My Name is Nobody: 40th Anniversary Edition (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits another film that close out the spaghetti western phenomenon...
Young, ambitious gunman Nobody (Terence Hill) sets his eye on his idol, gunslinger Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda), who's intent on sailing off into retirement. Deciding his hero should go out with guns blazing, Nobody sets him up for a showdown with a pack of the deadliest bad guys in the West – The Wild Bunch. (From Image Entertainment's official synopsis)
Like most cinematic fads, Italy's spaghetti western movement eventually burned itself out. What began as a direct imitation of classic Hollywood formulas blossomed into a purely Italian artistic endeavor, brimming with political subtexts and dynamic imagery. As the golden era of the 1960s passed, the spaghettis turned to comedy and subversion. Besides the occasional brush with 'old school' greatness (Sergio Corbucci's Companeros, Enzo G. Castellari's Keoma), and the post- Once Upon a Time in the West Italian brand of western that was largely dominated by Terrence Hill (aka: Mario Girotti) and Bud Spencer (Carlo Pedersoli). These two real life friends were first paired in more serious spaghettis, specifically Giuseppe Colizzi's loose trilogy of God Forgives…I Don't (1967), Ace High (aka: I Quattro dell'Ave Maria – which loosely translates to 'The Four Hail Marys' (1968), and Boot Hill (1969). These movies made enough money, but didn't have much personality of their own (at the risk of alienating fans, I find them pretty boring). Hill & Spencer's chemistry endured, though, and they were paired again in Enzo Barboni's (aka: E.B. Clucher) They Call Me Trinity (1971) – a parody of the genre's stale repetition. It was enormously popular and led to an even more popular sequel, Trinity is Still My Name, a year later. Hill & Spencer would be paired eleven more times after the Trinity movies, but never in a western setting.
In the years following his rise to prominence, Sergio Leone was a vocal critic of the the genre's political and satirical leanings. After all, he was one of the chief architects of the entire movement. At the same time, he was trying to escape typecasting as a director. Following the worldwide success of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, he was lured back to the genre by a Hollywood studio and made Once Upon a Time in the West, which is, for most intents and purposes, his final word on the subject – not to mention the grandest film to carry the spaghetti western label. Following Once Upon a Time in the West, Leone began the arduous, sixteen-year process of bringing Harry Goldberg's novel, The Hoods, to the big screen under the title Once Upon a Time in America. In the decade that followed, the maestro kept busy making post-post modern westerns in a production capacity. The first of these was Giù la testa (1971), which was retitled Duck, You Sucker! on Leone's insistence that it was a common American colloquialism (for the benefit of non-American readers, I can assure you it isn't). Following a series of 'artistic differences' with its intended director, Peter Bogdanovich, Leone took over directing duties.
Duck, You Sucker! is easily Leone's most underrated and, at the same time, messiest film, but it's important in the context of this particular review because it was made in reaction to the left-wing, revisionist westerns of Corbucci, Sergio Donati, Sergio Sollima, and Damiano Damiani – a sub-subgenre known as the Zapata westerns, named for Emiliano Zapata, the famed Mexican Revolution general that stood alongside Pancho Villa and Pascual Orozco. Leone's film is a thinly veiled criticism of the films that reframed the Mexican Revolution as a stand-in for (then) modern socialist politics. Leone had grown cynical and stated plainly that Duck, You Sucker! was about 'the lie of the revolution.' The film begins sardonically, much funnier than Barboni's crude Trinity movies, but then slowly delves into utterly bleak misanthropy that burns for days. Trinity is Still My Name was released a week before Leone's film and Italian audiences preferred the light-hearted, boorish laughs that Hill & Spencer afforded them (though Duck, You Sucker! didn't bomb on the same level as Once Upon a Time in the West). Meanwhile, US distributor Paramount was disappointed with the returns. They cut Duck, You Sucker! to ribbons and re-released it under the title Fistful of Dynamite in hopes of cashing in on the popularity of Fistful of Dollars. Frustrated by the continuing success of slapstick westerns, Leone teamed-up with undervalued spaghetti director Tonino Valerii to make the ne plus ultra of referential western parodies. Instead of rejecting the competition, Leone and Valerii embraced it by hiring Hill to effectively recreate his Trinity character, then they titled their movie My Name is Nobody – an obvious dig at Barboni's film.
In his exhaustive spaghetti western database, 10,000 Ways to Die, Alex Cox (director of Repo Man, Sid & Nancy, and Walker) refers to My Name is Nobody as 'an attempt to reconcile at least four different types of westerns: the classic, American western, personified by (Henry) Fonda; the modern, revisionist American western, in the many references to Sam Peckinpah and The Wild Bunch; the spaghetti alla Leone, with its soaring (Ennio) Morricone scores and classic showdowns; and the spaghetti alla Barboni, with (Terence) Hill and baked beans and cute/funny jokes.' (Valerii/Leone also take several pages from George Roy Hill's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kind, including the relentless, faceless horde of enemies and the use of sepia stills). The results of this referential pastiche are weird – weirder even than the already erratic Duck, You Sucker!. The pervading issue is that Once Upon a Time in the West already put a cap on the Italian brand of revisionist western, a process that included the use of Henry Fonda as a representative of the old guard. It ends with The Man with No Name (personified by Charles Bronson instead of Clint Eastwood) fulfilling his vengeance by murdering the classic western villain. He then disappears into the sunset as the Transcontinental Railroad is busily constructed, signifying the true death of the Wild West. My Name is Nobody might've worked perfectly as a Trinity-flavoured spoof of Peckinpah and Arthur Penn's American revisionist westerns, but Leone's temptation to revisit the end of the era seems particularly superfluous following the conceptual and technical perfection of Once Upon a Time in the West.
Contrary to some critical accounts, it's possible to tell the difference between many of Valerii and Leone's scenes and, as author/spaghetti western expert Howard Hughes notes in Once Upon a Time in the Italian West, the two filmmakers styles don't always compliment each other. Coupled with the use of dual cinematographers –Giuseppe Ruzzolini in Italy & Spain with Valerii and Armando Nannuzzi in the US with Leone – My Name is Nobody becomes patchy on a visual level as well as a storytelling level. It would probably be pretty simple to cut two short films from the final feature – one slapstick comedy, one mournful obituary to the genre (it should be noted that, unlike Duck, You Sucker!, My Name is Nobody wasn't heavily re-edited when released stateside). On the other hand, the erratic filmmaking kind of fits the material, almost as if Valerii/Leone are making a pointed statement on the fact that these various conventional subversions can't really play together in the same sandbox without getting dirty. More importantly, when taken as the sum of these disparate parts, it is a truly wonderful motion picture experience.
Leone's 'scent' does permeate throughout the fabric of My Name is Nobody. There are ongoing arguments as to exactly how much of the film belongs to each filmmaker, but we know for certain that Leone directed all of the 'second unit' footage that was shot stateside. This could cover almost an hour of the total runtime, but ignoring Valerii's contributions is selling him short. Before My Name is Nobody, he had already directed a handful of westerns, including Per il Gusto di Uccidere (aka: A Taste For Killing, 1966), Day of Anger (1967), The Price of Power (1968), and A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die (1972). He also briefly jumped on the spaghetti-paralleling giallo wagon, when he made a middling thriller called My Dear Killer (1972). Day of Anger was an early attempt to cash-in on Lee Van Cleef's post- For a Few Dollars More popularity and casts the actor in his usual role as a lawman/bounty hunter that acts as a mentor to a younger, less experienced gunfighter. It is pretty easily confused with Giulio Petroni's superior Death Rides a Horse (which was released the same year), but stands out with some truly fantastic stunt sequences. A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die is a more Hollywoodized production – an epic Civil War version of Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen (a very common template for Italian action/adventure films in the late '60s/early '70s), starring Bud Spencer (sans Terrence Hill), Telly Savalas (fresh off of Eugenio Martín's Pancho Villa), and James Coburn (fresh off of Duck, You Sucker!). It's kind of an overly somber, slow moving film, but definitely feels like a practice run for something as ambitious as My Name is Nobody.
The film opens in a particularly Leone fashion, thrusting us into a dialogue-free, deceptively mundane situation we don't understand. The silence is shattered via the typical spaghetti quick draw action, but Valerii/Leone change the context by interjecting operatic slow motion into their violence, marking their first and most obvious attempt at paying homage to Peckinpah's work. After years of watching the instantaneous murders of Leon's films, the sudden slowdown is breathtaking. From here, the violence is more commonly fodder for jokes, though always with reverence towards the supernatural powers gunfighters seem to possess in these types of movies. The gunslinging is most successfully satirized when Nobody and Beauregard take on Wild Bunch thugs in a carnival setting, using appropriately-themed props. Here, the time-honoured western standoff degenerates into a collection of Looney Tunes gags, the best of which take place in a horror-themed funhouse, complete with distorted mirrors and floor panels that trigger pop-up ghosts. Other jokes aren't as clever or unique. The closer Valerii/Leone get to Trinity, the less funny their movie is. Hill's awestruck fanboy shtick is charming (not to mention even more relevant in this day and age of geek culture normalcy and Twitter/convention interactions with celebrities) and the glib, situational bits are funnier than either of the Trinity movies, but the dopey physical comedy grows tedious. While Hill wastes time with his Bugs Bunny-styled solo antics, Fonda's unflappable performance holds the film together on a dramatic level, crafting a genuinely moving portrayal of a bygone era with seemingly zero effort expended. Of course, the ultimate gunslinger joke is saved for last – Nobody and Beauregard's stage their final showdown before the largest audience they can find and slyly time it to coincide with a photograph commemorating the event (in widescreen, naturally). It might be the most metatextual quip in any spaghetti ever – a very tall order indeed.
Note: The box art lists the runtime as 115 minutes, which seems short of the original, international runtime of 117 minutes. The titles do end at about 115 minutes, but the music runs through a black screen for 116 minutes and 27 seconds.
I hadn't seen My Name is Nobody for quite some time before sitting down with Image Entertainment's new Blu-ray. I'm relatively sure that the last time I did, it was a pan & scan VHS tape, so the 1080p image upgrade here may be more impressive to my eyes than those that have owned Image's previous DVD release (or Paramount's PAL German release, which was, apparently, the best version to own in days past). This disc is framed in 2.35:1, slightly re-cropped from the original 2.33:1 aspect ratio, though you wouldn't know that unless you were told, because there are no obvious issues with miscropping. Image doesn't have the facilities of MGM or Paramount, which is fine by me, because it means this transfer hasn't been over-sharpened or graced with excessive DNR enhancement. The lack of digital tinkering does lead to more print damage artefacts than many collectors may have come to expect from the format, but the flutter of white flecks and scanning lines aren't too distracting. The only real problems in terms of damage are a handful of tears and dirty splices. The grain appears mostly natural, but there is a sheen of digital noise that more or less matches the telecine damaged transfers Blue Underground was handed for some of their Italian-born releases. Detail quality and clarity comes and goes throughout the film's runtime, often coinciding with process shots or speed ramping. Most shots are sharp, though, especially the close-ups, like the ones that expose every crag and hair on Fonda's face. In keeping Leone's and Valerii's other westerns, My Name is Nobody isn't a particularly colourful film. There's a whole lot of dusty browns and yellows that are only occasionally punched up with greens, blues, or purples. The carnival sets offer the most hue variety, but even these are pretty limited. The film was supposedly printed using the Technicolor process, which gives the restricted palette plenty of vibrancy and tight element separation. In a perfect world someone would remaster this footage further to create slightly more dynamic contrasts.
Thankfully, Image didn't waste time and money remixing My Name is Nobody's mono soundtrack into 5.1, saving our ears from a The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly-style monstrosity (it's probably that a remix wasn't in their budget, but I thank them anyway). This Blu-ray's lossless, DTS-HD Master Audio (48 kHz/24-bit) version of the soundtrack is presented in 2.0 mono. The minimal source sound effects are crisp, clean and well-separated with no notable distortion on higher volume levels. Despite the lack of a discrete LFE channel, gunshots, trampling horses, and chugging train engines are plenty bassy. The dialogue is a mixed bag, divided between original English language performances and awkwardly dubbed Italian (Spanish?) performances. The words are normalized in terms of volume, but their clarity and organic qualities are all over the place. The key reason to celebrate this track is the same reason to celebrate most lossless spaghetti western tracks – the music. In this case, the most celebratory of all film music – Ennio Morricone music. Morricone was in on the joke as well and takes plenty of chances to poke fun at his previous spaghetti western soundtracks, repeating melodies in different keys and recalling aural motifs, like For a Few Dollars More's ticking clock. The music sounds perfect here. The instrumentations are complex and busy, creating a deep field even in the cramped, single-channel track. Some tracks are a bit warmer than others, but none are so tinny that they'll make you're ears ring at high volume levels.
This Blu-ray has quite literally nothing in the way of special features, which is too bad, because the Universal's French DVD release had a director's commentary, an alternate ending, a documentary, and filmmaker interviews.
My Name is Nobody remains a problematic film, but is an entertaining and interesting mess that grows more fascinating the more the viewer knows about the western films. I'm relatively sure that novice viewers will still get plenty of entertainment value out of the film, while aficionados of the genre will get an extra layer of gratification from the experience – even those, like me, that aren't particularly fond of the Trinity movies. Image Entertainment hasn't taken a full-bore approach to digitally remastering the film for this HD presentation, but the results are true to the source and certainly more impressive than any previous home video release. The audio presentation is tops, however, which mostly makes up for the utter lack of special features.

