Increase production efficiency with 5' wide CFP60"s.
Introducing CFP60"s™, a new line of 60-inch-wide hardwood plywood from Columbia Forest Products. Produced on Columbia's innovative, new proprietary production line, these five-foot-wide panels can dramatically improve yield and reduce labor costs... which just happens to help improve profits. In fact, they're the ideal option for manufacturers looking to lower raw material and labor costs, as well as reduce waste.
Of course, having greater yield doesn't mean much without quality. And like all Columbia products, CFP60"s are of superior quality. They're available with either particleboard or MDF cores and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology. Plus, they're available with most major rotary and plain sliced veneers, as well as paper backing, for options that make them perfect for almost any project.
And with optimizing software, CFP sales reps and product engineers can assist you in determining the right combination of CFP60"s and standard four-foot panels to complete your projects with minimum waste.
PureBond® CFP60"s
For specifications calling for formaldehyde-free hardwood plywood technology, Columbia offers PureBond® CFP60"s which are constructed with no added urea-formaldehyde (NAUF) MDF. As with our entire PureBond line, these panels are compliant with LEED® NC 2.2 credit EQ 4.4 calling for composite panel products with no-added urea formaldehyde.

-- -- -- -- that New Orleans institution.
Cafe Dumont open 24 hours every single day except Christmas and today take a look at these pictures New Orleans has cleared out.
Bart bin -- as vice president cafe du -- joins us by phone.
From New Orleans Berger thanks for being -- whether you know I think the entire country is -- -- New -- you guys took it on the chin -- 05 Katrina will want to get hit again.
When did you close cafe Dumont and when you hope to open again.
Well we closed BR -- paid a month last night.
About though at 10 o'clock last night we think everybody you know we cleaned up and everybody home and we're open to -- open again not Thursday morning there's just gonna wait for the thing to -- then.
To get back below recent wary do -- every day.
Where's the bigger risk.
Doing without any business -- actually weren't about physical -- you have to above board up the windows what do you do to prepare.
Well -- you know are really our our biggest worry is there's.
There's -- -- really.
That certainly does -- think we did to prepare is though we gave we gave all our employees the chance to go home.
To to take care -- -- you know make sure that that.
That that everything at state that there -- home.
And and you know from from our perspective you know with what we did to prepare.
But yet we did board up put up a few windows but some of the other building -- -- -- brief -- through Katrina though.
Note that the another -- another another encouraging to hear that -- so -- it is the tropical storm.
And we demand to you know the bitty -- government.
You know just that -- dude you've been evacuated buddy yet to be prepared.
You know prepare -- your home then and be prepared this stuff.
Just that they don't have built on built don't -- defense you know in the rain event that it now.
My biggest -- however is that it is this storm surge water.
You know window when the rain when it does Ali third grade in the city in oil and and at the -- them come in -- Citi.
You know high water.
Coming in the gulf -- so we we.
You know we did have -- Army Corps of Engineers that dumb.
Discretely a year ago and and -- -- that further along right now though.
-- it is but it is that a big worry you know we're gonna find out.
Yep part you know look at -- pictures right now of the storm's path that.
You can see New Orleans just -- and squarely in the middle of that projected movement and -- will make.
-- -- they've been kept a hurricane a big category one that's still serious is just.
Far less strong than Katrina was so in addition to I think being a little left strong a storm than Katrina what do you think that New Orleans itself.
Is in better shape better braced for this one than it was for Katrina -- Oh definitely definitely even if it even if there were up -- -- at the beer at Katrina.
Bomb and oil and -- is much much better prepared.
Then been everywhere that we were are back in 2005.
You know had it not been what do you break in the -- that -- No oil and you know -- to day right after Katrina would have just been a normal.
Bump everybody would have -- -- driven right back in the town.
However because the the failure of the -- that.
-- that did not happen well now here we are seven years later.
The Army Corps of Engineers to bend over ten billion dollar big thing to -- let the them to protect that -- -- -- war of one.
We have -- -- just pumping capacity.
In the world beer right now though while just this right now but over there right now it is up note if you well.
-- -- no it was coming.
You know everybody at home everybody.
You know prepared a yeah.
You know they be they brought in you know everybody went -- -- stores stocked up they still up there aren't asked that the date they need to -- down.
However if that's no -- you know we're gonna yeah we're gonna come back on Thursday morning yen and that it be great day.
-- right -- been -- all those big NEA's -- cafe Dumont best of -- Syria -- a baton down the hatches for -- we appreciate your being with us today.
Thank you very much thank -- well president.

