A rare and stunning type of solar eclipse will be clearly visible this Sunday night when the moon casts a shadow on the sun, resulting in a flaming ring of fire surrounding a darkened sun.
Called an "annular", or "ring", eclipse, it will be visible from the Mammoth and northern Eastern Sierra area beginning at about 5:15 Sunday night until 7:40 p.m., with the maximum coverage of the sun at about 6:30 p.m.
It's the first and last time such an annular eclipse will occur in 18 years, with the last similar eclipse occurring in 1994 and the next projected for 2039.
The weather is expected to be clear, calm and warm, making for perfect viewing.
Mammoth lies on the very southern edge of the best viewing area in the state—a wide swath of land that stretches from northern California near Eureka to Redding and Sacramento and then Tahoe.
The rest of California will still get a prime view of a partial eclipse on Sunday evening, with the moon blocking out 86% of the sun's diameter in Los Angeles, according to a Los Angeles Times article.
An annular eclipse is different from a total or partial eclipse, in that only an annular eclipse comes with the spectacular "ring of fire" surrounding the sun, according to the EarthSky website.
Do no look directly at this eclipse, scientists warn. Doing so could permanently damage your eyes.
Here is a website that gives clear directions about how to make a home-made viewing box, and other tips about viewing what promises to be a rare and spectacular event.
Eclipse over Mono Lake anyone? The Minaret range? The Sierra crest? Yosemite?
How much better could it get?
I saw one of these eclipses as a child, two 18-year cycles ago in the highlands of Montana. I will never, never forget the sight of the flaming white diamonds cast off from the darkened sun on that cold, cold day, the homemade viewing box, the warm car rimmed in frost packed with four siblings and my wanna-be astronomer father.
Go on.
Get out there.
Here's a "how to" site that will help you figure out how to view the eclipse. It's easy and fast to make the viewing box, or other sites suggest looking through a lacy network of leaves—anything except looking directly at the sun: http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/how.html

Red Blue Ring Octopus??
Posted 07 January 2010 - 04:50 AM
Last week we came across a Blue Ring Octopus while diving in Lembeh, the only problem was that it wasn't yellow, beige or even orange, but a deep red colour. Has anyone ever heard of a red Blue Ring before? I've been searching for an answer today, but nothing so far. I'll have to upload a screen grab tomorrow as I don't have my external HDD with me right now, but in the meantime if anyone has any info whatsoever then I'd be really interested in hearing!
Cheers, Simon

We have also had thread on the past with blue ringed octopus photos that weren't actually blue ring octos but look alikeys.
And what no photo ?
Posted 07 January 2010 - 05:46 AM
I've had the good luck of seeing a number of blue-rings working here in Lembeh. I've seen them vary from almost a creamy white to a dark red/brown. It was possible that some of these sightings were the same critter too!
As I am sure you have seen, the blue rings can blend into the creature quite easily - but make a gesture that causes a reaction and they will go electric blue.
Here are a couple:

Yes I've seen the light beige and yellow Blue Rings before and I'd heard they could go darker to an orange, but I've never heard of red before. Here's a couple of screen shots. Images were captured in natural light white balanced without lights and no adjustment in post. There is of course the possibility that the colour captured in camera is wrong, but personally I don't think it could be wrong enough to cause this colour variation. Let me know what you think...
Interestingly I also saw a Hairy Octopus a couple of weeks before with the same red colour with black 'bands' similar to the white/black banding on a mimic or wonderpus. Lembeh sure is a mind boggling place!
Hmmmm images are not linking from my Blog. I'm still travelling but I've posted them on my blog here if you want to take a look.

Shooting in ambient light underwater tends to exaggerate fluorescence, e.g. glowing red anemones, red algae in the UK, fluorescence corals etc:
The effect is further enhanced if shooting with a filter. Basically the blue colour of light at depths acts an an exciter wavelength for the fluorescence and the on camera filter acts as a barrier filter for the ambient light on reaching the camera, allowing the fluorescence to be seen.
This is why when you see a glowing red anemone (such as the one at small crack in the Red Sea) and photograph it with flash you don't get that glowing red colour you remember. If you shoot it with ambient light and a filter (usually on video) you get an even stronger red.
I believe that is why your occy looks so red. So what is really fascinating is that the blue-ring seems to have some fluorescence on it. Which octopus do not normally have. This red fluorescence is very typical of algae, suggesting to me that this octopus has algae on its skin. Which raises lots more questions...

