Many believers, including myself, have been hurt or disappointed by the church. It seems as though church leaders make the headlines for their moral failures on a regular basis, and it's not uncommon to spot members who fail on an individual level as well. With so much publicized moral failure, who could blame Millennials for having a jaded perspective of the church?
Though I sympathize with Christians who have had bad experiences, I also caution them not to speak poorly of the church, to discredit the church as a whole, or quit church altogether. Yes, local church bodies can be messy at times, but there are some amazing and authentic ones out there as well! To be fair when you are examining the "Church" in general, there are a couple of things that you have to keep in mind:
1. Every church building is not filled with God's people. Pseudo-Christians go to church too.
Not everyone you meet in a church building will be saved, and not every church you visit will be lead by a Christian pastor. Some of them "church folk" are faking. That's what "pseudo" means, a "sham," a "bogus," or a "phony." Jesus said this himself in Matthew 7: 21-23:
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness (ESV)."
Jesus said that real Christians are characterized by their love for God and one another, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as well as their obedience to His word (1 John 1:9; John 2:9-11, 3:6-10, 13:34-35; 1 Tim 2:4). Sometimes we hear of people who "backslide" or abandon the faith completely. Paul suggests in 1 John 2:19 that these so-called "Christians" were never believers in the first place.
2. Some pseudo-Christians even lead in some "church establishments."
Sadly, there are even pseudo-Christians leading in some local churches. The Bible specifically talks about "false teachers" and "antichrists". False teachers, as the name implies, teach unbiblical or heretical teachings that lead people astray from embracing the true gospel ( 2 Tim 4:3-4; 1 Tim 6:3-5; Matt 24:24; 1 John 4:1; 1 Tim 4:1; 2 Peter 2:1). "Antichrists" are people that possess a spirit that aggressively denies God, yet mimics God, and seeks to be worshipped as God (1 John 2:18; 1 John 2:22; 1 John 4:3; 2 John 1:7; Matt 24:1-51).
How can you recognize false teachers, false prophets, and antichrists? Well Jesus says in Matthew 7: 15-20 that we can recognize that by their fruit.
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits (Matthew 7: 15-20, ESV)."
When Jesus says their "fruit" He means their lifestyles, teachings, behavior, and attitudes. When you're listening to a bible teacher pay close attention to what is said about Jesus? Ask yourself is this teacher living in a way that demonstrates that he or she is submitted to Christ? Is he or she bearing the fruit of a Christian according to God's word (1 John is a really good place to start to examine that). When the teacher shares the gospel, is it accurate? Or is a gospel contrary to God's word being taught? These are a few questions to ask yourself when sitting under anyone's teaching. Even people that you feel 100% positive that they are Christians.
3. There are some legitimate Christian churches with issues, but there are healthy ones too.
If you haven't seen or participated in a healthy church, naturally it will be tough to recognize one. Sometimes we just choose churches on a whim. Perhaps your grandma or mom went to so-and-so's church, so you decide that you'll go there. Maybe this church is the closest to your house, or that church is famous in your city so you'll become a member there. Pray and be discerning when you choose a church body. There are plenty of healthy churches out there that would love to have another sister or brother in Christ in their church family. By the way, I've created a step-by-step guide for choosing a church right here.
4. There is no perfect church.
Listen as much as I would like to vouch for every group of believers, I have to be honest. Even the best church is not perfect. You just have to read Paul's letters to the Corinthians to know that. But on a serious note, being a Christian doesn't mean that you become perfect overnight. Every church goes through problems here and there. But it's our responsibility as individual believers to have patience, to love, and to bear with each other through it all (Col 3:13; Eph 4:2; Rom 14:13-23).Even the apostles got into arguments (Acts 15:36-39). However they were able to reconcile with one another and God even used those things for the good of the church (2 Tim 4:11).
Will you love Christ's bride?
