I use it in a few different ways. I can quickly carbonate home made soda. I can give away beer samples in plastic bottles I don't have to worry about getting back. I can carbonate samples to see what the beer will taste like.
Works great
Review by Brandon

The product worked great with a plastic soda bottle (was trying to make carbonated water). The down side is it says not to use with glass bottles so you have to store your beer in a plastic bottle.

Does our contemporary Thanksgiving menu bear any resemblance to the original?
The first Thanksgiving feast was launched by the Pilgrims in the autumn of 1621 to celebrate having made it through their first winter and a summer growing season helped along by their friends in the Wompanoag tribe.

Iran to help Syria withstand plots by global arrogance: SNSC chief
Sat Feb 2, 2013 4:54PM
Condemning Tel Aviv's recent attack on the Arab country, Jalili said, "Israel tried to exact revenge on people who have stood against aggressors by [launching] aerial attack on Syria."On Wednesday, the Syrian army said in a statement that two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a research center in Jamraya, near the capital, Damascus. Israel declined to comment on the issue. Following the assault, Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi warned of an international plot in Syria and urged a serious reaction to Israel's strike. Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in the violence. The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants fighting the Syrian government are foreign nationals.

If you want to start a peaceful revolution, the person to call is a Serb with a passion for Tolkien. Srdja Popovic is advising rebels in 40 countries. Emma Williams watches him at work and at home...
From INTELLIGENT LIFE magazine, May/June 2012
When he was a boy, in the 1970s, Srdja Popovic used to crawl through a hole in the wall of a half-built cathedral. "It was my playground," he says. We are in downtown Belgrade, and Popovic is talking about his work, his city and, for now, the vast white building in front of us, the Cathedral of St Sava.
He was nine, a new recruit to the international army of "Lord of the Rings" fans. He made the north tower his own, naming it Barad-dûr after Sauron's fortress in Mordor. He was old enough to know that Nazi bombing (in 1941) had halted the construction of the cathedral (begun in 1935), young enough not to be aware of any danger. For him and his friends, the surviving shell of walls and towers was a haven. "We used to swap shifts with amorous couples, we took the day shift and they appeared in the evening. We respected each other."
When politics allowed building to resume in 1985, Popovic's playground grew into one of the world's ten largest churches. It can take 10,000 worshippers, but is still unfinished. For the adult Popovic, it is less about Tolkien and more about Serbian history. The church, he tells me, stands on the site where the Ottomans burned the remains of St Sava in 1595. The saint, a 13th-century prince, was the founder of the self-governing Serbian Orthodox church and the author of Serbia's first constitution. When the Serbs revolted against the Ottomans, his image appeared on the flags they carried into battle. Hence the conflagration of his remains: a pointed retaliation.
Popovic knows about symbols, revolts and rallies. Now aged 39, he was only 18 when he took his first steps as a revolutionary. He was a key member of Otpor (Resistance), the nonviolent, 70,000-strong youth group that helped topple Serbia's dictator, Slobodan Milosevic, in October 2000. Three years later, he and another Otpor member, Slobodan Djinovic, founded an NGO, the Centre for Applied NonViolent Action and Strategies or, more palatably, Canvas.
Canvas trains pro-democracy activists in lessons derived from Otpor's experience. And it has impact. Popovic is widely seen as one of the architects of the Arab spring: when the American journal Foreign Policy named its top hundred global thinkers in December 2011, it put "the Arab revolutionaries" at number one, and named Popovic as one of them. He is even, according to the director of the Peace Research Institute Oslo, in line for a Nobel peace prize nomination.
When a repressive regime wobbles, the hand of Canvas can often be seen at work. Ahead of the Arab spring, it trained activists from Tunisia, Lebanon and Egypt. The protests in Tahrir Square, Cairo, that brought down President Mubarak in February 2011 unfolded like something from the Canvas training manual. Among the leaders were members of the April 6 Youth Movement, who had travelled to Belgrade in 2009 to learn how to conduct peaceful demonstrations, and cope with violence from security forces without resorting to it themselves. Canvas also helped them with organisation, mobilisation, overcoming fear and passivity, and training other protesters to spread the techniques.
Popovic is quick to state that the Arab spring is indigenous. "It's the result of the efforts and perseverance of the brave individuals in each movement. If Canvas's movies, books and the Otpor symbol have helped, that makes us proud, but we don't claim any credit. Canvas may have equipped activists from the Middle East and elsewhere with the tools to wage their struggle more efficiently, but it is their victory. It belongs to them."
The movie he is referring to is Steve York's documentary about the fall of Milosevic, "Bringing Down a Dictator", first shown on PBS in 2002. The symbol is Otpor's clenched fist, designed by Popovic's best friend, Nenad Petrovic-Duda, and based on the hand of Saruman from "Lord of the Rings". Canvas's logo takes the fist a stage further, embedding it in the arrow triangle that is the international symbol of recycling.
When Popovic got married, last summer, Petrovic-Duda was best man. The wedding was a sweltering affair in a glade in a Belgrade park. His bride, Masha, a radio and television journalist, appeared through the trees dressed in white embroidered satin, as the elf queen Galadriel. The groom, by contrast, wore frayed jeans and white sneakers.

How to Deal With Migraines
One Methods:Migraine causes
About 28 million Americans, approximately 12% of the population, suffer migraine headaches. A migraine headache is not the same thing as a tension headache, rather they are mild to severe bout of pain accompanied by other symptoms including nausea, distortions in vision, sensitivity to light and other afflictions. A migraine attack can last from four hours to three days, is most common in the 20 to 40 year old population and about three times more common in women than men.
1Before seeking treatment try to know if you are suffering a migraine, and not a simple headache or an even more serious condition. Symptoms of migraines include:
- Migraines are typically felt on one side of your head.
- Moderate to severe throbbing pain.
- Nausea, with or without vomiting.
- Sensitivity to light, noise, or odors
- Visual disturbances called "aura", see below.
- Frequent attacks, typically one to three a month.
- Loss of appetite
- Sensations of being very warm or cold
- Paleness
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Diarrhea
- Fever (rare)
2Identify migraine with aura. Also known as the classic migraine, a migraine with aura, which occurs in 10% to 30% of all migraine headaches, includes visual disturbances such as blurred vision, wavy lines, and patterns. Other symptoms of this migraine can include sensory disturbances, partial paralysis, and disorientation. The Aura typically develops 15 to 20 minutes before a migraine headache begins.Ad
Migraine causes
- Nobody really knows what causes migraines, but current research suggests migraines may be caused by functional changes in the trigeminal nerve system, a major pain pathway in your nervous system, and by imbalances in brain chemicals, including serotonin, which regulates pain messages going through this pathway. What they know for sure is that causes and treatment are variable for each individual, which is why your neurologist will want to know as much about your history and symptoms as possible. There are two factors that are common in many migraine patients:
- Hereditary. Migraine headaches have a tend to run in families, four out of five people who suffer from migraine headaches have a family history. Statistically, if either of your parents has a history of migraine headaches, you'll have a 50% chance of developing migraine; if both of your parents have a history of migraine, your risk jumps to 75%.
- Triggers. Researchers believe that people who suffer from migraine are hypersensitive to certain types of migraine "triggers". A migraine trigger can be a particular food, an environmental condition, or a hormonal factor.

