absolutely my favorite shoe
I was sold on these for their general comfort, but my recent foot surgery more than confirmed this: these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I have been wearing them daily for the last 3 months. For short and wide feet, they are the best.
Like, but not as much as Kaleb's
My husband purchased a pair of Kaleb's from a discount store over the summer and absolutely loved them. We did not realize that shoe was not the Santa Cruz prior to ordering them, as they look the same from the exterior. The inside of the Kaleb has a canvas lining as opposed to the Santa Cruz "croc" lining. He still prefers the Kaleb, but does like the Santa Cruz with socks and jeans..."winter look".

Judge rules in favor of UW/Valley Med alliance; appeal is possible
By DEAN RADFORD
Renton Reporter Editor
December 28, 2012 · Updated 3:19 PM
A King County Superior Court judge late Friday morning dismissed a lawsuit challenging the validity of the strategic alliance between UW Medicine and Valley Medical Center.
Judge Michael Hayden listened to oral arguments for about 45 minutes before ruling that the alliance between two public entities is permitted under state law. Attorneys for both sides had already submitted written briefs for him to consider.
Hayden alluded to the possibility of an appeal; the lawsuit was brought by the Public Hospital District No. 1 commission.
Dr. Paul Joos, the commission chairman, declined to comment on the ruling, but he said the commission would discuss whether to appeal the ruling at its January meeting. Joos was elected to the commission after the alliance was approved in a 3-2 vote.
Phil Talmadge, a former state legislator and former state Supreme Court justice who argued the case for the hospital district, indicated in an interview that he would recommend the commission appeal directly to the state Supreme Court.
The hospital district's lawsuit maintained the elected district commissioners could not delegate their legislative responsibilities for a public institution to unelected decision makers.
However, the UW Medicine attorney, Lou Peterson, argued the alliance is permitted under state law.

Does anyone know how to use a separate
parameter for the depth axis?
Many thanks.
Does anyone know how to use a separate
parameter for the depth axis?
Many thanks.
No can do (unless there's some specific hardware that supports it, like the PS2, and exposes it in an extension, which I think none does)
You may wish to look into TexGen in EYE_LINEAR space to emulate the effect you're looking for.
"If you can't afford to do something right,
you'd better make sure you can afford to do it wrong!"
Too bad though..
Must be a way to get to it, I simpy want to use 3d textures mipmapped and filtered in w/h but unmipped / GL_NEAREST in depth.
Wish things were a little more programmable.
Hi again. Re-activating an old post of mine.
I should probably dig into the specs myself but I can not wait to find out: Could this be done using fragment programs? Im sure it will be easy with GL 2. It would mean that instead of baking a big texture cake, and loosing tex tiling feature, we bind a 3D texture and switch texture using the 3rd (s)texcoord. All textures have to be same size though. This is also very usable for possible multi-layered depth shadow maps / projected soft-shadows.
[This message has been edited by fritzlang (edited 12-07-2002).]
Yes, you can put whatever you want into the "r" coordinte using a fragment program. Just like you can put z into "r" using texgen. However, that doesn't help you, because you will still suffer the filtering problem if you want to use mip mapping or anisotropy. The filtering is implicitly derived from your sampling instruction in the ARB_fragment_program spec.
"If you can't afford to do something right,
you'd better make sure you can afford to do it wrong!"
Thanks again!
So what you are saying is that fragment progams does not expose this type of
control, that after all the actual
function of filtering / mipmap is in the driver, making the effect of the code
below impossible?
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP_SGIS,
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,
[This message has been edited by fritzlang (edited 12-07-2002).]
Filtering is done during rasterization. If minification is required, then the state you setup is used. Ditto for magnification.
It's not done per texture coordinate.
This case could be reduced do the 2D version where some rows require linear filtering, some require mipmaping, some nearest. How exactly would you do this?
Sig: http://glhlib.sourceforge.net
an open source GLU replacement library. Much more modern than GLU.
float matrix[16], inverse_matrix[16];
glhTranslatef2(matrix, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0);
glhRotateAboutXf2(matrix, angleInRadians);
glhScalef2(matrix, 1.0, 1.0, -1.0);
glhQuickInvertMatrixf2(matrix, inverse_matrix);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation1, 1, FALSE, matrix);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation2, 1, FALSE, inverse_matrix);
Fragment programs don't change the way regular OpenGL texturing filtering works, but it is possible to code your own filters using fragment programs. In your example, you could do 8 lookups into your 3D texture (using nearest filtering), and then do the interpolation however you like using a few lerp instructions.
Bicubic filtering, summed area tables and other interesting filtering schemes are all possible in a similar way.
Bear in mind this is will be considerably slower than a normal texture lookup since you're not taking advantage of the bilinear filtering hardware.
Make sure your texture coordinates on the 'unfiltered axis' are setup in a way that nullifies the effects of linear filtering.
Ie the r texture coordinates should satisfy
r=n*1.0/(texture_depth) + 0.5/(texture_depth)
where n is a whole number.
Eg for a 3D texture with depth of 256, the r coordinate should be one of these
1/512, 3/512, 5/512, 7/512 ...
and so on.
This will not disable the filtering of course, you'll still take the performance hit of the additional texel fetch. But the visual result should be what you want (if I didn't make any blatant mistake).
[QUOTE]Originally posted by V-man:
[B]Filtering is done during rasterization. If minification is required, then the state you setup is used. Ditto for magnification.
It's not done per texture coordinate.
I realise all this. My point was to use
a 3D texture as an array of 2D ones, the 3rd
coordinate just index into a 2D texture and "selects" it. Hence no filter and mipmap in the 3rd axis.
But I realize that getting into pixel programs, I sure loose the speed benefit which was the whole point.
I wanted to minimize texture bindings, being able to have texture id's in a vertex array and being able to use tiling. This way one
does not have to sort the render cue by material.

