What Is Rheumatoid Factor (RF)?
Rheumatoid factor (RF) is a protein produced by your immune system that can attack healthy tissue in your body. Healthy individuals normally don't produce RF, so the presence of RF in your blood can indicate that you have an autoimmune disease. Your doctor may order a blood test to check for the presence of this protein if they suspect you have an autoimmune condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis or Sjogren's syndrome.
Other illnesses that can cause higher-than-normal levels of RF include:
- chronic infection
- cirrhosis, or scarring of the liver
- cryoglobulinemia, or abnormal proteins in the blood
- dermatomyositis, which is an inflammatory muscle disease
- inflammatory lung disease
- mixed connective tissue disease
- lupus
- cancer
Some illnesses may cause elevated RF levels but cannot be diagnosed using this blood test alone. These illnesses include:
- hepatitis
- influenza
- viral and parasitic infections
- chronic lung and liver diseases
- leukemia
Sometimes people without any medical problems produce a small amount of RF. This is very rare, and doctors don't fully understand why this happens.
Why Did My Doctor Order This Test?
Doctors commonly order this test for people who have symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms of this disease include:
- joint stiffness
- increased joint pain in the morning
- nodules under the skin
- a loss of cartilage
- bone loss
- warmth and swelling in the joints
Your doctor may also order tests to diagnose Sjogren's syndrome, a condition in which your white blood cells attack the mucous membranes and moisture-secreting glands of your eyes and mouth. The symptoms of this chronic autoimmune disease are primarily dry mouth and eyes, but they can also include extreme fatigue and joint and muscle pain.
Sjogren's syndrome primarily occurs in women and sometimes appears with other autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.
What Will Happen During the Test?
The RF test is a simple blood test. During the test, a healthcare provider will draw your blood from a vein in your arm or the back of your hand. The blood draw will only take a few minutes, and it involves the following steps:
- They'll clean the skin over your vein.
- They'll secure an elastic band around your arm to allow the vein to fill with blood
- They'll insert a small needle.
- They'll collect your blood in a sterile vial attached to the needle, and they'll send it to a laboratory to be tested for the RF antibody.
- After your blood is drawn, the healthcare provider will cover the puncture site with gauze and an adhesive bandage.
Risks of a Rheumatoid Factor Test
Test complications are rare, but any of the following may occur at the puncture site:
- pain
- bleeding
- bruising
- infection
You have a small risk of developing an infection any time your skin is punctured. To avoid this, keep the puncture site clean and dry. There's also a small risk of lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting during the blood draw. If you feel unsteady or dizzy after the test, be sure to inform the medical staff.
Because vein size varies from person-to-person, some people may have an easier time with blood draws than others. If it's difficult to access your veins, you may have a slightly higher risk of the minor complications noted above. You may feel mild to moderate pain during the test.
This is a low-cost test that poses no serious risks to your health.
What Do My Results Mean?
The results of your test can be determined using a titer, which is a measurement of how much your blood can be diluted before RF antibodies are undetectable. In the titer method, a ratio of less than 1:80 is considered normal, or less than 60 units of RF per milliliter of blood.
A positive test means that your RF levels are high, which is an indicator of rheumatoid arthritis or Sjogren's syndrome. The RF test may be ordered repeatedly to help monitor the severity of rheumatoid arthritis or Sjogren's syndrome. Your doctor can help you understand the results from the test.
Remember that a positive test doesn't automatically mean you have rheumatoid arthritis. Your doctor will take into account the results of this test, the results of any other tests you've had, and your symptoms to reach a diagnosis.

I'm not sure but to me, it seems that the purpose of both products are different. A conditioner is designed - generally speaking - to moisturise and detangle your hair. A cream can be moisturising, but belongs to the category of styling products.
However, I must admit that I don't have any sources for this other than my own experiences.

This is the first of many posts I want to share with you about my favourite products and clothes I took on my holiday. I am starting with a gorgeous gorgeous nail polish from Bourjois!
|Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Enamel 02 Rose Delicat
I adore the formula of the Bourjois 1 Seconde polishes (easy to apply, dries fast, lasts well) and for me, this shade, 02 Rose Delicat, is the most perfect pale pink. Here's a close up:
|Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Enamel 02 Rose Delicat
The look here isn't as glossy as it might have been because I got involved with the beach and swimming pool quite soon after application, so I am going to apply it again now that I am home.
But you can see the gorgeous subtle sparkle of iridescent glitter – it is so pretty!
Check out all the other Bourjois 1 Seconde polishes I love here. You may have noticed that my nails are longer than usual – find out why here!

700r4 problems
i have just rebuilt my 700r4 transmission in my 1988 gmc 1500 4x4, it will not shift out of first. i have took the valve body off and checked the tv valve, and it is not sticking, i have replaced the detent cadle and adjusted it, i have checked the govener and it is not sticking and is in good shape, i am out of ideas and need help in solving this problem before i drop the trans back out of the truck, any help or ideas are greatly needed
2-4 band pin engaged?
The cable on a 700R4 is a throttle valve cable. It is imperative that it be adjusted correctly and have the correct geometry or the trans will not shift right and possibly not at all. If it came out of the truck you put it in then it's probably ok.
You need to take a pressure check of the trans and report back.
700r4 not shifting out of first
is there any way to make the transmission shift manual, any tricks i might be able to do to the vavlebody,
I have a 700r4 in a jeep that has the same problem. No upshift out of first gear. Everything seems to check out. Didn't know the tv cable affected the first shift.
If minimum setting is too loose, the trans may go into a ''fail safe'' mode GM designed in. The trans will then shift late as if the throttle is WOT

David Corn of Mother Jones magazine talks about how he teamed up with James Carter, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, to get the footage posted this week of Mitt Romney insulting half of the American public before a crowd of campaign donors.
Carter put Corn in touch with the person who anonymously posted a video clip of Romney speaking at a May fundraiser in Florida. After Corn and the source became confident in each other, the two talked about how to release a longer version of the video in a way that protected the source's identity. The clip went up on the Mother Jones website within a couple of weeks and instantly had a dramatic effect on Romney's campaign.

