Tacloban, Philippines (AFP) Feb 13, 2014
Football superstar David Beckham visited the Philippines on Thursday to give comfort to survivors of the Asian country's deadliest-ever typhoon -- although not everyone was sure who he was.
Hundreds of survivors of Super Typhoon Haiyan rushed out of their tent shelters in the central city of Tacloban to welcome the global celebrity, who is nevertheless unfamiliar to many citizens of the Philippines, where basketball rather than soccer is king.
"He's so handsome. I heard he plays for the Azkals," gushed mother-of-four Darilyn Bascug, referring to the Philippines' national football team.
Shortly after Beckham's arrival, another woman from the area approached an AFP reporter and asked timidly: "Is that man a celebrity?"
Wearing a black T-shirt with the logo of the United Nations Children's Fund, the 38-year-old ex-England international visited a tent city for several hundred families who lost their homes when giant waves unleashed by Haiyan crashed into Tacloban's coast.
Beckham spent more than an hour inside a UNICEF tent set up as a nursery, where he played with dozens of young typhoon survivors.
The father-of-four stopped to greet babies and children staying in a shanty home made of scrap corrugated iron and wood.
"Very happy, very happy to visit everybody," Beckham told reporters.
"Oh, my God," a young woman screamed as she reached out to grab his hand.
He also visited a warehouse for relief goods donated by the UN in the nearby town of Palo.
Goodwill ambassador
Beckham, who ended his illustrious career last year, is on his second visit to the Philippines in his role as a "goodwill ambassador" for UNICEF.
The star, who was travelling with heavy security, flew by private plane Thursday to Tacloban, one of the areas worst-hit by Haiyan.
Zafrin Chowhdury, communications chief for UNICEF in the Philippines, told AFP Beckham was making a two-day visit to help out in the international humanitarian effort.
"His focus is meeting the children, meeting the families," she said.
The typhoon, one of the strongest ever to hit land, left about 8,000 people dead or missing across the central Philippines in November last year.
It also left more than four million people homeless as it tore up 171 towns and cities with winds of up to 315 kilometres (195 miles) an hour.
Weeks after the disaster, Beckham and his wife Victoria, formerly of the Spice Girls, donated 20 boxes of clothes and shoes to the British Red Cross that were auctioned off to raise money for the victims.
Some Tacloban locals did follow Beckham. The city club's goalkeeper took his two daughters outside the UNICEF tent in a failed bid to get them to meet the Englishman, said businessman Ramil Sumapig, a friend of the keeper.
Sumapig, 42, told AFP he himself watched Beckham on cable television playing for European giants Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Beckham also played in the United States before closing out his career with Paris Saint-Germain in France.
"He played with artistry. He was able to bend the ball," said Sumapig, who nevertheless said his own three children were too young to have seen Beckham in his prime. They idolised Argentina's Lionel Messi instead.
Beckham last visited the Philippines in December 2011, where he played a seven-a-side football match with young Filipinos at a government-run centre for abused or abandoned children.

The Tiara of Pope Paul VI was the last papal tiara worn to date. It was donated by the see of Milan when its cardinal, Giovanni Montini, was elected Pope Paul VI in the 1963 papal conclave. It was this tiara that was used to crown Pope Paul VI in 1963, which was the last papal coronation to date. Previously, the Palatine Tiara had been used in coronations since 1877.
Distinctive design
Pope Paul's tiara was distinctive in many ways. As with some other papal tiaras, it was made of a solid silver exterior over a felt lay. Unlike other tiaras it was almost totally devoid of jewels, with the three crowns represented by three rings that ran around the tiara, on which sat a handful of small jewels in isolation, in addition to the aquamarines set in the center of each of the fleur-de-lis which make up the gold circlet at the base of the tiara.
Though lacking in jewels, Pope Paul's tiara weighs 10 lb (4.5 kg) in contrast to the 2 lb (0.9 kg) weight of the previously-used Palatine Tiara.
Tiara given to the United States
Pope Paul wore his tiara a number of times in 1963, before, in a dramatic act in November 1963, laying it on the altar of St. Peter's Basilica in a gesture of humility to symbolise the papacy's surrender of any claim to temporal power. He never wore it again. It was announced that the tiara would be sold and the proceeds of the sale given to charity. However Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York intervened and arranged instead for the tiara to be bought by the Catholic Church in the United States in 1968.
It is now on permanent display in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.
"Surrender" of tiara praised and condemned
Pope Paul's decision to decline to wear his papal tiara won both praise and condemnation. Liberals and Progressives praised the act as being in step with the "sign of the times" and marking a rebirth of a new, more informal papacy. In contrast Conservatives criticised the act as a betrayal of the traditional papacy. Fringe groups associated with sedevacantist and conclavist organisations suggested that only an antipope would "surrender" the symbol of the papacy in a photo-opportunity, with some groups using Pope Paul's actions as evidence that he was not the true pope.[{{fullurl:{{wikipedia:FULLPAGENAME}}}}#endnote_tcc]
Tiara not abolished
Pope Paul, while choosing not to wear his tiara, nevertheless never abolished the use of papal tiaras, explicitly requiring in his 1975 Apostolic Constitution Romano Pontifici Eligendo that his successor be crowned.[{{fullurl:{{wikipedia:FULLPAGENAME}}}}#endnote_cons] However his successor, Pope John Paul I, after a major argument, refused to wear any tiara. Neither Popes John Paul II nor Benedict XVI opted to wear a papal tiara, though the option remains that Benedict or his successors could do so if they so choose.
- ^ The Montana-based sedevacanist true Catholic Church, among others, makes that claim.
- ^ Romano Pontifici Eligendo (1975), No. 92.
- ^ Universi Dominici Gregis (1996), No. 92.

Published: November 7, 2008 at 12:51 AMWow. That is certainly another bold move for the Mouse. But I like it. We continue to set ourselves so much better than the rest, as evident in such an amazing deal. And with the economy in the shape it's in, it was probably a neccessary move.
Come on people, come to Disney World!! This worries me, because the less attendance at the parks, the less hours and shifts there are available to work, which means less money going into my weekly paycheck...stupid economy!!!
Published: November 7, 2008 at 7:03 AMThis is really bold of disney. I'm just upset that i made plans to go in february two months earlier....
Published: November 7, 2008 at 7:59 AMDisney has their hands in so many things in the entertainment industry, but it's interesting that there are big changes in the theme park division to drum up business. That tells me that it's probably a little worse in the parks then they are letting on. Disney's price of admission has caught up with them and the "magic" it seems... isn't economy proof. Good for them though, they are being proactive about it and giving customers a deal instead of just expecting people to get in the car and follow the yellow brick road. If anyone can afford it, they sure can.
