Infortrend and ATTO Join Forces to Enhance 16G Networked Environments
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/26/13 -- Infortrend® and ATTO Technology, Inc. have announced a joint 16G Fibre Channel (FC) storage solution that provides an easy to configure, flexible and high-performance storage solution for workflows in the most demanding applications such as 4K ultra high definition (UHD) media editing and large block streaming. Moreover, with the wider bandwidth, the combination of ATTO HBAs and Infortrend storage is an ideal solution to meet the ever-growing demands of server and workstation-based applications seen in media & entertainment, High Performance Computing (HPC), data centers and other performance-critical workflows.
Today, motion pictures and home media environments are increasingly employing 4K UHD. Infortrend's 16G FC storage combined with ATTO's Celerity� 16G Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) allow users to edit multiple streams of 4K UHD simultaneously. This innovative storage solution powers high performance streaming media applications that support increasing resolution and frame rate requirements. When coupled with ATTO's MultiPath Director� technology, the world's only solution to connect both servers and workstations directly to enterprise-class storage, users are provided with improved productivity while protecting their data.
ATTO's 16G FC HBAs provide unprecedented levels of performance, one-click tuning for ensuring optimal performance, broad compatibility and customized driver support for meeting the demands of specialized applications.

Together, both Infortrend and ATTO's solutions provide a rock-solid base on which to build a next-generation 16G FC infrastructure and users are strongly encouraged to adopt the revolutionary new 16G technology to maximize the potential of their FC networks. As a result, Infortrend prices the 16G FC storage identically to its 8G storage*.
"For 25 years, ATTO has created a series of industry firsts, such as the first Quad Channel 16G HBA," said Wayne Arvidson, Vice-President of Marketing at ATTO. "Working with Infortrend to leverage those innovations for the 16G Fibre Channel ecosystem is further proof of our commitment to deliver innovative storage and network connectivity solutions that solve the toughest challenges facing organizations both today and in the future," added Arvidson.
"Infortrend constantly pushes the boundaries of networked storage and appreciates working alongside an innovator like ATTO," said Thomas Kao, Senior Director of Product Planning at Infortrend, adding, "This partnership optimizes our 16G FC solutions and we hope that customers looking to invest in next-generation performance will benefit from the enhanced compatibility between our 16G FC storage and ATTO's 16G FC HBAs."

Child Development Lab School Enrollment
Enrollment in the Child Development Lab School is open to all families of all socio-economic, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
The waiting list is updated on a regular basis. Each spring semester, currently enrolled families are asked if they intend to return the following school year. They are asked to sign a form indicating their intention to return and indicating any changes in enrollment options. First priority is given to returning children maintaining the same schedule, and then to children requesting a schedule change. After filling these requests, it is determined how many vacancies will be available for the fall in each class. The primary criterion for selecting children from the waiting list is time on the waiting list. There are a few exceptions, however.
To add yourself to our waiting list: Waiting List Form
Priority is given only in the following situations:
- Priority is given to siblings of currently enrolled children so that families will not have children in multiple childcare centers. Currently enrolled families must fill out a waiting list form for the new sibling.
- Priority is given to children of Amarillo College staff and faculty members and Amarillo College students.
- Priority is given to families seeking full-time enrollment.
Aside from these exceptions, children are selected in order of time on the waiting list and community members of Amarillo are welcome to be placed on our waiting list. The Center maintains optimum child/teacher ratios as determined by our accrediting body, The National Association for the Education of Young Children:
Ages | Adult/Child Ratio | Maximum Class Size |
3-12 months | 1 adult/3 children | 3 |
12-24 months | 1 adult/4 children | 4 |
24-36 months | 1 adult/5 children | 5 |
36-48 months | 1 adult/6 children | 6 |
48-60 months | 1 adult/8 children | 8 |
It is very unusual that the Child Development Lab School has any openings during the school year. Most children, when enrolled in the center, do not leave until they go to Kindergarten. It is common for us to go an entire school year without enrolling even one new child in any classroom.
The waiting list is a very fluid' document which changes from day to day based on new children being placed on the list as well as children aging from one age group to the next. Despite our hesitation, people often request to find out their "number" on the list. Please understand when making this request that this number can and does change often.
Once a child is selected off of the waiting list, parents begin an enrollment process. First parents are asked to fill out Enrollment Forms, then a date is discussed with the director for when your child can begin their transition week. Before official enrollment, we ask that parents commit to a transition week for their child so that their child can begin to become comfortable and familiar with our environment, friends, and teachers. This process includes gradually spending more time at the Lab School first with you and your child here together, and then just your child here without you.

*All parents are required to provide immunization records of their child upon enrollment and a wellness statement from their child's pediatrician.

Global Macro: China's Ripple Effects
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Chinese economy continues to turn out underwhelming data and show signs of a weak recovery.
Urban fixed investment, a main economic driver, came in weaker than expected Monday, followed by a miss on the Chinese industrial production measure. It doesn't look as if China is in free-fall mode, but recent data haven't been promising.
Also, cash flowing into China on speculation that the yuan has further room to climb could be damaging. The yuan has risen lately, and the Chinese central bank has its hands tied somewhat. If it cuts rates and depreciates the value of its currency, it invites more speculative flows into Chinese property markets, already at record highs. A property bubble could be disastrous for China, but the country needs more growth.
Below is a chart of FTSE China 25 Index Fund (FXI) over Total World Stock Index ETF (VT). The pair shows the relative weakness of China as its economic picture has deteriorated.
Money has taken flight from China's battered markets and made its way into American and Japanese equities. Look for a pickup in Chinese economic data to reverse the direction of its equity market. One consequence a weak Chinese economy is a weak Aussie dollar. The chart below is of CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust (FXA) over DB USD Index Bullish (UUP). This pair measures the strength of the Aussie dollar in terms of U.S. dollars. The pair's recent fall begins with China. As stated above, the Chinese economic picture has deteriorated. Poor numbers have weighed heavily on Australia, a major Chinese exporter and commodity producer. China's weakness prompted a rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia. Similarly, weak commodities prices have kept the pair from showing any signs of strength. A number of factors have to take shape before the Aussie dollar reverses trend. As a further testament to commodity market weakness, the chart below shows SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) over an equal weight DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (DBC). The pair took a nosedive after weak industrial and inflation data out of Europe and China a few weeks back. The stronger U.S. dollar, based on better employment and retail numbers, has subdued gold and commodities. Weaker commodities and a generally stronger U.S. dollar bring the earlier chart of AUD/USD inevitably lower.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Astrantia Venice - Floriferous for first year plant
bodayAugust 15, 2013
Quite pleased for a first year plant with the number of flowers. The color is midway between 'Ruby Wedding' and 'Roma'. Sort of a maroon shading into purple. In back - Rudbeckia 'Tuscan Sun and Monarda 'Raspberry Wine'.
Well done boday.
My many "Astrantia" understandably did almost nothing last year, their first year in our garden. But this year they performed superbly.
I planted (too) many of these masterworts after seeing the wonderful pictures from GW member scottyboipdx.

