Stone Breath - The Snow-White Ghost-White Stag
DW036 – Stone Breath – Song
|On March 31, 2012, Timothy Renner led his band of Dark Holler minstrels up into PA's central mountains for one of our Deep Water concerts (a double bill with Arborea). While Tim has played here often, this was his first visit with the long-running/lately-revived Stone Breath, which to our minds clearly called for documentation via multi-channel live recording. The show also marked the first significant out-of-town performance by the current edition of the group, and they certainly rose to the occasion, invoking the magick with dynamic versions of a cross-section of favorite songs from recent studio albums. As Stone Breath's first-ever live release this is a must for any fan, and it also works as a fine (re)introduction to dark, spiritual, and macabre folk music that is the group's trademark. Ten tracks, 40 minutes.

Get a Conscience
Everett PiperEverett Piper's Blog
- 2011 Feb 17
Note: If you would like to listen to this blog and others on KWON/KYFM radio go to http://www.bartlesvilleradio.com/pages/ideas-matter. Also, if you would like a copy of Dr. Piper's new book Why I Am a "Liberal" And Other Conservative Ideas go to whyiamaliberal.com, everettpiper.com or amazon.com
In 1833 Orange Scott, the founder of the Wesleyan Church, felt his conscience aroused by the sudden realization that a great evil had been going on right under his nose and he had not noticed or cared. Looking around at the cheap labor being used to prop up the agricultural machine of the South, Scott declared:
I [feel] it my duty to call the attention of my countrymen to the wrongs and outrages suffered by the wretched slaves of our land, to which I had been so long indifferent and a stranger; that by having a torch light presented to the slumbering national mind, it would be roused to see the evil and defilement of the land, and throw off this great abomination.
Embarrassed by his ignorance of the injustice suffered by those around him, Orange Scott went further:
[I have been] ignorant on the question of slavery...though I am ashamed to confess it. I did not suppose that slavery existed [in my circles]. Indeed, I scarcely knew it existed at all.
Finally, in conviction he proclaimed to anyone who would listen:
Shall we turn our backs on the cause of suffering humanity…? No! Never!
Today, with upwards of 300,000 underage girls being held in sexual slavery in the U.S. alone and with 27 million being trafficked worldwide… Today with teenage girls being salaciously exploited by the same men who sanctimoniously demand their sexual liberation… Today with over 46 million women violated each year by the profiteers of a billion dollar abortion industry…Today is perhaps the day for us to remember the lesson of Orange Scott, pray for a conscience, awaken from our national slumber and set aside our indifference to the evils that defile our land and stop turning our backs on the cause of suffering humanity.

A Nerve reader tries to break her love 'em and leave 'em ways.
Wise readers,
Each week, the inbox of our venerable advice columnist, Miss Information, is flooded with queries. And although she makes a valiant effort, she cannot answer them all. To deal with the surplus, we've decided to turn to you. So, don your spectacles and help this girl out. You can give her advice in the comments below, or, if you'd like to share what you wrote with your friends, on our Facebook page.
Dear Nerve,
A couple of months ago, I made the really drastic decision to move to another country to finish my degree in nursing. Right off the bat, I clicked with this one guy and we became close. From the beginning, I told him I didn't want a boyfriend while I was abroad (even though I'll be here for four years). Relationships are just too hard for me, because I seem to only have a two-month attention span when it comes to guys.
Here's how my formula usually goes: I meet a guy, we get along, we date, I fall pretty hard and "swear I've never felt like this before," and everything's perfect. Then suddenly, as though someone flipped a switch, I'm no longer interested. I get irritated, I pick stupid fights, I begin to act distant, guy gets confused, we break things off. I pretend it never happened, while the guy is still trying to figure out what the fuck happened.
It's a sad, pathetic cycle, I know. So, the second I started getting feelings for this new guy, I told him it would be best if we didn't date. We continued to hang out, but eventually fell into boyfriend/girlfriend roles, texting/calling constantly, being each other's dates to various functions, sneaking around and hooking up, though we would tell each other and everyone else we know that we were "just friends."
We began running into problems when a friend of his expressed interest in me. I was stupid enough to consider it, my logic being that I'd rather going through my "cycle" with some random hot guy than keep going with my friend and ruin everything. But before anything happened, I realized I would hurt my friend, and did nothing.
But, everything changed anyway. Though we still hook up, he's distanced himself. He goes out of his way to flirt with other girls in front of me, doesn't ever text or call me anymore, ignores me when we're around other people until I approach him (and if I don't, he ignores me the entire time), and generally just tries to act aloof when we're together. I called him out on it the other day and he response was that he still felt the same about me, but he knows his two-month time limit is almost up.
Perversely, since he's pulled away, I've found myself interested in him all over again. We're passing the two-month mark, and I still want to date him. I know it's because he's pulled away that I'm interested, and I know that's stupid, but I can't help myself.
Should I keep after him and try to make it work? Or just find another fling? I should add that we're in the same nursing program, so I'll see him every day for the next four years, no matter what. If the advice is to cut my losses, how do I move on when I see him every day?
— Benefits Gone Awry

Babcock & Wilcox and TerraPower to partner on development of Gen IV traveling wave reactor
17 February 2014
The Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W) and TerraPower have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support the development of TerraPower's Generation IV traveling wave reactor (TWR). Unlike B&W's Generation III++ small modular reactor (SMR) mPower which is based on PWR technology and standard fuel enriched to 5% (earlier post), TerraPower's TWR is a larger reactor based on Generation IV technology and designed to use depleted uranium as fuel.
Nuclear fission power plants produce electricity by utilizing the heat resulting from splitting large atoms, such as U-235, into smaller atoms. Each time an atom splits (or "fissions") it releases neutrons and heat. In turn, released neutrons cause other fissions, creating a sustained chain reaction.
TWRs, also known as a breed-and-burn reactors or nuclear-burning-wave reactors, are a variety of fast reactor that uses an initial mass of low-enriched fuel to initiate a wave of fission that can then continue propagating through fertile fuel, such as natural or depleted uranium.
As described in a 2012 paper by TerraPower staff, the TWR is of the "standing wave" type, meaning that assemblies are shuffled to keep the power producing region in one place.
The TWR commercial reactor plant design is a 1,150 MW liquid-sodium-cooled fast reactor that uses depleted uranium as fuel. The novel design allows for the use of depleted uranium generated by the enrichment process used for existing light water reactors fueled with enriched uranium.
|Source: TerraPower. Click to enlarge.
The TWR's economic benefits stem from its ability to breed and burn metallic fuel comprising initial starter fuel of U-235 and U-238. Conventional nuclear energy plants use U-235 because U-238 is considered too weak of an energy source.
TerraPower's ability to develop new fuels and materials that can breed and burn U-238 could enable a TWR to get up to 50 times more energy out of every pound of mined uranium than can a conventional light water reactor, the company says.
With the conceptual design phase under way, B&W will provide support to TerraPower as the project enters the preliminary design phase.
B&W will provide TerraPower with services and program support in multiple areas, which may include design and fabrication of engineered components; fuel fabrication process development, prototype fabrication, fuel services; reactor design engineering; reactor operations support; staff augmentation, both US and foreign assignment; engineering services; flow loop testing; licensing support; and materials testing.
Through this MOU and the agreement on which the parties are currently working, B&W will be recognized as a strategic technology supplier, while TerraPower continues its design work and prepares to commercialize the reactor globally.

