Since his feature-film debut in The Empire of the Sun, Christian Bale has charted an innovative path for his film career. Wisely avoiding the typecasting that comes with teeny bopper roles in insipid comedies, Bale has played everything from a medieval prince to a young boy infatuated with the glam-rock scene. Now he has his most daring role yet in Mary Harron's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' controversial novel American Psycho. Sporting a toned physique and a maniacal grin, Bale will definitely turn a lot of heads as psychopath Patrick Bateman – a role he almost lost to Leonardo DiCaprio. In this exclusive interview, Bale discusses the nature of Bateman's psychosis, the irrationality of American movie ratings, and his upcoming role in John Singleton's update of Shaft.
Q: In a recent Interview magazine you called Patrick Bateman a dweeb. What do you think turns a dweeb into a psychopath, specifically in Patrick's case?
Christian Bale: I have an idea on that, but it has nothing to do with the history of the character or anything like that because I didn't even delve into that. It would have been too realistic an approach to Bateman, who is not a real character. It is not that he is in any way vague or confused at all – he is very sure of his sensibilities about what he likes, why he likes things, what annoys him. To me it is certainty about everything. His obsession with minute details. His certainty that his life is pointless. That drives him crazy because nothing has any meaning and consequently he loses any sort of a conscience and has no limits. He can just as easily shake your hand and smile at you and pay you a compliment or bite your jugular out. He doesn't feel anything and that is his own living hell.
Q: Do you think he remains unconfused even at the end of the film?
CB: No, by the end he is confused. He goes from this absolute sort of grip on control and such tension that he can't bend at all. Then he breaks and goes from one extreme to the other – to complete despair and confusion. By the end, he has made the journey because – although he is a character without a character – there is some sort of an arc in that he does go from psychopath to complete psychotic by the end, absolutely in his own world and completely confused by society. No grasp on it whatsoever. He hasn't even been able to be arrested and he cannot understand why and there's this whole theme of mistaken identity, which leaves him questioning if he is even Bateman by the end. Then there is the question of has any of this actually happened or not and he just does not know.
Q: Mary Harron said in Filmmaker magazine that the movie was realistic up to a point. I would argue that the book is entirely surreal and I just wonder how you saw the film vis-a-vis the book?
CB: Yes, I do think it is surreal. I think the movie is very surreal as well. We never attempted for realism. I think that Mary is just saying that we weren't going for some sort of cartoonish exaggeration, but there is a heightening to it. That was something that we had to be very careful about, but which didn't become too massive that it was entirely caricature. It had to be somewhat of a parody. To me, the movie is very truthful to the book, to the scenes that Mary chose to take from it. A number of people have actually accused the movie of not being violent enough because it doesn't include the extremely graphic violence that is in the book. It is two different mediums. I just don't think it would have worked.
Q: No, it distracts from Ellis' satire.
CB: Right. That would have become purely the focus as it did for many people with the book.
Q: I think it is a flaw in the book as well.
CB: Right, because it does draw attention away from the intelligence of the piece, because so many people, they say, "American Psycho – the rat scene!" That was what I thought American Psycho was going to be, which is why I was so surprised when I read the screenplay. Have you read and seen The Picture of Dorian Gray?
Q: Yes.
CB: There is a lot of correlation between American Psycho and Dorian Gray and between Bateman and Dorian Gray. In the movie of Dorian Gray, they chose to actually show this portrait. As I was reading the book, I had the perfect image of a portrait encompassing a life full of sin. Suddenly they show it to you in the movie and I thought it was ridiculous, and it ruined it for me in a lot of ways, although I think the rest of the film is great. I think the same would have happened with American Psycho if we had shown that violence.
Q: Let's talk about the rating issue, which is nonsense. It seems to me that every time there is an issue about ratings, it is almost always nonsense. It is obvious that both you and Mary Harron want the film released without being cut. Anytime I read about something like that I just start to believe that movies will never reach a state of adulthood. And I wonder if that is something you just shrug your shoulders and wince about or is it something that is really a vital concern to you?
CB: I think that ultimately it does have to become a vital concern. It is people deciding for us what we are going to see or not and that is very objectionable. I do believe that, obviously, there has to be some form of ratings. I feel that with American Psycho probably the controversy with the book provoked [the ratings board] into feeling that they had to do something. It was just a matter of "which scenes shall we pick?" I do think that the rating system in America is very bizarre. In England, for instance, which is the ratings I am accustomed to, the film has been given an 18.
Q: By age, right?
CB: And that is it. Nobody under 18 comes in. There is no stigma about it at all. Many movies are 18. Over here, there is the bizarre notion that NC-17 is basically pornography and many theaters will not run it. Now what we face is the fact that American Psycho has been transferred to an R. Hopefully not too much has been cut. I haven't seen the R version yet. But now, kids can go see it if they wish. A 20-year-old can take in a 10-year-old. We never made this movie for kids. That was not the point. I don't wish to see that happening but that is the position that the movie is in.
