we gotta give credit to corbin.
he is turning burks from a scrub into a all star in only one and a half season
Burks has been such a pleasant surprise recently. Suddenly, he's already a solid rotation player with potential to be so much more.
OK, I have to admit I suspected Corbin would sit Burks in order to give Hayward time. Now we suddenly have a logjam at the wing positions.
If Mo and Earl don't go down with injuries, Burks still is in Corbin's black hole. .....Figuratively, not literally.
LOL.. c'mon Bro.. Big Al with an All Stars performance tonight and you can't see the trees but the speck in your eyes???? COME ONNNNNN!!!!
Yep good game.
So surprised Burks is playing more now.
for the record i was.
burks has not been a suprise.
everyone except corbin knew what this kid could do.
the injury bug stepped in and gave burks some playing time and now youa re suprised.
if you where sarcastic forget i posted this
Burks is getting quality minutes at PG. With Hayward back, it seems like Carroll is the guy losing minutes, but next game it's possible Carroll will play and someone else will sit.
bored shiftless...
I don't see Burks doing anything now that he wasn't doing in the pre-season.
Burks is easily the best pick and roll guard this team has. Rewatching right now, the way he delivered it to Favs in the 2nd it was perfectly placed.
Just wait for Mo to come back. The bench will be his home again.

KISSUFIM CROSSING, Israel - Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops opened fire early Tuesday morning on a terror cell attempting to plant explosives along the security barrier near the Kissufim crossing with the Gaza Strip. At least one terrorist was killed.
A Givati Brigade unit backed by IDF helicopters advanced about 200 yards into the Strip.
Following the fire fight, Islamic Jihad reported that a member of its al-Quds Brigades was killed planting bombs to "stop the Israelis' advancement."
Palestinian sources said three other terrorists were injured, one critically. No IDF soldiers were hurt in the fighting.
Following the exchange of gunfire, soldiers continued to search the area to uncover any additional explosive devices the terror cell may have planted.
Last month, Golani Brigade deputy commander Maj. Eliraz Peretz and St.-Sgt. Major Ilan Sviatkovsky were killed in a similar incident along the Gaza border.
IDF units patrolling the border with the Gaza Strip remain on high alert for Palestinian terrorists attempting to plant bombs and infiltrate Israel.

Please take note that this is a review for only the first episode, so
things may change; but, I certainly hope that they don't.
Just finished watching the first episode. Seriously funny (and that is both an oxymoron and a wordplay)! Sooo good to see some great old-school comedy writing and not have all the characters operating in irony. The characters, so far, are not flat, but have rather three-dimensional qualities. It shows that well-meaning people aren't nice all the time, the strong have moments of weakness, vice versa, etc.
Basically, it shows that all anybody wants is to be treated with dignity and respect as a human being. And that some people overcompensate, while others do nothing to help.
Shout out to the actors for a great job and they are perfectly cast. And also the writers for giving them all equal-opportunity time with equal-opportunity funny.
I hope it continues to keep its level of combined sardonic humour and physicality.
Episode 1 rates a 9/10. The series will have to wait for it's rating, if ever
I gave the movie a six, not because it's a better than average movie
(if not by much), but because if you ignore all the clumsy, cheap, and
crude attempts at comedy, it's actually a pretty sweet story and quite
About twenty minutes into the movie, I thought to myself, "I bet the director also wrote the screenplay." And as the end credits started, boom, there it was: directed by, screenplay by. Granted, it is adapted from a French movie. But along with directors directing their own screenplays, English adaptations of French comedies are my biggest pet peeves. The comedy just does not translate; watch the original with subtitles. Please. And the list is endless: Jungle to Jungle, The Birdcage, Dinner for Schmucks, True Lies, Mixed Nuts, and more. Some may even end up being blockbusters, but it's like reading the 8th sheet under the carbon paper*, it's a very pale replica and you can barely make out the comedy, or the charm.
* For those who do not know what carbon paper is, it's a pre-historic method of making copies. Google it.
What I enjoyed about the movie is the following: the romance, the sweetness, the touching moments. There was an abundance, but ruined by a heavy, clumsy punch line every time.. I wish that one person had read the adapted screenplay and had mentioned that it wash't funny, at all.
The actors also made it easy to watch. All veterans, even the younger cast, they were each able to give heart to their characters. Beautifully acted.
So if you are one of those people who can separate the two, enjoy the storyline and ignore the comedy. Good luck to ya!
What a wonderful film:
Emotionally authentic, nimbly avoiding the sappiness and heavy-handedness of other similar stories, Any Day Now is a real diamond amongst the cubic zirconia world of Hollywood movies. The writing is lush and well-edited, shirking any extraneous bells and whistles; the characters are presented clearly and are captivating; the cinematography artful; and the direction gives breath to the actors and to the story.*
* One of my pet peeves has always been with a movie having the same writer/director. It usually means editing problems leading to a long-winded film that is more a self-indulgence than good story-telling. That is not the case here; a perfect exception.
It should also not go without saying that Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt give outstanding performances, as do Frances Fisher, Alan Rachins and Gregg Henry (the consummate 'weasel'). But, Isaac Leyva is the heart of this movie. He not only gives a brilliant, quiet performance, but also captures your heart, drawing you in with every blink, smile, and furrowing of brow. I can't say enough about him; he is AWESOME!
Also noteworthy is Mindy Sterling: what she does with her barley-two-minute role is proof positive that "there are no small parts,...". Brava!
Engaging, beautiful, sad, loving...especially the ending: very unexpected choice and brilliant not to fall into either the 'people-pleaser' trap of the Hollywood 'happy-', or the ambiguous 'don't know what's going to happen-' endings. The film takes an unapologetic stand against a flawed system and the empowered people who perpetuate its shortcomings. Doesn't always happen in real life, but, it's good to see when some people are shown the consequences of their small-minded actions (regardless of whether they stem from pettiness or ignorance, or if they were purposeful, or just easier).
A very human story.
PS One downside to the movie, probably shouldn't mention it, but it really has no bearing on how good this movie is, so, please ignore the gawd-awful wigs, really just terrible. OK, that's all I'm going to say.
There are some who compare the live TV production to the 1965 film;
others compare it to the original Broadway production. Although such
comparisons may be inevitable, I think that things should stand on
their own merits and deserve to be seen in their own light (I mean, no
disrespect intended to the extremely brave and wonderful Von Trapp
family, but has anyone compared them to the Broadway and/or Hollywood
version of themselves).
My impression of the 'live' production was that it was quite a Herculean task to pull off and they were certainly ambitious in their efforts. And, everyone involved should be applauded. However, when dealing with such a huge undertaking a subject matter, as well as such iconic roles, casting becomes a huge issue.
Yes, Carrie Underwood is a wonderful singer and can hit the high notes, and yes she is popular, but her acting is nowhere near up to snuff. I would go as far as to say she was wooden and lacked all of the charm the role needs. I'm not saying this to be malicious. It is only my impression of her in this particular role, not a criticism of her as a country-western performer, nor human being.
Yes, Stephen Moyer is handsome, dashing, and can carry a tune. But he does not have the charm, nor charisma of a Captain Von Trapp. He seemed lost and too concerned with hitting his marks.
And, who can ignore the enormous vocal talent that is Audra McDonald. But even she was far from believable as the Mother Superior. She seemed to be playing the role of a 'Grande-Dame of the Stage', dressed in a habit.
What it comes down to, for me only, is if a production has the combined chemistry of all of its parts to draw me in and make me care for the characters, feel their emotions, and invest in their outcome. For this group, I did not.
I may say 'A' for 'ambition', but a definite 'D' for 'dull'.