a purchase by a person who had your phone number
before you. That person probably associated this
number with their Squaredup account and haven't
updated it with their new number. So Squaredup
is still sending the texts to your number,
because it thinks this number belongs to the
other person. I don't know what can be done
about it, unless somehow you could find out

maybe one of the receipts will happen to have
that info on it.

Ancient History
The ancient world is an exciting period for military history. Full of epic battles, desperate sieges and the exploits of great generals whose fame has survived the intervening millennia - men like Alexander the Great, Hannibal and Julius Caesar. Pen & Sword's rapidly expanding Ancient History book range aims to provide well-researched, full-length studies covering the history of warfare from the earliest armies to the fall of Rome and the Rise of Islam. Analysis of armies, narratives of campaigns, battles and sieges and biographies of individual generals - it's all here.
Alexander the Great RomeSilva weaves into his account of the many campaigns and battles a great deal of information on the political, cultural and military side of Lusitanian society, helping throw fresh light not only on Rome's most well-liked enemy, but also one of the Republic's toughest wars. An excellent work, reading this will prove rewarding for anyone interested in Roman history.
New York Military Affairs Symposium
'Mummies possess an incredible power of attraction,' writes Albert Zink in his introduction to this slim, profusely illustrated, highly readable and beautifully produced book. It's an all-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about mummies-but-were-afraid-to-ask approach which seems to work for all ages. I read though the book with interest and then so did my children, aged 5, 7 and 9; the page -turning accompanied by lots of oohs, aahs and the occasional, "eugh!". I even caught my wife reading it and she NEVER picks up a book. I think our volume is going to be well-thumbed over the years, and my daughter is even taking the book to school today to show her class. If the British Museum gets it into its shops it should fly off the shelves. This reviewer heartily recommends this for children, daddies and mummies everywhere.
Paul Nixon, Amazon Reviewer
The publisher is building a fine catalogue of titles covering aspects of the Ancient World, and particularly of the lesser known leaders and conflicts. This new book forms part of that catalogue and tells the exciting story of one of those competing to succeed Alexander the Great. ... Recommended.

"I sick of "soup of the day" it's time we made a decision, i want to know what "soup from now on" is"
Mitch Hedberg
"What we are left with then is the present, the only time where miracles happen. We place the past and the future as well into the hands of God. The biblical statement that "time shall be no more" means that we will one day live fully in the present, without obsessing about past or future."
Marianne Williamson
"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."
Jim Valvano
"If you did not laugh at least 3 times in a day, then you have missed the best part of your day"

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 3,868 ViewsThanks for watching! I've been working on this project for years now, so it's nice to be finally finished with it :P
This music video is a story about a world ravaged by war and technology. The few remaining humans must gain access to a cave inhabited by an ancient war machine. The humans must break their sacred rule to never use old technology, and capture "Ultima Speranza", the Wandering Titan.
Hope you like it!
UPDATE (7/15/10): I'll be adding a "Extra Features" thing to the menu which will include the backstory for the world, the Titans, and the Humans featured in the video as requested...in a few days :)
This man knows his shit
Awesome demonstration of both musical talent, and cinematic skill. Everything from the camera work, to the shifts in perspective and the constant adherence to the underlying beat is exemplary. If you want to learn how to animate, and animate well, study this mans work.
this is heroic and epic!!!
8/10 or 10/10
I thought of putting it as an 8/10, but it was so good i put it as 10/10, why i want to put 8/10 'cause i thought the titan was the robot looking one not the dinosaur looking one so that's why. Have A Great Flash!

