We haven't removed aliens from videos since the Win7 launch. DOH! I've said to much.
I've been using a Wacom since, well, I don't want to date myself that far back.
I currently use a Bamboo (MTE450). I have to say I'm just not that into it compared to my old serial port ArtPadZ's (I have 4 or 5 of them). I really like the pens from the older ones. They fit behind my ear better, they were more pencil like and less mont blanc-ish.
My best advice would be to go with a 4"x5" pad. I always scratch my head at people who get really big Wacoms. For me it's the efficiency of motion, going from one corner of the screen to the other with a little wrist, and moving my whole arm on a Wacom would get tiring. Plus a 4x5 fits better on a desk IMHO. If you need precision, you can always use zoom in the application.
I really believe that there is no faster (or accurate) pointing device than a Wacom.
@Dr Herbie: Here are a couple things that might help you out. For bringing up the Charms, just hit Windows+C on your keyboard. You can also hit Windows+H for the share charm, Windows+I for the Settings charm, Windows+K for the devices charm, or if you're doing a search you can use Windows+F to search files, Windows+Q for search charm.
If you have any other questions, send them to email@example.com and Gov and I will find out for you.
Once we finish a live event, we have to close the publishing point to complete the event. We usually wait a period of time to do this since not everyone is watching live and we want to give them a chance to finish, usually a couple hours after event close. We typically have videos from our live events rendering and/or published within 24 hours, so it's a short window of unavailability.
For future events, I'll look into what we can do to keep the publishing point open a bit longer.
@ryanb: Top row
RG-550, currently only used as a MIDI controller.
Custom Ibanez I made myself with two 'monkey grip' handles, painted by Darren Michaels who did all the original swirl paint jobs for Ibanez/Vai. It's thin like a Parker Fly. Signed by Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Joe Dispangi. It has the elusive hand guard plate over the tremolo that Vai came up with but never really shipped due to a patent suit from Kahler.
LNG Jem 777, #103. Signed and numbered at the factory, and then signed again "To Larry - Steve" Also has a tremolo handguard on it that Steve gave me.
Bottom row:
My daughter's pink hello kitty Fender Strat mini.
Kramer ?, used only when something needs smashed.
Charvel Model 2. A poor replacement for a much-loved Charvel Model 4 that was stolen.
The posters are all signed by the G3 peeps, backstage patches and Vai's picks are in the corners.
@kettch: You are correct, sir. It's a Neuralizer prop from Men In Black 1. I like to collect movie props and guitars. The other side of the room looks like this:
@Maddus Mattus: Apparently it still hasn't paid off.
@spivonious: When I played with this at CES I found it to be one of the most innovative experiences of the year for a folding laptop form factor. Viewing web pages on it was just breathtaking, and you could bring up a keyboard by putting all your fingers on the bottom screen at once. While I have never seen one in the wild, they do appear to be available. Too bad it doesn't have a pen digitizer.

Nina Dobrev's Hair Evolution — See the Brunette Beauty's Ever-Changing Locks! (VIDEO)
How much do we love Nina Dobrev? Let us count the ways.
Not only is she wickedly talented, playing Elena Gilbert — and sometimes other characters — on The Vampire Diaries, but she is also one of our style and beauty icons. Whether she's dressed to the nines on a fancy red carpet or strutting her stuff down the streets of a big city, Nina always looks fierce. How's that? Her fabulous hair, of course!
Over the years, Nina has experimented with different hairstyles almost as often as she changes her clothes. Not only has she tried her hair straight and curly, she's also opted for a fabulous updo or braids. Most recently our homegirl decided to be brave and get a new ombre 'do — which, of course, worked out well.
Nina has had some pretty amazing looks over the past few years — though we know she was pretty limited as to what she could do to her lovely locks since she's a huge CW star. That being said, the 25-year-old has switched it up quite well and rarely misses a beat. We're officially jealous of this brunette beauty!
Check out the video above to see a timeline of Nina's ever-changing hairstyles and then hit the comments to let us know which was your favorite!

