In the 13 cases which he was prosecuted for, 27 inocent people were killed and many victims have been suffering from aftereffect. He deserves to be a death sentence because he was convicted of a mastermaind of all cases. Still,seven years and ten months since the first trial is too long. Not a few victims were dead before they knew the sentence. Although it is a unprecedent case, the delay is partly due to the change of the court-appointed attonies and inefficient trial. It can be said that the efforts of judges,prosecuters and attonies were insufficient. All concerned have to pursue why this case extended over a long period in order not to repeat this failure. They have to learn a lesson from this case. Despite the long time it has taken, the truth has not come out. This seems to increase the unsatisfactory for the trial and empty feeling. It is a pity that the accused Matsumoto didn't express an excuse, to say nothing of an apology. All we can do is to expect him to change his mind. Since the stage of investigation, the indictment for each crime has had priority. And the elucidation of the background of the case and the dark side of the religious group was one step behind. This is a big problem because it is far from the truth to conclude that it was due to the Asahara's greed or insanity or to guess by religious argument. All in all, this incident was that the youngsters who were invited by charismatic character of Asahara and his faked supernatural power pretending religious retuals fell into group hypnotic trance and and were driven to terror acts. Although prosecutors pointed out that they intented to overthrow the goverment, the process that they acquired real estates, the oppotunity and aim that they began their armament, the reason that they advanced to Russia and whether someone behind Asahara existed or not, have not been clarified. Experts have repeatedly pointed out the trend that youngsters who cannot find out the target of their passion are easily invited to religious groups or cultic groups. Unless we build the society with full of dream and hope, the risk of the reoccurance of this incident won't go out. *Shokou Asahara's Aum Shinrikyo Cult did a sarin nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway system, which killed 12 people and injured more than 5500 march 20,1995.This is one of the first cases that poison nerve gas was used in a terror attack against inocent people without military purpose.

