|A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (January 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
David Michael Rohl (born 12 September 1950 in Barton-upon-Irwell, Eccles) is an English Egyptologist[1] and former director of the Institute for the Study of Interdisciplinary Sciences (ISIS) who from the 1980s has put forth several unconventional theories [2] revising the chronology of Ancient Egypt and Israel to form an alternative new chronology.
He currently lives in the Marina Alta, Spain.
Rohl traces his fascination with ancient Egypt to a visit of that country at the age of nine, which featured a journey on the Nile on King Farouk's paddle-steamer.
He first worked as a rock musician, forming a band in 1968, (Sign of Life, later Ankh), which were signed by Vertigo, but split up after Vertigo rejected the finished product.[3] In 1969/70 Rohl completed an Institute of Incorporated Photographers degree at the University of Manchester,[4] before forming a new group, Mandalaband, which released two albums, Mandalaband (1975 - "an ambitious concept inspired by the Chinese occupation of Tibet"[3]) and The Eye of Wendor (1978). About 1974, Rohl started work as a sound engineer, ultimately becoming chief engineer at Strawberry Studios, the Stockport home of the group 10cc. Royalties from four solo artist and composing recording contracts enabled him to retire from music and focus on Egyptology, in particular to develop the New Chronology which he had been working on for five years during his music career.[5]
In 1985 Rohl became the first Director of the Institute for the Study of Interdisciplinary Sciences (ISIS), and editor of its Journal of the Ancient Chronology Forum since 1986. In 1988 he was accepted by University College, London and awarded the prestigious W.F. Masom History Research Scholarship by the University of London as well as being awarded his degree in Ancient History and Egyptology in 1990. He then began his research on a doctoral thesis entitled "A re-examination of the Chronology of the Third Intermediate Period in Egypt" but failed to complete the PhD due to long-term book writing and TV commitments.[citation needed] He is a past President of the Sussex Egyptology Society (SES) and edited the The Followers of Horus: Eastern Desert Survey Report.[6] He excavated at Kadesh in Syria for the London Institute of Archaeology during the 1990s, and was Co-Field Director of the Eastern Desert Survey in Egypt.[citation needed]
The publication of his book, A Test of Time led to his role in a three-part television documentary, "Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest", which appeared late summer 1995 on Channel 4 in the UK, and spring 1996 on The Learning Channel/Discovery in the USA.
Following a thirty-year break from music composition and production, Rohl reformed a new incarnation of Mandalaband to release the first album of a two-part progressive rock concept work, BC - Ancestors, in 2009, and followed by its partner album, AD - Sangreal, in 2011. BC - Ancestors follows the Old Testament story of humanity from the Garden of Eden through to the birth of the Roman Empire.[7] AD - Sangreal follows on, describing the contemporary history and legends of the Sangreal (Holy Grail), from the Last Supper over the next 1000 years.[citation needed]
According to the 2015 documentary Patterns of Evidence: Exodus, in which Rohl discusses his research about the New Chronology of the ancient near east, David Rohl is agnostic.[8]
New Chronology[edit]
The New Chronology is an unconventional revised Chronology of the ancient Near East created by Rohl. It involves a major revision of the conventional chronology of ancient Egypt, in particular by redating Egyptian kings of the 19th through 25th Dynasties. Rohl asserts that the New Chronology allows scholars to identify some of the main characters in the Old Testament with people whose names appear in archaeological finds. The New Chronology has not gained acceptance among Egyptologists.
Garden of Eden[edit]
In addition to his theories on Egypt, Rohl has put forth other theories related to the Old Testament. In his published work, Legend: The Genesis of Civilisation, he posits a location for the legendary Garden of Eden in Iranian Azarbaijan, in the vicinity of Tabriz upon which the Genesis tradition was based. According to Rohl, the Garden of Eden was then located in a long valley to the north of Sahand volcano, near Tabriz. He cites several geographical similarities and toponyms which he believes match the biblical description. These similarities include: the nearby headwaters of the four rivers of Eden, the Tigris (Heb. Hiddekel, Akk. Idiqlat), Euphrates (Heb. Perath, Akk. Purattu), Gaihun-Aras (Heb., Gihon), and Uizun (Heb. Pishon); the mountain range of Kusheh Dagh (the land of Cush); and Upper and Lower Noqdi (the Land of Nod).[9][10] In the same work, he develops a local flood theory for the Genesis Flood, positing that the biblical reference to the covering of "all the high mountains" is merely a description of the flooding of cities in the plains of Mesopotamia on the basis that the Hebrew word 'har' does not just mean 'mountain' but also 'hill' and 'city mound'. In his book From Eden to Exile: Unraveling Mysteries of the Bible, Eric H. Cline, writing about Rohl's suggestion for the location of Eden, says "his suggestions have not caught on with the scholarly establishment. His argument is not helped by the fact that it depends upon speculations regarding the transmission of place-names for both the various rivers and nearby related areas from antiquity to the present. In the end, while Rohl's suggestion is not out of the question, it seems no more probable than any other hypothesis, and less likely than those suggested by Speiser, Zarins, and Sauer."[11]

