If VOIP is such a great thing, why isn't everybody using it? Well, for starters the bandwagon is crowded—there are lots of VOIP broadband phone providers out there. The other thing is there are some drawbacks to VOIP.
For instance, during power outages, you'll have no Internet connection, and therefore, no phone service. In other words, no power, no phone.
So if the downsides are so well known, the real question is, what are all these hundreds of VOIP phone companies doing about them?
VOIP Advantages
First, we have an expectation that VOIP has many advantages over regular phone service.
Low cost. If you have a broadband Internet connection (DSL or cable), you can make PC-to-PC phone calls anywhere in the world for free. If you wish to make a PC-to-phone connection, there's usually a charge for this but probably much cheaper than your regular phone service.
You can pay as you go or you can sign up with a VOIP service provider and pay a monthly fee in return for unlimited calls within a certain geographic area. For example, some VOIP services in the United States allow you to call anywhere in North America at no extra charge. Overseas calls are charged at a relatively small rate.
Portability. You can take your cheap phone service with you and make and receive phone calls wherever there is a broadband connection simply by signing in to your VOIP account. This makes VOIP as convenient as e-mail.
If you are traveling, simply pack a headset and use your laptop plugged into the Internet, or plug a VOIP phone directly into the Internet connection and you can talk to your family or business associates for almost nothing. If you don't have a VOIP phone, use an analog terminal adaptor (ATA) to connect a regular phone to the Internet. Today you can find ATAs that small, portable and inexpensive. A great idea for frequent travelers.
Phone-to-phone VOIP is also portable. When you sign up with a VoIP service provider the Internet phone or adaptor that is used with that service is assigned a unique number. This 'phone number' remains valid even if your VoIP service is in Cleveland and you are connected to the Internet in Bangkok. An Internet phone is small and light enough to take with you anywhere. Simply plug it into a broadband connection anywhere in the world and you can make and receive calls just as though you were in your own home or office.
Features. Unlike regular phone service which usually charges more for extra features, VOIP comes with a host of advanced communication features. For example, call forwarding, call waiting, voicemail, caller ID and three-way calling are some of the many services included with VOIP telephone service at no extra charge. You can also send data such as pictures and documents at the same time you are talking on the phone.
VOIP Disadvantages
If VOIP is starting to sound really good to you, make sure you understand the following downsides as well.
No service during a power outage. During a blackout a regular phone is kept in service by the current supplied through the phone line. This is not possible with IP phones, so when the power goes out, there is no VOIP phone service. One solution to this problem is to use battery backups or power generators to provide electricity.
If you decide to continue subscribing to a regular phone line as an emergency backup, consider that monthly cost cuts into your overall VOIP savings. However, VOIP would still make sense in this case if your home or business made significant long distance calls.
Emergency 911 calls. Another major concern with VOIP involves emergency 911 calls. Traditional phone equipment can trace your location. Emergency calls are diverted to the nearest call center where the operator can see your location in case you can't talk. However, because a voice-over-IP call is essentially a transfer of data between two IP addresses, not physical addresses, with VOIP there is currently no way to determine where your VOIP phone call is originating from.
To solve this issue, the E911 standard by law mandates that VOIP service providers pass name and address information to the nearest Public Safety Access Point (PSAP) when 911 is dialed. Not all PSAPs in the country support E911 yet, so you should ask when deciding on a VOIP service provider, if E911 is supported in your area.
Reliability. Because VOIP relies on an Internet connection, your VOIP service will be affected by the quality and reliability of your broadband Internet service and sometimes by the limitations of your PC. Poor Internet connections and congestion can result in garbled or distorted voice quality. If you are using your computer at the same time as making a computer VOIP call, you may find that voice quality deteriorates dramatically.
Bad or unreliable internet connections can result in poor voice quality, such as clipping, voice delay, or dropped calls. And emergency 911 service may not work as you expect.
For example, you can expect to save significantly on long distance charges. And, if you are happy to make and receive calls on your computer, you won't likely have to pay a cent beyond the cost of your regular Internet connection.

According to TMZ Russell Brand and Katy Perry are divorcing. In the documents, filed in Los Angeles, Brand cites "irreconcilable differences." The two were married Oct. 23, 2010 in India.
Russell has released a statement, claiming, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."
Their friend told different media that the couple was having problems, they spent Christmas apart and neither was wearing a wedding ringRussell appeared on "Ellen" just this month, slamming divorce rumors -- claiming, "I'm really happily married ...

'Batman and Robin' #14 Has The Most Exciting 4-Page Preview of All Time
As you might expect, we here at ComicsAlliance staff sees a lot of previews come across our desks, to the point where it's pretty easy to get jaded, even with things that are acutely designed to get us interested in upcoming comics. But every now and then, we get one that just knocks our socks off.
And the four unlettered pages that DC released today from Grant Morrison and Frazer Irving's "Batman and Robin" #14 is quite possibly the most exciting preview we've ever seen. Check them out along with Frank Quitely's cover and commentary after the jump!
Alfred's return to the Wayne Manor Batcave is pretty significant, since in "Batman and Robin," Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne have been operating out of the Batcave that was built beneath Wayne Tower, primarily used in the '70s, then revived in the '80s as the headquarters of the Outsiders. Considering the significance of the Waynes' ancestral home over in "The Return of Bruce Wayne" and the last arc of "Batman and Robin" I imagine he's probably going to find something down there.
Page 4: Which is that his Joker Toxin is in his blood. Pretty handy for a guy who spends most of his time being beaten to a pulp. Now he has Robin dosed and incapacitated, a crowbar, and a locked door between him and anyone who wants to stop him. Sound familiar? We've seen it before, and we know how it works out.
But if this story is Morrison's response to his own "Batman R.I.P.," then Damian isn't just Jason Todd, he's standing in for Dick Grayson, who spent that story strapped to a gurney with the threat of a frontal lobotomy quite literally hanging over his head. Damian's running the same risk of having someone rescrambling his brain, though with something a little more blunt — you don't need your hands unshackled to swing a crowbar.
Like I said, it's exciting, and it's going to make the days until the issue itself comes out seem like the longest wait for Wednesday in years.

