Made over the course of fifteen years, the film explores the connection between life and art through the eyes of seminal British artist, Ralph Steadman. Insightful, humorous, and visually stunning, this is a study in honesty, friendship and the ambition that drives an artist.
Director Charles Paul meticulously amassed the footage and created the remarkable animations for the film to match the same anarchic energy, anger and free spirit of Steadman's pictures. Through Johnny Depp's lead in this intimate portrait, we are able to reach to the heart of what makes this artist tick, his friendships and fallings out, his love for art and his passion for civil liberties.

Wizard of Oz is a 1925 American silent film directed by Larry Semon, who also appears in a lead role—that of a farmhand disguised as a Scarecrow. The only completed 1920s adaptation of L. Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, this film features a young Oliver Hardy (the American comic actor who would later become famous as one half of Laurel and Hardy), (as the Tin Woodman.)

This place was pretty nice when we moved in 2 years ago, but its gotten worse. There is not enough parking spots for the number of apartments. Our wiring is deadly! I had an electrical outlet catch fire with nothing plugged into it, and when you plug anything in the prongs won't stay in. Sigh. And the rent is way too high for what you get. Staff is nice though, they are trying.

SFS: Dada's Girl
Sabriel Family Story: Dada's Girl
"Dear, you need to be gentle, your grandfather is—"
Shadow flailed wildly in the nurse's arms, trying furiously to reach Sam. "HE NAOT MAI G'AMPPA, HE MAI DADA!" she yowled.
Gabriel sighed and took Shadow from the well-meaning—but clueless—nurse as Sam laughed, the sound wheezing in his old lungs. "Thank you. I've got her." She smiled and took the hint, closing the hospital door behind her.
He sighed and settled gently on the bed beside his mate, now wrinkled with age. "I wish you'd let me heal you," he grumbled, keeping Shadow from crawling on her stepfather's chest as she'd spent the last half century doing.
Sam smiled, eyes closed. "No…" he sighed, his hand patting the archangel's. "You know I never wanted to outlive my brother long. Besides, you promised that we'd see each other again."
Gabriel scowled, giving up as Shadow wormed her way under Sam's arm, curling there like a stubborn kitten. "Mai dada," she sulked, noticing Gabriel watching her.
The corners of Sam's lips curved upward. "You're a good girl, Shadow. A good…"
He sighed, once, and the heart monitor stuttered into one long beep.
Shadow flinched against Sam's body and hissed at the noise, clinging to him as nurses, alerted by the sound, began to fill the room. Words like "heart failure" and "resuscitate" swam around her, and she hissed and kicked as someone lifted her from the cooling body to let the doctors through. "Yoo naot take mai dada!" she wailed, running away and disappearing into the blur of people.
"DAAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAA!" the toddler cried, tracking his scent until she could run into his arms again.
Sam just laughed and swung his baby girl into the air. "How did I know you'd find me?" he teased, cuddling her.
"Dada Dada yoo mai Dada yoo naot leaves me yoo NAOT I naot let yoo…" Shadow sobbed into his neck, pudgy arms twined around his throat.
Sam just sighed and surveyed the coast he stood on. He remembered this day; their family had trekked out to a lonely shoreline and spent the afternoon splashing in the waves. They'd waited until Dean and Cas had taken the kids around the beachhead, and then Gabe—
He smiled at the sound of wings behind him. "I thought she'd find you, smart little rascal."
Sam pulled his archangel in for a kiss, grinning when it made his heart pound rather than seize with age. "So this is heaven," he sighed.
Gabriel grinned, whistling as he took in the scenery. "You have excellent taste," he purred, eyes fastening back on Sam's bare muscles.
The hunter smiled wistfully, confessing "I almost can't believe I made it."
His mate just snorted and pulled him closer. "Oh please. Like I'd let you go anywhere else."

should assess from multiple perspectives the progress in the critical interplay between fusion science and engineering in light of the evolving technological, economic, and social contexts for fusion energy.
Consonant with its charge, the committee has not taken up the many critical-path issues associated with basic technology development for fusion, nor has it looked at the engineering of fusion energy devices and power plants, yet it is the combined progress made in science and engineering that will determine the pace of advancement toward the energy goal. Moreover, since much of fusion science research is undertaken in the expectation that it will contribute to the energy goal, regular, formal assessment of the progress towards fusion energy is one important way in which a fusion science program can be made accountable.
The report is organized into an overview chapter and three working group chapters: "Scientific Progress and the Development of Predictive Capability," "Plasma Confinement Configurations," and "Interactions of the Fusion Program with Allied Areas of Science and Technology."
Chapter 1 summarizes the general findings of the committee that came out of the three working group chapters and committee deliberations. It also refers to other reviews of the program since 1996, touches on the recent history of the tokamak experimental effort, and mentions briefly international efforts to build a fusion reactor, the International Toroidal Experimental Reactor (ITER).
The first priority of the committee was an evaluation of the science being carried out by the DOE's OFES program. Chapter 2 of the report examines the science being done in the program, both in areas where there is state-of-the-art understanding and in areas where further work is needed to achieve the predictive capability that will facilitate the design of the optimum magnetic container for holding hot fusion-grade plasmas. Chapter 2 is the longest chapter of the report since the committee felt an in-depth elucidation of the physics was essential to a proper evaluation. Readers who want only a summary of the scientific progress may read the summary section of the chapter.
In Chapter 3 of the report the various classes of magnetic container or confinement configuration are discussed. The discussion of the devices is organized around four scientific topics to illustrate the commonality of the physics issues being explored in each class of container. This commonality is too often lost when the devices are discussed separately. Enabling technologies and metrics are also discussed. Appendix C presents paragraph-long descriptions of each of the major confinement concepts.
Chapter 4 addresses the interaction between the field of fusion and plasma science and the larger science, engineering, and technology community. Discussed are the deep physics questions that have been addressed by the program, including the generic science results that have impacted other areas of physics, some of the key contributions of U.S. scientists to the international effort, potentially important areas of future interdisciplinary research, leadership in the support of research areas, and recognition for scientific accomplishments.
In addition to Appendix A , Appendix B through Appendic C , which were mentioned above, Appendix D is a glossary of technical terms and Appendix E lists acronyms and abbreviations.

