Skrillex, Diplo and Pretty Lights were in Toronto yesterday for their concert at the Historic Fort York. The Weeknd also happened to be present at the event and the after party at The Hoxton, where he had a chance to catch up with the three performers. What resulted was a trippy night in a Toronto studio with Diplo, The Weeknd and XO crew.
Will any collaboration music result from this rare studio appearance? Only time will tell.

From a purely British motorsport angle this is obviously very sad news for iSport in particular and open top racing in general -especially coming on the heels of the demise of Fomula Two and the near death experience faced by British F3. So,let's hope the new junior formula,Formula 4,is the success it seems set to be,because we badly need a lift. And when the financial climate improves let's hope iSport are pressing to get back where they belong.

mummy... last two years has seen vale being compared to stoner non stop.
vale has never made the jump from bikes to cars , only occasional weekend flirting is all.
red bull was instrumental in getting stoner in a car so i seriously doubt he set off to race cars before vale.
you have a fixation with mothers bro.

Twelve high school students gathered in a Cleveland area church early this year. They'd all had minor brushes with the law or were in danger of dropping out of school. They came together to discuss the movie Fox Searchlight, www.foxsearchlight.com).
A Cleveland native, Fisher was a physically, emotionally and sexually abused foster child. The homeless teenager joined the Navy, where he stayed for 11 years and confronted his past. Now he's a successful author and screenwriter.
The discussion that unfolded was part of The Covenant Project, which helps at-risk seventh- through 12th-graders overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching their academic potential. The Lutheran Church of the Covenant in the Cleveland suburb of Maple Heights operates the project in cooperation with the Community Re-Entry Program and Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry.

I want to make my program initialization a bit "smarter".
I have several classes which represent commands. All these classes are immutable (i.e. creating only one instance of each should be enough for the whole application). All these classes implement
Command interface.
I think that the fact that some classes are placed in the same jar with a class with the main method (maybe even in 1 predefined package) and that these classes implement one known interface should give enough information to make it possible to automate creation of their instances.
How can I implement this feature? (Obviously, it's something tightly connected with reflection, and maybe, with java class loading mechanisms, but I'm not an expert in these fields).
I want to have something like this:
public static void init() {
Map<String, Command> commands = Maps.newHashMap();
for (Class clazz : findCommandImplementationsInThisJarFile()) {
//some try/catch stuff is ommited
Command command = clazz.newInstance();
commands.put(command.getName(), command);
How to implement the tricky method

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Good evening! I can help you out with your legal question tonight.
It will depend on the entity loaning you the money to buy the automobile or land. However, after a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you actually become more attractive to lenders since you had all of your debts wiped out. Typically lenders only need two years of good credit history in order to loan again to buy a piece of land or home.
So because your bankruptcy ended 2.5 years ago, most lenders will loan to you again if your score is high enough.
They typical range for credit is:
Very Poor -300-575
Poor -575-625
Good 700-750
Excellent 750-850
So you can typically get a loan when you have a score between 600-650.

Researchers at Aalto University (Finland) and Amherst College (US) have created, photographed, and modelled synthetic magnetic monopoles.
"These observations lay the foundation for the underlying structure of the natural magnetic monopole, the detection of which would be a revolutionary event comparable to the discovery of the electron," said Aalto University. "In the future, we want to get even a more complete correspondence with the natural magnetic monopole."
Aalto did the theoretical work and Amherst covered the experiments.
Take the Electronics Weekly Salary Survey 2014 »
The idea of a magnetic monopole is old – just like an electron making an electric field, it would be a monopole making only a 'north' field, or only making a 'south' field.
But every magnetic thing found so far has both north and south ends.
Some 80 years ago Paul Dirac proposed a quantum-mechanical structure that allowed for the existence of magnetic monopoles.
"Dirac's original framework has now been experimentally realized for the first time," said Aalto University.
"The creation of a synthetic magnetic monopole should provide us with unprecedented insight into aspects of the natural monopole," said Professor David Hall from Amherst College. "It's not every day that you get to poke and prod the analogue of an elusive fundamental particle under highly controlled conditions in the laboratory."
Synthetic? Analogue?
"A synthetic magnetic field is an artificial field that leads to particle dynamics equivalent to those of an electric charge in a corresponding natural magnetic field," said Aalto University in a monopole backgrounder .
Dirac's monopole exists at the end of a quantum vortex.
"Electrons are not the only physical systems that can exhibit terminating vortices. Thus a Dirac monopole can also appear in other systems, such as the Bose-Einstein condensate," continued Aalto. "Rather than being related to the natural magnetic field, this monopole can be associated with a synthetic magnetic field. Importantly, the structure of the monopole is identical to that of a Dirac magnetic monopole. This is why the Dirac monopole observed in the synthetic magnetic field is closer to a natural magnetic monopole than any earlier observation."
Results have been published in Nature paper 'Observation of Dirac monopoles in a synthetic magnetic field'.
And there is a magnetic monopole YouTube video.