Coincidently, Cedar Fair reported increases in attendence and several other categories. Six Flags releases it's report on 11/10 (hard to tell what that will say). The economic hard times are far from over too. The trend of the staycation may be around for a while, and the regional parks could reap the benefits.
Published: November 7, 2008 at 8:50 AMAll summer long Cedar Point issued steep discounts and deals on their tickets. I wondered all summer long what they heck they were doing. All summer long Cedar Point/Cedar Fair Execs saw this coming, and they ended up with a 3% increase in attendance.
Published: November 7, 2008 at 9:05 AMDisney got bailed out early in the year by a weak dollar, encouraging Europeans to visit, replacing the Americans who couldn't afford the trip.
With the dollar strengthening, the Europeans are moving out of the picture now. Gas is down, but so is employment, investment income and job security, so the Americans are staying at home, too.
Published: November 7, 2008 at 2:04 PMI'm actually trying to talk to the Walt Disney Travel Company to see if I can get it at this new price. I had already booked it June 19 through June 29, but this new deal they have will save us about $400-$450! I'm waiting to hear back now so hopefully it'll be some good news. That is an awesome deal.
Published: November 7, 2008 at 5:20 PMI just checked it out online. It is a great deal and it is even offered with the Deluxe Villas. And as an added bonus they give you a $200.00 dollar gift card at check-in. I'm impressed. As I started to close out my search of certain dates, they sent me a survey asking why I was not booking my trip. This is the first time that has happened when I have searched prices on packages, which tells me that Disney is starting to get a little on the panic side.
Published: November 8, 2008 at 5:51 AMWe were out at EPCOT last night. My wife demanded that we go see Night Ranger who played three sets in the American gardens theatre. She had seen them at Grad Nite in 1983.
Anyway the place was packed.
I have been managing a small project a DHS which had me in that pack most of last week.
Again, the crowds in the park were healthy.
Tomorrow we are taking our niece to the Poly for a character breakfast. My wife (a cast member) had to pull some strings to get a table. We tried booking it three weeks ago only to find all the character breakfasts that day were sold out!
All of this got me thinking (again) the article at jimhillmedia. The article reported that Disney's reservations center had started raising red flags about 2009 bookings as early as last January.
In my humble opinion the economic storm has yet to hit the Disney parks but that the company is already (and has been) preparing for months for its arrival.
Published: November 9, 2008 at 11:55 AMWell, this is a deal guaranteed to help profits for Disney.
1) the base ticket price difference between a 4 day and 7 day ticket is about $7. so that "loss" will be made up with the purchase of one quick service combo meal during any of the three free days.
2) they will lose some money at the hotels, but again a family of 4 will probably spend more than the loss there during the additional three days.
personally, i will stick to the "value season" of september and october and get my free disney dining plan.
Published: November 10, 2008 at 3:39 AMReading the earnings report a little closer...attendance was actually up at Walt Disney World by a small margin, but revenues were down by 4%. All the other Disney parks, including Disneyland, had decreased attendance and revenues, but all things considered, Disney did good in 2008. What has them really worried are their projections for 2009...which is why they are taking steps now.
Anyway, the deal Disney is currently offering was one they used in 2003 to increase attendance and it was a very popular deal. While M. Ryan Traylor makes a good point about the ticket savings (or lack there of), the real deal is the three free nights at a Disney resort + the $200 food/gift voucher. Had I any money left in the vacation account at all, I would be all over this deal. If you stayed at the Beach Club resort, you'd save over $1,000 with your three free nights. What an opportunity to try a deluxe resort for those people who have never had that chance!
Still, a very selfish part of me hopes this deal fails miserably so Disney has to dig even deeper into their vaults for even better deals!!
Published: November 10, 2008 at 8:02 AMI checked on the 4/3 deal and it's of course cheaper. But I can still get a 1400 sq. ft. condo just outisde the south gate in a gated community for a week plus a 7 day ticket for my family of 5 and be $300 under their new deal. They aren't considering the fact that all the house and condo rental people lowered their prices ages ago. So this deal didn't do anything for our family but we were planning on going anyway.
Published: November 10, 2008 at 11:02 AMFinally got a response from them after calling and they switched us to this new deal saving us $484 without changing resorts, our ticket type or anything. I'm really excited about it. We always stay on site because it's really convenient for us and constantly surrounded by "the magic" our entire vacation. While it's expensive to eat out, I really can't see myself cooking most nights while on vacation, so the cost is worth it to us to stay on site and maybe not have the amenities of a kitchen. Besides, we really end up eating one large meal per day anyway, and we are (thankfully) able to afford to eat out.
We wouldn't have cancelled our trip if we couldn't have changed this, but we now have an "extra" almost $500 to spend somewhere else. Very excited that I got into this deal at no additional cost to us.

About JohnnySH
JohnnySH replied to JohnnySH's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingHi Alain Thank you for your reply, I have really ended up replacing the same part, only not from crown but a UK supplier Are you saying the new upgraded design uses a different type of body thermister, If so, can this type of thermister be used on my macro-tech 5000i ? and would it be beneficial to change to this type ? also how does it mount to the heatsink do you have a part number or supplier ? does the new thermister have the same characteristics as the old part anymore info would be very much appreciated as I would like to make my two amplifiers as reliable as possible Thank you for your feed back Kind Regards John
JohnnySH replied to felipetardioli's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingHi Hiss is tied up with the Hi Frequency side of the amplification, most people complain about hums, earth loops, DC Hum etc the low frequency side. So this is quite a rare condition, if no input source is connected to the amplifier and this hiss still existed, then there is an internal fault with the amplifier and thus would need to go to a service center where by an oscilloscope could be used to see exactly what is going on with the amplification circuitry and what is causing this loud hiss. I would have a guess and say this fault lies on the front end amplification of the faulty channel and could be a faulty OPAMP. Simply take your faulty amplifier to a good repair center, it will be much quicker any easier than messing around crown support. Good luck
JohnnySH replied to JohnnySH's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingHi No I did not try a 20k resistor, I first cut the two old thermistors legs from the circuit board and did a resistance check with a analogue ohm meter I always prefer using this type of meter on the lowest possible reading because in draws more current through the part when taking a measurement, thus if part if faulty, it's more likely to show, instead of using a DVM. The good thermister read about 22k and bad thermister read about 1k, with the parts connected to the circuit board I was getting lower reading, so I knew to get true readings I had to isolate the two thermisters from the circuit board. From my two reading 20k and 1k i knew there was problems I then started to investigate thermisters and managed to find a similar device and check the spec of the device and viewed a chart of temperature vs resistance for this part. At 1k on the chart the temperature would have been very high can't quite remember exactly, so I knew this part had failed and was fooling the amplifier in to thinking the heatsink was very very hot. I also knew that both thermisters should have been 20k in value and thus were not. the 4 new parts I ordered were from RS components, RS Number 697-4581, Part Number NJ28PA0203F Made In France By AVX http://uk.rs-online....7633D4E4F4E4526 I did have to sleeve the two legs as the original parts had sleeve coated legs and these new parts did not. apart from that they look identical in every way. A little bit cheaper than what UK Crown distributor wanted to charge me ! and I got the parts next day ! not in 3-4 weeks time. Now when I turn on my amplifier CH1, CH2, Ready Light turn on, NO fans spin until you start working the amplifier One Fixed amplifier, not bad for under a week from failure and at a cost of £2 Hope this helps others, Regards John PS also I was a little shocked that there was so little help, support and input from the tech guys on this forum, though I would like to say thank you to dakos. I'm only too pleased to be a professional electronics engineer and able to repair this type of equipment myself, 1) I know the job has been carried out correctly, 2) It saves me a small fortune.