Eastwood Welders??
Any know anything about the 220V Auto-Set welders that Eastwood's sells or have experience with them?
Have been set on a Miller, but it looks like Eastwood is offering quite a deal. Does anyone know who makes them?
Thanks in advance!
ANYTHING Eastwood sells can be found cheaper somewhere else. E-mail them and find out who makes the thing and where it is made, if it is like most things they have it is a Chinese import that may be hard to get consumables for except from Eastwood at their prices!
Just go ahead and get that miller, you won't have any regrets :D
Exactly! :)
Only two names in Welders...Miller and Lincoln. Beauty is every Po-Dunk town coast to coast will have parts available for these units. Steer clear of the off brands... They only breed disappointment!
(Hobart and ESAB also good quality. Just less available parts)
Hobarts are made by Miller
For the umpteenth time Hobart is NOT made by Miller! Hobart and Miller are owned by the same parent company but they are two different entities and are still competitors for different segments of the market. This "urban legend" got started when ITW (who already owned Miller) bought out the welder division from Hobart but neither Hobart or Miller owns the the other!
The warranty is handled by the same place within ITW, Hobart/Miller electric, kind of strange that it would be HOBART/Miller if Miller owned Hobart! :mwink:
Oldred, does not ITW control the Big Three: Miller, Hobart and Lincoln? While all three are quality welders in comparison to all the multiple brands out there, I like my Thermal Arc better than any other I have used. It is my understanding that the Thrermal Arc was Hobart's top of the line that they sold to the Australian firm, Thermaldyne, before selling the rest to ITW. Don't know how good this info is, but the Thermal Arc speaks for itself. Expendables are no more expensive than those offered by the Big Three, but the design and quality of the wire feed has the others beat hands down.
We had a Thermal Arc at the shop just before I retired and for a fact it was a great machine!
This Hobart/Miller thing does a real dis-service to a very reputable outfit who has a quality machine for a decent price, Hobart is aimed more at the home/farm/small shop market while Miller is more directed at the industrial market. Hobart and Miller machines do share some common "off the shelf" components and some of the smaller machines are very similar but this in no way means one owns the other or that Hobart is just a stripped down Miller.
yes the smaller ones do share parts, if you open it up you will find miller part numbers inside, but oldred is correct miller does NOT own hobart
It can be correctly said that ITW owns both Hobart and Miller and because of this they certainly do share some common components. The problem with the misconception that one owns the other is that the story usually goes that the Hobart is an inferior machine which is simply not true, due to differing markets they have different features but Miller and Hobart are still competitors just like Chevy and Buick for instance are competitors within GM but Chevy does not own Buick or the other way around.
Hi guys,
I wanted to clear up a few of the concerns on our new Eastwood welders.
1.These are NOT rebadged or rebranded welders made by another large company for us with our name on it.
-These welders we designed and tested in house here at Eastwood. They were designed to be EQUIVALENT to the Lincoln Mig Pak 10 (our 135) and the Mig Pak 15 (our 175). We oversaw every step of the production process to make sure these were designed to our specs and expectations. Our main concern is to give you a welder that is built to the same specs and quality as a industrial welder, but priced towards a serious hobbyist.
-We go so far as to back our welders with a 3 year warranty. That is backed by Eastwood Company, not by a 3rd party company, like people seemed to be confused about. We didn't begin offering these for a "quick buck", in fact we are working on designing further products to add to our welding product line (can you say affordable TIG and Plasma cutters?)
2. Consumables- Our welders are made with a Tweco style gun (the same as most major companies including Lincoln use). Therefore all consumable parts (nozzle, tips, etc) are available at any local welding supply store. We are enthusiasts here ourselves, and we know the frustration of needing a part or supplies halfway through the job and not being able to get it! (for me this past weekend it was running out of mig wire at 5:30PM on a Sunday and realizing the only local "Farm" store that would have wire closed at 5 :rolleyes: )
If you guys have any other questions or concerns feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer them!
***In fact I can offer anyone that is on the fence about one of our welders the chance to try it for 30 days with a hassle free return policy. Buy it, use it to weld your rusty project car, patch a frame on the same project, your sons go-kart, your fence in your yard, your neighbor's shed doors, whatever... If you don't like it or it doesn't meet your expectations (which I highly doubt!), than give us a call and we will be gladly take it back and refund your money.***
Hope that cleared up a few questions and concerns.
Advertising hype is one thing, and we see too much of that these days, but that sounds like a rock solid offer! :thumbup:
The "try it for 30 days" says a lot about the confidence you seem to have in this machine and I have to admit it is a very generous offer, how about the 3 year warranty? Three years is an excellent warranty on a machine for that price could you briefly go over what it covers?
Sure no problem,
Eastwood MIG 135 and MIG 175 Welders warranty covers all components of the welders other than the normal wear items such as tips, nozzles, wire (don't try and pull the "oh my wire doesn't weld right it blows holes in everything I try to weld" change your settings!), and ground clamps. Otherwise all other components are covered by the warranty and will be repaired or replaced depending on the severity of the defect.
So if you have a capacitor or something that fries inside the welder for some odd reason, you would return the old one and we would send you a new welder, if the drive motor for the wire feed dies, you send it back, depending on what portion of it is bad, we fix or send you a new one. One of the knobs for the wire feed or voltage regulator goes bad? Send it back and we will repair/replace. etc, etc, etc.
So as I mentioned, we aren't trying to make a "quick buck" we plan to stand behind these products and have faith in the design and testing done on these proves they can stand the test of time.
Thanks again for the response!

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
"Anytime the Yankees pursue somebody, it's pretty much a done deal," said Sox outfielder Darnell McDonald. "But he's not in a bad spot in Philly. He's on a great team with a lot of great fan support. Obviously, he wanted to wear the red pinstripes."
Last night offered the Red Sox a reminder of what a nightmare it would have been to face Lee four or five times a year. He took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and dominated his ballyhooed matchup with Josh Beckett [stats] to the final pitch in a 5-0 shutout.
"That's an unbelievable offense over there, even with Crawford and Ortiz out," Lee said. "It's still threats from start to finish. I wasn't expecting us to get five runs off Beckett, the way he's been pitching. I was anticipating it being a closer game from start to finish."
Herald | Thankful-Lee, he went to Philly
Can you imagine having to see this guy a bunch of times a year? Can you imagine Yankees' fans talking excitedly about him? They'd be worse than me and Adrian Gonzalez.
Lee was great, Beckett struggled. Ben mentioned how awesome Lee has been lately (and as his fantasy owner, this is something I'm well aware of), so it looks like he's just in a groove. Beckett is something to watch. He is notoriously streaky and injuries have been known to set him back; will sickness be the same?
Hopefully not, because we can't afford it. We're going through a tough period with injuries right now, and we're a game and a half back of the Yankees, who every year seem to not realize that they're old and should be terrible. Meanwhile, the Rays are just a game behind us -- so we really can't let up.
One piece of good news will be Clay Buchholz returning from back problems...but on page 2, that return is delayed.
The Sox had tentatively expected Clay Buchholz to return to the mound Monday when the team returns home from its nine-game interleague road trip, but that's not going to happen.
"We'll see where he's at," said Francona. "He threw a side (Monday) and he's improving. But getting into a game and having the endurance where it starts grabbing him. We don't want him to make a start or two and have him go back to where he was."
CSNNE | Buchholz (back) return will be delayed
It doesn't sound too bad, but any setback with a pitcher is a concern.
Later in that piece, McAdam suggests they might just hold him out through the All-Star break, which wouldn't surprise me. That's common behavior around baseball -- better safe than sorry.
Meanwhile, Bobby Jenks is returning, along with Franklin Morales. Scott Atchison and Tommy Hottovy are on a bus to Rhode Island to free up roster space.
Herald | Cliff Lee cruises past rusty Josh Beckett, Sox | Ortiz set to grab glove | Jenks eyes fresh start | Globe | Blank stares | Beckett struggles against Phillies | Ortiz to play 1B tonight, Gonzalez in right | CSNNE | Game Story: Lee shuts out Red Sox, 5-0 | Ortiz in, Gonzalez to play RF Wednesday | Beckett done in by a couple of pitches | Hottovy sent down but hungry to taste MLB again | ESPNBoston | Edes: Theo will stay course | Lee stuffs Sox | Ortiz says he'll play 1st; will Gonzalez follow to RF? | Beckett sick of dealing with flu | Jenks off DL; Buchholz, Crawford not ready yet | Ellsbury closes in on Hamilton in All-Star voting

