Applying 'Moderation' to Wikipedia (869 comments)
Wouldn't it be possible to apply a moderation system to Wikipedia, ala Slashdot, where authors gain karma/credibity points when others vote for them?
Alternatively, couldn't there be a rating system on the posts?
Or are these suggestions somehow anathema to the Wiki concept?
Just a few thoughts...

File Transfer Speeds
In our file transfer test, we use a single 4GB ISO file and transfer it from test system one to our second test system via the network. To eliminate any bottlenecks, each system is utilizing a Corsair Neutron 256GB SSD.
File transfer testing for the WRT1900AC went quite well. At 2.4GHz 20MHz, we topped out at 10.4 MB/s, which puts it next to the RTA15 from Amped and the 868L from DLink. Next, we moved on to 40MHz where we landed at 32.5 MB/s, making the WRT1900AC the quickest on the charts. Over on 5GHz, we start with 20MHz and land at 25.6 MB/s, again the quickest on our charts.
40MHz claimed 46.7 MB/s, once again the quickest in the chart. Then we hit 80MHz where the R7000 shined; sadly, the WRT1900AC couldn't muster enough to top the 96.3 MB/s of the Netgear, but we did grab 80.9 MB/s, which made it the second quickest.
Final Thoughts
The Linksys WRT1900AC is surely right up there with the Netgear R7000 when it comes to the best-looking router. The classic design spruced up with modern lines really makes this unit stand out. Accompanying the design, we also have excellent build quality, and one thing is for sure: this router is a beast. I'd hazard to say it weighs more than the Netgear R7000 thanks to the massive heat sinks used internally.
Performance of the router was exceptional, and if it wasn't for that pesky Netgear R7000, it would definitely be the top router in every chart. Alas, the unit does perform well where it matters. We have top-notch wireless throughput, and wired throughput is chart leading.
In addition to the performance of the router, the WRT does carry a plethora of features, but the number one in my mind is the inevitable support for OpenWRT, DDWRT, and possibly Tomato. Back when the WRT54G was king, people gobbled those up just for the ability to use DDWRT, leading Linksys to release the GS just for that purpose, so it's definitely great to see Linksys openly supporting use of third party firmware.
This is not to say that the included "stock" firmware isn't good; it's really one of the most user-friendly firmware Linksys has ever used. Everything is laid out in a manner that allows you to see and configure everything rather easy. Of course, then we have the network map, allowing you to see what's connected and the built-in speed test to put the icing on this very awesome router from Linksys.
MSRP for the Linksys WRT1900AC is listed at $279.99 with a one-year warranty.

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

Man in tree causes major train disruption in south east London
A burglary suspect has been up a tree in Charlton since 2am causing major travel disruption ithroughout south-east London.
Police are negotiating with the man, who is believed to be on a tree overhanging the line.
Southeastern has stopped all train services going into London and services heading out are subject to delays and cancellations.
A spokeswoman for the company said: "It's having quite a big impact. Diversions and cancellations are in place on the route through Woolwich Arsenal and Charlton.
"We've arranged for passengers' tickets to be accepted on DLR and buses to get round the incident because the train overhangs the line."
A British Transport Police spokesman said officers were called at 2am to reports of a trespasser on the tracks.
"Colleagues from the Metropolitan Police Service and London Ambulance Service are also in attendance," said the spokesman.
"The man is currently still on the scene, and specialist officers are talking to him in order to resolve the situation."

Allison Mooney: Jeans search comes apart at the seams
Should the search for jeans that both fit and flatter be more stressful than the search for a two-piece swimsuit, or even a used car?
Perhaps the bigger question is if such jeans really exist, or if they're simply another fashion myth such as comfortable heels and one size fits all? Curious, and in desperate need of new jeans, I vowed to find out once and for all.
My fact-finding mission began at jean mecca — the mall.
"Can I help you find something?" inquired an eager saleswoman.
Sure you can, I thought, I'm seeking the ever-elusive pair of "perfect jeans." I want a waistline that doesn't gap and that falls below mom jean territory, but above all critical territories, even when bending — nay, especially when bending.
They need to have just enough stretch to accommodate a pizza buffet, but not so much stretchiness that they suction or cling. I don't want "skinny" or "boyfriend" anything, and I'm going to have to pass on rips, intentional or otherwise. Do you still think you can help?
She thought she could, as did several other dauntless women that day. I ventured into the dressing rooms of six stores with 20-25 pair of jeans of varying styles, sizes and washes. Despite my manifesto against skinny jeans, I allowed one particularly persuasive saleswoman to slip a pair into one of those dressing rooms. "Skinny jeans" turned out to be a misnomer, as they made me feel anything but skinny.
Two hours later, I left the mall empty-handed and in serious need of chocolate. I vowed never to return — well, for at least a week.
Insatiable curiosity and a continued need for new jeans ultimately weakened my half-hearted mall strike. Nine days later, I returned with an open mind, renewed determination and a "sudden death" time limit of 30 minutes. After all, there's only so much retail shopping any woman can endure in the name of science.
I grabbed the first pair of jeans I saw in the first store I entered like a preschooler vying for the lone seat in a heated game of musical chairs — madly, and with a tad more force than necessary. A (justifiably) leery saleswoman led me to the dressing room for what I considered my last chance for success.
The disbelief I felt when I finally got the nerve to look in the mirror was no less than if I had just witnessed a purple unicorn running through the store. At long last I had found them — the elusive pair of jeans that fit me and all my criteria. I had accomplished my mission. I had proven that perfect jeans do exist. But as often happens, the answer led to more questions.
If perfect jeans exist, could comfortable heels possibly be more than just fiction? Stranger yet, could one size possibly fit all?
For now, I'm content to speculate. Some tests are best left to others — especially those involving 4-inch heels and the potential for podiatric peril.

