text: Does anyone have any tips on how to create a full-screen responsive HTML5 video background (like this)? I've found some tutorials online that show how to write the needed HTML and CSS, but I'm wondering if there is a way to make it so that my client can easily change/update the video in the WordPress editor rather than going in and changing the HTML every time he wants to upload a new video. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Slave of the Aristocracy: Book One – On the Auction Block
on Jan. 31, 2014
Excellent story; good value. This story begins with a premise similar to that in "White Ivory" by Leslie Brooks. In both the protagonist is a respectable woman in a dull, sexless marriage who chooses to become a slave. Both characters get the sex they want; both also pay a price they do not expect. Ms Zacharias' protagonist is a high-born woman in a society resembling those described by Jane Austen: a rigid hierarchy, with strong rules about how women of the upper classes will behave. Lady Irene violates those norms. Her punishment for doing so is worse than she expects. It puzzles this reader that men in this imagined upper-class society marry at all. Sex is freely available – to men with the money to buy slaves, at least. But not to wives of that station; these women provide some companionship, but seemingly not enough to justify marriage. Children are why upper-class men of Victorian society married: they wanted heirs. But there's no mention of children here. (Austen's women who had been married long were mothers.) Readers might be astonished that only the one wife rebels. The present volume appears to be the first of a series. It ends with an appropriate cliff-hanging. We look forward to the sequel.

Study: Male Chivalry A Myth on Sinking Ships
Published: Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 9:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 9:35 p.m.
STOCKHOLM | A hundred years after the Titanic sank, two Swedish researchers on Thursday said when it comes to sinking ships, male chivalry is "a myth" and more men generally survive such disasters than women and children.
Economists Mikael Elinder and Oscar Erixon of Uppsala University also showed in their 82-page study that captains and their crew are 18.7 percentage points more likely to survive a shipwreck than their passengers.
"Our findings show that behavior in life-and-death situation is best captured by the expression 'every man for himself,'?" the authors wrote.
The researchers analyzed 18 of the world's most famous maritime disasters, ranging from the HMS Birkenhead, which grounded in the Indian Ocean in 1852, to the MV Bulgaria tourist ship, which sank on Russia's Volga River last year.
Analyzing passenger lists, logs and registers, Elinder and Erixon found that men actually have a distinct survival advantage. Out of the 15,000 people who died in the 18 accidents, only 17.8 percent of the women survived compared with 34.5 percent of the men. In three of the shipwrecks, all the women died, Elinder said.
The report also referred to the Titanic, which sank in the North Atlantic in the early morning of April 15, 1912. The researchers called the Titanic an exception to their findings, mainly because its captain, Edward Smith, threatened to shoot men unless they yielded to women for lifeboat seats. Capt. Smith went down with his ship.

Dozens of new state laws take effect in state
OLYMPIA — Kimberly Aleman was brought to the United States from Mexico by her parents when she was 3 years old. Now in her second quarter at Yakima Valley Community College, she is allowed to apply for a state need grant for the first time, under a law that takes effect Thursday.
The law, officially called the "Real Hope Act" but also known as the Washington Dream Act, expands state financial aid for college students in the country without legal status. It's one of about 200 new laws that take effect this week.

