PARIS (AFP) – French film star Alain Delon auctioned off scores of antique weapons Monday, including a Winchester rifle from the 1950s US TV series "Wanted: Dead or Alive" presented to him by Steve McQueen.
The Winchester Model 1894 wielded with devastating speed by gunslinger Josh Randall played by McQueen in the Western series fetched 19,000 euros (over $23,700), far surpassing the 3,000 euros it was expected to go for.
Delon's Colt Frontier 1873 pistol, which he wielded in the 1971 Western "Red Sun" starring Charles Bronson, found a buyer at 8,600 euros, about six times the estimate.
The sale included 80 lots of weapons and souvenirs collected over the years by the veteran actor, who shot to international fame playing a hitman in "Le Samourai".
Delon said recently that he had been "collecting everything all my life".
"It turns out that, at my age… I have accumulated a mountain of stuff. Rather than leave these weapons to my children, I'd rather leave them money," Delon said in a recent interview in Le Figaro magazine.
"I can assure you you'll never see an 'Alain Delon posthumous sale'," said the 79-year-old.
Arnaud Cornette, who runs the auction house that sold off the collection, said, "These are not cops and robbers weapons but a journey into a passion of Alain Delon."

Commerce Payment Systems Lies and unauthorized charges Houston, Texas
On September 2010, I signed with Commerce Payment Systems. In this agreement clearly was stated no charges for pci. On November 2010, they charged me $99.00 for PCI. They promissed to refund this money but no refund yet.
Also, in December 2010 they charged me $99.00 for something like 1099 package. Charged no specified in my contract. I called again, and I was promissed a refund. As of today, January 27, 2010, they are supposed to give a refund of $198.00 but nobody answer to my request neither I have received my refund. I have called several times, I talke to Mark Greenblatt, David Devers and others. I faxed my request, and nobody answered. Finally, I canceled services on January 7, 2011. I hope no to have any cancellation charge, because in the contract clearly says that I entered in a month to month service with no termination fees.

Study objectives: To determine the diagnostic utility
of a nasal cannula/pressure transducer (NC), in comparison to
thermistor (TH), during routine, clinical nocturnal polysomnography
Design: We analyzed the respiratory arousal
index (RAI) using TH (RAI-TH) or NC (RAI-NC) in patients with suspected
sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
Setting: Sleep
disorders center of a university-affiliated teaching hospital.
Patients: Fifty consecutive, nonselected patients referred
for evaluation of suspected SDB.
Measurements and
results: Twenty patients were found to have obstructive sleep
apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSA), 25 had upper airway resistance syndrome
(UARS), and 5 had primary snoring (PS). Mean RAI-NC was greater than
the mean RAI-TH by 25%, 302%, and 500% in OSA, UARS, and PS,
respectively. RAI-NC was ≥ 14 (mean, 25.2) in UARS and < 14 (mean,
9) in PS. Mean RAI-TH was 8.4 in UARS and 1.8 in PS, with significant
overlap between the two groups.
Conclusions: NC is
more sensitive than TH in detecting respiratory events during NPSG and
may represent a simple, objective means to identify UARS among patients
with a range of SDB.

Mixthru #5: Hip-Hop
Hey folks. Matthew Weiss here, and I want to tell you about the latest installment in my Mixthru series. This Mixthru will feature a late 90's, east coast style Hip Hop song with a bit of Boom Bap influence.
Backbone of this record is going to be a drum break with deep bass, rap vocals, and an R&B sung hook. And a little special treat, the song is written, performed, and produced by one of my favorite rappers of all time, Armageddon from Terror Squad.
When I think of late 90's east coast style Hip Hop, I really think of Terror Squad as being the pinnacle of that genre, and so having Geddy featured on this record and having him allow me to use this song is — it was really special for me, and I think that it's going to be really great for you guys.
So go check out Mixthru.co. There's a whole bunch of mixthrus on there and you will find this one as the latest.
Alright guys, until next time.