I have always wanted a nice scope so yesterday I bought a Nightforce 3.5-15X50 NSX Zero Stop and mounted it on my M700 Mil Spec 5R .308 with a Warne 20 MOA base and Nightforce rings. It may not improve my shooting at 66 yo but at least I have one now. I set up the sled on my back deck this morning and bore sighted it at about 50 yds and tomorrow I will take it to the range and zero it at 100 yds. Maybe next week if the wind calms down some and it warms up a bit, I will go back to the hunting camp and take the combo into the woods for one last time this year. The cold doesn't bother me too much, but combined with a 20 mph wind, I just can't handle it.

Selected for Common Reading at Clarkson University
A New York Times Notable Book of 2013
Since its initial publication in Holland in 2009, Herman Koch's psychologically astute and philosophically challenging The Dinner has become a much-discussed international bestseller.
Two couples meet for dinner at a high-end restaurant in Amsterdam to address a tragic event: a terrible crime has been committed, and it seems the two fifteen-year-old sons of the two couples are implicated. A police investigation is under way, and the comfortable, insulated worlds of the families are coming apart at the seams. Over the course of the meal, and the novel, civility and friendship disintegrate, as the parents make clear what they are willing to do to protect their children from the consequences of their actions.
This controversial tale of families struggling to make the hardest decision of their lives exposes philosophical and social hypocrisies in which we are all, to a degree, complicit. The popularity of the book speaks to the universal nature of the ethical dilemmas it examines: How far would you go to protect a loved one, even if he or she has committed an unspeakably horrible act?
The Dinner is currently one of the most popular books among teenagers in Holland, perhaps because they can relate to the ethical dilemmas that result from the senseless crime committed by a member of their own peer group. The book is also relevant to adolescent readers in that it explores the dark side of connectivity, including YouTube and texting, as well as the generation gap between young people and their parents.
The book ultimately forces the reader to confront his or her own deeply held convictions and moral values.
"This chilling novel starts out as a witty look at contemporary manners . . . before turning into a take-no-prisoners psychological thriller. . . . With dark humor, Koch dramatizes the lengths to which people will go to preserve a comfortable way of life . . . this is a cunningly crafted thriller that will never allow you to look at a serviette in the same way again." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Facts and Figures: Leadership and Political Participation
Women in parliaments
- Only 21.9 per cent of national parliamentarians were female as of 1 December 2014, a slow increase from 11.3 per cent in 1995 [1].
- As of January 2015, 10 women served as Head of State and 15 served as Head of Government [2].
- Rwanda had the highest number of women parliamentarians worldwide. Women there have won 63.8 per cent of seats in the lower house [3].
- Globally, there are 37 States in which women account for less than 10 per cent of parliamentarians in single or lower houses, as of December 2014 [4].
Across regions
- Wide variations remain in the average percentages of women parliamentarians in each region, across all chambers (single, lower and upper houses). As of December 2014, these were: Nordic countries, 42 per cent; Americas, 26 per cent; Europe excluding Nordic countries, 23.6 per cent; sub-Saharan Africa, 21.8 per cent; Asia, 18.3 per cent; the Middle East and North Africa, 16.0 per cent; and the Pacific, 15.3 per cent. [5].
Other domains of government
- As of January 2014, only 17 per cent of government ministers were women, with the majority overseeing social sectors, such as education and the family [6].
- Women's representation in local governments has made a difference. Research on panchayats (local councils) in India discovered that the number of drinking water projects in areas with female-led councils was 62 per cent higher than in those with male-led councils. In Norway, a direct causal relationship between the presence of women in municipal councils and childcare coverage was found [7].
Expanding participation
- 30 per cent is widely considered an important benchmark for women's representation. As of January 2014, 39 single or lower houses were composed of more than 30 per cent women, including 11 in Africa and 8 in Latin America [8]. Out of the 39 countries, 32 had applied some form of quotas opening space for women's political participation. Specifically, 13 use legislative candidate quotas; 6 use reserve seats; and in a further 10, parties have adopted voluntary quotas [9].
- In countries with proportional electoral systems, women hold 25.2 per cent of the seats. This compares with 19.6 per cent using the plurality-majority electoral system, and 22.7 per cent using a mixed system [10].
- More women in politics does not necessarily correlate with lower levels of corruption, as is often assumed. Rather, democratic and transparent politics is correlated with low levels of corruption, and the two create an enabling environment for more women to participate [11].

