Zabriskie Point
Warner Home Video
It is often said that foreign filmmakers do a far better job of capturing the American zeitgeist, no matter the era, than their US counterparts. A perfect example of this proverb arrives in the form of Zabriskie Point. You will not see a better distillation of the entire 1960s and everything it stood for - good, bad, indifferent, insightful—than this uncompromising artistic overview. As a modernist, a moviemaker noted for his disconnected ideals and luxuriant long takes, Antonioni was still capable of contravening expectations. This movie illustrates that perfectly. It may not always succeed, but when it does, it's more than magical. It's meaningful. Bill Gibron
Ally McBeal: The Complete Series
Ally McBeal: The Complete Series
One of the DVD miracles of 2009 was the long desired release of Ally McBeal, one of TV's greatest and strangest series, with – and this is the heart of the miracle –all of the original music. No series prior to Glee and Eli Stone ever had music so deeply integrated into the core of the show and securing the rights for all of it delayed the release of the DVDs for years. David E. Kelly's quirky masterpiece was a genuine original that combined comedy, romance, fantasy, and court room drama to create a show that had no predecessors. It is also one of the TV series most deeply analyzed by academics and no series except for Buffy has been as passionately embraced by feminist critics. For most of the past decade it reigned as the series that most demanded release on DVD, a crown it now cedes, perhaps, to Malcolm in the Middle. Robert Moore

It's called Up because—well, because what? Because it's about a desperate old man who ties a couple hundred balloons to his house and embarks on a wild childhood dream? Or because it elevates you above and beyond the mundane emotions and colors and constraints of everyday life? I'd say a bit of both; and if you weren't moved to tears by the poetic, wordless opening montage, and to laughter by the inane banter between a mechanical-voiced dog ("Squirrel!") and a squawking bird, then I'm not sure I want to know you. And if you haven't been marveling at Pixar's imagination and heart—in only three years, they've forged sincere emotional bonds with a curmudgeonly food critic, a post-apocalyptic robot, and now a man more crotchety than the cast of Out To Sea—then you just haven't been paying attention.

For one night, a reporter and her cameraman work the grave shift with two firemen. The simple premise of [REC] doesn't prepare you for the blinding terror that follows. The firemen respond to an emergency call at an old apartment building where a resident has become insanely violent. The crew has unwittingly entered ground zero of a lethal contagion, where a mutation of the rabies virus is now running rampant. The government immediately quarantines the building, trapping the crew and residents inside. The virus spreads exponentially and the infected become savage and cannibalistic. "Keep the camera running," the reporter tells her cameraman, and they become our guides, like Dante and Virgil. The dark apartment building with its winding staircase becomes a stark vision of Hell, and those trapped inside, the damned. John Grassi

Phil Hanlen arrived early for his first meeting as treasurer of the Loma Vista Elementary Parent Teacher Organization.
He took a seat as other members began entering the room.
"As the chairs started filling in I quickly realized I was sitting in a room full of 20 to 30 moms, and I'm the dad," Hanlen said.
That realization was the catalyst for the Loma Vista Dads, a group Hanlen founded in June for men to volunteer at the school in Tustin. More than 100 men have joined so far. The men wear shirts emblazoned with "Manpower" as they strut about the school, helping with morning drop-off and school fundraisers.
A couple of miles away, men in Tustin Memorial Academy's HEROES group are busy earning volunteer hours.
Sean Nitzen and Duncan Miller are co-chairs of HEROES, which stands for "helping enrich the resources of every student." The group dates back to 2003, when former principal Cindy Agopian started the first organized group of men volunteering in Tustin Unified. Now, more than 30 men are active volunteers.
"Moms were the ones that did all the work," Nitzen said. "We kind of tapped into a new resource … and to get them to play a bigger role."
He spends about three hours a month working at the Tustin Memorial Academy, and is helping the Loma Vista Dads get started.
"The whole point of it is for the dads to be more involved in their kids' curriculum and be on campus," Nitzen said.
Tustin Unified does not require volunteers to submit to background checks because they work under supervision of district employees, said spokesman Mark Eliot.
Across Tustin, schools are seeing more dads, brothers, uncles and grandpas show up to help out. And it's not limited to Tustin schools – schools nationwide are seeing an increase in men volunteering for all manner of tasks.
James Martinez, spokesman for the Virginia-based National PTA, says men across the country are stepping up to play a bigger role in childhood education. In the past 115 years, men involved in PTA had remained steadily at 3 percent, Martinez said.
The National PTA held a survey in 2000 asking men why they were not involved in parent-teacher organizations.
"The No. 1 answer was because they were never asked. So we started asking," Martinez said. The national group encouraged PTAs to create male-friendly programs starting in 2001. By 2008, participation had leapt to a historic high of 10 percent.
In 2009, the National PTA installed the first man as president in the organization's 114-year history. Last year, the group installed its first African American man as president. And the MORE alliance – Men Organized to Raise Engagement – was formed.
"We're breaking a lot of glass ceilings here recently," Martinez said. "It's a historic time for PTA and for parent involvement overall."
This year, male participation is up to 15 percent, and the National PTA is holding an engagement summit for men – a three-day event honoring male role models. The number of men as PTA presidents at schools increased to about 20 percent in 2012.
"Decades of research show a direct link between parent involvement and student achievement regardless of socioeconomic status, religion, race, background," Martinez said. However, he added that student academic success rises when both parents are involved.
"Parent involvement is paramount in the success of the performance of schools," Nitzen said. Having active parents also eases the burden on teachers, he said.
"This is all great news, but there is still a lot of work to do," Martinez said.
Phil Hanlen recalls telling his father that he'd joined the Loma Vista Elementary PTO.
"He's giving me a funny look, asking if I'm serious, and says, 'The PTO – that's a mom thing. Do you know what you're getting yourself into?'" Hanlen said. He stuck with it.
Women still make up the majority of parent-teacher groups, though more men are joining these days. Gender-specific groups give the fathers a place to fit in.
"It's usually pretty fun if you get a bunch of dads in the room who have a similar sense of humor," said Brian Ramos of Bonita Canyon School in Irvine. The campus invites men a few times a year to meet for an update on happenings at the school. Often, men won't get involved if mothers are active volunteers, he said.
"I noticed moms were doing all the work. Only moms were involved in PTA and events," said Hiram Aviles, a founder of Brywood Elementary Dads in Irvine, whose members number about 45. They help out the PTA. Each year in February, the dads hold a talent show fundraiser. Aviles' kids moved on to Sierra Vista Middle School, and he's now the head of the Sierra Vista Charger Dads.
Like the Brywood Dads, the 75 members of the Woodbury Elementary Dads club in Irvine also help the PTA.
Anthony Bonfiglio says fathers in the club have formed strong friendships – as well as softball and soccer teams – and often get together socially.
"It's always about the kids, enriching those kids' lives," Bonfiglio said. "That's the biggest reason any of us should do this."

