After some 18 years and nearly 13,000 pages, I have completed the entire series. The series that started me in writing a book journal since this was one long continuous narrative spread over fourteen novels and many, many years of writing and reading. I'm grateful to Mr. Sanderson for finishing it off, although it would have been much nicer to have read Jordan's wriring instead. The fact that Sanderson is a Mormom put some very weird twists on the plot thread with Rand and his three women as his wives or partners. Anyway - it was all wrapped up nicely. The Dark One is put back in his place and the bore is not sealed but completely made new. The world needs dark and light, that is the ultimate call here. A wonderfully non-Christian way of looking at things. The fact that Sanderson did not change this aspect of the story earns my great respect and thankfulness. What else can anyone say but that it's fantastic. Perfect? No, but that shouldn't mar anyone's reading experience. An ending, not THE ending--because the wheel doesn't end. As a side note, I'm happy to see Sanderson working in some queer characters (other than gratuitous lesbian scenes that show up in other sword & sorcery). A warning, though: If you're like me, and bored by battle or fight scenes, quite a lot of this book will be a chore to get through. However--make sure that you do read them, because they all pay off in very important ways. Normally I would say highly recommended, but that would mean committing yourself to 14 novels, the smallest of which is about 700 pages. They are VERY worth it, especially to get to this ending, though, so consider it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt like I was deluged by a tidal wave. Then came the ending. It kind of made me feel "vanilla". Sanderson did an excellent job of wrapping this up. I was in awe. I look forward to re-reading the whole series in 5-8 years. Edit: I realized this morning that my words were on the light side. Considering that I've been reading WoT since '95 or '96, and have experienced the travail of my soul [When I heard that Jordan had died, I practically swore vengeance upon his barely cold corpse "how could he do this to me!?"] and then was raised to the clouds when I heard Sanderson [probably my favorite fantasy author now] was going to complete the series. I have run the whole gamut of emotions with this series. Excitement, boredom [tugging of hair anyone?], rage and despair, hope and finally, satisfaction. How does one encapsulate 17'ish years in a couple of paragraphs? I've gone from a highschool teenager to a married 30something security guard. So I don't write a review worthy of the NY Times, I write this little ditty to remind me that all things can be gotten through, that they end and that they can be good and bad. This series will be something that sticks with me for the rest of my life. Nice to have something like that. Great. I just spent 40 minutes typing my review for goodreads and it didn't save so I'm going to have to start over. For now on, I am using google drive to save my reviews. Oy, so annoyed. I have waited so long for the ending of the series, and it was so worth it. This is one of the first fantasy series that I read and helped me discover a whole new world of books, the fantasy genre which is my favorite genre to read (though I do like others a lot as well). The older books in the series were typically better and then went down hill as the books went on. I feel like Brandon Sanderson really revitalized the series when he was brought in to finish the series for Jordan. I've always wondered why in this series why the prologues were so long. In this final novel, the prologue was 75 freaking pages long. Seriously?? Did it really need to be that long? The whole book was 900 pages long and I felt like some trimming could have been done but whatever. All the books in the series were overly long so I shouldn't have been surprised. As I typed my review the first time, I was debating whether to give this 4 or 5 stars and settled on 5. The main reasons I wanted to give it 4 stars is because of Robert Jordan's apparent hatred of women. He portrays any woman in power as manipulative and power hungry and controlling. One quote that supports my theory of Jordan hating women: "'All men are ignorant, Aes Sedai' Androl said. 'The topics of our ignorance may change, but the nature of the world is that no man may know everything.'" Another is: "You Aes Sadai all assume that the way things have been done is the only way to do them. Well, the black Tower will not be subject to you. We can look after ourselves." And another: " You want saidin to be tainted again. You Aes Sedai... you're threatened by the idea of men who can channel, undermining your authority." Anyway, I am able to ignore Jordan's sexist, and annoying characterazations of women so I did give it 5 stars cause it was very good. Now for some story spoilers. Moirene finally comes back after lots of forshadowing in previous books. She comes in when Rand and Egwene are having a bit of a face off, so I just about squeeled. I think all main and supporting characters who haven't been killed off show back up in the final book, including Lioal whom I love. Matt I also loved, he always had great lines and his cursing, even if he was a bit of a womanizer. They do tease you into thinking Matt is dead, but however he isn't. They also lead you to believe that Lan and Elayne and Faile are dead but they are not. However, the one main character they do kill off is Egwene. I figured at least one main character had to die. Supporting characters who died were Siuan, Gawyn and Gareth Bryne, though I didn't care much about them. Brigette was also killed off. I was more upset by her being killed but she is almost immediately brought back by the Horn of Valere. She is dead, as she ends up going away to get reborn. I think the biggest surprise of the book is that Rand does not die. Yes, you read that right. After all of the hinting and implying he would die, he does not. He does loose the ability to channel but he seems happy about it. So over all, a very good book. I even put it on my favorite shelf. It was a great ending to a great series despite Jordan's apparent hatred of women. Tsundoku Reviews Brief Summary: Rand Al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, has come to Shayol Ghul to face the heart of all evil, the Dark One, and the world and its future rests on his shoulders. The Last Battle has come. The Tsundoku Scale: Top of Pile, 10 out of 10. The Good: The best part was, as always, the characters. The Pattern includes everyone, and this last book touches on everyone you've ever read about throughout the series—they all play a role (even Huirin!). I loved how the characters of Androl and Pevara evolved out of nowhere and almost stole the show. Only the Wheel of Time series could introduce two new characters in the last book of a 14-book tome each with 1,000 pages per book, and make both of these characters some of the most endearing characters in the series. And Logain, too, has an unexpectedly touching moment. As with the other two books prior to A Memory of Light, the tone of this book is much closer to that of the first books in the series, with more humor and less of the darker sense the books had begun to take. Jordan loves incredible finishes and literally the entire book is the Last Battle—so get your popcorn ready. For some reason, I have always loved Rand as a character (contrary to all the people who just call him crazy), and I guess it's because I've never seen another character try so hard to be good that they almost lose what it means to be good. There is a fine line in what sacrifices should be made for the "greater good," and, for a time, Rand almost sacrifices his soul in the process and comes dangerously closing to acting like a villain. For years, I have waited to see whether Rand would die or not, consoling myself to each possible conclusion of his and the book's story—yet upon reading A Memory of Light I found an ending that somehow still managed to surprise me, and, most importantly, left me feeling satisfied and complete. It's incredibly hard to end a series, much less one of this magnitude, but Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, and Harriet Jordan were somehow able to leave me with that warm tingly feeling of just right. (Yes, I am blatantly tacking on the below note about the entire series, but I can't help it. If it's too long for you then skip to "The Bad" section that follows. But if you actually finished the entire WOT series then you can probably handle this too!) The Wheel of Time is just so complex and so vivid, and I honestly don't know how Jordan managed to not only keep track of almost his characters, but also make them uniquely full of depth. From characters like Berelain whom I disliked at first, to the whole story arc of the Aiel, to even the hinted past and regrets of the Forsaken, there are few characters that remain only 2-D personalities. And yet at the same time, the series itself remains 2-D in a way, like a cliché, and that is what makes it all the more endearing. Most people hate clichés for being overused and worn out, yet I look at clichés differently: I think they are the epitome of the feelings that we can all relate because they are so overused and worn out. In such a way, epic fantasy, is much like a cliché—you know there will be a journey involving a hero against some terrible villain, often the hero has to come of age in order to win, and then there are some prophecies and epic battles and your story is done. And yet despite being "cliché," the best books of a genre never feel overused or worn out, and its because they refine and sharper clichés into something more true—they make clichés come alive again with all the stirred up feelings they had once caused when they were first created. The Wheel of Time series is the tantamount of what a cliché aspires to be; it makes the world of epic fantasy feel brand new and fresh, and I am honored to have come along for the journey. When a cliché is revolutionized in such a way, there is only one word used to describe it: a classic. The Bad: I wished there was more Rand, but in truth, Rand's story had really finished when he had rediscovered his purpose and joy in life upon the slopes of Dragonmount after almost killing his father. All Rand really had to do was face the Dark One—which he certainly does in this book. I also found myself still slightly frustrated with Perrin by the end. I always liked Perrin for his steadfastness and honesty, but by the end those qualities were actually what disappointed me the most in him because they were directly tied to his continual inability to change and adapt. This is why we had the Crossroads of Twilight disaster, which was one of the worst books I have ever read (definite bottom of the pile!), and I thought Perrin had turned the corner since then with his internal struggles, but I feel like he never quite figures it out satisfactorily compared to how long the reader has to deal with his whining. And there was one particular event that I had been waiting an excruciatingly long time to happen with Olver that didn't quite happen… but I won't give away anymore. Congratulations to the readers who have finished this incredible series! Check out Tsundoku Reviews/a> for more great reviews! no reviews | add a review