I'll have to look back through my footage tomorrow (HDD is up in the room and Gracie's asleep so can't do it now) and double check this but I do seem to remember this Blue Ring flashing other more familiar Blue Ring colours (biege/yellow) when it got excited, but the colour that it always returned to was this deep red. It very much looked red to the eye too rather than a dark orange. This was shot in about 15m (amazingly enough Alex!) using a Magic Filter. I'd never intended to use a Magic Filter on this trip but somehow didn't pack my URPro filter for using with my screw in diopter and WA lens, so I had to hijack one of Zoe's filters and cut it up for my needs. Would that account for this red colour being captured even if it also looked red to the eye? BTW if anyone is interested using a Magic Filter at 15m was about the maximum I was able to white balance down to, so this is right at the limit here, although obviously they were never 'designed' for video. I'm trying to recall exactly but I'm fairly sure the hairy octopus I saw displaying a similar colour was not shot using a Magic Filter, but a normal URPro Filter. Hmmmm more questions than answers!
Drew that Pink Blue Ring must have been a female. No self respecting male Blue Ring would go out strutting his stuff dressed like a girl!
Thanks for all the help everyone - keep it coming if anyone has any more thoughts!

Can you remember the dive site, Simon? We were seeing a lot of BROs on Critter Hunt and Makawide2 in November and early December.
(PADI IDC Staff Instructor and former Dive Manager, KBR Lembeh Straits)
Posted 09 January 2010 - 04:31 AM
Yes we saw him at Police Pier at around 15m. If you look at the pier from the Strait then it was on the left hand side, maybe 50m or so off the pier at a guess. We dove Makawide maybe 10 times during our stay and the site was on fire, but no BROs there. This was the only one that we saw on the last dive of the last day or I'd have been right back to try to find him again! If you see him let me know and maybe think kindly of me if we can afford to stay at KBR next time we're in Lembeh

i have seen that kind of colour before here in Lembeh. They often tend to get strange colours when the dive guides flick them too much with their hand (they flick their fingers at them, to provoce the blue ringed defense reaction). The guides around here really do that very intensivly, which is not good i think ... and after a while the octo gets really dark. and sometimes also reddish like on your picture. i also saw that coloration on mating blue rings ... one of our customers filmed it with red filter and MWB ... and it looked a bit redder, than it did UW ...
but i promise you, that this is the normal blue ring here at lembeh. sometimes they take that colour.
Posted 10 January 2010 - 11:14 PM
I've just show Simon's pic to one of our critter experts, Liberty, who says he has seen BROs that colour a couple of times. Serge's explanation makes a lot of sense.

Hmmmm so yes Drew's question is the next thing to answer - is this purely pigmentation, or is there some form of fluorescence (algae or otherwise) working too? I've fired off a couple of emails to some Octi experts that I have had recommended to me so I'll see what follows and I'll post any news if I get any. Thanks for the help everyone!

A good reference on how cephelapods change color isThanks for the feedback Serge and Tim! I know what you mean about the guide hand flicks - it drove me insane when you are trying to capture natural behaviour. I wasn't with the group who first spotted this BRO so by the time I arrived that probably had happened and got the BRO all worked up, although it didn't happen after I arrived as everyone knew I didn't like it going on. It all appears plausable.

As far as I know, fluorescent pigments are not known from cephalopods. The ones in cnidaria (corals, anemone, etc.) are proteins synthesised by the animals themselves and this is fairly unique to cnidaria. I don't believe algal symbiosis is known from cephalopods either - it is known from some gastropods which ingest cnidaria (hydroids and anemones) and steal their zooxanthellae.
The fluorescent alga idea is interesting, but I'm not sure how it could work.
The best way to see if it was fluorescent would be to photograph it using filters from NightSea. Basically you put one filter each strobe which only lets short wavelength through and another filter goes over the port and only lets light with longer wavelengths than what is blocked from the strobes. The only light that reaches the sensor/film will be fluorescence.

Naples is a busy, lively city with wide avenues, narrow alleys, beautiful historical buildings and a magnificent bay.
When in Naples, you must visit Castel Nuovo. This castle was built in the 13th century and has three very distinctive dark towers, each with a different shade of grey. The towers' different colours are due to the igneous rocks of which they are built. Museo Archeologico Nazionale, which is one of the world's most important archaeological museums, and Teatro San Carlo, the second biggest theatre in Italy, are well worth a visit.
You can relax in the magnificent Bay of Naples or on the romantic island of Capri. The true charm of Naples is to be found in the narrow alleys overhung by washing, where Italian mamas lean over balconies in the hope of starting a conversation with any passer-by. These alleys are now few in number, but you will find some behind Piazza del Plebiscito.

Comments about Infiniti Jacket II:
I love this jacket. I wore it today in 30 degree weather with only a long-sleeve Craft shirt underneath and stayed plenty comfortable, if not a little warm by the end of my run. The side pockets are roomy and zip shut (handy when my running pants don't have pockets). The cozy cuffs are great when it's too warm for gloves, but too cold to have bare hands. The front pull-down reflectors are great, but I wish there was a pull-down for the back, as well.
The only real beef I have is with the media pocket. The media pocket size is fine (my Razr Maxx fits perfectly), but it is definitely not "moisture-proof." After a 3 mile run, the interior of the pocket is quite damp, and the phone is covered in my sweat. Fortunately, my phone is water resistant, so it is not affected by this.
Other than this one issue, I consider this jacket a very good purchase and would recommend it to others.