DOE Awards $11.2 Million for Hydrogen Research
DOE announced on May 15th its selection of 13 projects to be awarded $11.2 million for research in hydrogen production, storage, and conversion technologies. Seven of the projects will focus on novel materials for hydrogen storage, including complex metal hydrides and nanostructured materials, which have structural features on the scale of a billionth of a meter, or nanometer. The remaining six projects are aimed at developing nanoscale catalysts for hydrogen storage; hydrogen production from water, biomass, or coal; and the conversion of hydrogen to electricity in fuel cells. The awardees include nine universities and four of DOE's national laboratories: Argonne, Brookhaven, Oak Ridge, and Pacific Northwest. DOE's Office of Science selected the new projects through a merit-reviewed, competitive solicitation process and plans to fund additional projects in fiscal year 2008. See the DOE press release and the DOE Hydrogen Program Web site.

Pocahontas County will be competing in its second state tournament in four years when the Warriors take to the Charleston Civic Center floor one last time with veteran coach Bob Sheets.
Sheets, who is retiring after 30 years as Pocahontas County's head coach, knows his squad has a tough task in the first round when they face top-seeded St. Marys in the Class A tourney.
"It's a tough challenge playing St. Marys," Sheets said. "The kids are happy with their draw, though. They know it will be a tough game, but I feel they're ready for the competition."
The Warriors (14-11) advanced to the state tournament after defeating Fayetteville 44-35 in the regional final last week.
Pocahontas County is led by senior forward Dillon Kelly, who is averaging 18.1 points per game.
Senior guard Jed Sheets (14.9) and senior guard Steve Halterman (10.6) are also averaging double figures for the Warriors.
"We'll need our three top scorers to step up and have good games offensively," Sheets said. "They've had good games in the playoffs this year, so hopefully they can carry that over into the state tournament."
Senior guard Skylar Knisely (7.8) and junior guard Tyler Davis are other key players for Pocahontas County.
"We'll need some of our bench players to step up and contribute,," Sheets said. "We've had some scoring this year from our bench and we're really going to need them against St. Marys."
The Blue Devils (23-1) advanced after defeating Bishop Donahue 70-57 in regional play.
The Blue Devils are led by senior forward K.D. Arnett (17.4) and senior guard Derek Renner (17.1).
"We need to try and slow down their top guys and limit them to one chance when they have the ball," Sheets said. "There an all-around good team, so defensively we're going to have to come ready to play.
"We're going to also need to have a good game on the boards if we want to have any chance of winning."
Tip-off for the contest is slated for 5:30 p.m.
The winner will play the Midland Trail/Tucker County winner Friday at 7:15 p.m.

Zeus (Jupiter)
Zeus (Jupiter)'s Clique: Oak and Thunder Club
Zeus and Thor have an exclusive two-god club. What do they do? Well, their secret club meets under an oak tree and they nerd out over their interest in meteorology.
Thor is a rough and tough Norse god known for taking down giants with his magical hammer. He's also associated with lightning, thunder, and the oak tree. Sounds a lot like Zeus, doesn't he? Zeus chucks bolts of lightning down to earth with his bare hands, but Thor has a hammer to make thunder and chariot that create lightning. Both gods are also linked to the oak tree, maybe because oaks are "more likely than other trees to be struck by lightning, and more likely to survive a strike" (source).

