The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a 1994 Australian comedy-drama film written and directed by Stephan Elliott. The plot follows the journey of two drag queens and a transsexual woman, played by Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp, across the Australian Outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in a tour bus that they have named "Priscilla", along the way encountering various groups and individuals. The film's title is a pun on the fact that in English speaking cultures, "queen" is a slang term for a male homosexual.[2]
The film was instrumental in bringing Australian cinema to world attention[3] and for its positive portrayal of LGBT individuals, helping to introduce LGBT themes to a mainstream audience.[citation needed] The film has also been criticized for perceived racist and sexist stereotyping.[citation needed]
The film received predominantly positive reviews and won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 67th Academy Awards. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 1994 Cannes Film Festival[4] and became a cult classic in both Australia and abroad. Priscilla subsequently provided the basis for a musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, which opened in 2006 in Sydney before travelling to New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New York City's Broadway.
Anthony "Tick" Belrose, using the drag pseudonym of Mitzi Del Bra, is a Sydney-based drag queen who accepts an offer to perform his drag act at Lasseter's Hotel Casino Resort managed by a female friend named Marion in Alice Springs, a remote town in central Australia. After persuading his friends and fellow performers, Bernadette Bassinger, a recently bereaved transsexual woman, and Adam Whitely, a flamboyant and obnoxious younger drag queen who goes under the drag name Felicia Jollygoodfellow, to join him, the three set out in a large tour bus, which Adam christens "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" for a four-week run in the Australian Outback town.
While on the long journey through remote lands bordering the Simpson Desert, they meet a variety of characters, including a group of friendly Australian Aborigines for whom they perform, and the less accepting attitudes of rural Australia in such towns as Coober Pedy, and are subjected to homophobic abuse and even violence, including having their tour bus vandalized with the words "AIDS fuckers go home".
When the tour bus breaks down in the middle of the desert, Adam spends the whole day repainting it pink to cover up the vandalism. Later, the trio meet Bob, a middle-aged mechanic from a small outback town who joins them on their journey. Before they arrive at Alice Springs, Tick reveals that Marion is actually his wife, as they never divorced, and that they are, in fact, going there as a favour to her. Continuing their journey, Adam is almost mutilated by a homophobic gang before he is saved by Bob and Bernadette. Adam is shaken and Bernadette comforts him, allowing them to reach an understanding. Likewise, the others come to terms with the secret of Tick's marriage and resolve their differences. Together, they fulfill a long-held dream of Adam's, which, in the original plan, is to climb Uluru in full drag regalia ("A cock in a frock on a rock"), although the location was changed to King's Canyon in the film (see below).
Upon arrival at the hotel, it is revealed that Tick and Marion also have an eight-year-old son, Benjamin, whom Tick has not seen for many years. Tick is nervous about exposing his son to his drag profession and anxious about revealing his homosexuality, though he is surprised to discover that Benjamin already knows and is fully supportive of his father's sexuality and career. By the time their four-week stint at the resort is over, Tick and Adam head back to Sydney, taking Benjamin back with them, so that Tick can get to know his son and Marion can have a long-earned break. However, Bernadette decides to remain at the resort for a while with Bob, who has decided to work at the hotel after the two of them had become close.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert had originally been conceived by filmmakers Stephan Elliott and Andrena Finlay who were at the time in production of a film called Frauds. They initially tried to pitch Priscilla to various financiers at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, but were unsuccessful,[5] and so instead took the film's concept to PolyGram and, with the backing of the Australian Film Finance Corporation, were able to begin production of the film on a relatively low budget of 2.7 million Australian dollars.
Elliott and the film's producers, Michael Hamlyn and Al Clark, the latter of whom was the husband of Finlay, all agreed to work for $50,000 each, a relatively low fee for filmmakers at the time, while the lack of funding meant that the crew agreed to receive takings of the film's eventual profits in compensation for their low salaries.[6] Due to the involvement of the Australian FFC, only one non-Australian actor was allowed to appear in the film, and Clark initially considered David Bowie, whom he had known back in the 1980s, and later briefly thought of John Hurt, although neither were available.[7]
In May 1993, after travelling around the Australian Outback searching for appropriate sites to film in, Priscilla 's creators attended the Cannes to advertise their project, despite the fact that they had not yet confirmed any actors for the roles. Their primary choice for the role of Bernadette was Tony Curtis, who read and approved of the script, but eventually became unavailable. They then approached John Cleese, who was not interested.
For the part of Tick, they had initially wanted Rupert Everett and for Adam they wanted Jason Donovan.[8] However, at a pre-production casting meeting held at Cannes, Everett and Donovan did not get on well with one another and were found to be openly hostile toward the production staff. In light of this, it was readily agreed that they would not be suitable for the parts[9] and the search for their three leading men would resume. However, Donovan would go on to play Tick in the West End musical adaptation of the film to great acclaim.
After unsuccessfully lobbying Colin Firth to play the role, producers eventually awarded the part to Hugo Weaving. Initially considering Tim Curry for the part of Bernadette, they cast Terence Stamp, who was initially anxious about the role because it was unlike anything that he had performed previously, although he eventually came on board with the concept.[10] Stamp himself suggested Bill Hunter for the role of Bob, who accepted the role without even reading the script or being told anything about the greater concept of the film other than the basic character description, while Australian soap-opera star Guy Pearce was hired at the eleventh hour direct from the Australian soap opera Neighbours to portray the sassy but sprite Adam.[11]
It is striking what an effect the disguise of drag is having on [the actors'] personalities. It makes Guy [Pearce] flirtatious, combative and loud. It makes Terence [Stamp] withdrawn and watchful ("Hello sailor," he greets me warily with his back to the wall, looking like a fallen woman in a '50s melodrama.) It makes Hugo extraordinarily trashy.
Many scenes, including one where Bernadette encounters a butch, bigoted, Australian woman named Shirley, were filmed at the Outback town of Broken Hill in New South Wales, largely in a hotel known as Mario's Palace, which Al Clark believed was "drag queen heaven".[13] They also decided to film at Coober Pedy, a rough-and-tumble mining town in Central Australia featured prominently in the film.[14]
Initially, they tried to get permission to film upon the geological formation formerly known as Ayers Rock or "the Rock" (Uluru), but this was rejected by organizations responsible for the monument, such as the Uluru Board of Management, as it would have been in violation of Indigenous Australian religious beliefs.[15] Instead, the scene was filmed in King's Canyon.[16] Dialogue from the scene was rewritten slightly to accommodate the new location.
With filming over, the director and producers began editing the footage, repeatedly travelling to both London and to Los Angeles, which had then just been hit by the 1994 Northridge earthquake. On the advice of early viewers, the film was shortened and scenes such as Adam's flashback about his paedophilic uncle were edited down.[17]
Box office[edit]
