My mom has a relatively new TV in her upstairs bedroom. She recently had a new digital cable installed w/cable box so that she can watch her cable TV movies upstairs.
Trouble is, the remote that came with the cable box isn't programmed to work with her TV. So, she needs to first turn on the TV, then the box (or the other way around, I'm not sure). Then, at that point, she cannot get past the on-demand channel which comes up first every time. She's called Charter (her cable service) and very nice, helpful people try to talk her through it every time, but either their suggestions don't fix it or she doesn't accurately follow them. Needless to say, this is more than frustrating to her. New technology brings us a bazillion channels and brilliant clarity, but with a price. I suggested that she ask Charter to have someone go to the house to program it for her. It seems that should have been done in the first place, when the box was delivered and connected, not just leave her with it to do herself. Are there any other options? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cable people should have programmed the remote to work with her TV when they installed the new box. If you have the cable box owner's manual with remote codes in it, you can program it yourself. If you don't have the manual, you may be able to locate it on the internet. If neither of these possible solutions are workable, the cable people will have to come back and program it for her. |
Your mom had previously used a similar cable system setup downstairs with no remote problems? Do the up channel and down channel buttons on the cable box work with her TV? Was the cable box remote able to select channels when it was first installed? Can her old TV remote control still control the TV? Which cable remote control (Scientific Atlanta?) button lights up when she selects a channel by pointing the cable remote at the cable box? It should be CBL. If it isn't CBL lighting up, press CBL and then the channel number. Does CBL light up again? Does the channel change? On some combinations of TVs and cable boxes, when you are trying to transfer TV remote control functions to the cable box remote control (if that is what is being attempted here) it may take several minutes or more for the programming to begin. The directions are sometimes very poorly explained but the thing to remember is that the first blinks you get right away during this particular process mean nothing. The blinks that mean success usually take a lot longer to show up. |

Op says "... a new digital cable installed w/cable box ... " I have had cable for 16 years in three states and never needed a cable box and don't quite understand the concept. What does a cable box do? I have always had the cable come into a VCR or DVD. Do these function as a cable box? |

A cable box gives you digital channels or premium stations not normally given by basic analog cable. A hi-def digital cable box gives one hi definition picture quality with a hi-def tv. Programming the remote is typically straight forward provided you have the remote's manual and your tv is relatively new . As a side note most cable providers use contract workers for installation and their mandate seems to be in and out of the house as fast as possible.... |

Karimnagar MP Ponnam Prabhakar has alleged that Seemandhra leaders are financing and provoking the Gorkhaland issue only to obstruct the formation of a separate Telangana.
Talking to newsmen here on Sunday, he charged the Seemandhra leaders with aiding and abetting the Gorkhaland issue to stall statehood for Telangana. But, the people of Gorkhaland are convinced with the special package announced by the government and they will not cause any obstruction for the formation of a separate Telangana, he maintained.
He said that the truth about Seemandhra leaders funding the Gorkhaland issue will be unravelled if the government taps their phones. He also asked the intelligence agencies to focus on the functioning of Seemandhra leaders and check their ulterior motives. He said that he would write to AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh about the dubious acts of Seemandhra leaders and their all out efforts to stall the formation of a separate Telangana.
Condemning the remarks made by Rayalaseema protagonist Byreddy Rajashekhar Reddy that AICC president Sonia Gandhi was acting as "shurpanaka" and he would chop off her nose and ears, he questioned why Rayalaseema Congress leaders such as T.G. Venkatesh, Shailajanath and others were not condemning the remarks made against the party president. "If the Seemandhra leaders do not have the guts to condemn the remarks made by Byreddy Rajashekhar Reddy, we, the Telangana people, will chop off the nose and ears of Byreddy," he remarked. Reiterating that the Telangana people were not asking for the merger of Rayalaseema districts with Telangana, he said that some Rayalaseema Congress leaders and MIM leaders favoured the opinion of Rayala-Telangana State. But we don't want any Rayala-Telangana State, he pointed out.

TopGear mag launches interactive iPad app
BBC Worldwide's TopGear Magazine has launched an interactive iPad edition, featuring striking imagery, video and reams of car stats, as well as comment from the brand's TV hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.
TopGear mag launches interactive iPad app
The monthly app has been developed by Engine Creative for BBC Worldwide's licensing partner Immediate Media, and costs £2.99 per issue.
The latest incarnation of the 19 year old magazine includes HD videos and galleries, an interactive content wheel which helps users navigate the latest TopGear news, social media links, exclusive offers and a buyers' guide for every new car available.
At its launch last night, Charlie Turner, editor-in-chief of TopGear Magazine, called the app a "huge milestone", but stressed, "the launch is just the beginning of a very long journey for Top Gear, the interactivity and features on this app will grow exponentially over time."
Engine Creative used the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite platform to design the app, and the agency's strategic director Andy Wise, said the challenge was "how to squeeze so much great content into the iPad edition?" The styling of the monthly magazine has also evolved with the app and its touchscreen-friendly design.
Top Gear Magazine used to average a monthly circulation of around 200,000 just three years ago, but since then its print circulaiton has tumbled to 155,017 in the first half 2012, down nearly 20% year on year.
The magazine remains the UK's most popular motoring title, and one of the most successful magazine brands in the world, with 30 licensed editions available in 68 territories.

