3.0 out of 5 stars Alexander's nanny's fanny is a many splendored thing
Hortense Briulle, notoriously scandalous French cinema verite star, simultaneously beguiles and repels the viewer with her stream-of-consciousness ad-libbing in several romance languages while often puncutating her commentary with gutteral howls, shrieks, grunts, moans, jabs and lurches toward the camera. Critics have called it "...reminiscent of early John...

K. Gordon - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fanny & Alexander (Criterion) (Blu-Ray) (Blu-ray)
As many already know, this magnificent Criterion blu-ray contains the film in two forms; the original,
longer TV mini-series, and a version trimmed down for theatrical release.
But this is a masterpiece however you cut it. Somehow, in one film, Bergman has managed to combine
tragedy, broad and subtle humor, melodrama, philosophy, mystery, magical realism, kitchen sink reality,
controlled performances and big bombastic performances, etc. and weave it all into an organic whole with
a wonderfully (and shockingly for Bergman) positive message about the joy of life, the importance of
savoring family, friends, passions, and the moment itself while we can.
Populated by an unforgettable gallery of characters based on Bergman's own familial history, this is an
intimate epic that takes us inside the lives of an upper-class, artistic Swedish family soon after the start
of the 20th century and the misfortunes and triumphs that befall them. Not quite like any other film I've
ever seen - either by Bergman or anyone else. This is a child's eye view of the world, mixed with the
wisdom of an aging man looking back, with a kind eye, on life itself.
It's strange to say, perhaps blasphemy, but I actually liked the cut down feature a touch more than
the 4 part TV version it was cut from. For me, there is something a little more focused and impactful
about it. Perhaps that's just because I saw it first, but much like Altman's 'Vincent & Theo' (which also
was first shown as a European mini-series) I found the extra material pulled my attention a few too
many places, and sometimes answered mysteries I liked remaining as mysteries. But I will freely admit
I'm in the minority, and to be clear I LOVE both versions.
While Criterion's DVD set of the same was excellent, this was a case where I was happy to 'double dip'.
The beautiful Criterion blu-ray set is a strong step up in image quality, with greater depth, clarity,
better color rendering, etc. It keeps all the important extras of the original set, and upgrades them
to HD, (A thoughtful touch sometimes overlooked). If you are a "Fanny & Alexander" fan, a Bergman
fan, a film fan, or a human being fan, I'd urge you to treat yourself to this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fin-de-siècle phenomenal film - the Apogee of Ingmar Bergman,
Martin G. Beyer (St-Urbain-de-Charlevoix (Quebec), Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fanny & Alexander (The Criterion Collection) (DVD)
Looking for a movie which has everything and anything for the whole family? Looking for a substantial cameo of past European culture and human passion? Looking for lives and loves as Nordic as Carlsberg, L�ytens akkevit, IKEA or Kalajastatorppa? Drama, comics and antics antique and young and fresh? No need to search further than this miracle of a movie, Fanny and Alexander, by the late great Ingmar Bergman, his last and ultimate work for the screen. This fabulous fable on film describes the history of the Ekdahl family , a reasonably well-to-do group of adults and children in the high bourgeois circles of the years before the horrors of World War One, playing, say, around 1905. Not only is there a kaleidoscopic mix of pastoral idyll, although Bergman's phobia of (Lutheran) pastors weighs in strongly in the latter part of the movie, and high drama, but it all gives an intimate picture of Sweden with its folklore and festivals, but also with the pride and prejudice of life in that country of booze and birches as it was a hundred years ago. All is as perceived by the young siblings, Fanny and Alexander, whose wide-open eyes register the antics of farbror(uncle)Karlchen, the indebted professor with his hysteric German wife, of the meandering, philandering other uncle, Gustav Adolf, the mild but doomed theatre director Oscar, the children's dad, his widow, the ethereal Emilie, and her dreadful bishop, stately old and beautiful grandma Helena with her tender Jewish lover Isak Jacobi. If you know and love the water-colour images from his home by the likewise Swedish artist, Carl Larsson, from that very same epoch, this most literary masterpiece is for you and your family. This is not a one-night stand, you would want to see it over and over. The copy of the present reviewer has discreet English subtitles to the Swedish sounds, so far (2012) there seems to be no French version available. Never mind the language, but here you have a gem for your DVD collection!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Christmas Movie,
Don P. Deboer (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
I have to admit that I understand why other people would find this film pointless or dull at times. It doesn't seem to be conveying a clear message. On the other hand I don't think it is a movie about delivering a message. It seems to be a movie that explores themes that lie at polar ends from one another like reality and fantasy, and good and evil. The movie seems to be an exercise in those paradoxes and contrasts. The movie also seems to end somewhere in the middle without being able to make a conclusion about those contrasts but life goes on anyway. The biggest part of the contrast is the difference between the household of a loving, albeit eccentric, family of actors and the household that contains the stern clergymen (now stepfather) and his sterile and oppressive family. Then there is the Jewish uncle whose home seems to carry elements of the mystical. The joy of the movie is not so much is what it says but how it is saying it. Allow yourself to get lost among the beautiful images and colorful characters. Its like a Swedish "Hannah and Her Sisters" with a gothic twist. Watching this movie made me remember what it was like to belong to a family clan full of pride and ruled by a loving and, like the rest of this indulgent family, less than perfect matriarch. If I had to say it was about anything I would say it is about the love among a family clan and the confusion between good and evil, and truth and lies for a young boy. Remember this movie is much more than Fanny and Alexander, it is also about an entire cast of characters which are a joy to see (e.g. the adulterous uncle, the favorite maid, the emotionally lost and trapped mother, the favorite son, the alcoholic uncle and his miserable wife etc etc). I recommend you find a way to rent a PAL VCR so you can enjoy the full length British version which contains an extra 2 hours or thereabouts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better in blue ray,
Mike "at the movies" (Victoria BC) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fanny and Alexander (Special Edition Five-Disc Set) - Criterion Collection (DVD)
It is delightful to have the television version in blu-ray. It is fuller, rounder and with much additional detail. A highlight for a life-time Bergman lover is the performance of Gunnar Bjornstrand in what was to be his last performance. The sequence with him as the Clown from Twelfth Night is to be savoured.
5.0 out of 5 stars The grand storyteller's epic final Masterpiece....,
By A Customer
Fanny and Alexander will transport you through time to the stark contrasts of early twentieth century Sweden. The story of a young boy and his sister living amongst a wealthy, extended theatrical family. Only Bergman could delight us with his clever wit and dialogue mixed with tragedy and triumph. The film explores the never ending moral battle of good versus evil with rich alagorical touches. The sheer complexity and detail this film exudes make all other movies seem like poorly produced toothpaste commercials. Only the great master and his magic lantern can spin a story that can't help but involve even the most cynical filmgoers. Great photography, world class actors and a script worthy of the ages make this film a must see. Don't miss the last full glimpse of Ingmar Bergman's dark and magnificent genius.
5.0 out of 5 stars Optimistic,
J. Hampton (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews
Bergman wrote in The Magic Lantern that this was his dispensation--he allowed himself one movie to express all the optimism that he had suppressed in his earlier works. The result, from the very first frames of the movie, is a richly-textured, lavishly-colored, extraordinarily long (it was 8+ hours in the original) story of suffering and salvation. In all of his movies, women have been the source of hope and redemption, but they are especially so in this one. As in the rest of the Bergman oeuvre, there is no God to save the characters, but here, he is replaced by the bonds of familial affection. The uncle's toast at the end of the movie is a beautiful and optimistic summary of Bergman's philosophy. He put everything into this movie.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a stew, not a hot dog.,
Eric Antonow (Palo Alto, CA United States) - See all my reviews
As is clear from the reviews, this movie isn't for everyone. Much more like reading a novel or seeing a play, the pleasure of the thing is in the dedication of the viewer to the story. That it is on video (vs. a theater screen) probably doesn't help and I think I too might have fallen asleep on the couch if my first viewing had been on a 19" window. However, if you are patient and are willing to listen to the story, it may just be the best movie telling of a story ever. If you are reader of great novels you will love this, if you enjoy the lushness and humanity of Shakespeare, you will love this. If you find pleasure in the desolation of most Northern and Eastern European art...you'll love this. I'll stop.
5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting,
By A Customer
When I saw this film for the first time I had an almost visceral reaction to it. Its haunting imagery has stayed with me ever since. I was quite young at the time (weren't we all) and new to foreign films. I was dazzled and excited by what an evening "at the movies" could offer me. I am almost reluctant to see this film again as I am afraid it will not have the same impact now as it did then. Kind of like your first love...never to be repeated with the same intensity...
5.0 out of 5 stars What's the original aspect ratio?,
"f19f" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
I wish someone could inform me: What's the original aspect ratio of this film? Is it 2.35:1 or 1.33:1?
Is the VHS in the original aspect ratio of the film? If it's not, I rather wait for the DVD to see it in its full widescreen glory. Otherwise, I will purchase the VHS right away.
Would someone please let me know? Thanks.
5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fanny & Alexander (The Criterion Collection) (DVD)
Of course it's a stunningly moving film--it's Bergman, mature and alight with brilliance. But the product itself is excellent; the second DVD fascinating.