We really liked the room we were assigned in Tapa Tower. Plus, all the shops in the village, location on the beach, lagoon, etc., were part of a great package. This is a Honolulu destination unto itself.
Our day-and-a-half stay in Honolulu was primarily to visit Pearl Harbor, so we were hardly at the Hilton village. Too bad! It's a little pricey if you're not going to make full use of the facility.
Overcrowded, not enough staff, not enough pool space and seating for the amount of people the hotel houses, lots of construction, less than peaceful stay- glad we were only here one night
I enjoyed checking out of this hotel and telling them how I felt about our stay
I liked none of this experience
From the moment I checked in, I received excellent service. Richard was the gentlemen who checked me in, offered top-notch service, gave me a wonderful room, made me feel valued for being an Elite Marriott Rewards member, thoroughly explained the Resort Fee and Package. I enjoyed my time there and wish I was there longer.
They did charge me for valet parking when I only used guest parking. I had to get that corrected.
From the moment I walked in the door, I fell in love with the old beach vibe. The understated luxury just oozed from the place. The staff was amazing and always attentive to our needs from dinner plans at check in, offering a hospitality suite after check out because we had a late flight. Truly amazing experience and 100% worth the price tag!
The staff were incredible and helped so much. Our flight was leaving late at night and they let us use a hospitality room to shower and get cleaned up before we left for the air port. The staff at the restaurants on property were fantastic, epically Omar at The Beach House. It's a quiet gem in crazy Waikiki.
Excellent location. Nice that there is an available laundry available. Decent size rooms. Friendly staff.
Not crazy about Duke's. Mediocre food and service. Pool area is on the small side.
Comfortable, clean, and excellent location. Hotel restaurants are good and have a great view of Waikiki beach.
The gym is almost nonexistent.
It has pretty nice view and close to beach.
I booked the room which has king bed and ocean view. But when I visited hotel there was no room of right that. I heard that my wife and I gotta stay 2 single bed inspite of we were in honey-moon. Staff in hotel told me "We do NOT guarantee the room type whatever I booked the room via Kayak." I claimed 3 times but nothing changed. Finally we spent more money($25 per night) to upgrade king-bed room. I wanna say u guys going to stay this hotel "They do NOT guarantee the room type."
King size bed, quiet/clean room, n location perfect walking distance yo beach n shops
It is a fantastic facility. I enjoyed my stay
Nothing I didn't like
front desk staff, courteous professional bar staff, main lobby friendly helpful
It was so close to the beech and shops
For the money not a nice hotel room. I would not consider it a 3 star hotel, more like a 2.
Unbeatable location in Waikiki. Our room had a great view of both Diamond Head and the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The bed was comfortable. Best shower head ever!
No use of the pool after 6 p.m. is a ridiculous policy.
Front desk staff were unorganized and rude. Room we bioked was not ready and wecwere given the run around
The location and the view was good.
no cork screw in the room; you need to go to front desk to get you wine opened and Starbucks closed super early.

Zero Carb Fat Incinerating Zerotein Overview
The simple plans are often the best, and that's especially true for losing weight. A diet that is high in protein and low in carbs , with controlled fat intake simply creates an effective set of conditions within your body that are ideal for burning fat. VPX Sports recognized that, so they created Zero Carb Fat Incinerating Zerotein, a delicious protein supplement made to create this fat burning environment. It is completely free of fat and carbs, and it is low in calories and sodium. Unlike many protein supplements, Zero Carb Fat Incinerating Zerotein is lactose free, and is safe in most cases for those with milk allergies.The carb-free formula helps control insulin levels, which causes our bodies to store fat instead of turning it into energy. There are three basic ways that a high protein diet accelerates fat loss. First, high protein levels trigger the production of a hormone called glucagon that helps you burn fat for energy. Next, as protein is combined with an exercise program, you build more muscle tissue, which translates to a constant increase in fat burning capacity. Finally, processing the protein you eat in the first place requires energy, actually burning fat and releasing it as heat. Turn your body into a fat-burning furnace with Zero Carb Fat Incinerating Zerotein.
Zero Carb Fat Incinerating Zerotein Description from VPX SPORTS THE ALL NEW SRO™ (SPIROFUSE REVERSE OSMOSIS™) WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE!VPX® is proud to bring you a cutting edge NEW Whey Protein Isolate called, SpiroFuse Reverse Osmosis™ or SRO™! This invention is Whey Protein Isolate by Reverse Osmosis SpiroFuse Filtration™ or SRO™. Roughly 10 years ago VPX was the first company ever to release a ceramic filtered Whey Protein Isolate called cross flow microfiltration. This created quite a stir in the supplement industry because until that time, only whey protein concentrate (WPC) or low grade Ion Exchange WPI was available. As you can imagine there have been significant improvements in protein technology over the past 10 years. As a result of these superior scientific advancements, VPX is utilizing super high tech new membrane systems that produce isolated proteins that are 99%+ pure and are ultra rich in potent low molecular weight micro-fractions (LMWF). The SRO™ ZERO CARB® flavoring system is also NEW and developed by VPX flavor experts solely for your enjoyment. These new SRO™ potent proteins and flavor technologies are only available inside SRO™ ZERO CARB® Protein, Syngex® Protein and other VPX protein products. VPX is creating the future of muscle science, bodybuilding and performance enhancement to allow you to achieve your fitness goals!
Contains: milk and soy (as a soy lecithin) SRO ZERO CARB does not contain soy protein.Allergen warning: manufactured on equipment which processes milk, egg, soybeans, wheat, tree nuts and peanut.
Ingredients: Other ingredients: cold filtered cross-flow quadrafiltration whey protein isolate proprietary microfiltration profile comprised of complete spectrum molecular weights for sustained protein absorption and increased nitrogen retention, natural and artificial flavors, potassium phosphate, tri-sodium polyphosphate, guar gum, sucralean brand sucralose.
Manufacturer's Directions For a great tasting, delicious shake combine each scoop of the all new SRO™ ZERO CARB® Protein with 4-6 ounces of cold water (depending on personal preference for desired thickness). For added body, blend two or three ice cubes with SRO™ ZERO CARB® Protein. Use 2-3 servings daily. Always drink 12 to 16 ounces of additional water for each protein shake consumed.
This the most perferfectly done protein shake that I have ever found. Low in sodium and calories. Taste is okay. But I drink it so fast, it doesnt really matter. Perfect for people trying to keep their carbs/sugar intake under control.
Used to love this flavor. Late last year, this flavor was unavailable for a number of months and when it was finally available it was totally different from before. I am not ordering this flavor again.
The offending strawberry-kiwi flavor that was so tart (mentioned below) is no longer part of the line. VPX has replaced it with straight 'Strawberry' which is really quite good. Imo it rivals Syntrax Nectar Sweets Strawberry Mousse in taste, which until I tried the VPX version had been my go-to strawberry protein powder. I now order the VPX Zero Carb strawberry--in addition to the VPX vanilla and chocolate--exclusively. (AllstarHealth has the best prices, btw.) The Strawberry has a realistic strawberry taste and is not at all tart as the strawberry-kiwi flavor had been. Good decision by VPX to reformulate it.
Zero Carb has made supplementing my diet enjoyable once again. This protein not only tastes great but is easily digested and mixes well with both fruit and peanut butter. All flavors are solid!
I was surprised reading another review for this product. I think the reviewer might have been referring to the strawberry-kiwi flavor which is extremely tart. However, I've purchased the chocolate and vanilla varieties and they are excellent. Moreover, if you carefully read labels, you'll notice that VPX Zero Carb protein has the highest protein/lowest calorie per gram composition around. Like the product says--ZERO carbs. But also ZERO fat. Pretty much straight protein. Dissolves instantly. No grainy texture. Aside from the flavor of the strawberry-kiwi, the only 'problem' is the price. It's one of the pricier protein powders out there. However, like the saying goes 'you get what you pay for.'

