Hobo with a Shotgun (US - BD RA)
Jonathan has a blast watching Rutger Hauer fill slimy crooks with lead...
The award winning SXSW trailer turned feature-length movie, Hobo With a Shotgun is the story of a homeless man (Rutger Hauer) who decides to take the law into his own hands. Looking for new streets to call home, the titular hobo hops off a train and enters Hope Town, a city overrun with drugs, violence, crooked cops, and a slimy leader by the name of Drake (Brian Downey of Lexx) who runs the place. The hobo dreams of one day starting a lawn mowing business, but before he can purchase a lawnmower at the store, local gang members break in to rob the place. He notices a shotgun on the wall next to the lawnmower and decides to take action, realizing that the only way to clean up Hope Town is to deal with the scum himself.
As the original Death Wish proved in 1974 (and as more recent films like Gran Torino and Harry Brown have reinforced) watching grizzled aged men take on the scum of the streets is a lot of fun. Hobo with a Shotgun dives head first into that sea of guilty pleasure, and adds ultraviolent action with the dark-comedic touch of early Troma films to the mixture. For the most part, it works well. The loving mockery of the genre is most enjoyable when the film is living up to its whacky title, and the immensely likable Rutger Hauer is blasting away with his shotgun in the neon soaked streets of Hope Town. The film uses supersaturated colours in a dazzling fashion, with deep cool colours and bright warm colours often sharing the screen simultaneously. It might be a bit overdone from time to time, but more often than not it looks great and evokes that late 80s/early 90s feel.
If the title isn't a dead giveaway, let me point out that this movie is silly. Faces are slammed into mounds of cocaine, bright red blood spurts liberally from every wound, and one of the lead bad guys is always wearing ice skates. Those are just a few examples of what the movie has in store. I've noticed that people give movies like this a free pass because they know that all the inane dialogue and over-the-top performances are deliberate, but some of the actors seem very aware of how ridiculous the movie is. The lack of sincerity is noticeable in some cases, and it took me out of the fun from time to time. I enjoy my movies with a healthy amount of tongue-in-cheek, but the actors should make it their task to sell it. A poor performance still shows even in this genre. Thankfully we have the pitch-perfect Rutger Hauer in the central role to do just that, and he doesn't miss a beat. He is as electrifying as he's ever been, and gives the movie heart.
The film never wanders into a Tarantino-like jumble of genres and film nods. Those hoping for a lot of clever references to older movies won't find many here, and whether or not that's a bad thing is entirely up to you. Personally, I appreciated how the movie submerged itself in the aesthetics of the genre without resorting to lazy imitations. Sometimes the movie sidesteps into some otherworldly material. In the first instance of it, involving a school bus from hell, I didn't think it worked at all. I'm perfectly fine with a grindhouse spoof swerving into bizarre territory, but some subtlety would've helped to introduce the supernatural element a bit more fluidly. When it first happened, my friend turned me and said "I didn't get that". I couldn't help him. As far as I can tell, the scene only exists to set up "The Plague"; a couple of ghastly medieval assassins who do the bidding of Drake. These characters help make up my favourite sequence in the film when they attack a hospital, slaying everything in their path with outrageously entertaining style.
I try not to spend too much review space comparing movies, but in the small world of grindhouse spoofs, I'm finding it nearly impossible to avoid. The most obvious comparison is to Robert Rodriguez's Machete. Both films began as fake trailers and went on to become real movies. Machete worked hard to fit a plot around the trailer, while Hobo with a Shotgun completely reworked the source material. Personally I enjoyed Machete, but I found it inconsistent and Rodriguez's love of CGI was a big turn-off for me. Thankfully in Hobo with a Shotgun nearly all of the violent special effects are created through practical means. Even the poorest squib effects are infinitely more satisfying than computer-generated blood effects. This scored some major points with me. It serves the film well and makes it a more authentic throwback to the movies it so lovingly imitates.
Magnolia gives this heavily stylized film a terrific 1080p (h.264/AVC) that keeps up with the wide range of neon colours splendidly. The movie was filmed on the RED Mysterium-X digital camera, but maintains a consistent layer of grain that gives it a healthy 35 mm appearance. This disc looks very faithful to the theatrical presentation. Colours are blatantly oversaturated and contrast is boosted. You can see some blocky artefacts if you look very closely at the saturated outdoor scenes, but this is more than likely a result of the original colour tampering and not a fault of the Blu-ray disc. The constant heavy use of neon colours and purposefully gritty post-processing prevent it from being the cleanest possible Blu-ray image, but it does a wonderful job of preserving the intended look of the film and should please fans.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track falls in line with the exceptional transfer. Rear channels are used fill the room with the eerie synthetic music and project the sounds of panic in the more busy street scenes. They get a lot more usage than your average popcorn action flick. Dialogue levels are appropriate and even the sounds of blood squirts come through crisp and distinguishable. Shotgun blasts are loud and jarring like they should be, often ringing through multiple sound channels. The score sounds great. The electronic music with heavy bass sounds very clean, and gives the bass channel a workout. Sometimes the score has a rumbling undercurrent that rattles the listening environment. It's one of the most dynamic audio tracks I've heard in a while, which is surprising given the films adherence to retro filmmaking style. Trust me, it's a good surprise.
There are a large amount of extras on this disc. Aside from an interactive movie watching mode that has more additional footage than the movie's runtime, we have two commentary tracks, a making of, deleted scenes, an alternate ending, video blogs, a camera test reel, and some interview footage with Jason Eisener and Rutger Hauer. There are also some HD-net features (not reviews here) and some trailers, including the original trailer the film is based on. No subtitles are included with commentary tracks and special features.
Shotgun Mode – Behind the Scenes Interactive Movie Feature (1:46:27, HD) is an option you can turn on that allows you to stop and view small featurettes during the film. A shotgun crosshair appears on the screen, and then you hit Enter on your remote and are whisked away to a lot of unproduced behind-the-scenes footage of the filmmakers and actors messing around on set. Without any narration or interview segments, these segments are not very informative or fun to watch. Most people probably won't waste their time on these, but devout fans have plenty of material here to chew on. You can view the clips separately in the special features section.
Commentary with Jason Eisener and Rutger Hauer: This is the more laid back of the commentary tracks. Most of the runtime is spent talking about the performances and the process of shooting scenes. Rutger Hauer shares his thoughts on scenes and gives some insight into his acting processes. He's very honest.
Commentary with Jason Eisener, Jon Davies, Rob Cotterill, and David Brunt: This more populated filmmaker commentary track is much easier to listen to. David Brunt, the "Hobo" from the original trailer, is quite a character. The producers and filmmakers talk a lot about their childhood influences and what drove them to making a movie like this. They also give some explanations for the film's more bizarre scenes that the other commentary track lacked. If you're going to pick a commentary track to listen to, I'd go with this one.
More Blood, More Heart: The Making of Hobo with a Shotgun (45:22, HD) is easily my favourite of the special features. It does what a "making of" feature should do. It gives you a wealth of insight and builds your appreciation of the film. I found myself liking the filmmakers a lot more than I thought I would from the "Shotgun Mode" clips. They seem like a humble bunch of guys who just have a great time making films together. Certain scenes from the movie make a lot more sense when they explain the origins of them. It covers the history of the film and involved process of putting it together with just the right amount of depth. I particularly loved Hauer's bit about how these new digital cameras are easy to set up and he doesn't get time to rest between takes.
Deleted Scenes (5:58, HD): A small gathering of deleted scenes and alternate footage. They are structured in an unusual way, with most of them being included in a montage with only music playing over them. It works, seeing as most of the takes are short and just feature goofy mayhem occurring.
Alternate Ending (0:33, HD): This is a very short alternate ending that could've been tacked onto the end of the film, and thankfully was not. It is way too silly and inappropriate in the context of the ending.
Video Blogs (SD): These are nine short video segments that were filmed on set. They are approximately 20-30 seconds each. There is nothing particularly noteworthy here.
Camera Test Reel (3:28, HD): It is far down on the list of special features for a reason. It's just some test footage shot with the RED camera.
Fangoria Interviews (44:29, SD): Two separate interviews, one with Rutger Hauer and one with Jason Eisener. Fans interested in Rutger Hauer's input and what drew him to the film will find something to like here. Overall, there isn't much material or information here that wasn't covered in previous features or the commentary tracks.
The visually intriguing Hobo with a Shotgun isn't the most consistent entry in the recent grindhouse spoof genre, but it is held together by solid pacing, good use of practical effects, and an immaculate performance from Rutger Hauer as the lead. Magnolia has delivered fans a stellar visual and audio presentation. Extra features are plentiful but only a choice few are worthwhile.

