"Romney Right for These Times." That's the view of the Arizona Republic editorial board on the 2012 GOP primary race. The Arizona Republic is the Grand Canyon State's largest newspaper. The endorsement cites Romney as the best prepared to beat President Obama and the candidate with the best record on job creation.
For the task at hand, as defined by Republicans themselves, the real-world achievements of Mitt Romney far surpass those of virtually all the lifelong politicians against whom he is competing.
Romney's strong Mormon support in places like Mesa and his strong debate performance Tuesday, combined with his stance on illegal immigration and border security, surely helped secure the endorsement. Romney is also leading in Arizona polls, beating out rival Rick Santorum by double digits.

Such a heart warming movie, sends back great memories too.
it was good for what it is...i love hugh grant..
Just finished watching it on the plane to Nagoya. It looks like they're adding a few old movies to go along w/ the newer movies on the 777 personal video players. I think I've seen almost every Hugh Grant movie thats come along over the last ~10 years (some on dates, but mostly on the airplane, now that I think about it... I guess his roles are generally non-threatening enough), but I had missed this one.
It was entertaining enough to keep my interest (and distract me from prepping my helicopter pics for my blog!) Hugh Grant puts in a good solid performance as usual, and it was a somewhat unique premise. The only qualm is that the kid is such a dork, that watching the scenes about him are just painful. I'll give it a 6/10.
Now this film really suprised me. I hate most romcoms, especially the crappy Richard Curtis-esque ones (man, he used to write such good comedy).
"Bridget Jones' Diary" for example is one of my least favourite films of all time. This however was great. It's pretty original for a romantic comedy of it's type, which is always nice, and it's actually very funny in parts. Which is always good.
I recommend this to men as well as women as it's actually a GOOD romantic comedy. I think it's got something to do with it being told from a male perspective.
I didn't think I would enjoy Master and Commander as much as I did, because I'm not much for sea-faring adventure unless Capt. Jack Sparrow is somehow involved. Russell Crowe was wonderful as Aubrey, though, as was Paul Bettany (the Doctor was my favorite character). Their relationship with each other provided the best moments of the film.
This Is Spinal Tap. What do you say about a classic? I am not into metal at all, but I am absolutely for anything that parodies them (or music in general). There are so many brilliant moments in this film, from the backstage food selection (the Oreos with the tops twisted off, nice touch) to the guitar collection to the amps that go to 11 to the album cover debacle (there's a fine line between clever and stupid). So rewatchable.
I enjoyed Big Fish quite a bit, too, I just felt it was lacking that something that would really make it great. The story is imaginative, and the movie is so vivid (Ewan McGregor's hair sure stood out) and beautiful (compliments of Tim Burton). The father/son dynamic is at the heart of this film, and the emotional weight was just right... I don't know. It didn't totally do it for me. I hate not being able to explain why. I even cried during the credits when Pearl Jam's "Man of the Hour" was playing (even though that's probably more because of Ed Vedder's tendency to make me weep when he sings).
About A Boy was such a surprise! I wasn't sure what to expect when I started watching it. I remember when it first came out I really had no interest in it, I thought it looked stupid. But I was at the rental place today, and it caught my eye. My head began to crave Hugh Grant (and it was only .99$) so I added it to my stack. Looking back... good decision. Very good decision. It was a worthwhile to spend 90 minutes. I was really touched at the dynamic between Will and Marcus. He was a ballsy little kid, but he really grew on me. And I appreciated the fact that it wasn't Marcus's mother Will was going after. You'd expect that from a film like this, and I was, for a short while. I really enjoyed how things unfolded, and Will joining Marcus on stage was a beautiful moment (even if he went on to make a total ass of himself). The cushy ending worked, too, because it's not a typical cushy ending. (Well, I guess everything worked for me except for Ellie.) It really made me happy, and I'm not usually for happy endings wrapped up in a nice bow, when everything works out how it was supposed to from minute three of the film.
Now I want to read Nick Hornby's book.
Quite possibly Hugh Grant's best film. I've seen it many times, and every time is great. Plus who doesn't want to see him sing?
(comments may contain spoilers)
I. CONTENT (out of 3 stars plus bonus, composite of sub-criteria bellow): --->2.5 1.5 2.0 1.0 0.75 4.5 A-, " Very Good Movie, Highly Recommend"PG for slight violence
Growing up has nothing to do with age.
About a Boy is about Hugh Grant's best performance yet.
This was a very creatively funny movie. Hugh Grant's style of humor was absolutely perfect for this film. Pardon the cliches but this movie was heart-warming, sweet, and feel-good. It was a pleasent surprise of a movie that I recommend to anyone, especially those who appreciate dry, subtle humor.
I had a good time with this movie. Its previsible but very consistent. Hugh Grant is a great comedian, and his thoughts are really funny.

