Here is another article Modern Screen magazine ran just a few months after the article I posted yesterday. This one goes into more (fluffy fluffy fluffy) detail about Clark and Sylvia's "great romance."
For the actor he is, Clark Gable put on a bad performance these past few years. Loneliness stood out on him like a neon sign. The evenings he spent at his Encino ranch home, he'd wander from room to room, pick up a book and drop it, pick up a phone and decide not to call, sink into a chair and stare at nothing.
The nights he went out the newshounds followed him to parties and theaters and nightclubs for hot gossip about this man of the world. They got the gossip. But anyone with half an eye could see that Gable wasn't happy.
Then, at one of the parties, he met Sylvia. He'd known her before, but this was different. He'd never married her before…
Everyone knows the story of their elopement and honeymoon. Only his friends know that Clark has changed, that for the first time in many years he's come out of his shell. They can trace the change back to the beginning of his marriage, to Hawaii…
There were ten thousand people mobbing the dock at Honolulu to greet Clark and his bride. Time was when he would have faced a crowd like this black-browed and scowling. He'd have stalked straight through them, or slammed himself into a stateroom. This time he loved it. They couldn't drape him with enough leis, he couldn't shake enough hands or joke with enough people whom he didn't even know.
No sooner did he hit the Islands than he blossomed out in South Sea shirts that would have made Bing Crosby jealous. He went overboard for every dreamy Island tune. He bought himself a ukulele and crooned off-key to Sylvia. He padded in sandals around Honolulu's streets, and sunned his chest at Waikiki for the Royal Hawaiian hotel guests to see.
Everywhere he went he yelled, "Aloha!" until his voice cracked. He waved from his open flivver so much he got a charley-horse.
New Year's Eve, when all of Honolulu practically blows up with fireworks, Clark and Sylvia sent rockets and Roman candles whooshing into the sky from midnight to dawn. They stood there like a couple of awe-struck kids watching the sky light up. Like the newlyweds they were, with a whole life before them, exciting and new.
Nobody who knows Clark or Sylvia well was really surprised by the Gable who came back from Honolulu, the Gable who dropped ten years by saying, "I do," the Gable with the frequent, boyish grin.
The press back then, I think, was as startled by this sudden and unlikely marriage as the American public. But instead of writing "why in the HELL did he marry HER?" and "no way this lasts!" like they probably wanted to, they had to spin this into a great romance and the answer to all Clark's fans' prayers. By all accounts he seemed very happy on their Hawaiian honeymoon, but once the honeymoon was over, their differences were too great.
His friends knew that a guy like him is no good, rattling around alone and lonely as he'd been since Carole Lombard died. But he needed the sort of woman who would understand him, who would be able to interest him in life again.
The new Mrs. G. is not only social but sociable-plus. She liked people and people like her. She's lived all her life in a world of conviviality, and one Hollywood prediction is practically unanimous: the old recluse Gable is a man of the past. If anyone can warm up his home and bring him back to the life of friends and fun that he really loves, it's Sylvia. Already in the past two months she's had more dinner parties at Encino that Clark himself bothered to stage in the past two years, including a surprise forty-ninth birthday party for Mr. G. himself.
These two paragraphs are funny, saying that his friends knew he needed the sort of woman who would "understand him, who would be able to interest him in life again," then delving into a paragraph about all the dinner parties she's thrown–more than Clark's thrown in two years. Yeah, that sort of thing was what made the marriage NOT work out. In more than one article during the Lombard marriage, you will read Clark and Carole stating how they didn't like to throw big formal dinner parties in their home.
Of course Sylvia has changed things at her new home. Clark expected her to, and he's delighted with the results.
Already there are flowers and plants inside where nobody ever thought of putting them. The few prize pieces Sylvia had at the ocean-front house Doug Fairbanks left her are on their way from England and New York. The guest house—two rooms and a bath—is fully furnished to her taste. Sylvia's bedroom was done over again in the soft greens and yellows she loves. The living room furniture's been shifted around, and recovered. And the unfamiliar scent of lavender drifts out of the wardrobe closets, packed now with the beautiful clothes which were back in New York when Sylvia needed them most—for her trousseau.
Clark was hardly delighted by Sylvia's changes; he had the guest house redone as soon as she moved out. I'd often heard that Sylvia had redone Carole Lombard's old room (which was powder blue) in pink, which was Clark's least favorite color. Here they are saying green and yellow.
The ending of this article is really eye-roll inducing:
And they know that, fate willing, they'll get the wish they made that Hawaiian night in December 1949. With the Pacific surf in the background, and the moon glistening on the sand, Clark and Sylvia sipped champagne on the lanai, and Clark made a toast: "To us," he said, "and to our new life in the days and nights ahead. May they all be as swell as this."
So far they've got their wish, and it looks as if it will keep, for on that night when love walked in and claimed Clark Gable's life, loneliness took one lingering, frightened look and drowned itself off the shores of gay Hawaii.
What a last line!!! Wow. You can read the entire fluffy piece in the Article Archive.

