Why The Form Of Cinema Will Change
By Ted Hope
Why does the feature film form have to change? What can society gain from this change? I thought I knew the answers, but what I discovered leading the conversation on ReInvent Hollywood's episode on "The Form" is something even more inspiring and exciting.
I was 20 when I knew I wanted to use my life and labor to make cinema. I felt cinema could change the world. I felt nothing else had the power to capture our life as it really was—and then move it forward. After 25 years of producing a heck of a lot of cinema – films I am really proud of – I started to doubt that cinema had the capacity that used to , to move us, to excite us, to represent us to the fullest extent.
I was truly excited to gather for the first episode of ReInVent HollyWood what I knew were some of the greatest minds and experts on how the form of cinema is evolving, people who have been leading the way. My expectation was that we would be talking technology and science, about social behavior and learning processes. Instead I found it is the same qualities that originally brought us together around the campfire that will propel us into the next eon.
Story – when you get down to it – is the greatest technology ever invented. Technology – adapted from "techni" is simply a "tool" and it is the unique ability of story for us to feel empathy, to connect together, to share in an authentic experience that will forever be it's greatest strength. With everyone we spoke to today it is clear that it is these attributes they look to expand upon.
In the discussion the human element one out. "People not platforms" was the advice that came from Liz Rosenthal on where to focus on developing for transmedia. Technology is a tool but not the reason for being. Dial it back to story. Recognizing story as vessel that holds the key on how we can participate in change, how we can make a difference – it is one of our most driving desires and more and more, be it through politics or profession, people feel they don't – and that's what story can provide The future of the form is recognizing we are no longer confined by the screen, as it travels everywhere and we step in and out of it at will: portability
Trying to future-cast may be a fool's errand, but all participants were wary of the long reach and instead made pleas to keep the innovation accessible. Recognizing that the audience maybe "transmedia curious" as Karim Ahmed termed, but not yet ready for heavy experimentation, is a cautious reminder for every artist fueled by innovation. If there even ever was, there certainly now is no longer, a single audience, and storyworld building requires considering those who are eager to deep dive and others who will forever skim along the surface. The path to a more participatory cinema culture is a gradual shift in terrain as both perception and behavior is altered. Where it leads is not just to a nonlinear, asynchronous, interactive, immersive, and participatory world. The holy grail is the pursuit of all great stories: empathy and transformation – but now in a truly authentic way as story enters the physical world.
Technology clearly facilitates a changing relationship with the people formerly known as the audience, and it is this attribute that all were considering. Whether it was massive collaboration through "cloud filmmaking" or recognizing that people "want to have the story with you at all times", participation and portability were key elements of what the new breed was hungry to utilize.
Barriers exist and if we don't maintain an open internet, visions will vanish. People and artist both must take control not just of their work, but the data they generate. Our direct contact with audiences is one of the greatest gifts and we must not lose that at any cost. We can not let the culture of content ubiquity create a community of competition. Our path forward is through sharing.
All involved had developed new forms, be it for art or business, and they had lessons to share. It will be chaotic. Mistakes will be made. Rapid prototyping. Don't wait, iterate! Enable discussion and bring diverse voices and viewpoints into the process.
The conversation flowed as the participants embraced what they saw as best practices for anyone engaging in new forms: transparency, sharing, the pursuit of transcendence, constant empathy, embracing failure as a given in the process, and a faith in the artist and diverse contributors.
Here's the recap of the episode below. You can watch the whole show here.

As a practicing architect, this post and video encourage my dream of bringing "Architectural Storytelling" to the culture at large. Thanks!

I appreciate this post and look forward to watching the entire video episode. For myself, I came to filmmaking specifically for its ability to create change and inspire thought. I appreciate the emphasis on story and film as something that can create empathy and work with that focus myself quite a bit. As such, my production company has decided that our next project will be a webseries with various transmedia components rather than a film, though our previous works have been short and feature-length films. We let the story drive the method and mode, which is why we're doing a media piece that is episodic. We plan for the transmedia components to also be drawn from the story as well. This was a great Reinvent Hollywood topic. Thanks.

Taking content length in a greater and, perhaps, a more youthful context, VINE and TWITTER put a lot of scientific research In creating the form length of 6.5 seconds for a video on VINE, believing it to be the proper length for the viewer (frequently mobile) and challenging the creator to be (very) creative in telling the story. They rejected INSTAGRAM's epic length of 15 seconds as being too long.
Some interesting stats about VINE and online and mobile video predictions from the folks at STATISTA:
-VINE has 40 million users, 57% are female, the largest age group is 18-20-year-olds, if every user recorded a 6.5 second video it would take eight years to watch them all, viewing activity peaks on weekends.
-predictions include: between 2011 and 2016, mobile video will increase 1800%, videos will be 55% of all internet traffic.

Kinson Road Medical Centre is run by Dr Andrew Brewer, supported by three associate GPs (Dr Emma Sands, Dr Philip Doust and Dr Emma McFarland) and has approximately 8,400 patients. Our main surgery is at 440 Kinson Road and our branch surgery is in West Howe. We pride ourselves on being a very friendly practice and aim to provide a high standard of medical care to all our patients as well as a range of services to meet their needs.

If you wish to know which doctor you are registered with please just contact reception, this is also usually shown on any letters we send to you. You may attend either surgery. When making an appointment, just let the receptionist know who you would prefer to see and at which surgery. The receptionists will do their best to accommodate your preferences but, if your preferred doctor is away or his/her surgery is full, you will be offered an appointment with one of the other doctors or the triage nurse. We offer a range of appointments including same-day (this may take the form of a telephone consultation with either a GP or triage nurse and save you having to come to surgery) and advance booking.

Please click here to to order repeat prescriptions.
Thank you to all our patients who took the time to give us feedback on our practice during 2014. The results have been very positive (for the most part!) and have included comments such as
'I don't think you services need improving at all.The receptionists are very polite and helpful as are the doctors. You don't have to wait week to see a doctor like most surgeries.You can always get an appointment the same day. The surgery puts the patient's needs first.'
'Everything is good; keep up the good work.'
'I don't think you need to improve.I haven't had any problems.'
The comments have helped us to see where we can make improvements.To see this year's improvement plan (together with details of the patient group) just click on 'survey report' on the right-hand side of the screen.
Why not take part in our Friends and Family survey? Just tick on the box below.

