Riverboat GamblersRiverboat Gamblers: Underneath the OwlUnderneath the Owl (2009)Volcom Entertainment Reviewer Rating: 3 User Rating: Contributed by: detachedretinadetachedretina (others by this writer | submit your own) I guess it was only a matter of time. After churning out three pretty much flawless albums, the Riverboat Gamblers have let me down a little with Underneath the Owl. Don't get me wrong -- this is still a noble effort, but it just doesn't have what the last two had: speed. The album starts off wit.
I guess it was only a matter of time. After churning out three pretty much flawless albums, the Riverboat Gamblers have let me down a little with Underneath the Owl. Don't get me wrong -- this is still a noble effort, but it just doesn't have what the last two had: speed.

I'm pretty disappointed, probably would like it better if I wouldn't knew the previous one, but "Underneath the owl" totally lacks the energie which made TRG so special till now This album, to me, is a home run. I don't care how much slower the songs are. Speed doesn't necessarily indicate quality, even for a band with the frenetic energy of The Riverboat Gamblers. This album, to me, is a home run. haven't picked this up yet. but will. i dug "to the confusion of our enemies" a ton, but i do agree that the true appeal of this band is on stage. I Love this CD, unlike most on here, yes there may be a few "slower" songs, but dam they have got some hooks that stick in your head like crazy...great, great CD-oldpunker- I anxiously awaited this, having become a convert to the gospel of Riverboat. But I do have to agree that the album was a bit of a letdown. That's not to say it's a bad album ... FAR from it. But when you have Something To Crow About (personal fave) and To The Confusion of Our Enemies in yr. back catalog ... the expectations of fans may be just a little higher. I bought this after hearing good things. Was not a big fan at all. Is the other releases by these guys any better than this? "Something else that the album lacks is substance. Songs about insomnia and reclusiveness don�??t strike the same chord as songs about the state of charity health care and a punk band actually having a little pride in their state when traveling abroad. " This review reads like a 3rd grade book report. Can't be let down when they never picked me up. I agree with this review entirely. Kind of let down. Sadly, this is their worst release to date. The opening track is really kicking it, but the rest bores the shit out of me, except for "Catastrophe" and the one with the xylophone. Far too slow, just bland rock with no drive and no appeal whatsoever. here's the score i meant to post...haha. rating is for the album...not so much the review. this rekkid rips shit up this is their 4th record not 3rd I'm really enjoying the majority of this release. I do wish they had a few more fast songs though. I completely agree with this review. There are a few really good songs but the majority are all medium paced songs that seem to all blend together and drag on. I'll see how they sound live when I see them in a week. This really wasn't my favorite release by this band. Still, the new songs were awesome when I saw them live last saturday. "The Riverboat Gamblers are known for their live show and most of these songs just would not go over well in a live setting. " Holy shit, they're actually selling FLAC downloads on their website. Kudos to them, not enough bands do that. Have to agree...was pretty disappointed on first listen. Hopefully it gets better after some time. i don't know how you can make a judgement regarding how the songs will transcend in a live setting without having heard them in a live setting...? give them a chance at least!on another note, toys that kill fucking rule. I totally disagree with this review. Pilgrims in an Unholy Land, A Choppy, Yet Sincere Apology, Alexandria, Robots May Break Your Heart are all great tunes and the rest of the album is good too. |

President's Message
It is my great honor and pleasure to serve for 2015 as the 28th president of the Court of Federal Claims Bar Association. I was admitted to the bar of the United States Court of Claims in October 1978, so I experienced first-hand the winds of change that were blowing in 1979, in the form of several legislative proposals to restructure the Court—the topic that dominated the first Judicial Conference that I attended. Because there was no Court-affiliated bar association at that time, the 1979 Judicial Conference was co-sponsored by the Court of Claims Committee of the District of Columbia Bar Association. Within five years after the Court of Claims was reconstituted in 1982, however, a group of private and government Court practitioners formed the Court of Federal Claims Bar Association. Throughout our 28-year history, with roughly 450 members on average, the Bar Association has worked hand-in-glove with the Court to advance the administration of justice in many ways.[READ MORE] |

Video:How to Make Italian Braciole Stuffed Steak
with Gina MillerBraciole stuffed steak is an affordable and delicious way to enjoy steak. See our step-by-step instruction on making this great Italian dish.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make Italian Braciole Stuffed Steak
Hi, I am Gina miller with About.com. Today I'm going to make Braciole, (Italian Stuffed Steak), a wonderful Italian dish that has been handed down through my family since the early 1900.What is Braciole?
What is unique about Braciole is you can buy an inexpensive cut of meat like round steak, make sure it is tenderized, then you can begin to stuff it creatively with whatever you prefer,Braciole Ingredients
The ingredients I am going to use today are:- 1/2 lb Round Steak - Tenderized ( Serves 1-2 people)
- 2 Table Minced garlic
- 1/2 cup of chopped Italian Parsley
- 2 Table chopped green onions
- 1 cup grated Parmesan Reggiano Cheese
- Kitchen Twine
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 4 Cups of Pre-pared Pasta Sauce*
- 3 Cups of cooked Pasta** (Serves 2)
Season Steak and Add Filling
Sprinkle both sides of round steak that is tenderized with salt & pepper. In the center add your chopped garlic, Italian parsley and green onions to the center Fill until you realize you can still roll it easily, then you can add the P-R cheese.Rolling the Steak
After add all your ingredients, you can begin to roll you steak keeping all ingredients on the inside. Using kitchen twine tie your (rolled steak) Braciole so it will stay together while cooking. Add just a drop or two of olive oil to the Braciole to help with the browning process.Brown and Cook the Stuffed Steak
To a re-heated skillet, brown meat on all sides until brown. Then add it to your spaghetti sauce and let it cook slowly on low for 2-3 hours until tender to cut.Braciole, it is our family favorite, I think you are really going to enjoy this dish.