I am with somewhat similar issue as rest of my PC comrades but it is with a bit twist. The game crashes on the intro screen but it does not crash to desktop and instead the video card crashes. The rendered Skyrim logo displays for a couple of seconds before it breaks up into artifacts and freezes. My display is also unresponsive so at that point I have to restart my computer. This happens frequently if my resolution is up higher and if I am on fullscreen. This appears to be a graphics failure. The sound plays as normal but the game freezes, crashes and renders my video display unresponsive. I need your help o get this problem resolved. Below is my system specification:

Queen Elizabeth II Gives Assent to British Gay Marriage Law
by Bidita Debnath on July 18, 2013 at 11:52 PM Lifestyle News - G J E 4
After Queen Elizabeth II gave her royal assent to a bill approved by lawmakers, paving the way for the first same sex weddings in 2014, Britain legalised gay marriage.
Members of parliament cheered as they were told the historic bill had passed into law, making Britain the 15th country worldwide to legalise gay marriage.
AdvertisementPrime Minister David Cameron pushed through the bill despite fierce opposition within his Conservative party.
"This is a historic moment that will resonate in many people's lives," said Culture Minister Maria Miller, whose department was responsible for the bill.
"I am proud that we have made it happen, and I look forward to the first same sex wedding by next summer."
The delay is because the government is sorting out issues such as the impact on pensions.
Government computer systems also need to be updated to allow same-sex marriages to be registered, at an estimated cost of £2 million ($3 million, 2.3 million euros).
The bill legalises gay marriage in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own laws on the matter.
Lawmakers in parliament's lower House of Commons first voted in favour of gay marriage in February despite fierce opposition from members of Cameron's Conservative party.
The upper House of Lords formally approved the bill on Monday, and it went back to the Commons for their final nod on Tuesday night after MPs agreed to changes such as ensuring protections for transgender couples.
The queen's assent, given in her capacity as head of state, was then announced in both chambers of parliament on Wednesday, at which point it became law.
The cheers that greeted the news belied the stormy passage that the bill had through parliament.
Dozens of Conservatives opposed it in the Commons while an attempt in the Lords last month to kill off the legislation with a "wrecking amendment" failed.
The debate took a surreal turn when Tory peer Norman Tebbit claimed the bill could result in a lesbian queen giving birth to an heir by artificial insemination.
Civil partnerships for gay couples have been legal in Britain since 2005, giving them identical rights and responsibilities to straight couples in a civil marriage.
But campaigners point to differences, such as gay couples' inability to choose a religious ceremony -- and their inability to call their partnership a "marriage".
The new law bans the established Churches of England and Wales -- which are opposed to gay marriage -- from conducting ceremonies.
Other religious institutions will be able to "opt in" if they wish.
The Catholic Church in England and Wales said it opposed the new law.
"The new act breaks the existing legal links between the institution of marriage and sexual complementarity," the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales said in a statement.
"With this new legislation, marriage has now become an institution in which openness to children, and with it the responsibility on fathers and mothers to remain together to care for children born into their family unit, are no longer central. That is why we were opposed to this legislation on principle."
A poll by YouGov/Centre Ground showed that 54 percent of Britons supported the legalisation of gay marriage while 36 percent were opposed. The poll was carried out on July 2 and 3 with a sample of 1,923 people.
France became the 14th country to pass laws approving same-sex marriage in May, joining The Netherlands, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Argentina, Denmark, Uruguay, Belgium, and New Zealand.
Gay couples can marry in 13 US states, as well as in the capital Washington DC, while parts of Mexico also allow same-sex marriage and a legal ruling allows it in Brazil.

I'm not positive, but I think you can. I'm sure someone who is more certain will come along and let us both know for sure.
Yes, you certainly can. Just take them with you on to the bus and then the driver will take them off at your hotel. It does mean that you can get changed and go out as soon as you get to your hotel. We left ours at the airport and we were staying at BC so we were out walking round the Boardwalk when they were delivered

Islamist militia now guards US Embassy in Libya

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) -- An Islamist-allied militia group in control of Libya's capital now guards the U.S. Embassy and its residential compound, a commander said Sunday, as onlookers toured the abandoned homes of diplomats who fled the country more than a month ago.

 An Associated Press journalist saw holes left by small-arms and rocket fire dotting the residential compound, reminders of weeks of violence between rival militias over control of Tripoli that sparked the evacuation.

 The breach of a deserted U.S. diplomatic post - including images of men earlier swimming in the compound's algae-filled pools - likely will reinvigorate debate in the U.S. over its role in Libya, more than three years after supporting rebels who toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi. It also comes just before the two-year anniversary of the slaying of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Libya.

