Oh, Newt Gingrich! For four presidential cycles you have been teasing us with the idea that you are running for president. I think that two ladies have been your potential "First Lady" during that time, and dude, seriously, have you thought about that? I mean, it's going to be really hard for you to talk about the "First" Lady, right? Whatever, you probably have a PAC that's specifically dealing with that issue, so I'll let it go.
But seriously, Newt, you got really close this time, didn't you? And damned if we weren't warned about your waffling ways but nevertheless bought into the notion that you might get this 2012 campaign party started in earnest. You'd think we'd learn. (Actually, I'm pretty sure you basically count on us never to learn.)
Hey, at least you didn't get yourself all Mau-Mau'ed up like Mike Huckabee, 2012's burgeoning "post-birther" genius. And you seem to be taking getting cut from Fox News' roster of candidates in stride. Your pal Rick Santorum is wondering why Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee aren't in similar straits.
John Thune leaves the Speculatron this week, to spend more time with the United States Senate. But we welcome a new and unexpected contender in his stead. For more of the candidates you should following, and the candidates that haven't yet figured out what they're doing, please feel free to enter the Speculatron for the week of March 4, 2011.
Barbour went on the offensive against the White House this week, accusing the Obama administration of fostering policies "designed to drive up the cost of energy in the name of reducing pollution, in the name of making very expensive alternative fuels more economically competitive." One complication: Barbour was speaking precisely the way you'd expect an energy lobbyist to speak. Barbour also got tagged by Washington Post factcheckers after he spun a tale of BMW-driving "Medicaid queens": Given that you have to be rather poor to get on Medicaid in Mississippi, it seems highly unlikely the state has many Medicaid recipients driving around BMWs, even used ones. Note that Barbour said "we have people" -- suggesting this is not a rare event. The failure of Barbour's aides to provide any documentation for this claim is rather suspicious. At least Reagan's anecdote was based on a real, though poorly remembered, newspaper article. We would welcome further explanation from Barbour, but until then this qualifies as a whopper. Barbour did manage to deftly fend off the revival of a past controversy. When the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, going back over Barbour's memories of Martin Luther King coming to Yazoo City to speak in 1962, reported that that the event never happened, the campaign was able to point out that Barbour simply got the year wrong.
While Wisconsin continues to roil over Governor Scott Walker's "budget repair" bill and his unwillingness to budge on reinstating collective-bargaining rights even after the unions involved have agreed to the pension and benefits reforms Walker wanted, Mitch Daniels cut a different figure in neighboring Indiana. There, he withdrew his support for a similar bill, and immediately caught flak from his right flank. Perhaps it's not surprising then, to see Daniels start to slowly step back from making a run for the White House. It's probably just as well: Jon Stewart thinks he's too short, anyway.
GOOD LORD, NEWT GINGRICH. The former Speaker spent the entire week confusing reporters everywhere with seemingly hourly shifts in his presidential disposition. First he was jumping into the race, officially, in Georgia. Then he wasn't. Then he was "seriously considering" a bid! Then he was just going to "explore" the possibility of "exploring" forming an "exploratory committee" to do further "exploring." At long last, he launched a website. Fox News, acting much more decisively than Gingrich has proven capable of, decided that all the talk of his presidential aspirations was serious enough that they suspended his contributor contract (as well as Rick Santorum's) for the next 60 days. Gingrich's antics aren't likely to impress Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla), who, while praising Gingrich for his "vision," nevertheless averred that America needed "somebody that's soft and [eyes-wide] open and is stable and learned and is going to consistently bring us together." South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) was more blunt in her assessment: "There was a place and time for him."
Huckabee's last two weeks have primarily been defined by his attempt to offer a dog-whistle to the birther-paranoiac set that relied primarily on historical illiteracy and belief in various urban legends involving a bust of Winston Churchill. Rather than find a quiet and/or humble way to take his lumps and move on, Huckabee just kept digging and digging and digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself. Naturally, he complained bitterly that the media had dared to follow him around and cover his actions, as if he were a frontrunner for the GOP nomination or something! Sorry, Huck! You were the Charlie Sheen of politics this week! There was some good news, however, as polls showed that Huckabee was performing stronger than the rest of the presumed field in the South. But on a nuts and bolts level, the Huckabee campaign is still behind the curve. A trip to Iowa only underscored the lack of groundwork that had been done in the state to forge connections and build the sort of campaign you need to kick off a national run. Huckabee insisted, however, that he was "talking to some folks." "It may not be as obvious," said Huckabee, who insisted that Iowans would be perfectly content if the 2012 campaign got off to a "late start."
Jon Huntsman's PAC has a shiny new website of emo poetry, but his campaign remains in suspended animation as he plays out the string as President Obama's ambassador to China In the meanwhile, it's come to light that Huntsman, while in China, is being shadowed by a film crew that's making a documentary. But isn't that a violation of the Hatch Act? No, it's not: Huntsman's cinematic pursuits have been cleared by the State Department, so chill.
Palin has spent the better part of the week warblogging about all sorts of things that have been bothering her, like the recent SCOTUS decision on the Phelps freak church of bigots, Tucker Carlson's tweets, and Obama's DOMA decision. She's also been trying to explain away her fake Facebook and Twitter accounts. It's a lot of noise without much underlying gravitas. That would make for an appropriate campaign slogan, actually: "All noise, no gravitas, forever." It's no wonder that her fortunes in Iowa are waning, and that a tens of thousands of people are banding together to ignore her completely.
Tim Pawlenty continues to campaign hard for the favor of the Tea Party faithful, and to that end he's cut a new web video designed to boost his appeal. Also, in true Tea Party form, he's developed a wonderful incoherence on corporate tax policy, in which he maintains that major corporations who pay no taxes really need to have their tax rate lowered. All of these efforts to pander might get complicated if the Tea Party's Lady of the Glassy Gaze Michele Bachmann enters the race, a move that would absorb some of Pawlenty's home state support, as well. Pawlenty is technically undeclared at this time, but he promises that if he makes a big announcement, he will not use balloons. So sleep easy, helium hoarders!
Everyone take a moment to welcome Buddy Roemer to the 2012 Speculatron! Roemer is the former Louisiana governor best known for switching from the Democratic to the Republican party in 1991, only to receive fewer votes than white supremacist dandy David Duke. God, do you remember that whole chapter in our American Lives? Roemer is hoping that you remember only the best parts, and have worked out all of your complicated feelings. Oh, hello, here is some more interesting stuff from Tim Murphy at Mother Jones: As part of a very public mid-life crisis, Gov. Roemer began wearing blue jeans and adopted the slogan, "Goodbye to me, hello to we." Here we'll quote from Charlie Trueheart's 1991 Washington Post story: "[H]e and his erstwhile Roemeristas (so called because of the much-touted but since-wilted "Roemer revolution") have been reduced to mouthing the ridiculous platitudes of Robert Fulghum and other New Age shamans. Cook reports, "He packed himself and his staff off to motivational treats dubbed 'Adventures in Attitudes,' where they learned to banish negative thoughts by snapping a rubber band against their wrists while uttering 'Cancel, cancel.'" O-kay, well! I am sure that the country is ready for some of that!
