How did you decide on your DJ name? What's your real name?
Are you from the South yourself?
As the Rapture say, "People don't dance no more, they just stand there like this" - how often do you encounter this?
Ideal crowd?
How do you feel about requests?
Do you have a story about a particular request or requester?
Do you DJ full time? What do you do outside of DJing?
Where can we find you venue-wise?
Does why you likely won't be back at the Aalto have to do with alcohol?
How long have you been spinning?
What drew you to DJing originally?
What are your thoughts on vinyl versus CDs versus laptops?
What songs will we find ourselves dancing to with you?
How would you describe yourself in five words or less - complete sentence or not:
How do you describe the genre(s) you play?
Who are your other favorite Portland DJs?
You can next catch DJ HWY 7 at Slabtown on Sept. 12 (with Hillstomp, Pure Country Gold & Right On John) and likely at Rotture a couple days prior on Sept. 10 (with DJ Beyonda, Memphix/Daptone's Chad Jone$ Weekley and Tony Janda) as Hole In My Soul

'Argo' tops 'Lincoln' at Oscars
In a best picture category rich in films about history, history repeated itself Sunday when Ben Affleck's suspenseful Iranian hostage drama "Argo" beat Steven Spielberg's reverential "Lincoln."
"Argo" actor-director Affleck starred in "Shakespeare in Love," which beat Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" for best picture in 1999. »Read Full Article(11)
Setzer brings swinging holiday cheer to Potawatomi
On the 16th day of November, Brian Setzer gave with glee: 5 sax men, 4 trumpet players, 2 backing singers...and drums dressed in tinsel, glittering.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra's Christmas show, at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater, also had falling suds (subbing for snow), TV theme song cameos (including "The Flintstones," "Peter Gunn" and "The Andy Griffith Show") and covers from Setzer's Stray Cats rockabilly days. »Read Full Article(1)
Danceworks' 'Intersect' showcases breadth of artists involved
If one creative mind is a good thing, bringing many together for a project must be an even better thing — right?
Apparently so, given the variety of dance and original music in the Danceworks Performance Company's collaborative "Intersect" program. »Read Full Article
Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

Posted on 10/27/2003 9:17:40 PM PST by spectr17
SoCal Fires Live Thread 10/28
On Seeley Way, about 50 yards west of 138.
Please tell me that was a joke.
Please start a new one with the links from Post #1, please?
To be fair to Bob, I don't think he bothers to actually read the threads before he disrupts them with his Radio FR spam. Sorry to hear about your brother.
The stress being stretched over no telling how many days by these fires can be devastating to some.
No knowledge of that area, DO they ever have big fires in that region?
Your guess is wrong. Northern Baja is adjacent to San Diego county, and the conditions for fire there are similar to those in San Diego county, but the potential for damage is actually far worse. The boarder area with San Diego is even more prone to fire because it has less natural barriers and more available fuel to feed fires. It's flatter, which allows the winds to more easily pick up, and all the high-density, low-quality dwellings would burn much more rapidly. Yet, I can not recall any Santa Ana driven fires striking this area.
This is not the time for a war. If you read again what I posted, I made no comment about the propriety of the FR Radio mention or any comparison of its importance relative to this incredible tragedy. To tell FReepers that I think FR Radio is more important than real suffering is extremely insulting to me. Let's end it here. I'm now sorry that I even took the time to comment on what I thought was a foolish post. If you said that the FR Radio post was not appropriate on the thread, you would not have heard me make a comment. (Best wishes to your brother and his family making it through this.)
Will the sheeple rise up and say enough is enough?
I've got a house full of people from Big Bear at our house - and their collective seven dogs, four cats - and they are itching (scratching and barking) at me for information.
Or, in the alternative, if someone could tell FNC to provide some decent coverage that would also work.
I don't know what point you are trying to make but 1,200 plus homes lost is no minor matter.
What is sad is that much of it could have been avoided if they would just let them cut and thin. In Big Bear, they have actually tagged dead trees that were killed by beatles with signs that say you can not cut this tree. The Beatles thrive there, eat what they want, then move to the next tree. They say 90% of the trees on the north and east side of Lake Arrowhead are dead or dying.
Fuel for fire. Fuel for ire against these very whacked out environmentalist.
Yep, and he will have taken six different positions on the problem himself. Weasely sure knows how to cover an issue.

Smoking Permanently Damages Your DNA, Study Finds (nbcnews.com) 176
An anonymous reader quotes a report from NBC News: Smoking scars DNA in clear patterns, researchers reported Tuesday. Most of the damage fades over time, they found -- but not all of it. Their study of 16,000 people found that while most of the disease-causing genetic footprints left by smoking fade after five years if people quit, some appear to stay there forever. The marks are made in a process called methylation, which is an alteration of DNA that can inactivate a gene or change how it functions -- often causing cancer and other diseases. The team examined blood samples given by 16,000 people taking part in various studies going back to 1971. In all the studies, people have given blood samples and filled out questionnaires about smoking, diet, lifestyle and their health histories. They found smokers had a pattern of methylation changes affecting more than 7,000 genes, or one-third of known human genes. Many of the genes had known links to heart disease and cancers known to be caused by smoking. Among quitters, most of these changes reverted to the patterns seen in people who never smoked after about five years, the team reported in the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics. But smoking-related changes in 19 genes, including the TIAM2 gene linked to lymphoma, lasted 30 years, the team found.

