If Apple's strength in the games market is sometimes over-hyped, then Android has the opposite problem. Despite the appearance of seriously powerful Android hardware, many gamers and developers see Android as a second-rate platform, hampered by the wildly differing capabilities of handsets and tablets, and by the weaknesses of Android Marketplace, which can submerge quality games beneath a deluge of copyright-infringing clones, buggy novelty apps and poor quality ports.
Epic's Mark Rein cited the former issue as one of the key reasons why the Unreal engine developer has prioritised iOS over Android, while mobile games publishers like Gameloft have steered clear of Marketplace for their biggest releases, publishing instead on their own online store. The perception is that, while Android devices have potential, Android doesn't have the infrastructure or the premium titles.
This is changing. For one thing, with Android phones outselling the iPhone, publishers are waking up to the size of the user-base. The hardware is getting more powerful, too. Nvidia's dual-core Tegra2 processor might not be quite as powerful as Apple's dual-core A5, but it's still a gaming monster. Tegra2-powered phones like the LG Optimus 2X and Motorola Atrix, or tablets such as the Motorola Xoom, LG Optimus Pad and Asus Transformer, are capable of running console-quality apps, even if the console in question is more PS2 than PS3.
Within the next year Tegra 2 will be superceded by a new chip, codenamed Kal-El, with a rumoured five times the performance of Tegra 2, while next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon processors will also see a dramatic boost in 3D power. By 2012 we can also expect to see new processors incorporating Imagine Technology's PowerVR Series 6 GPUs, which will be more powerful still than the quad-core SGXMP GPU being used in Sony's NGP!
With nVIDIA's investment has also come support. Keen to flog Tegra chipsets, the company is actively supporting Tegra2-optimised games development, while its TegraZone app showcases the best Tegra games on the Android Marketplace. Major mobile publishers, including Electronic Arts and Gameloft, are also showing more confidence in Android gaming and in a revamped Android Marketplace, which is getting better at highlighting the most exciting gaming apps.
Yet the really big new is Sony's entry into the fray. Its PlayStation Suite allows developers to tailor software for specific PlayStation Certified devices, including Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play smartphone and the upcoming Sony S1 and S2 tablets. Some, like the Xperia Play, will have physical controls - addressing the biggest single issue of phone and tablet gaming - while others will offer standardised touchscreen controls.
For Sony, it's a way of competing with Apple in the space between the casual and hardcore games markets, leaving the NGP as the platform of choice for the high-end. It's a strong idea, and with its physical controls the Xperia Play is a fine if slightly underpowered gaming handset. However, as we noted in the review, the actual line-up of PlayStation games is limited, while Sony's approach to finding and buying games is a bit of a mess.
Android is in a 'wait and see' position, with strong devices and strong games, but lacking the momentum that iOS has gathered. With help from Sony and nVIDIA, however, and greater developer support, this situation might still turn around.
Key Titles:
Riptide GP
An excellent jet-boat racer in the mould of classics Waverace and Hydro Thunder, made by the makers of the Xbox Live Arcade title, Hydro Thunder: Hurricane. High speeds and awesome water effects make up for some slightly dull scenery, and the tilt-to-steer handling is excellent.
An old-school 2D platformer with some slick 3D elements, Cordy takes inspiration from Mario, Sonic and Little Big Planet, and this tale of a chirpy Robot has platform-jumping and puzzle-solving fun to spare. An excellent showcase for high-end Android devices.
Still in development, Madfinger's Shadowgun is a gritty third-person shooter in the Gears of War mould, with cutting-edge graphics optimised for dual-core and future quad-core Tegra processors. We're keen to see if the final graphics match these 'target' visuals.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/10/2012 (1716 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
From as high as 100 metres in the air, an RCMP remote-controlled helicopter can take aerial photos and videos of crime scenes, traffic collisions and be an asset in search-and-rescue operations.
Brandon is one of two Manitoba RCMP detachments with an unmanned aerial vehicle. They were officially launched in August, and are proving to be a great investigative tool.
"It certainly gives us an entirely different aspect to look at collision scenes, crime scenes and in air search and rescue," said Cpl. Byron Charbonneau.
"What I like about it is that it's portable. It's something that I can take with me … (Previously) if we needed an aircraft for aerial photos, a lot of times we have to wait for a number of days … You can't hold a crime scene or close a highway for a number of days sometimes, so it's definitely a value-added tool in that regard."
The helicopter is about one metre long and costs roughly $20,000.
It carries a high-resolution digital SLR camera.
Charbonneau facilitates the UAV program for the province, which operates out of Brandon and Dauphin. Training began last February.
Since then, the UAVs have had 32 operational missions.
"We use it routinely for getting aerial photographs of collision scenes, it's also used routinely by the forensic identification section for aerial photographs at crime scenes," Charbonneau said.
Last month, the helicopters were used in a ground search and rescue exercise in Clear Lake.
Charbonneau said they have used the helicopters for some experimental purposes as well, such as using different filters to enable them to see into a body of water.
"If we were looking for a deceased person that had drowned, and as long as the water's not terribly deep and has relatively good clarity, you can see far more from the helicopter that you can from a boat," he said.
Charbonneau said the RCMP opted to go for a custom-modified device to make it suitable for conditions in Manitoba.
The UAV can be flown in extreme winter temperatures and in winds up to 60-80 km/h — conditions which off-the-shelf products cannot handle.
Charbonneau said the UAVs will be a great tool when dealing with dangerous goods spills and contaminated sites.
"The dangerous and dirty areas that you don't want to send humans into," he said.
"That's the ideal situation for the UAV. You can get above a distater and get a top-down view, provide those photos and videos to the incident commanders and then they can formulate a plan."
Charbonneau hopes to expand the fleet of UAVs in Manitoba. Similar units are used by RCMP in Saskatchewan and B.C.

Ordinarily, I consider myself a relatively savvy person when it comes to this stuff. But I'm feeling pretty inept at this moment trying to install a site template. I apologize in advance for what must be a pretty rudimentary question.
I have a domain that's being hosted at 1&1 on which I'd like to install a theme purchased here and edit. (I purchased TRUT html/css, if that matters.)
1&1's website builder is pretty useless in terms of themes, and I purchased the one I want. But it seems I've bitten off more than I can chew, and despite a massive search on this site, I can't seem to find the exact directions on how to get myself set up properly—i.e., what pieces I need to get this theme installed.
In another airhead moment, I will divulge that I intended to purchase a WP theme for this project but ended up with what looks to be an HTML template. and as mentioned, under ordinary circumstances, I would welcome the challenge, but this in case—I am stumped.
Could somebody point me in the right direction here? The domain is too new for me to transfer elsewhere, and without spending more funds on things I may or may not need, I'd love a list of sites, services, items and other things I will need to manage this project properly. I have a Bluehost account, too—and I'm open to designing this site elsewhere and remapping to the URL I want for it, if necessary.
I'm open to just about anything at this point as I'm totally exhausted from two days of this!!
Thank you, folks.