Yes, theoretically you can burn plutonium from spent fuel rods if it works, this design has just been simulated. I prefer the thorium designs with fast breeders in second place.
For desalinization, you could put solar thermal troughs down in Mexicali, take sea water from the Gulf of California and provide water to homes in Arizona and southern California.
Of course, you can desalinate using multistage evaporator condensers run off the cooling secton of many power plants.
Oh-oh. Mentions the TWR relies on liquid sodium, which has been a failure for 50 years. No chance it will burn fuel continuously for 40 years and engender public trust.
I would suggest reopening heavy water as a core technology. This simplifies reactor cooling and neutron moderation with a material that lasts virtually forever -- water. A thorium/U238 mix produces a great deal of fissile uranium (233 and 235) and Pu, which can be readily reprocessed from chemically distinct thorium. If needed, the fuel pellets can start big and fat, and shaved off from the outer surface, leaving the inner section to fit a standard reactor. The outside would be reprocessed and remixed. The outside and the inside would have different fuel constituencies, to maximize extractable energy.
We're not talking about converting all the fuel to energy, but we are talking about minimizing the relative costs of mining, enrichment, and fuel remediation to meet the cost parameters of the initial heavy water investment.
I barely hear anything about CANDU or heavy water these days so I would like to know if you all out there have.
The US government should throw a fair bit of money at this and try to get something out as fast as is safe.
While renewables (solar and wind) are very pretty and becoming cheap, they are still intermittant, so you need something (preferably non fossil) to keep the grid running.
Can you throttle these reactors or do they just keep going at a constant rate ?
Either way, they'd be a lot better than coal - in terms of co2 and other "local" pollution (NOX, SO2 soot, etc).
A perfect solution would be a throttleable nucelar reactor which could be used (with a bit of hydro and fossil peakers for load shaping) to balance wind and or solar.
However, even if we had base load replacement, it would be a good thing.
[ France gets 79% of their power from Nukes, so that shows what can be done with a bit of will [money] and national pride. ]
Oh-oh. Mentions the TWR relies on liquid sodium, which has been a failure for 50 years.
The sodium-cooled EBR-II was a rousing success for 30 years, until it was shut down by a budget cutoff 20 years ago (through the machinations of Hazel O'Leary and John Kerry). The "disasters" at reactors like Monju involved no injuries and caused no release of radiation.
I would suggest reopening heavy water as a core technology.
Water is a high-pressure coolant, with all of the issues of rapid loss and explosive energy release that implies.
I barely hear anything about CANDU or heavy water these days
The site of the heavy-water plant in Ontario was just certified as being non-nuclear. Not even Canada is in the heavy water business any more.
I'm a fan of molten salts, but I have to agree that there are things that sodium-cooled fast reactors can probably do better. If we're going to have energy diversity, we need technology diversity within the nuclear field.
Can you throttle these reactors or do they just keep going at a constant rate ?
Who cares? Design them to dump steam if required (you'll get some very rapid response to power demand). Use excess heat for non-electric purposes, like hydrothermal cracking of cellulose to sugars or HMF. There's a ton of jobs that cheap, carbon-free energy is ideal for.
As many posters repeatedly say, what would be the total initial and total on-going cost? Not mentioned-detailed and probably both very high!
Even at over $0.16/kWh, USA may need it to replace some of the 400+ existing polluting CPPs and older NPPs.
Eventually, a mix with 25% to 40% Solar + Wind could bring total e-energy sources cost between $0.10 and $0.15/kWh. When equivalent liquid fuel replacement taxes applied, future EV users should get recharges at under $0.20/kWh. That's still cheaper than liquid fuels at $4 to $8/gallon.
Finely divided iron will burn on contact with air. So do many streams in petroleum refineries. We tend to get by pretty well even without using an inert cover gas, as we do with sodium-cooled reactors and welding of magnesium and aluminum.
The advantage of sodium is its high boiling point, low neutron absorption and very non-corrosive nature. It's relatively cheap as well.
"The BN-600 reactor is a sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor, built at the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Station, in Zarechny, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. Designed to generate electrical power of 600 MW in total, the plant dispatches 560 MW to the Middle Urals power grid. It has been in operation since 1980."

Category(ies) No Categories
The third meeting of the University Seminar on Medieval Studies for the 2012-2013 academic year will take place on Tuesday, December 4, from 5:30-7:00pm in Room 2 of Faculty House (Columbia University). Please note that this talk was previously scheduled for November 27.
What can we learn about the practice of married life from the clerical celibacy debate in the central Middle Ages?
Elisabeth van Houts, Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge and New York University
From the middle of the eleventh century consecutive popes proposed radical changes to the ways in which secular priests lived their lives. Whereas up to that time most secular priests were married and had families, the reform policies stipulated that they ought to become celibate, cast away their wives and children and concentrate exclusively on their pastoral role. Not surprisingly, there was immense resistance against these proposals which took almost one hundred years to be properly implemented. While much modern scholarship has focused on the theological and ideological aspect of this debate, relatively little attention has been paid to what these sources reveal about the actual practice of married life amongst priests. A second related question follows from such an investigation, namely how different in practice was the life of a married priest and his wife from that of a lay couple? These questions matter not least because they force us to reflect on the validity of ecclesiastical texts as the unique sources we have for marriage amongst the the priesthood and the laity. I am particularly interested in the sources that reveal deep anxiety amongst the priests' families about the proposed breakup of their social lives together as well as the emotional toll this took. Such strong feelings about married life cannot easily be found elsewhere.
The talk will be followed by dinner at Faculty House. All those who wish to dine with the speaker after the talk must make reservations by contacting the rapporteur of the seminar, Jeffrey Wayno, either by phone or by email no later than one week before the talk (email: firstname.lastname@example.com). Dinner is a fixed buffet menu, which costs $25 per person. Payment can be made to the rapporteur by cash or check, although checks are strongly preferred. Please make checks out to "Columbia University."

