DIDDY'S DO: As servers dressed as angels with wings poured champagne, P. Diddy rang in 2002 wishing for "peace" and then lighting up the Miami skies on New Year's Eve with an extravagant midnight fireworks display to punctuate his 2002 Black & White Ball, held at South Beach's swank Shore Club hotel, reported PEOPLE. The tuxedo-clad Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, 32, whose Miami base is a rented manse that Madonna used to call home, was surrounded by security and his family. The by-invitation-only event, an homage to "In Cold Blood" author Truman Capote's notable Black and White Ball in 1966, drew approximately 1,000 guests, including rock star Lenny Kravitz, 37, who mostly hung out in the VIP penthouse, munching sushi from Robert De Niro's, 58, Nobu restaurant.
CROWE'S FEAT: Several film critics zeroed in on a glaring omission in director Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind," starring Russell Crowe, based on a book of the same name by Sylvia Nassar: Nash's bisexuality, which the book openly reveals. (Nash is a Nobel Prize-winning mathematician, still teaching at Princeton, who suffered as a schizophrenic.) "That was a big question for us, how far to go into that," Crowe, 37, referring to Nash's sexuality, told Entertainment Weekly (which, like PEOPLE, is published by Time Inc., a division of AOL Time Warner). "It was relevant to his character, but we didn't want to imply that there was any possibility that schizophrenia and homosexuality are related. That would be ridiculous." Nash's conflict, however, is suggested in a scene in which Nash gives a lengthy glance to a young man walking toward him.
ICONOCLAST DIES: Movie producer Julia Phillips, 57, who in 1973 made Hollywood history as the first woman ever to win a best picture Oscar (for "The Sting"), died Tuesday at her West Hollywood home. Yet the outspoken Hollywood figure, who made no secret of her many indulgences, will probably be best remembered for her rage-ridden 1990 memoir "You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again," which skewered such former colleagues as Goldie Hawn and Steven Spielberg. Family members said she had been diagnosed with cancer in August. After the success of "The Sting," which she coproduced, Phillips closed out the '70s with successes including Martin Scorsese's acclaimed "Taxi Driver" in 1976 and Spielberg's 1977 smash, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
MOVIE MONEY: Magic worked at the box office this past year, as evidenced by the three top-grossing flicks of 2001: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," "Shrek" and "Monsters, Inc." North American ticket sales for the year were a record $8.35 billion, which marked the first time that the $8-billion barrier was cracked, it was announced Wednesday. This also marked a record 10th straight year of annual expansions in total movie receipts. Unlike 1999, which produced one monster hit, the $400 million money-making machine called "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace," 2001 witnessed a solid slate of commercial successes throughout the year, including 17 films that passed the $100 million mark and a record five movies that entered the $200 million club.
KILL BILL: A new shock film that depicts the assassination of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates is set to debut at the alternative film festival Slamdance in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 13, reported the Los Angeles Times. In the mockumentary "Nothing So Strange," the richest man in America is shot dead in downtown Los Angeles on Dec. 2, 1999. The film's producer and director, Brian Flemming, co-author of last year's Off Broadway hit "Bat Boy: The Musical," said that he went through a "period of soul-searching" before planning to target Gates, who, at age 46, is alive and well in Seattle. Ultimately, Flemming claims, he threw caution to the winds. "This is a scary, provocative idea," he said, "but that doesn't mean it's wrong." Microsoft did not concur. According to BBC Online, a company spokesman commented, "It's very disappointing that a moviemaker would do something like this."
WHO'S IN & OUT: The Washington Post published its annual list of what's "in" and what's "out." For starters, Tom Cruise is "out," and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in "in." On a similar note, Nicole Kidman is "in," Penelope Cruz is "out." P. Diddy is "out," I-Pod is "in." Blood oranges are "in," clementines are "out." German-style noodles, spaetzle, is "in," garlic mashed potatoes are "out." Alicia Keys is "in," Destiny's Child is "out." Recently exited New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is "out" AND "in." Red, white and blue is "in," while the Red Cross is "out." Carol Burnett is "in," Christina Aguilera is "out." And firemen are very "in."