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert took $18,459,245 at the box office in Australia,[18] which is equivalent to $24,888,888 in 2009 dollars.
Being an Australian film, not an American-produced Hollywood blockbuster, The Adventures of Priscilla was released as a minor commercial product in North America and other English-speaking nations.[19]
Director Elliott noted that the audiences viewing the film in Australia, the United States, and France all reacted to it differently, going on to state that "At a screening we had for an Australian audience, they laughed at all the Aussieisms. The Americans laughed too, but at different jokes. There is a line where Tick says, 'Bernadette has left her cake out in the rain...' [The French audience] didn't get it, whereas the Americans laughed for ten minutes."[20] Tom O'Regan, a scholar of film studies, remarked that the film actually carried different meanings for members of different nationalities and subcultural groups, with LGBT Americans believing that the film was "the big one that will bring gay lifestyles into the mainstream", while Australians tended to "embrace it as just another successful Australian film".[21]
Critical reaction[edit]
On the film review website, Rotten Tomatoes, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert has a 93% fresh rating based on 30 reviews, indicating very positive reviews; the consensus states: "While its premise is ripe for comedy -- and it certainly delivers its fair share of laughs -- Priscilla is also a surprisingly tender and thoughtful road movie with some outstanding performances."[22] American film critic Roger Ebert felt that Bernadette was the key part of the film, stating that "the real subject of the movie is not homosexuality, not drag queens, not showbiz, but simply the life of a middle-aged person trapped in a job that has become tiresome."[23]
Janet Maslin from The New York Times wrote "The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert presents a defiant culture clash in generous, warmly entertaining ways."[24] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone commented "In this roaringly comic and powerfully affecting road movie, Terence Stamp gives one of the year's best performances."[24] Kenneth Turan from the Los Angeles Times wrote "The comic pizazz and bawdy dazzle of this film's vision of gaudy drag performers trekking across the Australian outback certainly has a boisterous, addictive way about it."[24]
In 1995, the film won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 67th Academy Awards, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Picture – Comedy or Musical. Meanwhile, for his role as Bernadette, Terence Stamp won the Seattle International Film Festival Award for Best Actor. He was nominated also for the 1994 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy (but lost out to Hugh Grant for his role in Four Weddings and a Funeral), as well as the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, (where he again lost out to Grant), and the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, where he instead lost to Nicholas Hope.
The film was ranked at #7 on Logo's 50 Greatest Films with an LGBT theme,[25] and #10 on AfterElton's Fifty Greatest Gay Movies list.[26]
Cultural impact[edit]
The Adventures of Priscilla, along with other contemporary Australian films Young Einstein (1988), Sweetie (1989), Strictly Ballroom (1992), and Muriel's Wedding (1994), provided Australian cinema with a reputation for "quirkiness", "eccentricity" and "individuality" across the world.[3] Both Priscilla and Muriel's Wedding (which had also featured a soundtrack containing ABBA songs) in particular became cult classics, not only in their native Australia, but also in the United Kingdom, where a wave of Australian influences, such as the soap operas Neighbours and Home and Away, had made their mark in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[27]
In 1995, an American film, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, was released, featuring three drag queens who travel across the United States. According to Al Clark, the creators of Priscilla heard about the film while shooting theirs, and "for a moment [were] troubled" until they read the script of To Wong Foo, when they decided that it was sufficiently different from Priscilla to not be a commercial and critical threat.[28] To Wong Foo proved to be critically far less successful than Priscilla, only gaining a 41% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.[29] Financially however, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar did better at the box office making 3 times as much in the U.S. with over 36 million dollars. [30]
During the Closing Ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Priscilla was part of a parade of images of Australian popular culture. A refurbished and decorated 1980 Ford Denning (resembling bus used in the film) featuring a giant steel stiletto heel which extended from and retracted into the roof—inspired by some of the scenes from the film—was paraded around the Olympic Stadium. The bus was also accompanied by several stiletto heels tricycle floats and drag queens donning big wigs as a tribute to the film's international success and the local Sydney gay community.[31][32]
Racism and sexism controversy[edit]
The film has come under criticism for alleged racist and sexist elements, particularly in the portrayal of the Filipina character, Cynthia. Melba Margison of the Centre for Filipino Concerns stated that Cynthia was portrayed as "a gold-digger, a prostitute, an entertainer whose expertise is popping out ping-pong balls from her sex-organ, a manic depressive, loud and vulgar. The worst stereotype of the Filipina." She argued that, by portraying Cynthia in this manner, the filmmakers were "violently kill[ing]" the dignity of Filipina women, something that she feared would lead to "more violence against us".[33] An editor writing in The Age echoed these concerns, highlighting that "It is perhaps a pity that a film with a message of tolerance and acceptance for homosexuals should feel the need of what looks very much to us like a racist and sexist stereotype."[33] Similarly, in his study of bisexuality in cinema, Wayne M. Bryant argued that while it was "an excellent film", The Adventures of Priscilla was marred by "instances of gratuitous sexism".[34]
Producer Clark defended the film against these accusations, arguing that while Cynthia was a stereotype, it was not the purpose of film makers to avoid the portrayal of "vulnerable characters" from specific minority backgrounds. He stated that she was "a misfit like the three protagonists are, and just about everybody else in the film is, and her presence is no more a statement about Filipino women than having three drag queens is a statement about Australian men."[33] Tom O'Regan[who?] noted that as a result of this controversy, the film gained "an ambiguous reputation."[35]
In popular culture[edit]
An episode of The Drew Carey Show, "New York and Queens", features Drew and his friends dressed for a Rocky Horror performance while Mimi and her friends arrive in Priscilla garb, igniting a dance-off between "Time Warp" and "Shake Your Groove Thing".
Originally, this scenario happened in real life at the twin-screen drive-in theatre near Geauga Lake Amusement Park, Ohio in the summer of 1995. Instead of Priscilla replacing Rocky Horror, it was merely the next film to be booked on the screen facing the other half of the park after attendance had fallen off, while Rocky Horror was still drawing in crowds. On opening night, far from having a dance-and-sing-off, the crowds for both films was so rowdy toward one another that drive-in operators had to turn the exits on opposite sides of the park into the entrances to avoid any further mayhem.[citation needed]
The film featured a soundtrack made up of pre-existing "camp classics" (pop music songs that have a particular fanbase in the LGBT community). The original plan by the film's creators was to have a Kylie Minogue song in the finale, although it was later decided that an ABBA song would be more appropriate because its "tacky qualities" were "more timeless".[36] The film itself featured four main songs, which were performed by two or more of the drag queens as a part of their show within the film; "I've Never Been to Me" by Charlene, "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, "Finally" by CeCe Peniston, and "Mamma Mia" by ABBA. On 23 August 1994, Fontana Island released the soundtrack on CD.

