"Justice is swift. Vengeance is Faster."
Film Synopsis:
After 10 years in prison, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) has focused on one thing – hunting down the people responsible for brutally murdering his brother. Now a free man with a terrifying purpose, he sets out to find and kill all those on his list. But on his heels are two men who will do anything to stop him – a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) and a hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) who finds his match in this worthy opponent. Now, the hunter is also the hunted.
My Take:
I like Dwayne Johnson and looked forward to his return to the action genre with the release of Faster. Reading the synopsis for this film one would think that it is a straight forward action flick with a revenge theme that calls for plenty of butt kicking. It certainly has its share of blood letting and gunplay however it gets bogged down with subplots and melodrama that not only divert focus but aren't properly fleshed out. The central premise revolves around Johnson's unnamed character that spends ten years in prison after getting pinched as part of a bank robbery team that included his brother. They were setup and robbed after the score by a group of men who murdered his brother and left him/them for dead. Upon his release from prison he has a plan in place to exact revenge of those responsible for killing his brother. In them meantime there are two smaller plots running simultaneously. One involving a hitman that is hired by one of the men being hunted down by Johnson (in the hopes ot killing him before he finds him) and the other around a burned out detective (Thornton) who becomes involved in the investigation of Johnson's murderous rampage.
The action based elements are decent, and the vehicles/guns/stunts are equally fun and exciting however the diluted script places too much emphasis on the relationship/familial drama involving Thornton's character, the snippets of Johnson's painful past (more drama), and the obsessive disorders of the hitman. The good thing is that watered down or not there is enough substance to make this one worth watching. This is primarily due to the darkly charismatic performance by Dwayne Johnson in the lead and a decent turn by Oliver Jackson-Cohen as the sociopathic hitman. I generally like Billy Bob Thornton but felt that he added little to his character or the film. As a Carla Gugino fan I must protest at the skimpy and insignificant role she was given, what a waste. Also be careful not to blink or you'll miss cameos by Tom Berenger, Mike Epps and Jennifer Carpenter. When all is said and done Faster makes for a fairly entertaining popcorn flick that is made better by a sterling presentation on Blu-ray.

Faster comes to Blu-ray Disc from Sony Pictures HE featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 24 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 2.7 Mbps.
This video presentation has a filmic quality that doesn't lend itself to bright, high gloss imagery, and the color palette isn't a diverse which and sticks primarily to de-saturated neutral tones that render a cooler appearance that mates well with the subject matter. Flesh tones fit right in with the visual style of the video and offer little in the way of complexional variation. Contrast is spot on and black levels range from punchy to elevated which washes some scenes out. The film uses lots of low light interior and exterior scenes. Detail in backgrounds and staggered lighting is revealing of varying levels of delineation that can be scene dependent. Resolution is stable with appreciable fine rendering during close ups and less definitive long range visuals that offered two dimensional depth.
The is a rip roaring DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack that features crystal clear dialogue, powerful dynamics and a subtly aggressive and involving surround sound mix. I was impressed with the implementation of both spacial dimension and discrete directional sounds that created a realistic and occasionally immersive listening environment. This worked hand in hand with film's music, and thematic elements to build tension and help drive (pun intended) the story. The growl of the Chevy Chevelle's 8 cylinders and punch of the snub nose, bear killing, revolver carried by Dwayne Johnson hits hard and sounds awesome. Be sure to turn this one up when the action kicks in.
Bonus Features:
- (HD) 11 minute alternate ending with director's introduction
- (HD) 5 deleted scenes with director introduction
- (HD) Criminals and cops: The cast of Faster - 12 minute featurette
- (HD) Weapons and wheels: The guns, cars, and stunts of Faster - 12 minute featurette
- (HD) Animatics for four sequences
- Movie IQ
- BD-Live enabled
Final Thoughts:
Faster is an action based film that unsuccessfully merges genre lines but manages to satisfy nonetheless thanks to well executed stunts and the charisma and tough guy finesse of star Dwayne Johnson. It roars onto Blu-ray from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment featuring finely tuned high definition video and reference quality DTS-HD Master sound. The above average compliment of bonus supplements includes several production featurettes, Movie IQ, a handful of deleted scenes and an 11 minute alternate ending that is worth checking out. This isn't cinematic art but its great mindless entertainment that is easily worth the cost of a rental. Enjoy.

I am watching this tonight as I got a preview copy. Can`t wait.
I am sure you meant "heels" and not heals!!
Great reviews as always Ralph, look forward to picking this one up.

There was a certain scene where it made me go wtf?!? But then it kind of made sense. But the best part is the cars! Definitely a collect movie for me!

Maybe I'm too critical but the acting (if that's what you want to call it), was really, really bad .. I would have thought that at least Cher would have pulled it off .. she's an Oscar winner after all ..
There is plenty of good looking scantily dressed women and Christina Aguilera did a passable job for a first big role .. it was the veteran actors that were really disappointing IMO ..

