Sylvain Émard Danse
Since its foundation, Sylvain Émard Danse has continually evolved. During its first years, artistic director and choreographer Sylvain Émard's created Ozone, Ozone, L'Imposture des Sens (1989), De l'Éden au Septentrion (1990) and Retour d'Exil (1991), all characterized by a strong theatrical aesthetic, which constituted a meeting of forms: silent theatre and the language of choreography. During this period, Émard was able to gradually lay the foundations of a dance that would become less tragic and more formal. In 1990, Sylvain Émard received the Jacqueline Lemieux Award of the Canada Council for the Arts.
The Quintet Terrains Vagues (1993) marked the beginning of a second cycle, where Émard's dance became more formal. The set design composed of three tons of earth created a perfect fit between dance and its scenic environment. Warmly received at home and aborad, this production initiated a much wider dissemination of Sylvain Émard's repertoire.
In 1994, Sylvain Émard felt the need to return to the solo structure, choreographing and performing Des Siècles Avec Vous. He was inspired by portraits and self-portraits in paintings by Rembrandt and Francis Bacon. Émard made a definitive break from the theatrical references and created a dance based essentially on kinaesthesia. The show was publicly and critically acclaimed, and Sylvain Émard was nominated Dance Personality of the Year by the Montreal cultural weekly VOIR.
With Rumeurs (1996), a male quintet co-produced with the Canada Dance Festival, Sylvain Émard explored nature of the human soul under the theme of memory. Rumeurs was a great success: attendance was exceptionally high and critics were more than generous. Sylvain Émard Danse was awarded the Grand Prix du Conseil des Arts de la Communauté Urbaine de Montréal in 1996. The same year, he received the prestigious Jean A. Chalmers Award for the body of his work. This acknowledgement constitutes the highest distinction for dance in Canada, and represented a great achievement for the artist.
With the creation of Mensonge Variations (1998), a work for six dancers, Sylvain Émard wished to explore the formal nature of movement with a view to revealing meaning that had heretofore been hidden. This process resulted in a creation defying all logical description, imbued with a dreamlike quality. This piece clearly represents Émard's most formal and abstract approach to choreography to date. After a highly regarded world premiere in Montreal, the company began a Quebec tour and was invited to perform for the first time in Paris as part of Printemps du Québec en France.
In 2000, Sylvain Émard felt the need to return to the stage. This led to Te souvient-il?, a pas de deux co-created by Sylvain Émard and his long-time collaborator, choreographer Louise Bédard. The resulting work drew on experiments in set design by the artist Pierre Bruneau. This collaboration marked the beginning of a new creative cycle for Sylvain Emard, one in which the work of visual artists plays a central role in choreographic development. Acclaimed as a unique piece, reflecting the artistic maturity of both choreographers/dancers, Te souvient-il? was performed more than 50 times across Quebec, English-speaking Canada, Mexico and France.
Scènes d'intérieur, which premiered in October 2001, was the company's first international co-production, resulting from a collaboration between Sylvain Émard Danse, Montreal's Agora de la danse and Centre Culturel Aragon in France. The creative process was based on a documentary approach that drew inspiration from the dancers' life experiences. Video technology is an important scenic element in Scènes d'intérieur. The result is choreography in which relationships with others take centre stage. With Scènes d'intérieur, the company reached audiences across the province of Québec, where the work was enthusiastically received in nine cities. Critics praised it as a "master work," and this success crossed many borders.
In March 2004, Pluie launched the Climatology of bodies trilogy, followed by Temps de chien (2005) and Wave (2008). The underlying theme is climate as a metaphor for the impact of external elements on our lives. These three climatic works, respectively premiered at Usine C in Montreal and toured extensively on both sides of the Atlantic.
In May 2009, Sylvain Émard Danse unveiled Le Grand Continental – a hybrid piece combining line dancing and contemporary dance – during the Festival TransAmériques (FTA). Co-produced by the FTA, this unique show includes some sixty amateur dancers of varying ages in addition to four professionals, all of them performing outdoors on Émery Street in Montréal. Back by popular demand, this contagious spectacle was reprised in an even more ambitious version at the last Festival TransAmériques, in June 2010. Renamed Le Très Grand Continental, the show this time around over 125 amateur dancers.
In parallel, Sylvain Émard premiered his new piece Fragments - Volume I inspired by the notion of urgency at the Canada Dance Festival, in June 2010. The Volume I of this diptych features an exceptional cast: the reputed actress Monique Miller, the virtuoso dancers Manuel Roque, Laurence Ramsey and Catherine Viau. The second chapter of the project, Fragments - Volume II, is expected to premiere in 2012.

(Independent measurements show such fears to be unfounded.) The Met is sending a powerful message of sympathy in undertaking the tour, and I imagine that Japanese listeners will reward them loudly.

Apple may be famous for its premium smartphones, tablets and computers, but the Silicon Valley-based design company may expand its horizons come 2013. Whispers from China have indicated that Apple could be developing its very own smart watch, according to Chinese gadget news source Tech.163.
This device would connect to all of your iOS devices via Bluetooth, and Intel is rumored to be working with Apple on this wearable tech project. Little is known about the purported device's specs or features, but the report did say that it could come with a 1.5-inch AMOLED display manufactured by RiTDisplay with ITO-coated glass.
Apple appears to be aspiring to attack a budding sector of the mobile market. Wristwatch devices are beginning to gain popularity among users, with products such as Sony's SmartWatch and the Pebble Kickstarter project that blew up on the crowd sourced Web platform earlier this year. The Pebble smart watch, which hit more than $10 million on Kickstarter, connects to your Android or iPhone device. Users can customize the watch's interface and download apps directly to the device. Sony's offering is an Android watch that "keeps you discreetly updated & your hands free." It comes in various colors such as blue, pink, teal and lets you check messages, calendars, and Facebook updates.
Apple isn't the only company reportedly dipping into the wearable technology market. In September, Microsoft patented what looks to be a wearable video game controller for its Xbox gaming console. Samsung has also been working on bendable, unbreakable displays for quite some time that could pave the way for wearable devices.
This also isn't the first time tech enthusiasts have mused at the proposition of a hypothetical iWatch, and Thursday's findings have further fueled these suspicions. However, it's important to take this news with a grain of salt. Apple, of course, has not confirmed any plans to enter the smart watch race. Even if it did, there's no guarantee that we would see it any time soon. Apple geeks shouldn't count on playing with wearable iOS watches at CES next month, but it certainly is interesting to think about.
If this rumor does turn out to be true, it wouldn't be the most revolutionary move for Apple but it could do more to popularize the smart watch genre. Tablets existed before Apple introduced the iPad, but no one really wanted them until Apple came out with its own. Even when the first generation iPad was released in 2010, critics and tech aficionados scoffed at the device that was initially perceived as an oversized iPhone.
According to Tech.163's source, Apple plans to launch this rumored smart watch sometime next year.

Recall 13V118000
The Airbag System May Not Operate as Expected
Recall Details
The supplemental restraint system, commonly called the "airbag", consists of several "bags" that are very quickly inflated to help protect the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash. An on board computer uses information from various sensors to determine if and when the airbags should deploy. The affected vehicles may have a poor electrical connection in the front seat which could affect deployment of the side airbags and/or cause the airbag warning light to illuminate. Dealers will replace the airbag withing harness in both the driver and passenger front seats to correct this concern.
Our Quick Take
Certain 2011-2012 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger & Charger models are being recalled because the airbag system my not deploy as expected in the event of a crash.
What Should You Do?
Chrysler will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles during April 2013. If your airbag warning light is on, or you don't receive notification and you believe you should have, please contact your local dealer. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call. The Chrysler recall number is N07.

