Local filmmaker craved straight talk about death
By Peter Keough
The act of killing people - mostly with the emphasis on "act" - has entertained audiences since the beginnings of show business. But confronting death itself - the highly personal, existential certainty of nullification - has not had as much appeal.
Richard Tilkin, Boston-based documentarian, doesn't think that such denial is a healthy approach to life's only inevitability and its greatest mystery. In his debut documentary feature "Aside From That" (as in, "Aside From that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?") he discusses the subject with a wide range of mortals, including psychiatrists, philosophers, gravely ill people, a traumatized vet, religious figures, comedian Steven Wright, and a guy in Santa Fe with a parrot on his shoulder.
On the phone from his Boston office, he explains how and why he made a film (details at www.aftdoc.com) about a subject that has bugged him since he was 5 years old.
Q. Isn't 5 a bit young to ponder death?
A. I don't know about that, but when I was that age and I asked what happens when people get older I was told that everyone dies. I was like, come on, that can't be right. Since then, whenever I would think about it, whenever I went back to that place, I would feel depressed. That knowledge always just sitting there. I was shocked that other people didn't want to talk about it. It was just very taboo.
Q. Making a film about death is like making a film about life. How did you narrow the topic down?
A. There are obviously a million paths we could have gone down, so we hammered out a treatment. First, we wanted experts. We interviewed people like Dr. John Wynn, who's a death anxiety expert, and Roshi Joan Halifax, who is a famous American Zen priest and end-of-life expert. And the rest happened organically as we started exploring. I also knew we wanted to interview people in the street and we met a lot of interesting people that way.
Q. Do you think kids should become aware of the facts of death at an early age, like yourself?
A. Dr. Wynn says that if you don't talk about it with them they can sense your sadness anyway. They can sense that there's something wrong. In general, he points out that people don't fully understand how profound it is if you don't face your mortality, how such denial can have a negative effect on many things.
Q. Now that you've tackled death, what is there left to face as a documentary maker?
A. My new documentary is about people living with unusual and striking names and how those names have affected their lives. The working title is "The Strange Name Movie." To date we have profiled 28 people. You might say it's on the other end of the documentary spectrum.

Boston Film Festival revels in a first
By Loren King
Even "The Godfather II" didn't get to shoot its famous Havana scenes in Cuba. The Dominican Republic and other locations had to suffice.
Times have changed. "Papa," which opens the 31st annual Boston Film Festival on Sept. 17, is reportedly the first Hollywood dramatic feature film allowed to shoot in Cuba since the 1959 revolution and subsequent US embargo.
"Papa" stars Giovanni Ribisi as Ed Myers, a character based on the real-life Miami Herald reporter Denne Bart Petitclerc, who wrote the script. Petitclerc, who died in 2006, also wrote the screenplay for "Islands in the Stream" (1977), based on Ernest Hemingway's novel. "Papa" is about the friendship between the reporter and Hemingway (Adrian Sparks), who lived in Cuba from 1939 to 1960 and wrote some of his best-known works there, including his Pulitzer Prize-winner, "The Old Man and the Sea." Myers visits Hemingway and his fourth wife, Mary (Joely Richardson), also a journalist, at their Cuba estate in the late '50s as the Fidel Castro-led revolution is brewing. At Hemingway's urging, Myers files firsthand reports of the tumultuous events redefining life on the island.
Director Bob Yari and his crew got unprecedented permission to shoot inside Hemingway's former estate, Finca Vigia, and at some of Havana's most iconic sites, including the former Government Palace, which was long ago turned into a museum commemorating Castro's revolution. The Grand Theater, closed for restoration, was converted into the bar of one of Hemingway's favorite spots, the Ambos Mundos Hotel. It's here that, in the film, notorious mobster Santo Trafficante (James Remar) tips off Myers that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover is spying on Hemingway.
The festival, which runs through Sept. 21 with screenings at the Revere Hotel and other locations not yet announced, also presents the world premiere of the documentary "No Greater Love" (Sept. 19). The film examines the brutality of combat and post-traumatic stress disorder through the story of an Army chaplain, Justin Roberts, who fought with his unit in some of the most horrific battles in Afghanistan and emerged a passionate advocate for soldiers, himself included, who are battling PTSD. Roberts explains that military suicide now claims the lives of more US soldiers than combat. With gripping footage, the film is an immersive look at combat deployment as well as a compelling chronicle of the transition from battlefield to home.
Two fiction features focus on the crime world and its casualties. Writer-director Tim McCann's "The Aftermath" (Sept. 18) stars Sam Trammell ("True Blood") as a struggling addict whose need to retrieve a stolen piece of jewelry brings him into contact with a dangerous underground criminal ring in his small Southern town.
Another world premiere feature is "Evan's Crime" (Sept. 19), directed by Sandy Tung, about a young man, Evan White (Douglas Smith), who is unjustly accused of selling marijuana and cocaine and must contend with an ambitious prosecutor eager to mete out severe punishment.
Local audiences won't want to miss "We the People: The Market Basket Effect" (Sept. 20), a stirring account of the recent epic showdown between the Demoulas family, the shareholders in its supermarket empire, and thousands of employees, aided by community supporters, who spurred a grassroots boycott for six weeks last year. Directed by Tommy Reid and narrated by Lowell native Michael Chiklis ("American Horror Story" and "The Shield"), the documentary traces the rise of the Demoulas family, who first established Market Basket as a single store before expanding the chain across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The film depicts the protests from loyal employees and customers that erupted when CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was forced out as part of a long-simmering family feud.