Q: It is irrational.
CB: Yes.
Q: The other thing that struck me from the Filmmaker magazine interview was that Mary Harron described Bateman as a Martian trying to learn to act human but failing and killing people instead.
CB: Yes, that is sort of how she described him to me: an alien who is trying to understand or fit into society. It was a great description, really, because he is so inhuman but is attempting to understand these things called humans. Attempting to show warmth – and he really does try, you know, but there is just nothing there at all. He makes his confessional phone call. It is like he knows that this will be the moment to really break down and unburden himself and feel remorse. And it is a great representation, but it is not genuine and he sort of puts down the phone at the end and it is sort of like, "Well you know, it was a nice try anyway." I think with the music and things, it is his recognition that people seem to enjoy music and feel something for it and so he has convinced himself that he does feel something for these incredibly banal mainstream songs.
Q: The one thing that crossed my mind when I read Harron's comment is to me, Bateman – especially in Ellis' novel and even in the movie because I think it is an accurate representation of the book – is uniquely American in that he seems to represent kind of a receptacle of the baser parts of materialism and capitalism and the culture of beauty that is so much a part of America.
CB: Yes.
Q: So I think that saying he is a Martian doesn't really get at the Americanness of Patrick Bateman.
CB: The thing is, yes he is an American and he is supposedly living the life of the American dream or this incredibly charmed glamorous life. But he is alienated because he could not fit in outside of his own small world. He couldn't fit in in many places of Manhattan, let alone in the rest of the country, and he is sort of quizzical about quite how people exist down to the point of what is – I remember in the book somebody asking what "broiled" meant and then these characters sort of look at each other in fear like they just have no idea of what goes on outside of their Upper East Side lives. Greed is good, the Gordon Gekko mentality – I suppose it is more obvious when it is associated with America, but there are equivalents all over the place. The reason I like to think of Bateman in that way is just because he is so inhuman that I have to approach him with this stylized point of view and not try to make him into too much of a fully rounded character. There is a chasm there where there really is just wind blowing through and there is nothing present.
Q: And it would be kind of terrifying to think of him as anything other than that.
CB: Yes, thinking that somebody like him could really exist.
Q: There was another article I read referring to the offer on the movie's Web site where it says that you can receive e-mail from Bateman. That seems to disturbingly feed the people who are really devoted to the book in a way that gives you chills.
CB: Right. I haven't actually seen those but yes, I do hear that it is quite disturbing. I spoke with those responsible and said that I wanted to make it very clear that it is not me responding on those e-mails because some people seemed to think it was.
Q: It seems like kind of a tacky marketing technique.
CB: Yes. I feel like it could become somewhat misleading. Obviously, I support the movie entirely and want to help it, but I don't want people to be going in thinking that they are going to see one thing and find something else. This isn't Scream.
Q: Thank God it's not! Is Patrick one of your screen roles that you are most proud of?
CB: Yes. I mean, partly because there is much more involvement when you are playing the title character. And also, just because I felt so immersed in this whole movie because I was on board so early, before there was any money or anything at all. And he was such a great character to play and unlike anything I ever played before. The set was such a good-natured set and everybody was really collaborative and worked excellently together. So yes, I've got really fond memories of it and there was a lot of laughter in making this movie.
Q: I assume there was same major bonding when you overcame the little Leonardo hurdle?
CB: Yes. It took awhile but we did triumph in the end.
Q: You just completed work on the Shaft movie with John Singleton. How was that?
CB: It was quite an experience coming off of American Psycho and going directly to Shaft and witnessing the difference when there is a huge amount of money involved in a movie. Obviously I was not nearly as involved in Shaft as I was with American Psycho just because of the nature of my character. There was a certain amount of relations and things which I just sort of felt, "Right, I am not going to get involved in this because it is going to be distracting." All the ingredients are there to really make something great. I mean, Sam Jackson is great and there are really good actors. Toni Collette and Jeffrey Wright are in it. I do hope that it all works out. I have a number of journalists who said they spoke with Sam Jackson and heard that he wasn't entirely pleased with the whole experience. For me, it was like a big action movie, unlike anything I have ever done, and I really did want to enjoy it so I made sure that that did happen for myself.
Q: The one thing you were saying about money ties back into American Psycho in a way because when so much money is involved, corruption can often happen.
CB: Well, people are just very, very afraid to take risks because suddenly it becomes all about purely the investment rather than the creative point of view so that is where the danger can kick in.

