What is it that makes a Jedi a "fully-trained" Jedi Knight? What is it that makes a Sith Lord? What really differentiates a Sith from a Jedi who gives in to the dark side? Is it "kewl powarz" with the Force? Skill with the lightsaber? Length of training? Mental discipline? All of the above? How important is each factor relative to the others? IMO, the movies themselves seem kinda fuzzy on the matter. For example, despite having approximately half the duration of training, Tyranus could use Force lightning while Maul apparently could not. Luke Skywalker's training was considered dangerously incomplete in ESB, despite displaying abilities that full-blown Council Masters didn't have in the PT after a lifetime of learning. He then goes back to Dagobah for additional training, and Yoda essentially says "naw…ur good, bro!" Darth Vader spent a quarter century learning from Sidious…to be able to do exactly the same stuff he could do at the end of RotS without any training whatsoever. In a related vein, given the constant warnings in the OT about the dangers of the dark side and the ease with which you can succumb to temptation, what's the difference between a Jedi who loses their **** (Vader in RotS) and a Dark Lord of the Sith (Vader in the OT)? Discuss. EDIT: I'd orginally posted this in Saga with a movies-only slant. However, I will now abuse my Modly powers by moving this discussion to Lit.
Based only on the movies, as you say, I can guess that a sith is no more tan a title. If a jedi goes nuts on his own he falls to the Dark Side, but is not a sith because there´s no sith master to name him. When Anakin suddenly turns, Darth Sidious inmediately changes his name and gives him the Darth title, therefore officially acknowledging him as a sith. I know you said non-EU stuff, but the scene in the original animated TCW where Asajj Ventress is introduced comes to mind regarding this matter. She introduces herself to Dooku as a sith but he laughs at her face and says she´s no sith. According to my theory, that´s because she hasn´t yet been accepted into the sith order. Now, about the Knight / Master / Lord question. My guess from the movies is that a jedi knight is someone who not only does have full control over the Force, but also understands his responsabilities and is prepared to act like a real jedi. Anakin was obviously powerful, but his arrogance and recklesness kept him from being promoted from padawan until the Clone Wars, and only because the jedi desperately needed more members. Which is what happens to Luke: despite being reckless, failing continous tests due to his impatience and going to fight Vader, Yoda accepts him as a full jedi because he has no other choice. Regarding the sith, I guess it depends on the skills of the apprentice. Maul was really skilled with the lightsaber, but we barely saw his control over the Force, yet he was regarded by Sidious as Lord.
From the movies alone what do we know of the Jedi, and the Sith? Yoda doesn't accept Luke as a jedi in ROTJ. He says he still has to confront Vader (not kill, I will highlight, but confront). Luke understands what it is to be a Jedi when he refuses to use his power to sate his own emotions (at the time anger, hatred) and even to protect his own life (throwing down his lightsabre, as Obi-Wan says to Anakin in AOTC "this weapon is your life"). Anakin also tells us in ROTS that the Jedi think of others, whereas the Sith think inwardly, of themsleves. Anakin falls to the darkside in order to save what he wants to save, what he can't live without. "Attachment, the shadow of greed that is" - he is thinking of his own desire to save Padmé for him, he betrays everything she has fought for and believes in to save her for him; she has become as a possession of his. So becoming a Jedi is about discipline, about - if you like - losing ones own self within the Force. Being a Sith is about concentrating on one's own desires, about looking inwardly and exhalting the self. We see in ROTS that first flush of power that Anakin feels when deciding to do what he wants with all that power, but afterwards..... he becomes a slave to it. I feel that Vader is an anomaly within the Sith - given what we see with Sidious and Dooku.
Thank you!!! Every time I hear someone spout off that Luke was either half-trained, or trained only to be an assassin of some sort, I remind people of this, as well as Yoda's admonishment that "only a fully-trained Jedi Knight…will conquer Vader and his Emperor." Perhaps then, what distinguishes a Jedi Padawan/Knight/Master or a Sith initiate from [Mace Windu]a Sith…Lord?[/Mace Windu] is not their "feats of Force," but their level of self-mastery. In ESB, Luke could do pretty much anything a PT-era Council Master could do (and a few things they couldn't) but lacked patience, detachment, and faith in his abilities. Oh, he had arrogance about his abilities, thinking he could face down Vader and save his friends. But if he had faith in his abilities, he would've gone into the cave unarmed, and could've levitated his ship. Thus, he was considered dangerously untrained. Ironically, Vader did complete Luke's training, by literally beating some sense into him. Similarly, in RotS, I'd say that Vader was literally drunk with power, but had no self-control. I think it's in the RotS novelization where Sidious says something to the effect of "the Jedi use understanding to gain power, and the Sith use power to gain understanding."
Luke didn't exactly conquer them though- Vader turned on the Emperor and killed him. Even at the end of RoTJ, a case can be made that Luke had far less training than other Jedi Knights had.
Of the three beings who started out that confrontation, who survived? *EDIT: Funny aside, can you imagine the sheer panic about the second Death Star at this scene: "Holy ****!!! Is that somebody carrying Darth ****ing Vader?!?!? We're screwed!!!"
This is only relevant for those that feel that Jedi training is about the power one wields - and that was, after all, a part of Anakin's downfall. We hear it often from the Sith.. "I am/have become more powerful tha any Jedi..." The clue as to what it means to be a Jedi is in Luke's own recognition. He throws down his weapon and states that he won't turn to the Darkside; "I am a Jedi, like my Father before me". He understood what it was to be a Jedi, and it wasn't about his ability to fight with a lightsabre.
Not just that- there's other bits to it- knowledge about the Force. If it takes Old Republic Jedi 20 years to complete their training- what do they learn that Luke doesn't?
I object to the definition of "Non-EU" given here, in that I think it's pretty safe to say that Clone Wars is not EU.
Telepathy, the ability to see the future, and, apparently, the ability to find a planet without the use of any sort of navigational device.
Let's look at this from another angle: as I said in the OP, Vader spent roughly a quarter-century learning the Sith Arts from Sidious to be able to accomplish exactly the same "feats of Force" he was able to do prior to Sidious teaching him anything. Unless you're saying that Sidious taught Vader how to Force choke and taught him nothing else ever again.
Yes they can. Watch the Jedi Council scenes in TPM, for example. Just because we don't see anyone except Anakin having visions, doesn't mean they can't. Also keep in mind that their ability to use the Force has diminished with the rise of the Sidious. Luke, is, of course, naturally gifted, but it's still not enough to overcome deficiency in his training when facing a Sith Lord. He actually got lucky Vader didn't want to kill him. Imagine if it was Darth Maul Dagobah? I thought it was R2...
The only Council Master who seems to be able to see the future is Yoda. And R2 asks about navigating to Dagobah, & Luke says "I got this."
I'd say it's all of the above. Except the "cool powers". It's more about how they are used. Even if Maul couldn't use Force lightning (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence), we have to take into account that Dooku was a Jedi during all his life. All that background + 10 years of Sith training, I don't see it as an inconsistency. I'm not sure what abilites does he have that Council Masters didn't. Indeed. I never completely understood that either. My guess is that he felt Luke had become mature enough (self discipline) since he last saw him. How do we know that? I never saw Anakin being able to kill (or affect) someone with the Force through a viewscreen, for example. What do you mean? P.S: Thanks for a non-EU thread. We should see this more often.
Assume for a second that you're right. I don't think you are, but for sake of discussion… The Council Masters have the capacity to see the future, but can't because of the Force slipping out of balance. That makes Luke even more powerful than the Council Masters, because he could see the future when the Force is even more screwed up. As far as Luke vs. Maul, I get the feeling that Luke would've benefitted from having the same choreographer as Maul You're actually making my point for me; it's not at all inconsistent. I'd say that being a Sith Lord or Jedi Knight isn't as much about length of training or what tricks can be performed with the Force, but more about emotional maturity and self-discipline.
You're actually making my point for me; it's not at all inconsistent. I'd say that being a Sith Lord or Jedi Knight isn't as much about length of training or what tricks can be performed with the Force, but more about emotional maturity and self-discipline.[/quote] couldn't agree more. I believe it has much more to do with maturity and emotional control. I also believe it is done on a case by case basis, no real "set" time. it also seems that padawans were sometimes rushed into things due to the ever increasing instability of the galaxy.
This was a huge missed opportunity in the prequels. Not only did we learn nothing about the training of a Jedi in the PT, we learned nothing about the training of a Sith other than slaughtering children and separatist leaders. Think back to ESB and what we learn from Yoda's training. Who wouldn't have loved to see the dark side equivalent of that -- and take care of such exposition we never get as the history of the Sith, who they are, what their philosophy is, how they differ from the Jedi, etc. Huge missed opportunity.
So I guess you have no curiosity for good storytelling (which is apparent by your blind zombie-like defense of garbage). LOL. Just like "The Prophecy". What is it exactly? Who wrote it? When? What exactly does it say? Who are the Sith? Why do they hate the Jedi? How are they different from the Jedi? We're told they are "almost alike in every way" but then not told how they are different. What exactly is their philosophy? Not going to find it in-movie... Nope, they're just bad guys for some reason and hate the Jedi for some reason. Good enough! Hell Marvel Comics do a better job of establishing motivation for the villains and those are frigging comic books! Do you think a person who is new to the saga will not be confused by and disinterested in this poor storytelling? Thanks to poor story telling, the audience is left without knowledge of things they should know about and it's left to novels and comic books to clean up the mess. You know Arwyn your posts really have devolved and now you're pretty much just a blind homer...
You seem to be missing the point. It says what the films say that it says. Because the Jedi stole their girlfriends? You were supposed to get that from watching the films. If you can't see any difference, that's your problem. Why would bad people hate those less bad than themselves? Does not make sense! Were the original viewers of the OT, which also failed to spoon-feed the audience, confused and disinterested?
False. You need to watch the PT again. Assuming that is required for good storytelling (which it isn't). Such argumentative capabilities only reduce your credibility.

