A New Friendship
The Canteen
(Tony comes over with a tray of food)
Tony There you go mate one cafe latte and one toasted sandwich.
Haydn I'm glad I found you, or else I might still be on my own. My drama teacher is one of the scouts for this school and she told me about the pompous egotistical performers.
Tony Aye. There are some right weirdoes here, mainly the ones who do all three practices, by that I mean drama, singing and dancing, they are usually the show offs, not all of them but you get some who spoil it for the others, and the minority of them think that they are better than everyone else, however some of the most talented kids are probably the nicest people you could meet, like my sister, she is so talented. Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Haydn No it is just me and my mum in our dingy flat.
Tony Where's your Dad? If you don't mind me asking.
Haydn My mum chucked him after he went with another women, he's a copper.
Tony Do you spend much time with him?
Haydn I spent unwanted time with him yesterday, because I got in a bit of trouble for drinking.
Tony What ever floats your boat mate.
Haydn Do you know who my room-mate is going to be?
Tony (With a mouthful of food)
That would be me.
Haydn What?
Tony (Clearer)
Sorry! I said that would be me.
Haydn Ah cool see I've been so worried really for no reason. It's nearly 11 and I have to go to my lecture do you know where I need to go?
Tony Yeah come on I'll take you lets go.
(They set off)
The Lecture Hall
Mr. Heath Now Stanislavski changed theatre as we see it today, he did this by introducing the actors to many new aspects of acting, for example given circumstances which made the actors believe in what they were doing. We will resume our study of Stanislavski tomorrow, now we will talk about another practitioner called Bertolt Brecht. He was born in Augsburg, south Germany in 1898.
(Mr. Heaths voice fades and we now see Gary at school who is on his own in the maths classroom with the maths teacher Miss. Behr, Gary is getting extra help. Afterwards we see Haydn's mum at home in Haydn's bedroom all neat and tidy his mum is sobbing on the bed. We go back to the lecture hall)
He also made his actors speak in the third person...
(Haydn's phone rings)
Ah Mr. Johnson would you care to hand over your phone?
(Haydn obliges)
Boys Dorm
Night time
(Miss. Bones enters and gives Haydn his phone and then leaves, Haydn's luggage is in the room)
Tony So Haydn how was your first lecture?
Haydn Awful! I have never been so bored, well that's a lie, double maths is worse.
Tony How was your old school?
Haydn Awful! The teachers hated me, well maybe that should be the other way round, I suppose that just couldn't really be bothered so that explains why most of them didn't really like me. I only went to a couple of lessons but I kinda regret that now.
Tony So what lessons did you like?
Haydn English, Drama and Chemistry.
Tony So did you have lots of friends? You look like a popular guy.
Haydn No. Only Gary. We didn't really treat people that well so I can hardly blame them for not liking me there was no point to it, it never got us anywhere. Anyway what do you do here?
Tony I do singing and Scrip writing.
Haydn Script writing?
Tony Yeah! It's really good, it's the least popular choice so there is more time for personal tutoring.
Haydn So what do you do in it?
Tony We can choose, I choose to write for primary schools, it's really good to see them being performed.
Haydn Well wouldn't you like to become one of your characters? Not with the primary school though obviously.
Tony Haydn I sing, I am awful at acting, I too skived a few drama lessons at school, the whole acting thing just isn't for me.
Haydn How many plays have you written?
Tony Since I have been here I have written 15 scripts, but as for real plays I don't think I have written a full length one. Have you ever written one?
Haydn No! But I did use to help out with the year 7 drama class, I keep this good luck card they made me in my pocket. (He shows Tony the card, he takes a look at it and Haydn puts it back in his pocket) So you do singing, so you're taught by Miss. Bones?
Tony Yeah. It's wicked because at the end of the year the scouts come to see us all perform.
Haydn But if there are 1000 of you, how do they have time to audition you all?
Tony They are not auditions par se (pause) actually that's not a bad way of looking at it, anyway they divide us all up into two weeks so that they can see us all.

