Hi All,
I'm getting a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException thrown in my Spring/Hibernate app, because it can't find the jdbc datasource.
I'm trying out Cloud Foundry for a new project at a new job. Previously I've worked on small clusters of Tomcat servers hosted on machines in data centers I've had access to, so this Cloud business is all new to me.
I've got my JNDI datasource defined on my local TV instance in server.xml, and it all works fine.
What's the 'best practice' approach to setting up the datasource in a cloud environment? I've seen mentions of pre-initialization scripts, but I've no idea how I can get Cloud Foundry to acept/run any such scripts. Should I be using server.xml-defined JNDI datasources at all? Is there a more 'modern' way of doing things these days?
Any and all help will be muchly appreciated.

Simon Ellis's debut feature is an unconventional romantic comedy following the saga of Dan (Luke Treadaway), an unemployed journalist who tries to make his name with an expose about a decidedly British cultural phenomenon: "dogging" – public sex in grubby parking lots. Luckily, Dan's lascivious roomie (Richard Riddell) is the ideal tour guide to Newcastle's swinging car park nightlife, and soon Dan is trawling chatrooms and arranging hook-ups with "Horny Geordie Lass." Time Out hailed the young cast's "spiky, naturalistic performances."

Subjects Taught Piano, Singing, Music Theory, Songwriting
About Me
From the first time I struck a key on a piano, I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life. The emotions you get from happiness, to fulfillment, to a gained self-esteem; that is the gift of music that I give to my students.
Throughout high school, I was in orchestra, marching band, and choir, which I feel has helped broaden my musicality at a young age. I have been classically trained in piano for over 10 years, but also have a background in rock/pop/alternative styles. I have trained in voice for 4 years and primarily am familiar with pop/rock styles.
In my spare time, I plan musical benefit shows supporting charities such as "VH1 Save the Music Foundation" & "To Write Love on Her Arms." These two charities in particular helped me not only give back to the music world, but to helping others who have it hard. Besides an education, I also feel it's important for a teacher to be pure hearted.

Chicago Hip-Hip Conglomerate Sidewalk Chalk Performs at the Shadow
In 1987, Philadelphia based hip-hop group The Roots formed, changing the face of hip-hop forever. Twenty-five years later, a new group from Chicago going by the name Sidewalk Chalk is attempting to follow in their footsteps.
Formed in 2008 after meeting at Columbia College in downtown Chicago, this eclectic group led by front-man MC K'neqta Dots and vocalist S-Star is deep rooted in a variety of musical genres ranging from jazz to soul to hip-hop.
All together, the group consists of eight members – MC, vocals, keys, drums, bass, trombone and trumpet – their instrumental talent allowing them to appeal to a much wider audience; award winning dancer Jumaane Taylor also contributes to the group, giving them a truly unique performance as both a song and dance group.
Although the band's members come from all walks of life, one common thread ties them together: music. Fresh off the release of their debut album "Corner Store" released this past March with help from Greg Mangers (a contributor on Lupe Fiasco's "The Cool"), the group has put on shows across the country, including opening act performances for the critically acclaimed De La Soul and Queens, NY up-and-comer Action Bronson.
As Sidewalk Chalk's reputation continues to grow, the group has started make a name for themselves. Receiving the award for "Best Hip-Hop Act in Chicago 2010" by the Chicago Reader, Sidewalk Chalk has since been featured on 2dopeboyz, Guest of a Guest Los Angeles, and CBS News Online. Their hard work even earned them a performance with their predecessor ?uestLove of the Roots as this unique group continues to receive further accolades and awe crowds everywhere.
Don't miss your chance to see this unique hip-hop act July 5th at the Shadow Lounge. Doors open at 8:30p, the show runs from 9pm-12pm. Tickets are $7 for the 18+ performance which will also feature opening acts Dream Pac and Crystal Seth.
More information on Sidewalk Chalk is available at her website www.sidewalk-chalk.com

