2.0 out of 5 stars over-promised and under-delivered
Harris is another of the popular atheist-scientists who spends most of the time riffing about the evils of organized religion. Fine. Got it. Heard it lost from Hitchens and all those other loudmouths. I am not defending Christianity or any religion but what these guys don't know about the human drive to believe in something other than oneself could fill another book...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wit and Wisdom,
Gretta Vosper, "With or Without God" ... (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
In End Of Faith, Harris poked around in the box marked "Religion" and, with a brilliant wit and the clarity of a well-refined anger, showed much of its content to be rank and not worth keeping.
In The Moral Landscape, he again notes the challenges religion presents, this time to the discussion of morals, but he also opens up the box marked "Science" and hauls out some of the stuff in it that threatens to taint the whole collection. By getting it out of the way, he clears for all of us a path by which we might achieve a civilization bounded by empathy and goodwill and in which the chasm that has existed between "facts and values - and therefore between science and morality" is bridged.
And again, Harris's particularly brilliant wit allows us to enjoy ourselves all the way to the refreshing clarity his wisdom offers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bold new take on universal morality,
A. Volk (Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Make no mistake about it, this book is an ambitious book. Harris challenges the long-held assertion that morals are for religion and culture, outside of the realm of science. In other words, science can reveal the way we behave, and why (in fact, evolutionary psychology and related disciplines are doing just that), but it can't tell us how we SHOULD behave. Harris claims that science can. That science should.
To paraphrase, Harris uses two logical statements to support this assertion:
1- Some states produce more well-being/happiness/goodness then others.
2- These states depend on physical events that are predictable.
This means science can tell us how to achieve (via morals) well-being. For example, allowing rape is not likely to increase well-being in general. The fact that well-being is hard to define, or potentially impossible, is not a deterrent. Science is not about absolutes. It's about probabilities, and improvement. What's healthier- to be a sprinter or a marathon runner? To be kinder to strangers or kinder to kin? George Burns may have smoked and lived to 90+, but is smoking healthy? Some people hit their spouses and enjoy it, but does spousal abuse promote well-being? Harris would answer "no" to those, and claim that science backs him up in both. Harris doesn't claim to have all the answers to many challenging ethical/moral questions, but argues that there are some answers that are objectively better than other answers. Some morals are objectively better at producing well-being than other morals, and science can help us determine what those are. Moral relativism is an excuse. Clearly, some things promote more harm than well-being, like severe child abuse. If we can agree that child abuse does harm well-being (and the new positive psychology, as well as traditional clinical psychology agree), then science can tell us that a moral against child abuse is more likely to be a good moral than a moral promoting child abuse. Just like health science can tell us that eating super-sized fast-food meals is less healthy than eating roasted vegetables. I should point out that I can't really do the book's 200-page argument justice within the confines of a review. It's a simple, but deep argument built on logical deductions and sprinkled with some inductive evidence from psychology/neuroscience. For me, Harris' main argument is pretty hard to escape.
There are some drawbacks to this book that made me consider giving it less than five stars. The biggest one for a lot of readers is probably that Harris is very anti-religion. I feel that Harris wastes a lot of time bashing religion and those who believe it in. He doesn't need to once he successfully argues that science can weigh in on morality. He argues that it's condescending to not tell religious people they're flat-out wrong, but I would argue that it's not effective to do so (and I bet it sure feels condescending to them). Early on, Harris does admit that his theory doesn't exclude the possibility of religious goals entering the well-being equation (e.g., the perceived need to save one's eternal soul would surely weigh in on the definition of well-being), but he dismisses those ideas vehemently in later chapters. The other major drawback is that this is largely an effort in argument and logic that is very scant on actual evidence and research on the topic. In his defense though, this book represents an attempt to start an entirely new branch of science, so the lack of evidence at this stage is excusable. Normally I'd knock off a star for that lack of evidence, but in this case, I find his argument so powerful and interesting that I kept all five stars.
So I know that some people aren't going to think this is a five-star book. I happen to think it is because I find his argument highly persuasive. But more than that, what Harris does is open up a very important topic to real debate- can science have anything meaningful to say about our well-being in the same way it does about our physical health? Whether or not you agree with Harris, I think it's hard to argue that this is not a question worth serious consideration. I also agree with Harris that we are a more moral society now than we were in the past. Objectively so. But I also agree with him that we need to keep considering and questioning our morals rather than sitting on our laurels, and his idea of using science to help us develop better morals is one well worth exploring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best approach I have heard of,
Bitfiddler (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
Lets get a few things out of the way.
If you actually understand what Mr Harris is saying (which many negative reviewers clearly did not) you should understand this:
1) He does not advocate moral relativism in the sense that 'anything goes'. He clearly outlines what he means by morals and then goes on to describe a framework for identifying those moral frameworks which work better than others. He does say that there may be multiple, and equally beneficial, systems for moral reasoning. That is far from saying 'anything goes' (i.e. rape, murder, etc...). This is perhaps the strongest aspect of his argument. He does not claim to know the answer. He does not claim that the answer is 100% knowable. He describes how we have been coming ever closer in some respects (and farther in others) to a moral system that allows more people to live fulfilling lives than could be imagined 200 years ago (and i'm not talking about advances in technology or medicine).