Eagles' Babin has big plans for Steelers' Ben
PHILADELPHIA — Jason Babin remembers putting Ben Roethlisberger on his back four times in a Mid-American Conference game.
That was 11 years ago when Babin was setting sacks records with Western Michigan and Roethlisberger was on the verge of blowing up school and conference passing marks at Miami of Ohio.
They can renew their acquaintance Sunday when Babin and the Eagles take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.
"I think that was one of his first games," Babin said. "He's a big kid. I've seen him break a lot of sacks, keep the ball alive and throw the ball and just make plays. I think with our defense firing on all cylinders this could be an exciting game Sunday."
They don't call Roethlisberger Big Ben for nothing. The obvious reason is he's 6-5, 240 pounds. Looming larger yet are those two Super Bowl championship rings he's earned with the Steelers.
This year has been challenging for Roethlisberger. He's been sacked nine times in three games. The Steelers have lost road games to the Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders, of all teams.
Sandwiched between those struggles was a 27-10 demolition of the New York Jets at the Big Ketchup facility, where head coach Mike Tomlin is 9-1 against NFC teams.
While the Steelers don't look a lot like the powerhouses of years past, they're coming off a bye week, enabling them to get healthier.
Tomlin said he expects to welcome back to the lineup this week three of his top players in safety Troy Polamalu (calf), outside linebacker James Harrison (knee) and running back Rashard Mendenhall (knee).
Even if Mendenhall isn't all the way back from ACL surgery, he can't help but improve what's been an anemic ground game. The Steelers are averaging just 2.6 yards per rush. Continued...
"He's a very good runner," Babin said. "But the thing about our defense is we're fast and we swarm tackle. I think they're looking forward to it. I'm sure they want him to be healthy. They don't want an 80 percent Mendenhall. They want a 100 percent Mendenhall."
Defense and Steelers go together the way hot goes with cold.
Babin didn't grow up on the Steel Curtain. He was a fan of the Detroit Lions and Barry Sanders, but Babin has watched vintage film of the Steelers.
"They brought it," Babin said. "They had intensity and they had passion. Back then, when the defense was stacked like that, it was definitely fun to watch."
If the Eagles play defense the way they have in their first four games, they'll add to their growing list of believers this weekend. It doesn't get any better than playing lights-out D in Pittsburgh.
"We want to make a statement every Sunday," Babin said. "Whether we're playing the Steelers, the Giants or Jacksonville, it doesn't matter to us. We're going to go out there and we're going to throw our best stuff. We're going to throw our heat early and often."
Babin leads the Eagles with 2½ sacks. He's on a pace for 10 sacks, well below the 18 he put up last year.
Of course, it only takes one big game to get back on track.
Or in the case of Babin, one Big Ben game.

Kate Upton fails to bundle up
Supermodels always insist their jobs are more difficult and less glamorous than they appear, but when Kate Upton said it this time, she could back it up.
"It takes a certain person to be able to feel comfortable in front of a camera, especially in a vulnerable state such as freezing in Antarctica,'' she said by phone on a publicity tour for her second Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover.

Orbital Sciences Corp (ORB) Grows Satellite and Space-Cargo Business Organically
May 24, 2013Orbital Sciences Corp (ORB) manufactures satellites and launches rockets in the defense industry and provides NASA with much-needed services, and the company displays encouraging financial metrics at a time when interest in space travel is on the rise, says Michael F. Ciarmoli, Vice President and Equity Research Analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. "The one top pick we have on the defense side is 'buy'-rated Orbital Sciences, a name that's performed very well year to date. They are a rocket-launch provider and a satellite manufacturer, one of the better organic stories in the defense sector, and also a key provider to NASA for its cargo-delivery services...
Precision Castparts Corp. (PCP) Largely Exposed to Boeing 787 Manufacturing
May 24, 2013Precision Castparts Corp. (PCP) has large exposure to the continuing manufacturing of Boeing 787 aircraft, with the fundamentals and demand remaining largely intact despite global macroeconomic concerns, says Michael F. Ciarmoli, Vice President and Equity Research Analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. "We also recently upgraded Precision Castparts to 'buy,' probably one of the higher-quality management teams, one of the more unique and differentiated business models in the sector. It's a larger-cap name, $27 billion market cap, but when we're looking at this mix of which companies are leveraged to the OE production cycle, we really do favor Precision Castparts' end-market profile: A lot of exposure to the Boeing 787, roughly $12 million of content, so as that platform begins to ramp up to 10 per month in the latter portion of 2013 and into 2014, we see PCP being a big beneficiary," Ciarmoli said...
QUALCOMM, Inc. (QCOM) Benefits from Positive ASP Trend, Collects Royalties on 3G, 4G Smartphones
May 24, 2013QUALCOMM, Inc. (QCOM) is seeing opportunities in the smartphone space as it collects royalties on all 3G and 4G smartphones, based on application service providers that are still a positive trend in the segment, says Ian Ing, Vice President and Senior Analyst at Lazard Capital Markets. "[QUALCOMM sells] both chipsets as well as collect royalties on all 3G, 4G smartphones that are being sold. I think the opportunity is still being underestimated.