 A commander for the Dawn of Libya group, Moussa Abu-Zaqia, told the AP that his forces had been guarding the residential compound since last week, a day after it seized control of the capital and its international airport after weeks of fighting with a rival militia. Abu-Zaqia said the rival militia from Zintan was in the compound before his troops took it over.

 Some windows at the compound had been broken, but it appeared most of the equipment there remained untouched. The AP journalist saw treadmills, weight benches and protein bars in the compound's abandoned gym. Forks, knives and napkins set for a banquet sat on one table, while a cantina still had cornflakes, vinegar, salt and pepper sitting out.

 Some papers lay strewn on the floor, but it didn't appear that the villas in the compound had been ransacked.

 Hassan Ali, a Dawn of Libya commander, said his fighters saw "small fires and a little damage" before they chased the rival Zintan militia out of the residential compound.

 "We entered and put some of our fighters to secure this place and we preserved this place as much as we could," he said.

 Abu-Zaqia said his militia had asked cleaners to come to spruce up the grounds.

 He added that the U.S. Embassy staff "are most welcome in God's blessing, and any area that is controlled by Dawn of Libya is totally secure and there are no troubles at all."

 Another Dawn of Libya commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to speak by his leaders, told the AP that the U.S. Embassy, about a kilometer (half a mile) away, also was under guard by his militiamen.

 "We've secured the location and the assets of the embassy," he said. "We've informed our command ... immediately after entering the place following the exit of the rival militia. The place is secure and under protection."

 The commander did not elaborate and the AP journalist could not reach the embassy. The Dawn of Libya militia is not associated with the extremist militia Ansar al-Shariah, which Washington blames for the deadly assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, that killed Stevens and the three other Americans.

 A video posted online Sunday showed unarmed men playing in a pool at the compound and jumping into it from a second-story balcony. In a message on Twitter, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Deborah Jones said the video appeared to have been shot in at the embassy's residential annex, though she said she couldn't "say definitively" since she wasn't there.

 "To my knowledge & per recent photos the US Embassy Tripoli chancery & compound is now being safeguarded and has not been ransacked," she wrote on Twitter. She did not immediately respond to a request to elaborate. State Department officials in Washington also declined to immediately comment.

 Typically, local forces provide security for diplomatic posts, but Libya's government has largely relied on militias for law enforcement since Gadhafi's ouster, as its military and police forces remain weak. In the past several weeks, the security vacuum in Tripoli deepened as militia violence worsened and the diplomatic security provided by Libya's Interior Ministry in the area apparently fled as well.

 It remains unclear who the U.S. left in control of guarding its facilities after its personnel evacuated under military escort on July 26. The State Department has said embassy operations would be suspended until the security situation in Libya improved.

 Libya's militias, many of which originate from rebel forces that fought Gadhafi, have become powerful players in post-war Libya. Successive governments have put militias on their payroll in return for maintaining order, but rivalries over control and resources have led to fierce fighting among them and posed a constant challenge to the central government and a hoped-for transition to democracy.

 The militia violence began after Islamist candidates lost parliament in June elections and a renegade general began a military campaign against Islamist-allied militias in Benghazi, Libya's second-largest city. Now, Libya has two competing governments and two parliaments, deepening divisions and escalating the political struggle that's torn the country apart.

Each person with autism is different, and the impact their condition has on their life will depend on many factors. These will include the severity of their condition, any additional diagnoses, such as a learning disability or a mental health problem, and whether they display any challenging behaviours.
While some people with autism will need very little extra support, others will need more specialist, even 24 hour, help. Each person with autism is also an individual in their own right, and will have their own likes, dislikes and characteristics just like everyone else, which will also affect the kind of support they want and need.
For some parents, planning ahead for the future is key, while other families prefer to take life a day at a time. There are no rights or wrongs - the key is always working out what works for your son or daughter, to help them achieve all the things they want from life.
Our son has a development delay of around 18 months and communication difficulties, but we've been really pleased with all the progress he's made. He continues to work hard at school and is able to count to 10, identify shapes and identify letters in his name. Not bad for a child who has been labelled as having a severe learning disability!
Once your son or daughter has received a diagnosis, the next step is to think about the services and support your family will need for the future.

