed by the General Assembly, to the qualified voters of the State for adoption or rejection. The votes cast for and against said proposed amendment or amendments, severally, shall be returned to the Governor, in the manner prescribed in other cases, and if it shall appear to the Governor that a majority of the votes cast at said election on said amendment or amendments, severally, were cast in favor thereof, the Governor shall, by his proclamation, declare the said amendment or amendments having received said majority of votes, to have been adopted by the people of Maryland as part of the Constitution thereof, and thenceforth said amendment or amendments shall be part of the said Constitution. If the General Assembly determines that a proposed Constitutional amendment affects only one county or the City of Baltimore, the proposed amendment shall be part of the Constitution if it receives a majority of the votes cast in the State and in the affected county or City of Baltimore, as the case may be. When two or more amendments shall be submitted to the voters of this State at the same election, they shall be so submitted as that each amendment shall be voted on separately.[1] |
- Amended with the approval of Chapter 476, Acts of 1943, on November 7, 1944.
- Amended with the approval of Chapter 367, Acts of 1972, on November 7, 1972.
- Amended with the approval of Chapter 679, Acts of 1977, and Chapter 975, Acts of 1978, on November 7, 1978.
Section 1A
Text of Section 1A:
A proposed Constitutional amendment which, by provisions that are of limited duration, provides for a period of transition, or a unique schedule under which the terms of the amendment are to become effective, shall set forth those provisions in the amendment as a section or sections of a separate article, to be known as "provisions of limited duration," and state the date upon which or the circumstances under which those provisions shall expire. If the Constitutional amendment is adopted, those provisions of limited duration shall have the same force and effect as any other part of the Constitution, except that they shall remain a part of the Constitution only so long as their terms require. Each new section of the article known as "provisions of limited duration" shall refer to the title and section of the other article of the Constitution of which it, temporarily, is a part.[1] |
- Amended with the approval of Chapter 680, Acts of 1977, on November 7, 1978.
Section 2
Text of Section 2:
It shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide by Law for taking, at the general election to be held in the year nineteen hundred and seventy, and every twenty years thereafter, the sense of the People in regard to calling a Convention for altering this Constitution; and if a majority of voters at such election or elections shall vote for a Convention, the General Assembly, at its next session, shall provide by Law for the assembling of such convention, and for the election of Delegates thereto. Each County, and Legislative District of the City of Baltimore, shall have in such Convention a number of Delegates equal to its representation in both Houses at the time at which the Convention is called. But any Constitution, or change, or amendment of the existing Constitution, which may be adopted by such Convention, shall be submitted to the voters of this State, and shall have no effect unless the same shall have been adopted by a majority of the voters voting thereon.[1] |
- Amended with the approval of Chapter 99, Acts of 1956, on November 6, 1956.