The new Day Jobs feature coming with City of Heroes Issue 13: Power and Responsibility has caught the imagination of many of the roleplaying crew, but some other players are unsure what to make of it. Designer Phil Zeleski has provided some insight into how the feature works and what sorts of rewards players can get from using it.
Put simply, the CoX Day Job system allows players to log out from a specific location (like a hospital or vault) and when they return to play, after an extended log out period, they will gain a temporary power or some other benefit. With the exception of badges and accolades, the benefits either last for a limited time or have a limited number of uses before they are used up. However, you can replenish the benefit by logging out in the same area. Most rewards need 10 days of logged out time to hit the maximum benefit.
There are a total of twelve possible logout locations for Heroes, and the same number for Villains. For example, a Hero can work as an Intern by logging out in the lobbies of Portal Corp, with the associated reward being a large inspiration on Mission Complete. A villain can work as a Demagogue (maybe 'work' is the wrong word here - it seems everyone else would do the work in this case) by logging out in the Arachnos building in Port Oakes, and would get an Influence reward on Mission Complete in recompense.
The rewards seem surprisingly generous, with many adding something extra on Mission Complete; and yes, there is a Bonus XP reward, for working as a Law Enforcer or Arachnos Agent. Once a character has been logged out at a given location for a total of 30 days, which of course needn't be consecutive, they earn a badge associated with the Day Job. Earning a badge increases the rate at which characters earn benefits, as well as the potency of these benefits.
Earning multiple badges, as we knew, unlocks Accolades. You gain an Accolade by earning two Day Job badges that work together. For example, you unlock the Police Chief accolade by earning the Law Enforcer badge along with the City Official badge, and that in turn grants a Baton power (smashing damage and a chance to stun). So players don't have to guess, each Day Job badge you earn gives you information about which badges you need for which associated Accolades. Some of the powers look formidable: AoE hold, Ally Resurrect, Ally Heal. They can be 'recharged' by logging off in the location associated with one of the contributing badges.
As if all of this wasn't enough to whet appetites, City of Heroes/Villains is also including a form of rested XP. Every character is considered to be 'On Patrol' (or the villain equivalent) after they log out. Logging back in earns you one bar of double XP for defeating enemies for every 24 hours spent logged out, up to a total of 10 bars of double experience. The double XP shows up as a blue portion of the XP bar. XP debt, if applicable, is burned off first before any double XP is applied.
Players are prompted when they're in a Day Job location. For example, on visiting a hospital, you'd see an icon appear under your health bar. So, it won't take characters long to find themselves a suitable Day Job; and there are also costumes associated with them.
It may seem odd to want to reward players for being logged out, but City of Heroes encourages 'altitis' more than any other game we've known. You can't play all your characters all the time. Although badge collectors would probably find it nigh impossible to collect all the badges on a single character, this looks like a very original way to keep players rotating the characters they play, check on characters they haven't played in a while, and add some depth to their character concepts.

Man, am I glad I re-upped for Co... The devs need to get some real recognition for not only bringing us a "break from the norm" MMO in a market of high fantasy, but also for coming up with these great ideas.
Bravo, Co... Team...Bra-VO.

I've long maintained to friends that CoH is the best MMO out there. WoW may get the big numbers, but the fun I've experienced playing CoX was not matched playing WoW. The playing community and the developers all love and enjoy the game; and that kind of dedication makes the playing experience unique.

i just find the whole concept odd you get stuff for not playing the game......

The "stuff" you get is a result of doing a specific task (logging out at place X) over a period of time (30 days). There are small benefits for logging at the place while offline. but nothing earth-shattering. After achieving 2 badges for the day job feature, you combine them for a special power or buff.
i mean, it is not like you are getting free cookies and ice cream, or some extra money in your mailbox, for not playing. You get a reward for doing something (logging in one place). Not NOT doing something.

I liked the idea until I read you basically need to "recharge" any of the benefits. If I read it correctly, even after you get the Day Job badge, you would need to spend 8-10 days offline to get the bonus for 2 hours of play. I'm ok with that on the temp powers such as the baton or ally heal but for the extra movement speed, extra salvage drop at end of mission, extra influence, etc., I don't really like it. I think I will wait until it goes Live and read player feedback on how useful it actually is. Considering it takes 30 days to get each Day Job badge and there are 12 badges listed at this time, I would hope some of those "extras" would be permanently on.

Aden and Anais Muslin Blankets
10 Celeb Mamas Who Really Love Their Muslin Blankets
Wrap them up! The swaddling world was taken by storm when Raegan Moya-Jones brought her muslin blankets to the US in 2004. In a few short years, Aden and Anais's 100 percent cotton, stretchy, breathable wraps became the standard by which all blankets were compared. Their ability to maintain warmth without overheating a newborn (not to mention their large size) has made them a favorite of moms around the world — especially celebrity moms.
When Jessica Alba was spotted pushing baby Haven outside last week, she became the latest in a long line of Hollywood moms to use the versatile blankets to do everything from swaddle to protect their babies from the paparazzi's prying eyes. Take a look at 10 other celebs who have chosen the Australian brand to comfort their tots!

I have a problem with wet clay soil, in full sun in my back yard. I need something in the front of the boarder. At present I have Louisiana Irises, Monarda, Lobelia, day lilies, but need something low that flowers and likes it very moist. Any suggestions will be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Creeping Jenny is great, although the flowers aren't too thrilling. I like the yellowish green variety. Chameleon plant is great if you don't mind REALLY invasive. |
I'll definitely second watergal on the creeping jenny -- and it is such a lovely plant, who cares if it ever flowers. But the chameleon (houttuynia) is invasive even under dry conditions (I love invasives in general, and have some houttuynia in my rock garden) ~~ if kept moist, it turns into The Monster that Ate The Garden. After it finishes covering the flowerbed, it'll eat the lawn, too. Rather than a groundcover, how about one of the dwarf grasses -- there's a carex that loves it wet Pat |

Mazus reptans has worked well for me in these conditions. It flowers purple or white ('alba') mostly in the spring, with some intermittent summer flowers. I actually have this mixed in with the yellow ('aurea') creeping jenny that watergal mentions above, so there is bright color even when there are no flowers. I think that Vinca minor, which also flowers in spring, would also do okay in your conditions. Both the creeping jenny and the vinca minor spread quickly, but are fairly easy to keep in check in my yard by pulling here and there. In a completely different vein (annual), I wonder if New Guinea impatiens -- i.e., the kind that like sun -- would mind wet feet; might be something to explore, if flowers rather than foliage is the main concern. Good luck. |
Might try ceratostigma plumbaginoides. Fall flowering with red foliage color. I love it and it will do well in wet sunny sites. |

This was quick and easy. I don't eat tuna regularly, especially canned, I'm not a huge fan. My Boyfriend brought home a ton of canned tuna and I've been trying to find recipes that don't involve mayo (yuck). I added oregano and grated some garlic with the tomatoes. I also added some balsamic vinegar to the onions. After assembling the toast I put it under the broiler and melted some goat cheese on top.

