Requiem for a Dream (US - BD)
Gabe prefers the original title: Terror Dirge for an Absolute Nightmare...
Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn) spends her days alone, watching infomercials, and pining for her salad days. Her son Harry (Jared Leto) is a drug addict who listlessly spends his time creating music. Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) fancies herself a fashion designer, but is also a listless drug addict, as is his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans). It's summer, and Sara gets a random phone call announcing that she's won a chance to appear on a game show. She decides she's going to fit into her favourite red dress when the time comes and starts a doctor prescribed weight loss regiment that includes amphetamines. Meanwhile Harry, Marion and Tyrone find minor success deal drugs, but their addictions get the better of them, and they spiral into deprivation. Things aren't much better for anyone through the fall and winter, when all four lives devolve into complete and utter terror.
Requiem for a Dream marks the one and only time I almost left a movie theatre out of sheer terror in my adult life. As the credits began to roll I looked at my hands and noticed I was making fists. I released the fists and noticed my palms were bleeding based on the tightness of my fists. They'd apparently been bleeding for a while too. Then came the nightmares. And not just vague memories of the film's more strikingly frightening sequences, the kind of nightmares that are only broken by gasping awake, and changing the sheets. The first editorial I wrote for DVDActive was a collection of films I found infinitely more frightening than the majority of so-called horror films, and I placed Requiem for a Dream at the top, above Audition, Cannibal Holocaust, Begotten, and a dozen other movies that weren't included because I didn't find them disturbing enough (such as the Guinea Pig series). Since then I finally got around to seeing the truly, bone-chilling excesses of Gasper Noe's Irreversible, but second place is a pretty strong showing for a film staring two Oscar winners.
Director Darren Aronofsky overstepped the stylistic lines far enough that some critics dismissed the film outside of Ellen Burstyn's bravura performance. I tend to think that they were blinded by the film's pure ferocity. If it had been labelled a horror film (it was featured in Fangoria) the overall response would've probably been more uniformly positive. Horror movies rarely get Oscar nominations, but that's beside the point, since Julia Roberts robbed Burstyn of her Best Actress win, and the film saw no other 2000 nominations (and it was a pretty weak year). Despite his heavy use of extremely modern editing techniques (hip hop montages, speed ramping, extremely quick cuts), Aronofsky opts for a more '70s style look for the majority of the first half of the film. As the film progresses and the characters begin to circle the drain, the look becomes more stylistically modern, closer to a music video. Then things turn almost gothic for the final act nightmare. If one were to watch the film out of order, or come in half way through the subtlety of these changes would be lost on them.
Though an almost perfect film technically speaking, Requiem for a Dream is not a flawless exercise. The major question is why? Why did Aronofsky feel the need to tell such a severe story of addiction? What is this unmistakable work of art really saying to its audience? Is it just screaming 'Don't Do Drugs' over and over, or is there a deeper message? Upon second, third, and even tenth viewings of the film I tend to think that there really isn't anything more to read into the text. I'm not sure if this is really a problem per se, but it's a valid criticism for the film's detractors to hang onto. Narrative complexity isn't something Aronofsky is particularly interested in. All four of his films have dealt more heavily in characters and the characters' subjective views of generally simplistic stories. Unlike the director's other films Requiem for a Dream doesn't feature an unusual hook. Pi is a thriller about math, shot like a Lynchian nightmare. The Fountain is a Zen science fiction love story about accepting death. The Wrestler is a cinema verite look at the strange world of professional wrestling. Requiem for a Dream covers nothing but loss, terror, and all the other stuff we already knew went along with drug addiction. The one thing all four films definitely have in common is the study of loneliness, and that is something Requiem does with more power than any film since Taxi Driver.
Matthew Libartique's Requiem for a Dream cinematography is gorgeous, but pure colour and perfect clarity have never really been the most important elements. The film has featured a slight sort of fog over the whole print (which increases when the characters get high), and contrast and focus emulates the human eye more than the usually hyper-stylized look featured in modern films. During the extreme, scientific close-ups the print is mostly super-sharp, features heavier contrast, and punchier colours. Outside of the hip-hop montages, and the dream/nightmare sequences, the only really punchy colour is the red of Burstyn's dress, which is a little less pure than I'd prefer, but less noisy than that of the DVD release. As stated in the feature review, the style does change as the film progresses, so the latter scenes are set a bit more awash with tonal colours, mostly the cool blues of Marion's nightmare, and the golden warmth of Tyrone's. Still, even in the regular facial close-ups details aren't too far beyond the capabilities of standard definition video. The consistent variance of lighting sources makes the overall wide detail uneven, and leads to variances in artefact and grain levels. Overall I was actually surprised by the grain levels, which I recall being quite severe in theatres.
Requiem for a Dream is a masterwork of subjective sound design, one of the best in independent film history. Every sound eked into the mix is unbelievably important to the theme of a given scene. The micro becomes macro, and the buzz of the real world is often negated into silence. One of the more interesting aspects of the mix is how specifically placed the sound design is. If something happens on the right side of the screen, then that's exactly where the sound will occur. This is extended to the vocal performances, which come from odd channels in support of the disassociated nature of drug use. The audio even splits when the picture splits. And then there's Clint Mansell's indelible score. Mansell, along with the Kronos Quartet, permanently changed the landscape of film music with this simplified, techno meets classical score, in my humble opinion. Even without the images and sound design to support it, the repetitive requiem could induce a nightmare, and the power of the strongest moments was enough to inspire a million movie trailers to adapt them. I don't notice any massive improvements from the DVD's Dolby Digital track, but this DTS-HD 7.1 track is definitely louder, and the really important stuff is a bit clearer. The really stylized stuff, especially the jump scares, are bigger than the Dolby track could've offered without buzzing with distortion.
All the extras here were previously available on the special edition Artisan DVD, starting with duelling commentary tracks. The first track features a relatively sedate Aronofsky, who doles out consistent information concerning just about every aspect of the filmmaking process, including technical achievements, thematic choices, subtext, performances, and sound design. It isn't a particularly lively track, but it's full of valuable information, and doesn't overlap too much with the other extras, which Aronofsky considers while speaking. The other track features cinematographer Matthew Libatique, who takes a very technical approach to the process. It's a little overwhelming for those of us that aren't schooled in photography techniques, but those of you that are will probably find an important lesson to learn.
'The Making of Requiem for a Dream' (35:20, SD) is a bit of a trying watch in that it isn't a particularly structured collection of raw behind-the-scenes footage. There are nuggets of genuine interest, and Aronofsky is on hand as a narrator to help us through the experience. If the director's commentary hadn't been so jam packed with info the lack of anything non-technical might have been a problem, because those of us looking for meaning and history cannot find it here. 'Memories, Dreams and Addictions' (20:00, SD) features Burstyn interviewing author Hubert Selby Jr. It's just as weird as one assumes it would be. The disc also features ten deleted scenes/outtakes, presented in non-anamorphic, SD video, without a play all option, but with an optional Aronofsky commentary, and a collection of trailers and TV spots (not in HD).
Requiem for a Dream is a great rainy day movie. It's the kind of thing you can watch just about any day of the week with the kids and grandma, on a double feature with Mary Poppins. It's especially good for a bad case of the Mondays. This Lionsgate release should please fans, though it isn't a massive overhaul from the Artisan DVD release. The A/V upgrade is about average, and all the old release's extras. A retrospective doc would've been nice, but otherwise there isn't a lot to complain about. Buy yourself a copy, call your friends, and gather with your favourite beer and pizza around the old idiot box.

