A good Catholic girl's idea of 9 ˝ Weeks. Olive Films, which has the rights to all those cool Paramount library titles, has released Fire with Fire, the 1986
This Side of Hell Youth Honor Camp and Pretty Boy Depot, the Pacific Northwest, circa 1986. "New meat" inmate Joe Fisk (Craig Sheffer) is gonna get taught a lesson. He's gonna get taught a lesson real good on how not to be so pretty. He's gonna get taught a lesson real good on how not to be so rebellious. And that lesson is gonna get taught by TSOHYHC/PBD's warden, Mr. Duchard: the "Boss" (Jon Polito). You see, the "Boss" don't like rebellious, pretty boys...or maybe he likes them a whole lot, because he's always shoving that shotgun of his in their mouths and threatening to blow them away. Anyways, he's gonna make Joe pay for being so gorgeous by having him play "rabbit" in a game all honor camps situated out in the middle of nowhere play: the "Chase the Rabbit in the Woods as All the Boys Scatter in Different Directions, Making it Very Easy for Them to Escape" game. Doubling back and taking a shortcut, Joe has a vision: beautiful Lisa Taylor (Virginia Madsen), dressed as Shakespeare's Ophelia, begowned and floating on top of a limpid pool, staring right back at him.
You see, Lisa―who apparently has never heard of water moccasins, snapping turtles, crawfish, or 57 varieties of urinary tract parasites―is lying on a blow-up mattress in that fetid pond so she can take a picture of herself as Ophelia, just like the painting hanging in the hall at her school: the Immaculate Heart School for Girls Who Wear Uniforms But Not In That Sexy Way You Wished They Did Because They're Mostly Kids and Not 25-Year-Old Hot Models Who Look Great in Too-Small Catholic Girl School Uniforms school...which just happens to be down the hill from TSOHYHC/PBD. Well, needless to say, Lisa likes what she saw―she likes what she saw real bad. And so did Joe. He liked what he saw and he's thinking about it real hard. So Lisa devises a plan: guilt her Life Skills nun, Sister Marie (Jean Smart), into having IHSFGWWUBNITSWYWTDBTMKAN25YOHMWLGITSCGSU throw a dance for the TSOHYHC/PBD boys under the guise of "helping" these horny, wayward studs with zero impulse control skills. After padlocking the riding stables and hiding the pummel horses, the nuns decide this is a sensible idea and before you know it, the good girls of IHSFGWWUBNITSWYWTDBTMKAN25YOHMWLGITSCGSU are getting down on the dance floor with the bad boys of TSOHYHC/PBD. There's only one small problem...Lisa and Joe. They're in love, and nobody―not the penguins, not the latent homosexual guards, not the fuzz, not the pummel horses―is gonna keep their heaving, volcanic, hormonal bodies apart. Nobody.
Jesus, if only Fire with Fire was that good. Unfortunately, it's an exceedingly tame, unimaginative simp of a teen
If the movie obviously isn't original in conception, nor daring in execution, then can't it at least gives us the goods, give us the bare minimum of genre convention pleasures we expect from this kind of dopey slop? Where's the scene of Lisa's friends, warning her to stay away from Joey ("He's dangerous, Lisa! You better cool it! He's trouble...what's it like kissing him???")? The screenplay makes the mistake of shunting aside Lisa's parents...so who can she rebel against (not the nuns, who act saintly and understanding)? Where's the scene where the father flips out and the mother cries, and Lisa berates them for being rich and emotionally distant? And while we're there, why aren't the nuns whacking the sh*t out of her with a ruler and telling her she's going to Hell? We don't even get a decent indecent sex scene...so simple, puerile titillation for titillation's sake is out (a lame prank involving a rubber, sans Glans, is the dirtiest Fire with Fire gets). The only possible fun we have is unintentional: Cohen Bros.' darling Jon Polito in possibly one of the single worst performances of not the 80s...but of the 20th century (he's so aggressively terrible you begin to wonder if it's all a deliberate put-on...until you figure out that no one involved here is that clever). Fire with Fire is so small in scope, in limited conflict, it can't even go the opposite way into lyrical-yet-threatened romance. Hell, at least Brooke Shields' disaster, Endless Love, had the guts to be ridiculously over-the-top and passionate in its idiocy. Fire with Fire is so cautious (the kids don't even get together for an interminable hour) and tame and squeaky-voiced in its one or two mooning moments of love-at-first-sight, the viewer never buy they're teens with inflamed loins...let along future fugitives from justice and some kind of intolerance that's never really spelled out (it doesn't exactly help, either, that both Madsen and Sheffer so obviously don't look like teens here).
By the second half of the movie, you don't know what the hell is going on, because the continuity and editing are completely out of control; what you thought was going to be a story of forbidden love turns into an even more clichéd ABC After School Special. Was some frantic post-production tampering the cause of this, or was it the four writers credited (always a warning sign) that produced this choppy, rushed last act? Or was this all expected and planned; after all, this was the time when Hollywood studios were tuning into MTV to find their next big project or director, and Duncan Gibbins was certainly in that dubious vanguard, having helmed videos like George Michael's Careless Whisper and Glenn Frey's Smuggler's Blues. Maybe the suits just said, "Who cares if it makes sense? The kids have the right 'look,' it's got a soundtrack...put it in theaters before school lets out and make sure the promo video gets heavy rotation on MTV." Characters that had been built up to be...something, completely disappear (didn't you think D.B. Sweeney was going to be the main antagonist here, either challenging Joe somehow or attempting to rape Lisa?), and soon, Lisa and Joe are in a truck (where'd he get that and the gun?), heading off to a remote cabin to live on love with the cops in hot pursuit, like some cross between Sweet Hostage and First Blood. Nothing makes sense in these final moments (she's cooking eggs and bacon she's apparently trapped in the woods while he's pre-planning an escape route he couldn't possibly know he'd need), particularly that ludicrous fade-out (apparently the cops can't pursue them over the next hill...). But then again, by this point, you've long since quit asking questions of Fire with Fire, letting it go on its silly way...just like Lisa and Joe.

Thursday, 28 April 2011
For a screening at Adam Christensen's Hotel Garderobe, I'm going to show a film from 1964 called Portrait of Queenie, about the pub-landlady and jazz singer Queenie Watts, of the Ironbridge Tavern, East India Dock Road, Poplar, London. It seems like an apt film, with it's scenes of estates raising from the rubble of post-war devastation, and complicated mix of warm and misplaced nostalgia, to show at Hotel Garderobe; the empty flat in a condemned estate in Bermondsey, accessed through a wardrobe via a hole in the wall. Whilst doing some research, I found that Queenie had acted in many TV and film roles, including Up the Junction, and this Play for Today, Waterloo Sunset, from 1979. Don't have nightmares!

