Can a film be grueling and full of grace at the same time?
"The Impossible" — about one family's journey in the wake of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami — answers that question with a thunderously sad yet affirming "yes."
Directed by Spanish filmmaker Juan Antonio Bayona and written by Sergio G. Sanchez, the movie is based on the harrowing story of the Alvarez Belons, a Spanish family that was vacationing in Thailand when the tsunami hit.
Naomi Watts gives one of her finest, most physically commanding turns as Maria Bennett, who along with husband Henry and boys Lucas, Simon and Thomas head to Thailand for a Christmas vacation.
Ewan McGregor is Henry, a businessman. Maria is a doctor but now stays home with her boys. "You got promoted," says a smiling resort attendant with such sweetness when they arrive at Phuket's Orchid resort.
Tom Holland, a theater performer, is exceptional in his big-screen debut as oldest son Lucas. The actor alternates between a boy's headstrong will and touching vulnerability. In a roiling river of deadly debris, Lucas and Maria manage to find and cling to each other.
There are no weak performances. Oaklee Pendergast and Samuel Joslin are natural as Simon and Thomas. McGregor embraces his moments of ache and shine. A phone call to his father is heart-breaking, not simply because he crumbles but because another survivor just as bereft has loaned him the precious cellphone.
Still, it is Maria and Lucas' bond that becomes the core of "The Impossible." From the moment Lucas turns away from his mother's exposed breast, the movie delves into the uncharted territory of a mother and son trying to take care of each other. She's wise but wounded. He puts on a brave front but is a terrified kid whose ethics would normally have years to gel.
Lucas initially turns heartless when they hear the mewing of a toddler. Maria seizes it as an opportunity to build empathy.
When they arrive at a hospital teeming with the wounded and the shell-shocked in search of loved ones, she insists he do something to help. The service he offers is as beautiful as it is invaluable. Continued...
Rated PG-13, "The Impossible" is often difficult to watch, and just as hard to turn away from. Parents prove utterly vulnerable. Children are endangered or orphaned.
Not only is the tidal wave convincingly loud, fast, furious, the aftermath is dank and desolate. Maria's wounds caused my stomach to somersault a couple of times.
Filmmakers Bayona and Sanchez made 2007's surprisingly compassionate ghost story "The Orphanage." Along with the special-effects teams, they use some of the tricks of the horror genre: An eerily calm ocean seems cruel as it beckons in the days before Dec. 26. Sound designer Oriol Tarrag uses low, basso rumblings from the start to unnerve.
But the first real sign of impending disaster comes when an electric, poolside blender inexplicably stops. A wind whips up. Birds take noisy flight. The palm trees they flee seem to be mowed down. Then the muddy, loud wall of water comes crashing down upon all.
Cinematographer Oscar Fauro makes good use of aerial shots to convey the vastness of the devastation, the isolation of Maria and Lucas as well as their status as survivors in a sea of survivors.
The one qualm "The Impossible" poses is the sense that the story of such sweeping loss shouldn't be told via one family. While the filmmakers are sensitive to the quandary, they never fully dispense with that discomfort. What might director Alejandro González Iñárritu, the impresario of multi-character narrative, have made out of the disaster?
Still. Bayona and Sanchez address the issue in their own gentle ways. After Maria and Lucas are rescued by two villagers, Maria is tended to by a number of women. She whispers "thank you" again and again, to her caretakers, to no one, to everyone.
It's a touching articulation of bottomless gratitude. It also feels like the filmmakers way of acknowledging the real-life victims and heroes. We can't learn all the names. But the movie is infused with their suffering, courage and compassion.

