D.A. Pennebaker is the legendary filmmaker who directed such music-based documentaries as "Dont Look Back" (Bob Dylan), "Monterey Pop," "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" (David Bowie), "John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band: Sweet Toronto," "101" (Depeche Mode), and "Down From The Mountain," among many others.
However, music is only one the genres Pennebaker has documented over the past six decades. Pennebaker's current project with his wife and co-director, Chris Hegedus ("The War Room" and "Startup.com"), is "Unlocking the Cage," which takes a look at obtaining legal human rights for animals, and in this case, chimpanzees. The couple are using Kickstarter to raise money to fund the project. $75,000 is the goal, which must be reached by next Friday, May 23, at 6:18 a.m. Among the exclusive items backers can receive are "Dont Look Back" t-shirts and vintage buttons, movie posters, autographed books, LPs, and DVDs, actual film strips from selected Pennebaker films, Google and Skype "hangouts", private screenings, and other exciting offers. We'll delve into that in part two of this article.
Here's a description of "Unlocking the Cage" from the Kickstarter page: "Follows attorney Steve Wise's fight to give animals personhood rights and break down the legal wall separating them from humans … For the past two years we have been following an animal rights lawyer, Steve Wise, who is attempting to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans. You might have recently read about Steve and his organization, the Nonhuman Rights Project. This past December they ignited a media frenzy when they filed the first-ever lawsuits demanding limited animal personhood rights for four chimpanzees in New York State. Tommy, a 26 year-old former film actor living in a garage on a used trailer lot, became their first plaintiff … We hope that by exploring Steve's lawsuit and illustrating the legal and ethical questions it raises, "Unlocking the Cage" will contribute to the evolving debate about our society's relationship to animals and, more importantly, why we should protect them. We are very excited about this project. It's a personal story of a man with an uncompromising need to change the system, a story that we want to tell from start to finish. Please join us and help make it happen."
I spoke with D.A. Pennebaker and Associate Producer Julia McInnis over the phone recently about the film.
"Charles Darwin said two things that really fascinated me," Pennebaker told me. "One is that animals, like people, feel the one same thing in common, and that is pain. The second thing he said about animals is not that they believed in a god, but they could see beauty. I think in the next hundred years, people will really try to communicate with animals, and find out what is going on in their minds."
"A story about our protagonist, Steve Wise, was recently on the cover of the New York Times Sunday Magazine," McInnis said, "and the story was about the work of his organization to get legal rights for non-human animals. I think it's worth mentioning that part of what threw Penny into this was how much of his life he has dedicated to justice for animals. It's really his passion, his raison d'être, just like music is for Dylan. For a lot of Penny's characters for his films, he looks for people who are just completely passionate and talented about some 'thing.' They are kind of like heroes. Steve is a hero for what he's doing, just a Dylan is a hero to so many people. Groundbreaking as well."
A lot of work has been done so far, but more needs to be accomplished. "So far, we've filmed the background work Steve has done for his lawsuits," McInnes said."We filmed the initial filings, and what we have left to film are scenes with scientists who have done research on chimpanzee cognition. We also have to film Steve's legal appeals that will take place in the fall."
At this point, there's no way of knowing where the story will go, or how long it will take. "The problem is not just us or the story," Pennebaker explained. "It depends on the courts of law, and they move very slowly. The movie can't be done until Steve has a chance to argue his case. Whether he wins or loses obviously matters to him and a lot of chimpanzees, but either way, it's a film about somebody whose passion is to change things in favor of animals. Just the fact that he's going in front of three courts in New York state is going to raise some issues that otherwise would never appear, so its worth his doing it, and certainly worth our filming. And we have permission to film in at least one of the courts. If he does it, it's revolutionary."
And evolutionary.
"Yes! Animals are companions on this planet, not necessarily our feedbags. It should be handled a little bit more respectively."
I mentioned there appears to be a turning of the tide, globally, on many social issues, possibly due to the prevalence of social media. "I noticed that too," agreed Pennebaker "Everybody now knows what everybody in the rest of the world is thinking. They may be doing some terrible things in spite of that, but the fact is that common knowledge kind of leads you to what to whole thing is about. Animals are not things to ride on, or eat. One of the things we found out as we filmed with people who dealt with chimps, and with all animals, and it's really incredible, is their levels of intelligence that we don't recognize right away. They have to power of recall, which is what the Kalahari Bushman used to have before the Brits educated them in high schools. The fact is that they can look at a number for a tenth of a second, and remember it! They can look at a bunch of numbers and look at all of them. Well, that's kind of incredible!"
And they also deserve their day in court.
In part two, we will delve into the collectable items being offered to those who pledge money toward the film. In the meantime, watch the embedded video, and check out the official Kickstarter page.