Far from being out of touch, those who made the decisions were very much in touch with the real world as experienced by Silcott and his family over the past eight years. The Criminal Justice Act of 1988 gave statutory effect to Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and gave victims of miscarriages of justice an entitlement to compensation. The decision about whether an applicant falls within the scheme is taken by the Home Secretary, but the amount of compensation is calculated by an independent assessor. Sir David Calcutt, QC, has been assessor since the scheme's inception.
Home Office guidelines set out how the compensation is to be assessed. The figure is not plucked out of the air, as has been suggested, but is calculated according to the normal principles of assessment of damages for civil wrongs. According to the guidelines, the payment is offered in recognition of the hardship caused by a miscarriage of justice. The term hardship is interpreted as meaning not just loss of liberty; an award can be made where there has been a wrongful conviction but no period of imprisonment.
Among other matters, the assessor will take account of 'damage to character and reputation, hardship, including mental suffering, injury to feelings, and inconvenience'. The assessor must also consider how far the situation might be attributable to any action, or failure to act, by the police or other public authority, though the payment is intended to compensate the victim, not punish anyone.
Winston Silcott applied for compensation in June 1992. The Home Secretary decided that he fell within the scheme, and Sir David Calcutt advised an interim payment of pounds 10,000. He has now made a final assessment which Silcott is considering.
At the time of his arrest for the murder of PC Blakelock in October 1985, Silcott was on bail, charged with the murder of Anthony Smith. Bail had been granted by Mr Justice Lymbery, who had taken the much criticised but correct view that the evidence against Silcott in the Smith case was flimsy in the extreme. Silcott's arrest for the Blakelock murder caused him to lose his bail. The five months that he spent in custody between his arrest in the Blakelock case and his trial in the Smith case was solely a result of his second arrest. However, it was rightly accepted by Sir David that the effect of the wrongful conviction had implications that went far beyond the time he spent in custody.
As part of his assessment, Calcutt considered a dossier of press coverage during the months and years after the original trial. It is hard to think of someone who has been vilified by the press as grotesquely as Silcott. There appeared, indeed appears, to be an almost systematic attempt to portray him as sub- human, a monster who enjoys killing. 'Machete monster', 'The face of evil', 'Evil smile of hate' were some of the epithets applied after his conviction, and the campaign of hate continues.
Calcutt took into account the press treatment, stating that 'the publicity surrounding the conviction was of the gravest kind, and the abuse of Mr Winston Silcott and his family was grave. He was portrayed as a monster who exercised a rule of terror over the residents of Broadwater Farm. As a result, his family were vilified by press coverage, abused and harassed at their homes and places of work . . . I accept that there was a comprehensive destruction of Mr Silcott's and his family's name in the national consciousness.'
Calcutt had good reason to take that view. Following the conviction, the Silcotts were barraged with hate mail and threatening phone calls; they were taunted in the street and there were attempts to set fire to their home. The abuse has led to a serious deterioration in both parents' health. There was as little escape for them as there was for their son.
How can it be denied that the effect of the wrongful conviction on both Silcott and his family has been catastrophic? The thinly veiled subtext in the recent press coverage has been that Silcott was guilty as charged. Suffice it to say that the Court of Appeal found the only evidence against Silcott unreliable. Lord Justice Farquharson ended his judgment: 'In allowing these appeals, we wish to express our profound regret that they (Silcott and his co-accused,Engin Raghip and Mark Braithwaite) have suffered as a result of the shortcomings of the criminal process. No system of trials is proof against perjury, but this will be of little consolation to its victims.'
Much has been made of witness statements that were read out in the trial of the police officers DCS Melvin and DI Dingle (who were acquitted of falsifying evidence against Silcott), but it should be understood that the witnesses did not attend court and the evidence has not, therefore, been tested in any way. Nor does the evidence in the statements fit with the known facts of what happened, and in several cases the statements emanate from juveniles whose evidence was found by the judge at the original trial to have been obtained by oppression. One of the witnesses has said since the trial that he had no idea that his evidence was to be used. Silcott's compensation was calculated on the basis that he is innocent of the crime, and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.
Last, but by no means least, Silcott remains in prison as a result of the conviction for the murder of Anthony Smith. The serious concerns about that conviction are cloaked in the blanket of prejudice attaching to the Blakelock case. The Smith conviction needs to be examined by the Court of Appeal at once so as finally to put an end to this sorry story.
The author is a solicitor at Bindman & Partners and acted for Winston Silcott in the Blakelock case.

