Dave Chappelle Movies
Like future co-stars Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, and Norm MacDonald, Dave Chappelle entered the movie business via standup comedy. Born in Ohio and raised in Washington, D.C., Chappelle studied acting at D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts and honed his skills as a laid-back yet socially attuned comic in the city's clubs. After making his movie debut as one of the merry men in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), Chappelle concentrated primarily on his comedy career and appeared regularly on late night and cable television. He returned to films with small yet key parts in two summer blockbusters: as a comic who helps spoil a date for Murphy's rotund scientist in The Nutty Professor (1996) and as a manic inmate aboard the hijacked convict plane in Con Air (1997). Hitting his movie stride in 1998, Chappelle co-wrote and starred in the prison/pothead caper Half Baked (1998), played a randy schemer in Woo (1998), and revealed that he could also play it (somewhat) straight as Tom Hanks' best friend in Nora Ephron's popular romantic comedy You've Got Mail (1998). Maintaining his dual professions, Chappelle turned a cameo role as Lawrence's former criminal partner into a full-fledged supporting turn in Blue Streak (1999), co-starred with
in the ill-received Screwed (2000), and returned to Washington, D.C., and HBO with his special Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly (2000).
Chappelle had better luck with his next film, the blaxploitation spoof Undercover Brother (2002). As the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D.'s terminally paranoid agent Conspiracy Brother, Chappelle was a hilariously twitchy comic highlight in the hit-or-miss satire; Undercover Brother became a small hit amid the summer blockbusters. Chappelle's cutting humor could also be heard on TV that same season, with Chappelle lending his voice as a prank caller to Comedy Central's ribald puppet "reality" show Crank Yankers (2002). His characters on that show were a hit with audiences in search of a hearty laugh, and the following year Comedy Central gave the comedian his own series - the aptly titled Chappelle's Show. Perhaps one of the most controversial series - comedy or otherwise - to hit the airwaves in recent memory, Chappelle's Show offered searing social commentary while frequently pushing the boundaries of good taste. With sketch subjects including a blind black man who - not realizing his true race - heads the Ku Klux Klan and collaborators including former Sanford and Son writer Paul Mooney, the series frequently courted controversy much to the delight of its loyal legions of fans. 2005 marked the released of the comedian's brainchild, Dave Chappelle's Block Party, which documented a free, unpublicized, all-star hip-hop concert in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

In the vein of such contemporaries as Martin Lawrence, Eddie Griffin and Norm McDonald, African American comic Dave Chappelle launched himself as a stand-up act, then segued into movies with turns in such comedies as Mel Brooks's Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) (as one of the Merry Men Rappers), Eddie Murphy's The Nutty Professor (1996) (as a standup who ruins the title character's date, and is then tortured by his alter ego), and Nora Ephron's You've Got Mail (as Tom Hanks's wisecracking assistant). As the new millennium dawned, Chappelle established himself on Crank Yankers, Comedy Central's gutterbucket answer to The Jerky Boys, as one of the recurring prank phone callers. The success of this turn induced the network to give Chappelle his own sketch comedy program, The Dave Chappelle Show, in which he used a cutting, acerbic wit and keen insights to examine racial attitudes and African American icons, such as Prince and Rick James. Then, the comedian suddenly and unexpectedly dropped out of the limelight, abandoned the program and took a pilgrimage to Africa. In Inside the Actor's Studio: Dave Chappelle, taped in early 2006, the talented comedian sits on the infamous stage opposite 12+ year series host James Lipton and discusses his life, his career accomplishments, and what he learned from his African journey. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

In September 2004, comedian Dave Chappelle took a break from his immensely successful Comedy Central show to stage a free, unpublicized, all-star hip-hop concert in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Inviting fans over the Internet, on the street, and even in his family's hometown of Yellow Springs, OH, Chappelle asked filmmaker Michel Gondry to document the event from its inception on through to the performances themselves. The result is Dave Chappelle's Block Party, a concert film that provides not only a sampling of the music on display that September, but also an intimate look at the comedian himself. Gondry's cameras tag along with Chappelle as he visits Ohio, recruits a university marching band to play at the show, and surveys the opinions of Clinton Hill on the show that's about to take place. Along the way, we're introduced to some the comedian's favorite acts, in rehearsals and on-stage: Dead Prez, Jill Scott, Mos Def, the Roots, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, and the surprise reuniting of the Fugees. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Season two of Chappelle's Show brings forth such guest stars as DMX, Ludacris, Jamie Foxx, Wayne Brady, Eddie Griffin, Samuel L. Jackson (hawking his own brand of beer), and Snoop Dogg (who also appears in puppet form!). In one memorable episode, Dave Chappelle reintroduces one of his season-one characters, crackhead Tyrone Biggums, in a "lost episode" of Fear Factor. This season also introduced the recurring segment "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories," in which Chappelle would reenact supposedly true incidents between Murphy and such celebrities as Rick James and Prince (with Chappelle playing those celebrities). Other highlights include the trials and tribulations of a white family named the "Niggars"; Chappelle magnanimously taking the place of such famous black courtroom defendants as R. Kelly and Michael Jackson; what the world would be like if everyone was gay; a
close encounter with Oprah Winfrey; and the saga of "Prince NegroDamus." ~ Rovi