The National Weather Service at Baltimore-Washington has issued a Flash Flood Watch and a Coastal Flood Watch in effect from Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. An active weather pattern will produce moderate to occasionally heavy rain over the Middle Atlantic states during this period. 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, with locally higher amounts, can be expected. Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible through Wednesday evening.
Weather Summary
After a sunny morning, clouds continue to increase around the area as we transition from a dry weather pattern to a wet period. Showers are expected to overspread the area overnight and into Tuesday morning. Temperatures will be quite cool on Tuesday with highs only in the 50s. Meanwhile, an area of low pressure will move into the Great Lakes region and its associated warm front will move northward across the Middle Atlantic states. The result will be widespread steady rainfall and occasional thundershowers on Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday as the warm air overrides cooler air the surface. Some of the rain showers may produce heavy rain, hence the need to post flood watches in some areas. Most thundershowers and thunderstorms will be garden variety, but a few may become severe with strong winds and possible tornadic activity. A cold front will push from west to east toward Chesapeake Bay by Wednesday night. This will produce additional showers and thundershowers. Rainfall amounts from Monday night through Wednesday night may exceed 1 to 2 inches with locally higher amounts. The warmest day of the week will be on Thursday as warm air surges north in advance of the cold front. Once the front clears the area, a sunny Friday and Saturday can be expected with lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s and highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Dairy is Good for You
In your recent articles, "How Safe Is Your Milk?" and "Simple Swaps for Safer Dairy," you've given women a set of mistaken reasons to avoid dairy products at a time when all Americans, and women and children in particular do not meet their daily requirements for calcium, potassium and Vitamin D, plentifully supplied by milk and other dairy foods. You've also fallen into the journalistic trap of connecting a particular food --in this case, dairy--to a particular disease --cancer--when medical researchers, epidemiologists and even food scientists like me will not agree to this particular cause and effect relationship. Let's take a look at some additional science-based information. The recently released 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recognize the importance of three daily servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods as a core part of a healthy diet. The Dietary Guidelines also say that milk and milk products supply three of the four nutrients of concern (calcium, vitamin D and potassium) in the diets of Americans, as well as many other important nutrients. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010. 7th Edition, Washington, DC: U.S Government Printing Office, December 2010.)
All milk (cow, goat, sheep, camel, human etc.), as well as all animal and plant foods, naturally contain very small amounts of hormones. Your suggestion that readers consume sheep or goat's milk is also restrictive in that these pasteurized products are not commonly found in retail grocery store cases.
You state that, "Galactose may set in motion processes that stimulate the growth of ovarian cells and follicles, adding to the lifetime stress on the ovaries." You correctly state that this is a theory, and, in fact, there is no scientific evidence to indicate that consumption of lactose promotes cancer. However, based on this theory, you recommend consumption of lactose-free milk. Lactose-free milk is produced by adding lactase to milk. Lactase is an enzyme that converts lactose into its constituent sugars (glucose and galactose). Consequently, lactose-free milk contains the same level of galactose as regular milk, it is just no longer linked to a molecule of glucose. Consumption of lactose-free milk will not decrease consumption of galactose. If a person is lactose intolerant, they simply lack the enzyme, lactase, and when they consume regular milk, the lactose is metabolized in their large intestine and they experience intestinal
discomfort. Lactose-free milk provides these consumers the opportunity to consume milk without having digestive issues. And lactose intolerance doesn't mean avoiding dairy altogether. It's important for people with lactose intolerance to find a way to meet their recommended intake of calcium and milk's other essential nutrients. In addition to lactose-free milk, fermented dairy products such as regular or reduced-fat Cheddar cheese are nutrient dense, contain very little lactose (<.20%) and can be readily consumed by people that are lactose intolerant.
Some dairy farmers choose to use recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) as a tool to help cows produce more milk more resourcefully. Studies show that milk from cows treated with the supplemental hormone rbST is the same wholesome product that we have enjoyed for years. The use of recombinant bovine somatotropin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993 based on an exhaustive review of scientific studies. (Bovine somatotropin. NIH Technol. Assess Statement Online 1990 Dec 5-7; (7):16.)

Despite firing a season-high 52 shots on net, including 21 in the third period, the Tulsa Oilers were unable to score on Denver's goaltender Kent Patterson, as the Cutthroats shutout the Oilers, 1-0 in Game 5 of their first round Central Hockey League playoff series. Denver holds a 3-2 series lead with Game 6 scheduled for Tuesday evening in Tulsa.
The lone goal of the contest came from A.J. Gale just 2:45 into the first period. With Tulsa defenseman Eric Tallent in the penalty box for roughing, Denver center Troy Schwab set up Gale for a one-timer from the near circle. The 27-year old winger sizzled a slap shot past Shane Madolora for his first goal of the postseason. Patterson made 19 saves in the first period and the Oilers trailed after the opening frame for the first time in the series.
The two sides traded power plays in the second period, but the Cutthroats 1-0 lead remained at the beginning of the final frame. The Oilers controlled the puck for the vast majority of the third period and kept the Cutthroats pinned down in their own zone, but the pressure never paid off. Time after time, Patterson proved to be an impenetrable last line of defense as he turned aside 21 third period shots to preserve the victory.
Just 24 hours after exploding for six goals and chasing Patterson from the net after the first period in Game 4, the Oilers were shutout on Saturday night for the first time in the series. Tulsa went 0-for-4 on the power play and is now 1-for-21 in the series with the man-advantage. Madolora made 31 stops as the hard-luck loser and Oilers forward Ben Gordon led all skaters with 11 shots on goal.
The Oilers will try to extend series in Game 6 which begins at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15 at the BOK Center. Tulsa is 1-1 on home ice in the series.

Cunningham seeks public takeover of HELCO
On the heels of three unsuccessful gubernatorial bids, Volcano resident Daniel Cunningham is now setting his sights on the Hawaii County mayorship.
Cunningham, 60, is a Florida transplant and former chiropractor who has a unique vision for Hawaii Island that includes parking a decommissioned nuclear-powered submarine in the ocean to create a county-owned utility providing free or low-cost energy. Utilities should not be owned by corporations such as Hawaii Electric Light Co., he said. The government should use eminent domain powers, if necessary, to take over the utilities, he said.
"We need to 86 private power companies and turn them over to the public," Cunningham said.
Cunningham said the county should be able to get a federal grant for the submarine, which would provide power for 20 years. "Minimally invasive" geothermal energy is also a possibility, he said. Solar power should also be aggressively implemented, he said. If not free, energy should be able to be obtained for 2 cents a kilowatt hour, he said, compared to the 40-plus cents it currently costs on the Big Island.
The county's ever-mounting garbage problem could also be solved with a little imagination, Cunningham said.
He proposes a massive floating platform in the ocean some 30 stories high that would be used as a recycling center as well as a livestock-raising area that serves as the first step toward space colonization.
"We'd be creating the 21st century City of Refuge," he said.
The floating city would be governed by women, he said, because "men are so self-destructive."
Cunningham also would work toward decriminalizing marijuana as a way to save money in law enforcement and prosecutions. He doesn't advocate using drugs, but he believes the current high-priority enforcement only feeds the military industrial complex. Hemp, he said, could become the basis of a biofuel energy system, further saving residents money in power production.
"We should not spend one cent on cannabis enforcement," he said.
Cunningham also favors deregulating medicine. As a former chiropractor who lost his license because he was using hypodermic needles in his practice, Cunningham believes the state oversteps its bounds and makes medical care more expensive for everybody. Because many nutritional supplements are delivered by injection, he believes alternative medicine practitioners should be able to use hypodermics. The system of licensing doctors and nurses should be replaced with a system of certificates of competency, he said.
"By deregulating medicine, I think a lot of the costs would go down," Cunningham said.