Midtier parts do really well in things like wireless base station radio cards, because they have lower cost, low power and good-enough performance, and that's attractive for the applications right now," Ing said...
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Treatment in Phase III Trials: Cyclacel (CYCC) CEO and CFO Buy Stock
May 23, 2013There have been several highly successful biotech companies formed from the patent libraries of universities and from research institutes. Often these are private companies owned by the clinical researchers and the institutions that fund them, but occasionally these companies are registered in the public markets and are available for general investment. Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals (CYCC) was formed in 1997 to exploit several biotech innovations developed at the University of Dundee. In an interview from September of last year in The Wall Street Transcript, Spiro Rombotis, President and CEO of Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, stated that, "Our lead drug, sapacitabine, is now in a pivotal Phase III trial for acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, a disease of mostly elderly people… sapacitabine offers to patients with AML … the first drug in its class to be given by mouth...

The movie ontology MO aims to provide a controlled vocabulary to semantically describe movie related concepts such as Movie, Genre, Director, Actor and individuals such as "Ice Age", "Drama", "Steven Spielberg" or "Johnny Depp". The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is used to specify the MO ontology. Several other ontologies that are provided in the Linked Data cloud are considered and integrated to highly couple the MO ontology with the Linked Data cloud to take advantage of synergy effects.
The movie ontology MO was motivated by the fact that most movie ontologies mainly focuses on concepts and the semantic relations among those concepts. In addition, existing movie ontologies define individuals or instances of a concept superficially. We think that a semantic movie ontology should provide on one hand concept hierarchies (e.g. for movie categorization and navigation purposes) and a sufficient set of individuals that can be used to describe movies. This enables user-friendly presentation of movie descriptions in the appropriate detail and the ability to describe movies taking advantage of the rich selection of the controlled vocabulary in MO. Therefore, we attempt to provide amongst other things in-depth concepts and individuals especially for genre types.
MO is currently developed, adapted and maintained by the Department of Informatics at the University of Zurich.

Your Guide to Saving Money
Follow these six straightforward steps to achieve a lifetime of financial goals, from paying off credit cards to retiring to Florida (or the carefree paradise of your choice).
How to Get Started
Does this sound familiar? You, wide awake at 2 a.m.: I'll never save enough to send the kids to college. At 3:45: Or to pay off the house. At 5:15: And, good grief, what about retirement?! I'll have to eat cat food! Whether you've saved a lot or saved zip, money worries don't have to keep you up at night—just follow this easy strategy, which tells you what to save for first and second (and why). If you're a novice, start at the beginning. But if you've already put money aside, then you've probably knocked off a step or two here, so start reading at the point that applies to you.

A number of people have written to say that their lives are changing
in subtle, yet quite dramatic ways.
One of the aspects is how they find themselves being with people,
and how people are being with them.
In seeing people, and themselves more clearly, many things
are becoming more obvious.
To make this a little more clear, imagine that you go into a working class
pub later in the evening when the occupants have drunk a lot of alcohol.
Their level of awareness is pretty obvious isn't it - to you, but not to
So as you start to awaken, you begin to see people and their behaviour
more clearly.And your own behaviour in response to their behaviour.
(Embarrassing eh.)
One thing to consider is that most of our life is devoted to attempting
to avoid the moment, just as it is - so in order to do that
we are continuously trying to amuse ourselves. Escape through amusement.
What this most often means, in regard to people is, we compromise.
We spend time with people who are equally trying to avoid the moment -
in any way possible, so no great depth is touched.
As you start to wake up you start to become aware of this process,
get embarrassed, and then no longer feel to continue with this unconscious
Then something else happens.
As you are no longer attempting to avoid the moment so much,
each moment becomes more satisfying, so you do not feel the need
to compromise.
In this state a stillness happens and you find that you no longer need to
'do' connecting with people. In fact, unless the person reaches out to you,
you have no motivation to connect with them.
So it becomes obvious - that you respond equally
to the way people reach out to you. Lovely.
Happy responding ...

Gordon Wasson's The Wondrous Mushroom: Mycolatry in Mesoamerica has just been issued by City Lights Books. Early in his career, Wasson was Vice-President of J. P. Morgan but later became the 'father of ethnomycology', dedicating his life to the study of psychoactive mushrooms in religion, culture, and history. In The Wondrous Mushroom he examines mushroom use in Mesoamerica, going over the evidence that he had first found thirty years before and introducing new information that had surfaced in the meantime. In many respects, the book is a knowledge map that seeks to draw not only the directions of research and their fungi-laced content and conclusions, but also go a step beyond and speculate on further possibilities.