Emulsion Pure is an oil and alcohol free solution that offers amazing anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating properties. This formula is recommended for anyone with problem-prone skin
Doesn't seem to dry out my skin, which is great. Helps get rid of pimples faster. My only complaint is that it's really expensive!
i used this in the past and it does work real good. i can not remember why i stoped using it but i am buying more today.
I have used prescription meds for my acne for 3 months with little improvement. However, the day after I used this product I have to say I was incredibly pleased. All that is left are a few small scars (which are healing) but no more raised acne pimples! It did a great job drying out the pimples and fighting the inflammation. I would definitely recommend this product, it's well worth it. I'm impressed.
In the morning and/or evening, after cleansing and spraying on Yonka Lotion, apply the specific product to the affected area followed by appropriate moisturizer to face and neck.

A bomb blast in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south killed two top provincial officials yesterday, authorities said, blaming rebels seeking to derail peace talks.
Issara Thongthawat, deputy governor of Yala province, was killed along with the province's permanent secretary responsible for security, Chavalit Krairisk, after a roadside bomb struck their vehicle, officials said.
Issara, 56, died after being taken to hospital, army spokesman Colonel Pramote Promin said. He said the deputy governor appeared to have been targeted by militants while on his way to attend a local food fair.
"Explosive material was put inside a gas cylinder and hidden under the road," he said. "His driver is still in critical condition."
More than 5,500 people have been killed in nine years of bloodshed in Thailand's Muslim-majority south near the border with Malaysia, with shadowy insurgent groups blamed for near-daily bombings and shootings.
Security personnel and those connected with the government are regularly targeted, as well as Muslims perceived to be collaborating with the authorities.
Thailand held its first official peace talks with southern insurgents last week, with a one-day meeting with representatives of the Barisan Revolusi Nasional in Kuala Lumpur. But while talks were said to be cordial, and a further round was set for April 29, attacks have continued.
Thai National Security Council chief Paradorn Pattanatabut, who headed the government delegation, said the bomb blast would not jeopardise the talks. "Dialogue must go ahead while strict security measures must be taken to protect officials and public lives and property," he said. "This is the work of people who do not support peace talks and want the process to stall."
Little is known about the various militant groups' identities, structures or aims, and questions remain over the ability of older militant leaders to rein in attacks by younger insurgents.
This week, a Thai marine was abducted from his home and killed in what police described as a revenge attack by militants who carried out a botched raid on a military base in February in which 16 rebels were killed. His blindfolded body was found with two gunshot wounds.

I just love it! Fits perfect in a small. Good material. Great colors.

At first, the colors didn't seem to match up to the pictures because the bottom looked more green than blue. However, in pictures with the perfect lighting and everything, I fell in love with this dress all over again. I received so many compliments on it :) It's great for nice occasions! I will be ordering more. Thank you so much! Oh and about sizing, I ordered this in small, but because I have such a small figure, the dress was a little roomy. I'm gonna add a belt around the waist to make it look better. Otherwise, this dress is perfect.
Item Size: M Weight:54Kg/119.0Lbs Height:160cm/63.0in Bust:34B Waist:73cm/28.7in Hips:82cm/32.3in Overall Fit:True to Size
Nice dress. Material is thick and has a pretty texture, though it is not lined. Fits well, except a tad tight through the bust, but not uncomfortable. The red color is actually more of a pink, but looks great. I had it shipped via free shipping, which isn't as slow as some people complain (we are all just so used to Amazon Prime shipping). Nice dress for the price, and comfortable for a wedding or long event.