It isn't usually until after a popular comic dies that he is declared a "genius" by his fellow comics and elevated to the status of legend -- fortunately for Richard Pryor, his peers have decided to pay homage while he's still around to appreciate it. In his heyday, Pryor was a comedian who wasn't afraid of breaking the rules and shattering the conventions of the era, and his approach to such previously taboo issues as race and sex influenced legions of future comics. Featuring footage from Pryor's remarkable career as well as interviews with such contemporary standup heavies as Dave Chappelle, Denis Leary, Jon Stewart, and Wanda Sykes, this documentary takes viewers on a hilarious and affectionate trip through Pryor's remarkable career. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Chappelle's Show [TV Series]
This weekly sketch comedy series was a splendid vehicle for the talents of in-your-face African-American monologist Dave Chappelle. All of the sequences gleefully played what political pundits refer to as "the race card," with Chappelle attacking any number of sacred cows, both white and black. One of the series' most talked about sketches featured Chappelle as Clayton Bigsby, a blind white supremacist who had no idea that he was African-American. Created by the star and his longtime collaborator Neal Brennan (the team's previous credits included the theatrical feature Half Baked), Chappelle's Show premiered January 22, 2003, on the Comedy Central cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season one of Chappelle's Show is highlighted by one of star Dave Chappelle's most inspired character creations: Clayton Bigsby, a blind man who doesn't know he is black and has become a race-bashing member of the Ku Klux Klan! Also good for laughs are Dave's faux "outtakes" from the miniseries Roots; a dramatization of what will happen when blacks finally get all that "reparation" money; the bigoted viewpoints of Hollywood's biggest animal stars; a crack addict's anti-drug speech at a grade school; the time-traveling "Player Haters"; Dave's recurring feature "Great Moments in Hook-Up History"; and funky revisionist versions of Ghost, Pretty Woman, and The Matrix. Guest stars include comedian Chris Rock, talk show host Carson Daly, musical performers 50 Cent and Mos Def...and Stephen King (!?!?). ~ Rovi

Undercover Brother
Add Undercover Brother to Queue
Add Undercover Brother to top of Queue
Undercover Brother began life as an animated series on the Internet. The satirical cartoon was created by novelist and screenwriter John Ridley (Three Kings) for the website urbanentertainment.com. Ridley wrote the screenplay with Michael McCullers, co-writer of the Austin Powers sequels, and it was directed by Malcolm D. Lee (Spike Lee's cousin, and the writer/director of The Best Man). The film stars Eddie Griffin (of TV's Malcolm and Eddie) as Undercover Brother, he of the gold Cadillac convertible and huge Afro, who uses gadgets and disguises to steal from the rich and give to the poor. His activities are discovered by the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., a spy organization devoted to subverting The Man (Robert Trumbull) and his henchman, Mr. Feather (Chris Kattan), who use their power over the media to demean black people and destroy racial unity. The spy organization is run by The Chief (Chi McBride), who is constantly screaming at his subordinates. They include Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis), a beautiful martial artist, Conspiracy Brother (Dave Chappelle), who sees white supremacist plots everywhere, and Smart Brother (Gary Anthony Williams, who provided the voice of Undercover Brother in the cartoon), who supplies the operatives with gadgets and information. When a popular black political figure, General Boutwell (Billy Dee Williams), calls a press conference, presumably to announce his presidential candidacy, and instead announces that he's opening a chain of fried chicken restaurants, the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. rightly suspects foul play, and recruits Undercover Brother to look into it. He goes undercover as an uptight buppie to work for The Man, but his cover is soon blown, and the seductive White She Devil (Denise Richards) is sent in to use her feminine wiles to destroy Undercover Brother. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

As the hours pass and no one shows, Monica begins to unravel. She must bribe Hilary to stay with the promise of a clear shot at Monica's old boyfriend, Eric (Brian McCardie).

Can a crook go straight without really trying? Jewel thief Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) was being chased by the police after a robbery when he was forced to hide a cache of diamonds, worth $20 million, at a construction site. Despite his caution, Miles ended up behind bars anyway; after serving his time, he goes back to retrieve the stones only to discover what was being built: a police station. Miles needs to spend some time at the station to figure out what happened to his nest egg, so he sneaks in, posing as a police detective. Trouble is, he's so convincing that the cops assign him a rookie partner, Carlson (Luke Wilson), to put through training. To his surprise, Miles turns out to be a good cop, and the more he tries to find the missing diamonds, the higher he's promoted through the department, until he finds himself in line for a top spot in the detective's division. Supporting Lawrence and Wilson in Blue Streak are Dave Chappelle, William Forsythe, and Nicole Parker. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Daisy von Scherler Mayer (Madeline, Party Girl) directed this comedy, scripted by David C. Johnson (D.R.O.P. Squad), following the trajectory of a mismatched couple throughout the evening of a blind date in New York (but mostly filmed in Toronto). Extrovert Darlene "Woo" Bates (Jada Pinkett Smith of Scream 2) is one woman who's not afraid to take what she wants, and she has a notorious knack for turning men into mush. When Woo's psychic friend Celestrial (Girlina) predicts that the man of her dreams is about to enter her life, Woo doesn't believe it's true. Celestrial, however, is convinced that Woo is destined to meet a tall, debonair Virgo. Woo's cousin Claudette (Paula Jai Parker of Friday) and Claudette's boyfriend Lenny (Dave Chapelle of Con Air) plan to spend the night together but find themselves entertaining Woo instead. Fearing that his night alone with Claudette will be ruined, Lenny begs his best friend Tim Jackson (Tommy Davidson of Booty Call) to take Woo out -- even though shy, straight-laced law clerk Tim is the polar opposite of the sassy and brassy Woo. At first, Woo expresses disinterest in the matchmaking mismatch. But when she's told that Tim is a Virgo, she decides it's fate, jumps at the chance, and immediately heads for Tim's apartment. Meanwhile, Tim, who can't believe his luck, goes next door to his neighbor Darryl (LL Cool J of B.A.P.S.) for tips on romancing women. Darryl, who knows all the smooth moves, supplies Tim with incense, edible body oils, and a tape of sexy songs. When Woo arrives, Tim is completely smitten. Woo, however, discovers that Tim is anything but the sexy, spontaneous stud of her dreams. Finding Tim's pseudo-cool act totally transparent, she humiliates and teases him. They are just about to exit Tim's apartment when Tim gets a visit from three of his pals -- Frankie (Duane Martin of Getting Personal), Hop (Darrel M. Heath of B.A.P.S.), and Romaine (Michael Ralph of Do the Right Thing). The chauvinistic attitude of these guys irritates Woo, so she retaliates and freaks out the trio with wild, seemingly psycho behavior. Finally, the date gets underway. Woo and Tim arrive at a stuffy Italian restaurant, but Woo's behavior gets them thrown out. They go to a dance club, where Tim becomes the victim, punched out by Woo's ex-boyfriend. Woo likes a good laugh, and when Tim discovers the theft of his flashy new car, she finds this hilarious. "Maybe we could be having a good time, if you could control your psychotic mood swings," says Tim. And so it goes, straight on till morning. Billy Dee Williams portrays himself in a brief fantasy sequence. Daisy von Scherler Mayer is a native New Yorker who made film history when her movie Party Girl became the first feature film to premiere on the Internet (on June 3, 1995). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Sleepless in Seattle director Nora Ephron originally made a name for herself as the writer of romantic comedies such as Heartburn and When Harry Met Sally. She continues the genre with You've Got Mail, marking her second collaboration with actors Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The story brings romance and courtship into the electronic age of the World Wide Web via e-mail and chat rooms. Joe Fox (Hanks) and Kathleen Kelly (Ryan) live and work blocks from each other on New York City's Upper West Side. Their lives are practically intertwined. They both shop at the same place, frequent the same coffee shop, and even own competing bookstores on the same street. They also both have significant others of their own. Joe has the overly hyper book editor Patricia Eden (Parker Posey), while Kathleen lives with the scholarly newspaper columnist Frank Navasky (Greg Kinnear). Then they meet in a chat room. Though they keep their identities secret (they're known only by screen names "NY152" and "Shopgirl"), they tell each other everything about their lives, including their private feelings, which slowly turn into affection for each other. When Joe decides to open a new branch of his "Foxbooks" chain that risks putting Kathleen's "Shop Around the Corner" out of business, the tension between them escalates. Surely her boutique business will be lost to the conglomerate with a built-in newsstand and coffee bar. When Joe sees Kathleen waiting for him in the restaurant where they agreed to meet up, he puts two and two together, but cannot face her, given their agreement not to reveal each others' names and professions. How can he reveal himself to her now, knowing that he is the cause of her misery? Hopefully, love will conquer all. ~ Chris Gore, Rovi