Are you (or your friends or family) throwing away valuable stuff and at the same time increasing greenhouse gas emissions?
This happens every time you put your kitchen leftovers and garden 'waste' into the general rubbish bin. (Did you know that over half of Australia's household garbage is made up of food and garden waste?)
From your home, the contents of your rubbish bin most likely goes to landfill… where it is buried.
So, what's the problem with burying rubbish?
All this buried organic material has 2 undesirable effects:
- The valuable nutrients contained in it become unusable. This seems senseless in a world where our finite nutrients are increasingly scarce, expensive, and limiting our ability to grow food and be healthy.
- The organic material, decays 'anaerobically' (without air) to form methane, which has 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide…further increasing climate change. (Did you know that buried organic matter causes over 3% of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions?)
Surely, then, throwing good plant material away for good is madness. 🙁
There is a better way
Fortunately, though, most of this organic waste can be recycled by composting it. 🙂
By turning food scraps and organic garden waste into compost and using it in your garden or farm, you can:
- Improve the quality of soil and vitality of plants (especially food plants – which are increasingly having to deal with temperature extremes)
- Reduce water use (because soil with lots of organic matter holds water better, reducing the need for water by an average of 30%)
- Store carbon in your soil
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (and help reduce climate change)
- Recycle valuable nutrients and reduce the use of artificial fertilisers
- Save you money
And you can support others who are doing the right thing by buying composted products.
This week, a whole raft of activities, events and publicity will be taking place to let everyone know how important compost is…and to increase its use. That's because it's International Composting Awareness Week? (BTW, I do not get any commission from promoting Composting Awareness Week or associated organisers or sponsors!)
Many farmers recognise the importance of compost for healthy soils.
Thousands of farmers in Australia and elsewhere are already sequestering (storing) carbon in their soils. Some might be paid for doing so (via carbon credit schemes), but most are doing so to gain the numerous other benefits.
Healthy soils are essential to maintain the quality of our food, the purity of our water, and the cleanliness of the air we breathe. Our health and that of our children, and the health of generations to come, depends on the way we manage our soil.
(Healthy Soils Australia)
But I don't have a garden (or a farm)!
If you don't have a garden, ask your local council about how you and other householders can contribute your food scraps to composting.
If there's not already a system in place for collecting and processing household food waste in your area, it may take a while to get one going.
In the meantime, you try recycling your kitchen waste with a worm farm or Bokashi bucket. (What about sharing one with your neighbours…or setting up a community composting facility?)
What will you do to improve recycling of food and vegetation scraps? Just leave your comments in the Reply box below…or send me a voice message by clicking on the tab on the right.
Till next time…be gentle to yourself and our world!

A piece of France in North Dallas
Published August 14, 2010 by f l
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a French lawyer, politician, and famous gastronome, once wrote: "The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star." That was easy for him to say. He was living in France in the early 1800s, when appreciating good food and eating well were part of the French identity. Fresh, local, and regional cooking wasn't a trend; it was a way of life. For many years, fine dining in Dallas was defined by exceptional French restaurants, but today you have to seek out the little enclaves of French food that still exist around town. However, veteran chef Jean-Marie Cadot has sparked a new French food revolution in North Dallas. At his namesake restaurant, you'll find traditional duck terrine, a thick slab of coarsely textured meat studded with pale green pistachios and black truffles, escargot swimming in Pernod-spiked herb butter thickened with cream, and dessert soufflés that rise as high as the toques in the kitchen.Once the dinner plates are cleared, you'll discover profiteroles, apple tarts, and other new and elegant dishes all guaranteed to make you happy!

Integrated high-T/sub c/ SQUID magnetometer
We have fabricated an integrated SQUID magnetometer based on Y/sub 1/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ step-edge Josephson junctions. A tight coupling between the input coil and the SQUID washer has been achieved with a coupling coefficient K of 0.9. Noise measurements on our SQUIDs showed a nearly frequency independent flux noise of 50 /spl mu//spl Phi//sub 0///spl radic/Hz at 77 K. 1/f-noise contributions at lower temperatures were always completely suppressed by bias reversal. From our measurements of the field sensitivity and the flux noise we can estimate a field resolution of the magnetometer of 60 fT//spl radic/Hz down to 1 Hz.textlesstextgreater

PEMBROKE, Mass. (AP) — Police in a Massachusetts town have arrested a masked Donald Trump supporter who they say was waving a plastic knife and a Hillary Clinton sign along a busy road.
WBZ-TV reports that Pembroke police officers arrested Joe Pecevich on Wednesday after getting calls from drivers who were worried about him.
The man was wearing boots, military fatigue pants and a hooded sweatshirt that masked his face. The officers say they repeatedly ordered him to drop the knife, which turned out to be a plastic toy. He was charged with disorderly conduct.
Pecevich says it's sad he almost got shot by police for a parody. He says he supports the Republican presidential candidate and was expressing his opinion that Clinton is soft on terrorism.

My paintings are shipped USPS Priority Mail and come handsomely packaged, ready to enjoy or give as a gift!
As a way of letting you know just how much it means to me when you purchase one of my petite paintings, I wanted to give you something back. I thought and I thought and I thought and then (with no help from Eddie I might add) I got it. It was so easyel (that's your hint) I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner (the best ideas are always so obvious…after you think of them..)
A little something to park your newest art acquisition on so that you can set it out and start enjoying it right away. An easel!!
The easel allows you to tuck your painting into all kinds of neat places–at work on your desk (to provide a daydream break), kitchen counters so you can pretend you're cooking in your home in Italy, in your bedroom so you can escape for just a bit longer to that quiet garden in France…you get the picture (no pun intended). You don't have to frame it unless you want to (and they do look really great framed)–you now have options..:))
So there you have it. Now when you buy your next Dreama original, you get not only the painting, but an easel for it….and a virtual hug from me..:))
Life is good!!
Please Note–Original works always look even more beautiful when viewed in person, but if for any reason you would wish to make a return my policy is as follows:
If painting is returned in its original condition within 30 days of buyer receiving it, I will return money paid minus fees (PayPal ) and shipping.

Forensic Architecture is a science that establishes the relationship between the application of architectural facts and legal responsibilities. This science deals with any service, product, or property that was rendered or provided in connection with the built environment.
The built environment is a highly sophisticated and complex construct that requires the concerted efforts of many individuals and entities. Construction is a complex and dynamic enterprise, and it often takes special knowledge and understanding to address the intricate legal and technical problems that arise with planning, design, and construction.
If a problem arises due to the design, construction, alteration, or operation of buildings, the Forensic Expert Architect has the expertise to investigate the architectural facts of the matter. Investigative tasks such as inspecting building failures, researching codes and ordinances, interpreting contract requirements, evaluating project financial arrangements, analyzing construction logistics and schedules, and reporting on investigation findings are all integral to the Expert Architect's services. A technically educated and experienced Expert Architect can explain the responsibilities of the parties involved and their relationship to applicable codes, practices, and standards.
The services of an Expert Architect can be paramount in determining the outcome of a built environment liability issue. Call or email us today to discuss your case.

