In this electronic book (e-book), "Pasta, pizza and Pinocchio," Howard Culbertson answers questions he has been asked about missionary work in Italy. Originally published in 1980 for the Nazarene Missions International reading book series, this Nazarene Publishing House publication carried ISBN number 0-8341-0612-4. Some material has been updated for this e-book edition.
This little book contains most of what you've ever wanted to know about Italy and the work of the Church of the Nazarene there. I make that bold statement because it is simply a compilation of questions (with answers) which you've asked me in deputation services while I was on a one-year home assignment or furlough as it was once called.
The questions have been arranged and grouped by subject matter. These questions have all been asked of me. Every one of them. And I've answered them in churches from Nashville to Fresno and from San Antonio to Yellowknife.
Probably I should have kept track of where and by whom each question was asked. But I didn't. So here's a blanket thanks to all of you who contributed to this book (even if at the time you didn't realize you were contributing). My thanks as well to pastors' wives all across America who've loaned me their kitchen tables for a morning's writing stint!
One little note about the title: You won't find Pinocchio among any of the questions or answers. Pinocchio is, of course, very much Italian. The story of this puppet who comes to life was written in a villa tucked away in the mountains between Florence and Pisa.
One question I have been asked occasionally during this year of travel is: "Don't you ever get tired of answering the same questions day after day?" Not yet, I haven't. But if I ever do, here's the book I'll probably hand to you. . . . [ continue reading ]

Ben Stiller Movies
As the son of comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara Ben Stiller's decision to establish himself as a comic writer and actor surprised almost no one.
Born in New York City on November 30, 1965, Stiller began to shoot his own comic films from the age of ten. After high-school graduation, Stiller attended UCLA and landed bit parts in several features, notably the Steven Spielberg-directed, Tom Stoppard and Menno Meyjes-scripted, late 1987 opus Empire of the Sun.
Meanwhile, Stiller continued to turn out comedy shorts, including the 30-minute Elvis Stories (1989), a spoof of obsessive Elvis fans featuring an already-established John Cusack. One of Stiller's shorts, a Tom Cruise parody called The Hustler of Money, won him a spot as a writer and player on Saturday Night Live in 1989. His stint on the show was short-lived, but led to his own eponymous series, The Ben Stiller Show, first on MTV (1990) and later on Fox (1992-1993). The program failed to draw a substantial audience, and folded within a couple of months on each network, but Stiller netted an Emmy for comedy writing in 1993.
The following year, Stiller debuted as a feature film director with the twentysomething angst romcom Reality Bites (1994), in which he also starred alongside Winona Ryder and a memorably grungy Ethan Hawke. The film was a relative critical and commercial success and scored with Gen-Xers; unfortunately, Stiller's next directorial effort, 1996's The Cable Guy failed to register with critics and audiences. After a small part as nursing-home orderly Hal in the Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore (1996), Stiller rebounded with a starring role in David O. Russell's Flirting With Disaster (1996). The relatively positive reception afforded to that comedy helped to balance out the relative failure of Stiller's other film that year, If Lucy Fell. It was not until two years later, however, that Stiller truly stepped into the limelight. Thanks to starring roles in three wildly, wickedly different films, he emerged as an actor of versatility, equally adept at playing sensitive nice guys and malevolent hellraisers. In the smash gross-out comedy There's Something About Mary (1998), Stiller appeared as the former type, making comic history for outrageous sight gags that involved misplaced bodily fluids and mangled genitalia. That same summer, Stiller did time as a gleefully adulterous theatrical instructor in Neil LaBute's jet-black evisceration of contemporary sexual mores, Your Friends and Neighbors. Finally, Stiller starred in the intensely graphic and disturbing addiction drama Permanent Midnight, earning critical acclaim for his portrayal of writer-cum-heroin addict Jerry Stahl -- a personal friend of the Stiller family from Stahl's days scripting the TV series ALF.
Now fully capable of holding his own in Hollywood, with the license to prove it, Stiller starred alongside William H. Macy, Paul Reubens, Hank Azaria, and pal Janeane Garofalo in the fantasy comedy Mystery Men (1999) as the leader of a group of unconventional superheroes. Stiller also landed a supporting role in The Suburbans, a comedy about the former members of a defunct new wave band. The following year, Stiller starred as a rabbi smitten with the same woman as his best friend, a Catholic priest (Edward Norton), in the well-received romantic comedy Keeping the Faith (2000), which Norton also co-produced and directed. Stiller found his widest audience up to that point, however, with the Jay Roach-directed madcap comedy Meet the Parents. As the tale of a nutty father-in-law to be (Robert De Niro) who wreaks unchecked havoc on his daughter's intended (Stiller) via covert CIA operations and incessant interrogation, this disastrously humorous tale of electrical interference gone wild scored with ticket-buyers and qualified as the top box-office draw during the holiday season of 2000.
In the autumn of 2001, Stiller brought one of his most popular MTV Video Music Awards incarnations to the big screen in the outrageously silly male-model comedy Zoolander, in which he successfully teamed with (real-life friend) Owen Wilson to carry stupidity to new heights.
In 2001 Stiller once again teamed with Wes Anderson collaborator Wilson for the widely praised comedy drama The Royal Tenenbaums. Cast as the estranged son of eccentric parents who returns home, Stiller infused his unmistakable comic touch with an affecting sense of drama that found him holding his ground opposite such dramatic heavies as Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston. Though his work in 2002 offered little more than a few cameo performances and some vocal contributions to various animated children's shows, the busy comedic actor returned to the big screen for the 2003 comedy Duplex, directed by Danny DeVito. Though the film pairs Stiller and Hollywood bombshell Drew Barrymore as a couple willing to go to horrific extremes to land the much-desired eponymous living space, reviews were unkind and the comedy died a quick death at the box office. Stiller's next film -- the romantic comedy Along Came Polly -- fared considerably better on a fiscal level, but suffered from an implausible premise.
Spring 2004 promised a rebound when the electrifying duo of Stiller and Owen Wilson returned to the big screen with director Todd Phillips' celluloid recycling job Starsky & Hutch. Though Stiller and Wilson seemed the ideal pair for such a conceptually rich re-imagining of 1970s television, and the film boasted wonderful villainous turns by rapper Snoop Dogg and Vince Vaughn, reviews were once again lackluster and the film struggled to find an audience. Yet Starsky & Hutch did actually reap a profit, which (in a business sense) placed it miles ahead of Stiller's next film. Released a mere two months after Starsky & Hutch, the Barry Levinson comedy Envy sports a wacky premise; it explores the comic rivalry that erupts between two longtime friends and neighbors when one invents a product that makes dog excrement disappear. It also boasts a marvelous cast, replete with Stiller, the maniacal Jack Black, and the brilliant Christopher Walken. But for whatever reason (speculated by some as the film's inability to exploit the invention at the story's center) the film's sense of humor failed to catch fire and Envy died a quick box-office death. Stiller fared better with the ribald, anarchic summer 2004 comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, starring himself, Vince Vaughn, and Rip Torn.
For the following two years, Stiller once again contented himself largely with bit parts (2004's Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgundy, 2006's Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny) until the Christmas 2006 release A Night at the Museum. In this effects-heavy fantasy, adapted from the popular children's book by Milan Trenc, Stiller plays Larry Daley, the new night watchman at New York City's Museum of Natural History, who discovers that the exhibits all spring to life after hours, from a giant skeletal Tyrannosaurus Rex to a waxen Teddy Roosevelt -- and seem content to hold Larry hostage. The effort split critical opinion, but shot up to become one of the top three box-office draws during the holiday season of 2006.
Meanwhile, Stiller signed on to team with the Farrelly brothers for The Heartbreak Kid (2007), a remake of the 1972 Elaine May comedy of the same title; he also produced Blades of Glory, a comedy with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as rival figure-skating champions vying with one another for Olympic gold. He wrote, directed and starred in the hit comedy Tropic Thunder (2008) as a moronic Hollywood actor toplining a war film, voiced Alex in the same year's animated picture Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and in 2009, reprised his Larry Daley role for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Stiller's emphasis on sequels then continued with 2010's Little Fockers and 2012's Madagascar 3. Also in 2012, Stiller picked up the role originally made famous by Danny Kaye, as the lead in the remake The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