This is a lovely film that borrows a little from everything and
everywhere. It borrows from other films, directors, characters, other
eras, and even music. We have seen a little bit of this story in other
places, these same characters played by other actors, directed by other
directors. I like the fact that you cannot pinpoint the era in which
the story takes place. It is for this very same reason that I enjoyed
this version of this story. We have seen all the different
permutations, and for once, I like the fact that there is no
moralising, no long, drawn-out monologue, or proselytising. It was said
of Billy Wilder that he gave as much importance to what wasn't written
on the page. It holds true here.
We glimpse the non-judgmental nature of an innocent who knows nothing of sex and sexual love, therefore she isn't shocked by two men sleeping in the same bed. We witness the Mother Superior's fervent faith that this is her calling, to raise a child in perfect purity. We see that this child is the one chance for the Sisters to know the love of a daughter. We find love in humankind, sibling or other, that exists. We observe the evolution of how a simple, though some may argue necessary, lie can unravel and destroy. And we see what real, true, pure unadulterated love can mend, and help flourish.
It touched my cynical-yet-idealistic heart.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I hope you get to read this after, or instead of, the other reviews.
Firstly, I do respect every person's personal point of view. What we
take away from a film is subjective and a reflection of our own
This is supposed to be a true story, and I don't doubt it.
A brother and sister are forced by kidnappers to do, what in my mind, is probably one of the most traumatic things imaginable, have sex with each other. The emotional trauma is unfathomable on many levels. Put yourself in one of their shoes and think about how you would feel, and how you might have reacted in that situation.
What is successful about the movie is the realism with which the incident is filmed: there is no soundtrack of ominous musical creepiness. And then, how the shame, fear, "lost-ness", sadness, depression, and emptiness that follows are portrayed. As victims, how do they cope with all of that at once? They certainly can't look each other in the eye after such a horrific experience. Nor can they tell their parents. She is older and gets herself to a therapist. He is much younger and flounders, even as she tries to have him accompany her to sessions. Even when things seem to get better for one, the other's hurt manifests itself in tragic ways.
There is none of the anger and object-throwing that would be seen in a Hollywood-type movie. None of the melodrama of a Lifetime movie. What there is in the movie is the beauty of the director's quietness, and the restrained acting ability. This allows the feeling of horror, and the anguish that follows to permeate us, as it does the victims. Every emotion is legible on their faces.
This is not an easy movie, by any means. It is not meant as 'life's-horror-story" entertainment. It is a reality that seems very far away from our own, but, with a little bit of empathy, can be deeply felt.
Not for everyone, but definitely worth seeing.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Interesting concept for the plot, but mired in screenplay editing and,
surprisingly, some weak acting.
Not sure if I'm spoiling anything, but:
The movie starts with the author at the reading of his book. The plot of his book is that another author steals the work of an unknown writer, becoming famous, and then meeting an older gentleman (the actual writer). Lots of rich soil to harvest many, many themes from, both moral and psychological.
Sounds great, but...I'm not quite sure if it's the writing, the directing, the screenplay editing, the movie editing, or a combination of all of these, but this is not the best opus from a group of seriously good, if not great, actors. It seemed that the first forty minutes was just a warm-up, because the acting was far superior in the second half of the movie.
Normally, Bradley Cooper is wonderful at playing the small stuff that makes a person humanly interesting. Not here. Dennis Quaid, at the reading of his own novel, is monotone; not very engaging when you're trying to sell a story (both his book & this movie). Even Jeremy Irons, an acting icon, doesn't deliver in the beginning. An example that may be a bit cliché, but it's about facial expression: you know when film characters reminisce, they look off into the distance as if they are peering deeply into the rich haze of their past? Here he seems like he's just looking at something across the way. But, like I said, much improved in the second half.
Zoe Saldana is charming; strong, yet vulnerable. But the real kudos go to Ben Barnes (Jeremy Irons's character as a young man) and Nora Arnezeder. During these segments the movie shines. Beautifully acted as well as filmed. A story you can sink your teeth into: meaty; one that moves you. This is the story stolen by Cooper's character. But then when the movie cuts back to Quaid and his audience, or to Irons and Cooper, the story doesn't seem to have registered with them at all; at least not until much later.
And the writing has something to do with it. When a movie plot hinges around characters that are writers, the screenplay better be damn good. This one hits with World War II-era Paris, but misses with modern New York. The lovely Olivia Wilde is an example. And her character is supposed to be lovely, and smart, and seductive. But here she comes off as a little creepy; a little stalker-ish.
There is another difference between the flashbacks and the present. The flashback characters have less proselytising. Back in the present, when every little thing that your character is feeling, thinking, or learning, is spoken out loud, it almost seems unnecessary to show emotion and thought through facial expressions, body language, gestures, or looks.
There are definitely exceptions, and this an excellent effort. But it takes a lot to balance the passion of directing your own writing with the distance needed to tell a story successfully. And it usually lies with the trimming of the fat. That's why authors need editors.
Again, a potentially great concept, but with okay delivery.
Firstly, I'd like to get this out of the way: If you have not watched a
movie in its entirety, you have no business reviewing it. That would be
like listening to the first note of a song, or reading the first line
of a book and panning it. Shame.
Now, on to the business of reviewing. While not the best movie in the world, it is certainly far from being the worst. There will always be something for someone to criticise, but for the most part, this movie is funny, sad, maddening, sappy in parts, and even hits a few sore spots. This is all good in my book. If seeing the real truth about yourself, or someone else, for the first time doesn't initially make you at least a little angry, then...
Not all film is supposed to be a masterpiece of cinema. Some are just there to entertain us a bit and, if possible, to help us along the way. This may just be one of those.
The premise is okay, just an excuse to get a group of people together. The story you can read about in the plot synopsis. The acting is quite good, considering that coming off as an every-day person in a movie is a lot harder than it seems. And I was happy to see some of my favourites: Missi Pyle, Melissa McCarthy, Octavia Spencer (all of whose talents are abundant), Larry Sullivan (adorable and hot at the same time, not easy for a real actor), William Sanderson (that's the way he speaks; nice to see someone not try to botch a local accent). Also noteworthy were Philip Littell (as the repressed, judgmental Richard) and Phil Lewis (whose Raye gives Wayne Brady a run for his money as the "whitest black guy").
All in all, much better than most of the drivel out there that people actually pay to see. Quite a few belly laughs and some intimate moments, different for each, that may ignite a spark.