Animal Friends, a Pittsburgh, Pa., animal rescue and education center, gained a new partner in Del Monte Pet Products when the company agreed to be its official food sponsor for the next three years.
Although its consumer division is based in San Francisco, the bulk of Del Monte's pet operations are based in Pittsburgh, which allowed it to develop a strong relationship with the animal center over the last few years, according to Jeff Waters, senior vice president of marketing for Del Monte Pet Products.
Del Monte employees regularly volunteer and adopt animals through the shelter, says Waters. Del Monte, which also holds a seat on Animal Friends' board of directors, was also involved in many previous fund-raising events, he said.
In the new partnership, the pet food company will provide various brands of its food and snacks to be fed to Animal Friends' dog and cat residents; used during training sessions; and sold in the shelter's on-site retail store. Del Monte will also be the signature sponsor of Animal Friends' various annual events, including the Mutt Strut, Bark in the Park, Black Tie & Tails and the Annual Pet Telethon. Animal Friends estimates it places 2,500 dogs, cats and rabbits into new homes each year.
In addition to shelter and adoption, the center offers low-cost spay and neuter services, humane education, health and wellness programs, lost and found services and pet-friendly events.

"I would definitely buy another doc martens soon!"
January 23, 2013
Ageless Shoe..
"Dr.Martens are (as always) very well made and will last a life time. Bought for my tween daughter, she loves the style and has received many compliments. Dr. Martens always run a standard size big ( for an average foot) perhaps it is the European sizing. All Dr.Martens I have ever purchased (for myself or others) need to be broken in for a personal fit. Leather always stretches over time and they fit like a glove. A very good buy on sale. Highly recommend to anyone regardless of age!"
November 20, 2012
Great Boots
"These are one of the best pairs of boots I've owned. They're stylish in a funky, fun way and are very comfortable. I get many compliments every time I wear them. I've never bought Doc Martens before so before purchasing went to a local store and tried on several pairs to ensure I got the correct size. I am a women's 8 and all the boots I tried on in that size were just a smidge long and wide, but if I went down one size they were definitely too small and half sizes are not available. I ordered my regular size and these boots fit a bit roomy as I expected. I wear thicker socks with them and they are just fine. I suspect that's also what helps makes them so comfortable."