Where where you when the East Coast Earthquakeof 2011 hit?
Alex Higginbotham and a few other people from the MasterShield team where at the home of one of our neighbors. They called us in because they thought they had three birds nests under the building-supply gutter guard they had installed by their handyman.
Alex climbed up the ladder on the first section and noted that whoever installed the system left about a three inch section of gutter completely unprotected (the things you just don't know about if you get a gutter guard installed from someone who works out of their truck, but that's for another post). Once he removed the gutter guard, he discovered so much debris had gotten into the gutter trough that the downspout was completely blocked. Birds were getting in and using the gutter as a birdbath.
Alex was on the second section of gutter when the earthquake hit. Two stories off the ground, he knew the ladder was wobbly, but thought it strange when it started swaying while someone was standing on the bottom of it. Yours truly was sitting on the back of a minivan watching the video getting filmed and thought someone was playing games to make the van bounce. A few minutes later, with Alex safely on the ground, one of our phones beeped with word of the earthquake.
It made us think about the installed product we have on both coasts and the implications of going through an earthquake. Our dealers and our customers would be fine.
You see MasterShield is flexible, yet strong a point we love to make. They can move when the gutter moves, which is what millions of feet of them were doing today all along the Eastern Seaboard. When MasterShield moves, it will flex, meaning it won't stress the stainless steel screws used to hold it in place. It's not attached to the roof in any way, so it will move. We love to use the analogy about a reed blowing in the wind (if it was rigid, it would break) and today was a perfect example of that.
So for all MasterShield owners that were a part of today's events, rest assured, your gutter guard will be there, ready to protect you from… Hurricane Irene, perhaps?

Complications of Stress
For many individuals, stress is a term with which they may be all too familiar. Some people experience stress on an occasional basis whereas others may find that their stress is a chronic problem. Too often individuals dismiss stress as being something which will come and go. Unfortunately, there are various complications of stress which can become serious problems if they are not taken care of.
High Blood Pressure
A common complication of stress is high blood pressure. High blood pressure can be serious for some and may future heart problems.
Sleep Disorders
Another type of complication which may result from stress is sleep disorders. When individuals are dealing with stressful situations they may find that their sleep habits are disturbed. Some individuals may find that they are unable to sleep (insomnia) due to the stressful situation while others may find that they sleep large amounts of hours (hypersomnia) in order to avoid the stressful situation.
For those who do not get enough sleep they may find that they are more accident prone and less productive during the day. As for the individual who sleeps many hours throughout the day, they may find that depression is an issue because in some cases oversleeping and depression may be related. The best way to help rid oneself of these sleep disorders is by eliminating or alleviating the stress through either natural or medical remedies.
Individuals who experience stress may also find themselves turning to food or away from food as a coping mechanism. Some people who are stressed out try to reduce their stress by eating whereas others feel that they are so stressed out they couldn't possibly eat a thing. Both of these situations can be detrimental if taken to the extreme. Individuals should be sure to eat healthy meals each and every day regardless of the stress. Eating healthy meals may help to alleviate the stress.

That time of year is upon us. The temperature is rising, the snowbirds have migrated back to the midwest. Summer is quickly approaching and it's getting hot.
We year-rounders (the folks who have just one address and it's in zip code 85390) have a few tips for the folks who might stumble into Wickenburg during hell season. (Can I say that? Well, I'm sure someone will tell me if I can't.) Or for the folks who recently moved to town, after being assured by a Realtor that 105° doesn't feel as hot in Arizona as it does in Wisconsin, and are wondering whether they can buy back their old house.
The first tip is this: when it's too hot outside, stay inside. Most homes have air conditioning and if yours doesn't (please accept my condolences), make a day trip to the supermarket. You won't even have to stay in the frozen food aisle; the whole place will be plenty cool for you. Want something to keep you busy? Find the Caviar (they really do have it) and the paper lace doilies without asking for help. (If you find the doilies, please tell me where they are.) If you find yourself spending a lot of time there, apply for a job. They probably won't need you (with the population cut in half by the snowbirds' annual exodus), but if they do, you'll have a good excuse to be there and a paycheck, too.
If your car is air conditioned (and I pray that it is, for your sake), you may want to drive around and take in the sights from behind its tinted windows. Well, on second thought, with gas prices they way they are these days, driving around probably wouldn't be a good idea unless you're independently wealthy or have stock in MobilExxon or some other oil company. If you were independently wealthy, you'd have at least two addresses and you'd be at the other one right now.
But seriously, here's what I do when it's too hot around Wickenburg and work doesn't keep me in my air conditioned office: I leave town.
Check out the Day Trips articles for some cool destination ideas. My favorites: Harquahala Peak Smithsonian Observatory (at an elevation of 6000 feet), Granite Mountain Park (near cool Prescott), A Prescott Summer Weekend (especially enjoyable when there's an art show in the park), and Tower Mountain Lookout (high in the Bradshaw Mountains).
If you happen to have out-of-town guests who insisted on visiting during the summer (despite your warnings), you'll be glad to take them someplace you may have been a thousand times: The Grand Canyon. I have a place up near there and spend as much time there as I can. I can tell you that it's plenty cool there during the summer months. If you want a special trip to the Canyon, take the long drive to the North Rim. There are fewer tourists and that extra 1200 feet of elevation makes things even cooler.
Flagstaff is also a nice cool destination. Its downtown area has a lot to offer in the way of shopping and restaurants. Even Williams is a lot of fun. With nightly shootouts, Route 66, and the Grand Canyon Railroad, it's a tourist town that offers more than just tee-shirts.
If long distance trips are out of the question, here are two closer-to-home suggestions for keeping cool. Box Canyon is our local "beach," with a year-round flow of water through its narrow slot canyon. A perfect place to take the 4WD, kids, dog, lawn chairs, Smokey Joe, and hamburger patties for an afternoon of splashing in the shade. If you don't mind burning a bit more gas, Lake Pleasant certainly can be pleasant. Even if you don't have a water vehicle (boat, etc.), a couple of pool noodles or a rubber raft can give you just the excuse you need to hop into the cool water.
If you have some other suggestions for keeping cool this summer, don't be shy. Consider becoming a wickenburg-az.com content contributor and writing it up to add to this site.
One thing you don't want to do: take a helicopter ride when it's 100+° out. Heck, even I don't want to do that.