A major focus of our family fun time is cooking and celebrating holidays. Our chosen holidays began as the standards, with extra additions for variety. Unfortunately, the girls adopted the fun additions as standard fare and, as of this week, our celebratory calendar is ridiculous. Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, President's Day and Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday all fell within a four day time span, and I now am officially suffering from holiday fatigue.
To fit in all the excitement, we passed out homemade candy at school Valentine's parties on Friday, made a gluten-free (so I could enjoy it too) King Cake Saturday morning, threw out the gf King Cake Saturday afternoon, bought a grocery store King Cake Saturday night, gave the girls a box of chocolates and made a festive family breakfast for Valentine's Day, made a non gf King Cake on Sunday because Taylor burst into tears at the prospect of a grocery store cake, had our Chinese New Year's dinner on Sunday night (two days late) for Valentine's dinner, made Cherry Clafouti on Monday for President's Day, will have pancakes for dinner tonight in honor of Shrove Tuesday and plan to have our Southern Style Mardi Gras dinner tomorrow night (also late). After which I'm not eating or cooking for at least a week.
I even tried to let a few celebrations go by the way side this year, but the girls wouldn't have it. I voted for a cherry flavored, bean paste, king cake decorated with red sugar hearts to cover all the holidays with one food, but that too was vetoed.
We currently have red streamers and dragons, paper snowflakes (for good measure, I suppose), hearts and festive beads strung about the house--classy. We've eaten so many different colored sugars in the past few days that the girls are now reporting technicolored bowel movements and the contents of the refrigerator resemble the after affects of WW III or a great American melting pot--depending upon your perspective.
The girls love our celebrations and I truly do too. But couldn't we space them out a bit--maybe one a week? Looking at the calendar, I think we actually have a brief respite. Until March. Then it's my Grandmother's 90th birthday, St. Patrick's Day, the first day of spring......Ah, bring on the Cadbury Cream eggs, Easter is on the horizon!

