Chrome Beta leads Android Apps of the Week
Google made a grand gesture in launching the Chrome browser beta for Android. Gaining popularity on the desktop, it was only a matter of time before Google merged its browser and mobile efforts with an Android version of Chrome. Vonage also made a splash with its Android debut, competing with established players like Skype and Google's own VoIP service. Rdio has completely reworked its Android app in hopes of making its mark on the Android Market's music scene, while Zlango reached 1 million users just a few months after its launch.
Chrome Beta (Free)
With 37 percent of mobile browsing taking place on Android devices, it's high time Google released Chrome for mobile devices. Already gaining on Firefox and IE on desktops, Chrome for Android works on smartphones and tablets, delivering a personalized browser experience on the go. There's accelerated page loading, scrolling and zooming, as well as search support with the omnibox. You can open and toggle between tabs, and sync your bookmarks to ensure your browser content spans the PC and the handset. Chrome Beta even has the infamous incognito mode for private browsing. The biggest drawback is its limited availability. It's only for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich devices, to take advantage of the updated OS's hardware acceleration. With a mere 1 percent of all Android users using ICS, it may be a while before Chrome Beta really takes off.
Vonage Mobile (Free)
In a world where Skype and WhatsApp rule, Vonage hopes to delve deeper into mobile with an Android app of its own. Vonage Mobile enables free calling and messaging within their network. International calls are supported, but they'll cost you. Unlike Skype, Vonage Mobile syncs with your device's contacts, and boasts HD audio, putting it ahead of its smaller rivals. This isn't Vonage's first mobile app. Vonage Extensions is a mobile adjunct for its home service, supporting international calls with limited features. It's good to see Vonage expanding its mobile efforts, even if they're even later than Skype to the playing field.
Rdio update (Free)
Completely overhauled, the new Rdio Android app delivers access to over 12 million songs on the go. There's offline support for when you don't have a 3G or Wi-Fi connection, and you can curate playlists to create your own collections. Similar to Spotify, you can subscribe to others' playlists, whether they're friends or keen music lovers. You can search songs, albums, artists and users with the Rdio app, or tune into a station created by the most popular songs being played in your network. The new Rdio app is all about music discovery, so social sharing is encouraged, and following friends' activity will often lead you to an undiscovered gem or two.
Zlango update (Free)
Zlango's goofy app lets you send picture messages, and the icon-based texting app has really caught on. Zlango claims 1 million users since launching in the U.S. about four months ago, with over 5 million users worldwide. It's another app that replaces one of Android's core components – texting. Such apps only continue to gain in popularity, especially those, like Zlango, that offer a high level of personalization. Resonating with younger demographics, Zlango offers a massive range of free icons for picture messaging and social media status updates, along with skins and live wallpapers to further personalize your phone.
Foodspotting update (Free)
Foodspotting is more than just foodie porn, with a major update to its Android app. Offering a new focus on recommendations and venue discovery, Foodspotting reveals a Pandora-like interface that lets you mark dishes as "want it," "loved it," "tried it," or "hated it." The more feedback you offer, the better Foodspotting will be able to recommend dishes you'll like (great for vegetarians that aren't turned on by a close-up of lamb steak). The update really digs into Foodspotting's database of dishes added by its users, building personalized suggestions as it continues to leverage crowdsourced content. The app, as novel as it is, was overdue for such an update to take it to the next level.
Waze update (Free)
The popular navigation app that also relies on crowdsourced input for traffic jams and other obstacles, Waze 3.0 is a great update to an already great app. With a fresh coat of paint, Waze offers new maps for a more driver-friendly UI, and improved social features as well. De-cluttering the app, the new interface has larger icons. And the maps can now be rotated to make a smoother experience overall. Waze also incorporated Yelp and Foursquare to extend local information on various venues, making it an even more beneficial app for the social scene.

Finally, Bay gets to take a break from Autobots and Decepticons and this week brings us his passion project, the American Dream on steroids (literally) flick "Pain and Gain," a balls to the wall take on the rags to riches tale, based on a true story. It looks to be as ludicrously bombastic and shiny as one of The Rock's pectoral muscles. So, in a word, awesome. We thought in honor of this film, we'd take a spin through the medium where Bay got his start, in the world of commercials and music videos. These short form takes allow Bay to be as unrestrained as possible in some ways, going completely over the top in terms of visual style and editing, almost every spot oozing with pure, testosterone-fueled id. But many of them also show what an intrepid visual storyteller Bay is, communicating complex ideas through his bonkers cinematography in 60 seconds or less. It's pure distilled Bay, doing what he does best. Enjoy our favorite picks below, and let us know in the comments which of your favorite Michael Bay ads and videos make it onto your top 10 list.
Meat Loaf "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"
The thing starts with a helicopter vs. motorcycle race. WHERE CAN WE GO FROM HERE? Oh, just to a spooky old castle where Meat Loaf is dressed as a Quasimodo type character and rocking some fierce acrylics. THIS IS IN THE FIRST MINUTE. OF EIGHT MINUTES. A motorcycle crashes through the wall, a chandelier crashes to the floor, and we are thrown into a flashback where Beast Meat Loaf meets his beauty by a pond (model Dana Patrick). There are literally hundreds of candles and a magical chair. An unexplained witchy lesbian sex scene. Outside, police cars and a manhunt in lens flare-y glory, light streaming through the forest. A levitating couch where Dana Patrick lip syncs the female part. Her song turns Beast Meat Loaf into Regular Meat Loaf and they drive away into a sunset, on a motorcycle, natch. Upon rewatching this, why hasn't Bay been offered any period fantasy pieces?! Give the man "Snow White and the Huntsman 2" for God's sake. A "Game of Thrones" episode, maybe? Not enough helicopters for his taste, probably. What is there to say about "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"? The video is epic, ridiculous, and sublime.
Aerosmith, "Falling in Love is Hard on the Knees"
The cheekily titled debut single from Aerosmith's controversial Nine Lives album (yes, at one point Aerosmith was capable of things like "controversy") is either a testament to the towering brilliance of all things Bay or a criminal work of gaudy excessiveness that detractors can point to and say, "See, that's everything that's wrong with him as a filmmaker and a man, in less than four minutes." Personally, we lean towards the former – it's a kind of Michael Bay thesis project, full of cascading lights whose origin is never identified, supermodels (in this case a lithe young Angie Everhart), a bright neon sign (that reads, simply: "LOVE"), some weird bondage fetish stuff, implied fellatio (supplied by the aforementioned lithe young Angie Everhart) and more smoke than a nineteenth century coal factory. But somehow all of these disparate elements work, brilliantly, even within the course of the truncated running time, in which images flash from one to the next so quickly you'll wonder if you've momentarily developed an epileptic condition. It's just as flashy as an average David Fincher video but without the soul and wicked playfulness. Bay is more garish but, sorry, he's just as good.
Wilson Phillips, "You Won't See Me Cry"
Michael Bay knows his film history, after all he's a Wesleyan University alum, and favorite student of its Film Studies Department head Jeanine Basinger (she does a commentary track on the "Pearl Harbor" DVD). Which is why it makes sense that the video for Wilson Phillips' "You Won't See Me Cry" is a direct reference to German Expressionist classic vampire film "Nosferatu" (check out the shaky silent film effect in the first few shots). He seems to cast the three girls as three Frau Hutters mooning at the window for their husband to return (though we don't remember Hutter wearing snug tank tops or playing jazzy sax solos in the original...). It's one of his most successful videos because he sticks with a concept and style, with only a few random WTF moments of color photography, raining inside and billowing curtains. It's restrained Bay, and it serves the song well.
Lionel Richie, "Do It To Me"
So, we fully acknowledge that this song is so cheesy it is the musical equivalent of the plastic nacho cheese that comes on movie theater nachos, and its video is so '90s it practically parodies every '90s video trope. Bay throws everything he has at this video for Richie's smooth jam: German Expressionist-esque set design, a parquet floor, black and white mixed with color photography, lace, candles, rippling water, lightning, blowing leaves, and a veritable textile factory's worth of billowing sheets. One of his favorite visual devices, the sheets billow and heave around women in high-waisted lacy half-thongs (the 90s!) who slither and writhe about in ecstasy (or something). This is the "Cabin in the Woods" of billowing sheets -- both loving celebration and gleeful deconstruction. The video even opens with a shot of a woman's face projected onto a billowing sheet, and then she dances around sexily in front of this projection. Honestly, if you can make it through the whole thing in one go, you are stronger than us, but if we're celebrating visual excess here (and we are), no one does it better than Bay.
Divinyls, "I Touch Myself"
While the recent death of Australian pop rock band The Divinyls' lead singer Chrissy Amphlett from breast cancer does slightly put a damper on the celebration of this video, it's still wholly brilliant and an essential piece of Bay's videography. While amazingly simple, it also showcases a number of visual tics/fetishes that would come to define Bay's work – a constantly moving camera, a jagged cut to black-and-white (something he utilized as late as the last "Transformers" movie), checkered floors, supermodels strutting around for no good reason. If anything, "I Touch Myself" is notable for how long each shot is – even though they don't last longer than ten seconds or so each, in Bay time this is forever. Also, Bay's decision to do this video runs in stark opposition to criticisms that his work is overtly sexist. Sexy, maybe. But sexist? Nah.

Williamson was born March 4, 1960, in St. Louis, MO and named Mykelti, which means "spirit" or "silent friend" in the Blackfoot language of his grandfather's ancestors. He was raised mainly in Los Angeles and loved acting and dancing from the time he was a child, first appearing in regional and church productions.

I continue to be impressed by our frosh and by the improved play of Williams, who today showed a great deal of grit on defense and hit a number of shots. Stuckey was very good on the boards and on defense in general, with steals and disruptions of Minn.'s offensive game. Prins demonstrated a very nice touch at the foul line, important because she is going to be there a lot. Poppens was a fierce competitor like last week and took the ball to the hoop with force. She has to work on her foul shooting, though, because, like Prins, she will get there frequently, I would guess. In general, she is relentless. What do others think?
I'm liking this team. If the shooting doesn't deteriorate drastically against better defenses, we should do well because I think this team has more hustle and muscle than prior teams. I think we have some real warriors out there on the court and sufficient depth to let them loose.
Will will win!
stuckey looks like one of those players that is going to drive other coaches crazy along with poppens who has some amazing footwork and just a nag for getting the ball in the hoop. also how about lacey having 8 assist 2 to and as a team only have 8 tos and the last one was on purpose (shot clock violation) im really liking the way this team looks
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Poppens is the hoped for surprise - giving us more points in the paint - diverting attention from Prins. Our front line, instead of a concern may be a strength. Oddly, there is concern about the 2 guard. Is there enough scoring threat there to keep a double off Lacey? To play three guards? We saw some more scoring from the other guards yesterday - good sign.
Weve got a pretty good football conference, and weve got a pretty good conference overall. Were still walking around with our heads held high and our chest out, about that. Paul Rhoads
I was impressed that they really pressed to have the newcomers to most of the scoring, smart coaching. Williams had a few amazing no look assists. Prins reminds me a lot of Welle with her footwork, good shooting, and soft hands, but need to strengthen up in the weight room a little, work on being a little lower in her stances(less upright), and work on rebounding. Poppens is a beast and not the typical finesse type player people are used to seeing from ISU, and that toughness is a welcome addition that will probably surprise a few teams this year. She kind of reminds me of Mellissa Jones at Baylor, tough as nails. I was a little disappointed with Schroll last night, but I think she just didn't find a rythym in the game.
Overall, I am not as worried about this season as I was at the start.

