WALLA WALLA — Buffalo Soldiers came out to role play at this weekend's Fort Walla Walla Days.
Five reenactment soldiers from Seattle donned uniforms of the 10th U.S. Calvary — three brought their horses — to relive and recount an 85-year history of segregated military service by African Americans.

Buffalo soldiers
Saturday's Fort Walla Walla Days included an encampment by buffalo soldier re-enactors.
"As a kid I started studying history. And then I met veterans. And they told me a different story of history," Buffalo Solder Sgt. Lenard Howze said.
All day Saturday, Howze and his fellow reenactment soldiers taught on the triumphs and trials of the Buffalo Soldiers, who existed under different names but still served as segregated Army personnel from 1866 until the Army disbanded its all-African American units in 1952.
"A lot of times the blacks from California had to learn how to live in the South," Buffalo Soldier reenactment member Larry Jones said, noting that most of the training camps during World War II were in the South. "You couldn't go into the officer's mess, but some German prisoners could."
Like most reenactment soldiers, Jones' interests go beyond being a Buffalo Soldier. He also portrays members of the British Royal Air Force, a 10th Calvary Spanish-American War veteran, a British paratrooper and a cowboy action shooter. And he has more than a dozen mannequins at home with authentic military uniforms from different ages, as well as other military artifacts.
For Howze, his Buffalo Soldier reenactment started in 1993, when he participated in the Oregon Trail Sesquicentennial. What followed for him were years of studying, fact compiling and teaching about African American soldier accomplishments, which include the following:
More than 180,000 African American soldiers served in the Union Army before and during the Civil Wary, and 33,380 deaths were recorded during their service.
The Cheyenne Indians called the African Americans Buffalo Soldiers because of their "woolly hair," courage and fighting skills.
Buffalo Soldiers received 18 Medal of Honor awards during the Indian Campaigns.
23 African Americans earned the nation's highest honor for valor during the Civil War.
Another little known fact about Buffalo Soldiers was that they served at Fort Walla Walla at various times, with the last time being in 1904, when they were reassigned and never returned, museum Executive Director James Payne said.
"It was kind of serendipity that they said they were available this year," Payne said.
Along with the return of the Buffalo Soldiers, this weekend's Fort Walla Walla Days will also include the return of nearly 500 Civil War military artifacts, a Civil War field hospital demonstration by Frank "Rusty" Starr, music, dancing, a barbecue, ice cream and other entertainment and historical displays.
The museum is open today 10-5 p.m.
Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $3 for children six to 12 and five and under are free.

Featuring a clear finish with a PAR38 shape and an E26, skirted base, it works as a great replacement for a standard 75-watt incandescent flood lamp. Rated at 1,500 life hours, the S2248 uses less energy than a standard lamp at 60 watts. The flood angle of 30 degrees has an initial lumen output of 1090 lumens making this lamp an ideal choice for display, landscape, and retail lighting applications.

Bear in mind I'm not saying this is a five-star hotel (obviously), but for the money this place was legit. As a student I'm usually scraping the bottom of the piggy bank to do anything other than sleep and study.
Girlfriend and I came up to Tahoe for New Years this time around. As usual she took a while to get ready, and we were already driving up from the bay area. Finally she comes out and announces she's ready to go, and we head out around 7 PM.
We get to the Pine Cone Acre about quarter to 11 on Dec 30th. It was late as hell. Luckily, the neon sign said open and the lights were still on. Unluckily, the service window was closed and there wasn't a soul around. We knocked but there was no answer.
Losing hope we called the phone and left a message, telling them we were outside.
Success! A sleepy looking dude comes to the window and says that if we were two minutes later he wouldn't have heard the call. I think he was just being polite and got had just gotten out of bed and put on a friendly face to help out a couple young people get a warm bed. He was a nice guy, very informative and helpful. He told us that the place was full of college kids attending SnowGlobe and we let him know that was our agenda as well.
Room was clean and cozy. Heater was off the chain and the shower water was instantly warm. I don't go on vacation to watch TV, but if that's your thing they have all your usual cable channels. Wifi reception was strong, no problems there. No fridge, but that was the only downside.
We had unfortunately already booked another hotel for the next couple nights (long story) and lamented that we had to leave the great Pine Cone Acre.
The only reason I can think of why the rates are low is because not too many people know about it. It's past the right turn folks take onto Lake Tahoe Boulevard off of Highway 50. But in terms of location my GF and I had no complaints.
I'll be staying here every time I come to Tahoe.