NTTA suspects IT group of fraudulent refunds
North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) report they recently discovered evidence of several IT (information technology) staff being engaged in thievery of upwards of $300k via fraudulent refunds from toll authority monies.
A statement issued today says: "Upon the discovery of the possible misappropriation, the Plano Police Department was promptly notified and the Authority immediately engaged an external forensic investigation firm. The Authority took additional action, launching an internal investigation and taking measures to maintain the integrity of NTTA customer data."
Allen Clemson, NTTA executive director is quoted: ""We take our obligation to safeguard our financial systems and customer information very seriously, and NTTA is disturbed that this situation occurred. We are angry and appalled to learn that a few employees may have ignored their responsibilities to the NTTA and the citizens it serves. The NTTA is assisting law enforcement with its investigation and intends to prosecute all responsible individuals to the fullest extent of the law."
The statement says that pending the results of the investigation "appropriate personnel action has been taken." Apparently the suspected thieves have been suspended.
The NTTA says along with its forensic investigation firm they are reviewing systems to establish the extent of the losses.
They say the losses are at this point estimated at under $300,000. NTTA has insurance to cover losses like this.
There is no evidence those involved have "compromised" customer information.

I've been doing a lot of work lately on TippingPoint's Custom Shield Writer tool, which we conveniently (and lovingly) refer to as "CSW". CSW allows a customer to write their own custom filters to apply to a TippingPoint IPS. The initials "CSW", however, reminded me of a story:
The other day I was, for reasons known only to myself, reading the manuals that came with First Edition Unix. This wasn't the first time I'd read them, but I noticed something new this time.
There was a manual page for a command known as 'dsw'. Obviously, this was the command used to interactively remove files (the equivalent, in modern parlance, of 'rm -i').
What struck me, however, was this little tidbit from the notes section:
The name dsw is a carryover from the ancient past. Its
etymology is amusing but the name is nonetheless ill—
Well, obviously, that's a mystery in need of solving. I'll admit that not all Unix commands are clearly named, but this one was obscure even by those standards.
I spent some of my time this past weekend looking up the answer. (Hey, what can I say? I know how to party!) The answer came from an old page on Bell Labs' website discussing Unix history.
It turns out, the name is a loose abbreviation of "delete from switches". Of course!
But, what are these switches, you ask?
Well, this edition of Unix ran on a machine from DEC called the PDP-11 (with 24KW of memory and no memory protection). The PDP-11, like most machines of that vintage, had a collection of switches on the front of its chassis. These switches were known by various names: "console switches", "front-panel switches", and so on.
These switches were used for a variety of purposes. One main use was to deposit values in memory before the operating system was loaded. It was by this laborious method bootloaders were placed into memory that would then read the rest of the operating system from tape or disk.
(The legendary Seymour Cray was famed for being able to switch in a bootloader from memory.)
On machines with a bootloader in ROM, these switches had less of a purpose, usually just for debugging or configuration purposes. The PDP-11 used by the original Unix developers had such a bootloader, and therefore, these switches were woefully underutilized.
The original version of 'dsw' didn't have much of a user interface. Modern interactive file deletion commands do something like the following:
* Get a list of files in the directory.
* For each file, print out its name.
* Wait for the user to confirm deletion of the file.
* Repeat until there are no more files in the list.
'dsw' eschewed this obviously over-complicated interface by using the aforementioned woefully underutilized console switches.
To interactively delete files in the current directory, the user would decide how many files appeared in the directory listing before the doomed file. They would then set the console switches to that number (in octal, of course), and run 'dsw'. The program would then read that number of filenames from the directory, store the name of the last file it encountered in its own process memory, print out that name, and then crash.
The crash would produce a core dump (a raw representation of the contents of memory when the program crashed).
To confirm the deletion the named file, the user could then run the core file. That is, rather than running 'dsw' again, they would read the contents of the core dump directly back into memory and jump back to that code.
This would cause the 'dsw' instance stored in the core file to read from memory the name of the last file it had encountered and delete it.
In this manner, you could be sure that you would not delete a file unless you really meant to.
This, my friends, is how a real programmer writes an interactive file removal program.

The period drama 12 Years a Slave won the Academy Award for Best Picture just two days ago, and now people who previously missed out on seeing it are clamoring to check it out.
According to TorrentFreak on Tuesday, the film saw a huge surge in illegal downloads the day after the Oscar win. Viewing of the movie on piracy websites reportedly tripled, translating to roughly 100,000 extra downloads on Monday alone.
Gravity, which won seven of the 10 Oscars is was nominated for, also saw a big spike in piracy, as downloads more than doubled after Sunday.
TorrentFreak calls the spike in illegal downloads for Oscar movies a "recurring phenomenon," citing The Hurt Locker, which won Best Picture in 2010. Voltage Pictures ultimately sued over 24,000 downloaders, making it the biggest file-sharing lawsuit ever.
It has also been announced that 12 Years a Slave has the go-ahead to be shown (legally) in schools. The National School Boards Association says it is teaming up with New Regency, Penguin Books, and producers to distribute the film and the book it was based on to public high schools starting this fall.
Talk show host Montel Williams is coordinating the initiative, which follows up his previous successful bid to introduce the Civil War film Glory into the curriculum.
"Since first reading 12 Years a Slave, it has been my dream that this book be taught in schools," director Steve McQueen said. "I am immensely grateful to Montel Williams and the National School Boards Association for making this dream a reality and for sharing Solomon Northup's story with today's generation."

