That strategy has worked well, Cramer noted, as Carrizo has now overcome its funding gap and can now fund operations through 2014.
Johnson cited the Niobara shale field in Colorado as one of Carrizo's many untapped assets. He said the region is just getting started but so far has been very profitable. Meanwhile, his company has been selling some of its Barnett shale assets as those wells have been primarily producing dry gas, which is not Carrizo's strong suit.
When asked about the possibility of being acquired, Johnson said that every small producer is being studied by larger companies, but he remains focused on growing and establishing his company's acreage and is not pay attention to possible acquisitions.
Cramer said Carrizo remains a great growth story and he remains a believer in the stock.
More Anointed Stocks
Continuing with his "Anointed Stock" series, Cramer looked at the best-performing biotech stocks of the year with the help of colleague Bob Lang for some technical analysis. First, Lang looked at Celgene (CELG - Get Report), a stock that's been running since mid-August on high volume. Lang felt that with the MACD and Williams' oscillators both showing an embedded overbought condition, this stock would rally hard through the end of the year, after first pulling back to its 50-day moving average of $140. Next, Lang looked at Regeneron (REGN - Get Report), which after rallying from $170 to $300 a share broke out over a double top to continue to new all-time highs. Lang noted the RSI and Williams' oscillators also showed strong overbought conditions, making this stock a buy after it pulls back to its floor of support at $275 a share. Then there was Gilead Sciences (GILD - Get Report), which Lang said had the best trend line of the bunch. Lang felt this stock could be bought even without a pullback.Lightning Round
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on ARM Holdings (ARMH), Intel (INTC), Zoltek (ZOLT) and Cisco Systems (CSCO). Cramer was bearish on Baidu.com (BIDU), Coach (COH) and Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA).Executive Decision: Jean-Jacques Bienaime
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Jean-Jacques Bienaime, CEO of BioMarin Pharmaceuticals (BMRN - Get Report), the orphan-drug maker whose four drugs have already racked up over $500 million in sales thanks, in part, to their high price tags of between $95,000 and $350,000 a year. Shares of BioMarin are up 28% since Cramer last featured the company in June. Bienaime explained that with orphan drug makers it's not about the number of patients who you treat, it's about improving the quality of life for those you do. He said the patient populations they serve run between just 200,000 patients in the U.S. down to just 10,000 patients. But with no other alternative treatments available, insurance companies are willing to pay the drug's big premium since it makes such a huge difference. Bienaime also touted his company's fifth drug, which is currently in Phase III testing, as a game changer for BioMarin because that drug also could more than double the company's revenue. When asked about the scores of patients who are literally dying to get into new drug trials and studies, Bienaime said BioMarin works to get effective and safe drugs onto the market as quickly as possible, but it can't always accept new patients into their studies because they require randomized samples and double-blind studies. Cramer called BioMarin one of the strongest biotech stories out there and one investors need to investigate.No Huddle Offense
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer threw up his hands and said it's time to surrender all hope that Washington will ever understand the potential of oil and natural gas in our country. "How can this be so hard?" he asked. Nearly all of the objections to natural gas have been met or debunked, Cramer continued. Yet, you'll be hard-pressed to find any elected official who's not on the renewable energy bandwagon touting solar and ethanol rather than stopping oil and gas imports from hostile nations. Cramer said it's almost as if Congress has declared war on gaining energy independence and is now seeing higher gas prices as an incentive to conserve. Renewable energy, he concluded, is like a religion in Washington that cannot be stopped. To watch replays of Cramer's video segments, visit the Mad Money page on CNBC.

Yes indeed! While Canadians cannot just pack up and move to the US and work, there are several ways that Canadians can obtain a visa to legally work in the US.
The best option for a Canadian who wants to work in the United States may be a TN Visa. That's because the TN Visa is fast and somewhat easier than with other visas. To begin, you'll need a job offer from a US company.
Be aware though, that this job must appear on the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) occupation list for a TN visa. That list is available here.
If your job does not appear on this special list, you may still have options and be eligible for a work visa in the US – contact us at the form on the right to learn how you can still obtain a visa to work in the US.
TN Visas can be applied for at the border. But, they must first be reviewed by an immigration officer at the border, who will determine on the spot whether you are eligible for a TN Visa – and it can be very inconvenient to be turned down at the border. That's why you should ensure your application and all supporting documentation are error and omission free.
Click here for our top 10 TN Visa Tips!
Note there are other US Work Visas that may be attractive for Canadians such as the L1 Visa, E2 Visa or H1-B Visa
Myself and two of my friends want to move to New York from Ontario for 6months… All of us are actors and understanding how hard it is to find acting jobs right away is a struggle, is it possible to obtain a visa even if we are going to work in the costumer service industry for most or all of our stay?
If I want to go from Canada to Florida to be a nanny for my friend's family who may be posted on the military base in Tampa next year, what kind of visa would I need?
Hello, Michael
I am a US citizen but am a landed immigrant in Canada. I am married to a Canadian. We bought a house in Fla.-[under my name]………My question is this….my husband wants to work during the 6 months we are in Fla….How can he do this legally and could he loose his OHIP? I started collecting S.S. in Feb., I don't know if that has any bearing on this or not. And by the way I am opening up a home based business in Fla. as well
I am looking to work in the US as a production assistant on film productions, something I have been doing here in Ontario. It is obviously not a TN-acceptable vacation, and I am unable to obtain a job offer until I'm actually on site. Is there any way for me to make this work? Thank you!
My girlfriend and I where looking at coming down to work at a ski resort for 6 months and wanted to know what visa would suit us the best thanks

