Absolument FabuleuxDir: Gabriel Aghion. France. 2001. 105 mins.A French feature film remake of the iconic BBC TV series, Absolument Fabuleux replaces its source material's uniquely vivacious humour with hamfisted slapstick and overcooked farce. Despite many inventive touches and amusing French renderings of the series' hallmarks, it suffers acutely in the translation. In France, the series has a small cult following outside the main vein of popular culture which explains why this film ha
Acquisitions boost for Nordic SmileNordic distribution and production outfit Smile Entertainment, which has divisions in Denmark and Finland, has boosted rights acquisitions, grabbing a number of new titles for Scandinavia. According to Smile head Timo T. Lahtinen, the increase is in part due to delays in the outfit's own productions and co-productions, caused by turbulence in the international financing markets.Earlier this year Smile signed an agreement for feature developing and production with New York based

AsokaDir: Santosh Sivan. India. 2001. 150 mins.Could this be the Indian Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' Probably not; but Santosh Sivan's loose historical biopic of Mauryan emperor Asoka is a hugely enjoyable swords-and-saris romp which should have no trouble crossing over from speciality Asian circuits to general release. Juhi Chawla - the former Miss India, who co-produced the film with her brother Sanjiv - refers to Asoka as "a low-budget experimental film". The
BBC's Care wins Prix Italia TV drama prizeThe BBC's heart-wrenching drama Care won the prestigious Prix Italia prize for best TV drama at the annual television and radio awards ceremony held this year in Bologna and Reggio Emilia (Sept 14-22). The 104 min picture tells the story of a 14-year-old boy who is sent to a children's home when he's caught stealing a packet of cigarettes.

BCE, Cogeco acquire Quebec TV networkCanadian telecommunications and media conglomerate BCE has teamed with Cogeco, the nation's fourth-largest cable company, to purchase majority control of Quebec-based television network TQS. The US$47m deal was part of the regulatory divestiture by publishing and media giant Quebecor in the wake of its US$3.4bn takeover of Groupe Videotron last year and its broadcast asset, TVA Group, the province's largest broadcaster. Quebecor purchased 86% of money-losing TQS several years ago and h
Birthday GirlDir: Jez Butterworth. UK-US. 2001. 85mins. After an unusually long time in the works, Birthday Girl emerges as a likeable and competent small-scale divertissement which represents a considerable advance on Mojo, writer-director Jez Butterworth's poorly received debut film adapted from his own stage play. Birthday Girl is notable above all for a splendid comic performance from Nicole Kidman - her best since To Die For - which, along with her recent,
BSkyB goes all-digital as Vivendi sells 23% stakeVivendi Universal has handed over its 23% stake in Europe's richest pay-TV group BSkyB to an unnamed investment firm, believed to be Deutsche Bank.The move came only hours before BSkyB announced that it would switch off its analogue signal at midnight (Sept 27), some 15 months ahead of its planned December 2002 schedule and 12 years after its launch.

Canada's tax change closes expensive loopholeToronto and London-based Grosvenor Park and Vancouver-based Sentinel Hill Alliance Atlantis Equicap Limited Partnership (SHAAELP), in which Alliance Atlantis Corp. holds a 30% stake, are two of the Canadian-based companies expected to be hardest hit by the Canadian government's closure in Jan 2002, of a loophole in its tax law that allows film investors to deduct losses made from funding start-up production partnerships.Publicly-held AAC issued a statement on Sept 24, saying that the n

Dutch film fest is launch pad for new initiativesHolland's film season has kicked off with the 21st edition of the Dutch Film Festival in Utrecht (19-28 September) - opening with the tax-scheme funded feature The Cave, which had its world premiere at the World Cinema sidebar in Montreal.

Equity throws UK productions into uncertaintyStephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things is amongst the high-profile productions plunged into uncertainty as the UK film sector starts to feel the impact of last week's decision by actors union Equity to strike from December 1.Other titles hit by Equity's call for its members to refuse any new contracts involving work from December include Ruby Films' Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath bio-pic and Thaeddus O'Sullivan's 1930s love triangle In The Heart Of Me.

