If Michael Bay has taught us anything, it's that adapting popular kids' TV shows isn't easy. Despite the fact that, if we're truly honest with ourselves, Saturday morning cartoons in the late 80's and early 90's were nothing more than ploys to sell merchandise, Bay is crucified for "ruining" Transformers. While it seems no one remembers 2012's "miss"-hap Battleship, a vastly greater travesty than any of the Transformers films, Bay is now looked upon as being the destroyer of childhoods – an odd label since Transformers not only maintained a lot of its original fan base, but gained a new generation of fans as well.
So, it's truly no surprise that, when Bay announced he was producing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, arguably a more beloved TV series than Transformers, the fan outcry was great. Just minutes after the announcement, fans across the globe launched a thousand tirades against the film without even seeing the movie first. Well, after actually seeing the movie, being a fan of the TV show and comics for over 20 years, I can honestly say the film exceeded my expectations – and my expectations were extremely high!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, despite what you may glean from internet fanboy chatter, not only maintains the joy, humor, action, and wonder from the old TV show, but takes things to the next level. With deeper character development than the show didn't dare go into, surprisingly awesome performances from the "human" actors, and a script that surpasses any movie that came before it, Turtles is every bit the movie the fans have been asking for.
New York City finds itself in a crime wave unlike anything before it, thanks to the new criminal presence known as The Foot Clan. Ranging from industrial theft to hostage situation, The Foot Clan seemingly cannot be stopped. Intrepid reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) seems to be the only one who wants to get to the bottom of how to stop them, but keeps finding dead ends along the way. That is, until she stumbles upon a vigilante group dedicated to stopping The Foot Clan at every turn now...a group of six-foot-tall adolescent talking turtles – who happen to also wield weapons and know martial arts – calling themselves Leonardo (voiced by Johnny Knoxville), Raphael (Alan Ritchson), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), and Donatello (Jeremy Howard). As April, with her twitchy and over-confident cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), begins to piece together the turtles' past, a mysterious link begins to emerge with billionaire industrialist Eric Sacks (William Fichtner) with her own – a link that unravels a plot that endangers the entire city of New York.
As Bay opted to only produce the film, the directing fell upon the shoulders of Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans). If it still feels like a Bay movie, you're not wrong. Liebesman's directorial effort here seems to mimic Bay's style all the way to the minimal lens flares and occasional shaky cam. However, what makes the difference here is the script provided by Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol scribes Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec, as well as contributions from Divergent screenwriter Evan Daugherty. Unlike the typical action script, which often has several names attached to it, the writers for Turtles, like the titular characters themselves, contribute something unique to the team effort. Applebaum and Nemec's experience with action couldn't be clearer in the detailed, gripping sequences here, while Daugherty allows the story to be far more character-driven than any previous film featuring the Heroes in a Half-Shell.
While any new fan to the series and films could easily become immersed here, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, in many ways, seems like a love letter to the long-time fans. Despite altering the origin of Leo, Don, Raph, Mikey and Splinter (voiced wonderfully by Tony Shalhoub) ever so slightly, every character is here in all their glory, and exactly how you would want them in a modern setting. Leo is the born leader and commander. Raph is the hotheaded, short-fused rebel. Mikey is the fun-loving goof-off. Don is the quick-thinking strategist and tech expert. Splinter is the loving father figure and disciplinarian, but also a trickster at heart. Each of these iconic five characters has their strengths and flaws lovingly displayed in full brilliance, allowing them each to have their moments of triumph and vulnerability – something that was truly missing, even from 2007's severely underrated TMNT.
So why only four stars then? Well, I don't have the option to give it four-and-a-half stars. The only thing that keeps this being a five-star film is a simple pacing issue. While the film is, for the most part, exactly what you would think it should be, it tries to jumble too many different emotions into one scene at times. When the mood goes from comedic to dramatic to tense, and then back to comedic in one sequence, it does become a little overwhelming at times. This could have simply been remedied by elongating the runtime by just a few minutes. If Guardians of the Galaxy can run for nearly two-and-half hours, Turtles certainly could have gone a little longer than 101 minutes.
FINAL VERDICT: Don't believe the negative hype, folks. Whether you're a long-time fan of the TV shows and comics, or if you're a newcomer to the Heroes in a Halfshell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the movie for you. Capturing all the humor and action of the source material, while delving deeper into the characters than ever seen before on screen (as well as giving a role to Megan Fox where she's not just sex appeal), Turtles is every bit the fun romp you were hoping it is. And yes, there is a joke in here somewhere about "Go, Ninja! Go, Ninja! Go!", but I'll leave you to find it.

Jenny Parks, the creative mind behind "Doctor Mew" is back with a new collection of illustrations featuring a cast of felines dressed up as members of The Avengers! My favorite out of the bunch has to be Cat Hulk. It just makes sense! RIGHT?! You can follow Jenny Parks' amazing work on Jenny Parks Illustration!
Remember that crazy "Star Wars Filibuster" by Patton Oswald on Parks and Recreation? Well, as incredibly epic as that was, it's even BETTER animated thanks to Issac Moore! I said this before and I'll say it again. I would still pay to watch Oswald's vision for Star Wars: Episode VII.
HUZZZZAAAAAHHHHHH!!! The world was shocked when it was announced that Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be canceled after next season. Well, now there is something to rejoice as Dave Filoni has announced that a new series is currently in development called, Star Wars Rebels! Star Wars Rebel will premiere in 2014 as an one hour special on Disney Channel and then move into DisneyXD as a regular series.
The series is described as set in the time between Episode III and Episode IV. The "Rebels" are in uprising as they take on the newly founded, Galactic Empire. The thing that really got me excited has to be the description of the new animated style of the series. They will go away from the unique look of the Clone Wars and move to a style that is a nod to the original Star Wars concept art done by Ralph McQuarrie. That is very exciting. There is always word that some characters that were loved in The Clone Wars may make their way to Rebels like Ashoka Tano. Hopefully, Rebels will reveal the faith of some of our favorite characters post-Order 66.
Simon Kinberg and Greg Weisman joins Dave Filoni as executive producers. Star Wars Rebels drops in 2014.
Ahhh… now THIS is pretty cool. Rhett & Link wrote and directed this very whimsical short musical staring little middle school student singing about the world of Star Trek. My favorite part of the video has to be all the cool props and sets. The only thing that confused me was probably not being able to tell if Spock was a boy or a girl. Damn that hair!
Am I a sucker for everything and anything related to Disney? Yes. Yes I am. This probably explains why I was floored when I saw digital artist, Kathryn Hudson's (AKA spicysteweddemon) amazing collection of "Disney Prom" illustrations. The thing I really appreciate about this set is that Kathryn put together an brilliant set of illustrations of iconic Disney characters with her own stylized twist. It's also a big plus that she gave much love to lesser popular Disney animated features like Atlantis: The Lost Empire, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Tarzan. From the look of Eric, I hope Ariel is packin' some pepper spray. Keep up the amazing work Kathryn!
If you want the world to take notice of your skills as a digital artist, this just might be the way to do it. Xander David-Hugh AKA Neon Visual, an "undiscovered UK AFX artist" put together this amazing fan-made video of the iconic TARDIS opening for Doctor Who. If you follow me on Twitter, you will know my dislike for the newest version of the opening and as a fan of Doctor Who and digital art, I can't help, but want to help spread the word about Xander's video so that Steven Moffat and BBC takes notice of this guy's amazing work.