G.Skill F3-12800CL8T-6GBHK Review
With the release of i7 processors, DDR3's popularity greatly increased. Also, due to the triple channel nature of the CPU architecture, memory has been bundled in groups of three. The average speed of memory targeting the i7 is generally 1600MHz, with value memory at 1333MHz and performance memory above 1866+MHz. Intel suggests a maximum of 1.65V for operation with JEDEC voltage at 1.5. Most kits are using intricately designed heat spreaders nowadays since DDR3 runs fairly cool. Being reviewed today is a triplet of blue and silver memory from GSkill that operates at 1600Mhz with tight 8-8-8-21 timings at 1.6V. These modules are labeled F3-12800CL8T-6GBHK. They should provide great performance at 1600MHz and will most likely overclock well since there is some head room on the voltage and timings. This 6GB of memory also comes in handy with 64-bit operating systems!
Closer Look:
Opening the shipping box, mixed in with the packing peanuts, I find a petite little clamshell package with some beautiful blue and silver GSkill memory. The insert is dark and smoky with a beam of white across the top on both sides. The red Gskill logo is present in the top right corner of both sides as well, with the rated memory settings visible directly on the memory with their stickers. The front itself only states that these are for Intel i7 systems. Rotating to the back, a paragraph summarizes the qualities of the memory inside, as well as the company that created them. Near the bottom is a white box with detailed information similar to what is found on the memory stickers, along with contact information for GSkill, and RoHS compliance badge.
The memory has a deep blue radiance to it, the silver parts are lines that reflect light and color well while scrambling images. The sticker noting the memory speed, timings, and other information is an off-white or grayish color. The heat spreader design is almost entirely cosmetic, but will still dissipate some heat. The green PCB is considered outdated to some, but personally I think it looks good. The other side is entirely the same, minus the sticker and the notch being shifted.
The GSkill sticks have a small footprint with their basic heat spreaders. The design looks great and these modules likely run very cool at their rated speed of 1600MHz, and thus they do not require larger heat spreaders to dissipate heat. This kit is definitely flashy thanks to the reflective silver and glowing anodized blue heat spreaders.
These sticks of memory are thin enough to fit side by side on motherboards, while some memory cannot due to larger heat spreaders. The top is clean and rounded. The heat spreaders are attached with thermal tape, snapped together at the top and raised along the silver design. The PCB layers are fairly visible with a keen eye.
With the GSkill memory examined, let's get a good look at their features and then see how they overclock!

