New camera shots JMK- CC, please
Comments (9)
You guys dont know how excited I am on hearing about the focus!
Thats the reason I upgraded. My Canon was giving me very soft focus and it was all over the place.
So far its amaziiing! Very little noise and I go up to 1000 iso or so and it looks great!
Its heavier and bigger than my t1i.
Its a beauty! hehe!
Thanks for the CC. I usually add a lot more contrast, but I was playing around because I just always use the same steps over and over!
Congrats on the upgrade!!
2/2010 1/2012
I think these look super sharp too! Very nice. Also agree that I prefer the color edits. enjoy your new toy!!
How much different is the Nikon from Canon? I shoot with a T3i and I too am having majorly soft focusing :(
Me (26) + DH (30) = ❤ together since 06' est. 11'
Adalyn EDD 11/6/15 | Canon 6d 50mm 1.8
Comparing it to mt T1i- theres a whole lot of buttons and options (my DH said it has more buttons than an airplane, you know the captians cabin, lol anyway it was funny in spanish!).
Like I mentioned above, ISO is great. With the T1i at 800 I had to do noise reduction because they were very noisy. With the d7100 I go up to 1000 and barely any noise.
Focus is wonderful with 51 focus points, t1i has 9 focus points.
I mainly have been playing with it indoors because its been raining everyday and when its not its too hot and muggy and I just want to keep my lo inside. I use my lightscoop on it and the d7100 allows me a faster SS with the flash than what the t1i did.
Here is this snapshot I just took. My lo finally starting to move other than just sitting, loosing his fear of lounging fowards.
With my t1i I would have missed this shot completely (even at f3.5 - 4 which was my setting to avoid out of focus, but it still didnt work). This is at 800iso 250ss and f2.2
And thank you Krmielke!!
And Jenn, nobody knows how frustrated I was more than you!! Thank you for everything!

Trudy Ring: I Advocate...
BY Trudy Ring
November 29 2011 5:00 AM ET
…Planned Parenthood.
It has replaced the ACLU as the right wing's leading bête noire, becoming the subject of preposterous and utterly false conservative smears that claim it is practicing genocide and demasculinizing American men. Taking a stand against these canards is reason enough to support the venerable nonprofit health care organization (it's 95 years old this year), but also, if you think Planned Parenthood is only about making sex safe for heterosexuals, think again. In addition to contraception and abortion, Planned Parenthood clinics either directly provide or refer clients to a broad range of sexual and general health services, including testing for HIV and other STDs, cancer screenings, infertility treatment, and prenatal care, and the group is an advocate for honest, comprehensive sex education. And, as Planned Parenthood notes on its website, it is dedicated to providing "high-quality, sensitive, and appropriate" care to LGBT clients. Your donations help Planned Parenthood keep its services affordable, so think about sending a holiday contribution its way. Volunteers are always welcome too! PlannedParenthood.org

Gov. John Kasich recently met with the OFBF Board of Trustees about issues facing Ohio, including his proposal to modernize Ohios severance tax system to keep up with new oil and gas production. He says this will generate new revenue while still keeping Ohio competitive with other states. The Ohio Oil and Gas Association argues that the new tax is unfair, will reduce landowners royalties and could force the industry to move production to other locations out of Ohio. However, Kasich said the new revenue would reduce Ohios high income taxes, creating a jobs-friendly climate. OFBF is currently reviewing the proposal.