Yet another visually breathtaking film by Tarsem Singh (The Cell; The
Fall). A stunning array of sets and lavish costumes. But, where the
scripts were engaging for the latter two movies, Mirror, Mirror is
It is a re-telling of the Snow White fairy tale from the evil stepmother's perspective, with some amusing changes. Unfortunately, the actual script is weak and relies on semi-farcical slapstick for humour and interest. Part of the weakness lies in the fact that by exploring the human side of the step-mom in order to show us that evil is in all of us and that it can be a result of the choices we make, the 'oomph' is lost.
Another weakness is Julia Roberts. Although she can be charming, as she was in her other "Stepmom" portrayal, she does not have the acting chops for such a complex character (demonstrated by, amongst other things, the fact that she cannot decide what accent the character should speak in: English, American, 1930's & 40's screen queen, etc.).
Nathan Lane is Nathan Lane. Lily Collins is sweet. The interesting characters end up being the new "seven dwarfs".
All in all, an okay story, sometimes entertaining, and a treat for the visual imagination.
Take Bring It On, Glee (not in the icky cheesy way, but because there's
singing involved, the good kind), Mean Girls, and add some
quick-witted, sharp-tongued dialogue and commentary, and you have the
funniest of movies.
At first I was leery: a movie about A Cappella singing groups; I thought at best, it would be a teen flick. Yes, I know, Anna Kendrick. But bigger (some better) names have made some doozies. But, I was unbelievably surprised. Every kind of humour is covered here, and done to absolute perfection. You will be adopting many, many of the lines into your daily lexicon.
For me, Rebel Wilson (as Fat Amy) and Elizabeth Banks (as Gail, the commentator) have some of the most hysterically smart lines ever committed to celluloid (right up there with Young Frankenstein).
Loved it.