Hi Charles.
Will PBP support the new chip like 18FxxK40 series?
Hi Charles.
Will PBP support the new chip like 18FxxK40 series?
I plan to add them in a few weeks. I haven't studied the data yet, so I can't make promises, but I don't think they'll be much different than the K22 parts. I also plan to add several new parts in the enhanced mid-range families.
I've become very dependent on the files that Microchip supplies in their MPLABX SDK. In the last release, they did some unexpected fun stuff with filenames and formats. My first attempt to harvest the K40 data didn't go well. I've made the required alterations in my database and parsing software (I think). Adding the new parts is next on my list after I clear the current project off my desk.
Thanks Charles.
Although I have the "Instantly, using email" selected and the appropriate tick box checked, I never got an email notification of your reply.
I think the forum's ip address gets blacklisted. I'll have another go at fixing it, but I don't know when that will be.
It is now 20 hour since your reply and still no notification received.
Still no notifications are sent when new post is sent or Private message.
We're very close to having PBP and Programmer support for the K40 parts. I'll post links to beta versions here once we beat it into shape.
The parts have been a challenge for PBP. The current methods for automatically setting TRIS registers had to be rewritten. The chips have a very powerful method for locating peripheral ins and outs on a choice of 16 pins. You can even duplicate outputs from a single peripheral on multiple pins (at least for PWM output, haven't tested others).
I'll keep working through the weekend. I hope to have something for you in a few days.
I think I have working libraries in PBP and a working programming algorithm for meProg. We're waiting on a versioning fix for the PBP executable and a reply from Microchip to resolve a discrepancy in the programming spec concerning EEPROM addressing.
In the meantime, the notes for the K40 changes in PBP, as it stands currently, are below:
Code:The function of the 18FxxK40 devices differs somewhat from other PIC18 parts. Because of this, the following commands are configured a bit differently when executed on the 18FxxK40 devices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HPWM Use the following PBP DEFINE statements to specify the output pins for HPWM. Check the Microchip datasheet (Peripheral Pin Select PPS) for the pins allowed on each CCP/PWM channel. The PPS peripheral will automatically be configured for the specified output pin upon execution of HPWM. When used on devices other than the 18FxxK40, these defines will only control the Data Direction SFRs (TRIS). These defines are intended for use when the HPWM output pin is static. If you wish to change the PWM output pin at runtime by changing PPS SFRs, you should not use the HPWM command, but rather set the appropriate SFRs manually. DEFINE CCP1_REG PORTC 'Channel-1 port DEFINE CCP1_BIT 2 'Channel-1 bit DEFINE CCP2_REG PORTC 'Channel-2 port DEFINE CCP2_BIT 1 'Channel-2 bit DEFINE CCP3_REG PORTC 'Channel-3 port DEFINE CCP3_BIT 3 'Channel-3 bit DEFINE CCP4_REG PORTG 'Channel-4 port DEFINE CCP4_BIT 3 'Channel-4 bit DEFINE CCP5_REG PORTG 'Channel-5 port DEFINE CCP5_BIT 4 'Channel-5 bit DEFINE CCP6_REG PORTE 'Channel-6 port DEFINE CCP6_BIT 6 'Channel-6 bit DEFINE CCP7_REG PORTE 'Channel-7 port DEFINE CCP7_BIT 7 'Channel-7 bit CCP and PWM peripherals are both supported by HPWM. Default output pins if no DEFINE is used: 2xK40 4xK40 6xK40 CCP1 RC2 RC2 RC2 CCP2 RC1 RC1 RC1 CCP3/PWM3 RC6* RD1 RC3 CCP4/PWM4 RA7 RA7 RG3 CCP5 RG4 PWM6 RE6 PWM7 RE7 * Note that default CCP3/PWM3 setting on 28-pin devices conflicts with the default TX1 setting described below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HSEROUT/HSEROUT2 Use the following PBP DEFINE statements to specify the output pins for HSEROUT and HSEROUT2. Check the Microchip datasheet (Peripheral Pin Select PPS) for the pins allowed on each EUSART. The PPS peripheral will automatically be configured for the specified RX/TX pins only once after reset or power up. This allows the PPS SFRs to be changed at runtime to relocate the RX/TX pins as needed. These defines will have no effect when code is executed on devices other than the 18FxxK40. DEFINE HSER_RXREG PORTC DEFINE HSER_RXBIT 7 DEFINE HSER_TXREG PORTC DEFINE HSER_TXBIT 6 DEFINE HSER2_RXREG PORTB DEFINE HSER2_RXBIT 7 DEFINE HSER2_TXREG PORTB DEFINE HSER2_TXBIT 6 Default output pins if no DEFINE is used: 2xK40 4xK40 6xK40 RX1 RC7 RC7 RC7 TX1 RC6* RC6 RC6 RX2 RB6 RB6 RG2 TX2 RB7 RB7 RG1 * Note that default TX1 setting on 28-pin devices conflicts with the default CCP3/PWM3 setting described above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I2CREAD/I2CWRITE The memory map of the 18F4xK40 forces PBP to reduce the I2CREAD/I2CWRITE clock frequency slightly to allow I2C operation on PORTE pins. If you aren't using I2CREAD/I2CWRITE on PORTE, you may use the following define to maximize the clock frequency on ports A, B, C and D. DEFINE I2C_ONLYABCD 1 This define has no effect on 18F2xK40 and 18F6xK40 devices.
We're still having some versioning issues with the PBP executable, so I've compiled a special build of 3.0.9 with the additional K40 support. This should be considered a beta version. If you find issues with the K40 parts, post reports here or email me directly at email@example.com.
Download the K40 build here:
New libraries have been created for the K40. I've tested briefly on the 47K40 and simulated some of the other K40 parts. When testing, pay close attention to the following commands, as the routines have been modified significantly:
Verify that all commands that set TRIS registers automatically are doing so correctly.
I've published a new meProg beta 4.63:
Edit: this link deleted, see below for a newer one.
The K40 parts are supported by U2 firmware version 6.3. You must update the firmware for K40 support.
The K40 are only supported in the U2 at this time. Field Programmer firmware will be available after we test and get some feedback.
Microchip seems to have changed the addressing for EEPROM data space in their hex files. We don't have confirmation from them yet, so I decided that meProg and PBP should disregard the programming spec and mimic their tools. I've tested against MPLABX with a PICKit3 and 47K40. It appears to be consistent, allowing meProg to handle the files that MPLABX produces and MPLABX to handle the files that PBP produces.
Bump. I think I fixed the email notifications. There are beta updates for K40 parts here.
Hi Charles.
Wow..! Thanks for the work you did, in the middle of holidays!
Hopefully I will have in hand the new chips to test the libraries.
I did not check for a week or more this thread and did not see your posts. Unfortunately the notifications do not work.
Confirmed! Now they work fine.
Thanks Charles,
I don't have any chips to test with but I just stumbled across a post on the EEVBlog forum talking about a silicon bug causing TBLRD to not return the correct data on the K40 series chips. The chip errata does mention it and there's also a suggested workaround. I suspect the PBP compiler uses TBLRD for all sorts of stuff(?) so if it's not allready taken care of in the new libraries it might be worth looking into.
I'm not inclined to implement the TBLRD workaround until testing proves that the currently-available chips exhibit the problem. The easiest commands to test are LOOKUP and LOOKUP2. If the commands misbehave and a preemptive setting of "NVMCON1.7 = 1" fixes the problem, let me know. Aside from the LOOKUP/LOOKDOWN commands, at first glance it looks like PBP uses TBLRD for SEROUT, DTMFOUT, and the trig operators SIN, COS and ATN. I only did a quick text search, so there may be more.
The errata shows that silicon rev A2 is the only one affected. In the past, when a second revision is released so soon, the number of first-revision chips has been relatively few. We don't usually implement workarounds in PBP when the bug has been fixed in current silicon.
If you find that newly-purchased chips need the setting, I can initialize NVMCON1 on program start and after READ/WRITE commands are executed.
Thanks for flagging this, Henrik.
I got some PIC18F27K40 yesterday. I'll test them this week-end.
FYI DT_INTS-18 doesn't work:
These new chips don't have INTCON2 & INTCON3 registers. Just a few defines to rework.Code:Symbol not previously defined (INTCON3)
To be continued...
Good to know. I will probably create an Include just for the K40s. Mine came in yesterday. Started playing today. Got an LED to blink, then decided to get the PICkit 3 hooked up for breadboard mounted programming (I normally use the MELabs U2). It didn't list the K40, so went to Microchip's site to download the latest version of software for the PICkit 3 and inadvertently fudged up my U2 software!
I want to play with the new ADC2 and verify PWM functions for Charles. Already have a project in the works to take advantage of the new cool stuff.
After 2+ hours of fighting getting the MELabs U2 Programmer working again (won't go into that fiasco), was able to get basic ADCIN working blinking an LED. Next I got basic HPWM working on the default CCP1 PORTC.2. Amazingly, by just calling CCP1 PORTC.3 in the DEFINE, it worked. I didn't even have to use the CCP1PPS SFR! Great work Charles!!! Now to play with more of the ADC2 features.
Stayed up all night working on the DT_INT-18 for K40. I reconfigured all the interrupt identifiers to match the SFRs & naming convention listed in the Data Sheet. This is for the 28 & 40 pin versions. I looked over the 64 pin versions and the registers are completely different. Let me know how it works for you.
As a side note, anything the 28 & 40 pin K40's don't have I removed; like USB, Parallel Port, Timer 7, CAN, and so forth. It can be grafted into the older DT_INT-18 with #INDEF qualifiers later. Just wanted to get it working on the new cool stuff for now.
I still have not received my K40.
As for the notifications, I am again not lucky...
@Charles: Looks like my PIC18F27K40 seems to be rev "A2"
LOOKUP/LOOKDOWN commands does misbehave but NVMCON1.7 = 1 fixes the problem.
Test code:

@mpgmike: thanks for DT_INT-18 for K40!
Ok, I'll fix it some more and publish a new beta. I have jury duty today, so it will be toward the end of the week.
Ioannis - I'm not sure why the forum isn't always sending you mail. It seems to only send a notice after you post - then it forgets about you until you post again. You could try changing your profile settings for the way you are notified.
In a 4-5 days I will have my K40 to report on the beta.
As for the notifications, now I received again.
Strange, I have not changed anything in the profile and last time I checked, seemed OK.
I've posted a new beta with the NVMCON1 workaround:
This installation only allows compilation for the new chips that need testing, so you shouldn't replace your existing PBP installation. Rather, install to a separate folder.
We're still chasing a pesky versioning bug in the new exe file, so this one will still identify as 3.0.9. You'll know it's the beta because the list of available devices will be short.
This also has fixes for READ/WRITE commands in the 16F183xx series.
Thanks Charles.
Does this limitation (compiling new chips only) apply to the previous beta too?
No, I believe the previous beta supported the full list. I didn't do any testing beyond the K40 devices, though.
My intent is to differentiate the beta and discourage its long-term use. It bothers me that the beta is still identifying itself as 3.0.9. Technical support is difficult enough without having to guess as to the real version of software.
I had hoped to have the new exe and versioning system in place by now, but the software gods are angry for some reason. We've migrated the PBP project to a modern (Microsoft) development environment. I'm happy about that because it makes things much better going forward, but it introduced a few minor, annoying issues.
On the business side, we're considering whether to release this as PBP 3.1.0 and ask you, our current users, for a $50 fee to upgrade. I normally resist this when the improvements are limited to device support, but this last round of development cost a lot more than anyone anticipated.
I asked because I replaced on my office PC the installation with the beta one, not thinking that this is a temporary release.
Whatever you decide on the policy, I support you. Preferably, of course, is the free update. As you said adding new chips should be within the free support of compiler. But then I do understand its cost.
Looking at PIC trends, I'd say the K40 is probably typical of new products to come. They will introduce a K29 with many similar features and structure, then a K37 and so forth. I vote for the 3.1 since it is radically departing from previous architecture, yet will probably be used with more of the newer offerings here on out. I suppose those not wanting to pay the $50 upgrade fee can still program everything short of the K40s for now, but will inevitably have to suck it up as the current fleet ages.
Thanks again for all your efforts to remain the go-to company for PIC 8-bits. I did some work with the new K40s and can appreciate the massive undertaking involved.
Ship it with a document and the necessary files/plugins/tools/whatever showing how to properly set it up and work with in MPLABX and I'd be more than happy to pay $50 for it.
Up to this moment I was not able to test the beta version with my K40 chip. I have some programming issues with the ICD3 and Pickit3 along with the unbelievable IPE of the MPLABX package.
Hi all,
I´ve been doing some testing with PIC18F27K40 and i found an issue that may need verification.
When using internal OSC with config 64MHZ/1:1 and disabling ExtOsc (CONFIG FEXTOSC = OFF), seems that meProg does not assume the disabling of external OSC. I tried to use RA7 (CLKIN) as normal input connected to a key, and was not suceeding. Only after i programmed with PicKit3 it started working as normal Input.
MeProg also don't show the option "Disabled" on "External Oscillator" configuration options, that´s why i suspect it is not disabling ExtOsc...
Can you please verify this?
(I´m using latest version of PBP with MPLABX and U2 programmer.)

