Wilson (aka Woodrow Wilson)
- John W. Bates
- 2/9/13
This Film,done at the height of World War 11, is a hidden gem, and it was certainly the first time My Wife and I have ever seen or heard of it. Alexander Knox was simply Superb in his Depiction of The 28th President of The United States. Woodrow Wilson is what I would call a "hidden Man" among US Presidents, and probably very much under appreciated for his service to The Nation. His background as an educator and Governor gave him in my opinion an oversight to The office of The President, if one can be prepared for the office at all. His concern for The Nation and its needs was very well documented, but he like all Presidents, was sometimes vilified for his approach to problems. The Film shows both his highs and lows, and at least partially explains how his second wife Edith probably made many decisions The President himself would make had he not been suffering The effects of a probable stroke. I really admire this Film and would also give it Five Stars. What is really incredible is that this Film was an Oscar Winner, but yet a Flop at The Box Office at the time. Right Movie possibly made at the wrong time, but very important that it was made nonetheless! Thank You Director Zanuck, and Thank You TCM for bringing it to our Homes! Lets vote to get it to DVD Release!

There have been films made about Lincoln, Kennedy & Nixon; but what about those who prefer Wilson? Knox won a Golden Globe as Woodrow Wilson who is encouraged to send America into WWI & establish the leauge of Nations. Despite it's box office-failure, the film won five Oscars for Original screenplay, sound recording, art direction, cinematography & film editing. Overlong, but a superbly-made biography of an overlooked President. I give it a 4/5.

Why have I never seen this before. An excellent film. Gives good insight into what appears to be a principled man who fought so hard for peace. Please show this again!
Zanuck's Wilson (1944)
- Thomas Knock
- 2/5/13
TCM's article is decent, but it misses entirely why the film was made (and when--which was 1944, not 1945). During World War II, Woodrow Wilson's ghost came back to haunt America because it had rejected membership his the League of Nations (of which Wilson was the primary author) at the end of World War I. The League was the world's first international peacekeeping organization and it was part of the Treaty of Versailles, ending the Great War. But the Senate refused to ratify that treaty. Then during World War II many people, including Darry F. Zanuck, began to think that possibly the current war could have been averted if the U. S. had become a member of the League. (During his speaking tour in September 1919, Wilson had actually prophesied a second terrible war if the U. S. rejected membership in the League.) And that's the main reason why Zanuck decided to make his big movie about Wilson, as a man way ahead of his time--to urge American membership in the United Nations, the message being that the U. S. now had a second chance to get it right. Reviews were very positive. Released in August 1944, just as the presidential campaign was getting under way, some Republican newspapers charged that it was 4th term propaganda for FDR.
Wilson- a missed movie

As I remember this is a forgotten movie that helps explain a forgotten time and a forgotten president. Alexander Knox is a forgotten actor of the past. I remember enjoying it and like historical movies such as the Walter Huston movie about Lincoln, Stars and Stripes Forever, and even Ten Gentlemen From West Point. Whether based on fact or just plain fun these movies I would really love to add to may collection. Another great movie I truly love is Santa Fe Trail with Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan, and a movie I recently collected was The Great Ziegfeld with William Powell which also quite enjoyable.

It's a well-known fact that obesity is on a steady rise in U.S. since the introduction of high fructose corn syrup to our foods. Look for high fructose corn syrup on the your labels—some foods you may not even suspect have sugar in them!—and you may be amazed at how much sugar you are actually getting in your diet.
No wonder so many of us become sugar junkies without even realizing it. Our tendency to grab a quick carb pick-me-up can lead to anything from "brain fog" and fatigue to mood swings and cardiovascular problems. And that's just what's happening to non-diabetics.
People with type-2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance get heart disease at an alarming rate. That's because they have problems with sugar metabolism. And sugar is useless in the body anyhow—it's full of dead calories.
Whenever you eat sugar and refined carbohydrates, you get an insulin response. We know now that insulin is a pro-inflammatory hormone. People are drinking loads of sugary sodas, adding sugar to their tea and coffee, and consuming breads and pasta, bagels, and donuts and cookies in alarming amounts—we're a sugar society. And then there's that artificial high fructose corn syrup, which is even worse than sugar.
These sugars and refined carbs turn on an insulin response, and insulin causes inflammation of blood vessels. If you have surging insulin levels bouncing from high sugar to insulin, back to high sugar, then insulin and so on (i.e. the blood sugar rollercoaster), your cells to become inflamed and the first stage is set for inflammatory atherosclerosis.
The key is to avoid refined sugars and, to swear off high fructose corn syrup for good. And, if you want to read more about the dangers of sugar and how to cut sugar sources from your diet, I highly recommend Dr. Sinatra's book Sugar Shock! How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life—and How You Can Get It Back on Track, which he co-authored with self-proclaimed sugar addict in recovery Connie Bennett.
For more information on general or cardiovascular nutrition, as well as heart risk factors, visit Dr. Sinatra's Web site.

