Obama's options to avert war with Iran
As the nuclear standoff builds to a late-September deadline, the US must maneuver as well as Kennedy did during the 1962 Cuban crisis.
During the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, President Kennedy made a secret deal with the Soviet Union: He would remove US missiles from Turkey in exchange for the Kremlin pulling its missiles from Cuba. A war was averted.
Is President Obama heading toward a similar "crisis" – and secret compromise – with Iran?
Events appear to be heading quickly toward confrontation between Washington and Tehran. Consider these recent signals:
Facing an Obama-set deadline of late September to suspend its nuclear program in return for substantial talks or face tougher economic sanctions, Iran gave a weak response Tuesday. It said in a vague official memo that talks with Western powers are possible but only on broad international issues. Its nuclear program will continue.
The US and its partners in Europe were not impressed.
At the same time, the US announced Iran had achieved a "possible breakout capacity" to develop bomb-grade material from its enrichment of uranium – quickly, if it chose to.

I wish I could say that I was amazed that a band like Harry Pussy existed in an unlikely locale such as South Florida, but I wasn't. I was more amazed that they had been booked into the Cellblock. When the trio took the unlit stage, about fifteen or so people had gathered on the dance floor, staring curiously at the band. Less than a minute into their set -- as drummer Adris Hoyos and guitarists Bill Orcutt and Mark Feehan bashed furiously at their instruments, creating a dangerously loud racket -- the audience scattered. A few people laughed nervously after taking stools at the bar, but most took refuge out in the parking lot. After the first song, Orcutt said something like, "We're Harry Pussy from Miami," to which a liquored-up Southern boy in back shouted, "I'll take a hairy pussy from anywhere." Orcutt returned to the mike: "Welcome to Louisiana."
The band played for twelve or so minutes. The volume was painful. I drove home that night thinking it was the greatest aural spectacle I'd ever witnessed.
I think I will forever associate the music of Harry Pussy with the year or so I spent in Shreveport. It was a time of frustration, of displacement and isolation. At The Times I was unable to write anything close to what I wanted, and was unable to soften that blow in my usual fashion -- namely, to hit the local record stores and immerse myself in new music. Most of the stuff I bought while living there was through mail-order companies such as Ajax and Drunken Fish. Nearly all of it was harsh, noisy, grating -- the dense sound-collage creations of A Handful of Dust, the grinding rumble and distortion of the Dead C., and the dope-smoking fuzzball improv of Bardo Pond and A Temple of Bon Matin.
But it was Harry Pussy that spent the most time on my turntable. Their music for me was sheer catharsis, an ideal soundtrack for a mental unraveling, a means of emotional release like nothing I had heard since my preteen exposure to the Sex Pistols and the Clash. Harry Pussy's music was more than punk rock. I heard in it a sense of daring and exploration that connected it in my mind and ears to the free-jazz cacophony of Cecil Taylor; to the early industrial roar of White House; to the chaotic shriek and alternate guitar tunings of Glenn Branca, early Sonic Youth, and the New York No Wavers who preceded them; to the feedback howl of Masonna and Merzbow; and even the playful noise of Boredoms (although there was nothing silly in Harry Pussy's noise).
When it looked like I would be moving from Shreveport to Miami, I was thrilled at the thought of leaving behind the depression and claustrophobia of small-town life. But I think I was just as thrilled at the thought of seeing Harry Pussy again.
And now Harry Pussy is no more. Or rather, it won't be after May 4, when the band takes the stage at Churchill's for what they claim will be the last time. (There's talk of a European tour before it's all officially kaput, but the Churchill's gig will be their parting local shot.) Harry Pussy is currently on a U.S. tour in support of its third album, an untitled, self-released collection issued for now on vinyl; it is the first waxing featuring new guitarist Dan Hosker (Holy Terrors), who replaced Feehan last year. A flu-bitten Orcutt, on the phone last week during a tour stop in Boston, explained the Harry Pussy breakup in typically succinct fashion: "We've been playing together five years. It feels like it's been long enough."
Maybe, but given the aural evidence on the new album, Harry Pussy has chosen to hang it up at their creative apex. Without compromising their eccentricities -- which range from Orcutt's inventive guitar playing to Hoyos's scary, wailing vocals -- the band is working closer to traditional compositional forms than ever before. An untitled song near the end of side one has a gloriously loopy riff that sounds for all the world like it was picked up from Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica; the funk-splattered "Chuck!" proves once and for all that Harry Pussy is -- was -- a groove band; and "Drop the Bomb" and "Sex Problem" are almost straightforward punk songs powered by, rather than simply enhanced by, Hoyos's ranting.
For a lot of people in these parts the dissolution of Harry Pussy probably won't mean much. I don't think I've spoken to more than ten people down here who gave a damn about Harry Pussy's music or the impact it had on a handful of noise-obsessed writers and record-buyers. And considering the infrequency of their club gigs around town, Harry Pussy's absence won't be felt at the few places here that would have them. Soon, though, they will be gone. Living in Miami just won't be the same.
Harry Pussy performs Sunday, May 4, at Churchill's Hideaway, 5501 NE 2nd Ave; 757-1807. The 18-and-over show starts at 9:00 p.m. Cover charge is $3.