Boston Luxury Chocolate Salon Tasting
>> Friday, July 30, 2010
Trying to avoid refined sugars? Ha! Forget it!
I had the pleasure of being one of the judges for the 1st Annual Boston Luxury Chocolate Salon. Judges were sent a huge package filled with various artisanal chocolates from chocolatiers all around the US. We then judged on various aspects such as best flavor, most luxurious, most delicious ingredient combinations, and so on.
I was amazed at the level of artistry that went into some of these chocolates, such as the beautiful gems you see pictured above by William Dean Chocolate.
I know you can't lick the screen, but I can at least give you a visual tour, and maybe a few descriptions of what we thought of these chocolates. :)

Indian Golf Players in the recent years have brought laurels to our country by winning some of the major international golf titles. There are some great names from India who have played the game and currently there are some fresh talents that are coming through the ranks who have the potential to make India shine at the global arena.
More on Indian Golf Players (2 Articles)
Jeev Milkha Singh
Arjun Atwal
Golf, being one of the oldest sports in India, has passed a long way so far. The game of Golf was incepted in India during the first half of the nineteenth century and it got its first organisation in the name of the Royal Calcutta Golf Club (RCGC) in 1829. Since then, India has produced numerous talented and top class Golfers, who have shown great performances in the international arena. The Indian Golf players have been on the top of the Asian Order of Merit and also in the World ranking in several occasions.
The Indian Golf players are nurtured and trained in numerous Golf clubs situated all over India and they clubs provide them with all kinds of necessary facilities. As, the Golf accessories are still not that much available in India, the clubs sometimes lack in this section. In most of the clubs, the Golfers are requested to bring their own Golf accessories to play. The Indian Golf players also take part in several Golf tournaments both in India and outside. They take part in the Asian PGA Tour events and also in the European PGA Tour events. Some of them have made it really big and have brought laurels for their country.
Some of the Indian Golf players have earned a lot of recognition and reputation worldwide and have also won several trophies in various prestigious tournaments. Among all the Indian Golf players, some of the most important are
Jeev Milkha Singh
Arjun Atwal
, Shiv Chowrasia, Gaurav Ghei, Shiv Kapur, Laxman Singh, Smriti Mehra, Jyoti Randhawa, Ali Sher, P. G. Sethi, etc. Ali Sher was the first Indian Golfer to shine in the international events. He gave a stunning performance and won the Indian Open in 1991 and that paved the way for the other Indian Golf players to become a force to reckon with in the Asian golf circuit. Both in the past as well as in the present the Indian Golfers have been doing incredibly well in the international circuit and have won many PGA tournaments as well. In Asia, Indian golfers are the best.
After Ali Sher, another legendary Indian Golfer, Jeev Milkha Singh made his presence felt, when the Asian PGA Tour was launched in 1995. He, along with Gaurav Ghei, made an instant impact by putting up some fine performances in various tournaments. Jeev was remarkably consistent to perform well in the Golf tournaments and his consistency earned him the third position in the Asian Order of Merit. On the other hand, Ghei played extraordinarily and clinched one of the four majors on the Asian PGA Tour, the US $500,000 Gadgil Western Masters. Jeev continued playing wonderfully and later, he became the first Indian to qualify for the top-grade European PGA Tour.
Apart from Ali Sher, Jeev Milkha Singh or Gaurav Ghei, the other Indian Golf players like Arjun Atwal has also gained entry into the EPGA, in the recent years. He also raised the bar by becoming the first Indian to win a European Tour Order of Merit event. The other Indian Golfers like Jyoti Randhawa, Shiv Kapur etc have also been playing extremely well for the past few years.
In fact, the Indian golfers have swept virtually every reputed tournament played in the Indian soil, since 1998 and it is definitely a feat that underscores the depth of talent in the country.

True. Bet you it's a short list, though.

When I try scanning an Hamachi client's 126.96.36.199/8 IP address, nmap
states "doArp can only handle IPv4 addresses" and aborts. I know
this is because Hamachi's assignment of 126.96.36.199/8 IP addresses is
unofficial, but it would be nice if the valid IPv4 address check
could be disabled so Hamachi clients and other hosts with
unofficially-assigned IP addresses could still be scanned.
I searched for a solution/workaround but only found discussions
about Hamachi's unofficial IP address assignments, not any way to
scan Hamachi clients.
I do not think these details matter in this case, but I am currently
using nmap v5.50 on Windows 7 Professional IA-32.
There must be something else going wrong, because I can ARP scan
188.8.131.52/8 with
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 220.127.116.11 netmask 255.0.0.0
nmap -PR 184.108.40.206/8 --packet-trace
Windows might be an issue. I'm not familiar with Hamachi, but if it
creates a pseudo-interface, it probably won't work on Windows. (Because
Windows lacks support for raw sockets, we can only do raw scans on
Ethernet devices.) However, if that's the case, then the error message
is misleading.
Please send the output of "nmap --iflist".
As a workaround you can try using the --unprivileged option to use plain
TCP connect scan.

