Harry Styles knows what he wants. The British hottie has been linked to multiple older women, and now HollywoodLife.com has learned from an insider close to him why that is.
"Harry has no qualms about sleeping with older women," the source tells us. "He loves cougars and age is not a factor for his sexual conquests!"
We told you that the boy-bander has dated 32-year-old British TV presenter Caroline Flack, and 23-year-old Made in Chelsea star Caggie Dunlop.

I'm a girl thats harry styles age and i don't see anything wrong with older women dating harry. I date older men all the time. Most guys at my school will get with any aged woman as long as shes hot. Harry styles is attractive so women of all ages will find him attractive.He's not a kid, hes a young adult and most men and women find young adults attractive, nothing wrong with that. Age is just a number, maturity counts. People love to judge.

Title: | Effect of Carelink, an internet-based insulin pump monitoring system, on glycemic control in rural and urban children with type 1 diabetes mellitus |
Author: | Corriveau, Erin; Durso, Peter; Kaufman, Ellen; Skipper, Betty; Laskaratos, Louise; Heintzman, Kimberly |
Subject: | Carelink internet-based insulin pump monitoring system children with type 1 diabetes insulin pump therapy internet-based data analysis |
Abstract: | Objective: To determine whether use of the internet-based insulin pump monitoring system, Carelink, improved glycemic control in rural and urban children treated with insulin pump therapy. Research Design: We reviewed records of 94 children treated with insulin pump therapy between the years 2004 and 2007 and compared glycemic control, diabetes self-care measures, frequency of clinic visits, and geographic location associated with Carelink use. Results: Carelink users showed improvement in hemoglobin Alc (HBAlc)levels [8.0 ± 0.1 (SE) vs. 7.7 ± 0.1 (SE), p=0.002]. Carelink users uploaded pump and glucometer data 2.2 ± 1.8 (SD) times per month over 0.8 ± 0.4 (SD) yr. Patients who had no access to Carelink software and were followed in a conventional manner showed no change in HbA1c levels [8.0 ± 0.2 (SE) vs. 8.1 ± 0.2 (SE), p=0.17] during the study period. Carelink non-users, defined as patients who had Carelink access but did not use it, had a higher HbA1c level at the start of the study and did not change over the study period [8.9 ± 0.2 (SE) vs. 9.0 ± 0.3 (SE), p=0.82. Rural Carelink users showed improvement in IIbA1c levels following Carelink use [7.9 ± 0.2 (SE) vs. 7.4 ± 0.2 (SE), p=0.001], yet had significantly fewer clinic visits per year compared with urban patients [2.8 ± 0.2 (SE) vs. 3.5 ± 0.1 (SE), p=0.001]. Conclusion: Use of the Carelink system was associated with improved glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy. |

2009 Release is Identical to 2003 Release,
This review is from: Casablanca (Two-Disc Special Edition) (DVD)
This 2009 release of "Casablanca" is identical to the 2003 Special Edition release, except it's packaged in a regular DVD case as opposed to the cardboard case of the original. The first disc contains two commentary tracks (one with Roger Ebert, one with historian Rudy Behlmer), a two-minute introduction by Lauren Bacall, and a gallery of trailers. The film transfer is also identical to the original release, but this film looks about as great as it possibly can on DVD.
The second disc contains the one hour and twenty minute 1988 "Bacall on Bogart" documentary and a thirty-five minute making-of documentary "You Must Remember This: A Tribute to Casablanca". Next is a seven minute feature with Bogart's son and Bergman's daughter titled "As Time Goes By: The Children Remember", along with the eight minute 1995 cartoon spoof "Carrotblanca". A selection of deleted scenes and outtakes, totalling about seven minutes, are of particular interest here (though there is no sound for any of them), and a "Production Research" gallery. Of lesser interest is the premiere episode from the 1955 "Casablanca" TV series titled "Who Holds Tomorrow?", it's a noble failure and clocks in at about nineteen minutes. As far as special features go, the only thing the "Casablanca" Ultimate Collector's Edition has over this release is the hour-long 1993 documentary "Jack Warner: The Last Mogul" on a third disc. It's quite entertaining and informative, particularly for film buffs, but it's really the only reason to purchase the 'Ultimate' edition. That is, unless one cares about a small book of production photos, office memos, lobby & poster cards, and a passport holder and luggage tag emblazoned with "Casablanca".