Wherever he went public holidays were declared, foundation stones laid, memorials unveiled and receptions and balls. The Prince made a point of meeting ex-servicemen and women. He spent nine days in Victoria, eleven days in New South Wales, four days in Tasmania, eleven days in Western Australia, six days in South Australia and eight days in Queensland. The Prince was seen as the embodiment of the White Australia, symbolic of the spirit of his race.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

4K Ultra HD is four times the pixel resolution of Full HD 1080p. Full HD has 2 million dots, or pixels (1920 X 1080— this means 1920 pixels wide & 1080 pixels tall). 4K has 8 million pixels (3840 wide & 2160 tall). So for every pixel on a full HD TV, there are four smaller pixels on a 4K TV. With four times more pixels, even the smallest details in a picture are visible.
Enhance everything you watch with precise detail. Sharp's proprietary built-in Revelation™ 4K Upscaler creates a 4K (3840 X 2160) signal from any source, making the picture clearer and sharper, with more depth.
Here's how it works: first, a dual-core processor fine-tunes the original signal for optimal picture quality in real-time. Any imperfections such as digital noise or artifacts are reduced to a minimum. Second, the upconverter chip interpolates the content to automatically populate for 4K pixel resolution by using a variety of specially programmed algorithms, including color conversion and contrast control.
Experience movies the way the director intended. Feel the action like never before. In earning the first THX 4K certification, the AQUOS® 4K Ultra HD LED TV passed over 400 rigorous tests covering 1000 data points, meeting the highest standards in picture performance. To the discerning consumer, THX 4K Certification is an assurance that the television is truly cinema quality.

Tall, radiant, and sensual, British ingenue Emily Blunt caught the attention of the public and press when she starred (at age 20) opposite Natalie Press in Pawel Pawlikowski's gentle, finely told lesbian romance My Summer of Love (2004). In the eyes of many Americans, Blunt (who counted this as her first cinematic credit) seemed to arrive at the top instantaneously. In truth, Blunt -- a London native -- had established herself on British television (largely in BBC productions) several years prior.
Summer, however, represented the actress' big global break. She plays a sexually experienced and playfully manipulative teen who seduces the younger and more impressionable Press into an impassioned love affair, while the latter's brother (Paddy Considine) becomes a born-again evangelical Christian and carries his faith to torturous, alienating extremes. The work garnered enthusiastic notices and performed well on the international festival circuit; it thus marked a fortuitous and brazenly intelligent cinematic bow for a young actress. Newsweek's David Ansen was not alone when he tagged Blunt (along with her co-star, Press) as a "major discovery." Variety's Derek Elley observed, "Blunt's perf as the mysterious, mixed-up Tamsin grows, adding a sense of menace which coincides with...Considine's loony Phil."
After a supporting role in the U.S. miniseries Empire (about the Roman Empire), Blunt landed her second major break -- and culled even broader exposure -- with a supporting role in David Frankel's bittersweet drama The Devil Wears Prada. As Emily, the obnoxious (yet soft-hearted) assistant to fashion mogul Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), Blunt delivered a colorful and impressive performance. As a result, she received a 2007 Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Although she lost out to Jennifer Hudson at that ceremony, Blunt won the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series, Mini-Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television for her work opposite Bill Nighy in Gideon's Daughter.
Blunt followed Prada up with planned supporting roles in such features as The Snow Goose (2006), The Girl in the Park (2007), Wind Chill (2007), The Great Buck Howard (2007), and The Jane Austen Book Club (2007).
In 2009 Blunt scored her largest starring role to date as the title character in the costume drama The Young Victoria. In 2010 she married The Office star John Krasinski, and in that same year they co-starred together in Gulliver's Travels. The couple would also each appear in cameo roles in 2011's The Muppets, written and co-starring Jason Segel with whom Blunt would co-star in the 2012 romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement and rounded out her 2012 with the Golden Globe nominated Salmon Fishing in Yemen, romantic dramedy Your Sister's Sister and the sci-fi action thriller Looper.

