Bits from Karl Malone's "Through My Eyes" — 6/13
I hate listening to "grandpa stories" in real life, but I could listen to Karl Malone tell grandpa stories all the live-long day.
On Holding Grudges
** I didn't hold grudges, [but] I do remember one guy that I never was able to get back that gave me a cheap shot, and that was Terry Porter. Out of all the people that ever, ever I wanted to get back, it was Terry Porter. …
I never forget it, we was in Minnesota. And we had scored on them every time. Terry Porter, being the veteran, just hit me right below the belt, and I doubled over. And I tell you what, Danny Crawford, to this day, I look at Danny different, because he saw what [Porter] had done. I get the ball, I take five or ten steps, and take a timeout myself, and he did not call a travel, 'cause he had knew what happened.
And Terry Porter, here's what I used to do to him, everybody. I used to send a message over by ballboy and tell Terry, "Tonight is your night, son." And I used to always do that to him. I never held grudges, but I really wanted to get him back.
David Robinson Joins the Show
** [Hans Olsen says his first memory of the Dream Team was David's physique. He then begins expressing admiration for David's physique and asks, "Is your dad built like you? Is this genetic? Did you have a very strict eating policy?"]
DR: That's funny. You're right there with Karl, and Karl has the best body in the NBA and even now, he probably has a better body than anybody in the NBA. And you're asking me about my regime.
KM: I remember the first time I saw you. I was like, "Where did this guy come from? What the…" I must admit it. I said to myself, "Are you kidding me? I gotta do some more work here."
DR: I'll tell you where it came from. When I went to the Naval Academy, my first year I showed up there as a freshman. I was 6'7″, 172 lbs. And I remember I played my first year, the Washington Post wrote an article about me. The guy from the Washington Post said, "This Robinson kid looks like he has some promise, but at times he looks painfully frail…and he looks like a swizzle stick in a blender." So I cut that article out and I pasted that up on my wall and I said, "Man, nobody will ever call me a 'swizzle stick in a blender' again."
KM: When you see a tall guy that work out, you know it right away. It's no shame in my game, the first time I saw you, I'm like, "Are you kidding me? He four, five inches taller than me and how did he do that?" So I start trying to [ask] people, "Tell me what he do in the summertime." …
DR: I never really could gain weight. I went through couple summers, I tried to eat 7,000 calories a day, and I just physically could not eat that much food. I just don't have that kind of an appetite. But just working out, I knew I was 25, 30 lbs. smaller than every other center that I was playing against, so I had to be stronger and in better shape.*
*Is anyone else thinking of Jeremy Evans?! As a freshman David Robinson was about the same height as Evans but weighed 20 lbs. less!
** [David's favorite part of the Dream Team experience] It was spending time with the guys. Getting to know guys like Karl and John. Like Karl said, when you're playing against each other, you don't have a whole lot of love lost for one another. You're beating on each other all day long, and you're fighting for the same prize…so I got a chance to really get to know them. My boys were hanging out with John's kids, and that to me was the best, 'cause I saw these guys as men. I saw Karl in the weight room, working out like a maniac. I said, "OK, that's why this guy push me around like that." And so, that was the best part to me because now we have a lifelong friendship that was born just out of that experience and the opportunity to share the way we did.
** [What David remembers most about the games] The games were a bit of a blur, to be honest with you. We weren't really challenged at any point. I think they were almost a little bit anti-climactic, with those practices in between. That was the most fun. The thing that stuck out to me was being able to watch [opponents'] reactions at the beginning of the game, when they came up. They would be taking pictures, and wanting to hug us. And I was thinking, "What in the world…"
KM: David, you saying what I saying. We looked at each other and said, they beat already.
DR: [I was like,] are they trying to psych us out or something? What is going on?
** [Bill Riley to DR] You might want to hang up quick after you answer. Who's the greatest power forward of all time?
[The rest of this is just Karl and David laughing and talking over one another.]
KM [talking over DR]: David, David, Da–, just, David, David, just go and hang up please.
DR: You know what? Hey, Karl, hey, your career was phenomenal. Nobody, not even my man Tim [Duncan], will put up numbers like yours. You career was phenomenal. But hey, I gotta go with– (starts laughing)
KM: David, please, look, David, please don't say it. Please don't say it, David. Leave it alone.
DR: I'm just going to leave it at that…I'm just going to say, man, I would be crucified in this town and I would be crucified by my friends if I didn't stand my ground on this one.
KM: Don't say it. I understand, David.
Karl Talking Dream Team
** [The only sets of game-worn jerseys in the world from the 1992 and 1996 Dream Teams were collected by Kay Malone, and can be found at Karl Malone Toyota in Draper.]
KM: When she first start collecting them, I was like, "What the heck? You getting all of them sweaty uniforms?!" And I remember her looking at me and saying, "You know what, baby? One of these days, you gonna appreciate it" and I'm like, "No I won't."
And I remember when the Olympic was over with, we hadn't even washed them. You know what that smell like. They was ripe. I just remember when it was all over with, and I'm looking at all of them, that's when it hit me. It hit me then.
** On Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic torch in 1996: To see Muhammad Ali fight through [his Parkinson's] and light that torch, let me just tell you something. I know I'm a man but when I'm hurt, I cry. I'm sensitive. I cry when Free Willy jumped over the thing…when Muhammad Ali fought and took his other hand to light that torch, holding his other hand, I got goosebumps and I teared up a little bit because that was awesome to me.
** Closest friend on the Dream Team not named John Stockton: Well I always love and respect Charles [Barkley], so that was a given. But I would say the guy I really got to know that was just like I thought he was, was Scottie Pippen. I would have to say Scottie was the guy that I really became close with, and Chris Mullin.
** Gold medal ceremony: I did the corniest thing that I never thought I would do. The national anthem played, and you see every athlete–what do every athlete do with the gold medal? They bite on it. I'm sitting there saying to myself, "Gah, that is so dorky. You gonna bite on it and do what?" And then, all of a sudden, what do I do? I bit on it…So I just remember when I bit on it, I'm like, "Karl Malone, that it is the dorkiest thing you ever done."
** Olympic gold vs. other achievements: It's not even the same and it's not even close, but it's one of the few times of my life that I really felt that I was serving my country the best I could at the time. Now, it's not military. I'm not trying to paint that same picture. But far as the magnitude of the whole world–we're not just talking about Utah or that one year I played [redacted]–we talking about the whole world. Everybody was watching, and for that brief second, it just felt like we accomplished something for the whole United States of America.
Teresa Weatherspoon Joins the Show
** TW on whether athletes should get paid to play in the Olympics: I speak for myself…I don't need the green dollar bill to be paid to play the sport which I love and to play for my country. I disagree with that totally. I enjoyed people wanting me to represent my country, being one of the 12 best. That was pay enough. And once you get on that scene, it gives you the platform to do even more away from that platform, so therefore your pay come after playing in that United States of America uniform.

