There have been no material realization of assets or updates in the status of this file since the interim distribution.
Please visit this page periodically for further updates.
The Monitor has processed the interim distribution and the cheques have been mailed out.
The Monitor confirms that on November 5, 2010, certain assets of Bear Mountain have been transferred into newly created subsidiaries of HSBC Bank Canada according to Section 9.1(c) in the Revised Consolidated Plan of Arrangement (the "Plan"). November 5, 2010 now serves as the Effective Date as defined in the Plan. As such, the Monitor is required to make the Initial Distribution to the General Creditors (i.e. up to $500 per creditor) on or before December 3, 2010.
An application to amend the powers of the CEO is scheduled to heard on Friday, October 29, 2010 at 9:45 am.
Today the British Columbia Supreme Court approved the Plan. More details will be posted as soon as they become available.
Judge Masuhara heard submissions in this matter Wednesday, September 29 and received further written submissions. Judge Masuhara will give his ruling on Monday October 4, 2010 at 1:15 pm at the Vancouver Law Courts.
The Sanction hearing to approve the Plan began today but was adjourned to Monday, October 4, 2010 (time to be determined). The Court ordered the Stay of Proceedings extended until further notice.
A Meeting of General Creditors was held on September 21, 2010 in Victoria, B.C. to consider and vote on the Plan of Arrangement.
The Plan was approved by 97% of the General Creditors who voted in person, by proxy or by voting letter.
The final step in the approval process is to obtain Court approval of the Plan of Arrangement. A Court hearing to obtain approval of the Plan is scheduled for 9:00 am (Vancouver time) on September 29, 2010. The hearing will take place at the British Columbia Supreme Court, Vancouver, B.C.
The Monitor will also be filing its 5th Report to the Court detailing the results of the creditor vote on the Plan, and other matters, prior to the hearing.
The following update is based on the Justice Masuhara's oral reasons for judgment on September 17, 2010.
Motion # 1
Motion by HSBC to amend the CRO Order of March 25, 2010 to provide the CRO with the authority to assign the Bear Mountain companies into bankruptcy and to have such bankruptcy proceedings stayed.
The motion amending the CRO Order to provide the CRO with the authority to assign the Bear Mountain companies into bankruptcy was approved.
The motion to have the bankruptcy proceeds stayed was denied; however, HSBC was given leave to reapply to the Court once a bankruptcy proceeding is initiated to have the motion reviewed.
Motion # 2
Motion by Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") that HSBC pay forthwith to Her Majesty the proceeds received from the sale of assets known as the Finlayson Reach units up to $1,398,322.83 being the amount deemed held in trust for Her Majesty under section 222 of the Excise Tax Act.
The Court did not decide this motion and referred to the pending Ted LeRoy case which is being considered by the Supreme Court of Canada. Parties have leave to reapply to the Court to have the motion determined once the Ted LeRoy decision is rendered. The Court also indicated in its reasons that this issue would best be determined in a separate proceeding.
Motion # 3
Motion by CRA that the Initial Order be amended to clarify that Petitioner shall not be paid the proceeds from the sale of the assets until the applicable amount deemed held in trust under had been paid in full to Her Majesty.
The Court did not decide this motion and referred to the pending Ted LeRoy case which is being considered by the Supreme Court of Canada. Parties have leave to reapply to the Court to have the motion determined once the Ted LeRoy decision is rendered. The Court also indicated in its reasons that this issue would best be determined in a separate proceeding.
Motion # 4
Motion by CRA for a declaration that the Initial Order does not apply to Her Majesty with respect to the amounts owing by the Bear Mountain Respondents that are deemed held in trust under section 222 of the Excise Tax Act(the "Deemed Trust Amounts"), or in the alternative, an Order lifting the stay provisions of the Initial Order with respect to the Deemed Trust Amounts.
Motion Denied.
On September 9, 2010, the Court heard arguments from Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") and HSBC regarding CRA's deemed trust claim for unpaid Goods and Services Tax. In addition, the Court heard arguments on HSBC's motion allow the CRO the power to assign Bear Mountain companies into bankruptcy. The Court reserved its decision. An update will be posted once it is available.
On September 3, 2010, the Monitor mailed a Notice of the Meeting of Creditors to every creditor who that has filed a claim with the Monitor before the Claims Bar Date. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 at 2:00 p.m at the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour Hotel. The purpose of the meeting is to consider and vote on the Plan of Arrangement. A copy of the Meeting Notice and related material is available on this website under the heading "Claims Process".

The Monitor's Third Report and the CRO's First Report to Court are now available for viewing under the "Reports to Court" tab. In each of those reports, there is reference to the bank making an application to allow the CRO to assign the companies to bankruptcy.
The Monitor wishes to advise creditors, employees, suppliers and other interested parties that the bankruptcy assignments will have no effect on Bear Mountain's on-going day-to-day operations. The bankruptcy process is a legal component of the overall administration and is being done to facilitate Bear Mountain's efforts to restructure under the CCAA. This application will no longer be heard at the May 20, 2010 hearing but is tentatively scheduled to be heard by the Court at a hearing on June 4, 2010. The Monitor emphasizes that the bankruptcy filings, should they occur, will have no impact on the on-going operations of Bear Mountain
The Monitor had anticipated filing its 3rd report to the Court on May 17, 2010, however the filing of the report will be delayed in order to address motion material anticipated to be filed by the CRO and the Petitioners. The report is now expected to be filed on May 19, 2010