For the Detroit Lions, in a need of a game to get right, and the Tennessee Titans, in need of a strong showing before they lose control of their season, Sunday's game has a lot of importance. The Lions do not want to be 1-2, and the Titans definitely do not want to be 0-3. However, while this looks like a game the Lions can dominate they cannot afford to play down to their competition like they did in week one against the St. Louis Rams. Great NFL teams roll over teams like the Titans, the Lions are not that yet but they need to come out swinging and it would be nice to see a complete 60 minute performance out of QB Matthew Stafford. The Lions come into week three scoring 23 point per game on average. They have averaged 362.5 yards per game. Their defense has allowed 25 points per game, while giving up 299.5 yards. The Titans are almost polar opposites. They are averaging just 11.5 points per game and are allowing 36. Their offense averages 48 yards, while allowing their opponents t...

Choice of load balancing algorithms is critical to ensuring consistent and acceptable performance
One of the primary reasons folks use a Load balancer is scalability with a secondary driver of maintaining performance. We all know the data exists to prove that "seconds matter" and current users of the web have itchy fingers, ready to head for the competition the microsecond they experience any kind of delay.
Similarly, we know that productivity is inherently tied to performance. With more and more critical business functions "webified", the longer it takes to load a page the longer the delay a customer or help desk service representative experiences, reducing the number of calls or customers that can be serviced in any given measurable period.
So performance is paramount, I see no reason to persuade you further to come to that conclusion.
Ensuring performance then is a vital operational directive. One of the ways operations tries to meet that objective is through load balancing. Distributing load ensures available and can be used to offset any latency introduced by increasing capacity (again, I don't think there's anyone who'll argue against the premise that load and performance degradation are inherently tied together).
But just adding a load balancing service isn't enough. The algorithm used to distribute load will invariably impact performance – for better or for worse.
Consider the industry standard "fastest response time" algorithm. This algorithm distributes load based on the historical performance of each instance in the pool (farm). On the surface, this seems like a good choice. After all, what you want is the fastest response time, so why not base load balancing decisions on the metric against which you are going to be measured?
The answer is simple: "fastest" is relative. With very light load on a pool of, say, three servers, "fastest" might mean sub-second responses. But as load increases and performance decreases, "fastest" might start creeping up into the seconds – if not more. Sure, you're still automagically choosing the fastest of the three servers, but "fastest" is absolutely relative to the measurements of all three servers.
Thus, "fastest response time" is probably a poor choice if one of your goals is measured in response time to the ultimate customer – unless you combine it with an upper connection limit.
One of the negatives of adopting a cloud computing paradigm with a nearly religious-like zeal is that you buy into the notion that utilization is the most important metric in the data center. You simply do not want to be wasting CPU cycles, because that means you're inefficient and not leveraging cloud to its fullest potential.
Well, horse-puckey. The reality is that 100% utilization and consistently well-performing applications do not go hand in hand. Period. You can have one, but not the other. You're going to have to choose which is more important a measurement – fast applications or full utilization.
In the six years I spent load testing everything from web applications to web application firewalls to load balancers to XML gateways one axiom always, always, remained true:
As load increases performance decreases.
You're welcome to test and retest and retest again to prove that wrong, but good luck. I've never seen performance increase or even stay the same as utilization approaches 100%.
Now, once you accept that reality you can use it to your advantage. You know that performance is going to decrease as load increases, you just don't know at what point the degradation will become unacceptable to your users. So you need to test to find that breaking point. You want to stress the application and measure the degradation, noting the number of concurrent connections at which performance starts to degrade into unacceptable territory. That is your connection limit.
Keep track of that limit (for the application, specifically, because not all applications will have the same limits). When you configure your load balancing service you can now select fastest response time but you also need to input hard connection limits on a per-instance basis. This prevents each instance from passing through the load-performance confluence that causes end-users to start calling up the help desk or sighing "the computer is slow" while on the phone with their customers.
This means testing. Not once, not twice, but at least three runs. Make sure you've found the right load-performance confluence point and write it down. On your hand, in permanent marker.
While cloud computing and virtualization have certainly simplified load balancing services in terms of deployment, it's still up to you to figure out the right settings and configuration options to ensure that your applications are performing with the appropriate levels of "fast".