Finally saw it. Generally speaking this was more true to it's roots than Planet Terror was. The Troma comparisons are apt, but Troma never put forth this much effort.

A Particular Odd Interaction With A Driver. Sometimes The Illogical Behavior On Our Road Hurts My Brain.
Sometimes a driver feels they must take things further, and use their car as a threatening weapon, presumably to "teach me a lesson". Tuesday on Colorado Ave., an SUV driver with a Jack Skeleton Nightmare Before Christmas icon attached to his trailer hitch, honked, honked, honked again, then buzzed me, passing with less than a foot clearance at high speed, even though there was a completely open lane he could have used to pass safely and easily. I compare this behavior to being like a big bully walking around with a metal baseball bat, swinging it around, generally with no real intent to actually hit anyone, but to threaten others he perceives to be in his way. Behavior we would never tolerate in society except when an automobile is the weapon.
Of course as is often the case when these impatient drivers want to speed around, he had to stop at the end of the block for the red light. Some drivers don't seem to understand traffic signal timing dictates their progress in the city far more than anything like having to pass a slower moving vehicle, and I often pull right up to the same light pedaling along at 15 mph. So I pulled up behind the driver, my heart rate elevated from his nearly swiping me with his mirror. I did not want to deal with a verbal altercation with this person, so I did not filter up, and remained behind the vehicle.
I did want to make my displeasure known in some manner however. So I did want I generally do to rude or careless drivers when I'm a pedestrian, I give the cold deep stare, to remind them they are facing a real human being. I rolled very close to the back of their vehicle and just stared into their rear view mirror. I could tell this made him a little uncomfortable, but that was the point, snap him out of his soulless automaton mode of driver, and remind him human beings are on our streets.
This is where it got really odd. I have observed numerous incarnations of road raging behavior, illogical driver behavior, careless behavior, but that day I saw something new. Presumably to "teach me a lesson", he proceeded to drive at incredibly slow speed when the light went green, and by slow I mean, really really slow. 4-5 mph slow, a few times almost a dead stop, the kind of slow that is hard to even accomplish on a bicycle unless you have good balance. I did not want to pass, because the much faster moving traffic in the next lane would have made it hard to merge safely, and I did not want to put my self in a position where this driver really could cause physical harm to me, so I just stayed behind and rolled slow, calling his bluff.
I don't know what he thought he was going to accomplish, I obviously had more patience and was in a less of a hurry to get where I was going, mainly since I had not very far to go. Within a few moments, he started to lose interest in his little stunt and drove off going full speed again. Presumably he was in a hurry to get where he was going, since he felt it necessary to honk at me for being slower, and swerved around screeching up the road earlier. However by deliberately driving so pitifully slow "to teach me a lesson" when the light turned green at the next block, he actually slowed his own progress far more than my presence had. This act placed him numerous car positions back before the road was to merge to one lane. Can anyone explain to me the logic of such behavior, because it sure as hell makes no sense to me?
Another point this odd interaction revealed, a notion I've already known, but which this story reinforces, is that when the driver held up traffic by driving even slower than a bicyclist, no one honked in retaliation at him. Drivers are far more tolerant and forgiving of being held up by other drivers than they are of cyclists. One of many signs of a clear mode bias. When a driver is going slow, traffic is backed up, or a large construction vehicle is going slow, sometimes impatient drivers act out, but nearly always with more patience than for a cyclist. It's become clear to me that no matter our legal rights, to be a cyclist is to become a second class road user in practice.
Cultural acceptance of cyclists as legitimate road users is I think the biggest hurdle keeping many people from trying riding. In theory things like bike lanes wouldn't even be necessary if drivers simply behaved with some basic level of civility toward cyclists. This is an issue that goes beyond infrastructure, and while changing the road striping may reduce conflict in some areas, not every street will get a bike lane, and we need everyone to know cyclists have a right to ride on any street. I think there is tendency in our planning to think of some streets as streets where we might have people riding a bike, and other streets prioritize for driving. In reality even some of the streets that are terrible environments to ride a bike, still have many cyclists, such as Lincoln Blvd, due to it's direct routing and even grade, and connection to local business.
While we may want to prioritize some streets for bike routes, we have to start with the assumption that since cyclists have a right to every street, and every street is a street cyclists will ride. Some drivers operate on the understanding that cyclists only have a right to ride where there are bike lanes. I've been shouted at to get in the bike lane on streets that don't even have a bike lane. Having bike lanes on some streets does nothing to clarify the legal right for cyclists to use all streets. There is an education gap, that starts with parents, continues through school, perpetuated by inadequate DMV requirements and materials, and onward. It is a significant challenge now with so many people already on the road who do not understand the rules of the road, but something has to be done.
I was glad to see Santa Monica included some info on bicycling in the recent Seascape (page 2) newsletter sent to residents. Concerning driving behavior however, I don't really think it's the resident drivers that are biggest problem, but rather everyone driving into Santa Monica. That will be a tougher nut to crack.
1 comment:
It is a cultural issue. In my observation
(i) It has nothing to do with speed. I get more harassment when traffic is blocked by other cars, both profanity from drivers, and one policeman threatened to cite me for impeding traffic by going slower than the speed limit (congestion slowed cars in front of me to 10mph when speed limit was 25).
(2) The bike lanes I've seen don't help. Drivers turning right insist they have the right of way - they don't merge right in PA and don't respect pedestrians or bicyclists in cross walks or bike lanes. Again, I could easily keep up in the lane but thought I'd try the new bike lanes. I was not impressed no matter how many novices they can lure into the door zone. (Someone I know was doored and lost a leg years ago.)
The Dept. Trans here insists door zones lanes are more comfortable for occasional riders and meet standards; at this point it's gotten to the point that I'd like to seem them have non-drivers design the interstates, since they reject complaints about door zones or striping bike lanes to the right of right turn arrows.