How smart they are does not relate how good of quality there products are, there most concern is how much money they can make doing the least amount of effort, let alone how fast can they take over the world.
Let me ask u this, would u have any pride working as a regular employee In a manufacturing company getting paid a couple dollars per month to go home and barely be able to keep ur family from starving. Or would u want to see thousands of Chinese with open toe sandals, working on "quality" products we buy.
There one of the reason why our state is now so f'd up now.
I'm not talking first hand guys so I won't be throwing out quotes. But from my dads 20+ years of engineering and going over seas experience. I wish it was him typing this first hand but I have forgotten most of the stuff he tells me.
In my opinion, if I want sumtn made of quality, trust me china will be the last place ill be looking at
I will be asking him to refresh my memory
U have every right to be upset trizzuth
^^ this guy knows what he is talking about! I'd love to hear first hand accounts of what it is like over there from your dad. Tell him to write something up, then copy and paste it here!
Meyle Rotors seem ~ok~ so far knock on wood, but already on a few hard highway stops I sense a slight vibration. I really hope their quality department has done their job.

Motorists found themselves in a sticky situation this morning after a lorry carrying glue spilled its load on a main road.
About 19 tonnes of glue spread across the A76 at Sanquhar in Dumfries and Galloway, causing traffic chaos.
The glue container burst when the lorry jack-knifed on the road at 5.30am, police said.
The length of the main route between Dumfries and Cumnock in East Ayrshire was forced to close.
The incident happened in the town centre and diversions are in place around the affected area in Sanquhar.
Traffic is able to rejoin the A76 either side of the town but the re-routing has caused difficulties for large, industrial vehicles.
A Dumfries and Galloway police spokesman said: "The glue container on the lorry has burst and glue spilling is affecting the road surface.
"Road diversions are being put in place, however motorists are asked to avoid the area if possible."
A member of police control staff said the road closure is expected to be in place for several hours.

IMPD investigates reports of sexual predator on Indianapolis near north side
Eyewitness News is tracking numerous reports of a stranger approaching men and boys to offer them sex. It's been an ongoing problem in the 3800 block of North Meridian Street recently.
According to several reports, an African-American male in his mid-twenties has approached other males - in one case, during daylight hours - and asked them about their sexual orientation. After asking if they're gay or bisexual, he then offers to perform a sex act on them. There has been no talk of exchanging money for the act.
Detectives with the Indianapolis Metro Police Department are investigating the reports.
The man is described as having short dreadlocks with poor hygiene. He has been seen driving a green GMC Jimmy or Chevy Blazer with dark tinted windows.
One man who was approached during the day looked online at Indiana's sex offender registry and believes he found his suspect.
Another victim who was approached is a 13-year-old boy who lives in the 3700 block of North Meridian.
A number of sex offenders live in the area. A quick search of Indiana's sex offender registry located ten offenders living within a half-mile radius of the 38th-Meridian Street intersection.

Asking Alexandria - Stepped Up And Scratched
Released November 21, 2011 via Sumerian | Rating: 3/5 | By Rachel Owen
Having been delayed several times, Asking Alexandria's remix album finally sees the light of day and, due to postponements, now features remixes of tracks from both their 2009 debut full-length 'Stand Up And Scream' and this year's massive sophomore album 'Reckless & Relentless'. Unlike many remixes, much of the heavy instrumentation that makes the York five-piece's music so crushing has been left in and built on, with the thundering beats and blips making them crazy. These dubstep reimaginings have some mighty drops in and would send clubs wild. Highlights include Borgore's remix of 'The Final Episode (Let's Change The Channel)' – which you can hear on this issue's covermount CD, Mecha's euphoric version of 'Closure', the hyperactive Celldweller remix of 'A Lesson Never Learned' and the ripping Tomba remix of 'Another Bottle Down'. Elsewhere the likes of Sol Invicto, Big Chocolate, KC Blitz, Robotsonic and others rework these songs. It seems like dubstep and metal are on a collision course and this solid effort shows that it can produce interesting results. I'd still prefer to listen to the original tracks but it shows an impressive willingness to experiment.

Steering Wheel Electrical Switch?
I have a 2001 X5 that I purchased used last year. I was so in love with it that I overlooked the obvious issue of the horn, cruise control and steering wheel radio controls not working. Is there an easy fix to this? I thought there might be an electrical switch in the steering wheel that I could replace myself. My husband is very handy and replaced the battery when it died after one month of use! So I thought maybe there would be an equally easy fix for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Sound like a "clock spring" problem. This is a coiled wiring loom in a housing at the top of the steering column and all the steering wheel controls plug into it. The coiled wires allow the wheel to turn in each direction and still pass the signals on into the vehicle.
The steering wheel/airbag/etc. would need to be removed to allow fitting once you establish this is the problem. Given the age of the vehicle and the cost of $tealer diagnostic charges it might just be better to buy a new "clock spring" and fit/have it fitted and see if the problems disappear.
Thank you!! I will look into having my husband do that for me. I can't wait to see if that fixes the problem. :)
Do you know if replacing the clock spring worked? I have the same issue with my 2001 x5

Seeing that you just bought a battery charger and it's getting colder, take the battery out of the car and charge it over night...inside your house where it's warm.
96 dodge intrepid , 3.5L v6 mpfi , no block heater but im going to order one of those oil pan heaters from summit since its not going to get any warmer anytime soon
i only have a lil napa 6 amp battery charger
with it charging for 20 mins i can crank the engine for around 30-45 seconds before it kills the battery again
touching the gas pedal on the car while cranking puts the ecm in flood clear mode and shuts off the injectors
i just did run outside and try to start it again and it damn near started so im going to leave the charger and heater on it for another hour and try again
im thinking the fuel may be frozen up in the fuel rail by the injectors so i pointed the heater right at the intake/fuel rail
not sure on the battery its a big interstate battery iirc its 650 cca ill dbl check next time i run outside though, the battery is getting weak though as i have notices some slow cranking at first on really cold days but it could have been just cause i had 20-40 oil in the car at the time , i did switchover to 5-30 once it started getting really cold though

Animal Planet attempted to jump on the Sharknado bandwagon over the weekend, but didn't ride it very far as the network's first B-movie Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys drew nowhere near as many viewers as its fake documentaries about mermaids did during the previous two Memorial Day weekends.
According to a report from Deadline, only 1.2 million people tuned in for Blood Lake on Sunday night, much less than the 3.6 million who watched the fake documentary Mermaids: The New Evidence the year before, which was the network's biggest audience ever. The New Evidence was the sequel to Animal Planet's first fake mermaid documentary, Mermaids: The Body Found. Deadline said 3.4 million people watched that faux-doc, which was Animal Planet's most watched program until the sequel trumped it.
Animal Planet was taking a chance by going the movie route rather than producing another fake documentary, and it seems as though it should have stuck with the formula that was working. While Sharknado became an unexpected success after airing on Syfy last summer, Blood Lake didn't offer the same celebrity trashing appeal.
Zap2It pointed out that despite star Shannon Doherty's assertions that the two films are in the same vein, "We've seen Sharknado and Blood Lake is no Sharknado." While Sharknado's very premise (a tornado full of sharks) was pretty funny, the killer lampreys didn't come off as funny or scary or even entertaining in any way.
The original idea of Animal Planet as a network was, ostensibly, to air nature documentaries and other shows about animals, but the channel has performed some strange experiments in order to boost ratings. What are viewers to make of a channel created for documentaries that gains its best ratings ever for a set of fake documentaries telling people that mermaids are real? Did anyone actually believe the shows were serious?