Its new, i just got it by mail!
I've Irreversible and Audition, but I still haven't seen Requiem or The Wrestler(I did see the fountain and I couldn't get into Pi).
I hated Mystic River and Dancer in the Dark, just to say, not to make any point.
I said it was Requiem was an equally powerful study of loneliness. Noe's I Stand Alone is relatively powerful, but a little too silly to quite be counted in this instance.
I said it was Requiem was an equally powerful study of loneliness. Noe's I Stand Alone is relatively powerful, but a little too silly to quite be counted in this instance.
This film will stuck with you for the rest of your life. It's definitely Aronofsky's Masterpiece. It's nice to see how you suggested than this film is the most powerful since Taxi Driver, which is also one of my favorites as well. I don't recall seeing anything this disturbing or haunting, it's definitely like a nightmare come true. Even Mystic River, 21 Grams, Dancer in the Dark, Leaving Las Vegas, Irreversible, which are severely depressing film, could not match the depressing and destructive level of this film.
Just looking at those screencaps make me want to include this in my annual October horror challenge next month. It looks absolutely terrifying.
If it's only $10 on Amazon it's probably less used.
Its only 10 dollars on Amazon... Ill buy it! I never watched it but i feel like i have to after ive seen what a genious Darren Aronofsky is from The Wrestler and The Fountain
Another good review Gabe. Definitely shook me when I watched this the first time, but definitely felt that it should have finished five minutes earlier when the tension is just at the unbearable level, rather than allow the audience to breathe for the last five minutes. Yeah, that'd have made it even more intense, but a worthwhile ending.

Spanish Beer
Although Spain is traditionally known as a land of wine drinkers, more and more people are beginning to drink beer instead. It is thought that this is down to the fact that the country has seen a large number of microbreweries open, particularly in areas like Catalonia. These microbreweries are helping the industry to grow and transform. The microbrewery owners are getting more creative with hop combinations and spices, giving Spanish beer a unique flavour that it has lacked in the past.
Beer festivals in Spain
One of the most popular beer festivals in Spain is the Barcelona Beer Festival. It is an annual meet up for all craft beer enthusiasts and has been known to attract over ten thousand visitors. There are over three hundred different beers to taste, including both local beers and beverages from other countries. It is thought that around fifty five of these beers actually come from the microbreweries based in Catalonia. As well as getting to sample some of Spain's finest beers, visitors can also listen to lectures from local experts and learn more about Spain's drinking culture.
Spanish fiestas and sporting events
Every year hundreds of fiestas, carnivals and parades take place in Spain. Often they celebrate religious holidays like Christmas and Easter. These colourful and lively events would not be complete without a vast spread of traditional Spanish tapas, jugs full of fruity sangria and ice cold beers.
Traditionally alcoholic beverages like sangria and beer would be consumed at sporting events like bull fighting. However more recently Spain has clamped down on drinking alcohol in public and many regions in Spain have now banned bull fighting due to animal welfare controversy.
If you are looking for the best selection of Spanish beers then you have certainly come to the right place. With both traditional favourites and unique offerings, we are sure you will find something that takes your fancy from our fantastic selection of alcohol from Spain.

