uTorrent Adds Android, iOS, PS3 and Xbox Integration
The latest alpha release of uTorrent now supports integration with a variety of devices including the iPhone, iPad, PS3, Xbox 360 and Android hardware. This allows users to quickly sync downloaded content to these devices. Additional capability to convert videos and audio to playable files will become available later, but only to users of the upcoming paid version of the BitTorrent client.
With more than 100 million active users a month and a market share of nearly 50 percent, uTorrent is without doubt the most-used BitTorrent client.
Despite the success story that it is, the uTorrent development team hasn't been sitting still in recent years. The user interface is continuously being updated and new features are launched on a frequent basis, such as the BitTorrent App studio.
Today we can add another feature to the list, as BitTorrent quietly rolled out support for external devices in the latest uTorrent alpha release. Aside from the usual bug fixes, the new release allows users to drag and drop downloaded files to Apple and Android devices, as well as the PS3 and Xbox 360 game consoles.
In addition, the latest alpha also shows the option to convert files into the appropriate formats supported by the various devices. However, TorrentFreak has learned that this tease was put in by mistake and that it will be removed in the next update.
While the device integration will become part of the stable uTorrent release in a few months, conversion will only be available for people who upgrade to the premium uTorrent version, the upcoming uTorrent Plus.
uTorrent adds support for devices
As is the case with all change, not all users are happy with the multitude of developments uTorrent has gone through in recent months. Some complain about bugs, others don't like the new interface, and there are users who are not charmed by all the new additional features.
The uTorrent developers, however, believe that they are on the right track to making their software appeal to a wider audience. TorrentFreak was informed by BitTorrent Inc. that a lot of users specifically demanded device integration, as well as other changes that were implemented recently.
That there indeed is a demand from BitTorrent users for integration with mobiles and game consoles has been shown by uTorrent's main competitor, Vuze. A year after Vuze added device integration millions of users had turned on this feature, and together they converted more than 100 million videos. Whether people are as excited when they have to pay for the conversion remains to be seen.
The latest 3.1 alpha is available for download now, for those who are interested in giving it a spin.

text: Home Politics How Race Shaped American Party Politics It's a given that the GOP attracts more whites and the Democrats attract more blacks, but it wasn't always so. By: Paul Delaney Posted: Dec. 31 2011 12:55 AM 0 Getty Images President Lyndon B. Johnson was on target when he said in 1965 that with the passage of the Voting Rights Act, the Democrats had lost Southern white voters for a generation. He was off a bit and too optimistic. The loss has lasted longer than a generation, and the reason for it goes deep into our nation's history. Since the 1860s, many whites in the Southern states have harbored a special, deep dislike for any of their brethren, anywhere on the continent, who took up the cause of former slaves. Think of the reactions to Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Ulysses S. Grant, Viola Liuzzo, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. The civil rights movement jump-started a change in American politics that led to today's alignment of blacks voting heavily for Democrats and many whites supporting Republicans. It used to be the reverse -- after all, the GOP was the party of Lincoln, who signed the proclamation that freed African Americans from slavery. It was also the party of the black politicians of the post-Civil War Reconstruction era. What happened? The switch in party loyalties, which happened in two stages, was based purely on racism. At a conference I covered in Louisville, Ky., on school integration in 1976, a Southern white attorney who was an unwavering supporter of desegregation stunned the audience by declaring flatly that the problem they were having integrating the schools was simply, "White folks don't like niggers." I accepted that observation from such an expert, since it complemented the above-mentioned statement by Johnson about the Democrats losing Southern white voters. It's a dynamic you can trace back to slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction and the interminable, unceasing fight against civil rights and whatever was proposed to assist blacks from their consignment to the basement of the American economic, social and political structure. Eroding Rights When Abraham Lincoln's Republicans gave ex-slaves access to the ballot, Southerners' war against those rights was on. Bit by bit, during the Reconstruction period and throughout the 19th century, they chipped away at blacks' newly gained rights. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Over time, the GOP came to concur with the erosion of those rights and allowed Southern whites to take back control of the region from Union troops, to the detriment of African Americans. Southern Democrats remained unwavering in their opposition to black enfranchisement as they became powerful once again in Congress and, eventually, in the presidency.

GAYLORD, MI -- Emergency weather alerts will soon be showing up on your cell phones.
The Program is a sponsorship between the wireless industry, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
According to the National Weather Service, "Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), also known as Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) or Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN), is a national emergency alert system to send concise, text-like messages to users' WEA-capable mobile devices starting June 2012. Wireless providers representing nearly 97 percent of subscribers are participating in distributing wireless emergency alerts."
The system will officially launch June 18, 2012.
The National Weather Service also said mobile users will not be charged for receiving these text-like alerts and are automatically enrolled to receive them.
There are three different kinds of alerts:
1. Presidential Alerts – Alerts issued by the President or a designee; 2. Imminent Threat Alerts – Alerts that include severe man-made or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc., where an imminent threat to life or property exists; and 3. AMBER Alerts – Alerts that meet the U.S. Department of Justice's criteria to help law enforcement search for and locate an abducted child.
The following information was also provided by the National Weather Service:
While these alerts will appear on a person's mobile device similar to a text message, Wireless Emergency Alerts are not text messages. Instead, Wireless Emergency Alerts use a different kind of technology to ensure they are delivered immediately and are not subjected to potential congestion (or delays) on wireless networks. In addition, Wireless Emergency Alerts are a point-to-multipoint system, which means alert messages will be sent to those within a targeted area, unlike text messages which are not location aware. For example, if a person with a WEA-capable device from Washington, D.C. happened to be in southern California when an earthquake occurred in that area, they would receive an "Imminent Threat Alert" on their device. There are a number of WEA-capable devices available today, and many of the new phones that are sold from participating carriers will be able to transmit these alerts. If your device has the CTIA Wireless Emergency Alerts logo, then it is WEA-capable. To receive these alerts, you might need to only upgrade your device's software, rather than purchase a new one. To confirm Wireless Emergency Alerts are available in your area and your device is capable of receiving the alerts, please check with your carrier.