An Even More Ultimate "Ultimate Edition?" Warner Seeks Another DVD Dip For This 70th Anniversary Tribute,
By K. Harris "Film aficionado" (StudioCityGuy33 at Yahoo dot com) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Casablanca (70th Anniversary Limited Collector's Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray)
One of the greatest movies ever and an enduring American classic is back for another DVD go-around! Say it isn't so. In 2003, I snapped up the impressive 2-Disc Special Edition DVD. In 2008, I couldn't resist going Blu-ray with the comprehensive Ultimate Collector's Edition. I didn't think that a few years later, Warner would be trumpeting an even more advanced collection. How many times are we expected to dip into the same well? I mean, I know it's "Casablanca" but when is enough actually enough? And to use their own terminology, when does ultimate really mean ultimate? I'm not going to synopsize the film or offer a traditional review, I suspect if you're shopping this pricey new version that you are well aware of the merits of the film itself. Instead, I will highlight what is included. Is it worth the upgrade? That's an individual answer, to be sure, but if you are an enthusiast who owns the Ultimate Collection or a casual viewer that already has the Blu-ray edition--the conclusion might indeed be "no." If, however, you have yet to go Blu on this title or are a compulsive completist/collector--now may be as good a time as any to pony up the bucks for this limited edition set.
Contents: This box set will be a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack with 3 discs, the third disc being dedicated to three feature length documentaries. It is a numbered Limited Edition, only 50,000 will be made available. The double wide display box contains several new collectibles including a 62 page production art book (with never before seen photos, communications, and archived documents about the film), a full size reproduction of the 1942 movie poster, and four drink coasters. I love this silly collectible stuff, but what is it with coasters in these deluxe sets? Transfer: Both the DVD and Blu-ray are boasting new 2012 4K transfers. Arguably, this is the one aspect that might make me seriously recommend an upgrade. For my money, though, the previous Blu-ray release is extremely satisfying and competent. It is NOT a transfer that was begging for a polish. NEW Special Features: 2 Documentaries (about 45 minutes of content total): 1) Casablanca: An Unlikely Classic 2) Michael Curtiz: The Greatest Director You Never Heard Of Feature Length Documentaries On Third Disc (all previously released): 1) You Must Remember This: The Warner Bros. Story (2008) 2) The Brothers Warner (2008) 3) Jack L. Warner: The Last Mogul (1993) OLD Special Features: Items from the Ultimate Collection will all be carried over. They include: 1) Commentary by Roger Ebert 2) Commentary by Rudy Behlmer 3) Introduction by Lauren Bacall 4) "Now Voyager" Trailer 5) Newsreel footage 6) Vaudeville Days short 7) The Bird Came C.O.D short 8) The Squawkin' Hawk short 9) The Dover Boys at Pimento University or The Rivals of Roquefort Hall 10) Great Performances: Bacall on Bogart 11) You Must Remember This: A Tribute to Casablanca 12) As Time Goes By: The Children Remember 13) Deleted Scenes 14) Outtakes 15) Who Holds Tomorrow? 16) Carrotblanca - Vintage Cartoon 17) Scoring Stage Sessions 18) 4/26/43 Lady Esther Screen Guild Theater Radio Broadcast 19) 11/19/47 Vox Pop Radio Broadcast As you can see, it is a comprehensive list of extras. All told, there is over 14 hours worth of material, but only about 45 minutes of it is new. Worth an upgrade? Probably not if you own the Ultimate, but you won't catch me giving "Casablanca" less than 5 stars. KGHarris, 2/12.

Here's Looking at Blu, Kid,
This review is from: Casablanca [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Perhaps not in all of cinema's history has there been a movie with such brilliant writing, scoring, acting, and numbers of emotional close ups.
Casablanca is a legend of nearly 70 years, but thanks to Blu Ray technology it doesn't have to feel that way. Watching this classic in 1080p is truly an experience, and I have to praise Warner for providing us with the absolutely best possible transfer this film has ever seen. There's not a trace of grain or flicker or anything you'd expect from a film this old, and the result is stunning. If you've seen the movie before, it's time to relive with this remarkable new technology. If you've somehow missed it on TCM, get cultured and experience one of the greatest films in our history in a way no generation has ever been able to do. Blu Ray. It not only improves the viewing experience, but it invites the viewer right into the moment. With clarity as perfect as this, you forget you're even watching a film and instead feel as though you've tapped into the memories of the characters portrayed. I don't feel the need to mention the movie's plot, as most I'm guessing have either already seen it before or can find that out elsewhere, so I want to end this review with what you are probably most wondering about anyway. Is the Blu Ray transfer worth buying this for? If I haven't made it clear enough already, YES. I've seen some poor Blu Rays transfers, but this is not one of them. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's one of the best I've seen. The extras, though I haven't experienced them yet, look interesting, including an audio commentary by movie critic Roger Ebert. All in all I'd say that this release is definitely worth getting even if Casablanca isn't your favorite movie of all time. It is a classic, and it is an experience, and with Blu Ray it's better than ever before.

"You must remember this"....,
This review is from: Casablanca (Snap Case) (DVD)
It's hard to believe that when Casablanca was filmed at Warner Bros. Studios in 1942 it was "just another" of the 50 or so films that the studio was producing every year, as Lauren Bacall points out in the documentary about the film included in the special features. The movie was an instant success with audiences everywhere, and won three Academy Awards including Best Picture. Called "America's most popular and beloved movie- and rightly so" by The Motion Picture Guide, and "The best Hollywood movie of all time" by Leonard Maltin, Casablanca was voted the #2 film in a list of the top 100 films of this century by the American Film Institute.
Set in refugee strewn French North Africa in 1942, Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a night club owner, and his friend Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains), Prefect of Police, enter into a wager as to whether or not Resistance Leader Victor Laslo (Paul Henreid) will be able to escape Casablanca and reach the Free World. When Laslo arrives in Casablanca, Rick is stunned to find him accompanied by his ex-lover, Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman). Filled with mystery, suspense, intrigue and romance, Casablanca will remain a favorite of classic movie lovers for years to come. The supporting cast include Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre and Dooley Wilson as Rick's piano playing confidant, Sam. The entire cast are superb, the settings are excellent, and the cinematogrophy is wonderful. The song "As Time Goes By" was made famous by Casablanca, as it's melody is entwined throughout the film, and it too is now a classic, filled with romance and nostalgia. This is one film that absolutely MUST be in your DVD library!