JohnnySH replied to JohnnySH's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingPlease to say I have repaired my much love amplifier, My diagnoses was spot on, it was the 20k thermister, on the output heatsink, ch2 thermister had gone low to about 1k! Crown UK distributor want to charge me about £16 and I would have to wait for 3 weeks to get the parts from the usa to the uk. I did some research and managed to get the exact same part from a uk electronics supplier for £2 each I have ordered 4 so I can change all thermisters in my 2 crown macro-tech 5000i amplifiers. I am truly amazed that this grade of amplifier uses such a cheap thermister that can fail as has in my case and cause such problems, Even though I have replaced all thermisters with brand new items, I now have little faith in them, I know the could fail again, Crown really does over inflate the replacement cost of there parts, anyway any one else with this problem, you now know how to resolve. regards john
JohnnySH replied to JohnnySH's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingDear Dakos Thank you for you informative reply, I'm still waiting to speak with Crown on Monday, 1) to try to get a circuit diagram and 2) to find out a little more about the thermal sensors and thus what values they should be? When you say the outboard thermal sensors, do you mean the ones on the heatsink ? if so, the values you suggest are different to mine ? The working CH1 from cold is about 6.2k and the bad CH2 is around 1k thus seems to have gone low in value ? Please forgive my ignorance but what are the SMPS thermistors, and where can they be located. I am also a little amazed that such an expensive, high quality well built and constructed amplifier can fail over one poorly designed thermal sensor ? The amplifier was built in 2009, so not very old and it may still be warranted. I appreciate your feedback Thanks again
JohnnySH replied to JohnnySH's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingWell... what a complex amplifier! A little more involved than previous amplifiers I have worked on..... Working with no service manual is no fun but I have opened the amplifier up in my workshop and slowly started to strip out an array of circuit boards. Heading towards testing the main output transistors for problems, thus working back from there. I am pleased to say all output transistors read correctly using an analogue ohm meter, so it looks like the output stage of my maco-tech 5000i is still intact and no damage has been done there ! I next checked the supply voltage to both channels from the Power Supply and all readings read true, so no problems there I then slowly reassembled, board after board, screw after screw and re tested the amplifier in my work shop. from power off, 1) press the front panel power switch to on 2) The fans start slowly, no led's lit on front panel, (so far so good) 3) After about 5 seconds, CH1 Ready LED is on, thus working 4) At the same time CH2 Ready LED is OFF, and Fans run at crazy fast speed, as happened when fault first occurred whilst DJing the other night. So my mind started to look slightly deeper in to the thermal sensing of each channel. I stripped out the chokes for a 2nd time by the output stage to expose output transistor for each channel, embedded in the heat sink of the bank of transistors for each channel is a thermal sensor, thus one for each channel The amplifier and heat sink is stone cold, When using a Digital Ohm Meter to take a reading across the CH1 thermal sensor, the reading is 6.18k when doing the same for the thermal sensor on CH2 (faulty channel) the reading is 1.2k Now I would expect these two thermal sensors to almost read the same value, after all they are on the same cold heat sink. Now when using a analogue ohm meter.... when using ohms x 10 range on the analogue meter CH1 thermal sensor reads 6.k Yet Channel 2 thermal sensor is reading about 1.2K !!!! The same results also are displayed if I change the ohm meter range to x 100 so could this be my problem ?? i.e. a faulty thermal sensor on CH2 ? Thus why my speaker bank was periodically muting about every 2 seconds when fault first showed, i.e. when the thermal sensor for channel 2 was breaking down ? Thus why CH2 READY state is now NOT reached after power up Thus why FANS run at ultra high speed, faster than you could imagine ! Could all this be down to one faulty thermal sensor on CH2 Output heatsink, I have to say I feel I am getting close even without a circuit diagram. This sensor may have failed the other night while I was working and thus shut down CH2 !!! I state the amplifier was working fairly hard so I would imagine the heat sinks may have been quite warm/hot ? just wondering if the sensor broke down with too much heat ? is this a known problem of thermal sensors breaking down for output stage thermal sensing ? any help and feed back would be very much appreciated, I would also like to say how amazed I am at how few output transistors there are in this amplifier and how small they are considering how powerful this amp is ?? Look forward to hearing from you Regards John
JohnnySH replied to JohnnySH's topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingThank you for your reply, appreciated...