NEW HAVEN — Town officials have cancelled events that were to be held at the New Haven Town Hall because of an air quality problem caused by mold.
The Harvest Fest and Craft Sale, which had been scheduled for Oct. 19, and the Halloween Party, which had been scheduled for Oct. 26, have both been canceled.
Town Clerk Pam Kingman said the events were cancelled because of a lingering mold problem in the building. Mold first appeared this summer after heavy rains.

So, now that I've got land for my tiny house, I kinda need to make it livable. That means getting some systems in place, namely an energy system, a water system, and a waste disposal system. I've made a bit of progress on two of those fronts.
So, of course, the first thing on the priority list is getting the electricity under control. Any survival expert will tell you that you can survive a month without food, about a week without water, and exposure can kill you faster than both. However, for my generation lacking Internet access is a fate worse than death. So, I focused my efforts on getting more solar panels.
The panels on the left are my old Harbor Freight panels. Each one produces 15 watts for a total of 45 watts. The new Kyocera panel on the right, though, produces 3 times as much as the other three combined. That's a 135 watt panel sitting there, and I've got 2 more on the way. That'll give me 450 watts of power generation total, which means I should be able to give my batteries at least 900 kwhs a day in the dead of winter (more in summer.) When I was checking my usage at my Uncle's place, I was using anywhere from 800 to 1,500 kwhs a day, depending upon what I did. I've since purchased a much more efficient ceiling fan, and am going to be running on more efficient DC power, so I'm hoping I should be all set.
I also decided to create a battery box.
Some of you had noticed that I was keeping the batteries inside the house. Some of you also commented on this, and I tried to downplay it. Now, though, I'll come right out and say it: I was STUPID. Those batteries give off toxic gases when they charge, and are hazardous to your health. They should never been kept indoors without proper ventilation. I am now keeping my batteries outside where they belong. As you can see in the second picture, I've also got some insulation in there on the bottom. I need to insulate the top and the sides yet, and hopefully that'll help keep the batteries from freezing through most of the winter. I doubt it'll be enough on the coldest of days, but I'm hoping to cross that barrier when I come to it. You can also see that I've got space in there for additional batteries - I need to get a couple more to make my system complete. I want to wait for the solar panels first, though.
Now that the batteries are out of the house, I've opened up a lot of space up top! I've also had to move my charge controller outside, so I can no longer monitor my usage using the handy-dandy built in LED meter. (Actually, I had to get a new one that could handle the capacity of the new panel, and the old one burnt out, anyway.) For now, I'm just plugging my multimeter into the DC outlet for my heater's fan. It'll do for now.
Speaking of heating, I've started building a skirting around my tiny house with straw bales. I figure this will help keep it warmer in the winter, given the insulative nature of straw bales. It's also likely to create a nice little haven for mice, bugs, and other less-than-savory critters. The underside of my trailer is mostly metal, with metal flashing and pressure-treated lumber being the only accessible parts, so I'm hoping that'll be enough to keep anything from trying to crawl in. I may be treating this a tad too optimistically, though. If I start posting pictures of Barney with mice hanging out of his mouth, you'll know this was a bad idea. Speaking of Barney...
Barney interlude! Seriously, this is all the closer the little guy will let me get to him with a camera. He's shy. Anyway, back to content...
My parents were wonderful enough to pick me up some old pallets while I was working in Mexico City for a couple of weeks. I've turned them into a compost pile! Granted, it's likely that, after a year, the sides of the pallets themselves will begin to compost, but I still consider this to be somewhat of an experiment, so I don't want to spent a lot to build a fancier structure until I'm sure this will work. This, of course, is the missing component to my composting toilet. From here on out, whenever the toilet is full, I can empty it into this bin, cover it with leaves, straw, or other organic material, wash out the bucket and be ready to go again. Of course, it takes a year to build a good pile and another year to let it age, so I really won't know if this experiment "works" for another 2 years, but hey... gotta start sometime, right?
And we end with a picture of my hammock. Not gonna be many days left in the year where I'll be able to use that sucker!
Well, that's it for now. I've got 2 more solar panels coming as well as an antenna for my Internet connection, so I'll probably be posting more pictures in a few days. Oh, and my parents have planted a couple bushes, some hostas, and an apple tree, too, so I'll hopefully be posting pictures of those as well. For now, though, I need to log off - until the other panels and batteries come, I don't want to use the laptop too much and drain my batteries too low!
Nice pad.
Thanks for the pics, love what you are doing there. :)
Re: Nice pad.
Thanks! I'm just glad that it's all slowly starting to come together.