"found everything but leg warmers"
"Loving this idea for Halloween decorating for a rustic decor home. If you have seen things like this at fancy boutiques then you know they sell for a pretty penny! Why spend your hard earned money when you can use your creative edge and bend some wire?! The beauty of it is the fact that you do not have to be perfect. The finished craft is supposed to look a little imperfect. Fun! Make a letter sign that says BOO!"
"Ideas that can be incorporated to fit into any holiday theme (like this one !) are a great craft to partake in. Here is another idea for a Halloween themed pumpkin succulent that I came up with. Instead of the solid color pumpkin how about buying a Day of the Dead or sugar skull stencil? Start with the white pumpkin and paint in the stencil in black or several different brights- like pink, green, red, purple, and yellow?"
"These coasters are beautiful. I've been fascinated with the process of crafting with resin but haven't tried it yet. What a great way to preserve and save shells or other little things that are a souvenir from a special trip or a piece of memorabilia. We even have beaded necklaces that our Gram wore in the early 1960's. This would be a neat way to repurpose the beads."
"Anybody have an idea on how I could attach some sort of handle on these jars? I just think they are adorable to take out trick-or-treating with the kids, for mom or dad to carry so THEY can collect some candy, too! Another cool thing to do with these is to first do the glow stick craft all on the inside, then cover them like a mummy. Line your walkway or driveway for a fun Halloween glow in the dark effect."

Buxton's Ludo McMahon embarked on an exciting journey to the summit of Mount Everest as explorer Matt Dickinson shared stories of his adventures.
The 11-year-old met the author, who as well as scaling the world's highest peak, has penned the Mortal Chaos series, when he came to his school Hulme Hall Grammar.
Matt enthralled the pupils at the Cheadle Hulme school with his tales of terrible danger, mortal peril and the extreme conditions including 'white outs' and risks of frostbite he had to endure during his expeditions.
Ludo said: "The talk was very interesting, I learnt a lot about going up mountains such as how altitude sickness can affect you and the dangers you might get into that I hadn't considered before. Matt's adventures were fascinating to listen to, he's a great storyteller."

German French painter, sculptor, collagist and inventor of Surrealist techniques. He pioneered a method called frottage, in which a sheet of paper is placed on the surface of an objectand then penciled over until the texture of the surface is transferred.
One of the most influential of the Surrealist painters.

Fascinated by the art of the insane. He met Macke in 1911 and through him the Blauer Reiter group.
Ernst began exhibiting in in 1913 at the First German Autumn Salon in Berlin organized by Macke and Kandinsky. Made his first visit to Paris in the same year. Spent the war as an artillery engineer. The paintings of de Chirico helped to stimulate his interest in dream-like fantastic imagery, and he founded the Cologne Dada group with Baargeld and Arp (1919-21).

Notes on major overhaul
Hm, I didn't know there was a behind-the-scene page we could discuss this. I had already mentioned some points on the forums I wasn't sure about when I did the major overhaul and update. I will also list them here so other people that don't use the forum can see it (plus my post it already amongst dozens of older ones in the ATI Grill)
- Xorg example file; is it needed? And if it is, most entries are uncommented and I think we should at least provide some information on the options if we decide to keep it.
- Installing from AMD. Should we even instruct this? It's absolutely unrecommended and I for one don't know if the instructions are correct.
Thanks for working on this article everyone!
Unia 00:29, 14 October 2012 (Amsterdam)
- xorg.conf: It exists here for reference to those who need it as a starting point. When I started with Catalyst back in the 8.xx series, there was sporadic (if any) documentation anywhere. As for explaining the options: there are man pages and X.org also maintains a wiki. Make links if you have to.
- Installing from AMD: Yes, it needs to be here for those who aren't dependent on *more* layers of scripts that obfuscate everything. I for one, value the ability of seeing what is happening on a lower level and troubleshooting it myself. Otherwise I'd still be using Mandriva. As far as being "unrecommended", that is merely a point of view for the reader to consider. If X breaks, would you know how to fix it?
T1nk3r3r (talk) 23:32, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Successfully merged section from ATI article. Cleaned it up as best I knew how. However, I do not use the packages suggested here (or fglrx anymore for that matter). So we just need someone to update/verify the instructions to what the current packages require for a clean removal. Then the outdated tag can be removed.
Props to User:Unia for your dilligence on this subject. T1nk3r3r (talk) 17:24, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
XvBA-Video Repository
Note to editors: DO NOT REMOVE that since it works and helps users getting it working!
Why keep it around if the information is obsolete now?

deleted note on nomodeset warning
the nomodeset option si mandatory using catalyst, cause this driver doesn't support kms. The note is useless. 4javier 07:50, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
I think the problems with Radeon HD 6870 are outdated, I use that graphics card and I didn't have any problems at all, even OpenCL works fine. -- Lykos42 14:04, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
- Added Template:Accuracy, please next time don't be afraid of adding status templates by yourself :) -- Kynikos 07:59, 15 March 2012 (EDT)
I cannot speak for speak for the HD 6870 but I can confirm that the problem still exists for the E-350 (APU with a HD 6310), and that the posted solution works if the device name is changed (and perhaps without changing it, I didn't test). I have therfore removed the disputed banner and generalized the answer. (As is suspect the fix works for virtually any "unsupported" device). If someone could confirm the naming scheme for the Xorg identifier I would appreciate it. --Eric Vuhl (talk) 12:19, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
Compatibility table
I've been thinking for a while it might be nice to have a compatibility table or something to see which version of Catalyst works with which versions of X and the Linux kernel. Would this be totally off? Is there a better place to see this information? Would there be a better place to store this information? --Freso (talk) 11:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure for the need of this, why would people want to use an older version? AFAIK there are no major problems with Catalyst 12.9 nor with Catalyst-legacy. For those two, the information is already there:
1. Users with Radeon HD {2,3,4}xxx can only use catalyst-legacy which supports Xorg <= 1.12 (use [xorg112] repo) 2. Users with Radeon HD => 5xxx should use catalyst which supports Xorg 1.13
Of course, the more info the better, so if you want to add this feel free to do so! ==Unia
vaapi with smplayer
I found smplayer config to use mplayer-vaapi not right. If you set Video output Driver to vaapi or vaapi:gl, you'll not need to add extra options -vo vaapi to mplayer options Mplayer won't work if both -lavadopts and -vo vaapi are set. So we need to turn off -lavadopts option (useful when decode by CPU, but usesless with GPU) by set "Threads for decoding" to 1 in Performance section. Therefore I decided to edit wiki section about using smplayer. Hope this will be useful for someone!
Is catalyst-dkms working fine without the additional mkinitcpio-dkms package? By working fine i mean will it compile fglrx module for freshly installed kernel in the background? Building module while system start is not safe. You system will probably start X before module will be build and so X will fail terribly. AFAIK last related post on the forums in telling that the additional mkinitcpio-dkms package is needed. If it's needed then such information should be added to the wiki. Even more - if it's needed then i would say that mkinitcpio-dkms package should be added to the community and catalyst-dkms should depend on it, otherwise it's hard to consider catalyst-dkms as "safe".