Padgett, a rising junior big man, showed some neat agility around the basket with his moves. He scored 17 points, grabbed some rebounds and blocked some shots to lead Xaverian to a 60-32 victory over Beacon at the 2007 Super Hoop Jam Fest held inside the heated gym at Holy Cross.
Padgett showed soft hands and confidence in handling the ball in the low post. He got more sure of his ability to score as the game wore on in the second half. Xaverian held only a seven-point lead heading into the second half at 26-19.
Jackson was also terrific, showing power on his drives to the basket and a soft touch from the perimeter. Patrick scored 20 points, including a few jumpers from the outside.
This contest was blown open thanks to the inside play of Padgett and the offensive balance of Jackson. Many college coaches from the New York area were impressed with both players. It's likely each of these players will end up at a division one school down the road.

Dean Winchester. To some it's just a name like any other name. To most its the name of a man that other men wish they could be, the name that most girls have screamed over and over as he took them back to his motel and gave them the night of their lives, the name that every evil son of a bitch feared. He was a man of many talents and he knew it, everyone knew it. He liked it that way but to me he was just Dean. He has always been just Dean. The same as everyone else…..kind of. Maybe because I was never the one he chose to take back to his place. Some say it's because he respects me. That's a nice way to say I'm not into you and I knew it. He was the only man that made my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. Every single time he walked through that door I hoped he would see me as more than a friend but that never happened and I'm realistic, that would never happen. I'm stuck in the friend zone and there is no getting out. My name is Abby Singer and Dean Winchester is my best friend.
Chapter One
Dean knocked once and walked into the house, "Anyone home?" he called out and closed the door behind him, "Hello…Bobby, Abby."
"In the kitchen!" Abby yelled back.
Abby fixed her hair really fast and turned just in time to see Dean walk into the room, "Well look what the cat dragged in." she smiled.
Dean walked around the table and gave her a soft punch in the arm, "hey short stuff." He said and headed to the fridge and grabbed a beer, "Where's your dad?" he asked and Abby just gave him a smile. Same as always. No hug or any contact other than a punch.
"He had to run out and get a car part of something for a old Honda he's working on." Abby said. "He should be back soon."
Dean popped the cap off the beer and tossed into the trash, "So home alone huh? How many guys you got hiding in your bedroom? Should I go check and do some damage?" he winked at her and leaned on the counter with a smile.
That wink and smile sent shivers through her body but she tried her best to hide it from him. She knew she could never have him. He would never want her in that way. It is what it is.
Abby tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled, "None. You know I don't date. Hell if I tried dad would have them buried in the back yard before I could tell them my real name. You know him. No guys allowed." She said, "So is there anything I can help you with?" she asked him as she leaned over to put the pots and pans under the cabinet. Dean's eyes roamed over her, checking her out. It had been six months since he last saw her and she had really grown up a lot.
When Abby stood up and saw his eyes glues to her she wondered, 'Was he checking me out? No he couldn't have been.'
"Nah I can wait on him" Dean said, "I'm just going to head out back and change the oil on the impala."
"You still driving that old thing?" Abby smiled at him.
Dean gave her a glare, "Ok one she is not old, she a classic. Two she it not and it. Three she is may baby, the love of my life. The only woman that has my heart. Four she attracts the ladies. I cant tell you have many friends we have made over the years together."
Abby just rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted to hear about was all his hook up but that was part of being his best friend. "I swear if that car had a skirt you would stick you dick in her tail pipe."
"Damn straight." Dean said.
"I thought so." Abby said. "How's Sam doing in college?" she asked.
"I don't know. I don't talk to him much. I guess he is ok. He's moving in with some chick so I guess they are serious. I told him not to. I mean its college. He should be getting laid by more than just one girl you know what I mean?"
"No I don't. I'm a girl, Dean."
"But you know what I mean."
"No because like I said I'm a girl. I think you forget that sometimes." Abby said and crossed her arms.
"What? No I don't." Dean said, "How can I forget? You look all…...like a girl and stuff." He said and scratched the back of his head. "Im going to go fix the car." He said and walked out of the room. Things were getting awkward.
Later on that evening Dean and Bobby were sitting in the den watching TV and reading over articles Bobby found over a hunt when Abby walked down the stairs wearing a lavender fitted tank top and a blue jean skirt. "Hey dad I'm going to pick up dinner." She said.
When Dean heard her he looked up and saw what she was wearing and his mouth dropped open. She had really grown into her curves over the last few months and she was hot.
"Whoa hang on a damn minute." Dean said, "You cant go out like that."
Abby turned around and looked at him, "Why not? Does it not look good together?"
Dean looked at her and then looked at Bobby, "Tell her she cant go out like that."
"What?" Bobby asked and looked over at Dean.
"Look at her. She's wearing….clothes."
"I know and I think that's a good thing." Bobby said.
"No you know what I mean. Guys will be looking at her and thinking stuff about her and you know what that leads to. Guys will be knocking at your door wanting her and the next thing you know she's pregnant and doesn't know what the father is. Haven't you seen Maury?" Dean said in one breath.
Bobby glared at Dean and just shook his head, "Idgit." He said and went back o what he was doing.
"You ok there Dean?" Abby asked.
"Fine." He said, "Be careful." Dean had took notice of how she had developed over the passed few months. He didn't want anyone taking advantage of her. Before she wore sweats and t-shirts but now she was a woman and it was hard not to see that. 'Get a grip Dean. This is Abby. Don't look at her like that.'
"Ok well I'll be back in a few." Abby said and walked out the door.
Dean couldn't believe how much she had grown. She was a woman now and he was afraid for her. Guys were going to look at her like he looked at other women and he didn't like that at all. He knew he was a jerk but he didn't want anyone taking advantage of Abby. She was sweet and innocent and he had to keep her safe. That is what was important. Their friendship meant a lot to him and he wasn't going to lose it. If only he knew how she really felt.
*So here's another new one for you. I hope you like : ) Please review and thanks to Joyce for all the extra help!