The workers at a posh Central Park condominium plot to steal back their pensions from the thieving Wall Street billionaire who's about to get away with the ultimate white-collar crime in this heist comedy starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. Financial giant Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) has just been placed under house arrest in his luxury New York City penthouse for cleaning out his investors to the tune of two billion dollars. Meanwhile, on the complete opposite end of the financial spectrum, Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) earns a modest living as the manager of The Tower -- the luxurious building where Shaw resides. Upon learning that the building staffers who entrusted Shaw with their retirement funds are about to lose their life savings, and that the thief will likely get off scot-free, Josh convinces a small group of Tower employees and a downtrodden former resident that Shaw has stashed a million-dollar safety net somewhere in his opulent penthouse, and that it's theirs for the taking if they can just slip past security. With dim-witted concierge Charlie (Casey Affleck), under-educated electrical engineer Enrique (Michael Peña), safecracking maid Odessa (Gabourey Sidibe) and downtrodden former resident Mr. Fitzhugh (Matthew Broderick) to back him, Josh recruits crafty swindler Slide (Eddie Murphy) to help get their money back. Although the security in Arthur's condo is unusually tight, between Josh's knowledge of the building and Slide's sleight of hand, this ragtag gang of thieves just might have what it takes to get the job done. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Notorious Metro City villian Megamind (voice of Will Ferrell) becomes an unlikely savior to the troubled metropolis after defeating beloved do-gooder Metro Man (voice of Brad Pitt) and creating a new opponent who refuses to play by the rules. Megamind was only an infant when his parents loaded him into an emergency escape pod and jettisoned him into space just as their planet was being sucked into a black hole. His destination: planet Earth. Meanwhile, another slightly more wholesome baby sets out on the same trajectory. But while the latter will ultimately land in the home of a wealthy couple and grow up to become Metro Man, hero of Metro City, poor Megamind finds his fate taking the opposite course when his pod crashes in a prison yard, leaving him to be raised by convicts. Later, in grade school, the kids all flock to Metro Man, leaving a frustrated Megamind to embrace a life of diabolical misdeeds. As the years go by, Metro Man and Megamind develop an intense adversarial relationship that pits them in battle over Metro City time and again. Undeterred by his unbroken losing streak, Megamind hatches an ingenious scheme to finally destroy Metro Man by kidnapping pretty reporter Roxanne Ritchi (voice of Tina Fey), and luring the predictable hero into a deadly trap. Then something unexpected happens -- Megamind's plan actually works. Now, with Metro Man out of the picture, Megamind and his Minion (voice of David Cross) stake their claim on Metro City. But what good is ultimate power when you don't even have to fight for it? Realizing that life is simply out of balance without Metro Man to be the hero, Megamind creates a new foe who will be just as righteous and powerful as his fallen adversary. Unfortunately, Megamind's schemes usually have a way of backfiring, and when Metro City's newest savior proves even more evil than Megamind, the blue-hued antihero prepares to fight back with everything he's got. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hopelessly stranded on the remote shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers hatch a plan to get back to Central Park that instead finds them soaking up sun in the picturesque plains of Africa. Madagascar may be a nice place to visit, but for the gang of animals who spent most of their lives in New York, there is truly no place like home. After discovering the remnants of a crashed airplane, the penguins quickly set about making the repairs needed to get the craft airborne again. When the plane finally takes to the sky, it begins to look like it's only a matter of time before Alex the Lion (voice of Ben Stiller) and friends are soaring over New York Harbor. Unfortunately the penguins weren't the aviation experts they claimed to be, and before long the crew is coming in for a crash-landing in the untamed plains of Africa. Now, as the animals reared in the safety of the zoo come into contact with their decidedly wild counterparts for the very first time, they get a better feel for their roots while marveling over the differences between life in the concrete jungle and life on the world's second largest continent. Of course, while there's plenty to love about wandering the open plains, romantic rivalries and the risk of running into dangerous poachers soon begin to outweigh the joys of some long-overdue family reunions. With some particularly heavy cases of homesickness causing hearts to weigh heavy, the group gradually starts to wonder whether they'll ever find their way back home. Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer, and Andy Richter lend their voices to this animated sequel that re-teams original Madagascar co-directors Eric Darnell and Tom McGrath. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Ben Stiller's satirical look at Hollywood, Tropic Thunder concerns the production of an epic Vietnam War film that quickly derails thanks to the giant egos of everyone involved in the production. Stiller stars as Tugg Speedman, an action hero trying to segue out of that genre. Jack Black plays Jeff Portnoy, a drug-addicted fat comic also attempting to change his image by taking on such a serious film. They star alongside Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), one of the world's most awarded actors, and a man who insists on immersing himself totally in a role. In this case, that means Lazarus has had his skin dyed in order to portray an African-American soldier. After their outrageous behavior lands the film's director, Damien Cockburn (Steve Coogan), in very hot water with producer Les Grossman (Tom Cruise), Cockburn takes the advice of grizzled Vietnam vet Four Leaf Tayback (Nick Nolte); in order to gain control of his performers, Cockburn drops the actors off in the jungle, planning to film the movie guerrilla-style with hidden cameras. When the group stumbles upon a heroin production camp, the actors are unaware that they are in very real danger. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