Don't reject Christian fellowship on the basis that church members are "imperfect" or "hypocritical." That's a slap in the face to God's grace and a form of self-righteousness. You need other Christians (Acts 20:28; Heb 13:17, 10:25), and they need you too (Eph 2:21, 4:16; Rom 12:5; 1 Cor 3:9). The Church is Christ's bride, and He expects you to love her. So what are you going to do with that expectation? Obedience is definitely not the easiest response, but I'm a living witness that it'll make room for the blessing of community in your life when you need it most.

UPDATE: Alas, I've been requested to take the scans down if you're wondering what happened to them. Apologies to GT for overstepping the mark.
A really smashing set of interviews were published this week in the latest issue of GT (or Gay Times to us more ancient readers). This includes Matt Smith's very first interview with the gay press where he confesses that apparently he and Piers have been dragged to gay bars by that naughty Karen and that Steven Moffat has described him as 'Patrick Moore in the body of an underwear model'. Ticks all my boxes, love. A great little interview.
There is some wonderful coverage of the series' return including a conversation with executive producer and head writer Steven Moffat, defensively claiming 'it's the bloody gays! It's got nothing to do with me' about being accused of making Karen's short skirts very, very short and who also announces that Karen's legs have claimed Mark Gatiss and the gay fans of Doctor Who are thus doomed. It's a witty interview, full of lovely innuendo. Unmissable.
There are also catch-ups with Alex Kingston who describes Matt as 'quite sexy' and prides herself on her rock steady wire-work and warns us to watch out for a very scary sequence in a forest with River, Amy and the Doctor and the Weeping Angels, plus an interview with Arthur Darvill who will be playing Amy's boyfriend and new companion Rory; chats with executive producer Piers Wenger revealing that we are in store for some very special things in the next 18 (yes 18!) episodes of Sarah Jane 'she should have her own skin care range' Adventures this year and that's he's been trying to tempt Victoria Wood onto the series (a re-match with Crayola, anyone?); costume designer Ray Holman (who reveals that Matt wears American Apparel underwear), and writer Gareth Roberts spilling the beans that Matt Smith is set to appear pretty much naked in episode eleven. Gasp!
Finally, this coverage is rounded off by a charming natter with Karen Gillan who plays Amy Pond, the Doctor's new companion. Or should we call Karen by her porn star name Fuzzy Springfieldgardens? Yes...no...? Well, it works for me.
You should also pop over to their website, especially non-UK Who fans, for details of a competition to win signed photos of Matt and Karen, new sonic screwdriver toys, books, action figures and DVDS.
But I'm telling you the plot, Michael! Go out and treat yourself to a copy of April's issue which also features interviews with Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg (all trying their damnedest to get the approval of the gays in the forthcoming election), Tom Ellis, Jamie Campbell Bower, Tracey-Ann Oberman (we like her), Debbie Reynolds and the real Phillip Morris.

You can expect a handsome career after completing your degree. Many hospitals offer a very good salary to M.B.B.S. doctors. Almost everyone wants to become a specialist after M.B.B.S. Salary after doing PG is even better. So you can rest assured that your future is secured
There is a compulsory 1 year internship which you have to complete. The stipend is still 6000 rs only but expected to increase shortly. Internship in Sion is considered to be the toughest because the patient load is huge but the best part is you can master your skills here.
Both Public And Private Jobs. Many high profile hospitals come for placements. Foreign companies are also invited for college and job placements. High salaried job get more than fifty percentage students with best residential facility.
Unforgettable experience. Stipend was Rs5000 per month.Nice campus. Good stipend sufficient for one month expenditures. No student need more amount for monthly expenditure.They need money for movies , books and tutions. College fee is very low.
Most of the students pursue CET after MBBS for further education and very few start working directly after if. Without a PG degree opportunities for just an MBBS doctor are very limited.
My internship will be beginning in few days so I can't give detailed review but they say that internship at Sion is the toughest and the one where least no of people get further admission into PG courses stipend is around Rs 7,000.