Ray Boucher, the licensed massage therapist at Zen to You, is passionate about improving the health and happiness of his clients through massage therapy. He focuses on each individual's needs, whether it's more convenient to receive a hot-stone massage at home from his mobile-massage service, or visit Z Spa in Palm Harbor, where Ray untangles muscular knots in a soothing, private treatment room. Specializing in Swedish and sports massage, as well as neuromuscular therapy and myofascial release, Ray also incorporates passive stretching, trigger-point therapy, and muscle-energy techniques. He customizes each session to focus on problem areas and the release of chronically held stress.
The licensed massage therapists at Massage Advantage dote on visitors with a slew of custom massage techniques, including Swedish, prenatal, and deep tissue. Armed with warm blankets and a credo to respect patients' privacy, therapists begin each 30- or 60-minute session with a discussion on clients' specific aches and ailments. Therapists can also haul their equipment to office buildings for workplace chair massages that help reinvigorate fatigued employees or stressed-out water coolers during 5- to 15-minute stints. Each succession of kneads is designed to alleviate stress, muscles soreness, and various medical conditions, such as high blood pressure.
Board-certified chiropractor Dr. Jason Hurley helms Motion Council, where he and his team work to alleviate pains and issues through motion and physicality treatments. They offer services such as chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling.
Occupying 22 sprawling acres of Tampa Bay coastline, Safety Harbor Resort & Spa combines the leisure of a luxury resort with the peaceful release of a day spa. A pack of 10 resort day passes provides unlimited access to the 50,000 square feet of recently renovated resort, spa, and fitness facilities for a full face-wallop's worth of relaxation. Three pools offer aquatic opportunities for every temperament. A fitness center is stocked to the muscle-bound rafters with cardio and weight equipment, and group classes take place daily, with 78 classes available each week. Clean and spacious men's and women's locker rooms give guests a chance to wind down in privacy after schvitzing within the confines of a sauna or steam room. The 10 passes can be used by one person over the course of 10 separate days, or shared with nine companions chanting "number nine" in a vaguely British monotone.
Heather S. Kuczer's career was inspired by her experiences as a chronic back- and neck-pain sufferer. After years of trying to cover up her symptoms with medication, she decided to explore alternative forms of treatment and soon found herself pursuing her massage license in order to help others find relief from pain, anxiety, and stress. In 1996 she started Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center, where she is now joined by a group of licensed, experienced massage therapists who also dole out relaxing treatments such as aromatherapy massage and warm footbaths. The center's specialties are naturally geared toward therapeutic work including neuromuscular and sports massages, which focus on soothing the ails of consummate athletes.

Nepali Date converter mobile software (Updated)
With the release of my new personal website(www.pradeepsofts.com) i thought up to provide one free necessary software.
Since i have already made mobile games and will release them timely with some useful contents, competitions and rewards.
As a first try i made date-converter version 1.0. This version might get updated with new features according to audience response. I Promise to develop more professional looking GUI(Graphical User Interface) In upcoming version. Trust me this is very hard thing to do with Java ME (Mobile development platform)
Date-converter is a java based mobile application which works in Multi platform of java based phones including Nokia, Sony Ericson, Samsung, Blackberry, LG, Motorola, Siemens and etc. It is mainly focused for Nokia. If you face any problem with other platform please let me know. I will try to provide you working application within 24 hours.
and many other java enabled phones. The main purpose of this software is to provide useful feature to peoples regarding date conversions.
How? The Concept.
This feature exists in my very successful website www.lovingnepal.com. But the time i need this tool was ridiculous. I was at Kathmandu with my relative, Some governmental works. We needed to converse Nepali date to English. I hung out in search of cyber. Unfortunately there was no electricity. Lately we could convert but it was very late. The office was closed. I guess the next day was something like public holiday? I don't remember exactly. But due to one date conversion i wasted my important 3 days. So later i thought to make something like date converter in mobile? And this is my small try to help you guys. Time is short and hope this software helps you in any part of your life and remove troubles like i faced. This is not much concerned thing but when we need this, that is really irritating thing to do.
This is the main screen with menu's to choose what action to perform?
This is after choosing Nepali to English or vice versa date conversion.
This is the response converted date.
This is about page. From main screen
Menu, Clicking home will take you to main first screen.
How it works?
Download the jar version from download center. Link is available at last of this post. Install it to your mobile device. You Can see date-converter software installed. Open it. As you see in above screenshots. Choose the menu and provide the date. You will get the converted date accordingly. Since this application needs internet access After clicking to Convert please wait for sometime until software fetches data. If you couldn't run this application then please let me know. Please comment here with the error that you face along with your mobile device name. So it will help me to solve your problem and provide you working application. In some mobile the soft keys might not work. So try using number keys. If it still doesn't work please let me know. Since different platform have different key-codes some keys might not work in some phones. I will love to provide you another application just adding more key functionalities.
Request To All
Please if you like/dislike or if you have any comments then leave your valuable comments. It will help me to develop more free software's for you all. I will be happy if you can share this website URL and software's in various social networking website's and promote Nepali software's. To keep in touch with me you can like me in my Facebook page which is at right side of this post.
I Completed this application in around 15 days. In html & php its 5 minute work but in this platform quite complex. It is part of j2me(java) development. I used Netbeans 7.0.1 to develop this application. This application uses canvas and need midp 1.0+ to run. Tested in E71, E61, 6300.
Updated (2011/12/21)
Updated. Menu bug has been fixed. It works in all nokia and other phones. If still you face any error please report me. Thanks for everyone who reported the bug. Download from below the updated version.

