What's this?
Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor is the fifth solo album brought forth by multi-talented white Zombie front-man Rob Zombie. This is Zombie's first album with Ginger Fish on drums, who together with guitarist John 5, was part of Marilyn Manson's band.
And what's it like?
Complete with Grand Funk Railroad cover 'We're An American Band,' this album is nitty, gritty and dirty, like all good rock albums should be. There's an extremely theatrical feel to both the lyrics and the vocals, with Zombie's grainy voice providing a nice kick. It's quite easy to visualise these tracks featured on a soundtrack to any of Zombie's films, if not any kick-ass film for that matter.
The song titles are a bit out there but that's to be expected and almost nothing seems out of place. 'Theme For The Rat Vendor' is an instrumental that sits just past the one minute mark in length and contains sitar and percussion. Why it's there is a question that may cross many minds, but that feeling of displacement will pass quickly.
Each and every song is strange, creative and ultimately catchy. The guitar and drum beats go well with the lyrics, and although this isn't an album to be purchased solely for it's lyricism, it's definitely one to be purchased if someone is in the mood to have their mind blown. Everyone will be singing "Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga" before they know what's hit them.
What's the tracklisting?
1. Teenage Nosferatu Pussy
2. Dead City Radio And The New Gods Of Supertown
3. Revolation Revolution
4. Theme For The Rat Vendor
5. Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga
6. Rock and Roll (In A Black Hole)
7. Behold The Pretty Filthy Creatures!
8. White Trash Freaks
9. We're An American Band (Grand Funk Railroad Cover)
10. Lucifer Rising
11. The Girl Who Loved The Monsters
12. Trade In Your Guns For A Coffin
Can you listen to anything now?
What's the final verdict?
Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor lives up to, if not exceeds, expectations. Left feeling slightly filthy and soaked in Rock and Roll, listeners will want more. It's weird, wacky, and all-together wonderful.

mod_python OpenID Access Control
Since XRI is pretty much in bed with OpenID and NeuStar is an XRI shop, I get to play around with it quite a bit.
Here's a little success report about using JanRain's mpopenid module to protect certain restricted resources served by Apache. It works somewhat like your basic HTTP authentication, but instead of returning a
401 Authorization Required response causing the browser to prompt for username and password, it redirects you to the OpenID login page. Pretty neat eh?
So, here's how we go about doing it.
My ingredients:
- Apache 2.2.4
- Python 2.5
- mod_python 3.2.10
- JanRain's Python OpenID library combo 1.2.0 (which includes dependencies: Yadis 1.1.0 + urljr 1.0.1)
- mpopenid 1.2.0-pre5 (yet to be released on the main project site which is still showing 1.0.0)
Following the recipes in this README file, I was able to set it up with one caveat: Python ElementTree module is a dependency of the Python Yadis library and you need to first install that.
Did I mention that you could login using an I-name?
The following patch for
mpopenid.py is needed to make i-name login work:
--- mpopenid-1.2.0-pre5/mpopenid.py Tue Nov 21 20:24:53 2006 +++ mpopenid-1.2.0-pre5-wil/mpopenid.py Sun Jan 14 16:12:16 2007 @@ -157,10 +157,17 @@ url = s.strip() if not url: continue - parsed = urlparse.urlparse(url) - if not (parsed[0] and parsed[1]): - url = 'http://' + url - urls.append(urinorm(url)) + + if (url[0:6].lower() == "xri://"): + url = url[6:] # strip "xri://" + + if (url[0] not in "=@!$+"): # doesn't look like an XRI + parsed = urlparse.urlparse(url) + if not (parsed[0] and parsed[1]): + url = 'http://' + url + url = urinorm(url) + + urls.append(url) return urls

About an op-amp as an input stage. If the feedback is taken from the output of the amp, won't then the op-amp try to compensate for some of the distortion then?
I'm hoping for an oscilloscope for christmas so I can finally start looking at the output of my amps and getting some THD values If I make an amp like this on a breadboard, will measuring distortion give an accurate value? Or do I have to solder it in order to get valid measurements?

I think I should add some comments. In this discussion, the problem is that main terms are not well defined. For me,
- "tuby sound" is simply a sound without "harshness", it is very frequently very far from good sound, because of other sound properties. It can be obtained with SS or tube designs.
- "macro sound picture" is the domain where THD could play some role, with very high THD timbres could start to deviate from proper ones, but that must be really high THD, more than 1%. With many simple designs one can easily stay below 1%.
- "micro sound picture" is the domain where all designs differs most of all, and this sound property has almost no relation with THD. It seems to be more related with phase intermodulation, a kind of "jitter" caused by variation of gate-drain, gate-source, base-collector, base-emitter capacitances with voltages. Tube schematics have some natural benefits in this respect. Apart from "jitter", "micro sound picture" suffers from many other reasons, like PS hi-frequency spikes achieving main schematics, effects of capacitors, resistors, contacts, PCB design and electro-magnetic coupling, etc. Many factor tend to destroy "micro sound picture", but there is no THD among them.
Speaking about simple single stage designs, it is quite obvious that they have almost no reason to produce "harsh" sound, so it will be tuby in that or another way.
However, since they have no measures included against phase intermodulation, I find them all loosy at the "micro sound domain", very far worse than good quality tube amps.
I did attempts to suppress somehow the "jitter", by using special HF LDMOS transistors at power follower, with definite succsess. With proper output "cap", it is surely competitive with best tube amps. However, one is forced to use preamp in addition to follower, and any preamp I tried to use with such an advanced follower, made the combination preamp-advanced follower worse in "micro picture" than good integrated tube amp. I speak about listenings of high quality system, that allows to distinguish tiny differences.
For those who are looking for really top sound quality, integrated amp solution, but with external power supply, is preferable.
So, one stage amp is not a real amp, it is a "semi-amp" and can not determine final sound quality.
Many people put on the top three reqirements, and believe they go in correct way
1) output power
2) low THD
3) no output cap
From my point of view, for audiophile home listening, these requirements are terribly misleading and add enormous difficulties in achiving best sound. Good sound coud be obtained even with these postulates, but with terrible difficulties, bringing costs of a good sounding amp to 20000...50000 USD range.