Bleu! is presented in an expanded ten-show engagement in the Doris Duke Theatre from July 2-6, with $10 youth ticket pricing available for all performances.
Of Bleu!, Jacob's Pillow Executive and Artistic Director Ella Baff says: ""Wonder" knows no age. This production is made for children, but anyone can enjoy and appreciate the sophisticated skills of the performers, how they interact with the audience, and the beautiful world they create in each of their productions."
Through whimsical props, sophisticated, interactive technology-based scenic design, and engaging, theatrical performances, Bleu! creates an accessible experience inspired by the rich history and culture surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Bleu! is performed by Cristiana D'Alberto and Luca Tomao and invites active participation among audiences of all ages and physical abilities levels. Called "a rather poetic experience" by Gwenola Gabellec of La Provence (Marseille, France), Bleu! offers an intimate perspective on the delicate relationship between humans and our natural surroundings.
Jacob's Pillow audiences last experienced the interactive work of Compagnia TPO in 2008, when the company performed The Painted Garden and The Japanese Garden in the Doris Duke Theatre. Of that performance, Janine Parker of The Boston Globe wrote:
"Participants responded in all sorts of ways: shy, sheepish, curious, bold. Two children went up several times...Adults, too, were mostly game. Afterward, I asked two of them how their magic carpet ride was. "Awesome!" they simultaneously chimed. It seems that we all need a little play in our lives."
Established in 1981, Compagnia TPO has built a unique repertory of immersive dance works that synthesize advanced technology and timeless wonder. With a focus on the natural world, TPO productions educate and excite through lush visual design, playful narrative, and participatory movement. The artistic personnel of TPO have developed numerous systems employing motion-tracking and other technological innovations through which to further their mission to create works that encourage curiosity, creativity, and active engagement by child audiences.
Following each matinee performance by Compagnia TPO, young audience members are invited to continue their experiential dance adventures through Kids Corners featuring movement activities and more, funded by the LEGO Children's Fund.

T-Mobile UK: our next Android phone is called G1 Touch
While T-Mobile USA's second Android phone will be called MyTouch 3G, T-Mobile UK has a different name for G1's successor.
According to a message posted on T-Mobile UK's official Twitter account, the British carrier's second Android smartphone has been named G1 Touch.
Unlike the MyTouch 3G, which is a US version of the HTC Magic, UK's G1 Touch is a mysterious device for the moment. It's most probably not the HTC Magic, since this is already offered by Vodafone in Europe (UK included).
The G1 Touch might be the recently announced Huawei U8230 (pictured below) – especially since a Huawei representative has confirmed that the handset will debut at T-Mobile sometime in the third quarter of 2009.
It's not clear yet when T-Mobile UK will officially unveil the G1 Touch, but let's hope it happens soon.

Sorry but I'm not sure I understand the question?
Can you post some screenshots to help illustrate the problem you're having?
Registered forum members do not see this ad.
Hi guys..i'm new in max. I have basic question and sorry with my english, hope i can
explain it clear enough.
Sometimes before making any model, i use assist lines to give better result.
Then i can start modeling using any primitives.
But why everytime i try to place primitives object's coordinates onto assist lines,
they always placed up differently although each points are already at the same number?
I can always see that problem with 3-5 zooms
Is anyone can help me please?
Sorry but I'm not sure I understand the question?
Can you post some screenshots to help illustrate the problem you're having?
Pic 1.JPGPic 2.JPG
Ok I think i'll just use simple spline to make it easier to me to explain..
Maybe this will look stupid
I created line in here and dragged its pivot to the left edge. Then i cloned another one and rotated 45'.
Next i moved it to the first line edge using snap toggle.
See what happen with the pivot. Already the same x,y,z coordinate number but still end up in different place.
And basicly this my problem is....
Any help please....?
Ok, if I understand correctly, you are saying the endpoints of the lines are at the same coordinate location but the pivots are at different locations, correct?
You should not confuse the pivot location and the endpoint location. They are two totally different things. The endpoint locations are absolute. When you snap two lines or objects together by their endpoints, they will be precise and correct, but you can move the pivots anywhere you want. So don't worry about where the pivot is, in relation to the endpoint, it's not really important. Unless you need it to be right at the endpoint for some reason.
In my case, i do need each of these red line edges gizmos to remain where they are (Pic A), so i can either rotate and move'em when needed.
Moreover to make the plane vertex snapped into every line edges perfectly (ex: Pic B). I just don't get it, somehow they always end up like this (Pic C and C01). This will cost me a hard time when snap something to it, rotate etc.
I might still be able to just snap'em the way they are and keep move on (Pic D)...but unless this is the only way that max has,
i'll still wondering if there's better way to do it right...

I think you're getting too caught up in where the pivot point is in relation to the object. It doesn't really matter unless you've absolutely got to have it right at the endpoint. If that is in fact the case, then just move the pivot to the endpoint.
1. Activate your Snaps Toggle
2. Open the Grid and Snap Settings
3. Set "Pivot" and "Endpoint" active
4. Go to the "Hierarchy" panel
5. Select "Affect Pivot Only"
6. Choose "Select and Move"
7. Move your cursor to the center of the Gizmo until you see a small circle appear at the intersection of all 3 axis
8. Click and drag the Gizmo over to the endpoint until it snaps in place