from Greg Hunter:
On the U.S. dollar, gold and silver expert Craig Hemke warns, "I think, in the grand scheme of things, we are all in trouble because the time of the U.S. dollar being the supreme currency is all going by the wayside. We are entering into a new global financial paradigm in the 21st century. . . . Negative interest rates are here to stay, and the whole western world is getting sucked into that creation by central banks. I am not optimistic that years of bliss and euphoria are coming our way. Maybe the dollar, in the short term, could continue to rise, and many say that means gold is going down. I don't think that is true anymore. The key thing going forward is the banks trying to manage the gold price, and by managing price, they can manage sentiment. By managing sentiment, they hope to control physical demand because physical demand is what will break the banks. That's how the whole circle fits together."Help us spread the ANTIDOTE to corporate propaganda.

I had much the same reaction: The ongoing Time Capsules stay a steady 50
years in the past. We continue forward,
and the bonus capsules move further back, constantly receding, like the light
from those galaxies formed at the Big Bang.
This one, with Jack Kennedy announcing just announcing his
candidacy for president, was poignant.
In the regular Time Capsule, only five years in the future, we have
already seen the entire arc of his presidency, from the narrow victory, to the
ambitious and inspirational agenda, to his assassination.
There are plenty of other changes between 1960 and early
1965: The 1960 DC line-up is distinctly
non-superhero centric. The 1960 king of
pop music was Elvis, dethroned by the Beatles.
"Running Bear" is going to be replaced on the charts by songs from the
Kinks, Beatles, Stones, Righteous Brothers and The Temptations.

I lived too far from the local drug store that sold comics so I was unable to buy any of my own choosing. During the summer of 1960 between first and second grade I fell off my bicycle and put a small gash in the side of my head that required 5 stitches to close. As a reward for being such a brave young boy for having not cried while with the doctor my aunts and uncles got me some comic books. Unfortunately for me they were Harvey comics. Never much cared for Casper or Wendy. Another thing about these early time capsules is that it makes me realize just how distorted one's memories can become; especially so when your trying to recall events that happened when you were a small child...and it wasn't until the later part of the 1960s' that I bought a lot of comics on a regular monthly basis. Up until then my purchases were fewer depending upon my allowance and how many empty pop bottles that I could scrounge up and there were other things to spend the money on as well between various cards and model kits, candies and movies. I once stated elsewhere how much I enjoyed the many Showcase Present volumes because it allowed me to catch up on all the wonderful books that I had missed back then.

Hepcat: "Were you in on the ground floor of the Fly in Double Life of Private Strong 1 as well?"
I began collecting comic books with WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #102, which went on sale in late April 1959. A few days later, I went back to the candy store and bought other books from earlier in April that were still on the racks, and THE DOUBLE LIFE OF PRIVATE STRONG #1 was one of them!

That's different to the non-deferred case which throws an exception on line #402. I'd suggest we do the same for both (throwing the exception). The commented code in prepare that sets the itemsName EL variable is redundant as that is also done in LoopTagSupport line #532 (assuming the Apache implementation of the JSTL API). Looks like this can just be deleted. if that sounds good, I'll contribute a patch for those changes.

