Re: "Winning in bacarrat"
Posted by John May on 1 February 2002, at 1:19 a.m., in response to Re: "Winning in bacarrat", posted by Alton on 28 January 2002, at 8:40 p.m.
Because the rebate is not pay in every hand, and if we play a couple of hundred hands, all partners' winning and losing hands are just back and forth. The accumulated table commission will exceed 10% of our total loss. So I think that your method is not workable.
It can be if you can make a succession of very small wagers punctuated by one very large one-which given a large enough discrepancy between the wagers is almost the same thing as betting only one hand. This is exactly what you'd do with a count system anyway.
The 0.5% figure is taken from the Tamburin/Rahm book and they did not give specific information about how the figure was calculated-but my guess is that they used a 1-20 spread with their linear system against a game with European-style penetration.
You can do better if you use a non-linear system for determining favourable tie wagers: see BFC for more details.

Day 12
12deg 57N 51deg 55W
Todays hightlight... morning coffee with Scottish shortbread courtesy of Morrison's Supermarket, Gibraltar, purveyors of all provisions from the UK. Accompanied by a display of dolphin speed and sense of fun. A pod of dolphins surfed down the swells, leaping out into the sunshine. They swam close to Tuatara,then at midships they looped around and did it all again giving us an entertaining ten minute display . Apparently sensing the finish of smoko the dolphins disappeared as the last buttery crumbs blew off the plate.
At 1am this morning the wind and sea changed so it was all hands on deck to take down our big coloured MPS which we had been flying most of the last 4 days. We had arrived in the squally windy zone yachts in front of us had been experiencing a day or so earlier. . White caps glinted in the dark where only an hour or so earlier the swells were small and all blue. Tuatara became a rolly platform again as the swell came at us from midships. By day light the sky was grey, we had one shower of rain and from then the patches of blue have increased and the thunder clouds have moved to the south. We still have too much wind for the big colour to go back up and the swell has developed some big holes but we are still heading west to Barbados and thats all we ask. The weather and sea changes so quickly and often during a day so maybe by this evening the sea may be smooth again.
We have less than 500 miles to go so we have passed another couple of milestones. We have completed three quarters of our journey and have passed the 50 deg West mark,Barbados is about 59/60 deg W. Sliding down these swells today feels like we are literally and figuratively on the downhill slide to Bridgetown.
The fish have been leaving our lures alone so no fish meals for days now.
It seems a little strange we are out here, no other sign of human life and yet Christmas is only days away, thousands of people are rushing through shops buying gifts, loading trolleys with festive food while listening to canned carols. That's a part I am missing about the Christmas buildup ...not the shopping but listening to the Christmas Carols. I had a little taste at Mindelo with English carols floating out of the produce Mercado. I am off now to put up my Christmas Fairy, and I am sure there are some Christmas songs somewhere amongst the CD,s.......
Merry Christmas to all and have a Christmas mince pie or two for me.

Day 7
Speciality of the house Chocolate cake
Disappointment of the day, 2 good fishing lures lost and no fish.
At last we are half way to Barbados and after several days of tracking Egret the rudderless English yacht we finally spotted them on the horizon. They popped up on our AIS but we couldnt see them. We had been in radio contact all day. By 3pm we thought we should be able to see them. I called them to see if they could see us. Amanda could see us on the horizon going straight for them. Another careful look from our fore deck and there they were.
The diesel was ready to go, Alan and Juan had transferred it into cans we didnt need back, we sacrificed some of our half way chocolate cake and a couple of other bits as a present and we were ready. Once we came along side, careful not to get too close to their steering drogue, the whole process took about an hour.
It was a bit of a mission and we couldnt have done it with out a 3rd person on board, The old muscle..Alan... rowed the dinghy over to Egret, we had a line attached..We took three goes to get it right I was steering and Juan the young muscle operated the line to the dinghy. We were a little surprised as to how the dinghy behaved because the wind was from behind we thought the dinghy would blow across easily but no it seemed to shoot out astern of both yachts. Juan had to haul Alan in again, the rope acting as a break made it difficult rowing. Then on the third try I got Tuatara quite a bit ahead of Egret so that got the dinghy closer and easier for Alan to row then between the old and young muscle they pulled the dinghy back to Tuatara. The sea state meant getting the dinghy in the water from off the bow was a little dicey as Tuatara rolled with the side on swells, the couple of minutes to get Alan and diesel into the dinghy was a little tense. Getting back on board was also a bit of an act. Alan can move quite fast when he wants to! Once we left Patrick and Amanda we sorted our selves out, tied down the dinghy, and eventually got the sails up again. By that time we were about mile or so on from Egret the sea was a lot flatter, the wind died some more and at last we seem to be having nice trade wind sailing. A little slower but more comfortable, no more bruises.
A cold beer and then wine with dinner was well deserved, Between watches we all slept soundly.
Day 8 On the down hill slide.
12 deg 46 N 44 deg 26W The wind is still eased about 15 knots, the MPS is up with the big drifter poled out the other side. The African haze is now behind us. The sun is out and we are hot. Alan is making a lure so may be fish for dinner.
12/15/2011, Atlantic
Day 5 lunch...
Marinaded fish with fresh warm bread.
I cant remember the name we call this dish at home but the one recipe I have it is called Kokoda which is an American name I think. Anyway it is lovely, I am not sure if we have enough lemons and coconut milk on board to have it too often. A couple of the lemons from Cape Verde have not lasted and have met a watery end. The fruit and vege there was not great but we have enough cans on board to delve into when the fresh stuff runs out. No problem with meat as the freezer is still full thanks to all the fish we have caught.
The African sand is chasing us across the Atlantic. Yesterday (officially yesterday but still seems like today as I write this at 2.30am) was the first day of really clear sky over head and enough sun to give the batteries a boost. Tuatara is covered in dust, a fine film of reddish brown covers everything, with a following wind our head sails are getting browner by the day. Tomorrow/today maybe the haze will have retreated some more. The dust deprives us of the lovely passage sunrises and sunsets as the watery sun appears and disappears long before it touches the horizon. One of the pleasures,of the sunrise watch is watching the colours light up sea and sky as a golden orb slowly ascends into the day. Everyone else aboard is asleep, the only thing disturbing the peace is occasionally there is a twang on the fishing reel as a fish comes in for an early morning nibble.
Good news from the disabled yacht Egret today, they have discovered there is still about a quarter of their rudder left so with that and their drogue they are starting to move nicely at about 4 knots and virtually in a westerly direction. We are about 36 hours away from them and still looking to drop some fuel if the sea state allows. At the moment we are sailing well in about 20knots with a bit of a swell, making good progress.