EC945, Reviewed October 1993
Every cooperative, small or large, will bring in new members at one time or another. The cooperative needs to orient these new members to the goals and nature of the cooperative, and their rights and responsibilities as members. Equally important, the cooperative needs to solicit from the new members their interests, purposes, needs and special skills. Orientation is a process of two-way communication.
Orientation should be seen as part of a continuous education process. The education process begins when a person first hears about the cooperative, and it continues for as long as the person is a member. A vital education process lays the basis for continued member loyalty and participation.
Many cooperatives, particularly larger cooperatives with a steady influx of new members, develop a formal orientation session as a tool for the process. If your cooperative does not use an orientation session, you still must provide orientation to new members.
There are many sides to the relationship between the member and the cooperative. The member patronizes the business, is a part-owner of the business, participates in governing the cooperative, and becomes part of a network of social relationships. In pre-order cooperatives and most retail stores, the member may also participate in the operations as a "volunteer" or working member.
Some of these are formal requirements, for instance paying a membership fee and becoming an owner of the cooperative. However, for the most part, the member decides how much to patronize the business, how much to participate in membership meetings, whether to run for the board, how much effort to put into working in the cooperative, and generally how "cooperative" he or she will be. A cooperative in which none of the members do anything more than what is required of them will soon fail. A cooperative in which only a few of the members are doing more than what is formally required will soon "burn out" the active members. Therefore, it is critical to orient new members to what the cooperative expects beyond the formal requirements for membership.
On the other hand, telling a new member what is expected will only make sense if the cooperative provides a good enough service to make the expenditure of time and effort worthwhile to the member. This guide sheet deals mainly with techniques for orientation. However, a good orientation requires more than techniques; it presupposes a good cooperative.
New member orientation requires planning as much as any other aspect of your cooperative. Before the cooperative can even begin to select a technique, it must first ask
Since the relationship of the member to the cooperative is many-sided, new member orientation will be multi-purpose. Following are some of the purposes that you may want to accomplish in orientation:
Each cooperative can choose priorities from this set of purposes, as well as add new ones. For instance, the members of a given cooperative may feel that orientation should include an explanation of how to use certain foods or education about the food distribution system. It is important, however, to realize that there may be trade-offs.
When your purposes are clear, you will be able to consider technique. If your cooperative does not have many new members, you may feel that formal orientation sessions are not practical for you. Here are a few ideas for a smaller cooperative without orientation sessions:
If your cooperative has a steady influx of new members, you will probably want to establish formal orientation sessions. Some cooperatives have a "voluntary" orientation session and try to create incentives that will attract new members to the session. Others require that all new members go to an orientation session. Even if the orientation session is required, the cooperative should think of what incentives it can offer for attending. Otherwise, the cooperative may find that some members never attend the session and never come back to the cooperative. The best incentive is an attractive pre-order or store, combined with a short and lively presentation.
Whether your cooperative uses orientation session, alternative techniques or a combination of the two, you should be able to answer these questions:
If you have decided that orientation sessions will fit your purposes, you next have to answer
The answer to the first question will depend on what kind of influx of new members you expect. If it is a steady stream of new members, you will be best off establishing a regular schedule of sessions and adding extra sessions if there is a sudden unexpected demand for them. Schedule them at times and locations that are convenient for new members, and above all, be sure that the information about time and place is accurate and well-publicized. Announce a beginning time and ending time, and stick to them.
The orientation session should convey that the cooperative is an attractive and friendly place. Be concerned for a good atmosphere; consider how to make the session a social experience. This requires limiting the number of participants and choosing an orientator who is personable. It also requires a well-planned presentation that highlights the essential points but does not bog down or try to present too much material.
You can supplement the presentation with handouts that repeat the central points and add any important information that is too detailed for presentation in the session. These might include:
Some cooperatives use a series of presenters (a staff member, a board member, etc.) in one meeting or rely extensively on audio-visual presentation. However, most orientation sessions depend heavily on one orientator. In this case, it is particularly important to choose the orientators carefully and to provide them with training.
Finally, you should expect to continually improve your orientation sessions. To help with this and to give feedback to the orientators, hand out a short evaluation form at the end of the session. You can ask for spoken comments and suggestions as well, but an anonymous evaluation form with a few well-chosen questions works best for getting a broad range of responses from all the participants.