Nice to see the 'old' Rock back in action.
The Rock has been better in these roles (e.g. The Rundown). Worth a rent but no more.
That said great PQ and great sound! I think Ralph's description of such was apt. The Rock's American Muscle car (Chevelle) just roars with power (makes my Porsche sound a bit anemic!). Great low end! The discrete effects are immense, immersive and a lot of fun! Makes my Porsche sound a bit anemic!
It's back!! Wine of the Week! Clos Martinet Tinto, Priorat DOCa, Spain ~$60. If you've not had a good Priorat, you've not truly tried Spain's smallest, yet most unique terroir.
My Home Theater of the Month- Le Petit Trianon
Won't win any academy awards, of course, but it's a 90-minute revenge flick that will certainly hold your attention.
Once again, King Ralph is dead on with his rating. I'm a big fan of the Rock and this movie was my favorite one of his since The RUndown. This is a no-nonsense, fast paced, muscle car drivin', bullet in the brain shootin', hitman stalkin' BADASS movie. I agree with the person who said the Hitman was the most interesting character. I loved the scene
Won't win any academy awards, of course, but it's a 90-minute revenge flick that will certainly hold your attention.
Glad you enjoyed it Summa!

Not a very good movie, like Aliens, but a nice short story made into a nice movie. Dwayne does these kinds of shows real good.
There is new, and then you are new.
This is a moral of the bears and their cereal.
two thumbs up!
That said, while my guest last night would disagree, I would have preferred to see the original ending recut into the film, along with most of the deleted scenes. Aside from the Chevelle magically reshaping itself after being flipped and the roof flattened, I thought the added poignancy made it feel even more like something Tarantino or Rodriquez would have done, even without Billy Bob getting any decent banter out of the script.

Rigid Seesnake for electrical use?
I would love to have a way to look inside walls before I cut a large hole.
I found the Rigid Seesnake, and thought it might work, but it seems that the tool is designed mainly for plumbing applications.
For electrical work, we would want a right-angle camera so we can shove the snake through a hole and look up or down.
The Seesnake is not cheap. I found it for $225 (with just the 3ft cable), and on Ebay for less, but I don't know what the ending bid will be.
I was thinking that perhaps I could even buy an inexpensive webcam, take it apart, put the camera on the end of a long cable, affix it to my Greenlee Fish Stix along with an LED for illumination, and have myself a very inexpensive inspection camera.
I just want to be able to see if there are obstacles in the wall where I want to install receptacles and lights, and try to find the route old cables take to existing fixtures.
The Seesnake is expensive because it incorporates a viewing screen. I could use my laptop computer, so I don't need the screen.
If a similar device were available as a USB accessory, it would most likely be much less expensive, and even more usable, since you would have the power of a much larger screen, and software that might help to enhance the image.
Any ideas?
I have the Milwaukee version (bought from Home Depot), it works pretty well, I use it maybe once a month. The screen is a little small, approx. 3", but it still works for what I need.
I typically only get it out of the truck when I am having difficulty snaking a wall and would like to see if there is a route around whatever obstacle I'm hitting, like I said not really an every day tool, but can be useful in a pinch.
Your idea of a home made contraption, IMO, wouldn't be as rugged. These inspection cameras take a bit of a beating getting shoved inside walls and a home made device would probably not last too long.
Just my $0.02!
I have one and use it all the time.
A laptop would not be very useful as you need to have the screen right there in front of you as you move the camera wand around.
The Milwaukee or Rigid cameras are a nice idea, and could be very useful, but for a DIY, probably not a justifiable expense, unless the alternative is more expensive. That would be ripping open sections of wall to get around obstacles.
You have to remember, this is not an "electrician's" tool. It can have many uses around the home, shop, garage, bedroom :devil2:.......well, maybe not the bedroom. :innocent:
I've used the sea snake a couple times, my brother in law loves it for inspection. On that note, I just did this last month, had my cut out for new work box, couldn't find the wire coming down from the attic, I used a mirror on telescoping wand, and flashlight, works great, both options don't fare too well in a wall that is insulated.
Here is the milwaukee for 100 bucks. Been wanting to buy it just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Just bought a new paslode framing nailer and bosch flush cut saw so this will have to wait a little while!
Now THIS is a smokin' deal:
That is a good deal but from what I read the AA is just as good for the homeowner that doesn't want to spend the extra 100 bucks. All depends on how much they want to spend.
Sometimes I forget which site I am on. :huh:
Point being, still a good set at a good price. I use the drill daily (might not be the case for a home owner).
Santa bought me See Snake at Habitat for Humanity for $90 :thumbsup: with 3' bonus extension all new in the box courtesy of Home Depot:laughing:. I saw one last year and ponderred it then it was gone. It takes a bit of getting used to but the concept is great.
I often run central vac lines in finshed homes. My initial thinking was I can use to see obstructions in pipe and fish it into blind areas before I drill 2 1/4/" holes from below for central vac pipes and also in walls before I cut oy 2.25x4.25" inlet plate holes.
Then I started to think of home projects, like scoping my furnace ducts,
viewing my frozen vent stacks, down the toilet lines when blocked (cable is water proof but I wrapped it in saran wrap). How about finding a dropped wrench or hidden bolt under the hood of the car? I still resort to the mirror and flashlight but hey, my very generous Mother in Law sends me Christmas cash every year so this was the perfect gift to me.
So put one on the bithday list or fathers day list and see what happens...
I bought one about 2 years ago and it has paid for itself. I takes a little getting used to, as sometimes you are looking upside down.
Where I get the best use is looking at motor data plates on the conveyors I work on. Some of them are mounted on the backside, upside down, but the see snake allows me to get the info I need.