When 40-year-old San Francisco bachelor Eddie Cantrow (Ben Stiller) attends the wedding of his ex-fiancée -- and is seated at a "singles table" full of children -- he realizes maybe he's been too picky in his love life, and it's time to settle down. Fortunately, he doesn't have to compromise his standards when he meets Lila (Malin Akerman), a funny, attractive blond who does environmental research for a living. Lila's company wants to relocate her to Europe, but only because she's single -- they don't force married couples to uproot themselves. So Eddie hastily proposes to her, even though they've only been dating for six weeks. But the moment they exchange vows, Eddie starts to notice Lila's rough edges and annoying habits, which had remained hidden underneath her perfect exterior. Their Cabo San Lucas honeymoon gets off to a rough start full of tuneless pop singalongs and surprising revelations about Lila's job and her past. Things only get worse for a confused Eddie when he meets Miranda (Michelle Monaghan), a Midwesterner in Cabo for a family reunion -- and starts to wish he'd held out just a little bit longer. The Heartbreak Kid is Peter and Bobby Farrelly's remake of the 1972 Elaine May comedy of the same name, starring Charles Grodin. ~ Derek Armstrong, Rovi

02 December 2013
Back in August I got an email from Kinfolk magazine. When I first saw the sender I just thought it was one of their mass emails about a new magazine or article or something. But it wasn't. It was the art director asking me if I would like to shoot a photo for their winter issue. I was in a utter state of shock. Kinfolk is that kind of magazine that I would dream to shoot in, but never though my photos would get in. I like the photos I take, but Kinfolk has just such a certain kind of beauty in it's photos, that I didn't think mine would be up to par. But they wanted me. AMAZING. I immediately replied back of course! So I shot two photos for the issue, gingersnap cookies all packaged up for giving and a hot toddy drink. Nerves took over the day of the shoot but I somehow managed through, with the help of my mom coming up, with my little cousin, to help out.
They sent me the new issue last week and to see my photos in print was such a dream. To have photos with the likes of Alice Gao and Nikole Herriott made me feel like I was finally doing something right. Here are the photos and a few of the outtakes as well, my favorite being the one of my mom holding little Alana.
The Outtakes:
Gingersnap Cookies
1 stick (114g)
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
1/4 cup (85g) molasses
1 egg
2 cups (250g) AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
white sugar for rolling
Oven 350.
Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and molasses. Sift in flour, soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix until combine. Chill in fridge for 1 hour.
Scoop out into 1 tbsp balls and roll in white sugar. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly on sheet then let finish cooling on rack.
On a sadder note, my beloved little cat, Cosmic has past away. She has been my cat for more than half my life and was my love. I begged my parents for years and years to get a pet when I was little, every birthday and christmas it was the only thing I wanted. It was always 'No, our condo is too small" etc etc. Then one day my Aunt called us up and her neighbor's cat had kitten, seeing if we wanted one. Somehow the answer became yes from my parents and we drove over their to pick out one. This little grey kitten with a white milk mustache became ours. I loved her from the moment we saw her. She was not the normal type of cat that most people fall in love with. She was really tough, acted like she didn't need anyone and was so fiesty she would even sometimes nip at my ankles walking by. But if I was really still, just laying on the couch watching tv, she would sneak up and crawl onto my stomach and purr while I pet her. It made those little moments more special. We were just alike. Tough and aloof on the outside but really just a little softy at heart. I will miss her more than anything. She has been slowing fading away this past month. When my parent's came back from a trip, she had lost so much weight and just slept on a chair all day long, barely eating or drinking. Luckily my dad is home from work recovering from a surgery, so he was their with her all day long until the end. She will be greatly missed.

