'Moon' and other sci-fis that don't talk down to you
Published: Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 12:04 p.m.
There are two different kinds of science-fiction movies. The more common variety are basically action movies set in space or the far-flung future. Because of the setting, these movies are considered sci-fi, although they have absolutely nothing to do with any discipline of science. This would include "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Terminator" and the like.
Nate Rates It:
"Moon" – Rent It
"Sunshine" – Rent It
"2001: A Space Odyssey" – Buy It
While some of these movies can be terrific, I rather prefer the other kind of sci-fi - what I like to call cerebral sci-fi.
In this type of movie, the ideas are what drives the story. While often set in the same fantastic locales of regular sci-fi, these films are rich with though-provoking concepts, using science and psychology to tell a story that inevitably deals with the nature of man. There can be special effects in cerebral sci-fi, but they don't need elaborate effects because they have science (or something close to it, anyway).
These kind of movies are few and far between, but the latest example is a quiet movie titled "Moon."
"Moon" stars Sam Rockwell as the lone astronaut in an automated mining station on the dark side of the moon. With his only company being the detached robotic voice of GERTY (Kevin Spacey, who is perfect because he already sounds like a machine), Rockwell tends the machine, keeps watch and bides his down time carving figurines and watching '70s sitcoms.
He is nearing the end of the his three-year contract, when he will be shipped back to Earth and his beloved wife and daughter. But then something weird happens (I won't say what) and he gets into an accident (I won't say how) only to wake up in the infirmary, feeling strange and being tended by GERTY.
I couldn't say another word without giving something away, and the best part of a movie like "Moon" is figuring it out as you go. Suffice to say, things on the moon are not quite what they seem, and Rockwell has some incredible discoveries to make.
I don't want to build this up to more than it is. "Moon" is a deliberate film, not dull but definitely enjoying the stroll and not in a hurry to get anywhere. Some viewers may not enjoy it - there aren't killer robots, space alien death ships or physics-defying explosions. The special effects are good (the moonscapes are elegantly bleak) but they aren't important, and "Moon" knows it.
If you like smart movies and being engaged by a film that doesn't talk down to you, then "Moon" is for you, even if you aren't a science-fiction fan - which, for the record, I am not. But a good movie is a good movie, and "Moon" is a good movie.
The last cerebral sci-fi movie I saw came out more than a year ago. It was director Danny Boyle's last film before "Slumdog Millionaire." It's called "Sunshine," and it shows that Boyle is as versatile as he is gifted.
Cillian Murphy leads an ensemble cast as a crewmember of a spacecraft sent to drop nuclear payloads into the dying sun in an attempt to reignite it and save a freezing Earth. Everyone involved knows they probably won't make it home, but they are the planet's only chance. What they discover on their journey to the heart of the galaxy is dark and sinister and makes for a compelling sci-fi flick.
"Primer" is a movie that relies entirely on science-based concepts and has absolutely no special effects of any kind. Two engineers accidentally create a time machine, but the quantum mechanics of this mysterious box are hard to wrap your mind around. "Primer" is a puzzle box of a movie, challenging you to try and keep track of the twists and loops in the story.
"Gattaca" deals with the science of genetic engineering and how it could change and guide society. Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman star in this slick thriller about a genetically inferior man who cons his way out of the underclass by posing as a man with better genes.
And there are many others worth mentioning - "Altered States," "Blade Runner," "Dark City" and "Silent Running" are all bold, exciting films with a dark intelligence shining through.
And, of course, the most perfect example of cerebral sci-fi is the classic "2001: A Space Odyssey."
Here is an absolute masterpiece of cinema, using sci-fi to tell a story about the complete evolution of human consciousness. It's simple perfection had a profound effect on all of science-fiction, and it's influence is still felt in every cerebral sci-fi being made.
Like in "Moon," where GERTY could very well be the young, nicer brother of "2001's" HAL.

Audrina Patridge Gets Fashionable (and Topless) for Bongo (PHOTOS)
The Hills beauty and Bongo have unveiled photos and a video from her upcoming fall line for the brand, and she looks pretty darn good in the ads and behind-the-scenes photos that Celebuzz has obtained. Whether it's in cute tees and jeans or just denim and absolutely nothing on top, it's pretty safe to say that Bongo has made a good choice in Audrina.
On the opportunity and shoot, Audrina says:
"It was an amazing experience shooting my first television commercial. The concept for the campaign was playful yet sexy and I got to dance around on set which is always fun … I love Bongo because there are so many great options to choose from that are affordable and fashion forward. Bongo has all the fall trends from animal prints to graphic T-shirts."