Quick Facts
A Call to Action
- Action Item:
- Arts Afire
- Year Accomplished:
- 2013
Everyone knows that art works in wondrous ways. For the National Park Service, it was the artists and photographers of the late 1800s who captured the imaginations of the American public, leading to the designation of the first national parks. Today, contemporary artists generate that same energy and excitement through residencies in over 50 parks nationwide. A new website, http://www.visitnationalparkarts.org/, showcases these adventuresome artists and their artworks, giving us a new palette to spark imagination about our national parks.
The online exhibit organizes works from over 100 artists into six visual art galleries, a multi-media gallery, and a writing anthology. The site is designed to have changing exhibits, a children's section, and a section called "More Arts", which can include Call to Action projects related to #10 Arts Afire. Moving forward, it may be possible to have an online opening for a major centennial and worldwide art exhibition.
This inaugural exhibit is an amazing start. When you visit the site, look through each of the six galleries of art—each uniquely themed—and think how your favorite national park might look if it were pictured on canvas, in artistic words, or through sound and moving image.
Wondering which parks have programs or how you or someone you know can become an artist-in-resident? Visit https://www.nps.gov/getinvolved/artist-in-residence.htm and notice the featured painting. Entitled Nightlight Angel's Window, by Grand Canyon Artist-in-Resident Jennifer Carney, this artist and painting came to our attention as a result of the call for entries for the new website.
Visitingnationalparksart.org is the brainchild of consultant Kerrie Bellisaro & Associates in collaboration with Swim Design web designer/ developer. The project was managed by Linda Cook, WEFA, Charles Tracy, NET, in partnership with New England Foundation for the Arts with assistance from Rick Kendall, SAGA, Christina Marts, MABI, Rene Westbrook, GRCA, Xiomaro, photographer, and Michael Liang, NER.

Noone is being forced. They don't have to use the library if they don't want too. The only restriction it places on software linked against it, is that you can't hoarde it.

Roy Halladay For Cliff Lee: It Could Happen, But Should Phillies Do It?December 12, 2009
With the winter meetings over and the Phillies' bench restocked, fans have turned their attention to Ruben Amaro Jr.'s non-attempts to trade for Toronto's Roy Halladay. What was once an exercise in prospect roulette may have taken a turn towards blockbuster.
FOXSport's Ken Rosenthal thinks there is a good possibility the Phils could dangle playoff and World Series stud Cliff Lee as part of a potential Halladay deal. The gist of it being the Phillies trade Lee for a bevy of prospects and then flip some or all of them to Toronto for Halladay. Halladay would get a contract extension in exchange for him waiving his no-trade clause.
Would this make sense though?
What it may do is keep some of the Phillies' top prospects like Dominic Brown and Kyle Drabek safely off the table and secure a right handed ace to go alongside erstwhile ace Cole Hamels. Halladay is battle-tested against the American League behemoths New York and Boston, and while many will scoff at the Phils' rotation being to lefty-heavy, Halladay would bring a nice balance. Philadelphia may also be able to hold onto a prospect they receive for Lee.
Does this dramatically improve the Phils? Lee is as much of an ace as Halladay and showed he could be counted on in the post-season. He's a year younger than Halladay as well (31 to 32). Halladay also has an injury history.
Halladay and Lee are both aces, but for my money (which it's not) Doc is the ace of aces. A guy who will take the ball at the start of each game with every intention of getting that ball back from the catcher at the end. He's faced down the big bullies on the block season after season and never blinked. Giving up Lee isn't ideal but if that's what it takes to lock up Halladay it has to be done.

Let's look at the default theme (garland) and customize it.
We can customize the following features:
- Color scheme, either based on a color set, or by changing the individual colors
- If certain elements, such as the logo, are displayed
- The logo
- The favicon
Back in the Themes section of the Administer area, there is a configure link next to each theme; if we click this we are taken to the theme's configuration page.
Although Doug ideally wants a new theme that is unique to his website, he also wants to have a look at a few different options for the default theme. In particular, he wants to add his company's logo to the website and try a number of red color schemes as those are his corporate colors.
Color Scheme
The color scheme settings are quite intuitive and easy to change. We can either:
- Select a color set
- Change each color by entering the hexadecimal color codes (the # followed by 6 characters)
- Select the colors from the color wheel
To change a color using the color wheel, we need to click on the color type (base color, link color, etc.) to select it and then chose the general color from the wheel and the shade of the color from the square within.
When we change the colors or color set, the preview window below the settings automatically updates to reflect the color change.
The following color sets are available:
- Blue Lagoon (the default set)
- Ash
- Aquamarine
- Belgian Chocolate
- Bluemarine
- Citrus Blast
- Cold Day
- Greenbeam
- Meditarrano
- Mercury
- Nocturnal
- Olivia
- Pink Plastic
- Shiny Tomato
- Teal Top
- Custom
Quite a number of these are red-based color schemes, let's look into them, they are:
- Belgian Chocolate
- Meditarrano
- Shiny Tomato
Belgian Chocolate Color Set
The Belgian Chocolate color set uses a dark red header with a gradient starting with black flowing into a dark red color. The page's background is a cream color and the main content area has a white background as illustrated by the picture below:
Mediterrano Color Set
The Mediterrano color set uses a lighter red color where the gradient in the header starts with a light orange color which then flows into a light red color. Similar to the Belgian Chocolate color scheme the background is cream in color with a white background for the content area.
Shiny Tomato Color Set
The Shiny Tomato color set has a gradient header that starts with deep red and flows into a bright red color. The page's background is light grey with white background for the main content area, reflecting a professional image.
The Shiny Tomato color set uses a red scheme which is in Doug's logo and he feels this set is the most professional of the three and wants us to use that.
Toggle Display
With the toggle display options, we can select the elements we wish to display on our site, these include:
- Logo
- Site name
- Site slogan
- Mission statement
- User pictures in posts
- User pictures in comments
- Search box
- Shortcut icon
By default Site Slogan, User pictures in posts, User pictures in comments, and Search box are disabled, the rest are already enabled. Unfortunately with this theme we can only enable the Site Slogan; the other three options cannot be enabled with our choice of theme.
Doug initially wanted the slogan to be enabled; however, because of the length of his slogan, users with a small screen would not see the website name or the slogan:
The slogan and site name will only be displayed if we have a larger screen as illustrated below:
Because of this problem, Doug decided it was not worth leaving the option enabled!

As Doug also wants his logo to go into the website, we need to uncheck the option for using the default logo and select the logo file to upload.
Once the logo has been uploaded, the website's header immediately updates to include the logo we have just uploaded, as shown below:
Shortcut Icon Settings
The final option for customizing the sites theme is the Shortcut icon settings. The shortcut icon is the favicon displayed in the address bar of our browser next to the web address. By default, this is a small version of the Drupal logo.
Let's customize this to a small version of Doug's logo. Graphics editing programs have little provisions for creating icon files, so let's use a web-based tool to turn the logo into a favicon. We can use http://www.htmlkit.com/services/favicon/, which is a popular online favicon generator.
On this website we can upload our logo:
Once the image has been uploaded, a preview of the icon is displayed on the site and we can download a copy of it.
Now that we have our favicon generated and downloaded, we can upload it to our website:
Once this is uploaded our favicon updates automatically, as shown below:
The Customized Skin
These changes leave us with a skin that looks like this:
Doug is really pleased with these changes, and thinks it is a massive improvement on the default theme.
We have just seen how to customize the default theme in Drupal. It's just one of the many ways in which we can manipulate themes in Drupal.

Consumer Spending Picks Up in U.S. as Incomes Increase
Consumer spending climbed in February by the most in three months as a pickup in incomes (PITLCHNG) encouraged Americans to return to stores after a harsh winter held the economy back.
Household purchases, which account for almost 70 percent of the economy, rose 0.3 percent after a 0.2 percent gain in January that was weaker than previously estimated, according to Commerce Department figures today in Washington. The increase matched the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists. Incomes also advanced 0.3 percent.
The January revision to the spending data showed the economy suffered even more from the frigid weather at the start of the year than previously projected, prompting economists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and RBS Securities Inc. to cut first-quarter growth forecasts. That underscores the need for bigger increases in employment to spur wage gains and purchases.
"The February numbers are fine, but there was a big revision moving January down," said Guy Berger, a U.S. economist at RBS Securities in Stamford, Connecticut, who correctly forecast the gain in spending. "That additional boost in employment that we're probably going to see in March, and maybe one or two of the other spring months, is probably going to boost income growth."
Disposable income, or the money left over after taxes, rose 0.3 percent after adjusting for inflation, the most since September. It climbed 2.1 percent from February 2013. Wages and salaries increased 0.2 percent after a 0.3 percent gain.
Stocks rose after a two-day slide as consumer shares rebounded. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index advanced 0.5 percent to 1,857.62 at the close in New York.
Stocks Rise
Today's report showed that inflation-adjusted consumer spending, used to calculate gross domestic product, increased 0.2 percent, also the best performance since November, after a 0.1 percent advance the previous month.
JPMorgan lowered its first-quarter GDP estimate to a 1.5 percent annual rate from 2 percent after data including consumer purchases for January and capital spending came in weaker than expected, according to a note today to clients.
"A sense of the true underlying momentum of the recovery remains elusive," chief U.S. economist Michael Feroli wrote in the note. "Of course, the biggest question mark is the unseasonably cold and stormy weather and the degree to which that may have temporarily depressed activity."
RBS Securities revised down the pace of first-quarter growth to about 1.2 percent from 1.5 percent, while Credit Suisse lowered its estimate to 1.3 percent from 1.6 percent.
Consumer Sentiment
Consumers were less optimistic in March as well, other figures showed today. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final reading fell to a four-month low of 80 from 81.6 in February. At the same time, the report showed one in three of those surveyed said their financial situation would improve in the coming year, the highest share since June 2009.
Confidence in Europe increased more than forecast, a report showed today. An index of executive and consumer sentiment rose to the highest level since July 2011, according to the European Commission in Brussels.
Today's spending report showed purchases of durable goods, including automobiles, increased 0.1 percent after adjusting for inflation following a 0.4 percent drop in January. Purchases of non-durable goods, which include gasoline, gained 0.3 percent.
Household outlays on services climbed 0.2 percent after adjusting for inflation. In addition to health care, the category also includes utilities, tourism, legal help and personal care items such as haircuts. This makes it typically difficult for the government to estimate accurately in the preliminary report.
Limited Inflation
Today's data also showed the core price measure, which excludes fuel and food, rose 1.1 percent from a year ago, the same as in January.
Total prices, which are the ones tracked by Federal Reserve policy makers, were up 0.9 percent from February 2013, the smallest year-to-year gain since October. That remains well below the central bank's 2 percent goal.
Fed officials are monitoring the recovery as they pursue plans to gradually dial back their bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing. The central bank reduced its monthly pace of bond purchases by $10 billion, to $55 billion, on March 19.
"Growth in economic activity slowed during the winter months, in part reflecting adverse weather conditions," the Fed said in a statement announcing the change. Even so, "there is sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing improvement in labor-market conditions."
Labor Market
Payrolls climbed by 175,000 in February after a 129,000 gain a month earlier, Labor Department data showed earlier this month. The jobless rate rose to 6.7 percent from 6.6 percent, a five-year low, as more people entered the labor force and couldn't find work.
Employment increased in 33 states in February, while the jobless rate declined in 29, the agency said today. California and Texas led the nation in payroll gains last month.
The three months ended February marked the coldest winter since 2009-2010, according to the National Climactic Data Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. On Feb. 11-14, a winter storm brought snow and ice from the Southeast to the Northeast.
More than 450 of Gap (GPS)'s stores were closed for at least one day in February due to weather, Katrina O'Connell, the retailer's vice president of investor relations, said on a March 6 conference call. The San Francisco-based company reported that sales at stores open at least a year fell 7 percent in February, compared with a 3 percent gain a year earlier.
Winter Weather
"Once the storms subsided, we saw sales trends improved in the second half of the month," O'Connell said.
The severe winter weather has made it difficult to detect underlying consumer trends, said Karen Hoguet, chief financial officer at Macy's Inc. The department-store chain posted revenue of $9.2 billion for the quarter ended January, compared with $9.35 billion in the same period a year ago.
"We've had such up and down weather that it's a little bit harder to know what's weather, what's the consumer, what's really happening," Hoguet said on a March 25 conference call. Even so, "I don't think I would say that the consumer is overwhelmingly excited about spending."

Liverpool Transfer News: Reds Must Convince Underrated Martin Skrtel to StayMay 18, 2012
Ever since Kenny Dalglish was removed from his post as manager earlier in the week, there has been a run of Liverpool players reconsidering their futures. One star the Reds can't let get away is defender Martin Skrtel, who had a terrific season despite the team's lackluster results.
According to the Daily Mirror, Skrtel has requested a meeting with team officials to get a better understanding of the club's direction and his place in the future. His agent said getting a new deal done with the club would also be part of the talks.
"We want to discuss with Liverpool what they want and, of course, we will discuss the issue of Martin's new contract.
"You cannot say Liverpool won't play in the Champions League. It is a big club and because they haven't made it this year doesn't mean they would not next."
"There are expectations on both sides, though."
It's no surprise the 27-year-old Slovakian would be hoping to capitalize on a great season. He was named the team's player of the year and should have plenty of prime years left. That makes him a valuable commodity Liverpool can't afford to lose.
The Reds had to know they would have to do some damage control after finishing the Premier League season in eighth place, 13 points behind a European spot. Letting go of Dalglish was a move that should help convince players they are still aiming for greatness.
That's key because when players go to Liverpool, they expect a chance to play in major tournaments and compete for the league title. Even though they ended their trophy drought in the Carling Cup, more success is necessary in order to keep attracting top talent.
Since finding upgrades on the transfer market won't be easy after a rough campaign, it's more important than ever that the Reds don't lose their stars and risk falling even further behind the dominant Manchester clubs and the other contenders.
Skrtel should be atop the list of players they need to keep. His steady presence took a lot of pressure off his fellow defenders, allowing the team to finish in a tie for third place in goals against. Without him, that's not possible.
Liverpool's down season meant he didn't get the recognition he deserved, but the Reds' executives who watched him on a weekly basis understand how important he has become to the team's success.
Knowing that, the Reds have to do everything they can to show Skrtel they will be competitive next season to make sure he stays in a Liverpool uniform for a long time.

So, according to the Bush administration, the scientific proof is not conclusive that the consumption of junk food helps cause obesity. Let's see, the White House can find WMDs in the flimsiest of intelligence, but it doesn't believe decades of research showing a link between high-fat, high-sugar foods and weight gain? Hmmm.
The United States is contesting a report by the World Health Organization that does make that connection, as well as opposing the WHO's plans to combat that epidemic without some significant changes. ...
OK, OK, so fast food doesn't cause fat people, undisciplined appetites do. ... We don't underestimate personal responsibility. Everybody should exercise.
All we know is, obesity-related medical costs hit an estimated $75 billion in this country last year ..., according to a recent study done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with others. So we have a health-care-cost crisis in this country, but the Bush administration wants to ignore the influence of obesity on those costs. Apparently they fear the U.S. Sugar Association, which last year lobbied Congress to end its WHO funding unless this obesity report was killed, more than they do the American Medical Association. Perhaps it's time to reconsider sugar subsidies.
Stuff like this just makes America look silly to a rest of the world we expect to help us when we go off and attack somebody because he allegedly has WMDs. ...

Looks nice. Shame that you'll have to buy a lovely, shiny new crankset to use it!
Something nice, shiny and new from White Industries: quick release pedals. And crucially this isn't a new axle standard or anything, just a clever way to quickly swap your existing pedals. 'I bought myself a travel bike and I had trouble taking the pedals off so I decided to do something about it', Doug White told us, and this new crank is the result.
The system consists of a crank that houses a brass insert. You screw your pedal into the insert and it slides into place, held firm by a clasp at the rear. to release the pedal you just press the brass button and slide the clasp up, and then you can pull the insert out. With a separate set of inserts for each set of pedals, switching from flats for the city to cleats for a long ride should take just seconds.
Should? Well, White Industries haven't quite got to the point where you can buy the system yet, although Doug is confident that by Interbike they'll be taking orders. There's still a bit more testing to be done, specifically in British conditions: wet, muddy, gritty, you know them well. 'Let's see if the pedals pop in and out so easily then', Doug said.

OK for
Many years ago when I was still practicing law representing major
corporations, I met a young $20,000 a year bookkeeper working for one of
the corporations I represented in Chicago. We became fast friends. He
was eventually transferred to Los Angeles, quit to take a CFO job with a
small company that was then taken over by a huge conglomerate. The CEO
of the conglomerate met him, liked him, and eventually promoted him to
Chief Operating Officer of the entire corporation. He wanted me to
become General Counsel but I declined. The point of this is that during
most of our friendship he was a nice guy, a lot of laughs, who was very
successful with women. However, as he obtained more power in the
Corporation he would regale me with stories of how he was
psychologically abusive to underlings who didn't perform up to his high
expectations. As his personality changed, we drifted apart. I mention
this because watching Steve Jobs in this movie reminded me a lot of him,
especially in the abusive way he treated underlings.
Unlike some recent movies claiming to be biopics but are sheer fiction,
this tells the story of now legendary Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), the founder
of Apple, by graphically capturing his mercurial personality. Jobs, who
died young, transformed world society by developing a personal computer
that was user-friendly and worked. While Bill Gates and his Microsoft
get most of the credit for the spread of the personal computer, all they
did was develop (or obtain from others) the software that runs what was
originally the IBM PC (which hit the market half a decade after the
first Apples), Jobs created the industry from scratch, actually building
both the computers and software with no model from which to work. IBM
and Gates basically stole the concept from Jobs and took credit for it.
Masterfully directed by Joshua Michael Stern from an effective script by
Matt Whiteley, Jobs' character is established at the beginning when he
dumps his high school sweetheart when she becomes pregnant and continues
to deny paternity. This establishes a puzzling dichotomy in his
character. He is portrayed as constantly bothered by his being
abandoned at birth by his birth parents, but as someone who goes around the world to seek spiritual
enlightenment, on the one hand, but on the other he has no sympathy for
someone he caused to enter the earth being abandoned by him, her parent, just
as he was. Why wouldn't he be über-sympathetic to a daughter he fathered
out of wedlock instead of making her go through what he when through?
Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad, in a sensitive performance) gets sort of short
shrift here. He was the technical expert who actually designed and built
the first Apple Computer, but he takes a back seat to Jobs' volatile
temperament. However, the movie is right on here because there are lots
of great ideas. The ones that succeed are the ones that are driven by a
leader with vision and the ability to market, manufacture, and deliver.
movie barely touches on what Jobs did after he was summarily dismissed
from Apple and started NEXT. It also virtually ignores Jobs' development
of the Ipod and Iphone, and I would have dearly loved to have learned
more about these periods of his life. But it is very good in showing how
Jobs drove the initial startup of Apple, how he put the entire thing
together, and created today's world that is dominated by the personal
really nice thing about the movie is that the scenes of Jobs and Wozniak
building the first Apple Computer in the garage of Jobs' adoptive
parents were shot in the real garage where they actually did the work.
Knowing that is like watching history as its being made.
are also fine performances by Dermot Mulroney as one of the first
investors who becomes a Benedict Arnold to Jobs, Matthew Modeine as John Sculley, recruited from Pepsi by Jobs
himself to take over as CEO of Apple, only to take a big part in Jobs'
ouster, the always impressive JK Simmons as Chairman of the Board Arthur
Rock, and Kevin Dunne as Gil Amelio, the Apple CEO who brings Jobs back
on board, only to be dumped by Steve.
My cousin's husband started and ran BBDO Mexico. Here's what my cousin
says about Jobs, "We
had Apple as a client and introduced Apple II and Macintosh in Mexico.
We went to an Apple event in Hawaii and met Steve Jobs. I remember him
in a white shirt, red suspenders and jeans. We danced...... He was cocky
but who wouldn't be......... A cool a--hole!" And that's the way Kutcher
plays him.
gives an award-quality performance and looks so much like Jobs that when
the cast is shown at the end of the film in side by side photos with the
people they portrayed, it's hard to tell which one is the real Jobs. Not
only that, his walk is stunning similar to the way Jobs walked. In fact,
each member of the cast looks remarkably similar to the people they
played except for Gad, who really doesn't look too much like the real
Highlighted by Kutcher's compelling performance, this is an entertaining
and educational movie, capturing Jobs' irritating personality marching
to his own beat.

