Top 10 Movie Moments of 2003
With the nearest cinema more than half an hour from my house, I have to really want to see a movie to make the journey. Who wants to add the waste of gas and good hour or so on the road to the money already spent on tickets and popcorn? My limited time at the movies, though, means I enjoy the experience more than if I took it for granted.
With the nearest cinema more than half an hour from my house, I have to really want to see a movie to make the journey. Who wants to add the waste of gas and good hour or so on the road to the money already spent on tickets and popcorn? My limited time at the movies, though, means I enjoy the experience more than if I took it for granted.
Of the 22 movies I went the distance to see this year, I only hated The Life of David Gale, Freddy Vs. Jason, and The Matrix Reloaded, so it's been a good year.
Listed below are my favorite cinema moments of 2003.
1. "Why are you sitting in my chair?" in The Eye (Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang)
The Pang brothers' film makes you jump, scream, and forget to breathe. It follows Mun (Angelica Lee, also credited as Lee Sin-je) who, after a corneal transplant, discovers her new eyes allow her to see the dead. Beautifully shot and eerily atmospheric (thanks, in part, to the Orange Music score), the movie makes worn out horror movie conventions scary again. After losing it when Sadako emerged from the TV set in Ringu, I thought nothing could frighten more, until Mun's calligraphy lesson.
2. Ray Liotta's bullet hole in Identity (James Mangold)
We're immediately suspicious of the strangers stranded at a roadside motel in Identity, but when it's revealed that Officer Rhodes (super-hot Ray Liotta), arguably the film's moral centre, may be hiding the biggest secret of all, we're forced to re-evaluate everything. James Mangold's film takes you where you're sure you should go, then serves up twist after shocking twist, right up until the end, when it throws a final curveball right at your head.
3. Jessica Biel in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Marcus Nispel)
It's impossible to pick a moment when Jessica Biel is best here, because she gives all she's got throughout. She also retains her dignity, an increasingly difficult feat for skimpily dressed chicks running and jumping through slash-'em-ups. She combines "girl power" smartness with raw sexuality, echoing Marilyn Burns in Tobe Hooper's original movie. Not half as bad as it's made out to be, the movie also wins points for genuine thrills (R. Lee Ermey frightening the hell out of poor Jonathan Tucker in the back of the van springs to mind) and for its well-developed (and well acted) young victims.
4. Swamp walk in Freddy vs. Jason (Ronny Yu)
The second worst movie of the year shoves everything bad from the 17 previous movies featuring its titular heroes into its own 97-minute plot-hole. It rewrites the legendary histories of Freddy (Robert Englund) and Jason (played this time by Ken Kirzinger), resulting in serial problems. Jason's mother becomes a shrew rather than the compassionate (albeit homicidal) woman from the original Friday the 13th; Freddy rejuvenates lopped off body parts (in the real world, no less!) but can't repair his famously burned skin; and Zack Ward is criminally underused. A shot of Jason carrying a victim through a smoky swamp effectively symbolizes his loneliness, rather like how I felt in the theatre watching his story being butchered.
5. Rockin' out with Jack Black in The School of Rock (Richard Linklater)
It's hard to pick a favourite moment in The School of Rock, since Jack Black appears in almost every frame. I might go with his homework assignments to kickstart the rockin' careers of his students -- a bit of Blondie, some Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, and Rush. You knew then, the kids would never be the same.
6. Here come the Vichy in Midnight Mass (Tony Mandile)
The world is taken over by vampires and it's up to fallen priest Father Joe (Douglas Gibson) and his precocious sidekick, Gwen (Pamela Karp), to save the day in Tony Mandile's adaptation of F. Paul Wilson's short story. They endure a few nights of terror courtesy of the Vichy, human aides to the destructive vamps. Mandile and cinematographer Thomas Agnello pull off one of the most beautiful movie moments this year with their love letter to Asbury Park, a series of shots of the famed boardwalk, dark and deserted. It's here we're introduced to the four-strong Vichy clan, dominated by Vichy #1 (St James).
7. Dating Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday (Mark S. Waters)
As a controlling mum who spends a day in the Converse crosstrainers of her teenaged daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis is quite possibly the year's most inspired casting, even if she was the director's back-up choice. The highlight comes when, playing the daughter trapped in her body, she spends an afternoon with the love of her (daughter's) life, Jake (Chad Michael Murray). Sharing a shake and discussing music while gazing into each other's eyes, Jamie Lee flirts with teenage Murray so effortlessly, you'd think she'd never left the 10th grade.
8. Behind the door in Spider (David Cronenberg)
Cronenberg's CV is full of hits and misses: I love The Dead Zone and The Fly, but could care less about Videodrome and Scanners. I was sufficiently creeped out by Spider, while at the same time drawn to the characters inhabiting Spider's (and Cronenberg's) skewed reality and childhood flashbacks. As Spider, understated Ralph Fiennes gives what may be the performance of the year, without really uttering a word.
9. Ashley's movie life in Spellbound (Jeffrey Blitz)
While skittish Harry Altman seems to be everybody's favourite spelling bee contestant, his wide grin and robotic affect sadly overshadow some the film's other stars. The most memorable for me being Ashley White, competing in her first National Bee. Living in a tiny apartment with her proud mum in Washington, D.C., she represents the film's most intriguing message: there are kids out there who still have big dreams, the kind that can be fulfilled with patience and a lot of study. Ashley's sharp self-awareness and optimism are summed up when she skip-walks through her neighbourhood and compares her life to a movie: "I go through all these trials and tribulations, but I always overcome 'em."
10. Matt Dillon playing Bogart in City of Ghosts (Matt Dillon)
Matt Dillon's directorial debut concerns a renegade conman hiding in Cambodia when a scam turns sour. Starring as well, Dillon proves himself more than capable of double duty, bringing to life Phnom Penh's streets, with an eye for detail.

DNS problem.
Hi everybody,
I discovered the following problem:
When my slackbox boots up, it has the wrong nameserver setup.
I tried Slackware 11 (2.6.18) on VMWARE with two virtual ethernet cards, the first one is NAT, the second is Host-only.
Both are configured to use DHCP in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf.
After startup, only the ip address of the second network card's (Host-only) gateway/dns is entered in /etc/resolv.conf automatically,
so i cant resolve internet names like www.google.com.
On other Linux Distributions my /etc/resolv.conf has several nameservers, depending on how many netcards i use.
My current workaround is to override the /etc/resolv.conf manually with the help of the rc.local script uppon boot by overriding it with the gateway/dns of the NAT's networkcard (the one which can connect to internet).
This is really not the "clean" way and im searching for a solution for this issue.
I am happy for every tipp and suggestion one will give me to solve this issue.
Thank you in advance and with kind regards,
lfhelper. :)
I think that dhcpcd replaces, not updates, /etc/resolv.conf when it obtains an IP address. Maybe use the -R option on the second card to stop that behaviour.

Matt Hardy Talks Extreme Rising iPPV, Did WWE Brass Not Want ECW Guys to Succeed, And More
– Here are some highlights from Matt Hardy's interview with IYH Wrestling Radio. Hardy was on to promote the upcoming Extreme Rising show on Saturday, November 17 at the Golden Dome in Monaca, PA and will be available on iPPV. Hardy's scheduled to wrestle Shane Douglas in the main event:
Was Hardy unsure of how fans would take to him at his first Extreme Rising show last June: "No, I was pretty sure and I think I pretty much had it to a T. I'm pretty good at being on the pulse of how wrestling fans are going to be. I knew it was going to be a very mixed bag, because wherever I go there's going to be diehard Matt Hardy/Hardy Boyz fans, which are younger kids or people that followed us through our WWE career; they're going to be there and they're going to be supportive regardless of whatever. But then the diehard ECW and extreme-niche fans, because I'm not an extreme original or an ECW original, I knew those people it was going to be an uphill battle. And you know, it's one of those things in time only you earn their respect, especially when you walk into their promotion and on your debut match you're in the main event against Jerry Lynn, who is one of the ECW icons. I knew it was going to be a mixed bag for sure. The people that were diehard extreme wrestling fans, they gave me a hard time, which was great. And my fans were there cheering, so it's OK. As long as I'm invoking emotion from people, it's fine. I'll channel it in the appropriate way in the ring. As long as they're entertained and I'm invoking emotion, I'm good."
Were there people that didn't want ECW guys to succeed when they came over to the WWE: "I think so…The thing that made ECW so good – Paul Heyman was such a genius booker/promoter because he highlighted everyone's strengths. I mean, he would take whatever the best qualities were about someone and he would keep pushing that, pushing that, and pushing that and get everything they could out of it, and that's what gets characters over. That's what gets characters or wrestlers to connect with the crowd emotionally. Public Enemy, they had their deal; they were hip-hop gangstas and they did the hand motion and they would put people through tables, and they ended up being a huge act. When they came to the WWE and were forced to wrestle a couple matches; I know there were some guys who didn't like them. They ultimately had a match with the Acolytes which was very very ugly. Taz was another guy who was over huge in ECW. Once he came to WWE, you can see that never translated. Once again, they took away from playing to his strengths and what his character was built around. And the examples keep popping up over and over if you look at Paul Heyman's ECW originally. Sandman, he came out and he would drink beer and he would cane people, and he was over like crazy and people bought tickets to see him. 911 was another example of a guy who was very limited as far as being a complete wrestler overall but he became a huge star there; he was really over…At WWE sometimes they expect people to be a more well-rounded performer 360 degrees and be able to do everything, and my thought is if it's business and you're trying to make money you want your acts to be as over as they possibly can be. And if that means like protecting them in some areas that they're weak at, then why not do it because it's your investment in the first place. But that's not always how the WWE crew thinks."

Super Bowl Memories
February is a month that brings with it certain rituals.
These include Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day and, thanks to the expanded National Football League schedule, Super Bowl Sunday.
We are now on Super Bowl 44 (I see no reason for the use of Roman Numerals, especially with sporting events), and all of those games have taken place during my lifetime.
Yet, when I reflect on memories of Super Bowls past, I can't seem to conjure more than a casual recollection for most of them.
The primary reason for this is that I am a New York Jets fan, and when your favorite team makes it once in four decades, Super Bowl Sunday is an exercise in watching other fans' teams battle it out for the Big Prize.
Unless your team is playing or you are attending a party that day, you are viewing the Super Bowl because it's your patriotic duty to watch football on this day. If you are a Patriots fan, you have no excuse this year.
My favorite Super Bowl is SB3, the Joe Namath Guarantee game over the Colts. From an historical point of view, that game shaped the way professional football is today, since it gave the upstart American Football League a stunning upset over the old establishment NFL.
On a personal level, however, I was just eight years old when that game took place, so I never saw it in real time. Sometimes, I think it's a figment of somebody's imagination, like the Heidi game.
Fortunately, through the magic of NFL Films, I have been able to see highlights of the Day The Jets Were Super.
The first Super Bowl I can actually remember watching was SB4. I watched it at my grandparents' house. I, the Nine-Year Old Football Expert, was convinced there was no way the superior Minnesota Vikings would lose to the Kansas City Chiefs. My grandfather made a bet with me and took the Chiefs, then watched me fume as Len Dawson and company prevailed over the Purple People Eaters.
The lesson I learned that day? Never take the Vikings to win a Super Bowl.
Actually, wagering is a huge part of the Super Bowl experience, whether you are participating in your office pool or betting on more esoteric items such as which team will win the coin toss or who will score the first touchdown. In any regard, millions of dollars will be changing hands Sunday after the Indianapolis Colts face the New Orleans Saints, probably enough to jump start the economy faster than any stimulus money.
What I remember most about Super Bowls past are great plays, such as Lynn Swann's diving catch, John Riggins' TD ramble, Joe Montana's two-minute drill, David Tyree's juggling reception and Santonio Holmes' shoestring snag, as well as some not so great plays, like Garo Yepremian's attempted pass and Scott Norwood's missed field goal.
As a Jets' fan, my heart is with the Saints, since this is their first-ever Super Bowl, and I can understand that kind of pain and frustration. It's the fourth time for the Colts. I also have a brother who lives north of New Orleans, so the Saints are my vicarious rooting interest Sunday.
The Colts are coached by rookie head coach Jim Caldwell, a one-time assistant at Penn State under Joe Paterno. They also have Peyton Manning, who when he's not lick-racing Oreo cookies against Donald Trump is as good a quarterback as there is today, although Drew Brees is no slouch himself.
Peyton's dad Archie was a long-time Saints QB, so there's the irony factor as well if Peyton leads the Colts to victory, which I think will happen.
Chances are, most of the talk at the office the next day will be about the commercials, as usual.

Bruno Mars Brings the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival House Down [VIDEO]
There's a reason why Bruno Mars is headlining the Super Bowl Halftime show this year: He can entertain the masses almost effortlessly. The 'Unorthodox Jukebox' crooner nailed his performance at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival and proved that he's more than a worthwhile performer — he's well on his way to a legend.
Mars began with his uptempo hits from his sophomore record, 'Locked Out of Heaven' and 'Treasure,' to get fans in partying, cheery mood — and boy, did the man succeed. However, he slowed it down immediately, following with a heartfelt rendition of 'When I Was Your Man.' It was so well done that you could actually hear the crowd whistling at him … and a lot of ladies were probably weeping, too.
The forever fedora-sporting Mars channeled the legendary James Brown for 'Runaway Baby,' which featured every imaginable bell and whistle (though he's so talented, he doesn't need much help).
Mars closed with an extended, eclectic rendition of the super-sexual single 'Gorilla,' which slowed down, sped up, got harder, slower — you get the idea. We see what he did there!

ADB's Rajat M. Nag Examines Asia's Inequality, Challenges to Stability
December 5, 2012
Last week, ADB Managing Director General Rajat M. Nag appeared in a candid conversation with Asia Foundation President David Arnold at the World Affairs Council in San Francisco. The two discussed Asia's rapid growth, the widening gap between rich and poor, and challenges to the region's stability. Below are highlights from Mr. Nag's remarks.
Inequality in Asia
Asia has gone through a phenomenal transformation in the last four decades. Asia has managed to achieve in one generation – 40 years – what has taken other parts of the world 100 or even 200 years. This tremendous growth has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, and led many to call the 21st century the "Asian Century."
Asians today are richer, healthier, more educated, and live longer, and this is great success story. But what this story hides at the same time is the fact that the rising tide of Asia's economic growth has not lifted all boats because that growth story is based on the assumption that all boats will rise with the rising tide. But if there is a hole in the hull of a boat, then those boats won't rise. This has resulted in a situation in Asia where 600 million people are still without access to clean water, 1.8 billion are without access to improved sanitation. This is an Asia that is as real as the bright one. These two faces of Asia are both real, but unfortunately, diverging.
One should argue that rising inequality is a social justice issue. Inequality is an unacceptable state of human affairs. But there is also an economic reason to worry about inequality as it dampens the growth process. Therefore, Asia cannot grow and then worry about inequality; growth has to be inclusive. People must be able to participate in and benefit from that growth process. We need to increase access to opportunity through investments in health and education. People have to be well enough, healthy enough, skilled enough, and educated enough to participate in the process. The governments of Asia have a choice: you have to pursue growth, but it has to be inclusive growth.
Green Growth
Asia, like many other places, has followed a paradigm of "grow now, clean later." That is unsustainable, and Asia is already paying the price for it: since 1990, Asia's share in worldwide CO2 emissions has more than doubled. Without aggressive efforts toward low carbon growth, this share will rise to nearly half the global level by 2030. China is now the largest greenhouse gas emitter, India is following suit. In a situation like this, the environmentally unsustainable path that we are following will essentially and ultimately compromise growth itself.
The alternative to green growth is not just less growth. Instead, the alternative is probably going to be catastrophic, and could result in some dramatically damaging consequences. The longer we wait to adopt green growth as the preferred paradigm, the higher the costs of clean up will be. The choice that Asia has today is not to reduce growth, but to grow green. Neither the developing countries nor the developed countries by themselves can solve the problem.
In the next 40 years, the urban population in Asia will almost double from 1.6 billion to 3.1 billion. Our cities will become the epicenter of economic life, higher education, innovation, and technology development. But these cities will put huge demands on services and governments, and will obviously be major sources of energy consumption. Urbanization will also lead to increasing environmental risks associated with natural disasters. The rural to urban migration is ongoing; China became more urban than rural in 2011, and this trend is apparent and obvious throughout. Asia will need to adopt a new approach toward urban development by building more compact and eco-friendly resilient cities and making sure that governance structures are able to cope.
Good Governance
Good governance is more than just eliminating corruption. Good governance is about institutions, it's about accountability, it's about making sure that there are rules and regulations, and most importantly, that they are applied.
Let me mention two words in Sanskrit: the first word is niti, and the second is nyaya. Both words in Sanskrit roughly mean "justice." But there is a very important, nuanced difference. Niti refers to rules and regulations. Nyaya refers to realized justice. It recognizes the role of niti in shaping rules and regulations, but also recognizes the reality in its application. You can have all the niti in the world, but if you don't have nyaya, then you don't have good governance. In Asia over the last several decades, we have gone some distance in getting the niti in place. What we also need to have is nyaya. We can't have only courts, but we must have courts that can dispense justice rapidly and of course fairly.

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla: Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament Night 1 – 5.17.08
Pro Wrestling Guerrilla: Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament Night 1 – Saturday, May 17, 2008, Bell Time: 8:35
Approx. Attn: 250 – 300
1. Hook Bomberry Defeats NEMESIS, Pinfall via Michinoku Driver
– Standard opening match. Kind of wandered at times but got a decent amount of time. Hook won after a swinging neckbreaker into a Michinoku Driver that landed NEMESIS awkwardly on the side of his head. *1/2
2. Los Luchas (Phoenix Star & Zokre) Defeats 2.0 (Jagged and Shane Matthews), Pinfall via Double Team Fireman's Carry Double Knee Gutbuster
– Match started out well with 2.0 and Shane Matthews in particular being very entertaining and the Luchas countering by out wrestling them in the early going. Towards the last 2 minutes the match began to fall apart and get pretty sloppy. Perhaps due to miscommunications or unfamiliarity of both teams. End came when Matthews was thrown out of the ring after a double team second rope Blockbuster to a double knee backbreaker and Jagged got hit with the surfboard to reverse Angle slam into a double knee gutbuster. Yes, it was a complicated sequence. The 2 minutes prior to the end of the match dragged down the rest a bit. **1/2
3. TJ Perkins w/ Hook Bomberry Defeats Candice LaRae, Pinfall via Frog Splash
– TJ and Hook came out to cut a promo about how TJ was screwed out of a high profile match because of a certain "prima dona" having a problem in the back and threatened to sit in the ring until he got a match that night. TJ has gone full evil emo. Candice LaRae came out and the match was official. Brawling match-up from both wrestlers and Candice got a surprising amount of offense and a couple very close near falls. End of the match came after Candice missed her top rope moonsault and TJ hit a frog splash for the pin. These two had very good chemistry since they do train together in EWF. **1/2
4. Roderick Strong & Jack Evans Defeats Scorpio Sky & Ronin, Pinfall via Skipping a Generation
– Good match, but by far the shortest of all the first round match-ups. Surprisingly back and forth match as Jack and Scorpio seemed to work a majority of the match. Finish came on a "Skipping a Generation" onto Ronin. ***
Excalibur calls out Human Tornado to address the fans. Human Tornado comes out and after the beginning of a heartfelt explanation about his injury…announces he's keeping the title and slowly walks out with no one chasing him. He escapes. On crutches. Very slowly. By the time Excalibur figured it out Tornado was gone.
5. El Blazer & KAGETORA Defeats "The Dynasty" Joey Ryan & Scott Lost, Pinfall via Springboard Hurricanrana Driver
– Match began very slowly and very sloppily as it seemed that the teams were having communication problems figuring out what they were trying to do. El Blazer in particular was having problems working with the American wrestlers. The middle of the match finally picked up after a long "heat sequence" on El Blazer and KAGETORA got the hot tag and cleaned house. The middle and particularly the end really came together after the match essentially became a "spotfest". End came after El Blazer hit the tight rope walking drop kick on Lost into a springboard Hurricanrana that dropped lost on his head for the pin. ***
6. Austin Aries Defeats Jay Briscoe, Submission via Horns of Aries.
– No real explanation was needed as both men are familiar with each other. The match was heated and intense. Jay Briscoe was busted open twice during the match, both from MMA knees from Aries. Well paced match that built as it went along with Aries concentrating on getting the submission victory and Jay concentrated on the Jay Driller. Easily the best match of the night by far. ****1/4
7. Kevin Steen & El Generico Defeats Super Dragon & Davey Richards, pinfall via Package Piledriver and Brainbustaaah combo
– Match began as a full on brawl all over the gym as chairs were used liberally before the bell even rang. Absolute mayhem to start the match. The pacing slowed down once the match got started and the men actually got into the ring. There was some light comedy during the match as well and the contest became extremely competitive as both El Generico and Davey Richards were targeted. Towards the end of the match it appeared that either Super Dragon was "blown up" or was possibly injured. During a few double team moves it appeared that Dragon may have suffered a concussion on a DDT or Ole Kick because he was standing around in the ring dazed and then fell to the ground after a broken pin attempt and laid there until the end. This greatly slowed the final sequences and confused the rest of the wrestlers. Finish came after Dragon was laying on the canvas and Davey ate the Package/Brainbustaah combo. After the match Steen rubbed the title in Dragon's face as he had to be helped to the back. Dragon looked legitimately concussed and dizzy. **3/4
***Post Match***
Excalibur calls out Steen-erico for not being present on the last PWG show and questions their loyalty and threatens to strip them of the tag titles and award it to a more deserving team. After Steen explains that he's been away taking care of his family and new baby boy Excalibur calls calls Kevin Steen's baby boy (who is in attendance with his wife) ugly. This results in Steen affirming their loyalty to PWG, guarantee that no one deserves the title as much as they do, as well as giving Excalibur 3 straight Package Piledrivers as Steen brings in his son to pin Excalibur for the 3 count.

Op-Ed: Sen. Gipson & Asm. Lalor Join to End Unfunded Mandates
It's no secret that we don't see eye to eye on every issue.
However, we were both elected last year as outsiders committed to reforming our state government and reducing the cost of living in our community. We both understand the burden unfunded mandates place on local governments, school districts and, ultimately, taxpayers.
As we have done with our legislation to establish term limits in Albany, we are working together and proposing a bipartisan constitutional amendment to end the decades-long practice of passing down unfunded mandates from the state to local governments.
Unfunded mandates are legal requirements imposed by the New York state Legislature on counties, school districts, towns, cities and villages. The cost of implementing and complying with these unfunded mandates inflates our local budgets.
The Senate and Assembly have voted on mandates hundreds of times, to the tune of billions of dollars, over the past 10 years alone.
For example, counties in New York are required to pay for more than 40 state mandates, including $8 billion for Medicaid.
Many mandates are great programs with a noble purpose, but we cannot continue to place the entire cost on the backs of local governments and school districts. These costs are escalating at out-of-control rates, causing skyrocketing property taxes that are driving businesses and families out of our state.
The Albany establishment of both parties has shifted the burden onto local governments while ignoring the impact unfunded mandates have on inflating local taxes. In short, unfunded mandates obscure accountability for spending and taxes and lead to more money out of your pocket.
For years, Albany has ignored requests for mandate relief, so our bipartisan constitutional amendment is desperately needed.
In order to spur our local economy while preventing tax increases, New York needs to be creative and fiscally responsible in finding ways to fund these programs. Our bipartisan bill is one key innovation toward that end.
Our legislation would let local governments choose whether an unfunded mandate will be implemented in their area, and require the state to fund mandates that are unreasonably costly.
This will protect our municipalities from financially burdensome requirements while allowing local governments to continue to serve their constituents in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible.
Many local municipalities are faced with unsustainable budget deficits and the potential for insolvency. This hurts our schools, municipalities and the local economy.
Now is not the time for party politics, making excuses or allowing special interests to dictate policy. It's time to reform New York and get to work for those who elected us.
We are committed to working with municipalities in our districts and across New York to achieve greater fiscal health through smart, fiscally responsible reforms that create jobs and move our economy forward.
Career politicians are one of the big reasons our state has so many problems. The career politicians ignore the big problems. They only nibble at the edges of secondary and tertiary issues for fear that taking on the weighty issues will jeopardize their next re-election.
In contrast, we are committed to term limits and the citizen-legislator model.
This mindset empowers us to tackle the big problems in bold ways.
Undoubtedly, the career politicians and entrenched special interests will fight our constitutional amendment to end unfunded mandates.
We are undeterred by this opposition because the financial health of our communities hangs in the balance.

Being beautiful is never easy, especially if you're an eighteen year old boy like Gene who is constantly mistaken for a girl because of his delicate good looks. Gene is, in fact, anything but delicate. He is the ringleader of a group of tough kids in an all boy's school, and he's quick to beat the living daylights out of anyone who even hints that he resembles a girl.
If that wasn't hard enough for a regular teenage guy to cope with, his life is about to take a shocking turn for the worse. When Gene stumbles upon strange happenings in the forest, he gets sucked into a world of vampire intrigue and sinister romance that he never knew existed. And he learns that there are worse things than being turned into a vampire: being turned into a girl?!

I don't think the issue is whether or not people believe we are alone. Obviously, the universe is too big for us to be the "only" form of life in existence.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The issue is whether those other forms of life have/are visiting us.
That's when people lose their credibility. It's funny how people always see aliens when they're drunk/high as hell or cannot recognize Chinese Lanterns in the sky or live close to an air force base.

Help me narrow down this (very long!) list of crushes!
I've recently been going through this phase of really being attracted to these unusual, international (international in that they're used more abroad than here, although some of them are very international in the sense that they're used in many different countries) quirky names. I've managed to develop a huge (and I do mean huge!) list of crushes, and I need to narrow them down a good bit. Help me sort out this list, Berries!
All I've got sorted at this point is that I have room for 3 fresh combos, and I definitely want to use Odilia and Cosima somewhere, and I want a Danish name somewhere to honor my parents' connection to Denmark. And I'll probably use Poppy in some form or variation as a FN.
German/Germanic: Adalia, Rosamund, Leona, Adelina, Odilia, Maria, Ariane, Elisa.
Dutch: Aleida, Beatrix, Anouk.
French: Madeleine/Madelaine, Esmee, Etoile (not sure it really qualifies as a French name, but French culture, as well as stars, mean a lot to me personally, and I like that it reminds me of one of my favorite pieces by Mozart (my favorite composer!) Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman. Is it totally crazy as a name?), Capucine, Aurelie, Zoe, Agathe, Agnes (ahn-YESS in French), Odette, Cecile, Adeline, Anne-Sophie/Anne-Claire, Helene (saw this listed for several different cultures, but I liked it best pronounced the French way, ay-LEN), Sixtine.
Greek: Lyra, Leda, Aster, Calla, Penelope, Anthea.
Portuguese: Gracilia.
Spanish/Catalan/Basque: Mireya, Beatriu, Adora, Alaia, Septima (maybe I'm kidding myself here, but I have been quite intrigued by number names like Sixtine and Septima lately...).
Hebrew: Adaya, Adara, Ayelet, Ariella, Zelda, Zelie/Zelia, Livana, Eliora, Talia/Tali (predominantly because my sister is Natalie, nn Tallie...).
Czech: Zora, Cecilie, Eliska, Fiala.
Polish: Malgorzata, Zofia, Zosia, Gracja, Grazyna.
Welsh: Winifred.
Scottish: Isla, Greer/Grier, Eilidh.
Danish: Laerke, Elisabet, Kaja/Kaia.
Russian: Zoya, Lilia, Nadia.
Italian: Annabella, Antonella, Cosima, Emilia, Gemma, Liliana, Violetta, Fiorella.
Others: Zara, Hazel, Felicity, Poppy, Audrey. (I'm not really sure they're international, but I have been crushing on them lately, and they're contenders for FNs/MNs/NNs...)
And then there was Lydia/Lidia (Italian)/Lidiya (Russian), etc., that I really didn't know where to put, but I love all the variations equally, and Sylvia, which is so international and classic that I could have probably put her on every single one of these categories in some variation. Anyway, thoughts? favorites? Are any of them too crazy? Which would you like to see used?

Gonna pick my favorites from each category and throw in some suggestions.
German: Adalia. Love it. So pretty and an unexpected "Addy" name that wouldn't be so readily shortened to Addy.
Dutch: Neither are my style. I don't like the sound of Anouk, though I like how it looks.
French: Madeleine is sweet and of course, somewhat quintessential.
I love Marguerite and Mireille for french names.
Etoile I have heard used as a middle name and I thought it was lovely. The sound of the word itself isn't the prettiest in my opinion so I wouldn't use it as a fn.
Greek: Calla for sure. It's on my short list. I also like the idea of Calantha nn Cala, but myself would just use Calla.
Portuguese: I would rather see Graciela, which is latin so would work perfectly well in Portuguese.
Spanish/etc: Mireya (would it be spelled Mirella?).
I find Beatriu very intriguing. I think it would be one of those things where people would still call her Beatrice or Beatrix even after repeated telling.
Septima -- I knew someone with this middle name. She was the seventh child and the doctor actually suggested the name! They called her Seppy. I can't get over the Septic resemblance here.
Anais is a Catalan & French variation of Anne, which I think is a neat name (somewhat infamous for the lovely Nin). Liliosa is also quite nice.
Hebrew: Eliora, find it so lovely.
Czech: If I had to choose I'd go with Fiala, but none of these grab me.
Polish: Zofia, but again, you'd be getting "Sophia?" a lot.
Welsh: No, no. I can't abide by this name. Love Carys. Eira, Ffion, Siani and Rhiannon are also lovely.
Scottish: I like all of these, but Greer would be my least favorite. Also love Fiona
Danish: Kaja/Kaia
Russian: Lilia and Lidiya
Italian: Cosima and Violetta. Also love Giana or Giovanna.
Others: I see why people like Hazel, but it's not my style. I do think Poppy would make a great nn or middle name for the right combo. Such as Eliora Poppy
February 17th, 2014 07:10 PM #5
Oh, wow. This is going to be super hard. I love (almost) ALL of these! I think I'll just separate them into two categories for each nationality/origin.
Rosamund: I think I just love all Rose(a)- names, in general. There's something so sweet about them that I can't put my finger on.
Odilia: This one has a great religious meaning for you. It's not my favorite, I'll admit, but I love O names.
Don't love
Adalia: I don't like Ad- names. At all. Like, none of them. I think it's partly because it's really trendy right now, partly because I just don't like the sound. Expect to see every single one of them under "don't love." lol I'm totally biased, so you can ignore that if you want.
Anouk: This name is so unexpectedly cute.
Don't love
Etoile: I think this would be adorable and chic. Maybe more like middle name territory, but I love it.
Capucine: This one is on my list also! Capucine just feels so warm when you say it out loud.
Odette: Who doesn't think of Swan Lake? Beautiful.
Helene: Love the breathiness of Helene.
Don't love
Esmee: Pretty sure Twilight ruined this name for me forever. That makes me sad...
Zoe: I've never liked Zoe as much as I dig Z names. It's too short maybe? Leaves me feeling unsatisfied.
Agathe: I don't like Ag- names either, apparently.
Sixtine: I think of the Pope. Not the current one, but Sixtus is a Papal name. I'm not against Catholicism or anything, number names just aren't my taste.
Calla: I had this name on my list for awhile too, I believe. It can be an unusual flower name.
Penelope: It's really grown on me. I used to not like it.
Don't love
Aster: I'm sure you know the things people say about this one. As much as I wish that didn't bother me, it does.
Gracilia really isn't my style, although Gracie would make a good nn for it.
Mireya: Interesting and better alternative to plain, old, tired Maria.
Don't love
Zelda: What's not to love about this one? The Zelda Fitzgerald connection is my favorite.
Don't love
Zora: It's like a female Zoro!But I like it.
Don't love
Zosia: I've contemplated on adding this one to my list, but I feel like I already have too many Z names. Please, tell me I'm being silly and there's no such thing. ha
Don't love
Winifred has never been a favorite, nor any of it's variants, cousins, distant relations.
Isla: The imagery I get with this name is the reason why I love it, I think. Gorgeous blue waves, foaming up and landing on the sands of some lonely, tropical Island in the Pacific.
Don't love
Greer/Grier: I feel like this is more boy than girl.
(Surprise, surprise, I love all three... I really have surprised myself.)
Don't love
Cosima: Probably my favorite Italian name of all time (along with Cosmo.) I love the pair so much that I refuse to let a children's cartoon throw me off of the latter.
Violetta: This name is the prime example (to me) of all that is lacy and lady-like and lovely.
Don't love
I actually like Zara, Hazel, Felicity, Poppy, AND Audrey. They all have a quality to them that is feminine and yet, playful too. Even Felicity isn't too dainty to get her hands dirty. Also, you can never go wrong with Lidya or Sylvia. Both are gorgeous (along with their alternatives.) Okay, I think my fingers are tired now from all this frantic typing. Woo! I think they would all probably make great additions to your list. (Give Nadia the boot, though. She's shifty.)

I like most of your names and I love that you have taken the time to gather so many, and I also have a crush on Septima. The only one I think is a bit too crazy is Malgorzata. Most of these names would wear well in Europe and America, but I think some of the French ones would be butchered by Americans.
Odette, Leda, Ariella, Ayelet, Violetta, Lidia (lee-dee-uh), Gemma, Eliska and Zora really stood out to me.

Lady Gaga then presents an interesting fact: if she's present, then gambling -- in moderation -- can be enjoyable.
also interesting: a new slang form of the word "muffin", a cool consonant slide in "he can't read my... poker face" from "d" to "m" so it's almost one phoneme, also, bisexuality

Starting in 2012 the 125cc GP class will give way for the new Moto3 division, marking the end to two-stroke Grand Prix racing.
The Grand Prix Commission is meeting on the eve of the Czech GP in Brno this weekend and inside sources say an important announcement about the future of the smallest GP class will be made following the meeting.
Starting in 2012 the 125cc ranks will be replaced by the new Moto3 class, which features 250cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engines. But while most believed the engines would be a single-maker spec unit like in Moto2, they now say this is not the case and that the class will be open to competing manufacturers.
This would open the door for several new brands to possibly go Grand Prix racing, as all of the Japanese manufacturers as well as KTM, Aprilia and several other European manufacturers have existing knowledge and development with 250cc singles through the racing and production of their current four-stoke motocross bikes.
If, and when, Moto3 takes to the gird for the first time it will mark the end of two-stroke GP racing, which has been around since the series began in 1949. It also marks the end to the final remaining original world championship class from '49.
Also on the agenda for the GP commission this week is to determine if Suzuki will get an extra three engines added to their original allotment of six, as they are already only one short of running out for rider Alvaro Bautista and the season is only halfway completed. Word is also that the proposed new MotoGP rules for 2012 will not be finalized at this meeting, as more time is needed to discuss the details and deal with the increasingly-vocal opposition from Infront Sports, the company that runs World Superbike.

Support » Plugins » Adding Wp-biographia plugin to author template
5 years, 3 months ago
I created a author.php since my theme doesn't have one. Now I need the plugin to appear on the top of that page the same way it does for my posts. I can't use the add biographia box for author archive option since it then adds to each and every post. I only need it for the top of the author template.
Also the bottom of the box has some unused space between the icons and the bottom margin. I need to make the box more slimmer. How can I do that?

Family of the late Navy Commander Murtala Daba, the pilot of the ill-fated Navy Chopper described the Naval officer as a man of uncommon courage whose death was a big blow to the family.
Family spokesman, Daba told Vanguard in their family residence located along Goron Dutse-Jakara road in the municipality, that the late military officer showed traces of bravery right from childhood, adding that they were not surprised he ended up in the military.
Dr. Habibu Daba of the Centre for Nigerian Languages, however, stated that the family had put behind them the passage of the "illustrious son the family."
Yakowa to be buried today
Kagoma, the birth place of late Patrick Yakowa is now wearing a new look as it await dignitaries who will attend the burial.
At the time Vanguard visited the country home of Yakowa, workers were putting finishing touches to the grave that will be his final resting place.

Sundeep Chandhoke, among Control Engineering Leaders Under 40 for 2010
Want to meet the next generation of manufacturing automation and controls leaders? In November 2010, Control Engineering highlights 19 young professionals from around the globe who are making their marks in everything from system design to academia. These leaders aim to inspire others to get involved in engineering and resolve local and global challenges through smarter applications of automation and control technologies. Meet Sundeep Chandhoke...
Sundeep Chandhoke, 39
Principal Architect, 6 years
National Instruments
Austin, TX USA
Job function: System or Product Design, Control or Instrument Engineering
Academics: MS Electrical Engineering, University of Central Florida, Orlando. Specialization: Control Systems. Bachelor of Engineering, University of Pune, India, Electrical Engineering
Achievements: In 2004-2008, I designed, prototyped, and defined the architecture for integration of a control-based model of computation into National Instruments' flagship product, LabVIEW. Since National Instruments primarily deals with measurement and test, this was something unique and needed to coexist with already-supported means of data communication. Additionally, this involved supporting FPGA-based embedded products, thereby allowing for full customization on the IO front end from the customer. I've been granted several patents for this concept (7565654, 7689727).
In 2001-2004, I created the industry first concept of a software-based motion controller, NI- SoftMotion, which allows customization of control algorithms without requiring any change in higher level APIs. This allows for simulation with models (SolidWorks) as well as user-defined drives and IO. NI-SoftMotion is completely integrated into LabVIEW-RT and LabVIEW-FPGA, allowing users the highest performance and flexibility when it comes to customization. The product received Control Engineering's Engineers Choice Award in 2004. Patents granted on this technology are 6865441, 7103424, and 7076322.
In 1999-2001, I created a unique prototyping tool for motion control called Motion Assistant, which filled the gap between a configuration and programming tool. Patents granted for this technology are 7702417, 7702416, and 7076332.
Non-work hobbies: Research on classical and quantum physics. Understanding M-theory and its string variants and trying to figure out what the universe is made up of. I have always been fascinated by astronomy and physics and want to learn more on how and why things are.
Engineering hobbies: Worked with my seven-year-old son on Lego WeDo and tried to explain programming concepts to him. Since WeDo is built using LabVIEW, it is fascinates me how graphical programming can scale from simple to the most complex applications.
More? I'm highly motivated and interested in learning new things. This keeps me current with technologies. My main strength is mapping new concepts to current architectures and enhancing them; the concept of "start from where you are, and then work to add the vision." Start in controls: My very first control engineering class got me intrigued, and control concepts just seem to come naturally to me. I love application of theory to real-world systems. This was the main area of my work for my Master's research.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Have you used the search function ? used the Tutorial section ?
Did you know you can donate to help the running of this forum ?
hi...sorry we're busy, so only giving priority to supporting members like MK contestants / forum donators at this time...
The advice given is up to you whether to act on it or not. NO responsibility is taken for you screwing up !
Thanks for your understanding
Hi ROSSY, i tried the patcher but still nothing, i tried inputing a few numbers (38,55,53,249) but still it wont boot, is there a specific number for this game that i havent tried ?
when i put the game in now and i get to the screen telling you to fix the wrist strap and i press A the screen go's kinda greeny stripes then the wii reboots itself.

i have found a way to load MOH2 SSX etc through usb with channel aswell...lol
Yeah I tried the IOSPatcher, used 249, 30, etc, but I get as far as the strap message and it floods the screen with green and reboots the wii. Anyone had any luck so far?
I'm running from USB 1.4, soft mod wii, HBC, cracked V4.0 with IOS60 installed.
^ downgrade to 3.2 maybe?
I have my wii firmware at 3.2U and heroes 2 works perfectly fine for me. All you need to do is change the IOS to 249.
Hi guys just thought i would let you know i used my lg gdr8163b drive and rawdump to copy this then used iso patcher to patch it to 249 but during gameplay the controller freaks out, the aim is off by miles and the reload works when it wants to. Any suggestions. I am running firmware 4.2e

Local protest of child marriage in Iraq
Gathering in El Cajon condemns proposed change in Middle-Eastern law
Eric Bartl 12:30 p.m., Nov. 21
Blue Line trolley service from the San Ysidro station to points north has been halted on weekends so the Metropolitan Transit System can rebuild sections of track and station platforms to accommodate the more modern coach designs that operate on the Green Line from the Old Town station to East County stations.
Service between San Ysidro and Palomar Street is closed down Saturdays and Sundays. On those days (if all goes according to plan), shuttle buses will be available approximately every five minutes to take northbound passengers from San Ysidro to Palomar Street, where they can then catch a trolley north. Conversely, trolleys will proceed no further south than Palomar, where one will have to board a shuttle bus.
Two other shuttles will take passengers from San Ysidro to Iris Avenue and Palm Avenue. The shuttle to Palomar is an "express," which uses the I-5 freeway to reach the station.
The weekend rerouting is expected to be in effect for 50 weekends. More information can be obtained at: sdmts.com/trolleyrenewal.asp

Sentinel Religion Editor
Jimmy Peña, best-selling author, exercise physiologist and founder of prayfit.com, has released 'Prayfit 33-Day Total Body Challenge,' a workout system for a healthy body and strong spirit, available on DVD and Digital Download.
"Jesus gave us 33 years," said Peña and he encourages viewers to "give Him 33 minutes for 33 days for a healthier, more abundant life." Peña's clients have included Tyler Perry, Mario Lopez and LL Cool J, and their bodies are a testament to the potential of his technique.
The Sentinel recently interviewed Peña to learn more about his unique program.
LAS: What is the goal of the DVD?
JP: The goal of the Prayfit 33 DVD, along with the community at Prayfit.com, is to simply help people of all ages create long-lasting habits of focusing on their health as a means of praise; all in the privacy and comfort of their homes.
The Prayfit 33 is for everyone. No matter your level of experience, everyone has a "best effort" and that's the only requirement.
LAS: What factors led to writing producing and developing this project?
JP: After publishing my master's thesis, I had the fortune of either contributing to, co-authoring or authoring five bestsellers and I have been on the newsstands every month since 1999.
But, all of that was only to prepare me for what we're doing at Prayfit. You see, churches, communities, and schools are suffering physically at an alarming rate, and it all starts in the heart and at home.
Indeed, we were blessed that our first book project was successful; however, we needed an additional, powerful resource for the at-home exerciser. And so with the great people of Lionsgate, we created the concept of the Prayfit 33 DVD.
We chose 33 days as a way to honor the life of Christ, but also because as a clinical exercise physiologist, I know that a month-long program is phenomenal at creating long-lasting habits and physical change.
LAS: What are some of the topics covered in DVD?
JP: In bite-size portions, we help the viewer see health from the inside out; that we don't strive to be healthy in order to be loved by God, we strive to be healthy because we are. And that's the paradigm shift we're hoping families, individuals and churches begin to embrace. We see the incredible weight loss, muscle tone improvements, strength increases and higher endurance as byproducts of obedience. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak. Prayfit 33 aims to change that.
LAS: Is the DVD non-denominational or is it aimed at a particular faith-based group?
JP: The Prayfit 33 DVD is a non-denominational, biblically based program. In fact, we're being invited by churches, businesses and families across denominations to speak and share how they can recapture abundant life in 33 days.
LAS: How can people obtain this product?
JP: The DVD is available on Amazon, ITunes and sold in retail stores, including Walmart.
LAS: What future projects are you planning?
JP: There will be more books, DVDs and products, but at the moment, the critical factor is helping individuals and families realize that health is important to God, to family and to every facet of life. The Prayfit 33 is the resource that can jump-start that awareness, helping everyone who watches live abundantly as designed.

The customer is a partner
Post a comment
The downturn has resulted in an extended cycle for the high-tech industry, and because of that cycle there is a fundamental shift in the overall business model of the electronics industry. Focusing on the more specific sector of EDA, the downturn is creating some unique dynamics that will truly test the staying power of both large and small EDA vendors. At the center of those dynamics is the need for the EDA industry to move to a much more customer-centric view so that the customer is regarded not just as a buyer of tool sets, but as a true business partner who plays a significant role in shaping the near- and long-term success of the EDA supplier.
One key aspect of the extended cycle and business model shift is a fundamental change in what is driving business. Up until the current downturn, the primary customer concern was always the market window. Any EDA vendor that could specifically address the customer's ability to meet or beat target market windows could effectively make a business case for a tool purchase.
Today, the driving factors are much more cut and dried. Customers want to know how they can reduce costs. For EDA vendors, the answer cannot be found by just addressing design and NRE costs; customers want the EDA vendor to address the broad spectrum of product development costs, including those for packaging, tapeout and manufacturing. Customers also look to EDA vendors to improve the overall quality of their products so that designs work right the first time and yields will be high.
Thus, for an industry that has been traditionally driven by technology, EDA is having to evolve to a more "nuts and bolts" focus of helping customers achieve gains in their overall profit margins, even if just by a few pennies.
At Innologic Systems, our response to the foregoing dynamics has resulted in our assuming a business model that is "customer-driven and customer-proven." Our market space-functional verification of custom silicon-is highly design-specific, and each new design project brings a new set of verification challenges.
As a result, we dedicate as much of our company time and engineering resources to addressing our customers' specific design project needs and costs as we do to developing tool sets.
It's true that the current tentativeness of the high-tech sector is somewhat of an overreaction in terms of what is really happening in the market. Nonetheless, for the EDA industry going forward, we believe the ability to address customer needs and engage with the customer as a long-term business partner will be equal to producing new technology innovations.