Hi Pete,
I agree, ACPI is certainly the way to go with newer laptops, but this one
is about 5 years old now, so most likely, it won't be ACPI compliant.
I do recall that when I had Windows installed on this computer at one
stage, there was mention of ACPI in the device manager, but I don't think
that this is necessarily referring to assignment of resources (although I
do find it a little strange).
Do you (or anyone else reading this) know of a way to check (other than
recompiling the Kernel) to see if this notebook has ACPI?

Derbyshire enjoy solid day
Watch free daily video highlights from every LV= County Championship match here on ecb.co.uk this summer
A defiant last-wicket stand and good progress with the ball meant LV= County Championship Division One newcomers Derbyshire had their brightest day of the campaign so far at Lord's.
After Sam Robson continued his solid start to the season with 68 at the top of the order, Middlesex closed the second day on 179 for six in reply to Derbyshire's 231, 52 runs in arrears.
From an overnight 205 for nine, Tim Groenewald and Mark Turner carried their 10th-wicket partnership on to 50 before the former was caught behind for 25 off Tim Murtagh, leaving the latter 22 not out.
With a relatively modest score to defend, Derbyshire needed early success with the ball.
Giving their former captain Chris Rogers a life was not in the plan; Dan Redfern dived in front of first slip from second and spilled a catch off Tony Palladino.
To their huge relief, it did not cost them dearly as Groenewald, in a good spell from the Pavilion End that brought him 1-10 in seven overs, had Rogers lbw for 16 soon after.
Middlesex made solid headway through Robson and Joe Denly, who added 50 for the second wicket - albeit with the former enjoying a reprieve on 22 when Wayne Madsen shelled a head-high chance off Jonathan Clare.
But, yet again, Derbyshire quickly made amends; in Clare's next over and with only one more run added to the score, Denly drove at a wide ball, on 34, and first slip Wes Durston took a comfortable catch.
In the space of 10 deliveries, Middlesex were in some trouble at 90 for four, with Dawid Malan caught behind off Turner and the luckless Neil Dexter chopping down on the first ball of Palladino's second spell and watching as it rolled on to his stumps.
A heavy burst of rain stalled Derbyshire's progress and they had to wait until the 17th over after the resumption for a fifth wicket, but it was a big one as Robson edged Clare to first slip.
In the next over, John Simpson nicked Durston's off-spinner to slip to make it 140 for six, yet wicketkeeper Tom Poynton put down a low chance off Ollie Rayner soon after.
It proved costly as he moved on to 16 not out, seeing Middlesex to the close alongside Gareth Berg - who will resume on 27.

October is the American Humane Association's Adopt-A-Dog month.
For Sharon Paul of Marietta, every month, week and day of the year is the right time to help a dog-or cat-find a new home.
Paul is an active volunteer at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley, who can most often be seen inside or on the grounds there, snapping photos of the cats and dogs who are awaiting adoption.