They are clear demonstrations of the ideals of the revolution- mainly being equality before the law, freedom of speech and a united France.
In the search for achieving these ideals however, violence was used often to an amazing extent as the revolution became radical. Although at first violence was used to progress France by crushing counterrevolutionaries and opposes of the republic, the time known as the Terror was the peak of radicalism and resulted in the triumph of violence over these ideals. Laws such the "Law of Suspects" and "Law of Prairial" were deliberately created to bypass the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The Terror and the violence associated with it became a form of political oppression as Robespierre rose to the point of dictatorship, thus crushing the ideals of the revolution
The Philosophes were the voice of the Enlightenment and essentially that of the ideals that triggered the beginning of the Revolution. According to Townson "Their aim was to apply rational analysis to all activities... They were very much in favour of liberty- of the press, of speech, of trade and of freedom from arbitrary arrest." The French Revolution aimed to create this liberty within the social classes by destroying the absolute monarchy and establishing a government of the people, for the people.
The Cahiers collected before the estates general also voiced the main ideals of the revolution. They contained ideas of equality before the law, economic freedom, fiscal equality and they echoed the catchcry of the revolution-being "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity"
These ideals where all further documented in the...

STARKVILLE, Miss. – If Sunday's exhibition game against Southeastern Louisiana in Madison was any indication, the future is shaping up to be a bright one for Aaron Gordon's Mississippi State soccer team.
Despite falling in a tough 4-3 decision to Southeastern Louisiana in front of a great crowd at Madison Central High School, Gordon saw flashes of brilliance on the pitch from his young side, especially freshman Morgan Ferrara.
Ferrara, a January enrollee from Tampa, Fla., had a hand in all three Bulldog goals, scoring twice and assisting the other.
"It was a good, competitive game, and we want to thank Madison Central High School for allowing us to play on their field on short notice. We also want to thank the great crowd that came to watch us play," Gordon said. "Our young players learned some valuable lessons about what they can expect from playing at the collegiate level. The great thing about the spring is we can take the mistakes we made and learn from them as we prepare for the fall."
Ferrara opened her college account by directing a first-half free kick past the SELA keeper. The Lions, who return nine starters from last season's Southland Conference Tournament championship squad, netted a pair of goals to take a 2-1 advantage to the half.
SELA extended the lead to 4-1 early in the second stanza before the Bulldogs mounted a furious rally. Ferrara scored her second goal of the day before setting up Shannen Jainudeen for her third goal in as many spring contests.
"We gave up a goal late in the first half, but I really liked the way we came out in the second half and created a number of scoring chances," Gordon said.
The Bulldogs are scheduled to host Georgia State Sunday at 11 a.m. and Alabama at 7 p.m. April 10 as part of Super Bulldog Weekend. Admission to the games at the MSU Soccer Field is free.

InterStudio: Wearable & Soft
In these cross-disciplinary studios we explore the different materials, advanced topics, and domains that Interaction Design might involve. To the different disciplines we bring a method of application and the material of time design and the memory and interactivity of technology. Courses in this studio can be fulfilled by a variety of options including cross-listed courses with other departments, Engage studios, or an emerging topic defined by a faculty member, sponsored studio or other elective submitted by the student and approved by the program chair.
In Wearable and Soft Computing students get an overlook of the history of wearables and will develop an understanding of the socio-cultural-political context of wearables as interactive pieces. The class will explore the relationship between technology, fashion and aesthetics. Theories concerning materials that adorn, protect, extend and reveal the body will be discussed. Technology embedded within materials that bend and move can harness energy, control light displays, compose music and create remote intimacy between persons. The inverse is also true, using peripherals and sensors to effect wearable and soft displays. Students will produce prototypes using conductive and resistive fabrics, threads, yarns and will learn how to research and use alternative materials to create fashionable and flexible works. Sewable microcontrollers, sensors and components will be introduced, such as the Flora and LilyPad. Some topics offered will be modularity, power supply management, wireless communication and garment hacking skills. A final project will be developed through a series of interactive projects, skill sharing and readings.

Jennifer Richardson made headlines when she revealed that she had a steamy affair with Lam Lam while he was married to Khloe Kardashian, and the veracity of her claims have been questioned on more than one occasion. Apparently, Jennifer doesn't like being called a liar, and she's making an appearance on daytime reality talk show The Test to prove herself!
The Test is hosted by Kirk Fox and uses lie detectors, medical examinations, and DNA tests to extract the truth from its guests. Jennifer isn't the only reality star in the hot seat — the Lohans are slated to make an appearance this week and Teen Mom's very own Farrah Abraham will take a pregnancy test to find out if she's having her porn-parter James Deen's baby!
Check out this clip from Jennifer's episode, in which she claims that Lamar Odom hooked her up with tickets to a basketball game and she had better seats than Khloe Kardashian!
"I sat courtside, and she sat three rows back," Jennifer says, throwing a huge cloud of shade while doing so.

There is now one less place smokers are allowed.
Powell city council members voted to put in place a soft smoke ban on smoking within 15 feet of Powell playgrounds, under picnic shelters and near park bathrooms, according to ThisWeek Community Newspapers.
No smoking signs soon will be installed n certain areas of Powell public parks.
According to city officials, the ban is designed to curb smoking near areas most frequented by children.
The ban is described as "soft," because it will not be strictly enforced.
The mayor said that the legislation strikes a balance between personal freedom and public health.