"Naqsh-e Rostam" Naqsh-e Rostam by Sambawalk
Naqsh-e Rostam Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 62 photos
Naqsh-e Rustam is an archaeological site located about 12 km northwest of Persepolis, in Fars province, Iran. Naqsh-e Rustam lies a few hundred meters from Naqsh-e Rajab.
The oldest relief at Naqsh-i Rustam is severely damaged and dates to c. 1000 BCE. It depicts a faint image of a man with unusual head-gear and is thought to be Elamite in origin. The depiction is part of a larger mural, most of which was removed at the command of Bahram II. The man with the unusual cap gives the site its name, Naqsh-e Rostam, "Picture of Rostam", because the relief was locally believed to be a depiction of the mythical hero Rostam.
The triumph of Shapur I is the most famous of the Sassanid rock reliefs, and depicts Shapur's victory over two Roman emperors, Valerian and Philip the Arab. A more elaborate version of this rock relief is at Bishapur
Four tombs belonging to Achaemenid kings are carved out of the rock face. They are all at a considerable height above the ground.
The tombs are known locally as the 'Persian crosses', after the shape of the facades of the tombs. The entrance to each tomb is at the center of each cross, which opens onto to a small chamber, where the king lay in a sarcophagus. The horizontal beam of each of the tomb's facades is believed to be a replica of the entrance of the palace at Persepolis.

Tesla Autopilot 2.0 Is Coming This Year, Source Confirms (technobuffalo.com) 136
An anonymous reader writes from a report via TechnoBuffalo: A source close to Tesla Motors confirmed to TechnoBuffalo that Tesla Autopilot 2.0 is coming soon. Other media outlets like Teslarati have reported on prototype Model S and Model X vehicles operating in the wild sporting two forward facing cameras, which may indicate part of the new hardware necessary to take advantage of Autopilot 2.0's additional features. "The dual camera system is capable of recognizing and reacting to stop signs and traffic lights with no driver input," said the source. The current Autopilot software cannot simply stop itself at a light or a stop sign on its own -- it needs a car in front of it in order to automatically slow down or stop. The added cameras should help Autopilot 2.0 read and react to traffic lights and stop signs, and thus bring Tesla's cars closer to autonomous driving. The source did mention that Tesla's current test vehicles with Autopilot 2.0 are running "very beta" software that was likely the precursor to v8.0. U.S. regulators are actively investigating 25,000 Tesla Model S cars after a fatal crash involving a vehicle using the "Autopilot" mode was reported. Despite the tragedy, Elon Musk recently said that Autopilot could save half a million lives every year if Tesla Autopilot was universally available.

The cheese, in combination with the lemon made pancakes that were so light, airy and fresh, I forgot I was … Continue reading

Truly, the ingredient list intrigued me – no sugar? no flour? greek yogurt? And while a bit shrimpy {I may have been a little stingy when pouring the batter into the muffin … Continue reading
Blueberry Scones
Scones have always slightly intimidated me. There seems to be some kind of exact consistency or method to the dough that I've always shied away from. I finally decided it was time for me to give it a try. Scones are such a universal baked item. No matter what season you're in or taste you're … Continue reading

