I had a packet of chipolatas which I used and added a tin of canellini beans so that they bulked out the meal (which worked well). Having seen the comments abut too liquid a sauce, I rinsed the tomato tin out with a little water and that was fine. This was a very easy meal to prepare! I had a baguette so I cut this into rounds (4 for each person) and spread the buttery/garlicky/cream cheesy mix on these before grilling. The toasts were a great hit. I would add some dried herbs to the casserole next time - basil and/or oregano to strengthen the flavour - and some garlic and a drop of chilli to warm it up. It is a very flexible recipe!
8th Apr, 2015
Absolutely loved this. Had a terrible cold but wanted something delicious, hearty and comforting. This was so easy and I simplified it further by buying ready-made garlic bread. I made it with the following tweaks and it was absolutely sensational: - Instead of chopped tomatoes I used a 350ml carton of Italian tomatoes with garlic and olive oil (recommend the extra sauce) - I used an extra pepper as per several peoples' suggestions - Couldn't get fresh basil so used dried, and it turned out fine (could still taste a hint of basil). This was SUCH a tasty supper - just what I needed. Would highly recommend. Unbelievably easy too. Love you BBCGF. x
18th Nov, 2014
This was delicious! As others have done, I only added 3 red onions and an additional pepper. I made some little roasties to go on the side which we enjoyed with it. We will try the garlic toasts next time. My 2.5 year old wasn't keen on the roasted veg but I'll whizz it up for a tomato sauce for him next time. This is definitely going to become a regular family meal in our house!

Super Duper recipe! Minimal fuss after work and super scrummy! I used turkey sausages and put a teaspoon of brown sugar in as the ingredients list didn't match up with the recipe and found that was maybe a touch too sweet but still nice! Clean plates for both me and the hubby, will be making again :)