Krux Releases Tag Proliferation Research
Study Also Highlights Data Security Risks and Lack of Standards Across the Web
San Francisco, CA, November 17, 2011 -- Krux (KruxDigital.com), the technology leader in audience data control solutions, today released research findings (http://bit.ly/kruxtags) on tag proliferation and its implications for web performance and website data security. The report reviews the state of the market, highlighting the business improvement opportunities for website operators and challenging the industry to seek better standards for measuring web performance.
Using proprietary cloud-based data scanning techniques, Krux sampled a representative set of URLs from more than forty top US consumer-oriented websites throughout October 2011. From that sample, the company calculated the number and types of JavaScript tags observed across web pages, measured typical page load times against both the Content Ready and On Load markers, and evaluated the types of tags present and their relative contribution to overall page latency and data leakage.
The research surfaced five key findings:
- Consumer web operators are suffering from 'tag bloat,' with an average of 25 tags per page across the sample, peaking at a staggering 121 tags.
- Tag proliferation erodes web performance, Krux observed significantly delayed page load times as a result of web operators' expanding use of tags to enrich their websites.
- Third-party tags pose serious risks to website operator data security, with an average of nearly 30 data collection events per page view (with an 'event' defined as anytime a cookie is set, referenced, or modified on a consumer's browser).
- Tag count and page latency are only loosely correlated, indicating a marked lack of standardization when it comes to the management, prioritization, and execution of tags in support of page performance optimization. Website operators are crying out for new, intelligent approaches to tag management.
- The industry as a whole requires new metrics for measuring web performance and its connection to tags.
Krux undertook this study to provide clearer insight into tagging, latency, and data security challenges facing the industry. The research reflected some surprising insights. The analysis uncovered sites burdened by as many as 120 tags, consumers suffering through load times nearing 15 seconds, and nearly a third of data collection being conducted by parties who may be intentionally obfuscating their sources and purposes.
The report offers the Krux perspective on the role tags play across today's consumer web; and an analysis of tag proliferation and its implications for web performance and data security. It also explores best practice considerations for website operators as they tackle the tagging conundrum. And finally, in the appendix, the company issues a call to action for the industry to anchor on a new set of standards for gauging web performance.
"Recent technology advances give web operators the tools they need to regain control, grow their business, and ensure the safer, faster, and smarter web experiences consumers have come to expect," said Tom Chavez, Krux co-founder and CEO. "But technology is only part of the answer. We issue a challenge to the industry -- for all parties to raise the bar on transparency, data security, and web measurement standards overall."
One such solution, Krux SuperTag, acts as an 'ad server for JavaScript'. It provides publishers with full tag lifecycle management; including workflow, flighting, pacing, and targeting – striking the right balance of control over tagging between AdOps pros and their IT counterparts. Further, it serves as a secure gateway through which an operator can manage all of its data transactions. This ensures that their trusted partners have access to the right data at the right times – and only then. Most importantly, it can deliver page load improvements in excess of 30% through sophisticated tag parallelization, data throttling, and real-time decision making to balance user experience and revenue opportunity.
As Mr. Chavez summed it up:
"Excessive page latency equals revenue loss, and unfettered access to websites by third-parties leads to significant opportunity cost from data leakage and theft. Website operators need to ensure optimal web experiences for consumers and to protect the precious media and data assets on which their businesses were built. Tag management is only part of the solution, but it's likely one of single the best places to start."

Dlo no ballo?
Some of you cant get past the hate. I feel sorry for you.
And I think the head coach knows who deserves the game ball.
Some of you cant get past the hate. I feel sorry for you.
And I think the head coach knows who deserves the game ball.
I don't hate AE, but his getting the game ball for yesterday is much akin to a Participation Trophy.
There's only one player who deserved the game ball yesterday and he didn't get it. Not that I think it was much of a big deal to that one player. He's probably happy they gave his game ball to AE. ;)
1 play and he gets the game ball? Big play yes... but was it game ball worthy?
Armanti earned himself a roster spot with that return...on someone else's roster. He won't be jobless.
D-Lo 210 yards...if we didn't get the production out of him, the AE PR is for nothing.
The players don't take game balls anywhere near as seriously as you all do. Hell, sometimes assistant coaches get the game ball. Rivera was probably making more of a statement about how a crucial big play can be all the difference in a game, and AE's run certainly helped put the kibosh on the Saints.
They should have given the ball to Williams and a signed jersey from the punter to Edwards.
Probably the only tackle for the punter all season and it came in the last game...lol...
DLo, CJ, Tolbert, Murphy all contributed more.
I don't hate AE and I've been a supporter of his since the draft, but he didn't deserve the gameball. I really think that was RR citing his perseverance and hard work.
It was a pity gift
Why do people think that return was so special? There was a huge lane. He didn't have to make a single move. It was just catch the ball and off to the races. A race he lost to the punter.
I don't hate AE. I wish he would've worked out. He just didn't. He's almost certainly done in the NFL. I highly doubt he makes another NFL roster. In hindsight, he was done a disservice by being drafted so highly. His high draft position meant he stuck around far longer than he should have. He should've went straight to the CFL as a QB. I think he could've been a star up there. Now you have to wonder if he's been away from playing QB too long to make the transition back.

text: Posted September 5, 2011 I think we should draft him if we're in position to in April. MJG just signed a one year deal, Otah is always banged up and Gross is getting older and more expensive. He gives us instant depth, security and a guy who can replace either of our OT's when the time comes. Not a sexy pick, but I believe in building teams from the inside out.