Originally written on Purple Jesus Diaries | Last updated 10/21/12
OK, yes, I know you don't exactly go hunting Cardinals, but we're not playing the Eagles this week either, and those you can DEFINITELY hunt. Especially bald ones, because their eggs taste so much better. Doesn't mean you can't still jump in this Purple Jesus Diaries Game Thread though and have some fun! The Minnesota Vikings are looking to get back to their winning ways after a scalping last week thanks to the Washington Redskins. It was an ugly loss, but oddly enough felt more like a bump in the road rather than a typical game from the purple. This week, that play behavior will be RECTIFIED. I also wanted to use that word solely on the fact that it sounded like "rectum." Sue me. Will Shirtless Ponder stop throwing interceptions? Will Purple Jesus get back to the holy land/end zone this week? Do you think Jared Allen will want to show up and, you know, do his job by getting a sack against a super porous offensive line? Maybe! We'll find out today though, or at the very least, we'll be talking about it in this thread. So join in! Enjoy the game, everyone! [follow]

When all is said and done more is said than done.
That is interesting stuff. IU has been able to get to the Dance almost every year. They just rarely do anything when they get there. Duke and UNC leading the way, as always.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Nick Williams is reportedly interested in coming to IU. He was originally committed to Marquette but was released from his LOI after Crean left. He is Alabama's 6A player of the year.
Arkansas and Indiana are his top two, apparently.
Mor recruiting news for the Hoosiers - Bobby Capobianco has given a verbal commitment to the Hoosiers. IU now has two 2009 commitments, Derek Elston and Capobianco.
On the Josh Harrellson front, the Herald-Times has this:
Harrellson was first contacted by new Indiana coach Tom Crean about a week or so ago, and said the two had a very good conversation and got to know each other.
Id like to visit, he said. When you think of Indiana, you think basketball. Its a great place with a lot of history. One thing that is really important to me getting to play immediately. I definitely wouldnt mind playing there.We got to know each other a bit, and I found him really down to earth, Harrellson said of his talk with Crean. He talked to me a lot about what Indiana is all about, what hes learning and the kind of kids he wants to play there.
According to a report from The Louisville Courier-Journals Jody Demling, Kentucky head man Billy Gillespie recently visited an open gym Harrellson was playing in. Purdues Matt Painter and Minnesotas Tubby Smith were also seen around the school.
Crean picked up his second commitment (first for the '08 class) in JUCO guard Devan Dumes.
From Terry Hutchens:
Devan Dumes had many scholarship offers and had planned to visit Ohio State.
But when Indiana University basketball coach Tom Crean and Indiana got involved in the recruiting process, the former Decatur Central High School and current Vincennes University player couldn't say no.
Late Saturday, after canceling his Ohio State visit and making an unofficial trip to IU, Dumes (pronounced Doom-us) gave Crean an oral commitment to play for the Hoosiers next season. The 6-2 shooting guard will sign a national letter of intent Tuesday night at a news conference at the Wheeler Boys and Girls Club in Indianapolis.
He becomes the third member of IU's Class of 2008 -- and Crean's first '08 recruit -- joining Tom Pritchard and Matt Roth. Last week, Crean received a commitment for the 2009 class from Bobby Capobianco, Loveland, Ohio.
"I just think the whole thing turned out to be a blessing really,'' Dumes said. "Right after coach Crean got the job, some people that I knew got in touch with him, and we got him some tape, and things just progressed very quickly from there.
"I just really liked his approach. He's someone who is a very straightforward person, someone who is going to make you work hard and someone who will help make you the best player you can be.''
Dumes, 20, spent last season at Vincennes, where he averaged 16.9 points per game and set a school record for 3-pointers with 109 in 273 attempts (39.9 percent). As a freshman at Eastern Michigan, he averaged nearly 20 minutes per game and was the fourth leading scorer at 8.1 points per game. In an early season game against Crean's Marquette team, Dumes scored 16 points.
"I think he remembered that,'' Dumes said with a laugh.
Dumes was a first-team All-Marion County selection as a senior in 2006 after averaging 24.4 points and leading his team to a sectional title.
Prior to Crean's interest, Dumes had never been recruited by IU. He said when Crean showed interest he knew he wanted to play for the Hoosiers.
"I think every kid who grows up in this area thinks about what it would be like to play at Indiana,'' Dumes said. "I can't wait.''