PETA Denounces SeaWorld Verbally, But Invests Monetarily?
by Ron CallariIt's seems incredulous that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) -- long respected as a champion for the rights of animals -- could reverse its position on SeaWorld
within the same year. Yet that appears to be the case, much to the dismay
of animal lovers the world-over, including one multi-award winning
actress and singer.
Used Soviet Dog Spacesuit Going Up For Auction

Mama Cat Ends Up In Prickly Situation
by Laurie Kay OlsonTwo years ago one very loving ginger mama cat found her litter of one kitten expanded to five with the addition of four hedgehogs. With plenty of milk to share the hedgehogs had found a warm, furry loving mommy to care for them after the untimely death of their own mother. It must have been a rather prickly situation -- at least at first.
Spanish Resort Resorts To Hiring A Dog As A Lifeguard
by Laurie Kay OlsonA tourist beach in San Pedro del Pinatar has taken the step of being the first place in Spain to add a dog to its list of employees as a lifeguard. The Newfoundland, named Bruno, comes from a long line of dogs bred for water rescues and now he is living up to this glorious heritage. Newfoundlands have a natural swimming ability supported by their webbed feet and water-resistant coats.
Man Trains His Dogs To Fetch Trashed Plastic Bottles For Recycling
by Creature FeaturesSo your dog fetches sticks, frisbees and tennis balls... sure, it's fun but what do YOU get out of it? One clever pet owner from Chongqing, China trained his two dogs to seek out and fetch trashed plastic bottles, which he then turns in for recycling to the tune of around $160 annually. That'll buy a lot of frisbees.
Swan Selfie: A Cautionary Tale
by Laurie Kay OlsonThe whole selfie craze is getting out of control. Even some animals have taken selfies whether they knew they were doing it or not. One man can tell you that taking a selfie can come with a price -- especially if the animal you are taking your selfie with is an animal who doesn't want its picture taken. After all, in his case, it really left a mark. Even then it hasn't been the "swan song" for the selfie.
Why Our Canine Domesticus Look So Much Like Us?
by Ron CallariHow many times have you looked at someone's dog and said, "my God, that pooch looks just like its master?"
You might have pondered yourself that being compared visually to your
furry pals might have had something to do with why we call them "man's
best friend." Others might take offense at the similarities,
particularly if we're talking about a "bulldog" or the derogatory term
"bitch" that's been associated. . .
Dusty, The Klepto Kitty, Is A One-Cat Crime Wave
by Laurie Kay OlsonDusty, the cat, is the most famous cat burglar ever to strike in San Mateo, California.

The local kids have been learning the hard way not to leave anything outside overnight.
Lions And Tigers And Bears And -- Jeans? -- Oh My!
by Laurie Kay OlsonOne of the most certain ways to make sure that you have the coolest jeans in town has long been making sure that your pair was heavily distressed and the more ripped the better. It used to take weeks and months of heavy wear to get them right where we wanted them to be. Now you can buy them pre-torn, but what if you could get jeans where every rip and tear was made by a lion, or tiger, or bear -- oh, my!
Stuck Dog Is A "Chip" Off The Old Cinder Block
by Laurie Kay OlsonThere are times when dogs are really smart. And then there are times when dogs are, well, not so much. Take the case of a little dachshund in Phoenix, Arizona, who got himself stuck in a decorative cinder block in a wall last month. He had been in the middle of a daring nighttime escape attempt when everything went terribly wrong.

Thank you for this opportunity to share our thoughts with you regarding this matter:
My husband, Joel Council, was in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and nearly lost his life that day. That day forever changed our lives, as it did for so many. He worked on the 22nd floor as a fitness consultant for a major health club and lost all his clients to this tragedy.
As he made his way out of the burning building, he said many jumped out of the building, holding hands and screaming for their lives. He even fell over dead bodies as he was running.