SHARON BOPP The Marietta Times
Volunteer and animal lover Sharon Paul of Marietta snuggles with Taco, a dog available for adoption at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley, after taking his photo there Friday.
"I guess I'm the official shelter photographer," Paul said.
Not only does Paul takes lots of photos of each dog and cat who is brought to the shelter, she also takes snapshots at the humane society's special events like Paws Walk and adoption events.
"I do anything to get some publicity out for the humane society," she said.
Fact Box
Sharon Paul
Volunteer at Humane Society of the Ohio Valley since 2008.
"Official" humane society photographer; takes photos of dogs and cats who come to the shelter, taking time to capture each animal's personality in the shot.
Editor of "Humane Society of the Ohio Valley" newsletter.
Serves as feline rescue coordinator.
Paul admitted she spends 10 to 12 hours each day on volunteer work for the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.
"I'm out there at least three hours in the afternoon, taking pictures," she said.
Later Paul downloads the photos onto her computer, edits them and chooses the three best snapshots of each animal.
"She goes home and spends more time trying to see if she can find places to adopt some of our animals," said Steve Herron, executive director of the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.
Final photos are put on the link to Pet Finders available on the humane society website (hsov.org) and on its Facebook page (go to facebook.com, then type 'Humane Society of the Ohio Valley' in the search box)-along with each animal's name and a description of his/her personality.
"I have seen Sharon take numerous pictures of the same animal until she can capture their personality or their 'best side' in order to make them more adoptable," said humane society volunteer Kathy Mallett.
Paul said she has developed a "feel" for the animals.
"Sometimes the eyes just tell the story," she added. "They're like little windows to their souls."
The shelter staff members are also good about letting Paul know about each animal's temperament and any interesting or sad story about how they got to the shelter.
"That appeals to people. It helps the cat or dog," said Paul.
She also names the dogs and cats who arrive without one.
"People don't understand how important a name is," said Kelly Schubert, Washington County dog warden and humane society board member, who has been working with Paul for about five years. "If you just know their names, it makes their day."
Paul admitted she gets a lot of teasing about the names she picks.
"Some are silly or theme names or something catchy," she said.
Paul has named shelter animals after candy bars, Italian men and even rappers. Four kittens were recently given the names Kid Rock, Kid Sister, Lil Wayne and Eminem.
"That got a lot of attention," Paul said laughingly.
Paul and her husband have two pets they adopted from the humane society-Kachina, the "foster failure cat," as Paul called her, and a beagle named Lucy.
The plight of the animals she tends to sometimes overwhelms Paul.
Once she told a fellow volunteer friend "I don't think I can keep doing this. It's just so sad."
The friend's advice: "Give yourself an evening to cry, get a good night's sleep, dry your tears and go back the next day and do what you can to help the animals."
According to Schubert, Paul is the animals' lifeline.
"If not for her, we wouldn't have half the rate of adoptions we do," she said.
Should Paul ever stop volunteering for the humane society, "It would be some big shoes to fill," Herron said.
"We would have to find two or three people to do what she does," he added.
Paul encouraged others in the area to consider the volunteer opportunities available at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.
To volunteer or adopt an animal, contact the humane society at 373-5959 or hsov.org.

A quick word about alcohol
Here is my final writeup of the Thursday-into-Friday city council meeting, the longest meeting in recent memory. Paywalled, and it won't tell you anything you didn't already know if you followed my live coverage, except that Joe Putnam is calling the new proposal to set different alcohol limits in different neighborhoods illegal (contrary to the mayor, city attorney and apparently TABC).
Some technical difficulties prevented me from getting maps Friday of the areas that would get higher alcohol limits under the new proposal. They comprise much of north Irving: Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, the TOD districts along the Orange Line and the 161 and 183 corridors. Hopefully I can get a map online Monday.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Washington Governor Approves Kittitas Valley Wind Power Project
September 19, 2007
A wind power project that will use up to 65 wind turbines to generate 130 megawatts of electricity was approved by Washington Governor Christine Gregoire on September 18. A key consideration was Washington voters' approval in 2006 of a renewable portfolio standard (RPS).
The project will be sited in the Kittitas Valley, about 100 miles east of Seattle and 12 miles west of Ellensburg. The turbines will be spread out over 6,000 acres of cattle grazing land, leased from local residents and the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Horizon Wind Energy will build, own, and operate the facility.
In June, Gregoire directed the Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) to reconsider the recommended setback for some of the turbines from the residences of nonparticipating landowners. EFSEC modified its conditions to require that each individual turbine be located to maximize distance from homes rather than maximize energy production.
Although the Kitittas County Board of Commissioners voted against the project, and may appeal the decision, Gregoire cited the message that Washington voters sent when they approved an RPS in 2006. The standard requires that 15 percent of all electricity used by major utilities come from renewable sources by 2020.
"It is the clear and compelling policy of the state to prefer new resources that have the least impact on our state's natural environment," Gregoire wrote in a September 18 letter to the EFSEC. "Our legislators and our citizens have recently articulated their strong preferences for renewable resources. Those policies are not in doubt …The benefits of this project are considerable and will accrue to the citizens across our state."
The benefits expected from the wind plant include:
- Eliminating approximately 230,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 1,690 tons of sulfur and nitrogen oxide from the atmosphere each year
- Creating about 125 full- and part-time jobs in Kittitas County and increasing total income to the county by almost $5 million during the construction period
- Creating 10 additional local jobs and increasing income to the county from salaries and operations expenses by more than $1.5 million annually
- Increasing property tax revenues by more than $1 million dollars annually — an increase of 5 percent — with the majority of the increase coming from property tax paid on the wind turbines.
Horizon Wind Energy states that the Kittitas Valley was chosen for the project site because of its proven wind resource, access to electric transmission lines, and compatibility with existing land uses.
For more information, see the governor's September 18 press release and the Horizon Wind Energy project description.