Denominational Responses to Homosexuality
A sampling of denominational actions shows the depth of feeling. The largest Protestant body, the Southern Baptist Convention, meeting in Houston, Texas, on June 15-17, issued vehement and unprecedented condemnations of Pres. Bill Clinton and Vice Pres. Al Gore, both members of the Convention, because the new administration gave signs of supporting homosexual rights in the military and elsewhere. The ultraconservative Presbyterian Church in America, in its summer Assembly in Columbia, S.C., showed an extremely rare kind of intrusion into another body's life when it asked the Christian Reformed Church, also quite conservative, to repent of its "departure from the Scriptures in doctrine and practice" over issues like tolerance for homosexuality.
At the General Assembly of the larger and mainstream Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), held in Orlando, Fla., on June 2-9, no other topic attracted as much notice and heat as did homosexuality. In 1991 the church had said in an "authoritative" statement that homosexuality is "not God's wish for humanity." The statement was not strong enough for the antigay forces but was violently denounced by those on the other side. The flagship Presbyterian school, Princeton Theological Seminary, did not clarify the situation when it issued two competing documents. One, signed by the president and a hundred others, opposed homosexual expression, while the second asked for "rethinking," keeping open the possibility of changing the church body's view. Presbyterians have analogues to the militant secular ACT UP movement, Presbyterians for Lesbian and Gay Concerns (and even one called Presbyterian ACT UP), who pressed for the licensing of openly practicing gay and lesbian ministers for ordination. The delegates responded by chartering a churchwide study.
It could be said that the only denominations to escape controversy in the summer of 1993 were those that did not meet--not all do every year--or that evaded and postponed the issue through resolutions to rethink it. Nowhere were there signs that the issue was quieting. It is also useful to note that the movement to ordain gays and lesbians and the endorsements of homosexual lifestyles had originally been chiefly promoted by elected and appointed officers, seminary professors, task forces, and denominational elites. When lay reaction, and even strong backlash, developed against their expressions and moves, there was muffling and retreat in the leadership, which feared denominational schism or at least disruption at a time when all groups were already suffering some membership losses for other reasons.
No Easy Answers
To the homosexual rights forces, such strategic delay and reconsideration looked like a denial of the religious message. Using analogies to the civil rights movement, comparisons that nonactivists were less ready to make, they argued that the prophetic voice of church and synagogue dare not count ballots or listen to polls but rather must respond to the divine call and reinterpret the ancient texts. They were met by others who were sure that the call did not include affirmation of homosexuality--though "we must love the homosexual persons"--and that the religious texts were too clear to be reinterpretable.
Between those two camps were the majority of members. Some of these believers gave signals that they wished the issue would simply go away. Many followed the quiet promptings of their hearts, no matter what partisans or texts might say. Still others voted for rethinking and hoped the result would be that which would serve the will of God and the rights and needs of people. What the results of reconsiderations, postponements, confrontations, and rethinking would be no one could foresee. They could know only that some day there had to be reckoning and resolution. The new moderator of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), David Lee Dobler, said, "I believe that the middle will hold on this." He and his kind would be given little peace by activists--"voices on the edges," he called them--on both sides, who were not to be satisfied by a middle way.