Re: Integrate malfunction?
What you get is so called roundoff error because all the calculations are
done in machine precision (this is the precision you get when you run a
program in C with type double variables). Because your problem is badly
scaled (you have small and large numbers in the same expression), therefore
your roundoff error is not zero. We can scale the problem introducing a new
variable, say y, such that, x = y/Sqrt[nitrogen/(k*t)]
In[1]:= amu = 1.661*10^-27;
nitrogen = 28*amu;
k = 1.381*10^-23;
t = 1000;
In[4]:= expr = 4 Pi ((nitrogen/(2 Pi k t))^(3/2)) x^2 Exp[(-1 nitrogen x^2)/(2 k t)] /. x->y/Sqrt[nitrogen/(k*t)]
0.00146422 y
Out[4]= -------------
0.5 y
We need to find the value of y corresponding to 11000:
In[6]:= y0 = 11000*Sqrt[nitrogen/(k t)]
Out[6]= 20.1864
And now we can do the calculation:
In[7]:= Integrate[expr, {y, y0, Infinity}]
Out[7]= 0.
This result is correct when you use machine precision. You cannot get
anything better.
But in Mathematica you can use arbitrary precision numbers. The question is
what precision should be used. Let's look at the value of Exp[-0.5 y^2] at
y = y0:
In[9]:= Exp[-0.5 y^2] /. y ->y0
Out[9]= 3.26725 10
So it seems that precision 100 should be enough.
In[10]:= expr = SetPrecision[expr, 100];
In[11]:= y0 = SetPrecision[y0, 100];
Then we can do the calculations:
In[12]:= Integrate[expr, {y, y0, Infinity}]
Out[12]= 9.68078067 10
The result is positive (although very small).
You can do the same computations with NIntegrate:
In[13]:= NIntegrate[expr, {y, y0, Infinity}]
Out[13]= 9.68078 10
The obtained result agrees with the previous result.

Get More Bang for Your Buck
Posted: September 19, 2011
* Evaluate your budget. Compare estimated monthly income and expenses for the year. Where could you cut back? If you have a cell phone, could you cancel your home phone? Do you have a storage shed filled with seldom-used items? Revisit your budget every month. It isn't meant to be set in stone. It should be flexible, and it needs to work for you.
* Know what you spend. It might sound like a pain, but carry around a small notebook and jot down every cent you spend. If you are spending more than you earn, you will need to cut back somewhere. During a recession, it's especially important to know where your cash is going.
* Save for an emergency. This is money you will use in the event of a job loss, death, divorce or other calamity. Most financial experts recommend you stash away enough money to fund your basic living expenses (food, mortgage or rent, transportation, childcare and utilities) for at least three to six months.
* Negotiate a lower interest rate on your credit card. It costs credit card issuers about $300 to obtain a new customer, so they'd much rather give you a lower rate than lose your business. Know your credit score and aim for a 720. With a good credit score, you will be in better shape for negotiating your rate.
* Stock up on sale items that have a long shelf life such as toothpaste, toilet tissue, paper towels, deodorant, laundry detergent, shampoo, soap and most cleaning supplies.
* Use dishwashers to save time and money. It actually costs less money to run a full load of dishes than to scrub dishes yourself. The savings increase if you own an Energy Star model.
* Save big on prescriptions by choosing a generic drug over a brand name. Depending on the medication, you could enjoy a 52 percent cut in the cost by switching to generic. Also, check into getting a 90-day supply for even greater savings.
* Keep your home and auto coverage with one insurer. By combining your insurance, you can cut annual costs up to 20 percent.
* Distinguish between your wants and needs. Think about each purchase, no matter how small, and make sure it's necessary. If you don't need it immediately, you may not need it at all. So wait a week or two to be sure you aren't making an impulsive purchase. This will also give you time to shop around to see if you can find it for less online or with a coupon to save even more on the purchase.
* Repay your most expensive debts first. Make a list of your debts. Look at interest rates, how much you owe and your monthly payments. Put them in order of how you want to pay them off. Focus your energy on one debt at a time, and once you pay off one, work toward the next. Try to pay more than the minimum payment and avoid late payments at all costs. Powerpay.org is an excellent website to help you organize your debts and pay them off as quickly as possible.

Over the course of my nearly 50 years teaching math at university,
frequently teaching calculus, I seldom if ever found students becoming
more comfortable with the "concept of an integral" by obtaining symbolic
solutions to integrals by hand. In fact, doing the by-hand symbolic
calculations often served to obscure the concept of integral (whether
indefinite or definite) or at the least distract from what the idea is.
On the other hand, such exercises with Mathematica as asking it for the
value of Integrate[Exp[-x^2], x] could be eye-openers -- and emphasize
the (existence) theorem that every continuous function has
antiderivatives, even though an elementary function need not have an
elementary antiderivative.

The Diseases Attacking the Immune System (DAISY) award was founded by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died of Idiopathic Thrombolytic Purpura (ITP). In his memory the family wanted to hold on to the positive aspects of his eight week hospitalization. The skillful and compassionate care that he received from his nurses compelled them to express their profound gratitude through the DAISY award. To support his legacy, his family had the following goals:
The award is presented in over 968 hospitals in all fifty states. Recognition of our extraordinary nurses at JMC is determined by nominations by families, patients, and peers. Nomination forms are located throughout the hospital. The Professional Development shared governance council selects the winner from the nurses nominated based on specific criteria as outlined in the nomination form. The group that presents the nurse with the award includes our Chief Nursing Officer, Nursing Directors and Managers, Nurse Educators, and staff nurses. DAISY award recipients are given a unique DAISY pin, special balloons, and a Cinnabon gift certificate. Nurses are honored with a certificate of recognition, a banner signed by previous nursing recipients, and a hand carved stone Shona sculpture entitled "A Healer's Touch". The Shona sculpture is hand made in Zimbabwe, symbolizing the uniqueness of each winner. No two Shona sculptures are the same.
The DAISY award for Extraordinary Nurses Certificate and Pin
The Shona Statue " A Healers Touch"

Which temp is normal for a 500?
I've got a 500 in my -68 SDV, it´s in 188F when I drive and in 212F when I've been standing still on idle in 5-10 minutes. When I drive again it will be in 203F. And after awhile it's about 190-195F, is it ok? How high would it be without damage? I've got a new 180F therm and a new radiator cap, but I'm missing the radiator shroud. Just little worried for overheating at idle, when the car goes very slow. It's not boiling jet, but I can hear a "buzzering" sound somewhere when it's hot. The vacuum advance is ok.

Re: Which temp is normal for a 500?
Sounds good, really. The service manual for the '68 caddy says the thermostat was designed to open at 217 degrees coolant temperature. I wouldn't worry unless the temperature continues to rise after you start accelerating.

Why we should ban smoking outside; AFL boss pledges to clean up player drug use

Would the Nanny State please stop telling us what to do! And can the do-gooders stop encouraging them.
If you do not smoke and hate smoking, just turn the other cheek to those who do. Can we please start practcing what is constantly being preached to us by government, that is tolerance of others...