Higgins project
Original author(s) | Paul Trevithick |
Developer(s) | Eclipse Foundation |
Stable release | 2.0.0 / 15 June 2012 |
Development status | Stalled |
Type | Personal Data Service |
Website | eclipse |
A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (June 2010) |
Higgins is an open source project dedicated to giving individuals more control over their personal identity, profile and social network data.
The project is organized into three main areas:
- Active Clients - An active client integrates with a browser and runs on a computer or mobile device.
- Higgins 1.X: the active client supports the OASIS IMI protocol and performs the functions of an Information Card selector.
- Higgins 2.0: the plan is to move beyond selector functionality to add support for managing passwords, Higgins relationship cards, as well other protocols such as OpenID. It also becomes a client for the Personal Data Store (see below) and thereby provides a kind of dashboard for personal information and a place to manage "permissioning"—deciding who gets access to what slice of the user's data.
- Personal Data Store (PDS) is a new work area under development for Higgins 2.0. A PDS stores local personal data, controls access to remotely hosted personal data, synchronizes personal data to other devices and computers, accessed directly or via a PDS client it allows the user to share selected aspects of their information with people and organizations that they trust.
- Identity Services - Code for (i) an IMI and SAML compatible Identity Provider and (ii) enabling websites to be IMI and OpenID compatible.
The initial code for the Higgins Project[1] was written by Paul Trevithick in the summer of 2003. In 2004 the effort became part of SocialPhysics.org, a collaboration between Paul and Mary Ruddy, of Azigo, (formerly Parity Communications, Inc.), and Meristic, and John Clippinger, at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Higgins, under its original name Eclipse Trust Framework, was accepted into the Eclipse Foundation in early 2005. Mary and Paul are the project co-leads. IBM and Novell's participation in the project was announced in early 2006.[2][3] Higgins has received technology contributions from IBM, Novell, Oracle, CA, Serena, Google, eperi GmbH as well as from several other firms and individuals. Version 1.0 was released in February 2008.[4]

Increase your slag's productivity rate
MSDS and Technical Data Sheet available on request.
Your productivity rate is the measure of how much surface you cover over a certain period of time to achieve a desired substrate finish. It is generally expressed in Square Feet per Hour. According to this study (1) conducted in the early 1990's, you should obtain at least a 114% improvement by switching from coal to copper slag.
Pressure | Feed Rate | Coal Slag Productivity | Copper Slag Productivity | Improvement |
(PSI) | Number of turns on the Thompson Valve | (sq ft/hr) | (sq ft/hr) | % |
80 | *3-4* (1) | 81.58 | 174.64 | 114% |
100 | 4 | 86.19 | 192.63 | 123 |
120 | 4 | 76.08 | 179.33 | 136% |
Coal=3, Copper=4 |
How much money could you save on your next job?
Contact us and we will gladly work the numbers with you. Simply provide us with your labour rate for blasting, and the surface size you need to cover. We trust you will find the numbers economically irresistible.
How many more jobs could you land?
An increased productivity rate of over 100% should give you an undeniable competitive advantage. Contact us and we will work with you to help you to land more business.