Nowadays the process of workstation design tends to include assessment steps in a virtual environment (VE) to evaluate the ergonomic features. These approaches are cost-effective and convenient since working directly on the digital mock-up in a VE is preferable to constructing a real physical mock-up in a real environment (RE). This study aimed at understanding the ability of a VR-based assembly tasks simulator to evaluate physical risk factors in ergonomics. Sixteen subjects performed simplified assembly tasks in RE and VE. Motion of the upper body and five muscle electromyographic activities were recorded to compute normalized and averaged objective indicators of discomfort, that is, rapid upper limb assessment score, averaged muscle activations, and total task time. Rated perceived exertion (RPE) and a questionnaire were used as subjective indicators of discomfort. The timing regime and complexity of the assembly tasks were investigated as within-subject factors. The results revealed significant differences between measured indicators in RE and VE. While objective measures indicated lower activity and exposure in VE, the subjects experienced more discomfort than in RE. Fairly good correlation levels were found between RE and VE for six of the objective indicators. This study clearly demonstrates that ergonomic studies of assembly tasks using VR are still challenging. Indeed, objective and subjective measurements of discomfort that are usually used in ergonomics to minimize the risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders development exhibit opposite trends in RE and VE. Nevertheless, the high level of correlation found during this study indicates that the VR-based simulator can be used for such assessments.

Catching Fire
by Suzanne Collins
Manipulation Quotes in Catching Fire
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
It's an awful lot to take in, this elaborate plan in which I was a piece, just as I was meant to be a piece in the Hunger Games. Used without consent, without knowledge. At least in the Hunger Games, I knew I was being played with. (27.30)
It's never good to feel like you're being played, and Katniss has certainly had her share of that feeling in the Games. Now she finds out that she's been used as a pawn in two different games at the same time: the Quarter Quell and the rebels' plan to overthrow the Capitol.

GlassFish 3.1 Adoption - 750k auto-updated and counting!
By alexismp on May 17, 2011
Yes, that's 750,000 (obviously active) instances of GlassFish 3.0.x that were updated to GlassFish 3.1 since the product was released. Anil Gaur, VP of Engineering for GlassFish has a blog entry on this great number.
So as you can see, other than being really convenient for users to update parts or all of their GlassFish installations, the Update Center gives us a great pulse of how the community of users is doing. Also remember that you can run your own in-house repositories and also contribute to the public ones.
What makes this number of in-place upgrades even more interesting is the relatively low number of problems reported against 3.1 (most issues reported are for people coming over from 2.x).

The time is coming when you shall live in the atmosphere of Love beyond the pull of the little mind, dear ones, and the freedom in which you live will be the source of your every movement and continual choice to give all of this endless Love. You are My heart and you are Home in Me right now, and every moment of open-hearted Love establishes the true Reality of God through the gift of your open heart.
So in this time which can seem confusing as the old world pulls you with its familiarity, take heart. Turn to Me. Breathe into the freedom of Love and when you feel your heart once again, allow this Love to permeate the world, to fill every aspect of your vision and to replace effortlessly the old world, the old perceptions that were based in the story of your life, the old reality based in fear and scarcity. Let it all dissolve and return to Me, that this communion of your heart may fill you, support you, lift you and bring you everything that I Am ever and always providing. The glorious abundance of God I Am is yours, is you and is happening right now.