Cubs fans can be in movie, aid charity
Cubs fans can be in movie, aid charity
Fans can have their name or that of a loved one included in the final credits of the upcoming documentary, "We Believe -- Chicago and its Cubs," to be released in spring 2009.
One half of all proceeds collected will go to two Cubs-related efforts. The money will benefit Project 3000, an organization which Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee helped create to find people affected with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a blinding eye disease. Money also will be donated to the non-profit Little Cubs Field, a replica of Wrigley Field scaled down to a kid-sized park located in Freeport, Ill.
This is believed to be the first time a film production has undertaken active viewer participation to support charities.
A limited number of spaces are available in the theatrical credits and they will be displayed alphabetically in the closing minutes of the documentary. The cost is $100 plus shipping and handling fees, and recipients will receive a certificate of authenticity as well as a "We Believe" T-shirt.
There also will be an opportunity to include names in the credits in the DVD version of the movie for $50 plus shipping and handling fees. People who want to be listed in the DVD credits also will receive a certificate and a T-shirt. The DVD will offer a director's cut, additional footage and stories, never before seen archival footage, and behind-the-scenes action.
The documentary follows the Cubs' 2008 season, which was the 100th anniversary of the last time the team won the World Series. Award-winning filmmaker John Scheinfeld is behind the project, and the goal was to show the passion and spirit fans have for the Cubs and Chicago. It's now 101 years since the Cubs last won the championship. Last season, they repeated as National League Central champs, but were swept for the second straight year in the first round of the playoffs.
"The disappointing closing of the Cubs' 2008 baseball season doesn't spoil the documentary project," said producer Chad Smith. "This is a love story about Chicago and its baseball team. With every love story, there is bound to be some heartbreak."
Lee, one of the Cubs players interviewed for the documentary, knows about heartbreak. His daughter, Jada, was initially misdiagnosed with LCA, and he and his wife Christina were told there was no cure. Jada now has been determined to not have LCA, an inherited form of blindness. The Lee family is still committed to helping identify the estimated 3,000 people who have LCA in order to offer genetic testing in an attempt to find treatment and a cure.
"I'm excited to be part of this project at every level -- as a participant and, even more important, as a parent who knows how much it will mean to other families who are struggling with this devastating disease," Lee said in a statement.
Edwin Stone, a professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences who heads the LCA research program at the University of Iowa, said the movie's efforts will benefit thousands.
"Private support makes all the difference when it comes to conditions like LCA, which affect a relatively small portion of the population -- but when it's your child or friend or family member suffering from this disease, the statistics don't matter," Stone said in a statement. "What matters is helping LCA patients regain their sight, and thanks to contributions from individuals and efforts like 'We Believe,' we're coming closer to that goal every day."
The documentary's crew was at Little Cubs Field on June 14, 2008, for the grand opening of the ballpark. Former Cubs third baseman and current WGN Radio analyst Ron Santo attended the ceremonies.
Fans interested in having their name added to the credits should go to the movie's website, webelievethemovie.com. There will be a Chicago premiere of the documentary this year.
Chicago area musicians and bands also are encouraged to submit original recordings of a song about the city to be included in the documentary. Fans will be able to cast a vote online for the favorite song on the movie's Web site. All entries must be received by Feb. 15. The documentary will include some original songs by Chicagoan Billy Corgan.

Documentation of the Character of Brian Laurens
by PV
[Editor's Note: the article below is a reprint extracted from a larger article published on this blog on September 8, 2011. The original, full story is available here]
The Laurens Effect
In this HD 43 race, there were originally 5 candidates who qualified: In alphabetical order, they are:
Roy C. Barnes (not the former Governor)
John Carson
Don Hill
Robert Lamutt
Geraldine Wade
Before we tackle the Laurens' Effect in full, let us describe for you in step-by-step detail of what Candidate Geraldine Wade, and one of her volunteers, experienced a couple of weeks ago as she was working the district via her car:
Wade received a phone call to her campaign cell phone. On the other end of the phone was a man's voice. The man told her (not in these precise words, but close to it) the following: "I'm a developer in this district and your signs are on properties I control. Those properties are reserved only for Robert Lamutt's signs. Don't put your signs there."
Wade responded with "Which properties specifically?" The man dodged that question and just ordered her, again, to keep her signs off of the "properties." When Wade asked the man for his name, he refused to give it…and soon thereafter, the call concluded.
Wade drove-on for a little while and pulled onto one of the vacant lots in the district that had a Lamutt sign on it and a Don Hill sign on it. She saw a realtor's sign on the property with a contact phone number on it. She dialed the realtor's number and got him and asked him for permission to place her own sign on the property.
The realtor told her "Yes, you can. Thank you for calling to ask permission. The only other candidate who has asked if they could put a sign on the property is Don Hill."
That struck a nerve with Geraldine who, after placing her sign on the property for which she was just granted permission to do so, hit the call-back key on her cellphone to the number that called her…and, the man picked-up.
Geraldine asked him who he was because she just got permission to put her sign up on a property in which Lamutt had a sign that he hadn't, evidently, asked permission to put up. The man evaded telling Wade his name and told her "Look, we're going to do a sweep of all my properties and anyone's sign except for Robert Lamutt's signs are going to be removed. I was just giving you a warning to save you some money." And then he hung-up.
When Wade got back home that afternoon, she Googled the phone number of the man who had called her. The Google results came-up as "Signs Unlimited – Brian Laurens."
Thus, Dear Reader, you are now properly segued into the Laurens' Effect. In every single race (whether a Republican party office or a public office) that Brian Laurens is involved in, there is always mischief of one or all of the following activities:
– Lying and dirty, sneaky tricks
– Sign stealing/sign destruction
– General & Frequent Bullshit of Unknown Origin (e.g., the altering of Karen Handel's Wikipedia biography in the summer of 2009. Yup! PV has received information recently that it was Brian Laurens' who altered those records.)
Brian Laurens is very pro-Robert Lamutt in this HD 43 race. Laurens has been pals with Lamutt since Lamutt's congressional race in 2004 (in which he lost in the run-off to Congressman Tom Price)
PV has received information as late as this afternoon that Laurens has been observed taking John Carson's signs down, as well as Geraldine Wade's signs.
To those of you who scoff and shrug and say "Hey, that goes on in all the races I've ever been involved in…" OR …"Everyone does it. Who cares?"…actually, there are people who are decent in this world who do care about this kind of bullshit and do not like it, nor do they engage in it.
ANY candidate that knows about this and allows this bullshit to happen over and over and over with Brian Laurens has even less class than Brian Laurens has. Brian Laurens is a sneaky and duplicitous sociopath…but, what's the candidate's excuse for not being able to recognize this and disengage himself from Laurens?

I just completed this little table topper/picnic/lap quilt as a wedding gift for a dear friend's daughter. (Just in time, her wedding is tomorrow Her china is white with black trim and her favorite color is lime green. The quilt is also reversible. At the time I was making the quilt I did not think about a little tote bag to match, but was able to find this cute little tote bag for pennies that went with it quite well!
The neat thing about this quilt is that Emily is a horsewoman and also has a special dog named "Arri". I already had this piece of fabric in my stash just waiting for the right moment to use it! On her gift card I put "I bet you can't find the square that depicts "a girl, her dog, her horse and her main man!!".... Hope she enjoys it! Thanks for looking!

BALTIMORE (AP) - As a reward for guiding the Baltimore Orioles through the most tumultuous two-month stretch in franchise history, Sam Perlozzo had the "interim" label removed from his job title Wednesday and signed a three-contract as manager.
Perlozzo takes control of a team that has suffered through eight straight losing seasons, the longest such run since the Orioles moved from St. Louis in 1954.
"We're going to go at it as hard as we can, and as long as we can, until we get a winner on this field," he said, speaking within the warehouse that sits behind Baltimore's home stadium. "I look for that to happen sooner than later."
Perlozzo was promoted from bench coach to interim manager on Aug. 4, taking over for Lee Mazzilli after the Orioles lost 16 of 18 to sink into fourth place in the AL East.
Perlozzo's job went far beyond filling out the lineup card, giving signs to base runners and summoning pitchers from the bullpen. He also had to serve as the voice of the organization as the Orioles endured the steroid suspension of Rafael Palmeiro, the termination of the contract of pitcher Sidney Ponson after two drunk driving arrests, and injuries to Sammy Sosa and Brian Roberts.
Though his 23-32 record was not spectacular, Perlozzo's levelheaded approach under extreme conditions enabled him to retain the job.
"I think we made the determination late in the season," said Mike Flanagan, who was promoted to executive vice president on Tuesday. "There's an old expression: Rough seas make a great sea captain. I think we got to see the best of Sam in a very difficult time, and frankly, I was very impressed the way he handled the club on the field and in the clubhouse."
Flanagan and Perlozzo will work together to end the Orioles' record run of sub-.500 seasons. Perlozzo has endured every one of them; he spent five years as third base coach before becoming bench coach in 2001 under Mike Hargrove.
After Hargrove was fired in October 2003, Perlozzo interviewed for the job. He was spurned in favor of Mazzilli, and although Perlozzo was extremely disappointed, he dutifully continued to serve in his capacity as bench coach.
His patience was rewarded Wednesday, when the 54-year-old Maryland native was named the 16th manager in franchise history.
"I've been a believer all my life that things work out the way they're supposed to if you just keep plugging away," Perlozzo said. "I put my faith in the fact that was going to happen. I always felt in due time I would be rewarded, and that it would be at the time it was supposed to be. And I totally believe this is the time it is supposed to be."
Perlozzo had prepared for this day since 1982, when he got his first managerial job with Little Falls, the New York Mets' affiliate in the New York-Penn League, following a nine-year career as a player that included 12 big league games with Minnesota and San Diego.
He moved up in the Mets' organization, finishing in first place three times in five years before accepting the job as third base coach with New York in 1987.
He took the same post with the Cincinnati Reds in 1990 under manager Lou Piniella, then assumed an identical position with Seattle in 1993 when Piniella was hired as manager of the Mariners.
Perlozzo found a home in Baltimore in 1996 when he became third base coach in Baltimore under Davey Johnson.
And now, he's the manager of the team. The Orioles waited more than a week to hand him the job, even though no one else was interviewed for the job.
"We felt comfortable moving in this direction. It was just a matter of getting there," said Flanagan, who observed Perlozzo's actions intently over the team's rocky two-month period.
"He was extremely fair with the players. If there was something negative he had to deal with, he dealt with it," Flanagan said. "He didn't let it fester, he didn't let it build."
Despite the distraction created by Palmeiro, Ponson and Sosa, and despite the Orioles' free-fall in the standings, the team continued to play hard for Perlozzo.
"The whole clubhouse likes him. He communicates well and really got us to remain focused," outfielder David Newhan said in a phone interview. "He definitely got as much as he could out of the guys, given everything he inherited. I'm excited for him and the team."