Stock Market Today: Futures Higher as Market Builds Up for Further Climb
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The expected stock market correction remains elusive.
U.S. stock futures were looking at a fifth day of gains out of six on Friday, as the U.S. economy appears to be on track for a solid, sustained recovery. The eurozone shrugged off bad economic news that's been offset by hopes of more central bank stimulus, and geopolitical tensions eased a bit.
S&P 500 (SPY) futures were rising 4.75 points, or 6.82 points above fair value, to 1,958.25. The index is now down just 1.82% from its July 24 all-time intraday high after last Thursday's relatively shallow pullback of 3.9%, and is poised to break its 50-day moving average level to rise even further. Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) futures were gaining 44 points, or 52.42 points above fair value, to 16,726. Nasdaq (QQQ) futures were tacking on 13.3 points, or 15.49 points above fair value, to 3,981.3.

"The tide appears to have turned in the short-run and markets are seemingly bullish again," said Phillip Futures investment analyst Howie Lee.
Some data came in ahead of the open. U.S. producer prices rose 0.1% in July as expected, while the Empire State Manufacturing Index slid back in August but after a substantial gain in July. The U.S. economic calendar also includes July industrial production and capacity utilization figures at 9:15 a.m. and the August University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index at 9:55 a.m. In Friday's top corporate headlines, the world's largest soda-maker Coca-Cola (KO - Get Report) is paying $2.2 billion in cash for a 16.7% stake in energy-drink upstart Monster Beverage (MNST - Get Report). Coca-Cola shares were up 1.82% to $40.91 in premarket trading, while Monster Beverage shares were surging 25.28% to $89.81. Metals and mining company BHP Billiton (BHP) was adding on 2.04% to $72.60 after it said that it was planning a demerger of its aluminum, nickel and manganese assets, potentially creating a $14 billion spinoff company. J.C. Penney (JCP - Get Report) shares were higher by 2.26% to $9.96 as the retailer beat estimates in its earnings report Thursday after the bell.

I'll make this short but this batch had been giving me problems from the git go. 6 gallon cider to wine is the goal. The cider I purchased said no preservatives but I don't believe it. I have had so much trouble getting it to ferment. Started out wit EC-1118, and a hydrometer reading of .080 and it bubbled nicely for a couple days and quit. I let it go a couple weeks and the hydrometer read .080. Uh Oh. I made a super batch of yeast using water sugar and pure juice and when I had a gallon bubbling nicely I added it. Bubbled awesome for 2 or 3 days and quit. uh oh. I racked it to 5 gallons leaving a bunch of sludge behind. I built it back to 6 gallons using super yeast (like above) and white wine. The I did it again (getting desperate) but this time I added a total of 4 packets of yeast (2 ec-1118 and 2 ec 1116). half in a sugar water concoction again and half just poured in. Different result. Now for the last 2 weeks it would bubble in the airlock about every 6-8 seconds. now its down to 1 every 15-20 seconds. Question, what might I do next? what should I look for? Any more yeast and bread will form!
Oh yeah, the original Hydrometer was 1.080 now its down to 1.050. about 4% alcohol for 8 yeasts...
I just say I have never had that happen. I used only 1 packet of liquid yeast in my 5.5 gallon batch of Cider, and it took it from 1.079 to 1.000. I have used dry yeast and that has brought my cider down to 1.000 easily. What brand of juice are using? Maybe take a picture of it and post it.
Go Spartans!!http://www.youtube.com/MrSparty1995
In my notes I didn't write down the name of the cider. Should have. I highly suspect that the producers added sorbate or something in the process and it wasn't on the label. Next year if I do apples again, I'll go strait to the presses. I live in an area with a zillion apple trees around. Lots of cider/juice/apples locally grown.
My guess is a bad hydrometer. Test it in pure water.
Just because something CAN ferment, does not mean it SHOULD be fermented.
Water reads 1.00 I have several batches going in different stages. Mostly red wines. This is my first attempt using fresh cider. Its not the hydrometer.

Layoffs loom at auto parts warehouse
ANDERSONVILLE — Some 80 employees of the Advance Auto Parts distribution center are facing pink slips as part of a sweeping reorganization of the company, but its 119,000-square-foot facility will remain open.
"They are restructuring their delivery logistics," building owner Joe Hollingsworth Jr., CEO and owner of he Hollingsworth Companies, said Tuesday.
He said Advance Auto Parts has a long-term lease of the Hollingsworth Companies building in David Jones Industrial Park, and about 15 people will remain on the workforce.
As for the impending layoffs, "these jobs are lost for probably two years," Hollingsworth said. There are some expectations those positions may return, he added.
The Anderson County warehouse is for parts and products that linger longer on store shelves, Hollingsworth said. With the restructuring, the center will provide those items to 175 Advance Auto Parts stores "in their immediate region," he said.
Hollingsworth said there is no indication the company intends to close its Anderson County facility.
Otis Hatfield, manager of the distribution center, declined to comment.
The industrial park is next to Norris Freeway, and the warehouse is on a 19-acre tract.
Tim Thompson, president of the Anderson County Economic Development Association, said Advance Auto Parts located in the industrial park in 1997.
Advance Auto is a retailer of automotive aftermarket parts, accessories, batteries and maintenance items. Earlier this month, the Roanoke, Va.-based company reported third quarter earnings of $1.21 per diluted share, a 14.2 percent decrease compared to the third quarter last year.