A Hodgenville police officer killed in September during a vehicle pursuit will be honored Tuesday during a ceremony for fallen officers at the Department of Criminal Justice Training in Richmond.
Mark A. Taulbee, 43, was killed Sept. 16 while pursuing Jason Avis, 30, of Vine Grove on Ky. 210. According to Kentucky State Police, Avis was a suspect in a domestic disturbance.
During the chase, Taulbee lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons. His cruiser spun clockwise and struck an embankment on the driver's side before going airborne, police said.
Police said Taulbee was ejected from the vehicle. He was wearing a seatbelt.
In November, a LaRue County grand jury indicted Avis with wanton murder, first-degree fleeing or evading police, first-degree wanton endangerment, leaving the scene of an accident and first-degree persistent felony offense. His jury trial is set for Oct. 22.
According to a news release, Taulbee is one of two officers killed in 2012 who will be honored during Tuesday's hour-long ceremony. The other is Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Anthony Rakes, who was shot during a traffic stop Nov. 14.
Abbie Darst, DOCJT program coordinator, said a recruit will stand, salute and present a flag to one of Taulbee's family members.
Gov. Steve Beshear and Brandy Durman, wife of a Lexington police officer killed in 2010, will speak, Darst said.
In addition, she said Taulbee and Rakes' names will be added to the Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial along with six more officers: U.S. Marshal Releigh Killion killed in 1884, Officer Thomas D. Martin of Stanford Police Department killed in 1931, Deputy Thee Madden of Knott County Sheriff's Office killed in 1933, State Trooper Vernon Snellen killed in 1937, and Deputies Bill Baker and George Puckett of Perry County Sheriff's Office killed in 1950.
Including this year's additions, the monument bears engraved names of 509 Kentucky officers killed in duty and dates back to the mid-1800s.
The ceremony in front of the Kentucky Law Enforcement Memorial has been held for 14 years, Darst said. During that time, there has been only one year during which no officers were killed in the line of duty, she said.

* Menendez calls alleged scandal "politically motivated"
* Mystery source of claims fueled skepticism - watchdog
(Adds details on Menendez career and family)
By David Adams
MIAMI, Jan 30 (Reuters) - New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, a
Democrat and incoming chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, denied on Wednesday allegations that he
engaged in sex with prostitutes during free trips to the
Dominican Republic provided by a political donor.
The denial from Menendez, 59, who was re-elected to a second
term last year, came as FBI agents searched the offices of a
prominent South Florida eye doctor who is the donor linked to
his alleged unpaid trips.
The FBI did not explain the motive for the raid on the
offices of Dr. Salomon Melgen, 58, saying only that it was
"conducting law enforcement activity" in the vicinity of the
medical-office complex where Melgen's West Palm Beach eye clinic
is located.
The sprawling light-blue office building, usually buzzing
with customers from Melgen's booming practice, was cordoned off
on Wednesday as news crews stood watch outside. Investigators
had been inside the building through the night, and at about
2:30 p.m. agents loaded dozens of cardboard boxes into a white
government van.
The Dominican-born Melgen did not immediately return a phone
call from Reuters seeking comment.
Melgen's name has been linked in recent months to
unsubstantiated reports, first published on the conservative
Daily Caller website, that he provided Menendez with free trips
aboard his private plane to the Dominican Republic where
Menendez allegedly engaged in sex with underage prostitutes.
"Dr. Melgen has been a friend and political supporter of
Senator Menendez for many years," Menendez's press office said
in a emailed statement.
"Senator Menendez has traveled on Dr. Melgen's plane on
three occasions, all of which have been paid for and reported
appropriately. Any allegations of engaging with prostitutes are
manufactured by a politically-motivated right-wing blog and are
Menendez, a Cuban American, is divorced and has two
children. He served in the House of Representatives from 1993
until he became a senator in 2006.
Melgen and his family are longtime contributors to numerous
political campaigns, including Menendez's, totaling $393,000
since 1998.
He has an outstanding lien of $11.1 million from the
Internal Revenue Service for taxes owed between 2006 and 2009,
according to records obtained from the Palm Beach County
recorder's office.
Melgen fell victim to a Ponzi scheme in 2004 in which he
lost $15 million, according to court documents.
In a letter to the Department of Justice in July last year,
Washington-based political watchdog group Citizens for
Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) requested that
the FBI investigate "whether Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
engaged in sex tourism by engaging in illicit sexual acts with
underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic."
The letter, which was provided to Reuters by CREW, also
asked the FBI to investigate if Menendez "solicited the services
of a prostitute in Florida" and whether he violated the Mann Act
banning the interstate trafficking of women for prostitution.
CREW's director said the watchdog group began looking into
the Melgen-Menendez connection after receiving email messages
last year from a man calling himself Peter Williams, who claimed
to have information that Menendez had been traveling to the
Dominican Republic with Melgen, using Melgen's private jet and
staying at Melgen's Dominican homes in La Romana and the
capital, Santo Domingo.
CREW's director Melanie Sloan said Williams refused to meet
with or speak to CREW and she grew increasingly "skeptical"
about the source, fearing that it might be a smear campaign by
political enemies of Menendez.
"We don't know who Williams is, or even if that's his real
name. So we decided to forward all the emails to the FBI."

In honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, Pepperdine University Libraries is pleased to make available this rare audio recording of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking in Los Angeles on the moral imperative of civil rights in 1964. Recently digitized, the complete recording is now available for online listening in our Historic Sound Recordings digital collection.
Dr. King delivered this forty-minute speech as the keynote speaker of "Religious Witness for Human Dignity," a multi-faith event held at the Los Angeles Coliseum on May 31, 1964. Dr. King's speech passionately and persuasively takes on the issues of race relations and human dignity, touching on topics of segregation, poverty, civil rights, and non-violent resistance. He evokes the memory of the late John F. Kennedy while urging for the quick passage of the Civil Rights Act, and his speech is immediately followed by a mass performance of the civil rights anthem "We Shall Overcome."
Dr. King is briefly introduced by the Rev. Marvin T. Robinson, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena, California, and President of the Western Christian Leadership Conference. The event, attended by approximately 15,000 people, was cosponsored by Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish organizations.
This recording captures Dr. King at a critical moment in American history and his own evolution as a public figure. This speech comes nine months after his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, and about four months before he received the Nobel Peace Prize. The Civil Rights Act, stalled in the Senate by a filibuster, would be signed into law a month later on July 2.
The Special Collections and University Archives department of Pepperdine University Libraries came into possession of the nondescript reel of tape containing this historic speech by way of Fred Casmir, a former Communications professor. Dr. Casmir had apparently acquired the recording for use in his classes, and it arrived to us in a large box, hidden among more mundane audiovisual materials. It is our great honor to share this recording with the world and contribute another small piece to the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Jennifer Roberts for mayor? Sure, say some voters.
The former Mecklenburg commissioners chair and congressional candidate received 18 write-in votes in the recent election for Charlotte mayor, according to a report on the Nov. 5 election. That's the highest for any write-in candidate. (ICYMI: Democrat Patrick Cannon is the new mayor-elect.)
|Jennifer Roberts
Others receiving a nod for mayor were interim Charlotte Mayor Patsy Kinsey, with 5 votes. City Councilman James Mitchell, a Democrat who lost in his party's primary to become mayor, got 7 votes.
Get the full list of write-in votes at
A couple things to note: While the board of election must keep a tally of all people who receive write-in votes, the list above only identifies people whose names were written at least five times on the ballot.
In addition to mayor, the list also includes write-in votes for Charlotte City Council, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education and town races on the November ballot.
So are any non-politicians on the list?
Well, Observer Deputy City Editor Doug Miller reports that NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. always does well, according to the elections board. But Dale Jr. is ineligible for office because he's not a city resident. -- April Bethea

Brantley, Kipnis homers power Tribe past KC
CLEVELAND -- The Indians had their rally chicken last season. Perhaps the squirrel that invaded Progressive Field on Monday night, entertaining the crowd and causing a brief delay on the field, will bring a little luck this year.