Word of the Week: Yeta
Yeta is bad luck or a jinx.
It's an adjective used to describe someone who attracts only bad luck or accidents. The origin of the word comes from a very old Argentine comic character, named Yetatore, who was an old man causing all sorts of chaos around him (a little bit like Mr. Magoo).
The World Cup revealed to us all a real big YETA superstar: Mick Jagger.
He went to the stadium to support England, and his team lost 4-1 against Germany. Then he went to cheer for the US team playing against Ghana: They lost to the Africans, 2-1.
Then, he went to watch Brasil-Holland, when the Euopreans kicked out Brasil 2-1 out of the WK. Guess who Mick was supporting?
And finally, Jagger sat down and go ready to enjoy a great match. He got his Coca Cola and snacks and sat next to Leo DiCaprio in a nice Cape Town stadium. The match: Argentina-Germany. No need to say who was Mick cheering for…
Please Mick Jagger, you are a big YETA person and we want you all away from the stadiums when Argentina is playing. But don't get us wrong, we still love your music!!

This is a sneak preview of the Mode Machines SID synthesizer.
Specs and pricing are to come.
Check it out and let us know what you think of the SID synth!
Oh you little tease!
Love it.
Fuckin awesome Maschine !
To me, the Mode Machines SID is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, I love chiptune sounds and especially the fact that they will use 6581 chips (at least for the first few batches). Pure C64 goodness.
On the other hand, the announced price of ca. 600€ is just too high. You can get an used Commodore 64 from eBay, buy a MSSIAH cartridge and you will spend about 200€. Something between 300-400€ would have been far more appropriate in my point of view.
Nostalgic values aside, the architecture of the C64's sound chip is not that sophisticated that it would justify such a high price.
Or you can buy Plogue Chipsounds for less than 100.
does this thing not look like its chassis was modeled from a 303?
maybe its just me
the sequencers style keyboard
@plasma: It is indeed modeled after the 303. Mode machines' most famous product is the x0xb0x – a tb303 clone, the most acurate sounding one available or so they say. So this SID thing is modelled after that.
Just one SID for 800 bucks? Eww…
I've seen this machine 10 years ago on Youtube. or rather another one nased on the 64 with no keyboard but a lot of controllers….sp whats the news in this… so….

Prevention measures to protect life and property are in effect through Oct. 15 on 12.9 million acres of Department of Natural Resources-protected lands
April 11, 2013 | Vol. 116 -- No. 51
OLYMPIA – Regardless of the wet, rainy spring, wildfire season officially begins April 15, as specified by state law.
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is reminding people that the risk of wildfires can change rapidly during the spring when warmer, dryer weather occurs with increasing frequency. Wildfires can damage natural resources, destroy homes, and threaten the safety of the public and the firefighters who protect forests and communities.
As of April 8, 17 forest fires have already been reported this year on lands protected by DNR. During last year, a total...

I'm trying to find out total memory used by all PHP processes on my CentOS server. After some

ps -e | grep php | awk '{print $1}' | xargs pmap | grep total | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/K//' | awk '{SUM += $1} END {print SUM/1024}'
Now, theoretically this should be working, as I took the total ram output in K, summed it then divided and that's my MB's. Problem is that's returning
That's 12GB! There is no way they are using 12GB as the server only has 4GB.
EDIT: According to the manpage of

There is a column in this view called Dirty. Is this the right column? When I awk out on the Dirty column I get:
That would make more sense to me. But I don't know if the Dirty column is the right one or not.

As Liberal High School begins preparations for the
2012-2013 school year, Youth Entrepreneurs (YE) is proud to announce that aspiring
entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experiences through YE's yearlong
business education program.
"It is very exciting for us to further expand the YE curriculum into additional schools, including
Liberal ," said Kylie Stupka, executive director of Youth Entrepreneurs. "This
program brings high school students the significant benefit of lifelong learning. It gives them the
skills necessary to succeed in business and in life."
Currently, the Youth Entrepreneurs program is available to high school juniors and seniors in 30
high schools throughout Kansas and Missouri. YE students write business plans, participate in
classroom competitions, and work with community business leaders to enhance their business
skills for future endeavors, including entrepreneurship and higher education. The goal of the
curriculum is to stimulate economic thinking skills, encourage intelligent risk-taking, provide
practical business expertise, and instill independence and personal responsibility.
Each year an annual survey of students, teachers, parents and volunteers proves the YE
curriculum teaches the skills and fundamentals necessary to succeed in the business world. The
2011-2012 annual survey report showed 91 percent of the students surveyed reported plans to
attend a university, college, or vocational school and 66 percent reported a change in attitudes
and values because of their experiences with YE. One of the greatest demonstrations of success
for the YE program was the number of businesses started by students. This past school year,
teachers listed 116 students who started a business or will start one in the next two years.
Community support is especially important to the program. YE is currently recruiting volunteer
Business Plan Advisors (BPAs) to mentor students in the classroom. BPAs use their business
knowledge to inform and challenge YE students to think outside of their normal environment and
be more competitive and reality based. Potential volunteers can contact Kylie Boyd, Southwest
Kansas Region Manager, at (620) 640-7147 for more information.
"This is a great time for Youth Entrepreneurs as we continue to expand our footprint and
curriculum offering," said Stupka. "We're looking forward to working with the business
communities in Liberal as we educate the next generation of business leaders."