By Jerome Wilson: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has decided to get an early start to his training camp by taking part in some early training without trainer Freddie Roach in the Philippines. Pacquiao, 33, has been working on his conditioning to get ready to start his training camp on April 16th for his June 9th fight against unbeaten Timothy Bradley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. While Pacquiao is still the favorite in the fight, its hard to know who will come out on top on June 9th because of how bad Pacquiao looked in his last fight against 38-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez. Many people thought that Pacquiao lost. At the very least, Pacquiao appeared clueless, slow and not sharp compared to his previous form in 2009. Buboy Fernandez, Pacquiaos close friend and helper, said this to Philstar.com Mannys moving well. But Im not surprised anymore. Its like he never stops training. Except for his timing, he never loses his power. Pacquiaos power isnt the issue here. Its his stamina and old legs. He no longer jumps around from side to side like he did in 2009 and earlier in his career. Since his fight with Joshua Clottey in 2010, Pacquiao has become a plodder. Whether that be from gaining too much weight or just plain old age rearing its ugly head, the reality is hes slowing down. Pacquiao can look great in training against a heavy bag, and over-matched sparring partners picked out for him, but in the ring hes not looked sharp in quite some time. Pacquiaos trainer Roach is currently working with former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan in the Philippines to try and get him ready for his May 19th rematch against Lamont Peterson. Pacquiao will be training for eight weeks to get ready for the Bradley fight. There was talk of Pacquiao having a 10 week plan, but itll only be eight weeks. You can call Pacquiao two weeks of conditioning as part of the training camp.

I am starting to reload my 223 brass. How can i tell if the powder charge is right for my ar.

First, use load data from a recognized source. Good sources would be a reloading manual, such as the Speer or Lyman manual, OR data taken from the powder company websites. In many of the manuals, it will list the type and barrel length that generated a given speed or energy. Second, you start with the starting load, and work up. ALWAYS. Examine the brass, and pay attention to the operation of your rifle. Condition of primers wil give you a lot of info on pressures. If the rifle is "short stroking", pay attention.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I am going to use AR-comp and use there load data for 223 55g. Starting with 90% of the powder charge. Now when working up the charge. How do you know when you have reached the right balance.
When you say strong are you refering to the kick/recoil
you want to pay attention to accuracy while working up a load. you will see the groups start large, then shrink, then get larger again as you incrementally increase your powder charge. go back to where the groups were the smallest and stay with that powder charge. if your gun doesn't cycle, you don't have enough powder. if your gun blows up, you have too much powder. try seating about .005 shorter than the max length. that will help keep them reliably feeding in your mags without causing pressure spikes from being too short. you do have a reloading manual and a set of calipers right? don't trust a cheap scale for your powder either. make damn sure your scale is correct.
I have have the hornedy book and turret press. Going to start with loading the powder by hand first so i can get the load down. Then going to use the powder loader that came with the press. I have a caliper and a scale.
I would also recommend a good quality Reloading Manual and a good Powder Measure. You will likely find as I have that the most accurate load is somewhere between the high load and the low load. A hot or high load usually does not produce the most accurate load and is a waste of powder in reality. For a new re-loader this is hard rule of logic to follow, but in time it will prove true! The Manual will also give the the average feet per second as well as other valuable information. Be sure and keep a detailed record on each batch you load! And as the guys have mentioned each gun has it's own individual personality if you would call it that. And each will respond best with a certain bullet, weight, powder and powder charge. As mentioned when you hit the correct combination the group size will shrink immediately compared to your previous test groups. Good Luck and Have Fun! ******* One last caution! Do not allow yourself to have distractions when loading! ******* 03
The Constitution is not an instrument for the Government to restrain the people. It is an instrument for the people to restrain the Government! *Patrick Henry Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." -- John F.

New York's latest crime-buster: muzzling toy guns
Her voice is impish and feminine, but her gun is menacing. "Give me your money," she says through a ski mask to a bank teller in New Jersey. The teller hands over $3,050, and the robber and another female speed off in a getaway car.
But this wasn't exactly a Thelma & Louise duo. These robbers were 14-year-old twin girls who held up a bank with a toy air-pellet gun this fall.
Their crime added fuel to a toy-gun scare that's sweeping the country: Baltimore just passed a law that makes it a misdemeanor to sell a BB gun to a minor; Chicago has introduced a bill to ban toy-pellet guns; Wal-Mart recently raised its age restriction for air-powered paint guns to 18; and Carrollton, Texas, has banned the public use of replica guns.
And in New York, the site of many toy-gun fatalities, City Council members have introduced a bill to ban the sale of all toy guns - a ban that has not yet passed anywhere in the US. If the bill is approved, officials think it could help blaze the trail for the state, as well as cities nationwide.
"We recognize that you can't pull all guns off the streets: If people have a criminal mind, they'll make a gun out of a stick," says Bill Wren, deputy chief of staff for Brooklyn Councilman Al Vann, who coauthored the bill. "But the bill is about how [a toy gun] makes people feel. If I feel threatened, I'm threatened."
According to the most recent study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 1990, police departments nationwide reported 31,650 imitation guns seized between January 1985 and September 1989 during crime-related incidents. In New York City alone, more than 1,400 toy guns were used in crimes in 1987, 80 percent more than four years earlier.

