Fusion Drive now available to all iMac models
Apple has made its Fusion Drive technology, which cleverly merges a flash drive with a standard hard drive, available on the entire 21.5-inch iMac range.
The technology, previously restricted to the 2.9 GHz model, is now available in both off-the-shelf models including the base 2.7GHz version.
The 1TB Fusion Drive addition will add an extra £200 to the final price, customers looking for a faster hard drive experience noticed on Apple's online store early this morning.
Announced at its media event in October, at which Pocket-lint was in attendance, the Fusion Drive combines 128GB of flash storage with either 1TB or 3TB of HDD storage. It is also available on the new 27-inch iMac and Mac mini.
READ: Apple iMac - 21.5-inch (2012) review
"Frequently used items are kept at the ready on speedy flash storage, while infrequently accessed items go to the hard drive," Apple explains. "The file transfers take place in the background, so you won't even notice."
The redesigned iMac was released in late-November in two basic models. The 2.7GHz, 21.5-inch model starts at £1,099, while the better spec'd 2.9GHz, 27-inch model starts at £1,499. Both are incredibly sleek, featuring a larger back plate that hides all the internals, and tapering down to an incredibly thin 5mm edge.
The 21.5-inch iMac screen provides a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, LED-backed with IPS technology, and an unimpressive sounding pixel density of around 102ppi. The 27-inch iMac, on the other hand, is a bump up to 2560 x 1440, also coming out not-very Retina-like at 109ppi. However, reviewers including our own Stuart Miles have noted the impressiveness of the screen thanks to new glass implemented by Apple.
For only £200 more, prospective iMac buyers will certainly appreciate the extra option on the base model.

- Damu challenges Faleiro to open debate
Margao: BJP general secretary Damodar Naik alias Damu on Wednesday challenged state Congress president Luizinho Faleiro to an open debate over his charges against the BJP-led government of bringing in no development during the last four-and-a-half years. "I challenge him to come out with facts and figures about what he calls 'no development'," Naik said. "For the last four-and-a-half years, the BJP government had to clean up the mess created by the earlier Congress government, while also introducing welfare schemes for the people. The government also shored up the treasury which was rendered empty by the previous government," Naik said. He further termed the Congress as a "leaderless party" for having had to invite its AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh to lead its agitations in the state. On why the BJP was inclined to bring in Congress Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho when the saffron party had pressed corruption charges against him earlier, Naik's reply was feeble. "It's a strategic political decision of the government," Naik said
- Goans safe in UK for next two years: Faleiro
Panaji: Highlighting the fact that the United Kingdom had yet to formally initiate steps to withdraw from the European Union after the outcome of the Brexit referendum, former Union minister Eduardo Faleiro said that Goan immigrants in the UK were in no danger for the next two years.
- BJP failed to check price rise: Faleiro
Panaji: Slamming the state government for failing to curb the rising prices of essential food items, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Luizinho Faleiro on Saturday promised to provide free water for the poor and to bring in a policy to curb inflationary trends in the state. Faleiro visited the municipal market to purchase a few vegetables and food items earlier in the day.