The San Francisco Film Society honored Ray Dolby with the George Gund III Award at the 56th annual San Francisco International Film Festival, the longest-running film festival in the Americas.
Among the filmmakers celebrating Ray Dolby's distinguished service to cinema as an art form was Ben Burtt, sound designer for Star Wars and creator of its many iconic sound effects. Describing Ray Dolby as "a scientist who invents tools for the artist," Burtt said, "the result is a whole new frontier for the filmmakers."
According to San Francisco filmmaker Paul Meyers, "among the many legacies of Ray Dolby is a continual striving for this more visceral kind of cinema, an endeavor carried on by his many collaborators at the company he founded. It is a beautiful thing to behold—and of course, to hear."

Steal of the Day: Ebony Trestle Table
Buying furniture online isn't always a reasonable thing to do. Shipping and handling rates are usually sky high, and then there's always the issue of making sure you'll be at home to accept your order. But for those of us without a trusty pick-up truck or gas-guzzling SUV, it's often the only solution to our furnishing dilemmas. Even with a $75 shipping and handling surcharge though, this wooden Ebony Trestle Table ($119) from Wisteria still costs less than its original selling price. I think I smell a steal!

It is crunch time at Indianapolis, the day before the field will be set for the 92nd running of the 500. While most of the field is focusing on race setups and trimming their Dallaras (all but one car in the field) to spec, others are sweating bullets on qualifying for the race.
With 37 confirmed car/driver combinations, the concept of bumping will not just be a slogan this year: there is a very good chance a few cars will be going home.
Fastest today, as usual during this month of May, was polesitter Scott Dixon, turning a lap at 223.713 mph. Penske teammates Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe were next up, followed by Will Power and Graham Rahal. The young but mature Rahal ran his quickest lap in the later stages of the day, around 5:30 or so local time.
But it wasn't an incident-free day by any means. Rookies Power and E.J. Viso each crashed, the former through turn one and the latter wiping out in the middle of turn three. Both drivers were fine but felt awful for their teams in having to perform extra work to get their cars ready to qualify.
"There was a lot of blustery wind out there and I just got caught out. I wasn't even up to speed yet and the car came around on me sending me into the wall," Power said after his accident. "This is obviously a setback because of the track time we are going to lose, but I know the team will do what needs to be done and we will be ready to qualify tomorrow."
Viso's diagnosis of his accident was more succinct. "I'm fine and ready to go again, but I feel bad for the team," the Venezuelan said. "It was our first run real heavy on fuel. My line was okay, but I lost the rear in turn three."
The biggest shunt of the day, however, belonged to Briscoe, who lost it in turn one around 3:00 and destroyed his T-car. Like the others, Briscoe suffered no physical injuries but one has to wonder how much a shunt does for his psyche. At least he's qualified in the third position whereas the other two will be trying to get in tomorrow.
Surveying the paddock, opinions varied about what was a necessary speed for success in qualifying without compromising the race setup too much. "We're still searching for speed," said Beck Motorsports' Roger Yasukawa. "In race trim we'd like to run 219-220 (mph) and without a doubt we could hit 221-222 if we trimmed it out (for qualifying). It's always tough without teammates to find data."
"We're fine and both cars are ready to go," Ryan Hunter-Reay of Rahal Letterman Racing noted. "We haven't been out yet today though, and on our own we want to run 218."
"It's hard to say what to expect," Jeff Simmons of A.J. Foyt's team quipped, after running in the 220-mph range on his own. "I'd like to hit 222 but it is difficult to say."
Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing teammates Rahal and Justin Wilson felt confident about their cars. Rahal is definitely solid as he nearly made it in on the first weekend and has been quick during the limited on-track time this week, although he had a near accident towards the end of practice.
Not as satisfied was Alex Lloyd, back on track in the freshly-livered Wii Fit car for the joint Rahal Letterman/Chip Ganassi effort, and Ed Carpenter of Vision Racing. Both drivers noted some nagging handling issues that had seen their speeds drop since the beginning of the month.
Meanwhile there is but one Panoz entered for this year's edition of the 500 and it is in the capable hands of Phil Giebler at American Dream Motorsports. While Giebler's IndyCar experience is limited to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where he also ran last year, the incredibly versatile driver has an uncanny ability to hop into almost anything at short notice and get it up to speed. The team is sorting out the car fielded last year by Chastain Motorsports, and formerly owned by Rahal Letterman. Track time has been sorely lacking and he was the only driver not to get on track today.
As always there was those couple of drivers walking around the paddock in search of that elusive seat for this year's race. Alex Barron and Roberto Moreno, who were both in last year's 500, remain outsiders as the number of drivers here at the Speedway far outnumbers the amount of cars. Moreno at least gave the impression he enjoyed relaxing for a change as opposed to the pressures of hunting down a car.

Too Old for Brazilian Butt Lift?
No, You are not too old. It's not a matter of age, it's a matter of health. I have operated on patients in their 70's with no problems and have had to turn down patients in their 30's and 40's because of health problems. To have this surgery, you want to be in your best health and well nourished so that you can heal well and get a great result.
I am 58yo - Am I too old for a Brazilian butt lift?
You should obtain medical clearance from your primary care physician that you are at an acceptable risk for undergoing a surgical procedure. For elective or aesthetic procedures, your surgeon may want to get you to a reasonable health status prior to consideration for a procedure. Discuss all of your medical comorbidities and medication with your surgeon prior and discuss these risks. Also, discuss this with your anesthesiologist as proper monitoring and medications will be watched closely. This procedure should still be very safe for you and hope for an uncomplicated course with an excellent result! Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Surgery and age
Age is not a contra indication for surgery , as long as you are healthy and your internist is clearing you medicaly for surgery. The more important issue is what method to use for the butt augmentation. Fat injection to the butt , requires large amount of fat to obtain a siginificant improvement in size and shape. This technique is not very reliable. In many cases, the fat completely disappears or nearly , completely disappears after a period of time. Usually after 1 year. I had 6 patients , lately, who had that unfortunate experience , done by other surgeons. They came to see me and obtained butt augmentation with implants. Implants , do not disappear , are soft and come in different sizes. Be sure to select an experienced plastic surgeon who is experienced in that procedure, in order to get good result and reduce complicatios.
Best of luck,

Four Out of Five!
The Gulf Tower peregrines have really surprised me. With all the drama that occurred in late March and early April -- when Tasha laid two eggs, then Dori took over the nest site and laid three more -- I really expected the eggs would hatch days apart and that only Dori's would be viable.
Instead, yesterday two more of the five eggs hatched, so that all four hatched within 48 hours.
There are now four peregrine chicks at Gulf Tower.
At least one of the chicks came from an egg laid by Tasha (who hasn't been seen since March 20). Dori will raise all of them as her own. It's unlikely she can tell the difference.
Here are some "baby" pictures from today and yesterday. My thanks go to Jennie Barker, Traci Darin and Marianne Atkinson for capturing most of these images. (I captured the feeding this morning.)
The 3rd egg hatched on Monday, May 10 around 9:00am. In the photo above, the baby bird is raising its leg and wing out of the shell.
Above, the fourth egg shows a pip hole and the beginnings of the circumference crack.
Dori helps the fourth chick out of its shell, May 10, around 7:15pm.
This morning Dori feeds four chicks at 7:15am.
Will the fifth egg hatch? Watch the Gulf Tower webcam to see.
p.s. Dori & Louie are TV celebrities! They were featured on this morning's WTAE news and in a followup article here. Check the comments below for even more links.

Wow! Dori is now a mom and a step-mom! Lets hope #5 hatches. What a great project and learning experience. Sweet pictures!
# Kathy McCharenon 11 May 2010 at 8:37 am
I'm delighted that at least one of Tasha's eggs hatched!
Have you talked with the Aviary folks about the viability issue? Did Louie's sitting on the eggs after Tasha left keep the eggs warm enough so that they remained viable? Or can a fertilized egg sit dormant for an extended period of time and still hatch if incubated? Will the knowledge gained here be useful in helping folks deal, e.g., with abandoned nests from other types of birds??
I love the close-up camera at the Gulf site. And the picture of Dori feeding her chicks is precious…Can't wait to see if the fifth egg hatches…
# faith Cornellon 11 May 2010 at 8:49 am
I got to see most of this. Most thrilling thing to think that ,maybe one of Tasha's eggs made it thru the cold & being. My question is if the eggs hatched in order of laying then its 2 of Tasha's & 2 of Dori's so far??? Interesting. It sure doesn't matter to Dori or Louie tho; they have to shovel that food in to everyone. Thanks so much for all the info & input here. Looking forward to dr. Katzner's next chat with us. He will certainly have more questions this time I'm sure.
# Nancyon 11 May 2010 at 8:53 am
Is there any chance that Dori will know that one of the chicks (at least) is not hers? If so, will she rear it or is this uncharted territory and we just have to wait and see?
# kathyon 11 May 2010 at 8:56 am
This is truly amazing! You really have to give Louie credit as well for this fourth hatch – he was adamant that his first 2 eggs with Tasha were going to be incubated and it was fascinating to watch as he convinced Dori that she was going to incubate them all!
What a wonderful tribute to Tasha!
# Kate St. Johnon 11 May 2010 at 9:05 am
Yes, a fertilized egg CAN sit dormant for an extended period of time and still hatch if incubated. Peregrines normally make the eggs wait until incubation – they awit until the clutch is nearly complete. In this case it was just a little longer wait than usual. Freezing was the only real hazard & Louie made sure that they didn't freeze.
Will Dori know that one (or more) of the chicks is not hers?
I doubt she knows and if she did it would make no difference to her. She will raise all of them as her own. Peregrines' will foster others' chicks. The Peregrine Recovery Project used this knowledge when they fostered chicks with peregrine adults who were unable to raise their own viable young due to DDT.
# Kathy McCharenon 11 May 2010 at 9:43 am
I think that I just caught sight of pip hole on the remaining egg. Did anyone else see it??
# Donnaon 11 May 2010 at 10:21 am
Dori & Louie got some publicity this morning on the local news. They showed the live camera feeding around 7:45AM and have an article on their website. They are local celebrities! http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/23514704/detail.html#

Dori and Louie are amazing together. Louie never gave up on Tasha's eggs. Every time Dori pushed them out of the scrape, Louie pushed them back in. It's so wonderful that Dori finally accepted them, even more wonderful that she is caring for Tasha's chick(s) like her own.

Response to Kathy McCharen – I just made a hotspot of what you described. Looks possible to me. What do you think, Kate?
# Jon 11 May 2010 at 12:07 pm
At 12:05 PM Dori is brooding but one chick is only partially under her chest. Could this be the 5th chick that she is allowing to dry a bit before pushing all the way under?
# Marianneon 11 May 2010 at 12:22 pm
It is so fantastic that at least one of Tasha's eggs hatched! Louie did good! (Dori too)

# Marcy Con 11 May 2010 at 5:33 pm
Will there be a way to see thru blood tests when they band, who the chicks belong to? Amazing how nature works….I know I had a cat who adopted any little critter including baby bunnies when she was nursing her kittens and a dog who actually nursed kittens after the mother got run over. The maternal instinct is there for most animals.
# Kathy from Torontoon 11 May 2010 at 6:32 pm
Number 5 has hatched!! Wonderful, just wonderful!
# Mikeon 11 May 2010 at 6:41 pm
I believe we have 5 chicks @ the Gulf Tower!!!!!
# Ingridon 11 May 2010 at 6:55 pm
And now there are FIVE ! This is so heart warming. Louie did a wonderful job at keeping those eggs alive.

Wow! An expert on semen!<quoted text>
Semen is the cloudy white body fluid that is emitted from the urethra of the penis during ejaculation. Most of the fluid in semen is made up of secretions from male reproductive organs.
65 per cent of the fluid is produced by the seminal vesicles
30 to 35 per cent by the prostate
5 per cent from the testicles and epididymes
Semen contains citric acid, free amino acids, fructose, enzymes, phosphorylcholine, prostaglandin, potassium, and zinc. The average volume of semen produced in a single ejaculation varies from 2 to 5 ml. The semen from a single ejaculation may contain between 40 million and 600 million sperm, depending on the volume of the ejaculate and the length of time since the last ejaculation. Samples used for medical purposes are obtained by having the donor masturbate. If a sample cannot be produced without sexual intercourse, non-reactive condoms can be used to collect the semen.
Too funny!

Cary, NC, United States, 2008/07/14 - Powerful new product proving to be a boon for small and mid-sized companies.
Coalmarch Productions®, a leading service provider for online solutions, has launched a Website for Steeltrap Solutions. The new site utilizes Coalmarch's newest product, CoalEngine® Express. Express is an entry level version of the robust CoalEngine Content Management System. Express is designed for economy and ease of use. CoalEngine Express performs tasks in a superb manner allowing users to focus energy on maintaining their Website.
Steeltrap's new CoalEngine Express powered Website provides dynamic vs. static html. This will allow clients to quickly update content, relieving the need to manually edit their sites, said Jake St. Peter, president and co-founder at Coalmarch. This site will provide a professional Web presence as compared to their previous homebrew Website.
Unlike similarly priced Web design and development services that simply re-sell hosted software, CoalEngine Express utilizes CoalEngine technology developed and controlled by Coalmarch. However, the costs of the competitors options are often equal to, or higher than, CoalEngine Express. In most cases, competitors clients can't easily manage their own content.
We needed a solution that was affordable, cost effective and would be able to grow with our burgeoning business. CoalEngine Express does exactly that, said Ted Allen, CEO at Steeltrap Solutions. Unlike other solutions for small businesses we have complete control over our Website. It not only looks great, but we are able to easily add on additional functionality as needed. This is the only truly small-business friendly package available. Now, more businesses can have affordable access to powerful design and technology assets.
CoalEngine Express is targeted toward small businesses and start-up organizations that might not have a Web presence, or have an existing site that is not performing to their expectations, either in terms of how it looks or ease of site management. CoalEngine Express is ideal for attorneys, private medical practices, or any new, small-business.

Next morning. At first it looks as though my library has been restored. This is because the iTunes library directory itself is identical to the way it was before I deleted the files. It is only when I click on a track that an exclamation mark appears, indicating that there is no audio file linked to the track. There are duplicates of almost all the tracks. Some of the duplicates connect to a file; some don't. Sometimes I can locate the lost file, sometimes I can't. Nearly everything is there. But sometimes a track is missing from a particular record. Or sometimes a five-minute track now appears to be forty-six seconds long and cuts off short. My Dam Funk record is gone! I know it exists just a click or two away in the iTunes store, but finally, I experience a feeling of loss and grief.
The feeling doesn't last. Part of me feels relief, like a burden has been removed. I understand the burden of carrying an amassed horde of physical objects around from apartment to apartment: those sixteen boxes of vinyl that now sit in my basement waiting for the day when I live somewhere big enough that I can display them. Benjamin doesn't say much about the labor of transporting or even coexisting with a collection, but there's a sense he knows the work of "unpacking." In his lovely early rumination on his MP3s, Julian Dibbell writes:
I AM UNPACKING my CD collection. Yes, I am. Not the way Benjamin famously unpacked his book collection, seven decades ago, amid "the disorder of crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn paper." Not hardly. I'm unpacking my music the way we generally unpack information these days: by setting it free entirely from dust and paper and crates of any kind. By making it immaterial.
But this only points to how puzzling it is that I still experience my collection as a burden. Perhaps the physical labor that Benjamin wrote about, complete with crates that need to be wrenched open, the dust of the wood, has now been replaced by immaterial labor. Didn't I get into this mess by seeking to "tidy" my collection up? By seeking to remove all the extra copies, inaccurate copies, unnamed copies or inexisting copies that obstructed my easy access to the original copies that I believe my collection should consist of? The plug-in "Super Remove Dead Tracks" and the iTunes tool "Find Duplicates" both promise to alleviate this work. But instead the work has redoubled itself. I finally understand the defiant attitude of Laroche, the orchid collector in the movie Adaptation, who obsessively collects some category of things, only to rigorously and repeatedly abandon them to invent a kind of historical closure for himself that allows him to move on, interminably.
I imagine that my collection could be replaced with another one that is equally interesting. It's not hard to find collections today. In fact, it's often easier to get access to a collection than to an individual object. BitTorrent seems to encourage the sharing of vast collections. If I want to replace my copy of Toeachizown by Dam Funk, it's actually easier to download Dam Funk's entire discography today. Such collections have the status of a gift, but in a strange way, because we get much more than we asked for, much more than we want. I cannot store all the collections that I have access to. I do not want all the collections that I have. Nor am I even aware of a large part of the collection. At any rate, the resurrection of my collection stands in a curious legal limbo.
Benjamin saw the potential of a mass art, as well as that of a publicly held collection such as that of a museum or library, but it's unclear that he recognized the possibility of a political class, that is, a mass of collectors, and the struggle between publicly and privately held collections for the attention of the masses. Thus today there's a modification of capitalism in the direction of the cloud, of services like Spotify, wherein I never own the music; it is always available as a vast privately held collection that I pay for access to. Thinking dialectically, it is impossible that such a service could really be the final word on collections. The idea feels as absurd as Fukuyama proclaiming the Hegelian end of history at the end of the Cold War. But: why? What is it that lies beyond the accumulation of objects, either as private or state property, sold or given to us on loan?
The truth of the matter is that my collection is a mess. Though not fastidiously or obsessive-compulsively clean, I am far from being a stereotypical nerd or geek, every surface covered in stacks of books, moldy paper cups, and dead pieces of computer equipment. But suddenly I do feel like Benjamin's angel of history, his hands thrown up in horror as the mislabeled, broken MP3 files pile up in front of him. Partly I am kidding. Partly I know that my experience is utterly banal, shared by many many people, although no doubt in different media, as they look at their computer screens at this very moment. But that should also be cause for thought: What if every person at his or her computer screen today was an instance or iteration of the angel of history, the very picture of the crisis of the collector, no longer just a member of a small elite, but the very picture of the modern subject, 2013, a subject who still seeks to define himself or herself in terms of the set of his or her properties or possessions, even in the moment when, as Marx and Engels wrote, "All that is solid melts into air."
So what is that enormous pile of debris piling up in front of us? Perhaps it's a commons. And what the angel of history experiences is the collapse of property structures such that the private ownership of collections or histories is no longer possible. This means that password-protected services, with their reasonable monthly fees and intellectual property rights, will also disappear, leaving us with an ever-expanding pile of rubble or garbage that isn't yet formally available as an organized commons in which lines of access to potential subjects who would organize a society around it would emerge. The reasons for this lack of formal availability are, broadly, legal, sociotechnical, and political. There are laws that prevent unlimited sharing, and they are enacted in the software of my iPod, in legal restrictions on file-sharing, and so forth.
This vision is in line with other aspects of Benjamin's thought on history. For example, regarding the dialectical image, "Articulating the past historically means recognizing those elements of the past which come together in the constellation of a single moment." So the collection is a kind of constellation, but the full power of constellation can only appear when collections are liberated from the grip of ownership. They can only appear when they become truly public, or more tragically, when they become the image of a possible public, one that flashes before us in the moment that it disappears, as the quote with which I began this chapter indicates. This would explain why it is so difficult to see the new digital archives as actual things that exist within a solid property regime, and why, conversely, my own digital collection neither feels like mine nor like a substantial object. It's only when I lose the collection that an image of a genuine public sphere momentarily appears, a sphere out of which my collection emerged and from which it may in fact be restored. In a radical sense, a constellation as a set of individual inherently existing objects does not exist. It "exists" only insofar as processes of reification pull us into structures in which we performatively enact a belief in ownable, existing objects that form a collection. Liberated from ownership, the full power of constellation is revealed as a kind of actor network in which individual entities appear.
Significantly, such a thought of a new commons after ownership speaks to a significant body of recent post-Benjaminian scholarship, which runs from Agamben's The Coming Community through Hardt and Negri's discussions of "the common," to Esposito's work on depropriation and communitas. What all these theorists share is a vision of a community that is not identitarian, that is not built around a full coming to presence of any particular universalizable subject or object, but rather is built around the shared recognition of contingency, finitude, and incompleteness. This community is "depropriated" because it is not based on an identification of common properties that would provide the basis of a unification, and recognizes that ultimately property, both in the sense of intellectual property and in the broader philosophical sense of a quality that intrinsically belongs to something, is an unsustainable illusion.
What I find problematic in this tradition is the lack of a clear articulation of what it means to live collectively with incompleteness, beyond a passivity that is often in danger of collapsing into nihilism. Here I find Buddhist tradition more specific in its examination of the ultimate absence of intrinsic essences or properties. The recognition of the ultimate impossibility of property regimes need not be a nihilistic one. Nor does it imply a chaotic free-for-all—as Esposito shows in his brilliant reading of Hobbes's state of nature. It simply implies other kinds of relationship than that of ownership. This is precisely what we see happening today in debates about a digital commons, and in the practices of online and offline constellation formerly known as collecting. It is not a question of seeking a utopia of total availability, but of recognizing, via the actual shocks that new technologies deliver to the realm of the possible as delineated by law and custom in the age of global capitalism, that the failures of ownership, in which the figure of the collector also is implicated, open up other, hitherto obscured possibilities for a shared world.
I am back home. Time Machine is telling me that it cannot complete the backup of my computer. I have bought new backup drives. I have mapped out a plan. I found the old Firewire drive on which I backed up my MP3 collection in the basement in a stack of boxes. This surprises me because I thought that I had treated the drive with great care, but obviously I was quite indifferent to it, until I needed it. The next surprise is that the backup dates to February 2010, rather than summer 2011, as I had imagined. This means that there is a year and a half of collecting activity that is basically irretrievable. It is possible that the actual files exist, either on my iPod or in the attempt to restore the hard drive.
I end up deleting the files of my entire iTunes library up to the date that I deleted the duplicates, and I also delete the entire block of files that were retrieved from my external hard drive. Then I clear the entire file listing in iTunes. I build up the collection again from the February 2010 back up and then I click "Add to Library." My collection is, to some degree, restored, with a year and a half gap. It is free of duplicates for the first time in many years. The price that I pay for being rid, at least for now, of the simulacra of my collection, all those irritating and redundant doubles, is a gap, a hole in time. Some of it may be retrievable from my iPod. Some is gone for good. I feel OK about that, except for those moments when I search for a track that I imagined I own, only to find it missing.
I am left wondering whether it is actually possible to collect things today in the sense that Benjamin, Cavell, even Baudrillard have understood collections. My objection to contemporary collection might begin with the problem of ownership. On the one hand, the existential fact of the presence or absence of digital files or code on my computer or drives continues to define what is "mine." The virtualization of this presence through backups, copies and other iterations still comes down to whether or not those copies can come to hand or not when required. And the retrievability or not of these copies is marked by a specific history in which I did or did not make backups or copies, which did or did not contain certain files. My more or less unconscious activities in moving files around is a history that determines what my collection is. On the other hand, this unconsciousness, my casual indifference to my actions in securing or not securing files, again marks off my situation from that of Benjamin unpacking his book collection. I remember very little about what I got when and how when it comes to MP3s. Only at the moment of its disappearance, to paraphrase Benjamin, does its historicity start to exist for me.
Yet this unconsciousness is not simple carelessness or stupidity (whatever those things are). It may actually be a sign of my confidence in the worldly existence of those things that I care about, the possibility that I do not have to secure them to enjoy them or care for them. This confidence also has its own historicity, related to changing notions of publicness, commons, and so forth. The accessibility of certain rare and therefore desirable music files was different in the age of Napster (1999– 2002), the age of Rapidshare and Megaupload and music blogs (2004–2009), and that of BitTorrent (2008–?). Today, I find myself being forced back into the historical situation of the collector by the aggressive shutdown of various new technosocial forms of publicness through the expansion and enforcement of IP laws. But I do not want to be a collector. I have tasted a better life. The problem remains: How do I create the conditions in which it can flourish?

FIFA bans FC Barcelona from two straight transfer windows
FC Barcelona, which has won four of the last five Spanish football championships, will not be allowed to make signings in two straight transfer periods, as FIFA leveled a ban on Wednesday relating to the club breaking the rules governing international transfers of players under 18.
FIFA did not say when the punishment will begin, but if levied immediately, it would be for the summer of 2014 and winter of 2015. It also comes with a fine that equates to $508,000.
"The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned the Real Federacion Espanola de Futbol (RFEF) and Spanish club FC Barcelona for breaches relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18," FIFA wrote about its investigation, which started last year. "The investigations concerned several minor players who were registered and participated in competitions with the club over various periods between 2009 and 2013."
SI WIRE: MLS player says league rivals Premier League in organization, atmosphere, fans
International youth transfers can only take place under three situations.
- If a player's parents have moved countries for non-soccer related reasons.
- If the move takes place within the European Union and a player is between 16 and 18 years old.
- If the player's home is less than 50 kilometers from the national border being crossed.
Barcelona was also cited for violations in February 2013, when FIFA found that six players — Koreans Lee Seung-Woo, Jang Gyeol-Hee and Paik Seung-Ho, Frenchman Theo Chendri, Nigerian-Dutch player Bobby Adekanye and Cameroonian Patrice Sousia — from two of its youth teams were in breach of the transfer rules.
The transfer period signing ban could have major ramifications for Barcelona, the top ranked UEFA club team, but the team is taking a measured stance.
Said a team spokesperson: "We are relaxed. It is a habitual process in which we have 90 days to explain how we signed these players."
The club is expected to appeal.SI WIRE: Report: FIFA committee members threatened corruption probe

Buzzard, to answer you question, I use both. E calls are kind of nice in that you don't have to move around alot blowing on a call. Mouth calls are kind of nice because you don't have to carry around the extra weight of an E call. Just depends on what kind of mood I'm in when I go out. I think most people use mouth calls just because they're easier, but both of them have worked for me. Actually, last time that I went out the only thing I use was a howler mouth call. I was doing a series of howls and pup wines and called in 3 at the stand.

One of the local hunters swears by Cass Creek Calls and he said he loves his, even showed it to me and gave a demo at the gun shop so I went looking for one...price here is over 50 bucks so I went to Ebay...got one with remote for 36.00 and that included shipping. I guess now all I have to do is get out and give it a try.