Randhir Kapoor says he is not interested in remaking his father Raj Kapoor's 1951 classic 'Awara' as it would be impossible to find actors of the same calibre that the film's original cast had.
'Many people came to me and my brothers (Rishi and Rajiv) and asked why don't we remake 'Awara'. I told them that it is absolutely impossible to imitate the classic 'Awara' which is loved so much till today,' Randhir told reporters at the launch of the book 'The Dialogue of Awara; Raj Kapoor's Immortal Classic'.
Written by author-documentary filmmaker Nasreen Munni Kabir, the book was released Saturday, two days before the 85th birth anniversary of legendary Raj Kapoor.
'Where will I get Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Nargisji and where will I get that innocent looking Shashi Kapoor? I would be making a fool of myself by trying to imitate the film because I won't have actors of that calibre again, even if I copy it frame by frame,' he added.
Raj Kapoor was only 27 when he made 'Awara'. Released in 1951, it became one of the most successful films in his career.
'The Dialogue of Awara...' has the original story, dialogues and screenplay along with the screen shots of the movie.
'When Nasreen Munni Kabir approached me with the idea to transform this great film into a book, I got very excited as it's one of my favourite films ever. I discussed it with my brothers and they were also very keen to bring this film in book form for today's generation to see, read and understand what 'Awara' was all about,' said Randhir.
Thanking the Kapoor family, Kabir said: 'I'm extremely thankful to the Kapoor family. Without their support this wouldn't have been possible. It's by continuously finding new ways to talk about iconic films, we can keep them alive. A book is a way of keeping record of a film in a different way.'
Rishi Kapoor was also present at the event.

Habib Koité
Recent turmoil in Mali — essentially a struggle to preserve the nation's rich multicultural heritage against Taliban-like troglodytes — continues to elicit eloquent responses from its many superb musicians. Virtuoso acoustic guitarist, singer, and songwriter Habib Koité's newly released Soô, which means "home," is a simple concept that becomes profound in Mali's current context. Singing soulfully in several languages and characteristically incorporating diverse traditional elements from throughout the country, Koité addresses the crisis by celebrating Mali's roots, sharing its pleasures, waxing poignantly about war, and pleading for harmony. His music is sublime and seductive: alluring melodies picked with Western and Malian influences, simmering rhythms from djembe and calabash, Issa Kone's surprise turns on banjo, and subtle harmonies that sigh and whisper and seem to bring it all back home.

US Special Forces Not on 'Forward Line' of Raqqa Offensive, Pentagon Claims
The Kurdistan 24 news channel released video on May 27 described as showing US special forces on the ground in Syria, appearing to wear the badges of Kurdistan's People's Protection Units (YPG). The channel claimed the US forces were among Kurdiish forces "preparing for a north Raqqa offensive."The uniforms worn by several of the men in the video tally with those seen in photos from previous Kurdish reports on US ground forces in Syria, though it is not yet confirmed if the men are American. Photos released by Agence France-Press (AFP) the previous day showed the same men, and numerous reports echoed the agency's line that US special forces fighters wearing YPG badges were joining a largely Kurdish operation to retake Raqqa, the de facto capital of the Islamic State group in Syria. The Pentagon's press secretary Peter Cook on May 26 denied that its special operation forces were positioned "on the forward line" in Syria, though admitted there was no "specific measurement" for what the forward line is. A man with a French accent is interviewed in the video, wearing a baseball cap saying "Marines" and fatigues dissimilar to the men identified as US special forces. His role is unclear.

Announcing a new book from Apress and the OakTable Network:
Oracle Insights: Tales of the Oak Table presents eleven world-renowned industry specialists proffering their own highly experienced views, input, and insights on Oracle&emdash;where it's been, where it's going, how (and how not) to use it successfully, the software and techniques that they've introduced to help people achieve their goals, and some frightening tales of what can happen when fundamental design principles are ignored.
The collaborating authors have solved many of the worst Oracle performance problems in the world, and they've each saved at least one doomed flagship project. Over many years they've been sharing their unique knowledge with each other at conferences, around the OakTable, and in coffee shops, restaurants, and bars on five continents. Now they want to share their key insights with you.
A major focus of this book concerns the ways in which you can avoid common and debilitating mistakes when building Oracle software projects. From these stories, you'll learn the simple steps that will help you avoid real pain on your next (or current) Oracle project.
The programs zipDB and m2pxsql (or the original m2) described in p.207 seem interesting. Are they available to public, or only internally (to oracle / oaktable, etc)? The article said: "For those who download it..." but I find nowhere to download it - it's not found in google, oracle.com, oaktable, oraperf.sf.net...