- Kejriwal a joke on Delhi says Goa Congress chief Luizinho Faleiro
Panaji: Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Luizinho Faleiro said that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was the biggest joke inflicted on the people of Delhi. Faleiro went on to state that the Aam Aadmi Party was part of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's attempt to split secular votes. Responding to a question whether Kejriwal was correct about defence minister Manohar Parrikar being in possession of files that listed out irregularities committed by elected Congress MLAs and GPCC members. "Arvind Kejriwal is the biggest joke on Delhi. AAP is the creation of the RSS to break the secular vote," Faleiro said. Faleiro also shot down any possibility of aligning with secular or like-minded parties for the 2017 state assembly elections. Kejriwal has clearly stated AAP's intention to contest the Goa assembly elections and will arrive in Goa on June 29, for a youth meeting in Ponda Taluka, Goa. AAP's focus in Salcete, considered the bastion of the Congress, has rankled Faleiro and his party members.
- Rane, Faleiro summoned for questioning
The anti-corruption branch (ACB) of the directorate of vigilance has expedited the investigation into the alleged irregularities in special economic zone (SEZ) land allotment of 2006. Seven SEZ projects were approved while Pratapsingh Rane was chief minister and Luizinho Faleiro was industries minister. A source said both have been issued summons by the ACB to appear for questioning
- Can Luizinho Faleiro's blueprint revive the Congress?
Devika Sequeira The Congress' surprising yet unequivocal stand that it proposes to contest the 2017 state elections on its own, will no doubt derail plans for a large anti-BJP alliance in Goa. The announcement is bound to displease political individuals and entities who had pinned hopes on the coming together of disparate 'secular' groups to thwart the BJP's return. GPCC president Luizinho Faleiro's statement that he had been sent to Goa to rebuild the party and not cobble together an alliance, comes on the back of the Bihar election result and a growing sense of confidence that the party is on recovery mode. Faleiro, who took over the Goa PCC a little over a year ago in October last, had so far played his cards close to his chest, revealing little of his strategy and saying even less, allowing others to make their moves. The party officially steered clear of the recent municipal elections, saying it believed civic polls ought to be a non-political affair. The real reason, no doubt, was that participation by proxy—many Congress politicians put up their own panels—spared it the ignominy of explaining a party defeat, even as it gave it a sense of its opponents' strengths and disadvantages. The BJP's Bihar rout and the Congress' far better-than-expected performance seem to have given Faleiro the teeth to bite into the Goa challenge, sending out—for a change—the clear signals that the party would no longer be open to barter and compromise with all manner and assortment of groups and freelance players, not least among them the NCP which had survived in Goa purely on the oxygen of an alliance with the grand old party. Faleiro's blueprint would no doubt throw into a tailspin the growing ambitions of Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardessai. One of the strongest votaries of a 'grand alliance' for 2017 (the name GOA—Goa opposition alliance is already being bandied about), Sardessai has had an uneasy relationship with the PCC president. Denied a Congress ticket in 2012, the independent member has no doubt come into his own in the current state assembly. But his criticism of the Congress and Pratapsingh Rane in particular hasn't gone down too well with the party or Faleiro. The reasons are not so difficult to fathom. Elected 10 times to the state assembly, an ageing Rane, now 76, still commands a political presence in Sattari and around. Despite the advance of the BJP rath in North Goa in March 2012, the Ranes held their fortress and their seats. Even if Pratapsingh Rane were to decide to retire 15 months from now (something he's often hinted at) would the Congress be politically naïve to barter away a solid political chip and a green channel to the unpredictable Dhavlikar brothers and the MG Party for the cacophony of a grand alliance? One doubts it. Vijai Sardessai may have pulled off an AAP with his Fatorda Forward, taking 11 of the 12 seats there in the recent civic poll which effectively gave him shared control with Digambar Kamat of the affairs of the Margao municipality. But it is unlikely he can peddle political influence too far beyond the boundaries of Fatorda. At least not currently, and certainly not without a solid political party, whatever his motely group of advisers—including a local media house with mercenary ambitions—may lead him to believe. Given the current level of communication between the BJP and MGP, it is unlikely the pre-2012 bonhomie between the two parties would extend to another election. The MGP which has ambitions to extend its political domain well beyond the Ponda taluka may well go it alone the next time, hammering a behind the scenes understanding (as it has done in the past) with the Congress. A new election is fraught with expectation and pitfalls. Faleiro promises a new crop of faces for a revival in the party. Therein lies the rub. If the Congress fails to live up to that commitment, it may well shut shop. But as the Bihar election showed, there is hope yet for the voter. At least so much we've been given to understand: Babush Monseratte may not make a backdoor re-entry to the Congress via the NCP. As for Mauvin Godinho, is he still queued up to join the BJP after Bihar? The writer is a senior journalist. The views expressed are personal.
- Kamat to lead sea change in Cong: Faleiro
Margao: The Congress is seeking to take inspiration from Dr Ram Manohar Lohia, the socialist leader who initiated the civil disobedience movement from Margao in 1946, to revitalize itself and fight "divisive forces" and "politics of polarization" in the country. Goa Congress chief Luizinho Faleiro, told media persons on Thursday that a large public meeting will be held at Lohia maidan, Margao, on November 14 to commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru. Faleiro further said that an oath of tolerance will be administered to the people at the meeting "so as to cherish, safeguard and upkeep the principles of unity, peace, compassion and brotherhood amongst our citizenry". On the clamour of Congress for an alliance with regional parties, Faleiro remarked : "How many parties are left to have an alliance? The MGP and GVP are honeymooning with the BJP. Some of the independents are part of the ruling government…" Stating that Margao MLA Digambar Kamat, who was also present on the occasion, would be the convener of the meeting, Faleiro said, "Digambar will start a movement which will bring about a sea change in the Congress and its organization." Asked to outline the "sea change" he would like to see, Faleiro merely suggested that strengthening the party organization would be the party's immediate task. "We will soon have committees in every block ready, and then at the booth-level," he said. Kamat, speaking on the occasion, said that Lohia Maidan had special significance in Goa's freedom movement. "It was here that Lohia started the mantra of Jai Hind to Goans to fight the Portuguese rule," Kamat said, thereby emphasizing that the Congress would go into overdrive to strengthen its organization. Faleiro said that new faces would be groomed to contest the next assembly elections. "You have to earn the ticket; you have to work with the people. We would like to provide them all support so that they can also be candidates for the next elections," he said.
- Faleiro likens NDA rule to spread of Nazism
Tacitly comparing the NDA government's rule in the country to the spread of Nazism and Antonio de Oliveira Salazar's dictatorship, Goa pradesh congress committee president Luizinho Faleiro urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop the culture of intolerance and rein in members of his government.
- Modi is nothing like 'Hindu nationalist' Vajpayee: Faleiro
Panaji: Criticizing the prevailing intolerance in the country, former Rajya Sabha member and Union minister Eduardo Faleiro said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was nothing like earlier NDA leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who despite being a Hindu nationalist put the nation before his views. "Under the NDA government at the Centre and in several states extremists dictate their views and in the process sharpen the polarization among different communities on religious and caste lines," Faleiro told mediapersons. The five-time Lob Sabha member went on to add that during a visit to Gujarat along with Vajpayee, following the Godhra riots, the then prime minister had described the incident as barbaric and inhuman. The former Union minister of state for external affairs also expressed his concern over the government's stance on cattle slaughter. "Mahatma Gandhi, though a devout Hindu, refused to impose a ban on cow slaughter," Faleiro said. The Congress statesman went on to point out that India was the largest exporter of beef in the world. Faleiro also questioned the Bharatiya Janta Party's change in stance over the issue of special status for Goa. "Land is a state subject vide entry of 18 of the state list in the constitution of India. The state has the power to legislate on land and is competent to enact legislation to restrict land transactions so as to protect local people," Faleiro said.