Photos of the Fallen: Americans shot down in Afghanistan
Insurgents shot down a U.S. military helicopter during fighting in eastern Afghanistan, killing 30 Americans, most of them belonging to the same elite Navy SEALs unit that killed Osama bin Laden. You can pay tribute to the fallen servicemen on this Facebook page.
Andy Harvell
"Andy was a loving husband to his wife Krista, a caring father to his two children Hunter and Ethan and a proud United States Air Force combat controller," his family said in a statement. "He was also a bad-ass warrior who struck fear in the hearts of terrorists. We will miss him forever but we take solace knowing he gave his life serving his country and fighting for what he believed was right."

i can't help too much with the street legal stuff but i will be doing the same to my xc-w in early may. i would do it now but im going to baja in just under a month and don't like the idea of possibly not getting my CO title in hand b4 the trip. i have licensed dirtbikes in the past but i think they've instituted some new laws since like the vin verification with troopers only. used to be you could get the local boys to sign off on it.
i do like running a trials tire for a few real tech trips throughout the summer. i know the pirelli is dot approved so that takes care of the rear but what r u going to put on the front? i dont want to blow $75 on a tire i will never actually use except for the licensing. maybe the front i settle on for baja will be dot approved and i could use that.
as for the protective stuff for the bike again i would put the Hyde Racing skidplate on. that material and mount is bulletproof.
for the seat i've swapped the stocker for the enduro engineering tall soft seat. i'm only 5'11" so the tall seems like a bad idea but in reality it sinks pretty well when you sit on it and it is very comfy. this seat also holds me in position very well as it molds around your butt (which is great as long as you start off in the right position!) EE makes a normal height soft seat but it is a different animal and not nearly as soft.
regarding the tame low end you are talking about for tech riding you might find the map switch to work well for the least $$. (providing it actually works on our bike. my buddy had one on his 500 and swore he could feel the difference but took it off as he was always running stock setting anyhow).
i need a horn but want it to be small and inexpensive (good luck, i know) as i prob wont run it often. i'd be interested in what you decide on. also the brake light switch, i've had bad luck with the rear brake/banjo bolt type switches breaking and losing pressure. i've heard there are switches avail for the front brake, any experience?
the jd tuner sounds like a decent buy but i havent found a reason to blow the money as i couldn't imagine needing more/richer power. Is anyone running one?? results??
i would like the shorai battery as well but the stocker is so strong and the bike starts immediately when i hit the magic button, maybe next winter. the shorai website says to turn something on the bike on for a little time during cold weather starting b4 hitting the starter and it will perform much better. but my headlight doesn't work with the bike off sooo.. maybe kick bike first time on cold mornings?

Milwaukee Irish Arts shines light on shameful past with 'Eclipsed'
In February, Ireland finally came clean regarding some very dirty laundry, admitting its long-standing role in aiding and abetting the existence of the notorious Magdalene laundries.
Ostensibly asylums for the reform of "fallen" women, these facilities enabled the Catholic Church to turn a tidy profit by using women - petty criminals, unwed mothers or simply young women deemed overly flirtatious or beautiful, in a country that has long associated women with sex and sex with sin - as a slave labor pool. The last one wasn't closed until 1996. »Read Full Article(4)

As society has become more and more modern we have less of a need to go out and do things. Things like finding food has become so easy as ordering from your phone and someone bring it to you. This making someone be less active overall. The days where we had to go out and hunt for food are long over. Although it might not see like much you still gain a small amount of cardio exercise from simple tasks. Running however by far is the best way to improve you sexual performance and stamina. Not old that but as oxygen flows throughout your body you will also improve your mood and overall self.
There are always pills and supplements that you can take to band-aide an issue instead of really fixing the root issue. One example men really do bad in is fixing their sexual performance. Instead of working out and building up their stamina they turn to pills and other things that artificially put blood in the areas needed. If you have done this before you know what I mean. One example of this is a male enhancement product called VigRX Plus. Its so popular lots of guys who have tried it out put up their own reviews. Some review sites actually end up being pretty good resources like this site here. You can also find some very informative articles on their blog.
There is always simple things you can do to maintain a base level of activity in your life. Pills and drugs are not always the answer. See this video below with some very simple exercises.

alright, thanks for the information.
it's good to know the editor will still be available as we're used to (especially because i didn't recognize anything about a coop-mode yet).
however i really think this will be a reasonable alternative to A.C.E., which i remember from arma1 and there it just used to have too many rather unimportant features - PR instead tries to keep the realistic gameplay simple and userfriendly.
so I'm looking forward to watching the development of an awesome mod, good luck guys! :)