text: By Tim LinscottManaging Editor The Perkins County girls basketball team is wanting 'Out' this season. With eight returning letter winners, the Perkins County girls basketball team couple that experience with their seniors to make a big impact on the court using their theme for this year: "Out Hustle. Out Work. Out Think. Out Play." The two seniors on the squad this year are Courtney McClenahan and Courtney Lyon. A host of juniors make up the squad this year with Courtney Ostermiller, Kendra Hoffert, Stephanie Schrotberger, Mariah Curtis and Amanda Osler. Rounding out the squad is sophomore Brandie Ross. There are 14 total girls out this season. Last year the Lady Plainsmen had a record of 13-9 and head coach Deanne Bishop wants to approach each game as if it were the squad's last. "Sometimes the girls have games they look forward to for personal reasons (i.e., relatives on the opponents' teams, memories from the previous years)," Bishop said. "As a coaching staff, we realize every game 'counts for one.' In other words, each game is significant and important in and of its own." She continued, "We're looking forward to watching the girls improve each game throughout the season." Using speed as a weapon on the court will be important to Bishop. "This year's squad is very quick. We'll look to use that as a way to attack the basket on offense and apply pressure on defense," Bishop said. Wanting to improve each and every game, Bishop lost the top four scorers and top three rebounders from last year's squad. "We'll need new individuals to take leadership roles for us. This year's squad had some quality wins in previous seasons' C-Team and JV games," Bishop said. "The girls need to translate that success and the skills that brought them that success to the varsity level." Lower numbers on the squad is a challenge for Bishop. Injuries and illness have the potential to affect practice options and player rotations in games. Bishop stays positive when faced with adversity. "Looking on the positive side, however, this means that the girls who are in practice are going to get extra reps in drills," Bishop said. "Hopefully, the girls use these reps to their advantage and see big gains in their skills." The assistant coaches this year are Renee Seiler and Mike Mayer. The student managers are Carlie Waitley, Lila Konecky and Amanda Reichert.

In just a few short years, the Bay Area's own Pink Dolphin Clothing has made a name for themselves in the American streetwear scene. With help from some high-profile co-signs like TI, Juelz Santana, Mac Miller, Wale and others it was only time before this brand began to blow up. And now we've gotten our hands on their Spring 2012 lookbook, which was released late last night. Similar to some of the collections we've seen from Pink Dolphin before, this once again utilizes graphic tees, hooded sweatshirts, crewnecks and snapbacks as the main weapons of choice. The famous 'waves' logo makes an appearance, which isn't surprising considering its meaning to the brand, "The three waves from top to bottom represent chaos, alertness and calmness. The dolphins leaping outward display rarity, intelligence and 'sky's the limit.'" And of course the 'promo logo' with the cross and japanese writing makes an appearance draped in Pink Dolphin's newly-created camo pattern. The collection does feature some pieces in colors that are less dramatic than the teals and pinks we usually see including a sharp burgundy snapback with a nautical theme.
Look for the Spring 2012 Pink Dolphin collection to drop via their website on March 9. If you're familiar with Pink Dolphin's online releases, this one will be more of the same aka a test of just how fast your Internet is. Stay tuned to ahoodie for more info as other pieces from the collection come to light.

Today we are going to the doctor. The dock master told me that medical services at the hospital are free of charge. Saint Kitts has socialized medicine and medical services are fairly inexpensive throughout the country. I was going to take Randy to a doctor on call at the drug store but the doctors were there only at night. So the hospital it was.
We had Junie, the same taxi driver who took us on the tour, pick us up at the boat. Junie told us to go to the emergency room at the hospital for faster service. That saved us about two hours. We were still there five hours.
The doctor gave Randy an IV to hydrate him. Randy didn't really want an IV but was too tired to fight. The first nurse stabbed around for a few minutes trying to find the vein and then finally gave up and started over. Not pretty. Randy almost threw up during the process.
While I was waiting for Randy's tests to come back a medical school intern from India came to talk to me. She thought I was a Chinese girl that she knew. It was interesting to know that the Saint Kitts Medical School has many international students, mainly from India. It just so happened that the international students were having a tour of the hospital. The hospital was pretty crowded.
Junie came by a few times to see if we were ready to leave but IVs take a while to soak in. When the tests finally came back and the IV was done the prognosis was that Randy had the flu. We picked up some more vitamins and had Junie take us back home.

Over the counter drugs work sometimes but Randy was still running a fever this morning. I suggested seeing a doctor but because Randy hates going to the doctor (and generally doesn't) I made a deal with him. High fever for three days straight and you go to the doctor.

When I woke up this morning Randy asked me to check his temperature. For the first time I can remember he had a high fever, 103 degrees! Before we started cruising I stocked up on many over the counter medicines and one of them was a fever reducer. Although Randy didn't have an appetite I gave him a piece of bread and made him take the medicine (he hates to take medicine). He spent all day sleeping and I felt helpless not being able to make him feel better.
What do you do when your husband is sick? Go shopping! Well not for shoes but to get better medicine and healthy groceries. Cindy, Jill and I went to explore Basseterre and look for a drug store. Monday was very lively in the main circuit. We were stopped by many fruit sellers on the street. We paused at a place that sold unfamiliar fruits where Cindy bought Star Fruit and Sour Apples. We have since come to love Soursop and Sour Oranges (like an orange crossed with a lemon) as well. Nothing better than Soursop juice.
After picking up some medicine at the drug store, which was well stocked, and shopping at the market, I went back to the marina to check up on my sick husband. His favorite meal when he's sick is a Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Soup, not the most nutritious cuisine. So even though I would have preferred to cook something more nutritious, I made him a nice Grilled Cheese to go with Alias.