Voluntary Protection Programs
Participants Association Conference
"Building Monuments of Excellence"
Washington, D.C.
September 14, 1999
- It is a real pleasure to meet with an organization here in Washington that believes in safety and health protection. I am delighted to be among friends! Rather than having to stand in front of a group convincing them that safety and health makes sense, I can come here and hear you tell me how your programs reduce injuries and illnesses.
- That's where VPP companies excel. And every VPP site is different. IP Nursery in Selma, Alabama, and CF Industries in St. Louis, Missouri, each have only six employees. On the other end of the scale is Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia, which covers 31,000 workers. Industries vary from chemical manufacturing to a nursing home to lumber and wood products. VPP companies make golf balls, razors and cookies.
- And I am delighted to share the stage today with Pete Correll, CEO of Georgia Pacific, one of the giants in proving that safety and health management is critical to successful businesses today.
- Some of your VPP sites have been in the program just a few months. But 51 of you have already established yourselves as monuments of excellence. You have 10 years or more in the program. Just to recognize the veterans among you, could we have VPP participants with 10 or more years stand, please? You're looking at a decade of success-people who collectively have prevented thousands of injuries at their sites. We applaud your leadership and achievement in safety and health.
- Despite the differences among your programs, all VPP sites know firsthand that safety pays. You have a safety and health program that's effective in protecting workers from occupational injuries and illnesses. Your monuments aren't made of granite or brass. Your monuments are healthy, safe, productive workers -- workers who can do their best because they know their safety and health comes first.
- Your programs aren't the same -- they're tailored to fit each site. But they incorporate the same basic principles, and they produce similar successes. You've each tried a systems management approach to workplace safety and health for one reason: It works!
- It's easy to see in the numbers. Savings of $110 million each year thanks to 50 percent fewer injuries. In fact, if every company in VPP today continues for 10 years, your workers will avoid more than 35,000 injuries, and together you'll save more than $1 billion. That's enough that even people here in Washington will sit up and take notice!
- Not everyone in the Capital though sees the value of safety and health programs-or the relevance of a systems approach to safety. From the questions I'm called upon to answer, it's not clear that everyone believes the impact of safety and health programs are worth the cost.
- But you have the facts and figures. You have the proof to dispel the myth that safety and health programs pose added burdens with few benefits. You know the opposite is true: safety and health programs add value and reduce costs.
- I want to extend the benefits that employees receive at topnotch companies like yours to all working Americans. I'd love to see occupational injuries sliced in half. There's only one way to make that happen. That's to ensure that every employer establishes a safety and health program. To bring that to pass, we need your help.
- It's time to respond directly to the critics. When critics and uninformed officials say safety and health programs are costly or unnecessary, they suggest you don't know what you're doing. They are ignorant of the reasons for your investment and your achievements.
- Let me share with you the questions I get asked. First, why do small businesses need safety and health programs? Of course, the answer is simple. Safety and health hazards exist in companies of all sizes. While the smallest employers -- those with 10 or fewer employees -- account for only 15 percent of the American workforce, they accounted for 30 percent of workplace deaths in 1997. That's twice as many deaths as their percentage in the workforce. They need safety programs just as much as -- even more than -- employees at larger companies-yet they're less likely to have them. OSHA surveys show that a majority of establishments with more than 100 employees have safety and health programs. But only a small minority of smaller sites do.
- How do we know safety and health programs will work at smaller companies? We know because of you. About 15 percent of VPP participants have fewer than 100 employees. Two have fewer than 10. You've proven safety and health programs make a significant difference. The consultation program we run in conjunction with state officials also demonstrates the effectiveness of safety and health programs among smaller companies. And when you talk to your contractors and suppliers who are small businesses, please encourage those who need it to take advantage of this free consultation service.
- The second question I frequently get is: Do safety and health programs really prevent injuries? Well, no athlete wins without training. No business succeeds without planning. Focusing on safety up front is the only way to integrate it into the daily ebb and flow of your work. States that have required employers to have safety and health programs for five years or more-Alaska, California, Hawaii and Washington-have reduced injuries faster than the rest of the country. You all know better than I that safety and health programs work.
- Third question: Shouldn't OSHA adopt voluntary guidelines for safety and health programs rather than mandatory requirements? As you know, we did-10 years ago. Since then 59 million workplace injuries have occurred and 73,500 workers have died on the job. Plus, employers have spent more than $1 trillion -- that's one trillion dollars in 10 years -- on injuries alone! Yet only about 30 percent of small employers have seen the wisdom of adopting safety and health programs. If we are to pass along your experience, and if we are to fulfill our obligation to protect American workers, we need to move from voluntary guidelines to required practices. We are counting on businesses like yours affirming that these required practices are good business decisions.
- Safety pays for workers, employers and stockholders. That's the message we need you to take to your industry and your community. Share your success-and let all working Americans benefit.
- Many of you have been reaching out to other companies in a number of helpful ways. I want to commend you for that. You've held regional conferences to spark interest in VPP. Your association has developed a VPP application workshop to assist companies in applying for OSHA recognition.
- You've also helped directly in expanding VPP by sharing your staff with us -- as Special Government Employees. During the past year more than 70 representatives of VPP companies have been available to serve on OSHA evaluation teams.
- I'd like for all the VPP Volunteers to stand. Thank you. You've given us your time and your expertise -- resources that have benefited OSHA greatly. Your participation has helped us leverage our limited resources to increase VPP sites.
- VPP companies have done an outstanding job mentoring companies that express interest in the program. You've helped 115 companies establish or improve their safety and health programs and move toward VPP participation. That's great.
- Now I'm asking you to move beyond those who come to you. I ask you to step forward to take the message to others who may not be as ready or eager to receive it. Those who aren't yet convinced are the ones we most need to reach.
- We've talked about the success of VPP and the importance of expanding it. We also need to make VPP permanent. I think it's time to pronounce our 17-year experiment in partnership a success and write it into law. I commend your association for pursuing this goal, and I thank Representatives Petri of Wisconsin and Andrews of New Jersey for introducing the bill. I met last week with Representative Cass Ballenger, chairman of the subcommittee considering the bill. He has concerns that safety committees may violate the National Labor Relations Act and wants to amend the bill. That amendment is totally unnecessary. I'd like to see the bill passed, and passed quickly, without that amendment, but the chairman is not yet convinced. I assure you, I will keep up my efforts to help this bill become law. It's time the U.S. Congress recognized you as the leaders you are in safety and health.
- However, nothing is moving through Congress quickly these days -- including appropriations bills. I am very concerned because the spending limits some want to impose threaten support for VPP as well as many other OSHA and Labor Department programs. If the limits remain, OSHA will be cut by one-third, and many of the helpful things we do to support safety and health programs around the country will be scaled back dramatically.
- In contrast to the retrenchment proposed by Congress, President Clinton has asked for an additional $12 million in OSHA's budget for 2000 to place full-time occupational safety and health training and technical assistance staff in every federal OSHA office. We want to do more education, training and outreach from our area offices. We need to provide more technical assistance to employers to make a greater impact, but we must have the resources to do it.
- I particularly appreciate Secretary Herman's leadership as OSHA finds new ways to work with people. The Secretary has led us in emphasizing results and developing creative approaches to reach them.
- And we have a number of challenges ahead of us, especially in the area of new OSHA standards. We plan to propose the safety and health program rule in the next few months, and we will need your full participation during that rulemaking. Also, very shortly, we will be publishing our ergonomics proposal and then our final recordkeeping rule.
- Ergonomics is a very hot topic in Washington. It's not a new issue. OSHA has been concerned about work-related musculoskeletal disorders, or MSDs, for two decades.
- But we can no longer wait to address MSDs. More than one-third of all serious occupational injuries and illnesses stem from overexertion or repetition. That's more than 600,000 each year. These injuries cost businesses $15 to $20 billion annually in workers' comp costs alone. Add indirect costs, and the total mounts as high as $60 billion.
- Further, we have the scientific evidence and the backing of the scientists and medical community to move forward now. Studies in 1997 by NIOSH and in 1998 by the National Academy of Sciences verify that sound scientific evidence links back injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and other MSDs to work. We know that higher physical stress leads to greater likelihood of injury and that interventions -- ergonomics programs -- can reduce the risk of injury.
- Some people, including many members of Congress, want to see another study done to verify that ergonomics programs make sense. Based on experiences like yours, I think we know enough to act now.
- We expect to publish our proposal shortly, take public comments, hold hearings in early 2000 and then publish a final rule the end of next year. It's an ambitious schedule, but the issue is critical. Every year 600,000 people are suffering work-related MSDs, and we must act now. We welcome your participation in this rulemaking -- especially since so many of you have developed excellent ergonomics programs.
- Also this year, we will issue our final recordkeeping rule. We had hoped to publish it sooner so that we could have the new forms in place in January 2000. We're not going to meet that deadline.
- It's critical to the success of the new system for people to have the training and support they need to help them learn the differences. OSHA has promised to provide that. And we will do it. But to do it right, we need -- and employers and state OSHA programs need -- more than a couple of months to gear up.
- So I expect that the new rule will not go into effect this coming January, but January 2001. That will give you time to make the necessary changes to your systems. I think you will be pleased with the changes we've made. The new rule will offer clearer definitions of work-relatedness, a better explanation of what constitutes light duty and a much improved and simpler recordkeeping form. I encourage VPPPA to consider offering recordkeeping training -- as other trade and professional organizations will be doing -- as part of its services to members and prospective members.
- As you can see, OSHA has plenty of challenges before it over the next several months. VPP also faces challenges as we enter the next millennium.
- We need to help sites that have been in the program for many years find strategies to continually improve their performance. As motivational speaker Zig Ziglar says, "Go as far as you can see, and when you get there, you will always be able to see farther." I think that's a great description of the continual improvement process.
- We also need to expand the program to more sites through continuing the VPP Volunteers and VPPPA mentoring programs. We need to develop new models for VPP, such as the program for short-term construction contractors. We need to communicate VPP success to the public and decisionmakers to demonstrate the value of safety and health programs.
- When you joined VPP, you made a conscious decision to join a partnership. You've chosen a different path, one that has made a significant difference.
- And you have made a big difference to OSHA. We point to all of you with pride as real world examples how to do safety and health right.
- In this world, few choose partnership. Few reach for the stars. And fewer still attain your success. OSHA covers more than 6 million worksites, but less than one-tenth of 1 percent fly Star flags.
- I admire your dedication. I salute your achievement. And I deeply value your partnership. Thank you for sharing your achievements with us.

HELLO ... if it's RIPE FOR THE PICKING, it's probably true. This is what investigators DO, whether they be journalists or prosecutors; they INVESTIGATE KEY POINTS that lead to the truth. This is where most "attorneys" (disreputable ones) split away from other industries, because this is the part where there is an EXTREME OPPOSITION, when "attorneys" generally try to figure out stories AGAINST THE FACTS, in order to "protect their client.

Thousands of residents in west Alabama lost power Wednesday morning as temperatures remained below freezing.
Alabama Power Company spokesman Joseph Brown said a main transmission line failed about 5:10 a.m. Wednesday.
That knocked out power to about 19,200 customers in parts of three western counties, including Choctaw, as temperatures hovered around 15 degrees.
Brown says it's unclear whether the outage was linked to the frigid weather.

Tornado moments: Garland edition. Or, how not to issue a Nissan warranty
From eyewitness Tom Fox, and no we are not making this up:
Scene: Diana Allred receives a phone call while standing in her destroyed Garland home.
Nissan Dealership: "We are calling to see if you would like to extend the warranty on your vehicle."
Allred, pointing out her vehicle to photographer Tom Fox: "It's that one over there!"

PitBull4 is a continuation of PitBull.
Differences from PitBull 3:
- It's mostly done, but not entirely done thus why there are still only betas (despite this it is still very stable).
- Documentation is written before functions
- Much easier for third-party extensions.
- Options will be much, much simpler. In 3.0, there's about 200 panels that you can mess with, it's overwhelming. I want to bring this down to somewhere around 10.
- Layouts are defined deterministically and unit groups use the layout rather than ad-hoc layouts on a per-unit basis. This will make setting up your unit frames far, far easier.
- Due to some decisions made, 4.0 is actually more configurable than 3.0. As a layout designer, you will have a lot more control over how things look. You can have different fonts on the same frame, different textures, more precise positioning, and a whole slough of other things.
- CPU Efficiency will be taken much more seriously.
- It uses Ace3 instead of Rock.

I've recently switched from X-perl to Pitbull 4 and have loved all the features but I have run into just a single problem. Where the buffs would show up on a default WoW UI, in the upper right corner where the mini map would apear, the buffs are still there. I have them custom set up to be on the top of my unit frame, and that works fine, but the default for WoW's UI will not go away. And ideas?

As an addendum to my post about the range fader below, I have discovered that the reason friendly frames and NPC's were fading even when close to me was because I had the range fader set at "Custom spell". Apparently, since I cannot cast Arcane Blast on friendly targets or NPC's, the program sees them as out of range, and thus causes them to fade.
Im going to try Range Fader 2. Thanks
slickwalker Jun 27, 2010 at 14:36 UTC - 0 likes
The fader option, for some unknown reason, is fading all of my frames except the border of the player frame. The odd thing is, every frame was cloned from a template.
edit- Ok, now I just log in, and my pet border is not fading. Which was fading correctly earlier this morning. Also, I've got no messages on my bug stack.Last edited Jun 27, 2010 by slickwalker: added

I have noticed that with the range based opacity only works and will go as low as the minimum opacity set. The problem here is that with minimum opacity set at anything less than 100, all friendly targets and NPC's are at that lowest set minimum opacity regardless of their range. I want the range fading feature, BUT, I dont want friendly NPCs and targets to be faded. How do we overcome this?

Is there a plan to implement boss frames to use with pitbull ? I don't mean all raid bosses like raid addons, I just mean for blizzard boss frames like the gunship battle in ICC.

Conspiracy theorists might be tempted to think that the London Marathon organisers have it in for Jews.
Earlier this year the date of the 2016 race was 1a>confirmed as the second day of Pesach2a>, denying observant runners the chance to take part - and Jewish charities the money they would raise.
An Ofsted inspector turned up unannounced at a Jewish primary school in London last week - on the afternoon of the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
The independent Nancy Reuben Primary School, a Sephardi school in Hendon, was the latest school to receive a snap visit from the education watchdog.
Rosh Hashanah is almost upon us. 5774 has been a difficult year, riven by conflict and cacophonous with lies, half-truths and hostility. Like many others, the Jewish people are desperate to draw a line under the past and make a new start.
At the heart of the Rosh Hashanah service is a cry with no words. It isn't even a human cry, but the strangely evocative sound made by directing the breath through the hollowed-out horn of a ram. Scripture provides no reason for blowing the shofar on the New Year; it doesn't even name it as the instrument to be used on what it tersely describes as Yom Teruah, "a day of sounding the horn".
You've probably stocked up on apples and honey but have you given any thought to what new year we are entering? If not, I can tell you that, as of next week, we will be in 5775. And, for the second time in my life we have hit the mid-70s.
The world is totally different to the one 39 years ago, in which I was attending my first year of secondary school.
It is a question I am asked at least once a year. Why do I, a secular Jew, attend a Rosh Hashanah service? At a Conservative shul, no less.
Having been brought up in an Orthodox German community as a young refugee from Germany in New York City I, of course, attended shul every Shabbat and on all yomtovim.

Teeing Off with Brio in Italy
By ROBERT SIDORSKY
Published: July 21, 1996
GOLF in Italy is not only about hitting that ball, it's also about cuisine, couture and culture. When you stripe a drive down the middle, there are no muted murmurs of "nice shot." Instead, there are full-throated cries of "bravo," "bravissimo" and even an occasional "mamma mia."
During a 10-day trip in April, I played and visited many fine courses. There may be more challenging tests in other parts of Europe, but nowhere is golf is played with more style and exuberance than in northern Italy.
There are more than 100 golf clubs in Italy, from Abruzzo to Zoate, almost half of which are clustered around Milan and the lakes of northern Italy. Five of what Golf World, a leading European golf magazine, rates as the top 50 courses in continental Europe are found in the 80-mile stretch between Milan, the capital of Lombardy, and Turin, the capital of Piedmont.
My golfing journey began at Milano Golf Club, which was founded in 1926, and is the course nearest the city's center. The course, known as Monza, is in the Park of Monza, once a royal playground of the Hapsburgs and now best known for its Grand Prix auto racing circuit.
My golfing partners were Victor and Douglas, two New Yorkers whom I met at the front desk of the Four Seasons Hotel in Milan. Our taxi driver finally found the entrance to the club through the Porta di San Giorgio and we headed out for the course accompanied by our caddie, Luigi.
Monza is a traditional, English-style parkland course, laid out by the British course architect Charles Blandford. Like most Italian golf clubs, it is clearly a preserve of the well-to-do, but it welcomes visitors from overseas. The clubhouse, built in the 1950's, is a pagoda of rectilinear concrete slabs and terra cotta roof that reflects the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright. The original clubhouse, now a restaurant, stands behind the 13th green. It was once the site of the royal pheasant preserve, or fagianaia.
Monza fully deserves its ranking as the 18th best course in continental Europe. It's a course of secluded fairways and small, undulating greens, with subtle and constant variations on basic themes. On some holes the trees virtually enshroud the fairways while others are more open, with a single oak or beech.
On the sixth hole the sand is flashed up all around the green; on the eighth the green is set in a bowl with no sand at all. I particularly liked the par-4 13th, with its split-level fairway that swings left, and the 14th, a short par 5 where the fairway curves right around a nest of sand bunkers and two spruce trees guard the green.
Le Robinie
Le Robinie Golf Club is a few minutes from Milan's Malpensa Airport (there are actually signs directing you to the course, which is very much the exception in Italy).
The Italian golfers I met loved Robinie, I think because it is so different from all the other Italian courses. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, and opened in 1993, it is an unadulterated and unabashed contemporary American-style course, the opposite of Monza. Robinie has a big, bustling clubhouse surrounded by tangerine-colored apartments that are for sale. The course itself looks like a Tournament Players Club course you might find in Florida.
The Robinie is a locust tree, but there are few trees and lots of terraced fairways featuring tiers of bunkers with sharply etched grass faces guarding the greens. Some holes are tough and sculptured, others softer and more straightforward. The most exciting are those along the four ponds, particularly the photogenic 4th, but I also like the 7th, which is a cape hole -- the fairway curves away at an angle -- and the 14th, where sand-dollar bunkers run all the way down the left side and then cross in front of the green. Both the 9th and 10th holes and the 17th and 18th straddle opposite sides of the ponds, which run the entire length of the fairway.
If you head east from Milan on the autostrada -- for about 30 miles -- you will eventually arrive at Bergamo Golf Club, the site of this year's Italian Open. The course, known as L'Albenza, is about half an hour from Bergamo and Bergamo Alta, an older medieval village perched on a hilltop.
The clubhouse, designed by a native son, Sandro Angelini, is a veritable mobile of wood, glass, concrete, terra cotta tiles and disks of white, beige and purple stone. On the roof is a black metal sculpture of a bull. On the hillside that looms above the course, I could see the childhood home of another son of Bergamo, Constantino Rocca, the great Italian golfer who was the runner-up in last year's British Open.
According to the local residents, Rocca got his start at the course as a caddie at age 5.
The day I visited, Bergamo was the only one during the trip that was damp and overcast. As the mist hung over L'Albenza, the course took on a brooding, almost Byronic quality. There are three nines at Bergamo, but the championship course consists of the yellow and blue nines, and is well worth playing. The fairways gently heave through pines and cypress while a little brook threads through the course, and I saw a solitary swan sitting in front of the green of the par-3 seventh.

It took two flawless runs at breakneck speed to qualify for this year's state Alpine ski meet. That's exactly what Dustin Erickson did last Wednesday at Wild Mountain. In the process, he placed 14th and qualified for this week's state meet. "There was some pretty stiff competition there," coach Jim Peine said. "Dusty just had two good, clean, consistent runs. That got him up there." Erickson finished his first run in 28.12 seconds and his second in 30.90. He had a combined time of 59.02. The event's winner, Thomas Dylan of St.
William Boldt, the man arrested in the armed robbery of the AmericInn in Hastings, pled guilty Monday and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Boldt pled guilty to one count of aggravated robbery in the first degree. The robbery took place in the early morning hours on Jan. 20. Three co-defendants have also been charged, according to a press release issued by Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. Lorenzo Barker, age 21 of St. Paul, has a court appearance on February 28 at 1:30 p.m. in Hastings Michael Dziubak, age 21 of St. Paul, has a court appearance on March 14 at 9:00 a.m.
Members of the Hastings High School Band Program have been awarded numerous honors throughout the school year so far. Last year, four students (Lane Manke, Mary Haglund, Joe Poncelet and Chase Fasbender) were selected and awarded the highest honor in the state for band students - All State Band. These four students attended a week-long camp last summer at Concordia College in Moorhead and will be presenting their final All State Performance at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb.
Last week's swim meet between Hastings and Roseville didn't exactly get off to a very good start for the blue and gold. In the event's first race, the 200 medley relay, the top Hastings relay team was disqualified for an early start. In the second event, Hastings went second and fourth. That wasn't how coach Gerry Rupp had envisioned the meet beginning. Hastings trailed 16-14, and Rupp knew that his team would be giving up 13 points in diving. "I was starting to get a little upset at how we were swimming," Rupp said. "I felt that our team was taking Roseville too lightly.
The Hastings boys hockey team turned a tight game with the No. 3 ranked team in the Suburban East Conference into a blowout thanks to a rally started on a short-handed goal. With Hastings leading 1-0 midway through Saturday's game against Roseville, Hastings took a penalty and Roseville went on the power play. It was Hastings, though, who scored. Nate Flynn scored at 8:01 and Hastings went up 2-0. "That was a big goal," Hastings coach Russ Welch said." That broke their back a little bit.
The Hastings girls basketball team found out against Thursday why the Woodbury Royals are again one of the best teams in the Suburban East Conference. Woodbury beat Hastings on Thursday, 55-20. Woodbury improved to 11-2 in the SEC. Hastings is now 1-12 in league action. "Woodbury is very good, and they're very athletic," coach Mike Harp said. "We just don't match up with them very well. They shot the ball very well, too. "Generally, down at our place, teams don't shoot extremely well. I was hoping that would be the case.
Hastings ran into all kinds of trouble on the boys basketball court in a game last week against Woodbury. The Royals shot the lights out and, in the process, had no problem with the Raiders. Woodbury won, 94-58. "They shot the ball really well," coach Chad Feikema said. "They went on a run and there wasn't a lot we could do." Hastings had three players score in double figures, with Josh Monjeau leading the way. He had 15 points. "He played exceptionally well," Feikema said. "He's just getting much better about attacking the basket and being able to finish.
Squad cars race down the street. You see them pull up to a neighbor's house and, ultimately, curiosity gets the best of you. You wonder what is happening there. Now, with your personal computer, you can find out with a couple pecks at the keyboard. On Monday the service was up and running and that night, Hastings Chief of Police Paul Schnell shared the news with the city council. Essentially, the city uploads its crime data daily to a mapping service. That service, which costs the city $99 a month, plots out the crimes on a map.
The season ended Tuesday afternoon in Apple Valley for the Hastings Nordic ski teams. The Raiders will not have a racer at the state meet next week, but they did have one racer come within two minutes of qualifying. Sarah Peterson led the Hastings girls with a 16th-place finish. She had a time of 22 minutes, 20 seconds in the classic and a time of 20:08.51 in the freestyle. Her combined time was 42:28.6. Peterson is a junior. The meet was won by Sonja Hedblom, a sophomore from Eagan, who had a time of 36.12.9. Makaila England, a freshman, finished 44th for the Raiders.
It wasn't the best game of Liz Keena's career. Nor was it the best game of the season for the Hastings girls basketball team. But, with about 90 seconds to play against Woodbury, it suddenly became quite memorable for the HHS senior and her teammates. Keena hit a jump shot for her 11th point of the night and the 1,000th point of her high school career in Hastings. She is just the fourth player in Hastings history to record 1,000 points. On the next possession, Keena was fouled and went to the free throw line, where she hit both attempts.

Since the career life of these singers is, at best, a matter of a few years, Mima has decided to leave Cham to try her hand at being an actress. She lands a part in 'Double Bind,' a suspense thriller that will test her commitment in many ways, putting her in situations that some of her old fans find uncomfortable. This explodes into her life in a big way when Mima finds an internet website that purports to be written by her.
Whoever is writing the site knows too much about what Mima is going through, and she finds herself stalked by an unhappy fan that has developed a fixation on her. Soon people are dying in gruesome circumstances, and Mima becomes more and more confused about whom she really is and what is real. First time director Satoshi Kon is merciless, making sure that the viewer gets few clues about which reality is real and whether what one sees is in 'Double Bind,' 'Perfect Blue,' or in Mima's mind alone.
This is really a remarkable piece of work. Great care is put into artistic and musical values. It has striking graphic qualities without the viewer ever getting the feeling that the images are overwhelming the story. In addition, I particularly like the imaginative use of color. Of course, the use of music is particularly important in a film about Japanese popular entertainment figures, and Kon makes sure that the film lives up to aural expectations.
This is a rough, gripping film.Read more ›
After two and a half years of being lead singer with the techno-pop trio Cham, 21-year old Mima Kigiroe announces at a concert that she is leaving the group to pursue a movie career. One of the other members puts it more colourfully, that Mima has graduated from Cham. The move stuns her fans, but Mima sees her time there as wonderful, but felt suffocated by the innocent pop-idol image and that it was time to move on to newer things, such as her role in Double Bind, a psycho-thriller drama series where she plays the sister of a victim. Tadokoro feels that there's "no place for pop idols to appeal to the masses." Acting in this drama will be Mima's "make it or break it" opportunity.
Upon the insistence of her agent Tadokoro to Shibuya, the scriptwriter, and the producer(?) Tejima, her role gradually increases, from the line "Who are you?" to something drastic, involving a traumatic scene Jodie Foster did in The Accused, only it's the stage of a strip club and not on a pool table. Besides, it's simulated anyway. This does indeed change Mima's image, but Rumi Hidaka, her other agent and former pop idol, is upset and even leaves during that scene.
Mima has other problems. She comes across a website called Mima's Room, which initially causes her amusement, as it details an imagined day in her life, "Someone sures knows me"--but when she reads some things that actually happened, she gets scared.
Mima is then confronted not only with those things, but with a version of herself as she was as Cham's lead singer, wearing her Cham dress.Read more ›
I'm reviewing the version I saw, the Australian DVD release by Madman Entertainment as the licensee for Manga Entertainment. It is unusually Region Coded 1,2 and 4 (the zones of USA and Canada, Europe and Japan and South America as well). However, it is recorded in PAL format and except for Europe, these countries use NTSC, a different playback format. As a general point, make sure your DVD player has PAL playback before buying any PAL disc even if the disc is your region code or region zero (no region code) otherwise it won't play back properly or at all. There might also be differences between this disc and other region versions so check what extras you get.
I don't like watching dubbed live action films but I'm perfectly happy with the English dubbed version on this disc which is well done. The Japanese language track with or without subtitles is also available. It's worth watching the watching the Japanese subtitled version. It gives a different feel to the movie. Some dialogue gets a different emphasis. It also shows up one error in the English dub at 1 hour 1 minute and 32 seconds. Mima should have said "Rika Takakura" not "Mima Kirigoe". This is confirmed by the Japanese language track and accompanying subtitles. This is important as it clears up some confusion that might be created in that scene as a result.Read more ›