The students get placed in various big hospitals as well as get absorbed as lecturers in the teaching hospitals, pharmacology students are approached by big pharma companies. The post graduate students usually get paid in range of Rs. 70,000/month to 1,00,000/per month.
There is one year compulsory internship where students are rotated in every departments, there is also rural posting and posting in peripheral hospital, which help students get a better understanding of medical science the stipend is as offered by municipal corporation of greater mumbai it is usually Rs. 5,000/- per month.

During the austral summer of 2006, the Projeto Baleias/Brazilian Antarctic Program (PROANTAR) conducted ship surveys for estimating whale encounter rates and abundance in Gerlache and Bransfield Straits, westward of the Antarctic Peninsula (edge between IWC Areas I and II). The encounter rate was higher in the Bransfield Strait (0.32 groups n. mile-I; 95% CI: 0.26-0.39) than in the Gerlache Strait (0.24 groups n. mile-1; 95% CI: 0.13-0.44), though the difference was not statistically evident. An abundance estimate using conventional distance sampling methods was computed only for the Bransfield Strait. The perpendicular distance data was best fitted by the half-normal model without adjustments. Derived abundance for the surveyed area was 865 humpback whales (95% CI = 656-1,141; CV= 14.13). This area represents only a small fraction of the Stock G feeding ground.

My overwhelming interest, as posts here show, is in the auxiliary forces of the Georgian period, but recent discoveries have sparked a new interest in the dress of the King's German Legion. I'll be laying out some aspects of this in a set of pages here, beginning with some thoughts on sources, then moving on to look at elements of the dress of the Legion in the light of those sources. If and when new information comes along, these pages will be amended.
page 9: 'Heavy' Dragoons 1803-13
page 10: Light Dragoons 1813-16
page 15: Depot Company, Independent Garrison Company, Veteran Battalion
Not surprisingly, readily available primary evidence for the appearance of the KGL is thin and patchy, but over the years a ballooning mass of secondary material has been piled up on these skinny foundations, some of which needs to be questioned. As so often with uniformological matters, sheer repetition by later writers and illustrators has had the effect of fixing in cement features of dress that may or may not be speculative in origin. For example, many details of modern standardised images of the KGL have been derived uncritically from the work of Knötel, which should be used with care.
Primary sources
First then, a quick survey of some primary sources – skipping various isolated bits and bobs, and with no pretence at completion, but just as a pointer to some useful references.
Preserved items
The Bomann Museum at Celle holds these six garments:
Coat (and cap), officer, 1st Line Battalion
Jacket, sergeant, battalion company, 4th Line Battalion
Jacket, sergeant, grenadier company, 4th Line Battalion
Jacket, colour sergeant, light company, 7th Line Battalion
Jacket, sergeant major, 3rd Light Dragoons / Hussars
Jacket, officer, Horse Artillery
Also in the collection are a cap of the 3rd Line Battalion, a drum of the 2nd Line Battalion, a canteen and associated belts and plates. I've not seen these in the flesh, but online searches throw up plenty of images. Among recent secondary sources (see below for a survey of these), Von Pivka's 1974 Osprey has b & w photos of variable quality of some of these, while the Partizan Press compilation by John Grehan includes colour photos of three jackets, including useful rear views, though those of the battalion company sergeant are wrongly captioned.
The Hamburg Museum holds the jacket of Surgeon Georg Gerson of the 5th Line Battalion. Images can be tracked down online.
The Stadtmuseum at Hanover has jackets of an officer of the 5th Line Battalion and of a corporal of the Heavy Dragoons. There is one image of each in Hofschröer's Osprey (see below).
A greatcoat attributed to the KGL and said to have been worn by Wellington, now in the Guards Museum, is shown online here, but is authoritatively stated to be of a much later date. I suspect that this coat may be the basis of the belief that KGL greatcoats were single breasted and capeless, though I am not certain of that.