Touting bailouts President Obama getting slammed by critics for saying best.
The American auto in -- trip has come roaring back and here.
The -- of the same thing with manufacturing jobs.
Not just in the auto industry but in every industry.
Government help.
All manufacturing industries will that jumpstart the economy or jolted even more hi everyone I'm Brenda -- this is Bulls and Bears let's yeah.
-- apples and bears this week care -- Smith Tobin Smith Jonas Max Ferris.
Along with the macro portfolio advisors -- champ and former senior official in the Obama administration.
Evans people welcome everybody else -- -- meet the president right.
Well I'm I'm I'm gonna go the opposite had hot this line as you might imagine you know just just a few thoughts -- -- On -- GM Malone you know he counts that as its success GM.
Is a job creator they created 151000 jobs in -- -- since the bail out they've cut 31000.
Jobs here.
He elects to say that GM's number one -- GE GM is number one because there's a little thing called the tsunami.
In hope that affected Toyota Toyota will soon be back.
To number one shortly you know the whole idea of targeting you targeting industries to save.
Is silly you know we didn't go out and save the railroads -- go out and save the steel industry we didn't go out and -- that video rental industry.
This is what happens when you have a free market capitalism industry dies and that's good so that money can go into building the next apple or Google.
Or whatever that the president clearly doesn't understand economics this is a political ploy as usual.
Well -- that's an interesting point because basically he is choosing.
One industry over others it may be time for that industry to -- is that I think that you find brought with us you know I -- actually.
Look at -- a crisis and it's a real depression and there's no capital and a business that would do okay in normal -- fails you can make the case from the government and a lot of foreign governments and keeping those businesses alive through the rough times.
But to extend those sorts of benefits and support when it's not in that kind of an and they can borrow money from the prime markets -- money.
That story is supporting losers and essentially gave money to -- -- -- companies I will say for the record -- you can't take a train anywhere without the government they did sort of -- -- regard.
Commuter rail all over it and tried everything so.
It's not like there isn't a purpose the -- what really surprises I just don't feel that there's a point where now the governor wants directed -- they should talk about.
Maybe going to -- stopping foreign governments from supporting their industry so much it making it more competitive Lleyton Plainfield and.
Giving his support to our company's -- do you think that we should use GM as a model and -- and prop up other industries and other manufacturing industry.
Of course I think what we -- with General Motors makes all the sense in the world.
We saved over a million jobs and if we look at Detroit before and after it made a huge difference in terms of the impact.
The companies a more streamlined better be able to compete on a global basis.
More importantly the ideas that are out there.
Really can help the working hand in hand between governing business has probably the only member on the panel let's run a manufacturing business I know what it takes -- be successful.
And I think that the ideas of having tax credits that will help -- aren't deep tax credits capital investment tax credits and workforce training can help manufacturing.
It doesn't pick winners it helps all manufacturing which is good for the country that helps unemployment -- the deficit helps the middle class helped make him take hot.
I don't know where it gives information where you talk about EU would they don't pick winners.
They pixel Lander and -- that wasn't a winner.
But they've made a lot of bad decisions including Amtrak I can't believe what I'm hearing here -- the -- Jim and Linda really began out of business.
We began -- yeah you know it you'll have -- right now what I'd like to do is it in -- face and then look at the idea of propping.
Up manufacturing industries Toby good or bad idea for the economy as it is right now.
Well it it's a very bad idea and I'll tell you -- -- little -- let's stay with GM for a second using -- -- a -- -- -- We spent we taxpayers -- borrowed 60000.
-- colors a job.
To quote unquote saved jobs where we have hit a very well established -- bankruptcy system and grant and I will say that in in October of 2008 there maybe was not the debtor in possession.
Financing available and I can understand doing -- -- But you know we have fourteen different plants in a country that we're working fabulously well making models making money making -- There was 1% -- plants or GM the ones and and Michigan the ones that are union law.
They could've gone to -- a bankruptcy case is structured bankruptcy and brought new jobs to other parts of the country as well as survived and the idea that we would spend 60000.
Up a borrowed money to quote unquote -- industries is ludicrous and applies and you know we're never gonna -- where prosperity.
And let's not forget definitely industries aren't asking for bailout why did talk about bailing out all these industries when they're not even asking for bailout and where's the money gonna come from he can't take money.
From the successful partner the economy and people are propping up.
Failing parts of the economy like the -- government does over and over again it GM is such a great deal for taxpayers.
That they claim where's my refund check because we haven't received any money back in the government -- 35 billion dollars.
Well now I'm now you can't manufacture you disagreed are asking our.
Quote unquote bailouts they wouldn't use that word but they are asking for help and -- you think that that's that's a good idea.
Yeah I think -- -- -- manufacturing industries losers is really a slap in the face of all American companies and workers and the owners of those companies.
He's a hard working people who do a great job building and selling products are around interest rates and -- -- -- North -- how to block it effectively across the world.
We want effectively compete with companies around the world who are getting it.
If tax breaks in Europe and China have for our government to help and lend a hand and help our industries is -- how government works hand in hand working with manufacturing industries.
But it's good for America.
But that's not the look that good example for his example is the go -- it put fifty billion dollars in actually more than 90000 dollars adopt -- And to take that model and now replicate that across our economy how could that possibly be lending a hand that's -- that's lending -- -- they aren't a good governor bill.
But -- take that you're taking out of context what he's talking about is using the concept of working hand in hand and developing good strategies to help grow our Manuel like any -- because I did that.
I just well.
I'll let that be business it's called creative destruction and were using Europe as an example our you know watching -- -- headlines at -- Europe.
Then that whole economy at the hole is falling apart.
Well to be fair Germany has a very successful -- actually base and is supporting all of your -- so I mean are you leaking go in that direction I might fear.
Is that you know this country's -- work in agriculture and doesn't anymore.
You don't wanna support industry that we might just not do we might be leaders in technology forever and not in manufacturing I don't know.
And you distort the market if you do it during good times again I'm not saying in a short -- in a crisis.
It would have been really got a -- gym and all those jobs during a recession but today we'll see who makes a better cars long -- I.
Yet -- drawn a line and and Gary Kubiak and I started blogs -- again I guess that well hole on that have a targeting at choosing.
Well exactly -- what we could've done that many times as as an example we used to make the bulk of the televisions.
Right over here you know with companies like RCA and -- tell what happened was the Japanese made them better.
More efficient and cheaper cost somewhat like -- what look at the loss of jobs I agree there was loss of jobs and that.
What's habit to the economy as a whole it was a benefit because people spend.
Less on TV's because they were able to spend less on TVs they are able to take that that savings and spending in other industries around the net effect is actually to stimulate employment -- if we kept.
-- with these dinosaurs yes we have people what but not as many people employed big big change targeted industries that the government and did the corporation an average terms this partnership would target -- -- I'm Patricia effective industries were not.
Porsche to be heard Avant and here's what we're talking about artificially supporting these industries that would be viable here if we had met the support that's a different story that's not throwing money W does not a kid that's nice gentleman OK sorry -- that's that you.
Last word.
Thanks all right coming Nomar Mickey Mouse and around Disney CEO telling -- -- want magic bullet.
To help get Americans back to work right now.
It has -- of them don't -- wondering -- -- waiting for that's the bottom of the hour but up here first.
Think the prices at that check -- -- -- and the gas pump are high now.
Just wait than you were rock report on those pop sports by the drought.
Just might burn up your -- Americans bracing for more price spikes the the agricultural department releasing a disastrous.
Crop report from the midwest routes.
Corn and soybean production and -- adding that double digits.
Now food manufacturing warning higher consumer prices well there on the way.
And with 40% of corn going into ethanol gas pump prices soaring nearly fifteen cents just this week.
-- -- again.
It's bad and it's worse than people think as you said it -- -- a lot of things corn goes in our gasoline now.