Former war hero Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) is sentenced to eight years in prison when he accidentally kills a man in a barroom brawl while defending his pregnant wife. When his release comes through, he's eager to see the daughter he's never met. However, Poe's original flight is delayed, so he's put aboard a flight transporting ten of the most dangerous men in the American penal system to a new high-security facility. One of the criminals, Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (John Malkovich), is a serial killer and insane genius who has hatched a diabolical plot: with the help of several other hoods, including Diamond Dog (Ving Rhames), Johnny 23 (Daniel Trejo), and Garland Greene (Steve Buscemi), Cyrus and his men will hijack the plane and fly to a neutral nation where they can live as free men. Poe finds himself stuck in the middle; he has to find a way to get home, keep himself alive, look after his cellmate Baby-O (Mykelti Williamson), who will die without proper medicine, and try to help the cops on the ground, including agent Vince Larkin (John Cusack). Producer Jerry Bruckheimer's first film after the death of his partner Don Simpson, Con Air shows he learned well how to assemble the formula all by himself, with plenty of action, stunts, and special effects and not a lot of story to get in the way. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Buddies [TV Series]
Long before he headlined his own cutting-edge Comedy Central sketch series, African-Amercian comedian Dave Chappelle was the co-star of the conformist ABC sitcom Buddies. Chappelle and Christopher Gartin were cast as black Chicagoan Dave Carlisle and Dave's lifelong white pal John Butler, who ran a small videotaping company called Hi-Intensity. Hoping to break into the big time and land a Hollywood contract, our heroes exercised their auteur filmmaking muscles at various Windy City social functions, including weddings, birthday parties, Bar Mitzvahs, and funerals. Also in the cast was Paula Cale as John's wacky young bride Lorraine, Tanya Wright as Dave's sassy girlfriend Phyllis Brooks, Judith Ivey as Lorraine's trailer trash, epithet-spouting mother Maureen "Mo" DeMoss, and former Shaft star Richard Roundtree as Dave's father -- and Hi-Intensity's no-nonsense landlord. Debuting March 5, 1996, as a spin-off of the successful ABC comedy series Home Improvement, Buddies fell far short of matching its parent series' success; it was canceled after five weeks, leaving eight of its completed episodes unshown. The entire series has since that time been released on DVD, to capitalize on Dave Chappelle's latter-day popularity. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Eddie Murphy gives one of Jerry Lewis' best-remembered vehicles a 1990s overhaul in this hit comedy. Sherman Klump (Murphy) is a college professor and respected biochemistry researcher who is kind, considerate, and a genuinely nice guy. Sherman is also appallingly overweight; coupled with the fact that he's painfully shy and a bit clumsy, his romantic prospects are rather bleak. When Sherman finds himself working with a pretty graduate student, Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett), he falls in love and is eager to impress her, but at an upscale nightclub, his weight attracts the attention of an insult comic (Dave Chappelle) and his bumbling spoils the evening. Sherman's latest project is a genetic weight loss formula, and despondent over his failure to win Carla's heart, he subjects himself to a massive dose. Suddenly, Sherman is transformed into the slim, trim, and handsome Buddy Love; however, the drug also boosts his testosterone level, turning the likable Sherman into the arrogant, skirt-chasing Buddy. In addition to playing Sherman and Buddy, Eddie Murphy also plays four other members of the porcine Klump family, as well as eccentric exercise guru Lance Perkins. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Getting In
An attempted black comedy, Getting In endeavors to satirize the cut-throat competition surrounding the medical school admissions process -- a struggle that in this case literally turns deadly. Gabriel Higgs is an aspiring medical student, not out of a great dedication to his craft but due to pressure by his parents, who expect him to follow the long-standing family tradition of attending Johns Hopkins and embarking upon a prominent medical career. However, a poor showing in the admissions test and several other mishaps conspire to place Gabriel on the school's waiting list. Desperate to gain entrance to the school before being disinherited, Gabriel takes to bribing his fellow waiting-list candidates to ensure his admission. But when the students at the top of the waiting list start turning up dead in rather nasty ways, Gabriel finds himself in real trouble. He must discover who is committing these crimes before he is blamed -- or becomes the next victim himself. Easily forgettable, the film is mainly notable for featuring early performances by future television stars Matthew Perry and Calista Flockhart, and for being the directorial debut of Doug Liman, who would receive critical acclaim for his second film, Swingers. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Mel Brooks directed and co-wrote this satiric comedy which lampoons a number of cinematic treatments of the legend of Sherwood Forest, including Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Adventures of Robin Hood. Robin Hood (Cary Elwes) comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard (Patrick Stewart) is in exile and that the despotic King John (Richard Lewis) now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees). Robin Hood assembles a band of fellow patriots to do battle with John and the Sheriff, including Asneeze (Isaac Hayes) and his son Ahchoo (Dave Chappelle), the blind watchman Blinkin (Mark Blankfield), Will Scarlet O'Hara (Matthew Porretta), and Rabbi Tuckman (Brooks). The Sheriff is eager to put Robin Hood out of business with the aid of criminal mastermind Don Giovanni (Dom DeLuise), but Robin soon has an ally in the royal palace when he falls for the lovely Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), whose minder Broomhilde (Megan Cavanagh) has uncooperatively outfitted Marian with a chastity belt. The cast also includes Tracy Ullman, Robert Ridgely, and Clive Revill. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Comic genius Dave Chappelle trained his satirical eye on the vagaries of pop culture and race relations in his brilliant but short-lived Comedy Central series CHAPPELLE'S SHOW. The edgy funnyman brandished his unique style of streetsmart comedy to skewer everything from car commercials to the KKK, blending sketches, parodies, standup, and musical guest performances into a hilarious sendup of modern American life. Though the show was cancelled after only two seasons, Chappelle did record a handful of skits for a possible third season, presented here as a collection of "lost episodes."