Germany gains digital accord, loses PufferGerman broadcasters yesterday (Thursday 20 Sept) put aside their differences and reached agreement on new standards for digital TV. But that came too late to save Manfred Puffer, who was replaced by Peter Mihatsch, as head of Premiere World.Puffer joined Premiere World last year as its chief financial officer and in January was promoted to run the operation, which is Germany's leading digital channels group. No explanation was given for his sudden departure in what amounts to merely th

GlitterDir: Vondie Curtis Hall. US 2001. 104 minutes Knocking Mariah Carey in her feature film debut would be easy --and unfair, given what a shambles the entire movie is. Set against the backdrop of the New York club scene in the early 1980's (think Studio 54), Glitter is a weak take-off on A Star Is Born. Were it not for Carey's legions of devoted fans, it's doubtful this film would make a dime. As it is, the picture will hardly cause a ripple at the box office.
Hardball leads the pack again over dismal weekendIt was one of the most dismal weekends of the year at the North American box office, down 7% from the same weekend last year and some 15% from last weekend. The reasons: two films due to open this weekend (Training Day and Big Trouble) were postponed, the one left - Glitter, pictured here - was a flop, and audiences preferred to stay at home due to nerves over terrorist attacks, especially on Friday night to watch the Sept 11 telethon.The two hour telethon, which
How Harry Became A TreeDir: Goran Paskaljevic. Ireland/ Italy/ UK/ France. 2001. 100 mins. The main trouble with Harry is its peculiar cocktail of ingredients. Based on a Chinese short story, scripted in first Serbian, then French and eventually English, directed by a Serb, Goran Paskaljevic, produced by an Irish-Italian-French-British team and set in Ireland, the result is never quite as weird and wonderful as its cosmopolitan origins and surreal title lead one to expect. It's a Europudding
Iris, Charlotte dated for pre-Oscar US releasesTwo high-powered British prestige pictures - Iris and Charlotte Gray - have been set for release in the US and Canada in December, meaning that they qualify for and indeed will be pushed for Oscar consideration.Neither had been certain to open this year.

Irish producers and unions failing to reach accordA report on labour relations in the Irish film industry prepared for the Irish Film Board by Frank McGettigan and released Sept 19 concludes "there is little likelihood, in the short term at least, of the negotiation of agreements which satisfy both parties." For more than a year producers' organisation Film Makers Ireland (FMI) and the technical and craft unions have been unable to reach an agreement on pay and working conditions. The issue was cited as an inhibitor of growth in the s
Italy's Mediaset accused of unlawful tradingItaly's Mediaset was again caught up in a whirl of controversy this weekend after a Milan court accused the group's president, Fedele Confalionieri, of unlawful rights-trading. Investigating prosecutors also lifted the lid on the conflict of interest issue, one of the hottest points of contention for Mediaset and current prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.According to leading Rome daily La Repubblica, Milan prosecutors have accused Mediaset - and by association Confalonieri - of selling
Italy's Mifed cancels Gala, boosts securityIn a sign of solidarity to the US for last week's terrorist attacks, Mifed has announced the cancellation of a gala evening which had been arranged to showcase Italian cinema during the market. Instead, organisers said the (undisclosed) budget which had been allocated for the event will be given to a charity linked to the US attacks. While a recent hike in registration costs had already caused some industry executives to warn that they may choose not to attend the market, Mifed is now
Joy RideDir: John Dahl.

A return to form after the disappointments of Unforgettable and Rounders, this represents Dahl's most commerci

Prozac NationDir: Erik Skjoldbjaerg. US. 2001. 98 mins.As if proof were needed, Christina Ricci proves she is one of her generation's most fearless actors with a bold and nuanced performance in Prozac Nation, the film of Elizabeth Wurtzel's autobiographical book about youthful depression. Virtually on screen for the film's entire 98 minutes, Ricci plays Wurtzel as unlikeable, hostile and crude, while also - crucially - maintaining the sympathy of audiences who, while possibly not r

San Sebastian honours absent friendsThe San Sebastian International Film Festival kicked off its 49th edition yesterday (Sept 20) with the screening of The Safety Of Objects by Rose Troche, and a surprise announcement that Warren Beatty would be the recipient of a third Donostia Award. Beatty, like fellow Donostia recipient Julie Andrews, will not be present to receive the award owing to the "uncertainty" of circumstances following last week's attacks in New York and Washington. This year's 49th edition of the fes
Screen International CommentNot even our darkest imaginations could have foretold the horrors of last week, although several came close enough to force our creative industries into a sensitive retreat. A handful of upcoming films and TV shows with terrorist themes were instantly put on the back-burner; adverts laced with ghoulish humour were hurriedly papered over; and video games that mirrored events too chillingly for comfort were sent scurrying back to the digital drawing boards. Not to have done so, of course, would
SerendipityDir Peter Chelsom. US 2001. 89 mins.Despite a schematic structure and overdose of contrivances, romantic comedy Serendipity represents a step in the right direction for director Peter Chelsom after his disastrous experience with New Line's Town & Country. Recalling Sleepless In Seattle, and other comedies and dramas about the mysterious operations of fate, Marc Klein's script is sporadically inventive and even smart in showing destiny's alluring hold o