Your putative front-runner has had something of a low-key week, actually! That said, the emerging intra-party criticism against Romney continues to take shape: hate for Romneycare, for spawning ObamaCare. Haley Barbour bashed RomneyCare this week, but the unkindest cut of all may have come from fellow organic hair-farmer Paul Ryan: "I just don't think the mandates work," Ryan said. "I haven't studied in depth the status of it, but I think it's beginning to death spiral, they're beginning to have to look at rationing decisions. I don't think this kind of a system works." Burn! But Mitt can take some comfort in the fact that Ryan is a very unserious policymaker. Elsewhere, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch said that he supported Romney over Jon Huntsman, to which Romney probably said, "Great! The support of a Senator in political trouble is precisely what I need right now, thanks!"
Rick Santorum's quixotic Presidential maybe-candidacy continues to spin its wheels without accruing much regard or acclaim. In fact, voters in his home state of Pennsylvania continue to be not all that into him in general, something he might have surmised from that time they didn't send him back to the Senate. On top of all that, Dan Savage, whose "Spreading Santorum" site has bedeviled the former Senator for years, and which has contributed to a Google problem that gets worse every time he mentions it, is looking to be a thorn in Santorum's side again. Santorum, along with Newt Gingrich, was suspended from his contributor contract from Fox News, this week, and frankly, I think Santorum made a pretty good point in protest: Appearing on CNN's "John King USA" the same day, Santorum said the decision to sever ties came after never being asked by anyone at Fox News about his plans for 2012. According to the network, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who both contribute to the network and are believed to be mulling presidential campaigns, have not been suspended in their roles. "I don't know why Fox differentiated, whether there's been conversations," he said. "They didn't talk to me and ask me whether I'm running or not. It wasn't something that we had a conversation about. I don't know whether other people have had conversations." Maybe there's a reason Fox isn't taking the presidential aspirations of Huckabee and Palin very seriously.
For many weeks, John Thune threatened to unleash the power of his ability to make up his mind on America, and since we last ran down your 2012 candidates, he finally came to a decision: he's out of the race. Here at the 2012 Speculatron, we bid Senator Thune farewell.
Whatever fervor there might have been to take on President Obama in a Democratic primary has all but subsided. And along with it, the "Obama comeback" narrative continues to percolate. It's not without substance. The Hill's Sam Youngman, for instance, finds that the delayed start to the GOP primary melee is only helping the President: "First and foremost, the late start by modern standards to the 2012 race has enabled Obama to focus on being president... Note the reaction when former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) criticized Obama, saying because the president is black he should have more sympathy for the civil rights of fetuses. If Santorum said that as an announced candidate, it's a safe bet that the White House would have been forced to respond. Instead, the comment was not even asked about at the next day's White House briefing." And Steve Kornacki suggests that the field of potential GOP aspirants are staying out or delaying their decision out of fear: Thus, the Republican presidential field for 2012 is now most notable for its lack of depth. No one, it seems, wants to be the first to jump in, and those who seem most interested in running have clear, significant liabilities. Meanwhile, potentially stronger prospects like Huckabee, Chris Christie and (maybe) Jeb Bush seem content to wait for 2016. Granted, what looks like a weak GOP field today could seem much different six months or a year from now, if the modest economic improvement we've seen recently stalls and unemployment begins rising again; then, even an underwhelming GOP nominee would be well positioned to beat Obama. But for now, the consensus of the political class seems to be that Obama will be reelected in 2012 -- and Republicans seem to be buying into it.
Michele Bachmann is of the opinion that she may be "in the wrong house." Still, there's no reason to believe the presidential noises she's making are anything other than an attempt to keep her profile high. For his part, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad (R) is itching for a Palin-Bachmann battle, preferably inside some sort of ethanol powered ThunderDome. Ron Paul is still undeclared, but he's recently been at odds with Hillary Clinton over foreign policy and our support for dictatorial regimes. Gary Johnson wants you to know that he's different from Ron Paul in many ways, depending on what your definition of "no" is. Fred Karger was shut out of the first Iowa debate because it is being sponsored by Ralph Reed's new Faith and Freedom Coalition, and Reed apparently doesn't want Karger tracking the gay all over the place or suggesting that LGBT citizens deserve to be treated as human beings and whatnot. Herman Cain won a straw poll at a Tea Party conclave in Arizona. His prize? A profile in The Fix! John Bolton isn't sure that economic issues are even all that important, and anyway, how can he bomb a recession into submission? Wouldn't you like a job, destroying Teheran, with joystick controlled robot-drones? He's pretty sure you'd like to get paid to do that. Finally, Rudy Giuliani went to lay the groundwork for the Israel caucus, like a lot of other, more credible candidates for President, and also George Pataki.
Chris Christie, if you recall, very explicitly stated that if he ran for president, his wife would strike him down in murderous fury, so please stop asking him! But in case you were wondering, if he wanted to run for president -- WHICH HE TOTALLY DOES NOT WANT TO DO! -- he would win it easily. He also said that he loves him some collective bargaining, so maybe ask him if he wants to be president later, like, at a time when the GOP wasn't fully invested in promoting the notion that collective bargaining is something that happens in the orgy dungeons at the Church of Satan. Rick Perry has been spending his time getting basic geography wrong and blocking reporters on Twitter. We kind of don't have sympathy for the blocked reporters. I mean, did you guys really think you could cover the Perry beat by following him on Twitter? Jim DeMint -- ALARUMS AND EXCURSIONS! -- gave a speech in Iowa...you know: the Iowa? Anyway, he hates collective bargaining.
Donald Trump became the first person in or near or adjacent to the Presidential race to contact the Speculatron (probably because he is under the impression that we are important people that need to be called) to tell us that his campaign is not being represented in any way by famed trickster Roger Stone. We appreciate him reaching out to us, and so we'll offer him some non-political advice: say something nice about Greg Giraldo at your Comedy Central Roast. All the other comics in the room will say, "Attaboy." Michael Bloomberg is not going to run for President, and will instead pay a bunch of scribes a lot of money to translate his ideas and opinions into Broderism (a.k.a. "centrist Pig Latin.") Jimmy McMillan says that he will save the GOP, by repeating the catch phrase "too damn high" over and over again. Andy Martin, the "King Of The Birthers," is apparently running for president, and will go down in 2012 lore as being the first to launch an ad in New Hampshire (the ad is about birtherism, duh.)

