THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE is an odd little indie comedy about karate. I wondered if it would be too similar to THE FOOT FIST WAY, the early Danny McBride movie that jibed so well with my sense of humor that when I first rented it I watched it two times in a row. Come to think of it, this movie's sensei (Alessandro Nivola, AMERICAN HUSTLE) has a philosophy of punching like a kick and kicking like a punch, whatever that means, and that could be called a "foot fist way." But this is a very different movie. The humor is very dry, the dialogue seems precise as opposed to improvised, and the protagonist is a timid nerd who transforms rather than a blowhard who is just a total asshole from the beginning.
The timid nerd is Casey Davies (Jesse Eisenberg, CURSED), an awkward accountant for an unnamed company. The bros in the break room don't appreciate him trying to join their conversations, his best friend is his dachshund, and he gets stomped by random motorcyclists while trying to buy dog food. I love the slightly surreal touches that convey his loneliness: the news report that describes him as "a 35 year old dog owner," the robotic answering machine voice that says "you have only 1 message." (Though not obviously tied to a specific time period, it's one with audio cassettes, fat-ass analog TVs and large camcorders with carrying bags.) (read the rest of this shit…)
VERN has been reviewing movies since 1999 and is the author of the books SEAGALOGY: A STUDY OF THE ASS-KICKING FILMS OF STEVEN SEAGAL, YIPPEE KI-YAY MOVIEGOER!: WRITINGS ON BRUCE WILLIS, BADASS CINEMA AND OTHER IMPORTANT TOPICS and NIKETOWN: A NOVEL. His horror-action novel WORM ON A HOOK will arrive later this year.

Usually, when someone refers to sleep cues and clear signals that the baby is tired, they think of yawning and perhaps eye rubbing. Some signs you may not be aware of though are nose scrunching, ear pulling, anything that has to do with rubbing the face, jerky movements and refusing to look at you. It's easy to miss some of the signs of fatigue, but if your baby is doing any type of rubbing or pulling, they're definitely tired. Don't wait for a yawn.
A lot of babies seem to go from happy to upset at the drop of a hat, they are probably very good at hiding their fatigue. Sometimes when they start to have feelings of being tired, they'll push through those feelings with perhaps more active play and maybe even get a little hyper. They'll kick into 'overdrive' and almost become a bit manic. That squirmy baby, the one who doesn't want to sit on your knee, doesn't want to stand up, arches their back, crawls around very quickly, laughs one moment and cries the next is a tired baby and ready for sleep.
If your baby is happy one second and crying the next, you might have to keep more of an eye on the clock than you do on your baby. For example, a three-month-old baby can handle about an hour and a half of awake time. If she woke up at 8 am, then by 9:30 am, she's most likely ready for a nap. In this case, even if they're calm and happy and not showing any sleep signs, I always suggest that it's better to put them down too soon rather than too late. Sometimes the calmer the baby goes down, the faster sleep comes and it becomes an easier transition for them.
Keeping an eye on your child's individual sleep signs, along with the clock for those who don't show any clear signs, will definitely help your child sleep well.

The Quebec government's decision to gather no data about the race of those infected with COVID-19 has disappointed activists and community organizers, but it hasn't surprised them.
The health ministry has walked back a statement made earlier in May by public health director Horacio Arruda that such data would begin to be collected.
"We were expecting that," said Fo Niemi, executive director of the Center for Research-Action on Race Relations (CRARR).
The government is refusing to collect the data for ideological and political reasons, Niemi suspects.
"[Dr. Arruda] gave a scientific answer but, from a government that doesn't seem to understand Montreal, we were expecting a step back," Niemi said.
Quebec health officials have long been hesitant to gather race-based data, citing concerns over security, confidentiality and discrimination. Some academics and researchers say the collection of race-based data without context could fuel racism, but experts contacted by the Montreal Gazette say that the benefits outweigh the harm.
Officials in Manitoba and Toronto say they are collecting race-based data around COVID-19. It is relatively easy to collect, said Dr. Jay Kaufman, a professor in the department of epidemiology, biostatics and occupational health at McGill University. In Manitoba, health officials who contact positive cases ask them to self-identify. They can also ask other questions to build a data pool that will show the profile of those more likely to test positive for COVID-19.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that Canadians of colour and new immigrants are bearing much of the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic, but hard data is lacking, according to Tiffany Callender, the executive director of the Côte-des-Neiges Black Community Association.
"There are clearly inequities. There are clear disparities," she said. "Race-based data fills in those gaps, but I think it also puts the emphasis on the government to understand that a one-size-fits-all approach or response to these inequities doesn't work, and COVID has kind of highlighted that."
The virus has shone a spotlight on vulnerabilities in Quebec society. It struck ill-prepared long-term care homes, killing thousands of seniors. From there, officials believe it hitchhiked on orderlies and other front-line workers who brought it home to such communities as Montreal North and Côte-des-Neiges. It spread easily through those communities, experts believe, because many of the residents work in jobs where isolation is difficult or impossible.
Montreal North and Côte-des-Neiges are home to people from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. If officials had known that COVID-19 would wreak havoc in those neighbourhoods, they would have been able to respond more quickly and their response would have been tailored to the affected communities, Callendar said. Masks could have been distributed, community outreach could have started.
Officials should have known the virus was going to hit minority communities and prepared them, Callendar added.
"(Race-based data collection) should have been done before, because then in the case of a crisis, you have it," she said. "Now that we're here, it should definitely be collected because this would help them respond much better as a government."
If ever Quebec does begin to collect race-based data, it will likely show disparities between groups and could be politically damaging, Callendar said, but officials will be able to use it to tackle institutional negligence and flaws.
While maintaining that the collection of race data must be treated with "prudence," the health ministry said Thursday it was hoping to work with Montreal public health to perform interviews and analyze cases to see "whether ethnocultural status is a risk factor in cases of COVID-19 in Quebec."
Community groups and activists don't want to wait.
Niemi said CRARR was working to organize an imminent meeting between community members and health officials to "demystify" the idea of collecting race-based data and explain why its collection is important.
Callendar said the Côte-des-Neiges Black Community Association and other organizations will begin collecting the data on their own.
"We'll show the government what it means when you collect race-based data and how you can react more effectively."

