What the papers said
Kentish Gazette
October 5th 2000Note: The newspaper article was photocopied and sent to me so the quality of the images isn't great. A lot of them are from Paul's book of the film so you can refer to your copy to see what they should look like.
If you don't have the book you can order it here.
Wartime film tells a city's tale A Canterbury Tale, the wartime film which contains many shots of the blitzed city and the coutryside around it, has been fascinating people in East Kent for more than half a century.
Now a book, also called A Canterbury tale, has been written by Paul Tritton, containing more than 400 pictures, including then and now location photographs and many previously unpublished stills.
It is also rich with memories of the film's cast, crew and extras, and eyewitness accounts of the film unit at work in Canterbury in 1943.
The film was co-produced by Emeric Pressburger and Michael Powell, who was born in Bekesbourne and was determined to capture the area he loved as a boy on film.
Andrew Rootes takes a look.
A Canterbury Tale begins with three strangers - a Land Army girl (Sheila Sim), an American GI (John Sweet) and a British Soldier (Dennis Price) - meeting in the wartime blackout at a country railway station near Canterbury.
But moments later the girl becomes the latest victim of Chillingbourne's 'glueman', who flees into the shadows after throwing glue into her hair.
What then unfolds is a story of three troubled young people whose lives are changed by the blessings they receive when - after an eventful weekend in the East Kent countryside - they arrive in Canterbury on the day a local regiment embarks for the Second Front.
There are echoes at the start of the film of the Canterbury pilgrims of old. And a fascinating climax centres on a military parade through the city with views across the areas blitzed in 1942 to the Cathedral itself.
Director Michael Powell, whowas born in Bekesbourne in 1905 and broughht up in the area, insisted on finding locations in and around Canterbury, fulfilling an ambition to create a film in the places he had known intimately in his boyhood.
His locations included the city itself, Chartham Downs, Chilham, Elbridge Farm, Fordwich, Godmersham, Selling, Shottenden, Wickhambreaux and Wingham.
After filming in 1943 A Canterbury Tale received its world premiere at the Friars Theatre (now the Marlowe) in May 1944.
But what about that glueman?
Powell, speaking in 1986, said: "We wanted to explain to the Americans and to our own people the traditions and spiritual values we were all fighting for.
"I'm pretty sure it was I, who had walked the Pilgrim's Way many times, who suggested that the leading characters should be pilgrims to Canterbury.
"Along the way they encounter a loony squire who pours glue on girls heads at night to stop them going out with soldiers.
"This strange fanatic looks on himself as the guardian of English virtues.
"I suppose the film is a kind of morality play. It ends with all the pilgrims on their way to Canterbury to receive their blessings. Only the fanatical squire receives no blessing." *
The film used many local people as extras, including a number of children who took part in a 'battle' sequence on the river.
Some of these were present in May 1979 when Michael Powell returned to Canterbury for a gala showing of A Canterbury Tale at the cinema where it had received it's premiere.
Also present was Emeric Pressburger, who was Hungarian, making his first visit to Canterbury. He hadn't been allowed into the city when the film was being made because of wartime restrictions on the movement of aliens.
The recollections in the book include those of this paper's wartime reporter Keith Webb who remembers how the Blitz of 1942 destroyed our old office at 39 St George's Street.
He recalls: "The morning after the Blitz we turned up for work as usual. There was so much rubble you couldn't find where the street was. We came to a pile of smouldering debris which had been our office.
"The remarkable thing was that although the office was a pile of rubble the printing works, apart from being covererd with brick dust, was still useable."
The legacy of this bombing is captured in the film.
But those interior shots of the Cathedral are not what they seem.
Although Powell wanted to shoot inside the building in 1943 his request to do so was turned down by the Dean and Chapter because "they do not feel able to allow the Cathedral and the Precepts to be made use of as a part of the background of a commercial film."
Undaunted, a set mocking up the Cathedral was built at J Arthur Rank's Denham Film Studios and all the interior scenes were filmed there. [Apart from the shot that pans up to the vaulted roof as Peter walks into the Cathedral, they "stole" that with a hand held camera]
One of the film's stars, Sheila Sim - making her screen debut - became engaged to Richard Attenborough while on location for A Canterbury Tale and is now Lady Attenborough.
Another of the stars, John Sweet, was preparing to become a high school teacher when he was drafted into the US Army. In 1942 he was posted to General Eisenhower's HQ staff in London.
He was playing in a US Army production in London when spotted by Michael Powell, who thought he would be ideal as Sgt Bob Johnson in his film.
After the war he got three small parts on Braodway but realised that the acting life was not for him, so he returned to teaching.
Both John Sweet and Lady Attenborough have written forewords for the book, each of them recalling their experiences on the film with affection.
Lady Attenborough writes: "Michael Powell made this film in the middle of the war to express, I believe, his deep desire to see conserved for all time the unique landscape and way of life he loved so well."
- A Canterbury Tale, a book filled with anecdotes and illustrations, is essential reading for everyone who loves the film. It is published by Tritton Publications at £14.95 and is available at local bookshops. You can also order it here.
In another interview Powell said of the squire "He tried to play God and being God is a lonely occupation"