I stayed only one night!
Very nice breakfast buffet. Easy walking to major transit hub. Two blocks from famous Ferris wheel in Prater Park
Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast is very good. Cleaning is also very good and so is the wifi.
Just a little bit far from the center, but metro station is close, so it is easy to get to other places. No problem at all.
The free breakfast was the best I had during my trip. (Vienna, Salzburg, Prague) The staff was very helpful and kind. The hotel was close to public transportation from the airport.
There were no restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
Great breakfast! 5min from/to the train station.
You can easily reach hotel via s7 airport train at praterster station Rooms are clean well designed .
Very clean, fantastic breakfast!
Since it was very cold outside with the heating, the rooms were a bit dry and could use some airing to avoid dry night
Good breakfast, spacious room with sofa and comfortable bed and very short distance to the metro. Nice restaurants nearby
Double bed had two single duvets, seems to be a common thing in Europe but we didn't like this.
Breakfast was good and of a wide variety
I was given a smoking room and I do not smoke. The smell was horrendous and I had to keep the window open to help the smell which made it cold!! I was never asked smoking or non smoking even though they have both options. Two thumbs down.
Not a bad hotel in an ok location, not far from the center. Rather big and comfortable rooms. Nice breakfast.
Our booking was mixed up and at the end two of us had to sleep in separate single rooms instead of the booked double. On top of this the receptionist wasn't very friendly. The walls are paper thin so you can hear every noise from other rooms.
- The design - The parking space (extra cost of €13/night) - Politeness of the staff
- When we arrived there was no WiFi available, the staff said it was under investigation but the WiFi wasn't available until we left - A lot of things are not free of charges, thus no real value for money
Fantastic value hotel. Art Deco designed and quite quirky. Very near tube/train station and big wheel. Fab Cyrian restaurant called Zina's nearby.
good breakfast.good location 20-30 min walk to the st. stephen cathedral.5 min walk to the metro station.plenty parking spaces around the hotel(free in week-ends).spacious rooms.real 3 stars hotel.good value for money
a bit cold at 21 degrees at night in january
The breakfast was amazing.Very good coffee! Nice design and atmosphere in a dining room.Location is pretty fair, you can walk to the centar (20 min), or you can use a tram or subway. We found restaurant, named "3/4 tact", about 200 meters from the hotel,with tasty dishes, and good prices.
There is not possible to park car near hotel. There is not space to park car in front of the hotel during the bringing suitcases! Stuff iz indifferent, specially the old man. Also, the rooms are not good isolated, and you can hear your neighbors, specially shower.However, we have pleasent time in this hotel.
- Breakfast was really good. - Quite place - Staff were nice.
- They charged me €1.5 for dental kit (small tooth brush and tooth paste) - Toiletries were not enough (e.g. one small bar of soap to use for both shower and hand wash.
Excellent breakfast Clean Location close to metro-not far from center Nice environment
easy check-in and check-out, great breakfast and good location with direct train to airport
rooms feel a bit dated, but still great value for money
Nice hotel, generous breakfast with many dishes to choose from, good location (3 metro stops from center)
Parking - if you catch one of the few 24-day permits they have, it costs 4.10 EUR/day, otherwise it's 2EUR/hour
The hotel itself was fine and the breakfast nice.
The wifi was dreadful. Despite being told on check in that wifi was available everywhere we then found that we only got reception for longer than 10 seconds if we sat in the foyer and even then it was poor. As someone trying to deal with work issues online it was very frustrating!
The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly. Wifi was good. The hotel is located close to metro and train stations insofar as main sites to visit were easily accessible.Breakfast was great with a plenty of selections.