"It was so neat having Coach Mullen here," Murphy explained. "I had a lot of family here and a few friends and some of them were sort of in awe. It was sort of surreal for me too. This is really happening. Coach Mullen was in my living room visiting with me and my family. It really seems real."
Mullen took the time to lay out the plan for Murphy for this weekend and the next few years.
"We talked about my flights this weekend and what to expect on my official visit," Murphy shared. "He talked to me about expectations and hard work. I knew about all of that before I committed. I want to play for a hard working school and I know that's what I have at Mississippi State."
The three star standout is eager to get back to Starkville to spend some time with the Bulldog players and future friends and teammates also on their official visits.
"I enjoy making new friends and meeting new people," Murphy said. "I am excited about being around all of the other visitors this weekend and I want to see all of the friends I already have in Starkville like Nick Fitzgerald and some of the other players. It's always great when I go down there and I can't wait to get back."
Murphy has no plans to visit any other schools and is set to begin his Mississippi State experience in a few months.
"I am just ready to finish up and get down there," Murphy said. "I am supposed to report June 6th and then I will be there and getting ready for the season. I am excited to get down there this weekend and see everything. I just love the atmosphere at Mississippi State and I am ready to be around my family and all of my future teammates."

US Infantry Equipments 1775 1910 (Men-at-Arms)
The development of US Army infantry equipment has been a story of trial and error, of adopting new designs to meet new problems. It was not until 1910 that a whole system of equipment, including everything from the waist belts to the canteens to the cartridge-carriers to the haversack, was officially adopted. Prior to that, each piece of equipment was designed to meet a specific need, without any consideration of anything else the soldier had to carry. Packed with photographs and illustrations, this book explores the history of US Infantry equipments from 1775 to 1910, covering everything from blankets to bayonets.

In the movies, this would be the hero pulling the damsel off the train tracks with seconds to spare. San Diego's PGA Tour event at Torrey Pines has a title sponsor for this year, and the save couldn't have been much more last-minute or lauded.
The tour and the Century Club of San Diego announced yesterday that the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies will be the title sponsor for next week's tournament, which will be called the Farmers Insurance Open.
"This was the eleventh hour of the eleventh hour," Tournament Director Tom Wilson said with a laugh.
Farmers CEO Bob Woudstra said he was approached by PGA Tour officials and didn't begin extensive talks about the tournament until this past weekend.
Woudstra, 64, said Los Angeles-based Farmers' stature in Southern California and the opportunity to contribute to charity were the biggest factors in stepping up to sponsor the tournament. Farmers has been headquartered at the same Wilshire Boulevard address since 1928, is the largest auto insurance supplier in California and employs nearly 10,000 people in the state.
"I really see clearly what the PGA Tour does from a charity standpoint," Woudstra said. "All the money goes back to local charities, and all I know is that in these economic times charities have a big challenge, just like a lot of businesses.
"This is our way to step up and help our home state along those lines."
Financial terms of the sponsorship were not disclosed. Rick George, executive vice president and chief of operations for the PGA Tour, said Farmers has undertaken a "substantial financial investment."
Sponsors generally spend between $7 million to $10 million per year to put their name on a tournament. In this case, with the deal coming only a week before the event, it is likely Farmers received a significant discount.
The company will contribute to the $5.3 million purse, buy advertising time on the television broadcast and pay for Wednesday pro-am spots and an undetermined amount of corporate hospitality.
"This will help us tremendously," said Wilson, who added that he would not know the nature of the financial impact on areas such as charity until after the tournament.
The sponsorship deal is for only this year's tournament, but Woudstra and tour officials said there would be discussions about a longer commitment after the event is over.
"We're extremely interested in continuing to evaluate this opportunity," Woudstra said. "This went together pretty quickly for 2010, so we need a period of time from the end of this for us to do further evaluation. We've demonstrated a keen interest and will negotiate with them in good faith."
Farmers Insurance has not sponsored a PGA Tour event, but its parent company, Zurich Financial Services, has been the title sponsor of the tournament in New Orleans since 2005.
This year's tournament at Torrey Pines was set to be played as the San Diego Open because it had not attracted a sponsor after Buick pulled out of its deal one year early in August after General Motors filed for bankruptcy.
The timing put the Century Club and tour in a difficult position.
The San Diego tournament has been among the highest-rated tour events on TV each year, thanks in large part to the six victories by Tiger Woods. But after months of negotiations with numerous companies, it appeared San Diego would stage its first event without a title sponsor since 1967.
"Typically, when we have a title sponsor we need to replace, we have a year and half to do so," George said. "It's a substantial investment and it takes time. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time to get this done."
The tour has been heavily tied to car companies, insurance agencies and banks for decades, but many of those relationships were turned upside down by the bad economy.
There has been much debate about "optics" — whether it looks good for a large corporation to invest millions in golf tournaments and other sporting events.
Woudstra said of the subject, "I don't think corporations can continue to pull in their haunches and not encourage commerce out there."
With the sponsorship deal coming so close to the start of the tournament, the Century Club will have to work quickly to get the Farmers Insurance logo on as many tournament items as possible. That includes everything from tee markers to caddie bibs.
It's extra work they will gladly accept.
"I think, psychologically, this is huge," said Century Club Chairman Tom Wornham. "We were able to do this with the tour's help, and it makes it so much easier on everybody.
"And when you can get somebody like Farmers, a world-class brand, it does wonders for the entire organization and the entire tournament going forward," Wornham said. "There's an emotional high that comes with this, after a very, very long journey."

By Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON, July 26 (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday faced one of the last sticking points in a mammoth bill to shore up pensions -- whether to make it easier for financial firms to give workers advice on their retirement accounts. "We're still working on some language," said Sen. Charles Grassley, a key negotiator on the pension reform bill. Time was short to reach agreement, the Iowa Republican said. "I think we have to have" it done on Wednesday, Grassley ...

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Aaron and Summer Conn of Vidor were killed in what Orange County Sheriff's deputies deemed a "double homicide" Friday, Nov. 23. The young couple left behind three children. Aaron Conn's uncle Gary Rivette and aunt Sherry Dupuis are putting together a fundraiser to benefit Aaron and Summer's three sons – Tyler, 13; Trenton, 10; and Tanner, 6.
I spy ... Friends of the Triangle AIDS Network will host "Paint the Town Red: Shaken, Not Stirred" on Thursday, Nov. 11, at the Beaumont Country Club. The gala - featuring art, auctions, entertainment, dancing and fine dining - is the major annual fundraiser to benefit TAN. This year, an "Evening of International Intrigue" will play homage to James Bond and other famed spies, sleuths and secret agents. Festivities begin with a champagne reception, hors d'oeuvres and silent auction at 6:30 p.m. The live auction begins at 7:15 p.m.

By Eve Nicholas Herald Columnist
In my experience, most job hunters tend to ask questions about the basics. Writing a killer resume. Transferring old skills to a new career. Making a positive impression with employers during interviews.
Today, I'd like to offer a few tips that don't fall into the "standard job searching advice" category. I'm not exposing any major secrets here. Just touching on a few issues that you may not have considered for your search. Here they are:
1. Know where to network.
You are probably aware that the majority of vacancies are filled through word of mouth. Therefore, it's common sense that the more people you meet, the faster you'll land a new position.
Personally, I don't like networking. I'm a bit shy in public, so I understand why many job hunters roll your eyes at this advice. In fact, before the economy took a nose dive a few years ago, I used to tell introverted job seekers to play to their strengths and find other ways to capture an employer's attention. But times have changed. Networking is crucial in a crowded job market.
Let's say that you don't have a network in place. How do you meet professionals in your field? Here's a tip. Review the biographies or LinkedIn profiles of people who work in your industry (note: executive bios are often published on company websites). Many of these documents will provide lists of affiliations, conferences and events.
Investigate the different opportunities to determine which ones hold meetings in your area. Register. Show up. Talk to people. Now you're networking! To boost your visibility even more, volunteer for committees or offer to write articles for association newsletters. This will help other members see you as a colleague rather than a stranger who is eagerly looking for a job.
2. Know how to save money on career counseling.
Not everyone needs a career coach. Most people either have a clear direction or inkling about what positions they'd like to try. But some folks benefit from the guidance and support of a job counselor. That's OK. Except for one thing. Career counseling can be expensive.
To save a few bucks, contact the career office of any college or university that you have attended. Many schools subsidize these departments through their alumni organizations, and you might be surprised at the range and quality of services that are available for free or reduced rates. Also, you don't need a college education to take advantage of no-cost employment resources, such as WorkSource.
3. Know what the interviewer is asking.
The next time an employer says "Tell me about yourself" during a job interview, don't rush into a monologue about your personal life. Realize that the hiring manager is actually asking a very simple question: "Why should I hire you?"
Almost all interview questions can be interpreted in this way. The interviewer may say "You seem over-qualified for this role. How do we know you'll stick around?" or "What makes you want to leave your current position?" or even something nonsensical, like "Why did you choose to wear a starched business suit to this interview?" No matter that, the real question is usually the same. Be ready to explain why you are the best contender for the job.