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Critical
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: 1.1
Component/s: None
Number of attachments :0
According the documentation of BaseXPath.selectNodes,
"nodes will be returned in document-order" unless I'm
"using XPath expressions involving the union operator".
But it seems that //somthing expressions return the result
not in document order. E.g for this XML:
XPath expression //x will return the nodes in order 1, 4,
2, 3.
I have tried it with both 1.0 FCS and the 1.1 beta
test to illustrate this:
<document url="xml/moreover.xml">
<context select="/">
<valueOf select="(//*)[5]">StockAccess</valueOf>
It was a bad choice in implementation, but easily corrected.
A path involving // is a full walk of the tree, and unfortunately, we picked breadth-first instead of depth-first.
I think it's one change of how we push nodes onto the walk stack in one method. Correction of it is left as an exercise to the reader.
It's certainly not obvious to me how to fix this. If anyone sees, please do. After some single stepping with a debugger, I have determined the following:
// returns the nodes in the correct order. That is /descendant-or-self::node() returns all nodes in the document in document order as expected. It appears that the DescendantAxisIterator and DescendantOrSelfAxisIterator work. (Not 100% certain here since I was using my own custom iterators rather than the standard ones from org.jaxen but pretty sure) I don't think the bug is here (or if there is a bug, it's not only here).
The problem doesn't arise until you have something like //x or, unabbreviated/ /descendant-or-self::node()/child::x
Specifically it seems to be the DefaultNameStep.evaluate method that gets the order wrong; specifically this for loop:
for (int i = 0; i < contextSize; ++i) {
eachContextNode = contextNodeSet.get;
Iterator axisNodeIter = axisIterator(eachContextNode, support);
if (axisNodeIter == null || axisNodeIter.hasNext() == false)
// ensure only unique matching nodes in the result
while (axisNodeIter.hasNext()) {
eachAxisNode = axisNodeIter.next();
if (matches(eachAxisNode, support)) {
if (unique.put(eachAxisNode, PRESENT) == null)
// evaluate the predicates
newNodeSet.addAll(getPredicateSet().evaluatePredicates(interimSet, support));
However, the fix is not yet obvious to me so if anyone else sees how to fix this, please do so.
FYI, I suspect this is the same problem as Jaxen-15, which says:
Please see
Which I think describes the issue and saves me retyping essentially the same data.
If we fix this, I think we can close that too.
FYI Elliotte: unfortunately an apple jdk upgrade has hosed my IDE, I'm only able to browse the code at the moment. However I went over the code for the two descendant iterators and they seem overly complex, but correct. They both would work with this logic (merged for brevity):
Iterator children;
// constructor for Descendant axis
Descendant() {
children = EMPTY_ITERATOR;
// constructor for DescendantOrSelf axis
DescendantOrSelf() {
children = EMPTY_ITERATOR;
stack.push(new SingletonList(node).iterator());
boolean hasNext() {
while (!children.hasNext()) {
if (stack.isEmpty())
children = (Iterator) stack.pop();
return true;
Object next() {
if (hasNext())
throw new NoSuchElementException();
This doesnt change the logic much, so won't fix this bug (it removes an unnecessary check in internalCreateIterator, and avoids using nulls as sentinels). Just posting this in case it helps, I'll apply this tidy up once I've got my IDE back.
Upgrading this bug to critical because working around it is proving to be a major performance hit in XOM (something like 50% of the execution time on some queries)
After quite a bit of work with the debugger I have determined that the bug is not where I thought it was at all. The DescendantAxisIterator and DescendantOrSelfAxisIterator classes are correct. In fact, /descendant::x and /descendant-or-self::x behave as expected. The following block of code in DefaultNameStep.evaluate is what shuffles the nodes out of document order:
for (int i = 0; i < contextSize; ++i) {
eachContextNode = contextNodeSet.get;
Iterator axisNodeIter = axisIterator(eachContextNode, support);
if (axisNodeIter == null || axisNodeIter.hasNext() == false)
while (axisNodeIter.hasNext()) {
eachAxisNode = axisNodeIter.next();
if (matches(eachAxisNode, support)) {
if (unique.put(eachAxisNode, PRESENT) == null)
// evaluate the predicates
newNodeSet.addAll(getPredicateSet().evaluatePredicates(interimSet, support));
I think what is going on is that because //x is really /descendant-or-self::node()/child::x Jaxen does the following:
1. Grab all the nodes that match /descendant-or-self::node(). jaxen returns these in the correct order.
2. Iterate through that list, and for each node in that list, in order, evaluate child::x. Because it goes in order it gets the children of <a>, including <x>1</x> and <x>4</x>, before it evaluates the children of b.
Jaxen simply appends these to the list, and finally returns <x1>1</x>, <x1>4</x>, <x>2></x>, <x>3</x>.
Jaxen is assuming that because it gets the order of each step right, it will get the eventual order right, but this is not true.
For the moment I am not sure how to fix this problem. I suspect it extends way beyond this simple case. Possibly there's a way we can fix the order within the block of code I've indicated here. Possibly, however, Jaxen needs some sort of resort step, either at the end of evaluation, or at the end of evaluation of each step to make sure the nodes come out in document order as promised.
Possibly Jaxen needs to attach some sort of sequence number to each node as its read in the first time, so that the nodes can be efficiently sorted when they come out. I'm not quite sure how that would work. Possibly there's another solution. Suggestions are appreciated.
you are absolutely correct as to what's going on. trying to crunch it through my brain now to see if there's a way around this w/o re-sorting it all.
We can fix this specific problem by injecting the following into DefaultAbsoluteLocationPath:
public Expr simplify()
final DefaultAbsoluteLocationPath expr = (DefaultAbsoluteLocationPath)super.simplify();
if( 2 == getSteps().size() )
final Step second = (Step)getSteps().get( 1 );
if( Axis.DESCENDANT_OR_SELF == ( (Step)getSteps().get( 0 ) ).getAxis()
&& second instanceof DefaultNameStep
&& Axis.CHILD == second.getAxis() )
return expr;
But, this just fixes this specific problem. Would like to find a general solution.
I honestly think this is just a simple change.
Switching from a bredth-first walk to a depth-first should be almost trivial, no?
bob, i saw your earlier comment about that, but i didn't see where it was an issue.
the descendant-or-self iterator does to depth first, as it should be needed.
that step returns a node-set of all document nodes, in order.
next step is a child iterator for 'x'.
since the first node in the list is 'a', the children of it are x/1 and x/4. this will happen regardless of how the first step is evaluated (be it depth or breadth)
unless in depth-vs-breadth you are talking about how the various steps play together? (ie, only evaluate first node of first step, pass to 2nd step, etc).. but i think that might be a huge change to the entire way jaxen operates, and i can't work it out in my head if that wouldn't totally break things.
This is now fixed. All node-sets are returned in document order.