If you are a member of the school's faculty as part of a pair, don't give a tour, explain, apologize or show off. Look at your school and participate in the protocol with a beginner's mind.
Sharing Observations
Return to the large group and share your findings on the questions in sequence. A member of the school staff may want to record the responses on chart paper for future reference.
Host Reflections
People in the group who work in the school reflect aloud on what they heard that surprised and interested them and what they saw during their walk that was new.
Implications for Education
Discuss the implications of the observations for bringing a greater international focus to a school.
Debriefing the Protocol
Debrief the protocol. Was it valuable? How could it have been better? How might this protocol be put to use in the future?
If this protocol is used with staff members rather than visitors, use the responses from those who did the school walk as the evidence that the group uses to assess the levels of internationalization or specific trends seen in the evidence.
Protocols are most powerful and effective when used within an ongoing professional learning community such as a Critical Friends Group® and facilitated by a skilled coach. To learn more about professional learning communities and seminars for new or experienced coaches, please visit the National School Reform Faculty website at www.nsrfharmony.org.

Quite. In our case, all locally built software is in a separate tree, so reinstalling a machine is almost never a problem; the locally built software is either out on a backed-up NFS server, or its in a specific directory separate from the OS distribution, which can easily be backed up and restored. The configuration information is [almost] all handled by cfengine, so in most cases nothing needs to be backed up on the compute nodes at all, and rebuilding them is just a matter of PXE booting them, hands-off.

((The OOC is here))
Grifith presses his hand against the cold metal door which separates the hall from from his office quarters, the door slowly pushes open and comes to a halt as it hits the end of it's hinges rotation. Grifith walks through the doorway and heads straight for his chair, passing by the assassins who stand idly inside his office guarding the door. Grifith looks at both the assassins and give them a wave, he signals them to leave. The assassins exit his office and Grifith reclines on his office chair,"It's time for the announcement." Grifith thinks to himself. Grifith take a deep sigh and pulls up the intercom microphone. Grifith speak loud and clear into it,"This is a direct order to all the new assassin recruits. There will be a meeting tomorrow in the west hall at 10 am sharp. Failure to be present at this time will result in a demotion, and since you're all recruit, a demotion his equivalent to banishment from the Whalers. I cannot stress this enough, be on time or pay the consequences." Grifith dropped the microphone onto his large wooden desk and sat back in his chair once again.
Ron was in the training room practicing his sword play and his outsider abilities. The abilities were very new to Ron, making it awkward to handle, and even harder to preform. Ron had learned the basics of Blink, but couldn't seem to Tethering just right. He would try to use his Tethering to pick up the same object over and over again, but without luck. Ron gave up and took a break from training, grabbing a small water bottle that rested on top of his coat and gear. As Ron drank from the bottle, the intercom had buzzed to life. Ron could hear the man speaking on the intercom, and he new it was Grifith. Grifith spoke about a very important date and who should be there. Ron was a new recruit so he had to be in the west hall at 10 am sharp. Ron had a feeling he new what this was about but, for some reason, wasn't sure. Ron put on his gear and his coat, and started walking off to his resting quarters.

You have had a procedure known as a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a procedure to remove your gallbladder. People who have this procedure usually recover more quickly and have less pain than with open gallbladder surgery (called open cholecystectomy). There is no need for a special diet after this surgery.
You can live a full and healthy life without your gallbladder. This includes eating the foods and doing the things you enjoyed before your gallbladder problems started.
Ask someone to drive you to your appointments for the next 3 days. Don't drive until you are no longer taking pain medication.
Wash the skin around your incision daily with mild soap and water. It's okay to shower the day after your surgery.
Eat your regular diet. It is wise to stay away from rich, greasy, or spicy food for a few days.
Remember, it takes about 1 week for you to get most of your strength and energy back.