Painful menstrual periods (also called dysmenorrhea) may include pain in the abdomen, back and legs; abdominal cramps; headache; and fatigue. Most women have painful periods at some time in their lives. In some women, the pain is severe enough to interfere with normal activities.
There are two types of dysmenorrhea:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Primary dysmenorrhea is caused by high levels of prostaglandins in the uterus. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances normally found throughout the body.
Secondary dysmenorrhea can be caused by:
Risk factors include:
You are also at risk if you have a related condition, such as endometriosis or ovarian cysts.
The pain associated with either primary or secondary dysmenorrhea may be sharp and throbbing or dull and aching. It is most typically located in the lower abdomen and may radiate to the low back or thighs. Other symptoms may include:
Call your doctor if you have:
Also, call you doctor if you are having vaginal bleeding or pain and are unsure if it is related to menstruation.
Your doctor will ask detailed questions about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a pelvic examination.
Tests that may be done to look for causes of secondary dysmenorrhea include:
Primary dysmenorrhea is usually treated with medicines and lifestyle changes.
The treatment of secondary dysmenorrhea varies depending on the underlying condition (for example, antibiotics for an infection, surgery to remove fibroids).
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), available over-the-counter, are usually the first-line treatment for menstrual pain. Examples of these medicines include ibuprofen and naproxen .
Birth control pills may be prescribed in some cases.
To help reduce your chance of painful menstrual periods, take the following steps:

About Me Casual User
its a good unit, i like using it on the monitor, but the hard case makes it easy to throw in your car and roll to use off site. i had the older model, but upgraded to this one, it goes up to the big tape for larger labels, this unit also features a bigger screen for when you use the unit directly. i also use the lithium batteries and i get a long life with them so i never have to use the charger. computer interface makes it large and easy to see, then the unit is just like a printer on the system. i rate it way above average.
By PATHERS
from ASHEVILLE, NC
This labeler is so much easier to use than the usual integrated P-Touch since you can easily change fonts, type sizes and so forth right on your laptop or computer. I set it up on my iMac and my MacBook Air in seconds. Works right out of the box!

I love this labeler! It is easy to use and very versatile; there are many diffent choices of label sizes and colors; many font sizes, types, and styles; with the battery option, if you can't print the labels in advance, this portable machine can go with you to print what you want on the spot. (I would certainly recommend you get the carrying case. It is great to carry all your gear around in, and it really protects the labeler.)

Well tonight i did it, i went to my first meeting to get shot of this weight.
The hospital told me i have to lose some (quite a bit lol) to help both my asthma and my stupid vocal chords, and also to relieve the strain on my already knackered back, so finally tonight my class started and i went along. I have about 4.5 stone to lose, and willl have no normal food for 14 weeks starting tomorrow morning.
Wish me luck girls, the first 3 days will be the hardest, but i have to do this, i cant stand not being able to reach stuff anymore cos my stomach gets in the way, and as my back is pinned i only bend at the hips and the shoulders so a stomach in the way really isnt helping.
I was weighed, measured and photographed, and will have my BP, pulse etc checked every 28 days. I feel very positive about it, but i know at first its going to be real hell. Hoping to keep my mind occupied with my jewellery and this forum. So keep me on the straight and narrow please lol

Del Frisco's Bought Over $1 Million In Wine and Booze Last Year
Posted by Victor Fiorillo on May 14th, 2013
We were impressed back in October 2012 when we learned that Center City red meat emporium Del Frisco's had purchased nearly $900,000 worth of wine and spirits through the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board the year prior. But in our most recent report, Del Frisco's (and two other spots) break the $1 million mark.

We've got an interesting collaboration for you guys here today from two East Coast artists. The first is one you're probably familiar with if you've been with us a while: North Carolina producer and musician Cry Wolf. He's been on our radar for a while now, and actually just signed with Le Castle Vania's label, Always Never Records. Having collaborated on this track, which is released through the new label, with local New Jersey producer Aylen. The influence of the two artists blend together in a way that creates a very unique and original sound, almost like an upbeat trancey anthem, except with this deep, churning level of bass-filled filth grumbling below the synth line. And of course you can snag it up FREE! Get at it!

Oak Soft Buffalo
A belt is great for accessorising dresses, knitwear and outerwear, as well as being a Mulberry staple accessory since we started in 1971. We think every woman needs a classic, crafted belt in her collection, such as the Braided Belt – strips of leather plaited into this timeless style, with chunky D-ring and buckle hardware.
Soft Buffalo Leather
Buffalo leather is naturally strong and durable whilst remaining soft and flexible at the same time. The refined texture on this leather gives it a natural polished effect. The leather will age creating a vintage look after a period of time.
Refined grainy texture.
Ages naturally to become more characteristic with use.
Tumbled to enhance individual characteristics.
Mulberry's advice is to regularly treat with Collonil Waterstop Gel, which will help reduce dirt and water marks and assist in preserving the natural characteristics of this unique leather.
If the surface appears dull, rub lightly with a soft dry cloth.
Should the leather get wet, please remove any residual water immediately with a paper towel, pack loosely with paper and allow to dry naturally.
Never place in direct heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods as this may cause the colour to fade unevenly.
Please avoid rubbing against fragile or lightly-coloured clothing.
Special care should be taken to prevent scratching and marking; avoid placing the product on rough or sharp surfaces.