Chronic Pain Alleviated By Minimally Invasive Cryoneurolysis
"Cryoneurolysis could have big implications for the millions of people who suffer from neuralgia, which can be unbearable and is very difficult to treat," said William Moore, M.D., medical director of radiology at Stony Brook University School of Medicine in Stony Brook, N.Y. "Cryoneurolysis offers these patients an innovative treatment option that provides significant lasting pain relief and allows them to take a lower dose of pain medication - or even skip drugs altogether," added Moore, an interventional thoracic radiologist at Stony Brook.
More than 15 million Americans and Europeans suffer from neuralgia, in which nerves are damaged by diabetes, surgery or traumatic injury, Moore noted. Sufferers often rely on pain medications, which have side effects and may not provide enough relief. Cryoneurolysis uses a small probe that is cooled to minus 10 to minus 16 degrees Celsius, creating a freezer burn along the outer layer of the nerve. This interrupts the pain signal to the brain and blunts or eliminates the pain while allowing the damaged nerves to grow over time, explained Moore.
In the study, 20 patients received cryoneurolysis treatment for a variety of neuralgia syndromes and were evaluated using a visual pain scale questionnaire immediately after treatment during one-week, one-month and three-month follow-ups after the initial procedure. Prior to treatment, patients' pain plummeted from an average of 8 out of 10 on the pain scale to 2.4 one week after treatment. Pain relief was sustained for about two months after the procedure. Pain increased to an average of 4 out of 10 on the scale after six months due to nerve regeneration, Moore said. He recommends repeat cryoneurolysis treatments as needed per patient, however, some patients will receive up to a year of pain relief from a single treatment, he said.
In the treatment, an interventional radiologist makes a nick in the skin near the source of pain and inserts a small probe about the size of an IV needle that is used to draw blood. Under imaging guidance, the probe is advanced through the skin to the affected nerves. Cooled with pressurized gas, the probe creates ice crystals along the edge of the nerves. "The effect is equivalent to removing the insulation from a wire, decreasing the rate of conductivity of the nerve. Fewer pain signals means less pain, and the nerve remains intact," he explained. Additional comparative studies are needed, said Moore.
Abstract 30: "Prospective Evaluation of Cryoneurolysis for Refractory Neuralgia," A.T. Ryan, V. Grechushkin, W. Moore, radiology, B. Durkin, anesthesiology, SUNY Stony Brook, Stony Brook, N.Y., SIR 38th Annual Scientific Meeting, April 13-18, 2013.

Since the 1964 Surgeon General's report that linked cigarette smoking to cancer, we have known of tobacco's corrosive effects on health.
But just how corrosive is it? A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests as many as 40% of all cancer cases diagnosed in the U.S. may have a tobacco link.
While tobacco use is most closely associated with lung cancer, the reports cites evidence that it also causes cancers of the mouth and throat, voice box, esophagus, stomach, kidney, pancreas, liver, bladder, cervix, colon, and rectum, and a type of leukemia, known as acute myeloid leukemia.
In short, the report's authors conclude that avoiding tobacco use is the best way to prevent the disease, which affected about 660,000 people in the U.S. from 2009 to 2013, killing more than half.
Another way of looking at it, since 1990 about 1.3 million cancer deaths linked to tobacco have been avoided because either people quit smoking or never started in the first place. CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden says that should just be a start.
Preventable deaths
"There are more than 36 million smokers in the U.S.," Frieden said. "Sadly, nearly half could die prematurely from tobacco-related illnesses, including six million from cancer, unless we implement the programs that will help smokers quit."
But progress has been coming faster in recent years. In a separate CDC report, health officials note that cigarette smoking among U.S. adults has dropped more than 20% from 2005. From 2014 to 2015, there was a 1.7% drop, resulting in the lowest number of adult smokers since the government began collecting data in 1965.
Cigarette smoking surged in the years after World War II, some say encouraged by the fact that every GI's rations included a pack of cigarettes. As viewers of the hit series "Mad Men" saw, cigarettes were a ubiquitous part of American life in the 1960s. In 1965, the CDC estimates more than 42% of Americans were smoking.
Currently, the CDC estimates 16.8% of U.S. adults still smoke cigarettes, leading to more than $300 billion in annual health care costs.

- 7200 RPM 32MB Cache
- SATA 6.0Gb/s
- 3 years limited
I take back what I said earlier 05/19/2012
This review is from: Hitachi GST Deskstar H3IK20003272SP (0S02861) 2TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Retail
Cheap for 2TB
Failed after a week. The first one was DOA, and this second one was originally working OK, though it had problems formatting for a while. Now the drive is reporting bad physical blocks, and can't even complete a read test. Also, S.M.A.R.T. is poorer than initially. I've already requested a replacement of the other purchase of this hard drive, but I'm wondering if I should just 'refund' and look into a different drive (or make)
Manufacturer Response:
I'm sorry to read of your drive experience. Please contact the Technical Support Center with the serial number of the drive, so that we can further explore this issue with you. Please let us know that you are responding to a Newegg review. Thank you.