Communicators SMILE in London on Monday
5 October, 2012 - 09:28
It was a day of connectivity, collaboration and community - both in person and virtually - as 175 attendees gathered to hear best practice case studies on social media inside the large enterprise.
"Once you get people working together, things will happen that you don't expect – things you did not predict - also, some of what you expected to happen will not."
Those were just some of the words of enterprise social networking wisdom presented at simply-smile – Social Media Inside the Large Enterprise – this week.
They were spoken by Mike Grafham, Head of Customer Success at Yammer. Grafham was one of several presenters at the conference attended by 135 communicators from the likes of Vodafone, Aer Lingus, GSK, Heineken and Ernst and Young.
Internal social media in action
The conference was kicked off by Fabio Delton and Stefania Todisco of UniCredit Bank in Milan sharing their success in launching their internal site, OneNet. The two presenters – along with SMILE co-chair, Silvia Cambie, spoke of user adoption, establishing proper governance and stressed the importance of making social media platforms global since there's "always a danger that they can get too localized." To balance content, Delton and Todisco recommended company events as a way "to get people talking around the world."
(Hear more about the OneNet case study on October's simply-tv and in Silvia Cambie's informative white paper).
Tom Barton, Head of Communications, UK at Capgemini shared his own experiences using Yammer which made for an engaging case study for those attending the conference in person and virtually.
Among his key points that registered with delegates was treating internal social platforms as "test beds" for internal and external company initiatives. Barton also pointed out the ability of social media to give an "instant temperature" check of how a company is feeling, ridding the need to wait for the annual global survey results.
Intranet best practices were also highlighted including Capgemini's practices of structuring its intranet around hubs based on where employees are located and their particular function at the company. Content on the site is tailored accordingly. At the time of the conference, Capgemini had just switched over from 26 separate intranet sites to one!
Other Yammer early adopters who presented at SMILE were Laura Jennings and Kirsty Harvie of Diageo. Each helped to launch a social site called Mosaic and credited a supportive and knowledgeable Chief Information Officer for helping to make the launch a smooth one.
Who's using what?
During the segment, Which Platform?, a variety of social tools were compared including Yammer, NewsGator, SnapComms and Socialcast. Polls conducted at SMILE (powered by Crystal Interactive) revealed interesting numbers in ESN platform usage among attendees:
• 50% use SharePoint
• 45% use Yammer
• 35% use Google
• 15% use Jive
• 5% use NewsGator and Chatter
10% of attendees admitted they are not on an enterprise social platform – yet.
Following Which Platform?, Mike Grafham discussed his popular Yammer platform and the way it tries to meet employees' expectations regarding enterprise social media:
"People expect everyone to be accessible, they expect to be listened to and to be heard." Amen.
Attendee feedback and discussions
As SMILE was taking place, additional conversations were occurring simultaneously on the conference's own Yammer feed.
Notable comments included one attendee using Yammer in her company to report technical problems rather than reporting them to the IT Helpdesk:
"I usually find the expert within 20 minutes," she remarked.
Other ways people are using Yammer to enhance productivity and collaboration include one example from an attendee whose customers conduct "YamJams" uniting staff to discuss a specific topic for one-hour.
"It not only provided CEOs instant feedback and gauged the pulse of the organisation it also provided users a voice around key initiatives," she commented.
From an HR standpoint, enterprise social networking platforms can foster engagement and a strong sense of community among new hires and provide sharing of informal information such as the best travel routes to take to work and pleasant spots to break for lunch.
Adoption challenges discussed included culture issues and whether or not employees are truly ready to share information. While resistance from managers needing to rethink their leadership skills was predicted, the overall feeling seemed to echo that specialists and experts in a particular area would more than likely be willing to share useful information inside a company.
So what did attendees think of SMILE?
"I thought the day was brilliant. What I really took away from it was how an event like this benefits from some quality Yammer input beforehand and the chance to follow up so easily on contacts/themes made during the day," commented one delegate who works in HR.
Other delegates called the event "flawlessly executed with tons of learning to be had."