Aamir Khan's nude 'PK' poster has generated much controversy and looking to leverage that into profits are the versatile minds at Amul.
They say that 'Imitation is the best form of flattery'! And when it comes to 'imitation'... we mean, 'flattery', who better than the milk major Amul - through its quintessential cartoons.
Ever since Aamir Khan's almost-nude poster of his upcoming film PK was out, it not only gave rise to a million controversies, but also to a whole bunch of 'spoofs'! Well, if we had our way, then, we would have given the prize of the best spoof to none other than Amul, for having come up with its trademark caricature of its Amul girl alongside Aamir Khan's character carrying a bag and the controversial tape recorder while eating bread (with Amul butter of course).

President's precedent
Politics | George W. Bush is not the first to be guided by Christian faith; Presbyterian Benjamin Harrison set a high standard
Government must not fear religious faith, President Bush often says. "We must welcome faith," he said once again earlier this month in Baltimore.
But some members of the press do not welcome it. The Washington Post seemed shocked last year that Attorney General John Ashcroft holds daily Bible studies at the Justice Department. Murmurs continue about the several Bible studies that go on in the White House. (Two weeks ago author Bruce Wilkinson was guest speaker at one.)
Some pundits who don't know history sometimes attack Mr. Bush and Mr. Ashcroft for supposedly breaking precedent and applying their Christian faith to public policy issues. They don't know that most presidents have done that.
Take one largely forgotten leader, Benjamin Harrison. Elected to the presidency in 1888, Harrison had the audacity to have Bible study and prayer in the White House. He also was an active elder in the First Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis. Like Mr. Bush, Harrison lost the popular vote in 1888 but won the electoral college majority by carrying his home state, Indiana, by 2,000 votes out of 537,000 voters, and winning New York state by just 13,000 votes out of 1.3 million.
The federal government did not give massive federal grants to social-service agencies in the late 19th century, so Harrison never raised the issue that President Bush has advocated-whether the government should fund faith-based groups for social services. Instead, Harrison gave out of his own pocket generously to charities and people in need.
When he came to Indianapolis before the Civil War, he volunteered at the YMCA, which then had a strong Christian emphasis. In a commencement address at his graduation from the University of Miami in Ohio, Harrison faulted the poor laws of England for making charity too impersonal. In his thinking, individuals and churches had the primary responsibility to care for the poor-that's similar to the idea behind the Bush initiative.
Harrison, committed to stopping the spread of slavery, also was an early leader of what became the Republican Party. In his loss of the popular vote to Grover Cleveland in 1888 he may have had a genuine grievance, according to Butler University historian George Geib. With the abandonment of Reconstruction policies, blacks were disenfranchised in the South and Harrison lost thousands of likely votes. (Ex-slaves generally voted Republican.) In his Inaugural address, Harrison warned: "The community that by concert, open or secret, among its citizens denies to a portion of its members their plain rights under the law has severed the only safe bond of social order and prosperity."
As president, Harrison invited staff and family members to pray with him, and no debate about separation of church and state ensued. "He started every day at the White House with prayer, right after breakfast," notes Phyllis Geeslin, executive director of the Benjamin Harrison Home in Indianapolis: "He lived his faith on a daily basis. He sought God's counsel on every decision he made," as he had since his youth. (While training for Civil War military service, Harrison wrote home to his wife, asking for prayer: "I hope you all remember us at home and that many prayers go up to God daily for my Regiment and me. Ask Him for me in prayer, my dear wife, first that He will enable me to bear myself as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.")
Harrison's wife died just before the 1892 election, when he also lost the White House to Cleveland. As a one-term, 19th-century president, Harrison has not received much attention from historians, partly because of a bias among many toward presidents who expanded the federal government's reach.
But historian James Cash wrote this in Unsung Heroes: "In his daily living Harrison probably took his religion more seriously than any other president. Part of his eloquence suggests Ecclesiastes or Habakkuk. His condemnation of the rich and selfish suggest influence by Amos and other Old Testament prophets."
Harrison helped his church select a site and lay the foundation for a building now in the hands of an inner-city Presbyterian Church of America congregation. That church, Redeemer Presbyterian, is developing the kind of faith-based initiatives that President Bush has advocated from the White House bully pulpit.
Redeemer members provide volunteer home repair work for needy families in a nearby neighborhood and are helping a private inner-city school dedicated to racial reconciliation. Harrison would likely be pleased to see the 100-year-old building used for the purposes that he and others in the church had in mind when they selected the site.

Artist biography
English caricaturist, watercolourist, draughtsman and engraver. Although he is commonly thought of as a satirist, most of his drawings are gently humorous, and in some cases objective, records of urban and rustic life. With the exception of a small number of topographical drawings, they are characterised by an abundance of picaresque incidents, whether robust or sentimental, and have much in common with the novels of Laurence Sterne and Henry Fielding, which Rowlandson illustrated in 1808 and 1809.
Rowlandson's reputation suffered in the prudish moral climate of Victorian England, but by the mid 20th century he was recognised as a minor master and one of the most brilliant draughtsmen of his day.