Baseball Hosts NIU on Tuesday; Travels to Bradley on Wednesday
April 28, 2014
CHICAGO - The UIC baseball team (17-19, 12-9) will carry a three-game win streak into a pair of contests against in-state rivals Northern Illinois and Bradley this week. The Flames will host NIU on Tuesday and journey to Bradley on Wednesday with both games scheduled to start at approximately 7 p.m. CT.
The Huskies captured a come-from-behind win against UIC earlier in the season on March 18, plating five runs in the ninth inning after the Flames held a 7-3 lead. The Huskies have given UIC troubles as of the late, winning nine straight contests that dates back to the 2006 season.
The Flames have not competed against Bradley since the 2012 season when both squads picked up a non-league road victory. Their last meeting was April 11, 2012 at Les Miller Field as the Braves came away with a 9-4 triumph.
UIC enters the week after sweeping Horizon League-foe Valparaiso on the road this past weekend, which catapulted the Flames into sole possession of second place in the conference standings. UIC seeks its first home win since April 6 as its last five victories have all been away.
The Flames still stand as one of the nation's top offensive units as they rank 10th in team batting average with a mark of .309 and 10th in scoring per game (7.2 runs).
NIU owns a season record of 13-29-1 and have won four of their last five outings. The Huskies also defeated HL-member and third-place Milwaukee last Wednesday at home by a final of 3-2. NIU is paced at the plate by sophomores Brian Sisler and Justin Fletcher who bat .299 and .291, respectively.
Bradley prepares to host the Flames inside Dozer Park as they tout an overall record of 21-19 with a home mark of just 4-9. The Braves were recently swept by MVC-foe Evansville this past weekend. They are guided by sophomore Tyler Leffler and junior Issac Smith who are averaging .357 and .345, respectively, from this dish.

It's been pretty hectic getting back from the holidays and going through all the emails, preparing the forum launch and everything. I've finally got (read: made) time to work on my press release distribution system and thought to plug it here a bit.
At the time of writing, GameRelease.net has total of 180 active contacts (list here), and while the number has increased – I've systematically deleted emails that have bounced any press releases. I make 100% sure that the list is only for those who actually read the emails. Those who don't want to get contacted via email can read the PR feed. There is about 30 contacts or so today who read the feed.
Besides making sure that the list is active members only, I built an archive of press releases (that goes back as far as early 2006) and there anybody can read any of the press releases they want. I will make few additions to the system so that there will be a simple quota system (which ensures that Insiders can send roughly 1 press release per week, or about 4-5 per month) – and will be naturally stored to the archives.
Last but not least, I'm creating a small reporting script that will email users how the distribution was done – and who got their email.
That's enough advertising for now. Check out GameRelease.net for more information about getting coverage for your products. In the following days I shall publish the next edition of the Game Producer Carnival. There's several good submissions for you to check out – stay tuned.

President Barack Obama is due to join his family in Hawaii late Wednesday.
Obama is departing Washington after conducting a nationally televised press conference, and signing a measure repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" military policy and other significant legislation.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports he's due to arrive at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam at 11:50 p.m. on Wednesday.
Limitations on the air space around Honolulu are to begin before Air Force One arrives, and will continue until soon after Obama leaves, which could be Jan. 2.
First Lady Michelle Obama, their daughters and first dog Bo arrived Saturday. They are staying at a three-house compound in Kailua, where security restrictions on the ground and adjacent waters are already in place.

Blanton Cemetery — View all Interments
Cemetery Statistics
This census was taken by Michael Cross several years ago. The photos provided by C. Wilson who took them for us and for Find-a-Grave.
The cemetery is in rough shape but not as bad as it looks from the photos. It is overgrown, primarily with prairie grasses and needs a good mowing. It is evident that some effort was made in the past to clean up this cemetery as there is a large brush pile of limbs near the entrance. We did not find much in the way of tree limbs downed in the cemetery proper.
Most of the tall stones have been tumbled although we so no further signs of vandalism. Cleaning up this cemetery would be a great Eagle Scout project requiring more time and muscle than heavy equipment.

Old news, but I was reminded of it recently. Try copying them on a commercial copier. 1st try, the machine will lock up; 2nd try, the copier repair people will come out; 3rd try, they WILL send the Secret Service. This was all explained to me by a copy repair guy, who had NO sense of humor when I asked about it.

Image a Nation
McLuhan tells the story of the two who women meet on the sidewalk, one is with a baby carraige. The other looks in the carraige at the baby and exclaims " Oh what a beautiful baby !" to which the mother replies "But you should see the photographs!" That was in the 1950s.
And this month it was popular news that "selfie" was proclaimed a real word.
These shadow images are kind of subtle with a light feeling. Can I see a reflection of my self in images of my shadow or is it just someone I was hoping I was at that click of the shutter moment? I guess as I do not really understand who I am I will never know the difference. I mean, below could be my buddha and sanga., or maybe just some childish reaction.