von Röder
In the Anne S K Brown Military Collection at Brown University, and available in high resolution online, is a set of more than two dozen naïve eyewitness watercolours of uniforms of Wallmoden's army of 1813 by a von Röder (first name not given). Five of these, though titled "Englische", appear to be of elements of the KGL, and three have been annotated thus in pencil. The five apparently show officers of a line and a light battalion, of foot and horse artillery and of the 3rd Hussars. No KGL study seems to have taken any account of these, but they are contemporary and of real value, even if they appear to include some inaccuracies. To give an example of their interest, the light battalion officer is shown wearing the jacket and pantaloons of the 1st Battalion with the "mirliton" cap associated with the 2nd. The von Röder images are discussed in Thomas Hemmann's Die Dömitzer Bilderhandschrift aus dem Jahr 1813, available as an e-book and in Google Books preview. As I'm not a German reader, I can't comment on it.
Johann Adam Klein
Among the 72 coloured uniform drawings by Klein in the Hamburg Art Museum is one of a group of KGL infantry drawn from life in March 1815. Several details are of interest. The original can be found online as an alamy stock image, while a copy by Georg Schäfer is among his versions of Klein's images in the Anne S K Brown collection.
Charles Hamilton Smith
Hamilton Smith's well known plate series, Costume of the Army of the British Empire, contains a single plate of three figures representing the KGL. It is excellently reproduced in Philip J Haythornthwaite's 2002 version under the title Wellington's Army, while the original pencil drawing for the plate is online at the Anne S K Brown collection. In addition, the charts to Hamilton Smith's plates include nine schematic entries for the KGL, which are useful and not without interest; they show, for example, both light battalions identically dressed by 1815, at variance with the usual sources.
Jan Anthonie Langendijk
Of the many images by this prolific artist in the Royal Collection, eight are of cavalry of the KGL, of which four are available as online images. None of the eight are included in the plates to Miller & Dawnay's 1966-70 catalogue, but they are briefly described there. Those authors cast doubt on the originality of Langendijk's images and on the "sensitivity" of his detail, but as contemporary depictions these images must deserve some attention.
North Ludlow Beamish; the Beamish Centrepiece
Beamish's celebrated 1832 History of the King's German Legion contains a well known and comprehensive series of uniform plates drawn by Count Castell of the 3rd Hussars, which have been influential. Though close to period and directly informed, they are retrospective and not entirely reliable in their detail. Even so, they are an essential reference. These were reproduced in Schwertfeger's Geschichte der Koeniglich Deutschen Legion of 1907.
At the National Army Museum is an impressive piece of silver tableware presented to Beamish in 1839 by ex-officers of the Legion. The Centrepiece includes ten carefully modelled figures of men of the Legion, close in detail to the plates in Beamish's history.
Tailors' books
- Stothard's "Rigementals"
- The Meyer ledger
- The Pearse notebook
Stothard's "Rigementals"
The Anne S K Brown Military Collection at Brown University contains a tailor's notebook titled "Rigementals"; this is a collection of "Memorandoms" compiled around 1813 by the tailor William Stothard, with some fascinating drawings and notes. Images of the pages are not available online, though a drawing for the KGL is shown in Bryan Fosten's 1981 Osprey, Wellington's Infantry 1. "Rigementals" includes 12 entries for officers of the KGL: drawings of line and light battalion jackets, with the remaining items related to the Legion's hussars, including detailed drawings of jackets, pelisses and pantaloons.
Stothard's background is not known, but he was certainly familiar with officers' clothing produced by London tailors from 1811. A number of items in the book can be tied to entries in the ledger of Jonathan Meyer (see the following item), and it's possible that Stothard was at some point employed by Meyer.
The Meyer ledger
A ledger used by the London tailor Jonathan Meyer from 1809 survives at the successor firm of Meyer & Mortimer of Savile Row. As an accounts ledger, it contains no drawings, but entries do include brief descriptions of items made. Meyer seems to have had a particular reputation for pelisses, greatcoats, pantaloons and overalls. The contents are strong for cavalry, especially hussars, and for the KGL in general, well over 100 KGL officers being among the customers. Details can be gleaned from these entries that help to round out our knowledge of their appearance.