2) He clearly argues against moral absolutism. He convincingly explains why moral absolutism is dangerous and how, despite Religions attempts to claim an unchanging moral compass, the majority of so-called religious moderates are actually shifting their moral leanings/interpretations of their holy books in response to a changing Moral landscape. It is those that do not change their morals that we call 'fundamentalists'.
3) He is not trying to 'prove' anything. He has described a reasonable way in which science, logic, observation and discourse can lead to productive and conscious choices about morality. Over time it is reasonable to hope that we could weed out bad 'moral' prescriptions and modify/replace them with others to move in a direction of increased human flourishing.
If you are the type of person who, without your holy book you would rape, steal and murder, this book will not help you. Actually "God" will not help you either (you probably need counselling and a dose of some anti-psychotics), but that's a topic for another day. On the other hand, if you are the type of person who is uncomfortable with moral prescriptions based solely on ancient texts, this book is definitely a good read. You may not agree with every point, but the book is well written, orderly and thorough. At the end of the day I would much sooner adopt a reality-based moral system than one arbitrarily constructed by ancient mystics. At least if you make a mistake that increases suffering (in the world imagined by Sam Harris) you can identify the problem and correct it. Sacred texts on the other hand shackle you to whatever barbarism is contained therein, otherwise you 'protest' the interpretations of the text and move in arbitrary (without the guidance of evidence and reason) moral directions in the hope of finding something better (a kind of moral evolution you might say, with the unfortunate consequence of mountains of needless suffering).

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely better moral framework,
Chad English (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This book sets a very solid foundation for a science of morals. Sam Harris has a way to cut through the issues and extract the important details. I have always found discussion of morals missing a few key ingredients, but Harris addresses them all with clarity and humility. Don't get me wrong, he aims big -- very big, but he avoids grandiose claims.
The essence of the proposed moral framework is the definition of morality is that which improves human well-being. Indeed, this isn't everyone's definition, and Harris doesn't hide from that fact. But he discusses it in the context of which features of a definition of morality are defensible and which are not. From this definition, the rest of the book falls into place, and indeed both a science of morality and a moral absolutism can be derived from it. Harris does not claim that determining rules of morality by this method will be easy, far from it. But the difficulty, or impossibility, of measuring or predicting cause-effect outcomes on human well-being does not mean the principle itself is flawed. If we cannot determine an outcome for a particular scenario, and hence cannot determine a moral course of action, that does not mean that inserting answers by other methods (such as dogma) are better in any way. That sort of "morality of gaps" is very analogous to the "god of gaps" in scientific knowledge. Bad information is worse than no information, and admitting we don't know the answer to something is better than making one up, particularly when people make up different answers. Moreover, such ability to make determinations can change over time and contributing factors become clearer, as is the case in complex and chaotic systems. I can't determine what the weather will be in my city 1 year from today, but that doesn't mean making up an answer is helpful, and I can make a fairly accurate prediction if I wait until a few days beforehand to re-evaluate the conditions.
Harris attacks moral relativism and points out it is based on a fallacy of incredulity. Since people cannot, or could not, think of a fundamental basis for morality, that does not justify holding all cultural morality systems as equal. Likewise, the difficulty in defining "well-being" -- both individualistically and statistically -- does not negate the argument for its use as a moral foundation. Harris points out that the same problem exists in a variety of fields. The fact that we cannot all agree on a strictly bounded definition of health does not stop us from making absolute measurements and improvements of health, even if there are fuzzy boundaries where answers are less clear. Even the statistical problem is not a show-stopper. How does one measure "well-being"? If a course of action improves the "well-being" of 99% of people but makes 1% worse off, is that an improvement? This is a red herring though, as it is simply the age-old statistical problem of aggregate and distribution. The same problem is true of standard of living. An increase of total and average standard of living can occur by a few getting hyper-wealthy while the majority get worse off, or by everyone improving equally, and all sorts of distributions in between. But that doesn't stop us from improving our standard of living, or evaluating good and bad methods of doing so. Additionally, there may be multiple solutions of equal value. The existence of multiple peaks on the moral landscape in terms of behaviours, and peaks of the same height of well-being, means that there can be multiple answers. That doesn't negate the principle either. Going up one of the peaks is still an improvement in morality if we currently aren't on one.