Hawaii, the easy way
While booking a stay in a luxury Hawaiian hotel isn't hard, finding one that will fly you there on a private jet might be. The Royal Lahaina Resort on Maui and the Royal Kona Resort on the Big Island offer to do just that, via a new service called POSH Private Jet Holidays. Ed Hogan, a 50-year travel-industry veteran and the subject of a BJT Center Stage feature in August 2004, owns both the hotels and the private jet operation.
The weeklong Hawaii package, which costs about $14,000 per couple, includes round-trip transportation from Van Nuys, Calif., on a specially outfitted, 14-passenger Gulfstream G450. (Hogan expects to have a second G450 in the air by the time you read this.) The flights feature gourmet meals catered to order, served on fine china and with Baccarat crystal, along with an upgraded entertainment system that allows passengers to monitor the aircraft's progress.

Working class (or lower class, labouring class, sometimes proletariat) is a term used in the social sciences and in ordinary conversation to describe those employed in lower tier jobs (as measured by skill, education and lower incomes), often extending to those in unemployment or otherwise possessing below-average incomes. Working classes are mainly found in industrialized economies and in urban areas of non-industrialized economies.
As with many terms describing social class, working class is defined and used in many different ways. When used non-academically, it typically refers to a section of society dependent on physical labor, especially when compensated with an hourly wage. Its use in academic discourse is contentious, especially following the decline of manual labor in postindustrial societies. It is often used synonymously for proletariat, particularly amongst Marxist authors. Some academics question the usefulness of the concept of a working class[citation needed].
The term is usually contrasted with the upper class and middle class, in general terms of access to economic resources, education, cultural interests, and other goods and services. The cut-off between working class and middle class is more specifically where a population spends money primarily as a lifestyle rather than for sustenance (for example, on fashion versus merely nutrition and shelter). Problematically, relying on this method of distinction would rule out many of the people who are often identified as working class.
Its usage can alternately be derogatory, or can express a sense of pride in those who self-identify as Working class.

For purposes of political science, and less scientific or journalistic political analysis, defining the working class as less well educated workers is useful. One can then meaningfully analyze the political opinions and political behavior of, say, the white working class in the United States. In the case of the United States, for example, the white working class is often defined as "white" (i.e. non-Hispanic) workers who have not completed college.[1]
Karl Marx defined the working class or proletariat as individuals who sell their labor power for wages and who do not own the means of production. He argued that they were responsible for creating the wealth of a society. He asserted that the working class physically build bridges, craft furniture, grow food, and nurse children, but do not own land, or factories. A sub-section of the proletariat, the lumpenproletariat (rag-proletariat), are the extremely poor and unemployed, such as day laborers and homeless people.
In The Communist Manifesto, Marx argued that it was the destiny of the working class to displace the capitalist system, with the dictatorship of the proletariat, abolishing the social relationships underpinning the class system and then developing into a future communist society in which "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all." In Capital, Marx dissected the ways in which capital can forestall such a revolutionary extension of the Enlightenment. Some issues in Marxist arguments about working class membership have included:
Some answers to some of these issues, as argued, analyzed, and formulated over the centuries, are:
In general, in Marxist terms, wage laborers and those dependent on the welfare state are working class, and those who live on accumulated capital and/or exploit the labor of others are not. This broad dichotomy defines the class struggle. Different groups and individuals may at any given time be on one side or the other. For example, retired factory workers are working class in the popular sense; but to the extent that they live off fixed incomes, financed by stock in corporations whose earnings are profit extracted from current workers, retired factory workers' interests, and possibly their identities and politics, are not working class. Such contradictions of interests and identity within individuals' lives and within communities can effectively undermine the ability of the working class to act in solidarity to reduce exploitation, inequality, and the role of ownership in determining people's life chances, work conditions, and political power.
The position of core capitalists is not nearly as contradictory within a capitalist system. Capitalists get their income, wealth, status, and power from owning the means of production, and they will have it managed for their own aggrandizement. From the capitalist perspective, it would be silly to manage production (or build political resources that could influence economic relationships) for the benefit of workers. To the extent that workers sometimes benefit in some ways from capitalism, it is not a central goal, but a byproduct. Thus, operating with less class interest contradiction and less identity contradiction, and more resources for political coordination, capitalist class members can often coordinate and prosecute their interests with a great deal of efficacy, over and against workers.
The history of the working class has been defined by two contradictory processes, the immiseration of traditional communities in order to produce workers, and the vast surplus of production available from industrialization creating better living standards. Throughout this process workers have taken cultural and political action to create their own cultures and positions within industrial society. Many of these responses have emphasized that working class individuals are defined by processes other than work. Working class history is generally accepted to begin with the enclosure of English commons, and the generation of paid industrial labor in manufactories in Holland and England.
In feudal Europe, the working class as such did not exist in large numbers. Instead, most people were part of the laboring class, a group made up of different professions, trades and occupations. A lawyer, craftsman and peasant were all considered to be part of the same social unit, a third estate of people who were neither aristocrats nor church officials. Similar hierarchies existed outside Europe in other pre-capitalist societies. The social position of these laboring classes was viewed as ordained by natural law and common religious belief. This social position was contested, particularly by peasants, for example during the German Peasants' War.
In the late 18th century, under the influence of the Enlightenment, European society was in a state of change, and this change could not be reconciled with the idea of a changeless god-created social order. Wealthy members of these societies created ideologies which blamed many of the problems of working-class people on their morals and ethics (i.e. excessive consumption of alcohol, perceived laziness and inability to save money). In The Making of the English Working Class, E.P. Thompson argues that the English working class was present at its own creation, and seeks to describe the transformation of pre-modern laboring classes into a modern, politically self-conscious, working class.
Vladimir Lenin saw the potential for imperialism to ameliorate the drudgery of working class life in the advanced countries, and argued this had already begun in the United Kingdom in the early 20th century. Access to cheap sports such as boxing and bicycling, expanded food cultures including coffee, chocolate and later junk food, and particularly access to motor vehicles and home ownership, transformed the complexion of first world working classes during the 20th century. A similar process occurred in the Soviet-style societies, but at a far slower pace.
Starting around 1917, a number of countries became ruled ostensibly in the interests of the working class. (see Soviet working class) While arguments over standards of living and potential growth rates have occurred in academic history and sociology, the development indexes of these countries are often higher than other countries of equivalent gross domestic product. However, additional criticisms have been leveled at these countries from authors who criticize the presence of massive human rights abuses which impacted primarily on workers, and for the lack of democracy within and amongst the working class. Some historians have noted that a key change in these Soviet-style societies has been a massive a new type of proletarianisation, often effected by the administratively achieved forced displacement of peasants and rural workers. Since then, three major industrial states have turned towards semi-market-based governance (China, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba), and one state has turned inwards into an increasing cycle of poverty and brutalisation (North Korea). Other states of this sort have either collapsed (such as the Soviet Union), or never achieved significant levels of industrialization or large working classes.
Since 1960, large-scale proletarianisation and enclosure of commons has occurred in the third world, generating new working classes at the margins of living. Additionally, countries such as India have been slowly undergoing social change, expanding the size of the urban working class.