Hello All
I'm Just one of the crowd in the Philly Suburbs.
I've owned guns since I was 15 and finally decided to start carrying.
Have my PA permit and tomorrow I'm taking the class to get the Florida non-resident.
Lately I've been tried several options including the Ruger SR-9, Charter Arms Pit-bull, Charter arms undercover 38 and now the Ruger LCR 357 mag.
Looks like I'm going to settle in with the LCR. It's a sweet weapon that has a trigger pull smoothe as butter.
I'm still in the early stages where it doesn't feel natural carrying a loaded weapon but I'm slowly doing so more and more.

"I would tell him to come," said Reyes, who was at Citi Field for the Mets annual Holiday Party. "He's a good friend. I haven't talked to him, but I would tell him to come." When asked if he thought hitters' struggles at Citi Field would make free agents think twice before signing on with the Mets, Reyes scoffed. "If you're a hitter, you're gonna hit," Reyes said.

Reyes wants Bay
They have one option to make a big splash this off-season and that's Jason Bay. Figuratively, they have placed all their eggs in one basket and this could be the most important negotiation of Omar Minaya's tenure as Mets GM. Without Bay this off-season, which already looks bad becomes an utter disaster and could eventually cost Omar his job ( I hope that isn't too much pressure). But he has an ally and tool that he has failed to use, Jose Reyes played with Jason Bay in the Mets minor leagues in 2002 and considers Bay a friend. Omar give the guy a cell phone and see if he can help get him here, whats the harm....

No. 3 Kansas St. 23, TCU 10
Associated Press | Last updated November 11, 2012
TCU's Gary Patterson started his coaching career as a graduate assistant for Kansas State's first bowl team. Now he's seen up-close how good his alma mater has become three decades later. Heisman Trophy hopeful quarterback Collin Klein ran for two touchdowns and third-ranked Kansas State bolstered its chances in the national championship chase with a 23-10 victory over the Horned Frogs on Saturday night. ''There is a very fine line, and that is a team that can play for a national championship,'' Patterson said after facing the Wildcats for the first time. ''Everyone has been giving them their best shot. I am not sure that was our best shot, but we tried to play at a high level.'' Even with 28 freshmen playing, the Horned Frogs (6-4, 3-4 Big 12) are already bowl eligible in their first Big 12 season. Kansas State is likely two wins away from playing for its first national title. Only a few minutes after No. 1 Alabama had lost, Klein threw a 62-yard pass to set up his first touchdown run. On Sunday, Kansas State (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) will likely take over the top spot in the new BCS rankings. ''I have no thoughts about it whatsoever,'' said coach Bill Snyder, who claimed he didn't even know about Alabama's loss until getting in the locker room after the game. ''I just found out. My reaction was, `Wow!''' said Anthony Cantele, who kicked three field goals. ''It doesn't change what we're going to do. ... We'll enjoy it for what it is, and get back to work.'' Kansas State's game had just started and Klein already had a rare turnover when SEC newcomer and former Big 12 team Texas A&M finished off its 29-24 victory at Alabama, the top team in the BCS standings and AP poll. The Wildcats, 10-0 for only the second time under Snyder, were already No. 2 in the BCS standings, one spot ahead of Oregon. The Wildcats play next Saturday night at Baylor, then have a week off before ending the regular season at home against 19th-ranked Texas. ''If they were going to win, now I want them to win out. ... The team deserves it, but the man (Snyder) deserves it. He's done a lot for not only Kansas State but the state of Kansas period,'' Patterson said. ''I'm proud to be a Wildcat, but I'm a Horned Frog. Kansas State is like a distant relative. I like them, but this is my family right here.'' Patterson, TCU's winningest coach with 115 wins in 12 seasons, started his coaching career as a K-State graduate assistant in 1982, long before Snyder got there. The Kansas native played there the previous two seasons, as a safety and linebacker who played a lot on scout teams and a little on special teams. Klein's third interception of the season came on only the fourth play against TCU. Freshman defensive end Devonte Fields was back in coverage when he made a diving grab for his first career pick. The Horned Frogs failed to take advantage by going three-and-out. By time they got the ball back, they were trailing for good and on way to their third consecutive home loss, all to Big 12 teams. It is the first time since 1997 they have lost three home games in a row in the same season. It was during the timeout for the change of possession after TCU's punt that Alabama's game ended. Right after that, Klein threw a 62-yard pass and then had a 7-yard TD run. When TCU punted again, Tremaine Thompson had a 33-yard punt return to the Frogs 41. The first of Cantele's three field goals, a 41-yarder, made it 10-0. Klein showed no ill effects from an apparent head injury that had knocked him out in the third quarter of last Saturday's victory against Oklahoma State. But outside of the long pass and two TD runs, including a nifty 34-yarder in the third quarter that gave him 19 for the season, it wasn't Klein's best game statistically. The senior quarterback was sacked a season-high three times while completing 12 of 21 passes for 145 yards. He had 15 carries for 50 yards. Klein wasn't made available for interviews after the game. Kansas State was the highest-ranked team to play in Fort Worth since 1970, when No. 2 Texas beat the Horned Frogs 58-0. TCU, which has scored in 252 consecutive games over the last 21 years, didn't score until against the Wildcats until Jaden Oberkrom's 35-yard field goal with 6:59 left. Oberkrom was wide right on a 45-yard attempt at the start of the second quarter. Trevone Boykin threw a 19-yard TD to Brandon Carter with 47 seconds left in the game. Kansas State led 13-0 after Cantele made a 20-yard field goal with 28 seconds left in the first half. That came after Deante Gray tried to field a punt that sailed over his head, and it was recovered at the Frogs 5.