Perhaps the most interesting contribution of the book, in my opinion, is addressing morality in science. In the past, many thinkers have suggested that science has no place in morality, most notably scientists such as Steven J. Gould. Many scientists still believe that nowadays, and certainly the moral relativity of social science is rife with it. I had thought this sort of thinking had been put to bed with evolutionary psychology. A large part of our moral behaviours and moral judgments are strategic solutions to social game theory problems. Although not the first, Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene discusses the evolution of behaviours and judgments we call "moral" in terms of the "tit-for-tat" optimization of the Iterated Prisoners Dilemma, a circumstance that models many social interactions. In fact, I had hoped Harris would spend more time on this topic, and particularly in addressing the differences between innate moral behaviours (e.g., altruism) and moral judgments of others. The fact we don't cut in line is interesting but understandable in a tit-for-tat sense. The fact we wish to punish people who cut in front of us is even more understandable in that it costs us directly. What is more interesting is that we innately wish to punish people that cut into somebody else's line, and that we wish to punish the people in that line who fail to punish the person who cut in. The most interesting is when we have those judgments of others but feel justified ourselves in cutting in line sometimes, especially if we won't get caught. Such hypocrisy does have some evolutionary explanation.
That isn't to say it is good, as "natural" does not necessarily mean "good". And this is how Harris sidesteps the whole evolutionary discussion above. He simply points out that "intuitive morality" via evolution is no more correct than "intuitive physics". Natural selection pressures might have lead us to some social rules of thumb that are good enough, and counter-balanced by others, but this doesn't mean they are the best answers for our own well-being. The same is true of intuitive physics, as it is often quite wrong but a good enough approximation for the sorts of activities that drove our evolution. (The same has been said for many "spiritual" intuitions, such as assuming a rustling in the leaves is the result of an intentional agent rather than the wind. A false positive is inherently safer than a false negative under such circumstances.)
This book has reset my basis for philosophical evaluation of morality. I had previously focused on the moral absolutism of game theory solutions, and indeed those outcomes do fit into Harris' well-being-based framework. But after reading this book I have moved back one step to a more basic and generalized definition. I concur with Harris' framework.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting book with a unique take on science and morality,
JMM (USA) - See all my reviews
This was a very enlightening book, and might be my favorite one from Sam Harris. Given that Harris is considered one of the most formidable "new atheists", people will look at this book as anti-religious (which it certainly is). But it's important not to overstate that element; Harris is just suggesting that there are other places to get your morals and values besides a holy book.
Much of Harris's argument deals with the idea of suffering. The more we know about science (in particular neuroscience and the brain), the more we are learning are the nuance of suffering. There are different types of suffering, the most obvious one related to physical pain; and we essentially know that all conscious creatures have the capacity to suffer. Harris's discussion of morals boils down the goal of minimizing suffering; as he states it, avoiding "the worst possible misery for everyone".
It's a great book that's has it's moments of difficulty, but in general is a fairly easy and enjoyable read. I think any book that examines morality in any capacity is one worth taking a look at.
After reading the book, I viewed some of Harris's public speaking engagements. He often repeats many of the ideas in his book in these lectures/debate (which can be found online) - so they are worth a watch if you want to reinforce the ideas found within.
5.0 out of 5 stars quantum shift,
Peter Vize "dpdv" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
The purpose of this work is very straightforward- to argue that there are better ways to make moral decisions than religion. Harris makes some very clear points, that few could argue against, in which science clearly is more than capable of showing what the right decision is in on moral questions. This basic argument is all this book needs to be a major contribution to politics, philosophy, and we can only wish, religion.
Detractors of the book tend to delve into philosophical arguments using formal terminologies that most of us don't care about. What is right and what is less right is the premise that is being explored. Harris has to my knowledge not been formally trained as a philosopher, but that does not mean his argument fails- simply that philosophers (who have in the past failed to do much in this area that has contributed to public awareness and discussion) have something to start working with. This is how science works, you start with observation, then a hypothesis, then experiments and testing. So dropping the pointless objections to is-ought errors and getting to the moral point would be a better use of the philosopher's time. The other detraction that is levelled is the lack of empirical data to back up claims in the discussion of what is the correct basis for making decisions about well being. Once again I think this is missing the point and the average reader will not want to read psychology test scores, look at neuron action potentials or sheets of statistics. The use cases Harris presents clearly show that science can make the determination between what is good and what is less good and that is the central issue. There are obviously more difficult scenarios but this is also encountered by those who propose morals should be based on religion, and what is right and wrong differs vastly according to the religion consulted. Given time, thought and experiment scientific solutions to these more complex situations will be apparent.
This is a thought provoking and brave book that provides a framework for making moral arguments about the human condition. It is a critical contribution to humankind, and how we should orient our moral compasses.
5.0 out of 5 stars Why not a science of morality?,
This book does not nearly reach the philosophical depths that its subject matter allows. For many readers, this is a very good thing.
The subtitle reads "How science can determine human values". The book does not, however, go into much detail about the relevant philosophical moves required to begin to define values as Harris suggests. That is not to say that Harris' interest in philosophy does not come through at all, but for better or for worse, the philosophy is at the level you would expect from scientists more interested in science, and in this case, appraising society's norms.