Got an Indie Game Idea You Want to Pitch? Get on the Bus
If your typical San Francisco convention-goer is cruising for anything when he's in town, he's probably up in the Tenderloin scouting hookers. Not Fork Parker. The CEO spokesmascot for Devolver Digital (publishers of Serious Sam) will be trawling SoMa outside the Moscone Center in that there bus, listening to new…
This Is The Summer Of Serious Sam 3
2011 looks to be the year of explosive, testosterone-fueled, old-school shooters, now that Serious Sam developer Croteam has pegged its next game, Serious Sam 3, for a summer release.
Serious Sam Now As Shiny As It Is Silly
This is the first trailer for the upcoming HD re-release of Serious Sam. As you'd expect, it's very HD. And as you'd expect, it's very silly. In a good way, of course.
Serious Sam 3 Will Play The Same, Just Won't Look The Same
Serious Sam developers Croteam have told Eurogamer that in many ways, the third game in the series will stay true to the series' roots. Well, except for the series' trademark "cartoon" graphics. Those have got to go.
Want Serious Sam HD On Your PS3? You Better Speak Up
Developer Croteam is bringing Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD to Xbox Live Arcade this summer and, eventually, the PC. But what about the other platform capable of handling the seriousness of this first-person shooter, the PlayStation 3?
Gamecock Resurrected As Devolver Digital?
Today's announcement of Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD for Xbox Live Arcade had a hidden bonus announcement buried within, the existence of Devolver Digital. That's the new production company from the founders of the extinct Gamecock and G.O.D.
Why Hello There Serious Sam 3
When did we last hear about Serious Sam 3? 2007? Oh dear. Far too long. Long enough, even, to worry the game has been quietly given the arse.