Citizens Volunteer Hospital. Corner of Broad Street and Washington Avenue
This Civil War fundraising certificate contains views of the exterior and interior of the volunteer hospital opposite the Philadelphia, Wilmington, & Baltimore Railroad depot in Philadelphia. The hospital opened on September 5, 1862, and closed on August 11, 1865. During the American Civil War, the hospital provided care to the most seriously wounded before their reassignment to other hospitals. The exterior view shows civilians and a troop of Union soldiers standing in front of the hospital as a train arrives. The interior view shows rows of beds lining a central hallway. Women volunteers attend to bed-ridden soldiers and set a long table for a meal. The illustrations are framed by decorative motifs that include the seal of the city of Philadelphia; angels hovering above an able-bodied and an injured soldier in front of columns inscribed "The Glory of the Volunteer"; American flags; and floral elements. The work is by James Fuller Queen, a Philadelphia lithographer and pioneer chromolithographer. Queen served in the militia in 1862–63 and created several lithographs with Civil War subjects, including contribution certificates for the city's relief institutions.

In the journalism business when you run across a Truth Teller, you value them. You respect them. You trust them. Particularly when they prove to be right over and over again.
Truth Tellers are willing to share everything of public record with you, warts and all, even if it might make themselves or their agency look the slightest bit bad. They tend to have a thick skin and understand that at the end of the day, all public good is served by being OPEN and most of all, telling the TRUTH. Both openness and truth in government lead to credibility. Read More»

Ballard should have probed the cases leading up to the moment the couple was caught in the throes of passion. Do you really think they would dare be caught doing such judicial tomfoolery AFTER they were caught? Read More»