1. The headlamps are mere slits, but they wrap around nicely to define the corners at night and add visual length to the ensemble.
2. Practicality yields to style. The extreme windshield slope won't be much appreciated by drivers at night in bad weather. It'll also be hard to clean inside but will look good in the showroom.
3. No, it's not a Prius, but the low-drag roofline associated with that car is rapidly becoming ubiquitous because it works.
4. This dark plastic blade under the nose lets the painted surfaces above seem slimmer than they would be in a single color.
5. The corner intakes are a lot bigger than they need to be, but they enhance the impression of toughness that appeals to many SUV buyers. So why not?
6. Mitsubishi established huge, perfectly round wheelhouses as a hallmark of SUVs long ago, and they've been followed by almost every automaker since. This iteration is simple, clean, and strong.
7. The slim-spoke wheels are almost lacy, certainly not what you'd want for heavy-duty off-roading but perfectly suitable for supermarket runs.
8. There is a lot going on at sill level in the Vertrek, some having to do with the slide-out running boards. Look for the lines to remain but not the elaborate mechanism.
9. These high-resolution digital-sensor mirror replacements will not be on the forthcoming production Kuga/Escape, but they will be with us someday.
10. This little hook allows the rising line of color separation to reestablish itself as a horizontal element, improving the stance and set of the body to the rear wheels.

Have to agree with the folks here. Mission and Cutscene replay isn't just a staple of Saint's Row games but from Volition titles in general. And with all the hard work that was poured into the missions from what I've seen so far, it would be silly to not have it in the game somewhere aside from completely replaying the game.
/signed. It's positively mildly inane that it's gone, IMO. It was SUCH a huge, praised feature in the previous games, along with reviewing cutscenes.
Please add a reply mission tap to the main menu. We now you guys can do it and us who is supporting your game not only wants it but, needs it in order to keep this game in our libaray til the next saints game come out. Like with Saints Row 2, I don't see myself buying DLC if it's no Reply Vaule it for me. Please Here our voice.
110% AGREED! I loved the newspaper board in SR2. I must have replayed the whole thing about 10+ times!
I agree to this. I love replaying missons and watching cutscenes over and over again, but NOT by starting the game over from scratch. That would mean that I have to play through the more difficult missions over again, which would also mean even more hurting!
1000000 % agree! replay nissions were part of saints row !!!bring it back
Please bring back being able to Replay Missions and Cutscenes! If you can't do in with a patch/update or DLC on SR:TT... remember that it is a MUST for SR4.
Dear God, yes! We need one, it's the thing that bugs me the most about The Third.
Just add a little menu on the phone to replay mission, it can be very simple, I don't care, I just want it.
yes - i would love to have that feature back too!
Guys it wont/cant come back...
The reason it was taken out was because in missions you have the option to choose now. Like for instance you choose to keep Loren's penthouse or blow it up
What if I decide to blow it up and 20minutes later I replay the mission and decide to keep it?? That would confuse the hell out of the game and cause problems. I mean, which option will the game decide to choose??
It cant just take away all the respect that you earned from blowing it up once you replay and decide to keep the penthouse
The only way I can honestly see it coming back is if they take out the choices in the missions which I personally will not mind

Specialized Defroster Boots
A decent pair of winter boots is long overdue from the (other) Big S. In all other fields, they rival both Shimano and Sidi in popularity and (for me at least) usually exceed both in ergonomics and fit. It's good to see that they've done their homework and not just come out with a slightly less vented racing shoe or DH boot

Love mine, only critisism is a slight nag at the neoprene cuff closure (for me). Just can't seem to get it quite as snug as I'd like. Not horrendous but always seem to leave a little ruck in the cuff.
Otherwise recommended.
I've used these shoes for the past winter season here in Oregon, and they are superb! I swear by Specializeds shoes and won't wear any others, and had been waiting for them to do a winter boot. As your review mentions, they aren't super hot, so you can wear them across a range of temps (I've worn them as cold as 25F and as warm as in the 60′s F). We get plenty of rain here, and they're great. They also seem to hold up well. I've watched other guys go through the Lake and Pearl Izumi boots/have various problems, none with these so far. I highly recommend them.
I had a pair of these shoes, they leaked like a sieve I don't think they are a match for the british weather. I can't recommend these shoes.
Without waterproof trousers over the top, NO shoe is completely waterproof, due to the big hole where your foot goes. Having said that, these are as close as you'll get and with a decent pair of wolly socks they're warm too.

I'm hoping she has about 2 more years left in her, she's been a damn good car so far, had her since 98'. The previous owner took good care of her, some older fellow and his college student daughter had her. Nothing too special about her though, as plain as can be, cd player, cant roll down the back passenger side window because it stays down, conservative with the air conditioning and heat for fear of overheating her, but nevertheless everyone likes her. And I'll certainly miss her once she's gone, we've been through a ton of shit together.