House Appropriations Committee--Defense
Testimony As Submitted For Delivery By Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, Washington, DC, Thursday, March 29, 2007
Chairman Murtha, Congressman Young, members of the Committee:
I thank the Committee for all you have done to support our military these many years, and I appreciate the opportunity to provide an overview of the way ahead at the Department of Defense through the President's Fiscal Year 2008 Defense Budget, which includes the base budget request and the FY 2008 Global War on Terror Request.
As to the President's defense budget requests, I believe it is important to consider their combined price tag – more than $700 billion – in some historical context as there has been, understandably, some element of sticker shock at the total.
But consider that, at about 4 percent of America's Gross Domestic Product, the amount of money the United States is expected to spend on defense this year is actually a smaller percentage of GDP than when I left government 14 years ago, following the end of the Cold War – and a significantly smaller percentage than during previous times of war, such as Vietnam and Korea.
Since 1993, with a defense budget that is a smaller relative share of our national wealth, the world has gotten more complicated, and arguably more dangerous. In addition to fighting the Global War on Terror, we also face:
The danger posed by Iran's and North Korea's nuclear ambitions, and the threat they pose not only to their neighbors, but globally, because of their records of proliferation;
The uncertain paths of China and Russia, which are both pursuing sophisticated military modernization programs; and
A range of other potential flashpoints and challenges.
In this strategic environment, the resources we devote to defense should be at the level to adequately meet those challenges.
Five times over the past 90 years the United States has either slashed defense spending or disarmed outright in the mistaken belief that the nature of man or behavior of nations had somehow changed, or that we would no longer need capable, well funded military forces on hand to confront threats to our nation's interests and security. Each time we have paid a price.
The costs of defending our nation are high. The only thing costlier, ultimately, would be to fail to commit the resources necessary to defend our interests around the world, and to fail to prepare for the inevitable threats of the future.
As Sun Tzu said more than 2,500 years ago, "The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable."
This holds true for our national defense today.
FY 2008 Base Budget
The President's FY 2008 base budget request of $481.4 billion is an increase of 11.4 percent over the projected enacted level of FY 2007, and provides the resources needed to man, organize, train, and equip the Armed Forces of the United States. This budget continues efforts to reform and transform our military establishment to be more agile, adaptive, and expeditionary to deal with a range of both conventional and irregular threats.
Some military leaders have argued that while our forces can support current operations in the War on Terror, these operations are increasing risks associated with being called on to undertake a major conventional conflict elsewhere around the world. This budget provides additional resources to mitigate those risks.
The FY 2008 base budget includes increases of about $16.8 billion over last year for investments in additional training, equipment repair and replacement, and intelligence and support. It provides increases in combat training rotations, sustains air crew training, and increases ship steaming days.
Increase Ground Forces
Despite significant improvements in the way our military is organized and operated, the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have put stress on parts of our nation's ground forces.
In January, the President called for an increase in the permanent active end strength of the Army and Marine Corps of some 92,000 troops by FY 2012. The base budget request adds $12.1 billion to increase ground forces in the next fiscal year, which will consist of 7,000 additional Soldiers and 5,000 additional Marines.
Special Operations Forces, who have come to play an essential and unique role in operations against terrorist networks, will also grow by 5,575 troops between FY 2007 and FY 2008.
Strategic Investments – Modernization
The base budget invests $177 billion in procurement and research and development that includes major investments in the next generation of technologies. The major weapons systems include:
Future Combat System
($3.7 billion) – The first comprehensive modernization program for the Army in a generation.
Joint Strike Fighter
($6.1 billion) – This next generation strike aircraft has variants for the Air Force, the Navy, and the Marine Corps. Eight international partners are contributing to the JSF's development and production.
($4.6 billion) – Twenty additional aircraft will be procured in FY 2008.
($14.4 billion) – The increase of $3.2 billion over last year is primarily for the next generation aircraft carrier, the CVN-21, and the LPD-17 amphibious transport ship. The long-term goal is a 313-ship Navy by 2020.
Missile Defense
I have believed since the Reagan administration that if we can develop a missile defense capability, it would be a mistake for us not to do so. There are many countries that either have or are developing ballistic missiles, and there are at least two or three others – including North Korea – that are developing longer-range systems. We also have an obligation to our allies, some of whom have signed on as partners in this effort.
The department is proceeding with negotiations with Poland and the Czech Republic on establishing a missile defense capability in Europe while we work with our other allies, including the United Kingdom, on upgrading early warning radar systems. We are willing to work with others in developing this defensive capability, including Russia. The missile defense program funded by this request will continue to test our capability against more complex and realistic scenarios. I urge the committee to approve the full $9.9 billion requested for the missile defense and Patriot missile programs.
Space Capabilities
The recent test of an anti-satellite weapon by China underscored the need to continue to develop capabilities in space. The policy of the U.S. Government in this area remains consistent with the longstanding principles that were established during the Eisenhower administration, such as the right of free passage and the use of space for peaceful purposes. Space programs are essential to the U.S. military's communications, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. The base budget requests about $6.0 billion to continue the development and fielding of systems that will maintain U.S. supremacy while ensuring unfettered, reliable, and secure access to space.
A major challenge facing our military is that several key capabilities are aging and long overdue for being replaced. The prime example is the Air Force KC-135 tanker fleet, with planes that average 45 years of age, the fleet is becoming more expensive to maintain and less reliable to operate. The Air Force has resumed a transparent and competitive replacement program to recapitalize this fleet with the KC-X aircraft. The KC-X will be able to carry cargo and passengers and will be equipped with defensive systems. It is the U.S. Transportation Command's and the Air Force's top acquisition and recapitalization priority.