We took a tour of Saint Kitts today. The typical way to get a tour of most of the Lesser Antilles is to simply hire a cab and tell him to take you on a tour. Some islands have some quality control in this area and others don't. It's best to talk to anyone you are considering for a tour and ask them a few straight forward questions about the country's history and environment. If you find yourself needing hip boots in response to questions as elementary as, "when did your country gain independence?", you might want to check with the next driver. I find that the older guys usually know a lot more about the history and nature of a place. Never can tell though.
We had two choices for our tour. Alfred, an older gentleman, and Junie, a younger go getter. We were walking to the marina office on our first day in when two cab drivers both started talking to us concurrently. Soliciting our business and arguing with each other in alternating bursts. We ended up using both throughout the week but Junie happened to be on hand this morning.
We started out with a little tour of Basseterre. Like most towns settled by the French, English and Spanish, there are churches marking the center of town. Sometimes Catholic, sometimes Anglican, sometimes otherwise, but always one of the oldest and grandest structures in the area. Basseterre has a little town center that is rumored to be modeled after Piccadilly Circus in London. I didn't really get that but it is a neat area of town.
Saint Kitts is a good sized island and has the shape of an hourglass with the north portion much larger than the southern. The northern part has large volcanic peaks covered in rain forest, lots of sugar cane fields in the lowlands, and small villages dotting the rocky coast line. The southern part has the sandy beaches and is where the tourist resorts are located. Basseterre is the only real city and it sits at the bottom of the leeward side of the northern part of Saint Kitts just above the apex of the hourglass.
We drove up the west coast of the island and through many nice little villages making our first stop at an old sugar mill then on to the botanical gardens. The farther up hill you go the greener everything gets. We had lunch at an old plantation house with sweeping vistas of Saint Eustatius to the north. Many of the plantation houses in the Caribbean have been converted into bead and breakfast places.
I spent a bit of time in a hammock with Roq at the lunch spot. One reason was that they didn't allow dogs in the dinning area, but also because I was starting to feel like I was coming down with something. I hate being sick in a foreign country.
The sugar cane farms that stand in disrepair all over the island have almost all been shut down. This is an unfortunate affair because it used to be Saint Kitts' number one business. The sugar was shipped to various places but principally the UK. As other parts of the world got into the sugar business, Saint Kitts found itself producing the cane at a loss. The government owned all of the fields and over the last two years they shut the entire industry down. Some of the fields have been burned to make way for new crops or other uses for the land. Others fields just grow wild. There is a Sugar Cane train that has turned to tourist duty but it only runs during high season, mostly for the cruise ship folks, at $85 a head.
The colonial powers were good at building churches but also forts. There's a nice one here on Saint Kitts. The fort is high on a rocky bluff and affords spectacular views west and north. You have to pay a few Eastern Caribbean Dollars to get in but like most attractions on Saint Kitts the experience is fairly organic.
We wrapped up the day with a drive down the rugged windward coast and a little trip around the touristy south node of the island. We had enjoyed good food and seen a great many interesting sights covering most of Saint Kitts. The tour cost $150 (US) for the 5 of us, plus food and park fees.

Day two in Saint Kitts and we had lots of work to do. Our first task was to wait for Captain Fantastic to move his 70 foot charter cat out of our slip (really a concrete wall with cleats, do I sound bitter?). This happened fairly early and we moved the boat over quickly so that we could get on with clearing in.
Clearing in took another trip to the cruise ship dock (pictured) to talk with Ozzy again. This time he had the correct forms. I don't know if he had slept though. He offered to take Cindy and I (the designated clear in committee for this port) up to the airport for immigration. Great! He also took us on a tour along the way. I particularly remember him showing us Irish Town and telling that it was rather dangerous with nothing but rum halls, drugs and bad guys. Then he started honking his horn and waving. He exclaimed, "that's my cousin, he got shot in the head but he's strong like an ox." Then after a reflective pause, "don't talk to him...".
Immigration at the airport was, well, immigration at an airport. Pretty predictable. Ozzy dropped us right back at the marina and went on about his day. Not too many places where the customs officials drive you to immigration and give you a complementary tour. Great people in my book. I must say that while Saint Kitts has not grabbed me so far (give it a chance I know), the people have been pretty great.
When we returned the KFII and SOAS crews were looking for a down day. So we all just hung out, played risk and planned our tour of the island for tomorrow.
|Saint Kitts
06/15/2007, Saint Kitts and Nevis
We got up early to get the boat ready so that we could clear out when the Saint Barts office opened at 7:30. We had been keeping close tabs on the weather as we always do but with extra trepidation now. It is two weeks into the official Hurricane season and two weeks until our insurance requires us to be south of 12 degrees north for named storm coverage. 12 north is 350 miles from here.
After clearing out, Swingin' on a Star headed into the Caribbean Sea making way for Saint Eustatius, also known as Statia. We were going on cruising guide information only. I was interested because it sounded remote like Saba, but it was more on the way. Both Statia and Saba are supposed to have wonderful diving so I was looking forward to getting in a dive or two as well.
The wind was up around 15-20 and we were on a shallow broad reach. The seas were up a bit, but on the quarter, so not so bad. Kelp Fiction was already cleared out so we had to play catch up. We could barely see them on the horizon as they heckled us on the VHF. Once we found the groove Swingin' on a Star stepped up to about 9 knots and we started to reel them in.
At noon the two boats rounded the north side of Statia together. Statia is a big rock, ex-volcano, with a big oil operation and typically several tankers filling up the bunker. This happens via off shore lines to huge moorings (don't hit one of these!). We were watching the tankers on our AIS as we approached.
We tried to avoid the restricted zones around the tankers as best as possible while still sailing in the fluky winds wrapping around the cape with gusts up to 30 knots. As we closed on the main anchorage and only port (pictured) there was a group sigh.
Not the highly protected beautiful scenery of the Bahamas. I'm sure that it would have been fun to explore for a day but the anchorage was not as advertised and the little breakwater was packed with commercial boats. Any of the questionable moorings we took (assuming you'd rather not anchor in 50 feet of water) would be pretty rolly.
This is anathema to the Kelp Fiction crew. I've know folks who like flat anchorages but Fred will sail for a month rather than stop somewhere that rolls a bit. Fred motored by as we were surveying the bleak coastline, quacked some colorful language over the winds howl and headed south. Saint Christopher here we come.
By one o clock we were heading down across the channel to Saint Christopher, Saint Kitts for short. It was a close hauled sail and decidedly less fun than the nice reach to Statia. Once we came along the north western tip of Saint Kitts the wind did its standard gust like crazy while backing trick, then flat died. We motorsailed in the gusty lee of Saint Kitts down to Basseterre, the capital.
We didn't really see any nice anchorages on the way down and the cursing guide was not very optimistic either. Basseterre was kinda bleak but it did have a big industrial looking cruise ship dock and a small marina. The town itself is large and has some really nice areas. There are also some not so nice areas. Stay out of New Town and Irish Town.
I don't really like marinas, unless they are un-marinas like Saint Barts. The whole fun of being out and about on a boat in beautiful far flung places just doesn't come through when you are in a marina. Good for working on the boat and loading/unloading guest but not for me in general. This marina looked like the only shelter here however and it was getting on towards four in the afternoon.
We were a little bit ahead of KFII so we hailed them and all agreed to park for the night. It was pretty windy as Hideko and I maneuvered on to the fuel dock to fill up. Hideko is getting great at handling the lines and her throwing arm is impressive. She used to chuck the lines two feet out right into the water while we were still 10 feet off the dock. Now she waits until we're on and hands them over, or in this case as the bow was blowing off, does a clean 7 foot side arm toss right into the dock hands chest.
Kelp Fiction came in and we helped them on to the dock. Everything here is stern to with mooring balls for the bow line. It is nice to be a cat because the mono hulls have to go two to a slip, your neighbor may not tie up as nicely as you do. Unfortunately a fairly rude day charter skipper took my spot as we were getting ready to move. The dock master was fairly upset but the guy just parked and left. We ended up on the fuel dock for the night.
Everyone was tired from a long day but the dock master insisted we go to clear in. It was six PM and I was a little skeptical. Cindy and I did as we were told however and went over to the cruise ship dock. Surprisingly customs and the harbor master were both in. The customs officer was a character. He was fun and informative to talk to but I think a little sleep deprived. He works 48 hours on and 72 off. In the end he didn't have the right forms. So back tomorrow. We stopped at the harbor master and checked in with them for about $20 EC. It is 2.67 eastern Caribbean dollars to the US dollar so that's pretty cheap. All of the former British colonies use the EC. The French folks are pretty much Euro these days. Everyone takes US, though they may work you over a little with the exchange rate.
After wrapping up with the harbor folks we headed back to the marina. The security at the marina is great. Concrete walls and wire fences with full time guards. Not all that pretty but you certainly feel safe. The cruise ship pavilions packed with duty free stores and the Caribbean's 4,367th watch, jewelry, booze and perfume stores are somewhere between done and half way done. There's a lot of construction on the warf.
No problem for me, I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