Evidence that Apple is releasing two new iPhone 6 models?
Date: Thursday, August 14th, 2014, 08:07
Category: Apple, Hardware, iPhone, iPhone 6, Rumor
Countless rumors and reports, including ones here on the PowerPage, have all but taken it for granted now that Apple will be announcing two new models of iPhone next month. Spy photos and prototype cases have been pointing to a 4.7 inch (screen) model and a 5.5 inch model, the latter being Apple's entry into the "phablet" market. While the more reasonable seeming 4.7 inch iPhone 6 hasn't been confirmed, an agency in Thailand says it has absolute proof that two different models exist.

1 Linux IOMMU Support 2 =================== 3 4 The architecture spec can be obtained from the below location. 5 6 http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/vt-directed-io-spec.pdf 7 8 This guide gives a quick cheat sheet for some basic understanding. 9 10 Some Keywords 11 12 DMAR - DMA remapping 13 DRHD - DMA Remapping Hardware Unit Definition 14 RMRR - Reserved memory Region Reporting Structure 15 ZLR - Zero length reads from PCI devices 16 IOVA - IO Virtual address. 17 18 Basic stuff 19 ----------- 20 21 ACPI enumerates and lists the different DMA engines in the platform, and 22 device scope relationships between PCI devices and which DMA engine controls 23 them. 24 25 What is RMRR? 26 ------------- 27 28 There are some devices the BIOS controls, for e.g USB devices to perform 29 PS2 emulation. The regions of memory used for these devices are marked 30 reserved in the e820 map. When we turn on DMA translation, DMA to those 31 regions will fail. Hence BIOS uses RMRR to specify these regions along with 32 devices that need to access these regions. OS is expected to setup 33 unity mappings for these regions for these devices to access these regions. 34 35 How is IOVA generated? 36 --------------------- 37 38 Well behaved drivers call pci_map_*() calls before sending command to device 39 that needs to perform DMA. Once DMA is completed and mapping is no longer 40 required, device performs a pci_unmap_*() calls to unmap the region. 41 42 The Intel IOMMU driver allocates a virtual address per domain. Each PCIE 43 device has its own domain (hence protection). Devices under p2p bridges 44 share the virtual address with all devices under the p2p bridge due to 45 transaction id aliasing for p2p bridges. 46 47 IOVA generation is pretty generic. We used the same technique as vmalloc() 48 but these are not global address spaces, but separate for each domain. 49 Different DMA engines may support different number of domains. 50 51 We also allocate guard pages with each mapping, so we can attempt to catch 52 any overflow that might happen. 53 54 55 Graphics Problems? 56 ------------------ 57 If you encounter issues with graphics devices, you can try adding 58 option intel_iommu=igfx_off to turn off the integrated graphics engine. 59 If this fixes anything, please ensure you file a bug reporting the problem. 60 61 Some exceptions to IOVA 62 ----------------------- 63 Interrupt ranges are not address translated, (0xfee00000 - 0xfeefffff). 64 The same is true for peer to peer transactions. Hence we reserve the 65 address from PCI MMIO ranges so they are not allocated for IOVA addresses. 66 67 68 Fault reporting 69 --------------- 70 When errors are reported, the DMA engine signals via an interrupt. The fault 71 reason and device that caused it with fault reason is printed on console. 72 73 See below for sample. 74 75 76 Boot Message Sample 77 ------------------- 78 79 Something like this gets printed indicating presence of DMAR tables 80 in ACPI. 81 82 ACPI: DMAR (v001 A M I OEMDMAR 0x00000001 MSFT 0x00000097) @ 0x000000007f5b5ef0 83 84 When DMAR is being processed and initialized by ACPI, prints DMAR locations 85 and any RMRR's processed. 86 87 ACPI DMAR:Host address width 36 88 ACPI DMAR:DRHD (flags: 0x00000000)base: 0x00000000fed90000 89 ACPI DMAR:DRHD (flags: 0x00000000)base: 0x00000000fed91000 90 ACPI DMAR:DRHD (flags: 0x00000001)base: 0x00000000fed93000 91 ACPI DMAR:RMRR base: 0x00000000000ed000 end: 0x00000000000effff 92 ACPI DMAR:RMRR base: 0x000000007f600000 end: 0x000000007fffffff 93 94 When DMAR is enabled for use, you will notice.. 95 96 PCI-DMA: Using DMAR IOMMU 97 98 Fault reporting 99 --------------- 100 101 DMAR:[DMA Write] Request device [00:02.0] fault addr 6df084000 102 DMAR:[fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set 103 DMAR:[DMA Write] Request device [00:02.0] fault addr 6df084000 104 DMAR:[fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set 105 106 TBD 107 ---- 108 109 - For compatibility testing, could use unity map domain for all devices, just 110 provide a 1-1 for all useful memory under a single domain for all devices. 111 - API for paravirt ops for abstracting functionality for VMM folks.

Waterfront Apartment.Posted Feb 1, 2017
Pros: No hotel facilities, but quality apartment with 2 beds/2baths.
Location: Iconic Waterfront on the 'doorstep', with any restaurants, shopping and numerous attractions. Cape Town also very accessible by foot or taxi.
Great location in the Marina close to V & A Waterfront. Close enough to walk in Cape Town centre.

Great placePosted Dec 4, 2016
Pros: Large apartment in a well maintained complex with excellent security. Very close to the action in the V&A Waterfront Marina
Cons: The agency are not on site, so when checking in/out you have to wait for someone to drive from their offices to the complex.
Location: There's loads, look at a guide book.
Superb facility for those who don't need the extra services that come with a hotel, such as breakfast, concierge or restaurant/bar. Self contained apartment in a very well maintained complex. Security is high so you will feel very safe. We didn't use the pool or leisure facilities so could not comment on those, but they did look limited. There was a daily service on the apartment to refresh towels and toiletries, plus make the bed and give the place a general tidy up. The few staff we did interact with were pleasant enough, but contact with any one was necessary apart from check in and check out. The one minor complaint would be that staff from the agency running the bookings are not on site, and so when you arrive you may need to wait for someone to drive from their offices to the apartment complex. If we go back to Cape Town, this will be the first option that I'll be checking out.