AVB – half time report
We're just over halfway through the Premier League season, so it seems a good time to make a general assessment of life under André Villas-Boas. I'll try to keep it brief.
It is no secret that I grew to despise Redknapp – the way he treated us (fans), the club, and actually the way he was managing the team for the final six months of his reign too. I wrote this at the end of April detailing some of my thoughts on Redknapp – things went further downhill from there.
When Villas-Boas was appointed, I was happy; a young, hungry manager keen to prove his doubters wrong, an analyst, a "student of the game".
I already like most of what AVB is about – his analytical approach, his even-handedness with the media, his pleasantries when mentioning our fans, his apparent respect for the fact that he is a cog (albeit an important one) in a greater machine, something Redknapp never seemed to appreciate.
Of course not everything is totally rosy, and there have been some teething problems – initially AVB was criticised for his use of substitutions, and in recent games his persistence with Adebayor and Defoe as a duo has frustrated. However, the results have largely been impressive, particularly considering the well-documented injury issues, as well as having to cope without King, Modric and van der Vaart. We are improving in crucial areas -for example, looking far more threatening from set pieces (indeed, scoring from another two yesterday), which presumably reflects the fact that we are practising them in training.
It also seems that people behind the scenes are pulling in the same direction, which I think is hugely important. This was never the case with Redknapp, who refused to toe the party line, and frequently seemed at odds with Daniel Levy.
Crucially, I am finally starting to feel like I, as a fan, am a part of the club again (whereas Redknapp seemed to see us – "them" – as more of an annoyance). Long may this continue.
Nail on the head. It's all about the team rather than him, something which is so refreshing after having had redknapp for 4 years. Like a boas!
I agree with a lot of what has been said, but I don't like slating HR to much. What he gave us was special, the CL games, the wins over CFC and AFC after so many years. He is self serving, but maybe after years of being in this fickle game you become bitter with it all.
I agree, I love AVB his style his tactics away from home, basically everything he gets criticised for. He has not yet had chance to put his own emphasis on the team as transfers such as; ade, Mouse, Lloris, siggy were all ongoing before his arrival(with vert completing his signing beforehand) considering his circumstances with the injures and the loss of players though transfers he is proving everybody wrong, what a great manager he seems to be, agree with everything you've said about Harry.
I agree. Harry is a manager of small clubs, Portsmaouth, Southampton West Ham now QPR he could not handle the Big team in the long run He had great short term succes but could not see the big picture. AVB and Fruend are molding a dynasty signing the right players and promoting some of our superb young talent something that Harry never did
I wasn't thrilled at the appointment of AVB but am warming to him game by game.
But seriously the 'Arry 'ating needs to stop. You got your wish (it wasn't mine) so should move on. Like he has.
Yeah,totally agree.He still has to win over the Arry die hards (most of them seem to want to say I told you so when AVB fails)Its looking good and the relationship he has with Levy seems first class.Still waiting to fuck up though,its in the genes.
Good post. As a man I'm far more comfortable with AVB, and I feel out club is in much better hands long term.
My only issue is it sometimes feels people think Redknapp sold Pav, let the others go on loan in January and bought the two old men, but Levy screwed AVB in the summer window.
Maybe Redknapp was equally hamstrung?
Levy probably did, but anyone can see why on hindsight! Harry made it pretty clear he would ditch us should England come calling, plus the possibility of him going to jail! Would you spend millions on players that might not get you CL football, and then a new manager does not want them?
Agree 100% with your article.
Considering AVB has had to rebuild our team he has worked miricles.
When you look at the number of players that were missing from all or a major part of the season it's hard to work out how he's done it.
King retired
Kaboul injured all season
Modric Sold
VDV Sold
Ekotto injured most of the season
Adebayor missed over 10 matches through injury
Parker missed most of the season.
As always Windy, well thought out and I totally agree. I was so pleased we got AVB and felt he was treated despicably at Chelsea. He is all that is good about the modern game and modern sport in general.
Early days but appointing AVB may turn out the best thing Levy has ever done.
Good to see Spurs fans rallying around AVB ..he has all the attributes to be a great manager for us and the one to oversee the transition to the new stadium where the funding is still in the balance . AVB is modest , treats all competitions with equal respect , gets on well with the hierarchy , players and fans and is bringing in some exciting new prospects . He is tactically astute and in the use of the high line and pressing game has meant we now dominate every game . Remember how we use to get overrun in midfield by City and United ? That won't happen again as Sandro and Dembele are the best midfield in the Premier league arguably .
And you need to know this .. The inside story was Harry and Daniel fell out after the tax trial and the relationship fractured .. Harry knew Levy had lined up Ancelotti as a replacement if he had been convicted and levy knew that Harry was desperate to take over England . We now have a calm and settled future . And my wife thinks AVB has lovely eyes .. Well there you go …
I have to be honest here. I was completely against AVB at first. And I still have questions. Although he has gone up massively in my expectations I still feel our team is under performing. Recent results have been tough and I think we are winning with the thinnest of margins. Having said all this I now believe we could have great things next season. With Damaio, moutinho, Zaha, we could be a real force next year. I do hope we are still trying for Willian too.
Thinnest of margins? You not back from your mums after Christmas yet?
Haha. What I am saying is that we have ground out some of the results and I have not seen 1 really convincing performance. I can remember about 5-6 really good performances at the beginning of last season once we got moving that is. We have been improving this season but I feel we are still in 3rd gear. I'm not saying we have been playing badly! Just not to the potential our current squad could be playing at.
Agreed. I think we should blast past small teams by "at least" a two goal margin.
Just glad not to have our business aired out of a car window every five minutes. Also delighted that cliques seem a thing of the past. HR's treatment of those 'not in our gang' was shameful at times.
I am fully behind AVB and finally see a long term vision of Tottenham moving towards a really competitive team.
Sorry but I am not going to stop 'Arry 'Ating any time soon. I will not forgive him for his treatment of our fans and his total ineptitude in the final parts of both the last two seasons he led us.
It is great to have a manager who wants to improve us as a club rather than promote his own agenda whatever the cost to the club that gave him his chance at the big time.
Back to small scale fire fighting Arry
Serves you right for not appreciating what you had
Oh go on then, I'll get involved too! Couldn't agree more. Why oh why do people keep saying that if it wasn't for the England thing? It's such utter rubbish. Redknapp brought that on himself but much more importantly the slump happened the year before (almost identically). It happened when he was at Portsmouth too. He just can't rotate or generally manage for s*&t! It had nothing to do with England. All he can do, literally ALL, is to get a load of older professionals who don't need managing a little bit more motivated. No squad management, no man management (which is how you manage the players not involved, not the ones who play every week which is easy), no tactics, dodgy tax evader, self-publicist, one trophy in 30 years, the list goes on and on! Ugh! Thank god he's gone, hopefully for good.
That was the problem with Redknapp. What he did he did for himself. Of course what was best for him often coincided with what was best for the club. But when it didn't the club came last.
with ole arry it always felt like a rag and bone man from east london had crashed the party,
Arry didn't belong at spurs and he knew it,
Agree with poster about Redknapp hating brigade giving it a rest although (as one of them) it's tough when there still seem to be a large minority who want him back! But I won't go there this time other than to say it's so nice not to be linked with Joe Cole ever again! I really like AVB, have a lot of time for him, and most importantly think he's learned a lot from Chelsea in the way he's dealing with the transition from one style to his own and the press (which required huge dignity considering the s*&t he had to put up with). Loving having two hot prospect signings already and can't wait for the next few months.
Enjoyed reading both this article and the comments. I was mildly pleased by his appointment; he was not given a chance at Chelsea. Jury may still be out but there seems to be enough support for a strong majority already. AVB needs time and at Spurs we, the fans, and the chairman seem to be willing to give it to him.
This time next year we will really know what sort of a coach we have, but so far so good. I do feel that we have a cohesive team off the field too; if we can get a period of stability and a new ground we may stop lurching from near success to near disaster. PS would be interesting to know how SF is fitting in to all this. He certainly seems as committed as any fan – is he a season ticket holder from the Shelf in disguise?
STEFFEN IS A FAN SOME PEOPLE will remember about 7or 8yrs ago steff in with his 2 sons with full spurs kit and him with his scarf brilliant !
But i still get wound up by so called spurs fans especially at home away the fans luv AVB simply because they luv there spurs and understand i think football a bit more
i am a season tic holder in the paxton and just cannot understand some of the morons in there slagging the side off the same also slaughtering him for playing 1 up front now 2 up front dont hear them saying anything because they are new age supporters/twats who seem to know a little about footie!!!!
Ade seems to be in his second year syndrome
I for 1 hated harry for 4yrs years arse luver who hated us mine started when spurs played portsmouth and done his usual gobbing off in the papers calling us scum/animals when dear arseSOL was still there
2 things came out last yr in jan 1 was england when he had no compition [so he thought]
the other was EHazard who he couldnt be bothered to visit to seal a deal because in his words i wont be here at the end of the season 2meetings at the end solved that
Thank god we dont have that prat every 5 mins on the telly
with his harrys luv in with the press we wont have no more nevelles,campballs,jameis one year then not making up his mind another year when trying to buy a forward changing his mind day to day fact as well!!!! and didnt know whether to laugh or cry with the chavs wednesday
please redcrapp luvers dont come back with he took us to champions league please we should have completed for the title with that team and 1 something?????????
He who chases two rats(tot nd england jobs) at a time,will end up killing NONE. That was what happened to Arry @ TOT.He should have made his decision when he still could. I am very pleased with his sacking and also with AVB's appointment.
Anyway,to Arry we say welldone!
yes, ole 'arry lost his focus ere. But the current squad still needs strengthening.
Listen guys … We loved Harry when we were destroying the best teams in Europe and playing some of the best football even seen at the Lane , but Harry's time has come and gone .. As they say , the king is dead , long live the king and AVB ..
And just to finally end up with a laugh at our friends down the Seven Sisters rd .. My inside info is that Walcott was gone 2 weeks ago ..now wouldn't that be special if he leaves the Arse in total disarray as we signed one of Wengers principle targets in Holtby ? Three cheers for Daniel .
I didn't like Harry when he came to Spurs, I saw him as a small time manager who appeared more trouble than he was worth, he quickly turned our fortunes around and I had to begrudginly admit he was what the club needed at that time, well done Levy. Then he took us to places we had previousley only dreamed of, let's be honest our expectations have irevocably changed from looking forward to challenging for europa spots to almost expecting champion league spots. Then of course that february happened and court cases and england jobs marred his tenure until ultimately we lost enough to get rid.
I didnt like Harry's attitude or style, but that didnt make him a bad manager, I think he made many improvements to the club and that we are better off having had him as manager. My point is, I'm a spurs fan, my liking the manager or not isnt going to change that and has very little baring on the subject. I like spurs, I like it when spurs win, if having harry as manager means spurs win then i like having harry as manager, but no where do i have to like harry.
I didn't like AVB when he started, I felt he was the best of bad choices, I think the fact that the players stuck by him says a lot though, he's slowly changing my mind, but i just do not like the idea that a club can win 1-0 in the premier league. This hasnt been true in over 20 years, even when leeds and arsenal had a habit of winning 1-0 they had spent a large portion of the matches trying to get a killer second. With football these days its changed to a killer third. Happily we seem to have gotten out of that frame of mind and this has warmed me to AVB, but my warming to him hasnt suddenly put us in third place, it might actually be that he really does know what he is doing.
I liked Ardiles, he was not good for the club. I liked Hoddle, could have gone either way. I liked Venables, but ultimately was bad for the club, I didnt like graham, ramos, gross or santini and stand by that, i didnt like francis, but he did make improvements. because of all this I am always distrusting of managers who have likeable assistants (Santini, Ramos, AVB) but as you can see above, my liking of managers or their deputies has very little say in our success. All I can hope is that we spend every minute on the pitch trying to score another goal rather than trying to avoid conceding one.
Well said, Windy. You've about hit the nail on the head for me. I'll admit that I was wary of hiring AVB, even if I had always admired him since his Porto days. 'arry really held us back for as far as he took us. I think good, ballsy move by Levy, though. Clive Allen has even come out and said that yes the England job speculation probably ruined our season. It's just remarkable to be a Spurs fan now. There are so many things I feel great about. We have a new training facility, a new coach/assistant coach, a new stadium on the way, and the team atmosphere seems to be amazing. The future is looking bright..
[…] sentence is something that the mainstream media have seemingly only just started to recognise. I blogged on AVB's start at Spurs last week; in a nut shell, I'm delighted with the way things have gone so […]