GUANGZHOU, China: A weekly Chinese newspaper at the centre of anti-censorship protests appeared on newsstands yesterday as a newsroom strike ended amid fresh calls for the Communist Party leadership to loosen its grip on the media.
The strike at the Southern Weekly in affluent Guangdong province came after censors watered down a page-two editorial in the New Year edition. Calls for China to enshrine constitutional rights were replaced with comments praising one-party rule.
The rare newsroom revolt at one of China's most respected and liberal papers hit a raw nerve nationwide, with calls for freedom of expression led by bloggers with millions of followers such as actress Yao Chen and writer Han Han.
How the party responds to those calls will be a key indicator of new party leader Xi Jinping's reformist inclinations.
About six protesters were forcibly cleared from the gates of the paper by plainclothes officials on Thursday, shouting as they were bundled into vehicles as dozens of uniformed police officers looked on. The problem of reconciling the conflict between conservatives and liberals was illustrated in scuffles and heated arguments outside the Southern Weekly's gates all week.
Leftists carrying Mao Zedong posters and red China flags repeatedly abused scores of Southern Weekly supporters for undermining China's socialist system and one-party rule.
"After we have full stomachs, we want to say more. This is normal," said Ye Qiliang, a young man in a brown jacket who opposed the Maoists in one evening protest.
"The media is the people's voice. We are now all Southern Weekly people."
While the paper's appearance in newsstands suggested a tentative truce between Southern Weekly journalists and censorship authorities, the latest issue carried subtle signs of resistance.
Microblog posts attributed to newsroom staff expressed dismay at censors forcing the paper to pull an editorial from its current edition, which one source in Guangzhou close to reporters at the Southern Weekly corroborated.
Buried in the back pages, however, was a call for reform.
"The party's methods of controlling the media must move with the times," the article read, citing a Monday editorial from the Communist Party mouthpiece, the People's Daily. In its interpretation of the editorial, the Southern Weekly said the remaining necessary reforms were as difficult as "gnawing at bones".
"They need the protection and support of a moderate, rational and constructive media," it said.
The censorship turmoil has also spread to the capital. Online accounts said Dai Zigeng, the publisher of the popular Beijing News daily, announced his resignation on Wednesday after the newspaper resisted government pressure to republish an editorial criticising the Southern Weekly.
Reporters Without Borders, an advocacy group for journalists, called on party chief Xi, set to become president in March, to put an end to censorship.
Chinese Internet users face the "Great Fire Wall" of censorship, especially over politically sensitive topics such as human rights, while foreign websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Google-owned YouTube are blocked.

1. Mass Effect 3
Played the first Mass Effect in only a few sittings as I was so engrossed in the story. Played the second ME and gave up after an hour. Then I upgraded from a 27" SD TV to a 42" HDTV and gave it a second chance, which ended up with me absolutely loving it. To be able to finish the story and possibly play some co-op, this game has me so pumped.
2. BioShock Infinite
The first Bio Shock was my favorite game 2007. Never played the second one, even though I bought it the day it came out, in fact I'm looking at the Collector's Edition box at this moment. Still looking forward to this one though as it looks incredible.
I played a little of the first SSX and some multiplayer of SSX3 a couple of months ago with my friend. While I'm disappointed that there is no split screen so I can't play the new one with her, just watching the videos of the game has me so pumped. Add in the fact that they added a Skate type control option and I can say that I'm truly excited since I never was a fan of the button controls.
4. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Rich Gallup don't fail me now!!!
5. Persona 4 Golden
The game, and so far the only game, that will make me get the PS Vita. Played the original, watched the endurance run (twice) and have been trying my best to not just bust out my PS2 to play it again just so I can enjoy the new version of it. Hopefully it comes out this year.
6. Max Payne 3
Loved the first two Max Payne games. As long as it's anything like those, I'm sure I'll love it.
7. Tomb Raider
Really like the brutal look of this game. Hopefully it lives up to what was shown, with a lot less quick time events.
8. Lollipop Chainsaw
A Suda51 game with a hot girl as the main character that kills a lot of things? Sounds kinda familiar, which makes me rather happy.
9. The Secret World
Not sure how this one will turn out, but I'm interested in the concept. Hopefully the game itself has enough to keep you wanting to play, because without leveling there doesn't seem much to work towards.
10. Persona 4 Arena
A Persona 4 fighting game from the guys that made Guilty Gear? Sign me up, and I'm not even the biggest fighting game fan.

I installed these on my ninja to replace the previous springs, which had compressed over time. The clutch is performing MUCH better now, and the improvement better than expected. I am very pleased with these springs; they have solved any slippage issues I had.
Aaron (Hugo )
I put these in my '03 YZ450F in about ten minutes. I ride in very hilly and rocky terrain with just the right amount of sand and mud here and there, and have had no issues with these clutch plates. I ride every weekday for around 4 hours and 12+ hours on weekends. I would recommend these plates to anyone.
P (Ypsilanti )
This part is actually the large O Ring for the outer clutch cover. It is not the gasket that is shown in the picture. I thought I was ordering the paper gasket for the clutch cover to crankcase. I ended up having to return it.

Someone in the manufacturing facility must have messed up. One of the tapped holes for mounting the backing plate was drilled and tapped after the akadizing process??? I dont know how this will affect the treatment in the long run but at the time I needed the basket installed so I will have to live with it. Otherwise it is a superior high quality product.

The cardinal archbishop of Madrid called Spanish President Jose Luis Zapatero's refusal to attend the papal Mass a "minor issue," preferring instead to focus on the massive turnout of faithful who expressed their support for the Pope and the Church's teaching that "the family is born of marriage."
Cardinal Rouco said he was pleased with the response of Catholics in Spain to the call of the Pope. "I had no doubt about it, even though we would be in Valencia in the summer, in the second week of July, no matter how much we sweated. Nothing was going to stop it," he said.
The cardinal noted that the turn-out and participation in the event far surpassed organizers' expectations, and that, "young people were much more present that many had said, and they came with a natural spontaneity and positive attitude: this is our way of life, we have chosen to live in a way that doesn't hurt anybody and inspires all."
Asked about President Zapatero's decision not to attend the papal Mass or the Pope's departure ceremony, Cardinal Rouco called it a, "minor issue that is not important. The most important thing is that the Pope met with one million people, that half the world heard a message about the family and that we are willing to proclaim it to society and to the whole world."
Cardinal Rouco was also asked about the Pope's meeting with the bishops of Spain. "He encouraged us to keep doing what we are doing," the cardinal said. "There are always those who try to point out differences between the bishops of a certain country and the Pope and that is useless because our communion with him is total. We always learn from him, and it cannot be said that the Pope is not with us or is not encouraging us to continue being witnesses to the gospel here in Spain," he stated.
Cardinal Rouco also underscored the great moral value of Spain's cultural and spiritual heritage. "We should not destroy that which has united us for so many centuries," he stated. "For the Church, this noble nation of Spain is one of the historical places where her roots are deepest," the cardinal said.