|This video gives information on how to deal with migraines
Migraine triggers
- While just about anything can trigger migraines, here is a list of the more frequently reported migraine triggers:
Food Migraine Triggers
- Alcoholic beverages
- Sodium-nitrite-laden meat (hot dogs, deli meats, etc.)
- MSG (monosodium glutamate) (see migraine glossary) (food additive found in some processed meats, soups, salad dressings, etc.)
- Aspartame (artificial sweetener)
- Chocolate
- Citrus fruit
- Tyramine (chemical found in aged cheese)
- Caffeine (chemical found in coffee, tea, soda, chocolate, etc.)
- Nuts
- Onions
- Beans
- Pickled herring
- Dried smoked fish
- Dairy products
- Kiwi
- Cantaloupe
- Sour cream
- Yogurt (yeast extracts)
- Fatty foods
Physical Migraine Triggers
- Lack of sleep or too much sleep
- Exposure to too much sunlight
- Irregular sleep patterns
- Napping
- Head trauma
- Physical exertion
- Fatigue
- Vigorous activity (for instance, exercise)
- Sudden or intense exertion
- Irregular meal patterns
- Skipped meals
Hormonal Migraine Triggers
- Menstruation (including premenstrual)
- Ovulation
- Hormone supplements
Psychological Migraine Triggers
- Stress
- Post-stress activity
- Anxiety or worry
- Depression
Environmental Migraine Triggers
- Glare or bright light
- Flashing or flickering lights
- Fluorescent lighting
- Weather changes
- Strong odors (bad or good)
- Repetitive visual patterns (stripes, zigzags, etc.)
- Air pollution
- Secondhand smoke
- Chemical fumes
- Motion or travel
Drug/Chemical Migraine Triggers
- Nitroglycerin
- Histamine
- Reserpine (hypertension drug)
- Hydrazine (drug that lowers blood pressure)
- Diuretics
- Anti-asthma medications
- If you suspect you suffer from migraine headaches, or are beginning to suffer from them, it is important to consult a qualified health care professional to rule out more serious conditions (like brain tumors) and develop a treatment program. You will want to visit a neurologist, a doctor who specializes in the brain. Your primary care physician can refer you to a specialist after making a diagnosis.
Understand that whatever treatment options you and your neurologist agree on they will fall into three broad categories: trigger avoidance, prevention, and pain management.
- Trigger avoidance. Identifying and avoiding any possible triggers is the first step in treating a migraine. Simply a process of trial and error, if you find the right trigger for you, you are very lucky. In addition most migraine sufferers begin treatment with readily available over the counter pain relievers including ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen sodium (Aleve) or aspirin. With most migraines however, these treatments will have little or no effect.
- Migraine prophylaxis (prevention medicine). In this part of the treatment program medicines and other techniques are used to try to stop a migraine before it starts.
- Acute migraine pain relief therapy. Here, the approach uses powerful pain relievers to try to attack the pain of a migraine while it is there. In recent years, great strides have been made in this area, particularly in the development of a new class of drugs know as Triptans.
Trigger avoidance and self-medication
Patients often attempt to identify and avoid triggers that promote or precipitate migraine episodes. Many begin with the basics like:
- Cutting back or eliminating drinking alcohol and smoking.
- Getting enough regular sleep, but not too much.
- Regular, healthy meals.
- Moderation in caffeine intake.
- OTC (over the counter) pain relief drugs are often used in combination with caffeine. Caffeine is recognized by the U.S. FDA as an OTC treatment for migraine, and often the first thing tried by doctors. In addition to pain reliever some patients have had encouraging results with OTC antihistamines and anti-nausea agents. Excedrin is an example of an aspirin with caffeine product.
- Visualization, biofeedback and self-hypnosis are also alternative treatments and prevention approaches.
- Bruxism or the clenching or grinding of teeth, especially at night, is a trigger for many migraines. A device called a nociceptive trigeminal inhibitor (NTI) can be fitted by dentists and clips over the front teeth at night, preventing contact between the back teeth. It has a success rate similar to butterbur and co-enzyme Q10, although it has not been subjected to the same rigorous testing as the supplements. Massage therapy of the jaw area can also reduce such pain.
- Create an ice cream headache to directs cooling to the hypothalamus, which is suspected to be involved with the migraine feedback cycle:
- Place a couple of spoonfuls of ice cream on the soft palate at the back of the mouth.
- Hold them there with your tongue until they melt or become intolerable.
- Many physicians believe that exercise for 15-20 minutes per day is helpful for reducing the frequency of migraines.
Migraine prophylaxis (preventive medicines)
Preventive medication, taken under the supervision of a neurologist, is often taken daily for a few weeks before it can be determined if it has a preventative effect. The sheer number of different medications, combined with the fact that every migraine case in is many ways unique, means that finding the right combination of medicines for migraine prevention can take a while. The most effective prescription medications include several drug classes:
- Beta blockers like propranolol and atenolol.
- Anticonvulsants such as valproic acid and topiramate.
- Antidepressants including tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) such as amitriptyline and the newer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine (Prozac) have proven effective in many cases.
- Sansert was withdrawn from the US market, but is still available in Canadian pharmacies. Although highly effective, it has rare but serious side effects, including retroperitoneal fibrosis.
- Namenda, memantine HCI tablets are used in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. Some Doctors are beginning to investigate the effect of these drugs on migraine sufferers. Namenda has not yet been approved by the FDA for the treatment of migraines.
Acute migraine pain relief therapies
- In recent years new classes of powerful drugs have been developed to treat migraine pain while it is present.
- Serotonin Agonists also known as Triptans, are a new class of drugs that are effective in treating migraine pain while it is happening. 70-80% of patients taking triptans report a reduction of symptoms or an aborted attack within 30 to 90 minutes. Triptans have few side effects if used in correct dosages and frequency. These drugs have been available only by prescription (US, Canada and UK), but sumatriptan became available over-the-counter in the U.K in June, 2006 and others are due to follow in the coming years.
- Ergot alkaloids. Until the introduction of sumatriptan in 1991, ergot derivatives were the primary drugs available to abort a migraine once there. These drugs can be used to avoid migraines, but like Triptans they are very expensive, and have side-effects, and so are used as pain rescue drugs for the most part. Ergot drugs come in tablets, suppositories, tablets or pills and injections. They are hard to obtain in the USA but commonly used in Asia. Often these medicines are accompanied by caffeine which often makes them unsuitable for nighttime use, or patients experiencing sleeping difficulties.
- Fioricet or Fiorinal are a cocktail of butalbital (a barbiturate), acetaminophen (in Fioricet) or acetylsalicylic acid (more commonly known as aspirin and present in Fiorinal), and caffeine. While the risk of addiction is low, butalbital can be habit-forming if used daily, and it can also lead to rebound headaches. Barbiturate-containing medications are not available in many European countries.
- Narcotic pain killers including codeine, morphine or other opiates provide variable relief, but their side effects, the possibility of causing rebound headaches or analgesic overuse headache, and the risk of addiction contraindicates their general use.
- Amidrine (a cocktail of a pain reliever, a sedative, and a vasoconstrictor) is sometimes prescribed for migraine headaches.
- Anti-emetics by suppository or injection may be needed in cases where vomiting dominates the symptoms. The earlier these drugs are taken in the attack, the better their effect.
- Prednisone tablets, an adrenal hormone and a non-anabolic steroid, stimulates the creation of proteins from your DNA that include enzymes that cure migraines through various metabolic boosts. Due to the intensity of side effects (bone loss, osteoporosis) and other risks with these medicines they are usually reserved for "Status migraines" an extremely rare but life-threatening condition
Alternative treatments
- For many years conventional approaches to migraine relief offered little hope for many patients. Given that, and the fact that the first migraine was reported over 9000 years ago, a wide range of alternative therapies have developed over the years. These treatments, much like their government regulated cousins are effective for some, but not for others. Alternative migraine therapies include:
Acupuncture and acupressure are the treatment of choice for many, although no tests have shown these treatments will help, migraines are a type of vascular headache, so your results may vary. Usually acupuncture is considered a preventive treatment particularly, not a way to treat the actual pain as acupuncture deals in slow re-stabilizing of the body. To subdue pain with acupressure:
- Use the thumb and index finger and apply pressure to the depression at the base of the occiput 1 inch (2.5 cm) lateral to the spine.
- Incense and scents help in some cases, especially peppermint and lavender. Nobody knows why, but it has been proven.
Magnesium supplements can reduce the frequency of migraine headaches. To use Epsom salts to help migraines:
- Place a heaped teaspoonful of Epsom salts in the palm of one hand as soon as the first signs of a migraine begin.
- Have some water ready in a glass in the other hand.
- Toss the Epsom salts into the mouth with one hand and then with the other hand drink some water to wash it down.
- If tossing the Epsom salt and washing it down is done in quick succession one will experience nothing of the extreme bitterness of the Epsom salt.
- Darken the room and lie down for an hour or so.
- Riboflavin (vitamin B2), co-enzyme Q10 and butterbur extract have been subjected to double-blind studies that suggest they have a positive effect on migraine pain.
- Coenzyme Q10 has been found to have a beneficial effect in a well-controlled trial.
- Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a traditional herbal remedy believed to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.
- Kudzu root (Pueraria lobata) has been demonstrated to help with menstrual migraine headaches.
- Ice applied directly to the throbbing area of the temple is a very simple and effective remedy. Migraines are caused by the dilation of blood vessels and the coldness will constrict them.
- Avoid the bright sun especially at mid morning.
- If your migraine comes with nausea w/ vomiting. Sometimes it helps not to hold it back. Vomiting actually sometimes helps relieve some of your migraine pain.
- Get away from electronic screens, light (especially fluorescent), and noise. Take a nap. Then eat something if your blood sugar feels low.
- Massaging the back portion of the neck is very helpful as it allows more blood to flow into the head. In combination with Epsom salts, it helps to stop a migraine in its track.
- In most cases, if you drink caffeine (coffee, soda, etc.) it will help your migraine.
- Heat applied to the center of pain, rather than cold, can be very therapeutic and ease the pain. Both of these factors suggest that in some migraines, an increase in circulation helps.
- Take a fresh bay leaf, crush it in your fingers, hold it up to your nose, breathe in deep, wait, breathe in deep, wait, repeat this until you feel a sharp, cool pain in your sinuses. Stop. You'll feel as though you have to sneeze, but won't. This should make the migraine go away.
- Take a little Epsom salt before eating butter or cream or whatever triggers a migraine attack.
- If the migraine was not arrested at the very beginning, double the dosage of Epsom salts.
- Carry a small sachet of Epsom salts with you wherever you go.
- Light physical activity (tidying, walking) therapeutic during a migraine attack. One wants to lie down and remain stationary, but ironically, light activity seems more beneficial.
- Listening to light music is also very helpful.
- Do not give aspirin to children under 16 because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.
- Epsom salt is taken orally as a laxative and acts as an osmotic.
- Taking a Triptan while also taking an SSRI or SNRI can produce a dangerous condition known as serotonin syndrome.