Marriage in the Sand
A Gaara and Hinata Story, in a time of insecure peace treaties a marriage of convince is drawn up between the two villages and who better to marry off but the heiress of one of the most powerful clans in the leaf village and the Kazekage of the Sand. Hinata and Gaara go through the common problems of married life, and learn to depend on each other, and in the end learn to love and be loved in return.
She stood at the edge of the green leafy woods her feet on the lush green grass, the cool shade of the trees blocked out the intense heat of the sun. If you followed the grass, it eventually faded into the white sand and into the great desert before her. She hesitated, for as soon as she stepped foot on the sand it would be the start of a new life, she would no longer be a Konoha nin. This was a new beginning, a new start in a village that didn't know her faults, her imperfections, and her failures. Yet she hesitated, couldn't quite make herself step foot on the sand.
"Hinata!" Neji yelled up ahead. "Please keep up with us."
Hinata's head flew up as she spotted Neji up ahead standing in the sand in the blaring heat of the sun, Shikamaru stood next to him. She blushed slightly knowing she was holding them up.
"You go on ahead Neji, we'll catch up with you." Shikamaru said as he walked back to where Hinata stood.
"I…I." Hinata began then shut her mouth cursing herself for stuttering like that again.
"Relax Hinata." Shikamaru replied as he stood there in front of her hands in his pockets eyes half closed looking at her. "I know your having second thoughts that as soon as you step foot on the sand that you can't go back."
"Yes that's exactly what my thoughts are." Hinata agreed.
"Sunagakure is a beautiful village, you'll like it."
Hinata smiled at him. "You're just saying that because the woman you love lives there."
Shikamaru smiled down at Hinata and shrugged his shoulders. "Alright I admit it I'm biased." Then with a more serious look on his face he continued. "Think about it Hinata, this is your chance to live out from the shadow of your Father. This is what Kurenai wanted for you, to start somewhere new where people would appreciate you for your strengths and love you for your weaknesses."
Hinata felt herself growing red in the face again at his complements. "Kurenai will miss me."
"Don't worry I'll look after her." Shikamaru replied.
Hinata nodded her head and gave a shaky smile before stepping out from the shade of the forest and into the blazing sun. Shikamaru grinned as he set the pace ahead of her. It was late morning and it was already exceedingly hot out. The sun was bright and hot on her back. She thought the heat would have pressed her to pick up speed to reach her destination. However when the destination was Sunagakure and what awaited her there was a marriage, it just made her slow her pace even further. Marriage to a stranger was decidedly unattractive. Even though she had seen him a few times and heard much about him, he still was a stranger.
She had no say in the matter. This marriage was being thrust upon her. Her Father, whom she never held much love or affection for, had jumped at the prospect of marrying her off. Sighing, she couldn't blame him, as she was of little to no use to him. What hurt a little was that Kurenai, her former Sensei, was the one who suggested thatHinata be the one given in marriage. Her Father was very excited at the prospect of having the Hyuuga name closely connected to another powerful village and to one of the most elite families. It didn't matter that Sunagakure and Konohagakure were still relatively wary of each other; all that mattered was the prestige and power that union would bring to both villages, and both families.
"Hinata, you're lagging behind again." Neji snapped from ahead of her.
"Sorry Neji." Hinata said as she increased her speed a little bit.
"Do you need a moment of rest?" Neji asked.
Hinata really didn't need a break but if it slowed down their arrival she would take it. So the three of them took cover in the shade of a nearby boulder. Shikamaru sprawled out on his back hands behind head staring up at the wisps of clouds in the sky above. Neji stood survey the nearby area for potential danger, and Hinata sat down cross legged staring at the sand before her.
"Do…y-y-you think he will prove tolerable?" Hinata finally asked.
"If you mean does he have a heart, I think not." Neji said in a cool voice. "I hope you're not foolish enough to think you'll find love in this arrangement."
"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend." Shikamaru commented dryly.
"I wouldn't rule it out completely."
Hinata threw a reproachful look at her cousin. "As if I have any love in me to give. I just wanted your opinion on the man."
"I hardly know him." Neji said with a shake of his head.
"He is a good man Hinata, that's all you need to know." Shikamaru interrupted.
They rested for another couple of minutes and started out again, only this time Hinata kept up.
The office was large with plenty of natural light from the expansive windows. He sat behind his large oak desk a stack of papers in front of him. Matsuri stood on his left waiting for him to respond to Baki's request to reinforce the Northern Sand walls of the village. He knew he had an irritated look on his face but he wasn't bothered by Matsuri. He had a general liking of the girl. It was Temari who was provoking him at the moment. His older sister was pacing in front of his desk, huffing and puffing; she'd wear a hole right there in front of his desk until he addressed what was bothering her, she was that stubborn.
"Matsuri." Gaara suddenly said after reading the letter, his voice was dry and monotone. "Tell Baki his request is granted."
He hid his amusement at the way Matsuri jumped to attention whenever he spoke with her. "Right away Kazekage." Matsuri said bowing low and hurrying out the door.
Temari had stopped her pacing and was now staring out the window. Gaara ignored her and started reading another letter. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Temari turn around and glare at him, her blue eyes icy cold as they stared at him. Finally he raised his head and made eye contact.
"What is it?" Gaara finally asked.
"The more I think about this union you have to enter into the more I worry it isn't right." Temari snapped.
"I don't have a say in the matter." Gaara replied.
"You're the Kazekage." Temari said in exasperation.
"I am well aware of who I am." Gaara replied in a low voice, he made eye contact once more with Temari and watched her shift uncomfortable under his gaze. "I also am aware of the responsibility that comes with my title. One of which is strengthening alliances among other villages."
"You don't have to be forced into this." Temari began.
"Then who will take my place?" Gaara asked. "Yourself or maybe Kankuro?"
Temari was silent as she turned away from Gaara and looked out the window once more.
"I can handle my personal life just fine." Gaara said firmly.
"What greater thing is there, but for two human souls to feel that they are joined for life – to strengthen each other in all labors, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain? You can't have that with someone you barely know." Temari broke off hesitantly her voice wavering.
Gaara raised his green blue eyes to his sister's once more. Temari was always eloquent with words, but never had he heard her speak with such feeling in her voice such yearning as if she spoke of herself.
"Love? Is that what you speak of?" Gaara moved his chair slightly back and looked out the window.
"Gaara." Temari began again.
He raised his hand for silence. "When did you become such a romantic? It's not like that in the real world. I know my fate; I know how my life will play out. No woman would marry me of her own free will. And love, well who could ever love a monster like me?" Temari looked away, a brief moment of guilt showing on her face before she hid it. He knew she was thinking of their childhood, where Gaara was left alone to fend for himself, and she and Kankuro were loved and cared for. A childhood where she had feared Gaara and had once called him a monster when she thought he wasn't listening.
"If you are content, that is all that matters." Temari replied in irritation at feeling guilty for something that was in the past and best to be forgotten. "She arrives later today."
"You will be there to greet her?" Gaara replied in a monotone as he turned back to his desk.
"Yes, I will greet her with open arms." Temari said in a sarcastic tone her arms crossed over her chest. "The question is, are you ready for her?"
Gaara kept his face blank even though he wanted to smirk at Temari. "I will meet her tomorrow. I am behind in my work because someone is taking up my time."
"Fine, I get the hint." Temari said with an eye roll. "Enjoy your day." She huffed as she walked out.
Gaara sat back he should feel honored that his older sister was worried about him. He did to a certain extent appreciate her concern for his happiness. It was a moot point though, for he had never been happy and didn't expect to be. Finally he closed his eyes and muttered. "How do people make it through life without a sister to meddle in it?"
"How did it go with Gaara?" Kankuro asked Temari.
"He's bull-headed, that's what he is." Temari growled as they stood waiting for the group that was escorting the bride-to-be. The sun was setting and the temperature was dropping.
"If he is fine with the arrangement, I wouldn't dwell on it." Kankuro said with a lazy shrug.
"To marry someone you don't even know..." Temari continued, her voice rising in passion.
"Gaara knows who she is." Kankuro argued. "You're acting strange Temari."
"Just be quiet." Temari hissed.
Kankuro frowned at his sister; she had been acting strange ever since she came back from Konohagakure village with the news of who was going to be Gaara's future wife. He turned back to the horizon, his eyes immediately picking out the group. When Kankuro had heard the name of the woman picked for the union, it sounded familiar but he couldn't remember her clearly. Gaara seemed to recall her and Temari frowned every time it was brought up. Now he was curious as to whom she was.
He hid his smile when he saw the excitement on Temari's face; even though she tried to hide her growing attachment to Shikamaru, she had only succeeded in fooling Gaara who was usually clueless when it came to matters of the heart. As the group grew closer, he was able to pick out Shikamaru, Neji, and…
"Shit." Kankuro swore as he recognized the girl.
"You see, that is why I am concerned." Temari said in a tone of voice that screamed 'I told you so.'
"Of all the women they chose her." Kankuro said in disbelief.
"She is the heiress of the Hyuuga clan, and therefore the only woman of the village that is worthy of being married to a Kazekage."
"They want a war, that's what they want." Kankuro muttered darkly as he watched them grow closer.
"She won't last a month with Gaara's cold personality. She won't understand why he is so uncaring, and when she leaves Gaara won't understand the reason and he'll get hurt, he'll vent his anger and hurt by cutting off any alliance with Konohagakure."
Temari swallowed the unease she felt at Kankuro's words. "Let's hope she's stronger than that."
Kankuro gave a snort of disbelief, but was quiet as the group finally made it to them.
"How was your journey, not troublesome?" Temari was the first to speak.
"Any journey that ends with seeing you is well worth the trouble." Shikamaru commented, his eyes on Temari.
Kankuro felt the hair rising on the back of his neck at the way the insolent Nara man was eyeing his sister. Before he could snap at him to keep his eyes off his sister, the girl spoke.
"It… was a… pleasant journey." Hinata's voice wavered.
Kankuro stared at Hinata; she was slim, with long hair, pale skin, lips that quivered; everything that screamed weak and insecure. She was swaying slightly, and that's when he noticed her face was sheen of sweat and her violet eyes looked blood shot. His frown deepened. Heat stroke. Those who were not used to the desert did not hydrate enough. Thankfully, it was Neji who caught her when she fainted. It gave enough distraction to interrupt the way Shikamaru and Temari where staring at each other.
"Heat stroke?" Temari asked Kankuro.
"I think so." He replied. He smiled as he watched his sister glare at Shikamaru.
"You both had a simple assignment to escort her here in one piece." Temari snapped.
"Hey, she is here in one piece." Shikamaru snapped back. "I can't help it if she won't speak up when she needed a break."
"You're utterly hopeless, you know that?" Temari argued.
"Can we argue about this later? Right now we should get her to the infirmary." Neji asked as he shifted his hold on Hinata.
"Right. Follow me." Temari said as she took off.
Kankuro kept pace with Temari.
"This is a bad beginning." Kankuro stated low enough for only her to hear.
"Shh." Temari hushed Kankuro, but she felt the same unease of the situation, and she feared for the future.