About Olbas
Olbas, The Marvelous Swiss Oil
Switzerland has many natural resources, among them the rich variety of flora that grows in the lush valleys, by the crystal clear lakes and in the pristine mountains. Given such an abundance of medicinal plants, it is not surprising that Swiss botanists and herbalists are renowned throughout the world for their skill in using natural herbal oils and essences to promote healing. Olbas is a remedy that has been carefully developed from this wealth of experience and knowledge.
It was here in Switzerland, over 100 years ago, that these herbalists and botanists developed a blend of pure essentials oils that came to be known as Olbas Oil.
The name OLBAS is an acronym for Oleum Basileum, "Oil from Basle". Basle is enviably nestled on the border of Switzerland, Germany and France in the very heart of Europe, and to this day is a center of pharmaceutical research in Switzerland.
Over the years, Olbas has found its way into the far reaches of the earth. From England to Australia, from South Africa to Sweden, Olbas has truly become an internationally favorite remedy.

Pickled Green Tomatoes
During the summer I was exploring green tomatoes and while I was researching them I came across the concept of pickled green tomatoes. I had never even heard of pickled green tomatoes before but since I really like cucumber pickles and I had recently discovered that I liked green tomatoes I just had to try making some. After a bit of searching I found this recipe for pickled green tomatoes on about.com: American Food that sounded like a good place to start. The pickled green tomatoes were super easy to make, though I did have to wait several months before I could even try them. (Hence the delay in posting until long after green tomato season.) That long wait was certainly worth it though! The pickled green tomatoes turned out really well! They are nice tangy and extra crunchy with a touch of heat and an exotic blend of spices. I made half of the pickles in wedges for snacking and I sliced the other half for use in sandwiches. What is your favorite way of enjoying pickled green tomatoes?

En Español (Spanish Version) More InDepth Information on This Condition
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Diabetes occurs when there is a higher level of glucose in the blood than is normal. Glucose comes from the breakdown of the food you eat. It travels through your body in the blood. A hormone called insulin then helps glucose move from your blood to your cells. Once glucose is in your cells, it can be used for energy. A problem making or using insulin means glucose cannot move into your cells. Instead, the glucose builds up in your blood. The build-up is called hyperglycemia.
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs or is first recognized during pregnancy. The extra glucose can affect the mother and the baby.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
It is caused by reduced sensitivity to insulin during pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes is more common in women who are 25 years and older. It is also more common in women of Hispanic, African-American, Native-American, Asian-American, Indigenous Australian, or a Pacific Islander descent.
Factors that may increase the risk of gestational diabetes include:
Also, hormones that help the baby's growth may interfere with insulin.
This condition may not cause any symptoms since women are screened for this. If symptoms do occur, they may include:
As part of prenatal screening, you will be tested for gestational diabetes. If you don't have a history of diabetes, the test will be done at 24-28 weeks of gestation. You will be given a drink that has a special glucose solution in it. The level of glucose in your blood will be measured. Other tests may be used that require fasting (not eating or drinking anything). If you are high risk for gestational diabetes or have symptoms, you will be tested earlier in the pregnancy.
The goal of treatment is to return blood glucose levels to normal. Treatment may include:
A dietitian can help you develop a healthy meal plan. Guidelines include:
Do not gain more weight during pregnancy than your doctor advises. Excess weight can increase complications in your pregnancy. It will also make it more difficult to control your diabetes.
Physical activity can make it easier for your body to use glucose. There are some precautions you may need to take or certain exercises you may need to avoid. Ask your doctor about an exercise plan.
A blood glucose monitor will help you check your glucose levels throughout the day. Knowing your glucose level will help you plan your meals, activities, and medication. Keep a record of your results. Discuss them with your doctor at your visits.
You may need to give yourself insulin injections to control diabetes. For some pregnant women, oral medication is recommended.
After delivery, glucose levels usually return to normal. Your glucose levels will be checked to make sure that you no longer have diabetes.
The following may help prevent gestational diabetes:

i believe that mutter compiz and kwin is just stupid duplication of effort. all of them are full-featured compositing WMs. there are some technical differences, but they don't outweight the lost developer energies
The regional updates code is currently not active while we figure out how to make it work with changes in upstream compiz. This is why the slowness exists at the moment.
i believe that mutter compiz and kwin is just stupid duplication of effort. all of them are full-featured compositing WMs. there are some technical differences, but they don't outweight the lost developer energies
Yes, I read his response. He speculates that the difference in performance between the version of Kwin that was tested and the one tested the prior year is possibly due to some changed configuration settings; however, he never says Kwin is faster than Mutter. Unless you have benchmarks to show otherwise, I'd have to go by what is openly published and reproducible on Phoronix. Having said that, even if, you could somehow tweak and re-configure Kwin to be faster, currently, out-of-the box performance, as you readily admit, is much slower than Mutter. This slower experience is what the majority of users are going to be exposed to.
Michael's test results are what 99% of users would experience on Mutter vs Kwin... that being Mutter (Gnome Shell) is faster than Kwin (KDE) in most gaming tasks, and is almost comparable to XFCE in speed.