The MartinsDir: Tony Grounds. UK. 2001. 84 mins. Tiger Aspect, a company which aims to foster television talent and has a short but successful track record in translating TV-generated projects to the big screen (Bean, Kevin And Perry Go Large), will be hard-pressed to tempt film-goers to this limp comedy. The women, particularly Kathy Burke, give sterling performances, but Lee Evans in the leading role demonstrates once again that he lacks the charisma to carry a movie. Local ref

VidocqDir: Pitof. France. 100 mins.Last season it was Brotherhood Of The Wolf, a prototype for a new kind of European popular cinema, that attempted to makeover a French costume drama with the idiomatic layering of genre set-pieces (martial arts action movie, monster movie, etc.).

About Me~~~I AM CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR WORK. I AM TRAVELING AND DO NOT WISH TO WORK WHILE DOING SO. I WILL BE UNABLE TO PLAN, MAKE ARRANGEMENTS, OR REPLY TO MESSAGES QUICKLY. I WILL NOT BE MODELING FOR AROUND 6 MONTHS. I will not start considering making work arrangements with anyone til around september 2013 if my travels all go according to plan.
Thank you for checking out my page, if you do message me please be patient as it could be several days to weeks for me to reply.
-Lila Simpson
Hello and welcome to my MM account! Thanks for checking out my page. I am a fairly new model wanting to get more experience in front of the camera. My work has been mostly film photography with some local artists but I am wanting to branch out and get creative with fresh minds. Commercial work does interest me as do personal shoots. I've been trained on the runway by my agency and have a very flexible schedule. I'm wanting to build my portfolio and gain priceless experience.
I'm fine with TFP if I think it will add to my portfolio and the photographers, but my only need as far as compensation is help with gas money. If I'm driving more than an hour for a shoot, I'd like a few dollars to help cover my out of pocket expenses unless the photographer is driving a far distance as well.
Best way to contact me is through private message, only serious offers. No I am not shooting nudes, do not try to convince me. I prefer to have an escort for safety and help with the shoot (wardrobe, makeup) unless hair, wardrobe, and makeup are provided at the shoot.

Brushy Creek (ball fields) 7/4/11 fail.
Thought I'd post up a report on my unsuccessful outing to Brushy Creek. Maybe someone can offer up some pointers, tell me I did it wrong, or laugh at my being skunked! Got to the ball fields about 6:30 (late) and started at the portion of the bank right at the end of the pathway that leads between the soccer field and the baseball field. Started with some topwater, a puppy, a popper and a stickbait just because of all the activity on the top. No luck. Switched to a baby rattlesnake and a soft craw (both watermelonseed) and only one little bite on the craw. We moved down further (away from bridge) and found a lot of good spots with overhanging trees on the opposite side to cast under and a lot of good structure... but still no luck. Walked all the way down to where it gets so shallow you can watch the perch and decided to head back the other way. We went past the bridge and through some REALLY rough stuff and found no good spots. There were a lot of people there, so we went back to where we started and worked our way to the bridge, throwing EVERYTHING..soft baits, crankbaits, spinners, roostertails, kreaturebaits, poppers, even things that have never even seen a bite (TV infomercial special "flying lure" from yeeears ago). There were lots of baitfish schooling and running from *something big* and a lot of jumpers and general activity, but my brother and I totalled about 4 good bites from 6:30 until 2:00. I did find some Senkos and a pole someone left behind with a busted reel, so I guess it wasn't a TOTAL loss. Going back to Red Bud this weekend unless something else looks promising.
Don't get discouraged, brushy creek is nice for convenience but not a great place to catch typically. Better with a yak to hit less trodden areas of the lake in my opinion. That said, I usually get a bite or two with a weightless senko by the ballfields when I take the dog there and case for 20 minutes. Pretty soon the slime grass won't allow many baits to be thrown over there though.
I hung around the Parmer bridge alot and a little bit along that shore line, but I'm going to venture down the creek more as there looks to be a good path down that way. I made some rod holders for my bike, so getting around the trail shouldn't be a problem, hopefully there will be some better fishing. There's definitely some lurkers down there...