As per my observation, "combined" output cap in NoGNFB or low GNFB designs adds less problems to sound (I do not say distortions, since they usually assosiated with THD) than caps at low-signal positions. Sound effects of "combined output cap" is comparable to effects of a relay contact. Due to this, I stay for a long time with SE class A schematics. Within this approach, I obtain some simplification of PS, no need in servo, no speaker protection, no crossover distortions, no deep GNFB, no sound "harshness". However, good "micro sound picture" is not an inherent benefit of simple class A, it must be achieved by careful selection of low Ciss jFETs, very high Ft output transistors, current type and not deep GNFB.

On the top of all said above, I should mention also a "bass signature" of the kind of output transistors used. All the good properties of lateral FETs and LDMOS (very high "effective" Ft) do not make them free from some specific signature at bass domain. There is no chance to remove this signature by deep GNFB and very low output impedans (high damping factor). Maybe this will not be the case with specific high efficiency low-power-tube dedicated speakers, but with typical 3-band speakers one could easy recognize bass features, depending on what kind of transistors is used at the output.
After many comparisons and weighing all pro and contra, now I prefer BJTs for HF applications, with Ft = 300...700 MHz.
SIT transistors are a bit another story, they are also very attractive.

Thank you for the replys, I have a better understanding now
I haven't learned about fourier analysis and calculating THD values yet so I don't know the math behind it, but are you saying that "tuby sound" and "micro sound picture" can't be expressed mathematically? I found it really attractive to think of a distortion meter that could directly and mathematically compare one amp to another
A little off topic here. Could any of you link a class AB design that is allmost as simple as the class A design I linked in the opening post? An op-amp input stage would be preferable and I really like mosfets. As much as I found class A design fancy, the power dissipation and extra demand on the transformer isn't that appealing I was thinking of looking into class AB designs.

an opamp with a pair of "helper" transistors will do your ClassAB simply.

Additional advances in math is possible, but, again, up to definite point only, it will not explain all the details again.

I'm really curious about having an op-amp as an input stage with it's feedback taken form the output of the amp. I was under the impression that op-amps usually have great specs (PSRR, CMRR etc) compared to many descrete amplifier designs. Also with the feedback taken from the output of the amp I can't understand why this won't greatly reduce distortion.
Another question. In my next design I wan't to use a voltage regulator to reduce humming. If I then connect the gate bias resistor directly to the output of the regulator, won't this greatly increase the gain aswell? I remember doing this the first time I made the amp and the gain was insane compaired to after I connected the resistors to drain instead. One problam was that the operating point would shift dramaticly if the voltage or the bias current would shift, but with a regulator the voltage shouldnt change and neither should the current.

The Vatican's Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has begun an Apostolic Visitation or comprehensive study of institutes of women religious in the United States.
The action was initiated by the Congregation's prefect, Slovenian Cardinal Franc Rodé, C.M. The decree, issued Dec. 22, 2008, indicated the Visitation is being undertaken in order to look into the quality of the life of the members of these religious institutes.
The Visitation will be conducted under the direction of Superior General of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Mother Clare Millea, whom Cardinal Rodé appointed Apostolic Visitator. Mother Millea, a Connecticut native, heads the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an international religious institute headquartered in Rome, with approximately 1250 professed sisters worldwide, including 135 in the United States. She entered religious life in 1965 and professed perpetual vows in 1973.
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the nation's largest association of Catholic women religious communities, said it was informed of the study in a bulletin Friday.
"We hope that the results of the apostolic visitation will demonstrate the vitality and depth of the life and service of women religious in the United States," the conference said in a statement.
The Visitation, which will collect and assimilate data and observations about religious life, will be limited to apostolic institutes, those actively engaged in service to Church and society. Cloistered, contemplative sisters, who have distinctly different lifestyles, are excluded from the study. Mother Millea will submit a confidential report to Cardinal Rodé at the conclusion of the task. Though there is no deadline, she hopes to complete the task by 2011.
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
Catholic women religious have been involved in apostolates such as education, healthcare and a variety of pastoral and social services in the United States since before the nation was founded. According to the Washington-based Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) however, the number of U.S. women religious has been in decline during the past 40 years, while their median age continues to increase.
The Vatican-organized visitation of seminaries and house of formation for men, which happened in 2006, recently issued its final report, and it seemed to suggest concern about formation for religious. The following is taken from the "general conclusions" in section II:
"It was also noted that, in some academic centers run by religious, there is a certain reticence, on the part of both students and teachers, to discuss the priestly ministry. Instead, there is a preference for discussing simply "ministry" — in the broad sense, including also the various apostolates of the laity — in part, perhaps, as a mistaken attempt not to offend those who judge the reservation of the Sacrament of Orders to men alone as discriminatory."
Click here to read the full text of the visitation report.
"I am truly humbled, and a bit overwhelmed," Mother Millea said of her assignment. "While I have visited each of the communities and missions in my own congregation, the thought of gathering facts and findings about nearly 400 institutes across the United States can be daunting in scope."
"I am praying for all the sisters who will be a part of this Visitation, and hoping for their prayers – both for the good of the process as well as for me in this role," she continued. "I ask the prayers of the American Catholic clergy and faithful too."

DETROIT - General Motors is recalling millions of more vehicles for more ignition problems.
The automaker on Monday said it had six new safety recalls affecting 7.6 million vehicles in the U.S. from the 1997 to 2014 model years. Worldwide, the recalls include 8.4 million vehicles, bringing GM's 2014 recall total to 28 million vehicles.
View: List of GM recalls announced June 30
"We undertook what I believe is the most comprehensive safety review in the history of our company because nothing is more important than the safety of our customers," said GM CEO Mary Barra. "Our customers deserve more than we delivered in these vehicles. That has hardened my resolve to set a new industry standard for vehicle safety, quality and excellence."
Among these recalled vehicles, GM is aware of seven crashes, eight injuries and three fatalities. The fatal crashes occurred in older model full-size sedans being recalled for inadvertent ignition key rotation. There is no conclusive evidence that the defect condition caused those crashes.
"We have worked aggressively to identify and address the major outstanding issues that could impact the safety of our customers," Barra said. "If any other issues come to our attention, we will act appropriately and without hesitation."
GM expects to take a charge of up to approximately $1.2 billion in the second quarter for the cost of recall-related repairs announced in the quarter. This amount includes a previously disclosed $700 million charge for recalls already announced during the quarter.
Until the ignition recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key ring, leaving only the vehicle key, and always use their seat belts. The key fob, if present, should also be removed from the key ring.