See his memoirs, Promises of Power (1983).
Stokes's theorem is a vast generalization of this theorem in the following sense.
So the fundamental theorem reads:
Let M be an oriented smooth manifold of dimension n and let be an n-form that is a compactly supported on M. The integral of over M is defined as follows: Let {fi} be a partition of unity associated with a locally finite cover {Ui} of (consistently oriented) coordinate neighborhoods, then the integral
is defined to be
where each term in the sum is evaluated by pulling back to Rn. This is well-defined.
Stokes' theorem reads: If is an (n − 1)-form with compact support on M and ∂M denotes the boundary of M with its induced orientation, then
Here d is the exterior derivative, which is defined using the manifold structure only.
The theorem is often used in situations where M is an embedded oriented submanifold of some bigger manifold on which the form is defined.
Let M be a smooth manifold. A (C∞-)singular k-simplex of M is a smooth map from the standard simplex in Rk to M. The free abelian group Sk generated by singular k-simplices is said to consist of singular k-chains of M. These groups, together with boundary map ∂, defines a chain complex. The corresponding homology (resp. cohomology) is called the (C∞-)singular homology (resp. cohomology) of M.
On the other hand, the differential forms, with exterior derivative d as the connecting map, form a cochain complex, which defines de Rham cohomology.
Differential k-forms can be integrated over a k-simplex in a natural way, by pulling back to Rk. Extending by linearity allows one to integrate over chains. This gives a linear map from the space of k-forms to the k-th group in the singular cochain Sk*, the linear functionals on Sk. In other words, a k-form defines a functional
on the k-chains. Stokes' theorem says that this is a chain map from de Rham cohomology to singular cohomology; the exterior derivative d behaves like the "dual" of ∂ on forms. This gives a homomorphism from de Rham cohomology to singular cohomology. On the level of forms, this means
de Rham's theorem shows that this homomorphism is in fact an isomorphism. So the converse to 1 and 2 above hold true. In other words, if {ci} are cycles generating the k-th homology group, then for any corresponding real numbers {ai}, there exist a closed form such that
and this form is unique up to exact forms.
The general form of the Stokes theorem using differential forms is more powerful and easier to use than the special cases. Because in Cartesian coordinates the traditional versions can be formulated without the machinery of differential geometry they are more accessible, older and have familiar names. The traditional forms are often considered more convenient by practicing scientists and engineers but the non-naturalness of the traditional formulation becomes apparent when using other coordinate systems, even familiar ones like spherical or cylindrical coordinates. There is potential for confusion in the way names are applied, and the use of dual formulations.
This is the (dualized) 1+1 dimensional case, for a 1-form (dualized because it is a statement about vector fields). This special case is often just referred to as the Stokes' theorem in many introductory university vector calculus courses. It is also sometimes known as the curl theorem.
The classical Kelvin-Stokes theorem:
which relates the surface integral of the curl of a vector field over a surface in Euclidean three-space to the line integral of the vector field over its boundary, is a special case of the general Stokes theorem (with n = 2) once we identify a vector field with a 1 form using the metric on Euclidean three-space. The curve of the line integral (∂Σ ) must have positive orientation, meaning that d r points counterclockwise when the surface normal (d Σ ) points toward the viewer, following the right-hand rule.
It can be rewritten for the student acquainted with forms as
where P, Q and R are the components of F.
These variants are frequently used:
|Differential form
|Integral form (using Kelvin-Stokes theorem plus relativistic invariance, )
|Maxwell-Faraday equation Faraday's law of induction:
|C and S stationary
| Ampère's law
(with Maxwell's extension):
|C and S stationary
is a special case if we identify a vector field with the n−1 form obtained by contracting the vector field with the Euclidean volume form.

Simple Beauty
There are a number of initiative tracking apps and they're all fine for what they are, but all of them seem to over complicate a process that needs to be easier, not more difficult. Initiative order needs to be established quickly and managed efficiently. This app makes that possible with a simple, on-the-fly interface. Data entry and manipulation doesn't require a lot of complicated and convoluted operations. Very simple, very clean.
The only real criticism I have is that it would be nice to be able to rename the rooms (if is possible I can't seem to find how). Maybe the next version (this is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars). I've also had it crash on me once, but only once after about an hour of use.
Great job, folks!
Good app!
I just downloaded this app, and I have to say it looks very promising for my game (I currently run a 4e game.) I think, as others have said, keeping it generic is a great idea.
One thing I would like to see is the ability for me to have a list of characters that are saved, so when I create a new room (a new encounter), I don't have to type in the name of each party member again - I can just load that list in, enter their initiative numbers, and go. See, I make one room for each encounter. That way, I can get the initiatives of all the monsters set up, so I just need to have the players roll theirs, and then I enter them, arrange them, and go. If I have 10 encounters in an adventure, I don't want to have enter the characters each and every time.
On the whole, the app is pretty intuitive and easy to use. I do find that it crashes often, normally after I have created a new room and go to create another one. It does not do this consistently, and I cannot find a pattern or something that triggers it.
Overall, a good app, and for the price, no complaints here!
Great App!
This app is a great tool for a role-playing Game Master. It tracks the Initiative number, the Name, the Description and the Hit Points. Characters and Monsters can easily be moved up and down in order of initiative and groups can be identified by color. The developer is very responsive to emails. I use this for GURPS every weekend for an Online game with people who live all over the United States.
The only thing preventing a fifth star would be the ability to Copy and Paste Characters and Monsters to allow encounters to be prepared in separate rooms ahead of time and then pasted into the main room. That would make it sweet. Let's go for five!!

Myst IV not working on a 6800 ?
Game options tell me this:
Compatible graphics card: Unknown / Untested.
I can enter the meny but when I launch a game all i see is a Grey screen with music in the background.
Did they not include 6800 support ?
Im using latest drivers from nvidia.com and no other games are having issues.
Re: Myst IV not working on a 6800 ?
Happend to me and very strange for a new game to be doing that. It was a couple weeks back but I remember there was a setting in options you had to disable so just uncheck a couple settings to see which one fixes it.
Re: Myst IV not working on a 6800 ?
it's the Depth Of Field option.

Re: Myst IV not working on a 6800 ?
Yeah... I used to not be able to play the demo... turned DoF off and it worked fine. Pretty fun game. I wish I could find the original (but I would prefer the "Real" myst one) for really cheap. I saw they have the first 3 on a special edition for 20 bucks... but those are the original ones with prerendered things? Real myst was all 3d if I remember right.