New Ultimate edition for collectors (and gift-givers) coming out for Christmas,
By Sanpete (in Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casablanca (Ultimate Collector's Edition) (DVD)
Possibly the most popular film around, 1942's Casablanca pairs two iconic actors, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, in a story of lost love and reluctant heroism. Warner Brothers put out an excellent 2-disc Special Edition in 2003. (That older set is going to receive new artwork on December 2nd, but it will otherwise be the same.) This new 3-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition includes the 2003 set and adds a documentary about studio head Jack Warner, along with a bunch of memorabilia. Here are the announced new features, the ones not included in the 2003 set. All but the first are memorabilia.
-- Jack L. Warner: The Last Mogul, a 1993 full-length biographical documentary (104 minutes) -- 48-page photo book -- 10 roughly 5x7" cards with color reproductions of poster art and such -- 3 reproductions of archival correspondence (a memo from producer Hal Wallis changing the title to Casablanca, a memo from Wallis to studio head Jack Warner urging the casting of Bogart over George Raft, and a letter from the publicity head instructing the publicist to shift Bogart's image from tough to romantic lead) -- reproduction of Victor Laszlo's letter of transit -- passport holder with Casablanca logo -- luggage tag with Casablanca logo -- mail-in offer for 27x40" movie poster -- all in a pretty collector's box with an intricate laser-cut Moroccan design The documentary, which comprises the third disc, is also available separately (here). It was written, directed and produced by a grandson of Warner, and is said (by Variety) to be somewhat sentimental but not to overlook Warner's defects. It isn't about Casablanca in particular. There are more than enough extras in the 2-disc edition for most people. I'll list them below. The video and sound quality of that set are very good, and they should be the same in this new edition. The movie is set in 1941 Casablanca, Morocco, controlled by the Nazi-collaborating Vichy French government. Bogart plays Rick, a nightclub owner with a past he doesn't talk about and a determination not to get caught up in current events. "I stick my neck out for nobody," he says. He comes into possession of two letters of transit, invaluable items to the many refugees seeking passage out of the grasp of the Nazis. The intended recipients of the letters soon show up, resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) and his wife Ilsa (Bergman). Ilsa, it turns out, was once Rick's lover, who broke his heart when she left him with no explanation. Their old flame is rekindled despite themselves, and Rick must decide whether to help his rival for her love, thereby helping the war effort he has claimed no interest in, or help himself. No one expected this movie to be such a classic, and even though it won three major Academy Awards, including Best Picture, it only gained its place as a classic gradually over the years. Undoubtedly the two stars are a big part of the reason it grew on us. Bogart is perfect as a cynic who has more heart than he lets on. Just by being there, Bergman instantly conveys every reason we need to understand Rick's broken heart and feel the force of his dilemma, and she convincingly portrays her own conflict between two loves. Somehow the movie also gets other things just so. Several of the supporting actors manage to be morally corrupt and still likable; others are just likable. The writing, a fair amount of it done quickly, by committee, with no thought of it being great writing, has panache, and hits on several turns of phrase that just work. All of these things lift up the story of love, higher duty, and the triumph of good over evil, and over cynicism. Here's the list of the features included from the 2003 Special Edition: -- Introduction by Bogart's wife and frequent co-star Lauren Bacall (2 minutes) -- Audio commentaries . . . . . by Roger Ebert . . . . . by film historian/author Rudy Behlmer -- Documentaries and featurette . . . . . Bacall on Bogart, a TCM documentary from 1988 (83 minutes) . . . . . You Must Remember This: A Tribute to Casablanca, a 1992 documentary narrated by Bacall (35 minutes) . . . . . As Time Goes By: The Children Remember, with Bogart's son Stephen and Bergman's daughter Pia Lindstrom (7 minutes) -- Production research gallery, with scads of documents including memos, script pages, and production stills (12 minutes) -- Deleted scenes, with subtitles but no sound (2 minutes) . . . . . Rick tells Laszlo he wants to sell the letters of transit for 100,000 francs . . . . . Rick's bartender Sascha serves a doctored drink to a German soldier -- Outtakes (goofs), no sound or subtitles (5 minutes) -- Take-offs on the movie . . . . . April 26,1943 Screen Guild Players radio broadcast, an abridged Casablanca with Bogart, Bergman and Henreid, audio only (22 minutes) . . . . . Who Holds Tomorrow?: Premiere Episode excerpts, from the TV serial based on Casablanca, part of the 1955 Warner Bros. Presents series, starring Charles McGraw as Rick (18 minutes) . . . . . Carrotblanca, Looney Tunes cartoon with Bugs Bunny as Rick (8 minutes) -- Musical scoring sessions, audio only . . . . . "Knock on Wood" alternate version, Dooley Wilson and piano . . . . . "As Time Goes By Part One" alternate take, Wilson and piano . . . . . "As Time Goes By Part One" film version, Wilson and piano . . . . . Rick Sees Ilsa instrumental medley . . . . . "As Time Goes By Part Two" alternate take, Wilson and piano . . . . . "As Time Goes By Part Two" film version, Wilson and piano . . . . . At La Belle Aurore instrumental medley . . . . . "Dat's What Noah Done" outtake, Wilson and piano -- Trailers . . . . . original theatrical trailer . . . . . 1992 re-release trailer -- Text only . . . . . A Great Cast is Worth Repeating, on the times the cast played together in other movies . . . . . cast and crew . . . . . awards That's plenty for most fans, though collectors aren't most fans. Whichever edition you get, the movie is the main thing. It's a great one, not to be missed.