CARLSBAD -- Three people were injured in a four-car pileup that left a semi-truck in the middle of busy Interstate 5 traffic Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
The accident was reported at 6:24 p.m. and blocked one lane of northbound I-5 north of Cannon Road, said Carlsbad battalion Chief Mike McFadden.
It is unknown what caused the accident, which left two cars destroyed and a Porsche on fire, McFadden said.
The blaze was largely extinguished by passersby by the time firefighters arrived, and three people were transported to Tri-City Hospital for treatment of unspecified moderate injuries, McFadden said.
The accident also caused major backup on the freeway for more than an hour, McFadden said.
"It was an absolute mess," McFadden said.

You are bidding on a $1 Macon and Brunswick Rail Road Company bill. It was issued in Macon, GA on Feb 1st, 1867. The center picture shows 3 men loading cotton bales on to a wagon. An attractive lady is shown in the upper left, and corn in the lower right. This bill was printed with red, green and black inks. It says "One Fare Ticket Redeemable in Currency" and "Good for Fares, Freight, and all dues to the company". The back has an intricate green design around the word ONE and the number 1. The holes are cancellation marks - this one was used! It has pinholes, edge tears and holes. Another interesting old bill!MACON, Ga. – Railroads in this central Georgia city date to 1838 when the Monroe Railroad opened between Forsyth and Macon. Macon, partly because of its location, was a major railroad hub and served a connection point between several railroads. Years after the Monroe Railroad, in 1842 or 1843 the Central railroad was completed to Savannah. The route proved to be an important one because it gave Macon direct access to a key Atlantic port. A later incarnation of the Monroe Railroad, the Macon & Western Railroad, started operating train between Macon and Atlanta in 1846. The railroad later became a part of the Central of Georgia Railway. In 1845, the Southwestern Railroad started building its line from Macon ... read more

What events are in Ensenada for Sept 16 2015?
I'm a disabled, single Dad of two kids ages 14 & 12. I'm considering moving to Ensenada. Is it a good place to raise children? What requirements must I meet to move us? Are there English language schools there? Any tips and/or advice is welcomed and appreciated.
1. Do we need a tourist card
2. Will my childs birth certificate satisfy the entry/exit requirements
3. I was told Ensenada was located in the "free zone " so does that mean I do not need a vehicle permit. Banjerito bank gladly took the fee's, issued the permit, and took the $350 depsit, OF COURSE, even though the app stated we are driving to Ensenada, hahaha,, Any advice ?
4. Does my child need a parental consent form translated into Spanish from her Mom.
When we got home from one of our trips to ensenada, I had to buy a new tire rim. the car made it home to dana point ca. because the air came out slow enough not to cause a flat too soon. whats wrong with that city that they leave the same pot holes there that get bigger over time and they don't know how to repair pot holes in the street ? that one was hard to avoid hitting because it was either hit that or get hit by another car, they drive like they're nuts there too.
Why are public restrooms scarce in Ensenada ?
19 year old college daughter and I are going to Ensenada for 2 days tomorrow -- we are both outdoorsy, nature lovers, also both speak Spanish and love culture and meeting people. Not big shoppers. At home staying at a really inexpensive hotel or a nice resort. We are renting a car in San Diego and driving down. Already have hotel reservations. Thanks!!
My wife and I are thinking for driving our motorcycle there the first of April. We will find a hotel with lock parking before we get there. It is just be two people on one bike. I know there is always some risk when you travel but what I have been reading it does not appear to be unreasonalby risky. Does anyone have any experience with this.
I haven't been in Ensenada for years and was looking forward for lunch at Casamar which I understand has closed. Has any great seafood restaurant replaced it?

I'm thinking of staying in Ensenada for a week this Christmas with my girlfriend. We love to hike and enjoy nature. Opportunities in or near Ensenada?
Hi all, I read the reviews about the best of food in and around Ensenada however, I am a very adventurous eater and want to explore different experiences. Any suggestions?
Are any vaccines required to do a few hours excursion in Ensenada?
I have been invited to Ensenada by friends, but I do not have a passport. Is the passport law enforced to re-enter the US? Will any of my documents like a Driver's License, Birth Certificate or anything like that work?
Hi all,
My friend and I (both in our 20s) are taking a short cruise to finish off our USA trip, we spend one full day ashore in Ensenada on the 22nd Jan 2011. Any tips would be great, it is our only chance to buy some local products if anyone knows of good markets etc. and anything else that is worth seeing or doing. We both enjoy adventurous activities so is it possible to go jet skiing or anything else like that?
We need to travel from Ensenada to Tijuana on a Saturday (Sep 25, 2010). Do buses run late and regularly on Saturdays?
I have gone here 2 times, but it was over 2 years ago. I know it's near a church. Can anyone give a tip of the location of this place, and how to get to it from the port? I am heading on a cruise on the 18th, and wondered if anyone could help me out with this?
I too would like to do the upcoming bike ride but have had no luck through their website finding out out shuttle services from San Diego to either Rosarito or Ensenada. Can someone help me out locating such a company?
I'm racing in the 2009 Newport to Ensenada regatta this month as a crewmember and am having a hard time finding transportation back to LAX from Ensenada. Nobody wants to rent a car for pick-up in Mexico and drop-off at LAX. Greyhound doesn't go to LAX from Ensenada and the only route they have takes 11 hours with a 5 hour layover in Tijuana and drop off some 15 miles from LAX. Haven't been able to locate a puddle jumper flight from ESE to LAX.
Someone please help!
My flight out of LAX back to St. Louis is at 9:40am Monday the 27th.
The sailing race starts Friday the 24th at noon and we should be in Ensenada by late Sat evening. That leaves me with Sunday for travel back to LAX, or a very early flight Monday morning.
Im planning a trip to San Felipe but I will travel to Ensenada first. I'm curious as to whether there's a bus schedule from Ensenada to San Felipe?
Hi! We are planning on doing to Rosarito/Ensenada bike ride and have a few questions for anyone who does this frequently. Where is a good place to stay near the finish line? Is it better to stay in Rosarito or Ensenada? Also, would you recommend driving down or would it be better to get a package deal with a tour company? I have driven to Rosarito many times (never to Ensenada) but some of my friends have me worried about safety right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!!
can you provide driving direction and map to go down from TJ to the hotel Las Rosas in Ensenada, Baja?
How much do golf carts cost to rent?
Has anyone else heard about this new haunted house located in ensenada. they say they are going to be there on october 2008 and i guess the guy that designed it built haunted houses in california. the only information i could find was their website. does anyone know anything else about it?
OK, I've read all of the tips I've seen, but none seem to address my question.
My daughters (17 & 12) and I will be flying in to SAN in mid-July. Our flight doesn't arrive until after 9pm, so we plan to spend the night at a motel. We will be doing some volunteer work in Ensenada, but no one will be available to pick us up. They suggested renting a car and returning it four-five days later when they can go up there, but I don't want the expense and worry of renting a car for that long. I checked with some rental companies, and none do one way rentals into Mexico. I'm fine with taking the bus, but I'm not sure about bringing luggage.
Question 1: A lot of the tips say to take the trolley, then the bus, but would there be room on each for 3 big bags and 3 carry-ons?
Q2: Would it be better to stay at a motel nearer the airport, or nearer the border (remember we're arriving late...)
Q3: Any motel recommendations? We're not looking for a four star experience, just somewhere safe to sleep.
Thanks so much!
Will be living in Punta Banda for two months. Yeah!!! I'm looking for a dance teacher in ensenada--salsa or tango. does anyone have any leads?
I have family renting a place in Ensenada for a couple of months, and hope to drive down to stay for a few days of beach related relaxation in early March.
My initial problem is deciding on a driving route from Albuquerque .... I have three crossings to choose from, but don't know the region well enough anymore to know which has the best roads for my needs ... do I want the toll roads or a normal highway? San Ysidro crossing? or Mexicali?
Any ideas, or online maps resources would be appreciated :)
Oh, and I hope you are all having a marvelous holiday season!
Are the ABC busses from border to Ensenada air conditioned? Do they have washrooms onboard?
How readily available are taxis in Ensenada? Will I be able to hail one passing by, or will it require a phone call? I am considering taking a bus down instead of driving my car from southern California, and was just weighing my options.
Anyone can ask a
travel question.
Destination experts (like you!) provide amazing answers.
Readers "like" answers, and the best float to the top.