Tehran, Iran, Jun. 15
By Milad Fashtami - Trend:
Iranian Border Guard Commander Brigadier General Hossein Zolfaghari said that his country has intensified security measures along the western borders to prevent Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants from entering its territory.
He went on to note that Iraqi refugees may enter Iran to flee the violence in their country, Iran's Mehr News Agency reported on June 14.
"We have provided the officials with some proposals regarding the refugees," he added.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group captured two provincial capitals this week, namely Tikrit in the Salahuddin Province, and Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, in the northern province of Nineveh, Press TV reported.
The Iraqi army is currently battling the terrorists on the outskirts of the city of Muqdadiyah, situated northeast of Baquba, in Iraq's eastern province of Diyala.
Over the past days, Iraqi armed forces have been engaged in fierce clashes with the extremist terrorists, who have threatened to make their acts of violence in other Iraqi cities, including the capital. Hundreds of Iraqi volunteers have rushed to army recruitment centers to join the fight against terrorism.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said on June 10 that his country was involved in a "war against terrorism", stressing that Baghdad will never permit Mosul and Nineveh to remain under the shadow of terror and the terrorists.

Paris Hilton has revealed she was discharged from prison because she was suffering from claustrophobia. The hotel heiress developed the condition as well as panic attacks after being placed in solitary confinement in a tiny cell on the special needs wing of a California jail.
Paris - who spent a total of 23 days in prison after being let out early for good behaviour and overcrowding - told People magazine: "Thank God I'm free! I was basically in the foetal position, in hysterics. "The doctors were observing me while I was there. They explained to Sheriff Lee Baca that they thought I was having severe anxiety, panic attacks, claustrophobia. "All of the inmates were very supportive. There were girls next to me. We could talk through the vents and they were just really sweet."
The 26-year-old socialite was released from Lynwood's Century Regional Detention Facility after just five days to serve the rest of her sentence on house arrest after the sheriff deemed her medically unfit to remain in jail. However, she was sent back to prison by the Superior Court judge who originally sentenced Paris who declared she was well enough to complete her 45-day jail term. 'The Simple Life' star insists the best thing about being released was seeing her mother, Kathy, again. She said: "Just being able to hug my mom felt so great, and I really needed it 'cause I haven't had a hug in a long time."

Setting up a basic CRM to track leads to sales for a Home Improvement company.
We out bound through a predictive dialer (posting info back and forth will be needed, but not to start. At first we will manually enter in leads/potentials from the predictive dialer to whom we are setting up a appointment. Your recommendation of predictive dialer is suggested.
I have looked at Vtiger and SugarCrm. Either of them are fine, if you have another opensource solution, let me know. After viewing both CRM's, and talking to staff at Vtiger, I am confident that most or even all the work will be done through the front end of the CRM. Basically, setting up everything through the admin settings section. I do not see any need to customize any pages thus I don't see any php work needed. If you think that you need to code pages, please let me know what feature is it that must be coded as opposed to using the setup.
To bid on this project you must have experience and show actual projects where you have customized vtiger/sugarcrm/ or crm you are recommending.
We have a live site in which we have added the different users/groups/roles. You can start from scratch, or customize what we already added
The flow of the leads/potentials/sales statuses in included. Also is attached the lead sheet
1. Misc Notes:
a. After reviewing VTiger, not sure whether to start with a lead, or go straight to potential.
b. Lead/potential is generated by telemarketer who enters in basic contact info.
c. Telemarketer then moves/assigns lead to Confirmer group whom enters in rest of lead sheet info.
1. Lead/Potential is able to capture all the different users names whom edit the record when it is their groups turn. (i.e. telemarketer field, confirmer field, ... will capture the person name who edits the record)
2. If unable to capture user, then user assigns self to l/p and they can only see their own l/p . they cannot change someone elses name to thiers.
ii. If confirmer succeeds lead moves/assigns to salesperson group
iii. If confirmer unsuccessful, then confirmer moves to resetter group.
d. Resetter and Rehasher (are the same people, it is just different part of the flow chart) repeat verification in Confirmation section of lead sheet and set apt with customer.
i. Maybe have 2 sub sections of additional info for resetter and rehasher. Those sections repeat the verification questions of the confirmer. Therefore, triplicate fields needed.
e. Not sure whether to assign the l/p to the next group or change the status which then dictates what's next.
2. After the beginning part of this project, there will be additional work needed (i.e. custom reports) and other misc customization
I have had a web conference with vitger going over the features etc.. I watched as he showed how to setup some of the features this project has. I have also gone into vtiger and started adding fields/roles etc.. I do not think this initial part of the project should take very long since it should be able to be done all through the front end administration fairly quickly by someone who has used vtiger before. After the initial setup, their will be more features requested, from time to time.
Please let me know how many hours you think this is going to take. I can give you login access to what we have setup allready for you to view. Your feedback and suggestion on the best way to implement this project is appreciated.

LANSING - In what may be the first edict of its kind in the nation, state Rep. Ken Goike has learned that the Michigan Department of Human Services is requiring the Boy Scouts of America to equip their summer camp tents with smoke detectors.
READ: Carly Rae Jepsen drops Boy Scouts performance
DHS regulators have informed the Michigan Crossroads Council that they will require all summer camp tents to have a smoke detector installed before operation this summer. Goike wants the order rescinded immediately.
"It's unbelievable that the state would issue such an impractical edict, especially with all the serious challenges we currently face in Michigan with our economy and roads," said Goike, R-Ray Township. "It boggles the mind and defies common sense. It's an example of government intrusion at its worst, and should be rescinded."

Goike said the regulation has never been enforced in Michigan or any other state.
"The regulation is impractical and pointless," Goike said. "It's an unnecessary financial burden on the organization and lacks common sense from a real-world standpoint. Implementation of this new requirement will cost thousands of dollars, not to mention the impracticality of having a smoke detector at a campsite where bonfires are commonplace. We need to work with the governor's office to address this regulation, as we have many other times."

