Miles "Mac" MacGregor
Born in Los Angeles in 1980 to an engineer and an artist, Mac has been creating and studying art independently since childhood. He was inspired at a young age by classic European painters such as Caravaggio and Vermeer, and Art Nouveau symbolists such as Klimt and Mucha. This was mixed with the more contemporary influences of graffiti and photorealism, as well as the Chicano & Mexican culture he grew up around.
He began painting with acrylics and painting graffiti in the mid '90s, when his primary focus became the lifelike rendering of human faces and figures. He has since worked consistently towards developing his unique rendering style, which utilizes repeating contour lines reminiscent of ripples, Turing patterns and indigenous North American art. In 1999 he began to paint portraits of his friends and anonymous Mexican laborers in public spaces throughout the American southwest, both legally and illegally. He also started painting large aerosol interpretations of classic paintings by old European masters which led to being commissioned in 2003 by the Groeninge Museum in Brugge, Belgium to paint his versions of classic paintings in the museum's collection. He has since been commissioned to paint murals across the US, as well as in Mexico, Denmark, Sweden, Cuba, Canada, South Korea, Belgium, Italy, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Spain, France, Singapore, Germany, Ireland, England, and Vietnam.
Many of his murals have become iconic landmarks, especially his collaborations with Retna, which combine Mac's representational figures or portraits with Retna's typography and designs. The majority of their collaborations have been painted in Los Angeles, as well as a few notable murals in Miami's Wynwood Arts district from 2007-2009. Mac and Retna had an important exhibition together, "Vagos y Reinas" at the Robert Berman Gallery in Santa Monica in 2009. Alianza, a book documenting their individual and collaborative works was published by Upper Playground/Gingko Press that year. Their work was also featured on the cover of the US edition of the World Atlas of Street Art and Graffiti published by Yale University Press in 2013.
Mac has had successful solo exhibitions at Fifty24SF Gallery in San Francisco (2009), Joshua Liner Gallery in NYC (2010), and Galerie Wolfsen in Aalborg, Denmark (2013). In 2010 he painted a large mural on the museum of contemporary art (MARCO) in Monterrey, México as part of the Seres Queridos project. In 2012 he was invited to paint a large mural in Havana, Cuba for the 11th Havana Biennial sponsored by the Cisneros-Fontanals Art Foundation, as well as a large mural for Adobe inside their new campus in Utah. In 2013 he was commissioned to create a large mural-sized canvas in collaboration with Shamsia Hassani (Afghanistan) and The Propeller Group (VietNam) for the 7th Asia Pacific Triennial in Australia, where the piece is now part of the QAGoMA collection. In 2013 he painted three large murals for Prada at the Fondazione Prada in Milan.
Mac continues to balance his love of painting large-scale public artworks around the world with his meticulous and time-consuming creation of indoor works. He aims to uplift and inspire through his careful, perfectionist renderings of both the sublime and the humble. He lives and works in Los Angeles.

User:Balloonman/CSD Survey/2.7
|Other Excellent articles on CSD
Original Article[edit]
COPYVIO of this page: http://www.gamerhelp.com/gamecube/ShadowTheHedgehog/109248.shtml
Nomination Criteria[edit]
G1 Patent nonsense. Pages consisting purely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history. This does not include poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, poorly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases.
Deletion Options[edit]
|Agree with ratioinale to speedy delete.
|Disagree with rationale to speedy delete, but deletable by other criteria.
|Disagree with rationale to speedy delete, but this is a case where IAR applies.
|Disagree with speedy deletion (should be PRODDED, sent to AFD, or kept.)
Survey Comments[edit]
|Common rationale
- Speedy delete. All other options are bureaucratic fiddle-faddle.
- copyvio is a speedy deletion criteria - G11 or G12
- G3 - no content other than an external linkNo, the page had the external link, I just didn't copy it.
- Probably a newbie NPP'er found this but didn't use a G12 template. The history should be checked, and if this is true G12 used. Else, G3 can probably be used.
- Alternatively, blank with appropriate tag awaiting rewrite/other advice from author
- Assuming the en.wp page actually was the text on that URL, and not 'COPYVIO of this page...' delete as G12, if it actually read that way G1, A1 or A3 are all fine.
- This question isn't clear. If the text is the text from the website mentioned, then G12 (copyvio) applies. If the text is literally what's given, then A1 or A3 might be applied.
- Check page history: This may have replaced actual copyvio text, and if done recently, page may be under development. If old and no sane history, A3 applies. G12 or IAR may apply if no sane history as well.
Balloonman's analysis[edit]
Apparently there was some confusion about what was actually on the page. The page was the exact same as another page.
How it was deleted as G1, I don't know. I can only guess that the deleting admin didn't read the nomination statement where the original page was linked and only saw the ASCII art and assumed that ASCII art = gibberish? This should be deleted as G12, copyvio. Eventhough G11 might apply as well, G10 (Attack) and G12 (Copy vio) are treated differently than other types of CSD criteria.