JWC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN ; 11 October 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18431011-JWC-JCA-01; CL 17: 151-153
[ca. 11 October 1843]
My dear Jane
To threep [complain] that I would not write to you was a sure way to make me write—contradictory human being as I am!1— After all, it is rather inexplicable—not to say iniquitous—that you, with so many small vermints [children] worrying at you from morning till night, should be readier to write than I am, who have not anything of that decided sort to take up my time!— For to account for it on the hypothesis that there is more of kind remembrance on your side than on mine were an unfair solution, and one that I protest against with all my strength— The fact being that the older I get, the more I occupy myself with the past, the more I give of kind remembrance to all those I ever loved— Scotland and the few belonging to me still left alive there were never so dear to my heart as just since I have felt myself an exile from it and them—for that I should ever return there except to be buried looks as much a moral impossibility to me now as it did in the first months after my Mothers death— "Time" Bishop Terrot told me the other day "would cure me of this morbid feeling" may be so—when it does I shall be thankful
Carlyle returned from his travels "very bi[lious";] and continues very bilious up to this hour—the amount of bile that he does bring home to m[e] in these cases is something "awfully grand"!2— Even thro that deteriorating medium however he could not but be struck with "a certain" admiration at the immensity of needlework I had accomplished in his absence in the shape of chaircovers, sofacovers, windowcurtains &c &c and all the other manifest improvements into which I had put my whole genius and industry and so little money as was hardly to be conceived!3 For three days I think his satisfaction over the rehabilitated house lasted—on the fourth the young Lady next door took a fit of practising on her accursed pianoforte, which he had quite forgotten seemingly, and he started up disenchanted in his new Library and informed Heaven and Earth in a peremptory manner that "there, he could neither think nor live," that the Carpenter must be brought back and "steps taken to make him a quiet place somewhere—perhaps best of all on the roof of the house"— Then followed interminable consultations with the said Carpenter—yielding for some days only plans (wild ones) and estimates— The room on the roof could be made all that a living Author of irritable nerves could desire—silent as a tomb—lighted from above—but—it would cost £120!! Impossible—seeing that we may be turned out of the house any year! So one had to reduce ones schemes to the altering of rooms that already were— By taking down a partition and instituting a fire place where no fire place could have been fancied capable of existing—it is expected that some bearable approximation to that ideal room in the clouds will be realized.
But my astonishment and despair, on finding myself after three months of what they call here "regular mess"—just when I had got every trace of the workpeople cleared away and had said to myself "soul take thine ease or at all events thy swing for thou hast carpets nailed down and furniture rubbed for many days"! just when I was beginning to lead the dreaming, reading, dawdling existence which best suits me, and alone suits me in cold weather—to find myself in the thick of a new "mess"—the carpets which I had nailed down so well with my own hands tumbled up again—dirt lime, whitewash oilpaint, hard at work as before—and a prospect of new cleanings new sewings, new arrangings stretching away into—eternity—for anything I see— Well as my Helen says (the strangest mixiture of Philosopher and perfect idiot that I have met with in life) "When one's doing this one's doing nothing else anyhow"! and as one ought to be always doing something this suggestion of hers has some consolation it it—
John has got a very pleasant lodging, in the solitude of which it is to be hoped he may discover "what he wanted and what he wants" 4— There is an old man who goes about singing here and accompanying himself on the worst of fiddles—who has a song about Adam that John should lend all his ears to—it tells about all his comforts in Paradise and then adds that he was nevertheless at a loss—to be sure
But the all-wise great Creator saw—that he wan-ted a wife!"5— But you can form no notion of the impressiveness of this song unless you could hear the peculiar jerk of the fiddle in the middle of the last line—and the old man's distribution of emphasis on the different words of it— Here is come a son of Mrs Strachey's to be talked to6— Wersh [insipid] enough—but there is no help for it— I do not think you shall have such reason to reproach me again now that the ice is broken—kind regards to your husband— God keep you all
affectionately yours
Jane Carlyle

Earlier this month we reported here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com Premium that Jeff Jarrett was actively trying to bring on new investors to TNA Wrestling and was talking with a restaurant chain.
I'm now being told the name of the company Jarrett is talking with to purchase part or all of TNA is called Royal Capital Corporation and are actually based in Georgia (we originally reported they were Nashville-based but that was because one of their subsidiaries is Shoney's North America Corp.).
My source, speaking to me under the condition of anonymity, says Jarrett is hopeful they'll end up with controlling interest which will lead to him re-gaining power of the company. However, I'm told that "could be a long shot."
As things currently stand, Dixie Carter won't want to give up control but if things don't turnaround, Janice could be tempted to sell. The Carter family is currently looking for a minority partner.

Lets say you're writing something that is on the right track but isn't quite ready for presentation yet. The structure is there, you have the characters down but something about it just isn't clicking and you would love to get a second opinion.
Before shooting it off to your cousin, you may want to ask yourself what you're looking to get out of sharing your work before it's done.
Do you want to get some honest, maybe even brutal feedback?
Or are you looking for a quick pat on the back?
If you're seeking the latter, then that's fine. You've been working hard. Maybe you deserve some emotional support to keep you running on all cylinders.
But there is only a certain amount of times you can hear 'It's great!' from your friends before things start smelling fishy. And as far as improving your material goes, you will likely to get much more out of a brutally honest assessment from your peers than from an uplifting - if counterproductive - dose of personalized patronization.
Does your bff just want you to feel good about yourself? Might your buddy be partial to the story in question because he can relate to you better than anyone? These questions are worth considering before taking the notes they give you and heading back to the grindstone.
Of course, going to your friends for an extra set of eyes is almost always preferable to going to an experienced writer who may one day be able to help you take that next big step. When showing to professional writers, you should always be as confident in what you have as possible. Click here if you need a refresher on the pitfalls of pitching early.
But most of the time phony praise is not all that helpful, and if you're being real with yourself then you probably know deep down that patronizing is just a euphemism for dishonesty.
Besides, you're a serious writer with real goals. You can handle the brutal truth when it comes your way. And as long as you make your desires and expectations clear - to both yourself and to those you're trusting with your work - you shouldn't have any trouble getting the most out of showing an unfinished piece to your peers.