It's still hard to fathom that Team USA , the No. 1-ranked FIBA team, once again struggled to beat Lithuania in basketball but that's exactly what happened on Saturday during Olympic pool play.
It's still hard to fathom that Team USA , the No. 1-ranked FIBA team, once again struggled to beat Lithuania in basketball but that's exactly what happened on Saturday during Olympic pool play.
Just try to grasp it. A team stocked with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul and so forth had to scrap its way past an all-European team that had one NBA player — Linas Kleiza of the Toronto Raptors. A former Duke player — Martinas Pocius — is on the team and several other Lithuanians played on U.S. college teams. Pocius wasn't that good at Duke but he got 14 points against Team USA.
But how does this happen?
The Lithuanians didn't do anything exotic. They ran the high pick-and-roll on offense and played a lot of zone on defense. Oh boy. Here we go again with the pick-and-roll. It's been around forever. Greece ran 43 of them against Team USA in the 2006 world championships. For some reason, Team USA has a difficult time defending the pick-and-roll. Kevin Garnett should be on this team. He's one of the best pick-and-roll defenders in NBA history.
In this technology-based area, teams could break down the pick-and-roll through videotape and other scouting tools. Yet the decades-old attack keeps working.
"A lot of teams don't do the pick-and-roll very well," said Thomasville athletic director Woody Huneycutt, who won five state championships coaching the Bulldog basketball team. "If a team does it well, the pick-and-roll can be hard to defend if the backside help isn't there."
The success of the pick-and-roll lies in the quality of the screens being set. Screens are everything in a halfcourt game. They enable shooters to get open looks at jump shots or clear the path for someone to go to the rim.
Perhaps some of those screens are illegal?
"Probably," Huneycutt said. " They'll call those in high school but you never see them called in the NBA."
Albemarle coach Al Andrew grumbled last season that South Davidson was using illegal screens to free up shots for the Hatfield twins. During one game, Andrew directed the phrase "illegal screen" at the officials dozens of times over the course of the game. Some of that had to be Andrew working the officials. But he must have thought something was there.
But if a team can get away with moving screens, that is a big advantage.
As for zone defenses, they tend to force a team to shoot outside more. If the shots don't fall, that could be a problem. But zones can be attacked. Matt Ridge, first at East Davidson and now at Davidson County Community College, has had his players run baseline alley-oop slam dunks against zones. The play works more often than it doesn't.
Perhaps Lithuanian coach Kestusis Kemzura has showed everyone a blueprint on how to win even if the other team has more talent. Some enterprising NBA general manager ought to hire Kemzura, field an all-European roster, run the pick-and-roll and play zone defense. Maybe it could contend.
Team USA got it right in a 126-97 rout of Argentina to end pool play but the Lithuanians could be out there lurking in the knockout round, hoping for another chance at the United States.
Better watch out.

Tijuana-Ensenada toll road near Salsipuedes under repair
Father's Day gringos react
Mike Madriaga 3 p.m., June 22
Last night we saw The Imposter, the docudrama about Frédéric Bourdin, a missing boy, and the Barclay family of San Antonio, Texas. The trailer is quite amazing, dark, and suspenseful, but the film itself though fluid is very slow. It's like watching a true crimes documentary on cable, but better quality and minus the host voiceover (though voiceover is used). At any rate, there are movies for every mood.
Tonight, Hillcrest Landmark Theatre (3965 Fifth Ave) will feature Robot & Frank, The Intouchables, Killer Joe, The Imposter, and 2 Days in New York. Admission is $8.50-10.50. See the site for showtimes.

Gold Edges Higher Ahead Of U.S. Payrolls Data
Gold prices rose on Friday, recovering some ground lost in four straight sessions of declines as the dollar fell versus the euro, but they struggled for traction ahead of a key U.S. jobs report due later in the day.
A weaker-than-expected reading of the non-farm payrolls data, one of the most closely watched barometers of the U.S. economic climate, could support expectations the Federal Reserve will have to take steps to further boost growth.
These could include another round of quantitative easing, which is seen as gold-supportive due to the pressure it would exert on long-term interest rates - which would keep the opportunity cost of holding bullion at rock bottom - and the dollar.
"If there is a strong disappointment, there could be a positive reaction in gold, because that would revive speculation that in their September meeting the Fed will implement new measures," Peter Fertig, a consultant at Quantitative Commodity Research, said.
However, a very positive figure could also boost gold if it sparks a broad-based rally in financial markets, he added.
"It could be a win-win situation for gold if it comes significantly above or below consensus," he said. "If it comes at consensus, that could be a negative factor. That would indicate that we would have to wait longer for the Fed to move."
A Reuters survey of economists suggested U.S. employers probably added 100,000 new workers last month, with job growth likely picking up only slightly from the previous month.
Spot gold was up 0.4 percent at $1,596.20 an ounce at 7:40 a.m. EDT (1140 GMT), while U.S. gold futures for December delivery were up $8.80 an ounce at $1,599.50.
The metal is down 1.6 percent this week, on track for its biggest weekly loss in six weeks, having erased most of the gains it made after European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi boosted the euro last week by pledging to do whatever necessary to support the single currency.
Investors hoping for decisive action to combat the euro zone debt crisis were then disappointed by a policy statement from Draghi on Thursday. Some had hoped the ECB would immediately revive a sovereign bond buying program.
A retreat in the dollar helped gold recover some lost ground on Friday. The euro rose 0.8 percent but gains looked fragile after Draghi's speech on Thursday.
"Gold's struggle to get back its $1,600 plus price tag also suggests that despite the recent friendlier investor attitude, there are still many out there who need more convincing," UBS said in a note.
"While this week's price behavior highlights that investors are rather quick to get out, it's important to remember that gold is back to levels it was trading at just last week."
"In our view, our more positive outlook - as reflected in our one- and three-month forecasts - still stands, especially with the potential for central banks to act remaining elevated."
Among other precious metals, silver was up 0.6 percent at $27.26 an ounce.
The gold/silver ratio, which measures the number of silver ounces needed to buy an ounce of gold, rose back to 58.5 on Friday as the grey metal underperformed. Silver is close to its cheapest compared to gold in nearly two years.
The CME Group (CME.O) said it will cut margins for COMEX silver futures for the third time since February to help boost trading interest, as stagnant prices sapped appetite investors.
CME, the biggest operator of U.S. futures exchanges, also said it would cut margins on platinum and palladium futures.
Spot platinum was up 1 percent at $1,390.90 an ounce, while spot palladium was up 1.5 percent at $573.75 an ounce.