Now Playing
Director: Ron Howard
Starring: Daniel Bruhl, Chris Hemsworth, Olivia Wilde
Genre: Action, bio, drama, sport
Rated: R
Running time: 123 minutes
Theaters: Tinseltown, Movies at Meadvile
What it's about: Based on a true story, a brutal rivalry grows between 1970s Formula One racers James Hunt (Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Bruhl).
What critics say: It's a good ride, full of fast fun and an amazing glimpse of the complicated disco-era rivalry between two pro racers. The film itself is beautiful and well edited, but the layered performances by Hemsworth and Bruhl makes this a treat.
Overall rating: ***1/2
'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2'
Directors: Cody Cameron, Kris Pearn
Starring: Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Will Forte
Genre: Animation, comedy, family
Rated: PG
Running time: 95 minutes
Theaters: Tinseltown, Movies at Meadville
What it's about: After moving on from the events of the first film, inventor Flint Lockwood (voiced by Hader) discovers his machine is still operational and is churning out animal/food hybrids.
What critics say: Unfortunately, the sequel doesn't live up to the beloved story. The villain is bland and kids will likely miss the subtle message of science run amok.
Overall rating: **
'Don Jon'
Director: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson
Genre: Comedy, drama
Rated: R
Running time: 90 minutes
Theaters: Tinseltown, Movies at Meadville
What it's about: New Jersey guy Don Jon (Gordon-Levitt) must overcome his unreal expectations of intimacy and happiness he's developed from watching porn.
What critics say: This is a surprisingly fresh and fun film led almost entirely by Gordon-Levitt. It's a nice mix of "Jersey Shore" with actual comedy thrown in. There are also great performances by Tony Danza and Julianne Moore.
Overall rating: ***1/2
'Baggage Claim'
Director: David E. Talbert
Starring: Paula Patton, Taye Diggs, Jill Scott
Genre: Comedy
Rated: PG-13
Running: 96 minutes
Theater: Tinseltown
What it's about: After feeling the pressure from her family, Montana Moore (Patton) goes on a 30-day trip to seduce a potential fiance.
What critics say: There's nothing new or intriguing in this romantic comedy -- in fact, audiences might wonder if they've seen this movie before. Despite the occasional laugh, this movie lags along for an hour and a half.
Overall rating: *
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis
Genre: Crime, drama, thriller
Rated: R
Running time: 153 minutes
Theaters: Tinseltown, Movies at Meadville
What it's about: While Detective Loki (Gyllenhaal) and the police continue to investigate the mysterious disappearance of two little girls, father Keller Dover (Jackman) decides to take matters into his own hands.
What critics say: This is a mystery that will keep you guessing and the incredible performances will captivate audiences. The big drawback, though, is the movie goes on about 30 minutes too long.
Overall rating: ***1/2

As we look to South Dakota's future, I'm commited to-
- Sustain Success
- Confront Challenges
- Deliver Results
Dear District 13 voters,
Thank you for your trust in allowing me to represent you in the South Dakota Senate. I'm asking for your vote again this Fall. My experience in the legislature serving on House Education and Health & Human Services, and now on Senate Appropriations has reinforced my commitment to you that as we spend your tax dollars, results matter! Tax policy and public policy that promote job growth and efficiencies in government will continue to be my focus.
Sustain the Successes by continuing the policies that make South Dakota the top climate in the nation for business and job growth.
(U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation) South Dakota's future success depends on policy decisions that continue to limit government bureaucracy, protect our individual rights & freedoms, and retain our low & predictable tax policy.
Confront our Challenges by targeting spending on solutions that work.
Serving on Senate Appropriations has given me a unique and close-up perspective of the challenges South Dakota experiences and the opportunities that lie before us. To effectively confront our challenges we need to set our goals and then target our spending on solutions that work.
- All students graduate from high school, prepared for college or career opportunities. (In 2013, the graduation rate for all SD students was 83%; our 49% graduation rate for our American Indian students represents a critical education challenge.)
- Eliminate South Dakota's labor shortage in both highly skilled and science & technology professions to continue to grow South Dakota's economy.
- Efficiently manage our Medicaid spending to take care of our most vulnerable South Dakotans and yet not crowd out our other State priorities. With 116,000 currently on Medicaid & CHIP (80,000 of those are children), these medical services account for the fastest growth in State spending.
- Enhance citizen's safety and reduce prison spending with programs that hold criminals more accountable.
Deliver Results by ensuring efficiency and effectiveness of State government's spending.
My legislative experience on both Appropriations & the oversight Government Operations and Audit committees reinforces my commitment to you that State government will be accountable for results. South Dakota's $4.3 billion budget has to truly serve you.

I'm trying to config samba to use a openldap replica (slave) base.
Every thing is working, except when I try to join a machine to a domain.
Samba try to write some attributes in openldap, but this database (slave) is

Openldap can return a REFERRAL when a client (samba) try to do a

But samba can't understand this referral return by the slave openldap.