PROSPECT — Burglars broke into Pacific Power's Prospect power plant last month and stole numerous pieces of equipment, including ground cables, an air compressor, a shop vacuum, new LED floodlights, an electric grease gun, an infrared heat gun, a garden hose, and an emergency radio and power supply.
"(The equipment) is related to maintenance work going on at the hydro project," said Pacific Power spokesman Tom Gauntt. "There is a fair amount of specialized equipment that goes into that." The value of the property taken totaled about $7,000, Gaunt said.
Jackson County Sheriff's Lt. Christine Bronson said that multiple burglaries took place at the site between Aug. 21 and Sept 1.
"They were hit four times in about a 10-day period of time," she said.
The break-ins happened at generator buildings in the 1100 block of Mill Creek Drive in Prospect.
The latest theft was reported Sunday, Sept. 1, by a company employee, who said the burglars struck between 2:15 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, and 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 1. The thieves cut a lock on a gate and drove up a private road to get into the buildings. Surveillance equipment is installed at the site, Gauntt said.
While four thefts from the same station is a lot, company officials said that power lines being cut and stolen is more common.
"As far as breaking into facilities and taking tools, that happens as well, and it's part of the hazard of operating in fairly remote areas," Gauntt said.
Pacific Power is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution of those involved.
Anyone who noticed anything in the late afternoon to early-morning hours between Aug. 21 and Sept. 1 should contact the sheriff's department tip line at 541-774-8333 or by email at email@example.com.
Reach reporter Ryan Pfeil at 541-776-4468 or email@example.com.

Lorene Anderson and Michael Hocking were united in marriage on March 3 at Murrietta's Well Winery in Livermore, Calif. The Rev. Rich Menefee officiated the double-ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Cynthia and Jerrel Anderson of Vienna, W.Va. She is the granddaughter of the late Laura and Lester Anderson of Milan, Ill. and the late Leona and Virgil Anderson of East Moline, Ill. She is a 1984 graduate of Parkersburg High School, a graduate of Miami University of Ohio with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Metalsmithing with a minor in French, and she received her Master of Fine Arts in painting from University of California, Berkeley in 1990. She is a freelance web designer and an artist (painter) represented by the George Lawson Gallery in Los Angeles, Calif.
The bridegroom is the son of the late Ann McConville Hunt of Redding, Calif. and Paul Hocking of San Carlos, Calif. He is the grandson of the late Loren and Helen Hunt of Berkeley, Calif. He attended Berkeley High School in Berkeley, Calif. and received his bachelor's degree in International Relations and History with a minor in German from San Francisco State University. He is a Property Manager at Lake Royal Apartments.
The bride was escorted to the altar by her father and given in marriage by her parents. She wore a silk georgette art deco-inspired, mermaid silhouette gown with a corset back and pleat details. She carried a bouquet of peach roses, white mini calla lilies, white ranunculus, narcissus, and yellow Craspedia.
The maid of honor was the bride's sister, Cheryl Anderson, of Oakland, Calif. She wore a pleated chiffon iridescent-plum cocktail length dress and carried a bouquet of purple mini calla lilies, white ranunculus and narcissus, and yellow Craspedia. All floral arrangements were designed by Barb Eaton, a friend of the bride.
Tom Hanley served as best man. Guest Registrar was Kim Huwiler (nee Bailey) of Louisville, Ky., formerly of Vienna, W.Va. A reading was given by Nancy Sones, cousin of the bride. Soloist was Emily Sones, cousin of the bride, and the usher was Stuart Sones, cousin of the bride.
The ceremony was held outdoors overlooking the winery's vineyards. Wine and hors d'oeuvres were served after the ceremony, followed by a three-course dinner and dancing in the winery's barrel room. The wedding cake was a three-tier chocolate cake filled with dark chocolate mousse and fresh raspberries, decorated with a chocolate swirl Jackson Pollock style design inspired by how the couple met - a conversation starter was a joke about the abstract painter Jackson Pollock.
The couple honeymooned in Costa Rica and resides in Oakland, Calif.