- Is this the answer to London's rental shortage? The secret tenant tests a flat-pack house
Here, he is into his first days at The Camden Collective:
These three weeks in Camden are already the polar opposite of my previous stint as a live-in office guardian in Gospel Oak. Clean, quiet and comfortable, the days of sharing one shower between 16 people now feel like a lifetime ago.
Moving into the collective is like going from a run-down backpacker hostel to a hotel, and I'm only paying £100 a month more than before for the privilege. One of four shared-living buildings run by a company set up by 25-year-old Reza Merchant in 2012 to offer affordable living in central London, it's near faultless.
Situated between Camden and Holloway, the imposing period building is bang on the bustling Camden Road. Fitted with electric gates and 24/7 security, it feels safe and secure.
Small but spotless: The Camden Collective is made up of one room apartments which share some communal facilities and access to a cleaner
By chance, on my arrival I was welcomed by the collective's monthly BBQ for all residents and staff to get to know each other. This gave me an opportunity to suss out some of my new housemates. Unlike my previous disused office block where my fellow guardians were roughly all the same age and at similar points in their careers, the mix of tenants in the collective is far more diverse. From overseas students and young professionals to couples and those in the later stages of their careers, it is very difficult to pinpoint a set type of tenant or career path.
Furthermore, with tenancy agreements flexible, ranging from a couple of weeks to a year, I am never quite sure who has been here for a while or who has just arrived. It is clearly an attractive option for those who are looking for a short-term let, without paying the expense of a serviced apartment or a hotel.
Take Mel for example, based in Northampton but filming a four-month project in east London. The collective provided her with a bolt hole in a central location, at a fraction of the price of a hotel and with none of the hassle.
With 50 rooms in the building, there is a mix of en suite rooms with shared eating facilities, modestly priced between £115-£250 a week, and studios for those with deeper pockets, which range between £260-£350 a week.
My room is incredibly compact, just 140sq ft, including an en suite, wardrobe, desk, and a bed. Although miniature, it works perfectly for my needs and is proof, as far as I am concerned, that if you are young renter working in London, your don't really need a much bigger space.
For just £115 a week, my rent includes all bills, a cleaner once a week, fresh sheets and a concierge service. I can't stress what a pleasure it is to come back home late from work and find my room spotless.
With seven other rooms on my corridor, I have use of a shared kitchen and a small communal area, which isn't often used. I spoke with guys at the collective about this and it became clear this is an area they are keen to work on in their upcoming schemes.
As The Camden Collective was their first building, and with space at a minimum, their ethos was focused on creating a serviced rental model which could be replicated on a much larger scale. With this in mind, their latest scheme, purpose-built in Willesden Junction, will focus on larger communal spaces, with bars, lounges, chill-out rooms, a gym and spa, as well as a secret garden and a disco-style washing room.
So that's the collective. Next on my list are three weeks on a houseboat in Hackney, where I will be saying goodbye to such luxuries as running water, electricity and a bedroom with doors. Wish me luck.

text: up for grabs is a 68 ohc 6 from a 68 tempest, was original numbers matching engine for the car it was pulled from, it ran when pulled, but not very well, it is entirely complete except for 3 rocker guides and most of the exterior hardware, these guides could easily be machined out of some stock with little effort, i have the complete intake/exhaust manifold setup with a one barrel carb attached, the cam is mounted and i do have the complete exterior drive for the fuel pump, oil filter, etc. Now for the bad, you can rotate the engine with your bare hands, and yes that's with the plugs installed, it has zero compression at this point, but it does turn over and you can hear the compressed air escaping past the rings, i priced a rebuild kit through Engine Parts of Indy and found all of it for around 300 bucks and about 2 or 3 days wait, this would make a great parts engine or an easy rebuild for a tempest, le mans, firebird resto project. I saved this piece of history from the crusher, help me keep part of Pontiac alive, it is located on the east side of Indianapolis, about half a mile inside I-465, if you're interested, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and i'll reply with pics and a counteroffer, bring a truck, i'll help load it, i'll accept business checks, or cash in person, if you send a check, i'll send directions when it clears, thanks, irv

Guerrero, 'Solo Boxeo' returns
Golden Boy Promotions, Telefutura, Tecate and the Tropicana announced today the return of the "Solo Boxeo Tecate" series, April 30 at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. Headlining the return will be former world champ Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (25-1-1, 17 KOs), who will make his return at lightweight in a ten-rounder against Roberto Arrieta (34-15-4, 15 KOs). "It's been a long, bumpy road but I'm back," Guerrero said today. It will be Guerrero's first bout since his world championship win over Malcolm Klassen in August of 2009. In early 2010, Guerrero vacated his IBF Junior Lightweight World title in order to care for his wife Casey, who is battling Leukemia. With Casey taking positive steps on the road to recovery, Guerrero will now begin his road back to the top of the boxing mountain. The Guerrero-Arrieta card will take place the night before the Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley showdown.