The Utah Shakespeare Festival has embarked on an exciting new initiative to produce the entire canon of Shakespeare's thirty-eight plays between 2012 and 2023. During these years, you may have more than one opportunity to see such plays as The Taming of the Shrew and King Lear, but productions of plays such as this year's Henry IV Part Two and The Two Gentlemen of Verona will definitely be more rare. So start planning now; you don't want to miss a single experience.
As part of the Complete-the-Canon Project, the Festival is producing all ten of Shakespeare's history plays in chronological order, beginning in 2013 with King John and Richard II and in 2014 with Henry IV Part One, then continuing this year with Henry IV Part Two, and in the future with Henry V, Henry VI Part One, Henry VI Part Two, Henry VI Part Three, Richard III, and Henry VIII.
One of the goals of the History Cycle is to give a cohesiveness to these plays that will be engaging and dramatic.

Hello; it's nice to see you again. Last week the IPO market took one of its periodic summer breaks, effectively awarding itself a collective vacation to spend some of the estimated $31.5 billion in proceeds it took in for the first half of 2014. That, by the way, is almost 53% higher than the tally at the same time last year.
If this week is any indication, that percentage will stay nice and chunky. Between now and Friday, 11 companies are slated to go public, with eight of them expected to take in over $50 million from their offerings. Here's a look at three of these issues.
A word of warning before we pull back the curtain, though. IPO investing carries above-average risk, as initial stock prices can be far from the value the market eventually puts on the company's shares. This provides great upside potential, but on the flip side it also carries the risk of losing a substantial part of an investment.
Roka BioScience
It's going to be a good week for biopharma IPOs; seven of the 11 scheduled issues are in the sector. The largest is likely to be Roka BioScience, a company that specializes in diagnostic solutions that detect foodborne pathogens. According to the firm, this is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment of the food safety testing market, which totals around $2 billion at present.
Roka BioScience's IPO is scheduled for Thursday. Five million shares will go on sale for $14 to $16 apiece, and the stock should list on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol ROKA. The lead underwriters of the issue are Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Cowen Group's Cowen and Company, Wedbush PacGrow Life Services, and Leerink Partners.
TerraForm Power
A hot trend in the renewable-energy space lately has been the yieldco, in which a big producer hives off selected assets into a separate company that distributes the bulk of its profits as dividends. This is analogous to the master limited partnerships currently popular in the oil and gas industry. The large entity in this case is SunEdison (NYSE: SUNE ) , and the result is going to be the solar-focused TerraForm Power. As of this past March, SunEdison had around 1.9 gigawatts of solar generation assets under management spread across 900 facilities in 12 countries.
Nearly 20.1 million shares of TerraForm Power will hit the market on Friday, priced at $19 to $21 per share. The stock's ticker symbol will be TERP, and it will trade on the Nasdaq. Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) , Barclays, Citigroup (NYSE: C ) , JPMorgan Chase's (NYSE: JPM ) J.P. Morgan, and Macquarie Capital are the leaders of the big underwriting syndicate.
Well, this is a unique niche. Trupanion provides health insurance that covers everyone's favorite non-human members of the household -- cats and dogs. The firm sells its products via monthly subscription, and it seems there's a robust market for such policies. The top line grew from $19 million in 2010 to almost $77 million last year, and although the company hasn't been profitable, its number of four-legged friends enrolled rose from around 57,000 to 170,000 in that time frame.
Trupanion's stock market debut is to take place on Friday. Just over 7.1 million shares will be sold at $13 to $15 apiece. Royal Bank of Canada's (NYSE: RY ) RBC Capital Markets, Barclays, and Stifel are the lead underwriters, and the stock should list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TRUP.
You can't afford to miss this
"Made in China" -- an all too familiar phrase. But not for much longer: There's a radical new technology out there, one that's already being employed by the U.S. Air Force, BMW, and even Nike. Respected publications like The Economist have compared this disruptive invention to the steam engine and the printing press; Business Insider calls it "the next trillion-dollar industry." Watch The Motley Fool's shocking video presentation to learn about the next great wave of technological innovation, one that will bring an end to "Made in China" for good. Click here!