Not a fan of most Science Fiction movies, I found this one very well done. I saw it for two basic reasons, it starred Charize Theron and it was done in 3D. As to Charlize, the film makers wasted her talent. The role she was given was completely unnecessary and had no affect on the movie. I suppose they hired her in order to place her name in the credits. As to the 3D, it was quite good. Not a movie that used the technology for the effects to scare, it gave tremendous depth and added much to a movie done in darker toned colors. As this prequel is to have a follow up, I'm afraid it will be one that I won't watch. I doubt if Scott will spend the money to use 3D again as he will probably draw his audience with the subject matter which he's used much too often. In this film, fortunately, he kept away from those creatures until the final scenes.
To attempt to explain this story, provides too much of the plot. This review only speaks to the audience it should reach and to the performance of the few actors, all good. Ashley Judd, however, is more that that (good). Ms. Judd makes us fully believe her character. She had the ability to make me understand how she could get involved in something so unbelievable. A concept that determines the type of audience. Very few people will find enjoyment here. Many will find it ridiculous, others will simply call it horrible. The few of us that remain will find it dark, sad, and psychotic. Drugs play a minor role in the road to insanity. Distrust, loneliness, and paranoia are the major drivers. There is some horror involved, most of it within the mind. I've watched the movie once, quite sometime ago. I swore to never view it again. But, thinking back, I doubt I'll keep that promise. There can be little doubt but I will watch it. I'm not sure I can reach the ending. For those that haven't seen it, I recommend it to very few. I guarantee that most will actually hate the film. A few will never forget it. Either way, it will make you feel "buggy".
Gave movie a generous 8. It may be unfair to rate it lower than others have done as I had read the book. If you've done the same, you may tend to rate the movie even lower than I did. It deserved an 8 for no other reason than it was exciting and provided fairly good acting. It differed so from the book, it was sad. The movie seemed to be in a rush to conclude the series and provided little in the background stories required to make it unforgettable. For moviegoers that did not know the story, I would expect some confusion. For those of us that read the book, I would expect plain disappointment. Unlike the conclusion to Lord of the Rings, this will not be an Oscar contender. I'm surprised that the stories author hasn't complained; my God they had two movie to do the ending properly and they missed entirely. As I read my review, I'm reconsidering the 8. Well, it was exciting, had good affects, and did bring the story to an end, although somewhat clumsily. Yet, I'm sure millions of younger fans will think it great so, the 8 stays.
This was not only the worst Christmas movie ever produced, it could possibly be the worst movie of any kind ever produced. The story is quite simple, it tells the tale of a couple that sneak away during the holiday season in order to not spend time with their respective families. Once you meet the families, you might understand the reason for their yearly exodus. The problem, however, the couple themselves have very little personality to win your heart. The jokes, if jokes they are, are stale, mean spirited, and most un-Christmas like. We would be embarrassed to have our names associated with a movie that will yearly remind movie goers that actors will do anything for a buck. There is no Christmas spirit here, please don't plan to show to a child. In fact, please don't plan to show to anybody. I would be glad to tell you that the ending had some saving grace but I cannot. I left the theater as the couple was being entertained by family number three. My wife, on the other hand, remained to the bitter end, not one to waste the money for a partially seen movie. According to her critique of the ending, she wishes she would have. Leaving when I did was one of the best gifts I received for this holiday. To be fair, I'll admit, there was one moment, one scene, when I laughed. Conceding that, there were two enjoyable moments in Four Christmases, that scene and the leaving early.
After reading the book, I just had to see the movie. The premise of such a great story starring my favorite actor thrilled me. The problem, except for Jack, the movie stunk. If I had to watch the little boy talk to his finger one more time, I would have lost my mind. Thank goodness Stephen King did this mini-series. It is as close to the book as it could possibly be. It's hard to admit that I could prefer any movie that replaced Jack with a middle of the road TV actor. It shocks even me. I'm afraid that Kubrick, having Nicholson for his star, tossed the script and spent his time elsewhere. Read the comments that support Kubricks version. They all talk about Jack's great acting job. They all admit that the true story line was changed. I believe it was changed to suit Jack's great "Here's Johnny" scene. It's about the only thing that version has to offer. Either read the book or watch the mini-series. Oterwise you're watching something entirely different. It may be called "The Shining" but it certainly wasn't written by King.
Saw this film while stationed at a remote site in the military. As I remember, it was one of the few movies, at the time, that really made me laugh. It so resembled the nuttiness of everyday military life. It displays attitudes of peoples from different cultures required to depend upon each other for survival. It shows that war, itself, is a national problem while the average soldier is really not so different from his enemy. If this were on DVD, I would purchase it, in a heartbeat. The truths brought forward in this story are as meaningful today as when I saw it in 1962. Best yet, every member of the military audience viewing it, laughed until they rolled. It didn't matter what their political orientation, the humor was there for all to see. If a fan of "King of Hearts", I recommend it.
It was astonishing to read the lead in review. The complaint laid forth
by the critic that the director's view of the North Pole and Santa's
workshop did not reflect his, too bad. Maybe the critic could do better
but it's doubtful. As for the line that the Elven town looked like
something out of a German city, so what? Didn't many of the concepts of
Christmas begin in Germany? My family (two seniors, a twenty year old
father, his 3, almost 4, year old son) loved it. The colors were
brilliant. The number of elves dancing, singing, and rushing to create
an entrance for Santa was outstanding. Santa, himself, proved to be
exactly as he should. Intelligent, sturdy, and kind. His reindeer, just
as impressive. Forgetting the North Pole and remarking on the rest of
the movie, how well done! The artwork, just great. The excitement, our
grandson was out of his chair and standing while holding onto the
chair-back of the row in front of us. There were scenes that could have
seemed somewhat scary for a youngster, he didn't find them so. He
laughed several times out loud, had his eyes glued to the screen when
something serious seemed to be happening, loved the entire movie. He
wants the DVD for Christmas (he will have to wait a year). He also told
us that he wants to see the movie once more before Christmas. Out of
the mouth of a three year old, his favorite movie.
How can a critic want to re-design that? All because he didn't like the city at the North Pole.? I guess he was looking for buildings made from peppermint sticks. To each his own. As for the three adults, we too were amazed. We went for our grandson. We enjoyed it so much, we applauded (as did others in the theater). It will be easy to return for a second showing. And, the DVD, this family will be buying more than one. My summary states that this was the best Christmas story ever made (put on film, actually), we think it was more than that. It surpasses other great animated films. Once purchased in a DVD format, Toy Story will be relegated to the back shelf, even during the middle of summer.
If we were to see one movie this year, or suggest that other's not miss one, this is the film. Without a doubt, the movie was directed, created, envisioned, by Moore. His influence is felt throughout the film. But, be a liberal, a political moderate, or an extreme conservative, Moore brings many questionable events to light. He also had the courage to show the misery, the pain, the fear faced by our troops abroad. From the scene when our armies were rushing to Bagdad full of bravado, to the scenes where the many terribly wounded were questioning why, to the scene of draped coffins, all enlightening, sad, and if I may say so as a veteran, disgusting. The young soldier that faces prison instead of returning to the front, the discussion with the soldier, a one-time strong Republican, on his way home (full of morphine), to convince his neighbors to vote Democrat are worth the price of admission alone. The scenes of our President, his reaction when first hearing of the disaster of 9/11 are appalling. More than anything, this movie made us wish that our country, our world, return to the days (Greece, Troy, Rome) when our brave leaders led the charge. I would truly love to see how they match up to the poor soldiers that they've placed in harms way. We left in tears.
Yes, this can be compared to "Pulp Fiction". It has a slew of twists and veers from one set of characters to another at the drop of a hat. Unlike "Pulp", however, there are many sympathetic characters mixed into the cast. The film has humor (a hired gunman that spends much of the movie looking for Italian seasonings while cooking for his captives), some sadness (a once successful director down on his luck, ready for suicide, being ridiculed by a bit part actor), a very lush Charlize Theron, a movie mogul with "kidney stones", and an extremely competent killer that has a thing with his stop watch. Let's not forget the two police officers, one a compassionate young man looking to advance to criminal investigation, the other a red neck failure that decides its time to shoot a foursome at the golf course next to his home. How these characters are brought together through the planning of an Olympic star (well, almost a star)who is ready to have her ex knocked off for the will is amusing, well acted, and one of the best films I've seen in some time.
I'll admit it, I really liked "The Matrix". So, I made the mistake of
purchasing "Reloaded" on DVD. After doing so, I thought that, as bad as
"Reloaded" was, it was just a stepping stone to "Revolutions". So, I
again spent good money with the belief that the final installment would
return to the quality of the original story. What a mistake! If you
didn't like the second installment of this series, you certainly won't
like this conclusion.
Except for the special effects, and I'm not so sure just how special they were, this movie stinks. When it was over, I had no idea who was the winner, who the loser, of this waste of time movie. It seems that a computer program (Mr. Smith) gained self awareness, proceeding to wear dark glasses, and began to call his opposite, Neo (the balance, which I never understood) Mr. whatever. I had once thought that Neo was removed from his crib that the machine world used to collect our hymans electrical energy. But, apparently, Neo was more than this. He was the evil software's opposite, the balance. The concluding battle between these two forces were meant to show the moviegoer that there can be no winner when two equally opposing forces meet, just achieve "the balance" and you win. Whatever happened between the poor human citizens buried miles beneath the ground and the maching "God" that at one time controlled the world through the electrical charges of it's human collection, I'll never know. I do know that "the oracle" that we believed dead more tha once, sits under a blue sky on a beautiful spring like day, the machind "God" has made some sort of peace pack with Neo (not sure if it means that any of the enslaved humans are returned to life), Neo's girl fried gets to see the beauty of the earth and sky for 3 seconds before her exit and a small group of humans soon to become Morlocks are screaming happily at Neo's success in stopping their complete destruction. Never mind the machines that produce the environment and food supply. I know we see the Oracle on a park bench in New York but I have no understanding how the transformation from a world completely destroyed by machines provides her that wonderful moment. In fact, I don't have a clue as to the Oracles existence at the conclusion anyway, the last time I saw her, before the closing scenes, she was in the grasp of a smiling, crazily laughing Mr. Smith. About the best I can say about this movie is that it finally ended. I feel like a sap for putting money into the DVD's. If anyone, reading this, has a better understanding of the movie, please be kind enough to tell me. Or, was the enjoyment derived only from the special effects, and from the producers, from the cash they hauled in?