Secretary of State State Board of Elections Certifies Vote Totals from Primary Election
Today, the State Board of Elections certified vote totals from the May 22nd Primary Election and issued certificates of nomination to candidates who received the highest number of votes in the Primary. Detailed results from the election are available at www.elect.ky.gov.
13.8 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the Primary. Alison Lundergan Grimes, Secretary of State and Chief Election Official, said, "Although turnout was much lower than I would hope to see, I believe our efforts to educate and motivate voters to participate were successful, and turnout was higher than anticipated." Grimes also noted that turnout tended to be higher in counties where local elections – particularly for circuit clerk – were on the ballot. Of the 25 counties in which turnout exceeded 20 percent, the office of circuit clerk was on the ballot in 21.
"I am grateful to all of the officials and citizens who worked hard to ensure the integrity of the May Primary," said Grimes. "I look forward to continuing these partnerships on the state and local levels as we prepare for the General Election on November 6th."

One thing you will notice from the pictures in this post is that the succulents and cacti that didn't perish (for one reason or another) are raging out of control! Out of control as in plants gone rogue! Plants gone rogue as in they've grown and are growing like crazzzzzy! I've said this before, but nature never ceases to amaze me so I say it again! Now that it has been nearly two years since I started gardening, I've seen plants go through pretty phases and ugly phases throughout the year, it's a cycle. I've noticed patterns in so many of my plants, specifically the succulents, which I find to be more sensitive. I've learned which succulents and cacti grow faster, propagate better and can survive lots of rain and sun, as well as which ones don't. Like I said, learn as you go...
So, apart from the account of all my plant deaths and pests, upcoming posts will include newly filled planters such as two of those four mini strawberry pot planters I bought at Lowe's a while back (show in this post) and others. Cactus Corner is long overdue for an update, wait until you see it, it's radically different - as in a whole separate mess of awesomeness combined with trial and error. Additionally, I have a post planned for the large blue strawberry pot planter that I filled with succulents and cactus as a gift for Mother's Day (first seen in this post). All I can say is, that thing is amazing!! It's one of the best planters I've ever made! An update on many of the plants in my mother's garden is also in order, there's tons going on there!
I'll get workin' on those other update posts, in the meantime I hope you enjoy this one! Have a great day!

These succulents have changed in color, back in April and July they were more purple....
These spiky guys just keep growin' and growin! I think they're fantastic! The photographs in this post show just how sexy the Alluaudia procera a.k.a. Madagascan Ocotillo is up close!
Get a load of this Pencil Cactus - Euphorbia tirucalli! I am amazed at its growth, it's like the Hulk, check out how teeny tiny it was back in April 2010 when my mother first gave it to me!
This thing is Hulk #2 - Hulk Aloe! Just take a look at how much it has grown since this February post!
Succulents are freakin' amazing! :)
The various shades of color throughout the leaves and the pinkish red outline of these Kalanchoes is such perfection!
This succulent has great colors and texture, I believe it's either Kalanchoe tomentosa a.k.a. Golden Girl or Kalanchoe Tomentosa cv a.k.a. Chocolate Soldier...
I love this tubular coral looking Jade plant!

If there's one thing I learned from hearing "Oklahoma" eight million times it's that the cowboys and the farmers should be friends. We're short of cowboys and growing short of farmers around these parts. Which is all the more reason to help those farmers we've got left.
It's really not the fault of our farmers that they're forced to consider selling or leasing their land to others. For solar farms or real estate developments. We've allowed the corporatization of farming to overtake the small farms that for so many years were a critical part of life in New England. In the 40 years I've been here I've seen one small dairy farm after another disappear.
My conservative friends never tire of proclaiming the evils of government, and the army of corrupt bureaucrats who over- and incompetently regulate us. Yet they have remained silent as corporations gained one unfair advantage after another with lower taxes, taxes they don't pay, and enormous government subsidies. Real and fair competition, the bedrock of Adam Smith's theory of capitalism, has long disappeared.

