V15s for Cardwell and Graham
V15s are falling like apples in October. Dave Graham and Jon Cardwell have both cranked two of the hardest boulder problems in the world. In Las Vegas, Graham made the second ascent of Paul Robinson's Meadowlark Lemon (V15). Robinson established the problem in January of last year, linking two V13s together to create one of the country's hardest boulder problems. Graham complemented Robinson's vision, writing on Facebook, "The rig is super proud; aesthetic, tall, and blank looking, I'm always really impressed when I stand underneath it."
Back in the Colorado Front Range, Jon Cardwell made the third ascent of The Game (V15) in Boulder Canyon. Initially thought to be one of the country's first V16s, The Game was established by Daniel Woods in February of 2010, and was repeated and subsequently downgraded by Carlo Traversi. Cardwell proves to be ringing in the new year in style as this repeat is his first V15.

One of the most tragic love stories of all time, Miss Saigon is the award-winning musical based on Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly. Full of haunting ballads, this show expresses the longing of lovers past and present, separated by the ravages of war. Get your Miss Saigon tickets today to see this timeless story retold.
Miss Saigon Information
About the Show:
Miss Saigon is a beautiful and tragic musical by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil, who also teamed up to produce the smash hit Les Miserables. Their dramatic and musical talents are showcased yet again in this sweeping epic story based on the Puccini opera Madame Butterfly. Like the opera, it tells the story of an Asian woman abandoned by her American lover, but it is set in 1970s Vietnam and the original romantic pair of a Japanese geisha and American lieutenant is replaced by a Vietnamese bargirl and a U.S. Marine. Since its debuts in London and on Broadway, the show has been critically adored and wildly commercially successful, ranking among the top dozen longest running shows on Broadway with over 4000 performances on the Great White Way alone.
Miss Saigon has danced into fans' hearts with such heartfelt songs as "Last Night of the World," "I Still Believe," and "Sun and Moon." Lea Salonga, the original star, launched her career with the title role and has gone on to star in other high-profile productions such as Les Miserables as well as providing the singing voices of the Disney princesses Jasmine (Aladdin) and Fa Mulan (Mulan and Mulan II). Check out the Miss Saigon schedule to see if it is playing near you and grab your tickets today to see this gorgeous and heartbreaking love story.
Plot Synopsis:
It is April 1975, shortly before the fall of the capital city of Saigon, at a sleazy Vietnamese club called "Dreamland." Kim, a seventeen-year-old girl on her first day as a bargirl, is greeted by the Engineer, the French-Vietnamese man who owns the club, and the other working girls, who laugh at her childlike innocence. Two U.S. Marines, John and Chris, party at the club, aware that they will be leaving Vietnam very soon. John buys Chris a room with Kim and the two sleep together. When they awaken, Kim refuses Chris' money and the two pledge their love for each other. They hold a makeshift wedding ceremony when Thuy, Kim's cousin to whom she had been promised since age 13, arrives and tries to take her away. Chris promises to take her away with him when he leaves Vietnam.
Three years later, a street parade is taking place in Saigon (now called Ho Chi Minh City), celebrating the third anniversary of the defeat of the Americans and the reunification of the country. Kim, with her three-year-old son, Tam, live in an impoverished area avoiding being found by Thuy, now a commissar in the new government, and waiting for Chris to come back for them. Meanwhile, in America, Chris lives with Ellen, his new American wife, and continues to have unsettling dreams about Kim, worrying that she is in danger. When Thuy finally finds Kim and learns of Tam, he tries to kill the child, but Kim escapes with her son and the Engineer, who believes he can get a free ride to America if Chris does come back for them. Chris's tortured soul and Kim's intense longing continue to pull the pair closer together. Get your Miss Saigon tickets today to see the rest of this epic story.

A schedule is now set for another season of Jackrabbit basketball.The South Dakota State men's basketball team released its 2013-14 men's basketball schedule on Wednesday, a slate that includes eight postseason qualifiers from last year, including three NCAA Tournament teams, 13 home games and a home tournament.
"We're obviously glad to have it done, and it was difficult to put together for two reasons," head coach Scott Nagy said. " Number one, its very hard to find teams willing to play us, and two, with the loss of Oakland over the summer, it was two additional non-conference games that we had to pick up, which were not easy to get."
After a warm-up contest at home against Dakota Wesleyan on Nov. 1, the Jackrabbits open the season on Nov. 8-9 at the USD Tournament in San Diego, with a game against host San Diego on Nov. 8, and Loyola Marymount on Nov. 9.
The Jacks open the home portion of the schedule on Nov. 14, at home against Montana, one of the three 2013 NCAA Tournament teams on the schedule, the others being at Minnesota on Dec. 10 and at home against Belmont on Dec. 14.
The schedule also includes a home tournament for the Jackrabbits, part of the Legend's Classic, which also includes games at Texas Tech on Nov. 21 and at Stanford on Dec. 1. In the Brookings sub-regional of the Legend's Classic at Frost Arena, SDSU hosts Howard on Nov. 25, preceded by a game pitting Lehigh against Texas Southern. The following day, Nov. 26, the two losing teams from Nov. 25 play, followed by the two winning teams.
SDSU closes its non-conference slate on Jan. 3, 2014 at Buffalo, and then opens Summit League play on Jan. 9, at IUPUI. The league schedule includes games against three teams that qualified for postseason play in 2013, including league newcomer Denver, which won its first round game in the NIT before falling in the second round. Both Western Illinois and North Dakota State earned berths in the CBI Tournament.
"We feel like it's a very competitive schedule. We like our home schedule and there are several competitive road games," Nagy added. "I'm very thankful to assistant coach Rob Klinkefus for his hard work in getting this put together."
The season culminates with the Summit League Championships, which return to the Sioux Falls Arena for a sixth consecutive season on March 8-11.