I first saw The Ballad of Cable Hogue in Vietnam in 1970. For years afterwards, I wondered if it was really as good as I recalled or whether I thought it was good at the time because it was the only film I saw in a year. Finally about five years ago I found and bought the VHS tape: it is even better than I remembered. Perhaps it helps to be 30 years older than I was then. And the good news is that the soundtrack is available now, having been released by Varese Sarabande (www.varesesarabande.com). "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" which plays through the opening credits of the film is one of the great ballads of the last fifty years, for my money. See the film! Get the soundtrack! You'll never regret it.
This movie is a truly different Sam Peckinpah movie. Clear sharp humor and beleivable romance. Not exactly your typcal Bloody Sam Movie. Jason Robards Jr is very poignant as Cable, a man out of his time. Stella Stevens is stunning, and Strother Martain an L.Q. Jones play their villain roles with characteristic aplomb. But the real show stopper is David Warner as the randy reverend Joshua Sloan. There isn't scene he's in which he doesn't steal. The mix of tragedy comedy and romance is flawless. Truly a classic western, as well as a milestone in Peckinpah's career.
A western so unlike anything else of the genre I was accustomed to. When it magically reappeared on disc I was skeptical..would it stand the test of time? It HAS and more. An overlooked gem, a second feature (when there WERE second features) addendum which NOW with release of the disc should take it's place, rightfully, as one of the outstanding works of Sam Peckinpah. A brilliant and troubled director, each of his movies reveals more of himself As if peeling an onion. He has been stigmatized by some for the violence of The Wild Bunch and by others for the 'tricks' of fast action and winking dollar bills of Cable Hogue. The total of his work is more than the sum of it's parts.. however I do believe this movie will serve as his epitaph as it is rediscovered. Listen to the theme song and understand.
This was Peckinpah's favorite movie he ever. It's not my favorite, but it's one of his best. It has the great elements for a Peckinpah movie that makes it work. Great direction, acting, editing, cinematography, musical score (especially the songs). I also believe this is Jason Robards finest and best screen role he ever did. It's a shame that the film never got the intention it should have received. Stella Stevens, David Warner, L.Q. Jones, and Strother Martin turn in some fine roles, too. It has the perfect amount of humor and drama to make this Western work, along with its romantic and revenge story lines. It was the perfect follow up to "The Wild Bunch".
When Cable Hogue (Jason Robards) is left in the desert without any
water double-crossed by his partners Taggart (L.Q. Jones) and Bowen
(Strother Martin), he prays for God and four days later he finds a
spring in the route of the stagecoach to Deaddog City. Cable meets the
preacher Joshua Sloane (David Warner), who advises him to claim for the
land, and he rides to Deaddog where he has an encounter with the
prostitute Hildy (Stella Stevens). He is financed by the local banker
and builds a stagecoach stop with water, restroom and meals helped by
Reverend Joshua. Later, Hildy is expelled by the dwellers of Deaddog
and she moves to Cable's place, becoming his lover. She invites Cable
to move with her to San Francisco, but Cable wants to revenge first
against Taggart and Bowen.
"The Ballad of Cable Hogue" is an unusual western; actually it is a
bitter comedy in the Wild West. This film is completely uneven, with
pleasant and funny moments alternating with others boring and dull; the
abrupt ending is awful, with a scene that is simply thrown to the
viewers without any further explanation, just to symbolize the end of
an era but it does not work well. Jason Robards and David Warner are
excellent, but the sexy and extremely gorgeous Stella Stevens is
awesome and "steals" the movie. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "A Morte Não Manda Recado" ("The Death Does not Send
I can't believe this movie got less than 8 stars.
Cable Hogue may have been Jason Robards greatest role.
Strother Martin plays his character to perfection,and his character was
born to be a villain in this movie.
In fact,the lead character in Despicable Me should have been formed
around Strother Martin,and should have even looked like him.
Martin may have been a B list co-star,but he was a GREAT B list
And Stella Stevens was never better eye candy.
Hogue is a miserable human being,with good reason,and in spite of
himself he manages to attract this crowd of friends and acquaintances.
Of course,a lot of his "friends" are directly related to him owning the
only water hole on a stage line,and people with money or influence
always have more "friends" than they really want. Very few of them real
I just bought one of those new Roxio devices to convert VHS movies into
DVD movies,and I will soon be opening the still sealed brand new VHS
tape of this movie that I bought several years ago and converting it to
DVD. As far as I know this movie still isn't available on DVD.
It is extremely rare for me to watch the same movie over and over, but
that's just how much I enjoyed this one! (of course, Encore's line-up
give a whole new meaning to Re-runs) I liked it so much, I bought a
copy to share.
Encore's ad said this was Peckinpaugh's favorite film and that the
"studio brass hated it." I'd have to say Peckinpaugh's feelings were
right and the studio brass at the time were not too bright.
This is a movie that should appeal to both sexes: not a chick-flick or
a high drama guy's film. It's difficult to file this movie into any one
genre, as it has a slight Western feel with a lighthearted touch of
tenderness and it's wonderfully comical. The little 'dance' Cable does
after leaving the land office is priceless, LOL!
Another rarity for me is to instantly like the music scores from any
movie. "Tomorrow Is The Song I Sing" and "Wait For Me, Sunrise" were
stuck in my head, even the day after watching the movie the first time.
I was happy to find both songs on YouTube and saved them to my
play-list. The lyrics from both songs contain meaning that can strike a
chord with anyone who has ever faced hard times, looking for a brighter
tomorrow. (I expect this would be just about everyone)
When Sam Peckinpah allowed some comedy to infuse his otherwise dramatic
films, he displayed a subversive and very funny sense of humor. But if
"The Ballad of Cable Hogue" is any indication, he was much less adept
at staging an all-out comedy.
This farcical western starring Jason Robards as a man who discovers a
water spring in the desert and proceeds to make a business out of it is
an ungainly, even slightly ponderous affair. Its attempts at humor are
mostly obvious and lead footed -- like speeding up the camera so that
characters run around like they're in a Benny Hill skit. And the movie
is far too long for the bare bones plot supporting it. I really like
Peckinpah, but I thought this one was a struggle to sit through.
Two things I unequivocally did like about it -- the scene where Cable
Hogue meets the character played by Stella Stevens and can't focus on
anything but her cleavage; and the film's theme song, which I still
can't get out of my head.
Grade: B-
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Good ol' Bloody Sam hid his softer side quite well, too well if you
want my opinion, which might explain why "The Ballad of Cable Hogue"
sank into oblivion somewhere lost between the popularity of "The Wild
Bunch" and "Straw Dogs". How pitiful, "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" would
have probably helped to contradict Sam's detractors, but no one
remembers it. And this sad reality poetically fits the film
Jason Robards plays the prospector Cable Hogue, whose bushy beard,
raspy voice and sad looking eyes, embody the colorful heritage of the
Old West. His odyssey starts when he's double-crossed by his two
associates and left alone and waterless in the desert. Hogue has no
other choice than a long walking during which we're transported by the
beautiful ballad "Tomorrow is the Song I Sing". Hogue's tomorrow is
uncertain, but not hopeless, he regularly addresses God with a touching
but never blasphemous complicity and all the determination of a man,
who doesn't want to die, like the allegory of the agonizing Old West
spirit. But after four exhausting days of walking, Hogue finally gives
up and in an ironic twist, his abandon coincides with the providential
discovery of a water hole in the middle of nowhere, right between the
towns of Deaddog and Gilla. Hogue found something more valuable than
gold, a stage stop in the desert.
What follows is a tribute to the American Dream : Hogue registers his
two acres of precious land, gets a loan from a banker and a succession
of very colorful characters assist him. Hogue develops a cordial
relationship with two stagecoach drivers and a strange friendship with
probably one of the most perversely amusing cinematic preachers you'll
ever see. David Warner as Reverend Joshua Sloan will provide some of
the film's funniest moments both in the slapstick and the one-liners
department. Indeed, Sloan has a very personal way to choose his
parishioners, his 'sisters of the Spirit' and purge "the grief" from
"their soul" and release their "true spirit"
with his very tactful
hands. But the heart of the film is the love story between Cable and
Hildy, the prostitute, not the archetypal one with the heart of gold.
The gold, she's digging it, but not anywhere, in San Francisco where
she plans to marry the richest man or the two richest men and become
"the ladyest damn lady in town". Stella Stevens is absolutely
irresistible in this role, combining an exquisite femininity with a
very strong personality.
I firmly believe the romantic story is responsible of the comedic tone
of the film. It's like Peckinpah decided to loosen up a bit and let all
the fun repressed during the making of the more dramatic "Wild Bunch".
The movie provides fast motion, subliminal shots of Stella Stevens'
beautiful boobs that hardly keep us focused, the slapstick of a good
old Benny Hill show and a sort of poetical wisecrack that provides some
of the funniest Western lines : "Give me the rifle" "You'll get what's
in it" Priceless! I used to believe that this film should be a more
popular Western comedy than "Blazzing Saddles" but I finally got the
point that the comedy was in fact comic relief as to hide the dramatic
aspect of "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" which is, a tragic love story.
Hildy has a real fondness on Hogue, and their chemistry is absolutely
appealing. The movie is punctuated by many beautiful songs, among them,
"Butterfly Morning/ And Wild Morning Afternoons" which offers a tender,
delicately handled moment. Robards was robbed an Oscar nom and Stella
was stellar, and both exude a mysterious but sincerely endearing love.
But there's never a reason in love, it just happens, as says Sloan,
there's always one girl who "cuts right straight into you".
But Hogue is a practical man, incapable of showing his romantic side
every time, haunted by the desire to take his revenge on the guys who
betrayed him. Hogue deliberately (or maybe not) ruins what could have
been a long-lasting idyll by a remark that hurt Hildy's feelings,
telling he didn't charge her the location, because she didn't charge
him in bed. At that moment, Hildy's heart is devastated as she realizes
that it's time to leave him.
The tragedy of "The Ballad of Cable Hogue"'s romance is the impossible
love between the hooker who wants to discover San Francisco and the old
prospector who hates the town and manages his honest business in the
desert. Hogue is someone in the desert, and doesn't have his place in
civilization. And the end of the West is incarnated by the automobile
era : when the first one appears, Strother Martin's character says he
saw one of them ... and so we did, in a movie named "The Wild Bunch".
Hogue, like Pyke, embodies the Old West myth and it's no coincidence
that he was killed by the ominous arrival of cars. Civilization finally
met the Old West.
Hogue dies surrounded by all the protagonists of his life, including
Hildy, as a rich widow from San Francisco with a dress so green, she's
like a beautiful oasis in the desert, indeed, she became the "ladyest
damn lady in town". What a poetic ending for a man who would have the
honor to hear his own eulogy
And what a powerful significance to the
film, probably the only one which 'stars characters actors' from Jason
Robards, to Stella Stevens, Strother Martin, L.Q Jones, Slim Pickens,
the "Ballad of Cable Hogue" is the delightful swan song of an era, a
last tribute to a movie genre.
And I join myself to honor Cable Hogue, the unsung hero of 'New
Hollywood' and 'Cable Hogue' whose tenderness is like the link between
the thrills of 'The Wild Bunch' and the passion between 'McCabe & Mrs.
Miller', this is the Holy Trinity of the 'New Western' genre. Amen.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Movie fans who recall Sam Peckinpah as a writer and director of violent
Westerns will see something quite different in "The Ballad of Cable
Hogue". The film, much like "The Wild Bunch" and "Pat Garrett and Billy
the Kid", makes a statement about the passing of the Old West, a
favorite Peckinpah theme. Of the three, it's the one with the least
amount of blood letting and the most humor and as it turns out, was
cited by Peckinpah as his personal favorite.
I find myself in the middle on this picture, entertaining enough in
it's way, but often times it seemed the story was rambling aimlessly in
search of a real plot. Then, every time the director attempted some
novelty, like the winking currency or the Keystone Cop run around, I
was left a little perplexed regarding the integrity of the story.
Actually, it seemed like one of the director's preoccupations here was
with outright titillation, with the camera fondly zooming in on Stella
Stevens' substantial assets, along with those close-ups of her
strategically placed name badge. The presence of David Warner's
preacher character only added to that perception, he of the Church of
the Wayfaring Stranger. At least he was right out there with his
unbridled lust, but it seemed just a little too convenient that Mrs.
Jensen agreed to such comfort in her time of grief.
One thing I CAN say with some confidence is that this is probably the
finest performance I've seen by Jason Robards. He takes the viewer
through a fairly wide range of characterizations and emotions quite
effectively. I would like to know though how he managed to get through
the scene while washing Hildy's (Stevens) back; on screen it looked
like he was in complete control.
Anyway, this won't make my list of favorite Westerns, or even favorite
films by Peckinpah. I guess it has it's place, but given all the
diverse elements in the story, one might ask why the director didn't go
all out for genuine spaghetti.