For a robust, sweet-tart sangria recipe, we started with cheap red wine, which actually makes a better sangria than the expensive stuff. We experimented with untold varieties of fruit to put in our sangria recipe and finally concluded that simpler is better. We preferred the straightforward tang of citrus in the form of oranges and lemons and we discovered that the zest and pith as well as the fruit itself make an important contribution to flavor. Orange liqueur is standard in recipes for sangria, and after experimenting we found that here, as with the wine, cheaper was just fine, this time in the form of triple sec.
The longer sangria sits before drinking, the more smooth and mellow it will taste. A full day is best, but if that's impossible, give it an absolute minimum of two hours to sit. Use large, heavy, juicy oranges and lemons for the best flavor. Doubling or tripling the recipe is fine, but you'll have to switch to a large punch bowl in place of the pitcher. An inexpensive Merlot is the best choice for this recipe.
Dear Friend,

Body Lift: Q&A
Ask a QuestionI Lost 100Lbs Through Exercise, Now I Have Extra Skin and Some Stubborn Bit of Fat That Just Won't Go! What Should I Do? (photo)
Long version: I wanted to join the USMC, but I was 100 lbs over weight. 300 lbs shipping weight was 206. Well, now that I've been in a while, my commands started hassling me because I tend to naturally sit a little heavier than my "max weight" the USMC says I can weigh. I'm in decent shape, I just have unsightly extra skin (will include pics), and its causing me a lot of stress and grief/worry. What procedures do you think would be best for my situation?

Published: May 18
My son is 5 years old and has been healthy, and has been developing at a normal rate. On mother's day at 2 am my brother heard a loud thud. He went upstairs and found my son on the floor having a seizure. There was vomit on the bed and my son was on the floor. It lasted 15 minutes. It was so scary. He was jerking very violently, and his eyes were rolling in the back of his head. He had an mri ,an eeg ,they did a spinal tap. Nothing was found. He did not have a temperature. It was horrible. I hope it never happens again. No one should have to see their child like that. Related Reading: seizure | spinal tap

Elijah was 3 years old in January Last October, he started having seizures where his body just tensed up and he would slobber and his eyes fixed. Lasting only a minute. Then in November, I woke up at 3 am and he was having full blown seizure that lasted more than 15 minutes. His whole body jerked. He went to ER both times. He was put on Tegretol, 8 mls every 12 hours. He had a couple of small seizures until last week. He started having them again. Staring and fixed. He was airlifted to a hospital and spent Easter weekend there, from Saturday until Monday. The neurologist there changed his medications to Carbatrol 200 miligrams ER. (2 times a day.) One sign is that he sleeps late in the morning. He is usually up around 8:30 and the last couple of times it happened, he has slept till after 10am. He has had an EEG and an MRI, both were normal. Has also had a spinal tap. Normal too. Thanks for any help God.

My 16 month old daughter had been up for about 20 minutes one morning when she started staring off into space. At that point she was still "functional" in every other way. Then she stopped walking and just sat, so I carried her around with me. She started mildly shaking like she was cold or had a fever so I took her temperature and put at sweater on her. About 45 minutes of this (I thought she just had an upset stomach or something) we got in the car to head toward town. On the drive she started breathing very shallowly and would stop breathing for longer and longer periods of time. Her head lolled to the side and her tongue went from pushing spit out of her mouth in a rhythmic motion to just hanging out the side of her mouth and her eyes rolled back in her head. We called 911 and met them on the side of the freeway with everything set up and ready to go. By that point she wasn't breathing at ALL and was quite blue. They shot her full of anti-seizure medication and put a breathing mask on her. She didn't breathe on her own for 20 minutes and it took another shot of the anti-seizure medication in the ER to finally kick her out of the seizure and get her to start breathing again. All in all, the seizure lasted for over two hours and only stopped with medication. The EMTs said she would have died had we tried to get to the hospital on our own (and not met them on the side of the freeway). Very scary!! After the seizure she was drowsy from the drugs, but after that wore off she was quite 'normal' again. We pray this never happens again! Related Reading: fever