To Mark1950
No self-respecting Charcoal chef uses lighter fluid. The chimney starters work just as fast, and produce more even fire.
My guess is you only know how to burn, not cook, steak.
Is there only Charcoal and Gas out there?
I still prefer a good wood fire. To start it you do NOT need any chemicals, just nice dry wood, chop it small enough and you can light it with a Matchstick, in the worst case scenario I use a old newspaper.
Oh, and the wood is simply off-cut left over from last years pruning of my trees. So let's compare:
Fuel for transport: None (Well may be a beer or 2 :-)
Pollution for drying the wood for a year (instead of being "fast dried" commercially): None
And for the "afterburning" Well, in the worst case, put some water over the fire and spread it out. It will be dry again for next weeks BBQ, just using a little dry wood for starting which will dry the rest out of the old (now Charcoal) to get it burning again.
But on the other hand: If you time it right, the evening cold sets in and everybody moves closer to the Grill anyway to get warmed up, so it still does serve a purpose :-)
And the leftover from that? Serves actually quite well as dung for the trees that have been cut in the first place!
When most people cook with charcoal, they must first use VOC laden igniter, of one form or another. The amount of greenhouse gas released during this phase of start-up is huge. In L.A. California, it is banned. If one thinks of millions of BBQ using this form of ignition on a daily basis the amount of VOCs pumped into the atmosphere is huge. There is a skull and crossbones on the can for a reason. The stuff is deadly. It mixes with NO3 from cars and forms ozone. This is the "brown haze" we see. Yum yum; just what I love to put in the air and my mouth.
"it was better for the environment to truck in tomatoes from Spain during the winter, for example, than to grow them in heated greenhouses in Britain".
Better still not to insist on eating produce out of season, especially when it is a flavourless red water bag grown under the hundreds of square kilometres of plastic sheet that desecrate Spain's Mediterranean coast.
I agree with aidan clarke and ZaphodB.
Furthermore, it was The Economist's own article dated Feb 19th 2009 that presented how cooking meat advanced human evolution beyond that of other animals. If we go back to eating cucumber sandwiches spread with soya then would humans go back 2 million years and live as apes in the wild? All in the name of the carbon footprint?
At ZaphodB
I agree that efforts appear to be wasted by conducting studies on carbon footprints of BBQ's. However you seem to have missed the point - in that there is a difference between the carbon footprints - and it is not just a matter of preference as you glibly state. You also seem to have confused the fact that this research was conducted in Switzerland and not in the UK. Generally you seem quite confused.
As for your independence comment - I was wondering if you knew that the country you refer to also has a celebration on July 4th - its called Thanksgiving...
Sounds like an excuse to write-off 50 barbeques as a business expense.
Talk about going off the deep end. Will the eco-nuts not be happy until every vestige of enjoyment and freedom in the world is sacrificed at the altar of Gaia?
In all seriousness: where on the list of serious problems, even for the environment, does what type of fuel people use to barbecue sit?
I'd posit that addressing Islamic extremism, especially connected to nuclear weapons (Pakistan and soon Iran) is top of the list of threats to life on the planet, never mind the social issues of treatment of women and minorities in the Islamic world.
Second is the lack of drinking water in most of the world.
Third is infectious and preventable diseases (including Malaria, whose extent has worsened thanks to the "success" of "Silent Spring").
Fourth is Oil dependence, which feeds number 1, and mostly because of that, not its environmental impact.
If we can address the above in our lifetime, we'll have accomplished a lot. Instead we're engaged in a paper chase that spends lots of money on bureaucrats and researchers in the rich countries, when the world's real problems are in the poor and emerging ones.
Charcoal versus gas is not a major issue for ANYTHING. It's a matter of PREFERENCE.
I happen to think food cooked on charcoal tastes better. Most people I know agree, but prefer the convenience of gas.
This article shows just how far off the deep end some people have gone in the name of Gaia worship masquerading as "Environmentalism".
I'll be happily celebrating our independence from a country that has managed to go from world power to having over 100% of it's GDP as debt in under 60 years. I'll do so by eating a STEAK cooked on CHARCOAL.
P.S. The largest flaw in your whole argument is using the UK supply chain for Charcoal/Gas to make an argument about what we should do in the US. Unlike you, we didn't cut down all our forests in Tudor times, so our charcoal comes form our own forests, which we have plenty of, and which we replant regularly.
This article trots out the casual comment on the inefficiency of beef production, based solely on calorie input and product output. If an analysis were done with the same rigor employed in evaluating fuels from the trees or reservoirs to the BBQ, you would get a somewhat different slant. The cow takes a very poor source of protein and converts it into usable food for us humans. At the same time it fertilizes the pastures, providing a sustainable food supply. As for the odors - give me the farmyard over urban smog at any time!
While I'm confident that cooking your grub indoors on the kitchen stove is a lot more efficient (carbon dioxide-wise), it simply isn't true that charcoal continues to burn itself to exhaustion once the food is on the plate. Just shut off the air vents (intake and exhaust) when you have finished with the grill. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much unburned charcoal survives for use in the next grilling session.
aidan clarke, not that I don't agree with most of these carbon footprint studies being useless, but most scientific inquiry, once you get down to it, is full of estimates and assumptions. These assumptions start from the very beginning of the calculations such as by the people who did carbon estimates for the facilities that produce the liquefied petroleum. I'm not sure how far off I'd consider the final results, but if they were done with good logic, then I'd consider them to be close enough to compare various activities.
Even progressive folks such as myself enjoy a primitive pleasure (such as charcoal grilling) now and then. A few ways, apparently not mentioned in the Economist or ScienceDirect articles, to minimize emissions from this much tastier alternative to gas grilling: (a) use gas or electric grilling indoors some of the time, so one uses charcoal less often, (b) replace lighter fluid (carcinogenic, acrid, and all-around awful) with a metal chimney holding old newsprint (and magazines) underneath the coals, (c) grill wild fish in place of farmed furred or feathered creatures, and (d) toast marshmallows and other goodies until the coals burn out, instead of wasting them. If Dr. Johnson would like to pursue a follow-on study to measure the effectiveness of these techniques, he can stop by and try out my grill any time.
What is the carbon footprint of all of these carbon footprint studies, which are so chock full of estimates and assumptions as to serve no purpose other than modish, self-righteous conscience-salving? Stick to the basics. If you want to do your bit to reduce carbon emissions then drive less and use less electricity.

Turks take down Falcon girls hoops
Struggling mightily, the South Whidbey girls basketball team fell to Sultan 52-21 on Tuesday.
The Turks took the wind out of the Falcons early. Sultan gained a 19-7 lead by the end of the first quarter. Then the Turks outdid their performance with a 20-0 second quarter stretch.
South Whidbey regrouped a bit in the second half, scoring eight points in the third quarter and six points in the final period. But the Turks held onto their cushy lead behind 12 points from leading scorer Payton McGuire and nine from Shelby Jeffries.
Falcon senior Madi Boyd led South Whidbey with six points, as did junior Abby Hodson with six points.
South Whidbey was eliminated from competing in the District 1 playoffs after losing to Coupeville on Jan. 28 for the second time this season.

February 2014
We present a new approach for recognizing the make and model of a car from a single image. While most previous methods are restricted to fixed or limited viewpoints, our system is able to verify a car's make and model from an arbitrary view. Our model consists of 3D space curves obtained by backprojecting image curves onto silhouette-based visual hulls and then refining them using three-view curve matching. We also build an appearance model of taillights which is used as an additional cue. Our approach is able to verify the exact make and model of a car over a wide range of viewpoints and background clutter.
This technical report describes research done during Edward Hsiao's summer internship at Microsoft Research in 2011 and was authored during the fall of 2011. A conference version of this work, presented at WACV 2014 [Ramnath et al., WACV 2014], contains newer pose estimation techniques and updated experimental results, but not some of the appearance-based matching described in this report. The two appendices in this report are new and provide additional details on the pose estimation component and additional experimental results relating to [Ramnath et al., WACV 2014].