MUSC Children's Hospital has received a $1 million investment from Boeing to expand existing programs promoting healthy living among children and families.
The Boeing Center for Promotion of Healthy Lifestyles in Children and Families will be housed and managed from the hospital, but its activities will take place in local schools and other sites throughout the community.
The center will encompass two of the Medical University of South Carolina's obesity prevention and treatment programs: the Lean Team and Heart Health. The Lean Team is a partnership between MUSC and Charleston County School District to prevent and treat childhood obesity, and Heart Health is the pediatric weight-management program for MUSC Children's Hospital and the preventive cardiology service of the Children's Heart Center.
Boeing's investment will enable both programs to expand under the center's umbrella and reach more students and families. It's estimated that 8,000 children and their families will be served directly, but all of the district's 43,000 students and 5,500 employees will benefit from forthcoming changes.
"Children are our future and by making this investment, Boeing is helping to shape a healthier South Carolina," MUSC President Ray Greenberg said in a statement. "We need to instill healthy lifestyle practices at the youngest possible ages in order to prevent the development of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and other illnesses down the road."
Childhood obesity is rampant in South Carolina. More than one-third of high school students are obese or overweight, and a separate MUSC study found that 43 percent of children and 67 percent of adults in Charleston County schools were either overweight or obese.
The Lean Team and Heart Health programs will split the money over the next two years, and the majority of the funds will pay for staff. The Lean Team will hire two nutritionists, a fitness trainer and a coordinator who also will oversee the Heart Health program.
The team already is trying to recruit a physician to voluntarily adopt every school, and the new hires will work with each site to create customized exercise and nutrition programs. The nutritionists also will work with district officials to make school lunches healthier.
The Heart Health program will hire a fitness trainer and dietician, as well as physicians who will work with families to improve their diets and lifestyles to manage their weight and improve cardiovascular risk factors. That will include one-on-one counseling as well as group education sessions.
Phil Saul, medical director of MUSC Children's Hospital, helped craft the proposal to create the Boeing Center. He said neither MUSC program could be expanded or fully implemented without this funding. His hope is that by having fully staffed and operational programs, the center will be able to monitor outcomes to show the model works. That information would be used to apply for other grants to help sustain those programs, he said.
"We hope the programs' success will make it a model for addressing childhood obesity and promoting wellness statewide and nationally," Saul said.

The National Teacher Research Panel was set up about 15 years ago by CUREE supported by a group of national education agencies most of which no longer exist. It had three main goals:
Over the several years of its existence, the Panel, supported by its expert advisers in CUREE, has helped and encouraged dozens of teachers and school leaders to do high quality but practical research. The Panel also helped them report their findings succinctly, in plain English and focused on relevance to other practitioners. The results of that work can be found on this website.With the advent of the Coalition Government of 2010 and ever since, those support agencies have been dismantled and government funding withdrawn. The Panel no longer meets but CUREE has maintained the legacy of its work on this website. It is the nature of research that it usually has a pretty long shelf life so a large fraction of the material here remains useful and valide especially in the international context where most other jurisdictions (certainly in Europe are only now waking up to the value of practitioner focused research. Much of the teacher originated but high quality research reported here remains unique You can also use this site as a link to research resources located elsewhere.

By The Associated Press
CORINTH — A Louisiana company has been awarded a $16.9 million contract to renovate and update the Corinth wastewater treatment plant.
City officials tell the Daily Corinthian that work is tentatively set to begin June 4.
The winner bidder is Max Foote Construction of Mandeville, La.
An upgrade to the 25-year-old plant has been discussed for a number of years.
Funding for the project will come from the state revolving fund loan program and a sewer rate increase to be considered by the board. Specifics of the rate adjustment are yet to be determined.
Officials say the plant's capacity will increase from 4.7 million gallons to 6 million gallons daily.
The city is required to have the upgraded plant in operation in 2013. Construction is expected to take about 20 months.