My grandson was playing then all of a sudden, he fell to the floor. His eyes were rolling and his body was jerking. He then stopped moving and went very stiff then stopped breathing. My daudhter-in-law then gave him mouth-to-mouth which revived him. He was rushed to hospital via ambulance afterwards.
Comment from: Broken hearted dad., 13-18 Male
Published: April 17
My son is 16 years old. While at urgent care with our daughter for a broken wrist, he suddenly fell backward onto the floor. He hit his head on the floor, which sounded like a gun going off. As I cradled his head in my hand I started to check his pupils when I saw his eyes rolled up and to the left. He then began to foam at the mouth and his mouth was drawn to the left. After screaming for a doctor, I noticed he had started to convulse. His arms had drawn up into his chest his hands were disfigured and he had stopped breathing. His face and lips turned blue. The doctor was asking me questions about possible injuries which he had none. As I started to do CPR he began to breathe on his own. All tests came back normal and we are awaiting the neurologist appointment. I pray that no parent should ever see their child in that situation.

My son started having his first episode of seizure when he was nine years old in 2009 just when he is about to sleep at night and lasted for about 5 minutes. His limbs went stiff, eyes rolled to the back and lots of fluid came out of his mouth. He started crying when he regained consciousness but was not responsive to our questions or calling. We took him to the ER where the doctor told us that he would outgrow his seizures.

Is that a hat or a wig? This is the usual question Kristen gets asked. He will walk into a shopping centre and people will start staring at him and whispering. Now and then he will get the odd admirer come up to him and ask if he is famous. Or he will be walking down the street in a random town and all of a sudden someone will shout FAMO! This guy has just turned pro and has quite a huge following already, mostly female though.
Kristen will mess with you all day. He has this sense of humour that just sucks you in and the jokes and stupidity just keep flowing. Besides all the mind games and humour he does find time to skate. Having travelled with his family playing drums for most of his life, Kristen picked up a skateboard at the age of 10 which consumed every waking hour since.
His fluid style and personality just make you want to see more of this kid!

The Casual Restaurant Critic
The Casual Restaurant Critic is an idea that got underway more or less around the same time that the NotTheNews idea began.
The Critic gets a lot of flack for trashing the occasional restaurant that just doesn't cut it. Usually it's the service, sometimes it's the food and occasionally something else. Funnily enough, a lot of the trashed restaurants are usually out of business within a year or two, proving that the Casual Restaurant Critic is not that far off in assessing their culinary merit.
There are, of course, some gems in Merida that one should not miss and the Critic points those out as well so if you are local and are getting your fustan in a twist, relax. It's just one persons' opinion and if you really like the place that the Critic has just trashed, go eat there daily to keep them in business!
All posts are combined on this new blog. The regular "Life in Merida" posts together with the Critic's reviews. In order to make it easier to get to the Casual Restaurant Critic's reviews, they have been labeled or categorized as such. If you click on the Casual Restaurant Critic category, all the critiques should show up. If not, let me know. At the bottom of the main or home page, you will find 'categories' and if you click on the Casual Restaurant Critic category, those posts made by the cantankerous Critic will appear.
At the moment, I am thinking about (and have already done a few) moving all the older posts from the previous blog here, the Critic will continue to post both to the old blog and this one and after a while, according to reader preferences, the old one will either be eliminated or not.

Hey Wiliam!
First of all I would like to congratulate you on your blog. I love seeing people reaching out and offering advice and guidance to others, especially if using the internet as a medium. Also, as an ex-pat myself, I find your blogs not only entertaining, but helpful as well… and I appreciate your point of view as a "neurotic foreigner"!
I am from Atlanta, Georgia but am now living in Monterrey working for a new start-up called Conekta (http://conekta.mx). It's a platform for recommendations of the best businesses in all of the cities in Mexico, including restaurants of course. Conekta was founded by a group of engineers from the University of Waterloo and is supported by investors in San Francisco (www.mexican.vc).