Product description
Plato, the great philosopher of Athens, was born in 427 BCE. In early manhood an admirer of Socrates, he later founded the famous school of philosophy in the grove Academus. Much else recorded of his life is uncertain; that he left Athens for a time after Socrates' execution is probable; that later he went to Cyrene, Egypt, and Sicily is possible; that he was wealthy is likely; that he was critical of 'advanced' democracy is obvious. He lived to be 80 years old. Linguistic tests including those of computer science still try to establish the order of his extant philosophical dialogues, written in splendid prose and revealing Socrates' mind fused with Plato's thought. In Laches, Charmides, and Lysis, Socrates and others discuss separate ethical conceptions. Protagoras, Ion, and Meno discuss whether righteousness can be taught. In Gorgias, Socrates is estranged from his city's thought, and his fate is impending. The Apology (not a dialogue), Crito, Euthyphro, and the unforgettable Phaedo relate the trial and death of Socrates and propound the immortality of the soul. In the famous Symposium and Phaedrus, written when Socrates was still alive, we find the origin and meaning of love. Cratylus discusses the nature of language. The great masterpiece in ten books, the Republic, concerns righteousness (and involves education, equality of the sexes, the structure of society, and abolition of slavery). Of the six so-called dialectical dialogues Euthydemus deals with philosophy; metaphysical Parmenides is about general concepts and absolute being; Theaetetus reasons about the theory of knowledge. Of its sequels, Sophist deals with not-being; Politicus with good and bad statesmanship and governments; Philebus with what is good. The Timaeus seeks the origin of the visible universe out of abstract geometrical elements. The unfinished Critias treats of lost Atlantis. Unfinished also is Plato's last work of the twelve books of Laws (Socrates is absent from it), a critical discussion of principles of law which Plato thought the Greeks might accept. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Plato is in twelve volumes.

UPDATE: Deutsche Bank Initiates Coverage on Ladder Capital on Positive Outlook
In a report published Monday, Deutsche Bank analyst Stephen Laws initiated coverage on Ladder Capital Corp. (NYSE: LADR) with a Buy rating and $22.25 price target.
In the report, Deutsche Bank noted, "We expect LADR to generate attractive returns given the improved operating environment and the supply-demand imbalance for CRE debt. We believe LADR is well-positioned for a range of different market conditions given the three complementary business lines: 1) loan origination and securitization, 2) CMBS investments, and 3) net lease and other real estate assets. Our target of $22.25 per share is based on a 50% premium to our post-IPO adjusted BVPS estimate. Given our ROE estimates and the attractive valuation, we are initiating coverage with a Buy rating."
Ladder Capital Corp. closed on Friday at $18.60.

DOR released its January revenue report Tuesday afternoon, just as the latest snow event commenced. There was a blizzard of good news in the report as revenues came in at $2.053 billion, up $208 million or 11.3 percent from January 2010.
Collections were strong across the board, with the only below benchmark collection (other than income tax refunds paid) in corporate and business tax, for which January is a small month anyway.
Two tax types — sales and income tax cash estimated payments — are worthy of a closer examination.
Sales tax reported in January reflects December activity, since sales tax is reported on the 20th of the month following. Regular sales tax (excluding meals and motor vehicles) collection was up $21 million or 6.1 percent from January of a year ago. That is a sign of consumer confidence in a recovering economy.
Income tax cash estimated payments are made when taxpayers have experienced an unexpected gain in income, most frequently, from the sale of stock or some other asset that is reported as a capital gain. It was a precipitous drop in capital gains that triggered the massive falloff in revenue collection in FY09, when the collection fell from $20.88 billion in FY08 to $18.259 billion in FY09.
FY11 is seeing a modest recovery in this area. For the first seven months of the current fiscal year, income tax cash estimated payments total $1.199 billion, up $239 million or 24.9 percent from the same period a year ago.
There are a couple of theories on this increase. One is that some investors, not knowing if the Bush-era tax cuts would be extended or eliminated, sold off assets in 2010 to avoid paying a higher tax in 2011 (a scenario that did not come to pass when President Obama agreed to extend the tax cuts.) If this indeed happened, the state would see an increase in estimated payments. The other possibility is that as the economy recovers, and investors recover, they are selling stocks to realize capital gains, and having to pay tax on those gains.
When all is said and done, the state has collected $1.091 billion more than in the same seven months a year ago. The return of income from capital gains is playing a part in that. How much of these estimated payments will be reclaimed as refunds in April, when taxpayers "true up" their returns, remains to be seen.
(Editor's note: For a review of capital gains collections, see page 20 of the Consensus Revenue Hearing briefing book for FY12.)