I added some sauteed onion as well w/ the eggplant in step one. Also, my herb addition was simply dried mixed herbs and it worked well. This dish was everything I wanted/expected it to be, thus it gets five stars! Will make again!
Eggplant Pomodoro Pasta
From EatingWell: July/August 2009
Diced eggplant turns tender and tasty sautéed with garlic and olive oil. Toss with fresh plum tomatoes, green olives and capers and you have a simple light summer sauce. We like it over angel hair pasta, but any type of pasta will work.
39 Reviews for Eggplant Pomodoro Pasta
This was my 1st time making this and I'm amazed at how flavorful it was, maybe the very fresh tomatoes and parsley from my garden had something to do with it! I did not add the olives because my boyfriend dislikes them (but did add the capers) and I go easy on the red pepper flakes. I will make this again for sure.
12 oz of pasta is waaaaaaaay too much! If I make it next time I would cut it in half... I ended having too much pasta and I had to bag the rest in the fridge.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was great. I excluded the capers and let my husband add his own olives to his as I don't eat them. I used red wine instead of vinegar which added some depth. Next time I would go easier on the crushed red pepper and saute the garlic for a bit longer until it caramelizes up for better flavor. Otherwise it was super fresh and tasty!
this taste super healthy, but not super delicious. i should have avoided the olives and capers since i don't like them to begin with. i made it exactly according to the recipe and included the crushed red pepper, not so bad, but not so good either. also, i didn't like the eggplant skin.