WatchGuard: Always On The Job
12:08 PM EST Fri. Jun. 04, 2010What is spread by rats and wipes out huge swaths of the human population with any major outbreak? The Black Plague would be one correct answer and computer viruses would be another, though for the latter, victims would be human productivity and hard-drive populations.
Emerging as the sentinels of this modern scourge are companies like WatchGuard, the Seattle-based manufacturer of appliances dedicated to inoculating computer networks from the spread of viruses. The company in November unveiled three new models in its XCS series of 1U appliances to provide small and midsize businesses with always-on protection from spam, viruses, spyware, phishing and other threats borne by e-mail.
The CRN Test Center received for review a pair of XCS 370s, the middle product in WatchGuard's three-piece XCS lineup for the SMB.The XCS 370 lists for $5,500 and is designed to handle up to 500 users; the XCS 170 ($2,475) and XCS 570 ($8,500) have a respective rated capacity of 250 users and 1,000 users. Ongoing support costs $1,200 per year. There are no per-user fees, and all include access to the company's ReputationAuthority, a cloud-based filtering system that eliminates as much as 98 percent of unwanted e-mail, according to claims. ReputationAuthority uses a combination of DNS blacklisting, analysis of IP traffic volume and behavior, and content inspection to do its job. And it does so before the content ever hits user networks. It also serves to alert deployed boxes of new threats in realtime.
Out of the box, XCS units are configured to stand alone, but with a few mouse clicks can be set to act as the primary, secondary or client node in a cluster. An unlimited number of XCS boxes can be deployed as cluster nodes for load balancing and failover redundancy, each backing up the others in an N+1 configuration, and all managed from a single (primary) node.
"You might have two boxes in New York, another in Canada and one in Japan," said WatchGuard sales engineer Michael Guild during his visit to the Test Center. "They all have their own unique IP address, and any box can manage the cluster. So there's no single point of failure and changes made to the first box are replicated to others in the cluster automatically." Also, message queues are mirrored on every box, he explained, so if any box goes down, unprocessed messages on that box don't remain that way. "That's a unique feature," Guild said.
The management interface, which Guild said is modeled after Microsoft's Ribbon, organizes device functions into tabs for Status, Security, Configuration, Administration and Support, each with its own set of further categorized subfunction screens. For example, the Activity tab presents sections for Status, History, Queue/Quarantine, Reports and Logs. The interface might seem daunting at first, but testers quickly got used to its layout and snappy performance. Selecting an option presents a form below the ribbon in which settings can be input or selected from check boxes. Each option has a corresponding help button, which when hovered over provides information that's actually helpful, rather than simply repeating the field's label.
To simplify initial configuration, the WatchGuard appliance includes a wizard, but according to Guild, two key settings still need to be made manually to get the unit running. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a wizard? We just had to ask. "Yes, but those settings are in the setup guide," Guild said. "It's fixed in the next release," he added, referring to version 9.1 of the XCS' embedded software, expected this month. Still, there was a lot to like about the appliance and its software, including a snappy, responsive interface, built-in diagnostics, useful feature guidance and extensive online help (though not context-sensitive).
The XCS 370 runs cool and quiet. At its exhaust port -- its hottest point -- the unit measured 92 degrees; everywhere else it barely broke room temperature. The XCS 370 draws about 55 watts, its always-on fans make barely a whisper, and the unit's bright red cabinet will stand out in data centers that are otherwise cloaked in black. For flat pricing that's not user-based, a solid management interface and active and accurate filtering service, the XCS 370 from WatchGuard is a recommended product.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/...ign-cant-go-onA fundraising solicitation sent by Ron Paul on Wednesday painted a frank picture of the future of his campaign: Donate now, or he may have to call it quits.
Paul has retreated from the public spotlight in recent weeks as Mitt Romney's hold over the Republican presidential nomination has grown tighter and tighter. He has scaled back his campaign-trail appearances and television interviews.
Yet unlike Rick Santorum, who dropped out of the race on Tuesday, Paul has given few previous indications that he may bow out.
"I won't mince words," Paul said in an email to supporters Wednesday evening. "If we don't reach our $2.5 million goal, I am not sure our campaign can go on."
Paul said the goal of the money bomb is to reach $2.5 million by tax day on April 15, as part of his push for "taxpayer freedom." He said that although political elites have declared the race over, he had little intention of acquiescing and hoped to fight on.
"In the coming days, the media will be expecting me to also bow down to their new prince," he wrote. "Well, I want to give them a little surprise. Instead of a defeated candidate bowing out of the race, as we saw yesterday, let's show them a surging candidate determined to ride on to Tampa!"

This looks to be a critical fundraising effort. Last chance to challenge Obamney Sachs.

