Ribbon cutting Friday at Fort Carson museum
Monday, June 13, 2011
With World War I memorabilia, weapons from the D-Day assault on Utah beach and relics from the capture of Saddam Hussein, the first version of the Mountain Post Historical Center will celebrate a ribbon-cutting at Fort Carson on Friday.
At 3,600 square feet, it's much smaller than the $6 million museum boosters hope to put outside the post's main gate. But backers say it is a symbol of bigger things to come.
"It's tangible evidence of that our effort is moving forward," said retired Army Lt. Gen. Ed Soriano, who is leading the museum effort.
The Mountain Post Historical Association has kicked off its latest fundraising campaign to build a 12,800-square-foot glass walled museum. But the effort to preserve Fort Carson history is starting in a brick building near the planned site that will eventually become a warehouse for the larger facility. The smaller museum will open to the public in early July.
There's a lot to see.
On display are artifacts gathered by Fort Carson's 4th Infantry Division since World War I that explain how soldiers survived from the muddy trenches of France to Vietnamese jungles.
The displays are aimed to train new GIs at the post on the legacy they're expected to uphold. The museum also shows Fort Carson's peacetime role in national defense.
"Educating soldiers on history is a vital component to military success," said Steve Ruhnke, the museum's curator.
But while earlier Fort Carson history displays were behind well-guarded gates, the new museum is just off Colorado 115 at Nelson Boulevard, outside Fort Carson's fence and open to the public.
Soriano said organizers plan a children's area inside the museum in an effort to help school children envision the sacrifices made by earlier generations.
He said people in Colorado Springs who want to know more about their military neighbors, veterans and military retirees will also benefit from visiting the museum.
But the biggest beneficiary of the museum's opening may be the effort to build a bigger museum.
Soriano thinks the small-scale taste of what a public military museum will bring to the region will whet the appetite of donors.
"We've got the buzz going and the interest going," Soriano said. "Now we've got something to show them."
The effort to build the museum for Fort Carson started in 2004. But fundraising efforts stalled during the economic downturn and budget problems led the military to cut money tabbed for the project. Backers of the museum remain $5.5 million short of their fundraising goal.
But dreams of the museum, and the tourism it could draw, haven't ebbed. And Soriano said the museum group is confident that the cash will start coming its way.
Backers want the bigger museum with its glass walls overlooking Cheyenne Mountain to open in 2014.
Fort Carson breaks ground on new museum
Monday, May 03, 2010
FORT CARSON, COLO. -- Fort Carson officials broke ground on a new museum Thursday.
The groundbreaking marks Phase I of a three-phase project intended to bring history to the Mountain Post.
The idea for the historical center began in 1999 when members of the community organized the Mountain Post Historical Association.
Phase I of the project began with a groundbreaking of a temporary artifact display facility. Phase II is a much larger and a permanent historical facility and Phase III is a community effort to enhance that facility.
"Today is a significant day. It's a milestone in our efforts to make this a reality," said Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Ed Soriano, who is the president and chairman of the Mountain Post Historical Association.
And with a scoop of dirt, a long-standing dream is coming true.
"A facility that we want to build on behalf of the community and build for Fort Carson. A historical center that will talk about the 68-year history of Fort Carson and its relationship with the community, and to recognize the thousands of soldiers who have come and gone in this installation serving our country and our nation," said Soriano.
The museum will be filled with artifacts ranging from the World War I time period to present day.
"In fact, we have a few of the items that were captured with Saddam when he was captured during Operation Red Dawn. The 4th I.D. First Brigade was involved with that. So we have several items including the money box that was with him," said Steve Ruhnke, curator for the Fort Carson 4th I.D. Museum.
The Mountain Post Historical Association says the museum is a way to honor the men and women who serve our country every day.
"It truly is a way to recognize the contributions and the sacrifices that the great men and women have made to our nation," said Soriano.
And for Purple Heart recipient, Latoya Lucas, it means a lot.
"Not only would this project tell my story and what service members, especially soldiers from this post been through, but it will promote patriotism in our youth," said Lucas.
Terry Sullivan, president and CEO of Experience Colorado Springs at Pikes Peak, says the museum would also serve as a tourist attraction and estimates that it would receive 75,000 visitors each year.
"Ultimately it will become the icon of the Mountain Post and I would hope that it would be used by all of the soldiers stationed here and people who visit the Mountain Post," said Sullivan.
But the real purpose of the museum is to ensure that we never forget.
"There is probably no thing that worries a soldier more than people not recognizing what they've done and forgetting the sacrifice they've made," said Denny Cripps, campaign director for the Mountain Post Historical Center.
But the Mountain Post Historical Center does need help.
"We certainly need support. In any way possible whether it's financial, volunteer, you name it. Whatever support we can generate to make this a reality. We're well on our way to making it a reality but certainly support from the community is needed," said Soriano.
If all goes according to plan the project will be completed in 2013.