Harry never treated himself like a Spur, always referring the club as "them" and himself independently. He was always going to jump ship. AVB has a bright future, but Levy must back him up even more

text: Friday morning, eighth graders at St. Kevin School got a lesson in flag folding, as well as the proper way to both fly and take down an American flag, as Capt. Ian Friel of the Air National Guard, also a 1996 St. Kevin graduate, visited. The school formerly kept the flag up all the time but recently realized flags should not be up at night unless they are illuminated. As a result, they decided to create "Patriot" teams in order to maintain the integrity of the flag. Each morning, two students raise the flag and take it down in the afternoon. During the lesson, Friel helped Victoria Ferri, 13 (left), and Angelina Olivieri, 13, with the flag folding. As they raised and lowered the flag, he told them to make sure they kept the flag from touching the ground. If a flag hits the ground, he said, it is considered dirty and must be laundered before erecting. Principal Roger Parent, eighth grade homeroom teacher David Irving and Parish Pastor Fr. Robert "Fr. Bob" Marciano attended the event. "This is good for the eighth graders because they are the leaders of the school," Fr. Marciano said. "We look upon them to take a leadership role."

From Behind the Bar: On Crappy Bars
Tales from our resident bartender.

So You Want to Open a Bar »
What I'm Drinking:
El Buho Mezcal (rocks, with a splash of lime juice and dash of sugar)
Good bars are good and bad bars are bad, and it is an unfortunate fact of life that the world will always be populated with more of the bad ones. The characteristics that define a good bar include care, craft, community, ambiance, and service, all of which require that someone in the organization cares enough about the place to put in the work to make it run the way it should. All of these take constant attention that many places simply can't (or won't) maintain.
To be clear, when I say 'bad bar,' I don't mean 'a bar that I don't like'. There are millions of joints in the world, and hundreds of millions of people who frequent them. I am only me, and I know that every bar was not designed to cater to my specific preferences. If I don't watch sports, I probably won't like a sports bar. If I didn't drink beer, I probably wouldn't be impressed by the options at the corner pub. I have walked into many a bar knowing that it was successful in its intentions while also knowing that I was not its target audience.
Bars that are actually bad are ones that do nothing right, or ones that fail spectacularly at the list of qualities that make a bar good. I have been in dive bars that are so disgusting that they cross the boundary between dirty and unhygienic. I have been in cocktail lounges with service so horrendous that I regret having walked through the door in the first place. Many joints I've seen have been so mediocre that one wonders why anyone bothers to belly up to the bar in the first place.
I've written at length about good bars, but have lately been thinking about the qualities that make one bad. A few common problems rear their ugly heads:
Poor Service: Anyone who has read this column knows that I believe hospitality is the most important part of what a bar has to offer. That said, hospitality is delivered by people, and people sometimes have bad days, so I approach every bad service experience I have knowing that the person in front of me may have just lost their beloved cat. Some places, though, seem to celebrate the fact that you will always be treated poorly at their establishment. Many bars have bartenders that are famous for being rude, nasty, inattentive, or even violent. Fancy cocktail bars allow their staffs to look down on people who order the "wrong" bourbon. Surly, rude, or indifferent bartenders can kill what would otherwise be a perfectly fine joint.
Poor Atmosphere: The lights are too bright. My table is dirty. No one is telling the man screaming obscenities to his buddy to take it outside. No one has noticed that the music stopped ten minutes ago, and we're all drinking our beers in silence. I can forgive a messy joint if it's Friday and the place is packed, but getting the atmosphere wrong on a consistent basis means that the staff and the ownership just don't care.
Poor Execution: I don't walk in to most bars and expect a decent cocktail, but I do walk in expecting something. The worst of the bad bars are those that are clearly there because the owners heard that selling booze makes money, and nothing is required aside from opening the doors and cracking a beer from time to time. As a bartender, this is the sin that offends me the most, the sin of ignorant opportunism.
While I yearn for the day that I can walk in to any bar in the country and get a decent Old Fashioned, I know that day is not today. Short of that, I'll take each place I enter for what it's worth, and hope that it has some quality that redeems it. Many don't, which makes me appreciate the places I love all the more.