Quality of Life – Sustaining the All-Volunteer Force
Our nation is fortunate that so many talented and patriotic young people have stepped forward to serve, and that so many of them have chosen to continue to serve. So far, all active branches of the U.S. military exceeded their recruiting goals, with particularly strong showings by the Army and Marine Corps. The FY 2008 request includes $4.3 billion for recruiting and retention to ensure that the military continues to attract and retain the people we need to grow the ground forces and defend the interests of the United States.
We will continue to support the all-volunteer force and their families through a variety of programs and initiatives. The budget includes:
$38.7 billion for health care for both active and retired service members;
$15 billion for Basic Allowance for Housing to ensure that, on average, troops are not forced to incur out-of-pocket costs to pay for housing;
$2.9 billion to improve barracks and family housing and privatize an additional 2,870 new family units; and
$2.1 billion for a 3 percent pay increase for military members.
In addition, recently announced changes in the way the military uses and employs the Reserves and National Guard should allow for a less frequent and more predictable mobilization schedule for our citizen soldiers.
Combined with other initiatives to better organize, manage, and take care of the force, these changes should mean that in the future our troops should be deployed or mobilized less often, for shorter periods of time, and with more predictability and a better quality of life for themselves and their families.
Train and Equip Authorities
Building the capacity and capability of partners and allies to better secure and govern their own countries is a central task in the larger war on terrorism. It is much better for partner countries, rather than U.S. forces, to deal with the terrorist networks within their borders.
In recent years we have struggled to overcome the patchwork of authorities and regulations that were put in place during a very different era – the Cold War – to confront a notably different set of threats and challenges.
The Congress took a farsighted step to overcome these impediments with the creation of Section 1206 authority, which allows the Defense and State Departments to rapidly and effectively train and equip partner military forces.
We are seeking dedicated funding of $500 million in the FY 2008 base budget and $300 million in the Supplemental to provide the combatant commanders with the resources to implement this authority. This is a joint enterprise with the Department of State that is becoming a model capacity-building effort for the Long War. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the combatant commanders regard this program as the most important authority the military has to fight the war on terror beyond Iraq and Afghanistan. It allows us to help others get ahead of threats, exploit opportunities, and reduce stress on our servicemen and women.
Global War on Terror Request
The President's FY 2008 Global War on Terror Request for $141.7 billion complies with Congress's direction to include the costs of ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in the annual Defense Department budget. Given the uncertainty of projecting the cost of operations so far in the future, the funds sought for the FY 2008 GWOT Request are generally based on a straight-line projection of current costs for Iraq and Afghanistan. This request includes $70.6 billion to provide the incremental pay, supplies, transportation, maintenance and logistical support to conduct military operations.
The FY 2008 GWOT Request includes $37.6 billion to reconstitute our nation's armed forces – in particular, to refit the ground forces, the Army and Marine Corps, who have borne the brunt of combat in both human and material terms. These funds will go to repair or replace equipment that has been destroyed, damaged, or stressed in the current conflict. The $13.6 billion in reset funds in the FY 2008 GWOT Request for the U.S. Army will go a long way towards raising the readiness levels across the force.
Force Protection
This FY 2008 GWOT Request includes $15.2 billion for investments in new technologies to better protect our troops from an agile and adaptive enemy. Programs being funded would include a new generation of body armor, vehicles that can better withstand explosions from Improvised Explosive Devises (IEDs), and electronic devices that interrupt the enemy's ability to attack U.S. forces. Within this force-protection category, the FY 2008 GWOT Request includes $4 billion to counter and defeat the threat posed by IEDs.
Afghan/Iraqi Security Forces
The FY 2008 GWOT Request includes $4.7 billion to stand up capable military and police forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. The bulk of these funds are going to train and equip Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) to assume the lead in operations throughout Afghanistan. As of January, 88,000 have been trained and equipped, an increase of 31,000 from the previous year.
In Iraq, more than 300,000 soldiers and police have been trained and equipped, and are in charge of more than 60 percent of Iraqi territory and more than 65 percent of that country's population. They have assumed full security responsibility for three out of Iraq's 18 provinces and are scheduled to take over more territory over the course of the year. These Iraqi troops, though far from perfect, have shown that they can perform with distinction when properly led and supported. Iraqi forces will be in the lead during operations to secure Baghdad's violent neighborhoods. As we significantly increase and improve the embedding program, Iraqi forces will operate with more and better Coalition support than they had in the past.
Non-Military Assistance
Success in the kinds of conflicts our military finds itself in today – in Iraq, or elsewhere – cannot be achieved by military means alone. The President's strategy for Iraq hinges on key programs and additional resources to improve local governance, delivery of public services, and quality of life – to get angry young men off the street and into jobs where they will be less susceptible to the appeals of insurgents or militia groups.
Commanders Emergency Response Program, or CERP funds, are a relatively small piece of the war-related budgets – $977 million in the FY 2008 GWOT Request. But because they can be dispensed quickly and applied directly to local needs, they have had a tremendous impact – far beyond the dollar value – on the ability of our troops to succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan. By building trust and confidence in Coalition forces, these CERP projects increase the flow of intelligence to commanders in the field and help turn local Iraqis and Afghans against insurgents and terrorists.
With the assistance and the counsel of Congress, I believe we have the opportunity to do right by our troops and the sacrifices that they and their families have made these past few years. That means we must make the difficult choices and commit the necessary resources to not only prevail in the current conflicts in which they are engaged, but to be prepared to take on the threats that they, their children, and our nation may face in the future.