Moraga, CA - Stanford, ranked 20th by the IWLCA, flexed its muscle in its final regular season conference game with a 15-7 win over the St. Mary's Gaels. This win was the second over the Gaels this season and the Cardinal's sixth consecutive WWLL victory. St. Mary's traveled to The Farm for their first game of the season on February 24, and left with a 9-8 loss. With this game Stanford improved its record to 11-3 overall, 6-0 WWLL and St. Mary's fell to 6-7 overall, 1-5 WWLL.
The Cardinal took the lead two minutes into the game and overpowered the Gaels defense as senior tri-captain Katharine Barnes (Northhampton, MA /Deerfield Academy) scored 4 goals in the first half. Stanford led 7-3 at halftime and proved just as strong in the second half, allowing only one Gael's player to score and putting in 8 goals of their own.
Barnes led the way with 6 goals in the game and two other Stanford players, Caroline Osterwise (Villanova, PA/Harriton HS) and Abbi Hills (Lakewood, CO/Colorado Academy), each recorded a hat trick. Sophomore Rachael Neumann (Woodbury, NY/Syosset HS) started in goal and played 47:43, allowing only 5 goals, lowering her goals-allowed-average to 8.78. Freshman Sara Shamos (Denver, CO/Colorado Academy) stepped into the cage for the seventh time off the bench this season, to stop the Gaels from closing the gap and help the Cardinal to its third straight win.
Stanford continues this week's road-trip with a match on Saturday, April 21 at 12pm (ET) against the University of New Hampshire and a match on Sunday, April 22 at 12pm (ET) against Boston College. These games close out the regular season and the Cardinal returns to action the following weekend in the WWLL playoffs. In the first game of the playoffs Stanford will face St. Mary's at 12pm (PT) on Saturday, April 28, in Moraga.
Scoring Summary 1 2 F Stanford 7 8 = 15 St. Mary's 3 4 = 7
Goals: (S) Barnes 6 (37), Hills 3 (37), Osterwise 3 (18), Britt (9), Nyborg (2), Sawyer (5), (St.M) Bryan 6 (46), A. Back (13)

text: 10 ways to dress smartly for less Bargain-lovers, rejoice! You don't have to sacrifice style for affordability. By Heather Buchan 2011-02-18 00:00:00 You don't need to spend a fortune to be a style maven. And you certainly don't have to forgo style in order to save money. You simply need time, patience and some tips. Budget limitations can force you to become more creative in what you wear and how you wear things, so read on! Armed with the following shopping tips, you're sure to turn heads without breaking the bank.1. Go vintageVintage stores are great places to find retro-chic styles at bargain prices. Another bonus: you'll be hard-pressed to find someone else wearing the same thing as you at your next party. For listings of secondhand clothing stores across Canada, go to www.shopincanada.com and type in "used clothing." 2. Be sale savvyBoxing Day is not the only time of year to snag bargains. In fact, most sales extend far past Boxing Day throughout the rest of January and into February. And end-of-summer sales generally take place in late July, before the fall clothing hits the racks. Be sure to also check out the fashion section of your local newspaper for listings of special clothing sales going on in your area. 3. Shop consignmentMany first-rate deals on secondhand designer clothes are found at consignment shops. Generally, consignment stores stock designer bags, shoes, clothing and accessories that are almost new and only a few years old. The best part: items are usually 50 to 75 per cent off what they would have cost brand-new. Check your local Yellow Pages under Consignment Shops or search the Web for stores near you. 4. AccessorizeNothing ties an outfit together like an eye-catching belt, a colourful scarf, a unique piece of jewelry or a gorgeous pair of shoes. When buying accessories, give careful consideration to their suitability with most of your wardrobe.

Puzzle & Dragons developer GungHo Online expects to rake in around $1.2 billion in revenue this year, and because it keeps its overhead low, it expects to keep about $700 million of that figure after expenses. These numbers are from CEO Kazuki Morishita, who recently spoke with CNN Fortune about the company's runaway hit game and business in general.
He attributes at least some of his company's success to his experience as a Manzai artist and stand-up comedian – believe it or not.
"I genuinely enjoy entertaining people – I get a thrill out of it," Morishita said. "Game companies should entertain their fans and users. It can never just be about the business-to-business aspects of the industry."
Morishita also said that GungHo has 10 or so games in development, though he would not disclose any more details. The studio's last game was Puzzle & Dragons Z on the 3DS, its first boxed retail release. The game proved to be a hit in Japan, selling more than 1.2 million units in its first month.
GungHo sold a controlling interest in the company last year to investment firm SoftBank last year. The company owns a controlling stake of more than 58 percent. SoftBank is a major player in the space because it also holds 51 percent of Clash of Clans developer Supercell.

Bali from the dear STELLA's Indochine collection, is a modern take on the ancient batik fabrics. It's a staff favorite at dear STELLA too!
Fabric measures 44" wide. Designed in the NYC, printed in Korea on 100% cotton.
Sold in 1/4 yard (9") increments. Price is for a 1/4 yard. We cut additional increments of fabric continuously. For example, if you select 4 units (which equates to 1 yard), you will receive a single piece of fabric that is 44" wide and 1 yard (36") long. We regret that fabric, once cut, is non-refundable.
Originally $10/yard. Now on sale for $8/yard (or $2 for a 1/4 yard strip)

