I think it's time all road users get breathalysed instead of focusing only on motor vehicle drivers.
On Saturday Shaya was lost for words after he found the gentleman in this picture drunk and asleep by the roadside at Makalamabedi village.
Poor donkeys had to wait in the sun while he enjoyed his sleep. Its about time government starts testing donkey and horse riders for alcohol too. Re ka lapa!
I was laughing out loud (LOL) when writing this. I couldn't help but to just laugh.
I thought it was so out dated to fight over a man but my two well known sisters in Gabs have proved to be still living in ancient times.
The two ladies are fighting a bitter one over a giant club owner.
A fly on the wall has told Yours Truly that one sister who is a music promoter and another one who works with a Television company don't see eye to eye to eye because of this brother.
Word doing rounds has it that the sister from a TV company recently hooked up with the club owner even though she knows too well that the music promoter once dated him..
The sister is alleged to have been spotted in one of the tourism areas with our giant bro all over each other this past weekend.
Maybe you readers can help Shaya out here,. When is it Ok to date a friend's ex- boyfriend because these two sisters were friends before?
A diamond company's employee baffled Police when he reported a theft that occurred in the house of God.
His normal Sunday worship turned into a nightmare when his iPad disappeared into thin air in the Holly house.
The 40-something father was shocked that he lost his gadget in the house of God. Shaya has a message to all church goers.
Petty thieves know no boundaries; in fact they see most of you honest church goers as easy gullible targets so be careful that your loud signing neighbour is not after your iPad. Amen!
Yours Truly has observed that a lot of times the incredibly talented Shanti-Lo is mentioned in the media he is referred to as a 'She.'
Does this mean Shanti had a sex change?
Still on exceptionally talented muso's, Nono Siile darling, what's delaying the release of your 'next' project which could have long hit the market last year-way before your house was set on fire?
Are you faced with financial constraints?
Women of Jazz, maybe it's time you extend a helping hand to one of you despite your unresolved differences.
I still wonder what really happened, but that's the topic for another day.
People always wonder what Shaya does in her spare time and to answer all those questions, I confess today that I am a loyal Botswana Television viewer.
I watch it like nobody's business. I don't really enjoy watching the station but I'm always looking forward to seeing every silly mistake they make and just laugh and forget about my busy newsroom.
Last week when I saw their worst gaffe I cried for the silly Chinese man who was identified as Peter Siele.
Come on guys! How could you do this to the poor man?
At first I thought it was just a minor mistake up until the wrong caption stayed on TV for two minutes, long enough for me to dash to the bedroom, fetch my phone and snap a picture of the transformed Peter Siele.
Hello Mr/Ms Btv editor is there any hidden meaning through this picture concerning Siele and the Chinese that we fail to understand.
Don't hesitate to call me if there is anything you know about the China man and our honourable minister please! Your secret is safe with me!

OSPITAL NG MAYNILA - Page 14
Register Today! - Jul 11, '10 by twinkletoes02hi.. i dont know any person inside OM.. when i passed it they told me to call after 2 weeks. we will see what will happen to my application after 2 weeks.. but i am hoping they will approve it and that i can be scheduled early..
- Jul 11, '10 by corpusclesi think they continuously accept the application papers of those who want to volunteer. the problem though is the lack of available schedule that will accommodate those who have passed their papers. you have better chances of securing a slot if you know someone from the hospital/city hall. just try passing your requirements as early as possible and follow it up with the telephone number that shall be given to you. Goodluck!

Paras prepare for future conflicts (From Gazette)

Colchester-based Paras have been training for the war aganist terror
11:46am Thursday 10th October 2013 in News By Caroline Tilley
PARATROOPERS took part in helicopter assaults and dealt with a rioting crowd... but it was all in the name of training.
The Colchester-based 2 Para battlegroup practised what they would do in the event of a terror attack at grounds in Norfolk.
The group is serving as the Air Assault Task Force, which is ready to deploy anywhere in the world at short notice.
During their two-week training, the paras had to extract European citizens from a fictional country threatened by terrorists. They had to protect an embassy against rioters who bombarded them with abuse, petrol bombs and missiles.
Soldiers also had to lead an assault on a village to free local police under siege from insurgents.
Private Daniel Lee, 20, said: "I've only been in 2 Para for eight months and this exercise has taken me a step up from what I learnt in training. We've really worked hard on a lot of different skills."
Lieutenant Colonel Adam Dawson OBE MC, commanding officer of 2 Para, said: "Combined with challenging and enjoyable training, it has resulted in a confirmation of our readiness for any challenge that may require our intervention."