Hi Twisty Puzzles fans, It looks like a Rubik's Cube and it turns like a Rubik's Cube, but what is it? Of course, it is a Rubik's Cube. HandiCube was suggested by Jens Renders. The regular Rubik's Cube is impractical to solve one-handed, as the solver would need to block two layers to make a slice move (middle-layer "M-turn"). This problem is solved in HandiCube by building the puzzles from a 2x2x2 cube, and having the edges and centers hang between the corners. Please fill in the poll to indicate whether you think the HandiCube adds any value to the cubing community. Watch the YouTube video. Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.

MISSOULA - A former Missoula detention officer who is accused of filming women in a water park dressing room is scheduled to go to trial next month.
Michael Gauci appeared in Missoula District Court on Thursday morning, and attorneys said the case is on track for the trial.
Prosecutors say Gauci filmed three women in the Splash Montana dressing room in August by hanging a video camera over the dressing room wall.
He's facing a burglary and a tampering with evidence charge for that alleged incident. Gauci's trial is set for Feb. 5.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the theater, well frankly you were just being naive. People still talk and text during the movie and Hollywood still makes some ol' garbage. Hey, speaking of, long ago and far away, it was announced that we were on track to get a fifth installment of the 'Scary Movie' franchise, around about the same time that 'Scream 4' was due out. However, the project had remained dormant long enough as to allow the glimmer of hope that maybe this was just in fact a rumor. And then a few days ago they went and hired Malcolm Lee ('Undercover Brother') to direct it, so it seems this really is happening. In addition to helming the film, Lee will co-write 'Scary Movie 5' with David Zucker (who directed 'Scary Movie 3' and 'Scary Movie 4'). Few details are known about the plot, nor when shooting is scheduled to begin.
If it's not evident already, I am not a big fan of the 'Scary Movie' franchise. To be completely fair, there were a few jokes in the first movie that had me giggling, but that was back when it was, you know, actually making fun of horror movies. As the series progressed, it just became this amorphous dumping ground for all current movies and pop culture references and whatever other desperate attempts at remaining relevant they could find. However, I am fully aware that we would not even be talking about 'Scary Movie 5' if there wasn't still an audience. I've never actually seen a single film in Malcolm Lee's catalog, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, which fits because I have nothing but doubt about this project. I'm going to hope against hope that there will be at least as many found-footage jokes as there are 'Jersey Shore' and 'The Voice' mocks.
Am I being too harsh? Are there any die hard 'Scary Movie' fans out there who could see this working? Is Malcolm Lee a good choice to direct?