In so doing, the committee will assess the status of physics education research (PER), and will discuss how PER can assist in accomplishing the goal of improving undergraduate physics education best practices and education policy. As part of this task, the committee will:
1. Assess the current status of Physics Education and PER by:
(a) Describing the current landscape of undergraduate physics education with a focus on its ability to recruit and retain undergraduate students in physics, to prepare and support teachers of physics and physical science from K-12, and to provide meaningful physics education to other science and technology professionals;
(b) Discussing progress and issues in the PER field, including preparation of a synthesis of findings from this body of research; and
(c) Identifying and examining the efficacy of current assessment methods.
2. Address the future of undergraduate physics education and PER by:
(a) Identifying best practices in undergraduate physics education for majors and non-majors alike;
(b) Identifying those practices and programs in physics that effectively engage, recruit, prepare, and support current and future pre-college teachers
(c) Considering mechanisms to deploy assessment tools by which best practices and research-based findings in physics education can be scaled to make them more widespread and sustained;
(d) Identifying the future directions of PER; and
(e) Recommending strategies for academic institutions and policymakers to implement those mechanisms to improve undergraduate physics education.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 29, 2012
HARRISBURG – February 29, 2012. Governor Pat Quinn today issued a state disaster proclamation following a tour of damaged areas in Harrisburg after a tornado devastated parts of southern Illinois Wednesday morning. State resources including the Illinois State Police, Illinois Department of Transportation and Illinois Department of Natural Resources were also deployed on the ground to respond to the damage.
"My heart goes out to the victims of this devastating storm, and I would like to thank the many people who have stepped up and volunteered to aid their neighbors," Governor Quinn said. "I have met with local community leaders and first responders, and they know the state of Illinois is here to help as they recover from this disaster."
The disaster declaration issued by Governor Quinn today covers the southern-third of Illinois and will ensure that state resources and personnel are available to assist with response and recovery efforts.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to our neighbors in and around Harrisburg today as we learn of the devastation that hit the region early this morning," Lt. Governor Sheila Simon said. "I will continue to work diligently to coordinate state and local disaster relief efforts and bring aid and support to this community."
Simon said the Red Cross Little Egypt Network is coordinating volunteer efforts and accepting monetary donations to aid in disaster relief efforts. The Little Egypt chapter can be contacted at (618) 529-1698, and donations can be sent to the chapter office at 665 North Airport Road, Murphysboro, IL 62966.
Shortly after the storm this morning, Governor Quinn directed the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) to activate the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in Springfield. IEMA personnel and several other state agencies are coordinating at the SEOC and continue to assess the impact of the storms.
"The focus of the state right now is to coordinate with local emergency response officials in the affected areas to determine what state resources are needed for response and recovery from the storms," said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken.
IEMA regional personnel were deployed to Harrisburg soon after the storms and representatives from the Illinois State Police, departments of Transportation, Central Management Services, Corrections, Public Health and Natural Resources, along with the American Red Cross, reported to the SEOC soon thereafter. The SEOC will remain activated as long as necessary.
State resources on the ground in the affected storm areas include:
March 1 marks the beginning of Severe Weather Preparedness Month in Illinois. IEMA has a Severe Weather Preparedness Guide on the Ready Illinois website (www.Ready.Illinois.gov) that provides information on how to stay safe when severe storms and tornadoes approach.