Farmers looking to book fertilizer ahead of next spring can expect to see some softening of prices over the winter months, before seasonal demand picks up and costs rise again, according to a fertilizer market analyst.
For nitrogen it will depend on the product, with ammonia likely to see the highest prices in relation to urea and liquid nitrogen, said David Asbridge, president and senior economist with NPK Fertilizer Advisory Service at Chesterfield, Missouri.
Ammonia stocks are getting tight, but solid production in the U.S. will leave the market with adequate supplies in the spring, said Asbridge. He expected ammonia prices would soften over the winter as inventories are rebuilt. However, with expectations for large corn acres next spring, the resulting demand will eventually lead to a seasonal bump in the spring.
With urea, issues with the low Mississippi River are causing some boats to back up in the Gulf Coast, said Asbridge. Urea prices may have a little room to the downside, he said, but noted the market is likely already close to its bottom for the winter.
It's a similar story in liquid nitrogen, as the U.S. is both importing and producing at record levels. He expected inventories would build through the winter, but prices would still jump in the spring.
Farmers are generally coming off a good cash year in North America, which means they will likely start booking product for the spring season before the New Year, said Asbridge. He noted high commodity prices should make fertilizer a "good buy for farmers."
In the U.S., farmers will use six to eight per cent less phosphate and potash on their 2013 crops, said Asbridge. He said there were large applications ahead of the 2012 crop, but production failed to live up to expectations due to the drought conditions seen across much of the growing area. As a result, the phosphate and potash is still in the ground in many cases.
However, nitrogen needs to be re-applied each year, as it does not carry over well in the soil. Soil that is too dry will see its nitrogen dissipate into the air if there is no water to hold onto. If the ground is too wet, the nitrogen leaches too far down into the soil for the plants to utilize, said Asbridge.
Phosphate and potash prices are also forecast to be stable, or down slightly, through the winter before moving back up in the spring.
India and China are also not stepping up to the table to renegotiate contracts for potash the coming year, said Asbridge. There's also an oversupply of potash in Canada and Eastern Europe right now.
Phosphate came out of the spring season with tight inventories, but export demand has been relatively slow as India has cut back on its demand, said Asbridge. That lack of demand is causing stocks to start to build up, which should put some pressure on values.
If India does step up and start buying, then there could be some activity in the phosphate market, but if they don't, Asbridge expected prices would hold where they are, before seeing a seasonal bounce in the spring.

San Diego Foreclosure Listings
Looking to Purchase a San Diego Foreclosure? You have found the most accurate list of foreclosures in San Diego County. No fees or registration is required to view all of these homes for sale and all listings on the Team Aguilar website are updated hourly.
Is it difficult to purchase a foreclosure in San Diego?
Yes & No, it's easier to purchase a foreclosure than a short sale because foreclosures are on the market and ready to be sold. They have no liens against the home, the mortgage has been wiped out and you can close escrow in 30-45 days from when your offer is accepted by the bank. What can make the purchase process difficult is if you have very few homes available to purchase like we currently do. We have seen a steady decline in foreclosure listings in San Diego and this is driving prices up and making the offer process much more difficult. Make sure you're working with a quality REALTOR® who is representing your best interest.
Foreclosure vs Short Sale
A foreclosure is a REO property, it has been foreclosed on by the bank thus eliminating the previous homeowner. These homes have had all previous liens removed so there is no longer a mortgage owed against the home. A foreclosure can usually be purchased in 30-45 days. A short sale is where the homeowner still owns the property and is usually still living in the home. The homeowner typically owes more money to the bank than what the home is worth and either can't afford to make the mortgage payment or wants to sell the home to avoid foreclosure. Unlike a foreclosure a short sale still has a mortgage against the property and this requires the current homeowner to get approval from the bank to complete the sale. Purchasing a foreclosure can be completed in 30-45 days. The process to purchase a short sale can take a bit longer. I would not discourage you from looking at short sale homes for sale in San Diego because as the economy improves we are seeing fewer foreclosures and we anticipate short sales to be around for another 2-3 years. My suggestion is to look at the short sale real estate listings on our website in addition to the foreclosures for sale. If you're not working with a REALTOR® please contact us. Having so many years of experience selling foreclosures and short sales we have an excellent track record of representing clients and helping them find the perfect home whether it's a foreclosure, short sale or regular sale.
Options to Avoid Foreclosure
You may have arrived to this page looking for options to avoid foreclosure. We can help you explore all of your options. If you feel overwhelmed and unsure of what your options are we would be happy to meet with you in person or perhaps over the phone. Whether it's a loan modification, deed in lieu, real estate short sale or bankruptcy make sure you know what your options are so you can decide what will be best for you and your family. Feel free to contact us by phone, email or using the contact us page. We have helped hundreds of families in San Diego.
Hopefully all of this information will help you and as always feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

What is the difference between bank owned and a short sale?
Bank owned is already owned by the bank. It has ZERO liens recorded against the property. The bank wants to sell this home as soon as possible. They do not want to keep the real estate in their portfolio any longer then they have to.A short sale is sold at a sales price that is less then the amount owned against the property. Because the payoff is short of the mortgage balance, the bank is taking a loss.
Buying a short sale can take longer then buying a bank owned property because the bank has to approve the short sale which requires the seller to get approved for a short sale much like they had to originally get approved for the purchase loan and show that they could afford to make the payments, now they must show the bank they have no way of continuing to make their mortgage payment.