L'actualité is a Canadian French-language news and general interest magazine published in Montreal by Les Éditions Rogers, which is owned by Rogers Communications. The magazine has over a million readers, according to Canada's Print Measurement Bureau, from its circulation which is mainly subscribers. Eighty-six percent of its readership are Québécois.
The magazine came into being when Maclean Hunter, publisher of Maclean's, acquired the mailing list of the defunct Actualité magazine in the 1970s, and merged it with its own French-language edition, Le Maclean. Maclean Hunter was acquired by Rogers Communications in the 1990s.
Journalist Jean Paré was the editor-in-chief of L'actualité until 1998. The magazine has published special reports on the regulation of genetically modified organisms, the rise of the Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ), the rehabilitation process of soldiers and the story of Captain Simon Mailloux, the record of the Quebec welfare state and on the possible legalization of sharia law in Ontario.
L'actualité publishes a ranking of high schools in Quebec which compares private schools with public ones. The Centrale des syndicats du Québec is opposed to these rankings, believing that they tend to overstate the attractiveness of private schools. Former Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa holds the record for appearing the most often on the cover of the magazine, with ten appearances. Former Prime Minister of Canada Jean Chrétien, former Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau, Pope John Paul II and singer Céline Dion have also often appeared on the cover of the magazine.

Women's Health and Wellness the Focus of Conference this Friday
By Cheril Lee
Omaha, NE – The 13th annual Omaha Women's Health and Wellness Conference takes place Friday at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs. Sponsored by the Olson Center for Women's Health, the event includes workshops, exhibitions, and several guest speakers.
Lana Molczyk is Coordinator for the Olson Center for Women's Health. Molczyk says each year the conference theme is created based on input from the previous year's post-event survey. She says this year's theme is "Surviving and Thriving: Finding Strength in Difficult Times". She says workshops will focus on a variety of issues including divorce, workplace survival and PTSD. The breakfast keynote speaker is Fred Wilson, a survivor of the 2007 shooting at Von Maur. Molczyk says, "His whole message is about living in the moment because you just never know what might happen in the next moment that might change your life forever."

"Raising the Bar" The Complete First Season DVD Review Buy from Amazon.com Buy The Complete Second Season
In the TNT drama series "Raising the Bar", Mark-Paul Gosselaar's hair is the longest it's been in fifteen years. "Raising the Bar" is Gosselaar's fifth regular series since "Bell" and though this legal series co-created and executive-produced by Steven Bochco ("Hill Street Blues", "L.A. Law", "NYPD Blue") regularly deals with life and death lawsuits, it's Gosselaar's shoulder-length brunette locks that have gotten the most attention from viewers. That strange fact is less the product of audience superficiality than of the slight substance in Bochco's program. Gosselaar's hair stands out and doubly so because so little else does. It regularly raises the question: what kind of a lawyer goes to bat for clients, expecting to be taken seriously while looking like that?
The answer appears to be only Jerry Kellerman, a Manhattan public defender as principled as he is shaggy. Kellerman believes in the pursuit of truth and opposes anything that stands in the way of it. While he's aware of courtroom games that must be played, he always holds his non-paying clients' interests first, whining and monologuing as needed. Fulfilling similar duties is Richard Woolsley (Teddy Sears), a colleague who deserves to be nicknamed "Preppy." Despite the clean-cut look and the financial stability it reflects, Woolsley also devoutly believes in his calling. He scoffs at his father's standing invitation to his private firm. Both Jerry and Richard answer to Roz Whitman (Gloria Reuben of early "ER" seasons), a soft-spoken and agreeable boss, largely reduced to infrequent behind-desk sightings. Also in the ranks is Bobbi Gilardi (Natalia Cigliuti), a new hiring from Brooklyn who quickly moves from securing favors to trying cases, all the while providing an unsubtle hint of love interest as the troubles of her marriage become clear.
On the other side are those working out of the district attorney's office. Most prominent is pretty Michelle Ernhardt (Melissa Sagemiller), who's committed to earning first chair assignments. Marcus McGrath (J. August Richards) keeps the sides' numbers even and cast diversity up. Their boss, D.A. Nick Balko (Currie Graham), has soft spots for good press and on-the-job sexual harassment.
In the middle is relentlessly tough judge Trudy Kessler (Jane Kaczmarek, "Malcolm in the Middle"), a woman with a low tolerance for anything other than her perspective and instincts. Trudy has an adoring law clerk in Charlie Sagansky (Jonathan Scarfe). Their relationship isn't limited to chambers, nor are his trysts restricted to ladies.
The series is more about the law than the lawyers, especially at first. Cases unfold with our sympathy lying with the public defender's office, Despite the emphasis on legal processes, there's still some room for sexual liaisons and regular socialization among the often willing to compromise (i.e. settle) opposite sides. Apparently, everyone went to law school together, although that fact is established more in official publicity materials than in watching the show. Nevertheless, it explains why all gather together for drinks and discussion of deals and some pursue relationships without strong ethical consideration.
"Raising the Bar" isn't terrible. I'm not sure the legal drama genre could yield such disappointment without tremendous miscalculation and failings. This series doesn't suffer from those. It simply lacks anything to make it stand out. The forgettable characters are identified by just one trait (gender, principles, demeanor) and even when introducing compelling moral ambiguity, the cases that occupy the cast feel familiar and their resolutions foreseeable. I haven't seen enough of Bochco's shows to fit this into a critical overview of his long, lauded career. But here it seems that the showrunner has lost what it takes to cut it on network television (a medium he's claimed to have moved away due to changing tastes). And yet, there is no edginess or creativity to identify this as being cable fare. With such features, is it any wonder that discussion moves to Zack Morris' new hairstyle?
Speaking of which, the people's complaints have been heard and Gosselaar will rock shorter hair in the new season, which begins airing on June 8th. Six days earlier, production company ABC Studios releases The Complete First Season DVD, holding ten episodes of greasy-haired glory. The episodes are apparently arranged by production order, not TNT's airdates, which only entails swapping Episodes 3 and 4.