Lead paint, cigarettes: Are trans fats next?
New York City's Health Department wants to ban trans fats from the menus of the city's restaurants.
Does that jelly doughnut or fried chicken you chomp into contain what many nutritionists say is the worst additive in America's food supply? It might – depending on what recipe was used.
Researchers have linked the consumption of artificial trans fats found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to a higher incidence of certain ailments, including heart disease and diabetes. But restaurants are under no obligation to use trans-fat substitutes or tell customers that they're swallowing a potentially dangerous substance.
"It's kind of a stealth product," says Geoffrey Martin, director of the foods department at Consumer Reports magazine in Yonkers, N.Y.
New York City wants to change that. Late last month, its Health Department proposed to step into the kitchens of the city's restaurants, from fast-food joints to elegant nightspots, and mandate that trans fats in all recipes be removed or reduced to minuscule quantities. The idea has received raves from healthy food advocates but left a sour taste in the mouths of many in the restaurant industry, as well as those concerned that a nosy government is about to invade another aspect of citizens' personal lives.
The proposal, which will be voted on by members of the city's Board of Health later this year, would phase in the ban over an 18-month period. It has aroused wide interest outside the city, since New York has a tradition of taking innovative first steps to protect public health. In 1960, New York prohibited the use of lead paint in buildings, some 18 years before the federal government took similar action. And, more recently, it banned smoking in restaurants in 2003.
Already since New York announced its plans, a legislator in New Jersey has proposed a similar ban on trans fats in her state. The District of Columbia has also expressed interest in the New York initiative.
"New Yorkers are consuming a hazardous, artificial substance without their knowledge or consent," the city's health commissioner, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, said in announcing the proposed ban. "Like lead in paint, artificial trans fat in food is invisible and dangerous.... While it may take some effort, restaurants can replace trans fat without changing the taste or cost of food. No one will miss it when it's gone."

I Saw the Devil Stretches to Sadomasochistic Extremes
Photos courtesy of Magnet Releasing |
I Saw the Devil, which opens this weekend at the Coral Gables Art Cinema, doesn't lack for ambition--at nearly two and a half relentless hours, Kim's new film steals into the signature territory Park Chan-wook established, exhausted, and left for dead: the hyperbolic mega-revenge epic.
Oldboy's Choi Min-sik is Devil's shitstorm on legs, a bull-goose serial killer with no psychopathology to speak of--hunted, tortured, and oddly released over and over again by pretty-boy fed Lee Byung-hyun, whose fiancée has been arbitrarily butchered. The I-have-become-what-I-beheld dynamic is on the front burner, and in typical K-wave fashion, the duel of wits and pain endurance stretches out to Sadean extremes.
Never good with nuance, Kim is a beast with disarming imagery (like the severed head that turns face-up in a river current) but has few resonating ideas, leaving the domino-tumble of brutality to become its own tiresome spectacle.