The detailed pictures have been finely described so that all children will benefit from the number repetitions (e.g.: four empty dog bowls), from the humorous moments and from the frolicking good fun which happens on every page. This file should make an excellent embossed braille copy.

1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12by Thomas W. Phelan
This revised edition of the award-winning 1-2-3 Magic program addresses the difficult task of child discipline with humour, keen insight, and proven experience. The technique offers a foolproof method of disciplining children ages two through 12 without arguing, yelling, or spanking. By means of three easy-to-follow steps, parents learn to manage troublesome behaviour, encourage good behaviour, and strengthen the parent-child relationship -- avoiding the "Talk-Persuade-Argue-Yell-Hit" syndrome which frustrates so many parents. Ten strategies for building a child's self-esteem and the six types of testing and manipulation a parent can expect from the child are discussed, as well as tips on how to prevent homework arguments, make mealtimes more enjoyable, conduct effective family meetings, and encourage children to start doing their household chores. New advice about kids and technology and new illustrations bring this essential parenting companion completely up-to-date.
1 & 2 Peter, Judeby Steve Brestin Dee Brestin
Called for a PurposeThe letters of Peter and Jude challenge you to recognize your identity as a chosen friend of God--and therefore, to live a holy life. Originally addressed to persecuted believers of the first century, these words encourage you to face trials with a living hope, certain of Christ's return, and warn you of the danger of false teaching and spiritual lethargy--advice as timely today as it was for the early Christians.

10 Conversations You Need to Have with Your Childrenby Shmuley Boteach
Why do I have to repeat everything? Why does every conversation end in an argument? Communicating with our children. Conversing. Connecting. When did it become so difficult? And how do we begin to change it for the better? This book was designed to help parents answer these important questions, and it is based on two fundamental ideas: The first is that there are no bad children, and no deliberately bad parents -- but that sometimes, despite the best of intentions on both sides, there can be bad relationships between parents and children. The second is that, as parents, we must do everything we can to save those relationships, to reach out and really communicate with our children, because it is only through talking to them that we can create an environment for inspiration and change. In this compelling book, Shmuley Boteach, passionate social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, walks you through the critical conversations, including: cherishing childhood; developing intellectual curiosity; knowing who you are and what you want to become; learning to forgive; realizing the importance of family and tradition; being fearless and courageous. As a father of eight, Rabbi Shmuley speaks from a wealth of experience. He has written a book for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers, who are just beginning to become aware of the world around them, to adolescents, who must learn to navigate all sorts of tricky social and academic pressures. 10 Conversations will help you stay connected to your children so that they develop the kind of strong moral character that leads to rich, meaningful lives.

But since you asked, I have one (Stag Arms) have used to hunt with. (2 deer didn't like it) I use the SSA 110gr. with a Millet Trophy for my eyes. Love the light recoil of it and plan on getting one in a Ruger as soon as I get one in my hands

Some selected threads on this topic from the last six months:
I have several, and think well of the chambering. I vastly prefer the AR15 platform chambered in 6.8SPC over an AR10-class package chambered in a 308-derivative chambering.

I have been experimenting with a 16 inch barreled Stag in 6.8mm. Mostly experimental handloads (1,000 fired) and around another 150 rounds of factory ammo.
Yes it is better than a 5,56mm
For Alaska hunting it is too light with the 16 inch barrel. Yes it does work , but so do my muzzleloaders.
I wish it was a 20 inch barrel.
I could easily be talked into selling or trading mine for something more interesting.
November 12, 2009, 05:07 PM
My kids like it a lot. If you don't reload go with the 7.62 x 39.
November 12, 2009, 05:31 PM
Why not ask the question again? New people may see it. People who bought one since may see it. People's opinions may have changed since.
Someone should count how many threads would be posted here each week if everyone diligently searched the forum for opinions prior to posting. Probably only about one per week in each forum.

THR is not a database.
...but it does become tiresome to see the same question posted over and over again. Like "FAL or HK91?" or ".45 ACP or 9mm".
I disagree with your assertion. If I have a question, I typically do the search first, read up on the topic. If I have issues that aren't answered, then I post a question.
Back to the OP, I have a 6.8 SPC and like it. It is a perfectly adequate deer cartridge within limits, is more of a hammer than 5.56 and is easy to load for. I've found it reasonably accurate. It seems like it will "stick" as a cartridge. I don't, however, believe it replaces my 5.56s. They have a place in my armory.