1. Pilot (44:05) (Originally aired September 1, 2008)
2. Guatemala Gulfstream (43:02) (Originally aired September 8, 2008)

6. Hang Time (42:58) (Originally aired October 6, 2008)
7. A Leg to Stand On (42:59) (Originally aired October 13, 2008)
8. Out on the Roof (42:58) (Originally aired October 20, 2008)
Disc 3
9. Roman Holiday (42:58) (Originally aired October 27, 2008)
10. Shop Till You Drop (42:57) (Originally aired November 3, 2008)
VIDEO and AUDIO
Like almost all modern TV dramas, "Raising the Bar" is treated like a feature film to 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen video and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. Both satisfy, particularly the picture, which delivers the high-contrast visuals with terrific clarity and no evident shortcomings. The audio mixes do nothing to confirm that they're prepared with five distinct channels in mind. But the front-dominated tracks do a fine job of distributing dialogue and music. One oddity which was especially noticeable on a few episodes is a strange audio skip that seems to occur in the utterly brief theme tune. Maybe that's deliberate and edgy?
BONUS FEATURES, MENUS and PACKAGING
A pair of Disc 2 audio commentaries provide different perspectives on the series. Creators/producers Steven Bochco and David Feige are joined by Bochco's son Jesse, a co-executive producer and occasional director, on their discussion of "Bagels and Locks." The three are unable to sustain a 43-minute talk and spend some of the time throwing praise at the cast, crew, and themselves. They do sound off on the series' look, cable's ability to tackle difficult issues like a pedophiliac client, and some of the logistics and legality depicted.
Seven actors gather together for the "Out on the Roof" commentary: Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jane Kaczmarek, Currie Graham, Gloria Reuben, Natalia Cigliuti, Teddy Sears, and J. August Richards. Theirs is a far livelier, more laugh-filled track. It's more informative, as the cast shares production tidbits about deleted scenes, extras, and techniques used to make Los Angeles look like Manhattan. It's also much more entertaining, as we get some "Mystery Science Theater 3000"-style riffing and dubbing plus topics of human interest like Gosselaar's hairstyle, Currie's resemblance to Kevin Spacey, actor heights and wardrobe.
Three video extras turn up on Disc 3. Strange in this digital age, each of them is not enhanced for 16:9 displays but letterboxed.
"Sworn Testimony: True Stories of a Public Defender" (13:44) is a standard format making-of that doles out a satisfactory amount of substance. We hear from Feige and Bochco on the project's origins, the use of true stories and real cases stemming from Feige's experiences. The cast discuss the benefit of having Feige on hand to answer questions and all address the series' themes and issues.
"Behind the Bar: An After Hours Roundtable with the Cast" (13:14) rounds up six actors: Sears, Cigliuti, Richards, Gosselaar, Kaczmarek, and Graham. Here, we get to see the levity and rapport heard in the commentary. Among the topics raised are their audition processes, Bochco's "hidden" political stances, their characters and motivations, and the system being dramatized. Group pieces such as this are a welcome alternative to the one-talking-head-at-a-time design that has become the norm.
The extras conclude with "Mistrials: Bloopers from Season One" (1:54). This reel partially arranges its goofs by actor, setting the lot to some jazzy music. It's so tightly edited that we don't get the joke most of the time, but it's too short to mind.
Disc One launches with ads for "Army Wives": The Complete Second Season, Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Proposal, and Cheri. Disc Three loads with a commercial for the new season of "Raising the Bar." The third disc's Sneak Peeks menu holds the Disc 1 trailers plus promos for Blu-ray Disc and SOAPnet.
The menus are just as forgettable as the show itself. Main screens run with a visually muted montage while the rest simply loop instrumental score to static images.
The clear standard-sized keepcase is housed in a redundant cardboard slipcover. Inside, ads for Buena Vista Blu-ray and the second seasons of "Army Wives" and "Raising the Bar" are tucked away between the two sides of discs. When those discs are removed, they reveal the reverse cover artwork provides lists of episodes and bonus features plus some additional still photography.
Is it too easy to say that "Raising the Bar" raises no bar? At least it doesn't quite lower it. This may be adequate as far as TNT dramas go. But there's little to distinguish "Raising" from lesser legal shows that have come before it. I can't recommend trying to see every episode or buying this DVD. A better bet may be tuning in Monday nights this summer to see if it's gotten any better, but even that doesn't sound like a great use of your time. The show is so one-track that you get the same experience ten times over here. Watch a single episode, with its overlooked victims, legal wrangling, and snappy banter taking you from court to jail to offices and back. It will be as if you've seen them all.
"Raising the Bar" isn't Gosselaar's first brush with legal drama. Twenty years earlier, he starred in the WonderWorks movie Necessary Parties, playing a young teen who goes to court to stop his parents from divorcing. I can't even begin to define how much I'd rather see that than Season 2.
If, however, you are a fan and enough so to shell out $3 an episode, the DVD should keep you happy with its fine presentation and solid handful of bonus features.