With children heading back to school, and families reorienting themselves to this routine, I've seen an increase in parents who are sorting through this transition in therapy. Lately, I've spent time with women who are preparing for the stress that comes with managing their households during the school year. Increases in anxiety, frustration, stress, along with feeling more overwhelmed that what is normal are common issues for primary caretakers in families this time of year.
We've been focusing lately on transitioning children--launching them into the school year successfully--now it's time for me to share a couple of insights for parents. Here are some tips that will help you begin your fall in a way that leaves you feeling good about yourself.

Scoot McNairy Will Re-Team with Brad Pitt in '12 Years a Slave'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on May 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentScoot McNairy and Brad Pitt recently tag teamed Cannes with Killing Them Softly, which is apparently pretty good. Unsurprisingly.So it's probably unsurprising that the pair are going to be working together again in Steve McQueen's Twelve Years a Slave. Speaking of people who love working together, the film stars Michael Fassbender as a plantation owner who buys a free man (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. According to Variety, McNairy will be playing a "shrewd circus worker" who has his eye on selling a free man as a slave. Hopefully McNairy can sell cabbage-smelling hands in a medium without scent.
Cruel Paul Dano to Return in Steve McQueen's 'Twelve Years A Slave'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on May 21, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWe'll soon be seeing Paul Dano starring in cutesy romance Ruby Sparks (co-starring alongside his own real life lady love, Zoe Kazan, who also penned the screenplay), but as wonderful as a sweet Dano is, there's something much better: a cruel Dano. While a lot of the praise for P.T. Anderson's There Will Be Blood went (quite deservedly) to Daniel Day-Lewis for his yowling, evil performance as Daniel Plainview, Dano was just as terrifying (and just as unhinged) as Eli Sunday. Something about seeing Dano's generally welcoming face twisted up into snarls and howls and screams was viciously unsettling, and it's been too long since we've seen that side of him. Deadline Franklin reports that's no longer the case, as we'll soon be gifted with a particularly cruel Dano in Steve McQueen's Twelve Years A Slave, where he will play a slave owner who "brutalizes" Chiwetel Ejiofor's character, a free man who is abducted into the Louisiana slave trade. Dano will, in fact, just be one of the evil owners, but his performance will likely be a stand-out. He and Ejiofor will also be joined in the film by McQueen's consistent star, Michael Fassbender, along with Brad Pitt.
Culture Warrior: The Something or Whatever About Good and Bad Ambiguity
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 17, 2012 | Comments (7)Ambiguity is no stranger to the arthouse film. Over fifty years after a group of daytrippers never found their lost shipmate in Antonioni's L'Avventura, the ambiguous ending still retains the power to frustrate, confuse, anger, and challenge viewers. Continued controversies over ambiguity in narrative films point to Hollywood's enduring dominance over the notion that films must be coherent and contain closure. However, the convention of closure can be a maddening limitation for filmmakers who intend to ask questions with no easy answers, or pose problems with no clear solutions (assuming that such answers or solutions exist in the first place). But ambiguity can take on a variety of forms, and with different degrees of effectiveness. Sometimes a film's ambiguous hole can be more fulfilling and thought-provoking than any convention of linear causality in its place, but at other points ambiguity can become a handicap, or a gap that simply feels like a gap. Here are a few films from the past year that engage in several modes of intended ambiguity.
Culture Warrior: The Allure of Horrible Protagonists
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 4, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWarning: This article contains spoilers for Young Adult, Shame, and The Descendants. 2011's holiday movie season ended the year with a barrage of relatively conventional heroes. From Ethan Hunt saving the world from yet another MacGuffin to Sherlock Holmes solving an additional mystery to a cyberpunk and a journalist battling wealthy Swedish career-misogynist neo-Nazis, December was packed with varied iterations of good triumphing over its clearly delineated evil opposition. In contrast, the holiday season's slate of smaller-scale filmmaking brought forth several protagonists who function in strict contrast to your conventional hero. These protagonists are (decidedly) so toxic, broken, unheroic, and even unlikeable that they can't even be deemed antiheroes. These characters (to varying degrees of success) challenge the assumed connection that filmic convention makes between the "main character" and the "film itself" by presenting protagonists who don't triumph over adversity, who don't fight or win a "good" battle, and who frankly don't warrant an act of rooting. These protagonists trip up an oft-unquestioned notion conditioned by cinematic tradition: that films should serve as a means of rooting for a clearly demarcated, pre-telegraphed, unassailable idea of goodness. These are three protagonists that we aren't often asked to spend ninety minutes with.
Year In Review: The Top 11 Trends, Topics, and Debates of 2011
2011 Year In Review By Landon Palmer on December 28, 2011 | Comments (1)Usually I'm quite cynical about end-of-year lists, as they demand a forced encapsulation of an arbitrary block of time that is not yet over into something simplified. I typically find end-of-year lists fun, but rarely useful. But 2011 is different. As Scott Tobias pointed out, while "quiet," this was a surprisingly strong year for interesting and risk-taking films. What's most interesting has been the variety: barely anything has emerged as a leading contender that tops either critics' lists or dominates awards buzz. Quite honestly, at the end of 2010 I struggled to find compelling topics, trends, and events to define the year in cinema. The final days of 2011 brought a quite opposite struggle, for this year's surprising glut of interesting and disparate films spoke to one another in a way that makes it difficult to isolate any of the year's significant works. Arguments in the critical community actually led to insightful points as they addressed essential questions of what it means to be a filmgoer and a cinephile. Mainstream Hollywood machine-work and limited release arthouse fare defied expectations in several directions. New stars arose. Tired Hollywood rituals and ostensibly reliable technologies both met new breaking points. "2011" hangs over this year in cinema, and the interaction between the films – and the events and conversations that surrounded them – makes this year's offerings particular to their time and subject to their context. This is what I took away from this surprising year:
Interview: Steve McQueen Discusses Unspoken Emotions and the Importance of Movies
Features By Jack Giroux on December 7, 2011 | Be the First To CommentMaterial similar to Shame, to break it down immaturely, could easily falter into emotion porn. With a story about a self-loathing sex addict, overwrought drama is easy to give into, even with the slightest lack of subtlety. This could be one of those films where characters are emotionally tortured for the sake of torture, one that revels in its characters problems. Co-writer and director Steve McQueen, who is surely aware of the dramatic trickiness of Shame, takes a more sensitive and observant approach. McQueen uses his distant and precise framing to create the atmosphere and world Brandon's created, not to draw attention to himself as a filmmaker. This, among many other topics, is what I recently discussed with the press tour-exhausted filmmaker. Here's what Steve McQueen had to say about internal writing, powerful expressions, capturing beautiful butterflies, and why films can be important:
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 2, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on December 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr walks around his apartment naked, rents out hookers of various shapes and sizes then tries to pick up married women on a subway. He figures if it's good enough for Michael Fassbender in Steve McQueen's Shame, then it's good enough for anyone. Of course, this leads Kevin to spending most of the rest of the day weeping in his birthday suit. Shaking off the humiliation, he decides to take in some culture and give Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus a gander, being one of them Shakespeare pictures and all. Unfortunately, he never stops giggling about the name of the movie long enough to decipher all of the fancy Elizabethan language, and Kevin ends up weeping again, curled up naked in his shower.
Aural Fixation: The Sound of Sex Addiction and Other 'Shame'-ful Secrets
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on December 1, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhen it comes to director/screenwriter Steve McQueen and screenwriter Abi Morgan's film about living a life of secrets (and what it does to those who carry them), much more is said with their characters' actions than any of the words that pass through their lips. Even more so when it seems most of the words that are said are unreliable and laced with the feeling that they are not simply lies, but lies each are telling themselves. Shame shows us a complicated and layered world that is both enticing and chilling, begging the question – what kind of music would underscore and accompany these distinctive moments? A mix of score (by composer Harry Escott), piano concertos (as performed by Glenn Gould), jazz (John Coltrane and Chet Baker) and popular music (from Tom Tom Club, Blondie and Chic) come together to create a musical landscape that is both sexy and unsettling while also deeply sad, troubling, and (at times) terrifying. Escott begins the film with an almost mournful-sounding orchestration (aptly titled "Brandon") as we focus in on our lead, Brandon (Michael Fassbender), lying in bed with a mix of emotions already playing across his face. The piece is driven by an unrelenting ticking which immediately gives you the sense that this is not a place of rest as we begin to realize Brandon's addiction to nighttime rendezvous may not be the only thing keeping him awake. Brandon never seems able to rest or relax. If he is not out getting his sexual fix, […]
Review: Michael Fassbender and His 'Shame' Burn Through the Screen
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on November 29, 2011 | Comments (2)Years from now, cinephiles and film fans will likely remember the stipulations that brought Steve McQueen's Shame to regular, film-going audiences after running through film festivals like some men go through women. McQueen himself reportedly told prospective buyers two things – it had to stay uncut (thus guaranteeing that fearful NC-17 rating) and they would have to push lead actor Michael Fassbender for recognition come awards season. The film has stayed uncut, and Fassbender won't need a back cover For Your Consideration ad for viewers to recognize that he's turned in the most brave (and bare) performance of the year. McQueen and Fassbender have reteamed for their second feature with Shame (following 2008's Hunger, a similarly wrenching film that established both men as talents to watch), and the film only cements their bond and shared aesthetic – one that film fans should be eternally anxious to see more of. Fassbender plays Brandon Sullivan, a handsome Manhattanite whose seemingly normal exterior shields his true self, one driven almost entirely by his out-of-control addiction to sex. McQueen approaches his subject in an almost clinical manner – using Sean Bobbitt's stunning cinematography to observe Brandon in his natural environment, as it were, a predator amongst prey. As the film progresses, it becomes more and more obvious (and more and more unsettling) that Brandon is not "safe" around any woman. He leers at women on the subway, gets a touch too close physically to his own kin, manhandles a perfect stranger in a bar […]
New 'Shame' Red Band Trailer is Too Sexy For the Subway
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 29, 2011 | Comments (1)There has been a lot of talk about the sexual content in Steve McQueen's upcoming drama about sexual addiction and bratty little sisters, Shame. How explicit does it get? Exactly how many seconds is Michael Fassbender's wang on screen? What gets glossed over a lot, however, is that Shame has been stuck with an NC-17 rating not because it shows too many boobs and butts, but because of how dirty, creepy, and downright…well, shameful watching this movie is going to make you feel. This is a no frills, brutally honest look at sexual compulsion, and the explicit content it contains is much more likely to repulse than it is to titillate. There is nothing healthy about the way Shame portrays human sexuality. You wouldn't know that from the newest red band trailer for the movie though. What we get here is an isolated scene from the film, where Fassbender's character eyeball humps a redhead on the subway. His wolflike leering and her suggestive thigh shuffling are interrupted by brief bursts of images from all of the dirty, dirty sex that Fassbender has over the course of the film, and the effect of watching it all cut together is rather… well, exciting. Make no mistake, this trailer paints Shame as being a much more pleasingly erotic experience than it really is, and is in some ways misleading.