aubergine & ricotta tart.
The time has changed. Now it is pitch black by 6 o'clock. It's moderately depressing.
I went back home today to have my dad help me set up a retirement account, by tickets to go see A Christmas Carol and deposit my paycheck. A massive load of laundry was done in the meantime and running a few errands with my mom when she got home from work. A typical day off for me. A guess not really keeping in contact with anyone from high school, going to 3 different colleges and moving often has led my days off to be for errands instead of hanging out with people. Even though I have lived in St Helena for over a year now, I still feel like I don't know anyone here. Besides the people at work.
I've always been a bit of a lone wolf.
Work for me.
After I spent one day photographing my new baby cousin Kai, we ended the photoshoot in the garden of my Aunt and Uncle's house. The have a massive amount of things growing. I came away with a few tomatoes, some type of squash and a few little aubergines. The tomatoes were to go into a salad, the squash could be cut up and roasted, but I didn't know what to do with the aubergines. Besides a ratatouille, have I ever done anything with them? Probably and I'm just not remembering. But those suckers sat in my fridge until I knew I had to use them or toss em.
So after seeing what else was in my always empty fridge, I there was butter and ricotta. A tart it all became.
With many photos....
Aubergine and Ricotta Tart
1 9inch tart
For the dough I used a classic Pate Brisee dough
1 1/4 cup (156g) AP flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 stick (114g) butter, cold and cubed
a few tablespoons of ice water
Mix the dry ingredients together, then cut in the butter until you have small pea sized chunks. Then I add water by the tablespoon, mixing it, just until it holds together. Then wrap in plastic and chill for 1 hour.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface, to just bigger than your pan. Fit into your pan and cut off any excess.
For the filling I just did about a cup of ricotta mixed with salt and pepper and herbs de provence. Then spread over the crust. Next time I would beat an egg into it. It baked off into a bit of a solid layer for me, so I think the egg would make it stay lighter.
Then I just sliced two small aubergines (eggplants) and fanned then on top of the ricotta. Drizzled it with a bit of olive oil and sprinkled with salt an pepper.
Baked in a 375 degree oven for about 1 - 1 1/2 hour. Ate once cooled.
Not the best thing I have ever made, but good enough to suffice for a meal.

Good point. Nothing is ever enough for most people. As things stand, I don't think I'll buy it at launch.
Yeah lol, but even then it's just usually on Versus. :| Baffles me how the NBA is more popular than the NHL though. Plus, NHL 11 helps. :P
Lol, that's what sucks about hockey's un-popularity (compared to football, etc) -- the only team I can really follow is the Bruins, so most teams and players IDK much about, since I don't get Versus/NHL Network in my room. Contract is up next year and supposedly there is a 99% chance of an NBA lockout next season, so hopefully ESPN grabs those hockey rights.
Well w/o a set date IDK if I can do it for sure... but I'd be willing to try, but I don't wanna sign up if I can't play.

MARQUETTE (AP) -- An Upper Peninsula man convicted of illegally transporting and storing explosive materials is returning to court for his sentence.
John Lechner, a farmer and builder from Sault Ste. Marie, was convicted in June. He wasn't charged with plotting to blow up the mixture. But in a recorded conversation, he told an informant that he'd become a mercenary "when the people decide to take the government back."
Lechner will learn his punishment Thursday in Marquette federal court. His co-defendant, Ken Kassab of Brimley, was acquitted of illegally transporting fuel oil and ammonium nitrate and another charge. He had struck a plea deal with the government but changed his mind and decided to go to trial.