It goes an army of course when we feed the cattle and hogs that we -- it goes all throughout the economy and it's not just corn prices soybean price of lot of food prices are out.
Beyond that it doesn't stop there we have education costs that are -- brands that are up medical costs that are up insurance that's up.
So it.
Consumers are getting hit really hard by inflation despite.
What the government -- official statistics say and I think it's gonna crap retail sales to a further degree.
They're already flat lining and guess what retail sales are precursor to job to -- don't have people coming in the front door you're not gonna hire somebody take care of him so -- I think it is gonna have an impact on our economy in the second half.
-- -- -- you're laughing so that tells me what you might think I'm laughing because it went -- with all -- respected Jimmy says I got kids that like the prices are up across the bar -- -- -- up.
And I look at this does things that -- saying.
Inflation and you know yeah -- -- here.
Is now Latin one point 7%.
Some think -- well.
Yeah our stress and everything is and -- -- Not so you don't have -- -- -- -- -- I guess there are any Florida and -- -- well.
We have -- you have to let me finish please I understand the argument up yeah.
Yeah but -- all those are phony.
But that's the only thing we can I mean the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts together put together typical basket of what people -- they don't just by -- corn based products -- -- Surging -- spike doctors don't.
Year over year you know they they -- yes -- you talk about what an article up about one and a half percent for crying out loud so you can either save the no we can't believe in -- physics or you can say yeah that's what we don't want -- -- -- one point 7% that's what I look at that's what I think I don't think it wasn't happy when you look at talk about well.
This is like Groundhog Day right we had this conversation before look at -- there's there's a bigger issue which is out when when -- in the economic cycle on the up part of the cycle.
Then the quote unquote inflation the higher prices from food court.
Would be out of Zora and it would be passed along -- the growth of other things higher incomes higher job levels in a lower unemployment.
But we're not at that point the the -- -- so critical is that because we are at this stall speed in the economy.
Now this is adding you know another two -- some sort of the camel's back here.
And and I am afraid that if you look at the every -- -- in the middle class person hasn't raised more money is not earning more money when you got another three or 4%.
That it acts -- it was an economy just goes someplace else it goes so goes the oil at and you don't.
You don't that doesn't -- that way for you doesn't.
Yeah I think it -- -- brings up a much bigger point which is when we have a natural disaster like this he really hearkens back to the people that wanna take -- chainsaw.
-- government spending.
When you have a natural disaster the government provides a social safety net and we look at programs like -- snap program the food stamp program.
We didn't have -- in a -- like there's millions of Americans will go hungry.
If we didn't have the Forest Service there wouldn't be people to fight fires and -- businesses and so they are people that wanna go and use a -- and cut the federal budget means.
Discussing -- going on in congress right now against the agriculture budget.
Now is not the time to use -- -- the -- -- absolutely critical programs that so many Americans rely on in this I don't.
I don't get into a million do you think -- don't know -- that Avant.
I think prices will go up but I think they'll come back down and I think it's a relative minor cases small bump in the road okay.
That the issue here though the Jonas if the drought gets worse could that threatened global prices.
Yet if it did turn out were in this super cycle of heat for whatever reason and we have this for like the next five years yet there's going to be serious problems that's not just prices going up because there's more demand like we -- that's going on and gas and that's -- a bad thing is -- the economy's turning around.
But he's he's a price of more all food going up because -- -- grow food that's a crisis or cause a recession but not the other one.
I wasn't offset these increases was -- the highest wage growth this year in the first six months -- that we've seen since 07 so.
That average income going up exceeds how much more years -- on gas and food even with the drought situation so.
As long as wages are going up of these prices it is really not an issue for the average person.
If wages we're going -- -- -- in this will be much harder on your budget but if you're making more money than you -- six months ago -- -- -- the -- quite honestly tell -- exactly you brought it up -- not apply it to where the overall -- -- crawl around pretty -- divvy it up -- all the overall wage increase has -- actually the -- and not at the of the -- -- -- -- -- just gone -- faster than the average price this year -- last six months I believe it has so that would counter that argument if.
The regular and other you have anger you know what's going on right now which is that the commodities traders and hedge funds managers are driving up speculation even more -- my drive prices up.
All right okay -- that's all other discussion we'll get -- -- at some other time but thank you so much are right the economy going by giving workers.
At least three weeks after paid vacation.
Former labor secretary says that'll work that someone -- says.
He's right.
Yeah he is a stimulus plan workers might like but wouldn't work.
A mandate for all Americans to get at least three weeks of paid vacation right now must get to.
President Clinton's former labor secretary Robert -- says this will help get our economy back on track and Jonas says.
Some but -- -- us.
This is a toppled because it sounds ridiculous on on the surface and there's like an and I will also lowered the unemployment rate has yet to fill these jobs that you have these people on -- leave so.
In theory would do that that's not the reason to do -- the other reason to do it may be.
Is some countries like Germany would -- very good financial shape compared to us right now have more paid occasionally do.
Other countries like Japan and even less paid vacation and we do and their economies have been include a thirty year depression at this point.
So it might work we -- a quiet for a few years it in a period of -- unemployment.
To see what happens and then have expired today and then I'll analyze the numbers we'll see what goes on.
-- his life is a vacation Gary V.
I've shown -- must be part European yeah I.
Thought that we want to be so much like -- are people like giant -- Thought another great European strategy.
Of it -- -- but.
First -- for many reasons this is silly but the but the first apartments is worst got to come from you know people like outsourcing.
Are you don't just have a plan for weeks break case you -- like the money just -- bring down from the trees.
Complex I.
Industries are gonna by momentarily.
I try to -- -- sufficient that they are now it's just silly none of these mandated.
Hokey things from central and hang around well knowing -- -- -- -- -- manufacturing company did you give them three weeks.
-- to the point here if it's a health and wellness of your employees and healthier employees who have improved productivity and we impact your bottom line.
-- rice is on to the idea which is we should care about our employees care about their health and wellness and ultimately that is good for business the idea of three make their case may be by the right tactic but ultimately healthier employees are good -- our business have -- -- to treat employees like cogs in the wheel this whole.
I didn't -- -- you -- -- take your employees to build a company and that's how companies successful it's the president but it's all -- -- that make a company successful.
I tell me what what the student to your small business.
Ha well I would put me out eighteen people times should probably put about 275.
To 350.
Thousand dollars cash money it would not -- it might does not want.
-- -- I mean I don't know where this cum by -- economics comes from but it typically in a free market if people are not treated very well they'll go to another job guess what right now we're not in deposition so we wouldn't I there's a lot of things we shouldn't -- nice to do whenever there's no I don't want -- -- -- -- like preexisting medical conditions can go ahead.
What lot of weight while we give 52 weeks paid vacation I mean really.
Like -- 600 dollar projects that we gave me 2009 and given 3000 dollar -- if that's the map if that's the way it -- look what this is gonna do is take a small business and there are again people he's gonna hire -- right or it's gonna take a slightly bigger business and he's gonna say you know what.
If -- an applicant John Smith from the party if you're I think -- planet is about I don't don't give them three.
It's -- -- they're -- about health and wellness is not.
About how did not help us think about people Carolina boy their own healthy and well in this Philadelphia flipped -- -- -- -- -- of happiness a.
Okay go ahead yet ten seconds then.
I think the employees that health and -- this isn't being sarcastic about employees at -- if you care about your employees you'll help and work with them a wellness programs.
That were ultimately be good -- business.
Thanks -- and thank you Evan for joining us we appreciate it.
And we talked about the devastating drought.
Now get the name that can help save the farmers and help you pay for the price spikes at the same time.
Britain and give -- -- -- -- I had fertilizers gonna help farmers -- plant.
And help consumers by the end the -- I think up point 5%.
Well okay Gary be your prediction.
Amazon to your back to school shopping there -- up 50% over the next few years and -- what -- day.
Not it was a drop from the take -- time to speculate among the alternative energy bubble hasn't.
30% a year -- -- tell me this and housing and his bottom -- comes up 125% by the end.
-- -- I think and have been the London.