Nate Wragg Recap
Nate Wragg gave a great lecture and a very engaging demo at our recent event at Gallery Nucleus on 10/16. The big takeaway message was right in line with what we believe at Motivarti: Hard work pays off. Nate talked about how, after high school, he applied to CalArts and was not accepted. He kept working on his portfolio and skills, ultimately entering their animation program. While at CalArts, he initially was passed over by Pixar at the annual portfolio review, but he continued to submit his portfolio until he got an interview for a position at Pixar. Although he didn't get that job, he was asked to stay on as an art intern—an opportunity he capitalized on through continued hard work, a "say yes" attitude, and a willingness to learn new tools and methods on the job.
Nate's positive attitude, pride in his work, and his focus on storytelling in each drawing propelled him from working on pitch sketches to designing the title sequence for "Ratatouille" within the period of his internship. Nate was lucky, but he was also prepared to make the most of each opportunity.
In terms of advice to students and people putting together portfolios, he suggested that you show that you have range—both in terms of style, and also subject matter. Demonstrate that you can translate your designs into three dimensions, since so much of today's animation is seen that way. He also suggested that you include work that pushes stylistic limits. He said that, from a studio artist's standpoint, it's really exciting to see a portfolio that has cool ideas and designs that are pushed further than what's typically seen on the studio level. Lastly, Nate emphasized story as the key element in every rough sketch, drawing, and finished piece. Offer the viewer a reason to engage and believe in your work.
Nate's demo showed his painting and collage process, from blank illustration board to finished piece, all within two hours. It's difficult to fully describe the amazing experience of seeing an artist verbalize his creative process and his choices as he physically makes the piece. But Nate used many of the same principles in his design that all painters use (lighter objects in the background and darker objects in the foreground help create distance). Nate also said he tried not to plan every detail out before creating his collage. He likes to keep it more organic and feel his way through the piece so it keeps fresh. We'll eventually be posting the videos of Nate's demo, so please join our Facebook page and/or mailing list (on the right) to be notified when they are available for viewing.
At the end of the event, we raffled off Nate's original piece to one lucky winner. Nate is his favorite artist, so we're thrilled that he went home with the piece.
Thanks again to everyone who came to the event, and a huge thank you to Nate for so generously sharing his experience and his artistic tips with us. If you're still hoping to snatch one of Nate's exclusive prints, please click here.