That first camera is something a photographer never forgets. If an aspiring shutterbug is on your gift list, you want to be sure you're buying the right camera at a comfortable price. Here are a few tips to buying—and using—that memorable gift.
A first camera should be simple enough for the beginner to use right away, but still contain more advanced features the new photographer can grow into. Samsung's WB150F Smart Camera strikes that balance. Some of its most noteworthy features include:
Beyond the basics, the WB150F offers a wide range of extra features for the beginning shutterbug to explore:
The WB150F is easy to get started with, but any new photographer will benefit from a quick understanding of the basics of how to get the best shot. Here are some top tips for first-time shooters:
Don't get bogged down in advanced camera modes. Start with the "auto" setting; it will let you take great pictures by simply pointing and shooting. Once you're comfortable, start experimenting with advanced settings like shutter speed and ISO balance.
The right composition is the essential first step to a great photo. Vary the distance between you and the subject, experiment with different angles (the rotating LCD will make that easier) and take lots of shots to see what works the best.
If you don't have a tripod, resting your camera (or at least your elbows) on a solid surface will help minimize movement and blur while you're shooting.
Get as close as possible to the subject when shooting video. This gives your viewer a real sense of being part of the action.
Make sure your camera comes with a strap that can be used to secure it to the neck or wrist. And a padded case is a must-have accessory. Ensure that the camera's lens stays smudge-and scratch-free by using a professional camera-cleaning product to keep it crystal clear.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
The Cabin In The Woods (15)
Director: Drew Goddard.
Starring: Kristen Connolly, Fran Kranz, Richard Jenkins
Running Time: 95 Minutes
Genre: Horror | Comedy
SPOILER: This has been one of the hardest films to review, not due to the scarcity of things to write about (my rather lengthy review speaks for itself on that front) but rather due to the fact that it is impossible to talk about this movie and not include spoilers. Speaking from experience I can assure you that this movie is best viewed not knowing anything about it, thus I've decided to add this warning of spoilers. The majority of the review is spoiler free, however in paragraph three I have added a warning for anybody wanting to avoid spoilers.
The'The Cabin In The Woods' is a unicorn, not in the sense that it is literally horse with a horn, (although – come to think of it...never mind) but rather in the sense that it's a truly unique experience, by very definition – something you have never seen before. Its main setting, the titular cabin, will be familiar to anybody who calls them self a fan of the 1981 Raimi classic 'The Evil Dead' and its astounding sequel. That's because the cabin, located in said woods, is the exact same cabin from the Raimi films. That's only the beginning of the similarities when comparing Drew Goddard's masterpiece of a debut with the prior horror classics. This is, for anybody who finds 'Evil Dead 3' irritating and overblown, the logical sequel to 'Evil Dead 2'. A fully immersive, deconstructionist horror film that delves down, deep deep down, into the root of horror and horror as a film genre. In this sense it's a geeks dream come true, Goddard has made it hard to remember the once meta classic 'Scream' and it's sequels. This is not just a horror comedy, this is the definitive horror comedy...and sits on my list of horror classics...right alongside Ash and his boomstick.
It's the spirit of innovation, true originality combined with genuine thrills and mature humour – this is the kind of film that doesn't tend to get a theatrical release...a film with brains...mmm brains! Really, we're lucky we even get to see it. The Cabin in the Woods was set to release almost three years ago, but due to MGM filing for bankruptcy, the film was shelved indefinitely. At times, it looked like it might never see the light of day. But here we are, opening weekend, and I'm happy to say whole-heartedly that it was utterly worth the wait.
Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin in the woods, where they get more than they bargained for. Together, they must discover the truth behind the cabin in the woods. Sounds rather simplistic doesn't it, like the title 'Friday The 13th part 23' would have been a better fit? You're wrong. *Spoiler Alert. The cabin, is just the beginning...what we have is a company that control this cabin – and presumably several thousand more – a company whose job it is to release monsters upon our unsuspecting kids in order to...well saying any more would be ruining the fun. I know this synopsis has been lackluster at best but it's for your own good. Trust me.
This being Drew Goddard's first feature film you wouldn't be criticized for expect a level of amateurish filmmaking...however to expect it here would be a mistake. Goddard is a veteran, not to the director's chair of course, but he is responsible for churning out some of the best episodes of 'Buffy', 'Lost' and 'Alias' – thanks to this, 'Cabin' is rife with shimmering dialogue, finely crafted geek humor and in jokes that will have you rolling on the floor. Its all incredibly black I must add, you'll end up laughing at some pretty gruesome things but Goddard does a staggering job at making you giggle regardless. The characters, while eventually resorting to humorous stereotypes – are actually finely crafted. Each one of them is a nice, intelligent person and it's a shame to see them finally bite the dust no matter how funny it is. It's clear to see that Whedons had a strong influence here. 'Cabin' plays like a long episode of 'Buffy' with innovation pathing the way for brilliant characterization and writing.
The pacing is top notch, at a mere 95 minutes my only gripe would be that I could have stayed in that cabin another 90 minutes and not have complained. Everybody likes to be in on an inside joke, but so many horror films have hopped onto the bandwagon of self-awareness that the joke itself may be getting tired. If anyone could reinvigorate the concept, it's Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard.
The acting is sublime with leads Connoly and Kranz proving that they are true rising stars, the stand outs, however, are veterans Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford who p[provide the most sincere laughs. In all this is a star studded phenomenon that fires on every level.If I have one gripe, and boy is it minor...some of the special effects give credence to its budget restraints. Its minor...and not really much of an issues when you compare it to how good the rest of the film looks and sounds. With gore effects that are goopy in all the right ways. The soundtrack is stellar and the sound effects rife with atmosphere...it's the cabin itself, however, that proves to be the best special effect of them all.
Verdict: 'The Cabin In The Woods' is nothing short of a masterpiece. It's just that simple. Based on sheer innovation alone this is the best experience I've had in a movie theater for the longest time. Sublime storytelling, genuine thrills and jokes that make even the most stubborn of horror fan boy squee with joy. Goddard and Whedon have made 'Evil Dead 4', not in body but in spirit. Whereas most meta horror movies fail to go far enough (Scream 4) 'Cabin' is a full deconstruction, with nods to J-Horror, 80's slashers and the horror audience as a whole. "We're not the only ones watching" . While comic and at times utterly mental, 'Cabin In The Woods' is incredibly smart, it expects its audience to understand horror tropes and plays on your expectations. By the time the final act rolls around...you'll be screaming for more killer merman. What are you doing? Why are you still reading this...go! Go buy your ticket now!!!
Story: 10
Direction: 10
Acting: 10
Presentation: 9
Overall: 10/10