It\'s interesting that there was actually opposition to this bill.
This is a discussion on "Concealed Carry for Cops" Bill to be Signed by Bush within the Law Enforcement, Military & Homeland Security Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; By Roch Hammond CNSNews.com Correspondent July 22, 2004 (CNSNews.com) - President Bush Thursday will sign the "National Concealed Carry for Cops" bill, a measure allowing ...
By Roch Hammond
CNSNews.com Correspondent
July 22, 2004
(CNSNews.com) - President Bush Thursday will sign the "National Concealed Carry for Cops" bill, a measure allowing about a million off-duty and retired officers to carry weapons out of plain sight.
The Law Enforcement Alliance of America (LEAA), the nation's leading conservative police-based organization, celebrated the passage of the bill introduced by Rep. Randy Duke Cunningham (R-Calif.), an effort 12 years in the making.
Ted Deeds, chief operating officer for the LEAA, stated that the bi-partisan bill had overwhelming support and is great for law enforcement.
Deeds also claimed that most people were unaware that off-duty or retired police officers could not carry guns outside of their jurisdiction. The bill allows off-duty and retired officers to have concealed-carry rights throughout the United States.
He dubbed the legislation "homeland security at no cost", adding that this measure would "thwart criminals and terrorists".
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry made a rare appearance in the Senate, coming off the campaign trail to try to defeat the measure he had originally helped sponsor, Deeds said.
Kerry and his Massachusetts Democratic colleague, Sen. Ted Kennedy, became concerned over cops carrying concealed "sniper rifles and grenade launchers", according to Deeds, prompting Kerry to introduce "poison pill" amendments that would have attached further gun control measures to the concealed carry bill.
Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America (GOA), said the bill was a "step in the right direction" but noted that his group was "reluctant" to get behind the bill.
He said GOA thought the bill would be viewed as establishing a \"privileged class\" of people who had concealed-carry rights, while law-abiding gun owners would not be afforded the same rights.
\"We would rather have had the police working together to get everybody able [to have concealed-carry rights]\" Pratt said. He added that his organization and other supporters of the Second Amendment would continue pushing legislation allowing civilians the right to concealed-carry without the requirement of a permit or license. Pratt pointed to such laws in Alaska and Vermont and called them \"very effective.\"
\"The record of concealed-carry legislation has been very positive overall. We\'ve seen that [in] the states that have adopted those laws ... the results have been uniformly positive,\" Pratt asserted.
He also said that gun control advocates might wish to \"look at the record\" on how concealed-carry has reduced crime before they start \"hollering\" in the future.
As more states are enacting concealed carry measures, the nation\'s violent crime rate has decreased every year since 1991. In 2002, the rate hit a 23-year low.
According to the FBI, right-to-carry (RTC) states have lower violent crime rates on average: 24 percent lower total violent crime, 22 percent fewer murders, 37 percent fewer robberies, and 20 percent fewer aggravated assaults. The five states with the lowest violent crime rates are RTC states.
Thirty-eight states now have laws permitting citizens to have concealed-carry rights, an all-time high.
Repeated calls to the National Rifle Association, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence requesting comment for this article were not returned.

I am still not sure if you can safely carry anywhere in the country. Just because the bill was signed into law does not mean you won\'t run into problems. The law is still new so we don\'t know if any states will give out of state cops or retired cops any problems. I would like to see some kind of universal federal permit issued to cops and retired cops to eliminate confusion.
And to think it originated in Cali. Interesting in deed.
So when it goes into law when will we see the lowly civilans nation wide carry law passed?
About time they finlly got this one going though.

Quote:Grettings.I beleave all that have posted hear clearly put true contemplation into there responses. and with that alone i would like to pay my respect. I would like to share my thoughts/ responses to this subject. First know that there is true knowledge outthere never stop seeking and dont be afraid to travel. next please examine why the standardize forms were created in 1956 the "first" standardized form "24" was astablished for many reasons, one being at competions judging had become quit difficult in that even within the 4 main families (chen,yang,wu & sun) there were and are many variations of every form, to make that worse there are the "frames" small medium and large within each family. aslo some forms may take 2 mins at fast pace or 45 in slow mode. witch would make a competiter have to stop in mid stream to make time requirements. so most standardized forms are based on a 5 min time frame. also note that for respect to the (traditional) forms the "24" strarts of after comencing you go to the left(were tradialaly you would go right) this was to respect The differnce from traditnal and modern. but please note that sence then that has changed take for instance the "42" a highly skille team took the best of each of the 4 families for instance silk realing from chen, grace & strength from yang, flexibilitiy from sun and subtle powers of wu also 5 foot and 8 hand tech from push hands. and since the fighting aspects were not takin out.following comencing you go to the right because although newer then the "traditional forms" they follow all the standards & traditions so it and most other standardized forms can/and in my opion should be considered traditional. The key to traditional and modern is the traning at whole, in any form you should understand each and ever movement for its fighting and healing benifits. also there is a whole lot more to tai chi then any single form, there has to be a package of training, from qi gong, worm up, standing postures (meditating), push hand, combat applications, weopons, so if you are learning any tai chi form but not its applications in my opionion its not traditional no mater how old the form is.

Here is a collection of 159 titles, 227 CDs in the Elvis Presley - Follow That Dream Series (1999-2016). All of these have covers and many have very nice artwork. Several have full booklet scans as well.
I have a collection of 135 titles (142 CDs) issued by Goldmine/Soul Supply record company. This is not a box set but rather it is a collection of albums that are similar in that they all are rare soul compilations by the same company. There are some tracks that are on more than one album but considering the scope and magnitude of this collection, the number of duplicated tracks is small. Some CDs have good artwork, some have none, most have some artwork of varying quality. All are 320 CBR MP3 and are fully tagged. Original post now has added CDs.
The Complete Motown Singles has been a dream project of Motown and soul fanatics for many years, ever since the first decade of Stax/Volt singles was compiled in an impressive nine-disc box set in 1991. The Complete Motown Singles might have seemed like a logical move to soul collectors and fanatics, but it remained in the realm of fantasy for many years because, as enticing as that set was, it was difficult to create.
Chuck Berry fanatics, your ship has come in, and it's the Queen Mary — or maybe we should call it the Queen Maybellene. As you'd expect from the Bear Family label, which specializes in gargantuan reissues, this 16-CD, 396-song box doesn't simply span Berry's career, it embraces virtually every musical note the man has ever issued. You'll find all of his released album tracks and singles, starting with an obscure 1954 recording and including everything from the Chess, Mercury and Atco labels, plus every surviving alternate take. Also here are five CDs' worth of concert performances from 1956 to 1972.