Unexpected pleasure,
By SSKing (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Casablanca [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
We have the standard DVD version but wished to try the blu-ray format. Being black and white, we thought the improvements over the previous version would be minimal. Not so! Differences are remarkable. One can see details in the artists' dresses, for example, that are entirely missed in the DVD version. Strongly recommended, especially for Casablanca fans like us who never miss a chance to seeing it again!

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Casablanca (70th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Even after 70 years, the greatness of CASABLANCA remains timeless. This captivating classic, so vividly played out and cinematically crafted, is a textbook example of the Hollywood studio system at its absolute best.
The 70th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition restores the film's pictorial splendor, surpassing the previous version which used too much DNR. This time the film's inherent grain texture isn't smoothed away along with a measure of sharpness, but is evenly configurated resulting in perfect black and white image resolution that replicates 35mm film. CASABLANCA is offered both as a Blu-ray/DVD special combo package and as a single Blu-ray disc. The big set comes with an array of bonus material, much of which was bumped over from the previous Blu-ray edition, including the commentaries by Roger Ebert and Rudy Behlmer. There's also some photographic and printed memorabilia, and a few new documentaries on the making of the film, on its director, Michael Curtiz, another on the history of Warner Bros., and one on its chief mogul, Jack L. Warner. The single Blu-ray has all the video/audio extras except the two Warner documentaries, and doesn't include any memorabilia items. One of my all-time top favorites, CASABLANCA is a movie I enjoy playing again and again, and if that's true of you, then this upgrade is a must.

Casablanca HD DVD technical quality,
By HD DVD fan (San Juan, P.R., USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casablanca [HD DVD] (HD DVD)
I agree that any review of an HD DVD disk should include an opinion as to its technical quality, if possible comparing it to the regular DVD release. For the Casablanca HD DVD, I found the following opinion in the online magazine Perfect Vision, a high end technologically oriented magazine: "Casablanca is the film to see as the black-and-white showcase of hi-def. The setting of Morocco and Rick's Café Americain jump from the screen in breathtaking crystal clarity."