Symbols of good fortune fruit for fertility manifest the positive aspects of descendants' Chi within your living space. In this issue, you will discover how you can use these auspicious fruits to decorate your home and embellish the wonderful energy of descendants' luck. These good fortune fruits may be displayed lavishly, in fruit bowls or as images in paintings or even as carvings. The best part about good fortune fruits is that these are Feng Shui symbols that you can eat.
The pomegranate is a wonderfully auspicious fruit. An average fruit is slightly bigger than a baseball, it comes in various Yang shades ranging from yellows to reds. When opened up, it reveals plenty of sweet, fleshy seeds. This symbolizes the luck of many offspring, which is why the pomegranate fruit is regarded as a symbol of fertility. It is said to create the kind of descendants' luck that gives you many sons, all filial and respectable, with a successful future ahead of them.
The auspicious pomegranate also symbolizes a happy family that is blessed with good and filial children who will each grow up to bring honor and glory to the family. When a mother eats a pomegranate fruit during the New Year, it is said that she can expect to give birth to sons during the course of the year.
Many Chinese parents advise their young newly-wed second generation to display a painting or a carving of a pomegranate in their bedroom to create the luck of having many healthy children.
A Chinese riddle goes like this, "Red cloth wrapped around white cloth, white cloth wrapped around a black globe. What is it?" The answer: the lichee.
The lichee is a deliciously juicy fruit with bright red skin. Similar to a large strawberry in shape and size, the red skin peels away easily to reveal opaque white flesh. A single black seed lies within.
When the lichee is drawn with the longan, it is reputed to signify a marriage union that is blessed with clever descendants. Young married women are encouraged to eat the lichee fruit to create this kind of luck for themselves. Paintings of auspicious fruits should always include the lichee.
Slightly smaller than a lichee, the longan is a rounded fruit with an olive brown shell. Delightfully thirst-quenching, its opaque flesh is sweet and juicy. The longan also has a single black seed. The Chinese (Cantonese) characters for longan can be literally translated to mean dragon's eyes.
When depicted with the lichee, the longan is reputed to signify a successful and fruitful union that is blessed with many bright children. For this reason, young married women are advised to eat the longan fruit to enhance their own fertility luck.
Lotus Seeds (Lin Chee)
Similar in size and appearance to large peanuts, the lotus seed signifies auspicious offspring luck. It is always featured in the dishes of a Chinese wedding dinner, especially in the dessert or sweetmeats.
Lin Chee or the seed of the lotus is an excellent symbol of descendants' luck. Consuming and displaying lotus seeds in the home is said to enhance and speed up the arrival of grandchildren.
Water Chestnuts
Approximately the size of a ping-pong ball, water chestnuts have a thin black skin. The water chestnut is a rounded flattish bulb rather than a fruit. Its sweet white flesh is firm to the touch and crisp to the bite. According to Feng Shui principles, it is auspicious to hang a painting of good fortune fruits in the dining room. So when water chestnuts are displayed together with the lichee, they denote clever children in the family.
Make liberal use of all these good fortune fruits to energize the Chi of good descendants' luck. You will soon discover the potency of the Feng Shui of good fortune fruit for fertility. The most enjoyable part is, of course, eating your tasty Feng Shui symbols. Have fun with your edible Feng Shui for fertility!