Optus to launch new broadband prices to match Telstra
Optus plans to unveil a new pricing plan for its high speed internet offering within weeks, adding fuel to a possible price war between it and rival Telstra Corp.
Optus chief executive officer Chris Anderson said yesterday the nation's number two telco would launch new charges for its broadband services following price cuts earlier this week by Telstra.
"We are currently reviewing our pricing policy at the moment and I think we will see some new material from Optus over the next few weeks," he told journalists.
"We are going to launch a very very competitive DSL (digital subscriber line) offering."
On Sunday Telstra slashed the charges for its BigPond services to $29.95 a month for high-speed ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) internet.
That came a day before Optus, owned by Singapore Telecommunications, launched its own DSL offering, with a cheapest price of $49.95 a month.
Anderson told the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce luncheon that Optus's entry into the DSL market would drive up the national rate of broadband take-up.
Only seven per cent of Australian households use broadband, but 45 per cent are connected to the internet, he said.
"Invariably, when Optus enters a category that Telstra previously had exclusively, we bring a new vitality and a fresh marketing approach - which drives growth in the total number of customers coming into a category," he said at the luncheon.
Commenting on the third generation (3G) market in Australia, Anderson said Optus would continue to take a prudent and conservative view on moving to the 3G network.
Hutchison Telecommunications is the only player in the Australian 3G market with its "3" branding.
But Hutchison faces an uphill battle as it tries to lift its customer numbers in order to recoup the $3 billion outlaid to get the network up and running.
Hutchison said earlier this week it expected rivals Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, to enter the 3G market by mid-2005.
While Anderson said this was "possible", Optus was not in a hurry.
"The good thing about Australia is ... (we) can have a 3G network up and running in a matter of months if we needed to," he told journalists.
"Our base stations are enabled, we're ready to go. The problem at the moment is the services are not quite there.
"If the market opens then we'll be there and I think there will genuinely be a demand for 3G services."

electric baseboard
I replaced a six foot baseboard. It has power at wire connections but baseboard does not heat up. There are four wires coming out of the wall plus two grounds. I have the whites connected to each other. and the blacks connected. any Idea what is wrong.
Thank you
too many possibilities.
Heater has a switch or thermostat that is off or defective.
Heater is 240 volts and power supply is 120volts.
You hooked it up wrong.
Thermostat on wall is bad.
Heater is defective.
What did the instructions state, that came with the new unit? Also, how many wires go to the thermostat that controls it. Before you replaced it, was the old one working fine?
What are the terminals labeled inside the thermostat? Did you double check to make sure you had the correct wire on the thermostat, connect to the correct terminal on the baseboard?
Are you reading 240v across the wires that come from the wall? Where is the thermostat located, is it wall mounted or housed within the baseboard? At the other end of the baseboard, is the wire from the element tied to the wire that loops back to the junction box you're splicing in? Is this, in fact a 240v heater with a 240 volt supply?
open the other end of baseboard you probably have an open splice

President Donald Trump said his proposal would reduce permitting time for transportation infrastructure projects, and includes an investment in new federal support for infrastructure, which will be matched by significant private, state and local dollars.

Pola Orbis Holdings Inc. wants to acquire a foreign cosmetics brand that doesn't overlap with its existing products in terms of price and concept, President Satoshi Suzuki said in a recent interview.
That would leave the Japanese cosmetics maker purchasing a brand with product lineups in the middle price range.
Pola Orbis plans to boost its business in Asia with the aim of doubling overseas sales to ¥50 billion in fiscal 2020 from some ¥23.3 billion in fiscal 2013.
Currently, Pola Orbis has nine cosmetics brands, each with different price ranges and sales channels. Their mainstay products are daily use skin care products.
Suzuki said the company will consider buying a foreign brand in this category and a different price range.
The company "wants to obtain a brand which has sales channels in growing member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and has a strong identity," Suzuki said.
He also said the company's overseas operations will focus on China and ASEAN, where there is a lot of interest in skin care.
The company will strengthen sales of its mainstay high-priced Pola brand at department stores, including those in Thailand and Taiwan, Suzuki said.
For its midpriced Orbis brand, the company wants to open new outlets at department stores and shopping malls mainly in ASEAN countries, he said.

Memorial Hall is a Beaux-Arts style building in the Centennial District of West Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built as the art gallery for the 1876 Centennial Exposition, it is the only major structure from that exhibition to survive. It subsequently housed the Pennsylvania Museum of Art (now the Philadelphia Museum of Art) and the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art (now the University of the Arts). Since October 18, 2008, the Hall has served as home to the Please Touch Museum. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
The building is located west of the Schuylkill River, at the corner of East Memorial Hall Drive and the Avenue of the Republic.[2]
Memorial Hall was designed by Herman J. Schwarzmann, and is an early example of monumental Beaux-Arts architecture in the United States. Schwarzmann, the chief engineer of the Fairmount Park Commission, also designed the temporary Horticultural Hall for the Exposition.[3] Construction began on 6 July 1874 and was completed for the opening ceremonies on 10 May 1876, at a cost of $1.5 million dollars. President Ulysses S. Grant and other dignitaries presided over the event, which was the first major world's fair to be hosted in the United States.[4]
The exterior is finished with granite and the interior is decorated with marble and ornamental plaster. The building is 365 feet (111 m) by 210 feet (64 m) with basement and ground floor, and 150 feet (46 m) tall at the top of the building's most distinctive feature, an iron and glass dome. Surmounting the dome is the 23-foot-tall (7.0 m) statue of Columbia (the poetic symbol of the United States) holding a laurel branch. At the corners of the dome stand four statues symbolizing industry, commerce, agriculture and mining. Memorial Hall was the inspiration for the Reichstag building in Berlin, Germany.[5]
Memorial Hall was designed to house the Centennial Exposition's art exhibits. The exposition received so many art contributions that a separate annex was built to house them all. Another building was built for the display of photography.[6]
After the Exposition, Memorial Hall reopened in 1877 as the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art and also served as the first home of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which remained there until 1929. The building was taken over by the Fairmount Park Commission in 1958.[7][8] It also was used for a gymnasium and a swimming pool in both wings. In 1982, the building was being used as a police station.[8][9]
Philadelphia Orchestra recordings[edit]
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Philadelphia Orchestra made a number of recordings in a basketball court in Memorial Hall under the batons of Riccardo Muti and Wolfgang Sawallisch. Memorial Hall was used because the Academy of Music, the orchestra's home at the time, was considered not resonant enough.[10]
Richie Ashburn viewing[edit]
In September 1997, a viewing for former Philadelphia Phillies baseball player and long-time broadcaster Richie Ashburn was held shortly after his death from a heart attack in New York City. Several hundred thousand people mourned his death as they walked by his casket in the Grand Hall.
Please Touch Museum[edit]
The Hall fell into disrepair until 2005, when the Please Touch Museum began an $85-million renovation to convert it into its new home. The museum opened its doors to the public on October 18, 2008.[11] Memorial Hall's eastern lawn serves as the home field for Athletic Base Ball Club of Philadelphia, a vintage base ball team which plays by 1864 rules.

