Jan 11, 2012The Plucker
At Camp Chef we have entered into our show season. Four of us will not see home in any stretch of relaxation until sometime in Mid March. It is a nature of our beast. You may think, "wow, I wish I could travel and see all those outdoorsy things". And it is a great time to see our dealers, reps and show friends. But there is rarely any play involved in the show adventure.
Jan 5, 2012Jerky!!
One of the most asked questions about our Smoke Vaults is how to make jerky. I have found that it's pretty easy and think that by the time you read this you will agree.I have to admit that I was a little nervous the first time I gave it a try, so I did what any reasonable person would and called someone that would know what to do. The fine folks at Hi Mtn Seasonings know their way around jerk
Jan 3, 2012Smoked Cooked Duck
I've only seen a couple ducks for sale at the grocers'. I'm not even sure if the store was local or even in the west. I have always come by ducks the all natural way. That is we hunt them, then we shoot them. I'm not a duck biologist and only about par as a duck hunter; but I know enough about ducks and their history, to rank them as one of the great conservation efforts by Sportsmen an

Forum members,i'm looking for a adjustable declination compass for a navigation class I have this weekend. I will also be taking this compass with me on the PCT and want to make sure that I pick the right one. I was trying to decide between these two:Suunto M3-Leader: http://www.rei.com/product/408150/suunto-m-3d-leader-compassSuunto MC-2 Pro Compass: http://www.rei.com/product/787189/suunto-mc-2-pro-compasshow important is it to have a mirror for accurate sighting?Thanks in advance!
I would check with the instructor for the class. The mirror makes it easier and (usually) more accurate to take a sighting and triangulate your position. IMHO, either one will serve you well for many years. I like having the mirror for secondary use as an emergency signal, grooming, etc.Do you know why compasses have a mirror? So you can see who is lost!
"how important is it to have a mirror for accurate sighting?"For the PCT (aka Interstate 2000), I'd say it's unnecessary weight and bulk. In fact, even for most off-trail hiking, it's not really necessary. Most of us are usually looking for things like lakes a quarter mile wide, so the additional accuracy of a mirror is of dubious value. It's a bit different if you're doing lots of resections or looking for geocaches, I suppose. My $0.02
My experience and corroborated by what I read you can navigate just as accurately using a baseplate at chest level as you can with a mirror at eye level. A mirror adds: a mirror, some level of protection when closed, about $10-$20, signaling device, about 1 ounce. The MC-2PRO adds a clinometer. The Brunton O.S.S. 10, 20, 30 models have no-tool declination adjustments, are cheaper, and lighter. I use a Brunton Classic, removed the mirror cover and love the big dial. Works great

FWIW I'm going through the SAR academy right now and about 2/3 of the class is using the MC-2; there are a couple Bruntons and no U.S. made Silvas. Mirror isn't necessary but I can shoot an azimuth with it with more precision. The markers for our most recent land nav courses were a few inches below the surface of the ground so that level of precision was a must. With my failing eyes, I've come to love the magnifying glass on it. The baseplate is a nice size for plotting grid coordinates. The MC-3 would be my next choice if I were to buy one without a mirror. The only issue I've run across with it is that the clinometer on my MC-2 was sticking. I was the only person in my class with that problem so I returned it to REI and my new one is perfect. Overall a well loved compass but like anything else in life there will be an occasional dud. Check the needle swing of the compass and clinometer to make sure they swing freely and save yourself a trip back to the store. I rarely ever use a compass when trail hiking (always bring one though) except to occasionally orient my topo map. 99% of my trail navigation is with terrain association. You can buy a cheaper/lighter compass later for the PCT. I'll always bring my MC 2 or one with a magnifying glass as it is my back up if I break my reading glasses. Have fun.
Compasses in general are not heavy. I really went for broke on bulk and weight and got a Suunto MC-2G. At 2.6oz and the size of an iPod, I don't think it is heavy or bulky, especially considering that I bet my life on it working when I need it! FYI, point and shoot camera cases are great for a compass case. A freebie eyeglass case works for a baseplate compass.
Generally speaking, the compass will weigh less than the map, of which it is nearly useless without.
Just got a US made Silva base plate Explorer Pro. It's 1 oz, but quality isn't at the level of Suunto, something I knew going in. It works so far and weighs .6 oz less though.
Since we're on the topic, I was hoping someone could shed some light on what the difference is between the MC-2G and MC-2D. I understand that the MC-2G is "global" so the needle will work in the southern hemisphere but I'm reading conflicting reports at to what the "D" indicates. One page refers to it as Dual Zone and then explains how it will work in the southern hemisphere as well. There's obviously a distinction between the two but I'm not googling my way to an answer. I snooped around on Suunto's website as well but I didn't find the answer (I'm known for overlooking the obvious on occasion.)A classmate has a MC-2D and the baseplate shows different markings so maybe it's ideal for some other mapping system beyond UMS, UTM, MGRS? I just bought the plain ol' MC-2 as that is all they had in our local REI when I was shopping.Edit I should've checked BPL first!http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=26547
Edited by IDBLOOM on 03/19/2013 22:08:20 MDT.
Martin,of those two, I'd suggest the sighting compass. It's easier to shoot a good line for a bearing, heading or triangulation and it's multiuse: it's your mirror.By the way, sighting compasses can be light and small for the ultralighter. The Brunton Trooper is 23 grams.
I had both, and kept the MC-2 and gave my dad the M3. Mainly I just like being able to see myself. Especially before hitch hiking to make sure I don't have a streak of soot on my face. I haven't found any great benefit for taking readings with the mirror, except it becomes moderately more useful in the desert when getting misdirected by mule trails and washes... but I don't think it would be a huge handicap not to have. Maybe if I needed to use a compass more it would be really worth it... but right now, it is just a way to bring a mirror and not have my friends make fun of me.Sometimes I miss having a more slender compass that I could palm out of my pocket and read in an instant. With the MC-2 it takes a little more effort to bother, and most the time I don't.
Edited by Beeen on 03/20/2013 12:16:06 MDT.
Another benefit of the MC2's mirror is that when opened flat it provides a nice longer straightedge for map work, though this is likely not needed if you're sticking to trails and not doing more advanced landnav.You can also open up the mirror flat and still use the center hold aiming method, you don't have to always sight with the mirror. Do the center hold for a quick easy azimuth check or sight with the mirror for more precision. Versatile.Even if you stay in North America the Suunto global needle is worth having IMO. It is highly visible, fast dampening, and tolerates a less-than-perfect hold nicely.
For the course (props to you for taking a course!), get what most everyone else is using. A mirrored, sighting compass is classic, versatile, and with care, any quality compass lasts forever, so I'm teaching my kids on the compasses I myself learned on, 40 years ago.BUT, for UL BPing on the PCT, I'd bring on a little button compass, something on a zipper-pull, or nothing at all. 90% of the time, I can tell north to 10-15 degrees from the sun, stars, and terrain, and in the remaining cloudy times, there's this well-traveled north-south trail to go by.For BPing with a little off trail, I'd go for the smallest, lightest mirrored compass in part because the mirror is useful for some self-assessment and first aid at times. Something like: http://www.thecompassstore.com/guideorange.htmlFor geocaching, cave surveying, relocating a fishing hole or butchered carcass, etc; I go with the most accurate small compass I've found, the $160, 108 gram Suunto KB-14 optical sighting compass:http://www.thecompassstore.com/51kb14360r.html?productid=51kb14360r&channelid=FROOG&gclid=CP2058qfjLYCFSHZQgodoVgAmwNot cheap, but I can read it, quickly and accurately, to 1/2 degree. The Suunto style is more accurate, lighter and a quarter the price of the $600 Brunton Pocket Transit that EVERY geologist I've ever worked with got for their summer field camp and now proudly owns the worlds most expensive shaving mirror.Or in plastic by Suunto at $80, 39 grams.Or a Harbin knock of the aluminum Suunto at $64.I've never tried the optical Deruite at $38.50. I might get one to play with since I'm planning some scouting skills lessons with the kids (plus friends' kids) this summer.
Good one on the button compass for PCT and other trail work. I have a button compass mounted on the sternum strap of my pack, and if I'm hiking trails it's all I really need.On the other hand, I "grew up" hiking following topos with a mirrored compass. If I have any doubt about the route I'm taking, I have a mirrored compass handy because I know I can use and trust it.
Dale,Thanks for the laugh. I liked it enough to repost it in Chaff.
The first one is perfectly adequate for all navigation, imho.I do not carry anything more complex.Mirrors - only for secondary functions, like shaving or signalling.Cheers
"BUT, for UL BPing on the PCT, I'd bring on a little button compass, something on a zipper-pull, or nothing at all."No, no, no, NO, NO, NO. NO!!!!! NO!!!!I think this is very bad advice. Everyone should have a decent baseplate compass and a map and know how to use them. Period. Button compasses are fine for backup or just general orientation while on the trail. BUT, when you get lost, you need the right tools. In fact of you use the tools right, you won't get lost in the first place.
CYOC (carry your own compass). Or not.While I enjoy using quality gear, just because I love using a K&E Decilon or more so a 4080-5 20in Log Log Duplex Trig or a real (RPN) HP calculator, doesn't mean I can't figure things out to 3 or 4 sig figs in my head.I found I have less use for first aid gear the more I studied first aid and thought of safety, environmental exposures, and infectious issues. Because the more I considered them, the fewer problems I had and the sooner I was treating companions before things got quite so dire.Likewise, if I keep assessing which way is north, testing my estimate of the time-of-day BEFORE looking at my watch, and try to predict when I reach each trail junction, I never get so disoriented that I'm having to triangulate my position only knowing I'm (hopefully) somewhere on the quad.I'm glad the OP is taking a class on map & compass. That, and a lot of use in the field on real trips, is a path to both (1) being very competent when you really need to use it and (2) avoiding most all the situations where you really need to use it.
I'm not willing to make the shift away from carrying a quality compass (or carrying a knife) but to be quite honest I rarely use it backpacking/trail hiking. I've never used a button compass so I can't speak to their reliability. I do 99% of my navigation with just the topo map and only bust out the compass if I've really turned myself around. The more you learn to use catching features and handrails in the field and translate what you see on the map to what you see on the ground, the less often you'll need to orient your map with a compass. For SAR, military, and surveying applications then a precision instrument is a must but I'd be ok with something which will generally tell me which way north is in pea soup fog. As David mentioned, the higher your skill set the less you need. BLUF I think the MC2 is a fine compass for the money and I don't mind carrying it even if it's overkill. My only regret is that I didn't order the Global version.

I've had a Silva Ranger for decades. The mirror is great for precision and for seeing what foreign object is in your eye (not to mention checking to see if your eyeliner is on OK ;o)The inclinometer is a must when travelling in avy country in winter.

Felician Alum Inks Pro Baseball Contract
Former Felician College baseball player Jimmy Simpson has signed a professional contract for 2013 with the Fort Worth (Texas) Cats of the independent United Baseball League.
Simpson, a 23-year-old Florida native, was a four-year starter for Felician from 2009 to 2012. He played regularly at four positions over the course of his career – second base, third base, shortstop, and left field. Simpson was an all-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference honoree in both his junior and senior seasons, including as a utility man in 2011. A .262 career hitter, he is 13th in Golden Falcon history with 127 career base hits, and is also among the program's all-time leaders in sacrifices and toughest-to-strike-out rate.
"It is every baseball player's dream growing up to play professionally," Simpson said. "Getting this opportunity is amazing. It's a great feeling to get paid to play the game. I'm a little nervous, but it's still the same game – you have to throw the ball, catch the ball and hit the ball."
Simpson was signed directly out of an open tryout in December. He reports to Fort Worth on May 11, and the Cats' regular season begins on May 23.
Simpson is the 11th former Felician player to sign a professional contract, including the sixth position player. Click here to view the complete list.
"Jimmy's versatility makes any manager's job easier," said 10th-year Felician head coach Chris Langan. "He possesses above-average defensive ability at several positions, and makes consistent contact at the plate. Over the last two years he has made marked improvements to his speed and strength. We are proud of Jimmy and his accomplishments and wish him well for a solid season."

Michael Fassbender Wants You To Stop Talking About His Penis
Following Jon Hamm's big lead, the well-endowed Michael Fassbender has begged the Internet to leave his penis alone. Yes, we've all spent hours in a Google Image search checking out stills of his infamous and plentiful nude scenes, but we must erase it from our memory banks and focus on Michael's other talents. Because the world would never sexualize a female actress in the same way, or something.
Michael tells Elle UK:
"It wouldn't be acceptable it would be seen as sexual harassment, people saying [to an actress], Your vagina … You know? … I'm insecure, of course I am. But that was just a matter of me going, OK and just getting naked … I've never really thought of myself as good looking. I think of myself as, you know, alright … I used to have bad acne as a teenager, so all of this is a bonus now, the fact that I don't have pimples any more…And my hair was also, you know, unfortunate. I had really long hair. I mean, I tied it back most of the time, but I had all these frizzy bits coming off the top."
What do you think of Michael's request?
My name is Mrs. Maria Smith,From USA ,and I'm happily married with a lovely husband and three children.I had a very big problem with my husband few months ago,to the extent that he even packed his things away from our house. He left I and and my kids for almost 5 months,and i tried all my possible best and effort to bring him back.I discussed it with a very good friend of mine,and he gave me an advice concerning a spell caster, that he is the only one that can handle my situations and problem,that he's always ready and able to do anything related to spell casting and helping of the needy, Pls every every one i would like you all to contact him with his email address,which is as follows. firstname.lastname@example.com. I never believed in spell casting,but My friend convinced me and i had no choice than to follow my friend advice,because i neverdreamed of loosing my lovely Husband. And i contacted him with his email address,and i discussed with him all my problems and worries and so surprisingly,he told me that I'll get my husband back a day after. I didn't believed Him, until when i got home,the next day,my husband called me to inform me that he is coming back home…..So Amazing!! That's how i got my back through spell casting and our relationship was stronger than ever. One of the price i was asked to pay was to tell it to the people around me that problems like this,can always be solved by Okpoko. So! my advice to you out there is to visit this same E-mail address,and tell him your problems too,if you are in any condition related to love issue or getting your ex back or and problem at all, pls Contact him and have a happy life. you can contact him via email
Sorry, Michael, as they say: the genie is already out of the bottle. In this case your pants...
This is sorta like asking me not to think about elephants. *searches for pictures of elephants*
Michael, besides of being an amazing actor, you are the GOD of Cinematic Sex, so please, shut up!! And when he says "I've never really thought of myself as good looking" WTF man!! you're freaking GORGEOUS! A FUCKING SEXY DADDY!! a BONER RISER!! he's psycho smile makes us melt!! He has a perfect ripped body proportions! Also.. the people who talks about his penis is the people who loves him! therefore, SHUT UP MICHAEL!
I want Americans to Know that there are Loads of Sexy Men out there who aren't circumcised. The USA has the highest Circ rates in the world. Being a German Michael's Penis is Natural-Unaltered
Damn I can totally admit that I have looked for photos of his penis on multiple occasions. I love watching the animated GIF from SHAME. I think hes a total Stud
Please share said link of GIF file. Why am I just now learning about this full frontal scene?
If you HATE it so much...keep your clothes on and wear briefs out in public......(MUCH to my dismay)
Just in case anyone is wondering, his penis became famous in his 2011 movie "Shame" where he plays a sex addict.
I like to talk about his penis and his Butt!!! :-)
He is so Cute!!
I like to talk about his penis and his Butt!!! :-)
He is so Cute!!
Such a rough problem to face. :/
Lol! You're hot Michael! Deal with it!

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The U.S. government shutdown has taken $24 billion out of the economy, according to estimates by Standard & Poor's on Wednesday.
The ratings agency reported that the loss is a result of an estimated0.6 percent off of GDP in the fourth-quarter after the two week shutdown.
"However, the closer we get to breaching the debt ceiling, the higher we expect the economic impact to be," S&P said in a release.
The agency says that they believe the Senate deal will pass and the debt ceiling will be raised, however, the impact of a default "would be devastating for markets and the economy and worse than the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008."
If the U.S. does default, S&P says government spending could be cut by an estimated four percent of annualized GDP.
"That would put the economy in a recession and wipe out much of the economic progress made by the recovery from the Great Recession."

The world knew him by many names – the Cephaloprophet, the underwater nostradamus and the molluscan marvel. But to those of us who knew him personally, Paul's life is one of those fairy tales that Disney refuses to make because there aren't any songs in them. Before he achieved mind numbing fame, Paul was just another octopus. He was unhappy and unemployed. After refusing to act in 13 Japanese videos,he was looking for alternate ways of employment. He had even registered for ORGY – The Octopus Rozgaar Guarantee Yojana – but nothing much came out of it.

All cool, except the solaris sparc version is still VERY unstable on my Unix station. Moz doesn't play well with proxies ):
* MathML is now enabled by default on those platforms that support it, including Windows and Unix. MathML is the W3C specification for describing mathematics on the web. To properly display MathML you need to install special math fonts that are not installed by default on most systems. If you are reading this with Mozilla 0.9.9, take a look at this MathML sample which should look fine without these fonts.
* Mozilla now supports TrueType fonts on Unix using the FreeType2 library. This works on all X servers with a TrueColor visual (ie: a 15/16/24/32 bit frame buffer). This is enabled on Linux i386, Solaris, HP-UX and some other Unixes. Read these directions on setting up TrueType support in Mozilla.
* Greatly improved View-> Page Info dialog.
* Mozilla now supports SOAP.
* You now have the option of installing plugins in your Mozilla user directory ($HOME/.mozilla/plugins on Unix). These plugins are loaded in addition to those in your Mozilla install directory.
* Mozilla has a new Page Setup dialog and the Print Preview window now has a toolbar.
* Mozilla on Microsoft Windows now has a full screen mode.
* Speed improvements for the Sparc Solaris build.
* The BeOS port now supports SSL and has gfx speed improvements.
user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay" , 1000);
* Mozilla's zlib library contins the fix for the zlib vulnerability. Note that some builds such as the Red Hat RPMs use the sytem zlib library and you will need to update this library separately. See the Red Hat Linux Errata Advisory.
* The recycled mail compose window was turned on by default which greatly improves new message and reply performance.
* A new mail notification appears in the Windows System tray.
* Mozilla now supports the use of socks proxies for mailnews. The value entered in prefs-> advanced-> proxies-> socks host will be used for this. You must ensure that this field is left blank unless you require a socks proxy. If that field contains an entry that is not actually a socks proxy, then you will receive an error about connection being refused to your mail server. If you use a socks proxy and want to read mail from a site that the socks proxy does not have access to (such as localhost), you need to manually exclude those site(s) from being proxied by adding it to the "no proxy for" pref.
* LDAP directories appear in the address book.
* The address book now has an advanced search dialog.
* IMAP Shared Folders is finished with the exception of being able to click on an imap url to subscribe to one.
* The delete key now toggles the deleted state for the IMAP delete model.
* Improvements to the MailNews UI when reading signed and encrypted S/Mime messages.
All cool, except the solaris sparc version is still VERY unstable on my Unix station. Moz doesn't play well with proxies ):

This new version is sweet! The tabbing is so much better, it's almost exactly the way I want it

Ctrl-Thow does the tabbing work? do I hit Alt+1 or Ctrl+F1 and the like to get to the other tabs in the window? I could never figure that out...
But is it faster?
I noticed a considerable increase in speed. Don't get your hopes up too high though, this could be due to:
* Compilation with a higher level of optimisation, or
* Compilation with less stuff built into it.
It may not actually have anything to do with the code itself being faster -- static builds might be just as slow as the last version.

Maggette's Future
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 04/04/08, 01:05pm:
Jonathan Abrams takes a look at Corey Maggette's future in today's Los Angeles Times. It's no surprise that the lede states, "…the signs are that he will opt out of the final season of his six-year, $42-million contract after this season, to test the free agent market." The general gist:
Maggette is expected to be an attractive player if he becomes a free agent this summer. The Clippers can offer him a larger contract than any other team and tack on an additional year. The Miami Heat -- who may also target Elton Brand, if he opts out of his contract -- and the Memphis Grizzlies are among the few teams expected to have enough salary cap space to make a decent bid.
"The [salary] range is already set for him, and no matter what happens to him, that range is going to be pretty good," Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy said. "The only thing he has to worry about, really, is injury."
Abrams collected some good quotes:
The 6-foot-6 Maggette has averaged 20-plus points a game in three seasons, but he's never been an All-Star and various coaches and players say privately that he is not a "max" salary player. One Western Conference coach said of Maggette: "His defense is below average, and he is a 'crash' player on offense -- he just throws his body at the basket and tries to draw a foul."
… A Western Conference scout cited Maggette's quick first step and athleticism as his major strengths, but that teams can play off him because his jump shot isn't steady. "He sees the game through his concerns first," the scout said. "It's fairly common among NBA players, but dangerous if taken too far with your leaders of the team. He's been better this year than in past seasons and this says a lot, since they needed him more with Brand out."
The piece points out that, as is true most offseasons, few teams will have the cap room to back up the money truck in free agency. Miami and Memphis will have the most cash to spend.
Given Al Thornton's development and the max extension the Clips will have to offer Brand, it seems improbable that the Clippers would offer Maggette market value. On the other hand, Donald Tokowitz's preference for Maggette is widely known.
Whether you like Maggette or not, there are a few external factors that need to be considered. The most important one is that, under the NBA salary cap, every team needs to have a couple of productive contributors playing at below market value. So here's the question the Clippers have to answer:
Given Kaman's contract, a pending max offer to Brand, Mobley with two years/$18.9M remaining, etc., which do you prefer at the starting small forward?
A. Corey Maggette at 4-6 years/$35M-????
B. Al Thornton at 3 years/$6.5M total
In the context of the NBA's financial realities, there's a correct answer to this question, irrespective of how you feel about Corey Maggette.

As part of this year's One Book. 1 Golden program, author Kent Haruf will read from Benediction, answer questions from the audience and conduct a book signing. Books by Haurf will be available to purchase at the event from Boulder Bookstore.
Free tickets are required.
7-9 p.m., Wednesday Oct. 2
Foss Auditorium at the American Mountaineering Center
This year's annual One Book 1 Golden features Benediction, a powerful novel by Kent Haruf. Haruf is known for writing books that bring small-town Colorado to life and this book is a fitting selection for the close-knit community of Golden.
One of the more powerful chapters in the book deals with Reverend Lyle's controversial message based on the Sermon on the Mount. Is violence ever warranted as revenge? Is there such a thing as a "just" war? This sermon ultimately leads to the reverend's dismissal.
This chapter sparked one of the programs I'm most looking forward to - a panel discussion with leaders from the local faith community on "turning the other cheek" and its relevance in today's world.
Sept. 24, 6 p.m., Golden Community Center
1470 10th Street

It's another crazy week of Blu-ray releases, with one of the most significant boxed sets of the year hitting at the same time as three new Criterion discs, a couple of quality horror films and a bunch of anime. There are a lot of good deals to be had on these titles this week, so if you strike while the iron's hot, you just might be able to save a few bucks on these discs!
As always, clicking the Blu-ray package art will zip you over to Amazon where every purchase you make through our links helps the site stay on its feet. We appreciate every single click and thank you again for continuing to read The Blu-ray Blog.
"The Quest Is Over: All three extended versions in dazzling 1080p and DTS HD-MA 5.1 Audio. Deluxe set includes over 26 Hours of spellbinding behind-the- moviemaking material, including the Rare Costa Botes documentaries, on 15 discs.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition: With the help of a courageous fellowship of friends and allies, Frodo embarks on a perilous mission to destroy the legendary One Ring.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition: In the middle chapter of this historic movie trilogy, the Fellowship is broken but its quest to destroy the One Ring continues.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Extended Edition: The final battle for Middle-earth begins. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring.
Here it is, the big day… come yet again! It was a few months past a year ago that we were all snapping up the Lord of the Rings Blu-ray boxed set that included the theatrical cuts of the trilogy. You might recall that there was a lot of dissatisfaction with that release, specifically in regards to the very soft transfer of The Fellowship of the Ring. Much was made about the fact that the production team went back and supervised new transfers for the extended versions of the three films and that those updated, more detailed presentations would be the ones that would appear on the Blu-ray discs. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when review copies of the massive, 15-disc boxed set began showing up in the hands of the press and wouldn't you know it, but controversy regarding the transfer of Fellowship erupted once again.
This time around, there's no debating the quality of the high-def presentation. All who watched the discs were in agreement – they're simply stunning. Fantastic work. The concern was that the updated colour grading on Fellowship had been mistakenly pushed too far at some point in the mastering of the disc. That director Peter Jackson and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie hadn't intended the disc to look as it does. Well, Bill Hunt at the Digital Bits got the definitive answer, straight from the horses mouth, yesterday:
- "Warner Bros Home Entertainment Group confirms that The Lord of the Rings The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition Blu-ray accurately represents the intended look of each of the three features.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring™ was remastered from the original digital production files in order to reproduce the full color imagery of the feature."
Also of note, Harry Knowles of Ain't it Cool News independently confirms through direct communication with the filmmakers that indeed, Fellowship looks exactly as intended in this new Blu-ray set. So go ahead, disregard the controversy and grab yourself a copy of, what will no-doubt be one of the most comprehensive Blu-ray sets to be released this year. 15-discs, remastered extended editions of all 3 films, all the special features from the Extended Edition DVDs, the 3 Costa Botes documentaries and digital copies of the films all in one big box. And if you buy now through Amazon.com, you get it all for for 42% off the suggested retail price. Sold.

2. 3 FROM CRITERION: BLACK MOON, ZAZIE DANS LE METRO and PEOPLE ON SUNDAY
Three new releases from Criterion take the number two slot this week. Cheating? Yeah, a little bit, but there's a good reason for it – outside of the new Lord of the Rings boxed set, these are the discs I'm most excited about this week but I haven't seen a single one of them yet (damn you Canada Post and your mail strike, keeping me from receiving screeners!!!) , so in my mind, they're all equal!
I can tell you, however, that Black Moon and Zazie dans le metro, both Louis Malle films, have been receiving rave reviews from critics, with transfers that best any previous presentation of the films on home video. Black Moon is apparently stunning. Robert Siodmak's silent People on Sunday is surprisingly presented in 1080i – a step-down from Criterion's usual full-progressive transfers. I'm sure there's good reason for this and I look forward to looking into it when I get my hands on the disc.
- "Based on Mordecai Richler's prize-winning comic novel, BARNEY'S VERSION is the warm, wise, and witty story of Barney Panofsky, (Paul Giamatti), a seemingly ordinary man who lives an extraordinary life. Barney's candid confessional spans four decades and two continents, and includes three wives (Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, and Rachelle Lefevre), one outrageous father (Dustin Hoffman), and a charmingly dissolute best friend (Scott Speedman). BARNEY'S VERSION takes us through the many highs — and a few too many lows — of a long and colorful life with an unlikely hero at its center —the unforgettable Barney Panofsky."
After all the hoopla here in Montreal surrounding the filming and release of Barney's Version, an adaptation of late local hero Mordecai Richler's 1997 novel of the same name, I can't but feel a little let down by the film. It's mostly fine work and, without question, a stand-out Canadian film but on the international stage, it falls flat. To be fair, it's a complex story, well juggled by screenwriter Michael Konyves, of a complex, well rendered character, played by Giamatti. But between his often reprehensible actions and Giamatti's often overheated performance, it's tough to feel like spending time with Barney Panofsky. In fact, many of the performances feel artificial or forced (as is often the case in Canadian films, I find), with Hoffman's portrayal of ex-cop dad, 'Izzy' Panofsky the standout exception and the real life of the film.
It can't have been easy translating a famous novel, written in the first person and cut into episodes, one for each of the main character's three wives, into a cohesive whole and I give director Richard J. Lewis props for assembling a film that works well enough and feels organic from beginning to end. I just didn't engage with it as much as most critics seem to have.
The Blu-ray disc presentation of Barney's Version looks fantastic. Detail is plentiful and colour is spot on and the whole thing maintains a very film-like appearance throughout. The film is dialogue heavy, of course, and the 5.1 DTS-HD track keeps it crisp and clean. Musical cues are given plenty of headroom to breathe and ambient sound, while limited, is effective.
There's a surprising amount of bonus goodies on the disc starting with a pretty decent writer and director commentary track, that brings producer Robert Lantos along for the ride. There's also a lot of deleted scenes on the Blu-ray, over half an hours worth, that seem to be exclusive to the eOne disc release from Canada (I don't see them listed on Sony's US version.) Add to that an hour-long conversation between Giamatti and Annette Insdorf (truncated to 35-minutes on the US disc), red carpet interviews and a few minutes with the late author discussing and reading from the book and you've got one hell of a nice Blu-ray package!
- "Born from the creative vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300), this epic action fantasy launches from the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Locked away against her will, Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four fellow captives – outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) – to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorki (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm). "
There's a lot of hate going around for Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch. And rightly so, I guess. It's certainly got a lot of problems. And they're core problems, at that. The mishandling of story and theme is almost unforgivable, not to mention the fact that he mistakenly presents fetishisized female characters when his intent was clearly to show young, empowered women. That said, Snyder really knows how to fashion a scene and bleed every ounce of production design from every frame of film. This is a great looking, incredibly imaginative film. And the scenes where the girls are lost in his various fantasy lands are stunning and, if taken out of the context of the rape and subjugation of the girls that the action sequences are meant to represent, a whole lot of fun. Honestly, some of the best sci-fi/fantasy, robot riding, sword swinging, gun-toting, steam-powered-Nazi-zombie killing action scenes I've ever seen. I'm anxious to see what Snyder cooks up for his Superman film (coming up in December 2012) when he's directing someone else's (hopefully) much more coherent script. Sucker Punch is an ambitious project, to be sure, but in the end, one that simply proves that Snyder should stick to doing what he does best – adapting comics and genre films.
You might argue the merits of the film itself but the Sucker Punch Blu-ray is beyond reproach. This thing is very nearly perfect. It looks amazing in high-def, with blacks so inky you'll get lost in them, blazing colours and tons and tons of detail. And just when you think things can't get any better, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track will sneak up and "sucker punch" you in the gut! This is reference quality audio here, with wall-shattering lows and screaming highs, dead-clear dialogue and more surround activity than your speakers have seen in ages.
I have only three words to say to you regarding the special features on the Sucker Punch Blu-ray – Maximum Movie Mode! That's right, Snyder is back for another walk-on commentary and, much like his Watchmen walk-through, this one is almost worth the price of the disc itself. There's a ridiculous wealth of information here, with pop-up interviews, still galleries, storyboards and more. The MMM is only on the Extended cut of the film. The disc package also includes a Blu-ray with the Theatrical Cut of the film, which features a collection of animated shorts (motion comics detailing the background of each of the films fantasy sequences) and a 3-minute look at the creation of the soundtrack of the film. The Blu-ray combo pack is rounded out with a DVD and Digital Copy of the film and BD-Live functionality.
- "Still grieving the death of their only child Alice at the jaws of a crazed dog, vet Patrick and pharmacist Louise relocate to the remote town of Wake Wood where a local pagan ritual gives them three more precious days with her… but what will they do when it's time for their new daughter to go back."
Again with my expectations.
Wake Wood is one of the first productions of the new Hammer films and, as such, I entered into my viewing of it expecting a certain type of experience. I have to admit, I was immediately thrown by the low-budget look of the film – shot on video, with a lot of shaky looking, muddy-dark night footage. One thing is too be certain, this isn't the Hammer of old. Once I acclimated to the look of the picture, I found the tone of the film to hew closely to the studio I've known and loved for years.
Wake Wood isn't a particularly inventive or scary film. But it hits a lot of the right notes. It comes across like a latter day, smaller scale Wicker Man, with Timothy Spall filling in for Christopher Lee as the father-figure of the titular, closed-off, pagan-magic-filled community. Spall does his best but never rises to the levels of overpowering creepiness that Lee is capable of. The suspense is, for the most part, nicely handled throughout but the filmmakers tend toward accenting spookier moments with unnecessary music and effect cues that keep the film from feeling as polished and modern as it could. All in all though, a good early effort from the reborn Hammer studios. I look forward to their next fright night.
The Wake Wood Blu-ray disc, available today in Canada from eOne and next week in the US from Dark Sky Films, can only ever look as good as its source material. And in this case, the source isn't very pretty. The HD cam-shot film looks digital from beginning to end, often appearing flat, dark or washed out. The filmmakers make the most of it though, using it to effect in quite a few scenes. But the Blu-ray, while the best presentation possible, simply can't hold a candle to bigger budget offerings. The DTS-HD Master Audio track is quite effective in adding suspense through ambient noise, while keeping dialogue clean and clear up the middle. I did, however, find the balance a bit off at times, which doesn't seem to be the case with the Dolby Digital 2.0 track.
Extras include 14-minutes of deleted scenes and the theatrical trailer.
- "Agoraphobic mystery novelist Lauren Cochran decides to leave the city in an attempt to cure her recent writer's block. She rents an old Victorian house in the quiet countryside, unaware of its shocking history. As those around her suffer increasingly violent deaths, Lauren begins to unravel the truth: the house was once an infamous brothel now haunted by the victims of a bloody massacre. Will her terrifying phobia allow her to escape from "The Nesting"? Long unavailable on home video, "The Nesting" has been newly transferred in High Definition from the original camera negative and is presented here in a never-before-seen Director's Cut."
All right, I admit it. More cheating. I've added a number six this week just to let you know that there's a new Blue Underground release. I haven't seen it yet (nor had I even heard of the film before seeing the listing for this Blu-ray disc!) but just the fact that BU is releasing it is enough to sit up and take notice. I should be getting my hands on a copy this week, at which time I'll let you know what I think of it. I'm not usually a fan of the 'blind buy' but I make exception for a few boutique labels – Criterion, Severin and Blue Underground among them.

Air Quality State Implementation Plans (SIPs)
On this page:
- Action Log Terms and Abbreviations
- Links to Locally Enforceable Regulations
- Links to Criteria for SIP Approval
- Links to Alternative Test Methods
SIPs are a collection of state and local regulations and plans to achieve healthy air quality under the Clean Air Act. State and local agencies must involve the public in the adoption process before SIP elements are submitted to EPA for federal approval or disapproval, and EPA must provide an opportunity for public comment before taking action on each SIP submittal.
This Web site contains action logs for the federally enforceable applicable SIPs in Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands. Action logs list the state and local air pollution regulations that EPA has incorporated into the applicable SIP under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In some cases, the actual text of the regulations may be attached. The contents of the action log are described below.
Action Log Terms and Abbreviations
Adoption Date: Describes when the rule was adopted by the state or local air pollution agency.
Submittal Date: Describes when the rule was submitted to EPA by the state agency.
Final FR Date: The publication date of EPA's final rulemaking notice, listed in the Federal Register. Rules generally become effective 30 days after publication.
FR Citation: References the page number in the Federal Register of the rulemaking notice.
The EPA has attempted to assure that the action logs accurately reflect the actions published in the Federal Register. If there are discrepancies, however, the Federal Register is the official record.
For each state and local agency, a file titled "notes" summarizes related EPA rulemaking actions other than rule approvals. These actions include rule disapprovals, negative declarations, nonattainment area plan actions, redesignations, rule rescissions, or other details of the action.
Links to Locally Enforceable Regulations
Text of locally enforceable regulations are available at the links provided below. In many cases, these regulations have been approved by EPA as a component of the applicable SIP. Since these links are not maintained by EPA, we cannot ensure the accuracy and timeliness of their content. Additionally, most state or local agencies are implementing some rules or versions of rules not listed in these action logs. This occurs when rules and rule amendments are not submitted and/or approved by EPA.
- The California Air Resources Board maintains a log of EPA actions on air district rules, and provides text of the district rules that are currently implemented in the state.
- The county of Maricopa, Arizona provides listing of the rules currently implemented there.
Links to Criteria for SIP Approval
The applicable SIP contains many kinds of provisions including, for example, nonattainment plans, conformity regulations, permit rules and prohibitory rules.The criteria used for evaluating new SIP revisions and additions varies depending on the type of provision. Some relevant criteria are provided in the links below.
- Attainment/Maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards Information (NAAQS) (Title I)
Indexes a wide range of relevant federal regulations, policy and guidance
- Guidance Document for Correcting Common Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) & Other Rule Deficiencies (PDF) (20 pp, 474K, About PDF) (also known as the 'Little Bluebook')
Provides Region 9 guidance on evaluating rule enforceability
Links to Alternative Test Methods
Many SIP regulations refer to specific scientific methods for determining air pollution levels and other parameters. Many of these test methods are established by EPA and described in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, but EPA has also approved the use of alternative test methods. A link to approved alternative test methods that may be used in SIP regulations is provided below.
Please note that unless otherwise noted in the approval letter, these alternative test methods are not approved for use in determining compliance with the New Source Performance Standards or the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants.

(Example:"Panda AdminSecure", "2093 error") Tweet How to create a basic VPN connection in Panda GateDefender eSeries Information applies to: Products Panda GateDefender Integra eSeriesPanda GateDefender Performa eSeriesThis how-to illustrates the necessary steps to configure a Roadwarrior SSL VPN (OpenVPN) tunnel between a remote user's computer and a Panda GateDefender eSeries device.Configuration Example The example below will be creating a remote user (roadwarrior) connection to allow communication between any external remote computer and the internal site's Green network.This will allow the user to act as though they were locally (directly) connected to the Green network and will be able to access the same internal resources.Enable the VPN Server Access the Panda GateDefender administration console and select VPN form the top menu. This will open the OpenVPN server configuration page. If it is not yet enabled, check the OpenVPN server enabled box.Choose whether you want the OpenVPN server to run in bridged mode (i.e. included in the interface bridge) or you want it to run in non-bridged mode with a separate, unique VPN IP pool.The default is to run in bridged mode to the Green zone and this is recommended for most common VPN deployments. If you choose to run in bridged mode, you may also specify which network zone you want to be bridged to the VPN interface.Next, set aside a range of IP's within the bridged interface network to be used exclusively by the VPN server. Keep in mind that these IP's shouldn't be allocated anywhere else on the Panda GateDefender appliance (e.g. DHCP range, Static IP's, etc.). That is, the specified IP's should not be assigned to any other computer in the LAN as they will be assigned to the VPN client.Finally, click Save and restart to enable the VPN server.Note: Once the server has restarted, you should see a link appear to Download CA certificate and you will need to do this before you setup the client side. Just click the link and a file download window should appear to save the file (*.pem/.cer) to your local machine. Remember where you store this file for future reference.At this point, Panda GateDefender eSeries VPN Server section is already configured. You only need to verify that, if there is a router between the appliance and the Internet, this router is redirecting UDP port 1194 to the IP of the appliance red zone. This port can be modified in the Panda GateDefender eSeries Advanced settings and, if so, remember to apply the same modification also to the VPN client.Create the VPN UsersNow you need to create a user who will have permission to access the VPN. To do so, navigate to VPN Users in the right navigation pane and click Add new User.Finally, to complete these steps, you only need to download the VPN client, install it and configure it in the roadwarrior using the previously created user and its certificate.

Has anyone ever tried to convince you that a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement is just the right plan for you? An EA can be a powerful cost-cutting tool that helps you stay compliant and up to date. But, not everyone should be in an EA. In fact, many organizations will find the program to be an inefficient licensing vehicle for their specific needs. An EA does make sense under certain conditions. However, if those conditions are not present, other Microsoft licensing programs may be the best fit for your organization.
In this webinar, we talk about types of situations that might benefit from an EA as well as scenarios that might be better served by other programs. Presented by one of our top Microsoft Practice licensing analysts, Jack Dillman, this webinar helps you explore key considerations regarding the EA, what to watch for, and where the greatest opportunities for licensing optimization lie.