In all honesty the Scary Movie franchise is okay. (and its a guilty pleasure to me) I mean there are far worse movies than Scary Movie 2 3 and 4 like anything Friedberg and Seltzer directs LOL XD
Well Malcolm Lee did a great job with Undercover Brother...course that could have been the cast, but that movie is hilariously racist against both white and black people. I have seen that movie easily 20 times and still laugh my ass off every time I watch it.
Would it kill them to just bring back the Wayans already?
he did not direct soul plane
I like Scary Movie, didn't see 2 and thought 3 & 4 were meh!!! Don't really give a shit about this except that it might make a great review from you guys
@Chris Morales
I'm pretty sure Brian Salisbury from LEOG is writing all the news articles.
@Absinthe Minded
That's what Scream 4 gets for thinking they could triumph coming out against Rio in April, the family-friendly pre-summer month of the movie year. Had they realesed it in, say, OCTOBER where a movie like that would be more appropriate and maybe even take some of the PA3 money away from people that are sick of that franchise, maybe they would done better...
I remember a woman on Dr. Phil who was truly terrified of scary films. He was in Scary Movie 4 at the time and one of the producer/director offered her a role in Scary Movie 5. I wonder if that offer is still standing.....

If you're in town on 8 August, be sure to catch the Ōtsu Grand Fireworks Festival. Starting at dusk, the best spots to watch are along the waterfront near Keihan Hama-Ōtsu Station. Be warned that trains to and from Kyoto are packed for hours before and after the event.
Takes place in early to mid-October at Tenson-jinja, close to JR Ōtsu Station. Ornate floats are displayed on the first day and paraded around the town on the second day.
Daigo-ji was founded in 874 by Shobo, who gave it the name Daigo (meaning 'the ultimate essence of milk'). This refers to the five periods of Buddha's teaching, which were compared to the five forms of milk prepared in India; the highest form is called daigo in Japanese. The temple was expanded into a vast complex on two levels, Shimo Daigo (lower) and Kami Daigo (upper).
Mii-dera is a short walk northwest from Keihan Hama-Ōtsu Station. The temple, founded in the late 7th century, is the head branch of the Jimon branch of Tendai Buddhism. It started its days as a branch of Enryaku-ji (延暦寺) on Hiei-zan, but later the two fell into conflict, and Mii-dera was repeatedly razed by Enryaku-ji's warrior monks.
Perhaps the best part of Nanzen-ji is overlooked by most visitors: Nanzen-ji Oku-no-in, a small shrine hidden in a forested hollow behind the main precinct. To get here, walk up to the red-brick aqueduct in front of Nanzen-in. Follow the road that runs parallel to the aqueduct up into the hills, and walk past (or through) Kōtoku-an , a small subtemple on your left.
This subtemple of Nanzen-ji is up the steps after you pass under the aqueduct. It has an attractive garden designed around a heart-shaped pond. This garden is best seen in the morning or around noon, when sunlight shines directly into the pond and illuminates the colourful carp.
This is one of our favourite temples in Kyoto, with its expansive grounds and numerous subtemples. It began as a retirement villa for Emperor Kameyama but was dedicated as a Zen temple on his death in 1291. Civil war in the 15th century destroyed most of the temple; the present buildings date from the 17th century. It operates now as headquarters for the Rinzai school of Zen.
Perhaps Kyoto's most famous (and most crowded) autumn foliage destination, Eikan-dō should probably be avoided in November, but is worth a visit at other times of year. This temple is made interesting by its varied architecture, its gardens and its works of art.
This museum is a 10-minute walk north of Nanzen-ji. Exhibits include scrolls, paintings, implements used in tea ceremonies and ceramics that were bequeathed by business magnate Nomura Tokushiki.
Only open to the public in spring and autumn, Reikan-ji is one of Kyoto's great lesser-visited attractions. During the spring opening, you will find the grounds positively rioting with camellia. In autumn, the brilliant reds of the maples will dazzle the eye. The small collection of artworks in the main building is almost as good as the colours outside.
Just outside the precincts of Nanzen-ji, you'll find Okutan, a restaurant sited within the luxurious garden of Chōshō-in. This is a popular place that has specialised in vegetarian temple food for hundreds of years. Try a course of yudōfu (bean curd cooked in an iron pot) together with vegetable side dishes (¥3150).
Another subtemple of Nanzen-ji, Tenju-an is located on the south side of San-mon, the main gate of Nanzen-ji. Constructed in 1337, Tenju-an has a splendid garden and a great collection of carp in its pond.
Located just across the street from the Westin Miyako, Kyoto, this wonderful bar attracts a regular crowd of Kyoto expats, local Japanese and guests from the Westin. It's subdued, relaxing and friendly.
Filling noodle and rice dishes are served at this pleasant shop with an English menu. Plain udon (thick white wheat noodles) are only ¥400, but we recommend you spring for the nabeyaki udon (pot-baked udon in broth) for ¥800. This is a good lunch spot when temple-hopping in the Northern Higashiyama area.
One of Kyoto's hidden pleasures, this temple was founded in 1680 to honour the priest Hōnen. It's a lovely, secluded temple with carefully raked gardens set back in the woods. The temple buildings include a small gallery where frequent exhibitions featuring local and international artists are held.