New music
Black Devil Disco Club
In Dub (Lo Recordings)
In 2004, a few long-forgotten electronic disco tracks popped up on 12-inch records on Aphex Twin's label, and a massive buzz about a shadowy ahead-of-its-time Italo group from the late '70s called Black Devil ensued. It turned out that the genius music was the work of French producer Bernard Fevre working under various pseudonyms. But things got weird again with 2006's 28 After, an album of acid-tinged boogie that Fevre either pulled from the vault—or just made to sound that way. He wouldn't say which. While you're sorting that out, consider the new dub version of 28, aptly titled In Dub: It's got six reworkings by the Devil himself (Fevre?) plus six by übercool remixers Elitetechnique, In Flagranti and Quiet Village.—John Dugan
Boom Bip
Sacchrilege EP (Lex)
In 1993, jazz and funk sample-freak Bryan Hollon, a.k.a. Boom Bip, began showcasing instrumental hip-hop and jazz-influenced beats on his Cincinnati radio show Madstract. It led to a 1996 debut EP Low End Sequence, and a collaboration with rapper Dose One, of Subtle fame, in 1998. The following years saw a string of LPs and remix albums featuring notables such as Amon Tobin, Super Furry Animals, Roger Waters and Boards of Canada. His newest offering is full of the manic, kinetic, hyper-urban, dirty electro space-grit that surfaced during this time. Sacchrilege grabs you with the first few seconds of the opening track, "Snook Adis," which could be the theme music for a Rocky fight set in 2513. "Coogi Sweater" is the standout—a deliciously satiric ode to modern materialism gliding atop fractured basslines and the saucy vocals of Ali Lee.—Clara Rose Thornton
bUMPS (Stones Throw)
Drummers from the seminal post-rock rhythm machine Tortoise (John McEntire, John Herndon and Dan Bitney) team up for a little experimental drum-breaks project that probably won't remain little for long. bUMPS is a 23-track, purely instrumental, purely live (no turntables or sequencers), DJ-oriented collection of raw, passionate, crazed drumbeats. It seems natural that it ends up on Stones Throw, home of the popular Super Duck Breaks record. bUMPS' beats epitomize a new take on organic electronica, only they fly even farther by spanning avant-garde jazz, Brazilian/Latin inflections, old-school British house, dub and ambient-minimalism. A medley of mood swings that fuse beautifully, the tracks could work on Manchester dance floors, at an after-party at an Argentine lounge, looped behind next week's raps or as abstract works on their own.—CRT
DJ Kentaro
Enter (Ninja Tune)
With 2005's mix CD The Wheels of Solid Steel, Kentaro introduced himself as a turntablist with a comically spacier, more party-startin' trip-hop vibe than original Japanese trip-hop master DJ Krush. Japanese turntable phenomenon Kentaro's debut, full-production LP features guest-flows from Spank Rock, The Pharcyde, New Flesh, Hifana, Little Tempo and Fat Jon. On Enter, early-'90s cerebralism meets current club-rap beats. The tightly constructed soundscapes have the feel of a live performance on Mars by Leaders of the New School—if they'd been spliced with booty genes from Baltimore.—CRT
Krafty Kuts
Fabriclive.34 (Fabric)
Keeping the party up at all costs is the current mantra of the DJ; no more chin-stroking nerd conventions for today's clubbers. But fellas like Brighton, England's Krafty Kuts (Martin Reeves) have been living by that code for years. With shades of the big-beat boom, Kuts delivers breaks—unusual old-school hip-hop cuts but with a heavy dose of thumping U.K. dance. It's definitely an easy party but hardly dumbed down for the masses. —JD
Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas
Reinterpretations (eskimo recordings)
We've already sung the praises of this Norwegian space-disco outfit's self-titled album from 2006 and everything they've touched as individuals. So it makes sense that we love the early tapes, too. Here, the duo reworks its debut EP from 2005 with alternate versions and B-sides plus two unreleased tracks. It's more moody than funky with its drowsy piano lines and laid-back, one-take guitar riffs on top of arpeggiated synths. Let's hear it for not trying too hard. —JD
Various artists
5 Years of Get Physical (Get Physical)
Being one of the most commercially successful new European underground-dance labels has put Get Physical on the radar of hip Joe and Jane Clubber—and in the sights of the backlash contingent. What better way to straighten out the badmouths and hype the brand than with a label retrospective? Disc one is crammed with remixes of GP's bona fide hits by high-profile dudes: Henrik Schwarz, the Rapture, Moby. Sure, it's accessible, but far from generic. Disc two's exclusive tracks are slightly weirder, but tunes from Elektrochemie and a cameo from Laurie Anderson have hooks.—JD
Aja West and Friends
Total Recall 2012 (Mackrosoft LLC)
Producer Aja West secured a name melding funk-pop, beats and soul and leading his group the Mackrosoft to great heights during a successful ten-album tenure. West takes a creative detour with this solo album, teaming up with a slew of both like-minded and radically divergent comrades for a surreal trip into the heart of dirty psychedelic R&B. Among others, Money Mark, Parliament producer Fred Wesley, Les Claypool associate Skerik, and Herbie Hancock collaborators Mike Clark and Paul Jackson join in on the multiple-instrument, vocoder-rich descent into strangeness. Tracks like "Point. Click. Drag. Drop." and "Clouds Imitate Life" use a rich jazz platform and are sultry and soulful in their downtempo meandering, yet "2012 Suite" takes this jazz manipulation elsewhere with reverb and bells. The one downfall may be an excessive use of a wailing vocal.—CRT

Deadly snakes are not a typical occupational hazard for most college professors, but Allen Gontz of Weymouth is not most college professors.
A coastal geologist and geophysicist who teaches at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, Gontz is researching landscape evolution and sea-level change during a sabbatical in Queensland, Australia.
As part of his work, he drags a box with ground-penetrating radar that creates an image of the layers below the surface. He is looking for differences in sediment size, organic material, minerals and water content.
Interesting, perhaps, but not so exciting until a venomous king brown snake sidles up to the box. It's only happened once.
"While I'm not a herpetologist, it's not out of the question that the snake could sense the radar's electro magnetic energy," he says.
Gontz has been in Australia for seven months. He is working with Patrick Moss, a University of Queensland paleoecologist and pollen scientist, to investigate environmental changes in lake and coastal systems. By collecting data of past coastal landscapes and understanding the ecology of past climates, Gontz and his colleagues can better understand future environmental responses to climate and sea-level change.
"What makes sea level change comparisons of Massachusetts and Queensland over the past 12,000 years so intriguing, is that while Massachusetts has seen a constant rise, Queensland has seen a rise, fall, rise over the same time period," he says.
One of his research sites is North Stradbroke Island, the world's second largest sand island. It has sand dunes estimated to be over 460,000 years old that reach heights of almost 800 feet, nearly as tall as Boston's Prudential Center.
Flinders Beach, which has never been mined for sand, is serving as the Australian counterpart to Gontz's research on Plymouth Long Beach and the Boston Harbor Islands.
During his sabbatical, Gontz has traveled throughout southeast Queensland and northeastern New South Wales investigating environmental changes in river and coastal systems. He returns home in January.
Gontz is 42 and has lived at the Ledges in Weymouth for 7 1/2 years. When he's not on sabbatical, he uses his ground-scan radar to help Quincy Police on cold murder cases and to help archaeologists identify unmarked colonial graves on Rainsford Island in Boston Harbor.
He has also examined coastal dynamics on Plymouth Beach and a 2,700-year-old submerged red cedar forest at Standish Point in Duxbury. He has worked with the Jones River Watershed Association on the removal of the dam on the Triphammer property.