UK Unveils Tough Offshore Helicopter Restrictions
The UK CAA unveiled a series of stringent measures today as a result of a review it launched last September to improve the safety of helicopter operations in the North Sea. These changes are expected to improve survivability after a ditching.
Effective June 1, operators will be allowed to carry passengers only in those seats that are next to emergency exit windows. Other seats can be used if "helicopters are fitted with extra flotation devices or passengers are provided with better emergency breathing systems," the CAA said.
Moreover, flights in the most severe sea conditions (above sea state 6) will be prohibited from June 1, so capsizing is less likely. The CAA is expecting helicopter operators to make improvements to helicopters and survival equipment, including fitting automatic flotation equipment, adding hand holds next to push-out windows and improving life rafts and lifejackets.
Meanwhile, the Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organization is expected to improve survival training for offshore workers. The CAA has also announced "important changes to the way pilots are trained."

So, it's been a while… I wrote this like two years ago for another blog. I forgot it even existed.
One. I can't find the glue. Something about this feels like I need glue. Two. There's a raindrop on my cheek but the sky is clear. Three. I am airwaves, crackling and breaking into pieces. Four. The sun looks red today. Five. My lips are open but I can't find the words. Six. You're saying my name. Seven. I am the rag doll at your feet. Eight. I reach for you, and you pull me apart. Nine. I try to breathe. Ten. I'm drowning. Nine. I close my eyes. Eight. I crawl away from the pieces in your hands. Seven. The air is still but the birds are singing. Six. You're saying my name. Five. I have no words. Four. The whole world looks red. Three. I am glass, shattered. Two. There's a whole ocean. One. Say you can smooth these edges. Throw glue at me and hope for the best. Maybe the cracks won't show. Maybe the pieces won't show. Maybe.
One. The bread in your hand. Two. The berries on mine. Three. Breathe. Two. Breathe. One.
It is just before dawn. The sky's trying to turn blue but the night won't let it, not yet. Just a little longer, I tell myself, just until the sun rises. I turn my face to the sky, as I have been doing every morning for the last eighteen days. District 13 is a bleak place, but every night when I wake before the dawn I come outside and stare at the fading stars and the growing light and I let the silence swallow me whole. It's easier here, in the not-quite-night and the not-quite-day, to let the silence press down on me and forget.
Here, amid the unbrokenness of a day that hasn't yet begun, my memories blur around the edges. The ruins of District 12, the echoes of my father's songs, the blank look in my mother's eyes - they slide over each other, the colours mixing and the sounds going fuzzy and the moments becoming hazy.
The pain, though, remains as sharp as ever.
The night finally gives up and the milky orange-white of the sun claws over the horizon. The silence fades, the noise grows, the day starts. I look down, back at District 13, and begin my walk back to the compound.
A small part of my mind chastises me for not returning sooner, because now people will be awake and questions will doubtless be asked, but the rest of me is too weary to care.
I tried forgetting, I remind myself, but the peace never lasts long enough.
There's sparrow blood on my hands. Just a trickle, from the eye. It's staring at me blankly, huge glassy eyes like broken moons. I should be used to it by now – after all, I've been hunting longer than I can remember - yet I still shiver every time I pick up a kill.
I hand the bird to a Seam vendor, wiping the blood on my shirt. He hands me a coin in return. I half-smile, grateful to be rid of the sparrow's eyes, and I try to ignore the faint scarlet stain on my palms.
When I was younger and less afraid, I would walk to the woods with Gale and laugh at the birds. We'd watch them dancing above us, and we'd smile at each other and say how much we wanted to become a bird and fly far away from District 12.
And then I grew up, and I started shooting arrows, and the birds stopped flying.
I look down at my own palms, rubbing at the dried blood on my knuckles. I know my hunting is essential, that I keep more people than just myself and Prim alive, but I can't stop myself from wondering how different I am to the Capitol. And how different I am to my kills.
We are sparrows to them, I think to myself softly. And there's an arrow for each of us.
Dear Peeta,
Today is a Tuesday. I'm so tired. I'm tired of being strong, I'm tired of carrying on, I'm tired of being so alone.
Do you remember telling me about your nightmares, Peeta? About being paralysed and about waking up and realising I'm still there? Well, I'm here, Peeta, but I need you here too. I need you to keep the nightmares away. I can feel them taking away little parts of my resolve, silly little things like double-knotted laces or the way you'd hold a paintbrush or the touch of grey in your eyes.
I'm losing you, Peeta, and I'm terrified.
This is my seventeenth letter to you. I'm not writing it down, of course, because paper is scarce and I'm not allowed to show how broken I am. Apparently Mockingjays don't cry. Did you know that, Peeta? Mockingjays cannot cry. It's something about the genetic mutations that created them.
We are all fine here, in District 13. Take that word how you will, Peeta. Fine. I can't remember what's it's like to be fine. It's become a synonym for existing.
I have so much I want to tell you. I want to tell you how much I miss you and how much I need you and how much I love you but I can't. I can't put those words on paper, even though the paper is only in my mind and I know you'll never read it. But I need you to know that I want to, so badly.
Come home, Peeta. Please.
The end of Haymitch's arena tape flickers and cracks across the screen. It looks like something's trying to rip his face apart. Next to me, the real Haymitch is staring blankly at his younger self, cradling an empty whisky bottle. There's a smashed glass on the floor. I didn't even hear him break it.
"Haymitch?" My voice breaks over his name. His jaw tightens. I feel like I should be doing something, like I should be saying something meaningful or reassuring or comforting. Or lie, at least.
He picks up a piece of the whisky glass and closes his fingers over it.
"I'm still scared," he whispers. It's such a humble admission that it takes me a while to accept it was him who said it.
For the first time since putting on the tape, he looks me in the eye. And it's young Haymitch all over again. The confusion, the terror, the victory he doesn't want.
"It should hurt," he says blankly, moving his hand towards me. His open palm is stained with blood. "But it doesn't," he finishes.
I can feel my lips try to move but words feel clunky in my mouth. How do I comfort a killer? How do I tell him he couldn't have done anything else, when I don't even believe it myself?
Next to us, the tape splutters and a younger, grainier Ceasar Flickerman stares out at us. "Congratultions, Haymitch, congratulations! How does it feel being the victor of the Second Quarter Quell? Quite a tough match!" Young Haymitch laughs and plays along and smiles for his Sponsors.
But in front of me, years later, he's stopped smiling.
"Forty-seven," he murmurs. I can do nothing but hold his gaze. "I hear them, every night. Forty-seven cannon blasts."
I can feel tears in my eyes. Haymitch's are dry. He's gotten used to hiding that pain.
"It's the most horrible sound, Katniss." His voice has gone hollow. "Forty-seven people dead and they turn it into a victory march. They turn it into music."
Peeta is picking apart a bread roll. His fingers pull at the dough absently, his eyes somewhere far away. He's trying to coax a scent out of the roll, some faint trace of wheat or warm dough, but it's too Capitol. It isn't District 12 bread. It isn't the Seam. It isn't home. He throws the rest onto his plate in frustration and puts a hand to his head. I catch his eye. He holds my gaze, for just a moment, and I wish I could smile at him. But, of course, I don't.
I switch my gaze to the tattered roll on his plate. It brings a strange lump to my throat. Home, I think to myself. He wants to go home. Tentatively, I look up at him again. He hasn't moved. I can feel the corner of my lips raise slightly. It feels like nothing. It feels weak. Insignificant. But he smiles back.
I press my fingertips to the wooden armrest of my chair, imagining I'm feeling the arms of my bow.
Me too, I think to Peeta. It would be too much to say the words out loud. Me too.