Truck Equipment Manufacturer Undergoes Significant Upgrades in Leadership, Processes and Product Portfolio
READING, Pa., March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Reading Group, a leading provider of high quality service truck equipment, continues its focused growth strategy at the 2013 NTEA Work Truck Show. From a strengthened leadership team to an enhanced product portfolio consisting of all 100% American made products, the company's commitment to its new Reading Business System is generating favorable results across all key performance indicators, including top-line growth, safety, and collaboration with external partners.
In December 2011, Brian Nadel joined The Reading Group as CEO with a vision for the company's future as an industry leader. By bolstering talent and personnel, realigning company resources to meet industry demands, and upgrading processes and practices, The Reading Group is experiencing accelerated growth.
Executive New Hires
The Reading Group's successful transformation began with strengthening the company's management team and hiring the right talent to support growth objectives. As previously announced, three senior level personnel were hired late 2012 to push the company forward. Ken Spear, new VP of Engineering, is driving new product development, evaluating the existing product portfolio and implementing vigorous engineering processes. Bob Besse, new VP of Sales & Marketing, is leading the company's go-to-market approach and efforts to expand customer and geographic reach. Susan Mitchell, Director of Human Resources, is cultivating the employee talent level, recruiting, and hiring for new positions. These new additions will contribute significantly to the continued improvement of The Reading Group's now highly productive, cohesive corporate culture.
Streamlined Production
Another facet of The Reading Group's growth strategy includes streamlining its production footprint and enhancing distribution operations to better serve a growing national customer base. By consolidating activities from several smaller sites into its larger regional facilities, the company will be able to service customers from more flexible facilities offering a greater range of capabilities. Reallocating production resources to better meet demand will improve The Reading Group's efficiency and productivity while strengthening customer and partner relationships. The company will continue to further develop these highly flexible sites to build a diverse range of products for both regional and national customers.
Expanded Product Portfolio
The paramount piece and key driver of The Reading Group's growth strategy is the product portfolio. The company is known for making quality, 100% American made products and offering industry-leading benefits of ownership, lead-times and warranties. By strengthening its R&D team with new hires, processes and programs, The Reading Group will not only continue to provide best-in-class products, it will expand the portfolio with product innovations, partnerships and collaborations to bring value-added services to its customer base.
"This year's NTEA Work Truck Show marks a significant date in the company's new business strategy, " said Brian Nadel, CEO of The Reading group. "Many of the structural changes that we've made over the course of the last year are taking hold. Between expanded products, top industry talent, a renewed focus on strengthening customer and partner relationships, as well as streamlining our distribution systems, we arrive at NTEA a stronger company poised to capitalize on new market opportunities."

Hair clay that provides superb holding ability with a natural finish
Hair styling product has become such a critical part of our everyday life. Gel that makes your hair stand up like spikes with an unnatural shine (like the Gotti Boys) is out. Today, a good hair styling product has three requirements: holding ability, natural finish, and ease of removal. I am constantly trying out different hair styling products from gel to wax to putty, but my favorite has always been clay, aka concrete.
Clay is a great alternative for guys because it works perfectly on short to medium hair. It provides the necessary holding ability that is required for the spiked up look, the shaggy look, or just the every day going-to-work look, but most importantly it looks natural. Recently brands such as Axe came out with their own version of clay products, but based on my 10+ years of self-experiment, here are the three best clay products that I have encountered.
Just as a reminder of the horrible effect of overly-gelled hair, I attached a photo of the infamous Gotti Boy

Design Article
Four soft-core processors for embedded systems
Sven-Ake Andersson, Realtime Embedded
The 32-bit MicroBlaze soft processor core from Xilinx is a classic RISC architecture. It was originally developed around the end of 2000 and the beginning of 2001, and it was released later that year. Thereafter, the MicroBlaze has continued to evolve with new functions being added on a regular basis. For example, the most recent release, version 8.20, is equipped with the new AXI bus interface (Click Here to read the whole story).
- Can be used in all Xilinx FPGA families
- Lots of configuration options
- Uses the AXI standard bus
- Can be used only in Xilinx FPGAs
- EDK needs a license
- Source code not available
- Xilinx Linux support is very basic (this may change now that they have bought PetaLogix)
The MicroBlaze soft-core processor is fully integrated in the Xilinx FPGA design environment. It can easily be configured for many different applications from a simple controller to a fully-fledged Linux processor. The Xilinx EDK environment makes it very easy to configure the processor and add all the peripherals needed to build a complete processor system.