Research @ Rockford focuses on Cancer Research
Assistant Professor
Research Interests: Pathway for DNA Double-Strand Break repair in human cells is Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ). The primary focus of my research is to understand, in molecular detail, how DNA ends that are exposed by a DSB are recognized, protected from degradation and efficiently re-joined in human cells. Much of the research being done in my lab centers on the participation of a small molecule, inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), in the repair of DSBs by mammalian NHEJ. We have found that IP6 is bound by an NHEJ factor and stimulates NHEJ in vitro. This finding opened new possibilities for investigating the molecular mechanism of NHEJ and exciting new avenues for pharmaceutical control of NHEJ in human cells.
Office: N-301
Phone: 815-395-5924 E-mail: email@example.com Assistant Professor Research Interests: My lab is interested in issues related to tumor development and tumor detection. Currently, we focus on the role of splicing factors and alternative splicing in ovarian and breast cancer. One project is to study how splicing factors polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) and SRp20 affect tumorigenic process. We attempt to address the issue at two levels: First, we investigate what cellular or subcellular processes are regulated by these two splicing factors; second, we examine what molecular events and signaling pathways are influenced by PTB and SRp20. Another project is to systematically investigate the functional significance of the splice variants of the genes that play a role in tumor development. The questions we attempt to answer are: 1) Are there any differences in splicing pattern of these genes between tumor cells and corresponding normal cells; 2) What different molecular functions do the splice variants have; and 3) What phenotypes do the splice variants confer.
The third project is to explore the potential of PTB, SRp20 and their targets as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis and response to therapy. We develop methods to detect these molecules in blood and/or tissues and correlate their levels with clinical data. Our ultimate goal is to identify sensitive and specific biomarkers to help management of ovarian cancer.

The research focus of the lab is drug delivery. Our aim is to make use of polymeric nanomaterials for tumor targeted drug delivery. Few drug delivery platforms under investigation in the lab include conventional N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers and dendrimers. We are also investigating application of new degradable dendritic polymers and self assembled nanosystems. The overall objective of the research is to provide better treatment options for breast cancer patients.

Weather delays opening of new section of W.Va. 9By MATTHEW UMSTEAD Herald Mail
Herald Article HERECHARLES TOWN, W.Va. Fridays planned opening of the new four-lane route for W.Va. 9 from Charles Town to the Virginia state line has been canceled due to this weeks storm, state highways officials announced Wednesday.
Depending on weather conditions, the highway might not open to motorists for another a week to 10 days or more, according to West Virginia State Department of Transportation spokesman Brent Walker.
Concrete still must be poured for the median barrier and that work is very weather dependent, according to Walker....
W.Va. 9 opening delayedBy Michelle Horst - Journal Staff Writer
FULL ARTICLE..."When you pour median wall, you're at the mercy of the weather and temperature. We were charging hard, but the Friday opening was going to be pushing it close anyway," Walker said.
Estimations range from one to two weeks for the delayed opening. The project had been originally predicted to have been finished in October....
They're still paving the last section at the top. Hopefully that part is temporary. Looks to be quite a steep transition from the old road to new. Also... that looks to be one long, steep stretch of road. Should be 'fun' in the winter.
Illegitimi non carborundum
The slope appears to be none more than the slope on the "old route 9" that goes from Blue Ridge Elementary to just below Mission Road. The speed limit is 55mph on that stretch, and it will be 55mph on the new stretch.
If you do not know if I am joking or just being an asshole. Assume both.
Looks like they are doing the last of the paving near the border today, they've got a flagman out there as well with traffic going single laned when I went through a bit earlier.
Oh Geez! Here comes the cluster party!!!
During the rush hours in the days subsequent to the opening, I'm sure our readers will want some first hand reports of how well or how bad drivers' experiences unfolded. I realize it may be dark, but I'll ask again that folks use cell phone cameras to capture some digital images (safely, of course ). If for some reason you haven't figured out how to post pics, send the files to ME and I'll post them in your stead.
It should be an interesting Winter.
Which road will have the right away, the new route 9 or the old route 9? Looking at a map it would appear the new route 9 will eventually have the right away for it is the more direct route.
The newly constructed road and bridge are to be designated a primary route and will have priority over old rt 9 (which is soon to be secondary road Rt 115). There will be a stop sign on Old Rt 9 as well as one on Chestnut Hill Rd. Worse, the new road, as has been mentioned before, is sure to receive priority snow removal and bump "Rt 115" down on the list. (gosh knows where Mission Rd. be on that list).
ministerswife (11-10-2012)
Let's not forget that in fact snow removal was a separate part of the budgeting for the new bridge. IOW, they have a ton of new money to keep the bridge clear, over and above what's been spent on 9/5 in past years. We are not sharing the funds.
How that will work out in the Real World is unclear to me. Maybe the DOH will be able to buy one new truck to just cover the bridge.
androsyn (11-11-2012)
The "Spirit of Jefferson" just announced on Facebook "The new W.Va. 9 bridge will open Wednesday. A ceremony marking the opening will be held at 11 a.m." There are no other details as to location of ceremony.
Looks like the Herald Mail has more details: http://www.herald-mail.com/news/tris...,4600932.story
Great news, at least for us Maryland commuters. Should be lots less traffic on ummm... what we used to call Route 9, but as of Wednesday must learn to call ???. Have they changed the signs yet?
Despite the nice article, there's no word at all about where this ceremony may be held. Or when we'll actually be able to drive over the new bridge (presumably prior to the ceremony).