CLEVELAND -- The Indians had their rally chicken last season. Perhaps the squirrel that invaded Progressive Field on Monday night, entertaining the crowd and causing a brief delay on the field, will bring a little luck this year.
Cleveland will take any help it can get.View Full Game Coverage
"He was OK by me," manager Terry Francona said.
In the opener of a four-game series with the American League Central rival Royals, starter Zach McAllister gave a solid performance and the Tribe's offense came through with a couple well-timed home runs to claim a 4-3 victory. The win was the second in a row for the Indians, who are still looking for their first three-game streak of the season.
Last September, following a rough stretch that included six losses in eight games, Cleveland's players brought a chicken to the field during batting practice. It roamed the outfield and wore a small cape with the Tribe's block "C" on display. The Indians then went on to win 19 of their last 24 games en route to the AL's top Wild Card spot.
You can decide whether it was all a big coincidence.
As for Indians' setup man Cody Allen -- the inspiration behind the team naming the chicken "Cody" last season -- he is not counting anything out. He logged one clean inning in Monday's win, as did lefty Marc Rzepczynski, who was in the Cardinals' bullpen when the famous Rally Squirrel ran in front of home plate during the Fall Classic in '11.
"It happened to them in 2011 and they won the World Series," Allen said with a smirk. "I know it's April, but you never know."
Cleveland's squirrel has hardly reached Rally status, but the critter that arrived to the ballpark on Monday certainly brought some energy. It sprinted through the outfield in the top of the second inning and ventured into the infield, forcing a momentary delay until it darted by the glove of first baseman Nick Swisher and into right field.
"I just kind of thought I'd put my glove down and give him a nice little home to come into," Swisher said with a laugh.
A group of workers eventually surrounded the squirrel and forced him into the Indians' bullpen beyond the center-field wall. There was a smattering of boos from the crowd as the small animal was escorted off the field.
"They could have got him for trespassing because I doubt if he bought a ticket," Royals manager Ned Yost joked. "And that's the first time I've seen a spectator run on the field where they didn't tackle him and arrest him."
Cleveland's relievers did what they could to help the squirrel retrieval crew.
"I was like, 'Bring it in here. Bring it in here. Get him out of harm's way,'" Allen said. "I didn't want [center fielder Michael Bourn] to be running back on a fly ball, look down and a squirrel be there. I don't think you can review that play."
The Indians (9-10) got the crowd going again in the fourth inning, when Jason Kipnis led off with a double against Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie. Two batters later, Michael Brantley drilled a 2-1 offering from Guthrie to deep right field for a two-run home run that pushed the Tribe to a 2-0 lead. The blast was Brantley's team-leading fourth of the season.
Shut-down innings have been an issue in the early going this season, and that held true in the top of the fifth.
Mike Moustakas and Alcides Escobar opened the inning with consecutive doubles against McAllister. The second in that series clanked off the glove of a diving Michael Bourn in center field, cutting Cleveland's lead to 2-1. The Royals evened things up when Jarrod Dyson bunted a pitch back to McAllister, who made a throwing error to first base, allowing Escobar to score.
Omar Infante later used a one-out single to left field to put the Royals ahead, 3-2.
"Any time they give us runs, you want to have a shut-down inning," McAllister said. "To give up three there was pretty frustrating for myself, especially in a game like that where runs are at a premium. To not get that shut-down inning was frustrating for me. Our guys picked me up again."
Kansas City's slim advantage held until the sixth inning, when Swisher slashed a pitch from Guthrie to the wall in left-center field for a leadoff double. That set the stage for Kipnis, who crushed a hanging 0-1 offering to right-center for a towering two-run home run. The shot marked the third of the season for the All-Star second baseman and put the Tribe ahead for good, 4-3.
Guthrie bowed out of the ballgame after giving up 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings for KC.
McAllister improved to 3-0 on the season with the win, during which he logged six innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits. Over his past three outings, the big right-hander has spun a tidy 1.37 ERA with 13 strikeouts against three walks across 19 3/2 innings.
"I thought he was good," Francona said. "I thought for the most part, his fastball was 92-93 [mph] at the knees. That's a good pitch. And then off of that, he threw some offspeed pitches. The one inning that he gave up some contact, and we had a couple missteps, he kept making pitches and he didn't come unglued. And then, he went back out and pitched good again."
John Axford finished what McAllister started, facing the minimum in the ninth inning to seal the win and earn his seventh save.
What the closer did not get to do was get a good look at the squirrel.
"I guess he just took off," Axford said. "Hopefully, he'll be back tomorrow so I'll get to say hi."

i saw the latest Hairy Potty flick not long ago. It was ok, it stuck very much to the book which kinda sucks. They should change things from the book to the film. This was part one of the last book. Best part was Hermione & Harry dancing to Nick Cave, and a nudie Hermione gettin it on with Potty. i dun believe she would like Ron Weasle, there's no charisma between them. Weasley would go for Luna Lovegooey who is more on his level.
Also saw "The Fighter". Christian Bale is awesome as the drugged out ex-fighter helping his bro (Mark Wahlberg) who is a fighter. Amy Adams is great here, too, and she's very hot!
i want to see "True Grit" and "The King's Speech" but will probably wait til they come out on dvd. Liked "The Town", best flick i've seen with Ben Afflicted in it.
So post good movies ya seen here unless you want to give them their own post. Whatever.

Movies i seen recently:
"Unstoppable" Denzel Washington & the runaway train flick. It's good 'cept for those Faux News reports that don't add to the narrative.
"Monsters" Dude & a chick have to travel thru the infected zone of Mexico, which contains giant jellyfish thingies from outer space. Not much monsters blood or gore but good romance road flick.
"The Girl who Played with the Firey Green Hornets Nest Tattoo" whatever trilogy. The 1st movie is the best, then it slightly goes down hill after that. The ending of the final film sucked but the whole thing is still worth watching.

i saw "Thor" recently. It worked better than i expected though i was hoping for a more serious version. Natalie Portman was a bit too giggly as Jane Foster. They didn't have Sif as the love interest she is in the comics. i wish Thor's time on earth had been before he met Jane, this making his exile & lesson in humility seem more realistic. But it coulda been worse- it could have turned out like that pile of garage aka "Daredevil".

One of the best movies I have seen as of late is 'Be kind Re-wind' Starring Jack Black and Mos Def. It's a wonderful low budget film and I love the theme of 'The People'. Always makes for great rainy day entertainment to whip out this film again and again.