Hi, can anyone help me locate a plug-in or someone to create a plug-in for my situation?
I have donated a WP site to a local soccer association.
I am looking for a plug-in that will allow the admin to rate field conditions.
It should work like this: There will be a list of seven soccer fields in the sidebar. Each field condition should default to 'Äúgreen'Ä? (it should be a green flag icon).
On bad weather days, the admin could change the condition to 'Äúred'Ä?. There should then be an option to auto reset to green at end of day or leave red (for off-season).
I have considered some of the 5-star rating plug-ins but do not know enough php programming to make the necessary modifications.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

New Jersey Teens Won't Stop Setting Themselves on Fire
Like the Ice Bucket Challenge, but way more stupid.
New Jersey teens just can't get enough of the so-called "fire challenge," in which impressionable teens light themselves on fire. The state's Division of Fire Safety thinks it's gotten so bad they issued an alert about the incidents, berating the trend as an "imbecilic act [that] is supposed to elicit laughter as onlookers and internet viewers watch the reaction from the person who is on fire." This makes those ice buckets look downright harmless.

I just installed wordpress on my site and everything works fine except for when I attempt to make a new page or post. This is where it gets interesting.
Let's say I try to make an 'About' page. I make the page, type everything up, publish it, etc.
On the home/index page, there is a link to the page now, but clicking on it yields a 404. If I go into the files, there is no wwww.website.com/wp/about/, or any "about" file anywhere. If, however, I go through wordpress and edit pages, the about page is there and I can edit it and see what I originally made.
The same thing happens with posts. Could this have something to do with db permissions or is it something else? Thank you for your help.

Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA)
The Moose Jaw Exhibition Company Limited held a board meeting Wednesday, March 23, 2016. On the agenda was the topic of the EIA that was brought forward from the SHF AGM held in Swift Current on Saturday, March 12, 2016.
There was an extensive discussion held by the Board members of The Moose Jaw Exhibition Company in regards to this matter; ranging from MJ Ex Co becoming a testing facility to rental & Company shows requiring the test to be done. During the discussion, it was stated that our Board members felt there was a lack of communication between Saskatchewan Horse Federation, facility holders and user groups prior to attempting to implement any type of testing. After much debate by the MJ Ex Co Board members, a unanimous motion was passed stating:
"The Moose Jaw Exhibition Company does not require mandatory Coggins testing."
We do look forward to working with SHF in the future in regards to all aspects of the equine industry.
Board of Directors of MJ Ex Co

- milestone: --> 1.0.6

Using 22.214.171.1248 on 32-bit WinXP SP3 trying to do window caps for an Oracle ODAC client installation (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/utilsoft-087491.html -- free registration required to download). The captures appear to work, but the resulting .PNG file is "blank" (all white, but the correct size of the window). I've tried another Java-based installer (jEdit), but window caps on that installer work fine.
A workaround is to do a region capture, but this is more time-consuming. I'm trying to dump SnagIt because Greenshot has been faster/easier to use.
Does this work with SnagIt? I'm surprised the capture is white, would have expected black.
Could you try to change the windows capture mode to "as displayed" in the settings and try again?
What version of Windows are you using?
Setting "Window capture mode" to "As Displayed" works! It was set to "Automatic".
I'll attach a copy of the screenshots with "Automatic" and "As Displayed" to show the difference.
p.s. Win version is listed above.
Whoops....apparently I should have been logged in when filing this bug, as it's not letting me attach files. [blush]
Let me know if you'd like them. The "Automatic" one is white, but the window's title bar and border are black.
Can you test with the latest 1.1.0? It's still in development but it should be better and this problem should be fixed. If you get to much problems, you should go back to 1.0.6 (but I don't expect you want to)
You can find it here:
Hi, did you managed to test the 1.1 yet? We unfortunately don't have Windows XP and the problem only shows there.
Best wishes,
Hi Robin,
Sorry for the delay! I just downloaded 1.1.0 2461, reset Window capture mode back to "Automatically" and the Java caps are all looking great. Bug resolved!
Thanks much!
Hi Rich,
thanks for reporting back, closing this bug.
Best wishes,

praised him for being a politician with an "unimpeachable
reputation for integrity, vision and passion."
The 70-to-68 vote Thursday infuriated members of the Georgia
Legislative Black Caucus, who designed the proposal to make him an
honorary member of the group. State Rep. Keith Heard, D-Athens,
said "it makes you wonder what exactly is going on in Georgia."
The measure was blocked by a group of House Republicans,
including state Representative Austin Scott of Tifton.
Scott objected to wording in the resolution that he said suggested the
entire House approved of the president's actions.