Hello storytellers, As promised a while ago, we are open sourcing our platform. A first version is now available at http://storytlr.googlecode.com with a detailed set of instructions on how to install. With this code, you can host your own storytlr on your own ser...
I tried to install it on localhost
The specified cache directory (/tmp) does not exist.
Where should I create that tmp folder. I tried to create in the storytlr root and in /protected but it doesnt't work :(
I think advocates for open source are really advocates for consulting services. You either grok it or hire someone who does.
After a few bugs have been fixed it should be a simple case of extracting the files from a .zip and following 6 simple instructions!
I have installed it at my site at ddevnet {dot} net (there are too many spammers here to safely just give you the normal URL).
Also, because of the way Storytlr works if I wanted to set up an instance and invite random people I easily can - I could even convert my current site to be a multi-user install in just a minute of work!
I can compile my own Apache, perl and PHP with OpenSSL etc from source ... and yet after a week screwing with storytlr I don't have a working install. The storytlr discussion group has not helped much with information either. I hope you can understand my frustration.
I love StoryTlr - Wuxialerenard
but if you don't when do u think to release bakcup tool and open source?
The title says it all, we have decided to stop operating Storytlr in 10 weeks, on December 31st 2009. The reason is simple: our lives have moved on, kids were born, house were bought, new projects appeared and we don't have time anymore to operate this service properly. We have spent the la...
but you got your lives to live
thanks for the nice time i had with your service
Thanks for your passionate work. Best of luck for your new projects.
But the service was just half of what was really needed to explode ;-)
Hope, that all this work will not be lost.
Is it anyway to have a "storytlr package" for everyone's server ?
What about, a Public subscription at Brussels Betagroup level, to keep this service alive ?
If you need help, I'd be glad to give a hand (or two) ;-)
Grazie di tutto !