8th Jul 2012, 22:58
I'm having a lot of problems with a 2003 Envoy XL SLT that my friend bought from my Mother In law. It has 114,000 miles on it. The A/C stops cooling when you change any of the settings, other than outside vent, at 60 degrees on the thermostat. It cools fine if you like to freeze or wear a jacket in 100 degree weather outside, while you're in the SUV.
Then today, was just driving along, and the check engine light came on for no reason at all. It still drove the same for 300+ miles. I'm not a mechanic, but with all the problems that I have been reading, it sounds like the computer on these SUVs does not work properly. That's just an opinion for now, but I'm going to have one of my friends check it out.
9th Jul 2012, 21:12
The computers on these vehicles did have problems. It is very important to find a dealership that has good, computer-certified service techs. When we bought our 2003 Envoy, I was aware of the touchy computer issue, and sought out a very good dealership with highly qualified service techs, who made sure the computer was properly set before we ever drove the car off the lot. As a result, we are now at well over 100,000 miles, and have never had one single problem with this car. It has not even required a brake job yet.
As for the "check engine" light, these generally mean nothing. Ours has been on since 2006 in one of our cars and since 2010 in another. Both cars run flawlessly, and show zero problems. There has been no drop in performance or gas mileage. One codes as "EVAP system", which means nothing, and one codes as "running too cool", which is actually better for the car anyway, so I don't intend to fix it.
Some localities have been in cahoots with car service facilities to fail cars in inspections if a check engine light was on, in order to generate profits for shops and dealers. In a move toward fairness, the large city near us recently did away with this practice, because of the deluge of complaints they were getting from outraged car owners, who were being charged thousands of dollars by unscrupulous shops to turn off the lights.
4th Jun 2014, 16:02
I am having the same problem with my 2003 Envoy SLT; did you ever figure out what the problem was?
21st Jul 2014, 16:05
Hi, we had the very same problem with our 2004 Cadillac SRX. After some research, I removed the security fuse from the fuse box and the problem went away. Somehow the car thought it was being stolen and locked itself up. When I took out that fuse, I could actually feel the car relax. Maybe this will help you.
13th Dec 2014, 00:54
I like the Envoy (2003), it has 134,000 miles. I have replaced the alternator, battery and water pump. Now the car battery will not charge. Any ideas would be helpful.
Thank you, CH.

- OR - Select an option belowKids That Rip Skatepark in Mesa sent two of its skaters to X-Games 18 in Los Angeles during 2012 to compete on the ramps. But not every skater out there has the goods to be X Games-worthy. So why not grind bowls, ramps, and rails aplenty on smooth wood surfaces indoors instead of baking in a cement microwave outside? Kids That Rip has over 3,500 square feet of street course bliss inside an air-cooled facility that will make it feel like Dogtown at Venice Beach. There also are the previously mentioned bowls and ramps, and even a tunnel. Skate camps for kids ages 5 to 15 run throughout the summer, starting at $199 per week for park members. The park also features an all-ages open skate at $15 for a three-hour session, with a themed open skate every first Friday.

So I've been trying to do some research and find a light that does what modern cars do for example where it reflects the light but with great cutoff. Any recommendations. It seems like the only lights that do that exist in Europe or Germany. I'm in the US. I've seen reviews for the Philips Saferide 80 but I'm worried the light isn't bright enough or has a good enough throw, especially if you are going 20mph on not well lit roads or trails.
Every bike light review site only discuss lights that shine everywhere including the eyes of other riders and drivers.

Stelber Bicycles
I picked this one up a few weeks ago. I`ve heard of Stelbers before but i don`t think they were very popular or high quality. The info i found out on them says that the mens models are kinda scarce. I like the style of this one and it was cheap. If anyone has more info on this bike please post it here.

0Was that the one that was for sale in NY (or maybe Jersey) not long ago? That guy had several interesting bikes for sale.
Maybe we're neighbors?
0The bike was about 2 hours south of me. I`m just outside Albany,NY.
I went there for the Stelber and i ended up taking home a prewar ladies JC Higgins and a Schwinn American along with it. So much for clearing out the garage for the winter!
The American is for sale if anyone is interested.

0I don't know anything about Stelber, but it sure looks cool! I like the shape of the chain guard and rack, and the graphics on them.
0I have a ladies' version: Stelber was tapped by Sears to build JC Higgins bikes during a factory strike in 1956. They were one of few European co.'s to build middleweight bikes, along with Royce Union. I don't think they were ever very successful, but there are a few survivors out there! My RU:

0Yours looks great. What do you think of the way they ride? I put air in the tires on mine and took it for a short ride and didn`t like it much. It has a very "cramped" feel to it. I definately need to grease it as the crank is very hard to turn. As you can see, it has the three piece crank. I hear they are a pain to take apart. Does anyone have some tips on how to take these apart for cleaning and greasing?

0Some bike shops have a cotter press (in the old days they all did). You can buy one for about $60.
If you have a stout C clamp and a socket, you try to squeez it out (the socket goes in between the crank and the clamp so the cotter has somewhere to go). Once you've applied all the squeeze you can with the clamp, you tap it (the clamp) with a hammer and it (they cotter) will usually pop out.
You can also cut a piece of pipe to just the right length to reach from the floor to the crank and pound the cotter down into that.
You can just tap it with a hammer but if you tap too hard without backing of some sort you will damage the bearing races.
If you're still fighting it, go to bed. next evening when you're not shaking mad at it, drill it out. Remember, it's flat on the side that faces the spindle so aim a little off center with the drill.
If you're passing through Spring Valley, (near NYC) bring it by and I'll get out my cotter press.
0"What do you think of the way they ride?" Actually, these are untouched as of late, with flat tires, old grease, etc. But, looking at my ladies' bike, it does look set up for a short rider. So, I probably won't fit on it. Perhaps parts for another project...

0I actually had a Stelber in the late 50's that I rode through the early 60's. I'm preety sure my Dad picked it up for me from Sears as his factory was near the largest Sears on the West Coast back in the day. It was red but the tank was white with a rocketship/shooting star/planet theme (you know that was all the rage back then). Been looking for one forever...........can never find them or even much info on them.