The worst ever experiencePosted Aug 20, 2016 on Hotels
waterfront village is not a bad idea, but when a third party management company is involved, it just gone way too bad. First we booked under one reservation 2 units and they gave us the Units in two separate buildings and we have advised them we are traveling as a family but no one bothered to do anything. Second & one first day and in one of the units wifi was not working and by calling the office the in charge was us playing with us and was just arrogant & refused to give us time to visit the unit and solve the issue and hang over the call ?! however when I reached to water front security office to reach to his boss in two minutes he was there and just 5 minutes before that he was refusing to give us time frame to fix the issue. Third, and in two days in a row the cleaning staff was opening our bags and since they force the opening two bags has been damaged and police was involved. Fourth, and in our last two days no wifi was available at all so we can't manage our reservations and get connected to the world and as usual from the management company no support or alternatives been provided. Fifths, one of the units was not having electricity from midnight to the following next day afternoon till it came back. And at last and at one of the units there are workers working from 8 am and drilling start at 9 am so as a person on holiday he must leave the room at or before 9 as the sound of hammering and drilling won't even makes you stay at the unit and forget the comfort at all
Comment from Hotel Management
Aug 31, 2016 by General Manager, Hotel Management
Dear Valued Guest Thank you for staying with us. My apologies for the issues you have mentioned. I would like to make you aware that we operate apartments and we do not advertise ourselves as a hotel which has all apartments in one block. It is therefore not possible to assure you that both apartments can be on one building. The Marina is a residential set up similar to estates where different owners own apartments and we also happen to own apartments within that set up. It is not a hotel. Every operator has their own share of apartments and don't own the whole block individually. On the matter of the bags zips. There was no evidence that this was done by our staff as your bags could have been damaged in transit from different airports you crossed. It is not a secret that bags get tampered with at airports worldwide. Our complimentary Wi-Fi was available with clear instructions in the apartments. I understand were your frustrations are emanating from as you indicated your displeasure the moment you arrived and realized that the 2 apartments booked were in different blocks, thereafter everything we tried was not good enough.

Program Seeks Cost-saving Ideas from Federal Workforce
Program Seeks Cost-saving Ideas from Federal Workforce
WASHINGTON, July 13, 2012 – To achieve additional cost savings and improve operations throughout the government, the White House this week launched the fourth annual SAVE Award competition.
In 2009, President Barack Obama established the Securing Americans Value and Efficiency Award program to seek cost-cutting ideas from the federal workforce.
Elizabeth A. McGrath, DOD deputy chief management officer, said the program has become a mainstay in an era of budget uncertainty.
"The SAVE Award is particularly relevant in austere times," McGrath said. "In the face of fiscal constraints, the department must continue to seek innovative ways to save money, eliminate redundancy and optimize our operating environment."
The SAVE Award program, McGrath added, provides an opportunity for everyone to contribute ideas and make a difference.
Participants can submit and vote on ideas via the SAVE program website. Judges then narrow the best ideas to a final four and citizens vote online to choose the winner who will travel to Washington to present the idea to the president.
More than 75,000 cost-cutting ideas have been submitted during the past three years.
Scores of the most promising and innovative ideas have been included in the President's budget, officials said, specifically in the Cuts, Consolidations, and Savings volume.
The SAVE Award competition will run through July 24.

Keith Urban Jokes About Nominations From the Highway Don't Care
Keith Urban collaborated with Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift on "The Highway Don't Care," which is now nominated for three awards at this year's ACM Awards and he jokes, "I've never been nominated so much for a guitar solo in my life."
Keith says when Tim first approached him about playing guitar on the song, "That (was) just one of those magical little moments, you know? I mean, when I heard the song, I went, 'Gol', this is a great song,' and I heard it before Taylor [Swift] was on it. So, the first time I heard the whole thing completed was on the radio, and it sounded amazing, and I just thought, 'Gosh, I think this song's gonna do really well."
From Keith's lips to country music's ears. "The Highway Don't Care" is up for "Single Record of the Year," "Vocal Event of the Year" and "Video of the Year" at this Sunday night's ACM Awards, which will air live from Las Vegas on CBS.

WOW…WOW…double WOW! LOVE your use of the word "bashing". My goodness, Gary. I'd laugh if your use of it wasn't so absurd. Teacher bashing? Really? I mean, like republicans are out there trashing and "bashing" teachers? Saying bad, horrible and demeaning and terrible things about our nation's teachers? Where in the heck are you getting that???? Gay bashing? Again…really? C'mon, man. Republicans aren't anti-gay. Most republicans are anti-gay marriage and don't have a problem with gays. I mean, like it or not, a great many republicans are Christians and believe in things in the Bible and yep…again, like it or not and regardless what the bologna the radical liberal/progressives put out…the Bible speaks against that. Democrats talk all kinds of crap against republicans not being "inclusive" and "accepting", but when republicans don't believe as they do, just how "accepting and "inclusive" are they? Then there's immigrant bashing. Um…kinda left out "illegal" in that, didn't ya? And, republicans aren't "bashing" these people being in our country illegally…you know, against our laws…republicans just want our laws enforced. That's too much to ask? Really? They're ILLEGAL, Gary…not people that come here LEGALLY trying to get their rights to live here and ultimately get citizenship the way our laws say they are supposed to. Oh, yeah, and then you had to go to the "climate change" card. Trust me, my friend…a whole bunch of democrats as well as republicans don't buy the so-called "science" that is presented about this. There are so many scientists that present an alternate view of this, no one really knows the real deal on it. I mean, how did all the climate change we've had in known history of Mother Earth happen even when humans weren't present or even before we had all these terrible, horrible gasses we're supposedly making now?
Speaking to the young people now being more democratic than republican, it isn't a surprise. I mean, look at the number of today's young people on every kind of entitlement there is to offer in our country now. The democrats have been masterful in getting these people everything and anything they need via government. It's no longer a goal to be "on your own" as a young person. The goal is to get to where you want to be through government support. We've given our young a "no pain" path to adulthood. And, as a result, just so many believe that unless they continue to vote for the democrats that support more and more government involvement and assistance in their lives, they'll actually have to be achievers and have to start low and work hard to become successful. It's just too much to ask in this day and time according to many democrats. I don't blame these kids for being democrats. They'll get everything they want if they can keep the mean, unfair, "personal responsibility" folks out of office.
The democrats have sought after and have gained the support of just about every demographic group through coddling to them. Next up? Muslims. No matter that they are anti-gay and anti-women. They're the next big voting block and by God, they're going to be sought after and supported by the liberal/progressives because, hey, that's where the democratic party can gain more votes to get into power. Guess the democrats think they can deal with their bigotry and hate at a later date.
My God!!! 30 years ago if anyone would have told me our country would have looked like it does now, I'd have bet my house against it. I'd have ended up homeless, I guess.
The youth vote has always been somewhat to the left of mainstream. Sir Winston Churchill probably put it best when he said, "If you are not a socialist at 20, you have no heart; if you are not a conservative at 40, you have no brain." The polling I have seen, though seems to show a disallusionment of the youth with the left since the Obama elections.
France just had a blue wave – a vote wave of the right. The American media reverses the universal colors of the political spectrum – red for the left and blue for the right.
I liked the sentence, Gallup noted "Young adults are not more Democratic solely because they afre more racially diverse." Then I had to read the article 3 more times and could never find out why other than diversity. You never point it out. What else is there that accounts for the change. Once the youth find out that socialist policies of the Democratic Party put them in debt for life it won't take long. Keep up the lies because that's all Democrats can do. Obama has probably done more for the Republican Party than Ronald Reagan could have ever done.