Harris's interest in neuroscience provides multiple startling glimpses into the human mind. He shares ideas challenging some forms of free will, and questioning whether we really feel empathy the way that we think we do. On the other hand, his distrust of all religions is more of a distraction than an addition to his case - not quite worthy of the time it is given in the book.
Sam Harris's idea of a "Moral Landscape", by his own admission, is just the beginning of a groundwork for a scientific, practical approach to morals. The book will leave some readers craving for modern philosophers' views on Ethical Naturalism - but that might not be so bad. Harris's latest book is extremely entertaining, and is a fine, if casual approach to the question "Why COULDN'T we have a science of morality?"

And James' brother, comedian Gary Valentine (The King of Queens), is set to play a sympathetic fellow security guard."
"Wizards of Waverly Place" star David Henrie will join Kevin James in Sony's sequel to "Paul Blart : Mall Cop".
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Henrie will play a young man courting Blart's daughter.
[The film] follows James' Paul Blart who attends a Security Guard Expo in Las Vegas with his daughter. Despite being teased by casino security and other attendees, Blart takes on a group of dangerous art thieves.
Henrie, 24, will play Lane, a valet attendant who meets Blart's daughter (Raini Rodriguez), and they develop a crush on each other.

This egg salad bento box is a hearty lunch and snack all in one. Spoon the egg salad into a lettuce "bowl" to keep it looking pretty and enjoy with cocktail bread and veggies. Toss banana and blueberries with yogurt to keep the bananas from turning brown. Save the chocolate chips and pistachios for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate egg salad (Step 1) for up to 2 days.
- 2 hard-boiled eggs (see Tip), peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely diced celery
- 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced scallion greens
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 leaves Boston or Bibb lettuce
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup banana slices
- 2 tablespoons nonfat or low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 2/3 cup broccoli florets, cooked or raw
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 3 slices cocktail-size pumpernickel bread
- 1 tablespoon shelled unsalted pistachios
- 1 tablespoon bittersweet chocolate chips
- Tip: To hard-boil eggs, place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water and cover the eggs with cold water. Let stand until cool enough to handle before peeling.
Mash the eggs in a small bowl with a fork. Stir in the celery, mayonnaise, mustard, scallion greens and pepper until combined. Line one container with lettuce leaves and fill with the egg salad.
Combine the blueberries, banana and yogurt in another container. Arrange the broccoli and tomatoes in a third container. Place the bread in a fourth container. Nestle a dip-size container in with the bread; fill it with pistachios and chocolate chips.

Stefan Tell, Ramstech, Roseattle, and 7 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Great control of light and reflection. I'd like to see the whole of the reflection, but otherwise really nice. I like the way you lighted the background also.
Cool! Thanks for the write up, love the blog.
larshf thanks, as you can see in the original shot (leftmost), I had the entire reflection in the image, this is one of the reasons I didn't go with a black tile. I guess Mooshon did not appreciate cutting his ears as well :)
Afulki Thanks man
Very nice!
Here I go again, after I've said I don't comment on esthetics on this site except when judging competitions!
I think the subdued and cropped reflection is just right, enough to tell us what the surface is like and add interest, but not enough to distract from the subject.
The grid spot looks great. Job well done.
Zeke.K, hawridger - thanks
Fil Hunter Fil, once again thanks for the comment. I had a lot of trial and error with the size of the crop. It felt best just above the head for two reasons:
* it gave the picture the "natural" 2:1 proportions again
* the metal wire was very poorly lit in the reflection.
with that said, I did go through a little post production trick to get the oh-so-spekless and clean reflection. the post steps are described here.
I agree with Fil Hunter. The position is spot on to me and the reflection doesn't keep me from focusing on the main subject. It reminds me of a Whammy!
Thank you for sharing your lighting set ups!
Great lighting and explanations, thanks
Seen on your photo stream. (?)

How to Make Love to a Woman(2010)
A comedy of miscommunication between the sheets, "How to Make Love to a Woman" explores one man's journey to save his relationship by attempting to improve his "sex skills" instead of communicating what he really feels... and the right answers are not at all what he expected
For more about How to Make Love to a Woman and the How to Make Love to a Woman Blu-ray release, see How to Make Love to a Woman Blu-ray Review published by Casey Broadwater on July 28, 2010 where this Blu-ray release scored 2.0 out of 5.

How to Make Love to a Woman Blu-ray Review
Or, an Idiots Guide to Lovemaking
Reviewed by Casey Broadwater, July 28, 2010
With a tagline that oh-so-cleverly reads, "Don't beat around the bush," two things are immediately apparent about the straight-to-video flop How to Make Love to a Woman: 1.) It's going to be one of those crass sex comedies where men are portrayed as total ignoramuses when it comes to the topography and workings of women's nether-regions, and 2.) it'll inevitably try to make a tender, heartfelt point about the importance of communication in sexual relationships. The latter makes sense, even if the film is overly cloying about it. Both genders need to be open about their feelings, their desires, their hang-ups, what works, what doesn't, et cetera. "Well, yeah, duh," you say, and the whole tired joke of the film is that men are basically as blind as fruit bats to the obvious. The former, thoughpoint #1is where I'm confused. We live in probably the most prurient, sexually open times since ancient Rome. On the internet you can find sights so perverseand I'm cribbing from The Smiths herethat "Caligula would have blushed." Explicit materialpornographic or just plain explanatoryis just a mouse click away. Do you mean to tell me, then, that in these days of elementary school sex ed, widely available anatomical diagrams, and sexual frankness, that there are still men who don't even know approximately where to find a clitoris?