Carey Mulligan Serenades Us in Second 'Shame' Trailer
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 17, 2011 | Comments (1)Much ado has been made about the nudity and explicit sexual content in director Steve McQueen's upcoming drama Shame. In it, Michael Fassbender plays a compulsive sex addict whose routine of perversion is interrupted when his flighty younger sister (Carey Mulligan) comes calling and crashes at his apartment for a few weeks, and the results are both a little titillating and a little repulsive. That's understandable and everything, but the thing is, in all of the whispering and hullaballoo about wieners and boobs, I haven't seen much reported about the fact that Mulligan shows off some of her talent for singing in this film. Which is a shame (pun acknowledged), because not only is she pretty good, but the scene where she performs "New York, New York" kind of becomes a huge moment in the film. Sorry to disappoint the pervs out there, but Shame isn't all about sex stuff. So, while I have enjoyed the marketing for this film so far, this second full-length trailer played to me like a breath of fresh air. We get a lot of the same images from the first trailer, but this time they take on a whole other tone because Mulligan's singing is playing over them. And then, once we've run through the already familiar images, the trailer ends with a scene of Mulligan finishing her performance, and her and Fassbender sharing a look. What's really going through the heads of these two basketcases? You'll have to check out the movie to […]
AFF Review: 'Shame' Is a Solid Character Study That Stops Short of Greatness
Austin Events By Luke Mullen on November 3, 2011 | Comments (2)Steve McQueen is not the first established director to get the bug to direct a highly sexual film for adults, and he certainly won't be the last. Sadly, most directors who have actually made bold films about sexuality ended up with sub-par movies. Verhoeven's Showgirls is a punch-line, Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut is an interesting mess, and Cronenberg's Crash is maybe the best example of these experiments. It wouldn't surprise me to see Lars Von Trier do an adult film in the next few years; he's already expressed interest in the subject. While McQueen's Shame does a lot of things right, it stumbles just before the finish line. Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a normal guy. He goes to work, goes out for drinks with co-workers, goes home. But every waking moment he has is devoted to sex. Thinking about it, watching it, paying for it, sex pervades his every thought. This goes beyond the normal human desire for and fascination with sex and actually consumes his life. When his sister, Cissy (Carey Mulligan), shows up for an unannounced and open-ended visit, it puts a cramp in his style. His normal evenings of watching porn, paying for webcams, and inviting prostitutes over don't really work with his sister sleeping on the couch. Then he gets in hot water with his boss when IT checks his work computer and finds all kinds of pornography filling his hard drive. But he can't stop. His is a true addiction and Brandon can't stop himself.
The US 'Shame' Trailer is Covered in Sweat and Prestige
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 1, 2011 | Comments (1)The sweat is from all the running Michael Fassbender's character seems to be doing, and the prestige is from the plastering of Award Wins all over a crisp trailer for Steve McQueen's Shame that takes its own time in telling a story. It's rare that a trailer doesn't just vomit out story points into our eyeballs, but this one is a symphony of short-form movie advertising. It's quiet almost in purposeful contrast to the NC-17 rating emblazoned on the first few frames, and it slowly reveals Fassbender's character as a high class hound dog with massive emotional issues. Check it out for yourself:
AFI FEST 2011: Kate's 10 Most Anticipated Films
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 27, 2011 | Be the First To CommentEarlier this morning, my partner in LA film festival crime, the lovely Ms. Allison Loring, posted her list of Most Anticipated Films from this year's upcoming AFI FEST presented by Audi. Of course, many of our choices overlap (Shame, Butter, Rampart), but we part ways when it comes to some of the smaller films at the festival. For all the big, Oscar bait flicks (J. Edgar) or the wang- and soul-baring Fass-outings (Shame again, always Shame), there are a few films that I've been positively rabid to see (Alps, Michael) that might not yet have the cache value and audience awareness of those other films. From the festival's incredible list of 110 films, I've narrowed down my list to ten films that are my bonafide Most Anticipated Films of the festival. Like any list, I am sure that some of you perusing it will be displeased, weighing in on titles I'm a fool to miss. But hold your wrath for a few days, because many of the best titles of the fest are ones I've already seen, and those films might just crop up in an unexpected place (like, oh, another list). AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting today, October 27, right HERE). The complete schedule grid is now online for the festival, which you can check out HERE. After the break, […]
AFI FEST 2011: Allison's 10 Most Anticipated Films
AFI Fest By Allison Loring on October 27, 2011 | Comments (1)With AFI FEST presented by Audi just one week away, fellow FSR-er and AFI FEST attendee Kate Erbland and I went through the impressive list of films on the schedule and selected the ones we are most looking forward to seeing. To the credit of those putting together this year's AFI FEST, I found myself practically highlighting the entire schedule grid as I saw film after film that had already been on my "to-see" list. From films I have been anticipating for the past few months (Shame) to ones I had not heard of until now (Butter), this year's AFI FEST looks to be one of its strongest lineups yet. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting today, October 27, right HERE). The complete schedule grid is now online for the festival, which you can check out HERE.