Interesting article Sven...would you be interested in expanding it to a book chapter for the embedded system book I am editing? email@example.com
You forgot at least one company
Micro-Semi-Actel SmartFusion ARM single Hard core
Probably the lowest power consumption/bit.
but have not checked specs recently.
Zync is impressive...I want a platform, just because of the raw potential.
The parallella boards are a cheap way to get a zynq board - $99
First off, being a hardware guy let me say that I love FPGAs. I've had a really difficult time though justifying them for any but the absolute highest end special purpose commercial purposes. I think it is valuable to point out that both hard macro and soft core microprocessors still require external DRAM hanging off of the FPGA to implement a practical soft core processor that can say boot Linux. Does this really make it practical to freely synthesize additional cores after the chip level hardware is locked down? The entire for/against argument changes when you consider synthesizing microcontrollers that use the FPGAs integrated block rams.
Secondly, and I think this is the most important point. FPGAs are just expensive. I'd honestly like to see a table constructed showing say these four soft core processors and calculating based on FPGA cost in similar quantities to standalone uP, logic cells consumed and execution performance a cost in dollars per CoreMark or DMIP.
Even the hard macro based FPGAs seem to be quite pricey (take an honest look at Zync, Fusion and whatever Altera is calling their thing now). Also consider that in nearly every case the hard macro peripheral support is totally inferior to a modern uP SOC. Something like CAN or Gig Ethernet, video/graphic accelerators etc. are outrageously expensive to synthesize in these EPP type devices.
For prototyping SOCs I see the picture. As a very specialized PCIe attached coprocessor for your signal processing application or to implement custom high speed logic I see it. But I just don't the value proposition when it comes to replacing the function of a dsp or microprocessor in designs that by their very nature (using FPGAs) are custom already. There it is more of a hobby. Something that us engineers talk our employers into on really shaky arguments because we want to screw around with cool stuff. Show me that I'm wrong. Please!!!
BTW, I didn't mean to imply that SmartFusion was identical in application to Zynq or the Arria SOCs. Obviously the SmartFusion is a microcontroller and doesn't need external RAM, nor is it going to boot "real" Linux (though I don't think that is even a good criteria for this sort of thing). Not to mention that the Actel parts are based on an entirely different market space and value proposition where this hard processor + FPGA fabric thing may actually make some sense.
I agree on all counts, I've seen projects ruined on a cost basis because of "cool" ideas. Engineers should take a biological approach to design, ie. no dead weight to coin a phrase. A lot of these things are great "ideas", but the application has to need them.

By Diane Griffith, Staff Writer, myOptumHealth
Wetting the bed can cause your child stress, shame and embarrassment. It's common in children 6 years old and younger and is not usually a sign of a physical problem. Most often, the child will outgrow it. But if your child is still wetting the bed after the age of 6 or 7, your child's doctor may offer some of the following suggestions.
Treatment options for bedwetting
The doctor may first want to do some testing to rule out any possible underlying physical causes. If the symptoms aren't related to a medical condition, there are various treatments your doctor may suggest, starting with behavior changes. This might include limiting fluids before bedtime and waking your child up at night to urinate.
If this treatment doesn't work, bladder control exercises and bedwetting alarms may be suggested next. Other children may respond better to psychotherapy and medication. You may need to try several options.
Options include:
Pros and cons of bedwetting treatments
DDAVP - Pros:
DDAVP - Cons:
Imipramine - Pros:
Imipramine - Cons:
Things to consider
Make sure to let your child know that bedwetting is very common and not her fault. Do your best to keep her from feeling embarrassed.
Take your child's personality and feelings into consideration. If you feel a treatment won't work with your child or will in any way cause him humiliation, don't use it.
Finding success
Keep in mind that one of these treatments - or a combination of them - will probably help your child. With your patience and support, your child will most likely conquer her bedwetting problem.

Against Technology: From The Luddites To Neo-Luddism
Steven E. Jones
Taylor & Francis 0415978688 / 9780415978682 Paperback New
This book addresses the question of what it might mean today to be a Luddite--that is, to take a stand against technology. Steven Jones here explains the history of the Luddites, British textile works who, from around 1811, proclaimed themselves followers of "Ned Ludd" and smashed machinery they saw as threatening their trade. Against Technology is not a history of the Luddites, but a history of an idea: how the activities of a group of British workers in Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire came to stand for a global anti-technology philosophy, and how an anonymous collective movement came to be identified with an individualistic personal conviction. Angry textile workers in the early nineteenth century became romantic symbols of a desire for a simple life--certainly not the original goal of the actions for which they became famous. Against Technology is, in other words, a book about representations, about the image and the myth of the Luddites and how that myth was transformed over time into modern neo-Luddism.