For decades people have relied on Robert Samuelson to give a confused rendering of economic reality in the pages of the Washington Post. He came through again today in his warnings about an explosion of part-time work.
The centerpiece of Samuelson's concern is a reported, "whopping — 1,115,000 — increase in part-time jobs offset by the 708,000 loss in full-time jobs." Yes, that sounds pretty worrying. The number of full-time jobs is plunging.
The reason that you are hearing this concern raised by Robert Samuelson and not by any of the economists or analysts who commented on the June jobs report is that the latter group understands the volatility of the data in the household survey from which the numbers on part-time work is obtained. It is not uncommon to see sharp month-to-month movements in part-time or full-time work. This is why economists generally ignore the month to month changes in these numbers in the household survey and rely instead on longer period changes, like year over year comparisons.
If Robert Samuelson had written this piece last month, before the release of the June data, he could have been decrying the disappearance of part-time work, since the economy had lost 318,000 part-time jobs in the prior two months. No one can believe that we really saw a sharp drop in part-time in April and May, only to be reversed by a huge surge in June. These numbers are simply errors in the survey. This is why no one raised the monthly movements.
There is an interesting story if we look at the year over year numbers. These numbers do show an increase in the number of part-time work, but all on the voluntary side. Voluntary part-time employment increased by 840,000 from June of 2013 to June of 2014. At the same time involuntary part-time employment fell by 650,000, leaving a net gain of 190,000. Since this was accompanied by a year over year change in total employment of 2,146,000 jobs, it implies a gain in full-time employment of 1,956,000 jobs. Are you scared?
There is actually a story (a good one in my view) of increased part-time work. Many people would prefer to work part-time. They have young children or ill family members they would like to spend time with. Or, they may be older workers who would like to partially retire. Before the passage of the Affordable Care Act these people might have worked full-time because this was the only way they could get health care insurance. However now that they can get insurance on the exchanges, they have the option to work part-time. I don't see the problem with this.
Samuelson does raise the issue that employers are cutting workers hours to less than 30 to avoid the employer sanctions that apply to firms who have more than 50 full-time employees but don't provide health care insurance. The imposition of these sanctions has been delayed, but Helene Jorgensen and I looked at the evidence that such hours reductions were happening in the first half of 2013 when employers thought the sanctions would apply to them. (The Obama administration announced the delay of the sanctions in early July of 2013.) There was none.

Eva Padberg
One of Germany's most promising young models, Eva has made the Fatherland proud thanks to sizzling appearances in Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and Playboy. American audiences get to see this Teutonic bombshell display her acting chops in In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.
AppealUnlike most rail-thin supermodels, Eva has been blessed with the kind of mouthwatering curves that have allowed her to pose for both Vogue and Playboy. And while her succulent breasts are certainly worth celebrating, true connoisseurs of the female form will want to take a moment to lovingly gaze at her toned abs and her seemingly never-ending legs.
SuccessEasily one of Germany's most recognizable faces, Eva has appeared in nearly every fashion publication on the planet, including Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Amica, Cosmopolitan, GQ, and Glamour. Luckily for us, she's also shed her clothes -- and her inhibitions -- for Playboy and FHM, who named her the Sexiest Woman in the World in 2005. In addition to her extensive print work, Eva has also been a spokesmodel for big-time brands like Palmers Lingerie, Kia, Nintendo, Astor Europe, MTV, König Pilsener Lemon, and many more.
Eva Padberg BiographyEva Padberg was born January 27, 1980, in Bad Frankenhausen, Germany. Blessed with beautiful blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes, it wasn't long before she caught the eye of talent scouts upon entering her first modeling contest in 1995. Despite a complete lack of experience, Eva managed to place in the top 10 and soon won a coveted modeling contract with Louisa Models, a prominent agency in Munich.
Following three years of occasional gigs, Eva committed herself to modeling full time in 1998 after graduating from high school. Her new focus clearly paid off; within months, she was getting high-profile jobs in Tokyo, Paris and Milan.

Eva's growing reputation led to her first major spokesmodel position in 2000, when Palmers Lingerie wisely chose her to be the face (and body) of their autumn/winter campaign. Eva also increased her international exposure over the next two years with succulent pictorials in Elle, Face, Gloss, Harper's Bazaar, Madame, Vogue, and Marie Claire, among others.

Entitled Dirty White, the self-produced disc has been described as "a colorful music mixture" that combines Worgt's minimalist techno sounds with Eva's fragile, breathy vocals.

Luckily for us, she didn't abandon modeling altogether and she made a particularly memorable appearance in the May 2004 issue of Playboy. Eva was also selected as the spokesmodel for Astor, a popular cosmetics company previously represented by supermodels Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen.
Eva kicked off the following year with a bevy of magazine appearances, including sexy spreads in publications like Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Elle, and perhaps most memorably, the German edition of FHM. In addition to putting Eva on its cover, the racy men's mag also chose her to headline its list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World.

Based upon the best-selling game series Dungeon Siege, the movie also stars Jason Statham, John Rhys-Davies, Ray Liotta, and Burt Reynolds.

text: ATTN ALL OWNERS - PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING ASAP Most of you are probably already aware of this, but for those who are not... There have been issues regarding disconnects during online franchise games after downloading the latest Madden patch. I, myself, have experienced the bug. However, there is a solution (yes, it worked for me and my opponent). From the main startup menu of the PS3 under the "Game" (controller icon)... 1. Scroll to the "Game Data Utility" and select it ("X" on your controller) 2. Scroll to the "Madden 11" file and delete it ("triangle" on your controler and select "Delete") 3. Scroll to the "Saved Data Utility (PS3)" and select it ("X" on your controller) 4. Scroll and delete ALL files (profile, franchise, roster, etc.) that are associated with "Madden 11" ("triangle" on your controller and select "Delete") Once those steps are completed, fire up the game and re-download/install the latest Madden update. Don't forget to reconfigure any profile settings (playbook, audibles, game settings, etc.). That should work any disconnect bugs out that are related to the latest Madden update.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Whenever a major equity average reaches a major milestone, investors should look at the charts to evaluate the risk/reward of that index. The S&P 500 closed above 2000 for the first time on Tuesday so its time to evaluate its daily, weekly and monthly charts.

The daily chart for the S&P 500 shows its price pattern since trading as low as 1343.35 on Nov. 16, 2012. The key for the uptrend was the close on Nov. 21, 2012, above its 200-day simple moving average (green line) at 1382.93. This moving average has not been tested since than and it's at 1876.2 Wednesday morning. The study in red at the bottom of the graph is the 12x3x3 daily slow stochastic at 92.97. This is extremely overbought as this reading is well above the overbought threshold of 80.00.

Going back 20 years the S&P 500 has tested its 200-day simple moving average in every year except 2013 and 2014 year to date. Investors should consider booking profits on a high probability that the 200-day SMA will be tested before the year ends. Keep in mind that the 200-day SMA is considered a short-term "reversion to the mean."

The weekly chart of the S&P 500 is positive with its five-week modified moving average at 1965.74. The green line on this graph is the 200-week simple moving average, which was last tested at 1142.81 in October 2011. Today this average is at 1502.84. This moving average is considered a long-term "reversion to the mean."