If you're a fan of Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code," and you want to lose weight, then you may be interested in "The Diet Code" by Stephen Lanzalotta.
Just as Brown's book discusses Da Vinci's Golden Ratio, Lanzalotta's does too -- and tells you how it can help you shed pounds. Lanzalotta, a baker who lives in Portland, Maine, applies mathematical principles to his cafe menu and shows you how to apply it to your daily eating for optimal health.
Serves 4
I can't say enough good things about this gluten-free, easy to digest, complete protein, ancient American grain. I love it as a breakfast cereal, and my preparation gives it a northern Italian, almost Eastern European, flavor. It also yields an almost perfect Diet Code profile, with 19 grams of protein and 400 calories per serving.
In a saucepan over medium heat, lightly toast (3 minutes to 5 minutes) 8 ounces (1 1/3 cups) Inca red quinoa (my favorite, an heirloom variety) and 2 tablespoons poppy seeds.
Add and bring to a boil over medium-high heat 3 cups water.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer (sobollire) for about 15 minutes, until water is absorbed.
Add 4 to 6 chopped prunes or figs or 1½ ounces (¼ cup) other dried fruit.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, about 10 minutes.
Serve with 1 cup buttermilk, kvass, yogurt or kefir, and good honey to drizzle on top.

The parent company of The Dallas Morning News said it will begin companywide layoffs Monday.
At the end of January, A.H. Belo Corp. said it would lay off 500 employees across all of its properties and take other actions to save cash and cope with falling advertising revenue. The cuts represent about 14 percent of A.H. Belo's work force.
A.H. Belo has not said how many jobs will be cut at The Dallas Morning News. The company also owns The Providence Journal and several smaller newspapers and Web sites.
The company said most of the layoffs will take place Monday and Tuesday.
"Our company continues to face unprecedented economic challenges during this prolonged recession, making this staff reduction a very difficult but necessary decision," said Jim Moroney, publisher and Chief Executive of The Dallas Morning News.
The cuts come after A.H. Belo said last week it will cut some workers' salaries and suspend pension contributions for the year. Full-time employees making more than $25,000 per year will see salary cuts of between 2.5 percent and 15 percent, depending on their base salary. The changes will go into effect around the beginning of May.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann keeps the K-names coming!
Soon after news broke that the Real Housewives of Atlanta star had welcomed her newborn twins on Monday, Nov. 25, the now-mother of six went on Instagram and wrote, "We named our new precious angels" and shared the meanings behind the monikers.
"The twins names are: Girl: Kaia Rose (After 'Psychic' Rose who is like a grandma to me and been a huge part of my life for 13 plus yrs) Also the twins were born on Rose's birthday!" Zolciak explained. "Boy: Kane Ren (Ren After my OBGYN who has delivered 5 of the 6 kiddos, who has also been a big part of my life for 12 yrs and we simply adore him)."
The twin babies are the 35-year-old's third and fourth child with husband Kroy Biermann. They are also parents to sons Kroy Jr., 2, and Kash, 1. Zolciak has two daughters, Brielle, 16, and Ariana, 12, from previous relationships as well.
"We are officially the 'Biermann Bunch' now!" Zolciak wrote in an Instagram caption earlier this morning, adding that they "welcomed a baby girl and a second handsome little boy! They are both healthy and Kroy and I are so thankful!"
Zolciak announced she was pregnant in June and revealed that she was expecting twins in August.

Apple trailing in China's smartphone market, taking third place to Samsung and Lenovo through 2012
Strategy Analytics brought us the news on Sunday that Apple is currently trailing in China's smartphone market, losing out to both Samsung and Lenovo. The data from SA showed that Apple is behind by quite a margin, too, with 11 percent of the market compared to Samsung's 17.6%, and Lenovo's 13.2%.
Two years ago, Samsung sold 10.9 million handsets to Chinese consumers, but just 12 months later and the company has nearly tripled that, with a whopping 30.06 million. But things aren't quite so cheery for Nokia, as the company that – in 2011 – was the king of the Chinese market with a 29.9% share, has dropped to seventh, and a comparably minute 3.7 in 2012.
2012 has been the first time Samsung has claimed the top spot in the Chinese market, while Apple is still working to improve its presence in what is fast becoming the most important region of all for electronics sales. It's this striving on Apple's behalf that sparked the widely argued rumors regarding a low-cost iPhone that have been plaguing the internet for some time now, as a cheaper alternative would be within the grasp of the average Chinese worker. Apple is still yet to introduce its smartphone to China Mobile, the world's largest carrier, so if Tim Cook's recent discussions with CM amount to the iPhone debuting on the network, then perhaps the tables will turn in the not-too distant future.