You are deluded if you think your comment justifies violating international law and turning a country into a war zone, in which inevitably thousands of innocent men, women and children will perish.
Do some reading on the topic, Chalmers 'Sorrows of Empire' is a good place to start. The reasons for the Afghan invasion were myriad but they were not moral. You are supremely ignorant of the realities of geopolitics.

Yes there are countries that also treat women badly, would I say it's any worse then, my answer would be no, and Indian has lots of women in prominent roles which is simply not the case in Afghanistan.
I do not kid myself that it was moral, as I say they were using the country as a base to attack and successfully kill 1000's of innocent people, the fact that it has got rid of an incredibly oppressive regime (even if the current government is not exactly the greatest) is a bonus.
If you think "diplomacy and police work" would have stopped al Qaeda and Taliban your not just ignorant but mad!

Numerous variations of the staff pose can be found in our advanced training syllabus. These amazing stretches open both the outer hips and inner thighs and make poses like eka pada sirsasana, (foot behind the head) infinitely easier to accomplish. The extreme external rotation of the leg found in this pose will also create the requisite flexibility to flip the legs into lotus without using using your hands.

9 am and 2 pm Whale Watches - Joanne
9 am Trip
We left the harbor aboard the Tails of the Sea with very unseasonably
warm temperatures, light winds and calm seas, and a haze offshore. A few miles east of the Gurnet Lighthouse, we
passed a minke whale and a sunfish. We
continued through the southwest corner, the middle of Stellwagen Bank (where we
got a wonderful look at a seal eating a fish) and to the east, over 25 miles
without another whale sighting!
Coordinating our efforts with 5 other whale watching boats from 4 ports
we covered miles and miles of water; we finally got word of a small group of
minke whales on the southern edge of Stellwagen Bank. As we headed there, a pair of humpback whales
was finally located. We got to the pair and discovered it was a cow/calf humpback
pair (mom and baby); and while she had been seen the day prior, no one had yet
to identify her, so we were happy to do it.
Diablo was documented as a new mom and brought our total for the year to
28 documented cow/calf pairs so far this season. While she didn't raise her tail out of the
water, her calf threw its entire body, full breaching several times. It came right next to our boat, swimming
under our bow and around us, giving everyone on board a spectacular view of the
entire outline of its body and glowing white flippers.
We were lucky enough to spend about 30 minutes with the
pair, the entire time of which the calf was active at the surface, even as we
headed towards port, it continued to breach off our stern. Diablo's calf is approximately 5 months old,
having been born in the warm waters of the Caribbean during the winter.
Stellwagen Bank is a feeding ground and a nursery for humpback whales. Whales that are brought here as calves have a
very high likelihood of returning due to a strong site fidelity to their
mother's feeding area. Diablo and her
calf with spend the next 4-7 months together and then the calf will be on its
own, hopefully having learned everything it needs to survive.
2 pm Trip
Not far from Hancock, we had a cow/calf pair—Scylla and her 11th
known calf. Scylla was born in 1981 to
Istar and is the only other reproductive female documented in her lineage. She has 10 documented siblings, and while her
brothers Cloud, Littlespot and Tigris visit Stellwagen Bank occasionally they
prefer more northerly waters. In 2005,
she was the first documented cow/calf pair in the Gulf of Maine having been
sighted 41 days earlier in the West Indies, making the fastest documented
migration of a mother-calf pair in the North Atlantic. She is immortalized by a life size model at
the National Aquarium in Baltimore.

An excellent discussion on Press TV on the subject of the US/British destabilization campaign in Syria. One thing I would like to add though, at the end of the discussion, the panelists claim that the US is incapable of providing security in these countries after their initial destabilization campaign (regime change) takes place. That's not entirely true. They are capable of providing security, they just don't want to. The chaos that always follows these destabilization efforts is part of the process that's why you see it over and over again (that is, when the press reports on it which is extremely rare). Death squads are important. They clean the remaining society of dissidents and people who speak out against the puppet regimes that we put in place. The death squads take out potential political advisories to our favored politicians in local, regional, and national politics. We ran the death squads in Iran called SAVOK and we ran them in Indonesia under Suharto. The CIA has literally been in the business of running death squads for over half a century and probably even longer. The lie that the US is interested in creating "stability" in these countries has been exposed time and time again by the CIA's own documentation. They don't want stability, they want chaos and fear because in that they find the easiest means by which to impose their corporatist will on the general population.