Andy Connors (Josh Meyers) is one such man. By day he's a successful young record company executive, finding obscure bands and making their dreams come true, and by night he's a sexual disappointment, unable to stimulate, or even find, his girlfriend Lauren's (Krysten Ritter) most obscure part. That is, the most sensitive erogenous zone, which characters in the movie refer to by a number of wink-wink innuendos, including: the "diamond," the "hooded lady," and, in one of the few truly funny lines in the film, "the weak spot on the Death Star." As you'd expect, though, the problem isn't purely physical. Andy is basically married to his job; he's absent, emotionally unperceptive, and has a tendency to make all of the troubles in their relationship somehow seem like Lauren's fault. He's also completely unaware that the sexual dynamite he thinks he's bringing actually fizzles out before Lauren can get to the big boom. Or, as Lauren's ditzy, man- hating friends put it, the sex train to Orlando never quite makes it to the station. After an anti-climactic romp on their anniversary, Lauren lets out an audible sighone of dissatisfaction, not pleasureand Andy finally realizes their relationship might be in jeopardy. And so he begins his quest to learn, yes, How to Make Love to a Woman.
What follows is a series of embarrassing episodesembarrassing for the characters, but also for the film itselfwhere Andy and his suave, band managing best friend Layne (Eugene Byrd) consult experts on how to please a woman. Naturally, their first stop is a gaggle of lesbian porn stars, who berate Andy's technique and inadvertently arouse Layne. ("Dude, I'm getting a serious Notorious B.I.G. in my pants.") A trip to a gynecologistwho shows them charts and offers strange confessionsyields results that are more creepy than helpful, and a visit with a tantric sex- practicing Buddhist monk goes awkwardly awry. Later, in a total WTF-style moment, Andy meets porn star Jenna Jameson, who steps out of a minivan, her bleached-to-oblivion hair blowing in slow motion, and offers the film's emotional thesis: "Can I give you some advice? Good communications skills are the key to any relationship." Lesson learned, Andy understands he need to tell Lauren that he loves her, but it might be too late. Her boss (Ken Jeong) has hooked her up with Daniel (Ian Somerhalder), an old family friend, and the two are getting chummy once again. This is a "romantic" comedy, thoughat least, it's supposed to beso you know where all this is heading. Andy will eventually find the diamondin more ways than oneand Lauren will finally arrive, so to speak, in Orlando.
The film is the product of first-time writer Dennis Kao and virgin director Scott Culver, who could both use some how-to advice on their respective crafts. The film strains in constipated agony to be both funny and affectingthe ending gets seriously saccharinebut the jokes are too broad and the characters never seem believable. Andy, in particular, is a total imbecile whose inability to get anything right almost seems like an affront to mankind. Really, no guy could be that daft, and Josh Meyers plays him with perpetual, what did I do wrong bewilderment, while his co- star pretends she's Penelope Cruz. If Meyers looks familiar, it's because he's a former cast member of MADtv and a near look-a-like to his older brother Seth, of Saturday Night Live fame. Josh shares his brother's smug, sideways smirk and affable everyman persona, but he just isn't funny herenot that he has much to work with. The script is subtext-free and sloppily arranged, built out of the leftover generalities and stock stereotypes of better battle-of-the-sexes- style comedies. The plot is an episodic mess that tries two twists too many in the final act, the performances fall flat, and the jokes arrive to the sound of crickets. The only the way film could have "straight-to-video" written all over it even more than it already does, would be if the poster for the movie literally had "straight-to-video" written on it in an enormous, bright orange, all-caps, 300pt. font.
How to Make Love to a Woman Blu-ray, Video Quality
E1 Entertainment brings How to Make Love to a Woman to Blu-ray with a 1080p/AVC- encoded transfer that does what it can with the film's low-budget look. Like most comedies, the lighting here is overly bright, giving the cinematography a flat, lifeless quality. This results in colors that, if realistic, seem a bit limp. There are moments when the film has more pop and depthlike the club scenes or the reunion in the rainbut in general the overall appearance is somewhat dull, with decent black levels but weak contrast. Clarity is mixed; some close-ups show all the detail and texture you expect from a high definition image, and other shots look slightly soft and unresolved. Most of this seems due to the focus pulling, though, which doesn't always hit its mark. (You'll often notice the camera operator trying in vain to keep the actors' eyes in focus.) Shot on 35mm, the film retains a thin layer of grain that rarely spikes, although because of the dimensionless lighting, the picture tends to look more video-ish than filmic. Still, there's not evidence of edge enhancement or out-of-control DNR, and I didn't notice any distracting compression artifacts. It could be better, but it could also be much, much worse.
