From the Publisher:
Instead of concentrating on surface similarities and notions like influence, it argues for an ongoing dialogue, a continuing relationship between cinema and painting that plays itself out in the norms of visual representation, in the historical changes of the 'eye.'The visual image is the common denominator of cinema and painting, and indeed many filmmakers have used the imagery of paintings to shape or enrich the meaning of their films. In this discerning new approach to cinema studies, Angela Dalle Vacche discusses how the use of pictorial sources in film enables eight filmmakers to comment on the interplay between the arts, on the dialectic of word and image, on the relationship between artistic creativity and sexual difference, and on the tension between tradition and modernity.|Specifically, Dalle Vacche explores Jean-Luc Godard's iconophobia (Pierrot Le Fou) and Andrei Tarkovsky's iconophilia (Andrei Rubleov), Kenji Mizoguchi's split allegiances between East and West (Five Women around Utamaro), Michelangelo Antonioni's melodramatic sensibility (Red Desert), Eric Rohmer's project to convey interiority through images (The Marquise of O), F. W. Murnau's debt to Romantic landscape painting (Nosferatu), Vincente Minnelli's affinities with American Abstract Expressionism (An American in Paris), and Alain Cavalier's use of still life and the close-up to explore the realms of mysticism and femininity (Thérèse).|While addressing issues of influence and intentionality, Dalle Vacche concludes that intertextuality is central to an appreciation of the dialogical nature of the filmic medium, which, in appropriating or rejecting art history, defines itself in relation to national traditions and broadly shared visual cultures.

ECU News Services
Former East Carolina University soccer star Hali Oughton was interviewed by the media many times during her college career. Now she's the one holding the microphone in her job as an on-air reporter for the American Athletic Conference.
Oughton, who graduated in May 2013 with a degree in communication, was back on campus Oct. 5 for the ECU-SMU football game to film segments for the American conference's weekly web video show, "The Rise." It was ECU's first official game as a new member of the conference. Her report for that game can be seen here.
"Being in front of the camera is a fun aspect of the job because I get to tell the stories of our conference and really engage with the fans," Oughton said.
Based at the American's headquarters in Providence, Rhode Island, Oughton travels frequently to film episodes of her show on the campuses of the 11 conference members.
"It's funny how things work out," she said. "Being a student-athlete at East Carolina makes this opportunity with the American really special to me. I get to work with my alma mater on a day-to-day basis as well as schools I have previously competed against on the soccer field when we were in Conference USA."
Oughton, a native of Redondo Beach, California, was a four-year starter on ECU's soccer team and a team captain. She was named a first-team All-Conference USA player her senior year.
A key member of the soccer team's defense throughout her college career, she was known for her stamina. She started 60 consecutive games and played every minute in 18 of the 20 matches her senior year.
She played in all 10 of the team's shutouts her senior year and scored three goals, two of which were game winners.
"My degree from ECU has definitely helped me get to where I am today," she said. "I built great relationships with many of my colleagues and professors. Interning at WNCT-TV under Brian Bailey gave me a great deal of experience in my last two years of college."
A new episode of "The Rise" airs each Tuesday at the American website.

Yeah I don't understand this guy. All he does is bitch and moan about every little thing in his perception that is not "right", and in nearly every case he is bitching about nothing, because it is the way it is. Nothing is god enough for him. I don't think I have seen a single post by him where he was not complaining about one thing or another. For somebody who knows as much as him, I can't see why he would be like that. I wonder if he works for ATI.
He came on here asking all these questions like a noob, "why does the 8800 AF look terrible", "why does fear perf. suck on the 8800". I helped him out at first until I realized what he was up to.

Ryan Howard's disappearing act
Nov 1, 2009, 11:48 AM EDT
Much has been made of Alex
Rodriguez's World Series struggles, but after his two-run blast on
Saturday night, the focus has now shifted to Ryan Howard, who is just
2-for-13 with nine strikeouts over the first three games of the series.
Howard struck out in six straight
at-bats between Game 2 and Game 3. He has yet to draw a walk during the
series. The Philadelphia slugger is just three strikeouts away from
Willie Wilson, who set a World Series record in 1980 by striking out 12
"I mean, hey, that's baseball," Howard said. "You have it one day, it
may not be there the next day. The only thing you can do is show up
again the next day."
It might not be Howard as much as an overt strategy by New York. Nine of Howard's 13 plate
appearances have been against southpaws, of which he is batting .222
(two doubles vs. CC Sabathia in Game 1). The Yankees have given him a
steady diet of curve balls and sliders low-and-away. With five
strikeouts in nine at-bats against left-handers, Howard is chasing the breaking pitches with regularity. The
Yankees seem to be well aware of Howard's feeble .653 OPS against
left-handers during the regular season and are taking advantage of it.
- Khyber Jones - Nov 1, 2009 at 1:16 PM
In 3 games, Yankee pitchers have proven to themselves that they can pitch to the Philly hitters. It's hard to keep all of the bats quiet, as demonstrated by Jayson Werth's explosive bat in Game 3, but you can get big outs against them and you can find dead spots in their lineup.
The Yankees beat the Phillies in a shoot out and that has to strike at Philly's confidence, because their intimidating offense is what drives them as a team.
Through 3 games, the Yankees have been the better team and they are gaining confidence. That doesn't bode well for Philly. The Phillies have to find a way to win Game 4 in order to save the series, but the pitching matchup does not favor them. We'll see if the Yankees have a killer instinct and whether the Phillies can raise their level of play to match a team that is better than them.
- Shely - Nov 1, 2009 at 2:41 PM
You got this one right. I personally don't think they can do it now. Yankees in 6 at the most.
- Bree - Nov 1, 2009 at 4:36 PM
To Shely & Khyber;
Astute observations from Khyber; if Blanton gets in trouble early in the game, who will be the first person Manuel will use in the Phillies bullpen? I was brimming with hope last night in the first 3 innings with a 3-0 lead and Hamels appearing to pitch well.
Will Howard's bat awaken? Could Lee have pitched on 3 days' rest?
I need better baseball minds than mine to figure this all out. I've been a Phillies fan all my life (Indians in the American League) so I have a genetic predisposition toward despising the Yankees. Tonight is do or die for the Phillies!!