I've been posting a lot of comparison posts lately, I know. lol. I am just wanting to make sure I won't regret whatever I decide to purchase. I had never heard of Alva baby diapers until my last comparison post (Kawaii vs Sunbabies). But now that I've checked them out, I'm really curious because they're even less expensive than Kawaii. Soooo... Alva baby -- good or bad? And if you have both Kawaii and Alvas, are the Alvas comparable to the Kawaii? We've been really happy with our Kawaii so far, but I'm always open to saving money whenever possible if quality is similar.
Kawaii vs Alva baby (last one, I swear!)
I've got both - have 8 kawaiis and 10 alvas (bought in on the alva frenzy about 6 weeks ago!). I generally prefer the kawaiis, but they're pretty similar in build and style. The kawaiis just seem a little sturdier.
The alvas seem quite cheap - most of the ones I got are "minky" but it's super-thin, super-cheap minky... you can see lines in the tufting like with cheap stuffed animals, if that makes any sense? However, they've softened a bit with washing, and they are very cute prints, and seem to hold up well to use so far. I try not to put them on her when she's gearing up for a poo if I can help it, but she's settled into an every-other-day EBF poop pattern, so when she goes, she GOES. We haven't had a leak, but the few poops she's had in them tend to be right up to the edge, even into the elastic line itself, while our BG and Kawaii diapers tend to have a better poo-free margin.
As far as cheap diapers go, I like both brands, but will probably stick with Kawaiis, though I'm wondering if "new" Kawaiis will be the same quality when restocked. I definitely prefer the suedecloth versions of both - I received some fleece lined alvas and some kawaiis... they work, but tend to be very pilly/nubby and leave bumpy marks on DD's skin, unlike other microfleece diapers.
ETA: Side note - Sunbabies didn't work for us at all. I wanted to like them, but they leaked like mad - alvas and kawaiis are built very similarly, so if you like the fit of kawaii, you'll probably do well with alva. They definitely seem to be made by the same factory.
Bri, mom to DD 10/26/10 (CS), DS 3/9/13 (VBAC), DD 4/22/15 (HBAC)
Thanks! That was super helpful. I decided against trying Sunbabies, because I keep reading that they're leakers and that they run on the smaller side. It's too bad, really. Sunbabies prints are SO CUTE.
I'm getting sick of waiting for Kawaii to restock. I want to get some of the blue label bamboo solids... I don't have any bamboo diapers yet, but I like how trim they are and would like to add a bamboo insert to my already double-stuffed diapers at night. DS has been leaking an hour or two before he gets up in the morning. I was hoping the bamboo would fix the problem. I also want to see what new minky prints they get before I order. Booo for taking so long on restock!
Because the Alvas are only $5 though, I may order a few anyway. It's not like I'm going to go broke if I hate them.
IMHO, I'd buy something made in the USA instead of China.

If you can point me to something isn't going to cost $15+ bucks, I'd be happy to consider it. But much of my reason for using cloth is because we need to be on a super strict budget for me to be a SAHM, so many of the diapers out there are not an option for us.
I will warn you, I've found the Kawaii bamboos to be less absorptive than microfiber - it holds better than straight cotton, but I have to double-stuff my Kawaii bamboos in order to get something roughly equivalent to a single microfiber insert. I still use them because they're SO soft, but LO ends up kind of bubble-butted with the doubled bamboo - with just one bamboo insert, they only last about an hour before we have pee leaks.
I've definitely developed the hemp love for overnight - one microfiber and one joeybunz hemp insert and we're good for 10-12 hours! They're pricey but we only need 3 and they work so well!
Bri, mom to DD 10/26/10 (CS), DS 3/9/13 (VBAC), DD 4/22/15 (HBAC)
Where do you get your hemp from? Maybe I'll get like 3 hemp inserts for overnights and skip the bamboo. It's not worth the extra money if they leak.
My Kawaii's were horrible. They must've had defective snaps or something, because everytime my DD moved, the diapers unsnapped themselves. I had like 4 or so of them and they ALL did this! I decided you get what you pay for with cheap diapers, and threw them out. Although no one else I've talked to had this problem. But I feel like it was such a waste, I'd rather pay more and get better diapers.
Momma to 5 Girls and 1 Toddler Boy!
By the way, you mentioned budget, if you really can't afford a more expensive pocket diaper, there are always prefolds and covers. They work awesome, MUCH nicer than the cheap pockets, I tried! And they are quite affordable!
Momma to 5 Girls and 1 Toddler Boy!
I bought one Alva baby to check out, bu the baby won't be here unitl July so I can't tell you how well it holds up. I was impressed by the constuction and materials but who knows.
It was free shipping, so I only paid $5.95. If time isn't an issue you could order one or two alvas to test out before making a larger order.
I also wanted to buy American diapers, but when I bought some econobums the tag said made in Pakistan, and then I found out that most of the bigger cloth diapers companies are manufactured in Asia. The only way to guarantee that your diapers are made in America is to buy wahm diapers, which I will do but they are more expensive than I can do for the entire stash.
I think Nubunz / Sweet Doll Baby Diapers are made in the US. I haven't tried them though so I can't speak for the quality.
My sunbabies were great but my guy is huge. Leaks were not an issue but size was - he is 25 lbs now at 15mos and I was on next to last setting and couldn't do the hip snaps without leaving marks. I bought the 4.0's in Dec. 10 - heard the '11 dipes have looser elastic.
I have kawaii's 1 regular and 3 heavy wetters. They are great. The snaps are kind of tight to get undone compared to my Fuzzi Bunz - no snap issues there. Can't wait until they restock.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Browal from A good laugh Good open world and easy to learn. Doesn't have lots of hours of game play and lacks a story somewhat. Can all be very similar in parts as it is the same objectives over and over. But good fun to be an almost indestructible super human

Using set operations to deal with the frame problem
Ma, Jixin and Knight, Brian (2006) Using set operations to deal with the frame problem. In: Yao, Yiyu, (ed.) Proceedings of the Fifth IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Informatics. IEEE Computer Society, Los Alamitos, CA, USA, pp. 447-452. ISBN 1424404754 (doi:10.1109/COGINF.2006.365530)Full text not available from this repository.
This paper presents a simple approach to the so-called frame problem based on some ordinary set operations, which does not require non-monotonic reasoning. Following the notion of the situation calculus, we shall represent a state of the world as a set of fluents, where a fluent is simply a Boolean-valued property whose truth-value is dependent on the time. High-level causal laws are characterised in terms of relationships between actions and the involved world states. An effect completion axiom is imposed on each causal law, which guarantees that all the fluents that can be affected by the performance of the corresponding action are always totally governed. It is shown that, compared with other techniques, such a set operation based approach provides a simpler and more effective treatment to the frame problem.

Monster Buck Bagged End of 2010-11 Oklahoma Season
Wade Ward is very thankful that Oklahoma's season got an extension to January 15th, and that they allowed crossbows. He had seen a monster buck on his trail camera for the past two years, but never out while hunting; until January 11, 2011. It was around 5 degrees out, with snow spitting. Ward had borrowed his wife's crossbow, as it was easier to use in such miserable weather. Ward was on his land in Rogers County, Oklahoma. It was dusk, and the deer came to the corn feeder, that Ward supplements with Buck Blitz. One shot, and Ward got a trophy buck.
If approved, it would be the biggest typical buck ever killed during the archery season in Oklahoma and the third-largest typical ever. The typical 14-point buck grossed 196 6/8 and netted 188 4/8 after deductions. Ward has submitted the buck to Boone & Crockett and to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Cy Curtis program, the state's record keeper for trophy bucks. Ward said he would've never known the buck existed had it not been for his trail cams. The buck had been around for awhile, but no one had reported seeing it. Nearby at Blue Creek Park a huge shed was found though. Oklahoma's 2011-12 archery season just started on October 1st, good luck to all the hunters. From NewsOK.com.

Now that's a beautiful buck
Submitted by hunter25 on Fri, 2011-10-07 17:47.
Now that's a beautiful buck from a surprise location. I know Oklahoma has some good deer hunting but it's not the place that I think of when potential world class deer are being talked about. I hunted there once about 10 years ago but was never able to get a chance at one at all let alone anything of record book quality. The great thing as well for this guy was that he was able to kill him on his own property. I bet there's some offspring running around that may give him some more chances in the years to come that could rival this one.
Congratulations on a buck of a lifetime.
Wow that is a buck of ten
Submitted by GooseHunter Jr on Wed, 2011-10-05 23:31.
Wow that is a buck of ten lifetimes. I do not think anybody on the forum or on TV would pass on a deer like that. I myself would have trouble shooting it though....just to big....I would be shaking so much I do not think I would be able to draw the bow back or get the scope on him. Definely a buck that would make a great addition to any household. Congrats to hunter for a great trophy.
Wow!! That truely is on heck
Submitted by numbnutz on Wed, 2011-10-05 17:59.
Wow!! That truely is on heck of a buck and one that I wouldn't hesitate to fling an arrow at or bullet for that matter. A big congradulations is in order to Wade for harvesting this majestic animal. Also for being able to hold the crossbow steady enough to get a shot off. If it was me I'd probably be shaking to hard to even draw my bow back on this thing. Did I read that right on largest typical with a bow and third largest all time? I too wonder if since shot with a crossbow if it qualifies for Pope and Young or Boone and crocket only? Seems like OK has been putting out some nice animals the past few years. In my Eastman's magazine there was a picture and story of a nice Elk that came out of there too. If there wasn't so much private land and it wasn't so hard for a non-res to get a tag I would try it out.
Now that's a buck
Submitted by COMeatHunter on Wed, 2011-10-05 11:46.
Absolutely beautiful rack! The symetry is almost perfect, expecially when you consider how big it really is. Definitely a once in a lifetime deer there.
Since he shot it with a cross bow, is he still able to submit to Pope & Young as well, or only to Boone & Crockett?
Well, I think I might have
Submitted by Ca_Vermonster on Wed, 2011-10-05 10:26.
Well, I think I might have passed on that one and waited for something bigger.....
Holy cow, that's a huge buck! I think I would have "passed", only because I would be shaking too much to actually raise the gun, bow, or whatever I was using. That is truly one impressive animal. Fun to see someone who has watched an animal over a couple of years, get to harvest that same animal. It sort of validates all the hard work he put in to it.
And I agree, the wife may have a hard time getting her crossbow back after the husband shot a deer like this. Very nice!!!!
Submitted by Retired2hunt on Wed, 2011-10-05 09:36.
That is one heck of a BEAST! An excellent buck you got there Wade - Great Job! That is one beautiful mount too.
To see this monster on a trail cam picture would drive me to be out there every day during season in hopes to harvest it. However, I need to buy the property first before I run out and buy a trail cam.
The article also sounded like a little advertisement for Buck Blitz. I went to the web site. Wade's picture of him and his buck is the 3rd one within the web site gallery. For $15 plus another $15 for shipping you can get yourself a 15 pound bag! Hurry while supplies last!
Last thing here - I am all for using crossbows and am glad Wade was able to use his wife's in order to bag this trophy. Now after this his wife will never get to use her own crossbow! Unless he now goes out and buys himself one!
Wow, 3rd largest typical
Submitted by ndemiter on Wed, 2011-10-05 09:11.
Wow, 3rd largest typical ever! that truly is the buck of a lifetime, and we all won't be that lucky, that i can for sure (unless toxic waste spills into the major river systems forcing a bruce banner- the "hulk" like transformation in deer genetics)
I'm actually surprised to see that it came out of oklahoma, it seems like oklahoma has been a sleeper state for big whitetails lately. maybe some of the texas genes are mixing with the kansas genes so they're producing larger bodies with larger racks? i will have to keep an eye on oklahoma, since it's right next door anyways.
it's a really good looking rack, though, with one heck of a spread. it's allmost comically large for the whitetail head in my opinion!
Wow what a great trophy!
Submitted by SGM on Wed, 2011-10-05 01:39.
Wow what a great trophy! Congratulation to Wade on a buck of a lifetime. Very symmetrical healthy looking animal for sure. I am sure any hunter would be proud to have that bad boy hanging in the house.

The two series of Tales of Fashionable Life (1809-12) are representative of the most ambitious project of Maria Edgeworth's literary career, and one which was underway from as early as 1802 when she first began to sketch "Almeria". In his preface to the 1809 series of the tales, Richard Lovell Edgeworth declared that it was his daughter's aim "to promote, by all her writings, the progress of education, from the cradle to the grave", and that the present and envisaged volumes of the series were "intended to point out some of those errors, to which the higher classes of society are disposed" (1: iii-iv). The seriousness with which his daughter viewed this project, he remarked, was to be discerned from "The dates …

UGA Police Chief Jimmy Williamson told WAGA-TV on Thursday that investigators busted a distribution ring that's responsible for more than 1,000 fake ID cards.
He said police have the names and information of students who paid $70 to $100 apiece on confiscated hard drives and he's urging them to turn over the phony cards and fill out a statement to avoid charges.
Williamson said police have already started calling the customers to notify them of the bust. He said arrests of the people who led the distribution ring are forthcoming.

Michael Cohn Pleads Not Guilty to Murdering Wife in Their Scottsdale Home
Michael Cohn, the 61-year-old Scottsdale resident accused of murdering his wife Linda inside their North Scottsdale home on March 27, has pleaded not guilty.
Of course, that's just his plea. Cohn told a 911 dispatcher that day, "I just killed my wife."

We posted the audio of that call a few days ago (you can also find it below), as Cohn seemed extremely calm after he'd just killed his wife of more than 26 years.

The operator asked whether paramedics could come into the house, near Bell Road and Thompson Peak Parkway, to treat his wife, but Cohn said it was "too late."
Cohn repeatedly was asked what had happened, but he said nothing for a while.
Eventually, he replied, "I strangled her."
Again, Cohn was asked whether his wife needed paramedics and, again, Cohn said it was too late.
The dispatcher was persistent, asking whether Cohn was sure, and whether paramedics could go in the home.
Cohn replied, "You can try."
The dispatcher asked Cohn whether he would give his wife CPR if they gave him instructions on how to do it, and he just said that her tongue was hanging out of her mouth.
By the time officers arrived, Cohn simply opened the front door and was detained.
Cohn, who had blood on his shirt, told police "that he had strangled his wife with his bare hands and that she had been dead for about an hour," according to court documents previously obtained by New Times.
Officers found Linda dead on the floor in a bathroom, but she was still warm to the touch. Linda's neck was discolored and blood was dripping from her nose and right eye.
Linda was a psychologist in Scottsdale, and Michael used to be a licensed psychologist, too.
The only person we spoke to who was counseled by Michael said she saw him about two decades ago, so it's not clear how long he's been out of the business.
With Cohn's not-guilty plea to a charge of first-degree murder, his next court date is scheduled for May 29.

This review is from: S110G Super Mini Gyro RC Remote Control Helicopter
Pros: Cheap, simple design and easy to fly. Charges fast, and is a ton of fun at the office. People come to my desk just to fly this little guy around for a bit. The controls are fairly responsive too.
Cons: Battery life on the helicopter is abysmal. It is supposed to last for around 7 minutes, but it really feels more like 2 to 3 if you don't take any breaks. Seems like they could improve this a good deal by slapping some slightly larger capacitors on it.
Also, the construction is very flimsy. After only owning it for 2 weeks I had one of the metal struts FALL off during flight. This piece holds the tail on...luckily there are two! It flies funny now, but we still make it work.
Other Thoughts: If it were not for the piece falling off of it, after very little abuse, I would give this 4 eggs. It is a fun toy, and is good for hours of laughs at the office. Great for flying over people's cubes! Unfortunately the cheap construction does mean it won't last too long.READ FULL REVIEW

"She designs with force, without making any concessions, and that's what interests me — even if at times it can be a bit difficult"
- Michel Roset, co-owner of Ligne Roset.
France's hottest designer Inga Sempé (b. 1968), graduated from l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI) in Paris in 1993 at the age of 25. She also won a scholarship for a year's studies at the French Academy in Rome (Villa Medici). She achieved a complete breakthrough at the Milan Furniture Fair, where her wilful Brosse shelf was shown. The shelf, which has 'curtains' made of bristles from sweeping brushes, was displayed in Edra's showroom and attracted a lot of attention. Since then, Sempé has been a hot name in the design media throughout Europe. Her first exhibition was held last summer at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Inga Sempé has worked with George Sowden (1989), Marc Newson (1994) and Andrée Putman (1997-99).