Bernie(2011)In small-town Texas, the local mortician strikes up a friendship with a wealthy widow, though when he kills her, he goes to great lengths to create the illusion that she's alive. For more about Bernie and the Bernie Blu-ray release, see Bernie Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on August 20, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Director: Richard Linklater Writer: Richard Linklater Starring: Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, Shirley MacLaine, Rick Dial » See full cast & crew Bernie Blu-ray, Video QualityBernie arrives on Blu-ray with a very stable, bright, slightly warm, and strongly detailed 1080p, 1.78:1-framed transfer. Audiences will appreciate the HD video source's crispness, color, and attention to detail. Never does the film go HD soft, flat, or glossy. It's impressive work, very accurate and well-defined, with abundant sharpness and true-to-life details. The transfer handles the usual array of elements such as facial lines and clothing textures with remarkable precision. Close-ups of the corpse as seen at the beginning of the movie startle with the intricate fine lines and facial hairs evident on the pale body. All of the East Texas interviewees wear heavily textured clothes, and their surroundings offer some startling eye candy that's not only very well detailed, but also abundantly colorful. Millennium's transfer offers an impressive color palette that's as stable and rich as the detailing. Though it's certainly on the warm side -- warmer inside than outside -- the palette is consistently bright, varied, and true. Additionally, there's no problematic banding, blocky backgrounds, or other unwanted eyesores often found in digital photography. In short, this is a wonderful, balanced, and eye-catching transfer. Bernie Blu-ray, Audio QualityBernie's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack suits the dialogue-heavy material well. It's a classic "unmemorable" soundtrack that performs admirably but without much flair for the dramatic. There's the expected upper-end clarity but not a lot of energy. It handles light sound effects, such as the rumbling of a car engine as heard inside the vehicle, with the expected amount of oomph and realism. Chapter five finds some hefty bass and good, well-defined music. Much of the track is limited to the front half of the stage; the surrounds are sparsely utilized in any capacity. The hushed sounds of people shifting and whispering and turning their heads in otherwise quiet church, funeral, or courtroom scenes do well enough to give the listening audience a sense of the environment. The church service and funeral songs do enjoys good presence and accuracy and such are the sonic highlight of the film. Dialogue is even and focused up the middle. This is a good but unremarkable track that serves the movie nicely.

Hot Rod Birthday!
It's my husband Josh's birthday today. He owns a Hot Rod shop here in down town Marietta, GA so the boys wanted to make one of his hot rods on his birthday cake. He has a awesome group of guys working for him and they make the most beautiful pre 1950's hot rods you will ever see! Josh is so talented and I am always amazed at the work that comes out of his shop. He has been featured in numerous national car magazines and currently writes for 2 of the largest hot rod magazines! He has also been in a couple of Discovery Channels Biker Build Offs and is a flathead genius!
We tried to recreate his 1935 Ford 3 Window Coupe out of fondant. I never really work with fondant so this is far from being perfect! It was fun though. It's like playing with play dough! It's not as easy as it looks and I have so much respect for these cake decorators that make amazing cakes with fondant. They make it look so easy!
I know we are probably breaking the fondant cake law by using frosting and fondant, but my husband really does not like the taste of fondant. I figured this way he could easily just pop off the fondant decorations. I used up my box of rice krispie treats so we just covered a Twinkie to make the car. We colored a hand full of fondant black and colored a small amount light gray. I think coloring the fondant is the worst part for me. As you notice there is no color...he's a black and white kind of guy.
We rolled out a piece of the black fondant and layed it on the Twinkie. We shaped the other pieces and just pressed them on. We took the left over black fondant and rolled it out. We cut small squares using a knife and pressed them into the white frosting. We piped more white frosting around the edges and that's it! Super simple!
This might also be a great idea to go by for a Father's Day cake for the dads into old and new cars!
Might I suggest cutting your finger nails first...you can see a few of my nail marks! Here is a close up...
Here is a view of the back...
I put candles coming out the back of the car. Here is the birthday boy!
My husband has built a lot of cars and bikes, but here are just some of them that we currently own and have owned in the past....
Here is my husbands 1935 Coupe that we tried to copy on the cake....
This is the back of it...
This is our family 1950 Mercury..we have had this car for a long time and have a lot of fun in it!
Here is a 1946 Harley he built...
Here I am in a 1960 truck we used to have...
Here are the boys playing in a 1952 truck we used to have...
This is our 1948 Chevy we used to have...such a fun car!
Here is Josh's 1933 truck that he built. He brought this home and I was thinking..what in the world is he going to make out of these small pieces of rusty junk! This is what it turned in to!
Here is our old 1957 Studebaker...really miss this car!
Here is a 1947 Indian Josh built for a bike build off for a big motorcycle show...he got 1st place!
Here is Josh & the boys in our 1935 Cabriolet that we just sold....
My boys have so much fun in these cars! I mean..what little boy wouldn't love to be dropped off a school in a cool hot rod! I actually drove the '35 coupe for the first time this past weekend to a car show. I was scared half to death, but it was so much fun! My husband built this car from a rusty piece of junk nothing and it took him a few years to finish. I was so afraid I would wreck it! I would have felt better driving our 1950 Merc, but wasn't comfortable with how big it is. Maybe after seeing me drive his '35 he just might build me my own hot rod!!
Happy Birthday Josh..we love you!

The cake is awesome! My dad's 60th bday is this Dec & this is the theme we are going with. He has a 1950 Ford Custom and a 1977 MGB. They are not fixed up, but he loves his cars. I wish we could do that for him. We will celebrate & have a great time. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to try to make it :)
ReplyDeleteNice work! The car came of great. I'd love for you to share this at Whatcha Whipped Up Wednesday. Hope to see you there.