Two pairs of consecutive drops, controlled by my home made electronic devices, fell into quiet water surface with a specific time difference; the first bounce hit the second drop and create beautiful splash.

This article discusses whether additional domain controllers can be present in a Windows Small Business Server or Windows Server Essentials domain
One of the requirements of all versions of Windows Small Business Server (SBS) is that the server running SBS must be a domain controller. This requirement is still present in Windows Server 2012 Essentials, the successor to the SBS line. A related requirement states that only one SBS or Essentials server may exist within a domain, with a temporary exception being made for migration scenarios, in which it is necessary for the source and destination server to run concurrently in the same domain while data is being migrated.
These two requirements have led to some longstanding confusion regarding whether it is possible to promote additional domain controllers in an SBS or Essentials domain. It is indeed possible to do so. There is no technical restriction preventing it and it doesn't violate the SBS/Essentials license agreement in any way. Additional domain controllers in an SBS/Essentials domain will function just like they would in any other Active Directory domain.
There are two other relevant requirements to be aware of:

VCC team heads to Senior Provincials
|A team from the Vancouver Curling Club will be competing in the Tim Horton's BC Senior Women's Curling Championship in Kamloops. Team Miller - skipped by Karen Miller – is one of eight teams vying for the provincial title from Feb. 21 to 27.
Pictured left to right, Miller, Beckie Ross (third), Dianne Petrant (second) and Kathy McInnes (lead) only formed as a team just one month before the coastal playdowns. Miller, Ross and McInnes are from the Tuesday Women's League, and Petrant plays in the Thursday Open.
The Miller team earned a berth in the provincial event by winning the coastal playdown event in January. But going undefeated and topping the standings at that event was a stunner, according to Miller. "Curling is truly a team sport and everyone has to make split second decisions and work together," she says. "For us, we made a lot of good decisions and I think, as a team, we flew under the radar of the other teams."
Ross says playing entering the seniors' event wasn't even a consideration for her until Miller asked her to take part in the first week of December.
Petrant says they were the unknown team. "Karen called four fantastic games. All we had to do is make the shots. It's still hard to believe that our team experience is a total of four games."
McInnes said she and Dianne just kept saying "one end at a time, sweet curlers," to keep their nerves in check.
A big congratulations to Karen, Beckie, Dianne and Kathy who will be great Vancouver Curling Club ambassadors at the provincials in Kamloops.

A native of Colorado, Spider painted Southwestern art and wildlife indigenous
to the area. In 1995 Spider was commissioned to paint a 6,000 square foot sea
mural in Destin Florida. As a result Spider began scuba diving so he could study
his subjects in their natural environment. During the course of the Destin project
Spider fell in love with the sugar white beaches of Florida. This prompted a
life changing move to Florida here he called home and continued his career until
August 2005.
Spider began re-evaluating his career on the Emerald Coast after surviving
Hurricane Ivan and a few close encounters of other major Hurricanes that hit
the Gulf Coast. Spider made another life changing move and returned to his Native
home in Colorado as Hurricane Katrina was making landfall, this is where he
continues his career.
Spiders artwork has bee in several publications, won numerous awards, and
is recognized around the world. Spider's murals can be seen all around the Emerald
Coast of Florida and have become well known landmarks. Spider has donated several
murals to schools in the Destin area to promote the preservation of wildlife
and the environment.
Through his work with children, Spider wants to share the importance of protecting
marine wildlife as well as their habitats. Spider has also donated prints to
the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge to aid sick or injured aquatic life back to
health. Spider donated his talents to restore the 40 foot dolphin statue that
marks the entrance to the famed Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key Florida
as well as posters to help raise the money.
Spider's painting entitled " Mermaids of the Crystal River " won
an art contest hosted by the Florida Wildlife, Fish and Game Commission for the " Save the Manatee " decal for 2000. There was 125,00 decals sold through
the Florida DMV state wide for donations of $ 5.00 or more to support the Manatee Program research efforts.
Through Spider's success at the International Art Expo in New York and San
Francisco for two years and ads in Art Business News, Spider has gained a strong
following. His work was recently introduced in Japan with other markets opening
soon. Spider feels he is truly blessed to be able to make a living by doing
what he loves. Spider hopes that those who gaze upon his work will feel the
emotion and innocence of the creatures ( big or small ) and make a heart felt
effort to protect them; so future generations can see and enjoy the amazing
creatures of our world!

text: Mm, I did consider having a general "Husk" version where I'd denote what was standardized before moving on. Such as the fact that all armors are between size -1 and size 1 with size 0 being the standard. They need to fit the pieces inside yeah? Also, I'd rather avoid the situation where a player decides to make his mech some sort of combined mech/life support system and have it as powered armor. I've had people tr that crap before out of worry that I'd have them jumped in the night.

