The Kind of List I'd Rather Not Have to Make
Which reminds me of my interpretation of prayer based on my CCD classes as a kid. Every week, we'd go to catechism and learn what-have-you about Catholicism. (I'd say it was about the Bible or about Jesus, but it doesn't feel like that's what I learned about.)
Anyway, I got it into my head at the age of 6 or 7 that everyone was stuck in purgatory and they just needed to have a certain number of prayers said in their name to make it into heaven. I feared that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were just a handful of prayers away from crossing the threshold, so I included prayers for their souls every night for quite some time.
A few years ago, I related that story to my mom, Pete's Aunt Margaret and her friend Margaret. The next morning, my mom and Friend Margaret both mentioned that they had included the two in their prayers as well. Do you think that pushed them over the total number needed?
Back to the heartfelt prayers I do nowadays. Reading the entries of one of the forever-on-my-prayer-list the other day, I realize how much I hate the link to whatever my current post is. It was entitled "Collage of Fun." And I was reading someone without any such fun.
And I just need to recognize that somehow. Acknowledge it. I know that we can't live our lives feeling the deep despair of others. No one would want to live a life if we felt all the misery of the world all of the time. I only wish/hope/pray that my feeling despair for them whenever I think of them or say a prayer for them could relieve their suffering in some way.
Another prayer to add to my list, I guess.
*In Real Life.

Fascinating thoughtful post. I am not Catholic, and I have always been intrigued with the whole "point" system it seems to have. I have always wanted to start a prayer journal, just to keep track of everyone I forget to pray for; sometimes I hope that my intention to pray for them, coupled by my weakness to get sidetracked, counts. I just try to hold good thoughts for everyone all the time... constant prayer, active living prayer, sometimes is the best I can do.

I think Catholic kids should not learn about purgatory until they're older. I remember that concept messed me up for awhile, too. But I don't think that's the only way Catholicism has damaged me. Hello, Guilt.

Laguna Hills
Early Inhabitants
Orange County was home to two tribes of native Americans, whose way of life goes back thousands of years. The Tongva (also known as the Gabrillino indians) lived in the flat lands north of Los Alisos Creek and the Acjachmen (also known as the Juaneno due to their proximity to Mission San Juan Capistrano) lived in the coastal and foothills and the mountains south of Los Alison Creek. They harvested acorns, gathered grasses and fruits, hunted on land and fished in the sea. They also wove fine baskets and were part of a flourishing trade network that stretched from the Channel islands to the Colorado River.
Land Grants
Laguna Hills is built on one of the major land grants developed during the Rancho Era. Following Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821, those who had served in the government or who had friends in authority, were given vast lands for cattle grazing. Rancho Lomas de Santiago, Rancho San Joaquin, and Rancho Niguel covered much of the western portion of the Saddleback Valley. In 1842, Don Juan Avila was granted the 13,000 Rancho Niguel on which Laguna Hills is located.
Rancho Niguel
In 1874, Lewis Moulton travelled from Boston to California and worked the land learning the trade of sheep hearding. He began the Moulton Ranch by leasing Rancho Niguel. After purchasing it in 1895, he increased the original grant to 22,000 acres. Moulton and his partner, Jean Pierre Daguerre, used the ranch for dry farming and to raise sheep and cattle. The Moulton Ranch was eventually subdivided in the early 1960's, part of which is recognized as Laguna Hills.
Official a City
Incorporation efforts began in 1987 and on March 5, 1991, the goal of incorporation was finally achieved with 86% of the residents voting in favor of forming the City of Laguna Hills. On December 20, 1991, Laguna Hills officially became a City.
Official a City
On November 14, 1995, the City Council approved annexation of the North Laguna Hills area, which became part of the incorporated City on July 1, 1996.
On September 18, 2000, with the overwhelming support from the 1,800 residents, the "Westside" annexation area officially became part of the incorporated City. The annexation added 149 acres of residential land, which includes the Aliso Viejo Community Association's Sheep Hills Park.

First announced at Mobile World Congress 2010, we've had to wait seven long months for the HTC Desire to land Stateside, and admittedly, we were worried that it would come up short compared with some of the smartphones that have come out since. We were wrong. Sure, it doesn't have some of the latest and greatest features found on other smartphones, like a front-facing camera or an HDMI port, but it offers a solid feature set, top-notch design, and great performance. It's a particularly great and important addition for U.S. Cellular, whose smartphone lineup has been lacking and whose only Android offering up until now has been the Samsung Acclaim. In our book, it's hands down the best smartphone that the carrier has to offer. The HTC Desire will be available from U.S. Cellular starting August 27 for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $70 mail-in rebate.
As a close cousin to the Nexus One, the HTC Desire sports a similar design, and we have no problem with that since we love the N1. The handset measures 4.7 inches tall by 2.4 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick and weighs 4.76 ounces, so it's not too big and not too small. Like a number of HTC's Android devices before it, the Desire has a slight chin at the bottom but it's much more subtle and doesn't get in the way of slipping the phone into a pants pocket. The rounded edges also make it comfortable to hold in the hand. It's a solid-feeling phone all around--not plasticky or cheap.
The Desire features a 3.7-inch, WVGA (800x480) capacitive touch screen that's beautiful and sharp, so whether you're reading text, Web pages, or viewing photos and video, you're getting a great experience. In addition, the display is responsive and has pinch-to-zoom support, a built-in accelerometer, and a proximity sensor. The zooming capabilities are smooth and quick, and there was very little delay when switching screen orientation. We were able to quickly launch apps and scroll through lists with ease as well. HTC's onscreen keyboard is pretty decent, though slightly cramped in portrait mode.
U.S. Cellular packages the HTC Desire with an AC adapter, a USB cable, a wired stereo headset, an 8GB microSD card, and reference material. For more add-ons, please check our cell phone accessories, ringtones, and help page.
User interface
The biggest difference between the Nexus One and the HTC Desire is that the Desire runs HTC Sense instead of the stock Android skin. We like the standard Android experience and, of course, it makes getting updates much easier. However, out of all the custom skins, Sense is easily one of our favorites as it provides features that enhance the phone's capabilities and usability without overcomplicating things or being too obtrusive. For more on the features of HTC Sense, please check out our review of the HTC Legend.
The HTC Desire ships running Android 2.1 but will be upgradeable to Android 2.2. As of this writing, U.S. Cellular didn't have a specific time frame for the update but said it would be later this year, so you'll have to wait a bit for Flash Player 10.1 and some of the other Froyo features. Still, you're getting a very full Android experience and even a few extras from HTC and U.S. Cellular, including Your Navigator Deluxe, My Contacts Backup, and HTC's Twitter client, Peep.
Like other Android phones, the Desire can sync data from multiple e-mail accounts and social networking sites, including Gmail, POP3, IMAP, Exchange, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, and merges info into a unified calendar and contact list. HTC Sense provides a somewhat different interface in the e-mail and People apps. For example, the mail app features a tabbed interface at the bottom that lets you view unread messages, attachments, meeting invites, and more with a simple touch, whereas the standard Android experience provides just a single view of all your messages. Similarly, the People app provides you with a tabbed selection for all contacts, group contacts, online directory, and call log. It's a handy way of easily filtering messages and contacts.

Google has introduced a new feature to Gmail that many people have been waiting for – the ability to access their e-mail offline.{ad}
Offline mode is still in the experimental stages and can be enabled via Gmail Labs. It uses Google Gears to keep a cache of e-mail offline on your system allowing you to do many of the tasks possible online such as reading e-mails, deleting and organizing them, and even sending them. When Gmail gets a connection back it takes all the changes you've made and synchronizes them with the Gmail servers and proceeds to send any e-mails you wrote.
The switch between online and offline mode happens automatically, so if your connection goes down Gmail should continue to work. It also means that if you are on a slow or intermittent connection it shouldn't be noticeable as Gmail will just sort things out in the background.
Apparently Google have been using the offline mode internally for quite a while, so it should be pretty stable. If you are in the US or UK it will be available over the next few days as an option and you can enable it by taking the following steps:
- Click Settings and click the Labs tab.
- Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.
- Click Save Changes.
- After your browser reloads, you'll see a new "Offline" link in the upper right hand corner of your account, next to your username. Click this link to start the offline set up process and download Gears if you don't already have it.
Read more at The Official Gmail Blog
Matthew's Opinion
It hasn't appeared on my Labs list yet, but I will be sure to enable and try it out when it does. Being able to carry on reading, filtering, and sending mail regardless of my connection status is going to be a big help.
This will surely be a welcomed feature by many and should help with productivity for those of you not always near an Internet connection. Google believe there may be a few kinks to work out, but if they have been using it internally for quite some time then they are only going to be minor so I doubt you will lose anything from trying it.
Is this a Gmail feature you have been waiting for?

SANTA CLARA -- The two highest draft picks on the 49ers' practice field got to know each other pretty well Saturday during the team's rookie camp.
Safety Eric Reid, a first-round draft pick, and tight end Vance McDonald, chosen in the second round, matched up repeatedly on the practice field. After Reid broke up one pass, McDonald gained separation but failed to hold onto a couple catchable passes. But McDonald did latch onto a pass on a deep corner route after beating Reid.
During a one-on-one session, Reid made one of the top defensive plays of the day when he closed quickly to bat down a B.J. Daniels' pass intended for McDonald on an underneath route.
McDonald made one catch after Reid slipped. McDonald failed to hold onto a Nate Montana pass after beating Reid by a step on a corner route. And McDonald made a nice catch on a deep route after getting behind Reid by a couple steps.
This is probably a matchup that will take place a lot in the future, as both players figure prominently into the 49ers' plans. Reid is projected to start in the 49ers' defensive backfield to replace Dashon Goldson, who signed a lucrative contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McDonald has an opportunity to get a lot of playing time as Vernon Davis' backup. Delanie Walker, who signed with the Tennessee Titans this offseason, filled that role last season.
In other notes from 49ers practice on Saturday:
--Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, decked out in Golden State Warriors gear from head to toe, watched 90 minutes of practice from the sideline. He stood next to Anthony Davis, whose brother is taking part in a tryout this weekend.
--Andre Davis, Anthony's brother, played defensive line at Kentucky Christian. The 295-pounder is taking part in the practices on the offensive line, but looked surprisingly nimble as he ran some routes at tight end.
--Daniels, who is sharing the quarterback snaps with Montana, also worked at running back in warmup drills.
--Fatigue appeared to set in for the receivers during the afternoon practice, as McDonald, Quinton Patton, Brandon Carswell, Alex Debniak, MarQueis Gray each dropped passes. Invariably, those who dropped passes also had nice catches during the two-hour practice.
--North Texas tight end Andrew Power made the best catch of the day when his feet tangled with safety Shawn Plummer and he still managed to catch a dart from Daniels as he went sprawling to the ground.
--Cornerback Lowell Rose and Marcus Cooper made fine defensive plays to break up passes on back-to-back plays during a 7-on-7 drill. Darryl Morris also had a pass breakup later against wide receiver Greg Wilson.
--Linebacker Nathan Stupar intercepted a Montana pass that slipped through the hands of running back Damon Harper.
--Defensive lineman Lawrence Okoye again got a lot of one-on-one attention from defensive line coach Jim Tomsula. Okoye looks natural and reflexive at the right defensive end position at the snap of the ball.
Here's how the first group lined up during 11-on-11 drills:
WR Chuck Jacobs
LT Carter Bykowski
LG Wayne Tribue
C Al Netter
RG Patrick Omameh
RT Kenny Wiggins
TE Vance McDonald
WR Quinton Patton
FB Alex Debniak
RB Damon Harper
QB B.J. Daniels
LDE Dan Farr
NT Michael Purcell
RDE Lawrence Okoye
LOLB Corey Lemonier
LILB Nick Moody
RILB Nathan Stupar
ROLB David Tuitupuo
LCB Marcus Cooper
RCB Lowell Rose
S Eric Reid
S Shawn Plummer
--The three-day camp concludes Sunday. The session is closed to the media.

A quick post just to highlight a difference between Project Server 2013 on-premise and Project Online regarding being able to deselect "User can be assigned as a resource" from the Edit User page.
For Project Online this option is disabled as you can see below:
For Project Server 2013 (on-premise) this option is enabled:
For Project Server 2013 on premise where you can deselect this check box it is recommended that you don't use this option as un-checking it can potentially cause issues in some scenarios hence this option being disabled in Project Online. I imagine that there will be a change for Project Server 2013 on-prem soon that will bring this inline with Project Online.

This script will enable users to display the project cost and work on a column chart. The projects displayed are filtered by the selected Enterprise Project Type (EPT). The script can be downloaded from the script gallery below:
To get the script to work you will need to download the following jQuery library: jquery-2.1.1.min.js – jQuery download Another version of this library may work but this was the one I used / tested with. Upload this library to your PWA site collection then update the script file with the correct location. I uploaded this file to the site collection document library as you can see in the code below:
The script also makes use of a charting library called Highcharts. Highcharts is available from a company called Highsoft. Highcharts is only free for non-commercial use, see the link below for details:
If you do use this library in scripts or applications that you sell / anything commercial you will need to purchase the correct licence to do so.
Other charting libraries can be used, just update the code based on the requirements of your chosen charting library.
This script also uses the ProjectData Odata API so users will need access to this API for the report to work.
Once the script is downloaded, upload this to the PWA site collection, in this example it was uploaded to the shared documents library. Choose where you want the script to be accessed, in this example I created a new page, added a content editor web part on the new page then referenced the uploaded script using the content editor web part:
Once loaded, the page will look like this:
The selection menu will contain the Enterprise Project Types (EPT), selecting an EPT will then update the two charts with those projects and display the cost and work.
A quick video can be seen here: http://screencast.com/t/pRbxh1kq
This only uses intrinsic fields so should work for any Project Online environment but do test it thoroughly first. You might want to improve the error handling, data filtering etc. before deploying to a production environment. Also remember this does require the user to have access to the ProjectData API for this to work.
The script is provided "As is" with no warranties etc.

@Bnb I don't get what you're trying to achieve. If you want to do something fancy you just have to know some basics in html/css.
If you want the code to look "cleaner" you can create a snippet, as explained in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hOikTfYD_s
You should not include the snippet inside the product description, this is only for richtext or html. The snippet should go under {{ product.description }} in a template named, eg. "product-template.liquid" or "product.liquid".
If you do that correctly and you don't see the changes on your product page then maybe you have alternate templates. PM if you need extra help.
Hi @telboy,
If you want to add more text under the description, for all your product descriptions, then you should go into the section file "product-template.liquid". As its name suggest, it's a template so the code you write under {{ product.description }} will appear at the bottom of all your descriptions.
Hope that helps.
If you're looking for {{product discription}}, you will never find it. You should exactly be looking for {{ product.description }} on a non-changed Venture theme. Search it with the search console (ctrl + F). I can't help you anymore than that :
Then add your code under {{ product.description }}

Beach morphology and sediments of the Canterbury Bight.
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/3975
Thesis DisciplineGeography
Degree GrantorUniversity of Canterbury
Degree LevelMasters
Degree NameMaster of Arts
The 84 miles of mixed sand and shingle beach between Banks Peninsula and Dashing Rocks, Timaru, is a high energy shoreline exposed to vigorous wave action emanating from the south Pacific Ocean. Much of the coastline is actively retrograding. However, short term and seasonal variations in beach profiles are small. This is unusual in relation to previous studies of shingle beaches. Analysis of wave processes and of beach slopes and materials indicates that beach morphology is in short term erosional equilibrium with the prevailing south-easterly swell and with southerly storm waves. Long term changes in beach profiles indicate that, over much of the Canterbury Bight, the narrow profile envelopes are retreating landward. There is an excess of wave energy over the supply of materials and so the profiles are becoming wider and flatter. This condition is termed sub-equilibrium. In plan a similar situation is distinguished, the beach being most stable in the north. Over the last century erosion has been most vigorous in the central section and slower in the south near Timaru. Thus, near equilibrium conditions exist in the north. By comparison with the theoretical stable shape the shoreline curve is too flat in the central area where present erosion is most vigorous. These results are not consistent with a high order of net longshore transport to the north under present conditions. Previous works have suggested that this has occurred in the past but the maximum appears to have been reached and passed. Sediment appears to be moved offshore rather than transported along it in large amounts of angular sand to the littoral zone but, surprisingly, there is little indication of a significant supply of pebbles and larger sizes under present conditions. Because of the intensity of coastal erosion the beach deposit reflects the alluvial origins of much of the material. The deposit is texturally sub-rnature. A medium and coarse sand fraction and a pebble fraction are combined by surf action to produce characteristic size-sorting relationships. Erosion of the coast allows little time for the production of changes in grain shape and roundness, so that there are only small differences in these properties between samples taken from the beach and from the coastal cliffs and the present river channels. The shapes of beach pebbles reflect the breakdown of the parent greywackes and sorting for shape and roundness are poorly developed on the beach. There is little abrasion of sand indicated. A case study of the mixed sand-shingle beach is made using accepted principles of beach study drawn from the literature on both sand and shingle beaches. The study beach has many of the morphological features of the shingle beach but few of the sand beach. This is partly due to the larger grain size of the beach and to the prevailing plunging surf. The sand-shingle profile is almost entirely swash dominated since there is little tidal translation of the breakpoint of the waves. Characteristic sorting processes include the movement of sands in different directions under differing wave conditions. Sand is moved onshore under storm conditions and is winnowed from the gravels and moved alongshore under swell conditions. Pebbles appear to undergo a net offshore motion during storms but are more stable during swell conditions when they characteristically adopt pronounced imbrications. Cobbles are moved to the higher berms by swash since backwash does not usually have the power to move them owing to loss of head by percolation into the beach. These processes result in size-frequency distributions which are characteristically positively skewed-1eptokurtic; reflecting a dominance of coarse bed-load material with a significant proportion of infiltrated fines. Analysis of offshore bottom transport potentials confirms the observed mobility of sands and demonstrates that pebbles moved seaward of the breaker zone are unlikely to be returned to the foreshore. It also indicates that there may be small net movements of fine sands into the area from south of Timaru, and out of the area toward Banks Peninsula in the north.

Nieu-Bethesda, South Africa © Morné van Rooyen
Tourists looking to take an adventure to a legitimately weird and wonderful South African town should head to the interior of the Eastern Cape and check out Nieu-Bethesda. Located about 32 miles (50km) from Graaff Reinet in the Karoo Heartland, Nieu-Bethesda is a tiny, sleepy place that seems to exist in blissful ignorance of modern life. Devoid of banks, paved roads, and even streetlights, Nieu-Bethesda nonetheless still boasts several excellent and one-of-a-kind tourist attractions. The pick of these is the Owl House: a bizarre and unsettling sculpture garden created by reclusive artist Helen Martins. She was a frustrated visionary who suffered under the apartheid system and who took her own life in 1976. The Owl House is cluttered with cement and wire sculptures of a religious nature, painstakingly decorated with crushed glass, and gives a fascinating insight into a tortured and singular artistic personality. Other sights in Nieu-Bethesda include a great archaeological museum and tour, where visitors are shown fossils that date back 160 million years. Present too is the Kompasberg, the Eastern Cape's highest peak and a wonderful place to hike on agathosma-scented slopes.
Finally, all visitors to Nieu-Bethesda are strongly encouraged to have lunch at the Two Goats Deli, a family-run establishment that specialises in home-made goat's cheese and home-brewed beer.

We're back (really, really back!) with Byte-Size Blair, our weekly wrap-up of all things social media. If you're not already following us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or Pinterest, give us a look.
When our social media manager got back from vacation, she was overwhelmed by everything our authors and our distributed lines had been up to while she was away. Below are our five favorite attempts at catching up.
1. In a miniature version of Byte-Size (Bit-Size?), we posted about Jeremy B. Jones' cross-country book tour, new reviews for So You Think You Know Gettysburg? Volume 2, and an Eno Publishers author's appearance in the pages of the Paris Review. Read all about it on Tumblr.
2. Also on Tumblr, Ted M. Dunagan and The Salvation of Miss Lucretia were reviewed in Southern Literary Review. Did you know Dunagan has won three Georgia Author of the Year awards?
3. Just a friendly reminder that Blair, our beloved boss Carolyn, and Jeremy B. Jones will all be making appearances at the Bookmarks Festival in September.
4. We happened to stumble across this great photo of Old New Orleans, a photo that's featured in one of the spooky stories in Randy Russell's upcoming collection, The Ghost Will See You Now.
5. Sailing to Alluvium and its author John Pritchard got some love in a recent review for Chapter 16.
And speaking of summer vacations, Blair pet Carmen looks like she's enjoying hers.

When my husband, David, was installed as the 28th Lieutenant-Governor in 2007, he pledged to expand on the aboriginal youth literacy initiatives of his predecessor, the Hon. James Bartleman. Unfortunately, the communities where these initiatives are most needed are in some of the most remote regions in northern Ontario and quite inaccessible to somebody like David, who relies on a scooter to get around.
The aboriginal initiatives could have continued under long-distance management, but David knew it was vital for their success that there be a personal connection between him, as The Queen's representative, and the young people whose lives would be most affected. So I volunteered to journey north on his behalf and, over the seven years of his term in office, visited 23 summer literacy camps and 13 First Nation communities.
I visited Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) on National Aboriginal Day in 2013, when I was accompanied by Sharon Johnston, wife of the Governor-General. When I returned to KI on Sept. 18, my companions for a two day visit were Sophie Rhys-Jones, the Countess of Wessex, Premier Kathleen Wynne, Lieutenant- Governor-designate Elizabeth Dowdeswell, a delegation of women leaders from the corporate, academic and philanthropic sectors, and Andrée Cazabon, the talented young woman whose 2010 documentary 3rd World Canada shone a light on the lives of young people in KI.
You may wonder what we hoped to accomplish by taking such a group to KI? Nurturing the relationship between the Crown and First Nations of Ontario is an ongoing concern for the Lieutenant-Governor's office and a visit from a member of the Royal Family had huge significance, for the community and for future relations. The presence of the Countess of Wessex, demonstrated to the community that they matter. And the fact that this lovely young woman, daughter-in-law of "the Great White Mother," engaged on an individual level with everybody she met and wanted to hear their stories, deepened the significance of her visit.
A word that came up many times, before, during and after our stay in KI, was Reconciliation. In the context of our visit, rather than a transaction or a process, reconciliation meant dissolving a relationship that no longer works and building a new one, by watching, listening and bearing witness.
Spending time with the women elders of KI helped us to see the community through their eyes. We learned more about major continuing problems like unemployment, sub-standard housing and substance abuse. But we also heard of the challenges faced by the people of KI at the personal level. For example, a lack of adequate birthing facilities means pregnant women must leave their families three weeks before their due date and await the birth of their babies alone in Thunder Bay. And, because the KI school only goes to Grade 10, bright, inquisitive kids who want to go further must leave the reserve to finish their education.
I am still processing the emotional aftermath of our visit to KI – as I suspect every member of our delegation is also doing – but certain visuals stand out in my memory, foremost among them the Countess standing with a group of women elders, who had come to the airport to say goodbye and spontaneously began to sing God Save The Queen, bringing her to the point of tears.
On my visits to the summer literacy camps over the past seven years, I have seen the tangible results of the Lieutenant-Governor's aboriginal initiatives, in the way that the children engage with their counselors and are open to the pleasures of reading. But on many occasions, after visiting individual First Nations communities and witnessing the challenges they face, I have asked myself the question, "Have we changed anything?"
On this occasion, I believe we have sown the seeds of a collaborative effort between the KI community and some powerful women leaders who can make change happen outside of the political process.
Our delegation – and especially the presence of the Countess of Wessex – demonstrated to the leadership, youth and community of KI that people in the world beyond the reserve care about them and their future. By honouring their history and culture and, perhaps more importantly, by transmitting back to our own communities what we witnessed, our visit has begun a process we can build on, if we have the collective courage to do so.

Machines & systems for laser processing
2D laser cutting machines
Experience a milestone on the path towards an autonomous machine at INTECH: With Active Speed Control, you increase process reliability and simultaneously reduce scrap parts in 2D laser cutting with your TruLaser machine. The new machine function analyzes and regulates the cut by looking through the nozzle in real time. In critical situations, the operator receives information on his mobile device from any location. As a result, the process requires far less manual monitoring. At the trade show, we will be showing the new adaptive feed control live on the TruLaser 5030 fiber.
Low investment and operating costs as well as a very simple operating and maintenance concept – this is how the TruLaser 1030 fiber delivers for you. You can significantly reduce non-productive time thanks to the one-cutting-head strategy with collision protection. With the TruDisk laser and cutting data for all sheet thicknesses, it ensures reliable laser cutting, even with highly reflective materials such as copper. In addition, the control panel with touch operation intuitively guides the operator through all machine functions.
The 2D laser cutting machine will appeal with its high flexibility and cuts all sheet thicknesses economically. With the TruDisk solid-state laser with up to 8 kW, you can also process non-ferrous metals and benefit from a productivity advantage in thin and thick sheet. BrightLine fiber ensures the highest edge quality and facilitates part removal. The Highspeed Eco cutting process doubles throughput while simultaneously reducing cutting gas consumption by up to 60 %.
High processing speed and reproducible part quality, even with complex contours – these are just two of the advantages of the TruLaser 5030 fiber 2D laser cutting machine. It achieves excellent feed rates thanks to solid-state lasers with up to 10 kW power and optimized machine dynamics. Experience the laser machine at INTECH with the new Active Speed Control function, which reduces rejects and increases process reliability at the same time.
Make short work of your laser production: The fully automatic TruLaser Center 7030 independently manages your entire laser machining process. This reduces your throughput time drastically – and you get the most from your entire process. Live at INTECH: Connect the TruLaser Center 7030 to your store and benefit from higher machine utilization rate thanks to optimized material flow and shorter material access times.
3D laser cutting machines
The strongest green laser in the world? Experience this year at the INTECH! The green wavelength could have been tailor made for applications in electromobility, because many copper components such as battery foils or electronic components can be welded reproducibly and almost without spatter. You can also rely on the highest quality and productivity thanks to our proven disk laser technology.
At this year's INTECH, we will demonstrate how a brake disk can be coated faster than ever before with TRUMPF lasers: "Extreme High Speed Laser Metal Deposition" (EHLA) significantly accelerates laser metal deposition with rotationally symmetrical components. TRUMPF has already been able to transfer the process developed and patented by the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology into series production.
This laser system concentrates on the essentials and makes your entry into the world of 3D laser cutting as cost-effective as possible: the TruLaser Cell 5030 is distinguished from others as a result of its low machine-hour rate, and is thus ideally suited for small to medium lot sizes. Thanks to the small footprint, you can very easily integrate the machine into your existing production line. Running in of components is also easier and quicker as a result of its many helpful functions.
Do you want to weld through sheet metal and tubes almost spatter-free by laser and not just by welding in? You can do this now with our BrightLine Weld option. A further advantage is that you increase productivity and reduce your power input at the same time. At the INTECH, we will show you live how the laser system welds through a tube and section.
At the INTECH, you can look forward to our new machine for productive and ergonomic laser welding and laser cutting of 3D components! Come to Ditzingen and see for yourself how effective our flexible virtuoso for constantly changing customer requirements and applications is.
Laser welding systems
Turnkey system for automated laser welding: With the TruLaser Weld 5000, you can flexibly make deep and strong or smooth, optically appealing seams in the standard and large format versions. The versatile system can be precisely adapted to your requirements with different workpiece positioners. With TruTops Weld, you simply create your welding program virtually on your computer while your machine is producing. The TeachLine sensor system ensures that everything fits perfectly in the real world. Measurement for position correction with this new optical sensor system is much simpler, more stable and independent in direction. A special added benefit: With the improved welding process visualization you can check the seam even during the welding process.
Laser tube cutting machines
Cut even XXL tubes at maximum productivity with the new TruLaser Tube 7000 fiber. The open machine design makes your TruLaser Tube 7000 fiber optimally accessible. Even individual XXL tubes can be loaded more quickly and efficiently than ever before. At the same time, you can integrate subsequent processes such as threading, and use the Central Link interface to gear yourself up for Industry 4.0 optimally. The new spatter protection device protects the inside of your tubes from dirt and thus saves reworking.

Here's something interesting. Early in the week we heard Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying a no-fly zone over Libya was being actively considered. Her comments were followed by CNO Adm. Gary Roughead said the Navy is ready to help enforce a no-fly zone should the order be given. Then yesterday, numerous reports came out saying the White House is trying to downplay the potential of a military intervention in Libya. Defense Secretary Robert Gates even warned against "loose talk" on the matter.
While he urged caution, Gates said all options are still on the table. Now, Janes is reporting that a NATO team might be in Libya investigating the feasibility of setting up a no-fly zone:
A NATO team mostly comprising US personnel has been deployed to eastern Libya to determine whether a no-fly zone could be imposed in response to the crackdown by Colonel Moammar Ghadaffi against reform-minded protestors, Jane's understands from international sources.The Pentagon, however, denies that any U.S. forces are on the ground and a Libyan opposition source says he's seen no western troops, according to the article.
Experts in airlift and command-and-control operations based at NATO headquarters in Brussels were dispatched on 27 February, to search for possible radar sites to aid the enforcement of any possible no-fly zone over Libyan airspace and to liaise with officers from Libyan military units that have abandoned the 41-year-old regime, the source told Jane's on 28 February.
One Libyan opposition supporter told Jane's on 28 February that he had yet to see any Western military officials in Benghazi: the eastern city that has become the epicentre of the rebellion.There could very well be a team or teams of special ops folks on the ground doing everything from quietly training the opposition to collecting all sorts of intel. If so, I promise you they're keeping extremely low profiles, for now.
Pentagon spokesman David Lapan told Jane's on 1 March that "no US forces had deployed to Libya".

Here's How Game Of Thrones Pulled Off Its Massive Dragon Attack
Game of Thrones set the record for setting people on fire during Sunday night's explosive episode, "The Spoils of War." This is not hyperbole. According to co-showrunner David Benioff, the fourth episode of the seventh season set more stuntmen on fire than have ever been simultaneously set on fire. How many, you ask? A whopping 20 stuntmen got lit from head to toe.
Of course all that record-setting led to one of the most epic attacks the HBO drama has ever staged, in which Daenerys, riding dragonback on Drogon, and her Dothraki army attacked the Lannister forces as they were heading back to King's Landing from their recent victory at Highgarden. It took Dany and Drogon mere minutes to set the battlefield—and all those soldiers and bannermen—viciously ablaze.
The attack, officially dubbed the "loot train attack" by the crew, was a difficult challenge for the creative team behind Game of Thrones. It involved multiple departments (and drones!), from the stunt coordinators, who asked men to not only be OK with being set on fire but also to stand up on horses and shoot arrows, to the VFX team, who made it all look even more epic in post-production. It was the largest dragon attack the show has ever attempted. For example, there were over 80 shots of actress Emilia Clarke riding Drogon.
In a lengthy behind-the-scenes video released by HBO, the show's creators and creative team talk about the dragon attack's intricacies, its Mad Max inspiration, and (successfully) setting all those men on fire.

Particle size reduction can present challenges to processors in industries such as rubber, plastics, food, pharmaceuticals, and others, particularly when working with heat-sensitive and tough-to-mill materials.
As a recognised leader in cryogenic grinding, Air Products has created a microsite aimed at helping processors overcome these challenges and optimise their overall operation. For more than 40 years, Air Products engineers have helped processors identify the best solution for a variety applications, including nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, pigments, plastics, powder, spices, and thermoplastic elastomers and waxes.
The new cryogenic grinding microsite provides technical information about Air Products' PolarFit® Cryogenic Size Reduction Solutions—which use liquid nitrogen to cool down feed material prior to and/or during milling—and includes illustrations that show the size reduction system configurations offered by the company.
The microsite also contains some short videos that explain how exposing material to liquid nitrogen can help prevent melting or decomposition, or achieve embrittlement, resulting in a higher yield of particles in the desired target range, more uniform particle size distribution, higher production rates, improved product quality, and enhanced process safety due to the nitrogen inertness.
The range of offerings available from Air Products includes turnkey cryogenic grinding systems, as well as individual components to retrofit an existing process; liquid nitrogen supply, which is available in a variety of delivery options to economically meet small- to large-volume requirements; and value-added services, such as technical assessments/improvements of existing milling systems and optimisation of liquid nitrogen use.
Air Products also has trial facilities located in the US, Europe, and Asia, where customers can test their products to determine the potential benefits of using cryogenics in their grinding processes.

Scientists hear mixed messages on political support for biomedical research and the NIH
The White House's budget rollout last week sent shockwaves through the scientific community broadly and National Institutes of Health supporters specifically. President Donald Trump, in his "skinny budget" release, called for a $5.8 billion cut to the NIH's budget, 19 percent of fiscal year 2016 appropriations for the agency. The cut came as a surprise because the agency historically has enjoyed bipartisan support.
The president's budget director, Mick Mulvaney, made Trump's intentions clear at a press conference last week. "This is a hard power budget," Mulvaney said. To the president, "hard power" clearly means increases in defense spending. In fact, the president's budget proposal increases defense spending by $54 billion by reducing nondefense discretionary spending.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and Mulvaney, both of whom tried to explain Trump's budget, have been questioned on more than one occasion about the president's support for the NIH.
Spicer's responses to those inquiries have been, to date, confusing.
When asked how Trump can claim to support research, while knowing that the private sector will not supplement funding gaps, and still propose cutting funding, Spicer responded:
"There's this assumption in Washington, Jonathan, that if you get less money it's a cut. And I think that the reality is that in a lot of these there's efficiencies, duplicity, ways to spend money better. And I think if you're wasting a lot of money, that's not a true dollar spent. And I think when you look at the way that Director Mulvaney and the president approached this budget, it was can we ask — can we get more with the same dollar, can we find duplicity, can we find efficiencies, can we combine facilities in some cases at NIH to enhance a better experience whereby we actually have an outcome that's reduced savings."
When Mulvaney was asked about the message the president was sending by eliminating so much science spending, he responded:
"On science, we're going to function — we're going to focus on the core function. There's reductions, for example, I think, in the NIH — the National Institutes of Health. Why? Because we think there's been mission creep, we think they do things that are outside their core functions. We think there's tremendous opportunity for savings. We recommend, for example, that a couple of facilities be combined; there would be cost savings from that."
Spicer this week was asked again about NIH cuts, and he had this to say:
"Look, we've discussed the NIH in particular. I think that there's this assumption in Washington that if you don't spend more on a subject that you're not caring as much. When you look at some of the agencies and departments and programs that we've seen, in many cases they're not meeting their mission. And I think there are cost-savings that can be achieved so that you can focus the dollars that are being allocated towards a more effective use of the mission at hand."
While the White House has sent mixed messages while trying to explain how the loss of $5.8 billion shouldn't be seen as a lack of support from the president, the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue did not mince mix words. Congress' rebuttal of the president's budget request – specifically the cut to the NIH – has been bipartisan and clear.
- Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., told Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace: "I will say that NIH is something that's particularly popular in Congress. We just passed the Cures Act just this last December to increase spending in the NIH, we really think we're kind of getting close to some breakthrough discoveries on cancer and other diseases. So, that is something that I think and Congress you'll see probably some changes."
- House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., told constituents on a conference call, in response to Mulvaney's "mission creep" statement: "That's ridiculous. I think that Mulvaney, quite honestly — and he's not one of my favorite people, I never worked with him when he was in Congress — he has no idea of the facts" regarding NIH.
- S. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee that funds the NIH told MSNBC: "I don't favor cutting NIH or the Centers for Disease Control (and Prevention). You're much more likely to die in a pandemic than a terrorist attack, and so that's part of the defense of the country as well."
- S. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., who chairs the Senate's appropriations committee funding NIH told reporters: "There are many concerns with nondefense discretionary cuts."
- S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., told ABC News: "I am hopeful that Congress rejects this budget and works in a bipartisan fashion to restore the funding levels for the NIH as we have done in the past.
Over the next few weeks, Congress has to complete the fiscal 2017 budget process and will begin the FY18 appropriations process. These events will cut through the soundbites and provide the community with a clear sense of whether Washington's support for biomedical research continues.
Note: If you're wondering why we have made no statements regarding National Science Foundation funding, it's because the president's budget blueprint offered no insights into funding strategies for NSF in the next fiscal year. We expect those details to be released later this spring with the full details of the president's budget. We expect cuts.

Dental implantology has made huge strides in just the past 20 years - but the concept is anything but new.
The idea of a tooth replacement anchored permanently into the jaw has been around since antiquity. Archeologists know the ancient Egyptians tried to implant precious stones into the jawbone where teeth were lost. Half a world away, Mayan ruins in Mexico turned up jawbones with tooth implants carved from seashells.
Tooth loss is one of humankind's most common afflictions - and permanent replacement one of dentistry's fondest dreams. If you have a missing tooth or teeth, you probably understand why.
Fast-forward now from the Third Dynasty to today's dental research labs. Three major research advances - all in the past 15 years - combined to make dental implants practical and workable in a wide range of patients.
Tooth implants substitute the rooting of 32 individual teeth with a few metal anchor posts onto which snaps either an overdenture or a fixed bridge. Investigators found that posts made of the metal titanium were strong, non-toxic over years in the mouth, and biologically compatible.
The next critical discovery was the concept of "osseointegration" - in which the healing jawbone actually grows into the dental implant post. This union is capable of sealing harmful bacteria out of the bone tissue.
Credit the computer revolution with the final critical breakthrough: Computerized Tomography (CT) can be used to develop a model of the jawbone's surface. This eliminates the need for preliminary surgery required to make impressions of the jawbone. For certain patients CT imaging can make tooth implant surgery a one-step procedure.
Teeth implants aren't for everybody. But research technicians have expanded its potential beyond the dreams of - well, certainly Ramses II.
Whether it's due to accident or decay, tooth loss can be a pretty traumatic event. But it's not irreplaceable. If you lose a tooth, you might be surprised at the options modern dentistry can offer to replace that missing tooth.
If it's a sudden, accidental injury and you lose the entire tooth, roots and all, it may even be possible to replace the tooth in its socket. But time is of the essence, the tooth replacement must occur within an hour of the accident.
A more realistic alternative is a tooth implant. Teeth implants are the next best thing to having natural teeth restored to your mouth. That's because, instead of being a removable device inside the mouth, like dentures, implants are permanently anchored into the jaw itself.
The key to a successful dental implant procedure is called osseointegration, or the meshing together of implant and bone. Good candidates for dental implants need jawbone ridges that are in good shape and healthy oral tissues. Then, when the implant device is inserted, a chemical and mechanical bond is formed. The jawbone actually grows into the dental implant.
The thing to remember is... if you lose a tooth, it's not the end of the world. Tooth implants are only one of your options. Regardless of the cause of your tooth loss, there's something you can do to recreate a healthy, natural-looking smile. Contact your dentist today to get more tooth implant information.

We have already learned how to say It's too expensive in Chinese language. Just in case you forgot, here it is again:
太贵了 (tài guì le): too expensive
贵 (guì ) means expensive, but what does 太 (tài) mean?
太 (tài): excessively; too; extremely
太 + adjective 了 structure can be used to express different kinds of emotional intensity (surprise, disgust, praise, excitement etc). Here are few more examples:
Nǐ tài bàng le!
You are so great!
Rén tài duō le!
There are too many people!
Nǐ tài hútú le!
You are so confused!
And if someone asks you How are you?, you can always respond:
太好了!(Tài hǎo le!): Great!

The Devil Within Her
Donald Pleasance delivers Joan Collins' newborn 6-month old baby that has a fondness for scratching, biting, and screeching like a wildebeest because it's possessed by the still-living spirit of a dwarf that works at a striptease joint, I guess, and I suddenly realize nothing about the description for this movie is OK. Seriously, nothing good could possibly come from stringing together those particular words, and I'm surprised no one involved in this film could see that. It's Donald Pleasance, for crying out loud, delivering Joan Collins' baby, for goodness sake, and no one seems to be concerned about that, and she apparently became pregnant because she did a not-so-very erotic dance while dressed as a gypsy and banging a tambourine at a voyeuristic dwarf on the make. How could something like that that turn out alright? Well, it doesn't, even when Caroline Munro shows up in polka-dot culottes and everyone drinks a lot of scotch. And it certainly doesn't turn out alright when Joan Collins awkwardly lugs around an oversized swaddled plastic infant that doesn't appear to be an actual infant, and the camera cuts back to the real-life newborn toddler whose expressions are supposed to be creepy and terrifying but whose expressions actually make it appear to be a little bored and gassy. And it certainly isn't OK when everyone seems petrified by this bored and gassy infant and looks into the crib and screams, because it isn't at all the way people in real life actually scream at infants. I mean, you just can't scream at an infant all willy-nilly and hysterical, because they'll never learn that way and probably will never be able to get a decent job. You could probably do that with a cat, but probably not a human infant. Your scream should be in a lower register, and should include some constructive criticism, you know, something they can work with, like, "Hey infant, get a job!" or "Hey infant, maybe you should get your life together and stop sponging off me!" For all I know, those actors were probably screaming at the infant in the crib as the infant was operating the camera, so the infant probably already has a job. Heck, I don't really know anything about cats or infants, so I'm probably not the one to ask.
Don't get me wrong, there are some moments of terror in The Devil Within Her, like the awkward Joan Collins sex scene, anytime the scary nun is on screen, or anytime the scary blind lady from Don't Look Now is on screen, but I don't think the film-makers intended for those things to be scary.
Sorry, but I'm not able to embed any of the trailers for this film, and I tried all of the different names this movie has been known by. Here's a link:
Something Creeping In The Dark
People are trapped in an old dark house on a dark and stormy night amidst blue eyeshadow, turtlenecks, and slow-motion dream sequences while ominous piano chords are played in this slow-moving horror film. Sure, there's a seance, and thunder and lightning, and low-plunging necklines; but you have to suffer through many shots of people walking down corridors, or opening doors, or pensively looking off into the distance. It's boring. Ok, so sometimes people are stabbed and bludgeoned, doors occasionally open by themselves, curtains blow about in a spooky fashion, and footsteps are heard in the hallway; but honestly, if something was creeping in the dark I think I missed it.

Yokai Monsters Spook Warfare
I'd forgotten that I left the DVDs for Executive Koala and Calamari Wrestler in my Amazon shopping cart. I know! How could I let a thing like that happen?
Honestly, I'm not sure.
So now I'm sitting by the mailbox in the lobby of Deathrage Towers waiting for the DVDs to arrive. I have no idea how things end up in my mailbox, so it'll be interesting to see how this scenario plays out. Does someone actually put the package in the mailbox, or does it just appear there magically? Beats the heck out of me. I'm assuming it's witchcraft. Anyway, I'm going to go out on a limb and and attribute this supernatural event to a magical imp. It's the only reasonable explanation.
Speaking of magical imps, I watched Yokai Monsters Spook Warfare. This title appeared at the bottom of my Amazon shopping cart, and it was magically suggested by some wacky person at Amazon who likes both Executive Koala and Calamari Wrestler. I can only assume the person at Amazon who likes all three of these movies is an oversized sport-loving crustacean, a murderous marsupial, or a magical Japanese imp. It's the only reasonable explanation.
Anyway, back to the movie. Someone digs up a sword, then a storm full of monsters appears. During this supernatural storm, a samurai battles a blood-sucking monster who has a magical, dragon-headed weapon that shoots fire out of its mouth. Strange monsters and ghosts materialize amidst the reeds. Candles are lit, knives are drawn, incantations are chanted, and fires blaze. It's pretty bad-ass. Did I mention this is a film for children? I can only assume Japanese children of 1968 were a lot tougher than wussy American children of now.
I was awfully bothered by the comic relief provided by a water imp that appears in the movie because it seemed sort of Jar Jar Binks-esque, but I got over it fairly quickly. I think I enjoyed Yokai Monsters Spook Warfare. If I were you, I would probably not show this film to small children. It is fairly dark and filled with nightmare fodder like blood-drinking, sword-fighting, ghosts, and monsters with unusually large heads.
The Hairdresser
An unemployed hairdresser with a penchant for wearing fruit-shaped earrings is discriminated against because of her weight in this German comedy. I had a very relaxing and serene couple of hours at the botanical gardens today. I don't really enjoy the outdoors, but it's nice to visit it occasionally; just as long as I can go back home, sit on the couch, eat pizza, and not visit the outdoors for a long, long time. I don't have much of a green thumb, but it's nice to see the finished product when someone actually has one and puts a little time and effort into trying to get plants to grow.
Here's a snapshot I took of some sort of plant. I think it's called a 'flower'.
Like I said, I don't like the outdoors, and I'm not very good with plants. The only plant still alive in Deathrage Towers is a small aloe. I've had it several years, and it hasn't changed in any way. It's still the same size and shape as it was when I first acquired it. I believe it sits on a shelf in a meeting room on either the 22nd or 23rd floor. It's very nice. The aloe, that is, not the shelf. Or the meeting room. I don't like the meeting room, and I don't go in it very often. It's dreary. Hey, you know what would liven that meeting room up? Some nice plants.
Now that I've had a second to think about it, I wonder if that aloe is alive? I don't water it, and I'm not sure anyone else does, either. I wonder if I have a department that handles that sort of thing?
Upon further reflection, I'm almost certain that actual living plants need to be A) in sunlight, B) watered sometimes, and C) fed occasionally. I've done none of those things.
That settles it. Sometime within the next few weeks I will hold a meeting to A) create a department that creates a department within the company whose sole function is to care for any plants on the premises, B) allocate resources to the care and management of said plants, and C) determine if that aloe is a real living plant or a phony one made out of plastic. I will have Executive Assistant write up a memo, and post it near the aloe. We'll get to the bottom of that.
So, what we're we talking about?
Oh yeah. So I watched The Hairdresser on Netflix, and unfortunately, it was in German with no subtitles. I enjoyed it, I think, but I'm not really sure what happened. The movie wrapped up a lot of stuff in the last few minutes, and then seemingly ended. I assume it was a comedy.
Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra
Bad sci-fi films of the 1950s are spoofed in this low-budget, intentionally bad film. A scientist, an evil rival scientist, and a couple of extraterrestrials attempt to locate a meteorite capable of reviving a skeleton, I think, but I'm not totally sure. Shot in a shaky, naive style in black and white; it features wooden, melodramatic acting and some not-so-special special effects (I can see the strings!). The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra is pretty bad, but in a good way. There's stock animal footage, miniatures, and takes that go on just a little too long. There's a 'transmutatron' fashioned from a caulking gun, lots of awkward dancing, and a 3-eyed monster made out of fingerless gloves and plastic plants from a craft store. The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra is recommended if you like stuff that sucks.

Marianne Faithfull: Dreaming My Dreams
The life and career of the legendary singer/songwriter/actor is profiled in this documentary. Gritty and candid, Dreaming My Dreams features interviews, concert clips, and archival footage. Faithfull's chart topping hits, romantic entanglements with various rock stars, drug use, career decline, homelessness, suicide attempts, and her ultimate comeback are documented. I wouldn't exactly call Dreaming My Dreams well-shot, but Faithfull is fascinating whenever she's on screen.

Identity Thief
A man's identity is stolen in this broad, implausible comedy. Melissa McCarthy does a fine job making a repugnant career criminal sympathetic; even as she throat-punches people, picks up random cowboy for rough motel sex, and gets hit by a car on the highway. Filled with plot-holes which are conveniently wrapped up with a tossed-off line of dialogue (hey, at least they were wrapped up), the film has a loose, thrown-together, ad-libbed feel throughout, thankfully. These small tidbits of comedy seemingly invented by the cast bails out an otherwise drab, formulaic, mainstream blockbuster film. I laughed several times, but I shouldn't have.
Oh yeah, just in case you think that there might be a downbeat ending; everyone learns a valuable lesson and comes to understand one another in the end. Yeah, like that's a thing that could happen. Meh.
Eccentrics and astronauts obsessed with the Moon are profiled in this well-shot documentary. Attempting to fly to the Moon, paint works of art about the Moon, or selling plots of land on the Moon; these people dedicate their lives to the Moon in one way or another with varying degrees of success. Lunarcy! pokes some fun at these characters, but it doesn't seem particularly mean-spirited. The film has a bitter-sweet, uplifting ending which essentially says, "Hey, if you want to go to the Moon, go. You probably won't be able to, because it's like, you know, in outer space and it often requires specialized training, a rocket and probably a trillion dollars; but knock yourself out. What's the harm in trying?", which seems ok to me.

Absolute Zero
Jeff Fahey stars in this disaster film where the Earth's magnetic poles move somehow, plunging Miami into a deep freeze. I'm not sure how or why. Anyway, Jeff Fahey travels to a backdrop of Antarctica and investigates an ice hole for some reason, and some sort of poorly-executed icetastrophe happens. Then a really abrupt and awkward transition happens, and Jeff Fahey is back in Miami, trying to warn everyone about the poles moving. People think he's a nut, of course, that is until they have to unconvincingly flee wind-toppled poolside beach umbrellas in unconvincing terror as unconvincing Miami CGI snow falls. Then some pseudo-science-y stuff happens, and some jerk gets stuck in an elevator, and Jeff Fahey has a really intense look of concern on his face. It looks a little like this:
It's pretty scary.

Raccoon Nation
The life of the urban scavenger is examined in this PBS documentary. This is what my life has become. My youngest daughter came home from college for the weekend, and her birthday is in a couple of days. To celebrate, I thought it would be a great idea if we all went to the cinema to see Pacific Rim. I was vetoed, because no one wanted to watch giant monsters and robots battle for 90 minutes. Why they wouldn't want to do that is mystifying to me. Instead, we stayed home, drank whiskey, ate ice cream cake, and watched a documentary about raccoons because that's fine, and by "we" I mean "I", except I skipped the whiskey.
I was actually going to call the raccoon a rodent, but I don't think that's what they are. What are they? The documentary never says. Hold on a second, and I'll check.
Hmm, apparently they are distant cousins to bears. No kidding. I had no idea. You know, that might have been a topic of discussion in the documentary, as I thought raccoons were rodents.
Then what the heck is an opossum? Are those rodents? Hold on a second, and I'll check.
No, apparently opossums are marsupials, and they're terrifying.
Clearly, a movie about a tornado filled with opossums has to be made.
Someone should get on that, but I'm afraid it might be too frightening for many viewers watching a swirling mass of flying opossums attack people and lay their possumy eggs inside the victims' brains. Gah, I might have nightmares.
A 36-foot crocodile is on the loose in this Chinese crocodile-on-the-loose film. I'm not going to try to hide it, but I was honestly disappointed that Croczilla was a merely-larger-than-average crocodile-on-the-loose movie, and not a loony Asylum-esque crocodile-Godzilla-hybrid-on-the-loose movie, which would be pretty interesting. Sadly, Croczilla isn't especially interesting. People shriek a lot, and run around a lot, and unconvincingly throw nets over one another for comedic effect, and crash motorscooters, and engage in some half-hearted crocodile-based slapstick, and that's not what I was really looking for. I wanted to see a 30-story-tall atomic monster with a crocodile head knock over some buildings; and if there was a tornado in it, that would be even better.
I'm still quite upset that I missed Sharknado, because I'm certain that Sharknado is going to be the best movie ever and my life is empty and pointless until I watch it.
OMG. Someone should combine Croczilla with Sharknado!
Yeah, that's the stuff. As you can see, I coerced the art department at Deathrage Industries to shove all other projects aside and combine the best elements of Sharknado and Croczilla into one awesome thing that should exist, and when they refused I shoved them all down the elevator shaft and did it myself.
By the way, I now have several positions available in the art department at Deathrage Industries.
It's a promo shot of Sharknado I found from the internets, only I crudely cut-and-pasted a picture of Godzilla over the shark in the tornado, and then cut-and-pasted a shot of a crocodile over Godzilla. It's genius, and I'm ready for all the m'f'n movie checks to start pouring in.
It'll be epic, and by "it" I mean both the movie and the checks.
Yeah, they changed the name of the film from Million Dollar Crocodile to Croczilla because obviously I wouldn't watch a movie called Million Dollar Crocodile.
No, I'm lying. I probably would.
Friday, July 12, 2013
I can't believe...
...I missed Sharknado. I'm so upset.
That is all.

The 18th Amendment to the Constitution and its repeal is examined in this well-made documentary by Ken Burns. I watched Prohibition because I took a tour of the Wild Turkey Distillery near Lexington, KY while I was on vacation, and there wasn't crap-else on Netflix to watch. The tour of the distillery was very informative, but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I actually drank. At the end of the tour, there's a tasting area where you get to choose two bourbons. I didn't choose. I don't drink, but I got the gist because the air surrounding the distillery was perfumed with the aroma of bourbon and rain. Why would I take a tour of a distillery when I don't drink? Well, I just like learning things, I guess. That's probably why I watch so many documentaries. Also, it rained almost continuously in every state I was in during my vacation, so I needed something to do.
Wait a second, let me rephrase that. Even though it rained almost continuously in every state I was in during my vacation, I needed MORE things to do while I was on vacation because my vacations almost resemble work. I did stuff for 12-14 hours every day, and collapsed in a heap of awesome at night. I travelled through multiple states in the southeastern US, ate many delicious meals, visited many interesting and offbeat places, and slept in several haunted hotels. I should tell you about it sometime. Well, I probably will, but not until March 2014.
Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me
I'm not going to review Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me.
Look, I already know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Well, why bother reviewing the movie because you don't review the movies you watch anyway? You introduce the plot of the movie and then go off on a tangent for a couple of paragraphs, post some music videos, and then post the trailer. So go ahead and skip to that, because I'd rather listen to Big Star's music than have you ramble on all day about your vacation or Junior Mints."
You know, that's very disrespectful and accurate, and if I was capable of human emotion I might be a little hurt and offended by that.
Fine, I won't tell you about all the great interviews with rock legends who were influenced by Big Star, and I won't tell you about the cool outtake recordings from the creation of their 3 classic LPs because you're an astute observer of my writing style and a big poopy head.
I don't need to be disparaged in this mean-spirited and precise way. Whatever.