Vitamins, Coaching, and where the heck have I been?
I realized almost a full month has gone by since my last post! Very crazy time, but glad to be getting back to a regular schedule.
I've been working on a blog about carbohydrates that I keep writing and re-writing. After a month I think it's almost done and will try to get it posted later this week.
I've traded some emails with a few regular Seven Runners customers – and the feedback has been very good and I wanted to get some additional insight as to what their thoughts on the product. The number one reason they use the product is recovery after a long run. The "day after" a long run (in this case 20 miles as part of marathon training) as an entirely different experience – no soreness, muscle pain, ready to run some more! I'm glad that others have had this experience. A close second is the endurance aspect with feeling better overall late in long runs. Not much comment on performance, but had improved their 5k times over last year.
They seem to work best when taken with a meal or with a snack/dinner after a run.
The only criticism was that they wished the pills were capsules instead of formed pills. I also wish we could do something with capsules, but this would require taking EIGHT capsules instead of the current two formed pills. The formed pills can just hold more of the goodness and I think the complaint would become "eight pills is just too many!"
Still working on getting the word out there. If you're reading this and interested in trying Elite Runner's Formula use the coupon code "IFoundMike" for an extra discount.
On a personal level, I'm finally back to putting in some good weekly miles and am back to a building schedule again. I've been running without an watch, music, or even my heart rate monitor (I know, shocking!). Right now, I'm just running for the love of it and getting used to how hot it gets here. I have a couple events coming up and can't wait to just go out an enjoy them.
I wanted to give a shout out to Wilson, someone I'm coaching for his first triathlon. He's a weightlifter and is cranking up his cardio. I know running can be hard when you first get going, but it will get easier! I know the workouts feel difficult, but you're at a level that you can do them and we'll get you ready for the big event!

Eating Raoul [Blu-Ray]
Director : Paul Bartel
Screenplay : Richard Blackburn & Paul Bartle
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1982
Stars : Paul Bartel (Paul Bland), Mary Woronov (Mary Bland), Robert Beltran (Raoul Mendoza), Susan Saiger (Doris the Dominatrix / Nurse Sally Cummings), Richard Paul (Mr. Cray), John Shearin (Mr. Baker), Darcy Pulliam (Nurse Sheila), Ben Haller (Dewey), Buck Henry (Mr. Leech), Beans Morocco (Bobby R.), Allan Rich (Nazi), Ed Begley Jr. (Hippie), John Paragon (Sex Shop Salesman), Don Steele (Howard Swine), Edie McClurg (Susan)
In Paul Bartel's deadpan cult comedy Eating Raoul, he and Mary Woronov, a former member of Warhol's Factory, play Paul and Mary Bland, a perfectly manicured, extremely uptight married couple (their last name is all too descriptive) who dream of opening a country restaurant, but lack the funds to do so. Paul is a fastidious wine salesman who is fired from his job because his snobbish tastes don't fit with the lowbrow clientele, while Mary is a nurse who is constantly being sexually harassed by her patients. The film's central gag is Paul and Mary's uneasy existence in early '80s Los Angeles, which Bartel paints as a seething den of sexual licentiousness; it's not the air pollution that's the problem, but rather the moral pollution, which is most clearly embodied in the caricatured swingers who populate the Blands' apartment building. While the rest of the tenants make out in the hallways and head to various orgies upstairs, the Blands return to their retro apartment (the décor is 1950s, thus matching their attitudes and hang-ups) and retire to separate beds.
Sex may be disgusting to the Blands, but murder is not, which they discover quite by accident when one of the more aggressive swingers in their building tries to force himself on Mary and Paul clunks him on the head with a cast iron frying pan and kills him. When they discover that the man's pockets are filled with cash, they hatch a brilliant scheme: Mary and Paul take out an ad in a Hollywood magazine advertising themselves as "Cruel Carla and Naughty Nancy," which lures all manner of sexual perverts to their apartment who may be similarly dispatched via frying pan, robbed of their cash, and dumped down the apartment building's garbage compactor.
It's an effective scam, one that nets them lots of money and gives Bartel and co-screenwriter Richard Blackburn (best known as the writer/director of the cultish and little-seen 1972 horror fantasy Lemora, A Child's Tale of the Supernatural) an easy opportunity to play up the inherent silliness of sexual fetishism, whether it be a Nazi fantasy involving swastikas and Mary tied up in lederhosen, a man who insists on being treated like a naughty toddler, or an inexplicable mix of marauding pirate and Minnie Mouse. Things get complicated with the involvement of the titular Raoul (Robert Beltran), a con man and thief who stumbles on Paul and Mary's scheme and wants in on the action. They form an uneasy trio, as Paul distrusts Raoul and his intentions (not to mention questions where he is taking the victims' bodies after assuring them that he can make hundreds of dollars from each one) and Raoul sets his sights on Mary, who is all the more desirable because her obvious sexual allure contrasts so sharply with her prudish demeanor.
A long-time cult favorite that achieved surprising press and attention at film festivals in the early 1980s, thus upending expectations for a movie shot independently with a $500,000 budget completely outside the studio system (Bartel couldn't even get his mentor, Drive-In King Roger Corman, to pony up any funds), Eating Raoul is essentially a raucous idea purposefully tamped down into the realm of the droll and the witty. While it shares many ideas and themes in common with the films of John Waters—the hypocrisy of "polite society," the inanity of the puritanical disgust with sex and acceptance of violence, the absurdity of sexual abandon taken to its logical extremes—Bartel's true influences lie in the realm of European art cinema, particularly the darkest of the Ealing Studio murder comedies such as Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) and The Lady Killers (1955), and the surrealist social satire of Luis Buñuel, particularly The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972). Bartel's thematic aspirations are high, even though his production values are somewhere in line with sitcoms (it was a film destined to play on the small screen).
Bartel initially trained as a playwright but achieved cult notoriety in the 1970s working as an actor, writer, and director for Corman; his biggest achievement was the satirical road-rage thriller Death Race 2000 (1975). He has a deliciously deadpan wit and a subversive sensibility, and Eating Raoul is replete with darkly humorous quips, many of which emerge from the film's sustained tension between what transpires on screen and how the characters react. Both Bartel and Woronov play their characters as insistently above it all, which renders their attitudes toward the messiness of murder and corpse disposal something akin to the annoyance most of us associate with doing the dishes. Raoul introduces the idea of emotion and intensity ("I'm a hot-blooded, emotional, crazy Chicano!" he declares at one point when Mary rebukes his advances), which only emphasizes how strangely repressed the Blands are.
On paper, at least, Eating Raoul is a fantastic satire of the hypocrisies of the upwardly mobile and the moral failures of consumer culture, but in practice it doesn't quite work. Part of the problem is purely aesthetic in that Bartel is fundamentally disinterested in staging and camerawork; his attention clearly lies in the performances and the ideas, and it is almost as if he is afraid that any sense of style might distract us. Granted, the film was a low-budget independent effort shot in starts and stops over a lengthy period of time, but so was David Lynch's Eraserhead (1977). And, while John Waters' early films are just as aesthetically deprived, they generate energy through the outlandishness of the characters and what can only be termed their visual atrocities. Despite the consistency of Eating Raoul's droll take on murder and mayhem, it still feels oddly uneven and skimpy, as if there just isn't quite enough meat on its narrative bones.