Box 203
Augusta, IL 62311
State Fish and Wildlife Area is an area of rolling hills with a meandering
creek in western Illinois. The 772-acre State Fish & Wildlife Area,
including a 4-acre pond, is in Schuyler County 3 miles east of Augusta
north of Route 101.
Mrs. Gertrude K. Allen
presented a deed for about 500 acres of this land to the State of Illinois
in May 1968. An additional 295 acres was purchased by the Department of
Natural Resources.
The late Mrs. Allen
presented the deed for the property to Conservation Department officials
in an informal ceremony held in her home in Augusta. She had indicated
a desire for some time to do something in memory of her parents, the late
Fredrick M. and Fredricka Weinberg King and her three brothers, Jacob
Weinberg King, Harry M. King and L. Edson King. Max Weinberg, a Quincy
attorney and a cousin of Mrs. Allen, made arrangements for the land to
be given to the state in accordance with the wish of the 85-year-old benefactor.
The legislature honored this wish for a family memorial by officially
naming the area Weinberg-King State Fish & Wildlife Area.
land, estimated to be worth more than $250,000, had been owned by
the Allen family since 1905. Most of the land was not cultivated
but was maintained as a permanent pasture. The 295-acre farm purchased
from Paul Dennis was partly in cultivation and contained the 3.8-acre
farm pond. Dennis previously operated a commercial poultry products
cannery and the "turkey houses" fronting the highway were
landmarks in the area until they were removed to make way for the
new road into the Fish & Wildlife Area.
The terrain
is rolling with steep hillsides. Williams Creek picturesquely meanders
through the park for about 2 miles. The average depth of the creek
is about 3 feet. The majority of mature trees are locust and osage
orange, although pines, autumn olive, honeysuckle, oak and walnut
trees have been planted. Many wildflowers are found on the hillsides
and along the creek.
Dove, quail,
and songbirds familiar to the area may be observed. The fox squirrel
and rabbit are plentiful and a deer and turkey is frequently seen.
There are four picnic
areas with tables and park stoves. Parking lots and pit toilets are nearby.
Water is available at two drinking hydrants and playground equipment is
Horseback riders
will find 30 miles of good trail through the Fish & Wildlife
Area. Snowmobiling is allowed during the winter months.
In the equestrian area, there is a class B/E campground open to equestrian campers. The campground has 19 electrical hook-ups and pads. There is also a non-electric Class C campground available for all other non-equestrian campers.
Williams Creek
contains bluegill, bullhead, channel catfish and smallmouth bass
for bank fishermen. Three ponds are also available to fish in.
Most of the
Fish & Wildlife Area is available for upland game hunting in
season. Consult the park ranger for information concerning shooting
times and opening dates for various game. Weinberg-King Hunter

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- When Toni Babbitz of Chevy Chase was going through high-dose chemotherapy to treat her lymphoma last year, she would leave those sessions feeling completely wiped out.
Babbitz says, "You would basically go in for a day of chemotherapy, like a mix of drugs and by the next morning I felt like a turtle. Like in a shell, I was breathing very shallow."
So instead of suffering through the toxic treatment, she decided to seek an alternative form of relief. She opted for aromatherapy at the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine. She felt the aromatic effects in a matter of minutes.
Babbitz says, "By the time I left here I was breathing again. I would say that was really dramatic. I literally couldn't even drive here. I couldn't get in a car and focus to drive. By the time I left here I could've driven away, although someone brought me each time."
Patients like Toni have aromatherapy on days before and after each chemo session. Doctors choose from about fifty types of oils for each patient.
Victoria Goldsten, HD, PhD of the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine says, "It depends on the symptoms a client may be having. As an example, a cancer patient may be having nausea. For nausea, we would use a particular oil to calm tht nauseated kind of feeling. For instance, like a peppermint or lemon oil would be very good for nausea."
Once the oils touch the skin, Homeopathic Specialist Dr. Victoria Goldsten says it begins to work in multiple ways.
"When its topical use does get bsorbed into the bloodstream from the skin, and also when you inhale the oils it crosses the blood brain barrier and actually there's a therapeutic effect just from inhaling it.", says Dr. Goldsten.
Before starting a treatment like this, it is very important to first communicate with your primary doctor and your oncologist.

Bellator season-four welterweight-tournament runner-up Rick Hawn is dropping a weight class for the organization's season-six lightweight tournament.
Officials today confirmed the U.S. Olympian's plans with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
As part of the tourney entry, Hawn (11-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC) has signed a new extension with the organization, though terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Hawn, a judoka who finished ninth in the 2004 Summer Olympics, moved his MMA record to 11-0 with a split-decision victory Lyman Good earlier this year in Bellator's season-four welterweight-tourney semifinals. However, he fell short of a guaranteed title shot and suffered his first career loss when he dropped a close split decision to notable Jay Hieron in the finals.
The 5-foot-9 fighter will join another Bellator tournament, but this time he'll do so in a lighter weight class when the eight-man tourney kicks off in March.
"I felt like I was sort of undersized in the last tournament," Hawn told MMAjunkie.com. "Everyone had a height advantage on me, and while I thought I made a good run, I think lightweight is going to be a better fit for me and just give me an advantage.
"Camp will pretty much be the same for me, even though I'm cutting to 155. I'm going to work on getting quicker while keeping my core strong. (I'm) just ready for the tournament to start and make a strong run."
Hawn, who made his pro MMA debut in early 2009, also owns Bellator victories over LeVon Maynard and Jim Wallhead. A regional-show TKO win over UFC vet Shonie Carter ultimately got him signed by Bellator.
With Bellator's tourney format, the only way to claim a title or earn the right to fight for one is to win one of the organization's season-long eight-man tourneys.
For more on Bellator's upcoming season, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