Oakley Lava Pant - Men's
Ha! Also nice for the girls! :)
I had problems with finding some nice baggy pants for women...But I absolutely love this pair! :)
I am 1m70 and normally have a size S or M (or 36 or 38). In the shop only L was left, but it still fitted, because the waist is super adjustable and you can choose to wear it either very low or high (in my case I have to do with the high). Surprisingly, you can't see anything of the oversized waist with my jacket overneath, and the relaxed fit is just perfect :)..And then to think I almost succumbed to trying a tighter fit pair of pants..:P

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Muscadine grape
[MUHS-kuh-dihn]
Found in the southeastern United States, this thick-skinned purple grape has a strong, musky flavor. It's a native American grape grown mainly to be eaten although it's also used to make a limited amount of wine. In fact, the muscadine was one of the first varieties from which wine was made in America. One of its varieties — the scuppernong  — is used to make a sweet wine that is still popular in the South.

Whee, first rating for this one! I used about 1.5 heaped tsp leaf for ~8 oz water that was left to cool 3 minutes after boiling.
Liquor brewed up very clear & almost colorless, with a strong aroma of cooked vegetables, more green & less buttery than that of comparable teas I've had. It was very drinkable, with little astringency and a rather juicy mouthfeel. Didn't really wow me, but maybe further infusions will reveal something more interesting.

Great toner for oily skin and prevent breakouts. It's not as harsh on my skin as the Neutrogena Clear Pore and doesn't dry out my skin. In fact, it keeps my skin younger looking due to the exfoliation.

This stuff is just awful. It is so strong and way too harsh. I do NOT have sensitive skin at all. My skin is very oily, but almost never has dryness to it. In the morning I use a light moisturizer but at night I moisturize well since even oily skin needs good moisture. You can tell just by the alcohol smell of this stuff that it's too harsh on the skin. If you really want a good toner that's cheap, get Thayer's Witch Hazel. I'm going back to the witch hazel myself.

When I want to go for a cheap astringent, this is my favorite. Yes, it has its flaws, but it works wonderfully if you know what to do with it (especially after putting it on).
Yes, this stuff mostly has alcohol in it. Yes, this stuff doesn't smell good. Yes, this stuff can dry your face to the bone. I admit that all of these are true, but once I put a good moisturizer on my face after applying the astringent, all of the product's faults go right out the window.
This astringent helps with any blemishes, which is the purpose of astringent in the first place. It doesn't make my skin feel oily (and it helps the moisturizer from making it oily as well).
The only thing left I have to say about this product is that it's reliable. I can recommend this to anyone, but just make sure that you put moisturizer on after using it!

Used to be my fav astringent, what was I thinking? It's really smelly the fumes burn my eyes. Leaves me really dry yet after a couple hours i'd be oily and have dry patches with flakey skin. I switched to a more natural toner my skin is in much better. I have to say is the cap used to make a very loud pop when closed it must have been redesigned because that no longer happens.

Yes, it burns. Most astringents do. But it works. I'm breaking out much less since switching to the clean & clear brand. I feel this is the best brand of drugstore acne products.
I've tried proactive,RX for brown skin, neutrogena, and dermatologist presciptions and nothing helped clear up my skin like clean & clear. I however limit myself to using the astringent 1x a day because it can cause drying if you use it everytime you wash your face.

LOVES IT LOVES IT LOVES IT!! I'm on my second bottle now and I've been using it for about 2 1/2 years. I was using Dickinson's Witch Hazel first but it was pricey so i switched to this. And it's great! I have acne prone skin and this really takes care of me. My morning routine would not be complete without this. Seriously, I would feel gross without this.
EDIT: I am now on my 3rd bottle! i am serious when i say i could not live without this!!

This toner definately keeps my skin from cystic acne outbreaks, but it does really burn!!! I'll tolerate the burn as long as it keeps my skin clear!!! *BEWARE THE INITIAL BREAKOUT THOUGH!* Salicylic acid brings gunk to the surface, and I broke out for the first 3 weeks, but after that, smooth smooth sailing!!!
Update: Oct 19, 2009:
I gave up on this toner... I moved on to a WAY better product (Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid) and I am in love with it. Although this toner showed me that salicylic acid works well with my skin, it totally dried my skin out, so I opted for a way more hydrating product.

I would never use this stuff for my face as I feel it's far too drying. I wouldn't put 50% alcohol on my face EVER. However, I do find that this does wonders for my bacne and chesne. I'll apply 2-3 times a day and all the annoying zits just seem to shrivel up and disappear. I have noticed that the chest skin has become drier as well as clearer so I recently replaced this with pads that also had 2% salicylic acid. The skin was less dry but the zits were making a comeback so I'm currently using this and some nivea cream. I guess the alcohol really does well on tougher body skin when it came to pimples.

Can anyone one help me with info on the Dorey family in Indiana. My Grandmother parents were Ed Douglas and Emma Douglas. I don't know what happen to Ed but Emma place my grandmother Mildred Douglas in an orphan home and she was later taken out and was raised by Kate E. VanPelt and her husband. Kate is either an Aunt or sister to Emma. In the 1930 census for Indianapolis, Center Twp., Marion Co., Indiana, Kate mother is living with the family. Kate mother name was Louisa J. Lewis but she was once married to a Dorey. So I was thinking that Dorey might be Emma maiden name. Emma later married my GGrandfather son Joseph H. Coats and her daughter Mildred married Joseph brother Leroy Coats. Emma listed her last name as Miller when she married Joseph H. Coats. I don't know how many times that Emma has been married but I hope that someone can help me out with this mess. Please contact me...............Violet Lynch Notify Administrator about this message?