The Pearse notebook
One of the notebooks of the major clothiers J N & B Pearse, in the keeping of the Canadian War Museum, has a brief entry for the other ranks of the Line Battalions of the Legion, with two lace samples. This dates from 1803 or later, but it is impossible to be more precise.
Secondary sources
Next, a look at a few secondary sources, chosen either because they're influential or because they're readily available online. Modern images of the KGL exist in abundance, but tend to feed off each other; what follows may help to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the whole.
Richard Knötel
Knötel's (1857-1914) monumental Uniformenkunde series contains (to the best of my knowledge) eleven plates devoted to the Legion, with a degree of duplication over the years. The later plates in particular are admirably drawn, and, given Knötel's status, his work on the KGL has become a standard reference and the default inspiration for many subsequent illustrators. His debt to Castell's images in Beamish and to Hamilton Smith (see above) is evident, but some figures include details whose origins are unclear, and it's hard to know how sound these may be. Though splendid, his reconstructions should be viewed with a careful eye. Why, for instance, do his Light Battalion officers wear double silver trouser stripes? (See also comments on related images in Schäfer and von Pivka, below.)
In the Anne S K Brown Collection is a collection of 146 uniform watercolours by Charles Lyall, of which 22 are of of the KGL. Judging by the style of the monogram signature, these are probably by the opera singer, caricaturist and watercolourist Charles Lyall, c 1833-1911. They are pleasantly decorative, but derive directly from Knötel, with a few original errors of detail thrown in; they do not contribute anything to our knowledge of the KGL.
Winand Aerts (Aertz)
The Bomann Museum, Celle, holds a number of uniform watercolours by historian and illustrator Winand Aerts (1879- ?), dated to 1912-13. Half a dozen are reproduced in Mike Chappell's two Osprey KGL titles (see below). These are nicely done, but to be honest, it's hard to spot anything in them not taken directly from Knötel. A further three are reproduced in Peter Hofschröer's Osprey (see below) attributed to an "unknown artist". This is odd, given that one is clearly signed by Aerts and dated 1913. Two of these are not derived from Beamish or Knötel, and appear to provide new information. They are discussed on page 2.
Also in the Anne S K Brown Collection is a set of eight watercolours by Schäfer (1896-1975), dated to 1954, of uniforms of the 1st Light Dragoons / Hussars. Confidently executed, they include a number of convincing details extra to the primary evidence that I know of. Without knowledge of Schäfer's sources it's difficult to make any judgement about this. To pick on just one doubtful point, an image of a trooper dated to 1803-5 [left] shows the Tarleton worn with what appears to be the light dragoon jacket of 1812. A similar figure for the 3rd Light Dragoons of 1809 in von Pivka (see below) is referenced to "a sketch by Knötel" that I've not been able to track down, but which surely has to be in error. (See discussion of this on page 5.)
I have no idea whether Schäfer created similar suites for other units of the KGL.
- Otto von Pivka
- Mike Chappell
- Other Osprey titles
- John Grehan
Otto von Pivka, The King's German Legion, Osprey Men-at-Arms series, 1974
The plates in this early Osprey include a number of questionable or plainly incorrect features. As the compact format of the series leaves little or no space to reference details, the reader is obliged to think the worst. Use made of the Beamish images and of Knötel plates seems to have been uncritical. For one problematic example see my comment under Schäfer, above. Outside of the plates, the text is sparsely illustrated, mainly with useful photos of preserved items at Celle, though the quality of these is not always the best.