With Intent
The Trickster in Heels-Book One
Darragha Foster
larger image
Book One in The Trickster in Heels series.
Dr. Paige Barlow wants to perfect a new form of therapy she's devised—counseling the gods. A therapist to the real stars, you might say. She knows who needs her couch first—Loki, the Norse god of mischief and fire. To mend the rift in his heart is going to take more than talk—it's going to take joint sessions with another god. Odin. One cannot summon gods to a sofa without taking a bit of heat, however. While trying to help the two gods mend old wounds, Paige finds herself enveloped in their carnal ways. Past lovers reunite while the mortal who brought them back together finds out what it truly means to be taken by a god with intent.

"Tell me what you feel." It was a command. The tone of his voice had lost its lilt, its playfulness.
This is not unexpected, however.
She knew his nature. Paige took a deep breath and focused on her framed degrees in psychology and profiling. Two of many. Scandinavian studies, metaphysics, history, sociology, archeology. She'd spent a lot of time in university. It was about to pay off.
I can do this. I am going to help him. Whether he wants it or not.
She feigned fear and balked. "I don't like this." She rattled her manacled hands above her head. "Please, unlock these things." They weren't tight. They were barely restrictive.
He isn't in this to hurt me.
She knew she could maintain her cool. She had walked through a death row prison block of child rapists and serial killers to meet with a patient once. Game face
This potential patient needs help. I need to be the doggy treat by which he shall come, roll over and be tamed.
She had just finished up the little ritual and had not expected such a swift response to her offering.
When it's done correctly it certainly does produce results. I'll have to make a note of the timeframe. When I can get to my keyboard.
She pulled on the cuffs again.
I had not expected the décor, however.
Her bedroom had rapidly shifted from muted tones of beige and blue to a stage production of
Pirates of Penzance
. She could even hear ocean waves. And the cry of gulls. Probably an albatross.
"Look…I'm a fan. I think very highly of you all, but this is too much. You've got sand on my carpet. And what is that? Pitch?"
She held her breath as he invaded her air space. The hair on her arms prickled. He
gives off an electrical current
. She knew that to win his trust she had to play along. Besides that, his fiery eyes unnerved her. He whispered, "What do you feel?"
She backed down. "Fear," she replied. "I feel fear."
"Of course you do. But I want to know what you feel here." He touched her lips with his fingertip. "And here." He used the fingers of his other hand to squeeze her privates through her comfortable, black cotton-spandex leggings. "Do you feel eager for release? Does your quim ache with need? Are you slick with readiness?"
She lied.
I am really turned-on. Damn it.
"If I removed your pants and forced my fingers, or my tongue, or my cock, between your legs, what would I find? A desert or an oasis?"
"I don't want you."
He laughed. "You summoned me! You cannot lie to me." He drew even closer and sniffed her throat. "I smell your desire."
He slowly unbuttoned her sweater. "You try to hide yourself within the confines of your over-loose and boring clothing. It doesn't work, you know. I can see through your mundane disguise. You are a feast fit for a god. Lovely full breasts. A healthy roundness to your belly and hips, and just enough cushion on your ass to make it all worthwhile. In fact, you could gain ten or fifteen pounds and I wouldn't mind a bit. You do enjoy a little anal play, yes?" He squeezed her left butt cheek.
"Don't? Don't compliment you? Don't touch you? You called me. I knew before I even heard your voice across the vault of heaven what it was you desired of me. From me. I know what it is you need. I have been waiting for you. Alas, it took until this evening for us to hook up. I like that phrase. When I travel as a salmon, I have a very handsome hook nose. Really, darling, it took you long enough to summon me."

Make a Monkey Tutorial
Friday, 21 October 2011
Apologies and new makes
Firstly, for making Christmas things.
It's not even the end of October.
My excuse?
I have a craft sale at the beginning of November, and I thought people might like to buy these little blocks as gifts.
I've used a mixture of old Christmas images and music scores to cover the sides and am quite pleased with how they've turned out.
There's these too.
And, you'll be pleased to know, some commissioned blocks for a friend, which are distinctly non-christmassy.
So that's my first apology.
My second is for my absence from visiting all your wonderful blogs as often as I'd like.
My excuse for this?
One word.
I am seriously selling everything from the loft in a bid (ha ha) to make some money and make some space in said loft.
This has so far involved a lengthy process of eliminating the good stuff from the rubbish and creating towering crates of boxes around the house; some to be put back into the loft (to be eBay-ed at a later date), some to be 'charity-shopped' and the rest to be photographed/ put onto eBay/ sent in post.
It's become a new obsession as I begin to check my items to see how many 'watchers' I have (spooky) and how many bids there are on my unopened pack of aged 2-3 Bob the Builder pants (no joke).
So, apologies.
I will try to catch up with you all as soon as I can.
Thank you for following, reading and commenting. You are marvellous people.
Have a great weekend, all xx
PS Don't forget to enter my giveaway- I will draw winners in Oct 31st. X