Friendly owners
Had to pay an extra $20.00 for my dog
There are not many choices in the area... this one has always been reliable.
The drapes could not be opened (there was no hardware, the panels were just hooked over the rod). The coffee pot in the room was dirty. The floor was clean, but had soap residue that turned sticky in humidity.
It was very clean and the beds were quite comfy.
No, it was OK.
Clean,guiet. Pet friendly. The food was good. We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
The noise from the adjoining room was loud. The noise barrier between rooms was not very good. With the sink area outside the bathroom was not what we're use to.

Visiting Meryemana, the Virgin Mary's Home
December 12, 2011
Many of the stops on a Turkey and Greece cruise have more to do with ancient Greek and Roman cultures than Christianity, but Meryemana, or the House of the Virgin, is an exception.
Local legend tells that this house, now a church, is the place Mary fled to after Jesus was crucified. Located between Ephesus and Seljuk, Turkey, the site has received the official sanction of the Vatican and is now a popular site for religious pilgrims.
Christian religion teaches that Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John after the resurrection of Christ and lived the rest of her life there. However, even for visitors who are not religious, the history and the archaeology of the structure is fascinating.
Archaeologists have found that most of the building dates from the 6th or 7th century, but that its foundations may well date from the 1st century AD, the time of Mary. The house was "discovered" in 1812 by a German nun, Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich, who was an invalid confined to her bed. Emmerich awoke in a trance one night, and began describing visions she was having of the Virgin Mary and Apostle John traveling from Jerusalem to Ephesus. Though she had never traveled away from home, Emmerich described what is now known as the House of the Virgin in perfect detail — a rectangular stone structure that John had built for Mary, featuring a fireplace, an apse and a rounded back wall — to the writer Brentano, who recorded it by her bedside. The nun also added that Mary died at age 64 and was buried in a cave near her house.
Although researchers found a coffin near the site, it was empty. After the home was turned into a chapel, Popes Paul VI and John Paul II both visited the site and verified the authenticity of Emmerich's vision and the structure itself. Now, the main altar is where the kitchen was before, and the right wing is Mary's former bedroom. Jews, Christians and Muslims alike crowd to the site, which holds Mass at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday and has a number of springs that are said to heal ailments.

Gearing up for the documentary's release later this summer courtesy of Drafthouse Films, an official US trailer for "The Act of Killing" was released online today. Joshua Oppenheimer's acclaimed, troubling film has former Indonesian death squad leaders recounting the atrocities that they committed. Forgoing the usual format of talking-head testimony, they instead reenact the memories of what they did and experienced through various film genres of their choosing, from gangster to Hollywood musical.

The strange and disturbing nature of this conceit is on full display in the film's trailer. The film will be officially hitting US theaters on July 19th.

Once again retired and ever too old for this shit, Bruce Willis nonetheless gets called back into the action of shooting guns in Red 2, as well as in every other Bruce Willis movie coming out this year. John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, and Brian Cox also return for the sequel, and now there's also Anthony Hopkins making up for the lost dignity of Morgan Freeman, Willis's G.I. Joe co-star Lee Byung-Hun filling in for the youthful intensity of Karl Urban, and Catherine Zeta-Jones doing her best to muster a fraction of the aggressive sexuality of Richard Dreyfuss.
This first trailer doesn't waste a lot of time getting to the denture and boner gags, but like with the first Red, somehow it all ends up being a little better than you'd think: the dentures reference is pretty subtle, and the old-guy-boner joke doesn't even make reference to Viagra. In the suddenly-flourishing world of aged comedies, that is a pretty classy move.

School test scores drop sharply
Superintendent Johnson, a critic of new state exams, insists they 'do not matter'
1 2 3 Next page >
By Alex Costello
New York state released the results of its new tests last week and, as expected, scores for students all over the state, including Rockville Centre, dropped dramatically.
Last year, an average of about 81 percent of Rockville Centre students passed the state exams, which are given in grades 3 through 8 in English Language Arts and math. This year, with the new tests the state gave, the passing rate in Rockville Centre plummeted to 48 percent. The state average was slightly over 30 percent.
"Our conclusion, after reviewing this with my staff in the central office and talking to a number of colleagues, is that we're just going to put it on a shelf someplace and just leave it there," said Dr. William Johnson, the district superintendent. "We're not going to use this information to make any kind of determination about what kind of services we need for children, and we're not going to use it in any capacity whatsoever to make informed decisions about our staff."
The drop in scores came because more rigorous standards were used on the exams. They were the first to be given since the state shifted its curriculum to the Common Core Learning Standards, which are intended to more fully prepare students for college and careers.
"These proficiency scores do not reflect a drop in performance, but rather a raising of standards to reflect college and career readiness in the 21st century," State Education Commissioner John King Jr. said in a release. "I understand these scores are sobering for parents, teachers, and principals. It's frustrating to see our children struggle. But we can't allow ourselves to be paralyzed by frustration; we must be energized by this opportunity. The results we've announced today are not a critique of past efforts; they're a new starting point on a roadmap to future success."