Michel Richard's Extremely Chocolaty Chip Cookies
These cookies? They are amazing, and they start with an unexpected ingredient. See those little specks in the cookies? They aren't nuts. Read on for more about this recipe, and this playful, witty, unexpectedly delightful book.
Michel Richard is a one-of-a-kind French chef. He currently owns Citronelle in the D.C. area. He won a James Beard award as Outstanding Chef in 2007, and he is often referred to as a chef's chef. He has a sense of wit and playfulness, a precision informed by his early days as a pastry chef, and an absolute mastery of craft with a knack for making things sound easy. He considers the microwave his "secret weapon," and he's not afraid to use low-brow ingredients like cornflakes in high-end dishes.
His sparkling wit and sense of play come through in this book, his larger-than-life personality coming up through every page. He does such interesting things here, like in his very first recipe in the book: Ultimate French Toast. He basically has you make a flan, then embed it in slices of bread, and fry them. Totally decadent and homestyle, but very high-end at the same time. I mean, how often are you going to make something like that? But you have to respect the brain that could come up with it!
This book has three sections: My Sweet Dreams — his own creations, with things like Maple Parsnip Cake and Mulled Cider and Rum Risotto — You Can Take the Frenchman Out of France, but... — with French-inspired recipes like Pineapple Rum Baba and Creme Brulee Sandwich (!!) — and Made in the USA — with his own set of nods to his adopted country. This is where things get even more interesting, as he makes Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream, and his own homage to chocolate chip cookies. He makes oatmeal cookies with bacon, and corn cookies with a "Smidgen of Curry." He makes the World's Flakiest Apple Pie, and a "moussemallow" that ends up in a Fourth of July tart.
I have some peeves with the book, but they are purely editorial. Why oh why do publishers these days dispense with tables of contents? There is no place in this book to skim the recipe titles and contents. Just an index. I really miss the table of contents in a book like this. Also, those who care about photos will be disappointed. There are just line illustrations here, which I found charming and attractive, but not everyone will love them.
Regardless of those quibbles, this book is a gem. Around every corner there are classic French pastry techniques explained in incredibly lucid terms, and then transformed and kicked up to a new level of witty creativity.
These cookies are the perfect example. He wanted to do an homage to the brown, buttery taste of the perfect American chocolate chip cookie. So he has you take an entire box of graham crackers and whiz them in the food processor with cocoa and chocolate. Then you mix in butter, sugar, and eggs, and chill the dough. Then slice and bake with yet more chocolate on top.
The result is a browned and delicious cookie that has a fine grittiness — sounds unappealing, perhaps, but they are infinitely moreish. They are deeply chocolaty, but not so rich they make you sick. They are the brilliant combination of old-school slice-and-bake icebox cookies, American ingredients, and a crazy chef's imagination.
As you can probably tell, I love this book. I don't know how often I'll make each recipe, but I feel like I learn things just by reading each recipe, and his creativity is immensely inspiring. But I do know I'll be making these cookies again; my friends demanded them, and soon!