As a low-budget independent film shot on scraps of film stock over nearly a year, Eating Raoul is never going to look "great," but Criterion's 1080p high-definition transfer on this Blu-Ray has it looking about as good as it ever will. The film was transferred in 2K from the original camera negative under the supervision of cinematographer Gary Thieltges and digitally cleaned up. Colors are sharp and consistent, and detail is quite good throughout, with just a hint of film grain. The film has a fairly bland, flat look to it, which the transfer ably represents. The original monaural soundtrack, also digitally restored, was remastered from the original 35mm magnetic tracks and sounds clean and clear in its Linear PCM presentation, albeit understandably limited in terms of scope and depth. | |
Sadly, Paul Bartel passed away in 2000, but Criterion has successfully rounded up a number of the film's other participants to contribute to the supplements. On the audio commentary we get screenwriter Richard Blackburn, production designer Robert Schulenberg, and editor Alan Toomayan talking about the film's genesis and production, while the new 26-minute retrospective featurette "Cooking Up Raoul" features interviews with stars Mary Woronov, Robert Beltran, and Edie McClurg. Bartel does appear in a four-minute gag reel of outtakes Toomayan assembled for his birthday, as well as a 21-minute archival interview with Woronov that was conducted during the film's initial theatrical release. And, most importantly, the disc includes two of Bartel's early short films: The Secret Cinema (1966), which he remade 20 years later as an episode of Steven Spielberg's TV series Amazing Stories, and Naughty Nurse (1969). |

I'm trying to come up with a rough formula to help decide if I should join a startup. I'd like to weigh my current pay vs joining a startup, taking into account opportunity costs and possible final payout, all weighed against the inherent risk of joining a startup. Here's what I'm thinking ATM:
curr(time) = time * CurrentPay
Startup(time) = time * (BaseSalary - OpportunityCost)
Investment(time) = curr(time) - startup(time) (e.g. the amount of pay cut you took)
Payout = (net?)SellPrice * EquityShare
TimeToSell := how long you were at the startup before it sold <= BreakEvenTime = curr - (startup + Payout)
SuccessProbability := odds that a company will be sold for the assumed price
Roi(time) = Equity - investment(time) / investment(time)
MakeMeMove(Investment, Payout, TimeToSell, SuccessProbability) = ???? = do it!/don't do it!
That last part is where I'm stuck... How do I turn Roi/risk into a "make me move" number? Given a statement such as "If the payout is a cool million then I'm willing to take a chance on a company that has a one in ten chance of succeeding.", what formula could I use to evaluate an offer?
Completely arbitrary Example:
Person joins company with 50% chance of selling for $10M in the next two years. Person gives up a job making $100k to make a base salary of $80K plus 1% equity. Given an equivalent amount of work, this person could make an additional $10K/yr in side work had they stayed at their old job. Company beats the odds and successfully sells for $10M after two years...
Curr = $200k
Startup = $140k (salary - opportunity cost)
Investment = $60k (curr - startup
Equity = $100k
Roi = 67% on an investment that had a 50% of returning nothing
Other Questions
- How much equity share is typical for a: founding engineer (at a software company)? A non founding engineer(e.g. Brought in, say 2 years later). Vague question I know, just looking for some general guidelines...
- What is the avg time taken to sell a startup? (again, looking for hard and fast guidelines)
- If the company does sell, is your equity payout based on the sale amount or net profit? Other mitigating factors?
- How is the payout taxed? Cap gains? Income tax?
- Are there any tax benefits/liabilities to being an equity holder?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Edited title to highlight the financial focus of the question.

Emma Miller wasnt about to wait to see the world.
Over the past four years, she has been to Switzerland, South Korea, Mexico, England, France and Italy, along with stops in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston and Skagway, Alaska.
In April, shes off to Costa Rica and an environmental conference in California.
The surprise, for people who havent gotten past reading travel brochures, is that Emma is just 16, a junior at Puyallup High School.
Her upcoming Costa Rica trip is part of an Education First Global Citizen Scholarship awarded to 20 students 10 from Canada, 10 from the U.S. Emma had been trying to win it for three years.
The first time I was so bummed I didnt win I was determined to win it the next year, Emma said. The second year I didnt even get to the interview stage.
This year, my application morphed into a creative video. My brother, Aidan, filmed it, I directed it. I was in part of it and did the voice-over for the three-minute video. I talked about the state of the world and how we can change.
We filmed it in one day. The voice-over took one afternoon and evening. I practiced and practiced to get it into three minutes. After I submitted it, I realized how perfect a fit this trip was for me and I geared up for not getting it.
The scholarships were announced last month. Students are expected to use the trip to grow in their awareness of environmental sustainability, then return home and apply what they learned.
Packing wont be an issue. Emma has experience, as do her parents, Brent and Natalie Miller, and her brother.
I was an exchange student to Switzerland in high school, said Brent Miller, an Aylen Junior High School history teacher. In 2009, we were able to take the family to Switzerland and stay with the family Id originally stayed with. It was a great way to ease the kids into travel.
Brent Miller has led groups on Education First tours, and the family has come along when possible. What hes seen come alive in Emma delights him.
Its great to see light bulbs go on, the passion ignited, in any student but its even better when its your own child, he said. For Emma, its been like that. She wants to effect change in the world, be part of that change.
Her interest in conservation and the environment dates back to when she was a 5-year-old girl attending a Christian camp on the Key Peninsula.
It had a compost bin, and we learned how to use it, Emma said. My mom has always been into organic food. Ive tried to use resources wisely with my art, to be more green, create beautiful and harmless art. I shop at thrift stores for my clothes.
Travel has opened a window on the world opened it wider than for most students her age.
Our family has gone to La Paz, Mexico on the Baja peninsula a few times. Its a big, working city, not a tourist city, and you get a good look at the culture and daily life of people there.
There have been trips marked by luck: She was in London just before last summers Olympics, and in Paris the day the Tour de France riders finished the race.
There have been personal moments, too, such as during a trip to Italy in October.
One night in Rome, a few of us walked through a small neighborhood, found a used bookstore that had floor-to-ceiling books, old maps and postcards, she said. Some of those maps are now on the walls in my bedroom.
At 16, Emma exemplifies how people can never be too young to have their horizons expanded. Her dad encourages families to look at organizations such as Education First and Smithsonian Student Travel.
Id hope reading about Emma would inspire kids to search out travel opportunities, Brent Miller said. Emmas advice?
Always keep an eye out for scholarship opportunities from travel companies, she said. Work hard and save up if travel is important to you, that way you can do it on your own account.