This was our first trip to Disney and a friend recommended Garden Grocer. Our food was delivered before we even arrived which was AWESOME! Once we got to our room, the food came and we had a chance to bring our waters, juice, and snacks right to the park that day. It was great having the drinks and small snacks to off-set costs while at the park. The mini donuts were perfect for a breakfast snacks since we saved meal plan for other meals. Thanks Garden Grocer!!!
We are very pleased with the responsible service provided by Garden Grocer. Called prior to delivery and sent me text message confirmation immediately after delivery. Very impressive, thank you!
Communication throughout the ordering and delivery processes was exceptional. High quality items were delivered on time and packaged nicely in thick paper bags that were clearly labelled. All of my refridgerated items were cold upon delivery to our Disney resort. I highly recommend Garden Grocer.

Author Bio
Virginia Lee Burton (1909-1968) was the talented author and illustrator of some of the most enduring books ever written for children. The winner of the 1942 Caldecott Medal for THE LITTLE HOUSE, Burton's books include heroes and happy endings, lively illustrations, and a dash of nostalgia. She lived with her two sons, Aristides and Michael, and her husband George Demetrios, the sculptor, in a section of Gloucester, Massachusetts, called Folly Cove. Here she taught a class in design and from it emerged the Folly Cove designers, a group of internationally known professional artisans. She is the author of many classic children's picture books, including MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL and KATY AND THE BIG SNOW.

John Trench and Rust D were hanging out at the house relaxing. John was naked on the couch jerking it to some hot gay porn when Rust walked in and saw him. Instead of saying anything he just stripped nude and laid down next to him and started stroking his rod. He worked his shaft as the guys moved so they could face each other and even press their balls together. Their balls rubbing each other and hands working those shafts felt so good neither guy could hold out long so when they were ready to cum they took turns showering each other with man gravy.

Fast-Food Employee Steals Getaway Car, Foils Robbery

A quick-thinking worker at a California Burger King prevented robbery suspects' escape by car.
Kicking and Screaming: Matt Bai speaks about this so casually, like it's politics as usual in America. The way it's been for decades ... and decades ... and decades. Truth is that it is politics as usual. Too bad. Apparently, Mr. Bai thinks there's nothing wrong with Wasserman Schultz's manipulation of the process and that Priebus should have been better at it. I'm not saying that 'old guard' politicians who know when, where and how the wheels of politics are greased are of no value to getting things accomplished, but when it also involves the intentional disregard for the will of the people ... something is wrong. I wonder if any of those 'best and brightest' bulbs in the country's political machinery have ever considered the condition of the country might just be a reflection of their own corruption.