College Hockey:Colgate Forces Game Three
Raiders Break Tie In Third To Even Series
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Clarkson's unbeaten streak over ECAC Hockey foes came to an end on Saturday night as Colgate outdueled the Golden Knights in Game 2 of the league's quarterfinal series, winning 4-3 before a crowd of 2,465 at Cheel Arena. The Raiders, who ended Clarkson's home unbeaten streak at 23 games (18-0-5), will face-off against the conference regular season champions in the deciding Game 3 of the series on Sunday at 7:00 p.m.
Ranked 7th in the nation, Clarkson, which won Game 1 on Friday, 1-0, owns a 21-11-4 overall record. The 8th seed in the ECAC Hockey playoffs, Colgate improves to 17-16-6.
Sophomore David McIntyre scored the Raiders' last two goals to snap a six game winless stretch (0-2-4) against the Knights. Clarkson battled back three times from one-goal deficits to force a tie, but McIntyre put Colgate ahead for good with his 13th goal of the season just 1:58 into the third period, finishing off a 2-on-1 rush with freshman Brian Day.
After combining for just three goals in their first three meetings this season, Clarkson and Colgate put up two each in the first period on Saturday night.
Shut out by Clarkson's senior goaltender David Leggio over the past 112 minutes entering the game, the Raiders wasted little time in solving last season's Ken Dryden Award winner, scoring on their first shot just 4:18 into the opening frame. Junior Tom Riley took a soft pass through the crease by Day and slid a shot along the ice past Leggio for his ninth goal of the season.
Just over four minutes later, senior Nick Dodge evened the score seconds after a Clarkson power play ended. Stationed at the side of the net, the Knights' captain knocked in his 12th goal of the year, finishing off assists from sophomore Matt Beca and senior Steve Zalewski at 8:25.
Less than a minute later, Colgate's leading scorer, senior Tyler Burton took three whacks at the puck in close, but Leggio stoned the attempts to keep the score at 1-1.
The Raiders kept up the pressure, forced a turnover in the Clarkson end and took a 2-1 lead at 14:12 when senior Ethan Cox converted on a shot from the slot after taking a pass from the wing by classmate Dustin Gillanders.
With less than four minutes remaining in the period, Clarkson tied it again with senior David Cayer's ninth goal of the season at 16:17. Dodge set up the goal after he collected his own rebound off a shot in close and slid a pass back into the slot from the end boards. Freshman Brandon DeFazio also assisted.
The teams continued their offensive flurry in the middle frame with each putting their third goal on the scoreboard.
Colgate jumped ahead 3-2 at 9:44 as McIntyre converted off a pass from Day, lifting a shot underneath the crossbar. Clarkson, however, came back once again to tie it.
Zalewski, ECAC Hockey's leading goal scorer, tallied his 21st of the season at 12:06, finishing on a pass from behind the net from Beca to make it 3-3 through 40 minutes. Junior defenseman Tyrell Mason started the play with a long pass out of the Knights' zone.
Colgate out shot Clarkson 27-24. Leggio finished with 23 saves, including 12 in the second period. Senior Mark Dekanich posted 21 saves, seven in each period, for the Raiders.
Clarkson was 0-of-1 on the power play while Colgate went scoreless in its two man-advantage opportunities.

Well, the announcement came a bit sooner than previously reported, but the news is good: Destin Hood (#12) and Sammy Solis (#13) joined the ranks of the players anointed by Baseball America in the year-end prospect rankings by league.
Like last year, this is a bit of a surprise. That's because I felt like Solis would be passed over because he only made 10 starts and turned 23 during the season, not to mention the high HR rate. Something to keep in mind before complaining about, say, Jeff Kobernus's omission even if the Potomac 2B had a substandard rates for both OBP and SLG.
As before, the highlights from the scouting reports…
Hood's bat has come a long ways since he was drafted, but he still has to prove he can catch up to hard fastballs and quality breaking balls. His raw strength should translate into average power, especially now that he has improved his plate discipline. His plus speed plays well on the bases and in right field, where he shows a solid arm.
If, by "solid" BA means accurate, then yes. If, by "solid" BA means strong, then no. I like Destin Hood, but he's a left fielder playing right field. Regular readers know that I've said that all season long.
As a lefty who mixes a 90-93 mph fastball with an average slider and changeup, Solis has the stuff to stick in a big league[sic] rotation. His stuff plays up because he has good feel for pitching. He throws strikes, works both sides of the plate and gets plenty of groundouts thanks to good sink on his fastball.
Solis had his moments where he could get lit when he left his pitches up, which is something he needs to work on. I saw at both Low-A and High-A and AA hitters will make him pay even worse than he did this season. Like Kobernus, the injury history is going to dog him until he puts in a full season as a professional. Otherwise, this report is a decent assessment of the southpaw.
7 Responses to "Two P-Nats Named To BA's Top 20 Carolina League Prospects"
So, I would assume Eurys lack of walks kept him off the list(as it should be). Im not ready to give up on Perez, but he will get dominated in the higher levels if he cant walk. Kobernus was good, put does have the "stuff" to make it on this list, with the stats he had. Good rankings by BA for this group IMO
IMO, Eury became one-dimentional this season; All he showed was speed. Hopefully, he can bring a little more next year, as he'll be pushed by Taylor, Burns, & Goodwin from below.
Kobernus finally had a healthy season, which can only help to re-establish him as a prospect. He showed much more on-base speed & base stealing acumen w/Potomac than I previously thought he had. Given his size, he probably needs to develop a little more gap power to continue moving up the chain.
Congrats to Solis and Hood as they deserved to be on the list. I also thought that Perez and Kobernus should have been included. They both had a ton of steals, very solid batting averages and good defensive numbers. I noted Solis had a 3.26 ERA in July, a 2.37 in August and a 0.77 in September. It will be interesting to see how he does in the AZ Fall League. Also, I heard today that PNat Zach Walters was named to the AFL today.
Wasnt expecting that on Walters, he was at A most of the year. The org must see something they really like in him. Congrats to Mr. Walters
Didnt know that Menhart was the PC for Scottsdale.