Panoramic view of the El Roble project site in Columbia. Atico Mining's exploration program for El Roble is focused on discovering several million tonnes of high grade copper – gold ore.
In the high-stakes game of mineral exploration, companies that can test their model at an operating mine before venturing into the surrounding district are at a distinct advantage. It's an approach that is paying off for Vancouver-based Atico Mining as the junior searches for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits near the El Roble copper-gold mine in Colombia.
"Having access to the mine workings helps us understand the geological and structural controls on mineralization," says Atico CEO Fernando Ganoza, "and that in turn is helping us find additional resources."
Atico uses the data collected from ongoing brownfields exploration combined with historical data to create 3D models using Geosoft's Target and Geochemistry for ArcGIS. The models help guide exploration below the current workings and within the prospective host horizon that extends along strike from the mine.
"We input all of the geophysical and geochemical data into ArcGIS and then, based on the understanding of the geology, set parameters in the software," explains Senior Exploration Manager Joseph Salas. "That's how we generate targets."
In early 2011, Atico signed a deal to earn a 90% interest in El Roble in return for paying its Colombian owners US$2.25 million in cash over two years plus a lump-sum payment of US$14 million due in January 2014. Over a production history of roughly 22 years, the underground mine has turned out 1.5 million tonnes grading an average of 2.5% copper and 2.5 grams gold per tonne.
Field geology discussion.
"Having access to the mine workings helps us understand the geological and structural controls on mineralization and that in turn is helping us find additional resources."
- Fernando Ganoza
Although most of the historical resource, consisting of several VMS lenses, has been mined, Atico has found more ore at depth. These new targets were established by mapping the geology both at surface (1:5,000 and 1:10,000 scale) and underground (1:250 scale), following structural controls and mineral zoning patterns typical of VMS deposits.
Geophysics and Geochemistry Zero in on Targets
On of the most significant conclusions from the surface mapping program is that the mineralized contact between basaltic volcanic rocks and black and grey cherts extends for 10 km across the El Roble concessions. Follow-up prospecting has confirmed that resistivity lows and chargeability highs can be used as indicators of the favourable chert horizon.
However, additional geophysical tools were needed to distinguish between conductive graphite in the chert and VMS mineralization. So Atico launched a ground magnetic orientation survey around the mine and reprocessed about 40 line-km of ground magnetic data collected in the mid-1980s by Nittetsu Mining, a former joint-venture partner on the property. The reprocessed magnetic map shows a weak magnetic anomaly over the El Roble mine and four stronger magnetic anomalies to the north.
In the air, Atico ran a 500-km versatile time-domain electromagnetic survey to cover the trend with lines every 100 m and a spacing of 50 m between stations. (Time-domain EM surveys are often effective in pinpointing VMS mineralization above a depth of 200 m.) A follow-up ground gravity survey further refined drill targets by identifying several anomalies that could represent pockets of VMS mineralization.
El Roble – Geology Section 20 South.
Although drilling along the trend has yielded little of interest so far, underground drilling is showing that a gold-silver halo in the black chert is a significant geochemical indicator that can be used for both brownfield and greenfield exploration. Results from the northern end of the operating mine include 119 m of 6.9% copper and 6.3 grams gold per tonne.
The host rocks at El Roble are part of the Cretaceous Cañasgordas Group, which can be traced for more than 800 km along the western cordillera of Colombia. Locally, mafic volcanic rocks include pillow basalts, tuffs, hyaloclastites, and agglomerates, while pelagic sedimentary rocks consist of chert, siltstone, and minor limestone.
The VMS mineralization is dominantly pyrite and chalcopyrite, mostly fine-gained and showing little internal structure or banding. Underground drilling between the 2,000- and 1,980-metre levels has identified stockwork mineralization consisting of chalcopyrite with subordinate pyrite in massive veins and patches in a gangue of stockwork quartz and chlorite veins.
Since VMS deposits tend to occur in clusters and the mined-out zones at El Roble represent only about half of what an average VMS cluster would yield, there's a good chance Atico will find more ore along the 10-km trend as it uses information from the mine to seek out economic mineralization.