Major new road approved for west Preston
Plans to improve motorway access in north Preston have been agreed, as part of a new road scheme known as the Preston Western Distributor.
The aim is to provide a major new link from the M55, along the west side of Preston towards Blackpool Road and Riversway.
The plans agreed yesterday, Wednesday 4 October, by Lancashire County Council's Development Control Committee also include two connecting roads linking to new and existing housing areas of North West Preston and Cottam.
Following the planning approval, the next steps will be to acquire the land and other preparatory work, as well as confirm the final budget and the construction schedule.
These new roads will help to promote new housing and business development in the area, while reducing congestion and increasing capacity on the existing road network.
There will also be opportunities for new bus priority measures, improvements to local public areas and initiatives to encourage walking and cycling.
The scheme is one of several major road schemes in the Preston, South Ribble and Lancashire City Deal.
County Councillor Keith Iddon, Cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "We want to help people get around while reducing congestion in parts of the road network. This planned new road is an important part of improving people's journeys, which will also bring new people into the area, link to new housing developments and deliver new economic growth.
"We've just opened the Broughton Bypass and we recently had approval for the Penwortham Bypass. We've now got approval for the Preston Western Distributor, which makes this a very positive time with major changes taking place on the road network across Preston and South Ribble.
"It's clear that the area is changing and growing, which means that we also need to improve the road network to accommodate increasing numbers of vehicles in the future, while also helping to promote growth and create new jobs."
This scheme is possible thanks to funding from central government, via the Preston, South Ribble and Lancashire City Deal.
The City Deal is an agreement between the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Preston City Council, South Ribble Borough Council and Lancashire County Council, along with central government and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
Councillor Peter Rankin, Leader of Preston City Council, said: "The Preston Western Distributor is another key step in the growth and development of Preston. It offers the opportunity to ease congestion and create greater links to new housing developments, but it also demonstrates City Deal's continuing commitment to investing in the city's infrastructure and support for economic growth."
The Preston Western Distributor is a 4.3km dual carriageway linking the A583 at Lea to the M55 at Bartle with a new motorway junction.
The East West Link Road will be a 3.4km long single carriageway road linking Lightfoot Lane to the Preston Western Distributor, with separate foot and cycle ways along its full length.
As part of the Preston Western Distributor, a single carriageway road will be created to Cottam Way. Known as the Cottam Link Road, it will join the Preston Western Distributor just north of the Lancaster Canal.
City Deal will help to deliver new infrastructure, new homes and more jobs over the next ten years. It will help to create more than 20,000 new private sector jobs and see over 17,000 new homes built across the area, along with new school places, open green spaces and new health provision to cater for the growing population.
The scheme will provide direct access to the housing areas in North West Preston proposed in the adopted Central Lancashire Core Strategy and Preston Local Plan 2012-2026 and detailed in the Preston City Council's published North West Preston Masterplan.

I came in from class the other night and told my wife my stomach was a little upset. She said "what did you eat to cause that?" I said, "no, it wasn't that." I'm pretty sure I had my butt over my head a few too many times. I was teaching the snake form to some of the more bouncy students, and a lot younger. I hit 62 in May. The snake form has 2 cartwheels, 2 forward rolls, 3sideways rolls, plus the regular stuff.
So, after a few times I really do know how old I am. And I'm not sure if after class I did really use both hands to find my butt or got it with one the first time. Yet I'm pretty happy I was still able to do the thing.
So hey! You can all be masters. Just fill in the blank: I've got _________ more years to practice. And I can truly think I am a master. If not, at least you know you're old.

*** This is handmade and one-of-a-kind ***Item weight: 68.70 oz.Size: 205mm x 75mm x 50mm
Description: This exceptional Suita polish stone was mined prior to WW2. It is a very large stone - approx. 205mmx75mmx50mm (8.1in.x3in.x2in.). Stones of this size and quality were always rare. Today, these stones are unheard of. This light toned suita natural polish stone will leave a beautiful mist and haze finish. With a little practice you will be amazed at how sharp you can hone your fine blade. You can use it with or without slurry and it will give fantastic results.
This stone was quarried in the mountains north of Kyoto and is classified as a suita stone. Suita's "Su" means nest (of a bee, beehive) and "Ita" (means board or layer). It is the name of the layer in the mine from which the stone was quarried. Usually any mine will have this layer. The stones from this layer have beehive-like holes or flaws that were created by the gas being let through. These holes sometimes have hard particles that would scratch the blade, which needs to be dug out prior to using or avoided. Because these stones are very fast cutting, suita stones are favored by many woodworkers, chefs, and carpenters who sharpen their tools regularly. Also the lighter color of the Suita stones make it easier to see how much steel is being cut, because you can see the slurry getting black. This is quite important once you get used to natural stone sharpening and is why lighter colored stones are usually more expensive. It's not just the aesthetic value. Suita stones with light brown "burn (Yake)" have higher cutting strength and are generally preferred over red burns as these are sometimes too hard and will scratch.Despite the excellent performance of synthetic stones, many experienced sharpeners still prefer natural stones for sharpening their finest blades. Natural stones can bring out a blade�s full potential and allow the sharpening process itself to become a pleasant ritual. The finest stones from the Honyama quarries around mount Atago in the Kyoto area are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Natural Japanese stones are soaked in water prior to use but should not be stored in water like some synthetic stones. Following best practices, the sides of this stone have been lacquered. This aids the stone to keep structural strength while soaking. Natural stones have slight natural imperfections and may vary somewhat in size. You will find that different parts of the stone can work steel differently. Through experience with a stone, you find what might be considered a sweet spot.

There is good news in the continuing hunt for Earth-like planets. Astronomers have long known that large "gas giant" planets such as Jupiter are more likely to form in environments rich in "metals," or elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. A new study has revealed, however, that small, rocky planets can develop in
orbit around stars that vary widely in heavy element content.
Astrophysicist Lars A. Buchhave of the Niels Bohr Institute and the Centre for Star and Planet Formation, University of Copenhagen, and twenty-eight colleagues used data from the Kepler spacecraft and ground-based observatories to examine the elemental composition of 152 stars harboring 226 planets, most of which are smaller than Neptune. A star and its planets form from the same cloud of gas and dust, so their elemental contents match closely. Stars with more heavy elements are known to favor the rise of Jupiter-like gas giant planets, which have large cores of rocky material. It had previously been thought that smaller rocky planets of terrestrial size might also need metal-rich parent stars: after all, heavy stuff, including silicon and iron, largely makes up our own Earth.
As it turns out, "terrestrial" planets are not so picky about where they form. In the study's sample, such planets formed near stars with anywhere from as much as three times the Sun's "metallicity" to as little as one-fourth.
At the low end, having fewer heavy elements on hand might slow the growth of the massive cores needed for gas giants. The results suggest, according to Buchhave, that "small planets could be very, very common." (Nature)

There are some genuinely enlightening revelations from the census. For example, though GNOME is a "volunteer" project, and 70% of the developers identify themselves as volunteers, 70% of the commits are made by paid developers. Independent volunteers still represent the biggest block of developers, but as former Red Hat employee Greg DeKoenigsberg is eager to point out, Red Hat developers are responsible for 16% of committed code, the biggest commercial contribution, and much bigger than GNOME mindshare-leader Canonical (with 1%). Many of the other top commercial developers are from consulting firms that rely on GNOME.
The Census takes an interesting look at module-by-module contribution, looking at which ones are primarily volunteer-maintained, which ones are collaborated on by competitors, and which are maintained largely by one commercial entity. It's a fascinating read.