AC World Series - Luna Rossa Swordfish, Oracle Team USA victorious
Mon, 22 Apr 2013
At the America's Cup World Series in Naples, Luna Rossa Swordfish, led by helmsman Francesco Bruni, today claimed victory in the overall championship. Bruni posted a thrilling win in the fleet racing finale, coming from behind on the final run in a race that saw the lead change hands three times.
The win was cathartic for the emotional Italian helmsman. Earlier in the day Luna Rossa Swordfish lost the match racing championship to Oracle Team USA Slingsby. Bruni was critical of his performance in the loss after leading the match early on.
'This win was the only way to forget our mistake in the match racing,' said Bruni, who will be the tactician aboard Luna Rossa Challenge's AC72 in the upcoming Louis Vuitton Cup, America's Cup Challenger Series (July 4-Aug. 30).
'The fleet race win really means a lot to me. We had an opportunity for the double win, but just missed out. I can't thank my crew enough, Paul Campbell-James, Max Sirena, Xabi Fernandez and Manuel Modena. They did a great job today.'
<: embed_code :>
Slingsby delivered on his stated goal: to secure the overall 2012-2013 America's Cup World Series season championship for Oracle Team USA, the defense team in the upcoming 34th America's Cup (Sept. 7-21). He wrapped up that championship yesterday and today added the match racing title as well.
'I'm really proud to be getting the America's Cup World Series trophy for Oracle Team USA,' said Slingsby. Oracle Team USA also won last year's championship. 'Jimmy Spithill and his team set it up for us. We just had to come here, do our best and luckily he gave us enough of a lead to take home the trophy.'
The second America's Cup World Series Naples surpassed last year's event in terms of spectators. Local event officials estimate that more than one million people have turned out along the Naples waterfront and in the Race Village to enjoy the week-long event.
The crowds began coming out in force last Sunday with some 100,000 people estimated to have lined the shores of the Bay of Naples for the informal coastal race. The fans kept returning, lured by close racing yards from the shoreline and nightly entertainment at the regatta village.
Slingsby won the match racing championship by overtaking Bruni on the second upwind leg. After trailing by 22 seconds at the leeward gate, Slingsby showed the moves that have earned him the nickname 'the wind whisperer' due to his ability to sniff out wind shifts and puffs.
'It was so shifty that I honestly thought we had a good chance,' said Slingsby. 'I knew if we could get them out of phase on the shifts and we were in phase, huge gains could be made. We said we could catch them and I'm so glad that we did.'
Slingsby passed Bruni when the Italian failed to cover. Until that moment, Bruni had sailed a brilliant match. He showed great patience in the pre-start, stuffing Slingsby and holding him off the course.
'We did everything perfectly until that moment,' said Bruni. 'We made a couple of big mistakes on the last upwind leg. The wind was shifting a lot and we had a couple of bad tacks where boat completely stopped.'
Second place in the America's Cup World Series season championship went to Chris Draper and Luna Rossa Piranha. The defending champions at America's Cup World Series Naples placed fourth overall this year.
'I think we were going so well just before event, we probably got a little bit expectant and ahead of ourselves,' said Draper, the helmsman of Luna Rossa's AC72. 'But we're pleased to place second overall in the series. There are a lot of good teams out here.'
America's Cup World Series Naples wraps up the 2012-13 America's Cup World Series season. The focus now shifts to the 'Summer of Racing' planned for San Francisco. It begins in July with the Louis Vuitton Cup, the America's Cup Challenger Series, and concludes in September with the America's Cup Finals.

Just a silly girl looking for a silly boy...
Hey! I'm Sarah. I love music, movies, laughing, playing pool, riding my bike, bowling, going to concerts, reading, traveling, Adult Swim and sushi. I own my own home & car and have a steady job for the government as well. I'm currently taking class online for a BA in Psychology. It's going to be a slow process, but I'll eventually get it done. I think laughing is one of the most important things in life, next to family and friends. My favorite bands are Queen and Weezer, but I tend to listen to a lot of different types of music. My favorite movies are The Big Lebowski and Clerks, but I appreciate all types of movies from having worked at a Blockbuster for 7 long years. I currently have two tattoos on my back but I'm looking to add a few more very soon. I'm looking for a guy who can accept me for me.. some nights I like to stay in and do absolutely nothing but watch tv/listen to music and other nights going out is fun too. I don't get to travel much and have never been out of the country yet but would love to someday so a guy who would be into that is ok in my book :) An animal lover would be ideal as well. I do have two cats, so you may want to hit next if you're allergic or hate them - but they won't be around forever. After they're gone, I'd like to get a dog. Brownie points if you are any of the following: a little bit nerdy (a little goes a long way, trust me), likes to go to baseball games, has red hair (love them carrot tops!), sarcastic, smart, can grow a mean goatee, has tattoos...and I'm sure there are others but I'm drawing a blank right now. Don't get discouraged though if you don't have any of the above traits. You don't have to. That's just what I like and had to throw it out there. If I thought hard enough, I'm sure I could go on and on but won't bore you death before you even reach the end of my profile. If you're interested, throw a wink my way. Or, if you're feeling ballsy just skip it and go straight to email :)