For the love of Lars reprise
In honor of his birthday, I'm reposting something I originally wrote about Lars von Trier back in January, 2008.
It was while onstage in a comedy improv show that I decided to learn more about Ibsen. (You didn't see that comin', did ya?)
Based on an audience suggestion, my improv mates and I were supposed to imitate his playwriting style in a scene. I had no idea how to do it, but faked it and got a mild laugh from the audience. A lot of improv is just faking it, so no big deal. But, post-show, I felt it was my responsibility to find out more about the celebrated Norwegian. So I went online to the lazy-assed researcher's choice: Wikipedia. Luckily the entry on Ibsen was thoughtfully presented.
As I read through it, the similarities between Ibsen's work and that of my favorite filmmaker, Lars von Trier, fell into sharp relief:
"[Ibsen's] plays were considered scandalous to many of his era, when Victorian values of family life and propriety largely held sway in Europe and any challenge to them was considered immoral and outrageous. Ibsen's work examined the realities that lay behind many facades, possessing a revelatory nature that was disquieting to many contemporaries."
Aha! As Von Trier did in his eviscerating masterpiece Dogville and its less magnificent, but no less moving, sister film Manderlay.
"Ibsen largely founded the modern stage by introducing a critical eye and free inquiry into the conditions of life and issues of morality. Victorian-era plays were expected to be moral dramas with noble protagonists pitted against darker forces; every drama was expected to result in a morally appropriate conclusion, meaning that goodness was to bring happiness, and immorality pain. Ibsen challenged this notion and the beliefs of his times and shattered the illusions of his audiences."
Hmmm. Brings to mind Von Trier's Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark—two dramas so emotionally devastating, I don't think I could handle a second viewing of either.
Having stumbled upon this Ibsen/Von Trier similarity, I Google'd the two blokes' names to find out if anyone else had made this comparison. Humorously enough, good olde Von Trier included a tongue-in-cheek Ibsen joke in his recent office comedy The Boss of It All. In a very funny scene, one of his characters "outs" Ibsen as being an idiot. Reading that brought a grin to my mug. It was like Lars and I had shared a little inside joke.
Yes, despite the somberness of most of the films mentioned above, Von Trier does have a wicked sense of humor. It revealed itself a bit in the documentary The Five Obstructions (a great film exercise any creative person should see). But now his twisted sense of play has unfurled itself in all its snide glory with the subdued, but brilliant office farce The Boss of It All.
This quietly clever comedy is set in the dimly lit halls and conference rooms of a Danish software corporation that has a fictional president at its helm. The real president, a man named Ravn, has created a "fake president" in a foreign country. Upon this ghost executive Ravn is able to blame all manner of unpopular business decisions. A habeas corpus situation occurs and Ravn must scramble to produce a "live" faux leader. So he hires an actor to impersonate "the boss of it all." Lucky for us, the actor he handpicks decides to take this role—as he would any role—very, very seriously.
The slow simmer of the story asks for some patience, but the plot of it all pays off swimmingly in the climatic meeting showdown. The dialogue is superb throughout. I'd say Von Trier's finest skill is his ability to dissect and reflect human behavior with uncanny—and, OK, usually unflattering—precision. The acting is terrific throughout the ensemble cast, but especially in the faking-stoicism-to-perfection performance of Jens Albinus as the hired thespian in question.
Upping the ante, Von Trier creates interludes in the action with bitterly self-mocking bits of narration. He also does a kind of jump cut hiccup trick in certain scenes—stuttering from one take of a moment to another—while the dialogue continues seamlessly. This editing sleight of hand creates a kinetic feeling of imbalance and subtly mimics the redundant patterns of office life.
You know, I've tried to talk friends into seeing Von Trier's films and it's an uphill battle. I suppose it's because his films seem like so much work to watch. I remember years back convincing a Taco Tuesday movie night crew to see Breaking of the Waves when it was first released. They loathed it on exit. One of my friends actually gave me the finger as the credits rolled. BUT a day or two later, they were all gushing about it. See? See?!
So for those of you who've been leery of Lars, perhaps The Boss of It All will be a nice way to dip your toe into his genius oeuvre. To paraphrase the female lawyer character in the aforementioned comedy, the words in dogma films are sometimes hard to hear, but that doesn't make them any less important.

You restless soul, you're gonna find it.
Whenever this Daniel Johnston song comes up on a mix CD I've made, I end up playing it over and over. Sparklehorse and The Flaming Lips do a gorgeous arrangement of it, of course, but Daniel's simple, sweet lyrics are the beautiful heart of it. If I'm remembering right, he wrote this for his best friend when the friend fell in love with Daniel's ex-girlfriend. So this song is Daniel giving them his blessing.
So you think you've found the one
And she knows just how you feel
And you say that she's for real and she's fun
Well, that's all well and good
That's just the way it should be
To understand and be understood is to be free
So I think that you should go
Go on ahead
Take her in your arms and be wed
Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it
Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it
Yes, life's a bowl of cherries
You can have as many as you can carry
And someone once said that life is like a cow
But I don't know how that applies
But anyhow here we are all on this planet
Taking everything for granted
But I think you've caught on to something
Don't let go
Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it
Go go go go you restless soul, you're going to find it
Oh, yes you did, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it.