The Reagan Test Site plays a vital role in America's missile defense and space programs.
The U. S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site is designed primarily for ballistic missile defense testing and space surveillance operations. KRS provides technical services for the missile testing and space surveillance missions and complete logistics and infrastructure solutions to support the test-site community.
The Reagan Test Site includes some of the world's most sophisticated instrumentation for performing vital space surveillance operations and satellite tracking. This instrumentation is located on eight islands throughout Kwajalein Atoll. Kwajalein Range Services operates, maintains, and modernizes the range instrumentation systems including radars, telemetry, optics, communications and information services, mission control, and safety systems.
There are 2,500 permanent residents of Kwajalein, including 1,200 employees of Bechtel and Lockheed Martin's Kwajalein Range Services and more than 800 dependents. The community at Kwajalein comprises a mixture of U.S. civilians, Department of Defense and Army personnel, and Marshallese citizens. Kwajalein Range Services provides residents of the island a wide range of infrastructure and services, including:
Kwajalein Range Services helped the U.S. Missile Defense Agency conduct the largest, most complex missile defense flight test ever attempted: Flight Test Integrated-01 and Flight Test Operations-01.
The successful integrated test resulted in simultaneous engagement of five ballistic-missile and cruise-missile targets, as well as a follow-on campaign to intercept two medium-range ballistic-missile targets. It put command, control, battle management, and communications systems through their paces in a live-fire environment. And, ultimately the test led to improving the capabilities of today's war fighter.
This high-priority mission was vital to U.S. national defense and was expected to take two years for site preparation, but the Bechtel-led team completed all projects in nine months.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency Directorate for Test awarded its highest honor to the Flight Test Integrated-01 infrastructure development team for its "enduring support and commitment to Missile Defense Agency goals, principles, and critical mission."
The United States captured Japanese-held Kwajalein in early 1944. The Kwajalein Atoll islands of Roi and Namur, where Kwajalein Range Services operates radars today, played a key strategic role in the invasion, codenamed Operation Flintlock.
Before they lost Kwajalein, Japanese forces held a number of prisioners there—the most famous being Louie Zamperini, after whom the main dining hall is named. The Allies nicknamed the atoll "Execution Island." The best-selling book Unbroken chronicled his life as will the movie directed by Angelina Jolie.

With dozens of castles set in spectacular locations around the country, there's no excuse for not paying a visit to at least one of Ireland's historic landmarks. Whether you fancy staying in a luxury castle hotel or taking part in an atmospheric medieval banquet, make sure you explore at least one of the most beautiful castles in Ireland.
1. Ashford Castle, County Galway
Dating back almost 800 years and once owned by some of Ireland's most beloved icons -the Guinness family – Ashford Castle is deserving of its popularity among tourists. The impressively preserved medieval grounds and opulent gold interiors now provide the perfect backdrop for a luxury 5-star hotel, offering visitors the chance to bed down in Western Ireland's most famous castle.
2. Kilkenny Castle, County Kilkenny
A wander around the National Heritage site of Kilkenny Castle brings Ireland's dramatic history back to life, with parts of the Anglo-Norman castle dating back to the 13th century. One of the stateliest castles in the country, the 4-towered fortress is set amidst a series of regal landscaped gardens, overlooking the River Nore in Kilkenny.
3. Cahir Castle, County Tipperary
One of the largest Irish castles still standing, the epic fortress of Cahir Castle has been painstakingly preserved and still features its original 12th-century keep, tower and defense structures. Set on an island in the River Suir, the castle is a fascinating labyrinth of spiraling stairwells, small chambers, moats and dungeons, so make sure you hire a guide.
4. Blarney Castle, County Cork
One of Ireland's most visited castles, the 15th century Blarney Castle draws thousands of tourists each year to wander the beautiful floral gardens, venture into the eerie dungeons and climb the 10 flights of stairs into the castle tower, where the expansive views take a backseat to the unanimous highlight – kissing the famous Blarney Stone. Said to bring you the 'gift of the gab', you'll need to hang backwards from the upper wall in order to reach the sacred stone.
5. Bunratty Castle, County Clare
Another hugely popular day trip, Bunratty castle and the surrounding medieval village have been restored to their former glory, complete with medieval style furnishings and beautiful views over the nearby Folk Park. For the full experience, join one of the candlelit medieval banquets, held in the grand banquet hall and served up by traditionally dressed 'locals'.