No One Cares About Your StoryGOOD NEWS: This is perfectly normal!I can't remember the source, but a few years ago I read this famous author's account of how it felt to have his first book come out, and he mentioned buying a copy himself because he was afraid no one would take an interest. Now this is a guy who managed to get not only an agency but a publisher (which is a whole pile of people who were like yesplz), and he's still afraid readers won't care. I was like, 'whoa mind blown.'But anyway, the fact is that we are all strangers on the Internet and, by default, there is no reason for you to read my stuff or vice-versa. If you went and stood in Times Square with copies of your latest story, how many people would give you more than a passing glance? And how many of those people would get to the end of your work, and how many of those would offer critical feedback?And, if you were one of the passersby, whom would you stop for?Okay, I'm done scaring the shi
The Top Reasons for Manuscript RejectionOne of the things that the literary agency I work for does some weekends out of the year is teach seminars on query writing and the first 5 pages of manuscripts (which, basically just means the first page of the manuscript). The seminars last only a day or two, but aim to help writers improve their queries and start of their books so that they have a better chance of standing out in the ever-growing slush pile. Since I know many members of the literature community here aim to one day be published writers, I thought I would share our sheet of the top reasons for manuscript rejections. Please note: These are in no particular order.Wrong genre Agents have guidelines for specific genres that they like to represent. Just like you and me, they have certain genres they love and certain genres they don't. Sometimes, it's not because of personal preference, but because they don't know the market for some books as well as other agents who are very passionate about
A Copyright Briefing (New Updates 3/5/13)I am not a lawyer. I do not know everything there is to know about copyright law and cannot assist you with legal matters. I have studied copyright extensively and written many DMCA Takedown Requests for myself to successfully get the illegal use of my work stopped. This article is in no way comprehensive. It does not include 100% detail on copyright laws. If you want more information or just want to browse more of my writing on copyrights, please go here.Copyright and "Theft"Why sharing can be illegal.There is quite a bit of confusion about copyright law, the DMCA, fair use, de minimus, etc. And rightly so. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt when I come across what appears to be a "theft" issue. Even people in the United States, the home of the DMCA and one of the strongest supporters of
Writing Opportunities (Publishing)Last updated 29th June 2013 We would love to hear feedback from people if they are using this! Have you entered something listed here? Have you won something? Are you actively using this? We want to ensure we are giving the community something worthwhile here- and please don't forget to add opportunities you find to the list too- the more people adding things, the better! Hello all!As writers, we always talk about "getting that piece published sometime" or "maybe submitting to a few places", but how many of us actually eat our words and get on with it?It was suggested that perhaps we could help nudge you guys by sharing with you the opportunities we know of. Personally, I'm not well explored, but what I do know is that the community is! Therefore this journal is a chance to share the opportunities you find. How this is going to work? If you find an opportunity, add a c
Why you feature stolen work?!?!Lately there seem to have been a few myths flying around in particular with regards to how we as Community Volunteers, give Daily Deviations. Many people seem to think that we sit at our desks in dark little rooms and let out evil laughter whilst we purposefully feature stolen work. The dark rooms and laughter - well I can't say yes or no on that one! But I can promise you it's not our intent to give exposure to people who have stolen work. I recently featured a piece of work that turned out to be stolen. However I went into extensive conversations with the artist before I featured it, and with added metadata and dates, it's difficult to know where to draw the line. I've given people the benefit of the doubt before - and it's worked out nicely as their work has been legitimate. Below are some comments I have seen being thrown around the past few days - and hopefully an attempt to bust the myth."I thought at least that you people would check to make sure the work was the
Complaint Challenge Contest!We got our complaints out in December 2012. Now, 2013 is about doing something productive with them. I am not going to sit and grumble about my pet peeves. Neither should you!Anyone who knows me should have been suspicious from the start of Phase 1 because complaining is one of my own complaints. (And you saw this trick last year!) That's right. I complain about people complaining. Silly, yes? Well I decided to do something about it with this challenge. I hope everyone enjoyed sharing their gripes in Phase 1 because it is time for Phase 2! And Phase 2 is open to everyone, even if you didn't participate in Phase 1, or decided to change what complaint you'd like to address!Complaint Challenge – Phase 2The challenge in a nutshell: Pick one of your dA complaints and do something proactive about it.