I really love those blocks, they are so clever. Harry will be very pleased I'm sure. Are you selling these? Its a shame your craft shows are so far away. eBaying is addictive. We are in the process of clearing stuff ready for our move. When you get lots of watchers it's exciting (as long as someone bids!). Good luck with fair and clearing x

Good old ebay ~ I currently trying to do the same and have boxes of things waiting to be photographed and uploaded ~ maybe I'll get around to doing some of it next week! Good Luck with your Bob the Builder pants!! :O)x

Your blocks are lovely, clever you! I am signed up to do a stall next month too.....exciting eh!
eBay is very addictive as long as you don't buy more than you sell! We sold a car last week and the first person to put a bid on was in Lithuania, slight disadvantage when you live in Wales! - 21 October 2011 23:08
Hello Annaboo:) I've been meaning to ask you something, but I was waiting when you wrote your next post...but anyhoot I was wondering on your border your tag with Annaboo's House...how did you make that? Because I'm going to be selling my crochet items and I thought that making tags where people can cut off after opening their item would be clever...it would also be perfect for printing coupons on the back so as not to waste any paper. It would be awesome if you could share that with me:) Thanks.

Gorgeous blocks!! Don't apologise for Christmas crafting, I'm planning my Christmas day menu at the moment.
My spare room is a bit cluttered at the moment too, I really need to sell some or thrift shop some to clear some precious space.

Your blocks are wonderful, I just love each and every one of them. Christmas is a huge season to buy for so you are so smart in being prepared fro your show. I bet they will sell out.
Have a lovely weekend,

Hi Jess,
I wanted to email you, but you're a no-reply blogger, so I hope you read this!
Yes, I make my Annaboo's House labels- I put them onto the items I sell. I bought some luggage tags and mini alphabet stamps ( try ebay for these) and voilà!.
Good luck with selling your crochet lovelies.

Don't apologise for talking Christmas early, especially if you are having a craft sale. Your blocks will sell very well I'm sure and many people will appreciate being able to buy gorgeous handmade Christmas products early.

Those blocks are a neat idea and something a bit different from the usual Xmassy things.All the shops round here have their decs and cards in already,and it's not even Hallowean yet!
I've been a little bit hooked on ebay recently...mainly buying though..so I daren't even go on there at the mo!

Those blocks are wonderful, they are really different. Love the ones with the music score of deck the halls.
I also have a pile of things to get on ebay but just can't summon the energy to get on with it, and when I did the kids started playing with the toys again!! - 22 October 2011 13:57

Those blocks, which are so pretty, bring back wonderful memories of some I had when I was a child.
Good for you for clearing things out. - 22 October 2011 18:14
- Leah said...
If it makes you feel any better, one of our local shops has been playing blimmin' Christmas carols since the end of August - aaaargh. So October is completely acceptable for Christmas talk!! I adore your blocks - they are AMAZING! You are such a clever woman. Good luck with the Bob the Builder pants! That has cracked me up. It's a long weekend here and our bedroom has turned into a dumpsite as we are cleaning out our attic too. Our Ebay equivalent is called Trade Me and I'll be throwing everything on to that and checking it in the same obsessive way! Have a fab week hon. L xx

Lurve the blocks!!! I've always been a no Christmas until December sort of girl and now I've got my shops on here I'm busy with Christmas now too, at Christmas I'll be starting Valentines Day and Easter, lol! Guess we need to work ahead for fayres and stuff though.
I'm seriously hooked on ebay as I'm clearing out cross stitch charts that I've hoarded for many years and will never get round to stitching, I have thousands! Who'd have thought you could make so much money from old stuff you don't want, lol! - 22 October 2011 19:25

Love the blocks and i think it is never to early to get things ready for christmas... we have already had a good look at different things in hobby craft and my little one has drawn her designs for felt christmas decks already! lol... hope the craft fair goes well... keep us updated.. and you should maybe look at selling some of your bits on ebay along with your other things you are "clearing out" as am sure people would be interested as they are so lovely... have a great weekend, take care, Tabs x - 22 October 2011 20:11

Haha, I've piles of things round the house for ebay too. You've done well actually getting yours listed, I must try harder. They've been there so long I just don't notice them now and keep forgetting.

Hi, my first time here and I LOVE those blocks, really pretty. I can sympathise with the Christmas making, I have a makers market at the end of November and I'm making like mad!

-TechPowerUp Exclusive- Hi guys! I created the game yesterday, so actually i have modified a lot of codes in. I am sharing the game in this forum to get any ideas or help for more games in the future. The game is still a crap about graphics and logic, but still is a game, my first game. Hope you enjoy! First Version: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wki0omylknbvcha Latest Version: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?i4z99r3akv0omie (if you find any better uploaders, pls let me know) EDIT: Just added an icon, slowed the game down and a few other things. I will wait a bit more and a new version is out Thinking of adding a platform game in level 2, like the aliens infiltrated in the ship lol Official YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no6mb7si-Bc Minimum requirements: Ram: 13kb CPU: ~60Mhz
@digi thanks @ MRCL with autofire you mean you press a key and than it fires without stopping, or you have space pressed down and it fires without stopping until you release it
A little start up page would be nice :3 I opened the game and turned around to do something and I was dead lol. If you add a start screen, have the obligatory control layout.
Thanks, gonna learn the startup screens, because i don't know how to add it Actually i was thinking even for a background cuz that black looks quite awful Maybe a photo from universe
HIGH SCORE TABLE Code and reuse in your next game. Explosion effects, power-ups, how to get lives back. E.g. Colour code your aliens, get the right combination sequence and get a new life. Catch something for a double gun powerup. TAB for smartbomb. Worry about gameplay features before you worry about background colours. Changing the background wont make people play the game longer. Not even it the background was a naked woman and you called the game fertilizer! ++++++++++ Why is this game so big? This could have been coded in basic or in assembler in about 2K or less.
Basically you're this red guy with a huge grey boner shooting Mentos at purple Froot Loops. Aleksander, do you have a fetish for fruity cereal and refreshing chewing gum?
lol Well in fact i know how to draw basic shapes, that has nothing to do with chewing gums or cereals I will try to create cigarettes next time @bonkers actually, i am trying to change simple things first, than difficult, like changing the players create levels, powerups, save & load, start new game screen, configuration, icon, full screen, anti-aliasing, controls, help etc.... The idea is, to change things which are easier for me first than difficult ones I am new to this language so actually it is a bit difficult for me
Thanks @complete bonkers I forgot to tell you that, if you don't have allegro installed in your pc, you need to have the monolith file, cuz the game cannot be played. Since the game cannot be played, i included it in the package. Also the msvr2010.dll is a file which links the objects with each other in visual basic 2010. The "total" game is the .exe file and the .ttf file. This is all the game really needs to be played. Is like the directX you need to install before you play latest games. The other files are exactly as directX package. So in total the game is a mere 110 kb
Here doesn't work the window opens and closes immediately EDIT: now runs OK it was corrupted, but the O are very dark here and almost no visible
Mere 110kb! I wonder what is padding that out. Something the compiler is leaving in... I noticed that the O's flicker quite badly on an older PC. You might want to take a look again at your redraw algorithms. Also I swapped the font out with this one (attached). I think it would be better if your code referred to a font file called font.ttf rather than you RENAMING a font arial.ttf! Otherwise good first steps. (Note that this ZIP file is actually an RAR file... but W1z refuses to allow TPU to upload RAR files... but that is the only compressor I have loaded on this PC)
Well done on your first game. You might want to make it so you lose a life when you collide with an enemy, this could easily be done by use of their x,y co-ordinates (they being the player and enemy).
Upped monitor brightness and they are more visible I think they should be green or red, more brigher. Occasionally appears ones in the far left side of the window and are allegedly impossible to kill for me at least because the tank moves to the right It's fun anyway
@ bonkers I got used to name fonts arial so that is for me I saw that kind of font in minecraft too. With that font, game goes down to... 43.1kb lol Anyway the problem with old pc is not anyones fault. Allegro 5.0.4 is programmed like this. So if i want to stop flickering i should use an old allegro. (maybe there is a hidden path to do this?) @derek Raise your screen brightness Thanks for pointing out! Yes i know that stupid part there, don't know anyway to make it work I just can fix the left or the right part, but not both! So, for example in the game, i have fixed the right part, because i am left-handed @razaron thanks for the idea
Glitchy? There are some rings which one cannot hit (or I cant seem to consistently). These are the rings that are on the far left/right side in between screens. That and there is like some random speedup for no apparent reason then slow down. Weird.