That was a great read, but the best part is the place where Karl played one year got [Redacted] from the article. Classic.

MONTREAL - Montreal bus drivers expressed shock and surprise that one of their vehicles rolled on its side during a spectacular accident Tuesday night that killed a veteran bus driver and a passenger in a BMW.
"They aren't very easy to turn over, this is only the second time I have heard of this in 27 years," a Montreal bus driver said Wednesday.
Sylvain Ferland, 49, was pinned under the bus after it rolled over following a violent collision with a BMW at an intersection with traffic lights in the industrial area of Dorval, just south of the airport.
The Quebec coroner's office identified the dead passenger as Janet Stoddard Snider, 61. A 33-year-old woman, who was driving the BMW, was in critical, but stable condition in hospital on Wednesday.
Montreal police have not yet confirmed which vehicle went through a red light. However, police said they have reason to believe that alcohol may have been a factor in the accident. They have asked the driver of the BMW to provide a blood sample, according to Constable Anie Lemieux.
Ferland's wife is also a bus driver with the Société de Transport de Montréal. A bus driver, who said she is friendly with Ferland's wife, said the couple live near Mercier, on the South Shore, and have four children. Ferland had been a bus driver for 23 years.
Accident reconstruction experts are trying to piece together how the crash happened. The accident occurred just before 6 p.m. at the intersection of 55th and Lindsay Aves.
Fourteen people were on the bus at the time of the accident and seven people suffered injuries. The 196 bus travels between the Côte Vertu metro station and Lachine.
The STM refused to allow The Gazette to speak to Ferland's colleagues who work out of a bus depot in LaSalle. "They are in mourning and need to be left alone," said STM spokesperson Marianne Rouette.
The STM is investigating the accident and will try to determine why the bus rolled over, Rouette said.
The bus involved in the accident is a low-floor model that came into service in 2001, Rouette said. All of the buses in the STM's fleet are low-floor buses. At rush hour, the STM has about 1,470 buses on the road each weekday.
A spokesperson for Nova Bus, which supplies the STM with its fleet of buses, said the company will participate in the police and STM investigations to find out what caused the bus to roll over on its side.
"This was a really, really sad event," said spokesperson Nadine Bernard, adding that the company has no idea why the bus rolled. "It doesn't happen very often."
The bus drivers' union said several employees were in shock on Wednesday after learning of the death of their colleague.
"We are sad for the family of the bus driver, but we also know that another person died in this accident," said union spokesperson Tom Mouhteros.
Several drivers arrived at the bus depot with flowers Wednesday morning and counsellors were on hand to talk to employees who required assistance, he said.

These days any full-size body-on-frame Chevy sedan is seen as a donk, box, or bubble waiting to happen. But what is one of these cars like outside of the world of candy paint and chrome thuddies?
BOF full-sizers like this 1992 Caprice aren't just cool customs and tight-suspension Impala SSs. You can still find them owned by skateboard-hating old people, wishing the world looked like the future they were promised decades ago.
Or at least that's what Regular Car Reviews says. He so eloquently describes the Caprice as living in a world of 'a penis petting zoo of 50- and 60-year-olds.'
Think he's wrong?

Celemony Melodyne Editor 4 is pitch/time shifting software that provides the ability to tune and rhythmically realign notes that don't quite make the cut, either in monophonic or polyphonic situations. It's also useful for time-stretching and tempo-shifting entire mixes, if such an effect is desired. The software is available in 32- and 64-bit usages.
With an adaptable single-window user interface, editing is intuitive, and is made even more flexible with the addition of ancillary browser and inspector windows. The audio is displayed in the form of "blobs" spaced out in time and representing the position and dynamics of individual notes. Simply move an audio note to a different pitch or a different position. Make notes longer or shorter, louder or softer. Conform notes to certain scale shapes or add new notes to source material, thereby creating melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic variations.
New to Celemony Melodyne Editor 4:
Celemony Melodyne Editor 4 - Key Features:
Celemony Melodyne Editor 4 - Applications :
Monophonic and Polyphonic Material:
In the case of monophonic audio material (solo voice, saxophone, bass guitar, etc.), and polyphonic audio material (piano, guitar, etc.), the following edits are possible:
Rhythmic and Complex Material:
In the case of rhythmic and complex material, separation is according to beats, so if several notes (for example click and snare) sound on the same beat, they are available for editing in the shape of a single Melodyne "blob". For such "blobs," the following editing possibilities exist:

Student or Learner
Hi! I'm new on this website and I have two questions to ask: 1. What is the meaning of 'hold (somebody) tight? 2. A friend of mine wrote on Facebook the sentence 'I'm listening Bruno Mars'. Is this correct? I think he should have written 'listening TO Bruno Mars', but somebody else made a comment and said his sentence was correct because it was used in the -ing form. Now I'm not sure. Could you please clarify my doubts? Thank you.
Welcome to the forums.
In the future, please don't combine unrelated questions in one post. Just start two threads.
1. To hug someone closely.
2. Your friend is mistaken. You are correct.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