I highly recommend watching this video if you are interested in getting more information about circumcision. You can also look it up on YouTube "The Elephant in the Hospital".
I know people have posted it before, but thought there might be some people needing to make this decision soon, so thought I'd share. Not really looking for a debate, everyone need to make their own decision, but it's always good to make an educated one :-)
I clicked on this and it said it couldn't be found ...
Lol I don't want to debate either but that video is very one sided. Educational? I'm not sure since he barely touched on the benefits.
Do you have any links to articles with a strong case for benefits to elective cutting? If so, please post. In all seriousness, I would love to read them!
Oops, sorry! If you're interested in watching the video, google "The Elephant in the Hospital".
If y'all are on Facebook, check out the group saving our sons, fact based studies are listed.. Most people are wrong in their views on circumcision, I was personally shocked after I researched it all, both sides.
It's the parents choice and that's what it comes down to, I would never judge someone for going either way, it's always best to be educated about these decisions that can't be undone.
Are there any benefits?
Yeah there really aren't benefits... Ask your doctor, mine was very upfront with me about it. An intact penis is easier to clean than a circumcised one. It's all too common for this to be done to every boy born in the us, in California I believe (not positive but it's some western state) it's not even covered by insurance anymore because it's purely cosmetic. It's wild really.
Depends on the person. In the country my family is from circumcisions are not the norm, however, I have had several family members that had the surgery as teens or adults due to recurrent infections etc but in general it is not necessary. Maybe if your religion dictates. I will have my son snipped but that is definitely a personal decision.
My dad is a pediatrician who has worked with someone who devoted years of research into this exact topic. There actually are benefits. Lower risk of uti, lower risk of cancer in the penis, etc. Like most things you'll find arguments on both sides but there is scientific evidence showing some benefits.
I've looked and pros and cons and it is really hard to find unbiased information. I think I've come to my decision, but I would have liked good "nonpartisan" info. I just know that some boys have had complications for having it done, and some for not having it done.
Like with any surgical procedure there can be good things that come from it and negative. Like anything else both sides have their own place, and proper health practices determine in many ways how problematic the intact or circumcised penis is or can be. Like a baby girl, you have to clean her properly and teach her to clean herself properly or she will get an infection, an intact penis is very similar. Circumcision is widely accepted and if that's the route you choose, just own it and be confident. I would never shame someone for choosing that for their baby, I did appreciate a friend taking me aside and giving me pamphlet after pamphlet on both sides of the discussion. I just wouldn't have known otherwise.
You're totally right though it's nearly impossible to find impartial information, it is out there, just buried beneath opinion.
I know what we are doing. I don't judge any family who does differently. But I know that we have made the right decision for our family.
I just look at it like this; if he had been born circ'd, I'd have left him like that. No need to fix something that's not broken. We don't remove our babies appendix or tonsils prophylacticly.
I was being a bit sarcastic in my post. After doing quite a bit of research, I failed to find any benefits. But all sarcasm aside now, if your father's friend has recent info and data showing that circumcision lowers chances of UTIs and penile cancer, I'd love to see it. Everything that I had read showed that information as inaccurate. My husband and I were going back and forth about circumcising. I think we settled on not but if you have more info, I'd love to read it. Thanks in advance!
Going to school for cna I heard a lot of stories in the nursing homes about elderly men needing to have it done due to infections.
I would never want that for my child so we had our first done. His did start to heal back together and was surgically fixed. Even at age of 3 those cuts didn't bother him. I just did the Vaseline again.
We will be doing this sons as well.
Benefit is lower risk of penile cancer. My hubby's dad died from penile cancer. So yes, we circumcised our DS because of this even tho hubby is not circumcised. Please don't believe when people say their are no benefits because there are. Do your research.
Please realize when people say that "it is the norm", they most likely mean here in the US. In many European countries the only people circumcised have it done for religious reasons. One would think that there would be a higher rate of penile cancer in countries where the circumcision rate is below 20% but that is not the case.
The rate of that cancer IS higher in other countries where circumcision is not the norm.