Jan 14, 2013 Ben B rated it it was ok
This has to be the most painfully frenetic, confusingly concocted book I've ever read. The writer interrupts himself with parentheticals almost every other sentence; he drops names and factoids without ever describing their significance; worst of all, instead of referring to things in plain English, he makes use of an unending stream of unexplained, mixed, and half-hearted metaphors, as though he were undecided about whether this should be a history book or something more "poetic." It's obvious ...more

My favorite song about Los Angeles is "L.A." by The Fall. It's got an ominous synth line, a great guitar riff, and Mark Smith's immortal lyrics: "L.L.L.A.A.A.L!L!L!A!A!A!" It's the perfect soundtrack for reading this excellent book. Davis has written a social history of the LA area, which does not proceed in a linear fashion. Instead, he picks out the social history of groups that have become identified with LA: developers, suburb dwellers, gangs, the LAPD, immigrants, etc. By the end of the boo ...more
May 23, 2012 David McCormick rated it it was amazing
It's great to see that this old book still generates lively debate. "City of Quartz" is so inherently political that opinions probably reflect the reader's political position. Davis makes no secret of his political leanings: in the new revised introduction he spells them out in the first paragraph. For a leftist, his arguments about the geographic marginalization of the Los Angeles' poor and their exploitation, neglect and abuse by civic and religious hierarchies will be fascinating and sadly un ...more

A reliably lefty history of Los Angeles, City of Quartz was a fascinating read for a recent transplant from the east coast. Mike Davis' collection of essays eschews the day-to-day history, choosing instead to focus on several underlying factors to the ur Angeleno character: Architecture-as-fortress, crime-as-byproduct-of-disenfranchisement; the Catholic church as institution of greed, power, and racism; the boom/bust of manufacturing; etc. Davis makes a compelling case for why the city operates ...more

Mike Davis is from Bostonia. It's a community totally forgotten now but if you must know it was out in El Cajon, CA on the way to Lakeside. It had an awesome swapmeet where I spent a month of Sundays and my dad was a patron of the barbershop there. I like to think that Davis and I see things the same way becuase of that.

Despite having been an urban studies major in college, I put off reading City of Quartz for a long time because I was under the impression that it contained a lot of minutiae about Los Angeles politics that I didn't care to learn about. I was right about that, and struggled through the two chapters of the book ("Power Lines" and "Homegrown Revolution") that focused primarily on local politics -- the ten or so pages of these chapters that were interesting to me were buried in 40+ pages of excruci ...more

I've been interested in reading more about the history of Los Angeles since having read Lou Cannon's Official Negligence, a book that's rich with L.A. history. City Of Quartz seemed as good a place to start as any. The first few chapters, which deal with the founding movements and philosophical ideas (e.g. Socialism, Boosterism, and the obsession with "Mission" culture) that form the roots of much of L.A.'s gestalt, were fascinating, and seem to hold the polemic to at least a somewhat reasonable ...more

Mike Davis a scarily good – he's a top notch historian, a fine scholar and a political activist. His analysis of LA in City of Quartz is excellent – he unpacks the political economy of the sprawling suburban mass that takes up so much of southern California and influences so much of the world by delving into the lives, the influences, the cultural and economic existence that is the past and present LA. As one who avoids the place like the plague, Davis is one of the few reasons why I'd go: he ma ...more

It feels like Mike Davis is screaming at you throughout the 400 pages of CITY OF QUARTZ: EXCAVATING THE FUTURE IN LOS ANGELES. He's mad and full of righteous indignation. Los Angeles will do that to you. A native, Davis sees how Los Angeles is the city of the 20th century: the vanguard of sprawl and land grabs, surveillance and the militarization of the police force, segregation and further disenfranchisement of immigrants, minorities and the poor. The book opens at the turn of the last century, ...more

I finished it. It is the most difficult Mike Davis book I have read. I read small portions of it in graduate school, a class on Theories of Urban Design. It is the concluding book of the trilogy I decided to read on my return from a trip to visit family in LA.

Robert Caro's The Power Broker was the definitive book for understanding the modalities of power in the 20th century city. In Caro's story, power was anthropomorphized (and vilified) in the despotic person of Robert Moses, master-builder of New York City. City of Quartz updates that sprawling, kaleidoscopic depiction of the city on the west coast. But in some ways Davis' mural is more complex, more subtle. In L.A., power is ephemeral and fragmented; substance is ephemeral; reality (this is L.A., ...more

This book made me realize how difficult reading can be when you don't already have a lot of the concepts in your head / aren't used to thinking about such things. However if I *were* thinking about such things I'd find it really rewarding to see all of them referenced. Really high density of proper nouns. I used wikipedia, or just agreed to have a less rich understanding of what was going on. In fact I think I used just enough google to get by.

Every time I pick this book up, I start to feel like it's not really written for me... it's written for some newly arrived L.A. denizen from 1990 or so. And I figure I'll put it down after the next page. And then Davis hits me with some amazing bit of weird trivia from left field - a discussion of urban planning will suddenly veer into a mini-biography of Jack Parsons (Crowley disciple, rocket scientist, free love advocate, explosive suicide), or a discussion of irrigation problems in the San Fe ...more

As a native of Los Angeles, I really enjoyed reading this great history on that city - which I have always had an intense love/hate relationship with. At times I think of it as the world's largest ashtray - other times I am struck by the physical beauty and the feeling I get when I'm there, (which is largely nostalgic these days).