Grazie di tutto !
but I use storytlr from almost the begining, I encourage you (not that much, every day I clapp my hands for you... ) from the beginign and now I'm a bit lost,...
lost because when you go this summer for the google dev. summit you were very excitited and us too,...!
we have wainting for 3 moths for a feedback of this experience and any improvement of the service with new features etc,..
but nothing came, what's happen ?
so you stopp,... it's your decision, must respect that but today I didn't really understand why you do that,..!?
thers is no services like this one, who can merge all data since there creation date and not since from the use of the service,... nobody can do that,...!
swurl, sweetcron, soup.io, posterous, tumblr, no one have your force !!
This services was THE perfect landing page for a full curriculum vitae of experiences/ life on the web.
what we are going to be now, our data will spread, again, trought the all web and like homeless people 2.0, we will wander throught this brutal 2.0 services world
good luck for the futur, hope the project bring you all you have research and can serve you for do much and come back :-P
thank youy guys !!
Even if it's wrong =)
(Have you tried contacting the people from lifemee? there solution is a bit green, and a bit different concept, but... who knows...)

Been here for along time hate to see you guys go. but I do understand things change, wish you all the best!

Pre-signup now to keep informed about the progress. We will provide a new place for Storytlr users.
And last but not least : would that service provide at least as much as storytlr ?
I'm using www.storyofmylife.com - I will not use another start-up that will also go under in a year and my stuff lost. Be smart folks.
Instead I've started knitting my own system using Tumblr, Yahoo! Pipes and Disqus - all services with sufficient size and backing for me to feel safe. Having lost Swurl and now Storytlr I'm not going to leap into bed with an anonymous start-up.
Thanks & success!
thank you from the bike messengers around the world
en vacances au soleil, sous la pluie ? enfin storytl us !!
Hi everyone, We've just learned that Storytlr was nominated in the 'best boostrapped startup' category for the Techcrunch Europas award. The selection of the five finalists is based on public votes. So... if you like what we do, and want to support us... just vote ! http://uk.techc...
Dear all, As some of you have noticed and expressed on twitter, our service has encountered some issues over the last two days. Here is a quick update on the status and the actions we are taking to solve this. Service unavailable: This was caused to a DNS issue at our provider, whi...
As you know, I went to San Francisco for a week in May, on invitation by Google to demo Storytlr at I/O. Here is a short interview they did during the conference. This way, you can now put a face on Storytlr (the other face, the one of Alard, is missing as he wasn't able to join me at I/O).
Do you really need to translate now ? Why not keeping on going improving the service and bringing it to a even higher value for the user... and then consider internationalization later ?!? It would have been better to think about it at the very beginning... but now, as it's too late, will it make a big difference ?
PS : And by the way, may be you could fix this tiny bug-feature-breakingballs thing ? :-)
PHP for example has excellent internationalization frameworks, but you must use them from the start.
I think that many US based projects simply don't do this. This is one reason why going international is a pain for them. Refactoring would be too costly.
PS: Thx for the bug, had actually never seen or heard complains on this. Will fix asap.
Today and tomorrow we're presenting Storytlr at Google I/O in San Francisco. We thought it would be a good opportunity to announce an exciting new location feature. Lifestreaming services typically offers a reverse chronological view of all your online activities. Although such a view can b...
A quick post to let you know that as part of the weekly maintenance we ran today, we also rolled out a new architecture with a reverse proxy. Nothing to be afraid of, this is just a really cool trick to reduce the load on a server by letting a lightweight server (nginx) deal with static content, and...
Hi storytellers ! As you may have read a while ago, we have been invited by Google to present Storytlr, in San Francisco, at the Developer Sandbox of Google I/O. This will be on May 27th & 28th. In addition to that, we'll participate to a very special SFNewTech event, on ...
When Mark Krynsky blogged about it, we totaly felled for it. So much that it also inspired our new dashboard page and that Alard immediately started to port it. The Irresistible theme is a free, GPLed, theme by WooThemes, so they were happy for us to go ahead and make it available to you. You can ha...
Post by email works great for most of our users, so you must be experiencing an issue (although I don't see errors in my logs). Maybe due to a Japanase charset or something like that ?
Please send us an email to support at storytlr.com with details of what goes wrong.
Thanks !
Worth trying with another email provider as well to have more data points. Thanks for helping us debug this !
Hello Storytellers !Right on time for Easter, we bring you the 9th release of storytlr, and we hope you'll like it as much as we do. New features include post by email, a much improved bookmarklet, a new 'dashboard' view, plus the usual tweaking and debugging. Details below and, as always, we count ...
Bravo à vous!
J'essaie de vous faire un feesback
Following our new release, we've received the same request from various users: "how did eschnou add a 'blog' tab showing only his blog entries ?". It is really easy to do, but not necessarily obvious (something to make easier in the next release). Here is how to do it: Add another page of the typ...
Hello Storytellers ! Just in time for the spring, we bring you a fresh new release with two really exciting new features and various little tweaks and bug fixes. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do ! If you want to directly see the new features in action, have a look at eschnou's page....
La personnalisation des titres et les tags nous rapprochent d'un blog mais en beaucoup mieux !