Did you hear the one about the Russian Woodpecker? Newsweek tells the tale:
… Read the restDormant for a decade and a half, the Russian Woodpecker appeared to return in December 2013. Once, the notorious tapping of the massive Soviet over-the-horizon radar had frustrated and puzzled Western radio operators, who could discern neither the origin nor purpose of the strange signal. It was coming from somewhere behind the Iron Curtain; its frequency, 10Hz, made some think it was intended for mind control. In 1981, an NBC newscaster wondered, "Are they trying reduce us to a zombie stumbling and groping around and waiting to be told what to do?" And, no, he wasn't hosting Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.
Even after the fall of the Soviet Union, the 14,000-ton military radar installation in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belorussia, has remained a mystery to outside observers, largely because it sits right next to the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station, where a reactor meltdown in the spring of 1986 rendered the surrounding area uninhabitable for the next, oh, several thousand years.

Bulls v Blues - Live
80 Bulls 38 Blues 22
80 CONVERSION, BULLS, POLLARD! Handre Pollard seals the win for the hosts from the kicking tee and that's the final act of this match. On the balance of play, the Bulls deserve that victory but credit to the Blues who fought back well, particularly in the second half.
79 TRY, BULLS, VAN DER MERWE! 36-22. The Bulls attack with their forwards in front of the Blues' posts and Marcel van der Merwe runs on to a pass from Van Zyl who crashes over the try-line! That secures the hosts' bonus-point for scoring four tries!
77 The Blues are hammering away at the Bulls' line but make little headway. After 10 phases Hickey delivers a grubber kick but it bounces off a Bulls boot into the arms of Marcel van der Merwe who goes to ground.
74 Piet van Zyli s caught in possession at the base of the scrum and Jacques Engelbrecht and du Plessis go off their feet at the resulting ruck. They are penalised for their efforts and Hickey puts the ball out about 10 metres from the hosts'' 22.
71 The Blues are throwing the kitchen sink at their hosts in an attempt to narrow the gap! They are soon inside the Bulls' 22 but Luatua is bundled into touch by Engelbrecht.
69 The Bulls are awarded a penalty after Akhi is penalised for side entry at a ruck. Potgieter kicks for touch and puts the ball into touch on the halfway mark.
67 PENALTY, BULLS, POTGIETER! 31-22. Potgieter makes up for that earlier miss after Weepu is pinged for an indiscretion at a ruck.
65 PENALTY, BULLS, POTGIETER! 28-22. Potgieter gets a chance to slot another penalty, after Brendon O'Connor is blown up for being offside at a ruck. He strikes it well but it's just wide of the mark!
63 PENALTY, BLUES, HICKEY! 28-22. Hickey adds another three-pointer after Piet van Zyl is penalised for straying offside at a ruck.
61 Werner Kruger is penalised for using an illegal bind at a scrum. Hickey kicks for touch and puts the ball out on the hosts' 10-metre line.
59 CONVERSION, BLUES, HICKEY! 28-19. Hickey adds the extras to narrow the gap to nine points.
58 TRY, BLUES, AKHI! 28-17. The Blues attack from a line-out on the Bulls' five-metre line and when the ball comes out to the backs, Hickey stabs a grubber kick through and Pita Akhi dives onto the ball.
56 The centurion, Ndungane, gets a rousing applause from the home crowd as he is replaced by Ulrich Beyers.
53 From a scrum on their five-metre line, the Blues launch an attack. Hickey gathers and delivers a chip kick for Halai to chase, but the plan backfires as Basson gathers on the edge of his 22.
50 The Bulls make a tactical change, taking off Stegmann, who is replaced by Jacques Engelbrecht. This means Ross will move to openside flank while Engelbrecht slots in at the back of the scrum.
47 PENALTY, BULLS, POTGIETER! 28-12. Potgieter lands another three-pointer, from the kicking tee, after Hickey is pinged for not rolling away at a ruck.
44 The Bulls take the ball through 11 phases and are soon close to the Blues' try-line. Potgieter then launches a cross-field kick and Ndungane outjumps two defenders but knokcs on as he comes to ground behind the visitors' try-line!
41 The Bulls get the second have started and Potgieter launches a deep kick which Donnelly gathers. He sets up a ruck on the edge of his 22 before Weepu launches a bomb which Jurgens Visser gathers.
40 Bulls 25 Blues 12
40 TRY, BULLS, SERFONTEIN! 25-12. The Bulls take the ball through several phases with their forwards until Hougaard throws a long pass to Serfontein, who crashes over in the right-hand corner! Potgieter fails with the conversion and the referee blows his whistle to signal half-time. It's been an entertaining opening period and the Bulls certainly deserve their lead. The Blues are still in with a shout but will have to be more patient on attack if they want to breach the Bulls' defence.
39 Luke Braid makes a break inside the Bulls' half and when he is close to their 22, he kicks ahead. Willison and Jan Serfontein gives chase but it's Serfontein who gets there first and dots down.