Caught "Super 8" and "Tree Of Life" on dvd last nite. The former steals lots from "ET" & "Close Encounters" while the latter is artsy fartsy. Both were okay.

I rarely see movies because of the cost of tickets. The last movie I saw in the theater was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, at a "picture show" two-screen theater right on the Mississippi. At the end they were handing out stuff and I thought it was going to be posters, or else raffle tickets, or else coupons for free popcorn or buy one ticket get one free. They handed out sample size bottles of HAND LOTION! I thought that was seriously bizarre and thought, is this a backwards porno theater? Is the next film Hairy Porner?
Anyhoodle as far as movies, I recently saw Swing Girls . It's a 2005 Japanese movie about a group of students forming a swing band. Most of the actors didn't play their instruments and the director wanted there to be sour notes and all so the actors took lessons and were filmed through the learning stages. But it's a cute and funny movie that's safe to watch with grandma or the kids.
I have seen Inception, it's amazing and the concept is totally different from others...

hmmm wassup with this "livres neufs à prix réduits" crappola, eh spammer?
i saw "The Amazing Spiderman" and "The Dark Knight Rises" lately. Spidey was good, better than Raimi's 1st & 3rd flicks. Plus an xc wife is in the movie- Emma Stonecrazed as Gwen Stacy.
i also liked the Batman movie best of all 3 films by this director.

i saw "Dark Shadows" recently. Goofy stuff, not like the tv show which was mellowdramatic instead of um goofy. But since the tv series was big on parallel time, i think the movie should be watched while thinkin it's a parallel time world. That'd explain why the characters are so unlike those in the series.

Bond, James Bond. i saw "Skyfall" the other nite. They actually had a reasonably good story without lotsa convoluted plot nonsense. Excellent cinematography and i liked the Adele song so good stuff all round.

"Frankenweenie" is pretty good. Lotsa nice horror flick references.
"Looper" i liked too. Time travel/mob flick. i wanna travel back in time & get more xc wives.
Not-so-good movie: "Killer Joe". Great performances but characters I didn't care about & it was about 15 min too long.

i wanna see the Hobbit. But i figure i'll probably end up buying the dvd so i dun wanna waste money at the theatres.

"Another Earth". Sad & hopeful tale of chick seeking redemption, no it ain't Xena. Movie is less depressing than "Melancholia" which also dealt with dual planet too close for comfort to earth. But neither flick really had much to do with sci-fi. i loved how "Another Earth" ends but i ain't gonna tell ya & ruin it. So rent a copy.
|Scroll Desperado
"Bourne Legacy" or bored leg-fall-asleep as i call it. Bourne ain't even in it & the rest of it is either action scenes ya seen before or pompous bureaucrats actin all super-serious just to save their hide. Still, Rachel Weisz is a hottie.
"Compliance" Based on true events (unless Faux network covered it). Cute fast food restaurant chick is under fast food place suspicion for stealing mullah from purse. This from someone claiming to be a cop on the phone. If this wasn't bases on real story it'd be totally stoopid cuz you'd wonder how such idiots could exist even in fiction. Worth renting i guess.

I saw Les Mis a few weeks ago.. very long movie that. Also since I haven't read the book or seen the play or whatever, I didn't realize it was going to be ALL singing.
I thought there would be a song and then talking and then another song and then more talking, etc, but nope! All singing! Not that I have a problem with that, I just wasn't prepared is all. But at least now I can add 'On My Own' to my repertoire of pathetic songs. It will go along nicely with Heart's 'Alone'
The best part about the movie was that there were three empty seats next to me so I could lift all the arm rests up and stretch my legs out to the side and move about as much as I wanted to. I was *this close* to lying down..

Mexican State of Yucatán Buys Archaeological Site of Chichen Itza from Private Landowner
The archaeological site of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan state, Mexico, 29 March 2010. Yucatan's Government announced on 30 March 2010, the purchase of 205,097 private acres of the Chichen Itza zone at a prize of 17,6 US million dollars. The sale was described as a 'historical agreement' successfully achieved by the official entity 'Cultur' in order to become this place into a patrimony of the people from Yucatan and Mexico. EPA/JACINTO KANEK
A historic transaction between the Government of Yucatán and businessman Hans Jurgen Thies Barbachano yesterday allowed the State to buy 83 hectares of land where the archaeological site of Chichen Itza sits for 220 million pesos (17,800,150 USD).
The negotiation, which ended two days ago with the signing of an agreement to purchase the land, began more or less a year ago between the Governor Ivonne Ortega Pacheco and Hans Jürgen Thies Barbachano, the owner, who sought the care and protection of historical monuments there to remain as heritage of the State of Yucatan.
Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the northern Maya lowlands from the Late Classic through the Terminal Classic and into the early portion of the Early Postclassic period. The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, from what is called Mexicanized and reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico to the Puuc style found among the Puuc Maya of the northern lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.
The site contains many fine stone buildings in various states of preservation, and many have been restored. The buildings are connected by a dense network of formerly paved roads, called sacbeob. Archaeologists have found almost 100 sacbeob criss-crossing the site, and extending in all directions from the city.
The buildings of Chichén Itza are grouped in a series of architectonic sets, and each set was at one time separated from the other by a series of low walls. The three best known of these complexes are the Great North Platform, which includes the monuments of El Castillo, Temple of Warriors and the Great Ball Court; The Ossario Group, which includes the pyramid of the same name as well as the Temple of Xtoloc; and the Central Group, which includes the Caracol, Las Monjas, and Akab Dzib.
South of Las Monjas, in an area known as Chichén Viejo (Old Chichén) and only open to archaeologists, are several other complexes, such as the Group of the Initial Series, Group of the Lintels, and Group of the Old Castle.
Chichen Itza entered the popular imagination in 1843 with the book Incidents of Travel in Yucatan by John Lloyd Stephens (with illustrations by Frederick Catherwood). The book recounted Stephens visit to Yucatán and his tour of Maya cities, including Chichén Itzá. The book prompted other explorations of the city. In 1860, Desire Charnay surveyed Chichén Itzá and took numerous photographs that he published in Cités et ruines américaines (1863).
In 1875, Augustus Le Plongeon and his wife Alice Dixon Le Plongeon visited Chichén, and excavated a statue of a figure on its back, knees drawn up, upper torso raised on its elbows with a plate on its stomach. Augustus Le Plongeon called it Chaacmol (later renamed Chac Mool, which has been the term to describe all types of this statuary found in Mesoamerica). Teobert Maler and Alfred Maudslay explored Chichén in the 1880s and both spent several weeks at the site and took extensive photographs. Maudslay published the first long-form description of Chichen Itza in his book, Biologia Centrali-Americana.
In 1894 the United States Consul to Yucatán, Edward H. Thompson purchased the Hacienda Chichén, which included the ruins of Chichen Itza. For 30 years, Thompson explored the ancient city. His discoveries included the earliest dated carving upon a lintel in the Temple of the Initial Series and the excavation of several graves in the Ossario (High Priests Temple). Thompson is most famous for dredging the Cenote Sagrado (Sacred Cenote) from 1904 to 1910, where he recovered artifacts of gold, copper and carved jade, as well as the first-ever examples of what were believed to be pre-Columbian Maya cloth and wooden weapons. Thompson shipped the bulk of the artifacts to the Peabody Museum at Harvard University.
In 1913, archaeologist Sylvanus G. Morley persuaded the Carnegie Institution to fund an extensive archaeological project at Chichen Itza, which included mapping the ruins and restoring several of the monuments. The Mexican Revolution and the following government instability prevented the Carnegie from beginning work until 1924. Over the course of 10 years, the Carnegie researchers excavated and restored the Temple of Warriors and the Caracol. At the same time, the Mexican government excavated and restored El Castillo and the Great Ball Court.
In 1926, the Mexican government charged Edward Thompson with theft, claiming he stole the artifacts from the Cenote Sagrado and smuggled them out of the country. The government seized the Hacienda Chichén. Thompson, who was in the United States at the time, never returned to Yucatán. He wrote about his research and investigations of the Maya culture in a book People of the Serpent published in 1932. He died in New Jersey in 1935. In 1944 the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that Thompson had broken no laws and returned Chichen Itza to his heirs. The Thompsons sold the hacienda to tourism pioneer Fernando Barbachano Peon.
In the early 1920s, a group of Yucatecans, led by writer/photographer Francisco Gomez Rul, began working toward expanding tourism to Yucatán. They urged Governor Felipe Carrillo Puerto to build roads to the more famous monuments, including Chichen Itza. In 1923, Governor Carrillo Puerto officially opened the highway to Chichen Itza. Gomez Rul published one of the first guidebooks to Yucatán and the ruins.
Gomez Rul's son-in-law, Fernando Barbachano Peon (a grandnephew of former Yucatán Governor Miguel Barbachano), started Yucatáns first official tourism business in the early 1920s. He began by meeting passengers that arrived by steamship to Progreso, the port north of Merida, and persuading them to spend a week in Yucatán, after which they would catch the next steamship to their next destination. In his first year Barbachano Peon reportedly was only able to convince seven passengers to leave the ship and join him on a tour. In the mid-1920s Barbachano Peon persuaded Edward Thompson to sell 5 acres (20,000 m2) next to Chichen for a hotel. In 1930, the Mayaland Hotel opened, just north of the Hacienda Chichén, which had been taken over by the Carnegie Institution.
In 1944, Barbachano Peon purchased all of the Hacienda Chichén, including Chichen Itza, from the heirs of Edward Thompson. Around that same time the Carnegie Institution completed its work at Chichen Itza and abandoned the Hacienda Chichén, which Barbachano turned into another seasonal hotel.
Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the second-most visited of Mexico's archaeological sites. The archaeological site draws many visitors from the popular tourist resort of Cancún, who make a day trip on tour buses. In 2007, Chichen Itza's El Castillo was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World after a worldwide vote. Despite the fact that the vote was sponsored by a commercial enterprise, and that its methodology was criticized, the vote was embraced by government and tourism officials in Mexico who project that as a result of the publicity the number of tourists expected to visit Chichen will double by 2012. The ensuing publicity re-ignited debate in Mexico over the ownership of the site, which culminated in the state of Yucatan on 29 March 2010 purchasing the land under which the most recognized monuments rest from owner Hans Juergen Thies Barbachano.
The ruins of Chichen Itza are federal property, and the sites stewardship is maintained by Mexicos Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (National Institute of Anthropology and History, INAH).