text: 15 September 2011 archive See all show photos AFTER his spring/summer 2012 show, Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa explained backstage that this latest collection developed from a recent fascination with pre-Raphaelite art. Shown in a clinically austere white space, this collection advanced considerably from last season's textured white dresses that stood away from the body. This outing clung close to the body, following the lines of, and thus emphasising, the physicality beneath. The first dresses were shown in nude, mimicking the tone of the skin itself. Diminutive pleating and twisting seams created a sense of musculature and motion, and simulated the wealth of detail artists of the artistic movement strove for. These characteristics showed a premeditated reverence for the human form, mapping the anatomical topography of the frame it shields. Like Madame Grés before him, Costa's clothing isn't just an external shell, it's a reflective cocoon that helps accentuate and give life to the cold biology of nature. This led to a sense of transparency that was not only implied - sheer bibs of fabric revealed the breasts and torso underneath. Other key elements of the collection where the slightly pinched waist, with stitched sutures curving inwards toward a lean, hourglass waist before moving downward. The skirt was longer than last season's icy shifts, hovering just below the knee, and there was emphasis on garments like elongated blazers that hung leanly against the body and cut-away vests with open backs - welcomed additions to Costa's canon. Even a major trend of the season, the peplum, was filtered through the label's understated air, looking like little more than a cummerbund. There was a diaphanous quality to the fabrics, mostly silks in tulle, crepe, and charmeuse but one metallic jacquard was an undeniable show piece. There was a component of lingerie involved, a sexual fad that becomes vogue from time to time, but Costa was careful to strip it of its more excessive and sexual inclinations. Overall, this collection was a lovely step forward for the designer, in creating clothing that aligns with the body instead of ignoring or denying it. Costa's mindful appreciation of form in no ways diminished his aesthetic - quite contrary - it heightened it. SEE THE CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION SHOW ARCHIVE Max Berlinger Continue reading Back to top

The 2006 Provincetown International Film Festival will open its eighth edition June 14th, debuting with the east coast premiere of Barry Pottermann and Frank Anderson's doc about actor Charles Nelson Reilly, "The Life of Reilly," which debuted at the SXSW Film Festival in March. PIFF will screen sixty films during the event in addition to special programming and fetes for director Gregg Araki ("Mysterious Skin") and actress Lili Taylor.
The "Filmmaker On The Edge" award will be given to director Araki and the "Excellence in Acting" award will be given to actress Taylor. This festival tribute will include a discussion with the awardees and feature a three-film retrospective of each honoree's work.
Sundance Film Festival jury and audience award-winner "Quinceanera" by Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer will screen as this year's centerpiece film. The film centers on Magdalena who is thrown out of her home before her 15th birthday after becoming pregnant. She then moves in with her brother, also expelled for being gay, and her great-granduncle, forming a makeshift family unit that must stand up against social stigmas and the encroaching urbanization that threatens their Los Angeles neighborhood.
The Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival's special jury prize for originality of vision winner "20 Centimeters" by Ramon Salazar will screen as the festival's "Friday Night Spotlight" film. The feature is about a narcoleptic transvestite who yearns to become a transsexual, and dreams up elaborate musical numbers in which she's the star.
Ali Selim's "Sweet Land," which won an audience award at the Hamptons International Film Festival in October, will screen as the "Saturday Night Spotlight." As Inge buries her husband Olaf on their Minnesota farm in 1968, her life story is recalled as she tells her grown grandson about how she arrived from Norway in 1920 as Olaf's postal bride.
The Northeast debut of Billy Kent's "The Oh in Ohio" will close out the fest June 18. Married to her childhood sweetheart and quickly climbing the corporate ladder, Priscilla Chase (Parker Posey) seemed to have everything going for her --except that she'd never had an orgasm. When her husband (Paul Rudd) unexpectedly leaves her, she embarks on a wild journey that leads her to satisfaction and love in the most unlikely place. The film also stars Mischa Barton, Danny DeVito and Liza Minelli.
"I am proud to say that the festival's new programmer, Andrew Peterson, has put together a schedule that expresses the diversity, creativity and independence of the Provincetown community as well as that of the independent film director," commented Gabrielle A. Hanna, executive director of the Provincetown International Film Festival in a statement. "And we are pleased to celebrate Gregg Araki and Lili Taylor as true notables in the independent film world, who stand up well against their predecessors."

Drudge Uses Sensationalist Headline To Distort Report On Consequences Of Climate Change
In the Center For American Progress Action Fund's Progress Report yesterday, the Wonk Room's Brad Johnson wrote that "the evidence for the consequences of global warming is appearing with alarming frequency." Citing the recent flurry of destructive storms, floods, heat waves, and droughts that have hit the U.S., Johnson argued that "the media are strangely reluctant to discuss severe weather events in the context of climate change."
Ignoring the lion's share of Johnson's argument, the Drudge Report linked to the piece under the headline, "Deaths called 'consequence of global warming'…":
But, as Johnson explains at the Wonk Room today, Drudge's sensationalist headline ignores the actual argument being made:
What we in fact reported, and what is scientifically established, is that these extreme weather events that caused death and destruction "are consistent with the changes scientists predicted would come with global warming." The Progress Report cited findings from the National Climatic Data Center, UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and the University of California, San Diego.
This isn't the first time the Drudge Report has used an over-the-top headline to make those concerned with the effects of climate change look foolish. In May, he pushed a doctored audio clip of former Vice President Al Gore that made it seem like Gore said the cyclone that struck Burma was a direct "consequence" of global warming.