Panasonic to launch first Android-powered Toughbook tablet
By Pawel Piejko
June 17, 2011
Panasonic will introduce a ruggedized Toughbook tablet running Android OS in Q4 2011. Aimed at enterprise users, the Android Toughbook tablet will offer a sunlight-friendly matte screen, a 10.1'' XGA (1024 x 768) multi-touch display, "full-shift" battery life, GPS connectivity and an optional 3G/4G embedded modem.
Panasonic says the device will be built with functionality and real-world reliability in mind, with heightened security "embedded at the hardware level."
"The vast majority of tablet devices--regardless of the OS--are engineered for consumers and don't offer appropriate levels of security and durability or the functionality needed for business use," said Rance Poehler, president, Panasonic Solutions Company.
The new Android Toughbook tablet will be available in Q4, but Panasonic has not yet specified hardware and pricing details, or confirmed which version of Android OS it will run. It will join the Windows 7-based, 10.4'' Toughbook H1 Field in Panasonic's rugged tablet range.
Source: Crunchgear
This is a tablet I might buy, mainly because of the matte screen.
Glossy screens are terrible unless you are playing video games in a dark room with the blinds closed.
If I buy a tablet it will be used for business and personal use, in a well lit area 99% of the time.
robo19th June, 2011 @ 05:30 pm PDT
Panasonic toughbook is a great buy. With its powerful performance and amazing features, it is simply irresistible.

"Walk in and examine specimens," invites the sign on Batchelder's Daguerrian Saloon, which plied the trade between Murphy's Camp and Vallecito. Such wagons proved an ideal method for bringing photography to the gold fields, where miners eagerly seized the opportunity to obtain a pictorial record of their sojurn in El Dorado. Wagons were also easy to move in case of fire, an important advantage in the ramshackle and temporary towns of early California, which burned on a more or less regular basis. As Batchelder wrote to Baker, his employee, "I hear Vallacita [sic] is burnt. If you were there I expect you had the benefit of being on wheels."

"We�re bringing Spain to you," our server says as we settle into a window table at Espana Tapas House. Our smiles broaden as we look around at the brightly painted walls and matching red tablecloths.
We came for lunch and had no problem finding several entr�es we wanted to try on the limited daytime menu. Two of us ordered "Bocadillos," Spanish sandwiches on baguette bread sliced in half lengthwise and rubbed with extra virgin olive oil to moisten and flavor the bread. The sandwich came with homemade Spanish chips, Yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced like potato chips and deep-fried. "They�re phenomenal," our server says, and he was right.
For a nominal extra charge, I ordered the Patatas Ali-Oli from the Tapas Frias to accompany my Bocadillo, roasted potatoes with the house aioli. Lomo, Manchego cheese and olive oil sounded like a winner. Lomo is thinly sliced and cured pork tenderloin that has an intense flavor something like prosciutto, a perfect complement to the mild Manchego cheese. The olive oil in the bread � definitely a player in the flavor department � added the punch that pulled it together. As for those Patatas Ali-Oli, a generous pile of perfectly roasted potatoes tossed with the house aioli left a lasting impression of deliciousness.
We also sampled another Bocadillo, goat cheese with roasted peppers, almonds and arugula, and found it an equally enticing mix. Next time I�ll order the Serrano Ham with chorizo, red pepper, Manchego, arugula and that tasty house aioli.
Since Espana is a Tapas restaurant, the menu lists Tapas Frias, a long list of choices including the classic Tortilla Espanola (Spanish omelet), Grilled Asparagus, an assortment of olives and so much more. On the Hot Tapas menu you can order saut�ed mushrooms, potatoes with chorizo, braised short ribs, ham and cheese croquettes, saut�ed shrimp and again, so much more. There are also Bite Size Tapas. A deviled egg costs 50 cents and a single crostini $1.
It wouldn�t be a Spanish restaurant without Paella, and Espana had four choices, including the classic with shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels and chicken. Not to be overlooked, the dessert tray held two to tempt us, a traditional flan infused with coconut and chocolate cr�me brul�e.
When it was time to leave, my friend says: "I was going to take half my sandwich home but it was so good, I ate the whole thing."

Well my personal favorite seems to answer this question easily.....ZARAKI KENPACHI.
I love this captain because as we've seen, pain doesn't really affect him, as he just keeps fighting like a machine.
Plus, when he tries seeking advice from his teamates, he makes these little avatars of them above his head and he talks to them. it's hilarious.

What state do you live in and how old do you have to be to get a tattoo in that state? I recently saw a post that the mother got her son a tattoo at 16 and this is what my daughter wants for her 16th birthday. We already know that she wants a memorial tattoo for someone that she loves and misses very much. If you want to be rude that's fine. Go right ahead but you wont get comments back because I am not letting it ruin my day. For those of you that want to be helpful. Thanks so much!!

