ItŌĆÖs that time again! With the cops coming off a recent win with the Coleville High School boysŌĆÖ basketball team, the Cops vs Kids game is back! Who will be victorious this time?
On Saturday, April 12, at 5 p.m., join the Mono County SheriffŌĆÖs Office and the California Highway Patrol as deputies and officers take on the Lee Vining High School boysŌĆÖ basketball team. ThatŌĆÖs right! ItŌĆÖs another ŌĆ£cops versus kidsŌĆØ in a friendly competition to raise money for the Lee Vining High School Booster Club.
Mono and Inyo are eligible for State of Nevada Disaster Designation as California Contiguous Counties
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has granted disaster designation for certain counties in the Nevada, also including Inyo and Mono Countiea. This provides nearly automatic approval for assistance in counties that meet the required drought intensity levels.
The recovery of the endangered Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep took one more step forward last month with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's second reintroduction effort since 1986.
In late March, they translocated 14 bighorn to a remote part of Sequoia National Park, which has been devoid of bighorn since the early 20th century.
"It was such a huge milestone to get these [bighorn] sheep into the Kern," said biologist Tom Stephenson, program leader for the Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep Recovery Program.
About the only place around that isn't in a drought is the hottest, driest place in the countryŌĆöDeath Valley National Park, where the wildflowers are turning out quite a show. Rainfall in the higher elevationsŌĆöespecially in the Panamint MountainsŌĆöare allowing a late spring bloom, and it may only get better and higher up as the temperatures warm. Although the bloom isn't one of the park's epic and infrequent blooms, it's still a very good show, according to the park.
Here's where to go:

On the same day computers across America froze because of the deadline to sign up for the federal Affordable Care Act, computers at Mammoth Mountain froze during a surprise cash/credit giveaway to MVP Passholders.
"Despite our upgrades to the system, traffic to the website completely overloaded our increased capacity," said Joani Lynch, the ski area's communications director.
"By 8:30 a.m. we had a 10-fold increase over our largest web traffic in history."
The new edition of the Mammoth Times is on the racks and in the mail, with our reporters roaming all over the place, covering all kinds of events and issues.
The paper offers, in our opinion, a rich potpourri of advertising and content, starting with the front page.
Alongside the Eastern Sierra, state wildlife officials have been engaged in their further efforts to protect our bighorn sheep population. And get a load of that picture: a bighorn ram being airlifted to its natural habitat.
Despite appearances in the aftermath of the last three snowstorms, the Eastern Sierra is still in its second driest winter on record after the last snow survey of the winter came in at a paltry 18.3 inches of water content, or roughly 18 feet of snow since the winter began.
That comes out to be about 42 percent of normal.
Only the winter of 1976-77 was drier, with about 10 inches of water content.
ItŌĆÖs time for the annual Mammoth High School Associated Student Body ŌĆ£Mock Rock, Talent, and Visual Arts showŌĆØ next Tuesday, April 8 at 6 p.m. at the Mammoth High School Multi-Purpose Room.