A classic summed up in one scene,
By Michael K. Beusch (San Mateo, California United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Casablanca (Snap Case) (DVD)
A friend of mine asked me to show him Casablanca about 15 years ago. He seemed to like the film enough until the famous Le Marsailles scene where Paul Henreid's Victor Laszlo rallies the Rick's Cafe Americain crowd (and drowns out the Germans) with a rousing rendition of the French national anthem. At that point my friend sneered with disgust that the scene was ludicrous because the French are a bunch of defeatist cowards who would never show such blatant resistance. I tried to explain to him both the historical context and the importance of the scene to the film. He wouldn't have it -- his mind was made up. Disgusted, I switched off the VCR and told him that if he couldn't accept that scene, he might as well not watch the rest of the movie. I haven't seen this friend in over ten years, so I don't know if he ever saw the whole film and/or broadened his Bill O'Reilly perception of the French. I certainly hope so.
What's amazing to me is that several other people I've met have questioned the purpose of that scene minus the anti-France diatribe. Some of them see the scene as wartime jingoism. Some of them like the scene but still think it's unnecessary. One girl in my college film class even said that the scene's purpose was solely to "give Paul Henreid more to do." Mind boggling, to say the least. Up until the Le Marsailles scene, we think we know the characters and their motivations: Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine is a world-wearly cynic who was left embittered by his Ilsa Lund's perceived abandonment -- his past as a gun runner to the Republican forces in Spain seems to be a part of him that is dead and buried; Ingrid Bergman's Ilsa Lund is the woman who has callously deserted our hero for Victor Laszlo, though it is clear she is still in love with Rick; Henreid's Victor Laszlo is a cold and distant person who puts everything, including Ilsa, second to his work; Claude Rains' Louis Renault is an amoral bureaucrat whose own pleasures are his only motivation. The Les Marsailles scene, however, puts everything into perspective, giving the characters depth as well as foreshadowing what they will do later in the film. The Germans, led by Conrad Veidt's Major Strasser, are singing German military songs when Laszlo commandeers Rick's band and leads them, the patrons and the staff in a chorus of Les Marsailles that drowns out the Germans. Rick doesn't have to order his band to accompany Laszlo in his rendition of Les Marsailles, but he unhesitatingly gives his permission, hinting that his long dormant idealism is still alive and well. It sets up his memorable sacrifice at the end of the film when he gives up the love of his life for the greater good. The audience, likewise, gains a much greater understanding of Ilsa from that scene. Up until that time, the audience is tempted to wonder why she would leave Rick for this activist who puts his cause above everything, including her. She may still love Rick, but when she gazes at Laszlo during the scene, it's clear that not only does she love him as well, she also believes in his cause and admires the passion and fervor he brings to his work and beliefs. Suddenly, the audience realizes why it's not so easy for Ilsa to simply go back to Rick and why the decision is so difficult for her. Laszlo suddenly becomes worthy of competing with Rick for Ilsa's affections. As much as we root for Rick, we also realize during this scene that Laszlo is a true hero who, unlike Rick, has never lost his passion and idealism despite the horrors he has been put through and witnessed. For the first time, the audience begins to wonder if Ilsa should really choose Rick over Laszlo. Later, when Rick initially denies the letters of transit to Ilsa so she and Laszlo can escape, the audience's sympathies have turned 180 degrees from the beginning of the film. We begin to see Rick as somewhat selfish for letting his own desires get in the way of the cause. When he comes to his senses and not only gives Ilsa and Laszlo the letters, but gives up Ilsa as well, we know that it's the right decision. Louis' later conversion to the side of right and virtue isn't as blatantly foreshadowed in the Les Marsailles scene. However, when the Germans are singing their military songs, he does register pronounced disgust with what he is hearing. He half-heartedly fights Major Strasser's later order to shut down Rick's, saying lamely that "everyone is having such a good time." However, he has made clear with his earlier expression of disgust that he detests the Germans and goes along with their orders out of convenience and not idealogical agreement. Without the Les Marsailles scene, Rick goes from cynic to idealist without any explanation, Ilsa's indecision is inexplicable, Laszlo seems unworthly to take Ilsa from Rick and Louis goes from appeaser to resistor without any warning. The story just wouldn't work without it. The scene switches the focus of the story from lost love to supporting the greater good. It's emotion rivals that of the final airport scene and is absolutely critical to Casablanca. It's so important to the story that I think that the film wouldn't have become the classic it is without it. In 1981, Harry Reasoner produced an excellent segment for 60 Minutes on Casablanca. He pointed out that when Casablanca was released, the Germans did occupy France as well as large parts of Africa, including Casablanca. This wasn't a period piece about events from a long time ago and the emotions portrayed in the Les Marsailles scene were very fresh and very current at the time Casablanca was being filmed. Not only is it absolutely critical to the plot, but it is also a snapshot of the feelings and passions of that time as it was happening. I hope that those who dismiss the scene can go back and, with some deepened perspective, can understand both why the Les Marsailles scene is so important to Casablanca's greatness and what it tells us about what 1942 America's beliefs and feelings were. It might give renewed perspective on our own conflict in Iraq. At the very least, I hope it convinces my friend that the French aren't really so bad after all.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a 2012 review of the NEW Limited BLU RAY set!!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Casablanca (70th Anniversary Limited Collector's Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray)
Reviews on Amazon.com can be confusing as they lump reviews for the same movie on every format and version so you have folks complaining about quality next to those doing leaps for joy! To be clear I just picked up the new Ultimate 70th anniversary box set ahead of release date...and the review that follows is for this edition to help others like myself who may have one or all of the previous editions decide if in this economic crunch dipping into the wallet again is worth it. I rushed to write this figuring at $44 on Amazon.com the price is low now and I'm trying to help those "on the fence" as it were.
The movie itself needs no review... its in most peoples top 10 list of all time classics and the volumes of extra features and commentaries are for the most part re-purposed from earlier releases (and spelled out elsewhere so I will not be redundant in listing them) but that isn't always the case with re-issues and I know as I have many duplicate movies because a newer version doesn't contain the featurette or commentary from an inferior previous edition print quality wise... so Kudos to WB for making all previous editions expendable from that standpoint... so... WHAT is different, and is it worth your money? the two featurettes that ARE new ..I appreciate a lot. Michael Curtiz is without a doubt one of the greatest directors ever with an early run of classics with Errol Flynn (Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, Robin Hood, The Charge of the light Brigade and more) to Casablanca, Yankee Doodle Dandy , Mildred Pierce and even White Christmas just for starters in his resume and it great to have something on him finally. To answer the 64k dollar question YES...the image quality on the new blu-ray is noticeably improved and I'm not even a guy with a massively expensive home theater system and I was blown away by the rich blacks and overall just the brilliant and staggeringly beautiful black and white film I was enjoying..seemingly for the first time at moments. I picked mine up for a bit over 50 bucks and consider it a deal. If you don't really care about Michael Curtiz or a better picture...the old Blu Ray set or even single blu ray disc will be fine for many... but if you are a film fan and a fan of glorious Black & White with lovely play between shadows and light....don't miss it! UPDATE!! I just found a single disc version of this as an exclusive at Target for only $14.99!!! Its the same first disc as this set with the two new documentaries...a bunch of the older ones AND the newly upgraded video for a fraction of the price ...so if you don't want the book and the box and the extra DVD ....THIS IS A DEAL. I think had I seen it first I'd skip the box!!!! Hope this helps... |