The new paradigm, create a shittier product than the current one and then the next one better than the last one. End result - after a few years people will have an impression your stuff has become faster than ever when in fact it's not. Problem reaction solution. XP -> Vista-> win7, Gnome2 -> slow Unity -> great Unity (hopefully some time in the future).
...and now you know why VALVE suddenly pushed it's Linux effort to February...
I agree with this, really there are areas where different approaches gives vastly different benefits and in such cases I see no problem with different solutions, but a compositior???
Can't Weston be the standard compositor for KDE,Gnome,XFCE,Unity etc? Is there a serious technical reason for fragmenting something so functionally simple?
Why ok, first they created this mess, I have no problem with diversity, but when the most popular gnome-distribution switches to something different, a big junk of people will try that, and even worse because they are not very good at that, some people will say see linux sucks, some a bit less retarded than say, gnome sucks.
But thats the next thing. If they would at least clearly say, thats not gnome, thats something NON-gnomish that uses some gnome-dependencies it would be even better. Because now we read because unity sucks (not totaly but its not that fast and bug free than gnome-shell) that gnome sucks.
And because they set unity to default and not even give the option for a gnome-shell blend (at least that will change), most users will even if they make some bad experience give that thing chances over chances. maybe maybe they will install shortly gnome-shell, but they often than try it only a short time and give it only one change. and because you have to use it a while to understand the new conzepts they than hate that too.
Ubuntu is a big linux name damager. Because many people think that ubuntu = linux and linux-desktop = ubuntu-desktop (unity) so if they hate that. Ok you can say thats stupid but many people are like that.
Like in this thread were you could think here are more smart people, on site one someone said I switched away from gnome to xfce, he did not mean gnome-shell but unity. Technicaly he is maybe even right with that sentence. I somewhat would nearly wish that the gnome-devs would be somewhat like the mozilla guys. that you only could name something patches but only gnome-shell as gnome. not that extreme that the distries cannot patch it but unity is more like a antipatch and its bit
to the speed of gnome-shell at least with amd hardware and the opensource driver, the shell was not the bottlenegg at least till kernel 3.5, if you use gnome-shell with a older kernel, install such a kernel under ubuntu as example with the mainline kernels just download 3-4 deb files install it and reboot.
Especialy in chromium but also the desktop at whole render faster. the one thing thats not that fast at the moment is epiphany (version 3.4.1) but in the next gnome coming with ubuntu oneiric (alpha works not bad) there is also a webkit update for this browser and then he is faster too.
unity lives more years than gnome-shell they had this ubuntu netbook edition some years before even a new version of gnome was announced, and even today they are not that fast or that stable than gnome-shell. they sould now say that they cant keep up with the work of gnome. yes the hud is funny but there should be no problem to port that to gnome-shell as example as a extention or something... and then ubuntu could preinstall that under their distribution.
But now because all linux-devs are arogant trolls like icasa or linus (even in this case they are not guilty ^^) they have to stick to their thing and now that their thing is always better, because its their thing.
Last edited by blackiwid; 09-05-2012 at 05:43 AM.
Some people use every opportunity they can get to yell at Unity or Canonical.
Michael post these test results to see how Unity evolves over time in alfa and beta quality.
Strange that nobody seems to care what a lead Comipiz developer has to say about the regressions ...
Please judge Unity 6 when the final release arrives in October
But Michael puts fire into this discussion, because he says something about how unity is slower and that the alternative is xfce or something... whats wrong about gnome-shell as THE alternative. I mean performace-fetishists will maybe use that or better openbox or something like that. But the normal ubuntu-user will most likely use gnome-shell if unity is not good, but most likely he just uses unity because its default... so the first alternative would be gnome-shell not xfce, xfce is not that featurecomplete than a gnome-shell, if it where most people would used xfce in the time where gnome2 was out... that was not the case...
Its not bad, but its not the nr1 alternative.
I would rather use cinemon before I consider xfce.