DICE: No Modding Tools Planned For Battlefield 3 Launch, Frostbite Too Complex
By William Usher 5 years ago comments
I dont know if its a testament to the sheer uberness of the Frostbite 2.0 or the lack of willingness on the part of DICE, but in a recent interview it was confirmed that no modding tools are being planned upon the release of Battlefield 3.
In an interview with Gamestar [via YouTube] Patrick Söderlund talks a little bit about Battlefield 3, answering questions asked by the community. When the question pops up about the possibility of modding Battlefield 3 right out of the box, Söderlund states that
if you look at the Frostbite engine, and how complex it is, it's going to be very difficult for people to mod the game. Because of the nature of the set up of levels, the destruction, and all those things, it's quite tricky, so we think it's going to be too big of a challenge for people to make a mod."Based on some of the development layouts DICE released for tweaking the vehicle physics, audio and animations in the game, it came across as if potential modders would need a degree in engineering and well, physics.
Still, modders want to mod and some of them have no lives and its all they live for to mod. One of the more coherent statements from a Youtube user sums up how modders feel about the news, writing
There will be no modding tools because EA bought us and wants to sell you trinkets for 15 EUR. Its hard to sell you shit for gold prices if people are making similar or better stuff for free.Yes Lobos222, you hit the nail on the head: why release free modding tools to a community who spends every waking moment modding and making awesome crap for free, when you can spend two or three months doing the same thing and charge $20 for it?
EA is like a shark on the hunt and DLC is just another form of bait to goad unsuspecting consumers into the water, so EA can eat the financial flesh off their victims.
Alternatively, this is expert marketing at its best and Söderlunds comments simply reflect a timed maneuver in which EA will first milk the community with some premium DLC and then afterward release modding tools for the freeloaders.
Then again, I could be wrong and maybe EA has no plans to allow DICE to release modding tools whatsoever. I hope thats not the case because that would mean everyone who stopped supporting Activision because of their BS would then be supporting EA for their BS. Its like being stuck with Al Sharpton or Sarah Palin as the only two choices for President *shutters*
Anyways, Battlefield 3 is due out on October 25th for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. You can learn more about Battlefield 3 by visiting the Official Website.

Purchase this popular title by John Maxwell!
The not-talked-about, terrible truth is that all roads to achievement lead through the land of failure. Every person you admire has walked this road: the Wright brothers, Arnold Palmer, Truett Cathy, Amelia Earhart, Hank Aaron, George Bernard Shaw and Mother Teresa have all experienced failure and learned how to turn it into a stepping stone for success. Leadership expert Peter Drucker says, "The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try." Mistakes really do pave the road to achievement.
Let John Maxwell teach you the 15 steps to turning mistakes into stepping stones for success!

Ben Law has lived as a woodsman in Prickly Nut Wood for over 20 years. His authentic, incredible sense of the land and the wildlife, and his respect for age-old traditions and how to sustain them offers a wonderful, inviting insight into the life and character of Prickly Nut Wood. Having travelled to Papua New Guinea and the Amazon, observing age-old techniques for living in, working in and preserving forests and woodland, Ben Law felt compelled to return home and apply his learning to a 400-year-old plot of woodland near where he grew up - Prickly Nut Wood.
This is the story of how he came to know and love his woodland, how he lived off the land, how he coppiced and hedged and created charcoal, how he puddled and built shelter, and finally how he carved out his famous, characterful woodland home that Kevin McCloud has cited as his favourite ever Grand Design. And it's the story of the wood itself - how it lives and breathes and affects all those who encounter it, and how it's developed over the 20 incredible years Ben has shared in its lifespan. It's an incredibly transporting tale that will make you long to hear the dawn chorus, and appreciate the beauty of Britain's pockets of woodland.
©2013 Ben Law (P)2013 HarperCollins Publishers Limited
"Ben Law is an extraordinary man." (Kevin McCloud)
Amazing, I really enjoyed this book 10/10 all around. Highly suggest you pick this up and give it a listen.
"Very enjoyable"
After seeing this man on grand designs , i was interested when i heard he was bring out a book , i'm glad i bought it , go's into great about his work living in the wood and his roll in looking after the area and trying to make a living off the land , also tells the story about being involved and building his house for grand designs , a great listen for anyone interested in his story from grand designs or about work go's into managing a woodland
"Might not be what you expect but a great listen"
I was expecting a more typical biography with lots of coverage of Ben's early life but this is more of a description of what living in a wood is like and Ben's views on the World in general.
Absolutely fascinating stuff if you have any interest at all in sustainable living and the future of mankind.

Social Sites Can Bump Up against Open Meeting Laws; Politicians Say They Take Care Not to Discuss Public Business
Salman, Josh, The Florida Times Union
Byline: JOSH SALMAN
Less than two years ago, Barack Obama had an innovative idea. He would create MySpace and Facebook pages to publicize his run for the presidency.
The Web sites drew millions of viewers, and the concept spread.
Social networking sites have become a powerful marketing tool for politicians across the nation, but a recent opinion by the Florida attorney general warns that Web sites like Facebook and Twitter also can create a wealth of Sunshine Law violations.
"It's becoming a popular issue," said Adria Harper, director of the First Amendment Foundation. "You can't have two members of a board communicating between Facebook. These officials have to be very cautious."
Attorney General Bill McCollum gave city officials the go-ahead to create Facebook pages, but reminded them it's prohibited to engage in discussions concerning public business. All of the content also would have to be retained, he wrote in his issued opinion.
Facebook posts and comments would follow the current public record laws already in place. And although the practice of elected officials using Twitter hasn't gained the popularity of Facebook, the same laws still apply.
Even if two politicians don't directly share messages, comments left in reaction to a previous correspondence could be taken as a violation of the law, McCollum said.
Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton has a Facebook page that gets updated regularly by his assistant, Renee Brust.
Brust said the page mostly is used to share photos, and no private or city-related messages are sent through the site. The page also has limited availability for users to post comments.
To avoid public record violations, Brust said she saves all of the page's back content indefinitely.
"Our intent was the exact opposite," Brust said. "This was an effort to be more transparent. It would be crazy not to use it."
Use of social sites extends beyond the Mayor's Office.
At least five of the 19 Jacksonville City Council members have Facebook pages, two of which are set to a private status and can be viewed only by the users' friends.
Many of the council members are friends with each other through the Web site, allowing them to send private messages and comments.
In June 2007, Jacksonville council members spurred a grand jury investigation over routinely violating state law by not meeting in publicly available places, not announcing meetings to the public and not keeping proper records of meetings. …