Bingo Sites that Pay Great in 2017!
Online bingo is a game that is best enjoyed when you play for big jackpots and get generous bonuses. We are going to do our best to help you get both of these divine treats, not to mention other goodies as well. Have a look at our list of new bingo sites that are sure to pay great in 2017 – all regulated in the UK!
There have been numerous trends in the online bingo industry that gives us loads to look forward to in 2017! There has been the introduction and development of mobile bingo which has been super exciting, as well as the rise of social bingo. We continually see updates on new bingo sites 2017 such as the increase in alternative payment methods available, better prizes and bigger bonuses! We will surely see more of that in the upcoming year, and you can trust us to keep you updated.
This has been one of the best developments in bingo we have seen and it's made it even more popular than before! With mobile bingo apps – players can make deposits, use the bingo chat facility, play a selection of games and more all from their hand held device.
As well as applications – you will also find that there are now HTML5 sites – which essentially means as long as you have a Smartphone, all you need to do is enter the URL and you will automatically be directed to a mobile friendly landing page. This alone has done a lot for bingo – the convenience factor has made a huge difference in people playing far more regularly and joining sites. Since it's such a common feature now – it's going to be a must for new bingo sites to offer this.
Since there are so many bingo sites for you to choose from these days – they need to do something to stand out from the crowd and lure you in! This has seen an increase in some hefty no deposit bingo bonuses. This means that players can get a feel for the site before spending any of your cash.
There are also now different ways for you to get extra bonuses. As well as higher bonuses on offer there has also been the introduction of wheels, decks and challenges to take part in where you can scoop extra bonuses.
Also, a good option to look out for is loyalty bonuses. Whenever you join a new bingo site, take a look at their VIP scheme – you might gain a whole lot of bingo bonuses by being a regular!
As well as this there was also the rise of social bingo. You will now find applications on Facebook that are dedicated to bingo and slots. You have the option to either play for real money or even for a virtual currency if you like bingo just as a pass time. This gives you even another avenue for you to enjoy bingo and of course brings the social element into it.
You will see that there has been some big brands coming into this arena such as Bingo Blitz and Bingo Island. We are sure that there will be more on the way too. There have also been some new companies looking to take a crack at it – and it's already become an extremely competitive market.
Since pretty much everything is online these days it's important for operators to ensure that they have some alternative payment methods for them to utilise in order to allow them to make safe and secure transactions. One of these is PayPal, which appears to be one of the favourites so far. It means that you don't need to continuously enter in credit or debit card details just remember those log in credentials for PayPal. Another is Ukash which acts as a prepaid card. This allows users to track their expenditure easily and again is a completely secure way of transferring funds over bingo sites.
The best bingo sites are no longer just focused on traditional style bingo games – they have loads more to offer. There are different variations on offer including the likes of Deal or No Deal Bingo and Lucky Numbers Bingo. There have also been much more time spent on developing casino games. So much so – in fact that you will find on some sites that they have sections completely dedicated to slots and casino games like Costa and Bgo Bingo. The games themselves are also improving with far more impressive graphics and animations not to mention special advanced features.
Everything needs to be big and bold to catch the attention of prospective players since there is a sea of sites to choose from. The jackpots have become life changing and the prizes fantastic, Bingo Diamond for instance hosts a huge £10,000 jackpot game every single month. Players can now look forward to the likes of trips of a lifetime, technological giveaways and much more. Since people are spending more on their sites – they can now afford to be a bit more generous with the prizes they are dishing out.
Another new trend we're seeing more and more of is free bingo sites. Gone are the days where you had to spend a good amount of cash to start playing. Now you can log onto the best bingo sites in the biz, open an account and play free of charge, for real cash prizes! You can read more about this here.
All of these things give you loads of treats to look forward to this year. There's no doubt about it – 2017 is a busy year in the online bingo and mobile bingo world, and we hope we gave you some good tips to help you out. It seems that new bingo sites are going to be just as exciting – keep checking this site for updates!