There's more to major OS X updates than introducing entirely new features such as Time Machine. Apple also takes the opportunity to freshen up existing applications, adding new capabilities or improving the way things get done. When Apple introduces a new OS X, it often takes the opportunity to freshen up existing applications, adding capabilities or improving the way things get done.
Such is the case in Leopard with two OS X mainstays - Safari and Automator. Let's examine what's new with Mac OS X 10.5 Automator.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: complete review
Introduced as part of Tiger, Automator exists to help you you create useful little programs to accomplish routine tasks, even if you know nothing about programming. The first version of the scripting tool was relatively successful, making the creation of basic contextual menu plug-ins for the Finder and standalone applications a drag-and-drop affair.
With the release of OS X 10.5, Automator has taken steps to make it even easier to create your own useful little utilities. In fact, Automator 2.0 makes it more likely that you'll find the courage to launch the program and take it for a spin.
The big changes
New look Perhaps the most noticeable change in Automator can be seen as soon as you launch the program. In Tiger, you were immediately dumped into the work area, where you could start building your workflow. In Leopard, you're instead presented with a Pages- and Keynote-like sheet called Starting Points that displays a number of categories - Custom, Files & Folders, Music & Audio, Photos & Images, and Text.
Choose a starting point based on the task you're automating, and several pop-up menus appear, asking from where Automator should get content, and how you'd like to get that content. Make your selections and click on Choose, and Automator will open with a couple of actions already showing in the workflow area.
Recording In the top right corner of Automator's interface, there's a new Record button next to the existing Stop and Run buttons. Click on it, and Automator activates the Finder while displaying a small Recording dialog box. The recorder then captures your keystrokes - opening System Preferences and activating a specific pane, for example.
This ability to record actions in Automator is a long-awaited addition. While recording won't allow you to do everything, it will let you work around any limitations you run into with Automator's built-in actions.
Next page: what you may not know, what we think and our verdict on Automator 2.0 >>
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Time Machine - the marquee upgrade
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Automator 2.0 - both those new to Automator and experienced users will find something to like in this release
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Safari 3.0 - still fast, and the new usability features make it that much better
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Spotlight - Mac users upgrading to Leopard will find a different Spotlight waiting for them
- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Finder and Doc - they work well, but the look is polarizing

philosophical underpinnings in order to identify principles
that help teachers build consistency and coherence within
a total classroom program given a particular population of
children, their age, cultural and linguistic background, and
family/community goals. Teachers examine current research
and thinking about early literacy and numeracy development
along with research on the role of the arts (visual and
performing) in the intellectual development of young children.
Course participants develop and implement a curriculum
project reflecting ideas relevant to their classroom.

Border dispute
A border dispute is when two governments or more do not agree where border is between two their lands. An example is Israel and Palestine. Another example is Pakistan and India over the territory of Kashmir. An historical example is the Honey War between Iowa and Missouri.
Wars are sometimes fought over border disputes.

text: In today's labor market, candidates are more in control than ever before. Not only is job search more online and more mobile than in the past, but the market is much tighter than in recent years. Simply put, there are fewer unemployed job seekers for every job opening--and the war for talent is on. Our research reveals several dominant themes: healthcare, flexible work, oil and tech jobs. The following in-depth analysis from the Indeed Hiring Lab gives employers insight into these trends as they appear in key metro areas, in all 50 states and DC, and in each season throughout the year. With these findings, employers can equip themselves with the data to take on the talent-driven economy and understand the nuanced job search of the candidates they're pursuing.

It was only a matter of time until someone came up with this nutty idea — and wouldn't you know, it comes to us from, of all places, France:
A premium rate phone line in France is offering Catholics the chance to confess their sins, for 34c (31p) a minute plus connection charge. But French bishops are attempting to disconnect Le Fil du Seigneur – or Line to the Lord – which was launched at the beginning of Lent.
The softly spoken male voice on the line offers touch-tone options: "For advice on confessing, press one. To listen to some confessions, press three," before warning, "In case of serious or mortal sins – that is, sins that have cut you off from Christ our Lord – it is indispensable to confide in a priest."
The telephone service is the brainchild of Camille Hautier, a self-declared Catholic. She said the Line to the Lord does not offer absolution for sins, which only a priest can provide. "The idea is to confess sins which are not capital sins, but minor sins, directly to God," she said.
Whether God is at the end of the line may be a matter of faith, but callers certainly don't get the option of talking to a person. Instead they are offered an "atmosphere of piety and reflection" where they can listen to prayers and music.
Some 300 people have called the hotline in its first week – although whether to confess their own sins or just to listen in to other people's transgressions is not clear.
The country's bishops were at pains to stress that the line had "no approval from the Catholic Church in France".

Raytheon already meets 80 percent of USAF requirements for alternate satellite terminal program
- Satellite terminals for US Army, Navy, Air Force are in production
Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN), which is competing for an alternate U.S. Air Force satellite terminal program, currently produces three Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) military terminals that already meet 80 percent of the Air Force's requirements.
Raytheon submitted a proposal to the Air Force in June for the Family of Advanced Beyond Line of Sight Terminals (FAB-T) alternate program, which will provide secure, anti-jam, communications for the U.S. president and senior military advisers.
Global Military Satellite Payloads and Subsystems Market 2017-2021
All three of Raytheon's AEHF terminals have passed production acquisition milestone decisions and successfully tested with the on-orbit AEHF satellite. They demonstrated interoperable communications using the satellite's Extended Data Rate (XDR) waveform, one of the military's most complex, low probability-detect, anti-jam waveforms. It moves data more than five times faster than legacy EHF systems.
Raytheon's U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force terminals currently support military operations on Milstar satellites, and are deployed and ready to operate with the newest AEHF satellites as soon as they are operational.
"With a 30-year history in highly secure satellite communications terminals for the military, Raytheon is well positioned to provide the Air Force exactly what it is looking for – reliable, efficient, cost-effective terminals to handle one of the nation's most sensitive and important communications needs," said Scott Whatmough, vice president of Integrated Communication Systems for Raytheon's Network Centric Systems business.
"We already meet a substantial number of technical requirements and we will leverage them to meet the Air Force's timeline for operational terminals by 2015," Whatmough added.