I mean as long as she is around, Superman will never be able to break free of the curse. He would fall into the same trap again and we're going to have stories repeated over and over again.
Besides, Lois Lane is manipulative and loves to boss Clark around.
Her death would signify that we would have better stories and Superman would stop saving her all the time, to the point that it serves nothing more than just a plot point.
Does anyone think that she should just have a Gwen Stacy death?

Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University. She is also the founder of the African American Policy Forum and on the board of V-Day.
Rev. Clinton Stancil, senior pastor of Wayman AME Church in St. Louis.
Just miles away from the scene of the protests in Ferguson lies the grave of Dred Scott at the Calvary Cemetery on West Florissant Avenue. Born a slave in Virginia, Scott sued in a St. Louis court for his freedom. The case went to the Supreme Court, resulting in a landmark 1857 decision that African Americans were not citizens of the United States and therefore had no rights to sue in federal courts. The court described blacks as "beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect." The Dred Scott Decision is considered by many to be the worst decision in the Supreme Court's history. We discuss the case's significance with Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University and founder of the African American Policy Forum.
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Just miles down the road from the scene of protests in Ferguson, we're hearing a lot about Florissant. Just down Florissant is the grave of Dred Scott, who's buried in the Calvary Cemetery on West Florissant Avenue. Born a slave in Virginia, Dred Scott sued in a St. Louis court for his freedom. The case went to the Supreme Court, resulting in a landmark Supreme Court decision that's called the worst ever. In 1857, the court ruled African Americans were not citizens of the United States, and therefore had no rights to sue in federal courts. The court described blacks as, quote, "beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect," unquote. Again, the Dred Scott decision, considered the worst decision in the history of the Supreme Court, in the slave state of Missouri, the seven-to-two decision. The chief justice was a slave owner himself. In fact, a number of the Supreme Court justices were slave owners themselves.
To talk more about the significance of this case today, we're joined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University, founder of the African American Policy Forum.
Kimberlé, thank you for joining us. Professor Crenshaw, talk about the significance of Dred Scott's body just lying down the road on Florissant, the road we've heard so much about, as these protests continue and escalate.
KIMBERLÉ CRENSHAW: Well, really couldn't be more symbolic. As you point out, Dred Scott is widely regarded as being one of the worst cases ever. And there are two ways in which we might see its relevance in this particular moment. One, when the Supreme Court was trying to decide whether African Americans could be citizens, what they considered was the way African Americans were treated. They weren't necessarily looking at formal law. In a lot of ways, free blacks had more rights than white women did. But the overall idea was that they could be enslavable. The overall idea is that they weren't seen as having the same social worth as white Americans and could be enslaved for their own good. So the very possibility of their enslavability meant that, at least as far as the founders were concerned, they were going to be forever and permanently a stateless people. And that would have likely been the case had the case not led to a civil war.
But the second thing that is actually equally resonant now is that the Supreme Court was trying to resolve a slavery issue, once and for all, by reinforcing slavery, by saying that if you are a white person and you own a slave, you can do and travel and move anywhere you want with that slave, because the Constitution protects you. So they were trying to end it, in a way that's quite similar to the way the Supreme Court today is trying to end all agitation around civil rights, trying to end all agitation about integrating police departments. One of the reasons why the Ferguson Police Department looks the way it does is because the Supreme Court has rolled back on anti-discrimination law, rolled back on affirmative action, rolled back on voting rights, and has used the Constitution, the 14th Amendment, in precisely the same way that the Dred Scott case tried to do: to end the whole thing. And that's why Dred Scott is still relevant now, even though it's formally overturned.
AMY GOODMAN: And your concerns, Professor Crenshaw, as you look at what's happening in Ferguson right now?
KIMBERLÉ CRENSHAW: Well, I have concerns in that it seems as though the only thing that really ripped Dred Scott away from history was massive uprising. One was a civil war, and then the next thing that happened was a civil rights movement. What would we think would happen if there was a civil rights movement now with the weapons of mass destruction that local officers have? If we could just imagine what would have happened if Bull Connor had an armored personnel carrier. We might not have had a civil rights movement. And then if we had it, it would have been short-lived. This is why we need the president to be far more aggressive, not just in trying to make both sides happy. No president in a civil rights crisis can make both sides happy. Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson—they all had to step in very powerfully and say that these are matters that have to be taken up at the federal level, at the legal level. There are specific things that need to be done, and those don't involve just asking boys to act better or for there to be mentors. There's only so much you can do holding up your hands against structural and long-term racial problems, that Ferguson has clearly shown. This is the end of post-racialism. The question is, is it the beginning of something else?