Udder edema is the accumulation of fluid in the udder region around the time of calving.
Swelling is a normal part of calving. Heifers will begin to "bloom" up to a few months in advance of their first calving. Their tiny udder will slowly grow larger and may some days take on an odd shape as the fluids are squished around from place to place. Remember, all this skin is stretching out for the first time! Cows are more likely to get moderate edema closer to calving (2 weeks or less) and tend to recover more quickly than first time calvers.
Notice on the cow in the picture, under her belly is loose and full of liquid. This is the fluid retention settling from gravity into a low spot. More common in first-time calvers than in older cows. It will go away on its own over a few week period.
The edema will move around like putty depending on how the cow lays. If she is always laying on one side, then the swelling will get pushed all to one side also. Or maybe she switches back and forth, then one day she might have a huge right rear quarter and the next day a huge left rear quarter. It's not mastitis, it's just all that mess floating around.
The cow in these pictures has an excellent crease, but if you are concerned that the swelling is putting too much pressure on the crease, then you can rub lotion into the crease. Put your arm between her back legs and rub the cream along the seam all the way up to the top of her rear udder. Work in the cream and rub from the bottom of the udder up to the very top of the udder and repeat in an upward motion to help move the fluid out of the udder. This works best if done after milking the cow and for 10-20 minutes. (http://www.agromedia.ca/ADM_Articles/content/freshcow.pdf)
A good lotion to use is one that contains Tea Tree Oil and Peppermint Essential Oils (EO). The brand name Udder Comfort, Udder Mint etc. is very expensive. If you feel comfortable making your own lotion, you can purchase the essential oils fairly inexpensively online and add them to a base. My base is 2/3 shea butter and 1/3 olive oil, but you can experiment with lotions from what you have on hand (or purchase along with the EO's). I liked the thicker cream for winter time, which can get very cold (chapped teats!).
When milking, massage each area of the udder to attempt complete milkout.
Watch for sores on the inside of the leg where the filled out udder can rub on the inside of the leg and cause sores. If sores are detected, try to keep the area clean but also use some lotion to keep the friction down so the leg can move smoothly without causing more sores.
A cow with edema will have swollen teats, so the first few times milking her may be quite difficult. Do not lose hope, each milking should become easier and easier!
Limit intake of salt, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium to help limit edema.
Allow for moderate exercise for the cow. An active cow will heal more quickly than a stationary cow. Do limit activities that may harm the suspensory ligaments (ie. Do not let the cow run out to pasture).
Every cow gets edema at calving time, and almost every cow will lose all of the edema within the period of one month or so. General care is adequate in treating edema unless milking time and cow health is seriously hindered by edema that is severe.
For serious, detrimental edema (rare):
- Once fresh, if edema is severe, a quick way to reduce it is to milk the cow 3x a day for a week or more.
- We do not recommend pre-milking a cow before she calves. Occasionally though, the cow will be dripping streams of milk or have an enormous udder, so pre-milking may be necessary in that case. (If pre-milking, be sure to save and freeze enough colostrum for the calf when it is born!)
- Oxytocin may be used to improve let-down, but should only be used on occasion to prevent dependence.
- Dexamethasone can be prescribed by a vet if the edema is untreatable.
- A cow with a slipped median suspensory ligament will hold in permanent edema, which does not go away no matter what you try. So, try to avoid buying a cow with a weak or slipped ligament. (Flat between the rear teats, where there is not much crease.)
- TMR, a "hot" diet can cause excess swelling in the udder (as well as in other parts of the body such as the joints), even well after calving. Avoid feeding a diet too high in energy (too much grain or silage) at any point in a cow's life.

Oh geez. The San Francisco Giants were dealt another blow after Pedro Sandoval, arguably the team's best hitter, fractured his left hamate bone.

Executive Summary
The Enterprise Architecture (EA) concept, used by the IT industry for many years, provides a transformational framework by fitting Telecom grade quality and reliability attributes into IT grade environments. EA describes the elements of business strategy, business case and business model, processes, supporting technologies, policies, and infrastructures that make up an enterprise. It also covers the practices of governing the enterprise, its information systems and planning changes to improve integrity and flexibility. EA is a huge concept and trying to embrace all aspects at once would be extremely difficult.

Robear robot care bear designed to serve Japan's aging population
posted by Larra Morris
Japan is facing an aging population in the coming decades and that means more people requiring care, and less people to provide it. In an effort to meet the shortfall, RIKEN and Sumitomo Riko Company Limited have developed Robear, an experimental nursing care robot that combines advanced robotics and a non-threatening design.
Robear is based on Riken's Robot for Interactive Body Assistance (RIBA) and RIBA II assistance robots that were unveiled in 2009 and 2011, respectively. It was developed by the RIKEN-SRK Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research in Nagoya, and is designed to be strong, yet gentle, with a cartoonish head and a soft design that is intended to be as un-Transformer-like as possible.

Watch a robot play the violin better than you can
posted by Larra Morris
Wish you hadn't been so quick to give up violin practice as a kid? You may never get to turn back the clock, but retired engineer Seth Goldstein is showing that there's still hope of reliving those musical ambitions through technology. He recently showed off Ro-Bow, a kinetic sculpture that uses robotic fingers (specifically, electromagnetic actuators) to play digital music files on a real violin. While the machine won't have concert performers rethinking their careers, it's probably better with a bow than you were way back when -- it can handle a fast Irish jig as well as a slow, sentimental tune like "Amazing Grace." The Ro-Bow hardware would have to shrink and get a bit of polish to be useful as more than an art project, of course.

Astronomers discover mysterious black hole as massive as 12 billion suns
posted by Laura Domela
In a galaxy far, far away—12.8 billion light-years away to be more exact—is a newly-discovered supermassive black hole that weighs as much as 12 billion of our suns. The most surprising thing about the black hole, though, is not its size but its age.
Black holes grow as they age, gobbling up gas and stars that foolishly venture too close. Astronomers have found more massive black holes before, but this one is surprisingly young. Because it is so far away, we "see" the black hole as it was 12.8 billion light-years ago, or only about 875 million years after the Big Bang. Astronomers are puzzled how this black hole grew so huge in so short a time.

3D engineered bone marrow-like material produces functioning human platelets
posted by Larra Morris
Researchers at Tufts University School of Engineering and the University of Pavia (Italy) have developed a three-dimensional tissue made from porous silk, that's capable of producing platelets for clinical use. The development is expected to have a significant impact on treatment of blood diseases.
Platelets are cell fragments containing no nucleus, produced by megakaryocytes found in bone marrow. They're an essential component in the blood clotting process, but can also play a role in strokes and heart attacks, making an increased understanding of their production an important area of investigation. In the study, researchers aimed to create an artificial bioreactor that mimics the microenvironment present in bone marrow, facilitating the artificial formation of platelets.

Broken Age has long blown past its originally projected release date, but the documentary series available to backers continues to be a regular and excellent thing. Each episode goes into the development process in great detail – and in doing so, telegraphs news like this long in advance: Act 2 of the adventure game has slipped from the end of the year and into early next.