To become Iraq's PM, Iyad Allawi must build a coalition and convince others he is willing to share power.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Iraq's dramatic election was a prelude to the real test: the political wrangling to determine the country's next prime minister.
This is the way it goes in "Iraqracy," as Gen. David Petraeus dubbed the county's unique political system. In the weeks to come, Iraq's flaws, strengths and identity will be revealed as the country's fragile rule of law is strained, perhaps to the breaking point, to determine the outcome of the vote.
U.S. headlines have focused on the triumph of Iyad Allawi's coalition, a political bloc of nationalist Sunnis and secular Shiites, with a former CIA asset as head of the party. But Allawi's win in the March 7 election does not guarantee that he can govern Iraq or return as prime minister, a job he held in 2004-2005.
In fact, Allawi won only a slim plurality in the elections. His coalition won 91 seats in the National Assembly, two more than the second place winner, Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki. The magic number needed to form a ruling coalition is 163. The numbers show that Allawi must convince 72 winners from other parties to join his coalition while Maliki must woo 74 allies.
Both political leaders are in an uphill struggle to form a ruling coalition, but even these numbers are not a sure thing. Iraq's judiciary has already taken steps that could change the outcome.
Stung by his loss, Maliki rejected the official tally and invoked his status as commander-in-chief as he warned of violence. Maliki's top aide, Ali al-Adeed, was more explicit when he said Iraq's Shiites would not accept the legitimacy of Allawi's victory. Maliki's warnings prompted an unusual on-the-record observation from a senior U.S. embassy official, Gary Grappo, who acknowledged that Maliki's coalition would "take advantage of all means at their disposal to try to eke out a victory."
While Grappo went on to express confidence that Maliki and his allies would work within the judicial system, the system has been far from neutral, both before and after the election. Power in Iraq centers around personalities rather than institutions. As long as Maliki remains in office, he can manipulate government resources to press his advantage.
On the day before the election results were announced, the Supreme Court interpreted an ambiguous constitutional clause in a way that gives Maliki an edge. While the constitution stipulates the largest bloc in parliament gets the first chance to form a government, it is unclear whether the largest bloc is determined by the vote or groups that merge after the election. The judges ruled that the later is permissible, which means if Maliki can convince smaller blocs to join him in the next few days, he can deny Allawi the first shot at forming a government.

Washington, DC 20224 Dear Acting Commissioner Werfel: We are writing to urge you to suspend immediately Lois Lerner from her office as Director of the Office of Exempt Organizations at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We believe that Ms. Lerner failed to disclose crucial information concerning the IRS's inappropriate targeting of some conservative 501(c)(4) organizations during the course of a Subcommittee investigation into how the IRS enforces the 501(c)(4) law, leading to an incomplete account of the full operations of her unit. Since March of last year, the Subcommittee has been examining whether the IRS adequately and appropriately enforces tax code provisions and implementing regulations regarding the extent to which tax-exempt 501(c)(4) groups may engage in political campaign activity. The Subcommittee asked the IRS why it was not enforcing the 501(c)(4) statute which states that social welfare organizations should be used "exclusively for the promotion of social welfare" and instead enforcing the more lenient IRS regulation which states that a social welfare organization may be used "primarily" for social welfare. It also asked the IRS about how they reviewed applications filed by certain Democratic and Republican leaning 501(c)(4)s. Our investigation has included a year's worth of correspondence between the Subcommittee and the IRS, as well as document productions and repeated consultations with IRS staff. On April 30, 2013, Ms. Lerner and seven IRS colleagues spent six-hours being interviewed, on a bipartisan basis, by Subcommittee staff. That interview covered, among other topics, how the IRS determines which groups to review, what actions are taken in connection with the IRS reviews, and how the laws and regulations are used to examine those groups. Ms. Lerner failed to disclose the internal controversy over the search terms used by the Cincinnati office to identify 501(c)(4) groups for further review, the actions taken by that office in reviewing the identified groups, the investigation and imminent findings by the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA); and TIGTA's conclusion that the IRS had used inappropriate criteria to target Tea Party and other conservative groups. Ms. Lerner also failed to disclose that she was fully aware of these issues as early as June 2011, and, according to TIGTA, had been personally involved in reviewing questionable actions taken by the Cincinnati office. Given the serious failure by Ms. Lerner to disclose to this Subcommittee key information on topics that the Subcommittee was investigating, we have lost confidence in her ability to fulfill her duties as Director of Exempt Organizations at the IRS. Ms. Lerner's continued tenure in the office she holds, where she is responsible for overseeing 1.6 million tax-exempt organizations, would erode public trust and confidence in the IRS and its professional integrity. We believe that the immediate removal of Ms. Lerner from office would be a vital step in helping to restore public trust in the agency.