The Care and Feeding of your Weigh Cells
Load Cells Are Super Accurate, but Finicky. Here Are Some of the Biggest Causes of Problems and How to Avoid Them
Using load cells to accurately measure the content of tanks seems like a good idea. Yet at many facilities, they have been disconnected. They are left in place and the electrical cables connecting to the controls are cut because they never worked properly. Why? Several reasons. Ryan Titmas, product manager at Sartorius North America, Bohemia, N.Y., a manufacturer of weighing and liquid handling systems, outlines "the worst culprits."
Let's begin with a focus on the shear beam load cell. The alignment of the force vectors is important; these sensors can't discriminate against true vertical load and side/torque loading. You want to measure the true vertical load; i.e., the weight within the tank—not the shear loads. However, real-world conditions or improper installation often cause the load cells to see much more than vertical loading. These other factors cause the poor repeatability in weighing that ultimately leads to abandonment of load systems.
How a Shear Beam Works
A shear beam load cell is a precision-milled piece of metal that includes several strain gauges. These gauges are positioned at a 45° angle to measure the steel shear strain. They are "the heart of the weigh cell," says Titmas.
Strain gauges are zigzag-shaped strip conductors, etched from thin metal film. They operate on the principle that the electrical resistance of a conductor will increase when it is subjected to mechanical stress. This mechanical stress is caused by tiny changes in the film length and cross-section. The resulting voltage change is very slight; to measure it accurately, a Wheatstone bridge or some other familiar amplifying circuit is used.
The body of the load cell is usually constructed of mild steel, stainless steel alloy or aluminum. A typical load cell will undergo thousands of weighing cycles, so the composition of the metal is very critical to producing reproducible weighing results. A shear beam load cell is actually measuring the shear strain of steel, so if the steel itself isn't monolithic throughout, errors in weighing will occur. In general, it is critical that the load cell manufacturer obtain steel and aluminum that is high-grade to produce the most reliable installation.
Titmas points out that bending beam and shear beam load cells are the industry standard for bench and floor scales. Bending beam load cells are perfect for environments where static weighing takes place; they aren't intended for a process vessel. Weighing a vessel requires a load cell and mechanical support system with a high tolerance of non-vertical loading and the capability to make producible measurements.
Start with the Tank
A weighing application will never be successful without proper attention to the tank. The most important factor to consider when designing for a weigh cell is the construction of the weighing frame. The frame is where the load cells will be mounted. Whether the cell is a shear beam, bending beam or compression type does not matter. This structural steel is mechanically connected to all the load cells under the vessel to ensure that they can't move in different directions independently of each other. Because we're only interested in vertical compression forces, the design must resist external forces that could cause the load cells to tilt.
Figure 1 shows the best type of installation. Notice how the load cells are placed in the middle of the beams. Each cell is situated between two frames. This frame network ensures the load cells will move together, creating a more repeatable weighing environment. In Figure 1, the load cells are mounted on top of a bottom frame assembly that provides a rigid foundation. The weight of the vessel is being transferred to the load cells and then to the bottom frame. This transfer of force occurs with minimal deflection. Although the load cells can be mounted directly to the floor without the bottom frame, the floor must allow little deflection and settling.
"The load cells are measuring deflection down to thousands of a millimeter, so if your foundation deflects, you aren't going to achieve acceptable accuracy. Most architectural designs allow a floor deflection that would be unacceptable for weigh cell operation," says Titmas.
Figure 2a illustrates another typical design problem found in tank weighing. It shows load cells installed on the end of very long tank legs. In this example, errors are due to the legs moving in different directions. Measurements become unrepeatable as extraneous deflection causes variability in movement.

NEW YORK (AP) — A suburban New York mother who pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution says she plans to write a tell-all book naming names.
Anna Gristina told the Daily News (http://nydn.us/Uf6nc1 ) following a brief court appearance Wednesday that football fans particularly will be interested in the book.
The so-called Manhattan Madam declined to elaborate.
Gristina was released last month after being sentenced to time served. She's on five years of probation. She pleaded guilty to a single count of promoting prostitution.
Prosecutors had accused her of having a roster of wealthy, well-placed clients and boasting of law-enforcement connections during 15 years in a business that made her millions. After an investigation, they said it became clear she was simply running a brothel and profiting from it. She said she was merely starting a dating service.