Is Seeing Believing or Is Believing Seeing? The Concept of Wealth
Is Seeing Believing or Is Believing Seeing? The Concept of Wealth
There was a great sale at Macy's online. I have chosen some items that I was looking for, placed them in my basket and was going to get them later, knowing that the sale ended at midnight that night. My total was one third of what I would have to pay otherwise. Needless to say, one thing led to another and I did not get these items in time. I got back to my basket next morning just to find out that two of the items were not available anymore and the other two had a price tag higher than all of my shopping cart the day before. As a consolation prize – I still had money in my pocket.
Question is whether is seeing believing or is believing seeing? What is the Concept Of Wealth?
As I am trying to learn lessons from all the events in my life, I decided to digested the concept of wealth this time.
We, people, the occupants of earth, want to make a lot of money. But money is not or should never be the goal. It should only get us to the possession of things we want and to the free time we will have to do what we love to do. That is not however, how majority of us are thinking. We think about money as a lump sum stashed somewhere for the so called rainy days. One day I overheard a conversation between a mom and her young child. She was explaining something about saving for difficult times, financial hardship, sickness, all together, for the famous rainy days. The child thought for a moment and then he asked – "and how do you know which one is the right rainy day to start using that money?"
See, neither money nor wealth is not a moment, it is an ongoing movement and circulation, when the circulation stops, the flow of money stops, wealth stops. You can experience that phenomenon in your own life and in the life of a nation, or that of the world.
One may say, there are a lot of obstacles on the way to wealth, but the truth is, we are the only obstacles really. It is our way of thinking or feeling about money that may create the concept of wealth. It is our belief which most of us developed over the childhood and brought it into adult years.
Let's face it, wealthy people who understand the concept of wealth have certain characteristics, which others don't have. But that can be changed. Everything starts with listening to your heart and to the teachings of successful people. Don't listen to masses, if their philosophy would be true, there would be no poverty. How can someone who barely makes the ends meet advice you on what is appropriate in regards to money and wealth?
The next big thing is to take action when opportunity presents itself. Opportunity is not a big tornado, shaking the basis of the house of life. Opportunity is a soft whisper into your heart. Follow your heart. Look at the successful and wealthy people. They had personal dramas, professional misfortunes, all kinds of tragedies. But in the chaos of adversity they also heard that whisper which led them to the next level. The tragedies helped them to gain the right mindset.
Now It Is Time For Some Facts On The Concept Of Wealth
It is a known fact, that gaining understanding of the concept of wealth before gaining the wealthy mindset ends in tragedies, in losing the opportunity for ever. Let's look at the people who win lotteries. According to statistics, 75% of lottery winners go broke within 5 years. Why? It is because they don't have a wealthy person's mindset.
People who are wealthy understand the concept of wealth and do what they love to do, the fortune follows their activities. People who look for "becoming rich quickly" seek the wealth outside of them, as if it would not be part of them. Wealth exists inside of us. First find your heart, listen to it, find your passion and then wealth will follow. Believing is seeing. If you believe you can, you can. If you believe you can't – you can't. It's as simple as that.
So, back to my experience about the concept of wealth: should I have taken action when the sale was on, I would have gotten what I needed and wanted, I would have saved money, and I could have dedicated the left over money to other things I wished for. Money would have been in motion. By not taking action, I lost on all fronts, and the money in my pocket lost the initial buying power. Do not do it. Take action. Learn to hear your heart.
Be am amazed with the concept of wealth and the value of experience that comes from a simple heart to heart conversation. Yes, when the words are missing, hearts talk.
Breathe in the magnificence of life and breathe out the passion for love so others can be poisoned with it. And read, read, read.

Good news.
Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Okay so I got the news I was hoping for yesterday- a clean checkup from my dermatologist. Whew! Let me explain. Almost two years ago I went to my PCP for my regular checkup and she noticed some "concerning spots" and sent me to a dermatologist. They checked them out, did biopsies on the areas and found that it was skin cancer- on my chest, on my right shoulder and on my right arm. Yuck! So I went back for some surgery and was told that I was cancer free. Since that time I have had to go back for checkups at first every three months and then 6months and with yesterday's clean checkup- I have "graduated" to the checkups only once a year now instead. Whoo-hoo! I hate going because I am always uneasy that they are going to give me the bad news again like they did that horrible day almost two years ago but I go because I know it's important. Many things have changed since that wake up call almost two years ago... I wear sunscreen EVERY day (hey- at least it should keep the wrinkles away, right?), I cancelled my membership to the tanning bed, I still go out in the sun but I am much more aware of how long, what I am wearing and wearing sunscreen. Sometimes people comment from time to time about how pale I look (I think the red hair emphasizes it to a degree as well) and I want to tell them to put a sock in it but they don't know the story behind why so why waste my energy. I just smile and say, "I know." Anyway- now I look at the scars on my body as a way of reminding me to take every day as the gift it truly is. Some days it can be easy to forget that but most days I hold it close to my heart. So here is to a clean checkup, here is to another day, here is to what the future holds! Cheers!

Anna Brannen married Zack Alexander at the Highlands United Methodist Church in Highlands, NC on June 2, 2007. Friends and family came from all over to celebrate Anna and Zach's union, to dance and tell stories and to eat delicious food and drink good wine. We had a wonderful cool, rainy weekend together. A large contingent came from Warren Wilson and are included in this photographic record of impressions of the weekend. See the first 15 pages in PDF version here. See all of the photographs at Flickr.com (search for billybaba and look in the Warren Wilson College collection).
I grew up in India where my parents were Presbyterian agricultural missionaries and have taught at Warren Wilson College most of my life. My photographs are of north India and Sri Lanka where I have traveled many times; of Germany, which is my wife, Kathe's, home; and of the Swannanoa Valley and Asheville, North Carolina and of students and staff at Warren Wilson College, in Swannanoa just outside Asheville. Lately I have also been photographing weddings at Hidden River Events.

No Bonus Materials??????????????,
This review is from: Home Alone & Home Alone 2 [Import] (DVD)
Dont get me wrong. This is a great movie, and the second one is great too. But these transfers to DVD's are complete rip offs! Where are the bonus features?????
They may come with trailers, full screen, and subtitles.... but I was very disapointed when these came out on DVD and had nothing else included on them. And I know the stuff exsists! I remember very clearly watching a behind the scenes featurette on home alone, and home alone 2 when they where about to be released. I remember Daniles talkin about how he was the guy in charge of whats funny, and i remember them talking about how it wasnt filmed at christmas and they had fake snow, and fake pigeons ect.... WHERE ARE THOSE FEATURES?????
To a person who dosent care about bonus features. Then go ahead and buy these great movies. But for someone like me who does want things like that, espesicly for such a huge comedy smash hit like these 2 movies, youd expect more wouldnt you? Even Audio comentary would be nice? Why is this blockbuster sucses treated so poorly on the DVD release? ITS NOT EVEN IN SURROUND SOUND!!!!!!!!!! (5.1)
I hope they release a better special edition of these films with features worth buying, to replace the old VHS copys most of us have. Untill then, keep your videos, the dvd's arnt worth getting yet