2014: A Remarkable, Exciting Year for Animation
Best of 2014 By Daniel Walber on December 15, 2014 | Be the First To Comment2014 was a marvelous, thrilling year for feature-length animation. While such a good crop is never easy to predict, the early shot in the arm that was The LEGO Movie certainly set the tone. That the first real critical hit of the year was an animated feature, released in the dead of February amidst Oscar season, the RoboCop remake and The Monuments Men, is a significant thing. Just a cursory look at the 2014 films that qualify for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature should put a smile on your face, even if some were panned and others seem obscure. From the best of American studio fare to The Tale of Princess Kaguya, perhaps the year's most evident masterpiece, there's been a lot to celebrate.
'The Final Member,' 'The LEGO Movie' and 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' Are the Best New DVD/Blu-ray Releases This Week
Features By Rob Hunter on June 17, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. Ernest & Celestine Celestine is a young mouse still learning the ways of the world, and part of her ongoing education is learning that the bears who live on the surface above the subterranean city the mice call home are vicious, mean and constantly intent on eating any mouse they come across. She's never met one, but she sees no reason why mice and bears can't be friends. She finds her opinion challenged when one of her excursions up top brings her in contact with a bear named Ernest, and soon the two are on an adventure that goes against all the laws of both bear and mouse society. This French award-winner is a whimsical delight from beginning to end as it tells a sweet tale of friendship that doubles as a metaphor for inter-species relations. Maybe I read too much into that part, but it does work as a story about celebrating commonalities instead of fearing differences, and in that regard it's a big success. The soft animation, complete with unfinished lines and watercolor stylings, creates an immersive and warm world, and scenes like the duo's garbage can meet-cute and a wonderfully chaotic chase with police show a diversity that the style handles with equal strength. See it with the bear (or mouse) in your life. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Making of, animatic, interview]
2014 Oscar Prediction: Best Animated Feature
Academy Awards By Neil Miller on February 28, 2014 | Comments (4)Since its inception in 2001, the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature has been awarded to a wide range of movies. Though in recent years — 5 out of the last 6, to be exact — it's basically been The Pixar Award. Despite the quality of the other contenders, Pixar seems to wrap it up without fail year-in and year-out. This year, there is no Pixar film nominated, leaving the field wide open for a bunch of newcomers. From cavemen to super-villains to ice princesses, this year's group of nominees is diverse. But does that make it a more competitive field? We explore as we break down the nominees and predict a winner (shown in red).
PIFF37 Reviews: 'The Apostle,' 'Cheatin,' and 'Ernest & Celestine'
Features By Rob Hunter on February 5, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe 37th Portland International Film Festival runs this year from February 6th to the 22nd. They're screening 104 feature films and 24 shorts across those two weeks from countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Iceland, Nepal, and Taiwan. Check out the official site for tickets and/or more details. My second look at the films playing this year's festival include three animated tales from Spain, the U.S., and France. Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises will be opening the fest this Thursday, but between its Oscar nomination and Miyazaki's apparent retirement the film is already getting more than its share of press. Plus, if I'm being honest, I wasn't actually all that impressed with it outside of the animation itself. Instead, I decided to review three other animated films more in need of the exposure. Keep reading for capsule reviews of The Apostle, Cheatin', and Ernest & Celestine, and follow all of our coverage here.
LAFF 2013 Review: 'Ernest & Celestine' Delivers a Poignant Message Through Beautiful Animation
LA Film Fest By Allison Loring on June 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEveryone knows a mouse and a bear cannot be friends. Or can they? Based on the children's books of the same name, Ernest & Celestine is a lovely tale of what friendship and understanding truly means. Celestine (voiced by Pauline Brunner) is a tiny mouse living beneath the streets in France, forced to steal teeth from the bears living above ground in order to help her fellow mice keep their incisors (apparently the one thing giving them a leg up on the bears) sharp and reliable. But things are not all easy above ground, either, as "big, monstrous" bear Ernest (voiced by Lambert Wilson) has fallen on hard times and just wants something to eat. After her attempt to steal a newly lost tooth goes terribly wrong, Celestine finds herself trapped in a trash bin until Ernest finds her during his quest for food. While Celestine seems like a tasty treat to Ernest at first, she convinces him she knows where he can get a lot more (and a lot tastier) food, a favor she later calls upon when she needs Ernest's help. Ernest may end up with a full belly and Celestine a full bag of teeth, but when it is revealed the two worked together to help each other, they are both run out of town.