We had a great time at the Brass and Grass concert at the
Creekside Theatre. Fish on Five ( a quintet brass ensemble)
played the first half and A Day Late And A Dollar Short played
the second half.
Three tunes, Closer Walk With Thee, Man of Constant Sorrow
and the most recognized bluegrass tune, Dueling Banjos, was
a "let's all get together and jam" type of thing. Dueling Banjos
was especially fun and a real crowd pleaser. We had Craig Korth
on banjo and his professionalism just blew all of us away.
He is a true virtuoso on the ole' five string and we were very
fortunate to have him play with us.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Jamestown Community College nursing program ranking, and registering for elective lectures. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Whether you are considering an associates degree (CNA, LVN, or LPN), or a bachelor of science in nursing (RN), you will find many doors opening after graduation. Concentrating on Jamestown Community College nursing program ranking, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the RN department for course registration deadlines, and registered nurse program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Jamestown Community College.
To become a Registered Nurse(RN), you will be required to take courses in medical terminology, patient care and life sciences. Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, a bachelor's degree provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. A 4-year BSN program allows students to study specialized areas of nursing, including pediatrics, geriatrics and mental health nursing. An RN has to cope with more responsibility, and must oversee the work of LPNs and CNAs under their supervision. If you wish to continue advancement, a masters degree and several years of experience as a nurse, may qualify you for the Nurse Practitioner (NP) credential. Nursing job openings are projected to grow 16 percent over the coming decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. The average salary for nurses with an Associates degree was $43,700 in 2017, while nurses with a Bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years, at which time you'll need to renew. Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a particular specialty by state law. For example, it isn't necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) to work on a hospital Medical-Surgical (MedSurg) floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. To keep your license current, you must take continuing education courses, and renew your license every few years. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, these courses may be offered on-site. Beyond major requirements within the RN department, you may consider Fort Valley State life science as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Déjà vu. [?]
Anyway, thanks for the ups (again?), AD.
oh did Sasha post this already? I totally missed it. oh well, can't hurt to feature again today.
[It was fine. No big deal. Cheers, Ryan.] : )
I loved this clip, thanks – gives me goose bumps seeing bits of the movie again. Such an achievement. I would be thrilled to see him and the movie win next Sunday.
It's great you posted this. Having just rewatched Life of Pi (how could you not see this movie again when it will never ever be the same on a small screen?), there is no contest for me: Ang deserves Best Director. Such an incredible achievement, and so moving. His love and direction permeates every shot of the film, a project that took four years to complete. In the interview, he describes the gorgeous sunrise scene when Pi first begins writing as a moment in which he hoped to capture what is "divine." That moment always has me completely in awe of Lee's vision. Another part of the film that particularly resonated with me was the shot when Pi descends under the water and is held suspended in front of us as the ghostly ship and his life as he knows it fade away in the distance. And of course, there is Richard Parker, one of the most spectacularly rendered CGI characters ever created. How about his dramatic entrance down the dark zoo corridor, the close-ups of his face, the tiger struggling to get back in the boat as Pi looks down on him, the dream that begins with Pi's face and ends with Richard Parker's??? This glorious use of 3-D is the most accomplished I have ever seen in a film–and where movies like Avatar and Hugo use the medium to create worlds–Life of Pi taps into a different dimension. We feel like we are with Pi on the boat alone in the Pacific, and the many layers of meaning Lee parses would not translate without the added quality of 3-D. The ending, where Pi is layered with Richard Parker before the final shot of the tiger entering the jungle as all color drains from the image, is incredibly powerful.
In a very tight category, I hope the Academy seizes the chance it has without the director of the Best Picture frontrunner nominated to honor the directorial film of the year.
Brava KT! (Or bravo if i have used the incorrect gender salute) Beautifully said.
Thanks–oops if this video was posted earlier. Guess I missed it from several days back. But good nonetheless since today's the final day of Academy voting.
he ending, where Pi is layered with Richard Parker before the final shot of the tiger entering the jungle as all color drains from the image, is incredibly powerful.
good god, I love that too. Not only does the color fade from vivid to dim, the image itself flattens out from 3D to 2D.
True–I forgot that. Is there a subtle Vertigo shot/dolly zoom in that moment?
Is there a subtle Vertigo shot/dolly zoom in that moment?
There seems to be, yep. I've tried to study what's happening at that point visually each time I've seen it, and I'm pretty sure that there's no more or no less foliage at the edge of the screen — but the sand in the foreground might stretch. More noticeably though, for me, it has the effect of an intricate origami pop-up book page collapsing in on itself
I would be the happiest man in San Francisco if "Life of Pi" wins the big award (atleast director). I forced atleast 20 of my friends to watch it in 3D on big screen. Thanks KT for such beautiful comment, I cannot agree more.
Ang Lee is so unbelievable. How is possible to make so many different kind of films and be good in each one? (except Hulk of course). "Crouching Tigger, Hidden Dragon" is my favorite, I consider it one of the bests of all time, but I'm also a huge fan of Sense and Sensibility, Ice Storm, Brokeback Mountain, even Taking Woodstock.
I've been listening to the Sense and Sensibility soundtrack non-stop while working on an assignment in honor of Ang Lee (and composer Patrick Doyle).
I've also been listening to Doyle's other soundtrack, Great Expectations, by another great artist, Alfonso Cuaron.
Two wonderfully different and yet, visionary adaptations.
I'd be so happy if Ang Lee wins Best Director. I think if anyone deserves to be a two-time Best Director winner, it's Lee. One of the greatest (and my personal favorite) living director.
Great comment, KT.
I can't add anything to what's above except that Ang Lee has, more than once in his body of work, reached in and touched my soul. When I rewatch the film or see a clip – the first time we see Richard Parker cautiously amble down that tunnel towards the camera – I well up, just like I did the first time I saw it.
I know that this is a pro Lincoln site and that's ok – it's brilliance is obvious. But no other film moved me more than Pi. It's my favourite, favourite, favourite film of this year and probably the last few years.
I saw Life of Pi on progressively larger screens three times. The first screening was on a rather small screen at Lincoln Center which was an add-on at the last minute when the film premiered there for the NYFF. Ang Lee and Suraj talked before the screening.
The third time was at the Ziegfeld and I have to say that is the way the film should be seen. They have a huge screen but also great sound. And I must say I liked the film even more the third time! Knowing how the film will end was less jolting the third time around.
It's my favourite, favourite, favourite film of this year and probably the last few years.
If you ever listened to our Oscar Podcast you would have heard me say that even if I put Lincoln at #1 in my hope for Best Picture, "Life of Pi is my personal favorite film of the year" and I said "no other film touched me like Life of Pi in the past 4 or 5 years." — filmboymichael, that's pretty much an exact quote, and I said it on more than one podcast.
Anyone who remembers Sasha's interview with Ang Lee and her review of Life of Pi knows that she'll be happy if Lee or Life of Pi win.
I wish I'd ever felt the tide rising for Pi, but it's always struck me as too transcendental for the Academy to choose as BP. I sure hope I'm wrong.
But something about Life of Pi makes it seem to be Too Good For the Oscars. Like Pan's Labyrinth on Ecstasy.
@ryan – I listen to your podcasts and I know how you both feel about Pi – I think that I'm just getting a bit over excited about this coming weekend and Pi's prospects. My comment was by no means a slam, just my exuberance toward the film.
I wish Sasha had resurrected some of that Life of Pi love. David O. Russell is coming on strong as I warned; I believe the Best Director race is between him and Ang Lee in a close race. I hope they get this right.
Anyone who remembers Sasha's interview with Ang Lee and her review of Life of Pi knows that she'll be happy if Lee or Life of Pi win.
That was a gorgeous interview. I would have burst into tears, too.
Here's hoping Pi can win.
"That was a gorgeous interview. I would have burst into tears, too."
really. One of Sasha's crowning moments, I thought.
To me Life of Pi is in a league of its on. I have and probably never wil experience such wonder and awe from a movie. Saw it again today, this time with my grandfather. Today was the first time I ever saw tears in his eyes. Life of Pi has that power to bring out every emotion in me. I am praying that Ang Lee wins on Sunday. Life of Pi is his masterpiece.
I am totally a FANBOY with Life of Pi. Life of Pi should win Best Picture and Director, and it saddens me a little that it won't win either. Best Picture will go to Argo, and Director will go to Steven Spielberg for Lincoln. They always talk about the Best Picture winner should stand out above all the rest, and I think Life of Pi does that.
Ang Lee has elevated the art of cinema greater than any other director working within the studio system. Just fucking try to argue with me on this. Just fucking try.