How to Make Love to a Woman Blu-ray, Audio Quality
The same could be said for the film's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, which serves its dialogue-driven purpose but rarely offers any notable embellishments. The rear channels are only sparsely used for anything besides music, and when they do pipe up with environmental atmospherics like club chatter or wind and sand during Andy's walk on the beach with Laynethe effect is somewhat jarring because you've been conditioned not to hear any ambience from the back of the soundfield. Mostly, you'll be subjected to a lot of bad "emo" and pop-punk music, which sounds brash in the high end and lacks the dynamic anchor of deep bass response. As this is a comedywell purportedly a comedythe emphasis is on dialogue, and here the track doesn't fail. Voices come through cleanly throughoutall the more clear because each punch line will inevitably be followed with awkward silence from the audience.

How to Make Love to a Woman Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Straight-to-video comedy is generally more miss than hit, and that's certainly true of How to Make Love to a Woman, which strains to be funny and emotionally honest, but comes up short in both regards. The title sounds like a Woody Allen or Pedro Almodovar filmyou might imagine a sexy battle of the sexesbut don't be fooled. This train to Orlando doesn't even make it to Atlanta. I can't get no satisfaction, indeed.

There are really only 2 options here. 1) mktime doesn't work on Mac OS X. 2) Mac OS X does not honour the TZ system variable correctly. Given that C example 29 used to work, I suspect mktime is OK. Does it make any difference if you set TZ to be "UTC" rather than ""? Change setenv("TZ", "", 1); to setenv("TZ", "UTC", 1); Perhaps it doesn't like the blank TZ string? Andrew

Blue Jays demote outfielder Travis Snider
Incumbent Eric Thames will start the regular season in left field after close battle through spring training.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
DUNEDIN, FLA.—The Blue Jays' competition for left field is over.
Fan-favourite Travis Snider was cut from the big-league team and sent down to the minors following the Jays' 6-5 spring-training win over the Boston Red Sox Sunday afternoon.
So Eric Thames, the incumbent in the position, will be the Jays' Opening Day left fielder.
Snider, who was tied with J.P. Arencibia with a team-high four home runs this spring, had already left the ballpark when his demotion was announced, so was not available for comment.
Jays' general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Snider took the news "like a pro."
"It's one of those things that both guys played well and . . . we had to make a decision one way or the other."
Snider had already left the ballpark when his demotion was announced.
But he took to Twitter Sunday evening to thank his fans: "I tip my cap n hold my head high. Left it all out there n will continue that same focus in Vegas. Thank u all for your overwhelming support."
Anthopoulos said he made it clear to Snider — and will make it clear to Thames — that the decision is not permanent.
"Just because one guy starts the year doesn't mean it can't change at any time, so Travis is going to be ready," Anthopoulos said.
Snider, 24, was the Jays' first-round draft pick in 2006 and rose through the organization as one of its most highly touted prospects. In 232 games spread over four seasons, he has shown flashes of big-league potential, but never enough consistency to become an established everyday player and has never played more than 82 games for the club in a single season.
Snider is in his final option year, meaning he can be moved up and down from the big-league team to the minors throughout the 2012 season. Starting next year, however, he will have to clear waivers before being sent down.
Anthopoulos said the team is encouraged by his strong play this spring.
"Everything was so much better. The swing was better. Defensively he's gotten better over the years, and he's become a really good defensive outfielder. So we're encouraged and it was just a good problem to have. We had two guys playing really well."
Thames also battled hard this spring and seemed to answer every strong game by Snider with one of his own.
The edge seemed to be Thames' body of work and his play at the end of last season. In other words, it was his job to lose.
"They both had great springs," Anthopoulos said.
Snider will be ready for a call-up as soon as the team needs him, he added.
"He's getting better and he's getting right . . . so he just has to continue doing it and the minute we need to make a change, or we have a need, he's going to be right there waiting for us."

Barbara Lynch's Blizzard Bash will go on, snowstorm be darned
- Lisa van der Pool
- Broadcast/Social Media Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Chef Barbara Lynch's aptly named Blizzard Bash, the first-time event which is set to take place tomorrow night at the Boston Children's Museum, ironically, will occur during one of the biggest blizzards in recent years, according to local meteorologists who are predicting a doozey of a storm.
Despite the massive snow predictions, the event will go on as planned, according to Lynch's spokeswoman.
"It's a go! Our chefs and bartenders have arrived and we have plenty of food and cocktails and we're ready to throw a party!" wrote Sarah Hearn, Lynch's spokeswoman, in an email. "Apparently, Barbara can even predict the weather."
The event will benefit the Barbara Lynch Foundation, and has been in the works for months. About 30 celebrity chefs and bartenders are expected at the event, including Daniel Boulud, Nancy Silverton and Dave Woodrich. There will also be music and silent and live auctions at the event.