One aspect of the Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time that seems to be perennially confusing to people is the fact that any movie is a possible nominee. Taste is subjective, and one man's Trash Humpers is another man's National Treasure. If someone nominates a movie that you like and you are upset about it because you don't think it is a bad movie and in fact you think it is a good movie, instead of watching the houses flip upside down and back again because your head fell off and is rolling in the sewer, why not just give it a second and see what happens. Case in point: this week's nominee, Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York. After months of repeated nominations, today is the big day in which we talk about it. For many people who did not nominate this movie because they actually liked it, the very existence of its nomination seemed like some kind of crime. To those people I say YOU are the one who goes to jail and the crime is IMPATIENCE and NOT UNDERSTANDING THE RULES (back to back sentences), which I have just clarified above. Because as you will find, although we are discussing Synecdoche, New York in the Hunt for the Worst Movie today, it would appear that the trail has gone cold (good metaphor) because in fact this is not the worst movie. In fact it's a very good movie. It might even be a great one. So:
Synecdoche, New York is about a middle-aged theater director named Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who lives with his wife, Catherine Keener, and their daughter, Olive. Everyone seems kind of miserable, which is pretty clearly a theme of the movie. Caden is directing OUR generation's Death of a Salesman and visiting various doctors for a bunch of encroaching illnesses as his aging body begins the slow but inevitable process of falling apart. When she has an art show of her tiny paintings in Germany, Catherine Keener uses it as an opportunity to initiate a trial separation from Caden, and takes Olive with her. This, of course, throws Caden into an even sharper spiral of despair. Then he wins a MacArthur Genius Grant, which he wants to use to create his masterwork: a piece of theater that captures the immensity of life through its infinite details. In the meantime, he has an affair with Samantha Morton. And then he marries Michelle Williams and has a new baby with her. The rest of the movie is a nesting doll of self-references as Caden, perpetually dissatisfied with his production and always pushing to go "deeper" into its "truth" hires actors to play all of the characters we have met throughout the film and then actors to play those actors until his hanger is filled with its own New York City and inside that New York City is another hanger filled with another New York city and actors playing actors playing actors into infinity.
Finally, Caden dies. The end.
This is actually the second time I watched Synecdoche, New York and I will readily admit that I didn't love it the first time. The movie is aggressively grim and sometimes feels almost Student Film-ish in its obsession with "depression" and "sadness." You could imagine Charlie Kaufman writing parts of the script in Sharpie on his jeans. But this second viewing, especially knowing what I was in for, was much better. Really rewarding, actually. What a good movie! It has so many interesting things to say about THE WAY WE LIVE OUR LIVES, which, incidentally, is NOT THAT EASY OF A THING TO SAY INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT. We are all so familiar with our ideas and even pretty familiar with other people's ideas about how that all works, and in a lot of ways it's almost all anyone ever talks about, so to talk about it in a new way and one that is compelling and smart and has something to add to the discussion is worth a look-see.
For example: Caden is constantly visiting doctors and the decrepitude of his body is gruesomely on display at all times (Kaufman has talked in interviews about the role of illness in the movie's origins) and yet none of the things that he thinks are going to kill him ever do. They hardly even effect his ability to work, or fall in weird, agonizing love with different women. He seems to live in perpetual fear of death and failure–as do we all?–to the point where the things that matter to him in his life are constantly slipping through his fingers, what with his eyes being focused on some deep dark shadow far out on the horizon. He is so constantly in search of some kind of artistic truth that he can never actualize his art, and yet by the time he is "done," the play is much more real than anything he's ever (avoided having to have) experienced. It takes that age old coffee mug slogan about life being what happens while you are busy making other plans to an awful, diseased, tear-stained extreme. There is also a nice thematic element throughout the movie about wishing someone would just tell you what to fucking DO, which I think is a desperate feeling that many people can relate to, and particularly complicated when put into the heart of a theater director since telling people what to do is kind of his whole thing.
On top of this, though, is the much less dramatic but no less successful way in which tiny moments (see for example, the first 15 minutes of the movie which is just straight-up domestic boredom) are rendered truthfully and realistically. These are actual people (well, no they're not, but almost!) before they fall down the simulacrum depression hole. Tiny genuine moments, of which this movie has plenty, are just as impressive and meaninfful as large-scale absurdist abstractions (of which this movie has even more).
So, why do people think that this is the Worst Movie of All Time? It's clearly not. But obviously people's dislike of it goes beyond a simple dislike and into something deeper. The best I can manage is what I mentioned earlier about some of the film's focus on "existential crisis" feeling simplistic and pushy. Ultimately, I think the movie has a lot more to say, but maybe people get stuck on that. Also, there is plenty of Charlie Kaufman-esque absurdity that does, at times, feel unhinged from any narrative purpose. Even after the second viewing, I'm still not sure why Samantha Morton's house was always on fire? But I'm sure (or at least I hope) that Charlie Kaufman had some kind of intended but heavily coded meaning behind this choice. That is what separates him from another writer/director, who would include something like this simply because he thought it "looked cool" (see: Jerusha Hess, Zach Braff). Specifically because Kaufman feels more than capable and thoughtful about what he is doing, this seems admissable and forgivable at the very least, and probably worth more thought and decoding.
And I'm not sure to what extent this is worth mentioning, but I'm by no means the world's biggest Charlie Kaufman fan. I do think that Adaptation is 100% incredible and not only a really really great movie and a possible CLASSIC if time will allow it, but also one of the better ruminations on WRITING ever ruminated. But Human Nature is a flop. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is very good but slightly overrated. And (wait for it) I did not like Being John Malkovich. I don't know, I just didn't like it, what are you going to do. I didn't like it the first time I saw it in the theater (ladies), so I saw it a few more times to try and like it more, and I didn't. Life goes on. The point that I'm trying to make is that no matter what, Charlie Kaufman will always get credit for trying things that are narratively complex and different, but he has a wildly inconsistent batting record (sports) and he is certainly as prone as anyone else to creative missteps.
I just don't think this is one of them. It's a good movie! It's certainly a worthwhile movie. You should see it. See it two times!
Next week: Greenberg. As always, please leave your suggestions in the comments or in an email. And if you haven't done so already, please consult the Official Rules.