Students at Summit High School in Williamson County got a nice surprise Monday morning, an envelope of cash. A program called "Live a Better Story" choose Summit as its first public school for the social experiment to encourage students to make change.The money, $750 in total, was donated by the Spring Hill-Thompson's Station Rotary Club. "What they [rotary members] realize is their investment will be multiplied and will be invested back into the community to individuals and non-profits,"explained club member Max Strange.
At Monday's assembly, around 50 students were handed envelopes with information, suggestions and a crisp $5 bill. There are no rules but Strange told the students they are not to simply return the $5 to the school. "This is one of their first experiences where they're saying, it's your life, it's your money you see the issues of your community, go make a difference," he explained. Junior Madison Blackstock helped launch "Interact Club," which is Rotary's service club for young people. "I think it will be life-changing, because there's so many things they can affect. A lot of teenagers seem to focus on what they don't have and I think this experience will start to make people realize how special and lucky they are to be where they are," she said. Strange and Blackstock both acknowledge some students may spend the money on themselves rather than on a cause. "Even if a few people take advantage of it, it will be worth it. We might have one or three mess up, but I think we'll have tons and tons of great stories."Strange added, "There are those that the spirit of this they don't get, but it's so much worth it for the 98% who are going to do great things than the 2% who may take advantage of this situation," he said. "They need permission and they need an inciting incident. What we did today was we gave them permission to go make a difference in the community." He continued, "This is really creating a benevolent purpose in lives and I think that's wonderful, that kids in high school are learning that through their giving their making a difference in the community."On October 19, students will gather for an assembly where they will share their stories of what they did with their $5. Brentwood High School has also been asked to be a part of a future program.

I'm excited on one side and worried on the other.
It's exciting that I can pick 9 of my friends (which meet the tank/heal/dps requirements) instead of picking people because we needed a certain class for a boss mechanic. That means I can finally gkick that stupid warrior that thinks we cant raid without him :P
But if you look back and think about all the fights that required some specific class mechanic you quickly realize that either the boss fights are going to become very boring very quick or you wont have the true option of "bringing in the player, not the class".
For instance, if all your "good" DPS happens to be melee how many fights in TBC would be extremely difficult to get by with only melee.
Fight mechanics such as AOE damage would need to be removed (i.e. Gruul/Al'ar). Fight mechanics such as the one on Eagle boss in ZA would be extremely difficult with only being able to have all dps in close enough during the lightning storm.
So eventhough Blizzard says you will be able to "bring the player, not the class" I don't think they really mean it.
And on the issue of people complaining that "pure DPS" should do more damage, stop with the QQ.
Just because you selected a pure DPS class doesn't automatically entitle you to an extra +5% DPS. You should have selected your class because it was fun to play, not because you want to be on the top of the DPS meters.
If you want that extra +5% DPS you are going to have to earn it. For example, when I use my Ret Pally I can put out around 1300 DPS, when my gf uses the Ret Pally she can put out around 1000 DPS and when my 8 year old brother uses it he puts out 600 DPS. That's what they mean by choosing the better player over the pure dps class. If your upset about losing to a hybrid class then go L2Play. It take 10 minutes to read about what rotation you should be using.
If you spec into a DPS talent you shouldnt expect to do worse because you have the option of being a healer or tank.
All DPS are created equal -Thomas Jefferson
i think we can split the dps in 2 groups, ranged and melee, this way you still have the need for X tanks X healers X melees and X ranged for a fight, so we will have all those mechanics we saw in BC and probably we will see mechanics that you need skills, like Mag and the cubes, Kael in TK, hope they have crazy ideas about fights, some of those were fun