POP UX! LEGO Teaches us About the Power of Near-Perfect User Experience
Growing up, I could burn through an entire day playing with "Legos." It was as if building the baddest spaceships, tanks, cars, and fortresses filled a void I didn't even know was there. I remember being about seven or eight and telling my mom that I'd never get into drinking or drugs in high school because my friends and I would still be "building Legos."
That ended up being totally true-ish. I've still got LEGO on the brain. Reading articles on branding and user interface, I often think of the deeply familiar and user-friendly experience building with them can be.
As I dig into new sets with my kids, it's remarkable to me how steadfastly LEGO maintains the upper hand in the face of numerous licensing agreements with other pop culture juggernauts.
After the holidays, as I was putting together the 717 pieces that make up Jabba's Palace, the simple tasks of mining the collection for the right bricks and clicking them together, again and again, resonated deeply on an emotional level. Plugging Jabba's head into his body was a LEGO thrill, not a Star Wars jolt.
LEGO sells sets reimagining the official worlds of Marvel, DC, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Harry Potter, Toy Story, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Hobbit, and even Frank Lloyd Wright. I've built in almost every new genre, and each time it's LEGO that defines the experience.
I watch my kids free-build from two random nylon boxes swollen with loose pieces, and love that they don't see a reason for keeping sets segregated. Luke's head looks cool on Leonardo's body, and the hybrid Mini Figure can fly what remains of the Batwing. No matter what logos you paint on them or how you stack them, they always look, perform, and feel like a LEGO.
Like the very best user experiences, playing with LEGO toys is familiar and rewarding. Plenty of people also crave the experience, which is not surprising when you examine the interface.
The LEGO system is easy to learn to use and offers consistent and memorable results. Like Ikea furniture, you can follow wordless instructions and build exactly what's pictured on the box. You can also break everything apart and build something completely original using pieces pressed this year along with faded red and blue bricks from the '70s.
The Danish toy-makers have been at it for over 100 years (though they've only been making plastic bricks since the late 1940s), so they've had plenty of time to fine-tune (and burrow into our shared consciousness). Still, what they get right is the golden acorn: easy to use and useful by design, LEGO offers a near-perfect user experience. That their presence has a tactile familiarity that trumps any brand they associate with is equally impressive from a marketing perspective.
What can user-centered designers take away from all of this? Is there value in a digital interface that takes the basic elements at-hand and configures new ways to produce rapid, rewarding results that seem limitless, or is that a messy pile of bricks? What marketing lessons are there? If you create amazingly fluid and effective software, will it automatically imbue a brand with its core traits (for better or worse)?
Have you had similar ponderings on LEGO or other childhood playthings? Tell us all about them.
Add new comment
The only UX detractor for LEGO bricks? The are really good at inflicting pain on unsuspecting feet. Good article by the way. LEGO is surprisingly timeless.
Regarding your question " Is there value in a digital interface that takes the basic elements at-hand and configures new ways to produce rapid, rewarding results that seem limitless?" I would point to a clearly successful example - Minecraft.
@Josh - 'Legos', specifically, is an Americanism, as well as a colloquialism. The standard vernacular is simply 'Lego', with the correct phrasing being 'LEGO bricks'.
Ex LEGO employee, btw :)
Growing up I enjoyed playing with Logo, part of the reason was because I was easily able to build my imagination into a "wow moment" for my parents and friends- very rewarding.
Thanks for bringing this topic up! As an avid fan and user of LEGO as a kid in the '70s and as a dad in '10s, I always enjoy creating with the bricks. I like your thinking about LEGO as the perfect user experience. I'd go even further to say they are very inspirational for a web designer. I see a 1x1 brick as a pixel. I build websites with pixels like I build models with LEGO.
I used to play with legos when I was a kid also... Maybe it's time to open that old box again. :)
I actually have a LEGO brick tattoed on my wrist. Got it when I was finishing my degree in Architecture 5 years ago, and now in the UX/IxD world I am always learning more about it as a symbol.
Great insight! I think Legos are a great analogy for the current design and UX trends --- simple, colorful, and (perceived) familiarity.
p.s. I think it's spelled "perfect" ;)
Interesting read!
Incidentally Lego the company has been around 100+ years, but the bricks haven't. Also, the plural of Lego is Lego :)

Pediatric Neurology reviews in Elk River
Dr. was the fifth neurologist we had seen in seven years. As a teenager my daughter was very frustrated that her neurologists didn't speak to her directly and would dismiss her symptoms or side-effects. Dr. has listened patiently to my daughter, has not pushed new medications on her, has advocated for her with both the epilepsy and neuro-oncology folks at Children's, and has worked with my daughter on alternative ways to manage her symptoms. She has taken time to explain scans and tests to my daughter and myself that other doctors skimmed over or didn't address fully. She has written letters for us for us to schools and has made coordinating care for my daughter so much nicer.
Her bedside manor is wonderful (a very hard quality to find in a neurologist)! I will be very sad when my daughter ages out of the children's system and we have to find an adult neurologist- Dr. will be a hard act to follow."

For snarky liberal pundits like me, the Republican Party's peculiar penchant for coming up with zany candidates for high office is a gift that keeps on giving.
Take, for example, the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor of Virginia, a right-wing clergyman named E.W. Jackson, whom I had fun mocking just a few weeks ago (see HERE). This guy's every utterance is crazier than the one before.
In a book Jackson wrote a few years ago (notice the glaring misspelling on the cover above), he says the theory of evolution is disproved by the fact that chimpanzees can't talk.