Message To My Fans
My time on Dancing with the Stars was such a thrill! I feel so
grateful to have had this adventure with one of the greatest champions
that I have ever met. Tony Dovolani taught me so much about myself and
I have made a friend for life. My fans were such a source of support
through this process and I am thankful to every one of you who
encouraged me.
Life is most exciting when chances are taken. If I can try something
this hard, you can too. I hope that I have inspired some of you to
take risks and to go outside of your comfort zone. My next step is to
finish my record so that I can celebrate and share new music. The
journey continues....

What A Weekend: Indian River County Events: Feb 24-26
The forecast calls for cooler temperatures this weekend, perfect for a downtown hoedown like Boots & BBQ from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 24 at 14th Avenue and 21st Street in Vero Beach. Sponsored by Main Street Vero Beach, the event will include line dancing to the music of Crooked Creek, which are bound to work up a thirst for some cold beer and an appetite for some Southern barbecue.

The 13 common words that will get your email flagged by the NSA
Dear Concerned American,
It may have already happened.
YOU could be flagged as a potential terrorist by the NSA.
All it takes is using these very simple and very common words in an email and then – BOOM – you're on the blacklist. By the time you've read this email, you'll have seen all 13 words.
That's not even the scariest part.
No, what's worse is that these words aren't codes or threatening in the least.
(In fact, you've already seen 3 of them.)
These spying thugs don't care what you're talking about or whom you're talking to, if you raise the flag, then you get put under the microscope. Our founding fathers must be spinning in their graves watching these jack-booted thugs use our Constitution as a dishrag. (Hint: I've used 9 of them now.)
Luckily, our friend and patriot 'folk hero' has found a loophole in their system. With this simple little trick, you can avoid those spying thugs and take control of your privacy FOR GOOD.
And you can talk to, or about, anyone you like without fear of retribution from Obama's minions.
(P.S. Did you find all the words? Don't worry, after watching my video to the end you won't have to worry about what words you use or who's listening ever again.)

So, the third entry in the biweekly column of Movies We Watched. These are films that one or more of the writers managed to partake of over the previous fortnight. While they didn't get any formal write-up on the main site, they perhaps deserved honourable (or dishonourable) mention in the sidebar section:
Mad Max (1979) 3/5
Not quite as thrilling as I had hoped. It's got its fun moments to be sure, especially the opening car chase, but there are so many scenes in here that just drag and drag unfortunately. It's been years since I had seen this and I look forward to finishing off the trilogy in weeks to come. It's alright, but go spend the ten bucks to see "Doomsday" instead. It's got much more bang for your buck! -ANDREW
He Loves Me… He Loves Me Not (2002) 3.5/5
Quite a different role than might be expected from Audrey Tautou. Told in a non-linear style, it gives different perspectives throughout the film, changing the entire storyline on a dime. Don't look for a romantic comedy here; although the final act is devilishly comedic. The first time I've ever heard the term erotomania as well. Nice. -ANDREW
Dune (1984/1990 extended cut) 4.5/5
While it is very much flawed in terms of pacing/narrative-cohesion, this is the one and only David Lynch epic blockbuster. And it is very much a David Lynch film. As a bonus Dune features some of the best production design ever accomplished for a sci-fi film. The dark analog future of this film lingers, as does many of the superbly realized moments. Better than Star Wars for this fellow. -KURT
All The Real Girls (2003) 4/5
Quirky, honest, ugly, beautiful and manipulative – and I mean these adjectives as compliments. David Gordon Green's serene act of juggling so many things results in a rather conventional story told in a compelling and fresh way. The leads, Paul Schneider – who cowrote – and Zooey Deschanel, have sizzling chemistry confidently shown right from the very first scene. -KURT
Hatchet (2006) 2/5
I had a lot of fun with this movie. The humor is spot-on, and caused me to laugh out loud a number of times. I also liked the way they built up the legend of Victor Crowley, a brand new maniacal movie monster along the lines of Jason and Michael Myers. In Hatchet, director Adam Green has created a throwback, a film that contains all the best elements of the slasher movies of the 80's. A real blast! – 4/5 DAVE
And in contrast, I thought every single element of this film, acting, humour, homage, lighting was 100% amateur hour, I HATED, HATED, HATED this film, in no small part due to its hyperbolic claim of 'old-school horror' which it most certainly is not…merely bad imitation. – 0/5 KURT
Dinner at Eight (1933) 4.5/5
A star-packed movie from the early 30's, in much the same vein as 1932's Grand Hotel. The Barrymore brothers, Wallace Beery, Marie Dressler and Jean Harlow live it up in high society, yet find themselves always one step away from the poor house. The men are superb, but Dinner at Eight belongs to the women (Harlow is great, but Dressler, in one of her last roles, is even better…stealing just about every scene she's in). -DAVE
The Kite Runner (2007) 4/5
Having loved the book, I was hesitant to watch this, but I'm thankful to say it was not only kept the spirit of the book, but it was a very good movie in its own right. Going with a cast full of mostly unknowns was a great choice on Marc Forster's part and thankfully the studio agreed. -JONATHAN
Drillbit Taylor (2008) 2/5
Basically, this is a less raunchy, less funny, more junior high friendly Superbad. -JONATHAN
I Heart Huckabees (2004) 4/5
Not at all what I expected, but I enjoyed the hell out of it still. It could probably use another viewing though. – 3.5/5 JONATHAN
The Screwball Comedy lives! Watch for a sneakily wonderful performance from Mark Wahlberg. – 4.5/5 KURT
Suspect (1987) 3.5/5
Watching this now is pretty dull and fairly cheesy. Not to mention predictable. It is fun watching a much younger Dennis Quaid and I'm always a fan of Cher's acting ability. Liam Neeson can't talk in the film, so what's the point of that? Though he does what he can. Don't bother unless you're a REALLY big fan of one of these actors. However, back in the day I can see why people might've liked it in a "A Few Good Men" kind of way; so it gets an extra half star for that. -ANDREW
Breaking and Entering (2006) 4/5
Aside from a TV movie and his bit in "New York I Love You," this was Anthony Minghella's final film before death. Two of Europe's finest play roles that are intriguing and more than a bit heartbreaking. Couple this with a sort of a coming of age story and a pretty good drama is churned out. Sadly, The Office's Martin Freeman is underused and I'm not sure what Robin Wright Penn is trying to do with the accent, but otherwise quite a nice little film. -ANDREW
Becket (1964) 5/5
A fantastic film from start to finish. Richard Burton shines as the ill-fated Thomas Becket, but it's Peter O'Toole who steals the show as Henry II of England (a role he would repeat in the equally great 1968 film, A Lion in Winter). A textbook example of what an epic film should be. -DAVE
Turkish Delight (1973) 4/5
This early Paul Verhoeven film is not afraid to go to extremes. Sometimes raunchy, other times just plain disgusting, Turkish Delight is nonetheless a very touching love story. Rutger Hauer owns the screen as Eric Vonk, a sex addict who falls in love with a beautiful redhead (played by the lovely Monique van de Ven). This was Hauer's first starring role, and he makes the most of it. I can't promise this will be an easy film for you to watch, but if you can make it through to the end, you won't be disappointed. -DAVE