Almost half (44%) of businesses in Europe dislike bring-your-own-device (BYOD) or only allow it in exceptional circumstances, the Oracle European BYOD Index Report has revealed.
The study of 700 European businesses found that a further 29% restrict usage to senior employees only, while 22% have a complete ban and 20% have no rules in place at all.
There has been much resistance to BYOD adoption in many regions, driven primarily by concerns about security of business data on devices, user identity and application security.
Security of information was the biggest overall concern: 45% of respondents had deep concerns about device security; 53% about application security; and 63% about data security.
Over half of the respondents in Oracle's study were not managing smartphones as part of a BYOD program, with nearly a third not using any form of mobile device management.
>See also: Taking mobility by the reins: the rise and fall of BYOD
Over a third (37%) had not heard of containerization, while 22% had never came across mobile application management.
The respondents included two communities: those that embrace BYOD ("embracers") and those that resist it ("deniers").
83% of embracers handled both smartphones and tablets as part of BYOD. On the other hand, 73% of deniers did not include smartphones in their BYOD approach
Two-thirds of deniers had deep concerns about security, as opposed to just 6% of embracers. The embracers, however, were more braced for change: over two-thirds of them either accepted the need to embrace change in device types or approaches or see the BYOD market becoming more complex, whereas only 11% of deniers shared these views.
"BYOD – if deployed in the right way – can really deliver a great deal to businesses; everything from increased employee productivity, reduced hardware costs for IT and an improved ability to attract the best of today's young talent," said Clive Longbottom, Research Director at Quocirca.
"While it is good to see that some organisations across Europe are embracing BYOD in order get these advantages, the Oracle BYOD Index has revealed a real cause for concern in the reluctance among many others to accept that BYOD is happening within and around them and to embrace this change for their own benefit."

Submitted by: Gene Showers on Oct 27, 2014I Have had the pleasure of purchasing 3 gsp from warriors mark and would highly recommend them if your looking for a hunting dog or just a family friend.I'm currently training my third puppy that i picked up on October 10th 2014 and he is doing great,retrieving and pointing at 12 weeks.i have already shot 4 birds over him. Their dogs have outstanding blood lines and are easy to train with minimum experience in training hunting breeds. They are great to deal with and and offer many breeds. I wouldn't think of going any where else. My thanks to Bernadett and Eric also Donna.
Submitted by: Wes on Mar 24, 2014Our English Springer Spaniel is now one year old and we couldn't be happier with how she's turning out. She's healthy, has a great personality, and obviously comes from great lines, given how effective she is on the hunt and how wonderful she is behaviorally. The Warriors Mark staff we're very helpful, kind, and informational. Whenever I had any questions, I called and they we're happy to help. Flying her out to Los Angeles from PA was no problem at all. I give Warriors Mark 5 stars, a 10 out of 10, two thumbs up, etc.
Submitted by: Barb Bloom on Oct 02, 2013We got our German Shorthair Pointer (GSP) in September 2011. He is now almost 2.5 years old. Cooper has been an excellent hunter and replaced our other dog. Eric gave my husband some excellent tips to aid in water skills and training. Cooper will point and then retrieve perfectly on land or water. Highly recommend Warriors Mark. My husband has been back for some of the field trials there... Our 6 yr old is saving to get his own hunting dog, from Warriors Mark.
Submitted by: Don on Sep 27, 2013I was looking for a good family and house dog as well as a good upland hunter. Based on other testimonials, I contacted Warriors Mark. So happy I did.
I went out for an initial visit to their facility. Eric and Bernadette and their staff spent a lot of time with me to gauge my needs. They confirmed that my interest in a springer would best fit my particular home, family, and hunting needs.
After the litter was born, I returned with my young sons to pick out our puppy. Again, everyone at Warriors Mark was helpful and accommodating. We spent several sessions over two days with the litter and then made our decision.
What a great dog she is. I couldn't be more pleased.
She went on her first hunt just yesterday. This springer puppy loves birds. She flushed a half dozen quail and didn't want to stop.
I had conditioned her over the summer to gun fire. She gets excited when she hears it. No problem at all with gun shyness.
Warriors Mark is a great facility run by great people who are producing great dogs.
Submitted by: Sharon Bernacki on Sep 25, 2013I purchased my English Springer Spaniel puppy, Norm, from Warriors Mark in June 2012 and could not be happier with the experience. The day I picked up Norm he was a happy, well-adjusted pup and has remained that way. I am still learning the basics of hunt tests and field trials, but in the meantime he's been an amazing pet and running companion, and the star of his obedience and agility classes! Warriors Mark clearly cares about all of their puppies and prepares them to be great pets and high achievers. When the time comes for me to purchase a second dog, Warriors Mark will be my first and only call.
Submitted by: Steve & Lori Herzer on Sep 24, 2013We had a beautiful English Setter for 14 years and when we were finally ready to open our hearts and home to another puppy we were referred to Warrior's Mark through a friend. From that first phone call with questions about the kennel Donna was wonderful and kind and patient with me. When we picked Amber up we had a tour of the kennel and got to meet her parents and even a couple of her brothers that hadn't gone to their new homes yet. The kennels are clean and the dogs that live there look very happy. Amber is a sweet girl, smart and eager to please. We couldn't be happier with her. Thank you Donna, Eric and Bernadette for the pleasant experience.
Submitted by: Bill Brady on Sep 23, 2013We purchased our Brittany from Warriors Mark in September 2012. We wanted a breed that would make both an excellent family companion and hunter. We got both with Scarlet. Eric, Bernadette, and Donna are the nicest breeders to work with. They are knowledgeable and friendly. They were very patient with us as we had many questions about Brittany's and how to care for a puppy. They continue to be available to answer questions and concerns that we have especially in regards to training a hunting breed. Our experience was top notch. They do a remarkable job of socializing their puppies so that they are friendly and excited to learn about the world around them. My first hunting experience with Scarlet far exceeded my expectations. I attribute this to Warriors Mark dedication and passion to breeding top quality dogs.
Submitted by: jane c. branch on Sep 22, 2013I have purchased 3 ESS pups from Eric, Bernadette and Janice and Donna. I mention everyone becsuse they are truly a family raising their babies. My dogs are true "field springers", are all birdie, (as well as chippie, mousie, rabbitie, froggie, and........). My kids are so loving and playful and are willing to learn ANYTHING I take the time to teach them. It is obvious that they have wonderfful nutrition from pre-pregnancy on because they are very healthy. Warriors Mark is a wonderful place to visit as well as patronize. I love them GOBS!
Submitted by: Deanna on Oct 07, 2012We purchased a black lab from Warriors Mark in June 2012 and we are so happy with Hogan. He's such an amazing dog, so smart and loves learning new games for training. Hogan is a beautiful dog and we get compliments on him all the time. He loves other dogs and is great with people. He has an excellent natural retrieve and has done well with retrieving dummies for hunting. Very pleased with Warriors Mark as a breeder.
Submitted by: Mike and Ann Swoveland on Aug 27, 2012We purchased our first GSP puppy from Warriors Mark Kennels in November 2011 and we have been so pleased with our dog. Scooter is such a big part of our family now, it's hard to believe we've only had him for less than a year. He is very healthy, smart, and house training him went very smoothly. Bernadette and her staff gave us a tour of the kennels and let us play with Scooter for a while so we could make sure we were happy with our selection. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Eric that day, but we hope to on our next visit. Within the next 3-4 years, we definitely plan on getting a second GSP at Warriors Mark Kennels. We highly recommend them!
Submitted by: Butch Decriscio on Aug 01, 2012I have had the opportunity to purchase 5 dogs from Warriors Mark and could not be more pleased. The dogs are well bred and have great social skills from the very start making training and hunting with these dogs a pleasure. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hunting partner or even a family pet.
Submitted by: Missy Birdsall on Jul 25, 2012We purchased an English Setter puppy from Eric and Burnadette. From the first phone call it was apparent they were very knowledgable and helped us make good decisions. Our puppy is a very intelligent, very willing to please, beautiful little girl. She is just 12 weeks old and can fetch and retrieve and is almost housebroken and just the best little buddy. It is certainly obvious that Eric and Burnadette do an amazing job. Can't wait till this little girl is ready to hunt!