CIOs in private industry data centers have been taking advantage of a wide range of voluntary U.S. government programs and legislative regulations that promote increased energy efficiency, leading to reductions in energy expenses and greenhouse gas emissions.
Who has not been taking advantage of these programs? In my experience, it's the CIOs in federal agencies. Congress has noticed too, and is taking action.
Take, for example, the Energy Star program, which was established in 1992 by the Environmental Protection Agency to validate product efficiency claims and help businesses and individuals learn about products that have superior energy efficiency. This program has been evolving to incorporate an increasingly broader range of categories.
In 2013, the EPA added a new Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) category that enables qualifying producers of highly efficient AC or DC power systems to earn the Energy Star label. Because a large portion of the power that is used in a data center flows through these devices, this category is particularly appropriate for government data centers.
Yet while the Energy Star UPS rating system has been available for some time, many government CIOs are unaware of its existence, and even those who have heard about it are not taking advantage of the program.
Buying high-efficiency power systems is one of the most painless ways for CIOs who oversee agency data centers to cut energy usage and reduce operating expenditures. DC power systems are an essential part of data center applications that require conversion of AC power from a utility or power source into the appropriate DC voltage for ICT (information and communications technology) equipment.
There is real money at stake. Some estimates show that federal data centers are responsible for 10 percent of all U.S. data center energy use -- costing taxpayers some $600 million annually. House and Senate legislators have advanced bills that would require agencies to be accountable for the implementation of energy-efficient equipment.
Silicon Valley's Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) would like to see a decrease in federal data center energy usage, and has sponsored the "Energy Efficient Government Technology Act," which would promote energy efficiency in federal data center IT assets and communication technologies.
A broader, bipartisan Senate energy bill, backed by New Hampshire Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Ohio Republican Rob Portman, is designed to create a voluntary program similar to Energy Star, which would encourage government-wide energy efficiency and could incorporate the provisions of Eshoo's bill.
Much like Rep. Eshoo, I believe that government should lead by example. There is no need to wait for legislation to force the hands of federal CIOs. Mandates may be on their way, but there are programs in place today that can help data center managers improve the energy efficiency of their operations.
Buying high-efficiency power systems is one of the most painless ways for CIOs who oversee agency data centers to cut energy usage and reduce operating expenditures.
The Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program provides support for federal agencies to help identify energy efficient products and practices that meet federal guidelines. FEMP is also working to raise awareness of the Energy Star program.
Since high-efficiency power systems can have such a big impact on data center power bills and the environment, federal agency CIOs would do well to take advantage of the FEMP and Energy Star programs to assist with procurement and implementation of the most highly efficient energy resources available.
By utilizing already existing government programs, such as Energy Star, federal CIOs can compare data center power system vendor specifications and product capabilities to assist in the selection of systems that will reduce data center costs, save taxpayer dollars, conserve energy and decrease environmental impact. The time to take advantage of these resources is now.

If your man cheats on you, who's really at fault: him or the other woman? Here's what you told us!
Last night on "Love & Hip Hop," Emily Bustamente said that it's girls like Kimbella that make it hard for good women like her. The same sentiment also popped up on "Basketball Wives: LA," when the women said groupies are the reason that so many NBA players cheat.
Chris Rock has joked in the past that a man is only as faithful as his options. Shaquille O'Neal co-signed that argument in his book, admitting that a big part of why he cheated on ex-wife Shaunie O'Neal was that he had too many options.
Don't even get us started on "Cheaters"! We've lost count of how many times women go after the side piece instead of the man in the middle.
From the looks of it, society tends to blame the jumpoff when a man cheats. We wondered if our fans on Facebook agreed. Your response? A straight-up "no."
So who's really to blame when a man creeps? We're glad to say that all of the women who responded placed the blame squarely where it belongs: him.
Lahna LadiBugBronston broke it down for us like this: "If women cheat on their man with another man, men don't beef with men," she said. "So women need to stop beefin with women. Get on ur significant other! THEY made the commitment."
Like many of you, Kim Bailey agreed. "His obligation was to you! He was your man, husband, he was supposed to have your back! It's so trifling when you have a man who lies to both women so he can get what he wants," she said.
Then Kim suggested that both of the women in the love triangle join forces to get the truth out of the man in the middle. "The tables should be turned on him…both women could set a trap and he'd be a$$ out!" Kim said. "Let the sisterhood begin….because men will go on doing what they do best!! If women respected the fact that he has a woman, wife he wouldn't have anyone to cheat with in the first place!"
According to you all, though, this tactic would only work if the other woman didn't know about the main girl. In the case of women that knew he was already involved, you all voted to name both of them as the guilty parties.

Vietnam Five-Year Bonds Rise, Dong Weakens on Rate-Cut Bets
June 4 (Bloomberg) -- Vietnam's benchmark five-year bonds rose on speculation the central bank will cut interest rates to stimulate the economy. The dong weakened the most in a month.
Vietnam's economy may grow 5.2 percent to 5.5 percent this year, Dau Tu newspaper quoted Minister for Planning and Investment, Bui Quang Vinh, as saying today. That compares with a growth target of 5.6 percent to 5.8 percent given by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung during a May 24 meeting with the World Bank. Vietnam's manufacturing contracted in May for a second month, according to a purchasing managers' index released by HSBC Holdings and Markit Economics on June 1.
"It's expected the government will try to support businesses by cutting rates and also by loosening its fiscal policy," said Nguyen Duc Hai, a Ho Chi Minh City-based portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management.
Five-year bond yields fell four basis points or 0.04 percentage point, to 9.56 percent, according to a daily fixing rate from banks compiled by Bloomberg.
The dong dropped 0.13 percent to 20,898 per dollar as of 4:39 p.m. in Hanoi, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the biggest decline since May 4. The State Bank of Vietnam set its reference rate at 20,828, unchanged since Dec. 26, according to its website. The currency is allowed to trade up to 1 percent on either side of the rate.