How Music Works
Press Pass All-Access Series: Greg Kot with David Byrne and Bettina Richards.
In his latest book since the best-selling Bicycle Diaries, David Byrne takes on the role of musical historian and anthropologist as he dissects how, exactly, music has been shaped through time and place. Ranging in scope from Wagnerian opera houses to African villages to birdsongs in San Francisco, Byrne's How Music Works is a guided tour of the business, physics and joys of music. One of the most brilliant artists of our time, Byrne's writing, honed from a life of musical experience, will be remembered as one of the most enlightening books on the subject in a long, long time.
This farewell concert was a celebration, a send-off extraordinaire, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those who were lucky enough to be there.
This is your chance to see the almost 4-hour concert in its entirety on the big screen.
This event is also the early release party for Shut Up and Play the Hits on DVD and Blu-Ray; both these and SUAPTH posters will be on sale at the theatre that evening!
LCD Soundsystem: The Final Concert
starring James Murphy
"If it's a funeral, let's have the best funeral ever."
On April 2nd, 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with New York Magazine calling the event "a marvel of pure craft" and Time Magazine lamenting "we may never dance again."
From when "Dance Yourself Clean" kicks things off, to the crowd singing along to "All My Friends," to the final encore of "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down," the film engulfs and moves, as the passion and emotion of the musicians and the crowd wash over. Someone great, indeed.
The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour
To celebrate the release of Magical Mystery Tour, the restored film will be shown on the big screen for the very first time and include some never before seen footage and interviews.
Songs you'll never forget, the film you've never seen and a story that's never been heard.
A strictly limited number of screenings will take place from this fall in the US, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, Italy, and Mexico. Come to the Music Box Theatre and watch John, Paul, George and Ringo climb aboard a colorful bus with a slew of eccentric characters and take a whimsical tour through the English countryside on their way to a beachside resort.
Magical Mystery Tour
A film by Bernard Knowles, The Beatles starring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr
In September 1967, in the wake of the extraordinary impact of Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles made a film — this time conceived and directed by them. Based on a loose unscripted narrative and in the spirit of the experimental mood of the time, the film became the vehicle to present 6 new songs: "Magical Mystery Tour", "The Fool On The Hill", "Flying", "I Am The Walrus", "Blue Jay Way" and "Your Mother Should Know".
Magical Mystery Tour is a surreal take on the British tradition of a coach trip to the seaside, featuring John, Paul, George and Ringo as themselves along with an eccentric cast of characters.
Sing-A-Long Xanadu!
Sing along while your dreams come true!
For one magical night only, Xanadu will be experienced the only way a classic musical roller disco film should be presented – in a theater filled with leg-warmers, drag queens and screaming Xanadu fans of all shapes and sizes belting out the film's well known songs!
Sing-Along Xanadu promises a tacky, hilarious extravaganza filled with roller skating, neon, spandex, and lots and lots of glitter. Hosted by Dick O'Day and the Camp Midnight Players!
A film by Robert Greenwald starring Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly and Michael Beck
This romantic musical fantasy film is the story of Sonny Malone and the search for his muse. After running into a roller-skating woman named Kira (Olivia Newton-John), Sonny becomes obsessed with finding her again. He is lead to an abandoned auditorium, where he finds Kira again. Literally a Greek muse, she unites him with Danny McGuire (Gene Kelly), a man who was similarly inspired by Kira 40 years ago. They team up to build the world's greatest roller disco rink.
Jimi Hendrix 70th Anniversary Celebration Live at Woodstock
To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's birth we're screening his set at Woodstock.
Jimi Hendrix - Live at Woodstock
A film by Michael Wadleigh, Chris Hegedus, Erez Laufer starring Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell, Larry Lee, Juma Sultan
Hendrix's seminal performance at Woodstock in 1969, in high definition and surround sound.
Live at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix's headlining appearance at the most famous festival in rock music history, is rivaled only by his set at Monterey Pop for sheer legendary status. But the two are very different. The rock guitarist was a virtual unknown in America when he delivered his literally incendiary performance at Monterey in 1967. A little more than two years later he was an established star, picked to close this mammoth three-day show (he was slated to appear on Sunday night, but weather and various snafus pushed that to Monday morning).
Introduced as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix quickly corrects that to Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, with original drummer Mitch Mitchell and new bassist Billy Cox augmented by two percussionists and a second guitarist (all three are for the most part inaudible, subsumed in the great sonic wash of Hendrix's wailing guitar and Mitchell's thrashing drums). The music had changed, too. Hendrix had started moving away from the format of short, poppy songs with the Electric Ladyland album, and while he still plays "Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady," and "Fire," much of the emphasis in this lengthy set is on extended jamming. Not all of it works, but when it does — as on "Spanish Castle Magic" and a sped-up "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," which leads into the feedback-drenched re-imagining of "The Star-Spangled Banner" — the performance takes off. Little more than a year later, Jimi Hendrix, still regarded as the greatest rock guitarist ever, would be dead.

Ya, you probably thought I wasn't as good as I could be... because I got bored. Well... frustrated might be a better word. It's okay though, the biggest problem is I don't have music while playing. My skills were reduced by at least 20%, I'm not exaggerating, once I lost my way of listening to music while playing. I can just never get into the "SSBB mode" anymore... and it makes me blow / lose interest easily.
But just because it frustrated me doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it means I need more practice against MK.
It may not seem like it, but I've not played many 1v1s. Before I played you (and wuwi played a ton with me), I maybe had done 20-30 1v1s before that. Only two other people your level / Wuwi's level (Lloyd + Gio0o), so I don't have much experience with 1v1s.
That's why I've been so adamant about trying to practice, I NEED it.
To stay on topic:
A big thing about facing a good (let alone expert) MK player is a lot of mind games. If you can predict what move he'll use, or where he'll land, you can easily bypass his priority.

You can currently see the great French actress Isabelle Huppert playing a shellshocked bourgeois housewife wandering through the apocalypse of Michael Haneke's "Time of the Wolf.'' In 2001, for the same director, she played a romantically obsessed musician in the harrowing "The Piano Teacher.''
Another film starring Huppert opens today at the Kendall: Olivier Dahan's "La Vie Promise,'' in which she's cast as a foulmouthed blond streetwalker who reconnects with her youthful dreams. Truly, there is nothing the woman can't do - except save "Promise'' from the valley of the shadow of bad French movie pretensions.
When the film opens, Sylvia (Huppert) is over the hill, working the curbsides of Nice, and burning with rage against the world. Don't know why; this is the kind of movie in which every shot is a candy bowl of luscious angles, and every hooker is a bodacious stunner. Sylvia has a daughter long given up to foster care who turns up out of nowhere: Laurence (Maud Forget, last seen kissing the boys and then some in "Bad Company'') is a 14-year-old runaway desperately seeking maternal love and getting only insults in return.
After an encounter with a pimp prompts Laurence to act like Cheryl Crane to his Johnny Stompanato (hint to the Hollywood-history impaired: T he reference involves Lana Turner's daughter, her goon boyfriend, and a kitchen knife), mother and child flee the city for the country.
They meet one of Sylvia's old working-girl buddies, now off the street, who gives over a stash of letters she's holding for her friend. Those letters give us further information about Sylvia's past and hold open the possibility of her redemption. But first she has to do time in existential road-movie hell.
All right, it's not that bad. Dahan and his cinematographer, Alex Lamarque, create a magic Impressionist landscape out of rural France for Sylvia and her daughter to separate and wander within. There are shots of the mother crossing fields and collapsing in byways that recall a coffee-table remake of Agnes Varda's 1985 classic "Vagabond.'' That film, though, had a realistic toughness, while "La Vie Promise'' forays further and further into strained cinematic poetry.
The flowers, for instance. The movie begins with a child's recitation of what the names of various flowers mean, and we come to learn that Sylvia was taught the old ways by her long-dead grandmother and that, indeed, she had hopes of becoming a florist.
This gives Dahan license to put flowers in the immediate foreground of his shots, where they dwarf the characters, and to indulge in blurry handheld triple exposures of plants, Sylvia, and her memories. Alt-country songs by the likes of Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne fill the soundtrack, as if the director expected the music to do the heavy lifting.
These stylistic shifts keep "La Vie Promise'' from settling into any one thing, and while Huppert's performance is fierce and committed, committed to what is impossible to say, since Dahan keeps everything at a dreamy remove.
About halfway through, another drifter appears on the scene, a car thief ex-convict named Joshua (Pascal Greggory) who is, bien sÂur, attractively silver-haired and pensive. He becomes a helpful angel to Sylvia and Laurence, and there's the suggestion that the three may yet become a random nuclear family, existing outside society, always on the run.
That's a good idea for a movie. But first someone needs to move the damn flowers out of the way.