Jean Paul Gaultier pays tribute to Britain's 'cult of difference'
French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier paid hommage to London and the British "cult of the difference" as he opened a major retrospective at the city's Barbican on Tuesday.
"This exhibition is a kind of tribute to my love for this city," he said at the launch of "The Fashion world of Jean-Paul Gaultier, From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk".
"I feel more at home (in London) than in Paris in certain ways. There is a unique energy here, a unique eccentricity," he explained, adding that the city is still a great source of inspiration to him.
The charismatic designer, clad entirely in black, sparked hilarity by declaring that the British were now much improved in the kitchen and were in reality "little rascals", contrary to their prudish image.
He recalled that the Brits were the first to take an interest in his work, while the French initially "did not care".
"I have always loved individuality and people with character, and it's true that in London there's more character than anywhere else," he told AFP. "They have this cult of being different that I especially love."
It was in the British capital -- where he came "to party" in the 1970s -- that Gaultier made two significant discoveries: fashion store "Biba", which he described as "like a dream," and the play "The Rocky Horror Show," which heavily influenced his later work.
London is the eighth stop for the exhibition, launched by the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal in 2011. The retrospective, already seen by a million visitors according to the organisers, will be held in Paris at the Grand Palais in 2015.
London's influence on Gaultier is highlighted in the show by silhouettes of punks sporting huge mohawks. The exhibition also pays tribute to his British "muses," including Amy Winehouse, Kate Moss, David Bowie and Boy George.
One room is devoted to "Eurotrash", the outlandish adult television show hosted by Gaultier and Antoine de Caunes on Britain's Channel 4 during the 1990s.
One particular highlight featured the pair in disguise as Prince Charles and his wife Diana, earning it the title of "the grossest show in the history of British television" from tabloid newspaper The Sun.
The exhibition runs from April 9 to August 25.

One can only hope that after this near-debacle the Holy Father realises the total impossibility of getting the average Australian bishop to do anything whatsoever, unless it involves (a) proclaiming "gay rights", (b) rattling the begging bowl on behalf of "social justice" (i.e. forcing the taxpayer to subsidise heretics and, frequently, sex-crims, not least within the school system), (c) yelping blue murder about the evils of "racism", (d) appeasing imams, or (e) all of the above.
The average lay Joe and Jodie Sixpack in the pews would doubtless support all of these policies, often enough combining them with others just as objectionable, such as an ignorant belief in contraception's absolute liceity; but he or she has at least the excuse of deficient or, in practical terms, nonexistent catechesis. What alibi can be invoked to excuse our bishops, some of whom can boast university qualifications in theology from Oxford and Rome?

The Canberra Latin Mass vigil was moderately well attended, at least proportionally to the size of the community.
I only made it to the Cathedral at 10pm and at that time the numbers were thin. The vigil concluded with Benediction at 11pm. Perhaps someone else can report on numbers earlier where 1st Vespers of the 1st Sunday of Advent were sung.
Both were prayerful, reflective and fervent.
However, one might have hoped for a more rousing support of the Holy Father, and Archbishop Coleridge; and in the number of parochial vigils advertised (perhaps they were held but poorly advertised?).
If these vigils were even 20 years ago I think there response in terms of attendance would have been much greater.
One is left with the sense that a significant proportion of Australia's Catholics, clergy and laity alike, are at best indifferent to the importance of these issues or (what I suspect) in de facto apostasy from the Church's teaching on sexual morality (the whole gamit of pre-marital relations, contraception, abortion and homosexuality). Some are openly hostile to this teaching and to the person of the Holy Father.

Glad to hear favourable news of the Canberra vigil. It's ages since I've been in Canberra, but all the Canberra Catholics whom I've met over the years - whether they've been lay people or members of holy orders - have been exceptionally (a) devout, (b) intelligent, (c) highly educated (not at all the same thing, necessarily, as [b]), (d) logical, and (e) activist in the best sense. In other words, I'm not sure that one can extrapolate between on the one hand the achievements of Canberra Catholicism, and on the other hand what frequently passes for Catholic life elsewhere in Australia.
Still, it sounds as if the Canberra vigil was a good deal better than nothing. And nothing was pretty much what we got in my neck of the woods.

Praise God the graces from prayers offered at the Vigils across the world made their way to Victoria where ten (and still counting) Labor politicians who voted in support of Premier Brumby's horrendous Abortion Law Reform Bill 2008 LOST THEIR SEATS !!
Abortion IS an election issue in 2010 thanks to the indefatigable Margaret Tighe and her loyal band of supporters.

What's Hot Today
When done well, sports-themed TV shows can really score. There's nothing more inspirational than a locker room pep talk that pushes a team toward greatness, and there are few things as tense as an underdog's last-second attempt to defeat an unstoppable opponent.

Weigh in below! div.post p { text-align: justify; }
Fans of Eastbound & Down may experience a sense of dj vu while watching Vice Principals . The dark comedies share creators, sensibilities and plots to an almost cannibalistic degree.

EXCLUSIVE: Josh Brolin and Danny McBride areset to star in The Legacy Of A Whitetail Deer Hunter , a movieproject from Scott Rudin Productions and Rough House. The logline is under wraps and details are few on the deal, but Jody Hill is directing a script he co-wrote with McBride and John Carcieri. Shooting is set for the fall.

With "Eastbound & Down" wound down, Andy Daly has a new gig on Comedy Central that requires transforming himself into a overt racist — among other equally horrible and hilarious things. "Review," which premieres on March 6, is a mock newsmagazine show starring Daly as "life critic" Forrest MacNeil, who takes on challenges from viewers interested in what it's like to eat 15 pancakes, sleep with a celebrity, or in this case, be a racist. It's like Morgan Spurlock's "Inside Man" on black-market steroids. Read More... http://www.thewrap.com/eastbound-down-andy-daly-racist-comedy-central-review
The third season of Eastbound and Down was meant to be its last, and in its finale Kenny Powers finally achieved his long-in-the-making comeback, only to realize he was ready to give up baseball for his family ("I'm in a Cameron Crowe movie!"). But then HBO decided they wanted more. A surprise fourth season was ordered, and in its finale , after realizing yet another quest for stardom (this time as a TV host), Kenny once again decided to stick with his family. The encore, with its Six Feet Under –esque climax, was excellent, and series co-creator Jody Hill promises that this time it's really the end. Vulture spoke to him about the genesis of the idea for the finale, having to bring Eastbound to a close twice, and the possibility of revisiting the Powers family on the big screen. ( Spoilers follow for those who haven't watched the finale yet, of course.) Read More... http://www.vulture.com/2013/11/eastbound-and-down-finale-six-feet-under.html
(Spoiler warning: Don't read this if you still plan on watching the stunning finale of "Eastbound & Down") "Eastbound & Down" ended about as well as a comedy can, taking the "Six Feet Under" approach to ludicrous extremes and wrapping up Kenny Powers deranged odyssey without selling him out. We got to see Sacha Baron Cohen as a disgusting network head, Lindsay Lohan as Kenny's grown-up daughter, and Powers (Danny McBride) burning on an African funeral pyre. He kind of accepted that family is more important than fame. But not really.