Lord Hoffmann once said, with reference to interpretation of contracts, that the "fundamental change which has overtaken this branch of the law" as a result of Lord Wilberforce's speech in Prenn v Simmonds [1971] 1 WLR 1381 was not always "sufficiently appreciated". The same could have been said of recent decisions at first instance on the corporate veil (particularly Ben Hashem v Shayif), until two magisterial judgments of the Court of Appeal this year: VTB Capital v Nutritek and, last week, Petrodel v Michael Prest. VTB was concerned with a different problem – the consequences of lifting the corporate veil, but approved (with one exception that is irrelevant here) Munby, J's six principles that set out when a court is entitled to lift the corporate veil. In Petrodel, which was concerned with this very question, the Court of Appeal (Rimer and Patten LJJ, Thorpe LJ dissenting) has confirmed that this is the law.
There is no doubt that this was a hard case, and an appeal to the Supreme Court is expected. Yet, unless there is statutory language or legislative history to which the court was not referred, the Court of Appeal's conclusion is correct. Mrs Yasmin Prest, in the course of divorce proceedings, sought an appropriate share of the assets of Mr Michael Prest. The power of the High Court (Family Division) to grant this relief is found in section 24(1)(a) of the Matrimonial Causes Act, 1973, which provides that a court may make an order that
a party to the marriage shall transfer to the other party, … such property as may be so specified, being property to which the first-mentioned party is entitled, either in possession or reversion" [emphasis added].
Mr and Mrs Prest had lived a life of luxury; Mr Prest, an international businessman, had, for "conventional reasons including wealth protection and tax avoidance", established a large and complex network of group companies with circular ownership. Petrodel Resources Ltd ["PRL"], one of these companies, owned immovable property in London, as did other group companies ["the Petrodel companies"]. Mrs Prest sought an order declaring that these properties, which were owned by the Petrodel companies, were in fact "property to which Mr Prest is entitled, either in possession or reversion" and on that basis a direction to the companies to transfer them to her. Relying principally on certain obiter dicta in Nicholas v Nicholas [1984] FLR 285, Moylan, J. made this order. In a powerful judgment, Rimer LJ explains that the judge fell into a "fundamental error".
The most important factual material consists of the following undisputed findings that the judge made:
(a) Mr Prest was a one-man controller and ultimate owner of the Petrodel companies. He had the "power" to cause the companies to take any step it was entitled to take, including the transfer all their assets to him. He had not exercised this power;
(b) All directors of the Petrodel companies acted on the instructions of Mr Prest, and none of the Petrodel companies had any significant minority interests;
(c) The former matrimonial home was purchased in the name of PRL, but was held in trust for Mr Prest;
(d) Seven other immovable properties in London, the subject matter of the appeal ["the seven properties"], were also purchased in the name of the Petrodel companies, but there was no finding that these were held in trust for Mr Prest;
(e) There was no "impropriety" in the creation or use of the Petrodel corporate structure; it was set up "for conventional reasons including wealth protection and avoidance of tax";
(f) Mr Prest had repeatedly and wilfully failed to make disclosure of his finances in the divorce proceedings; he deliberately misled the Nigerian courts into issuing orders that he could use as an excuse for not complying with his English disclosure obligations; "his evidence was both deceitful and shambolic"
The law on when a court may lift the corporate veil has, in recent years, crystallised around the six principles set out by Munby, J. in Ben Hashem. In essence, these are that a court may not lift the corporate veil simply because the interests of justice require it, even if there is no "unconnected third party" involved in the company, and may do so only if there is "relevant impropriety", that is, impropriety in the use of the corporate structure (and not unconnected impropriety, such as fraud not involving the use of the corporate structure). As the Court of Appeal explained in Adams v Cape Industries, a court, absent statutory language that permits or compels a different approach, may lift the veil only on these grounds. The common law, as we have noticed, is substantially narrower than the Indian law on the point, because it requires a finding of not impropriety per se but of impropriety in the use of the corporate structure.
In Petrodel, it was clear that there was no "relevant impropriety" in this sense. As Rimer LJ explains, dismissing a respondent's notice that sought to overturn the judge's findings to this effect, Mrs Prest would have had to demonstrate that the Petrodel companies were established or used for the purpose of disguising the fact that the beneficial owner of their properties was Mr Prest; it was not enough that "in reality" the property belonged to the husband (as Rimer LJ pointed out, such imprecise expressions are not helpful), nor that "justice" required that Mrs Prest have a share of the property that Mr Prest had the "power" to use for himself. However, Moylan, J., despite finding that there was no relevant impropriety in the Ben Hashem sense, proceeded to lift the veil, reasoning that certain dicta in Nicholas, and the duty of the Family Court to make a fair apportionment of assets, allowed him to do so.
The importance of the case lies in Rimer LJ's clear exposition of the law: if there is no relevant impropriety in the Ben Hashem sense, a court cannot lift the veil, no matter how compelling the "justice" of the case, and the Family Division is not entitled to apply different principles or disregard the law on corporate veil simply because it is not exercising commercial jurisdiction. The only real authority to the contrary, on which the judge relied, was Nicholas. In that case, the husband was a 71 % shareholder in two companies; the remainder was owned by unconnected business associates. The Court of Appeal held that the company's property could not be treated as the husband's property, but Cumming-Bruce LJ, relying on "abundant authority" (which was not identified) said that this can be done by lifting the veil if there are no "minority interests" in the company. As Rimer LJ correctly notes, Nicholas therefore implicitly recognises that the property of a company is not property to which a controlling shareholder is entitled unless the veil is lifted. The observation that the veil can be lifted if there are no minority interests is contrary to the established principle that a one-man company is as much a company as any other; as Rimer LJ points out, "apparently a heretical departure from the Salomon principle". The "abundant authority" to which Cumming-Bruce LJ referred was perhaps Lord Denning MR's observations in Wallersteiner v Moir, which, however, like DHN Food Distributors, are not good authority in view of the subsequent decisions in Adams and now VTB (see para 132). These dicta in Nicholas, therefore, involve a "head-on disregard of Salomon" and the potential injustice caused by the inability of the court to distribute corporate assets to a claimant for divorce is "no basis for assuming a jurisdiction to pierce the corporate veil… [t]he only implicit justification is that family justice requires it. That, without more, is no justification".
As to s 24(1)(a), Rimer LJ held that the word "property" used in that section cannot mean something other than what property means in general; and, as to the submission that the Family Division need not follow the authorities on corporate veil, "there is…but one law and but one High Court and all its divisions must apply the same law". As to the judge's reasoning that Mr Prest had the "power" to cause the companies to act as he wished them to, Rimer LJ explains that "power" is not "property" ("it is heretical to suggest that the total control that a single individual is entitled to exercise over the affairs of his one-man company is a feature resulting in the company's assets becoming assets to which he is 'entitled'").
To summarise the Court's conclusions: section 24(1)(a), in the ultimate analysis, is a simple provision – if the company is "entitled", in possession or reversion, to certain property, it follows that Mr Prest was not, and vice versa. The judge found, and the Court of Appeal accepted, that the matrimonial home was held beneficially for Mr Prest although legal title was in the company; this could properly be described as property to which Mr Prest is "entitled". There was no such finding with respect to the other properties held in the name of the Petrodel companies. It followed, unless the corporate veil was lifted, that the Petrodel companies were "entitled" to those properties and that Mr Prest was not. The corporate veil cannot be lifted unless the principles in Ben Hashem apply. The judge accepted that there was no relevant impropriety; therefore Ben Hashem does not apply. It is irrelevant that the husband was in sole control of the companies; that he could at will obtain money from the company; that he could cause them to transfer their assets to him. Unless this power is exercised, the property remains the company's, not Mr Prest's. If this produces injustice, as Thorpe LJ considers it does (one should, however, note that the companies may have creditors whose priority is indirectly defeated by matrimonial orders such as the one Mrs Prest sought), that is a matter for the legislature.

This one might not make it into the next iPhone, as we know OmniVision had quality assurance and production capacity problems with it a month ago, which might have forced Apple switching to alternative camera module suppliers, like Sony. The OV8850 is much slimmer than its predecessor, at 0.19" (4.7mm), so, considering that the camera module lately appears to be the thickest part of phones like the Samsung Galaxy S II, we can expect even svelter devices in the future, which the rumors for a thinner iPhone in September seem to confirm.
The new 1.1-micron sensor is packing some other geeky features as well, like "an on-chip temperature sensor, two PLLs, context switching, 4 Kbits of one-time programmable memory, lens shading correction, defective pixel cancelling, black sun elimination, and alternate row exposure for high dynamic range (HDR) video and still image capture".
It's anyone's guess if OmniVision managed to ramp up capacity enough since July for Apple to have included the OV8850 as its next iPhone camera module, but we should know soon enough if we are taking pictures with a Sony, OmniVision, or some combination in the first batches of this year's iPhone edition.