Submitted by: Judy Potter on Jan 27, 2012We purchased an English Pointer from Warriors Mark Kennels in December, 2011. This dog is extremely intelligent as well as beautiful. He was easily trainable and is sure to be a great hunter. We look forward to a time when we can add another of their pointers to our family. Absolutely wonderful dog!
Submitted by: Richard Marcinowski on Jan 17, 2012Our family purchased a lab pup from warriorsmark and she has been a real joy to have.She is a great hunter as well as companion.Sadie has been a great addition to the family as well as a great hunting companion.Would love another and would purchase from Eric and Bernadette without hesitation.Happy hunting Rich
Submitted by: Donna on Dec 28, 2011My Daughter and I got a Black Lab from Warriors Mark Kennels, Jack is the smartest dog I have ever owned. We got him has a puppy he was potty trained in two days. I would recamend any one wanting a lab to look into Warriors Mark kennels for there puppy.
Submitted by: Angela Okruch on Nov 17, 2009We purchased an English Springer Spaniel in August 2009. What a wonderful puppy! He is a fast learner and has such a willingness to please. Bernadette and Eric have the experience and knowledge that I would expect from a breeder. They answered any questions that we had and were very helpful. We are thinking about maybe getting another puppy and we would definately go back to Warriors Mark.
Submitted by: Kelly & John on Aug 02, 2009My husband and I lost our English Pointer at 6 years old and we were determined to find another one, we turned to Warriors Mark and found the best puppy ever. They were great on keeping us updated on the puppies progress and how they were developing into hunting dogs. We have had our English Pointer pup for three weeks now and it has been a joy to watch her! I would suggest if you want a great and healthy puppy to go to Warriors Mark Kennels great people and great place to invest! Thanks again for everything!
Submitted by: Susan Bieber on May 26, 2009After suffering through numerous health issues and three types of cancer with my beloved chocolate lab Leo who was sweet but obviously not from healthy stock, I was determined after his death to find a breeder who was meticulous about the health of the dogs they breed. That search brought me to Eric and Bernadette and the two wonderful black labs we now live with, Sophie and Tucker. They are talented, sweet and healthy as can be. Thank you Eric and Bernadette!
Submitted by: Michelle on Mar 30, 2008Eric and Bernadette guided me in selecting my first gun dog, an English Setter. This dog has been everything I could have hoped for - great nose, speed and class.
Submitted by: Jim Mariani on May 29, 2007I cannot say enough about the incredible service that Eric and Bernadette have provided me in acquiring lab and GSP pups. They offer excellent advice and well-bred (and well-mannered!) animals to the hunting public.
I am convinced that you will not find a better quality animal from a more knowledgable breeder and at as competitive a price as what is offered at Warriors Mark.
Best wishes with your new hunting partner.
Jim Mariani

Hi all,
There's VERY good news over in this thread: http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/top-20-audiojungle-tracks-competition-vote-now/67669
Thought I'd post it again here, because it is something that many of us newer authors have been asking for months:
Jordan_M said
KingDog saidJust as a note we're working on a lot of new ways to feature and celebrate more than just our top sellers!
SonicCube saidVery valid point. I'm going to bring this up in my monthly report
While i appreciate any competition and promotion for the marketplace, i think it's a bit sad to see again you're pushing the anyway Top tracks instead of bringing some hidden gems to the public. And i'm not saying that because none of my track is in the top 100 list Good luck to everyone.
This is excellent news. A little extra promotion could turn some of those hidden gems into top sellers.
Great News! I look forward to it as a newbie
My initial reaction to the competition was exactly that. Would be good, but I will believe it when I see it.
+1 richspeller
Well, the statement that they are working on similar things was a proactive statement, rather than a reactive one to feedback, so I believe they are sensitive to the matter of us newcomers wanting more of a fair shout out. Just be patient – it'll all pan out in time.
Excellent news! It would be a very nice thing!
This is very important for the future of audiojungle…. new blood, new sounds and may the best rise to the top

Since i got my 328 the ABS and traction control lights have been coming on
They only seem to come on when the car had been sitting a while like over night
when it has been driven for a while, if u turn the ignition off then back on the lights are out most of the time
i had it in the garage to see what fault codes were showing, the first time he tryed it wouldnt speak to the diagnostic. then a few days later tryed again and it through up loads of fault codes, some contradicting others. so he cleared them and i went back in today and it wouldnt communicate with the diagnostic again
the guy said he thinks it might be the main control unit that is faulty, would anyone agree?
or have any ideas what the problem might be?
if it is the control unit can this be replaced with a used one, or do i need a new one?
does a new one need to be programed by bmw?
can anyone shed any light on the mater? any help would be great, cheers
oh and as far as i know the abs is working ok