Winchester toddlers enjoy new musical lessons
5:00pm Monday 7th October 2013 in News By Lauren Howard, Reporter
WINCHESTER tots are taking part in singing and dancing lessons in a brand new method of teaching.
Moo Music, aimed at children from as young as a few months to five years old, teaches specially-composed songs and matching choreography to stimulate the minds of younger children with farm animal characters.
The all-singing all-dancing moo-sical sessions in Hursley, Kings Worthy and Winchester include over 100 songs, dancing and games.
Class leader Ali Hider said she is thrilled that Moo Music has taken off so quickly.
"We've had such a fantastic response to the classes and it's wonderful to see the children, and their mums, dads, nannies and grandparents, having such fun.
"Even the quietest children have been singing and dancing after a week or two. Sharing music is such a great way to boost confidence."
Moo Music features four original characters, Maggie Moo, Ollie Oink, Henry Horse and Doris Duck, each with their own songs as written by well-known children's songwriter Craig McLeish.
Mr McLeish is known for his work on West End shows such as Les Miserables and Miss Saigon.
Samantha Mitchell said her three-year-old daughter Georgia has enjoyed the classes.
"It's something we look forward to all week," she said. "The classes are creative, stimulating and, above all, enormous fun."
"Music is very important to children's development," said Ali.
"Each class is cleverly designed to develop vital language, memory and co-ordination skills while the little ones have a whale of a time."

Were we Born to Run? Opinion on the matter is strong and the scientific evidence is building from strength to strength. Whilst we may have been born to run, the invention and subsequent widespread use of the modern, padded running shoe has rendered the shocking statistic that 80% of runners get injured every year.

Vivobarefoot & Interview with Companies CEO Galahad Clark featured on Huffingtonpost.com
August 22nd 2009 by Terra PlanaBenefits of Barefoot: Special Offer for Huffington Post Readers
By Hillary Newman
I've always been a runner- or at least I was until I 'ran' into knee trouble a few years ago. Now, you could call me an elipicalist. While VH1′s I Love the 90s always gears me up for a sweaty workout, there is nothing I crave more than opening my front door and taking off. So when I learned about a new shoe technology developed to help runners, I did a little investigating.
Terra Plana, an ethical shoe company, created barefoot – a shoe line that is designed to achieve the benefits of walking and running barefoot. Upon hearing about these shoes, I immediately thought about my childhood, a time when I embraced a shoeless lifestyle. However, after a bit more research, I discovered that the benefits of being barefoot might surpass the freedom I has as toddler. Join me on my quest to learn more about and Terra Plana as I interview the owner, Galahad Clark. barefoot
In a nutshell, what is the argument supporting the ? barefoot technology
Quite simple actually – walking barefoot is good for you.
barefoot has an ultra thin puncture resistant sole that gives the protection of normal shoes and all the benefits of walking barefoot – including the natural alignment of one's posture.
How do you describe the person who wears Terra Plana shoes?
They might not know where they are going, but they know the way.
What are some or your favorite eco-friendly materials used to produce Terra Plana shoes?
Mesh from recycled pet bottles
Vegetable tan leather
Quilts from the swami tribe in northern Pakistan
Recycled e-max – ultra lightweight abrasion resistant soling material
Duratex in the barefoot shoes
Terra Plana has stores all over the world, including New York, Vienna and Ljubjilana to name a few. How has living and breathing in so many diverse places influenced Terra Plana?
Sustainability is a global issue and we learn so much and are inspired by different areas and partners around the world…
In your opinion, how can the retail industry produce more sustainably?
Produce less, but also more consumer education and training of staff to engage with consumers.
It is a very complex issue with many angles and layers (1000 ways to skin the eco-shoe)
Ultimately there should be a labeling system that creates transparency inspired by life cycle analysis. This will either be led by a government body or an industry group.
Companies like Nike and Timberland are leading the way at the moment in the shoe industry, but not many people truly comprehend the efforts they are making yet.
Any words of advice for the novice designer?
Keep things simple.
Create concept and identity.
Try to make a product beautiful from the inside and out.
Sustainable design is really just good design: The products function, are beautiful, efficient, relevant, durable, timeless.
(just like a successful part of the eco system if a product is none of the above then it won't survive long and will go extinct)