What was the evolutionary reason for different shapes of eyes? Eastern Asian eyes in particular.
Eyes, like any other physical feature such as height, skin color, and shape of teeth for example, are influenced by the interaction of genes with the environment. We evolve features that best suit the environment and in the case of East Asians, the shape of their eyes has to do with limiting the amount of sand entering them. When the first North Asians entered that part of the world some 25, 000 years ago, they were exposed to extreme sand storms from the Gobi desert, thus evolving the more oval eye shape through time.
What is important to understand is that:
Genotype (genes) + Environment = Phenotype (physical features)

The little city of Linton, a place remarkable
for the sobriety, industry and
morality of 'its people is just emerging
from a thrilling scene which shook
the whole community with nervous excitement,
and that came near to destroying
the fire of faith in humanity
which has so long burned brightly in
the bosoms of those easy-going, honest
country folk.
The journey I have just completed
was one of haste, and my stay in Linton
was much shorter than I had hoped of
it might be; but I was there sufficiently
long to witness the closing scenes of a
remarkable trial, and one that will be
long remembered by the people of that
quiet town, and be talked of as the city's
The Linton Bank is one of the interesting
institutions not only of Linton,-but
of the whole county in which it is
situated. It has long been noted for
its financial stability, and its officers
and clerks have many years borne the
name of "Linton's Conservatives,"
which was given them for their perfect
honesty and firm adherence to strict
banking principles.
One of my first movements after I
had arrived and partaken of a wholesome
noonday meal, a la rural district,
was to visit the bank for the purpose of
having a check cashed.
As the teller handed me a small
package of greenbacks, I observed that
my old friend, President Goodnow, who
Was sitting: near the huge doors of the
iron vault, was looking me sharply in
the face. He seemed to have observed
that the new iron and wire railing,
the teller's corner from the
outer part of the room, had strongly
attracted my attention, and from
my looks iudged that I was
noting the changed appearance of
things, and, therefore, naturally inferred
that I was not a stranger at the
counter. But the teller's face was a
strange one to me, and that, with the
new railing and wirework, had created
iwithin a feeling of inquisitiveness which
'l could not hide.
, The bank President arose from his
.chair, raised his glasses from his eyes,
,and walked toward the railing which
separated us. He soon recognized me,
and I was greeted in. his usually warm
and friendly style.
"I saw yon were interested to understand
why all these radical changes in
our little bank," said Mr. Goodnow,
"and, from the .manner in which you
looked at the strange face at the teller's
desk, and the wire-work surrounding it,
1 concluded at once that you were not- a
stranger o us."
' "Yes," said I, "it looked so strange
to me that I' almost '.doubted for a moment
that I was in the place that! had
supposed it to be. But I got a glimpse
of your familiar face and my doubts
were dispelled.! Tell me, Mr. Goodnow,"
I continued, "wHat is the cause
of this change?"
"Yes. I will." renlied the old gentle
man in whichhe assured me that his tender
sympathies were aroused on the subject.
'I will . tell you the circumstances
as far as fchey have gone," he said, with
deep feeling, "and I can assure you that
it is a sad story you shall hear. But, as
we talk, I, will ask you to walk with me.
I must be at the court room promptly at
two. I shall be glad to have you with
me if you have time,11 and the aged man
wiped the sweat from his brow, and
pushed back the white locks which
partly concealed his pleasant face.
"Indeed, Mr. Goodnow," I answered,
"it will be a pleasure to accompany
you; I will most happily accept your invitation.','
"Poor John .Earnest isin jail fortheft.
I would almost as easily expected to be
there myself as to see John Earnest in
jail. I could scarcely have believed it
had the facts not "come before my own
eyes, arid'even1 now it seems as though
it must Be a,., dream." -The tones in
which these words were uttered were
sufficient to tell me of deep sadness in
the old man's heart-as he was speaking.
"Yes," Mf.fc Goodnow continued, "John

hat JobatrjMgtthat faitnfuLantelbxl
gent man, who has served you so long
and so well, is now in jail for theft?"
"He is,?' was the trembling reply.
"He is charged with having stolen a
package of money contaimng $5,000
from our bank."
"Is it possible?" And what are the
circumstances? pray let me -know," I
asked, with great impatience. H
"The circumstances," said my friend, if
"are that a package containing $5,000
missed from our bank, and we have
never been able to account for its disappearance
upon any theory or supposition
save that John must have known
what became of it. He declares, of
course, that he does not, but- all the circumstances
point so strongly to his
guilt that I am in great doubt. If there
were any reasonable theory upon which
could base a presumption, or any evidence
at all pointing to his innocence, I
should readily accept his word as the
truth,. although it was against all the
evidence produced by an examination
the books.
''It was on a busy Saturday that the
shortage occurred or, at least, so far
any of us know. In closing business
the bank, Saturday afternoon, John
asked our cashier, Mr. Westnian, if he
had put away a package of money from
teller's desk. Mr. Westman said he
had not, and John carefully looked over
cash again, and finallypacked it up
and put it in the vault. He checked
over his cash entries and balanced his
books as -if all were right. Sunday
mormng Mr. "Westman called for me,
and asked if I would go with him to the
bank. I consented, and when inside
the bank Mr. Westman said he wanted
examine John's cash. We made a
careful count and compared the money
with the book, and found the cash was
even $5,000 short. We said nothing
about it until Monday morning when
met John at the bank. Mr. West-man
then asked him if ho bad balanced
cash on Saturday: His face was
slightly flushed, and he said that he had
balanced the cash-book, but that his
cash was short, and he did not stop to
see what the trouble was. He said it
was short $5,000 as he supposed, but he
expected a careful examination on Monday
would show where the mistake
ws. Then followed an examination
and a re-examination, and still another
trial at finding the lost money. All attempts
were fruitless, and an expert
was employed. The expert corroborated
the other trials, and reported to
the board that there could be no doubt
about it that John Earnest was positively
short in his cash to the amount
$5,000. The matter was placed in
the hands of detectives, and John was
arrested. It was discovered that soon
after the money was missed John paid
off a mortgage on his mother's house,
and that fact gave the detectives as
they thought a direct clew to his guilt.
When John was arrested his bondsmen
came forward and offered to make good
the loss, but John positively declined
and refused to allow that to be done.
He declared his innocence, and said he
could prove where the money came from
to pay off the mortgage. He would
rather suffer imprisonment and a trial
than to have his bondsmen pay for what
he had not' stolen, and thereby be considered
a thief. He demanded, a trial.
This is probably his last day in court,
and I see no chance whatever for the
poor boy to escape the full penalty of
the law. I admit being greatly in doubt
about his guilt, and it will be a terrible
blow upon me to see John Earnest taken
to prison. It would be almost as hard
as to see my own child taken there."
And with these words the old gentleman
tremblingly shook his white locks and
wiped his moistened eyes.
We were now at the court-house steps,
and we slowly ascended to the commodious
court-room. An immense throng
had gathered around the building, and
when we entered the court-room we
found it completely packed, and the
doors guarded to prevent further ingress
of the crowd. My companion passed
me in, and led the way down the aisle to
a seat in the space reserved for counsel
and witnessess. A few minutes later
the prisoner came in under escort of a
-deputy sheriff. The face was natural,
and was the one I had expected to see
at the counter where I went to get my
check cashed. The prisoner looked"
pale, however, from the severe trouble
he had evidently been passing through.
But his clear skin, soft, glossy dark hair,
bright eyes, and f ae beaming with intelligence
and good nature, all helped
to inspire his friends with confidence in
his innocence. It was a picture for an
artist as every eve was turned toward
the smooth-faced young prisoner. The
old gentleman leaned over to me, and
in a whisper said, as the tears came to
his ej'es: "Isn't it a sorrowful picture?
Isn't he the type of a noble man? And
my poor daughter she was deeply in
love with him. I wouldn't have it
happen for half I'm worth."
Before I could ask any question,
though I was now more thorougly than
before awakened in the case, the Judge
took his seat, the jury were escorted to
their box, and the court was called to
order. Just then a small boy came tiptoeing
through the crowd, and beckoned
to the deputy sheriff. I heard him
say: "Here's a message for Mr. Earnest."
The telegram was placed in the prisoner's
hands. He nervously opened the
wrapper, read it, and passed it to his
counsel. The attorney for the State
had just arisen, and and asked to recall
the expert who had examined the books.
The request was granted. A series of
what seemed to me quite unimportant
questions were asked and answered.
The witness was excused, and, just as
the State Attorney was about to arise,
the counsel for the prisoner sprang to
his feet and.addressed the court:

oiilsT was read, as follows:

bequest. Take courage, all shall be well.
Peter Porter. '
After the telegram had been read the
State Attorney arose, and addressed the
"I see no reason, your Honor, why
this trial should be delayed upon the
strength of tras telegram, lhere is no
evidence to show that it is genuine, and
that point be admitted there is no
evidence to show that the testimony to
be thus secured will establish the innocence
of the prisoner. Even though it
be proven that the author of the telegram
is the uncle of the prisoner, as is
alleged, and that he will be able to satisfactorily
prove how the prisoner came
with the money to pay off the mortgage,
that will remove only one of the
strong circumstances which go to prove
his guilt. There are other circumstances,
as your Honor is aware, upon
which he may be convicted. 1 trust,
your Honor, that this shall not be
deemed of sufficient importance to grant
postponement of this case."
The able counsel for the prisoner
then followed with an eloquent agument
in favor of a postponement. W hile he
was talking a beautiful young lady entered
the court-room. She was at once
the observed of all observers, and an
almost deathlike silence stole over the
immense audience as she carefull,
though evidently under great excitement,
followed an officer of the court until
they reached the railing within which
sat the counsel and witnesses.
As soon as the young lady's presence
was observed by my elderly companion
he arose auicklv and hastened toward
her, showing signs of surprise to see her
there. The two held a short whispered
conversation the young lady point-in
o- to a small package which she
held in her hand. My elderly friend
evinced by his movements, excitement.
He opened the little gate leading through
the railing, the young lady stepped inside
and took a seat near the counsel
for the prisoner.
When the lawyer had finished his remarks
he turned round and bowed
gracefully to the young lad', and they
shook hands. A few whispers passed
between them, and the attorney, amid
a breathless suspense of the spectators,
and Vhile every eye in the room was
upon the person who last entered, arose,
and said: "If your Honor please, and
with the consent of the learned counsel
for the State, while I was speaking an
important witness in this case entered
this room. That witness is now here
willing to testify, and I beg the privilege
of introducing further testimony."
"At this the attorne' for the State
arose and said: "I have no objection,
your Honor, to receiving any testimony
which is important to a fair and impartial
trial of the accused. I consent
to the gentleman's request of
course, upon his honor that the testimony
is important and material."
"I call Miss Nettie Goodnow," the
prisoner's attorney said.
The Judge bowed very politely as the
young lady arose, and he said: "Miss
Goodnow," you will please take this
chair," pointing to the witness-stand.
The directions were obeyed, and the
oath administered. The usual questions
as to the acquaintance with the case and
the prisoner followed.
Then came the question; "Will you
please inform the court and the jury as
to the nature of the package you hold
in your hand, Miss Goodnow?"
The witness carefully unfolded the
pa6kage as she replied: "This is the
package of money, sir, which was taken
from the Linton Bank on Saturday, the
tenth day of last month five thousand
dollars!" and she held it up that the
Court might get a view of it.
"From whom, or where, did you get
this rnone', Miss Goodnow?" continued
the counsel.
"I found it to-day at the house of Mr.
Henry Black, and among a bundle of
papers belonging to George westman,
the brother of Cashier Westman, of Linton
This reply came like a thunderbolt
from heaven, and the excitement which
followed was so great that the Court
rapped vigorously upon his desk before
order could be restored.
The counsel for the accused stepped
forward, and taking the package of
money placed it before the Court saying:
"If your Honor please, we desire
to offer this package of money as a part
of our-evidence in this case."
A paper held in the young lady's hand
was a letter from George Westman addressed
to her, and which gave a clew
to the true history of the robbery.
Young Westman was the brother oi
the cashier. He was in love with Nettie
Goodnow, the daughter of President
Goodnow, and knowing that John Earnest
was the young lady's favorite he
planned and carried out a scheme to
steal the money in such a way that suspicion
would rest upon the young teller,
and through the disgrace thus produced
the attachment between the couple
would be broken off. The letter in the
young lady's hands was from George
Westman, confessing to her his crime,
telling her where the money . was, and
- -
begginj her toget it and not inform on
him. It contained direful threats if she
should dare to reveal the truth, or refuse
to send him the money.
As soon as the letter had been examined
by the counsel an agreement was
made for a postponement. Young
Earnest allowed his friends to give
bonds for his appearance the next day,
and there was not a dry eye in the
court-room when the accused man
started toward the door and was stopped
by the sweet voice of the young lady
who approached him with an extended
hand, sympathetically saying: "We
have never lost confidence in your honesty,
John. You shall be free to-morrow."
The remainder of my story can be as
easily imagined as told. John Earnest
is again teller of Linton Bank. Cashier
Westman is one of his best friends. The
cash is no longer short, and though
George Westman is not to be found, his
honorable brother has paid all the costs
in suit, and no charges have been preferred
gainst the guilty person. I shall
not be surprised to receive, ere long,
cards inviting me to witness an interesting
ceremony, which, I understand, is
to take place at the residence of President
Goodnow. American Counting-Room,

A Marvelous Marksman.
There is m town at the present time a
party who has an interesting and eventful
history. The person is Charles Wallace,
who was born in Missouri in 1843,
and from his boyhood until the breaking
out of the rebellion was engaged in hunting
and trapping. When the call came
for soldiers he responded, enlisted in the
4th Missouri regiment, and served
throughout the .rebellion. He was in
Andersonvilie, Libby, Bell. Isle, and
Florence prisons. At the first named
he was sentenced to be shot July, 17,
1863. The night preceding the day on
which he was to meet his death, he with
seven others, managed to escape. They
managed in the darkness to get close to
the guard, when a companion named
Bob Allison, of Connecticut, threw a
preparation of fine, dry tobacco and
pepper into the guard's face.
At the conclusion of his war experience
Wallace went on the plains as a
scout, carrying with him in his body
nine bullets, seven of which can be dis
tinctly felt. During a fight with a party
of Apache Indians he had a personal encounter
with one of the chiefs of the
tribe, named Osceoneo. The fight was
a hand-to-hand one, and meant death to
one or both. Wallace received a dagger
thrust through the palm of his left hand,
and was also held by the throat. He
then drew his revolver with his right
hand, and, twisted his free arm across
his back, shot the chief dead. The
knife with which he was stabbed was
combined with a revolver, having in
one weapon a scalping-knife, dagger
and shooting-iron. In the handle was a
chamber of poison, with which to make
the work of the instrument still more
dangerous. As mementoes of this fight
the scout carries with him the miniature
arsenal described and the scalp of