Life "It Doesn't Get More Indie Than the Indians"
posted by July 20 at 13:31 PMon
More than half of all American Indians live in cities. And Seattle has one of the biggest concentrations of Urban Indians in America.
We got the National Urban Indian Health Institute. And the UW Indigenous Wellness Research Institute. And the Daybreak Star cultural center (art collection, Head Start school program, more), which
owes its existence to Bernie Whitebear and other Native Americans, who staged a generally successful self-styled "invasion" and occupation of the land in 1970 after most of the Fort Lawton military base was declared surplus by the U.S. Department of Defense.
This weekend is the annual pow wow at Daybreak Star in Discovery Parkwith a salmon bake, fry bread (the official state bread of South Dakota), drumming and dancing, stuff to buywhich is part of the summer pow wow circuit.
The pow wow circuit is similar to a rodeo circuit, and entire families travel them from Memorial Day to Labor Day. People traveling the circuit consists of dancers, singers, gamblers, rodeo riders, announcers, and concessionaires. The circuit can be addictive…
And, quoth Noel Franklin from the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, "It doesnt get more Indie than Indians and right now Indian Country is HOT. The Seminole Tribe recently acquired Hard Rock Café."
Check your pow wow etiquette here. From item number one: "Please don't sit on someone's blanket unless invited."
From item number seven: "All persons not in regalia are asked that legs be covered before entering the dance arena."
Good to know.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will support 1080p, 5.1 sound
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate lives up to its name by being the fanciest version of the apparently immortal third entry in the series.
According to Famitsu, via Gematsu, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will run in 1080p and support 5.1 channel sound – the most hi-fi the series has gone to date.
While most of the other details released today were revealed at TGS, the magazine explained that the Wii U Game Pad and bottom screen of the 3DS perform the same in-game functions.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate arrives on 3DS and Wii U in March 2013. The 3DS version won't have online play, but the Wii U version will use Nintendo Network servers rather than third-party efforts like previous Monster Hunter games, and by downloading a free app you'll be able to transfer your progress from one system to another.

Digital Strategy
Military data centers make up more than half of the 2,900 identified governmentwide; Pentagon officials aim to eventually trim from 1,500 to 250. (Stock image)
One of every 13 Defense Department data centers has been closed under the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, and the Pentagon has bigger ambitions -- but the cost savings so far are difficult to pinpoint.
So far, DOD has shut down 114 centers, or more than one-quarter of the 382 agency data centers closed since 2010, according to the Office of Management and Budget's latest figures.
By 2015, FDCCI aims to close or consolidate about 1,200 of the nearly 2,900 identified data centers. A large number of those closings will come from DOD, which has 1,500 data centers, said DOD spokesman Damien Pickart.
He said DOD's goal is to reduce that number to 250 data centers in the next eight to 10 years.
"The department as a whole is methodically assessing their data center requirements and creating a detailed plan for ensuring capabilities are relocated elsewhere before losing data centers," Pickart said.
DOD assesses data centers to identify those that "provide near-term operational benefit, improved cybersecurity and/or net savings" as part of a coordinated effort that will eventually migrate department systems and applications into a smaller set of data centers.
Pickart said he had no information on the net savings from the department's consolidation efforts so far.
Estimates of governmentwide FDCCI cost savings vary, with OMB predictions ranging from $3 billion to $5 billion. The Government Accountability Office has predicted $2.4 billion in savings.
David Powner, director of IT management issues at GAO, told FCW in early November that it is difficult to pinpoint cost savings because agencies have not provided asset inventories, data on network infrastructure savings or power use information.
"The effort is on pace from a closure perspective," Powner said. "But given the lack of complete plans and cost-savings information, it is questionable whether it is on pace to achieve the $3 billion in savings that has been promised."
Here is a look at the latest data center closures by agency:

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
I just saw this, via the 2000AD forums: a collage image of Jock's storyboards for last year's Dredd film. Some of the Savage Wolverine artist's concept work for the movie leaked onto the Internet before filming began, but as far as I can tell, this is the first time any sighting has been made of this particular aspect of his work on the production. The storyboards were lettered and compiled into comic book form by John J Hill Design.
Here's the site's description: "In order to secure financing for the comic book based sci-fi film DREDD, a package was put together for DNA Films consisting of the storyboards (drawn by acclaimed artist Jock) and script reformatted to create a comic book of the entire movie. The film was successfully produced and came out to critical (although not box office) success."
This is a tantalizing proposition. Surely an "Art of" book must be on the cards, featuring this and all the pre-viz work done by Jock and the many other artists who worked on the movie? Wouldn't that go some way to satisfying the film's ever-vocal fanbase?
2012 will be remembered in some quarters as the year of some of the most overrated comic book movies ever. Fancy grabbing yourself a piece of permanent reminder from easily the best and most underrated of last year's crop? Then eBay is the place for you, as DNA Films and the Prop Store are auctioning off over 200 props and costumes from Dredd over the next fortnight. In time you'll be able to buy yourself a (hopefully fully working) Lawmaster motorbike, but the first batch includes the only complete Judge Dredd costume that'll be available in the auction.
No word from anyone involved yet, but this sale may well be tacit confirmation that DNA has no intention of developing a sequel to the film, despite its recent success both as a download and in DVD and Blu-Ray sales, a second bite of the cherry that will probably result in putting the movie in profit after its initially disappointing international box office takings.

I really like your theme and it amazing so far. However, I would like to include an image and text as the logo. Currently the text look just fine and I would keep it that way but I can't include a logo image. Also, if I do add the image, could you help extend the logo header area's length to fit nicely as well.

Total Time
Prep 15 mins

My adaptation of another of Huey's recipes. He describes a Bridie as "a South African pasty filled with spiced minced lamb... well, kind of..." Minced lamb is what Americans call "ground lamb". As I don't like my foods hot and spicy, when I make these I shall be omitting the sambel oelek (or any other chilli paste) and increasing the garlic. They looked so delicious that I'm really looking forward to making these. I'm also interested to learn from South Africans how well-known this dish is in South Africa and the degree to which this version has varied from the standard Bridie. If you are planning to make this recipe, please check the NOTE below the directions about a problem I had in posting one ingredient. For yield, I also tried to write, again unsuccessfully, "2 large or 4 small Bridies". Whether you consider this recipe appropriate to serving 2 or 4 will, of course, depend on the appetites of the eaters, and whether the Bridies are being served with other side dishes or on their own!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 leek, chopped (coarse outer stalks discarded, use both white and inner green stalks)
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 -2 teaspoon sambal oelek (or any other chilli paste)
- sea salt, to taste
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 600 g lean ground lamb (a little over 19 ounces)
- 1 (250 g) can diced tomatoes, drained a little (reserve liquid as you may want to add some later, 250g is 8 ounces)
- 1 -2 cup beef stock or 1 -2 cup vegetable stock, such as Vegetable Stock
- 1 tablespoon sultana
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 3 -4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- 2 puff pastry sheets
- 1 egg
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- olive oil flavored cooking spray
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1⁄2 lemon
- Preheat the oven to 180°-190°C fan forced (200°-210°C normal)/350°-375°F/4-5 gas mark.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed – preferably non-stick - pan and gently sauté the onion, leek and 2 garlic cloves, stirring occasionally, until they have softened.
- Add the cinnamon, allspice, sambel, a little salt and a decent grinding of pepper; stir well to cover the onion, leek and garlic with the spices and briefly cook until the spices are toasted and have begun to release their aromas; add the ground/minced and cook, continually mashing to break up the lamb, until the lamb is lightly browned.
- Add 1 can of tomatoes with 1 cup stock, the sultanas and the pine nuts; mix well and gently cook until the contents of the pan are thick and fragrant, adding more tomatoes and/or stock if needed; set aside to cool.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of coriander and mix in well. If you have no coriander, you could use mint instead.
- Place the pastry sheets on a workbench and cut a large round in each one.
- Mix together the egg and milk; brush the pastry edges with the egg wash and place a mound of the mince/ground lamb mixture on one side of each round, being careful not to use too much so that the filling bursts out once the pastry is sealed; fold over the pastry, press down and crimp the edges with a fork. If you seem to have too much mixture for two Bridies, cut out and fill a third pastry round.
- Brush the pastries with the egg/milk wash; place the pastries on 1-2 lightly oiled baking trays and cook in the oven until golden brown. Remember all the ingredients are cooked so you are only needing to cook and brown the pastry. I've estimated 20 minutes, but cooking times will vary with different ovens.
- Combine the remaining garlic with the yoghurt, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a little coriander.
- Serve the Bridies with the yoghurt sauce in a bowl on the side.
- NOTE: You can also make and fill smaller pastry rounds can be used, if you prefer. In posting the ingredients, I tried posting TWO cans of tomatoes - you may only need or choose to use the one can but may need the second can. I tried lots of times and lots of different wordings but inexplicably - to me anyway - it kept failing to post, so I settled for the ONE can. When adding the tomatoes and the stock, you can vary the ratio of the two according to your taste preferences.