"An exquisite cheesecake made with fresh rhubarb and finished with sour cream topping." — Inspired by Home Cooks
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1/2 cup butter
3 cups chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
So good and I don't even like rhubarb!! I used 4 cups of frozen rhubarb so I had to add 3 tablespoons of corn starch because I knew I would have lots of juice. I lined the pan with parchment paper and added a sheet of tin foil around the springform pan... just in case!! Next time I'll try fresh rhubarb! Thanks!!

Young athletes at risk for growth plate fractures
"Growing pains" is an expression used to explain rapid growth in adolescence. But for some -- especially those involved in sports -- it can be a serious injury when the growth plate in one of the long bones of arms or legs is fractured.
The growth plate -- otherwise known as the epiphyseal plate or physis -- is the area near each end of the long bones that is nonsolidified growing tissue, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Muscoskeletal and Skin Disease (NIAMSD). The growth plate is only found in children and adolescents. Adult growth plates have "sealed" and hardened into solid bone.
The Mayo Clinic reports these injuries need immediate treatment, since an injury to this area can affect bone growth. Improper or no treatment can cause a shorter or malformed bone in comparison to its opposite limb. However, the Mayo Clinic reports about 85 percent of growth plate fractures heal without surgery or complications if properly treated.
Take your child to the doctor immediately if he or she shows any of these signs:
•An inability to move the affected area.
•An inability to put pressure or weight on the area.
•Unrelenting severe pain.
Both the Mayo Clinic and NIAMSD report that falls and blows to the limbs cause growth plate fractures. The agencies list child abuse, injuries from extreme cold such as frost bite, car accidents, radiation and medications such as chemotherapy and steroids, neurological disorders, genetics and metabolic disease as causes.
The NIAMSD also said about a third of growth plate fractures are caused by sports such as football, basketball and gymnastics. Another 20 percent are the result of biking, skiing, skateboarding or sledding.
The cause of growth plate fractures are divided into two categories: a single traumatic event or overuse, according to NIAMSD. The most common areas affected are in the long bones of the fingers, outer bone of the forearm and in the leg's lower bones.
About 15 percent of children's fractures are to the growth plate and occur twice as often in boys, the Mayo Clinic said. Such fractures are most common from ages 9 to 15. Girls age 12 and older are less likely to sustain a growth plate fracture because they physically mature faster than boys and the growth plate has already "sealed."
Growth plate injuries are hard to detect on X-rays because the plates have not yet hardened into solid bone, according to the Mayo Clinic, though some doctors may X-ray both the injured and healthy opposite limb for comparison. Sometimes MRIs, CT scans or ultrasounds may be conducted.
The course of treatment depends on the severity of the injury, the Mayo Clinic states. Usually, a cast or a splint is sufficient. If the bone end has separated from the shaft, surgical repair is typical.
The Mayo Clinic suggests comparing the growth of the injured and health limb every three to six months for at least two years.

Tesco DVD Rentals
Date: 15/03/06
Advantages: Great Prices
Disadvantages: Should have more good old movies
Tesco's has a wide range of movies to choose from and their prices are great. Tesco's is nearly up there with Blockbusters as their prices are a lot better. The range of movies are good but that can improve as some DVD rental shops do have some old good films but I havent seen much at Tesco's.
The price is great especially their new offer where you only pay about £7 a month. The good thing about this is that you can rent out a lot of movies in a month. I think that Tesco's will beat any other rental shops when it comes to prices.
The delivery is good as they send out movies the same day you complete the transaction online. I have ordered a lot of movies and only one has gone not got to me. Tescos customer services are average and can improve especially with the waiting time.
Sometimes I have found it hard to get the new movies out as they are always rented out.
Overall, Tesco is an upcoming DVD rental service and soon will be excellent and will definitely beat Blockbusters with their great prices. I will keep on using Tesco's as I find their service very good.
Summary: Tesco provide great services and excellent prices