Oceanographer Sylvia Earle on respecting the resilience of nature, new learnings from Krista Tippett on self-compassion in life and career, and more deliberations on living alongside one another.
The best ideas are often the simplest ones, but their inception is mysterious and complex. Courtney Martin on serendipity and community, rather than process, as the crucial elements of creativity.
"Are we human beings who are in community, do we call to each other? Do we heed each other? Do we want to know each other?" Poet Elizabeth Alexander speaks of our need for language to understand our neighbors.
Waiting for test results in a hospital can be a solitary event. And unexpectedly quiet in certain waiting rooms. Jane Gross on the silent solidarity of women forged while waiting for the results of their mammogram tests each year.
What we need is within us and between us. With Wendell Berry at his side, Parker Palmer on the amazing abundance of self and community, and identifying what each of us has to offer.
After a period of seemingly endless frustration, from a parking ticket to a cancelled credit card, Jane Gross identifies the need in our lives for centered calmness, and the grace and forgiveness of our "better selves."
Wise voices remind us that there are realities we can embrace. Writings on the uncomfortable but rewarding work of taking a positive orientation to the speed bumps of life, from the ennui of advanced age to communicating the most difficult truths.
The limitations of language can be a barrier to deep connection. But the metaphor of unity and interconnectedness found in a sculpture by Jaume Plensa reminds us of the power of art and poetry to traverse this boundary.

Come on... The world recession had slaughtered their profitability in ethanol production and now pork producers are slughtering their herds because of lack of demand. This bodes ill for ADM and this quarters earnings, admit it. Repeat after me, PIGS GET SLAUGHTERED, so take our profits now.

Copyright vote right pill for greed
Related topics
You may have missed it yesterday but, while we were busy protecting the profits of American corporations with our new copyright law, the United Nations, no less, showed that it has come to its senses and will no longer tolerate such nonsense.
By a vote of 52 in favour and one abstention, the UN Commission on Human Rights approved a resolution saying that access to medication in the context of pandemics such as HIV/AIDS is a 'fundamental element for achieving for everyone the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health'.
This was a roundabout way of saying that big drug companies in the United States had better think again if they think that taking out patents on AIDS drugs will make them big money from sales of those drugs to poor countries afflicted by AIDS.
It makes official what has already become fact for most of Africa. AIDS drugs are increasingly being produced on the ground there in defiance of patents, at a fraction of the prices patent holders want and with the blessings of the African governments concerned.
It is not surprising to discover that the one abstention to this resolution came from the United States, whose representative whinged that it questioned the validity of internationally agreed protection of intellectual property rights.
Exactly. This is precisely what it does and about time too.
Now you will undoubtedly protest here that there is good reason to protect intellectual property. As a matter of natural justice alone, people should have a right to make some money from their innovations rather than see pirates take it all away and, as a matter of commercial interest, they will not go to the expense of producing new drugs if they do not have patents to help them recover their outlays.
All of this is true but it does not address the question of degree. How much should they get? Corporate America blithely takes the view that intellectual property rights give it the right to extort whatever it can get with no fetters to its greed except what it may choose to impose on itself.
It therefore has only itself to blame if it invites the response the UN has now given it. Make no mistake about this. The resolution was indeed the thin edge of the wedge. It sets a precedent that will cascade down through the entire intellectual property game across the world. From now on there are limits.
Let us put this into the local context. Our Government was recently fooled into adopting a draconian copyright law on the fatuous American sales pitch that it is the only way to make the SAR a regional centre of information technology.
It will make us nothing of the sort of course. It will only obstruct our IT development by making the process more expensive and hindering our own innovators at every step. What corporate America wants and has been given by this outrageous law is the right to plunder us, to enforce that plunder with our money instead of its own and to exclude us from the proceeds.
But difficulties have already arisen. Government officials have discovered that they have prohibited their own normal use of photocopiers and fax machines and their hasty patch-up legislation to get around this problem has developed problems of its own.
There will be graver problems to come. This sort of law invites widespread non-compliance. Tell yourself that you will never again save anything from the Internet to disk, particularly when your IT support people tell you to do so to avoid trouble with viruses. You criminal. Off to prison with you.
We will soon be taking a leaf out of Africa's book this way. It will be regrettable for rule of law but a reminder that rule of law can be misused too. Hurrah for the UN.