Fantastic Fest Mini: 'Gentlemen Broncos' and settling in
As the first day of Fantastic Fest ends and I prepare to take a quick nap before diving into my second full day of programming, I want to take a quick look back at what we've already seen in the first day.
I got into town around noon, picked up my car, and then immediately drove straight to the S. Lamar Alamo Drafthouse, where badge pickup takes place. I love the Alamo staff, and the volunteers, and the festival programmers, and the audience... it's one of those happy collisions where everyone seems to be in the same general spirit, everyone here for the same reason. There's no other festival anywhere that works so hard to keep so many people so happy, and as soon as I walked through the doors of the theater, all the stress of the last few weeks started to melt away.
A quick lunch at Threadgill's, an hour or two of unconsciousness, and then I was up and on my way downtown for the opening night movie at the Paramount. I adore the Alamo, but over the last year, I've begun to warm to the particular charms of the Paramount, a true movie palace that's been an Austin fixture since the vaudeville days. It's a very different vibe than the Alamo screens, but as soon as Tim League took the stage tonight, he made it clear that he is ready for this year's party to get started. His special thanks were particularly poignant tonight, with his mention of his awesome wife Keri, who is so obviously a big part of Tim's ongoing success. For a guy who is slowly but surely taking over the world, Tim still seems like he's not about anything other than entertaining an audience.
[more after the jump]
To that end, he programmed a comedy as the opening night film of Fantastic Fest for the second year in a row. Last year, it was "Zack & Miri Make A Porno" to kick things off, and that went incredibly well. As much as Tim loves Jared Hess and as much as that crowd tonight went into the screening pumped up and ready to start the festival, I think this year's opening night film may have landed with a more pronounced thud than last year's, and the reasons have a lot to do with where Hess is headed as a filmmaker.
Like Wes Anderson, Hess is a guy who has a very particular comic style that he seems to be cultivating from film to film, and like Anderson, there is a danger that the style could calcify and turn his films into exercises in empty design. I seem to be in a minority in that my favorite of Hess's films is "Nacho Libre," which I liked because it was aimed so squarely at kids. Here, Hess aims at the world of sci-fi fandom and struggling authors, and the results are wildly uneven. There are some real laughs in the film, and there are some great random images and moments, but overall, this film just plain feels too arch, too willfully wacky.
The funniest things in the film are Jemaine Clement as pompous hack Dr. Ronald Chevalier and Sam Rockwell playing various incarnations of a character in a book that was written by Benjamin (Michael Angarano) and then plagiarized by Chevalier. There's a great title sequence using SF paperback cover art as a motif, and the various visualizations of the books being written by both Benjamin and Chevalier are suitably deranged. I also really like the way the film wraps up, with an act of parental pride becoming a major plot point. Justice is served in the best possible way, and any writer should appreciate the way things wrap up.
But the film is uneven, and for the first time, Hess seems to really wallow in the American Grotesque that he's so drawn to. I know he's made his career by making films about misfits, but everyone in this film is so ugly on the outside that it's hard to look at. I don't mind ugly in my comedy... John Waters has made a rich and disturbing career out of it... but there's no point to what Hess does here. He's not illuminating. Instead, he seems to just be pointing and laughing, something I didn't get from his first two films.
In the end, "Gentlemen Broncos" is a film that will appeal directly to a very small and specific audience, but I suspect most people will find themselves worn out by Hess and his general take on the comedy of standing around in awkward silence. This is going to be a hard sell for Fox Searchlight, but I admire the effort if not the execution.
I just hope Hess is ready to prove soon that he's got more clubs in the golf bag. Right now, it's starting to wear thin.
I'll have more on Fantastic Fest after a quick bit of shut-eye, and I'll have my guest reviewer sending in his first report sometime today, too.
Busy, busy, busy, and loving every second of it.