A lonely polar bear named Arturo is pacing nervously in his small cage in Argentina at the Mendoza Zoo and he looks to be depressed. His mate died of cancer in 2012 and the bear is lonely and sad, so sad that animal rights activists have made arrangements for Arturo to join a Canada zoo's polar bear community, according to News Max on July 23.
Unfortunately the Argentina zoo officials have declined that invitation saying that Arturo is just too old to relocate and the trip could harm him. Animal rights activists and other experts believe Arturo will be much better off being transported to Canada than pacing about his cage alone in Argentina.
According to the Christian Science Monitor today, Arturo is Argentina's last captive polar bear. The petition on Change.org is asking the Argentina zoo officials to please move Arturo so he can live out his last years in the company of other polar bears.
In the zoo at Winnipeg, Manitoba the polar bear will have plenty of room to roam and swim, as all polar bears like to do. While the Argentina zoo has a pool that they've just made bigger for the bear, the polar bear enclosure is small. The zoo in Canada has welcomed the idea of bringing Arturo to them. The petition on Change.org asks "Please allow Arturo to have a better life at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Canada."
The sad plight of this polar bear has even caught the attention of U.S. Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. He has rallied to Arturo's cause asking that folks please sign the online petition, which has over 500,000 signatures to date.
The petition is asking the Argentina officials to let Arturo move to the Canada zoo's polar bear community. There's a conflict of a prognosis when it comes to the health issues of the bear. It differs between the vets in Argentina and the vets that animal rights activists have contacted on Arturo's behalf.
Argentina vets say the polar bear will need to be sedated for a transport to Canada and they are afraid this will not be good for the bear's health at his age. Animal activists are saying that it is to Arturo's benefit to move him from the area where the summer heat can reach well into the 80s. This climate can easily kill a bear whose natural habitat is a sub-zero region.
The last polar bear left at a Buenos Aires Zoo died in the middle of a heatwave back in 2012, which is not a fate that anyone wants for Arturo. The Argentina zoo official, Gustavo Pronottos, said that "Arturo is close to his caretakers." Then he went on to say, "We just want everyone to stop bothering the bear."
Although a wild polar bear's life expectancy is 15-18 years, a polar bear in captivity can live to be around 30-years-old. With Arturo being 28-years-old, it is a shame that the Argentina zoo officials won't let the depressed polar bear live out his last years of life in a place where he won't be lonely. It is also a place with a more conducive climate and a place where he will have plenty of room to roam.

Lake George is the biggest and arguably the most beautiful lake inside the Adirondack Park, but with its winds and motorboat traffic, it is not the best place for paddling. Canoeists and kayakers can find a refuge from the busy lake in Dunham Bay Marsh.
The outlet of the vast marsh flows into Lake George from the south. From Dunham's Bay Marina, you can paddle two miles up the inlet to its source. The marina charges a put-in fee of $5 per boat.
You launch from a quiet, grassy area near some boat slips. The stream seems to have no current. In summer, blooms of white water lilies and pickerelweed abound. The vegetation on the edges of the outlet is a mixture of cattails and grasses.
Although Dunham Bay Marsh is never far from roads, it seems like a wild oasis. Paddling upstream, you are likely to flush great blue herons and mallards. Red-winged blackbirds frequently flit across the water and call out from the cattails. You'll also see a few beaver lodges.
As the stream bends, you are afforded views of Pilot's Knob and the rocky summit of Buck Mountain to the northeast. Sugarloaf Mountain is closer and directly east.
At 1.5 miles, the stream becomes weedier and soon becomes clogged with lily pads as well. If you push on, the lily pads thin out, though the weeds remain. At about two miles, you reach the end of the stream in a hardwood forest. When I paddled here recently, the place was abuzz with cedar waxwings.
On the way back, you'll often have the rocky ledges of Cat Mountain in your sights. It's located in the northwest, about halfway up the lake.
Phil Brown is the editor of the Adirondack Explorer newsmagazine.
DIRECTIONS: From Northway Exit 21, drive east a few hundred yards to NY 9. Turn left and go 0.3 miles to NY 9L. Turn right and go 4.5 miles to Dunham's Bay Marina. They will direct you to the launch off Bay Road (a right turn just before NY 9L crosses the marsh's outlet).

We have a web application that we want to start running regression tests on, and one of the things I'm supposed to look for when choosing an alternative is a tool that has a recorder. However, I get the general feeling that it is frowned upon, and that writing tests in code is preferred. What are the eventual disadvantages or advantages of using a record and playback tool for regression testing?
I would not recommend record and play for regression testing for following reasons
I would say its like hand coding a website even though you have a WYSIWYG editor at your disposal. For learning and beginning with a tool and see its constructs you can use record and play but to make stable, maintainable and standard based tests you should hand code it taking help of record functionality if required.

For full color correction:
- Apply to dry hair.
- Mix equal parts of Colorfix Part 1 Color Reducer and Part 2 Conditioning Catalyst in tint bowl or an applicator bottle. (Mix as much as will be needed for the density and length of hair that requires correction.) Wearing gloves and using a tint brush, apply quickly and evenly to the hair. If mixed in an applicator bottle, shake vigorously until thoroughly mixed (45 seconds to 1 minute). Gently work through the hair to ensure even penetration. After mixing Part 1 Color Reducer and Part 2 Conditioning Catalyst, use as quickly as possible, since the activity of the mixture decrease with time.
- Cover loosely with a plastic cap, and process up to 20 minutes. Strand test frequently. Low, warm dryer heat may be used to speed processing time.

- Wearing gloves, apply to damp, towel-dried hair. Apply only to the areas of the hair that require lightening, and work into lather. To determine timing, take a strand test frequently.
- When the desired shade has been reached, rinse thoroughly and shampoo.
Tips for successful color correction:
- Always strand test color formulas to be used prior to application. Remember, porous hair will absorb colors more quickly and the resulting hair color may be slightly darker. You may need to formulate 1-2 levels lighter than desired result.
- Always use a low pH conditioner after an application of Colorfix. This will help protect the hair, and return it to a more normal state.
- Colorfix is developed to remove oxidative dyes. Since most semipermanent colors are combination of direct dyes and oxidative dyes, Colorfix may only partially remove these.

It did get alot of the black out, and i have a dark brown/black/redish look.... I haven't tried dying it yet.... I hope this works better for everyone else!