See that bubble?
It's bursting it is.
Facebook shares hit an all-time low in early trading today as the lock-out period ended for inside investors, freeing them to offload 270 million shares. The lock-out period, when inside investors are forbidden from trading their shares to give a recently public company a headstart, finished today, increasing the available …
It's bursting it is.
The only thing that's bursting are Reg readers' trousers as they rub themselves thinking about FB going bust
Why exactly? I use it everyday, so do alot of people. Nobody wants to go back to myspace.
Seeing the greedy and/or stupid loose vast sums investing in well proven dodgy business places is always amusing tho.
But should FB vanish one day, I'm reasonably sure somebody else would spring up offering exactly the same thing (or even G+, which I think is maybe technically better, but just suffers as everybody else is still using FB).
Contrast this with Google vanishing from the face of the planet one day, and I'd be utterly stuffed.
It is, after all, the reinste Freude.
I wish them no ill will but let's face it apart from the prospect of reaching 1 billion punters with shitty adverts what else did FB really have to offer anyone? FB have been testing a new ad model and there's already a big stink being kicked up about it which will knock the share price again.
FB stock may not be worthless but it's certainly not worth the paper it's printed on!
"FB stock may not be worthless but it's certainly not worth the paper it's printed on!"
Maybe they should have printed it on Andrex?
Firstly, a falling share price has little or no direct effect on a company as along as it is not preparing to raise equity or borrow. It is in no way a disaster even et 50 % of issue price Facebook is to big to be bought and the CEO still holds the majority of shares.
Secondly, $7 - $8 would be fair value in comparison with other US stocks at a 20:1 price-to-earnings ratio. So, much as I don't value the service, there is no need for anyone to worry. Apart, of course, for those who bought shares at over-inflated prices. More fool them.
I'm starting to think that even $7-$8 would be generous. As of the last filing there were 2.14 billion shares with 1.14 billion floated. Their book/share value is $6.22 for the most recent quarter which would indicate $7.50 or so being a fair price at the P/E you state. However, if the number of shares floated went from 1.14 billion to 1.41 billion with another 1.447 billion due to be floated by the end of the year it makes the total number of shares close to 2.86 billion shares and not 2.14 billion. That would put their current book/share value nearer the $4.65 mark and making a fair value closer to $5.50-$5.75 per share. Granted, this doesn't account for any increase in book value which may or may not occur and as a "tech company" price often runs 3x - 4x book/share until every now and then when the traders sober up and a bubble is declared and popped.
"However, the inside investors are usually big boys and girls, who hold their nerve a bit better than private investors. "
However, as inside investors they likely know things we don't about the likely future cashflows of the company and whether people inside are a bit worried hence may like to ditch their holdings whilst still above zero.
I mean, could they not just short their own stock? Sell the stock at $40, make close to $100 billion (estimated up there for simplicity), then when the share price hits $10, buy it all back for $25 billion and pocket the $75 billion for yourself!!! Great lesson in how to print money. :D
If a mistake was made in that example, please say instead of downvoting.
I'll bite. From a layman's perspective, there are two problems:
1) The inside investors have already paid for their stock; that's why they're called investors. You can't short-sell what you've already bought. However, even if you could . . .
2) Regulators probably tend to take a dim view of shorting (or trading of any sort in the stock) by an inside investor due to it being--wait for it--*insider* trading. The minimum penalty would probably be significant fines plus disgorgement of profit; the maximum probably involves Federal PMITA prison.
"If a mistake was made in that example, please say instead of downvoting."
That's not how it works. If you speak out against Apple, MS or FB the shills/fanbois appear and just downvote. Don't expect much in the way of correction or discourse. The shills hold a point of view based on faith, not on facts.
There may be Apple shills, there may be MS shills, there may be all manner of fanbois within and beyond both ends of the visual spectrum, but one thing I've never noticed on the Reg is a FB shill.
I thought that any given Reg reader's view of FB sat somewhere on a continuum between grudging toleration and downright hatred. I've never seen any FB advocacy, but life is full of surprises, I guess...
Even at today's share price, FB is still worth $50b. That's about what Goldman Sachs valued it at in January 2011. Anyone who got in before then could still be making a ton of money, even at $19/share.
What will be interesting is to see if these early investors sell or not. If they're selling, it's because they don't think FB has much more potential, and they want to take their profits and run.
>Anyone who got in before then could still be making a ton of money, even at $19/share.
They've already made their money, now its time for others to cover that windfall.
It is important to have a walled garden where people can share their inspirational thoughts, pictures and mood swings. Otherwise we'd all risk being exposed to that content again, like when we used to get it by email...
In a perfect world they could build a completely parallel network, like they want to do in Iran, so that the individuals that are part of it have no way to interfere with this side of the Internet.
It's quite easy to hit an "All-time low" if your stock hasn't been around enough to have taken "the plunge" before....Shame Facebook's stock looks more like a park slide than a rollercoaster...
Exactly - it's really only ever gown down so it's nearly always at an all time low :)
The passage of time is at an all time high too...
sell useless stock for $fuckloads then laugh when society collapses under the weight of all the different scams youre pulling
there will come a time when it is not just morally ok to kill these people but morally imperative.
He must be nearly bankrupt by now after having to pay 35% of the original price as tax.
(Just saying.)
That may be 87% of those who saw it, but isn't an overall majority so we're going to ignore it
It'll soon be ripe for Microsoft to buy it then watch the users leave by their millions after they 'rebrand' it every five minutes.

You forgot myface.
Then you can invite people to "come on myface".
They'd probably just change the "My Network Places" icon to "My Social Network Places".
Cheers, I needed a giggle.

The value of shares can go down as well as up ... bitch.

Flint Teen Party Flyer of MLK's Face on it Sparks Controversy, Bernice King Reacts
Flint teen party flyer of MLK's face on it sparks controversy and Dr. Bernice King reacts. The flyer was advertising a dance party in Flint titled, 'Freedom 2 Twerk.' After an uproar, the party has been canceled.
The flyer manipulated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s face on another man's body wearing a gold chain and throwing up the hand sign for 'westside.' The party was suppose to take place the Social Network Banquet and Events Center on Corunna Road in Flint on January 18th.
Vic McEwen, owner of The Social Network, didn't know about the flyer until recently and quickly ended the rental agreement with Mid Michigan Teen Parties. The flyer has circulated around the internet and reached Dr. King Jr.'s daughter. McEwen
According to MLive, Dr. Bernice King saw the flyer and was quoted saying the image was, "appalling." Flint's boxer Anthony Dirrell spoke out against the flyer saying,
"This is like, beyond terrible," he said. "If you really knew the history, you wouldn't do something like this."
I truly hope whoever is responsible for this flyer understands they made a grave mistake. You should never associate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a teen dance party promoting twerking. Dr. King Jr. did too much for the world to be placed in the mud with twerking and a teen party.