On a day of diverse front-page stories, the Guardian reports on accusations that officers of MI5 are "outsourcing" the torture of British citizens to Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence. Tayab Ali, a London-based lawyer for two of the men who were tortured, told the Guardian: "I am left with no doubt that, at the very worst, the British security service instigates the illegal detention and torture of British citizens, and at the very best turns a blind eye to torture."
Salahuddin Amin, a college graduate from Luton, claims he was deprived of sleep, whipped and beaten during 10 months in prison in Rawalpindi. He describes a pattern of first being tortured by his Pakistani captors and then asked the same questions by two men, one of whom introduced himself as Matt from MI5. The two British men would leave and the torture would resume. Amin said the MI5 officers would insist that his main torturer remained in the room because they wanted the man to know which questions had not been answered. Another man, from Manchester, who cannot be named, said he had his fingernails removed.
*Guardian: MI5 accused of colluding in torture of terrorist suspects
*Guardian: 'Questions, answers, months of brutality'
All the papers, particularly the Times, carry extensive coverage from Austria, of the hell endured by Elizabeth Fritzl, who was repeatedly raped by her father as he kept her in an underground labyrinth for 24 years. Josef Fritzl confessed to holding his daughter, now 42, captive, and to having fathered seven children by her. Officers said he had appeared unrepentant and had an air of a "stately man of robust health", despite his age of 73. In its T2 supplement, the Times asks: How could this happen. Stefanie Marsh and Bojan Pancevski see a common thread linking the Fritzl case with that of Natascha Kampusch, who was abducted as a child.
"There is a petit bourgeois formality in Austria, a hangover from imperial times, an assumption that a respectable member of the community - a lawyer or engineer, for example - could never be the author of a serious crime."
They also point to serious shortcomings in the police, allegedly riddled with corruption and incompetence. What links this and other cases is not just the theme of child abuse and/or neglect but the almost total lack of accountability by the authorities involved. This also applies to allegations of police brutality against immigrants that amount to institutional racism.
Several papers carry detailed descriptions of the underground rooms where Josef Fritzl kept his captives. The Mail says a toy elephant stands on top of the bathroom cabinet and there is a gaily-coloured snail and an octopus on the walls. A plastic pot plant and children's chair complete the image of domesticity.
*Times: Austria: incest father has sex assault conviction
*Mail: Little homely touches from the children who never saw the sun
The Mail leads on Gordon Brown's determination to toughen the law on cannabis and override recommendations from the Home Office's advisory council on the misuse of drugs. The prime minister is expected to announce next week that cannabis will return to Class B status from Class C. But the decision by Brown and Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, risks resignations from the council, the Mail says. Meanwhile, the final two polls for Thursday's local elections and London's mayoral race are full of foreboding for Brown and Labour. The Guardian says the polls indicate that Brown is heading for crushing reverses and will see Ken Livingstone beaten by Boris Johnson for London mayor. But if there is a silver lining for Brown, Tory success will invite tougher scrutiny for the Conservative leader, David Cameron, says Philip Stephens, the Financial Times commentator.
"If you add up all the messages on everything from health to defence to inheritance tax, they just do not tally with economic strategy of paying down the national debt, cutting taxes and protecting vital services. Something has to give," Stephens writes.
He also thinks it "barmy" that Cameron's first act would be to start an acrimonious and unwinnable fight to overturn the treaty of Lisbon and withdraw Britain from the EU's social chapter.
*Mail: Cannabis U-turn: Four years on, Brown concedes it was a mistake to go soft on drug
*Guardian: Final polls forecast big losses for Brown
*FT: Cameron's success invites tougher scrutiny
The Telegraph leads on an investigation by the Office of Fair Trading into allegations of price-fixing. The paper says OFT investigators and lawyers have visited several supermarkets, including Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's, amid suspicion that retailers had conspired to fix the price of household products such as PG Tips, Coca-Cola and Aquafresh. Tesco also features on page three of the Times, where Nick Hornby and Mark Haddon are among the writers who have signed a letter to the paper condemning the supermarket - which is also involved in a legal dispute with the Guardian - for prosecuting a Thai business leader. The two authors have also put their names to a longer open letter arguing that a criminal libel prosecution and two separate civil actions against journalists represent a breach of human rights.
The Times also takes Tesco to task in an editorial: "In Thailand, Tesco is trying to silence critics using tactics that are more familiar to dictatorships than to corporations. A company with pretensions to corporate social responsibility is showing a grotesque lack of proportion in responding to the kind of criticism it usually combats with reasoned argument or a resigned shrug - not an aggressive writ."

The Book Of Acts Chapter 18 (33 Of 44) by Harley Howard
This content is part of a series.The Book of Acts Chapter 18 (33 of 44)
Dr. Harley Howard
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and
came to Corinth;
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in
Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife
Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all
Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with
them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were
After Paul's encounters in Athens, he went into
Corinth where he met a couple, Aquila and his wife
Priscilla, who were leather-crafters or tentmakers,
and since Paul was of that same occupation, he worked
and stayed with them for a while.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and
persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Paul continued to follow his habit of going into the
synagogues and to have discourse about Christ with all
those who came into the synagogue. This verse says
that he persuaded Jews and the Greeks. In other
words, his ministry had an effect on those who heard
and responded to the truth.
Here's a note here about the effectiveness of a
ministry. Paul preached the gospel and taught the
word of God to multitudes of people. Some believed
what the word said and others did not.
* There is a tendency of us who preach and teach truth
and of those who proclaim the gospel to others to take
unnecessary blame on ourselves whenever we see those
we teach respond incorrectly to the truth. We are not
responsible. The hearer is. This is made clear in 1st
Thessalonians 2:13 (read).
1st Thessalonians 2:13
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,
because, when ye received the word of God which ye
heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men,
but as it is in truth, the word of God, which
effectually worketh also in you that believe.
* When truth is taught and is responded to either
correctly or incorrectly it is no ...