Exploring the Middle East In My Copious Free Time
I've been able to throw together a few low effort, pedestrian meals here and there... nothing fancy enough to warrant blog posting. Mostly I've been buying pre-prepared meals from Snap, eating out, ordering takeout, and cooking frozen dinners.
Things have settled down a little bit... as much as they ever do, I guess. Regardless, I'm making a focused effort to try to make more time for things that make me happy. Cooking, of course is one of those things.
So, I decided to spend my Sunday afternoon on a mini-vacation to the Middle East.
I really enjoy Middle Eastern flavors, and they pair nicely with the oppressive heat wave we've been having.
I recently acquired The New Book of Middle Eastern Food cookbook by Claudia Roden, also responsible for the wonderful Arabesque cookbook that I am a big fan of. I was craving a slow cooked stew with some good, seasonal summer ingredients.
Bamia Matbookha (Lamb and Okra Stew, Iraqi style)
Lamb. Okra. Heirloom Tomatoes. Onion. Corriander. Dried lime. Served with cilantro and goat-milk yogurt basmati rice.
Khiar bel Na'na (Cucumber Salad with Mint)
Salted cucumber. Mint. Orange blossom lemon vinaigrette.
I usually don't stick so closely to a cookbook, but I am trying to learn more about the flavors and techniques of Middle Eastern cuisine.
I opted to go for the Iraqi take on the stew presented in Roden's book which substitutes dried limes for lemon juice. I have never worked with dried limes before... I have to say that I am a HUGE fan. They are sun-dried, fermented limes... basically rock hard and you have to smash them with a hammer before adding to the dish. They add a very interesting and complex acidity. I cooked the stew in my tagine, at slow two hour simmer, adding the okra with 20 minutes left to keep it reasonably firm. I can't reiterate enough how awesome a tagine is when slow cooking stews... The temperature and moisture convection is magic.
The cucumber salad was fantastic as well. The recipe introduced me to a technique in which cucumbers are cut very thin on a mandoline then lightly salted and allowed to sit/drain for 1 hour in a colander before being assembled into a salad and dressed with mint and a simple but wonderful orange-blossom water and lemon vinaigrette.
The rice dish, I made up on the fly, basically blending some goat's milk yogurt with cilantro and lemon juice and tossing with some jasmine basmati rice along with salt and pepper.
I was quite pleased with how everything turned out. Simple, yet elegant. Wonderful flavors. Great summer ingredients.
For dessert, Jessica made some wonderful Medjool dates stuffed with honey almond butter and salted with fleur de sel. These were fantastic!

Dallas' Chris Kaman scored 16 points and Vince Carter added 15 points. Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki missed his third straight preseason game with a swollen right knee. The 11-time All-Star said Monday he will limit workouts to time in the pool and on the elliptical machine over the next few days. He wants to avoid surgery and hopes the reduced workload will bring down the swelling. The Suns made 12 of 16 shots in the third to take an 81-74 lead after the quarter. Dudley made a 3-pointer to tie the game at 61. Dragic, who signed with Phoenix in the offseason and will...

PIERCETON — Good news was mixed with some hesitation at Monday's meeting of Whitko Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees.
Superintedent Steve Clason gave board members an update on specific legislation that would have an affect on WCSC.
A bill proposing to fully fund all day kindergarten is currently on the table. Clason said this would be a bonus for the school system. Preschool funding is another positive bill on the state's desk.
One particular piece of legislation on Clason's radar is one pertaining to school vouchers.

"lambda" entries
Java 8 streams API and parallelism
Leveraging intermediate and terminal operators to process large collections.
In the last post in this series, we learned about functional interfaces and lambdas. In particular, we looked at the
ITrade functional interface, and filtered a collection of trades to generate a specific value. Prior to the feature updates made available in Java 8, running bulky operations on collections at the same time was ineffective and often cumbersome. They were restricted from performing efficient parallel processing due to the inherent explicit iteration that was being used. There was no easy way of splitting a collection to apply a piece of functionality on individual elements that then ran on multi-core machine architectures — that is, until the addition of Java 8's Streams API.
Using the command pattern with lambda expressions
Reduce boilerplate and make the intent of your code more obvious.
As Java developers we're all familiar with the concept of Design Patterns. These are codified template solutions to problems that we may encounter when developing. We're probably also familiar with being told by our functional programming brethren that design patterns are just "missing" language features. So the question now arises, with the introduction of lambda expressions in Java 8 and a more functional style of programming, how do design patterns change? In this article we'll be looking at the command pattern.
A command object is an object that encapsulates all the information required to call another method later. The command pattern is a way of using this object in order to write generic code that sequences and executes methods based on runtime decisions.
There are four classes that take part in the command pattern:
- Receiver – Performs the actual work
- Command – Encapsulates all the information required to call the receiver
- Invoker – Controls the sequencing and execution of one or more commands
- Client – Creates concrete command instances
Let's look at a concrete example of the command pattern and see how it improves with lambda expressions. Read more…
Unit Testing Java 8 Lambda Expressions and Streams
Two approaches to testing lambdafied code.
Over the past 18 months or so I've been talking to a lot of people about lambda expressions in Java 8. This isn't that unusual when you've written a book on Java 8 and also run a training course on the topic! One of the questions I often get asked by people is how do lambda expressions alter how they test code? It's an increasingly pertinent question in a world where more and more people have some kind of automated unit or regression test suite that runs over their project and when many people do Test Driven Development. Let's explore some of the problems you may encounter when testing code that uses lambdas and streams and how to solve them.
Usually, when writing a unit test you call a method in your test code that gets called in your application. Given some inputs and possibly test doubles, you call these methods to test a certain behavior happening and then specify the changes you expect to result from this behavior.
Lambda expressions pose a slightly different challenge when unit testing code. Because they don't have a name, it's impossible to directly call them in your test code. You could choose to copy the body of the lambda expression into your test and then test that copy, but this approach has the unfortunate side effect of not actually testing the behavior of your implementation. If you change the implementation code, your test will still pass even though the implementation is performing a different task.
Java 8 functional interfaces
Getting to know various out-of-the-box functions such as Consumer, Predicate, Supplier
In the first part of this series, we learned that lambdas are a type of functional interface – an interface with a single abstract method. The Java API has many one-method interfaces such as
ActionListener and others. They can be implemented and instantiated using anonymous class syntax. For example, take the
ITrade functional interface. It has only one abstract method that takes a
Trade object and returns a boolean value – perhaps checking the status of the trade or validating the order or some other condition.
public interface ITrade {
public boolean check(Trade t);
In order to satisfy our requirement of checking for new trades, we could create a lambda expression, using the above functional interface, as shown here:
ITrade newTradeChecker = (Trade t) -> t.getStatus().equals("NEW");
// Or we could omit the input type setting:
ITrade newTradeChecker = (t) -> t.getStatus().equals("NEW");