Okay - this is one of the best books I've real in the last 5 years. Although I disagree with alot of the author's personal tenets (shoplifting minor fraud) I do agree that the world is a landscape/playground and that the corporate octopus has truly enslaved us all and made us soft. This is written in journal style - one can imagine the author scribbling down his thoughts in front of some coffee house. His frank style is absent in current literature and gives authenticity to his prose. Unknown goes to great pains to put out his philosophy while keeping his adventures in chronological order. Best story: his travels to Milwaukee and the metal fest. I can just imagine him sneaking in to a place he would normally never go.

From the people who brought us You Are Being Lied To here is another engrossing and infuriating compilation of muckraking articles expos s and provocative claims. Some of the pieces in the book are very timely: an assertion that the government had advance warning of the September 11 terrorist attacks reports of additional gunmen at Columbine High School and additional detailshis contrarian collection will attract a diverse readership from conspiracy nuts to academ on Senator Bob Kerrey's actions in Vietnam. Most of the articles were written for this volume though some appeared previously in reputable magazines and journals (e.g. the Village Voice Toronto Globe & Mail and Journal of Medical Ethics). Not all the pieces deal with political issues; readers will find a wide range of social (Mad Cow Disease) financial (World Bank and the WTO) and cultural topics. A few familiar names appear among the contributors (Howard Zinn Paul Krassner) but most are investigative reporters not well known to the public.

Expect Resistance: A Crimethink Field Manual
Crimethinc 0970910169 / 9780970910165 Paperback New
Expect Resistance is not one but three books each of which may be read as a complete work unto itself. The first book printed in standard black ink continues the inquiry into modern life and its discontents begun in Days of War Nights of Love . Just as that book included improved versions of texts originally published between 1996 and 1999 this book draws on CrimethInc. material from 2000 to 2004 painstakingly refined and augmented with a great deal of new content. The second book in red ink is a composite account related by three narrators of the adventures and tribulations that inevitably ensue when people pursuing their dreams enter into conflict with the world as it is. Together these comprise a third book an exploration of the complex relationship between ideals and reality. Expect Resistance is a field manual for a field on which all manuals are useless a meditation on individual transformation and collective resistance in disastrous times and a masterpiece that raises the bar for radical publishing. Read and Reading Tremble CrimethInc. Launches New Offensive with the Publication of Expect Resistance They called us bourgeois for urging people to abandon bourgeois culture. They called us anti-worker for refusing complicity in exploitation. They dismissed our advocacy of plagiarism as unoriginal. They mocked us for producing paper bullets Then cried foul play when those projectiles hit their targets. When we subsisted on crusts of bread they insisted it was the upper crusts; When we discovered cornucopias of abundance they preferred their sour grapes. We ve been branded militants and dilettantes black bloc and bête noire primus inter pariahs. We reply as Marie Antoinette might have that they can have their words and eat them too like Samuel Clemens we don t care what our detractors say about us so long as they don t tell the truth. Long ago we embarked on the greatest adventure of our lives: the total rejection of hierarchy submission and tedium of status and status quo. Seceding from an entirely colonized world we cast ourselves as crash-test dummies in a life-or-death mission to smash through the walls of capitalism. Contrary to all expectations we ve survived. To our surprise we are now able to present Expect Resistance a coded account of our adventures hitting those walls and a full report on our findings beyond them. Printed in stunning black and red and bound in the skin of corporate executives Expect Resistance is the perfect coffee table book for anyone who lives out of a backpack. Our writers have spent years experimenting with every possible extremity of existence; our editors have spent months hammering out imperfections and adding sickles to the periods to turn them into question marks; our designers as everyone knows are the best in the business not to mention the best against it. A thousand sleeper cells across the planet prepare to swing into action as this announcement is typed. Concerned citizens may object that some of the raw materials from which this book has been assembled have yet to enter the public domain; we ask them to think of Expect Resistance as a book ahead of its time. Still in love with all of you and the amazing things we have yet to do your faithful ex-workers