JohnnySH posted a topic in Amplifier TroubleshootingHello Any help would be very much appreciated, and thank you in advance My crown macro-tech 5000i amplifier developed a fault whilst I was DJing at a venue tonight, one channel totally died on me and both fans went in to ultra high speed mode. CH2 Ready LED no longer lights up! I own Two Macro-Tech 5000i crown amplifiers, one of the amps has not been used because waiting to purchase JBL subs, The other Macro-Tech 5000i is used every weekend when I DJ, I also own 4 JBL SRX 700 (1 by 15") cabinets I sometimes run 2 SRX700 per channel (4 SRX 700 in total) and other times only run 1 SRX700 per channel (2 SRX 700 in total). For the past 8 months the Macro-Tech 5000i amp has worked faultlessly with my JBL speakers, until tonight !! I was always under the impression Crown was the best in amplifiers, but nerves have now been left in tatters after limping along whilst DJing on only one channel, after the fault occurred and I'm not even convinced CH1 sounded that great after CH2 died! Here's the events of tonight The venue I was DJing in tonight was larger than normal, so I decided to take all 4 speakers out, The first two hours of the night everything worked fine, and the system was running fairly hard level wise, but no problems. As the dance floor started to grow with people, I changed to music to a more dance style and pushed up the level, it's fair to say the system was now thumping. after about 5 more songs I noticed my right hand JBL speaker stack (SRX700 x 2) was periodically cutting in and out about every 2 seconds, I went over to the macro-tech 5000i to turn down the levels and noticed both the fans on the amp were running at ultra high speed blowing very cold air out the back of the amp. I knew I had problems occurring as my amplifier had never done this before ! I turned down both channels to half way on the front controls, I then noticed the right hand speakers (CH2) went off totally, things were starting to go from bad to worse, So I turned down CH2 control to off, and prayed that I would make it through the night with just CH1 and my left hand speaker stack. I must also say even the left hand speakers (CH1) did not sound as crisp and clean as normal, could this fault on CH2 also affect the power/ quality of CH1 ? One other thing I noticed whilst limping through the night on CH1 was... CH2 Ready LED was not lit, But the signal LED did flash for CH2. At the end of the night I powered down the amplifier for 1 minute and powered it back up, both the fans stayed in ultra high speed mode, and CH2 Ready LED would not Light again, so the fault on CH2 is on now all the time. The main reason I chose crown and these very high quality amplifiers is due to the great name crown has and the reliability of crown amps, after tonight my confidence has been shattered. I am an electronics engineer by trade have repaired a few amplifiers in the past, normally output stage etc. I was under the impression the macro-tech 5000i has protection in almost every area of the amplifier, so in theory what I am explaining should have never occurred ? I'm still not sure what has gone wrong inside the amplifier and what caused it, other than driving the system hard. I am based in the UK and plan to open up the amplifier tomorrow in my workshop and start to investigate. I would love a circuit diagram of this amplifier, I have managed to track down the service manual for the macro-tech 2400i which I assume is similar, but it would be good to get the 5000i service manual. Any help form the forum experts and professional guidance as to where to look first in trying to repair my very loved macro-tech 5000i amplifier will be very much appreciated. My concern is, why did this major fault happen in the first place? and will it happen again? Is this a known issue with this maco-tech 5000i amplifier range, are they know to be unreliable ? I have to have faith in the equipment I use / work with, and up until tonight I had total faith in these amplifiers. Also I have never connected a cat 5 cable to the amplifier but I know there is software that can be installed on a pc to view running management of the amplifier, is there a fault logging system built in to the amp to give me any more clues as to what went wrong and why ?? I am in the UK and would really appreciate any help in this matter so I can repair this amp and get a better picture as to what went wrong and why. I await your reply and thank you in advance john

Quick Kale With Bacon
Recipe by smellslikeapickle
This is my go-to recipe for kale. I LOVE it as a side dish with pork chops and risotto. This recipe is from an issue of Bon Apetit listed on the Epicurious website.
Top Review by Nimz1466
This is a great recipe. I've been wanting to try Kale as a side dish and I'm so glad that I picked this one. I didn't have shallots so used red onion but other than that I made as directed. A lot like spinach but with a lot milder flavor that we enjoyed so much more. The bacon is wonderful in this. I added a little fresh lemon juice to mine but DH liked as is. This only served the two of us. I feel sorry for the other two that didn't get any. I'll made this again for sure. Thanks for sharing. Made for New Kids tag game.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 226.79 g bacon, coarsely chopped
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 bunch kale, stems cut away, leaves torn into 1-inch pieces
- 473.18 ml low sodium chicken broth
Directions See How It's Made
- Sauté bacon in large pot over medium heat until crisp and brown. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings from pot. Add shallots and garlic to drippings. Sauté over medium-high heat until tender, about 2 minutes. Add kale and broth. Cover and cook until kale wilts and is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Uncover and cook until kale is tender and most of broth has cooked away, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer kale to bowl. Sprinkle with bacon and serve.

A teenage girl was indecently assaulted by a man during a daylight attack in Sydney's inner west, police say.
Police are now searching for the offender, thought to be aged in his 60s with balding, grey hair, who assaulted the 13-year-old girl in Haberfield on Sunday afternoon.
The teenager was walking along Dalhousie Street about 1.50pm when the man approached her near the intersection with Denman Avenue.
The man spoke to the girl briefly before indecently assaulting her.
"The girl was able to flee, and returned home where she told her parents," police said.
"Ashfield Police were contacted a short time later, and are continuing their investigations into the incident."
The man was described as aged in his 60s, about 165 to 170cm tall with green eyes and balding, grey hair.
At the time, he was wearing a long sleeved light brown shirt with cuffs, a grey vest and brown trousers.
In the wake of the attack, police have urged parents to reinforce the stranger-danger message with their children.
Anyone with information about the assault has been urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

In consumer electronics, there's a shorthand way of suggesting the next big thing will fall flat with consumers; simply raise the spectre of 3D TV, the technology the electronics industry was mad keen on two or three years ago but was ultimately all but ignored by the public.
And yet, here at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the very epicentre of the 3D TV debacle, it was 3D that consumers themselves fell in love with this year. Albeit, a different, more personal type of 3D.
Oculus VR, a virtual reality company out of California, more or less stole CES this year when it showed off prototypes of a pair of goggles, known as Oculus Rift, that immerse the wearer in a 3D virtual reality landscape. The goggles, which can track the movement of the wearer's head so the virtual landscape moves with the wearer, will first appear in computer gaming – Oculus showed it off with a stomach-churning space flight simulator – but could expand into any field. Conceivably, they could even be used as portable 3D TVs one day.
Other 3D technology was a hit too. Asukanet, a Japanese "aerial imaging" company, showed of a 3D holographic display that looked more like they belonged in science fiction, but which nevertheless worked almost flawlessly. The display projected a 3D image into the air in front of a viewer, and the viewer could interact with the image thanks to a 3D camera that tracked his or her finger movements. Think of Tom Cruise in the sci-fi movie Minority Report, only set in Las Vegas in 2014.
Get creative
A similar device, showcased by chip maker Intel, created a virtual 3D workspace that allowed users to manipulate virtual 3D items using what amounted to a virtual 3D knitting needle, before sending the item to a 3D printer to become an actual object.
Of course, there were 3D TVs aplenty too, but this year, like last year, the conversation has moved past 3D and onto more interesting topics, like the sharpness of the display and the blackness of its blacks.
The sharpness comes from a technology known as Ultra High Definition, also known as 4K, which was on show at last year's CES but which is now on the verge of becoming ubiquitous in high-end TVs. Meanwhile the blackness of the blacks, and the richness of the colours in a TV, comes from a technology known as OLED, which looks set to replace LCD and plasma display technology when it eventually becomes cheap enough for ordinary consumers.