That was the last time he played Zack Morris, the famed protagonist of three TV shows and 2 telemovies, a role he's hardly talked about since his "Saved by the Bell" run ended in 1994. But it's not bleached blonde now, which means he's doing drama, his preferred genre since 1998's college comedy Dead Man on Campus.
its quest to uncover justice for underprivileged underdogs, and the noble but trite idealism that drives them. Redeeming values abound, both in the lawyers and the predominantly black defendants. Even the prosecutors bent on imprisoning those more guilty of circumstance than malice aren't vilified. The same medium which requires a degree of photogenicism in all lawyers is also responsible for playing up legal theatricality over true procedure. While most television series invite occupational sympathy, I get the feeling that real lawyers would be bothered by what's passing for realism. But then, co-creator/producer David Feige spent nearly fifteen years as a New York City public defender and clearly must draw from this substantial experience.
Jerry represents an accused rapist he believes was erroneously identified.
Richard seeks a deal from the D.A.'s office in exchange for testimony against a serial rapist.
Watch a clip from the "Raising the Bar" pilot:
Michelle wants a break from Jerry when they go against each other in her first murder trial. The case is complicated by a key witness from Guatemala with an outstanding warrant from 15 years ago. Richard tries an assault case spawned from a high school love triangle.
Whether it's considered homicide or manslaughter, a case carrying unusual ramifications for the D.A.'s office, the public defenders, and Rosalind prepares for trial with neither side wanting to settle. Jerry represents a mother being coerced to testify in a murder trial.
Jerry jockeys to get a psychiatric institution bed for a friend/client (guest Shane Johnson) otherwise facing jail time. Richard defends a lady involved in a skirmish while trying to cash a check.
Against Balco, Jerry defends a man who claims he raped but didn't murder an 8-year-old boy. Bobbi tries to reunite a drug supplier suspect with his new wife.
Bobbi tries to help a poor, young married couple (Josh Stewart, Ashley Johnson) wanting domestic assault charges dropped. Jerry represents a man charged with armed robbery born out of a car accident.
Jerry's client opts for a bench trial in his mugging case. Bobbi defends an amputee war hero medicating himself with heroin. Richard clicks with a client/neo-burlesque dancer/law student (Jud Tylor).
Charlie's secret fling (Wilson Cruz of "My So-Called Life") gets Jerry to handle his drug bust case. Marcus reconsiders making a deal with a teenager accused of robbing a liquor store, suspecting he's a patsy.
Against Michelle and an arrogant co-prosecutor (guest Erik Palladino), Jerry defends an HIV-positive activist charged with spitting at a police officer.
Richard and Bobbi represent a 14-year-old boy who will be tried for murder for acting in concert. Facing an Italian vacation with Trudy, Charlie comes out.
When a decision is reversed and neither side will compromise, Jerry and Roz prepare a retrial for a disgraced firefighter. Richard represents a shopaholic senior in dangerous debt. Judge Kessler re-evaluates her relationship with Charlie. Bobbi is troubled by news about her husband.

Topics of Interest Makeup
Does it ever feel like this organic obsession has gone overboard? It seems everything is going organic these days — even clothes and makeup. I certainly didn't see that coming. I mean… MAKEUP? Come on. Cosmetics are only used on a portion of the skin, right? And how toxic could they be?
The answer is very. After doing some serious research, I came across a cosmetics safety database that allows you to search a company and find out its "toxicity" scoring. Not only was it fun to peruse, it also made me realize how misinformed I was…

Increasing Testicle Blood Flow
December 2008
Posts: 129
Obviously the Aneros increases blood flow to the prostate which is the main reason I got it, but I'd also like to increase the bloodflow to my testicles. I'm sure using the Aneros will do this to a degree because it's increasing the flow in the general area but is there anything else that can help increase my testicular blood flow? Thanks!

Is there a problem with yours? I can tell you i have for years massaged my scrotum with my hands and even i use a Scalp massage brush once i get the scrotum soft and warm. I cant believe how much pleasure this produces too but you have to be cautious to not over do it as you can get rug burn type irritation. I use the scalp brush about once a week i love it.
I notice that when i become aroused not only do i get an erection but i can actually feel the scrotum swell up its a very noticeable tingly sensation. I shave my scrotum too by the way this allows for better massaging i have been doing this since around age 16 i am 28 and my skin down there is soo smooth and silky.
I cant really describe how i use it but i will try. I first massage the testis and the scrotum becomes relaxed. I then grab the penis with one hand and pull it up then i get the brush in other hand and face bristles towards me with a slight downward angle and slowly brush down the scrotum and once all the way down i face the brush up under the scrotum and pull upwards with one hand and massage behind the brush with other hand.
I do this over and over till satisfied its great and i feel it greatly increased blood flow to the area in my years of using this method i have no problems but be careful new users to this method might over do it.
If i could find a safe place to host a video i could make a min video of how i use the brush.
Here is a pic of the one i use. Oh and the older the brush gets if you use it in the same directions over time gets better and better as the bristles become slanted a little and the plastic brush becomes softer.

xtube.com is a good place to host videos of anything genital related or sexual in nature.
I haven't ever done much with my scrotum in terms of brushing or massaging, but I do like to sometimes stretch it out or lightly stroke it.