Mark Kenber: Today's Budget is a mixed bag for the UK's low carbon future
- Date
- 20 March 2013
LONDON: Today the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne delivered his Budget statement to the House of Commons.
Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group commented:
"The Chancellor's Budget and his statement today were really a mixed bag for the all those that believe in the UK's low carbon future.
"It's a pleasant surprise to actually hear the Chancellor mentioning the need for a low carbon economy. Still, he keeps on making the fundamental mistake of thinking that investment in renewable energy and cleantech 'costs' jobs. There is solid evidence from every corner of the world that investment in the low carbon economy actually creates jobs and increases productivity.
"What Britain needs is a clear, low carbon, high growth strategy for the future. A strategy where we do not just build "infrastructure" but the right infrastructure to lower emissions, lower electricity bills and increase energy efficiency. A strategy that will help CCS become a credible growth industry for the UK. A strategy where gas has a future – not as a panacea for all our economic ills but as a way to replace coal and help us to smooth our transition to a low carbon future. A strategy that features prominently renewable energy and smart grids – all missing from the Chancellor's statement today."

Continuing Guaranty (unlimited)
A guaranty is an agreement in which one party (the guarantor) promises that if a borrower doesn't pay back its loan, the guarantor will make payments on the borrower's behalf. In a continuing guaranty, the guarantor agrees to back up everything the borrower owes to the lender, no matter how many notes or transactions are involved. This document is unlimited in amount, which means that there is no cap on the amount that the guarantor is ensuring. No matter how much money the borrower borrows, the guarantor is promising to repay those amounts if the borrower doesn't.

Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood says company officials have said they will look into concerns addressed at a meeting earlier this week in Norfolk, prompting him to not support a special session at this time.

Everything *cls
Hi all,
OK, even after reading the docs on this, I still don't seem to understand the various properties related to css classes, basically everything ending in 'cls'. Specifically: cls, componentCls, baseCls, bodyCls. I feel some energy emanating from these properties telling me that there is some real power there, but I cannot harness it.
For example, lets say I have an Ext panel that I want rounded corners on the outer panel container. I create this class for that (ignoring x-browser for simplicity):
.ContentPanel {
border-radius: 7px;
I have applied this class individually to each of the *cls properties mentioned above but none seem to actually apply the border radius (well, bodyCls actually does, but only on the content part of the panel, below the header). Looking in Firebug, I see numerous classes applied to the panel's DOM element, including my 'ContentPanel' class, so on a DOM level I understand that I'm not getting the desired effect because of all of the other classes in the mix.
So, the question is which property or combination of properties will help achieve something like this? I did Google around on this looking for primers, but to no avail. If anyone knows of anything helpful, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
7 May 2012 6:40 PM #2
Here is a second 'hypothetical' case that might help.
I have a (floating) panel, that I want to have a transparent background and no borders on, so I define this class:
.ClearPanel {
border: none;
background-color: transparent;
As in my first post, I have applied the various *cls properties here without success. . .

Recap | Final Stats | Quotes
BERKELEY - Tonight's 75-70 Cal victory over Murray State marks the fourth consecutive year the Golden Bears won their season opener. It's also their sixth consecutive home-opening win.
Cal has now won 32 of its last 34 games at Haas Pavilion.
With his 18 points, Jerome Randle moves up to 18th on Cal's all-time career scoring list with 1,202 points, and he just 13 points behind Doug True for 17th (1,215). Not far behind, Patrick Christopher is now 24th on that list with 1,167 points.
Randle's 18 points on the night was a game high. Four Bears reached double figures in scoring - Theo Robertson (14), Patrick Christopher (13) and Jamal Boykin (12). Already Cal's best free-throw shooter in school history, Randle swished 10 of 11 free-throws tonight.
After leading the team in steals last year with 27, Jorge Gutierrez took the early team lead tonight with two steals. He was also a perfect 2-for-2 from behind the arc.
Patrick Christopher played his 100th career game tonight. It was also his 80th career start.
Randle's four assists puts him at 378 for his collegiate career. He is eight assists away from tying Shantay Legans for sixth all-time in school history.

|In Majestic DLC matchmaking, kill 5 enemies while Promethean Vision is active.
Equip the Promethean Vision mod to any of your five loadouts. While the Promethean Vision is active, simply kill five enemy players before it turns off/runs out of charge. Take note that if an enemy player has the Wetworks 'Stealth' mod, they show up only as a red outline, rather than the full figure. Remember that the vision can also be deactivated for a faster recharge and you can use it to line up percise shots before turning a corner.

Oh goodie.... will probably never get this because I refuse to use the nooby ass promethean vision. Great idea to add something that lets players just blindly rush around the corner and still have the jump on other players...
|Comment #2 by Xenharmonic
Thursday, February 21, 2013 @ 07:27:12 PM
Its not blindly rushing then isn't it? ;)
Sorry couldnt resist.
But in all seriousness, is it even possible to get a kill while using PV for the whole time you are shooting at them? If you use it to spot players then it might run out before you get the kill. Oh wait, Boltshot can help with that!
It looks like the strategy will be to get an enemies shields down, then activate PV to get the melee/headshot.