Happy New Year: Consumer Confidence Tumbles
Two interesting pieces of economic news hit the airwaves this week, and they do not bode well for anyone who hopes for a quick economic rebound. First, the economy actually contracted by .1% in the fourth quarter, reflecting the pressure of looming defense spending cuts by our deficit-laden federal government (Bloomberg). While the sources in the Bloomberg piece twist themselves into pretzels trying to put a positive spin on the statistics, the reality is the same. An overspending government must eventually retrench, and an economy overly dependent on its spending will feel the pain.
The second news item brings this basic fact of life into sharper focus. Consumer confidence dropped sharply in January, reflecting the impact of higher Social Security taxes as the "tax holiday" of 2011 and 2012 came to a close.(USA Today). The tax rate on employee wages rose from 4.2% to 6.2% on January 1. For an employee making $40,000 a year, this represents an annual tax increase of $800- enough to be very noticeable.
It is becoming clearer that policy choices favored by both liberals (spending) and conservatives (tax cuts) can not cure the basic ailment affecting our economy: spending fueled by deficits is not sustainable, while growth prospects are stunted in an economy being strangled by regulation, waste, the looming burden of Obamacare and the unpredictability of the ever-intrusive policy mavens of Washington DC.

R.I.P. Orange Labs Cambridge (2002-2009): A Story of Opportunities Missed
(Page 4 of 4)
perhaps more analytical—they really like to understand where things are going in an elegant and exhaustive way. But we were coming from an organization where we had more of a beta-test mentality."
[The following three paragraphs have been corrected and updated with additional information from sources.] Also in 2003, Orange hired a new CEO, former US West chief executive Sol Trujillo, who brought with him a number of former US West subordinates, including Frank Bowman. In 2004, Bowman was assigned to run Orange Labs. That bought the lab a temporary new lease on life.
"The group kind of had a reboot when Frank came on board, which was just after I left," Rybchin says. "Putting this guy who was a friend of Sol's in charge of this signaled something—doors were instantly opened to Frank that Rich had had to try to beat down. We had laid the foundation and built the network, and Frank kind of took it home with his gravitas and his personal contact with the senior leadership." Bowman had good relationships with executives in France, even after Trujillo left Orange in 2004, which helped the lab get few more of its ideas to the product stage.
But the organization Miner had built still had an uncertain role inside France Telecom. In 2004, the company shut down Orange Ventures and transferred management of its investments to Innovacom, its existing venture capital subsidiary. In the spring of 2005, Miner left Orange to join Andy Rubin, the founder of Danger, who was working on new phone operating system at Android.
After that time, the lab became more and more marginalized inside Orange, according to Karas, who left in 2007 to pursue his interest in energy and environmental issues by starting Cambridge-based Carbonrally, a site where members compete to reduce their carbon footprints. Meanwhile, Orange's sister lab on the West Coast only seems to have strengthened its ties with the mother ship: the co-author of France Telecom CEO Didier Lombard's 2008 book, The Second Life of Networks, is none other than Georges Nahon, the CEO of Orange Labs San Francisco.
Despite the frustrations, though, Karas credits Orange Labs with teaching him a lot about product development. "I wouldn't have been able to do Carbonrally in 2002 [before joining Orange]—I wouldn't have had the confidence," he says. But having watched a lot of products developed quickly—even though some never made it to market—prepared him for the challenges of running a Web 2.0-style startup. "We're using the same beta-test mentality, and working in that agile way and building on feedback and getting to market as quickly as possible."
But at this point, almost eight years after Orange Lab's founding and six years after Miner's depature, closing the lab down and letting its employees move on may actually be the decent thing to do, Karas says. "It was getting more and more difficult for that lab to have an impact, and that just gets frustrating for people who are really inspired and motivated," he says. "In some ways it's a suitable time for France Telecom to scale it down and for those folks to apply some of their wonderful energy somewhere else."

Entry #72
Updated post on the collab: There's a lot of people coming up with their sheep! Sjiht, for example, is keeping updates on his progress in his userpage!
DEADLINE: November 2nd
Here's the BBS thread ----> JOIN!
Gist of it: We make our own sheep jumping the fence, and put them all together in a video with music, or a game, or an app. We will have the most beautiful compilation of sheeps on the internet. The viewer's role is obviously to count them until they get sleepy. Our role is to animate them until we DIE.
Seriously though, this is a great chance to freshen up your animation skills: walking cycles, anticipation, all that jazz, and to have fun!
- Make a sheep, or a something in sheep costume, or something that resembles a sheep, and creatively move it from one side of the provided stage to the other.
- the (provided) background, you can download it down here in RESOURCES.
- If you use a program other than flash (you are more than welcome to do so) just export the animation of the sheep itself, without the provided stage/background, with a transparent background. Screen ratio is 16:9, framerate is 24fps.
- UPLOAD the .fla file to Dumping Grounds (give it a name like "YourUsername_Sheep.FLA") and send it over PM to me!
- Gravity points down.
- Sheep can come in more than one piece, and in solid, liquid and gaseous forms.
- Sheep can be bipedal.
- No change of shots or zoom in or any camera movements. You can add something like a thought bubble or a tooltip (like Smash Bros) if you want to show off-screen characters or dreams or whatever sheep have going on in their minds.
- If you use props (like a wheelchair) clean up after yourself! Take them off the stage one way or another, or talk to a friend and they can take them out of the stage in their piece :)
- Name your elements "USERNAME_nameofthing" and put them inside a folder in the flash library.
- SOUND isnt necessary; if there is none in your animation, it will be dealt with in a later date. BUT if you can throw in a cool jumping and landing sound, it would definitely spice things up.
4-leg walk cycle reference.
CS4 version of the stage/background.
In case you dont have Flash, here's the image of the stage/background.
For inspiration/reference, here's a sheep I did. I'll figure out a way to clean up. Promise.
Let your creative juices flow!