The Windows world already has a few iPad Airs of its own
With the introduction of the iPad Air, Apple has changed the game once again. "Thinness" is once again the watchword, and every upcoming tablet will be compared against Apple's thinner, lighter tablets to see if they measure up.
The thing is, several recently announced Windows tablets do measure up. Quite well, in fact. They're just not made by Microsoft.
On Tuesday morning, a few hours before Apple unveiled its own offerings in San Francisco, Microsoft began selling its Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro tablets. Yesterday, we summed up those Microsoft's tablets quite simply: excellent hardware, but crippled by a lack of apps. But by Tuesday afternoon, Microsoft's Surface 2 (and especially the Surface Pro 2) looked clunky compared to Apple's new ultra-thin 9.7-incher.
Nokia announced a new Windows tablet as well—but no one is going to remember it either. But there are some new Windows 8.1 devices that will help Microsoft's story in our new post-iPad Air world.
Apple's incredible lightness of being
Before we delve into the new super-thin, lightweight Windows hardware, let's give credit to Apple's marketing team for its mastery in controlling the message. Remember when Steve Jobs pulled out the MacBook Air from a manila envelope? Fast forward to Apple's latest commercial, which hides the new iPad Air behind a pencil. Apparently we all aspire to hide a tablet behind a pencil. Nirvana!
I did appreciate, however, Apple's image of a strapholder clasping an iPad while riding public transportation. Some potential customers just won't get it:
Not every commuter can drive home in his or her own car. And for those who take public transportation, it's not every day that you can land yourself a seat on a train. So while holding a large tablet while seated makes sense, gripping a tablet one-handed while swaying back and forth for an hour or so is another thing altogether. Here, the less weight, the better. In short, the new full-size iPad Air represents a significant advancement that the iPad mini proved out long ago.
Like its name suggests, the iPad Air minimizes weight: The Wi-Fi version measures 9.4 inches long by 6.6 inches wide, and is 0.29 inches (7.5 mm) thin. It also weighs 464 grams, or 1 pound. The updated iPad mini, by contrast, measures 7.87 inches long by 5.3 inches wide, and 0.73 pounds. (Apple's 3G versions of each tablet are slightly heavier.)
By comparison, even the Surface 2 is ungainly: There's just no way that consumers will tolerate holding a 10.8-inch Surface weighing 1.5 pounds, or a Surface Pro 2 weighing 2.0 pounds, with one hand.

Woke up to some sad news today. Swiss artist H.R. Giger has passed away. His design work on the original Alien (1979 - 1997) film series (not to mention his countless contributions to album art) is ageless and everlasting. He was 74.
In addition, Canadian environmentalist and author Farley Mowat died recently at the ripe old age of 92. His seminal book Never Cry Wolf was turned into a beautiful film of the same name in 1983, directed by the great cinematographer Carroll Ballard (The Black Stallion).
In short, we've lost two great luminaries in the world of film. I've been re-reading Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, and I just came across this particular passage. Perhaps it fills me with the same longing as the death of these two great artists. I don't exactly know why, but it seems relevant to quote at this particular time:
The night was hazy. There was no moon. Farmhouse windows burned with a soft buttery light, as if they were under water. We went from farmland to forest and then picked up the river and followed the river into the mountains. I looked at the country we passed through with a lordly eye, allowing myself small stirrings of fondness for what I thought had failed to hold me. I did not know that the word home would forever after be filled with this place.
Thanks for making this home of ours a far more enchanting place, with your truth and your beauty.