No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Short of It:
Annie Wilkes is Paul Sheldon's #1 fan and when she finds her favorite author on the side of the road, injured in a car crash, she takes him home to "nurse" his wounds.
The Rest of It:
It's King! And this one is a doozy. I'd forgotten the ending even though I've read it twice before and seen the movie so reading this book for the third time was like reading it for the first time.
Why did I read it again? Because another blogger hosted a read along for it (#MiseryRAL).
I am a total sucker for read alongs involving Uncle Stevie. As long as my eyes are not scratched up by a hair brush, I will say yes. That's all I'm saying about that. So when Care asked, I of course said yes.
The book. Wow. I had forgotten how intense the story is but I was quickly reminded just a few pages in. I won't go into details because if you haven't read it, you really must. Basically, Annie is nuts and when she finds Paul Sheldon on the side of the road, injured and needing help, she steps in and takes it a little too far.
Annie Wilkes is quite the character and King takes great pleasure in sharing all her cockadoodie mannerisms and oogie hygiene habits. Those words are sprinkled throughout the book, numerous times and every time I heard them, I got chills up my back. They are SO Annie.
And Paul, not as helpless as you think but still, what a predicament to be in. Trapped, injured and having to rely on Annie?? Oh my word. Yes, a tough situation to say the very least.
On the gore chart, this one is a little intense. But on the supernatural front, there is nothing really to speak of. What makes this story scary is that it could actually happen.
What's neat about the book is that there is a story within a story. Paul is writing a book while held captive and King spends a good chunk of time fleshing that story out. Almost to the point where one blogger wanted to read the rest of THAT story! No? Yes!
Overall, this was just too much fun to read as a group. Every time we came across a little gem, we'd hop on Twitter to comment. If you want to check out the comments, search for #MiseryRAL. I guarantee you will want to join in on the next King read along after reading some of those tweets.
To sum this up, I enjoyed the book more this time around than the first two times. I must have been very young when I read it before because I really didn't remember too many of the details. So glad I decided to read it again.
For more reviews, visit my blog: Book Chatter.
The story is never slow but there are moments where King is so good at building suspense that it makes other parts almost feel slow. Annie Wilkes is an interesting antagonist because of the way she encourages her captor to write and seems friendly, but does some really insane and awful things.
I originally read this book back in High school, my first experience reading King. I loved this book when I first read it & it's remained one of my favorites these past 20 years. Recently I've gotten into reading all the classic and newer King books that I hadn't read before. I had forgotten how much I loved his books, he's such an amazing storyteller! I was curious to see if Misery would still hold up as my all time favorite King after recently reading so many so I decided to re-read it. Surprisingly, it still scared the cheap out of me even though I knew what was coming LOL gotta say, it's still my favorite although now The Shining is a close second ;)
Stephen King and I have a tradition to spend every Halloween together. Okay, maybe that's just on my half.
After: Nail-biting scary but I couldn't put it down. As Annie Wilkes herself might have said: Well, Steve, I've got to hand it to you--it was cockadoodie good.
Misery was the second Stephen King book I ever read. This was very shortly after Dolores Claiborne. I came across Misery much the same way I did Dolores Claiborne - through my mother's subscription to the Stephen King Book Club. The big difference here was, my mother knew about me reading Misery. She had already read the novel (her buddy Andrita had loaned her the book when it first came out in 1987), and figured I was of an age (fourteen) where I wouldn't be too terribly scarred by the events of the book. There's nothing sexual about Misery, and for the most part, very little foul language. The violence is rather extreme, but we all know that bad words and intercourse are much worse than chopping people up, right? Anyway, back in the days before the interwebs, the Stephen King Book Club worked like this. They would start your membership by sending you King's newest novel. After that, they'd start sending you his old books in order of publication until a new book came out, and then they would send you the new one. After that, back to the old books. By the time Dolores Claiborne came out, Mom was all the way up to Misery. (By the way, I'm chronicling this nonsense because I will probably forget all this shit in a few years. I don't plan on rereading this man's entire library again before I shuffle off this mortal coil, and I would like to have these reviews to look back upon later in life. My apologies if I'm boring you to death. Where was I...)
Misery is one of my favorite King novels because it deals with writing and the writing process. And, next to The Shining, it's one of the best denouements he's ever written. I read the book long before I ever saw the movie, and, truth be told, I hated the movie for a long time. Kathy Bates's performance is exceptional, but the differences in the book and the film pissed me off. I didn't like the old sheriff character, and I missed the Lawnboy scene.
Now here's where shit gets interesting. The book takes place in Sidewinder, Colorado, which is the town nearest the site of the fire-gutted Overlook Hotel. Obvious connection is obvious, right? Well what about the mention of the Beam? Anyone catch that? Here's the exact quote: "And unless his assessment of Annie Wilkes was totally off the beam, that meant she had something even worse in store." Well, there you have it, sports fans. Even Misery comes back to the Dark Tower.
In summation: I've come to appreciate the movie for the well-made film that it is, but the book, as per usual, is still leagues better. It's a darker, bloodier creature than its cinematic sister, and that's probably the reason I like it more. No denying it, I'm a gorehound at heart. That hobbling scene, friends and neighbors... *shivers*