Every morning, Brittany Geldert stepped off the bus and bolted through the double doors of Fred Moore Middle School, her nerves already on high alert, bracing for the inevitable.
Pretending not to hear, Brittany would walk briskly to her locker, past the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders who loitered in menacing packs.
Like many 13-year-olds, Brittany knew seventh grade was a living hell. But what she didn't know was that she was caught in the crossfire of a culture war being waged by local evangelicals inspired by their high-profile congressional representative Michele Bachmann, who graduated from Anoka High School and, until recently, was a member of one of the most conservative churches in the area. When Christian activists who considered gays an abomination forced a measure through the school board forbidding the discussion of homosexuality in the district's public schools, kids like Brittany were unknowingly thrust into the heart of a clash that was about to become intertwined with tragedy.
By age 13, she'd been taunted as a "cunt" and "cock muncher" long before such words had made much sense. When she told administrators about the abuse, they were strangely unresponsive, even though bullying was a subject often discussed in school-board meetings.The district maintained a comprehensive five-page anti-bullying policy, and held diversity trainings on racial and gender sensitivity. Yet when it came to Brittany's harassment, school officials usually told her to ignore it, always glossing over the sexually charged insults. Like the time Brittany had complained about being called a "fat dyke": The school's principal, looking pained, had suggested Brittany prepare herself for the next round of teasing with snappy comebacks – "I can lose the weight, but you're stuck with your ugly face" – never acknowledging she had been called a "dyke." As though that part was OK. As though the fact that Brittany was bisexual made her fair game... [sic] All Brittany knew was that she was on her own, vulnerable and ashamed, and needed to find her best friend, Samantha, fast."Did you hear Sam said she's going to kill herself?"
Brittany considered the question. No way. How many times had she seen Sam roll her eyes and announce, "Ugh, I'm gonna kill myself" over some insignificant thing? "Don't worry, you'll see Sam tomorrow," Brittany reassured her friend as they got off the bus. But as she trudged toward her house, she couldn't stop turning it over in her mind. A boy in the district had already committed suicide just days into the school year – TJ Hayes, a 16-year-old at Blaine High School – so she knew such things were possible. But Sam Johnson? Brittany tried to keep the thought at bay. Finally, she confided in her mother.
"This isn't something you kid about, Brittany," her mom scolded, snatching the kitchen cordless and taking it down the hall to call the Johnsons. A minute later she returned, her face a mask of shock and terror. "Honey, I'm so sorry. We're too late," she said tonelessly as Brittany's knees buckled; 13-year-old Sam had climbed into the bathtub after school and shot herself in the mouth with her own hunting rifle. No one at school had seen her suicide coming.
No one saw the rest of them coming, either.
Sam's death lit the fuse of a suicide epidemic that would take the lives of nine local students in under two years, a rate so high that child psychologist DanReidenberg, executive director of the Minnesota-based Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, declared the Anoka-Hennepin school district the site of a "suicide cluster," adding that the crisis might hold an element of contagion; suicidal thoughts had become catchy, like a lethal virus.
These are only quotes, short snippets from the first page, with nearly 4 more to go.
I'm not really looking for a discussion, I'm not going to debate here, or try to convince of right or wrong. I'm not going to argue or fight. I just want you to be aware what the evangelical right, those smarmy christian republicans (the ones you will say aren't "real" christians,) are getting away with during all of this. I want to incense you to try and better yourself and make a change. I won't look back at this after I post it. I just hope you guys keep it on the top of this page so that you can share it with others.

Isla Vista Foot Patrol arrested a suspected burglar early Sunday morning.
At around 1:15 am, residents in the 6500 block of Del Playa Drive contacted the Isla Vista Foot Patrol. They told officers that they saw someone in their home stealing property.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Deputies and University of California Police Department Officers responded. When they arrived at the scene, they found a person leaving the area who matched the description of their suspect. He was later identified as 18-year-old Oliver Lim, a Santa Barbara City College student. According to police, he fled from officers and deputies, and a short foot pursuit ensued. He was quickly caught and detained.
Officers say they then found stolen property from the residence that reported the burglary. Lim was also in possession of property from several unreported vehicle burglaries in the area, including a GPS unit, Samsung TV monitor, credit cards, electronic devices, cell phones, money, prescription medication, and checks.
Lim was booked in the Santa Barbara County Jail for residential burglary, possession of stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, petty theft, and resisting arrest. His bail is set at $50,000.
