Hot Air Balloon VS Giant Floating Octopus
Also, I think we need an official EBD jacket like Commander Mark so people know we're not fucking around. Of course we'll need to take out some crayons to make room for switch blades, cigars, rolled up porno mags and little mini bottles of Jack Daniels.

And here's something to get you in the Holiday Spirit, now run and hide from Santa! This is right out of a Ren and Stimpy cartoon. I could easily see Wilbur J.

These are some maps i did where me & the director had some communication problems & i went a way too crazy on them. So, you get to see them early & i go back to the drawing board! I like this style though, i'll probably do some more stuff using this concept.
Here's M1 of Dead Prez with the Tofurky lunchbox i designed. My work is all over their website as well. Pretty weird to see people at Sundance sporting my ephemeral crapola. The lunchbox is being called "classic".
AND, a new seasonal Mr. Sean's Showbag. This one is for the New Year, which is my way of saying a universal Merry Christmas to all ragtag nonconforming individualistic cultures out there. I'm pretty obsessed with Punch & Judy.
You can get one for yourself or for some kids you know for $5 a pop. They include... a bunch of candy, gum, plastic toys, chinese finger trap, party popper, glow-stick, pogs, pack of Monsters, Weirdos & Creeps cards & the new FREE INSIDE Goblinko cereal box art mini-zine (full color) & whatever else i've got that's exciting lying around.

TCJ Narrative Corpse 2
Among many other well-known and not-so-well-known artists, serveral members of this venerable gang participated in a comic jam project which originated over on the Comics Journal message board. It was the second such endeavor, went on for over a year and was recently concluded. It turned out really nice and I daresay Sean, Zeke, Aeron, Ray, Jon, David and myself (edit: and CHRIS!) did a pretty good job of defending the honor of the Ducks.
Here's the blog page where the whole thing can be read.
These are my pages - I originally handed them in in black & white, but added some greyscales later:

Léo Quievreux: comix, graphzines, music
Here is an interview with Léo Quievreux. His graphic style is witty, personal and elegant.
May be some of you will take the opportunity of this interview to approach his work: Léo's website
"A: Can you tell me more about Gotoproduction? Where can we find the books?
L: Gotoproduction started as a small editorial which was realized in collaboration with two friends of mine. Between 1991 and 2000, we published about 60 books (illustrations, texts, comix). Most of them were photocopied (we were very careful in choosing the quality of the paper, the cover, etc…) while others were realized using a printer (to make more copies). One of our motivations was to make known authors like Pierre Francon or Anne-Laure Draisey, whose work we very much appreciate. Although Gotoproduction has ceased its activity, some copies might still be available in the excellent bookshops « Un Regard Moderne » or « La Comète de Carthage » in Paris.
A: I first discovered your work in 'En costume' (edition chacal puant) and I loved those three pages… What were the circumstances when working with Olive and Blanquet?
L: Well… This is an old story. It was a short contribution.
A: You have published a lot with "Le dernier cri"…
L: Indeed, the collaboration with this publisher has been constant for the last 10 years, which gave me the opportunity to meet many authors from all over the world and also persons working in the publishing business (notably people of Strapazin –Switzerland). I also discovered the screen-printing (I've often involved in the printing process of my books in Marseille); I find it very interesting...
A: There are many characters in Sàg… Do you make use of stereotypes or is it rather a fictionalization of real people?
L: Some of them were inspired by memories from my childhood or adolescence in Alsace (a region in France)…For instance, my grandfather used to take me to the shooting gallery (in Sàg n°1, the "author" of the bullet holes in that target is me!) I keep precious memories of these moments as well as the image of my grandfather's colleagues at the shooting sessions: an universe marked by strong influences from the right-wing politics and « a cowboyish way of things ». Schmitt and Vogel are eloquent examples of characters inspired by these memories. However, there is certainly a lot of fantasy and playing with imagination in this story (and some more bucolic memories!)
A : What is the meaning of the three-letter word "Sàg"?
L: "Sàg" means "Legend" in Alsatian.
A: Do you have any projects in the works that you can share with us?
L: Yes, I am working on a book with "Le Dernier Cri"- 130 pages in black and white (which will be released in 2009). I am also preparing a new comix collaboration with Tanguy, and of course my own comix projects.
There are some other things as well, you will be able to find more details on my website…
The following drawings will be part of the book which Leo is planning on making with Le Dernier Cri:

Kitchen Sink Cookies
Ingredient List
1/2 cup unsalted butter2/3 cup sugar
½ cup vegetable shortening
1 cups packed light brown sugar (or sugar in the raw)
½ cup vegetable shortening
1 cups packed light brown sugar (or sugar in the raw)
2 large eggs
2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose white flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
generous ½ teaspoon salt
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups corn flakes, crushed
1 ¼ cups (5 oz.) chopped pecans
1 ¼ cups (about 3 ½ oz.) shredded or flaked sweetened coconut
*1 tablespoon peanut butter
**2 cups Chocolate chips
The instructions, with pictures
preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a mixer or a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and brown and white sugars until light in color.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until fluffy.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until combined. Stir in the pecans, corn flakes, coconut and oats.
This is a good time to add chocolate chips. You can add peanut butter here too.
Use an ice cream scoop and place balls about 2 inces apart on silpat or greased cookie sheet.
Use your hand to pat down the balls until about 1/2 to one inch thick.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. The sides will be a light brown and the center will look slightly underdone. Set the cookie sheet onto a wire rack and let stand until the cookies firm up slightly, about 3-5 minutes (this is super important so they don't break apart!). Transfer cookies with a spatula to wire racks. Let stand until completely cooled.Makes 24-30 3 inch cookies. Store in an airtight containes for up to 1 week or freeze for up to one month.
Enjoy! Try them and let me know how much you love them.
Little note: you can make them larger or smaller, just adjust the cooking time. :)

I'm a big fan of the fantastic sound design of Diablo III. I'm also a big fan of Koji Kondo's original theme for Super Mario Bros.
So as you can imagine, I got a kick out of this remix by YouTuber Tyler73123, who puts the sounds of Diablo III behind the music from Mario. Okay so, he really just syncs up the sound effects to the rhythm of Mario, but it's still pretty funny.
My, what a nice sense of musicality you have, Diablo III! You must knock 'em dead at parties.