Through an innovative approach that leverages the latest in medical/serious gaming technology and advanced robotics or human patient simulators, Winston-Salem State University Department of Physical Therapy (WSSU-PT) is leading the nation in designing alternative formats for clinical training.
These simulation technologies expand the quality and depth of the educational experience by simulating actual patient responses both physiologically and psychologically to disease or injury. Students interact with human patient simulators that can produce a robust range of clinical symptoms in response to simulated patient conditions. These simulation technologies are poised to play a critical role in educating health science students due to limited access to clinical training sites as the result of provider shortages and the need for in-depth clinical skill training because of the complexities of patient care in today's health care settings.
WSSU-PT is also customizing human patient simulators to provide enhanced simulation capabilities that better address the unique educational needs of rehabilitation specialists.
Through a partnership with a bioengineering faculty member at Wake Forest University (WFU) and the rapid prototyping facility at Western Carolina University, graduate students in both the WSSU-PT Department and WFU bioengineering are working together to design customized robotic limbs that will simulate common pathological states that are treated by physical therapists, nurses and other health professionals. This project is expected to produce novel intellectual property with the potential for licensing to other educational programs.
Another project that is expected to generate intellectual property with the potential for licensing is a 3-D serious/medical game that the department is designing to further increase complex skill acquisition and critical thinking. The department is partnering with industry gaming professionals to develop interactive media using 3-D animations that allows students to have an ongoing, immersive experience in patient care.
Both the serious/medical game and the human patient simulators allow students to engage in clinical scenarios that promote the acquisition of both basic and complex clinical skills while minimizing risk to "real" patients. Simulation allows students who are novice providers to experience "successful failures". Successful failures are failures in patient/client management that in a real-world scenario would culminate in harm to a patient or a poor clinical outcome. In the simulated environment, the student can fail with no resulting harm to a living person. This interactive experience which immerses students in a simulated clinical experience allows students to critique their own response and those of others participating in the simulation experience. As a result, the student can through critical analysis and ongoing feedback from peers and instructors alter their performance to attain a successful clinical outcome.
Additionally, the nature of these technologies allows them to be used to provide continuing competence training for licensed practitioners, skill development for novice, entry level professionals, work-re-entry training, risk management training, and community emergency preparedness training.