I would like to offer you an elite user account in return for making recommendations on our page. An elite account means that your reviews will be the first to appear on a business' page in addition to having a link to your blog or web page on all of your comments. Also, you would have a Conekta profile with your information and a title below your name of something like "Critico Profesional de Restaurantes".

Todd Rundgren
April 13, 2012 9:00 AM
Todd Rundgren recently sat down at the Rolling Stone studio to talk about his deep love for the music of the late songwriter Laura Nyro. "Her having such a great influence on me is probably one of the reasons why people think I have a sophisticated sensibility about writing songs, and how the lyrics should impact and mesh with melodies," Rundgren says. The rocker goes on to tell the story of how he came to work with Nyro and had to turn down an offer to be her band leader.

Research Statement
My major research interests are related to the social and cultural processes of schooling and literacy, including:
+ethnographies of childhood and, more broadly, of the experiential qualities of contemporary schooling for all participants
+the development of childhood cultures, especially the role of popular culture in that development, with a particular interest in city kids
+the development and use of written language in contemporary childhoods and cross-culturally
+the politics of identity and language in school, including the role of English variants, like African American Language
My current research centers on the intersection of literacy and childhoods. The latter is a relatively new interdisciplinary field which focuses on both how societies conceive of and arrange for "childhoods" and, also, on how children themselves act as agents in the construction of their own childhoods. I have examined institutional expectations of the proper child prepared for and learning written language (through a study of what is considered "basic" and, also, "appropriate" in content) and children's expectations for each others' use of written language. The children's actions involve use of place-based resources (like environmental print on frequented neighborhood sites) and appealing and shared knowledge based on media (e.g., movies, television, radio). Briefly, then, the work, composed of two interrelated projects in different sites, entails a study of the ideological foundation of "basics" curricula (i.e., ideologies of language and of appropriate childhoods), their classroom enactments, and their interpretation by young, marginalized children (i.e., marginalized in the institution and society by class, race, and language).

Analytics on cloud is the emerging trend that combines services and enables enterprises to move their BI, data warehousing and OLAP workload over the cloud platform. The adoption of cloud BI or business analytics enables enterprises to collect, access, monitor and share key performance indicators virtually, through any mobile device. Cloud BI utilizes the software-as-a-service (SaaS) licensing model and it is also based on a pay-as-you use model, which doesn't need software and hardware installations. These services are easily scalable, allowing enterprises to include anyone with a authentic email ID in their BI solution.
The report also draws the competitive landscape of the cloud based business analytics market, providing an in-depth comparative analysis of the technological and marketing strategies that the key players are adopting in order to gain an edge over their competitors. Some of the major players in this market are IBM, HP, Oracle, Birst, Kognitio, Adaptive Planning, BIME, Cloud9 Analytics, GoodData, Google, Host Analytics and Microsoft.

At noon London time on July 12, 2012, Britain will slip silently into a new era of radio history.
At the top of the hour, the BBC World Service - once the voice of the British empire - will transmit its last radio news bulletin from its imposing home, Bush House in central London.
For more than 70 years the art-deco building was the beating heart of the British Broadcasting Corporation's overseas service and a bastion of press freedom around the world.
From here King George V addressed the Empire in 1932, Charles de Gaulle defied the Nazis, and legions of emigres sent news in dozens of languages to the unmistakeable introductory strains of Lilliburlero, its signature tune.

University Heights Tool Library offers alternative for residents
blog by Kathryn Przybyla • September 27, 2012 @ 11:06am
In need of a weed whacker, but not interested in buying your own?
The University Heights Tool Library has solved that problem for residents who want to tackle home and community projects with borrowed supplies.
For an annual $10 fee, members can finally finish up their to-do list of painting rooms, sanding down doors and other projects with hammers, power tools and many additional items. Currently, the library has over 150 members and is free to join for students and veterans. This would be a great organization for UB students to get involved with, since many are residents of the University Heights area.
Businesses who are also interested in joining the Tool Library can join for an annual $100 fee.
According to the Tool Library,
Situated in North Buffalo and bordering UB's South Campus, the highly walkable, diverse and affordable neighborhood of the University Heights is a dynamic and vibrant neighborhood that has seen incredible changes over its lifetime. The Tool Library's mission is to facilitate grassroots reinvestment in neighborhoods such as these by empowering residents to affect the positive change they would like to see in their community.
The organization is always accepting donations from people who may have a few extra tools lying around the basement or garage. If you are interested in donating, feel free to contact the Tool Library for more information.

Bi-Lo annouced that, through April 30, it will host its fourth annual Paws "Feed the Love" campaign.
Anthea Jones has assumed the role of president at Bi-Lo. He will continue to serve as SVP operations.
CINCINNATI — KSS Retail, a division of Dunnhumby, announced that Bi-Lo Holding, the Jacksonville, Fla.-based parent company of Bi-Lo and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, has extended its business relationship with KSS Retail to include price modeling and optimization services for the Winn-Dixie banner.
Bi-Lo noted last week that three of its locations along the South Carolina coastline had been refreshed in March.
Winn-Dixie said Friday that its CEO Peter Lynch will step down, as the supermarket chain merges with Bi-Lo LLC. Current Bi-Lo chairman Randall Onstead will replace Lynch as CEO.
BI-LO and Winn-Dixie Stores on Monday announced that the companies will merge to create an organization of approximately 690 grocery stores and 63,000 employees in eight states throughout the Southeastern United States.
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Bi-Lo has developed and launched its own nutritional tagging system that identifies healthful attributes in particular foods.
The retailer said the system features a wide range of categories established by Bi-Lo's registered dietitian, Monica Amburn. Amburn said the system allows customers to create positive attitudes about healthy eating.
The tags highlight such benefits as "low sodium" or "an excellent source of vitamin C," as well as gluten-free and organic products.

En español | If you have a hard time finding music you love, or you miss the days when radio turned you on to great new sounds — we've got a radio player for you. Welcome to AARP Internet Radio, where you'll find music you want to hear, right here on your computer.
Our new radio player has been programmed with 18 music stations specifically for AARP.org visitors. Whatever your taste — rock, R&B, country, jazz, classical, Latin, gospel — there's a station for you, full of classics, favorites and handpicked fresh sounds. It's easy to use and it's free. Plus there's a channel of AARP Radio broadasts to check out.
How to Start. Launch the player using the link above, or by clicking on "Listen Now" in the header at the top of the music pages or by clicking on "Listen" in the bar at the top of any page. The player will open and you will see the first few stations displayed on the screen. If you want to view more station choices, click on the scroll just below the station descriptions and move it to the right. When you find the station you want to listen to, click on the play button in the middle of the album cover. The first song you hear will be from that album.
Continue for as Long as You Like. Once you start listening to a channel, you can get back to enjoying the AARP website, checking email or anything else you were doing on your computer. Your chosen station will keep playing. If you need to get up or take a break, but don't want to miss the song that's playing, you can pause it and press play again when you're ready. If you don't like a song, you can skip it and go to the next one. You can skip up to six times in an hour.
To Change Stations. Click on the Stations tab at the top of the player, and you'll get back to the display you started with — and your song will keep playing until you've chosen another station. There's also an Artist Bio tab, if you want to get more information about the artist you're listening to.
We hope you'll try AARP Internet Radio and find a new favorite station — or two or three. We built the stations and chose the music with our visitors and members in mind; we want you to find the music you like whenever you want, and listen to it as often as you'd like, for as long as you like.