Delicious!! I used a bare amount of curry paste but otherwise followed directions and was quite pleased with results.
Hi Bluemoondownunder!! I always read the new recipes that are posted each day. When I read this I had to try it. I was wanting to make something with ground lamb and there this was. I didn't have a leek and like you I don't like my food too spicy hot, so no chili paste. But otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Delicious. I actually haven't made it into pasties yet, which I was wanting to do with the lamb. But I got tired, so simply cooked up some lentils, served the lamb over the lentils with coriander, lemon juice and yogurt. I had a smiles a mile wide. My DH enjoyed it pretty well, but he isn't really into sweet and savory spices mixed together...I'm slowly training him. He's a midwest US meat and potato guy and he's learning, because if he wants to eat he eats what I eat and I'm getting more adventuresome as time goes by. Thank you for a lovely treat. I think I'll try to get the meat into those pasties tomorrow. Judy in WA

I absolutely love this guy.
LOL I love it! Really like the faces. So true, it's not easy being a mercenary.
Admiral is not pleased
imperials....always finding the cheapest way out of a business agreement XD
lol XD that got awkward
What did you expect to work for the empire?
He should do what Boba did when he didn't get paid: pull out his blaster and "renegotiate" the bill. Mandalorians don't work for free!
That was going to be Plan A for getting our money, until the GM told us that there were about six Imperial Knights as well as about thirty capital ships to deal with if we tried.
Then go to Plan C, where you attack later when he's vulnerable. Remember, mandalorians never forget, and they always get paid. Always.
Oh, we got paid. Mostly because our Chiss made it clear that if paid us the agreed upon price that they would most certainly never see us again. They were absolutely ecstatic to get rid of us. And for some reason they still agreed to an alliance between our people and the Empire. Torb was very good at his job.
Ha ha, I bet he is. Well, if you guys could get full pay through threatening him, then who wouldn't want you guys on their side, especially as an alliance could lead to future discounts.
Yeah, sadly though, as I said above, our particular team was never hired by the Fel Empire after that one. But their massive fleet certainly came in handy during the big huge epic final battle that our DM threw at us for the last game.
Hehe well fair enough x'3
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, seems they got a little miffed when we set that space station on fire, crashed the defense satellites into the planet and then stole everything that wasn't nailed down (until we found a hammer to pry out the nails). Those Imperialists man, so uptight.
ha ha ha ha, that's fun!
Heheh, yes, a slight discount might be in order ehehe.
Hahahaha Every Damn Time. :') *faves* cause more destruction than the enemy...

That left Roth and Pritchard as the only remaining members from the original four-man recruiting class. Jones and Jobe both signed with Indiana later.
Suddenly, the newcomers who had picked Indiana for its strong basketball reputation were adjusting their expectations.
"One of the reasons I committed here was making the NCAA tournament, but I really didn't expect what was going to happen," Pritchard said. "I knew I was going to get a lot of playing time, but I didn't expect it to be like that. It's been a long couple of years."
Long and, for much of the time, frustrating as people kept trying to write them off.
As sophomores, Pritchard and Co. saw incoming freshmen Christian Watford and Maurice Creek called the future of the program. But when Creek went down with a season-ending knee injury in December, the Hoosiers were lost. They won only four more times and finished 10-21.
Last season, with another solid recruiting class, Hoosiers fans thought they might make it back to postseason play. In January, Creek sustained another season-ending injury to the other knee and the Hoosiers only two more games, finishing 12-20.
So when Creek tore his Achilles tendon in October, the fear was that Indiana would wind up with a fourth straight losing season — something that had never happened in Bloomington.
But the three classes that were supposed to lift the Hoosiers out of the Big Ten basement, rallied around the seniors.
The Hoosiers started 12-0 for the first time since Indiana won the national championship in 1975-76. They upset No. 1 Kentucky and No. 2 Ohio State in December. They gave Crean his first 20-win season since leaving Marquette, and his first victory over Tom Izzo, his old boss. Now, they're just a week away from, finally, returning to the NCAA tournament after a three-year absence.
"When we first got here, we talked about uncharted water. It was for everybody," Crean said after Tuesday's upset of No. 5 Michigan State. "It's the same thing now, when you're climbing and you're getting better. We cannot get caught up in anything but that climb and making that climb better."
It may be just the start.
In four years, the seniors have presided over the greatest turnaround in Indiana history.
The team's Academic Progress Rate score, which was 811 in 2007-08, is now a perfect 1,000. The three years of NCAA probation that resulted from former coach Kelvin Sampson's series of impermissible phone calls to recruits ended earlier this season.
And the players who were told they weren't talented enough to preside over Indiana's resurgence have done just that through perseverance, hard work and a toughness they didn't know they had.
"We wouldn't be here now if it hadn't gone through those last three years," Roth said. "It's going to be a lot of fun to look back and see where we've taken this program and where it's going to continue to go."