INTERVIEW: "Rosetta" Directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's Cinema of Resistance
by Anthony Kaufman
"We are one person, four eyes," say the brothers Dardenne, the Belgian directing duo that floored audiences on the last day of the 1999 Cannes Film Festival and took home the coveted Palme d'Or for their relentless portrait of "Rosetta," a young woman determined to hold down a job and just live a normal life in modern Belgium. Keeping the momentum of the film on high gear with her striving, persistent gait is newcomer Emilie Dequenne, who won Cannes' Best Actress prize for her film debut. Working from very basic concepts ("the wish to work with a woman," the futility of Kafka's "The Castle," a starting point that "was not a story, but a person"), the Dardennes eventually found their Rosetta amidst the life and freedom of location shooting.
At a cost of $2 million (they shot 60 hours of footage), the Dardenne brothers used their background in documentary filmmaking to create a riveting portrait of a young woman struggling to survive. Born in Belgium in 1951 and 1954 respectively, Jean-Pierre and Luc have produced over 60 documentary films since 1975, as well as 5 feature films, including "La Promesse," which garnered Best Foreign Film awards in 1997 from both the L.A. and National Societies of Film Critics. The Dardennes spoke to indieWIRE about creating film that resists control and leads to truth. USA Films acquired "Rosetta" during Cannes and will open the film this week in New York and Los Angeles.
indieWIRE: You did documentary work for many years. Can you talk about going from non-fiction to fiction?
Jean Pierre Dardenne: The documentaries that we used to make, you go to film a reality that exists outside of you and you don't have control over it -- it resists your camera. You have to take it as it is. So we try to keep that aspect of documentary into our fiction, to film something that resists us. So we try not to show everything or see everything. The character and the situation remains in the shadows and this opacity, this resistance, gives the truth and the life to what we're filming.
iW: How do you create a situation that resists the camera?
Jean Pierre: Here's an example, we put on ourselves limitations. For example, when we shot the scenes in the trailer, we specifically didn't want the walls to be movable; we wanted the walls to remain as they are in any trailer. This is a way to proceed; it's really an attitude. We don't want to be God, we don't want to dominate anything. We want to remain on the level of the things as they are and not impose on them.
iW: Are there moments in the film that came out of spontaneity?
Luc Dardenne: We shot in super-16, which allows you to have very long shots, some shots would be 10 minutes, many were 5-8 minutes. We rehearse the actors a lot and we don't put anything on the floor for the actors to follow. So even if you organize exactly what they are going to do, they are never going to do it the same way. For example, the very last shot, because we did it that way -- open to changes and not marking it down -- things happen, tensions are created from that, because you really don't know what's going to happen when you shoot. In the last scene, we did maybe 10 takes, and chose the last one, because the more she did it, the more tired she got. And the moment when she falls is the moment where we improvised in the frame. We didn't plan it, so those are the happy accidents, however rehearsed you are, there's still spontaneity that you don't control and in a way you provoke.
iW: Do you see film as a social activism in any way?
Luc: No.
iW: Then entertainment?
Luc: A little.
Jean Pierre: Hopefully, it's also entertaining. It's difficult to say, what do you mean when you say, "social activism"?
iW: In making a film about this woman, you've also made a film about unemployment. So is that part of your agenda, or does that theme come out organically from telling her story?
Jean Pierre: Yes, our first desire is to make this portrait of a woman who is a fighter, a survivor. She really believes that if she doesn't find a job and a place in society, she is going to die. So we had to put ourselves and put the camera in that state of mind. And once you've done that, you have to address the moral issues, to kill or not to kill, to commit suicide or to not commit suicide. Of course, by doing this, you are going to portray society and unemployment. We know what we're doing, but this is not the first aim; it comes with it, but it's not the reason why we do it.
iW: Can you comment on the use of the handheld camera? It mirrors the character's obsession-compulsion, it's very much an obsessive camera.
Jean Pierre: You're right. But how we do it doesn't matter. How you get it matters and you obviously got it.
iW: With your last film, "La Promesse" and this film, a gritty, sort of low-budget style emerges. Could you conceive of making a film with bigger equipment, a bigger budget, a crane at your disposal, for example?
Luc: This is a house that we like to live in. Filming is like a house, you have to feel comfortable in it.
iW: Why have you chosen to make narrative films, and strayed away from documentaries? Do you find it more fulfilling?
Jean Pierre: It's more exciting, because you put together a group of 20 people, and every morning you get together and you start giving life to creatures that don't exist, characters that don't exist, and not only do they exist in front of you, but they escape from you, you can't control them anymore. You can't exhaust the possibilities. In documentaries, you're confronted with reality, you can not manipulate or move it. It's given to you the way it is, and here you can manipulate.
iW: How many days did you shoot?
Jean Pierre: 11 weeks.
iW: For such a simple film, that seems rather long?
Luc: We shot a lot of footage, we shoot many versions of the same sequence. Sometimes we shoot the scene, look at the dailies, aren't happy with it, so we go back and shoot it again. We keep all the sets until the end, until the editing is absolutely over. We'd rather have the opportunity to re-shoot a scene than to rent a crane.
iW: Can you talk about the sound briefly? The motorcycle, her breaths, her steps. . . they're so important to the film. Did you conceive of that at script stage, was that always part of the film?
Jean Pierre: On the set, we starting hearing the sounds very clearly, then after a week or two, we started realizing how important it was. For us, that's the most beautiful part of making a film, when you're shooting and you find those ideas and make them part of the film.

911 Calls | Bull running down North Avenue (audio)
At least a dozen people frantically called Baltimore police to repot a bull, no a steer, eh, maybe a cow? that ran down North Avenue last week.
The bull escaped from a slaughterhouse on Pennsylvania Avenue before running amuck downtown.
One caller thought it had escaped from the zoo.
Another caller said the bull nearly charged him while he was sitting in his car.
Officers eventually shot and killed the bull Friday morning at the intersection of Charles and Biddle streets along Mount Vernon.

When Jill and Jim Harder bought a home in the Tonto Verde master-planned community, they wanted to leave the Southwest theme they'd used in their Scottsdale home behind.
Jill opted for a more traditional Tuscan look in a home with a view of the Mazatzal and McDowell mountains near Rio Verde.
She also wanted the home to exude warmth.
Although the couple helped design the home and selected most of the furniture, they worked with Mark Bianucci, interior and landscape designer and owner of A Studio in Scottsdale, to complete the package.
The Harders, who divide their time between their Arizona home and a lake cabin in Minnesota, wanted an open floor plan to accommodate entertaining and an interior that incorporated the lush, outdoor landscape.
French doors off the dining room open onto a front brick courtyard.
Bianucci had the walls faux finished and created a painted stone wall in the open family room and kitchen, the hub of the home's living area.
These rooms open onto the backyard, which Bianucci also helped design.
Knotty alder wood cabinets, beamed ceilings, and tiles laid on the diagonal accent this comfortable, elegant hub of the living area.
Richly colored Oriental rugs in sage, black, cream and burgundy echo the open family room and kitchen color palette.
Bianucci uses patterns throughout to add visual interest without creating a look that's distracting.
He also uses lamps, rather than ceiling lights, to create intimate pools of light, re-creating the rural Tuscan warmth Jill was drawn to.
A huge Tuscan bed dominates the master bedroom. Bianucci had a piece of richly woven fabric from Belgium framed in Dupioni silk for the bedspread.
The outside is accessible from every room. Bianucci treats these outdoor spaces as other rooms, making sure that the visual elements of the outdoors flow indoors.
And the finishing details are subtle - patterns and colors in items as small as vases and frames - enhancing the uses of color, pattern and scale.
The result is a home that Jill says creates the warm, elegantly casual look she wanted.
"I had done a lot of detail stuff and Mark helped me finish it off," she said.
"I'm happy with the whole look," she said.
Reach the reporter at email@example.com or (602)444-8246.
The tumbled brick courtyard opens to the front of the home. French doors open from the dining room onto the spacious patio that allows for easy access during dinner parties.