text: Non-Fiction-- Rawlinson to Roberts Rawlinson, Mark. British Writing of the Second World War (Oxford University Press, 2000). British Writing of the Second World War is the first study to provide a detailed critical and historical survey of British literary culture in wartime. Concerned as much with war as with writing, it explores the significance of cultural representations of violence to the administration of the war effort. A theoretical account of the symbolic practices which connect military violence to policy provides a framework for analysing imaginative and documentary literature in its relations both to propaganda and to Peoples War ideals of social reconstruction. The book evaluates wartime fictions and memoirs in the context of official and unofficial discourses about military aviation, the Blitz, campaigns in North Africa, war aims, the conscript Army and the Home Front, Prisoners of War, and the Holocaust. It uncovers the processes by which the meanings the war had for participants were produced, and provides an extensive bibliographical resource for future scholarship. Reese, Willy Peter. A Stranger to Myself: The Inhumanity of War: Russia, 1941-1944 (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005). A Stranger to Myself: The Inhumanity of War, Russia 1941-44 is the haunting memoir of a young German soldier on the Russian front during World War II. Willy Peter Reese was only twenty years old when he found himself marching through Russia with orders to take no prisoners. Three years later he was dead. Bearing witness to--and participating in--the atrocities of war, Reese recorded his reflections in his diary, leaving behind an intelligent, touching, and illuminating perspective on life on the eastern front. He documented the carnage perpetrated by both sides, the destruction which was exacerbated by the young soldiers' hunger, frostbite, exhaustion, and their daily struggle to survive. And he wrestled with his own sins, with the realization that what he and his fellow soldiers had done to civilians and enemies alike was unforgivable, with his growing awareness of the Nazi policies toward Jews, and with his deep disillusionment with himself and his fellow men. Reeves, Richard. Daring Young Men (Simon and Schuster, 2010).In the early hours of June 26, 1948, phones began ringing across America, waking up the airmen of World War II -- pilots, navigators, and mechanics -- who were finally beginning normal lives with new houses, new jobs, new wives, and new babies. Some were given just forty-eight hours to report to local military bases. The president, Harry S. Truman, was recalling them to active duty to try to save the desperate people of the western sectors of Berlin, the enemy capital many of them had bombed to rubble only three years before.Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin had ordered a blockade of the city, isolating the people of West Berlin, using hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers to close off all land and water access to the city. He was gambling that he could drive out the small detachments of American, British, and French occupation troops, because their only option was to stay and watch Berliners starve -- or retaliate by starting World War III. The situation was impossible, Truman was told by his national security advisers, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff. His answer: "We stay in Berlin. Period." That was when the phones started ringing and local police began banging on doors to deliver telegrams to the vets.Drawing on service records and hundreds of interviews in the United States, Germany, and Great Britain, Reeves tells the stories of these civilian airmen, the successors to Stephen Ambrose's "Citizen Soldiers," ordinary Americans again called to extraordinary tasks. They did the impossible, living in barns and muddy tents, flying over Soviet-occupied territory day and night, trying to stay awake, making it up as they went along and ignoring Russian fighters and occasional anti-aircraft fire trying to drive them to hostile ground.The Berlin Airlift changed the world. It ended when Stalin backed down and lifted the blockade, but only after the bravery and sense of duty of those young heroes had bought the Allies enough time to create a new West Germany and sign the mutual defense agreement that created NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Reid, Brian A. No Holding Back: Operation Totalize, Normandy, August 1944 (Robin Brass Studio, 2004). "We have to risk everything. A breakthrough has occurred near Caen the like of which we have never seen." That stark assessment on 8 August 1944 reflected the German reaction to Operation Totalize, the first attack mounted by First Canadian Army in World War II. Nine days later Canadian infantry rooted out the last German defenders of Falaise, but thousands had escaped from Normandy to fight again. That Totalize and Tractable, its successor, failed to trap the Germans in Normandy has been the subject of controversy for sixty years. In this book, Brian Reidhas undertaken the first detailed study of Totalize and Tractable, including an examination of the part played by both land and air forces in the battles. Reid, Constance Bowman and Clara Marie Allen. Slacks and Calluses (Smithsonian, 2004). In 1943 two spirited young teachers decided to do their part for the war effort by spending their summer vacation working the swing shift on a B-24 production line at a San Diego bomber plant. Entering a male-dominated realm of welding torches and bomb bays, they learned to use tools that they had never seen before, live with aluminum shavings in their hair, and get along with supervisors and coworkers from all walks of life. And they learned that wearing their factory slacks on the street caused men to treat them in a way for which their "dignified schoolteacher-hood" hadn't prepared them. At times charming, hilarious, and incredibly perceptive, Slacks and Calluses brings into focus an overlooked part of the war effort, one that forever changed the way the women were viewed in America. Reynolds, E. Bruce. Thailand's Secret War: OSS, SOE and the Free Thai Underground During World War II (Cambridge University Press, 2005). Despite its 1941 alliance with Japan, Thai leaders managed to establish clandestine relations with China, Britain and the United States, each of which had ambitions for postwar influence in Bangkok. Based largely on recently declassified intelligence records, this narrative history thoroughly explores these relations, details Allied secret operations and sheds new light on the intense rivalry between the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Rhodes, Richard. Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb (Simon and Schuster, 1996). Here, for the first time, in a brilliant, panoramic portrait by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb, is the definitive, often shocking story of the politics and the science behind the development of the hydrogen bomb and the birth of the Cold War. Based on secret files in the United States and the former Soviet Union, this monumental work of history discloses how and why the United States decided to create the bomb that would dominate world politics for more than forty years. Rhodes, Richard. Masters of Death (Vintage 2003). In Masters of Death, Rhodes gives full weight, for the first time, to the Einsatzgruppen's role in the Holocaust. These "special task forces," organized by Heinrich Himmler to follow the German army as it advanced into eastern Poland and Russia, were the agents of the first phase of the Final Solution. They murdered more than 1.5 million men, women, and children between 1941 and 1943, often by shooting them into killing pits, as at Babi Yar. These massive crimes have been generally overlooked or underestimated by Holocaust historians, who have focused on the gas chambers. In this painstaking account, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes profiles the eastern campaign's architects as well as its "ordinary" soldiers and policemen, and helps us understand how such men were conditioned to carry out mass murder. Marshaling a vast array of documents and the testimony of perpetrators and survivors, this book is an essential contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust and World War II. Ringlesbach, Dorthy. OSS: Stories that Can Now be Told (AuthorHouse, 2005). Have you heard about Raunchy? Who was he? Or how about the night the Cabbie sold two greenhorns cold tea in place of scotch? These are just two examples of why you should read this book You will not only find out more about the two above incidents, but you will also understand why the people in the OSS are still reluctant to talk much about those years. Why was there very little known about this group until much later after the war ended and this information was declassified? What made it the best-kept secret of WWII? Read this book and find out more about the OSS and what made it the best-kept secret. Roberts, Geoffrey. Stalin's Wars: From World War to Cold War, 1939-1953 (Yale University Press, 2007). This breakthrough book provides a detailed reconstruction of Stalin's leadership from the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 to his death in 1953. Making use of a wealth of new material from Russian archives, Geoffrey Roberts challenges a long list of standard perceptions of Stalin: his qualities as a leader; his relationships with his own generals and with other great world leaders; his foreign policy; and his role in instigating the Cold War. While frankly exploring the full extent of Stalin's brutalities and their impact on the Soviet people, Roberts also uncovers evidence leading to the stunning conclusion that Stalin was both the greatest military leader of the twentieth century and a remarkable politician who sought to avoid the Cold War and establish a long-term detente with the capitalist world. By means of an integrated military, political, and diplomatic narrative, the author draws a sustained and compelling personal portrait of the Soviet leader. The resulting picture is fascinating and contradictory, and it will inevitably change the way we understand Stalin and his place in history. Roberts depicts a despot who helped save the world for democracy, a personal charmer who disciplined mercilessly, a utopian ideologue who could be a practical realist, and a warlord who undertook the role of architect of post-war peace.