How It All Began
Bommi Baumann
Arsenal Pulp Press 0889780455 / 9780889780453 Paperback New
How It All Began is the personal testimony of Michael Bommi Baumann a man who in the late 1960s and early '70s was a member of the June 2nd Movement one of the most spectacular urban guerrilla organizations in West Berlin. Of this book Baumann said: Others should understand why people take the road of armed struggle how they come to it how the seeds are planted and what the emotions behind it are what kind of considerations and psychic preconditions are needed to overcome the fear involved. But Baumann ultimately had to make a choice. He renounced violence when he left the June 2nd Movement in 1972. Security police seized the original German edition Wie Alles Anfing when it appeared in 1975. The resulting trial and publicity raised an international outcry and the book ended up being republished in German and translated into six languages. In an age when public protests-against corporate greed against free trade agreements and for social justice-are becoming more frequent and more violent How It All Began provides a fascinating glimpse into the thinking behind urban struggle and the consequences of action. As Baumann himself said Violence is a perfectly adequate means I never had any hangups about it. The first English version of How It All Began was published by Arsenal in 1977 and updated in 1981. Long out of print it has been re-issued making it available to readers once again. Bommi Baumann was a leading member of the June 2nd Movement one of the most active urban guerrilla groups in West Berlin. From a low-income unstable family background Baumann left the movement and the urban guerrilla struggle in 1972 and went underground towrite this book. He was arrested in London in 1981 and there has been no word from him since.

Live music, dying morals
My name is Scotland and I'm an alcoholic.
If you care about the biggest social problem that blights this country you should be troubled by the changing face of our live music industry.
This weeks sees the launch of THE MILL – described by Miller Genuine Draft as "an exciting new platform for emerging music talent in Glasgow and Edinburgh". It should sound familiar. It's the same business model that has already been adopted by Jack Daniel's under their JD Set banner, not to mention the likes of Beck's Fusions, Tuborg Music, Smirnoff Electric Cabaret and the Red Stripe Music Awards.
It doesn't end there. Carling's brand name is permanently glued to the Academy venue in Glasgow; Tennent's, of course, have long sponsored music events in Scotland with the likes of T in the Park, T-Break and now Tennent's Mutual, the self-proclaimed gigging revolution that allows fans to vote on artists, locations, venues and ticket prices… though unfortunately not on how much punters should be paid to drink their foul cooking lager.
Let's get this straight. Alcohol companies aren't stumbling over themselves to sponsor live music because they care about breaking new acts or supporting creative talent. Guitar bands are cool as fuck and the people who watch them are the choicest cuts for the drinks industry, i.e. young adults spending the night in a licensed premises with money to burn. If a similar demographic turned up in similar numbers to play chess you can guarantee Guinness would be trying to endorse the pieces.
So what's the big deal? Why is The Pop Cop complaining about wads of cash getting pumped into the music scene in return for a bit of product placement. It seems like a no-lose situation but here are a few facts about Scotland:
- 30 deaths a year on our roads are as a result of accidents involving drivers who are over the limit
- 62% of domestic abuse cases involve alcohol
- 50% of people who commit suicide have a history of alcohol abuse
- 45% of prisoners admit they were drunk at the time of their offence
- Alcohol-related deaths have more than doubled in the past decade
- 70% of assault victims who end up in A&E do so as a result of an alcohol-related incident
- When someone gets murdered, not only will two-thirds of the suspected killers be drunk but so will half of their victims
- 40% of 15-year-olds drink alcohol at least once a week
Scotland has a problem. Perhaps not me, or you, or even anyone you know personally, but alcohol abuse stains this nation and, as far as we can see, nobody is taking it seriously enough.
Two years ago NME reported on a study that called for a total ban on alcohol advertising at music events as part of a major crackdown on binge drinking among young people. The response from InBev, who own Tennent's, was telling. They warned that many cultural events in the UK would not happen if drinks companies didn't provide funding. A similar message was delivered by the Department of Media, Culture and Sport. A spokeswoman said: "Many music events rely on sponsorship from these companies for events like T in the Park. Where would they be without it?"
In other words, the Government doesn't care about the long-term effects the promotion of alcohol through music is having on our population – just so long as 80,000 people can be shoehorned into an abandoned airfield in Balado for one weekend every summer. Cheers.