Your team winning the World Cup is a rare moment to savor as player, a feeling that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately for German midfielder Christoph Kramer, he cannot recollect much of the event. "I can't remember that much from the game," The Guardian reports Kramer as saying. "I don't know anything from the first half. I thought later that I went straight off after the incident. How I got to the changing rooms I do not know. I don't know anything else. The game, in my head, starts only in the second half."
Kramer's inability to remember what happened is due to a collision the German had with Argentine Ezequiel Garay around the 19-minute mark in the World Cup final. Kramer went down after his jaw forcefully met Garay's shoulder as the two vied for the ball. Kramer was treated and was allowed to continue playing. His substitution did not occur until 31 minutes of the match had passed. Then, Kramer unsteadily left the field, replaced by André Schürrle.
The episode, unfortunately, was not the only controversial concussion-related event. During the Uruguay-England match in June, Uruguay's Alvaro Pereira took a knee to his head from England's Raheem Sterling. For a short period, Pereira was knocked out, but after an equally brief treatment on the sidelines, was allowed to return to the game. As a result, the World Players' Union, FIFPro, called on FIFA to investigate the body's concussion protocol.

The ultimate goal of the English Learner Program is to develop English language literacy in each English Learner (EL) as effectively and rapidly as possible so that students experience academic success comparable to native English speakers. The district recognizes that this goal can be accomplished through programs that are standards based, rigorous, and well designed so that students can access the entire curriculum while acquiring English.
Guided by the Master Plan for English Learners and committed to student, teacher and parent success, we support a powerful instructional program for English Learners, Grades K-12. Educational Services provides on-going support to our district's programs designed for students with non-English language backgrounds who arrive in our schools without a full command of the English language. Thus, we coordinate resources and support to our English Learners (ELs) and their families.

By Laura Lennie, News Staff

Taysia Radoslav's feet have been on fire for four years.

This fall, the 17-year-old sprinter, hurdler and Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School Grade 12 student hopes to light up the track at Cornell University.

Radoslav, who has earned almost 40 medals at indoor and outdoor events as well as maintained an honours student average over the past four years, has received a bursary for her athletic and academic achievements to the Ivy League university in Ithaca, N.Y., where she will compete as a member of the women's track and field team as well as study animal sciences.

"I'm really excited to have this opportunity, both athletically and academically," she said. "I'm really looking forward to being a part of the team as well as working with a new coach. I'm excited to see what I can offer to Cornell and what the university can offer to me."

Radoslav began competing as a member of Cardinal Newman's track and field team in Grade 9.

She earned the Junior Athlete of the Year Award and has gone on to garner Most Valuable Player honours the past four years, having scored a bronze medal in the 400-metre sprint and gold in the 300-metre hurdles at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships in 2012.

Radoslav, who has been a member of the Burlington Track and Field Club and now trains with Monte Cristo Track Club, also earned a gold medal in the 300-metre hurdles at the national championships in 2012 and was a silver and bronze medalist for the 400-metre hurdles in the junior and senior categories at the provincial championships in 2013.

In addition, she is a record holder in Ontario for the indoor four-by-200-metre relay in the youth category and is ranked No. 2 in Canada for the 400-metre hurdles in her age division.

Radoslav also is ranked No. 1 in Canada for the 300-metre sprint, having started her indoor season competitions earlier this month. She raced her way to a personal best time of 40.34 to place first on Jan. 18 at the Fred Foot Classic meet at the University of Toronto.

"I've enjoyed a number of highlights over the years, but my favourite moment would probably be winning gold in the 300-metre hurdles at OFSAA in 2012," Radoslav said. "I think that was the first year I began running 300-metre hurdles. I started with a time of 49 (seconds) and ended up running a 43 – I ended up beating six seconds off my time – so I really surprised myself that year."

When Radoslav is not busy training or participating in events she's got her head in the books.

She also works part time at Goodlife Fitness and Pet Vet Eastside Hospital as a vet assistant.

Radoslav said she tries her best to balance everything.

"It's really hard, but a lot of it is focusing and using my time wisely, especially in class and even at home too," she said. "When I go home from school, I eat, get ready for track, go to track and then come home and it's about 8 p.m. I do my homework, go to bed and then wake up and do it all over again, but it's certainly worth all the effort and time."

Radoslav's hard work on and off the track definitely didn't go unnoticed.

She received full scholarship offers from several Ivy League and Division One universities in the United States and also was pursued by a number of universities in Ontario.

Radoslav said Cornell University first approached her in 2012.

"They began talking to me back in Grade 10 when I won OFSAA – their rules are a bit different than the NCAA – so they could start talking to me first," Radoslav said. "I had a recruitment visit, I think it was in the beginning of October, and loved it; I just fell in love with Cornell as soon as I got there. I applied for early acceptance or early decision as soon as I got home because I just knew that's where I wanted to go."

Radoslav's bursary will cover all of her expenses for four years.

"It's an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I'm so grateful for that opportunity and looking to make the best of it," she said. "I really hope to break the freshmen record for possibly the 300-metre sprint and 400-metre hurdles because my times now are really close to their freshmen records there. I'm also really looking forward to studying animal sciences at their College of Agriculture and Life Sciences as my goal is to become a veterinarian."

Radoslav said she's excited to begin the next chapter of her life, but is focused on finishing her career as a member of Cardinal Newman's track and field team on a high note.

"I'm hoping to medal at OFSAA in June," Radoslav said. "I want to win for the 400-metre hurdles. I want to score gold for my school."

Radoslav said looking back at the starting line, she never imagined she'd do as well as she has on the track.