Mike Chappell, The King's German Legion (1) 1803-1812; (2) 1812-1816, Osprey Men-at-Arms series 338 & 339, 2000
Osprey's catch-up on the problematic von Pivka. There is evidence here of recourse to a wider range of good sources, such as the Wheatley diary. But given the limited space of an Osprey, even in a two part study, it's hard to know which of the many new features are rooted in actual evidence and which are the products of reasonable speculation; Mike Chappell is such a superlative illustrator technically that he makes everything look entirely believable! But where did that Light Battalion knapsack design come from? Were Light Battalion caps really reinforced with leather on the crown and band, or is that just the impression given by Beamish? Is the design on the bass drum based on anything more than the side drum at Celle? And so on … There are a few elements here about which I feel bound to remain agnostic until evidence for or against comes my way.
Other Osprey titles
Bryan Fosten's Wellington's Infantry 2 (119, 1982), Wellington's Light Cavalry (126, 1982) and Wellington's Heavy Cavalry (130, 1982) all contain text and plates on elements of the Legion. I have enormous respect for Fosten's work, but this doesn't mean that there aren't occasional issues created by over-reliance on Knötel. Peter Hofschröer's The Hanoverian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (206, 1989), illustrated by Fosten, has its problems: Hofschröer's text on uniforms is unsatisfactory and he seems to have relied, wisely, on the Fosten brothers for input to the plates. Even so, its coverage of the Legion includes a few useful images not shown elsewhere.
John Grehan, Britain's German Allies of the Napoleonic Wars, Partizan Press, 2013.
John Grehan is a prolific writer on things Napoleonic, but was he the man for the job here, even with the additional input of Bob Marrion? This compilation, well enough received in some quarters, also covers the armies of Hanover and Brunswick-Oels but still finds room for 50 odd pages on the Legion. Quite apart from anxieties about the cost and repro quality of my print-to-order copy, I can't honestly recommend this book. Everything is thrown in, nothing is referenced or footnoted, illustrations are not tied to text, and images of the Legion are limited to Knötel prints, a couple of Marrion paintings, some amateurish line drawings done by someone else, and (heaven help us) a bunch of derivative cigarette cards. There are useful colour photos, side and back included, of three of the Celle jackets, but only three, and one of those is wrongly captioned. But I won't go on.

Octavia Spencer named Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Oscar winner Octavia Spencer has been named Woman of the Year by Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals.
The award is handed out annually to people who have made lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment.
The group said in a statement Wednesday that Spencer's "depth of talent has captivated audiences with her comedic wit and her graceful portrayals of the underrepresented."
Spencer is scheduled to be honored with a parade through the streets of Cambridge on Jan. 26, followed by a roast and the presentation of her pudding pot.
Spencer won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Minny Jackson in 2011's "The Help."
Previous Hasty Pudding winners include Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn and Helen Mirren.

Stuff: Restoring the Godfather and Putting Drew Barrymore on Wheels
Stuff: Restoring the Godfather and Putting Drew Barrymore on Wheels
X-Files fanatics take note: really, really good actress Gillian Anderson is going to be in a production of Ibsen's A Doll House in London next spring. Start saving your pennies now. I hope the new movie makes lots of money for her sake if nothing else. Have you seen The Mighty? Damn, she's good.
AVG's new ad campaign is Hugs for Hackers. Basically, the idea is that AVG will stop the hackers dead in their tracks, so they're going to be pretty bummed. And they'll need a hug. They even snagged and put up a site on hugsforhackers.org. No, I haven't linked to it because I went there and trust me, I've already told you the clever bit. We must all now smirk, nod, and keep moving.
Godfather's back. "The Coppola Restoration" is hitting DVD and Blu-Ray (no pre-order available yet) on September 23rd. From what I can tell from Paramount's press release, there's no new footage or anything, it's just that they restored it frame by frame over the course of a year, which is unlike that reel by reel restoration…I…guess. Regardless, the four-disc set we had previously is replaced by a five-disc set where the fifth disc is all new stuff, so it's the old set and then some. The Blu-Ray collection is four-disc but appears to just slam all the bonus bits onto a single disc. However, I'd like to point out that there never was a Godfather III. That is a vicious rumor and by me posting this I am in no way subscribing to the crackpot theory that the film ever existed.