CSA College and University Collection Care Grant
Purpose The CSA College and University Collection Care Grant is intended to assist the costume and textiles collection of a college or university that receives little or no financial support from its institution. Funding may be used to support the care, conservation, and/or instructional mission of a collection of historic, period, or otherwise informative costume and textiles that are intended for preservation and are used for study by an institution that has a degree program in apparel, textiles, or theatre.
Description The $1500 College and University Collection Care Grant, first awarded in 2006, is intended to assist with the care, maintenance, preservation, and instructional missions of a college or university collection that is not eligible for a Small Museum Collection Care Grant. This is a small and highly focused grant, and because of this factor, it does not permit the "overhead" or "operational cut" that many colleges and universities take from grant monies that are awarded.

After clarifying proposals as needed, a final evaluation will be done and the Grant Committee will select the grant recipients.
Grant recipients will be announced at the National Symposium of the Costume Society of America. Grant funds will be available by June 15.

The sys admin's daily grind – Di
Di is All In
The more frequently a command is used, the fewer letters it should have, so the use of twokey commands like ls, mv, and df is second nature. We look at a previously little-known representative of this club, di.
To be fair, I have to admit that many two-letter commands compensate for their compact size with a breathtaking number of parameters. The tool I look at today, Di, is no exception. The name stands for "disk information" – it's a kind df on steroids. Like its role model, Di delivers information about filesystems, but with much more detail, and the output filters are much better.
Figure 1 shows the output from di ‑a, a list of all mounted filesystems, including filesystems that do not exist physically but that the kernel hallucinates into the directory tree. The parameter ‑x lets you specify filesystems you want Di to hide (e.g., di ‑a ‑x proc keeps the /proc entry from being listed). You can also specify multiple filesystems in a comma-separated list:
di ‑a U ‑x proc,tmpfs,fuse

Romain Grosjean is confident he will be much stronger in the 2013 Formula 1 season if he is given a new deal by his Lotus team.
The Frenchman was signed to partner Kimi Raikkonen at Lotus in 2012 and had a promising start to the year despite some early incidents. He was a good match to Raikkonen on speed, beating him 10-9 in qualifying, and finished on the podium three times.
The second half of the season was hard for Grosjean as he was involved in several accidents and received a one-race ban for his instigation of the crash at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix.
Lotus is expected to decide Grosjean's future soon, but the 26-year-old believes he is capable of repaying the team's faith if he is given the chance next year.
"I hope much stronger," said Grosjean about how he expects to performed in 2013. "Normally, it is one year to learning, two years to win, but in Formula 1 it is a bit different. It's hard to say how much stronger you are because all these things you digest over the winter, and restart with winter testing... we know where to start, what to test, what to improve.
"There are ups and downs, but I think this year has been mainly 10,000 more things I've learned than in the past."
Grosjean made his grand prix debut with Renault when he replaced Nelson Piquet Jr. from the 2009 European Grand Prix. He endured a tough few races before returning to GP2 in the middle of the 2010 season, which he had started by competing in GT racing. The French driver feels his performances this year have revised the perception people had of him based on his 2009 form.
"I think it started with the third place on the grid in Melbourne and then we had some podiums and the atmosphere inside myself and everything in the team has been working very well. I like working with all the guys," he said.
The Lotus driver also said he had been faster than he had predicted given his lack of experience.
"I think we were quicker than I was expecting. There have been some lows, but I think they helped me improve myself and I think the last four races have been interesting. So I feel much better than I did at the beginning of the season. I've been learning a lot, I'm still learning and improving myself a lot as well."
OPINION: Give him another chance - AUTOSPORT F1 editor Edd Straw
Lotus would be mad to cast off Romain Grosjean now. While he made too many mistakes in 2012 and there are very serious questions over his ability to assess risk while on track, he is simply too fast to be discarded.
Some argue he's already had his second chance. But the circumstances in 2009, when he raced alongside Fernando Alonso at Renault for half a season, were impossible. This year was his real rookie season and it's too often overlooked that he won the qualifying battle against World Champion teammate Kimi Raikkonen and finished on the podium three times.
If the mistakes carry on next year, then the situation would be different and he would have to be considered beyond help. But when you have a guy capable of being this fast – by which I mean as fast as anyone on the grid – it's essential to leave no stone unturned in harnessing his potential. A serious F1 team cannot afford to cast away such promise so soon.
Lotus is an ambitious team with some seriously good personnel. While they have been frustrated by Grosjean at times, everyone in a race team loves to see a driver who extracts the maximum speed from the car.
Taking a conservative second driver as a solid points banker over a potential superstar – and Grosjean really is fast enough to be just that if he can calm down – would be a disappointingly conservative step for a team that considers itself ambitious, creative and upwardly mobile.