"As soon as I started track, I knew that I was going to stay with it. It was something that I just fell in love with and certainly, I loved racing, I loved practising, but it's something that you have to be completely committed to," she said. "I completely devoted myself to track and ever since then, I've just surprised myself each year with my results and now I'm going to Cornell. You can't beat that."


text: I think GM knows they can't really play in this class anymore with pushrod engines. Which is why I am anxious to see what they do with the real V-series cars. I would be perfectly happy with an LT1 powered ATS-V, but those who are cross shopping the M3 would look at that as an antiquated dinosaur. They would be wrong, but that is still how they will see it. I am guessing at a tuned version of this engine, about 450-470 bhp. The real question is if they will keep on with the LSA in the CTS-V, or if they have something entirely new up their sleeve.

DC vs Raleigh vs Atlanta
I've been in ATL for 13 months now and love it here.
Things I hate about ATL:
1) Traffic. All the time and its everywhere. It's absolutely insane
2)Their road maint. is retarded as they just put a giant metal plate over the hole rather than fixing it
3)No happy hour
4) Lots of homeless / thugs
5) No NHL team :(
I love the cost of living, the fact I live in Midtown and can take the train to work, and it being in SEC country. ATL is the blue dot in a red state, and shares the same attitude as Austin. I really like ATL, sans the traffic(which is my mortal sworn enemy)
Every time I was in DC I was amazed with the traffic level, but if you live and work in the district you can live almost car free. It's also really pricey.
Raleigh I just love, LOADS of high paying work in Technology and Healthcare, not much traffic, they have a NHL team, International Airport, and I love the culture there. I was looking at real estate prices in Wake Forest yesterday and how much home you can get for the money reminds me of Texas.
I've always loved Raleigh, I'm just wondering really how you guys thinks it would stack up against DC or ATL. I like some of the inner-city neighborhoods, but they can get really pricey. And Living out in the burbs is a sentence to traffic death.
NHL is done anyways.
Work Life = Raleigh
And +1 on NHL being done
D.C. for sure, but I'm biased.
I've heard nothing but bad things about DC traffic, ATL its choking the city to death and they can't get anything passed to fix it as all the counties want different things. In ATL you have people commuting all over the place, DC everyone is commuting IN to the city.
DC has a train system, but are there any parts in the city you would want to raise a family in?
This is one thing that I love about Raleigh is that I don't mind driving as there isn't much traffic, they have a NHL team, and the entire place is a great spot to raise a family.
I left DC in 2009 but still spend a great deal of time there. Lots of great places to raise a family in NW some with metro access/- AU Park/Spring Valley, The Palisdes, most of Upper Northwest, Cleveland Park, McLean Gardens, Friendship Heights, upper Connecticut Avenue.
DC is the shiz
Will give some insight in a few hours. I've lived in Raleigh for nearly 6 years now.
I'm a Stars fan and I moved to a city that is now 0-2 to losing their team to Frackin Canada.
I need the NHL to be back so I can catch games when I go home for Thanksgiving and Xmas and Easter =[
Nearest NHL team is Raleigh or DC
Lookin forward to it, something about Raleigh I just love. I like how its the size of a place like Austin so it doesn't have the big city crap like Dallas/ATL/Chicago (traffic/trashy ppl/trash) I love their little downtown core, its very pretty and traffic isn't bad.
Plus I could easily get a job up there making what I am now or more. BUT, DC has no shortage of jobs either, just more pricey and traffic. Besides the cost of living is similar to Dallas/ATL which I'm used to..DC is crazy expensive.
Wake Forest here :hi:
To me, it's a good mix of everything. Even in rush hour traffic (7-9am & 4-7pm) I can go 20 miles in 30 minutes or so on capital blvd. People are much nicer here, less crime than ATL & DC. Don't know the statistics but its a very good guess. This areas growing so fast it's unreal.
I like living I'm Raleigh, the people are nice, traffic isn't awful, and downtown has a decent nightlife. RTP seems to be booming with tech jobs lately.
I'll finish school here in ATL, then I'll most likely end up in Raleigh for all the reasons mentioned in this thread. I've done the "big city" thing living in the city, I want somewhere a little more quiet with less traffic and job security, and a NHL team.
Raleigh fits that bill!

My daughter got a genie installed today. Are there any tricks we should know about?
These are probably all still valid on the Genie:
The 30 second skip one is one of my favorites...
If you got the new smaller remote with it there are no color buttons on it. So when you're in a menu hit the "dash" button to bring up your choices. To change the TV input hold down the "Enter" button for 3 seconds, and to move forward 12 hours when in the "Guide" just hit the "FF" button. There are some other tricks but these are all I can think of right now.
Thanks. Yes she got the smaller remote with no colored buttons.
Glad that helped, I found the manual:

The billionaire Reuben brothers are set to bank £600 million from the refinancing of data specialist giant Global Switch, it emerged today.
David and Simon Reuben's Aldersgate Investments will receive the juicy dividend following a £400 million bond fundraising at the company, which is being backed by investors in Europe and Australia.
The brothers have an estimated combined wealth of £8.3 billion, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. They initially made their fortune in the aluminium trade, but have since developed a vast property empire in this country, including Millbank Tower and Carlton House.
Global Switch was set up in 1998 and has nine data centres across the world. It has been wholly owned by Aldersgate since 2007. It has been widely speculated that Global Switch, valued at some £4.5 billion, could go public next year.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Advice - best for me!
I am thinking of buying a new snowboard and I am considering mainly 4 boards:
- YES Basic camrock 2012, 155cm
- Ride Machete 2012, 155cm
- Rome Artifact rocker 153cm
- Rome Factory rocker 155cm (unfortunately his one I still couldnt find in my area, so I am focusing on the other ones)
I was looking for advice on which of these would be better for my case, or even alternative suggestions, considering that I am looking for:
[ 1 ] Board
[ ] Binding
[ ] regular straps
[ ] fast-entry system (Flow/Cinch/..)
[ ] Boots
[ ] Other
Body height: 172 cm
Weight: 73 Kg
Shoe size: 8.5 US
Riding level:
[ 0.2 ] Beginner
[ 0.8 ] Intermediate
[ ] Advanced
[ ] Expert
(I have done 3 years, around 6 or 7 outings per year on average)
Riding style: (multiple selections allowed)
[ x ] Piste [ 50 ] %
[ x ] Powder [ 25 ] %
[ x ] Park [ 25 ] % (future)
[ ] Rails [ 0 ] %
Special requests: Flexible, easy to lift one foot with the other in the ground, but still some pop. Good to start learning jumps and tricks. Appropriate to go on either side. Doesnt catch on the edges to much when going straight, but still easy to turn and control. Not too buttery in the sense that it doesn't rotate on itself in response to very little impulse. Behaves at least reasonably well in all environments (ice, powder, etc.). Good to progress with for some 4+ years on a 5-8 outings per year basis. More on the light side (although no need to be extra light). Molds easily to bumps in the terrain. Doesnt need to be too fast, I am more worried about being comfortable progressing without too much tension.
Thanks a lot for the advice

Lincoln Gaining Confidence on the Mound
Right-hander Brad Lincoln has been solid out of the 'pen - Image Credit: Pittsburgh Pirates
PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Right-hander Brad Lincoln has looked dramatically different on the bump in 2012 then the version Pittsburgh saw last season. Lincoln made 12 appearances (eight starts) with the Pirates in 2011, where he bounced back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen. Although Lincoln has been used primarily in relief (one spot start), he has been dominant for Pittsburgh so far.
Something changed for the 27-year-old while making a start in Los Angeles in one of his final outings to end the 2011 season. Lincoln was removed from the game after tossing just 1.2 innings, and being charged with six runs on eight hits. That learning experience has had a positive effect on the right...

Executive in Residence
Wittenberg's Business and East Asian Institute Programs welcome International business Leader.
March 31, 2010
Springfield, OH—Mr. Toshikata Amino, former executive vice president of Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc., served as the Business Department's spring 2010 Executive-in-Residence. Mr. Amino spent his time on campus engaging with students over lunch; presenting his keynote lecture to an auditorium full of students, faculty, staff and visitors; and enjoying dinner with a group of students and faculty.
Mr. Amino's keynote lecture, How to Maintain Entrepreneurial Spirit in a Big Company Like Honda, was introduced by Karen Stover, a senior management major with a minor in East Asian Studies. The presentation covered a variety of stories, tips, and lessons learned throughout his 40 years of international business experience. Amino, who began his career with Honda in 1966 as a sales representative, worked his way up through various positions to executive vice president for Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc in 1987. He remained in this position until his retirement in 1995. Amino pursued work in academia after his retirement, serving as Executive-in-Residence at Ohio Wesleyan University and the Ohio State University, as well as Distinguished Fellow at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business. In Japan, Amino serves as a visiting professor and special assistant to the president of Kansai University.
The experiences in academia and accomplishments throughout his career at Honda have made Amino a source of entrepreneurial knowledge. During Amino's keynote presentation, he discussed factors that prevent entrepreneurism and how to avoid these factors. Amino warned the audience to avoid walls within organizations, internal comfort zones, "do nothing" attitudes, and slow-moving decision making processes. He explained that these factors can be avoided by motivating each employee to contribute, providing an environment that encourages employees to speak up, and stimulating an entrepreneurial spirit. Amino discussed the specific entrepreneurial program at Honda called the VIP (Voluntary Improvement Program). This program encouraged product improvements, safety improvements, and offered awards for such improvements. The employees who won the improvement awards were visited by the company's executives and invited to the VIP banquet.
Amino introduced many valuable ideas and lessons to the Wittenberg community and encouraged the students and faculty to oppose current practices and stimulate ideas. He believes ideas are seeds and need to be nurtured and encouraged to grow. Amino's lecture promoted entrepreneurship being possible wherever improvements and ideas are supported. He also encouraged and challenged students to speak up when they have ideas and to always think that one idea can make a difference in a company.
By Julianne Lininger
About the Executive-in-Residence Program: Started in 1977, the program is designed to offer students the opportunity to learn from seasoned executives in a variety of industries and positions. The first executive was the president of Parisian Stores and part of the American Marketing Association's shared executive program. Since then, executives have represented advertising agencies, financial institutions, wholesalers, sales organizations, logistics companies, greeting card companies, and accounting firms, to name just a few. Executives typically spend one or more days on campus, usually sharing lunches and dinners with students, teaching several classes, holding career chats, and delivering a campus-invited keynote. The Business Department generally hosts one executive-in-residence each semester.

The majority to be the minority
Thoughts? Comments?