Hi there
Love this plugin, really well written, thank you.
Wondering if it's possible that if the resolution is dropped down to iphone size (or perhaps a number entered in the CMS?) if the floating outside left vertical bar could go inline in the content, after the heading or below the last line of the content?
I think this can be done with conditional CSS, but it looks like the JS is also setting attributes so not so easy to uncouple.
Any thoughts?

All Rise...
The Charge
She broke the rules…and changed their lives.
Opening Statement
An atypical Simpson/Bruckheimer film, Dangerous Minds tells a familiar story about a determined, passionate teacher who makes a difference in the lives of her rough, inner city students. As a DVD, Buena Vista gives us its familiar indifference to the format.
The Evidence
This is one of those discs that just sat around for a while before I got around to reviewing it. I suspect that part of the reason was that I thought I had heard this story before (i.e. Stand and Deliver), and wasn't sure how well this movie would measure up. Also, while I respect Michelle Pfeiffer's talents as an actress, I have a hard time buying into her as a former Marine. That being said, in the end it's a movie that is better than you might think, though not without its problems.
The story opens at a tough inner city high school, where teacher Hal Griffith (George Dzundza) brings along his friend Louanne Johnson (Michelle Pfeiffer) for an interview with the school's assistant principal, Carla Nichols (Robin Bartlett). To her surprise, Louanne is quickly hired as a full-time teacher and thrown headlong into the lion's den, a roomful of defiant, seemingly unreachable inner city kids. After a disastrous start, Louanne digs in her heels and fights back, determined to get her students' attention and teach them. With a mixture of discipline, bribery, and cajoling, she at least gets their attention on vaguely educational subjects, but getting them to really learn is a tough sell. Even her fledgling efforts earn the stern disapproval of the bureaucratic-minded principal, Mr. Grandey (Courtney B. Vance), but she perseveres.
Louanne gets them interested in the world of poetry by introducing them to the poetic lyrics of Bob Dylan. It is still tough going, as conflict between some of her students causes its own set of problems, which she attempt to solve with personal attention and understanding. Seemingly by magic, she wins over the class leader, Emilio Ramirez (Wade Dominguez) and gets them excited over a Bob Dylan/Dylan Thomas poetry contest. Louanne offers the winner a dinner at a very fancy restaurant in town, but only one winner is able to take her up on the offer. (The dinner scene is most notable for the unexpected appearance of John Neville, who appeared in The X-Files: Fight the Future as the Well-Manicured Man, as a waiter. I just about sprayed my Coke when I recognized him).
From the student who showed, and those who didn't, Louanne learns even more about their difficult lives and tries to help them out, with varying degrees of success. In one powerful scene, she comes face to face with one mother who takes her sons out of Louanne's class because Louanne is filling their heads with poetry and nonsense, distracting them from their reality of work and bills to be paid. Louanne takes it even harder when one of her students is killed, despite her most strenuous efforts to get him the help he was nearly too proud to accept.
With a heavy heart, Louanne announces her intention to leave the school, much to the dismay of her now enthusiastic students. They turn the tables on Louanne, and by their own strenuous efforts convince her to carry on and stay at the school., and she walks off into the sunlight, happily ever after.
As I said, the premise of the story is not terribly original, but the main problems in the story are based in this particular script. The stories of the students' lives is never that well fleshed out, even for those that Louanne deals with closely. Furthermore, I still can't quite believe how easily she whipped them into shape and got them enthralled by…Bob Dylan? Given what they had to work with, the actors do reasonably competent jobs, with Michelle Pfeiffer giving Louanne the necessary determination and sincerity. George Dzundza is excellent in the supporting role of Louanne's friend, and his whistling the Marine Corps anthem at Louanne as he strolls back to his class is just priceless.
The video is acceptable, but nothing spectacular. The palette of the whole movie is rather subdued, so you never get any of the richly saturated colors that DVD does so well. Digital noise is somewhat noticeable throughout the movie, but it never becomes too much of a distraction. Sharpness is about average, and the print is fairly but not completely free of dirt and blemishes. Though widescreen, it is the usual non-anamorphic transfer from Buena Vista.
Audio is clean and distinct, but aside from some of the songs on the soundtrack, it rarely uses any of the true abilities of a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. Your subwoofer will have little to do, even when Coolio's low notes come into play. I can't say that I really noticed any directional effects, given the understandable emphasis on dialogue.
Extras are the sadly limited. You get the music video from Coolio, "Gangsta's Paradise" (where Ms. Pfeiffer looks particularly nice), and that's it. Not even the trailer for the movie, or a brief shred of production notes. You do get a totally useless selection of film recommendations, which is worse than nothing in my book. The menus are static and movie themed. On a good note, the packaging is the preferred Amaray keep case.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
This is one review where I think the case is already pretty fairly laid out already, so I rest my case without any rebuttal evidence.
Closing Statement
If you are looking for a light drama with a touch of social reality, or you are a Michelle Pfeiffer fan, give it a look. Consider a purchase of this disc carefully, for even a fan might object to its pricey nature ($30), limited extras, and middling quality.
The Verdict
The film is acquitted, with reservations. Buena Vista is sentenced to go back to school and learn how to make a decent DVD.