By: Janet Woodcock, M.D.
When it comes to drug approval in the United States, the focus of discussion often revolves around FDA's efforts to approve new prescription drugs. But it's important to remember that we also regulate over-the-counter (OTC) products, including many different drugs such as pain relievers, antacids, and cough and cold medicines.
Some OTC drugs go through the same approval process used for new prescription drugs. We use a different process known as the OTC drug review or OTC monograph process, however, to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of many other OTC drug products. Frankly, that process is outdated and does not work as quickly as FDA would like. Last week we held a two-day public meeting to gather ideas from consumers, patients, health care professionals, and the companies that manufacture OTC drugs about how we can improve the OTC drug review process.
More than 300,000 OTC drug products regulated under the OTC drug review are on the market. Each is made by following an OTC drug "monograph." A monograph provides, in part, the necessary information for the kinds and amounts of the active ingredients, their permitted uses and what manufacturers are required to include in the written consumer information listed in the Drug Facts panel on the label. FDA does not require products that meet these requirements to obtain FDA approval before being marketed to consumers.
Some of these monographs are more than 40 years old and many need to be updated. The current process involves rulemaking, and it is slow and cumbersome. For example, the rulemaking process doesn't allow FDA to quickly require changes to OTC drugs, or to require new warnings or other label changes to products when safety concerns arise. In addition, science is advancing quickly, and new ingredients have been developed that aren't included in the monographs.
So our public meeting to discuss ways to make a "new and improved" version of our OTC drug review was well-timed. We heard a variety of different thoughts about how we might be able to move forward. We also heard that even though we need to improve some areas of the process, some stakeholders feel that things work and should not be changed. The meeting is over, but we still want your input. Those who could not attend can offer suggestions to our Docket No. FDA–2014–N–0202 until May 12, 2014.
We'll consider all of this valuable feedback as we move forward. And as always, we are committed to ensuring the public has access to safe and effective drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter.
Janet Woodcock, M.D., is the Director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The Senate on Thursday officially gave up on trying to pass a climate bill in the foreseeable future—so what's plan B? Leadership from states and federal agencies.
A mishmash of state plans and existing laws doesn't sound like much. Climate experts have long preferred a national, economy-wide approach to cutting carbon pollution. But existing and announced state plans would do more good than you might assume.
Ten northeastern states already run a functional cap-and-trade system, and 11 Western states and Canadian provinces are planning to start their own, the Western Climate Initiative, in 2012. And the Environmental Protection Agency continues its own march toward regulating climate pollution—which the Supreme Court directed it to do.
So it's pretty darn useful that the World Resources Institute has a new report out today that calculates what exactly states and federal agencies could accomplish in the absence of Congressional action. The WRI research group looked at current and in-the-works state programs, as well as existing law directing federal agencies to cut carbon emissions. They measured the impact of these combined activities against President Obama's pledge in Copenhagen last year to cut emissions "in the range of 17 percent" below 2005 levels by 2020.
The top-line finding: States and federal agencies could keep us on track in the near-term—until about 2016—but after that they would be insufficient. That's the best-case scenario. Because there's so much uncertainty about how state and federal agency plans will be executed, WRI mapped out "lackluster," "middle-of-the-road," and "go-getter" scenarios.
Here's how each would perform compared to business as usual:
The bottom line on that graph charts the CO2 reductions the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says the whole world must achieve to avert catastrophic climate change. But even meeting those targets only gets us down to 450 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide-equivalent in the atmosphere; scientific consensus holds that 350 ppm is the safe upper limit.
WRI also mapped out the projected emissions from different sectors of the economy based on the various scenarios:
The electricity industry (in blue) is the biggest reduction target by far, and that's where things get wonky quickly. The report considers regulatory action the EPA could take under several parts of the Clean Air Act—New Source Performance Standards, Best Available Control Technology, and even more obscure titles and section numbers. But none of this works if Congress strips the EPA's authority to regulate climate pollution under the Clean Air Act—something some senators have threatened to do.
"The study highlights both the need to pass climate legislation and the importance of preserving existing authorities," WRI President Jonathan Lash said in a prepared statement. "The study's findings make it very clear that current efforts by Congress to curb EPA authority will undermine U.S. competitiveness in a clean energy world economy, block control of dangerous pollutants, and put the U.S. at odds with its allies."
The report also looks at steps the energy and transportation departments could take to boost efficiency standards for appliances and automobiles. Notably, it does not measure transportation planning—which has a profound effect on oil consumption—or forestry or agriculture.
The authors also concede something that these sorts of reports tend to downplay: It's hard to predict the future. "Longer-term reductions post-2020 are less certain under all analyzed scenarios," they write, "primarily due to uncertainty about how quickly aging power plants will be replaced and the transportation sector can be transformed."
Hence the focus on the next ten years. The report will no doubt meet criticism somewhere—in a hyper-partisan era, it's easy to dismiss think-tank research as so much political ammunition. What's interesting about this report is that it doesn't make any claims about the amount of jobs created, money saved, double rainbows produced, etc. WRI makes it clear it wants a climate bill; here it looks at what may happen without one.
So is this any comfort? Good news or bad? The devil, as always, is in the details and the execution. The report illustrates the wide range between "lackluster" and "go-getter" policy. That's the field of play for anyone who wants to help.
Update: Here's an explanatory video from WRI:

Mrs. Debbie Patlovany - Principal
Welcome to Dr. Winn Murnin Elementary School!
My name is Debbie Patlovany and it is my privilege to serve as principal of Dr. Winn Murnin Elementary for the 2012-2013 school year.
My husband and I have lived in the San Antonio area since 1977. Our two sons attended NISD schools and received outstanding educations. My role in NISD has ranged from community member to parent to teacher to administrator.
I am a graduate of UTSA with a BA in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Math. I completed my MA degree in Education/Administration/Mid-Management at UTSA also. I have been an educator in NISD since 1983. I taught Math for nine years at Sul Ross Middle School and Rudder Middle School. I then served as Vice Principal at Carlos Coon Elementary and Northwest Crossing Elementary for eleven years before becoming the principal at Northwest Crossing. In 2006, I had the honor of opening Dr. Winn Murnin Elementary where I continue to serve as principal. I look forward to another exciting year here at Murnin working with our wonderful staff, students, parents and community.
Ms. Anne Kleeberg - Vice-Principal
Welcome to Dr. Winn Murnin Elementary School, home of the Mariners. My name is Anne Kleeberg and it is my pleasure and privilege to serve as the Vice Principal of Murnin.
This is the beginning of my eighteenth year as an educator. My experiences include eight years as a kindergarten and first grade teacher (three of those years as a first grade teacher here at Murnin), three years as a campus reading teacher and instructional coach, and seven years in elementary school administration.
I grew up in western New York, and received a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Rochester Institute of Technology. I attended the University of Texas, San Antonio to complete my Texas Teacher Certification and received a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from New Mexico Highlands University.
In addition to growing up in western New York, I have lived in Connecticut, Maine, California, New Mexico and my favorite state, Texas.
I look forward to working with the staff, students, and parents of Murnin Elementary this year to ensure the success of each student on our campus.
Murnin Elementary Mission Statement: At Dr. Winn Murnin Elementary, it is our passion to instill the joy of learning in every child. We are committed to provide a safe harbor to anchor a firm educational foundation through a partnership with students, school, family and community.