With tickets going for between $225 and $375 (for VIP passes), no doubt many attendees will be motivated to battle the storm in order to party.
"Having participated in a number of amazing culinary events in other cities, I have long wanted to create something similar for Boston that brings together talented chefs, bartenders and winemakers from around the country," said Lynch in a news release.

Houston Dynamo
On Wednesday, the Houston Dynamo announced a multi-year partnership to make Comcast SportsNet Houston the new home for Dynamo soccer. We caught up with Dynamo president Chris Canetti to discuss the new partnership.
The Dynamo traveled to Tucson, Ariz. on Monday morning to begin the first of two preseason trips. The club will also visit Charleston, S.C. for the Carolina Challenge Cup Feb. 16-23.
This trip includes three scrimmages against MLS competition beginning Tuesday afternoon (3 p.m. MT, 4 p.m CT) against the San Jose Earthquakes. The Dynamo face the Colorado Rapids on Thursday and the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday before flying back to Houston on Sunday morning.
This week in Tucson represents an opportunity for players to make an impact and an impression with several regulars not on the trip. In addition to Will Bruin, Tally Hall and Brad Davis, who will suit up for the U.S. national team on Tuesday night at BBVA Compass Stadium, Boniek Garcia is with Honduras and Corey Ashe, Calen Carr and Omar Cummings are each rehabbing injuries. With seven potential starters not on the Tucson trip, it offers quality minutes to several trialists and the squad players looking to crack the lineup on March 2 against D.C. United.
Today's practice session was a good indication of the competitive spirit in the camp. After a morning flight from Houston the club had a practice session at Kino Sports Complex with 40-degree temperatures and cold, desert winds. It wasn't an easy day in the sun after a morning flight. The group engaged in a spirited session that included a half-field scrimmage highlighted by impressive speed of play and some quality goals.
Now, with three games in five days, the players will have a chance to perform against MLS competition. It should be fun to watch. Check HoustonDynamo.com throughout the week for match reports and more.
It's not every day that Houstonians get to see the U.S. men's national team up close and personal. And it's even more rare when Houstonians get a front-row seat to see one of their own don the red, white and blue. So it was a truly special affair on Monday, when Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis, goalkeeper Tally Hall and forward Will Bruin took part in the USMNT's open training session at BBVA Compass Stadium ahead of Tuesday's friendly with Canada (8 pm CT; BUY TICKETS).
The Dynamo trio has been training with the national team over the past two weeks. Davis, the veteran of the group, has been in two prior January camps, and has five total caps for the USMNT. Hall and Bruin are in a senior national team camp for the first time.
Following Monday's training session, all three players spoke to the media about the opportunity to represent their country in their home stadium in front of the Dynamo fans.
In case you need more of a reason to attend Tuesday's match, former Dynamo midfielder Dwayne De Rosario will be in the lineup for Canada. Think De Rosario is excited to play in front of the fans that supported him for all those years in Houston?
In #houston @bbva compass field in front of Muriel. Some special memories for @houstondynamo #Dynamo with special fans twitter.com/dwaynederosari…
— Dwayne De Rosario (@dwaynederosario) January 28, 2013
With six weeks until the Dynamo open their 2013 campaign, fans now have the opportunity to buy tickets to the March 2 home opener vs. D.C. United and the March 5 CONCACAF Champions League match vs. Santos Laguna. Tickets went on sale Saturday at 2 p.m. and fans flocked to BBVA Compass Stadium to secure their seats.
After defeating Houston Baptist University 3-0 Saturday morning, Brian Ching, Bobby Boswell, Giles Barnes, Ricardo Clark and Eric Brunner spent their afternoon at BBVA Compass Stadium talking with ticket buyers and thanking them for their support.
Haven't purchased your seats yet? We suggest you don't wait much longer, as both matches are expected to sell out. For more information about Dynamo tickets visit HoustonDynamo.com/Tickets or call (713) 276-GOAL.
The weather forecast calls for 70 degrees and clear skies in Houston on Saturday, which is good news for soccer fans who are looking to see the Dynamo in action.
Houston will continue their preseason campaign with a scrimmage against Houston Baptist University at 11 a.m. at the Houston Amateur Sports Park. The Dynamo opened preseason camp on Monday and defeated the Dynamo Academy 3-0 in a scrimmage on Thursday. Saturday's scrimmage is free and open to the public.
Speaking of the Dynamo Academy, for fans who can't get enough live soccer, the Dynamo Academy will host the Sporting Kansas City Academy on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the U-18s will kick off at 2 p.m. with the U-16s to follow at 4:30. On Sunday, the U-18s kick off at 10:30 a.m. with the U-16s to follow at 1 p.m.
The Dynamo U-18s currently sit in fourth place in their division, one spot ahead of the Sporting KC U-18s. The Dynamo U-16s are in third place in their division and are coming off a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Dallas Texans last weekend.