Resident culture snob.

Bomba Estéreo
""FUEEEEE-GO!!" "FUEEEE-GO!" The way Liliana Saumet draaags out that first syllable and barks out the second…el Diablo himself would have sex shivers. This Bogotá-based outfit mashes Colombian cumbia with dub, Afro-Colombian champeta, Peruvian chicha, dancehall, reggaeton and more to create an "electro tropical" sound that's so hot your brain shuts off, your clothes feel too tight, the temperature rises, and you don't care that you haven't danced since you did the robot at your cousin's wedding…you're a maniac on the dancefloor now, baby!
Formed in 2005 by producer and bassist Simon Mejia, Bomba Estereo (literally "Stereo Bomb") really took off with the addition of Liliana Saumet. With an elastic voice that growls, purrs, and shrieks, and an electrifying stage presence that pulls all eyeballs to her tiny, childlike frame, she's got the stuff that separates superstars from the rest of us.
On Blow Up, their third album, Saumet raps (nonchalantly switching from hip hop to dancehall and back) and sings with hair-raising emotional velocity. She will not be denied. Even on quieter tracks like "Feelin'" and "Jauna," even with your eyes closed, she demands undivided attention.
They will make you see stars, they will blow you away, they will set you on fuego. There's no stopping Bomba Estereo. "
Check out their amazing Best New Band 2010 performance at our exclusive Secret Show!

JOnAS 5.0 M1: New and Noteworthy
- Important: A JDK 1.5 is now required for building and running JOnAS 5.
Components Update
Servlet 2.5/JSP 2.1JOnAS 5.0 is using Java EE 5 api and allow to use the new versions of the Web Container including Apache Tomcat and Jetty in theirs sixth version. Apache Tomcat version is 6.0.13 and Jetty version is 6.1.4 Note that the support of Tomcat 5.5 and Jetty 5.X has been removed. New 'web' service in jonas.properties:
\# \#\#\#\#\#\# JOnAS Web container service configuration \# \# Set the name of the implementation class of the web container service. jonas.service.web.class org.ow2.jonas.web.tomcat6.Tomcat6Service \#jonas.service.web.class org.ow2.jonas.web.jetty6.Jetty6Service
OW2 componentsUpdates of JORAM (5.0.4), Carol (2.2.10) and Monolog (2.1.8)
EJB3 with new Persistence model.
- Support of EJB3 through OW2 EasyBeans container.
- Interceptors in EJBs, Dependency injection, bytecode enhancement instead of GenIC tool.
- Development is faster and easier.
- Documentation with User's guide
- New persistence model available with JPA
- This simplify the EJB CMP2 model. The default persistence provider in JOnAS 5.0 is Hibernate EntityManager.
- But tests have been done with Apache OpenJPA 0.9.8+, Oracle Toplink Essentials or others.
\# \#\#\#\#\#\# JOnAS EJB 3 container service configuration \# \# Set the name of the implementation class of the EJB 3 service. jonas.service.ejb3.class org.ow2.jonas.ejb.easybeans.EasyBeansService
Main Changes
DeploymentA new deployment framework is being implemented in JOnAS 5.0 M1. For now, EJB3 and EAR may use this deployment. This new framework is shared by EasyBeans and JOnAS. By dropping files in JONAS_ROOT/deploy directory, they're automatically loaded and monitored. If a change is happpening on a file, it is reloaded. Removing a file undeploy the associated module. Example:
An ear placed in the JONAS_BASE/deploy directory will be automatically deployed:
2007-07-11 15:52:47,685 : DeployableMonitorService.doInit : Use the deploy directories '[/home/sauthieg/jonasbases/jb.50/deploy]',
development mode is 'true'
2007-07-11 15:52:47,686 : ServiceManager.startServices : depmonitor service started
It is configurable in the jonas.properties:
mv /home/sauthieg/jonasbases/jb.50/apps/j2ee-1.4.ear /home/sauthieg/jonasbases/jb.50/deploy/ ... 2007-07-11 15:57:28,152 : Rar.processRar : Starting deployment of /tmp/JOnAS-Deployer-sauthieg/EAR/j2ee-1.4.ear/ra-sample.rar 2007-07-11 15:57:28,245 : Rar.processRar : /tmp/JOnAS-Deployer-sauthieg/EAR/j2ee-1.4.ear/ra-sample.rar available 2007-07-11 15:57:28,614 : JContainer.addBean : EarOp available 2007-07-11 15:57:29,137 : AbsJWebContainerServiceImpl.registerWar : War /tmp/JOnAS-Deployer-sauthieg/EAR/j2ee-1.4.ear/earsample.war available at the context /j2ee-1.4. 2007-07-11 15:57:29,141 : EarDeployer.deployEAR : 'EARDeployableImpl[archive=/tmp/JOnAS-Deployer-sauthieg/EAR/j2ee-1.4.ear]' EAR Deployable is now deployed
\#\#\#\#\#\#\# JOnAS Deployment Monitor
\# Set the name of the implementation class of the deployment monitor service
jonas.service.depmonitor.class org.ow2.jonas.deployablemonitor.DeployableMonitorService
jonas.service.depmonitor.development true
Ant tasks
Antlib, Ease of useAntlib are now used to simplify JOnAS tasks usage (jonas-ejb-jar, genic, wsgen, newjb, ...)
<project . . . xmlns:jant="http://jonas.objectweb.org/ant"> . . . <typedef resource="org/objectweb/jonas/ant/antlib.xml" classpath="lib/common/ow_jonas_ant.jar" uri="http://jonas.objectweb.org/ant" /> . . . <jant:jonas jonasroot="${jonas.root}" jonasbase="${jonas.base}" mode="ping" /> . . . </project>
Supports for discovery ttl configuration in newjbProperty 'discovery.ttl' has been added in build-jb.properties Allow to specify the number of network equipment that the discovery message can traverse. (0 means local only) Example of usage in newjb:
<discovery sourcePort="${discovery.sourceport}" greetingPort="${discovery.greetingport}" mcastAddr="${discovery.mcastaddr}" mcastPort="${discovery.mcastport}" ttl="${discovery.ttl}" />
OSGi bundlesAs a first step in the process of OSGi-zation of JOnAS, multiples modules have been provided. They are a first and essential step, next move is to move JOnAS runtime on an OSGi gateway with OSGi-enabled modules.
Introduction of the 'wm' (WorkManager) serviceThe WorkManager API was managed by both 'ejb' and 'resource' services. It's now an individual service that is configured in the jonas.properties:
\#\#\#\#\#\# JOnAS WorkManager service configuration
\# Set the name of the implementation class of the wm service
jonas.service.wm.class org.objectweb.jonas.workmanager.internal.JOnASWorkManagerService
\# Set the size of the worker thread pool
jonas.service.wm.minworkthreads 3
\# Set the maximun size of the worker thread pool
jonas.service.wm.maxworkthreads 80
\# Set the max # of seconds that a thread will wait for work
\# This is used to shrink the worker thread pool back to minimum
jonas.service.wm.threadwaittimeout 60
Name changesAs part of the JOnAS 5 refactoring, many classes have been moved and renamed (services included).
|service name
|new service classname
|web (tomcat)
|web (jetty)
Side Notes
Partial support for Java EE 5.0 XML SchemasThe modules (apps, ejbjars, webs, ...) using a new Java EE 5.0 XML Schema (xmlns:javaee="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee") can be deployed in JOnAS
GenIC: templates removed from JONAS_ROOT/templatesThey are now directly loaded from the classloader.
Deletion of Jeremie protocolJeremie (the RMI personality of the ORB Jonathan) has finally be removed from JOnAS codebase. It has been deprecated since JOnAS 4.7.X and was no more maintained by the community. The user who are still using Jeremie have to move to JRMP or IRMI protocols.
MEJB: EAR no more deployed (no webservices for MEJB)MEJB is no more deployed as an Ear. So the MEJB webservices is no more available in the 5.0 M1 version.
GenIDL removedA useless module no more maintained and not asked by the community has been removed from the codebase. If someone was relying on it, it could be revived in a separate module...
New Java EE 5 ExampleJOnAS examples were cleaned up to make room for new Java EE 5 samples. In particular, there is new ear sample wich is using Java EE 5. This is an Ear with a WebApp and an EjbJar that shows new EJB3 development style (Annotations, POJOs). Check the EasyBeans Getting Started documentation for more information.
JOnAS Admin
Live logsThis is a really nice new feature were the JOnAS administrator can see directly in the web console all the Log messages (Error, Warn, Debug, ...). This is really useful when the administrator do not have an access to the machines (terminal, ...). This can be activated in the 'trace.properties'. First, uncomment the jmxhandler:
Then, add the handler in the list:
\# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
\# jmxHandler : jmx handler
\# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
handler.jmxHandler.type jmx
handler.jmxHandler.output System.out
handler.jmxHandler.pattern %m%n
\# ----------------------------------------------------------------------- \# logger definitions \# ----------------------------------------------------------------------- logger.root.handler.0 tty logger.root.handler.1 logf logger.root.handler.2 jmxHandler
Cluster Daemon support
jonasAdmin now offers a view of managed cluster daemonsIf the cluster daemons are declared in the domain.xml of the JOnAS master instance, jonasAdmin will display the available cluster daemons nodes. Some clusterd properties are showed to the administrator:
- JMX Service URL: for a direct JMX connection
- ...
Ability to start/stop at once all JOnAS managed by a cluster daemon instanceThis is now possible to start or stop all the JOnAS instances managed by a cluster daemon instance.
Cluster daemon managementNow, jonasAdmin offers some cluster daemon management capabilities:
- Add/Remove JOnAS servers to a cluster daemon
- Save the clusterd.xml configuration file

Study Questions now available (PDF format)
THIS BODY THE EARTH is a republication of the 1935 edition by Harper & Brothers Publishers.
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Green (1894-1981) used his powerful pen to chronicle the lives of ordinary people. Marked by a deep moral seriousness, his plays, novels, and stories reveal the wastefulness and injustice of racial inequality, the frustration of unfulfilled dreams, the manifestations of hatred, the costs of heroic social action.
"In his own day (1894-1981) Paul Green was known, perhaps famous, as a crusader for the common man. Long before such matters became intelligentsia fashion, Green was, in the words of a tribute by the late Walter Spearman, 'poet, playwright, pioneer and prophet . . .in the cause of justice, democracy and dignity.'" Jim Wise DURHAM HERALD-SUN, April 25, 2003
Written in the years of the Great Depression of the 1930s, the novel looks back to a generation earlier, to the post-Reconstruction South, when poor whites vied with former slaves and the offspring of slaves to eke out an existence from land they seldom owned.
In passages of almost unremitting sorrow and weariness Green conveys the seasonal burdens of the sharecropper, the dismal life of toil and physical pain that was the lot of people who lived in the shotgun tenant houses.
But he also depicts the sparks of endurance and courage that Green so admired as the right of every human being, and whose story he celebrated time and again in his plays, in novels and short stories.
This Body the Earth chronicles the dreams and ambitions, the burdens and struggles of Alvin Barnes and his family, sharecroppers in North Carolina, 1885 - 1920. It remains one of the great tragic stories of the old South.
The 2003 soft cover reprint contains the unabridged text of the original and adds a biography of the author, an introduction by Laurence Avery, and an afterword by Avery Russell.