Well, after four seasons, it seems "Eastbound & Down" has actually come to an end, though the fans have been here before. While the show was expected to end after Kenny faked his death at the end of Season 3, it was revived at the last minute for one more trip.The final season of the show saw Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) rise to fame once again, as part of a sports-themed TV show, hosted by retired baseball player Guy Young (Ken Marino). It didn't take long for the old Kenny to rear his ugly head though, becoming the egotistical and insane person fans know and love. That's when Kenny lost is all, with April filing for divorce.As the final episode picks up, Kenny wants to save his marriage but April reveals she's accepted a job in Santa Fe, New Mexico and was moving with their kids.Meanwhile, Kenny meets the head of the network that airs... http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/11/eastbound-down-series-finale-kenny-powers-says-goodbye-lindsay-lohan-appears.html
The end of "Eastbound & Down" has come and it's going to be an emotional affair. At least, it will for Stevie (Steve Little). After all, anything pertaining to Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) is enough to reduce him to a puddle of tears.When the last episode end off, Kenny's story seemed to reach another end as he made everyone's Christmas wish come true, before disappearing. He isn't going out without a bang, though.The two clips below leave a lot of space to be filled in. Stevie is finally getting the respect from his family he wants, and Kenny is ready to work with him to get to the top. Kenny and Stevie also pull up outside a TV studio, with a huge banner of Powers hanging from it. Is Kenny headed back to TV? Find out when you tune into "Eastbound & Down" for the last time, Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on HBO.... http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/11/eastbound-down-series-finale-clips-our-journey-ends-here-stevie.html
When Eastbound & Down co-creator Jody Hill started making the show with Danny McBride, he remembers HBO voicing reservations about the constant F-word-ing. "HBO was like, 'You don't want to say 'fuck' all the time because it loses its impact,'" Hill tells Vulture. "And we had to have a talk with them and say, 'We don't want it to have an impact, we want this to be the language of the show. That's how it works.' It's just kind of a messed-up show." True to his word, the show's four seasons (the series finale airs Sunday night) have seen a lot of things far more messed up than any profanity. (Quick sampler from recent episodes: Kenny treating his toddler to a viewing of The Human Centipede , and right-hand man Stevie sucking on his wife's supersize breasts in the middle of a shopping mall.) We asked Hill to walk us through six moments he found to be the most-cringe-inducing, telling us which made for the most awkward shooting days, and which one broke his heart. And as a bonus, he told us about the one scene he wanted to do but couldn't get an actor to go along with.

Spotlights the challenges and opportunities that impact the application of foodservice equipment and supplies in the real world including green and energy efficiency concerns, foodservice equipment concerns, the impact of technology on foodservice, and the state of the foodservice economy.
At first glance, renovating a space may seem cheaper and less complicated than building a new foodservice operation from the ground up. That's rarely the case, however, and renovations require extensive up-front research, coordination and more to ensure projects go smoothly.
An efficient, casual café bridges the university's main and downtown campuses and forges a partnership with the local community through its comfortable environment and fresh, made-to-order fare.
Sandwiches now rank among the top 10 breakfast items Americans consume.
With the advent of food on TV and a celebrity chef-inspired culture, consumers want better food everywhere they go, and that includes at the ball park. That's why today's stadium foodservice needs to be flexible enough to handle changing menus and have enough capacity to feed large crowds in short periods of time.
Juice bars offer traditional foodservice operators such as colleges, hospitals and even B&I the opportunity to cash in on consumers' desire to purchase more healthful menu items. Of course, making this kind of transition requires several key foodservice equipment and design considerations.
Foodservice operators looking to purchase new equipment can turn to service agencies for guidance on energy efficiency, reliability and more.
Even the most basic rotating rack oven requires a significant upfront investment from foodservice operators. These operators should take a few basic steps to make sure that investment pays off over the long-term.
Lesson Learned: Food trucks can test-drive a concept and build a solid customer base before a brick-and-mortar restaurant opening.
Lesson Learned: Use a combination of food truck and brick-and-mortar business to maximize daypart potential, boost revenues and grow a larger customer base.
These days it's all in — the right way — or bust. A few years after the food truck boom swept the industry and the nation, the segment shows no signs of stalling or slowing, but the competition is a survival of the fittest. Those who planned their concepts, menus, operations and mobile kitchens well from the get-go and adapted along the way now operate in the fast lane. The rest have suffered — or shuttered.
Homeless and disadvantaged Portland men in need of food, clothing and temporary shelter have greater access than ever before in this LEED Platinum building featuring a contemporary, energy-efficient kitchen.

Bellevue courthouse escapee arrested in Renton Friday
(This information was provided by the Bellevue Reporter, with additional reporting by the Renton Reporter.)
Wendell Downs, who escaped custody at the Bellevue District Courthouse last month, was arrested at around noon today in Renton, according to the Bellevue Police Department.
At the request of the Bellevue Police Department, Renton Police assisted with the arrest as Downs had fled into Renton.
Updates will be reported as soon as they are available.
Downs, 20, had been in custody since Nov. 12, when he was booked on first-degree robbery, second-degree organized retail theft and two other felony theft charges. He was at the Bellevue Courthouse Jan. 31 for a misdemeanor traffic case.
A Bellevue police support officer brought Downs and another inmate to the courthouse from the King County Jail around 11 a.m. Both inmates had their hands shackled in front of them and feet shackled to prevent them from running.
Downs is reported to have started running after he was helped out of the van and is believed to have been picked up by his girlfriend, Tanjanique Hillis, at the bottom of the courthouse driveway.
Hillis was arrested at another King County Courthouse on Feb. 18.

Our second stab at the Oscars contains make-up effects and score (">read part 1 here). The make-up effects, followed by the visual effects and technical awards, remain my favorite parts of the show; here you got to see your heroes: Rick Baker, Howard Berger, Chris Walas or Rob Bottin in the audience. Even the great Stan Winston could have been out there, back in the day. Though best known for his "visual effects" wins—he brought home an Oscar for best make-up in 1991 for Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Here genre fans can rejoice, Greg Cannom brought home the gold, again, for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Cannom, a genre elder, worked alongside (just to name a few) Fincher, Coppola, Landis, Dante, Blatty, and Cohen creating all sorts of character and creature make-ups.
This part of the list also has a Lost Boys connection; Cannom designed the make-up and Thomas Newman, nominated for WALL·E created the score. Elfman also makes the list under score, his achievements already rock and I love to mention Nightbreed when I can.

And The Winner Of The Chris Wheeler Guessing Game Is…26 Jul
One Response to "And The Winner Of The Chris Wheeler Guessing Game Is…"
Tom Hagen April 6, 2011 at 9:09 pm #
Hello Chris Wheeler,
You mentioned the rivalry between Marple and Springfield and the coaches Lou Bonder and Ace Bell being such a great one which it was, but I believe there was even a greater rivalry between both teams and Penncrest during the late 50's. Most teams wanted to play Penncrest because we were in Lima and they thought we were just a bunch of farmers and an easy win. They didn't know most of us were from Media-Rose Tree and had been coached in the early 50's by the same coaches that coached the 1957 Little League PA Champs. In particular our 1959 Penncrest team coached by Bill Kaufman was 9-2 and I believe we beat both Marple and Springfield.
However, no one has the record books. We would all like to know for sure what the scores were that spring. If you can help or recommend someone to dig up the old records from 52 years ago it would be tremendously appreciated.
Tom Hagen