I have got a huge amount of wear from the silk satin slip I made last year in all this hot weather (its doubled as a great nightie) and I decided to make another slip.
I'm making view E from vogue v8888. I've not done a huge amount of work with lace before (just simple trimmings).
I have tried to match two types of lace together with my silk/cotton blend polka dot fabric. I'm not convinced it works. A couple of options. Do I a) bleach the blue lace white (I do like the circles and how they tie in with the polka dots) or b) ditch one of the laces and go with something different altogether.
photos of lace and fabric here
Edited to correct faulty link. Sorry! -- Edited on 8/2/13 2:47 AM --
Your 2nd link goes back to the Vogue site.
------Stash: 196 yds. @ 10.18.15
thanks PattyE, now updated. Must have not been paying enough attention when copying and pasting.
Hey Rmusic,
I like the round pattern of the lace but the color is difficult. It would be better if you could get laces that match the ground color of your fabric (which looks like a soft white/cream on my monitor) and each other IMO. Great fabric btw-- so playful! I bet it will make up beautifully
------Not keeping track of my stash anymore... just trying to sew it up and not buy more!!!
I like that lace too. Why not bleach a small sample and see what it looks like....cute pattern
I do not weep at the world I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.

right, I've had a redesign of existing notions and would love your thoughts about if you think it works. Please click here.
The lace is a cotton blend, and I dont know how high the cotton content is - in short it might not be all that easy to bleach or dye. Having said that, I might be tempted to do a small test with the bleach.....
Oh, that's adorable! If you're going to bleach or dye it, my vote would be to go with black. I think the contrast would be really cute.
------~Gem in the prairie
I like the fabric. I think the lace and the organza is too much IMHO. What about just using the organza in the cutouts and not doing the lace trim?
I think the circle lace would look really nice dyed to the blue in the fabric, but you'd obviously have to test. The black would be a nice contrast also.
Both the organza and the white circle lace are nice, although the organza looks a bit more dressier/elegant.
I vote for dyeing the lace black.
You are much more likely to get a good result dyeing lace darker than trying to bleach it. You can always test bleach a scrap of the lace, but nylons, rayons, polyesters can all do funny things, like turn yellow, with bleach.
Plus, the black makes a more striking contrast to the ground color of the print.