TIME ALLOTMENT: Three to four 45-minute class periods, with additional time for homework
OVERVIEW: Grizzly bears were once scarce in Yellowstone National Park and on their way to extinction. Now, however, America's greatest predator is making a comeback. The story of the grizzly's return is one of the biggest successes in conservation history. The restored presence of the bears has brought visitors and revenue to the park, but it has also brought frustration and destruction to local ranchers, homeowners, and tourists living and working nearby.
Using the NATURE episode "The Good, The Bad and the Grizzly," students will discover how human beings have both saved and harmed a species. Students will investigate how human beings have interacted with and impacted the lives of grizzly bears, sometimes deliberately and sometimes inadvertently. Students will be able to articulate the complex and competing perspectives on how to best handle the burgeoning bear population, and describe the multiple factors contributing to the destabilization of the bear's Yellowstone ecosystem.
The lesson will begin with students participating in an introductory activity, in which they will challenge their notions of what is "good," "bad," "true," and "false" about grizzly bears and animal conservation efforts. Following the activity, students will research the habits and habitats of grizzly bears. Then, utilizing segments from the NATURE episode, students will explore the complex relationships between humans and grizzlies in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Students will then play and refine a classroom-based simulation game illustrating the challenges and obstacles to grizzly life in the national park and the surrounding area. As a culminating activity, students will write a letter to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, either asking for special protection for the Yellowstone grizzly population, or endorsing the bear's de-listing from the Endangered Species Act.
SUBJECT MATTER: Living Environment/Biology
Students will be able to:
- Describe intentional and inadvertent impacts human beings have had on the grizzly bear population in the Yellowstone ecosystem;
- Articulate how the relationship between humans and grizzlies has changed over time;
- Evaluate the complex contemporary relationship between humans and grizzlies, as well as the challenging aspects of wildlife protection programs;
- Identify the grizzly bear's critical food sources in the Yellowstone ecosystem, and the threats posed to these food sources;
- Describe the challenges and obstacles faced by bears in the Yellowstone ecosystem, and refine a simulation game with their knowledge;
- Make an informed decision about whether or not to support the de-listing of grizzly bears from the Endangered Species Act.
National Science Standards for Science Content
CONTENT STANDARDS C; Life Science
As a result of activities in grades 9-12, students should develop understandings of:
- Interdependence of Organisms
- Human beings live within the world's ecosystems. Increasingly, humans modify ecosystems as a result of population growth, technology, and consumption. Human destruction of habitats through direct harvesting, pollution, atmospheric changes, and other factors is threatening current global stability, and if not addressed, ecosystems will be irreversibly affected.
New York State Regents Core Curriculum Alignments
Living Environment Core Curriculum
Standard 4. Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles and theories pertaining to the physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science. This change over time is well-documented by extensive evidence from a wide variety of sources.
Key Idea 1: Living Things are both similar to and different from each other and from non-living things.
Performance Indicators
1.1 Explain how diversity of populations within ecosystems relates to the stability of ecosystems.
1.1a Populations can be categorized by the function they serve. Food webs identify the relationships among producers, consumers, and decomposer carting out either autotrophic or heterotrophic nutrition.
1.1c In all environments, organisms compete for vital resources. The linked and changing interactions of populations and the environment compose the total ecosystem.
Key Idea 7: Describe the range of interrelationships of humans with the living and non-living environment
7.1c Human beings are part of the Earth's ecosystems. Human activities can, deliberately or inadvertently alter the equilibrium in ecosystems. Humans modify ecosystems as a result of population growth, consumption and technology. Human destruction of habitats through direct harvesting, pollution, atmospheric changes, and other factors is threatening current global stability, and if not addressed, ecosystems may be irreversibly affected.
7.2a Human activities that degrade ecosystems result in a loss of diversity of the living and non-living environment. For example, the influence of humans on other organisms occurs through land use and pollution. Land use decreases the space and resources available to other species, and pollution changes the chemical composition of air, soil and water.
NATURE, The Good, The Bad and the Grizzly, selected clips:
Clip 1, "Bears' Lunch Counter"
This segment explores how the relationship between humans and grizzly bears has changed over the course of American History, and describes the closing of the Yellowstone garbage dumps in the 1970s.
Clip 2, "This Is Their Land"
This segment examines how the human/grizzly relationship has changed since the closing of the Yellowstone dumps, and the challenges posed to both humans and bears.
Clip 3, "Bears Don't Recognize Boundaries"
This segment focuses on the problems bears are creating on ranch land surrounding Yellowstone National Park.
Clip 4, "Bears in the Schoolyard"
This segment focuses on the precautions humans must take in the face of a growing grizzly bear population.
Clip 5, "Bear Necessities"
This segment focuses on the four foods most important to grizzly survival, and the threats to each of them.
Clip 6, "To List or Not To List"
This segment focuses on the ongoing debate regarding whether or not grizzlies need special protection for their population.