ugh i knew this would happen once paul came back were gonna win a few games and end up with the third pick! God, please dont let that happen
I don't see us getting the 1st pick. Memphis sucks a big one. I think we need to shoot for 2nd. Too bad this team fails to realize that tanking is in their best interest. Pierce better not ***** when this team continues to suck for the next 5-6 years if we miss out on Oden/Durant
Just because you finish last in the NBA doesn't mean you automatically get the first pick. It does increase your odds in the lottery but you still need your number to be picked.
The whole thing is being overshadowed by Cedric Maxwell's lack of political correctness, guess one of the 5 people in New England who listen to Celts broadcasts complained.
ughhh i know thing is, with pierce back, we're just not that bad haha never thought id be sad to say that i mean seriously, without all the injuries this team would easily be a playoff team btw, this is my 1918th post, i was thinkin bout usin it on the sox board, but then i thought maybe it would be bad luck i dunno

Five Reasons LeBron Isn't Going to Cleveland (According to a Clevelander)
LeBron is leaving Miami. LeBron is staying in Miami. LeBron is going to Cleveland. LeBron isn't going to Cleveland. LeBron is LeBron is LeBron is LeBron is . . . Photo by Keith Allison via Flickr cc
This is a snapshot of the pretzeled thought process of your average hoops fan right now. It's nerve-smashing, torturous, and makes for great Sportscenter. Every burp and sneeze from every anonymous team exec and agent merits a headline or tweet. The latest: LeBron is in Las Vegas, where he's scheduled for a powwow with Pat Riley today. The clock tics on.
Yesterday, your humble servant here, a former longtime Cleveland resident, offered you five reasons LeBron was taking his talents back to Lake Erie. Now, allow me to scoot around to the other side of the table and tell you why LeBron isn't bound back to the Motherland.
See also: Five Reasons LeBron Is Going to Cleveland (According to a Clevelander)
5. Because of the weather. This is kind of a low blow in terms of pro and con Cleveland arguments. It's the ultimate trump card. "Yeah, you make a lot of great points . . . but what about the weather [cue scary music]?" But anyone who has lived in Northeast Ohio will tell you that the weather -- and we're talking about the winter -- is bone-crushing and cold, not to mention long, very long. It's enough to make someone stand outside on a nice Florida evening and wonder why they'd ever leave.
4. Because of the Nike-NBA Evil Alliance wants him in Miami. Yesterday I lobbed some serious shade at Pat Riley's GMing. Allow me to expand: Riley might control the cap space and the keys to the tanning bed at Heat HQ, but LeBron answers to a higher power - Nike. Since LeBron inked his first rookie deal with Nike, his career DNA has been spliced with the mega-corporation. Don't think they don't have his ear about future career moves, and if Nike thinks they can sell more swag with LeBron in Miami, they're going to tell him. And he'll listen.
3. Because LeBron lives inside a cocoon of yes men, sycophants, and goobers. Yesterday I also outlined one of the major reasons for why people see LeBron coming home: it's a tidy, clean finish to his storyline and a good way to patch up the damage from the Decision. This would be true -- if LeBron paid any attention to what we plebs think. LeBron is pretty well insulated in his own world, walled off by a tight-knit staff. That was pretty evident four years ago, when the tone-deft approach to the Decision seemed to catch LeBron Co. as a surprise. LeBron could again be completely closed off to any thought about storylines or making good. He might not even realize he has a storyline that needs to be redeemed.

We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a compact micro-displacement sensor with high sensitivity based on a long-period fiber grating (LPG) with an air-cavity. The sensor head is obtained by composing an air-cavity with the ends of a LPG and a single mode fiber (SMF). The wavelength shift of the LPG has a linear relationship with the length of the air gap which agrees well with the theoretical analysis. The experimental results show that the sensitivity is ~0.22 nm/µm within the micro-displacement range of 0 to 140 µm.

Here's a lesson I learned for myself quite unexpectedly. When my second child was born, my oldest was two. My new baby was big and hungry, and for the first few weeks I spent most of the time with him, breastfeeding him. I could read to the older one while I was doing this, but, of course, two-year-old boys prefer running around, and I couldn't very easily follow him around the house, fetch him drinks, bathe him, pick him up when he fell over, push him around on his tricycle, and play on the floor with him while I was breastfeeding. Of course, I could have done it if I'd had to—plenty of mothers manage—but I was lucky and I didn't have to because my husband had taken a month off work.
I missed spending as much time as usual with my two-year-old, so my husband and I decided that for an hour each after-noon he would mind the baby during nap time and I would have an hour of "quality time" with the older one. I'd spend an hour playing out in the garden, or doing jigsaw puzzles, or messing about with play dough. But something wasn't right. My two-year-old just wasn't comfortable, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it. There was something stilted and unnatural between us. The system just didn't work.
Then one day the baby barely slept until early evening. So by the time I got my hour off, it was time to feed the older one and put him to bed. That's what I did. It seemed a shame, because I had to be quite tough with him—he could be quite tricky about mealtimes and he hated ever getting out of the bath—and I didn't want to have to get firm when I had only a short time with him. But the extraordinary thing was that I got a completely different response from him. Suddenly he was responding normally with me, and seemed far happier and more relaxed (except about getting out of the bath, obviously).
From that day we switched the system, and we made sure that although my time with him was limited, I used it for the routine things, not "special" activities. In other words, we stopped doing "quality time" and started doing real time instead.

Anaheim, CA - I need of starting pitching after the trade of Ervin Santana as well as the uncertain future of key free agent Zack Greinke, the Angels made a move to shore up their rotation.
GM Jerry Dipoto has acquired the 26 year-old Hanson who was 14-10, 4.48 ERA with 8.3 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 174 2/3 innings in 2012.
Angel fans should keep in the back of their mind that Hanson has missed time with shoulder tendinitis and his fastball velocity has dropped from 92 to about 89. For the Angels sake Hanson can hold together while under club control through 2015.
In Walden the Braves acquire the fire balling reliever who saved 32 games and made the 2011 All-Star team. The 25 year-old righty became expendable with the signing of free agent Ryan Madson. With Ernesto Frieri, Kevin Jepsen and Scott Downs all expected to get the bulk of crucial situations, it made sense to move a young reliever with upside for starting pitching.
On paper the Angels rotation is still not frightening after you get past Jered Weaver. With C.J. Wilson, Hanson, Jerome Williams and Garret Richards as the starting 5 the Angels will likely continue to try and lure back free agent Zack Greinke.

My Sister is at MEPS in Dallas right now.. and even though I told her to call me before she did anything.. if she was having issues she apparently did everything then called me to complain.
So apparently they are telling her that:
- Her ASVAB Score is To High, and she is overqualified to request a few of the jobs she wanted.
- That they wont let her sign up for 6 years, and that she has to sign up for 4 year or Not be allowed into the DEP program
- They said even though she has 30+ college credits that she wont be given any Stripes for them and will have to start as an E-1
I am F**KING PISSED right now.. at the MEPS people and at her for not calling me

Kodiak - Welcome to the Forum This subject has kind of been beat to death. There are about 5 or 6 threads on this one lone gun I am afraid. Basically, the concensus from many, including myself, is that the weapon isn't worth the money. Accuracy is a problem because of the Op Rod driven platform and the pencil thin barrel. However, we have a strong, steadfast group who continue to champion the weapon and claim great accuracy. I think some of us are still waiting for the proof to be in that specific pudding. The guys will be along shortly, I am sure.... JD
Yeah the subject has been beaten to death here,but, the new 580 series will lay out 1-3/4 in. groups at 100 yards (1-3/4 moa). This is considerably better than the older 180 series version with it's pencil thin barrel.The mini-14 is a somewhat scaled down version of the Springfield M-14 / M1A. Generally a reliable action but has alot of harmonics by the nature of design that plays into the accuracy problems of this of this little rifle. Still this is a good ranch type rifle and shoots good enough for minuet of coyote. It does what it is intended to do and will work well when it is quite dirty. An AR type rifle being a gas impengiment type action will be more accurate out of the box than the mini, but IMO needs to be kept very clean compaired to the garand type action. There are companies that can accurize these rifles for about the cost of what the mini-14 costs new. It all boils down to what you want to do with it and how much you are willing to spend. If you are looking to put holes in holes at 100 yards the out of the box AR's wont even do that. If this is your desire then you should do that with a bolt action rifle anyway. My 580 series mini-14 I bought last year is a good little rifle and hasn't give any problems to date and consistantly shoots 1-3/4" groups at 100 yards. So theres my 2 cents worth.
Sorry to start a new thread about something that's been beaten to death. I was just curious. I was thinking if I could pick one of these up used cheap it might not be a bad deal. Guess I'll reconsider and either look at saving up for an AR or something similar.
I paid just under $800.00 for mine in 2008 new and I think it is a good little rifle. If you're looking to buy one of these used just make sure it's one of the newer 580 series Mini-14's.
I have a NRA Mini 14 (580 series) and love it. I have had several Mini 14s over the years and yes if you got one to shoot a 3 in group it was a good one. But the new ones with the heavyer barrel is a lot better. I have shot 2 (3 shot) 3/4 groups at 100 but on average 1.5 to 1 3/4 with most ammo. Not a tack driver but good general purpose firearm. Mags are a bit pricey though. All you want to know about the MINI 14Ruger Mini-14 Talk - PerfectUnion BBS

THUNDER BAY -- Police are reminding the public once again not to drink and drive.
The Thunder Bay detachment of the OPP received a 9-11 call from a concerned motorist around 1 p.m. Sunday. The call was concerning a vehicle that was driving "seriously out of control" on the Thunder Bay Expressway.
The vehicle was reported to have almost struck several other vehicles before being intercepted by police.
A 55-year-old woman was arrested for impaired driving.
She later provided a breath sample that showed she was driving with four times the legal limit of alcohol.
OPP officials are encouraging the public to call 9-11 to report impaired drivers, and again remind motorists to arrange alternate ways home if you plan on drinking.

Chapter Four
I was terrified for a moment when I stepped into the tube. Zim could have been easily tricking me to destroy myself, but it's been so long. Why would he try to kill me now? He tapped some codes into the touch screen thingy. It was all in irken so I had no idea what any of it said. Afterwards, he walked towards the other tube. He looked so worried. With his antenna whimpered to the back of his head, he was the very image of vulnerable. This was crazy. Why did he even want to be able to be human? Maybe it was for a better disguise. I honestly didn't care much. I wanted to see if it would work. I wondered for a second on why he didn't just steal a human if that's all he needed. He hated asking for someone's help so why not take someone against their will?
Just as all these question jumbled through my spinning head I glanced over at Zim. He was so pinned up in the tube. His shoulders were tightly pressed near his head in a clinch, almost as if he wasn't sure what was going to happen to him. I placed my hand against the glass, wanting to touch him. I could never be able to explain what it was, but something inside made me want to protect him. He peeked open an eye and saw me, but I didn't falter my glance. I could have sworn I saw him smile back at me, before he closed both eyes again. Then the light started to blind me.
There was a bright beam of light glowing at the bottom of the tube. Starting at my feet, the scan, like a wave of light started to rise up my body. I looked over to Zim, hoping for some condolence that this was the way things were supposed to work. As I tried to make out Zim's shape in the bright lights, I was given so much more than condolence that the process was working. I was given proof. Where the cute little alien once stood, a slightly taller, pink skinned shape took his place. Pressing my hands against the glass to look closer, I watched as Zim's antenna slit and twirled into a head full of chocolaty brown hair that framed a sweetly small heart shaped face. His magnificent magenta orbs slowly turned white than just as faintly, two just as red pupils faded to the center of them. The inside of the scan was like a whirlwind and my hair kind of got into my face too much to really see the rest of his transmutation. As the light dimmed and the scan finished a loud beep emitted and my pod opened. Without a second to spare, I ran out to Zim. He was leaning weakly against the back of the inside of the tube. His face was down and he held it with both hands. His tube still tightly sealed, I beat on the door to get his attention.
"Zim! What's wrong?!" I begged for a sign from him that he was okay. He shook his head back and forth. I panicked, his tube refusing to let me inside. I looked around quickly, my peripheral vision catching the pile of building pipe near the south wall. My heart felt like it was in my throat and I could feel every beat in my fingertips. Zim, already as far back into the tube with his face covered, I gave a swipe like a baseball player, swinging the pipe into the front of the pod. Zim flinched, but no glass reached him. Squeezing in, I grabbed him and picked him up, carrying him over the broken pieces of the tube. When we reached an unscattered area of the floor, I sat down and slipped his much smaller form, into my lap. He was shaking.
"Zim, talk to me? What is it?!" He looked at me with wide eyes and terror on his face. He beat down on his chest with one hand and gripped his throat with the other, trying to tell me. Then I saw. He wasn't breathing! Zim had lungs now, but his body didn't know how to breathe! "Fuck! You can't breathe!" I exclaimed out loud more than to him. Laying him down, he looked at me in absolute horror and confusion. I did the only thing I knew what to do in that kind of situation. Only thinking of Zim's life in the balance, I slammed my mouth onto his, blowing as hard as I could into his new lungs. He face grimaced in pain. I leaned up and pushed hard on his chest with flat palms, forcing the air back out, manually moving his lungs for him. I put my mouth on his again, repeating myself and praying that this worked. Finally, after a third hard push, Zim coughed and inhaled on his own, gasping.
"Oh thank God." I exhaled, releasing the rest of my panic and letting myself fall on to the ground as well in relief. Zim layed there for a few moments, almost as if he was testing his lungs on his own. I sat up and looked at him from the side. "Way to scare the shit out of me, Zim. Damn." I almost laughed. He smiled at me with his new lips and snickered as well. He touched his face as he smiled and felt his lips and his new teeth. "Ew…my teeth are flat- oh wait these ones aren't; why are the ones in the back sharp and flat?" He asked so confused. I've never seen him make a face like this. His fingers stuck in his mouth made him look even funnier. I laughed so hard I snorted.
"Stop laughing at me, human!" He demanded, his new cheeks blushing in embarrassment of his own wonder. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Haha.." I sighed from the good big laugh. He looked at him in amazement. I twisted one of my fingers into his new almost wavy short brown hair. "Wow…I can't believe it worked." I couldn't help, but want to touch him. This was crazy, we just changed his SPECIES. I couldn't just sit there and not be amazed. Zim blushed as I touched him. I didn't think of it much until I saw his face all red. It made my face lit up as well and kind of tucked myself in. Hiding my face behind my knees, I pulled them to my chest as we sat there next to one another.
"Well…anyway, it's definitely a success." I stood up and reached my hand out for him. I looked down at him for a moment, but he finally took it gladly even though he didn't need it. When I stood next to him, he was only half a foot taller than before. I tried not to let what I was thinking show through my smile. He looked at me grumpily. "I had hoped it would make me at least almost as tall as you." He mumbled unhappily. I smiled bigger at him, but then looked down to see I was still holding his hand. I snatched it back, surprising him, obviously forgetting they were as well. Then he looked passed me and yelled out loud. "AAA!!!" He pointed angrily to his broken glass pod. "What have you done!?"