Art imitating assholes?
This line from an LA Weekly film review jumped out at me:
"Still, a case history in the guise of a dumbbell comedy, Observe and Report is not without a certain sociological vérité. Ronnie the Mall Cop is as iconic an expression of irate proletarian populism and brainless role-playing as Rush the Limbaugh or Joe the Plumber—identify or ignore at your peril." - J. Hoberman

"The role of the critic is to help people see what is in the work, what is in it that shouldn't be, what is not in it that could be. He is a good critic if he helps people understand more about the work than they could see for themselves; he is a great critic, if by his understanding and feeling for the work, by his passion, he can excite people so that they want to experience more of the art that is there, waiting to be seized. The art of the critic is to transmit his knowledge of and enthusiasm for art to others."

One day Hudson Taylor was traveling on a Chinese junk from Shanghai to Ningpo. He had been witnessing to a man named Peter who rejected the gospel but was under deep conviction. In the course of events, Peter fell overboard, but no one made any effort to save him. Taylor sprang to the mast, let down the sail, and jumped overboard in hopes of finding his friend. But no one on board joined Taylor in his frantic search. Taylor saw a fishing boat nearby and yelled to them to help, but they wouldn't do it without money. Finally, after bartering for every penny that Taylor had, the fishermen stopped their fishing and began to look for Peter. In less than a minute of dragging their net, they found him, but it was too late. They were too busy fishing to care about saving a drowning man.
We can easily condemn the selfish indifference of those fishermen, but by indicting them, we may condemn ourselves. Are we too busy with our jobs and other activities to take the time to rescue those who are perishing without Christ?
(Kenneth Cole, The Crucial Message. From a sermon by Gerald Flury, Why Are You Standing Around? 8/16/2012)
A number of years ago, Dr. Waltke, a seminary professor, & three pastors, one of which was Charles Swindol toured the mother church of the First Church of Christ Scientist in downtown Boston. The four were unknown to the elderly lady who was going to give them a tour. They didn't tell her who they were, at least not at first. She showed them several interesting things on the main floor. When they got to the pipe organ she began to talk about their doctrine & especially their belief about no judgment in the life beyond. Dr. Waltke waited for just the right moment & then very casually asked: "But, Ma'am, doesn't it say somewhere in the Bible, 'It is appointed unto man once to die & after that, the judgment?" The scholar could have quoted Hebrews 9:27 in the Greek, but he was so gracious & tactful. Swindol confessed he was thinking, "Go for it Bruce. Now we've got her where we want her!" Without a pause, the lady simply ask, "Would you like to see the second floor?" Dr. Waltke said, "We surely would, thank you." She smiled, somewhat relieved, & started to lead the men up a flight of stairs. Swindol recalled he couldn't believe it. He was thinking, "No, don't let her get away. Make her answer your question!" He pulled on the scholar's arm & said in a low voice, "Hey, why didn't you nail the lady? Why didn't you press the point & not let her get away until she answered?" Swindol said he replied, "But, Chuck, that wouldn't have been fair. That wouldn't have been very loving, either- now would it?" Swindol said, "Wham, the quiet rebuke left me reeling. I shall never forget that moment. And to complete the story, you'll be interested to know that in less than 20 minutes he was sitting with the woman alone, gently speaking to her about the Lord Jesus Christ. She sat in rapt attention. He, the gracious servant, had won a hearing by being kind.
Illustration: One day, Adrian Rogers, the former president of the southern Baptist church, now Pastor of Bellevue Baptist in Memphis, Tenn felt discouraged that people were not responding to His invitations. He felt so distraught that he asked God to give him a verse for encouragement. He opened his Bible and pointed at a verse and it read, "They are not rejecting you, but Me." After that Dr. Rogers no longer worried about the results from his invitations knowing that people were not rejecting him or teaching, but God and His word's invitation. That took all of the pressure off of him to see success.