Richard McIver, long the only African American on the Seattle City Council and an advocate for Rainier Valley and underdeveloped parts of the city, died Saturday night at Swedish Medical Center. He was 71.
"He was extremely generous with his wisdom, and he was sort of our moral compass," said City Councilmember Jean Godden, who considered Mr. McIver a mentor.
She is among those who remember him responding to neighborhood-rejuvenation efforts with the suggestion that the council instead focus on parts of the city that had not yet been "juvenated."
Mr. McIver's sharp questions and vibrant, sometimes unpublishable sense of humor earned him the respect and goodwill of colleagues and at least one adversary.

Paul Elliott, his former chief of staff, remembers Mr. McIver going for drinks on Election Day in 2001 with his opponent, Grant Cogswell.
They drank at the Four Seas bar in the International District, which
Mr. McIver considered his second office, Elliott said.
Because monorail supporter Cogswell had given up his car, "Richard drove his opponent to the polls, waited out in front while his opponent voted against him, then picked up Grant's girlfriend and drove them to their election-night party," Elliott said.
During the 2005 campaign, Mr. McIver became known for saying, "Don't mistake cool for fool," after opponents equated his laid-back style with a lack of energy.
A graduate of Western Washington University, Mr. McIver worked for the Washington Association of Community Economic Development and at the Tacoma Housing Authority before being appointed to the City Council.
He was selected in 1997 from 114 candidates to complete the term of John Manning, a former Seattle police officer who resigned after pleading guilty to domestic violence. Mr. McIver was then elected to three four-year terms.
He did not run for re-election in 2009, saying, "I want to go home and sit down."
His decision came after a period of difficult personal problems. Mr. McIver had recently undergone colon surgery, after other health problems. In 2007, he was arrested after his wife reported he assaulted her. The charges were later dropped.
In 2008, he used city money to pay a $1,000 fine from the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission for violating the city's conflict-of-interest law. Mr. McIver ended up paying the fine himself.
Mr. McIver was a key figure in the creation of the
$50 million Rainier Valley Community Development Fund that since 2006 has loaned more than
$10.8 million to 19 small businesses and real-estate developers.
He became interim executive director of the fund after leaving the City Council.
"He flunked retirement," his wife, Marlaina Kiner-McIver, joked Sunday.
The couple had invited friends and family to a dual celebration on April 13. It would have been their 39th wedding anniversary, and they were celebrating Mr. McIver's regaining his ability to walk after suffering strokes almost three years ago.
"He was thinking about what he could do next," his wife said.
Mr. McIver, who had other health problems, had been hospitalized recently for low blood pressure.
Godden said Mr. McIver never forgot being stopped by police in 1999 during the World Trade Organization unrest
"He said he was a city councilman, and the policeman didn't believe him and made him spread-eagle against the car. He never forgot that, not so much because of the indignity to him, but that others did not believe an African American might be a city councilmember," Godden said.
Bruce Harrell, a city councilmember who was in the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity with Mr. McIver and for two decades lived two houses away from his family, recalls the elder councilman's advice when a homeless-advocacy group camped out in front of their houses a few years ago.
"He said, 'Bruce, you have to understand something. They don't have money to do newspaper advertisements or billboards. This is how they're advocating for what they want, and we have to respect that.' "
Mr. McIver also is survived by his daughter, Mimi McIver, and grandson Michael, both of Texas. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

Florida A&M Homecoming Honors Their History
Robert P. Stephens II | 11/7/2009, 10:05 a.m.
The date was November 29 1969 when the first college interracial college football game took place in the south between the Rattlers of Florida A&M and the University of Tampa Spartans. It was important that the two races proved that they could co-exists in the arena so that future contests could be scheduled. It was only two years prior to the game that Tampa was the scene of race riots which had affected the city.
The Rattler fans sat on one side and the Spartan fans sat on another, as both cheered wildly for their teams. One of the most important aspects of the game was that it went on without any problems.
Spartan head coach Fran Curci told the New York Times," There's going to be a riot," Somebody is going to get hurt, " but this was a historical game and it had to be played, " he said.
" I had the feeling that it was a game that we had to win " said defensive end and now pastor Bennie Johnson.
" We thought that we were as good as Florida St. and the University of Florida, but those opportunities were not available to us" said teammate Melvin Rodgers.
In 1967, Coach Gaither had started a dialog with several members of the Florida Board of Regents about the possibilities of playing a white school. He finally found a taker in Fran Curci. The game featured more than a dozen players who were eventually drafted into the NFL, was well as three who went on to win Super Bowl rings.
Ironically, shortly after this historic game took place, it took less than a decade for black high schools to be raided by the very schools that they were denied entrance to. The University of Alabama, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Auburn and others started to heavily recruit black players.
By the way, Florida A&M finished 8-1 that season, beating the University of Tampa in what was considered one of the most entertaining games that season. The final score was Rattlers 34, Tampa 28. The University of Tampa stopped playing football in 1974.