I rolled my eyes. "Look, I broke it to save you. Calm down." And just like that things were back to normal. Well, as normal as we got. He stomped over to the machine and turning around, putting his back to it and glaring at me. He lifted a strongly pointed finger to his right and pressed a button. What was left of the glass door released and slid open. Zim twitched in anger when more pieces of the door broke off as it moved. He continued to stare at me. I guess he was angry I wasn't psychic and didn't know there was a button to open the door.
"Why the fuck didn't you say something?!" I yelled back, not wanting to admit I felt like an ass. He snapped back as soon as I replied.
"Excuse me for being too busy with suffocating to answer you!" He stepped towards me with a hand clinched into a fist. In the same motion, he stepped on a shard of glass with his new soft feet. Jumping up on one foot he cried out. "Damn your species squishy weak skin." He reached an arm out to me and a kinder face. "Get me upstairs, Dib." He was pouting, probably from trying to hide how much it really hurt from me. A little worried, I did what I was told without another pissy comment.
Back upstairs, I carried him to the couch and sat him down. Without his permission, I lifted his foot up to my view. "It was a clean cut so there's no glass in it. You're lucky, getting glass out of your foot does not a good day make." He just pouted. "Spare me your planet's "word of wisdom"." I chuckled, but said nothing. I guess he thought I was trying to teach him something. I walked into the kitchen and got a cloth, wetting it a little. When I walked back into the living room, I wished I had brought my HD camera. Zim was sitting upright on the couch and was still propping his hurt foot on top of his other knee, but instead of looking at his injury…he was looking at his toes. He was so into looking at his own foot, Zim didn't even see me staring. He had his littlest toe in between his pointer finger and his thumb. "It's just…so tiny…" He mumbled to himself with an amused grin. I slowly pulled my phone out of my pocket and opened the camera app. Praying that it would load before Zim noticed me, I waited quietly. Just as it opened, Zim put on an even more adorable smile, like he was proud of himself. I took the picture, but forgot it would make the camera noise. Luckily, before Zim even looked up at me, I had the phone back in my pocket. He still blushed and snapped his hands back to his sides.
"Uh- yes, clean my wound. Make yourself useful." He crossed his arms and pouted again. I felt ashamed, but I admitted in my mind that I thought he was cute. In fact, he was adorable. I favored his true form, but he could have been the most popular kid in school if he had looked like this. Any girl would have swooned over him, even if he was as short as he was. The thought pissed me off so much it cautiously made me uncomfortable. Suddenly, I didn't want to let him outside like this.
"Sure…" I muttered and bowed in front of him to clean the blood off his foot. Zim looked down at the messed cloth. "Our…our blood is the same now…" He mumbled in wonder as he studied the color. I shrugged, not that amazed by it. "I wonder…." He felt towards his back. "My pak was supposed to still be there….but humans have their own process for energy…so…where..?" He didn't seem to be able to find anything.
"Let me look." I told him, without thinking. "Okay, tell me what you see, 'fellow' earthling." He giggled to himself sarcastically as he turned around on the couch. I was about to feel through his jacket, but he took both his hoodie and his shirt off for me to see his bare back. My hand hesitated over his newly warmed skin. I found what I was looking for. "Well…?" Zim asked, waiting in suspense.
"WELL…"I repeated him to start. "There are…small rounded areas under the first layer of skin. They're in a triangle pattern just like on your pak, and they're….they're actually UNDER your skin." I explained. He was quiet. "I wonder…" He started again. I had placed my palm flat on his back, right on top of one of the bulbs. When it suddenly moved, it started me. "Aaah-!" Zim hissed in pain. "It hurts when I try to use it. I'll work on that in the programming next time." He mumbled to himself, obviously making mental notes.
"That's crazy…It's like you grew over and around it. Does anything else hurt? I can't believe that's in you and it's not messing with any of your organs or skeletal structure…" My mind couldn't really wrap around how it was working, but I guess it was no different than when people are born with a certain mutation. Like someone with an extra toe or hump. I could never understand how it physically feels, but it never really seems to bother them all too much. This could just be seen as a small mutation.
"I'm suppose I'm going to have to get used to not using my pak for a while." Zim looked a little sad at that. I thought hard about what was really differing him from me now. He had pink flesh, hair, the same bones, eyes, and organs. Zim was human now. Was there even a fight to be had anymore? Zim slipped back into his clothes as I thought things over to myself. Then he glared at me. "At least until my TUBE'S fixed! You know, Dib? Since you BROKE IT!" His voice varied in different loudness levels as always. I rolled my eyes, cleaning the little bit of the blood left on his foot.
After the blood kind of stopped, I pulled out my wallet and slipped out on of the extra band aid I carried with me. Zim looked strangely upon me. His gaze grew even stranger when I placed the little sticky tape over his cut. "So it's a medical device? Do you always carry things like this around?" I felt myself smile sadly as he asked me this. "My uh…mother used to always carry them when I was young. Carrying them around now just kind of keep her with me." I just softly gazed at Zim's new tiny foot and gingerly put it down before I looked back up at him. His countenance killed the soft moment. "Zim didn't really understand any of that." Sighing, I sat on the other side of the couch. "Yeah, I figured. You are still an alien, after all."