A pretty San Francisco teen clings to her innocence while embracing a career as an adult-film starlet in this gritty drama featuring James Franco, Lili Taylor, and Heather Graham. Enticed into posing nude by her depraved boyfriend (Jonny Weston), shy high-school student Angelica ( Ashley Hinshaw) falls into the world of fetish photography, which she begins to see as a means of escaping her dead-end life. Meanwhile, as she weighs her options and struggles to be a good role model for her impressionable younger sister, her shrewd mother (Taylor) and shady stepfather offer little solace. Under the guidance of a sensitive female porn director (Graham), Angelica stands a good chance of becoming a big star. But as the conflicted teen bares her soul to her understanding best friend (Dev Patel), she also finds herself falling under the spell of a drug-addicted lawyer (Franco) who may be her undoing. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Patience Philips (Halle Berry) seems destined to spend her life apologizing for taking up space. Despite her artistic ability -- she has a more than respectable career as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a Goliath cosmetics company -- Patience is excruciatingly shy, quick to take blame, and, not surprisingly, more than a little depressed at the end of the day. This comes to somewhat of a screeching halt when Patience not only inadvertently lands herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy of gargantuan proportions, but on the city police force's most wanted list. Newly quipped with a mysterious feline prowess, Patience is a different person come nighttime -- more accurately, a catwoman. Elusive, untamed, powerful, stealthy, and not necessarily prone to erring on the side of good, Patience has gone from doormat to vigilante. Police officer Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), who has fallen for shy Patience, is determined to apprehend Catwoman and figure out her role in a recent crime spree, though his fascination with her doesn't cease with the end of his shift and it threatens to lead to the downfall of himself, his investigation, and the woman who was once the timid Patience Philips. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

As homeowners refinance into some of the lowest mortgage rates on record, mortgage repayment rates climbed to their highest levels since 2005, National Mortgage News reported Oct. 3.
Using data from analytics firm Lender Processing Services, National Mortgage News reported that the rate at which home loans were repaid in August could alleviate 25 percent of the nation's overall mortgage debt in one year.
LPS's prepayment data factored in borrower defaults as well as debt retired in home sales, which increased in August to a two-year high as the housing market showed signs of recovery.
"There should be a lot of opportunity for people to refinance," Herb Blecher, senior vice president at LPS Applied Analytics, told National Mortgage News. "The interest rate environment is favorable even for folks who refinanced recently to get a new loan."
Rates for a typical 30-year fixed-rate mortgage have dropped significantly from last year's high of 5.05 percent, which has prompted an influx of repeat refinancing. Prepayment speeds in August climbed 23 percent and most of the increase involved loans made in 2011, LPS data showed, according to National Mortgage News.
Prepayments on loans to underwater borrowers who owe at least 20 percent more than their property's value have risen 65 percent through August, the fastest on record.