The film is SO obscure and so self-referential that I think a good case could be made for it being a "worst" film.
However, I thought this film was one of the 10 best films of the last 10 years. (Roger Ebert says it's the best, period: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/12/the_best_films_of_the_decade.html ). After my first viewing I thought the film was too solipsistic and maddeningly obtuse, but it has grown tremendously in my estimation.
Looking over the Ebert list…I'd like to nominate two movies (that somehow made his list…)
Me You and Everyone We Know and Juno. Honest to Blog.
this post should make you happy, since it bases juno and references me and you: http://videogum.com/40181/the_one_year_anniversary_of_th/everyones-a-critic/
So Phyllip Seymour Hoffman smanged Catherine Keener Samantha Morton and Michelle Williams and we are supposed to pity him?
Definitely the best, not least because (SPOILER ALERT) he dead the whole time. He dies in the first shot. Movie over!
And by the way Being John Malkovich is Charlie Kaufmans only good movie. That is the final word on that subject. Over and out.
Picture PSH doing it (which you probably can if you've seen Happiness) and then you will understand.
This skit is funny because it seems to touch on an truth about PSH that we all sense: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko_8eeFgGy0

Identifying Barriers to Care for Older Adults with Substance Use Disorders and Cognitive Impairments

ABSTRACT: The authors sought to validate the diagnostic criteria for alcohol-related dementia. The sample consisted of veterans consecutively admitted to a 240-bed VA Nursing Home Care Unit. Baseline and follow-up assessments included measures of cognition and functioning. The diagnosis and type of dementia was determined within 2 months of admission by a geropsychiatrist using patient interviews, chart review, and information from a structured collateral interview. Residents were followed for up to 2 years. Data were collected on 192 of the residents, of whom, 158 (82%) were diagnosed with some form of dementia. Alcohol-related dementia (ARD) was diagnosed in 16 residents (10.1%), probable Alzheimer dementia (AD), in 26 (16.5%); vascular dementia (VD), in 46 (29.1); and mixed or dementia of undetermined origin, in 70 (44.3%). Those with ARD were less cognitively impaired and were more often unmarried. Residents with ARD demonstrated a stabilization of both cognition and functional status, whereas those with AD and VD showed a general decline in both cognition and functional status. These results serve to validate the diagnostic criteria for ARD and suggest that abstinence may be of clinical value in treating patients with dementia and alcohol dependence. Further research needs to be conducted to confirm the value of abstinence.American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry 07/2003; 11(4):441-7. · 3.52 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Because vascular disease is associated with cognitive impairment and dementia, we hypothesised that alcohol consumption might also affect the risk of dementia. We examined the relation between alcohol consumption and risk of dementia in individuals taking part in the Rotterdam Study--a prospective population-based study of 7983 individuals aged 55 years and older. We studied all participants who did not have dementia at baseline (1990-93) and who had complete data on alcohol consumption (n=5395). Through follow-up examinations in 1993-94 and 1997-99 and an extensive monitoring system, we obtained nearly complete follow-up (99.7%) until the end of 1999. We used proportional hazards regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, education, smoking, and body-mass index, to compare the risk of developing dementia between individuals who regularly consumed alcohol and individuals who did not consume alcohol. The average follow-up was 6.0 years. During this period, 197 individuals developed dementia (146 Alzheimer's disease, 29 vascular dementia, 22 other dementia). The median alcohol consumption was 0.29 drinks per day. Light-to-moderate drinking (one to three drinks per day) was significantly associated with a lower risk of any dementia (hazard ratio 0.58 [95% CI 0.38-0.90]) and vascular dementia (hazard ratio 0.29 [0.09-0.93]). We found no evidence that the relation between alcohol and dementia varied by type of alcoholic beverage. These findings suggest that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a reduced risk of dementia in individuals aged 55 years or older. The effect seems to be unchanged by the source of alcohol.The Lancet 02/2002; 359(9303):281-6. · 39.21 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Alcohol use among older adults (65+) is thought to be one of the fastest growing health problems in the country. Although proper assessment and diagnosis is crucial in addressing problem drinking in this population, research suggests that physicians are not adequately screening their older adult patients for alcohol use. The present study examined the relationship between family physicians' attitudes and perceptions and their screening prevalence with their new and existing older adult patients collected and analyzed in 2007. Results indicated that physicians in the study reported screening 73% of their new patients on intake and 44% of their existing patients. Family physicians with more positive perceptions of their alcohol-management skills with older adults performed more screening with their new and existing older adult patients. Year of medical school graduation was related to screening but only with new patients.Journal of Applied Gerontology 01/2011; 30(2):226-240. · 0.97 Impact Factor