AMY GOODMAN: Reverend Stancil, you were recently speaking at a church in Missouri that was founded by freed slaves that was celebrating its something like 150th anniversary. This issue of Dred Scott being buried down the road on Florissant?
REV. CLINTON STANCIL: Well, I think the professor framed that quite well. The Dred Scott decision was a bad decision. But it would have been a bad decision that would have—thank God that it didn't go unchallenged. And as the professor said, it caused an uprising. And many times, that's what moved the public debate, was the uprising. And I think this uprising that we're seeing in Ferguson is what's going to move the public debate, that we can begin to openly discuss the race. We can begin to openly discuss the lack of diversity, not only in Ferguson, but when we look around in other municipalities throughout the state of Missouri, we see the same thing occurring. And as the professor said, it's because there has been a cutback, there has been an attack on civil rights, there has been an attack on affirmative action. And now we're seeing—now we're beginning to experience—I don't want to say "see," experience—the results of it. And so I think the Dred Scott decision is very important. I think it shows great parallel that Dred Scott is buried right down the street from where this uprising is occurring.
AMY GOODMAN: We're going to have to leave it there. I want to thank Reverend Clinton Stancil, the senior pastor at the Wayman AME Church in St. Louis; Superintendent—former Superintendent Art McCoy of the Ferguson-Florissant School District; Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University; and Steven Hawkins, executive director of Amnesty International USA.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008-03-24/Single User Login
Single User Login enabled for administrators
This week, Single User Login was enabled for all administrators, allowing users, after migration through the system, to log onto any public Wikimedia wiki with the same username and password.
Unification occurs via Special:MergeAccount, a new special page. There, users will be asked to provide their password; this password and their e-mail address will be compared to those on other wikis; those that match will automatically be transferred. For those that do not match, users can submit more passwords (in the event that the additional account(s) are valid, but have different passwords).
In the case of impostor accounts, users are currently unable to automatically usurp those accounts, for security reasons. Users can request that bureaucrats (or stewards, for small wikis) usurp them manually, allowing the administrator to reclaim them. However, after unifying an account, impostors cannot be registered under the same name.
The feature is only available to users who are administrators on at least one Wikimedia wiki, and to access the feature, must visit Special:MergeAccount on any wiki that they are an administrator on. It will be enabled for all users at a later date, but in order to work out any bugs in the system, and roll the system out slowly, developers decided to limit the number of users who have initial access to it.
Single User Login is also not available for any private or "fish-bowl" wikis, including WikimediaFoundation.org, and internal, board, staff, ArbCom, and other wikis where account creation is not open to the public.
There are many outstanding bugs with the new system; first and foremost, local control on user accounts is broken in some ways with global accounts. According to developer Tim Starling, "The new user log, IP blocks on account creation, and AntiSpoof conflict checking are broken." Also, users must log in manually to each wiki; Starling hopes to allow users to log in once for all wikis, and fix user account controls, in the future.
Other bugs may not be fixed right away; preferences and e-mail addresses do not change from one account to the rest, and global accounts currently cannot be renamed. Starling "won't make any guarantees" to fix those bugs, although other developers may work on these.
Article validation tested
Meanwhile, an open beta of article validation is in progress, at the English and German versions of labs.wikimedia.org. Registered users can grant themselves one of two statuses: "Editor", which allows a user to flag a revision as being checked for vandalism and obvious nonsense, and "Reviewer", which allows a user to flag a revision as a "good" or "featured" article. When implemented, these statuses will likely be granted manually by administrators, but for the purposes of the test, any user can make themselves a "reviewer".
After doing so, users can mark specific revisions as "unapproved", "basic check", "good", or "featured" (the latter two designations available only to "reviewers"). The test will be open for 2–4 weeks. Its developer, Aaron Schulz, will implement changes based on comments about the test.
The extension will not be enabled by default, according to developers; individual communities will have to come to agreement as to whether the feature is desired before it is enabled.