Wilders's success rests almost entirely on such strident rhetoric. To give an idea of the tone of his discourse in the Netherlands, he has called for a "head rag tax" on women wearing headscarves. He favors banning the Quran, wants to close Muslim schools but not equivalent Christian or Jewish ones, wants to force immigrants to sign "assimilation contracts," and wants to include the "Judeo-Christian character" of the state in the constitution.
But some Dutch analysts warn that it is a mistake to "blacken" Wilders's name too much or lump him with fascism or Nazism. "For one, he's not anti-Semitic," says Alfred Pijpers of the Clingendael Institute of International Relations in The Hague. Israeli officials have indeed privately commended him as "a friend of Israel." Pijpers says that Wilders has more in common with the Tea Party activists in the United States than with any old-style European right-wing party, because he can't really be classified as either right-wing or left-wing. His party has also embraced a left-wing populist defense of the Netherlands' besieged welfare system, and he scores points with his tough stance against crime, which he often links to immigrants.
His outspokenness has made him a hated figure for some Muslims, and he lives under constant police protection. Recently, an Australian imam called for his beheading, the last in a long line of threats. Wilders himself argued in July on the website muslimsdebate.com that he does not hate Muslims -- he just opposes Islam and wants Muslims to liberate themselves from its shackles. Strikingly, he seems to have formed his low opinion of Arab and Muslim societies at a young age when he visited both Israel and Egypt and contracted a stomach bug in the latter.
If his intention is to make the Netherlands a less attractive place to Muslims, he may be succeeding. In the months since the elections, unrest in the community has increased, and more are reportedly considering leaving the country. "I hear from many people that they don't feel comfortable. They don't feel that this is their country anymore," says Farhad Golyardi, an Iranian-born Dutch intellectual who heads an intercultural institute in Amsterdam.
Wilders's ambitions go beyond either Dutch or European borders. In July, Wilders announced that he was setting up a Geert Wilders International Freedom Alliance aimed at stopping Muslim immigration to the West. He designated the United States as one of five countries that were "ripe" for his alliance, and he may have had this confirmed at the 9/11 rally in New York. Says Golyardi, "He sees that there are people who agree with him all over the world, and he wants to provide an umbrella for them, to found an anti-Islam international."
High-profile international sallies appear to be part of Wilders' strategy. During a June 2009 visit to Denmark, he said on Danish television that "deporting millions of European Muslims may be necessary." Earlier he had caused international concern over a possible repeat of the Danish cartoon riots in the run-up to the release of his widely hyped anti-Islam film Fitna in 2008. In the end the video compilation of familiar anti-Islam snippets was a dud. Wilders also gained some notoriety when he was banned from entering Britain, where he had been invited to show Fitna in the House of Lords. The ban was later reversed.
So Dutch politicians across the political spectrum breathed a sigh of relief after Wilders's New York speech. His most notable one-liner was a warning that "New York, rooted in Dutch tolerance, will never become New Mecca." Earlier, Wilders had even appealed to mainstream opinion in the United States and Europe by opposing the planned burning of the Quran in Florida, even though he has compared the Quran to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.
Such newfound mildness plays into assertions by some Dutch politicians and analysts that once Wilders has been co-opted into the system, as he now is, his sharp edges will be blunted. It may also indicate that above all else, Wilders is a wily politician who is gunning for more influence, both internationally and in the Netherlands. The mildness detected in his New York speech was at the time taken as a green light for the other parties to proceed with the talks and eventually reach an agreement with him.
Of course, both left and right fear serious damage to the Netherlands' reputation abroad now that Wilders is somehow involved in the government. "I abhor the image that the Netherlands will get internationally," Peters, the GreenLeft MP, told The National. Even the Christian Democrat leader and outgoing foreign minister, Maxime Verhagen, was worried ahead of Wilders' speech in New York, cautioning him to be "responsible" while at the same time begging for his support in parliament.
But now Verhagen says that his Christian Democrats and the Liberals, the two parties that are forming the government, have "sharp differences of opinion" with Wilders on the subject of Islam, but that this not an obstacle to their effective cooperation.
It is indeed the willingness of Dutch mainstream parties to be pulled into Wilders's orbit that most appalls his opponents. "I'm not just upset with Wilders; I'm much more upset with the established parties," says Brahim Bourzik, a Muslim politician who is the former city councilor of Rotterdam. And Peters calls on Arab and Muslim countries to raise the issue of Wilders's role in government with Dutch representatives to "shake them awake." Judging by Wilders's smooth rise thus far, a whole lot of shaking may have to be done.
*This sentence has been updated to clarify that the funds were given to support Wilders's legal defense, and not to support his political campaign.