NPMHU/USPS Contract Negotiations Extended
May 21, 2016 -- The NPMHU and USPS bargaining teams have been engaged in contract negotiations since late February 2016 in an effort to reach agreement on the terms of their 2016 National Agreement. Contract talks between the parties continued well into the night on Friday, May 20, 2016 as the 2011 National Agreement was set to expire at midnight. While significant progress has been achieved, the parties have nevertheless been unable to finalize a full and complete successor contract. The parties have therefore agreed to extend bargaining over several key issues, with the hope of eventually reaching a full agreement. If and when a tentative successor agreement is reached, its terms will be distributed to the NPMHU membership for review and ratification.
More details will be shared and discussed at a meeting of all Local Presidents scheduled for Tuesday, May 24.
The parties at the National level have agreed, as is customary, that following the expiration of our current National Agreement, employees represented by the NPMHU shall be permitted to bid and those bids will count toward the bid maximums of our successor agreement. (click the banner for the written confirmation)
For those of you who regularly attend your Branch meetings you have heard the phrase "this is pick and shovel work" and that there is no magic bullet that will end violations of the contract by the malignancies inside management. Defending a negotiated contract requires all shop stewards, and yes even members as well, to roll up their collective sleeves and exercise their legal right to challenge any and all contractual transgressions. The surest way to lose our right to challenge management is to stop asserting those rights.
There are times that repeat violations require repeat challenges and the filing of scores of grievances on the same issue. For example, rules governing temporary movement from your bid duty assignment. The Contract is not at all confusing or ambiguous regarding movement but management insists on ignoring this important right day in and day out in some facilities. It certainly can be frustrating, but all we ask is that you notify any Union representative certified to protect your rights and let them go after it. Some of our basic rights are sometimes ignored as a matter of convenience. Our job is a simple one, enforce the law and make wanton violations of our Agreement by management as inconvenient as possible.
Read More of the March-April President's Report
Over decades of hard fought collective bargaining, the NPMHU, along with the other Postal Unions, have achieved gains in job security, wages, and working conditions that sometimes go underappreciated or even unnoticed. The current contract contains more than 200 pages of protections and rights we all enjoy. Beyond the National Agreement there are countless additional agreements in the form of Memoranda of Understanding and arbitration decisions that expand and strengthen the rights we have. More than a few of these gains occurring before many current employees were hired, or for that matter, even born. For a significant majority of mail handlers we have always enjoyed the no lay-off protection (Article 6) and have no concept or ever experienced that which other Unions deal with on a regular basis. This right was not given to us out of the kindness of the employer's heart but earned through tough bargaining. (Read More)

Meet Your 114th Congress
As we fight to improve and defend the rights of mail handlers everyday on all levels, we are once again reminded of what it would be like without the right to collectively bargain over wages, benefits, and working conditions and then defend those bargains. The unprecedented reversal of the jurisdictional determination on the Small Parcel Sorting System (SPSS) by the Postal Service is another example of the enormity of the rights we enjoy and the power those rights can wield. Without those rights, which include the right to challenge the employer when it violates the contract, which we all know is an inevitability, our darkest fears would be realized on a daily basis.

Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards is looking to update the charges after the death of man found outside the Dinnber Bell Catering business in August 2013.
19-year-old Andrew Jamal Gadson was originally charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery, robbery by force, possession of a tool during the commission of a crime and probation violation back in September.
However, Edwards is looking to upgrade the charges to felony murder after the death of 68-year-old Raymond Tilley, who was assaulted and suffered a large laceration to his head.

Dwarka Info
- State: Gujarat
- Famous for/as: Pilgrimage
- Altitude: 16 m
The name �Dwarka� that came from two words � dwara (door) and ka (Brahma) � stood for �gateway to the spiritual union with Brahma�. Dwarka is one of the ancient cities of India with a history that dates back to the 1500 BC and is linked to the ancient Hindu texts like the Gita and Puranas. Dwarka is associated with the life of Lord Krishna, who is believed to be one of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
According to legend, Dwarka was submerged in water after the death of Lord Krishna and the demise of the Yadava Dynasty. The present-day Dwarka was the Kushasthali of the ancient times which enjoyed a proud spot along the Saurashtra coast. It is believed that Dwarka was rebuilt six times by different civilisations and the present-day Dwarka is the 7th one.
The search for the lost city of Dwarka commenced in the early 1930�s. Archeologists of the Marine Archeology Unit (MAU) discovered the immersed township of Dwarka during their explorations which were conducted in 1983 � 1990.
This submerged township was built in six sectors and its general layout corresponded to the descriptions of the golden city of Dwarka as mentioned in the ancient texts. Copper coins, foundations of boulders, old constructions, pottery samples, etc. that date back to around 1500 BC were also excavated.
Present-day Dwarka sits on the right side of the river banks of the Gomati. Dwarka is a renowned historical and religious site and has the Dwarkadheesh Temple or Jagat Temple, which was built more than 2000 years ago. The Dwarkadheesh temple of Dwarka, built as per ancient Hindu architecture, is a five storey, ornate temple that rests on 60 pillars.
Nageshwar Mahadev, Rukmini Temple, Bhalka Tirth, Gomati Ghat Temples, etc. are some other popular pilgrim spots in Dwarka. Dwarka is also the seat of Adi Shankaracharya, who established four �maths� in four different parts of India. The Sharada Peetha of Dwarka is a famous research centre of Sanskrit language.