06/14/2007, Saint Barts
Fred, Cindy, Jill, Hideko and I rented a car today and circumnavigated Saint Barts. As you drive up the hill toward the air port your get to an area with nice shopping some resorts on the coast (sushi on the beach anyone?) and some great eateries.
As you continue on north you get into a more sparse setting with a lot of natural beauty. Many parts of Saint Barts are still not accessible by road. Anse De Colombier is one of those places and looks like a great anchorage largely for that reason.
The Atlantic side of Saint Barts has beautiful beaches and lots of rough rocky coastline as well. We stopped at two beaches and both were fantastic. My personal favorite was Anse de Grande Saline. As the name implies there is a large salt pond inland of the beach where you park the car. It is stinky. Once you get to the beach though all ill aromas are forgotten. This has to be one of the top ten beaches in the Carib. We spent a good part of the day swimming and playing in the waves. The sand is perfect and the bottom is pure sand so you don't have to worry about slicing your feet up or squashing marine life.
A great day only slightly overshadowed by the fact that tomorrow we would sail away.
When we returned to the boat we noticed that the quay was getting packed. There were four or five mega yachts in residence now. The harbor staff work in the office right where we're tied up and it is funny to hear their shtick. "You can tie up along side for now but we may have you come stern to if more boats arrive." They told us that every day we were there. They did ask Kelp Fiction to move onto the moorings in the parking lot 100 feet away this morning so that a boat could come in to get water but other than that things are pretty slow off season.
It must be amazing at Christmas time when the place is packed with 120 footers stern to one after another and the outer harbor has boats anchored half way to Saint Martin. I think I'll watch the video.

A redistribution question - very simple posted 03/14/2007
When you redistribute between from EIGRP into OSPF, You could set a metric and Tag using a route-map and say "redistribute eigrp xx subnets route-map EIGRP_OSPF. And the route-map reads: Route-map EIGRP_OSPF Set metric 50 Set tag 85 Also you can directly redistribute using "redistribute eigrp xx subnets metric 50 tag 85" under ospf. What is the difference between these two methods? I don't see anything. I have faced this exact case at least 4 times during vendor labs practices. I always choose the direct method, whereas the vendor solution guide mostly picks the route-map method. What makes them to choose this path.? There may be a remote chance of putting more route filtering in later stage on the same route redistribution, so you could modify or expand the same route-map... but other than this.. in plain vanilla redistribution, does it really matter.?

Much Resolution Do I Need for a Good Photo?

Connecting Resolution to Photo Size
What Today's Printers Can Offer
From Camera to Printer
Imagine this: You're serious about producing high-quality photos, so you buy a good digital camera. You spend hours capturing beautiful scenery and the memorable moments of your life. Next, you want to print out your pictures and put them in an album, or even blow them up and frame them. But how do you know your printer will be up to the task?
As you probably know, your ability to produce high-quality printouts does partially depend on the resolution of your digital camera. In general, higher resolution will result in higher quality prints, so an 8-megapixel camera—which can capture up to 8 million pixels in a single image—is capable of giving you better prints than a 2-megapixel camera.
But how does camera resolution translate into printout quality? In other words, how can you make sure that your printer will do justice to your best photography work?
Set Your Camera Correctly
First things first—make sure you're taking pictures at the optimal setting for printing. Even the most advanced digital camera in the world won't take the best pictures it's capable of taking if you don't program it to do so. So, always check to make sure your camera is set on the highest resolution.
High-resolution images do take up much more space on your memory card—and later on, the hard drive of your computer—but it's a small price to pay for outstanding printouts. So, unless you're absolutely certain that you will only be viewing your pictures on a computer screen (where lower resolution is acceptable), it is a good idea to shoot all your pictures at the highest resolution your camera provides.
Connecting Resolution to Photo Size
Once you've set your camera on the highest resolution possible, what picture sizes will you be capable of printing at high quality? That depends on the megapixel capacity of your camera. To come up with an accurate answer, we have to do a little bit of math.
An 8-megapixel camera captures up to 8 million pixels per photo. To ensure good print quality, you will want to print at about 300 dots per inch (dpi) or higher, which we'll consider to be roughly the same thing as pixels per inch. Suppose your 8-megapixel camera takes a picture at 3200x2400. To calculate the photo size that will print at acceptable quality at this resolution, divide each side by 300 dpi. So, 3200 divided by 300 is 10.67, and 2400 divided by 300 is 8. Therefore, you will be able to print an 8"x10" picture with good quality. Similarly, you could use the 1600x1200 resolution setting to print a 4"x6" photo.
If you're planning to use an image editing program to increase the pixels per inch of your photos onscreen before printing them, keep in mind that the program will decrease the dimensions of your photo to compensate. The program will essentially scrunch the pixels together to eliminate tiny white spaces and the "washed-out" look they cause. That will cause the total image size to shrink as the quality increases. So, if you want to produce high-quality prints of large photos, you'll need to use a powerful camera that's set on the highest possible setting.
What Today's Printers Can Offer
Once you've figured out the ideal resolution on your camera for the picture sizes you plan on printing, it's time to take a look at what today's printers are capable of delivering. Canon PIXMA printers can print resolutions as high as 9600x2400 dpi, depending on the model. But it's not all about resolution. Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE) uses a next-generation 3,072-nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as one picoliter for smoother, virtually grain-free images. Some Canon printers also feature high-intensity Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta inks, which expand the fine-tuning capabilities of the conventional four printer inks.
In addition, Canon PIXMA printers can print borderless 4"x6" photos in as little as 21 seconds*, which means that printing your latest shots at home can give you comparable quality to a photo lab at a much faster speed.
* Photo print speeds are based on the standard mode driver setting using photo test pattern(s) and select Canon Photo Paper. Print speed measured as soon as first page begins to feed into printer and will vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document complexity, print mode, types of paper used and page coverage.

Busy night expected for Dunmore Council
A new borough manager, a new tax question to place on May's election ballot.
By the end of today, both are possibilities in Dunmore borough.
Council will convene tonight and could very likely vote on the millage rate for a referendum on the May ballot. The referendum would ask residents to approve or deny a special tax solely to fund the Fire Department operations in 2011. While the decision will ultimately be up to the voters, it is council that will decide the millage rate for the referendum.
The borough's rough estimate for the department's 2011 operations was about $1.5 million, or just over 18 mills. However, the borough's latest revision of the cost estimates released Friday puts the 2011 Fire Department operations at more than $2 million, or nearly 25 mills. That figure does not include the borough's paid pension contributions.
A mill is a $1 tax for every $1,000 in assessed property value. Each mill in Dunmore brings in about $82,000.
While the cost to run the department in 2011 is estimated at 25 mills, that does not mean residents would be voting for an additional 25-mill tax increase. Council is prohibited at setting the referendum millage above 25 mills, but the actual millage residents are voting on could be much lower.
Council could have more help with financial decisions if the board votes to hire a new borough manager tonight. The position has been vacant since July, though Borough Treasurer Denise Muraca served as the interim borough manager through the end of 2009.
At a recent council meeting, President Timothy Burke said filling the position soon was a necessity. Fourteen applied for the position, and council interviewed their top candidates in executive session last week. Because employment applications of individuals who are not hired for a position are exempt under the state's Right to Know Law, council did not have to disclose the list of applicants to the public, but the vote to hire the borough manager must take place at a public meeting.
The hiring will be Dunmore's third borough manager in three years. Solicitor Thomas Cummings has said council a $40,000 salary for the position.
Council meets at 7 p.m. tonight in the Dunmore Community Center.

The change in the borough's charter replaced a strong burgess with a weak mayor form of government. The power of the borough council was increased at the expense of the mayor's position. Eventually, the mayor became mostly a glad-hander and there was no position of leadership in the borough. Therefore, the problem is with the borough charter. A strong mayor is desperately needed. A borough manager is not the answer. This position would only be indirectly answerable to the people of Dunmore. Our citizens must demand a decisive leader if our problems are to be solved. This leader must be elected by the borough-at-large. If he or she is to be successful, we have to support him or her after the election. Unfortunately, the way out of this mess will not be easy. It will take strong action and some people's feelings will be bruised, but it can be done. This is the answer to the political problem.The economic problem must be solved as well. This borough needs businesses here that can produce the taxes necessary for borough operations. Where will these businesses and industries locate? With an area of only 8.7 square miles, further growth is impossible. Dunmore is land poor. However, there is a solution to this problem. The answer is annexation. Annexation of those areas southeast of Dunmore--Roaring Brook Township, Elmhurst, and Moscow. Today, there is no transportation barrier separating Dunmore from these communities. Our combined population and large land area will produce an enhanced community in which new investments in housing and industry can be profitable. Annexation will be difficult; yet, it must be achieved. Otherwise, our borough will slide into perpetual stagnation and an even worse financial morass.Leadership is the answer. Fix the borough charter. Then, find that leader. Elect that man or woman to fill the leadership role in the borough and support this leader. Continued back-biting and nay-saying will only produce disaster. Before, I go to Mt. Carmel, I want to see change for the better in Dunmore, prosperity and happiness instead of difficult times. Ask for God's help too.Wake up Dunmore, the choice is yours.

Vienna Center for Disarmament
|International platform for disarmament and non-proliferation dialogue, research, and education
Third Intensive Course on Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmament for Diplomats and Practitioners Completed at the VCDNP
Course • 24-28 September 2012
An intensive course focused on nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament policy issues was held in Vienna, Austria on September 24-28, 2012.
Posted: 4 October 2012
On September 24-28, 2012, the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) welcomed a new group of diplomats and other practitioners to the Vienna Center for their nuclear nonproliferation course series. Twenty-four course participants, selected on a competitive basis, represented twenty-three countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The majority of participants were officials from diplomatic missions and international organizations based in Vienna; others came from foreign affairs ministries in their respective capitals, including some traveling from as far away as Madagascar, Lesotho, and Costa Rica.
Course participants
The course program covered key issues related to the nuclear nonproliferation regime, including the history and current status of the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) as well as the NPT review process; an overview of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and implementation of IAEA safeguards; multilateral export control regimes; nuclear-weapon-free zones; nuclear security and nuclear terrorism; nuclear arms control and disarmament, and other topics.
The lectures were delivered by CNS and VCDNP staff members, senior experts from international nonproliferation organizations, including the IAEA and the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), and other well-known specialists in the field. The list of speakers included: William Potter, Leonard Spector, Gaukhar Mukhatzhanova, Elena Sokova, Nikolai Sokov, Ambassador Nabil Fahmy, Chen Kane from CNS and VCDNP; Robert Kelley (ret.), Tariq Rauf, Laura Rockwood, Jill Cooley and Carrie Mathews from the IAEA; Nikita Perfilyev from the CTBTO, Patricia Lewis from Chatham House, and Mark Fitzpatrick from the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
The course included a tour of the operational research reactor at the Institute of Atomic and Subatomic Physics in Vienna, where the participants were able to look into the core of the reactor and even sit in the control room. For many participants, this was their first experience visiting a nuclear facility.
Course participants
Course participants
At the end of the course, participants completed an anonymous survey aimed at assessing the success of the event. The following are some of the assessments given by participants:
"This course is more than very useful to my professional career. I will highly advise my colleagues to attend the course."
"The information I gained during this course is hugely helpful. It gives me the power to move forward confidently."
"I really appreciate the informal setting of dealing with the issues and the mix of participants to discuss issues which we may not be done in discussions at the UN."
"I feel much more comfortable with the history and language than before, which amounts to crafting sharper arguments in favor of disarmament and against proliferation."