TEL AVIV (Jun. 14)
The Foreign Press Association has accused the Israeli police of physically assaulting journalists performing their duties and has demanded a stop to it.
The press association held a news conference in Jerusalem Tuesday — an unusual step for reporters — and gave details of physical assaults by police on its members. They called on Police Minister Haim Barlev to investigate and punish those responsible.
Association chairman Bob Slater of Time magazine said there were between 100 and 150 incidents of physical attacks on foreign journalists reported between last December, when the Palestinian uprising began, and early April.
Other association members complained of public hostility toward foreign correspondents. They cited bumper stickers popular with Jewish settlers in the administered territories which say "Country United Against A Hostile Press."
One of the more serious cases of physical assault occurred in Tel Aviv on June 4, during a demonstration by Yesh Gvul, an organization of Israelis opposed to government policies in the territories.
Sven Hackstrand, a photographer for Agence France Presse, the French news agency, was ordered by plainclothes police officers not to take pictures. He said they began to beat him and tried to seize his camera.
Hackstrand said he was knocked to the ground, kicked and beaten with clubs on his body and head.
He was then taken to a police van where the beating was resumed by men he believed to be border police, the photographer said.
When the demonstration ended, Hackstrand said he saw one of his assailants drive off in a police car.
Another press photographer required stitches above his eye. An official complaint was lodged with the police but no reply has been received, according to the association.
Veteran Time magazine photographer David Rubinger said the general atmosphere of hostility in Israel toward the news media apparently contributed to the attacks.
"It's not a question of exceptional cases," Rubinger said.
"It is rather a disease which is spreading like rot at the lower levels of the police force the border police are among the worst offenders because of their social makeup — and the army," Rubinger said.
The journalists also complained of restricted access to the territories and the fact that material has been confiscated from foreign correspondents arriving or leaving Ben-Gurion Airport.

Police charge woman in fatal Stowe crash
Allegheny County Police on Thursday arrested a woman accused of causing a fatal crash in Stowe while driving drunk.
Police charged Jennifer Roedler, 52, of McKees Rocks with homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, involuntary manslaughter, reckless driving and other crimes. Roedler told investigators she took her eyes of the road to grab her cell phone when she heard it ring and drove off the road and hit the truck, according to a criminal complaint.
A blood test revealed Roedler's blood-alcohol content was .237 percent, police said.
Anthony Perri, 86, of Stowe was knocked out of the back of his produce truck as he was unloading it at 10:20 a.m. Dec. 5 in the 600 block of Broadway Avenue. He died Dec. 12 at Allegheny General Hospital of blunt force trauma to the head.
Police arrested Roedler without incident at her home Thursday morning.

"Do I believe him?'' she told Matt Lauer. "I definitely believe him. Because if I didn't believe him, when I testified at trial, I could have not said what I said. I would have had to tell the truth."
She believes the victims' financial gain was at play.
"I think it was, they were manipulated, and they saw money,'' she said. "Once lawyers came into the case, they said there was money."
Wow, first of all ----- I feel bad for the sane Penn State fans who don't defend Joe anymore, let alone Jerry. But, crazy people like Dottie Sandusky, Jay Paterno and Franco Harris make them look bad.
But....I gotta be honest ---- there are a LOT more crazy people out there who still support Joe than there should be. I really don't think the culture has changed that much. Maybe a hiatus for that football program would have made the cult-like sect of fans re-evaluate their priorities.
If you don't believe me, just check out some of the PSU fans on the PSU message boards, (i.e. 247 "Lion's Den". Sadly, it's an overwhelming majority who are mind-numb "Joe-bots", in denial and still supporting Joe. Some even defend Sandusky. I've gone on there before and asked simple questions, and they ban you from the boards. Over-sensitive crazies, I tell ya.
Penn State had a systemic culture problem that led to this scandal and cover-up. PSU is a unique place, and I think this could have only happened at PSU. Unfortunately, the systemic culture problem is not completely gone. Sure, it's better, but it's still a football-first mentality in State College.
Look, McQueary didn't do enough either. But, at least he did something. He told Joe and Joe said he'd "handle it". Joe (who essentially was his own boss) didn't do sh*t, though. Those who say Joe "reported it to his superiors" are full of sh*t, and they know it. Joe WAS his own superior. He was king of the State College fiefdom. But look how the PSU community treats those two: McQueary is shunned and blamed as a "rat", and Joe is still defended and a "hero".
I don't care how many good deeds you did. Looking the other way while 1 child is raped ruins the 1,000 good deeds you've done. The libraries, the dontations, the statues, etc. ---- they don't mean anything when you do the bare minimum and essentially allow more kids to get raped. When you know of child rapes going on, but you don't do enough because you want to protect your legacy....that's all you're going to be remembered for.
Also, I find it hard to believe Dottie didn't know anything. I know, I know --- we hear how "so & so was a mass murderer (or rapist or whatever) for 30 years and nobody suspected", etc.. But there were sounds coming from the basement. And wouldn't you find it just a tad bit odd that your husband was constantly bringing young boys over and hanging out with them in the basement all night, alone. Same thing at the football facility. Straaaange. I find it very hard to believe in small town State College that a lot more people (close to Jerry, and other people) didn't know.
Now, I know a large sentiment on 11W is "but we need Penn State to look good...to help the B1G look good."... (to help Ohio State look good/big picture). Sorry, fellas, but if I have to root for a child rape-enabling institution/program to succeed in order for my team and my team's conference to look better....then it's not worth it.
This isn't getting tattoo discounts, or ineligible players, or agents giving guys cash...it's f-ing CHILD RAPE(S)! It is THE worst scandal/cover-up in the history of sports. And all the while, PSU knew it and they were doing things like sending negative recruiting letters out during "Tat-Gate", bragging about how they didn't have any NCAA penalties, and how clean their program was, and the "Success with honor" bullsh*t. I think they should have shut down that program, then relegated them to the MAC or AAC.

Studio Gear Loose Powder Reviews
Good stuffStudio Gear is expensive no doubt, but the powder is really good. I apply it with the SG kabuki brush. I've used it over a primer and by itself as well. One thing though, if you have a dry skin, definitely use a light moisturizer. — 7 years, 6 months agoFlappergal | 6 reviews

"The Best" certainly sums up what is in store for people and their families at Maple Grove Days this weekend. So smooth on some sunscreen, wear the best walking shoes find the stroller and lawn chair and come out for a weekend of fun- filled events celebrating the city of Maple Grove, Thursday to Sunday, July 12 to 15.
Maple Grove Days is not only an annual celebration, but is the city's largest festival and voted "Best Community Event" by residents in the Maple Grove Magazine. Each year the attendance grows with more than 30,000 people attending in 2011.
The Maple Grove Community Organization (MGCO) is the driving force behind this summer festival and with the help of the City of Maple Grove was started in the 1988 with a proposal from then Commissioner, John Garritsen. The mission was to form a committee to explore the need for a city festival. Today the group has over 30 members and meets throughout the year to plan and organize city family events.
"Maple Grove Days generates hundreds of volunteers every year and that count does not include the many city employees who perform duties preparing for the festival and those on hand throughout the entire weekend assisting to ensure its success and our safety," said Deb Syhre, president of MGCO.
Syhre also says, "The success of Maple Grove Days reflects this area's growing population and how prolific the Maple Grove business district has become."
It all started with a simple parade in Grove Square and has grown to a four-day festival. Originally, Maple Grove Days was named "Pierre Bottineau Days" according MG Historical Society representative. The namesake, Pierre Bottineau, was an infamous fur-trader born in 1817 in North Dakota. He later settled in several other places including Maple Grove.
The Maple Grove Days parade continues to be appropriately named the "Pierre Bottineau Parade" and the parade namesake will be portrayed by Kurt Palmer. Political units and a plane flyover will start off the parade at 6:10 p.m. again this year followed by the remaining parade units at 6:30 p.m.
Syhre states MGCO functions as a catalyst and an umbrella for the other organizations involved in Maple Grove Days events. Included in the list of participating organizations are the Maple Grove Lions, Maple Grove Rotary, Maple Grove Ambassador Program, Maple Grove Historical Society, Weaver Lake Conservation Association, Maple Grove Arts Center, Maple Grove Mom's Club, MSRA Ignitors Car Club, Girl and Boy Scouts, area churches, school organizations, 40 Winks Foundation and many businesses who contribute time, Sponsor dollars and products to the event.
"Our mission is to provide the residents of Maple Grove a sense of community, by encouraging other groups to join us," she said. "We feel we have reached our goal and thus making our events truly a celebration of Maple Grove."
In addition to Maple Grove Days each July, other MGCO activities are Halloween Family Fun, Breakfast with Santa and Holiday Lighting Contest in December, and new last year the Sleigh Bells and Sparkle Parade.
"We try to add something new each year to Maple Grove Days and look for ways to improve events from previous years," said Syhre.
Look for the all new Pickleball Tournament and Volleyball Tournament. And of course the many old and favorite events from past years like Corn Hole Tournament, Capture the Flag game, Alley Jamz Bowling, and the Friday night outdoor movie under the stars. This feature movie can be enjoyed by the whole family.
There's lots of opportunity for competition, lots of great prizes to win and of course the fun of just competing. The Seventh Annual Tennis Tournament will take place this year with four days of competition. The cooperation between the Maple Grove Crimson Tennis Association and MGCO brings this event to MGJH and MGSH tennis courts.
Youth can participate in the Junior Golf Tournament at French Lake Golf Course, and 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament. Each year the Medallion Hunt generates lots of excitement as the MG parks are searched high and low for the Bronze Maple Leaf. The finder wins a $500 prize from the Lookout Bar and Grill. Racing events abound with the Rice Lake Classic, Kids Fun Run and 40 Winks Foundation Bed Race by the MG Rotary.
The Maple Grove Ambassador Scholarship Program will crown three new ambassadors at coronation Friday night at Maple Grove Senior High School. Following the coronation the celebration heads to the Osseo Legion for Gala in the Grove as the community welcomes the new ambassadors, alumnae and friends and supporters of this scholarship program.
Since 2003 the Business Expo has been held in the Maple Grove Community Center, it has seen an increase in growth of exhibitors, from 80 to over 130 and also growth in attendance. Last year more than 8,000 people attended this event. Joyce Deane and Pat Bedell, long-time members of MGCO, have been instrumental in the success of the Business Expo. The Expo fills the upstairs halls, rooms and maze area and spills over to fill the lower level gymnasium. It also includes the location to take a break and get a piece of pie and coffee at Jan's Pie Shoppe. Just down the hall people can place a bid at the Showcase Silent Auction. The auction items are a collection of donations by local businesses and organizations, as well as items from around the metro area.
The festival offers over 40 different activities for all visitors to enjoy. At the community center, children can run from game to game and participate with carnival rides, fun fair food and hands-on activities like the petting zoo or climb through the indoor maze. Some special events are offered outside the community center area, including the Weaver Lake Fishing Clinic and Intro to Geocaching at Weaver Lake Elementary.
Nothing says community more than a Farmers Market or a Sidewalk Sale. People can visit these vendors and support local businesses, farmers and entrepreneurs.
Pick up he "Button of Savings" at the community center for extra shopping savings. The Maple Grove Days Art Fair is located on Main Street. Maple Grove Arts Center and MGCO will host this event, offering the same top quality product art enthusiasts have enjoyed in the past. Take time to check out the learning opportunities for the young artist at the Maple Grove Arts Center.
Last year over 800 people visited the beautifully landscaped gardens offered on the Garden Tour check out the five residents' homes on the tour this year and the Perennial Gardens at the Town Green. With master gardeners available to assist visitors with questions, this event continues to grow in popularity. Tours are Sunday, July 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Be respectful to homeowners and their property while visiting the gardens.
An important addition to the festival the last few years was the placement of the offsite parking and free shuttle buses at the Maple Grove Transit Station. With assistance from the city of Maple Grove, an efficient route provides riders the opportunity to disembark at four locations – the Transit Station, Main Street/Arbor Lake Parkway, Community Center on Vinewood Lane, and Main Street/Lakeview Drive. The shuttle will be available from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and is free to all. With limited parking, this is the perfect solution to making all the stops without fighting the traffic.
Fireworks are a huge draw for Maple Grove Days. People gather early Saturday evening and take their "spot" on the hillsides flanking West Arbor Lake. Be sure to adhere to the 500-foot fall zone for safe seating. Spectators can listen to BOB106.1 as the music features the sights and sounds of the fireworks.
People can visit the website maplegrovedays.org or check out the Osseo-Maple Grove Press, Maple Grove Days Edition, for more information and join us this year at any or all of the events offered during the festival.

In the last couple days I've designed water features for both Dr Pol, Americas favorite veterinarian, and another celebrity who's amongst the Top Ten sports celebrities in the world (stay tuned!) Are you kidding me?! Here's the coolest part...incredibly, its only just the beginning!
When our Reality Series Pond Stars hit the air last September we didn't know what to expect. I never would have expected though what this show would mean to my little company... and the niche pond industry we are in. Pond Stars aired in millions of homes in over 50 countries across the world! Daily I still here from people all over the world who are tuning in and becoming fans of what we do for the first time. Our show exposed so many people who never thought of ponds to the water garden lifestyle I've been living, loving and breathing since 1982. It also exposed us to celebrities we never had access to before.
What began with Pond Stars filmed by someone else, we are continuing ourselves with Aquascape Pond Squad. We get to do what we do and how we like to do it for some incredibly cool people. And with our show we get to showcase to the world something we've know for what seems like forever..."Everyone wants a water feature, they just don't know it yet" Aquascape Pond Squad, with the help of more and more celebrities, is changing that!
Tomorrow we debut an all new episode on our YouTube channel, Aquascape Pond Squad. We won't be showcasing a celebrity build, we will be telling the incredibly cool story of 34 orphan boys living in an incredibly beautiful place we make even prettier called Casa Hoger in Cabo San Lucas. It's just one of the many passion projects we've been afforded the opportunity to do, through the creation of a TV show.
I love what I do and I've never been busier doing it than I am right now. Because after all "Everyone wants a water feature...and now with Aquascape Pond Squad people are finally realizing it!

This morning is an exciting time for some NBA players that were invited to the White House yesterday for a special visit with the President. They were so excited yesterday, that surely they've woke up this morning pinching themselves.
The President invited the Miami Heat to the White House to congratulate them on their victorious season and he took the time to make special remarks to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. President Obama pointed out James astounding record from Game Six of the Eastern conference, according to ABC, saying:
"We saw him pull off one of the greatest performances in basketball playoff history."
During that game, James "scored 45 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out five assists" and they prevailed 98-79. The President called Wade the "heart and soul of this team" and joked about his fashion sense saying:
"And at the post-game press conferences, he dressed well enough to land himself in GQ magazine," he said to laughter. "Show them your kicks here, Dwyane."
But LeBron was so overwhelmed by the moment, he asked the President if he could speak to which the President responded, "It's your world, man." James then said:
"On behalf of myself and my teammates, we just want to thank you … for the hospitality, for allowing us to be, I mean, in the White House. I mean, we're in the White House," James said with excitement. "We're kids from Chicago and Dallas, Texas and Michigan and Ohio and South Dakota and Miami. And we're in the White House right now. Hey, Mama, I made it!"
Great moment! Check it out.

The 'Lone Ranger' actor plays an artificial intelligence researcher whose mind is alive in a computer despite his dying body.
Johnny Depp goes full AI in the first full trailer for "Transcendence". He plays an artificial intelligence researcher named Dr. Will Caster who is gunned down by a member of anti-technology extremist. As his body is dying due to a poison laced in the bullet, his mind is uploaded into a computer by his wife in a desperate attempt to save him.
A third teaser featuring a new narration by a female voice of the extremist group RIFT (Revolutionary Independence From Technology) has also arrived online. "The biggest threat humanity has ever faced is one of our own making. Self-aware technology," she says. "Computers control our banks, our airports, our national security, our lives. Once they're able to think for themselves, they'll use this power to destroy us."
The movie is supported by Morgan Freeman, Rebecca Hall, Kate Mara, Cillian Murphy and Paul Bettany. It's the directional debut of Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister ("The Dark Knight", "Inception").
Written by newcomer Jack Paglen, the sci-fi is co-produced by Pfister's longtime collaborator Christopher Nolan. The story appeared on the 2012 Black List, a list of Hollywood's most anticipated unproduced screenplays. It's due for U.S. release on April 18, 2014.

Red Dog, a film based around true events follows the story of a dog (Koko) who whilst in search of his nomadic master (Lucas) in the Australian outback wins the affections of a small mining community, and brings them all together in the process.
A shaggy dog story that combines elements of every mutt movie ever — The Incredible Journey, Greyfriars Bobby, Lassie, Marley & Me — this is all the more remarkable for being based on real life. A red dog, found in the Australian desert by a bar owner (Noah Taylor) and his wife, is adopted by their entire town, but chooses his own master in inveterate wanderer John (Josh Lucas). Told in flashback as the town stands vigil over a sick Red Dog, it's an affecting series of anecdotes that may not amount to much but are easygoing entertainment. Cast in much the same mould as The Dish, it's never quite so gently effective — Lucas is good here, but he's no Sam Neill — but it would take a very hard heart to find much actually wrong with this.
A heartwarming tale about man's best friend.

Five Finger Death Punch Reveals New Bass Player
Five Finger Death Punch have been working hard on the new album over the past few months, in fact, the last report was that they already had 9 songs completed. That's swift movement for a band who fired bass player Matt Snell in December and had not replaced him…until now.
Five Finger Death Punch announced yesterday that the search for a replacement was over, and that Chris Kael would be taking over as the band's bassist. The guys in FFDP are excited for fans to hear the new bassist and added:
"You'll have the chance to see him this summer. It's time to get this ball rolling and get back on the road we can't wait to hit it."
The old band members the only ones excited, Kentucky native Chris Kael said of landing the new gig:
"Never give up on your dreams. I'm living proof that, with hard work and a little bit of luck, they can come true."
Former bassist Matt Snell was let go for unspecified reasons; which guitarist Zoltan Bathory confirmed saying:
"Yes, he was fired. We have a contract with Matt and it says I can't tell you anything that would hurt his career if he goes any further."
He has also said in a separate interview that Snell was not a "writing member" of the band. Five Finger is still in the studio with producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne's 'Scream'), and are reportedly putting the finishing touches on their third full length album. There is a tentative release date of early September for the still untitled follow up to 2009's 'War is the Answer' (also produced by Churko).

A letter of invitation may help facilitate the B-1 Business Visitor Visa application process. Here are tips for writing a good invitation letter.
Invitation Letter for a B-1 Business Visitor Visa By Bronwen Elizabeth Madden Many U.S. companies welcome legitimate international business partners to the United States for various reasons, such as on-site training at their home facility. When applying for a B-1 Business Visitor Visa, a letter of invitation may help facilitate the visa application process. The invitation letter is a tool designed to clearly communicate the motives and planned activities of the business trip and declare the applicant?s intentions to return to their country at the end of the visit. An invitation letter will not guarantee visa approval; however, below are tips for writing a good invitation letter. Invitations letters need to be written in English and on official company letterhead. They must clearly indicate that their purpose is to request visa issuance and the type of visa sought (B-1 Business Visitor Visa). The name of the individual requesting the visa must be stated in the invitation letter exactly how it appears on their passport. On occasion, a name may be phonetically misspelled on a person?s passport. This is more common when their native alphabet does not have English characters. It is important that there be consistency across all documentation and the name in the invitation letter is identical to the spelling in their passport. Some cultures put the surname first while others place it last, which can cause confusion. By writing the surname in all capital letters, the Consular Officer will easily identify the individual?s surname. The invitation letter should state the individual?s title, the name of the business or organization they represent, and their relationship to the host (e.g., distributor, JV partner, etc.). State the purpose of the visit; in this case the purpose of the visit would be for business. Necessary personal data, including the person?s date of birth, city and country of birth, gender, marital status, and passport number is also required. Most countries, except for the United States, put the day before the month when writing dates. The host may prefer to spell out the month when writing dates to avoid confusion. The letter should articulate the planned dates of travel, which are for a specific and limited time period. If the host intends to cover all visitor travel-related expenses, he or she needs to say so in the invitation letter. Evidence of funds to cover the visitor?s expenses while in the United States is very important. The host?s complete contact details should be included in the letter. On occasion, the Consular Officer may want to contact the host to verify or request additional information. Finally, the letter must be signed in blue ink. Although the host may commit to covering all travel expenses while visiting the United States, the Consular Officer will most likely also want to see evidence of the applicant?s financial stability and resources. Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) states: ?Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status.? To qualify for a B1 Business Visitor Visa, all applicants must demonstrate they possess a residence abroad they have no intention of abandoning. Applicants prove the existence of such residence by demonstrating that they have financial and social ties abroad that would compel them to leave the United States at the end of the temporary stay. The law places this burden of proof on the applicant. The host must mail the invitation letter directly to the visa applicant via courier to ensure timely delivery. Invitation letters should not be mailed to the Consular Section; supporting documents are rarely accepted in advance of the interview. When the visa applicant goes to their interview, he or she should bring the original invitation letter (copies do not suffice) along with their required documentation. Applicants should always check the Consular Section?s website for a complete list of required documentation and other helpful information covering the application process. It is important to remember that a letter of invitation is not sufficient alone, nor is it a guarantee for visa qualification. An invitation letter is not a required document but it does offer documentary evidence supporting the case for visa issuance and may ease the visa application process. Each individual must qualify on their own merits. Below is a sample invitation letter. Sample Letter: This is an example only. If used, please be sure to adapt the specific details for your company and employees.

Sigh, just 9 more days til I get mine.
We already know that the PS4 sold a million units in its first day of sales, and a rather relevant percentage of those amazing sales seems to come from Amazon, where the console still sits in second place in the best sellers chart (at the moment of this writing) after being out of stock for over four days, beaten only by its own controller and leaving Call of Duty: Ghosts for Xbox 360 in the dust.
That's a rather relevant feat. While amazon never fully revealed the inner workings of the best seller charts, it's known that it's based on a combination of weighted timeframe-based averages. Basically the chart is updated hourly, and sales count less and less as time passes, which normally causes out of stock items to drop rather quickly.
That's not the case for the PS4, that evidently sold so much that even something as popular asCall of Duty didn't yet manage to overtake it after more than four days of drought.
It'll definitely be rather interesting to see the behavior of the Xbox One in the chart upon launch in just a few days.

I think they had a wrangle getting some of those consoles out, too, since they were preordered so long ago. I got an email from Amazon customer support asking me to check my payment method expiration date and shipping info for my XOne preordered back in June, since the XOnes are shipping tomorrow for Friday delivery. I didn't get one of those emails the Tuesday before my PS4 shipped. I checked with Amazon support and EVERYONE who preordered an XOne -- you know, all 7 of us -- got that email. I expect a fair number of PS4 preorders, credit cards expired or the people moved long before the PS4s shipped, and they forgot to go in and update the info for that specific order. So their PS4s didn't ship on time while awaiting updated payment information, which they blamed on Amazon, or they went to the wrong address, which they blamed on Amazon. I guess this time Amazon decided to try and head off a lot of wrath of launch day gamers.

And it looks waaaay better in person than it does on the online videos! Everything is so crisp & clean! The UI is also silky smooth and you can very quickly bounce from the game to the OS!

Am I the only one that finds the UI boring? It's just so bare bones compared to what I expected.

Pomp and pageantry kickstarts the London 2012 Olympics
Tour de France winner, Briton Bradley Wiggins, rang the largest harmonically tuned bell in the world to start the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.
All four (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) countries of the UK were represented in song, as the show capturing the best of Britain began.
The spectacle will be viewed by a TV audience of one billion people.
Reuters reports that among the 60,000-strong audience in the Olympic Park are celebrities, ordinary Londoners, dignitaries including America's First Lady Michelle Obama as well as presidents, prime ministers and European royalty.
More than a billion people around the world are estimated to be watching the official start to 17 days of drama involving more than 16,000 athletes from 204 countries.
Chef de Mission Dave Currie is delighted with the turnout and earlier only 39 were expected to take part because others are due to compete in the early part of the Games.
There were loud cheers as the crowd saw a film featuring an unlikely meeting between the Queen and the 007 agent.
The film featuring the encounter between Bond and the monarch at Buckingham Palace prompted much laughter and cheers.
"Good evening Mr Bond," the Queen said in the clip, before they leave together, apparently heading towards the Olympic Stadium in a helicopter.
A helicopter then flew over the stadium to the sound of the Bond theme tune, as two figures parachuted down, one dressed as the monarch.
No fewer than a 116 Team Nigeria contingent would represent the country in eight sports codes at the 2012 London Olympic Games, scheduled for between July 27 and Aug. 12 in London. The team would be expected to access the Games Village in London from their bases in Germany and Surrey, England

Athletics would be represented by 49 persons, 29 athletes, 14 coaches and two administrative staff; Basketball with a team of 16, 12 players, two coaches and two accompanying officials.

When you create a stack of overlays in a DPS article, which overlays take precedent over others? While the answer is complicated, it's also logical. Before I go into which overlays win out in a stack, first I need to explain the concept of "inactive" vs. "active" overlays.
Inactive and Active Overlays
When we're teaching the concept of interactive overlays, we like to explain that non-interactive content is added to the background image of the page while interactive overlays appear on top of this background image, which is why they're called "overlays." While that's accurate, it doesn't tell the whole story. It fails to take into account that some overlays can be active or inactive.
Let's take a look at Colin's image sequence of the Fremont Bridge in Seattle. You can experiment with this example in the Advanced Overlays issue of DPS Tips, or you can watch this quick 10-second video.
Notice what happens to the red arrow and the image sequence overlay. Tapping the image sequence hides the red arrow, which is part of the background image, and double-tapping the image sequence exposes the red arrow again. Why?