I just love V.S. Nelson's Sekhmet's Guardians series. Hot immortal men. Beautiful, courageous women with unique powers. Epic struggle between the Guardians and Set's Legions and now Book Three is out!
Book Blurb:
Tshering Snow never meant to fall hopelessly in love with her savior, the Ancient, known as Lance, but she did. He seems to care deeply for her, spending every available hour with her, but will he be able to give up his past and settle down with one woman? After all, he has the reputation of a playboy.
Lance hates the personification he has created around himself. Afraid the others might not understand why; he has held back the truth from Gabriel and the other Guardians, he has waited for the right woman, the one Sekhmet prophesized so long ago. And now he has found her. When he is accused of fathering a child by both Gabriel and Tshering, how can he make them believe the child is not his, even if the boy is a spitting imagine of him?
After the women are attacked by Set's Legions while relaxing on Jennifer's new yacht, they come to the unanimous decision; they will train and join the Guardian forces. But that's not as easy as it was meant to be. Old fashioned and hard headed, Gabriel is determined he will not having women fighting in their war.
When Tshering, Jennifer and Jessica are taken hostage by Set's Legions all hell breaks loose on the Guardian's compound. Lost without their mates, brother fights brother while they try save their women and put an end to the Legion's terror. Will Sekhmet, the goddess they serve, step in and reveal the truth or will she leave them to find their own solutions to a never ending war as she has in the past?
Eternal Blades Snippet:
Lance stopped just before they made their way to main floor of the estate. With both of his hands on her waist, he turned her around to face him.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
There were still lines of worry on his face. When he first arrived back at the dock he ran to her, leaving someone else to care for his boat while he quickly checked her over for injuries. She assured him she was fine. His hands traveled over her entire body. In fact, she was more than fine. Seeing the love on his face, she would gladly endure it all over again. Her heart was pumping adrenaline faster than it ever had and it wasn't just from the fight or the excitement of what transpired–she was once again reassured he cared deeply for her.
"Lance, I'm okay… really. I'm just worried about Marie. I didn't mean to keep her underwater so long… but I didn't have a choice… I was afraid if I returned to the surface too soon…"
"Honey, you did the right thing. You heard Michael, Marie is going to be fine. He only called the OB to be on the safe side."
"I hope so…"
He tilted his head, placing his lips on hers, bringing her closer and into the comfort of his warm embrace. When they broke apart, she noticed his eyes were clouded with moisture.
He stroked her cheek with his thumb. "God, I thought I lost you… I've never been so scared in my life."
She was amazed… no, shocked. Lance who was always so composed was rattled while she seemed to be holding it together.
"Lance, I'm fine, really… Come on, I think we need to go in the dining room. Gabriel is still waiting to hear what happened."
"It won't hurt my brother to wait a few more minutes… I just need to hold you for a while… Please?"
He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him.
"You're sure your okay?" He asked again.
She nodded her head which was resting on his strong shoulder.
Seconds passed before he pulled back, smiled at her then took hold of her hand. "Come on, let's go join the others."

V has been a story-teller all her life, always creating stories about people discovering the courage to make a difference. This drove her into writing her paranormal series centering on strong relationships and led her to coin the term: Ancient Legends, New Worlds.
She is well known for her "time management and sprint style writing," producing well over five thousand words daily – consecutively.
V is available for speaking engagements, appearances and is more than willing to share her methodology with others in a variety of workshops.

In Jan, 2013, Eternal Lovers, the first book in her eleven book paranormal series, Sekhmet's Guardians launched with a fury. Being a series reader herself, she has held true to her promise by releasing no less than two books in the series per year in addition to her other work.
Teen Blurb states, "V.S. Nelson has truly created a unique storyline by combining Native American and Egyptian Mythology; an unlikely duo! The descriptions and the attention to detail will marvel the reader and make them feel like they are sitting beside the characters, feeling their happiness, sharing their sorrow, and meeting their destiny."

Residential Solar Power Systems is catching the fancy of the world now, especially the Australian people, given that the country is rich in solar energy. By using residential solar systems the electricity cost is cut down considerably almost by 84%. Plus you can make money out of it by sending the additional energy back to the grid. And, nope, the workings of residential solar power systems are not subjected to the presence of sun. In fact, the solar energy can be stored and used when the sun is not around. And, more importantly, it's environment friendly.
Why Residential Solar Power Systems is the latest fad?
It's because conventional energy sources can last only for so long. On the contrary, solar ENERGY is an unending source of energy and, more than anything, it doesn't pollute the environment. So you can plant 88 trees less of you are using solar power. Moreover, there are installation companies as well who will help you install these systems in a jiffy after thorough consideration of the requirements and all. Plus, these companies will undertake all the required formalities for rebates and more. And, in case, you decide to do it your way, then things may not be the same.
As when it come self-installation, a whole lot of dos and don'ts have to be considered and things may go wrong at the nth moment. Better be safe than sorry and get installed by professional residential solar system installers.

We had quite the interesting discussion on the Devcoin thread of the Bitcoin Forum a few weeks ago when the price of Devcoins was really tanking. This particular message made me pause and think about what it means to me to be getting paid in Devcoins for my writing on the Devtome, in particular the fact that I am free to publish content that I have previously written.
Essentially, the claim made is that whatever payment an author might earn on the Devtome is purely icing on the cake, an extra bonus for some writing whose purpose was already accomplished, sometimes years ago. In the previous round I published a few essays I'd written in college that I am especially proud of. In the round before that I published a short story I'd written in high school. All of this writing had already been graded (A+), so one could argue that I'd accomplished the purpose for that writing at the time that I received my grade. I certainly thought it was a done deal when the English classes were over.
But then years later, the opportunity I could have never imagined back when I was in high school and college came up, and not only did I publish my previously graded work on the Devtome, I've gotten paid for some of that work already, and expect to be paid for the rest of it in the coming month. Payments for round 25 are just starting to roll in, and Devcoins are being generated to my wallet with even greater frequency. My writing has been repurposed. Now in addition to that A+ I get paid.
The question now is how do I view getting paid for repurposed content? Do I view that as extra? And if so, could this view have contributed to the falling price of Devcoins–i.e., I'd be willing to sell my Devcoins at any price, even next to nothing?
When I first started writing for the Devtome, I very much held that view. First of all, during the rather long gap between starting to publish and actually getting paid, I had some concerns about the legitimacy of the whole thing. It wasn't that I had any suspicions of it being an outright scam, but I wasn't entirely sure that it worked as advertised (it does!). Naturally, I didn't want to put in a lot of effort into something that might not work out, so it made a lot of sense for me to publish old content. For a minimal amount of effort I could test the process. Most of the content I published in the first round had already been written. I took stuff from other websites I own and made a few revisions and published it.
I did much the same for Round 25, going back to even older content, mainly because I was quite busy with the rest of my life, but I saw the opportunity to do quite well in that round if I could just publish thirty thousand words or so.
Then I started getting paid.
My first thought was that yes indeed, writing for the Devtome works as advertised. My next thought was that I needed to do whatever it took to keep publishing content in the next few rounds so as to keep this going. More writers are joining the Devtome every week. It's going to get harder to earn as much for the same amount of writing if all those writers keep at it. The price of Devcoins could at some point drop so low as to make it not worth the effort to get paid in them. I could completely run out of content ideas. Any number of things could happen, and for the time being I do view this as an opportunity I'm glad I jumped on when I did and one which I don't know how long it will last.
Because I viewed writing for the Devtome (and to some extent still do) as a temporary window of opportunity, I knew from the beginning that I didn't just want to cash out my earnings to pay bills and survive one more day in the rat race. I wanted to invest my earnings into something that would better my life, something that would still be there if the flow of Devcoins from the Devtome to my wallet ever were to end. This meant that I sold off most of my Devcoins for Bitcoins so that I could invest in some BTC-denominated securities I judged to be good investments. However I have also bought quite a few of the available DVC-denominated securities.
When the price dropped below my comfortable threshold I had to rethink the strategy, and I had to ask myself exactly how much is my writing worth to me anyway? Do I just get whatever I can out of it as fast as I can? Or is it worth holding out for better prices, or even hanging onto those Devcoins because of their very high future potential? Am I just trying to exploit a potentially temporary income stream? Or am I going to become an actual believer in the currency?
It is true that old content has already served its purpose and that anything I earn from it is extra and can be treated as such. However, there's going to come a time when I run out of old content. At that point everything I publish on the Devtome will have to be original content–stuff I actually wrote during the current round. As such, it will take me actual work and effort to come up with the ideas, to sit down and type them out, and to consistently come up with fresh content. Ideally, that would be around 2,000 words a day.
I've known from the beginning that I will eventually have to be always publishing new content. When Round 25 ended and Round 26 began I decided to try it out. So far, everything I've published for the current round has been new. I publish it first on this blog and then I republish it on the Devtome. I still have some old content I can repurpose, but I'm trying to "save" it for a true writing emergency, such as a bad case of writer's block or a period when I truly do not have the time. So far, neither have happened.
But I'm definitely working harder to publish the content I'm currently publishing, and so I've noticed my threshold of what price is too low has increased. I've also seen a pump and how during that time a number of sell orders I thought were so ridiculously high it would take months to fulfill them could have been fulfilled all at once had I placed them. Now that I've seen it, I have all kinds of sell orders at "in your dreams" prices and I have no doubt they'll be fulfilled at some point, perhaps overnight or during a time when I'm busy doing other things.
In that sense, you could say that I value my writing more than I used to. However I think a lot of it has to do with having gained some experience on the exchange and seeing what sorts of sudden movements in the exchange rate are possible. Also, interacting with the Forum members who are holding onto their Devcoins and buying more as fast as they can because they believe they will be worth tons more in the future has rubbed off on me. I can't afford to hold onto all my Devcoins in the hope of them growing in value enough to make me a millionaire in the future. However, I see the wisdom of holding onto and investing a significant number of them, while also taking advantage of the investments that become possible from trading them for Bitcoins.
An interesting aspect of all of this is the sheer number of potential exchanges that have to be considered when it comes to making an objective valuation of my Devtome earnings. I'm paid in Devcoins, and I switch most of them to Bitcoins, invest them in Bitcoin securities and other investments, and eventually those investments should pay off enough to then trade a significant number of Bitcoins for Dollars which I can then spend to better my life, starting with paying those pesky bills. There are two exchange rates, all the risks inherent in stocks, especially brand new ones, not to mention all kinds of excitement and uncertainty over the future of cryptocoins in general. The number of potential variables is astounding, and the whole enterprise seems shaky and risky to me.
In the end, it's really not so much about how much I value my writing, as it is which opportunities do I see as being the most beneficial to me at this time in my quest to better my life. There's a lot of risk and factors beyond my control involved, and the best I can do is try to spread out the risk by building as many pipelines (income streams) as possible, both in Devcoin and in Bitcoin, and as much as I can paying attention to what is going on in the cryptoworld. My writing is a tool. Devcoins are a tool. Bitcoins are a tool. Crypto-securities are a tool. Currency exchanges are a tool. I have had to learn how to use a whole bunch of new tools in an unbelievably short amount of time. Hopefully I am learning well.

Sheet Piling
Vinyl Sheet Piling
C-LOC and ShoreGuard are the #1 vinyl sheet piling products for seawall construction because of their durability and low cost. Vinyl is environmentally-friendly as well. It is made from over 90% recycled material and has UV protection. ShoreGuard and C-LOC are currently available in a variety of profiles, from lightweight to heavy commercial.
Composite Sheet Piling
Millions of feet of top-quality composite sheet piling have been installed across the nation. These structures have stood the test of time thanks to quality Ultra Composite/Geoguard sheet piling. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheet piling comes in different profiles, the largest of which is designed to be as strong as steel. FRP outperforms steel when it comes to corrosion resistance.
Polymer Coated Wood Pilings & Lumber
Polymer-encased timbers like TimberGuard offer property owners a way to significantly reduce the effects of the environmental elements on their bulkheads, docks and piers. Polymer-encased timber not only withstands ice in the water, but is also highly resistant to ultraviolet rays and marine borer attack. A tough polymer sleeve fully encases the treated structural wooden core, keeping the treatment in and the predators out.
For more information on sheet piling visit the cmiwaterfront website.

December 28, 2011 by J!-ENT
NEW YORK – December 28, 2011 – The NFC East division title is on the line as the New York Giants (8-7) host the Dallas Cowboys (8-7) in a win-and-in game on Sunday Night Football. The winner will be the No. 4 seed in the NFC and will host a Wild Card round playoff game next week, while the loser's season is over. The last time these two teams met was Week 14 on Sunday Night Football with the Giants rallying from 12 points down in the fourth quarter to defeat the Cowboys, 37-34, in Dallas. The game was seen by 24.5 million people, the second-most watched SNF game this season (see chart below).
Calling Cowboys-Giants will be six-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his 26th season as the voice of the NFL's premier primetime package; 12-time Emmy Award-winner Collinsworth, who won the Emmy for outstanding event analyst in both of his seasons in the Sunday Night Football booth; and sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, in her first season on SNF.
Coverage begins Sunday with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET with 22-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas hosting the program live from inside MetLife Stadium. Costas is joined on site by Michaels and Collinsworth for reaction to the afternoon games.
Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from Studio 8G at NBC's 30 Rockefeller Plaza studios and is joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison, Peter King of Sports Illustrated and Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com. Alex Flanagan will report from Sports Authority Field at Mile High on the Chiefs-Broncos game.
Collinsworth: "There were so many points and so many yards put up in that last one (Week 14 game) that maybe it comes down to the defensive side of the ball on Sunday. Jason Pierre Paul was remarkable in the last game. He really almost won the thing by himself. And DeMarcus Ware is going to have to get after Eli Manning."
Harrison: "It's going to be more of a defensive-minded game. The Cowboys are going to come out and try to slow down the Giants pass rush by running the ball. The Giants will win. They will run the ball with Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw, and in tight games like this, I trust Eli not Romo."
Dungy: "This is a playoff game."

Wireless Internet- A Powerful Tool for the Present Generation
There are many people in this world who are not quite aware about the term wireless internet. There are also many people who are aware about the capabilities of this type of internet but they again do not have any idea about the innovative capacity of this type of technology. However, this concept is very easy to understand and at the same time it is quite simple to bring into everyday use. The only thing that is needed to be known to people is that this type of internet usage provides people with high speed web access and is also of high caliber.
A better term for this type of internet is broadband where it has become very easy to download, upload and do various types of digital tasks without going through a lot of hassle. There are connections needed to carry out the process of broadband in a proper manner and it is also possible for people to increase or decrease the speed of the connections as and when required. With the inclusion of speed and technology, broadband has been able to create a whole new evolutionary world where it has become quite easy to surf the internet without the use of cables and wires.
Wireless Internet- From Home to Office
Wireless Internet is the best and the most innovative of processes taken place in the present day society. This kind of service enables people to use the internet without the incorporation of wires in the laptop or the computer. This process has automatically increased the population on the internet as more and more people have the access of the internet whenever they feel like doing so. With this kind of connectivity, the internet has become a very easy-going thing and even the kids have gained a good experience in surfing the internet. The online users and consumers have increased in number and this has brought great business to the world of online marketing and business. Connection of the internet can be gained from anywhere, an office, school, home, mall or even a public area. Anyone can connect on the web anytime and make use of the time that he or she may be wasting in doing some kind of research or study. The only thing that is needed to be done is to be in the close range of the device that is being used. Nowadays, mobile phones have also become a very good medium of using the wireless internet because of the introduction of a number of software in the mobile phones.
With the introduction of wireless internet on the mobile phones, the word 3G has become quite common among the people nowadays and most importantly among the young generation of today. With major advancements made in this sector of technology, the term 4G has also come into use which is even newer service that is much more faster, better, easier and cheaper in use. However, there are many people who are not at all aware about this term 4G and its use in the daily life of the people.
Wireless Internet and 4G
4G is a term that stands for the fourth generation and is aimed at providing good services for cellular phones and also for the internet users on these phones. The best thing about this service is the speed that it provides in the use of the internet. It enables the users to use the internet making the coverage zone of the computer a wireless access point and making it easy for the people to stream videos, play games or just surf the internet, no matter where they are located. The downloading and uploading of pictures and videos has also become a plaything for people because of the introduction of the term 4G.

In preparation for the new Spa Day game pack, The Sims 4 received a free update on July 9th! New gameplay features, clothing, objects, interface updates, and a number of bug fixes were included.
Half Walls and Door Locks
Half Walls are now available, with five different sizes to choose from. They can be found under the Walls and Empty Rooms category and decorated with trims and wall patterns. Some objects can even be placed on top of them!
A highly requested feature has arrived with the addition of door locking. Keep out unwanted Sims by clicking on a door and choosing the Lock Door For… option. You can restrict access so that only household members, employees, or the active Sim can pass through it. Doors can be unlocked at any time.
New Clothing and Objects
If you've been following the news on the Spa Day game pack coming next week, you may have spotted these full body bath towels. Well they're here and can be found in Create A Sim for all ages! Children also got a new pair of matching slippers.
The update adds eleven new objects to the catalog. Adorn walls with directional arrow and classic male and female sign decals, and illuminate the room with the Subtle Saucer Light. The Smooth Keeper fence won't do anything for your Sims' privacy concerns, but adds a touch of flair to any lot.
New doors are here as well, two of which come with gender restrictions. Placing the King's or Queen's Door will allow only men or women to pass through them, perfect for gender-specific bathrooms.
Interface Updates
The My Library tab has been updated with new sorting options, including Size, Price, Lot Type, Room Type, and the number of Sims. On top of that, 28 pre-created lots were added to the library! The size and funds of the current lot in Live Mode are now visible in the sorting options when placing a new lot from the library or Gallery. While in Manage Worlds, you can now place a lot without automatically jumping into Build Mode.
The Lot Info Panel received a new design, making the lot value and dimensions simpler to find. The residential lot bedroom and bathroom fields' drop downs have been replaced with a text entry field. A new View Venue Type in Gallery button allows you to quickly pull up lots in the My Library tab of the same type as the active lot.
With the View World Info button added to all the game's World Maps, players can add and edit a description of that world. The View Lot Types button located within will show you which lot types are present in a world.