In the world of music, there are some artists whose influence outshines their commercial appeal. And two acts are living proof that.
Television may have not been experienced the same popularity as other acts such as Patti Smith, Blondie or the Talking Heads, and they were originally together for a short time, they have been considered highly influential, especially in recent years. Formed in 1973, the roots are traced to the friendship of Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine. They soon began performing at CBGB in 1974, and soon develop a cult following over the years. And then came Marquee Moon.
Released in February 1977, the album was a success in the U.K., but a poor seller in the U.S. Yet the acclaim was enormous. The album has been cited as one of the greatest albums of all time, as well cornerstones for alternative rock. Another album Adventure followed in 1978, but the band broke up soon after, but reformed twice in recent years and have toured and recorded since.
Another influential band in alternative rock was Violent Femmes. Formed in 1980 and featuring members Gordon Gano (vocals), Brian Ritchie (bass) and Victor DeLorenzo (percussion), they released their self-titled debut in April 1983. While the album was not a chart success upon its release, but it featured two of the band's signature tunes "Blister in the Sun" and "Gone Daddy Gone". The album would make a unique feat, by going platinum eight years after its release.
After 1984's Hallowed Ground, Violent Femmes hit the charts for the first time in 1986 with the album, The Blind Leading the Naked, which featured a cover of T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution, It was followed in 1989 with 3. In the 1990s, they scored another signature tune with the song "Breakin' Up". Despite the lack of commercial success, Violent Femmes's music has made its way into various avenues, including several films like 1994's The Crow. The band continued on until 2009, and reformed in 2013 to play the Coachella Music Festival, and they continued to perform to this day.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Television, eligible since 2002. Violent Femmes, eligible since 2008.

I have two verbs in a sentence. I know I have to use 'to' before each verb. But in this case it sounds a little bit strange to me.
Should I use to there?
Test that this method returns right data and to works correctly.
I have two verbs in a sentence. I know I have to use 'to' before each verb. But in this case it sounds a little bit strange to me.
Should I use to there?
Your sentence is grammatically incorrect as given. Without to and with an extra the, it is correct:
(The is needed with right data since right implies that there is only one acceptable set of data.)
I'm not sure why you would expect that to to be there.
In addition to the excellent answers already given, I wanted to make a pitch for using parallel structure. It has helped me figure out some otherwise tricky sentence constructions. In general, you want your verbs to match when they are associated using an and or an or. In your sentence:
the verbs that you want to match are "returns" and "works", because they are joined by the and. This would give you two alternatives:
Now since "returns" and "works" goes with "this method", the infinitive doesn't work here, so we're left with:
(@PLL is right about adding the "the" as well.)
As an example of how you might structure the sentence to use parallel infinitives, consider:
In this construction, "to see" and "to check" are coordinated with the and, so they should match. Matching with infinitives is less strict, though, because it is okay to drop the extra to:
Although personally, I think it is less clear this way.
This crib sheet has some other examples of parallelism, including other parts of speech.
Without really knowing what your example sentence is supposed to mean... I can tell you that "to works" is incorrect. It's either "to work" or "works".
You don't need the 'to' necessarily, but the sentence has errors beyond the 'to'.

We are very pleased with Stokes Granite. Sarah Michelle was always very nice and warm on the phone. I called her so many times to ask questions and I really appreciate the friendly customer service. She is a great voice for the company. Mike also answered all of my questions and informed me of how to take care of my granite once it was installed. His templating was spot on! Abe did a beautiful job cutting our granite. David, Jared, Josh, & Mike are a great team. They are all so hard working and they work very well together. Sarah Stokes helped us a lot by meeting us out at the granite suppliers and assisting us with the final selection of granite slabs. I really appreciated how all the installers would make sure I was 100% satisfied with the install. We are very pleased with the finished product, our granite looks beautiful!
I am extremely pleased with the process and the attention to detail that Stokes Granite provides. Sarah was great to work with and Abe and Mark were exceptional with their layout recommendation of granite seams. I am very pleased with my new kitchen counters.
How lucky I am to have Stokes for the fabricators of my granite installations. From the beginning to end all of you made the process not only comprehensible but enjoyable. Thank you to both Sarahs, Tanya, Mike, Mark, Abe and all who were involved in this project!
Through the whole process everyone was professional and courteous. Even our plumber was complimenting the work that Stokes Granite did with cutting the plywood correctly for the faucet installation. A neighbor of ours recommended Stokes to us and I will also recommend Stokes to others.

|View More Posts Ignore
Doctors "officially" diagnosed me to have:
1. Depression (Severe, Major)
2. Borderline (High Level of Function)
3. Bipolar (II)
I became very frustrated with the diagnose, so I did some more research and did psych self-tests on myself and found that I have similar traits of:
- Depression
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Panic Disorder
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- Schema-Focused Relationship problems
- Anger
- Emotion Dysregulation
- Extreme Suspicion of others
- Schizoid Personality Disorder
- Antisocial Personality Disorder
- Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
- Avoidant Personality Disorder
- Bipolar Disorder
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Delusional Disorder
- Depression (Severe)
- Histrionic Personality Disorder
- Intermittent Explosive Disorder
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Oppositional Deficient Disorder
- Panic Disorder
- Paranoid Personality Disorder
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)
- Schizoaffective Disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Schizotypal Personality Disorder
I really wish I had one disorder so I don't have to deal with so many that I actually have here above listed.
Baby to Toddler: Due to birth mom's claim that birth Dad (died when I was 10 yr) abused me when I was a baby, (I have no memory of it) Birth mom (stlll alive) rejected me twice at age 3 and age 25. Suffered pain of rejection from birth mom and suffered no identity. Raised in a good, nice adopted family who knew nothing about my dark short past. Maternal Grandfather was abusive. When I was 2 yr old I witnessed birth parents' BIG fight and I got scared, ran away, threw up, and passed out.
Child – Teen: Age 12, began to recognize real psych problems such as major nervous breakdowns, taken out of school because of my psych problems. Adopted family NEVER took me to psych, why why why didn't they!!? Damn! I wish they took me to psych when I was a kid!
Young Adult – Present: Married, and experienced several trips to Mental Hospitals, Doctors cannot figure out what is wrong with me…so I became obsessed with my several disorders and began to question and search into my past how they came from. Currently under professional help.

hi. wow, there r alot of different disorders. good luck w/ ur current doctor. let u know how it goes.
maybe some of the problems didn't stem from you past, but are just part of your brain chemistry. that's why i think that therapy and medicine is the best combination.
|View More Posts Ignore
good thinking elena----you have to keep both options open------therapy and medicine. which means at least you consider both.

You cant have a depression and bipolar diagnosis at the sametime. Have u looked this up in the DSM?

I am so sorry you are going through this. I, too, have been in hospital many times and doctors can't read a person's thoughts or brain so they just stamp whatever possible diagnosis they can.
Learn from your own body and the symptoms you have and continue to do research. Hang in there.

I hope things get easier! I encourage you not to self-diagnose... everyone has traits of tons of disorders, but that doesn't mean you have all of them. We simply can't diagnose ourselves with everything that sort of matches us - it isn't healthy, and it becomes incredibly time consuming if you obsess over the right diagnoses. I had to learn to let the professionals diagnose me.
I've had many a hospital stay as well, and I have multiple diagnoses... hang in there!