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- The Annual Bikers 4 Bikers Foundation Memorial Wall Dedication at Grace Church gave bikers the opportunity to speak of loved ones they have lost and to forever remember them with bronze plaques.
For nine years, the yearly event has brought bikers together from all over the Panhandle.
"There are a lot of us that have been riding for many years and motorcyclists, all in all, are a family," Grace Church Associate Pastor Lee Banks said. "And this, more or less, just pretty much proves it in the fact that we have all different types from all different backgrounds here together today."
A wall outside the church is covered with plaques commemorating the lives of people who died while riding motorcycles, and also the lives of those were supportive of the motorcycle enthusiast lifestyle.
Bikers spoke of their fallen friends and family and went on a symbolic bike run. They then returned to the church for a cookout.
According to Banks, the event continues to gain support from the community. He said members of the foundation see it as not only a chance to remember, but also an opportunity to spread the Word of God to fellow motorcyclists.

DIY Hard Drive Dock Is a Lightweight and Speedy Docking Alternative
If you've been dissapointed with the performance of commercially available hard drive docks (and more than a few people have) this spartan DIY solution removes the bottlenecks most commercial docks are crippled by.
Marc Bevand shares a DIY solution for a situation he'd had enough of, hard drive docking stations that were unreliable and limited in transfer speed by cable limitations and crappy chip design. He designed a tiny coin sized SATA power module that runs off a 12v wall adapter and an SATA power cable. The voltage is stepped down, via his lilliputian power module to 5v. The entire build cost him $9 and was a huge step forward in removing variables from his drive docking and diagnosis procedure.

Europa [DVD]
Director : Lars von Trier
Screenplay : Lars von Trier & Niels Vørsel
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1991
Stars : Jean-Marc Barr (Leopold Kessler), Barbara Sukowa (Katharina Hartmann), Udo Kier (Lawrence Hartmann), Ernst-Hugo Järegård (Uncle Kessler), Erik Mørk (Pater), Jørgen Reenberg (Max Hartmann), Henning Jensen (Siggy), Eddie Constantine (Colonel Harris), Max von Sydow (Narrator)
There is no denying that Lars von Trier's Europa, his third feature film and the concluding entry in a loose symbolic trilogy about the end of Europe, is a visual masterpiece. Intricately designed and bold in concept, it mixes noir-ish black-and-white with jarring instances of color that look like they were shot with the old Technicolor two-strip film. The effect is slightly surreal, especially in the way there seems to be no inherent meaning to the use of color other than to draw attention to something in the frame. Even more crucial to the film's visual sense is von Trier's heavy reliance on front and rear projection to create a deeply layered image that subtly and not so subtly emphasizes the distinctions between foreground and background. Sometimes we're not even aware that the foreground characters were shot independently of the background and then optically married in postproduction, but at other times von Trier uses the technologies (which are virtually as old as the cinema itself) to manipulate the environment, suddenly replacing a realistic background with something distorted or exaggerated.
For all its technical and aesthetic brilliance, though, Europa remains a rather cold and distant film, one that is easy to appreciate but difficult to love. The gliding camera movements and bravura mise-en-scene certainly flood your retinas and entice your senses, but the images are remote, never making the leap from head to heart. Perhaps it is because von Trier spent so much time working out the complex technical issues that he neglected to invest much into the film's emotional underpinnings, or perhaps it is because the film is in various ways meant to be read as a metaphor, which each character and location playing a symbolic role related to postwar Europe. Or perhaps it is essentially the nature of the material, with its mixture of noir despair and Kafkaesque absurdity, that constantly keeps you at arm's length.
Europa opens with a sequence in which the legendary Max von Sydow literally hypnotizes us into the world of the film, which takes place in Germany in 1945, a few months after the end of World War II. Aside from the presence of hypnosis, the link between Europa and von Trier's previous "Europe trilogy" films, The Element of Crime (1984) and Epidemic (1989), is the basic story, which involves a naïve idealist entering a hostile foreign land and finding some form of failure (von Trier's compulsive animosity toward idealists has only grown throughout his career). In this case, the character is Leopold Kessler (Jean-Marc Barr), a young American who comes to Germany (which his father fled some time before the war) to take a job as a sleeping-car conductor on the recently revived Zentropa Railway. The job has been procured for him by his Uncle Kessler (Ernst-Hugo Järegård), a gruff and ugly man who is constantly berating Leopold and reminding him of his various duties.
The story begins to develop the broad parameters of an espionage thriller when Leopold meets Katharina (Barbara Sukowa), the seductive daughter of Zentropa's owner, Max Hartmann (Jørgen Reenberg). Leopold is drawn into the Hartmann family, which also includes Katharina's troubled brother Lawrence (Udo Kier), where he finds conflict and turmoil that in various ways represents the travails of postwar Germany. Max was a Nazi sympathizer who allowed his railroad to be used to transport Jews to the concentration camps, while Katharina may or may not be involved with Werewolves, a pro-Nazi terrorist organization dedicated to sabotage as a means of disrupting the Allied occupation. And constantly circling around the margins is the impenetrably calm Colonel Harris (Eddie Constantine), an American officer who allows Max to escape punishment for his war crimes because his railroad is needed to reestablish stability in the country. (One could easily imagine Europa, played straight, as a wartime Hitchcock thriller, especially when the Bernard Herrmann-esque score is pounding on the soundtrack.)
While the plot elements of Europa, however intricately interwoven, don't last long in the mind, the visuals have a powerful resilience--dreamlike images of a child assassin shooting down a recently installed mayor, dozens of women dragging a locomotive out of a holding warehouse, blood spreading through a sink full of water from a man's cut wrists, and a lengthy, agonizing sequence of drowning that replicates as closely as I can imagine possible what the awful experience must be like. Working with three cinematographers--Henning Bendtsen (a 40-year veteran of the Danish film industry who shot two of Carl Theodor Dreyer's last films), Edward Klosinski (a favorite of Krzysztof Kieslowski), and Jean-Paul Meuriss (a relative newcomer who would go on to work with Luc Besson)--von Trier has crafted a visually striking film that is somehow both extremely realistic (much of it was shot at various locations in Poland, including an incredibly bombed-out cathedral) and completely detached. The tone of the film is dark and somber, but with a sense of growing absurdity that reaches its fever pitch when Leopold is running frantically about the train trying to install a time-bomb while a pair of pedantic examiners attempt to test his knowledge of sleeping-coach protocol.
In this regard, Europa is nothing if not intensely unique, even as it reassembles bits and pieces from recognizable films and genres using well-worn techniques and technologies. So much of it is so familiar, but from a distorted perspective, as if looking at a well-known painting through a prism; everything is simultaneously new and old. Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller would essentially take this visual approach to its zenith using CGI in their graphic novel adaptation Sin City (2005), but von Trier should be justly appreciated for his vision so many years earlier. In interviews, von Trier has claimed that he was trying to make a "commercial" film, but what he really made was something truly visionary--messy and in some ways incomprehensible, but visionary nonetheless.

For their new high-definition transfer of Europa, Criterion went back to the source and scanned the original negative, which is particularly important given that virtually every shot in the film is an optical and is thus at best a copy of a copy. This results in the film having a slightly soft appearance, although it is sharp enough to make out plenty of detail in the often astounding visuals. The black-and-white image has good contrast and a nice range of grayscale, while the moments of color are appropriately desaturated and slightly unnatural. The MTI Digital Restoration System has cleaned up the image nicely, with only a few signs of dirt or other artifacts. The stereo soundtrack, transferred at 24-bit from the 35mm LT/RT optical track and digitally restored, sounds quite good, especially in the musical score and the hypnotic sound of the train moving. | |
Many of the supplements on Criterion's two-disc edition of Europa have been ported over from the Region 2 DVD released by Electric Parc in 2005. Chief among these is a screen-specific audio commentary by director Lars von Trier and producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen (it is in Danish with English subtitles). In addition to the commentary, the first disc contains an original theatrical trailer and "The Making of Europa," a 40-minute documentary produced in 1991 about the film's production. Despite the rather shoddy video quality (which is true of virtually all the supplements), the doc presents a fascinating journey from the elaborate process of storyboarding to the various stages of production, including behind-the-scenes footage on location and on the set and several interviews with von Trier. The second disc opens with "Triers Element," another 1991 documentary about the film's production, although this one dedicates significantly more time to an interview with von Trier, and it also includes footage from the production of Dimension, a film von Trier started shooting in 1991 and plans to work on for three decades. "Anecdotes From Europa, a 20-minute documentary from 2005, is exactly what it sounds like: amusing anecdotes about the film's production told by film historian Peter Schepelern, actor Jean-Marc Barr, producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen, assistant director Tómas Gislason, co-writer Niels Vørsel, and prop master Peter Grant (the best involve Jensen illegally bringing guns into Poland for the shoot and bribing notoriously difficult actor Ernst-Hugo Järegård with Cuban cigars). Also from 2005 are a series of video interviews with cinematographer Henning Bendtsen, composer Joachim Holbek, costume designer Manon Rasmussen, film-school teacher Mogens Rukov, editor Tómas Gislason, producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen, art director Peter Grant, actor Michael Simpson, production manager Per Arman, and actor Ole Ernst. There is also another 43-minute interview with von Trier recorded in 2005 in which he speaks extensively about the "Europa Trilogy." Lastly, there is a 10-minute featurette titled "Europa: The Faecal Location," which features raw footage shot at the location where the crew stayed in Poland that was, shall we say, somewhat subpar (let's just say there a lot of attention paid to the toilets, which don't work as they should). |

I've been a bit enamored with Kickstarter lately; while I had heard of it quite a while ago but only recently have I started perusing some of the campaigns that the site has hosted. There are many worthy projects; I've posted on a couple of the accessory-themed ones I've invested in: AirBudz, the passive sound enabling earbuds (still not yet fully funded), and Foco, an iPad sound-enhancing device that reached their funding goal and is currently in production.
Kickstarter isn't just for hardware; I'd like to share yet another worthy project with you courtesy of SuperPunch: Lilly Looking Through. Lilly Looking Through is a game in development for every OS: Mac, Windows, and Linux. The game's beautiful illustration and animation initially caught my eye; I love animation and the game has a classical Disney-esque feel. The heroine Lilly must be guided through a series of puzzles and challenges "…as she seeks to rewrite the past, change the present, and unlock the ultimate mystery. "
I spent a short while playing the free demo version and was immediately hooked. The musical score adds to the ambiance of the game, and the demo is very polished for a teaser. The mechanics of the game are similar to another favorite indie puzzle title, Machinarium. You guide Lilly and interact with the environment with your mouse (or trackpad); solving puzzles in order to progress further into the game. On the game's initial screen you have to overcome obstacles in Lilly's path both through direct interaction and by having her perform specific tasks. If you are having a hard time figuring out how to solve a puzzle or progress to the next task just click the help icon for a visual clue.
Games of this sort don't fit neatly into any one category. It's part strategy, part casual game, and a ton of indie charm. The Kickstarter donation levels start at very low contribution levels (just $10 will get you a digital download of the game, two high resolution desktop wallpapers, and regular updates on the status of the project should it be fully funded).
I think the reason I've become so enamored with projects like Lilly Looks Through is that Kickstarter has become such a great tool to bring innovation and creativity to life. Not that long ago projects such as this one would need to seek funding from family (if possible) or a loan (often difficult to obtain). Not only does your investment help someone bring their dream to market, it can net you a great deal on a unique product or service. Check out the embedded video and try the free Mac, Windows, or Linux demo; if you enjoyed it as much as I have please donate to their campaign.