Noticed them on the schedule for a local venue - State Theater in Falls Church, VA. #What styles of music to they play on their shows?
Noticed them on the schedule for a local venue - State Theater in Falls Church, VA. #What styles of music to they play on their shows?
I've only seen Darol Anger play with YMSB in Philly this past Fall. Great fiddle player. That's all I know or have seen/heard.
I can only play half as much as I want, because I only play half as much as I would like.
i saw darol and mike way back when they released "the duo" album. (late 80's?) it was one of the most entertainining shows i've ever seen. i've also seen them as part of grisman's band, and as part of the "new acoustic music congress" band with tony rice, john reichman, and todd phillips. another amazing show. mike and darol bring out the wackiest in each other, and if you see them, i'd imagine you'll hear fiddle tunes, jazz, classical, and just about anything else you can imagine. i wish they were coming to montana....
"it's not in bad taste, if it's funny" - john waters
Definitely go see them. Check out their Duo Live album. Just freakin' amazing the music they can get out of two little instruments (some not so little, since Mike plays his Martin guitar and Monteleone mandocello too). And they play everything, like mandorose said. Their own compositions, jazz, bluegrass, old time, probably some choro, Irish, Scandinavian, classical -- and it's all good. The only thing I've never seen them do is sing.
Arches F4 / Newson F5
Crump B1 / Old Wave GOM
duo live album? i don't have that. i have the studio album. any info on where i can get it?
thanks, john
"it's not in bad taste, if it's funny" - john waters
When are they playing in Falls Church? I have heard their live recording - wonderful music. I would love to see them play - both are great musicians and they make amazing music together.
Saw them as part of Psychograss some years back. Interesting material - I think they put our two cd's.
Cabin Fever String Band, National Pike Pickers
They've been great down through the years/decades. An early band was called Sahib, I have 2 CDs from that period, just great, though the sound is somewhat muffled.
Marshall and Anger are coming here to Chapel Hill in early March and I can't wait to see 'em! Last year about this time I saw Mike with Edgar Meyer, another of his regular collaborators. It was an amazing show, entirely unmiked, and including an ecclectic blend of fiddle tunes, bluegrass, jazz, Bach, and more. #It was simply one of the best shows I've seen -and given Mike and Darol's decades of work together I'm guessing this will be at least as good.
Don't miss it!
CharlieKnuth: #They are at the State Theater, Sunday March 7. #Tickets are $16 (plus Ticketmaster's cut I assume).
Mandorose - It's called "The Duo Live: At Home and On the Range". You can get it direct from Darol at
but Amazon has it too. It's a must have IMHO.

I saw them too at the time of Duo. It was 1984 in Toulouse France. A great show, entertaining is the right word - there was plenty of humour in there as well as great musicianship.

Thanks for the information. I have ordered my tickets today for the show. Have you been to the State Theater in Falls Church. If so, how is it as a venue. The floor plan looks a bit odd and the idea of having a bunch of people stand of a concert doesn't excite me. Any insights could be helpful. I am looking forward to this with great anticipation.
I have seen them as far back as the late '70s when they were playing with the "Big G" (yes, I am that damn old). Their sets may range as far and wide as their tastes and talents (which is pretty diverse). Will you see more consummate musicians -- I can't imagine where. Their performances are always an education.....
BradW are they coming back to the community church where they played a year and a half ago? Perhaps even more importantly, do you know if they're going to be doing another workshop at the Music Explorium in Carrboro? That was even better than the performance in the church, as there were only about 15-20 of us in a small music store--like a private performance with some instruction thrown in along the way.

I was out of town. There a stage (obviously), ususally some folding chairs directly in front of that. Back a little and on both side are tables where you can get food. There is a standing only area toward the back. There is an upstairs balcony area that has a unobstructed view but is not too close. I've been to two shows there, once in the balcony, once at a table about mid-way back. I'd have to rate it okay (not great, not terrible) as a venue.
Thanks for the information. I don't plan on making table reservations, but hope to get a decent place to sit. I don't want to stand and am looking forward to the performance. I am taking my girlfriend and introducing her to their music. It should be fun.
Hi All,
Yes, Mike and Darol are absolutely one of the most interesting, creative and musically rewarding performers you'll hear these days. My wife and I run Community Church Coffeehouse Concert Series, where one of the repliers saw Mike and Edgar. We are hosting Mike and Darol for the third time on March 6th, this time with special guest, cellist Matt Haimowitz! If you're in the area this is a great chance to see them in a small concert venue with wonderful acoustics.
Also, for you mandolinists and fiddlers out there, Mike and Darol are doing simultanious intermediate classes on Friday, March 5th from 3 to 5 PM. The class sizes are limitted to 15 students for ample personal time and instruction. For information on class registration call the Music Explorium at 919-969-8400.
Again, it's really nice to hear positive feedback about our venue and, of course, about Mike and Darol, two of my favorite acoustic musicians and wonderful friends.
Hope to see a few of you at the show!

Went to the show at the State theater...
All I have to say is: Mindblowing.
They jammed so hard and with so much passion. It was a scene. When I left I couldn't stop smiling and I felt as if my heart and soul opened up...You could sense that the crowd was really into it too. Mike and Darol kept commenting on how great the acoustics were in the room, so I'm guessing if they tour again, they'll be back at the State theatre. If you ever get a chance to see these guys, DO NOT HESITATE! Buy tickets to see them.
Ditto for the show Saturday night in Chapel Hill. Really a rocking show- Mike played EVERY instrument, probably more mandocello than anything else. Thanks for arranging such a great show, Tony G (and for setting up the workshop which I also attended).
I was there and sat on the third row from the stage. What a great concert. You could feel the energy flowing back and forth and out to the audience. The music was more amazing than I had expected. What a real treat to see these guys in concert. The down side is, I am not sure I want to pick up my mandocello again, but I will. I loved the interaction of the fiddle and the 'cello.
The Washington Post will no longer allow web viewing of stuff with out registering. #They gave the show a generally positive review. #I found the following section interesting:
