Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.42 / 5.00 6,205 ViewsThis is the second file (Part B) of Throwback the Duck Episode 1 on NewGrounds.com.
Thank you all for your enthusiastic support of the Throwback the Duck animated adventure series. The feedback for Episode 0 A 'Back Story was very strong and encouraging. We are deeply grateful for that.
Throwback the Duck Episode 1 picks up exactly where Episode 0 left off. As a newly hired journalist for NintendoNow, Throwback stumbles onto a dream job of classic gaming journalism. Expect an intimate look into the whimsical world that is the mind of Throwback the Duck. Despite his cheesy lines and disjointed interaction with those around him, Throwback's oddball charm has a way of dazzling many of the friends he encounters...except for a cynical little office helper.
Then there's the all important gaming factor. A familiar classic gaming face makes a cameo in this episode. I'm curious to know how many of you recognize or remember this character. His story foreshadows many of the themes explored in the cartoon series.
Production notes: Due to flash file size constraints, we were forced to split Episode 1 into two files. Hence we have Part A and B of Episode 1. Please watch the show in that order to fully enjoy it.
Also, you'll notice a subtle transition in art styles during the episode. Arthur uses a style know as "straight vs. curve" near the end. This is an evolving work, folks.
And with that said, please enjoy the show. Again, we look forward to your continued support of the series. Four more exciting episodes await you before Season 1 draws to an end.

Very Good.
This is about TV quality; you should create s'more episodes, put them into a profile, and then submit them to some TV station.
Also, to Theomylad (person before me): Mario's been around longer than link; of COURSE he's over Link's poster.
...however, Samus would have been over both of them by your method, due to her pure awesomeness. </fanboy>
Two problems (since this series has little to complain about):
Ya put the Mario poster over the Link poster!
and you kicked the dog iin the moat :'(
but still great.
How could i not remember!
Bubsy is a classic game! i think there were two games.....i can't remember. it was out around the time of the 1990s? when nintendo was about to release the snes and around the sega genesis's heydays! Ah those were the good old days! .....pretty nerdy huh? can't wait for more episodes!! keep up the great work!

Steamboat Springs Mainstreet Steamboat Springs Director Tracy Barnett was determined but nervous to have Mainstreet "go zero," a term that meant a lot of work to train visitors and vendors on reducing their waste at the 2011 Mainstreet Farmers Markets.
But at 2 p.m. June 11, Barnett said, "I can't believe this" when she looked into the 30-gallon trash can and saw it nearly empty. All four recycling and compost bins were full, bringing the event to a 90 percent diversion rate for the 2,000 people attending the market.
The Zero Waste Initiative, in its third summer, is the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council's largest program and depends on a group effort to reduce the waste at local events. Going zero is easy, but not without the volunteers, partners and education it requires.
First, the Zero Waste Team relies heavily on volunteers for watching the bins and educating the event participants. If the bins are left unattended, the efforts are lost in a sea of contaminated and confused waste. We simply haven't all been trained yet. But we will be.
Next, Steamboat wouldn't have recycling without Waste Management and Yampa Valley Recycles. Thanks to our single-stream system here, plastics Nos. 1 to 7, aluminum, tin, glass, paper and cardboard can be recycled. After the event, the recycled items are sorted at the local facility, shipped to Denver to be sorted again and then shipped to facilities nationally and internationally to be made into new products.
Last, Twin Enviro Services has an industrial-sized compost facility in Milner that turns the compostable materials into rich soil, or "Twin Grow." Food waste and compostables are piled into aerated rows that heat to a minimum of 131 degrees for three days before aging for several months. This nutrient-rich compost has been approved by local master gardeners, who have used the donated amendment at the Community Roots Garden, sponsored by the city of Steamboat Springs. Locals can pick up truckloads of the compost in Milner or buy it in smaller quantities from the Harvest of Thanksgiving.
The success of this initiative is quantifiable by the reduction
of waste. Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. "went zero" in 2009, reducing its waste from several Dumpsters per week to two Dumpsters per month. The Free Summer Concert Series "went zero" in 2010, reducing one to two Dumpsters of waste per event to one 10-gallon trash bag. Steamboat's public schools "went zero" in 2011 and educated the students about composting, recycling and "upcycling" with regular education through YVSC's Sustainable Schools program.
The production and reduction of cost of compostable plates, straws, spoons, etc. is a key support for the Zero Waste Initiative. Not only have these items reduced in cost by 25 percent in just two years, they also are easier to find. Restaurants buy their compostable ware from companies such as Sysco and US Foods, and now locals and smaller event coordinators can buy items by the sleeve (instead of previously by the case) at Steve Green Co.
In addition to all of these valuable partners, YVSC also desperately relies on local funding, grants and donations to keep its programs intact: staff coordination, compostable items and compost pick-ups all cost money. To learn more about, volunteer for or donate to YVSC and the Zero Waste Initiative, visit www.yvsc.org, and consider "going zero" at your next event.
Andy Kennedy is the zero waste coordinator for the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council.

Case Conclusion Date: 08.24.2005
Practice Area: Divorce and separation
Outcome: Prevailed Against DCSS in Paternity Action
Description: After dismissing, without prejudice, a paternity case against John Doe based on blood test results, the DA pursued another man linked to Mother. Although blood tests confirmed that this man was in fact the biological father, he asserted that the Family Code Section 7540 marital presumption, which states that a child born during marriage is conclusively presumed to be the father of a child, precluded the court from establishing paternity. The court agreed, and the case was dismissed with prejudice against biological father. Thereafter, DCSS re-filed the paternity suit against John Doe asserting Family Code Section 7540. In opposing the paternity action, we argued that although Family Code Section 7540 is a conclusive presumption with only two statutory exceptions that did not apply in our case, as a matter of constitutional due process, the paternity action must be dismissed. Specfically, application of the presumption in this case did not further the underlying public policy of the presumption (i.e., preservation of a family unit); rather, application of the presumption would act as a "financial prophylactic for men who have affairs with married women." The court argeed and dismissed the paternity action with prejudice.

What Song is This?
In the close-up at his website, the brown leaves look like a pair of brown lips puckered for a kiss. That kiss and the guava's green leaves put me in mind of "Greensleeves," the famous, probably Elizabethan love song, perhaps about a promiscuous woman, maybe just a flirtatious one, that has new Christmassy lyrics in "What Child is This?" that we are hearing on the radio (and in stores, if we are the shopping type) this time of year.
Here are the lyrics to "Greensleeves."
And here are the lyrics to "What Child is This?"
I loved learning from Wikipedia that some people thought the song was written by Henry VIII to woo Anne Boleyn, which seems unlikely, historically, but sounds good as legend. My daughter is writing a research paper on Anne Boleyn for her Honors English class, so she's been immersed in that story and, at some point, I'd love to borrow Anne of The Thousand Days from the library and watch it with her. Anne is Genevieve Bujold! Oooh, it's also time to see Choose Me again, with Bujold as Dr. Nancy Love!
Oh, dear, it's a total Random Coinciday in the blog. And yet, somehow it all connects. For instance, speaking of Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded by her husband Henry, not such a nice guy in the long run, puts me in mind of yesterday's Split Pomegranate, for various reasons.
And now I have decorated the blog for Christmas, in red and green.

I first learned this tune as "Home in the Meadow", sung by Debbie Reynolds in the '62 movie, "How the West Was Won".
Away, Away
Come away with me
Where the grass grows wild, where the winds blow free
Away, Away
Come away with me
And I'll build you a home in the meadow
Come, Come
There's a wondrous land
For the hopeful heart, for the willing hand
Come, Come
There's a wondrous land
Where I'll build you a home in the meadow
The stars, the stars
Oh how bright they'll shine
On a world that the Lord must have helped design
The stars, the stars
Oh how bright they'll shine
On that home we will build in the meadow
Come, Come
There's a wondrous land
For the hopeful heart, for the willing hand
Come. Come
There's a wondrous land
Where I'll build you a home in the meadow - December 8, 2011 at 7:45 PM

For the past forty years there have been a growing number of people who believe that nothing less than a cataclysmic change is coming in the evolution of Mankind. From the dawning of the Age of Aquarius to cosmic forces--read Aliens--coming to engineer our DNA, to the doomsday scenarios triggered by the end of the Mayan calendar, there have been those who are sure that the world as we know it is coming to an end. And soon.
But that cataclysmic end has not (de)materialized, or has it? In 2012 new data was discovered in Guatemala that gives us concrete evidence of a new paradigm concerning the Mayans and their calendar. We are now faced with the idea that perhaps we aren't staring at Armageddon but stand in the middle of a 33-year transformative process. While the Mayans might have seen a change for humanity it isn't an ending per se.
And if there is change, why does that change need to imply destruction? Couldn't it be an opportunity for mankind to assess their place in the universe and engage in a positive rebirth in a new era?
Beyond The Mayan Prophecy posits that our modern day weakness or confusion can be attributed to a less spiritual way of thinking. Perhaps our left side brain thinking has held us back from discovering and accepting higher planetary secrets for centuries. To move forward with more balanced understanding, Paul Shavelson, a multi-media story teller and former Executive Producer of the hit psychic television show CROSSING OVER, has spent the last decade exploring the world of psychics and mystics. Paul has assembled a "psychic dream team" to decode the past and to predict the future. With famed metaphysical experts such as Char Margolis, Rick Levine, Maggie Kerr, Alan Oken, and Numerologist Glynis McCants, Paul covers everything from alien communication to instant collective thinking (The Collective Unconscious) being cultivated on the internet. The dialogue and interviews will be discussed through sidebars by psychic medium, author, and TV personality, John Edward, who also provides the forward, and afterword of this provocative subject.
With positive energy and a willingness to have us think outside the box (and a personal journey by the author that brings an unexpected and moving aspect to the experience), Beyond The Mayan Prophecy is an entertaining, thought provoking work that will let the reader embrace why the second half of this transition could be remarkable and inspiring.

The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today.
The Aioi Works of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines and is where some of these pictures were taken.It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines.
These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them.
The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.
Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length:89 feetHeight:44 feet
Maximum power:108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque:5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm
Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption).
Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour.
At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion.
For comparison, most automotive and small aircraft engines have BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency range.Even at its most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour.
Want to see just how big the crank must be? http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/huge-crankshaft.html

If you've ever lived through a hometown Super Bowl, you probably know how many exciting events come along with the biggest sporting event in the country. This is my second Tampa Bay Super Bowl experience, but when it came here in 2001, I was not of the legal drinking age, so I wasn't as interested in all of the events as I am now.

Wednesday, January 28th

Take in a live music performance by country music star, Jason Young, and a festive atmosphere at this open-air concert in the heart of Hyde Park Village, one of Tampa's most breathtaking neighborhoods.

And then of course, Sunday, February 1st is the BIG DAY!!! Kick-off starts around 6:30 p.m., and as long as I am alive after four long days of Super Bowl events, I will be watching the big game from one of my favorite local hot spots. Or I might be stuck to my couch, completely exhausted and not able to move. Either way, what an exciting week we have ahead of us! I hope you are all able to join in on some of the festivities!
Make sure to check out our new Super Bowl page at www.VisitTampaBay.com/SuperBowl. These are only a few of the events going on, there are so many more that I could never fit into one post.

, Aug. 23, 2012 SoftballRob | Topic: Product review Discussion: Best website for titanium necklaces? I finally found a great website (TitaniumTwisters.com) for those sports rope necklaces. They actually let you customize your necklace with about 50 colors of rope to choose from and they offer more sizes than I've seen from any other company. You customize it, they assemble and ship it within a few days from here in the US. This is the only company I've found that lets you customize. I just did one in my team colors and it turned out really well. Here is a link to their customizing page: http://www.mysportsarsenal.com/products/view/Titanium%20Twisters Thoughts? Anyone have any other websites for these that they'd recommend? |

Experienced criminal defense serving the communities of Newport Beach, Fullerton, Laguna Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Westminster
We work extensively at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach, the North Justice Center in Fullerton, the West Justice Center in Westminster and the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana. By working routinely with the prosecutors and judges at each Orange County courthouse, we understand the unique dynamics of how to get the best results in each.
Bail & Release Help at the Orange County Jail
Is your loved one incarcerated at the Orange County Central Jail in Santa Ana...or at one of the County's other jails? Our Orange County criminal attorneys can advice you as to the best strategy for getting him/her released quickly. Generally you can post bail immediately after the inmate is booked. Or you can wait for the first court appearance, which must occur within 2 court days of the arrest.
If the inmate remains in custody until the first court date, your OC criminal lawyer can ask the judge to lower bail or to grant an OR release. The judge will consider whether the inmate is a flight risk and whether he/she poses a danger to the public. We can present evidence and argument as to why the person is a good candidate for low bail or an OR release.
Orange County Criminal Courts are Tough...But You Can Still Prevail
The OC still deserves its reputation as one of the more conservative regions of the country. Local police, prosecutors and judges tend to be especially touch on defendants, reluctant to reduce charges and dolling out harsh sentences.
Nevertheless, many defendants succeed in getting charges reduced or dismissed, or obtaining "not guilty" verdicts at trial. A top Orange County criminal defense attorney who knows the law and knows the local courts is your best resource for keeping the matter off your record and staying out of jail.
Our Newport Beach criminal defense lawyers serve all of South OC and our Santa Ana criminal & DUI attorneys serve North County and Fullerton.

The powerful early spring storm system exiting NM today will pull in the coldest low temperatures seen in several weeks. The record warm weather through much of March has led to a very early spring bloom in many areas that usually don`t experience their last freeze well into April. Low temperatures tonight will fall into the lower to middle 20`s in the area from Taos to Espanola, Raton, Las Vegas and the Estancia Valley. Temperatures are expected to fall into the lower 30`s for areas like Farmington, Glenwood, Santa Fe into the Albuquerque Valley, and across much of the northeast and east central plains of NM. These temperatures will be cold enough to kill tender vegetation that has greened up very early this year. Folks with gardening interests across this region will need to take the necessary precautions to protect sensitive vegetation. $$

Intellectual property ("IP") protection mechanisms, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, can help a business maintain a competitive advantage by preventing other entities or former employees from exploiting assets developed by the business. No longer predominantly the domain of universities, high-tech industries and manufacturing-based industries, almost every business has or generates IP assets and may benefit from the available IP protection mechanisms. A basic understanding of IP protection mechanisms can assist with timely identification of potentially protectable assets.

Mexico's old rulers return but without strong mandate |
Reuters and AFP Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 12:36 am TWN |
MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's old rulers have regained power following 12 years in opposition but likely will have to forge alliances with other parties to push through reforms after winning the presidency by a much narrower margin than polls had forecast.
Enrique Pena Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, declared himself the winner of Sunday's presidential election after a quick count by Mexico's electoral authorities gave him a clear lead. Promising to reinvigorate the economy and reduce rampant drug violence, the telegenic 45-year-old will take office in December for a six-year term as president, restoring the party that dominated Mexican politics for most of the past century, at times ruthlessly. The dapper, perfectly coifed candidate is an ex-governor of the populous state of Mexico, located just west of the capital. He is married to glamorous telenovela star Angelica Rivera, and benefited from his family connections with powerful old guard PRI politicos as well as a stellar media team that carefully managed his appearances. Opinion polls in the last few days before the election had forecast Pena Nieto winning by a margin of between 10 to 15 percentage points, but with 85 percent of returns in, he was only 5.4 percentage points ahead of his leftist rival, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Pena Nieto had 37.6 percent support compared to 32.2 percent for Lopez Obrador and 25.4 percent for ruling party candidate Josefina Vazquez Mota. "Mexicans have given our party another chance. We are going to honor it with results," a visibly moved Pena Nieto told followers packed inside the PRI headquarters in Mexico City, where confetti rained down on jubilant supporters. Although Lopez Obrador said on Sunday night it was too early to concede defeat, a senior electoral official said the PRI candidate's lead was "irreversible" and outgoing President Felipe Calderon congratulated Pena Nieto on his triumph. The conservative Calderon's ruling National Action Party (PAN) suffered a crushing defeat, hurt by his failure to bolster economic growth and curb the fierce violence of a drug war that has killed tens of thousands of people and battered Mexico's image. Far behind in the IFE first results was Josefina Vazquez Mota from Calderon's conservative National Action Party (PAN) with 25 percent. "I recognize that the tendencies up to now do not favor me," Vazquez Mota told a crowd of loyalists in a de facto concession speech.
2 Comments July 3, 2012 elmejicano@ Congratulations to our new presidente! As for the sore loser Lopez Obrador, he's politically dead, with no further hope. WE have sent a message stating that socialism, leftist candidates are not welcome in MEJICO.

Stabilised lens list
Herts_JoaTMoN wrote:
Hi all, I'm just popping over here from the NEX forum as im considering getting the phase detect a mount adaptor for it (for faster auto focusing). The issue I have is that I want to use it with longer focal lengths but the NEX has no stabilisation.
Is there somewhere I can find a list of what a mount lenses have in lens stabilisation?
My understanding is that none of the Sony lenses do, but some of the third party lenses are stabilised.
There might be one or two Sigma lenses for A mount with there stabilization.
But, there are none from Sony, Minolta, Tamron or Tokina. All of those lenses rely on in body stabilization when used on the Sony Alpha bodies. Most of the Sigma lenses also have no stabilization, even most of those that do have in lens stabilization on Nikon or Canon mounts do not for the Sony A mount.

The offense suffered from graduation and the defense was bad. Auburn gave up almost 29 points a game in 2011. Despite these problems Auburn finished with a 8-5 season. The passing game struggled all season averaging only 155 yards per game. New offensive coordinator Scott Loeffler is using a balanced pro style attack in 2012. Second leading rusher Onterio McCalebb returns and that will help the running game. Kiehl Frazier is expected to be the starting quarterback.There are a lot of question marks for the Tigers in 2012. Two new coordinators and a new starting quarterback might be too much for Auburn this season. For this season to be a success the Tigers must get better on defense and Kiehl Frazier must get the passing game going. Auburn will take another step forward in 2012 but they have too many weaknesses to compete with Alabama,LSU, and Arkansas. |

Auburn finished the season in fourth place in the SEC's West Division, with a 4-4 conference record. Highlights of the 2011 campaign included a 41-34 victory over then #16 Mississippi State, an upset win at then #10 South Carolina, and an October 15 triumph against Florida.
Among the key returning players for the Tigers are running back Onterio McCalebb, wide receiver Emory Blake, tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen, center Reese Dismukes, defensive end Corey Lemonier, linebacker Daren Bates, cornerback Chris Davis, cornerback T'Sharvan Bell and safety Demetruce McNeal.
Auburn has several quality recruits joining the team this coming season, including multi-position athlete Ricardo Louis (Florida), offensive tackle Avery Young (Florida), multi-position athlete Ricky Parks (Georgia), cornerback Joshua Holsey (Georgia) and offensive tackle Jordan Diamond (Illinois).
The 2012 Auburn schedule features a number of great matchups, including a tough season-opener against Clemson, a September 22 matchup with LSU, and November tilts with Georgia and in-state rival Alabama.

Jess Morris is reclining on a dark velvet chesterfield in the living room of her North London home. Surrounded by vinyl and acoustic guitars, and wearing a shim-mering leopard-print Lanvin blouse, with her trademark shaggy hair, the accessories designer is a vision of louche elegance. She is so spring/summer 2016.On the wall hang psychedelic artworks by her partner, the artist and musician Tim Rockins, 38, who she met some 12 years ago at the iconic West London hangout, Westbourne Studios.
A mirrored picture entitled Black Magic Woman stands out. It was created for their model mate Kate Moss' 33rd birthday and shows her wearing a far-out gaze and a top hat. The rock'n'roll design flourish is typical of the couple, who count Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, stylist Katy England, designer Pam Hogg and actress Samantha Morton among their party-loving crew.
Morris' 1970s look is potent and one that everyone from Rodarte to Lanvin has evoked for this season. Some of fashion's biggest brands have been inspired by a snake-hipped dash of rock'n'roll heritage: Gucci's patrician flower children come of age; Saint Laurent delivers a tiara-wearing Courtney Love en route to Glastonbury. There hasn't been this much fringing, lamé, lace and glitter on the runway since the heady days of Halston. So how does Morris, 47, feel about the fact that her rock heroes are being adopted as modern-day fashion muses? 'There's definitely a real nostalgia for the 1970s right now,' she says. 'But even a stopped clock is right twice a day. My look hasn't evolved or changed, we just happen to have come back into fashion.'
The mother of two boys, Vincent, nine, and Lenny Blaze, seven (both of whom have magnificent 1970s bowl cuts), lately Morris has been reining it in. 'I like partying way too much,' admits the former fashion PR, who worked at Vivienne Westwood and Agent Provocateur, with a raspy giggle. 'I went to [The Clash bassist] Paul Simonon's 60th birthday [where Chrissie Hynde, Damon Albarn and Noel Gallagher all played] recently but left at 10.30pm. This is an important year for the business.' She's referring to Rockins, the scarf line that started out as one-off presents for her friends in 2014 and has evolved into the consummate rock'n'roll style signifier, beloved by the likes of Kate Moss, Lou Doillon and Harry Styles.
The daughter of beatnik artists who later became punks, Morris grew up in Southsea, where her mother ran a second-hand clothes store. She spent her teens riffling through jumble sales. 'You'd find all these amazing Victoriana dresses and 1950s fabrics,' she says. 'I'd love to raid the wardrobes of Barbara Hulanicki and Celia Birtwell — such unbelievable dressers.' It was in Southsea that she honed her eye for vintage and set in place the look that has remained her signature ever since — one that she likens to an overgrown garden. 'It's glamorous but in a louche way,' she says of the tailored Westwood suits and knee-high boots, or jeans and velvet jackets topped off with a fedora. 'It's about dressing up and then undressing, or unbuttoning, a bit. It's a shirt that's Lurex and sparkly, but it's creased like you've flung it on the floor after a night out and then put it on again the next day.'
Morris' hard-living heroes are many. There's Vogue cover star Anita Pallenberg, the Italian beauty who seduced a series of Rolling Stones, in a sea of paisley, chubby furs and feathers, and there's Stevie Nicks in her berets and embellished shawls. But she borrows from the boys, too, and perhaps the androgyny at the heart of this era holds the key to its current appeal. 'Because I have a boyish body shape I've always liked 1970s silhouettes. Men and women wore the same clothes then,' says Morris, who name-checks Marc Bolan and Jimmy Page as dandyish dressers who knew their way around a skinny scarf. 'Girls looked more boyish and men explored their feminine sides. It had been a long time since they were that flamboyant.'
The era's influence is being felt beyond the catwalk: 71-year-old Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page will return to the stage this year, and then there's the frenzied sex and drugs fest that is Vinyl, the new HBO show produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger. Jagger first pitched it to Scorsese as 'Casino in the world of the music biz'. Even the styling is true to the era: think serious hair and slinky slip dresses.
In today's matcha-sipping times the 1970s revival is a much-needed shot of hedonism. 'They're the last bastions of bad living,' says Morris of her rock idols. Photo shoot over, we have repaired to her local, the North London Tavern. She sips a half pint of Camden Hells thoughtfully. 'Nowadays, very few people smoke, or wake up and have a vodka, or just sleep with anyone and everyone. I think we kind of miss those free-living times.' Music is, of course, a key part of the 1970s ethos and a primary influence on Rockins designs.Morris describes the aesthetic as 'bootleg', and every silk scarf comes in its own cassette, CD or vinyl case with one-off artwork. The monochromatic 'Bowie' scarf borrows from the striped blazer the late star wore in 1973; the 'Bolan', super-skinny like its namesake, is mostly harlequin print. Last year, Morris collaborated with Kimberly Stewart on a collection that raided the legendary LA wardrobe of her father Rod.
Morris' routine may have evolved since her party days — there's now the school run to do before heading for Rockins' Mayfair HQ — but her bohemian spirit remains intact. The couple still fit in their Saturday-morning trip to Honest Jon's record shop on Portobello Road while the boys are at drama class. 'We normally manage to squeeze in a drink after-wards,' she adds with an infectious smile. The scarves are only the start. There's a line of non-stretch and high-waisted denim and T-shirts coming for summer, with plans for a full ready-to-wear line to follow. There's talk of pop-up Rockins record stores in refitted black taxi cabs, and an interiors offshoot of fringed lampshades, cushions, candles and piano shawls in peacock, paisley and leopard prints that suggest Portobello Market by way of Marrakech. But Morris' parting shot is a word of warning for rock wannabes: 'It's very difficult to fake being rock'n'roll. If you're not into the music, it's impossible to pretend.'

The Oscar season and Groundhog Day are upon us. Both Anne Hathaway and Punxsutawney Phil will be up early on Tuesday, Feb. 2, but for different reasons.
In the case of the "Rachel Getting Married" star, she'll be up at 5:30 a.m. PT to announce the nominations for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.
This year, the Academy has opened up the best picture field to 10 when it's been limited to five in the past 60 years. We're hoping this means that a few comedies, indie films and maybe action films will get consideration.
James Cameron's "Avatar" and Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" are shoo-ins for that category as the big winners so far during this awards season. Expect to see "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," "Up in the Air," "Inglourious Basterds" and "Nine."
We'd also like to see "(500) Days of Summer," "Invictus" and "An Education" get a nod. "The Hangover" would be an interesting addition, as would be "Up," even though there's already a dedicated animated film category.
For the best actress category, we're pretty much guaranteed Sandra Bullock for "The Blind Side" with a Meryl Streep's turn as Julia Child as a contender. Gabourey Sidibe of "Precious" and Carey Mulligan of "An Education" are worthy of recognition as well.
On the men's side, Jeff Bridges in "Crazy Heart" and George Clooney in "Up in the Air" are expected. But the rest of the best actor race isn't as clear. Jeremy Renner, Colin Firth, Morgan Freeman or Tobey Maguire? How about some Joseph Gordon-Levitt love?
We'll be up before the birds as well, so check back with Zap2it for the nominations.
The 82nd Academy Awards will be telecast on ABC from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, March 7.

7/7: The effect a near-death experience had on his life
films critical-momentsBillViola
Bill Viola is a legend of video art. His works beautifully evoke a human relationship to the four elements of fire, water, wind and earth. Over a period of four decades Viola has demonstrated the aesthetic and emotional potential of video technology - considered a low rent alternative to film when he started using the medium in 1970.
Few artists that weve interviewed have been so deft in describing the connection between their personal philosophy and how it guides and feeds their work. A practicing Buddhist, Viola articulates how humans (and their environments) are connected to the fundamentals of geological time: a temporality that becomes meaningful when Violas characters gracefully succumb to water or fire.
From the grainy monochrome video of the 1960s to high-definition capture technologies, his long spanning career derives coherence through a patient and precise meditation on the potential of the moving image. Viola avoids the pitfalls of new media by separating the conceptual aspect of his work from its technical execution.
Whilst his practice in part develops alongside the fast paced changes in technology, the underpinning logic is timeless. His films do not branch in a single direction - the individual frames and sequences are charged with a life of their own. The result are films that follow the logic of the part rather than the whole, leaving a small space of emptiness for the viewer to engage with.

When you hear the name Nexus, no doubt one of the first things that comes to mind is silence without compromising performance. Nexus has a long line of products from cases, power supplies and heatsinks. Nexus designs these products with one over arching principle: performance should be silent. Today we are reviewing a first for Nexus in the the 7000B Silent Mouse.
Packaging & Continents:
The Nexus Silent Mouse 7000B arrived in a standard blister packaging with fairly minimalist design that complements the mouse and receiver. Although the mouse can be felt through the packaging as far as size, it does not allow you to feel the quality of the mouse surface, which we will get into later. Removing the mouse from the blister pack was uneventful. The packaging itself is not friendly to being reused to store the mouse (because of the sharp edges of the PET plastic) but Nexus has you covered for transportation as we will talk about further on in the review.
Inside, you will find the mouse, manual/warranty information, receiver and 2x AA batteries. I was surprised to find no driver disk supplied, I was then happy to find that drivers installed automatically or were not required, as is the case with most mice nowadays.

The book proceeds from a central contemporary paradox. Never before have we been confronted by such dizzying forms of multiplicity, while at the same time facing still powerful appeals to singularity in matters of location and identity. The question arises as to how we negotiate the relation between the two — whether we can fashion new understandings of self and place in a disparate and uneven world. Here the relevant problem is not whether boundaries exist, but the nature of the boundaries we construct. In this light the book takes up the idea of a 'grammar of identity', considering notions o ... More

In 1974, Venerable Bai Shen, 白圣长老, the 4th Abbot of Kek Lok Si, 极乐寺, a Buddhist Monastery in Penang initiated an idea to build a great Guan Yin, 观音, sculpture in the monastery. Twelve years later in 1986, this Guan Yin sculpture was unveiled.
Unfortunately, the sculpture was made of fiber glass and unsuitable for the climate of Penang. Within three years, the sculpture began to disintegrate.
Learning from this experience, the next abbot Venerable Da Neng, 达能长老, initiated a second attempt in 1990 to fulfill the aspiration of the previous Abbot.
Three years later in 1993, the ground breaking ceremony for the new sculpture marked the official start of the construction project.
This time, the construction took 9 years and the new Guan Yin sculpture was made of bronze. During the construction period, Venerable Da Neng passed away and the project was also affected by the 1997 Asian Financial crisis.
The next abbot Venerable Ri Heng, 日恒长老,successfully guided the team towards the completion of the Guan Yin sculpture and it was officially unveiled on 5 December 2002.
Standing at 30.2 meters, Kek Lok Si has the tallest standing bronze Guan Yin in the world. Standing by the side of the Guan Yin are sculptures of two Dharma protectors Heng, 哼, and Ha, 哈.
The monastery continued to work on the sculpture by building an 83 meters tall pavilion to house the Guan Yin. The pavilion has 16 granite pillars supporting a roof structure that was inspired by the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, China.
On 6 December 2009, 13000 guests including 3000 Buddhist Venerables representing Mahayana, Theravada and Vajrayana traditions were invited from Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Cambodia, Thailand and Bhutan for the consecration ceremony.
From its initial conception, the Guan Yin sculpture project took 35 years and involved the leadership of 3 abbots of Kek Lok Si. It's successfully completion represented great determination, leadership and faith of all stakeholders.
Now Penang, Pearl of the Orient, has another gem to show the world.

Katie Holmes is already predicting daughter Suri Cruise, 5, will follow in her parents' footsteps.
"I think she's going to do a lot of different things. She's an amazing athlete, singer, and dancer, and I think she'll probably be an actress," Katie told the August 2011 issue of InStyle magazine.
Suri definitely puts her mom through her paces, and Katie said not all of them are pleasant.
"I've been thrown up on many times, right in the face," she said.
Katie confirmed that the preschooler already chooses her own clothes, but sometimes, those decisions get mom in trouble.
"I have to be a good parent in my own heart first. I'm not going to choose making people happy over doing the right thing for my child," the actress told the magazine about the criticism she sometimes receives for her daughter's choices.
The actress said she steers clear of the web, but she does know which criticisms come her way.
"I do know what's being said: I am briefed," she noted.
Katie confirmed she is currently not pregnant, and she said she isn't currently thinking about adding another baby to the family.
"I don't feel pressure to do that," she told InStyle. "We already have a very big family: a full household with cousins who are over a lot, and she has her friends. My biggest thing is making sure she's fully taken care of and doing well."
Beyond talk of Suri, Katie shared a little about her relationship with husband Tom Cruise, when asked what type of romantic the "Rock of Ages" star is.
"He's manly romantic," the actress said. "Two years ago he took me up on his P-51 Mustang, a fighter plane from World War II. He'd painted the words, 'Kiss Me, Kate,' on the side."
Katie will next appear on the big screen in "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," due out on August 26.

One solution to fix this useNewAPI problem would be to change the AttributeSource in a way, to return classes that implement interfaces (as you proposed some weeks ago). The good old Token class then do not need to be deprecated, it could simply implement all 4 interfaces. AttributeSource then must implement a registry, which classes implement which interfaces. So if somebody wants a TermAttribute, he always gets the Token. In all other cases, the default could be a *Impl default class. In this case, next() could simply return this Token (which is the all 4 attributes). The reuseableToken is simply thrown away in the deprecated API, the reuseable Token comes from the AttributeSource and is per-instance. Is this an idea?

Ok when i went to bed last night my Droid Razr was fine i set it on the night stand by my glasses and i suppose it could've ran out of battery overnight. When i got up this morning i woke up to see that it was unresponsive to the wake up button on the side. So figuring it ran out of battery i plugged it in and proceeded to get ready. As i was putting my pistol in its holster i noticed something extremely weird. The entire screen was blue knowing this is not like any normal start up i have done before i forced a reboot using the power button and the vol button. I turned it back on and the normal Motorola red circle showed up and then the screen went black and was unresponsive for the most part after that. I'm not sure what could've went wrong overnight. I don't download anything from the marketplace, the only thing i download is the updates that Verizon sends me every now and then and i only download those because they get annoying with the reminders. If i use the internet i only use it to look up information from sites like wiki. Anyone know what could be wrong and how i can fix it?
If it ran the battery completely out which it's not advised it could have caused a problem. Maybe the battery is in deep discharge. I'm sure Foxkat, or one of the other battery gurus will help you. I'd try, but I'm not an expert like some others. Sit tight, I'm sure they will be here soon.
Try plugging it into the wall directly using the supplied cable and charger. Leave it alone for 3-4 hours then try the Power and Vol Down to force a reboot. FoxKat is "The Man" when it comes to batteries so he may have more to add, but until then, that's what I'd do. "It won't hurt" as my Grandma used to say. :biggrin:
Thanks guys, i kept force rebooting it and eventually it worked. But now if i have to restart it or something i have to force restart it 5 or 6 times before the screen will actually work and respond. Sad this is i still have over a year left on this phone.
Wow that's terrible.... FoxKat is the man on this.. but I'm going out on a limb here and I'm going to suggest that you clear the cache on the device.. see what happens... You should also power it off and charge it to 100%... this helps a lot on many cases. If it does help, then you should consider training your battery meter... If it doesn't help, you're probably looking at a factory data reset... Let FoxKat weigh in before you decide to do this...
By the way, welcome to the droid forums... by your description of your prep to go out the door... you're in law enforcement perhaps??
Hkuser, the phone is still under warranty. You may need a replacement. Does the phone reach a full charge? Are you saying that in order to restart the phone, you always have to do the power and volume down button to force the restart? Are you no longer able to power down the phone with the power button? It sounds like a hardware problem but possibly not. It is possible it could be a software problem which a factory data reset might fix. It may be worth a try before getting a replacement. Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx using Droid Forums
I'm sure it is under warranty however im not a very technologically smart person i know a little about this and that. However im reluctant to replace it unless i have no other options. Reasons being, um to keep it PG i have photos of my wife on the phone that are adult in nature and im concerned even if i transfer them to my computer and then delete them that they will still be on the phone. Much like how on a computer even if you delete something it is not really gone. So due to this im reluctant to replace it. Onto powering down and turn it on, the phone actually once it starts to work normally i can power down standard. But its the power up that is a pain in the rear. It will freeze up at the point that it gets the home screen where i slide to unlock. From there my only option is to force shutdown and reboot and it takes several tries but eventually will boot up properly and work right. However it is irritating to have the concern that if i shut off my phone or restart it that maybe it wont turn back on properly. Tonight actually i had to restart my phone and it had that bright blue screen and idk whats wrong with it. I don't download anything off the marketplace all i download is the mandatory updates from Verizon. Any thoughts??? On another question what is this motocast crap that i'd have to install to my computer to get music files off of my computer and onto my phone? Thanks
Your best option and it may fix all your problems is to do a factory data reset. With phone powered up, plug into USB on your PC. If you already have the Motorola drivers on your PC, then you will be get a prompt with an option to view files. If you have a removable SD card in your phone, you should see two moto folders (one is the internal SD card that can't be removed, the other is the removable SD card. Either you can copy the contents of your internal card on your PC or you can find the folders that have your pics (DCIM folder and Pictures folder) and copy only those folders to your PC. Depending on how much, it may take up to an hour to save your SD card to your pc. Your pics on the removable card you can do at another time (because they are not stored on the phone, so no risk if you have to send your phone back). There may be other things you want to do before doing an fdr. See this thread for ideas when backing up and restoring before doing an fdr see: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-help/219101-getting-most-success-upgrading-ics-gb.html Do the factory data reset. See if that fixes your problems. If not then you may have to get a replacement. Keep us posted.
Try removing sim card to see if it will reboot correctly. If it does then your sim card has a file that is not compatible with the operating system of the phone.