A celebration of bugs
By the Nebraska Statewide
I like bugs. I think they're fascinating and fun to watch and I like knowing that they do so much good for us. I didn't always think that way. I can distinctly remember as a child being mostly afraid of bugs, which is probably our natural inclination.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
First and foremost, design a workspace that is built just for work. Don't work in front of the TV, but give yourself an allocated workspace and make sure it is equipped with all the things you need to complete tasks.
Next, start early. Don't allow yourself to sleep in simply because you are making your own schedule. Turn yourself into a morning person and stick to a set schedule every day. Not only will this ensure you are getting tasks done, but if you want to meet a friend for lunch or dinner, you'll likely already have your work done.
At the beginning of each day, create a list of goals you hope to accomplish. This will give you something to work towards during the day. If you don't have goals to work toward, you probably won't do anything at all.
For each of the tasks on your to-do list, allocate a specific amount of time. If you give yourself an hour for a task, don't allow yourself to take longer than that. Just get it done, scratch it off your list and move on to the next task.
To ensure a productive day, try to avoid the Internet. As hard as that may be, simply checking your social networking sites or reading a few articles can eat up more time than you think. Before you know it, an hour will have passed and you'll be even more behind in your work.
Lastly, take breaks. Keep these short and stick to a time limit, but also give yourself enough time to reset. Take a walk, do some exercise, anything that will help you clear your mind for a few minutes.

The government has implemented a programme to make Sri Lanka
trilingual and every child of the country should learn Sinhala, Tamil
and English to accomplish this mission, President Mahinda Rajapaksa
The President was addressing a gathering at Jaffna Central College
after opening a swimming pool at the school premises yesterday.
The new swimming pool of the Jaffna Central College was constructed
at a cost of Rs.17 million by the Tharunyata Hetak Organization to help
develop the skills of local swimmers in Jaffna peninsula.
The Tharunyata Hetak organisation provided Rs. 13 million for the
project while the balance Rs. four million was borne by the Northern
Provincial Council.
Addressing the students on the occasion, the President said that the
facilities enjoyed by the students in the South will be made available
to those in the North as well.
"In addition, the children in villages should also receive equal
facilities that are enjoyed by the students of Colombo schools", he
pointed out.

taken to increase educational opportunities for the next generation amd
to create a better atmosphere to augment the health facilities of the
future generations. The President said that sports help promote peaceful
He said that sports also helps create a person who can accept victory
and defeat in the same stride.
Speaking in Tamil, the President pointed out that he has never
forgotten the Motherland though a certain segment is engaged in a futile
attempt to deter the ongoing development drive by resorting to various
tactics. He requested the public to be cautious about such activities.
Jaffna Central College is the only school in the region that has a
swimming pool. The school was founded in 1817.
At present, around 1.800 students are studying in this school with an
academic staff of 114. The President thanked the Tharunyata Hetak
organization for the contribution they made in helping construct the
swimming pool. He also spoke to the students of the school.

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles quarterback Nick Foles still hasn't had a pass intercepted this season, but he came close on Sunday.
Cornerback Patrick Peterson intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter, but it was negated because of a holding call on safety Tyrann Mathieu.
So Foles' streak is intact. He has 19 touchdown passes this year, including three on Sunday. Foles, in his second year out of Arizona, is one touchdown pass away from Peyton Manning's record of 20 touchdown passes without an interception to start a season.
"It could have changed the course of the game," Foles said of the negated interception. "I put the ball in harm's way. I'm thankful the call happened. At the same time, during the course of the game I felt like there were some calls that went against us, too."
Foles completed 21 of 34 attempts for 237 yards and three touchdowns. Asked about Foles' decision making on Sunday, coach Chip Kelly replied: "Besides the one he threw that Patrick caught, I don't have any issue with what he was doing today."
A piece missing
Cardinals running back Andre Ellington was inactive for Sunday's game after suffering a left-knee injury in practice on Thursday. Ellington was listed as questionable, but it doesn't sound as if he was close to playing against the Eagles.
"There's no way I'm pushing him; he's too young," coach Bruce Arians said of the rookie. "We'll get him right before he plays again."
Quarterback Carson Palmer said losing Ellington, especially late in the week, had a significant impact on Sunday.
"He's very unique and special," Palmer said. "You have certain things built in for him. Especially against this team (the Eagles), we had some things we really liked. That's what happens in this game and this league, and you have to roll with the punches."
No returns
Peterson continues to struggle in his punt-return duties for the Cardinals. Peterson was able to return just one punt for 3 yards, but the biggest miscue came on a punt he didn't field.
Late in the third quarter, Peterson let a punt hit and roll to the Cardinals 17 because he thought officials had blown the play dead.
Instead, they had thrown a penalty flag for the Cardinals having 12 men on the field. The Eagles declined the penalty and took the 69-yard punt.
"I thought they blew it dead," Peterson said. "It's a miscue on my behalf."
A different view
The Cardinals tried to resist criticizing officials after the game but ended up doing it in a roundabout way.
"We just have to start a little faster, especially on the road where you're not going to get any calls," Peterson said. "We know that when we're on the road we're playing against a team and the officials, as well."
Kelly, no surprise, didn't see that point of view. After the game, he was asked about the holding penalty on Cardinals outside linebacker Matt Shaughnessy with 1:12 remaining.
"Yeah, they held the crap out of him," Kelly said, referring to tight end James Casey. "It was a great call."
That caused some laughter in the room, but Kelly was serious.
"Watch it on film. He's supposed to run a route into the flat, and there was no one else left."
Watch your language
Brad Smith, an Eagles receiver, took a direct snap from center on first and goal from the 6 in the second quarter.
But do not confuse that formation with the "wildcat" used by some teams, Kelly said.
"It was not a wildcat play," Kelly said. "It's just Brad Smith plays quarterback. So let's straighten that out right now. We don't run the wildcat. It's just a play."
It's a play that didn't work. Smith fumbled the ball and lost 4 yards. The Eagles ended up kicking a field goal.
Wildcat reunion
Foles and Cardinals cornerback Antoine Cason, who also went to Arizona, swapped jerseys after the game.
"Antoine's one of the all-time great Wildcats," Foles said. "He came back to Arizona to train while I was there. I got to know him real well."

Kelsey P.
I am a recent May 2014 graduate of the University of Michigan with a BA in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience and a Gender & Health minor. While at U of M, I have taken a great deal of classes in child development, including developmental psychology, language development, social development, and cognitive development.
I have a lot of child care experience with a wide range of ages. My most relevant experience for a full-time position was during the summer of 2012 when I was a full-time nanny for a family with 4 children. Their ages were 4, 5, 7, and 9. Highlights of our summer included weekly "park crawls", arts & crafts projects, sidewalk chalk drawing, bike riding, nature walks, and playing soccer together.
Before that, I volunteered at a preschool for four months, working with 3 to 5-year-old children. Additionally, I spent four months as a tutor with a day care. There were three children ranging in age from 4 to 5. The majority of the rest of my experience comes from being a summer camp counselor for four years with ages ranging from 7-18.
All these experiences mean that I have the skills to safely care for your children and the tools to make it fun. I strongly believe in active babysitting as opposed to the passive kind. I encourage reading, and my experience through a national organization means that I have tools to help with literacy skills as necessary, based on your child's age and development.
Also, especially in the summer, I place an emphasis on outdoor activities - I enjoy seeing kids have fun in the great outdoors, whether that means playing a pickup game of backyard soccer or T-ball or heading to the park or pool for a day of fun. I recognize that it is important for a child's development for them to have semi-structured days, but please know also that I am extremely flexible as far as activities go. Generally, if an activity is okay with you, it's fine with me too! In addition to child care, I enjoy cooking and can provide meal preparation as necessary.
I am CPR/AED certified at a health care provider level for all ages. I have taken the class to become an Emergency Medical Responder (though I haven't yet taken the certification exam due to having such a busy year). This means I'm able to handle a lot of emergencies that could potentially arise.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you think I could be a good match for your family!
Thank you for your consideration.

When I use Nero (I've tested 6.6.0 version, Nero 6.3.0 version and Nero 7 premium version...) it starts to take files in cache, so it's searching for 5 minutes at least, screen freezes a little bit and it starts burning... but it stops and says that the media disc is not available !!
Nevertheless, using clone DVD program I have no problem to burn a DVDR+ it's very fast (about 6 minutes) and no error appears, the DVDR+ is read with no error by the writer
- the second problem is that I don't find the firmware for this writer, I've searched in topics but only 2 for CIBOX and it's USB
I've looked for BTC one but I don't know if it's really compatible...
Could you help me please ?
I hope you understand cause I don't speak english as well...

Using Stem Cells to Make, Study, and Sort Useful Forebrain Cells
Unbeknownst to many, stem cells have been used to treat patients for over four decades. Although not known at the time, bone marrow transplants – which are used commonly to treat blood disorders and cancers – are nothing more than transplants of hematopoetic stem cells. As a physician-scientist, this means to me that stem cell-based therapies for other human disorders are not questions of if, but when.
My goal is to help us turn 'when' into 'now', by investigating mouse neural stem cell (NSC) findings with important clinical potential, determining the strength of their potential, then turning them into clinical realities by using human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). As a neuropathologist who specializes in the problems of infants and children, mice and their NSCs have helped us greatly to understand how and why brain development sometimes goes wrong. Now, with the advent of hESC culture systems, we have cells that provide better models of human brain disorders and can be used to treat them.
In our first Aim, we will try to make choroid plexus epithelial (CPE) cells in a dish. Although not famous, CPE cells are extremely important for brain health and have tremendous clinical potential. The inability to grow CPE cells in culture has been a roadblock, but we have solved at least part of this puzzle. In this Aim, we use mice to figure out the factors needed to make CPE, then apply this knowledge to ESC cultures. We also look for adult CPE cells that can grow. Either avenue, if successful, would open up a number of direct applications for CPE cells in drug testing and clinical therapies.
In the second Aim, we try to make neural stem cells that can 'sort' themselves. Sorting is the process of purifying desired cells away from unwanted ones, a general issue for regenerative medicine. If given the opportunity, some stem cells may be smart enough to sort themselves, and we have identified a factor that may provide this opportunity. In this Aim, we use mice to understand better what this factor does and use this factor in ESC cultures. If successful, this would provide a simple way to purify one type of stem cell for clinical applications, and the rationale to use self-sorting as a general approach.
The third Aim also deals with the problem of sorting. We took an approach shown by others to distinguish highly similar cell types, but not stem cells. Remarkably, this approach not only detects subtle differences between stem cells, but apparently informs us about the kinds of cells that each stem cell can make. To our knowledge, this is a very unique capability. In this Aim, we use this bioengineering tool on a wide range of cells to see how well this principle holds up and to apply this principle to sort cells. If successful, this would be a brand-new way, which could be used alone or along with existing methods, to get the best cells for all sorts of clinical applications.
Our goal is to use human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to help us understand human brain development and its disorders better and to make cells to treat these disorders. The project has three Aims: 1) to make choroid plexus epithelial cells, which have significant and largely untapped therapeutic potential, 2) to allow stem cells to sort themselves, which could be a simple general approach for purifying cells, and 3) to enrich for stem cells with specific properties using a bioengineering technology with unique capabilities. If successful in generating and purifying novel cell types with clinical utility, this project should have immediate and direct benefits to the State of California and its citizens, including pharmaceutical companies, basic scientists, clinicians, and patients. In addition, as a culture model for human brain development, the hESC studies should provide insights into developmental brain disorders that could lead to improved diagnostics for patients and their families.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind : Collectors Edition
Charlie Kaufman has made a living playing with the minds of the people who watch his movies by playing with the minds of the characters in his movies. He toyed with the idea of replacing someone elses mind with your own in Being John Malcovich, and explored the head of a brilliant but troubled game show host turned assassin/spy in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. His latest voyage, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind considers a world where one can erase unwanted and painful memories, even an entire person, from ones head -- forever.
The Movie:
Did a beloved pet just pass away? Does that childhood bully still haunt your dreams? Perhaps youd like to experience the chilling joy of watching The Sixth Sense again, for the first time. Or maybe the amazing relationship you thought would last forever ended in painful disaster? If any of the above sound like your life, Lacuna Inc. has the solution to all your heartbreak and mental anguish needs. You see, Lacuna can erase any and all unwanted memories from your mind, allowing you to enjoy the life you always thought you wanted or at least allowing you to erase the life you never thought youd want to forget.
Joel doesnt want to remember Clementine any more. He wants to completely erase her from his thoughts and eliminate memories of their troubled relationship from his daily life. Of course, its only fair since Clementine erased him first. Why should she have all the fun of a new relationship, baggage free? Joel sets out to employ the services of the same man who wiped Clems slate clean, one Dr. Howard Mierzwiak of Lacuna Inc. In what should be a simple, standard procedure of erasing recollections, Joel discovers just how painful getting rid of painful memories can be. But Joels erasure brings with it a series of other discoveries about his own life, his relationship with Clem, and the personnel of Lacuna Inc., revealing the heartrending darker side of the memory elimination business.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the most original and visually stunning movies of the year. Yeah, I know, every other critic in the world has pretty much said the same thing, but that ought to be a pretty good indicator of just how amazing a film it really is. Most people have spent their time raving about Kaufmanns brilliant and intriguing writing while others have praised director Michel Gondrys (pronounced Mee-shell now you can sound clever at the water cooler tomorrow) chutzpah as a revolutionary visual artist. What part of this film stunned me the most? The fact that Gondry found a way to rein in the childish antics of Jim Carrey and make an almost respectable dramatic actor out of the man.
Jim Carrey has haunted my dreams ever since he abandoned his usual fare playing roles like Ace Ventura and the Cable Guy and tried cutting it as a serious leading man in movies like The Truman Show and The Majestic. His utter ruination of How the Grinch Stole Christmas still makes me cringe when I hear the word Whoville. No matter how hard he tries, he always ends up flaunting his Carreyisms across the screen, destroying moment after moment with his silly comedics as though his time on In Living Color left him with a permanent zaniness hang-over. Whats worse, it seems that most directors gobble up every second of it, hoping perhaps to enthrall their ticket buying audiences by tainting their movies with Carreys lack of self-control. Not Gondry. The same brilliant mind that has mastered the use of light and shadow to achieve striking visual images of the tormented mind has also tamed the wild Carrey. Under Gondrys careful and precise guidance, he delivers a performance that not only doesnt offend, but actually moves me.
Gondry probably didnt have to try nearly so hard with the rest of his cast. Kate Winslet, whose performance has already earned her award nominations with many more likely to follow, is absolutely mesmerizing as Clem. Tom Wilkinson gives a beautifully nuanced performance as the well-meaning doctor behind it all. The rest of the cast, including Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and the fresh-out-of-the-Hobbit-hole Elijah Wood, all slip precisely into place, proving if nothing else, that Gondry knows how to fill out the perfect cast list.
Movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind dont come along very often. When one of the more original screenwriters of our day writes one of his best works, and gets a visionary director at the top of his game to direct it, and that director manages to extract almost miraculously perfect performances from his actors, it is a rare and enjoyable achievement indeed. This film is a weird and enchanting piece of cinematic storytelling that proves original movie making is far from being a dead art.
The Disc:
As far as collectors editions go, fans of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind have gotten the shaft. The good folks at Focus and Universal must be hoping that people buying their special release will have had their memories of the original DVD erased. Otherwise the fans are in for some serious disappointment.
The packaging couldnt be any cheaper. A shiny foil covering masks the cheap cardboard case which houses a flimsy (if not colorful) cardboard folder which has just enough room for the two discs it contains. If one of the discs in the case looks familiar, it should. Its the exact same DVD originally released for the movie nothing added whatsoever. Along with the feature, it contains a making-of featurette, commentary with the director and writer, a cute piece where Jim Carrey and Michel Gondry banter back and forth for awhile, some deleted scenes, a music video, the films trailer, and a patridge in a pair tree. Thats all well and good, but we had all that months ago.
So what is new? The first thing to pop out of the cardboard sleeve is shameless award pandering. Ive never seen anything like it before and it makes me believe this Collectors Edition package was put together as a screener for the Academy Awards. Its a dozen-or-so-page glossy booklet with images from the movie. That unto itself would be rather classy, except that the pages are then cluttered with excerpts from the rave reviews that various popular movie reviewers wrote for the film. Even that would be forgivable if they had included something from the Cinema Blend review, but it did not. For shame. Touted as a collectors booklet, its nothing more than barefaced award nomination whoring and the DVD distributors should be ashamed of having included it in the set.
The only other new addition is a second disc that isnt nearly impressive enough to make this a Collectors Edition package. With just over an hours worth of bonus materials on board, it includes some additional making-of featurettes and an impromptu reunion conversation between the director and his starlet, Kate Winslet. Theres an all too easy to find easter egg with fifteen seconds of a silly animation, supposedly spawned from Joels notebook. Hardly worth getting excited about.
The only truly redeeming feature on the disc is an additional deleted scenes reel that includes around twenty minutes of unused footage. A real treasure, it actually has some startling scenes that would have made for great moments in the movie. Why they were left out is anyones guess (Im not going to start questioning Gondrys genius) but they are an absolute must watch for anyone who enjoyed the movie and wanted to see more.
Unless you are a true die-hard fan of the movie, or you havent yet purchased a copy of the original DVD release, there is no reason to pick up a copy of this so-called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Collectors Edition. In fact, even the die-hards may want to steer clear and wait for the inevitable ultimate special edition that will no doubt trickle out in a year or so. Had this been the original release DVD set, it would easily be a four star package, but as a collectors piece it hardly measures up.