OLED TVs were also showcased at last year's CES, as were TV screens that curve like a movie theatre screen. What was different this year was the three innovations were mixed and matched: there were curved 4K TVs; OLED 4K TVs; even curved OLED 4K TVs. Samsung and LG went so far as to display TVs that transformed from flatscreen OLED 4K TVs to curved OLED 4K TVs at the touch of a button on their remote control.
A screen that you can change the shape of, depending on what you're watching? That has to take the prize for the invention that consumers will most likely ignore in coming years. The 3D Prize, if you will.

- Better handling of IP address data.
- Upgrade path provided to migrate from old to new IP address info.
News - May 2012
- 2.0 is out! Thanks for the bug fixes, tweaks and love from Jim Kirkpatrick, JohnV and PeterX...
- The 6.x-1.x branch is now deprecated. When you upgrade to 6.x-2.x (and you should, it's much better!) the IP field you added to users via core the Profile module will be auto-imported into the new
ip_login_userstable, so if you're not using Profile module for anything else it can safely be disabled.
- Integration with User Login page and block, with customisable text and labels
- 'Log in by IP' block with simple auto-login link for those who don't want to use the modified User Login block.
- Users with permission can log out and and back into another account.
- Can be set to auto-login (or not) only on certain pages, or when custom PHP returns TRUE.
- Optional destination address can be set when logged in by IP.
- Lists IP-enabled users on the admin page at 'Site configuration' -> 'IP Login'.
- IP address matching works on:
- Normal single IPs, comma separated:
18.104.22.168, 126.96.36.199
- IP ranges:
- Wildcards:
- Any combination:
127.0.0.1, 123.4.5-66.*, 234.4-5.6-77.*
- Coming soon: IPv6 and Subnet matching via CIDR notation.
- Normal single IPs, comma separated:
- Will work with external caches like Varnish when IP Login is set to auto-login only on specific paths.
How it works
When a user visits any Drupal page (or admin-chosen page), IP Login will:
- Check if the user is not logged in and that IP login hasn't run yet for this session.
- If so, it compare the IP address (using Drupal's
ip_address()function) to IP ranges stored in its own private table in the database.
- If a match is found, IP Login logs the user in programmatically as the account matching the IP address.
- If a matching IP is not found, the user can log in via normal Drupal accounts if they choose to.
- If the user has permission to log out, they can and will be given the option to login back in normally as another user. Users without this permission are auto-logged back in IP Login. This way you can force an IP address to stay associated and logged into an account.
For information on installation, testing, notes & incompatibilities with other modules, please read the IP Login documentation.

I noticed the little light where the wifi icon is on my notebook isnt coming on either,probably meaning my card isnt on when Im running the program.Does anyone know how to change the settings to make this work cause on my old notebook I just booted the program and the wifi came on with the program so I really dont know if its a windows setting or bios.Email me if needed would b much appreciated.

Florence Douglas had now been an inmate of Mrs. Armstrong's household for some months. She avoided making acquaintances, and therefore was often lonely. But she was buoyed up by the thought that Richard Dewey was somewhere in the State, and that the two messengers whom she had sent out would eventually find him. She felt great confidence in Ben, and also in Bradley, who had impressed her as an honest, straightforward man, though illiterate and not at all times superior to temptation.
Her hope had been sustained by a letter received from Ben at the time he and Bradley were on the point of starting for the Sierras, where they had information that Dewey was engaged in mining. Then weeks passed, and she heard nothing. She began to feel anxious for the safety of her two agents, knowing that not alone wild beasts, but lawless men, were to be encountered among the mountains. Should Ben and his companion come to harm, she would be sincerely sorry for their fate, feeling in a measure responsible for it. Still more, Richard Dewey would then be left ignorant of her presence in California, and might return to the East in that ignorance, leaving her friendless and alone more than three thousand miles from her old home.
How would her heart have been cheered could she have known that at that moment Richard Dewey, with his two faithful friends, was but four days' journey from the city! So it happens that good fortune is often nearer to us than we imagine, even when our hearts are most anxious.
While she was trying to look on the bright side one morning, Mrs. Armstrong entered her room. "Miss Douglas," she said, "there is a gentleman in the parlor who wishes to see you."
Her heart gave a great bound. Who could it be but Richard Dewey who would call upon her?
"Did he give his name?" she asked, in agitation.
"No; he said you would know him."
"It must be Richard," she said to herself; and, controlling her agitation as well as she could, she descended to the parlor. She paused a moment before opening the door to regain her self-possession. Then, with an effort, she turned the knob, and entering the room, found herself face to face with Orton Campbell!
It was so unexpected and so bitter a disappointment that an expression of blank dismay overspread her face, and she sank into the nearest chair without venturing on a single word of greeting.
"You didn't expect to see me, Miss Douglas?" said Orton, enjoying the effect of his appearance, for he had never deceived himself with the thought that his father's ward would be glad to see him.
By this time Florence had regained her self-possession, and with it came back scorn for the man whose object in pursuing her she well understood to be love of her fortune, not of herself.
"You are entirely right, Mr. Campbell," she answered. "You are the last person I expected to see."
"You don't appear very glad to see me," he continued.
"Why should I appear so? You know very well that I am not glad to see you," said the heiress, frankly.
"That is complimentary," said Orton, rather provoked, though he knew very well in advance that such was her feeling.
"I suppose you didn't come here for compliments, Mr. Campbell?" said Florence, coldly.
"You are right: I didn't."
"May I ask if you are in San Francisco on business?"
"You take things very coolly, I must say, Miss Douglas. Certainly you cannot be ignorant of my motive in coming here at great personal inconvenience."
"I hope I have nothing to do with your reason."
"You are the sole reason."
"I am sorry to hear it."
"I came to remonstrate with you on the very unwise step you took in running away from your legal guardian."
"My legal guardian, as you call him, though I look upon him as such only as far as my property is concerned, rendered the step necessary."
"I don't see how."
"In plain terms, Mr. Orton Campbell, I believe that you and your father entered into a conspiracy to keep my fortune in the family by inducing me to become your wife."
"I certainly did ask you to become my wife, but it was not because of your fortune," answered the young man.
Florence's lip curled. She thoroughly disbelieved his statement. Though she said nothing, it was clear to him from her expression that she put no confidence in his words.
"You may believe me or not," he said, doggedly; "but why should you think so poorly of yourself as to suppose you have nothing to attract lovers except your money?"
"I may not be so modest as you suppose, Mr. Campbell. I do believe that I have won the love of a true and noble man. My doubt only related to yourself."