Can't warm-up to these CFLs!
By Edickent
From MD, USA
About Me Electrical Engineer, Non-green trying to save
See all my reviews
Not as bright or as "warm" as the existing 65W incandescents in my 6" pot-lights. I had to pull my baffles and raise the bulb-sockets in each pot because this bulb is much-longer than standard R30 flood (see attached photo).When you turn them on, there's like a 2-second lag before the bulbs fire, almost making you think you didn't hit the switch right. Light comes on about 1/4-brightness, then takes around 2-minutes to come-up to full brightness. Light is more blue/white than yellow/red incandescent flood, with a "fog-like" haze versus the pinpoint-incandescent.That said, for my application (general lighting, in areas of my house that seem to have lights on for >14-hours a day), the power-reduction and temperature-reduction in these pot-housings is significant. Just one room has nine 6"-pots, so that's like 144Watts versus 585Watts, or 6KW/day savings! I find after just a few minutes in the room that I don't notice the difference in lighting.

There are hair conditioners for every type of hair, from thin or dry hair, to oily or frizzy hair. Oscar Blandi hair conditioners are created to smooth out frizzy hair, add volume to thin hair, and hydrate oily hair without adding that heavy thick feeling that many conditioners on the market leave behind. Oscar Blandi conditioners will leave your hair feeling smooth and silky. It will be easier to comb after it's shampooed, without leaving tangles. Ideally, Oscar Blandi conditioners are created to work with the brand's other hair care products, especially their shampoos. Both work together for the desired effect.
A celebrated name in the hair care industry, Oscar Blandi is a specialist who understands hair and knows what it needs to look and feel healthy. Many of the ingredients in his hair care products are traditional to Italy and the way Italian women care for their hair. While there are contemporary ingredients added to the conditioners, they are primarily based on old traditions. They include many natural ingredients like extracts from olives, geraniums, jasmine, lavender and grapes. Your hair will be much more manageable, simply by changing your hair conditioner.
Conditioning your hair will bring back the luster of youth, making it feel soft, light and smooth. Good conditioners actually fix the hair from the roots to the ends, regardless of length. Shampoo alone is only one step to improving your hair texture, manageability and hair health. Turn to Oscar Blandi conditioners to maximize on your hair's potential.
Oscar Blandi Balsamo di Jasmine Smoothing Conditioner is a perfect general choice for frizzy hair or hair that is otherwise difficult to control. It has the wonderful scent of jasmine. This extract along with Vitamin E, will ensure your unmanageable mop will become smoother and look better. It smooths the way to make styling easier. The smoothing conditioner should be used directly after shampooing. Once applied to the hair, simply comb it out to ensure the strands are well covered. Use mild water to rinse it and like other after-shampoo conditioners, rinse it well. This is an ideal product to use with the brand's Shampoo di Jasmine.
Oscar Blandi Pronto Wet Instant Volumizing Conditioneris formulated to add volume or thickness to your hair without leaving it feeling heavy. It's a good hydrating conditioner that leaves the strands with good body. The botanical ingredients include sweetly-scented lemon verbena, along with olive and grape extracts. After shampooing the hair, be generous when applying the volumizing conditioner. Massage it into the hair to ensure thorough distribution. Rinse well with mild water. This is another good conditioner that prepares the hair for styling if need be. These conditioners work well in conjunction with other Oscar Blandi hair care products.

I upgraded from 5.0.x some time ago to my current version(6.0.1_GA_1816.UBUNTU8_64 FOSS).
I am currently following the info at Adding ldap indices 6.0 - Zimbra :: Wiki
I am attempting to add Samba/POSIX to my zimbra install. I was able to convert my samba.schema to ldif and get it installed and get the ldap up. I had issues with the stock nis.ldif not loading, so I converted the nis.schema in that directory using the same instructions for the samba.schema => ldif.
My LDAP now starts fine.
When I issue the "ldapmodify -x -H ldapi:/// -D cn=config -W" shown in the documentation, I am immediately prompted for my ldap password. I enter it and then it just sits there, seemingly forever.
Anyone have any ideas?

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Senior Plainsmen Vinny Ross, Alex Johnston and Elliot Carlson hated watching and participating in a 23-year losing streak* to the Cambridge Trojans and avenged their pain with a 44-22 blowout win Friday night in Grant. "It's just an amazing experience. We've all been looking forward to this ever since we were freshmen because we've never beaten [Cambridge] before. It's definitely a great experience, one of the best in high school," the 6-foot-4, 270 pound lineman Ross said after the game. Carlson continued his dominance from the backfield, rushing for five touchdowns and 244 yards as Perkins County mounted a 44-7 third quarter lead. Carlson bookended the blowout with two video-game touchdown runs. He opened the game's scoring by running 75 yards untouched; only Trojans safety Kaden Huxoll even got a sniff of Carlson as he whizzed by toward the left sideline. No Cambridge defender clamped on Carlson as he ran 55 yards to roll the score to 44-7, either. The Plainsmen found that the "up-the-middle" call worked for the senior quarterback, who sliced beyond defensive back Trevor Fritz and split T.J. Gregory and Taylor Kubik with nary a scratch. The Trojans appeared ready for a street fight after marching methodically up the field to even the score at 7-7. Fullback Zane Peterson turned upfield for 24 yards after quarterback T.J. Gregory rolled right and hit him in stride in the drive's key play. Running back Jordan Volk leaped in front of Trojans wide receiver Jake Witte in the left corner of the end zone to grab a four-yard touchdown catch from Gregory 7:47 into the first quarter. Excellent Plainsmen defense, highlighted by junior cornerback Garrett Toner invading the Trojans backfield to wrestle down Zack Moore for a loss, returned Perkins County's offense to the field quickly. Perkins County's defensive backs consistently thwarted Cambridge's game plan to roll Gregory out, connect on a short pass, and allow their receivers to make defenders miss in the open field. Toner hauled down four Trojans himself, as did fellow defensive back Chase Miyamoto; Austin Thelander made three solo tackles. Junior running back Tim Johnson began chipping away at Cambridge's defense on the Plainsmen's third possession, reversing right-to-left and turning west for a 16-yard gain. Carlson then used perfect blocking from center Vinny Ross, who locked up linebacker Petersen, and guard Blake Poppe, who handcuffed Trojans tackle Krayton Banzhaf to sneak straight up the middle of the field 49 yards for a 14-7 Perkins County lead. Defensive backs Thelander and Toner escaped their blockers to kill receiver Huxoll's reverse play and force Cambridge to punt on the Trojans' fourth drive. Carlson broke two tackles and fled to the left sideline to return Petersen's punt 37 yards. The senior quarterback, who now has 888 rushing yards midway through the season, ran straight up the middle for 12 yards and then shed two tacklers for a 13-yard score and a 20-7 Plainsmen advantage. "Every time it's always the blocking–you see how hard those guys are blocking–and even before I break into the open field I know [the run] is going to be big for us. That was a big win for us, lots of momentum…" Carlson said. Spurred by the offense's success, Toner killed a Cambridge draw play and junior defensive back Matt Sestak sacked Gregory hard to force another Trojans Punt. Johnson did most of the heavy lifting on the Plainsmen's only field goal drive to run the score to 23-7 with 2:34 left in the half. He swung wide right for 21 rushing yards, sat down in the middle and spun left for a 41-yard reception, and booted a 22-yard kick between the uprights. The pass rush in high gear, the Plainsmen then forced the Trojans to surrender the ball after four downs by influencing three-consecutive Gregory incompletions. Senior Alex Johnston next showed off his second-level acceleration, sweeping left and steaming up the sideline for a 37-yard touchdown run with under a minute left in the half. "I just saw a lot of defensive guys over-pursuing, so I had to cut it back and get upfield. It feels good to be back to speed now and recovered a little bit from my hamstring [injury], and since [defenses are] keying on Elliot now, I should have some open runs," the 6-foot, 200 pound running back said. Halftime gave the Trojans no rest from the Plainsmen running game, which turned Friday into their nightmare. Returner Kaleb Vak took Cambridge's kickoff 36 yards, then Johnson cut by one tackler and outran another for a 40-yard chunk of field before Carlson brushed off four hits for an 11-yard touchdown run. The three-headed backfield of Carlson, Johnson and Johnston gained 429 ground yards. Ahead 37-7, the Plainsmen defense teed off on Cambridge's passing offense, with Sestak and Johnston blitzing Gregory and forcing early throws and harmless incompletions. The Trojans' second failed fourth-down conversion attempt allowed Carlson to run 82 yards and a touchdown, except that a penalty ruined all of that fun. Had run yardage stood, the quarterback would have broken his own single-game rushing record of 308 yards. The yellow hanky only stalled the inevitable: Carlson soon "settled" for the 55-yard touchdown run that spun the score to 44-7 with 17:18 left. Gregory rolled right and floated a pass to Petersen for a six-yard touchdown and sophomore back Fritz carried 11 yards with 20 seconds left to tidy up the Cambridge side of the scoreboard. "I figured it would be a little closer game because it's always two teams that fight tough to play each other; I didn't really expect us to come out [and win by] 30-7 at halftime," Ross said. *Perkins County and Cambridge schools have not played football against one another every year of those 23 years.Next Action The 4-0 Plainsmen remain home as Kimball drives southeast to provide the opposition.

Art in the Middle of Nowhere
For years, friends told me I should go to Burning Man. Besides not having the time or the money, a lot of what I'd heard about the week-long festival in the Nevada desert didn't sound like my thing.
But… I do like art, and there's a lot of it there. So I went this year, and I was not disappointed.
The Anti-Museum
It's not the usual art experience. You ride your bike across the playa (a dried-up lake bed) and check out various art installations, all spread hundreds of yards apart. Lots of them are interactive, so you may have to investigate or do a little work to get your aesthetic fix.
It's All About Perspective
One day I came across a variety of colored letter blocks, just like you played with as a toddler—except some of these were big enough to climb on. A few were smaller and mounted on metal poles. It all seemed random until I sat down in a chair placed in a specific spot, and beheld:
Art Cars
One of the constants of Burning Man is the presence of art cars—vehicles spiffed up in some way beyond the norm. Many are large enough to fit a DJ, sound system, and dance floor to accommodate all the folks who run up and hop on. Most that I saw were giant animals of some sort—dragons, insects, dinosaurs, snails, chickens, and cats that meow.
My favorite was Duane Flatmo's "El Pulpo Mecanico," a steampunk octopus that shoots flames from its tentacles:
Here's a video of "El Pulpo Mecanico":
"El Pulpo Mecanico" by Duane Flatmo. Video by MarkDayComedy.
The Final Rite of Passage
Nobody can deny that jets of fire are really cool, but good art usually goes beyond being merely awesome, and makes us think. Peter Hudson's masterpiece, "Charon," did that for a lot of people.
A 30-foot wooden wheel features life-size skeleton representations of the boatman Charon, who in Greek mythology ferried souls from the land of the living to that of the dead. Audience members tug back and forth on giant ropes to get the wheel spinning, and once it hits a certain speed, a strobe light turns on. Suddenly, the blur of skeletons in different poses becomes a succession of moving rowers. Oohs and aaahs are heard as minds are blown. It's hard to convey the effect on video, but this one does a decent job:
"Charon" by Peter Hudson. Video by cannatari.
The artist is using the principles of stroboscopic motion, making a kind of zoetrope, which was a motion toy that came before motion pictures. This was the best art I experienced at Burning Man, and not just because it made use of the kind of motion eye candy I really dig. It also required its audience to work in order for it to do its thing, and then it encouraged them to think about the inevitability of death, and what we can do with our time on Earth.
Maybe at some point, pieces like this will find their way to a museum, where we expect art to be. But it's worth seeking out in other environments, as a reminder that our relationship to art can be more than just as audience members, and we can make creativity a part of our daily lives.
If you'd like to learn more, there are tons of photos and videos online, as well as plenty of detailed information in this giant Burning Man Art Guide (PDF file).

Leos Carax doesn't like to make eye contact. Typically hidden behind a pair of sunglasses, the soft-spoken French director is notoriously unkind to the interview process. But Carax, who burst onto the arthouse scene with his inventive '80s cinematic wonders "Boy Meets Girl" and "Mauvais Sang," then followed them with the batty romance "Lovers on the Bridge" and the Melville adaptation "Pola X," has created enough energized cinema to prove he's got plenty to say.
The latest example is Carax's "Holy Motors," the Cannes competition feature that has been making the rounds on the festival circuit and recently landed at the New York Film Festival. Re-teaming with "Lovers on the Bridge" star Denis Lavant, Carax tells the bizarre story of a chameleonesque man who plays dozens of characters in the span of a single day -- from the creepy sewer creature Lavant originally played in Carax's contribution to the anthology film "Tokyo!" to an elderly man on his deathbed, an old beggar woman and an athletic actor covered in motion-capture diodes.
Carax's most cryptically provocative achievement, "Holy Motors" is scheduled to hit New York theaters October 17, followed by a wider release in November. While in town for the NYFF, the director sat down with Indiewire at the Soho Grand to discuss the new movie and his future ambitions.
This is your first feature in 13 years and certainly your most ambitious work. How did you expect people would receive "Holy Motors" when it first premiered at Cannes?
The film was imagined very quickly. I thought it would be really difficult, that it would be too strange for people.
Were you nervous?
No. I just thought, "There's really nothing I can do right now."
It's no secret that you aren't crazy about doing interviews and especially loathe being asked to interpret your work. But "Holy Motors" is a movie that forces people to try to understand it.
I mostly don't submit to talking about my work because I would like another talk about real life. I don't think men were meant to be interviewed.
But men have been talking about art ever since they created it.
Men talk about art, and artists make art, but should artists talk?
READ MORE: Leos Carax Has Made a Nutty Comeback With 'Holy Motors,' But Don't Expect Easy Answers
How did you get around the need to explain "Holy Motors" when you were in earlier conversations about the movie with investors and producers?
I started making films when I was young, and at the time it was a compete bluff. I had never made a movie. I had studied films but I had never been on the set of one. When I made my first film, I had hardly ever seen a camera before, and I was a young man when I arrived in Paris from the suburbs. At the time, I didn't talk much. I was very shy, so the bluff served me. I was telling people that I had no money, and that I knew how to make films, but I had no proof. I was lucky to find people who believed in me. Very few filmmakers are good at talking about their work, very few artists are good at talking about their work.
Still, it's impossible not to feel the need to interpret "Holy Motors" and get the sense that it's being fueled by big ideas. When you watch it, are there ideas that speak to you that you feel are worthy of analysis?
I spent so little time imagining the film. The whole thing took two weeks. It was a race. I didn't watch my dailies, I didn't read exactly what I was doing. I only went over it at the editing table. Although I don't make films for anybody, I do make films, therefore I do make them for someone: I make them for the dead. But then I show them to living people that I start to think about while I'm editing -- who'll watch them? So I start to get more reflexive at the editing table. Why did I imagine this science-fiction word? I did invent a genre that doesn't exist. But I don't have the real answers.

|Eagle outing taken in memory of Mabel Denbo
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Mabel Denbo had a wish to take her friends at Meet & Eat in Haxtun, Phillips County AARP Chapter 1480 and Haxtun Berean Bible Church to see the eagles over at the Eagle Viewing Station at Little Ogallala Reservoir just east below the Kingsley Dam. She loved to watch all birds and always tried to get her friends to go with her. It was always put off and there was always something else going on, and then she passed away.
Her friends felt they had been robbed of her beautiful experiences and remembered her as always being active, and they still wanted to see what she found so wonderful. So her daughter Diana set up a little outing for those fine people, and with Pastor Mark at the wheel of the bus, they went to see the eagles on Jan. 21. Twenty of her friends saw the eagles, ducks, geese, pelicans and swans. Their questions were answered by Gabe Wilson, who helps run the viewing station. This was a great outing and was enjoyed by all.
Those attending are shown from left, front row, Fran Gilliland, Judy Samuelson, Diana Craven, Myra Sherwood, Frey Secrist and Ruth and Clair Pillard; and back row, Pastor Mark Phillips, Paul Wickenkamp, Paul and Sharon Weber, Teresa Phillips, Lois Griffis, Judy Timm, Carol Scheel, Donnie Jacobs, Alvin Schumann, Beverly Townsend and Esther Hendrix.

Just thought I would ask for peoples different experiences of these technologies in combination with ZCS. I am looking to build a filter for my home network and would like to serve LUNs to all my VMs using it. I believe that it would be best to use iSCSI with a giga-network, and then use Open Filer as the appliance software.
What are your thoughts ? I know a couple of other mods are using this software so I would be very grateful for their feedback aswell.

Wells Enterprises Concludes Tax Credit Program
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors heard from Dave Smetter of Wells' Enterprises during this morning's supervisor meeting. Smetter informed the supervisors of Wells decision to conclude a tax credit program that was created to help the local dairy industry establish jobs when the corporate offices was built. Smetter informed the supervisors that the Iowa Department of Economic Development approved a program allowing Wells to secure up to $4.4 million dollars to help attract 126 potential jobs. Wells used about $983 thousand of the tax credit money to create and retain 52 jobs.
Listen to
Smetter says at the time the tax credit agreement was created it was for a ten year duration. The Wells official says with today's business climate sometimes requires fast action, and a ten-year agreement is not always viable.
Listen to
Smetter says the 52 jobs that were created under the program are good paying jobs.

Supervisors Approve Bo Deans Request
(Le Mars) -- In other action by the county board of supervisors, they gave their approval and support in the form of a resolution to the Rock Island Clean Line Electric Transmission Project. That project would involve the installation of wind power electrical generation farms within northwest Iowa, although none are to be placed within Plymouth County.

Corn Milling Accident
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Officials say one worker has been fatally injured and one hurt in an accident at a corn wet mill in Cedar Rapids.
A statement from Archer Daniels Midland Co. says the two were found unconscious at the mill around 7 a.m. Wednesday. One of the workers died at Mercy Medical Center. The other worker was being treated at another hospital.
Their names and other details about the accident have not been released. ADM says the company has contacted the workers' families.
The accident cause is being investigated.
Tax Credits Extended For Wind and Ethanol
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The bill Congress approved Tuesday night providing tax relief for most taxpayers also helps wind energy and ethanol producers by extending tax credits designed to encourage continued development.
States like Texas, the nation's leading wind energy producer, and Iowa, the leading ethanol maker, should benefit from the incentives. Many of the credits had expired in 2012.
The bill extends to the end of the year a production tax credit for wind energy on any facility under construction before the end of 2013.
The bill also extends a $1.01-per-gallon tax credit for cellulosic ethanol made from corn plants, grasses, algae, and sources other than corn kernels. The bill allows ethanol makers to
depreciate equipment for new plants placed in service in 2013 and extends biodiesel production tax incentives for two years.
Biodiesel Production On The Rise
JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) - A group that monitors the biodiesel industry in Iowa says a record has been set for production.
The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association says the state's biodiesel plants produced 184 million gallons in 2012. That's up from the previous 2011 record of 169 million gallons.
IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw says he expects more production in the new year after Congress reinstated the biodiesel tax incentive that had expired. He says that will be beneficial for
jobs, the environment and energy security.
The group, which represents the state's liquid renewable fuels industry, says soybean oil accounted for more than 70 percent of production. Animal fats came in second at 18 percent. Canola oil,
inedible corn oil, and used cooking oil made up the remaining 10 percent.
Public Hearing Set For New Voting Rules
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A hearing is scheduled for Thursday to allow the public to weigh in on a new rule that establishes procedures for removing voters from registration rolls if they
cannot prove citizenship.
The rule proposed by Secretary of State Matt Schultz is opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and other civil rights groups.
They say the rule intimidates voters and claim Schultz doesn't have the authority to pass such a rule without legislative approval.
The rule was first proposed on an emergency basis before the November election but was temporarily halted by a judge after the ACLU filed a lawsuit to block it.
The judge hasn't yet issued a final ruling but Schultz now is moving forward with a permanent rule.

18 Fashion and Makeup Mistakes That Age You
by Amanda MacMillan
Your choice of clothing and cosmetics can highlight your sense of style, compliment your best features, and keep you looking fresh and full of life. But sometimes these decisions can backfire: an ill-fitting dress that stretches and sags in all the wrong places, or a shade of makeup that accentuates fine lines and wrinkles. Women don't always update their fashion and beauty routines as they get older, says Los Angeles-based celebrity makeup artist Jan Ping, but they should; otherwise, the same products and pieces that once worked so well for them could suddenly give away their real age—or worse, make them look even older than they really are. Here are 18 common beauty blunders, and anti-aging advice from the pros on how to fix them.

Leon, Mexico (Sports Network) - Michael Putnam was 1-under par through seven
holes to remain atop the leaderboard as Friday's second round of the Mexico
Championship was suspended for the night.
Putnam was the first-round leader after shooting 64 on Thursday. He was joined
in the lead by Tyrone Van Aswegen, who fired a 65 on Friday.
Michael Connell (67) is alone in third place at minus-8, while Jeff Klauk (71)
moved into a share of fourth at 7-under 137. Klauk was joined there by Stephen
Jaeger, who was 2-under through his first two holes of round two at El Bosque
Golf Club.
The first round was finished on Friday after a lightning delay halted play on
Thursday. That led to the round being suspended due to darkness.
Round two was in the midst of a lengthy weather stoppage when play was halted
for the day on Friday.

ATLANTA -- In an unusual step, tax commissioners from Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett and DeKalb Counties held a joint press conference Monday to clarify a controversial new car tax that becomes mandatory on March 1.
Before getting your title, you'll have to shell out cash to pay a one-time title ad valorem tax.
MORE | Guide to new car tag tax
If you purchased your vehicle before March 1 (but after January 1, 2012) you can opt into the new system with a one-time set percentage payment or you can stick with the yearly ad valorem the state now charges.
But that choice will soon go away.
Starting March 1, you will pay 6.5% on the value of the vehicle. Next year it goes up to 6.7%.
Motorists new to Georgia will have to ante up the 6.5% ad valorem for every car they bring into the State.
For buyers in a private sale, the 6.5% tax will be due on the book value of the vehicle, not on what the buyer pays.
For new vehicle buyers, it won't be double billing.
The amount paid in sales tax will be deducted from the 6.5% and the buyer will just pay the difference.
For motor vehicle owners who have the choice until March 1, there is an online calculator to figure out whether it's best to stay with the current ad valorem or to opt-in the new system.
"I just have to sit with the salesman and try to figure out what the best deal is, but right now it sounds like ad valorem when you pay less every year," said Stephanie McDonnough, about to purchase a new pickup.
As March 1 rolls closer, County tax offices are gearing up with special staff training sessions and briefings.
But they are urging car owners to take a deep breath.
"Patience, patience, patience. The system we are getting will not be in effect until March 1. We will open with a new system that we have not seen live and our staff has not seen live," said Claudia Lawson, Tax Commissioner of DeKalb County.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) - Officials at the District Board of Ethics and Government Accountability say confidentiality requirements prohibit them from confirming or denying reports that it has launched a preliminary inquiry into Councilmember Vincent Orange's intervention during a health department closure of a rodent plagued warehouse.
Follow @russptacek on Twitter or Facebook for the latest on this and other WUSA9 investigations.
The director tells WUSA9 the incident would fall into the board's jurisdiction if evidence is identified that Orange's involvement was somehow intended to benefit himself.

For platforms that don't allow click throughs, see bottom of story for video of rats jumpint out at me and 20 photos from inside the warehouse.
The Washington Post reports unidentified District officials say the board has requested to meet with the city inspectors involved in the closure attempts at Sam Wang Produce.
Campaign finance records indicate the warehouse and people who list the warehouse address as their own have donated thousands of dollars to Orange Campaigns.
Ultimately, a deputy director at the health department ordered inspectors to return to the warehouse and shutter it as an "imminent health hazard."
Owners at Sam Wang, nor Councilmember Orange have responded to calls for comment.

LILBURN, Ga. -- A Lilburn police officer responded to the Family Dollar Store on Lawrenceville Highway on Monday afternoon for a shoplifting taking place.
Around 1:30, according to Police Chief Bruce Hedley, the officer arrived and confronted the shoplifting suspect. A struggle started between the two when the suspected began to fight with the officer.
The officer pulled his Taser, but the suspect took the Taser away, and tried to use it on the officer.
At that time, the officer used his gun to shoot the suspect twice, in the chest and face.
Hedley said, "The preliminary investigation shows the officer was defending his own life and his decision to use deadly force was justified. The GBI will complete a thorough and exhaustive investigation and will return their findings as soon as possible."
The shooting left the suspect in critical condition. The officer was not hurt in the incident.
Hedley said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office are investigating the case.

You can go to animation school, spend a $100,000 and not learn a damn thing about the basics of good animation drawing- OR you can buy a Preston Blair book for $8 and learn it all in a couple months. You pick.
If you learn the principles correctly, you will be able to draw in any style today. You'll be miserable having to dumb down your abilities- but you will be in demand. –John Kricfalusi
The internet offers animation students opportunities that have never existed before. The one I'm about to tell you about is the chance of a lifetime. How would you like to learn to draw for animation from one of the greatest cartoonists of the golden age, and one of the greatest current cartoonists? Here's your chance…
Read this important note from John Kricfalusi before reading any further.
Preston Blair was one of the finest draftsmen to ever work in the animated film. He animated Mickey Mouse in "Sorcerer's Apprentice", and he was one of the top animators at MGM, where he animated the legendary Red Hot Riding Hood. His book, titled simply "Animation" crystalized the basic principles of cartoon animation, and profoundly influenced a whole generation of young animators. He passed away in 1995.
John Kricfalusi revolutionized television animation- first with Ralph Bakshi on "Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures", and then on "The Ren & Stimpy Show. He went on to pioneer Flash animation with the first internet cartoon series, "The Goddamn George Liquor Program". John has done extensive research into the techniques and processes of the golden age cartoons, and he is sharing his knowledge on his blog, All Kinds Of Stuff.
To participate in this informal blog-based drawing course, you will need to get a copy of Preston Blair's Animation (Book 1). You can order it through the link above, or you should be able to find it at your local art store.
You will also need to print out the pages of the first edition of the book…
Preston Blair's Advanced Animation 1st Edition
Read John Kricfalusi's introduction to this lesson at…
Animation School Lesson 1: Construction- The Head
Then READ and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS Preston Blair gives you on these two pages…
Make an egg model and draw it from several angles using the techniques of construction.
Draw all of the various characters on these pages, paying close attention to the volumetric forms and proportions.
After you have drawn a character, compare it to Preston Blair's drawing and note any differences on yours in red pencil.
Draw it again, trying to correct your mistakes from the first time.
When you are satisfied with your drawings, post them on a blog.
Don't have a web page or blog? Get a FREE blog at www.blogger.com. Sign up for free Blogspot hosting and use the free image hosting services.
You can't participate in the classes if John K can't go to your blog to see your drawings.
PLEASE NOTE: The procedure for getting your blog listed on this page has changed. Due to the overwhelming response to this course, I don't have time to add each student's link by hand. Your assignment will be automatically linked at the bottom of this page if you…
- Click on "links to this post" at the bottom of this posting.
- Click on "create a link".
- Copy and paste the HTML code into your completed assignment for lesson number 9.
- Publish your post.
Your page will automatically be added to the list of links. Do not delete or edit your posts or change the title after you have posted them. You will need them later to chart your progress.
If you just look at the drawings and read the text, you'll end up with educated eyes and an educated mind… and ignorant hands. A lot of artists excuse their lack of skill by claiming that flat drawings and unappealing shapes are their "style". Poor drawing skills don't constitute a style.
Any artist who doesn't draw as well as Preston Blair (and that encompasses an awful lot of people!) will benefit from sitting down and doing these exercises. The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Blog is making it easy for you, bringing all the material you need together. This is a unique opportunity. Don't waste it.
As the gunfighters said in the old West… DRAW!