See Who Made the 2012 Vanity Fair Best-Dressed List
Stella McCartney, Lauren Santo Domingo, and Jessica Chastain will be anointed as members of Vanity Fair's 73rd International Best-Dressed List when the magazine's September 2012 issue hits newsstands this week.
The list includes a number of people who work in fashion: McCartney is joined by Alice + Olivia's Stacey Bendet, Ulyana Sergeenko, Poppy Delevingne, Farida Khelfa, and Vionnet president Matteo Marzotto. Erika Bearman tweeted from @OscarPRGirl that her first time being included on the list made her feel "royal."
It's an honor for blood royals, too: For the third consecutive year, the list includes Kate Middleton, who will be featured on the September cover. Sheikha Mozah of Qatar, whose family just purchased Valentino, is included for the first time. The same goes for Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and Charlotte Casiraghi, who is fourth in line for the throne of Monaco (and star of Gucci Forever Now's Fall 2012 campaign).
A look at who else made this year's list, here in the gallery.

Sticky buns are a monumental treat at Laughing Dog in Grand Junction
Early morning bicyclists and hikers on the east end of the Colorado National Monument have something new to speed their descents down the snaky twists from Cold Shivers or Serpents Trail – sticky buns.
These have nothing to do with sweaty Spandex.
The sticky buns are the coveted treat at a new coffee house located in an old gift shop along Monument Road. The sticky buns at Laughing Dog Coffee House are deceptively light and airy given the fact that they are made with only whole-wheat flour. Olive oil fills in for shortening or butter in the dough that is flecked with flax, sesame and sunflower seeds. The topping is the traditional gooey, oozy mixture of butter, honey and walnuts.
The sticky buns are the creation of Laughing Dog co-owner Suzanne Diemer who swears she's never taken a baking class or a cooking course of any kind. She occasionally zips around the Laughing Dog kitchen in a Colorado Culinary Institute apron, but only because someone left it there.
Diemer came up with her raved-about sticky buns by making the dough from the same recipe she had used for years to create her whole-wheat bread at home. She took her formula for the topping from The Pioneer Woman show on the Food Network, but tweaked it with less boiling time to make it stickier.

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers summer stipends to write code for various open source software projects. Google Summer of Code 2010 went by quickly, and much was accomplished. The Perl Foundation and Parrot Foundation took part this year, and we were lucky to get proposals from very bright and capable students. We started the summer with 10 students and had 8 students pass their final evaluations. The passing projects include:
Ryan Jendoubi -- Ctypes for Perl Mentor: Reini Urban Blog: http://blogs.perl.org/users/doubi/ Repo: http://gitorious.org/perl-ctypes/perl-ctypes
This project is exciting many Perl developers, because it would minimize the need to use XS, which will make many more pure-Perl modules possible. This improves portability, becaue XS-based modules are notorious for being fragile across operating systems and compiler versions. This adds up to a whole lot of WIN.
Nat Tuck -- Hybrid Threads for Parrot Mentor: Andrew Whitworth Blog: http://parrot.org/blog/836 Repo: http://github.com/parrot/parrot/tree/gsoc_threads
Threads allow a single program to use more than one CPU, which is becoming increasingly important these days. Even mobile phones are multicore! This work aimed at adding threading support to Parrot Virtual Machine. Much was accomplished, but this effort is still on-going. So-called "green threads" were implemented, which is a necessary step to get Hybrid threads working.
Tyler Curtis -- A PAST Optimization Framework for Parrot Mentor: chromatic Blog: http://parrot.org/blog/839 Repo: http://github.com/ekiru/tree-optimization
This project is about providing a framework for optimizing PASTs (Parrot Abstract Syntax Trees). This will be used by language implementors when optimizing their HLLs (High Level Languages). This framework allows all languages on Parrot to benefit from optimizations that are written once, instead of each language implementor writing their own optimizations.
Daniel Arbelo Arrocha -- NFG and single-representation strings for Parrot Mentor: Allison Randal Blog: https://www.parrot.org/darbelo Repo: http://github.com/parrot/parrot/tree/gsoc_nfg
NFG stands for Normal Form Grapheme, and basically means having a standard internal representation of Unicode strings, so that very expensive conversions do not have to repeatedly take place. This makes string-heavy computations much faster and unifies a lot of code.
Carl Masak -- Add support for binary data in Rakudo Mentor: Jonathan Worthington Blog: http://use.perl.org/~masak/journal/ Repo: http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo
Rakudo Perl 6 now supports various binary data formats that were implemented as part of this project. Many relevant tests were also added to the Perl 6 Spec Test Suite as well as improvements and clarifications to the Perl 6 Specification.
Muhd Khairul Syamil Hashim -- Instrumentation Tool for Parrot Mentor: Christoph Otto Blog: http://www.parrot.org/blog/841 Repo: http://github.com/khairulsyamil/parrot-instrument
This instrumentation tool for Parrot allows one to dynamically peek into the execution of Parrot op-codes. This allows for writing profiling tools that can answer questions like "who calls functions X" and "how many Objects of type X were created."
John Harrison -- Improvements to NCI/LLVM Stack Frame Builder for Parrot Mentor: Peter Lobsinger Blog: http://www.parrot.org/ash Repo: http://github.com/ashgti/parrot
This project is a prerequisite for a JIT (Just In Time compilation) framework, which is an important goal for the Parrot community, since Parrot decided that our old JIT subsystem was broken beyond repair and removed it. Parrot has decided to use the very popular LLVM project in our rewrite of our JIT, and this project brings us a step closer on our journey.
Pawel Murias -- Mildew and SMOP on CPAN Mentor: Daniel Ruoso Repo: http://github.com/perl6/mu
This project involved working on Mildew and SMOP. Mildew is a Perl 6 implementation, and SMOP is the library Mildew uses for meta-object programming. You can think of Mildew as a sister to Rakudo Perl 6. Having many implemenations of Perl 6 helps to better define the Perl 6 specification. Updated versions of SMOP and Mildew are now available on CPAN.
The failing projects were:
Justin Hunter -- Rework Catalyst framework instance initialization code Mentor: Florian Ragwitz Mirko Westermeier -- Bulletproofing the Mojolicious test suite Mentor: Marcus Ramberg
Both of these projects passed their midterms, but due to circumstances outside of the program, these students were not able to complete their goals for their final evaluation. Sometimes Real Life throws you a curve ball, like starting a new job, moving to a new city, having a baby and similar things. We wish these students the best of luck, and hope that they complete their projects outside the structure of GSoC.
I am very proud and humbled by all the students and mentors that I worked with this year. I am constantly reminded that there are very intelligent developers that are very young, and The Perl Foundation and Parrot Foundation is very lucky to attract them and have them in our communities. I firmly believe that the passing GSoC 2010 projects have made a large positive impact on our codebases and many people will benefit from them for years to come.
Rock on and keep spreading the Open Source love!

Boulder City Showdown
(1) Help the NCR kill all the Great Khans up in the Boulder City ruins.
Important Items...[edit]
This is yet another side quest that's intimately intertwined with the game's main mission as chronicled in our gigantic Walkthrough . During the end of the main quest known as They Went That-a-Way, you'll have to travel over to a location known as Boulder City. Boulder City is located far to the east of Goodsprings. You'll have to head there from Novac (which is southwest of Boulder City) in order to finish your task off. When you arrive at Boulder City, you'll find that the town is extremely dilapidated, even more-so than many of the other towns, villages and settlements in the Mojave Wasteland. One of the only people you'll find that you can speak with is named Lieutenant Monroe. And as you speak to Monroe, you'll realize that he could really use your help. That's where this side quest comes into play.
Lieutenant Monroe needs you to head into the central ruins of Boulder City to help free a couple of NCR soldiers that have been taken hostage by the Great Khans occupying this city. As is usually the case, you'll have some choices here. There's a violent and straight-forward solution to this problem, or there's a more diplomatic and roundabout way to end this stand-off. Remembering of course that the Great Khans were responsible for nearly killing you in the unfortunate events that lead to you waking up at Doc Mitchell's in the beginning of the game, we chose to go the violent route. After all, the Great Khans have it coming, and killing them will only make the NCR respect you even more. Should you choose to take another route, please keep in mind that it won't be covered here.
There are only four or five Great Khan enemies in the ruins. Two or three of them are outside, and the other two are in the small hideout that the Great Khans have carved out for themselves. Since the outcome of this task is somewhat contingent on rescuing the NCR hostages here, your best bet (if you're neutral with the Great Khans, which you should be) is to walk up to where the hostages are being held, and rapidly free them. This will make the Great Khans turn on you immediately. While the hostages do their best to get away, pull out your gun-of-choice and take out the Great Khans. Your friends in the NCR will provide some adequate backup here. Once the enemies are all felled outside, head inside to the Great Khan's hideout, where two more enemies can be eliminated. Once everyone's dead, you're then free to head back to Boulder City proper, where Lieutenant Monroe, one way or the other, will thank you for a job well done.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
It is hard to believe nearly 25 years have passed since the theatrical release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Director Robert Zemeckis' irreverent, thoroughly entertaining mashup of traditional animation and classic Hollywood noir. At once a celebration and a satire of the Hollywood studio system, Who Framed Roger Rabbit floats on the imagination and talent of Zemeckis and producers Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall. Then CEO of Disney Michael Eisner passed the film to sister studio Touchstone, feeling the sexual innuendos and violence were too extreme for the Mouse House, and it became a critical and commercial success. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is silver-screen gold; a timeless reveling in the art of filmmaking and Hollywood allure.
Based on Gary K. Wolf's "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?," the film opens as a traditional animated cartoon but pulls back to reveal "toons" living and acting alongside humans in 1947 Hollywood. Private dick Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) agrees to spy on Jessica Rabbit (voiced by Kathleen Turner), wife of popular toon actor Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer), so Maroon Cartoon studio owner R. K. Maroon (Alan Tilvern) can manipulate his most famous actor. The day after Valiant shows Roger photos of Jessica and Acme Corporation owner Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye) playing "Pat-a-Cake," Acme is dead and Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) fingers Roger for murder. Roger appeals to Valiant for help, proclaiming innocence, but Valiant is slow to trust a toon after the murder of his brother in Toontown.
The live action/animation composition that drives Who Framed Roger Rabbit may not be as innovative as it was in 1988, but the film still looks pretty spectacular. There's much joy in seeing classic cartoon characters like Donald Duck, Betty Boop and Dumbo in frame with the human actors, and the effects required over a year of labor-intensive post-production work by animators and Industrial Light & Magic. Goofy Roger hops and skips around Valiant, shoots skyward after drinking whiskey and commands attention as the star of his own cartoon series, where he takes abuse like a punching bag. The film is filled with colorful, decidedly adult characters, like crass, cigar-puffing Baby Herman (voiced by Lou Hirsch), a 50-year-old toon who looks like a baby and torments Roger on set. Roger's bombshell wife Jessica slinks and shimmies on stage as a lounge singer, and the busty femme fatale is no traditional Disney heroine.
The film recalls the classic noirs of the 1940s and 1950s, and is stocked with boozy detectives, backstabbing dames and gun-toting baddies. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is enjoyable noir, complete with a city in peril undercurrent, and the animation only adds to the excitement. Toontown, the setting for most of the film, is like a giant warehouse of cartoon madness. All the TNT explosions, wacky characters and unseen rivalries are crammed into a few city blocks, and the town is far from a typical Disney paradise. Despite its PG rating, Who Framed Roger Rabbit isn't necessarily a family film; there's an edge to the material that makes it appealing to adult audiences over two decades later. Rumors of naughty frames and profanity deleted - much to the chagrin of cheeky animators - abound, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a Saturday morning special all grown up. The film is magical, maniacal joy, a 104-minute burst of filmmaking nostalgia and Hollywood merriment.
Disney continues to improve the quality of its catalog offerings - as I mentioned in my review for The Insider - and Who Framed Roger Rabbit receives a solid 1.85:1/1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that is blissfully free of any artificial tinkering intended to modernize the presentation. At first glance, it's clear the film isn't some slick digital production, and there are always going to be inherent weaknesses related to the animation/live-action blending. Who Framed Roger Rabbit looks like a film, with a pleasant grain pattern and deep texture, thanks to its VistaVision roots, which bolster its old Hollywood appearance. Colors are well saturated, and Zemeckis leaves most of the color pop for Toontown. Detail is generally impressive, and a definite step up from the previous Vista Series DVD. I'm glad Disney techs didn't DNR the hell out of the image. Sure, the cartoon edges might look a little rough, but avoiding this temptation saved the overall clarity of the image. I noticed no issues with compression artifacts or banding, though there's definitely a bit of black crush in nighttime scenes. Speaking of black levels, they tend to waiver just a bit toward purple, but the overall effect isn't terrible. I suspect this Blu-ray presentation is very much in line with what the film looked like in theaters.
The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix is not as immersive as those of today's blockbusters, but is a nice compliment to the authentic transfer. Dialogue is clear and free of hiss and clipping, and only rarely do chaotic, competing voices become intertwined in the front channel. The surrounds are not used as heartily as viewers may like, but still provide back-up for ambient and action effects. The LFE is decently active, too, and the score is supported with rich bass and good separation. That the mix feels less crisp than today's tracks is attributable to the '80s production, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit sounds as intended. A French 5.1 Dolby Digital track and a Russian 2.0 Dolby Digital track are also included, as are English SDH, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese subtitles.
This two-disc, 25th Anniversary edition of Who Framed Roger Rabbit includes the Blu-ray and a DVD. (Note that at the time of this review, some copies incorrectly include a full-frame DVD. A sticker on the cover includes contract information for Disney so buyers can request a replacement for the correct widescreen DVD if desired.) The discs are housed in an Elite Blu-ray case, which is wrapped in an attractive, embossed slipcover. Viewers may be disappointed in the lack of new bonus materials, but tons of good stuff from the Vista Series DVD is ported over, and some of it even gets an HD bump. Bonus materials are as follows:
To celebrate its 25th Anniversary, Who Framed Roger Rabbit arrives at long last on Blu-ray. This thoroughly entertaining blend of live action and animation is an irreverent send-up of Hollywood noir and classic studio cartoons. Director Robert Zemeckis creates a witty, timeless film treasure where Bob Hoskins stars as a burnt-out detective who helps animated Roger Rabbit when the toon is penned for murder. This new Blu-ray looks and sounds great, the extensive supplements from the previous DVD are included, and several animated shorts are given an HD upgrade. DVD Talk Collector Series.

Metal isn't what it used to be: it comes in little packages these days. Labelled black, noise, dark, thrash, death, ambient, doom, sludge and all variety of prefixes, the humble formula for the metal LP has been twisted and distorted beyond recognition. And one of the chief responsibilities for that change lies with Sunn O)))'s Southern Lord imprint, characteristically the most avant-garde and famous heavy label operating today. But one of the best bands on their current roster, Black Breath, are a beautiful, perfect throwback to when things were simpler.
Sentenced To Life is a reminder that sometimes, sticking to the formula sells records: Black Breath might lack the hooks of say, a Torche or a Baroness, or the smarts of Liturgy and Wolves in the Throne Room, but they're leaner, meaner, rawer, harder and vitally faster. This is a pure metal record, unadorned, without the merest attempt at genre splicing, experimentalism or intellectualising. It takes 37 minutes, approximately half the length of that avant-garde black metal limited edition vinyl LP you've just bought, and it reminds you that before the beard scratching, metal was about paralysing the audience through sheer hypnotic speed and technical prowess.
Only three of the tracks on here clock in at anything over four minutes: and nearly all of are sub three-minute packages and it's that sheer gleeful pace that makes Sentenced To Life such an enjoyable record. It's a remembrance of a time when all that metal was about was pure exuberant hedonism and barely controlled violence. The clichés don't even sound dated: the "GO!" that opens up 'Doomed', the one-word gang shout choruses on, oh, almost every track, the way one guitar wails high and fast over another before they switch lanes. There are breathtaking moments of precise control: 'Feast of the Damned' changes pace, lurches to a stop, cuts in, cuts out and generally exhausts the listener with twists and turns. And, in keeping with previous efforts, there are more riffs than you can reasonably shake a stick at.
As Noel Gardner wrote for this very site back in 2009, Black Breath often give the impression that they write riffs with the same consummate ease that most of us struggle to find to write Twitter updates. As such it should come as little surprise that they've come up with a twofer this time round. 'Endless Corpse' features not one but two contenders for riff of the year: a chugging, lumpen Thor's hammer of guitar doom juxtaposed with arpeggiated lightning speed thrash before dissolving back again into a cataclysmic, sludgey finale.
Best of all is the record's longest track, the imperious 'Obey'. Taking Black Breath's usual Lemmy-esque sense of pace and slowing it down a notch or two doesn't remove any of the punch, and as for the stars'n'stripes solo which sends lead guitar cascading throughout the final third, it sends shivers down spines and maybe even brings tears to eyes. If the true guitar solo is dying, it's at least taking someone else down with it.
Kurt Ballou's production once again deserves mention. The Converge man keeps a heavy dose of low end crunch to balance out the band's potentially trebly thrash, the bass thundering as twin guitars scrawl and dance over the top. The drums feel notably compact and powerful, with the vocals kept high enough in the mix to be decipherable, but low enough not to distract from the instrumental fireworks which are the true star of the show.
In the interests of form respecting subject, here feels like the time to curtail this review. Because it's that tightness which really makes Sentenced To Life such a successful record: it really doesn't do anything more or less than what was previously exhibited with the Razor to Oblivion EP and Heavy Breathing. But it does it at such breathtaking speed (have I got across just how fast this record is yet?) that it's intensity is made irresistible. A surefire contender for metal album of the year and certainly worthy of some crossover recognition, Sentenced To Life deserves some adulation purely for reminding us that metal doesn't need bells and whistles to be thrilling, even in 2012.

BOSTON | Tom Brady's missing Super Bowl jersey has been found in Mexico six weeks after it vanished from the Patriots' locker room — but the mystery isn't over.
The NFL said the jersey was found in "possession of a credentialed member of the international media," and authorities were investigating Monday whether a former Mexican tabloid newspaper executive played a role in the theft.
It wasn't the only piece of memorabilia recovered: Authorities found a Brady jersey that had gone missing after the Patriots' 2015 Super Bowl win over the Seattle Seahawks. A helmet belonging to a Denver Broncos player was also discovered, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
The missing jersey — and the subsequent investigation that stretched from Texas to Boston — captivated Patriots fans and social media for several days after the Patriots' 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.
"If it shows up on eBay or something, somebody let me know," Brady said after the game.
Houston police investigators relied on a tip from an informant to trace the jersey, estimated to be worth about $500,000, to Mexico.
U.S. and Mexican officials have not yet identified the suspect, but the name of a former newspaper director circulated widely in Mexican news media and on social networks. The newspaper's owner, Organizacion Editorial Mexicana, issued a statement saying the director had resigned from La Prensa on March 14 for "personal reasons." The company learned only Monday of his possible involvement in the Brady case, it said.
The paper said that if the accusations are true, it "strongly condemns" that the employee used his position "to obtain a media accreditation to be able to access the field of play, news conferences and probably other areas of NRG Stadium." It had not been contacted by investigators, the paper said.
A company official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that the former director was not part of the media outlet's Super Bowl coverage.
"He got accredited on behalf of La Prensa, but he took vacations. … He was not sent by us," the person said. "They were not even aware that (he) had gone to the Super Bowl."
The former director handed over his company cellphone when he resigned last Tuesday, the person said, and made no mention of the jersey case.
No arrests had been made as of late Monday. The Associated Press is not identifying the director because he has not been charged.
Brady, in a statement emailed to the AP from his agent, Don Yee, expressed gratitude to investigators but said he hadn't yet been reunited with the jerseys.
"I am happy my jerseys from SB 49 and SB 51 have been recovered, and I want to thank all of the law enforcement agencies involved," Brady said. "I know they worked hard on this case — and it is very much appreciated. Hopefully when I get the jerseys back I can make something very positive come from this experience."
Houston police Chief Art Acevedo proudly congratulated his team, but was equally quick to say finding the jersey wasn't a "top priority" in a city with violent crime. He described the theft as the only blemish on an otherwise successful Super Bowl.
"You don't come to Texas and embarrass us here on our home turf," Acevedo said.
A Patriots spokeswoman said the team had no comment.
The jerseys are in the possession of the NFL and FBI in Boston, and law enforcement was working to authenticate them, the chief said.
"We are highly confident that these are the jerseys," Acevedo said.

Use the right channels, the right tools, and leverage investments in mobility to communicate and collaborate effectively within your organization
We're buried in email — it's the simple truth. Many organizations and individuals default to email as the primary mode of communication, and it's seen as the "work" channel. You might use text messages, instant messaging, and social media in your personal life, but "work email" is a familiar phrase and is used to describe how we get things done in the office. But technology has moved far beyond this, and what we should be doing is efficiently utilizing the appropriate modes of communication within our professional lives to reach the desired outcome with the lowest amount of effort, server load, and time. Utilizing your organization's investment in mobility and collaboration technology can go a long way to solving this issue.
If I'm not watching my inbox like a hawk, I don't feel like I'm working. If I leave my inbox unsupervised for even a short amount of time during the day, I feel like I'm neglecting my responsibilities. The other day I heard it referred to as "watching your inbox closer than you watch your kids", and it hit home. The amount of time that we waste (yes, waste) checking, sending, and receiving email is astronomical. This doesn't just strain your personal efficiency; it can also have implications on your company's mail servers, particularly if you're a heavy user of large attachments such as presentations.
Speaking of using attachments, this is a particular aspect of the issue that I see time and time again – individuals and teams mistakenly using email as a tool for workflow: reviewing, approving, and firing attachments of different document versions all over the place. This is not what it was meant to be! There are a ton of fantastic alternatives for managing communications and workflow. Let's take a look at a few scenarios and solutions that can help to break apart how we communicate so that we can engage effectively.
Use the phone
Particularly with younger generations (of which I am a part), this is often not the go-to method of communication even concerning quick questions. Sending it in an email gives you the feeling that you can strike it off of your to-do list. But really, you can't – not until you get an answer. All it does is add to the clutter and open up the potential for it to get lost either on your plate or on the plate of the individual you're reaching out to. Mind you, hitting someone's voicemail isn't always the best thing either – and that's why I love BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System for allowing me to be reached at a single number whether I'm using my desk phone or BlackBerry smartphone.
Enterprise instant messaging
I've come to love this over the past few months. Many organizations have enterprise instant messaging implemented internally, and even better, hooked into an employee directory. Even if I've never met or spoken with an individual before, I'll often shoot over a quick IM if it's something that can be resolved with a "yes", "no", or simple response. This way, even if they're on a call, they can often multitask to give me what I need quickly, without leaving a trail of messages all over the place. These solutions often include file sharing or again, in the case of BlackBerry Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) solutions, you can one-click to start a call from an instant messaging conversation. Better yet, you can take your internal IM solution mobile on your BlackBerry smartphone by utilizing these solutions. Quick questions and quick answers follow me wherever I go, without causing pile-up in my inbox.
Centralize document storage and management
Instead of emailing documents as attachments, loading down mail servers, and running the risk of confusing versions, it's important to centralize document storage and management. Does your organization have a solution for this? Is it mobile-friendly, and feature-rich? Microsoft® SharePoint® is an example of one that fits the bill for many companies. With the BlackBerry Client for Microsoft SharePoint, you're able to download documents, open and edit them with Documents To Go®, and send them back up into SharePoint with full version control. The BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet browser is also a fantastic vehicle for accessing internal web apps, whether connected via Wi-Fi® or through BlackBerry® Bridge™ on your smartphone for true mobility.
BlackBerry Messenger for business
BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) isn't just for organizing weekend BBQs with friends; it's also a fantastic tool for mobile communication on work topics. Organizing colleagues and teams into BBM groups can help keep things clean in your contact list, and you can even send files and voice notes up to 6MB. If you don't have access to mobile enterprise instant messaging, this is a great way to get in touch with your coworkers quickly and efficiently. Knowing when someone has received and read your message allows you to operate and communicate confidently on this platform. We use it constantly here at RIM® (I'd hope so!) and I've certainly felt the benefits of having quick and simplified access to everyone on my team.
Third party apps
There are a ton of collaboration and communication apps available in the BlackBerry App World™ storefront, including cross-platform apps. Figure out what works best for your particular style of work, and based on the pain points in your current communication structure, and go wild trying some of these out. Cloud storage solutions are great examples of available apps that can help make your life easier at work, especially for small businesses.
Bonus: Easy scheduling across organizations, and one-click conference calls
Worth mentioning in this type of post are Tungle.me and BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing. Tungle allows you to share your availability, and view the basic availability of others, regardless of what platform you're using and whether or not you're in the same organization. This is great for sales teams in particular who are working to set up appointments with external contacts. With BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing, you can save multiple conference profiles on your BlackBerry smartphone and never worry about adding in your conference details to an invite, or having to input them by hand when you're an attendee. Just hit "Join Now" and you're off!
The point is that there are so many more modes of communication available outside of email. Email should be used effectively and certainly holds a foundational purpose in our collaboration, but the myriad of available apps, instant messaging solutions, document management, and workflow tools shouldn't be ignored. I'm willing to bet that you could shave off hours from your workweek by engaging in thoughtful and efficient communication in your workplace.

What does it mean to be CCO-certified?
All certified crane operators are not necessarily CCO-certified. Only NCCCO can provide the widely adopted and recognized CCO certification. While there are other companies that seek to certify crane operators, only one organization—the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO)—provides CCO certification. For nearly 25 years, successful completion of the CCO certification requirements has informed the world that a crane operator is certified to the high standards of NCCCO. Both "NCCCO" and "CCO" are federally registered trademarks owned by NCCCO and used in connection with education testing and certification.
NCCCO certification programs are specifically built around the ASME/ANSI B30 crane standards and OSHA's crane regulations. OSHA has officially recognized NCCCO programs as meeting its requirements for crane operator qualification and will accept CCO certification as proof of training. The presence of CCO-certified professionals on site also positions employers well to qualify for OSHA's "focused inspection."
CCO programs are industry-driven programs, with those working in and around equipment playing a central role; other stakeholders such as owners, manufacturers, operating engineers, and related trades have also participated in developing these programs. Subject matter experts who volunteer their time and expertise for the development and maintenance of CCO programs come from construction, steel erection, petrochemicals, energy, and general industry backgrounds, as well as training, manufacturing, insurance, OSHA, and the IUOE.
Subject matter experts from all sectors of the industry determine what skills are required for each certification designation to perform their duties safely. Comprehensive reviews of the work performed by various types of operators, signalpersons, riggers, crane inspectors, and lift directors (i.e., "job analyses") are conducted, and the results validated by several hundred experts across the country. Examination questions are all based on the specific knowledge that those in the field considered critical to safe operation. To ensure fairness and reliability, professional standards of test development have been developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). CCO written and practical examinations are accredited by ANSI.
NCCCO was initially developed in 1995 as a voluntary certification program. Since then, several states and cities initiated their own credentialing requirements that adopt CCO certification. However, in 2010, Federal OSHA published new construction regulations requiring crane operator certification/qualification nationwide. This deadline for crane operators to be certified was subsequently extended several times until it finally took effect on November 10, 2018. Although the rule does provide options, third-party certification, such as that provided by NCCCO, is likely to be the most cost-effective and accessible method used to meet the new requirements. Additionally, many employers had already made CCO certification mandatory for employment.
Because of the sound methodology employed at all stages of program development, employers can be assured that individuals carrying CCO certification cards have demonstrated they possess the necessary fundamental knowledge and skills, without relying on subjective recommendations or judgment.In turn, those who earn the distinction of the CCO credential can take satisfaction that their skills have been recognized by an independent, accredited, professional authority.
Licensing by itself does not necessarily ensure an individual possesses necessary skills and knowledge. Some state and city programs do not any testing, for example. CCO certification functions as a positive supplement to current licensing programs and is increasingly being adopted or recognized by others, either in place of or as a prerequisite to obtaining a license. All states that have developed licensing programs since NCCCO was established have adopted or recognized CCO certification.
Yes, CCO certification can be withdrawn, upon direction of the Ethics and Discipline Committee, for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
Certification period exceeded without renewal.
Falsification by candidate of any information on documents submitted to NCCCO or its agent.
Evidence of non-compliance with NCCCO's substance abuse policy.
Evidence of culpability in an accident during the certification period.
Evidence of non-compliance with the Code of Ethics.

What could be more joyful and glorious than creating something worthwhile and good, turning randomness and chaos into a thing of beauty?
Editor's note: "The Spoken Word" is shared by Lloyd Newell each Sunday during the weekly Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast.
Do you consider yourself a creative person? Whether or not we know how to paint, decorate or compose music, in a sense we are all creators. We create our own future, day by day. Our life is our creation, and we make the kind of life we want. That doesn't mean we can control every detail — we all face circumstances we would never choose — but if our minds and hearts are open, we will be given opportunities to step up to the challenges we face and make something of ourselves.
"God left a world unfinished for (men and women) to work (their) skill upon," an insightful writer once observed. "He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gave to (us) the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He left the problems unsolved and the pictures unpainted and the music unsung that (we) might know the joys and glories of creation" (attributed to Alan Stockdale; see Sterling W. Sill in Conference Report, April 1960, page 70).
What could be more joyful and glorious than creating something worthwhile and good, turning randomness and chaos into a thing of beauty? That's what we can do with the small portion of time we have been given — we can help create a better world and a better future. In fact, this is our common creation; we all share in the task of fashioning a better future.
It certainly isn't easy, but effective creators take responsibility and work hard to make things happen. They try to remain positive even in the face of difficulty and discouragement. They see opportunities where others see problems. The poet Carl Sandberg described such a mindset when he spoke of the future as "the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning creative hand of God. I see great days ahead," he declared, "great days possible to men and women of will and vision." (see "Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations," edited by Suzy Platt (1993)).
With that approach to the world, almost anything is possible. We need only to put our mind and heart to the artistic work of creating our lives.

Dodgers lose challenge on call at home plate
Mattingly asks for review after Ellis ruled out on tag play in seventh
Ken Gurnick is a reporter for MLB.com.
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers manager Don Mattingly lost a replay challenge on a play at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday.
Plate umpire Joe West called A.J. Ellis out at home trying to score from second on a bases-loaded pinch-single by Andre Ethier, batting for Justin Turner. Right fielder Hunter Pence made the throw and catcher Buster Posey the tag.
Mattingly asked West for a review, and the call was confirmed, ending the inning with the Giants leading, 7-2, which ended up the final score.
"If I score there, it might have led to a big inning," said Ellis.
The review was Mattingly's first challenge this year under the expanded replay system.

Everyone has heard about Tempur-Pedic mattresses. The famous Tempur-Pedic mattress is known for its design in the way that it curves and shapes around the sleeper's body. Tempur Cloud Mattress Sale in Fourways the brand carries different models and designs for different preferences. A lot of research has been put into these mattresses to ensure the quality and effectiveness of a great mattress. Because of the advanced research and design of the mattress, Tempurpedic Breeze Mattress Price the pricing on them can be much higher than most people expect to pay for a mattress. The key to being able to afford a Tempur-Pedic mattress is to look for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale.
Sales allow consumers to purchase these mattresses for lower than retail prices. This also makes it so people that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it can afford a mattress that is comfortable and state of the art. The first step I would take in looking for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale is by collecting store ads as they come in the mail. Furniture and mattress stores often mail out flyers and catalogues of their store items and display current or upcoming sales. These catalogues can prepare you to know about the sale and to also price shop based on the different store ads you receive.
A Review of the Tempurpedic Mattress
The first step in finding the most comfortable price for you for your mattress is by visiting a store and ensuring this is the mattress for you. You should also see which of the types of Tempur-Pedic mattresses you prefer, as well if you are interested in any of the extras they offer. Once you have decided to purchase this mattress, you should be prepared to wait for the best sale to come around. Do you research online, Queen Size Tempurpedic Mattress Set and then purchase the newspapers with the stores ads in them. Do some comparisons and when the best deal comes around – be sure to jump on it.
Tempur Cloud Mattress Sale in Fourways ?
When you think that you might want a new mattress for your bed you should first ask yourself if you really need a new mattress. To determine this, you should determine if your sleep is being interrupted constantly and the body aches that your body experience each time that you arise in the morning then you may very well need a new mattress.
The newest types of mattresses on the market and are very popular are the mattresses that are made from memory foam. There are numerous websites on the Internet that offer the Tempurpedic mattress. These mattresses are the best known of all of the mattresses that are made from memory foam that are currently available.
Don't forget that you will spend about 30 percent of your life on the Tempurpedic mattress that you choose so you should be assured that it will provide you with the comfort and support that you require. If you remember all of this while you are searching at the numerous Tempurpedic mattress review articles in both newspapers, magazines and on the Internet, you should make a much more informed selection of which mattress is the best one for you.
How To Get A Cheap Tempurpedic Mattress
Tempurpedic Mattresses are considered the top of the line memory foam mattresses anywhere. Unfortunately, the prices of tempurpedic mattress aren't considered cheap and many people can't afford a tempurpedic mattress
It used to be each distributor and dealer of tempurpedic products set their own retail price and if you shopped around hard enough, you may find one that sells relatively cheap or at a discount.
However recently, Tempur-Pedic decided to change its policy. All tempurpedic mattress will be sold at the same retail prices so now it is really pointless to search around for the cheapest tempurpedic mattress.
The reason for this is that Tempur-Pedic wants to assure their customers that no matter where you get their products, it is always the same price and quality. That means no extra benefits added by the dealers such as free shipping, extra pillow, extra tempurpedic mattress topper etc to entice customers to buy. The same rules applies for all dealers.
The other alternative to buy other memory foam mattresses instead. Though I still prefer tempurpedic mattress, there are some people who cannot afford the prices.
Now, there are about a dozen different types of memory foam mattress sold, probably a lot more than I can count. So how do I get it that is cheap and comparable to tempurpedic mattress?
The only way to know is to test and that means paying a visit to your local retail store and trying it out first before buying. The most important thing is you feel comfortable and make sure there is a free trial or a back money guarantee so that you can always return it if you feel the memory foam mattress does not suit you.

From Chris Butler (Coraline) and Sam Fell (The Tale of Despereaux) comes the story of Norman, a mysterious and misunderstood boy with the ability to see and talk to ghosts.

It also gives us a good look at some other characters in the film and the famous voices associated with them. While the previous trailer did a good job of piquing my interest, the new one actually made me look forward to the summer release. It hits on all the right notes of comedy and charisma.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster. The film features the voices of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Casey Affleck, Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, and Alex Borstein. ParaNorman opens in 3D on August 17th.