New London — Artists, art-lovers and revelers began to stream into the city Saturday night, drawn by the promise of Hygienic Art's annual art show, the venerable spectacle that remains the centerpiece of a host of ancillary events.
If the out-of-doors conditions were glacial, so, too, was the pace at first, a circumstance that changed soon enough.
By 8 p.m., Salon des Indépendants XXXIV — Hygienic art shows, like Super Bowls, carry Roman numerals — showed signs of fulfilling its promise, as patrons crowded into Hygienic's Bank Street gallery, where 326 pieces of art had been arranged on two floors throughout the day.
For the record, the number of entries in the non-juried show was "a little low," according to Sherry Stidfole, one of the show's organizers.
"It was actually quiet at one point this afternoon, and I don't remember that ever happening before," Stidfole said, describing the daylong dropping-off of the art. "It could be the weather."
Temperatures were heading into the teens, plunging the city in a deep freeze.
Up Union Street, though, the bands performing at The Rock Fix in the Crocker House Ballroom were heating things up amid "weird, trippy" lighting, in the words of one performer.
Rich Martin, Hygienic Art's managing director, sought a relatively quiet corner to lend some perspective.
"The goal is to expose people to all of the arts, all modes of expression," he said of the Hygienic show, which from humble origins has morphed into a two-week festival. "It used to be a one-day thing; now, since we've become a professional gallery, it's a little different.
"It's as much a good time as anything. If people are smiling, showing pictures on Facebook, then it's a success."
Over the years, the Hygienic art show had become known for the outlandishness of some of the art it displayed, but irreverence and poor taste seemed little in evidence Saturday. And then the motley fife-and-drum corps marched past the gallery, accompanied by pallbearers hoisting an empty casket and waving pink flamingo-tipped poles.
The mood was not exactly tame. And the Ice Carnival hadn't even opened yet in Hygienic Art Park.
"That was the press," Vincent Scarano, president of Hygienic Art, said, referring to the show's racy reputation. "To me, it's always been about great artists doing experimental work that you wouldn't ordinarily see around here. In the '80s, it was the days of Warhol and the emerging scene in SoHo, and then it got bigger and bigger."
How would he judge the success of this year's show, or any year's show, for that matter?
"We don't judge success," Scarano said. "We don't judge anything here."

Growing America: Demographics and Destiny
Is Sweden a False Utopia?
By Nima Sanandaji and Robert Gidehag
Sweden is often held up by American pundits and experts as a kind of Utopia, a country to be emulated. As is often the case when dealing with Utopias however, the complexities of history, culture and policy frequently are shoved aside.
Rather than being guinea pigs in a progressive experiment in social engineering, Swedes are a unique people with a long history. Therefore, we should question the lazy assumption that good Swedish outcomes (long life expectancies, social equality) are due to particular Scandinavian policies (the welfare state). read more »
California is Too Big To Fail; Therefore, It Will Fail
Back in December I wrote a piece where I stated that California was likely to default on its obligations. Let's say the state's leaders were less than pleased. California Treasurer Bill Lockyer's office asserted that I knew "nothing about California bonds, or the risk the State will default on its payments." My assessment, they asserted, "is nothing more than irresponsible fear-mongering with no basis in reality, only roots in ignorance. Since it issued its first bond, California has never, not once, defaulted on a bond payment." read more »
Can David Cameron Close the Deal?
With the Labour Government exhausted and its supporters dismayed, why isn't the Conservative Party leader David Cameron sailing home to victory?
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, all the weaknesses of the Labour Party have been painfully exposed. British Prime Ministers are elected by the House of Commons, and the Members of that Parliament by the people; so when Brown's predecessor Tony Blair resigned, his replacement as Labour Party leader became Prime Minister without a general election. read more »
Finding the Good in This Bad Time
This year's best places rankings held few great surprises. In a nation that shed nearly 6.7 million jobs since 2007, the winners were places that maintained or had limited employment declines. These places typically had high levels of government spending (including major military installation or large blocs of federal jobs) or major educational institutions. Nor was the continued importance of the energy economy surprising in a nation where a gallon of gas is still about $3 a gallon. read more »