Guest Anchor Controller - Foreign Controller Control Path Down
We have a Cisco 4400 series wireless controller deployed as a Guest Anchor in a private DMZ. We have 13 foreign controllers anchored to this for Guest
Wireless. We recently anchored 17 additional controllers to this Anchor controller. Since we have done that, periodically on just 3 of the foreign controllers, the control path shows down on the mobility peer, then comes back up. We have had this issue in the past, but it resolved itself. However, now we are seeing this issue again. Are we reaching a limit on EoIP tunnels? I have read that there is a max of 71, and that is per controller, not SSID. We do have a firewall in the middle but all necessary ports are open.
We have had this issue for quite sometime, it just does not happen frequently. Since we have added the additional controllers, it is now happpening very often, but only with 3 controllers. There is not much in common with these 3 controllers. 2 are 4400 series, and 1 is a 5508. All 3 are local on a campus LAN, different networks. Could it have anything to do with memory or utilization?

Hey all,
I've got a pretty accurate PP2 blaster as part of my costume. I've painted it and added a leather strap, but I'd like to get another shoulder stock so I can have a strapless version. Would any of the artisans out there be interested in making a cast of the gun from mine? I would probably take some work because as I said I added the leather strap in a pretty permanent way, but I imagine it could be done. I got it from AFFO$, and thats about where the lineage kinda peters out. I don't know where it originally came from and I've asked before and no one can place where it came from, so I don't think they would be anyone objecting to having it (re)cast. Then once you have the molds, you would have my ok to sell copies to anyone who might be interested in this blaster- its not readily available like the other Fett blasters, but I don't know what sort of reception it would get if offered. I just want another copy of it ro make a strapless version. If anyone is interested drop me a line, I'd preferably like to go with someone already estalbished in the Fett-Prop community, just so I know it'll be done right and so I won't have to worry about never getting my blaster back. If you're reading this and would be interested in getting a PP2 Blaster if they were made available please say so, maybe that way a level of interest could be gauged.
Here's some pics of the blaster in its raw and finished forms:

DHAKA, Nov 17 (Reuters) Military ships and helicopters were trying today to reach thousands of survivors of a super cyclone that killed at least 1,000 people and pummeled the impoverished country with mighty winds and waves.
Cyclone Sidr smashed into Bangladesh's southern coastline late on Thursday night with 250-kph winds that whipped up a 5-metre tidal surge. It was the strongest cyclone since a 1991 storm killed some 143,000 people in this country.
Navy ships scoured coastal areas for hundreds of people reported missing and to clear river channels clogged with sunken vessels to restore normal navigation, officials said.
Helicopters flew sorties to devastated areas, dropping food, drinking water and medicine for the survivors.
The official death toll from the cyclone was nearly 950 but private televisions ATN Bangla and Channel-i today gave figures more than 1,300 and 2,000 respectively.
An ATN reporter travelling the coast today said bodies littered the crumpled rice fields and that mourning relatives were joining ''procession of deaths'' as they try to bury them.
Fakhruddin Ahmed, head of Bangladesh's army-backed interim government, asked officials in disaster areas yesterday to ''ensure bodies are buried quickly'' to avoid the spread of disease.
''It will take several days to complete the search and know the actual casualty figure and extent of damage to property,'' said food and disaster ministry official Ayub Miah.
The US navy is reportedly ready to send two amphibious assault ships with helicopters to help in rescue efforts. Bangladesh had yet to receive a formal offer from the US Navy, Foreign Secretary Touhid Hossain told Reuters. ''If we have, we will consider and take a decision.'' The US Navy helped after a devastating storm in 1991.
Televisions showed today people in the cyclone-hit districts going back from shelters to what now looked like heaps of debris.
''Where is my home? Where is my family?'' wailed an elderly woman, showing the flattened remains of a house, covered with fallen tree branches.
''Why have I come back? How shall we live?'' said another woman in Mathbaria village.
AID STARTS POURING IN Aid officials described damage from the storm, which blew away homes and ripped out trees and power lines, as extremely severe.
Most of the country plunged into darkness today after the electricity grid was knocked out. Parts of Dhaka, the capital city of 10 million people, were still without power today.
''Our relief teams have started emergency distribution, with an initial coverage of 100,000 people,'' said Vince Edwards, World Vision's Bangladesh national director. ''However, several areas are inaccessible right now due to fallen trees,'' a World Vision statement quoted Edwards as saying today.
In many areas, 95 per cent of the rice crops awaiting to be harvested in a few weeks have been badly damaged, officials said.
Hundreds of shrimp farms were washed away, while vegetables, rice and pulses were also damaged.
''Many people are homeless, crops and livelihoods have been destroyed and this is going to put great pressure on the government, the economy, and the people themselves -- particularly as this comes only a few months after floods devastated the northern part of the country,'' said Suman SMA Islam, CARE's humanitarian assistance coordinator in Bangladesh.
Germany has allocated 293,000 dollars in emergency relief aid and the European Union has released 1.5 million euros (2.1 million dollars) in fast-track aid.
''This is a major tragedy with hundreds already known to have died and hundreds of thousands suffering from this disaster,'' said Louis Michel, the European Commissioner responsible for Development and Humanitarian Aid.
In New York, John Holmes, the UN undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said his office would make available ''several million dollars'' in emergency aid.
MISSING AT SEA Red Crescent officials said some 1,000 fishermen were still unaccounted for in the Bay of Bengal, onboard about 150 boats.
Fishing community leaders in Cox's Bazar and Barisal said they still expected some of the missing crew to return safely.
In past storms, fishing boats took shelter in the Sundarban mangrove forests, said Shohel Ahmed, a Barisal fisherman.
The Sundarban, home to the endangered Royal Bengal tigers and a World Heritage site, took the brunt of the latest storm and forest officials said many wildlife could have died.
The Category 4 cyclone and the tidal surge it spawned devastated three coastal towns and forced 3.2 million people to evacuate, officials and aid agencies said.
Aid workers said the death toll would have been far higher if not for the good preparations by skilled rescuers and a volunteer army who spread warnings and helped evacuate people.

Too long! But funny. Nice job Seth Rogan.
"…That's a lot of Megahertz!" I lol'd at work. Very embarrassing. 🙂
The constantly out-of-breath voice reminds me of the "You suck at photoshop" series. Are these related in any way?
I half expected the sign-off to be "For your health!"
Awesome video.
"This is an example of the kind of thing where Apple goes the extra mile." Ice cube tray. Heh. Maybe there have been too many of these unboxing parodies but this guy really nails it.
Love the Neverhood music in the background. brilliant game.
This proves that whatever camera he's using can't handle close focus. If like I suspect it's a flip then as an owner I can confirm they aren't good at close focus. They should do a macro flip for people who like to film their own hands.
haha, plushieshwartz, do you know fov sure if this was seth rogen? cause i susupected it but i'm curious if it really is.
very funny…
I don't think the iPhone is the only one that's had speed added in the video.
I consider it a testimony to the sort of iron will that allows me to tear myself away from countless online tributes to you-know-who for a minute that I managed to get past the part where the only thing that I really wanted to do on this earth was to tase this guy, repeatedly and in sensitive bathing-suit-type areas.
Bananas for when ya get hungry.
While watching this on my iPhone 3GS I spit-taked all over my new phone. Very nice.