Nelson Rockefeller (born July 8, 1908 in Bar Harbor Maine, died January 26, 1979 in New York, New York) was Vice President of the USA under President Gerald R. Ford from 1974-1977. He was also Governor of New York, and ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination in 1960, 1964, and 1968. He was a liberal Republican.
He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1930. He married Mary Todhunter Clark on June 23 of that year, a few days after his graduation. Together they had five children. He divorced her in 1962 and the following year married Margretta Fitler Murphy and he had two children with her and remained married to her until his death in 1979.
He was also a prominent businessman and liberal Republican politician. He was the son of industrialist John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and the grandson of Standard Oil's founder and owner John D. Rockefeller. He was also the maternal grandson of USA Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island. He was an adviser to President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II and headed office of Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA).
After the war he continued as an adviser to President Truman and helped him to develop anti-communist geopolitical programs during the Cold War such such as Point Four. He also was an adviser to President Eisenhower. He left the Eisenhower administration eventually, though.
In 1958 he won his party's nomination to be governor of New York and proceeded to win the general election against Democratic incumbent Averill Harriman in an otherwise Democratic year. He unsuccessfully sought his party's presidential nomination in 1960 but withdrew from the race when it became clear that Richard Nixon would win the nomination. He campaigned for Nixon in the general election campaign. But Nixon still lost to Kennedy.
In 1964 Rockefeller again sought the Republican presidential nomination but lost to conservative USA Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Rockefeller backed Goldwater in the general election, but with more caution than he had supported Nixon. Rockefeller refused to publicly campaign with Goldwater. In 1968 Rockefeller again sought his party's presidential nomination but lost to Nixon.
He then supported Nixon wholeheartedly in the general election. After Nixon resigned because of the Watergate affair and Vice President Ford became president, the new president appointed Rockefeller vice president, before there was a competition between Rockefeller and George Bush to persuade Ford to pick them for the Vice Presidency.[1] Rockefeller was replaced by USA Senator Robert Dole as the Republican party's vice presidential nominee in 1976, due to opposition by conservatives to Rockefeller. He campaigned for Ford and Dole, but after the campaign he retired. He died of a heart attack in 1979.

I am using MS SQL Server 2008. I have a table in a database, in which records are being inserted and deleted.
Initially the table is empty. A Java program (probably) inserts few records in it. Another Java program quickly access the table and deletes the records (All the records which were inserted). And then I manually run a
select query on the table. So basically I can see only the "initial" and final state of the table, both of in which the table is empty.
I need to know that is there a way by which I can see those records, or at least check if something is being inserted/deleted?
Any help is appreciated.

On a recent episode of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson wouldn't rule out the possibility of a holdout if he isn't able to get the kind of contract extension he's looking for in Arizona.
Peterson was a first-round pick in 2011, which makes him eligible for an extension for the first time this offseason. It also makes him part of the first group whose contracts feature a team option for the fifth year of their careers, an option that can push extension talks later than they would for a player of Peterson's accomplishments.
Or Muhammad Wilkerson's, for that matter. The Jets defensive end is in the same boat as Peterson and would like an extension, but he broke from the cornerback when he said that a holdout isn't something under consideration this offseason.
"It will be taken care of, definitely," Wilkerson said, via Metro New York. "But all that holdout and all that other talk that people were saying and everything — I never said anything like that. I'm not going to hold out. It's not something I want; it's not something I'm thinking about. I'm going to show up like everybody else and do what I'm told."
An extension is still a possibility this offseason, but the presence of a fifth year option at a reasonable price (it's expected to be around $6 million for Wilkerson) means any longer deal would likely be on the team's terms. A holdout is about all the leverage a player can muster at the moment, but it is a costly route to take without any guarantee of success.

Grease and grime can build up quickly, especially in the kitchen. They combine to leave a sticky mess that coats surfaces. But cleaning up the grunge and grime can be problematic. Harsh chemical cleaners are bad for the environment as well as your family's health, while cotton cloths just push the muck around, and paper towels only add to the problems of overflowing landfills and deforestation.
The All-Purpose Kitchen Cloth quickly and thoroughly rids your kitchen of built-up grease and grime. Made especially to tackle tough messes, the waffle-weave cloth works using only water.

refresh necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 22 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a fun, dynamic, catchy logo and mascot for a CSS/XHTML slicing service. The winner gets first dibs on the website design and opportunity for ongoing work.
CHOPSHOP is a CSS/XHTML slicing service to be launched in Australia. We also perform CMS integration for WordPress, ExpressionEngine, X-Cart, digiSHOP and more.
I'm after a strong, bold logo and fun website mascot...sorta like the way the monkey is used on demodemo.com or the divlets on yodiv.com. I really like the mascot on freelanceswitch.com, very cute, nice scale, great personality. Please keep inmind we are a Web2.0 HTML/CSS slicing service, so it needs to fit inwith the theme - CHOPSHOP Kung Fu Code. We're quick and deadly accurate.
I want a cool, professional, modern or retro logo and cute mascot who is a Kung Fu master. I have visions of a Japanese guy with rising sun headband, or aChinese guy with a rice paddy hat. Or the old & wise Wong fromTekken. His name is Kungfucius.
Keep the mascot simple, i'm a big fan of Vaultboy from Fallout (fallout.bethsoft.com) Nice lines, a bit of a retro/techno mix. I prefer the look of computer-generated toons but understand initial concepts may be hand-drawn. Also love Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet.com...the way a man loves his dog, not his wife ;)
Maybe even a KungFu robot like Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!
For the CHOPSHOP logo - i'm after either a Web2.0 or retro font.Iwant the word CHOPSHOP and slogan Kung Fu Code to stand on their ownwithout relying on the mascot. The two can be linked eg mascot karate chopping the logo, but the two elements do not necessarily need to be directly linked. Referto yodiv.com where the logo is of a similar theme to the toons throughout the site.
A 4 to 5 page Web2.0 website will follow the logo design, the winner will get first dibs at the job. I have a number of follow up projects that need logo and web designs developed and am looking to attract talented designers for ongoing work.
Will consider other payment methods if I can access them from Oz.
- Web2.0 or retro logo. It will be used primarily on a website so please design for the web.
- I like Web2.0 stickers, so consider a white border or outline on the logo. See littlebigplanet.com.
- *maybe* a cartoon or dynamic font for CHOPSHOP, more Blambot's BADABOOM than Comic Sans. Again, this is a maybe - I want to be guided by your expertise so don't feel stifled by my limited imagination.
- Red, Black, White...open to alternatives. 3D like yodiv.com's divlets is an option.
- The word CHOPSHOP needs to be able to stand on it's own. Possibly two versions - one featuring the mascot for a large home page logo. One without the mascot on content pages, he will be elsewhere on the page.
- Kung Fu Code slogan below CHOPSHOP.
- CHOPSHOP Does not need to be capitalised, nor does Kung Fu Code.
- Computer-designed mascot. Something nice, cute, friendly and simple. I'm a big fan of Vaultboy from Fallout, Sackboy from Little Big Planet and Freelanceswitch.com's mascot.
- Strong illustration skills - we'll need you to create multiple graphics of the mascot for the website.
- Very good understanding of colour, typography and whitespace.
- Logo looks good on the web in a range of sizes.
- Vector-based file - EPS, AI or PDF.
- Clean, simple, effective branding.
- Great designers to have a crack.
- Ability to accept constructive criticism.
- A fun competition.
- Old-school mascots. If it looks like it could be Clip art, i don't want it.
- Boring.
- Corporate.
- Serif fonts.
- Poor font kerning.
- Half-arsed attempts. Don't waste your time or mine.

Lockheed Martin Astronautics to Build Mars '98 Spacecraft
Two small spacecraft -- an orbiter and lander -- to be launched to Mars in 1998 to help scientists trace the evolution of the planet's climate and search for water in the Martian soil will be built for NASA by Lockheed Martin Astronautics of Denver, Colo.
Dr. Edward C. Stone, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, announced the selection today after a fast paced, industry-wide competition lasting only two months. The estimated value of the contract is $92.2 million.
"Lockheed Martin Astronautics presented a very compelling case for its selection, in light of NASA's rigorous demands for two very complicated planetary missions in 1998," Stone said. "These requirements -- to develop and operate two spacecraft at the same level of funding that was previously allocated for a single mission -- brought in excellent designs for the orbiter and lander spacecraft from Lockheed Martin. This will result in significant savings because they will both be developed under the same roof."
The pair of spacecraft, currently called the Mars Surveyor 1998 orbiter and lander, continues NASA's efforts to cut costs by building smaller, less expensive planetary spacecraft. The 1998 orbiter will be just one-half the weight of Mars Global Surveyor, an orbiter that will be launched in 1996. The 1998 lander, similarly, will be just half the weight of the 1996 Mars Pathfinder, the smallest planetary lander yet constructed.
The new missions will be the second set of spacecraft in NASA's decade-long program of Mars exploration, known as the Mars Surveyor Program. The spacecraft will be launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., during the 1998 Mars launch opportunity, which falls between December 1998 and February 1999.
"The pair of spacecraft will be designed to continue exploring the history of climate change on Mars and initiate a search for water in the Martian soil," said Project Manager Dr. John McNamee of JPL. "Lockheed Martin Astronautics has demonstrated its commitment to our goals of continued exploration and forming a teaming relationship with industry by its willingness to invest internal funds to reduce some of the costs associated with building spacecraft for Mars Surveyor and other programs.
"In addition, Lockheed Martin demonstrated a commitment to mission success," he added, "by its willingness to forego all potential award fees in the event either spacecraft fails to perform its mission at Mars."
Science instruments for the 1998 lander will be selected following an announcement of opportunity planned for release by NASA in May. The 1998 orbiter will carry a camera (also to be selected through the May announcement of opportunity) and one of the two remaining science instruments from the former Mars Observer mission that could not be carried on the 1996 Mars Global Surveyor mission.
The new pair of spacecraft will return information that builds upon the goals of the 1996 missions, which seek to answer key questions about Mars's early history. The 1998 missions, however, will take that scientific quest a step further, initiating a search for water in the Martian soil and delving into longstanding theories about whether primitive life ever existed early in the planet's history.
During and after its primary science mission, the 1998 Mars Surveyor orbiter also will serve as a data relay satellite for the companion lander and for future NASA and international lander missions to Mars.
The extremely light weights of the new lander and orbiter will allow them to be launched on a newly designed launch vehicle, called the Med-Lite, which is roughly half the size of the Delta II launch vehicles being used for the 1996 Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Pathfinder missions. A Med-Lite will be capable of delivering about 450 kilograms (1,000 pounds) of hardware to Mars.
JPL manages the Mars Surveyor Program for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C.

This book is the product of another 'carpetbagger' - someone migrating temporarily into the world of storm chasing, doing his research, putting down his thoughts on what he's seen, and then packing his bags, off onto some new topic to write about and sell yet another book.
It dawned on me during this conversation with the person from AP that essentially all of the media reporting on tornadoes and science is being done virtually exclusively by carpetbaggers. The inaccuracy and lack of substance in media reporting is a direct result of the reporter's profound ignorance about the scientific subject. The people who actually know something about the subject matter typically are not those doing the media pieces. Reporters and documentary production teams roll in to do interviews either because of some recent events that call attention to tornadoes and tornado science, or because someone decided it was time to do another piece about the topic. Whatever the motivation, it's only a happy accident when they ask a meaningful question or know enough to interview someone who actually knows something and the interviewee manages to convey something accurately and clearly in his/her allotted soundbite(s) within the piece. That tidbit of reasonable information, however, will be overwhelmed by a veritable tsunami of misinformation in other pieces, or even by other content in the same piece containing the lonely morsel of accurate, meaningful information. How can the public tell the difference? Short answer -- they mostly can't.
Carpetbaggers frequently focus their interviews on "names" in the field, some of whom may be in management and who may not actually know much about the subject. Interviewees always have personal biases in how they see things (that includes me, of course!), so the tidbit that gets quoted from them may not be representative of how many members of the profession feel about any given topic. Given that everyone is biased, how does one distill the truth from all the media pieces? Seeking the truth is about getting information from many sources, not just the "names" in the field, or what the media provide. But most people don't seem to be all that interested in tornadoes (for example) -- except possibly when it's on the evening news or when it affects them personally. For many, it's evidently too much trouble to spend time searching for the truth by doing some serious study of the topic. So they view the garbage that spews out of the media and think they learned something, when most of what they received was superficial crap, much of it actually misinformation.
The media reporters are almost unanimous in their contempt for their audience. "Dumb it down to the 3rd grade level, please!" If all the public ever gets is 3rd grade content, then this contempt becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. No one seems interested in challenging their viewers to think, apparently because they believe they're incapable of it. That's not what the media are about, it seems.
The sad fact is that if media pieces are the primary process by which most people learn about tornadoes and tornado science (or any other technical topic), then any attempt to inform them via this pathway is doomed. There's no reason to attempt to interject your knowledge and experience into the torrent of media content, because it will end up being diluted beyond recognition. People who study and forecast tornadoes aren't writing these media pieces -- they're quite fully occupied with doing that work, which absorbs most of their attention (apart from whatever time they might devote to their families and hobbies). And the media moguls aren't very interested in seeking their contributions, anyway. What does a scientist know about journalism?
As luck would have it, I was a budding journalist in high school. And my journalism mentor made it very clear to me that if you do an interview, you have to work very hard to get your facts straight. You don't write the story until after you've done the research. And you should ask your source(s) to check your story for factual content before you run it! This standard of journalism seems to have become "old-fashioned" and mostly "out of style" today. The superficiality and outright misinformation pouring from the media on a daily basis is an inevitable result of this carpetbagging. Today's style of journalism makes this inescapable, so I don't do interviews any more!

It's just commonly known at firms that a lot of schools create extra RA gigs if they have extra students without jobs.
Yeah, that's definitely true, but firms will be able to tell from your GPA whether you are one of those people they have to create a job for or whether you are someone who could have done something else but chose to be an RA. (And yes, we are out there!) I get that having an RA gig is often a signal that you were unable to get another job. But if it's clear from everything else (you have a high GPA, you interview well, etc.) that you are not one of those people who got stuck being an RA, then the reason for not doing it doesn't apply to you, and you shouldn't dismiss it right away if you are really excited about it and you can get an RA-ship with a well-known prof.

Cricket Web's current Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"Raab gives the 5pm press conference with the air of a man who strongly suspects theres a chalk penis drawn on his back, but is just going to butch it out by facing forward till the bell goes." - The Guardian's Marina Hyde on the UK's supply prime minister
Thanks to the Beeb.
England: Mark Cueto; David Strettle, Dan Hipkiss, Andy Farrell, Jason Robinson; Jonny Wilkinson, Shaun Perry; Andrew Sheridan, Mark Regan, Phil Vickery (captain), Simon Shaw, Steve Borthwick, Martin Corry, Joe Worsley, Nick Easter.
Replacements: George Chuter, Matt Stevens, Lewis Moody, Lawrence Dallaglio, Peter Richards, Toby Flood, Mathew Tait
Well it's a predictable mix of the first choice with the fringe. Ashton has given at least four players (Hipkiss, Farrell, Shaw & Easter) who might not be on the plane (or Eurostar) as of now to play themselves into or out of contention.
Back-row looks like a back-row a backs coach would pick too. Corry (who played v Wales & France at lock) is at blindside, Worsley (very much a 6) is at openside & Nick Easter (who'd you'd think would be behind Dallaglio & Ward-Smith) starts at 8.
The halves & the back-line are probably our current first choices tho. The absences of Abendanon, Cipriani & Lewsey might mean they miss out this time round.
I still don't really know about Shaun Perry, decent player but doesn't do it for me. I'd rather have Richards or Ellis (where is he for that matter?) in the 9 slot.
Sadly we're not overburdened with choice at scrum-half since Matt the mouth gave it away. I prefer Perry to Richards tho on the grounds that Perry has the better distribution.
Just back from watching England fairly rip yer Welsh a new one @ Twickers. 62-5! My Wales look average. Admittedly it wasn't there strongest line-up, but to conceed a record score was a bit disappointing. Our pack was very impressive but (weird to say despite the score) our backs aren't gelling yet. Until the very end all our tries came from the forwards or Perry, who played as an adjunct to the pack today.
Think we'll find out more against the French (which I haven't got ticket for ) next week.
Perry was so gun. Centres still look ****, mind.
What was Brew sin binned for, btw? Are you not allowed to tackle in union?
Nadgers. England's bogie-bone strikes again. From The Beeb.
Looks like the young fella might miss out this time.
wilkinson is not at the same potential he had in 2003 so england are going to have to focus more on kicking
From the BBC.
Backs (14): M Cueto (Sale Sharks); J Lewsey (Wasps), J Robinson (Sale Sharks), P Sackey (Wasps); D Hipkiss (Leicester), J Noon (Newcastle), M Tait (Newcastle); M Catt (London Irish), A Farrell (Saracens); O Barkley (Bath), J Wilkinson (Newcastle); A Gomarsall (Harlequins), S Perry (Bristol), P Richards (London Irish).
Forwards (16): G Chuter (Leicester), L Mears (Bath), M Regan (Bristol); P Freshwater (Perpignan), A Sheridan (Sale Sharks), M Stevens (Bath), P Vickery (Wasps); S Borthwick (Bath), M Corry (Leicester), B Kay (Leicester), S Shaw (Wasps); L Dallaglio (Wasps), N Easter (Harlequins), L Moody (Leicester), T Rees (Wasps), J Worsley (Wasps).
No real huge surprises. Tom Plamer might feel slightly miffed, having gone from starting lock in our last 6 Nations game to missing out altogether, but Shaw, Kay & Borthwick have all performed creditably in the warm-ups & Corry also provides cover in the back row. Barkley may be the luckiest man on the plane as I can only think his superior goal-kicking got him the nod over Flood because I thought his option taking versus France was rather ordinary.
Yesterday I was watching the 1991 RWC semifinal, when a doubt came to my mind... Is the Calcutta Cup at stake during the RWC matches between England and Scotland?

Event is first in series of statewide forums that will bring awareness of MU Extension's influence on every county in the state
MARSHALL, Mo. – University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe joined MU Extension officials and community leaders at a forum in Marshall today that focused on how Extension benefits Missouri communities, and how it can even better connect with citizens in the future. The event was the first of a statewide "Extension Connections" initiative, occurring in what is the 100th anniversary year of the establishment of MU Extension, whose aim is to bring similar town hall forums to counties across the state over the next year.
Today's event at the Martin Community Center included local community leaders, Extension faculty and staff from Saline County, additional Extension leadership from the State Extension Council, and State Representatives Dave Muntzel and Dean Dohrman.
"For 100 years, MU Extension has been an integral part of communities across Missouri," Wolfe said. "Serving as a one-stop source for practical education on almost any topic, Extension excels at connecting university resources and research with residents in communities in every corner of Missouri. I was pleased to take part in today's first Extension Connections forum in Marshall, to visit with community leaders about how Extension is an asset to their community and how it can even better serve Marshall and Saline County in the future."
The Saline County Extension Office had 10,369 contacts with local residents during 2013, where citizens received a variety of services including education programs covering topics in agriculture, lawn and garden, home and consumer life, nutrition and health, families, community and leadership development, business and careers, and emergency preparedness. The office also provided training in such areas as disaster planning and recovery, small business development, soil testing, private pesticide application, and plant and insect identification.
"MU Extension is a prominent example of how the University of Missouri System has a presence in Missouri communities across the state every day, but it's not the only example," Wolfe said. "We also touch residents every day through our health care system, MOREnet program, agricultural experiment stations, and in educating the state's future workforce. An investment in the University of Missouri is truly an investment in Missouri's future."
There are currently 106 Saline County residents attending one of the four University of Missouri System campuses. In addition, more than 3,400 Saline County resident received either medical or dental care from a University of Missouri Health Care professional during 2013, and the Missouri Telehealth Network, which allows patients to have live, real-time interactions with university health specialists via telecommunications, has two locations in Saline County at the Marshall Habilitation Center and Saline County Burrell Behavioral Health. And the Missouri Research and Education Network (MOREnet), which provides Internet connectivity and video conferencing to schools, colleges, libraries and local governments across the state, provides services to such organizations as the Marshall Public Schools, Library and Municipal Utilities, Missouri Valley College and several area school districts.

Scientists plan to analyze the pyramid-shaped rock that's nicknamed "Jake." NBC's Brian Williams reports.
The first rock that NASA's Curiosity rover will touch for science's sake on Mars is a pyramid-shaped chunk that's been named in honor of a top engineer who worked on every one of NASA's rover missions — but passed away just days after Curiosity's landing.
Curiosity's study of the rock, dubbed "Jake Matijevic," will dominate the next few days of the rover's operations on Mars, just as its observations of Martian mini-eclipses dominated the past few days.
Jake the rock, which measures about 10 inches (25 centimeters) tall and 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide, isn't all that exotic. It seems to consist of garden-variety basalt, similar to the first Martian rock that NASA's Spirit rover examined eight and a half years ago. And that's exactly the point, according to Caltech's John Grotzinger, project scientist for the Curiosity mission. Jake will provide a good yardstick for sophisticated instruments such as the Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer, or APXS, and the laser-zapping ChemCam analyzer.
By matching up the chemical readings from the different instruments, Curiosity's science team will be able to confirm that the findings from the fancy-schmancy ChemCam are consistent with the readings from the APXS, an upgraded version of a device that was included on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. Grotzinger told reporters today that it's an opportunity to compare "something which is tried and true with the latest and greatest new technology."
ChemCam can focus on areas that are less than a millimeter (0.04 inch) wide, while the APXS' best resolution ranges around 1.5 centimeters (0.6 inch).
Grotzinger estimated that the testing could begin on Friday — which is the Martian day, or sol, after tomorrow ("solorrow," he quipped). It could take a couple of sols for the rover to reach out its 7-foot-long (2.1-meter-long) robotic arm and use the APXS as well as the fine-resolution Mars Hand Lens Imager, or MAHLI. The rover might have to back up a bit to give the rock a proper zapping with ChemCam's laser. The flashes of light from the tiny laser blasts will be analyzed by an onboard spectrometer to determine the rock's elemental composition.
Remembering Jake
Richard Cook, project manager for the $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory mission, said the rock's name pays tribute to Jacob Matijevic, a leading engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who was involved in NASA's rover missions since Mars Pathfinder and the Sojourner rover in 1997. Matijevic was a Chicago native who earned his Ph.D. in mathematics and came up with the Matijevic Theorem, which was once described as "one of the most beautiful results of recent years in commutative algebra."
Matijevic's obituary in the Chicago Tribune notes that he came to JPL in 1981 and took on a variety of assignments. Eventually, he came to specialize in systems engineering for the Mars rover designs as well as rover surface operations. "He was probably one of the top one or two experts on surface operations here at JPL," Cook said.
Matijevic played a key role in the Spirit and Opportunity rover missions, which were originally planned to last just 90 days on Mars. Grotzinger recalled that Matijevic once said "if this rover lasts six months, it'll probably last six years."
"He seems to have come pretty close," Grotzinger observed.
The engineer switched over from Opportunity to the Mars Science Laboratory mission, but passed away at the age of 64 on Aug. 20, after battling respiratory problems, the Tribune reported.
Grotzinger said Matijevic would have loved dealing with the complexities involved in studying the rock that's named after him. "All that activity and all those considerations are what honor Jake Matijevic so well," he said.
The chief aim of Curiosity's two-year primary mission is to analyze Mars' geology and surface chemistry and determine whether the planet could have been potentially habitable in ancient times. After studying Jake's memorial rock, Curiosity is due to move on to an area known as Glenelg, where three types of geological formations come together.
Since its landing on Mars on Aug. 5, the six-wheeled rover has covered more than half of the quarter-mile (400-meter) distance to Glenelg, and its cameras are getting a better view of the place. Grotzinger said the pictures show thin bands of dark rock that appear to alternate with lighter-toned rock. "As we get closer in to the Glenelg area, we'll understand better and better what these areas are," Grotzinger said. Curiosity is expected to get to the area in a couple of weeks, he said.

Messages from mini-eclipses
The Curiosity team is also planning to receive more pictures of the partial solar eclipses that the rover's high-resolution Mastcam system has observed over the past week. Mark Lemmon, a science team co-investigator from Texas A&M University, said close analysis of the imagery could provide insights into the interior structure of Mars and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
Mastcam took hundreds of pictures when Phobos made two passes over the sun's disk, and again when Deimos made one pass. Such transits occur multiple times during a short season, and then they don't occur again for nearly one Earth year. Lemmon explained that the timing of the eclipses could be compared with past sightings to produce precise measurements of how the moons' orbits have changed due to Mars' gravitational tides.
"We can't go inside Mars, but we can use these to tell how much Mars is deformed when the moons go by," Lemmon said. "So we measure the transits very precisely [and] we get information on Mars' interior structure."
Some high-resolution images from Phobos' first transit were sent down to Earth over the weekend, but most of the imagery is still saved in the rover's computer memory on Mars, awaiting the right opportunity for transmission, Lemmon said.
Phobos and Deimos have irregular shapes, and the prevailing wisdom is that they're both asteroids that were pulled into orbit by Mars' gravitational pull. Phobos averages 14 miles (22.2 kilometers) in width, and Deimos is roughly 8 miles (12.6 kilometers) wide. Deimos circles Mars at a distance of 14,580 miles (23,460 kilometers), while Phobos is much closer (5,800 miles, or 9,400 kilometers). Phobos is gradually coming even closer to Mars, which makes the moon's orbit unstable over the long term: One of these days, it will break up into pieces and perhaps produce a ring of debris around the Red Planet.
Fortunately, that day isn't expected to come for 10 million to 15 million years. "Curiosity will be safe for a little while," Lemmon said.