Word on the street is that Tally Hall is surprising folks at the U.S. men's national team camp with his strong play. That's no surprise to anyone who has watched Hall emerge as one of the top goalkeepers in Major League Soccer over the past two years.
More #usmnt tidbits: hearing that Tally Hall has been impressive all camp, could be surprise starter in goal vs. Canada.
— Doug McIntyre (@DougMacESPN) January 25, 2013
The 27-year-old Hall has two seasons as a starter under his belt and led the Dynamo to the MLS Cup final in each of the past two years. Hall is currently in his first camp with the USMNT. Dynamo fans will be eager to see if their goalkeeper can represent the red, white and blue when the U.S. takes on Canada at BBVA Compass Stadium on Tuesday.

Elsewhere around the interweb, Brian Sciaretta caught up with Will Bruin to discuss the January camp. Click here to read his article in the New York Times Goal Blog.
Tickets for the first two Dynamo home games of 2013 will go on sale tomorrow at 2 p.m. at an autograph session at BBVA Compass Stadium. Tickets will be available for the March 2 MLS opener against D.C. United and the March 5 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal match against Santos Laguna.
All fans who purchase tickets to either game at the BBVA Compass Stadium ticket office (2200 Texas St., Houston) will have the opportunity to receive autographs from Dynamo forward Brian Ching, midfielders Ricardo Clark and Giles Barnes and defenders Bobby Boswell and Eric Brunner.
Once tickets are purchased, fans may enter the stadium through the adidas Dynamo team store and proceed to the Budweiser Deck to receive autographs and take photographs with players and the 2012 Eastern Conference Championship trophy.
In 2012, the first five games at BBVA Compass Stadium sold out. The first two home games on the 2013 schedule promise to be in-demand as well. The March 2 encounter with D.C. United is a rematch of the 2012 Eastern Conference Championship, a 4-2 aggregate series win for Houston. The Dynamo's March 5 opponent, Santos Laguna, reached the 2012 CONCACAF Champions League Final and captured the Mexican League's 2012 Clausura title. It is also the first-ever meeting between the Dynamo and Santos.
Tickets will also be available at HoustonDynamo.com/tickets.
When BBVA Compass Stadium opened last May, the promise of not only Dynamo soccer but international soccer was a major appeal to the Houston community. Since then, the downtown venue has hosted a Mexico-Guyana World Cup qualifier and the penultimate match of the U.S. women's national team gold medal victory tour. Next Tuesday, BBVA Compass Stadium will have its first opportunity to host a U.S. men's national team match, and after this morning's news from CONCACAF, another high-quality national team fixture might not be far away.
CONCACAF announced Wednesday morning that BBVA Compass Stadium is one of the 13 venues that will host matches in the 2013 Gold Cup that will run from July 7-28. With its rich soccer history and diverse population, it's no surprise that Houston was chosen as a host city for the tournament. Reliant Stadium hosted the 2011 Gold Cup semifinals and was packed to the rafters with fans of the El Tri and the U.S. national team.
"It's great to see the Gold Cup coming to BBVA Compass Stadium," said Dynamo president Chris Canetti. "I think it makes a statement that BBVA Compass Stadium is highly regarded as a top venue and Houston as a top market for international soccer matches. I am happy that CONCACAF recognizes these very important aspects and has awarded us with the games."
Aside from the stadium being decked out in orange, the Dynamo could have at least one player participating in this summer's tournament. Boniek Garcia's Honduran squad qualified for the 2013 Gold Cup after finishing the Central American Cup group stage with an 0-0-2 record. Los Catrachos will face Belize on Friday in the semifinals, with the winner advancing to Sunday's final to take on the winner of Costa Rica and El Salvador.
The Dynamo will not lose any of their Jamaican players for this summer's tournament, after the Reggae Boyz failed to advance out of their group in the 2012 Caribbean Cup. With three Dynamo players currently in camp with the U.S. men's national team, it's possible any of Will Bruin, Tally Hall and Brad Davis could earn a call-up this summer, but official rosters will not be announced until late June.
The U.S. men's national team played a closed-door scrimmage yesterday afternoon against Club Tijuana's reserves at the Home Depot Center. We don't expect any highlights to surface, but reports have said that Dynamo forward Will Bruin scored two goals in his side's win. Wasserman Media Group agent Aaron Maines appears to have had a front-row seat for the scrimmage (as evidenced by his Twitpic) and sent the following update:
FINAL: USMNT 3, Club TJ 0.Parke & @wbruin (2) w/ 2nd half goals. #USMNT twitter.com/Amaines/status…
— Aaron Maines (@Amaines) January 23, 2013
This is definitely good news for Bruin, who is in his first camp with the USMNT. It's too early to say if this type of showing might earn Bruin a spot on a World Cup qualifying squad, but if he continues to show well in training, there is a good chance to see Bruin line up against Canada for the January 29 match at BBVA Compass Stadium.