37 Hickey throws a long pass inside his 22 to Tevita Li. The young wing make some progress but is brought to ground by three defenders close to the halfway mark.
34 From a scrum just inside his 22, Weepu gathers and stabs a grubber kick through which rolls into touch less than 10 metres from his 22-metre line. Bizarre decision and poor execution from the All Black.
32 PENALTY, BLUES, HICKEY! 20-12. Hickey succeeds with his fourth penalty after Deon Stegmann fails to release a tackled player on the ground.
29 CONVERSION, BULLS, POTGIETER! 20-9. Potgieter adds the easy two-pointer to extend his side's lead.
28 TRY, BULLS, ROSS! 18-9. The Bulls attack inside the Blues' 22 but the ball is ripped from Callie Visagie's grasp and goes loose. Tom Donnelly scoops it backwards but there's no one home and Jono Ross pounces before scoring under the posts!
26 The Blues do well to take the ball through 10 phases, close to the Bulls' 22, but they are met by a wall of defenders and make little headway.
23 PENALTY, BLUES, HICKEY! 13-9. Hickey retains his perfect goal-kicking record in this match, with another three-pointer from the kicking tee, after Jacques du Plessis is pinged for being offside.
20 PENALTY, BULLS, POTGIETER! 13-6. Potgieter succeeds with another three-pointer after Piri Weepu is penalised for a crooked feed at a scrum.
18 The Bulls are on the attack just outside the Blues' 22 but they lose possession when Hougaard knocks on after great pressure from Willison.
15 PENALTY,BLUES, HICKEY! 10-6. Hickey cancels out Potgieter's snap-shot with a well-taken place kick after Dean Greyling is pinged for entering a ruck illegally.
13 DROP GOAL, BULLS, POTGIETER! 10-3. The Bulls attack inside the Blues' 22 and Potgieter drops back and lands a snap-shot from about 20-metres out to restore his side's seven-point lead!
11 PENALTY, BLUES, HICKEY! 7-3. Hickey opens the Blues' account, from the kicking tee, after Deon Stegmann is pinned for offside play.
9 CONVERSION, BULLS, POTGIETER! 7-0. Potgieter dusts himself off and adds the two pointer which extends the home side's lead!
8 TRY, BULLS, POTGIETER! 5-0. From a scrum on the Blues' five-metre line, the Bulls win a tighthead and go onto the attack. Jacques-Louis Potgieter shrugs off a challenge from Jackson Willison before crashing over the try-line!
6 The Bulls take the ball through numerous phases and are soon camped close to the Blues' try-line! At a ruck, Francois Hougaard passes to Ndungane, who with a deft flick of the hands offloads to Callie Visagie, who knocks on with an open try-line in front of him!
3 The Blues show great patience as they take the ball through several phases, just outside the home side's 22. Charles Piutau makes a mini break but is tackled to ground and when the ball is recycled Steven Luatua carries with great determination. He's soon inside the Bulls' 22 but is tackled into touch by Bjorn Basson and JJ Engelbrecht.
it''s been raining heavily in Pretoria all week and Simon Hickey gets the game underway in wet conditions. His kick is deep and is collected deep inside the Bulls 22 by the centurion Akona Ndungane. He offloads to Jacques du Plessis, who sets up a ruck five metres from his 22-metre line.
There's a late change to the Blues starting line-up. Keven Mealamu has withdrawn due to injury and his place at hooker is taken by James Parsons. Tom McCartney takes Parsons' place on the bench.
Veterans Keven Mealamu and Tony Woodcock will make their first Super Rugby starts of the season for the Blues. After playing 30 minutes off the bench last week, the All Blacks centurions have been promoted to the starting XV and will form an all-All Black front row alongside Charlie Faumuina. The only other change to the starting XV comes at lock where Liaki Moli has been selected ahead of Patrick Tuipulotu. On the bench, rugby league convert Benji Marshall has been omitted from the matchday 23, with Chris Noakes given the nod as replacement fly-half due to his superior tactical kicking abilities.
Bulls boss Frans Ludeke has made three changes to his starting XV for this clash. The big news from their camp is that veteran wing Akona Ndungane will become the ninth Bulls player to play 100 Super Rugby matches for the franchise. Werner Kruger comes into the tighthead position for Frik Kirsten, who has been ruled out for the seqason with a back injury. Flanker Deon Stegmann will start for the first time in this year's competition. Stegmann has recovered from a groin strain and will replace Jono Ross at number six. Ross moves to number eight in place of Grant Hattingh. Ludeke made one change on the bench as well. Fit-again prop Morne Mellett is set to make his first appearance for the team this year.
Good day and welcome to Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria for our live coverage of this Super Rugby match between our hosts, the Bulls, and the Blues. We're set for an entertaining encounter as both sides are on a high after winning their first matches last weekend. We'll be back soon with team news.