Hit up brushy ball field side this morning got there at 7:30 fished till 10:00 caught 4 fish all together biggest going 3lbs all fish were caught on a white swim bait...when I got there fish were busting the shad all over the place on the first cast hooked up with one that got off casted again hooked up with my biggest faught pretty good for a 3 moved down towards the bridge caught another where all the stumps are she only ran 2.07 after that it was all dinks...saw some massive ones up in the back off the creek running in packs of like 5 the biggest one I saw had to be atleat 7 or 8 most of the fish were in the range of 4 to 6 pounds but none of them wanting anything to do with me every cast I made they went the opposite way!!!!! Anyways had a good day I'm try to get out earlyer next time... good fishin guys
You see, those are the kind of reports that got me out there in the first place! Maybe it was an off day, or I forgot my deodorant. I'll wear me lucky shirt next time, maybe I'll have better luck.

Mastermind behind UK's "Great Train Robbery" dies at 81
By Clare Hutchison
LONDON (Reuters) - The mastermind behind Britain's "Great Train Robbery", a 1963 heist that turned its perpetrators into celebrities, has died aged 81, local media reported on Thursday.
Bruce Reynolds died in his sleep at his home in London after a period of ill health, reports from news media which included the BBC said, citing comments from Reynolds's son, Nick.
His death comes just months before the 50th anniversary of the "Great Train Robbery", that was at the time Britain's largest robbery.
In August 1963, Reynolds, along with an 11-member gang, tampered with railway track signals and stopped a Royal Mail night train travelling from Glasgow to London carrying letters parcels and large amounts of cash.
Reynolds and his men stormed the train and made off with 2.6 million pounds ($3.93 million), equivalent to about 40 million pounds in today's money.
Train driver Jack Mills was struck over the head during the robbery. He died seven years later and many people believed the injuries he sustained during the heist contributed to his death.
Most of the gang were caught and given prison sentences totaling more than 300 years but Reynolds evaded capture, fleeing Britain with his wife and son. He spent five years as a fugitive in places as far afield as Canada and Mexico.
On his return to Britain Reynolds was caught by police and sentenced 25 years in prison for the train heist, of which he served just 10. Continued...

i posed this question in the ps3 discussion, but then i realized this might be the right place for it.
im getting a sharpshooter. What game would be best to get with it, Socom 4 or Killzone 3?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Killzone 3 or Socom 4 SharpShooter
05-15-2011 #2
I have KZ3 with Move and Sharpshooter and it is an amazing combo. Both games were made by awesome developers and have alot of polish. I havent bought SOCOM yet, but I will when the price drops abit. I think it's a very close call and your best bet would be to check the ign/gamespot reviews just to see gameplay and get a general idea, shouldn't really take their reviews as gospel, but you'll get an idea of any game breaking problems or issues. I think you will be very happy which ever you get.
05-15-2011 #3
It really depends. Socom 4 is a really good game, and KZ3 Seems like it's good. Socom 4 is really fun with the sharpshooter. It just really depends on if you like 3rd person or 1st person shooters. I think they're both probably about the same.
06-22-2011 #4
I can't seem to get mine calibrated for KZ3 to make it work very well. I stopped using it. My Wii which I get rid of worked better.

I gave Sharpshooter and Move a try on both, and went back to the DS3. Much more responsive and accurate.

Sharpshooter for me offers really good immersion, I simply love pulling a trigger to fire and when it becomes comfortable and an extension of your hands it is ace. I am stoked that Resistance 3 and Bioshock Infinite will get Move, ESPECIALLY the latter.

Re: CA for Epidemics with Mathematica?
The closest I know of to this is the work of Christian Jacob who wrote
Illustrating Evolutionary Computation with Mathematica. In this book
he has some reference to modelling the smallpox epidemic in Paris
(maybe, I forget the exact reference) using CAs and other EAs. I think
this guy is chasing "swarm theory" now.