Nalbandian Wins Season Debut In Sao Paulo; Alund Upsets Chardy
Sao Paulo, Brazil
by ATP Staff
David Nalbandian won his 2013 ATP World Tour season debut on Wednesday in Sao Paulo, defeating qualifier Jorge Aguilar 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 in the first round of the Brasil Open 2013.
Nalbandian hit 11 aces and capitalised on four of his five break point chances to advance past the Chilean in two hours and 12 minutes. The two were facing off for the first time.
Lucky loser Martin Alund upended fourth-seeded Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(5) in two hours and 36 minutes to reach his first ATP World Tour quarter-final. Alund had posted his first tour-level win in the first round when he beat Ricardo Mello. Chardy committed 16 double faults in defeat.
Albert Montanes started his 10th Sao Paulo campaign with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Paolo Lorenzi of Italy. The 32-year-old Spaniard is No. 8 among active players for clay-court match wins, with a 169-148 record.
Just three days after he lifted his first ATP World Tour title, at the VTR Open in Vina del Mar (d. Nadal), Horacio Zeballos retired due to nausea and fatigue in the third set of his match against Paul Capdeville. The Chilean qualifier was leading 6-7(5), 6-0, 3-0. Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo also retired with a right ankle injury after he lost the first set 7-6(6) versus Joao Souza.

To sialylate, or not to sialylate: that is the question
Trends in Microbiology, Volume 10, Issue 6, 1 June 2002, Pages 254-257
Eric Vimr and Carol Lichtensteiger
AbstractMost oropharyngeal pathogens express sialic acid units on their surfaces, mimicking the sialyl-rich mucin layer coating epithelial cells and the glycoconjugates present on virtually all host cell surfaces and serum proteins. Unlike the host's cells, which synthesize sialic acids endogenously, several microbial pathogens use truncated sialylation pathways. How microorganisms regulate sialic acid metabolism to ensure an adequate supply of free sugar for surface remodeling is a new area of research interest to basic scientists and those focused on the clinical outcome of the host–pathogen interaction.

Role of Altered Sialylation of the I-Like Domain of β1 Integrin in the Binding of Fibronectin to β1 Integrin: Thermodynamics and Conformational Analyses
Biophysical Journal, Volume 99, Issue 1, 7 July 2010, Pages 208-217
Di Pan and Yuhua Song
AbstractN-glycosylation of the I-like domain of β1 integrin plays an essential role in integrin structure and function, and the altered sialylation of β1 integrin regulates β1 integrin binding to fibronectin. However, the structural basis underlying the effect of altered sialylation of theβ1 I-like domain on β1 integrin binding to fibronectin remains largely unknown. In this study, we used a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy analyses to investigate changes in binding thermodynamics and in conformation of the glycosylated β1 I-like domain-FN-III9-10 complex caused by altered sialylation of the β1 I-like domain. Binding free energy analyses showed that desialylation of β1 I-like domain increased β1 integrin binding to fibronectin, consistent with experimental results. Interaction analyses showed that altered sialylation of the β1 I-like domain resulted in significant changes in the interaction of the N-glycans of the I-like domain with both the I-like domain and fibronectin, and these changes could directly affect the allosteric regulation of the interaction between the I-like domain and fibronectin. Altered sialylation of the β1 I-like domain caused significant conformational changes in key functional sites of both the β1 I-like domain and fibronectin. In addition, altered sialylation of the β1 I-like domain resulted in changes in the degree of correlated motions between residues in the I-like domain and residues in fibronectin, and in the degree of motion changes in fibronectin, which could affect β1 integrin binding to fibronectin. We believe results from this study provide thermodynamic and structural evidence for a role of altered sialylation of β1 integrin in regulating β1 integrin binding to fibronectin and it's induced cellular activities.