(Note: This is a time that the Oregon Athletic Dept. is concerned about too much disclosure in reports given to the public over the internet. Note that I do NOT speak of injuries in my report, (I leave that in the good hands of Rob Moseley of the R-G who gets it straight from Chip) nor do I talk about the  particular formation on offense this last week, that while surprising…I'm glad to see.  What is it? Not telling. Over the last dozen years of writing these reports I've done three or four each spring and fall which would bring the total to somewhere between SEVENTY to NINETY of these reports written without a single problem of exposure of sensitive information. The following will continue in that tradition…)
Can you believe the summers in Oregon? We had 82 degrees today, but a 15 mph breeze which brought it down to the high sixties-low seventies. We do NOT have the oppressive humidity of the south, in fact none at all. We do not have the singed, dry baked trees and vegetation of the SoCal, Arizona, and Texas, but have the lush green trees, and vegetation that matches the comfortable environment the players are performing in. There no better place for summer workouts than Eugene Oregon….and the Florida, Texas, and Arizona players on our squad have got to be thankful for the decision they made to play for a powerful team in such a temperate climate. (It's nice on the fans too) Today was a joy for August……..
There are some really great reports about this practice on many boards, and while I did not chart the practice, and some of my interpretations may not be precise….I will add my own brand of entertainment to it. Today I saw some wondrous things that make me begin to rethink some of my basic original assumptions about this team.  Grab a cup of Java or a cool tall one and indulge your inner duck-child who craves the "good-stuff" as I do. This is shaping up to be one of the more unique teams I've ever seen assembled on the practice fields at our Mighty Oregon.
Stats or not…it seemed to me that Costa moved the offense better today, primarily at crunch times. He throws that nice zippy pass that is fast and spiral, but not too much and is a very catchable ball. He can throw over the field well, and the skinny post pattern to Brandon Williams for 20 yards was a beauty. Yep…it's "Crow-Time" as I wrote that I was largely unimpressed with Mr. Williams the other day, but today he made David Paulson seem invisible. While Nate was lighting up the middle of the field….it made it tough for the defense to cover the sidelines as well. By over-committing to the middle, (as they must) it left a safety valve on the sidelines that Costa punished the defense with all day. He has a flair for looking downfield first…and making it obvious to the defense that if they don't cover deep and middle that he will burn them—and then he passes to a wide open WR in the flat for an easy 8-10 yards. Damn that's good Quarter-backing!
More Crow for my dinner tonight as the Wide Receivers that I have been so critical of over the last two years…are playing like the savvy veterans that they are. Body language is something I watch carefully now, while brushing past it in my youth. Now I watch how they carry themselves during the play, after the play, and on the sidelines. I CAN tell who the backups are on the sidelines without looking at the numbers, but simply reading the body language. (One of the few benefits of being an old fart) I was talking to one moderator of a large Football board who pointed out the body language of Eddie Pleasant. He said, "look how he's carrying himself as he prepares for this play. You can tell that he is having a blast playing football right now." Gadfry, the fellow was right. Eddie's whole posture shouted, "I am kicking a$* and taking names, and then I'll rub your nose in it!" I didn't have to ask…Pleasant was loving college football.
The body language of the WRs is different than before. They EXUDE a confidence of knowing that they will get open and make the first down. I can REALLY see a difference from two years ago. All three seniors have such a confidence to them! The QBs shamelessly pad their stats by looking the Jeff Maehl first on the pattern as he is always open! Time after time I see the QBs look to Maehl after the first option, and that is with a defense that is fully conscious of Jeff's abilities, yet they still can't stop him. He is operating in Stratosphere-WR territory at Oregon and nothing I saw today changes that contention made at the Competition Day. Tuinei has a confidence that frankly…I never thought I'd never see. In the 3-on-3s…he made a separation as he left LB Land and into the secondary but positioned his body to the side of the Free Safety. The ball was thrown to the open side, but TOO HIGH, yet LT kept running before making his move. As I watched with a clear expectation of it going too long…I was slack-jawed to see him wait to the last possible moment and then launch himself upward and reach as far as he could and pull down the ball with one hand! I slid my pad into my pocket and singularly applauded him for a gymnastics type of effort. Wow.
Davis is looking like ten yards every time as he is so buff. Look at his arms and ask yourself honestly…"are those the arms of the typical Wide Receiver?" I love the concept of throwing to him on a regular basis right at the LOS and letting him catch it and run over the little DBs covering him. We did that plenty last year and it is a smart strategy to keep the corners up tight…and then run past them for big passes. This year is harvest time with our WRs as I have been dissatisfied with production in the past as they gained experience and confidence. They really are ready to be a focal point of our offense. (Gee…what good timing! We lose an excellent running QB, and need the passing game to balance the offense and offset the yardage gained by the running QB last year!)
BTW….the nickname that Beaver fans have of our coach, "Chip Belly" will have to be replaced. Look closely at the Duck CEO and you will see that he's lost a ton of weight from last year and his belly is almost completely flat. A great example for the players and fans like "yours truly". I would bet that his detractors in Corvallis have a bigger midsection by far than our Duck Commander. Good for HIM.
On special teams…the punts by Rice were SUPERB, as they had excellent hang time and went deep. It created problems catching with the wind, and the inexperience of the newbies taking their shot. (We had one blocked on a center snap that hit the ground and skipped before Jackson could scoop it up) Kickoffs went to the 15 yard line against the wind, and out of the End Zone with the wind. I like the looks and body language of Robby Beard; he kicked the crap out it. He could be an excellent Place-kicker before long…but we'll watch the battle.
The front seven on defense were practicing the switch into different Zone Blitzes based upon offensive formations and the calls from the sideline. Now keep in mind that you have to sort out where to line up, and who is blitzing, and which player is coming back in coverage, and what angles the blitzers are taking. It becomes complicated and a little hairy as the offense changes to confuse the defense and Coach Azzinaro is back there barking signals to his group. He simply wants them to quickly walk their path of assignment, but they aren't doing it fast enough for him. He is slowly building up a slow boil until he really get pissed off and says, "Everybody wants to Blitz…and nobody wants to pay the f#cken price…and THIS is the price!" (Which is learning the signals and doing it quickly before the play begins) Damn Right Coach—In life as well as on the football field! I wanted to drop things and fricken applaud him, but it would have looked weird in the cluster of people. Gawd I love a coach like that!
Look…I'm a people-watcher. I love seeing the oddities of nature, in the Shopping Mall or on the football field. Tony Washington, #91 has a tiny head for this humongous DE body. Big wide shoulders, muscular arms, and this little head? It reminds me of Paul Wiggins, an offensive tackle on the Rose Bowl team of '95 who played in the NFL for awhile and is now in my field (financial services) in Eugene. Big body and small head. It looks funny…but it works! Conversely…look at Terrell Turner; he has the most obvious DE body for D-1 or the NFL yet. I LOVE his look; he's big, yet not fat, yet not sleek, as he looks fast and powerful. (I believe he is in for a MONSTER year)
C'mon. My wife will tell you I'm not gay, but I can get a "Man-Crush" on Oregon Players. Trust me…it's healthy. (And you're a good fan)
Cliff Harris is not going to win the cornerback spot by default. Anthony Gildon is stepping up with his enormous personal improvement. On back-to-back plays…he changed my mind about him. Costa was throwing to Davis on a slant-in where DJ had the position and the knowledge of where he was going in advance and could beat the CB to the spot. Gildon was glued to DJ and was there to knock the accurate pass away. (I said, "Wow") Then on the next play we see Costa get into trouble and throw a sharp pass outside to his safety valve and even though the WR had his body shielding Anthony from the play…..the DB burst through to make the knock down without interfering. Holy Toledo that's good defense!
OK. I admit it. I have got the biggest "Man-Crush" on Josh Kaddu in a long time. He IS the stud profile of the fast, built, and smart Outside Linebacker that we see in the SEC…and he's a wrecking crew at Oregon. Lache Seastrunk took the handoff on an Outside Zone Read, and did a nice burst at the LOS to begin to enter LB Land. (The space of five yards off the LOS) Suddenly the crowd there was "aaahhed" as Kaddu plastered Seastrunk for no further gain beyond his five yards. It was a big hit that reminded us that his father WAS the heavyweight Boxing Champion of Uganda, and Josh isn't thinking jabs…he's wants to apply a defensive knockout.
That darn Boyett makes me turn my "Man-Crush" his direction when he makes big hits in the Red Zone. Seastrunk had a gain going until John met him in the hole outside the tackle and the crunch made us all wince. Lache got up…and I swear he looked drunk. Boyett rung his bell and Lache stumbled to the sidelines for awhile to clear his head.
It was another sweet pass by Costa to the middle of the field to Brandon Williams the JC transfer whose physical appearance has been impressive. As he caught the ball he was met square by Javes Lewis who just "splatted" on the front of him. It was like Might Mouse hitting Superman and bouncing off. Williams stood there over Lewis who had to be helped off the field. Who won?  Lewis did as the pass was knocked away. (Sacrificing his body on defense) Geez we love these guys!
At the end of the practice we saw some great last stands as we had a blitz overload one side to allow Josh Kaddu to force a ball OOB. (Out of bounds) There was another 4th down Zone Blitz that forced another throwaway. Good coaching and good execution.
When I began to report on Nate Costa four years ago, I told you he was "sneaky fast" with his bow legs, and big thighs. Three knee surgeries later and the analysis is the same. He fools defenses…even our own! Nate is faster than he looks to any defense. He gets into trouble as the pocket crumbles on the 10 yard line and he rolls out left, and after arm-pumping he runs to the nearest flag and almost easily makes it! I maintain….and you can quote me on this….Nate is sneaky fast. He is faster than the defense realizes. (Both ours and the opponent)
Dontae Williams is a broad-shouldered big back…who is a freshman and not fully developed yet. Even so…he did a nice spin move…so Jamesescue…for a four yard gain that otherwise would have been a big TFL. On another play he exploded outside for 15 yards. He has the big shoulders…but he is not the huge back we have used in the past. I call him, "Blount-Lite" for now. Even then…he was impressive on a number of plays.
Do we have the smallest Offensive Line in all of Division One Football? It averages only 295 lbs, yet is it fast, athletic and agile which is needed for the blocks in space for the Spread Offense. On a TD Screen pass from Costa…the block by Carson York on the Corner was legendary. The DB was laid out and hurting getting up…which is what sprung the RB to the easy TD. You gotta have fast, athletic, and agile Offensive Linemen to pull this off…and we do.
Darron Thomas had some good plays this day as well. He had a sweet 15 yard gain to Davis on 3rd and long that was just a laser right to the numbers. DT has "slingshot" motion to his passing that was pointed out to me by a Football Board Moderator. Let's call him, "Mr. M". He identified how the Darron went over-the-top on passes to get it over the defense and while it helped get it over the Defensive Line…it made his passing inconsistent and unreliable. That is a good observation!
I will say the DTs throwaway passes can be dangerous to bystanders. One pass thrown away hit a fan who deflected it elsewhere. Another hit a Golf cart and ricocheted around inside. I missed my chance for a sideline completion when I saw DT throw another one away….right at me! I was so surprised that I could not decide to catch it and drop my stuff, or finish my note and knock it away? I went with finishing the note while it was fresh, and consequently I took one hand and guided it away. Problem is that I guided it right into the gut of another bystander. I salute him as he "manned up" and didn't show any pain at all….and brushed it off. (I KNOW it hurt)
The biggest "oh crap" comments of the day came from watching Lache Seastrunk. If you don't watch him…his moves will be a slap on the side of the head as a reminder. A short sideline pass…a dump-off by Costa for five yards to Seastrunk turns into a micro-second juke inside and a burst outside for eight yards where there was nearly nothing. It wasn't just me as ALL the old farts in that section gave our a collective "aaahhh" as he cut his move. Geez.
I knew something was up when he met a DT in the backfield and did a JJ shoulder shrug inside to freeze the man while Lache went the other direction into a hole for four yards.  It was very "Onterrio-like" and demonstrated how the little plays show us champion talent. A TFL is turned into a four yard gain? He has speed that climbs quickly and on one play used his speed, (once he was in LB Land) to surge forward for eight yards after contact primarily due to his speed barreling space after the defense's contact.
I love to figure out the Running style of our tailbacks. Lache has the quick feet…turn–on-a-dime like LaMichael, yet he has fluidity to him, a smoothness. Then it hit me….he kinda floats like McCullough between the quick cuts like LaMichael. Saladin McCullough reminded me of the Back-to-the-Future Movie where Marty is riding a future skateboard that cruises on a bed of air. McCullough seemed to run that way….smooth comfortable cuts like he was that future skateboard….and Lache has that unique combo of quick cuts like James, and then floating on the skateboard to the next cut.
He had a play where he took the handoff going right on a Outside Zone Read where he went outside, and then cut inside, floated and cut on a dime outside, and then made Casey Matthews* miss on the inside, and then he floated outside and dove into the end zone for the TD! Holy Crap…this guy is good! (I gotta say that the Matthew wiff…was seen by Badmother, who was standing next to me…and if I don't credit him I'll never hear the end of it)
After gasping at the plays….I was in wonder as I realized that I had only seen Lache run on INSIDE plays this far. I have not seen what he can do in the open field yet! Oh baby!
I am reluctant to write this…but I had a vibe from today's practice that I've NEVER had; and that is that BOTH sides of the ball are damn good. Savvy QBs, experienced OL, confident WRs, and a defense that is smart, experienced, and hungry. I am trying desperately to hold my screaming confidence within….as this team is looking like none other.
I know…give me the rest of fall camp to be certain. But I have never seen this combo of talent, coaching, and strategy come together quite like this before on BOTH sides of the ball. It gets scary sticking your neck out as I am….but it is honestly how I feel.
Look out for these Ducks!