Infosys profit down on visa investigation
MUMBAI, India (AP) — Indian IT outsourcing giant Infosys posted a fall in quarterly profit Friday after setting aside funds for a visa-abuse investigation in the United States. Still, the company upgraded its revenue forecast for the year, pleasing investors.
Shares in Infosys rose 4 percent in Mumbai after the company raised the low end of its revenue growth forecast to 9 to 10 percent for the fiscal year ending March 2014, up from 6 to 10 percent.
Infosys said profit for the July-September quarter dropped 11.1 percent from the previous year to $383 million.
Part of that fall was due to $35 million set aside for the possible resolution of an ongoing dispute with U.S. authorities over whether it misused temporary visas to bring Indian workers into its largest market.
"Infosys is engaged in discussions with the U.S. Attorney's office and other government departments regarding a civil resolution of the government's investigation into the company's compliance" with temporary visas for tech workers known as B-1 visas, Infosys said in an addendum to its quarterly report.
Without that $35 million provision, net profit for the quarter would have been down 2.7 percent. The company said it could not comment further on the investigation because it is ongoing.
Labor advocates say the temporary visas for technology workers in the U.S., known as B-1 visas, are used by Indian outsourcers to bring in cheap software experts in to work in the U.S. instead of hiring American workers. Outsourcers argue that they need their own experts to install software developed in India.
Infosys posted year-on-year revenue growth of 15 percent to $2.1 billion. The positive numbers prompted the company to upgrade its annual revenue outlook, though it remained conservative because company officials said the next two quarters are traditionally weak. Infosys shares rose 4 percent to 4,209 rupees on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The company also reported landing 68 new clients in the quarter, including five worth more than $50 million each that are expected to increase revenue in the long-term.
In local currency terms, Infosys posted modest profit growth of 1.6 percent in profit for the quarter, thanks to the sharp depreciation of the Indian rupee that lost one-sixth of its value earlier this year, though it has somewhat recovered.
Indian outsourcers benefit from a weak rupee because most of their business comes from the United States and Europe and is paid in dollars and euros.

Sony Ericsson W580i review
|Review: September 2007
Last updated September 2009
In a nutshell: A cool-looking slide-design Walkman phone with funky lighting effects.
The Sony Ericsson W580i is a Walkman phone in a slide design. It's available in a choice of white, black, pink or grey.
Physically, the W580i looks cool. It's a nice slider, with a very usable 5-way navigation key. The keypad has sensibly-sized keys that light up in use and are easy to press. Dedicated keys are used to control the Walkman functions, so you can play music when the slide is closed. The screen is of good quality and can be viewed outdoors without too much trouble. Like the S500i, the W580i features very cool lighting effects and is a beautiful phone to look at and play with.
The W580i features a "shake control" - you flick your wrist when the music player is on and a random song is selected to play. Gimmicky but cool. Another gimmick is the built-in pedometer. It's a useful feature if you do a lot of walking, but pedometers are cheap and readily available - do you really need one in your phone?
The main feature of the W580i (apart from making phone calls, of course!) is the music player. We've written about the quality of the Walkman music range many times on this site - take it from us, it's good. The W580i has the new version 2.0, and is also equipped with an FM radio. A stereo headset is included in the sales package, and there's also support for an optional Bluetooth stereo headset. The available memory is not generous - just 12 Mbytes built-in (enough for 3-4 songs) but the memory is expandable to 1 Gbyte (Memory Stick Micro™) or 4 Gbytes (Memory Stick PRO).
The phone also comes with a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, but this cannot compare with the autofocus-equipped cameras on the K800i or W610i.
However, the big problem with the W580i is that the keys are prone to cracking. Read the user reviews below to see just how many people have reported the same problem. It was exactly the same with the Sony Ericsson S500i. However, now that the price has dropped to around £50, you may decide that it's worth the risk.

- 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom
- Video camera
- 3D Java games
- Display: 262,144-colour TFT LCD, 240 x 320 colours (2 inches)

I purchased this phone about 3 years ago. It's still going but only just. 1. The two main buttons have nearly broken off, they are like two wobbly teeth. 2. The memory card slot keeps popping out. 3. The number keys look like they could snap at any minute. Basically no-one should buy this phone. Friends who also had this phone have had to get rid of it. Another thing to point out is that the charger connector easily breaks/snaps. This is probably the worst phone ever. Don't be fooled by looks

WHY THE SONY ERICSSON W580i IS GOOD FOR WRITERS I am a writer and I own a Sony Ericsson W580i. When I started writing I was going to buy a smartphone as a writer's tool, but this phone is just great anyway. Here are some points as to why it is useful: The Oxford English Dictionary - You can download this from PlayNow for just five pounds. Every writer needs a dictionary so what is better than having one built into your phone. Notes - The notes function on this phone is the best I have seen. If you think that you will forget something important, just save it here. You can also show your notes in standby which, as a writer, I find very useful. Record Sound - This little function is of great use to any writer. Whenever you've got an excellent idea, just record it here and it saves straight to your phone. May I also add that the walkman is a great music player and if you are trying to think of a name for a character in a book, just send a text to Jamster and they will give you a suitable name. It is really for naming babies but is great for writers too. Hope this was useful. Thank you very much.

I've had this phone for about a year (ages I know!) and it's taken that long to finally break, however that was my own fault. It's lasted long after all the times I've dropped it. So for me, it's been a great phone. If I could go back in time, I'd buy it again without any hesitation. Camera: It's okay, but video plays quite slowly. Music: Great! There's even a button so you can do two things at once on it Style: Love it Buttons: I've had no problems with cracking Internet: Kinda slow. I recommend this phone to anybody thinking of buying it :)

All keys have cracked, the 5 key broke and fell off. It often freezes and switches itself off. Sometimes the screen goes crazy and shows weird pixel patterns. If there is the slightest hint of moisture in the air, the phone freaks out, screen cuts out, then the screen constantly flashes off and on like a strobe light for about 2 days. But the sound quality is better than my iPod, the camera is excellent at landscape shots, the web browser is rather good, and after about 3 years, i'm still in love with it

There were some issues with build quality on the second one i bought, sometimes the sidelight colours didnt match. The screen flickered when you touched the buttons at the top. The back plate creaked when you were pressing buttons. If you install too many games 100+ it corrupted the memory card. This was just with one phone, the other never had any of these problems.

The Sony Ericsson w580i was the best phone i had. I recently upgraded to the LG Cookie, and seriously regret the decision. I found the music player very useful, and ultimatley this is a great phone. Although, i had a problem with the camera, as it does not zoom when in standard mode. Also, within two months the space button on the keypad broke; as i am a textaholic this left me with a slight dilemma. I managed to find a way to avoid this problem, but i was not pleased at the time. All in all, i had this phone for 18 months, and found it very simple to use, ideal for first timers.