Broken Age Comes Out Today: Are You Going To Buy It?
By John Walker on January 28th, 2014.
Today is likely to be one of the most interesting days for Kickstarter watchers. Broken Age, the adventure game that made the crowdfunding format a gaming household name, is out on sale today. Right now, in fact. So the question that's left to be answered is: how many people are there who are interested in buying it, who weren't interested in funding it?
Hands On: Broken Age
By John Walker on January 14th, 2014.
It's finally here. Well, if you were a backer. After almost two years since Tim Schafer kickstarted Kickstarter as one of the primary tools for funding independent videogame development, the Double Fine Adventure, Broken Age, is in players' hands. With $3.3m raised, from 90,000 backers, and a year and a half more development than they planned, the first point and click adventure Schafer has made in twenty years will be out proper on the 28th, but the "beta" is with the backers today. Double Fine have asked both backers and press to hold off talking about most of the game until that latter release date, and it'll be interesting to see how that goes. But for the moment, here are some early impressions of the first stages of the game.
Edit: Splendid news. Double Fine have lifted the embargo, and we'll be able to bring you our review very soon.
Double Fine's Broken Age Receives Trailerage
By Adam Smith on March 28th, 2013.
Double Fine must be celebrating their crowdfunded adventure game's birthday, or some other sort of coming-of-Broken-Age event, because the game has received lots of gifts this week. First it was an actual name and a website, and now there's a trailer. Lucky Broken Age! Nobody has ever made a trailer about me and I've had more birthdays than I care to remember. This is my first proper look at the art style and I think it's absolutely delightful.
The Double Fine Adventure Has A Name: Broken Age
By Adam Smith on March 25th, 2013.
The Double Fine Adventure has a name and a website. It's called Broken Age, which strikes me as a decent moniker, although I've already started reading it as one word, rendering it all but meaningless. "The toaster is not working. It is suffering from severe brokenage." Broken Age is a point and click adventure and it has two protagonists, both of whom are presumably playable. They are "leading parallel lives":
The girl has been chosen by her village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster–but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, a boy on a spaceship is living a solitary life under the care of a motherly computer, but he wants to break free to lead adventures and do good in the world. Adventures ensue.
They should have called it 'Adventures Ensue'.
Kickstarter ♥ Games: $50 Million Raised In Six Months
By Andrew Smee on September 10th, 2012.
I suppose we all knew this deep down, but it's startling to see it laid out in pretty graphs: 2012 has seen a massive, massive increase on games funding through Kickstarter. Eye wateringly huge. In six short months they have exploded from the eighth most-funded category in Kickstarter history to the second most-funded, and the first-most funded category of the year, having raised a staggering $50,330,275 in 2012 alone. I mean, just look at that graph. JUST LOOK AT IT.
And I do mean in 2012 alone. Look at 2011! Nothing! Pittance! Pennies compared to this year.
Double Fine Adventure Documentary Is An Aching Grin
By Nathan Grayson on May 12th, 2012.
I feel like uplifting documentaries may be the secret cure for all of societies greatest ills. This goes double, for some reason, when independent game developers are involved. Minecraft's proof-of-concept made me feel like I, too, could single-handedly build a blocky bridge between Sweden and the rest of the world, and Indie Game: The Movie will probably be used to bring Sylvester Stallone back from the brink of defeat in the next Rocky movie. And now, along comes Double Fine Adventure's variation on the theme, in all its zany wonderfulness. It is, however, also an irresistibly smile-inducing glimpse behind the scenes of a company just as shocked by Kickstarter's piggy-bank-stuffing prowess as we all were at the time. Kick off your weekend by giving part one a watch after the break.

Niall - ImagineImagine for Nat i guess!Today was your birthday and your friends took you to a new restaurant in town. It was called Nando's and, of what you heard, it was fairly good. You were seated and looking at the menus when suddenly, outside the restaurant, girls started screaming. You all turned around to see what was happening but you couldn't see a thing, by the looks of it, a cute blond guy had just been pushed inside the restaurant and two buff guys behind were trying to keep the doors closed. Every one, already at their tables, started whispering, and pointing at the guy. He turned around and ended up looking at you and that's where it hit you: he was Niall Horan. The two security guards came to join him, but he wasn't paying attention. He only looked at you, and you only looked at him. Your friends noticed and started teasing you when Niall was directed by Paul to his table. Your dinner with friends was fun but the only thing on your mind was Niall and how amazing he looked. The waitres
Harry-Imagine 4You wake up to the sound of small steps outside your room. You look outside the window and see that it's pouring outside. You get up, put on a little bathrobe and open your room's door. Nothing's in the hall; as you convince yourself it was just the rain, you head back in your room. Before you close the door, you watch as your four years old little girl, named Darcy, comes running in your room and jumping on your bed, squealing.- I'm gonna get you my little Cici! Says Harry coming in your room and taking Darcy in his arms- Help me mummy! Says little Darcy laughing in Harry's armsYou laugh a little and start towards Harry. He puts Darcy down, and takes you in his arms, kissing you passionately. Further down the hall you hear the door opening.- Uncle Lou and auntie El!!!!! Screams Darcy running to the door- Well! If it isn't my little princess! You hear Lou exclaimHarry takes your hand and you walk out the room to go greet your guests. At the top of the stairs, you see Darcy on Lou