I think you need to stop trying to self-diagnose. Most people on this planet would qualify for multiple disorders... too many people trying to label too many personality traits.
This is what drug companies want. Let's make a name for everything 'wrong' with people, so we can market a pill for it.
Stick with the therapy, and I'd also suggest regular exercise, meditating, healthy diet and sleep regime.
Are you currently on any medications, and do they work for you?

Hi, Christy! You really have a lot going on, and I'm sorry you've had to go through so much in your journey to heal. One thing really struck me about the combinations of symptoms you've listed. Have you considered seeing a neurologist or a neuropsychologist? It kinda sounds to me like what you're grappling with is a nasty combination of genetic and developmental issues. I'm wondering if bringing a good neuro-specialist on to your team might not be highly advisable, given all of your symptoms? Feel better, my friend. Remember to be kind and gentle with yourself.

That is precisely why you should not use the internet to self diagnose.
You will find that a lot of mental issues have the same symptoms and behaviours but its not always about the end product, sometimes its about how you get there.
If you take those online tests on a comparitive good day, you will get different results.

Wow!! Thank you, Everyone, for your replies!
Hopefully I will find my true and real one soon. I will keep you updated! I am trying to find a better doctor who can really pay attention closely to my condition because I am not happy with other doctors who did not really pay attention to me. I am also with a therapist who just began seeing me recently, I will keep you updated!

Totally agree with Obeylix. The Internet is a great source of information but can also scare the hell of you. I would think it highly unlikely that you have ALL of those diagnoses. Just my opinion though.

5 Bra Accessories To Make Life Easier
- Published by
- Posted on
- Leave your thoughts
If you have ever worn a bra, you've likely had a few mishaps. That's just the nature of apparel that targets a party of the body that is different for every woman. No pair of breasts are exactly the same.
We all have our own special set of issues when it comes to bra fit. The more and more I talk about bras with friends and female co-workers, the more troubleshooting stories I hear. While it would be ideal to have a bra designed for every outfit, it's not highly likely that most of us will accomplish that. So here's some fixes:
See-Through Bra Strap Converter: Made of clear polyurethane, these bra strap converters are nearly invisible.
Troubleshooting Solution: Pulls together the straps of your favorite traditional bra to wear with razorback or cut-away shoulder shirts.
Fashion Tape: Double-sided tape that adheres safely for bra-to-garment wear.
Troubleshooting Solution: Fashion tape is perfect for keeping a strapless dress or shirt in place. Good-bye, frustrating slips!
Racer Back Clips: Similar to converters, these bra clips pull your straps in back to wear with your racerback tops.
Troubleshooting Solution: When constantly fiddling with your bra straps is not an option, clips will do the trick. Bonus: bra clips will give an extra lift to your front cleavage.
Shoulder cushions: Here is where soft silicone saves the day. Bra straps slide right into the shoulder cushions.
Troubleshooting Solution: Preventing painful strap indentations are one of the great benefits of these bra accessories. Also, the cushions help keep straps from slipping.
Bra Back Extenders: These bra extenders connect to your rear-fasteners and come in different sizes to match up with how many rows of hooks your bra has. And they come in different colors.
Troubleshooting Solution: Great for pregnant women whose breast size keeps changing faster than they can get to the store or for any woman whose size fluctuates.
Do you have any favorite bra accessories? Any success stories with one we've mentioned here?

The newest facility at Brandon Wilde is in training mode for now, but soon it will become a haven.
Officials from University Health Care Systems Friday morning cut the ribbon to open The Windsor House, a new 25-suite assisted-living facility that will specialize in the care of residents with Alzheimer's and dementia.
"We're so proud of the strategic studies, the construction and most of all the support from this community in building a haven for those facing memory disorders," said Laurie Ott, president of the University Health Foundation.
Harlem officials are looking for new police chief for the fourth time in as many years after Harlem Police Department Chief David Sward resigned Thursday.
City Manager Jason Rizner said Sward submitted his resignation letter at a weekly meeting Thursday morning without giving much reason for his resignation.
"He hadn't given any indication previously that he was going to do that," Rizner said. "It wasn't a situation where any one thing that was indicated that precipitated (it). We just didn't get into any reasons there."
In a business world that stereotypically focuses on men, the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday will celebrate women in the workplace.
The annual Successful Superwoman's Brunch, held each year in conjunction with Administrative Professionals Day, is set for noon Wednesday, April 24, preceded by an hour-long business expo and networking session at the Legends Club in Augusta.
More than 100 Grovetown Elementary School pupils have a new title.
"They are authors now," Principal Scott Weinand said of the 101 fourth- and fifth-graders who attended the Author's Tea at the school Tuesday.
As part of the third annual optional creative writing project, the pupils spent two months writing and designing their own books through a free online program.
The tea was the unveiling of the finished hardback books to the pupils and their parents.
With a purchase of three parcels of land Tuesday, one of Columbia County's most-hated intersections is a little closer to being fixed.
Commissioners approved spending $178,410 for three pieces of property along Lewiston Road to allow installation of a traffic signal at William Few Parkway.
Close to the Grovetown exit of Interstate 20 and on the route to Grovetown High School, the intersection causes routine backups during rush hour as motorists are stuck waiting to make turns.
The Evans Lions Club will hold its sixth annual Jim Metts Memorial Car Show from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Admission to the event is free, with a $25 registration fee for show entries.
This will be the show's first year at the Evans park, said Cathy Rhodes, a Lions Club member and co-chairwoman of the event with her husband, Mike.
"The venue was so wonderful," she said. "(The club members) wanted to try it there because it's a bigger area, plus they have the stage and we've got a live band.
The Columbia County's Rhythm and Blooms plant swap and sale set for Friday, April 19, at the Columbia County Amphitheater in Evans, has been cancelled because of the threat of bad weather for the outdoor event.
Organizers have not yet said if the event will be rescheduled.
For Columbia County event information, go to www.columbiacountyga.gov.
Just because they don't seek the spotlight doesn't mean Columbia County School System safety officers aren't protecting pupils.
They prefer to operate under the radar and don't want to draw a lot of attention, said Lance Poss, the director of the Department of School Safety.
"Safety is the word," Poss said. "Obviously, their primary concern is the students' (safety) first."
The following accounts were taken from reports from the Columbia County Sheriff's office:
Couple duped in Masters badge purchase
A Canadian couple told deputies Saturday that they purchased a travel package they believed included Masters Tournament badges, but never receved the tickets.
Jenny Baldowski is mom to more than just her two sons.
Her involvement with Scouting programs, wounded warriors and Special Olympics were cited as just a few of the reasons Baldowski was honored Thursday as the 2012 Harlem Woman's Club Citizen of the Year.
Baldowski, a graduate of North Augusta High School and USC Aiken, was joined by her adult sons Neal and Phillip at the presentation and expressed surprise and gratitude for the recognition.