Extremely Chocolaty Chip Cookies
This cookie is not meant as an improvement but more as an homage to the chocolate chip cookie. I was also inspired by another American delicacy, the graham cracker—so simple yet so crisp and with such depth of flavor. I was struck by what a nice crust it made for cheesecake, so I started to play with it, chopping up hazelnuts and dark chocolate to go along with it. Because the graham cracker is already baked, there is no opportunity for gluten to develop to hold the cookie together, so it is naturally crumbly, even though the eggs, salt, and sugar serve to bind it somewhat. Take care to pack the dough very tightly as described below. The texture of these cookies makes me think of sand—not the grittiness of sand, but the way it is full of fine little grains. Try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top—or use two spoons to shape the ice cream into oval "quenelles."
1 cup hazelnuts
14.4-ounce box graham crackers, crushed (about 4 cups)
8 ounces dark or semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup dark alkalized (Dutch process) cocoa powder
11/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar, dark
2 large eggs
Note: The cookie dough is rolled into a cylinder shape that can be refrigerated for several days or frozen for several months. Defrost it in the refrigerator before baking.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the hazelnuts on a sheet pan and bake them for 15 minutes, shaking them once halfway through. Transfer the nuts to the center of a kitchen towel. Fold the corners of the towel over and let them steam for 1 minute. Holding the towel, vigorously rub the hazelnuts inside to remove the skins. Don't worry if a little bit of skin stays on. Cool the hazelnuts completely.
Place the hazelnuts and graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade and pulse to produce a fine powder. Roughly chop 4 ounces of the chocolate and add it to the food processor bowl, along with the cocoa powder. Process all together for 15 to 20 seconds, or until uniformly combined. Using a spatula, mix the butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and the contents of the mixer bowl and incorporate well.
Divide the dough into halves. Lightly wet your work surface, cut a length of plastic wrap about 24 inches long, and lay it on the damp counter. Place one of the dough balls in the center of the plastic. Take one edge of the plastic wrap and fold it over the dough. Tuck it under and roll the dough, forming a large sausage shape approximately 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches long in the process. Roll up the entire length of the plastic wrap around the dough two or three times. Next, twist both ends of the plastic very, very tightly. If you loosely pack this dough, it will crumble too easily. Fasten the ends tightly with twine or twist ties. Repeat the above steps with the other piece of dough. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or until firm.
To bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cut the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate into large "chips." Line two sheet pans with Silpat or parchment. Slice the dough into ½-inch-thick disks. Place 6 cookies on each sheet pan and press 6 to 8 chocolate pieces into the top of each. Bake the cookies for about 20 minutes. They will be very delicate—let them sit on the pan for 5 minutes until they are firm and cool enough to remove with a spatula. Carefully transfer the cookies to wire racks and cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Recently we were able to get our hands on one of those juror questionnaires Ayres' new lawyer, Jonathan McDougall, sent off in December to the jurors in the first trial. The jurors were under no obligation to return the six-page questionnaire and we have no idea how many - if any - even responded to it. Judge Freeman also ordered that any responses would be maintained by McDougall and would not be revealed to the public without a further court order
The questionnaire is divided into four parts:
In the VERDICTS section, we're not sure why McDougall bothered to ask the jurors for the breakdown of the final vote for each victim. Both Doron Weinberg and the prosecutor spoke to the jury right after the mistrial and heard for themselves what the breakdown was. Why go through this all over again when McDougall already knows the answer?
Another thing : will a juror - nearly five months after the end of the trial- be able to recall enough to answer a question like this one: "What concerns or issues created the division of the votes.(Sic) Be specific for each victim if possible. (For example, the credibility of one or more of the victims or other witnesses, or the believability of Dr. Ayres, or the delay in reporting the events, etc.")
That last part about the "delay in the reporting the events" seems way off to us. Although studies have shown that the vast majority of male victims never report the abuse to authorities (let alone tell their spouses or other family members or friends) in their lifetime. In this questionnaire, McDougall appears to be stating as fact that it naturally follows that a delay in reporting abuse by victims would affect their believability. And in the TRIAL EVIDENCE section, he brings it up again: " Which of the complaining witnesses/victims did you or the other jurors struggle to believe, if any? How did the delay in reporting affect their believability?
If he's planning to go down this path at the next trial, we can tell you right now it's a lost cause. There have been literally hundreds of books, journal articles, newspaper articles and experts who say that most victims never report the abuse at all or when they do come forward, it's decades later. This point has been hammered on so often by experts in the mainstream media in recent years (especially in the wake of the pedophile priests scandals) that at this point, most Americans know that one of the most common characteristics of an abuse victim is to not come forward for years after the abuse. A few years ago, every once in a while you'd see some ignoramous on a readers' section of a newspaper story about a pedophile make a sneering remark like,"Why did it take the victim so long to come forward?" But we've noticed lately that remarks such as theseare becoming a true rarity. People are a lot more educated about the characteristics and behaviors of abuse victims, and you can be sure if he tries to bring that up, the San Mateo DA's office will shoot him down fast!
Under the TRIAL PUBLICITY section, we were frankly astonished by this question:
"What effect did the trial publicity and internet reporting have on you or the other jurors? Were the deliberations effected (sic) in any way?"
Never mind our surprise that an Ivy League graduate like McDougall would commit a glaring grammatical error by using "effected" instead of the correct word,"affected." The larger issue is: the jurors were admonished by Judge Freeman not to read the papers or any other publicity about the case. As far as we know, they obeyed her. Where is McDougall's evidence that anyone read anything about the case during the trial? For him to state this as fact is irresponsible.
By the way -that misuse of "effected" was not the defense lawyer's only grammatical error. Here's another in this question in the TRIAL ATTORNEYS section: "Anything done by the attorney's have an impact on your vote or the votes by the other jurors?
[Some additional commentary from Deep Sounding]:
I've added a few comments to the scanned document. I realize that it's a bit nit-picky to look so hard at the grammar in this document, but it is STRIKING that a well paid attorney, who claims to have attended Brown and Pepperdine would produce such a poorly worded, confusing document, given the relative simplicity of the questions which I believe were intended.
In general, I don't really have any feelings either way about the relative value of the questions asked. I don't find them to be overly informative, nor are they overly offensive. For the most part, I'm left with a bit of a sad sense of distaste for the entire judicial system. I seems like it has more to do with out-maneuvering the opponent with insignificant technicalities than it has to do with any real justice. On that note, here's an interesting observation about the questionnaire:
There are some variations on questions of outside (press/internet) influence during deliberations. In his opening, McDougall tells the jurors: "All answers are assumed to the best of your recollection, and are NOT sworn under any penalty of perjury or other negative effect. Please complete any question you can..." While this may be true of the questionnaire, I think there may be a bit of an interesting gotcha, which McDougall isn't being entirely open about:
I'm fairly certain that at one point during the trial, the jurors were asked to individually confirm that they were not reading external sources of information about the case ( media and internet). These answers were given under oath, and each of them affirmed that they had obeyed the court's instructions NOT to look at these sources during the trial.
While the jurors may not be under oath or penalty of perjury for answering questions on the questionnaire incorrectly, they could feasibly be in jeopardy of charges of juror misconduct or perjury if their answers to the questionnaire conflict with statements that they made in court, when they were under oath.
Seems like a bit of a nasty little trap, and I find myself wondering if that was the whole point of McDougall's little fishing expedition. Further, it seems like a bit of an oversight on the court's part that they would allow McDougall to open up that kind of a trap without a warning to the jurors.
In all though, we thought the questionnaire was a snoozefest.

While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the development of a four-passenger sports car they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, advertising and marketing team prepared the world for the introduction of a car they called the Panther.
All through the summer season of 1965 virtually every element of the automobile's design and advancement, from initial design sketches to clay models, was photographed and thoroughly documented. Chevy used the possessions to create a 30 -minute film The Camaro for sale in Belfast ME , which was later on revealed on TV and in cinema. They likewise presented ladies's clothing called the Camaro Collection as well as a Camaro road race online game.
Chevy Camaros For Sale
In November, Chevy sales executives and innovative people previewed prototype designs at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's venerable advertising agency, right away started deal with catalogs, direct-mail advertising and sales promo products, in addition to print, outside and TV/radio advertising. In April 1966, at the New York Car Program Press Conference, Chevrolet sales executives confessed no name had actually been selected for the new vehicle, however did announce that prices of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Belfast ME design will remain in the Corvair-Chevy II range.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy struggled over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management was nervous about the aggressive connotations of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later cause the Pontiac version, code word the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its brief lifetime, the F-car had actually been called by lots of names including Wildcat, Chaparral, Leader and Nova. It's also reported that Chevy considered using the letters "GM" in the name, and created G-Mini, which evolved into GeMini and lastly Gemini. Nevertheless, GM's upper management vetoed the idea, fearing the automobile might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that someone at Chevrolet finally proposed the name Camaro and upper management rapidly agreed. Although the name has no real meaning, GM researchers supposedly found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "buddy." It's reported that Ford Motor Company researchers likewise discovered other definitions, including "a shrimp-like animal" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Since a number or pre-launch products had actually already been launched utilizing the Panther name, Chevy's the majority of pressing difficulty was to now rename their brand-new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Belfast ME by looking for classic car dealers.
Finally, on June 28, 1966, General Motors held a live interview in Detroit's Statler-Hilton Hotel. It was the first time in history that 14 cities were attached in real time for an interview via telephone lines. Elliot M. "Pete" Estes, who replaced "Bunkie" Knudsen as Chevrolet General Manager in July 1965, began the news conference by proclaiming all participants were now club members of the Society for the Removal of Panthers from the Automotive World (SEPAW.) Estes confidently revealed that Camaro was picked as the name for Chevy's brand-new four-passenger cars to honor the custom of beginning Chevy model names with the letter C such as the Corvette, Corvair, Chevelle, and Chevy II.