'What do you think about...?': Generating views in an interview
Rapley, M. and Antaki, C. (1998) 'What do you think about...?': Generating views in an interview. Text - Interdisciplinary Journal for the Study of Discourse, 18 (4). pp. 587-608.
*Subscription may be required
We examine whether a range of devices, previously found to privilege the knowledge and interests of one speaker at the expense of another, turn up in the talk of a researcher conducting an open-ended, 'view-soliciting' interview, where the interviewer is supposed to defer to the interviewee. We show that these devices do appear, and that they can have the effect of privileging the interviewers' views over those of the interviewee. To the general resource of 'cover identities' identified by Sacks, the devices of Maynard's 'perspective-display series' and Bergmann's 'discreetly exploring utterance', we also make a case for adding the device of the interviewer generalizing the respondents' use of particulars, as suggested by Billig (1987) in a different context. We discuss the implications of such talk for the interpretation of open-ended 'views'-eliciting research interviews.

We know there will be tension between Paul's mother and Alice, but we see it over and over again in a series of labored exchanges having to do with Alice's inability to be a housewife and Matilda's conviction that a woman's place is at the stove or the iron. Worse, Alice seems to become a suffragist without once referring to fellow writers and protesters of the day. It's almost as if the Dunbars exist in a vacuum, circling one another with the same stale complaints.
Director Ron Himes has done some snappy staging with, Lord help us, 34 separate scenes (played on a two-level set). His top-flight cast includes Eric J. Conners as a splendid Dunbar -- just right as one part rake and one part oblivious mama's boy. His transformation from serious poet to darkie bard, when he recites the chilling and lapidary "We Wear the Mask" to a train porter (a scene that could end the show beautifully) is simply astonishing. Conners' entire body contorts and his voice flexes, and his grin is mechanically apt. As Alice, Cherita Armstrong plays exasperation and coyness well, and she's thoroughly believable as the distracted poet forced into societally sanctioned female subservience. Marjorie Johnson's Matilda has a steely presence, even while she's coddling her son, and one wishes the flashback sequences, in which she recollects being shamed by her white mistress, added more to the storyline. Marsha Cann, as loyal friend Fanny, brightens her scenes, and supporting cast members J. Samuel Davis, Christopher Hickey, Monica Parks Simon and Christine Anthony are all fine. Despite my caveats about the script, it's clear that playwright McGhee-Anderson has an excellent and moving play in progress about a unique confluence of American social and literary history.

Insurance Department
INSURANCE DEPARTMENT TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED WORKERS COMPENSATION RATE INCREASEThe New York State Insurance Department has scheduled a public hearing for Friday, January 7, 2005 to consider the application of the New York Compensation Insurance Rating Board (NYCIRB) for a workers compensation insurance rate increase of 9.5 percent.
The hearing will be held at 11:00 a.m. at the New York City offices of the Insurance Department, at 25 Beaver Street, Room 510.
The rate application was submitted by NYCIRB, a non-governmental entity that serves as the advisory rate service organization for workers compensation in New York State. All workers compensation insurers must send statistics to the NYCIRB, which compiles and evaluates data and proposes rate changes that are subject to the Insurance Departments prior approval.
A previous application by NYCIRB for an increase of 29.3% was disapproved by the Superintendent on July 15, 2004, following a series of hearings.
The complete rate increase application may be examined at the offices of NYCIRB at 200 East 42nd Street, New York, NY, or at the Insurance Department:
Property Bureau

McLaren celebrate 50 years at Goodwood Festival
Goodwood Festival of Speed
It is 50 years since Bruce McLaren founded his racing team. McLaren enjoyed success in Can-Am, IndyCar, Le Mans – an above all Formula One.
The team brought a collection of their cars to the Goodwood Festival of Speed including some of their most successful machines.
McLaren M1A (1964)
Bruce McLaren began building racing cars in 1963. This 1964 sports car began the McLaren racing car dynasty. Examples with Oldsmobile and Chevrolet (5.7-litre V8) engines appears at Goodwood; the car was also built to accept Ford power plants.
McLaren-Cosworth M7A (1968)
Bruce McLaren achieved the rare great of winning a Grand Prix in a car bearing his own name at Spa-Francorchamps in 1968, at the wheel of a Cosworth-powered M7A.
McLaren-Chevrolet M8D (1970)
McLaren dominated the spectacular Can-Am series with the M8D. But tragically the team's founder was killed while testing one of the cars at Goodwood in 1970.
McLaren-Cosworth M23 (1974)
With the M23 McLaren enjoyed sustained success in the mid-seventies. Emerson Fittipaldi defected from Lotus to drive the car in its second year of service and delivered the title. Following his departure at the end of 1975, James Hunt took it to another title after an epic duel with Niki Lauda. That chapter in the M23's history is told in the forthcoming film Rush.
McLaren-Offenhauser M16C (1974)
McLaren scored two triumphs at the Indianapolis 500 with the turbo-powered M16. Johnny Rutherford's 1974 win was scored with a factory-run car, unlike Mark Donohue's 1972 victory for Penske.
McLaren-Honda MP4-4 (1988)
McLaren enjoyed a successful run with Porsche power in the eighties. But its F1 apogee came in 1988 with the devastating Honda-powered MP4-4. Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost laid waste to the opposition, winning all bar one of that year's 16 races.
McLaren-Peugeot MP4-9 (1994)
After Honda's 1992 departure McLaren spent a year using Cosworth engines, then tried and rejected a switch to Lamborghini power. Peugeot came on board for 1994 bit the partnership was not a success: McLaren endured their first winless season since 1980. The following year Peugeot were replaced by Mercedes.
McLaren F1 GTR (1995)
While their F1 team endured a fallow spell McLaren scored their first win in another classic race: the Le Mans 24 Hours, ironically using a race version of their iconic 'F1′ road car. JJ Lehto, Yannick Dal and Masanori Sekiya were the drivers.
McLaren-Mercedes MP4-13 (1998)
A rewrite of the F1 aerodynamic regulations and the hiring of Adrian Newey from Williams put McLaren back on the path to championship success. This is their most recent car to win the constructors' championship.
McLaren-Mercedes MP4-23 (2008)
Ten years later McLaren's home-grown hero Lewis Hamilton won the drivers' title in his second season, having narrowly missed out in his rookie campaign.
McLaren MP4-12C GT3 (2013)
The latest racing derivative of a McLaren road car compete in GT racing.
McLaren P1 (2013)
The P1 is McLaren's successor to the iconic F1, and will be one of the top performing road cards in the world when it goes on sale. It goes up against Ferrari's latest top-of-the-line model – the LaFerrari.