Imran Khan
It is amazing to see the glibness with which the Pakistani rulers continue to lie to the nation about the drone attacks and the surrender of Pakistan's sovereignty to the US.
Feigning anger and regret over the drone attacks which have multiplied yearly since the Zardari government came into power, the civil and military leadership continues to give access to the US to kill Pakistanis in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) of the country through these lethal drone attacks.
Even a parliamentary resolution has failed to push the government into acting against these drones and moving to control the freewheeling, gun-toting and murderous American Rambos in the guise of CIA operatives, US Special Forces and private US mercenaries, who have added to the murder of Pakistani civilians and security personnel.
Instead, as the WikiLeaks revealed, Prime Minister Yusuf Razai Gilani informed the US government that they could continue with their operatives and drones in Pakistan while he made declaratory noises to the contrary for the Pakistani nation's consumption!
Much earlier, Bob Woodward, in his book 'Obama's Wars', had put on record how President Asif Ali Zardari, in a revealing cavalier mindset, informed the US leaders that collateral damage in terms of Pakistani lives was of no concern to him. That Pakistani lives are simply irrelevant "collateral damage" shows the utter contempt the "democratic" rulers of Pakistan have for their people.
Meanwhile, despite skilful propaganda to the contrary from Western sources (both through NGOs and officials) and some of their embedded media personnel in Pakistan, the people of Fata are increasingly becoming more vocal and resentful of the drones and therefore more resentful towards the Pakistani state.
Even Pakistan People's Party (PPP) members from Fata have denounced the drone killings as primarily targeting civilians. While only a handful of militants have been known to die in the drone attacks, the civilian death toll goes beyond 2,000 and includes a large numbers of women and children.
Beyond those killed, there are hundreds who have been physically disabled and an equal number that is suffering from shell-shock and trauma — with no provision of any medical care and assistance for the entire Fata region.
The ratio of militants to civilians killed is around 1:10 — a figure reaffirmed by Gulabat Khan, a Malik from North Waziristan. Reflecting the mainstream tribal view in Fata, he also regretted that nobody has bothered to inquire or offer assistance to the locals who have suffered human and material losses as a result of the drones.
Worse still, the government has still not inquired into the killing of the 40 Maliks in the recent drone attack against a tribal jirga. Khan vowed revenge against the US and the Pakistani state, which would go on for 500 years.
Therefore, it is not surprising to find the tribes of Fata announcing a jihad against the US, which means more radicalisation spreading to the rest of the country.
For Pakistan, the costs of this subservience to the US and surrender of national sovereignty has proven extremely costly and far outweighs any short-term gains that may have been made — although that is itself a contentious issue.
Terrorism has run riot across the country and President Zardari himself has declared that Pakistan has so far suffered with 33,500 casualties and a $68 billion loss to the economy; hundreds of thousands have been displaced far beyond Fata, which has become a devastated region losing its tenuous connection with the rest of Pakistan since the people are now being compelled to acquire food and material from Afghanistan instead. This is how we have destroyed the Fata people who were in the forefront of supporting the creation of Pakistan and gave their lives for Kashmir in 1948.
Ironically, Pakistan has also become far more insecure as a result of becoming a surrogate for a US militaristic agenda that is rapidly slipping into a quagmire of confusion and hysteria. By opening up the whole country to the US, our rulers have also allowed all manner of external intruders into conducting low-intensity operations in our sensitive areas not only of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but also of Balochistan.
Add to this the bombings of shrines and mosques and the accentuating of Shia-Sunni and Deobandi-Barelvi divides, and the costs for Pakistan of the present alliance with the US rise even higher. Even Karachi and, increasingly, Punjab are becoming susceptible to militancy and violence as the provincial governments remain unresponsive to the needs of their people and the federal government remains preoccupied in appeasing the US and the destabilising International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Not that the US has achieved anything from its military-centric approach to fighting terrorism. All that has happened is that a more conducive environment has been created for extremism and militancy post-9/11. The hope that Obama would bring more rationality to a trauma-ridden US policymaking elite was dashed very early on when the generals prevailed on him in connection with the militarist policies in Afghanistan; and just as the Zardari regime has pushed further the detrimental policies of Musharraf, so Obama has done the same in terms of accentuating the neocon militarism.
We feel it is time for all hues of the Pakistani nationalist leadership to put aside its other differences and come together on a singular platform of reclaiming Pakistan's sovereignty and national dignity so that we can isolate and fight the militants and extremists in our midst more effectively through a strategy of space denial.
Since the Parliament has failed in pushing the government into taking the necessary steps to end drone attacks and de-link from the deadly US militaristic agenda for this region, PTI has been compelled to bring people on to the streets and take direct action against this loss of sovereignty and drone killings. The Pakistan Air Force chief had declared over a year ago that Pakistan had the technical capability to bring down drones but the political decision was lacking.
The US public has to realise a number of points:
One, that they have to extricate themselves from this so-called 'war on terror' which is causing a loss of $140 billion a year in Afghanistan as well as undermining the US position in the region. Ann Paterson, the previous US ambassador to Pakistan, admitted the adverse impact on the US of the drone policy.
Two, the US is violating its own humanitarian laws with the drone attacks by acting as judge, jury and executioner and incinerating the families and neighbours of suspects.
Three, in the long term, the US 'war on terror' has added to the radicalisation of Muslim youth in the US and Europe.
Today, we Pakistanis of all shades and convictions need to come together to support our Fata brethren and protest their killing and displacement. We have to show by actions that they are one of us and we will not allow the US, Nato or our own misguided rulers to continue their military policies against the people of Fata.
We also want to show that we are sensitive to their developmental needs and the urgency with which Fata needs to be brought into the mainstream of Pakistan. It is not enough to simply issue statements against US policies and drone killings: we need to act so that the voice of the people becomes a force for the rulers to reckon with.
Unless we stand up for our rights nobody will protect us. As we gather together the multiple strands of the Pakistani nation to reclaim our territorial integrity, sovereignty and national dignity, the message will go out to the rulers and their foreign masters that they are nothing without the support of their own nation.

I made this easy meatloaf for my husband. He really liked it . It was very moist. Thanks iewe, Bullwinkle
This was a great and easy recipe. We adjusted to our liking by changing the shredded cheese to canned cheddar cheese and then topped it all with diced onions and tomatoes. It was an instant hit and one I'll surely use again! Thanks for sharing!

It's the only reality show where being a loser is being a winner as African American contestants Michael Dorsey and Alexandra Reid know. The two are losing this season on "The Biggest Loser" with the hopes of earning the show's top prize. This was a particular challenge for Dorsey, a huge fan of The Tom Joyner Morning Show, who was the biggest of the contestants this season.
The 34-year-old Baltimore native began the season at 444 pounds. Despite struggling with weight after injury ended his high school athletic career, the now married father with a divinity degree from Faith Evangelical Seminary wants to return to wrestling, coach his son in sports and do normal things he can't now do, like ride a roller coaster. Though Dorsey was eliminated, he lost 91 pounds on "The Biggest Loser" and has lost even more since he left the ranch.
Reid, a 24-year-old from Carrollton, Texas got real about her weight when she had to drop out of a friend's wedding because she thought she'd fail to fit into the bridesmaid's dress. Now 240 pounds, the Prairie View A&M graduate says "I want to be the best me that I can be in all aspects of my life, including winning this losing battle with my weight. I no longer want to be insecure and self-conscious."
On the next episode of "The Biggest Loser" which airs on NBC Mondays at 8 p.m., contestants must "Face Their Fears" which includes sharks, enclosed spaces and singing in front of people. One contestant even feared eating vegetables. A seven-story building challenged the entire cast to face their fears in order to advance.