There was more suspense than usual in this year's hotly contested Tony Awards nomination race. So who came out ahead and who lost out?
Mostly a rash of Hollywood thespians hitting Broadway: Daniel Radcliffe, Denzel Washington, James Franco and "Cabaret" star Michelle Williams were left off the nominations list, along with Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart ("No Man's Land/Waiting for Godot"), Zachary Quinto ("Glass Menagerie"), Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz ("Betrayal"), Orlando Bloom ("Romeo and Juliet"), Debra Messing ("Outside Mullingar") and the entire cast of "The Realistic Joneses": Michael C. Hall, Toni Collette, Marisa Tomei and Tony-winner Tracy Letts.
Among those scoring nominations were Neil Patrick Harris ("Hedwig and the Angry Inch"), lead actor Chris O'Dowd ("Of Mice and Men"), Tony Shalhoub ("Act One"), and Bryan Cranston as LBJ in "All the Way"--who is getting closer to the rare EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). Time to release a single!
Among the Hollywood to Broadway musicals, "Rocky," "Big Fish," "Bridges of Madison County" and Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" did not land a coveted Best Musical nomination. "Bullets" was slammed by the New York Times, but did pick up nominations for Allen for Best Book of a Musical, featured actor Nick Cordero, scenic designer Santo Loquasto, costume designer William Ivey Long, orchestrator Doug Besterman, and choreographer Susan Stroman--but shockingly the Tony-winner ("The Producers") did not land a director nod.
Going into the nominations, among the costly new Broadway musicals only "Aladdin," "If/Then" and "Beautiful" were selling well, while comparatively better-reviewed "The Bridges of Madison County," "A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder" and "After Midnight" suffered anemic attendance.
Thus Tony Awards nominations leader, new musical comedy "A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder," with ten, has much to gain as leader of the pack--it even nabbed two competing nominations for lead musical actor. Nabbing seven nominations each were new musicals "After Midnight," a Cotton Club revue which needs a box office boost, while hit Carole King biography "Beautiful" continues full steam ahead with lead actress nominee Jessie Mueller. The latest Disney animation-to-stage musical "Aladdin" also enhanced its already strong marquee draw with five nominations. "If/Then" did score a lead actress nod for Idina Menzel.
Strong competition in the lead actor race will come from Harris, flamboyant star of musical revival "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," which scored eight nominations. There were only three musical revival nods, reflecting new Tony rules. "Violet" scored four nominations and long-legged boffo performer "Les Miserables" three, while Sam Mendes' latest mounting of "Cabaret" starring Williams was snubbed--it had won the Tony with the same staging back in 1998.
Among the play revivals, "Twelfth Night" and long overlooked "The Glass Menagerie" took seven nominations. "The Cripple of Inishmaan" starring Radcliffe took six, and "A Raisin in the Sun" produced by Scott Rudin and starring Washington, five.
The new play category was led by Tony Shalhoub vehicle "Act One" with five nominations, followed by Harvey Fierstein's "Casa Valentina" with four and Cranston vehicle "All the Way" with two, while Tyne Daly starrer "Mothers and Sons" and John Patrick Shanley's "Outside Mullingar" each took one.
Hugh Jackman showed up for the nominations to promo his latest turn as the host of the Tony awards show on June 8 at Radio City Music Hall.

A funny parody by DFW. I recommend playing the following audio while reading:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand THEY'RE OFF!
And it's Bachmann by a length! Wait, make that half a length! Now it's Perry making a run from the outside, and he's taken over the lead with Cain passing Bachmann from the inside. They're pushing and kicking, and now it's Cain by a length!! Cain in the lead, Bachmann falling behind, Romney in the middle, Gingrich near the rear and Ron Paul, Santorum and Huntsman at the rear. Huntsman? Who's he? Someone get me the list. Is that the jockey or the horse?
Aaaaand now they've rounded the first quarter, and it's Gingrich starting to make a move..wait, no he isn't--wait...no, he is, ahh who the heck knows what he's doing? Romney's coming up fast--wait, no, all the rest of them are going slower. Now it's Santorum and Romney neck and neck with Gingrich using cyanide-tipped spurs trying to catch them. Huntsmann seems to be running out of financing and gas. He's dropping out! Cain seems to have slipped on a patch of melted mozzarella!! He's dropping out too. Bachmann dropped out a while ago, and is now downing kool aid at the Fox News booth, but we didn't notice with all the activity still on the track. Where's Perry? He was there a minute ago! Perry dropped out to pray and has endorsed Gingrich! No one noticed, not even Gingrich!
Rounding the half-way point, it's Romney! No, it's Gingrich! No, it's Romney! No, it's Santorum! Where did he come from? He leads by a length with Romney looking forward, backward, and sideways. Gingrich has dropped his cyanide-tipped spurs and is taking out an Adelson assault pistol! He's aiming it at Romney. It backfires! Santorum has now pulled even with Romney, and they are both riding neck and neck backwards! What a race, ladies and gentlemen!! It's Santorum and Romney! Gingrich is frothing at the mouth! Look out, there's someone pulling up on the outside!!
He's gaining, and the crowd is finally waking up! No, the crowd is going wild with excitement. Romney and Santorum are now two lengths behind and Gingrich is jabbing sea urchin spines into both horses' hindquarters! The newcomer is pulling away with this. It's NONEOFTHEABOVE by two lengths!!!!! Out of the middle of nowhere!!! What a race!
Pulling into the home stretch, it's NONEOFTHEABOVE by three lengths with Romney and Santorum pulling sea urchin spines out of their haunches, and Gingrich behind them wondering why he is still behind them, with Ron Paul stuck in the last century! And the winner is..................................
Barack Obama, who has been waiting for the rest of them from behind the finish line since ten seconds after this ridiculous race began. What did you expect?