Jan 17, 2013Ultimate cinematic perfection ! this film is the symbol of life and love. Not only is it beautifully crafted but the acting is impeccable highlighting the honest and true nature of the screenplay, in my eyes film can get no better .
Haneke is the best director of 2012 and produced the best film too. -

Feb 9, 2013Old age is tough and takes a lot of strength to deal with. And when the time comes and the natural decline sets in, love will help guide the toughest path ahead. Haneke has created a number of exceptional thrillers but none so horrific as Amour, his true masterpiece.
Jan 14, 2013Amour is a masterpiece! Hanake portrays love at its most beautiful and brutal. Some of the scenes are so distressing, yet stunning. The Art direction and cinematography are visually sensational! and the acting from Emmanuelle Riva, is next to non, one of the greatest performances I have seen! Best film of 2012 and is possibly my favourite film of the last 10 years.

Feb 8, 2013The movie is boring, for some, because it is not for everyone, or all ages, the movie is highly disturbing, and interesting. it focuses on weak people, who can't handle an accident, although it is terrible, but LOVE of coarse, will connect everything, NOT IN THIS MOVIE!!
Feb 2, 2013Amour is certainly not the worse film of the year. It is without a doubt the most boring. There are too many slow, silent and flat out wasteful scenes taking forever to complete. The worse part was all the times throughout the film were literally nothing is happening. This just sucks the emotion out of the entire movie.

Dec 20, 2012Is the most intense and powerful movie that I ever watched. Never someone touched a scar like this before, Haneke as usual, torture the viewers with his perspective of the world. It's also the best movie of the year.
Feb 4, 2013This movie is quite drawn-out and boring. The story being told provides you no reason to care about either of the main characters or to relate in any way to them. Not worth the two hours.
Aug 28, 2013What a sad movie! Gets you wondering how will you get old. This kind of non-hollywoodian film can be oustanding some times, but here that's not the case, in my humble opinion. Go for The Intouchables.

Jan 6, 2014Amour is definitely a story that shows the reality when you are facing the inevitable death, a hard story where the decisions of the love of your life are the backbone of your future on earth.
Amour definitely go down in history as one of the rawest films, where Emmanuelle Riva definitely made the best performance of the year. Sorry Jennifer Lawrence, the Oscar but I gave it away. -

Sep 1, 2014A dark and poignant look at love - strengthened by its writing and performance from Emmanuelle Riva. Amour is one of the French films that distracts you from your life.
Apr 10, 2013
Feb 22, 2013'Amour' is a tough one. On the one hand, 'Amour' is beautifully acted (particularly Emmanuelle Riva), impeccably directed, and wonderfully crafted and written. On the other hand, in terms of entertainment, its slow, it drags, and it's by no means an exciting topic. But, all of that is drowned out by 'Amour's' true beauty. Describing it in a few words? Devastatingly beautiful.
Nov 26, 2013
Aug 21, 2013This beautifully-handled, deeply devastating work is all about the most human issue of all: inevitably and collectively, we're all food for worms. Won an Oscar in 2013 for Best Foreign Language Film of the year.
Mar 11, 2013In my opinion its not a best picture contender, but Amour still brings a very strong plot and a direction that wil go down in history as one of the best ever.
Mar 2, 2013haneke's "white ribbon" was magnificent. deserved every accolade. 'amour', mais non. emmanuelle riva, oui. very, very overrated film, especially in comparison the haneke's earlier work. pretty much a big yawn.
Feb 11, 2013
Feb 13, 2013Amour is a formal masterpiece, which is not to say it isn't also a transporting cinematic experience. The characters are beautifully drawn and create empathy in the audience without resorting to banal cliches. Brilliant.
Feb 27, 2013
Mar 19, 2013This is an outstandingly moving film, drawing on the insatiable taboo of mental health. The acting is sharp, clever and, above all, very convincing. Without question clutching at the heart strings, this frightfully stark and expressive film will leave even the hardest of minds in a pensive mood, at the very least.
Jun 2, 2013In a year when two of the most critically acclaimed films were revisionist propaganda (lies) produced by the CIA, it is reassuring that at least some filmmakers are still dedicated to telling the truth. There isn't a false note in "Amour." It's not an easy film to watch, but at least it is an honest one.
Jul 3, 2013The story is so masterfully told, it's not even funny. It's heartbreaking, depressing, beautiful and lovely. It's told in the most stylish of ways and it's just masterful. Its beautifully crafted, and radiantly acted.
Jun 18, 2013This is Perfection Heartbreaking story about love
Haneke is a genius his work is Masterful and poignant Trintignant and Riva were out of this world what a performances a stunning work
Words cannot describe my passion about this Masterpiece you must watch it to feel the intensity os this magnificent and sad story -

Amour is a far cry from the warm-and-fuzzy version of love that most people are probably looking for on Valentine's Day. This movie is more of a slap than a hug. But reality hurts sometimes - just like love does.
The superb Trintignant and the Oscar-nominated Riva – who would win, in a just world – embody once-vigorous people in inevitable decline. Yet as another critic has said, the film is sad without being depressing.
With Amour, it's the rare feeling of watching a masterpiece unfold.