Jim Cymbala preaches at a church in the slums of New York. He tells the following story: It was Easter Sunday and I was so tired at the end of the day that I just went to the edge of the platform, pulled down my tie and sat down and draped my feet over the edge. It was a wonderful service with many people coming forward. The counselors were talking with these people.
As I was sitting there I looked up the middle aisle, and there in about the third row was a man who looked about fifty, disheveled, filthy. He looked up at me rather sheepishly, as if saying, "Could I talk to you?"
We have homeless people coming in all the time, asking for money or whatever. So as I sat there, I said to myself, though I am ashamed of it, "What a way to end a Sunday. I've had such a good time, preaching and ministering, and here's a fellow probably wanting some money for more wine."
He walked up. When he got within about five feet of me, I smelled a horrible smell like I'd never smelled in my life. It was so awful that when he got close, I would inhale by looking away, and then I'd talk to him, and then look away to inhale, because I couldn't inhale facing him. I asked him, "What's your name?"
"How long have you been on the street?"
"Six years."
"How old are you?"
"Thirty-two." He looked fifty--hair matted; front teeth missing; wino; eyes slightly glazed.
"Where did you sleep last night, David?"
"Abandoned truck."
I keep in my back pocket a money clip that also holds some credit cards. I fumbled to pick one out thinking; I'll give him some money. I won't even get a volunteer. They are all busy talking with others. Usually we don't give money to people. We take them to get something to eat.
I took the money out. David pushed his finger in front of me. He said, "I don't want your money. I want this Jesus, the One you were talking about, because I'm not going to make it. I'm going to die on the street."
I completely forgot about David, and I started to weep for myself. I was going to give a couple of dollars to someone God had sent to me. See how easy it is? I could make the excuse I was tired. There is no excuse. I was not seeing him the way God sees him. I was not feeling what God feels.
But oh, did that change! David just stood there. He didn't know what was happening. I pleaded with God, "God, forgive me! Forgive me! Please forgive me. I am so sorry to represent You this way. I'm so sorry. Here I am with my message and my points, and You send somebody and I am not ready for it. Oh, God!"
Something came over me. Suddenly I started to weep deeper, and David began to weep. He fell against my chest as I was sitting there. He fell against my white shirt and tie, and I put my arms around him, and there we wept on each other. The smell of His person became a beautiful aroma. Here is what I thought the Lord made real to me: If you don't love this smell, I...
In his best selling book called, "Into Thin Air," Jon Krakauer relates the hazards that plagued some climbers as they attempted to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Andy Harris, one of the expedition leaders stayed at the peak too long and on his descent, he became in dire need of oxygen. Harris radioed the base camp and told them about his predicament. He mentioned that he had come across a cache of oxygen canisters left by the other climbers but they were all empty. The climbers who already passed the canisters on their own descent knew they were not empty, but full. They pleaded with him on the radio to make use of them but it was to no avail. Harris was starved for oxygen but he continued to argue that the canisters were empty.
The problem was that the lack of what he needed had so disoriented his mind that though he was surrounded by something that would give him life, he continued to complain of its absence. The lack of oxygen had ravaged his capacity to recognize what was right in front of him.
Friends, what oxygen is to the body, the Bread of Life is to the soul. Some of us are suffocating and starving and we don't even know it. Jesus is offering life to us while we run around trying to appease our appetites. We will never be filled until we take of the Bread and Water of life, Jesus Christ.

Ruby Hamilton, a businesswoman in her fifties, was stunned at the loss of her husband of 32 years in a car accident. Her anger and disappointment went deeper than a more typical expression of grief though. She had become a follower of Christ in her late twenties, but her husband didn't share her newfound interest in spiritual things. Nonetheless, she had set about praying for him feverishly and unceasingly that he would come to know the Lord. And one day when she was praying, she felt a wave of peace wash over her, and that still small voice assuring her that her husband would be okay. She eagerly awaited the day when her husband surrender his life to Jesus. And now this.
What do you do when faith doesn't make sense? When God doesn't seem to be answering or opening doors or being found? Ruby Hamilton stopped living for God.
Roger Simmons was hitchhiking his way home. He would never forget the date - May 7th. His heavy suitcase was making him tired and he was anxious to take off that army uniform once and for all. Flashing the thumb to the oncoming car, he lost hope when he saw it was a black, sleek new Cadillac. To his surprise the car stopped.
The passenger door swung open. He ran toward the car, tossed his suitcase in the back and thanked the handsome, well-dressed man as he slid into the front seat. "Going home for keeps?"
"Sure am."
"Well, you're in luck if you're going to Chicago."
"Not quite that far - do you live in Chicago?"
"I have a business there, the driver said. My name is Hamilton."
They chatted for a while, and then Roger, a Christian, felt a compulsion to share his faith with this fiftyish, apparently successful business man. But he kept putting it off, till he realized that he was now just 30 minutes from his home. It was now or never.
"Mr. Hamilton, I would like to talk to you about something very important." Then he simply told Mr. Hamilton about the plan of salvation and ultimately asked him if he would like to receive Jesus as his savior and Lord.
The Cadillac pulled over to the side of the road. Roger expected that he was about to get thrown out of the car. Instead, the businessman bowed his head and received Christ, then thanked Roger "This is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me."
Five years went by. Roger married, had a couple of kids and a business of his own. Packing his suitcase for a trip to Chicago he found a small white business card that had been given to him by Hamilton five years previous. In Chicago, he looked up Hamilton enterprises. The receptionist told him that it was impossible to see Mr. Hamilton, but he could see Mrs. Hamilton. A little confused, he was ushered into a beautiful office where he found himself facing a keen-eyed woman in her fifties.
She extended her hand "You knew my husband?"
Roger told her about how Hamilton had picked him up while he was hitchhiking home after the war. "Can you tell me what day that was?"
"Sure it was May 7th, five years ago, the day I was discharged from the army."
"Anything special about that day," she asked.
He hesitated, not knowing if he should mention how he shared the message of Jesus with her husband. "Mrs. Hamilton, I explained the gospel to your husband that day. He pulled over to the side of the road and wept against the steering wheel. He gave his life to Christ that day."
Explosive sobs shook her body. Finally getting a grip on herself, she sobbed, "I had prayed for my husband's salvation for years. I believed God would save him."
"Where is your husband, Ruby?"
"He's dead. He was in a car crash after he let you out of the car. He never got home. You see, I thought God had not kept his promise. I stopped living for God five years ago because I thought God had not kept his word!"
(Considerable influence for this message came from John Piper's "The Spring of Persistent Public Love", DesiringGod.org. From a sermon by Bret Toman, Power to Live the Golden Rule, 1/3/2011)
There is a great article that illustrates the concept of grace written by Charles Stanley.
"One of my more memorable seminary professors had a practical way of illustrating to his students the concept of grace. At the end of his evangelism course he would distribute the exam with the caution to read it all the way through before beginning to answer it. This caution was written on the exam as well. As we read the test, it became unquestionably clear to each of us that we had not studied nearly enough.
The further we read, the worse it became. About halfway through, audible groans could be heard through out the lecture hall. On the last page, however, was a note that read, "You have a choice. You can either complete the exam as given or sign your name at the bottom and in so doing receive an A for this assignment."
Wow? We sat there stunned. "Was he serious? Just sign it and get an A?" Slowly, the point dawned on us, and one by one we turned in our tests and silently filed out of the room.
When I talked with the professor about it afterward, he shared some of the reactions he had received through the years. Some students began to take the exam without reading it all the way through, and they would sweat it out for the entire two hours of class time before reaching the last page.
Others read the first two pages, became angry, turned the test in blank, and stormed out of the room without signing it. They never realized what was available, and as a result, they lost out totally.
One fellow, however, read the entire test, including the note at the end, but decided to take the exam anyway. He did not want any gifts; he wanted to earn his grade. And he did. He made a C+, but he could easily have had an A.
This story illustrates many people's reaction to God's solution to sin. Some people look at God's standard--moral and et...