For some scrap processors looking to expand their operations in the glowing scrap metal markets of the past few years, it must seem like hard times when they are dealing with recalcitrant local officials and hysterical neighbors.
Unfortunately for scrap metal recyclers, such hopes and plans often face insurmountable hurdles. The nimby (not-in-my-back-yard) mentality often is so overwhelming and so hostile that some have decided it's better to walk away and not endure the slings and arrows of outraged neighbors. Others have found it somewhat less so.
In Hattiesburg, Miss., a small town about 60 miles north of the Gulf Coast, the town planning commission in September approved Southern Scrap Metal Recycling Co.'s plans to locate a small feeder yard there, but told the company it would need to put in a fence and landscaping around the yard and use only designated trucking routes. A month later, the commission did an about-face and rejected the project.
Southern Scrap, a unit of European Metals Recycling Ltd. (EMR), the big British scrap recycler, operates a chain of scrapyards stretching from the Florida panhandle to New Orleans. It wanted to establish its new feeder yard on a small six-acre tract in Hattiesburg's busiest commercial zone, but the town's zoning code makes no specific mention of recycling drop-off centers. That's another way of describing what the scrap industry calls feeder yards.
Zoning laws are what lawyers call restrictive codes. In other words, they allow specified uses of land—housing in residential areas, shopping malls in commercial zones—and prohibit all other uses in each zone. Hattiesburg's full-time planner says that recycling centers like Southern Scrap's proposal are in a gray area between business and industrial uses, and the city's position is that any recycling center must be in an industrial zone.
Joel Dupre, president of Southern Scrap, said all the company wants to do is open a feeder yard. The scrap metal gathered there would be toted to its bigger processing yards in Gulfport, Miss., or New Orleans—no shredder, no balers and no shears; just a few trucks and some material handling equipment to load them.
The recycling company could appeal the planning commission's decision to the Hattiesburg City Council, but Dupre said he is not thinking about that—or about abandoning the company's plans to open a feeder yard there—because town officials have said they are willing to work with Southern Scrap to find another site that is acceptable to both the town and the company.
Southern Scrap's experience might be the exception to the rule, though. Too often, scrap recyclers face a crowd that may be only slightly less hostile than those who lined the streets of Paris in Charles Dickens' famous historical novel and cheered as their own countrymen and women were led to the guillotine.
Take the example of another scrap metal company in the Upper Midwest. It wanted to move its feeder yard to a larger tract of land in Sioux Falls, S.D., bordered by the local airport, but now is abandoning those plans, according to local newspaper reports.
TJN Enterprises Inc., a partnership of Shine Brothers Corp. and Sioux City Compressed Steel Corp., apparently has decided that it might be better to walk away than battle the new neighbors. TJN had an option to buy 32 acres of land near the airport, but that option reportedly has been dropped and the company has withdrawn an application for a conditional-use permit at the site.
The scrap company operates yards in Watertown and Yankton, S.D., as well as in Worthington, Minn., and Estherville, Spencer and Sioux City, Iowa. Most are what the company describes on its website as "feeder yards" that gather material for Shine Brothers' bigger processing yard in Spencer, a small city about 80 miles northeast of Sioux City, S.D., where the company operates a shredder and other processing equipment.
TJN wanted to relocate from its five-acre site in western Sioux Falls. Such plans are part of a concept called economic growth that normally translates into more jobs and more tax revenue for a community. But the community—in this case the neighboring landowners—demanded that the city and state re-define TJN's proposed facility as a junkyard rather than a recycling operation. The landowners in the area apparently didn't think it was a good fit for their locale, even though most feeder yards don't operate at night and they don't produce anywhere near the noise level that bigger yards with shredders and balers can make.
TJN wants to stay in Sioux Falls, a company spokesman told local reporters, but it needs to expand and it needs access to better highways and a railroad. It spent months trying to work through the process of relocating to the airport site by meeting with local officials, but after the neighbors hired a lawyer to fight the plan, city officials wilted under their threats, a TJN source said, forcing the company to abandon its plans.

Hello Houseboats! Life On Seattle's Shores
Seattle has a thriving houseboat culture with over 500 floating homes that dock upon its lakes with unobstructed views of the skyline, mountains and on a clear day an enormous volcano. Now I'm not talking about creepy, decrepit, "who would live there?" kind of homes. The houseboats of the day are not what they used to be; there is a new generation of modern and chic floating homes that just might make you consider leaving your land based dwelling behind.
Houseboats give off that carefree, romantic, in tune with nature kind of vibe that can be quite alluring to the passerby. When I read about house boaters describing their way of life it just seems like I'm missing out on something special and unique. For them there is no going back.
Most houseboats are small; there is no getting around that. They are typically between 500-1200 square feet, but don't let that deter you. We have all seen what amazing and inspirational decorating can be accomplished with space challenged homes on our Small/Cool contest throughout the years. Now don't get me wrong, they aren't all small. If you have the means there are plenty of incredibly luxurious houseboats as well: the stuff dreams are made of.
Can we land dwellers just simplify our belongings and live in a small, modern, clean space that has been dropped on the water? I'm not sure if it floats my boat just yet, but I'd like to still daydream about it. You know what they say, "the water is always bluer ...".
For those of you who have a strong affinity to be on the water and can manage in a small space, then you may have a match made in heaven. Here are some examples of the modern day floating dwellings that are docked around town these days.

City passes resolution for Shilling Street project
In a brief noontime meeting called by Blackfoot Mayor Paul Loomis on Wednesday, city leaders unanimously passed a resolution supporting a construction project for Shilling Street to the state highway.
The city will submit the project request to the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) in hope of getting federal aid for the project which is estimated to cost about $1,835,000. The city will be required to pay matching funds of $134,690.
City treasurer Heather Schild said that the money to cover the $134,690 would be available from state funds allocated to the street department and carried over from past years. She said it won't be necessary to reopen the budget.
Loomis said this stretch of Shilling Street (from Walker Street to North Bridge) is the priority for being redone, "because the gutter system has become inoperable."
Councilman Chris Jensen agreed, adding, "This is not the only street in town, but it is the only one with a high crown in middle at this point."
Loomis will sign the the project packet and submit to LHTAC for consideration by today's deadline. Loomis said it will likely be this fall before city leaders hear if the project has been approved for funding or not. If approved, the Shilling Street construction will begin in the spring/summer of 2015.

It means you're normal. Who hasn't felt a spark with someone other than their partner? Or wonders what life would have been like? I think another common something is that "new" nervous sexy feeling that one used to have prior to a committed relationship. Getting all dressed up, flirting and getting that special "zing" moment when you knew the other party was interested. NORMAL.
Fantasies = Normal. Lusting = Normal. Curiosity = Normal.
Acting on? Just remember this…while the spark may have rekindled, realize your partner may be thinking the same about his/her ex or someone else. How would you feel to know he/she was seriously contemplating getting with another? What if you walked in and found him/her in another's arms or bed?
If you would be devastated, then act as you would wish them to act. If need be, talk to your other. Plan an impromptu trip to a place neither of you has been. See something for the first time together.
If, however, you don't care whether your other was with someone else or not…then do some soul searching. Maybe the relationship isn't "the one" or maybe new boundaries need to be discussed. But, hard as it might be, you need honesty. You need to discuss your feelings with your other and who knows, maybe he/she is feeling the same thing.
But if you're just fantasizing and really have no desire for anything other than some smoking hot daydreams? Then have fun and it can stay mum.