Our favorite cephalopod all dressed up in a seasoned breading and quickly flash-fried, then tossed in a sweet and spicy chile drizzle of Dutch and Indian influence.

But we found another guy, or rather, a family: The Hickeys of Woodhull, NY. It's unlikely they will quit. And we are happy. So, we hand-batter their curds and gently fry them 'til even deliciouser, then serve with some of our sweet & spicy Stillers Sauce.

A favorite of every Stillers party south of Penn Ave. Oven baked, gooey, and full o' spicy bird, served with celery sticks and pita wedges for dippin'.

From our yinzerific test kitchens deep below Ellsworth Avenue comes a combo of all things Pittsburgh: kielbasa, sauerkraut, whole grain mustard, and cheese-stuffed pierogi together in mini pretzel buns.
— Applewood Bacon "Steak'n" —
Cut from hand-selected pork belly which has been carefully trimmed and cured with an Old World-style processing technique, in Wisconsin, we hand-cut four smoked pork belly steaks with cracked peppercorn maple reduction. Now the staff is very concerned that you understand that this is bacon and don't think that this is a beef steak with bacon. You're smarter than that, aren't you?
Please call restaurant to ensure item availability. Like Nixon said, you can feed all of the people some of the time….


text: This topic comes up every now and then, shooting square on an rb or rz. A good way to do it is with polaroid (I use type 55) on a quadra back, that's what I do. You get ~7x7 images. There are some square backs that show up on ebay every great now and then, but they are exceedingly rare. If you badly want it then you might need to make yourself a mask to go on your film holder. Or just crop.

Phoenix Suns
Al McCoy: Dudley, Beasley showing improvement in new roles with Suns
The Phoenix Suns lack a marquee player on the roster, and instead have been forced to tinker with their lineup to generate offensive production.
The Suns boast an 11-18 record but an abysmal 2-11 mark away from US Airways Center. Alvin Gentry's squad will open a crucial three-game road trip Friday night in Indiana and will face a trio of difficult opponents in the Pacers, Timberwolves and Thunder over the coming days.
Suns play-by-play announcer Al McCoy told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Friday he thinks the team's young and inexperienced roster has had trouble finding confidence in a hostile environment.
"It's a young team, it's players that haven't played together until this year and of course the starting lineup just changed a couple weeks ago," McCoy said.
One player who has stepped it up as of late is Jared Dudley, who is coming off a career-high 36 point night against the Knicks Wednesday.
McCoy thinks Dudley has emerged as a team leader with the Suns, and he attributes that to the 27-year-old finding comfort in his new role.
"I think that moving Jared Dudley into the starting lineup in that small forward position, which is his natural position, has been a tremendous plus for the Suns," McCoy said.
Another positive change for Phoenix has been moving the beleaguered Michael Beasley to a bench role. McCoy is encouraged with what the Suns are getting from Beasley in that capacity.

5.0 stars 9 totalReview David Frees
Posted by Adele
I am 86 years old and i didn't know anything about making a will. I tried two lawyers and did no t feel confident of their abilities.. I asked a friend who told me that she had found attorney Frees and he so impressed her that she told her children and they also used his services and were as pleased as she was.
. I made an appointment.
He was so friendly and so knowledgeable. He guided me clearly explaining the mistakes not to make as well as the best way he knew to accomplish what I wanted..The finished product was better than I had hoped for. I recommend him highly knowing that you will be so thankful to have an honest intelligent and wise lawyer... You can have confidence in Attorney David Frees..

Back in 1998, when my husband and I came to live in Phoenixville, we immediately looked for an attorney to write our Wills. Everyone who was asked to give a recommendation gave the name of David M. Frees III because he was known to be the most trusted, knowledgeable local attorney in this field of writing Wills and guiding in Estate Planning. We found this to be the truth because he assisted us with a most complex situation with our Wills, taking into consideration all manner of inherited entities and complex financial instruments. David met us where we were, never spoke down to us and carefully intoduced us to details of the laws which we could not understand from a so called lay persons' vantage point.
When my husband became terminally ill, David knew the weight of this sorrow and helped us -- immediately met with us, as we were literally running out of time -- to establish the Trust Under Will, so complicated but so necessary. Again, David always met with us as persons, individuals, not ever just 'clients' who had no feelings or fears. David is personal and always, always the ultimate professional -- respectful, down to the littlest detail and he has the Staff who emulate his responsive, imformed way of being.
One other aspect of David's Law Practice that has been - with my most recent re-writing of my own Will - most overwhelmingly obvious is David's extensive, deep and most up-to-date knowledge of the Federal and Commonwealth Tax Laws, and Probate Laws in all States and Commonwealths! He helped me with the most complicated and 'air-tight' revision of my own Will to protect our children and their families in the Inheritance and Distribution. As an example, when David explained the Trust, he drew a diagram, took all the time I needed to understand this complex document and its layers of distribution and then, at the signing, went over every clause to be sure that I understood every nuance of these Documents, including the various Powers of Attorney.
David merits Five Stars: he and his Staff are trustworthy, responsive and knowledgeale to the 'nth degree' and keep me totally informed and up-to-date regarding all matters pertaining to my Will and Estate Planning. I recommend him to eveyone in my family and everyone in my acquaintance who is looking for the Best in the Field of Wills and Estate Planning Law.

We have worked with David for about 10 years and have been extremely pleased with his proactive approach and expertise in the field of estate planning. He works very well with our CPA and Financial Planner to ensure everyone is on the same page and nothing is missed in our planning effort. He recommends novel approaches while conveying pros and cons of each. Highly recommend him to family, friends, and co-workers.

We met with an estate attorney several years ago to update our will. It was a frustrating experience, as
the attorney was so indefinite on issues of our concern that we left with no resulution and no changes to
our will.
Then we met with David Frees. David was exactly what we needed. He answered all of our questions
with authority and asked about our lifestyle and family. He made helpful suggestions and was very
thorough. We prepared a questionnaire and had a complete will several weeks later. His fee was very
reasonable and we highly recommend David Frees.
Posted by Lucas
Our most recent appointment with David Frees, November 20,2014, reinforced our pleasure dealing with him for our will and overall estate matters. He is always happy to answer our questions and explain issues to our satisfaction. His knowledge of the law that are pertinent to our situation inspire utmost confidence in my wife and me. His staff is efficient and available to us at all times.
Posted by Richard
Mr. Frees provided outstanding service to me in the above matter. His knowledge of estate and tax law were invaluable in helping and guideing me through my decision making process. I felt confident in leaving his office knowing that I had safely provided for my children and grandchildren going forward.
Posted by DavisLawGroup
I have known Dave Frees for several years now. I can't think of anyone who is more skilled, knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworth as an estate lawyer. My husband and I are very pleased to have Dave help us manage our affairs and plan for our family's future.
Posted by a Estate Planning client
Our Trust Department has utilized David's expertise for several years to assist our clients with their overall estate plans. He delivers excellent wealth transfer solutions and is able to explain them to our clients in an easy to undertand format.
I highly recommend David Frees, III for your estate and wealth transfer needs.
Posted by a Estate Planning client
I have relied on David's legal advice to make critical decisions on handling family wealth and making appropriate decisions for my family's future.
David is an expert in the areas of wills, trusts and estates. But beyond his specific knowledge, he's an outstanding problem-solver, who helped me sort through some complex planning issues.
Additionally, he is superior to every other attorney -- in fact, every other professional -- I've ever used. He inspires trust, and works effectively to form the kind of rapport needed to get the kind of information you're typically providing to someone dealing with your will, trusts and estate planning issues.
He is thorough, and he guided me through some challenging decisions. He is so effective at discussion available solutions and weighing the pros and cons, that when I finally made decisions, I was able to put those issues to rest without the kind of second-guessing or reconsideration that can occur if you don't have expert help.
David is not just an outstanding attorney (recognized in the "Best of" issue of our regional magazine), he's an amazing human being as well. Those are difficult to find in any field.

Yes it definetly is an option to upgrade the "older" appliance to the new version, export and then import into the new appliance. The one thing you want to make sure if is that the older appliance supports v8. Typically if it a D, E or F modelyou are just fine.
A third option, which may end up being more work, but many times ends up with a better outcome is reconfiguring your policy from scratch. It will allow you to "clean up" your policy. It is also important to understand that the upgrade process has been refined a ton over the years, but you will probably end up with an "upgraded policy" that includes more rules than you had at v7. This is due to the differences between v7 and v8 and the upgrade process ensuring that the behavior of the new policy is the same as the old.
Hope this helps,

Check out this KB article for the procedure to upgrade the firewall from 7.0 to 7.0.1 and from 7.0.1 to 8.2.1 (the KB says 8.1.2; I will fix that).
How to upgrade a firewall from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 and from 7.0.1 to 8.x
My recommendation also would be to install v8 and create the new policy by scratch.

We've been tossing the solutions around and it looks like we're going to go ahead and rebuild from scratch with the two Admin Consoles side-by-side. It will take a while since there's hundreds of policies, rules, etc. but this will be a good chance to clean things up.

"This is so wonderful, this whole gathering of women," declared Meryl Streep to the stylish set of female supporters seated inside the Four Seasons Beverly Hills for Elle Magazine's annual Women in Hollywood awards on Monday night. "But I mean, you really have to admit," the beloved actress continued, "That if they had this great big meeting once a year, and they called it 'Men in Hollywood,' and they had like, 17% women there — who felt besieged and awkward — and they gave a lot of awards to the men of Hollywood, we would be pissed!"
"Oh wait," Streep continued, summoning a premature roar of applause. "They have those meetings… every day, in every city, in every country in the world!"
And so went the 22nd toast to intrepid women in entertainment — perhaps more timely than ever, given its occurrence during what host Joel McHale called "a history-making year for women in the industry. »

Failure is the name of the game here. This is an in-depth look at some of the most common reasons that heists in films go wrong.
Heists in films rarely go right. In fact, the heist gone bad is a plot device that has been used over and over for decades. It adds drama. It adds tension. It adds excitement as the crooks run from the law. Often times, that's what makes a heist movie so fun to watch, seeing how the characters get themselves out of a tight situation. A perfect heist can be interesting to watch, but doesn't really enhance or create much conflict between characters by itself. That's why heists gone wrong are much more frequent in film than heists which go off without a flaw.
There are many ways a heist can go wrong. This is an overview of some of the most common reasons, »

Director John Frankenheimer.
I'm often asked which, out of the over 600 interviews I've logged with Hollywood's finest, is my favorite. It's not a tough answer: John Frankenheimer.
We instantly clicked the day we met at his home in Benedict Canyon, and spent most of the afternoon talking in his den. A friendship of sorts developed over the years, with visits to his office for screenings of the old Kinescopes he directed for shows like "Playhouse 90" during his salad days in live television during the 1950s.
We hadn't spoken for nearly a year in mid-2002 when the phone rang. It was John, who spoke in what can only be described as a "stentorian bark," like a general. "Alex!" he exclaimed. "John Frankenheimer." He could sense something was amiss with me. It was. My screenwriting career had stalled. My marriage was progressing to divorce. I had hit bottom. John knew that »

Ron Moody as Fagin in 'Oliver!' based on Charles Dickens' 'Oliver Twist.' Ron Moody as Fagin in Dickens musical 'Oliver!': Box office and critical hit (See previous post: "Ron Moody: 'Oliver!' Actor, Academy Award Nominee Dead at 91.") Although British made, Oliver! turned out to be an elephantine release along the lines of – exclamation point or no – Gypsy, Star!, Hello Dolly!, and other Hollywood mega-musicals from the mid'-50s to the early '70s.[1] But however bloated and conventional the final result, and a cast whose best-known name was that of director Carol Reed's nephew, Oliver Reed, Oliver! found countless fans.[2] The mostly British production became a huge financial and critical success in the U.S. at a time when star-studded mega-musicals had become perilous – at times downright disastrous – ventures.[3] Upon the American release of Oliver! in Dec. 1968, frequently acerbic The »

Directed by Carol Reed
Directed by Carol Reed and presented by the legendary J. Arthur Rank, both of whom were at the height of their careers with still more great films to come, Odd Man Out is one of the pinnacle achievements in post-war British cinema. And with James Mason in the lead, a major British star at the time, the film had everything going for it: superb direction, a solid screenplay, terrific performances, and stunning cinematography by Robert Krasker. The final result was named best film of the year by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and was chosen as one of the ten best films of 1947 by the National Board of Review. Certainly, Odd Man Out was widely seen and well regarded in its time. But now, with a newly released Criterion Blu-ray of the picture, »

"Carol could put a film together like a watchmaker puts together a watch," stated director Michael Powell, himself not exactly notorious for his slapdash approach to filmmaking, speaking of fellow Brit Carol Reed. Though undoubtedly a statement of admiration, this quote also points to the still-standing difficulty in assessing Reed's work in totality: while he may have turned in three more-or-less unassailable classics, one of which, "Odd Man Out" came out on Criterion Blu Ray yesterday, there's a sense today that Reed has not got enough of a personal authorial imprint across his entire output to earn him a real spot in the auteur pantheon. In fact, his name is often unfamiliar even to those who count one or more of his films among their favorites — compare that relative retrospective anonymity with the reputations of contemporaries like Hitchcock or Wilder or Ford. Partly this probably comes down to the fact that Reed himself, »

Here are three examples: Stewart was a U.S. soldier who befriends an inmate (Peyman Moaadi) at the American Gulag, Guantanamo, in Peter Sattler's little-seen (at least in theaters) Camp X-Ray. She was one of Best Actress Oscar winner Julianne Moore's daughters in Wash Westmoreland and the recently deceased Richard Glatzer's Alzheimer's drama Still Alice.

In The Front Row, Richard Brody writes on Amos Vogel (pictured above), and the ever-influential (yet contrastive) strands of cinephilia born in Paris and New York:
"Vogel's dream of American independent filmmaking offering a significant artistic counterweight to Hollywood films has been fulfilled: independent films are now better, more original, more forward-looking than ever. The French cinephile stream exemplified by the New Wave filmmakers has won the hearts and minds of these independent filmmakers, and inspires them to this day. But the American cinephilia launched by Vogel, with its emphasis on ideological scrutiny, holds sway over many critics and viewers, perhaps more firmly than ever. That's why the gap that Vogel lamented—the one dividing the best of independent filmmaking from the critical community and the audience—is also larger than ever."

So, evolutionary theory is getting better with age? Only if your fundamentalist faith in Darwinism takes precedence over scientific facts.
A scientist who rejects Dobzhansky's maxim (nothing makes sense in biology except in the light of evolution) is a far better scientist than the one who accepts it uncritically. Natural science is based on factual evidence. Those who start with a preconceived paradigm and distort the factual evidence to support it are not pursuing science.
The Bible exhorts us to "Study to show thyself, approved." Educate yourself by reading some excellent books from evolutionary scientists on the insufficiency of evolutionary theory before accepting Steve Luckstead's religious dogma.
I suggest "Icons of Evolution" by Jonathan Wells, Ph.D. in molecular and cell biology; "Darwin's Black Box" by Michael Behe, Ph.D. in biochemistry; "Origins: A Skeptics Guide to the Creation of Life" by Robert Shapiro, Ph.D. in chemistry; and "Evolution, A Theory in Crisis" by Michael Denton, M.D.
Malcolm Muggeridge opined, "I believe evolution will be viewed as one of the greatest hoaxes of the 20th century. Posterity will marvel that so many were deluded by a theory that had so little evidence or facts to support it."
Romans I says it best: "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse ... Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator?"
What is evolution? It is an illegally tax-funded state religion that is allowed to openly proselytized in our public schools and whose disciples exert a totalitarian authority to deny any voice but their own in matters of science.
If the U-B actually had a legitimate interest in educating its readership in science, it would provide a counterpoint column to respond to the fundamentalist evolutionary religious dogma Steve Luckstead preaches in his column.

firstname.lastname@example.com 2 years, 11 months ago
One thing that nearly all scientists who don't believe in evolution have in common is a belief in Christianity. It is that faith that interferes with their acceptance of the science regarding this matter. Most people that believed the world was flat didn't change their minds they just died off. If we are patient the day will come when people will have the religiosity that will prevent them from understanding evolution.

the blond with the tank top (csoky ice) is not gay, maybe the other guys are. he has never done any gay porn.
My wife would be in to this. However, I'm not comfortable crossing swords.

Just five months after moving to San Diego, she was named a city semifinalist for the RAW Visual Artist of the Year
RAWawards San Diego Semifinals
When: 7 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Friday
Where: 4th & B, 345 B St., downtown
Tickets: $15 in advance. Must be at least 21; cocktail attire requested.
Info: rawartists.org
Michelle D. Ferrera draws soft silhouettes on wood canvas, using simple pencil to express emotion through the feminine form. The 31-year-old New Jersey native moved west two years ago in pursuit of the life she always dreamed of: that of a full-time artist. After a short five months in San Diego, Ferrera was nominated for RAW Visual Artist of the Year in our city semifinals.
RAW: Natural Born Artists is an international community of independent artists with roots in Southern California. On Friday, the local semifinalists across nine categories will show their creations to a panel of judges before a live audience in hopes of continuing on to the finals, held in January in Hollywood. More categories include Fashion Designer of the Year, Musician of the Year, Photographer of the Year and Hairstylist of the Year.
Q: Why did you begin working with wood as your canvas?
A: I began working with wood around 2007. I ran out of canvas and really need to create. After fussing around my mom's garage I found some wood and began working with collage/magazine cutouts, painting, drawing. I get bored easy and like to experiment, so after I finished the mixed-media series I started drawing simple on the wood. The more and more I worked with it, the more detailed I got.
Q: Walk us through your creative process.
A: I'm pretty simple, can work anywhere. As soon as I get in the zone I'm in it. Some of my favorite days are when I'm just prepping the wood, with Beyoncé in the background, while sanding wood, dancing around, building the frames, drilling, dancing some more, snacking in between … as long as my hands are busy I'm a happy camper!
Q: What about the San Diego lifestyle inspires your artistic sensibility?
A: San Diego's openness, air of clarity, being able to breathe so freely is what really drives my ability to create. And of course being able to walk around, people-watch, the pretty faces, different body types. Sharing stories with strangers is so inspiring and makes me love life.
Q: Who are the women in your drawings?
A: All of my work are self-portraits. I used to be a wedding photographer, so I like to play with the camera a bit, though I don't care too much how great the photo is when I take the self-portraits. Mostly it's about the emotion, how I'm feeling at the moment, the gestures, body movement. The goal is never the end result, it's the process. In the Simple Flavors series, it was celebrating newness and how good I felt!
Q: Why is RAW an important community for artists in San Diego?
A: RAW has been super helpful in so many ways for me as a community and individually. They are super informative on upcoming events, always looking for ways to get us involved with art locally. As a new San Diego resident this is so important, especially that I want to stay here, want to build some roots here.
Q: What will you be showcasing at the RAWawards?
A: I'm excited to be showcasing work from the Simple Flavors series, Alive series and of course the most recent series, Last Night I Became the Monster.

Sept. 24, 2012
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. – The Peninsula Regional Medical Center University of Maryland Eastern Shore Athletes of the Week were named today and seniors Melina Gallas (Paris, France) and Codjo Gbedo (New Carrollton, Md.) were selected as the two honorees for the week of September 24. Gbedo receives the award for the second consecutive week, while Gallas is honored for the first time.
Gallas led the women's cross country team to a fourth-place finish at the Towson Invitational this past weekend. The Paris, France native finished the race with a time of 22:16.13, which was good for 27th place overall. Her placing was the highest of the day between the two teams, as she finished five seconds faster than the closest UMES women's competitor.
For the second consecutive week, it was Gbedo that was the top performer for the men's cross country team. He finished the Towson Invitational in 30th place with a time of 30:20.51. Gbedo's effort propelled the UMES men to an eighth-place finish at the event, as he was the only male Hawk runner to finish within the top-30.

Hong Kongers take displeasure to streets
HONG KONG – Tens of thousands of Hong Kongers took to the streets in protest Monday, demanding their widely disliked Beijing-backed leader resign and pressing for promised democratic reforms so they can choose their own top representative.
The annual protest march has become increasingly popular in recent years, underscoring the growing gulf between Hong Kong and the mainland 16 years after the city ceased to be a British colony and came back under Beijing's control.
This year the protesters unleashed their anger at the performance of leader Leung Chun-ying, who has been beset by controversy since he took office a year ago. Leung was picked by a committee of mostly pro-Beijing and pro-business elites.
Beijing has pledged to let Hong Kongers pick their leader, known as the chief executive, no earlier than 2017 and the entire legislature by 2020. But residents of the city, now a special administrative region of China, are frustrated that there have been few signs of progress on drawing up an outline and some fear that it may never happen.

Remember December? You know that time you wish you had time to make food gifts to give your friends and family?
One of the many blessings of marrying Steve is the friendship his daughter, Trisha Bell, and I have formed.
Now that they live in the "big city" of Savannah, my parents are going to miss their neighbors and friends dropping off fresh vegetables at their door steps.
When you live in a small town and own a funeral home, everybody knows you.
As many of you may know, the "real" Miss Sophie is our dog.
Steve did the research and based on where we lived and our lifestyle, decided that a Shetland sheepdog would be a good match for us.
Afternoon strolls through the garden alive with the first blooms of spring. The scent of a proper Southern Sunday supper beckons all to come.
Jell-O salads are easy to make and can be made ahead. You can buy these cute little molds and make everyone their own little salad and make them feel special without much work.
Last Friday, Steve and I celebrated our 11th anniversary.
As I often do, I reminisced about our courtship. We were both older, of course, and dating was very different from younger years.
Are you ready to go wild?
Then I suggest that you join the Friends of the Coastal Gardens at 7 p.m. March 13 at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens at the Historic Bamboo Farms for its annual Wild Game and Fish Fry Dinner.
When we were cleaning out my in-laws' cottage in November, I (of course) was delegated to go through the kitchen items. In doing so, I found an old three-ring binder in which my mother-in-law had listed all the dinner and lunch parties she hosted.
Romance: Candlelight, soft music in the background and a state of euphoric bliss with the person of our dreams. At least that's what the books and movies tell us.
But then we had to grow up.

If Tuesday's public hearing on the Clarke County School District's budget for the upcoming fiscal year is any indication of what tonight's hearing - set for 6 p.m. at the school district's 240 Mitchell Bridge Road headquarters - holds in store, the Clarke County Board of Education will have at least one unmistakable mandate for the spending plan.
That mandate? Save the first-grade paraprofessionals.
Dozens of people - an impressive crowd, sadly enough, for a school district budget hearing - sent that message clearly Tuesday night, contending that the 59 paraprofessionals now staffing the district's first-grade classrooms are an indispensable part of the education team, providing instructional assistance and other help to keep students on task and classrooms running smoothly.
The crowd urged the school district administrators making Tuesday's budget presentation to find somewhere else to trim $1.5 million - the cost of salaries and benefits for the 59 paraprofessionals - from the budget. Some of the people attending Tuesday's hearing offered up some worthwhile suggestions, such as keeping the paraprofessionals as at least part-time employees, or increasing employee contributions for health insurance. At one point Tuesday, a teacher offered to take a furlough if it could help keep a paraprofessional in her classroom.
To his credit, interim Superintendent James Simms seemed to understand the desire to keep the paraprofessionals in the classroom, telling the crowd, "We don't have any choices here that are palatable to any of us. But we do have options to present to the (school) board."
Simms' apparent recognition of the need to at least somewhat rethink the paraprofessional issue marks something of a shift in district officials' approach. In an early defense of the proposal to cut the paraprofessionals, district officials made it a point to note the decision was made, in effect, by elementary school principals, who were consulted on possible budget cuts as the spending plan was being assembled.
Also, in an April 14 letter to the editor in this newspaper, the school district's communications director took pains to point out that some of the 59 positions were going to be vacant in the coming school year because of attrition, and others would be vacated by those who had not passed a state examination for paraprofessionals.
As is the case with much of what goes on in educating children, it's difficult to assess the true value of the often-intangible benefits that a caring and involved adult - as paraprofessionals can be presumed to be - brings to the process. Who, for instance, can say whether even the most informal interaction between a paraprofessional and a young student - tying a shoelace, holding a hand during a field trip or reading a story - ignited some spark in the child, some sense of his or her value in the world, and some desire to learn more about that world?
As was made clear Tuesday, and likely will be made clear again at tonight's budget hearing, this is an issue with which parents, teachers and others clearly want the Clarke County Board of Education to wrestle.
On the one hand, the first-grade paraprofessionals - whom, to its credit, the school district funds with local dollars - represent a quick and substantial, not to mention needed, cut in the budget. What's more, it's a cut that principals, for whatever reason, have indicated they could stand.
That, of course, is the "cost" aspect of the question. But there's also a "value" aspect, the issue of what a paraprofessional might bring to the school system that, over the long term, helps produce a young person well-equipped to move into the world of work or on to higher education. In either case, investment in a paraprofessional pays a considerable dividend.
The fate of the district's first-grade paraprofessionals isn't an easy issue for the Clarke County Board of Education. It is, however, an issue they should discuss openly and in some detail, so that whatever decision is made, the rationale is abundantly clear to all concerned.