Accommodation can't be considered as ideally perfect unless it is equipped with excellent features, facilities and amenities. However, one won't be able to get everything with accordance to his likings and requirements unless he is going to get assistance from real estate consultancy service providers. It'd be better for an individual to search for the finest accommodation. Apartments are considered to be the best for living purposes in Asheville. Asheville Apartments are well known for their elegance, versatility and uniqueness. Similarly, they're also known for their luxurious amenities and features.

We are halfway through the preseason, with a lot of questions left to answer before the season begins. So, what should we do to pass the time? Predict what the roster is going to look like. If you missed it yesterday, here is my stab at the offensive side of the football.
Here is my attempt at the defense and special teams:
Muhammad Wilkerson
Quinton Coples
Sheldon Richardson
Kenrick Ellis
Antonio Garay
Leger Douzable
Damon Harrison
There were no real surprises here. We have Wilkerson and Co., the core four, and two veterans in Garay and Douzable. I listed Coples with this group as this is where the Jets listed Coples.
Demario Davis
David Harris
Ricky Sapp
Garrett McIntyre
Antwan Barnes
Nick Bellore
Danny Lansanah
Troy Davis
Again, not much surprise here. The only one I have is Calvin Pace being left out of this group. Granted, he came back with additional motivation to play well, after being released. However, I believe that in the end, the team will go with youth, and Lansanah has played well.
Antonio Cromartie
Kyle Wilson
Dee Milliner
Dawan Landry
Antonio Allen
Jaiquawn Jarrett
Josh Bush
Ellis Lankster
Darrin Walls
Nick Folk
Robert Malone
Tanner Purdum
As far as the specials teamers go, as much as there is competition at all positions, I think the incumbents will retain their positions.
Let me know what you guys think. Not too bad, right?

Before I get into how wonderful the idea of Beltane is (this being the season of that Pagan holiday) I want to briefly talk about some activity around the Aries Point. There is a pretty big event coming, connected to the Aries Point, which has a way of magnifying the news and making world events seem deeply personal.
First, two paragraphs of technical explanation, easy does it. The Aries Point is the first degree of the sign Aries, which is the first degree of the zodiac. By extension, that includes the first degree of Libra (opposite the first degree of Aries) and then the first degrees of Cancer and Capricorn (the four cardinal signs). The same basic effect happens whenever there is an event early in any of these signs. This is where the Sun is for any equinox or solstice, called the Quarter Days. Holidays — and big events — naturally gather around these points in space-time.
Yet it works one other way — if you divide the distance between the first days of the seasons, you come out in the middle of the fixed signs — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. We also get an Aries Point effect when the Sun crosses the midpoint of any of the fixed signs, or when there is some kind of noteworthy event. When the Sun gets to one of these zones, we get what's called a Cross Quarter Day. These are the Pagan holidays that include Beltane and Samhain (pronounced sah-wen, which is Halloween).

Phnom Penh, Cambodia
In his seminal work The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William Shirer recounts how the struggling Weimar Republic printed its way out of reparation debt from World War I. Out-of-control printing caused the German mark to fall from 75 per dollar in 1921, to more than 4 billion just 3-years later.
Talk about chaos. After a brief period of credit-fueled economic respite, the onset of the global depression in 1929 had people in the streets clamoring for change. Hitler's National Socialism promised the world… and under such economic distress, people believed him.
There are two important lessons here. First is that hyperinflation comes very quickly. Confidence languishes for months, even years… until one day the currency begins to slide, slowly at first, then exponentially.
The second is what followed. Economic disaster begets social unrest, the two are inextricably linked. Populist rebellions and roving gangs became a constant presence in the republic.
It's at this point, when people are really hurting, they're the most impressionable. They're looking for somebody, anybody, to lead them out of the turmoil. What they got was a charismatic leader with a grand plan.
Here in Cambodia, a similar story unfolded in the 1970s.

It is quite sickening to watch the attack on the character of Jenny Kwan, the MLA who along with Joy McPhail stood up as the only opposition to Gordon Campbell and his BC Liberals following the BC NDP wipeout of 2001.
Here is the CBC coverage including video interviews.
I unequivocally and without reservation will support Jenny Kwan and most seriously doubt that she has knowingly benefitted from one dime from the Portland Hotel Society that had employed her ex-husband.
As I had said in response to a Facebook post, it is not in her DNA.