Crimson Map Mack chievos: (1) Now They Fly? (2) Special Delivery
Majestic Map Pack chievos: (3) Didn't See It Comin' (4) Bullet Sponge (5) I See You! (6) Clever Girl (7) Flash of Light. I might want help with other Majestic Map Pack achievements.
I have 1 controller and sometimes I may have 2. Let's setup a lobby / party /group to get achievements. The more controllers / players there are, the easier it is. Send me a message and friend request. My gamertag is Nice Male Human.

#1 clearly you haven't heard of the wetwork perk that stops Promethean vision from working on you or active camo. Also it isn't our fault that you choose not to use a perk that can turn a firefight around. I usually use it to tell if someone has a shotty or sword or when a sniper is sitting on the middle hill on ragnarok with active camo (you see their outline)
Promethean vision was the only good armour ability anyway. The rest are terrible (I prefer reach's ones).
Really easy, got it in my second game after I realised that there is this achievement.
When in a firefight turn it on just as your about to kill someone. Best done in team battle so your team mates can help you take someone down faster.
I just takes time as it is accumulative.

If you are interested in helping out will all of them (not just ditching out after you have yours done) please send me a message on Xbox Live with a mic and saying how many controllers you have. Friend requests are ok too as long as there is a message with it, I don't accept random FR, sorry.

Alright, sorry guys, I just got these all done so I won't be boosting for them any more. So please don't message me (Ho1yHotCakes). Thanks! But a word of advice, 343 made these way too easy, just get together a total of 8 controllers, guess or human, and go into Majestic FFA. Seriously some of the easiest achievements ever! Good luck!

Wow, this is the first time I ever used Promethean Vision since launch.
Anyway, choose the AA, wait until your enemy is almost dead, flick on PV and finish him. Repeat. Piece of cake.

I bought Halo 4 when it was first out and recently bought the G.O.T.Y. edition. It's proven to be mostly a waste of $40, being I can't seem to find other people who have the (DLC) maps I need to play on. I enjoy getting the achievements and helping other people do the same. If you need help with anything and don't mind helping me get some of the achievements I'm trying to get, feel free to add me on XBL.

Warped Tour -- St. Petersburg, FL -- July 29th, 2012
This show was a week ago but i never got around to putting it on here, so here you are.
The Ghost Inside - First band of the day and they brought it, these guys had the best pits of the bands i saw, had great energy, I definitely recommend checking them out. - 8/10
Rise To Remain, up until 48 hours ago i had never listened to this band, but now i consider myself a fan, the guitarist was incredible, watching his fingers go up and down the entire neck of his guitar as fast as he was was awesome, and also vocalist Austin Dickinson (whose dad is Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson) has a great voice, one of the better newer bands. - 7/10
Polar Bear Club - I've been a fan of this band longer than any of the other 60+ bands on this festival and they did not disappoint, the sound, musicianship, and overall performance was incredible, the singer personally thanked the crowd for watching after every song, he seems really humble and that he loves what he does, I will definitely have to see them again some day. - 8.5/10
Senses Fail - This band is hit or miss, half of their material is great, the other half....not so much, but they definitely exceeded my expectations, not the best band of the day but an overall solid performance, i loved that they played Shark Attack. - 6.5/10
New Found Glory - This band had the best crowd reaction of the day, everyone went insane for them, unfortunately i didn't find their performance to be that great, they sounded very good but didn't put much effort into their performance, but still definitely worth seeing at least once. - 6.5/10
Streetlight Manifesto - The main reason i was there, I had seen this band twice before but they were from a distance, this time i was on the rail in dead center, they are by FAR the best band on this festival, their sound, set, performance, musicianship, everything was completely flawless, their horns players were hilarious, if you like Ska then definitely check them out. - 10/10
Taking Back Sunday - Good band, good performance, but i wasn't blown away, i wouldn't go see them on their own tour but I am glad i could see them on a festival once. - 6/10 (I only give it a 6 because the singer sounded great)
Blessthefall - This band bored me so much i left after 3 songs, don't plan on seeing them again. - 2/10 (only a 2 because the drummer was great)
Miss May I - watched half the set from a distance while waiting on another band, not impressed, I cannot for the life of me see what's so special about this band. - 2/10
We left right before All Time Low went on, disappointed we couldn't stay to see Every Time I Die and After The Burial, but I'm still glad i got to go at all.
Stuff i got.
The Ghost Inside setlist (caught 2, gave one to a friend)
Polar Bear Club's "Sometimes Things Just Disappear" on vinyl (signed by vocalist Jimmy Stadt, they also gave me the CD version for free)

I'm really trying to sort this one out. Really.
Thought I'd decided on an Id, but saw today's ride pics with the pair of Yeti 575s and leaned back toward the Yeti. Still can't find a Blur LT demo ride. Let's chime in, people. What's best about your 5"-6" travel frame? What's worst? I'd kind of assume it would fly downhill, but does it climb? Do the bars flop around in the ups? Does it cut through the twisties like a snake or a semi? Does it bottom?
While we're at it, does Marzocchi's All-Mountain 1 outperform a Vanilla?

text: I currently living in San Diego, and thinking of making the trip up to the Bay Area to visit my parents' house. It's around 500 miles. I was thinking of doing it in about 4 days. I want to use my race bike. Have any of you done something like this? It should only be about 7 hours or so in the saddle each day. I have friends and relatives houses to stay at for the most part, but I'm not quite sure how much I should bring to not be a complete idiot. It seems like I might need a pack of some kind - I've been referred to peterwhitecycles.com as a possibility. But I definitely want to be traveling about as light as possible. Any tips/advice/experiences?