Tuscaloosa department seeking grants for recycling services, awareness
Published: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 11:55 p.m.
The city's Environmental Services Department is seeking a series of grants to improve awareness and service options for recycling.
Shane Daugherty, director of the Environmental Services Department, told the City Council's Public Projects Committee that the department is submitting a joint grant application to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to fund a glass pulverizer.
The city's Environmental Services Department is teaming with the University of Alabama, the Tuscaloosa County Commission and the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority on a $349,208 grant through ADEM's Recycling Fund Grant.
The city is asking for $225,620, of which $110,000 would purchase the pulverizer. If approved, the purchase would allow city residents to take glass products to certain drop-off locations for recycling.
Daugherty said the city's recycling trucks are not yet equipped to handle curbside recycling of glass products.
The university is seeking $85,168 for a paper grinder and promotional materials; the county government is requesting $25,000 for assisting in its advertising efforts for its recycling drop-off locations in the unincorporated area; and PARA is seeking $13,420 for recycling bins to go in various parks.
Other grants being sought by the city's Environmental Services Department include a $75,000 request from ADEM to assist in a statewide recycling campaign — Daugherty said ADEM asked the city to submit the application on the state department's behalf — and a Dr Pepper/Snapple Group Public Park Recycling Bin Grant for additional recycling bins at Bowers and Sokol parks, the McDonald Hughes Community Center and three boat launches.

If you are in the Seattle area, Billy is holding a beginner dSLR workshop and you can join if you donate or have donated to his mission already. If you have a dSLR but still haven't quite mastered how to use it yet, let Billy help you! Here is his description of the workshop:
I'll be going to Gas Works Park on Sunday, February 7 @ 3:30PM to do a photography workshop...
I am still taking donations for Billy and will send you a print of one of my pictures in return. For a $20+ donation, I will send you an 8x10 of any of my pictures, your choice.

How to Change your Default Timezone in htaccess
The .htaccess file is a hidden text file within your hosting account that can be very powerful. It is designed so that you can modify it to change the behavior of your website that normally would take higher access beyond your account. It acts as a liaison between your domain and the server and can perform many functions.
The server has a specific time setting. This is usually based on the servers physical location, for example, if the datacenter that houses the server is located in California, the server will most likely be set to the Pacific Time. Some sites may cater to specific areas of the world and wish to use the timezone for that area. PHP has configuration files that can do this, but what about other tiles such as HTML or Log files? That is where the htaccess comes into play. Below are instructions for changing the base timezone in your local htaccess file.
When using PHP 5.3 or newer, you may be required to set the timezone in the php.ini file, which is explained in our guide titled Setting the timezone for php in the php.ini file.
Changing your Default Timezone:
- First, you will need to log into your cPanel to access the htaccess file.
- Find the Files category and click on the File Manager icon.
- A popup box will appear. For the primary domain, click on the Web Root radio button. For addon domains, click on the dropdown and find your desired addon domain name. Be sure the checkbox next to Show Hidden Files is checked. Click the Go button to enter the File Manager.
- You should now be in the root folder of the domain you chose. Look for the .htaccess file and right click on it. This brings up a menu. Find and click on the Edit option. If you get a popup box, simply find and click the Edit button in the lower right corner to continue to the editor.
- Now that you are in the htaccess editor, paste the following code at the top of the page to configure your account. In this example, we are setting the timezone to Eastern Standard Time.
#Adjust default time zone
SetEnv TZ America/Washington
- Be sure to hit the Save Changes button in the upper right corner to save your new htaccess configuration.
Congratulations, now you know how to change your default timezone in the .htaccess file!