Google Tweaks AdWords My Client Center To Help Agencies Work Together
Google has made some changes to its My Client Center (MCC) for agencies that allow up to five different MCCs to be linked to a single AdWords account. The new feature, called multiple links, is meant to allow a variety of entities — agencies, SEMs, API developers and others — working for a single client to all manage the account.
The multiple links feature also means that Google will no longer distinguish between UI/API and API-only links, which means this option will disappear when you link a MCC to a child account.
It's important to note, however, that there's still only one active budget at a time. And each budget can only be associated with one Manager Defined Budget which is, in turn, only associated with one MCC. So, coordination between agencies will be important.
The same coordination, and clear definition of roles and responsibilities, will be critical because any of the MCCs attached to an account can make changes, raising the possibility of one agency making a change that is reversed by another.
To answer agencies' questions about multiple links and optional-login accounts, Google will be hosting a webinar on Wednesday, June 8. Register here with the event password googleMCC.

I need you, mom
This journey so quiet, precipitous and winding, mom. Shall there is a cup of longing, -
I wanna go back to home
I want to go home, go back to home, no place to go home, Where should I go home? -

I feel like play-doh. I'm being pulled apart, stretched out of shape and tossed around by big kids. If I try and get myself together, I'll be tossed aside for something new. So, I'll morph into something else. Something you've never seen before, something unbreakable.

About us
GameCoder Studios is an independent game studio located in the colonial city of Guanajuato, México. We develop technology and games for Windows, Linux, and Mac.
We met the world of computer science since high school participating in several international programming contests like Google CodeJam, IOI and ICPC in which the three of us: Alberto, Luis, and Marcel represented respectively our university and our country. After finishing our life of programming contests, while looking for new challenges, we teamed up and started GameCoder Studios.
2010 - GC Engine
We created GameCoder Studios with the idea of developing in-house technology. In 2010 we started the development of the GC Engine: a robust game engine with high visual quality. Many of the rendering techniques used in GC Engine were researched by ourselves; some of these were presented in SIGGRAPH 2011.
2011 to 2013 - Attractio
In 2011 we started the development of Attractio, a FPS/Puzzle game based on GC Engine. In 2013, with Attractio on alpha level we successfully devoted ourselves to raising funds for our start-up. In 2013 Alfonso Cabrera and Caleb Mendez (a.k.a. Poncho and Mafa) joined our team collaborating in marketing, sales, and public relations and Caleb as screenwriter and creative consultant.
GameCoder Studios team is growing and working in many projects including Attractio, the GC Engine and its ports to other platforms.

Woodbury Area tops St. Paul Park
Woodbury Area sent St. Paul Park's losing streak to nine games last week.
St. Paul Park's loss to Woodbury Area was part of a string of six consecutive losses last week.
The Parkers (6-34, 3-15) had a chance to end that streak Friday against Woodbury Area (3-10) but errors and other miscues cost them.
St. Paul Park led 4-1 in the fifth inning, but committed two errors in the fifth inning that allowed three runs to score to allow Woodbury Area to tie the game.

Mark-resight designs for estimation of population abundance are common and attractive to researchers. However, inference from such designs is very limited when faced with sparse data, either from a low number of marked animals, a low probability of detection, or both. In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, yearly mark-resight data are collected for female grizzly bears with cubs-of-the-year (FCOY), and inference suffers from both limitations. To overcome difficulties due to sparseness, we assume homogeneity in sighting probabilities over 16 years of bi-annual aerial surveys. We model counts of marked and unmarked animals as multinomial random variables, using the capture frequencies of marked animals for inference about the latent multinomial frequencies for unmarked animals. We discuss undesirable behavior of the commonly used discrete uniform prior distribution on the population size parameter and provide OpenBUGS code for fitting such models. The application provides valuable insights into subtleties of implementing Bayesian inference for latent multinomial models. We tie the discussion to our application, though the insights are broadly useful for applications of the latent multinomial model.

Postpartum Depression Decades Ago
Posted Jul 15 2013 12:50pm
Earlier this year, a woman with an adult son reached out to me after having found this blog a few years prior and occasionally commenting from the perspective of a woman born in the 1950's. I was elated to hear from someone who was willing to discuss their experience so many years later, particularly as B. brings the perspective of a different generation, in fact that of my own parents. As we know, parenting methods and medical practices were much different in the 1970's than they are today. Many things have changed in 30+ years, some for the better and some, like mothers generally shifting from supporting one another to judging each other, for the worse. Thank you to B. for taking the time, decades later, to care enough about other moms to write the following letter.
I survived PPD in the late 70's after the birth of my son. I was hospitalized for a few months when the depression became so severe I was suicidal. I was able to get well with ECT and returned to my old self when my son was nine months old. My illness was not discussed in my family openly and I had no further children. I returned to work and had a very successful career and hope to retire soon. The memory of my experience is still painful. I have huge admiration for the courage and perseverance of young women, like yourself, who can be open about their experience with PPD and even have more children. We've come a long way in 30+ years and even further since our grandmothers were young mothers. As an example, I recently found a book titled, "Expectant Motherhood" by Nicholson J. Eastman, M.D. It was originally published in 1940, updated in 1947 and lastly in 1957. Following is the only information it has on postpartum depression:
"The Baby Blues." – There are sound scientific grounds for believing that the nervous system after delivery is more sensitive than at other times. Even if this were not so, it would be surprising if this long-anticipated event of childbirth, so epoch-making to the young woman, so far-reaching in its ramifications, did not occasionally evoke profound emotional responses. Most common among such reactions, perhaps, is what is colloquially called the "Baby Blues." About the time that everything is going perfectly in the puerperium, with mother and baby both flourishing and everybody happy, the mother, for no accountable reason, bursts into a good, long cry. Nothing can stop her; persuasion is futile; she simply continues to sob and weep for a good half hour. When the episode is over, she can offer no explanation, "It just came over me, " she says. Such reactions rarely recur and following them the mother usually feels much better. In view of all that has taken place during the past nine months,
it requires no psychiatrist to interpret episodes of this kind, but simply an understanding heart
." [bold added].
How difficult it must have been to have PPD considered rare and requiring nothing but an understanding heart! Today it is recognized as a risk of childbirth and hopefully discussed with mothers-to-be and their families. There are more treatment options and support available while healing and getting back to "normal". I would encourage mothers and daughters to share not only the best parts of pregnancy and childbirth, but also if they had PPD, to discuss it openly and honestly and take steps to deal with it if it should occur. We are not "bad" mothers, but mothers with an illness that can be cured.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The new business model is traditional
Former PM touts aboriginal-education program
RUSSELL -- Isaac Brandon is a really bright youth from Waywayseecappo First Nation who's come up with an idea for a pen that carries extra cartridges for emergency injections of insulin.
Paul Martin was impressed.
The former prime minister doesn't impress all that easily.
But here were Martin and Brandon in the same classroom of Major Pratt School Wednesday, the fifth anniversary of the Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative, and Martin was in Russell for the formal official launch of the local program, which began in January.
An affable and avuncular Martin moved immediately into teaching mode.
SDLqWhat's the first advice you'd give Brandon?" he asked the class of First Nations students.
Patent it, someone said.
Martin slowly revealed the answer: Brandon needs to prove no one else had previously had the idea.
"Skylar, would you use this?" Martin asked student Skylar Seaton. "Do you know, in fact, it's not going to do more harm than good? How do you do it?"
Over the next 10 minutes, Martin led the students through the realization the product must be medically approved, government-certified, then advertised and promoted through doctors who would recommend it to their patients.
"How would you price it?" asked Martin.
That question led to all kinds of learning about material costs, the costs of research and development, manufacturing, advertising, labour and everything else that goes into business decisions.
"The concept of the course -- teaching entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting -- that in itself is not new," Martin had explained earlier. "None of this has ever been offered before to aboriginal Canadians, or, as we understand, to indigenous people anywhere."
Martin's project assigned aboriginal teachers to develop aboriginal textbooks and lesson plans that incorporate aboriginal culture and traditions.
At an assembly at Major Pratt, Martin told the students that prior to European contact, trade flourished from the Far North to the Gulf of Mexico along enormous trade routes. There was manufacturing of pottery and other goods along with a massive agricultural industry.
"For reasons that are inexplicable and unfair, First Nations and M©tis were shut out of the economy. First Nations and M©tis have business in their blood -- you have a huge history behind you, and it's a history of success," he said.
The idea of the business-oriented project is to keep young aboriginal students in school and offer them another path that could lead to post-secondary education and a career.
Just this week, Martin flew to Montreal, Lethbridge, Fort Simpson, The Pas, Grand Rapids, Russell and Winnipeg to promote the program.
He said it's up to aboriginal leaders and education authorities to invite his program into the community.
In Russell, Park West School Division and Waywayseecappo First Nation will sign an agreement May 27 to entrench a pilot project, believed to be unique in Canada, in which the reserve's nursery- to-Grade 8 school becomes part of the school division, and is funded at public school rates, while the band is a partner in all decision-making.
"There is absolutely no excuse for the federal government not to provide education funding," said Martin, adding he thought it was appalling Ottawa funds reserve schools 20 to 30 per cent less per student than children in the provincial system.
"That's immoral, and it's also economically dumb," he said.
Martin, the renowned slayer of deficits, is a little less emphatic when asked why he didn't eliminate that school-funding gap in his nine years as federal finance minister and his nearly 27-month stint as prime minister between 1993 to 2006. His Kelowna Accord would have done so, he said, referring to the agreement with provinces and native leaders reached in late 2005 just before his government fell.
Working together is essential, Martin told students in Russell.
During his time in the western Manitoba town, Martin was bubbling over with praise for Manitoba's Department of Education, and particularly for deputy education minister Gerald Farthing, who Martin said should be sent on a lecture tour across North America to talk about improving education opportunities for aboriginal youth.
"If we do this right," Farthing said in Russell, "the skills and knowledge that students leave with will be relevant. There is so much more we can do if we work together."
The Waywayseecappo and Park West partnership "is a model the rest of us should pay attention to," said Farthing.
"The Department of Education in Manitoba, I can't speak more highly of it," Martin said. "The innovation they've brought to aboriginal education is remarkable."

Rachel McAdams and Injured Michael Sheen Pictures
Rachel and Michael Stick Together in Life, Not on Film
Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen stepped out in sunny LA on Sunday to pick up produce at a farmers market. Rachel did all the heavy lifting and carried the groceries back to the car since Michael appeared to be nursing a newly injured right arm.
The pair are back in California after a brief trip out of town, though they didn't make the journey to Italy to support their Terrence Malick flick, To the Wonder at the Venice Film Festival. Rachel stars opposite Ben Affleck in the drama, but Michael actually isn't in the finished product. Michael's role was cut from the film, as was Rachel Weisz's, Barry Pepper's, and Amanda Peet's. Up next, Rachel's reportedly heading home to Canada where her thriller Passion is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday.

Ambience was perfect for a nice ski get-away. The hot tub area outdoors was the highlight with an on going burning firepit. Inside there were some nice, beautifully decorated sitting areas away from the casino area that were lovely. Staff were all great!
Having a coffee maker and microwave in the room would have made this hotel an absolute 10.

Years active | 2003–present |
Tommy Wiseau (/wəˈsoʊ/) is a director, screenwriter, producer and actor. He is best known for The Room (2003), which has been described as "one of the worst movies ever made" and has gained cult film status.[1] He also directed the 2004 documentary Homeless in America and the pilot episode of a sitcom called The Neighbors.[2][3]
Wiseau is secretive about his early life.[4] He claimed to have grown up in New Orleans, Louisiana,[5][6] and to have lived in France "a long time ago",[7] moving back and forth between the United States and Europe throughout his life. Wiseau spent some time in France before moving to Chalmette, Louisiana.[8]
Actor Greg Sestero claims in his book The Disaster Artist that Wiseau moved to Strasbourg, France as a young adult, where he adopted the name Pierre and worked as a restaurant dishwasher, later moving to San Francisco, where he worked as a street vendor selling toys to tourists near Fisherman's Wharf. Sestero recounts how locals nicknamed him "The Birdman" for his unique bird toys that were only popular in Europe at the time; this moniker led him to legally change his name to Thomas Pierre Wiseau, "taking the French word for bird, oiseau, and swapping out the O for the W of his birth name".[9] A Reddit user suggested that the "W" may be related to Wieczor, the surname of a couple in Louisiana who may be Wiseau's aunt and uncle.[10] According to Sestero, Wiseau worked in the San Francisco Bay Area in a variety of jobs, including restaurant busboy and hospital worker, as well as a second business called Street Fashions USA, selling irregular blue jeans at discounted prices. Wiseau eventually purchased and rented out large retail spaces in and around San Francisco and Los Angeles, making him independently wealthy.[9]
Sestero claims that a young Wiseau was wrongfully arrested following a drug raid at a youth hostel, and was detained and tortured for an indeterminate period of time by French police, a traumatic experience that led him to arrange passage to America to live with his aunt and uncle in Chalmette, Louisiana.[9] Sestero recounts that at some point in late adulthood, Wiseau was involved in a near-fatal car crash in California after another driver ran a red light and struck Wiseau's vehicle; as a result, Wiseau was hospitalized for several weeks. Sestero believes that this incident was the turning point in Wiseau's life that led him to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor and director, ambitions that he had long neglected while pursuing financial security.[9]
In interviews following the release of The Room, Wiseau gave an age which puts his birth date in 1968 or 1969.[11]
In his 2013 memoir The Disaster Artist, actor Sestero related that Wiseau offered several stories about his past, over the course of their 15-year friendship.[9] Sestero claims to have obtained copies of Wiseau's immigration papers via his brother's girlfriend, revealing that Wiseau was "much older" than he claimed,[9] and that he was born in the 1950s somewhere in the Eastern Bloc of communist Europe.[9] Some researchers have put forth that Wiseau may very likely have been from Poland based on documents found regarding his family's ancestry.[12]
Wiseau's best known production is the film The Room, released in 2003. Its budget was $6 million, the financing of which has remained a source of intrigue, and was based on an unpublished 540-page novel written by Wiseau himself.[13] The movie was immediately lambasted by critics,[14] but ultimately became a "cult classic" with late-night showings at theaters around the world. Audience members typically arrive wearing wigs resembling their favorite characters, interact with the dialogue on screen, and throw plastic cutlery and footballs around the theater. This attention grew into what was dubbed The Room's 2010–2011 "Love is Blind" International Tour, with the movie being screened in the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Australia and India, among other locations. Wiseau appears at many of these events, posing for photographs with fans and often addressing the audience before screenings.[15]
In 2004 Wiseau produced and appeared in a short documentary, Homeless in America. In 2010, Wiseau acted in a short film entitled The House That Drips Blood on Alex, a parody horror film written and produced by sketch comedy group Studio8. The film had a preview showing at Comic-Con on July 24, 2010. It premiered on Comedy Central and appeared online on October 14, 2010.[16][17]
Wiseau has stated that he has been influenced by the films The Guns of Navarone and Citizen Kane, and specifically the actors James Dean and Marlon Brando.[18][19][13] According to Sestero, Wiseau's obsession with James Dean was so intense that he often visited a Los Angeles restaurant owned by a former acquaintance of Dean's, and that several lines of dialogue in The Room (including the infamous cry "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!") were based on lines from Rebel Without a Cause.[9]
In 2008, Wiseau produced and appeared in the pilot episode of a television series called The Neighbors. A trailer for The Neighbors showed a series of clips set in an office. The show's website, accompanied by trailers and announcements at The Room showings in 2014, stated that the show is coming to Comedy.TV in September 2014.[20]
In 2009, Wiseau guest-starred in an episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! entitled "Tommy", wherein Wiseau guest-directed a segment entitled "Pigman". After expressing a desire to work with the duo again,[18] Tim and Eric announced in 2009 that they were developing two series for Wiseau.[21]
In 2010, Wiseau appeared in Marc Wooton's 2010 comedy TV series, 'La La Land'. In a mockumentary format, Wooton's character, Gary Garner, accepted a role in Wiseau's present production at the time, and caused Wiseau to kick Wooton off set after Wooton alluded to using production funds to buy instant lotto tickets.
In 2011, Wiseau starred in a YouTube web series called Tommy Explains it All, in which he explained his views on various topics ranging from Citizen Kane to the art of kissing.[22] Wiseau has also starred in segments on Machinima.com called The Tommy Wi-Show. The segments show Wiseau playing various video games, such as Mortal Kombat, Driver: San Francisco, and offering commentary.[23][24][25]