It's a strange talent to boast of, but the Irish people have always been somewhat inventive with their swearing and cursing abilities and none more so than the native Irish speakers, who are particularly gifted.
Irish curses lose some vital ingredients when translated into English, so we feel it's only fair to give everyone the opportunity to sound out a few artistic expressions in the native tongue such as driving through a sea of lunatic drivers or shoving yourself into wedged bars full of people who refuse to move out of your way.
Here's how you handle it:
Shock, or mild exasperation
1. As ucht Dé: For God's sake! (literally "from the breast of God!")
2. In ainm Dé: In God's name! (also works well for "for God's sake!")
3. Dia ár sábháil: God save us! (a nice stand in for "WTF" or "you're f****ng kidding me!").
Ticked off at someone
1. Imigh leat: Off/away with you!
2. Gread leat: "Beat it/shove off!"
3. Imeacht gan teacht ort: "Go away and don't come back!" (literally "leaving without returning on you"…the implication being that you'd just as soon the person crawl off somewhere and die.)
4: Go hIfreann leat: "To hell with you!"
5: Go hIfreann leat a shlíomadóir lofa: "To hell with you, you rotten b*****d!"
Let 'er rip!
1. Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat: "May the cat eat you and the devil eat the cat!"
2. Go n-ithe an tochas thú: "May you be eaten by the itch!"
3. Briseadh agus brú ar do chnámha: "Breaking and crushing to your bones!"
4. Go ndéana an diabhal dréimire de cnámh do dhroma ag piocadh úll i ngairdín Ifrinn: "May the devil make a ladder of your back bones while picking apples in the garden of hell!"
5. Oinseach (female fool) or Amadan ( male fool)

Paul Postma hero in St. John's IceCaps 3-2 overtime win against Worcester SharksNHL.com @NHLdotcom
WORCESTER, Mass. - Paul Postma snapped a shot past Harry Sateri to give the St. John's IceCaps a 3-2 overtime victory over the Worcester Sharks on Saturday in American Hockey League action.
Postma, in just his second game of the season, took a pass from Jason King at the top of the face-off circle and fired a shot past Sateri for the winner.
King had done yeoman's work digging for the puck before getting it to Postma. Jason Jaffray was also awarded an assist on the play.
John Albert and Maxime Macenauer scored in regulation time for St. John's (), while Mark Dekanich made 16 saves for the win.
Travis Oleksuk and Taylor Doherty supplied the offence for Worcester (). Goaltender Harri Sateri stopped 29 shots.
Neither team scored on the power play. The IceCaps went 0-for-4 and the Sharks went 0-for-3.
Macenauer buried a loose puck at the side of the net to give the IceCaps a 1-0 lead at the 9:10-mark of the first period.
The goal by Macenauer was the first for St. John's since Eric O'Dell's game winner last Saturday against the Norfolk Admirals.
Doherty scored a soft goal at 6:14 of the second period for Worcester. Doherty skated past the IceCaps defence, to the right face-off circle, and fired a wristshot that eluded Dekanich on the blocker side.
Curt Gogol appeared put the Sharks ahead 2-1 at 8:36 of the second period, taking a nice cross-crease pass from Oleksuk. However, Gogol didn't get credit for that goal, as Oleksuk was announced as the scorer.
Albert brought the IceCaps even with just six seconds remaining in the second.
Sawada picked up a pass from Redmond behind the Sharks net and attempted a wraparound. The puck came loose to Albert in the crease, and his backhander found its way behind Sateri at 19:54.
After a scoreless third period, in which Worcester outshot St. John's 7-6, nothing was decided, forcing overtime, and Postma's heroics.

Imagine unlimited talk, text, and 4G data for only $55 per month. That is the no-contract plan that MetroPCS is offering right now on their first LTE handset, the non-Android Samsung Craft.
We don't talk about our nation's fifth largest carrier that much, but MetroPCS is expanding their 4G LTE network to a city near you and they plan to have an Android phone for it in Q1 2011, possibly as early as February.
Their 4G coverage, as last month, is limited currently to the Las Vegas, Dallas-Ft Worth, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia metro areas. That 4G coverage is expected to expand to Sacramento, Central Florida, Boston, North Florida, South Florida, San Francisco, Atlanta, and New York City by the end of 2010 to the early 2011. Full 4G LTE roll-out in all the MetroPCS service areas is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
To put that in perspective, MetroPCS should cover roughly 110 million people with their 4G LTE network this year, about the same size as Verizon and their newly launched 4G network.
MetroPCS did not announce who would produce their first Android LTE phone, but they did say it would support VoLTE (voice over LTE) technology so they can migrate customers from its CDMA network to its LTE network.
Samsung produced the first LTE handset for MetroPCS so chances are high we could see them also release an Android model. Rumors have suggested we could see a Galaxy S type device with LTE support sometime early next year, so we will continue to dig for more details.
For more info on MetroPCS, hit up their official web site and check out their plans.

Anthony Schiavo '13 has big plans. The theater graduate is in the Big Apple to hone his stage management skills at the elite Juilliard School—where performers like Patti LuPone, Wynton Marsalis, Bebe Neuwirth, and Mandy Patinkin have launched careers.
It all started with Phantom of the Opera. After seeing the musical as an eighth-grader, the New Jersey teenager was hooked. He enrolled at Suffolk with plans to work in theatre, though he wasn't sure where to focus. Professors quickly noticed his stage management skills. "Sophomore year, my adviser and professor called and asked if I'd like to stage manage Forever, Briefly, an evening of three one-act plays by Thornton Wilder," he recalls. "It was my first big job at Suffolk. From then on, I knew: The best way to learn is to be thrown right in."
That professor was Abbie Katz, who is currently touring the world with Einstein on the Beach, an opera with music by Philip Glass. "To have her at my disposal to learn from was truly inspiring," Schiavo says.
With her encouragement, Schiavo pursued stage management because the work is so pivotal. A stage manager liaises between the director, actors, and behind-the-scenes personnel to ensure everything runs smoothly. "You're with the play from first rehearsal until the final curtain. You're the only person who has to know everything about every department," he explains. "You're constantly communicating different needs. You bring people together."
And demanding, too. At the urging of Katz and other professors, he stage-managed several shows each school year. It wasn't easy to balance schoolwork with the stage, but Schiavo says that the experience was invaluable. "Once I had five classes and did three shows in one semester," he says. "There were times when they overlapped, and it was tough to prioritize. But it's been incredibly rewarding—I'm doing what I love."
That dedication paid off. Before long, he was working on professional productions throughout Boston. He's managed shows at the Central Square Theater, the Boston Children's Theatre, the Fresh Ink Theatre, and the Theatre Offensive. He's also raised money for the New York fundraising organization "Broadway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS." Through his charity work, he came to know the Broadway company of his favorite show, Phantom—which, in turn, offered him opportunities to observe the stage managers and backstage crew at work.
Juilliard selected Schiavo for its prestigious Professional Intern Program. "I'll be working on huge productions—opera, dance, and classic Shakespeare—alongside the best of the best in New York," he says.
While he plans to make Broadway connections and remain in New York City, he won't forget his Suffolk roots. "I've never felt so supported. Whenever I had a question or didn't know how to do something, my professors were always there to help."