I lived in LA from 1999 to 2010, longer than I've lived anywhere else -- but I took the city on its own terms and didn't really understand the full spectrum of interests that molded the city into what it was. I don't have a background in urban studies, but this book (passionately argued on a constellation of loosely related topics) was definitely a disturbing eye-opener. From the disenfranchised roots of local gangs to the politics of the Catholic archdiocese, from real estate speculation and HO ...more

I found this really difficult to get through. While Davis's approach is very wide ranging and comprehensive, I often found myself struggling to keep up with all of the historical examples and various people mentioned in this account. Having never been there myself and knowing next to nothing about the area's history, I often felt myself overwhelmed, struggling to keep track of the various people and institutions that helped shape such a fractured, peculiarly American locale.

City of Quartz is an excoriating look into the vast and complex metropolis of Los Angeles. More of a collection of essays than a coherent argument about the city, the book is broken down into sections about culture, crime, suburban development, and more. Though the accuracy of Davis' scholarship has been called into question (though I think that was largely his later book, Ecology of Fear), I did not find any of the facts to be overwhelmingly objectionable. If anything, the author was more prone ...more

This is the best book I have ever read on the history of the development of Los Angeles. It has it all: water wars, the destruction of the public transportation system in favor of the freeways, payoffs, bribes, insanity, and death. I found it sbsolutely fascinating, and not just because this is my home town. If you've ever wondered about the real story behind the film, "Chinatown," this is the book for you. Very well researched and written. I highly recommend this.

Recommends it for: Angelinos
Mike Davis is a mental giant. I knew next to nothing about Los Angeles until I dove into this treasure trove of information revealing the shaddy history and bleak future of the City of Quartz. For me, Davis is almost too clever and at times he is hard to follow, but that is why I like his work. Check out how he traces the rise of gangs in Los Angeles after the blue-collar, industrial jobs bailed out in the 1960s. Must read if you consider LA home.
Jan 01, 2010 Lindsey Bahr rated it it was amazing
A bit apocalyptic, but Davis is a terrific essayist who has taken great pains to chronicle the history of Los Angeles in a compelling way - from the noir image we're presented by films and books, to the intense class polarization of the city layout. It's from the early 90s though...so now I'm really behind on the progress (?) of the last 20 years.
Oct 22, 2014 Karlo Mikhail rated it it was amazing
Mike Davis' 'City of Quartz' is a superb account of what the band Rage Against the Machine euphemestically called 'The Battle of Los Angeles', the insoluble contradiction between classes. This is a battle that has so far titled in favor of big capital and which has driven the growth of Los Angeles from its beginnings as backwater station at the edge of the American frontier to become one of the world's largest megapolis today.

Fun, if you treat it as a work of fiction. Read it like you'd read a dystopian sci-fi novel, like 'Snowcrash.' Which admittedly, sometimes Los Angeles feels like. To paraphrase Royal Blue, "L.A. ain't so bad." Experience it for yourself.

This book ties together threads about land developers, early 20th century boosterism, the Catholic church, racial tension, police misbehavior, and then some to paint a picture of the forces that shaped LA from a sleepy desert output into maybe the quintessential American megacity in less than a century. I don't agree with everything in this book, and it doesn't all stand up to the benefit of hindsight 25 years later, but I liked it nonetheless. In particular, the chapter on homeowners as a polit ...more

Amazing decoding of oppressive infrastructure in L.A. Extremely dramatized, thick with conspiracy - but is never far from the truth about spatial control.
Jun 23, 2015 Ron rated it it was amazing
An indispensable book about L.A. Relentlessly, and, at times, absurdly pessimistic and bleak, but full of passages of deep, dark, frightening beauty. Davis likes nothing better than to revel in descriptions of the dark beauty of the city he loathes and fears, but obviously loves, in his own perverse, obsessive way. The chapters on Prop 13 and homeowners associations (Homegrown Revolution) and the spatial control in L.A. (Fortress L.A.) are especially powerful. If you're interested in L.A., you h ...more

Angelenos – who we are and how we got that way-- or rather Southern Californians, as this book really covers the whole region. As a second generation native, found this exhaustively researched and wide-ranging commentary really fascinating. A three-month project and I learned a lot! It was published in 1990, so is missing the last 20 years, which would be instructional, but it is still valuable to see how we got on the road we're on.