Attention, don't give away your work!If possible please this news article so that more people can see it and be wary, thank you! This week I received messages from two different people (through Etsy and Storenvy) offering to make a review of my work. They splattered huge statics, like having millions of instagram followers, popularity, or having done it before and making people famous. Of course, their generosity was conditioned by me agreeing to send them some of my work for free. While I don't object the concept of reviewing someone's work, I worry that this has become a popular way of scamming artisan crafters to give away their work for free with promises of exposure and increasing their sales. I wanted to write this journal to tell everyone to be careful, specially if you're just starting your business and struggling to get noticed, it may sound tempting but you should never give away your hard work!One of them was even more blunt and said that he could write a positive review of my work just by
DD Suggestion Guidelines RevampedRevamped Christmas 2012Why should I suggest literature to you?Oh for any number of reasons, the most logical of them being that I (and all of us Lit ^CV's) cannot be everywhere on the site at any given time. There is literature going gravely unnoticed right now that deserves attention and you may be the only one aware of that writer and their work. You should suggest literature because it helps represent the literature community as a whole. It helps us understand what is impacting writers and what is capturing readers' interest when we receive suggestions-- of similar topics, genres, or forms. It helps keep our view of the community in perspective so we are able to make reasonable decisions regarding DD choices.That Being Said...I've been a Literature ^CV for a little while now and I'd like to clear up a few things surrounding lit DD suggestions as well as revisit my guidelines below. Starting January 1st, 2013, any suggestion
PE Prose Basics: Varying SentencesVarying Your SentencesWhen I was in college, I took an early morning Anthropology class. I had to wake up at five to catch the bus. Ugh. Yeah, I'm not a morning person. But I did it. The first day, our instructor stood before us and starting reading from the textbook. Word for word. Completely monotone. I was asleep within ten minutes. The rest of the week was the same; arrive, begin listening to the instructor, pass out. I had to drop the class and get whatever refund I could, while I could. It was my worse class experience there.Most people know that in public speaking, the person talking needs to vary their tone and speech patterns and such to hold their audience's attention. They need to have a rhythm. Otherwise, they'll end up putting the audience to sleep. The same applies to writing. If you use the same sentence length or structure continually, you'll be the literary equivalent of my instructor. Repea
PE: Daily Deviations - The Myth and the LegendDaily Deviations, or DDs . . . for some deviants, receiving one is the epitome of awesomesauce in the deviantART world. For others, they are a nice way to show off the work of lesser-known artists. Still others treat them as a special way to bring attention to great art that exemplifies works being done by a particular gallery or community.Perhaps because there are so many different ways of conceptualizing DDs, there are also many myths and misconceptions. I would like to address some of those myths by responding to the ones most frequently heard. Please note that these opinions are mine and reflect my experiences with the photomanipulation community, but perhaps they will be informative nevertheless.Myth 1: DDs should always be perfect.To many of us, the ideal Daily Deviation goes to an artist with amazing talent whose work draws you in and makes you think, "Wow, everyone needs to see this!" A DD should move you, inspire you, and provoke you to think, b
Self-Injury Awareness 2013 Fears vs DreamsThe FactsMarch 1st is a day that calls attention to a sensitive subject that takes on many meanings and forms for people. Self-injury, or self-harm, is the act of deliberately harming oneself physically, usually as a mechanism for expressing distress or coping in difficult situations. Self-injury is commonly associated with cutting, but can also refer to burning, scratching, bruising, bleaching, overdosing, some forms of hair pulling and picking, and breaking bones. Binging and purging may also be considered self-injuring behavior.The reasons behind self-injury and the people who self-injure vary greatly, but one thing to keep in mind is that it does not matter what culture, ethnicity, gender, or age you are: there are people who have injured themselves from all walks of life. Triggering events like bullying, trauma, abuse, school, work pressures, bereavement and difficult relationships can all contribute to the distress one feels that leads them to self-injure, but
Untitled is just a synonym for lazy.Well, the color poem form I introduced to dA was a rousing success, but interest of late seems to have died down. So I'm back with a new form for you all, something exciting and new, something different, something that I will probably make into a contest once I get some points in the bank. You ready?EDITThere's a group now - feel free to head over to TheTitlePage! We're still in set-up mode, so excuse the plainness for now.Found Poetry Project - Titles as ArtOne of my favorite things about the creative process is coming up with a good title. The title can make or break a piece; it can give context not provided in the piece itself, set a tone or mood, or just give that little extra something you can't put a name on.You know I'm right. How many times have you stumbled into an ordinary piece with a beautifully creative title? And it's not something
Daily Deviation Suggestion Drive!Back By Popular Demand!In January of 2012, the community was challenged by thorns to do something about their complaints on dA. Thus was born this very group! But before the group, it was just a fledgling idea on LiliWrites's account that began with a DD Suggestion Contest. The results of that contest were overwhelming. And so, under the prodding of quite a few Community Volunteers, we're going to do it again! UPDATE: Less than 1 week in and we've already got 100 suggested DDs and 2 accepted suggestions!! Keep up the great work guys and gals. Please remember that you need to leave a link to every deviation you suggest in this journa
Comments and Commenting We all know that getting the exposure you want for your work is a tough endeavour here on dA. Despite the wonders of the site, the simple fact of the matter is that comments are hard to come by these days. There may be many reasons for this - lack of time on the part of many browsers, lack of interest, or simply: not knowing what to say. We've all been there at one point (some of us more than others), and it presented the question - "what is it that writers want out of a comment?" The only way to find the answer to this question was to set up a poll - which received an amazing response from the lit community, and with your help, this editorial will highlight some points that will aid in leaving some insightful and appreciated comments.First and foremost - Read. Many of the writers on dA want f