Flavor 1st wins supplier award
Published: Monday, October 24, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 24, 2005 at 7:52 p.m.
Vegetable growers in Henderson County received accolades recently when Flavor 1st, a local produce company, was named the 2005 Supplier of the Year by the Bi-Lo/Bruno's supermarkets.
Strong roots
Henderson County ranks No. 2 in the state in vegetable and specialty crops production, thanks to:
100 full-time vegetable growers.
45 part-time vegetable growers.
Six organic farmers.
Gross income in 2004 - $3.84 million. Estimated losses from Hurricanes Frances and Ivan were estimated at $5 million.
Flavor 1st won the award over much larger national and regional suppliers of fresh, perishable items, such as Del Monte, Pet Dairy and Fresh Express.
"It's rare for a local company to win this award," said Flavor 1st partner Brian Rose. "We were in competition with national vendors."
"This award is due to the local growers," said partner Pete Johnson.
About three years ago, Bi-Lo began a partnership with Flavor 1st to promote local produce.
"Every two weeks they feature a different locally grown item," said partner Kirby Johnson.
Some weeks it was heirloom tomatoes. Other times the store featured locally grown yellow squash, zucchini, black-eyed peas or pole beans.
"The support Bi-Lo/Bruno has given Western North Carolina in fresh produce in dollar figures is unbelievable," Kirby Johnson said.
Flavor 1st, which is based in Mills River, packs and ships vegetables grown by farmers in a 70-mile radius, including Henderson, Polk, Transylvania, Rutherford, Madison and Yancey counties and the upstate of South Carolina.
At least 49 farmers in the region supply Flavor 1st with at least 53 different items. The company also packs and ships produce grown by farmers in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and other areas of South Carolina, bringing the total number of farmers to about 150.
"Everything we do comes through this facility," Rose said. "We have a food-safety program in place here, where we inspect the produce and make sure it's safe for the consumer."
Despite the loss from flooding and excessive rains in the spring and early summer, this year's crop was good.
"We lost crops early in the year from the weather," said partner Mitch Gaither. "But we're still picking bell peppers and grape tomatoes."
"We can go until it frosts," Rose said.
When the crop ends in Western North Carolina, the company begins growing and shipping produce from Florida.

I had a crash on my webserver and had to reinstall an update of the Website that was 2 years old (because nothing younger!). The Webserver is on Plesk 8.6 and the Website uses Typo3. Now my problem is simple: before, I had a direct FTP access from every computer to "updates.myserver.de", that was actually a shortcut for "srv/www/myserver.de/httpdocs/..." etc. Now it seems the path doesn't work anymore, and every time I try to connect to "updates.myserver.de" i only open "myserver.de", and need to look for the folder then. Does anybody have an idea how to fix the problem?
It really depends on your definition of "crash", if you had to reinstall Plesk from scratch, I do not think that