Twitter Installs 19th Century Log Cabins In New Headquarters [Pics]
Twitter's new cafeteria lends intimacy to an impersonal space.
Two homesteader cabins from the late 1800s were brought into the social networking giant's Mid-Market office in San Francisco, where they will be refurbished and revamped into a cozier lunch space and hangout spot for employees.
Lundberg Design, the firm in charge of the design elements at Twitter's headquarters, has been looking for a way to break up the open spaces of the dining area, and found that these log cabins could offer intimacy to an impersonal space. As described by Lundberg, these installations will serve as "rooms within a room."
Lundberg stumbled upon the idea for a log cabin almost two years ago, but it wasn't until four months ago did he reach out to the seller through Craigslist and try to make a purchase.
Booth seating will be set up in these 20-by-20 foot cabins, and four TV screens will be mounted on a concrete pillar in the center of the room.
This interesting reuse of materials holds well to the office's overall forest-theme motif, and is a example of how up-cycling can also demonstrate creative values.
"We're very excited about this project, not only because it's beautiful, but also because it's another great instance of how we continue to re-use materials as we build out our presence," Jim Prosser of Twitter media relations said in an email statement.

Download of the Week: Autostitch
A panorama image, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is made by piecing together multiple images that shows the viewer that is either wider or taller than your normal field of vision. For instance, if you wanted to take a picture of a clear horizon from atop some vantage point then you would take a series of pictures as close to the same horizontal/vertical line as the first. You can then take these pictures and combine them in a way as to reconstruct the enormous environment.
My digital camera has a panoramic feature. Initially I just ignored it, then I got addicted. Creating a panoramic shot once entailed changing to the camera's Panoramic setting and shooting a series of images of some applicable subject matter. From asking around the office, the cameras with this feature still won't build a panorama without using some external application (usually the camera's software) to stitch the disjointed images into one image. Autostitch, today's Download of the Week, should level the playing field, allowing anyone with a digital camera to create panoramic shots regardless of their camera's feature set or skill with imaging software.
This week's download is perfect for all of us who take panoramic shots or who would like to take them. Autostitch is the first program to be able to automatically stitch any photographer's overlapping images (within reason) into one fabulous panoramic shot. It helps to take the shots in order and include just under a quarter-frame's overlap on each side of the frame.
Autostitch requires hardly any user interaction. Simply drop the images into the interface and select Start, let Autostitch do the rest. Here's some of the sample images form Autostitch's website. There's really not a lot to say; it is what it is, and that's all that it is. It's just cool. There are settings you can configure, but you don't need to even touch them to get good results. There's not a ton of help at the site (just a set of FAQ's and no help file), but you don't need it. Just go outside, take a bunch of shots of your house in a row, dump the images into Autostitch, push the magic button and- voila!- you'll be patting yourself on the back, Ansel Adams. Enjoy.
NOTE: The linked file is compressed (or zipped). Use today's Tip of the Day for unzipping the file so you can install this cool program!

Great views
Corner of Bo Myat Tun & Mahabandoola St, Bo Myat Tun Tower, Botataung Township, East Central Yangon T: (09) 59311, (01) 298 184
Bo Myat Tun Hotel is not for those looking for luxury or all the flash comforts that a hotel can provide (see mould picture below), but rather it's for those looking for a simple place to stay with air-con, a comfy bed and a good location in downtown Yangon (Rangoon) with great views of the city.
Check rates at Bo Myat Tun Hotel on Agoda.com
Don't come expecting the pictures you'll see from Bo Myat Tun online; each room seems to vary in size and conditions, from open to tight, organised to scattered and grand view to wall view. It's a bit strange that all rooms cost US$49, no matter if it's a single or a double with or without a view; at least that's what the front desk insisted upon, though perhaps something got lost in translation.
Rooms are not the cleanest, and even a bit raw with the occasional stain on a bathroom wall. There was a faint smell of stuffiness or mould, but at the time we visited, this is a common affliction for almost every building in the city. Even the balcony we saw was a bit of a poor sight, overgrown and rusty in true Yangon fashion — yet the view, even taking in Shwedagon pagoda, is one of the best we've seen in all of the downtown accommodation and worth every bit of lacking luxury. They do have WiFi in the lobby but it's extremely poor so don't count on using it.
Air-con is in every room, along with TVs that have about three channels, mostly Chinese stations with English subtitles. Hot-water bathrooms are adequate, aside from the stained walls, and come with complimentary toiletries. Furniture is basic but you'll find included bottled water plus a kettle for coffee and tea. A breakfast buffet is included in the price and they do offer room service from 07:00 to 21:00. But the hotel is located on Mahabandoola Road, which boasts great local food vendors and Burmese and Western restaurants such as 50th St Bar and Grill and Union Bar and Grill.
Sights and attractions are walkable, with Botataung Pagoda and the harbour just a few blocks away, and Sule Pagoda and other grand attractions that downtown has to offer a quick walk away. Taxis are easy to find, so don't bother with their overpriced airport transfer fee of US$12. An average taxi to Yangon International Airport will be 5,000 to 8,000 kyat whether coming or going.
Bo Myat Tun Hotel accepts credit cards, which is a huge advantage over other accommodation of this price. It's doesn't offer luxury, but it does have a solid location just east of the centre of downtown Yangon and if you manage to get a room with a view, it's not a bad deal.