What Does Chanukah Mean To You?
Gary Rosenblatt
Editor & Publisher
Photo Galleria:
Chanukah is that most pliable of Jewish festivals. Pick a theme, superficial or substantive, and it's all there in the ancient story of the eight-day observance that begins this year on Tuesday night. It's a holiday that has as many messages as it does English spellings (Hannukah, Chanukah, etc.) Consider: a minor celebration that happens to fall out in December each year; taking the lowest common denominator approach of the coincidence of calendar, many American Jews have upgraded its significance as our answer to Christmas. "Don't feel left out," we tell our kids, surrounded by the sights, sounds and marketing of Santa Claus and Co. "They" (the Christians) "have only one day (for gift-giving) but we have eight." For some, the history and lessons ofChanukah are less important than its length. Eight days in December? We'll take it. Bring on the dreidels and latkes. But if you want a serious, anti-assimilation message, you can point to the heroic Maccabees who refused to yield to the dominant Greek culture and fought to preserve their Jewish identity. Surely unpopular at the time for going against the majority of the community, they persevered and kept the spark of Judaism alive. More power to them, and so much for the let's-embrace-our-neighbors' attitude, say traditionalists. And Jewish militants are sure to emphasize that the real lesson of Chanukah is that the Maccabees fought back against the restrictions placed on their religious life by the Greeks, who desecrated the Temple. More than that, the rebellion led by Mattithias Maccabee and his sons was not only to defeat the Greeks but the Hellenist Jews at the time as well. In fact, then, the Maccabees, who we praise as brave heroes, went to war against the assimilationist Jewish majority — Jews killing Jews in the name of God and religion. Most of us are deeply uncomfortable with that aspect of the Chanukah story, but it's there and we have to deal with it. Liberal Jews, on the other hand, can take note of the fact that ultimately, the intolerant reign of the Maccabees was short-lived and unsuccessful. In the coda to the story that we focus on about the Maccabee brothers, history tells us that their successors, the Hasmoneans, became corrupt and that the civil war among the Jews was ugly and harmful. The lesson we can take away is that in the end, warfare pitting Jew against Jew can only end in tragedy. No doubt most of us prefer the heartwarming symbolism of lights and faith associated with Chanukah. We like to tell of the small cruse of oil, only enough for one night in the Temple, that miraculously lasts for eight nights. This version of the Chanukah story speaks to us with its images of bringing light to the darkness and believing so deeply in keeping the Jewish spark alive that wondrous, unexplainable things happen to save the day,What better analogy of Jewish survival throughout the ages than of that precious bit of oil that kept on burning, against all odds? It was this rededication of the Temple — Chanukah means consecration — that embodies the notion of the triumph of spiritual values over all else. So there you have it, one historical episode with diverse and even competing themes to take away. Part of the enduring genius and vibrancy of Judaism is the ongoing relevance of its stories and the ability to choose different meanings and messages from its narrative and teachings. (Surely environmentalists can look to the Maccabee story as the preservation of nature's resources, and Mideast experts can focus on the importance of oil in the region.) The question for us is which theme will we focus on, and what meaning will we give it? Perhaps our greatest challenge is to accept and even embrace each of the disparate elements of the Chanukah story and seek a way to make sense of them together. Our sages understood human nature and that none of us are all good or evil. Unlike other religions we have no saints or sense of perfection on earth. Judaism acknowledges the constant tension between positive and negative impulses and inclinations within each of us. And so it is that the Chanukah story is about the duty to act on our own and the recognition of miracles from above. It's about the bravery of the Maccabees as well as the limits of warfare; it's about the darkness of intolerance and the light of deep-seated faith. On Chanukah and throughout the year, we struggle to find balance in our lives, between the everyday and the holy, between waging war in the name of God and appreciating the remarkable accomplishments of man. Let's hope that the observance of the holiday this year will not only bring nobility to our awareness of those struggles but also allow us to recognize the small miracles in our lives that can transform us. Happy Chanukah. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Xbox 360 to Run Linux / Homebrew Soon? *Update1*
Posted by XanTium | January 1 01:52 EST
In a very short presentation a masked 'hacker' showed an Xbox 360 booting up King Kong (the game, by ubisoft). After loading the game a screen pops up showing an Xbox 360 logo, a Mac logo and Tux (the Linux Penguin) and the words "coming soon...". I also noticed a small PCB is hanging out of his Xbox360 and he's using a laptop (Apple Macbook pro?), but it's not really clear what he's doing with it.
Those who followed hacking discussions might remember hackers did some research around the vector shaders in the King Kong demo on the Xbox 360 Kiosk Disc (that ran from recordable media). The demo (and final game too) allow to modify the shaders (they are not checked/signed). However no exploit to take control of the machine was found back then ... so either this hacker found something here, or he's just showing us his custom modified shaders
That's all the details we got for now.
If you don't believe the presentation was really given at 23C3, you can download the +560MB WMV video of the complete 'Lightning Talks' Day4 from the CCC mirrors (direct: mirror1, mirror2, mirror3, mirror4, mirror5, mirror6, mirror7). Forward to the 5th presentation and you'll find it there. However note that the video encoding is far from perfect and the audio seems to be broken/missing. The youtube video below shows just the Xbox 360 presentation, with audio:
UPDATE1! Here are some updates from stuff people posted on our forums.
Here's another footage of the presentation filmed by someone in the public.
Some high-res pictures of the presentation. A bit easier to see that small PCB here. Pictures by Darkman at c3f2m.de:

We arrange the Michigan corporate relocation services that meet your needs and keep you on budget.
Palmer cannot emphasize enough its commitment to quality performance. Every move is monitored and evaluated through our customized "Quality Initiative Program" to give you:
The best agent, driver and crew service.