Village Board rejects liquor ordinance amendment
A debate on liquor licenses was the main topic of discussion for the Ellsworth Village Board Monday night.
Hans McCarthy, Team Leader for Pamida, came before the board with a request for a "Class A" Liquor/Beer license. He told the board Pamida's plans were to sell off-sale beer and wine, with no hard liquor.
As a result, he further requested the board amend local ordinance, which calls for a limit of one license per every 2,000 people in the village. McCarthy's request passed the Health, License and Welfare committee last month and he was seeking full board approval Monday.
At least one person voiced their displeasure to the board about the ordinance request.
"There's not enough people in this population to support two liquor stores," said Brad Marx, owner of Brad's Corner Liquor, who has the one license in the village. "I counted on this license not changing when I opened the business and, if it does, I won't be in business anymore."
McCarthy explained all of Pamida's stores sell beer and wine, and they're in the process of discontinuing hard liquor. If his approval was granted, he figured the retail space would be about 12 feet. To dispute the lack of people in the area, McCarthy said that, within a three mile radius of Ellsworth, there are 6,000 people.
Joanie Forss, owner of Snowball's Bar, worried about a precedent if the approval was granted. Village President Gerald DeWolfe stated that, if it was approved, Ellsworth could very well have 10 liquor stores.
Trustee David Deiss was torn, as he stated he didn't like the fact the village could only hand out one license, but felt it shouldn't be unlimited.
"If a feed mill, gas station or even if Wal-Mart comes in, we'd let them do it," he said. "I'm struggling with the protection for one business."

AMD group VP resigns at critical time for Athlon MPU
Post a comment
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. here announced the resignation of the vice president for its Computation Products Group, which handles AMD's microprocessor products. No details were given about the move, except that AMD said Larry Hollatz resigned to pursue other interests.
AMD president Hector de J. Ruiz will serve as the acting head of the group until a successor for Hollatz is named, said the company. An AMD spokesman refused to discuss the resignation, and he said Hollatz was not granting interviews or making comments to the press.
Hollatz's sudden departure leaves raises questions at a time when AMD appeared to be gaining momentum in PC microprocessor sales. The Sunnyvale company this week announced that more than 10 PC makers will offer systems based on its 1.1-GHz Athlon processor, while rival Intel Corp. admitted it was recalling 1.13-GHz Pentium III chips after discovering a glitch (see Aug. 28 story).
Hollatz became the head of AMD's Computation Product Group in 1998 and was responsible for the ramp of Athlon processors into volume production. He also managed Athlon's development when he served as head of AMD's Texas microprocessor unit in Austin. Hollatz joined AMD in 1991 from NCR Corp.
An AMD spokesman said the resignation would have no impact on the firm's Athlon production plans and the introduction of new higher performance versions in the next six months.

Reviews forSloppy Joe Supper
My Review
Average Rating
"I wasn't really sure what to expect out of this recipe but it was actually very tasty. I did about a half tsp of salt instead of one tsp and I did the half tsp of pepper but next time I would definetly do like a quarter tsp but everything else I would keep the same!"
"Loved this. I, too, omitted the egg substitue (a littel pricey to purchase) and used one egg. I have a new slow cooker/crock pot and found this cooked way quicker than the recipe indicates."
"Great that it's so easy to make. 1 egg works fine instead of the fake stuff.~ Theresa"
"Haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like it might be good to omit the potatoes and put it over some short pasta, like penne. Has anyone tried to do that?"
"Haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like it might be good to omit the potatoes and put it over some short pasta, like penne. Has anyone tried to do that?"
"This recipe needs to have the salt taken out of it. The sloppy jo sauce makes it plenty salty."
"I cooked the beef and mixed up the hash browns last night; refrigerated them; put them together in the slow cooker this morning. My family really liked it! I used the Bold Manwich (for a little extra flavor). I don't know why there was egg substitute in the recipe, forgot to buy some, so just whisked a whole egg and mixed it in. easy, tasty recipe. When my daughter ate hers, she threw some shredded cheddar and French's french fried onions on top; she said that rocked!"
"We liked this recipe too. I'll probably try it over a baked potato also."
"This is one of my favorite recipes. I have used regular eggs without any problems. In the faster cookers we have now, you don't want to be gone too long as the meat will start to burn. The flavor is great."
"jenniferneufeldt: I totally agree. I now find myself browsing recipes less and less because of reviews that complain about ingredients, methods, or nutritional content.I dont understand why they look at all either.Some people just have to complain.I just wonder if most know how foolish they sound. I will take nutritional advice and opinion of a nutritionist over someone on a recipe rate and review board!"

Dennis Rodman Becomes Pro-Nork Bar Loudmouth, Gets Himself Kicked Out
Praising a bellicose dictator whose family has starved 3.5 million of his own people turns out not to make you popular in bars. Who knew?
Dennis Rodman, just back from visiting Kim Jong Un, was escorted out of the Time Hotel in Midtown on Sunday after spending hours at the restaurant bar loudly telling anyone who would listen what a great guy the North Korean dictator is.
"He was at the bar at Serafina for three hours," says a spy. "He kept saying what a nice guy Kim is, and how Kim just wants to talk to President Obama about basketball. He was waving around a signed copy of the dictator's huge manifesto, telling everyone they should read it."
Added the witness, "Dennis was making a total jerk of himself. He wouldn't leave, and he wouldn't let anyone talk to him about shutting up, or what an oppressive country North Korea is. Eventually he had to leave the bar because the bartender was starting to get [bleep]ed-off."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Five Riverside county cities are cracking down on illegal immigrants as their unemployment rates soar.
Last month, Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Menifee and Norco began requiring businesses to check the immigration status of new workers through the federal E-Verify database. Employers that don't can lose their business licenses.
Murrieta plumber Pablo Haro approves of the crackdown. He tells the Los Angeles Times that the construction crash has hurt the job market and it's hard to compete with illegal immigrants who will work for tiny wages.
However, nearby cities have chosen not to adopt such ordinances and some analysts contend that the laws are inspired more by the towns' political conservatism than their job situations.
Critics, meanwhile, say the law will just prompt employers to pay workers under the table.