$16.00 (discounted 20%; price includes S&H and tax - retail $19.95) 176 pages.
Click on the ADD TO CART button at the bottom of the page to select this item for your purchase list
From the incredibly fertile mindscape of one of Canadas great writers comes a fantastic roller-coaster ride of a story that deliciously titillates as it entwines the reader, seducing, chapter after chapter.Snake City takes the reader into an imaginary kingdom in the waterways of Florida, inhabited by macho gator-killers and feral pigs with murderous tusks for goring two-legged predators. At the centre of this hallucinatory fable are Cottonmouth, a viper with a penchant for salty language, and his long-suffering roommate Freddie, a retired Canadian Snowbird who has stupidly purchased swamp acreage from a disreputable land developer to build his dream cabin. When both Freddie and Cottonmouth fall in love with Hilda, a shape-shifting swamp woman, a nasty ménage à trois develops. Into the grittier picture enters a religious zealot, nicknamed "Yessie" by the locals, and his stalker Handsome Harry, a ruthless alpha-gator who wants to make a fast-food snack of him. Welcome to Snake City, a devouring adventure in pure evil, blood-curdling terror, and exotic dining. Joe Rosenblatt was born in Toronto in 1933. Over the years, he has written more than 20 books of poetry, has appeared in over 30 anthologies of Canadian poetry, and has been translated into French, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Spanish. He is a winner of the Governor Generals award and the B.C. Book Prize for poetry. Since 1980 he has lived in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island with his wife Faye and their generational cats.

Wagyu Breeders Association Germany -
Annual Meeting 2016 on July 1-3, in Havelberg, Germany with CEO Graham Truscott, Australien Wagyu Association Ltd.
At the opening Klaus Möbius, the president of the Wagyu Breeder Association Germany, gave a very special welcome to new members and to Graham Truscott. The association grew in eight years from 9 to 135 members. He informed about the latest developments in the world of Wagyu, about breeding, international formulation of breeding, aims and breed descriptions and publicity.
It is very pleasing that no race in the last few months as much as the media reported about Wagyu. The reports extend over posts in the print media (Beef, national newspapers, regional reports, among others), television programs on various channels of 'arte' to "Farmer Wants a Wife" , Fair Share (Green Week, Euro Animal et al).
It is important to intensify the communication to breeding, fattening and marketing. Klaus Möbius informed daily up certification procedures in Brussels, the forthcoming negotiations for the uniform breed description, characteristics of a breed plan, genetic evaluation, displacement hybrids and genetic peculiarities.
After the report by President Klaus Möbius the famous CEO of Australian Wagyu Association Graham Truscott gave a very interesting and detailed presentation on the Global Wagyu situation, the Australian Wagyu Production Systems, the Wagyu Market Situation and the technical Matters
Australia has 90,000 Wagyu every year Graham Truscott presented further some general marketing strategies and answered in detail the subsequent questions from the members.
In the afternoon we went by ship on the Havel, who was accompanied by representatives of the NABU with information on the restoration and was also used by the association members to discuss topics about the Wagyu breeding and marketing.
In the evening the Wagyu Grillbuffet of grill master Matthias Ganzer , Arthotel Kibietzberg delighted the guests. Besides Wagyu rump, Mr. Ganzer served Wagyu sausages, Wagyu steak, Wagyu ragout and Wagyu meatballs. The Wagyu (marbling 11) was from Havel Wagyu, Ronald Haake and Andreas Schröder GbR.
On Sunday Havel Wagyu invited to Kuhlhausen factory tour. Havel Wagyu is Sachsen-Anhalt's first herdbook breeding, and operates according to biological foundations - but without being biozertifiert. Currently 38 Full Blood Wagyu, 11 pregnancies and crossing and carrier animals are (especially Uckermärker) on the farm, which is expected to grow.
After a short fish- brunch the breeders went back home – very impressed by the hospitality of Havel Wagyu as well as by the new impacts given by Graham Truscott.
Graham and his wife took the opportunity to visit some other ranches in Germany, before they went back to the US.