Lincoln Water System Operations staff work round the clock to ensure proper water treatment. From a secure facility, operators use several sources of data to determine the best treatment strategy. Each day, at least once per shift, operators perform laboratory tests to ensure that water treatment standards and practices are being performed correctly and consistently.
All operators must be certified by the State of Nebraska and hold a Water Operators Certificate. They must also attend continuing education classes to maintain their certification. All findings and actions taken by the operators are documented to comply with State and Federal laws.
The Lincoln Water System Quality Laboratory staff tests the drinking water for a variety of tests daily to assure the quality of the drinking water. Samples are collected daily from the untreated water supply coming into the treatment facility, the finished treated water supply leaving the facility and at various locations within the treatment facility for quality assurance analysis. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-art equipment for an analysis of a variety of inorganic (i.e. iron, manganese), organic (i.e. herbicides and pesticides) and microbiological analytes (i.e. total coliform, e-coli).
Laboratory Specialists also collect samples daily from various locations within the distribution system with the ability and necessary instrumentation to analyze many analytes on-site. Water samples that need to be analyzed in the laboratory are transported in coolers to insure sample integrity. State and Federal regulations require compliance monitoring in addition to the quality assurance described above. Compliance samples are collected by laboratory staff and sent to EPA approved laboratories for analysis.
Each Laboratory Specialist is a Nebraska certified operator in addition to a having a two or four year degree in natural sciences.
There are many facets to running a water treatment facility. This is the job of the Maintenance Mechanics/Electricians at Lincoln Water System. As technology advances, this is becoming an increasingly complicated job. The hundreds of valves, motors, pumps, and remote monitoring devices are the responsibility of employees. When a vital piece of equipment fails, the maintenance mechanics/electricians are called on to repair/replace this equipment all hours of the day or night.

I should receive my shipment of bulk ephedra herb tomorrow, which I'm planning on brewing into a tea to try as an ECA stack.
Thing is, I've never done this before and thought for sure someone on here has tried to get the E this way.
Any pointers on how much of the herb I should brew to get the typical stack ratios? I understand that it isn't standardized for any amount, potentcy, etc. Just looking for a starting point and don't want to waste a lot of it trying to get the measurements right for the effect.

How much a day should i feed? THE BIG THING.............HOW DO I MAKE IT SO I DONT SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON IT. also i got more then one dog and as of now im spending $100 on dog food a month. Please help................. |

I have an arthritic 9½ yr old GSD and a lunatic 20 mth old Border Collie, both are fed on a variety of different raw meats... raw minced tripe, raw minced chicken, raw minced lamb, raw minced beef and all those mixed together with raw tripe.... ie tripe/chicken etc. Sometimes they get offal but they aren't too keen on it. Added to that they get raw shredded carrot, mushed/blended carrot, shredded cabbage, shredded greens, shredded broccoli, shredded spinach, sliced celery, sliced apple and I can quite happily say no squits, not even squishy poos in the last 12 months! Both dogs have stools twice a day and are what I would call 'perfect' and so easy to pick up with poo bag. The chicken I get finely minced [it includes chicken bones too] so it contains enough calcium for their diet.... and best of all on this RAW/BARF neither suffers from wind. One thing I can't get the dogs to eat though is raw chicken, wings, legs carcasses etc. Dogs are unable to break down the cellulose walls of carrots, so although mine get shredded carrot it's mainly to bulk up the food as the GSD is on a diet, so to get the benefit of carrot, I blend some too. Carrots do tend to come out as they go in. My GSD will thieve whole carrots from the veg rack so at least crunching on a carrot helps towards keeping her teeth clean. I can't advise you how much to feed, as I mentioned before my GSD is on a diet. Both dogs have fantastic coats, bright eyes and are healthy. There's a couple of groups on Facebook that are very informative. https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/328121590553154/ and https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/261761471359/ |

Now here is the thing im a city guy and i dont know meat people in the city what type of places should i look for? Also is there any pre made stuff that i can just order? |
by GK1 on 04 July 2012 - 03:49 |
Getting your head around the GSD diet and raw feeding program can be quite a challenge with the amount of information, educated and less educated perspectives out there. Getting the dog off processed bagged food and on to home cooking or raw is sound judgement. I would assume many owners were like me during the transition and experimented with various recipes to figure out what works with the dog and budget. Get your hands dirty so to speak and continue to fire away with your questions. |
by Nans gsd on 04 July 2012 - 16:58 |
The best pre-made raw I have found is The Honest Kitchen Preference (you ad your own meat) includes fruits/vegi's. I also have used pre-made K9 Kravings, Bravo, Natural Instinct (includes Flax though in Natural Instinct); I have tried about all the pre-made diets on the market. I also use chicken/beef/pork/turkey/Offal, ground organ meats, chicken feet, raw eggs, yogart, cottage cheese, any and all fruits and vegi's raw and cooked; rabbit/duck/ I haven't tried Ostrich; goat meat also OK, any of your game meats, elk, deer, venison, antelope, your local hunters can supply you possibly; but most of my meats come from the grocery stores, ethnic markets, mex & asian; fish I do not feed raw but slight poach it and feed that way but I know people use fish raw, the list could go on and on. Variety is the key to feeding raw, plenty of reading available for you and I would probably start with 2% of your dogs body weight in pounds of meat. So 2% of 85 pound dog would be approximately 1 and 3/4 pounds of meat per day; I recommend you split that up into 2 meals to start unless your dog(s) are used to once per day. I have always thought 2 times per day feeding is better, but maybe not. Certainly is more trouble. Now this 2% of your dogs body weight is an average, if you want your dog to gain weight feed more, loose weight, feed less. Best of luck Nan Less active dogs or older dogs you could probably use l l/2% of their body weights; or even 1%. BOL Nan |