I'm trying to use some interrupts. TMR1_INT works but RX2_INT doesn't. The processor jump somewhere else. I made sure the USART worked by polling RC2REG. I'm using mpgmike's version of DT's interrupt.
Any hints?

Every once in a while (for me it is around 3-4 months) we need a break from the Internet and all things digital. When I am on a trip I normally check my mail at the most once a day and reply to the most important stuff. Last week I only checked mail 3 times and never felt better :)
I usually don't even go on Twitter or Facebook. Personally, I have realised that social networks are merely tools to spend free time. It is not work.
I don't even open my RSS feeds. I follow roughly 20 blogs. Who wants to read about startups on a vacation? Not me.
Forget Techmeme, Flipboard, Pocket, Summly and Zite.
Over the years I have realised that we tend to keep ourselves busy most of the time because there is just so much information around us. The feeling of "being left out" creeps in from time to time. Sometimes I catch myself confusing reading/tweeting for working. Dangerous!
The day after I am back is the best - I usually quickly clean out my inbox and get back to work rather slowly. Although, after a week this madness starts all over again. I keep asking myself if all of this "instant-gratification online activity" matters in the long run? Instead what if we channel this time to build our business, play sports or just hang with the family?

In the begining of any violence.One stops and one should ask themselfs.

But such is the human nature to keep insisting to do the same errors over and over again
History seems to be of no significance to humanity.
Otherwise how do we explain the horrors of war ?
But shelter is a word that one day hopefully it can be used in any part of the world and it can provide its true meanning.
To every single soul out there that needs one.
May God have mercy on you and let Him provide with the ways to allow help to come your way.

Neighbor not found
Hi there, I started playing TPH few years ago but then I stopped it. Just downloaded few days ago and thought to restart to play again. However, it keeps showing "Neighbor not found", anyone have any idea what is going on? I've read through lots of forums online but it seems no case happen like my problem. Even it said I have a visitor Player256, when I tried to click on and visit it, it still shows "Neighbor not found". Kindly assist me if you guys knew what is going on. Thanks!
Answer from: ccwman21
Same thing is showing on my son's iPod tOuch. Any answers?
Answer from: steph
I had the same problem and while I haven't got it fixed, I have found away around it if you have any existing friends you can go to there hotel to upgrade coins and then just hit visit another neighbor and it should work. If you don't have any friend just check to see if anyone has visited your hotel recently and send them a friend request
Answer from: Lex
Same exact situation. Used to have it on a different phone a couple years ago. Just decided to start playing and now I feel like I am at a standstill because of this. The solution of checking if anyone's visited my hotel and visiting them hasn't worked for me either :(
Answer from: Pewdiecrynova
Maybe its a bug that they need to get fixed. The same problem is happening to me and it really sucks. We will just have to wait until they get it fixed I guess.

- #2800 - Friday, April 27, 2007 - Editor: Jerry KatzOne: Essential Writings on Nonduality http://nonduality.com/one.htm.The Nondual Highlights - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDhighlightsI think we may be seeing the emergence of the first literary nonduality novel. Not of all times, but the first one fed by the teaching of nonduality as set forth in the last ten years. That kind of fiction is going to be different from any other kind of nonduality fiction. Here are a couple of tastes.Excerpt from a nonduality novel: The Board of Directors of Wars, by Floyd HendersonAnd a slice from Pete's pie.I myself have never written a novel, but if I ever do it'll probably begin, "It was a dark and stormy email."
"You seem at peace in the middle of this chaos. I want that peace," Brett almost demanded.
"Brett, you've been shown the answer all your life. It was there for you to see in every play, in every movie, in every mystery you've ever read. Shakespeare borrowed the dramatic technique from the Greeks," Kirk began. "Today, it's the basis of all mystery and suspense stories, and it's also the basis of realization."
"I'm lost," Brett confessed.
"Well look at every drama you've ever seen. The main character, who represents you and me and everyone, runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. He is confused and in the dark. Those who are in a position to sit back and witness the drama objectively can see that he's just an actor on the stage and that none of the drama is real. But for entertainment's sake, he and the witnesses can pretend it's real. Both, in fact, can get so absorbed in the role that they take it to be the real for a time.
"But even amidst all of the drama, a time comes, that moment in the play when even the actor finds out the truth. It is called the peripetia in drama—that moment in the play or the movie when the lead actor finds out that everything he thought to be true is really false; when he sees that he was being misled at every turn; when those he thought he could trust the most, and who thought they were telling him the truth, were also wrong.
"It's the moment of freedom that comes when one finds out that everything he ever thought or believed or held sacred (or thought worth fighting for) was a lie. The freedom comes when he gives up all of the concepts he bought into, drops his head in relief and amazement, shakes his head back and forth, wonders for a moment at how he had bought into all their crap, smiles at how easily he was duped, watches how all of the rest of the play unfolds automatically until its end, and leaves the stage after saying to himself, 'Well, sonofabitch. I'll be damned.' And then he laughs. He laughs at it all. And then he's done with it, once and for all."Read more about this book here: http://www.floydhenderson.com/boardofdirectors.htmPete writes:I have started a new group named Enlightened Fiction.
This is a group that features my fictional short stories
about spirituality and life in general. Enlightened, here
is taken in the European philosophical sense of the
word- as thinking in a free, new, iconoclastic way, in which
thought begets more thoughts without paying homage to

or if you want to make a comment, or receive new postings

To give an example of what kind of fare you'll find there,
below is the latest story I posted. It's a satire about memoir
writing, which got hughes laughs when I read it at a gathering
of local writers.
The Never Ending Memoirs.
By Pete
Old people as they get close to that opaque disquieting wall we call
death, begin to look back to what they fancy were their lives. But I
found little comfort in those jumbled, imprecise memories.They
seemed to drift, and change like clouds, avoiding my grasp.
So I decided to write my memoirs.
My children wish I never did. I was hoping to bring order and
substance to my past. What could be more solid than a book that
you can take in your hands, and lay on your lap, and say: There--
that's my life?
It was a fool's errand, I begin to realize. Nothing, a stranger would
find worth reading happened to me, and my writing style was sure
to make my lackluster subsisting seem more dull. I was too fond
of passive sentences, gerunds, dangling adverbial phrases, and
the like. If something could be said with one word, I needed five.
The odds were stacked against my memoir. The planets were in
all the wrong houses from the start. But then, something
miraculous happened. My book took over, and wrote itself.
I was unable to write my life as I remembered it. Another life--
one more fanciful, more poetic began to emerge from my pen,
and superimpose itself on my prosaic existence.
I found with dismay, I had no control over what I wrote.
Someone else was writing my memoir. Words poured into my
head, flowed from my hand, and I had no say on what was
what. It didn't matter that my wife, as far as I know, had been
faithful to the end.The story required a lover, and that was
that. And the story, also, demanded a movie star to play that
role. And to my most fervent protest, it also demanded a
manage a troi.
Needless to say, my children on reading what I wrote were
"Dad, Mother was never unfaithful, and she wasn't the most
beautiful woman in the world, and she didn't have green eyes.
Have you gone mad?"
I didn't know what to say, except it was my life, and I could
remember it in any way I wanted. I couldn't blame them from
resenting the memoir. In my book, I have endowed them with
new lives they never knew they had. My youngest, I wrote,
fought in the Iraq war and had been killed while capturing
Sadam. Although he was much alive, and a hairdresser in
San Francisco living with a roommate named Carl.
Had I been satisfied with one memoir, it'd have been all
right. But I was infested with the memoir bug. I wrote
memoir, after memoir, each one more bizarre than the
previous one. And to my children's dismay, they all were
best sellers. And now, their friends stared at them with
knowing smiles.
So, I can't really blame them for doing what they did.
They found a judge to declare me mad. Now, in my cell,
I'm deprived of paper, or laptop. But the memoir bug
has not died. I'm thinking about writing a new memoir
on these bare walls. One in which neither I, nor they
were ever born.
But I'm having a little trouble finding anything to write
regarding such life.

I will review some problems of the black hole paradigm and explore other
possibilities for the final state of stellar collapse other than an evaporating

Edward Burns
Edward Burns
Donal Logue
Jay Mohr
Printer-Friendly version
Each character in the movie is given pretty much equal screen time. They all have their own problems, and are dealing with life in their own way. Instead of becoming a melodramatic soap opera, Burns is able to create, to put it simply, an engaging drama. One that doesn't try to force the tears out of you but pulls you in and gets you to give a shit. The movie also manages to create a sense of caring for its leads, and perfectly handles all their intertwining story arcs. It's not gonna bowl anybody over, but for what it is, it's a great little flick.
As for the actual extras, there's some good stuff, but nothing really spectacular.
Audio Commentary (with writer/director/actor Edward Burns): A very detailed and interesting commentary. Burns explains what it was like working with such a low budget, writing the story, working on the set, etc. A fun and in-depth listen.
Deleted Scenes (10:04): There are 5 scenes, all of which are actually pretty good. They add a little more development to the characters (like with Paulie and his dad), and are fun to watch. Check 'em out.
Blooper Reel (7:21): An amusing collection of mistakes and mess-ups. Pretty much what you'd expect.
Jay Mohr: The Outtakes (3:47): This is sort of a continuation from the "Blooper Reel", except focusing entirely on Jay Mohr messing around in certain takes. Funny.
Behind the Scenes (4:44): This is nothing more than a montage of behind-the-scenes footage played to the music of "Four Cheers" by The Blue Jackets (which the music video for is also included).
Also included is the film's Theatrical Trailer and a Music Video - "Four Cheers" by The Blue Jackets.

March. 19.2016. Snow....?
We had a fabulous 49 day which promoted much productivity and sunbathing. Although it got down to 32 overnight it doesn't smell like snow in the slightest, which is both good and a huge letdown.

Connect with the BEST!
Why settle for less when you can connect with the Best? Tectoweld exothermic welded connections have a proven world wide track record with users accross all industries. Our products are UL Listed for all commercial wire sizes and meet or exceed all major international standards.
Exothermic Connections
Exothermic welding is a method of making electrical connections of copper to copper or copper to steel in which no additional source of heat or power is required. In this process, granular metallic powder mixture is placed into a high temperature mold and ignited. This ignition process results in an exothermic reaction which releases extremely high heat and produces molten copper. The molten copper flows into the weld cavity, melts the conductors within and fills any available space, completing the weld.The connection can then be removed from the mold. This entire process takes only seconds to complete. Because it is a permanent molecular bond, an exothermically welded connection cannot not loosen or increase in resistance over the lifetime of the installation. It is superior in performance to any known mechanical or pressure type surface-to-surface contact connector.
With a proven worldwide track record, Tectoweld exothermic materials are your choice for performance, quality and service.

~~Moose Hunt~~
Moose are not only elusive, they are so skittish! IF you happen to see one...and if you want to capture it...in pictures, you must be extremely quiet...and fast on the brakes and the trigger (camera trigger, of course)!
I thought the "Barely Legal" sign was just plain silliness until I researched how difficult it really is to determine if a moose is legal to shoot.
The hunters' mantra, "Any doubt, don't shoot."

Back at the ranch, it started pouring with gale force winds. Nevertheless, three bald eagles began dive bombing the beach for treats! Very exciting, but too quick to capture!

We immediately saw a black bear fishing at the mouth of the creek, then a few minutes later we saw two sibling brown bears (grizzly) getting their breakfast too.

Black Comic Characters are Finally Coming to Life
It's obvious that the superhero world is not very diverse, but that's about to change as studies suggest audiences want to see more people of color on the big screen intights. Moviegoers, including comic book cinephiles, are more diverse than ever. A study by the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at UCLA claimed that movies with more diverse casts earned more money than those with homogeneous casts.
Comic book and superhero films are only growing in popularity, and audiences are asking filmmakers when they plan on making more superhero films from black comic book characters, of which there are several well-known serials. There have been about 10 films released featuring black superhero leads that grossed a total of 1 billion dollars. It's time to introduce the new black superheroes you will be seeing on the silver screen in the near future.
Here's the latest, greatest black superheroes.

The shadow Culture Secretary, Harriet Harman, has spoken out against music piracy, accusing the Government of being too lax on those breaking the law and too concerned with reducing its budget deficit.
Ms Harman, who is due to give a speech on the future of the music industry at the University of Hertfordshire today, has warned a growth in piracy will harm those making music. She told The Independent: "They are letting down the creators of content, the musicians, who are having their content ripped off. They are letting down and deterring investors, and they are letting down the taxpayers.
"The Government's emphasis on cutting the deficit crushes out their ability to engage with innovation."
She said Britain needed an equivalent to Cass Sunstein, President Barack Obama's tsar in charge of regulating the internet, in place of a plethora of UK agencies with overlapping responsibilities whose job is to protect copyright. Google and other providers should be involved in making sure music is free on the net only when artists want to give it away – as they sometimes do – and not because it has been stolen, she added.
"Young people are massively connected with music. They not only want to use the music but they want to actually work in the music industry, many of them. Many of them want a future in the industry. Therefore the industry must have a future. That means public policy action, not just standing back and saying 'we are too busy to do any of this; we're just going to cut the deficit and let the free market rip content off from creators'. Every day they don't act, money is haemorrhaging."
Last week, users of a popular website called RnBXclusive, got a jolt when they logged on hoping to download free R&B tracks. They got a message from the Serious Organised Crime Agency, announcing it had taken down the site and warning that anyone who has downloaded music from it could be liable for prosecution.
To some of the site's young users, this was the heavy hand of authority ruining their internet fun. But Ms Harman said that the Government has so far been too lax in letting the pirates get away with it.

The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion
Did we sacrifice to the gods, or did we deify the sacrificed?
Humans and animals who were robbed of their lives in blood rituals as impersonators of godly beings - as representations of something still that remains to be defined - confront the science of religion with its most vexing challenges. Because in the great rituals of the Bronze Age such beings are ritually put to death, rather then being themselves the recipients of sacrifices, our understanding of the gods becomes ever more blurred. (...)
The author feels himself committed, in his approach to sacrifice, to a decidedly conservative attitude. The retrospectively breathtaking audacity with which scholars, since the assertion of evolutionism, have stopped evaluating the subject matter of religious sacrifice, and have instead subjected them to their own bureaucratic principles, in order to then evacuate all the findings which did not match their expectations, this audacity the author could never make his own. The massive indications of overwhelming natural catastrophes which are so clearly to be seen in geological and archaeological layers (albeit only investigated in recent times), as well as in the written documents of the early high cultures, were packed into implausible constructs, turned into enigmas and allegories, ignored, ridiculed or at best - since the beginning of the 20th century - psychoanalyzed as the discharge of confused souls.
In the course of this book we will show that the soft evolutionism of the Lyell-Darwin school has succeeded in blocking scientific research and reflection in its depth for now well over a century and a half. In the 800-page final version of van der Leeuws Phenomenology of Religion (1956), which had its last edition in 1970, the terms "catastrophe," or "cataclysm" simply do not occur at all. In this work, religious-historical Darwinism attained its summit. Practically everything which was fundamental for the understanding of ancient religions was passed over without a word.
The elucidation of myth, ritual and religion must now begin almost anew. For this we will need to take seriously once more especially the most shocking contents of the early religious texts. We will be holding them up therefore next to the no less catastrophically stamped finds of archaeology and estimate them anew in the light of the latter. It is well known that one advances often with the solution of an enigma - in this case, the sacrifice of celestial deities - only when one addresses it together with other enigmas from adjacent fields - in this case the geological and archaeological destruction layers, as well as the myths of cosmic revolutions of the ancient peoples.

Gunnar Heinsohn
Gunnar Heinsohn (born 1943 in Gdynia/Poland, emeritus professor at Universität Bremen (University of Bremen/Germany) has studied sociology, history, psychology, economics and religious studies at the Freie Universität Berlin. He has earned a university diploma in sociology in 1971, as well as doctorates summa cum laude in both sociology (1973), and in economics (1982).
From 1976 to 1978 he has lived in Israel. His publication list exceeds 750 titles including more than thirty monographies. Since 1984 he has been a tenured professor at Universität Bremen where he has served, from 1993-2009, as speaker of Europe's first university institute devoted to comparative genocide research, the Raphael-Lemkin Institut für Xenophobie und Genozidforschung [Institute for xenophobia and genocide research]. He has published in the major newspapers and magazines of the German language area as well as in the Wall Street Journal, the International Herald Tribune, Newsweek, Le Monde, the Financial Times, the Weekly Standard, NRC-Handelsblad (Amsterdam). In recent years, he has been involved in fierce controversies over his proposals of limiting to five years the reception of welfare benefits in Germany.
His research focuses on the HISTORY AND THEORY OF CIVILIZATION with special emphasis on (i) Population/Childhood/Family, (ii) Economy, (iii) Religion, (iv) Genocide/War, and (v) Chronology.

Johnson, his family and doctors held a press conference at the Los Angeles Coliseum moments before the kickoff of the USC-Stanford game, and delivered news that was much more important than anything that was about to transpire on the field.
"He has made great strides in his progress to this day," Dr. Jason Hamilton said.
Johnson was discharged from the hospital on Oct.14th with a feeding tube in his stomach that provided nutrition and a tracheostomy tube in his neck that allowed him to breathe.
Following his release, he has undergone three additional surgeries along with hours of rehab, and the doctors were pleased to report that both tubes have been removed, and Stafon is now able to breathe on his own, swallow and eat solid foods.
"Since his discharge he has undergone a rigorous rehabilitation program which includes daily exercises for his swallowing," Dr. Hamilton said. "He has had three surgeries since that time to augment his voice box to allow him to swallow normally and to breathe on his own."
The doctors continue to be amazed by Johnson's rapid progress.
"The odds that he would ever actually swallow food in a normal fashion or be able to maintain his airwave without the use of a tracheotomy tube were very much slim to none," Dr. Ryan Osborne said.
Doctors said Johnson's speedy recovery is due in part to his "Gladiator-type attitude" and haven't set any limitations on what he can achieve going forward.
"No physician can tell an athlete or patient what their chances are," Dr. Hamilton said. "We don't put limitations on patients and didn't put any limitations on Stafon, and he's never put those limitations on himself and that's why he's made this progress.
"I think he is going to continue to make great strides. We are here to support him, his family is here to support him and we know the team supports him as well."
Johnson once again displayed the heart of a champion when he leaned forward to the microphone and whispered seven powerful words.
"God has a plan. Run, Stafon, run," he said - repeating the last words that his late grandfather spoke to him.
Stafon Johnson made his first public statement since suffering a life-threatening accident.