I love this phone I've had it for two years now and have remained very impressed. It has some very good features, i'm always using the pedometer and the shake control music feature. I think the different colour lights on the side are a relly nice touch and this was one of the features that attracted me to the phone in the first place as well as the look of the phone itself. The camera takes outstanding pictures and after two years I couldn't be more pleased although there are minor problems such as a few of the keys cracking but thats quite trivial really. Love the phone and think it was a brilliant purchase well worth buying and would encourage anyone else to do the same!!

I've had this phone for about 18 months and I would probably say it's my favourite of any phone I've owned. There are plenty of comments from other users here about the quality of it. I just wanted to respond to the part in the review about the pedometer: the pedometers that are "cheap and readily available" tend to be basic and don't have the added features that come with this, which, btw includes software so can organise a training schedule using the info you get from the pedometer. As to "do you really need one in your phone", well you can take a phone, an MP3 player and a pedometer out running with you, or you can just take this. Seriously, the pedometer does seem gimmicky, but it's probably the thing I'm going to miss most when I look to upgrade in a month or two.

I love this phone! I have no idea what people are on about when it comes to battery life and keys because the battery lasts ages, the keys are fine and they haven't broken, which is what I was worried about happening after reading the reviews. The sound is amazing and I love the "shake control" I have bought a small speaker to make it sound even better which is really good also! Memory wise, if you have a problem with that, an M2 card is great, I have one and I can put over 400 songs on my phone. The camara is ok,in the night or just later on in the day it's a bit pixally and difficult to use as there is no flash or light but otherwise it's not too bad. I'm a bit of a clutz and drop it a lot, luckily it's not broken on me. But sometimes the back comes off and i end up with a few scratches on it. Calling and texting are both fine, no problems, and I don't really use the internet on it. It looks really nice, I have the grey and blue colour. Overall I recommend this phone! and don't not buy it because of other reviews as that's what I nearly did and I'm soo glad I bought it because it hasn't failed me!

I contacted sony ericsson who i then sent my phone to only to be told there were 'cracks in resin' and therefore it was not covered by the 2 year phone guarentee due to 'customer damage'. I wonder if anyone knows if this is correct and if they have had the same response? Surely these phones are made to last more than 18 months?!!

I got this phone in July 2008. It was fantastic for the first few months. However, over time the keys have begun to wobble and/or crack. The camera has poor quality and the screen has some scratches on it - which is probably my fault. Also, the phone completely died on me one day and would not charge or anything. It took hours to figure out what to do, I then had to download a load of firmware(?) for the phone and reset it completely. This was incredibly annoying. I have also recently noticed that the call quality has decreased. Plus it cuts out sometimes.

When I got the phone it had to be sent back after 3 days because the keys were broken, then sent back again because the phone was cutting out all the time and if I pressed the 5 button it would turn off, so I couldn't text or ring anyone beginning with J,K or L, even if I scrolled down to it. Then my * key broke and I had to manually control my 'silent' option. Then the space key broke. Next to go was the navigation pad. Not a good phone at all, and after recommening Sony Ericsson, I shall do so no more!!

I LOVE THIS PHONE! this is by far the best phone i've ever had! i love the lighting effects and how it works! I also LOVE how durable it is! i drop my phone ALOT and even when the battery comes out it still works totally fine! i am so clumsy that i accidently ran overthis phone with my car! and it worked fine, and looked almost fine too! the screen wasn't cracked, just the back had a small scratch which was barly noticable! also, i spilt coffee on it once and tryed it off, it stopped working and i was upset, but then i took the battery out and used a hand dryer to dry it off, and when i put it back in it worked perfectly goood again. The only thing i don't like about this phone is the battery doesn;t last long. I text alot so i charge my phone everynight b.c if i don't by the end of day 2 it is dying. but charging it everynight usually isnt a problem. The other thing is the claims that the keys crack is tottaly true. within the first couple months my keys started to crack, however they still work fine, just look different. ive had the phone for about a year now and recently the space key for texting isnt working well due to a crack, however you can spece by moving the arrow key 2 times over, and im used to it now. This phone is amazing, almost everything works fine. I love it and i am sad that i might have to get a new one because im so clumsy and dropped it so much soon ill need a new one. If you dont drop phones easily, it will prob be even better! Great phone to buy, dont regret it at all!