Opinion: The housing election?
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government
'Tight fight' predicted for local council elections
Colin Wiles considers the chances of housing playing a big part in next year's election.
The 1951 census showed that the housing crisis was worse than anyone had imagined. Nearly four in 10 homes had no fixed bath, 22% did not have exclusive use of a WC and the shortage of homes was found to be double the assumed figure – a deficit of 1.4 million homes in England and Wales.
Even though the census results did not appear until after the election, housing featured strongly in the campaign. One election manifesto stated, "Housing is the first of the social services…Work, family life, health and education are all undermined by overcrowded homes. Therefore (we) will give housing a priority second only to national defence. Our target remains 300,000 houses a year."
This was, of course, the Conservative manifesto, and it highlights the strong political consensus on housing that existed after the war, something highlighted by the SHOUT campaign.
With an election less than a year away, could housing issues influence the ballot box to the same extent as in 1951? You would think that rising house prices and rents, increasing levels of homelessness and a growing priced-out generation should pave the way for housing to feature heavily in the election headlines. But will it?
Polling figures presented by Ben Marshall of IPSOS MORI at the CIH conference may provide some answers. First, the good news: the number of people rating housing as the key issue has risen from 7% in 2009 to 14% now (although it was 27% in 1974 and 16% in 2007) and eight in 10 agree there is a housing crisis, (although four in 10 blame immigration for soaring house prices – more on this below). Six out of 10 also believe that the housing crisis is something that can be tackled by government, and is not an act of nature. Another encouraging statistic is an apparent preference for social housing to be built rather than homes for sale.
Perversely, even though eight out of 10 agree that there is a national housing crisis, only four in 10 support new homes being built in their local area (three in ten oppose it).
But the figures also reveal a clear split between owners and renters: 54% of renters disagree that there is enough affordable housing in their local area compared to 43% of owners, and 50% of renters support local house-building compared to only 35% of owners. What's more, 60% of owners are absolutely likely to vote at the next election compared to 46% of renters.
Research by Generation Rent shows that over nine in 10 of those who have lived in their home for more than five years are registered to vote, compared with just two in 10 of those who have rented their homes for less than a year. The growth of the private rented sector has effectively disenfranchised a vast swathe of the population. Elderly homeowners are almost twice as likely to vote as 18-24 year olds, and this is precisely the group that is likely to oppose new house-building, so it becomes doubly difficult for the voices of the poorly housed to be heard in any campaign.
More worryingly, the IPSOS MORI polling shows that immigration is vying with the economy as the top concern for voters. The biggest unknown about next year's election is whether UKIP will repeat their success at the Euro elections. Immigration and the economy are both strong housing issues, so we should be able to exploit them: firstly to show the clear links between house-building and economic growth, and, more importantly, to challenge UKIP's simplistic (and only) housing policy that closing the door to immigration is the answer to the housing crisis.
The growth of the private rented sector may be also be decisive in the campaign. Generation Rent's research shows that 35% of private renters could cast their votes according to manifesto housing pledges.
The final point is that voters are still fairly ignorant about politics and housing. 52% of voters say "none" or " don't know " when asked which party has the best housing policies, while four in ten don't think parties pay much attention to housing as an issue. We clearly have a problem in persuading the main parties to prioritise housing as an issue.
For me, the message is quite clear. The potential exists to make housing a significant election issue but we will need to focus upon three clear issues and groups.
First, to persuade influential elderly homeowners of the need for new homes, both nationally and locally. Second, to challenge the simplistic UKIP message on immigration and housing, and third to focus upon those constituencies where private renters can make a difference to the outcome. Beyond this, we need to keep banging the drum for housing, and make sure that the main parties recognise it as a key electoral issue.
Not much to do is there?

Rated 4 out of 5�by OldSkaterJohn Order A Size Larger than your Street Shoe Size I wear a size 10.5 mens in a street shoe. I was advised that I should order a size 10 in these skates, but even a size 11 was on the tight side. They are sized on the narrow side, so I am hoping a size 12 will fit well. Have not tried these for skating yet, but they seem good quality. February 17, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Noah47 Great skates! These are great skates! My first pair of roller skates, but comparing them to the Rollerblades I've had before, they are very nice. The brakes are a little cheap, they're a hard practice instead of rubber, (which I feel they should be), and they're a little heavy, but they are nice, full leather. I would definitely recommend these, but they are VERY different from rollerblades. September 13, 2015