34,000 converts each day in South America
28-37,000 Chinese converts daily
23-25,000 African converts daily
16,000 Muslims come to Christ daily - the following stories are all quoted.
"In December 2001, Sheikh Ahmad al Qataani, a leading Saudi cleric, appeared on a live interview on Aljazeera satellite television to confirm that, sure enough, Muslims were turning to Jesus in alarming numbers. "In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity," Al Qataani warned. "Every day, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Every year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity." Stunned, the interviewer interrupted the cleric. "Hold on! Let me clarify. Do we have six million converting from Islam to Christianity?" Al Qataani repeated his assertion. "Every year," the cleric confirmed, adding, "a tragedy has happened."
Stories from Muslim countries: Iraq -- thousands of new Christians since Saddam was overthrown, many new churches started, Egypt -- some reports say 1 million Egyptians have trusted Christ over the past decade or so. The Egyptian Bible Society used to sell about 3,000 copies of the JESUS film a year in the early 1990s. But last year they sold 600,000 copies, plus 750,000 copies of the Bible on tape (in Arabic) and about a half million copies of the Arabic New Testament. The largest Christian congregation in the Middle East, meets in an enormous cave on the outskirts of Cairo. Some 10,000 believers worship there every weekend. A prayer conference the church held in May 2005 drew some 20,000 believers, Afghanistan -- only 17 Muslim converts to Christianity before 9/11/01, but now more than 10,000, Kazakstan -- only 3 known Christians in 1990, but now more than 15,000, Sudan -- more than 1 million Sudanese have converted to Christianity just since 2000, and some 5 million have become Christians since the early 1990s, despite a radical Islamic regime and an on-going genocide that has killed more than 200,000.
Seminaries are being held in caves to train pastors to shepherd the huge numbers of people coming to Christ. Why such a dramatic spiritual awakening? "People have seen real Islam, and they want Jesus instead," one Sudanese evangelical leader said, Iran -- in 1979, there were only 500 known Muslim converts to Christianity, but today Iranian pastors and evangelical leaders say there are more than 1 million Iranian believers in Jesus Christ, most of whom meet in underground house churches. One of the most dramatic developments is that many Muslims are seeing dreams and visions of Jesus and thus coming into churches explaining that they have already converted and now need a Bible and guidance on how to follow Jesus."
Worldwide: 174,000 converts daily -- David B. Barret and Todd M. Johnson of the Global Evangelism Movement.
This is truly the most exciting time in all of history to be alive and a part of His Great Commission. The opportunity has never been more dramatic and the need has never been so huge:

Norman Cates shared the humorous story of a guy who prayed this prayer every morning: "Lord, if you want me to witness to someone today, please give me a sign to show me who it is." One day he found himself on a bus when a big, burly man sat next to him. The bus was nearly empty but this guy sat next to our praying friend. The timid Christian anxiously waited for his stop so he could exit the bus. But before he could get very nervous about the man next to him, the big guy burst into tears and began to weep. He then cried out with a loud voice, "I need to be saved. I'm a lost sinner and I need the Lord. Won't somebody tell me how to be saved?" He turned to the Christian and pleaded, "Can you show me how to be saved?" The believer immediately bowed his head and prayed, "Lord, is this a sign?" Are you looking for a "sign" to start witnessing?