You raise an interesting question about how many guards we might play. I was thinking along these lines: if we had to go to a quicker, smaller lineup, we could play four guards, with Bolte playing the four instead of the three, which I believe she has the height and strength to do. The other three guards could be Aus, Williams, and either Denae or Cole. That would give us a speedy, good ball-handling, good defensive lineup without being too short, given that along with whomever was playing the five, you would still have two additional six-footers in Aus and Bolte. And who can worry about rebounders when Denae can grab 13 for us, as she did Sunday.
You would probably only play it this way under certain circumstances, but it is fun to think about the possibilities, right?
what is awesome about this team.. is there is not a single player that im not comfortable with in the game..
After watching the exhibition games, I'm very excited to see how this season turns out. Plenty of things to improve, but the newcomers seem to be pretty comfortable in their positions. They seem to really work hard fo each and every ball -- fits well with the veterans on the team.
I agree about Schroll, hopefully just a rough game. It didn't seem as though she was as focused or determined as exhibition game number one.
I'm feeling an exciting basketball season!

Hello, after adding a second DNS (2184.108.40.206) to my resolv.conf:
nameserver localhost # bind9 is installed
nameserver 184.108.40.206 # open dns server
I have the following problem in the zimbra.log:
May 20 07:08:22 vmx-ext-fi-1 postfix/lmtp[6997]: 5DBF32F2646: to=<username@mydomain>, relay=none, delay=34212, delays=34022/0.11/189/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to vmx-ext-fi-1.mydomain[188.8.131.52]:7025: Connection timed out)
188.8.131.52 is not my public IP address but it is open DNS!!
As a result mail is not delivered to mailboxes and all messages remain in the deferred queue.
What is to blame? my configuration or Open DNS?
I added the second DNS Server because with 'localhost' I cannot 'dig zen.spamhaus.org'. (I'd like to solve this issue too but I don't know how)
Is it correct to add a second DNS server in a ZCS installation?
What is the best practice?

"Nip/Tuck" wants to get a load off its chest, and FX has afforded its newest push-the-boundaries dramatic series a full 90 minutes to let it all out. It's a bit much. As the title suggests, the show focuses on two plastic surgeons. Lack of likable characters may be show's downfall, though "Nip/Tuck" has some promise.
"Nip/Tuck" wants to get a load off its chest, and FX has afforded its newest push-the-boundaries dramatic series a full 90 minutes to let it all out. It's a bit much. As the title suggests, the show focuses on two plastic surgeons — one's a playboy grabbing the material goods though missing any sense of familial ties, the other's a married man heading into mid-life and mid-career crisis. Lack of likable characters may be show's downfall, though if future hourlongs focus on ethical and personal dilemmas rather than pile them on as occurs in the pilot, "Nip/Tuck" has some promise.Where FX and the show's producers chose to push the boundaries is obvious: a bit of swearing; some explicit (for basic cable) casual sex; and the doctors, as younger men, smoking dope — imagine a racy "Eight Is Enough" script. It's the type of content that most likely will prevent a network crossover, not to mention that medical shows with multiple plotlines have flopped in the last two seasons. In the hopes of building an audience, FX has scheduled an encore week — Aug. 25-29 — for the first five episodes. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) have a thriving plastic surgery business in Miami — exactly what the two best friends wanted when they graduated medical school, one guesses, 15 years before. Dr. Troy is our playboy; Dr. McNamara, the family man with two children. Troy leads a simple, formulaic life: Operate, bill, party, have sex, spend money, repeat. McNamara starts to come apart at the seams on two fronts, starting with the question of his own morality after he takes drug money to operate on a known criminal who, it turns out, is also a child molester. Eventually, both doctors come to fear for their lives as local crime boss Silvio Perez (Geoffrey Rivas) intervenes. (Botox injections as a murder weapon. Interesting.) Far more serious are the concerns of his wife, Julia (Joely Richardson), and teenage son, Matt (John Hensley), both of whom feel ignored and distant from McNamara and, in their own ways, demand changes. She wants to attend med school and, more important, to feel appreciated and wanted; Matt wants a circumcision. McMahon's Troy is the character who will most likely attract viewers, especially women. He's suave and in control, seemingly capable of turning any situation into a big positive for himself. While it almost goes without saying that he's the one who gets the hot sex scenes with the twentysomething model, he's also the reassuring presence for the married woman concerned about the beauty of her body. When Troy gets angry, it's visceral and fully in character; Ryan Murphy's script provides Troy with clearly delineated moral and business boundaries. Conversely, Walsh has to put McNamara into a quick spiral; with so much weighing on him, his reactions to problems come out of left field. If the pilot allowed us to see McNamara solely as a fit surgeon working for the "good life" and then used the second seg to explore his crumbling home, audience would develop a greater compassion for his inner struggles. Truth be told, McNamara just seems like a guy in need of a vacation. Richardson's Julia grows both assertive and nostalgic over the course of the pilot. Female auds may connect with her pain caused by compromise and sacrifice that have had little payoff in her life. As viewers enter the McNamara household, divorce appears the only logical solution. Murphy's direction solidly drives the emotional swings, from hot and bothered to vile and upsetting. Music has its overbearing moments and could use some toning down.

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Due to snowstorm, my parents likely not coming, unless my some miracle highways become unclosed. I will have at least one ticket, possibly two more, for a total of 3 available. Second Row of Balcony Corners. Excellent Location. ISU Fans Preferred. Willing to take offers, for (1), Pair, and All (3). Taking offers until 2 pm via Cyclone Fanatic's e-mail or private message, no responses will be made until after that time, so make your best offer. Want to have confirmation from offerers by 3 pm (please include your email address, phone # in offer) that they will pick up & pay, to hold the tickets for them.
Pick up in Ames required by 5 pm, Cash Payment only.
Thanks. Again, Cyclone Fans preferred.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
The View From Mrs. Sundberg's Window
The Journey Changes You
April 2, 2013
Listened to the show Saturday and it was not bad. The one time of the day I felt relaxed. Made a turkey for dinner, and some green bean hotdish and mashed potatoes and cranberries and rolls and stuffing. For dessert, strawberry shortcake. Why turkey when the ham was on its way Sunday? Well, the turkey was small -- 13 lbs -- a back up meal from Christmas vacation that never got made. So I threw it in on Saturday, and was that ever wonderful. Kind of a last hurrah for winter, and comfort food, and gravy.
Of course, I'm trying to clean up the house, too, for spring, that kind of rush where you want to use up what you have, clean out the shelves and cupboards and drawers, and start packing away the winter things. Plus, I'm taking off Thursday morning for Ireland, ten days of travel, and I've been busy baking up a storm for Mr. S and the kids. Not that they can't take care of themselves. But, for some odd reason, it will feel much better getting on that plane knowing the fridge is full of good things, and the garage has been swept, the laundry caught up, the Easter bunnies and baskets put away. And so on. Type A, maybe. But it works for me.
My favorite thing about traveling to another place is the journey of it all. Not the "there" but the getting there and being there and leaving there to visit the next place. And, while you are there, taking in the landscape -- the scents, the people, the sounds, the food, how it all feels. So, Ireland, yes -- and getting there, and finding our way from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, and what to order from the menu, and where to wander, and the feeling of leaving, and then remembering. And feeling, somehow, changed. Hard to place a finger on it, but I think it's like that. You visit a place far away, or a place you have never been and, somehow, the journey changes you. Just a bit. I like that. It's like a scenic overlook on the road of your life. You pull over and pause to really see and feel a place, and that's a trip in itself. Sure is.
I've made this recipe twice in the last week, using cinnamon bread and a dash of nutmeg, and it was eaten both hot and cold, plain and with syrup. Good rainy weather food, I say, from my dear friend Laurel, who is in her 80s and knows how to bake like all getout.
Sweet Laurel's Quick Bread Pudding
2 cups bread cubes
2 eggs, slightly beaten
⅓ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
⅛ tsp. salt
2 cups milk, scalded
Place bread cubes in lightly greased 1 qt casserole. Combine eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt. Gradually add scalded milk. Pour over bread cubes in casserole, sprinkle with cinnamon. Place in pan of hot water in oven. Bake at 325 for approx 1 hour, or until silver knife comes out clean. Add raisins if desired.
Good pudding.

The following code will return an array of PHP Activerecord Objects:
$book = Book::find('all');
Assuming the program is aware of the order of books I can continue and update the attributes of the books and save them to the database as follows:
$book[0]->title = 'my first book';
$book[0]->author = 'Danny DeVito';
$book[4]->title = 'Nice Title';
in order to save the above I would have to invoke the
->save() method on each object
Is there a better way to do this? built-in PHP ActiveRecord function that saves all members of a given array of objects, or based on an association?
Assuming the original title of
$book[4]above was already 'Nice Title', would the
->save()method consider
$book[4]changed and continue with the database save?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- It's been a busy day for the NFL's Jaguars. They fired coach Jack Del Rio, replaced him on an interim basis with defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, signed general manager Gene Smith to a new three-year contract extension and announced the franchise was being sold to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan.
Del Rio's job security had been tenuous since owner Wayne Weaver said the coach needed to make the playoffs to secure a 10th season in Jacksonville. The Jags' loss to Houston on Sunday dropped them to 3-8.
Del Rio leaves with a 69-73 record, including a 1-2 mark in two playoff appearances
The timing of the move makes sense. The Jags are struggling to sell tickets, and host a Monday night game against a 4-7 San Diego team that's lost six straight.
Khan was a candidate to buy controlling interest in the St. Louis Rams last year.

MONTREAL, Quebec – The Montreal Impact is back in first place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 5-0 win over the Houston Dynamo, Saturday night, in front of a sellout crowd of 20,801 spectators at Stade Saputo. Marco Di Vaio, with a brace, Felipe, Jeb Brovsky and Andrea Pisanu scored in the win. Felipe and Justin Mapp added two assists.
The Impact is now six points in front of Houston with 24 games played for both teams and two points in front of Kansas City, which lost 1-0 to Chicago, Friday.
The Impact opened the scoring in the 35th minute. Midfielder Justin Mapp, positioned just outside the 18-yard-box, played through Marco Di Vaio on the right side. The Impact's DP faked a right-footed shot, cut back to his left and hit the far post top corner with a bender.
Mapp set up the second Impact goal just two minutes later when he switched the ball from the right corner of the box to the opposite side to Felipe. The Brazilian, near the edge of the box, used a stutter step to get the defender off balance and placed one with the inside of his foot calmly towards the opposite post.
In the 58th minute, Designated Player Hernan Bernardello's corner from the left side was deflected by Houston's Brad Davis before it fell to Impact defender Jeb Brovsky, who scored his first career goal at Stade Saputo, by making a run to the far post to tap the ball in.
Di Vaio managed to get his second of the game in the 71st minute when on a two-on-one break, midfielder Patrice Bernier faked right and played a lateral ball to Di Vaio who put it home into an empty net. Di Vaio is now first in the league with 15 goals.
In the 91st minute, second half substitute Andrea Pisanu scored his first goal in Impact uniform when midfielder Felipe put him behind the Houston defence. Pisanu placed the ball perfectly passed Hall on his right side with a calm finish.
Goalkeeper Troy Perkins registered his 7th shutout of the season, finishing the game with five saves.
Head coach Marco Schällibaum served the first of a two game ban following an incident against D.C. United last Saturday.
This was the 5th of six games played in front of more than 20,000 people at Stade Saputo.
Post-game comments
"I think if we look at our game today, it was important to manage our team well this week with Wednesday's game," said Impact assistant coach Mauro Biello, who earned his first win on the sidelines. "We saw tonight a fresh attitude on the field, lots of play on our side and a big win for us."
"It's momentum we can't waste right now, going into Philadelphia it's going to be a tough road match," said Brovsky. "Putting in this 90 minute complete performance was something that we really needed. Shutting the door on the team like that was really important."
"We've already played well this season, but this was the first time we played well the whole 90 minutes," added Di Vaio. "Today was a very big game for us and we were very concentrated. We know we have a good team and we also have something more than the other teams."
Upcoming game
The Impact travels to Philadelphia to face the Union on Saturday, August 31 at 7:30pm.

I enjoy reading Armond White. Let me qualify that: under the right circumstances, White can be insightful, as in a recent article he wrote for Out Magazine on Dwayne Johnson's multiracial Hercules, his reviews of "Love Is Strange" and "Get On Up," or most of his writings on Steven Spielberg. Granted, under the wrong circumstances, he's deeply frustrating, as his insight gives way to bullying attacks on critics who disagree with him and misrepresentations of their reviews to further his own viewpoint (e.g. claiming none of "Boyhood's" supporters cite the Antoine Doinel or "Up" films, even though most of them do).
But frankly, sometimes I even enjoy his shit-stirring (see: his positive but still caustic review of "The Lego Movie"), which can veer towards weird performance art. He might be a jerk (OK, he's almost definitely a jerk), but he's a wildly entertaining jerk. That's why his latest article, "Across the Ungreat Divide," is such a disappointment to me.
In the article, White makes the case for "20 films listed here effectively destroyed art, social unity, and spiritual confidence." Hyperbolic to the point of insanity? Yes. Clickbait? Definitely. Another part of White's ongoing belief that everyone who disagrees with him is both a toady and out to silence him? Arguably. None of those are the problem with the article though. My complaint is that it's all too brief. Here are a few samples:
"12 Years a Slave" (2013) distorted the history of slavery while encouraging and continuing Hollywood's malign neglect of slavery's contemporary impact.
"Knocked Up" (2007) — Judd Apatow's comedy of bad manners attacked maturity and propriety.
"Lincoln" (2012) — Spielberg succumbs to Tony Kushner's limousine-liberal cynicism to valorize Obama-era political chicanery.
I've read most of White's full reviews of the films, which also include "There Will Be Blood," "The Dark Knight," "The Social Network," and "The Hangover." Some of his views I actually agree with ("Precious," included here, is the "sociological horror show" he pegged it as in his review). Some I strongly disagree with but can see why the films rubbed him the wrong way ("12 Years a Slave"). Some of his cases here seem insane, like his argument that "WALL-E" is "Nihilism made cute for children of all ages who know nothing about cultural history or how to sustain it" ("WALL-E" nihilistic? Children should know how to sustain cultural history?). I'm also curious as to how non-events like "Ocean's Twelve" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" could have been so powerful as to destroy the whole concept of art, given how little they've been canonized as White seems to argue.
But here's the thing: I want to hear those arguments. White doesn't elaborate on any of these or even link to his earlier reviews. Most of these one-sentence dismissals are Tweet-friendly, theses to cases that he doesn't actually make. They're all peeks inside the mind of Armond, a look at his politics and personal beliefs that he never explicates. I want the full look, however much his arguments might end up annoying me. I want to know why these films, above all others, are so abhorrent to him (and it can't just be big targets, or else he wouldn't have selected middleweight prestige pics like "Good Night, and Good Luck." and "Frost/Nixon"). I can't help but be fascinated by the man and the critic, so an impassioned, even infuriating and hypocritical essay on the films that he claims destroyed art would be valuable, or at very least interesting.
Hell, he links to that kind of essay in the article, in which he makes a case that in 2004, the divide between liberal "Fahrenheit 9/11" fans and conservative "The Passion of the Christ" supporters broke film culture. The essay is often irritating, but it gives a full idea of how White views the world differently from just about everyone else. This is mostly just Armond for Dummies, an introduction to who he is and what he's about for any movie lover who might not be aware at this point. And at this point, are there any of those that exist?

Overall, the results of the latest Manpower Employment Survey suggest that U.S. employers plan to increase hiring after the new year. Twenty-four percent of the 16,000 U.S. employers surveyed say they anticipate an increase in hiring activity for the first quarter. That is a huge increase over this same time last year.
"It looked like a lot of the companies we interviewed on the national level are going to have an increase in the 1st quarter of 2005," said Tonya Hancock of Manpower's Meridian office.
That may be good news for the nation as a whole, but on the local level, the survey tells a different story.
Only 10 percent of employers in the Meridian area plan to hire more employees during the first quarter of '05, whereas 23 percent surveyed plan to cut back on their payrolls.
"This survey was conducted in October before the election and I think a lot of people were uncertain of where the country was going to go at that point," Hancock said. "With the uncertainty there, (it) may be people were more conservative."
This year's survey is in stark contrast to last year when 27 percent of Meridian employers planned to increase staff, while 17 percent had planned cutbacks. This year, only 10 percent of Meridian employers plan to hire more staff, making Meridian's employment outlook one of the worst in the nation.

If you try to put the power and load of a current 2013 MotoGP bike through a steel trellis chassis it will be pumping and bucking all around unable to contain itself... You could calm things down by adding more and more steel but then you'll be too heavy...
Next year when they take away another liter of fuel Ducati is going to start to be even more awful. Unless Audi makes their own motorcycle there is no way Ducati has the resources to compete with Honda and Yamaha when the rules keep mutating like this.
MotoGP is my favorite sport.. but if i was the CEO of Ducati, it would be off to WSBK for me.

For years, people in South Shreveport have been pushing for a school.
"The community saw a huge need for it," said Ann Maxey with the Montessori School.
The Montessori School announced plans back on July 24 to open a second location in Provenance.
"This area of town has grown quite a bit recently. A lot of neighborhoods are popping up out here in South Shreveport and it's convenient," Maxey said.
And, prospective parents agree.
"It's difficult as a working parent to necessarily make it to the other location, so I think it's wonderful that they're offering this location," Sarah Baker said. It's a great option for us."
Baker has a one-year old child and just recently moved to the Provenance neighborhood. She said she thinks the Montessori school would be a good fit
"An earlier start kids can get, the better," Baker said.
Torri Palms-Moore is on the Montessori School Board. She attended Montessori when she was growing up. Now, her two children are following in her footsteps.
"I understand the importance of education," Palms-Moore said. "These skills need to be honed in on and cemented very early."
Maxey said their focus right now is to have the Provenance enrolled kids go to the main campus once they hit first grade.
She also said construction is set to begin in October or November, and they expect the new Montessori school to be open for the 2015 school year.