Hey guys!
If you didn't notice already, we officially launched Yumeiro Patissiere yesterday at 3:30pm PST and it will launch every Saturday at 3:30pm PST. I couldn't stop my mouth from watering while watching all the delicious sweets! All the desserts look AMAZING and I can't wait to see the "even better" cake that Ichigo Amano is going to make for Ringo-chan.
If you liked the guardian characters in Shugo Chara, this series has something similar with certain characters having "Sweets Spirits". Only the select few with "spirits" can see others' "spirits". Amano's spirit, "Vanilla" has already met "Chocolat". What other spirits are we bound to meet?
We're already 6 episodes in so make sure you check it out and let me know how you like it!
Here's a brief synopsis:
According to Ichigo Amano, she doesn't do anything better other than eating cake. She can't find anything she wants to do everyday other than attending St. Mary Academy. However, when she meets Professor Henry, her fate changes. She discovers that she wants to reproduce the flavors that her grandma used to make! So begins the discovery of her dream!
In order to accomplish her dream, Ichigo moves into St. Mary and visits the legendary spirit of Sweets! She is still just a beginner so there are a series of failures but she puts all her passion into making sweets so she can get better one step at a time.
Ichigo's dream has just begun!!
**This will be available in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and the United Arab Emirates
why must we make me hungry lol
Awesome!! OwO
I was waiting this anime!
Thanks for the launch :3
Love my faber-Castell Polychromos color pencils~
This one is kind of a mix between Shugo Chara, Gakuen Alice and Kitchen Princess. Should fill the space left open for those who dropped Shugo Chara Party.
you're not a badass unless you have a hat

Indeed, it's good for precisely that role. That's probably the situation for many, and this is certainly cute enough to take such an important role ; )
Chocolat? Vanilla? Sugar Sugar Rune much? xD
*Hmm...not available in my region. >_> Well I didn't want to watch it anyway. I hope it's not as childish as Shugo Chara, though.
good to know i've started watching this from somewhere else because CR doesn't have it yet. THANKS! ^_^
wont be @ crunchy for awhile...

It's nice. I watched it some other place. it's similar to Shugo Chara. But, not as nice as Shugo Chara <3
I think it would be nice if they included recipes in the episodes so we could make some of those delicious looking sweets for ourselves.
So far I think it's a neat show with a lot of interesting ideas as far as making sweets go. Personally I attend a culinary school for pastry and baking, so it's pretty funny to see a lot of the things I go through in my own classes in an anime. So many french words and names to learn... and when she opened the oven and deflated all the puffs I almost laughed my drink through my nose (the same thing happened to half my class when we were making puff pastries)
Who needs sleep anyway?
This anime is Kinda cute!! (= (:
Sigh... Wanted to watch but not available in my region...
Was wondering if it will ever be available in Singapore
II Yui-kun <33 II
Yay! It's finally here! Nice to have an official place to watch this at!
Always out and about!
dang i was so interested in watching an anime with pastries but it's not yet available in my region >_<
i shall wait and hope it will become available worldwide soon
Gomen for not answering people! i don't go on CR anymore...maybe once in a while
Yays another anime to watch =]]

Phasing out Deca
Phasing out Deca
December 2010
Under pressure from EWG and other advocates, EPA and three chemical companies agreed to end production, importation and use of decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca), a neurotoxic and possibly carcinogen chemical, by the end of 2013. Deca, commonly added to consumer electronics, furniture, textiles and plastic shipping pallets, is biopersistent and presents particular dangers to children. EWG supports a federal ban and rules to assure safe substitutes.

Michigan's inaugural wolf hunt not justified
To the Editor:
Last week Adam Bump, of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, claimed 17 of the 23 wolves killed during last fall's wolf hunt happened in places within known territories of packs repeatedly attacking livestock or pets and exhibiting fearless behavior around people. Once again, the DNR has stretched the facts.
Data released this week in response to a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that no wolves were killed near either of the two farms in the U.P. with the greatest livestock losses to wolves.
Most wolves killed during the hunt were far from any perceived or actual threats to humans, including a male and female wolf killed just outside the boundary of the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. The female was a collared research animal.
Another collared wolf was killed near Prickett Lake, within the Ottawa National Forest. Two wolves were killed in the Superior State Forest, one of which was collared.
Other wolves killed in remote areas include one within the Sturgeon Gorge Wilderness area; five within the Baraga State Forest; and another within the boundary of the Black River National Scenic Byway. Three wolves were killed along the east branch of the Ontonagon River within the Ottawa National Forest.
This data reveals that the recent wolf hunt was not justified because most wolves killed were not involved with verified conflicts with livestock or humans during 2013.
Upon federal delisting of wolves in January 2012, livestock and pet owners were allowed to kill any wolf in the act of attacking their animals. Further, the DNR began issuing permits to landowners to kill any wolf on their property if they experienced a prior confirmed wolf attack on their animals. Eleven wolves were killed in control actions by government officials and private citizens.
The numbers demonstrate that these actions were effective. In Wolf Management Unit B (Ontonagon, Houghton and Baraga counties) verified livestock losses by wolves in 2013 were down 89 percent prior to the hunt.
In addition to the 23 wolves killed during the 2013 hunting season, the DNR also reported that 14 wolves were killed illegally.
The DNR should emphasize the value of wolves to the ecosystem through education and outreach, as recommended in Michigan's Wolf Management Plan, instead of trying to find ways to kill non-problem wolves through a recreational hunt.