"Here, one wants to create the Paris of the Far West. Evening traffic on Hollywood Boulevard attempts to mimic Parisian boulevard life. However, life on the Boulevard is extinct before midnight, and the seats in front of the cafes, where in Paris one can watch street life in a leisurely manner, are missing. . . . At night the illuminated portraits of movie stars stare down from lampposts upon crowds dressed in fake European elegance – a declaration that America yearns to be something other than American here. . . . Yet, in spite of the artists, writers and aspiring film stars, the sensibility of a real Montmartre, Soho, or even Greenwich Village, cannot be felt here. The automobile mitigates against such a feeling, and so do the new houses. Hollywood lacks the patina of age.75"
"Despite the mountain of gold that has been built downtown, Los Angeles remains vulnerable to the same explosive convergence of street anger, poverty, environmental crisis, and capital flight that made the early 1990s its worth crisis period since the early Depression."More quotes…

Seismic exploration and imaging system for producing survey reports of subsea geological structures
Image Number 4 for
United States Patent #7660188
The present invention provides a seismic exploration and imaging system for producing seismic survey reports of subsea geological structures. The exploration system provides a method in which both P-waves and S-waves are detected without the need for placing detection apparatus in contact the seabed. A seismic event is applied (12) to the earth's surface (13), and the detected response including P-waves and S-waves in the earth's. The detecting apparatus comprises a means for monitoring and recording the response to the seismic event in the form of movements of particles at the earth's surface, from a position spaced from the earth's surface. Particles at the surface will respond both to P-wave and S-wave stimulation and so their movements will be representative of the two waves. These movements are detected from a distance.

Netflix's new docu-series tackles a fascinating story of a community college that serves as the final stop for dozens of potential superstars.
"Swing Kids" involves a very small footnote to a very large historical event. In Nazi Germany in 1939, we learn, while Hitler was rounding up Jews and launching World War II, a small group of kids wore their hair long and danced to the swing music of such banned musicians as Benny Goodman and Count Basie. Occasionally they got into fights with the brownshirts of the Hitler Youth brigades.
If the Swing Kids had evolved into an underground movement dedicated to the overthrow of Nazism, we might be onto something here. But no. A title card at the end of the film informs us that some of the kids died at the hands of the Nazis, and others were forced into the German Army and killed in battle, but that some survived, and after the war there were still Swing Kids in Germany.
Isn't that terrific? No doubt they continue even to this day, celebrating their 70th birthdays by boogieing to the "Bugle Call Rag." Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned, could have been the original Swing Kid. One of the peculiar elements of this film is that the Kids don't seem very political. The screenplay is so murky, indeed, that I was never sure whether the Kids hated the Hitler Youth lads because they were Nazis, or simply because they didn't swing. At a time when civilization was crashing down around their ears and Hitler was planning the Holocaust, it doesn't make them particularly noble that they'd rather listen to big bands than enlist in the military. Who wouldn't? In an ambiguous scene early in the film, the Swing Kids hear that Hitler Youth types are beating up on a fellow Kid in an alley.
They race to the rescue, beat the Youth members to a pulp, and then discover the victim was not a Swing Kid but a Jew. They stand around confusedly while the hero's little brother explains that, gee, he "thought it was a Swing Kid.
How do the Swing Kids feel about Hitler's campaign against the Jews? Essentially, they'd like to look the other way - to keep on dancing. To excuse their indifference, the movie does not much emphasize what the Nazis were doing at the time. We see a few Jewish men beaten or carted away, mostly in long shots, and a few "Traitor" signs on shopfronts, but until the very end of the film the Swing Kids aren't much moved - and even then some of them become loyal Nazis. It is typical of the film that although in a few shots you can glimpse the stars that Jews were forced to wear on their clothing, the movie never points them out, or explains them.
In an attempt to show Nazi propaganda at work, the film does include some of Hitler's anti-Semitic propaganda, which is reproduced in such great detail and with such fidelity to its sources that I grew uncomfortable. The racist remarks against Jews in the movie are allowed to go unanswered - except by the dire implication, of course, that if it weren't for Jews, you wouldn't have the music of Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw.
The movie does show a gradual change of heart on the part of Peter (Robert Sean Leonard), a Swing Kid whose musician father has already been packed away by the Nazis, and whose mother (Barbara Hershey) has accepted the new order and has dinner guests like a top Gestapo official (Kenneth Branagh). Peter hangs out with a group of fellow swing fans, trading records and trivia questions. Eventually, like some of the others, he ends up wearing a brown shirt - but he can't stomach the Nazis, and is last seen being trucked away to oblivion, the little brother waving forlornly in the street.
One can only speculate on what kinds of compromises went into the making of this film. Was a decision made at some point to play up the swing music and play down the Nazi atrocities, to improve the film's box office chances? Was the plot deliberately skewed to pander to the movie youth audience? Did anyone consciously decide that today's kids would like a movie about young German music fans of the 1930s, but would be turned off by too much politics? I can't say.
There are moments here where the movie seems to believe Hitler was bad, not because he mapped genocidal madness, but because he wouldn't let the Swing Kids dance all night. If Hitler had encouraged the swing clubs, would the Kids have still developed problems with Nazism? Thoughts come to mind about the deck band on the Titanic.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Rockies Arms Keep Cub Bats Quiet at Talking Stick
Matthew Carasiti threw five shutout innings and combined with three relievers to throw a four-hitter, and Raimel Tapia and Dillon Thomas drilled RBI singles, as the Rockies edged the Cubs 2-1 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning at Dust Storm Field at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Resort, east of Scottsdale, AZ.
Jeffrey Baez belted a solo HR to account for the Cubs lone run.
RHP Dillon Maples got the start for the Cubs and threw four innings (67 pitches), allowing one run on two hits (both singles), three walks, and a HBP. He struck out three and really had the sinker working (8/0 GO/FO). Maples did struggle with his comand throughout the first two innings (a 22-pitch 1st and a 25-pitch 2nd), but then retired six of the last seven men he faced on just 20 pitches. After completing his 67-pitch four inning stint, Maples went out to the bullpen and threw 20 more pitches, so he should be well stretched-out if the Cubs decide to move him up to Kane County before the end of Extended Spring Training. (FWIW, he also threw 78 pitches in an intrasquad game last Thursday).
LHP Kyler Burke (strained oblique rehab) "piggy-backed" with Maples and also threw four innings (58 pitches), allowing one run (it was unearned) on three hits (all singles) and a walk, with two strikeouts. He looks like he is about ready to leave EXST and join either Kane County, Daytona, or Tennessee (depending upon where a slot is available).
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1a. Rashad Crawford, CF: 0-2 (3-1, K, BB, SB)
1b. Jeffrey Baez, CF-DH: 1-1 (HR, R, RBI)