Mackenzie told police that Dalvit "couldn't really see anything. He heard some yelling. As he came around, I was walking away. It seems like he has fish syndrome. As time went on, the story kept getting bigger and bigger."
(In his initial statement to police, Dalvit says Mackenzie smashed Turley's head one time against the truck and then went back to his own car when Dalvit intervened.)
Nevertheless, in the spring of 1997 Mackenzie was sentenced to two years in jail. He's also the defendant in a $500,000 civil suit brought forward by Turley. Mackenzie believes it was Turley's allegations of subsequent severe medical problems that helped contribute to his sentence.
Apparently, highway altercations can cause seemingly normal guys to flip. "Their whole personality is, they're hanging on the edge--they're an accident waiting to happen," says Sy Cohn, a California marriage counselor who says he has spent the last 34 years as a driving psychotherapist.
For Cohn, road rage is a function of a larger cultural malaise. "More and more people's lives are more and more hectic," he says. "We're conditioned to be faster, quicker, better, and it's not working. We want ourselves to be quicker, better, faster, and we're not satisfied with ourselves."
Gallagher agrees that road rage is indicative of "other frustrations impacting people's lives. When they get behind the wheel of a car, they're more aggressive, they're more empowered. It's the one area they don't want to relinquish control."
Deffenbacher says there are a number of factors that can feed into driving angry. "Some are outside the person," he says. "One is relative anonymity. We know that when people are in anonymous situations, they can do more aggressive kinds of things. Witness what happens in riots. And cars are relatively unknown."
Other researchers point out that the car is a weird hybrid of public and private space: People feel they are sovereign in their own private spaces, such as their homes, and that feeling often accompanies them when they get behind the wheel.
"Another thing about the car," Deffenbacher adds. "For some people, there's a feeling that it's an extension of them: 'If you mess with my car, you mess with me.' That also can contribute."
Deffenbacher says the "key piece is how I think about things I encounter on the road. If you perceive being cut off as a deliberate act--if I interpret that in a personalized way, then I'm going to escalate my anger against this perceived injustice."
Which is why it may be difficult to find peace on the highway anytime soon. "It's hard to come up with a comprehensive solution," Gallagher says. "People with common sense allow themselves to take on this Walter Mitty persona behind the wheel. You're going down I-25 and you don't signal a lane change, and the guy you pull in on goes ballistic, flips you off, tries to run you in a ditch."
And the more trouble drivers have controlling their anger, the more law-enforcement agencies begin to sound like counselors. A year ago, the CSP initiated a public service campaign called "Aggressive Drivers Are a Public Threat" that revolves around the two-fingered peace salute, which authorities say drivers should use as a way of saying "Thank you" or "I'm sorry" to other motorists. The two fingers are also supposed to remind people to take two seconds to fasten their seatbelts, take two breaths before starting the car and keep a two-second interval between cars.
It's questionable whether such efforts are a realistic solution to a legitimate problem or just a feel-good response to a phenomenon based on Nineties therapy-speak.
"We're seeing it some," says Powell of the "take two" idea. "The longer it goes on, the better it'll get. It's a matter of marketing. It's part of the solution, but certainly not a fix-all."
He says the key is to "get in the mindset, get comfortable, turn on the radio and enjoy the ride home."
Mizel's study also offers several tips to minimize the potential for road-rage outbreaks. If road-rage incidents themselves are ridiculous, the suggestions aren't much better.
Some are no-brainers: "Avoid the right-hand lane if you are not turning right. Do not take more than one parking space and do not park in a handicapped space if you are not handicapped. Keep headlights on low beam."
When it comes to driving on the highway, one doesn't make sense at all: "If you have an antitheft alarm on your vehicle, be sure you know how to turn it off."
Another contradicts the CSP's program, which asks motorists to use their cell phones to report dangerous drivers: "Don't let the car phone become a distraction. The data clearly show that aggressive drivers hate fender-benders with motorists who were talking on the phone."
A final suggestion asks people to ignore the deeply ingrained American idea that a car expresses its driver's identity and to set aside their First Amendment rights: "Confederate flags on pickup trucks are not a good idea. Refrain from showing any type of bumper sticker or slogan that could be offensive; this might include an 'IM RICH' license plate."

.- The 2008 annual report of the All India Christian Council has showed that it was a "horrible year" for Christians in India, who were subjected to waves of violence and attacks. The report called the constant persecution Christians were subjected to in the state of Orrisa, "ethnic cleansing" and "the fruit of Hindu-inspired terrorism."
According to the Fides news agency, the AICC report indicates that there were "106 isolated attacks against Christian persons or structures, which have affected 16 states of India, with an average of 9 acts of violence per month."
The report divides the attacks in Orissa into two phases, which it says constitute a "black page" for Indian society and for its values of democracy, freedom, pluralism and respect for individual rights.
"It is a true 'negative record' in the history of India," the report stated.
The first phase of the report, described as the fruit of "ethnic cleansing," occurred "at the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, when Hindu extremist groups attacked the Christian community, destroying 105 churches, killing 9 Christians, assaulting and raping women, burning more than 730 rooms and damaging 40 businesses."
The report says that the second phase began on August 23, 2008 and was the "fruit of Hindu-inspired terrorism." This period of persecution saw 120 deaths (including a Catholic priest), 4640 destroyed homes, 315 towns in which the Christian presence was completely wiped out, 250 churches and places of prayer destroyed or damaged, 13 Christian schools looted, and more than 54,000 people made internal refugees.

Woman answers to
charge in crash
A Brandon woman who police say was in a near head-on crash on Route 7 denied a pair of criminal charges on Monday.
Cheryl L. Barrows, 48, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of drugs, second offense, and a charge of careless or negligent operation.
Barrows was arrested following a crash in November in which Pittsford police say her station wagon veered into the southbound lane of the two-lane highway and collided with the side of a pickup travelling south.
The driver of that truck, Brian Hitchako, 60, of Ballston Spa, N.Y., told police that the station wagon would have struck his vehicle head-on if he had not steered onto the roads shoulder at the last moment.
Police say a blood-alcohol test of Barrows came back clean. But Barrows told police she had taken a variety of prescription drugs before she drove and was described as being on the verge of falling asleep while she was interviewed at the hospital.MORE IN This Just In(Editor's note: This is the first in a five-part series looking into the investigation of...