Dynamic capillary pressure in porous media : origin of the viscous-fingering length scale
Weitz, D. A. , Stokes, J., Ball, Robin and Kushnick, A.. (1987) Dynamic capillary pressure in porous media : origin of the viscous-fingering length scale. Physical Review Letters, Vol.59 (No.26). pp. 2967-2970. ISSN 0031-9007
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.59.2967
We measure the velocity dependence of the capillary pressure, ΔPc(v), between two fluids in a porous medium. At zero velocity, the interface is pinned, and a critical ΔPc must be achieved before the interface moves. For nonzero velocities, there is an additional dynamic component to ΔPc, which scales as v1/2 when a wetting fluid displaces a nonwetting fluid. We suggest that this dynamic component of ΔPc can stabilize viscous fingers, and obtain excellent agreement with experiment.

We certainly hope none of our readers were ever hoping to make a living producing intellectual property that could conceivably, one day, be converted to ones and zeroes and uploaded to the Internet! The Times reports this morning that dozens of professional illustrators are bristling over a request from Google to provide original artwork, free of charge, to be used as skins on the company's upcoming Chrome web browser, in exchange for only "a unique and exciting opportunity to display their work in front of millions of people." Of course, many of the illustrators who rejected the offer already do display their work in front of millions of people (in magazines and print advertisements and on television) and regularly collect paychecks for it. So what's the problem, then? Dozens of artists did give Google illustrations (probably because magazines are folding and paying less), meaning the others' outrage is completely moot. We guess Google didn't earn $1.42 billion last quarter by being dumb.
World's Richest Internet Company Not Wasting Money on Art
Some illustrators are bristling over a request from Google to provide artwork free of charge for the company's upcoming web browser. But others said yes!

German Florian Mayer defeated Bernard Tomic 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 on Monday, ending the Australian's chances of playing top seed Novak Djokovic at the ATP Montreal Masters.
Tomic, who was knocked out in the second round of the Washington tournament last week by eventual champion Juan Martin del Potro, complained of windy conditions but was more upset with his own lack of initiative after winning the opening set of the first-round encounter.
He will now have to hit the practice courts after missing a chance to build up some valuable hardcourt experience before the start of the U.S. Open in three weeks.
The Australian No. 1, ranked 41st in the world, got off to a good start but could not maintain his form against the experienced German.
"I was up 5-2 in the first set and should have closed it out in the second," said Tomic. "In the second set I didn't start that well. My concentration dropped and he played well."
Tomic managed only two aces and lost his serve four times.
"Florian is one of those guys who plays well once he gets his nose ahead," he said.
"In the first set he was tight but in the second I missed my opportunities and didn't focus very well — he took over then."
World No. 1 Djokovic has beaten Mayer in all five of their meetings including the first round of Wimbledon in June.
Croatian Ivan Dodig crushed Grega Zemlja of Slovenia 6-1, 6-1 to set up a meeting with the in-form del Potro.
Wickmayer advances
Meanwhile in Toronto, Belgian Yanina Wickmayer defeated American lucky loser Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 to book a second-round meeting with third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in the WTA Canadian Open.
The results:
At Montreal: ATP Montreal Masters: First round: Florian Mayer bt Bernard Tomic 5-7, 6-3, 6-3; Ivan Dodig bt Grega Zemlja 6-1, 6-1; Andreas Seppi bt Lukas Rosol 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(4); Pablo Andujar bt Amir Weintraub 6-1, 7-6(5); Ernests Gulbis bt Feliciano Lopez 7-6(4), 6-4; Marinko Matosevic bt Benjamin Becker 6-2, 6-3; Martin Klizan bt Thomaz Bellucci 5-7, 6-4, 7-6(6); Kei Nishikori bt Peter Polansky 4-6, 6-4, 6-2; Denis Istomin bt Janko Tipsarevic 6-4, 6-3; Benoit Paire bt Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6(1), 7-5; Jesse Levine bt Xavier Malisse 6-4, 7-6(4).
At Toronto: WTA Canadian Open: First round: Kiki Bertens bt Alison Riske 6-4, 1-6, 6-3; Varvara Lepchenko bt Ayumi Morita 6-3, 6-1; Yanina Wickmayer bt Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-4, 2-6, 6-4; Mona Barthel bt Jie Zheng 6-7(3), 6-3, 7-6(1); Dominika Cibulkova bt Jana Cepelova 7-5, 6-4; Flavia Pennetta bt Urszula Radwanska 6-3, 3-6, 6-2; Sorana Cirstea bt Olga Savchuk 6-2, 6-3; Roberta Vinci bt Julia Goerges 2-6, 6-4, 6-3; Klara Zakopalova bt Lucie Safarova 5-7, 6-3, 6-1; Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova bt Carol Zhao 6-1, 6-3; Sloane Stephens bt Kristina Mladenovic 6-2, 7-6(5).

text: ABSTRACT: This paper explores the causal explanations offered by the client, consultee,and consultant in a typical unsuccessful consultation. These causal explanations are examined in the context of attribution theory and research, and an attempt is made to show that biased attributions are often made by consultants as well as by consultees and clients. These biased attributions are discussed in terms of a cognitive-perceptual framework rather than the traditional motivation based "defensiveness" framework. Finally, implications of this cognitive attribution analysis for consultation practice are presented.