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 2, 2010) – Multivista, the rapidly growing global provider of construction photo documentation, proudly announces the opening of its sixth new major location this year, Multivista Los Angeles.
"Los Angeles is the capstone to our Southwest region," COO Mr. David Stadnik said. Multivista's Southwest operations have long included Phoenix and Las Vegas, and San Diego opened early in 2010. "An operational hub of this importance took careful evaluation of prospective leadership and patient negotiations. We are extremely pleased with the result." Stadnik added.
The Multivista LA team brings both depth and breadth of knowledge in the local Los Angeles construction marketplace – the players, projects and problems. Multivista LA managing partners, Dr. Stephen Wexler, PE and Brad Avrit, PE, are also Principal Owners of WEXCO International Corp., a highly experienced Construction Engineering & Construction Management firm since 1969, with the last 25 years in Los Angeles. Dr. Wexler is a licensed Civil Engineer and General Contractor. Brad Avrit is also a licensed Civil Engineer and experienced as a Construction Manager in the Los Angeles area. Together, they bring over 65 years of construction industry experience.
Having solved problems large and small in the LA construction industry for so many years, the managing partners of the LA franchise immediately saw the value of the Multivista system: "This proprietary technology significantly improves the construction management process, resulting in clearly more profitable projects with less claims and less exposure." said Avrit.
"We have been providing Construction Management and Construction Consulting services for more than 40 years and we look forward to utilizing the interactive technology of Multivista to help the construction community manage their projects in a more efficient and accountable manner," said Dr. Wexler.
Multivista LA has already had a great response from project heads in their area and is confident that Multivista will soon become standard on every major construction project in LA, according to Dr. Wexler and Brad Avrit.
About Multivista
Multivista provides thousands of readily available inspection-grade digital photographs of construction projects that are indexed to the architectural drawings by date and location. During construction, Multivista provides a fundamental web-based collaboration tool to assure timely information sharing, quality installations, trade accountability and efficient reporting and documentation. After construction, the Multivista system provides the most accurate, accessible and easily navigated permanent record available for your facility managers and for future expansion, maintenance and modification.

Earlier this week in a review of the three new Joni Haastrup/MonoMono re-issues, PopMatters' Matthew Fiander said, "Nigerian multi-instrumentalist Joni Haastrup may not be the household name Fela Kuti is, but he is as indelible a part of Afro-beat and Nigerian music as the Black President is."
Late last month, Soundway and Tummy Touch and re-released Haastrup's solo album, as well as two albums of his band MonoMono. Fiander describes the batch of three records as "brief—each clocks in under 40 minutes—but they show a heavier soul mix in Haastrup's vision of Afro-funk and rock music. If James Brown was a huge influence on Afro-beat in general, then Haastrup is his closest musical student. These are tighter compositions than Kuti's, but they still manage a similar dichotomy: they are dynamic and shifting and yet build tension and inertia on insistent repetition."
Those three classic Afro-beat albums are all worth checking out. To celebrate their release, Soundway and Tummy Touch have provided us with an exclusive MP3 of "Adele" in the original 7-inch version to share with our readers. This tune was "cleaned up" for the vinyl re-release, but here you can enjoy the tune in its original glory with no modern varnishes applied.