Hitting Walker for the John Doe Investigation and Abuse of Office.
Yesterday, I went to a street fair. A block party fundraiser for the local community radio station. Bands played, much beer was imbibed, and — of course — talk turned to the recall election.
Walker's involved in a John Doe investigation where people around him are dropping like flies. Walker claims he's not the target of the investigation, but he's set up a legal defense fund — something that, by law, someone not under investigation is not allowed to do. In other words, his actions belie his words. I was asked what I thought Tom Barrett should do next and I said compare Walker to Rod Blagojevich — make it a choice between getting rid of Walker now or spending months in a media circus trying to get rid of him later.
So I woke up today, dialed up the superfeed, and saw the video above from the Barret campaign. It wasn't exactly what I'd described — but it was close.
Partial transcript from Talking Points Memo:
"Scott Walker's playing tricks with job numbers — because he didn't like the real ones," the announcer says. "Just like the tricks he's playing with the John Doe scandal.
"Felonies, guilty pleas and over a thousand emails showing taxpayer dollars used for Walker's campaign. If Walker received or sent any of these emails, he's in deep trouble.
"He's hired criminal attorneys. And Walker refuses to tell us what he said to the prosecutors. Doesn't Wisconsin deserve the truth — before the election?"
Scott Walker's already in hot water over illegal campaigning — and here he is again, coordinating the release of better (but highly questionable) job numbers with a big ad buy bragging about those numbers.
This is falling right back to the old habit of dirty campaigning that has him under investigation in the first place.
John Nichols:
In his rush to promote what he thought would be more favorable figures, Walker announced the "revised" numbers in press statements, social media and public appearances — organized and announced by the governor's taxpayer-funded staff. At the same time, his campaign produced slick commercials with the governor announcing the news.
The commercials appeared at the same time as all the official promotion. And they raise a question: Did the governor and his official appointees and aides share the "news" with his campaign before it was announced to the people of Wisconsin?
In other words: Did Walker and his aides blur the lines of official duties and political campaigning?
The governor says "no," just as he says questions about the John Doe inquiry and his criminal-defense fund are "bogus."
Nichols goes on to quote recall group One Wisconsin Now, who worry about "the suspicious timing of a new television ad from Gov. Walker's campaign, containing previously undisclosed information from an administration jobs report, and denials of consultation between the agency producing the report and the governor." If the timing of the job numbers and the ad are what they look like, this may not be so awfully legal.
Is Scott Walker Wisconsin's version of Rod Blagojevich? It's too soon to answer that definitely. But Walker's pattern of abuse of his office stands out — even as he fights off a recall.

Some Florida voters can take their time voting this year. A law that cuts early-voting days to 8 from 12 has been blocked in five counties covered by the Voting Rights Act, the Associated Press reports.
"In sum, Florida is left with nothing to rebut either the testimony of the defendants' witnesses or the common-sense judgment that a dramatic reduction in the form of voting that is disproportionately used by African-Americans would make it materially more difficult for some minority voters to cast a ballot," states the ruling issued by a three-judge panel.
An Ohio law cutting three early voting days is also in court.

Ways to Take Out Computer from Ssvagent.exe Virus
If you run Vista and recently you've permitted the automatic updates of Java, then every time you open a new browser window, you shall be receiving an annoying dialog box, which may comprise of a novel tab or some popup window, informing that unidentified codes want to run and also states that it can't run in cosseted style.
Firstly, we must know what is Ssvagent.exe virus? The Ssvagent. EXE virus is connected with Sun Java setting up file and it referred to Java's revised agent site. Every time you open a web browser, Ssvagent.EXE runs.
In general ssvagent.exe is a secure file and so far it is not identified to be allied with any kind of malware. Nevertheless few adware and spyware or virus may conceal themselves like ssvagent.exe, particularly if they are established in windows system folder:
C:\Windows\ssvagent.exe or c: \windows\system32\ssvagent.exe.
Therefore it becomes a matter of utmost significance to scrutinize the procedure of ssvagent.exe on your system no matter if it is an annoyance. Update your online virus removal tools and execute entire system inspection for substantiation of your system's safety.
It's enough terrible that Sun publicized a software devoid of a digital cross which may verify where it comes from, which is the most primitive safekeeping verification on code for the buyers. It's evenly exasperating that the Sun recommends you to just click 'Allow' every time until the malware is repaired in Java 6 Update 10.
Ssvagent.exe error leads to:
- Unsteadiness in system start-up
- Messed up Task Manager
- Computer freezes endless times
- Computers speed gets sluggish
- Blue screen or system's crash
The reasons of Ssvagent.exe error differs because of diverse circumstances arising in your system. A functioning Ssvagent.exe file could be influenced by spyware, malware or viruses. Unnecessary files of successive application in your system could lead to its non working.

The one-man act known as Jealousy (debut LP Viles out on the Chicago imprint Moniker Records last year) has tapped into an endearing albeit strange sound. His haunting vocals are backed by upbeat Krautrock guitar progressions with echoes a-plenty; these sounds allow for one's mind to wander. Maybe this is the type of music border patrol listens to when driving through the desert at midnight after ingesting substantial portions of peyote. The sounds that pop off of Jealousy's recordings causes the imagination to jump between comforting and terrifying images, much like switching back and forth between an episode of Mister Rogers and a Japanese tentacle-bondage porno. All this to say that Jealousy is much more enjoyable than watching either Mister Rogers or a strange porn flick.
Jealousy co-headlines our party next Saturday with Noveller at 2948 Sixteenth Street THE LAB /// \\

I finally got to try the Ginvera Nutri White Marvel Gel. I've previously reviewed the Green Tea one, which I felt was not that impressive.
Ginvera Nutri White Marvel Gel
Available: Watsons, Guardian
Star Properties: Just 30 gentle rubs
I will cut this short, because basically, the packaging, texture, effect etc are all the same as the Green Tea one.
The only difference is that the Nutri White does not smells unpleasant! There is just a mild, almost non-detectable fragrance. =)
Just for completeness, below are the snapshots of me using the Nutri White Marvel Gel on the lower area of my hand. Can see that there is no difference after one use, same as the Green Tea one.
I love this: 4 hearts.
I am all for enzymatic peels/exfoliators, and against scrubs. Peelers are okay, but not scrubs. However, I think the Nuteen Blackhead Away Gel is still the best. And perhaps Cure Aqua. But Cure is really expensive.