Brad Pitt Picks Up a Role in Steve McQueen's 'Twelve Years a Slave'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on October 25, 2011 | Comments (1)It looks like Brad Pitt will not just talk the talk, but also walk the walk in Steve McQueen's next project Twelve Years a Slave. Pitt is producing the film through his production company, Plan B, and has reportedly worked on developing the project for a number of years, but now word is out that it won't be just Pitt the producer showing up for filming, but also Pitt the actor. A small item in Screen Daily announcing the addition of River Road Entertainment as producers and financiers, along with the news that Summit International will handle sales of the film at the upcoming American Film Market, also included a cast listing for the project. That list included McQueen's contestant star, Michael Fassbender, along with the already-announced Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Pitt himself. The Playlist went ahead and confirmed the casting with Plan B, who would only confirm that bit of news, but would give no further details. McQueen and John Ridley have adapted their script from the 1853 autobiography written by Solomon Northup, an African-American man who was born free and later abducted into slavery. Northup had an entire life in his native New York (complete with an education, a musical background, a wife, and three children) when he went to Washington in 1841 under the pretense of a job offer to play fiddle in a traveling circus. Once there, he was kidnapped and drugged. He was then sold into slavery and, for the next twelve years, was shuttled between owners and subjected to brutal […]
For Shame: Fox Searchlight Celebrates Its NC-17 Rating, Aims for Oscar
Movie News By Scott Beggs on October 25, 2011 | Comments (3)Feel free to stand up from your seat and slow clap while loved ones and strangers stare, because one studio has decided to slap the stigma of the NC-17 rating right in its moronic little face. As we all know, that stupidity is two-fold. The first is in its existence in the first place. A betting man or woman could win easy money that most don't even know that the NC stands for No One 17 and Under Admitted (because there's a confusing C in there), but it might as well just stand for No Children. There's an absurdly thin line between R and NC-17 that becomes all the more apparent when you hear a screaming 4-year-old in the theater where Jason Statham is beating a dude to death on screen before banging down Amy Smart's doors. Come to think of it, the No Children of NC sounds pretty good in those cases. The second part of the stupidity surrounding the rating (which inherited its bad reputation from the X rating that it morphed into), is in the connotation that some doomed by Puritanical high horsemanship slather onto it. Yes, NC-17 means adult, but there's also nothing wrong with making a film for an adult audience. Those that don't think so, aren't adults. In a way, the rating's reputation does a small service in weeding out those too emotionally, psychologically or sexually infantile to handle a solid adult drama (no matter their age). Sadly, that small service is a life […]
The Coens Sign Carey Mulligan for 'Inside Llewyn Davis'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on October 21, 2011 | Comments (1)A week ago, when I reported on Joel and Ethan Coen's new movie Inside Llewyn Davis picking up Oscar Isaac as its leading man, I opined that further casting news would probably be coming soon. The Coens' new film is about a folk singer coming up in the Greenwich Village scene, and it's loosely based off the life of Dave Van Rank, so it's going to be necessary for the brotherly team to cast actors as stand-in characters for all of Van Rank's musician friends. Well, a week later the brothers have signed up their first, and this one is a doozy. According to Variety, Carey Mulligan has signed on to play the female lead opposite Isaac. Despite my conclusion-jumping that most of the characters in this film will be musicians of some sort, there isn't actually any confirmation that the character Mulligan will be playing will be musically inclined at all. Variety is correct to point out that the actress has the chops to pull some musical numbers off if she has to, however. She plays a singer in director Steve McQueen's upcoming sex addiction drama Shame and really knocks her singing scene out of the park in that film. It's maybe the most crucial scene of the film, and Mulligan rises to the occasion admirably.
AFI FEST 2011 Announces Centerpiece Galas and Special Screenings; Includes 'Shame,' 'The Artist,' 'Rampart,' and 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 18, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAs it turns out, I've been slightly remiss when it comes to praising this year's 25th edition of AFI FEST 2011 presented by Audi. I've tossed off comments about how the festival gets better with every passing year, but in the wake of today's announcement of the festival's Centerpiece Galas and Special Screenings, I've realized that I have not gone far enough. AFI FEST has not just gotten better this year, the festival has made a dramatic jump to top-tier status, rolling out titles that play like a cinephile's Christmas list for 2011. Today's lineup announcement is essentially a "best-of" list of this year's festival favorites, including Michel Hazanavicius's The Artist, Steve McQueen's Shame, Oren Moverman's Rampart, Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin, Roman Polanski's Carnage, Simon Curtis's My Week with Marilyn, Lars von Trier's Melancholia, Gerardo Naranjo's Miss Bala, and Wim Wenders's Pina. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. The best part? Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting October 27). After the break, check out the full list, including descriptions and showtimes, of the films to be featured as AFI FEST Centerpiece Galas and Special Screenings.
Michael Fassbender Tries to Run from His 'Shame' in Film's First Trailer
Movie News By Kate Erbland on October 14, 2011 | Comments (1)Director Steve McQueen's second collaboration with his Hunger star Michael Fassbender, Shame, has been getting almost universally effusive praise as it's made its way through the recent festival circuit (Venice, Toronto). The film sees Fassbender as Gothamite Brandon, a sex addict who uses his very apparent addiction to keep emotions at arms' length. Brandon's tenuous lifestyle is thrown for a loop when his younger sister (Carey Mulligan), who is just as damaged as him (though perhaps in different ways), shows up to live with him. For all the chatter we've heard about the film (and, in particular, Fassbender's very naked in every sense of the word performance), we've yet to see a trailer until today. The film itself is laced through with all manner of explicit and deviant sex acts, complete with plenty of nudity from its cast, but the first trailer for the film doesn't capitalize on that aspect. Instead, it cuts together the different pieces of Brandon's life, from his late night runs to his constantly leering eye, and it's quite competent at showing a man whose multi-faceted appearance is really all in service to his carnal desires. Put on some protection (from the elements! for the running! obviously!) and check out the first (mostly SFW) trailer for Shame after the break.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival
Movie Blog: 'Blue Ruin' Review
Blue Ruin is a great American revenge movie, because it doesn't play out like most great revenge movies. In it, the target — the villain who must die, the object of the hero's obsession — is confronted and dealt with before we even have a good grasp on who the hero is, or what's going on. As such, the focus is on the aftermath: the consequences of killing, of eye-for-an-eye justice. And amid all the bloodshed and dark humor is a message about violence in America, I'm just not sure what it is yet.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 17: 'Dom Hemingway' Director Q&A
Sometimes it takes months and months for movies that play the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival to show up in general release in the Twin Cities. Even more often, films from the festival roster don't show up again at all. And then every once in awhile an MSPIFF selection pops into theaters in a matter of days.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 16: 'An Arctic Space Odyssey'
Clocking in at under an hour, An Arctic Space Odyssey traces the story of a group of men who worked for a year on a satellite station on an island that could be considered the […]
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 15: 'ILO ILO'
What makes Ilo Ilo more than just another family drama is the nuance with which writer/director Anthony Chen builds his characters. While each one appears based on a stereotype (the commanding mother, the shy maid, the troublesome son), they also have certain flaws or attributes that make them, as individuals, appear much more human than the usual fare that alights in family dramas, which are so fatally prone to melodrama.
Working For The Weekend: Entertainment Best Bets
It's nearly the weekend, and now's the time to figure out your entertainment plans. Many kids will be on the hunt for eggs, while other folks can run the sweetest race in town. And it's also your last chance to hit up a film festival.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 14: 'How To Disappear Completely'
That's not Thom Yorke on the, ahem, "Motion Picture Soundtrack" for How to Disappear Completely. It's the spare, oddly dispassionate beats of Eyedress, which lace Raya Martin's dark and foreboding mystery with an aura of […]
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 13: 'The Dog'
At age 11, I first saw Dog Day Afternoon as an edited-for-TV Sunday afternoon movie on a dreary fall day. The lonely kid version of me was absolutely riveted by the guns, the screams, the […]
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 12: 'Manakamana'
Directed by Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez but supervised by Lucien Castaing-Taylor (whose Leviathan was among last year's most memorable films, documentary or otherwise), you might say that nothing happens in Manakamana. Or you could […]
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 11: 'The Last Of The Unjust'
At age 88, filmmaker Claude Lanzmann is cinema's greatest torchbearer for the preservation of first-person holocaust remembrances. He's most famous for his epic documentary Shoah, which is nine-and-a-half incredible hours of interviews with holocaust survivors, […]
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 10: 'Google And The World Brain'
Since antiquity, humankind has dreamed of a library robust enough to store, and distribute, all of our accumulated knowledge. And with every technological step forward in publishing, thinkers have dreamed of how that vast well of information, if easily available to common people, could change the world.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 8: 'Aftermath'
Władysław Pasikowski's Aftermath, a work of fiction, was met with outrage by some of the Polish media upon release. It was even labeled by some as anti-Polish for suggesting that some citizens may have been more than complicit with the Nazis during the occupation. Set in the past decade, the film tells the tale of two brothers, one who left 20 years earlier to work as an asbestos remover in Chicago, while the other stayed in Poland to run the family's farm.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 7: 'The Strange Color Of Your Body's Tears'
I never understand why some people object to movies wherein the surface is the primary element and the rest is not necessarily subjugated but at least is entirely informed by that element. But there is admittedly something to be said for discipline.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 6: 'Concrete Night'
Rippling, oozing, flowing: Concrete Night is moody Finish noir film awash in smoke and liquids. Submerged at the start, the camera shows us the main character, a teenage boy named Simo (Johannes Brotherus), struggling in a dream sequence to swim […]
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 5: 'Nobody's Daughter Haewon'
It's a little difficult to recommend today's selection if you aren't already familiar with the films of South Korean master Hong Sang-soo. Like many auteurists' pet faves, he tends to allow elements and themes to flow freely between his films, and the result is a body of work that's greater than the sum of its parts.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 3: 'Stop The Pounding Heart'
Italian filmmaker Roberto Minervini has created one of the most gorgeous and subtle films on Christianity in America that I've ever seen. Using real-life goat farmers from rural Texas, his film both documents a lifestyle and explores the complications […]