Fox-Spirit (3.5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
A peaceful being that primarily lives on the ethereal plane as an onlooker to simply observe those on the material plane, but when not watching from the ethereal plane they spend their time guiding the lost out of the forests they prefer to inhabit, fairies have a personal interest in them due to their extraordinarily high spiritual power that they radiate.
Physical Description[edit]
A Fox-Spirit is for all intents and purposes a fox that possesses multiple tails, being born with one, up to 9 new tails grow with the passage of time. Fox-Spirits stand about 4-4.5ft. tall, and they weigh relatively in the 200 lbs range depending on personal height. Fox-Spirit males are generally larger than the females. The fur on a Fox-Spirit can be almost any color,yellow, white, blue, green, grey, silver, even gold, however wispy black, white, and even red lines of color cover the fur of these creatures almost like beautiful artwork. Fox-Spirits have the traditional long narrow snout. A Fox-Spirit's eyes are typically a misty combination of silver blue and gold hues and can be almost any mixture of the three, Being considered a Kami themselves they are traditionally looked up to by the Fey and are not to be underestimated by any means.
Fox-Spirits are a very proud, yet social race. They treat all except those whom they consider destructive and ignorant (anyone that would think of destroying a forest for personal gain) if you respect it it will show you respect in return, if not it wont think twice about you or you're thoughts. If a Fox-Spirit catches you destroying a forest or harming the weak and defenseless you will receive no special treatment and it will deal with you accordingly (most likely death)
Fox-Spirits are traditionally neutral good and tend to stay out of matters that don't involve those it feels it must protect. Other wise a chaotic good is very probable.
Most Fox-Spirits live in the realms between the planes observeing from the ethereal plane and tend not to roam into major cities however there are several that take on the form of elves and humans and live among them in towns and cities.Fox-spirits have been known to mate with these races in particular, when they display a great affinity for nature.
Fox-Spirits are considered Kami their religious views lean towards whatever the Fey they protect believe in.
Fox-Spirits can speak to almost all Forms of Fey along with common, due to their spiritual nature they can also speak the languages of both angels and demons.
Fox-Spirits are usually given names by the Fey they protect.
Racial Traits[edit]

I know Uther did great deeds, but I still can't get over his failures in the 3rd War, especially in regards to Arthas. I can't but help to think that had he stuck with Arthas, he would have been able to temper the young paladin, instead of running like a whiny tattle-taler to his daddy to go tell on him. I'd take Tirion over Uther every day of the week and twice on sunday. I could also think of some other paladins, such as Bolvar Fordragon, that I would consider as "greater" than Uther.
That all being said, I think most of us would agree, Turalyon is probably the greatest of them all. Most bad-ass pally ever. Another great post, keep up the good work. :)
There is NO way that Turalyon would have gone into purge Strath. with Arthas though. I know some people see that as a failure on both Uther and Jaina's part but that boggles me. It's set in stone that that act was the beginning-of-the-end for his soul.
Turalyon is defined by his compassion, as much as his prowess. He felt bad killing Black Dragon eggs for gosh-sakes (which solidified my love for him forever).
Sure, he'd maybe have some compassion for Arthas but he would NOT have participated in killing his own people, ever. That is why for me he isn't "Bad-Ass", as that term has never been more than chest-thumping to me, rather he's a true hero.
vocenoctum said...
I don't really know what the "right" thing for Jaina and Uther would have been to do during the Culling. Should they have helped? Should they have stopped Arthas?
What I do know is they did nothing. They felt so strongly in their convictions that they walked away like little wusses. Jaina couldn't watch Arthas do it? But she couldn't freeze him? Uther couldn't stop him?
They just walked off and whined, portraying it like some great event.
Ah I see, interesting take on it I guess. :)
I guess I'd argue that there is a difference between saying NO to your prince, technically the guy in charge at the moment, and actually preventing him from doing what he was doing, especially when a number of the soldiers were behind him.
It's a really good point though. One could argue that at least Jaina may have learned from that moment since she was willing to freeze Varian in the Undercity, preventing him from attacking Thrall.
This is why I do not see her as the whiney, token character that a lot of people make her out to be. (fighting an uphill battle on that one)
Point taken. :) Though I don't think Arthas was deserving of much respect by this point but that's my bias. I thought he was a spoiled douchsnozzle (official term ;-)before his "down-fall." Jaina can do a lot better.