Downtown Annapolis, Canton, Fed Hill, Fells Point, my bed, the beach, the beautiful park near my house, any city that I haven't been to yet
Anne Arundel Community College, Arnold, MD
rainy day naps, sunny day bike rides with my iPod, snapping pics of the city, discovering new music, reawakening love for old music, movies, being a smartass, cracking jokes, people watching
Shooting pool, daytime strolls through the city, night time bar hopping, seeing movies, going to concerts, random road trips to anywhere. Would love to learn the guitar some day and be able to add that to this list too :]
I have a bad habit of starting books, buying new ones and starting them too. So usually, I'll have around three books I'm currently reading. Just finished Tina Fey's book "Bossypants" and started "Always Something There To Remind Me" by Beth Harbison

Meet the leading historian of Women's Cricket!
Raf Nicholson is a leading historian of women's cricket; currently researching a PhD in the subject. Raf writes extensively about her interest and you can read it at her blog Women in Cricket .
She talks about her work with Mithila Mehta.
1. What is it about women's cricket that interests you so keenly, encouraging you to study it further?
I've loved cricket ever since I was a little girl growing up with a cricket-obsessed dad. I love all the things about women's cricket that I love about men's cricket – that there is always something going on, and a hundred different things, tactically, to think about every ball. But in some ways I prefer women's cricket, because it's not all about whacking the ball as hard as possible – much more skill involved!
In terms of studying the sport, when I started researching it (which was about five years ago now!) I quickly found out that there are some great stories to be told. Female cricketers are often far more interesting than male cricketers because they have actually done things outside cricket! As they have generally not been paid, they have often had to juggle cricket with jobs and, for example, with being mothers. Someone like Rachael Heyhoe-Flint (who was England captain in the 1970s) had a baby and then went back to playing within two months of giving birth! So it's interesting to think about how they made cricket work around the other things in their lives.
2. Could you share a little bit of what your research entails/ covers, as the history of women's cricket is a pretty vast subject?
Good question – yes it is a vast subject! At the moment I'm mainly focusing on the situation in England, and looking at how it's developed since women's cricket first became properly organised here in the 1920s. Why was the UK Women's Cricket Association (the governing body of the sport, which was formed in 1926) set up in the first place, and what rules did they have about how women should play? How has the sport changed from the time when women played wearing skirts, spent years raising money to go on international cricket tours, and when all the newspapers did was poke fun at women and say they shouldn't be bothering to play at all? In some cases not very much! But in other cases the changes – especially since the ECB took over running women's cricket in 1998 – have been huge.
3. How do you feel about being among the first (or the first) to be delving into this topic academically?
It's really exciting to be looking at a topic which no one else has researched because it means I'm finding out new things all the time. Most of my sources are boxes of old papers which people have kept for years in their houses or in sheds, and I've found some amazing things out there – including photographs and papers relating to one women's cricket club (the Redoubtables) which has been around since 1921!
One of the reasons why I'm studying this topic is that I think it's really interesting and that other cricket fans will agree with me. So I'm hoping that I can make the history of the sport more widely known and that in a few years' time you'll be reading a book on the subject written by me!
4. Your blog tackles several stereotypes associated with women's cricket headfirst. Have you seen these stereotypes sort of withering away with the years/ growing awareness? Or is there still much ground to be covered?
I think there used to be a stereotype surrounding the type of woman who would play cricket: that she was a bit of a tomboy who wasn't really very feminine. Hopefully as the game gets more coverage in the media, and as female cricketers become better known, it's becoming clear that any type of girl/woman can take up cricket. Clearly having visible role models out there will make those stereotypes disappear even further, because I do think that perception still exists in some places – that's one reason why we need to make sure that we keep pushing for more media coverage of women's cricket.
5. A message for Team RCB?
Good luck and I hope you all enjoy the rest of the tournament!