Police Suspect Arson In Shakopee Wine Shop Fire
SHAKOPEE, Minn. (WCCO) – Police have declared an explosion at a wine shop in Shakopee as a possible case of arson, and they're offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.
Fire crews responded to a report of a fire at the Wine Styles on the 8000 block of Old Carriage Court at about 3:05 a.m. Friday. When authorities arrived, it appeared the front of the store was blown away in some sort of explosion.
The wine store is part of the South Bridge Crossing strip mall. Police believe the suspect may have been injured while starting the explosive fire.
The force of that explosion is evidenced by what little of the storefront at Wine Styles is left. Joanne England co-owns the dentist office next door. She first learned of what happened on the morning news.
"I'm looking at it and thinking, 'Thank goodness it happened at 3 a.m.,'" England said. "My thought was 'Oh my God'. And so I went and woke my husband up and we jumped in the car and came down."
England's business sustained water damage, bowed walls and possible structure damage. The glass front door was boarded up. But this is only a fraction of what happened to Wine Styles.
"They were just gearing up for a busy holiday season, so that's really difficult," she said.
Too upset to go on camera, one of the owners of the store, named Amy, told WCCO they had just stocked up for the holiday season. Earlier, she believed that the fire was caused by a gas-line explosion.
A $2,500 reward was issued by the International Arson Association Investigators (IAAV). If you have any information, please contact the IAAV via their website, call Shakopee Police or contact your local law enforcement.

November 2010 Despite widespread reports that they're lazy, overly reliant on technology, and vain, a new study reveals that the kids of our nation, Australia's Gen Y, are all right when it comes to their body and beauty image.
Focusing on values related to body, beauty and general wellbeing, the survey, commissioned by Clearasil's Secrets of Looking Awesome website, found that despite reports to the contrary, Australian youth aged 18—24 have a healthy outlook on body, beauty and life in general.
Key findings:
• Exercise is in: Gen Y believe that hard work, including exercise and eating a balanced diet reap the best beauty and body benefits with 55 per cent reporting that exercise, and 35 per cent reporting eating a balanced diet are the keys to looking to their best this summer.
• Athletes over actresses: When asked who best represents both looking and feeling awesome, sporting identity Stephanie Rice came out on top with 34 per cent, beating out Aussie starlet Isabel Lucas (28 per cent), songstress Jessica Mauboy (25 per cent), and TV actress Jessica Marais (13 per cent).
• Faking it is out: Fake tanning was reported as the least popular way for Gen Y to look their best in the hot summer months with only 2 per cent of respondents favouring this quick beauty fix.
• There is no quick fix: The results of the survey also suggest that Gen Y recognize that maintaining a healthy weight requires a long term strategy with 76 per cent reporting that they don't have a swift solution for getting into summer shape.
• Not so vain: When asked what their biggest concern was in the lead up to summer, 36 per cent of respondents said that feeling tired and lethargic was their biggest fear, beating out body blues such as not fitting into last year's cozzie (24 per cent) and dry and dull skin (21 per cent).
• Friends over trends: When asked what's most important to them in general, respondents rated friendship (46 per cent) and feeling awesome, inside and out (46 per cent) over having the latest trends (< 1 per cent).
• Communicative or coy? Despite being the most communicative and tech savvy generation, the survey also revealed that Gen Y remain hesitant to share information and advice on looking and feeling awesome with friends with only 24 per cent reporting that they currently and regularly share tips. When asked what kind of tips they would share, 70 per cent reported that they would share tips on exercise with friends while 52 per cent reported that they would share tips on diet.

You can use the $DISMOU system service to perform the following three shadow set operations:
Remove a member from a shadow set
Remove a member from a shadow set for a minicopy operation (as described in "Guidelines for Using a Shadow Set Member for Backup")
Dismount a shadow set across a cluster from a single node
Dismount and dissolve a shadow set
The call to the $DISMOU system service has the following format:
SYS$DISMOU devnam, flags
The action that $DISMOU takes depends in part on whether you specify a shadow set virtual unit or a shadow set member in the devnam argument.
For a complete description of the $DISMOU service and its arguments, see the HP OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual.
If you want to remove a single member from a shadow set, you must make a call to $DISMOU. In the devnam argument, you should specify the name of the shadow set member you want to remove. The specified member is spun down unless you specify the DMT$M_NOUNLOAD option in the flags argument.
The MACRO-32 code in Example 5-4 demonstrates a call to $DISMOU that removes the member $2$DUA9 from a shadow set.
Example 5-4 Removing a Member from a Shadow Set
$DMTDEF FLAGS: .LONG DMT$M_NOUNLOAD MEMBER001: .ASCID /$2$DUA9:/ . . . $DISMOU_S - devnam = MEMBER001, - flags = FLAGS . . . .END
If you want to dismount a shadow set on a single node, you must make a call to $DISMOU. In the devnam argument, you should specify the name of the virtual unit that represents the shadow set you want to dismount. If you want to dismount the shadow set clusterwide, specify the DMT$M_CLUSTER option in the flags argument of the call.
When you dismount a shadow set on a single node in an OpenVMS Cluster system, and other nodes in the OpenVMS Cluster still have the shadow set mounted, none of the shadow set members contained in the shadow set are spun down, even if you have not specified the DMT$M_NOUNLOAD flag. After this call completes, the shadow set is unavailable on the node from which the call was made. The shadow set is still available to other nodes in the cluster that have the shadow set mounted.
If the node on which the shadow set is being dismounted is the only node that has the shadow set mounted, the shadow set dissolves. The shadow set member devices are spun down unless you specify the DMT$M_NOUNLOAD flag.
The MACRO-32 code in Example 5-5 demonstrates how to use the $DISMOU system service to dismount the shadow set represented by the virtual unit DSA23.
Example 5-5 Dismounting and Dissolving a Shadow Set Locally
$DMTDEF FLAGS: .LONG 0 DSA23: .ASCID /DSA23:/ . . . $DISMOU_S - devnam = DSA23, - flags = FLAGS . . . .END
When a shadow set is dissolved:
Each of the former shadow set members can be mounted as a single disk for other purposes.
Each volume, however, continues to be marked as having been part of a shadow set. After you dissolve a shadow set, each volume retains the volume shadowing generation number that identifies it as being a former shadow set member (unless you remount the volume outside of the shadow set). Volumes marked as having been part of a shadow set are automatically software write-locked to prevent accidental deletion of data. You cannot mount these volumes for writing outside of a shadow set unless you use the MNT$M_OVR_SHAMEM option with the system service MNT$_FLAGS item code.
The virtual unit changes to an offline state.
The MACRO-32 code in Example 5-6 demonstrates a call to the $DISMOU system service to perform a dismount across the cluster. When the shadow set is dismounted from the last node, the shadow set is dissolved.
Example 5-6 Dismounting and Dissolving a Shadow Set Across the Cluster
$DMTDEF FLAGS: .LONG DMT$M_CLUSTER DSA23: .ASCID /DSA23:/ . . . $DISMOU_S - devnam = DSA23, - flags = FLAGS . . . .END
You must specify the DMT$M_CLUSTER option with the flags argument if you want the shadow set dismounted from every node in the cluster. When each node in the cluster has dismounted the shadow set (the number of hosts having the shadow set mounted reaches zero), the volume shadowing software dissolves the shadow set.
Table 5-1 lists the options for the $DISMOU flags argument and describes the shadow set operations that use these options. For a full description of each of these flag options, see the description of the $DISMOU service in the HP OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual.
Table 5-1 $DISMOU Flag Options
$DISMOU fails if minicopy has not been enabled on the disk.
$DISMOU takes place, regardless of whether minicopy is enabled on the disk.
If connectivity to a device has been lost and the shadow set is in mount verification, this flag causes a named shadow set member to be immediately expelled from the shadow set.
Valid for all shadowing-related requests.
Honored for virtual units, ignored for members.
Ignored for virtual units and their members.