Upon leaving Parsons School of Design, Carmen's first position was with Bill Atkinson in mid-1970. However, Carmen's real professional career began with an offer to work in Paris with the house of Nina Ricci. This was followed by a position with Christian Dior in the same city. Dior is where he established his true sense of the couture aesthetic, which so embodies all of his works to date.
By 1989 he was ready to launch his own label. With only a few thousand dollars, he fearlessly pulled together a collection to show to department and specialty stores at the fall fashion market in New York. His collection was an instant success and was bought by several top stores. But it was his eveningwear, his true passion, which captured the hearts of buyers at both Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
Having established a solid reputation as one of 7th Avenue's most noteworthy independent brands with his Black Label Collection, Carmen launched Carmen Marc Valvo Couture in 1998.

SNOW HILL � About two dozen citizens listened as Sharon Edmundson, director of the State Treasurer�s Fiscal Management Section, gave Greene County board members the rundown on the county�s financial state.
SNOW HILL � About two dozen citizens listened as Sharon Edmundson, director of the State Treasurer�s Fiscal Management Section, gave Greene County board members the rundown on the county�s financial state.
Among them were Snow Hill Commissioner Becki Scarborough and Arba resident Jody Tyson, who occasionally raised canned responses on handmade signs to the board. Scarborough said they had the signs because they were told by the board not to speak out.
Edmundson said the county�s fund balance was at 6.23 percent, or $1.1 million, on June 30 � below the 8 percent �bare minimum� to keep a county going for one month. The average county with a population under 25,000 is 27.99 percent, she said.
�This didn�t happen overnight,� she said. �The county�s used the fund balance to balance its budget for at least the last three years.�
Each year, the problem escalates as the hole in the budget gets bigger. And even with hiring and travel freezes, next year�s budget will prove an even bigger challenge, Edmundson said.
�However, looking forward for 2013-14,� she said, �we have a bigger concern. Right now as the budget stands, the very early rough estimates, you�re going to have almost a million dollar hole.�
Deferring the decision to replace the money taken out of the fund balance is no longer an option, she said. Cash shortages and not getting loans approved by the Local Government Commission could be the next step, if changes aren�t made.
On a positive note, the county doesn�t have a cash shortage, has no plans for any major loans in the near future and has reduced the budget shortfall down to $160,000.
�They�ve made good progress in getting that number down,� Edmundson said about the shortfall.
Edmundson, who had visited Snow Hill for similar reasons a few years back, told commissioners �everything should be on the table� when making priorities and setting goals.
She discussed several items for the board to consider that may help them balance next year�s budget.
Residents will be receiving their first property tax bill later in the year following the new re-valuations. Edmundson said the average increase across the county is 4 percent. The state requires government entities to calculate and publish the revenue-neutral tax rate.
�However,� she said, �it�s a common misconception that you are required to adopt that rate, and that�s not true. You just have to calculate and publish it.�
A 1 percent tax rate increase generates about $90,000, she said.
Edmundson said the county only collects about 50 percent of the Emergency Medical Services fees imposed on patients.
�By not collecting the other 50 percent,� she said, �you�re subsidizing that service with tax dollars.�
The county has had good success utilizing the State Department of Revenue�s debt set-off program to collect unpaid taxes and fees, but Edmundson suggests it could have more dept collected.
Certain costs, including portions of the county manager and finance officer�s salaries and audit fees, could be allocated to the water and sewer fund, which pays for itself.
Edmundson encouraged commissioners to look at all aspects of the budget � especially the revenues and expenditures, and pay attention to the monthly expenditure statement and statement of cash position.
Commissioner Denny Garner said he never knew a three-page letter dated Jan. 17, 2012, from the State Treasurer�s office had been sent to the county until recently.
�I never saw that letter until Dec. 13th of this (fiscal) year,� he said to Edmundson. �I did not know until last week that you came down and met with our county manager and finance officer twice last year.�
Edmundson said the letter was sent to the county manager, finance officer and board chairman. But this year�s letter, addressing more serious issues, was sent to all the board members, as well. She made a note and said further letters regarding the budget condition would be sent to the entire board.
She also suggested the board hire a county manager with �a strong background in finance,� but not to expect a quick turnaround.
�However,� Edmundson said, �you will need an experienced manager to lead you through the next several years to get where you want to be with your financials.�

I had an exciting time roasting my first batch of Monsooned Malabar (Arabica). For anyone who hasn't tried them, the beans look like the first beachgoers after a long, long, sunless winter. They're almost white and look a bit "puffy."
I put 300 g of them in the Maggio at 155°C and they acted just like any other bean...for the first 9 minutes, or until the temperature was back up to about 165°C and then all of a sudden they took off. First crack sounded like a civil war and the amount of chaff was astonishing.
The temperature curve rose almost vertically and I never heard the end of first or beginning of second crack, but as they approached the flash point, I could see oil on them and the temperature was rising so fast that I was sure they would catch fire so I dumped them. They were very oily, but not all that dark and after cooling the oil was mostly reabsorbed into the beans and I would rate them Full City.
It was the strangest roast I've ever experienced. It's like the process became exothermic very early on, at about the time of first crack. I glanced at the fire extinguisher a couple of times.
I had my first cups yesterday and I am blown away (pun sort of unintentional). A kind of earthy chocolate in milk drinks, sweet and very full bodied. As espresso they make a very dark cup, reddish brown crema and an aroma like a spice drawer! As the cup cools down it goes from nutmeg and cinnamon to walnuts, coriander and mace, but with a full-coffee base, if that makes any sense. It's not like some spicy coffees that don't taste like coffee anymore, this is unmistakably coffee, but with all kinds of subtle spices added and what's more sweet and potent.
I don't think I will roast another batch right away as I think it best to keep this as a shocker, perhaps once a month or so. I would hate to get used to drinking it. I might grow tired of it, too. I served Karin a cappuccino this afternoon and after the first taste she looked into the cup and asked me if I had sweetened it. She liked it so much she asked for a second.
With the taste of spices and nuts this is really an interesting coffee. I suppose one has to have an open mind about it as it isn't like any of the clean tasting, fruity Arabicas we drink most of the time.