Best bargain small porro's
I'm looking for a pair of lightweight porro's to give somebody as a birthday present.
Whilst I realise they're seriously unfashionable surely there must be something out there apart from the Nikon E II and SE that will give a reasonable performance. The Opticron SR GA 8x32 sound like a possible and at sub £160 good value for money. The binoculars are to be used primarily as a walkabout pair. The owner has another pair of larger Swift Audubon porro's which are great for use in a hide however climbing up and down mountains with them is a bit too much. Compacts eg. Nikon Travelites are out due to the limited depth of field and narrow field of view. Suggestions welcome - please! Thanks |

Warehouse Express have Opticron TGA 8x32 at £69 which sounds great value. I have used the 8x42 TGA WP and they are great. Not sure if the ones on offer are the waterproof version though.

There is some play in the bridge mechanism but due to the excellent depth of focus it's no big deal. Matt |

There are a few 8x30 porros around, just look at local brands. Even the nikon 7x35 Actions work OK for many people. The 8x40s tend to be heavy.
Opticron 8x32 specs look OK, 540g weight.

I am surprised they have not been mentioned but the 6x30 and 8x30 Leupold Yosemites offer very good optical performance considering their $75 and $95 price tags. Other than that the 7x35 and 8x40 Nikon Action EXs and the Minox and Leupold Cascade internal focus porros should be worthy of a look.

Well, we had to wait for you. I have only seen one Yosemite once. It was cute.

I have the 6 x 30's. Very fine little binoculars indeed; rugged and waterproof to boot! I don't know if you can get them in Europe though. Robert (Swissboy) in Switzerland recently managed to get some 8 x 30's for his students. http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=55591&page=3 See thread 59. Cordially, Bob |

Thanks everybody for the replies.
We went out earlier today and tested a few pairs of 8x32's at WWT Martin Mere. The test itself was to ignore all the birds and look into an old timber barn at just over 1000m away. The more detail that could be resolved inside the barn the better. After testing an Opticron imagic porro's, Nikon Monarch 8x36, Minox BN 8x32, some larger Monarchs 8x42 -I think and Delta 10x40-ish the clear winner was the Minox 8x32 roof prisms. We were astonished by the quality of the Minox and with the benefits of being waterproof, a generous guarantee etc. that's what we bought. Since then I've been trying to find out who Minox are. Apparently until a fairly recent management buyout they were a subsidary of Leica. As Leica have retained 49% of the shares I suspect Minox manufacture Leica binoculars under licence. This may account for their surprisingly good quality. |

Hmm? They are Roofs not Porros. Are they the Minox BD 8x32 BR Aspheric series which weigh 21.9 Ounces ($400.00 USA) or the lighter weight Minox BL 8x32 BR (non aspheric) series which weigh 18.5 ounces ($349.00 USA)? US prices from Eagle Optics. http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=91918 See thread #22.

Hi Bob - yeah they're roofs alright the MINOX BD 8x32 BR asph to be precise. I almost feel like I've sold out deserting the porro's. Whilst at the top end of the market I've been convinced about the benefits of roofs for a while at the sub £250/$400 I honestly didn't expect the performance of the Minox roofs to exceed the Opticron porro's.
Alexis - The packaging and paperwork identify Minox as being based in Wetzlar, Germany. Given the international nature of these things I'll put my money on the actual manufacturing being carried out in China. Strange they also do a 62mm scope like their more prestigious neighbour in Wetzlar. |