- You might also be looking for the computer game Star Trek: Away Team.
An away team was a team of specialized starship or starbase crewmembers assembled to perform missions on planet surfaces and other starships.
These missions, deemed away missions, might include exploration, first contact, diplomacy, scientific research, or even combat. These missions are typically launched using a ship's transporter to send the crew to their destination, or by shuttlecraft, when use of the transporter was impossible or undesirable.
See also: List of away teams
22nd century usage Edit
The Earth Starfleet of the 22nd century used the term "away team", most notably by the crew of Enterprise NX-01. Later, the term away team was replaced by "landing party." (ENT: "Observer Effect")
23rd and 24th century usage Edit
The name fell out of favor in the 23rd century with Federation Starfleet personnel. Such a team was referred to as a "landing party" or "boarding party". (Star Trek: Discovery; Star Trek: The Original Series; Star Trek: The Animated Series) The term was also used by Starfleet personnel in an alternate reality in the 23rd century. (Star Trek; Star Trek Into Darkness; Star Trek Beyond)
The term was brought back in the 24th century. In this era, the first officer usually formed and led the away team (Star Trek: The Next Generation). It was standard procedure for the second officer to be part of such a team and for captains not to accompany. (TNG: "Time's Arrow")
Starfleet regulations, specifically Starfleet Code Section 12, Paragraph 4, recommended against the captain joining away missions. (Star Trek Nemesis) Data once reminded Commander Riker of the captain's place on the bridge, as did Counselor Troi. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I", "The Best of Both Worlds")
Types of away teams Edit
- A-6 excavation team
- Assault team
- Boarding party
- Damage control team
- Engineering team
- Forensic team
- Landing party
- Observer team
- Rescue team
- Security team
- Survey team
Background information Edit
The type of team tasked with performing away missions was, during preproduction of Star Trek: The Next Generation, to be called an "away-mission team," before this was simplified to become "away team." (Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission 1st ed., p. 17) The latter term entered common use at the beginning of The Next Generation, and continued its usage throughout the subsequent television series, up to and including the prequel Star Trek: Enterprise.
A recurring plot device throughout Star Trek: The Original Series was that a red shirted member of the landing party would be dead in the first ten minutes of the episode.

Jacob de Swarte (d. 1558)
Jacob de Swarte (Zwarte), an Anabaptist martyr, was born at Nukerke (Nijpkerke) in Flanders, a son of Jan de Swarte. He lived in Oostende and Hondschoote, in which town he was baptized upon his faith in 1557. In the spring of 1558 he moved to Bruges, and soon united with the Mennonite congregation. In vain he tried to win his Catholic wife and his son-in-law to the faith. During a meeting of the congregation a number of members were arrested including Jacob and his cousin Jan Vervest. He did not forsake his Lord and died loyally at the stake on 15 August 1558 at Bruges, Belgium.