War Machine really hates his job
in Comic News Comment
Considering James Rhodes' impressive resume and references (Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, the President …), to say nothing of his multibillion-dollar armor, you'd think he would have a pretty great day job. However, as the video "War Machine at the Office" demonstrates, he faces many of the same problems other nine-to-fivers do: boorish co-workers, an insufferable boss and a troublesome photocopier.
On the plus side, he is, quite literally, a war machine, and is better equipped than the rest of us to handle that daily grind …

How-To Geek
In computing, a heartbeat is a tiny exchange between computers, typically used in a server environment where stability and uptime are critical, that checks to make sure all systems on the heartbeat network are available and operational. The operation is called a heartbeat because the exchange happens twice per second and mirrors the regularity of a beating heart.

The tragedy of Bias' untimely death last two days after he was selected by the champion Boston Celtics as the second player taken in the NBA has been further marred by unconfirmed reports that traces of cocaine were found in his system and a packet of powdery white substance was found in his car. The answers to those questions won't be known until the medical examiner releases his report and those with Bias in his last hours are questioned. A Prince George's County prosecutor says friends and teammates of Bias will be called nefore a grand jury tomorrow. But mourners will remember the strapping 6-foot-8 player who created magic on the basketball court and died just be about to make a longtime dream come 'rue. Biarejflapsed in bis dormitory room in College Park and died of apparent cardiac arrest. Thousands began paying their respects in filing past bis coffin at a wake in the small brick Pilgrim African Methodist Episcopal Church in the Capitol Hill area. A private funeral service was set for this morning at the University of Maryland chapel. A public tribute is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Cole Field where Bias played.

Day 4 - October 2nd -- Women's World Road Race Championship
Women's World Title is Italy's
Giorgia Bronzini (Italy) catches Cooke on the line to win World Road Race Title
In one of the most thrilling finishes ever, Britain was denied a Gold medal in the final metres when Olympic Champion Nicole Cooke and Judith Arndt were caught by the peloton in the final 20 metres of the race. Leading the way across the line was Italy's Giorgia Bronzini with Marriane Vos in second and Emma Johansson (Sweden) in third.

With Emma Pooley playing the faithful teammate and doing her best to control the race from the front, Cooke attacked twice in the last 10 kilometres, the second time on the descent of the final climb. It was here that she was joined by Arndt and the two headed for the finish looking likely victors. The chase though gathered momentum as the small chase group grew in size as riders rejoined the main group and with Canada doing a lot of the work to chase the leaders, the two out front started their sprint with the chasers breathing down their neck.
It was not early enough though for Cooke and Arndt and on the tough uphill climb to the line, Bronzini swept past not only Marriane Vos but Cooke and Arndt as well to win the title.
The Race
In bright sunshine which has helped give Australia the nickname the 'sunburnt country', a field of 123 riders lined up in Geelong (Victoria) to contest the 2010 World Road Race Championship for Women over eight laps of this tough circuit. In amongst those 123 riders were seven from Great Britain lead by Olympic champion Nicole Cooke along with Emma Pooley who has already struck Gold at these championships, Lizzie Armitstead, Katie Colclough, Sharon Laws, Lucy Martin and Catherine Williamson.
This years race was the 50th anniversary of the event and a rider who has contested probably more than half of those is French legend Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli (France) and she too was part of the field lining up on the start line. With so many riders and probably even more nerves, there was a crash early on which split the peloton for a short while but soon it was altogether again and one by one, riders on early doors duty were trying to get away.
It took a while, three laps, for an attack to stick and it was a rider from the USA, Katheryn Curi Mattis, who had the honour of being 'allowed' to lead the race alone as the favourites bided their time in the peloton. With riders from many of the World's top cycling nations including Britain helping to maintain a reasonable tempo, the rider from the USA continued to increase her lead lap after lap.
It was a suicide mission however and with three laps to go, the gas was being turned up in the peloton and the lead for Katheryn Curi Mattis was dropping like a stone. The increase in pace saw the peloton reduced in numbers and where else but on one of the climbs, GB's Emma Pooley went to work on reducing those numbers even more. Attacking, Pooley who turns 28 on Sunday, rode away from her rivals, something she has done many times in major races and in some cases, never been seen again. This time however, the favourites were not giving her any room and after Pooley had been the first to reach Katheryn Curi Mattis and end her race, Pooley her self was joined by a small select group of chasers.
The descent though saw many more regroup at the front but Pooley wasn't finished and she had another dig, this time with an Italian rider for company. The strength of British women in the international peloton was certainly there for everyone to see with no less than four Brits in that lead group of around 40 riders. After Pooley's efforts, Lizzie Armitstead marked out a move by Noemi Cantele of Italy and it was on for young and old now as attacks and counter attacks were being launched too quickly to keep note of. Italy were very active, Holland and Lithuania too.
As riders from many nations attacked, the Brits were on them and Pooley especially so playing the team player in a race where a sprint finish was looking ever more likely. Onto the first of the two big climbs for the final lap and GB had all four of their riders literally at the front of the race and with the slopes so steep, it was slow motion attacking as one rider would go, get caught and another would try her luck. Pooley had time to counter many of the moves, make one of her own and even go back to seemingly see if Nicole Cooke was okay or to talk tactics. The answer to whether Cooke was okay was a resounding yes and the Olympic champion made a classic move on the descent and racing alone, opened up a gap of a handful of seconds.
Reaching speeds of 75kph on the descent, Cooke managed to hold her lead until the next climb where she was caught by one of the German riders, Arndt, and more attacks followed with Pooley marking them out. Amazingly, after her efforts in the attack on the first climb, Cooke not only stayed with the leaders as they attacked the final climb, she also found the energy to go again and this time was joined by the talented German, Arndt. The two of them descended at speed and slowly opened up a gap on the small chasing group after the peloton of 30 or so exploded on the final climb. The leaders were into the final five kilometres by now and their lead was only seconds but worse was too come.
The small chase group where the favourites had lost their teammates on the climb was by now growing in size as riders rejoined on the descent and one of the first to join her team leader was one of the Canadians who buried herself to bring back Cooke and Arndt. She failed in that and with a kilometre to go, the two leaders still had a few seconds.
There was no time though on this tough uphill finish for the leaders to play games with each other and they seemed to realise that as they continued to work as the 500 metre marker approached. The leaders could by now feel the chasers breathing down their neck and Arndt was the first to launch her sprint and Cooke shortly after did likewise but it was too late as the fastest women sprinters in the world were by now on them and Vos, Bronzini and Johansson swept past just as Cooke got up to full speed. It was a second or so too late for the British rider with only metres to the line and the Italian Bronzini sprinted past Vos while Johansson had to switch from the barriers to the middle of the road to try and get past the other two.
It was Bronzini though who got to the line first ahead of Vos and Johansson and fourth for Cooke, perhaps just another nail in the coffin of a year where the Olympic champion has failed to get the rewards for all her efforts. To attack twice in 10k and still have the energy to respond in the sprint was an example the Welshwoman is still at the top of her game and her efforts in Geelong are sure to make her a favourite for the Commonwealth title.
Special mention too for Emma Pooley. An amazingly special ride from her to not only attack but also play the role of teammate shows how strong and close the British team is despite many a media effort to talk about splits. No medals for GB but plenty of kudos for the British riders who in 12 months time will be an even stronger force to reckon with at the Worlds in Denmark.