I rebarreled my 20" Colt AR15A2 from 5.56mm to 6.8mm (20" bbl). I developed my "general purpose" hunting load using 28.5gr H322 and Hornady 110gr BTHP (with cannelure). It achieves 2600 fps from my rifle.
I plan to hunt wild boar and deer with it as soon as I get back from Seattle next week.
I'm impressed with it's accuracy - most accurate groups I've ever gotten with a stock AR.
November 12, 2009, 10:33 PM
Maybe a coyote/hog rifle supreme? That as well as a great defense carbine for a time when you think you would need it.
If its just to go after deer or have fun at a range there are much better rifle and cartridge combo's. Its ergonomics and purpose have to fit in with your philosophy of its use or it won't be such a great thing for you specifically.
Some one who has been hunting around the world for a long time now, told me with an AR chambered in 6.8 SPC using the proper bullets he would feel comfortable hunting anything he would hunt with a .308 rifle.

November 12, 2009, 11:18 PM
I still greatly prefer the 6.5Grendel to the 6.8SPC. I feel that 6.5mm is a better suited cartridge for anything that has a sub-'06 sized case for moderate range hunting and target shooting. :)
November 12, 2009, 11:23 PM
Hornady now loading up 6.5 Grendel and making brass for it is a huge deal....as well as their new 123 grain A-Max bullet that they have been getting begged to make for a long time now.
I would personally choose it as well. Just use 125 gr. Partition for elk to deer and use 123 gr. Scenars or A-Max's for target/varmint.
November 12, 2009, 11:30 PM
Hornady now loading up 6.5 Grendel and making brass for it is a huge deal....as well as their new 123 grain A-Max bullet that they have been getting begged to make for a long time now.YAY! It is about time, though x39 brass can still be die-formed and fireformed for a good bit of savings, I would gladly pony up the extra cash for preformed brass from a good maker like Hornady. :)

I have a 6.8 SPC in a DPMS Rifle 20 inch barrel. I use mine for hunting . You can reload or buy the loaded ammo for it.It has 80 percent the power of a 308 with 50 percent less recoil. I 've shot deer with it from 120 yds to 275 yds . It has the ballistics of a 257 roberts. I would say the round has enough power out to 350 yds to kill a deer legally . The 6.5 grendel is a good round because of sectional density of the bullet . But the grendel has the ballistics of a 6.5 carcano round.

I recently got into the 6.8 after much deliberation. The 6.5 Grendel is a propriatary round and uppers are more limited in avalability and expensive. It does have a higher BC but inside 300 yards you will not know the difference.
November 13, 2009, 10:55 PM
Choosing the 6.8 isn't about a bunch of cheap imported ammo lying on pallets at the gun show. The 6.8 was designed particularly to improve the performance of the AR on the battelfield, which directly relates to hunting. The 7.62 x 39 is an old school round with lazy ballistics much like the .30-30, and has bullet drop measurable in feet. It's much the same reason why Leverevolution was designed - to help correct a known problem many shooters complain about.
One thing right about 6.8 in an AR - there is a noticeable lack of recoil compared to the popular .30s. Less recoil means more fun shooting, less shooter reaction, faster time on target, faster followup shots, and as a direct result, more accurate shooting overall.
So why give up all that for cheap AK ammo - which is inherently less accurate and can't contribute the improvements?
Barrels and uppers in 6.8 are coming on line more every day. A recent post on the forum that is all about 6.8 mentions two more major makers offering barrels and where to find the web pages.
We may never see cheap 6.8 plinking ammo, but I'll put my hopes on it because it will work in belt fed MG's. 6.5 Grendal won't. Hornaday stepping up to make it is nice - but it's not a hunter's round, it's a long range precision target cartridge. Downgrading it for 75 meter max expansion on whitetail isn't it's purpose.
6.8 is overall a better hunting upgrade.
November 13, 2009, 11:26 PM
...because [6.8SPC] will work in belt fed MG's. 6.5 [Grendel] won't.Why is that?
November 14, 2009, 08:42 AM
Probably referring to the taper in the 6.8 makes it more condusive to being used in a MG. I think it is a pretty big stretch to think that we're going to get cheap plinking ammo because the Army might choose the 6.8 for MGs. We have a LONG way to go before that happens. We'll all be too old to plink by the time those wheels turn...