"Cohen has integrated primary and secondary sources into a fascinating portrait of a family, a nation and an era that is not only an informative historical text but also a great read. The Neppi Modonas were relatives of Cohen's father who she visited in Florence for brief periods beginning when she was 12 . . . Cohen also explores the meaning of Judaism in Italy in general, including a charming account of the year she and her sister attended Rosh Hashanah services in Florence." —Publishers Weekly
A polyvocal memoir chronicling the experiences of one Jewish family in fascist Italy, as reconstructed from diaries and interviews by a young cousin.
This fascinating tapestry of four interwoven voices documents the experiences of each member of an Italian Jewish family during World War II. Kate Cohen, a distant relative, masterfully juxtaposes the memoirs of Aldo, the Neppi Modona patriarch, his son Leo's "fictionalized" account, and the oral histories of the mother, Rachel, and the daughter, Lionella. The result is both rich and revealing, an account of a perilous and disturbing period that also illuminates how each individual lived a different war and kept conflicting memories of it. An academic by profession, Aldo is also a member of the Fascist Party at the time his memoir begins. Cohen seeks to unravel this seeming paradox and finds that for Jews in Italy, who by the end of the First World War had experienced several generations of freedom and prosperity, Fascism was a way to express love for the Fatherland and opposition to the Bolshevik upheaval. But Aldo's nationalist loyalty cannot ward off the anti-Semitism that follows with terrifying speed Mussolini's alliance with Hitler. The family's initial recollections of the heartache created by the "racial laws" soon expand from discrimination and suppression into real hardships: displacement, deprivation, bombings, blackouts, rationing, to hiding for their lives during the German occupation. The polyphonic voice of the narrative communicates with wrenching vividness the Neppi Modonas' pain and strength, and at the same time, through Cohen's mediating consciousness, provides insights into being a Jew in a post-Holocaust world.
From the Book:
"But didn't I know I was Jewish, and didn't you know and didn't everyone know? And if I have had the honor of fighting at your side wasn't I also subject to the same duties, with the obligation to fulfill them scrupulously just like you? . . . So think whether my enthusiasm for the Fascist movement was sincere, the movement that gave us liberty again, that made our hearts beat anew with passion and pride, that made spiritual values honorable!
"Deep within himself, each one asked question upon question, and felt a discomfort inside, an agony he had never felt; it seemed like an awakening from a lethargy. But then was it all a trick, bad faith to call us Italians, an ongoing fiction since birth -- parents, relatives, everyone complicit?"
-- from the writings of Aldo Neppi Modona: classical scholar, WWI veteran, early member of the Fascist party, and a Jew

I guess it is quite likely that I have an anterior placenta. I just looked it up and it said it is not a problem to have one and that the placenta usually moves during pregnancy, and the only effect is that it makes it harder to feel the baby's early kicks.
so maybe that is it. |

COLUMBIA — Maroua Jawadi shaded her eyes from the sun as she stood behind a small, black chalkboard listing ice pop flavors of hibiscus raspberry, spicy pineapple and Hawaiian sweet potato at the Columbia Farmers' Market.
Jawadi began making her own ice pops in an attempt to provide a healthier alternative for her two children. In July of 2012, she began selling organic ice pops made with local ingredients at the North Village Arts District Farmers and Artisans Market.
"Once I became a mother, it became more important for me to know exactly what was going into my food," she said Saturday at the Columbia Farmers' Market. "I started challenging myself to see what I could make, and if I could make it taste better."
Saturday was Jawadi's last shift at the Fresh Beets Gourmet Ice Pop cart for a while, although it will still have a presence at the market. She planned to leave Sunday for Michoacan, Mexico, for a month of research on paletas, the Latin American ice pops made with fresh fruit that inspired her creations.
"I went to school in Southern California and there was always someone selling them," Jawadi said. "I always thought people love them there, so they're probably going to love them here, too."
Getting started
After her first batch of ice pops was a huge hit at her daughter's summer birthday party, she started toying with the idea of turning her frozen creations into a business.
"I actually used to make organic wedding cakes, but I didn't really like how you just dropped it off and left," Jawadi said. "I wanted something more personal, with more interaction."
To sell her ice pops, Jawadi had to meet some requirements. Mobile food vendors are required to work out of and store their food in a kitchen that can be inspected by the Health Department.
"There is no established commissary kitchen for vendors to use, so you have to form relationships with restaurants or businesses who are OK with you being there," Jawadi said.
According to the city of Columbia's mobile food guidelines, all mobile vendors need a Columbia/Boone County Health Department permit and a temporary business license. Vendors must also meet a number of sanitation requirements.
Creating unique flavors
Once the business aspect was settled, Jawadi got to work creating a variety of natural ice pops with unique ingredients and flavors.
"I start by sourcing my ingredients, and if I can't find what I want at the markets, then I usually go to a local supplier," she said. "Then, I sit down and formulate a plan and I get to the kitchen and get started."
On Saturday at the farmers market, Anna Zacherl made sure to stop by the stand and buy a $3 hibiscus raspberry ice pop for her 12-year-old daughter, Emilia.
"We saw it last time we were here and we didn't have any cash, so we decided today that we had to stop," she said.
Randy Fletcher enjoyed one of the more adventurous flavors, jalapeno pineapple.
"I got the jalapeno pineapple because it's my favorite pizza," Fletcher said. "And it's delicious."
Moving forward
In her absence, staff from the Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture will be manning the ice pop cart.
Thirty percent of the sales for the month of August will go to the center's Planting for the Pantry project, which gives the community an opportunity to invest in urban agriculture and build the capacity of low-income families to meet their food needs.
While she is in Mexico, Jawadi hopes to observe the experts and come back with knowledge that she can use to grow her business, such as better methods for making ice pops.
"My only real plan is to go there, eat lots of popsicles, talk to lots of people and see what I can find out," she said.
Supervising editor is John Schneller.