Thinking that I may be unable to experience rural way of life again back in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I jumped on a chance of going to a local berry farm to pick strawberries with my family friends. So, off we left for the farm at about 6.40 a.m. This northbound drive took us about 30 minutes to reach the place. And upon our first steps onto this family-owned farm, we were greeted by the alluring sweet smell of strawberries--no kidding! Even the restaurant beside the parking lot couldn't beat it! It was only when we left that we started to smell something waffle sneaking out of the restaurant. These were after the berry picking:
Anyhow, mine was a rounded bucket of strawberries because the gentleman charged me US$9. Didn't want to get too much because I'll be moving out of my current apartment this weekend. So far, I've eaten only some of them plain because these red gems are SURPRISINGLY sweet! I think I'll freeze the remainder and use it in different things at my family friends' before I fly out. By the way, I'll blog less after this post till the day I reach Malaysia because I won't be having my own kitchen anymore for almost a month. (A real torture for me!)
Back to the main topic. Before I left for the farm that morning, I actually made "clay-pot" rice pudding, or "puud zai gou" 砵仔糕 in Cantonese, so that they'd be cooled enough for my breakfast by the time I got back. Yea, my breakfast for the day was the pudding and oodles of strawberries ... Hmm ...
I was inspired by so many different sources that I finally decided to give this a try. What's most encouraging was my encounter upon Siukwan's recipe for this traditional Cantonese snack! Her recipe calls for the ingredients that I already have. On the other hand, I've seen recipes that use wheat starch (澄麵粉,) something which I don't have--for now.
My exposure to Hong Kong media, such as TVB drama series and some HK-based radio programs, has really stirred up my curiosity for puud zai gou. What I've learned so far is that it was created in Toisan (or Taishan 台山,) a coastal city in the Chinese province of Guangdong (formerly known as Canton.) And because this was where my roots can be traced to, I got even more motivated to try it!
People say that the tradition is starting to lose its hold because this snack isn't as common as it was in HK anymore. But then, my observation told me that it's still something that brings back fond childhood memories to many Cantonese of older generations especially. The funny thing is I haven't seen this in Malaysia ... I wonder why. We've got Cantonese steamed custard 鮮奶燉蛋 (I'll try to blog about this later,) HK-style egg tarts 港式蛋撻, jin dui 煎堆 or deep-fried sesame balls, and some other classic Cantonese desserts and snacks. But, we just don't have this rice pudding and ginger milk curd 薑汁撞奶 (I'll try to blog about this later, too ...) Could it be due to the fact that puud zai gou only came to popularity in the 1930s and -40s, when the migrations of the forefathers of Southeast Asian Chinese had already taken place in large numbers well before that?
This is my first time having the pudding and I love it! It's not too sweet, has got a chewy texture ... I really love the aroma of rice and adzuki bean blending together. Felt happy as I bit into those red beans. Anyhow, I used muffin molds as I don't have any proper claypot ... Worked for me!
Here's a good recipe for puud zai goh that I adapted from Siukwan's:
Brown-Sugar Clay-Pot Rice Pudding with Adzuki (Red) Beans 黃糖紅豆砵仔糕
240g rice flour 粘米粉
160g brown sugar
*Or any other types of sugar, but white and brown sugar are the most common ones
750ml water (about 3 cups) water, divided
some cooked and softened adzuki (red) beans
- Brush the molds with some cooking oil and place some adzuki beans in them, set aside. Have the steamer or wok ready for steaming
- Mix 1 cup (250ml) water and rice flour together thoroughly to combine--mixture will be slightly stiff
- Meanwhile, bring the remaining 2 cups (500ml) water and brown sugar to a boil in a saucepan and till the sugar is dissolved completely
- Gradually pour the hot syrup into the flour mixture while you keep stirring/whisking them together till they're well-blended
- Working quckly, pour to divide the batter among the molds and immediately steam it over high heat while the batter is still hot for about 25 minutes or till it's all cooked through--don't oversteam it; otherwise, the texture of the pudding will get tough
- Remove the molds from the steamer and let the pudding cool aside till it is cooled enough to be handled.
Use toothpick or skewer to pick it out of the molds and serve it at warm or room temperature. Refrigerate any leftover.
To serve the pudding again, resteam it over high heat for 3-5 minutes or till they're just hot enough.