6 Filmmaking Tips from John Cassavetes
Features By Landon Palmer on August 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe 1980s proved a difficult time for many notable American directors of the 1960s and 70s. Sure, filmmakers like Altman and Coppola came out on the other side of the decade with renewed vigor, and at least one – Scorsese – even managed to arguably realize some of the most interesting work of his career. But for others, the 1980s were a lost and endless horizon of work that was hard to come by compounded by life circumstances that were even harder to endure. Difficult men who lived hard and felt deeply now found themselves confronted with their most profound personal and professional limitations. After trying to reform himself in the wake of drug addiction and a damaged reputation, Hal Ashby died of pancreatic cancer in December 1988. Just over a month later, renowned independent filmmaker, theater director, writer, and actor John Cassavetes passed away of cirrhosis of the liver. Cassavetes was supposed to die five years earlier, when he received a prognosis that he had only six months to live. Faced with almost certain death, Cassavetes composed a wrenching, beautiful and deeply personal swan song titled Love Streams about an aging alcoholic socialite reconnecting with his estranged sister, played by his wife Gena Rowlands. The dramatist would produce another film (Big Trouble, which he disowned) and stage a play after outlasting his doctor's prediction, but Love Streams remains Cassavetes' decisive magnum opus, both a thematic summation of his career in film and an indication of how his lifelong approach to filmmaking […]
Forests and Trees: Let's Rethink Filmmakers as Individuals and John Cassavetes as Auteur
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on March 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThis moment has proven opportune for a reflection of what the auteur theory means and has meant for film criticism. La politiques des auteurs, which originated in Cahiers du Cinéma in the 1950s and traveled, distilled but ready, to 1960s popular American film criticism, has irrevocably shaped how we've thought about and assessed movies to the point that it's impossible to talk about cinema outside the claims of auteurism. Not only did the work of André Bazin, Andrew Sarris and their contemporaries, combatants, and students allow for the serious study of film as an art form, but auteurism's legacy has even entered the film industry itself (film authors are now brands to be advertised) and solidified conventional readings of film history as the story of talented, uncompromising visionaries behind the camera (collect them all!). As Kent Jones's excellent Film Comment essay points out, our means of loving the cinema owes a great deal to auteurism's transformative power, particularly its now-common sense claim that "movies are primarily the creation of one governing author behind the camera who thinks in images and sounds rather than words and sentences." Yet we must also recognize auteurism's structuring power – its ability to create a framework of recognized artists through which it becomes impossible to see filmmaking, film history, and film themselves otherwise. It is nothing new to challenge the assumptions and associations of auteurism (or whatever fragmented versions of its politic – not theory – we've inherited), but it has proven incredibly difficult to ascertain what could […]
This Is Shorty: Why Are We Afraid of Long Comedies?
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 8, 2013 | Comments (10)Self-indulgent. Nevel-gazing. Structureless. Plotless. These are some of the shared criticisms that have been leveled at Judd Apatow's This Is 40, but many of these denunciations have been articulated in tandem with complaints about the film's length. "This is 40 hours long" became a common joke on Twitter after press screenings leading to the theatrical release, and descriptions of critics' experience of the film's length were often provided in great detail alongside some of the above criticisms. Dana Stevens of Slate even mistakenly referred to the 133-minute film as "nearly three hours long." It's strange that, in the same month that saw the high-profile releases of several two-and-a-half-plus-hour films including Django Unchained, Les Miserables, and Zero Dark Thirty, it's Apatow's film that has received the bulk of holiday season duration-related criticism. Sure, there have been complaints about The Hobbit's 170-minute running time, but that's also a film that is 1/3 of an adaptation of a relatively short novel and has been projected on some screens at an eye-fucking frame rate. In short, the length of The Hobbit seems to be only one of several problems, whereas the flaws of This is 40 have often been summarized, and inferred, as revolving around its length.
The Top Ten Films Noir According to 'Road to Perdition' Writer Max Allan Collins
Cinematic Listology By Guest Author on May 14, 2012 | Comments (6)Editor's Note: Max Allan Collins has written over 50 novels and 17 movie tie-in books. He's also the author of the Road to Perdition graphic novel, off which the film was based. With his new Mickey Spillane collaboration "Lady, Go Die" in great bookstores everywhere, we thought it would be fun to ask him for his ten best films noir. In true noir fashion, we bit off more than we could handle… We have to begin with a definition of noir, which is tricky, because nobody agrees on one. The historical roots are in French film criticism, borrowing the term noir (black) from the black-covered paperbacks in publisher Gallimard's Serie Noire, which in 1945 began reprinting American crime writers such as Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Raymond Chandler, Chester Himes, Horace McCoy, Jim Thompson, Mickey Spillane, W.R. Burnett and many others. The films the term was first applied to were low-budget American crime thrillers made during the war and not seen in France till after it. The expressionistic lighting techniques of those films had as much to do with hiding low production values as setting mood. In publishing circles, the term has come to replace "hardboiled" because it sounds hipper and not old-fashioned. I tend to look at dark themes and expressionistic cinematography when I'm making such lists, which usually means black-and-white only; but three color films are represented below, all beyond the unofficial cut-off of the first noir cycle (Kiss Me Deadly, 1955). Mystery genre expert Otto Penzler has […]
Culture Warrior: How the 70s Proved Mass-Marketing Wasn't the Only Way to Make Movies
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 24, 2012 | Comments (1)As much as I admire the incomparable films made during the era, New Hollywood (the term referring to innovative, risk-taking films made funded by studios from the mid-60s to the mid-70s) is a title that I find a bit problematic. The words "New Hollywood" better characterize the era that came after what the moniker traditionally refers to. Think about it: if "Old" or "Classical" Hollywood refers to the time period that stretches roughly from 1930 to 1960 when the studios as an industry maintained such an organized and regimented domination over and erasure of any other potential conception over what a film playing in any normal movie theater could be, then if we refer to the time period from roughly 1977 to now "New Hollywood," the term then appropriately signifies a new manifestation of the old: regimentation, predictability, and limitation of expression. Where Old Hollywood studios would produce dozens of films of the same genre, New Hollywood (as I'm appropriating the term) could acutely describe the studios' comparably stratified output of sequels, remakes, etc. What we traditionally understand to be New Hollywood was not so much its own monolithic era in Hollywood's legacy, but a brief, strange, and wonderful lapse between two modes of Hollywood filmmaking that have dominated the industry's history.
A Deeper Look: National Film Registry Saves 'Gump,' Classic Cassavetes, 'El Mariachi' and More
Features By Scott Beggs on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Every year, the National Film Registry announces 25 films that it will toss gently into its vault for safe keeping. This year, they've chosen a hell of a list, but (like every year), the movies saved act as a reminder that even in a digital world where it seems unfathomable that we'd lose art, we're still losing art. The task of actively preserving films is an honorable, laudable one, and it's in all of our best interests to see movies like these kept safe so that future generations (and those attending Butt-Numb-a-Thon 55) will be able to screen them as they were meant to be seen. So what 25 movies made the cut this year? Let's explore:
Culture Warrior: Occupy Hollywood
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 8, 2011 | Comments (2)One of the great misconceptions about Hollywood is that it is a liberal institution. Several false assumptions inform this misconception: thinking of "Hollywood" as a monolithic entity in any way besides its shared corporate infrastructure, confusing public endorsements of celebrity politicians by celebrity movie stars as political activism, thinking that left-leaning consumers of movies see Hollywood as representing their political beliefs in any way, selectively reading a limited number of texts (e.g., Green Zone "proves" Hollywood's liberalism, but every superhero movie ever isn't proof of its conservatism), and, most importantly, thinking that the most public figures associated with Hollywood (i.e., stars and filmmakers) are Hollywood. This last point I think is one that has continued to be the least considered when such straw man critiques are drawn, because Hollywood here is equated only with its most visible figures who overshadow its intricate but also not-so-shrouded political economy. It's no mistake that despite the fluctuating numbers of major and minor Hollywood studios in the past 100 years, the most powerful studios, like the biggest banks in the nation, have been referred to as "The Big Five." And indeed, to the surprise of no one, both Big Fives have had and are continuing a lucrative relationship with one another.

Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on July 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe most difficult thing about watching seminal, groundbreaking, paradigm-shifting movies is that it's impossible to see them, feel them, or experience them the way they were in the moment, before they became influential enough to seem almost unexceptional by retrospective comparison. It's difficult to marvel at the audacious camera angles or fragmented narrative of Citizen Kane in an age where Gaspar Noe and Guillermo Arriaga exist, or be shocked by the expertly-crafted profanity of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf in a post-David Mamet world. These movies may remain strong and, in other ways, timeless, but even with the very best, the "moment" of greatness is lost by the sheer force of its effect on cinema that came after. Films, after all, aren't made in a vacuum. They are the constant subject of influence, and rarely anything influences a film more than another great film.
Vintage Trailer of the Day: A Woman Under the Influence (1974)
Features By Scott Beggs on July 11, 2011 | Be the First To CommentCome out here, Mabel. This column took some time off (thus calling into question its title), but it comes back strong with an unusual advertisement for an unusual John Cassavetes movie. Peter Falk stars here as the husband of a woman with mental problems (played stunningly by Gena Rowlands). At first, the story was going to be a play, but it was Rowlands who convinced Cassavetes to write it as a screenplay because she claimed the role was too emotionally draining to force an actress to do night after night. It's a pure passion project which found Cassavetes mortgaging his home to finance and found him lugging it from theater to theater himself after completion because he didn't have a distributor. Thankfully, An up-and-comer named Martin Scorsese took a liking to his work and threatened to pull Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore from a New York City film festival unless they accepted A Woman Under the Influence. A close call for a film which garnered two Oscar nominations including Best Director and Best Lead Actress.
Criterion Files #336: 'Dazed and Confused' Wipes That Face Off Your Head, Bitch
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 15, 2011 | Comments (2)When I write this column, I typically don't get the opportunity to write about movies from my teen years. I, like many, came into a cinephilic love for art and foreign cinema during college, and in that process grew to appreciate The Criterion Collection. Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused (1993), however, is a movie that's followed me through various changes in my life for (I'm just now realizing as I write this) about half of my time thus far spent on Earth.