Meaningful conversations about brand, from Davis Brand Capital.
And it's not a debate about orange or blue…
And it's not a debate about orange or blue…
The brand experts who continue to debate the AT&T/Cingular brand should turn their attention to Verizon. Truly, how important is the name or logo of these companies, when one of the leading providers continues to stand out for all the wrong reasons?
Brands serve as shortcuts for the consumer. Over time, the brand should communicate a core meaning, or positioning, to the consumer. This meaning is based on the product and operations of the company, not the color of the logo. For companies to continue to grow and remain profitable, their positioning must remain relevant to their customers. As we all know, relevancy is the key to marketplace success.
This week Verizon made a decision that moves it closer to an irrelevant brand position…one that will force it to compete on price alone. Verizon decided to be the only wireless carrier to disallow NARAL from carrying its messages over its network. While NARAL certainly is a divisive organization, the messages were to be delivered only to those consumers who chose to receive them.
After marketplace pressure, Verizon quickly reversed its decision. So while they ultimately listened to the market, their first decision makes it clear that they are suffering from marketing myopia. Sure, as the owners of a wireless network, they have the right to decide who uses it and which messages are distributed.
Yet, as Verizon continues to broadcast creative content and sponsorship messages, they have joined the media industry. Americans have very specific expectations for members of our media culture, and censorship is not one of them.
So, while AT&T/Cingular now has exclusive rights to one of the hottest new technologies on the market, the iPhone, and seems to be embracing its role as a media provider, Verizon is still asking, "Can you hear me now?"
Yes, Verizon, we hear you…loud and clear.

Something from nothing: Hemicellulose is selectively converted into valuable xylitol via a mild hydrogen transfer reaction, with a xylitol yield above 80 %. Instead of using high-pressure H2, isopropanol is used as hydrogen source in the presence of a Ru/C catalyst. Furthermore, a selective step-by-step conversion of hemicellulose and cellulose to different polyols in a one-pot process is described.