Put the Brontosaurus back in the box!
The only thing stranger than a Nicolas Cage character is Nicolas Cage himself, it seems.
This is a man who built a nine-foot pyramid in a New Orleans cemetery for his eventual death. A man so obsessed with Elvis that he married his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. A man who once claimed to avoid eating animals who had "undignified" sex. A man almost as famous for internet memes as he is for his first career as an actor.
Now, the eccentric star of such recent cinematic classics as Drive Angry and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance appears to have found himself embroiled in a bizarre fossil crime controversy.
Back in 2007, Cage bought the skull of Tyrannosaurus bataar (a close relative of the T rex) at auction, paying a mere $276,000 and apparently outbidding Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Telegraph is now reporting that the skull may have been previously stolen by a fossil smuggler who illegally imported stolen artefacts from Mongolia and China.
In events that could have been lifted from a less exciting National Treasure sequel, the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement division is investigating smuggler Eric Prokopi whose auction house sold several precious fossils, and may yet seize Cage's 67-million-year-old skull.
At this point, nothing surprises us when it comes to Nicolas 'I Should Be Locked Up In A' Cage.

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
The Insurance Council of Australia has updated its preliminary data on claims resulting from bushfires, estimating losses in Tasmania alone at about 49 million Australian dollars.
As of Thursday, an Australian dollar was worth $1.04.
"At present we believe more than 100 properties in Tasmania have been destroyed," ICA CEO Rob Whelan stated in a press release Wednesday.
The preliminary data shows more than 510 claims have been received in Tasmania, an island off the south shore of the continent.
"It is expected that once people start to return to their homes these numbers will rise," Whelan stated.
Last Saturday, ICA formally declared as a catastrophe the Forcett and Dunalley zone of Tasmania.
"Insurers are greatly concerned about fires that continue to affect several regions of Tasmania," Whelan stated at the time. "They are also monitoring conditions in other states, in particular South Australia, Victoria and Queensland, which face extreme bushfire risks."
ICA stated Wednesday its initial estimate for bushfire damage in the mainland state of Victoria, which includes Melbourne, was 9 million Australian dollars.
In New South Wales, there were more than 140 bushfires but as of Tuesday there had been "no significant property loss," ICA stated.
"However, property owners must remain on guard, with the weather bureau expecting hotter conditions to return," ICA stated of New South Wales.
By declaring some areas of Tasmania a catastrophe, ICA says, this means "insurers had established a taskforce to escalate the industry's response."
For example, a community forum, intended to give policyholders the opportunity to speak with insurance experts, is scheduled Jan. 21 at the Dunalley hotel, ICA said.
"It will cover aspects of the recovery process for insured property owners, including claims management, claims assessment and dispute resolution," ICA stated. "The forum will be attended by the ICA, and several insurance companies, plus representatives from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and Legal Aid."
ICA noted that the nation's Bureau of Meteorology warned of "high fuel loads" due to vegetation following two wet years, which is drying due to below-average rain in 2012.
"The bureau said the monsoon, which would provide some relief in the form of cloud and rain over northern Australia, has not yet developed," ICA noted. "As a result the air over the continent has become extremely hot and this is being driven into southern Australia ahead of each cold front as the fronts approach from the southwest. The resulting hot, windy conditions ahead of these cold fronts are contributing to dangerous fire-weather conditions."

As the title suggests, everything on this blog concerns violence against trans women.
The Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project is a trans feminist project addressing issues of systematic, institutional and interpersonal violence and oppression experienced by trans women (those who were coercively assigned male at birth and identify or are identified as women/female) across multiple identities (e.g., race, class, dis/ability, citizen-status, nationality, sexuality, age, HIV status, and form, status, or age of transition, etc.)
Ida Hammer is a writer and social justice communicator. She organizes the Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project. She presents workshops and trainings on cis privilege and being a trans ally. She's also involved in organizing against sexualized violence. She's a proud dyke-identified trans woman and an organizer of the New York City Dyke March.
Two more murdered transwomen: by multiple stabbings in Puerto Rico and by stoning in Brazil: Puerto Rico experienced its 30th anti-LGBTQ homicide in the past ten years when the body of transwoman Malena Suarez was found dead in her home in Carolina with multiple stab wounds in her back. Ten of those murders have been in the last two years, according to a report by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs. On October 19 it was Madona's turn to take a trip to the death zone. Being a well-known and well-liked fixture of Aracaju nightlife was not sufficient to stay the hands of attackers, who pelted her with cobblestones in that capital city of the Brazilian state of Sergipe. Madona, 39, died in a hospital on October 23 from severe head injuries she had received. (TransAction, Daily Kos, Oct. 28, 2012)
Another trans woman murdered in Antalya, Turkey: The murder toll for trans women in Turkey has tragically risen again following the death of Serap Güneşer, 25, last week. Güneşer, a sex worker, was stabbed and had her throat cut in Antalya in the early hours of Wednesday 24 October. She was alive when police arrived but died before she reached hospital. Turkish trans rights activist Kemal Ordek told Gay Star News that some of Güneşer's friends tried to help her by staunching the blood flow, but when the police reached the crime scene they forcibly dispersed them using pepper spray. They also said there was a delay getting her to the hospital. (Anna Leach, Gay Star News, Oct 29, 2012)
Jamaica center will use grant to fight HIV in the transgender community: Although HIV/AIDS rates have generally been on the decline, transgender women of color are still at alarmingly high risk of contracting the disease, although one Jamaica health clinic is hoping a new funding stream will allow it to reduce some of the exposure in the transgender population. The Queens Health Center, at 97-04 Sutphin Blvd., is part of a network of clinics that will receive $1.5 million over the next five years to provide care and evaluation services to the transgender community. (Rich Bockmann, Times Ledger, Oct. 30, 2012)
Trans woman denied entry into Canada: A Riverside, California, woman says Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers pulled her aside and ultimately denied her entry Oct 22 because she is transgender. Domaine Javier says the first officer at Vancouver International Airport gave her a "weirded look" after checking her passport. Border guards accused her of lying, drug smuggling and working illegally, woman alleges. (Natasha Barsotti, Xtra!, Nov. 1, 2012)
Trans woman assaulted in pub: A 46-year-old trans woman has been attacked just minutes after entering a pub in Leicester City Centre. Giovanna Del Nord was punched in the head by a stranger, without warning, as she waited to be served in the Market Tavern, in Hotel Street. Ms Del Nord believes she was targetted because she is trans. (Scott Roberts, Pink News, Nov. 1, 2012)