So far I have it connecting to my network (using a static ip address) finding the current time (by talking to an NTP server) and then getting the weather forecast from the google api. It's pretty nifty to be able to get the weather forecast with a simple http request like this: http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?weather=cambridge,england&hl=en-GB I've even gotten the weather icons and popped them onto a microSD card, so when I render the forecast it looks pretty. This is a photo of what I have working so far: All the code is in C# (.Net Micro Framework) and all the networking is done using plain old Sockets. So when I'm talking to the google api I'm creating a TCP socket and sending the GET request the old fashioned way. All good fun. I'm actually thinking about building a network of oBIX compliant sensor devices and making this weather forecaster device double up as the central hub... what madness.

April 23, 2011 - According to news sources, rescue patrols from the National Forestry Corporation found alive two hikers that had been missing in the mountainside of the Quetrupillán Volcano, in the La Araucanía Region.
According to officials from the organization, the Italian Analissa Lombardo and the Czech Citizen identified as Philip Kunge were found in the Huililco sector, in the Villarrica National Park, with the onset of hypothermia. As a result of this, they were transferred to the San Francisco Hospital of Pucón so that medical personnel could check their health conditions.
The visitors found themselves lost from Thursday night when the Italian activated her emergency satellite device, communicating with the Control Center in Texas, United States, from where they referred the information on to the Chilean Navy, who extended the information on to the National Emergency Office.
On Sunday, May 15th 2011, the GEOS International Emergency Rescue Coordination Center (IERCC) received an SOS notification from a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. The location coordinates provided were that of a remote avalanche-prone region in Washington State's Northern Cascade mountain range. The registered owner of the SPOT Messenger is Dan Anderson, a former Marine, a retired Army Special Forces Soldier (Green Beret) war veteran and a Washington State Trooper.
The IERCC contacted the Washington State OEM (Office of Emergency Management) providing the location coordinates and Mr. Anderson's registered profile information. An immediate search and rescue was dispatched.
Days earlier, the off-duty Mr. Anderson embarked on a planned crossing of the rugged Cascades. An experienced outdoorsman, he had decided to complete the crossing solo by snowshoe.
Anderson headed towards Holden Village near the north end of Lake Chelan. As he was setting up camp on Sunday night near a mountain glacier above 5,000' elevation, Anderson realized that he had lost his all-season tent during an earlier fall. A combination of heavy rain and snow left Anderson cold, wet and without proper shelter.
December 14, 2010 - At 0556 GMT the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) received a SOS alert from a SPOT device. The coordinates showed the unit to be located 393 Nautical Miles (NM) northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico and 475NM southeast of Hamilton, Bermuda.
On Friday, February 18, 2011, the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) received a 911/SOS alert from a SPOT device in Nevada. IERCC personnel contacted local emergency services that responded to the location of the incident. Once on scene, emergency personnel worked to extricate one individual that had become trapped under heavy machinery. After being freed, the injured party was taken, via helicopter, to a nearby hospital.
February 6, 2011 - The GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) received a 911/SOS alert from a SPOT device. Local emergency services were contacted and informed of the activation. Emergency personnel responded to the coordinates finding an injured individual that had been involved in a snow skiing accident. The victim was airlifted to a nearby hospital with several broken ribs.