Morrissey's Mope Headed to IMAX 3D in Hollywood High School Concert Movie
According to nephew, Moz doc will run in 47 U.S. theaters
Morrissey might be headed to an IMAX theater near you. Earlier this year, it was confirmed (via Pitchfork) that Moz's March 2 performance at the Hollywood High School auditorium in Los Angeles will be released as a concert film on DVD. Now, Slicing Up Eyeballs reports that the movie will hit IMAX 3D screens across the U.S.

Available in IMAX 3D."
That's good news for the droves of fans who missed out on the English crooner's recent U.S. tour, which was canceled due to persistent health problems. Nothing official regarding the film's DVD or theatrical release has been announced yet, but the flick was mentioned in the spring 2013 catalog from Eagle Vision, the TV division of Eagle Rock Entertainment.
Meanwhile, the former Smiths frontman will soon get back on the road for a tour of South America. Scroll down to watch Morrissey play "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" (filmed at the Hollywood High show by Rayner), followed by a full set list and upcoming live dates.

All may truly not be well with P-Square as their fight gets even messier than we'd thought.
The news of their breakup went viral yesterday but their publicist, Bayo Adetu debunked the gist, saying it was some handiwork of mischief bloggers.
And now, a source close to the Okoyes disclosed to Linda Ikeji what actually caused the fight between the brothers and at the moment, there seems to be no hope of reconciliation as Peter had moved his family out of the home he shared with his brothers. They are also at the verge of sharing their properties.
Read details below:
"Yes they fought this week. Peter even left a mark on Paul's left eye. But the fight wasn't during rehearsal, which rehearsal? Peter has refused to do anything P-Square for weeks now. Forget that he was at his brother's wedding, things are not good between them right now. They were even invited to perform at president Jonathan's wedding but they didn't go. Peter wants out. He said Paul and Jude are sidelining him. That if they push out 200 songs, 199 would be songs Paul did. That people are now calling him a dancer in P-Square. Peter is really angry. He's even the cool and friendly one between the brothers but he is not himself right now. And then he accused his brother Jude of disrespecting his wife. Peter and Jude haven't spoken in weeks. Peter said Jude has been disrespecting Lola for years and he was done tolerating the BS. In fact Peter said that not only is Lola older than Jude, but that she's also pregnant and Jude was upsetting a pregnant woman. If you notice Jude didn't attend their wedding last year despite the fact that he was in Nigeria. Jude asked Peter why he didn't marry Lola when their mother was alive. Jude said it's his wife that is pushing him and they will need to pray for him. In fact nobody in the Okoye family likes Lola and they didn't support the marriage. The brothers are really angry at each other. The police is even involved. This week, either the commissioner of police or someone from his office visited their house.
The worst part is that they have invited lawyer to come and share property o. They want to share everything. The lawyer was at their house I think on Thursday. Peter said no more P-Square joint ventures. You know they own everything together, including a house in Omole, Parkview and Atlanta. Except something is done fast P-Square is about to be finished. But I know that people have been intervening and begging them to reconsider, that they are the biggest musical duo in Africa. Nobody will benefit if they split. The power to make money is in their togetherness.
It is Jude people are begging to keep the brothers together, but after what he tweeted yesterday, it may truly be over for P-Square. Jude has really tried for his brothers, for him to give up may mean it's over for them.
He practically put his entire life on hold for his brothers. Even sold his first car to shoot their first video but all that is about go come to an end like he tweeted. The only thing that can save the situation is if by a miracle Jude and Lola settle their differences but I don't see that happening"

The HP Compaq NC4200 with Ubuntu Linux
Linux often requires several kernel patches, or even Windows drivers, to work properly on a portable computer. HP originally intended to market their NC4200 notebook with Ubuntu, so they went the extra mile to get the system working with Linux.
Linux users often suffer several rounds of patching, tweaking, and troubleshooting to install Linux on the highly specialized and under-documented hardware of a portable computer. If you've ever put Linux on a laptop, you've probably dreamed of the day when vendors will simply solve all the problems for you and sell you a ready-made, Linux-compatible system. Veterans of these late-night notebook configuration sessions will be pleased to know that Hewlett Packard has already invested many testing hours in trying out their NC4200 notebook with Linux. HP originally had planned to market the European version of the NC4200 with Ubuntu, and though it now appears that they won't build Linux into the box, the fact that HP has tooled and tested the system for Ubuntu will make the NC4200 an easy fit for users who wish to migrate.

The crystal jazz of Ellis Larkins
IT is a custom among journalists to justify their preoccupation of the moment by hooking it to an anniversary - then foisting the subject on the reader with the argument of timeliness. Very well. It is exactly 10 years since the pianist Ellis Larkins made an album in Paris called ``A Smooth One'' for the Classic Jazz label. Furthermore, it is exactly 15 years since he cut an album of duets with the cornetist Ruby Braff for Chiaroscuro Records in New York - ``Grand Reunion'' was the title.
Does this satisfy the required news peg?
Of course if the man had just won a poll as Best Jazz Pianist of the Year - or even Best-Dressed Jazz Pianist of the Year - the cry would go up: ``Stop the presses!''
What nonsense! The good and sufficient reason to write about Mr. Larkins now, or at any time, is that he happens to be a superbly gifted musician, a fact that in the best of all worlds would command a headline now and then, year in, year out.
In addition - if you need an ``in addition'' - he belongs to a neglected field of music. The attention that jazz receives compared with rock is, alas, in proportion to the difference in volume of sound, it seems. Surely it is one of the duties of a journalist to unplug all those high-decibel rock guitars and redress the balance.
Moreover, in his neglected field, Larkins is not exactly a household name, perhaps because he constitutes as subtle a presence among jazz musicians as a musician does among heavy-metal rockers. Classically trained at the Peabody Conservatory of Music, and later at the Juilliard School, he looks like a scholar at the keyboard - bespectacled, impeccably but soberly dressed, every inch not a showman.
The appearance is far from misleading. Larkins carries jazz to the brink of overrefinement. He feathers the keyboard as if it were a well-tempered clavier, striking the hammers with a gentle precision. The notes in his runs scatter like dazzling chips of crystal. His elegant style is made for whispering brushes and tinkling cymbals and bass strings that go quietly plonk! in the night. A listener's first impression may be of a control too absolute, too immaculate to be jazz.