"You mean Richard Dewey, I suppose?" said Orton Campbell, with a sneer.
"I do mean Richard Dewey," answered Florence, with composure.
"By the way, he came to California, I believe."
"And you came here in pursuit of him?" he added, with a sneer.
"I came here to find him, knowing that in him I had a true friend, while your father's persecution and your own made me feel the need of one."
"Have you found him? Do you know where he is?" asked Orton Campbell, eagerly.
"I only know he is somewhere at the mines. I have taken steps to find him, and hope eventually to succeed."
"Why don't you advertise?" asked the young man, with an angry sneer.
"Would you advise it?" asked Miss Douglas, coolly.
"No," muttered Orton, for he feared such a step might prove successful. "What steps have you taken?" he asked.
"I prefer to keep them to myself."
"Miss Douglas," said Orton Campbell, after a pause, "all this is very foolish and humiliating. There is only one proper course for you to pursue."
"What is it?"
"Return to New York with me in the next steamer, and place yourself once more under the care of my father, whose protection you never ought to have left."
"'Protection'!" repeated Florence, with bitter emphasis. "What protection did he give me?"
"All that was required."
"'All that was required'? You know very well that you and he had conspired to put me in a mad-house if I would not agree to enrich you by giving you my hand."
"That is not true," said Orton Campbell, rather confused.
"'Not true'? He distinctly threatened to do it as a means of terrifying me into compliance with his and your wishes. It was not until then that I decided to leave your house and seek some place of refuge until time and the law should set me completely free from your family and their machinations."
"It is evident, Miss Douglas, that you are under a delusion. Your way of talking is sufficient to show that your mind is affected. Any good physician would need no other proof."
Florence Douglas looked at him with distrust. Was this a threat, or how should she interpret it?
"It is convenient, Mr. Orton Campbell," she retorted with spirit, "to charge with madness those who oppose us. At home I felt afraid of your threats: here I am secure."
He thought that perhaps he had gone too far, since the young lady was independent of him, and it was not certain that he could gain possession of her.
"Miss Douglas," he said, "I have already told you that you have taken an unwise step. There is one way to remedy it, and I hope I may be able to induce you to take it. Let me assure you that I have called upon you as a friend, as a warm friend, as one who seeks to be something more than a friend."
"Well, sir?"
"Let me urge you to consent to an immediate marriage with me, and to accompany me home on the next steamer. My father will receive you as a daughter, and never allude to your flight."
"I suppose I ought to thank you for your disinterested proposal, Mr. Campbell, but I can only tell you that you ask what is entirely out of the question. This is final. Allow me to wish you good-morning."
"But, Miss Douglas--"
She did not turn back nor heed these last words, and Orton Campbell found himself alone.
He rose slowly from his seat, and an evil look came into his eyes. "She has not done with me yet," he muttered as he left the house.
Sorry, no summary available yet.

The battle for saves in the National League is going to be wild. There are very few situations where you can say there's no doubt who the closer will be come Opening Day. Grabbing potential relievers late in deeper mixed leagues and for a dollar or two in an auction could pay big dividends.
It won't always work out, but at worst they could provide good ratios. Here are some relievers to keep in mind for draft day. I went over some deep sleepers and potential arms in the American League that could get saves at some point yesterday.
RP Carter Capps, SAN DIEGO PADRES
The last time we saw Capps pitch he was dominant. That was in 2015 with the Marlins, but he missed all of last season due to Tommy John surgery. Staying healthy has been a problem since Capps arrived in the majors with the Mariners in 2012. He has pitched 135.1 innings in the majors. In 31 innings with the Marlins in 2015, Capps had a 1.16 WHIP, 0.81 WHIP, a 58:7 K:BB ratio, averaged 98 miles per hour with the fastball and had an insane 25.4 percent swinging strike rate. Brandon Maurer is expected to open the season as closer, but he doesn't have a great track record and if Capps proves healthy and pitches like he did before the injury, he could close.
RP Koda Glover, WASHINGTON NATIONALS
It would be surprising if the Nationals don't trade for a proven closer at some point. I think Shawn Kelley opens the season as closer barring a trade, but it seems like the Nationals are worried about his durability as Kelley had two Tommy John surgeries. Kelley has pitched well in relief the last two seasons. Blake Treinen is in the mix, too, but some Nationals beat writers believe Glover could close during the season. Glover pitched 19.2 innings with the Nationals last season, averaging 96 with his fastball and 90 with the slider. He's someone to get in the 50-round draft champions leagues and NL-only leagues.
RP Daniel Hudson, PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Watson has been a good reliever for several seasons, but last year was one of his worst seasons. Watson will open the season as closer, but he might not keep the job long if he doesn't improve over last year when he had a 1.33 HR/9, a 38.4 percent fly ball rate and a 4.37 FIP. In 67.2 innings, he had a 21.3 percent strikeout rate, 7.4 percent walk rate, 3.06 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. The surface numbers weren't great for Hudson with the Diamondbacks last season, but the underlying stats show a potential closer. He allowed 15 earned runs in seven July innings to inflate his ERA. Hudson struck out 33 in 27.1 innings in the second half, had a 12 percent swinging strike rate, 32 percent fly ball rate and 27.7 percent hard hit rate. Juan Nicasio is another name to keep an eye on. As a reliever Nicasio had a 75:20 K:BB ratio.
RP Hector Neris, PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
The Phillies plan to start the season with Jeanmar Gomez as the closer, but we saw him fall apart in the final months and he doesn't have a great skill set. Joaquin Benoit might close since he's the veteran. Neris could be in the mix, too. In 80.1 innings last season, he had a 31.1 percent strikeout rate, 9.2 percent walk rate, 2.58 ERA, and 1.11 WHIP. He had a 15.4 percent swinging strike rate. He will need to throw more first-pitch strikes to keep the closer role if he gets his shot.
RP Adam Ottavino, COLORADO ROCKIES
Ottavino should be the closer for the Rockies. The Rockies signed Greg Holland to a one-year, $7 million deal with incentives that could get the deal to $14 million. Holland had a 1.86 ERA and a 358/91 K/BB ratio in 256.1 innings from 2011-14. He saved 47 games in 2013 and 46 the next season. He saved 32 games in 2015, but was limited to 44.2 innings and clearly wasn't the same and had Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss the 2016 season. Holland has a career 0.45 HR/9 but pitching in Kansas City is way different than Coors Field. Holland was averaging 95-96 miles per hour with his fastball that decreased to 93.6 miles per hour in 2015. Ottavino looked well on his way to a dominant season in 2015. In 10 games, he pitched 10.1 scoreless innings and allowed three hits, two walks and struck out 13. Then he had an elbow injury leading to Tommy John surgery. Ottavino returned late in the season pitching 27 innings in 34 games. He had a 2.67 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 35/7 K/BB radio. He's a ground ball pitcher and has a career 29.9 percent fly ball rate. His velocity went from 95.7 miles per hour on his fastball in 2015 to 93.8 last season.