On Friday Subramanian Swamy, the Janata Party president stirred the Supreme Court contrary to a Delhi High Court order refusing his appeal for a guidance to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to endow him permit for put on trial Communications Minister A. Raja in the suspected Rs. 60,000-crore 2G spectrum dodge.
In his extraordinary leave appeal, Dr. Swamy expressed that it cropped up due to the letdown of the Prime Minister who until now as it is proposed to impeach for fraud any affiliate of the Union Council of Ministers, is to endow preceding permit to impeach Mr. Raja.
Just about two years had gone ever since he initially put on to the Prime Minister. Further the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India; the Central Vigilance Commissioner; and the Central Bureau of Investigation all have discovered that this is a prima facie issue of sleaze crafted out.
In spite of everything the Prime Minister rejected to make a decision on his application on the appeal that the matter is still under inquiry.
Dr. Swamy further added that the High Court had made a mistake in rejecting his petition.
Whether or not the permitting authority had guided a investigation by the CBI or any other considering agency and whether an inquiry is in advancement or not, it might not be permitted for the sanctioning power to turn down the sanction or not to take action on the application.

.- A standoff between protestors and police at a Redemptorist monastery in Hanoi continued yesterday as the state-owned media accused the Catholic demonstrators of occupying state-owned land, gathering and praying illegally in public areas, illegally erecting crucifixes and icons of the Virgin Mary, and disturbing public order.
Father J.B. An Dang informed CNA that the New Hanoi newspaper also accused the protestors of taking advantage of religious freedom to stir up protests against the government.
Vietnamese Catholics have sought the return of property confiscated by the government and have been demonstrating at the Redemptorist monastery since January, 2008.
The hostile media coverage has increased fears among the demonstrators that a police crackdown is imminent.
The local government has ordered the Redemptorist superior in Hanoi, Father Vu Khoi Phung, to present himself to the People's Committee of Dong Da District to face charges that the Redemptorists have been flaunting the committee's ultimatum to halt the demonstrations and sit-ins before noon last Monday.
At the time of the deadline, hundreds of police came to the site of the protests, but more and more people joined the Redemptorists and their parishioners.
Hundreds of protestors are presently camped at the site. Demonstrators attend Mass each morning and evening, where plain clothed and uniformed police officers reportedly photograph and videotape them in what is seen as an intimidation tactic.
Some Westerners have also visited the site to show solidarity with the protesters.

I have a model 1042 riding mower. The steering will turn to the right, but will not turn to the left. When I try to turn it when its off, it still will turn to the right, however, when I try to turn it to the left, I get a clicking sound. Anyone else had this issue? |
Follow-Up Postings:
you prolly have either a steering sector issue or steering linkage problem... or a worn steering shaft lower bushing. Suggest getting the full model # and serial # off the ID plate/decal in the cavity under the tilting seat, do a google search for "MTD manual archives", enter required data, d/l free parts lists with diagrams and other relevant documents that will help you to understand involved components. You will need to remove the mower deck to gain access to the chassis underside where the steering gear sector is located.. and you will need an assistant to help determine worn components causing problems that need replacement. |

