PAX East: Bl4k Lotus sang this song about Race for the Galaxy
I saw this at PAX East and it blew me away. Thankfully someone recorded it. Most of it at least.

I've found burnout can come from a lot of sources. The one that probably happens the most to people is playing a game to death. I find this to be especially the case when the metagame for your group turns to cement. Bob always opens with the same strategy obnoxious rushing strategy that feels over powered. Sue always gangs up against him with Greg. You know the broad strokes of the game before you even sit down to play it.

First Impressions for March
Hapsburg Eclipse
States of Siege game, and first off I have to say I love the National Loyalty minigame much more than previous minigames. The National Loyalty has you constantly rolling to see if your ethnically diverse empire has torn itself apart yet. Ottoman Sunset's forcing of the narrows minigame felt incredibly tacked on, and poorly integrated. The National Loyalty in Hapsburg Eclipse feels much more elegantly unified to the rest of the game design.

Agricola Review
To put it bluntly, my initial experiences with Agricola did not endear me to the game. However a nugget of affection stuck with me. So much so that years later when I was looking for a heftier worker placement game than Lords of Waterdeep or Stone Age, I came back to Agricola. This time around, my experience has been much better, and it's now one of my favorite games.
Agricola was released in 2007 by Z-Man Games, and was designed by Uwe Rosenberg. It's a worker placement game that tasks you with building up your farm, and not starving. Players will have to plow fields and plant crops, raise animals, and build additions onto their house in order to grow their family. In the midst of all this, you also need to feed your family at an increasing pace.

The 10x10x12 Challenge
So I signed up for the 10x10x12 Challenge for 2014 on BoardGameGeek. The basis of the challenge is that you pick 10 games, and you try to play them 10 times in 2014. There is a strong emphasis on playing games you feel you've neglected. I picked 10 games I thought would be a piece of cake to play 10 times. I thought I'd love to play them ASAP. However January went by and I didn't touch a single one of them. I just got too many games for Christmas and from Kickstarter that I wanted to get in. Trying to play these 10 games I was chomping at the bit to play in December 2013 has been an insightful experience, almost 2 months into the challenge.

No Retreat: The Russian Front Review
No Retreat is an operational level wargame taking place on the front between Germany and Russia in World War II. It was designed by Carl Paradis, released by VPG in 2008, and re-released by GMT in 2011. It's a wargame in the classic hex and counter style, with an emphasis on enemy zones of control, supply, and combat result tables. It also introduces an engaging modern element with it's masterful use of event cards, which simultaneously represent special abilities, reinforcements, rail capacity and combat initiative on your opponent's turn. Each individual scenario plays in about 2 hours for me, and the campaign would likely take me all day.

First Impressions for February
The last month has been very busy for me. So most of my gaming happened after hours with some amazing solitaire designs. I discovered John H Butterfield, and his amazing games D-Day at Omaha Beach and RAF: The Battle of Britain 1940. I also finally tried my first Leader series game with Hornet Leader. Plus along with all that, I managed to grab a copy of The Hunters pretty much the day before it was announced that it was out of stock. Aside from those, the only other game which was new to me was Guts of Glory, which I already reviewed.

Christmas Is Coming: Quick cover your pillows!
December 2, 2011
I have no idea why but whenever I plan to decorate for Christmas my first thought is: Pillow covers. I guess it is because being a knitter I spend a lot of time curled up on or staring at the couch so of course I want to decorate it first. AND I love a good cozy pillow, so this year when I planned my pillow covers for Christmas I was drawn to flannel. Flannel everything- background, appliqués, you name it. And no zippers as well, they ruin the coziness. No need to take notes, you can just add these pictures to your Pinterest boards. Last year I made a pillow from Velvet with I-cord embroidery and it was soft and squishable as a pillow should be but I was always worried about my little one pulling off the I-cord so this year I went all out. We are talking Heat n' Bond and zig zagging all over the place. I even managed to couch on some yarn for the ornament hangers. All easy and all so soft and cozy.
1 yd of Flannel for pillow cover (I used Quilter's Flannel 90 in. Wide in Natural)
½ yd of flannel for ornaments (I used Cozy Cotton Flannel Grid Marine)
A smidge of wool felt for the hangers on ornament in Red
10 yds of wool yarn in Navy
Hot Pattern Giving Thanks Pillow Cover Pattern
First find an image of an ornament that you love and print it out. I did a quick search of Ornament Clip Art.
Trace this image onto the back of your Heat N Bond 3 times and cut out all images in one big piece (don't cut out each ornament shape yet) and apply, according to instructions, to the back of your green flannel. Now cut out each ornament, peel off the paper and arrange on your pillow cover made from Hot Patterns Giving Thanks Pillow Cover Pattern in White Flannel. Once you have an arrangement you like, iron your pieces in place. Cut out little squares roughly ½ by ½ in. from some wool felt. Wool felt is a little too thick for Heat n Bond so I like to keep it in place with a glue stick. Zig Zag stitch around your complete ornament. Finish off by pinning some navy wool yarn from your ornament to the top of your pillow. Slowly Zig zag stitch over your yarn keeping an eye on it so it doesn't creep out of place. Trim all loose threads and enjoy!

I ran for office to provide a voice to people who too often find themselves marginalized and forgotten at decision-making tables. My top priority is to advance policies that will shrink the unsustainable income gap and reverse the concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few. One of the best ways to do this is by incentivizing work and compensating workers at a level that allows them to meet basic needs.
For me, increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage (which $10.10 is not, but it's a start) is one of the key solutions to failed trickle-down economics policies, which have led to the death of the middle class and a sharp increase in poverty. The declining value of the minimum wage has created a growing population of working poor who require substantial government benefits just to survive. Tax payers are footing the bill for unsustainable business practices.
As a small business owner recently told me, workers want to know that they've earned their paycheck by bringing value to their employer. Working full time and still needing government assistance to put food on their family's table must rank among the most disheartening experiences for working Vermonters. I've heard about wanting "hungry" workers, but I hope we don't take that term literally.
Like earned sick days, which unfortunately never made it to the House floor for a vote, the minimum wage is a women's issue. Women make up the majority of the service-sector employees who are subject to minimum wage, and with the increase in women-headed low-income households, the minimum wage is a key policy intervention to improve outcomes for families in poverty. A recent report by the Brookings Institute reviewed a number of studies on school readiness, and found that "one of the most robust findings from these studies is the connection between parents' economic resources and their children's early development." The consequences of keeping wages low are far-reaching and cumulative.
I'm very sympathetic to the concerns of small businesses, and will continue to seek policy solutions that create an environment where both workers and employers can thrive. I dislike the proposition that you are either pro-business or pro-worker. How are these separate interests? Conversations about jobs in Vermont need to be amended to specify sustainable jobs. Low wages lead to a chain of dependency: low wage workers rely on government programs to meet their basic needs, even when they are working full-time. Employers are then as a consequence also dependent on these government programs – which need to be funded through the revenue schemes that many businesses find onerous. We can't have it both ways – we either need to embrace policies that advance sustainable employment or accept that we will have a persistent "underclass" that can't get ahead or even stay afloat without substantial government assistance. I voted to end the underclass, or at least take a step in that direction.

I tried to book standing tickets for Maroon 5 at O2 Arena concert in London, far in advance and found all other sites had tickets sold out or charged at least £20 more compared to this web-site. So I was very happy to come across double8 tickets.com! The web-site is very clear, user friendly, easy to book and to make payment. My tickets arrived as promised in 7 days after booking. I am very pleased with the service and will definitely use them again. Olena, Greater London
I ordered a wee away solution (having problems with a neighboring cat coming in and marking our walls). The order was processed next day and delivered 2 days later. Very satisfying service. Thank you! I will definitely use you again.

Also, she's spent $$$ to keep up her cert's, for many years now. People cut out extras like that when having a harder time paying the bills. And massages are an extra in 90% of cases.
We've had this talk before. I hate it when he decided to go back to school, because he freaking hates school. He just looks at it through rose colored glasses when stressed. And no matter what you say, he gets defensive. You're 39, we both old enough to know you can still hate a job you love, pick wisely, and how is fryers being added to the kitchen of your current job corporate again?
I am at a loss.
** It really is a round and round with him. He freaks out about waiting tables at least once in a 7-10 year period, goes back to school, has a complete melt down, quits school (just like he did at 16), and goes back to waiting tables. He forgets about the cycle he has been stuck in for years. He says he couldn't live off of $12-15 an hour. I don't know what to tell him. Most jobs here don't pay major $. He's never spent his money wisely and normally doesn't worry about rent until the weekend before it's due. He used to bum it off friends so at least he's made progress. He can't work an 8-5, M-F job because he has headaches. He can't do corporate because it's uncomfortable. He calls things corporate that are not. He shoot everything down, and picks things he has no chance getting a job at. I feel like his parent, and I am not. Eeeeeee
I hate this type of feeling. My brother can't seem to get it together, always broke, always needing help, etc etc - and he won't even go back to school - he tried and didn't understand something, threw a fit and didn't continue - so here we are, two years later and he's in the same boat (he had a very good job with a private company but when that company closed its doors, he realized that he did need a degree/certification of some sort to be hire-able in his mid-40s).
I don't have any words of wisdom other than to remind you that your job is to be a friend, not to parent - and if it's making you crazy it's okay to NOT engage. "Let me know what you decide to do" is a perfectly acceptable response.
It's just been so many years of it, and he really is a smart guy but he says, "I can't" to everything. He says he can't work the same job anymore, he gets in school and says he can't do it, he goes back to the uncomfortable comfort zone
He can have the lowest and highest (or unrealistic) expectations at the exact same time. He sets them high where he should really tone it down a bit (just because of the facts when it comes to jobs and income here), and sets everything else so very low. He can do so much more than he thinks, he just won't follow through. He's scared to. He does have issues with migraines, but at the same time he has never tried working in a different environment to see how it goes. He just assumes he can't do more than the minimum because he really doesn't want to yet he can't stand it either. He's a ball of confusion
I have typically been more let me know what you are going to do, for years, but I feel like I have done him no favors. He's never had involved parents. All 3 of their kids quit school. They were never around. I really wish he would stop saying no, and at least give a maybe...
I backed away from the conversation a bit ago. I told him I loved him, he deserves more credit than he gives himself, and I know he can do more than he thinks.
And thank you, Perri
He is more like family to me so... We can get brutally honest, quickly.
When I hear terms like "
" I think, who told cliques they could leave high school??

TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore Ravens second year wide receiver Torrey Smith did what many of us could not do. Imagine you just lost your brother or sister in a tragic accident. Then imagine going to work only hours later, and then being the very best at your job.
That's exactly what Smith did Sunday night against the New England Patriots, helping the team to a 31-30 comeback win in front of an emotional home crowd. Smith got the call around 1:00am about his 19-year old brother Tevin Jones who died in a tragic motorcycle accident in Northeast Virginia Sunday morning.
That's why it was so incredible that not only did Smith play in the game, he shined, catching six passes for 127 yards with two touchdowns.… Read more

Samsung: Yes to Windows Mobile, Android, Bada; No Symbian.
By Chuong Nguyen | November 11, 2009 9:30 AM
A senior representative at Samsung has recently confirmed–after the company announced the Bada mobile OS–that Windows Mobile and Bada will be officially supported by Samsung, along with Android, but that Symbian will be on its way out. It looks like Samsung is playing a non-committal role, but has singled out its non-commitment for Symbian.

Airframe Systems, Inc. v. Raytheon Co., 2010 WL 1239316 (1st Cir. 2010)
A First Circuit panel, including Associate Supreme Court Justice (ret.) David Souter sitting by designation, issued a decision on claim preclusion in a copyright case this past week. I was not aware of retired Supreme Court Justices hearing appeals, but Jonathan Adler pointed in early February at Volokh to a Ninth Circuit decision actually penned by retired Associate Supreme Court Justice O'Connor. It's an interesting occurrence, regardless.
Aircraft Integration Systems was a company that performed maintenance on and updated aircraft. AIS used software as part of its operations, which it licensed from Airframe. According to the allegations, during an on-site consultation, a former Airframe employee, without authorization, download onto AIS's servers source code that would allow for the modification of its software. This occurrence was discovered by Airframe five years later. At the time AIS was allegedly using the source code, it was an unincorporated business division of Raytheon. It was later sold to another company, L-3, after the software was no longer being used.
Airframe brought suit against L-3 and its former employee in the Southern District of New York, alleging, inter alia, that L-3 (1) had conspired its former employee to obtain its source code; (2) that L-3 could have used the source code to modify and update Airframe software without paying Airframe for license renewals or software updates (but the complaint did not claim such use had occurred); and (3), that L-3′s ongoing possession of the source code infringed Airframe's exclusive rights under the Copyright Act.
L-3 filed a motion to dismiss, which was granted.The S.D.N.Y. found that Airframe had failed to allege that L-3 had actually used the source code, only that it could have done so, and could not show infringement under the facts pled. Airframe Sys., Inc. v. L-3 Commc'ns Corp., No. 05-cv-7638, 2006 WL 2588016, at *3-4 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 6, 2006).
Electing not to appeal, Airframe then filed a second action in the District Court in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts suit differed from the New York suit in two respects: first, it alleged use of the software and not only retention of the software; and, secondly, Airframe brought suit against Raytheon, which had owned AIS as an unincorporated division at the time of the alleged infringement.
The District Court of Massachusetts found that the claims were precluded. Airframe appealled the decision in regard to Raytheon. Airframe made two arguments as to why the present suit against Raytheon is distinguishable from the New York suit for purposes of a claim preclusion analysis.
Airframe first contended that the causes of action in the New York suit, which claimed infringement based on unauthorized possession of its source code, were different from its present claims of infringement based on the unauthorized use of its source code to modify software. The First Circuit (Stahl, Souter, Lynch writing) found that both claims arose under a common nucleas of operative facts. The Circuit found that Airframe could have made both claims in the New York suit and chose not to do so. The Circuit further noted that Airframe sought leave to amend its New York complaint to add the infringing use claim; that the S.D.N.Y. impliedly denied the request; and Airframe did not appeal that decision.
Airframe argued, secondly, that the S.D.N.Y. suit did not name Raytheon as a defendant, which it claimed was not an identical party to L-3 because they were not in privity. The First Circuit rejected this contention finding that modern claim preclusion doctrine applies in a broader set of circumstances than those found in common law privity. Stated the Circuit:
Raytheon and L-3 were sufficiently related parties for Raytheon to be able to invoke claim preclusion in the Massachusetts suit. Airframe's claims are, and always have been, about the actions of a single business unit, AIS. Raytheon and L-3 had a close and significant relationship as AIS's former and current owners in the relevant period. In the New York suit, Airframe could have sued Raytheon and L-3, but instead tried to hold L-3 liable for AIS's actions under both L-3′s and Raytheon's ownership. Airframe made a number of strategic choices; claim preclusion doctrine requires it to live with those choices.

On the morning of the 15th October Goodys Fast Food restaurant greeted a rainy Sunday morning with a graffiti on its front 'Juden Raus!' –'Get out Jews!'. The mentality behind this is deplorable and for those of us who lived in the Depression and have memory of the German Occupation is disturbing as it says something about how little we remember , about how little we understand. In a time of crisis, economic,social and political that we would be reminded of how Europe and its defunct morality and ethics managed to create two world wars in the 20th century is sad. These wars resulted in the deaths of more than 61.000.000 – people of many religions and ethnicities: Greeks, Russians, Germans,English, Yugoslavs, Jews and Gypsies and homosexuals among them. Juden Raus was the slogan of a sick and frightening ideology that emerged in the hiatus between those wars. That this sign should be written in German is most significant; that it should be done in Crete and that nothing was done to stop the perpetrators despite the fact that Goodys is on a main street of Hania says something about how little we know of this city. Hania was once, like Sarajevo a city in which lived Cretan Christians and Cretan Muslims,Catholics, Jews, monks and dervishes, Bengazi Arabs and Armenians…in a highly creative and active society. The skeletal remains in the form of abandoned mosques, tekkes, churches and fountains are reminders of this time that we have seen erased in the course of our becoming Éuropean, in embracing a Europe that now blames Greece for its economic ills and failure. That this sign was written in German and not Greek says something about what we have become by linking our fortunes with a Europe about which we know equally little.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kipour
Due to the economic crisis that is endemic everywhere It was expected that we not have a great attendance for either Rosh HaShanah or Yom Kipour though we did for both have a minyan. As usual during the interim days the shofar was blown every morning to announce Selihot prayers and on the Eve of Yom Kipour, Lior Asher arrived from Tel Aviv. This is the third year that Lior has been with us and this year he led the entire prayer service for Y-K. His gift to the Synagogue is deeply appreciated as he has not only a family in Tel Aviv but also has to leave two hours after the Fast has ended in order to catch his 2:00 AM plane back home.
We were all especially touched when he told us that he always felt that Etz Hayyim had no roof and that his prayers went directly up into the heavens with none of the normal interference and distraction of political in-fighting in other communities. After Neilah when he blew the Yemeni shofar that we have, we broke the fast in the Synagogue as it was raining (which for us is always a propitious sign), and then after a dinner together he left by taxi for Herakleion. Next year he plans to bring his wife who is at present pregnant along with his son to spend R-HaShanah and Yom Kipour with us. Like the rain, Lior is a special blessing for us here.
Guests of Note: Ruth Padel the poet and great-great grand-daughter of Charles Darwin was with us for a week after giving a poetry reading in Loutro. We managed to set in motion for a poetry work-shop to be held in the new Resource Centre in the Spring. The author of several books for children, Doreen Rapapport and her husband Bob Rosegarten, the Emeritus Mayor of Great Neck were also with us for Yom Kipour. Both have been friends of the Synagogue from the days when initial work was being carried out for its renovation in 1999.

HSBC might pay $1.8 bn money laundering fine: sources

HSBC Holdings Plc might pay a fine of $1.8 billion as part of a settlement with U.S. law-enforcement agencies over money-laundering lapses, according to several people familiar with the matter.
The settlement with Europe's biggest bank - which could be announced as soon as next week - will likely involve HSBC entering into a deferred prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The potential settlement, which has been in the works for months, is emerging as a test case for just how big a signal U.S. prosecutors want to send to try to halt illicit flows of money moving through U.S. Banks.
An HSBC spokesman said: "We are cooperating with authorities in ongoing investigations. The nature of discussions is confidential."
HSBC said on Nov. 5 that it set aside $1.5 billion to cover a potential fine for breaching anti-money laundering controls in Mexico and other violations, although Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver said the cost could be "significantly higher."
In regulatory filings, HSBC has said it could face criminal charges. But similar U.S. investigations have culminated in deferred prosecution deals, where law- enforcement agencies delay or forgo prosecuting a company if it admits wrongdoing, pays a fine and agrees to clean up its compliance systems.
If the company missteps again, the Justice Department could prosecute. A deferred prosecution agreement could raise questions over whether HSBC is simply paying a big fine and nothing more, said Jimmy Gurule, a former enforcement official at the U.S. Treasury.
It would make a "mockery of the criminal justice system," said Gurule, who is now a University of Notre Dame law-school professor.
In his view, the only way to really catch the attention of banks is to indict individuals.

If you're like me, you have a hard time in new social situations (mostly stemming from the conviction that everyone there is jealous and shit). But sometimes, your job or the young coffee stand boy you're attempting to get naked forces you to meet and mingle with new people. What to do? Here are some tips I've picked up:
When someone introduces herself, say, "Liar!"
Bring some ham with you.
Mention that you have black friends.
Wear a cumberbund.
DON"T bring up the Spanish-American War.
DO offer Mentos.
Correct people's pronunciation.
Take a souvenir with you to show you appreciated the host's hospitality.
Watch TV.
Remember: Anyone can make chit-chat and play nice. You'll go far if you make an impression.
"'Cuz if you're not you better get your eyes fixed."
That how I make a impression of Don Rickles.
My most favorite people that I have met have always been carrying a ham.

UK: Hayman Distillers launches new copper still
By Andy Morton | 9 September 2013
Hayman's has redesigned its portfolio
Hayman's Distillers has brought its distillation in-house with the unveiling of a new still at its Essex bottling plant.
The English gin distiller said today (9 September) that growing volumes over the past few years have allowed the company to join its distillation with its bottling and blending facilities. "We are very pleased to have our own dedicated still as it gives us much better control over the production," Hayman's chairman, Christopher Hayman, said.
Financial details behind the move were not disclosed.
The new 450m-litre copper pot still marks the 150th anniversary of Hayman's great grandfather James Burrough buying his first still and is named after Hayman's mother, Marjorie.
In June, Hayman's updated its logo and packaging "to better emphasise its rich history as a family gin distiller".

Alcoholic Drinks in the United Kingdom
In 2011, although the UK economy exited its recession, economic growth forecasts were revised downwards several times in the year. Rising unemployment rates, public sector cuts and stunted retail sales growth also impacted consumers' economic confidence and thus constrained sales of alcoholic drinks in the UK. 2011 also saw the introduction of 20% VAT and further excise duty increases. On-trade consumption continued to suffer most as a result of consumers cutting back on socialising...

Critical Overview
Upon its 1954 publication, Nectar in a Sieve was embraced by critics and readers alike. The book was praised for its sensitive and artful depiction of life in an Indian village as it changes in the wake of industrialization and modernization. Western readers found the book accessible, despite its unfamiliar physical and cultural setting. A contributor to Contemporary Novelists declared Markandaya "one of the best contemporary Indian novelists."
Critics note that although Markandaya wrote the book in English, the language never seems at odds with the themes or the characters' speech. This is an accomplishment because, although English is one of the official languages of India, it is not the language of daily life, especially the daily lives of poor people such as those portrayed in the book. Markandaya manages to write a distinctly Indian story in a Western language. William Dunlea of Commonwealth described Markandaya's use of English...

a.k.a. The Crimson Blade
directed by John Gilling
1966 / Hammer Film Productions / 78′
written by John Gilling
cinematography by Jack Asher
music by Gary Hughs
starring June Thorburn, Jack Hedley, Oliver Reed, Lionel Jeffries, Michael Ripper, Harold Goldblatt, Duncan Lamont, Suzan Farmer
The English Civil War is in its last throes. The remaining Royalists, the Cavaliers who are pure as angels I'll have you know, are fighting a guerrilla war trying to enable the former king Charles to escape from the – satanically evil wouldn't you know – Roundheads.
Despite the Royalists' best efforts the men of Colonel Judd (Lionel Jeffries) – officially a traitor to the royal cause himself – manage to capture the king. Now it's only a matter of holding on to the arsehis former royal majesty until he can be transported to the tower, which is supposed to happen in a few weeks time.
Fortunately or un, a group of especially potent Royalist guerrillas (among them an especially scenery-hungry Michael Ripper in embarrassing brownface as "the gypsy Pablo") led by Edward Beverley (Jack Hedley), calling himself "the Scarlet Blade" is operating in the area. These guerrillas are of course doing everything in their power to decimate the enemy troops in the area, and find a way to rescue the ex-king.
What Judd doesn't know is that his daughter Claire (June Thorburn) has been helping Royalist refugees for quite some time, even though she isn't exactly subtle about her loyalties; from there, it's only a small step to involve herself in the conspiracy meant to save the king. Ironically, Judd's right hand man, the deeply cynical Captain Sylvester (Oliver Reed) sees quite a bit more clearly what Claire is up to, but instead of denouncing her, blackmails himself into the Royalist conspiracy too. For Sylvester has fallen in love with Claire and has decided that the best way into a woman's heart is threatening her with exposure and then helping her out with the things she's afraid of being exposed for. He is a smooth ladies man, Sylvester is.
Alas for poor Sylvester, once Claire lays eyes on the prime middle-aged woodenness of Beverley, her heart is forever lost to him. Of course, being played be Oliver Reed in a very sneering mood, Beverley is not the kind of guy who takes these things on the chin, and again the cause of saving one mass-murdering asshole to replace another mass-murdering asshole with him is threatened by the vagaries of love.
The deeper I dive into the pool of non-horror movies Hammer Studios made parallel to their horror output, the more impressed I am by the non-horror movies' general quality.
John Gilling's The Scarlet Blade may not be the second coming of the historical adventure movie, seeing as it uses a period not often seen in this sort of film in a bit too shallow a manner, doing a bit more violence to actual history than seems necessary for the kind of film it is. It's one thing to decide on one side of the English Civil War to be the moustache-twirling bad guys, but it's quite another one to basically have the angels sing on the soundtrack whenever fucking Charles I., who deserves the word "tyrant" the film uses for Cromwell quite well too, appears on screen.
However, whenever the film decides to explore the more complex loyalties and motivations of its characters, and relegates actual history to the attractive background like most modern swashbucklers do for a reason (we're a long way from Weyman, for better or worse), it becomes less annoying, and more believably human. In fact, the strained loyalties all of the film's major characters except for its nominal hero Beverley have give the handful of scenes of actual physical violence much more poignancy than they otherwise would carry, and give the film's melodramatic scenes quite a bit of power. Beverley, on the other hand, is and stays the sort of boring, wooden romantic lead you've come to expect from this sort of film (the times of Errol Flynn alas being over, too), a man whose moral certainty is not based on an ability to work through his doubts and fears, but on a lack of imagination and personality, which makes him pretty difficult to cheer for, even when he puts love before duty.
It doesn't help our theoretical hero's case that Jack Hedley's performance is so neutral it sometimes becomes difficult to remember he's there, nor that his main rivals for screen time are Lionel Jeffries and Oliver Reed, both doing their best to outdo each other in intensity, nor does it improve matters that the script doesn't bother to give him much of interest to do.
June Thorburn's character is quite interesting for an adventure movie of this period (and especially one from Hammer, who weren't exactly front runners when it comes to active female leads) in that her character is actually allowed to have some agency as well as a backbone. In fact, Claire seems a much more heroic character than Beverley to me, because she actually understands the implications of what she is doing, and decides doing it despite of these implications because she thinks she is doing right. I just wish Thorburn were a little better at projecting the force of personality the script suggests her character to have; while she isn't as lacking in screen presence as Hedley is, she's never quite convincing enough, which is a bit of a shame.
Other reviews of The Scarlet Blade on the 'net tend to come down hard on the action scenes. However, I don't think that's particularly fair. It's true nothing Gilling presents here is truly spectacular, but the film's emphasis lies more on its character-based melodrama of loyalties, with the action only meant to provide the story with enough spice to keep it moving. That, I think, the action does quite well.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Lauren Conrad, The Hills Return Tonightby Free Britney at .
Lauren Conrad, Laguna Beach alumna and star of MTV's The Hills, is featured by People Magazine in a photo special previewing her reality show's second season - which starts tonight! Here are the exclusive photos and the details she dished:
Lauren, 20, and roomie Heidi Montag, also 20, sit down to lunch at Mauro's Café at Fred Segal. Conrad, who's been going out "most nights" (her fave club: Les Deux) since ending her tumultuous romance with Jason Wahler and a brief fling with Brody Jenner, says of Wahler, "I've tried several times to be like 'let's just be cool and be friends'... But then I'll see him somewhere and he'll just be rude to me." Ass.
At Ron Herman, Conrad pulls several dresses to try on for her appearance later on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the new season of The Hills. "Whatever catches my eye," Conrad says of her shopping strategy.
Lauren Conrad tries on several gowns, including a $528 Yigal Azrouel blue halter frock ("It's a great color, but don't you think it looks like a potato sack?"), but ultimately settles on a black Jill Stuart cocktail dress. "I love the frilliness of this," she says as she takes a twirl. Later, Conrad looks poised as she and Heidi Montag arrive backstage at the Kimmel show.
At her apartment, Conrad gets makeup for her guest spot on the ABC late-night show. "I normally do my own hair and makeup," says Conrad, who despite being admittedly bad at dating, says she isn't what you'd call a drama queen. "I'm not a diva."
During her interview with Kimmel, Conrad tackles questions about the new season, her rival Kristin Cavallari ("Everywhere I go, people ask me about her... I just don't understand it"), her tattoo (she's changing the J, for Jason, to an L) and the new season.
"It was really easy," the Laguna Beach alumna boasts after the show, before heading out with her parents to grab dinner. Good luck this season, Lauren. Good luck.

So how is life now? are you still going to school and working at teen vogua? i hope that you have fun and i'll try to write once in a while. Thanks for making laguna beach famous.

Pearl Harbor Day 2011: three enduring mysteries
On Pearl Harbor Day, historians continue to debate the mysteries of Pearl Harbor. The Japanese attack created some of the great unanswered questions of military history.
(Page 2 of 3)
The late Gordon Prange, a University of Maryland professor who was perhaps America's foremost authority on the attack, believed that the core problem was that the US government did not in its heart believe that its own warnings about imminent Japanese aggression were true.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
"This fundamental disbelief is the root of the whole tragedy," concluded Mr. Prange in his book, "At Dawn We Slept."
A congressional committee conducted extensive hearings into the Pearl Harbor disaster after the war ended. Among its conclusions were that Army forces were so focused on training they lost sight of possible attack – and that Army commanders were so worried about sabotage they locked up anti-aircraft ammunition rather than distribute it to gun sites. The Navy did not maintain aircraft patrols at sea due to lack of equipment – but neither did commanders order a picket line of surface ships instead.
In the current issue of Naval History, a journal of the US Naval Institute, historians Jonathan Parshall and J. Michael Wenger argue that an overlooked answer to the question of why the US was surprised is that US commanders did not understand how quickly aircraft carrier warfare was evolving.
The Pearl Harbor strike plan involved the melding of planes from many carriers into a hornet swarm of attackers. That was a skill the US did not know the Japanese military possessed.
"The US Navy had no real inkling of Japanese carrier warfare capabilities and therefore could not accurately assess likely operational targets," write Messrs. Parshall and Wenger.
Why didn't the Japanese press their advantage?
After two waves of aircraft devastated Pearl Harbor's Battleship Row and US air bases, Japanese pilots returned to their carriers in triumph. Adm. Chuichi Nagumo then led a discussion on whether another attack was feasible. Many air commanders supported such a follow-up, believing that fuel dumps, repair shops, and other US logistical sites were now vulnerable.
A cautious commander, Nagumo decided against more action. It would have required reloading aircraft on deck at sea at a time when the location of US carriers and submarines was unknown. Japanese forces had already won a spectacular victory. Why waste that gain?
"Nagumo's decision to turn back came as a disappointment to many of his airmen, who wanted to exploit their opportunity," wrote Prange.
Destruction of Pearl Harbor's infrastructure might have forced the US to withdraw its naval forces to the US West Coast. For decades, some historians have argued that Nagumo missed an opportunity that maybe, just maybe, could have turned the course of the war.
However in his book, "Inferno," Max Hastings argues that new research shows a follow-on attack was not feasible.

The place for everything that doesn't have a home elsewhere on RogerEbert.com, this is a collection of thoughts, ideas, snippets, and other fun things that Roger and others posted over the years.
"Lee Daniels' The Butler" is inspired by the real-life story of a black man who worked in the White House for decades, serving eight Presidents from Truman to Reagan. Born in the Jim Crow-era South of lynchings and segregation, Eugene Allen lived long enough to cast a vote for Barack Obama. Forest Whitaker plays the fictionalized Cecil, the butler, with Oprah Winfrey as his wife, Gloria, and David Oyelowo as their son, Louis, who becomes a leader in the Civil Rights movement. The cast also includes Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda as Ronald and Nancy Reagan, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, and Vanessa Redgrave as a plantation owner.
How do you evoke the important details of such a large swath of history without getting lost?
We don't focus on history. History is the backdrop. The focus is the family. I have to tell what I know. I've never been in the White House. So that was really a specific choice to focus on the father and son love story and make the rest of it a backdrop, the White House and the Civil Rights movement. Otherwise it is not a story; it's a history lesson. Danny Strong wrote an incredible script. He knows so much about history. I had to do some research on the White House, but the sit-ins, the bus rides, the different drinking fountains, those were things my family and I experienced. I once drank from a "whites only" fountain and got slapped by my dad. I thought there would be Sprite coming out of there! My experience is that experience, either from personal experience or from my mom or my dad, or my aunts and uncles and grandparents.
How did you talk with Forest Whitaker, who plays the title character, about the way his character would show his age over the course of the film?
He is one of if not the premier actors of our generation. He brings a load of stuff that he's studied and thought about. For me, it was really about being a puppeteer, guiding him, telling him maybe a little too much here or there but it's all him. I just told him when to bring it down or bring it up, like adjusting the volume. He comes at you like a cannon, but with humility.
What do you want people to talk about on the way home from this film?
How they could laugh and cry at the same time. How I didn't take it too seriously. In the research I did with the slaves and the Civil Rights movement, they didn't take it too seriously. If they didn't laugh, they got terrified. So they had to laugh through the tears. I hope people will say, "Lee Daniels did not take it too seriously, and by that he told the truth."

Parents cherish memories of murder victim
- Article
- Comments
- Photos (7)
People hold on to their memories because their memories hold on to them.
When reality pushes the breaking point with an onslaught of tragedy, heartbreak and frustration, memories provide the warm comfort of a hug and the strength to go on.
In Mike and Nancy Kalinowski's memories, an 11-year-old girl scampers up the stairs at home after school, laughing and singing Mariah Carey songs.
"Holly was a little girl, an innocent little girl," Nancy says of her daughter, Holly Staker. "She loved to be around her friends, she loved to cook and she loved children."
Holly was savagely murdered Aug. 17, 1992, and in the years that have followed, the Kalinowskis have been unwilling passengers on a bizarre roller coaster ride through the criminal justice system.
Juan Rivera, now 39, was arrested four months after the crime and later convicted and sentenced to life in prison. A second trial followed, accompanied by another conviction, and that was followed by a third that also resulted in conviction.
On Friday, Rivera walked out of prison with the assurance he will not be tried again, and the Kalinowskis were left once again to confront the pain of what happened to Holly.
"Sometimes you think about it, even after all this time, and your knees just buckle," Mike said Friday night at their home in Pleasant Prairie, Wis. "I mean, how many times do you have to bury your child?"
The couple dismiss claims of Rivera's innocence and, despite the withering criticism leveled from some circles, have nothing but praise for the police and prosecutors who they said stood by them throughout the years.
They said they met with Lake County State's Attorney Michael Waller last week, and he informed them he would not pursue further legal action against Rivera.
"We could tell it was hard on Mr. Waller, but that he was doing what he had to do," Mike said. "At one point, he said, 'This is our job, but it is your lives,' and he became very emotional."
Nancy said she still feels the sting of Rivera's statement to the court at his first sentencing hearing on Dec. 21, 1993, when he said "Holly was no angel" in the course of a long speech.
"She was no angel? What kind of an innocent man says something like that," Nancy asked angrily. "He claims he didn't know her, says he never met her, and then comes out with a statement like that."
The Kalinoskis said they joined a support group for the parents of murdered children in the immediate aftermath of the crime, but found most relief in those closest to them.
"We had our friends and family and our faith," Nancy said. "The outpouring of love was remarkable and really helped us survive, and those things will continue to get us through this."
She said Holly excelled at school and even helped a younger sister, who Nancy declined to identify in order to protect her privacy, learn how to write.
"They would take lipstick and write on the mirrors, then clean it off with Windex when the mirror was full and do it all over again," Nancy said. "I finally wound up getting a chalkboard for them in order to save the mirrors."
Mike married Nancy six years before Holly's death and said that Holly and her identical twin, Heather, were quite skilled at giving him the twin treatment.
"Oh, they used to mess with me," Mike said. "I'd ask one a question and would get the 'No, Mike, that was Heather' routine all the time, and they would sit there and giggle."
Nancy said Heather has struggled mightily with the loss of her sibling and has suffered though bouts of substance abuse and scrapes with the law.
"Heather has been through so much," Nancy said. "I don't think she will ever get over this."
Mike and Nancy concede that they will never get over this themselves, but they say their faith and dedication to their other children will keep them going.
"We will always have our memories," Nancy said. "Holly lives in our hearts, and that is something no one can take away from us."
And in those memories, the 11-year-old girl will be scampering up the stairs at home after school, laughing and singing Mariah Carey songs forever.

Tillman's gem stymies Red Sox

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Chris Tillman took a two-hitter into the seventh inning, Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 22nd home run and the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Boston Red Sox 2-0 Friday night in a duel between the top two teams in the AL East.
Manny Machado had three hits for the Orioles, who have won five of six — including the first two in this four-game series. Baltimore moved within 1½ games of the division-leading Red Sox, the closest the Orioles have been to first place since May 13.

Found November 07, 2012 on Fox Sports Wisconsin:
PLAYERS: Scott Skiles, Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, Brandon Jennings, Monta Ellis, Quincy Pondexter, Wayne Ellington, Marreese Speights
TEAMS: Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks
TEAMS: Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks
MILWAUKEE - Scott Skiles summed up Wednesday night in just a short phrase."They pretty much owned us," the Bucks coach said just shortly after watching Memphis cruise to a 108-90 victory at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Except for a short period of time in the first quarter and a short stretch in the third quarter, Skiles was spot on. The Bucks struggled to make shots as the Memphis big-man tandem of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph was as good as advertised. "They had all the energy," Skiles said. They had all the toughness, executed better. They took it to us."Immediately when the game is over when you expect to win and expect to do things right up there, when the game's over you are never quite sure how much credit to give the other team and how much you just let them do what they want."Skiles estimated the Bucks missed 15 lay-ups Wednesday, with a bunch coming while the Grizzlies built their lead. Guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis shot a combined 11-for-38 on the night. Down 22 points in the third quarter, the Bucks were able to cut the defecit to seven, but a pair of 3s by Quincy Pondexter and Wayne Ellington grew the Memphis lead out to 13 to end the quarter.That killed Milwaukee's momentum and ended any hopes of a comeback."Maybe five percent of the time are you able to come back in a game like that, when the other team pretty much owned you the whole game," Skiles said. "You are going to need to play perfectly, you are going to have to bang a bunch of threes and you are going to need to get stops you haven't gotten the entire game. It's not impossible but against a quality team, it's pretty hard to do."Leading up to Wednesday's game the talk was of the challenge the talented duo of Gasol and Randolph present. Like a pair of wrecking balls, the pair bulldozed through Milwaukee's defense and created shots for teammates. Add in 18 points and 9 rebounds from backup center Marreese Speights and the Bucks let the Memphis big men catch too easily and in places they finish easily. "He plays the game so well, as far as passing, rebounding and obviously he can score inside," Bucks forward Mike Dunleavy said of Gasol. "Zach (Randolph) and him play off each other real well and they complement each other. It's a tough matchup. We were definitely outmatched tonight."In the end, Milwaukee blew its chance to start 3-0 for the first time since 2005. And according to Bucks guard Brandon Jennings, Friday's game in Washington is now extremely important."It's a must win in Washington, actually because we have to come back and play Boston (on Saturday)," Jennings said. "We don't want to come back losing two. It's a must win in Washington." Follow Andrew Gruman on Twitter.

About the Hummer H3
Like the H2, the 2007 Hummer H3 has only one engine option available, a 242hp, 3.7 liter, inline 5 cylinder. However, the H3 has received an additional transmission. Instead of just a 4-speed automatic, a 5-speed manual has been added as the standard transmission. Gas mileage for the 2007 Hummer H3 is pretty low, 15/19 miles per gallon. Smaller than the other Hummers, the H3 is a slightly more user friendly.
Most of the features available come standard in the 2007 Hummer H3. Air conditioning, cruise control, tire pressure monitors and a CD player are just a few of the standard features. The options include a CD changer, a navigation system and a sunroof. To keep you safe, the 2007 Hummer H3 has All-Wheel Drive, ABS, traction control and airbags. Certainly not as high end as the Hummer H2, the H3 is an excellent alternative if you need a more controlled Hummer.
Owners of the 2007 Hummer H3 liked the SUV overall. A common request was for more power, perhaps a V6 or even a V8 available. Gas mileage was also a source of contention with owners. Many owners were surprised by the maneuverability and turning radius of the H3. Overall, this is a Hummer that is made for people who don't quite need a full-sized beast. It's been tamed a little bit, and some folks need a calmer ride.