It depends upon whom you ask.
If you are fortunate enough to be working and earning a paycheck, then perhaps you might be inclined to believe we are slowly emerging from this recession. But if you've either lost your job or find it hard to secure another to make ends meet in this sluggish economy, then maybe you feel we are experiencing a modern-day depression.
Just as in the familiar expression, the glass is either half full or half empty; it is all predicated on individual perception.
However, the numbers don't lie. Current, U.S. Census data shows a record number of Americans, nearly one in two, have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income.
According to NJ.com, many middle-class Americans are dropping below the low-income threshold, earning an estimated $45,000 a year for a family of four, mainly due to pay cuts, a forced reduction of work hours or a spouse losing a job.
Economists say monthly mortgage payments, health care and child-care costs consume up to half of a family's income, deteriorating what was once known as the "middle class".
Public policy experts say government safety net programs such as food stamps and tax credits kept poverty from rising even higher in 2010, but for many low-income families with work-related and medical expenses, they are often considered too 'rich' to qualify.
Sheldon Danziger, a University of Michigan public policy professor who specializes in poverty told the Associated Press, "The reality is that prospects for the poor and the near poor are dismal," and adds, "If Congress and the states make further cuts, we can expect the number of poor and low-income families to rise for the next several years."
This, as paychecks for many continue to take a hit. According to statistics, the inflation-adjusted average earnings for the bottom 20 percent of families have fallen from $16,788 in 1979 to just under $15,000, and earnings for the next 20 percent have remained flat at $37,000.
And as the old adage affirms, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, in stark contrast, higher-income brackets reported significant wage growth since 1979, with earnings for the top 5 percent of families climbing 64 percent to more than $313,000.
Based on a new supplemental measure by the Census Bureau designed to provide a fuller picture of poverty, about 97.3 million Americans fall into a low-income category, commonly defined as those earning between 100 percent and 199 percent of the poverty level.
The latest data shows that together with the 49.1 million who fall below the poverty line and are counted as poor, number 146.4 million, or 48 percent of the U.S. population. That's up by 4 million from 2009, the earliest numbers for the newly developed poverty measure.

My F800gs STALLS LIKE ITS RUNNING OUT OF GAS! PLEASE HELP!!

Heavy Rain - My GS stalled !
Oh my god - my worse fears are about to be realized. The "go anywhere" and "do anything" combat touring motorcycle didn't make it back form the first storm of the season. BMW's F800 GS does not run in the rain.
OK - if you want to be ready for rain you should go out and practice before you're a thousand miles form home. So the clouds rolled in and I went for a spin. The rain was very hard and it came down in buckets. I was traveling along in traffic when the tach goes to ZERO and I'm rolling down the road at 40 mph. I gently slipped the clutch and the compression almost cause a high speed skid so I rolled to the side of the road to get out of the way of all the cars and trucks.
At first the engine would NOT restart and I sat in the rain for a long while - in a complete state of shock and dismay. It eventually restarted but ran very rough all the way back.
I ran my Honda 750 in the rain - the 919 was never bothered and the VFR ate up miles of interstate in thunderstorm after thunderstorm on my last tour - high speed touring with torrential wind driven RAIN for hour after hour. My rain gear worked and so did my motorcycle!
Today I was stuck on the side of the road five minutes from home - some %$#*ing adventure type guy am I. FIRST TIME EVER. The most expensive bike I ever bought and it won't run in the rain. Ten minutes into a storm and the party is over!
Anyone want to comment?
the new guy is pissed.

Thank you all.
I made an offer of Euro 35 earlier today, but he said he couldn't go lower than Euro 99 for it being an early model 2A.
I wonder what he'll say tomorrow. I mailed him the websites showing it to be a model 4A.
To be continued ...
Good luck!