Sunday, December 13
Jacksonville Municipal Stadium
Attendance: 60,457
Jacksonville, FL (Sports Network) - Ricky Williams rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries, and Miami upended Jacksonville, 14-10, to further muddle the AFC playoff picture.
The Jaguars (7-6) had a chance to extend their wild card lead with a win, but the Dolphins (7-6) controlled the time of possession and outgained their Sunshine State foe, 354-217, to thrust themselves into the postseason race.
"We know we're in a must win-out situation. We know we still have hope. This team has shown faith in one another all year, we've worked hard and we will continue to do that," Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio said. "We're a little disappointed we didn't pull this thing out. We gave ourselves a lot of chances...We just fell short."
Chad Henne, coming off a career game in a win over New England last week, completed 21-of-29 attempts for 220 yards, 110 of which went to Greg Camarillo, who ended with seven catches.
Henne also rushed for a score and threw an interception, one of three turnovers Miami overcame to secure its fourth win in five games.
The Dolphins moved to 6-0 in December under head coach Tony Sparano.
Maurice Jones-Drew had Jacksonville's lone touchdown but was bottled up for 59 yards on 18 carries, while almost half of David Garrard's 139 yards came on a 63-yard hookup with Torry Holt that set up a Josh Scobee 25-yard field goal.
That kick occurred with 4:55 left in the third quarter and cut Jacksonville's deficit to 14-10.
After trading punts, a promising Miami drive was thwarted when Williams lost a fumble in Jaguars territory.
Another exchange of fruitless possessions gave the hosts the ball back with 11:33 remaining, but Garrard threw an incomplete pass on 4th-and-3 from the Miami 45. The Jags got the ball right back when Derek Cox picked off Henne near midfield but failed to do anything with the ball.
Miami killed nearly three minutes of clock before punting away, and once more the Jags failed to produce a first down, as Garrard was brought down on 4th- and-3 from the Miami 46 with 1:26 remaining.
Three straight Miami runs prior to a punt spoiled the Jaguars' final two timeouts, and a sack of Garrard on the final play at his own 17 sealed the Dolphins' win.
"We started really well in the first half, and in the second half we were completing some passes but were hurting ourselves," Henne said. "We didn't finish the way we wanted to, but you have to [take] your hats off to our defense because they carried us."
The Dolphins held the ball for nearly seven minutes during a lengthy 13-play, 67-yard drive in the first quarter that resulted in the game's first score.
The march was extended when an inside handoff to Lousaka Polite gained four yards on 4th-and-1 at the Jacksonville 18. Williams, who twice fumbled out of bounds on the drive, capped it by going in from a yard out at the 2:33 mark.
Miami embarked on a similar drive in the second quarter, as Henne took it in himself on a bootleg from the one to finish off a 13-play, 74-yard excursion.
Jacksonville, which went three-and-out on its first two possessions, responded with an extended drive of their own, as Jones-Drew barreled in from the one three plays after a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone.
The TD came with 2:32 remaining in the half, and it remained 14-7 thanks to Davone Bess' lost fumble in Jacksonville territory just before the break.
Dan Carpenter had a chance to make it a 10-point game midway through the third, but his 38-yard field goal attempt bounced wide right off the upright.

EE launches latest Gold Spot ad
EE, the network provider, has unveiled the latest instalment in its Gold Spot ad campaign, based on five of the most viral online videos that have been given a "4G makeover".
EE: launches latest Gold Spot
Among the featured videos in the campaign, which carries the strapline 'The Internet Made More Epic by 4GEE", are "goats screaming like humans" and "keyboard cat".
The ads, by Saatchi & Saatchi London, seek to highlight the enhanced experience of watching content on mobiles using 4G by recreating famous internet virals and bringing a cinematic quality to them.
In "goats screaming like humans", a nervous man arrives at a darkened house and suspense is built up until the final scene when he confronts the eponymous screaming goat.
Saatchi & Saatchi London's Rob Potts and Paul Silburn were the copywriters on the campaign and Andy Jex was the art director. The ad was directed by Jeff Labbe through Sonny. Media buying for the campaign was by MEC.
Spencer McHugh, the director of brand at EE, said: "We know 4G makes the internet better. EE brings this to life in our new Gold Spot campaign by recreating some of the most famous virals of the last decade with a dramatic filmic makeover.
"Each of the original clips captivated a global audience and our aim is to entertain cinema-goers by rekindling their love of these internet hits whilst reminding them that content is better viewed on the go over our superfast network."

Today I helped my brother in-law clean out his recently deceased fathers house. While rummaging through the basement, I find a black garbage bag stuffed in the rafters. As I start to remove the bag from the rafters, I can instantly feel that inside the bag is at the very least a rifle stock. I dump the contents out on the floor and discover a Chinese SKS paratrooper, along with a bunch of spare parts. My brother in-law says he wants nothing to do with it and tells me "its yours if you want it"... didnt have to tell me twice.