Amazing Results!I've been dying my hair red for the past three months and have become bored with it. I've done this song and dance before... and what I've done is the past is either dye it brown only to have the red eak back through or use a color stripper that completely wrecked my hair. Because of all the positive reviews here, I decided to give this a try. I mixed up the first two products and applied it to my hair with gloved fingers. I have bra strap long fine hair. I used about half of the bottles. I got excellent coverage and it was very easy to apply. I then wrapped it up tightly in plastic wrap. Many people are complaining about the smell. I honestly thought it wasn't that bad, and since I wrapped my hair up in plastic wrap it was only noticeable when I took that off. I let it sit on there for a really long time. Like, an hour and ten minutes. I rinsed really well, shampooed twice and used a super heavy conditioner. I was shocked at how much color had come out of my hair! Almost all the red had come out! The upper portion was much lighter than the bottom, but I decided I should wait until the next day to try it a second time. I skipped the activator step. The next night I mixed up another batch and applied it same as before, except this time I concentrated more on the ends. I let it sit for about 45 minutes and rinsed well, shampooed twice, and deep conditioned. This time the results evened out my hair and took out more of the red. I've decided to wait a little while before I dye it again to my more natural color. I've read a lot of reviews where it darkened over time, but mostly right in the beginning. So far I've waited two days and it's darkened just slightly. The best thing is, it didn't wreck my hair! When I was rinsing it out it felt so soft. And even right now the ends are not any more dry than they were before I started this. This product is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to strip their hair!Feb 24, 2012Amanda D.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Pretty Awesome, Not Gonna Lie.Ill be the first to admit I abuse my hair. One month its orange, the next its black, the next its blonde, red, black, yellow....well i've had black hair for like five or six months now. The longest i've ever had one hair color since I turned 19 four years ago..
I had bought a crappy color stripper from the grocery store a few months ago along with crappy dye. Needless to say it stayed black. Ugh! Frustration.
I read reviews on Colorfix and I ran to the beauty supply store. Picked it up. And used it.
1. I suggest getting a dye brush for an even application.
2. I left it on for fourty five minutes instead of twenty.
3. Did not use the third bottle, heard its crap.
My hair didn't come out blonde, but then again i'm naturally a brunette.... It turned out a light chocolate brown with gorgeous red highlights! How does that even happen?
My hair doesn't smell that bad at all. I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the rotten egg smell...it smells like hair dye. Maybe i'm just much too familiar with the smell haha.
I love this stuff. One n Only has a new lifetime customer. :)Feb 11, 2012Heather / Seattle, WA

Love This!My hair was dark brown when I used this, I literally had colored it the day before using it (it was dark brown before also). I didn't think that it was going to turn out well at all due to me trying to bleach my hair before. My hair actually turned out lighter when I used this product than when I just bleached it. The color is very even, my roots to the tips of my hair are all the same color. The number one bottle smells very bad but doesn't stink as bad once you mix it with the second, I didn't use the processing lotion because of the reviews and my hair looks great. I highly recommend this product when wanting to lighten hair. My hair is now a light brown/dark blonde with some lighter highlights. USE THIS.Jan 24, 2012BeckiHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Love! From Natural Black Hair Asiannnn! :)OK,I'm Asian so I have natural black hair, when I came to U.S about 5 yrs ago, I never dyed my hair before, but couple months later my hair color become lighter, it became brownish which I really don't like. So I dyed my hair to black,which turns out to be the worst choice I have ever made. And my hair became VERY VERY VERY dark black and it probably never came off even before I use the one 'n only Colorfix. 1 year later I want to dye my hair to red, it didnt work of course. So I waited 2 yrs and after I graduate from high school I went back to China and went to a professional hair salon and asked the professional designer to dye my hair to red and purplish, but it turns out only the root of my hair was red and the others remains black. The color only shows my I go under the sun. Until this year, I dyed my hair to black AGAIN! (I guess I didn't learn from it yet!) It was about 3 months ago, then I dyed my hair to red about 2 month ago, I didn't know that I can't mix colors on hair, I wouldn't waste so much time and money if I did! but until about 4 days ago, I heard about this product, I ordered online and it shipped to me in 2 days, I used it but only for 20 min,I rinsed it and i low heat dry. It turns out my hair started look yellow reddish, and i love it!!!!!!!! I have had black hair for my entire life and now I see the change!! If it worked on my hair which is naturally black only in 20 min and only 3/4 of both bottle, it should definitely work on yours I suppose!!
My advise:
1) It does smell bad but if you ever dye your hair by yourself, you know what hair dye products smell like, so it shouldn't be so bad! But yes, it's kinda bad.
2)If you are looking for very obvious color change buy more than one bottle and leave the product longer! the longer the better.
3)Be confidence, believe in your choice, I didn't know what would happen to my hair before I use it but how bad could it be?! But maybe try it on Friday night when you don't have plans for Saturday! Just in case you know. :p
4)I didn't use the condition as most of the reviews said, I don't want take this risk.
5)REMEMBER: I'm a natural black hair Asian, black hair is in my blood, if I get this work on my hair, yours would to!
6)It does make your hair dry, but it's not that bad, you can always condition your hair, but you don't always get rid off the hair color you hated RIGHT?!
7)Good luck with it, I hope all of you find it helpful and useful! :)Dec 31, 2011ReneeHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Didn't Work!This product is AWFUL. It leaves your hair smelling like rotten eggs or sulfer. It didnt do anythign to my hair at all!! I used it correctly followed the instructions right. I didnt pull any color out at all.
Im extreamly disapointed with this product. i can only HOPEEEE that i will recive my money back, this was very expensive.
This is an awful product. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!
Also it damaged my hair, made it brake ..
P.S im naturaly blonde, and i dyed my hair black.. I didnt dye it for months tho, and i even used a shampoo to help get out the color. so stripping my hair would be easy. Not with the awful product.Dec 27, 2011Stacie C.HAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Don't Let The Smell Fool You..Ok so I tried to go from a medium auburn brown to a nice dark blonde to get a dirty blond color but it didn't work. I went to a hair salon to get it professionally done and it absolutely made no difference to my hair! I read a lot of these reviews and didn't want to bleach my hair so I got the colorfix and yes IT REALLY DOES WORK. The only problem is the smell, i mean i can't even smell my hair right now because it's grossing me out but it's totally worth the result and im sure it'll come out in a few washes. I've had red in my hair for about a year now and it never comes out but after i used this i'm surprised to say there is not even a hint of red left in my hair. It turned into a nice golden brown (i was thinking it would turn orange because of the previous color) but my roots got a little too light which i can fix by myself. I really recommend it, especially since it didn't damage my hair, just left it a bit dry. Covers very evenly too, just skip the last step with the processing lotion to keep it light :)Dec 21, 2011NatalyHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Reversed...I had a good result from the product at first and then when I tried to redye my hair it didnt take and my hair turned back to the exact color it was before I used color fix.