Timely, consistent job tracking

All necessary support and relocation information
Outstanding performance and customer service
It is important that you choose a relocation partner who not only follows and properly implements your relocation policy, but one who does so with a human touch. Every relocation is different, and every transferee has their own special needs. We look at each move individually and provide unique assistance from start to finish - no cookie cutter solutions here!
Don't have a formal relocation policy? We can assist there too! Our unique assistance applies to our Corporate Clients as well! Our staff can assist you in a wide range of relocation programs and tailor each one to your company's needs with our Michigan corporate relocation services. With Palmer Moving and Storage, our commitment to customers by providing the best Michigan employee relocation services is unmatched.
At Palmer Moving & Storage, each and every move we handle begins with a call from one of our highly trained Customer Service Representatives, usually within minutes of your notification to us of an upcoming transfer, to begin the process of personalizing a relocation plan just for them.
Each transferee has a dedicated counselor who will manage each step of the relocation process.
Our initial contact with your transferee will include:
Confirmation of any details provided to us such as address, phone, etc.
Discussion about any planned dates for the relocation.
How we will coordinate their move - if local to us we'll schedule an appointment to have a representative visit them - if out of area, we will tell them who to expect a call from to perform an in-home survey of their household goods.
Details of the client's current residence - can a truck get close? Stairs, elevators, etc.
Details of the destination - can a truck get close? Stairs, elevators, etc.
Any special needs or concerns? Children, pets, storage?
We discuss your relocation policy and the services they are entitled to.
Offer our contact information so they can reach us with any questions or needs they may have in the future.
We then follow up, in writing, with all of the details we gleaned from this conversation.
But it doesn't end there...
We keep in touch with your transferee EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, documenting our contact so every member of our relocation team is in the know, no matter when they become involved.
You're entitled to that information as well, that's why we provide you with a special computer login and password, so you can view the details of all of your relocations as they are happening.
As an agent for North American Van Lines, Palmer Moving and Storage is proud to offer our corporate relocation clients the following state-of-the-art reporting systems on your employee transfers.
Quality Index System
North American Van Lines developed the exclusive Quality Index System to view the quality of our services as perceived by our customers.
The Quality Index System is Web-based and contains the North American Van Lines customer survey results. This system measures all service providers in the area of packing, hauling and booking services and is available to all North American agents. Through this invaluable tool, we are able to identify areas that are important to you and your transferring employees in order to continually improve our services.
How does it work? An independent firm conducts customer satisfaction surveys on a minimum of 32% of all relocations within 72 hours of delivery. This survey asks a variety of questions that range from the initial point of contact through final delivery as well as allowing the customer to offer detailed comments. The data collected is downloaded directly into the Quality Index System so that we can continually monitor, measure and improve customer satisfaction.
Key elements of the system are:
Web-based and available to all our agents and employees.
Used as the basis for selecting our quality award winners.
Quickly and easily identifies area of outstanding service as well as areas in need of improvement.
Focuses on the details our customers find important to ensure we are providing the finest quality of service available.
Creates reports that allow our National Account customers the ability to view the quality of service their employees are receiving at any time.
By simply entering the origin or destination zip code, all agents within a 50 mile radius of the location are identified and ranked by quality.
The Quality Index System is unsurpassed when it comes to quality and was specifically designed to identify the customers perception of what makes a relocation successful.
Quality Performance Rating
The North American Van Lines QPR (Quality Performance Rating) System assigns drivers a rating of 1 (best) through 10 (worst). Their QPR rating includes individual performance with customer satisfaction scores, claims frequency, claims severity, and on time pick-up and delivery performance.
If the driver is held responsible for any loss or damage to a shipment, the QPR rating is used to establish his/her participation in the final claims costs. If a driver has a good quality score their percentage of responsibility for the claim settlement is lower.
You'll find no cookie cutter solutions here - we believe in developing a relocation policy that meets the needs of both your corporation and your employee, while at the same time maintaining a cost effective method of relocation.
More than just a statement of what you're willing to pay to transport the household effects of your employee, a well rounded policy includes provisions for:
Household Good Relocation
Storage of Household Goods
Transportation of Vehicles & RV's
Special Relocation Needs - Pets, Elder Care, etc.
Spouse Employment Assistance
Group Move Management
Relocation Expense Tracking
Area Cost of Living Differentials
Temporary Housing
Short Term & Long Term Storage
Home Sales & Marketing Assistance
Home Purchase Services
Property Management
Mortgage Assistance
These are just a few of the topics that can, and should, be covered in a complete corporate relocation policy. Why not meet with us and find out how we can help put our more than 90 years of relocation experience to work for you!

"A New Place to Call Home" Port Coquitlam by kehale
Port Coquitlam Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 13 photos
In February of 2012, my boyfriend was offered something that we absolutely could not turn down - the chance to move to British Columbia. Though neither of us had ever travelled to the West Coast, we couldn't turn down the opportunity to explore so many (beautiful new places). In mid March they flew the three of us out there to begin our search for our rental home. With my boyfriend's job being located pretty far North in Coquitlam, we settled on looking in this area. We loved the view of the mountains from pretty much anywhere in the area, and were excited that this would soon be the place we would call home, and raise our little girl.

The effects of learning on sexual orientation are rarely addressed in the literature. At the very least, such processes provide a means of elaborating upon orientation predispositions. Some aspects of our mates may inherently elicit a sexual response, but other attributes do so only after sexual experience with them. Animal research shows robust, direct effects of conditioning processes on partner preference with a few studies showing plasticity in preference for sex of partner. Descriptive research in humans suggests effects of experience on partner preference and, although experimental demonstrations of human sexual conditioning are neither numerous nor robust, sexual arousal is conditionable in women and men. With modern developments in learning theory (e.g., expectancy learning and evaluative conditioning), it seems appropriate to renew the investigation of contributions and limitations of conditioning processes to explaining how cues acquire erotic value and to attempt some integration between the sexual conditioning literature and research on sexual orientation or more generally sexual partner preference.

And sometimes it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It would be interesting to see how he rates at FO or PFF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to introduce myself and my weekly Weakly SEC Football Predictions contribution that you can read each and every week of the 2014 college football season at FBSchedules.com.
My name is Eric Taylor and I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I currently work in the world of employee benefits and write for Stadium Journey (StadiumJourney.com) as Tennessee's Regional Correspondent. I owned and wrote for my own website, PuntOnThirdDown.com, but have had to pull an Old Yeller and put it down so that I may focus on writing for Stadium Journey and FBSchedules.com.
NOTE: PuntOnThirdDown.com was neither rabid nor did it have anything to do with dogs or old classic movies that make kids cry.
Let me answer the first question everyone that read the title and thought "I'm sending @FBSchedules a Tweet so that I may look cool and tell them how they are no grammarian like myself — No, "weakly" is not misspelled.
The fine folks at FBSchedules.com have a guy named Brian Wilmer that writes a fantastic piece titled Clear Your Schedule that previews the SEC and ACC conference games you should watch on your HD television each week. Wilmer brings a ton of stats and analysis that will not only inform you, but will make you a better person. Being that Wilmer writes a weekly piece that will make you a better person, we found it crucial to have a guy who wrote a weakly SEC prediction piece that won't make you a better person, but certainly will not make you one bit worse. Is there a writer out there than can claim the same? That answer is a resounding, "NO!" Thus, I present to you a "Weakly" prediction for all games involving teams from the SEC.
I should humbly warn you that what is considered "weak" for me would be "tantalizing brilliance" for the casual college football fan, so it's crucial to know that up-front. My hope with this weekly weakly contribution is to mix three parts tongue-in-cheek and one part bet-your-family's-hopes-and-dreams-on-these-games-because-my-predictions-are-eerily-accurate to create a prediction contribution unlike any other inside the information superhighway internet.
In other words, you will begin to feel suspicious that you may somehow have come to possess something equally as powerful as the sports almanac carried by Marty McFly in Back to the Future while reading my weekly weakly predictions.
I do NOT predict games based on point-spread. This is not a gambling piece. Of course, gambling would insinuate that my predictions could be wrong, but I digress. I take it upon myself to predict the final score and how the game will arrive at that final score. Is that a ton to take upon myself? Sure. But I humbly humble myself so that I may do great things like this for you, the fan.
You're welcome.
I look forward to my first set of predictions that will be available for you to read the week of August 30th. Come back to FBSchedules.com each week for the Weakly SEC Football Predictions and tell a friend. After telling that friend about the site, why don't the both of you follow me on Twitter at @EricFromSpfld so you can congratulate me on the games I got right?
Hang in there, everyone. Saturdays will soon mean something again and my weakly predictions will make every day mean something.
When is Amy posting another article?
i cried the first time i saw ole yeller two.
i actually wanted to comment(vent) on an article on espn.com about the power five conferences only playing other power five schools in their out of conference games, i stopped reading that article at this point – "Many of the Power Five conference coaches in college football told ESPN that they favor a schedule consisting of only Power Five opponents.
Of the 65 Power Five coaches from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and Notre Dame…………………………………..i hate notre dame, they ruin every college football discussion, there is all this talk about nthe college football playoff commitee put emphasis on winning youre conference, notre dame isnt in a conference cause they think theyre special, i hate notre dmae
ESPN has destroyed college sports as we know them….and Kevin,seriously,why another SEC theme column? Don't you have love for us West Coast fans????