The Grazing Region.
What is generally known as the gracing
country of the Far West, is a region
stretching over 2,000 miles north and
south by 1,000 miles east and west: and
comprises Arizona, Colorado, Western
Dakota, Indian Territorj', Western Kansas,
Western Nebraska, New Mexico,
Montana, Eastern Utah, Wyoming and
portions of Oregon and Nevada. Into
these grazing grounds, this year, Missouri
sent 55,000 one and two-year-old
heifers and cows; the eastern half of
Kansas about 20,000; Iowa about 25,000;
Minnesota, 15,000; Louisiana, 10,000;
Mississippi. 10,000; Tennessee, 5,000;
Florida, 15,000; Illinois and Kentucky,
5,000; and driven into Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona from Old Mexico
about 30,000. Oregon and Washington
sent into Montana, Wyoming and Dakota
fully 20,000. And into this same country
about 20,000 young thoroughbred
and high-grade bulls were sent from
different Eastern and Middle States.
The cost of yearlings from Missouri,
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska was from
$17 to $21 per head; two-year-olds, $23
to $28 per head; young dry cows, $30 to
$35 per head. From Arkansas and
further south the price per head
was from three to six dollars less, owing
to quality, and from Old Mexico $10 was
a good price for yearlings, $12 for
$16 to $18 for three-year-olds
and cows; cows with calves, $22 to S'2o.
The price of stock cattle in different
Western localities are now as follows:
Southern Texas, $20 to $22.50 per head;
in Northern Texas, Indian Territory,
Arizona and New Mexico, $25 to $28,
owing to improvement; Western Kansas,
Colorado, Wyoming and further north,
from $30 to $35 per head, owing to
quality and improvement. Grade bulls
cost from $48 to $60 per head for yearlings,
$60 to $75 for two-year-olds, thoroughbreds
from $100 to $300, owing to
the strains of blood. Madison State
The Principles of the Shakers.
The Shakers number 5,000 in the
United States. One of the cardinal
tenets of the order is celibacy. They believe
with St. Paul, that if a virgin
marries she will do well, but if she remains
single she will do better. As a
rule the men livo in one side of the
house and the women in the other.
The women, cook for the men and do
other tasks fit for their strength, and
the men do the outside work. The
Shakers believe in community of goods
and interests. They hold no property
individually. Their possessions are
held by trustees whp are appointed to
conduct their temporal affairs. The
trustees, or their agents, buy whatever
is needed, dispose ofjthe surplus produce,
and hold all property in trust for the,
common good. The society in general
is dividea into six bishoprics, in each of
which are two male and two female
bishops. Each community or family
has four elders, two of each sex. The
bishops, who hold their positions for
life, choose their own successors that is,
when onedies or for some reason retires,
the vacancy is filled by those remaining.
However, it must be filled acceptably to
the members of the society, and when
the bishop is appointed who does not
give satisfaction, he is removed and another
appointed in his place. The communities
are each given religious instruction
and guidance by four elders, when
the order is full two of each sex. They
hold their positions for life and are appointed
by the elders. Equal prominence
is given to man and woman in
every respect, and equality of the sexes
is ona of the governing principles of the
organization. uor. Philadelphia Times.

! How Money is Made Upon the Farm,
Experiments in growing animals, and
in fattening them for the market, have,
quite often, seemed to show that no
profit was made upon the undertaking;
at any rate, no such profit as would satisfy
a man with a speculative turn oi
mind. The opinion is frequently expressed
that, taking the country over,
but comparatively few farmers make
any money upon their farms over and
above that made through the steadily
growing value of their acres: There
are, of course, many things produced
upon the farm that are not counted and
charged up as a part of the yearly expenses,
and credited to the farm, as
they should be. Poultry and the fgg
product cut quite a figure in the living
expenses, yet there are rarely any account
taken of these only when poultry
forms' quite an item in the business carried
on on the farm. The same is true
of milk and butter, except where the
farm is a dairy farm; in which latter
case articles used from what is rated as
the leading products are deducted.
On some farms, the surplus of poultry
and eggs is quite sufficient to pay for
one or two leading articles in the grocery
line for the entire year, if the
poultry is properly managed. Then if
the farm is not a dairy farm, the surplus
product of the farm cows, properly
utilized, will pay the grocer quite an
added amount towards his yearly bill.
The hens glean their living from sources
that are mainly valueless for any other
purpose, and the keep for a couple of
cows is hardly missed upon a farm of
two or three hundred acres, leaving the
main sources of income intact. In fact,
if the farmer is following the system of
stock growing he should pursue, his
cattle being well graded up, the increase
will pay expense of feeding such cows
as are kept for family use; if he does
not raise cattle somewhat improved, he
is not worthy to have his milk and butter
at any less cost than those who dr
not live on the farm.
The farmer who bought his land saj
240 acres for $300, twenty-five years
ago, and can now sen at oou per acre,
has, after deducting compound interest
upon the sum originally paid, an apparent
profit on the investment of about
$46 per acre. But it is answered to
this, that he has paid taxes, and placed
fences and buildings upon the property,
and it is largely upon these improvements
that the gain from $1.25 to $50
per acre has come. But it must also be
borne in mind, that he has had the use
of the land during the period named,
worth during the first two or three years,
we will say, nothing; after that, from
one to three dollars per acre, according
to state of advancement in tillage, in
seeding down, and in improyemerfs.
If, as is the rule, he has built vsnees,
and erected buildings out of earnings
from the land, having had no means,
from any other source, to make improvements
with, has had his living during
the years, and has now an accumulation
of live stock and other personal
property on hand, without having incurred
the risk which so generally environ
mercantile and manufacturing pursuits,
there is no reason why, having
had the use of fences and buildings up
to the period of incipient decay, he
should not count the increase in price
over first cost as resting entirely in the
land proper. If gain is made out of the
products of the larrn, it is by common
consent conceded that wheat growing
does not, taking the years together, add
to this gain. Especially is this true after
the first two or three years' cropping,
and doubly true after the land has
become, owing to its location, materially
enhanced in value.
During all the years that the average
farmer has kept himself weighted down
with inferior farm stock, on which he
has made no profit, he has, nevertheless,
secured a living. Under the mere
drift of events circumstances beyond
his control under which the man with
out brains and business tact shares to
quite a degree equally with him who
has a large gift of both, his land has
yearly grown in value, so that he finds
a customer for his acres in the thrifty
neighbor who has accumulated a bank
balance, not by waiting for an increase
in the value of the land he has no intention
of selling, but through feeding
his grain and grass, not simply that
they may be consumed on the premises,
that he may say his produce is not being
hauled off, but, on the contrary, to
well-bred animals, that pay a profit.
We would ask, what source of profit
is there upon the farm, leaving out the
special lines, dairying, etc., except in.
following the plan to regularly turn off
paying live stock? Certainly continuous
wheat growing, with other grains
added, to the exclusion of feeding, can
not be practiced upon lands in general, in
fact not upon any land, without heavy
outlay for keeping up fertility. If the
man who goes along slipshod from year
to year, feeding scrub steers until they
are four or five years old, will go into
market with a car-load, on same train
with his neighbor who has a car-load of
two or three-year-olds of high breeding,
he ought to be able, after the
sales are made, to compute the advantages
reached through receiving the
proceeds from two or three years' Keep,
at six cents, over anything he can
figure up on an experience of a four or
five years' keep, upon a three-and-a-half
cent basis. This is one way for a
man to settle the question whether he
has ever really made any money, except
through what is forced upon him
by the gradual rise in the value of land
in his locality. National Live Stock