Chapter 5: The Great Footage Fallacy
Here is something that few animators seem to think about, but which has bugged me for years: Are we animating foot-long strips of film, or are we animating increments of time? If we are all into globalization, let's work to a global standard. I would like to foment an animation revolution in the dimension of time!
Footage. We were all weaned on it. Every American filmmaker, certainly every American animator, was trained to think in terms of feet of film. How many feet of film an animator can turn out per week was often his measure of productivity and measure of pay.*
When I first arrived in Prague, with the initial purpose of developing co-production with my New York studio, I ran into an immediate snag. Czech animators measure their output in meters! One meter of film equals 3.2808 feet. But what the hell does that really mean? I saw the threat of endless complications and calculations in the process of co-production. I began to realize that the whole idea of measuring animation in terms of the length of a strip of film was meaningless and madness, and I wondered why we in America had never realized this before?
Look. Movie film goes through a theater projector at the rate of 24 frames per second. So how many frames of film are there in a foot? 16! 16 frames equals two-thirds of a second! No one watching a movie is at all aware of feet of film whizzing by. If one is interested in the length of a movie, or the length of a scene, and wants to measure it, they will use a stopwatch. They will measure, minutes, seconds, and increments thereof. As I constantly point out in lecturing about filmmaking, we have a medium that exists in the dimension of time. Footage is especially nonsense in digital computer animation, where there is no such thing as a reel of film or even spool of tape. There is not a physical length of anything! The only length is time. Nearly everyone these days has a video player at home. Once it was a VHS tape player, and later, a DVD player. Did anyone know how many feet of the tape inside the VHS cassette, or how long was the spiral groove on a DVD, or how long a segment of either was needed to record one minute of action? How many are aware that the tape in the same VHS cassette spooled out 30% faster when recorded in the American NTSC system, than in the European PAL system? But who cared? The important thing is that the action produced on the TV screen played at the exact same speed, and that is what counted! As I write this, neither tape nor disc is dominant. Movies are down-loaded onto the computer's memory, and what matters is the length of time needed to play them!
Time in Your Hands
In most of the world outside of North America measure of film lengths are not in feet but in meters. But what is it that every filmmaker on the entire planet has in common? Seconds, minutes, and hours! - TIME! Movies exists in the dimension of time.
So I had printed up a new type of animation exposure sheets. The traditional exposure sheets have horizontal ruled lines down their length, each line representing a frame of film. The numbered animation drawings for the various levels are entered on the lines representing the frames of film they are to be photographed upon. Every 16th line, representing a foot-length of film, is usually a heavy line. This is an arbitrary measurement, as it actually represents just two-thirds of a second. We certainly don't measure our work in two-third seconds. Of course not. We measure our scenes in whole seconds, and increments thereof.
I would not mind the change as long as the pay is the same. This is generally overlooked by most commentators on this issue. Equating 16 frames to 24 or 25 frames with the argument that the animation world has changed and we should be paid in seconds not feet, to me is a pay cut. Animators beware of this topic, it can be misleading. A point to remember is that the old animators fought and won this form of pay, so let's hope that new animators don't lose sight of this.
I've worked with all sorts of "log" sheets or "dope" sheets over the years as a stop-motion animator. Time has always been "King." The footage issue may well come from the "sync-block" (an editor's tool for breaking down magnetic sound tracks for film.) One rotation of a 35mm sync-block wheel is 16 frames or one foot.An animator has to live in "time" and not "footage" (which can be more of a producer's point of view.) Yet , even producers these days are expecting "seconds" of animation per day (not footage.)
As far as I remember, second-based x-sheets have been in use in Holland at Toonder Studios in the 50's. In the 60's, they also used 100 frame sheets for 4 seconds at 25 fps (TV).
For the last many years, we use the standard sheets with a bar every 8 frames, since it is an easy measure to tap, and easily devidable.
It is a crutch, yes, but one that holds - adding extra lines or printing numbers other than the traditional ones have shown over the years to be very restrictive. As an independant studio that also subcontracts and has to be able to work with others, (and that has attracted a lot of foreign talent over the years all used to different systems) we have to be as flexible as possible.
In other words: anything goes... as long as it does the job in the best possible way. I have seen sheets with lines every 10, 16, 24, 25 and 30 frames come and go.
Also, some of the studios have greyed every other frame on their sheets. This has the added disadvantage of not copying or faxing clearly. As always, simple is best.
We calculate in seconds and when sub-contracting for (or comparing to) US-based studios, we convert this to feet, as we are asked to do so (an easy Excel formula takes care of that). It has never been a problem.
As to digitalisation, in the 1927 Fritz Lang masterpiece Metropolis (recently restored on a great DVD) the 'boss' has a large 10-hour clock, which is also the length of the workers' shifts...
Fine. Seconds as a standard measurement....for traditional animation.
But we know since the begining of animation history those quotas
were put into place for the benefit of accountants and producers. Second for second or foot for foot or metre for metre there is a difference between the two guys' work who do the exact length but one had
a crowd scene and one animated an eye blink.
Today animation is not the gruelling time consuming , money consuming
form it was in the day of the camera and opaquers, thanks to technology. Yes, it
still seems gruelling because, thanks again to technology , we are required to turn out more in lesser time under the turn of last century's measurement.
I oblige myself to this tradition because I'm an honorable guy and signed something saying I would, but it is sensless to animators. We are not film processors. When I was a part of making a direct to video I would joke then why are still measuring in film units.
How then should animator's work be measured? There is a deadline. Everyone works toward that deadline doing their best. Individuals are measured and obsreved by how hard they work and the quality of that work, how they team play, etc. The same as many other jobs are reviewed and assessed.
That way the artist who produces 30 ft of an eye blink and holds...or sheer crap
cannot become the bean-counter's darling.
But this would make those who hold the gold nerovus to say the least. But in my little perfect world It could be done.
Seeing that this is the entertainment business can you imagine an actor being assessed or paid by the footage that winds up on the screen?
I imagine that the use of footage as a standard came about because of film editors, who physically cut and spliced the film in short strips and who probably
found it convenient to think in terms of length. There are stories of Charlie
Chaplin editing his own films with lengths of negative film stock draped about
his neck and shoulders as he sat in front of his editing bench. With some experience, an editor might learn that 2 feet was a good length for a quick reaction closeup, for example, and tend to think of his cuts in terms of feet rather than seconds or fractions of seconds. This is 35mm, by the way; 16mm film has 40 frames to the foot, I believe.
I can't even begin to imagine working in feet. I'm a computer animator in the visual effects industry ans all my time thinking is in frames and seconds. I have a feeling that as computers become ever more prevalent, the imerical length relation to time will be phased out...

text: Home Politics The Fallacy of Bipartisanship RightWatch: If the health care law is overturned, it will be proof that compromise wasn't the answer. By: Jack White Posted: April 3 2012 12:25 AM 0 Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) with President Obama (Saul Loeb/AFP) If, as most legal observers seem to expect, the Supreme Court in June overturns the most important provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, it will be a major setback for President Barack Obama at a crucial time in his re-election campaign. No matter how some overly optimistic commentators try to spin it otherwise, losing the signature legislative achievement of what Obama hopes will be only his first term would be a huge defeat both for his policies and for his image. It would raise troubling questions about Obama's approach to governing, especially during his first two years in office, when he seemed to place so much value on trying to reach bipartisan compromises with his Republican opponents that his liberal supporters felt he was turning his back on them. He was so eager to find common ground with the GOP that he gave up his own ideas and adopted theirs instead. That was really dumb. Obama's relentless pursuit of agreement with increasingly partisan conservative Republicans produced inferior policies. On top of that, Republicans have proved that they simply cannot be trusted to participate in building a consensus, even if it is based on their own ideas. The notion of "loyal opposition," so essential to the success of a democratic system, is anathema to Obama's enemies. As the battle for his second term heats up, Obama has become more aggressive. He seems finally to have learned that there is just no dealing with these people. It was a costly lesson. For Republicans, defeating him at every turn was the highest priority, far more important than offering realistic solutions to the plethora of catastrophic problems that he inherited from the previous administration. Radio blabbermouth Rush Limbaugh repeatedly declared his "hope that Obama fails." Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell vowed that "the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." Yet Obama, in ways that now seem naive, tried his best to find common ground. There is no clearer example of this than his evolving position on health care. Obama started out as a critic of an individual mandate forcing everybody to buy health insurance. Instead he outlined a universal health care plan that would have given everyone access to coverage similar to what Congress receives, with subsidies for those in lower-income brackets. He also would have created a national health care insurance exchange as an option for those who wanted private health insurance. The idea was to make obtaining a policy so attractive that there would be no need to force people to buy one. But within a few months after being sworn in, Obama realized that his ambitious plan had no chance of overcoming opposition from Republicans and conservative Democrats. So in a flip-flop worthy of Mitt Romney, his likely opponent this fall, he became a convert to the mandate. Forcing healthy young people to buy insurance was essential to making the system work. Once the notion of a mandatory, government-controlled single-payer system similar to Medicare was abandoned, the mandate was the only way to extend private health insurance coverage to those with pre-existing conditions without driving costs through the roof. Mind you, the mandate was originally a Republican Big Idea, cooked up by conservative policy wonks at places like the Heritage Foundation as a free market alternative to the proposal put forth by then-first lady Hillary Clinton. It had big-time Republican support. Obama's calculation appeared to be that he could co-opt some GOP lawmakers into supporting the bill by adopting a Republican approach.