Restaurant review: If it's fried or barbecued, Mr. Manatee in Vero Beach has it
Everybody is relaxed even the waiters. Although they are bustling, they seem to be having a good time. Benches on the porch accommodate those who wait for tables; those who sit in the wood-slatted booths or at tables of all sizes from 2 to 10 or more are cheery. An enclosed porch overlooks a finger of the lagoon and boats perch on lifts right outside the windows.
On a recent evening we started with a buffalo chicken salad ($7.99). Mr. Manatee's boasts that their wings are award-winning and they are very tasty crunchy and tender at once. The salad is sizeable enough to be a main course and the blue cheese dressing is very good. The small Caesar ($2.99) is strictly a side dish but has plenty of flavorful rich dressing and lots of croutons. We tried a couple of combination dishes just to see how many different things we could taste.
The barbecue combo ($19.99) is a daunting heap of food. An entire half chicken with its gleaming glaze dominates the plate it shares with ribs, shrimp and pulled pork. It's not just big, though, it's also good. Falling off the bone, the chicken is smoky and not too sweet. The shrimp has an excellent flavor and isn't overcooked. The ribs are tender and tasty, but the pulled pork is really somethin' special. Shredded, seasoned and savory, this pork is perky.
Naturally French fries accompany it. Frying is a well-practiced technique at Mr. Manatee's and our basket of seafood demonstrates the skill. Popcorn shrimp, tiny yet tasty, clam strips and bay scallops make up the melange. We are delighted to see bay scallops on the menu; we love their sweet nuttiness and tender texture.
We boxed up the extra barbecue and shared a piece of key lime pie. It's made right here and tastes fresh and delicious with a delicate crust and light consistency. A good key lime like this one is the reason it remains a Southern dessert favorite. Our bill total came to a little more than $60.
Mr. Manatee's doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. It's a good ole grill.