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0451169522, Mass Market Paperback)In Misery (1987), as in The Shining (1977), a writer is trapped in an evil house during a Colorado winter. Each novel bristles with claustrophobia, stinging insects, and the threat of a lethal explosion. Each is about a writer faced with the dominating monster of his unpredictable muse.
Paul Sheldon, the hero of Misery, sees himself as a caged parrot who must return to Africa in order to be free. Thus, in the novel within a novel, the romance novel that his mad captor-nurse, Annie Wilkes, forces him to write, he goes to Africa--a mysterious continent that evokes for him the frightening, implacable solidity of a woman's (Annie's) body. The manuscript fragments he produces tell of a great Bee Goddess, an African queen reminiscent of H. Rider Haggard's She.
He hates her, he fears her, he wants to kill her; but all the same he needs her power. Annie Wilkes literally breathes life into him.
Misery touches on several large themes: the state of possession by an evil being, the idea that art is an act in which the artist willingly becomes captive, the tortured condition of being a writer, and the fears attendant to becoming a "brand-name" bestselling author with legions of zealous fans. And yet it's a tight, highly resonant echo chamber of a book--one of King's shortest, and best novels ever. --Fiona Webster

After a car crash, writer Paul Sheldon is saved by his number one fan. She brought him home, splinted his mangled legs, and all he had to do in return was write a very special book, one all about her favourite character. Because if he didn't, if he was bad, she would be cross - very cross.… (more)

- Hello. I used to work on U1 transcription initiation during my thesis (which mean before 1993), and for as far as I remember removing of the -50 PSE element complitely abrogate transcription and moving the PSE element lead to change in the initiation start site. For experimental details you can have a look at Lescure A., Murgo S., Carbon P. and Krol A. (1992) "The proximal promoter and the start site cooperate to specify correct U1 snRNA transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II" Nucl. Acids Res., 20, 1573-1578. As you will dee in this article, initiation always take place on a purine.
Best regards, Alain
- Thanks for the answer but I'm not talking about the PSE element Alain. That this one is crucial I know. I'm talking about the 6 nt long initiator box directly in front of the transcription start sites. Some paper claim the PSE defines the transcription start site position. Others that the initiator box is crucial for transcription to start there. There seems to be no publications which deleted the initiator box and checked if transcription still happened and where it started.
Edit: The question is basically if removal of the initiator box does indeed cause a major decrease in transcription activity because some paper claim the initiator box is necessary for stabilization of the transcription complex.
- Hie Ulrike, I guess answering the role of the initiator box was the purpose of the NAR paper that I previously mentionned.

The Affordable Care Act remains unpopular: Wednesday's RealClearPolitics average of polls showed 51.4% disapprove while only 43.6% approve. Voters are more likely to be opposed than are adults overall, and opponents are more fervent than supporters.For example, a June 14 CBS/New York Times poll found that 30% strongly opposed "the health care law that...