Toddler dies from gunshot while sitter slept
A tragic accident in Vidor has resulted in the arrest of a 19-year-old, the death of a 5-year-old boy and the devastation of a family reeling from loss.
According to reports from the Orange County Sheriff's Office, 5-year-old John "Johnny" Allen Read of Vidor was killed Monday, Oct. 21, when a semi-automatic .40-caliber revolver went off in his hands and struck him in the head.
"At about 2:45, our dispatch received a 911 call about a child not breathing," OCSO Chief Deputy Clint Hodgkinson said in an interview Monday. "When deputies arrived they found a child that was unresponsive and appeared to have a gunshot wound to the head that was fatal."
The young boy was reportedly at his home with a babysitter who also lived at the residence on Roberts Street in the Quiet Village neighborhood off Highway 12 in Vidor. The babysitter, 19-year-old Melissa Ringhardt, had been staying with the Read family: Johnny Read, parents Kayla and Joe Read, an 18-month old toddler and a 6-month old baby, for approximately two months and had been left in charge of Johnny and his six-month old sibling at the time the shooting occurred, deputies reported.
Initially, Ringhardt told investigators that she was in another room of the residence and went to check on the children after hearing a noise. Upon questioning, however, Ringhardt admitted to investigators that she had actually been napping in the bedroom of the house and could not find Johnny Read when she awoke. She then reportedly discovered the boy deceased on the floor of the living room with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. She told investigators that she had been carrying the weapon around the house in the waistband of her pants because she was scared to be alone at the residence. The homeowners' owned the gun and presumably allowed her access to the weapon, which they normally stored in a safe at the home, Hodgkinson said. When she went to the bedroom to sleep, she took the gun from her waistband where she was carrying it and placed it on the coffee table in the living room where the 5-year-old boy had easy access to the loaded weapon, according to OCSO.
After finding the boy injured on the floor of the living room, Ringhardt took Johnny Read and the baby to their grandparents' house on nearby Scott Road because the residence on Roberts had no telephone. Emergency responders rushed to the scene but were unable to revive the boy, who was pronounced deceased by Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Judge Rodney Price. The child was transported to the Jefferson County Morgue for an autopsy.
"We don't know all the details," Hodgkinson said on Oct. 21, also indicating the investigation was ongoing and charges could follow.
The very next day, OCSO deputies reported they arrested Ringhardt at approximately 3 p.m. at a residence off Willow Bend Drive in Vidor without incident. She was booked into the Orange County Jail for abandoning or endangering a child, a state jail felony. She is being held on $250,000 bond.
A Facebook page originally called "Melissa Ringhardt is Guilty" but since renamed "Justice for Johnny" has emerged with the administrators of the page calling for stiff punishment of the allegedly neglectful babysitter. On another Vidor discussion board on the social network, one resident went so far as to question whether or not the child actually pulled the trigger or if the babysitter herself could have held the gun.
OCSO Chief Deputy Hodgkinson said 5-year-old Read was definitely holding the revolver when it discharged.
"We have evidence that supports that the child is actually the one that fired," Hodgkinson said. "We know he held the gun based on some evidence we had on the scene and based on some results that have come back that show he was the one who shot himself. We don't think (Ringhardt) did it or anything like that."
The investigation is not over, according to Hodgkinson, and there is still the potential more charges could be filed.
"We still have an ongoing investigation," he said on Oct. 23. "The autopsy was done. We still have to get the results back from that. We also have to thoroughly investigate the details in the case itself. I can't say right now that there will be more charges or whether there will even be more cases brought forward, but at this time we did this (made an arrest) to get the ball rolling. We still have a case to work up on some other things."
While OCSO investigators and the Orange County District Attorney's officer do their work filing criminal charges and nailing down details, CPS is also involved.
"CPS is investigating this case alongside law enforcement," said Shari Pulliam, spokesperson for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services in Beaumont. "We have placed the other two children out with a family relative, which is not uncommon in a CPS case. We do that a lot. We need to see the dynamics of the home, what was going on at the home at the time. So, while we are doing all that, we want to make sure the remaining children in the home are all safe."
Pulliam said they are just taking precautionary measures and it is no indication that the parents are in any kind of trouble.
Pulliam said she hopes the tragic accident will bring the public's attention to gun safety issues and educate to the community.
"Be very, very careful," she warned. "Guns need to be locked up at all times. They need to be under lock and key in the safe. They do not need to be left out anywhere in the house where a child can access the handgun. Whether you put it up high, children are curious. They are going to get a chair and climb up there. You can't watch them 24 hours a day, so it is better to be safe than sorry. Please keep handguns locked in a safe or in a keyed, secure place. Parents should talk to their children about guns and tell them how dangerous they are, that they are not supposed to touch them, but they also need to make sure they are always under lock and key."
Chief Deputy Hodgkinson echoed Pulliam's sentiment and offered some advice of his own.
"The No. 1 rule that we all learn as officers if we go through any specialized training in firearms is to treat every firearm as if it is loaded," he advised. "Always assume any gun, even if you know it is unloaded and you've already inspected and checked it, assume that it is loaded. Never point it in the direction of anyone even if you know it is unloaded. In a home situation where you have a gun that could be loaded and put away, in those circumstances, especially if you have children in the home, you are going to have to lock that weapon up. Keep it where they don't have access to it, where they can't get to it. Obviously, you could store it unloaded. There is a gun lock you can run through the magazine and a gun lock you can run through the barrel and even a lock you can put on the trigger itself that you have to have a key to be able to unlock that lock."
He said Johnny Read's death could have been avoided if those rules had been followed the day the young boy perished, and cautioned caretakers to be diligent when having children and guns in the same house together.
"The bad thing about 'accidental' is it could have been preventable. Kids are curious. Lock up your guns."
Memorial services for Johnny Read will be Friday, Oct. 25, at 2 p.m. at Memorial Funeral Home in Vidor.

Le Week-end
Opens Friday, March 28
1hr 33mins // directed by:Roger Michell // featuring:Jeff Goldblum, Jim Broadbent
Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent (Iris, Topsy-Turvy, Another Year) and Lindsay Duncan (About Time, Alice in Wonderland, Mansfield Park) give exquisite performances as Nick and Meg, a long-married British couple revisiting Paris for the first time since their honeymoon in an attempt to rekindle their relationship.
During a two-day escapade, diffident, wistful Nick and demanding, take-charge Meg careen from harmony to disharmony to resignation and back again as they take stock of half a lifetime of deep tenderness -- and even deeper regret. A surprise invitation from Nick's old friend Morgan (Jeff Goldblum), an amusingly eccentric American academic with a fancy Parisian address, soon leads them to an unexpectedly hopeful vision of what their love and marriage might still become.
This magically buoyant, bittersweet romantic comedy, starring two of Britain's national treasures, is a new peak in the ongoing collaboration between screenwriter Hanif Kureishi and director Roger Michell, following Venus and The Mother.

Unions to spend heavily on state, local races
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's largest labor federation plans to shift more of its political resources into state and local campaigns next year.
AFL-CIO political director Michael Podhorzer says mid-term election spending is expected to be at the same or greater level as the 2010 campaign cycle, when the AFL-CIO spent more than $53 million on federal and state races.
Top targets for defeat include Republican governors in Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, where unions have fought efforts to curb collective bargaining rights.
Podhorzer says the focus on state campaigns doesn't mean labor leaders are ignoring the mid-term congressional races. He says labor's political efforts will also boost Democrats in key congressional districts.
The federation represents 57 unions and about 12 million members.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—A Minnesota grocery chain says Twinkies and other Hostess snacks are flying off the shelves as the manufacturer shuts down.
Eden Prairie-based Supervalu owns 44 Cub Foods stores in Minnesota. Spokesman Michael Siemienas tells Minnesota Public Radio ( http://bit.ly/S7YneX) they've seen a surge in people purchasing Hostess products like Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread.
Siemienas says the stores won't be resupplied with Hostess products, so once the supplies are gone, they're gone.
Hostess Brands Inc. filed a motion Friday with a federal bankruptcy court, seeking permission to shut down. The move comes after the company says striking workers across the country crippled its ability to maintain production.
The company plans to liquidate its assets starting Tuesday, but some products are expected to find a second life with other manufacturers.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A baby Jesus figure taken from a Pennsylvania church's Nativity scene last year was found cradled in the arms of a nearby statue, just hours before the replacement statue was swiped.
The vintage figurine was taken last year from outside Chambersburg's Central Presbyterian Church. It was found Sunday in the arms of a bronze Civil War soldier statue across the town square.
A local business had replaced the Jesus statue when the Nativity scene was set up a couple weeks ago. The Chambersburg Public Opinion (http://bit.ly/11yfQ5C ) reports that replacement statue was swiped sometime after services on Sunday.
Congregant Buffy Super calls the statue's return a "Christmas miracle." Another says the church will have to considering securing the statue to deter theft.