Adding form to GoDaddy website builderAsked by lathemtown on October 09, 2014 at 04:24 PM
My form does not show on my Godaddy website. I copy and paste but can't see the form. I'm using the Website Builder V7.
JotForm Support
Hi lathemtown,
If you are having problems with embedding the code, please see the following tutorial links that may help you:
We usually advise to use the iFrame code when embedding your code to a website. You can check this link: Getting the iFrame code.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Thank you.
Still does not show the form. I had already tried the iframe code before I wrote you. I asked GoDaddy Customer Service they said their websites may not be compatible with Jotform. Their Customer Service agents do not know what Jotform is. But they said I was entering the code correctly. Please help.
It should be possible to implement your jotform on your GoDaddy website.
Please take a look at this forum post regarding the same issue http://www.jotform.com/answers/433722
In short it seems that the GoDaddy support were not able to implement it without the secure embed link.
You can see here how to do that inside of the GoDaddy V7 website builder https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/8347/designing-pages-with-website-builder-v7#html
If you give us the link to your jotform we can help you to get the proper iframe code.
If you want you can get it yourself by following these steps: Getting the Form iFrame Code
After you do remove everything in and including <script></script> tags. All that you should have is the <iframe> </iframe> and everything inside.
I would suggest checking if the iframe works without secure link and if it does not then to use secure URL.
I should add this note that secure URL uses your SSL submissions.
Do let us know how it goes and if you have any further questions.
Best Regards,
If finally worked. Thanks!!!!!
I used the secure link and I used only the part between <iframe> </iframe>. Also I copied to Notepad before I pasted on my website.
Thank you so much.

Seven school systems are in the early stages of an experiment that could radically change the way public school dollars are spent in Louisiana.
The new system, called student-based budgeting, would give school principals, not districts, much of the authority on how to spend most state, federal and local education dollars.
Backers contend that giving those closest to students control over the dollars would:
• Improve student achievement.
• Allow local officials to tailor spending to individual needs.
• Let parents and others see exactly how school dollars are being used.
"There is no silver bullet to solve all financial problems," said Philip Martin, superintendent of the Terrebonne Parish school system, which is one of the seven systems taking part.
"But if there are any strategies and techniques that lead to a more effective use of the funds we have, of course, any superintendent would want to do that," he said.
Gov. Bobby Jindal announced plans for the pilot project in February.
"Too often today the decision-making power over what is best for a child happens far away from the classroom," Jindal said.
Putting principals and other local educators largely in charge of the budget, he said, "will place those decisions in the hands of those who know students' needs the best."
School systems taking part are Terrebonne, Assumption, Iberville, St. John the Baptist, Lafourche, Jefferson and Sabine — 10 percent of the districts statewide.
State officials recently held a two-day meeting with district leaders to make plans for the changes.
"There is a lot of planning going on right now," said Beth Scioneaux, deputy superintendent for the state Department of Education.
The department will also work with superintendents to train principals and other school district leaders so they are prepared to handle their new budget authority.
How the changes will work in each district is supposed to be spelled out in the spring.
The aim is for some form of student-based budgeting to be tested in all seven systems when school starts in August of 2013.
If the trial is successful, other districts will be invited to do the same, Scioneaux said.
Chas Roemer, a member of the state's top school board, said if the pilot project is successful, it should be quickly implemented in other districts.
"It will be a big step toward actually empowering the people that are in the school building with the tools they need to run their school," said Roemer, who lives in Baton Rouge.
"One of the problems we have now is we try to manage education from on top of the mountain," he said.
State aid to public schools has been frozen for the past three years amid declining state revenue, which may make a major change in financing more appealing to school districts.
Martin said the freeze is especially burdensome at a time when school retirement and health care costs are rising sharply.
"We could have handled the freeze if we did not have these dramatic, almost catastrophic retirement and benefit costs," he said.
Bob Lewis, business manager for the Sabine Parish School District in northwest Louisiana, said his system joined the pilot project to have a voice in any new system that wins favor.
"Because once this is shoved down everyone's throats, the wiggle room won't be there," Lewis said.
Under current rules, the state allocates $3.3 billion to 70 school districts.
That money is then distributed on the basis of staffing levels, programs and other factors.
However, student-based budgeting is controversial because it is still in the experimental stages nationwide.
One official told Louisiana educators last year that only 14 city school districts and the state of Hawaii used student-based budgeting, and that 17 states were considering various forms of it.
A state panel studying the issue has heard experts talk about how it has worked in Baltimore, Houston, Oakland, Denver and San Francisco.
But some superintendents question the relevance of any success stories in those cities to Louisiana, and whether it makes sense for principals to become budget brokers.
School leaders in Iberville, Lafourche and St. John the Baptist districts did not return calls for comment or could not be reached.
Earl Martinez, superintendent of the Assumption Parish school system, was out of the office last week.