Bronzini was of course very pleased with her race saying "I'm very, very happy, this victory is for my team, they are the best team. I started my sprint in the final metres, because I knew it was the only possibility to beat (Marianne) Vos who was faster… I thank Franco Ballerini and the team Italia. We are a very strong team. We are the best. "
Vos meanwhile was dissapointed with Silver yet again, "Oh yeah, three times second. I would prefer the Gold of course. Until the last lap everything was going quite well, but in the sprint I just had to go otherwise the other two with (Judith) Arndt (GER) and (Nicole) Cooke (GBR) would stay in front. It was just too long and Italy was stronger."
Another former champion, Johansson explained "It didn't feel like it was a fair sprint from Marianne [Vos], she really put me into the barriers and I really knocked my head on the public. I know there was more in my legs and I would have gone for Gold. I'm a little bit happy, but I'm also very disappointed because it's not nice to not be able to sprint because someone is not holding their line."
"I'm staying here in Australia for a little bit, more than a week. I'm going to Sydney for some holidays and then just have a nice rest back home in Norway. Then we'll see. Next season is coming sooner than you think. "
Nicole Cooke: "Come the last lap, I knew I would be up there and in the race like we had today on this type of course, you just have to take your chance when it comes. I made my first effort and really went for it to see what would happen. I didn't get away and was caught on the last climb but going over the top, I attacked again as I thought if I can get away, I can avoid the sprint. So I went for it and Arndt of Germany came with me. We got a gap and nailed it and went as hard as we could. We knew that was our best chance for both of us and we worked together and coming up the finish, couldn't have given anymore, that was absolutely everything".
"Just as I drew level with Judith, out of nowhere, the others came past and it was so incredibly tight but that is how it is with road racing. There are so many factors and you have to take your chance and give it everything which is exactly what I did. When I came over the line, I was feeling everything from angry to sad and looking back now, I can see I did a great ride, a gutsy ride. It was also the first year that GB have had strength in numbers at the front of the World road race. This has been a great World Championship for the girls. We have really pulled together, done the training, the preparation and rode as a team and it showed in the finale. We set our selves up for a winning move and nearly pulled it off. So it was a good team race."