"We can accept a politics that breeds division and conflict and cynicism," he declared in Philadelphia in March 2008. "Or, at this moment, in this election, we... A Tale Of Two Clinton Campaigns 19 days ago It's enlightening to compare two presidential campaign announcements offering two very different visions coming from one couple.Then-Gov. Bill Clinton's Oct. 3, 1991, announcement in Hope, Ark., included promises of "preserving the American dream" and "restoring the hopes of the forgotten middle class." He displayed a healthy skepticism of government, promising that his administration wouldn't "spend our money on programs that don't solve... The Promise And Problem Of A Big GOP Field 26 days ago The Republican presidential primary is a jumbled mass of competitors, with new ones joining the jostling for support seemingly every week. Meanwhile, the Democrats have more a coronation than a contest, with one figure ignoring the rabble en route to the nomination.

Are Social Issues Hurting Republicans? about 1 month ago This is a time when it's necessary to read beyond the headlines.

Many would suddenly find it impossible to pay for the insurance plan they're on now.President Barack Obama will... The Messes Obama Will Leave Behind 2 months ago At last Saturday's White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Obama declared he was determined to "make the most of every moment" left in office, saying he had been working on a "bucket list" that included executive action on immigration and climate regulation. Aware that his critics believe he's often acted lawlessly, Mr. Obama joked that the title for his list rhymes with "bucket." Regardless of what items Mr. Obama checks off,... Congress Is Finally Back On Track 2 months ago The dysfunctional Congress finally appears to be working again as the Founders intended. Lawmakers are negotiating, voting on bills and actually passing legislation.

2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette Q&A
2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette Question: How do I Find a bad ground wire? Is it hard to trace?
My turn lights go very fast when the brake is applied. Both turn lights are slightly lit when I engage the brake pedal without the turn signals on. I replaced three bad bulbs, but the problem wasn't solved. An employee of the auto store told me it was probably a rusted off ground wire. I was wondering if this is simple to resolve or if it would be inexpensive to have a mechanic fix. - vicevandy