Time really is the wanderings of these bodies.
— Plato (referring to the planets in "Timaeus")
Mercury's apparent retrograde motion, which commenced June 7, takes it back home to Gemini on Tuesday after a 19-day dip into Cancer that started on May 29. You are experiencing that dip now. After these 19 days have elapsed, Mercury will have traveled scarcely over six zodiac degrees, an exceptionally slow appearance for the fastest sign ruler after the Moon.
That's how, so far this month, Mercury and everything it corresponds to have been characterized by two parameters: its motion and its potion.
The motion has consisted of one of the frequent apparent reversals which identify Mercury as unique, combined with a uniquely slow period with which Mercury is not readily identified. The potion consists of the cardinal quality and watery elemental nature of Cancer, which is home to the Moon.
Beginning Tuesday, the potion will change radically to the mutable quality and airy element of Gemini even though Mercury's motion will remain uncharacteristically sluggish.
In all probability, Mercury's unusually slow speed during a regression from one sign to another will be something you will notice and should appreciate, for such a combination does not happen every year. In other words, Mercury is symbolically telling you that this is a very special time when it will be possible to both observe and do very special things.
What you observe will be instructive and useful regarding how Mercury manifests in your life. First and foremost, Mercury is a planet, one of the "bodies" whose "wanderings" defined time for Plato. Indeed, the English word "planet" is derived from an ancient term meaning "wanderer," which distinguished the motion of objects in the solar system from the distant and apparently fixed stars.
Mercury is further distinguished from the rest of the solar system by the "mercurial" variety in its wanderings. At its fastest, Mercury's apparent speed on the zodiac is greater than two degrees per day, exceeded only by the Moon.
On the other extreme, Mercury will periodically appear to slow almost to a stop just before and after apparent reversal (or retrograde), something the Sun and Moon never do.
Additionally, Mercury differentiates itself from other planets orbiting the Sun by appearing to retrograde more than once (usually three times) during the course of a single year. Hence, by the wide variances in its speed and the frequent changes of its direction, Mercury is individuated as very different from the other wanderers who have in common the delineation of time.
Mercury's distinctive motion carries over to the mythology behind its name, which portrays an adaptable jack-of-all-trades with indeterminate gender and situational ethics, all of which makes Mercury a reverse avatar of sorts — godlike with human characteristics.
Finally, astrology interprets the role played by Mercury and other heavenly bodies through the field in which they move: the zodiac and its 12 signs.
To paraphrase shamanic astrologer Sheila Belanger, signs function to clothe or costume any planet's archetype. With a change in costume, of course, comes a change of role, which is true whether one speaks of an actor on a stage or of you in your life. Or haven't you noticed how people perceive and treat you differently depending on how you are dressed?
Hence, we live in a special time for Mercury right now and, by implication a special time for you. With its motion apparently reversed, and its apparent speed on the extreme low end of a wide range for an unusually extended period, while also changing signs, Mercury will be displaying an uncommon combination even for its exceptional nature. You might be able to do, or at least perceive, along the same lines.
Because of the many ways Mercury manifests in your life, the next week or so implicitly holds a potential of many uncommon combinations for you. That is not a bad thing.
Indeed, if proverb is valid and variety is the spice of life, this may very well be one of the most exotically seasoned times in your recent memory.
Since astrology indicates how such times do not happen very often, you would be well advised to embrace any exceptions you may encounter or have the opportunity to make while you have the chance.
Mercury is symbolically saying that this is a time to learn from change rather than fear it, and avail yourself of difference rather than avoid it. Who knows, If you make the most of the opportunity represented by Mercury's motion slowing long enough for you to savor a change of potions, you may even find your human characteristics taking on a bit of the divine.

The Canon PowerShot A3200 IS is an easy-to-use 14.1-megapixel compact with a 5x optical zoom that can be sourced online for around £110. That undoubtedly makes it cheap, but does it have the cheerfulness to match?
Well, it's certainly colourful. As the more observant of you may have already noticed, the A3200 is available in a rather fetching pink finish, or indeed an assortment of other bright colours, including aqua and bright orange. Traditionalists, meanwhile, can opt for the plain silver finish.
Given the budget price tag and bright colours, the A3200 is very much a fun point-and-shoot camera targeted primarily at a young, style-conscious audience looking for something easy to use. Small enough to be slipped into a trouser pocket or a handbag, the A3200 is ideal for taking out to record various social gatherings with, from picnics in the park to nights down the pub and parties.Thanks to its 5x zoom there's enough there for more general day-to-day photography too, which affords the A3200 a bit more flexibility.
Of course, the biggest question many prospective buyers will be asking themselves is: given that its budget price, can it really deliver noticeably better image quality than their camera-phone?
Let's take a closer look and find out…

The staff was charming, the apartment was spacious and relatively clean. Another AC in the living room would have been nice, but each bedroom was equipped with its own AC. The continental breakfast was acceptable, we had boiled eggs, orange juice, butter, jam and bread in addition to coffee and warm milk. Parking space inside the hotel garden was limited, but we managed to get our car inside over night.
The hotel is very new and clean, the room is enormous! Breakfast was simple but good, actually better than some buffet breakfast that I had. There was no hair dryer in the room but as soon as I checked in, I asked for one and it's free of charge and I kept it for the 3 days I stayed. The staff was nice too.
This is a very fine location in Tozeur. The hotel is quiet and very clean. Rooms were spotless and beds very comfortable. The staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. Located in the middle of Tozeur, it allows easy access (walk) to the markets and restaurants. Pool was clean and pleasant after a day in city or the oasis. Overall a very nice experience. The access to the hotel is somewhat disappointing as you must come from the "back door" using a back street that has no lights (could be intimidating at night). It would certainly be useful if lights would be installed by the city. However, once you get in, you quickly forget that you had to come from the back door!
location & security great. wonderful pool and spa. very nice room. friendly. poor food (dinner)for this level of hotel. set menu with 2 choices. Buffet only appeared when groups arrived. great breakfast. Best to go out to eat. For the price you would expect a proper restaurant with chef and not just mediocre group food.
This residence is located in the heart of old town of Tozeur, very convenience to access to the old medina, every restaurant in old town on foot. Owner and staff was so friendly and also shown a great deal of hospitality. It was clean and wide inside the room. You can relax on the teracce.
I came to Tozeur not knowing much about what to do or how to get around and the staff were incredibly helpful in making my vacation stress free. They went as far as setting up camel rides for me and offering me cheap tours to all the sites around Tozeur. There was always someone at the front desk more than willing to help with a big smile, and I felt at home. This place really did exceed my expectations. When I arrived I hadn't realized my room didn't have an air conditioner, and I was slightly disappointed. You have to pay an extra 5 euros a night for that. However, the staff are more than willing to change your room for you if you need to. But in the end this want a big deal because the Sahara gets cool during the night, and it actually felt really great to just open your door for an hour before bed and let the fresh cool air in.

Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting front and back sway bars and I was wondering which type of sway bars do you recommend on getting on my 13' wrx sedan.
It will technically be my first mod besides HID but that doesn't count for me. I always like a better feel for my car or should I go and save up for an exhaust? (which exhaust do you guys recommend too?)
Thank you!