"Governor's Series, presented by NV Energy" soccer match ends in a 0-0 draw
Oct. 19, 2012
The University of Nevada soccer team ended an overtime "Governor's Series, presented by NV Energy" match against UNLV tied 0-0 Friday evening. Four of Nevada's 16 matches this season have gone into an extra period. The Wolf Pack is 5-5-5 under Dr. Price in overtime matches.
"I'm very pleased with how we played tonight," head coach Dr. Melissa Price said. "We put together the most complete match we have all year. We kept the ball very well, moved the ball, and were able to change the point of attack. It was really a fantastic match against our rivals."
The tie places Nevada (6-8-2, 2-2-1 MW) on the season, while UNLV sits at (10-3-3, 2-1-2 MW).
Nevada looked aggressive in the opening minutes on the pitch, as the team controlled the majority of the field possession. Wolf Pack sophomore Megan Khademi struck a blast at Rebels goalkeeper Kylie Wassell in the 19th minute that was saved for the team's first shot on goal. UNLV had a corner kick with five minutes left in the first half that resulted in a shot by midfielder Erica Meier which sailed over the goal. The teams entered halftime tied 0-0.
The Rebels were sharp out of the break, attacking the Wolf Pack defense with multiple chances within the period's first five minutes. Rebels junior Jenn Wolfe had a one on one opportunity against Nevada goalkeeper Dana Moreno at the 47 minute mark. Moreno came up with a huge deflection to keep the match tied 0-0. UNLV midfielder Denali Murnan got a head on a cross from the team's corner kick on the ensuing play, but the Wolf Pack defense thwarted the attack by clearing the ball. Nevada regained its composure and had three chances to put the ball in the net with consecutive corner kicks. The UNLV defense buckled down, keeping the match tied. Each team missed out on capitalizing off of late opportunities, as the match ended regulation tied 0-0.
The Wolf Pack got back to its aggressive style of play in the initial overtime period, as the team had three shots on goal and a corner kick in the first three minutes of extra time. The Wolf Pack held the Rebels without a shot in the first overtime period that ended 0-0.
Each team recorded a shot on goal in the final overtime period. Moreno and Wassell had saves in front of the net on both ends, as the match ended tied 0-0.
The Wolf Pack will play its final home match of the 2012 season Sunday against Fresno State (4-8-5, 2-2-1 MW) at 1 p.m. Nevada trails the overall series 1-12-1, losing the last meeting 2-1 last season in Reno.

text: Posted March 14, 2013 Just wanted to show a bunch of the moronic things that you said before this past season as proof why your opinion means absolutely nothing. PS This is 3 posts from one thread littered with asinine statements. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the stupidity that comes from your brain. I'm entitled to my opinion. Don't like it? Don't care. Sure a few things I said were incorrect (especially the part about State being a legitimate contender for the ACC crown), but those comments were from almost a full year ago and honestly I'm flattered you care so much about my humble opinion. Carolina fans are held to a much higher standard than everyone else especially Duke fans. But like I've said before we win and lose with dignity and class. So good luck Duke in both tourneys. I doubt you'll be seeded against Lehigh again. goddamn what an idiot Says the guy who talks about schlongs and trannys every five posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congressman Mike Honda (D-CA), a long-time champion of the LGBT community, will soon introduce The Reuniting Families Act . This landmark immigration bill ends harmful practices that prevent loving families from being together. Many PFLAG members know firsthand about families being broken apart because of long visa wait times and discrimination against LGBT families, and this bill can prevent these heartbreaking stories.
In an historic move, Congressman Honda has included lesbian and gay people as part of this remarkable legislation . . . marking the first time in Congressional history that lesbian and gay couples have been included as part of a multi-issue immigration bill.
As our country begins a conversation about comprehensive immigration reform, this important first step helps to ensure that, moving forward, we're included, too. The President supports us, and Congress is increasingly on our side. Now, our community can be part of fixing our nation's broken immigration system by supporting their efforts.
Please stand with Congressman Honda and our families, and urge your elected representative to co-sponsor The Reuniting Families Act.
ACT NOW to Urge Your Member of Congress to Cosponsor the
Reuniting Families Act!
Email your U.S. Representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Reuniting Families Act, which will allow gays and lesbians to sponsor our partners for immigration.
Along with the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA), Congressman Honda's bill is another sign of historic progress for the lesbian and gay community, and it is critical that our elected representatives know this is an important issue for our community.
Contact your representative today to support family unity!
Thank you for making sure that comprehensive immigration reform is truly comprehensive - and includes LGBT families!