I am certified as a Level 1 Master Hand Knitter by The Knitting Guild Association. My grandmother Lena taught me to knit when I was 4 years old and told me that a lifetime of knitting pleasure was her legacy to me. I love to design and knit and enter my work in competitions. I've won numerous awards and ribbons over the years and that's a lot of fun, but the greatest pleasure is the actual creative process. I specialize in Beginner and Intermediate level designs that teach new skills and promote excitement for the art that is Knitting. I think new knitters should have the opportunity to work with a well-written design that reinforces their current skills, teaches them new skills and gets a "WOW, you made that?!!?" response when showing off their completed project.
If you've never tried to knit cables before, my Twisted Trails EZ Cable Hat may be the one you'll want to try. Yes, yes, it's a cable pattern, but you won't need to worry about using a cable needle. No-sir-ree!! When you get down to it, cable stitches are simply stitches knit out of sequence and that's what we have here. Stitches knitted out of sequence. And I've included instructions on how to do exactly that.
To make things a bit more fun I decided to add a twist to the rib by incorporating a twisted knit stitch. Don't know how to do a twisted knit stitch? Don't worry! The pattern will tell you how to do it.
The sample hat was knitted up by working 3 yarns together to make a worsted weight yarn, but you can just select a beautiful worsted weight yarn you like and use that. If you're curious, though, I used 1 strand of Heritage Silk by Cascade lace weight (85% superwash wool/15% mulberry wool), 1 strand of Candy Cane lace weight (70% alpaca/20% silk/10% cashmere) and 1 strand of Great Northern Yarns DK weight (70% mink/30% cashmere).
As with all my designs, please contact me at the Email listed on the pattern if you have any questions as you work up the design. I want you to have a fun making the hat and end up with a beautiful result.
And as always, I thank you for looking at my pattern and a special thanks goes to my many Follower Admirers. You guys are the BEST!
In pattern stitch, 20 stitches and 27 rows + 4 inches/10 cm

Zuiko Digital ED 50mm f2 Macro Review

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review

Great blog and a really good review. I have this lens now for about half a year, and it really is the best lens I got. It's very bright and sharp and is especically good for portraits. The only inconvience I've encountered is that fixated 50mm lens, which can't be changed. Because with a Olympus e-400, that I used before, I had a crop of 2.0, which makes it an equivalent of a 100m lens. Sometimes I really had to get far away from the model or object. But I agree, every Olympus User should own one. Especially because there aren't that many cheap and good lenses out there for Olympus user…
Great review was interested in the performance at f22 - have done some product shots over the last couple of days using this lens at f22, happy with the results, however would be interested to drop back to f16 to see if there is any difference. I needed maximum depth of field for what i was shooting
In respect to the 35mm macro it represents great value for money I thought the results were not. can supply a couple of sample shots if interested
This is indeed an excellent macro lens, as everyone else here has attested to. The construction is rock solid and the lens isn't heavy at all, which some reviews had led me to believe it would be.

Yellow Jackets outlast Gents
IOWA – There was no buzzer beater for the Crowley Gents this time.
The Gents, who beat Westlake on a last-second shot Tuesday, fell behind early and were never able to recover Friday in a 72-59 loss to Iowa on the Yellow Jackets' home court.
The loss sent the Gents to 11-13 on the season and 2-4 in District 4-3A play.
"We dug ourselves a hole in the second quarter and that really was our downfall the rest of the game," said CHS coach Derrick Boone, whose squad was outscored 24-11 in the second frame and trailed 39-27 at the half.
The Gents were able to chip away in the third quarter and they cut the lead to 53-48. But missed opportunities in the frame proved costly in the end. The Gents made just three of their 11 free throw attempts in the frame and went 13-for-34 from the charity stripe overall on the night.
"We played solid defense and we hustled," said Boone of his team's play in the third quarter. "But we just didn't take advantage of our opportunities at the free throw line. When you go 13-for-34 from the line, you can't expect to win ballgames."
But even with the missed opportunities at the stripe, the Gents were still within striking distance.
Andre Mills hit a floater in the lane early in the third quarter and after a steal, Bryson Domino added a layup to get the Gents within four (56-52) with just over six minutes remaining.
That, however, was as close as the Gents would get.
Iowa scored the next seven points and went on a 16-7 run in the final four minutes to seal the victory.
"The loss is tough, but one good thing was that this was the hardest I've seen my guys fight," said Boone, whose squad was whistled for countless fouls late in the game. "We fought though adversity when the calls weren't going our way and we gave ourselves a chance.
"We'd get close and then the whistle would blow and kind of take the air out of us a little bit. But they kept a positive attitude and they fought through it, we just couldn't get over that hump."
Marcus Williams and Damon Malbrough led the Gents with 17 and 16 points, respectively. Danny Malbrough followed with 12 points and Jesse Harmon added five. Mills scored five points, Domino had three and Charles Onezine had two.
Aaron Guillory paced the Yellow Jackets with 18 points and Taray Martin had 16. Bryan Marks and Daquain Matthews each hit double figures with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
The Gents will play host to South Beauregard on Tuesday.