The Death of Truth: What's Wrong With Multiculturalism, the Rejection…
by Dennis McCallum
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A one-sided critique of Postmodernism's affect on contemporary society, The Death of Truth decries the undermining of traditional views regarding knowledge, religion, and cultural hegemony. More specifically, McCallum analyzes the Postmodernist influence in health care, literature, education, history, psychotherapy, law, science and religion. An intriguing approach and analysis, which ultimately cannot overcome its one-sidedness D

Dear Daniel,
Pi is a transcendental number, so no rational number very close does exist.
Thus ratioanalize cannot work, see the Mathematica Book or 'Mathematical

The Imposter director Bart Layton blogs for Film4 from SXSW as his film screens…
"You must be real excited" says the SXSW coordinator handing me my Filmmaker badge in the registration hall at SXSW, "You guys are playing the Paramount – that's huge". Huge as in massively prestigious or huge as in massively big? I wonder. I soon find out it's the latter – the Paramount seats 1200 people and our film is due to play there on Wednesday afternoon. My mind immediately flashes up an image of us doing a Q&A in front of a colossal auditorium with about 5 people sat there, one of them's asleep, another's texting and the rest are ushers. I decide not to think about it but send an anxious text requesting more poster putter-uppers.
Austin is clearly a rocking town with or without SXSW coming to stay – so much so that it's hard to believe that this is where George Bush chose to live. There are bars you'd travel miles for in London on just about every corner and in front of each stands a sizzling taco truck waiting for you to fall drunkenly in its porky arms. If you're English, the locals are suspiciously lovely, enthusiastic and hospitable hipsters, all ink and beard, that make Dimitri (producer) and I want to cut the sleeves off our t-shirts, roll around in the dirt and go get some words tattooed on our necks. En route to the hotel I get an email from Miami Film Festival, where we've just arrived from, saying that we've won the Grand Jury Prize – we're so stunned that we have to call them to check!
Buzzing from the news, Dimitri, Poppy (co-producer) and I head out toward 6th street where crowds are spilling out of cranking clubs – some with SXSW Film badges, some with SXSW Interactive badges (most of the interactives can be found staring at their phones, busily tweeting about what a killer time they're having, whilst socially mobilising other interactives to gather together and stare at their phones en masse). Nevertheless, this tweeting thing has begun to obsess me – as soon as a screening ends twitter is alive with people giving their miniature verdict – the other day a girl twittered her irritation that I was wearing the same shirt/shoe combo for the Q&A that I had on at Sundance!? It seems I must have inadvertently acquired a special Q&A outfit, and, possibly also a stalker. At a screening at True/False I introduced the film then moved to a nearby bar while the film played. Unable to resist a quick twitter check for "the Imposter" – I find a 2-minute old tweet from someone actually sat in the audience watching the movie: "OMG – Watching the The Imposter at #TRUE/FALSE – totally gripped!!" – I wonder how gripped you can really be if you feel the need to tweet your state of grippedness.
Our first SXSW screening is at the Lamar theatre – why is there nowhere like this in the UK? In front of each row of seats is a long bench with slots for menus, paper and pencils. Then in front of the bench is a space for servers to steal up and down, take your order and return with burgers, beer or Mexican food! Now this is a cinema! The screening is packed out. I intro the film then lurk in the back as an audience of munchers, slurpers and belchers sits transfixed – quietly masticating in a darkness thick with burrito. Credits roll, an amazing response, a great Q&A followed by an outpouring of tweety enthusiasm. We are stoked! Hopefully word will spread and the Paramount will attract a smattering more takers.
The next day it's back to back press interviews with everyone from Ain't it Cool News to the Austin Statesman and even a somewhat questionable encounter with The Diabolical League of Awesome - friendly "journalists" who absolutely rave about the film, but who I'm not completely sure realise it was a documentary. We answer the same questions 30 or 40 times over the course of the day and do our utmost to sound interesting. Night falls and we attempt to locate the "hottest party in town" – this is pretty much a losing battle – kind of like all those rubbish New Years Eves you had as a teenager where you spend most of the night convinced you should be at the other party only to find yourself caught between the two, sat next to a sleeping tramp on a night bus as midnight strikes.
So we enlist the help of our handsome new Hollywood agent who drags us off to the 21 Jump Street party where we rub shoulders with Jonah Hill, Judd Apatow and a gaggle of agents, models and self-proclaimed actor-writer-producer-director-producer-cinematographers. The thing about these parties is that everyone wants to be there but no actually one looks like they're actually having much fun - with the possible exception of Jonah Hill, who's wearing a police uniform and fending off blonde girls with skin almost the exact same colour as their hair.
Today's the day of reckoning – 2:30pm at the Paramount Theatre – will it be empty, half-full or maxed out? I spend the morning with a churning feeling in the pit of my stomach – could be the steady diet of smoked brisket and grits but I'm wagering it's nerves. We arrive early for a tech-check. The place is ginormous, the screen is huge, the picture looks phenomenal and the sound is trouser-shaking. By quarter to two the rush line is filling up nicely but what of the actual film-goers? Where are they? It's a beautiful day, I'm convinced everyone will be out drinking in the sun. Anna from Film 4 notices me pacing, "The badge line starts round the corner," she tells me. So we go look to see if anyone's actually standing there. I take out my iPhone to record the terrifying evidence:
To our enormous shock and relief the queue stretches to the end of the block and beyond.
It's pretty incredible, especially if you've only worked in TV before, to sit in a packed theatre as big and beautiful as that one – with hundreds of strangers staring silently at this thing you spent months and months working on, driving everyone you know round the bend, and then actually see an audience (a real audience!) from Texas, where the story takes place, responding to it in the way you prayed they might. Then the relief of finally hearing them erupt in applause because they have been on a journey for the last 95 minutes that absorbed them – one that hopefully entertained them, moved them and even made them question what they thought they knew about human beings. So thank you SXSW and Austin for one of those rare and 'huge' moments that we'll keep living and reliving over and over again.
The Q&A was a blur but the audience, as is typical of Austin, were clever and generous and thoughtful. Some friends from London were there and along with a great bunch from Film4 we went to a rooftop bar around the corner to do the post mortem. I can't resist the lure of the tweet – I surreptitiously type in "The Imposter". One in particular catches my eye: "The Imposter = wow. Believe the hype. What a terrific doc-thriller. Could be one of the best docs this year. #SXSW" – " turns out it's by Matt Dentler, former head of SXSW Film Festival, now head of iTunes. We can go home happy.