Dwarka is one of the four Dhams, the other three are Badrinath, Jagannath Puri, and Rameshwaram. There is a direct train to Dwarka from Delhi. We travelled by air to Ahemdabad and then by car to Dwarka and Somnath. The journey was memorable. We went to Bet Dwarka, covered Nagarjun Jostling and to themain attraction, the Dwarkadhish temple. We had very good darshan, both in the morning and evening. We enjoyed the sea beach and the Gayatri mantra chant on the beach.

"A perfect destination for hindus"
- Posted Jun 3, 2016
I had traveled from Porbandar to Dwarka by road a distance of about 125 KM. The roads are fairly good in whole of Gujarat and it took us approx 2 hrs to reach the temple site. The people around the temple are generally helpful and we had no problem in having peaceful darshan. Ambience is so which is normally expected around temples, but nobody troubled us for any payment or otherwise. A visit is a must who believe in hindu religion and you have mental peace after the visit.

"New avatar of the religious city"
- Posted Apr 12, 2016
I am ex-resident of Dwarka. Left approx 20 years ago when it was a small town, now it's a city full of commercial complexes many houses turned into cozy hotels. Sea shore is covered so you can watch sunset and enjoy sea roaring but can not dip your feet. New sudama bridge like layman zula will take directly to punch nadir tilth opposite temple. Don't miss walk on chowpatty about 56 stairs to gayatri temple and Bhadkeshwar in midst of sea, sunset point. Now a very enjoyable holiday place.

"Excellent trip to land of Krishna"
- Posted Feb 15, 2016
Though it it is small old town with no jazzy clubs, restaurants, five star culture etc. , it has its uniqueness and beauty in the historic Dwarkadheesh temple and seat of Shankarcharya. The love, devotion and beauty of the Lord of Dwarka daily attracts thousands of pilgrims from India and abroad to have a glimpse of Dwarkadheesh and to be at a place which was kingdom of the Lord five thousand years ago.
It has plenty of good/comfortable hotels and excellent sightseeing like Rukmani temple, Beyt Dwarka (an island in the sea), Gopi Talao and Nageshwar temple, one of the 12 jyotirlings around Dwarka. These can be covered within 4-5 hours or so in a taxi or tourist bus.
The Beyt Dwarka's discovery is a befitting rebut to all those who have been calling Lord Krishna (and Rama) only as myths. The majestic appearance of the temple and attraction of the Lord of Dwarka alone itself is a reason to make a visit to Dwarka, and you will love to come again. Attached are photos of Dwarkadheesh temple, birds on way to Beyt Dwarka by boat, Gopi Talao and Rukmani temple.

When creating composite images, from time to time you're bound to run into a situation where creating that composite proves challenging. And this image certainly provides a good example of that. It is a fuzzy subject. This macaque, of course, is furry, and that fur is Fuzzy and that's going to create a challenge in terms of creating a good layer mask. But we can use some little tricks to help improve our results. Lets take a look at a process we might use with this image for example. What I'll do is create a layer mask where we can only see the macaque and not the background.
And that way we'll be able to place that macaque on a different background. So, let's get started by creating a selection. In this case I think I can create a selection pretty well. Based on one of the channels. It looks like the blue channel has pretty good contrast for the macaque so I'll use that as the basis of my selection. I'll create a copy of that blue channel by dragging its thumbnail down to the Create New Channel button, the blank sheet of paper icon at the bottom of the channels panel. I'll then enhance contrast by choosing Image > Adjustments and then Levels. And I'll maximize contrast to the extent possible.
I want to try and darken the background and lighten the macaque so that I have good contrast. I don't want too much contrast because then I'll lose some of that fur detail. So I want just enough. Perhaps, right around there might do the trick. In addition to adjusting the black and white point, I can also adjust that midtone value. And I'm really going to focus mostly on the fur details. So in fact, I'll zoom in a little bit so that we can see that, that fur is still comprised not only of black and white pixels but. But also some shades of gray, and that's going to be the key to having a nice smooth transition for that fur.
So that looks to be a pretty good adjustment, I'll good ahead and click Okay. But of course this is not a perfect adjustment. I want to adjust that background so that it's completely black and adjust the foreground so it's compeltely white. And that would be a little bit of a challenge with A normal brush tool for example. But I'm going to use the brush tool in conjunction with a blend mode in order to improve my results. I'll select the brush tool from the tool box and then press the letter D to make sure my colors are set to the default values of white and black. I can then press X as needed to switch the foreground and background colors. I'm then going to change the blend mode for my brush tool. To overlay.
That's a contrast blend mode, and it will allow me to lighten or darken areas of the image as needed. I'll then adjust the size of my brush using the left and right square bracket keys as needed to reduce or enlarge the brush respectively. And because I'm working with that overlay blend mode, I'm not simply painting with black, I'm actually, essentially, dodging and burning, lightening or darkening areas of the image. So, I can paint over these black areas, and if I come out over the fur, you'll notice that I don't completely destroy the fur. I'll certainly tone it down a little bit. But I'm not going to completely destroy it.
And so that allows me to clean up those areas around the (UNKNOWN) without causing any real harm to the fur. Similarly, I can paint with white in the interior, so I'll press the X key on the keyboard to switch the foreground and background colors. And then I'll paint just inside of the edge of that fur detail, in order to essentially create a path around which I'll be able to produce a selection. And so I'll just go around the full edge here, just of the Macack and paint to clean things up.
I'll go ahead and zoom out just a little bit here and use a little bit larger brush and not worry too much about getting this absolutely perfect. I'll just illustrate the basic concepts here. And giving myself a little bit of an area to work with. I think right about there. That should pretty well take care of it. I'll just check the top area up here. Maybe clean up some of that here. And for the moment I'm not going to worry about the stump here down below. I'll clean that up separately. But at this point I have a pretty good definition of at least the edge. So now I'll go ahead and fill the background with black and the foreground with white.
The way I'll do that is to create a selection. So I'll create a selection of the background. Basically moving my mouse around the outside of the macaque. With the lasso tool. And then I'll trace around the rest of the image and create that selection of all areas that need to be filled with black. Then I can go to the Edit menu and choose Fill, and then make sure that black is set as the option under the Use pop-up. And then I'll click OK in order to fill that area with black. I'll then press Ctrl + D on Windows or Cmd + D on Macintosh to deselect. And then I'll trace inside the macaque.
Just inside the fur line, once again using the Lasso tool. And following along that path that I cleared out for myself using that dodge and burn technique with the Brush tool. Once again I won't worry about the stump down at the bottom. I'll treat that separately. And so I"ll just trace all around the interior of the macaque all the way back to my original starting point and now, this area, I'll fill with white. So I'll go to the Edit menu and choose Fill and then I'll choose White from the Use popup and then click OK. Just to get a better initial result of course I could also select this stump down here.
I won't worry about being precise. I'll just create a basic selection so that my initial composite will look a little bit better and then from the edit menu I'll choose fill one more time and fill with white. I can then deselect by pressing Ctrl + V on Windows or Cmd + D on MacIntosh and now I have an alpha channel that reflects (INAUDIBLE) a good selection for my macaque including that fur detail. So I'll go ahead and click the Load Channel as Selection button. The dash circle icon at the bottom of the channels panel. That will load a selection where white is selected and black is deselected. And if I click on the RGB thumbnail I'll get back to my color image and you can see that we have what seems to be a decent.
Then selection at least for starting with .I'll go back to my Layers panel and now with my Macaque layer active, and with the selection in the image, I'll go ahead and click on the Add Layer Mask Button. The circle inside of a square icon at the bottom of the layers panel. And you can see that we have a very good starting point. A very good basic layer mask for this particular subject. So by using that dodging and burning technique on an alpha channel or on a layer mask itself, for that matter, we're able to greatly improve the result that we were able to achieve with a very tricky subject.