HOBOKEN — NJ Transit will reopen the waiting room at Hoboken Terminal today, providing commuters with temporary seating and heated shelter as repairs to the historic building continue.
"Storm recovery (at the terminal) has been a time-intensive process, but a critical one in the interest of the health and safety of our customers and employees,'' said James Weinstein, NJ Transit's executive director, in making the announcement.
Weinstein, who greeted homeward-bound commuters at the terminal Monday night, said he and his senior staff also will be in Hoboken from 4:30-6 p.m. Feb. 12 to thank customers for their patience and answer their questions about the agency's ongoing recovery from Hurricane Sandy. About 60,000 people, including New Yorkers who ride the Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines, use the terminal daily.
NJ Transit said the waiting room has been subjected to extensive rehabilitation to eliminate the mold and mud that enveloped the terminal after more than 5 feet of Hudson River floodwaters receded.
Portions of the building and its furnishings, where mold remediation is incomplete, have been sealed in plastic as a public safety precaution. The iconic benches in the waiting room, for example, still have to be cleaned, refinished and reset.
The food court, public restrooms, crew quarters — including lockers for 550 employees — and storage areas all have to be gutted and rebuilt.
As an interim measure, NJ Transit has stationed four railcars equipped with restrooms on Track 8 for customers to use.

Crowds gather to celebrate the holiday (and even birthdays) at the Dallas St. Patrick's Parade and Festival
37-year old Chris Rion of Mesquite is celebrating his birthday today at the Dallas St. Patrick's Parade and Festival.
It's his third trip to the parade — but his first in costume.
"I like to clown around," said Rion, who arrived at his spot near Central Market around 9:40 a.m.
He said his brother inspired him to dress up this year. As far as today's expected warm temperatures are concerned, Rion said, "As long as the wind keeps blowing, I'll be OK."
He usually stays here until around 2 p.m., he said.
"He even drove here (in costume)," a friend said. "But without the mask."

Joseph Smith wears a kilt throughout the month of March out of respect for his Scottish and Irish heritage. So when St. Patrick's Day finally rolls around, it's the biggest day of the year."It's like Christmas," Smith, 40, said.
Smith drove about an hour from Kettle Mills (can you check spelling – Internet not working well) and got to Greenville Avenue around 7 a.m. to reserve his spot on the parade route. He and his fiancé have been drinking and mingling throughout the morning.
Smith said it's a tradition in his family to wear a kilt — even when it's not St. Patrick's Day weekend.
"I can't go into my day's house wearing a pair of blue jeans" or else he'd have to sit outside, Smith said.
Smith has been coming to the parade for 20 years.
"My dad always told me, 'Don't lose the tradition,'" Smith said.
Down the road, 57-year-old Mary Perez hung out with her 3-year-old grandson. They came in a group of about 60 people and many brought children.
Perez said the atmosphere seems more kid friendly this year.
"It can be a drinking brawl or it can not be — it's what you choose," she said, drinking a cherry Coke.

One of the more well-behaved groups at this year's Dallas St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival has to be the 50 or so members of Downtown Dallas-based Normandy Community Church — but that doesn't mean they are shying away from embracing their fellow revelers.
"Jesus loves us, so we should, too," said church member Sebastian Go of Addison, explaining why his church is passing out free hugs today."It's been awesome," said Preston Todd, one of the church's pastors. "Last year we had about 20 people here, this year we have about 55 among three groups."
Todd said feedback has been overwhelming "from Christians and those who aren't Christian."
"We just want people to experience how potent a smile can be," Todd said.

Elections to the European Parliament will be held in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in May, and it is timely that the Irish Council of Churches has recently established a European Affairs Committee . Among the committee's duties will be to bring a Christian judgement to bear on European affairs while at the same time informing the member Churches about the European Union and its structures. The Chairman is Dr Kenneth Milne and membership of the new committee comprises representatives of the member Churches. Both CEC (the Conference of European Churches) and COMECE (the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Community) have drawn attention to the fact that since the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty the European Parliament has greatly increased influence in the formulation of EU policies and that these elections provide citizens with an opportunity to play a part in choosing who is to represent them.

Come Celebrate the Lahaina Banyon Tree's 138th Birthday!Posted by Conor April 13th, 2011
The famous Banyan Tree of Lahaina will celebrate it's 138th birthday on April 24th.
The tree was planted on April 24, 1873 by sheriff William Owen Smith to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first Christian missionaries. It was brought from India, and at the time of planting, was only 8-feet high. It now has a dozen main trunks, and its canopy spreads over two-thirds of an acre between the Old Courthouse and Front Street. Today, the symmetry of the tree is maintained by volunteers. More »

Definition of cubic capacity in English:
cubic capacity
The volume contained by a hollow structure, expressed in liters, cubic centimeters, or other cubic units.
Example sentences