->''"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor '''Thy'' will be done.']]"''
''The Great Divorce'' is an allegorical book by Creator/CSLewis.
This book comes from the POV of an AuthorAvatar who finds himself in "the grey town," a dismal place where it is always twilight (the lights are on but are not welcoming) and always raining, even inside. The place seems empty and vast (there are many houses). The only queue is at a bus station, and our narrator joins it. He then describes how half the people in that queue leave it never to return.
The bus is shining and brightly colored. Those who board clamor for space despite the bus being half-empty and say bad things about the driver for no good reason. Our narrator is seated, first next to a poet who manages to generate his own {{Wangst}}, and then a man with Great Plans and a broad-minded preacher.
They get to a bright, beautiful, vast, joyous countryside which is somehow more real than where they came from. They know it is supposed to be heaven. But it is so much more real that they appear to be ghosts, and are called such through the rest of the narrative. (This does include the narrator.) They are translucent. They are not intangible, though - they are just solid enough to be hurt. And everything hurts.
Each Ghost is met by someone who was close to them who is a native, a Bright One. The Bright Ones literally give off light. Some of them are naked, some clothed - it doesn't make much difference. The Bright Ones try to encourage those they are meeting to stay and come to the mountains. Most of them fail.
The title is a reference to Creator/WilliamBlake's ''The Marriage of Heaven and Hell''. Lewis said in his introduction that Blake wrote of the marriage of Heaven and Hell; [[TakeThat he was writing of their divorce.]]
!!This work contains examples of the following tropes:
* AHellOfATime: As one character points out, the Grey Town doesn't contain the expected sights associated with Hell: devils with pitchforks, sinners being tortured on flaming racks, etc. But at best, it's a depressing, rainy place where constant squabbling causes residents to spread out from everyone else and become TheAloner. Also, it's hinted that things are about to get much worse.
* AnAesop: The intended aesop is that Heaven and Hell are incompatible, though you can change sides.
* AllJustADream: Lewis was careful to hammer the MST3KMantra home in the preface and the last chapter.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Two of the damned want to be Givers, and aren't allowed. They literally have nothing to offer the residents of Heaven, and until they accept this they cannot enjoy paradise themselves.
* AncientConspiracy: The Hard-Bitten Ghost, who has SeenItAll, believes that the controlling forces for both sides of all conflicts, including HeavenAndHell, are actually on the same side.
* AnythingThatMoves: One of the Ghosts appears to have grown so obsessed with sex that she is unable to conceive of any purpose for interaction other than seduction, and actually tries to seduce the Bright Ones who are trying to talk to her.
-->If a corpse already liquid with decay had risen from the grave, smeared lipstick on its gums, and attempted a flirtation, the result could not have been more appalling.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Staggeringly so. One character continues to deny that "Heaven" and "God" are literal things that exist, and insists they're just metaphors. This is while he actually has died, is in the afterlife, and is talking to a resident of Heaven, who offers to take him to see God this very minute.
* AnswersToTheNameOfGod:
--> '''A Ghost:''' "I just want my deserts, see? I'm not asking for anyone's bleeding charity."
--> '''A Person:''' "Then do so at once. Ask for the Bleeding Charity. Everything is here for the asking and nothing can be bought."
** There's also an exchange where a Ghost exclaims "God!" to the confusion of one of the Bright Ones, who only uses the word "God" as [[{{God}} a noun]]. The Ghost has to embarrassedly explain that he meant something like "[[GoshDangItToHeck By gum]]."
* AuthorAvatar: The narrator.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: One of the two main points of the story: there is no room for evil or sin ''whatsoever'' in Heaven. Many of the Ghosts refuse to go to Heaven because it will mean giving up their quirks, such as saying mean things to their loved ones.
** The contrapostive of that statement also falls under that trope. ''Everything'' in us can find its fullest and most joyful expression in Heaven, if it will only submit first to God. Specifically seen in the case of the Lizard, which represented a certain Ghost's uncontrollable lust. After the Lizard is killed by an Angel (with the Ghost's permission), the Ghost turns into a Person, and the Lizard is reincarnated as a Stallion, an expression of joyful, holy, physicality.
* CardCarryingVillain: Easier to save than a KnightTemplar or WellIntentionedExtremist. If you know you're evil, you can be converted to good. If you think you're good, it's harder.
* CityNoir: "The grey town," a dismal place where it is always twilight and where it's always raining, even inside.
* ConspiracyTheorist: We meet one or two of them.
* DeadToBeginWith: Every human character other than the narrator
* DrivenToSuicide: The Tousle-Headed Poet. According to him, all the bad things that happened to him were [[NeverMyFault Never His Fault]].
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: What sunrise in Heaven will do to Hell and to anyone who's still a ghost.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The only people (other than Lewis and [=MacDonald=]) whose names are given are Frank and Sarah Smith.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Quite a few people persist in their atheism even in the afterlife.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Sarah Smith has won over practically every person and every living creature she's ever met, which is why we learn her name. The only person she couldn't win over was her husband[[spoiler: and cannot even in the afterlife]].
* GrayRainOfDepression: In Hell
* HardLight: "The light, like solid blocks, intolerable of edge and weight, came thundering upon my head."
* HenpeckedHusband: Robert. He never appears, but we meet his ControlFreak wife.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Creator/GeorgeMacDonald, Lewis's favorite author, appears as his SpiritAdvisor in heaven. {{Napoleon|Bonaparte}} also makes a cameo, and several others are discussed.
* IdiotBall: Most of the Ghosts.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Very many.
* ItsThePrincipleOfTheThing: Most of the ghosts decided that accepting the help of the Bright People was a terrible violation of one important principle or another.
* KarmaHoudini: Some Bright Ones appear to be this by most measures. It's a severe stumbling block for some ghosts, most notably the Big Ghost, whose guide got to Heaven via deathbed conversion. The point Lewis is making is that ''everyone'' in Heaven is a KarmaHoudini. It's no good saying one person deserves Heaven more than another, because in the end, ''no one does.'' The ones who make it in are those who realize they'll never earn it on their own merits, and accept Jesus' gift.
* KarmicDeath: We see a couple of these.
* MadeOfIron: Heaven.
* MadeOfPlasticine: The ones from Hell.
* MadnessMantra / NeverMyFault: "It was Soult's fault. It was Ney's fault. It was Josephine's fault. It was the fault of the English. It was the fault of the Russians."
* TheMasochismTango: A husband and wife who leave the line for the bus quarreling. It is clear that they will go on trashing each other forever.
* MundaneAfterlife: Hell is just a rainy twilit town that gives new meaning to "urban sprawl". This is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by some who remark that the one draw of Hell -- the chance to talk to the great sinners -- is more or less impossible because of the distance.
* MyBelovedSmother: One of the more heart-wrenching conversations is on this theme.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: We only see the Ghosts who decide to visit Heaven, but there's some discussion about Ghosts who take similar visits back to Earth.
* PetTheDog: The Ghost with the Lizard lets the angel kill his sin and becomes a Bright One.
* PointOfNoReturn: Any sin, unremedied, leads to this. Interestingly, this is usually symbolized as someone [[PutOnABus returning to the bus.]]
* {{Pride}}: The number one factor keeping people from accepting grace.
* TheScottishTrope: The damned never speak of Hell as Hell.
* SelfInflictedHell: Arguably one of the two main points of the book: The only reason the Ghosts end up in Hell is because of their own petty issues, when the chance to go to Heaven is right in front of them.
* ShoutOut: To ''The Man Who Lived Backwards'' by Charles F. Hall (Lewis had forgotten the author and title, though), in which the immutability of the past while [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin living backwards in time]] results in IntangibleTimeTravel.
** Also, this being C. S. Lewis, to lots of literary and philosophical authors including Creator/WilliamBlake, Prudentius, Jeremy Taylor, [[Literature/DivineComedy Dante]], Creator/JohnMilton, and of course Creator/GeorgeMacDonald.
* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: The Hard-Bitten Ghost Deconstructs cynicism and the thought that the cynical view of the world is more reliable (the Narrator describes his appearance as being of the type that he(the Narrator) has always found reliable, and the Narrator trusts his words enough to go into a HeroicBSOD because of them). He's a conspiracy theorist who has lost all ability to enjoy anything because he's so cynical, and thinks that all of the Wonders of the World are just tourist traps run by a World Combine. He's in hell, and he can't accept that he can get into Heaven because he doesn't trust the Bright People's assurances that those who choose to go to Heaven can become more solid. Heck, he doesn't believe in Heaven at all, and thinks that Heaven and Hell are secretly on the same side, faking the war to extort from the Ghosts.
* SpiritAdvisor: Every visitor from Hell gets one; though the Heavenly Beings are all fully visible to one another, the Hellish ones can only perceive depending on certain circumstances.
* SpiritualAntithesis: To ''The Marriage of Heaven and Hell''.
* ThereAreTwoKindsOfPeopleInTheWorld: Those who say to God "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor "Thy will be done."]]
* TheTreacheryOfImages: The blessed former apostate finally gives up on trying to reason with his damned apostate friend not very long after the damned soul has gone so far off the deep end in his pseudo-intellectual diatribe that he ends up complaining about how the blessed man is talking "as if there some hard, fixed reality where things are, so to speak, 'there'."
** Painting as a way to depict particular subject matters or for its own sake is also discussed between a damned artist and his more heavenly-minded friend.
* TimeStandsStill: Lewis had the idea for the story from a half-remembered story about a time traveller. Nothing the spirits do can effect any real change [[note]]just as nothing the time traveller could do made any difference to the past -- right down to being able to bend a blade of grass or bite into a sandwich[[/note]] -- Hell is always damp and miserable and Heaven is so much 'realer' than the spirits that the grass cuts into their feet instead of bending to them.
* UnreliableNarrator: When not called on it, the ghosts will present very unreliable accounts -- the Tousle-Headed Poet and the grumbling woman in particular.
* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: One ghost argues this: It's better to travel hopefully than to arrive. The Bright One returns that if you knew that to be true, you could not travel in hope, because how can you hope to reach an inferior destination?
* WasOnceAMan: Many of the Hellish spirits are so bitter that there's very little left of them.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[invoked]] Used in-universe. The apostate bishop speculates about how Christianity could have turned out differently (and, in his opinion, better) if Jesus had not been crucified, and had continued teaching throughout his life. This is, of course, CompletelyMissingThePoint: according to Christian orthodoxy, it's Jesus' death and resurrection that makes it possible for sinners (that is, everyone) to enter heaven.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Tousle-Head Poet simply disappears after his scene on the bus, with no indication of whether he chooses to stay or go. The audience doesn't get to see the final decisions of the possessive mother, or the woman caught in the unicorn stampede, either, although there's slightly more closure in these cases, since [=MacDonald=] gives educated guesses on what their final decisions might be (he thinks the possessive mother ultimately won't stay, but that the other woman may have a chance, providing the stampede distracts her enough to stop obsessing over herself and listen to her Guide.)
* {{Yandere}}: The possessive mother; [=MacDonald=] explains that LoveMakesYouCrazy in Hell, whereas LoveRedeems in Heaven.