The 3 week diet plan is a scientific weight loss program that has been around for quite some time. If well implemented, this program can help one to lose up to 23 lbs of weight in a record 3 weeks. Brian Flatts is the originator of this incredible program. He has extensive knowledge in nutrition and experience as a physical trainer for many years. Using his plan, you can shake off the excess fat and put on muscle. The program involves both physical exercises (workouts) and good dieting to achieve the best results. Remember that your mind-set and the motivation to attain the best results are key to a successful 3-week program.
What is Involved in the 3 Week Diet Plan?
It is a guided dietary plan designed to help those looking to cut their stubborn fat by amending their diet. According to Brian, users of this program can lose up to 20 lbs of excess body weight in just 21 days. However, this strict dieting regimen can be easy to adapt to. The good news is that it does not take a lot of time from your busy schedule like the gym.
After a comprehensive research that took about 12 years, Brian, a renowned sports nutritionist and health coach, says that this scientific approach to weight loss can help you achieve that slimmer you that you have been waiting anxiously.
Getting Started with the 3-Week Diet System
Getting started with this program is not difficult. The first step to appreciate that you need to lose excess fat that makes you dislike your body size. You will need to enroll by paying a small fee online before downloading the manuals and other resources that will guide you throughout the journey to a leaner body. You will need to calculate your individual diet schedule. The next step will need to read all the four manuals to help you develop a workable nutrition and workout plan that suits you. You will need to start implementing the plan in a systematic manner as per the user guides.
The purpose of this special diet plan is to enable your body keep the already present fat for the generation of the energy that your body needs during metabolism. The next thing is to starve your body of additional fat. This will cause the existing fat to burn to energize the heart and the liver plus other key organs.
Is the Program Safe?
This three-week plan is safe and scientifically proven to guarantee a stress-free way of losing excess weight. Many people who used this plan have recorded positive results and have been able to lose between 10 to 20 lbs of excess weight. Brian Flatts has carefully designed this program into four phases of elaborate training. Here are the phases that you will need to accomplish.
Check out this video review:
Phase #1: Detoxification
This phase is designed for those who are disturbed by excess body fat. Users of the plan can go through the guides of this phase to lose a lot of weight. Many people who tried this phase lost up to 15 lbs at the end of the detox phase. This phase focuses on the liver as the critical organ concerned with pumping of fat. Brian recommends that a person should take lots of Vitamins A, C and D since they are good detoxifiers of the liver, they increase the sensitivity of insulin. These vitamins are also god at scaling up the fat burning process in the body. This diet plan recommends 17 types of vegetables and six protein sources. Those using this plan should follow the instructions of this phase for 7 days.
Phase #2: Fasting for 24 hrs
After successfully completing the detoxification phase, you will need to move to the next stage, which is fasting. This involves fasting from the last meal of the last day of phase 1 until dinner of the eighth day. This phase enables your body to burn fat. It also detoxifies the liver and other critical organs that facilitate the burning of excess fat. After the eighth day, you have the liberty to eat any meal that you like. However, the amount of carbohydrates you take must be within recommended levels.
Phase #3: Fat Fast
This phases starts on the 9th day and continues through up to the 11th day. It is meant to check the efficiency of the liver in burning fat stored in the belly and the hip area. After the second phase, your body naturally begins to yearn for fats a scenario that will cause your liver to start consuming fat for metabolic requirements such as to generate energy for the muscles.
Phase #4: Your Unique BMR
This is the last phase of the program and starts on the 12th day and continues for 9 days. During this phase, users can take in small amounts of calories depending on their BMR and weight loss goals. Here, you need to determine your BMR and the required calorie intake in order to achieve a lean look.