Details on how the $50.5 billion package of recovery and related aid for victims of Superstorm Sandy and other federally declared disasters is to be spent:
- $16 billion for Housing and Urban Development Department community development block grants. Of that, $12.1 billion is for Sandy recovery as well as for projects in states with other federally declared disasters in 2011-2013; while $3.9 billion is solely for Sandy-related projects. HUD community development grants can be used for rebuilding roads and hospitals, other infrastructure projects, helping small businesses reopen, restoring utilities and providing rental subsidies. The grants are popular with state and local governments because of their flexibility on how the money is spent.
- $11.49 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief aid fund for Sandy and other disasters. The money is used for shelter, restoring utilities and meeting other immediate needs.
- $10.9 billion for New York and New Jersey transit system recovery projects.
- $5.35 billion for Army Corps of Engineers projects for Sandy-related damages and protections against future storms.
- $2 billion for the Federal Highway Administration's emergency relief program to repair storm-damaged federal highways.
- $476 million for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, much of it for programs and equipment to improve weather forecasting.
- $274 million for repairing Sandy damages to Coast Guard facilities.
- $235 million for repairs Sandy damages at Veterans Affairs Department facilities.

Spicy Peanut Mascarpone Chicken Curry Recipe
06.03.10 by Jackie
To make mascarpone chicken, I marinated chicken breast cubes that I tenderized overnight using buttermilk. For the thick gravy, I made a mixture of mascarpone and coarsely ground peanuts and turmeric.
Since the dish is a little heavy, I suggest serving it with leafy greens and steamed rice. It's not the healthiest way to eat chicken, but it is quite delicious. Also, I've found that even finicky kids love it. That should be enough to get over any guilt you feel. It works for me!

"Last Friday, The Verge revealed the existence of a dead-simple URL-based hack that allowed anyone to reset your Apple ID password with just your email address and date of birth. Apple quickly shut down the site and closed the security hole before bringing it back online. The conventional wisdom is that this was a run-of-the-mill software security issue. [...] It isn't. It's a troubling symptom that suggests Apple's self-admittedly bumpy transition from a maker of beautiful devices to a fully-fledged cloud services provider still isn't going smoothly. Meanwhile, your Apple ID password has come a long way from the short string of characters you tap to update apps on your iPhone.

RE[4]: it happens to everyone
by Soulbender on Tue 2nd Apr 2013 11:32 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: it happens to everyone"
A company's only goal is profit
That's not universally true and I doubt it's even true for most companies.
If engineering things correctly costs more than the potential cost of fixing things if/when they break; then engineering things correctly is the "wrong" way to do it.
No, it's still the wrong way to engineer things. Correct engineering is not a function of profit goals.