Oh my god! Someone's just handed me an old laptop: An RM NB400! Just laoded it up & it's a 486 CPU (running on its FAST setting!) with 4Mb RAM. OS is Windows 3.1 and it's got Word 2, Excel 2 & Word 6 along with Taipai for Windows 3.0!!!
The best part is, it's got a CRT output, plus Keyboard & Mouse outputs on PS/2 so I managed to get it hooked up to my 17" monitor. That's the first time I've ever seen Win3.1 on that size of screen. (And it actually looks pretty good too!)

I would like to focus on one of the best defensemen the Jackets ever had and may ever have. Fedor Tyutin.
Who?! May some of you are scratching their heads. But it came to me days ago. Who is the Player that always plays and you almost never see in the game. Honestly, many fans probably wouldn't recognize him outside the rink.
Who is this man giving the Columbus Blue Jackets defense consistency?
Born on July 19th in 1983 in Izhevsk, Russia, it was clear early on what he would do for a living. He would play Russia's number one sport: Hockey.
He started professional hockey in 1998 playing for the second Team of Metallurg Nowokusnezk. He had one point in seven games. After two years at his home club Izhstal Izhevsk, he was ready for his first big club, SKA St. Petersburg.
In his first performance in the highest league in Russia he was able to bring two points and four assists in 34 games. It was enough for the New York Rangers to draft him in the second round of the 2001 Draft in Sunrise Florida (where the draft will be held in 2015!)
His first stop in North America was Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League. After a very impressive season with 19 Goals and 40 assists in 53 games, he returned for two seasons to Russia. After only 20 Games in two years the Rangers gave him a call and he came.
In 43 games for the affiliate Hartford Wolfpack of the AHL he scored 5 goals and 14 points. But he also had the chance to play with the big boys. 25 Games for the Rangers and seven points later he was ready to shine for the season 2004/05.
We all know what happened with that season and a circumstance called the Lockout. That year he returned to St. Petersburg for five goals and three assists.
After losing a complete NHL-season he returned to the New York Rangers. After three solid seasons with 225 games, 13 goals and 46 assists the Rangers had plans to go for Nikolai Zherdev. A very fast forward of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
On July 2nd the Rangers announced that they trade Fedor Tyutin to Columbus to get Nikolai Zherdev and Dan Fritsche. Christian Backman was also involved in this trade.
And here we are after six NHL seasons in Ohio with "Toots". He has played 403 games so far for the Jackets. Call him a veteran but don't make the mistake to call him an Oldie. Night in and out I see a mobile, big defenseman who gives everything for this team.
It´s his smooth and don´t-panic style of play what gives me the pacification. Your defenseman lost the puck and it´s a two on Tyutin-Rush? Stay cool and give the best to avoid a goal against. It´s the calmness I wish many players would have when they face situations like these.
In my opinion, he is the number 1 defenseman on the Columbus Blue Jackets.

"Jared Ellison: DFA Records' Vintage Synth Prodigy"
BY Nick Sylvester on thirteen.org
When I needed new reeds in my Wurlitzer, a friend of mine at DFA recommended I use the label's "guy." ("Having a guy" is, I've found, something producers like to brag about.) Jared Ellison was introduced to me as the "New Gavin," a reference to Gavin Russom, the modular synth wonk who performs as Crystal Ark and tours with LCD Soundsystem. Compared to the wizard-like Russom, with his long hair and beard and deep stare, Ellison is very normal-looking. He is trim, clean-cut, punctual. Clear-frame glasses, Adidas Samba sneakers (I forgot to ask whether these were vintage), and a pointy right ear are the only hints of possible eccentricity. He is 22 years old.
He also hosts Passport on Monday nights at 8 PM on WNYU! As Mr. Sylvester notes, Jared was our station's engineer for a while. He has also spent time toiling away for WNYU converting the reel to reel tapes of awesome old archival footage into MP3s, thus engendering our WNYU Archive Project / Holiday Countdown. What a talented human being, so generous with his talents. We're so proud!
We'll be counting down to New Year's Day by releasing a new performance/interview from our archives every day in December, ending on January 1st. Some of the many artists to look forward to include Swans, Afrika Bambaata, Sonic Youth, The Sugarcubes, Smashing Pumpkins, The Ramones, Misfits, Morrissey, Buzzcocks, and the Meat Puppets, starting today with Reverb Motherfuckers. Many of these haven't seen the light of day in a long, long time, so click the link above and check 'em out!