1967, Denmark
Beauty, fragility and failure comprise the work of Peter Callesen where what seem impossible becomes real. Grotesque or melancholic points are often revealed through surprising narrative discourses. A powerful poetic universe exists in paper works done with an exceptional meticulous technique. In his performances the artist presents himself as main character in a romantic fairy tale world of lost illusions.

Parents in Ontario, Canada apparently have no right to learn what their children are being taught about homosexuality.
A situation occurred in Hamilton, Ontario during a recent assembly led by the Gay-Straight Alliance -- an event which is required in the schools. Laura Wolfson, who identified herself as a lesbian and youth worship leader at a synagogue, was the guest speaker.
"This lady came into the school and spoke against Catholic teaching and spoke against Judeo-Christian beliefs around the issue of homosexuality," reports Dave Quist of the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada. "The very surprising thing is even though she was in a public school, taxpayer funded, when requests were made to see her speech, all efforts to do that were rebuffed."
Parents were repeatedly refused access, and the information and privacy commissioner recently upheld the decision to keep it under lock and key.
But such action regarding topics like the environment, homosexuality and other moral issues are not just a problem in Ontario.
"People are being seen as experts on a particular issue, brought in to speak, and parents are either not notified or legally not able to take their children out of class during that particular time," Quist explains. "It is an issue that is going before the courts in the next while, but it is a sad statement on freedom of choice for parents in the education system right now."
This case involves a parent who is asking to be notified about what types of sex education are being taught and when it is taking place. The school system has refused to disclose that information and will not allow him to take his child out of the class.
Some conservative political pundits are surprised, if not pleased, that Ann Romney is criticizing teachers unions for standing in the way of education reform.