For a ten-year-old back in 1985, Stephen King movies – which were flooding multiplexes every few months – were just a little bit out of reach. Their R-rated horror made them the kind of thing most of us elementary school kids didn't get to see back in the day, though every now and then, you might be able to attend a birthday party where someone's lenient Dad would rent a VHS of, say, "Christine" or "Children of the Corn," damaging our sleep patterns for days to come.
One King movie, though, proved to be more "acceptable" for pre-teens than the rest: the PG-13 rated CAT'S EYE (***, 94 mins.), which opened in the Spring of 1985 and marked King's first filmed screenplay by the author himself. By the time it was released on VHS (on CBS/Fox's "Key Video" label), most of us in the 5th grade latched onto it as one of the few King movies that parents would be OK renting for their older kids (even today, it remains one of the only adaptations of the author's material that didn't receive an R rating).
I watched "Cat's Eye" for the first time in years after I imported Pulp Video's Italian Blu-Ray release, and I was surprised at how well the picture holds up – not just as a piece of nostalgia, but as one of the better King movies altogether, particularly from that era.
Dino De Laurentiis had already produced "The Dead Zone" and "Firestarter" from the author's works when he coaxed King to write an original anthology for the screen – a sound concept since genre anthologies were all over the place back in the mid '80s (King's film "Creepshow," "Twilight Zone: The Movie" and its subsequent TV revival on CBS, "Amazing Stories" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" on NBC, and "Tales From the Darkside" in syndication). Two stories – "Quitters, Inc." and "The Ledge" – were adapted from the author's bestselling "Night Shift" collection, and a third ("General") was expressly written for the film. There are reports King also wanted to use "Sometimes They Come Back" as a fourth story in the picture, but the producer persuaded him to save it for later (it became a CBS TV-film produced by De Laurentiis in 1990).
The resulting movie, shot in North Carolina (as most of De Laurentiis' films were in the '80s), was directed by "Cujo"'s Lewis Teague and uses the adventures of a quick-thinking, resourceful feline as a link between the segments.
"Quitters, Inc." opens the film with a bang, as it follows a smoker (James Woods) who tries to kick the habit, but receives more than he bargained for when he signs onto a company presided over by a mafia-type (Alan King) who tells Woods' Dick Morrison that they'll be watching Morrison's every move. Not only that, but if Morrison so much as raises a cigarette, both the safety of his wife and child will be threatened.
This segment of the picture is well-made, darkly funny and well-executed by the entire cast. Woods is terrific as the everyman caught up in an unbelievably nightmarish scenario for any smoker, and the use of the Police's "Every Breath You Take" serves as an amusing commentary on the plot (the song is later reprised in "General" quite effectively as well). The recently passed James Rebhorn can be seen in an early role as one of Woods' friends at a party, and Drew Barrymore – fresh off starring in "Firestarter" – makes the first of her several appearances in the picture as Woods' daughter.
The second tale in King's trilogy, "The Ledge," isn't quite as much fun, but it's still an entertaining tale of an Atlantic City crime boss (Kenneth McMillan) who decides to get his revenge on the younger tennis pro (Robert Hays) who's about to run away with his wife (Patricia Kalember). McMillan plants heroin in Hays' car, and informs him that he'll call the police – unless Hays can walk the ledge of their building, complete with gothic architecture and a stubborn pigeon who provides the story with its ultimate resolution.
Adeptly utilizing optical effects, miniatures and forced perspective, this is the most impressive visual segment in "Cats Eye." Credit goes out to the great cinematographer Jack Cardiff, who shot the picture in scope and provides the pre-CGI visuals with a sense of realism, heightening the tension in King's straightforward story.
King shifts to the supernatural for "General," the movie's grand finale directly involving our feline star, who hitches a train ride to Wilmington, N.C. and arrives on the doorstep of little girl Drew Barrymore and her parents (Candy Clark, James Naughton). While Mom worries about the old wives' tale of a cat stealing a child's breath, it turns out Barrymore's fears that a little monster lives in her walls are based in reality – and it's not just any little critter, but a tiny troll (designed by E.T.'s Carlo Rambaldi, voiced by veteran Frank Welker) who wants to steal Drew's lifeforce away. Making matters worse, our hero is initially framed for the death of Barrymore's pet bird and banished to death row at the animal shelter. Luckily, "General" breaks free and takes on the creature in a satisfying ending with superb visual FX.
At just over 90 minutes, "Cat's Eye" doesn't overstay its welcome and manages to be a lot of fun without the gore inherent in most Stephen King films. It's also witty and quite funny in places, offering a handful of King in-jokes (including cameos by Cujo and Christine), a surprising amount of black comedy and recurring themes (especially that cover of "Every Breath You Take") connecting the contrasting nature of the individual stories. It looks great – again, kudos to Cardiff and Teague for exploiting the wide JDC Scope frame – and Alan Silvestri's electronic score has a few "Back to the Future"-like flourishes that pop up whenever the cat springs into action. There's also an insanely catchy end credits song, performed by the Village People's Ray Stevens, that regrettably didn't make it onto Varese's old LP release (but will on that expanded soundtrack CD we're eventually going to see – right?!?).
For that reason, it's no surprise the movie was better received than most of King's '80s films (outside of "The Dead Zone," most critics panned the lot of them), with Roger Ebert giving the film "thumbs up" and Leonard Maltin tabbing the picture with a solid 3-stars in his Video Guide. One of the last De Laurentiis films to be produced before his short-lived DEG studio went into action, "Cat's Eye" was released – like Dino's "Red Sonja" – through MGM/UA in April of 1985 and generated a modest $13 million domestically (on a $7 mil budget).
Though the movie fared well on home video over the years, it's currently out of print in the U.S. Warner Home Video issued a DVD in 2002 offering a commentary by Lewis Teague, who discussed footage that was cut from the movie's prologue among other tidbits.
I imported the Italian Blu-Ray from Amazon's Spanish site (either amazon.es or amazon.it will do the trick) along with the same label's Blu-Ray of King's infamous, one-and-only directorial outing, "Maximum Overdrive." Both films were licensed through Studio Canal and "Cat's Eye," at least, looks excellent in a DNR-free, natural looking 1080p AVC encode. The print shows some wear and tear, and likely would be in healthier condition if released in the U.S., but it's still an appreciable enhancement over Warner's DVD, and really enhances Cardiff's stylish work on the picture. The Dolby Stereo sound is encoded as a plain 2.0 Dolby Digital track, but it's unlikely the film would really benefit from a DTS MA mix (only the music and assorted effects have any kind of stereophonic presence).
Pulp Video is a bit of a strange outfit, it seems, as the trailers included on their discs look like they've been taken off of Youtube and smoothed over with noise-reduction. What's more, the quality of their transfers vary wildly ("Maximum Overdrive" is superior to its out-of-print DVD as well, but looks as if it's been culled from an ancient high-def master, offering little in the way of enhanced detail). Still, they've been taking chances releasing some interesting Universal titles – like Steve Martin's "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" and Sylvester Stallone's "Paradise Alley" – in HD that are unlikely to appear anywhere else, so their efforts haven't gone unnoticed by movie buffs.
"Cat's Eye" didn't do gangbusters at the box-office, but it did heavily outgross MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (*½, 97 mins., 1986, R) which reunited De Laurentiis and King the following year. I have fond memories of seeing "Maximum Overdrive" in theaters – it was one of the first R-rated films I was allowed to see, thanks to my friend's movie-buff dad, George Coombs, who reviewed movies on WKRI-AM in Warwick, RI. Mr. C received free passes to the local theater chains (General Cinema and Showcase), which allowed us to see loads of films together during my formative years, and "Maximum Overdrive" was – along with "Witness" and "Aliens" – one of my earliest R-rating movie-going experiences.
Regrettably, "Maximum Overdrive" hasn't aged into the guilty pleasure one would've hoped for. While the picture does include some fleetingly hilarious moments in its first-half hour as "the machines" first stage their revolt against the world (resulting in the unforgettable moment when a soda machine wipes out an entire little league team!), it soon settles into a tedious, character-driven drama with Emilio Estevez leading a group of unappealing survivors holed up in a North Carolina gas station. This part of the film is nearly as much fun as hanging out in an actual rest area along I-95.
While the latter ended King's filmmaking career as soon as it started, it makes for an interesting double-bill with "Cat's Eye," seeing as it gets wrong nearly everything the latter does right. With a smart script and an inviting trio of stories, it's one of the best anthology films of its era – superior to the likes of "Twilight Zone: The Movie" and King's own "Creepshow" – and a trip back to the '80s that's certainly worth taking.

Today we have the exclusive first look of the Koolance CPU-LN2 Rev 2. This is the second generation "DIY" processor evaporator pot for liquid nitrogen or dry ice cooling by Koolance. This pot has a nickel-plated solid copper cold plate that has a black acetal upper container. Read on if this pot does better than the original that we looked at in the summer of 2009!
Liquid nitrogen performance on the Koolance CPU-LN2 Rev2 Pot is so far improved that it is surprising the Rev1 and Rev2 came from the same company. The rather radical change in design is responsible for this excellent LN2 performance and with a few more tweaks will really fly with heavy loads. Intel's upcoming Gulftown hex-core processors have already been shown to run hotter than current Bloomfield quad-core processors but I feel the CPU-LN2 Rev2 will easily handle upcoming Intel six-core Gulftown processors.