The bad news is that Kathryn Bigelow's cult 1991 action flick Point Break is probably getting a very unnecessary remake.
The good news is that this terrible idea has allowed filmmaker Patrick Willems ("the Terrence Malick of YouTube") to imagine what that remake might look like if helmed by some of the best cult directors in offbeat cinema today.
And just like that you're suddenly wishing at least one of these were real.

One of my least favorite attractions...
One of my least favorite attractions...
Since May 2003
If in fact you do remember these things please accept my apologies. But I think what is happening here is a great addition to the park.
The Starcade is the best place to wait and do something while your friends use the restroom after riding Space Mountain. You might not spend a half hour there, but I'm glad it's there and fleshed out with games that focus on fun and not prizes.
Bigger news to me than PFF. Different strokes, you know. Is it only the downstairs or has the upstairs reopened? And are those photographs of all the games or are there more? I don't see Robotron...
Yay, now open the second floor.
Boo. Waste of space!
Stockholder and Walt Disney Autograph holder!!
Darn, I never took the time to have my picture taken with Ralph and umm Sara Silverman's character. I'm glad the arcade is back. We've spent a little bit of time there. Ditto on Pac-Man; it's my bf's favorite and it would be a shame if it wasn't back.
Looks a tad plain in there. Maybe a little space theming on the walls could help...
looks cool..but it looks like the newer machines were taken out like the pirate ride and the cranes..
My Art site
The arcades I went into as a kid were dark and felt similar to Flynns this just looks like a open space with arcade games next to the wall....I'm just saying this is Disney....do something cooler...make it feel unique
Those photos look like they're from a run-down mall, not one of the world's premiere theme parks.
*sigh* That TL refurb cannot get here fast enough.
Not impressed.

Unfortunately, Astia is not everywhere.
Printable View
Keith - there's still a fair amt of 4x5 Astia left in this country, and Badger recently imported a sizable batch of
8x10 at a reasonable price, but that's all gone with no more in sight. I would have bought a bunch if Cibachrome
were still a going concern. The point is, even in Japan the amt of Astia is finite because no more is being made.
Too bad ... it was a wonderful for printing but never caught on big here because it doesn't look as snappy for
raw viewing. It also was by far the best dupe film ever made, much better than CDU or EDupe.
I have about (10) 80-photo slide trays with Ektachromes and Kodachromes but haven't looked at them with my slide projector in about 15 years. I have recently scanned about two trays of the 10 and find that they show well on a 52" HDTV with music in the background, dissolves, titles, etc. Actually I think they look better than with a slide projector. But my memory isn't s good as it use to be. I've even created video from them and posted on YouTube. I think they're more interesting in these other ways than straight slide projectors. Easier to set up too. Certainly easier to keep guests from bailing out to go home early when they see you setting up a slide projector. Now you just flip on the HDTV and start the show before they can make excuses why they got to go.
Of course that was all 35mm. I also have medium format. But these 6x7's were taken with Velvia 50 mainly. When I printed chemically, I had to do a 4x5 internegative. So I was really using negatives anyway. I recently did a roll of Portra 400 in 120 and it scans well. As long as some companies are making something, it should be OK. I guess there's nostalgia and most people don't like change or to see things they have had a relationship with disappear. But we all have to move on at times and we will survive.
RIP Ektachrome 35mm still film 1942-2012 :(
OK, got that off my back.
Switching to Fujichrome Provia 100 until such time that Fuji stops making transparency film. I get all my film processed @ Dwayne's. Haven't had any quality issues at all. I just hope they keep doing well for the time being. I would patronise my local lab (in Oak Lawn district), but the price seems a bit high for (unmounted) E6.

Ektachrome 100HC, exp. 1988.
PKM-25 Can I come:) , kidding, sounds like a heck of a night!
I got a few bricks of Sensia 100 and Astia 100, so I think that can last for at least another couple years.
Awwww.. I just started shooting reversal again and I prefer Ektachrome skin tones over Provia :(
There's nothing like slides on a light table, almost like looking at the actual scene frozen in time.
Just last week I was showing a friend some 6x6 chromes and commenting on how the general public has completely forgotten about the magic of slides. By the time the analog revolution come full swing they may have to be reinvented.
Then again, I wouldn't mind using one of these...Attachment 47238