Guns, Guts, And Geithner
Calls for more bank regulators remind me of a regulatory go-round with an erratic European bank chairman to whom I once reported. Almost eighty years old, with a failing memory and a fondness for mid-day Martinis, he once interrupted a luncheon to call his wife and ask that she send his revolver over to the bank.
At one time in his life he might have had a license to carry a firearm, but the permit had long expired. He wanted the great equalizer on this particular afternoon because the television was full of possible terror threats against financial interests, and he figured, after his second highball, that outside agitators read more »
Contemporary China's Mirror Image: Imperial Germany
China has emerged as the bad boy on the global scene, pushing around executives at Rio Tinto, attacking Google, and humiliating Barack Obama at the Copenhagen Climate Talks. Speculation is growing about China's rising power and the country's leaders are displaying a discouraging sense of hubris. There is growing fear that the autocratic Middle Kingdom will soon dominate the world.
These fears have parallels with another rising power of a century ago: Imperial Germany. Both emerged quickly on the global scene and did so with an enormous chip on their shoulders. Like China today, Germany was a little late coming to the industrial revolution, though its cultural contribution to European civilization and in turn to American civilization was enormous read more »

I am about done with my Pearl Izumi bike shoes, and they are a little narrow for my foot.
Does anyone have a good shoe that works well with wide feet? I bought these and they were suppose to stretch out a little, but not enough for me. I haven't seen any "Wide" bicycle shoes at any of the LBS' and I wear a 12 or 13 US shoe depending upon the brand. I guess I will have to look at the online shops for wider sizes.
Any help???

Django Unchained Review
Quentin Tarantino. The man is without a doubt one of the greatest filmmakers in contemporary cinema today. Ever since his debut with 1992's brilliant 'Reservoir Dogs' he has disregarded traditional filmmaking styles, reinvented the crime genre in numerous ways, created iconic film characters, and even rewrote history. However, he's never really had the chance to create the film he's always wanted to create, that is, until now.
'Django Unchained' is the film Tarantino has been working towards his entire career. Prior to this, his other films always featured hints of spaghetti western or blaxploitation, but with this Tarantino goes full speed ahead and creates the hybrid film he's always wanted to create. It should have been titled 'Tarantino Unchained'. Mixing equal amounts of his trademark hyper-violence with his witty dialogue, Tarantino conjures up the best popcorn movie of the year, as he always does.
Similar to 'Kill Bill', Tarantino brings us along for another ride of revenge, this time set a few years before the start of the Civil War. While his WWII film, 'Inglourious Basterds', was an epic, globe-trotting adventure of bloody mayhem, Tarantino narrows the scale of his newest story by keeping it set within just a few locations. The film stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave who is freed by Dr. King Schultz, a German bounty hunter, played by the always fantastic Christoph Waltz. At the beginning of his adventure, Django is only on board because he can help Dr. Schultz identify 3 men he is hunting. But, as the two begin to bond, Schultz agrees that if Django aids him during the winter, he will help him rescue his wife from the infamous plantation owner, Calvin Candie.
The film has been unfairly criticized as unrealistic in its approach to slavery. The things Tarantino shows in the film (whippings, beatings, dog attacks, and brandings, to name a few) did indeed happen in the South, and quite often as we know from reading journal entries from the past. By showing these unspeakable acts that were committed against African Americans during the era of slavery, Tarantino evokes just enough emotion out of the audience for them to want revenge just as bad as Django does. Without the brutality, the audience wouldn't be as involved in the film as we would have had he not shown it all, and we wouldn't feel the same sense of personal satisfaction that's given to us at the end of the film either.
Not only does Tarantino make sure the audience is involved in the film though, so do the actors. With every great film comes a great acting performance and in Django we don't just get one good performance, we get a total of 5 GREAT performances. Appearing in nearly every scene in the film, Jamie Foxx is stunning as Django, and his chemistry with the great Christoph Waltz is explosive. Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington both sell their parts brilliantly; Sam Jackson as the loyal servant of Candie and Washington as the loyal wife of Django. However, it's not until the half-way mark of the film that we witness its secret weapon: Leonardo DiCaprio as Calvin Candie. He commands the screen, even when he's not on it, bringing a strangely disturbing realm into the already serious environment of its settings. There's one monologue given by DiCaprio on phrenology that goes for nearly 5 minutes, and during that period of time you can just see him BECOME Calvin Candie. It's scary.
'Django Unchained' is one of Tarantino's most tame efforts, but still has his trademark style. It manages to range from being brilliant, to darkly frightening, to hilarious, to talky, to cartoonishly violent (and by that, I mean literally BUCKETS of blood being spewed everywhere in one of the film's climactic shootouts). Basically it's the essential Tarantino picture. This is the film we've all been waiting for from him, and he delivers greatly.
I give it a 9/10.