Will Hypnosis Lead the Revolution in Healthcare?
Troy Robins C.Ht, Guest Writer
Waking Times
Today hypnotists are treating cancer and other chronic illnesses with unprecedented degrees of success. Hypnosis is on track to become the mainstream treatment for chronic illness and many other illnesses that have an origin in the mind.
The trouble hypnosis has historically had is that you can't see it. It's invisible and yet it works very well and it has done so for a very long time. Because of its invisibility hypnosis has been difficult to study. It's been difficult to understand exactly how it works and even more difficult to communicate any understanding to others.
People are naturally afraid of the unknown and when the affect of something is not understood it's usually treated with suspicion. This is just human nature. In the eighteen hundreds a doctor by the name of Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that a huge reduction in deaths could be achieved at pregnancy clinics if doctors washed their hands in a chlorinated lime solution. Even though the effect of his discovery was obvious his theory was rejected by his peers because germs were invisible. Sadly, many more women died in child birth than was necessary until germ theory was later confirmed by Louis Pasteur.
The world has changed tremendously since the eighteen hundreds. We now know that invisible things do matter and are in fact the source of matter. In 1973 Max Planck announced:
"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as the result of my research about atoms this much: THERE IS NO MATTER AS SUCH! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."
Of quantum mechanics Einstein said, "The more success quantum mechanics has, the sillier it looks." The mysterious force Planck referred to is consciousness. But it really doesn't seem all that silly anymore. The current generation of people living on this planet has grown up with "silly" and "invisible" being perfectly normal. Radio waves, TV signal, microwaves are all invisible and normal. Electricity, invisible, is old hat. Now it's Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Sat Nav and a growing list of technologies that are all connected by the invisible.
As our understanding of information and consciousness has grown, related applications and technologies have grown proportionately, including hypnosis. We now live in the information era and hypnosis, synonymous with consciousness has come of age. People are no longer afraid of these technologies and they are becoming more common-place by the hour. While this has been a great help to humankind in many ways, it hasn't helped the pharmaceutical industry all that much. In fact it's probably done the opposite.
In 1955, the same year Einstein died, an anaesthetist by the name of Henry Beecher published a paper entitled "The Powerful Placebo." A placebo is a harmless substance containing no medicine that's prescribed to a patient as a medicine in order to reinforce the patient's expectation of getting better. It's basically a way to deliver to a patient an encapsulated suggestion that the patient will get better. Beecher had personally observed this effect when treating badly wounded troops during the Second World War. Morphine supplies had run critically low and so he was astounded to watch a nurse inject salt water into an injured soldier while telling him that it was a pain killer. The salt water relieved the soldier's pain and prevented him from going into shock. The mere suggestion that it was morphine being injected into his body caused him to feel better.
Thanks in part to Beecher's work pharmaceutical companies now need to produce medicines that perform better than a placebo. The trouble is, due to our growing trust in the invisible, placebos are becoming more powerful! Pharmaceutical companies are finding it increasingly difficult to get new medicines approved because placebo's work as well and sometimes better than the medicines they are testing. Even some older medicines that originally outperformed placebos are now failing to beat placebos in follow-up testing.
Pharmaceutical companies have been unable to produce as many new medicines that are effective enough to qualify for patenting. Many of the patents they hold on their old medicines are about to expire which means that these medicines will be produced far more cheaply as generic medicines. Of course this means fewer profits for the pharmaceutical companies triggering a crisis labelled "the big patent cliff".
If a placebo is just a simple suggestion for a patient to get better, it should come as no surprise that placebos work better for children. Children are far more accepting of the invisible than grown-ups. It's foreseeable that as grown-ups in our culture grow more comfortable with the technologies of suggestion such as hypnosis, greater use of these technologies will be made. In a sense hypnosis has been better tested than any other modern medicine on the planet, because every modern medicine on the planet is tested against placebo. Increasingly the simple suggestion wins!
If simple suggestion increasingly beats the very best efforts of the greatest pharmaceutical minds and medicines in the world, our culture will inevitably give greater consideration to how powerful sophisticated and individually tailored suggestion in the form of hypnosis can be. The people entrusted with society's health are under increasing pressure to find faster, cheaper, safer and more effective solutions to health care. They are finding answers in hypnosis.
Hypnosis is increasingly used to treat chronic illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome and more physicians are referring their patients to hypnotists. This is just evolution in action and the outcome is inevitable. As more studies become available confirming that chronic illnesses generally have an origin in the mind, so hypnosis will increasingly become the treatment and cure of choice in these illnesses including cancer and other so called dread diseases.

Do all hypnotists practice under a code of ethics? Doubtful. We were hypnotized into believing that Big Pharma had the answers. Now we're asked to believe that the answers lie in the very method that tripped us up on drug therapies. Not so fast, there! What of the known percentage (at least 10%) of the population that is not hypnotizable or open to unquestioning suggestion (obedience)?
Sorry, but given the State of the World and each man's fallible nature, I'd probably be more likely pass on hypnotherapy and move on to naturopathy.
Depending on where in the world you are, all registered hypnotists practice under a code of ethics. No doubt at all.
Hypnosis has not tripped up anyone on drug therapies. Hypnosis is in competition (an alternative) to some drug therapies.
100% of normal people find it easy to go into hypnosis as long as they are able to follow the directions and give their consent.
All healing modalities have their place. If the ailment that needs treating has it's origin in the mind, that's where at least some of the work needs to be done, otherwise you're back to treating symptoms.

My favorite quote:
It's dismaying that we're patting men on the back for exhibiting a basic level of empathy, sort of like how we lavish praise on professional athletes who manage to not cheat on their wives or sexually assault college students.
True. Fucking. Story.
Muslims today are young, sexually and politically frustrated. This isn't the strapline of a new reality show, but the conclusions of stereotype-laden analysis from the Daily Beast.
A new wave of Republican lawmakers barged into office after the 2010 elections on promises of fiscal responsibility and a reigning in of government spending. Jobs. The economy. Econo-jobs. While everyone was Tea Partying their pants off and puking star spangled vomit into the potted plants, eager for the tax breaks that never came, newly-elected conservatives wasted no time to get to what they were really after: women's reproductive rights. And it turns out that attacking birth control and abortion rights is a really great way to totally fuck the economy up.
Hey guys, have you met The Purity Bear? He's a plush toy who appears to tempted teens and warns them without moving his mouth that going inside a girl's house will inevitably lead to sex having, and sex having before marriage is literally the worst decision you could possibly make. In spite of…(continued)
In order to even run for political office in this country, one must have an exceptional amount of money, education, hubris, and connections, or some combination thereof. However, in the last decade or so, someone somewhere decided that in order to be the President, you must be the Most Average Person in America. Middle class, middle part, middle white skin, with a medium-hot wife and a medium number of children, all of whom are average. So to appease this defensive mediocrisy that has somehow hijacked the American political process, candidates spend inordinate amounts of energy insisting that they're super normal rather than solving problems.
I think it's safe to say my love for Jezebel has been diminished considerably.

Call for Papers
Our young century has been one of political ruptures. Formerly resilient regimes across the Middle East have fallen to popular mobilization and Western military intervention; counter-revolution is afoot, civil wars rage, and others loom. In post-industrial democracies, economic crises and contagion have bred grassroots rebellion against austerity and neoliberalism, raising the spectre of a renascent left in the very heart of global capitalism. The electoral success of nationalist and xenophobic political parties in Europe has exposed the fragility of multicultural societies and has threatened to undermine the project of European unification. Fears of illegal immigration and terrorism have resulted in the increased securitization of borders and widespread surveillance of citizens and foreign nationals alike. On a less tectonic scale, U.S. politics has witnessed judicial ruptures that threaten hard-won civil rights gains and buttress the legal fiction of corporate personhood. Public opinion has shifted decisively on issues from gay marriage to marijuana legalization, while demographic change has stoked heightened speculation about coming electoral realignments. The past may not even be past, but the future has become increasingly unpredictable.
Our one-day conference at the University of Pennsylvania will deal with the concept of ruptures—those that have occurred, those that might occur, and how our theories and methods can adequately identify and conceptualize "the rupture" in contradistinction to more gradualist or evolutionary understandings of politics and political change. We think of ruptures broadly, and invite the submission of papers on a wide variety of issue areas and methodological approaches, including but not limited to:
- Political and economic crises and their aftermath
- Violence, war, and conflict
- Constituent power and the role of the exception in political life
- Institutions and political (in)stability
- Political and electoral realignments
- Critical junctures and disjunctures
- Migration, diasporas and patterns of inclusion and exclusion
- The revolutionary (or counter-revolutionary) role of technology in politics
- Social-scientific paradigms and paradigm shifts
- Theoretical or methodological reflections on political rupture
Deadline for submission of proposals: February 15, 2014
Proposals should be 300-500 words, and include a title, abstract, field and year of study. They should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com,or submitted through the Google Form above, no later than February 15, 2014. The conference program will be announced by March 1st and papers will be due on March 15th for pre-circulation. Limited travel stipends will be available for conference participants.

The N. C. Education Lottery is warning players to be on alert about a lottery scam targeting recent winners.
Winners say someone called them claiming to be a part of the lottery and saying they'd won additional prizes. They then asked consumers to buy a prepaid debit card and provide the number to get the prize.
The state Attorney General's Office wants to remind players that legitimate lotteries will never make winners pay money up front to claim their prize.
"Lottery scams, unfortunately, are all too common, but they can easily be avoided by following a few common-sense guidelines. We have customer service representatives and security officials who are here to help lottery players with any questions they have about our games. Once you buy your lottery ticket, no additional money is required from you to claim a prize that you win," Alice Garland, executive director of the N. C. Education Lottery.
State Attorney General Roy Cooper urged consumers to be careful. "Anyone who promises you've won a prize but demands money before you can claim it is trying to rip you off. Don't take the bait, and report lottery and other prize scams to my office."
Players who win up to $599 can claim their prize at lottery retailers after a winning ticket is validated. Winners of $600 or larger must claim their prize at one of the NCEL's regional claims centers. Those who win a prize valued at $100,000 or more must claim their prize at NCEL headquarters in Raleigh.
If you think you're a victim of a scam, contact the Attorney General's office at 1-877-566-7226 or

Hey now: sorry, but if you're gonna get political mileage by blaminng him for poor numbers and policy failures, you have no right to complain if he gets credit for things improving.
I've been wondering how Obama would revive Reagan's (Ailes) 1984 reelection campaign theme of "Morning In America".
The here it is in a brilliantly executed ad by an Italian automaker with a Republican spokesperson selling cars instead of politicians. And every word resonates because it's all true.
Roger Ailes should sue for copywrite infringement.
Why don't you just ask Clint Eastwood if his intentions were politically motivated or not? Seems like a pretty simple thing to do. Certainly easier than speculating.
As I watched the ad my first impression was that it was a campain ad in support of Oblamo's reelection. It wasn't until the end that I realized it was a car ad, but it left an Oblamo taste in my mouth, so it would not surprise me if that wasn't the purpose behind it. After all it was a government motors (GM) ad.
Isn't Chrysler owned by Italian firm. In what way is Chrysler products different from Toyota
Perhaps the Chrysler bondholders don't see the "turnaround" as an unmitigated success? Maybe they should get equal time.
It might have been a pro-Obama Chrysler ad, but I'm sure Clint Eastwood was paid. Actors will promote anything for a paycheck.
Although a sequel for "The Muppets" has been greenlit, one particular star who was integral to bringing the franchise in to the new millennium will not be a portion of it, reports Collider.
Jason Segel told the internet site he won't be signing up for another round with Kermit and Co. "It's true [that I will not be in the sequel]," said Segel, "but it's totally amicable. My target was to bring the Muppets back and I did that, leaving them in very very good hands." Segel said he desires "to pursue much more human-related projects," adding, "All I wanted to do was to set the stage for them to do whatever they wanted. I'm positive I'll return in some capacity here and there, but that was half a decade of my life. Five years of challenging function. I'm ready for a little puppet break."

Church harvests help end 'food deserts'
Young adults driving force behind church, community gardensby Anna Groff with reporting by Rachel Giovarelli on Eighth Street Mennonite
Print Article Email to a Friend
This year, Mennonite churches around the country offered the fruit (and vegetables) of their labor from their community gardens.
John VanderHeide, 26, describes his church's neighborhood as a "food desert." Rainbow Mennonite Church is located in the Rosedale neighborhood in Kansas City, Kan.

"There are no actual grocery stores, … and the lack of public transportation means that most residents have to get food from convenience stores," says VanderHeide of Holland, Mich.
In response, Rainbow Mennonite provides produce from its gardens to Rosedale Farmer's Market, which operates out of Southwest Blvd. Family Health Care Center.
Rainbow Mennonite manages and co-manages three gardens: one across from the church parking lot, one near the church in partnership with the Rosedale Health Kids Initiative and one at the Mennonite Voluntary Service (MVS) house in partnership with the Rosedale Development Association.
VanderHeide, an MVS worker, works with the MVS garden. Not only did that garden turn a vacant lot into something life giving and vibrant, it also allowed MVS workers to make connections.
Through the garden and by sharing produce, VanderHeide learned more names of his neighbors in one week than in the previous nine months of living in the MVS house.
"This is incredibly important … because most of our congregants do not come from the neighborhood around the church, so finding ways to connect to our place is hard," he says.
Nicole Bauman, 26, also began community gardening as an MVS volunteer through her placement with the Elkhart (Ind.) Local Food Alliance.
In the spring of 2010, she began the Prairie Street Mennonite Church's Jubilee House Neighborhood Demonstration Garden. The garden extends all around the MVS house and garage—utilizing almost all the lawn space.
Bauman and others offer cooking and gardening classes to children and community members. They use recycled and reused gardening equipment, demonstrating how to garden with little space and resources.
When produce was ripe and ready, neighbors sometimes helped themselves—which Bauman says she was OK with.
"We encourage people to come and learn, but we are also OK with people taking [from the garden]," she says.
One Sunday morning at Lockport Mennonite Church near Stryker, Ohio, members munched on fresh salsa served with tortilla chips. The salsa was made from the tomatoes and peppers from the new garden at Lockport.
"[The salsa] was a big hit," says John Dinius, a Mennonite Youth Fellowship sponsor at Lockport last year.
However, the garden's intentions included more than snacks for church members on Sunday. After a group from Lockport read Why Jesus Crossed the Road by Bruce D. Main, members decided to use the abundant lawn space around the church to start a garden.
In addition to most of the salsa ingredients, the garden produced radishes, zucchini, squash, green beans and more.
Dinius encouraged members to pick the produce and share it with people at their work or their neighbors. Eventually, he hopes to donate produce to food banks and food pantries running low on fresh fruits and vegetables.
"Being a rural church with a strong agriculture background, Lockport could be a great resource to the community, with generations of knowledge available on growing and preparing fresh food," he says.
Lockport can look to Eighth Street Mennonite Church in Goshen, Ind., which shared some of 600 pounds of vegetables with the local food pantry, Harvest of Hope, this year.
After the demolition of rental houses on the lot a few years ago, the church considered the idea of a community garden. Ben Wiebe, a junior at Goshen High School, brought this idea up again last fall to benefit the Harvest of Hope Food Pantry, and the church formed a committee—now chaired by Ben and his grandfather Leonard Wiebe.
Due to the economic recession and the closure of several RV plants in the Goshen and Elkhart area, the need for dietary assistance has drastically increased. The Harvest of Hope Food Pantry offers food items to families in need. Eighth Street provides fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers that are less commonly donated.

DeMarcus Cousins was called for his 10th technical foul of the season with 7:21 left in the second quarter for shoving Philadelphia forward Evan Turner during the Kings 113-104 loss to the Sixers Thursday night at Sleep Train Arena.
Cousins would be suspended one game if he is called for a 16th technical foul. Players are suspended by the league for every other technical foul after their 16th.
Cousins has needed the NBA to rescind technical fouls in each of the last two seasons to avoid a suspension.
Obviously its concerning, said Kings coach Michael Malone. We hope he doesnt get to the limit where hes suspended but thats something we continue to talk about. And hes got to be able to harness his emotion and use it in a positive way and not allow it to get to that point because hes too important to this team. He knows that because we cant have him getting techs.
Malone also noted Isaiah Thomas, who picked up his second tech of the season, and Jason Thompson, who was called for a tech in Houston when saying the Kings need to do a better job of keeping their cool.
Thompson has four technical fouls, second most on the team. Malone has three technical fouls and Thomas has two.
*Thaddeus Young had six steals, including five in the first half. The five steals in a half, tying an arena record.
*The Kings have had 20 or more turnovers in three of their last five games. The Kings had 23 turnovers, leading to 27 points for the 76ers.

Five feet under Songtext5 feet under, he's got one foot in the grave
Would you look at him I think he's lost it
I don't think that he can be saved
He's got a downpayment on his tombstone
He's not alone his whole life has been out on a limb.
Just look at him, watch him get smashed and race bikes so fast
Just don't laugh, what will it say on his epitaph
Here he lies may he rest in peace
Hung on to life by the skin of his teeth
Pushing his luck thru the bottle he drinks
He's got a date with his maker and he
Doesn't want to be late and make no mistake
He's a good friend so why might his life
Have to end, my friend I don't want to see you dead
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!

BOSTON – In its first round victory over Boston University last Monday night, junior forward Jimmy Hayes scored the game-tying goal at 4:56 of the third period to tie the game at 2-2. Defenseman and fellow classmate Tommy Cross scored the game-winning goal at 3:17 of overtime to give the Eagles the opening round victory over the Terriers.
In the Beanpot title game Monday night, Northeastern senior forward Wade MacLeod tied the game at 6-6 at 18:14 of the third period to force overtime as the Huskies rode the momentum into the locker room.
But instead of playing the role of the spoiler against the Beanpot's most successful team last Monday, Hayes played the role of the hero in overtime.
After they got the puck out of Northeastern's zone, BC was able to use their transition game to its advantage to start the odd man rush. From there sophomore Chris Kreider got by the Huskies defense and fired the puck towards NU goalie Chris Rawlings, who made the initial stop, but Hayes was on the doorstep to bury the game-winner at 6:00 of overtime to give BC the 7-6 victory and its second consecutive Beanpot.
"I just went into the net hard with my linemates and they moved the puck to the outside," Hayes said about the game-winner. "[Chris] Kreider put one on net and I just went with my stick on the ice and I just banged home the rebound."
Often times you hear about local players in Massachusetts wanting to score the game-winning goal in the championship game of the Beanpot.
That story is no different for Hayes.
"It's a dream come true here," said the Dorchester native. "This is what I've dreamed of doing my entire life and I just got an opportunity and just tried to take advantage of it."
While he hasn't scored a game-winner at the TD Garden, Hayes' fellow linemate, Kreider has come through in the clutch when playing in the home of the Bruins. Last year, Kreider scored a highlight-reel goal in BC's victory over BU in the championship game, and Monday night, the Rangers prospect earned Beanpot MVP honors with his three-point performance (two goals, one assist).
But Kreider, a native of Boxford, praised Hayes for scoring the game-winner and his ability to use his 6-foot-5 frame to drive to the net.
"It's awesome. He's worked so hard and he really deserves it," Krieder said about his fellow linemate. "He really deserves every goal he gets. He works for every goal, he's stomping on pucks, he's getting to the right areas and he really wants to score goals and it shows."
While Hayes and the rest of the Eagles will be celebrating tonight's victory for about 24 hours in Chestnut Hill, the team will be back to work this weekend as they face the Huskies again for a key two-game series in Hockey East play.
NU will certainly be looking to bounce back and use this loss as motivation this weekend. Meanwhile, as hard as it sounds, BC will try to put another dramatic Beanpot victory behind them as we head towards the stretch run of the 2010-11 college hockey season.
"We have to carry this into this weekend," Rawlings said about his team on trying to put Monday's loss behind them. "We obviously have to work on a few things here in practice. But it's a big weekend for us, so we have to put this behind us and I feel like we need to try to take the momentum we grabbed from this game and into the weekend."
"It's going to be great to play a team three times in a row here," Hayes said. "It's kind of a playoff matchup here. You have three games in a [league] playoffs and its kind of an early playoff experience for us."

It's an overwhelming, immersive experience, a total creation of a possible future so complete that you don't need exposition to know how we got from here to there (2019).
Movie Metropolis
Stylistically, Blade Runner is the Citizen Kane of sci-fi movies.
Full Review | Original Score: 9/10
Scott's film may keep us at arm's length, but it holds us, too.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Blade Runner, which does not look one bit dated, envelops us so completely in its off-kilter, near-future world.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
Combustible Celluloid
The changes are minor, but the overall effect is a much cleaner, more logical, and more organically flowing movie.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/4
Blade Runner has only gotten better with time. Do yourself a favor and pass over anything new in theaters and go for this old classic, it still has the power to dazzle and amaze.
| Original Score: 10/10
San Francisco Chronicle
This definitive print should be the last little push that "Blade Runner" needs to complete its 25-year journey from box office failure to cult favorite to full-blown classic.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
Contra Costa Times
This "new" Blade Runner is still a science fiction classic.

My best friends boyfriend was there right before him and she got so many calls and letters. They both attended the same base. Should I be worried about our relationship?
Everyone is different and handles boot camp differently. There are people who don't talk at all and then there are those people who are nonstop talkers. The next time he calls or writes a letter to you, just tell him how you are feeling. Let him know that you understand he is busy, but a few more letters or calls here and there wouldn't hurt. I hope you and your boyfriend the best! :)
Anonymous said: My husband has NTC 2 months from now and he'll have his first deployment in June. He just told me he's getting depressed with all the works being done in preparation for NTC and deployment, and that I need to shush and stop bugging him about him not texting. We're not living together cuz I need to finish school at my hometown, everything is just frustrating. What should I do? :(
I know it's frustrating but the easiest thing to do is just talk to each other. It's the easiest thing anybody could do. Also around this time he may be incredibly busy with training and preparing to be shipped out so it's common to stress out and get depressed. All I could say is just talk about how things are and it'll work out for the best.

A relatively small but well-placed "For Lease" sign has caused quite a stir over the past week in downtown Mill Valley, with many longtime patrons of the left wondering if they'd soon be forced to look elsewhere for the bakery's tasty Jesuite pastries.
The sign, posted above the for a 2,200-square-foot restaurant space, left many passers-by, including nearly a dozen who called or emailed Mill Valley Patch inquiring about it, assuming it was for Champagne's space, which the San Marcos, Calif.-based chain has occupied for nearly 10 years.
It was - sort of.
"We need to explore all of our options for that space," said Christine Lum, the property manager reached when calling the number on the sign. "We're looking at finding the best use of the space."
But Morell Marean, CEO of Champagne, said his company is committed to working with the property owner and staying in Mill Valley beyond June 2012, when its current lease at 41 Throckmorton Ave. ends.
"We're committed to working with the landlords and we really want to reinvigorate our business in Mill Valley," said Marean, who took the helm of the company in March. "The people of Mill Valley expect and deserve high quality and we're investing tens of thousands of dollars to give them that quality."
That means a new paint job, an overhaul of the menu and a completely new coffee supplier through a partnership with Martin Diedrich, considered a pioneer of the coffeehouse phenomenon in the 1990s, Marean said.
"When I took over the company, I saw a tremendous opportunity to upgrade the quality of our offering, and that's what we're doing," Marean said, noting that he eventually hopes to expand Champagne in Marin beyond its locations in Mill Valley and Corte Madera.
"This is the first two of many more stores we hope to have in the Bay Area," he said. "The first step is reinvigoratig the business in these two sites."
Marean declined to comment on any negotiations with the landlord and what role the posting of the "For Lease" sign played in those negotiations. Lum said she had received a number of calls from interested potential tenants for the space.

Lake Nantahala Cabin Rentals(18)

Five Star Stay!
Dan & Sheyla, When it comes to first impressions, your cabin really nailed it! We found everything very comfortable and after a week in Nashville it was nice to finally get a good nights sleep on a real bed. Real log cabins are something else and you have a nice one. The weather was not the best on our visit, our first day it rained the half of the day but that was ok as Ellen had to visit the health clinic in town for an eye allergy. A big thanks to the girl at the bait shop for directions to a clinic! Thursday evening found rain cancelling a camp fire, sure glad the hot tub is under roof! Friday was forecast to be 80% chance of rain and was the sunniest day of all. The driveway was in good shape and we had no problem navigating in the mini van. Thank you! for sharing your cabin with us and our Abby dog, Jim & Ellen To add review to this note to the owner, We have stayed at many cabins since we explore different places. This Cabin was very clean upon our arrival and we found no bugs during our stay. It is a quiet secluded location, no need to lock your car. There is internet, satellite TV, hot shower, laundry and the water is good to drink with no shortage, hard to find all this in a secluded location! Supplies are not that far away if you forget something and there is a good variety at the cabin. The covered porch and split rail fence adds to the mountain experience. The owners called the cabin phone on our arrival day to check to see if we made it in and if there was anything we needed, nice folks! Owners are also well established in the area and are eager provide support. Great mountain view from the rocking chair, Can't wait to go back!
Absolutely clean,private & well stocked
This is by far the best cabin we have ever stayed in western nc. It's obvious that Debbie & Dave care very deeply for their guests. There is so much to do in the area and coming home after all the journeys was so peaceful and relaxing in this beautiful cabin.our search for the best cabin is officially over thanks to you guys!!!
This was our second time renting this beautiful home on Lake Nantahala. I say "home" because it truly is a home and not just a "house". Beautiful views, warm and inviting decor, everything that we could possibly want or need was available. Tammie, the owner, was EXTREMELY helpful and a joy to rent from. We had a large group of family this trip so one family rented the house right next door. We had 2 families in our home and everyone had plenty of room. The house next door was a wonderful compliment to our home and the 12 cousins (ages 4 - 18) had a blast going between the homes. They played air hockey and ping pong in our home and then would go next door to play pool and jump in the hot tub. We all enjoyed the lake immensely! We rented a pontoon boat from David and loved getting out on the beautiful lake. The kids swam, tubed, fished, kayaked, hiked and went zip lining. The teenage boys even kayaked over to the small island nearby and camped out one night. It was wonderful to see the kids (especially the teenagers) become "unplugged" and get outside and enjoy the lake activities. Everyone (kids and adults) commented that this was the BEST VACATION EVER! We hope to return to Nantahala Lake and this home again many more times in the future.

Q:I am looking for dry suit for the occasional time I may need to get under my jet boat in cold water conditions to clear the jet grate of grasses that plug it. I will only be about 3 feet under water for a few minutes at a time. What is your recommendation for this and will they keep me warm & dry. I am 6'4 215 lbs and a 32" inseam. What is my best size?Asked on 11/24/2013 by Erik
1 answer
A:Hi Erik!
Yes, this dry suit will keep you dry but to be warm you will have to wear warm clothes under the dry suit. So yes, it keeps you warm and dry given you are wearing warm clothes and you put on the dry suit over top of them. You will need a size Large. Medium will be too small for you.
Have fun and enjoy!!

Q:I'm 5' 10" and 140 lbs. what size should I get? Based on height, I should be in a large but my weight is 10 lbs below the minimum weight.Asked on 10/20/2013 by Bruno from Nor Cal
1 answer
A:Hi Bruno,
I am 5'8" and 165lbs and wear the Medium. There is definately room to spare from a height prespective so you being 5'10" shouldnt cause a problem. The medium is a good fit for me with room to move and I wear a size 40 dress shirt or suit jacket. The booties would easily fit a size 10 or 11 foot size. One thing i do want to mention is the arm length...the medium fits me perfect with the wrist gaskets right where they need to be. You being taller may find the sleeves a little short. Other than this i think the medium would work well for you. I think you would find the large very loose and baggy.
I am very happy with my drysuit.
Good luck.

Q:I'm 6'2", so I'd fit in an XL for hight, but for every other aspect, I'm a large. Will the large be too short for me? Would I have to sacrifice any layers to make it fit?
ThanksAsked on 7/15/2013 by Gavitron from Toronto, ON
4 answers
A:I am 6'2" and skinny, 165 lbs. The XL is HUGE on me, I think I could wear
a lot of warmth layers and still it would be huge on me. I think that is
the way dry suits are supposed to fit -- very loose (?). Hope this helps.Answered on 7/15/2013 by Anonymous

Q:Will this dry suit work well for scuba diving?Asked on 6/7/2013 by Roger Michaud from Long Beach, CA
3 answers
A:definitely NOT! scuba diving dry suits are designed for pressure at depth . They are equipped with an inflator valve that attaches to your tank to relieve suit squeeze and add comfort.Answered on 5/13/2014 by jixxer from puget sound wa
A:Roger, the drysuits we carry are designed for surface immersion. They are made with waterproof/breathable material for wearing comfort. While our suits have dive-quality zippers, suits designed for deep diving have heavier non-breathable material for those deep depths. So, short answer, we don't recommend it.Answered on 6/7/2013 by Clyde from NRS
A:Haven't tested it out at those depths so I'm not sure.

Comments about NRS Extreme Drysuit:
After trying a Kokotat product that had a neoprene neck (which leaked), I was quite happy to try the NRS suit. It was the lowest priced drysuit on the market that had latex seals at the neck and latex booties. Even though it's a large, and I'm a short 5'4" woman at 150 lbs, the suit fits quite well, just a little baggy in the legs.

Comments about NRS Extreme Drysuit:
I do sea kayaking in freezing water.. so it's kind of important that my dry is a real dry and it is ! Also it is breathable so I do not become all wet under it while paddling, which is great. However I did have some problem with the zip (hard to open/close) but is did fix it with lubricant so no more problems.
Service and delivery comments:
I ordered the dry suit on internet and I did choose the size with the sizing chart. I was between small and medium so I chose the largest one to put some clothes under it. However it was really too big for me. I wrote the NRS customer service and they quickly exchange it for the real size with no shipping costs. What a real good service ! Thank you!

Comments about NRS Extreme Drysuit:
The NRS Extreme Drysuit is my first drysuit. I researched other drysuits on the market and this suit is amazing not only cost wise, but durability. This is a warm, waterproof and very well made suit. I just did a dry run in my tub testing it for leaks and warmth. I filled my tub up with ice cold water and proceded to enter the tub releasing air pockets within the suit as I submerged into the cold water. My conclusions of this suit: Submerging my neck seal, wrist seal area and feet for more than five minutes, the suit did not leak at all. The suit is very warm and very well made. I am 6'2" 220 lbs., and I ordered the suit in XL. It is true to fit with plenty of room for extra warm layers underneath. I couldn't be happier with my purchase of my NRS Extreme Drysuit. Thanks NRS for a offering a great product at a very resonable price. AAA+++

BOARDMAN, Ohio - A rollover accident at the intersection of Market Street and Western Reserve Road sent one person to the hospital on Saturday.
Traffic was already backed up in the area after a power outage.
Traffic lights at the intersection had gone into a safety mode, flashing red for one road and yellow for the other.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol reports that the driver of a SUV was transported to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
The patrol says it made a few phone calls to the Ohio Department of Transportation which is responsible for lights at that location.
ODOT confirmed it did receive calls about two hours prior, but says its trucks are in Akron and it must call available engineers from a list on weekends.

Stranded with NO hotel stay tonight because Sky Auction reserved the wrong dates for me but I have a voucher with the right dates. I've never experienced such HORRIBLE service. The only thing they are doing is refunding my $$. Thanks for ruining my family's day Sky Auction!!! Add comment