If the Kansas City Royals had any lingering memories from last month's 12-game losing streak, their play of late should put those completely out of mind.
Coming off two impressive wins over one first-place team, the Royals look to continue their best stretch of the season against another Wednesday night when they host the Baltimore Orioles.
The season appeared to be slipping away from the Royals when they matched the third-longest losing streak in team history April 11-24 and fell to 3-14. But a surprising turnaround has followed and Kansas City (15-20) enters this two-game series with a season-high four straight wins and 12 in the last 18 contests.
After taking two of three from the White Sox, the Royals finished their road trip with two games against West-leading Texas. Kansas City's pitchers were able to keep the AL's most potent offense in check, limiting the Rangers to five runs en route to the team's first two-game sweep of Texas since 1977.
"To come in here and win two games is big for us,'' manager Ned Yost said. "Our pitching has been pretty good. That shows you how good.''
While an ERA of 1.50 is the biggest reason for the team's four-game run, the hitters have also done their share by going 14 for 38 (.369) with runners in scoring position.
Leading the offense has been Mike Moustakas, who homered and reached base in his 22nd straight game in Tuesday's 7-4 win. He's batting .369 (24 for 65) during that stretch.
Baltimore (23-14) completed a challenging stretch against the Yankees, Boston, Texas and Tampa Bay with a 9-6 record after Tuesday night's 5-2 victory over New York. Wei-Yin Chen pitched seven strong innings and Adam Jones hit his team-best 11th home run to help the Orioles stay tied with the Rays atop the AL East.
"It started with our pitching,'' Jones said. "Chen halted that lineup and gave us an opportunity.''
Much of Baltimore's surprising success can be attributed to its play on the road, where it is 11-5 - a major league-best .687 winning percentage. The Orioles are seeking their first six-game win streak away from home since Aug. 29-Sept. 4, 2004.
J.J. Hardy had five hits in the team's most recent road game and is batting .409 (18 for 44) with five homers and nine RBIs in his last 10 contests overall.
Jones is 18 for 50 (.360) during an 11-game hitting streak against the Royals.
This series features two of the league's best bullpens.
Orioles relievers rank second in the league in ERA (2.28) and closer Jim Johnson is 12 for 12 in save opportunities, yielding one run in 16 2-3 innings. Kansas City's bullpen has compiled a 1.04 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 26 innings over the last seven games.
Tommy Hunter (2-2, 5.14 ERA) gets another chance to establish himself in Baltimore's rotation. Recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday to pitch on three days' rest, the right-hander allowed four runs and five hits over six innings in a 7-3 loss to Texas.
Since pitching very well in consecutive starts at the end of April, Hunter has been roughed up for nine runs and 13 hits in two outings this month spanning 10 1-3 innings. He's 0-1 with a 9.56 ERA in three road starts, giving up seven homers in 16 frames.
Hunter won his only career start against the Royals on Sept. 1, 2010, while with Texas.
Felipe Paulino (1-1, 3.09) makes his third start of the season for Kansas City. After pitching six scoreless innings to beat the Yankees in his season debut, the right-hander gave up four runs and seven hits over 5 2-3 innings in a 5-0 loss to the White Sox on Friday.

Washington Township death ruled accidental drowning
A woman found floating facedown in a Washington Township pool last month died of accidental drowning, according to the Washington County Coroner's office.
A spokeswoman for Tim Warco confirmed Thursday the July 3 drowning death of Denine "Missy" Menozzi, 49, of Clairton, was "accidental in nature."
Menozzi was discovered floating unconscious in a pool at 211 Dent St., by the home's owner, John Baron, at 4:52 p.m. according to Washington Township Det. John McLaughlin.
Menozzi and Baron's sister, Driscilla J. Lazzari of Belle Vernon, had come to Baron's home to swim due to high temperatures, according to a police report. Police said while Lazzari had left the residence to pick up food, Baron came out of the house and discovered Menozzi.
Menozzi had suffered from numerous health issues, including a bout with cancer and multiple previous heart attacks, police said.
She was later pronounced dead at Monongahela Valley Hospital in Carroll Township, which is Warco's jurisdiction.
Menozzi is survived by her husband, Joseph F. Menozzi; one son, Matthew E. Menozzi, also of Clairton; and one daughter, Medina M. Menozzi, of Bridgeville.

Jeremy Sisto and David Walton are well matched in this breezy, likable tennis comedy.
Undeniably likable in its own breezy, resolutely unambitious way, Jay Karas' tennis laffer "Break Point" manages to generate decent laughs, even if its reliance on indie-comedy formula borders on the pathological. Starring a well-matched Jeremy Sisto (who also has story credit, alongside scripter Gene Hong) and David Walton as two odd-couple brothers and doubles partners, the film ought to attract modest distrib interest, although its prospects are far more regional tournament than Grand Slam-sized.
Sisto plays Jimmy, a 35-year-old man-child journeyman (journeyman-child?) tennis pro whose career is already a few years past its expiration date. Thanks to his Ilie Nastase-like court demeanor and Pat Rafter-style approach to pregame drinking, he's just lost his doubles partner (Cy Amundson), and he's become enough of a circuit joke that no one else will agree to play with him as he looks to make one last go for a major tournament.
As hinted at by his veterinarian father (J.K. Simmons), the only option left is for him to ask his younger brother, Darren (Walton), a stick-in-the-mud substitute teacher whom Jimmy ditched for a higher-ranked partner when the two were teenagers. After a lot of predictable bickering, Darren agrees, and the two strive to find a common ground between Jimmy's arrogant recklessness on the court and Darren's careful conservatism.
Perhaps it's needless to say that Darren is tailed everywhere he goes by an adorably oddball little boy (Joshua Rush) whose flamboyant fashion sense and lack of physical prowess mask both a hidden talent and a secret trauma. (Rush has very solid comic timing, but his character is simply a collection of cute quirks.) Darren also carries a torch for Heather (Amy Smart), an assistant in his father's clinic, who is unaccountably dating an oily hair-replacement pitchman (Vincent Ventresca).
Combing the cliches of the underdog-sports-hero and skewed-but-sweet-indie-comedy subgenres, "Break Point" goes pretty much exactly where you might expect it to, with plentiful training montages and some professionally shot, if eventually maddeningly repetitive, tennis competition footage. That it works as often as it does is largely due to Sisto and Walton's playful, relaxed style of back-and-forth, which manages to draw the biggest chuckles precisely by not straining too hard for them.
Tech credits are all perfectly sufficient.