Looks like you are off to a great start. The bump maps looks pretty good to me. Look forward to seeing it progress.
I followed Arsheesh's Eriond Tutorial on this. I used the radial gradient/solid noise clouds method presented in the wisemoon revision of RobA's artistic regional map to generate the landmass. So far this is the bump map, and I'm working on the climate colors.
Looks like you are off to a great start. The bump maps looks pretty good to me. Look forward to seeing it progress.
I like the simplicity of the map. Its a great start, with a nearly circlelar Island. Are there any more small island coming?
This is beautiful! Can't wait to see where it goes.
This cavern is below all, and is the foe of all. It is hatred, without exception. This cavern knows no philosophers; its dagger has never cut a pen. Its blackness has no connection with the sublime blackness of the inkstand. Never have the fingers of night which contract beneath this stifling ceiling, turned the leaves of a book nor unfolded a newspaper.
I really like how your rivers turned out. That is excellent.
One thing I've noticed about this method in my own use of it is that the embossing can be a little over-much. I softened my edges on the shores up a bit by selecting the land mask, shrinking the selection, feathering it a bit, and applying a blur to the selected edges on the bump map layer. I softened up the rivers a bit by selecting the river mask, feathering that, and applying a low-opacity medium gray soft airbrush to the bump map in those areas. I personally liked the look better afterwards, seemed less artificial. Just a suggestion. Don't be afraid to deviate from tutorial instructions and experiment a bit. You might surprise yourself.
Otherwise it looks great so far. I've grown to like this method. Makes impressive-looking maps with relative ease.
You have done an excellent job!!!

Bug 52047 – Integrate Outlook 2010 with ZCB/BES
I read the release notes for ZCB 6.5.1, but bug 52047 is not stated in there. What can we conclude of all this? Does it work? Did those changes (for Outlook 2010) made it to ZCB 6.5.1? The latest admin guide for ZCB still only mentions Outlook 2007SP2... Am I missing something obvious?
BES Express 5.0.2 + Outlook 2010 + ZCB 6.5.1 = Sucess ?
Product Portal for the target release date (it is a target not a fixed date and may be subject to change). The fact the bug is marked as 'Fixed' means that it has been resolved but it will still need to go through QA before being released.
Will a new version of ZCB be released jointly with Zimbra 7 ? Or will the present ZCB 6.5.1 work directly with Zimbra 7 and Outlook 2010 (I suppose not)?

You can always find older copies (with valid licenses) on eBay.
Some people upgrade to the latest versions all willy-nilly and don't want to loose their shirts in the process. So they pass the software on to recoup some of those dollars; you will find some crazy deals out there. Remember:
One of the first items sold on eBay was a broken laser pointer for $14.83 ==> everyone (in the world) needs something (in the world).
Shop safely. I hope this doesn't get me in trouble :P

Kongregate leads Android Games of the Week
This week was huge in Android games, with GameStop's release of its Kongregate Arccade app, then its abrupt prohibition from the Market. The move shook the mobile game industry, making us wonder about the direction of extended game platforms (and especially Google's long-term intentions). Fortunately, there's plenty of other new games to play this week, with some big name updates to check out as well.
Top players
GameStop made a precedent-setting release this week, launching the Kongregate Arcade app as a portal to its hundreds of Flash-based games. The game platform made another first—being the first to get kicked out of the Android Market. We're not sure if the Kongregate Arcade app will ever return, but you can still access the app through its website, and through GetJar's independent platform as well.
Dungeon Defenders: First Wave has gotten its first major content update, bringing furry pet friends into the game, along with new challenges around your missions. The big news with this release, though, is the cross-platform play with iPhone gamers, thanks to GameSpy integration. This Android RPG is currently $2.99 and well worth the price.
Another update this week was for Fruit Ninja, which now supports "arcade" mode. iPhone gamers have had this update for some time, so it's great to see it make its way to the Android Market. The new "arcade" mode has fresh gameplay options, complete with bonuses to collect and items to unlock. This fruit-slashing game costs 99 cents.
There's a new version of Alchemy in town. Creative Mobile has recently launched Alchemy ~ Genetics, a fun little twist on a classic casual arcade game. Start with four animals, and combine their genes (in lieu of elements), uncovering the 200 or so creatures. It's an amusing theme for this free game, since you never quite know what you're going to get.
New guys
From a scene right out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Candy Farm brings you into a famous industry of timing and organization. It's your job to get the factory candy from the wrapper to the gift box, which is color-coded accordingly. Things can get tricky, as each level becomes increasingly challenging. Best of all, this Android game is free.
Another challenging puzzler is Plumber, which takes a simple concept and turns it into complex gameplay. Rotate a plethora of pipe pieces to form a path for fluid to safely flow from one end of the screen to the other. Like a maze, you build as you go, working out the best solution for each level. This Android game is free.
Glow Hockey has made quite an impression its first week on the market, mixing Air Hockey with something that looks like it came straight from a TRON script. This futuristic twist on hockey is still a game of geometry, picking the best angles that will land your puck in the goal. This free Android game offers multiple modes of gameplay, level selection and more.
The climbers
Wheelz is a competitive game with a monster-sized objective: drive your monster truck across various terrains, filled with obstacles that only a skilled driver could take on. These challenges are timed, and your scores shared globally. You can make your own levels as well, making this a fun game for physics lovers. The full version of this game will cost you just over $2.00 in the Android Market.
Dead Runner is an eerie but intense experience, setting you afoot in a randomly-created forest. You're being pursued in this misty scene, using your accelerometer to steer your runner in one direction or another. Hit a tree, and you'll slow down. Crash into it fast enough, and you'll have a gravestone to avoid during your next run. This Android game costs $1.99.
HollyWood Empire turns you into a movie producer, signing four actors and actresses to a single film. The goal is to make a blockbuster, but just as in real life, the wrong celebrity combo could also make for a bust. But the show must go on! The more you play this free game, the more features you'll unlock. Gain access to better actors and movies, share high scores with fellow Facebook players, and more.

ON AN ON – And I Was A Boy From School (Hot Chip Cover)
Born from the ashes of Chicago Indie band Scattered Trees, ON AN ON have started their 2013 off strong with the release of their debut LP, Give In, this past January. Their sound is reminiscent of Monsters of Folk and Broken Social Scene, which isn't too surprising with Dave Newfield on production duty. The band recently did a take of Hot Chip's "And I Was A Boy From School" for Portland's KZME which is pretty easy on the ears. Check it out.
ON AN ON's Give In is out now via Roll Call.