And it rained. Fourteen inches of rain in Nash County, N.C. Ten and a half inches in Wilson County, N.C. Just to name two counties in the central Piedmont region of the state where the rain fell.
Nearly two months worth of rain came in a two-day stretch late in August in a five-county belt from Vance to Wilson counties. Much of eastern North Carolina got steady rain from a low-pressure trough also. Much of it came too late. Earlier in the summer 73 counties in North Carolina were declared drought disasters. West of Raleigh, the dry weather continued.
Throughout the 2002 growing season, rains have been spotty at best. Nothing like what happened in late August. Billy Little, Wilson County, N.C., Extension commercial horticulture agent, put it into perspective. "I had a test plot that got two-tenths of an inch of rain on Aug. 16. That was the first rain I'd had all growing season."
Adding short-term perspective, the tobacco crop is about 60 percent harvested — the rains should help fill out the upper stalk positions as well as the tips. The rain caused soybeans in the area to put on a second bloom and may also help fill out pods. The moisture will help pastures and hay crops tremendously, Little says.
"Corn was already gone," Little says. "On cotton, it's still undecided whether the rain will help or hurt the crop.
"Vegetables needed water, but not that much water," Little says. Too much rain sets up disease problems.
Drought delayed development of North Carolina's sweet potato crop. Little wondered out loud whether the rain would help size up the crop without "souring the wet potatoes."
Rain is news during a drought, of course. Especially the extended five-year drought we're under here in the upper Southeast. The bigger, long-term issue, one that the lack of rain has highlighted, is water.
This summer, municipalities issued tighter water restrictions for residents. Restrictions that go beyond the normal wash your car on odd-numbered days. Some towns were thinking about forcing restaurants to use paper plates. Water supplies in one lake that supplies most Chapel Hill and Carrboro, N.C. residents were down 16.5 feet below their full levels.
Early this year, the governor of North Carolina urged residents to cut down on water use while on a tour of drought-stricken farms. I've been reading about the depletion of aquifers in eastern North Carolina, an area where residents once thought they had water to spare — or so the articles tell me. Rivers in the upper Southeast are under extreme pressure.
Water moves the engine of not only progress, but also of agriculture. It's literally an issue of life and death, one in which agricultural interests in the upper Southeast should have a say.
To the south, other states have recognized the long-term importance of having agriculture represented at the table when decisions are made regarding water distribution. Farmers, individuals and organizations have taken the lead in making sure agriculture is considered along with the other vital interests of a growing state. It's an issue agriculture will continue to face.
The rain in late-August was a welcomed respite from the drought, but certainly not enough to replenish depleted soil moisture levels. The fact that it rained is news. The only thing more important than rain, however, is water.

When Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, one of its most prominent and most controversial features was the on-screen keyboard. In as world dominated by devices with physical keyboards, it was seen as a joke, something that could never work. We know better by now, of course, but while I still prefer the physical feel and clicks of a real keyboard, a recent new endeavour of mine has made me appreciate the on-screen keyboard in a whole new way.

New York, New Yo...
Our fun, simple Kathrine dress is easy to sew and easy to wear. We love the fitted back with pleat and the full, loose movement in the front. Have fun accessorizing it, perhaps with multiple, brightly colored silk sashes, trendy bow ties, or piles of chunky necklaces. Next week, we'll post the Plus Size of this dress, which we adjusted to better accommodate the plus figure.
Material Notes
We used a beautiful wool suiting material for the dress, and we couldn't decide which color of the silk charmeuse we liked better for the sash, so we made both! And for the little button at the center back, we wanted it to be invisible, so we used a crochet loop, and put a small button on the inside of the dress. You can also put a crochet loop on your sash, and attach it to the dress via the same button.

I love the alteration for this dress. I think is absolutely pretty, which the cinch at the waist makes all the difference.
Apr 27, 2010, 09.50 AMby ichigogirl
Great re-styling! I like it so much more than the original, it's gone from quirky/cute to really elegant!
Mar 16, 2010, 10.34 PMby redrose12
I'm making this pattern up now, and while it's soooo cute, the instructions are kinda terrible! Huge font, tiny pictures, barely formatted… I love the pattern, but as someone who doesn't have internet access and needs to download instructions, making it isn't as fun.
Dec 6, 2009, 04.08 AMby Dawn Marx
I absolutely LOVE the dress. I have a question though. Do you have any tips for making it longer in the back , but the front stays the same?
May 8, 2009, 01.40 PMby smudges
I LOVE IT!!!!! Where can I find this pattern?? I'm a COMPLETE novice would I be able to do it? I have a very basic NECCHI machine 21 stitch. I'm looking for a garment that I can sink my teeth into as my forst project. Think this would be purrfect! :)
Apr 7, 2009, 11.50 AMby aleah
Would work great to all of us quite tall, slim and skinny girls. I really adore these kinds of dresses, I like them so much. :) Thanks!
Mar 31, 2009, 10.38 AMby emazon
I really love how this looks, but I know that I can't wear sack dresses and they just get worse when I add a belt. I wish the designers would do more dresses with waists. Smocks are much more popular as tops right now than dresses anyway. It feels very last year, and not very fresh.

Malissa, Malissa variations, Anda, Anda Variations and now Kathrine.
I'd like to see a frock that isn't so same-ish.
Mar 25, 2009, 06.20 AMby linda-ross
With all the front pleats this looks like a very elegant maternity dress. At the very least, friends and family will wonder why you didn't tell them and strangers will be asking when you are due. Of course, if you ARE pregnant, you will be in high style. I will not be making this dress.
Mar 25, 2009, 01.58 AMby wowandflutter
I do like the big boxy pleats. However, the shoes! The shoes! they are so pretty, is there a pattern for those ?
Mar 24, 2009, 04.49 PMby ionak
I really like the dress but to make it for me, I'd modify it a little. I think I'd sew down the front (middle?) pleats, at least to just above the waistline. That would give me the definition I prefer without comprising the line and style.
My first thought was a great winter dress (remember, the southern hemisphere is in autumn, it's not spring everywhere!) with a top underneath and leggings.
This dress typifies what I like about BurdaStyle patterns: stylish and contemporary design with room for modifications and variations.