Hello friends, please I have the following issues to resolve now:
1. Manual PR and Project PR are created.
2. PO are created on PR
3. Quantity added in project builder
4. MRP run for additional quantity
5. While MRP run, system should deduct generated ordered or released PR qty from total and planned orders should be raised for difference qty
6. But planned orders are created for total planned quantity
7. Same thing is also checked for other material and error is not showing for other material
8. Same thing is also tried for same material in quality server and the same error is there in quality also.
How do I resolve this problem?
2. We have created one PR for 10 item and with reference to this PR, I have made one PO for 5 qty. Message 076 is activated as an Error.
now, when we refer same PR for making PO for balance 5 qty, it is not allowing with the message that PR Qty Order in Full.
So, We want to keep 076 message activated,allowing my end user to create a new PO based on the earlier PR for remaining qty and also restricting my end user to reuse the same PR for making duplicate PO.
How can we achieve it?
In Tcode MM02 go to MRP2 tab in procurement type chose F if you want to create Purchase requisitions and Purchase orders.
If this is specifically maintained for the Projects then in MRP4 tab Individual/coll. should be set to 1.
hope is helps.
Please delete the material from project if possible and reassign.
Later run MD51.
You will get the PR's for sure..
Why you are creating planned orders?? if PR can be created after MRP run.
If you are referring to only material PR, then 06 076 is sufficient for your setting.
Thanks Vikas, but I need to make it clearer:
Let me give you more explanation about the issues.
Issue 1.
1. Even though that i am having 5 QTY is open in PR (for material), system is not allowing me to create PO against that PR giving me an error message 076, as it is activated.
2. Also for service, as the item having unit as AU if part services are already ordered for a PR having services under the item, system does not allow to order the remaining services in separated PO later giving the Error msg 076, as it is activated.
3. Even if, in a case that 076 is not activated as an error but "W", the system gives all the services to be ordered again in the successive PO without deducting the services already places under earlier PO referring to the same PR.
4. In case if we activate 076 msg as "W", should not the system restrict the user to make PO of QTY more than that in PR, referring to the same PR.?
5. How to restrict it?
Issue 2.
1. Planning Dept make Plan in PS system. say, 10 QTY of Cement.
2. Based, on this MRP run, and based on this, PR or PO is generated.
3. now, planning dept change the qty to 15.
4. Again when MRP run, in the case where the above said PO is closed ( material received and order closed) new planned orders are raised for 15 qty by system.
In the case where the above said PO is open ( material receipt is pending) new planned orders are raised for 5 qty..
5. this issue comes after 1st April as in PRD, fin. year is changed where as in DEV and QTY still we are working in old period, In both the cases mentioned above in point 4, the planed orders created are for qty 5 only in QA and DEV Server.
6. What can be the reason of different behavior of MRP run results in Prdn and QA client, configuration being same.
I need more light. Anyone with idea?
Patrick Imhen
for multiple service PO from PR go to config external service management>Source Determination and Default Values. for client Source check mark the box reduction of P R commitment values.
your original PR is for 10, if you have consumed only 8 in a PO, is it possible to create another PO for 2?
Please can you throw more light on this?
Patrick Imhen
Dear Patrick,
You may check if message 06400 can help you. Set 06076 and 06400 as "E" and re-test.
ian Wong Loke Foong
Please can you throw more light on this?

Let $x$ be a non zeo (column) vector in $\mathbb{R}^n$. What is the necessary and sufficient condition for the matrix $A = I-2xx^t$ to be orthogonal?

You're right that for $A$ to be orthogonal, you need $AA^T = I$. You may have made a mistake in your derivation. You should get $$AA^T = (I - 2xx^T)(I - 2xx^T) = I - 4xx^T + 4xx^Txx^T = I - 4(1 - x^Tx)(xx^T).$$ In the last step, we use the fact that $x^Tx$ is a scalar and so can be pulled out of the middle of $xx^Txx^T$. So now, for $AA^T$ to equal $I$, either of the two parenthesized terms on the right should be zero. What does this tell you about the vector $x$?

ITA National Team Indoor Live Stats/Video
The closest part of Saturday's match happened in doubles, where the Bruins narrowly edged the Women of Troy to take a 1-0 lead into singles action. After both teams traded wins at court Nos. 1 and 3, UCLA's Catherine Harrison and Kyle McPhillips secured the point for the Bruins with a 7-6(7) upset over seventh-ranked Giuliana Olmos and Zoe Scandalis at court No. 2.
Unfortunately for USC, McPhillips would have Olmos's number again in singles, as she was first off following a 6-2, 6-0 victory at court No. 4 to give UCLA a 2-0 lead in the match. UCLA's top player Robin Anderson, who also happens to be the No. 1-ranked player in the nation, would soon follow, dropping just three games in a 6-1, 6-2 win over 13th-ranked Sabrina Santamaria at court No. 1. The win was significant for Anderson, who had won a total of just four games in her previous two meetings with Santamaria.
Bruin junior Kaitlin Ray notched the clincher for UCLA on Saturday, who like Anderson lost just three games in her singles match, downing Ellie Yates, 6-1, 6-2 at court No. 6.
When play was suspended, Harrison was within two games of closing out her match at court No. 5, while Chanelle Van Nguyen was in the second set after dropping the first at court No. 2, and Jennifer Brady was headed to a third at at court No. 3.