My blogging colleague at Living in Paradise, who describes herself as "the Filipina wife of a warm and loving American who has decided to come and live with me in Paradise", recently posted an interesting post regarding an important upcoming decision in her life and asked for comments.
You know me, I write long, so I decided to borrow her words and expound a bit on my views here, because the question at hand is one a huge number of Filipinos and their foreign spouses face every year here in the Philippines.
Many people have a quick and ready response for this sort of decision … they are "hard over" on going or staying. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the decision is seldom as cut and dried as many make it out to be.
Here are some of my friend's issues and my thoughts on them. I'll but her words in blue to make it a little easier to follow the conversation here. And the reason I am taking the time to do this is, it's certainly not just lawyers here in the Philippines who get faced with very similar decisions.
Fork in the Road
July is a significant month for us, it is the time we re-activate our pending spouse visa application with US Immigration. Our petition has been approved a year ago, but we stopped at the point where we need to pay the Choice of Agent fee and the Affidavit of Support Fee – $475.
Right now, I have to say I really am 50-50 with pushing through with the spouse visa application…. I have eight years of practice of law already in this country, and I am turning 40 next year (*blush*)….
Well it's completely understandable that you are going to be hesitant in this decision, it's a big one. As I said above, the people who come up with snap answers, "Go by all means", or "Stay here, you'd be throwing too much away." are both wrong, because they are not considering all aspects.
One thing that comes to mid immediately is, this is not a 'zero sum" decision that absolutely has to be made before a certain date in July. If you were to abandon the application, you don't abandon the right to petition again in the future, so at worst you are out a few hundred dollars already invested. You still retain the right to start over in the future.
Secondly, if you deride to push through with the application, there is nothing irrevocable involve with that, except what may occur with you present job. A few things which immediately come to mind are:
What are the provisions within your current agency for a leave of albescence or some sort of sabbatical? Seems to me if they gave you leave to study law in the US they might be very amenable.
What are your reemployment rights should you resign your post now? I take it you are a career employee. Under US civil service rules, once an employee has three years of service, she/he may resign but has lifetime reemployment rights. Not a guarantee to return to their old job, but rights to put their name on the list for any opening they are qualified for in the future … so would you really be completely giving up a career here, or would it be more like putting things on hold?
… So I wonder if I even want the hassle of starting over again in a place I have never been in…
This boils down in essence to your own personal comfort zone. Is moving to a place you have never been before a hassle, or an opportunity? It's both, of course. I guess what you really have to ask yourself is, if someone gave you a trip to Disneyland, would you go on the rides, or would you sit on the sidelines watching everyone else having fun?
… Aside from that, I have just started really living my life – with my husband. I wonder if I want to continue that life with so many unknown variables – a different job and a different country. Here in the Philippines I am in my element and my credentials are fairly good enough to land me a comfortable job…
Well, again, we all get the gift of one life … you can only live each day in one way. Is your "comfort zone" more important than exploring what you might be able to become? My wife and I have talked frankly on this more than once. As you know, she went to the US with me and now we are back in the Philippines. She was a junior management type with a very large firm here in the Philippines and there is no doubt she gave up a lot career-wise.
Much to her surprise, the old firm and many others have been "after her" since we returned … she thought her age and the fact she had left the Philippines was a negative factor, but experience so far seems to prove the opposite.
But her view is that she is still very glad she went to the US and lived and experienced life in the there.
And from a sexist standpoint, life in the Philippines versus life in the US is way harder for the wife than the husband. Heck I can see this easily even as a not all that supportive husband.
Last February when we were in the US, I caught myself standing next to a huge display of party trays and ready-made salads in a supermarket, saying to myself. "I gave up this up"? I only barely contained myself … I wanted to shout to people walking by with frowns on their faces, "Wake up people, look at what you have here, you're truly living in a cornucopia of riches!" And my wife does most of the food shopping, so you can imagine how she feels I'm sure.
As a man, I'm well treated by my whole family … I even have to rebel at times over being "babied". As a woman, the difference in being a homemaker here in the Philippines or in the US is night and day. Life in the Philippines for the wife, even those who don't work outside the home, is way, way more difficult … even a "mere man" can see that.
If my wife didn't have family back here I doubt we would have even come back to the Philippines … or maybe I'd be here by myself while she went on working in the States 😉
I would have to respectfully submit, madam attorney, that you have no idea what a "comfortable" job is unless you have experienced both sides of the "pond".
… Aside from the fear of the effect of a recession to a newly arrived immigrant…
There is no doubt that being an immigrant makes you different. This can not be ignored. However, based on the experiences my wife and I shared when I brought her to the US, I don't think they were overall any really big thing. I can also relate to this in the reverse sense.
There is no doubt that I am a"foreigner" here. It is an issue, but hardly an overwhelming one. I think also it is fair to point out,the the differences in being an immigrant to the US and an immigrant to the Philippines are huge.
In the US, aside from voting (a vastly over-rated right considering the caliber of politicians in most elections), you are virtually a full-fledged citizen as soon as you enter with a visa and get a Social Security card that says "Employment Eligible". Want to buy a house, take the bar, study at any school, etc., hey, the road is yours. In the US there are virtually no barriers (aside from some areas of public office and government employment) that are restricted by citizenship.
In the Philippines, no matter how long I were to live here, there are a great many options open to a Filipino that
will never be open to me. the opportunities for an immigrant in the USA are huge (perhaps that's one of the reasons so many folks seem to want to go there 😉 )
As far as "The Recession", which you have mentioned several times before, I don't think it should loom so large in your thoughts. There are a lot of unemployed folks in the US. There are a lot of folks in the US who paid inflated prices for homes and entered into mortgages that had ridiculous escalation clauses that have now come into effect. So it's certainly right to say there are folks in difficulty.
But you and your husband already have a source of income, so even though I understand you want more, you certainly will not be destitute. You also aren't saddled with "too much house" or overwhelming credit card debts, student loans and huge car payments that are the cause of much of the current US pain.
And to call a spade a spade? The more foreclosures, lawsuits, motions for appeal, replacement mortgages, deeds of trust, title work, etc., the more work there is in the legal profession. Not to mentioned the hundreds of thousands of other immigrants trying to get into the US legally who need representation.
Actually in many ways this is a great time to enter the US. You can negotiate really good housing deals, get great bargains on already depreciated repossessed vehicles and so on. And during my month in Florida recently? My thought was, "what recession?" Had to stand in line in every store, the cash registers were whirring away. Went into a computer store several times and had to look for a salesman to sell me a computer, they were all always busy with other, buying customers. Went to McDonalds to try some super-duper new Angus Burger they were featuring and had to take a number and stand in line to order and then to get my burger, at over $8 USD for a single burger. Recession? What recession?
That's more words than my patient readers usually sit still for, so I'll continue next post. Meanwhile, be of good cheer … you really can't make a 'wrong' decision in this case.