British Remakes are the order of the day, seeing as how Life on Mars U.S. was so well received. Cracker is coming to TNT stateside. The Prisoner is for AMC with Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellen. And Eleventh Hour a ponderous short series starring Patrick Stewart as a scientist responding to Serious Threats, is being re-worked by Jerry Bruckheimer for CBS and premieres in October. Of them all, that actually sounds the most promising, probably because the original wasn't that hot to begin with.
The Little House on the Prairie musical starring Melissa Gilbert has broken the one day record for ticket sales at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. On June 26th, they sold 5500 or so tickets, easily beating Ian McKellen in Lear, which sold 3639 tickets there in one day last year. Gilbert will be playing the role of the mother in the show, and then to really press the feud with Sir Ian, will be taking over the role of Magneto in X-Men 4.
Needcoffee fave Tovah Feldshuh is in a new play called Irena's Vow at New York's Baruch Performing Arts Center. Previews start September 7th, regular shows September 22nd. The play "centers on a Polish woman forced to work as head housekeeper for a prominent Nazi officer and faced with the choice to protest 12 Jewish refugees who come under her care." There's going to be a PBS docu about what she did to prepare for the role and the research she did in Poland on this real-life persons he's portraying. Most of you know her as every once in a while recurring character on Law & Order.
Rock Band 2 is slated for September and, also, exclusive to the Xbox 360. At least until right before the holidays. Expect the game to get previewed at E3. Maybe they'll improve the singing-matching capability. And then I can have another go at "Sabotage." I mean…how did I get a 73% on "Sabotage"? It's just shouting in rhythm. I mean for Christ's sake, Harmonix. That's just not possible.
Sixpence None the Richer are back and have a Christmas album coming out on October 14th, The Dawn of Grace. They're even giving away "Angels We Have Heard on High" for free. Find it here. Not bad. Any Christmas album that can keep the family happy and not bore the crap out of you is welcome with us. This will tide you over until you can break out The Vandals, anyway. No pre-order available yet.
Terminator: Salvation is looking to get Helena Bonham Carter on board. No word on whether or not her character will carry over into the next film, Terminator: Wicked Prayer.
Whip It! is exactly what you've been hoping for: a rollergirls feature film starring and directed by Drew Barrymore. Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis and Ellen Page are in skates as well. Well, no…Harden's playing Page's mom who disapproves of her rollergirling ways. Sorry, Leigh. I meant to say "rollerwomaning." Anyway, I'm sure Harden will come around by the end and have a change of heart and accept her daughter and maybe even get on the rink and kick some ass and something something something.

You never know what might break on an RV, and during our 2015 RV travels from Arizona to Nova Scotia and back, we faced four major repairs on our 8 year old fifth wheel trailer in four short months.
The last breakdown — the failure of our fifth wheel trailer's suspension — ended up being the most expensive repair of them all, because the entire trailer suspension had to be replaced.

A touchy feely display
After a year and a half of spending a lot of time with various tablets, I've become thoroughly spoiled by quality IPS panels. It probably doesn't hurt that, for many more years than that, I've splurged on true 24-bit monitors for my desktop rigs. Coming from those screens, the X202E's display is a bit of a letdown.
Contrary to what you might think, the 1366x768 display resolution isn't really an issue. Text and images aren't as crisp as those on a Retina-equipped iDevice, but jagged edges and blocky pixels are hard to see when the X202E is sitting on your lap or at arm's reach on a table. The one-megapixel resolution is a good fit for the 11.6" screen. As an added bonus, you won't run into any of the annoying scaling issues associated with Windows 8 on high-PPI displays.
Win8's touch-friendly Modern UI will be at your fingertips, though. The VivoBook's screen supports 10-finger multitouch input, and it seems to be pretty responsive. To be honest, it's hard to tell how well the notebook's touchscreen works because reaching up to use it feels inherently awkward. The touchpad supports all the same core OS gestures and sits much closer to the natural position of one's hands. Plus, the tip of the mouse cursor is much more precise than the business end of one of your digits.