Reasonable tax
The severance tax on natural gas pumped from the Marcellus Shale bed in Pennsylvania proposed by Gov. Ed Rendell ("Rendell Eyes Tax on Natural Gas Wells," May 25) makes far better sense than opening 400,000 additional acres in state parks for accessibility and drilling privileges to natural gas corporations in lieu of a tax on gas extracted from the wells.
The Marcellus Shale bed spans most of Pennsylvania and is the largest in the country. The Chesapeake Energy Corp., a major natural gas developer in Pennsylvania, states in its 2008 annual report that it expects to drill 3,900 net wells by the end of 2009 and to develop 1.25 million net acres of leaseholds.
The report goes on to state that the eastern United States natural gas market offers producers the best profit margins in the United States and lower drilling costs increase the recovery of these resources.
The profit margins of corporations drilling in the Marcellus Shale will not be seriously impacted by the proposed tax on their output. The large number of leaseholds by Chesapeake and other drilling companies negates any reason to open additional state forest lands.
The proposed tax is appropriate, in line with taxes in other states and should be enacted by the Legislature before July 1.

Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson rants about inaccuracies in Gravity movie to 1.4 million Twitter followers but it smashes box office records on opening weekend
More from News
By Daily Mail Reporter and Associated Press
PUBLISHED: 23:27 EST, 6 October 2013 | UPDATED: 23:27 EST, 6 October 2013
The movie Gravity may have rocketed to the top of the box office and into industry record books during its opening weekend, but one space expert was definitely not impressed.
Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson saw the film on Sunday night. He then took to Twitter to complain at length to his 1.4 million followers about what he saw as scientific inaccuracies.
In a run of 12 tweets over the course of an hour, Dr Tyson conceded that the premise of the plot was plausible. But he had a number of problems with the rest of the movie starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock.
Box office hit: Gravity broke box office records this weekend but famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson had a number of problems with the movie
Start: Dr Tyson's rant began: 'The film #Gravity should be renamed 'Zero Gravity''
Fame: The astrophysicist has over 1.4 million Twitter followers
His rant began: 'The film #Gravity should be renamed 'Zero Gravity'' Then, under the tagline 'Mysteries of #Gravity', Dr Tyson lists what he saw as mistakes.
Dr Tyson asked: 'Why Bullock, a medical Doctor, is servicing the Hubble Space Telescope,' and 'How Hubble (350mi up) ISS (230mi up) & a Chinese Space Station are all in sight lines of one another.'
The astrophysicist questioned that 'When Clooney releases Bullock's tether, he drifts away. In zero-G a single tug brings them together' and 'Why anyone is impressed with a zero-G film 45 years after being impressed with '2001:A Space Odyssey''
He continued by wondering 'Why Bullock's hair, in otherwise convincing zero-G scenes, did not float freely on her head' and why 'Astronaut Clooney informs medical doctor Bullock what happens medically during oxygen depravation (sic).'
Unimpressed: Dr Tyson asked why Sandra Bullock's hair did not float in what were supposed to be zero-gravity conditions (as seen below)
Mistake: Tyson believed that Bullock's hair should have been floating freely in this scene to mimic zero-gravity conditions
Dr Tyson concluded with a final 'mystery': 'Why we enjoy a SciFi film set in make-believe space more than we enjoy actual people set in real space.'
But while Tyson had several issues with the movie, Gravity was spectacular success at the box office.
The Warner Bros. adventure debuted with $55.55 million in North American ticket sales, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
This represents the biggest October opening ever and the biggest openings for Bullock and Clooney. The film also dominated the international box office, adding another $27.4 million overseas.
List: In a run of 12 tweets over the course of an hour, Dr Tyson explained his issues with the film
Admission: Tyson conceded that the premise of the movie was actually plausible
'It's all good news,' said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution.
He credited director and co-writer Alfonso Cuaron, who takes viewers into orbit with a story set almost entirely in space that explores challenges faced by two astronauts during a spacewalk.
Cuaron's team developed equipment and technology to replicate the weightlessness of space.
'It's never been seen before, visual effects like this,' Fellman said. 'Just the space shots are mind-boggling. It looks like you're right there.'