Fastenal presents $10K gift to Kelce College of Business
Tuesday, January 29, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
After receiving bachelor's and master's degrees in history from Pittsburg State University, Ken Nance had a decision to make.
"I was either going to get a Ph.D. or go to law school," Nance said.
Then a third option presented itself.
"Then I found Fastenal," Nance said. "I should say, Fastenal found me."
Fastenal, one of the nation's leading distributors of construction supplies, hired Nance in 1992 as a trainee in its Joplin office. Twenty years and many promotions later, Nance is now the company's executive vice president. In that role, he oversees more than 1,250 branches, eight regional vice presidents, more than $500 million in assets and $1.6 billion in revenue.
"I owe it all to Pittsburg State University," Nance said. "I would not be where I am today without Pitt State."
Nance was back on PSU's campus on Jan. 29 to take part in an announcement of a "special relationship" between PSU and Fastenal – an announcement that culminated with the presentation of a $10,000 gift from Fastenal to PSU's Kelce College of Business.
Paul Grimes, dean of the Kelce College of Business, said the gift is one example of Fastenal's relationship with PSU.
"I've always been impressed with the approach Fastenal takes when it comes to the university," Grimes said. "They did not want to just come here and hire our students or take them to internships. They wanted to give something back. That is what we are here today to celebrate. This partnership will be sowing seeds that we'll be reaping in the future as we go forward."
Joe Stephens, Fastenal regional vice president, said the quality of students at Pitt State is why the company chose to invest in the Kelce College of Business.
"At Fastenal, we place a high value on four specific principles," Stephens said. "They are ambition, innovation, teamwork and integrity. You look at those values and you align that with what Pitt State does in the educational process, and there is some very nice synergy there.
"The work that you do at Pitt State," Stephens said, "is recognized by our company as critical to our success. That is what today is all about."
James Blades, a PSU graduate and Fastenal district manager in St. Louis, said during Tuesday's presentation that he often thinks of Pitt State when recruiting potential employees.
"In my current position, I have the opportunity to recruit and visit many career fairs," he said. "Throughout all of that, you can clearly see the quality of students right here at this university."

2013 and earlier Lexus ES 350 Lease Questions
gr8trfool Posts: 21This appears to be one of the few areas geographically where the base ES 350 is sold. Does not include Convenience Package ($3500) which is on most Es 350s throughout the country. But, if you dont need a backup camera, heated seats and a few other minor touches, can be a good deal. So the MSRP is just under $38K instead of at $41k like most of the country.0
Yep. I did check all that out. Just did not want to get into all the weeds of it. I believe the South Florida dealers are first to offer the true Dec. to remember. Today though I can't get into any of our local lexus dealers web pages. This tells me late today or Sat. They will all be kicking the Dec. to remember roll out. But does anyone really want a bare bones 350--- I think not. You could get a better equipped Chevy Impala-- loaded. But--- I don't care for GM or Ford.
The best deal would be a left over 2013. Identical to 2014 except wheels. That's where the big deals will be. But move fast-- they won't last long.0
Well they just rolled out the Dec. to remember. Good till Jan. 2nd. But---- no big offer. They are allowing complimentary first months payment up to $700. No big deal there. $339 month for 27 months $2995 down plus all taxes and fee's. hardly a Dec. to remember in the Buffalo area. Glad I got my Rx awd with all the nice packages back in June.0
One other thing---that offer is on the ES -- the RX is considerably more.0

New York, August 13, 2010--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Turkish authorities to release American journalist Jake Hess, who is being detained in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir, according to the Turkish daily Hürriyet. Hess is accused of collaborating with the Kurdish Communities Union (KCK), referred to in news reports as the "urban wing" of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Hess, who is a contributor to the Inter Press Service new agency, was detained on Wednesday evening, according to Serkan Akbaş, his lawyer. Akbaş told CPJ that Hess "wrote several articles that angered the authorities." He added that when Hess was arrested the police said he was being detained on allegations of "aiding the PKK" and that his name was in the government's file on the KCK.
The lawyer told CPJ that Hess' name was in the KCK file likely in connection with a translation job he did in 2009 for a nongovernmental organization in Turkey called the Human Rights Association, which has reported extensively on human rights violations related to the Kurdish issue. Akbaş said that the timing of the arrest "clearly shows that they got annoyed with his articles." Hess wrote about human rights violations against Kurds. His latest piece, about Kurdish refugees who had fled to northern Iraq after the Turkish army attacked their villages, was published on August 4.
The Anatolia News Agency reported today that Hess is still being questioned in Diyarbakir and that police officials told the agency that Hess is not a journalist, and that he may be deported. An inquiry to the Turkish Embassy in Washington was not immediately returned.
"Jake Hess is a legitimate journalist and the mere appearance of his name in KCK documents is not grounds for detention, prosecution, or deportation," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "We call on Turkish authorities to immediately release Hess and not hinder his reporting."
Sanjay Suri, the Inter Press Service's editor-in-chief, confirmed that Hess is a contributor and told CPJ that his "pieces have been on rights for Kurds within areas of Turkey and northern Iraq." Suri told CPJ that Hess is due to appear before a judge on Saturday.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The work of the Human Rights Association has been clarified in paragraph three.

I got my eyes opened by two young Turks. Well, no, not Turks, actually Indians: Sumit and Srikant. I was consulting for their employer in Mumbai several years ago. They needed an email server with more oomph than their existing one. In ten days, we designed, procured, and set up a replacement cluster of servers.
The evening I was to leave, they spoke to me of trust, and how, after working with me, they trusted me. I was somewhat nonplussed. "Of course I should be trusted -- I am a highly-paid and experienced professional." No, they said, in India it works the other way around: first you do business with someone, then you learn to trust him.
A lack of trust makes it hard to do business. If you don't trust someone, you have to set up some mechanism for resolving the trust. For example, when Sumit was checking me into the Leela (a five+ star hotel), I noticed that he had to pay a deposit in cash in addition to paying with a credit card. I didn't understand it at my arrival, but I understood it at my departure.
By the way, you should know that any credit card charge can be disputed. You simply tell the bank that you refuse to pay that particular charge, and they will take it off your bill. You have three months in which to do this. The company that generated the charge must then provide proof that you authorized the charge, that the items were as represented, that you actually received them, etc.
Transaction cost is the cost of making a business deal. For example, the time spent weighing one deal against another is the transaction cost. Your time spent going to the store, standing in front of the display, considering the value of a purchase, standing in line at the register, and returning home, are all part of the transaction cost of shopping.
A lack of trust adds to the transaction cost. Instead of buying something sight-unseen, you have to verify that you are actually getting what you are paying for. People do this for large purchases, e.g. by walking through a house, and paying for a professional inspection of the house. That's because the value of the transaction greatly outweighs those transaction costs.
A culture, or society, where businessmen cannot be trusted, is an economically-inefficient society.

Reviews for Rich Ferguson's latest video, "This is Mentalism," have been posted on the forums and reviewers are praising the video's quality, variety and Ferguson's teaching. Some of the comments we've heard from forum members include:
"At the end of the day, this is a really solid collection of mentalism effects that will hit audiences hard, but that don't require a lot of work (method-wise) from you. There's a lot of focus on presentation, which is really the more important element when performing mentalism." –Kevin Reylek
"He comes off as a very personable guy who really wants you to learn the material. You can tell he's not a magician looking to spill out a bunch of sub-par effects onto an overpriced DVD." –Jason.Michael
"There are many useful effects that can go right into your routine. There are some old ideas that have been re-vamped, and Rich is great at re-creating an old idea."
"What I liked about the DVD is the value. You get alot of psychological subleties, mentalism information and advice." –FishSticks
"When I first started looking into mentalism routines they seemed boring and complicated. I did not realize how much easier it could be and how interesting it was until I watched this DVD. Ferguson's advice on mentalism is great and sensible. He could have done an entire DVD over just mentalism theory and it would have been worth the twenty nine dollars! I truly learned a lot." –Brandon Sheffield
"The real gems are the bits of advice on performance, framing and structure of the effects that Rich talks about. The mechanics are always simple. There's not one 'real' sleight in the DVD. There's a couple bold moves, but nothing is difficult. The real genius is the way he presents those simple mechanics. There's also a nice 15 minute or so section with Rich just talking about different ways to perform and frame effects at the end that is pretty great." –Christopher Thiesse
"The value of This is Mentalism is that Rich teaches you the nuances of how to perform those effects. You can watch this video just to learn the effects or you also can think about what Rich is telling you regarding presentation and apply that to other mentalism effects and magic effects. If you do the latter, you will get a double benefit from this video." –RealityOne

In order to continue their outreach in the community and broaden the movement for the project, they showed a version of their design at the Espiritu Terra Community Garden on South 2nd Street near Roebling Avenue.
It calls for extending of the neighborhood's existing park space across the BQE between Marcy Avenue and Rodney Street, from South 3rd to South 5th Streets.
Also known as the BQGreen Project, the "deck" will extend across the 20 to 30-foot depression of the expressway and increase open space by 30 percent, according to Reyna's office.
Dland Studio was granted a budget range of $85 to $175 million to perform a feasibility study for the plan in 2010, and while the project is still in the introductory stages, the question has now become whether they will get the funding to move forward with the undertaking.
"It all depends on whether the city and state decide to back it," said Dland Studio principal Susannah Drake. "We're trying to get their attention, and attention at a time when were about to have a change in the mayor and in the process of Sandy recovery."
Aside from adding more trees to the industrial overlay of the expressway, the plan calls for garden space, a pool, playgrounds, basketball courts, a baseball field and a community center.
Designed to inspire economic growth and green awareness in the region, Drake explained that the health benefits and long-term investment in greenhouse gas reductions outweigh any budgetary constraints.
"We've calculated that if we put in 350 trees, it would return $50 million over 10 years; cleaning the water, cooling the air and generally reducing pollution," she said. "Seventy-five percent of the cost are paid for and can be earned back over the years it will take to complete the project."
According to the feasibility study, bridges at South Third, Fourth and Fifth streets, envisioned in the project, will soon need about $10 million in repairs.
"The bridges across the BQE are about 50 years old and will eventually need to be replaced," Drake said. "The city will have to replace these in the next 10 years."
Drake said the city may not take the risk at a time when they already have to consider rebuilding the outdated overpasses, and is concerned that they might play it safe.
"There are just a lot of people who are comfortable doing the same old thing," Drake said. "Every time you innovate, there's a cost, there's an initial investment that has to happen."
Commissioned by Reyna in 2005, the project has been facilitated by El Puente, the St. Nicks Alliance and the Southside United Housing Development Fund Corp. (Los Sures) to advocate for the development of South Williamsburg and provide the community outreach.
According to a representative at Reyna's office, the councilwoman has been looking to federal funding, as it seems state expenditures are more focused on Sandy relief efforts.
Nevertheless, Reyna explained the project is still very important in reducing air pollution and providing an outlet for community activity and exercise.
"The close proximity of one of New York City's busiest highways to Williamsburg residents has dramatically increased the level of particulate and often toxic matter in residential areas over the last several decades," Reyna said.
According to the feasibility study, roughly 3,500 cars travel through the BQE trench during peak hours, producing 20,000 pounds of pollutants,including hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide.
"The BQGreen project will play a role in addressing these health concerns in both preventive and remedial ways," Reyna said. "By reducing the level of air pollution in residential areas and providing more open green space for the community to exercise, we hope to address the discouraging rates of asthma and obesity in North Brooklyn."

Sales figures are a closely guarded secret in the two-wheeled realm, especially when it comes to numbers for specific motorcycle models. It is a shame really, as these are the kind of numbers that we here at Asphalt & Rubber love to pour over for hours, looking for insights, trends, and meanings. So for us, the above graph is made of pure motorcycling gold.
Taken from the Ducati 1199 Panigale R international press launch, where Ducati Motor Holding's General Manager Claudio Domenicali shared with the assembled journalists the first-year sales figures for each of the Italian company's Superbike models, the above is a direct recreation of the presentation's slide, which unsurprisingly Ducati didn't include when it handed us a copy of the PowerPoint presentation.
In the age of computers and smartphones, not to mention a room full of moto-journalist, it is hard to imagine how Ducati didn't foresee this information being disseminated to the public, but I digress. After the jump are some of my initial thoughts from looking at the data on each model. We'll be playing more with this information in the coming days as well.

As we all know, "different" does not necessarily equal "better." Yes, the operating system Microsoft has concocted for its ballyhooed Kin One ($49.99 with rebate and two-year contract) and Kin Two ($99.99 with rebate and two-year contract) phones, made by Sharp for Verizon, is way beyond different. Whatever the OS is called – and Microsoft hasn't called it anything (it has design elements we've seen in demos of Windows Phone 7), it's a whole new cell OS gestalt, with little that is recognizable from Apple's iPhone, Google's Android OS, or even Windows Mobile, thank goodness. But does different mean it is better than any of these previous OSs?
Kin OS and Software
Microsoft's Susan-Boyle-like makeover of Windows Mobile adopts a collage philosophy, splaying a mass of single-color graphics, images and text on its three home screens: apps, The Loop, and Favorites. With no breathing space and little organizational sequence or priority, it's a busy OS. To our quickly wearying eyes, all these tightly-packed and tightly-cropped on-screen elements felt claustrophobic, like kids jamming into a phone booth (remember those?), all mushed together, making quick identification of a single face, function or app difficult.
Like any new thing, you can get used to the Kin's urban design zeitgeist, but its beauty-to-functionality ratio will definitely be in the eye of the holder. And its intended holder is the 15 to 25 crowd, each of whom may initially be attracted to "different" just to appear to be different.
By emphasizing social networking while deemphasizing other otherwise de rigueur cell functions and added applications, the Kin OS is this generation's gussied up Sidekick.
The Kin's primary home page is called The Loop, consisting of your status, and Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter updates from your designated social networks. Quote bubbles of new text messages cover these updates. Motorola's Motoblur for Android offers a similar approach, but its updates – which also includes messaging and news feeds – are presented as overlays, pop-up bubbles over the standard Android screen. On the Kin, these social media updates are the screen, with nothing underneath.
Perhaps the Kin's most innovative idea is Microsoft's online mirroring Web site, called Kin Studio. Nearly everything you do on the phone – add a contact, view videos, send e-mail or texts – can be done from Kin.com, which uses the e-mail address and password you enter during the phone's setup process. Even more convenient, everything you do on your phone is mirrored on Studio, which means all photos and low resolution videos are automatically uploaded to your Kin Web page.
To the right of The Loop is Favorites, a page of your most frequent contacts arranged into irregularly shaped and sized rectangles with tightly-cropped faces and all-cap contact names.
All screen space is monopolized by apps, faces, or updates, but you can use a photo as your lock screen wallpaper for some personalization. Fortunately, you also can switch from the sickly pea green "Voss" default color scheme to one of three other more aesthetically pleasing – but ultimately boring – themes. Just to help quickly identify the look-alike screens and app icons, it would be nice if we had a wider diversity of coloring options. More annoyingly, you have to restart the Kin to apply your new theme.
The Kin OS also doesn't appear to offer additional apps, Microsoft's or anyone else's.
The Kin OS may have its overall pros and cons, but on the Kin Two and its 3.4-inch 480 x 320 pixel LCD, the OS clutter is at least decipherable. But the Kin OS overwhelms the Two.6-inch 320 x 240 pixel screen on the poor, little Kin One, requiring a lot more scrolling around to get to vital data. It's too much information in too little space.
Form Factor
Physically, both Kins have one only front button: a wide silver back key. There is no home key, (although holding down back brings you to The Loop, and no send or end keys to quickly initiate voice calls. If you want to verbally communicate, you have to get to the apps page, of which "phone" is one, along with messages, e-mail, browser, camera, settings, alarm, and so on. Even contacts are relegated to this apps page, buried at the bottom. If you want phone status – battery remaining, signal strength, ringer status – you have to tap the small time rectangle on the bottom right of one of the three home screens.
The cute Kin One may be the first square cell since the Sony (pre-Ericsson) CM-RX100 – five years ago. While the Kin One looks like a makeup compact, it's more like a baby with a really huge head, its small body trembling under the weight of its OS.
The Kin Two is a more pedantic horizontal slider phone with a three-line QWERTY.
While their shapes are different, the Kins share some physical characteristics. Both are slippery devils, for one thing. And the perimeter controls – volume, camera shutter, power – are too flush to the surface, thereby difficult to find by feel and to actually activate.
Equally unusual – in a good way – are the slide-out QWERTY keyboards on each phone. Each uses round keys well-spaced from their neighbors, which minimizes mistypes. The letter labels are all lower case and stylishly offset on each key; our only problem was quickly discerning the "q" from the "g" since the offset removes the serif from the latter letter.
Strangely, the smaller Kin One actually has the better keyboard. It sits in a slightly concave white background, which better offsets the black keys, the keys are arranged in a slight arc, and aren't as spread out, which makes it more comfortable to thumb tap for those with shorter fingers.
The Kin One includes 4GB of onboard memory; the Kin Two offers 8GB – and that's all you get. Neither Kin has an external expandable memory slot. Both Kins include a microUSB power/sync jack and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Linux Magazin: Software Modelling with Umbrello
The German edition of Linux Magazin (de) is currently featuring an article (Jan's translation, Google's version) on Umbrello. Umbrello (screenshots) is a UML drawing tool that will be shipped with KDE 3.2 in the coming months. The article gives the user a short introduction to the latest stable version (1.1.1), and also lists some known problems in the current code base. So help us test Umbrello and get rid of those last remaining bugs!
First post!
Was anyone able to make any sense out of the English translation of that page? I could barely understand anything it said.