Brian and Kimberly Wilhite and their sons, Ben, Graham and Silas, will be guests at Bethany Baptist Church this weekend. Brian will be speaking at the Father/Son Breakfast, Saturday morning, in the Sunday school, and at the 1:00 PM Sunday afternoon service. Brian has a tremendous testimony that will encourage the hearts of Christians and give hope to those who need to be saved. There will be lunch in the fellowship hall at noon.
Tom and Rosa Balzamo and their sons, Timothy and Sean, were with us this last Sunday. Tom taught the Adult Sunday school class and Rosa taught the Teen Girls. Their testimonies were interesting and inspiring. He comes from the urban areas of New Jersey just outside New York City. She comes from an Old Order Amish Family in Missouri. Their desire is to plant a church in New England, where so many have been "educated" away from a simple faith in the gospel.
Tom brought a message on the motivation for reaching out to lost souls. II Kings 7 tells the story of how the Syrians had laid a long siege against Samaria. Inside the walls people were starving. Outside the walls the lepers were also starving. One evening they looked at each other and agreed that they would go over to the camp of the Syrians to beg. "Why sit we here until we die?" When they got to the edge of the camp, they saw that it had been abandoned. The Lord had made the Syrians to hear a great noise so great that the battle hardened Syrian soldiers fled leaving their food uneaten and their goods strung out on the ground. The lepers ate until they were full and began carrying off much spoil until their conscience smote them. "We do not well…" Inside the walls people were starving and out here was plenty of food. They went to the gate and told the guards what they had seen and even though they doubted it, they went to see, and found all the food and spoil left behind.
When Christians realize that they have a marvelous treasure in salvation, it is their duty to tell the lost who will perish without it. "We do not well" if we do not share it.
Speaking of sharing, Adrain Owen has been bringing in some early garden produce, lettuce and spinach that he was been sharing with folks at church. He and his son, Jim, have got corn up knee high and altogether a great garden. Whenever any one of us gets a surplus of garden produce we bring it in to share.
With all the rain, Dan Stillings has been kept busy just keeping the grass mowed at church. The lawn down front really looks nice. When it quits raining work will continue on the siding and trims at the church. There is a lot of work to keeping a building and lawn in good shape.

Spy Kids 2: The Island of
Lost Dreams (Dimension
Offical Website: http://www.spykids2.com/
Directed & Written by: Robert
Picking up where the predecessor film left off, Spy Kids 2 features the Latino-American Cortez family all firmly involved in the espionage business with the 2 protagonist children, 13 year old Carmen (Alexa Vega) and 10 year old Juni (Daryl Sabara) new members of the just-created junior division of the government's OSS secret agent organization to which their parents Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) and Ingrid (Carla Gugino) belong. A freshly-instituted, burgeoning, worldwide program recruiting and training young spies means competition and increasing desire for more responsibility and bigger missions in store for Carmen and Juni while the parents worry they may no longer be needed.
Sure enough, the Cortez kids face rivals, the Giggles siblings: teenage go-getter Gary (Matt O'Leary), on whom Carmen has a secret crush; and sassy, young Gerti (Emily Osment, Haley Joel's younger sister). Flaunting the newest gear and the trendiest outfits, the Giggles kids' one-upmanship no doubt being possible thanks to their Dad Donnegan's (Mike Judge) parallel rivalry with Gregorio Cortez in the adult department of the OSS.
Spy Kids 2 opens in a humorous parody of an amusement park (sharing name and logo with Rodriguez's production company Troublemaker, Inc.) where the very Texan proprietor Dinky Winks (Bill Paxton) delights in showing off his diabolically designed rides (The Vomiter, The Whippersnapper, The Juggler and more) to the President's (Christopher McDonald) daughter Alexandria (Taylor Momsen). Upset that her Dad doesn't have enough time for her, Alexandra, to attract attention to herself, has lifted the supersecret "Transmooker" Device from his office, unconcerned that the highly coveted, powerful object might fall into the erstwhile "wrong hands", dooming the world. When the wayward Alexandra, threatening to set the thing in question off, gets calmed down by the quartet of spy kids we know, the consequences of the President's offspring's actions starts a concatenation of events that leads to the Transmooker being stolen and then traced to the eponymous, tropical Island of Lost Dreams.
This locale, a sly, satirical nod to the abode and story of a certain Dr. Moreau from H.G. Well's classic novel and its cinematic adaptations, has one sole human inhabitant, Dr. Romero (Steve Buscemi), pleasing in the role of a gently demented (not a real villain) genetic scientist, creator of all kinds of imaginative and wondrous creatures many of which are embodiments of puns (the spidermonkey, the catfish, the slizzards, the horsefly, the delightful spork - a flying pig with sparrowlike wings, and many more). Here the connection between Donnegan's strange behavior; the Transmooker and its real function; the Island and its eccentric denizens comes clear after much comical excitement and derring do.
Along the way the audience gets treated to cameos by first-film veterans Fegan Floop (Alan Cumming), Alexander Minion (Tony Shaloub), Machete (Danny Trejo) and Uncle Felix Gumm (Cheech Marin), and introduced to new characters, most notably Ingrid Cortez's parents portrayed by Holland Taylor and the ever elegant and charismatic Ricardo Montalban. The viewers also get real enjoyment from the excellent, intentional, fond homages to classic fantasy filmmaker Ray Harryhausen in scenes involving the imposing centaur-like spidermonkey and an equally formidable slizzard. In addition, a crew of animated skeletons, some of which duel with Juni Cortez in a Jason and the Argonauts pastiche, offer that and more original, interesting antics. Clever references to Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park can also be spotted. Rodriguez manages to painlessly include his edifying subtexts celebrating the centrality of family togetherness; the way simple things like a rubber band can be more helpful than the latest nanotechnology; and the importance of maintaining a sharp mind and keeping your wits about you in the face of unreliable devices - and even waxes philosophical when Dr. Romero, hiding from the monsters he made, ponders, "Do you think God stays in heaven because he's afraid of what he has created?"
Spy Kids 2, while maintaining much of the wit and charm of its predecessor, disappoints a bit by being so crammed with new characters, new gizmos galore and frantic-pacing, the delightful grandparent and parent spy couples get not nearly enough screen time; ditto for Machete, Uncle Felix and Fegan Floop. Rodriguez's fecund imagination piles on so many gadgets and cuts so quickly from scene to scene that the engaging characters frequently get overwhelmed. Despite this, the movie possesses many virtues besides the ones already mentioned: dazzling SPFX that recapture the odd appeal of good, old-fashioned, laborious, stop-motion animation; snazzy costumes; lovely music; that refreshingly pervasive Latin flavor; great scenes and outtakes during the end credits; and ingeniously funny concepts for many of the innumerable thingamabobs (especially Ralph the robot-like AI miniature bugging device and all-purpose personal helper shaped like a large beetle). This sequel film does not fail to continue the respect for young ones Rodriguez demonstrates by his earnest yet light-hearted depiction of the universal fantasy all children have - to be powerful and cool like the Spy Kids - saving the world with competence equal to if not better than the grown-ups. Flaws aside, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams can give Austin Powers and James Bond a run for their money while many of us just might find some of our dreams there, waiting to enchant and thrill and simultaneously tickle the funny bone.