Comments about Wooster Painter's Comb (1831):
A brush comb to keep the bristles of a paint brush aligned is very useful after washing out the brush. How to remove the chunks of dried paint high up on the bristle? I have seen a professional painter use a wire brush like a brush comb to remove most of these large pieces of dried paint, so the combination of a regular-toothed brush comb plus a wire brush on the same tool seemed like the perfect combination. And it is, with one large drawback: the brass bristles are not strong enough, and they very quickly bend out of place, gradually lessening the effectiveness of this side of the tool. For the occasional painter, this is not a serious problem; it will deteriorate over time like any other brass brush. But for someone who paints and cleans brushes on a regular basis, it would be better to get a separate brush comb and wire brush.

Mopar fans in the '60s might have been perfectly happy to prowl the streets in a stripped interior-devoid of any accessories that might add a few ticks to a drag strip run-but this is now, and this Ram packs some luxury too. Katzkin leather seats bring some Hemi orange inside, and Woodview Products satin nickel dash and door trim breaks up what would have been gray monotony. In case road noise isn't your thing, Quiet Ride Solutions insulated the cab.
But don't worry, if you want to hear the Corsa exhaust, either crack the window or mash the gas pedal. If, for some reason, you don't want to listen to a blown Hemi, there's a Sony sub and Sony amps located behind the seats with Sony separates in the doors. A Sony XAV-W1 double-din A/V center with a Sony 7-inch touch-screen display mounted in the dash serves as the control center.
When the dust settled from the construction of the newest Mr. Norm's creation, the final tally was impressive: around 500 hp, a look and sound that is unmistakably Mopar, and an interior that makes time fly by while waiting for your next dragstrip opponent. Mr. Norm would certainly be proud.

Structural basis for functional cooperation between tandem helicase cassettes in Brr2-mediated remodeling of the spliceosome. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23045696 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Assembly of a spliceosome, catalyzing precursor-messenger RNA splicing, involves multiple RNA-protein remodeling steps, driven by eight conserved DEXD/H-box RNA helicases. The 250-kDa Brr2 enzyme, which is essential for U4/U6 di-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein disruption during spliceosome catalytic activation and for spliceosome disassembly, is the only member of this group that is permanently associated with the spliceosome, thus requiring its faithful regulation. At the same time, Brr2 represents a unique subclass of superfamily 2 nucleic acid helicases, containing tandem helicase cassettes. Presently, the mechanistic and regulatory consequences of this unconventional architecture are unknown. Here we show that in human Brr2, two ring-like helicase cassettes intimately interact and functionally cooperate and how retinitis pigmentosa-linked Brr2 mutations interfere with the enzyme's function. Only the N-terminal cassette harbors ATPase and helicase activities in isolation. Comparison with other helicases and mutational analyses show how it threads single-stranded RNA, and structural features suggest how it can load onto an internal region of U4/U6 di-snRNA. Although the C-terminal cassette does not seem to engage RNA in the same fashion, it binds ATP and strongly stimulates the N-terminal helicase. Mutations at the cassette interface, in an intercassette linker or in the C-terminal ATP pocket, affect this cross-talk in diverse ways. Together, our results reveal the structural and functional interplay between two helicase cassettes in a tandem superfamily 2 enzyme and point to several sites through which Brr2 activity may be regulated. |