Re: "(google_en)" ??
Read some slower or reread before you post ;-)
Here you go Mike:
And it is quite a good translation (IMHO).

> Read some slower or reread before you post ;-)
How slow? ;-)
> And it is quite a good translation (IMHO).
I admit since I don't speak German I can't evaluate that, but I can try to make sense of the following in English as a particularly disturbing example...
"Again abandoned in order to return to the showing mode, it proves the input mode as amazingly tricky. To expect it would be that to everyone mouse-click outside of the text field the editing mode terminated."
After rereading some things that made no sense they began to make small sense. Some, like the above text, make little sense at all. Frankly I'd rather be standing on a street corner in Frankfurt exchanging hand signals and pantomime than reading this as my mind bobs up and down trying to assemble it into a rational sentence structure. At least we could communicate on where to get a good pilsner. ;-)
By Eric Laffoon at Tue, 2003/05/06 - 5:00am
Re: "(google_en)" ??
My guess:
"Again, leaving input mode in order to return to display mode proved amazingly tricky. I would have expected that clicking outside of the text field would terminate the edition mode."
But really, compared to babelfish, this is great work :-)
Footnote: I speak no german, and english ain't my language either. Hell, I don't even understand UML!

Roberto, when you finish translating the translation please send me a copy. Be sure to include plenty of those witty footnotes. ;-)
By Eric Laffoon at Wed, 2003/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: "(google_en)" ??
"To exit the edit mode again to return to the view mode is amazingly tricky. We would expect that any click outside of the text-field terminated the edit mode. Actually one must confirm changes with the [Return] key or cancel with the [ESC] key. Clicking into the help window or a double click on another structure component exits the input mode as well, although in these cases Umbrello loses any changes made."

Umbrello uml
Umbrello is the best tool for UML on Linux. I've tried to install Rational Rose on my Débian during 4 hours. No way, it can't start. Other tool like dia are not made for UML, and that's why IMHO there are not user friendly as UML modeller.
Go Umbrello !
By Gonéri Le Bouder at Tue, 2003/05/06 - 5:00am
Re: Umbrello uml
Of course you haven't tried Poseidon (http://www.gentleware.com/products/index.php3), it's great for all kinds of UML. And it's based off a free software product. But it's proprietary, which is why I'm posting anonymously.

But it is very slow and not integrated into KDE desktop. Of course it has other strengths, but I think the open source community is big enough to support at least 2 UML tools.

Re: Umbrello uml
I've used Umbrello, and like it a lot.
Some of my co-workers can't use Linux, so I've downloaded ArgoUML for them.
Argo looks terrible, but works well.

Re: Umbrello uml
The probleme is that we can't export file from Umbrello to Rose/Argo/PutYourUMLEditorHere.
By Gonéri Le Bouder at Wed, 2003/05/07 - 5:00am
Re: Umbrello uml
Well, Umbrello files are save in XMI. It should be possible to share xmi files between all UML tools. But, this is only theory. In XMI there are only the modell data stored (which classes, use cases and so on). But the diagram informations are not stored in XMI (so things like where on the diagram is the class, which colour and so on). There is till now no standard how to exchange these information.
Most tools save these information in the XMI file in a special section. So to import a file to another tool you need a filter which could interpret this special section. So it is very clear, that Rose/Argo or some other tools don't provide such filters for import Umbrello XMI files.
This is of course a mess. But in the upcoming UML 2.0 standard, this problem will be solved. There, diagram information will be saved as SVG. But 2.0 isn't published yet...

I like Umbrello, but i think that the MagicDraw UML is the best tool for linux.
By Daniel Torres B... at Tue, 2004/01/06 - 6:00am
Very nice!
At a first try Umbrello allowed me to conveniently draw a diagram and save it and that's better than other open source UML diagramming tools I'd tried previously. At last an opportunity for me to learn UML hands-on. Great work!

UML Tools for Linux
ArgoUML is a nice tool but it's a little slow and the user interface is ugly. Poseidon is based on ArgoUML and has a cleaner user interface. Speed is about the same but maybe a bit faster. It's nice to be able to export diagrams as PNG. However, both these tools do not currently support PHP code generation to my knowledge. I know Umbrello does and this is why I'm considering trying it out. Oh yeah, one drawback to Poseidon is that it's not open source. Hence, the reason I don't want to use it. Anyway, I'm anticipating Umbrello 1.2 because it's going to include the missing deployment and component diagrams, will have bug fixes and will support code generation for many more languages. I hope more people contribute to Umbrello. We need a good enterprise UML tool that is open source and can be used to foster enterprise OSS development. It would also be nice to see Umbrello ported to different platforms to encourage its widespread use. But it's KDE-based so I don't know how much work that would take.
Does anyone know of any other UML tools that are open source and can generate PHP code?

Re: UML Tools for Linux
I am now using Visual Paradigm for UML and Visual Paradigm SDE for NetBeans Community Edition. It is extermly fast. The Community Edition only support real-time Java code generation. I know the Professional Edition can do code generation better. I don't know is it supports PHP. But Visual Paradigm for UML is not open source.