This fun-filled evening will highlight the high schoolŌĆÖs creative and artistic talent.
An entrance donation of $5 is appreciated, but not necessary. Come out for a great night of family fun and support our Mammoth students!
The Mammoth Community Water District will be doing some construction this summer in an effort to replace aging water mains, thereby preventing leaks and saving water. The construction will occur in several Mammoth neighborhoods and is scheduled to start May 1 in the Majestic Pines neighborhoods, where the MCWD construction crew will be continuing to replace water service laterals. Construction should be completed in the Majestic Pines neighborhood around the end of July.
The Sierra Conservation Project, Inc. (SCP) and Town of Mammoth Lakes are pleased to announce the expansion of the current condominium, commercial and recreational area recycling programs in the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
A Mammoth man was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk after he led police on a high speed chase through Mammoth last Thursday, then had to be pepper sprayed before he could be arrested.
According to the Mono County SheriffŌĆÖs department, the office first received a call from an employee at the McDonaldŌĆÖs in Mammoth Lakes on Thursday, March 27 at about 8:20 p.m. reporting a possible drunk driver in their drive thru.
Neither a low snow year nor a three-year drought is going to hold back Mammoth Mountain from being mammoth this spring.
Blessed by very late snowfalls in March and with more snow in the forecast for April, the ski hill announced last week that it would commit to stay open at least through the Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26.
In response to reduced visitation and revenues to fund the local transit service, the trolley in Mammoth will operate a reduced schedule (35-minute frequency from 5:40 p.m. ŌĆō 10 p.m.) Sunday through Thursday beginning April 6. The trolley will continue to operate 20-minute frequency from 5:40 p.m. until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights through Saturday, April 19. Beginning April 20, the Trolley will operate a 35-minute frequency from 5:40 p.m. until 10 p.m., seven nights per week.
The U.S. Forest Service is postponing a series of public meetings scheduled for forest plan revisions on the Sierra, Sequoia and Inyo National Forests. These meetings were originally scheduled for April 7, 8 and 10.
The meeting for the Inyo National Forest was scheduled for April 10.
The Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement, which was previously scheduled to be published in early April, will be postponed as well. The Notice of Intent marks the beginning of the National Environmental Policy Act process.
The popular talks at the Green Church sponsored by the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory (SNARL) begin soon. They are free, they are always fascinating ŌĆö extreme weather and drought, the Rim Fire, the Yosemite snowpack ŌĆö and besides, a lot of your friends will come out of the end-of-winter-woodwork too.
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday evenings Where: at the Green Church (Hwy. 395 and Benton Crossing Rd.). What: Admission is free and the public is invited. Not suited for young children. Lectures last approximately one hour.
Here's the schedule:
Drunk in public A 23-year-old Mammoth man who refused to leave The Underground bar because he was involved in a fight with other patrons later was suspected of throwing rocks toward police officers and was arrested on March 22. He was charged with being drunk in public and for throwing the rocks.
Petty theft
Two winter storms capable of dropping at least one and a half feet of snow are forecast to hit the Eastern Sierra in the next few days, with the first one coming in Saturday afternoon and lasting into Sunday and the second one coming in Monday and lasting into Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The first storm is considered by the NWS to be the most reliable in terms of snow levels and amountsŌĆöabout one and half feet of snow above 9,000 feetŌĆöwith the second storm forecast to come in with slightly less snow at this time.
A large golden eagle was brought into the Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care facility nestled at the base of the Sierra foothills a few weeks ago, unable to walk and riddled with parasites.
It's early morning, but the center's director, Cindy Kamler, has been up for hours, hoping against the grim outcome for this bird that her vast experience tells her is likely, given the eagle's injuries.
Another storm will take aim at the Eastern Sierra this coming weekend and another early next week, putting an end to unseasonably warm and dry March and dumping as much as ŌĆ£a few feetŌĆØ of snow on the Sierra crest by the time April rolls in next Tuesday.
Although the most recent storm Wednesday and Thursday came in a bit lighter than forecast, the next storm coming in on Saturday is forecast to be stronger than earlier forecasts had indicated and the last storm, on Monday, even larger, according to Howard Sheckter, MammothŌĆÖs amateur weather forecaster.

Floor Polisher Parts
If you have wooden floors then it is mandatory that you invest in a good floor polisher. Though the wooden floors give the rooms a warm and golden tone, taking care of them can be tricky if you're not very careful. Wooden floors can be easily scratched, excess moisture and chemicals can damage the wood. Here we look at how to use a floor polisher on a wooden floor.
How to use Floor Polisher on Wooden Floors
•Clean the floor with a soft brushed broom or a vacuum cleaner before using the floor polisher.
•Ensure that the pad of the floor polisher is clean and sparkling. Buff the floor with the pad from one corner to another until the entire room is covered.
•You can either use a floor wax or make a all natural floor polish at home. In a double boiler heat 2 cups of mineral oil and 1 tbsp beeswax. Once they are melted drizzle the mixture evenly over the floor.
•Slide a new pad into the floor polisher. Slowly move the floor polisher from the back of the room to the front in gentle motions. The slow and gentle motion of the floor polisher over the polish will bring a glow and sparkle to the floor.
If you are planning to invest in a good floor polisher look no further than GoVacuum.com. Here we deal with only the top most brands such as Bissell, Bosch, Carpet, Dyson and so on. The floor polisher replacements such as pads, shower feed brush, roller brush are available with us. GoVacuum.com is a one stop for all your cleaning solutions.

text: 110 min | PG13 As with GREASE (1978) and FOOTLOOSE (1984) before it, DIRTY DANCING became a cultural phenomenon in 1987. In the summer of 1963, innocent and pampered 17 year old Frances "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey) vacations with her parents at a Catskills resort. One evening she is drawn to the staff quarters by stirring music and meets the handsome hotel dance instructor, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). Over the course of the summer these two individuals from different walks of life find a way to fall in love. DIRTY DANCING was a surprise box office hit and earned a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1988.

What is diabetes insipidus?
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare disease that causes frequent urination. The large volume of urine is diluted, mostly water. To make up for lost water, a person with DI may feel the need to drink large amounts and is likely to urinate frequently, even at night, which can disrupt sleep and, on occasion, cause bedwetting. Because of the excretion of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine, people with DI may quickly become dehydrated if they do not drink enough water. Children with DI may be irritable or listless and may have fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. Milder forms of DI can be managed by drinking enough water, usually between 2 and 2.5 liters a day. DI severe enough to endanger a person's health is rare.
What is the difference between diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus?
DI should not be confused with diabetes mellitus (DM), which results from insulin deficiency or resistance leading to high blood glucose, also called blood sugar. DI and DM are unrelated, although they can have similar signs and symptoms, like excessive thirst and excessive urination.
DM is far more common than DI and receives more news coverage. DM has two main forms, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. DI is a different form of illness altogether.
How is fluid in the body normally regulated?
The body has a complex system for balancing the volume and composition of body fluids. The kidneys remove extra body fluids from the bloodstream. These fluids are stored in the bladder as urine. If the fluid regulation system is working properly, the kidneys make less urine to conserve fluid when water intake is decreased or water is lost, for example, through sweating or diarrhea. The kidneys also make less urine at night when the body's metabolic processes are slower.
To keep the volume and composition of body fluids balanced, the rate of fluid intake is governed by thirst, and the rate of excretion is governed by the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin. This hormone is made in the hypothalamus, a small gland located in the brain. ADH is stored in the nearby pituitary gland and released into the bloodstream when necessary. When ADH reaches the kidneys, it directs them to concentrate the urine by reabsorbing some of the filtered water to the bloodstream and therefore make less urine. DI occurs when this precise system for regulating the kidneys' handling of fluids is disrupted.
What are the types of diabetes insipidus?
Central DI
The most common form of serious DI, central DI, results from damage to the pituitary gland, which disrupts the normal storage and release of ADH. Damage to the pituitary gland can be caused by different diseases as well as by head injuries, neurosurgery, or genetic disorders. To treat the ADH deficiency that results from any kind of damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary, a synthetic hormone called desmopressin can be taken by an injection, a nasal spray, or a pill. While taking desmopressin, a person should drink fluids only when thirsty and not at other times. The drug prevents water excretion, and water can build up now that the kidneys are making less urine and are less responsive to changes in body fluids.
Nephrogenic DI
Nephrogenic DI results when the kidneys are unable to respond to ADH. The kidneys' ability to respond to ADH can be impaired by drugs—like lithium, for example—and by chronic disorders including polycystic kidney disease, sickle cell disease, kidney failure, partial blockage of the ureters, and inherited genetic disorders. Sometimes the cause of nephrogenic DI is never discovered.
Desmopressin will not work for this form of DI. Instead, a person with nephrogenic DI may be given hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) or indomethacin. HCTZ is sometimes combined with another drug called amiloride. The combination of HCTZ and amiloride is sold under the brand name Moduretic. Again, with this combination of drugs, one should drink fluids only when thirsty and not at other times.
Dipsogenic DI
Dipsogenic DI is caused by a defect in or damage to the thirst mechanism, which is located in the hypothalamus. This defect results in an abnormal increase in thirst and fluid intake that suppresses ADH secretion and increases urine output. Desmopressin or other drugs should not be used to treat dipsogenic DI because they may decrease urine output but not thirst and fluid intake. This fluid overload can lead to water intoxication, a condition that lowers the concentration of sodium in the blood and can seriously damage the brain. Scientists have not yet found an effective treatment for dipsogenic DI.
Gestational DI
Gestational DI occurs only during pregnancy and results when an enzyme made by the placenta destroys ADH in the mother. The placenta is the system of blood vessels and other tissue that develops with the fetus. The placenta allows exchange of nutrients and waste products between mother and fetus.
Most cases of gestational DI can be treated with desmopressin. In rare cases, however, an abnormality in the thirst mechanism causes gestational DI, and desmopressin should not be used.
How is diabetes insipidus diagnosed?
Because DM is more common and because DM and DI have similar symptoms, a health care provider may suspect that a patient with DI has DM. But testing should make the diagnosis clear.
A doctor must determine which type of DI is involved before proper treatment can begin. Diagnosis is based on a series of tests, including urinalysis and a fluid deprivation test.
Urinalysis is the physical and chemical examination of urine. The urine of a person with DI will be less concentrated. Therefore, the salt and waste concentrations are low and the amount of water excreted is high. A physician evaluates the concentration of urine by measuring how many particles are in a kilogram of water or by comparing the weight of the urine with an equal volume of distilled water.
A fluid deprivation test helps determine whether DI is caused by one of the following:
- excessive intake of fluid
- a defect in ADH production
- a defect in the kidneys' response to ADH
This test measures changes in body weight, urine output, and urine composition when fluids are withheld. Sometimes measuring blood levels of ADH during this test is also necessary.
In some patients, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain may be necessary as well.
Points to Remember
- Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare disease that causes frequent urination and excessive thirst.
- DI is not related to diabetes mellitus (DM).
- Central DI is caused by damage to the pituitary gland and is treated with a synthetic hormone called desmopressin, which prevents water excretion.
- Nephrogenic DI is caused by drugs or kidney disease and is treated with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), indomethacin, or a combination of HCTZ and amiloride.
- Scientists have not yet discovered an effective treatment for dipsogenic DI, which is caused by a defect in the thirst mechanism.
- Most forms of gestational DI can be treated with desmopressin.
- A doctor must determine which type of DI is involved before proper treatment can begin.
Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports research into many kinds of kidney disease, including diabetes insipidus. NIDDK-supported researchers are exploring the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control fluid regulation in the body. These studies will point the way to more effective treatments for DI.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

text: A Field of Schemes by Letitia James, Jan 19, 2004 Twitter In This Series: • Netting the Nets by Marty Markowitz • Cheerleaders for Real Estate? by Tom Angotti Recently New York developer Bruce Ratner announced plans to build a 20,000 seat basketball stadium and 17 skyscrapers in Brooklyn's Prospect Heights. This project depends on Ratner placing the winning bid for the New Jersey Nets. However, it also depends on the condemnation of over 1,000 homes and businesses in Prospect Heights and a risky financing system that is full of false hope. While bringing the Nets to Brooklyn may sound like an intriguing idea, it has troubling fiscal, social, and economic implications for New York City as a whole. THE MYTH OF JOBS, RECREATION, AND HOUSING Typically, backers of a new stadium promise it will bring jobs, jobs and more, jobs. Supporters of this stadium project have been hypnotized by similar claims. The reality is that Yankee stadium at 57,000 seats, which is double the size of the proposed stadium in Brooklyn, only offers 65 full-time positions. Any claim that this proposed stadium would provide for significant and permanent employment is a pipe dream. Other supporters argue that local schools and other not-for-profit organizations will use the proposed stadium for their recreational events. I respond that there are a number of proposed capital projects to renovate armories and other buildings in Brooklyn into recreational facilities. These facilities, however, do not involve the condemnation of homes and or divert public dollars for private purposes. The developer also claims that the 17 skyscrapers in his second phase will create 4,500 to 5,500 new apartments. That claim is the biggest joke of all. Organizations involved with affordable housing do not build high-rise apartment buildings anymore. They realize that people want housing on a human scale where children can play in a yard and neighbors can look out for each other. Furthermore, the total cost for the purchase and construction of this project will in all likelihood make housing so costly, that most working families will not be in a position to afford to live there. DISPLACING PEOPLE, CREATING TRAFFIC The developer also plans to use eminent domain - the power to take private property for public use - to evict entire families and businesses for his project. Approximately 1,000 men, women and children would be displaced if the stadium plans go through (we know the number because we counted - door to door). In addition to families being removed, blocks may be closed to accommodate the stadium separating Fort Greene and Clinton Hill from the Prospect Heights community. The junction of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues is currently congested with traffic, and adding a stadium and 17 skyscrapers would only serve to worsen traffic conditions in a dense residential community. The massive influx of automobile traffic would tie up a main artery and create the biggest parking lot in the heart of downtown Brooklyn. Imagine 23,000 more cars - that's nearly 1,000 more an hour - and many more children with asthma. FINANCING THE FUTURE AWAY The biggest gamble in all of this is the method of financing the stadium. Recently, Ratner claimed that all he wanted in exchange for this project is for New York City to kick back some of the sales and income taxes to pay off loans that he had to borrow for the project. It was reported that the total bill for the stadium and surrounding commercial, office and residential development is being estimated at $2.5 billion (not including the $300 million that he would pay for the Nets). This project will rely upon the use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF). Tax Increment Financing is one of the fastest growing development subsidies in the country, and it diverts future property, sales and income taxes in a designated district until a developer can pay off the costs of the project. It is just another name for corporate welfare. Bruce Ratner's past is prologue to his future. His Atlantic Center Mall, which is directly across the street from the proposed stadium, is shrouded in a cloud of controversy. It has not resulted in any appreciable benefits to the community and has a 23-year property tax abatement with a disastrous private commercial rental history. Not only will this be bad for Brooklyn, but for all of New York. An Independent Budget Office report on the public financing of professional stadiums concluded that dedicating taxes for huge construction projects like this ties up a significant portion of the city's revenues, and often competes with funding for other city needs like schools, police, housing, playgrounds, and sanitation. I was elected to protect and preserve working families, to create more affordable housing and employment opportunities, and to devise economic plans that involve and respect the character of local communities. I support development of this site, but development that make sense. We need projects that will generate revenue for the area and leave the Prospect Heights community intact. We do not need to look like an imitation of Manhattan. We stand uniquely and proudly as Brooklynites. Letitia James represents the district 35 neighborhoods of Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and North Crown Heights in the New York City Council. ##### In This Series: • Netting the Nets by Marty Markowitz • Cheerleaders for Real Estate? by Tom Angotti Tweet Editor's Choice Bratton Assures Manhattan Business Community NYPD Staying Vigilant, Improving Sarsour, Brannan on Collision Course to Replace Gentile?

Cardinals RB Ryan Williams has yet to make it through an NFL season. / Scott Rovak, US Presswire
The Arizona Cardinals have lost running back Ryan Williams for the rest of the season with a left shoulder injury.
Williams, who injured the shoulder in Arizona's 17-3 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Thursday, will require season-ending surgery, coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday.
It's the second straight year Williams has been hurt. He missed all off his rookie year after tearing his patellar tendon in the preseason.
"I feel horrible for Ryan," Whisenhunt said.
Initially, the Cardinals didn't think Williams, who leads the team with 164 yards rushing, was seriously hurt on the hit by Rams' safety Darian Stewart. But subsequent tests revealed that Williams would require surgery. Whisenhunt declined to talk about the precise details of the injury.
"The timetable for recovery is three months. That puts him at the end of the season," Whisenhunt said.
Williams' injury further depletes an already-thin position. Beanie Wells (turf toe) will be out at least five more games, leaving the Cardinals with LaRod Stephens-Howling, who has missed the past two games with a hip injury, William Powell and Alfonso Smith. Combined, the three players have 15 carries for 10 yards this season.
Whisenhunt said he feels "good about the guys we've got," but added the Cardinals might look for reinforcements at tailback.
"If there's an opportunity there we'll try to act on it," Whisenhunt said.
Wells and Williams were supposed to give the Cardinals a formidable one-two punch out of the backfield this season, but those plans have been dashed.
"That's the NFL. Teams have to fight through adversity," Whisenhunt said. "We've done a good job of that the first five week of the season. Now we have another challenge."

The worst thing I've encountered in gnome-shell is the horrible "flat application menu." The lack of categorical organization, and the severely truncated application names, means you're literally left to guess if you've got two or more applications whose name begins with the same letters.
I.e. Armagetron and Armagetron-Server, or if you've got Picasa for linux installed along side Picasa under Wine.
I've actually spent minutes hunting for the application I need, only to become frustrated enough with gnome-shell to give up, and restart err... "gnome-classic."

Michel Gondry's new film is a vivid snapshot of an interracial group of teenagers as they take a bus ride home on the last day of school. The movie opens with a great sequence of the students leaving a Bronx public high school and retrieving their mobile phones from a makeshift storage run by a local grocer. There may be a ban on electronic devices at school, but these kids have gigabytes flowing through their bloodstreams. Once they've got their phones, they're back in the world. Throughout the film, we see a steady flow of text messages, links and videos swirling around the bus and beyond: defining and destroying relationships, making people laugh and cry, bearing news both good and tragic.
The film introduces a dozen or so characters and shifts the narrative between them in an effortless, natural way that gives us a good idea of the group dynamics, as well as some individual backstories. Even though the whole of "The We and the I" is set inside the bus, Gondry peppers the film with innovative flashbacks, shot on low-def video and serving as visual footnotes: some real, some imaginary. The whole movie feels like a breeze and has the lively rhythm of the kids' talk, which sounds totally authentic and was actually improvised in a workshop Gondry ran with his actors prior to the shooting.
The material truly feels like it arose from the kids themselves: they're playing characters who seem close to who they really are, which is not to say they're not acting. Gondry has done a great job with easing them into a relaxed mode that — combined with fantastic camerawork by Alex Disenhof and sharp editing by Gondry's regular collaborator Jeff Buchanan — gives the film a spontaneous vibe. "
The We and the I" is filled with little details that ring true: the way the kids relate to one another, roll their eyes at each other, play stupid jokes, make guest lists for sweet sixteen parties, etc. In terms of sheer authenticity, this may be the single most real film about how contemporary American teenagers of assorted ethnicities behave — which is all the more remarkable if one keeps in mind that Gondry is a Frenchman.
As the day comes to a close and the bus is nearing its final stop, the group gets smaller and the movie becomes more focused, finally zeroing in on the rambunctious Michael (Michael Brodie) and the quiet, artistically inclined Teresa (Teresa Lynn). Throughout the film, we've seen the multiple ways in which these two have circled around each other, with the boy acting stupidly most of the time and the girl retreating into her drawing.
During the final minutes, after the sun has set and the bus moves through the night, Michael and Teresa learn a tragic punch line to a funny video clip everyone was watching before. We are left to suspect that these two have connected on some level and it's too bad Gondry doesn't develop the subject any further (all we get is their muted conversation as the credits roll, with both actors seemingly out of character).
In many ways, the film plays like a "The Breakfast Club"-lite version of all the coming-of-age stories in which a group of teenagers slowly reveals insecurities, hopes and fears. What's remarkable about "The We and the I" is its near-total freedom from cliché and stereotype of any sort. Most of the kids are black, but the film doesn't give them a stock set of problems that the movies always associate with black teenagers.
There's a gay couple that doesn't struggle with being gay — only with being a couple. Some perfunctory gay jokes aside, there's not a single suggestion that any of the kids riding the bus has any problem with accepting the two guys being together. Same goes for race: it's not that Gondry suggests that America went happily post-racial all of a sudden (an early episode with an older white woman making a repugnant comment makes that all too clear), but he doesn't treat his film as a soapbox, either.
Given the structure of the film and its predominantly Black cast, "The We and the I" bears some (superficial) resemblance to "Get on the Bus," Spike Lee's great rant-fueled vehicle from 1996. The differences are significant, though. Save for a pronounced flair for visual experiment, one probably couldn't find a filmmaker more unlike Spike Lee than Gondry. While not exactly carefree, he doesn't seem to have a political bone in his body. Whatever we make of his avoidance of topical issues, it's willful and pronounced. When the driver of the bus (first-time actress Mia Lobo) advocates a career in the U.S. Army as a great life choice for a young person, Teresa just walks away, and Gondry leaves us guessing whether she does so because she disagrees or because she's bored with the subject. Can you even imagine that happening on Lee's bus ... ?
Judging from "The We and the I" and his superb 2005 concert film "Dave Chappelle's Block Party," Gondry is drawn to predominantly black ensemble pieces. He's also attracted — as evidenced by "The Science of Sleep," "Be Kind Rewind" and just about every music video he's ever directed — to ingenuity, finding pleasure in a joyful, DIY junkyard spirit. This combination makes him a perfect director to one day make a successful movie version of "Fat Albert" (which actually gets referenced here), and it serves him well in "The We and the I." As soon as we see the opening shot of a bus-shaped boom box zapping its way through a Bronx sidewalk, we know we're in Gondryland. There are little flourishes like that throughout film, which is divided into three parts ("The Bullies," "The Chaos," "The I").
Neither polished nor pointed, "The We and the I" may have one or two cool ideas too many for its own good (I, for one, could have done without the sudden surges of the barely-relevant "Theme from Shaft" on the soundtrack), but remains a fresh and engaging movie nevertheless. One can tell it grew from an improvised workshop because it lacks a neat structure and resolution (as far as bus rides go, the film's emotional payoff is nowhere near that of the Richard Pryor-driven "Bustin' Loose"). Still, upon leaving the theater I had a feeling like I just got to know a bunch of kids: some great, some annoying, but all living lives that extend beyond what little I saw of them on the screen.

Can a Christian Lose Their Salvation?
from R.C. Sproul Jul 18, 2014 Category: Articles
There is no question that professing believers can fall and fall radically. We think of men like Peter, for example, who denied Christ. But the fact that he was restored shows that not every professing believer who falls has fallen past the point of no return. At this point, we should distinguish a serious and radical fall from a total and final fall. Keep Reading -

The Imperfections of Perfectionism

Warfield's world, once he arrived at Princeton in 1887, was not very large at all. His house, the Old Hodge House, conveniently situated him next to Alexander Hall, which contained Princeton Seminary's dorm rooms and classrooms. Across the lawn stood Miller Chapel. His own well-stocked study — as editor of The Princeton Review he had a constant flow of books sent to him — could be supplemented by a short trip to the seminary's library. Yet, Warfield's impact belies this small world, stretching far beyond the tree-lined campus of Princeton. Keep Reading -

This close cousin to the walleye loves murky water and current. Sauger are being stocked in several northeastern Kansas reservoirs where walleye haven't done well because of high flowthrough and murky water conditions. Sauger are less likely than walleye to be flushed from a reservoir. Smaller than the walleye, the world record sauger weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces. The state record is 4 pounds, 13 ounces.

i've tried it on high-end x86 CPU, as well on PS3 and i already told the results:
* PS3: significantly faster than real-time, i.e. few minutes of multichannel DST data are decoded for less than those few minutes; of course that's with its SPE optimized decoder.
* high-end x86 CPU with the reference decoder:
few minutes of multichannel DST data are decoded for several hours, yes several hours. so, it's like PS3 is hundreds if not thousands times faster
so, unless you state that there are ARMs with faster computational power than high-end x86 CPU then ARM performance would be worst than x86 CPU with the reference decoder - in fact i can try it for sure since i have several Samsung and Texas Instruments ARMs (probably one of the fastest at least those 2 companies are making), but i see it as pointless. once again, optimizing the reference decoder for x86 CPUs and multithreading it gives big performance bump and high-end x86 CPU get closer to PS3, but then is the price - such x86 system costs times the costs of PS3. so, bottom line is that ARM will be 3rd for sure and doing real test only will show 3rd by how big margin compared to the 2nd - i believe it would be very big.

Oh, that was a few weeks ago.... anyhoo...
I just thought I'd mention what name they decided to go with (despite some of my nice suggestions...) drum roll, please............ OLEDWorks. Exciting, isn't it? Well, not everyone feels creative names are the best way to go, I guess. But, on the other hand, they have have found all the financial backers they needed and have incorporated and officially hired all the people that have been working for over a year without any contract, including my hubby. Let's just hope the whole thing will take off and make some money for everyone... :0)

Didn't we secure Balota also?
Something should be done to get the info-post stickied. As of right now its dangerously low on page two of the arma-subforum. Not good if we are to keep people aware of the sessions existence.
Operation Fulcrum :
Fun stuff. My first visit to hedgerow-land, and the map was really nice. Been waiting for something like this since the demo of the original Close Combat way back in whenever.
A Bottle of Beer :
Ratatatatatatatatatatatataatatatatatatata, OMGRUN, ratatatatatatatatatatatataatatatatata. A very funny mission. Unfortunately for Phalanx, the tank could hear him think....
Dynamic Campaign Pt 6 :
Uncoordinated tank mayhem. With old, annoying british? US? tanks. I think we should have been more thorough in our explorations of the villages, our pure tank sweeps left too many stragglers. Though there is a limited amount to be done with a low player count.
My VON was too low for the inside of a tank, and i spent waaay too long adjusting it.
Then the double headed truck of doom was sighted. it was fortunately defeated by its arch-nemesis, the standard forest tree. and we all headed for the hills. (unless you managed to play another mission after that)
Well post something then on the forum :D
To be honest we can stop playing the dynamic campaign if you guys don't want it, and I thought we could play different mods in Saturdays so it doesn't have to be I44 all the time ;) one of those mods could be Unsung.
If you had Churcill's then you would go mad because they are even slower :D
Yes those were Brit tanks :D

First mission I wasn't in.
Bottle of Beer - We got slaughtered on the dam bridge. Not much else to say about that.
Commanded Dynamic Campaign Pt6 by taking over 5 locations (not 4), while completing the objectives using tanks only.
It was a slow process and quite stressful not for me, but for everyone else. Originally we was going to take over the objectives (which were 6km away) but instead, decided to take over each village one by one meaning it be more easy in the future.
There were some... issues in Elektrozavdsk. Soon we all grouped up and almost got hit by a tank's cannon due to the gunner alt-tabbing. Told the gunner to get out the tank. Then told Zitron get in the tank. He refused and disobey my command. He wanted to hoof it instead on foot.
After that, we taken overPrigordki, avoided Chernogosk, captured the Radiotower, tank race downhill to capture the powerstation and exfil from Balota.Dynamic Campaigns a break? They are a good idea but starting to irritate.
I would like to say can we give the
Tunnel ambush - Ambush the tunnel. Took out some germans near the exit of the tunnel, team planted the explosives, scouts sent away to spot germans while we waited near the exit. Waited. Waited some more... then the strangest thing happens. Germans were "popping" out of the tunnel from the sides. Then there were no germans. Suddenly an ambush from the eastern side of the tunnel. Some men died since we were expecting the AI to go into tunnel... but most didn't. Odd mission.
The double headed truck of doom bonus mission- Went into said truck, everything was fine until we turned a corner and hit one single tree. We flew 500 feet into the air, crashed into the ground hard, one truck facing towards the sky blew up while the other truck was stuck underground. Managed to get out the exploding burning truck. Shocked I was alive...
Then a german 300 metres east shot me in the head with a rifle. I was the first to die.

pretty much CO'd the entire night, needed a little Zargabad Safari therapy post-session to get all the stress out..
Operation Fulcrum
Not a bad mission really, a few people crashed and couldn't rejoin so had to lug a complete derp AI around. We had completed all 3 objectives and were moving to exfil when I mistook Kalelovil for the previously mentioned derp AI and shot him in the head while he was driving a truck... I partly blame Hawk_Silk for this.. Then the 3 of us that were left died to 1 german in the last village before exfil, moral victory!
A Bottle Of Beer
Crazy mission, people weren't kidding when they said "As soon as you spawn, run"
Not quite sure how we made it to the Dam but we did, getting across was another story however.. As Bravo I was spearheading the assault across the Dam itself while Alpha tried to draw any fire away from us. The diversion went as planned, perhaps a little too well as all of them died shortly after engaging, I was the only one left to reach the other side of the Dam, completely surrounded by infantry - Along with a british tank that could read my thoughts.
The tank somehow tracked my movements without having line of sight making it extremely hard to advance, especially as a platoon's worth of infantry was converging on my location. In the end I got gunned down by infantry from the side while playing cat and mouse with the tank around some sandbags, but not before said tank had completely submersed itself in the lake several times and still remained functional... Wha..?10/10 would play again
Dynamic campaign pt6
Not too sure about this one, the format of this mission was quite similar to regular Domi where villages were marked with a red circle and you could capture them by killing the occupying forces.
It was quite slow to start as we first had to locate all this armour that the briefing screen had lead us to believe existed. Once we were distributed among 3 tanks it was a long drive to the first town where we must've only encountered around 6-8 troops, ok sure.. Maybe they just weren't defending this town too well.
But as we moved onto the other villages this seemed to be a recurring theme, hardily a squad of troops occupying each town. This was the case up until Elektro where we encountered enemy armour among another squad-sized group of infantry.
After destroying the enemy armour and any stragglers we could find we deemed Elektro clear. There may have been 1 or 2 left but due to the clunkiness of the tanks, small player count and because we had already spent a lot of time driving around, we decided to move onto other objectives of the mission which were to capture a radio tower and power station.
The closest objective was the radio tower, so after a crawl uphill we arrived and found it completely unguarded, amidst the perplexion a tank race was arranged.. I'm not quite sure what these tanks were made of but we flew down the hill at speeds peaking 120kph, knocking down trees as if they had just been balanced on the ground. Alrighty then! Arma physics..
Last up was the power station, which was also pretty much unguarded - I had become quite impatient at this point and instructed my driver, Hawk_Silk, to roll right into the middle of the compound ignoring any threats. Nothing happened.. As the other tank caught up they spotted a fireteam near the power station running away, we killed those and that seemed to be it.
The actual last objective was to exfil at a town south-west of our position, but we thought we'd just call it and play another mission.
Also, nice gunning Tired Hippo!
Final verdict: Quite slow, a little boring at times, mission ended up being very easy despite the small player count. I'd suggest fortifying the towns so it's harder to take a few rather than easy to take many, driving for 15 minutes between towns occupied by 5 guys isn't very fun. Maybe I'm missing something?
Tunnel ambush
This was a charlie-foxtrot if I ever saw one.. The plan to ambush the enemies in the tunnel with gunfire & explosives was solid enough but ended up falling apart we were somehow spotted, causing the AI to begin warping through geometry.. We still won in the end but wow, that was weird.

Aye, the issue was the initial confusion over whether those tanks could take 3 or 4 crew - there was a fourth slot (a foward machine gunner) which I think you meant zitron to get into and not the main gunner slot which I had just taken the confusion stemmed from that methinks. Personally I blame kefirz for the whole mess. :)
Bottle of Beer
I got pulverised by the flanking enemy that had followed us up the river.
Dynamic Campaign Pt6
I enjoyed this, I liked the idea of rolling through the towns and clearing them as we went. Sadly "alpharidestwo" tank got chewed up in electro - by the very first enemy armour we saw. We struggled on a bit but eventually after another hit had to bail. We lost AudioX after coming under fire from ground troops at around the same time as Badger(?) tank was destroyed. I was injured (and we had no medic - daf was burned alive in the fireball that Badger had become) so my aim was terrible for the rest of the mission, I struggled on a bit before joining the replacement tank as Main Gunner after kale got demoted (heheh). Pushed on a bit and I'm not sure where we were but we were ordered out while the replacement tank returned to pick up a couple stragglers, while Command Tank, and the dismounted crew watched west and eventually fought and destroyed a german patrol. Then a jerry half track turned up and murderised me.
I did JIP but starting so far away by the time i'd got to kamshoyo the mission had been completed. yay us!
Tunnel ambush
Got murderised by the teleporting Jerry who suddenly appeared out of solid wall at the far end of the tunnel. I did manage to fire the bazooka first though - I suspect they didn't like that one little bit.

My communication skills wasn't great on Dynamic Campaign. It did lead to some confusion, thus causing some stress. As jRides said, all of us weren't sure if the tank can take 3 or 4 men (turns out it was 4).

Flat out doesn't work, actually I bought 2 from them and neither works.
This product seems to be a simple "plug and play" option for connecting a laptop to the TV. However for this to work you would need a HDMI conversion box. This seems to run around $80. So what seems inexpensive and uncomplicated was not. Ended up using a VGA to VGA connection instead.
this will not work to bring vga to an hdmi input on a tv or monitor. I didn't think it would work but for the price I thought I would try it out myself. I should have known. Waste of money.
i bought one thinking it would work i got it and it didn't work so they sent me a new one, that one didn't work either, and i wasn't going to wait another week only to find that that one doesn't work either. so don't buy it, get a different one from somewhere else.
The inference is that if you plug the VGA end into a video source such as the back of a laptop and the other HDMI end into a monitor (or other device which can render or copy the video), you are home free. No No No. This product does not change or convert the VGA signal levels/protocols from VGA to HDMI. I now notice this has been pointed out to Overstock many times previously by reviewers. CHANGE the Ad to indicate that this product does not convert signals - it merely is a bunch of wires running from one socket type to another, probably well made but... A true device has electronics between the adapters, a power source, and costs much more. How about my money back or credit ?
I have shared this product with at least 10 people no complaint! All positive Feedback!
After receiving the cable I hooked it up to a laptop VGA port then into a HDMI port of a TV, didn't work. I then tested both the VGA port of the laptop and it was working and also tested the HDMI port of the TV and that was also good. I then thought it was the wrong cable and thought it would work from an HDMI port of a Blu-ray player to the VGA port of a monitor but then again NO GOOD! This is my second experience with Overstock.com and I was very happy with the first.
this cord did not work for our needs. i read reviews about needing an adapter etc but decided to try it anyway since other reviews said it worked just fine. had it worked, we would have kept it. its just a cord, looks and all that werent important.