4a. Jose Dore, DH: 0-3 (K, K, 3-U)
4b. Xavier Batista, LF: 0-1 (F-8)
5a. Trevor Gretzky, LF: 0-3 (6-3, 4-3, 3-1)
5b. Frandy de la Rosa, SS: 0-1 (3-U)
6. Jacob Rogers, 1B: 0-3 (F-8, K, K)
7a. Brad Zapenas, 2B: 0-2 (HBP, 4-3, K)
7b. Kevin Encarnacion, CF: NO AB
8a. Carlos Escobar, C: 2-2 (2B, 1B)
8b. Neftali Rosario, C: 0-1 (6-3)

1. Dillon Maples: 4.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 3 BB, 3 K, 1 HBP, 67 pitches (37 strikes), 8/0 GO/FO

3. Anthony Prieto: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 12 pitches (10 strikes), 2/1 GO/FO

Continuing my temporary man
Continuing my temporary man love for Starlin Castro since he's such a favorite target, that was a helluvan at bat last night in the ninth. If I remember right, and trust me, there's less than a 50/50 chance I do, he was behind in the count, maybe 1-2, fouled off a bunch of pitches, then drove a no doubt about it double into the right field corner. That shows to me he is still a work in progress. Great at bats one day, but then another day he'll flail at something and look really bad. Also, I wonder if anyone has noticed or heard if Valbuena is doing anything differently at the plate. The sample size for this year is growing, and his numbers are quite the outlier compared to his career numbers: .264/.373/.483/.856. I thought I heard Deshaies say something about it but I didn't catch it.
Valbuena is a really
Valbuena is a really interesting case right now. He's getting a lot of platoon ABs, so I think that might be part of the trick. His BB% and K% are slightly improved, but not enough to justify the transformation of his batting line. His ISO has exploded, which would not be unheard of for a guy in his age-28 season. That explains why he has 5 HRs in 100 ABs, as opposed to 4 in 300 ABs last year. But the biggest question mark is the batting average. It's not being fueled by BABIP. It appears maybe he's actually improved both as a hitter and as a slugger this season. Small sample size still relevant; but as someone who has talked about a lot of shit about LV on these comments, I look forward to him having the opportunity to continue to get plate appearances and hopefully prove me wrong.
Edit: One more thought. From 2008 to 2012, he split each year between AAA and MLB, always putting up a good line at AAA and a bad line at MLB. Certainly someone who has had so many good ABs at AAA, and now so many plate appearances upstairs, has the possibility of translating some of their success given enough time to adjust. If he's truly a "late bloomer," (still a premature conclusion at this point) then he can probably expect a good 2-3 years from him before it all falls apart. Just long enough to keep the seat warm for Villanueva or Baez, hopefully.
"Great at bats one day, but
"Great at bats one day, but then another day he'll flail at something and look really bad."
If Castro wasn't flailing with two strikes in the eighth yesterday, it was because Rosenthal was throwing strictly fastballs and mostly strikes. There were no low outside pitches to flail at. (Rosenthal threw one breaking ball out of eleven pitches to Castro, and it was low-inside).
An eleven-pitch at-bat is pretty good, and it's tough to make even minor contact with eight 95+ fastballs in one trip to the plate. Even Sveum admits that Castro has remarkable hand-to-eye coordination. But before I call it a hell of an at-bat I would want to see him nudge the count to 3 balls, which he never did but could have done by the fifth pitch.
Rizzo came to the plate after Castro's double, and I liked his AB better. He took an outside fastball and then hit the next one to the wall in center. Rizzo comes to the plate with an idea of what he wants to do, an idea that goes beyond "see the ball, hit the ball." Baez is off to a slow start at Daytona but he has six bombs now. He, too, has an idea.