Overview: A multitude of choices, including many dining options, add up to a very attractive vacation package, highly suitable for families with children, in a floating leisure center that provides ample facilities for enjoyment.
Re your comment about the mysterious extras on your taxi trip in Barcelona. We have recently done a similar journey and they add on an extra charge for each piece of luggage! So be warned for the future.
We paid 32 euros each way from the airport to the port and back,but there were only 2 of us,how many of youmthey charge extra for 4 or more.
Had a similar taxi experience. The metered fare from our hotel was just under 13 euros. When I gave the driver 15 euros he informed me that the fare was 20 euros! When I protested he explained that there were surcharges to enter and exit the cruise terminal. The term 'rip-off' comes to mind!
Agree but hey the marKeting is working " I realised how much I was missing!!!" that is exactly what the cocktail party is all about Next time you go for deck 14.
You are right and wrong. Yes - it's a marketing ploy and no - I won't be going up there next time because it's far too expensive for me. But it was a nice touch and I appreciated the opportunity.
Did you have any trouble to get on the hydrofoil to sorrento or did you go early to miss the crowds. Do they go quite frequently and how long does it take. Glad you had an enjoyable cruise we are going on 11th October 2009 and havent sailed on the Norwegian Gem before.
The jetfoil leaves at 9:00am and the return is at 1:40pm so you get about 4 hours to savour the delights of Sorrento. The boats are very INFREQUENT and if you miss the early one the next is at 11:00am so you are snookered. It's 11 euros each person each way. Please don't miss the FOREIGNERS CLUB. It's 50 yards down the road which you have to walk down leading to the little dock so you can't miss it (on the right through a wide gateway and nice garden). The terrace is simply wonderful with views for which to DIE! I'll post some photos on the site right now. Your bottle of Sorrento limoncello will be snaffled on your return to the Gem and you get it back on the last night of the cruise. Have great time and please report back via this site.
Do you have a question about a cruise that you are planning to go on? Ask your question here and visitors to the site, who have real cruise experience, will share their answers with you.

Ben wrote, "I'm a guy and I've been following your RSS feed for about two years now to get gift ideas for my sister, mother, and girlfriend/future wife. I've noted that you guys give shopping advice and I sure could use your help. I'm getting married at the end of July and need advice on women's underwear. I have never bought lingerie before but I'd like to pick out a few special things for my bride to be as we start our future together. I am looking for some ideas for something sexy, but not kinky, special, but still practical. Basically something she can wear most any day but would be nicer than her Hanes/Jockey stuff. My fiancee has given me her measurements (36B, 30, 40) and I have a general idea of what she likes but I don't know where to start (other than the obvious brands i.e Victoria's Secret). She likes comfortable stuff and has a kind of girl-next-door style (i.e. nothing red or ridiculous like this). She describes herself as "pear-shaped" and has warned me that most lingerie sets won't work for her because of the way women's clothes are sized... don't even get me started on the arbitrary numbers for women's clothes. I do know that these are among her favorite panties but she doesn't like much else here. So what do you think? Can you help?"
Ben, that's really sweet! We love that you want her to feel comfortable and gorgeous! If she doesn't like standard lingerie like teddies, a sweet chemise (see #s 2 and 4) or matching bra and panty sets (most are available as separates, so you can pick & choose sizes) should be right up her alley. We tried to select stuff that was sexy, but not boom-chicka-wow-wow-so-not-her. Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding, and here's to many years of happiness!
1 - Rosy Sublime Moulded Padded Bra & Sublime Thong ($76 bra, $36 panty)
2 - Honeydew Intimates Lace Trim Babydoll ($38, in 4 colors)
3 - Simone Perele 'Romance' Demi Bra & Thong ($87 bra, $45 thong)
4 - Veronica Rose Chemise ($74)
5 - Elle MacPherson Intimates "Sheer Ribbons" Underwire Contour Bra & Hipster Panty ($48 bra, $26 panty)
6 - Huit 'Vertige" Bra & Panties ($69 bra, $49 panties)
7 - Janet Reger Nancy T-Shirt Bra and Tanga Panty ($157 bra, $78 panty)

What a sweet guy! I cannot imagine a non-perv (ok - non-playboy type) buying lingerie for his love. And he's so sensitive and thorough! Great catch, I'll betcha! :)(:
Thanks, these ideas helped out a lot!
There' a lingerie website that actually does most of the work for you when buying a gift. You just take the man-friendly quiz and it automatically gives you items to choose from. It's www.pantiesrequired.com. They have tons of different items to choose from. Hope this helps.

Why Side Aches Are Such a Pain in the Abs
There's no doubt that you've been walking or running along, and all of a sudden you get a stabbing sensation in your side that makes you stop in your tracks. Anyone that exercises has experienced a side ache, and anyone that's had one wants to know how to avoid them.
While digestional cramping during a run can be caused by any number of things, including pre-run drinks or meals, side aches are caused by one thing: an insufficient warm up.
When you exercise, blood flow is shunted from your abdomen, where most of it usually hangs out, and is redirected to your exercising muscles which are usually your arms and legs. This shunting is called vasoconstriction, and when it is done too abruptly, that lack of blood can cause pain in your abdomen. Warming up allows your blood to slowly redistribute to your exercising muscles to avoid such a fast and painful stitch in your side.