Crowbar -- Hollywood, CA -- April 11th, 2012
The show was at the Whisky in Hollywood and Witchburn and Prong were the openers. I wasn't sure about going to the show due to lack of funds, but ended up going. I walked in the venue a little before 10pm and found my friend at the door. We went inside to see Witchburn playing. They were cool but I don't remember them at all. They ended and I hung out near the bar for a bit until Prong came on. I know they played two new songs and Snap Your Fingers. Crowbar went on sometime after 11 and played for about an hour. It was awesome seeing Crowbar play a headlining show. That sounded heavy as fuck!!! I was right up front the entire time. I think the setlist is a little out of order, but these are the songs they played.
I didn't see orioner :(
Dude I thought you weren't gonna show up after your post yesterday! I got in right as Witchburn began and just kinda wandered around for the rest of the show. I also just now realized I messed up by wearing a sweater over my Sleep shirt. Sorry about that man, I'm sure we're gonna end up at the same shows in the coming weeks!
Prong was sick as hell, I think I actually liked them better than Crowbar! Tommy Victor is a plain badass onstage. Literally a minute after their set Tommy went to go chill by the merch booth and I chatted with him for a bit- super nice guy! Crowbar was dope as well, but I wish they played for longer. Tommy mentioned that his set was cut short because of the million openers the Whisky had, but it looks like Crowbar's set remained the same. Here's Prong's set, 100% accurate since Tommy okayed it:D The written setlist for Crowbar should also be correct, it matches the one I jotted down throughout the set.
For Dear Life
Beg To Differ
Eternal Heat
Revenge... Best Served Cold
Rude Awakening
Whose Fist Is This Anyway?
Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck
Awesome!! I wish Crowbar would tour outside the US.
I realized you would probably think I wasn't going after my last post. I posted around 6 I was going to go but I'm sure you were on your way at that point. If you were near the pit, you probably saw my friend in the orange beanie haha I was hanging out with him most of the night. I was looking for the Sleep jersey but it makes sense you had a sweater on. Next time for sure!

The Fourth District Supervisor's race has given me a bit of heart burn the past few weeks.

When Tom dropped that campaign I was left with several choices,…

Nelson Goes A.W.O.L. from Council Budget Meeting for his own Campaign Fundraiser
by Chris Prevatt •
"The more we get off our plate now, the less we have to deal with;†Nelson said. "I'm ready to make individual cuts as we go through the departments, or at least provide policy decisions because at some point I think there is going to be a will of the Council to – I can make something up but, the Park and Rec. department I know is one that I've seen the 10% cut, I don't support, I know that I can find far more than that in other departments, but we have to go through it to get there.â€

72nd Assembly District Election Update

Lawsuit will further divide village
July 06, 2011
Dear Editor,
On June 27, 2011 a lawsuit was initiated by a Goodrich resident in the Seventh District Court naming the Village of Goodrich, the Goodrich Council and the village clerk as defendants.
The suit maintains that the action taken on June 13, 2011 at a special council meeting, appointing a temporary council member, violated the Michigan Open Meeting Act and a provision in the village charter. Within the suit is an order "that the defendants shall show cause before this Honorable Court on July 11, 2011 at 11 a.m. why a Preliminary Order of Injunction shall not be issued until the actions conducted on June 13, 2011, can be corrected." In other words, the removal of myself from the council. The temporary appointment to the council expires on Aug. 2, 2011; the date of the special election which will fill a permanent vacancy until November 2012.
I am running to win that seat in the council. One would wonder why an individual would go through the trouble, time and expense to remove someone from the council whose temporary term expires three weeks from the court date. Is there some other motive below the surface? If I am required to step down from
the council by the court's decision I believe it will have a negative effect on on my ability to get elected in the Aug. 2 election. I am sure that some residents of Goodrich not knowing that it was a procedure issue that caused my removal, would only hear that I was required to step down from the council. They might think that it was some misdeed or personal action that led to my removal. This within itself would be grossly unfair and would wholly be a result of the law suit.
During the brief time I have been on the council I have called citizens and addressed their written concerns, presented to the council on various issues such as treatment of weeds in the pond, and the need to change a zoning delegation. I have introduced a suggestion that we use the Michigan Municipal League's Executive Search to locate the best candidate for the office of Village Manager.
I am financing my election campaign for the August election myself. I am not taking any donations from any individual or groups. At my recent Meet the Candidate evening, any donations collected were given to the Good Times in Goodrich Committee and the Goodrich Area Schools Robotic Club.
This law suit will only further divide the village. The resident who filed the suit did a dis-service to themselves and the village. It is my intention to work for the benefit of all the residents of the Village of Goodrich up to the August election and beyond.

I'm continuing to watch Voom's THE CLASSICS animation block in HDTV on the Animania channel, and while I do, I'm mulling over matters such as these:
* Were UPA's Dick Tracy shorts the worst cartoons ever adapted from a great comic strip? Or at least the most ill-conceived? What would possess one to put a talking bulldog into Chester Gould's world? Why all the stereotypes? Even Filmation's Tracys are better, for Pete's sake…
* Everybody in Joe Oriolo's Felix cartoons talks veeeerrry sloooooowly. As if they're trying to kill time.
* Speaking of Joe Oriolo Felixes, they're the sources of some of my earliest animation memories. But I'd forgotten, or never noticed, that Poindexter is a truly disturbing character. If anybody in 1960s animation would have gone of the deep end and committed unspeakable crimes, it would have been him.
* Not to harp on Joe Oriolo Felixes or anything, but is there even one recorded instance of anyone's sides aching from excessive laughter, or anyone's heart going pit-a-pat, while watching one of these cartoons?
* Despite the slow talking, Poindexter's creepy qualities, and the misleading theme song, someone at Voom must like Joe Oriolo Felixes–so far, they've made up not just the Felix block but also around half of the Magoo block (which I was hoping would be all obscure Columbias).
* Stuff like UPA Dick Tracys and Joe Oriolo Felixes does little or nothing to show off HDTV–but the interstitials between them (animated by Primal Screen, I think) are stunning in their clarity. By far the crispest animation I've ever seen outside a theater.
* Voom is promoting the premiere of something called MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS this Sunday. It could be a new special, but I suspect it's MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL.
* The best thing about the CLASSICS block so far by far: Tonight it included a Columbia Fox and Crow I'd never seen before–the fine and funny UNSURE RUNTS (1946), in which the Crow sells car insurance to the Fox. It was worth sitting through UPA Dick Tracys and Joe Oriolo Felixes to see it–and that's saying a lot.