A newer version of Start8 is available.
Or, Learn More About Start8Outstanding
Full user review
"Fantastic: This is how Windows 8 should be!"
I tried very hard to get used to the Microsoft "Metro" interface, which I find beautifully designed and not difficult to use.
However it is an indisputable fact that, when working with keyboard and mouse on desktop apps, "Metro" is simply less efficient. Some common tasks (e.g. looking for files) require more key presses than using the original Start menu in Windows 7.
After weeks of intense "Metro" usage, and after hundreds of extra key presses, I decided that the beautiful interface was not worth the extra time I kept spending in my daily tasks.
I have tried essentially every Start menu replacement out there, but only Start8 matches the efficiency of Microsoft's version, which had reached an amazing level of perfection over the years. Stardock's Start8 menu really brings the Start menu back to Windows 8, making it the best OS Microsoft has produced so far.Cons
None. Start8 simply matches Microsoft's Start menu in Windows 7.

how come these line numbers appear? what exactly tell php to make'em?
PHP Code:// Get a file into an array. In this example we'll go through HTTP to get
// the HTML source of a URL.
$lines = file ('http://www.example.com/');
// Loop through our array, show html source as html source; and line numbers too.
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $line) {
echo "Line #{$line_num} : " . htmlspecialchars($line) . "
\n";

It's just the way the foreach loop works with sequential arrays. On each iteration, the key of the current key-value pair is mapped to $line_num, whereas the value (the line itself) is in $line.
So what are the keys of a sequential array (i.e. an array only with numerical indices, like $file[0], $file[1],... in our examle)?
Answer: The numerical index is the key. And just looking at the syntax makes it clear that it carries some sense with it, because you use either a string as a key to get at a field, or a number.
That's why using a foreach loop with numerical indices "works" in your example, and it can be applied to other code problems in PHP too.

correct me if i'm wrong, but that code appears to start at line 0, which will throw off any line number by 1....

It was pouring last Wednesday as I drove home, the cold rain painting the winter landscape a dull grey. Standing on the sidewalk outside the Haywood County Courthouse was a single peace protester, his raincoat losing the battle against the forces of nature. The lone sentinel was from a group that has stood watch each Wednesday at the courthouse for years, I believe since a short time after the Iraq invasion in March 2003. I think on this day it was Doug Wingeier, a peace activist who has penned letters and guest columns in this paper and others, a man who has traveled the world to promote peace and understanding, a person whom I've admired from afar for years.
I usually honk in solidarity with the protesters. It would be incorrect to label myself a pacifist, but I certainly identify with those who advocate an end to war and the settling of political divisions that send too many people to early graves from bombs, bullets, starvation or sickness. I also tap on my horn as a symbol of support for these individuals themselves, who with their stoic, multi-year vigil are a living example of standing up for one's ideals.
On this day, however, I almost missed Doug and therefore did not get to acknowledge his efforts. I also didn't have time to read his sign, so I don't know what it may have said. I could see the magic marker running down the cardboard, though, reminding me of a mother's tear-streaked eye make-up.
It was the news on the radio that had my attention. U.S. Marines had been videotaped pissing on the bodies of insurgents they (presumably) had killed in Afghanistan. The news had just broke, so condemnation was pouring in from U.S. government and foreign leaders. Inhumane. Disgraceful. Deplorable. I had watched the video prior to leaving the office, and it was painful to watch the smirking young soldiers do the deed.
I won't talk about how idiotic these soldiers were for taking part in this episode and then for letting it be filmed. They deserve to be reprimanded, perhaps court-martialed. We can rest assured the military will take stern measures.
Most Americans know nothing of war, don't even know what it's like as civilians to make sacrifices for a war effort. The latter is, in its own way, shameful. We can read books and watch video footage and get the idea, but that's not real. When it's your life or the guy in the bunker across the valley, or when a friend is in mortal danger, things happen. You act, and what you do may not leave a sense of pride, but you just do it. I grew up in a military town as Vietnam was ending, and I had many very good friends with fathers who were just never right after that war. They had lost something, and many of those men are reaching the end of their lives still trying to get it back.
Wars are promulgated by leaders in nice suits sitting in soft chairs in Kabul and Washington, by warlords in the Middle East fighting for a way of life in a place where most have never experienced what Americans know as freedom. They are the ones who put those young Marines out in the desert where all they can do is try to survive and find their way home, where mistakes will be made, and we would do well to remember that before throwing out blanket condemnations.
War is inhumane, disgraceful, deplorable. Those peace activists standing out there in front of the Haywood County Courthouse every Wednesday trying to get our politicians to end these wars have been trying to tell us that for all these years.