Four years ago I was worried about Adrian Fenty. I feared that he lacked vision and would cave to parochial concerns. I feared he would be a NIMBY mayor.
I'm glad to say I was wrong. With the streetcar project making strong progress and bike lanes all over the city, I've become a Fenty fan. He hasn't been perfect, but his overall record shows clearly that he supports urbanist goals. I am completely comfortable giving him another term to accomplish even more.
Then there's his opponent, Vince Gray. Greater Greater Washington has put up a spirited defense of Gray, which I'd like very much to believe is accurate. And maybe it is. Maybe Vince Gray has learned his lesson on streetcars, and maybe some of his statements about bike and bus lanes were out of context.
I just don't know. I hope so, but I don't know.
Just like it's hard for me to believe Fenty when he says he'll suddenly become a nicer guy if he's reelected, it's hard for me to believe that Gray will suddenly become an urbanist.
The best I can hope for from Vince Gray is that if he is elected he'll pull an Adrian Fenty and prove my fears misdirected. On the other hand, I already know for a fact that Fenty supports my opinions on urbanist issues.
If Gray wins, and it turns out that he has been honest with his campaign promises and his administration produces a better, more mobile, green, and well-developed city, then four years from now I will endorse Vince Gray for reelection wholeheartedly.
But in the mean time, I know for a fact that Adrian Fenty is with me on most policy issues, and simply can't say with any certainty the same for Vince Gray. Thus, Adrian Fenty will get my vote.

Francesco Guidolin was furious with Udinese after they squandered a lead to lose in Florence. "If we don't play better than this, we'll never get into the Champions League."
The Friulani changed eight of their starting XI from the 1-1 draw with Sporting Braga and had been 1-0 up through Maicosuel, but Stevan Jovetic's late brace handed Fiorentina the 2-1 victory.
"If we don't play better than this, we'll never get past the play-off against Braga to reach the Champions League," the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
"We did good things in the first half, but dropped back far too much after the break. Fiorentina fully deserved the three points.
"This is a young side, many of them born in the 1990s, but we have got to grow up. We must play better football and do it fast, because on Tuesday the match is crucial."
The second leg of the Champions League play-off is at the Stadio Friuli on Tuesday evening.

this is one of my faves of the new sets.
It's the kind of set that is so different from the usual that you either love it or hate it. There's no middle ground. And I absolutely love it, although I don't care for the re-colors. The golden one is just perfect.
I don't even play a priest and this, so far, has been my favorite looking T13 set. I really want to level a priest just to use Avatar/Absolution or this set to 'Mog.
Now that I think about it, priests have had the majority of all my favorite sets.. T2, T3, T5, T6, T8, T11, T13. Sad that I play a class whose sets mostly look ridiculous. (Hunter)
Also, I think the pictures are from highest tier to lowest
LFR = Dull, Normal = Silver, Heroic = Gold
Just my guess

My Priest is my main, and I LOVE this set! It's scary, gives me chills when I look at it. The mask is soulless, hides all emotion and mercy. It delves headlong into the uncanny valley and emerges with a chilling and very un-Priest-like, but very cool, set! reminds me a bit of the Reliquary of Souls with the multiple faces. Simply awesome, I cannot wait to get my hands on this in 4.3.
This is one of the most awesome sets EVER in this game for me. I think it's the first time since I started playing this game in 2007 that I wish I played a priest.
Oh and that I was still subbed I guess =)
I just love the theatrical/phantom of the opera/two-faced Harlequin/chess theme. Awesome with a capital A.
Grats to you guys. I'd trade paladin t13 for yours any day of the week.
Where's Kelesti, I need to complain that priests always get more awesome stuff than paladins!
- Looks like they took him to some bolt hole in the Wounded Coast.
- I wonder if it's near the Injured Cliffs? Or the Limping Hills? Massive-Head-Trauma-Bay? No? Just me? *sigh* Forget I said anything.
I LOVE THIS TIER SET!!! Looks kind of like the leper King Baldwin IV from Kingdom of Heaven.

I love it, though I'm hoping the None heroic set isn't the gold 1. I prefer the middle and right coloured variations. Perhaps the gold 1 will be none set drops with the same model as the tier. I can see its resemblance to the Arisen in ALLODS but tbh I luv them so I'm really pleased. Nice surprise after refreshing mmo champ after reading Sylvanas' story on the official wow site. ^^ I'm thinking this is gonna look so awesome on female undead xD

Don't blink.
Blink and you're dead.
Don't turn your back.
Don't look away.
And don't blink.
Good Luck.
Looks decent, I can live with it. The far left has the best color scheme.
Yay for no more toilet bowls/bird baths.
Let me get my snarks out of the way:
(1) Clearly the name will be the Raiment of the Jabbawockeez
(2) Bishop takes Priest. Checkmate.
(3) "Why yes, I did grow my goatee from my bottom eyelashes."
(4) Must. See. On. Tauren. Model.
Real answer: I like it. I look at it and it says "priest" to me.
I am extremely happy with this tier set. Now... to fix the bonuses.
Looks like plate to me (shoulders+head). Colors - ugly as hell. The faces - looks underworked and stiff. Robe - same ugly pattern they had for years on green items. Spikes and flames - ....why? Noo... Just no. I can't even stand watching it.
Looks like they really tried though.... :S Ok, Michael Kors, come help!
Luckily there will be trans!
I see only guys with priests for mains are complaining. I think it looks awesome.

I've committed another incremental step for syscall messaging. The commit implements the int 0x81 syscall entry point and is capable of taking system call 'messages' (constructed from sys/sysunion.h). At the moment the kernel just runs the system call synchronously, of course. I am now investigating various system calls to figure out which ones can be most easily asynchronized. Below is some sample code (primarily for Peter and those people who are interested in the libcr threaded C library work). I did some preliminary performance tests just to make sure I wasn't blowing it big time. On a duel-P3/1.2GHz (Dell 2550) the direct syscall path was 909ns and the message-based path was 1077ns, which is close enough that I feel satisfied that the messaging interface will ultimately perform at least as well as the direct interface, especially once the syscall path is streamlined. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/msgport.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <sys/sysproto.h> #include <sys/sysunion.h> static __inline int sendsys(void *port, void *msg, int msgsize) { int error; __asm __volatile("int $0x81" : "=a"(error) : "a"(port), "c"(msg), "d"(msgsize) : "memory"); return(error); } int getuid_msg(void) { static union sysunion sysmsg; int error; /* * In real life use a properly pre-initialized message, e.g. stowed in * the thread structure or cached in a linked list somewhere. * bzero(&sysmsg.lmsg, sizeof(sysmsg.lmsg)) */ sysmsg.lmsg.ms_cmd = SYS_getuid; error = sendsys(NULL, &sysmsg, sizeof(sysmsg.getuid)); ... this is where EASYNC would be handled ... return(sysmsg.lmsg.u.ms_result32); }