Offer hardworking families a chance to take their first step out of poverty. Learn more.
Many of the world's poor live in remote rural locations where access to financial services is severely restricted because of meager infrastructure. Where unpaved, pothole-ridden roads make it difficult to reach entire towns and where phone lines may never be laid, technology can dramatically change access. WOCCU is piloting technology solutions for traveling credit union agents to provide members with real-time access to their accounts in these hard-to-reach places through the USAID-funded Cooperative Development Program.
In Nicaragua, WOCCU is working with the Central de Cooperativas de Ahorrros y Credito de Nicaragua to teach credit unions to use personal digital assistant (PDA) technology accompanied by handheld printers. The new technology saves time for the credit union, eliminating data entry back at the credit union branch, and reduces the risk of error in manual record keeping during field visits. The PDA technology provides the member with a printed receipt of all real-time account transaction—savings deposits, balance inquiries and loan payments.
In Mexico, using the rural outreach methodology discussed in the paper Rural Outreach through Group Methodologies: Case Studies in Mexico, Peru and the Philippines, the PDA technology is enabling credit unions to delivery affordable financial services to marginalized rural communities. WOCCU's rural outreach methodology, Semilla Cooperativa [Cooperative Seed], employs credit union representatives astride motorcycles to deliver financial services to the country's rural poor. The program was initiated in 2003 and began using PDA devices in 2008, enabling representatives to conduct remote transactions and reconcile accounts in real time, improving both the efficiency and security of the process. According to the report, the three credit unions participating in the study saw dramatic increases in annualized growth rates and member participation.
In Brazil, WOCCU member SICREDI recently shared lessons learned about the implementation of their correspondent banking system, wherein retail (non credit union) agents utilize point-of-sale (POS) technology to provide access to credit union services in locations outside of the credit union branches. The POS technology enables the Brazilian credit unions to extend services beyond the walls and hands of the credit union staff, allowing greater access. Savings deposits have increased 25% between 2007 and 2008, total assets have increased by 50% and membership has increased by 14%.
While technology can provide vehicles to reach people in remote areas, enabling law and regulation are key components to creating an effective and thriving credit union environment in any country. Read more about credit union-specific legislation in Model Law for Credit Unions and credit union-specific regulation in the Model Regulations for Credit Unions.

I would like to know how you are adjusting your clutch operating assembly. You should have your cable adjusters slacked off, then screw in the clutch operating assy. adjuster stud till you just feel a slight resistance and then back off about 1/8-1/4 turn then lock down nut. Adjust cable at gear box front cover housing and then fine adjust on handlebar if you have an adjuster there. Make sure your cable is well lubed and is routed correctly so it doesn't bind. I would say the way it is working now it might not last long. If none of this works you may have to take your clutch apart and make sure all parts are correct. I think you mentioned in a post that you had to grind your clutch rods down a bit. I have worked on both 4 & 5 spd clutch assy.'s and never had to grind or mod a thing.

Congressional Republicans Wednesday seized on comments from former President Bill Clinton - who suggested a day earlier he could support a short term extension of all the so-called "Bush" tax rates set to expire at the end of the year.
GOP leaders said they wanted a minimum one year extension of all of the current tax cuts, and cited Clinton's remarks in order to put pressure on Democrats who favor just continuing the tax breaks for the middle class. Republicans argued that no changes should be made to tax rates at a time when the economy is still fragile.
House Speaker John Boehner said the rates should be extended "at least a year" to give employers financial certainty. Republicans have been discussing options for what kind of short term extension they would push as they work toward a broader tax reform measure next year. But it was the first time Boehner publicly stated he wanted the one year extension.
In an interview on CNBC on Tuesday, Clinton said he believed the major fight over taxes would be put off until next year due to the economic situation, and said "I don't have any problem with extending all of it now" -- referring to the tax rates. Even though Clinton made it clear in the same interview that he did not support making the Bush tax cuts permanent, which Republicans want, the GOP quickly raced to frame Clinton's comments as undercutting President Obama and Democrats' position.
The former President's spokesman later clarified that "President Clinton has said many times before, he supported extending all of the cuts in 2010 as part of the budget agreement, but does not believe the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans should be extended again."
Boehner used the clarification to tweak the former President, saying, "Even Bill Clinton came out for it, before he was against it."
GOP leaders also pointed to comments by Clinton's former Treasury Secretary, and Obama's former economic advisor, Larry Summers in an interview on MSNBC, who said "the real risk to this economy is on the side of slowdown...and that means we've got to make sure that we don't take gasoline out of the tank at the end of this year." Though Summers didn't specifically call for an extension of the tax breaks, and the examples he gave for boosting the economy involved spending, the GOP used both Democrats' comments as a way to underline their point that tax rates should stay unchanged as the economy continues to recover.
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell noted that President Obama signed on to extend some tax cuts in 2010 because he believed it was best for the struggling economy. McConnell noted, "the growth rate now is actually slower than it was in December of '10." The Republican leader echoed Boehner, saying, "it's pretty obvious that the economy needs the certainty of the extension of the current tax rates for at least a year."
Democrats said the GOP is still focused on protecting the rich at the expense of middle income taxpayers.
"President Obama's been clear about his position and it has not changed. We should not extend, and he will not extend the tax cuts, the Bush-era tax cuts, for the wealthiest two percent of the American people," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Boehner's spokesman Kevin Smith said the Speaker and other Republicans raised Clinton and Summers' comments at the weekly GOP meeting and said the Democrats' statements served to "throw gas on the fire" as the debate over how to deal with the tax rates continues in the next few weeks. The House is expected to vote next month on a measure to extend the rates, but leaders are still discussing the details. But few on Capitol Hill believe real talks on the issue will begin until after the fall election.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 50 years ago, white supremacists planted a bomb in a Birmingham, Ala., church that killed four young girls preparing to worship, an act of terror that shocked the nation and propelled Congress to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Now, two members of the U.S. House from Birmingham want to honor those victims of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor that Congress can bestow.
Democrat Terri Sewel and Republican Spencer Bachus (BAK'-uhs) announced the effort to award the medal to Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley, who were 14 when they were killed, and Denise McNair, who was 11.
They were in a group of 26 children entering the church basement on Sept. 15, 1963, when dynamite equipped with a timer detonated.
In the aftermath, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a eulogy for the "martyred children."