Anyway, Day 1 in Vermont was yet another iteration of the long-gradual-climbing course they like to run up there. It is not "real cross" IMO, but of course, it is a "bike race" and therefore one should shut up and race it. The 2-minute power section from before the start line to the top of the hill, though? Gross. Same with the climb from the barriers to the top of the BMX track, although you could at least argue that cleaning the BMX track takes skill.
I remember thinking 20 seconds into the holeshot, "oh, this is going fine" right before getting bottled up dead center of the pack and having 10 guys pass me. Whoops. It was ok, though, because when we hit the first turn that required braking, two guys crashed on the inside and the crash spilled out until it was tape-to-tape, slowing a ton of people. I snuck by like a tape-stretching ninja and took my 10 places back.
Dylan was in the crash and turned on "Angry Dylan" mode which led to him passing me back about 30 seconds later and crashing against 45 seconds later. I told him to chill out, because I like to pretend that people listen to me in bike races.
Lap one of a UCI race is usually pretty fun when you aren't expecting much; just hold your place in the train and let the adrenaline do the work. It's only when you need to "make the selection" that it really hurts, and I had no intention of anything like that. So I banged out a fast lap along with everyone else and things seem ok after seven minutes.
Then we went back up the long gradual climb of eff-you and suddenly things were not ok. Kevin went around me, which was annoying, and then Cary too, which was REALLY annoying.
Side Note: Cary lives with me now, and didn't race a bike from April 24-Sept 10 this year. I haven't beaten him on a cross bike in 2 years and counting. If he dies in his sleep, it was probably me.
Luckily the climb topped out and I was able to keep it tight on the descent to kind of integrate into some kind of group. Five or more people, but I was in "conservation mode" so I did nothing to fight my way off the back. Meanwhile Cary and Kevin moved up, and next thing I know the group is strung out and they're definitely more like "10 seconds up" than "in my group."
That didn't matter, though, because I wasn't even in "my" group anymore, I was going straight out the back like a guy who spent a little too long making websites and thinking of excuses and not enough time... wait, 2010 is the year of no excuses. Shut up, me.
It turned out that laps 3 and 4 were the "bad laps" and I did actually have some pedaling in me after that. Right as I turned the corner back into being able to suffer effectively, Stephen Pierce from CB caught me and I raised the pace to stay on his wheel.
I was out-descending him, but he was out-climbing me (what is this, a mountain bike race??) so I took the lead on the descent, which really just showed him the lines. So then he was just plain out-riding me. But with 3 to go he broke his bike when I was ahead of him, and I thought he had cracked, so my self-esteem went shooting back up and I started gobbling up places.
With two-to-go we very narrowly made it through to stay on the lead lap. The new "80% rule" was in affect, and we were probably 79.5% of a lap behind Tim Johnson at that point, The official was standing there with his watch, looking at our group of 3 (me, Dave Wilcox, some Canuck) and I was READY to sprint if he stepped out to pull us. But alas, we made it through, so I had to ride two more laps. Dave was coming back from a mechanical so he promptly rode me off his wheel, but we both dispatched the Canadian in this process. I'll take it.
With one to go I suddenly realized that hurtin' time was down to only 8 minutes and I did have 8 minutes of hurting left. Evan Huff was up the road, looking kinda tired and kinda reachable, so I went all out. I was cramping (of course) over the top of the BMX track but it's pretty much all downhill from there, so let's go!
Ahead, Brian Lawney had dropped an anchor and Evan smelled blood. Really unfortunate as I was otherwise set up pretty well for a ninja-attack sprint against Evan at the finish. Instead, while I was chasing at 105%, Evan started chasing Brian at 105%, and I couldn't get quite close enough. I came out of the trees about 10 yards behind the two of them, with all of us in full sprint. Evan got around Brian, Brian sat down, and I kept it flat out all the way to line...only to go rocketing past Brian a few bike lengths AFTER the line.
As they say, "that's bike racing."
Race travel, clown car style.

In short, a cosy and well-located place that is all about perks!

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

What Is The Current Thinking On Tuna In Pregnancy
When I was pregnant with my daughter I was told that it was best to avoid eating too much tuna due to the high mercury content, however now my sister in law is pregnant and craving tuna constantly (she even has it rare straight from the grill). She is probably eating it every other day and I'm really concerned. She has been told there are no worries about tuna anymore as long as it is fresh - what is the current thinking on this?

Ever Wonder What It's Like to Be a Piece of Popcorn Living in a Popcorn Tub?
….well now you know.
(No kidding, that is maybe actually someone's house. Love that sideboard – omg, Ikea? – but hating the rest.)
….well now you know.
(No kidding, that is maybe actually someone's house. Love that sideboard – omg, Ikea? – but hating the rest.)
There's not much to say about tree stump tables, other than the fact that they exist, they can look pretty awesome, and if you're so inclined, creating a DIY tree stump side table isn't that difficult (as demonstrated beautifully over at Nesting Place last month). The look pretty good painted:
But many people chose to leave them au natural, and rightly so:
In a pinch, you can even use a tree stump side table as a seat:
For the DIY tree stump side table, you could do like the author of Nesting Place and just grab something left behind by the tree services guys, but I'd worry about the possibility of creepy crawlies riding in along with the stump. Plus, you want something a little drier than a fresh cut log, so I'd recommend opting for something found at the firewood depot, like Karen at the Art of Doing Stuff did.
Sure, it's a little rustic, but I really like this kind of thing when paired with other furniture that's decidedly non-rustic. Whatdya think… too outdoorsy? Or just right?
So I just found out that barely-there lampshades – wire lamp… shades? – are totally a trend and super hot and everyone must have them now now now. Good to know, I guess. But seeing as that naked light bulbs make my eyes really sad, I think I'll just be letting this one pass my by. What do you think?
(FYI: If you have any interest in winning a $155 gift certificate to any CSN stores, head over to my personal blog and enter my latest giveaway!)
…or should I call them starburst mirrors? I've seen the two terms used, pretty much interchangeably and with equal frequency. So I hope we can agree that both labels are correct. Sometimes what's labeled a starburst mirror looks more like a sun, and what's labeled a sunburst mirror looks more like a star, but I think that's okay. I think they're keen no matter what you call them!
I will happily admit to being a totally lazy bum when it comes to making the bed, and yet I'm also a total sucker for a freshly made bed.
Doesn't that look inviting? Restful? It's like a sign that tomorrow will be better than the day before. But since like I said, I am none too good about actually doing what it takes to slip into a freshly made bed on a daily basis, I would really like it if my unmade bed looked like this:
Which do you prefer in your own boudoir? The crisp freshly made bed or the comfortable rumpled one?
It's more common to read about gender neutral decor in the context of nurseries and kids' rooms, but what about for grownups? It's probably a question that cohabitating heterosexual adults should ask themselves at least once: How can one create a space that's appealing to both women and men? (Which, for the gay couple or roommate pair, can become: How can one create a space that's appealing to both people living in it.) In the spirit of that question, here are five tips for creating gender neutral spaces in various areas of your home:
1. Go for balance. Mix furniture and accessories that have clean, strong lines with more delicate stuff. Think antique silver filigree on a parsons table, traditional feminine touches paired with modern art, and mix vivid colors with softer neutrals.
2. Ditch the florals, and replace them with botanicals, because there's nothing quite like bringing the outdoors in. Branch patterns are beautiful, as are stylized leaf patterns. Just show some restraint, and don't turn your bedroom or living room or bathroom into a forest.
3. Don't make gender neutrality the focus of the room. Let's say a hetero couple is decorating a bedroom – his nightstand might have a different lamp than hers, or they may simply have different nightstands. In the living room, the chair she uses most might be somewhat girlier than the other furniture in the room, which he has a favorite footstool that's decidedly more manly.
4. Go for greens. It's the color that so many parents gravitate toward (along with yellow) when creating gender neutral nurseries, but green is great for grownups, too. There are so many different shades of green and greens coordinate with so many other colors, that you're sure to find a color palette you both like.
5. Keep it classic, because classic decor is less likely to start to get on one of your nerves. The more trendy your decorating choices, the more quickly it's going to happen that someone in a couple will start to hate the colors or the accessories or the pictures hanging on the walls.
Throw pillows are great, aren't they? When your couch is just not supportive enough, throw pillows pick up the slack. They make a neat little seat when there is seating overflow, and really wee ones can use throw pillows for all sorts of things. And they're pretty, too!
But really, enough is enough. If you really need twelve giant throw pillows to make your couch comfy, it's time to get a new couch. Or if you find yourself sitting on the very edge of the couch, it's probably time to reevaluate how you're using throw pillows. This image above is not it, but there's definitely a right way to use 'em, so I recommend grabbing some cute throw pillows like these:
Are these sweet? Go on, click the pics!
All you need to replicate this cool heart mosaic photographed by Goode Green Photography is your choice of original 3″ X 3 1/8″ Polaroids (or something similar in a non-Polaroid format) and a picture frame or canvas. If you opt for the former, you can paste down your photos on the matting, and if you opt for the latter, just paste your pics directly onto the canvas. Which you can't paint first or not, as you like it. Easy! And doubly good since it's yet another way to deal with all those pesky snapshots taking up space.

Gwinnett police seeking information in singer's death
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Gwinnett County police have confirmed a member of R&B female trio Blaque was hit and killed in an accident in Gwinnett County late Friday.
Natina Reed, a 32-year-old protégé of the late TLC singer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, was struck while she was crossing a street.
Gwinnett County police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long told Atlanta Journal Constitution police received a call around 10:27 p.m. Friday that a woman had been struck by a red Honda Accord on Lawrenceville Highway at Hamilton Road, just north of Lilburn. Police said Reed was pronounced dead at Gwinnett Medical Center, just before 11 p.m.
Authorities are seeking information to help explain her accidental death.
Gwinnett County police would like to speak to "anyone who might have information about anything that could help us determine why she was there, anything to help us understand how this came together," according to a statement Long provided to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Multiple messages were posted on Twitter expressing condolences, including those from music producer Russell Simmons and V103 personality Egypt Sherrod. Others offered sentiments, noting that Reed would have celebrated her 33rd birthday Sunday.
Reed's fellow Blaque member Brandi Williams tweeted, "Last night the world was changed forever, life will never be the same….she was my sister." Other members of the group include Shamari Fears and Erica Pullins.
Billboard named Blaque as the 4th Best New Artist in 1999. Lopes signed Blaque, whose hits included "808" and "Bring It All to Me", to her Left Eye Productions label. Lopes was killed in a 2002 in a car crash in La Ceiba, Honduras.
Reed is survived by a 10-year-old son, Tren Brown.
Gwinnett authorities clarified that Reed's accident was not a hit-and-run as reported by various outlets.
A Gwinnett County press release said preliminary information indicates the driver, who called 911 at the scene, was not at fault and there are no charges pending. Officials said there are no additional witnesses beyond the driver and passenger. Police are withholding their names until the investigation is finished.

- - My male still squats? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-behavior/195978-my-male-still-squats.html)
My male still squats?
Gus is almost 1.5 years old and he still mostly squats when he pees. Occasionally he will hike his leg when he pees..but mostly squats. Is this normal for a male of his age? I guess sometimes he thinks he is a lady...
...and sometimes he doesn't.
Our 10 1/2 month old still squats. Has Gus been neutered? Jake has been and I often wonder if that makes a difference.
No he's intact.
Mine still squats and he is 5. He's never lifted his leg on anything but sniffs avidly at the pee-mail around the neighbourhood. He is a laid back and submissive guy, and that may be the root of the behaviour.
Tazor just started to lift his leg at one year. My last Shep squatted for 13 yrs til his last day. It didnt matter to me. My guess, if he feels like marking his territory he will.
Doesn't matter to us either way ... he's still our man even if he never lifts his leg :)
Ranger has never lifted his leg! In fact, I posted a similar question to yours recently because I've never had a male dog who didn't lift his leg! Ranger is 2 1/2 years old. (And he not submissive at all.)