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
The great thing about a building designed for occasional use is that it can provide a deliberate contrast to a primary residence. Often it is consciously ascetic, a place for mental disentanglement.
Sometimes you look at a modern house and think, "Wow, that's amazing… I'm not sure I could live there though. All that concrete would be terribly chilly in the winter. And those open-tread stairs! Cripes, that's a visit to A&E waiting to happen." The chances are, however, that the owner doesn't live there either. Such is the phenomenon of the architect-designed holiday home.
The great thing about a building designed for occasional use is that it can provide a deliberate contrast to a primary residence. Often it is consciously ascetic, a place for mental disentanglement. A few years ago we visited an exemplary holiday home on the coast of Belgium designed by John Pawson – in typical Pawson fashion, there is very little there, save for a few bits of modernist furniture and a ziggurat of mud on the wall by the artist Richard Long. But it acts as an architectural decompression chamber, a place of simplicity where the owners can catch their breath.
At other times, holiday homes are focused on theatricality and experimentation. Take the Balancing Barn in Suffolk, for example, the gleaming flagship of Alain de Botton's Living Architecture venture. It looks like an aggrandised Airstream teetering on the edge of a cliff. You wouldn't want to live there, but as a place to take a holiday it's magnificent – challenging, thought-provoking and, most of all, good fun.
A newly planned collection of second homes in the Spanish canton of Matarranya takes such architectural conviviality to even greater extremes. A 50-hectare site approximately two hours south of Barcelona, in a national park, has been chosen as the canvas for 10 or so homes by designers from around the world. The only limit is budget, so the architects have been given free reign to go as utterly bonkers as they like.
The Solo Houses project is the brainchild of the French developer Christian Bourdais. All of the properties are for sale, and an open day is being held at the site on the 17th and 18th December. The first house to be built, Casa Solo Pezo by the Chilean architects Pezo von Ellrichshausen, has been snapped up already. A scrupulously symmetrical structure, it consists of an elevated sequence of rooms set around an open-air courtyard containing a swimming pool. "If you want to go through the centre, you have to get wet," says Sofia von Ellrichshausen. She and her partner revelled in the creative freedom afforded by their client. "It's impossible to make architecture with carte blanche, because there are always restrictions," Mauricio Pezo explains, "but Christian's intention is to respect your ideas. So we're very engaged with the whole initiative. It's trying to make a very solid contribution – in a humble way – to the current state of architecture."
The most visually radical of the designs is Casa Solo Faustino, a 2,260 sq ft house by Didier Faustino. It hasn't been built yet, but the CGIs conjure an image of a meteorite crashed into the side of a hill. Or is it an architectural asterisk? Its form – a series of extruded matchboxes – recalls Studio East Dining by Carmody Groarke, a temporary restaurant that popped up next to the Olympic site in Stratford in 2010. The wide aperture of each box frames a different cinematic view of the surrounding landscape.
Casa Solo Mos, by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, employs the matchbox silhouette in a more restrained manner, with rigorously right-angled forms stacked vertically on their haunches like meerkats straining for a better view. The idea is that the ordered geometry of the architecture will eventually be over-run by the natural march of the vegetation, creating the feeling of a timeless ruin.
Inspired by the tradition of summerhouses built in the middle of an idyllic landscape, the Los Angeles-based architects Johnston Marklee have plumped for a roundhouse that brings to mind John Lautner's Chemosphere in their native city. Office Kersten Geers David van Severen have also designed a circular structure, albeit one that is far less monolithic. Hiding in the undergrowth like a modernist hula-hoop, it is almost apologetic in its visual lightness.
Anyone who saw Sou Fujimoto's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion this summer will recognise his eponymous villa, which is like a game of pick-up-sticks for grown-ups. It consists of tree trunks assembled in a latticework, allowing the breeze to blow through it and filtering the sunlight. As a home, of course, it would be completely hopeless. But as a holiday house, a folly of fun, a place to reconnect with nature… what could be better?

Tonight: Rare Slovenian wines at Table 6, bourbon at the West End Tavern
6:30 p.m. tonight, Table 6, 609 Corona Street, welcomes Slovenian winemaker Aleks Simcic and master sommelier Laura Williamson for a four-course dinner paired with the rare wines of Edi Sincic from Goriska Brda. Not impressed? Ray Isle, Food & Wine magazine's wine editor, called these wines the "darlings of any number of top U.S sommeliers...because their winemakers are devoted both to organic farming and to creating wines that are deeply expressive of their place of origin."
The dinner, prepared by Table 6 exec chef Scott Parker, is $90 per person and reservations are necessary: call 303-831-8800 to book your seat.
Or, head up to Boulder's West End Tavern, 926 Pearl Street, for the bar's Bulleit Bourbon social with guest Robert Sickler, one of only a dozen bona fide whiskey masters in the United States.
The event begins at 6 p.m., costs $20 per person and includes Bulleit neat, three Bulleit cocktails and appetizers from exec chef Chris Blackwood. To reserve your space, call 303-444-3535.