Having worked for Charles and Ray Eames and Hans and Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia garnered icon status as a designer when he created the Bertoia Collection for Knoll in 1952. Italian-born, Bertoia utilized his superior skills as a sculptor to bend and shape industrial wire rods into chairs that would become pinnacles of twentieth century furniture design. Now considered modern classics, the collection was so commercially successful that it allowed Bertoia to dedicate himself exclusively to his main artistic passion: sculpting.
Biography: Harry Bertoia
Hans J. Wegner (1914 – 2007).
Born in 1914: Tønder, Denmark where he completed his early education and was trained as a cabinet maker. In 1936, at the age of 22 he attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, returning later as a tutor.
He worked as an assistant to Erik Møller and Arne Jacobsen until 1943, helping on their design for the Århus Town Hall, and adding some of his own furniture. In 1943 he opened his own office and came out with the Chinese chair which, along with his 1949 "Round" chair would provide the basis for many of his later chairs.
Interiors magazine, in America, put the Round chair on the cover in 1950 and called it 'the world's most beautiful chair,' catapulting Wegner into international fame and sparking a profitable export market. It became known simply as,The Chair and began making high profile appearances like the televised 1961 presidential debates between Nixon and Kennedy. Of the design Wegner said, "many foreigners have asked me how we made the Danish style. And I've answered that it…was rather a continuous process of purification, and for me of simplification, to cut down to the simplest possible elements of four legs, a seat and combined top rail and arm rest."
Inspired by classical portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming chairs, Wegner created series of chairs that helped establish Denmark as an international leader of modern design. Of this seies the Wishbone Chair is widely considered to be his most successful design.
In the early 1960s he came out with several variations on the Bull chair which came with or without horns, and was a fine example of the line Wegner could masterfully walk between elegance and playfulness. "We must take care," he once said, "that everything doesn't get so dreadfully serious. We must play – but we must play seriously."

One of the most versatile and unconventional designers from the second half of the century, Gaetano Pesce has been expanding the notions and structures of Italian New Design throughout his entire career. He studied architecture and industrial design in Venice from 1959-1965, and went on to produce continually vibrant and radical work in painting, sculpture, film, theater, design and architecture.
In 1972 at the MoMA's exhibition, "Italy: the New Domestic Landscape" Pesce was represented by his "Moloch" lamp. This design was an enormous reproduction of the popular swing-arm "Luxo" lamp. Some of his other important works include the elegant 1986 lamp series, including the "Airport," "Square" and "Bastone" standing and wall-mounted lamps. His melted plastic "Samson and Delilah" chairs and tables (1980) are representative of his attempt to design "objects that have a propensity or an aptitude for meaning." His furniture was produced by several of the major international names in design production including B & B Italia, Knoll, Cassina and Vitra.

From mobile phones and restaurants, to a private jet and Ford concept car, Marc Newson has executed a range of projects in the past twenty years that most designers barely dream of. Born in Sydney in 1963, Newson spent his childhood in Europe and Asia before studying jewellery and sculpture at Sydney College of the Arts. After graduating in 1984, he lived on government grants while designing sculptural furniture and making it himself. His breakthrough came in 1986 when Newson exhibited the Lockheed Lounge, an elegant aluminium version of an 18th century chaise longue. The Lockheed Lounge became a media sensation and now commands hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction.

Portrait, from Playboy
Born in Finland in 1910, Eero Saarinen was the son of Eliel Saarinen, a noted and respected architect. His mother, Loja Saarinen, was a gifted sculptor, weaver, photographer, and architectural model maker. Eero was taught that each object should be designed in its "next largest context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, environment in a city plan."
Eero Saarinen produced a series of masterpieces of breathtaking individuality, including the 630-foot-tall, stainless steel St. Louis Gateway Arch and the TWA Terminal at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.
The underside of typical chairs and tables makes a confusing, unrestful world," said Saarinen. "I wanted to clear up the slum of legs." Thus in 1957 Saarinen unveiled his groundbreaking collection of pedestal coffee, dining and side tables for Knoll, whose simple elegance has endured for over 50 years.

Girard managed to inject an uninhibited use of color and a clever playfulness into the industry. He turned to countries like Mexico and India where a handicraft, or folk art, tradition still thrived, he developed a new method of coloring and patterning that proved to be a vibrant counterpoint to American modernist furniture.
Danish architect Finn Juhl (1912–1989) is regarded as one of the greatest furniture designers of the 20th century. He was a pioneer figure within Danish furniture design and the Danish Modern movement, along with Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Poul Kjærholm, and Børge Mogensen.
The house, now open to the public was designed and built by Finn Juhl as a young architect in 1942, is a unique example of Danish modernism for both architecture, furniture design and the visual arts.

Emerging in the 1960s, he was part of a generation of artists who worked to redefine what sculpture could be. After experimenting with a variety of materials, he settled on thick sheets of steel as his preferred material, and went on to create some of the most frightening spaces imaginable. His prints are just as 'impressive'.

Zakaria on putting antiterrorism above politics
The danger is less that a state will sponsor a terror group and more that a terror group will sponsor a state—as happened in Afghanistan Zakaria: Stepping away from the partisan screaming going on these days, the 9/11 commission hearings and—far more revealing—the panel's staff reports paint a fascinating picture of the rise of a new phenomenon in global politics: terrorism that is not state-sponsored but society-sponsored. Few in the American government fully grasped that a group of people without a state's support could pose a mortal threat. The mistake looks obvious in hindsight, but was, sadly, understandable at the time of 9/11. What is less understandable is that this same error persists even today.