Director Jason Winer of "Modern Family" and writer Max Werner of "The Colbert Report," help craft two of the funnier shows on television, and now they're joining forces for a romcom about a guy who tends to collapse when he's happy.
Winer and Werner are developing "Joy," a film based on "I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up," a segment of NPR's "This American Life," that focused on Matt Frerking, who suffers from a rare condition called narcolepsy with cataplexy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Narcolepsy, as you likely know, causes people to suddenly fall asleep, and 70 percent of those who experience it also suffer from cataplexy, which causes the body to go completely limp. Worse still is that it is often triggered by strong emotions, particularly positive ones, like love--you can see where this could work as a set-up for a romcom.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Winer last feature film was Russell Brand's adaptation of "Arthur," which was made watchable thanks only to a typically excellent turn from Greta Gerwig. Werner's first foray into feature, "Fun Size," is due next fall and tells the story of a girl who loses track of her little brother one Halloween night.

Physical science experiments
Determination of de-mixing and instabilities in metal halide lamps in weightlessness
High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps are gaining ground in the lighting industry because of their very high-energy efficiency. Inside these lamps, which are enclosed in a ceramic container, the gaseous contents begin to de-mix or separate away from each other over time. When this separation occurs the resulting distribution of light is non-uniform in the illuminated area.
Furthermore, instabilities might occur in the lamp. This instability is characterized by the fact that the central channel of the plasma (ionised or electrically charged gas) starts to bend away from the central axis and may even start to rotate around this axis, in the shape of a corkscrew.
Although the instability may not have a direct detrimental effect on the efficiency of the lamp, lamps which are instable for a prolonged period, may develop a crack in the wall of the 'burner' allowing the gaseous contents to leak into the outer bulb, and thus making the lamp no longer functional. Furthermore they make the lamp flicker.
The main objectives of this experiment are to determine which factors are critical in the onset of spiral formation instabilities in HID lamps and to characterise the separation of individual gaseous elements in HID lamps using high-resolution emission spectroscopy. Spectroscopy analyses the light emissions coming from the different elements within the lamp.

Naveen Jindal: Philanthropist Leader Shows the Way
Naveen Jindal
In the almost two decades since Naveen Jindal earned his MBA from UT Dallas in 1992, he has become a leading industrialist, ascendant statesman and driving force for higher education in his home country of India.
Named a UT Dallas Distinguished Alumnus last year, he recently invigorated support of his alma mater by presenting the University its single-largest alumni gift ever, part of a joint, $30 million gift presented with fellow alumni, Charles and Nancy Davidson to the School of Management.
"It's very important to build institutions of higher learning," Mr. Jindal said about the philosophy behind his philanthropy.
"My vision and desire is that the [Jindal] School of Management becomes the school of choice for some of the brightest and best individuals who will truly lead us into the next generation, leaders who will truly embrace the global vision [and] balance the needs of the people with the environment in an ethical and sustainable manner."
In memory of his father, Om Prakash Jindal, Mr. Jindal started the O.P. Jindal Global University in his home state of Haryana, India. JGU focuses on business, international affairs, law and public policy. Through it, Mr. Jindal, who serves as the institution's chancellor, said, "We hope to make a meaningful contribution to knowledge creation and nation building."

Biography: President David E. Daniel
Mr. Jindal's business career has roots in the O.P. Jindal Group, the multibillion-dollar family conglomerate his father built from steel-pipe trading ventures in the 1950s. The youngest of O.P.'s four sons, Naveen serves as chairman and managing director of Jindal Steel and Power Limited, a steel manufacturer that has diversified into cement production, mining, oil and gas, and power generation. Mr. Jindal is credited with changing JSPL from a money loser to a vigorous achiever. Named to the Forbes Asia list of Fab 50 Companies in 2009 and 2010, JSPL also was rated the No. 2 value creator in the world, based on total shareholder return, in 2010 Boston Consulting Group rankings.
"My vision and desire is that the [Jindal] School of Management becomes the school of choice for some of the brightest and best individuals who will truly lead us into the next generation, leaders who will truly embrace the global vision [and] balance the needs of the people with the environment in an ethical and sustainable manner."
Naveen Jindal
A national record holder in India for skeet shooting and an adept polo player, Mr. Jindal was described in a 2009 Forbes Asia profile as "more interested in sports than in the family trade" as a youth. But at UT Dallas, he found another passion, politics. He served first as Student Government vice president, then president, at the same time earning the Student Leader of the Year Award.
Inspired by frequent and proud displays of the U.S. flag on campus, Mr. Jindal later successfully challenged India's Flag Code, which had allowed the banner to be put on view only on special occasions. The multi-year court battle birthed his parliamentary career. Like his father before him, Mr. Jindal won a seat in the Lok Sabha, Parliament's lower house. He serves his home district of Kurukshetra. Now in his second five-year term, he champions health and educational facilities for his district. He also backs a clean environment, a hunger-free society, an end to corruption, population stabilization, women's empowerment and sports of all kinds.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas jumped out to an early 7-0 lead against No. 14 South Carolina with a touchdown on the opening drive of the game.
Then it was the Gamecocks turn. And again. And again.
South Carolina's offense did pretty much whatever coach Steve Spurrier wanted it to do against the Arkansas defense Saturday in a 52-7 win at Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The Gamecocks rolled for 254 first-half yards as they scored 24 unanswered points that effectively ended the game by halftime.
"Today is a day you have to put in the memory bank and vow that you'll never let it happen again as a head coach, as an assistant coach, as a coordinator, as a player, as second-string (or) third-string," Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema said. "Just unacceptable."
South Carolina ran 47 first-half plays to 24 for Arkansas. The Razorbacks had three possessions of less than four plays, including one that ended on a Brandon Allen interception that set up Mike Davis' 6-yard TD run for a 10-7 South Carolina lead.
After that, the rout was on. Bielema said dealing with adversity is one of the Razorbacks' weakest traits.
"It's very hard to simulate adversity and that's the one thing we can't sustain," Bielema said. "We have one negative play and it just cartwheels into everything. … It's a very frustrating feeling."
After the first of three consecutive three-and-outs by the Arkansas offense, South Carolina marched 71 yards in 11 plays for a 17-7 lead. Connor Shaw threw a 9-yard touchdown to Bruce Ellington early in the second quarter and then connected with him again for a 4-yard TD seconds before halftime for a 24-7 lead.
"Their second scoring drive … defensively we had, I believe, five different misalignments and execution on an 11-play drive," Bielema said. "You can't play winning football that way."
Arkansas had chances to stop the South Carolina onslaught. On both of the Shaw-to-Ellington TD drives, the Razorbacks held the Gamecocks on third downs. Both times on fourth-and-1, Spurrier elected to go for it. Both times, he was rewarded with first downs and, eventually, touchdowns.
"It was very tough, especially when the offense just keeps going, keeps pounding. I feel like we got winded and got stung in the mouth. We didn't execute, didn't fill our gaps the right way," Arkansas linebacker Jarrett Lake said. "It's very frustrating.
"When you're out on the field for so long, it feels like everybody stops worrying about where you're supposed to head and everybody freestyles out there. Plus, your wind doesn't catch back up to you and they have all the momentum going for them."
Shaw completed 15-of-24 attempts for 149 yards for two touchdowns in the first half. He also ran nine times for 20 net yards. On those 33 plays, the senior gained an average of 5.12 yards. His quarterback rating for the half was 142.15. Brandon Allen, for contrast, posted a 37.2 QB rating with 3-of-9 passing for 28 yards and one interception in the opening two quarters.
If the passing game wasn't enough to dishearten the Arkansas defense, they also had to deal with an effective running game. Davis gained 68 first-half yards on 10 carries with a touchdown as the Gamecocks ran for 105 yards in the opening two quarters.
"We're not this good and they're not that bad, but it really worked out for us today," Spurrier said. "I do feel badly for Arkansas. That's no fun getting your butt beat at home, homecoming and all that."
Chris Smith — who won the Crip Hall Award given to the most outstanding performance by a senior in the homecoming game by recording seven tackles — said Davis took advantage of mistakes by the Razorbacks.
"There was a lot of misalignments and that's how they got some of those big plays, especially Davis," Smith said. "If one person is out of alignment or out of their gap, he's going to take it. He's a great running back."
The Gamecocks snuffed out any chance of a Razorback comeback by holding the ball for 11:52 in the third quarter and padding their lead to 38-7 as Shaw threw a 45-yard TD pass and ran for a 10-yarder.
As if giving up 52 points and 537 yards wasn't bad enough, the already injury-plagued Arkansas defense lost defensive tackle Robert Thomas to a broke bone in his leg. They were already without cornerback Will Hines, who broke his arm against Florida, and linebacker Martrell Spaight missed Saturday's game with a knee injury.
"Our numbers just got kind of thin," Bielema said. "We just don't have a lot of guys who can make plays in space. We lose a couple and it really takes a cumulative effect."