Rihanna is the new face of Armani Jeans and Underwear
Taking over the roll for Megan Fox, Rihanna has been announced as the newest face of Armani Jeans and Underwear. Rihanna will be the face of the brand's Fall/Winter 2011 collection and the campaign will begin in September. If Megan Fox's ads were any indication, I'm sure Rihanna's are going to be just as hot!

Megan Fox heads to the salon with her family, including Brian Austin Green's son Kassius. Megan is preparing to head to Abu Dhabi next week to promote the launch of LG Cinema 3D TV. I wonder what else Megan has on tap in terms of projects?
Megan has been wearing her Frankie B destroyed ankle zip skinny jeans quite a bit recently, including to the Lakers play off game a few weeks ago. You can buy Frankie B online at their website.
Megan Fox in Frankie B.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green cheer on the LA Lakers during the playoff game against the New Orleans Hornets. The Lakers wound up beating the Hornets in the 5th game of the series, 106-90.
Megan showed her support for the team, wearing an LA Lakers tee shirt and a pair of destroyed ankle zip skinny jeans from Frankie B. She topped of her outfit with a number 24 hat, Kobe Bryant's number. You can buy Frankie B. online at Frankieb.com.

Megan Fox in James Jeans
Megan Fox was seen picking up some things at the Madison Boutique on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, California a few days ago. She kept it really casual in green flip flops, a pinstripe shirt, a cap and a pair of James Jeans Twiggy denim leggings in Celeste wash. I'm not too keen on how Megan has cuffed them though.
I heard that Megan's latest movie 'Passion Play' was going straight to DVD but it will still be getting a theatrical release. This kind of doesn't make any sense to me at all? I would like to see more of Megan's style though, she seems to be keeping a really low profile lately so we don't spot her out as much. Buy James Jeans at Singer22.com.

Running Time: 112 Min.
Director: Brad Armstrong
Company: Wicked Pictures

Cast: Alektra Blue, Jessica Drake, India Summer, Xander Corvus, Kris Slater, Marcus London, Tanya Tate, Ash Hollywood, Derrick Pierce, Eric Masterson, Seth Gamble, Dale DaBone, Brad Armstrong, Rocco Reed, Kortney Kane
Non-sex Roles: Veronica Hart, James Bartholet, Others
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Vignette
They may seem familiar, but they're not quite as you remember them. Beloved bedtime stories of old have been brought back in a darker, more depraved form. No longer sweet and watered down, these are tales of sex and sin, passion, perversion, and desire and debauchery. Join Wicked Pictures and award winning director Brad Armstrong as they bring you the next chapter in their erotic fairy tale anthology with stories your mother never told you....
The dark, true origins of children's fairy tales are perverted once again by AVN Hall of Fame performer/director Brad Armstrong in this follow-up to the critically-acclaimed original. It's shot well by Francois Clousot, and couples will adore this fun vignette romp, without a doubt. The production value makes it a must-stock in your Wicked section, even if the Ren Faire-inspired wardrobe gets in the way of the fucking a bit much.
Wicked contract performer/director Jessica Drake gives fine head to AVN's Best Male Newcomer Xander Corvus, who plays a pervy Rumplestiltskin. Corvus also fucks Drake, popping his load on her ass cheek. Drake's turn as Goldilocks is more satisfying, with bear hunters Armstrong, Dale DaBone and Marcus London making her pay for squatting in their house with a truly great blowbang. Drake also takes part in a group scene set against a stone wall, with Kortney Kane and fellow contract performer Alektra Blue, that has too much techno music laid over the sexy doings.
AVN's MILF/Cougar Performer of the Year India Summer plays a wicked witch who roofies Hansel and Gretel (played by Ash Hollywood and Seth Gamble) with doped-up sweets into a good threeway. MILF supreme Tanya Tate is the Blue Fairy who takes Pinocchio Kris Slater's virginity.

I am having overheating issues with my PC, this obviously occurs when it is under load (such as playing games).
The GPU and CPU heat up to about 87 degrees celcius.
However I have 4gb of Corsair Dominator RAM (pdf) and it seems to be reaching 100 degrees as the machine overheats.
This model of ram comes with heatsinks attached and a small set of 3 fans that mount on top of the RAM modules. The memory is not overclocked and is running at 800mhz.l
I am using RivaTuner and simply examining the temperatures after the machine has frozen. Could someone also perhaps recommend a good temperature diagnostic tool?
Is 100 degrees C normal? What can I do to stop overheating?