But how do you stop the round monsters? Grates?
This is why you never flush your pet alligator down the toilet.
it's to prevent the covers from falling in, in case anyone was wondering
o god the square shaped monster!!!!1
But will they stop octagonal monsters is the question?
Obviously that round Manhole cover is NOT going to stop the carnage! That tentacled arm is poised to drag the next unexpecting human to his DEMISE. Muahahahahahaha
Well, at least this shows prospective employers that you're creative!
They're round so they can never fall through the hole they're supposed to cover.
Love the monster face...very Kingdom of Loathing(in the teeth), but without anyone loathing. The tentacle does kind of worry me, but if it's coming off my shirt, it'll be on my side, right?
Why are manhole covers round? F'in miracles!
How did those square-shaped monsters even get into the sewer in the first place?
Actually, my first thought when I saw this shirt was Pendants of Life.
Whooo, I wasn't expecting this one to be first but I'm happy to see it here! Good job CMDixon.
I'm so happy this printed! So so happy! I always wanted my own cmdixon manhole! ;) lol
zerrick wrote:They're round so they can never fall through the hole they're supposed to cover.
Well, ya see, not everyone knows that!! Hence the shirt. With the job market SO bad, every little bit helps (and I mean both answer to the question and those cute little square monsters taking out some opponents).
This shirt is absolutely grate! (Where's my pun award?)
Wow, it's like Thwomp from the Super Mario series had a baby with Cthuhlu. So it could drive you mad... Then squish you. Awesome good job. Buying one if it's still around in the morning. *Fingers crossed*
I think that all manhole covers should have trivia facts on them.
This shirt is teh awesomeness. I am so glad I wasn't forced to go through with my pledge to boycott Shirt.Woot if this shirt didn't make it through. The fact that it won = bonus! :D
Actually it's because round tubes are structurally more sound and because they are more material efficient.
Omelets made great! THIS?? THIS!!!! XD~!~~~~~~~1!!1!!! Down for two. One for me and one for the man. I will be so happy to have this manhole on my chest...now with extra tentacle! Congrats, CMDixon!

lol I thought the same thing!
Oxirane wrote:How did those square-shaped monsters even get into the sewer in the first place?
Didn't you know?! Square-shaped, ravenous monsters are the direct result of flushing many of life's aquatic friends (such as the goldfish) down the toilet. Simultaneously, someone somewhere is flushing prescription medication, illegal drugs, biohazardous materials down the toilet as well.. then Bada bing, bada boom.. a monster is created (which is then cut into a square by the monster chef that lives in the sewer). I heard his 401k is awesome.
Squares may be scary, but I'm more afraid of his triangle teeth.
HA! Excellent comment, woot. Geniuses, I swear.
This shirt is wonderful. Congrats on a well deserved print!
I got asked this in a job interview 13 years ago... thankfully haven't seen it since; that company replaced it a few years later with "why do clocks run clockwise?" which wasn't much better...
So glad I was not the only one who thought this. I saw the design and thought "...a Legends of the Hidden Temple shirt? Cool."
There is more than one answer. One of the most likely reasons is because they need to easily be lifted up and dropped by those using them, and round ones don't have to be rotated to fit. They always fit. Square manhole covers would require rotating until the corners match.
They should have put one of those on the Bottom of the Well in Kakariko. Might have prevented the escape of Bongo Bongo.
Wow, a little surprised to get 1st! Despite the creepy tentacles and razor sharp teeth I'm sure the monster itself is cute and harmless in real life. It can't help its unfortunate shape. Thanks everyone for the votes and comments! I hope you enjoy my manhole. ;)
Congrats on the print Chris! In for one. What would your theme song be, and why?
Awesome design, well deserved 1st place!
I'm in for two! I voted for you cmdixon, and glad to see you won.
cmdixon2, I love your shirts! This is my fourth one of yours, keep up the good work buddy! The detail on the edge of the manhole makes this shirt awesome. The manhole itself is cool, but the cracks in the asphalt just make this shirt. Gotta have it!
To evenly distribute the weight of cars driving over them.
First off, great art, very detailed! That being said, I don't see how it fits the theme, and what is perhaps infinitely worse, you gave the square monster long reachy tentacles. It doesn't have to leave the sewers. It can remove the man hole cover, and pull curious passer-bys in without leaving the comfort of it's own home. Kinda like pizza delivery for a Ninja Turtles reference.

Square holes! Duh! Everyone knows monsters are always attracted to holes they can't possibly fit through.

It's a relatively famous job interview question used by Microsoft. (Among others, probably.)