Nakiri / Vegetable
What is Nakiri Knife -
Literally meaning "vegetable knife" in its original Japanese name, it is specifically for cutting vegetables. It is suitable for chopping and dicing ingredients because there is no tip and the blade is straight. Historically, it has been used on a daily basis by general population as it was designated as the easy-to-use knife for everyone. The blade has no curvature and the straight blade is easy to sharpen and handle. Unless the person is familiar, it is often hard to cleanly sharpen a knife with curves; however, there is no worry with this type of vegetable knives.

Normally I'd ask this from fusionuser but as their site is down, I'm asking
from you all.
In www.jgtemplates.com there is one template, "Earthly Wedding". It is
possible to buy for html, FP or DW but naturally I'd need it to be for NOF.
I have one customer in mind to whom I could sell site made by this template.
I'd buy template from jgtemplates in that form which is most easy to
transform for NOF and then send it to this person who'll change it. It would
be very nice if templates flash gallery would be operational or I could use
NOF's flash gallery inside that template.
So is there anybody who would like to do this and if yes, how much it would

Last weekend THE GLOSS hosted a very special Wine Series Dinner at the luxurious Dromoland Castle …
One of Ireland's most luxurious hotels, historic Dromoland Castle in Co Clare, was the setting for last weekend's special Wine Series Dinner hosted by THE GLOSS – the first ever outside Dublin. It was the perfect spring escape in spite of the rain and snow, combining delectable wines and delicious food with great comfort and service. The highlight was the six-course wine dinner in the elegant Earl of Thomond Restaurant on the Saturday evening when THE GLOSS wine editor Mary Dowey introduced a superb champagne and five outstanding wines, each one chosen to complement an exquisite dish by Dromoland head chef David McCann enshrining the first flavours of spring. An earlier tour of the Dromoland wine cellar and a short wine tasting on the Saturday afternoon followed by post-prandial drinks meant a leisurely breakfast in a Dromoland four-poster was just the perfect start to Sunday.

The shadow culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, today ruled out ripping up the BBC's royal charter and licence fee agreement, saying this could threaten the corporation's impartiality and ability to hold politicians to account.
In an apparent u-turn on earlier comments by Hunt and his Conservative colleagues about their plans for the BBC should the party win next year's general election, he said a future Tory government would not impose a freeze on the licence fee before it is due to be reviewed in 2012.
He said it was important the BBC should not operate under the threat of its funding level being reviewed on a year-by-year basis, which he said would threaten its impartiality and ability to hold politicians to account.
"We will respect the principle of multi-year [funding] settlements," Hunt told a Voice of the Listener and Viewer conference in London. "That's not to say when there has been a sudden deterioration in the economy the BBC should not do the decent thing and waive the rise in the licence fee."
Earlier this year Labour and Lib Dem MPs voted against a Tory motion in the House of Commons to reject this year's £3 annual increase in the licence fee, freezing the charge at £139.50.
Hunt said he still thought it was wrong that the BBC should get an inflationary rise in the licence fee at a time when there was no inflation.
Asked what sort of funding settlement the BBC could expect under a Tory government in 2012, Hunt said: "It would be wrong for an opposition party to go into any sort of detail. I haven't had any representations from the BBC or any discussions about what level the next licence fee should be.
"All we have said is that in the current climate we think it would be very difficult to ask for an increase in the licence fee. The reason for that is partly the economic situation… and partly there is a growing imbalance between the income going into the commercial sector and the BBC."
Hunt said the Conservative party still had "serious reservations" about the BBC's governance and regulatory body, the BBC Trust, but added he had "no plans to tear up the BBC charter".
The shadow culture secretary had said in an interview last month that he was "looking into whether it would be appropriate to rip up the charter in the middle of it or whether one should wait".
The BBC's current royal charter, the 10-year agreement with the government that sets out the corporation's public service remit and the scope of its activities, is not due to expire until the end of 2016.
"We have no plans to tear up the BBC charter. We do have some serious reservations about the way the BBC Trust operates. We did look at the BBC charter but we concluded we can achieve some of the things we want to achieve under the existing charter structure. Others will have to wait until it comes up for renewal. We have no plans to touch the BBC's charter," he said.
He said the BBC Trust, which replaced the board of governors in 2007, had not worked because of confusion over its regulatory role and as the corporation's sovereign body.
"If fails from the BBC's point of view. If you are running an organisation of 23,000 people you need a board that you can turn to for advice when you go through a difficult patch," Hunt added.
"I think [BBC director general Mark Thompson] would find his job a lot easier if he had a non-executive chair that was on his side. That [change] could be done without a change in the BBC's charter."
Thompson, speaking at the VLV conference earlier today, said the BBC would look at cutting back its spending on its internet and digital services after digital switchover in 2012.
Hunt said he had never called for digital channels such as BBC3 and BBC4 to be axed. "All I said is where you have a digital channel that has got a very small audience then the BBC needs to make a better case than it has done for those channels," he added.
"I have specifically not said we would close BBC3 or BBC4 for the reason I don't think it's for politicians to tell the BBC what channels to broadcast or programmes to show. Those channels cost around £100m each to broadcast – that's very expensive. The BBC needs to make a case for them."
Hunt said the Conservatives also had no plans to relax impartiality requirements for news channels such as Sky News.
And he again rubbished suggestions of a contract between the Tories and News International. "There is absolutely no question of News International dictating our media policy. David Cameron wrote an article in the Sun a year ago defending the principle of the licence fee," he added.
"That's not something you do if you are trying to suck up to the Murdochs. We determine our media policy on what is best for the public."
Hunt also backtracked on his suggestion that BBC News should "actively look for some Conservatives to be part of their newsgathering team" to counter an "innate liberal bias".
Hunt said today: "I made a flippant comment which I'm sure will be carved on my epitaph. I don't think the BBC should employ anyone based on their party political affiliation."

Thanks to Jay Markanich for his sage advice regarding the proper care and handling of your home's roof. Just remember, a power washer is not always your friend.
This is a simple post about common sense. How to knock 10 years off your shingled roof's lifespan in 90 minutes. And how? By knocking off the shingle granules!
Getting home I heard it. A pressure washer was nearby. I have written posts before about pressure washers. They damage houses. Especially decks. It may be alright to lightly pressure wash a deck, after other cleansers have been used, but in my experience I don't see a light pressure used, or a wide nozzle.
But this pressure washer was across the street. And looking, I feared it was being used on the roof!
Our neighborhood has experienced severe roof algae problems (called "stains" by the HOA) and most everyone has gotten notice to clean their roofs.
This particular neighbor unfortunately looked at my ugly roof for years! And they apparently also saw my experimentation on cleaning it, and the final result when I developed a formula that worked.
Walking around back I saw what I had heard.
My neighbors were pressure washing their roof!
(So much for getting advice from their friend, the home inspector, across the street!)
Look at this photo.
The nozzle is right against the shingles, it is a 10 degree nozzle (which highly ramps up the spray as it focuses it more narrowly), and the over spray indicates that very high pressure is being used. I watched him absolutely massacre the rubber collar on the roof vent!
Suspecting that the pressure was too high when I saw the big-box-store machine in the front yard, I could only shake my head.
What may seem like a good deal really, really is not!
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer's Association (ARMA) has an article on cleaning roof algae here. Notice the last line: "High pressure washing systems for algae removal should not be used." Believe me, 4200 psi is very, very high pressure!
Even when you go to a typical homeowner site, like here, roofing professionals all say not to pressure wash!
1. It is removing the protective granules from the roof shingles, blasting them away! Those granules will typically wash away with time anyway, due to rain. Why speed up the process so dramatically?
2. This process uses water. If rain spreads the algae, called gloeocapsa magma, pressure washing will not kill it. Gloeocapsa magma is a VERY aggressive algae that attacks the limestone in the roofing granules. It adheres to those granules and does not give up easily. This process might make the roof look temporarily clean, but it is not getting all of the algae. It will return, with a vengeance!
3. True damage is being done to the roof shingles, and any roof penetration. Literally this pressure is washing years off of the roof's future!
4. My formula cleaned my entire roof for $35! Does any other process, including this guy, cost $35?
All the roofing manufacturers say to use a formula that combines chlorine and TSP. I used the environmentally-friendly tri-sodium phosphate powder in my formula. A biochemist friend told me that the TSP bonds with the algae, causing it to release from the limestone, so it can be killed by the chlorine. The TSP remains on the roof, bonded also to the limestone, kind of providing an additional protective coating.
My recommendation: when you want to do a homeowner project, consult with a home inspector! We are an informed group, have no financial interest in offering advice, and will never steer anyone toward doing something that benefits the home inspector!

GM potatoes 'could protect against hepatitis B'
Scientists in the United States have developed a potential vaccine against hepatitis B by genetically modifying potato plants.
The modified plants produce one of the hepatitis virus's proteins, which might be enough to boost the immune systems of people eating the potatoes and protect them from infection.
The researchers at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York, found signs of immunity in 60 per cent of the 42 people they tested it on.
Hepatitis B severely affects the liver and kills one million people each year. Many of these are in developing countries, where buying and storing the existing vaccine can be prohibitively expensive. The simplicity and low cost of an edible vaccine would make it ideal for global immunisation programmes.
The prototype needs more testing, and there are questions over whether the recently tested vaccine boosted people's immune system strongly enough. But Yasmin Thanavala and colleagues, whose results are published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, are confident it will lead to an oral hepatitis B vaccine that could be given as a capsule or powder.

Animation Fundamentals: Timing and Spacing
by CGAfrica in Tutorials,
on February 15th, 2017
To download the rig used in this tutorial visit this link: Ball Rig
Timing and spacing is really one of the easiest principles to understand when described properly. However, it's probably one of the most difficult principles to get right in an animation. Having a basic knowledge of how this principle works, and understanding the description of it in the 12 Principles of Animation doesn't always relate to implementing it properly into an animation.
As you can see from the image above, timing refers to how long the action takes, and spacing refers to where that object is at each frame of an animation. Since film is run at 24 frames per second (FPS) you use this as the building block for your timing.
If you have an object moving from point A to point B in 24FPS that means it takes the object one second to reach point B. Spacing refers to where that object is at between the other 23 frames. Depending on where you position the other 23 frames can give the illusion of acceleration, deceleration, or a constant even speed.
In the video example above, the ball moves at the exact same timing throughout. In the first two examples the ball takes one second to reach point B. However, by simply adjusting the spacing of the ball between the other 23 frames it can drastically change how the object moves through space. In the second example it takes the ball 12 frames or half a second to get to point B. By simply adjusting the spacing it makes the ball appear to move faster and slower. This should give you an understanding of how important the principle of timing and spacing is to your animation because both timing and spacing describes the speed of an action or movement.
To understand timing and spacing more thoroughly, the best place to look for examples is not in other animations, but rather in real world reference. After all, the principle of timing and spacing is derived from how people and objects move in the real world. Once you understand how timing and spacing works outside of pencil and paper or mouse and keyboard you'll have a strong point of reference that you can hang a hook on, and you'll understand why this principle is so important to your animations.
Every movement that you make in the real-world can be broken down into timing and spacing examples. Every time you reach for your phone to look at a text message what is the timing on that movement? To move your hand from the mouse to your phone did it take one second, maybe two? Or maybe it was really important so it only took half a second. To break this down even further, what is the timing on how long it takes for you to press a key on the touch screen of your phone? Maybe a quarter of second? Or maybe it takes a full half a second because you're knew to texting on a touch screen.
You can see how important timing and spacing is because it really describes the speed of every single action, whether it's big or small. It also can show the thought process for someone. If a person takes a full second to press a single key on their touch screen you probably know they aren't familiar with typing on a phone.
Whereas somebody who zips through the keys has probably done this many times before. Right there, that simple timing difference can describe someone's current state of mind. If it takes that person one second to type each letter on the touch screen you probably know they aren't very tech savvy.
As you start to dive deeper into animation, this is something you'll have trouble getting out of your head because now everytime you go out into public you're going to be examining every person's movements and running through the timing and spacing scenarios in your head. This is both a gift and a curse for an animator!
As you can probably already tell by now, but timing and spacing is extremely important to your animation. Not only does it describe the speed of an action, but it can give thought and motivation behind your character. Going back to the phone example again, just by adjusting the timing of how long it takes the character to press a key it can completely alter who this character is. By showing that the character is slow at texting will give a cue to the audience that this person may have never used a cell phone before.
While timing and spacing is really one of the simplest principles of animation in theory, it really is the building block for your animation, because without good timing and spacing it's hard to find a good animation underneath. That's why it's the first principle you need to understand as an aspiring character animator.
You may be wondering where the cliché ball bounce exercise comes into play in all of this? That comes later, no need to worry! While the ball bounce exercise is the best way to get an understanding of timing and spacing it's important for you to look beyond that. Yes, timing and spacing is there to help create believable and realistic movements based off the real-world but it's also your job as the animator to use timing and spacing to show emotion in your character and give them thought behind their actions. It's also the best way to create more appeal in your animation. The sooner you understand this, the easier the animation exercises will get as you dive deeper into character animation.
The ball bounce will still be used as the exercise for timing and spacing because it really is the foundation for all animations. Without good timing and spacing the ball bounce won't feel like a bounce at all as you'll find out a little later. But it's important to understand that timing and spacing really serves two functions. The first obviously being it's there to create movement that obeys the laws of physics and the other function is to add interest and appeal to your animations.
For the exercises in this article we'll focus on timing and spacing to create realistic movement. The second function can be saved for "Advanced Timing and Spacing" later in the character animation series, but it's still important you keep the second function in the back of your mind as you continue your journey through the Character Animation series.
So with everything said, how can you know what good timing and spacing is? Well, a lot of it comes from experience. As with anything, you'll get better at it the more you do it. However, one of the best ways is to look at real-world reference. Since this principle is based off movement in real-life it's logically the best place to learn about it.
So studying reference and learning about the importance of timing and spacing and how it works is vital, but how do you actually implement it into your animation in the 3D application? That can be the most difficult part.
That's another reason why the ball bounce exercise should be the very first animation you ever tackle because not only does it require you to use the fundamentals of timing and spacing but it also gives you a broad view of the 3D application and the tools needed to properly adjust both the timing and spacing of an animation.
You learn how to set keyframes but also use the Graph Editor or Curve Editor (Depending on your 3D application) to adjust the spacing of the animation.
You'll discover more about this in the tutorial below:
This tutorial will be done in Maya, but you should be able to follow along in any 3D application as long as you know how to set keyframes and use the application's Graph Editor or Curve Editor.
You can download the ball rig used in the tutorial at this link: Ball Rig
In order to really grasp the concept of timing and spacing take this time to create two of your own ball bounces. The first is a ball bounce that resembles a bowling ball. The second ball bounce should resemble a beach ball. This will ensure you're comfortable with not only creating the timing but also adjusting the spacing to mimic these objects in real-life.
Use the principle of timing and spacing that you learned in this article to create different styles of bounces. Watch the video below to see how the animations should look: You can research video reference to get an idea for the timing.

However, Morata's agent confirmed the striker has received TWO "interesting" offers this summer.
Asked about United's interest, he said: "It's an amazing club, a very interesting option.
"All I can is that it is a very interesting and now the decision lies with Real Madrid.
"We'll see."
The Gunners have been linked with signing a striker this summer and have even seen a £87miliion offer rejected for Monaco youngster Kylian Mbappe.
However, the Gunners are also interested in signing Alexander Lacazette and reports claim Arsenal are considering a swap deal and are ready to lose Olivier Giroud in the process.

Battle of the plunging gowns: Tricia Penrose and Gillian Taylforth enter the Celebrity Big Brother house in VERY low cut numbers
Over the next two weeks they will be sharing the 2013 Celebrity Big Brother house with females half their age.
But proving age is truly nothing but a number, both Tricia Penrose and Gillian Taylforth opted to take the plunge as they made their way into the star-studded house.
Leading the way, Tricia, 42, sparkled in as jewel embellished gown complete with a thigh high split while Gillian, 57, chose to wow in red.
Scroll down for video
Sparkling! Tricia Penrose was the first housemate to walk into the 2013 Celebrity Big brother house after Rylan Clark and Frankie Detorri decided she should stay in luxury accommodation
Battle of the plunging gowns: Tricia's revealing dress was quickly matched by Gillian Taylforth's red number
Showing off her legs and her chest Tricia, 42, grinned as she was chosen as the first person to set foot in the house, rather than the dingy basement after first housemates Rylan Clark and Frankie Dettori decided her fate.
Perhaps it was the dress or the fact fellow housemate Paula Hamilton looked like she was dressed for a gardening party than a star-studded entertainment show which made mouthy Rylan and jockey champ Frankie chose the Heartbeat star.
The pair have to decide who goes into the ice hotel and who will sleep in the dingy Celebrity Big Brother basement.
Ready to go! Tricia said she was always game for a laugh
At least she knows noone is wearing the same dress this evening! Tricia Penrose poses up with Brian
Tricia, who said she is often criticised for her outfits, certainly looked amazing in her grey gown.
The thigh-high split showed off her deeply tanned legs with her scoop-neck top showing off her rather large chest.
Wearing her hair down in loose curls styled in a centre parting, Penrose accessorised her look with a large gem encrusted bracelet and drop earrings.
Dazzling: The 42-year-old wore her hair down in loose curls as she accessorised with gem encrusted jewellery
Someone's in a good mood: Tricia could barely contain her excitement as she stood at the top of the stairs
Leading lady: Tricia was the first female contestant in the house after Paula Hamilton was sent to the basement.
VIDEO 'You ain't dressed for no basement'. Tricia pleased to be in glam house
Host Brian Dowling even joked: 'Did you get those for Christmas?'
Tricia, who famously wore the same dress as reality star Amy Childs earlier this year, vowed to be a housemate who always spoke her mind.
She scrubbed up well! Gillian looked amazing in a plunging red gown
Gorgeous: The 57-year-old opted to keep her make-up light as she showcased her svelte frame
Slinky: Gillian Taylforth looked stunning as she entered the CBB house
Luxurious ladies: Tricia and Gillian looked pleased with Rylan and Frankie's decision not to send them to the basement
The battle begins: The TV stars both made sure that their best assets were on display
Sending the model to the dreaded basement, Rylan said: 'We're really sorry to have to do this. I'll be completely honest, Tricia seems like a right laugh. You can't really judge on a video but it'll have to be Paula.'
Former Heartbeat star Tricia was later joined by actress Gillian Taylforth, 57, who looked stunning in a floor-length red dress as she admitted she was feeling the nerves.
Competition is on: Gillian and Tricia both seem keen to show off their amazing figures
Spilling out: Tricia almost reveals a little bit too much while Gillian looks on
Busting out: Tricia seems quite content by the fact that she's revealing a lot of cleavage as she chats to Claire
The EastEnders actress showcased her slim figure in the slinky red number.
Visibly shaking, she said: 'I think I'll be a good housemate because I love a good chat. I don't suffer fools gladly and I hate rudeness. I'm very excited about going in, but I'm also nervous.
Daring: page 3 model Lacey Banghard wore a black crocheted ensemble which put her lingerie on display
Woman in black: Steps' Claire Richards took to the red carpet in a sequinned dress with peep toe heels and long leather gloves
Getting along: Gillian and Tricia greeted Lacey with a warm welcome as they chatted away
Hitting the bubbly: Claire and Tricia wasted no time grabbing glasses of champagne to calm their nerves
A house full of ladies: Following their quick decision making Rylan and Frankie are the only male contestants in the luxury house
'I've got used to slapping people in EastEnders. Kathy Beale would just tell people where to go and slap them with a frying pan.'
Gillian was also one of the lucky ones who got to wander upstairs, while Neighbours star Ryan Maloney was sent to the basement.
Following Rylan and Frankie's harsh decisions, Tricia and Gillian were joined in the luxury house by Page 3 model Lacey Banghard and Claire Richards of Steps.
Squalor: Six of the twelve housemates entering will be forced to live in this basement
Ice chair: Channel 5 have revealed a snap of the chair ahead of the launch on Thursday
The full line up: Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, Paula Hamilton, Claire Richards, Rylan Clark, Lacey Banghard, Ryan Maloney, Sam Robertson, Tricia Penrose, Frankie Dettori Mbe, Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag and Gillian Taylforth (L-R)

Jennie Ottinger
Jennie Ottinger makes small-scale paintings and drawings based on images that she finds while scavenging through newspapers, encyclopedias, textbooks, and historical image bases. The drawings are archived and pulled as needed to combine into groups of several pieces that form a loose narrative. The end effect attempts to capture that moment immediately before or after a pivotal event, the tension in that fleeting period of silence and stillness. The unfinished quality lends to the uneasy stillness by making them seem interrupted, as if something sudden and significant occurred.
Jennie is a San Francisco based artist who has exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. She has a BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts, a BA in Art History from the University of the Pacific and received an MFA from Mills College in May of 2008.
The show at Conduit Gallery will be her first in Texas.

No News Is No News
Across the city and county of San Francisco, from the UC nurses in a Sunset coffee shop to the couples sitting in Buena Vista Park, from the cubicles of the Financial District to the warehouse offices of South Park, from the tents of the opera's opening night to the sex clubs South of Market, nobody -- absolutely nobody -- is talking about the goddamn alligator-in-the-Presidio news story. Never did.
Going for the Fat-Free Gold
The cheers drift down the street-size hallways of the Great Mall of the Bay Area, past the Garlic Shoppe and Salsas, Etc!, past Giftables and Great Nails, even echoing past Bugle Boy and the electric train store, clear down to the Food Court. These are not simple gosh-it's-great-to-be-in-a-Milpitas-mall cheers, either. This is the newest rage in team sports, soon to be an official Olympic event. This is the U.S. National Aerobic Championship Pacific Regional competition, the offspring of a 1970s housewife flab-fighter exercise regimen and oh, I don't know, a social Zeitgeist obsessed with its own abs?
Sponsored by fruit juices, heart rate monitors, and timing devices, the "three days of exciting events" race along at breakneck speed. Saturday afternoon is devoted to solo female competitors. The sole vendor booth bristles with packages of Fat-Free Quaker Caramel Corn Cakes; people walk around wearing jackets that say things like "Santa Barbara Sport Aerobics Team." Ambient smells shift from hair products to vanilla to bananas. Lots of sinew, lots of teeth. The noisy mood approximates a church revival meeting, where a booming "Be gone, flab of Satan, we denounce thee!" would not sound out of place.
As near as one can tell, the aerobic champion hopeful seems to dance/work out for one song, which is judged by a table of stone-faced people. Each routine begins identically, the woman addressing the crowd with a graceful sweeping bow, like a matador thanking everyone for showing up to the bullfights. The song kicks in, she hops around, blows kisses, shoots imaginary six-guns, does somersaults and splits, hits a few one-handed push-ups and G-rated crotch views, nails a few kicks above the head, whips out lots of cheerleader hand gestures, and tosses out a sassy wink, like something your frisky aunt would do after six or seven whiskey sours.
All the while, a muffled sound system pumps out tunes like a disco version of the theme from The X-Files. As dutiful husbands stand in the back videotaping the whole deal, the front row roils with aerobic team members, who holler like angry chimps whenever their teammate hits a certain move. One man in spandex shorts and a tiny beard is red-faced, screaming, "GOOOOOOOOO!" at the top of his smoke-free lungs. And throughout each routine, the entire room claps along.
Across the hallway in the train store, a potbellied man with a striped brakeman's cap sits behind the H-O scale track, watching his train dart around the plastic cows and trees. Maybe he's just taking a breather, before coming back to watch the finale, where all the women will be led through an energetic 10-minute precision routine by a clean-cut guy in a one-piece jumper. But who are we to judge this newfangled sportaerobics? For all we know, the Olympic Games of ancient Greece were rife with oil-slick athletes in form-fitting sashes, kicking up their sandals in sync for the pleasure of Zeus.

52nd Congress of the European Regional Science Association: "Regions in Motion - Breaking the Path", 21-25 August 2012, Bratislava, Slovakia
Regional economic development is driven by the accumulation of production factors. More traditional factors like labour and physical capital are accumulated under the law of diminishing returns. This, in turn, allows less developed regions to better perform. Recent branches of theoretical and empirical literature have paid attention to the role of increasing returns in an attempt to explain the persistence in regional economic disparities. Increasing returns are commonly attributed either to the accumulation of non- traditional inputs such as human and knowledge capital or to the presence of local externalities generated by the spatial concentration of economic activities. The aim of the present paper is to address the importance of both decreasing and increasing returns for the economic growth of European regions. While economies will definitively converge in the long-run if production is characterized by decreasing returns, divergence is the likely outcome in presence of increasing returns. As regional growth is probably the result of a combination of both, from a policy perspective it is important to understand where the sooner stops and the latter starts. In this paper the economic performance of 186 European regions is analysed by using the ordinary growth regression approach. An empirical specification which simultaneously accounts for the presence of both decreasing and increasing returns is derived. The study is intended to examine the extent to which regional development originates from the (un)balance between convergence, driven by diminishing returns and divergence, boosted by increasing returns. Results indicate that the accumulation of traditional inputs leads the economic development of less favoured areas while the presence of increasing returns plays a more crucial role in developed regions. More in the detail increasing returns seem to be generated by the accumulation of knowledge and human capital while there is no clear evidence of agglomeration externalities. By using a non-linear specification for the growth equation it is also found evidence of important threshold effects in entering the stage of development characterized by increasing returns. Regional development process is accordingly depicted as a far more complex process than what the simple dualism between increasing and decreasing returns may help to figure out, with very important implications for policy.

what is happiness ?? , how one can find it? and what is the ultimate source of happiness??. we often come across this question but we don't know the exact answer. happiness is not an attribute which can be inherited or imbibed it is also not a material which one can buy, then what exactly happiness is ?.
happiness is nothing but a state of mind in which an individual may live in delighted irrespective of the problems, dearth, and discomforts he is surrounded with. happiness is something which can be seen in an above-given photograph where there is no feeling of earthiness, they don't need gadgets to smile, they don't even need a mobile phone for a group selfie. the kids are happy because they want to be, happiness is nothing but the feeling of gratitude and abundance even in the lackings and materialistic dearth.
Many of us who are rich, successful and fulfilled are also sometimes unhappy. This is caused due to negative thoughts and feelings which cannot be conquered though we possess every known source of happiness. In order to be happy you have to learn to appreciate the simple things of life, hence the intellectual and enlightening idiom mentioned in the beginning of this article.
Real happiness comes from simplicity and we all should strive to live as simple a life as we can. Take one day at a time and try to make everyday life a sweet, simple and charming affair. Let go the bonds of complexity that hold you down and you will realize that though it is simple to be happy, its not at all difficult to be simple too. Humility and submission to God is the first step towards simplicity. No point being egoistical because life is a mystery and what is today may not be tomorrow. So live one moment at a time enjoying and celebrating it to the full. Every second of the ticking clock should remind you to smile more, love more and to serve more because who knows you might not have the next moment.
You do not need anyone or anything to be happy. If you have a simple heart you possess all the ingredients needed for the wonderful emotion and feeling which is elation So let go of all the tentacles of worry, anguish, and sorrow and let your heart sing like the nightingale. You will be surprised that you really needed only your own self all the time to be eternally happy and satisfied because you realize that under the false wrappings of social conduct you truly are a simple childlike person with a sincere and faithful heart which sees only good in everyone and everything. In conclusion, it is so true to say that keep a green bough in your heart and God will send a singing bird.

Where is the best place to get started to better understand the uploading of LOINC information into an LIS. I have gone through the Essentials, but still not quite understanding what that process is. Also, we recently got a file from our reference laboratory (Mayo) with information on our send out tests, but it DID NOT contain the LOINC codes. If they had a file that did contain their LOINC codes, how would one upload that into the LIS? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam Author Posts Viewing 1 post (of 1 total)

This posole verde is made entirely of pantry ingredients with zero chopping or prep. Throw everything together, let it simmer for just a minute, and enjoy it over rice, on its own, or with tons of chips for dunking!
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 chicken bouillon cube (use veggie for a vegan version of this dish)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cans hominy
- 1 can pinto beans, drained
- 12 ounces salsa verde (this jar is from Trader Joe's)
- 14 ounces canned diced green chilies
- toppings of choice such as lime wedges, cheese, cilantro, red salsa
- Heat a deep-sided skillet to medium-high heat with the oil. Add the bouillon cube, cumin, and oregano. Stir to coat the spices in oil and break apart the bouillon cube.
- Add the rest of the ingredients: hominy, beans, salsa, chilies.
- Stir to combine, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the posole verde for about 15 minutes, stirring every once in awhile.
- Serve as desired. As a soup/stew with fun toppings, with chips for dipping, in rice/burrito bowls - anything you like! ENJOY.
Don't drain anything but the beans - use the rest of the liquids!
Let this simmer a bit longer for a thicker stew.
I use mild salsa and chilies for kid palates, but add spice with either of those ingredients, or add hot sauce at the end!
Stirring in leftover shredded meat of any kind wouldn't be a bad thing.
Here's the pan I use.
Here are some other Mexican favorites that are frequently on our table.

If spring came but once a century instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all the hearts to behold the miraculous change. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Spring migration 2015 began in grand fashion. It was without doubt the best migration in my fifteen years of birding. On Wednesday, May 6th, following a great early morning encounter with a bunch of Warbling Vireos at the Mystic Lakes small pond,

when I arrived at Mount Auburn Cemetery, Al Parker, security guard and keen birder, informed me that the royalty of spring migration, the Cape May Warbler, was being seen in the area of Bigelow Chapel, on the tree next to the Colossal Sphinx. Also on the same tree and in that area an Indigo Bunting, another migration prize, was being seen. This was exciting news. In my years of birding, I had only seen the Cape May maybe three times, with a couple of so-so photographs. Same with the Indigo Bunting. You just didn't see much of these two species. Hearing that both were on hand, I was galvanized. Here was my chance, maybe…..hopefully…..to finally get a good look and some good photographs of one or both species. I spent an hour at the tree next to the Colossal Sphinx and though I didn't see either the Cape May or the Indigo Bunting, I did have some great moments with a Black & White and Northern Parula. While photographing these two species, Al Parker drove up and said the Cape May, in fact several of them, were now in trees on Cedar Ave, a short walk from Bigelow Chapel. I quickly made my way to the knot of people looking up into the trees and within thirty seconds had my closest look ever at His Majesty Cape May. In another part of the tree was a second Cape May. I watched and waited and soon one of them dropped down and was on a branch in the open. I was able to get maybe six photographs before it flew farther up in the tree.

I was thrilled. At last a good Cape May photo op. I stayed in this area of Cedar Ave. for about three hours. There were plenty of chances to photograph the several Cape Mays that were on that tree and a couple of others near it. In addition to the Cape Mays, there were the ever-present Yellow- rumpeds, Black & Whites, Northern Parulas,

The Tennessee Warbler, another less-seen migrant, was visible often on a flowering tree on Central Ave. and the Nashville Warbler was also seen in the area. It was the most intense three hours of my birding life thus far. I left the cemetery at 4PM, thoroughly exhausted from this adventure. And looking forward to the next morning, hoping lightning would strike twice.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'High Definition' started by buck135, Sep 14, 2016.
I have one. I'm looking forward to getting this set.
It's my least favorite of the three. Argento removed much of the humor and used more of Goblin's music.
I don't have a 4K player yet but didn't want to pass up this set which still includes 5 standard blu-rays.
Argento's use of Goblin's music can be very hit and miss. It's a shame that's the cut getting a 4K scan. I'm curious to see how it looks though.
I agree about Goblin's music for the film. To me, this piece is irreplaceable in the film:
While it is classic I must say that piece of music isn't really my thing. Sounds like something I'd hear watching Charlie Chaplin.
I just recently upgraded to a uhd blu-ray player & tv. Have been blown away by how good my standard blu's look on this new setup, it is terrific. But as for uhd blu-ray's, I've only seen one so far, Labyrinth. Was totally engrossed and excited by how that looks with HDR activated...beyond words. A must see to believe!! I honestly think HDR is more the reason for that mind blowing visual experience, not so much just the added resolution (Netflix looks great in 4k, but not anywhere near the level of a disc with HDR enhancement). Now I want everything I own on an HDR enhanced 4k disc...it never ends!!
Not seeing HDR on this upcoming Dawn of the Dead release or the previous Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Not to mention Argento cut-only on 4k import. I'll just keep praying the USA labels will start opening the floodgate on releasing retro horror titles in 4k with HDR. They will be phenomenal!!
Yeah, imagine how Suspiria would look with HDR
I agree that HDR is one of the bigger advantages over blu-ray, since we also get better contrasts and shadow details, making darker scenes better etc, and also no annoying banding artifacts.
An example of banding:
The back cover of the set has been revealed:
So the extended version is going to be the "Cannes" cut, not the 156 "Ultimate" cut. With these European releases you're not always sure what you're going to get from press releases alone.
Amazon.it told me to make sure the funds are there 'cause it's shipping soon. It's been far too long for me since I've seen DotD and I've never seen Argento's cut, so this should be fun. Love Goblin. Kinda tempted to watch it full frame like the good old days.
I guess so, at least according to that back cover which comes straight from Amazon.it. I posted the announced specs back at the end of September earlier in this thread, and the Cannes cut was listed there as the longest cut appearing in this set.
I've personally never seen the 156-minute cut though, has it ever even been officially released before on a home video format?
No, it's a fan edit titled "The Extended Mall Hours Cut." All of the scenes from all of the cuts were combined. I managed to snag a decent dual layered copy several years back, but this new 4K set is going to put that DVD out to pastor. It's on YouTube if you want to take a look:
From my understanding all the home video format releases of it are unofficial, most of them from Germany (well Austria), and I'm guessing Rubenstein had finally laid down the law because they haven't pop'ed up for years and years. Way back when someone made me a DVDR of one such disc, but it's not on my bootleg shelf so I'd have to start from square one myself if I wanted to see it. I think I watched it, and as I recall, the snippets of extra dialog where in German. And at over two and a half hours it does become somewhat tedious. There's some extra nudity though? Maybe? Or am I just thinking of the better DVD transfers revealing nipples that were always there just unnoticed?
As I said, way too long since I've revisited. Watching thee ol' Savini Fangoria doc again on the Just Desserts disc this past week has really given me the itch though! This release's timing could be better for me. Going to have to throw on Day too.
You are correct about the 156 minute cut only being released in Germany and Austria. I never noticed any German in the fan made Extended Mall Hours Cut. The scene with Gaylen Ross sitting up in bed with Flyboy determines on which transfer you're watching. Some are brighter than others. I have never seen nudity in any other scene in the film.
I ordered the set; there's no telling when this Rubinstein joker will ease up on his demands that someone pay him a fortune for the rights for a Blu-ray upgrade in the US. Nobody told him to blow 6 million dollars on a 3D conversion nobody asked for or wanted.
The whole thing is so strange to me. Who puts up their own money to convert a film to 3D? Lucas didn't even do that with the prequels, for which he certainly afford a loss (which he didn't despite the less than stellar results on Episode 1). I've said this before, Rubinstein is a very smart businessman, albeit shrewd and unlikable.
I'll have to wait and see reviews. I have burned copies of the Japanese set because I wanted the other versions in HD but I wasn't willing to dish out what they were asking. Turns out they're pretty mediocre (definitely a step up from SD) but I wanna see how this set looks.
I actually really like the Argento cut.
Don't think I'd be able to sit through a 156 minute version, though. The movie is long enough as it is.
The only time I complain about long movies is when I'm not watching them.
Just watched Polanski's Tess 2 months ago. It's 3 hours. Felt like it was over in half that. (Hell, I watched Mick Garris's The Shining last month and that's 4 and a half hours long. Again... time went by like nothing.)
I actually really like Tess. It's a gorgeous film.