'Antony and Cleopatra' set in fascist '30s
Shad Willingham as Antony and Cynthia Beckert as Cleopatra
By Gazette Staff Writer — Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014
Kingsmen company presents the tragedy for first time
THOUSAND OAKS, CA - The Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival will feature "Antony and Cleopatra" for the first time during its 18th annual season.
Shakespeare's classic historical tragedy will be performed at 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from July 18 through August 3 in scenic Kingsmen Park at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks. The festival grounds open at 5:30 p.m. for picnicking and pre-show entertainment begins at 6:25 p.m.
The play focuses on the great love story of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra and the Roman general Marc Antony. The Kingsmen production, under the direction of award-winning director and actor John Slade of Ojai, is set in the fascist world of the 1930s amid the clash of cultures and a treacherous world of shifting alliances.
A Kingsmen festival regular, Slade directed his own adaptation of "King Henry IV" in 2008 and "King Henry V" in 2004. He played the drunken butler in "The Tempest," Friar Laurence in "Romeo and Juliet" and the title role in "King Lear." This summer, he is concurrently performing his full-length concert play, "I Sing Walt Whitman," throughout the country. His theater career began more than 40 years ago as a student at the University of Michigan, where he and classmate Gilda Radner founded a repertory company that juxtaposed drama, comedy and music.
Shad Willingham will return to the festival stage as Antony, having previously appeared in "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Romeo and Juliet." Willingham has performed with the Idaho, Lake Tahoe, New Orleans and Oregon Shakespeare festivals. He teaches acting at California State University, Northridge.
Cynthia Beckert will make her Kingsmen debut as Cleopatra. She has performed at Laguna Playhouse and with Santa Barbara's Ensemble Theatre Company, Georgia Shakespeare and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. She is a member of the all-female Los Angeles Women's Shakespeare Company.
Justin Michael Terry and Elyse Mirto will both return to the festival stage to play Octavius and Octavia.
The Kingsmen Shakespeare Company is the professional theater company of CLU. In addition to producing one of the area's most popular outdoor theatrical events, it provides apprentice programs, an educational tour program and summer youth theater camps.
Guests should bring low-back lawn chairs or blankets to sit on and dress warmly. Admission is $20 for adults and free for those under 18. For information or advance lawn box reservations, call 805-493-3014 or visit http://www.kingsmenshakespeare.org.


text: My daughter is 16 weeks and we are still having daily struggles with breastfeeding. I work part time so she gets bottled expressed milk that I pump while I'm at work. I have been struggling with overproduction but she manages that pretty well now. My problem is I have a hard time getting her to nurse in any position besides laying down. Even laying down she fights me sometimes. I try to get her sleepy and then try and still sometimes am unsuccessful. It gets me very frustrated, she usually nurses every 2 hours in the evenings and I like her last feeding to land around 10 pm so I can nurse her before I go to bed and she sleeps until 7 AM. Any advice on how to get her to relax and quit fighting me? Am i maybe just trying to feed her when she's not hungry (she really has no hunger cues because she is constantly sucking on her hands). I would really like to be able to nurse in the rocking chair in our living room in the evenings so I don't have to seclude myself to the bedroom all the time.

Police say extensive training helps guide deadly force decisionsBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 12. 2013 11:43PM
Law enforcement officers spend hours training for scenarios in which split-second decisions involving the use of deadly force against someone in a vehicle need to be made based on limited information.
On Sept. 30, a New Hampshire state trooper fired shots that killed a woman after a car chase that ended in Manchester, authorities said. Wendy Lawrence, 45, was at the corner of Kennard Road and Dave Street after leading police on a chase that started on Interstate 89 in the Concord area. Lawrence, of Canterbury, was shot four times and died from a gunshot wound to the chest, authorities said.
On Aug. 14, two Weare police officers were involved in the fatal shooting of an alleged drug dealer during an undercover operation. At some point, officers fired their weapons and wounded the suspect, Alex Cora DeJesus, 35, of Manchester, who drove off in his car, authorities said. The car crashed a few hundred yards away.
Both incidents are still being investigated.
Police say traffic stops are among the most unpredictable and trickiest parts of police work.
"It can be one of the most routine events in the daily life of a police officer, but so much training goes into preparing for them because things can change so quickly out there," said Mike Selicki, chief of the Kensington Police Department and president of the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police.
Unpredictable situations
Traffic stops are unpredictable because, among other factors, the officer does not know what the driver is thinking, said Selicki. Across the country last year, 17 of 116 officers killed in the line of duty were killed during traffic stops, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
"You can do a certain amount of scenario training and preparation, but once you're in the field, it's very different and hard to foresee how people will react," said Capt. Mark Bodanza, in-service bureau commander of the Police Standards and Training Council in Concord. "You are constantly reassessing the situation, second to second."
Each year, officers at departments across the state are required to take part in a four-hour training session on the proper use of deadly force, said Capt. Benjamin Jean of the Police Standards and Training Council.
"It's important for them to understand the law and how it applies," said Jean, "because an officer only has seconds to decide whether to use his weapon or not."
Courses offered through the Standards and Training Council put officers through real-life scenarios designed to sharpen their skills. Interactive video simulations portray people with and without weapons, in different locations and varying lighting, and of different gender, ethnicity and size. Officers are taught to evaluate a person's body language, general appearance, whether they appear to be attempting to avoid being noticed and how they are behaving.
Bodanza said one simulation involves officers dealing with a man who threatens their lives during a traffic stop. They draw their guns as the man reaches into his backseat and comes out pointing. But they learn to hold their fire because the man emerges pointing a finger at them, not a gun.
It's done with simulation
The action is virtual, projected onto a white screen while officers practice loading and firing weapons that have an air tank to provide recoil but no ammunition.
The Fire Arms Training Simulator, or FATS, is a system worth between $40,000 and $65,000. Officers rotate in and out of a room, practicing responses to high-pressure situations. Another member of the department sits behind a computer, deciding how the story will unfold, depending on the officers' actions.
"Any training you can get is good training, especially when it comes to use of force," said Bodanza.
After each scenario, officers and their superiors review a tape, dissecting each decision and even the aiming accuracy of the firearms, which include a rifle, handgun, Taser and pepper spray.
But the exercise is less about target practice and more about taking control of a situation to de-escalate it, Selicki said.
"The last thing anyone in law enforcement wants to do is discharge their firearm," said Selicki, "unless the officer involved determines the situation warrants it."
Narrow window
Standard protocol in police departments throughout New Hampshire, as well as state law, restrict use of deadly force.
According to RSA 627:5, an officer is justified in using deadly force only when it is reasonable to believe that it's necessary in order to defend the officer or a third party.
After an officer-involved shooting takes place, standard protocol dictates the officer or officers involved immediately be placed on paid administrative leave while the incident is reviewed by the Attorney General's Office.
Jeffery Strelzin, senior assistant attorney general, said officer-involved shootings don't get special treatment.
The review of the Lawrence shooting "is progressing, but we are still conducting our investigation," Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan G. Morrell said last week.
Police understand
"Police officers don't go 'crazy' and become trigger happy and begin to shoot whoever comes their way," said Rafael Rojas Jr., an assistant professor in the Justice Studies Department at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester and president of the New Hampshire Association of Criminal Justice Educators and a former New York Port Authority officer.
"Police have been trained to make immediate decisions when dealing with the public under all circumstances. We exercise more restraint than anyone else, as we have to explain to a grand jury why an action we took led to the death of an innocent person or criminal."
It's a life-changing event," said Selicki. "Police officers are not out looking to hurt people. We want to help people."