Dodgers, D-backs return to 'pool party' scene
McCarthy faces Ryu in first Arizona meeting since LA's title celebration
The Dodgers and D-backs opened the season Down Under, and now they are back in downtown Phoenix on familiar ground.
Let the games begin.
The D-backs will send Brandon McCarthy to the mound Friday in the first of three games against their National League West rival. The Dodgers will counter with Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Anything can happen when these two teams get together.
This is what we know: The Dodgers clinched the NL West title and celebrated in the pool beyond right field when they last set foot on Chase Field in September. The D-backs' most recent memories at home are just as forgettable.
Arizona won its home opener against San Francisco before dropping the next two games against the Giants. The road trip that followed was not kind to the D-backs, and now they sit in fourth place in the NL West.
What's more, the Dodgers defeated the D-backs twice in Australia in the Opening Series.
Will this be the series that propels the Dodgers back to the top of the division, or will it be the set that gets the D-backs back on track?
Ryu is coming off a rough outing that saw him give up six runs on eight hits in two-inning start against the Giants. He shut down the D-backs, allowing only two hits in five scoreless innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the second game of the season.
As for McCarthy, it's been an interesting -- and frustrating -- start to the season. The right-handed veteran is healthy and strong but has run into some bad luck. He pitched well and showed good velocity through six innings against the Giants before unraveling in his season debut. He seemed to be cruising in his next start in Colorado before the Rockies broke it open in the fourth and fifth innings.
"I just kind of lost feel," McCarthy said. "I stopped executing pitches the way I had been. I really don't know what happened. I just sort of lost feel for my sinker and started to really struggle with that command-wise."
The D-backs need McCarthy to deliver because they can't afford to have another short outing from one of their starters. Wade Miley, who is scheduled to Saturday, has pitched like an ace this season and has led his team to its first two wins. He'll face Zack Greinke.
Dodgers: Injured Wilson continues making progress
Right-handed reliever Brian Wilson, who's had two rehab outings, threw 20 pitches in live BP to teammates Justin Turner and Chone Figgins on Wednesday.
"The ball came out good," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We'll see how he comes out of that."
Wilson was placed on the disabled list because of right ulnar nerve inflammation.
Mattingly said Wilson should come back on or shortly after he's eligible to return Tuesday if he doesn't have any setbacks.
D-backs: Collmenter may be next in line if rotation changes
Last weekend, GM Kevin Towers mentioned Bo Schultz, Archie Bradley and Mike Bolsinger as possible starting candidates should the team dip into the Minor Leagues for help this year.
For now, though, the first choice appears to be long man Josh Collmenter if the team makes a change in the starting rotation.
"Personally, I'd like to see the guys in the Minor Leagues, I'd like to see them throw another time or two down there and establish certain things," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "It's a lot different up here. It just really is. There are so many other elements of the game."
Worth noting
• D-backs left fielder Mark Trumbo has five homers and 13 RBIs through the first 12 games of the season.
• Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was out of the starting lineup for the third consecutive game Wednesday, but he was able to take batting practice with a splint on his thumb. He injured his left thumb sliding into first base in Saturday's game.
• The D-backs posted a 10-9 record against the Dodgers last season but were outscored, 83-77.

This is described as a platform bed, and it says "The wood slats eliminate the need for a box spring". This is completely wrong. It has 3 small slats that will not support a mattress no matter how you arrange them. Because of this description I ordered my sleep number mattress-only, threw out my old ragged IKEA bed this morning and then assembled the new one as soon as it arrived. The mattress falls through the slats no matter how I arrange it, leaving me without a bed until I can find a way around it. Completely misleading, and now its going to waste a lot of my time and money to fix. This is my first time ever buying a bed so I did a lot of research. Infuriating when the products aren't as described. Not good for a first time Overstock customer.
As stated in an earlier comment, the bed comes with three slats that are only 2" wide, hardly enough to support a mattress without a box spring. Be prepared to cut your own in order to make it work with a mattress alone. Once you have built the deck, the mattress will not extend high enough to reach the bottom of the headboard so there will be a gap where your pillows will fall through during your rest. I am going to purchase a box spring so all is looks proportional and functions as it should. Be very careful assembling it as the faux leather is very delicate and marks and tears easy. All said and done, it's a nice looking, masculine bed if you are up for modifying the deck or have a complete mattress set.
As others have said, this bed comes with almost NO SUPPORT for the mattress. 3 small wooden slats that cannot properly support a mattress. So be prepared to add more wooden slats to it. Even after doing that, there is a huge gap under the headboard and pillows fall under as you sleep. The mattress rests directly on the slats so there is no support. Bed broke after 3 months... I am now shopping for a new bed... don't waste your money, you're better off getting a $100 Ikea bed frame.
Great bed. A bit of a hassle getting it togeather. Does need a boxspring, still very happy with it.
The bed is a little more flimsy than I was expecting. We had to buy extra Slats, but we expected that having read the reviews. Make sure you buy a thick mattress as there is a big gap between the bottom of the bed and the headboard. The bed wasn't too hard to put together. It looks good in our spare room. Delivery was within stated dates.
The bed's supporting structure fell apart as soon as the mattress was placed on it. The wood is very poor quality and the instructions were pictures only which was very frustrating. My boyfriend spent an extra $100 in lumber to create a supporting platform and needed 6 2x4's to ensure stability. We were incredibly disappointed.
we read the reviews and the product matched what we expected. good solid bed. firm. thick.