Culture Warrior: Can Cinema Ever Be Spontaneous?
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on March 22, 2011 | Comments (3)Acts of spontaneity have been an essential component of artistic expression in the twentieth century, based in the notion of a perceived "purity" within the spontaneous act that allows art to be directly articulated without mediation or interference from social pressures and constructs. From the improvisatory paintings of Jackson Pollock to the idea of the rewrite as heresy within Jack Kerouac's prose, spontaneity in many cases is seen as the only way to make art that has any "real" meaning. According to Daniel Belgrad, mid-century efforts toward artistic spontaneity provided a means of expression free from the constrains enforced by an oppressive, conformist hegemonic culture: "This new avant-garde shared the belief that cultural conditioning functioned ideologically by encouraging the atrophy of certain perceptions and the exaggeration of others…In the recovery of such an alternative "reality"…they saw the only basis for constructively radical social change." Spontaneity through art then doesn't alter perception as much as its restores it to its ideal original state, allowing artists and spectators of art to see beyond a regime's oppressive confines.
Criterion Files #251: 'Shadows' Creates Independent Film Off the Top of Its Head
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on March 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentJohn Cassavetes' Shadows (1959) is often cited as a watershed moment in American independent film, and Cassavetes himself rather conveniently historicized as our nation's "first" independent filmmaker. Such historical designations are often used as a way to narrativize precedents to the 1980s and 1990s Sundance-emboldened independent film "movement" and draw historical equivalents to the practices of now and then. This tendency often positions Cassavetes' undoubtedly important contributions in a way that simplistically juxtaposes his artistic efforts with that of, say, anybody from Jim Jarmusch to Quentin Taranatino, ignoring the essential differences in historical context and means of aesthetic expression between them while also conveniently evading the many other American "independent" filmmakers that came before Cassavates himself. While Cassavetes is undoubtedly a one-of-a-kind filmmaker (excluding the many he has influenced), perhaps the biggest problem with this conventionally reductive veneration of Cassavetes is the notion that he acted alone, that he was an anomaly in an otherwise dominant system. John Cassavetes is undoubtedly one of America's most important filmmakers, but seeing him as such an incongruity prevents us from understanding exactly why he was so important.