RP Addison Reed, NEW YORK METS
Reed was great last season as the setup man. Jeurys Familia is likely to be suspended for an alleged domestic violence incident. Reed might only close for one month depending on the length of a potential suspension for Familia, but one month of saves is valuable and if Reed pitches like he did last season with a 1.97 ERA, 0.94 WHIP. 10.55 K/9 and 1.51 BB/9, he will be someone worth owning even as a setup man.
RP Drew Storen, CINCINNATI REDS
The Reds might use Raisel Iglesias for multiple innings instead of closing. If that happens, Storen could be the one to get the saves. He was excellent for the Nationals in 2015. He struggled for the Blue Jays last season and turned it around when he went to Seattle. His velocity dropped from 94 miles per hour in 2015 to 91.8 last season. If he can get that velocity back, he has the skills to close.
RP Arodys Vizcaino, ATLANTA BRAVES
Jim Johnson is slated to open the season as closer. He had one of his better seasons after two horrible seasons the previous two seasons. The risk is Johnson going back to pitching poorly or being traded. Vizcaino throws hard and has ability. He converted six of seven saves in the first two months and then struggled right before the All-Star break and landed on the disabled list with an oblique injury. Control has been the problem in addition to staying healthy. Mauricio Cabrera could be the darkhorse. Cabrera averaged 100 miles per hour with his fastball in 38.1 innings with the Braves last season. Cabrera only had a 7.51 K/9 and struggled to throw strikes with a 4.46 BB/9. If he shows he can throw more strikes, he could be in the mix.
RP Brad Ziegler, MIAMI MARLINS
I like A.J. Ramos, but he does have control issues and it seems like the Marlins don't have a lot of patience with him. Ramos converted 40 of 43 saves last season and while he does make it interesting, he usually gets the job done. Since 2014, he has BB/9s of 6.05, 3.33 and 4.92. He has allowed eight home runs the last three seasons, including one in 64 innings last season. If Ramos struggles, Ziegler could get the call. Ziegler is not overpowering, but he gets a lot of ground balls and has saved 52 games the last two seasons. Kyle Barraclaugh had 113 strikeouts and 44 walks in 72.2 innings, but the Marlins may want to use him for multiple innings and high leverage situations.

Global media giant News Corporation is mulling over options for its large cash balance and a decision is expected in the next three months.
The company held $US8.18 billion ($9 billion) cash at March 31, said its third quarter accounts released on Wednesday.
News Corp chief financial officer
News Corp chairman and chief executive
"We are well aware that our balance sheet is inefficient at the moment given the amount of cash we have," Mr Murdoch said in a conference call.
"We are looking at all our options to make best use of this cash and expect to take actions within the next three months."
News Corp had $US13.5 billion in current and non-current borrowings at March 31, and repaying some of that is one option for the company.
Mr Murdoch said News Corp was always looking to make "accretive investments that generate a good return for shareholders", but had held off over the past year due to concerns about the global economy.
"We've not done this in the last year because we've been nervous, we've felt that the world economy wherever we looked, looked pretty fragile," Mr Murdoch said.
"Now there is a growing air of confidence so we'll see."
Mr DeVoe said News Corp intended to provide guidance on what approach it would take at or before the full-year earnings announcement in three months.
"This is an important area of focus for us," Mr DeVoe said.
Recently, News Corp sold its stake in Bulgarian television business bTV and 90 per cent of its Dow Jones stock-market index business.
The media group owns news agency Dow Jones, MySpace, 20th Century Fox movie studios, Sky Italia and newspapers in Australia, the UK, the US and elsewhere, among other properties.
It has lifted earnings guidance for the full 2009-10 year, but says it expects its fourth quarter earnings to be down on the prior year.
News Corp said on Wednesday it expected to report operating income growth in the "high 20 per cent range" in 2009-10 from the $US3.44 billion reported in 2008-09.
Its previous guidance, announced in February, was for operating income growth to be in the low 20 per cent range.
But the company said it expected fourth quarter earnings to be down from the prior year, due to year-on-year timing of releases of movies.
News Corp said its filmed entertainment segment was likely to report lower earnings to the tune of about $US100 million in the fourth quarter, compared with the prior corresponding period.
News Corp reported net income (net profit) of $US839 million for the three months to March 31, down from $US2.7 billion in the prior corresponding period, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
The prior year's result included a net gain of $US1.2 billion on the partial sale of its ownership stake in NDS, as well as a $US1.2 billion non-cash tax benefit, News Corp said.
Third quarter total segment operating income, or earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) was $US1.25 billion, up 55 per cent from $US810 million reported a year ago.
The result beat market consensus, which was for News Corp to report EBIT in the vicinity of $US989 million.
Mr Murdoch said the earnings result confirmed "no content company is stronger than News Corporation at building both fiscal and operational momentum".
"Our global portfolio of sought-after content is ideally situated to benefit from the increase in consumer spending, advertising and access to new platforms we are seeing across our regions," he said in the statement.
Total revenue rose by 19 per cent to $US8.8 billion, with growth reported in all business segments.
Mr Murdoch said the "unique strengths" of News Corp's cable television channels, which he described as "young, vibrant franchises with phenomenal growth and potential", generated almost half the company's operating profit.
This would ensure that "stakeholders will continue to benefit from News Corporation's sustained revenue, profit and cash flow strength for years to come", Mr Murdoch said.
News Corp said the result reflected "particularly strong earnings growth" at its filmed entertainment, cable network programming, and newspapers and information services segments.
But earnings declined at the company's direct broadcast satellite television and the "other" segment.
News Corp said operating income at its filmed entertainment segment rose 76 per cent to a record $US497 million.
It was the highest operating income for any fiscal quarter for this segment and reflected the success of smash hit movie Avatar, which is the highest grossing film of all time with global box office takings of more than $US2.7 billion.
News Corp's television segment reported operating income of $US40 million, up from $US9 million in the prior corresponding period.
The company's cable television properties booked a 38 per cent lift in operating income to $US588 million, highlighted by the continued success of the Fox News Channel (FNC), which achieved its highest ever quarterly profit.
"Viewership at FNC was at its highest level ever during the quarter with ratings 188 per cent greater than its nearest competitor in prime-time and 157 per cent higher on a 24-hour basis," News Corp said.