Take the Guess Work Out of Your Next Used Car
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011Yesterday was the 2010 tax return deadline, and resulting refunds will starts arriving in the next few days, many consumers will take the opportunity to use this extra money to buy a used vehicle. However, BBB warns that used car dealers were one of the most complained about industries last year with over 400 complaints. While the majority of complaints were resolved, many disputes could have been prevented by consumers taking the time to ask detailed questions and research dealerships in advance.
To help prevent any issues when buying your next used vehicle, BBB suggests the following tips:
- View the dealer's BBB Business Review. This will give you information about the length of time they have been in business, their history of complaints and complaint resolution, and any past advertising concerns we may have found.
- Shop for vehicles that still have a portion of the original manufacturer's warranty. Most vehicles have at least a three-year or 36,000 mile basic warranty coverage, and often longer "power train" coverage on the engine and transmission. This means if you buy a car that is less than three years old, you may get at least a year or so of free maintenance. Just be sure to confirm the details of the warranty and whether it is fully transferable.
- Consider a certified, pre-owned (CPO) vehicle. These are vehicles that typically have been given multipoint inspections before being put on the lot. CPO programs are backed by many automakers and the vehicles may include an extended warranty on major parts such as the engine and transmission at no cost.
- Do a background check on the vehicle. For a small cost, you can use a service like CARFAX to find the vehicle service and history report. Write down the vehicle identification number (VIN) to check for accident reports, previous owners and why the vehicle has been taken to repair shops in the past. You can also check if certain items on the vehicle have ever been recalled.
- Test drive and inspect the vehicle. The dealer or individual seller should have nothing to hide. If they do not allow you to test drive the vehicle or allow a third-party mechanic to look it over, do not buy it.
To check the reliability of a company and find trustworthy businesses, visit BBB.

Woop Woop! I had no idea we were leading the comp. If Vettel hadn't lost 3rd it would have been even better since he's one of my drivers. I agree with you about the pit stops too Wild, it would be far more interesting if the teams had to make a couple during the race. Given the bumpy track and the high temps too Bahrain was probably pretty harsh on the tryes, at a track like Monza they might even be able to go the whole race on the hard tyres! Force them to use 3 different sets during the race instead of just 2 and it would be a lot more interesting.

We would be further ahead if Vettel hadnt lost 3rd as he is also one of my drivers, but I also took a risk and have Red Bull as one of my teams.

- First, it ensures that air quality is not significantly degraded from the addition of new and modified factories, industrial boilers and power plants. In areas with unhealthy air, NSR assures that new emissions do not slow progress toward cleaner air. In areas with clean air, especially pristine areas like national parks, NSR assures that new emissions do not significantly worsen air quality.
- Second, the NSR program assures that any large new or modified industrial source will be as clean as possible, and that advances in pollution control occur concurrently with industrial expansion.
State & Local Permitting Programs
Each of the Region 7 states operates a minor and major source construction permitting program under a fully approved
state implementation plan (SIP). For more information on contacts, public notices, permits, links to the state permit
web sites, permit forms, and information on Section 107 baseline increment areas, select the state of interest.
NSR Policy and Guidance Compendium
Since 1978, EPA has provided guidance to Regions, States and Permittees to assist in the implementation of the Part D
nonattainment and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) construction permit programs. This compilation contains
over 600 EPA-issued policy and guidance documents, which you can search on-line, download to your
personal PC or corporate network, or view in a sortable index.
Major Source Permitting Milestones... Past and Present
EPA Region 7 and four states have issued a large number of PSD and Part D permits since 1978.
For historical information for each project see the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet below.

Featuring PWM function, the ARCTIC F PWM fans run at the most necessary speed to deliver maximum cooling capacity at the lowest noise level possible. On top of that, thanks to the patented innovative PWM Sharing Technology (PST), up to 5 fans (including CPU fans) can be connected to the ARCTIC F PWM fan to share the PWM signal. The speed of all the fans in this PST system is now centrally controlled by a single PWM signal via BIOS.
As a result, when the system load increases, fan speed of all fans connected in the PST system will be increased in order to lower the case temperature. Likewise, when the load is low, these fans will operate at a relatively low speed for sufficient cooling.

Great Fans at a Bargain Price

I bought four of these to replace some noisy YS Tech fans in my fathers PC and I've been really impressed. The PWM function works great (and means you don't need a fan controller), and are currently operating almost silently (a big improvement over the YS Tech fans) with the Motherboard PWM function enabled.
These Fans are a bit more fiddly to fit than standard ones (as you have to daisy chain them from the MB CPU PWM Fan Header) but not a big issue. They also seem to move a lot more air than the Noctuas I normally go for, and at £2.98 they are a bargain!

I drew this on the driveway at our house and my mom said I should submit it. I am a huge Sabres fan and I am hoping for them to go all the way next year!