You want to feed 2-3% of his body weight or what you want his optimal weight to be. TOTW is made by Diamond and constantly has recalls, not a good food as one would think. If you feed kibble try Orijen maybe or some other people may have other brand ideas. If your dog is underweight google satin balls to put some weight on him but personally I prefer a smaller sports dog. Faster and more athletic, I'd work on building muscle not weight. |

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- this service issues new rules for agents and -- hopes of stopping another prostitution scandal in our right.
-- murdering former assistant secretary the department of homeland security and Susan -- rich Fox News contributor join us this evening.
All right -- And thank you for being with us this evening both -- and Susan now let me ask you -- -- starting with.
Homeland Security.
A secretary Janet -- pilots out -- says that according terror investigation.
This is an isolated incident and within 24 -- three find out Secret Service is investigating a prostitution scandal in south San Salvador in a club an Al Salvador.
Do you think this problem is that dentists -- -- Secret Service agents.
Who go to other countries and maybe have some free time.
I'm not sure I'd say it's epidemic here we -- you've got a culture of folks sure we have very high stress jobs law enforcement they're entitled to blow off steam but I do you think that -- The secretary and her team -- right to have a zero tolerance policy on things overseas.
When they're protecting the president or some other dignitary.
That you know we can't have people overseas and -- where their risk of being bribed or -- the president or high ranking officials.
But again I I do don't I wouldn't say it's an epidemic I just think there's something that.
We need to have new rules like the things they put in place probably makes sense considering the lack of -- as shown by these particular officers.
And when you say that -- Secret Service agents are -- -- blow off steam you don't you don't mean like.
In a visit prostitutes without.
Now I'm I'm at now obviously there's there's good things that have probably -- cross that line but I again I don't think we need to be totally a Big Brother here.
The officer should have known better these new rules and hopefully put some more kinds of plays to do a really kind of get the most ridiculous behavior off -- off the agenda OK but you know we we don't -- -- be an out the adults I have have writes I just think -- you know we need to have a situation these guys are.
-- us sort out the US it -- Special I would assume that the house out there are no doubt that the judge you went and it says that would Seward says that and I -- during these it would all good -- -- third title at the time when they're in a foreign country.
It applies to Secret Service agents who were in a position.
Odd to have access to the president's schedule it yet -- he is is plans when he's in a foreign country.
And reject you and I could have -- I mean appointment he beat -- out pretty nice dinner right now denies -- -- -- I wouldn't bring bunkers back yet out of my room you know would you know.
I -- This is an argument that we need more women in senior positions in the Secret Service you have a like different idea of blowing off steam.
I don't think we've got an epic and here.
But I really don't think boys will be boys when they're protecting the president when there are ambassadors to pride I think we have a right to expect.
That they behavior in the same way they would behave in Washington DC in that they.
You know can -- blowing off steam sit activities that they would be willing to tell their wives about.
Well and you know I I think -- the complicating it complicating issue here of course is that.
You know why that if you've got a guy who is you know cavorting with prostitutes -- he isn't setting himself up to be very compromised.
In terms of someone giving information back home in terms of what he was doing but.
Steward should Mark Sullivan given the fact that we now have at least two investigations going on involving.
The Secret Service should he be forced to resign.
No I think he's a good man for the job he's done a good job over there they have incredibly important duties you see that the president was just on your screen earlier this dinner in town.
And they've got.
Very tough responsibilities their budget has gone up the threats -- gone up.
And I know I've worked of these guys when I was in Capitol Hill working on issues and it's a very professional organization -- obviously been lapses and again I don't mean this suggested what happened.
Down south as -- name anyway appropriate.
But I do think we need of the -- look at the bigger picture and their track record of really providing excellent service to the president this team in the light.
And hopefully these new rules of -- got -- -- get the worst behavior out of the system.
But Stewart -- -- ask you both this question do we really need these kinds of rules saying.
You shouldn't drink alcohol to excess when you know you're in a foreign country planning for the president's visit.
I mean that kind of a band aid remedy everybody feels -- and they go home Susan.
I think it depends where do you enforce the rule for I mean obviously.
You know.
I don't know I think I've told my kids growing up I don't think in professional situations they would necessarily need to be told again.
The drinking to excess it's a bad idea no matter where you -- but I think the point about Mark Sullivan is.
He got -- judge him.
Not by so much by what happened -- -- I assume that this happened before but by what he gets about it now and I think he has moved swiftly.
Aggressively he made clear that there isn't going to be any tolerance of this by setting the rules that clearly.
You can't have somebody come back and you know they're -- you.
And say oh I'm gonna sue had been wrongly discharged.
Or I had no idea I wasn't supposed to -- work with prostitutes.
When I was protecting the president.
-- it makes sense to put the rules that and then in Fort Hood are right -- Susan Estrich and does -- murdering thanks so much for being with us this evening.
Thanks so much you're welcome and could.