Applause for South Central Railway kabaddi players for getting laurels to the sport
It was an evening to remember for the South Central Railway (SCR) trio, who had done the nation proud at the Guangzhou Asian Games last year.
Led by former Indian captain Tejaswini Bai, India had clinched gold in the kabaddi championship.
Backing the skipper in that triumphant campaign had been her national and SCR teammates Kalyani and Mamatha. Tejaswini had been decorated with the Arjuna award earlier.
At a recent function organised by the South Central Railway Sports Association (SCRSA), its kabaddi triumvirate were honoured for bringing pride and glory not only to the nation but to SCR as well.
Felicitating them were SCRSA President Pradeep Kumar, who's SCR's Principal Chief Engineer, its General Secretary K. Siva Prasad, who's Chief Freight Transport Manager and Secretary, Kabaddi, A.K. Singh.
Also feted on the occasion was K. Siva Prasad, General Secretary, who had been nominated as Head of Delegation of the Indian Railways basketball team, which participated in the 19th USIC basketball championship held at Verna, Bulgaria in September.
Watching his wards proudly from the sidelines was coach S. Danam Reddy, who had also coached another kabaddi Arjuna awardee, Neeta Dadhwe.
For over a decade, the coach has been training the SCR and Indian Railways kabaddi teams and is hugely instrumental in making South Central Railway the title-holder in the Indian Railways championships for six years in a row.
Kalyani, who broke into the Indian Railways squad last year, represented Andhra Pradesh for six years and like Tejaswini, is an all-rounder, good in attack and defence.
Mamatha Pujari, a raider, led India in the Beach Asian Games, besides representing the country in the SAF Games and the Asian championships.

This paper provides some empirical estimates on how tightly is it feasible to control inflation in a very small open economy such as Iceland. Estimated macroeconomic models of Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States are used to derive efficient monetary policy frontiers that trace out the locus of the lowest combinations of inflation and output variability that are achievable under a range of alternative monetary policy rules. These frontiers illustrate that inflation stabilization is more challenging in Iceland than in other industrial countries primarily because of the relative magnitudes of the economic shocks.

VHS Vednesday: Caravaggio
Okay, I know that so far, my "VHS Vednesday" reviews have focused mostly on low-budget thrillers of varying degrees of quality...but you know, just because a movie hasn't gotten a DVD release yet doesn't mean it's schlocky. So, this week, I'm going highbrow.
CARAVAGGIO (1986). Directed by Derek Jarman. Starring Nigel Terry, Sean Bean, Tilda Swinton, Robbie Coltrane, and Michael Gough.
The late British director Derek Jarman was known for his striking visual style--he was a painter and poet as well as a filmmaker. With his background in the arts, it's unsurprising that perhaps his most widely-known film would be about a great artist. Caravaggio stars Nigel Terry (an acclaimed British stage actor, most familiar to US audiences as King Arthur from John Boorman's Excalibur) as the famed Italian Baroque artist Michelangelo Caravaggio, in a predominantly fictionalized, symbolic account of the painter's life, from his childhood to his rise to fame to his exile and death. A young Sean Bean co-stars as Ranuccio Tomassoni; while there is little historic evidence for Caravaggio knowing Tomassoni before the 1606 brawl in which Caravaggio killed the younger man, Jarman presents a complex love-hate relationship between Caravaggio (the passionate artist) and Ranuccio (the streetwise, manipulative hustler). Recent Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton makes her film debut as the fictitious Lena, a gypsy prostitute who becomes Caravaggio's muse and Ranuccio's lover. In smaller roles, the familiar screen veteran Michael Gough brings his trademark gravitas to his portrayal of Caravaggio's patron Cardinal, and Robbie Coltrane is wonderfully slimy as the Pope's lecherous nephew.
While many of Jarman's films completely disregard conventional narrative (including such completely abstract works as The Last of England and The Garden), Caravaggio is one of his most straightforward pictures. However, several of Jarman's trademarks are still on display...deliberate anachronism, striking tableaux (sometimes both at once, as in a scene where one of Caravaggio's critics pounds out a scathing review on a typewriter, before settling back in his bath in a re-creation of Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat), and eloquent (occasionally sexually explicit) monologues. It's not for all tastes, perhaps, but I found it an engrossing viewing experience.
Who's Leaving This Off Their Resume?
No one. None of the people involved in this production have any reason not to be proud of it.

VHS Vednesday: Party Line
PARTY LINE (1988). Starring Richard Hatch, Shawn Weatherley, Leif Garrett, and Greta Blackburn.
It's a fact of life (and Hollywood) that any new fad or advancement in technology will serve as the basis of a thriller or horror movie (with the movie usually being released just as the fad's time has passed). Case in point: Party Line, an "erotic thriller" inspired by the advent of the 976 chat line.
Despite the impression given by the salacious video box cover above, the killers in this movie are actually preying on men (which makes for a refreshing change from most slasher fare). The killers in question are Seth (Leif Garrett) and Angelica (Greta Blackburn), a supremely dysfunctional brother-sister pair who take out their anger at their dead abusive father by striking at unfaithful husbands like him. Angelica lures the suckers into bed, and Seth makes short work of them with Daddy's straight razor.
Maverick cop Dan Bridges (Richard Hatch--the Battlestar Galactica guy, not the Survivor guy) gets pulled into the case when the psycho siblings claim a victim at the nightclub where he's keeping tabs on a pimp. The case gets personal when Dan's girlfriend, a motorcycle cop nicknamed "Butch" (Marty Dudek), has the misfortune of pulling Seth over for speeding and becoming collateral damage. Now, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy. Well, kind of. I like Richard Hatch, but if there's one thing he's not, it's a bad-ass. It's fun watching him try, though.
Of course, the movie tries to play up Dan's supposed bad-assery by hammering home the old trope of "maverick = good, by-the-book = bad." Even when it's pointed out that Dan's disregard of procedure and civil liberties ruined the D.A.'s case against a killer (and freed him to kill again), we're supposed to think that it's the D.A. who's the asshole. It's that kind of movie.
The high point of the movie is the twisted relationship of Seth and Angelina. Leif Garrett and Greta Blackburn play their scenes with gusto, with Garrett convincingly portraying Seth's cold menace...which dissipates into weak snivelling when his dominant sister confronts him. Plus, he's in drag for the final showdown. That's right, Leif Garrett as a psycho killer in a wedding dress. What more could you want? (Okay, you could want a better script, tighter direction, and a lot of other things...but you're getting Leif Garrett in a dress and you're liking it!)
Who's Leaving This Off Their Resume?
In addition to the aforementioned stars, the cast also includes Richard (Shaft) Roundtree as the traditional hard-ass police captain. It's a thankless role, but every cop movie's got to have one, if only to shout "You're off the case!" It's also interesting to see some performers more familiar for their voice work: Angela Gibbs (Sealab 2021) as a desk cop; Patricia Patts (the voice of Peppermint Patty in a couple of Peanuts specials) as a teenage party-line user who becomes a vital witness; and Terence McGovern (DuckTales) as one of Seth & Angelina's victims.

This past weekend, Dad's Garage Theatre Company began the new season of their improvised soap-opera SCANDAL! This time around, it's set against the backdrop of the American Revolution (which doesn't stop them from using characters from different eras, such as an immortal Spanish conquistador and a time-traveling high school student). As in past seasons, I've been taking notes and assembling the crazy goings-on into a weekly synopsis (given to the patrons to bring them up to speed on what happened last week). But NOW, I'm also putting them up on a blog, so even people who don't go to Dad's Garage can vicariously experience the madness that is SCANDAL!

Douglas Road Goes Off the (Metro) Rails
Douglas Road Goes Off the (Metro) Rails
Filed under: Scanner
In 2003 the Miami-Dade County Commission selected Miami banker and real estate developer Raul Masvidal to build on county-owned property near the Douglas Road Metrorail station. Masvidal and his partners, Pinnacle Housing and Royal Group Investments, promised a parking garage, a hotel, apartments, a theater, and a retail complex.
Three years of haggling later, Masvidal won't be building anything. The developer won't budge from his offer of $300,000 in annual rent, according to a transit agency memo prepared for the commission's October 10 regular meeting. The county's most recent appraisal determined the site could net $135 to $150 per square foot about one million more dollars than Masvidal's final offer. Masvidal also radically changed his development proposal, eliminating the theater and hotel components.
Masvidal, a prominent Cuban-American who helped orchestrate the deal that brought us the American Airlines Arena, declined to comment. Transit Director Roosevelt Bradley could not be reached. This past Tuesday, commissioners were supposed to approve or deny staff's request to end negotiations with Masvidal and rebid the project.
This is not the first time Masvidal has attempted to snooker the county into a bad deal. In 1999 he won a no-bid contract to build on land adjacent to the South Miami Metrorail station. Three years later, the Miami-Dade Housing Agency chose the site for its new office complex and gave Masvidal five million dollars in surtax funds as an "equity investment." Had the new office been completed, the agency would be paying three times the amount of its current rent.
To date, the South Miami project is more than eighteen months behind schedule and an estimated eight million dollars over budget and still no new office for the housing agency. County Manager George Burgess has since begun efforts to recoup the five million dollars from Masvidal, who blames the delays on the transit agency for failing to inform him about underground utility easements and encroachments on the property.

A PAC for the Masses
Filed under: Culture
The Carnival Center's opening gala, the "Concert for Miami," went off with only a minor hitch for the nominally best-seated audience members at the oval-shape Knight Concert Hall this past Thursday night. The performances were produced by Miami's crown prince and patron saint, Emilio Estefan; a simulcast of the show was broadcast on screens in the Ziff Ballet Opera House next door.
Emilio obviously considered the audience demographics, assembling the requisite fourteen-year-old Asian musical prodigy flown in from Juilliard to impress the old people who write big checks; Broadway legend Bernadette Peters to delight hordes of gay men via showtunes; and an unending cavalcade of Latin music superstars Carlos Vives and Arturo Sandoval and Cachao and Albita and, of course, Emilio's wife, Gloria. Even actor Andy Garcia showed up to play bongos. Jackie Gleason's wife told a touching story about her husband filming The Jackie Gleason Show in Miami Beach during the Sixties, long before Miami knew of the Carnival Center or the Asian piano kid or even the royal Estefans themselves. José Carreras then took the microphone, wailed out a few songs, and let everyone know what it sounds like when you can really sing.
So what of that glitch? My blind friend and I were seated in the supposedly prestigious (and certainly expensive) box seats, which were easily accessible for someone with limited mobility and so close to the stage you could spit your gum into a bassoon. That would seem to be a lucky break, right? Well, no. Because the Knight Concert Hall was designed for orchestral performances, seats go all the way around the stage; speakers hang in the center of the room but point only to the back, away from the stage away from where we were sitting. Gloria Estefan's opening numbers sounded like they were coming out of an AM radio. Worse, fog machines, attached to noisy generators positioned next to the box seats, ran throughout the show. It was so bad that people began walking out, until frantic Carnival Center managers uprooted the entire section and found open seats elsewhere. Cheap seats.
(This past Tuesday, Riptide attempted to interview Tateo Nakajima, the architect who supervised the tuning of the center's halls, about the sound at the show, but Nakajima's cell phone dropped several calls. Check our blog, Riptide 2.0, for updates.)
In the back, though, way up high in those cheap seats, the sound bounced off the roof, right down onto you and that much-ballyhooed sound was indeed fantastic for the entire show. Turns out the best seats in the Knight Center are the least expensive ones. Considering the stodgy reputation and high ticket prices performance arts such as ballet and opera have accumulated like so many barnacles to the stage over the decades, Thursday's scene a jubilant, upbeat display of happy, dancing spectators was a welcome departure. It would be nice to see the general public buying tickets, and here's a good incentive. If you go to the Knight which you should save your money and sit somewhere in the back. Drop the pomp and circumstance; just watch the show. Dan Renzi
A Voiceover Runs Through It
Filed under: Culture
Reading the New York Times a couple of weeks ago, I came upon Manohla Dargis's review of Old Joy, starring Will Oldham and directed by Kelly Reichardt, a Miamian. Dargis gushes that the movie is "a triumph of modesty and of seriousness that also happens to be one of the finest American films of the year." (Alas, it's not yet playing locally.) She also mentioned Reichardt's first film, River of Grass, which is set here in Miami. So I rented it and can only conclude that River of Grass was not one of the finest American films of 1995. Its narrative is heavily laden with voiceovers in which the main character, a disgruntled housewife named Cozy, asks ponderous and unanswerable questions about life and having children and driving the Palmetto Expressway.
The mix of extensive narration and prolonged silence indicates aspirations toward a subtropical Badlands, but the potency of Cozy's goth teenager philosophizing is diluted by a desperate avoidance of downers. Would-be criminals on the lam botch even their attempts to be bad guys (actual hot water could be depressing for the viewer), and we must suffer through a comedy of errors with very little comedy.
That said, the film is firmly planted in Miami-Dade County from the get-go: "I was born in 1962 at Coral Gables Hospital," says Cozy voiceover, of course and from then on we are treated to a visual ode to Miami. Aimless drifters drive zombielike past never-ending rows of low-slung bungalows; men in garish suits drink cocktails in dusky bars reminiscent of Fox's; an out-of-place visitor to the Miami-Dade Police Department balks at (real) photographs of gruesome Miami murders. Reichardt captures the aerial weave of highway interchanges against blue sky, and undulating ripples of tall grass in the Everglades waving in the wind. Like most of our days, the movie ends in a traffic jam.
To be fair, there were a few points that earned a guffaw, like when a getaway down Florida's Turnpike is thwarted by a lack of spare change for the toll. Or when Cozy is drinking domestic beer at a Broward bar and gives a dull glance at the man next to her.
"You're not from around here, are you?" she asks, taking a swig from the bottle and squinting like a bartender in a spaghetti western.
"No," he answers. He puts down his beer and shakes his head with the world-weary air of one who has been to Hell and back. "I'm from Dade." Emily Witt

"Magisterial sweep and scale."—The Independent (UK)
In November 1910, Count Lev Tolstoy died at a remote Russian railway station. At the time of his death, he was the most famous man in Russia, with a growing international following, and more revered than the tsar. Born into an aristocratic family, Tolstoy had spent his life rebelling against not only conventional ideas about literature and art but also traditional education, family life, organized religion, and the state.
In this, the first biography of Tolstoy in more than twenty years, Rosamund Bartlett draws extensively on key Russian sources, including much fascinating material made available since the collapse of the Soviet Union. She sheds light on Tolstoy's remarkable journey from callow youth to writer to prophet; discusses his troubled relationship with his wife, Sonya; and vividly evokes the Russian landscapes Tolstoy so loved and the turbulent times in which he lived. Above all, Bartett gives us an eloquent portrait of the brilliant, maddening, and contrary man who has once again been discovered by a new generation of readers.