Oct 24, 2011Uncertain futures aside, Rocksmith is a breakthrough title not just for the music genre, but for gaming as a whole. It's the first time a developer has been able to deliver a game that makes learning fun and deliver something meaningful in the process.
Oct 19, 2011It's rare to find a game that encompasses a teaching tool as effective as Rocksmith, with virtually no negatives to observe, while still being enjoyable to play. Though for the first day or two you'll feel some pain in the tips of your fingers as your new guitarist callous' begin to form, it's a small trade for the skills, abilities, and pride you'll feel as you level-up as a genuine musician. Nothing beats learning useful and fun real-life skills, especially when it's with something as cool as an electric guitar.
Nov 29, 2011As a game in the traditional sense, Rocksmith is barely there; it's essentially a practice aid combined with a rudimentary teacher. However, it is one that works quite well and is fully capable of letting you learn at your own pace - right up to the point where you could easily plug your guitar into a conventional amp and play a song unassisted.
Oct 17, 2012What is truly intuitive about Rocksmith is the fact that it works, let alone the fact that it works so well. Once the guitar is plugged in the learning begins, and there is a lot on offer in Rocksmith. Being able to use your Playstation to teach yourself an actual skill is a rare thing, and Rocksmith should be praised for the great leap it has taken in rhythm gaming.
Nov 7, 2011It's as simple as this: if you want to have fun with friends in a rhythm game, buy Rock Band 3, but if you want to learn guitar, buy Rocksmith. It works, it's fun, and no strange man with a handlebar mustache will force you to play Soul Asylum here.
Oct 19, 2011Rocksmith feels like a present from the rock gods themselves. This little slice of the future is the perfect tool/game to teach all skill levels a thing or two about rocking out on the six-strings.
Nov 3, 2011I can't help but think if Rocksmith had come out years ago before any of the other music/rhythm games that use a virtual guitar it would probably be the premier guitar based video game. That being said, Rocksmith is quite a different game and can stand alone in its own genre, as there is nothing available on the market that competes with it. Ubisoft has hit the nail on the head with this innovative title.
Oct 26, 2012While Ubisoft may have fundamentally failed to grasp the commitment behind learning actual guitar, the product behind it is sound. It may be a steep initial outlay to play, but if you're serious about learning guitar, this one will put you on the right path, while entertaining you in the process.
Oct 23, 2012It may not provide a quick arcade fix, but as a full on guitar tutor this is one of the most enjoyable ways to learn how to play. [Dec 2012, p.99]
Oct 17, 2012For those serious about the guitar, it's an enjoyable game and a structured way to learn. [Dec 2012, p.78]
Jan 31, 2012RS is a great teaching tool, but your experience is going to depend on how committed you are to learning guitar. RS won't turn you into a shredding Jimmy Hendrix overnight, but if you commit to practicing each day you're going to see results. Even if you're an experienced guitar player, you're probably going to find something to like in RS.
Nov 16, 2011Will Rocksmith revive the dying music game market – probably not. But as an engaging and entertaining tool to help beginners learn to play guitar, it is fantastic. In fact, I would not be surprised if in five years from now we hear a famous rocker or two say "I first learned to play guitar using Rocksmith." It is that good.
Oct 18, 2011Musicians finally have a game to call their own. Rocksmith delivers the most realistic music experience with a great track list, tons of options to tweak your sound, and progressive difficulty to test all abilities.
Oct 7, 2012Rocksmith tries to walk that fine line between a game and an educational tool, and sadly it gets confused a lot of the time. It has evolved the music rhythm genre of gaming, which is brilliant, but it has forgotten how much fun rocking out with your six-string should be.
Nov 4, 2011Many people might be turned off to Rocksmith due to its lack of party game appeal, but that's not what it's about. It's about making a difficult instrument easy and fun to learn, and it accomplishes that.
Oct 24, 2011Is Rocksmith always a thrill a minute? No. However, few recent games offer so novel an experience as playing a guitar part, and hearing the notes you play flow out of your TV as part of a great rock song. It's the added incentive a lot of potential musicians might need to put in the time it takes to excel.
Nov 19, 2012Rocksmith isn't really a game the same way Guitar Hero is. It's more of a complex educational software that uses the look of a video game for better motivation. You could easily use YouTube videos and Guitar Pro tabs instead - and thousands of self-taught guitarists do. Fortunately putting everything in one place and using nice game-like graphics create a product that motivates better than any "usual" software does.
Oct 1, 2012No matter how much physical pain we had to endure, we always had fun. To us, it was like rediscovering a lost love. It goes to show how useful a game (or better said: educational software) like Rocksmith can be. Almost anyone can enjoy it. Even an absolute beginner. [November 2012, p.82]
Sep 27, 2012If you're prepared to put in the hours and make those fingers bleed, Rocksmith is the perfect learning tool, hitting all of the right notes and striking a chord with rock fans.
Oct 21, 2011There's definitely room for improvement down the road, but Rocksmith's debut has one thing going for it above all else: it's the real deal. This ambitious guitar game delivers on its promise of intense rhythm gaming action tied to the act of actual guitar playing. It has something to offer players of all skill levels, whether you're picking up and learning the guitar for the first time or have been playing for ages.
Oct 21, 2011As a new IP and a ballsy take on the floundering music genre, Rocksmith is an awesome first step. The technology is fantastic, and while the gameplay could use some tweaks, the dynamic charting system is a great sign of things to come.
Oct 2, 2012Brings a fairly fresh approach to learning a real guitar. [Issue#223, p.72]
Oct 25, 2012Those of you who put in the time and effort needed will have a lot to gain from Rocksmith. Not just high scores, but the feeling of actually learning to play an instrument.
Sep 28, 2012Rock Band and Guitar Hero already have the party attitude, but Rocksmith needs to try harder to master this untapped school music teacher approach.
Sep 27, 2012Despite some really good ideas, Rock Smith still has this unpolished overall feel to it.
Oct 29, 2011The technology driving Rocksmith is awesome. Unfortunately, the software just doesn't compare. [Dec 2011, p.81]
Sep 27, 2012There are thousands of programs, YouTube tutorials and teachers that do a more effective job of teaching, and an army of clicky peripheral-based games that nail the fun element better.

Very interesting reading - explains in very clear terms what I've been thinking all along. I've always approached things in life with the phrase 'no matter how good you may think you are, there is someone who is even better.' And in my experience, if a person falls to the lure of hubris and considers themselves the best, fate inevitably intervenes to show them the error of their ways.

By Uncle Lee's Tea
170 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Nov 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.41 lbs (0.19 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Be careful to brew it as the directions say unless you want to have severe stomach pain... You can tell it works because if you eat unhealthy food it makes you feel like your stomach is going to die, and if you eat healthy food you feel fine for the most part.
i had a terrible diarrhea, after drinking this tea

Good thing Donya's got some new toppings for your touchy-feely display: a set of physical buttons and D-pads. Available in Japan for ¥999 (about twelve bucks) you get single, dual, and triple button stickers along with two D-pads to bring some much needed physicality to your handheld experience without sacrificing pocketability. We're not sure what marvel of modern science makes these tactile additions cling to your screen, but we do know they make firing off a few Hadoukens quite a bit easier.

Firefall Beta Keys!
It looks like that everybody who is in the current Firefall Beta, got two Beta Key invites, last night.
So all TOGgers who are currently playing Firefall, can send out 2 Beta Keys to other TOGgers. I have two available. If you need one, please PM me, and I'll send you one of the two that I have.

Side note, the new patch seems to have upped the spawns or aranha's around copa, I was popping 7 nests, rounding them up and gassing the lot of them (most achievements rolling past than you could poke a stick at ; ), put on about 30k XP last night.
Be good to see some toggers in TS, I've been popping in but haven't seen anyone (then again I am on Aus time currently).

It's not really closed beta anymore, they still use the tag to generate a bit of "ooh, I'm getting in before other people".
Hell, you can't give keys away on the Firefall forums atm there's so many... =)