'Zero Dark Thirty' has the facts wrong ŌĆō and that's a problem, not just for the Oscars
The movie 'Zero Dark Thirty' is a gripping drama and credible contender in this yearŌĆÖs Oscar competition ŌĆō nominated for five Academy Awards. But because it advertises itself as factually grounded, I have to point out: On each of its three major points, the film gets the story wrong.
Jonathan Olley/Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc./AP/File
Cambridge, Mass.
The movie ŌĆ£Zero Dark ThirtyŌĆØ is unquestionably a gripping drama and credible contender in this yearŌĆÖs Oscar competition (nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay). If director Kathryn BigelowŌĆÖs film presented itself principally as fiction, it could be judged exclusively on its technical or dramatic merits, which are considerable. But because it advertises itself as a factually grounded ŌĆ£journalistic filmingŌĆØ of the hunt for Osama bin Laden,┬Āit cannot duck a further question about what it owes to truth.┬Ā
Of necessity, condensing years into minutes and crafting story lines that engage the viewer require simplification. But it is still fair to ask whether the central lessons viewers will take away from the film are consistent with what really happened.
As a teacher, I am aware that this movie will shape more AmericansŌĆÖ understanding of the war against Al Qaeda┬Āthan scores of books and major articles. As citizens, we know that cinematic historical fiction has left many Americans believing remarkable falsehoods. Oliver StoneŌĆÖs ŌĆ£JFKŌĆØ┬Āleft a generation of students asking why the CIA conspired to assassinate an American president.
My account of the decisionmaking process that led to the raid on Osama bin LadenŌĆÖs compound was a lead article in TIME magazineŌĆÖs May 7, 2012 issue, a year after bin LadenŌĆÖs death. And from my study of what really happened, I see glaring holes in the story as portrayed by ŌĆ£Zero Dark Thirty.ŌĆØ
In assessing the essential veracity of the film, we could ask┬Āordinary viewers three questions:
- Was information extracted by ŌĆ£enhanced interrogationŌĆØ the key in┬Āfinding the terrorist mastermind who killed 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001?
- Would ŌĆ£the systemŌĆØ (CIA as an organization with its counter-terrorism professionals and practices) have failed had it not been for the tenacious risk taking of one young female CIA agent?┬Ā
- Was the White House, and specifically President Obama, essentially irrelevant or even a drag, delaying what should have been an easy, quick, early action to eliminate bin Laden?
Most viewers I have spoken to believe, based on the film, that the answer to each of these questions is yes. In fact, in each case, the answer is no.
The first question ŌĆō whether ŌĆ£enhanced interrogationŌĆØ or torture provided information key to getting bin Laden ŌĆō has been debated exhaustively. The verdict is that the film exaggerates the pervasiveness and effectiveness of torture.
On the second question, as to whether the CIA would have failed were it not for the grit of a female CIA officer, the truth is thousands of intelligence officers ŌĆō literally thousands ŌĆō devoted a decade of extraordinary work collecting information from sources of all kinds, analyzing it for minute clues, connecting dots, and then subjecting conclusions to competing analyses that connected other dots to contrary conclusions. A number of these analysts were outstanding young women. But the filmŌĆÖs hype of a fictional heroine who succeeded by defying ŌĆ£the systemŌĆØ is fundamentally misleading.
Third, far from the filmŌĆÖs portrayal of Mr.┬ĀObama as an obstacle to success in this case, in fact, he was a critical energizer who intensified the search for bin Laden in 2009. And he was the decider who chose the raid that killed America's most-wanted terrorist. Counterfactuals require difficult and debatable assessments. But in my judgment, if┬ĀGeorge W. Bush had remained president, there is no reason to expect that the search for bin Laden that his last CIA Director testified had by February 2009 ŌĆ£gone coldŌĆØ would have heated up. And there is no question that if Vice President Joe Biden or Secretary of Defense Robert Gates had been president, as each has said, he would not have ordered the raid.
From the facts of what actually happened rather than the fiction, what should citizens take away from this dramatic event?
First, Obama and his national security team demonstrated that, contrary to what knowledgeable Washingtonians know, the US government can keep a secret. In this case, it┬Ākept the biggest secret the press never got to publish in advance of events. Contrary to ZeroŌĆÖs message that the White House dithered for five months for political advantage, Obama and leaders of the CIA took the time required to cross examine the evidence, explore options for action, and, in the end, make a hard call.
While the movie's heroine claimed ŌĆ£100 percent confidenceŌĆØ that bin Laden was in the compound months before the president made his decision, CIA Director George Tenet conveyed the same level of confidence in assuring President Bush that finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq would be a ŌĆ£slam dunk.ŌĆØ┬ĀAnd in fact, Mr. Tenet had more evidence for WMD in Iraq than the CIA had for bin LadenŌĆÖs being at the compound the Navy SEALs raided the night of May 2, 2011.
Second, this mission could not have succeeded had Obama not been commander in chief of the US government in 2009 rather than the US government in 2000. Over that decade, the intelligence community and Defense department created advanced technologies and trained professional terrorist manhunters that gave Obama options not available to any previous American president or any other leader on earth.
Finally, contrary to a favorite Hollywood trope, the dominant storyline in the hunt for bin Laden is that the US government worked.
In the investigation of what was not done in the years before the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the most memorable line came from White House counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke who said: ŌĆ£Your government failed you.ŌĆØ┬ĀBut the most important takeaway from the bin Laden operation is that American government performed. It not only succeeded in a supremely difficult assignment. It did so by achieving a level of performance across many agencies of government because of thousands of unsung heroines and heroes ŌĆō not a singular maverick. That should make all Americans┬Āproud.