Add to my Roku
Pluto drops RT. How much did the NSA pay this sellout channel to do that?
I still can get live RT by downloading the app RT to my apple phone
First RT vanished from Roku proper and now has vanished from Pluto. How can I watch it. I do not have cable.
I am wondering if we have to leave this swamp and move to Russia to have freedom.
If you love it and its a positive thing, it is a target of destruction. I think RT is too good for usa.
It takes lies and or gays to take down RT.
RT was tossed from Pluto. shame. Pluto could have made a base of loyalists. Instead the developer took the low road so RT got cut. You can see it on YOU Tube. I tried sling/ala cart but they offer nothing but the worst news.
Find RT on YOU TUBE. And wonder how long YOU TUBE will tolerate the truth, Real truth RT
Roku has RT in the coup. YOU TUBE has RT on ROKU. sling does not have it, not even ala carte. Too bad Pluto dropped it, they lost loyal fans that would have stayed and paid.
Wifi, is the only access that I now have.
I love RT!!!!!!!! Roku did the wrong it. You see, I dropped cable tv over a decade ago because I hate mainstream media so much. Now this??? You think I am alone? No way. Now Roku goes mainstream and, so, they have given me the incentive to go with one of their competitors. People like me are growing in numbers, but we are continuously being alienated who seem to think our numbers aren't big enough. Well, Roku, when you finally find out how many of us there are it will be too late to maintain the dominance you presently own in this fledgling market. Keep a politics-neutral position to satisfy your patrons or…. sabotage the product's image.
What happened to RT on ROKU??? Is this some kind of anti-Russian hysteria? RT is great! It's the best news service in the world! ROKU without RT sucks!!!
Want RT back on Roku! It was the primary reason I purchased a Roku … was an easy connection. Seems fishy why access removed … back to laptop connection viewing and less need for Roku much less need for Roku.
An entire month's worth of customer dissatisfaction comments here and still not a peep from ROKU. Talk about customer service!
RT no longer works in Canada. It says Sorry, this channel is no longer in service.
I also watch on pluto. I feel roku is a sell out and is on the wrong side of free speech! I will be cancelling my roku subscription if RT does not make its way back to my channels!
I watch almost daily. Only got Roku less than a month ago. I will return Roku and get something else before I put up with this leftist censorship crap.
[…] https://www.rokuchannels.tv/rt/ […]
Unfortunately I can't get Pluto. Perhaps it is not available on Roku in Canada. At least I can get it on my computer. A small saving grace. It certainly for me at least makes Roku somewhat useless now. Thanks for all the helpful posts.
Is Pluto available in Canada? If so, how do I get it? It's not listed in the ROKU channels or recognized in the search. I'm very cross about this. The US may have a long standing beef with Russia but Canada doesn't. Has ROKU decided to marginalize its Canadian customers? I
Yes my feelings exactly. Pluto is not available in Canada and I can watch it on my computer. Sort of defeats for me the idea of being able to watch it on tv though, the reason I got a Roku.
Add private channel SJTV to get RT and lots of other news channels- http://streamfree.tv/roku-channels/private/all/sjtv-236-thread.html
steven is right,
"…Rt is on the Pluto channel on ROKU… and it always seems to come in better on the pluto channel on roku."
Pluto TV is a channel available on ROKU.
Just add it to your channels. Then start Pluto TV. You'll see a TV guide. Under 'News' find RT and start it.
I've done so and I'm thrilled.
And like steven said, it comes through faster and way better.
If RT is blocked on Roku by ANY politically motivated order, it will be the end of me using the Roku service.
I agree. I hope this is a temporary mistake.
Please let me know what RT says. I am finding this very upsetting. And I agree, if Roku had anything to do with this I will simply disconnect it.
watch on pluto
I agree with you.
Right now I'm chromecasting RT from my Android tablet to my kitchen TV.
What would be a good alternative to Roku?
I don't think that Amazon Fire TV has RT on the channel lineup.
Rt is on the Pluto channel on ROKU
Yes. I thought you were being funny.
It is. And I already have it setup.
It always seems to come in better on the pluto channel on roku
Well I am in Canada and suddenly this morning it was unavailable. I can't help but think it is political and thus an attempt to censor my ability to get alternative news sources so I can make up my own mind. What I also find very irksome is the inability to contact Roku to find out what happened.
I sent the same request directly to RT. Let's see.
I am in Washington DC roku is not available suddenly. I agree I am very displeased. I would like to know why?
I, too, am very displeased that RT is suddenly unavailable on Roku in Kansas. What's up? Is this a technical problem? Or a political one? Tom's mention of it is the only one I can find by a search.
When did RT become "unavailable" in my area. Is this an action by Roku or by the US or Canadian government? I am very displeased.