Minorities are futures majority, Census finds
America's population is expected to be much older and more ethnically diverse by midcentury, according to U.S. Census Bureau population projections released today.
Here are some other highlights:
» In 2039 the U.S. population will pass the 400 million milestone, and there will be 439 million residents in 2050.
» White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2042, with the nation projected to be 54 percent minority in 2050.
» The population 85 and older is projected to more than triple by 2050, to 19 million from 5.4 million.
Minorities, now roughly one-third of the U.S. population, are expected to become the majority in 2042, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released today.
"The white population is older and very much centered around the aging baby boomers who are well past their high fertility years," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. "The future of America is epitomized by the young people today. They are basically the melting pot we are going to see in the future."
In 2030, when all of the baby boomers will be 65 and older, nearly one in five U.S. residents is expected to be 65 and older. This age group is projected to increase to 88.5 million in 2050, more than double the current 38.7 million senior citizen population.
The Asian population is projected to climb to 40.6 million from 15.5 million with its share of the nation's population expected to rise to 9.2 percent from 5.1 percent.
The number of native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders is expected to more than double, to 2.6 million from 1.1 million. The number of people who identify themselves as being of two or more races is projected to more than triple, to 16.2 million from 5.2 million.
According to Census Bureau estimates released last week, Hawaii, like the rest of the nation, is aging.
The number of people 65 years and older increased 1.9 percent annually from 2000 to 2007, faster than the growth of the total population, which increased 0.8 percent a year during the same period.
But the county population estimates also show that the state, where traditional minorities have been in the majority for decades, is showing a decline in the percentage of native Hawaiians and Asians.
The percentage of people who are native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders declined in Hawaii from 23.4 percent of the population in 2000 to 21 percent last year, according to Census estimates.
Asians alone or in combination also decreased to 54.9 percent of the state's population last year from 58.2 percent in 2000.
Whites alone or in combination increased to 42.5 percent of Hawaii's population, up from 40.3 percent in 2000.
Hawaii has the highest percentage of mixed-race population, although census data released in May shows that population is also declining, from 20.1 percent in 2000 to 18.6 percent last year.
Because of the way ethnicity data is collected, people who say they are white and also minority are counted in both categories, which means the numbers will also not add up to 100 percent.
When white people are no longer the majority, who will people blame all of their problems on?

"my family and friends who recieved this card absolutely loved it! the style of the card worked perfectly with the picture of my son eating his box of valentines chocolates. it was a real hit! I love tiny prints paper quality, and that is why i keep coming back for future projects."
"My family keeps raving about how cute this Valentine card turned out. I chose the tan/red combo since it was a little more masculine and complimented the colors in the photo that I used."
"This Valentine's Day card was the perfect card to use for a pregnancy announcement! The quality of the card stock was 10x better than other purchases I've made from other retailers. The colors were also vibrant!"
"This card was so cute! I had to order more because I couldn't stop handing it out to friends and neighbors. The post card form was so convenient for a Valentine (and cheaper postage)."

Our federal representatives wield significant powers above and beyond voting on legislation. Through House and Senate committees, for example, members of Congress may subpoena witnesses and otherwise investigate matters of their own choosing. They can uncover injustice and corruption, craft wise legislation and educate Congress and the nation. However, as Sen. Joe McCarthy taught us just 40 years ago, the power of office can also be used to undermine democracy.
On May 17 and 19, freshman U.S. Rep. Rick Hill (R-MT) co-chaired congressional field hearings with Rep. Helen Chenoweth (R-ID) in Wallace, Idaho, and Kalispell, Mont. The hearings of the House Subcommittee on Forests and Forest Health addressed some of the hottest issues concerning Western national forests: the exploding use of national forest trails by snowmobiles, motorcycles and ATVs, and the maintenance or closure of old logging roads.
Although U.S. Forest Service polls show that 70 percent of Montanans who use our national forests are opposed to increased motorized access, Chenoweth and Hill did not arrange for a single horseman, hunter, hiker, skier or other non-motorized representative to testify in Wallace. Although roads are a major source of stream sedimentation and fragment wildlife habitat, no biologists testified.
Instead, in addition to Forest Service employees who were invited in order to be intimidated, the hearing roster read like a Who's Who of off-road vehicle clubs. At the close of the hearing, members of the general public were allowed to testify for four minutes each--four people stepped forward, including myself and another conservationist. Seven hours of what Chenoweth called an "open and honest debate" contained only eight minutes of testimony from those who disagree with Chenoweth and Hill.
The Kalispell hearing was similarly stacked, until, learning of the hearing a bare week ahead of time, the Montana Wilderness Association's criticism forced Hill to invite a few non-motorized representatives. At the hearing, Chenoweth attempted to discredit two of the three conservationists who testified, by questioning their personal backgrounds rather than their testimony or views.
When Dale Harms of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service testified that increased road density negatively impacts grizzly bears, Rep. Chenoweth derisively told him that a protective mother grizzly would "fight Hell with a squirt gun," and, accordingly, any biologist who thinks roads degrade grizzly habitat "believes in Easter bunnies."
Chenoweth's and Hill's supporters, on the other hand, were welcomed unquestioningly. Mark Pollot, for example, attorney-guru to the so-called private property rights movement, said that Forest Service employees learned from the successful prosecution of Nazis at the Nuremburg trials not to keep self-incriminating evidence of their crimes, and now purge evidence of wrongs against citizens from their files. Chenoweth and Hill thanked Pollot effusively for his time.
Helen Chenoweth makes no secret of her dislike for our constitutionally-chartered government. In 1995, she introduced legislation to subordinate federal law enforcement officers to county sheriffs, a la the Posse Comitatus. She suggested that the Oklahoma City bombing might be the result of the government "pushing people too far." And at a congressional hearing, she advanced an idea that militias have pushed, namely that imaginary "black helicopters" are tools of the tyrannical federal government.
With her own subcommittee, and the support of Rick Hill, Chenoweth is not a harmless fluke--and neither is Hill. Between them, Hill and Chenoweth represent most of the country between the Dakotas and Oregon, and they demonstrated at Wallace and Kalispell that they understand how to use the power of their offices. They also demonstrated that they do not honor the democracy they were elected to uphold.
Even if you agree with Chenoweth and Hill on this issue, think about Chenoweth and Hill's methods, and ask yourself a simple question: If it's the conservationists who are being harassed and censored by our representatives now, who's next?
John Adams is a graduate student at the University of Montana and was a legislative assistant to former U.S. Rep. Tom Barlow (D-KY).