A TV review of IFC's "The Spoils Before Dying" and HBO's "7 Days in Hell."
A documentary featuring Vikram Gandhi, Purva Bedi and Kristin Calgaro.
Growing up in New Jersey, Vikram Gandhi was a typical American kid who resented the way his family tried to enforce Hindu beliefs and practices. He found it ironic that Americans began to popularize gurus and yoga just at the time he was growing away from such things. On a trip to India, he says, he found that "real" gurus were no more real than the American frauds who copied them.
That led him into the deliberate deception that he filmed in "Kumare." He grew a long beard and a pony-tail, exchanged his shoes for sandals, switched his slacks and suits to flowing orange robes, and started carrying an ornate walking stick. Then he moved to Arizona, hired an expert to teach him yoga and a PR woman to promote him as a guru, and began to attract followers in meetings at shopping malls, community centers and around the swimming pools of his affluent clients. His accent was modeled on the way his grandmother spoke English. His teachings were deliberate gibberish: talk of inner blue lights, "finding the guru within," and chants of fabricated mantras.
At this point in the film, it takes an odd turn. Kumare's followers believe him without question. They share their deepest secrets with him and visibly appear to benefit from him. These people are not dummies. Mostly middle-aged, they take their health seriously, are somewhat skilled at yoga and follow schedules of meditation. "Kumare" seems to establish that a guru can be a complete fraud and nevertheless do a certain amount of good, because what matters is not the sincerity of the guru but that of his followers.
Gandhi seems typecast for the role of Kumare. Tall, thin, bending forward to listen better, he speaks warmly and encouragingly, and makes deep eye contact. He smiles easily. He never pushes too far. He seems as real as any guru and more real than some. His teaching of yoga seems within the ability of his followers to accomplish. He narrates the documentary (in an ordinary American voice), introduces us to followers he's grown close to, and begins to believe he may have started something that was out of his control.
He tells his followers the time has come for him to leave them. Now they are on their own. He returns to New Jersey, cuts his hair, shaves his beard, and begins to practice a speech in the mirror: "I am not who you think I am." Whether he ever says this, and how the movie ends, I will leave for you to discover.
It seems to me that "Kumare" reflects a truth that is often expressed in three words: "Act as if." If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true. It doesn't matter if a teacher's spiritual teachings have any basis. It doesn't matter if the supernatural even exists (Gandhi believes it does not). His followers benefit by acting "as if."
When I first heard this film described, I assumed it would be a satirical, snarky comedy like Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat." Not so. Gandhi seems to be essentially a good man, and he learns things of value to himself in his experiment. In a sense, the deception he practices on his followers is contemptible, but in another sense, they're all in it together. The film's implication seems to be: It doesn't matter if a religion's teachings are true. What matters is if you think they are.

Not the most common of connections, but that's the angle that Bloomberg's Robert Hilferty takes in his review of Proust's The Lemoine Affair:
A hundred years ago French novelist Marcel Proust (1871-1922) lost money in the stock market, too. And as he would in the epic In Search of Lost Time, he converted the stuff of life into art. [. . .]
Translated by the super-talented Charlotte Mandell, this is the first time The Lemoine Affair is available in English, and it's part of Melville House's Art of the Novella series. (Which has been getting a lot of play here the past few days.)
As described on the Melville House site, this novella is a series of pastiches in which Proust imitates the writing styles of other famous French authors, such as Flaubert and Balzac. Based on this alone, I still can't believe this never came out in English before. And the story behind the novel just adds to my disbelief:
A Parisian engineer named Henri Lemoine claimed to have invented a method of manufacturing diamonds from coal. He convinced the London-based president of the De Beers diamond empire, Sir Julius Wernher, to underwrite the process. The executive invested about a million francs before the fraud emerged.
After De Beers stock plummeted because of the scandal, Lemoine bought shares expecting to profit when the stock recovered. The ruse was discovered and Wernher sued Lemoine, who was tried and imprisoned in 1908.