CD8 Binding to MHC Class I Molecules Is Influenced by T Cell Maturation and Glycosylation
Immunity, Volume 15, Issue 6, 1 December 2001, Pages 1051-1061
Mark A. Daniels, Lesley Devine, Joseph D. Miller, Janice M. Moser, Aron E. Lukacher, John D. Altman, Paula Kavathas, Kristin A. Hogquist and Stephen C. Jameson
SummaryCD8 serves both as an adhesion molecule for class I MHC molecules and as a coreceptor with the TCR for T cell activation. Here we study the developmental regulation of CD8-mediated binding to noncognate peptide/MHC ligands (i.e., those not bound by the TCR). We show that CD8's ability to bind soluble class I MHC tetramers and to mediate T cell adhesion under shear flow conditions diminishes as double-positive thymocytes mature into CD8+ T cells. Furthermore, we provide evidence that this decreased CD8 binding results from increased T cell sialylation upon T cell maturation. These data suggest that CD8's ability to interact with class I MHC is not fixed and is developmentally regulated through the T cell's glycosylation state.

Sialic acids in human health and disease
The surfaces of all vertebrate cells are decorated with a dense and complex array of sugar chains, which are mostly attached to proteins and lipids. Most soluble secreted proteins are also similarly decorated with such glycans. Sialic acids are a diverse family of sugar units with a nine-carbon backbone that are typically found attached to the outermost ends of these chains. Given their location and ubiquitous distribution, sialic acids can mediate or modulate a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. This review considers some examples of their established and newly emerging roles in aspects of human physiology and disease.