Ever wonder what would have happened if Arwen had got ahold of the One Ring?
Halloween 2004. Even having a preview screen on the camera doesn't mean you get good photos. I made an "evil" version of the popular "Arwen" dress. Mine was made from black stretch velvet with irridescent green/purple/black sleeves and net fringe on the hem. Purple lipstick, eyeliner, and a few crystal spider pins and hairclips complete the costume. On the left, my husband Jay caught mid-kiss in his cowboy getup from GenCon.
In the picture on the right he's wearing a wizard robe and hat I made a couple years ago. The robe is a discontinued Simplicity patern (#8944). He told all the kids at the door he was a teacher at Hogwart's. Our friends Jesse and Matt are posing with us, waiting for the timer to take the picture.

"Keep calm and be the Editor" this is my message for you Donald, you are panicking for the press because you still think like a Reader while you must do like me: you must think like an Editor, the press says what the owner wants, the only thing that you must know about a media outlest is who's the owner, usually the same person or family owns almost all the media outlets of the Left and they all say the same things because they respond to the same owner who sacks the journalist who dissent. I have a website and no one pays me, I pay wordpress.com around 300 euros per year, pardon 299, to write what I like with a superior level looking theme, instead of the basic one. You must enter the set of idea that you must write the press not reading it passively, the press is not the Ten Commandments, your children, nephews, people of your staff must be editors, directors of a new line of media outlets who push our western christian etc. agenda, we must not think we have to depend on the judgement of Rothschild and Soros, they may own millions of media outlets that say all the same because the owner it's always they.
Think like an editor, not just like a Reader.
Gen. Flynn didn't do anything illegal, it's incredible he resigned for the fuss, it's not illegal to be pro Russia as Paul Joseph Watson and many others pointed out, you must not fire people in your staff to please the enemy,
You must go up in the chain of command and see who's the boss that gives all these little dogs the orders against you, it may be three people, I'm not joking, once a Pope, Paul VI I think, said "freemasonry is controlled by maximum 5 or 6 Jews" all freemasonry, controlled by 6 people, it's a charged revolver. Once you identify your enemy, destroy the boss and piss off the minions. The minions change ally, they deserve contempt and eventually to be arrested, but it's the boss that must be hit.
Gen. Flynn must be reinstated, you must give the narrative of the facts, not accepting Rothschild's narrative of the facts; what's the narrative of the facts, it is the way the facts are told to make them look good or bad using as a material the same facts. The way the facts are exposed.
For Example:
Notice oh you citizen, that nothing done by Gen Flynn is illegal, it's the lefty press and some elements in the CIA that try to pict them as illegal, but they are not.
Gen. Flynn is a man of peace though in the shape of a hard man of war, he knows war and the hardness of it and loathes the idea of useless especially avoidable massacres, he tried so to reach out to a good russian ambassador telling him not to retaliate against the USA and to try to resist to Obama's, the little devil, provocations because if Hillary lost the general elections the war with Russia could be avoided and the new administration could be not so fixed on the sanctions as the warmonger one; the warmonger one is Obama's. He did it for peace and to avoid a bloodshed, he who knows what a bloodshed is and till where useless provocations like Hillary's and Obama's can bring. Hillary, who was the candidate of the "left" and was in fact a neocon plus-plus-plus, without having done personally any war, unlike Flynn who's a general and knows that
a) Russia poses no threat to the Unites States of America.
b) If the referendum in Crimea was legal, the detachment from Ukraine was democratic.
c) Once you start a war with Russia, Iran and China would join and the theater is bound to be central Europe and honestly there's no real cause for this.
To be kind and amicable to a russian is not traison, what Hillary and Obama and the strange neocons did is treason, they've got such a hurry to start this war with Russia, you may believe they all have a bunker somewhere and who are all these CIA elements who want this war? To whom, if not to the President do they respond? They are blatantly not doing the interests of America, maybe they respond to the 6 Jews of Paul VI…
Kind of.
Be the Editor not a passive reader and don't give up to the neocons now. Reinstate Flynn, be a bit shameless, don't make people resign for fuss, he did nothing illegal, he shouldn't resign end of. Since he did, he must be reinstated. People in politics must be shameless because there's so much power at stake the lefty judges try to pull you down because they want the job for someone of their club, and I say lefty but I should say corporativist, it is a news of today that the judges are trying to block Martin Schulz, a german socialist, from interfering with Angela Merkel's race to the german Kanzlerat, they attack also the socialists who do not obey them. They did it with Varoufakis, tried to do it with Corbyn and now Martin Schulz, because they know the Germans don't want Merkel which is their candidate instead, she'd destroy Germany and we must prevent it, so be shameless and don't resign. Flynn did nothing illegal and that's the core of the matter, the sole thing that counts. As for Schulz, for justice, I'll have to defend him, I who don't like his politics, but I know what they want to do, they want Merkel forever, destroying her enemies, on the right and on the left …of Goldman Sachs.