Miracle Product!First I will start by saying I am a licensed managing cosmetologist. I was weary about using this product, but as a natural light blonde I wanted my natural color back so bad!! I had dyed my hair red months ago and it would not fade out! I liked the red but as a cosmetologist I get tired of my color fairly quickly! I knew if I used bleach all over my hair would be white at the roots and orangy at the ends (and that is after several, several bleach applications!) So I decided to try this color fix treatment.
Let me say the smell is bad; however, it smells just like a perm so I am used to that!
All in all I will now swear by this stuff!!! If anyone has ever had red, you know how hard it is to get out! My hair is Blonde again! It isn't the perfect natural blonde color I had, but it isn't at all red... so I am extremely happy!
Lastly, I skipped the last step! I had read reviews saying it would make your hair darker, and I plan to dye mine again in a few days to a more natural blonde so I just left that step out.
My hair is healthy and not too dry as I expected! (if I would have used bleach my scalp would be burned and my hair would more than likely be falling out and dry) I did use a hot oil treatment on it after the color fix treatment and left it on for 5 hours! I love this product and I highly recommend it!!!!Dec 17, 2011Elizabeth E.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Don't Bleach To Lighten Your Hair!I dyed my hair hair blue black in October, until yesterday wanted it back to my brown. I was dreading I'd have to bleach but heard about Colorfix. I slathered the 1+2 in a bowl onto my hair (skipping 3 because it'll darken hair). I slatherd it into my hair like I was using shampoo or conditioner. Put on a cap blow dried every 10 minutes for a minute or two. I left it on a whole hour because I didn't notice lightning after 20-30 mins.
Rinsed with clarifying shampoo mixed with dish soap and my hair was a very light goldeny brown, I was relived it didn't turn orange or red. So happy it wasnt black!
DO NOT dye your hair right after, the next morning I woke up and the color had somehow darkened on its own almost 3 shades so now it's a dark auburn type color. I really liked the light brown, not sure if repeating colorfix will lighten it even more.
Only complaint is the smell, I felt very sick with it on my hair and the smell stays no matter what, until you dye it over.
Whoever rates this product poorly obviously didn't use it correctly. Also note my hair was a tad drier after but I used some leave in treatments so it's all good!

Miami Heat's Chris Bosh voted one of best teammates in NBA
The self-proclaimed coolest dude alive is also one of the coolest teammates in the NBA.

Life after LeBron James really was not that bad for Miami.
11:55 pm May. 8, 2014
Which game was the bigger statement?
The Heat opened their series against Brooklyn with a 21-point blowout in Game 1, then followed by navigating a muddy, drag-out style to win 94-82 tonight. Miami has beaten the Nets playing its game and theirs.
1:11 am Apr. 29, 2014
It is hard to imagine a better first-round series for the Heat.
5:41 pm Jan. 10, 2014
UPDATE: Dwyane Wade out because of knee "soreness."
At some point tonight Cole Train could blow by Jet, King James could go all royalty over the Truth, Birdman could swoop in for a rebound over Plums and JJ could be covering JJ.
The Heat and Nets will unveil the NBA's newest marketing gimmick, nickname jerseys. The choice of names was the players, although they had to pass the trademark and taste test.
1:47 pm Nov. 1, 2013
Statement game or not?
Depends on who is doing the talking.
1:04 am Oct. 19, 2013
The Heat have two home preseason games remaining before the regular season begins, and each has a bit of a story line.
Saturday night's game against San Antonio has an obvious sub-plot: The Spurs return to the floor where they lost the last two games of the NBA finals. Yes, it's an exhibition game, but better than most.
10:11 pm Jan. 17, 2013
Dwyane Wade is always surprised, when he hears about the number of All-Star appearances for elite players that preceded him, such as Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway, and it doesn't compare to what he's accrued.
And, so he when he considers his own total, which rose to nine with Thursday's official announcement that he will start the contest Feb. 17 in Houston, another thought comes to mind.
"Hmm, not bad," Wade said.
Wade …
5:55 pm Jan. 14, 2013
This, again, was easier than cow-tipping.
That's the line that Chris Bosh used in his creative video pitch for fan votes to the 2008 All-Star game.
And while that campaign fell short — he's been a starter only in 2007, and a reserve six other times — he took to Twitter on Sunday to make one final push to catch Kevin Garnett for the third starting frontcourt spot in the East, with …
11:35 am Oct. 24, 2012
After finally embracing his switch to center for the Heat, Chris Bosh acknowledged that it would "be kind of cool" to start at that position for the Eastern Conference in the All-Star game. Bosh has made the team seven times, but only once as a starter.
Now the league has changed the rules.
The NBA, quite appropriately considering the evolution of the game, has chosen not to include a "center" on either …

Strong finish in 3,200-meter run secures first-ever track title for Cards
June 5, 2014 | Vol. 118 -- No. 7
Medical Lake High School
Medical Lake's boy's track team earned the school's first-ever state title last Saturday at Eastern Washington University's Roos Field, edging Zillah 50-48 on the strength of the Cardinals' finish in the 3,200-meter run.
For Medical Lake co-head track coach Gene Blankenship, winning the state 1A track team championship last Saturday certainly came from left field.
Or maybe from about 10,500 feet away, the distance Jacob and Micah Dingfield covered to finish the 3,200-meter run?
The brothers' No. 3 and No. 6 finishes proved to be the event that finally pushed the Cardinals to a most unlikely finish at Eastern Washington University's Roos Field, site of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association 1A/1B/2B state championships.
Medical Lake edged Zillah out of the Yakima area 50-48 in the final team...