Fear and Desire
The genesis of a genius.
The H-Bomb: Whenever someone compiles a list of the all time greatest filmmakers, there are certain names that absolutely must appear on said list for it to have any credibility with serious film buffs. Names the likes of Orson Wells, Alfred Hitchcock, Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, so on and so forth. These aren't simply directors who have made good films, they are artists with a style so distinct, that, to the initiated, their work is immediately recognizable. What also sets these filmmakers apart is that their films are highly influential, not only to their contemporaries, but to the generations of movie makers who come after them.
Of all the auteurs, living or dead, who have made a substantial impact on the medium, the one who has been the most stylistically distinctive, and perhaps the most influential, is Stanley Kubrick. In fact, in my ever humble opinion, I believe Kubrick is the greatest artist to have ever picked up a film camera. The man didn't just work in cinema, he was cinema. He made films in just about every genre in existence, and to one degree or another, mastered each one with a level of skill that us mortals can only admire and envy. With his heist thriller The Killing, he utilized the cyclical, Tarantino-esque non-linear story structure years before Tarantino was even born. With The Shining, he made one of the greatest horror films ever. With 2001: A Space Odyssey, he made the greatest science fiction film ever. I could keep going, but you're probably anxious for me to get to the point.
Why am I prattling on about the late, great Stanley Kubrick? Because this past week was an important one for his admirers and film enthusiasts in general, as it saw the Blu-Ray release of his up-until-now very elusive debut feature, Fear and Desire. How elusive was it? Well, it had never been available in any home viewing format, and I had never met anyone who had actually seen it. Why was it so difficult to come by? The answer to that is simple, Kubrick absolutely hated it. He loathed it, he was ashamed of it, he was embarrassed by it, and he made every effort imaginable to track down and destroy all known prints of it in existence.
His efforts in suppressing it were effective, as for a period of time, the film was believed to be lost forever. However, there was at least one print that eluded him, and now Fear and Desire has been restored by the Library of Congress and is available in a pristine High Def presentation. So, how is it? Well, it's certainly not an awful film, though I can see why Kubrick would feel otherwise, but it isn't a particularly good one, either. I would say that Fear and Desire is, more than anything else, strictly a curiosity.
A kind of surreal, allegorical war film, it tells the story of four soldiers stranded in a forest, behind enemy lines in an un-named country (San Gabriel Mountains, California). There's the square-jawed, by-the-book commanding officer, Lt. Corby (Kenneth Harp), the crass smart-ass Sgt. Mac (Frank Silvera), the nervous young Pvt. Sidney (Paul Mazursky), and the underwritten Pvt. Fletcher (Stephen Coit).
The soldiers plan to escape by following a river that will take them back to their own company. So, they build a raft and decide to wait until after dark to go out on the river. In the meantime, they discover a house by the river that's occupied by an Enemy General (also played by Kenneth Harp), as well as his top Officer (also played by Stephen Coit). Sgt. Mac is struck with a strong urge to assassinate this General, as he feels it's the only chance he will ever have to do something important in his life– a not entirely credible motivation that represents just one of many Fear and Desire's script problems.
The General's house is well guarded, so killing him will take planning. But before the soldiers can map out a strategy for that, they encounter a local peasant girl who's apparently a mute. Figuring she could come in handy should they have any run-ins with enemy forces, the men take her prisoner and tie her to a tree. They then head back to the river to hide the raft until nightfall, leaving the jittery Pvt. Sidney to guard the woman, which could be a mistake, as the young Sidney is becoming increasingly unhinged.
In fact, being this deep behind enemy lines is taking a psychological toll on all four of the men. Will they be able to keep their shit together long enough to whack the General and hightail it up the river, or will they be overtaken by their own fears and desires?
Shot in stark Black & White, which looks absolutely gorgeous in High Def, Fear and Desire does work as an early showcase for Kubrick's incredible visual style. Working as his own cinematographer, Kubrick composed every single shot meticulously, and his ability at creating striking images is undeniable. I think anyone would agree, the man had a remarkable eye from the outset.
Where Kubrick stumbles with Fear and Desire, is with the story. Now, many elements that are prevalent in his future films are present here; the cynicism, the irony, the muted emotions, and the lack of sentimentality. What Kubrick also demonstrated in his later projects was a firm grasp of the story he was telling and a clear idea of what he was saying with it. Sadly, with his debut, he didn't seem to know what he was saying or why.
Clearly, the film is attempting to convey an antiwar message, but the narrative is so muddled and abstract that it has no impact whatsoever. I remember, by the end of Paths of Glory, feeling like I had been slammed in the gut with a rifle butt. But when Fear and Desire came to the end of its scant 60 minutes, I just shrugged my shoulders and thought to myself, "So… war is bad… I guess…"
Kubrick confuses the film's theme even more with the odd surreal touches, like having Harp play both Lt. Corby and the Enemy General, and Coit playing Pvt. Fletcher and the Enemy General's Officer. I'm guessing it's meant to be some kind of metaphor about how all men are, deep down, all the same, regardless of where they're from or what side of a conflict they're on… or something… whatever the intended "meaning" might have been, the execution is clumsy and it doesn't come off as thoughtful or profound. Instead, it merely comes across as gimmicky and a tad silly.
This brings me back to something I brought up earlier, the screenplay, by future Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Howard Sackler (The Great White Hope), is a ponderous, meandering mess that is often laughable. The narration that opens the film just slapped me across the face with its utter pretentiousness and almost lost me from the get-go. Here's a sample: "There is war in this forest. Not a war that has been fought, or one that will be, but any war. And the enemies who struggle here do not exist, unless we call them into being." Ugh, makes you want to take a bayonet to yourself, doesn't it? These philosophical jibber-jabberings pop up throughout, and while they don't ruin the picture entirely, you will be tempted to hit the mute button whenever they surface.
Sadly, the horrendous voiceovers are not the only flaws plaguing this script. There's also the sequence in which Pvt. Sidney is guarding the peasant girl they've taken captive. I won't say what goes on in this scene, just that it's very bizarre, and Mazursky's performance is so manically over-the-top I'd swear he's playing it for laughs. However, the music score that plays over the scene is dead serious and dramatic, suggesting that the scene itself should be taken as such.
Another sequence where I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be laughing or not, was when the Enemy General is gravely warning his pet Doberman about the evil spirits in the forest that might try to possess him. Then the General goes on to suggest that the dog is already possessed by these spirits and is possibly a spy. Again, I would assume this is an attempt at humor on the parts of Kubrick and Sackler, but the actor plays it so straight, that it seems like they're once again trying (and failing) to achieve some level of profundity with this portentous drivel.
While I'm on the subject of the actors, I should point out that they do okay, given the circumstances under which they had to perform, which were less than ideal. See, Kubrick fired the sound man early in the shoot, so the actors actually had to record all of their dialogue during post-production, where they not only had to concentrate on their line deliveries, but also on matching their words to their lip movements on screen. So, while the performances are passable (Silvera and Mazursky come off best), they most likely were somewhat compromised by the situation.
And if I were to sum up Fear and Desire with one word, compromised would be as good a word as any. Compromised by a script that tries way too hard to be "deep," and by a budget that's too low for the film's ambition. However, while Kubrick's debut may have been compromised, I wouldn't consider it a failure. It's not quite a good film, but it is an important one, and a definite must see. Kubrick was merely a genius-in-progress when he made it, and while it does have its share of flaws, it is, like every Kubrick film that came after it, a very unique, one-of-a-kind picture with a very unique, one-of-a-kind vision. As a piece of cinematic history, Fear and Desire is very much worth giving a curious look, just remember to keep your expectations in check when you do.