"Batman Returns" continues the journey of the dark protector of Gotham as he battles more sinister adversaries, falls deeper into his troubled Batman psyche, and finds love with a beautiful woman whose fragile insecurities are hidden deep beneath a secret identity of her own.
The premise of "Batman Returns" remains faithful to its predecessor in the sense that Batman remains Gotham's protector against injustice; however a new twist is realized in the sense that the lines which separate good and evil blurred, whereas in the original there was a marked difference which separated the protagonist of Batman and his malevolent counterpart, the Joker.
Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer) represents an intriguing character in the Batman saga because her whip wielding, feline persona, Catwoman, does not strike the cord of classic Batman villains as in the case of the Joker or Two Face. Instead, Catwoman represents a femme fatale…a dark, feminine reflection of what Batman's character symbolizes. She is not a true villain, but rather a character who understands suffering and seeks to alleviate it on her own terms. Unlike Poison Ivy, the manipulative villainess in
"Batman and Robin" whose love dust wreaked havoc with Batman's hormones but failed to win his heart, the relationship that Batman & Catwoman share represents a powerful and true love that both desire but neither can truly possess because they both are so deeply dedicated to their secret lives. The connection between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle is the strongest of any of Bruce's love interests because the insecurities of the characters and their willingness to share their dark secrets allow the relationship a special quality that the others lacked.
Oswald Cobblepott (Danny Devito) is a character that most would consider a sympathetic villain. While there is a dark malevolence which is reflected in his alter ego, the Penguin, one could almost sympathize with this character because he and Batman carry a similar burden – a dark pain that is buried so deep within them that they are utterly alone in their suffering. The thing which separates Batman and the Penguin is while Batman utilizes his pain as a catalyst for good, the Penguin's suffering is transformed from a desire to find his identity and gain acceptance to his being subjected to cruel manipulation by Max Shreck. The subsequent rejection from the people of Gotham drives the Penguin to return to his animal self and give in to his dark persona, allowing evil to consume him and eventually destroy him.
"Batman Returns" has been hailed by critics as one of the best in the Batman saga. The casting is exceptional, particularly in Michael Keaton's rendition of Batman. Michelle Pfeiffer's performance as the stunning but fragile Catwoman is the best feminine character in the "Batman" movies period. The story is a true asset to the film with explosive action scenes and a believable romantic component between Batman and Catwoman. If you are a follower of the "Batman" saga, this movie is definitely worthy of your time.

Another summer of delightful concerts by the California Philharmonic (Cal Phil) will begin at the Santa Anita Race Track on June 28, when Maestro Vener and his great orchestra will perform a selection of pieces from John Williams' most memorable scores, including Star Wars, E.T., Jaws and Jurassic Park. On this date concert-goers will also be treated to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Father and son duo, cellist Dennis Karmazyn and violinist Max Karmazyn, will perform a special violin/cello arrangement of the Theme from Schindler's List and the finale of Brahms' Double Concerto. To bring even more emotion into the night, the Cal Phil Chorale will join the orchestra for Karl Orff's Carmina Burana. This same fantastic show will be reprised the following day, Sunday, June 29, at the Walt Disney Hall, in downtown LA, at 2 p.m.
Cal Phil's second concert will be held on July 12 with Cowboys & Copland, a salute to the wild west with music from screen classics like The Magnificent Seven, How The West Was Won, The Good and The Bad and The Ugly, plus Copland's Billy The Kid and Rodeo. And for good measure, there will be a musical detour south of the border to El Salón México, and then Copland's patriotic masterpiece Lincoln Portrait—with a special guest narrator— will round out the program.
Magic, Fantasy & Adventure will abound on July 26 with the beautiful music from The Lion King, Beauty and The Beast and The Little Mermaid, which stories will be voiced by the Cal Phil Chorale. The magic will continue on this date with Dukas' fantastical Sorcerer's Apprentice, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in d minor and excerpts from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.
August 9 will be dedicated to Movie Masterpieces and will celebrate 150 years of music for film and television including themes from Pirates of the Caribbean, Game of Thrones and Titanic. Elizabeth Pitcairn will display her virtuosity when she performs John Corigliano's The Red Violin: Chaconne for Violin and Orchestra on the real "Red Violin," a Stradivarius famous not only for its sound, but for its unique pigment—the actual violin which inspired the story of the film The Red Violin and its Oscar-winning score.
The final concert of the 2014 season will tie together Broadway & Bolero on August 23.

This season finale will also count with acclaimed classical and flamenco guitarist Adam Del Monte turning up the heat in a performance of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez. And to ensure Cal Phil's 2014 season ends on several high notes, the evening's program will include performances of Ravel's Bolero and Chabrier's Espana.

Men's Soccer Drops Season Opener at DePaul, 2-1
Aug. 24, 2012
Zach Kaleta scored his third career goal in the 71st minute, but DePaul's Thiago Ganancio scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner with just three minutes remaining, to lead the Blue Demons to a 2-1 victory over the UIC men's soccer team in the season opener for both teams at Wish Field Friday afternoon.
Kaleta's goal came off a corner kick by senior Ivan Stanisavljevic, who collected the assist. Ganancio initially gave DePaul the lead with the game's first goal in the 63rd minute (62:27). The game-winner came at the 87:00 mark, when Ganancio scored an unassisted goal after a loose ball. UIC goalkeeper Piotr Kikolski challenged the play, but Ganancio slipped the ball past him into the lower left corner.
UIC out-shot the Blue Demons 13-8, led by freshman Jorge Alvarez' four shots; Stanisavljevic, Phil Galounis and true freshman Joel Salmeron each attempted two shots. The Flames' counter attack produced numerous offensive chances, particularly throughout a lengthy stretch during the second half. From the 80th to the 85th minute, UIC had three significant scoring chances, including an attempted header by junior Josh Beard off another corner kick - the ball sailed just over the crossbar.
"The first half was very typical of the first game of any season," said head coach Sean Phillips. "There weren't a lot of quality chances - Piotr (Kikolski) made one great save, and that's why he is back there. But after the teams felt each other out, I was pleased that we entered halftime at 0-0.
"Our guys did a very good job making adjustments in the second half; we got the ball on the ground and our counter attack produced a lot of high-quality chances. Right up until the final giveaway, I was pleased with how we were playing. You have to give DePaul credit; they made the play that was necessary at the key moment. We have to be cleaner and more clinical in our overall counter attack and in our finishing. We'll get ready and recovered, build on the positives from this game, and go to Ohio State looking for a better result on Sunday."
Five newcomers made their first-career start for UIC -redshirt freshman Marcin Modzelewski, junior college transfer Alexios Fronimos, true freshmen Kyle Lindberg and Joel Salmeron and redshirt freshman Thomas Villamil. Modzelewski and Lindberg played all 90 minutes. The aforementioned Alvarez played 24 minutes in a reserve role, and redshirt freshman Piotr Lagowski played 51 minutes, starting the second half.
The crowd at Wish Field was largely donned in red and blue, as nearly 100 students and UIC athletic department staff members were in attendance. Phillips praised those fans for the support.
"The part I liked most about today was the unwavering support of our fans, particularly the students that made it over to the field, even before classes start next week," Phillips said. "They were a good catalyst for us; our guys fed off their energy, and they helped us get the score to 1-1. I'm disappointed for them, because we played well enough to win but didn't get the result."
UIC will wrap up the opening weekend of the regular season Sunday, when the Flames travel to Columbus, Ohio, to take on Ohio State beginning at 11 a.m. CST. The Buckeyes will travel to Dayton in their regular season opener tonight beginning at 6:30 p.m. CST.