This application claims priority based on 35 U.S.C. §119 to French Application No. 03 11 281, filed on Sep. 26, 2003.
The present invention relates to bus type connection systems, i.e. to connection systems that comprise one or more two-wire lines to which connectors for connecting electronic devices may be fitted anywhere along the line(s). The information that circulates on a line is received or sent over the bus with the aid of a coding system, generally a time coding system, which determines the device to which the information relates. The bus usually comprises a set of lines for transmitting information in parallel. This system is universally used in personal computers (PC) to connect expansion cards. It is also very widely used in professional electronic equipment to wire backplanes into which electronic circuit cards constituting the required hardware are plugged.
The connectors are usually fixed to the backplane at equal intervals and they are connected by electrical conductors that are of exactly the same length from one connector to the next. The resulting combination therefore forms a transmission line or a multiplicity of transmission lines of constant characteristic impedance that transmit signals, in particular digital signals, at very high frequencies with minimum distortion.
In certain particular cases, it is not possible to maintain this equal spacing, and the characteristic impedance along the line is modified as a function of the distance between the connectors. This causes a variation in the propagation time along the line and localized reflections. These phenomena lead to distortion of the transmitted signals and limit the frequency at which signals may be transmitted.
To overcome these limitations, the invention proposes a bus type connection system, in particular for backplanes, comprising a transmission line along which there are connected connectors adapted to receive electronic circuit cards and which comprises at least two segments each comprising a set of connectors disposed at substantially constant intervals that are significantly different from one segment to the next, said electronic circuit cards modifying the impedance of the segment to which they are connected to yield an effective impedance, which system is characterized in that the structure of the transmission line of one segment is modified relative to that of the other segment(s) to make its effective impedance coincide with that of the other segment(s).
The advantage of this solution is that it does not involve any additional manufacturing cost, apart from providing appropriate line parameters along the lines.
According to another feature, the system comprises a set of segments respectively having significantly different intervals between the respective connectors of said segments, and is characterized in that the line structures of all the segments except one are modified relative to a given segment to make their effective impedances coincide with that of the unmodified segment.
According to another feature, the unmodified segment is that for which the effective impedance is the lowest.
According to another feature, the unmodified segment is that for which the distance between the connectors is the shortest.
According to another feature, in which each line takes the form of a conductive track of given thickness, the structure of a line is modified by modifying its width.
According to another feature, the system comprises a set of transmission lines all modified in the same manner.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become clearly apparent on reading the following description, which is given with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
With the aim of using the above bus at frequencies of the order of 40 megahertz (MHz), the bus is implemented in a technology, for example strip-line technology employing conductive tracks, such that it takes the form of a transmission line with distributed constants and whose characteristic impedance is determined by the following parameters, for example:
L0=4.73 nanohenries per centimeter (nH/cm); C0=1.06 picofarads per centimeter (pF/cm); Z0=67 ohms (Ω); Tpd=70.7 picoseconds per centimeter (ps/cm)
The physical representation in the upper portion of the figure shows a set of input/output buffer amplifiers 102 corresponding to cards connected to the line 101 via connectors that are not shown. The ends of this line are looped by matched resistors 103.
For reasons that are specific to this embodiment, the first four input/output amplifiers are fixed at intervals d1 to a first segment of length D1 and the last five amplifiers are fixed at intervals d2 to a second segment of length D2. In the present example, d1=10 cm, D1=50 cm, d2=5 cm and D2=25 cm.
Each of these amplifiers presents to the line, at the location where it is attached, an additional capacitance CL that in this example is equal to 12 pF.
As shown in the equivalent circuit diagram in the middle portion of
As a result, the effective impedance is not the same all along the bus. It is equal to Zo1eff over the length D1 as far as the first module 107 of the second series of modules and to Zo2eff over the length D2 as far as the end of the line. The above values are given by the following equations:
The effective propagation delay will be affected in the same manner and therefore:
As a result, and as represented symbolically in the lower portion of
The invention proposes modifying the structure of the transmission line of the bus over the length D1 so that over this length, allowing for the effect of the input/output amplifiers 102, the effective characteristic impedance over this length is equal to the effective characteristic impedance over the length D2. In this case, as shown in
The structure of the line implementing the bus may be modified simply by modifying its geometry, typically the dimensions of the conductive track(s) that are generally used to implement a bus line. The thickness and the location of each track are often imposed, in which case the structure of a line is modified by modifying only its width.
Taking account of what is physically possible, it is usually necessary to modify at one and the same time the distributed inductance 204 over the length D1, so that it takes some other value, for example a value equal to L1, and the distributed capacitance, so that it takes a value equal to C1, for example. The intrinsic characteristic impedance of this bus portion, i.e. the impedance ignoring the effect of the amplifiers 102, is then equal to Z1. In this case:
It may therefore be necessary to alter the two parameters Z1 and C1, which are not totally independent since Z1 depends on C1. In practice, an iterative method may be used that sets a reasonable first value for C1 that is then used to calculate a first value of Z1, for example. This first value of Z1 is used to set the parameters of the bus, for example using an HP_ADS simulator available off the shelf. If the parameters obtained in this way are not suitable, they are modified in a physically acceptable direction, which yields second values of Z1 and C1. The corresponding impedance Zo1eff is then calculated, and will definitely be different from Zo2eff. Depending on the direction of the difference, this process is repeated so that it converges until Zo1eff=Zo2eff. The effective capacitances 205 and 206 obtained are C1+CL1 and Co+CL2, respectively.
This method, which has been described in the context of two different intervals, may be generalized to any number of intervals.
To this end, a first step is to determine the minimum effective impedance, i.e. that for the shortest interval, by calculating the impedance for all the sections, each defined by an identical interval between their input/output amplifiers.
The method described above is then applied to each of these sections, identified by the suffix x, to obtain the following equation:
The bus matching terminal resistances are then calculated using methods known in the art. In the particular case of
The final step is to verify that the bus behaves correctly with digital signals, preferably by simulation using the simulator referred to above. If the behavior obtained is not good enough, the above operations are repeated to obtain another pair of values C1, L1.
However, this improvement is obtained to the detriment of the overall transit time on the bus, since the propagation speed for all sections of the bus is reduced to that of the section in which the propagation speed is the lowest.
The above description refers to a situation in which the interval between the connectors of each segment is constant and equal to a precise value d1 or d2. This ideal situation is never encountered in practice, but the invention remains applicable if the intervals are substantially constant, i.e. if they remain close to a mean value that is characteristic of each segment concerned.

Community Announcement: Old Stuff Day is Approaching
Just a quick announcement for this fine Monday evening. Thor from Creative Twilight has taken up the mantle of last year's Old Stuff day. I'll let him explain:
Last year Rob at Warhammer 39,999 began Old Stuff Day. In short, it's a day where every blogger showcases articles they've done over past year (or longer), that might have fallen off the radar, maybe it's just something you'd like to bring attention to again, stuff you may have done before you gained popularity or just anything you're exceptionally proud of.
Lately Rob hasn't been doing a lot of blogging and so you probably haven't seen anything regarding it for this year, which is why I'm mentioning it. I've talked with Rob and it's time to put it out there again. March 2nd is Old Stuff Day. So, take some time and go through your archive to find those articles you want to showcase and draw attention to. Rob said it best last year when he explained what Old Stuff Day is.
The idea is to spread the word so that on March 2nd every blogger participates and the blogosphere is full of cool articles you might have missed. Feel free to link to Rob's original article, linked twice above, or to this one. There are also some banners you can snag and use to show your participation in Old Stuff Day and to promote it.
The one above is even larger than you're seeing it here. I had to scale it so it fit in my content area. If you save it then it will save at its full size. The one below is shown at its actual size.
So, help spread the word!
And that's the gist of it. I know we'll be reposting something, and we hope to see as many of you joining in as well. See you on the 2nd!

Neil Jordan has survived the disorientating acclaim given to his early films (Angel, Mona Lisa) and the more or less justified dismissal of later, Americanised projects (High Spirits, We're No Angels). Now he has written a screenplay that combines elements of both Angel - Stephen Rea as star, Irish terrorism, obsessive guilt - and Mona Lisa - unglamorous London locations, obsessive passion and a leading player, Jaye Davidson, who doesn't look so very different from Cathy Tyson in the earlier film.
There's nothing commercially calculated, though, about Jordan's recapitulation of his past successes. The Crying Game is positioned quite deliberately in one sort of no man's land or another.
The usual complaints, when American stars appear in British movies, is of glamour beyond the call of duty, but no such charge can be made to stick in the case of Forest Whitaker, cast as Jody, a British soldier taken hostage by an IRA unit. Whitaker is tubby to an extent that may provoke squawks from Army Recruitment Offices, but he also displays another kind of softness, the odd gentleness that is his stock in trade as an actor. For much of his time on screen, Whitaker wears a hood, which muffles his performance much less than the London accent he produces so diligently - the sounds he makes aren't wrong, any of them, but they don't have the expressiveness of his natural voice.
Jody's captors include a hard man (Adrian Dunbar), a hard woman (Miranda Richardson) and Fergus (Stephen Rea), a man much softer than he wants to be. Rea's sadly hopeful face, with its wide range of hangdog expressions, fits him perfectly for the part, but this opening section of the film never quite hits its stride. Its subject, a sort of Stockholm syndrome in reverse, where a kidnapper becomes attached to his captive, is tricky enough - inherently sentimental enough - to need a full-length film, and here Jordan tries to pack it all into what is only a part of his project, the first movement of his little symphony.
When Jody needs to urinate but doesn't have the freedom of his hands, Fergus must assist at a super-intimate moment. Fergus reaches round flinchingly from behind Jody to undo his trousers, but when it comes to doing them up again afterwards he must be facing his captive. Jody says gently, 'I know that wasn't very easy for you,' and moments later they are both laughing hysterically. There's something just a little hurried about the progress of these events and emotions, so that you get a sense of how the sequence is meant to work rather than being affected by it directly. But considering how the fortunes of its production company, Palace, fluctuated during the making of The Crying Game, it's remarkable how confident are the pacing and staging of the film, its little flips seeming the result of internal contradictions, not outside pressures.
At one point, Fergus reaches into Jody's pocket to retrieve a picture of his girlfriend Dil, and Jordan's camera, normally level-headed, tips over in unison with the reaching hand. This is a rather over-emphatic moment and almost a literary camera-movement, to announce that this is the point at which Fergus' world begins to turn upside down.
When Fergus moves to London to work as a labourer, the film changes gear from Angel to Mona Lisa. For this section the opening image is not the crossing of a river but the breaking down of a wall, a more traumatic representation of the film's bringing together of realms normally kept apart.
Fergus becomes obsessed with Dil, or perhaps he only remains obsessed with Jody. As Dil, Jaye Davidson conveys a curious stillness that may partly be inexperience (Davidson has no previous acting experience) but nevertheless suits the part. There is a slight interior blankness that makes obsession possible, an inertness without which glamour is only camp. In one sequence, Dil sings the film's title-song in a pub. This is the sort of scene that occurs in hundreds of movies, where we are supposed to be spellbound without thinking 'production number', but here it works. The performance is both accomplished and uninvolved, haunting precisely because it is inexpressive, guarded despite the torchy temptations of the song.
It is the hallmark of Neil Jordan's romanticism (as Mona Lisa amply demonstrated) that it poses as a critique of romanticism. Up to a point, this film insists that love is blind, that obsession comes from a number of sources, none of them pure, that masculinity is a fiction whose costs are borne largely by women. But then suddenly everything turns around. The blindness of love becomes not its defining flaw but in some strange way its grandeur, even its vindication. The film's interrogation of sexual identity comes to an abrupt halt, and masculinity is let off not only without a caution, but with all its prerogatives restored to it.
The Crying Game follows the same strange trajectory with its more ambiguous situation, where love may be only guilt and the obsession with a woman may be an obsession with a man. At a moment that is almost arbitrary, the compulsive choices that the film has been treating with surprisingly little indulgence start to be celebrated all over again, as if they were freely made and contained no impurities.
When The Crying Game ends, with a tracking shot in the reverse direction from the one in its opening sequence, a shot this time that takes us gently away from a couple who have overcome the divisions between them, it may be that only a minority of viewers will be fully convinced by the film's blend of weirdly jarring elements - political thriller, love story, meditation on sexual identity. But even if The Crying Game is only almost terrific, it deserves to be celebrated, and it should be enough - if there is any justice in the world of film- making, which there clearly isn't - to get Neil Jordan's career back on track.
'The Crying Game' opens tonight

Bowen Basin Projects
Baralaba Coal Company Limited's main interests in the Bowen Basin extend from the Dingo Project in the north to the Baralaba South Project in the south, along approximately 92 km of strike length. The Bowen Basin is located approximately 180 km west of Gladstone, in Central Queensland. The Permian-age Rangal Coal Measures sub-crop throughout the project package, offering 650 km2 of contiguous target areas.
The Baralaba South Project is approximately 6 km to the southeast of the Baralaba township and 45 km north of Moura. Feasibility studies and a voluntary Environmental Impact Statement process was announced for the Baralaba South Project to assess the viability of a new open-cut coal mine which were later deferred to focus on the Baralaba North Continued Operations Project.
Baralaba Coal Company Limited also possesses an extensive footprint of greenfield exploration tenure throughout the Bowen Basin, particularly in the Rolleston area.

Gardening: Series of horticulture classes offered
Sat., Jan. 5, 2013, midnight
So we are off and running into 2013. The holidays are over and it's now time to start looking toward things we gardeners can do to keep ourselves from going stir-crazy until it thaws out.
Winter is when a lot of gardeners look for classes and workshops so they can bone up and learn about all the latest and greatest new garden plants and ideas.
The WSU Spokane County Master Gardeners are offering their biannual horticulture class series starting Jan. 10. This is the same basic education the Master Gardeners go through but without the volunteer time commitment. The classes will run through March 28 and will cover Spokane climate and growing conditions; basic botany; soil science; vegetable, small fruit and berry production; fruit tree management; perennials, pruning, turf grass management; diseases; insects and integrated pest management; weeds and weed management; composting; and waterwise landscaping.
This year for the first time the turf management, plant diseases and weed management classes will be offered for pesticide license recertification credits. The pruning class will be offered for arborist recertification credits.
The course is $275 per person for the series or $15 per class. Check out the WSU Master Gardeners website – www.spokane- county.wsu.edu/spokane /eastside/ – for a complete list of the classes, dates and a registration form. Registration by check or cash will need to be mailed to WSU Spokane County Extension, 222 N. Havana St., Spokane, WA 99202.
If you find you have a question about your houseplants or any other gardening topic, the WSU Master Gardeners are available by phone through the winter. Volunteers pick up messages and emails on most Wednesdays and will get back you with an answer. Call (509) 477-2181 or email mastergardener@ spokanecounty.org. The clinic will reopen March 1 for walk-in visitors.
While the days are slowly getting longer, most houseplants are pretty much dormant until the light levels increase. Because they are dormant most plants are going to need very little watering. Check each pot before you water by inserting your index finger into the soil up to the first joint. If the soil is dry, add enough water to lightly moisten the soil. Too much water will cause root rot and unfortunately the symptoms of root rot – wilting and turning yellow – are very similar to a plant that needs water. If in doubt, hold off for a few days before you water.
By the middle to end of February, the light levels will have risen enough that you can add a half-strength fertilizer and begin watering more regularly. Late February is also a great time to repot any overgrown plants so they can take advantage of the room to grow as spring takes hold. Keep a sharp eye out for bugs and mildew, especially if you had your plants outside for the summer. The bugs just love your nice, warm house and the free salad bar offered by your plants. Treat problems as they arise with the appropriate control method.