Gunrunner is sentenced to nearly 17 years in prison
BY KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter May 15, 2014 12:26PM
This photo of "Big Dave" Lewisbey was submitted as evidence in his trial for illegally selling guns.| Provided
Article Extras
Updated: May 15, 2014 5:51PM
A gunrunner who supplied illegal weapons to gang members during the bloodiest summer in Chicago's recent history has been sentenced to nearly 17 years in federal prison.
"Big Dave" Lewisbey, 24, of South Holland, exploited a well-worn loophole by traveling back and forth between Indiana gun shows and the South Side, selling handguns by the duffle bag load before he was finally nabbed in 2012.
"This case is a perfect example of where the guns come from ... and into the hands of gangbangers who then shoot them and kill and wound people," U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman said Wednesday as he imposed a 200-month sentence on Lewisbey.
Lewisbey — a former high school and college football star who had no criminal record that would prevent him from legally buying guns — bought 43 guns in Indiana and brought them to Chicago in one 48-hour period in April 2012, evidence at his trial last year showed.
Shell casings from a gun Lewisbey sold were found at the scene of a Gangster Disciples gang shooting just two months later.
"During one of the deadliest years in Chicago's history, the defendant was pumping numerous unregistered and untraceable firearms into the most violent neighborhoods in Chicago," Assistant U.S. Attorneys Bethany Biesenthal and Christopher Parente argued in a sentencing memo.
"The defendant ran his business on the side streets and back alleys of Chicago's neighborhoods. No background checks, no receipts, no written record."
Despite the seriousness of the case, Lewisbey's trial in September had a comic aspect. He claimed his wealth came from drug dealing, not gun trading, and that the guns he bought were simply his "personal collection" — an argument jurors didn't buy.
He was partly undone by boastful Facebook posts in which he flashed wads of bills and vowed "I'm get rich or go to jail or die trying."