While the screen's touch capability fails to add truly valuable utility, at least it doesn't detract from the experience. Unfortunately, the mediocre quality of the underlying LCD does. The screen has the telltale poor viewing angles of a TN panel, as you can see in the images below. The pictures were shot at the same distance, exposure settings, and lens height with the display at 100% brightness. On the right, from top to bottom, are straight-on shots of the screen angled back at 110°, standing vertical at 90°, and angled forward at 70°. The picture on the left has the screen vertical but the notebook rotated 30° counter-clockwise.
In the picture on the left, you can see that the horizontal viewing angles aren't too bad. The on-screen image is only a little darker than the dead-on view immediately to the right. However, the vertical viewing angles are atrocious. Even with the screen deviating only 20° in each direction, the image is either washed out or substantially darker. Thankfully, the screen has enough tilt adjustment to accommodate a perfect view in most positions, at least for one person. Just be prepared to change the angle every time you change positions.
While I was taking the forward angle shot, I noticed a lot of light shining out of the bottom edge of the screen. Here's what it looks like with an all-black image on the screen standing upright at 90°.
There are no sharp points of backlight seepage, but the bottom third of the screen is awash in the pale glow of what looks like the first stage of moonrise over a cold, bleak desert. The backlight bleed isn't something I noticed when testing the system in Windows, but it is visible when watching fullscreen movies in a dark room.
We can also quantify the unevenness of the backlighting with our colorimeter. The table below illustrates the screen's luminosity across a grid. Measurements were taken at full brightness in the center of each region. Luminance readings are presented both as cd/m² figures, which we read using our colorimeter, and as percentages of the most luminous point we measured. Note that luminance and perceived brightness follow different scales, so the display appears more uniform than the chart below might suggest.
|183 cd/m²
|178 cd/m²
|187 cd/m²
|205 cd/m²
|209 cd/m²
|209 cd/m²
|199 cd/m²
|223 cd/m²
|205 cd/m²
To no one's surprise, the brightest section is the bottom middle. The top of the display is up to 20% dimmer, and the right is a little stronger than the left. Smack in the middle, the screen pumps out only 209 cd/m². That may be sufficiently powerful for most indoor environments, but you don't want to be using the X202E in anything close to direct sunlight.
Our colorimeter has one more trick up its sleeve: the ability to measure color reproduction. We can use the data it collects to map the screen's color gamut. Click the buttons under the image to switch between the X202E and Asus' pricier UX31A ultrabook, which has an IPS display.
The VivoBook X202E covers a much narrower range of colors than its ultrabook relative. The UX31A costs much more, of course, but the IPS displays on modern tablets like Asus' own VivoTab RT also offer better color reproduction than X202E. Those systems are in the same price range as the X202E, too.
You don't need a fancy colorimeter to notice the screen's pale colors, which have a certain lifelessness when viewed next to a true IPS panel like the one on VivoTab RT. The difference is stark. That said, the X202E's panel doesn't appear to be substantially worse than other TN displays I've used in the past. If you don't have frequent exposure to higher quality screens on other devices, you can probably enjoy X202E in blissful ignorance of the lushness you're missing.
One more thing: we can also use our colorimeter data to depict the color temperature of the screen, which we've again compared to the UX31A. Click the buttons below the image to switch between the two notebooks.
By just looking at the screen, you wouldn't think the X202E's color temperature was so far off the 6500K illuminant that represents typical daylight. That's probably because the screen comes close to a neutral temperature with pure whites, which is where warmer or cooler tinges are most visible. Things go off the rails as white fades to gray and eventually black, making me wonder if the screen's backlight bleed might be tainting the results. The UX31A certainly doesn't have any problems maintaining a neutral color temperature across a wide range of gray levels.