Editors Shelf
From Parameters, Summer 2008, pp. 113-15.
Several years ago while secluded in one of the bathroom stalls within the inner sanctum of the Army War College I overheard a member of our Editorial Board counseling a student regarding a rejection notice received from our office. The words of wisdom went something like this, Those who cannot writeedit. There is probably a greater degree of truth in that statement than most editors are willing to admit. In the spirit of complete disclosure, however, there are a limited few that have mastered both worlds. Of course, those successful few must rely on wit and wisdom periodically interspersed with the tools of the trade. One such tool just entering the marketplace is Professor Bruce Flemings Bill the Goats Adult Refresher Guide to Writing. Not a Strunk & White or even The Chicago Manual of Style, the author draws on years of teaching English to midshipmen at Annapolis to produce this premiere how to guide. Fleming focuses on the reasons why the rules exist, as opposed to reviewing the down and dirty specifics of language. This refreshing approach enables the reader to immediately (and hopefully for the long-term) understand why we write the way we do. Even if you are a grammar expert (or editor) give Bill a try. You will be better for the experience.
My mind kept harkening back to Ronald Reagans shining city upon a hill while reading Dr. Kim R. Holmess latest work, Libertys Best Hope: American Leadership for the 21st Century. The author, Vice President of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation, also served in the Bush Administration as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs. Holmes has penned a marvelous work, drawing on his expertise in foreign policy to provide insight regarding Americas role in todays global environment. The author believes America must reassert herself if we are to regain our rightful stature as a strong and peace-loving nation. Dr. Holmes not only examines the reasons for the current anti-American sentiment running rampant around the globe, he also offers new and innovative solutions to overcoming these misguided feelings and perceptions. The author outlines courses of action that policymakers might exercise to resolve feelings of anti-Americanism, our dismal relationship with Europe, the War on Terrorism, issues associated with free trade, the fielding of a missile defense, and the ever-increasing lack of consensus at home and abroad. Holmes takes into account the ideological and actual domestic and international challenges when developing his blueprint for the future. This book is a must read for every American with a genuine interest in their nations future.
Two of Americas premier defense and security policy scholars, Thomas Donnelly and Frederick W. Kagan, have proven it does not take a weighty tome to an-
alyze Americas most pressing defense issue, the size and capability of our land forces. Ground Truth: The Future of U.S. Land Power succinctly examines in 155 pages the security interests impacting the future of land warfare. The authors pronounce, based on their analysis, that America needs an active duty, land force of one million personnel. Whether the reader agrees with the specifics of the authors recommendations or not, they will be hard-pressed to argue with the logic and scholarship that led to such a conclusion. Donnelly and Kagan argue that policymakers need to realize that it is the paucity of American land forces that limits our current military strategy and its execution. Their analysis leaves little doubt that if we are to be truly capable of meeting the challenges that exist across the entire spectrum of conflict we must generate a larger and more capable land force. Additionally, they call for a revitalization of the logistics, training, and support services that will support this new land force capability. The authors point to the fact that such an increase in capability, while costly, may be achieved with little more than a one percent increase in the gross domestic product over the next decade. Donnelly and Kagan masterfully make their case that the rebuilding of Americas land force capability is long overdue. The authors conclude with a call for a bipartisan commitment to the creation and maintenance of a new and revitalized land force capable of defending Americas status as the worlds sole military superpower.
Our friends at Praeger Security International continue to publish their multivolume series on topics related to security and intelligence. The latest in the series is the two-volume PSI Handbook of Global Security and Intelligence: National Approaches, edited by Stuart Farson, Peter Gill, Mark Phythian, and Shlomo Shpiro. Volume One: The Americas and Asia provides readers with an unprecedented and comprehensive look at national approaches to security and intelligence in several distinct and multicultural arenas. Each of the authors analyzes such topics as the strategic environment, the type of regimes found in a particular region, the impact of 9/11 on national relationships, international cooperation, and what the editors term national cultures of intelligence. Volume Two: Europe, the Middle East, and South Africa follows a similar methodology with even greater emphasis on national approaches to security organizations and intelligence gathering. Of special interest to students of the security and intelligence interface is the chapter in each of the volumes related to developments in the internationalization of intelligence. This series is a must have for the desks and reference shelves of every professional associated with the intelligence community.
Following on the theme of intelligence analysis is Analyzing Intelligence: Origins, Obstacles, and Innovations edited by Roger Z. George and James B. Bruce. Several months ago in this feature I lamented how a number of authors have written criticizing Americas intelligence agencies, their capabilities, and products. Sagacious criticism is a necessity if we, as a nation, are to improve our intelligence organizations and their procedures. Unfortunately, the majority of writers have not bothered to move beyond hyperbole and polemics. That is certainly not the case with this practical and wide-ranging study of intelligence analysis. The editors have done a superb job of seamlessly editing the work of a number of the worlds recognized experts from the fields of intelligence gathering and
analysis. Of special interest to readers should be those chapters related to the relationship between analysts and national-level security and policymakers. This book will be an invaluable resource for future analysts and those professionals currently involved in overcoming the enduring challenges associated with the role of intelligence in a free society.
Over the past few years there seems to have been a dearth of books related to Henry Kissinger and his associates during the Nixon years. That certainly was not true in the 1980s and 90s. This past year, however, a number of books were published about those who participated in Watergate and the following cover-up. There were even a few about the great man himself, President Richard M. Nixon. But Kissinger seemed to elude this deluge of revisionist writings. University of Wisconsin historian Jeremi Suri has stepped forward to fill that void. Suri has chronicled the political history of one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century in Henry Kissinger and the American Century. Suri omits much of Kissingers early life, but is faithful in reminding the reader throughout that a great part of his realist views were influenced by those childhood years in Weimar and Nazi Germany. The author provides readers with the philosophical rationale for many of Kissingers actions while serving as national security adviser and secretary of state during the Cold War years of the Nixon presidency. Suri concludes that it was Kissingers belief that the United States was the only nation capable of assuring global security against the threat of tyranny that led to many of his realpolitik decisions. This book provides readers with a picture of a complex individual who played a critical role in the survival of the free world during an extremely volatile era.
It is always somewhat rejuvenating to see one of the journals former authors or reviewers in print; that certainly is the case with Sean M. Maloneys latest book Enduring the Freedom: A Rogue Historian in Afghanistan. The subtitle tells readers what to expect, but it hardly prepares them for the level of detail and insight Maloney provides. The book is a first-hand account of actions by NATO and American units in Afghanistan. The highlight of the work, from this reviewers perspective, is the authors experiences resultant of his decision to hump the mountain backcountry of Afghanistan during Operation Valiant Strike. Although there are those who might question the wisdom of such a decision it certainly makes for exciting reading. Through a number of personal accounts the author provides previously unrevealed insight as to how Operation Enduring Freedom and the organization of the International Security Assistance Force came about.
Remember the admission that began this feature. Well, even this venerable editor makes an oversight or omission periodically; rarely a mistake. In the case of Major Brit Erslevs review of David Downings A South Divided: Portraits of Dissent in the Confederacy that appeared in the Spring 2008 issue of Parameters, I must admit to that rare mistake. In editing the first sentence of the last paragraph I inverted the authors last two words in the clause or his conclusions contentious. The result made it appear that the reviewer found the authors conclusion controversial, which was never his intent. I apologize to the author and reviewer for any confusion this might have caused. RHT

I'm trying to get a logo done for my mother-in-law. She just bought a plane. Now she needs napkins.
Crazy, unapologetic members of the Silent and G.I. Generation.
Image is a mock of the presidential seal. Should be similar to attached with a martini glass in the chest of the eagle, an iphone in one talon and a champagne bottle in the other. ( You can be creative with this other talon. I don't want to push martini and champagne. Like to have a third option. Booze, iPhone, and..something else).
Blue background in center and gold/khaki around outside. Wording around outside should be "Property of Gale Force One". If this isn't enough text to give a pretty good resemblance of the current seal, then perhaps the wording can be changed. I'll leave that up to you. Name of the plane is Gale Force One.
"E PLURIBUS UNUM" (above the eagle's head) should read, "G & H Airlines".
Any other questions, please ask.

And what is with this beleif in being baptised more than once ...where does that come from?
Baptists will re-baptize those who were baptized as infants because they consider believers' baptism by immersion to be the only valid baptism.
Tom,I hope you mean that baptism by immersion is the only valid baptism and not that infant baptism is invald.
I'm pretty much baptist in name only at this point, since I reject "OSAS", the pretrib rapture, Sola Scriptura, and the symbolic-only view of Baptism and Lord's Supper. However, I still respect the SBC's stand against the encroaching apostasy in Christendom which passes for "liberalism".
I am also thankful for the SBC's stand against liberalism - it's the most powerful American Christian group left standing against it.
Actually, my theory is that since Catholics pretty much voted solidly democrat prior to the abortion issue and homosexual marriage issue, it is looked on as odd when they stand with us on the Right. SBCers have voted rightwing since the democrats were the right wing party and probably will continue voting right wing until Jesus comes back again. IOW: "The SBC is opposing homosexual parades at DisneyLand? big woop! wheres the story line?"
Thus endeth my discussion of american poltics. BTW Nacho, who said that Islam quote?

Happy Carla Ryan crosses the lineIn the Men's ITT, Adam Hansen failed to deliver his promise of a double and came 11th to Michael Rogers gold at an amazing 47 plus km/h. Second place was Cameron Meyer, .06 sec behind.
The Road Races seemed pretty tough as most riders in the Men's and Women's didn't even finish. Carla Ryan smashed the field and a 30 years old bike mechanic from Sydney, Peter MacDonald, beat two pros (and team mates for Columbia/High Road) in a sprint finish. Now, that's the way to win a National Championship!
What a feeling!
Team Uniforms
A couple of things on that.
Firstly, just a personal observation, I noticed that the riders in the National Championship are allowed to wear their pro kits (full of adverting logos) when, in a State Championship or Open event in my town, commissaires and club officials make a big fuss when riders don't wear a club kit. I've seen riders have to turn their jersey inside out to be able to compete... Perhaps, the pro riders just cope with the fines that we, mortals, can't afford to pay. The inconsistency of the sport, I guess.In another note, who wants to wear a pro kit like the one below. It is the ugliest kit I've seen by a pro team. I can even imagine Hincapie, who has his own cycling clothing label (as a New Yorker would call his brand) opening the package and going:
- I am not wearing this s..t!!!
OK, if you are getting paid big money, you might just try not to look in the mirror before a hit out...
Another session this afternoon, one tomorrow and then a break as I will have some shoulder treatment done, which will certainly put me out of action for a couple of days. But all good!

Kellie Pickler Covers Maxim's 2012 Military Issue
Country cutie Kellie Pickler is a proud supporter of the troops. She is taking things a step further by appearing on the cover of the 2012 military issue of men's interest mag Maxim. While Pickler has done several USO tours and has performed for the troops domestically, she gives the servicemen a little something extra to enjoy with her sexy spread.
Since it is a dude's publication, Pickler looks like a modern pin up gal in her attire -- a military green bathing suit, featuring a top that shows off her curves and a high-waisted, tight-fitting bottom. It's classic yet modern at once, and she tosses the military jacket over her shoulder in the cutest way. More revealing pictures are available at Maxim's website.
"I come from a military family," Pickler confessed to the mag (via Celebrity-Gossip.net), revealing the deep-rooted origins of why she is so supportive of the troops. It's in her DNA.
She continued, "My grandfather is a retired Marine, and I've always had a great deal of respect for anyone who serves our country. It really does take someone special to sacrifice everything. I don't mean just their lives, either. There are men who are sacrificing the chance to hold their newborn baby!"
Pickler also shared the fact that she has tattoos that commemorate her USO tours. She said, "I also have stars on my left arm for my USO tours, but I'm missing two." She revealed that her grandmother used to say "Tattoos are the devil," but Pickler honored her beloved grandma by getting a tattoo with her name as her first piece of ink! So clearly, her tattoos have deep meaning for her.
Pickler also once told the Boot that another reason her USO tours mean so much to her is that it gives her a chance to offer her thanks. She said, "We were blessed to be able to perform in Kuwait and Afghanistan. It is a moment to just say thank you. It's so wild, the sacrifices that they make, that we don't even know about. Not just the servicemen and women, but their families, as well. Knowing your husband is off fighting a war, it makes it hard to sleep at night. It's wonderful what they do."

TORONTO — Jamal Crawford wondered whether he might produce another 50-point game. In the end, Terrence Ross got one instead.
Crawford had a season-high 37 points and matched a season best with 11 assists, and the Los Angeles Clippers overcame Ross' 51 points to beat the Toronto Raptors 126-118 on Saturday night.
Crawford went up to Ross at the end of the game and gave a message of congratulations and consolation to his former workout partner.
"I told him, 'Welcome to the 50-point club,'" said Crawford, who set his career high with 52 against Miami in January 2007.
Crawford connected on 12 of 23 shots, including five from 3-point range, but said he was happier about his assist total.
"Honestly, this could have been a 50-point night," Crawford said. "You kind of know when you have it and this could have easily been a 50-point night, but the way the game went, they started doubling a little bit, I started finding my teammates more. There'll be other opportunities."
Ross matched Vince Carter's franchise record set 14 years ago and nearly doubled his previous career high of 26 points against Portland on Jan. 2, 2013.
"You don't really realize what you're doing until it's all over," Ross said.
The second-year guard connected on 16 of 29 field goal attempts, made 10 of 17 from 3-point range and went 9 for 10 at the free throw line. But he missed his final foul shot with 4 seconds left, failing to top the 51 points Carter scored in a 103-102 win over Phoenix on Feb. 27, 2000.
"Ross was great but we won the game and that's all we came here for," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said.
Blake Griffin scored 30 points and J.J. Redick had 18 as the Clippers won for the 10th time in 13 games. Los Angeles improved to 8-3 without star guard Chris Paul, sidelined with a separated shoulder.
"We're doing it without an MVP candidate," Crawford said. "We're doing it without one of the best players in the world."
Darren Collison added 12 points and Matt Barnes 11 for the Clippers.
"They are an offensive machine from top to bottom," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said.
Griffin scored eight points in the final quarter as the Clippers snapped a four-game losing streak in Toronto.
"This is the best Blake Griffin we've seen and he's going to continue to get better," Crawford said.
Jonas Valanciunas had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Kyle Lowry added 11 points and 12 assists, and DeMar DeRozan scored 10 points before leaving with a foot injury as the Raptors lost for the first time in three games.
DeRozan sprained his left foot when he landed awkwardly on Hedo Turkoglu's leg after attempting a jump shot with 7:53 remaining in the second quarter. DeRozan stayed in the game but was replaced with 2:58 left in the half and headed to the locker room for treatment. He started the third, but left again at 10:06 and did not return.
X-rays were negative and his status for Monday's game at Brooklyn was unknown.
"If I couldn't perform or help my team, there was no point in me being out there," DeRozan said. "I didn't want to slow anybody down so I just decided I was not going to try and force it."
Bothered by back spasms, Redick was limited to two points in 4 minutes during the first half but returned to shoot 6 of 11 in the second.
Rivers said he'd been told Redick would be unable to return.
"At halftime J.J. was like, 'Oh no, I'm going back. I at least want to give it a go,'" Rivers said. "He was fantastic."
Toronto led 107-106 on an alley-oop dunk by Valanciunas at 6:36 of the fourth. After a Clippers timeout, Redick hit a 3-pointer, Collison made a jumper and Redick connected again, putting Los Angeles up 113-107 with 5:09 remaining.
Valanciunas stopped the run by making one of two at the line, but Griffin hit back-to-back jumpers to put Los Angeles ahead 117-108 with 3:56 to go.
"We really have what it takes to dig down and get stops when we need to," Griffin said. "In the fourth quarter, the last 5 minutes, it seemed like we got almost every stop we wanted."
Ross matched a Raptors record for 3-pointers in a quarter by making five in the first, including a buzzer-beater that gave Toronto a 37-36 lead after one.
He made two more from beyond the arc in the second, setting a team record for 3-pointers in a half, but Crawford had 15 points for the Clippers, who led 71-65 at halftime.
Ross had 13 points in the third and finished the quarter with a flourish, beating the buzzer with his eighth 3 to tie it at 93 heading to the fourth.
Donyell Marshall holds the Toronto record for 3-pointers in a game, hitting 12 against Philadelphia on March 13, 2005. .. Marshall (2005) and Damon Stoudemire (1996) are the other Raptors players to make five 3-pointers in a quarter. … Six of Toronto's next nine games are on the road. They're 11-11 away from home this season. … Actor Laurence Fishburne attended the game. … Rap duo Tag Team performed at halftime.

The BV9370NV brings a 6.2-inch TFT touch screen LCD that will not only play movies in your car, but it will also get you where you need to go with a built-in POLSTAR GPS navigation with over two million POI's covering the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Turn-by-turn directions are provided via on screen prompts and spoken voice instructions. The mapping software can be easily updated by downloading the new data to an SD memory card from your computer. The upgrade is even free during the first year!
When you are on the road, the BV9370NV will keep you entertained in a myriad of ways. Of course you can't watch a video while driving, and the BV9370NV requires the parking brake to be applied to operate the DVD screen. But that still leaves the CD, AM/FM RDS tuner, MP3 via USB, iPod, iPhone, SD card, or other music players to keep you company. AAC, MP4 and DiXV playback formats are also supported. There are additional 3.5 mm aux and USB input connections on the front panel and, included in the box is an Apple device cable which connects directly to the back of the unit.
The touch screen features 800×480 WVGA resolution, with an anti-glare coating to minimize glare in direct sunlight. The display is also adjustable so you can get things just right for your ride. A rear view camera can be connected to the unit as well, which will turn on automatically when the car is put in reverse.
CD's load through a slot in the front of the unit, and a smooth door covers and hides the memory card slots. A rotary encoder adjusts the volume, and the on-screen GUI provides easy control of all the typical functions. If your car is equipped with steering wheel controls, the Boss BV9370NV can be programmed to work with your existing buttons without any special adapters. The unit also comes with a full size 44-button remote for easier control. If you're listening to your favorite tunes on the road and your cell phone rings, simply press a button on the touch screen and the call comes through via the built-in Bluetooth connectivity. The system comes with a remote mounted microphone, and will download your phone contacts to the built-in memory, making hands-free calls a breeze. In addition to the hands-free telephony, you can also stream music to the BV9370NV via Bluetooth using A2DP, AVRCP, HPF and PBAP.
The audio section of the BV9370NV includes a built-in four-channel power amplifier producing 17 watts per channel into four ohms. There are RCA pre-outs for front, rear and subwoofer channels, with two volts of output. Equalization comes in the form of a two band EQ with ± 10 dB adjustment capability at 100 Hz and 10 kHz. There are also three preset EQ curves for those who don't want to fiddle with things themselves. A 24-bit DAC converter operates at eight times oversampling to convert digital information back to analog.
With so many popular "must have" features at an exceptionally low price, the Boss Audio BV9370NV is a definitely worth considering if you are looking to maximize the bang for your buck. The unit comes with a one year, over-the-counter replacement warranty that can be extended to three years if it is installed by an authorized dealer.

Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier
" . . . educators do not offend the First Amendment by exercising editorial control over the style and content of student speech in school-sponsored expressive activities so long as their actions are reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns." —Justice White, speaking for the majority
Hazelwood East High School Principal Robert Reynolds procedurally reviewed the Spectrum, the school's student-written newspaper, before publication. In May 1983, he decided to have certain pages pulled because of the sensitive content in two of the articles, and acted quickly to remove them in order to meet the paper's publication deadline. The journalism students felt that this censorship was a direct violation of their First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court decided that Principal Reynolds had the right to such editorial decisions, as he had "legitimate pedagogical concerns."

Sam Rockwell may be one of the busiest actors in Hollywood but he is also its quietest achiever. Unassuming and genuinely modest, even with all the possible Oscar talk over his performance in the recent indie hit "Moon", Rockwell remains focused on his acting.
He currently appears opposite Robert DeNiro in the comedy/drama "Everybody's Fine", a quietly sentimental holiday film about a widower trying to reconnect with his three children. Rockwell plays the drummer son, but his career could go full throttle with next year's much-anticipated "Iron Man 2". He talked to Paul Fischer in this exclusive interview.
Question: So in "Everybody's Fine", your character is not the biggest part in the world, but it's a really nice little character to play. Was it nice for you to play somebody who is grounded in reality, as it were? I mean, is that one of the attractions of playing a part like this?
Rockwell: Yes, it is. It is.
Question: How differently do you approach a guy like this? I mean, what is the attraction?
Rockwell: Well, you know, I think Bob DeNiro's the attraction, so that's the main thing that brings me to the table.
Question: Did you bring anything of yourself to him when you worked on this movie?
Rockwell: Anything of myself?
Question: To the character?
Rockwell: Yeah. I mean, it was pretty much just me with a couple of alterations, nothing too severe with this one, no humps, or impediments, or no sort of accents and no cloning. It was just, like, me being just Sam with a few different adjustments, as far as my relationships with my siblings and parents and stuff.
Question: That's interesting, because, I mean, most actors like to hide behind a character. That's one of the reasons why they become actors. Is it more challenging to have the opposite approach?
Rockwell: Well, I think – it is harder, sometimes, just to be yourself. I think a lot of really great actors – even if you're doing character parts, you're doing a version of yourself. So, you know, that's part of the process.
Question: What did you learn from working with DeNiro? Did he surprise you in any way?
Rockwell: Well, he's just a great actor. I mean, I was nervous ahead of time, and it turned out to be pretty easy with him. I think when you're working with a really good actor, it's actually very easy. They know what they're doing.
Question: He's never played anybody quite as truthful as this character for a while, either. I mean, it must have been – how was the dynamic between the pair of you, playing father and son, in such a naturalistic environment? I mean, did you two talk about your different approaches to working on scenes together, for example?
Rockwell: No, Bob doesn't talk very much, but I talked to the director a lot. Bob's very nice, though, and it was actually pretty effortless. We didn't have to talk a lot. I mean, we just kind of did it, and he's just so goddamn good. I mean, he's really my teacher. I've watched all of his films as a boy so he inevitably was an acting teacher for me, whether he knows it or not. I think he influenced any actor of my generation, so I learned how to film act a lot from him, and a few other actors.
Question: Now, "Moon" is about to come out on DVD and there's a web site, I think, devoted to an Oscar campaign for you.
Rockwell: That's a very flattering thing, yeah.
Question: So how shocking is it for you to be involved in a movie that has really lifted your profile in a way that possibly was unexpected, given the fact that it was a very small, small film, that I'm sure you didn't think was going to be as critically acclaimed as it was.
Rockwell: Yeah. I'm really flattered, but I think it's a long shot for that kind of stuff, yet I do think it's really nice that we're talking about it. Anything that brings attention to a film like that, such a small movie, is a good thing.
Question: Are you prepared to be involved in the politics of an Oscar campaign, if that should happen?
Rockwell: I would love to be a part of that, but I think my movie's much too small to be considered for that. It's not even eligible for the Spirit Awards, because it's a British film, so, it's such a long shot for that film, but that would be a dream come true, to be considered for something like that.
Question: And then you're also coming out next year in this tiny indie movie called Iron Man 2.
Rockwell: Yes. Yes, that's a little train that could, yeah.
Question: I mean, we don't normally see you do such huge, tent pole films.What was the major reason that you wanted to be a part of that?
Rockwell: Cash, baby. [LAUGHTER] No, no, no. No. It's a really good group of actors, actually, when you think about it. I mean, you've got Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, Robert Downey Junior. Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson. Not to mention a lot of other actors. Gary Shandling. Jon Favreau and I worked together on a movie called Made, and he's a lovely guy. He's really good with actors, really good director. The Marvel guys are great guys. Kevin and Jeremy, they're really low key and very helpful. Justin Theroux, who's a friend of mine, wrote the script,. We did theater in Williamstown back in the day, and he wrote Tropic Thunder, so it's got really good pedigree behind it.
Question: You're a weapons guy?
Rockwell: Yeah. I'm a rival to Tony Stark. I'm a weapons dealer.
Question: But we don't know if he's really a bad guy or not, do we?
Rockwell: He's kind of more of the plucky comic relief, but he's got a little bit of an edge. He's a little pissed off.
Question: How is it being the plucky comic relief? I mean, does that give you a certain bit of freedom? I mean, it's the antithesis of the kind of acting you would do in that movie, versus the kind of acting you'd do in Everybody's Fine, obviously.
Rockwell: He's a little more Salieri than he is the plucky comic relief, but Mickey Rourke is really the bad guy.
Question: So, you're saying you're the Salieri of Iron Man 2.
Rockwell: I wouldn't even go that far. I'm more of a cross between the agent character in Entourage and Salieri and maybe Bill Murray in Kingpin.
Question: Oh, that's an interesting combo.
Rockwell: Yeah.
Question: Does part of your thinking, when you elect to do a movie like this, is that it's the kind of movie that actors need to be out there, so that Hollywood sees you in a bigger light? Do your agents discuss that kind of thing with you, when you think about doing a big franchise movie?
Rockwell: What do you mean, do they say, like, " Oh, you've got to do this," or whatever?
Question: Basically, yeah.
Rockwell: Yeah. Yeah. That's basically what they say. I mean, they say, " You got to do this." I mean, at one point, there was a play that might have been a conflict and thank God, we got the play pushed, so I'm going to get to do the play as well. But there was maybe a time when I was going to have to make a choice. And that's a tough choice: A Broadway play that I'm really excited about, or Iron Man. So you go, " Oh, wow, what are you going to do?" So, that's good that I didn't have to make that choice.
Question: What's the play?
Rockwell: It's a new play by Martin McDonagh, who wrote Pillowman and stuff.
Question: Do you have a start date?
Rockwell: We should be rehearsing in January, I think.
Question: So it'll be on in, like, March or April?
Rockwell: Yeah, that's right.
Question: And then you have to do the whole Iron Man junket circle.
Rockwell: Yes, I guess we're going to do some junket stuff, yeah. We'll figure out what that's going to be all about.
Question: Any other plans?
Rockwell: That's it. I mean, we've got Betty Anne Waters coming out at the end of the year, next year. And we've got this one. And that's it.
Question: So is this, for you, one of the most creative moments in your career? And is this the time that you're having the most fun?
Rockwell: You know, it actually is a lot of fun. It's not a lot of pressure. I'm just going to work, showing up and doing jobs and some are good, some are great. But it's not like any expectations to be something. I feel like I'm really coming into my own a little bit.
Question: The first time we met, actually, was at Sundance for Lawn Dogs. How surprised are you that your career has maintained the longevity that it has?
Rockwell: Well, I always kind of planned it this way, to be honest with you. I never really wanted to play kids but cops. I always wanted to do, like, The French Connection, but my face was too young-looking in my early 20s, so, I was sort of waiting for this point. I'm still looking a little young, actually. I can't wait 'til I get some more wrinkles, because those are the actors that I admire. Gene Hackman was 40 when he did The French Connection and Nicholson was probably 40 when he did Cuckoo's Nest. So, I prefer to be older and I think I'll have more fun with the parts. I was never good at the Teen Beat thing. That was never my thing.

No big deal, but are either fixable, or something to live with?

The ThinkPad T410 is a laptop with little to no hardware issues.
To make the trackpoint able to scroll while holding down the middle button, make a xorg configuration file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-trackpoint.conf with the following contents:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation" MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc.

The fingerprint reader works, just follow the setup guide in Fprint.

If you happen to have the nvidia graphics card, and you intend to use the properitary driver (packages called 'nvidia' from extra), you may have problems to use the fn keys to adjust the brightness of the backlight. The solution is to make a Xorg configuration file,
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/15-nvidia.conf, with the following contents:
Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1" Option "NoLogo" "true" Option "Coolbits" "1" Option "TripleBuffer" "True" Option "DPMS" "True" EndSection
Where the important part is the option:
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
This at least works for the graphics card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
The tp_smapi module is available in the AUR. After installation put the following in
/etc/modules-load.d/thinkpad.conf to load the module on boot.