Looking for Design help with cruise invitations
We will be cruising in April and I am trying to put together a treasure hunt for my children with an invitation to cruise at the end as a way to let them know we are going. Anyone willing/able to come up with 3 invitations? We will be sailing the Wonder, April 4-8. The names would be Mya, Savanah and Jacob. I wish I was talented/patient enough to design my own....frustration sets in and before you know it I am contemplating tossing the computer out the window :sad: Any help would be greatly appreciated :worship:
Thanks |
Thanks so much. I feel like I am lost on these boards sometimes.
The current gold castaway gift includes some very nice DCL notecards. We have plenty of them (2 cabins last cruise=16 notecards, lol), would you like me to send you a couple? They are a picture of the ship with the cruise line logo and "Disney Cruise Line" on the front.
Send me a PM if you are interested. I'm thinking you could either write inside them or print out something to glue inside. :) |

Hertl stands alone atop Calder Poll for NovemberThe Hockey's Future Calder Trophy poll for November reflected the depth of the 2013-14 rookie class as 22 players received votes from members of the staff. This month's Top 10 was impacted by several early season call-ups who have emerged while a handful of players who opened the season with a bang but then cooled off are no longer in this month's Top 10 (actually eleven since there was a tie for the 10th spot). San Jose Sharks junior prospects have run the gamut of experiences in 2013-14The San Jose Sharks junior prospect pool features five, up and coming prospects of various pedigree. Some have a plethora of skill, some of grit but what remains consistent in all of them is that they are good character kids in and around the rink and have something to prove to the naysayers; a staple for Sharks prospects. Hertl, Monahan share Calder Poll honors for October Playing for a disappointing Ottawa 67's team that was one of the weaker teams in the OHL last season, Calgary Flames rookie Sean Monahan was overshadowed by forwards such as Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin of the Memorial Cup-winning Halifax Mooseheads heading into the 2013 NHL Draft. Team Rankings: MacKinnon boosts status of Colorado Avalanche prospect poolBelow is the 21-30 segment of the Hockey's Future NHL Team Rankings. The teams are ranked in terms of the quality of their overall prospect pool as voted on by members of the HF staff. For reference, just the top five prospects for each club are listed. To be eligible, a prospect must meet HF's prospect criteria. The rankings are done twice a year, with this ranking meant to represent the state of the prospect pools in the early stages of the 2013-14 season. |

The Pop Magazine Spider And I editorial puts a deeply tormented version of model Stef van der Laan on display. Laan is cast in black and white lighting, executed here on behalf of the publication's photographer Danko Steiner.
Steiner's black and white finishes were matched with the morose mood of the set. Laan posed in dark strips of cloth, used here to cover her eyes. Other images revealed her pouting while clad in lace face coverings, pieces that were chosen by stylist Ana Steiner. Her vision resonated with Spider and I's edgy tormented mood as she also put together tight bustiers, jackets featuring religious objects and an assortment of bizarre headgear, making Laan appear ready for a haunted film production.

I'm only 20 years old, but I swear the peppermint stick zinnias that I've been been able to get the past few years look a little different than they used to look when I was growing up? Did Burpee introduce a new one and replace an older variety? I firmly remember white and red ones and then the yellow and red ones but the new splotched colors are not striking a nostalgic nerve at all. They also look too double to me....am I just being silly or has anyone else noticed this too?
Thanks, Max |

Hi Max They are introducing new varieties of flowers all the time. What you grew in your garden years ago may not resemble what you get today, even if it has the same common name. The latin names may vastly differ though. Peppermint stick zinnias come in a variety of colors, and mixes. All have splotches. The memory is not always reliable--are you sure they were peppermint stick zinnias you grew back then, or some other variety. |
Pretty sure they were called "peppermint stick" because I always called them "candy cane flowers" and then the regular double zinnias of whatever series at the time I just called "pom-poms". They were ususally less double and would contrast in cutting arrangements. Looking online I can see that they have a lot of variation, even in flower form as you said. Maybe the mix I used to get or what was more available was more of a single blossomed variety that's gone by the wayside..... |

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