"I'm stoked that my senior year I finally get to be official and I could be there to do it," Lerback said. "I'm just happy to win it."
Lerback's 1,000 points for her victory helped the Lunas edge King Kekaulike, 3,645-3,456.
Na Alii were led by a 1-2 finish in girls bodyboard by twins Ginger and Amber Prados.

The Lunas rolled to the boys team crown behind a win by Nainoa Steward in bodyboard and Kala Willard's second-place finish to King Kekaulike freshman Cody Young in shortboard.
The Lahainaluna boys scored 4,545 points to easily outdistance Baldwin (3,276) and King Kekaulike (2,843).
"You can see this break right from our school, we see it every day, we surf it every day," Lerback said. "It is just good to win at a home break and let everyone know that this is our home break and you know it."
The Lunas are serious about winning the first MIL title when the championship contest rolls around at Hookipa Beach Park on April 19.
The season also includes a meet next Saturday at D.T. Fleming Beach Park.
"We are doing a lot of training," Lerback said. "We have morning practices on the track - we run miles and do stretches and we have been having heats out here. We all want it really bad, all of us are really dedicated to it. And it is good to have a whole team of people who want the same thing."
Steward won his division in the Maui Scholastic Surf Championships last year when the sport was run on a club basis.
"It's an honor to be the first one to win something like this," Steward said. "Competing for the high school, along with everybody else here, I just have so much pride for my school - representing Lahainaluna is just awesome. We are the oldest school west of the Rockies, so to be able to take something like this is an honor for me. Bodyboarding is a big part of my life and I'm just happy to be here today."
While Lerback and Steward are seniors, Young splashed onto the scene as a 15-year-old to take the top spot in the biggest division, boys shortboard.
Seven schools and 52 competitors took part Saturday - Hana's Clyde Neer showed he could be in the battle with Young and Willard in the next couple of weeks after an impressive array of tricks helped him finish third in boys shortboard.
"It's pretty cool," Young said. "It is just cool to get the opportunity to have a school-involved thing like this for surfing. Hopefully it will open some doors for the future."
Young, who caught the first wave of the day, in a preliminary heat, said the team aspect adds to the fun.
"Surfing is an individual sport and you don't get to cheer on your friends because you are usually trying to beat them, but it's different in this scenario," he said.
Surfing organizers in Hawaii have been trying to have high school competition for more than two decades. Young could emerge as one of the pioneers.
"My geometry teacher (Matt Brown) is also the surf coach and he just told me when I came into math class and I was stoked because I might get four more years of this," Young said.
For many years, one of the roadblocks was liability. The MIL trainer assigned to Saturday's event, Lahainaluna's John Conrad, said the sport offers less danger than many of the others contested in the state.
"It's as safe as the skill level of the athletes, as well as the supervision," Conrad said. "Today was a perfect starter meet for us because the waves aren't really big and it's not really critical. All of these kids have been surfing for years. To me it's not an unsafe situation - there's inherent risk in anything."
The first division final was in girls bodyboard, and the Prados twins dominated.
"It wasn't even like competition, everybody was really nice," Ginger Prados said. "It was super fun to be out there with my sister."
Amber Prados added, "We compete with each other even when we're not in contests to see who's better. She is obviously better - she can do way more tricks than me. It is pretty cool to compete for your school. I like that it's an MIL sport now."

Domain names. If you are a company either doing business on the internet, or looking to strengthen your brand via the internet, they are quite a big deal. That's what makes the domain name of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets — while not the most popular sports team in the planet, certainly one that is known to the casual sports fan — so interesting.
Like every other NBA team, the Nets actual website is a subdomain on NBA.com (www.nba.com/nets). The NBA wants to house all of its teams websites under the NBA banner, rather than on individual sites, hence the subdomains. Now, if you don't spend your every waking moment on an NBA team site, you may not remember that your favorite team's URL is "nba.com/team". You may only remember "Lakers.com" or "Kings.com". No problem, both of those URL's will forward you to those team's respective sites.
Nets.com? It directs you to the site of New York's other basketball team, the New York Knicks.
The domain is currently owned by Cyber Mesa, a telecommunications company based out of New Mexico. While it was previously believed that the site may have been purchased by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, it seems with the current homage to New York's other basketball team, that Cuban may not be the culprit. Or maybe, as The Brooklyn Game points out, it could possibly be a cleverly contrived Cuban conspiracy. Or maybe, as noted by Deadspin, Cyber Mesa is simply trying its best to get the Nets to purchase the domain name? The website previously seemed to point to a prostitution scandal that involved Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov back in 2007).
Or maybe the site is now being run by someone who is a seriously big fan of the Knicks?
While there are multiple other domain names that the NBA has yet to scoop up — Wizards.com is own by card-game maker Wizards of the Coast, for example — no other domain name seems to have been so troublesome…or interesting. With so many common team names, this domain name issue is not just relegated to basketball; Major League Baseball was looking to purchase the "Rockies.com" domain name back in September of this year.
Apparently, things did not go as smoothly as planned, as the domain still features the Rockies (mountain range) tourism authority.

"I wish that they had more resources and monitoring of the campus," said MCC Longview student Crystal Peeples. "I rarely see any security officers around campus and I just think that if people see them more often, then bad things are possibly less likely to happen."
But Penn Valley, Longview, Blue River, Business & Technology and Maple Woods are staffed with campus police 24/7 and security cameras extend the watchful eyes of every officer, incidents can happen anywhere, at anytime. Students are encouraged to notify their campus police any time they have a concern, and it couldn't be easier. MCC Police can be reached by visiting the police station on campus, by calling the main dispatch line, (816) 604-1200, or by calling in from one of the emergency call stations located in several places on each campus. Whether you want an escort to your vehicle at night, or have noticed some suspicious activity out in the parking lot, assistance is only a call away.
Much of the safety advice given by campus police is good practice no matter where you are. According to Domenick Brouillette, MCC Associate Director of Public Safety, "You should avoid having tunnel vision, and pay attention to your surroundings. If something is suspicious, go with your gut and call for help."
MCC student Jessica Wegener has witnessed suspicious activity in the parking lots before. "Students are attending classes while their cars could be at risk in the parking lot," warns Wegener. What else can be done to minimize that risk?
"Locking your car doors and hiding valuables in your vehicle are two simple things you can do to reduce crime on school property," recommends Brouillette.

Candidate debates are among the most satisfying events in which we participate, and we were glad to do it again this year in collaboration with Muskegon Community College and Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce.
This year we focused on the city of Muskegon mayoral race one night, and the city commission candidates the next night.
The election season this year has been relatively low-key, but the debates showed how thoughtful the candidates are and there were at times lively interactions.
The mayoral candidates are incumbent Stephen J. Gawron and challenger Zawdie Abiade. The four candidates running for two at-large city commission seats are Ken Johnson, Bill Larson, Mark Molitor and Dan (Rinsema) Sybenga.
We hope the debates help residents make decisions for their ballots. But if nothing else, it was interesting to hear perspectives on the issues facing our community, helping us think about them in new ways.
Reporter Dave Alexander and David Takitaki from MCC moderated the event. They in coordination with community engagement specialist Paula Holmes-Greeley developed some of the questions.
But true to our mission to engage with readers, we asked for some question recommendations from the public, and we incorporated some of them into the debates.
Our readers wanted to know what city hall can do to improve family-supporting job development, how candidates would address urban violence and what the city's role is in continuing economic development. The possible relocation of Fisherman's Landing for port development was the final reader question.
A couple of overriding themes developed at the debates through the responses to multiple questions:
n There was a strong sentiment about the potential for port development here, making "Port City" a modern-day moniker rather than a bygone one.
n No surprise, the violence in our community is a deep concern, and one without an easy answer. Some favor different policing tactics, while others stressed the need to get at the hopelessness felt among young residents. The need for more economic development certainly intertwined with this issue.
For more on what the candidates had to say, you can check out our live coverage of the events as well as the recaps at mlive.com/muskegon.
In addition, video of the two debates will be shown on MCC TV on the Comcast cable systems in the Muskegon area Saturdays and Sundays at 1 and 7 p.m along with Mondays and Wednesdays at noon and 9 p.m. through Nov. 5. The cable access channel can be found on Channel 98, Channel 44-5 or Channel 902, depending upon the cable platform.
And you can also view the videos at www.youtube.com/muskegoncc.
We hope you'll check out these forums before casting your vote on Nov. 5.

The Lynching of Carbon Dioxide – The Innocent Source of Life, by Dr. Martin Hertzberg
… Al Gore, the IPCC, and the vast majority of politicians in
the US and Europe argue that this [need to reduce CO2 emissions] is all established science. But I
am here to show that not only is this not established science, but that
the objective evidence available indicates that it is false.
Shocking isn't it? You might ask, how can a lifelong Democrat
like myself reject my party's position on global warming and join the
camp of the skeptics, virtually all of whom are Republicans or neocons.