Stocks Cautious on Eve of Fed Meeting as Apple Reports
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Markets finished little changed on Monday as investors await the latest decisions by the policy-making arm of the Federal Reserve, which is scheduled to begin two days of meetings tomorrow.
The S&P 500 added 0.13% to close at 1,762.11 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.01% to 15,568.93 and the Nasdaq lost 0.08% to 3,940.13.
"It's just kind of a ho-hum day, but that's not a bad thing all the time just given the run we've had recently," Matt McGeary, portfolio manager at Eagle Asset Management, said in a phone interview. "You can't be up 1% every day." McGeary said Eagle Asset, which has $29.8 billion in assets under management, has viewed this quarter as a "reasonably good" earnings season.
(AAPL - Get Report) shares tacked on 0.74% to $529.88 ahead of the company's quarter earnings announcement after the closing bell, injecting some strength in the markets following disappointing quarterly reports from U.S. drug maker Merck
(MRK - Get Report) and on factory output and pending home sales. Merck lost 2.6% to close at $45.35 after missing revenue expectations. Sales fell 4 percent to $11 billion due to a foreign currency exchange hit and patent expirations. Consensus expectations were for $11.12 billion in revenue.
"Markets are overbought after a good run and investors are still nervous about earnings," Raymond James chief investment strategist Jeffrey Saut said in a phone interview. But he noted about 64% of S&P/500 companies had beaten earnings expectations and suggested investors would pay little attention to economic reports in the coming six weeks due to the one-off impact from the partial government shutdown. Saut helps oversee $400 billion in assets.
For the third quarter, analysts on average are expecting S&P 500 earnings to increase 4.5% year-over-year, with EPS of $27.23, Christine Short, a senior manager at S&P Capital IQ, wrote in a daily report. Short's note also shows that analysts are anticipating that nine sectors will post earnings growth in the third quarter, with the telecom and consumer discretionary sectors leading the growth at 27.48% and 12.28% respectively. The sector expected to become biggest laggard of this quarter is energy, with a contraction of 7.49%.
Guidance for the fourth quarter has been provided by 57 companies. Of those companies, 45 are negative in their guidance, 8 are positive and 4 are in-line, according to Short. In company news, JCPenney (JCP - Get Report) was the largest gainer in the S&P 500 after the company announced that it sees positive comparable store sales for the third and fourth quarter of 2013. Shares of the department store company jumped 8.8% to close at $7.39. Shares of Roper Industries (ROP) sank the most in the S&P after the Sarasota, Fla.-based company reduced its 2013 earnings per share to $5.57 to $5.63 from $5.72 to $5.86 on slower-than-anticipated fourth-quarter growth in energy and select other markets. Shares sank 6.6% to $124.26. Drug maker Dendreon (DNDN) shares surged 11.1% to $2.81 after reports it was seeking buyers. Disappointing sales of its prostate-cancer treatment were said to be a contributor to the decision to sell. Pending home sales saw their biggest slump in more than three years during September, falling 5.6% to an index reading of 101.6 the National Association of Realtors said Monday. Rates for mortgages are at two-year highs, dampening consumer demand. Factory output was also lackluster, rising 0.1 percent last month, the Federal Reserve said Monday. This was below expectations for a 0.3 percent rise in September, illustrating a disruption to manufacturing before the partial government shutdown. The New York Stock Exchange said its test run of Twitter's initial public offering on Saturday was a success, as the exchange looks to avoid the technical problems that marred Facebook's FB IPO. Twitter is expected to go public sometime before Thanksgiving. The IPO is expected to be largest IPO of a technology company since Facebook went public in May 2012.The benchmark 10-year Treasury was off 1/32, raising the yield to 2.52%. The dollar was up 0.16% to $79.34 according to the U.S. dollar index. December oil added 83 cents to close at $98.68, while gold futures slipped 30 cents to settle at $1,352.20 an ounce. --By Jane Searle, Andrea Tse and Joe Deaux in New York

So thinking about making an immersion wort chiller...but not the typical style of a bunch of coils. It will be criss-crossing layers to get the most surface area covered...therefore a lot of saudered fittings. I have three questions...first, polishing (which is essentially putting lots of super tiny scratches in the pipe) is that a good idea? Second, would submersing the chiller in the last 10 minutes of the boil impart any metallic flavors into the beer? Third, would stainless steel be a better material?
A lot of people say to put the chiller in the last 15 minutes to sanitize it. So while I can't say for sure I don't think you'll have much to worry about with the scratches. You might check if they have a solder that is food safe though as I think most of the soldered connections people use don't really come into contact with the wort on a regular basis. The copper won't impart a metallic flavor but I have read that it is actually beneficial to the yeast as a nutrient. Someone please chime in if you have more info. Stainless would be easier to clean/sanitize but you might miss out on that benefit I just mention. Really a matter of preference on the metal used I believe.
I'm in over my head...fortunately that's right where I like to be.
I know that SS will take 2 min longer to cool than copper.
I think the advantages of an immersion chiller are 1) you can jack it around and aerate while you chill and 2) you can chill down to a temp that you'd like to pitch. Neither of which are options with a plate chiller. I can't see any problems w your idea, but I do wonder what you think the advantage might be beyond you just having some fun soldering. As far as the metal is concerned, I think people like copper because it is the most easily thermally conductive. If you've got patience and a cheap water supply stainless should be fine. Even though your dumping your chiller into boiling wort, like any chiller though I'd make sure you have an adequate way to clean it; ie rough bends or solders holding grime is not good.
My 50' coil stainless chiller chills 5 gallons in 10 minutes. What kind of benefits would you get by criss crossing? Probably very little, if any. Not worth it in my opinion. Smooth metal = less places for bacteria to hide. Stick with what works for the masses.
Build two 25' chillers. Use one to pre chill your water in a salt water ice bath and the other in the wort.
people keep trying to improve on a coil IC, but they never really do. you can kid yourself into thinking there is a better IC design and waste a lot of time, but to actually make progress you either have to change your coolant (freon , high amp peltier or glycol) or chill a smaller amount of wort at a time (CFC or plate chillers)
Surface area, water temp, thermal conductivity, and wort movement to prevent pockets of chilled wort around the coils are the only variables that really effect your cooling time. So long as you keep the wort flowing over the coils you will cool optimally. Shape really shouldn't affect it any.

Q: I have a question about outside play areas for my ferrets. I was going to build them a semi-permanent area on our deck and was wondering if it would be OK to use fine-grade play sand in the bottom, or should I use a potting or top soil?
A: In this case, my suggestion is to use play sand for your ferrets' play area, the kind used for playgrounds, as it is clean and should be safe. Check it often, though, as it can easily become infected with sand fleas, etc. Potting soils probably would not be a good choice for ferrets to play on because these can come with too many contamination issues (intestinal worms, etc).