Q. We want to connect a Blu-ray player to the Internet to stream Netflix and thought we could use our wireless router. We tried a few players with built-in wireless but they can barely see the wireless signal and it cannot hold a connection. I'm considering getting an extender to beef up the signal from the router but was hoping there might be a Blu-ray player that has a decent wireless card. Do you have any recommendations?
A. I do not know of any formal tests comparing Blu-ray player WiFi range, and have not done any testing myself so I can't recommend a player based on those criteria. There is an easy workaround available so it should not be hard for you to connect any player to the Internet.
If you look on the back of a Blu-ray player you will find an Ethernet port. You can connect this port to a power-line adapter. A power-line adapter typically comes with two identical modules. One plugs into an AC outlet near your modem and the other plugs into an outlet near the device. Connect the first adapter to your modem with an Ethernet cable and connect the other to your Blu-ray player. The power-line adapter will transmit the Internet signal over your home's electrical wiring. I've used this system to connect my own players to the Internet and it works well.
Many different brands of power-line adapters are available. I have had good luck with the Netgear brand. A complete system with two adapters can be purchased for under $60.
Of course, you can use a power-line adapter to connect a computer or audio receiver to the Internet as well. With some many devices from radios to refrigerators featuring Internet connectivity these days, a power-line adapter can be a very useful tool.
Q. I have noticed your recent recommendations for plasma TVs vs. LED or LED-LCD. Do you have any information of the differences in power consumption between similar sized sets?
-- H.M., Burnsville, Minn.
A. I wrote a very detailed column about this subject, which you can find at http://tinyurl.com/9mlp5bo. Another article that you may find interesting can be found at http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/hdtv/plasmatv-green.html. In a nutshell, though plasma TVs were once power hogs the difference is no longer dramatic and in some cases plasma TVs consume less power than similarly sized LCD counterparts. In cases where plasma costs more it may be around $1 per month. I recently wrote a column where I said reliability should not be an issue when comparing LCD vs. plasma sets, as both technologies are very reliable. The same can be said for power consumption as both technologies are now very competitive. Buy the set you like best, no matter if it is LCD or plasma. It should prove to be very reliable as well as energy efficient.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry is defending U.S. drone strikes after the CIA's killing of a senior Taliban member.
Kerry says the U.S. is at war with al-Qaida and the Taliban, so the strikes are legal. He says the U.S. wages the war in self-defense and as a last resort.
U.S. drone policy is under growing scrutiny. President Barack Obama promised greater transparency last week and said attacks would target only "imminent threats" to U.S. national security.
On Wednesday, a CIA strike killed a Pakistani Taliban deputy leader.
Kerry says drones have killed dozens of highly-trained al-Qaida commanders, trainers, bomb makers and operatives. He says drones have disrupted plots against planes, U.S. transit systems, European cities and American troops in Afghanistan.
Kerry says, quote, "Those strikes have saved lives."

My heart goes out to Felton and the entire UGA team as they continue to deal with this tragedy.
Thanks, that was a good read. It also made me feel better about Felton, who sometimes strikes me as mechanical and passionless.
Agree. I think DF has mostly DONE the right things so far, but he doesn't always SAY the right things. With respect to this very diffcult matter, he's done both.

....i just threw up in my mouth a little.
It's not April Fool's Day yet! Make it go away!
The Hell?
Oh Dear God, why?!
Wow, this is sad.
I didn't think that Larry could be involved in a worse idea than Cars....but here it is !
There's a demographic for that??? Oh well, after all, there seems to even have a budget... :/ Sad to see how money is thrown away without any reason these days.
I'm just trying to wrap my head around how they could go from Dwayne Johnson in the first one, to Larry The Cable Guy for this one. I guess they're only shooting for the hardcore redneck demographic, this time around.
I wonder if the guy who wrote this screenplay has a huge heroin or meth addiction and he wrote this to buy his next fix.
And they say terrorism hasn't reached Hollywood... THEN WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT!?
No words. Just utter shock.
Didn't believe in the Mayan Apocalypse 'til right now.
May God have mercy on our souls...
OH DEAR. What is this?
There are no words for this...
How can this be a sequel to the Toothfairy franchise when there was no franchise before this sequel?
Well done Fox, making it up as you go along.

Oh, dear lord. Haven't we suffered enough?