With just over 1000 deviants holding the highly saught after ` -- it's clearly a moment that deserves recognition.:faq29:So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognise their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community. Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice that stands out above the many other
PE: Dealing with a negative feedbackPE: Dealing with a negative feedback:iconprojecteducate:"To escape criticism - do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."Elbert HubbardEveryone wants to be praised for their work. It's the extremely rare individual who creates things and doesn't care how they're received. Dealing with criticism can be painful, but at the same time enormously helpful.Let's begin with understanding the function that positive and negative feedback serve. Positive feedback (pointing out things you did WELL) increases commitment to the work you do, by enhancing your experience and your confidence, white Negative feedback (pointing out things you did WRONG), on the other hand, is informative - it tells you where you need to spend your effort, and offers insight into how you might improve.With that being said, positive and negative feedback are affective and motivate differently, their impact varies from different peop
Is Your Skin Too Thin?A lot of writers on this site fantasize about having a book published someday. But even if you don't, pretty much everyone still posts for an audience, even going so far as to hope for honest feedback.Hell, who doesn't like improving?If you are honestly truly really, after much introspection, writing only for yourself and not particularly interested in critical feedback, I would skip this.

"OMG - their character is exactly like mine! Now I can't use him." Damn it! That storyline is almost like mine! I have to start all over. ... or my personal -"That's basically what my book is about. GOD. I'm so not original."
What kind of distinguishing facial features does your character have? Does your character have a birthmark? Where is it? What about scars? How did he or she get them?Questioning the appearance of your main character is always a great start to be original. For example, what makes protagonists memorable & distinguisable from others? Consider Harry Potter. The boy has messy black hair, large, black-rimmed glasses, and a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. Simple yet entirely memorable.
What is your character's biggest fear? Who have they told this to? Who would they never tell this to? Why?When you question your main characters fears & secrets an antagonist begins to form. However original you character's life, the more original the characters and situations around them become.
Who are your character's friends and family? Who do they surround themselves with? Who are the people your character is closest to? Who do they wish they were closest to? Where was your character born? Where have they lived since then? Where do they call home? When has your character been in love? Had a broken heart? It is important to consider the characters that surround your main protagonist. The more questions you ask about them, the more original they become. Once again, consider Harry Potter. On the one hand, you have a very brave, intelligent young woman who is good in school and is the voice of reason. On the other you have a character who hardly has a voice at all. He usually never succeeds in anything, and is normally a coward.
Why is this important? (It should be vital.)
What does the main character do about this?
What crisis finally results?