My colleague Brett Michel recently interviewed Simon Pegg,
who was in town publicizing his big Hollywood breakthrough movie, "How to Lose
Friends & Alienate People," Robert Weide's adaptation of Toby Young's sardonic memoir about being a successful
if dissolute journalistic hack in London who tries to make the big time in New
York at hoity-toity "Vanity Fair."
A parallel to Pegg's own
career? In fact he's already made inroads into the American audience, establishing
a cult following with "Shaun of the Dead" and
"Hot Fuzz" and creating
excitement with his plans to play the young Scotty in the upcoming "Star Trek" movie.
Some had turned onto Pegg as far back as his "Spaced" TV series in Britain, in which
he played a benighted "Star Wars" and superhero geek, something Pegg is in real
life as his perennial appearances at Comicon Conventions will testify.
At any rate, Brett is a big fan, and so was willing at the last minute
to fill in for me when I was unable to interview Pegg. In this first part they discuss
an interview with Brett's other [former] hero, Harrison Ford, after which they descend
into the black hole of "Star Wars" and postmodern aesthetic theory, from which they
emerge only after turning to the requisite discussion of Krzysztof Kieslowski.
BM: I hope this goes better than the time I interviewed Harrison
SP: I've heard stories. What happened?
BM: Long story short, it was the single worst interview I've
ever conducted. truly painful. I was scheduled to speak with him for a
half-hour, and the film he was promoting – "Firewall" – wasn't very good, and
didn't provide many talking points. turns out, it didn't really matter, since
no matter what I asked him, he'd either give clipped, one-word answers –
y'know, 'yes' or 'no' – or he simply wouldn't answer at all. Honestly, I had
run out of topics within about 15 minutes. Plus, even though he was sitting
directly across the table from me, he was turned sideways, facing the door. The
only time he actually looked at me was to shoot me an icy stare as if I was an
idiot, based on something I said – and it's easy to come off as an idiot when
you're funmbling as bad as I was. Still, this was Harrison Ford, for chrissakes
– one of my boyhood idols. Han Solo! Indiana
Jones! and he completely emasculated me. It was fucking awful. anyway, the
publicist had said she would give a 'five-minute warning knock, indicating that
we should begin to wrap things up. when that knock came, he jumped up out of
his chair and exclaimed, "Saved!" – and that was it. the interview was
mercifully over.
SP: Wow. I always say that the promotion side of the job is
what you get paid to do and the acting you do for free. But, you do it with
good grace, you know what I mean? [laughs] I think it's important to kind of
enjoy it.
BM: My readers will appreciate that. moving on… A little
background: an hour and-a-half ago, i was lying on my couch in my underwear…
SP: Wow! That's a great image to plant in my head. [laughs]
yeah. You're welcome. I didn't know I'd be conducting this
interview until then…
BM: Congrats for getting here fully clothed.
what makes you think I'm wearing underwear? It was only an hour and-a-half ago, remember,
and I hadn't yet prepared any questions…
SP: So, did you slide down a pole and jump into a
fast-moving vehicle and get here in your Brett-Mobile?
BM: Ha! Yeah -- but it was a rather ventilated ride. Before
that, though, I scribbled down as many questions as I could think of and…
actually, I cribbed the questions from my editor!
BM: Well, let's get in as many as we can before the dreaded
warning knock! I just finished watching "Spaced" on dvd…
SP: Oh, you did? You got the "Region 1"?
BM: Yup. At the close of the pilot episode, you were about
to masturbate to Gillian Anderson's photo. and now on your new film, you got to
work with her…
SP: Which is the first thing that Bob Weide – the director –
brought up when she stepped into the rehearsal room. We've met a couple of
times before, and I think the first thing he said when Gillian sat down – with
me having said, "Please don't mention it to her" – was "So, have you seen the
episode where Simon wanks to ya?" I don't think I've ever been as embarrassed.
But, she is such a good sport, Gillian is. She's a boy's girl. For someone as
stunningly beautiful as she is, she's a bit of a lad, which makes it all the
more easy. You know, she could be sort of stuck-up about it, but she was so
not. And we had such a good time. We've become good pals now, which is bizarre
for me; someone who idolized her and crushed on her enormously, and still do,
within the bounds of what my wife allows me to crush on. Having said that, she
has certain crushes as well, which I'm fine with. But yeah, she's super-cool.
She's great.
BM: Is she also aware that in another episode, you had her "X-Files"
action figure sitting on your face as you slept?
SP: Yeah. Her husband Mark is such a sweet guy. He's a real
cool guy, and she's having her third baby now, and it's so safe. I can just be
like: I'm out! I'm a Gillian Anderson appreciator and there's no shame in it
whatsoever, and she's really cool with it. And it's hilarious how when I met
Piper, her first daughter, her first child – Piper's like 13 now, and she was
conceived at the beginning of the second season of "The X-Files," and you could
see how Gillian grew on screen. And the first thing I said to Piper was, "Ah,
you must be the 'bump' from season two," which she must have thought was
half-geeky, half-hilarious.
BM: Speaking of geeky and (sadly) hilarious, my notepad, as
you can see here, is the one I used while taking notes for my review of "The
Clone Wars." Have you…
SP: I haven't seen it yet, to be honest. I um… is it a
terrible thing to say that I just don't care anymore?
BM: No. I'm completely there with you.
SP: I kind of think, if you're going to do that – there's no
question for me about the beauty and artistry of what those animators do; it's
incredible and aesthetically, it's a massive achievement and they should be
applauded. But, if you're going to do it, do the OLD characters! Do the sequel
that we've always wanted to see, you know? Let's pick up with Luke and Han and
Chewie and I mean, Jesus! I would care sooo much then, you know?
BM: Yes, but then how would you reach the lucrative 'tween
girl demographic?
SP: That's the kind of crap that... they're not going there,
are they?
BM: Yup. And they're using cutesy nicknames. 'Anakin'
becomes 'Sky-Guy'…
SP: Oh, God. Have you seen Patton Oswalt's material about
the prequels? It's sooo funny. He's like [in a Southern accent]: "D'ya like
Darth Vader? Y'get t'see him when he's a kid!" It's so funny. I don't give a
fuck where they come from!
BM: Well, let's get the hell away from "Star Wars," then.
SP: Yeah, before we get bogged down.
BM: You wrote a dissertation on "A Marxist overview of popular
70s cinema"?
SP: I did – with "Star Wars"-related works.
BM: I think we're bogging down…
SP: It was a dismantling of consent, which was forwarded by
an Italian Marxist philosopher called Antonio Gramsci. It was all about the
fact that if you watch a movie without critically objectifying yourself, you
consent to the inherent prejudices within the film. So, if you're watching a
film which is very sexist, if you don't think "Hey! That's pretty sexist," you
are being sexist by watching it. And "Star Wars" and "Raiders [of the Lost Ark]"
embodied a certain amount of late-seventies neuroses: bomb fear and subjective
stereotypes and it was all about that!
BM: You also had a quote in the "Guardian," which said that
"an awareness of the postmodern condition is still the intellectual bedrock" of
your comedy…
SP: Did I say that? Man, I must have had a couple of cups of
coffee! Yeah, I think you can't not be aware of popular culture and what's gone
before you now; you can't not be postmodern. The stamp of popular culture is
such an important part of day-to-day life for modern human beings that it's
hard not to refer to it. You can't just pretend that you're starting from
scratch these days. You're part of a huge legacy of expression that is fun to
refer back to.
BM: Like "Star Wars."
SP: There I go again!
BM: I've actually seen you a couple of times before here in Boston, sitting in the
audience during both your promotional tour for "Shaun of the Dead" and for "Hot
SP: Always a pleasure to return.
BM: …and the first time I ever heard of cornetto was at that
screening of "Hot Fuzz."
SP: Apparently, McDonalds are doing a Cornetto now. It's
coming to the States. So by the time we do the third film, it will be a known
Oh, ok. At that screening, you guys went off on a whole riff
about King cone, cornetto's american ice cream cone equivalent…
BM: That's right. "Shaun," "Hot Fuzz" and an upcoming film
will make up the "three flavors cornetto trilogy," I believe?
SP: We decided to call it that because "Shaun" featured a
strawberry one, heavily; "Hot Fuzz" obviously features the blue original; and
the last one is the mint chocolate.
BM: Why mint?
SP: We don't know yet. We just will.
BM: You've already decided on a title?
SP: Well, we have a title that we're kind of playing with
and Edgar [Wright, director of "Shaun"
and "Hot Fuzz"] kind of announced it as if it's the actual thing, and it's not.
BM: So you're not willing to go on record with it?
SP: We are! The working title is – they were so desperate to
announce that deal with Edgar, that they pre-empted our working title for the
movie – "The World's End."
BM: Care to elaborate on what the film might be about?
SP: We know what it's about, but I cannot say.
BM: Ok. I think that I might be able to kind of intuit…
SP: You think? [laughs]
BM: Ok, maybe not. although, if you're painting an 'end of
days' type of scenario, you've kind of covered that ground already.
SP: Well, our standard line at the moment is that the third
one will be like the first one, times the second one. It will be the answer to
that equation: "Shaun of the Dead" times "Hot Fuzz" equals The World's End."
BM: Is the 'three flavors cornetto trilogy' a reference to
Kieslowski's 'three colors trilogy'?
SP: Yeah, but only in a very flippant way! [laughs]
BM: That's ok.
SP: Yeah, we've reduced a masterful trilogy to an ice-cream
snack. And isn't that the very crux of what we do, as filmmakers. We're
reductionists. [laughs]
BM: Like George Lucas.
SP: Hey! Don't lump me in with that guy! You started off so
well… [laughs] Keep going!
BM: Better filmmaker: Kieslowski…or Lucas?
SP: I think we both know.
Next: What movie are you promoting, by the way?

A radio personality named Sinclair once recorded a glowing tribute to his neighbor to the south, the U.S. Could you print what he said?
Well, The Informer will at least print most of the comments, which run to more than 700 words.
Canadian journalist Gordon Sinclair, angered by the criticism leveled at the United States over the Vietnam War, wrote "The Americans," an editorial that he read over the air on Toronto radio station CFRB on June 5, 1973:
The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41 percent since 1971, and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people in all the world.
As long as 60 years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Well, who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did, that's who.
They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans, who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. And I was there. I saw that.
When distant cities are hit by earthquake, it is the United States that hurries into help. Managua, Nicaragua, is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
The Marshall Plan, the Truman Policy — all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. And now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent warmongering Americans. ...
When the Americans get out of this bind, as they will, who could blame them if they said, 'The hell with the rest of the world. Let someone else buy the bonds, let someone else build or repair foreign dams, or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.' ...
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.
I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.
This year's disasters, with the year less than half-over, has taken it all and nobody — but nobody — has helped.