'Madras Cafe' is India's 'Argo': John AbrahamMar 1, 2013 IANS
Mumbai, March 1 (IANS) Actor John Abraham, who is currently shooting for his next home production, political thriller "Madras Cafe", says his team proudly called it the "Argo" of India.
"My studio (people) saw the rushes of the film day before yesterday and the only thing they said was - 'Thanks for this opportunity to support this film because this is like the 'Argo' of India'," the 40-year-old said here Thursday at the unveiling of Star Week magazine cover featuring him.
"According to me, 'Madras Cafe' is a very international film and I also feel it is a film that India can proudly showcase and say, 'We also make a film of this kind'," he added.
Directed by Ben Affleck, "Argo" talks about an Iran hostage crisis in 1979. The film had received seven nominations for the 85th Academy Awards and won three trophies - best film editing, best adapted screenplay and best picture.
John, whose first production was "Vicky Donor", plans to break the stereotype image that Bollywood films have in the west.
"Normally we are very proud of our films, I enjoy films like 'Golmaal' and 'Housefull' because they make you laugh, it's fun. But normally when we go out, our films are typecast as just a Bollywood film. It becomes a caricature.
"I have tried to break that caricature with 'Madras Cafe' and I create a film that I take to the west and say 'Listen, this film is as better as your film, if not better'," John said.
To make it even bigger, John has planned an international release for the movie in North America and Europe.
"'Madras Cafe' is a film that I choose to release completely in the North American market and not just for the Indian diaspora there. I feel it's a film like 'Amores Perros' or any of the international films that release in North America and Europe on a wide scale. So I will plan a release with Paramount Pictures and make it big," John said.
In "Madras Cafe", John plays an army officer, who later joins the intelligence agency RAW. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the film also stars Nargis Fakhri and is slated to release in August. Click the Movie button below for more info:

The Pacific Boychoir performed Rachmaninoff's Vespers "All-Night Vigil" on May 10, 2013. It was held at the First Congregational Church in Los Angeles, CA. I had never been to that church before, so when I walked in I was amazed at the beauty within. It was night so I wasn't able to see the details on most of the stain glass windows, but they had lights reflecting on some of them that gave it a majestic feeling.
The music began with the sound of the pitch pipe giving the starting note, because the Vigil was sung a capella. The sound was rich and full as they began to sing the first movement, "Priidite, Poklonimsia (Come, Let Us Worship)." During the second movement "Blagoslovi, Dushe Moya, Ghospoda (Bless the Lord, O My Soul)" three boys came towards the front and about 14 of the boys went to sit in the side pews. The three boys sang in unison as the remainder of the choir sang in the background. the boys sound was clear and they sang as one voice.
Throughout the performance their dynamics were spectacular. They would rise and fall together. During the sixth movement, "Bogoroditse Devo (Rejoice, O Virgin)" it was as if an orchestra was playing along with them. As movement seven "Shestopsalmiye (The Six Psalms)" began you could feel the bass line resonate through you. It was as if there were monks chanting praises to their God.
Tenor Daniel Coy Babcock graced us with his vocals in movements four, five and nine. Before the performance I read that he was an acclaimed soloist in high demand. After his performance I can see why. He sings with such grace and movement, that it brings the music to life. His voice floated so perfectly over the choir. Which is credit to him and the choir. In movement nine "Blagosloven Yesi, Ghospodne (Blessed Art Thou, O Lord)" the choir sang with such a lyrical feeling, that it was as if it was floating through the air. The boys singing the soprano line sounded of angles and with the mix of the men's bass line, the movement reached into my soul, and I felt it resonating deep within.
As movement 15 "Vzbrannoy Voyevode (To Thee, the Victorious Leader)" took its place in the Vigil you knew the end was near. All of the boys were singing with confidence and power. each had a unique look about them, a certain way they held their music or carried themselves, but their voices were as one. As a singer myself I know of the difficulty it can be to have a seamless blend of voices, especially in young students. I applaud the Pacific Boychoir for their dedication and skill.
The Pacific Boychoir is made up of young men ages 5-18, and are based in Oakland, California. They have performed with the San Francisco Symphony, the National Symphony Orchestra of Brazil, the Vienna Boys Choir, the Trinity Lyric Opera, the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra and many other groups. They are a group of well behaved boys. I've taught and watched my share of boys ages 5-18 and the majority of them don't sit still especially at classical concerts. these boys showed their love for the music and singing by learning the Russian words, sitting patiently when they were not singing, and giving an absolutely beautiful performance.