->''"Well... here I... am."''
-->-- '''The Tooth Fairy'''
The first FilmOfTheBook of the Thomas Harris novel ''Literature/RedDragon'', this 1986 film features Hannibal Lektor (note the spelling) [[ThePeteBest as played by Brian Cox]]. Like in ''SilenceOfTheLambs'', he is used to help an FBI investigator. His name is Will Graham and he is trying to find a serial killer known as Francis Dollarhyde, nicknamed "The Tooth Fairy". As he tries to find the serial killer, Graham's personal demons start to haunt him, affecting his work and his relationships.
A box office flop on release, despite critical approval. It has become a CultClassic for many Hannibal fans. The lead investigator is played by William Petersen, feeling at times like an extended audition for his ''Series/{{CSI}}'' role.
The film relied on heavily-tinted scenes and overpowering music. The use of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"]] is very unsettling to anyone who has not seen its use in ''TheSimpsons'' ("Remember when we used to make out to this hymn?"), and the look of the film is very much TheEighties.
Later [[{{Remake}} re-made]] as ''Film/RedDragon'', this time featuring Anthony Hopkins as Lecter.
Not to be confused with {{Sierra}}'s [[VideoGame/{{Manhunter}} series of adventure games with the same name]], or the [[Comicbook/{{Manhunter}} comic]] of the same name. It should also not be confused with [[VideoGame/{{Manhunt}} the similarly titled horror/killer video game]] produced by Rockstar Games, even though both feature actor Brian Cox.
!!This movie contains examples of:
* ArtImitatesArt: After Graham fills Dollarhyde full of lead, Dollarhyde falls down on his back. A camera shot from above shows the blood pooling out from Dollarhyde in a symmetrical winged shape that looks just like the Red Dragon from William Blake's painting.
* BaldOfEvil: Francis Dollarhyde, the Tooth Fairy, is balding in this movie, mostly because his actor is.
* BerserkButton: Graham doesn't like it when people bring up his past experience with Lecktor, especially when the one bringing it up is the same tabloid reporter who took advantage of said experience to sell newspapers.
* BlindAndTheBeast: Dollaryhde starts dating a blind woman halfway through the movie. This is partly because of his implicit insecurities about his cleft palate (much more explicit in the novel and 2002 movie); he thinks he is ugly, and doesn't believe he'd stand a chance with someone who could actually see him. This, in fact, is one of the reasons he kills- [[ILoveTheDead dead women don't think he is ugly.]]
** Significantly, Dollarhyde stops Reba when she tries to touch his face.
* CentralTheme: The entire film is about vision and color. For example, notice the background colors of the opening credits, saturated and overexposed. Lektor's prison is completely white, which has a negative psychological effect on Will (who calms down when staring at the green grass.) Of course, Dolarhyde's ''job'' is color correction.
* ConsultingAConvictedKiller: Graham seeks help from Hannibal Lecktor in order to gain better insight in finding the Tooth Fairy.
* CursedWithAwesome: Graham's ability to get inside the heads of the killers he tracks makes him good at his job, but puts serious stress on his own sanity at the same time.
* DemotedToExtra: Frustrated with Graham's mental state, his wife decides to spend time away. [[spoiler: In the novel, she returns and it is she, not her husband or the cops, who kills Dolarhyde in the climax.]]
* DisabledLoveInterest: Reba, Dollarhyde's blind coworker, happens to mention that she always wished she could have "seen" a Bengal tiger (by touching it). Dolarhyde knows someone at a zoo where they happen to have a tiger having dental work under anesthesia. After Reba gets to touch this tiger all over, she goes home with him and engages in very vigorous woman-on-top sex with him.
* EurekaMoment: When Graham finally figures out how the Tooth Fairy chooses his victims.
--> '''Graham:''' And you know you need a bolt-cutter and every other Goddamn thing. Because everything with you is seeing, isn't it? Your primary sensory intake that makes your dream live is seeing. Reflections. Mirrors. Images. .... You've seen these films! Haven't you, my man?
* [[EvilisHammy Evil is Hammy]]: Largely averted with Brian Cox's cold and understated portrayal of Lecktor (in contrast to [[AnthonyHopkins Anthony Hopkins]] in [[SilenceoftheLambs Silence of the Lambs]]).
* FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed. During his EurekaMoment, Graham acknowledges that Dollarhyde must have been abused and states that he pities the child Dollarhyde used to be. However, in the same monologue, Graham states that he feels absolutely no sympathy for Dollarhyde as an adult and states that Dollarhyde is a selfish, utterly-disgusting human being who deserves to die violently.
* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: Lektor's justification of why he and any SerialKiller commits murder- it makes you feel like you are God.]] He tells Will to look forward to that feeling.
* HannibalLecture: The man himself gives one to Will over the phone, telling him that GodIsEvil and EvilIsCool, and that what bothered him about killing Garret Jacob Hobbes (the first SerialKiller Graham caught) was that [[EvilFeelsGood he secretly enjoyed it]].
** This particular HannibalLecture was repeated ''ad vertabim'' in ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' the series (it does not appear in the original novel), albeit in a very different context as in that case Graham had yet to realize that Lecter was a killer.
** In his first scene he gives Will a NotSoDifferent speech; since this is the first Hannibal film and is taken directly from the novel (unlike the aforemention "killing is good" speech), this film features the ''original'' HannibalLecture.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: TheMovie. It's Will's defining trait.
* {{Jerkass}}: Brian Cox's take on Lecktor, in contrast to Hopkins's later, AffablyEvil performance.
* {{Jerkass God|s}}: Lecktor insists this, along with AGodAmI.
-->'''Lecktor:''' Did you really feel depressed after you shot Mr. Garrett Jacob Hobbes to death? l think you probably did. But it wasn't the act that got to you. Didn't you feel so bad, because killing him felt so good? And why shouldn't it feel good? It must feel good to God. He does it all the time. God's terrific! He dropped a church roof on 34 of his worshipers in Texas last Wednesday night, just as they were groveling through a hymn to his majesty. Don't you think that felt good?
-->'''Will:''' Why does it feel good, Dr. Lecktor?
-->'''Lecktor:''' lt feels good because God has power. [[AGodAmI If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is.]] God's a champ. He always stays ahead. He got 140 Phillipinos in one plane crash last year. Remember that earthquake in Italy last spring?
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Graham's hair has some gray tinges, due to his experience with Lecktor.
* MadDoctor: Lecktor is a world-famous psychiatrist who happens to be a convicted SerialKiller. He might be stuck in an insane asylum, but that doesn't stop him from writing for psychiatric journals.
* ManInWhite: Lecktor's prison clothes are all white, as is his cell and seemingly the whole mental facility.
* ManipulativeBastard: Lektor, sure, but Crawford uses a BatmanGambit to get Will to take on the case, and freely admits it when Will confronts him with it. Lektor congratulates Will for setting Lounds up to be killed, and even though it wasn't Will's ''conscious'' intent, he wonders if he really plot Lounds' death subconsciously. [[invoked]]
* ManOnFire: The ultimate fate of [[spoiler: Freddy Lounds]]
* MistakenForCheating: Dollarhyde's fragile connection with sanity snaps when he misinterprets an innocent moment between Reba and her coworker as something intimate.
* ModestyBedsheet: Graham's wife keeps the bedsheet wrapped around herself as she walks over to Graham, staring out the hotel room's window.
* MurdererPOV: Used at the beginning when the Tooth Fairy enters the Leeds' house. Portions of the sequence are used again when Graham examines the crime scene for the first time; a visual representation of his ability to enter the minds of killers.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted somewhat; although, if women in this world ''didn't'' menstruate, and we found a box of Maxi-Pads from a world where they did, we'd probably be inclined to assume they're some kind of stick-on blindfold, too.
* NotSoDifferent: Lektor tells this to Graham. What's scary is that he seems to be right.
-->'''Lecktor:''' You want the scent? ''Smell yourself.''
* OneManArmy: When the cops finally close in on Dolarhyde, he rather casually grabs Graham as he jumps at him, slashes him across the face, tosses him into a corner, and then grabs a shotgun. Using the latter, he then goes to town on the cops trying to stop him, killing several and [[FeelsNoPain ignoring at least one point-blank gunshot wound]]. He returns to kill Graham, only to go down after [[{{BFG}} absorbing half-a-dozen explosive rounds]].
* {{Paparazzi}}: Freddy Lounds, who's so sleazy he even broke into Graham's hospital room to take pictures of his injuries after his encounter with Lektor. [[spoiler: Makes it hard to believe he didn't deserve the fate the Tooth Fairy gave him.]]
** Lektor in fact applauds Will for setting Freddy up like that. [[spoiler: Will ponders if he set Freddy up, if subconsciously, as Lektor implies.]]
* TheProfiler: Will Graham is the archetypal fictional profiler, the basis for a great deal such detectives who showed up in the media after this film came out, and the book based on it.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: Since the Tooth Fairy operates on a lunar cycle, the FBI has until the next full moon to catch him before he kills again. [[spoiler: They start out with two weeks, but end up taking it right down to the last minute before the killer claims another victim.]]
* SanitySlippage: In the BackStory, Will suffered one after catching Lecktor, because of his ToKnowHimIMustBecomeHim detective style, and was committed to an insane asylum.
* SerialKiller: Francis Dollarhyde, aka "The Tooth Fairy" or "The Red Dragon". Also, Dr. Lecktor.
* ShirtlessScene: Will Graham gets a few. Comes with living on a Florida beach.
* SoftGlass: Graham goes straight through a window at full gallop. He does get a couple of superficial cuts on his face.
* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Spell My Name With A K]]: Lec'''''k'''''tor?
* SympathyForTheDevil: Deconstructed in the uncut version.
-->'''Jack:''' You feel sorry for him.
-->'''Will:''' As a child, my heart bleeds for him. Someone took a little boy and turned him into a monster. But as an adult... as an adult, he's irredeemable. He butchers whole families to fulfill some sick fantasy. As an adult, I think someone should blow the sick fuck out of his socks.
* ToKnowHimIMustBecomeHim: Graham's method for profiling serial killers. Sometimes it works ''too'' well.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The soundtrack and fashions in the film permanently mark it as a product of TheEighties.

'Rosewater,' Jon Stewart's film about a jailed journalist, opens Friday
The New York Times | Slate | NPR | The Huffington Post | The Washington Post
Jon Stewart's first film as a director, "Rosewater," opens in theaters on Friday. The film is based journalist Maziar Bahari's book about his detention in Iran in 2009. Manhola Dargis wrote about the film on Thursday for The New York Times and includes this background.
This fictional movie tells the story of the real Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-born journalist living in London who was arrested in Iran while covering the 2009 elections for Newsweek. Accused of being an agent for foreign intelligence organizations, he was thrown into the Evin Prison, where he was interrogated and beaten, partly for the surreal reason that he had appeared on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart."
Here's the trailer:
Mike Pesca spoke with Bahari on Thursday for Slate's The Gist podcast about appearing on The Daily Show and his arrest in Iran. Read more

1986-12-12 James Bonecrusher Smith w rsc 1 (15) Tim Witherspoon, Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NYC, New York, USA - WBA
1986-12-12 James Bonecrusher Smith w rsc 1 (15) Tim Witherspoon, Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NYC, New York, USA - WBA. Referee: Luis Rivera. Challenging Witherspoon (233½) for the title, Smith (228½) made a great start when racing across the ring to have the champion in trouble with the very first punch of the fight, a crashing right to the head. Throwing 59 punches, of which 28 landed, Smith had Witherspoon on the floor three times in the opening round before the fight was automatically stopped after 2.12 of the session when the WBA's three knockdowns in a round ruling came into play. Witherspoon should have been counted upon when he touched down earlier but was allowed to continue.
Smith's next outing would be a WBA/WBC unification contest against Mike Tyson. With the WBA's scheduled distance for championship fights being 15 rounds an agreement was brokered to go along with the WBC's stipulated 12 while having their own three knockdown ruling in place. This deal remained in situ up until the WBA announced at their convention in October 1987 that all championship contests would be scheduled for 12 rounds forthwith.

WIPO sends criminal prosecution threats over publication of internal docs about its Director General's corruption
You may recall that the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has been haunted by scandal: first there was the matter of illegally funding computer purchases for North Korea and Iran, then a whistleblower came forward to claim that WIPO Director General Francis Gurry illegally harvested DNA samples from staffers to find out who had sent anonymous letters alleging his sexual misconduct.
But it gets worse.

Background: The type 1 interferons (INF-α and INF-β) are potent antiviral agents. Albumin-INF-α and albumin-INF-β are novel recombinant proteins consisting of IFN-α or IFN-β genetically fused to human albumin. Methods: The in vitro antiviral activity of albumin-IFN-α was evaluated against representative bioterrorism viral agents and the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus. Antiviral activity was assessed using inhibition of cytopathic effect and neutral red staining. Results: EC50 values for albumin-IFN-α ranged from <0.1 ng/ml for Punta Toro virus to 65 ng/ml for Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus in the neutral red assay. Albumin-IFN-β showed 75- and 360-fold greater in vitro activity than albumin-IFN-α against Ebola virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome, respectively. Conclusion: Further evaluation of these long-acting albumin-IFN fusion proteins as prophylactic or therapeutic agents against these viral agents of bioterrorism in relevant primate models is warranted.

Wild winter induces spring fever

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- It's hard to believe, but it's that time again. Finally.
No more A-Rod trade rumors. No more updates on how many helpings of turkey Curt Schilling served Theo Epstein on Thanksgiving. No more shoveling your way down the driveway to check the newspaper to see if Hiram Bocachica has signed yet.
Yeah, it's true. Another action-packed baseball offseason is finally in the rear-view mirror. (Even for Greg Maddux.) So peel off those parkas. Start clicking on your ...

This park is not on the Fort Knox military post, but it isn't far away. This was my second stay at this CG. The last was a few years ago. Wi-Fi still iffy depending on how far from the office and how many RVs are between you and there. You can sit in the rec building and use a laptop if you need strong Wi-Fi. Cell service is also sketchy. I had to go outside the RV to get one bar. Utilities were good. There is a mixture of concrete and gravel sites. Most are level. Not all of them will allow for satellite reception due to trees. The rec building is nice, is in the middle of the park, and contains laundry, satellite TV, and a book/movie sharing library. I think laundry was a buck per load. There is a stocked lake next to the park. The staff was friendly and helpful. Only the W/E sites are reservable. They offer a discount for Golden Age/Access card holders which I used. - RLM

We called late the day of our arrival and they had one site (#36) available with water and electric for $27. with Good Sam discount. Site was very long and our 65 feet rv & truck had room to spare. No dump at this site. Dump easy to get to... just more work when my age closer to 80 than 70. Creosoted logs at dump site added to effort. Site 36 ok for front located satellite dish. Didn't use any other facility. Roadways narrow but ok to maneuver, never understood why owners do not cut trees when so numerous.
Drive slowly after exiting I-65 because their sign is small. We would call earlier next time and ask for this same site. I would be sure my gray and black tanks were empty. Good overnight campground. - michcamper38

Authorities at the National Elections Commission (NEC) through their Communications Director, Mr. Joey Kennedy, say the NEC remains resolute to conduct the Special Senatorial Election as scheduled.
The NEC is the body responsible for the conduct of all electoral activities in the country.
The 2014 Special Election is scheduled for October 14, 2014. It is in keeping with the Liberian Constitution, which is regarded as the organic law of the country.
Already, the election is gaining momentum, with those senators who are seeking re-election and other Liberians who are desirous of contesting, making known their intentions, their dreams and aspirations to the Liberian people via the media.
According to Mr. Kennedy, there is no plan to postpone the election, emphasizing that the election date still remains as scheduled.
Mr. Kennedy was speaking Tuesday in an exclusive interview with the Heritage via mobile phone.
Asked whether the Commission has been approached over the postponement of the process, he answered in the negative.
"There is no decision to that effect yet. In fact, the Commission has not received any request regarding the postponement, and so as we stand, the election date still remains the same," added the Commission's Spokesman.
The interview was triggered by mounting concerns from the public, including politicians for the postponement of the election due to the Ebola epidemic, which has claimed several lives.
Those calling for the postponement of the election want money intended for the conduct of the election to be used to fight the disease.
They argue that it would not be prudent to conduct a major election, amidst the outbreak of a deadly disease such as Ebola.
The virus has killed at least 129 people here, and claimed more than 670 lives across the region.
A top Liberian doctor working at Liberia's largest hospital died on Saturday, and two American aid workers have fallen ill, underscoring the dangers facing those charged with bringing the outbreak under control.
Also last week, an official of the Ministry of Finance identified as Patrick Sawyer died of the disease at a Lagos hospital.
As a means of containing further spread of the disease, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf set up a taskforce to help in the fight of the disease and ordered the closure of the country's three land borders.
The Liberian leader also ordered that public gatherings be restricted and communities heavily affected by the Ebola outbreak be quarantined.
Meanwhile, the Commission on Monday of this week released a provisional listing of 141 aspirants for the ensuing election.
A provisional list of applicants published by the Commission shows that 18 political parties are fielding 115 contenders, while 25 of the aspirants are independent.
The 140 aspirants include: 12 sitting senior senators fighting to retain their seats.