All this talk about engines, high pressure tanks. Is he going to space?
All this talk about engines, high pressure tanks. Is he going to space?
Phantomcow's mind has been very busy these past few days. This all might amount to nothing, we shall see
Phantomcow is the polar opposite of Merton, but somehow is same in the fact that I sometimes laugh at him. Even though he's completely serious.
A lot of weekends I'll ride my bike through Dover. Strangely, I haven't recently. Perhaps a guardian angel is watching out for me?
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
I think Phantomcow is a Mad Scientist In Training.
"Real wars of words are harder to win. They require thought, insight, precision, articulation, knowledge, and experience. They require the humility to admit when you are wrong. They recognize that the dialectic is not about making us look at you, but about us all looking together for the truth."
Word is he has been reading this book night and day...
Everytime he posts something, I try to read it and understand it and read it again and try to understand it again. All of a sudden, I get this tremendous pressure in my brain, my mind starts to blur, my eyes glaze over and my hands get all numb. And I just sit there. Staring. And staring.
Then someone will yahoo me and the little "knock knock knock" scares the bejeebers outta me.
The answer is thinking up more emo questions to ask. You really ought to start a blog and write useless things nobody is interested in reading.
Mes compaingnons cui j'amoie et cui j'aim,... Me di, chanson.
knock knock knock
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
If his experiment works he will be called Phantombull. Growing up.
If the experiment fails, we may have to call him phantom ox.
Phantomcow reminds me of the dude in this commercial, this is what he needs a pressure tank for

I agree - very lovely lady. It doesn't get much better than this.
Lovely cute girl, really enjoyed this alot.
Superb work - she looks great and she looks to be enjoying herself. Great stuff
Really nice - great looking model being treated rudely. Excellent
Looks great to me - hope she's back for more sometime.
Black women don't normally float my boat but I think I'm a changed person after seeing this. One of the hottest things I've seen in ages.
Stacy was in the first bondage pics I ever downloaded from the internet and she's always welcome in my fantasies. There's something about the shape of her that just begs to be bound.

I was in my LBS asking about a wheel build today, an my wrench suggested using Ritchey trekking 700 comp OCR rims instead of Mavic 719s. The Richeys are about 1/2 the cost of the Mavics, and I really trust my shops recommendations.
Anyone have experience with these? I can't find much info online, and Harris used to sell them but doesn't seem to have them available online--it's possible Ritchey's not making them anymore. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