Nexus 7 power
Hi all,
I'm very interested to replicate phillyfan1138's setup:
Metra dash kit for 2012 focus
Keeping the original radio and using Bluetooth Audio for sound. Apparently, Sync is capable of supporting one device for phone audio gateway and another device for A2DP. This works out perfectly because you can still receive phone calls while using the tablet for media.
So now the only problem I have is power. I need a power source which provides enough current to charge the tablet so the battery doesn't just deplete slowly. I think the Nexus 7 charger is rated at 2A.
Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? I've read that some folks wire directly from the the car battery with an inline fuse and 12V-5V USB adapter. I wouldn't mind doing that as it doesn't involve cutting up any factory wiring. But how can I connect a wire from inside the dash to the battery???
If anyone else have a different idea on how to get power to the tablet (keeping stock radio, so no special harness), please let me know. Thanks.

On the return trip to our Casita we stop at the Mega store which is a large grocery store similar I guess to Presidents Choice stores, but, and I am going from Angie's account, laid out much better then the stores at home.

Hi All, Sorry its been a while since we last wrote anything to anybody. But its been rather hectic this last week or so. Not sure where we left off, so I'll pick it up with Ajijic.

In time, a small yellow fish, 'Speckle' befriended me, following me, swimming just below my goggles all over the beach. We swam a couple hours before returning to the beach for a couple of cocktails, Mai Tais and Tequila Sunrises. We've been going easy on alcohol lately, but the price and setting was too good ...

text: It was once thought that you could spot an american tourist by their white sneakers. Today, that belief is obsolete. From Europe to the America's, white sneakers are a full blown fashion statement. Stan Smith and shell toe Adidas have been seen on everyone from fashion editors to royalty, but now the big fashion houses Givenchy, Isabel Marant and even Alexander McQueen want in on the action. My suggestion, don't run out and spend $800 on a white sneaker, you're right in the mix with a $75 classic. xoxo

Lake Co. mom arrested after baby left in car
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - A Lake County mother has bonded out of jail after investigators said she left her baby in the car while she went to the grocery and liquor store.
Shannon Mixer, 34, told officers she thought her 1-year-old daughter would be fine in the car because the air conditioning was on. But police said the vehicle was left unlocked and the air conditioning wasn't working properly.
The incident happened Sunday afternoon at a shopping plaza in Leesburg.
"It just disgusts me, it really does," said shopper Ellen Healey.
According to investigators, Mixer first went to LJ's Lounge & Package for liquor before going over to the Publix. Police were called when someone spotted the child in Mixer's car.
"They think that no one is going to notice that they're doing it, but see everyone is more watchful now," said shopper Janice Bennett.
Officers said the baby was clammy and flushed after being left for about 20 minutes in the car, which wasn't blowing cold air.
Mixer told police she has left her child in the car at least six other times, an arrest report states.
"She probably just leaves her kid in the car and goes and does everything," said Bennett.
Mixer has bonded out of jail after being charged with child neglect. Channel 9 went to the woman's Umatilla home to get her side of the story, but she couldn't be located.

Megan Foster has stepped down as the boss of Myer-owned fashion chain sass & bide after less than four months in the role, returning to the department store fold to run its freestanding stores.
The shock departure means sass & bide will be searching for its second chief executive this year, only days out from Christmas and as Myer inches closer to finding an eventual replacement for current Myer boss Bernie Brookes.
It is believed Foster, who lives in Melbourne, found the weekly commute to Sydney where she ran sass & bide difficult to maintain, especially as she has young children.
Myer paid $42.3 million for a two-thirds stake in the high-end sass & bide chain in 2011, later paying another $30 million to acquire the remainder of the business. The second payment, in September this year, boosted the joint fortune of the founders, Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton, by $9 million.
Last month Clarke and Middleton, who have previously featured on the BRW Young Rich, resigned as directors of the fashion empire they founded 14 years ago – although they remain closely involved with the label, maintaining their senior executive roles.
Foster will remain on the advisory board of sass & bide, along with Clarke and Middleton, and will also help hunt for a new CEO of the popular women's fashion label.

Jan 27 (Reuters) - Referee Carlos Maglio realised that even after dishing out eight bookings in a friendly between bitter Argentine rivals Estudiantes and Gimnasia the players were not getting the message, so he relinquished his yellow card to send a clear warning: the next one's red.
"Retiring the yellow was a spur of the moment decision. I had already booked eight players and I didn't want them to keep on hitting each other," Maglio told La Red radio on Monday.
Sooner afterwards, Maglio sent off Estudiantes midfielder Israel Damonte for violent play.
Maglio said the decision worked out well. There were no further cards issued after Damonte's dismissal in the 84th minute.
"Even if I'd had the yellow card he would still have gone off," said the ref of Damonte. "It was a red (card) offence."
There is rarely anything amicable about summer friendlies in Argentina, often between classic rivals like the two clubs from La Plata, who use them to gear up for the second half of the season starting in February.

Sounds like a great combination!
Blue cheese and asparagus yum! Unfortunately, I would have to make it just for me, Graham hates blue cheese. I just don't understand it!ReplyDelete
Wow, that sounds almost too flavorful for me. Fabulous.ReplyDelete
This combination of ingredients has never occurred to me, Kalyn, but it sounds fantastic.ReplyDelete
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Wow, Kalyn,ReplyDelete
Like Christine, I would never have thought of this combination, but these are three of my most beloved ingredients.
I know this has to be perfect with the blue cheese and asparagus there could be no doubt. And the pine nuts add the perfect texture mix.ReplyDelete
Yum - Toasted pine nuts! That would add a nice touch.ReplyDelete
I have made garlic chips for the asparagus...never stopped at just the oil.
Bon Weekend!
Sounds delicious indeed (and yes, the old photo is just fine:) I knew that pinenuts & asparagus go well together, and I was thinking of combining blue cheese with asparagus. Now you've shown me green light:)ReplyDelete
Yikes, I'm getting seriously behind on answering comments these days. Too much gardening and not enough blogging! I'm so glad you guys like the sound of this. I promise, it's just delicious. Of course, how can you miss with pine nuts and gorgonzola, two of my absolute favorites?ReplyDelete
I always love the flavor combinations you make, Kalyn - I am looking forward to trying this!ReplyDelete
Pat, thanks. It was really good. I need to make it again soon myself.ReplyDelete
I'd never have thought of pairing blue cheese and asparagus either but it sounds really good (especially with the crunchy pine nuts!)ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!

"Score points by throwing rings into the mouth of a frog."
RanaMania is an adaptation for the PC of the Rana game, a popular game from Colombia that is common in bars and cafes. The game consists of throwing a series of metal rings onto a table with holes in it in the shape of a frog. The aim is to get the rings into the frogs' mouths, or at least through some of the holes in the table. Obviously you can thus score points.
Due to its simple idea, RanaMania is perfect for both adults and children. The graphics are very colourful and fun. Also, you can download it for free. Are you ready to throw your rings?

Listen, we like high-concept beer as much as anybody. If a brewer makes a beer that resurrects an ancient Mesopotamian yeast, then ages it at the bottom of the Caspian Sea for three years in a barrel with curry spices and snozzberries ... well, our ears would perk up. But sometimes it's nice to acknowledge a brew with more singular focus and clean execution. This week's featured beer is just that.

Beer of the Week: Boston Beer Company Revives Historic New Albion Ale
Hold Onto Your Livers -- SF Beer Week is Coming
San Diego's Alesmith Brewing Company has been making style-defining brews since the 90's. In that time, the team has concentrated on perfecting a small (by today's standards) lineup of brews, often at the expense of developing new products. Recently, they seem to have turned over a new leaf. The brewery has created numerous draft versions of their game-changing, coffee-infused Speedway Stout, including a recently bottled version using Kopi Luwak (aka "weasel poop") coffee that is affectionately, and appropriately, referred to as "The Shit."
The brewery also bottled its Nut Brown Ale , a longtime San Diego staple. Now, the folks at Alesmith have done us one better and bottled their popular seasonal red ale, "My Bloody Valentine." Is it a coincidence that the cherished shoegaze band of the same name is finally reuniting this year? Probably, but we like a good conspiracy theory.
Unlike beer made with coffee beans collected from weasel excrement and music that relies on mind-bending distortion, this beer is relatively straightforward. At its core, the brew is a study in how flavors of sweet caramel and piney hops can form a harmonious union. In addition to prominent toffee notes, the malt offers flavors of bitter chocolate and a touch of coffee. The intensely floral hops wrap the sweet brew in a sheen of citrusy aroma and flavor that offsets the sweeter elements. Overall, the beer is a bittersweet experience -- appropriate for a brew marketed towards those who are jaded by the Valentine's Day experience.
As for accompaniments, the brewer suggests that you pair the beer with "jilted lovers, reservations for one, or your favorite emo album." Personally, we just hope that if you're old enough to drink that you don't have a favorite emo album.