How to check your electrical system is safe
There are some tell-tale signs that your system is out of date and unsafe to work on (old-style rubber-sheathed cable, for example). But even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong. So make sure it's safe before you begin work.
If you're in any doubt, get it checked by a qualified electrician.

Gwinnett Daily Post
CHAMBLEE -- Members of a Gwinnett Soccer Association team got a free lunch Monday compliments of Church's Chicken. After learning that funds had been stolen from the team during a car break-in June 9, the corporation also reached out and donated $4,000.
The team's coach said the community as a whole has been supportive following the incident, which left the organization more than $2,500 in the hole according to reports from Lilburn Police.
"It's been amazing," said Coach Michael Samnik, who showed up with his players from the under-16 Phoenix Red team Monday afternoon at a Church's Chicken in Chamblee. "This has been a godsend."
Soccer player Alfredo Rivera, 16, said it was welcome news following the loss of their donation money.
"It's just a relief," Rivera said. "It's good to know that not everybody in this world is bad. There are some good people out there."
Last weekend's incident, however, illustrated that there are indeed some out there who will take advantage of others.
According to an incident report from Lilburn Police, officials arrived about 5 p.m. June 9 at Oyster Barn on Beaver Ruin Road, where a witness claimed to have seen a person wearing a motorcycle helmet smash the window of a vehicle belonging to a Gwinnett Soccer Association coach.
The responding officer spoke with Samnik, whose 2011 Chevy Silverado was broken in to. The report stated that the back passenger window of the vehicle had been shattered. "Mr. Samnik was having a fundraiser earlier in the day ... for his GSA soccer team he coaches. Mr. Samnik told me all the money from the day and the day before was inside the truck," the report stated.
Samnik estimated it to be at least $2,400 in cash
A witness said she saw a male wearing all black and wearing a black motorcycle helmet with a mirror face mask looking into Samnik's vehicle and another, which was also broken into (without anything being reported stolen).
The witness told police that "after the male busted both windows, he jumped on a black sport bike" and left.
According to its website, the Gwinnett Soccer Association is a nonprofit corporation "dedicated to the promotion and development of soccer in and around Gwinnett County."
Bonnie Warschauer, vice president of communications for Church's Chicken, said GSA is the type of organization that the corporation likes to get behind.
"The CEO saw the news and felt compelled to help the team," Warschauer said. In addition to the $4,000 donation and Monday's free lunch, the corporation has offered to pick up the tab during the team's upcoming on-the-road games as well.

Permissions dilemma
Hi all,
I want to open a file to store some data. However, when I use fopen('filename', w) I get permission denied. So, I've changed the permissions of the directory to get rid of the permission denied problem. Unfortunately, this seemed to require changing the directory to have permissions 777.
How much of a security risk is this? If its catastrophic, what's the best way around it?

The least secure permissions should be 755 for pretty much anything except things such as .htaccess, which might best be 700 to give only the owner access to the file and everybody else, including Web browsers, would be forbidden from even attempting to read that file. 755 would give the owner of the file/directory full read-write-execute control while giving others the ability to read and execute, the minimum permissions needed to read a file from what I remember, though it has been a while since I messed with file permissions on an HTTP server.
With regard to the security risk, if you give people write access, and they discover what FTP server the files are stored on (assuming your files are uploaded via FTP), they could FTP replacement files, making it appear to be hacked when all that they did was upload via FTP. Also, if this is your personal HTTP server and you have an FTP server running on the same machine (understandable if you're learning), the same thing could happen, except that it would be easier since a simple ping <http address> would return your IP address, which is most likely the same as the FTP server since it is on the same machine.

If you're on a shared server, or the directory is web-accessible then it's a fairly large risk. What you should do instead is find out why permission is denied. As rpgfan3233 stated, you shouldn't have to go any higher than 755. My guess is that the folder/file isn't owned by the same user as the web server trying to access it. chown it to the same user as the web server.
It wouldn't necessarily be any easier.. most hosts have the FTP server on the same machine as the web server, and it's just as easy to find the IP for a remotely hosted site as one hosted on your local machine.

Cool to see Loving You Sunday Morning in the set, but they really need to play In Trance! I read that the California shows would have shorter Scorpions sets because Sammy Hagar is opening, so hopefully the Chicago show will have a longer set. I definitely hope they play I'm Leaving You, because I have never heard it live.
What does it take to get the Scorps up to the northwest? Love that Coast to Coast is in the set...