U.S. women opt for help at home over office: poll
By Lauren Keiper
BOSTON (Reuters Life!) - Working mothers want to earn a good salary, put a higher priority on getting some help around the house than at the office, and undervalue their work at home, surveys released on Tuesday showed.
Salary is the key factor when job-hunting, according to women who work outside the home, but a family-friendly office, job enjoyment and flexible schedules are also priorities, a survey from iVillage and TODAY.com showed.
Eight out of 10 working mothers earn at least half of their household's income, it said.
A majority of women also are responsible for most household chores, prompting about 70 percent to say they would prefer an assistant at home over one at the office.
"Unfortunately, what working moms have the least time for is themselves," said Kelly Wallace, chief corespondent for iVillage.
Work and home pressures leave nearly half of working mothers feeling unhealthy, and about 40 percent said they do not have enough time with their children, the survey showed.
A Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. survey estimated that around the house, women log more hours cooking and cleaning than men but undervalue their contributions in dollar terms.
Men and women both say they do about $25,000 worth of household chores, but Penn Mutual found women spent more time than men per week on every chore from walking the dog to doing laundry. Continued...

Some folks might sa-ay that I' no good
Time for another confession: sometimes I get the films of Wes Anderson confused with those of P.T. Anderson. Often I have to stop and think a moment about which body of work belongs to which director. This was doubly problematic this year as they both released pictures that wound up becoming Oscar nominated.
Turns out I have a love/hate relationship with the films belonging to Wes. More specifically it goes something like this: love Rushmore, hate The Royal Tenenbaums, extremely indifferent with regards to the rest of his cinematic output. Therefore I entered into watching Moonrise Kingdom with a bit of trepidation. Would I like it? Would I hate it? Would I care enough to feel either way? The star rating at the top obviously steals a bit of my thunder, but I'll try to save my overall verdict for the end of this review.
The thing I loved most about Rushmore was its visual beauty. I was totally blown away when I saw it. In fact, it's quite possibly the first film that made me sit up and pay attention to cinematography. Shot for shot I felt it was perfection. Would I have the same feeling if I watched it again today? I'm not sure, but it definitely left a lasting impression on me all those years ago. The "clever" camera work found in Moonrise Kingdom however is plain annoying.
Here's an idea! Let's place a camera on top of car! Why? Because we can, man! Throughout the film there are these split second shots from strange angles that do nothing to advance to the plot or enhance the story being told. In fact they have the exact opposite effect. They serve to remind the viewer that they're most assuredly watching a movie. Why, using that car example again, would anyone ever be viewing a series of events from the top of a moving car? I could see how this might be an effective visual strategy for an action movie featuring a high speed chase or something, but we're talking about one car traveling slowly down a dirt road by itself. Vantage point of the road ahead as seen from roof: pointless.
Maddeningly however, a large portion of the film visually is deeply striking. There's a hilarious shot near a trampoline that is beautifully framed and a gorgeous cliff side view of a campsite can be seen as the movie's main subjects, two young lovers, chat intimately with one another.
Alright, enough about the visuals already, let's move on shall we?
The year is 1965. The male protagonist is a 12-year-old Khaki Scout orphan named Sam Shakusky who runs away from camp in order to rendezvous with an angry, misunderstood young girl named Suzy Bishop. The two meet up and take off together. Bill Murray, Ed Norton, and Bruce Willis try to track them down while Frances McDormand tries to hide the fact that she's cheating with Bruce Willis from Bill Murray. The rest of the Khaki troop wants to murder the runaways. Jason Schwartzman wants to marry them. Tilda Swinton is brilliant as a social worker hell bent on sending Sam away to an institution. Crazy, quirky shit happens all over place. Fin. Wait, that sounds extremely dismissive.
While Moonrise Kingdom fails to deliver the goods in several key areas, it more than succeeds in a recreating the feel of endless possibility that comes along with lazy childhood summer days, first love, and the firm belief that we live in a just, fair world, where everyone gets their equal share of good fortune. Anderson's overall message? You can beat young lovers down, you can separate them and stack the odds against them, but in the end nothing, not weather, not police, not scout masters, not even a woman named Social Services can keep them apart. Destiny is a powerful force indeed.
An A for effort, but a C for execution Mr. Anderson. Moonrise Kingdom isn't a masterpiece, but it is a delightful film to watch when it stops trying too hard to impress its audience.

Since 2005, the NFL has played six primetime games in the first two weeks of the season. In 2009, these games have been closer than ever. The margin of victory in the six primetime games to date is only 3.3 points per game (20 total points), by far the slimmest margin in the past five years. All six games were decided by six points or fewer. The next closest margin is 9.2 points per game (2005).
Close games have been a theme for the league overall after two weeks of play, as 15 of the 32 games have been decided by six points or fewer, the second highest total in league history (17 in 2000).
History shows that 0-2 teams advance to the playoffs more often than people might think. Since the current playoff format was instituted in 1990, 22 teams started 0-2 and still qualified for the postseason.
The 1993 Dallas Cowboys started 0-2 before winning Super Bowl XXVIII. The 0-2 New England Patriots of 1996 played in Super Bowl XXXI, and in 2001, the 0-2 Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVI. Most recently, the 2007 New York Giants started 0-2 before winning Super Bowl XLII.
Super Bowl XLI MVP and reigning AP NFL MVP PEYTON MANNING (three-time winner; 2003-04, 2008) of the Indianapolis Colts will face Super Bowl XXXIV MVP and two-time AP NFL MVP KURT WARNER (1999, 2001) of the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night. It marks the first-ever meeting of multiple-regular-season MVP and Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks in NFL history. This game will also mark just the fourth instance of multiple-MVP quarterbacks facing off in NFL history.
With a win on Sunday against Tennessee, New York Jets rookie quarterback MARK SANCHEZ would become the first rookie quarterback to start and win his team's first three games of a season. Sanchez is only the fourth quarterback in the past 40 years to win his first two starts of a season, and the second in as many years (JOE FLACCO, Baltimore).
The Jets are seeking their second consecutive win against Tennessee, who started 10-0 in 2008 until the Jets earned a 34-13 win at LP Field in Week 12.
This meeting will mark just the fifth game since 1970 in which a club that handed a 10-0 or better team its first defeat of a season will face them again in the subsequent season.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back WILLIE PARKER went undrafted out of North Carolina but has rushed for over 5,000 yards, good for third in Steelers' history. With 84 rushing yards at Cincinnati on Sunday, Parker will move into third-place all-time among undrafted NFL rushers. Pro Football Hall of Famer JOE PERRY is the all-time leader in rushing yards for an undrafted player with 8,378 yards.
Steelers wide receiver HINES WARD (9,940) needs 60 receiving yards on Sunday to join the exclusive 10,000 receiving yards club. Ward, who has 814 career receptions, would become just the 21st player in NFL history to record 800 receptions and 10,000 receiving yards in a career.
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end ANTWAN ODOM leads the league in sacks with seven, powered by a two-sack effort on Kickoff Weekend against the Broncos and a franchise-record five-sack output in Green Bay. Odom needs 1.5 sacks on Sunday against the Steelers to set the NFL record for most sacks through a team's first three games of a season. The Bengals franchise record for sacks in a season is 13 (EDDIE EDWARDS, 1983).