I'm planning on buying pre-made curtain panels for my living room and dining room (I think). We have standard 8-foot ceilings with crown molding. The top of the window frame is about 82-83 inches from the floor. I like the look of curtains that just skim the floor and are hung high and wide. But the problem is that most pre-made curtains come in 84" or 96" and are either too short or too long. At first, I thought I would get the 84" panels and hang them with rings/clips so that the rod is about 4" +/- above the window frame. But I'm wondering if I should get the 96" panels and hem the bottom. I originally was planning on making my own curtains, but it's just time consuming with kids, work, and getting a new house in order (especially now with all the yard work). And I still haven't found a fabric I like that is reasonably priced. I may end up still making the curtains in the dining room since they aren't standard windows (about 80" wide) and I find that the 54" width for pre-made curtains is not full enough and I'm not sure what you do if you buy 2 panels for each side of the window (do you leave them separate or sew them together?). Also, these panels would be mostly decorative. I was thinking about using sheers or lace behind them and using these to filter the sunlight coming in. Is it dated to have sheers/lace behind panels? Any advice would be appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've been trying to figure this one out, as well! Replacing curtains in the dining area and game room. The ceiling in the dining area is only 93", so I"m going with 95" panels and will have to hem them. Both rooms have windows that are 70" and 95" and I want them to split in the center and stack on the outside. That means four panels on the 70" window and six on the 95". That's a lot of panels, but I don't really see another way to do it without going custom-made. I will not be sewing panels together, and don't think it's necessary unless you are going for a true blackout. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 17:48
Do you need light control? Privacy? I would get the longer panels, hang them below the crown and shorten them if necessary.. You can do dummy panels on the sides so you would only need one panel on each side. A more modern look would be wooden shades or roman shades vs. the sheers. I'm linking another thread below that gives lots of pics and ideas for window treatments....you may find it helpful. |
Here is a link that might be useful: window treatment ideas
I would also do the longer panels and hem. I had to do that in my daughter's room. My feeling is if you are going to invest in them at all, might as well get the height you want, even if it will cost you a bit more. Regarding width, I would sew them together, so that you have less fussing when you want to close them. Of course, you can go with the dummy panels as Annie suggested. I would also do the wooden or roman vs. sheers. |
I'm generally a no window treatments person, but I do have them on my two sliders. With 9 ft. ceilings I like to hang them fairly high. Recently I bought a pair of Ikea Ritva cotton panels 98" long for the ridiculous price of $25 for the pair. I adore them. I washed them before even starting to get any shrinkage out of the way. Although I hung them at 92", they were still too long, so I just folded them over and ran up a hem. That's about the extent of my sewing abilities. Ritva curtains have cool tabs on the back for your rod. I'm done forever with pockets. Or you can use rings with clips, also an easy solution. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a couple of sets and pair them up on both sides for a longer window or if you want a more fabric-y look. |
What color did you get, Linelle? And do you have a picture. None of the colors online looked right to me, but I wasn't sure if they have more available in the store. |
Errant, I got white. It's a creamy white, but unless you want a total polar white, they read white. This shows how the little tabs in back make soft pleats: Up close: There is a square pattern running through it that really only shows if you look at them very closely. The light was bright outside and you can see that it lets light through but pretty much provides privacy. |
I have looked through all those great pictures of WT, Annie! I keep going back to scroll through them. Thanks! We don't need the privacy, but it would be great to have something for light control since we have hardwood floors and a lot of wood furniture that would benefit from some sort of treatment to protect them from the light. The panels I have for the both rooms are 84", which are too short, so I may have to exchange them for the 96" ones. The problem is that they are silk/faux silk with interlining and lining. So they're fairly thick and will require a good amount of rework if I need to hem them or sew panels together. But I guess I need to do something even if I get them from the store. My furniture and style is more traditional - a lot of Hepplewhite, Federal, and Sheraton style furniture. So I'm not really looking for a modern look. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 20:21
What are the tops like? Sometimes it's easier to shorten them from the top if it isn't too fussy. Or you can shorten them intentionally above the hem and add a ribbon or braid to hide the seam...if it works with your room. |
Ah, good idea, Annie! The tops are optional rod pocket or back tabs and should be easier to hem than the bottom hems, especially since I plan to use rings to hang them. Thanks! Would the dummy panels look funny if they are each 54" wide but the window is 80" wide? Would they look too skimpy even though I don't plan on closing them? |
- Posted by jujubean71 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, May 14, 14 at 22:41
linelle, where did you purchase your curtains? |
linelle's curtains are from Ikea - Ritva curtains. |
jujubean71, Ikea, Ritva curtains, ridiculously inexpensive and just as nice as Pottery Barn panels for 1/3 the price. |
Get the longest length you can and hem to the needed length. In my experience most ready made curtains are not the same length. What I mean is if there are two panels per pack you will most likely find one panel is longer than the other, sometimes by inches! Another vote for Ikea. I have the Lenda panels and they are so nice and only $20 per pair. I think they are 98" length and each panel is about 58" wide. Very easy to hem an inch or two. I actually used the iron on hemming tape. Very easy! And the quality is very nice. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Thu, May 15, 14 at 7:02
No, it doesn't look funny to have dummy panels that are narrower than the window...if they are 54" wide and you are stacking them back over say 15" they will still be plenty full looking. You want them to be over at most half the width or less. |
Thanks for posting those, Linelle. They do look nice, but I'd need to add a liner for warmth. The panels I just received are a faux silk, with liner and interliner… probably the same ones you just bought, tam! They are really nice, but I was dreading hemming all 10 panels. I think I'll try doing it from the top, as Annie suggested :) |
I returned my 84" panels and exchanged them for the 95" ones. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. Errant - which panels did you get? I think I'll be getting my DR panels from JCP. They're a good deal and a perfect color. It's also the faux silk with interlining and lining. I'm thinking about stitching French pleats at the top while I'm hemming them. |
Also from JCP, on sale. The dining room curtains are Royal Velvet Encore, in Gray Umbra. I have the same two large windows in the game room, and those are the Huckleberry color. 10 panels in each room, but only the dining room will need to be hemmed. I was also considering doing pleats, but still undecided. |

Why can't computers think?
With increasingly advanced computers being developed all the time Artificial Intelligence is no longer the reserve of science fiction novels. However, it has so far remained impossible to develop a computer which can fool humans into thinking it is also human. It's thought processes have not lacked complexity but what is it that sets human thought apart from that of a computer?
In 2009 the Leobner Competition asked people to enter into a conversation to see if a computer could fool the judges into thinking it is human through its replies. This competition will be contested at the end of the week in Brighton. Click here for the link to an interview with last years winner.
What questions would you ask to decide whether the responses you were getting were computer generated? How would you decide?