I have recently returned from a stay at Monte Azul. I began to write a review, but had to stop as my words did not adequately reflect the experience of Monte Azul. The purpose of my visit was of exploration to write a proposal for participation in their Artist in Residency program. The experience completely changed my original thoughts. I am excited and look forward to my next stay at Monte Azul as well as the initiation of the two bodies of work inspired by the place and staff. The casitas are well appointed and reflect the careful considerations of Carlos and Randy. They are comfortable and elegantly designed to mirror the beautifully landscaped grounds which seamlessly transition to the surrounding rainforest. The artwork in the casitas, the grounds, and Cafe Blue was exceptional. The placement giving each piece the space for focus and distance for restful reflection. Cafe Blue meals were fantastic, beautifully plated, featuring simple, clean combinations that blossomed in complexity across the palette. The staff balances work and friendship creating a family atmosphere while attending to every need of their guest. They are genuine in the interest in the individual guest, but marry this interest by offering and arranging trips to local venues from the conversations held in friendship. During my stay, a newly wed couple arrived and the staff created a private corner of the cafe with potted plant, complimented by candles. I made many new friends, not only with staff members, but with other guest that I will maintain throughout my life. Thanks to everyone at Monte Azul. I have tried refrain from over-describing or naming each person that contributed to my experience of this incredible place to avoid diminishing your visit in any way.

What constitutes a family? Since birth, we're told certain people around us are part of our family, but what does family even mean? We don't choose these people and they don't choose us, so at what point does it all click? At what point does someone go from being that other person in my life to being the most important person in my life? Much of this is explored in a whole chunk of the movies premiering at the Sundance Film Festval this year, most notably skipping through the veins of Richard Linklater's Boyhood, Joe Swanberg's Happy Christmas and Lynn Shelton's Laggies — three films about discovering one's self through family, and the ever-evolving power of connecting as one badass unit that can conquer just about all of life's funky little obstacles.
Arguably one of the most ambitious films you'll ever see, Richard Linklater's Boyhood tracks the life of one family over the course of 12 years, with the Dazed and Confused filmmaker choosing to actually shoot the movie over a 12-year span. What we're left with is this incredibly immersive tone poem about growing up and moving on, and the moments that define us at all the stages of our lives. Linklater moves seamlessly from year to year, moment to moment, using only the slight changes in appearance and culture to cue us on how much time has passed since the last scene, and by the end you'll feel like this massive time capsule was just injected into your soul.
This isn't a movie in the traditional sense. There aren't any specific plot points that keep you guessing, or a particular "event" ending it's working towards. Boyhood simply floats in and out of these lives — their fights, their first kisses, their evolution as human beings. Who they love. How they cope. Why they change. Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette — along with their on-screen children, Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater — do an incredible job of evolving with their characters over such a long period of time, while also remaining consistent in who they are and what makes them tick. And as we watch them grow and change with the world around them, Linklater colors the background of each year with its music, politics and technology, to the point where your moments and the characters' moments begin to blur, and it's not their lives we're watching — it's our own.
In Happy Christmas, filmmaker Joe Swanberg (Drinking Buddies) brings his naturalistic, fly-on-the-wall aesthetic to a story about connecting with the family you marry into, for better or for worse. Anna Kendrick stars as Jenny, a girl who's stuck between what used to be and what happens next; trapped in this emotional vortex while she spends the holidays at her brother's house in the hopes of figuring out her next moves. But while her brother (Swanberg), his wife (Melanie Lynskey) and their scene-stealing toddler (played by Swanberg's own son Jude) go about their everyday lives, Jenny searches for ways to fit in and connect with the new additions to her family even though she's one bourbon shot away from complete self-destruction.
She's kinda like Keira Knightley in Lynn Shelton's Laggies, an adorable and accessible romantic comedy about discovering yourself through someone else's family. Knightley stars as Megan, a mess of a girl who struggles to find that last piece of the becoming-an-adult puzzle. She's got the great longtime boyfriend (Mark Webber), the tight-knit group of lifelong friends, and the parents who support her in whatever life calls upon her to do. Problem is, she's ignoring life's calls, and after a chance encounter with a free-spirited teenager (Chloe Moretz), Megan concocts a plan to ditch her life for a week and crash with a girl who's essentially the teenage version of herself in the hopes of rediscovering who she is and what she wants to be.
What's great about all three films is they feature complex, troubled women who all overcome various obstacles and become stronger for it. Whether it's a broken marriage, a wounded heart or a lack of purpose in life, all of these characters use the power of family in different ways to find what they're searching for.
Eventually it's what we're all searching for, though. That connection. That pulse that drives us forward, connecting us moment to moment. Our family. Your family. The ones who you choose and the ones who are chosen for you. What these movies tell us is something we don't tell ourselves enough. That the quality of your life doesn't depend on what you do with it — it depends on who you share it with.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Wegmans' store brands are outselling any other brand in categories including cereals, salsa, ice cream, frozen vegetables, yogurt and frozen self-rising pizza, reported Mary Ellen Burris, senior vice president of consumer affairs for the chain, in her latest column on the company's website.