Apprehensive Films goes Italian in this repackaging of two prior releases from the California-based company.
First up is Black Cobra Woman, a.k.a. Eva Nera from infamous sleaze director Joe D'amato, a 1976 sexploitation obscurity which plays to the hilt star (and frequent D'amato collaborator) Laura Gemser's exotic sexuality. This element would be exploited further with the director's legendary "Emanuelle" series of films throughout the late seventies, as D'amato (born: Aristide Massaccesi in 1936) and Gemser further mined the depths of sexual excess in the cinematic world.
Eva Nera, however, is really more of a sexed-up drama than anything truly sleazy or depraved, dealing primarily with Gemser's character of Eva as a sort of snake charming opportunist, eager to take advantage of co-star Jack Palance and his offer of financial freedom in exchange for platonic companionship.
Meanwhile, the character of Palance's brother Jules-played by Gemser's real life husband Gabriele Tinti-is who serves as the film's real villain, a shady and untrustworthy cad who co-operates his father's business with Palance. Tinti's portrayal of Jules as a sexually insatiable, borderline sociopath is what eventually pushes Black Cobra Woman from a travel tour of Hong Kong into something which at least passes for a competent story.
Although it's true that the lion's share of Black Cobra Woman is profoundly boring, D'amato's penchant for smart cinematography, lovely scenery and that ever-present atmosphere of deviance-including two instances of real life animal violence-attempts to assist in lifting the film's latter act into a set-up which at least stands up to the director's lesser Emanuelle efforts. Yet the fact that Apprehensive's print of this film is so beat up and damaged hurts the case of Black Cobra Woman even more, resulting in a viewing experience which ultimately proves trying for the viewer to finish with any satisfying success.
Luckily, Apprehensive fares a bit better on this disc's other side, in the form of director Massimo Dallamano's fantastic Italian crime film, Super Bitch. The film-which is also known under the titles Mafia Junction and Si puo essere piu bastardi dell'inspettore Cliff?-falls under the country's poliziotteschi genre of cinematic efforts which were spawned in the wake of such American successes as Dirty Harry and The French Connection.
As such, the Italian take on the genre features an excess of violence and depravity not imagined even in their Stateside counterparts, with Dallamano's effort serving as a fine example of the genre at its action packed best. Dallamano's film is a stylized and violent ode to the tawdry cop tales of the 1970s, complete with bad behavior and double crosses, memorable villains and fractured heroes. Nearly every aspect of the classic poliziotteschi is represented here within Dallamano's expert direction, Jack Hildyard's established cinematography, the funky score of Riz Ortolani and the excellent performances captured by the cast.
Apprehensive's version of Super Bitch is far superior to Black Cobra Woman when it comes to its quality of presentation, with the disc's full screen print looking just fine and watchable, although snipped a bit on the sides in terms of aspect ratio. The real issue here is that the solid cult video company Arrow Video in the U.K. has already released the definitive version of this film on video late last year on a region free DVD, featuring a new widescreen transfer in the proper ratio, dual language options and plenty of extras.
Meanwhile, Apprehensive's issue of Super Bitch is armed only with the English dub of the film, which, combined with the lesser print and lack of extras, really only serves a purpose for Stateside fans who don't want to either a) seek out the Shameless version or b) pay an import price when they do...which leaves Apprehensive's version as an admittedly serviceable standby.

Marina Abramovic the Artist is Present
By Dogwoof
Seductive, fearless, and outrageous, Marina Abramović has been
redefining what art is for nearly 40 years. Using her own body as a
vehicle, pushing herself beyond her limits – and at times risking her
life in the process – she creates performances that challenge, shock,
and move us. Marina Abramović the Artist is Present follows the artist
as she prepares for what may be the most important moment of her life: a
major new retrospective of her work, taking place at The Museum of
Modern Art. To be given a retrospective at one of the world's premier
museums is the most exhilarating sort of milestone. For Marina, it is
far more: it is the chance to finally silence the question she has been
hearing over and over again for four decades: "But why is this art?"