I am 70 years old. The Cubs last played in the World Series in 1945. I was born in 1946. I hate to lose a prospect like Torres, but when the opportunity is there to get that World Series ring, you go for it. This was the idea in stock piling all this young talent. I would like to see Reddick added now and the Cubbies should be done.
I would expect Richard to accept an optional assignment because based on how he's played this season, there is a decent chance that he won't find work elsewhere. Rather stay and potentially get a ring. Same goes for Coghlan since he's struggled mightily this year.
Edwards should not go down. He's pitched very well and Maddon is very impressed with him. I would expect Grimm to go down for Cahill so he can get back on track (he's pitched better in July, but he's not getting enough appearances).
chitownmvp01: Indeed Clayton Richard would seem to be odd man out once Chapman reports, but Richard might accept a minor league assignment if he is promised a return to Chicago on 9/1 when MLB Active List rosters expand (Richard has minor league ioptions left).
The only player in the deal that would cause me a second thought is Gleyber Torres.
McKinney and Crawford are decent prospects but both are redundant/replaceable in the system and Warren was really only a middle-reliever or #6 starter, so to me it's really just Torres for Chapman.
There is no Comp pick for players traded mid-season. 2+ months of Chapman is it.
to get one of the best you have to give up one/some of your best...but it's a bit painful to watch the system's best prospect walk for any 2-3 month rental, especially one that's not an everyday player.
I assume Chapman will replace Richard on the roster, but who goes down when Cahill gets activated? Maybe Grimm?
And when Soler and Coghlan get healthy, how do they fit them on the roster when they're ready to be activated?
We are giving up a lot, but it's not like we're trading Addison Russell for 2+ months of Jason Hammel. When impact players become available, they are going to cost you. The other bids could also have been high.
Having Chapman as a rental is potentially less disruptive than having him come in with an extension in place.
Billy McKinney had season-ending knee surgery last August and came to Minor League Camp this year somewhat restricted. (He was used mostly as a DH in Cactus League Minor League Camp games), and I'm not sure he's 100% right now (he's repeating AA, and his XBH numbers are way down, like he's not getting good rotation in his lowev half). That might have been part of the reason why the trade wasn't completed right away.
Rashad Crawford was a basketball star in HS (he was known as "Baby Jordan", and baseball was only his second sport) and he has plus-speed and athleticism, so when the Cubs drafted him (Keith Lockhart was the scout) he was seen as a long-term project.
I was at Fitch Park the day that Rashad Crawford became a LH hitter, He waa never a switch-hitter, He went directly from being a RH hitter to a LH hitter, which I had never seen before.
I'm with Rob G and Johann here. It's not about Chapman as a pitcher. I just don't want to have to block out a real problem (the domestic violence) in order to try to enjoy the frivolous ball and stick game.
ROB G & BOB R: You're right. The QO can only be extended if the player spends the entire previous season with one club, so only the Yankees could have offered one to Chapman (if he wasn't traded). If an Article XX-B FA is traded during the season, the new club can't offer a QO. .
i was going off what AZPhil said above...they keep talking about tweaking the rules, i didn't know if that had been changed or not. my winter/spring was way too hectic aside from a couple weeks vacation in janurary and i missed a lot of stuff.
if not, this is one hell of an expensive trade for what looks to be 30-40 innings of play...including the playoffs. damn.
Did the QO rules change?
unless there's a TARDIS involved, I dont believe that's a possibility
I didn't think you could offer a QO to a player who was traded during the season? For example, Lester was not offered a QO when the Cubs signed him.
I think the assumption is that make him a Qualify Offer and he signs elsewhere next year.