News Corp's newspapers and information services segment reported operating income of $US131 million in the third quarter, up $US102 million from the prior corresponding period.
Increased advertising revenue at The Wall Street Journal and the company's stable of UK mastheads, as well as lower costs, drove growth in the segment, News Corp said.
News Corp said its Australian newspapers third quarter results were in line with the prior year, in local currency terms.
Advertising revenues, in local currency terms, were up 4 per cent compared with the prior corresponding period, reflecting stronger display revenue in the retail and real estate sectors.
But the increased advertising revenue was offset by higher newsprint expenses and costs associated with various initiatives, News Corp said.

Fla Education Summit: School Grade Safety Net May Stay Intact
Florida may be keeping a safety net provision that kept more than 150 schools from getting an F grade this year.
Interim Education Commissioner Pam Stewart said Tuesday that state officials will discuss in October whether to keep in place a rule that would limit a school grade from dropping more than one letter at a time.
This ``temporary'' rule was first adopted in 2012 but the State Board of Education narrowly voted to keep it intact for this year. If the board were to vote yes it means the rule would be in place for grades handed out next summer.
Each year the state hands out A-to-F grades that are used to reward top schools and sanction those that get failing marks.
Stewart and education officials from across the state are attending a three-day summit in Clearwater, which wraps up on Wednesday.

Reviewed by Andrew Kasch
Starring Richard Tillman, Jessie Ward, Graham Norris, Steve Railsback
Directed by Shawn Papazian
Distributed by Warner Home Video
The latest movie in the "Sequels No One Asked For" category, Rest Stop: Don't Look Back reunites most of the cast and crew to expand the mythology and answer lingering questions from the original. The only question they don't answer is why we should care?
Warner's Raw Feed label has churned out several interesting D-TV titles like Otis and Believers, so it's a bit disheartening to see them go back to a mind-numbingly stupid movie like Rest Stop and attempt to turn it into a franchise. The first film was a moronic Duel-like slasher with bad David Lynch/Twilight Zone-esque overtones. True to fashion, this sequel is more of the same, amped up: We get more gore, more set-pieces and stupider characters.
The cliched sequel plot follows Tom, the brother of Jesse (who was the boyfriend of the girl in the original, as I'm sure you've forgotten). Hitting the road with two teenage pals, Tom decides to retrace his brother's steps so he can learn of his fate and discovers the "Rest Stop of Doom." The trio quickly finds themselves separated where they run afoul of the evil Driver and ghostly Winnebago Family from the first film. More torture and road rage ensues.
Ironically, Rest Stop: Don't Look Back demands that you look back at the first film if you hope to grasp what the hell is going on. The end result is like Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning cranked up to even more ridiculous levels, which is to say that it's a sequel that spends all its time filling in the blanks to characters and events we couldn't give two shits about. Want to know the origins of The Driver? Where the Winnebago Family came from? What happened to the last survivors? The filmmakers think we do, but it's clear they're far more interested in the mythology than their own audience. Let this be a lesson to everyone attempting a franchise: Make sure your villains are iconic before you treat them like icons.
Rest Stop had one of the single dumbest heroines in horror history. To compensate, we get three equally annoying leads: Tom is the mindless gung-ho hero. His girlfriend, Marilyn is a beach-blonde bimbo who mis-uses the word "fuck" more than Lohan in I Know Who Killed Me. And then there's "comic-relief" Jared, the annoying best-friend character who couldn't even pass for a sidekick in a Rob Schneider comedy. Furthermore, nothing these three characters do over the course of the movie makes any sense whatsoever. Like the girl in the first film, they lack even the most basic survival instincts of an 80's slasher victim, yet they manage to stay alive for most of the movie.
Virtually everything in Rest Stop 2 feels like an extension of the first – from the cinematography and direction, right down to the god-awful writing. The only thing that's welcome is returning composer Bear McCreary who delivers a better score than this movie deserves. In fact, the closing credits tune (sung by Brendan McCreary, who also did Battlestar Galactica's infamous "All Along The Watchtower" cover) is better than anything you'll find in this drab of a film.
The DVD offers up the usual host of deleted scenes and an alternate ending, all of which were cut for a reason. There's also a commentary by writer/producer John Shiban and director Shawn Papazian where the two spend the entire talk describing scenes as they play out while congratulating their own work (they also repeatedly use the term "peaks and valleys" to describe every arc in the film). Rounding things out is the ironically-titled featurette "Doomed to Repeat: The Mythology of Rest Stop." Guess what that one's about? Overall, there's nothing in these supplements that give any real insight to the film. It's all standard studio fluff. To further confound things, the film's Blu-ray cousin has not a single one of the above mentioned features. It's as bare-bones as they come. Well at least those with high-end movie watching tech can be spared.
Rest Stop: Don't Look Back is so much like the first that die-fans (all six of 'em) will most likely dig it. More casual viewers will find this messy sequel both uninteresting and entirely inaccessible.
Thanks, but no thanks.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (Feb. 24)
The Supreme Court here granted a temporary injunction today against the Standard Bank of Cape Town, freezing securities held by the bank for the National Bank of Egypt which a Jewish couple claims were confiscated from them by the Egyptian Government. In a petition filed in the Supreme Court here, Eli Leon Gani and his wife, Narguerite, who emigrated from Egypt to France in 1964, asked to be declared the owners of the stock in a number of South African companies.
Mr. Gani, who resides temporarily in London, declared in an affidavit that, in 1956, after the start of the Sinai campaign, under the threat of imprisonment, he was forced to sign documents transferring the stocks to the Egyptian Government, which immediately transferred the shares from Barclays Bank here to the Standard Bank in Cape Town, where they have remained since; Mr. Gani, who was a Greek citizen although born in Cairo, said that, after leaving Egypt, he filed claims through the Greek consulate in the Egyptian capital for the stocks and other properties confiscated by the Cairo Government.
The case has aroused widespread interest in legal circles here because it concerns principles of international law with respect to confiscation of property on the basis of religious discrimination. David Cohen, attorney for the Ganis, cited cases in England where British courts had refused to recognize confiscations by the Nazis of property belonging to Jews. After granting the temporary injunction, barring the withdrawal of the securities by the Egyptian National Bank, Justice Watermeyer postponed further hearings on the case until April 27.

The facilities were pretty dirty. The toilets didn't flush properly - the bathroom smelled like urine and feces. Our blankets were ratty and didn't look very clean. The hosts were pretty nice and so were our fellow guests but overall I thought that it was not a great value for $40 a night - I've stayed in places elsewhere for the same amount and it wasn't nearly as dirty or cold.