I like your take on the situation…take what is given to you and make it better, FASHION!
Mar 24, 2009, 03.10 PMby sonipitts
Actually, I think I'd love to see this in a layered chiffon look (several layers of different colors) with gradated hem lengths. I think those pleats and the shape would be absolutely gorgeous in floaty layers of color.
I do agree with a few commentors that I'd probably put a band just under the bust to flatter my own shape better, although I'd have to try it out first without…you never know. Either way, it looks like it'd be comfortable as all get-out, and that's a biggie for me.
Mar 24, 2009, 03.09 PMby chrisjalys
I love this pattern. Can't wait to see the plus size version. I agree with the others who have queried the fabric used, I would prefer a softer more summery cotton. I almost never wear dresses but this one is tempting!
Mar 24, 2009, 03.05 PMby cmebd
I think its a cute little piece – great start for a "lady in waiting" style. With dughters starting to produce this will be helpful. Maybe the back can be adjusted somewhat.
Mar 24, 2009, 02.44 PMby annawilliamson
this is really cute in theory (and on a fashion model shaped girl), but i don't see it becoming a plus size without such drastic changes as to make it not in any way the same dress. curvy girls will just look fat in this dress – it completely robs us of the waistline that makes us so gorgeous!!
but all you skinny girls, go for it, it'll look great on you!
Mar 24, 2009, 02.08 PMby myartificialsunshine
I absolutely don't understand all the complaining about this dress! It's super cute and actually is a flattering cut—evidently some people have been wearing super un-flattering clothes. The lines are modern, and yet to me there is something timeless about it.
Mar 24, 2009, 01.52 PMby jmfast
Perfect for moms-to-be.
Mar 24, 2009, 12.10 PMby handyc
Ooh, not cute. I understand you wanted a crisp fabric to add definition to the pleats, but the shiny wool makes the arm scythes look bunchy and ill-fitting. It just looks rumpled. A fabric with a softer hand would have flowed over the body better and wouldn't look like so tent-like.
For itty bitty girls, this might work in a Mary Quant/Twiggy sort of way. But anyone with a moderate chest will look like they are wearing a big sack, no matter how fitted the back is.
Mar 24, 2009, 11.53 AMby benew
The white ruffle on the bottom of the dress is great. I really think the feeling of "feminine" tuxedo is really creative! I would definitely try put the sash around the waist though. The LARGE, vibrant satin bows around the neck is just…not cute. Yay burda!
Mar 24, 2009, 11.52 AMby nepherym
This would be great for anybody without boobs. Victor is right… this would be a fat-tent for anybody NOT shaped like a bean pole.
Mar 24, 2009, 11.40 AMby fr8rain
I don't think this design would be flattering on anyone either. Be comfy if you were pregnant.
Mar 24, 2009, 10.53 AMby jinxychan
I really love this. Beautiful, ladies! Thanks for another great dress for my closet!

This is a cute dress. I made a few last summer for by daughter but never thought of making myself one. I just love how it looks. Great job.

I like it very much. simple and stylish. I like it even better than the Paola dress. Lucky I saved my silk for it.
Mar 23, 2009, 10.31 PMby scriptandserif
I like it, but it is just me or does the back fit the model a little funny? It's almost as if she has a very muscular back or is hiding a pair of wings underneath…
Mar 23, 2009, 09.31 PMby cam557
Modern and chic… I love it!
Mar 23, 2009, 06.22 PMby auntchelle
I like this dress. I can see this being made in many different fabrics. I doubt it would suit a body shape with large breasts tho'. Whether you are a 'regular' size or plus size (me) if you have large boobs this will look like a maternity dress. I'll hold my opinion on the Plus size version until that is released.
Mar 23, 2009, 05.53 PMby arete999
Guys!This is just great!I love the dress!Great style,very modern! I think that it is a suitable pattern for big and small sizes.You can add sash or belt or use soft silk for flow effect.I will make this dress for myself for sure!
Mar 23, 2009, 04.06 PMby ditavee
Disagree about this not being suitable for a plus size. It's fitted at the back and with a belt under the bust and a pair of leggings, this would be great! A nice short fitted shrug would cover the arms if you wanted. it's heading into winter here so I'm really looking forward to adding it to my own wardrobe.
Mar 23, 2009, 03.30 PMby nikkishell
I love this dress and can see me wearing it through winter with thick tights and a long sleeve tee underneath!

Welcome to the Arlington Archosaur Site
The Arlington Archosaur Site is a prolific fossil site that was discovered in northern Arlington Texas by UT-Arlington students Phil Kirchhoff and Bill Walker along with local fossil collectors Art and Olivia Sahlstein in the summer of 2003. The site was later reported to Dr. Christopher R. Scotese at the UTA Earth Sciences Dept. and his geology graduate student Derek J. Main in the fall of 2003. Phil Kirchhoff and Bill Walker brought some of the fossils from the site to show to Derek J. Main for identification. Main identified the fossils as dinosaur teeth and vertebrae along with various crocodile scutes and teeth. Hence the origin of the name for the site, as dinosaurs and crocodiles both belong to the Archosaurs; the "Ruling Reptiles". Derek J. Main and the sites discoverers agreed to work the Arlington Archosaur Site as a collaborative effort.

I had to share this, because lately I've been having an amazing amount of luck on this site. GenForum is a forum run by Genealogy.com. It has subforums for seemingly ever surname, as well as for countries (and every U.S. state), and a bunch of general genealogy topics.
There must be a whole lot of genealogy angels on that site, because I've posted questions twice, and both times I've received an answer within a day or two, solving a problem that I've been working on for months. So if you've got a brick wall ancestor, I highly recommend you post your question on the relevant surname forum, and on the relevant country forum (the country forums tend to be more active and I've had more luck there). Post everything you know about the ancestor and immediate family, and you'll be amazed what people will find for you.
And of course, if you're a skilled genealogist, I recommend you spend some time reading people's questions on the forums, and hopefully helping people out. It would be a great way to give back to the community.