I have the following line in /etc/aliases, convenient for certain list subscriptions. ;-) devnull: /dev/null Exim4, however, doesn't like this, complaining that file_transport router isn't set. No problem. I see in 400_exim4-config_system_aliases that I need to set SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE_TRANSPORT, so in update-exim4.conf.conf I add this line SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE_TRANSPORT='address_file' and run update-exim4.conf. (Note that much of this is Debian-ism.) But that doesn't have a noticeable effect. Is this not the intended way to update these things? I have found lots of exim4 docs, but I haven't found any that outline exactly how to interact with the Debian configuration scheme. Thanks much for any tips. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://jeff.purple.com/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:

Comments about LOST BAR NONE BOARDSHORT:
For taller guys who don't like boardshorts that cover the knees but who also hate banana hammocks, these shorts are perfect. They are comfortable, high quality and stand out in the crowd. They also dry pretty quickly. My favorite pair of boards to wear to the beach!

I have to apologize for the (very) lengthy and probably overly-detailed response I provided earlier. I fear I may have added to the confusion by providing more information than was needed.
Just in case it might help, here are a couple of examples of the lens information available from a popular online retailer (B&H), and I'm pretty sure B&H got this directly from Nikon literature. To find this data, simply click on the "Specifications" tab on the B&H web page for a lens:
Note that I own Nikon equipment so I don't normally look at other lenses and I'm not sure if other manufacturers routinely provide exactly the same information - but I would be very surprised if the information isn't available from their websites, if nowhere else.
The first lens is a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 and you will notice that it lists Format Compatibility as as "Nikon FX/35mm Film" [full frame] along with "Nikon DX" [APS-C]. The next row down is Angle of View which shows "46°" for the FX, and "DX Picture Angle: 31°."
The second link is to a Nikon 70-300mm zoom lens. Again the Format Compatibility lists both FX and DX. The Angle of View shows 34°-8° for FX and 22°-5° for DX. All the cameras specify whether they have FX or DX sensors. If you review more Nikon lenses, you will find many that list Format Compatibility as DX only, so these will have only the DX AOV figures shown.
As stated by others, what really counts is what you see when you look in the viewfinder. However, sometimes in order to make a decision about what lens you might want to consider (when you don't already have one in that focal length range), it can be useful to know the angle of view as well as other specifications. Hopefully, having this information readily available to you will simplify things for you.
Good luck,
Richard Baker

This was my first chat room experience with PopPhoto. I learned a few things: Be very clear about the question or the subject. But if replies come in from left field, be patient - eventually someone will figure out what you really mean.

Program Notes
In Voodoo lore, Baron Cimetiere is the loa (spirit) who is the keeper and guardian of cemeteries. Depictions of him are, needless to say, quite chilling. He is usually pictured in dark tailcoat and tall dark hat – like an undertaker – wearing dark glasses with one lens missing. He carries a cane, smokes cigars, and is a notorious mocker and trickster. (The Haitian dictator 'Papa Doc' Duvalier is said to have imitated the Baron's sartorial style in order to intimidate any opponents who were practitioners of Voodoo).
I first came across Baron Cimetiere in Russell Bank's fascinating novel Continental Drift, which deals with the collision between American and Haitian culture during the "boat people" episodes of the late 1970s and early '80s. Voodoo is a strong element of that novel, and when my mambo began to take on a dark, mordant, sinister quality, I decided to link it to the Baron. Baron Cimetiere's Mambo was commissioned by Neil Jenkins and Nikk Pilato for the J.P. Taravella High School Wind Orchestra; Coral Springs, Florida.