In closing, Dania is never mentioned in the article! Just another New Times scam (much like Jen Karetnick's restaurant reviews.). Oh, in no way is this meant to demean Vicente Lopez -- just the lazy asses at New Times!
Harvey Slavin
Editor's note: Thanks for the kind words, Harvey, but you're wrong. The story described how Lopez spent 20 years of his life working in Dania. May we recommend an Evelyn Woods course?
Not the editorial: I'm writing to let you know my thoughts about your magazine. First off, it is great for when I want to find out about what concerts are going to be coming to town. Also, I like it for locating movies and restaurants. There's one thing that I don't like, though, and that's all the ads in the back. Particularly the strip clubs, the swingers' clubs, XXX video shops, and the call girl/guy ads. Up to page 69 (no pun intended), it's a very respectable and informative paper. It's not the sort of paper you can leave in the waiting room of a doctor's office, though, because of the trash found in the back.
I believe there's a place for everything, and your paper shouldn't be the place for that kind of garbage. Maybe you might consider a pullout section for that stuff. Or just create a whole paper strictly for that kind of advertising so I can avoid having to deal with that garbage altogether. I hope that you don't take this too lightly, because I know of a lot of people who feel the same way. You might want to survey it. Who knows? I could be right.

From the links on the main Patsfans.com site... Seau Makes a blanket statement a good tidbit... "Belichick said the Patriots worked on specific situations at practice, which he feels will be especially critical against the Jets, and added that receiver Doug Gabriel, acquired from the Raiders Sept. 2, has picked up the offense well"
I hadn't noticed that quote. Thanks, that's good news. Now if only he and Chad can get those honey cured hams working properly...
That article was GREAT! A must read... full of interesting morsels... I liked what BB had to say about Seau: "The other day, Monday after the game, I was walking by the meeting room -- and this was before 6 a.m. -- and he was already in there watching film," Belichick said. "He's a football guy. He's into it." Belichick said Seau has been fun to coach. "He has a lot of energy on the field and he loves football," Belichick said. "He just wants to do it right, wants to win, and you can't ask any more than that." --- Looks like Junior is serious about proving he is not washed up... he has found a team that works hard to be the best and he seems to be taking to that attitude very well. I think this guy is going to really help us this year... I think he is going to be better than Ted Johnson had he hung around this long.
Seau's quicker/faster than ted johnson. Junior may stick around past this year. he's played for so few playoff-level teams that right now he must be really happy.
Re: Seau's quicker/faster than ted johnson. Maybe if we lose, and thats quite a big maybe. But if we were to win the Super Bowl what a high note he would go out on.
Wonderful! Clearly Junior is dead serious about wanting a championship. I think the Pats' success over the last few years is a two-edged sword. It helps to attract veteran players who have played well, but who have never won a ring, like Seau, but it is also a factor in losing good players who want big dough for being a part of that success and might also have developed a bit of a "been there, done that" attitude.
We have added a hungry vet who was at some point in his career a Pro bowler in each of the last two superbowl years. I excluded the 2001 season because I don't think New England was thought of as the best place to try and win a championship. 2003 we added Harrison in 2004 we added Dillon and last year we added noone. Hopefully Seau will fit the trend of 03 and 04.
Although I agree, in '01, NE was not necessarily the place to be, we did add a Pro Bowl talented player that year, that was a solid addition, Bryan Cox.
I was going to add him but it went against my premise. I don't believe he came here thinking that this was the best place to go to try and win a championship.
Before we get too excited here, we all know that BB sometimes says nice things about players that he doesn't really mean. Remember Grammatica was kicking great and Monty Beisel had made great progress, except that they didn't make the team.
Both those things were true. Gramatica was kicking well...but Gostokowski was kicking better. Beisel did improve a lot...but he still wasn't very good.
I agree, Cox didn't come here thinking he would go to the Super Bowl, but I think it was our first glimpse of Hoodie's M.O. to mix experience with youth.
Good point and I think you are absolutely correct. You could throw a number of players into that category phifer, hamilton etc.. It is the same way Parcells rebuilt the Pats and the Jets and what he is trying to do in Dallas. Bring in older guys that either played in your system or can adapt to your system quick and have them show the younger guys the ropes. The key to longevity (other than staying around to sustain what you built) is drafting well and letting the young guys get older to let the cycle continue.

good post, in Israel teachers are encouraged to carry.I was in your shoes. I am a school teacher, and can't carry at work, or even to and from work. I don't have the option of leaving it in my car, we get fired for that sort of thing. Anyhow, My husband has his CCW so home defence is covered, when he is not home I have the rifles and shotguns, so why would I need my CCW? Because I am not always at home or work. I am not always someplace safe and friendly, and even if I am someone else may not want it to stay that way.
I though, but I am a school teacher, what will people think if I am seen carrying a gun around?!?! What do I care, they will think I am crazy or that I am safe. Either way I know I am safer than if I didn't. If the cops are called they will ask for your licence and you will show it to them and you will both go on your marry ways, unless you are doing something stupid like waving your gun around. But I have never had the cops called on me just for carrying my weapon. I don't know about the rest of the people here, but I find most of the sheeple don't even notice the gun as long as one keeps it concealed.
So, for now, I started on this board without my CCW license, then after a few months I took my $50 and went down to the court house and got it. I am now a prowd carrier of the card. I usually only carry on the weekends, because that is the only time I know I will not be hitting school grounds.
Good luck making up your mind. Only you can deside if you want to practice your 2nd amendment rights. I you taking the time to think it over.