US Women's National Team concede late, draw 1-1 with Japan in Algarve Cup opener
Mar 5, 2014, 11:01 AM EDT
The United States Women's National Team conceded late to draw 1-1 with Japan in their opening match at the 2014 Algarve Cup.
Sydney Leroux opened the scoring for the Stars & Stripes in the 59th minute when she ran down Japan goalkeeper Erina Yamane to block her clearance and slot home the rebound with ease.
The US looked primed to take all three points but the reigning World Cup champions fought back to equalize in the 82nd minute.
Japan midfielder Aya Miyama stepped to a free kick from 30 yards out, sending in a floated ball that US goalkeeper Hope Solo could only get a hand on, deflecting the ball into the side netting.
The result will be a disappointing one for Tom Sermanni's side after having controlled the majority of the match and outshooting Japan by a 20-8 margin. Nevertheless, the draw preserves the US unbeaten streak, which now stands at 43 games.
The FIFA No. 1 ranked US team has won the Algarve Cup nine times in the past, including a 2-0 victory against Germany in last year's title match. Next up for the Yanks is a game with No. 6 ranked Sweden this Friday.
- hildezero - Mar 5, 2014 at 2:17 PM
Japan still seems like the most dangerous team to the USWNT, but Japan still can't go over the hump to finally have the USWNTs' numbers. They're getting close though. Canada, Brazil, and Australia still got time.
- jerseybornfloridaliving - Mar 5, 2014 at 4:38 PM
Def not worried about the Women they are so much better than rest of teams it's hard to always be on top of game. When it comes to crunch time I have a lot of faith in the Women to pull it out unlike the Men's team
- bloodydamnsox - Mar 6, 2014 at 10:57 AM
Japan is technical, physical & fast. USWNT are the only ones who can challenge them. This will be the best rivalry for many years to come as both side have deep junior squads. As frustrating as it is for US fans, it's great for the women's game.

Knowles, TP and Fitzpatrick, AW and Meehan, S and Mott, HR and Vendruscolo, M and Dobson, CM and Welland, ME (2007) Role of intermolecular forces in defining material properties of protein nanofibrils. Science, 318. pp. 1900-1903.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Protein molecules have the ability to form a rich variety of natural and artificial structures and materials. We show that amyloid fibrils, ordered supramolecular nanostructures that are self-assembled from a wide range of polypeptide molecules, have rigidities varying over four orders of magnitude, and constitute a class of high-performance biomaterials. We elucidate the molecular origin of fibril material properties and show that the major contribution to their rigidity stems from a generic interbackbone hydrogen-bonding network that is modulated by variable side-chain interactions.

Plus there are exclusive interviews with the biggest names in the business for you to enjoy, behind-the-scenes specials providing fascinating insights into the nation's favourite programmes and exclusive photo shoots which you'll only see in Radio Times magazine.
Radio Times magazine was founded back in 1923 as a response to newspaper boycotts of radio listings amid fears that people would then listed to the news on the radio instead of buying newspapers. Also, until the deregulation of television listings in 1991 Radio Times magazine only carried information for BBC channels whilst ITV published their own listings in TVTimes.
At one time, Radio Times magazine had the largest circulation in Europe and to this day is the most comprehensive source of UK radio listings in print.
Please note overseas subscriptions are only for the London edition
Your Subscription will begin with the next available issue. Please expect delivery in the next 4-6 weeks.
Radio Times has always maintained such a level of trust. It's a staple diet for television watchers and has been for decades. I remember going way back when it was the only television magazine out there. I remember too when it only previewed what was actually appearing on BBC channels! But nowadays it's an all-encompassing read – lovely features and a great assortment of previews. It doesn't go down the cheap gossip route, and we don't want that.

Further on in this tutorial, find the ROM that contains Windows Mobile 6.1 First step, install the program on your PC IDT C03. Previous versions have not tried them .. Here's the link: http://ul.to/ixydh6 Now we need the ROM for the M88 + + Warning! The M88 + + + is different dall'M88 and dall'M88. In fact, the M88 + + has two cameras, and microSD 8 GB internal GPS, so be careful: If your model does not match the damage you could do! The downloaded the ROM from here: http://ul.to/gu0k3d Once installed the program on your PC, let's the phone: we remove the battery and then rimettiamola. We turn on the phone by pressing the first "Main Volume" (red arrow) and then "Power" (black arrow) continuing to take pressed "volume less", then release the button "Power": Your phone screen will see a colored icon that says Downloading. Now connect the USB cable to the phone and then to the PC. Start a request for drivers for the new device, choose to install the drivers. The drivers are in the program that we have IDT installed first, and we'll find them in: My Computer: C: drive Programs or program files (depends if you have windows in Italian or English) We are looking for the folder Hisilicon Inside the folder resides IDT Also open this Now select the folder "USB generic serial" drivers are here! |

IDT launch the program, we require that the password is: Hisilicon Then you open the configuration page. Set the options exactly as shown in the following, otherwise the installation does not work. Clicking the button next to the window "image file" and select the rom downloaded: Once selected the file back to the window precendete .. at this point will open a popup window of choice, let's leave it like in the picture: We click OK Now click OK and open the download window. At this point, IDT began to work ... at the end of the process if all goes well, will see this screen: Now the phone will automatically restart with the new ROM. The first reboot is a bit slow so do not be hasty. I hope all went well! basically there is nothing so difficult right? tested 100% |