Dane Richards and Andrew Boyens scored for New York, which actually netted all three goals, as River Plate's equalizer came when Ruben Sambueza's cross to the far post was knocked into his own net by Red Bulls' trialist Aklie Edwards.
There were seven yellow cards handed out, including a second yellow that resulted in the dismissal of New York midfielder Juan Pietravallo in the 87th minute when he tackled an opponent from behind.
New York jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the third minute on a centering pass from Khano Smith that Richards re-directed into the net. Gallardo started the play that produced the equalizer in the 33rd minute with a pass to Sambueza, who put in the cross.
New York scored the winning goal in the 73rd minute to up its record on this trip to 2-0-0. Sinisa Ubiparipovic played a corner kick to the back post, where Boyens got his head to it and bounced it off a River defender. Boyens got to the loose ball and banged it high into the net.
Red Bulls coach Juan Carlos Osorio used two completely different lineups in the first and second halves and sat out Angel as part of a plan to rest the Colombian striker as much as possible during preseason. Angel played the first half and scored the second Red Bulls' goal Tuesday as they beat Velez Sarsfield, 2-1, in Buenos Aires to kick off their schedule in Argentina. New York took an early lead in that game, too, getting on the board with an own goal in the third minute. Osorio changed the team completely at halftime against Velez as well.
"I wanted a good performance and good result," said Osorio following the Tuesday match. "But I think the performance in both halves were good. The effort was absolutely outstanding. It was very hot. Our players are not used to that. But in the end, we won, deservedly. I am pleased. Everybody looked quite good today."
The Red Bulls, 3-1-2 in the 2009 preseason, play Argentinos Juniors on Tuesday. They return from Argentina March 8.

Believe me, once you get moving, it wakes you right up. But I totally understand, it was really hard for me to roll out of bed when I first got started.
My solution was posting obnoxious sticky notes on my cell phone and DS right before bed. I use both of them as alarm clocks (which lets you know just how hard it is for me to wake up), so when I stumbled across the room to hit snooze, I'd first have to peel away (and acknowledge) the sticky notes.
They said stuff like "Oda doesn't care if you're tired, and neither do I" and "Attain the One Piece." Cheesy, obnoxious, and just enough to remind me that there is no way in heck I can have a successful One Piece cosplay if I don't make my goal weight.
After a few weeks, I didn't need the notes anymore. I get such a buzz post workout that I look forward to it when I wake up. (Though I do still hit the snooze quite a few times) And when it's time for my second workout of the day, I don't have to drag myself to the treadmill.
So, I guess what it comes down to is visualizing your goal. I looked in the mirror today, and surprise of surprises, I saw that I really do have abs. It'll take a lot of work for me to define them (ie: make the fat go away), but by golly-they're there.
No sacrifice, no victory.

Projecting Illuminated Art & The First Electric Instrument [PechaKucha]
Today's journey through the PechaKucha archives bring uncover presentations that traces the unveiling of the first electronic instrument dating back to 1750.
Cindi Drennan is an Australian multimedia artist/director, who specializes in illuminated audiovisual environments and projection art for public art and events. Her work focuses on projection and audiovisual arts for architecture, public spaces, performance, and theatre. Her multi-disciplinary background encompasses over 25 years experience in filmmaking, illustration, animation, community arts, and interactive media. In her presentation (from PKN Blue Mountains Vol. 2), she discusses how community partnerships between artists, organisations, and businesses take time to develop.
In his presentation (in Czech, from PKN Znojmo Vol. 1), David Lobpreis introduces the Denis d'or ("golden Dionysus"), the first electric musical instrument built in Znojmo, around 1750.
We have two new posters on the Tumblr blog today, one for PKN Lyon Vol. 4 (pictured above), and also the poster for tonight's PKN Ekaterinburg Vol. 5 — you'll remember that on Monday we shared the poster for that city's upcoming Vol. 6.
Here's a video to give you a nice feel of what last Sunday's PKN Heraklion Vol. 3 was like — it's a teaser for a planned longer version. As organizer Olga Koutantou tells us, not only was it a great event, but there were more than 500 in attendance!
Here's what you'll find in the calendar for tonight: PKN Cleveland Vol. 16, PKN Ekaterinburg Vol. 5, PKN Bozeman Vol. 4, and PKN Stockholm Vol. 35. Tomorrow is another busy night, with the following: PKN Ottawa Vol. 6, PKN Burlington Vol. 8, PKN Perth Vol. 10, PKN Bordeaux Vol. 8, and a special edition PK event in Amsterdam at the Stedelijk Museum.