3DA1 Calc for iPhone,
iPad and iPod Touch
The 3DA1 Calc™ app determines how much positive parallax will be in your final stereoscopic 3D image when it is displayed on a 3DTV or in a digital cinema 3D theatre, and is specifically designed for use with Panasonic's AG-3DA1 3D camcorder.
This app has been discontinued and is no longer available for download from the iOS App Store.
Easy to Use
By simply entering the zoom and convergence values (on scale of 00-99 with the Panasonic AG-3DA1) and the distance to the furthest visible BG object, 3DA1 Calc will present the maximum positive parallax in actual width and percentage for your chosen target screen size of 26 inch 3DTV, 65 inch 3DTV or theatrical sized screen (30 feet wide.)
Metric and Imperial units are supported
Use infinity (∞) as the furthest object distance when shooting outside and the horizon or clouds are visible in the distance.
Panasonic 3DA1 Full HD 3D Camcorder
The AG-3DA1 is the world's first professional, fully-integrated Full HD 3D camcorder that records to SD card media. The AG-3DA1 will democratize 3D production by giving professional videographers a more affordable, flexible, reliable and easier-to-use tool for capturing immersive content as well as providing a training tool for educators.
Great tool, it really helps. I recommend it.
Bernie Mitchell AVCCAM On The Road
Save and Load
Save and Load a single set of settings with these Save and Load buttons.
3DA1 Camera to App
Set the app by entering the values from the screen on the camera.
It is extremely important to keep maximum positive parallax under 65mm (approximately 2.5 inches) which is the average human interocular distance. The distance of the viewer to the screen is irrelevant. 3DA1 Calc will warn the user when 65mm is exceeded.

09.06.10{ Brussels, "Financing Culture in Digital Era"
Yesterday, the European Green Party organized an interesting round-table panel in the European parliament on the topic of financing culture in digital era (presentations are available here). In the following I will present my observations.
File sharing will stay and society should find a reasonable and just way to regulate it. Please listen especially to the concept explained by prof. Volker Grassmuck. The idea will be presented by the Greens in the EU Parliament.
In the meantime, individuals, one of them is spokesperson Peter Sunde, who responded to the file sharing phenomenon with the Pirate Bay service, are introducing a new private and voluntary system to reward authors. They prefer to use the word to "flatter" artists. Please check out www.flatr.com.
Meanwhile, the EU Commission probably denied to support the Blind Initiatives, which were to be adopted in favor of the blind and visually disabled in order to limit territorial barriers for distribution of copyrighted works.
Europe has a long way to go to find reasonable solutions!
In the private debate about limitations of non-harmonized copyright systems of the EU member states, which revealed many problems with extremely powerful national collecting societies and with non-working cross border licensing systems, the founder of the MAGANATUNE criticized that EU is not an environment that would foster great ideas and great online business models.
This thought is so very true that I share it publicly.

Question about Nintendo DS Lite Console
My son dropped his Nintendo DS Lite on to a wooden floor. Now it won't turn on. When I plug it in to charge, the charging light stays a solid orange colour but when I push the ON switch, nothing happens. There's no visual damage and it was closed when he dropped it so the screen etc is all fine. It was only dropped from a height of about 3 feet.
Any advice ....... other than having to buy a new one, would be gratefully received.
Many Thanks
Posted by keiron621 on
Remove the battery for a few mins and put it back in and try again?
Its a long shot but theres very little you can do with this, the insides of the DS lite are REALLY small and the only replaceable parts are the screen, buttons, etc. and you cant really fix damage to the board or chips inside which presumably is whats happened here if you get zero response.
Sorry.. :(
