Suspects political pandering in immigration reform debate
Published 4:40 pm, Monday, March 4, 2013
A bipartisan committee has put together proposals for much needed immigration reform. Some of the proposals include an eight-year path to citizenship, strengthening the border, and monitoring the employment of illegal immigrants.
The normal path to citizenship takes about 10 years of waiting in your native country for those who follow the rules. So why are people who are here illegally being moved ahead of those legally working for their citizenship?
In addition, the illegal immigrants will be allowed to stay in this country with Social Security cards, driver's licenses and all the benefits of citizenship while they wait. What's wrong with this picture?
Please tell me why Hispanics are being given special consideration? Does racism play a role? We are denying the same opportunity to blacks from Africa, Asians from the Far East, and whites from Eastern Europe. Could it be possible that our politicians, who are known for their courage and integrity, are pandering to large voting bloc?

How to describe Trumpism in America: Don't focus on Trump – CBS News
The best way to describe the source of President Donald Trump's broad economic and political impact is to take him out of the equation altogether, says economist Mark Blyth.
"The first thing to do is stop focusing on Trump if you want to understand this," the Scotland-born Brown University professor said on the latest episode of "The Takeout" podcast. "The bigger picture is simply a story of the breakdown of that regime, if you want to call it that, from the '80s through to the financial crisis, where basically a huge amount of wealth was generated globally, and it went into very few hands locally."
Over breakfast tacos at food-truck-turned-restaurant, District Taco, across the street from the CBS News DC bureau, Blyth told CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett and Political Director Steve Chaggaris that Donald Trump is a "phenomenon" on both the right and the left — and not only in the U.S., but also in other countries across the globe.
"And what it is, essentially, is a huge amount of dissatisfaction with the people who have been running the world for the last 30 years."
It's like the ubiquitous fast food chain McDonald's, he says, drawing an extended metaphor: It's hard to find a bad McDonald's in the United States, but if you eat there all the time, "bad" things can happen.
"So a large part of the United States has been eating McDonald's for 30 years. And they figured out that there's a kitchen on the coasts serving lobster.. and they're not invited."
Blyth thinks that the "ultimate tragedy" of the Trump presidency is that he may not be able to fix this imbalance. Will Trump's moment be a political one, absent the policy relevance needed to deal with the grievances his supporters elected him to solve?
"Sadly, I think that's shaping up to be most likely outcome – that ultimately what you've got is someone who's portrayed himself as people's champion," Blythe said. "And he's come along and said, 'You know, we need to protect coal jobs.' All right, great sympathy for the people who are there who are doing this. But coal mining in the developed world is shutting down everywhere."

Skip to comments.Lincoln's Magna Carta almost destroyed
Posted on 09/16/2009 6:10:23 AM PDT by BGHater
A US worker came within seconds of destroying Lincoln's copy of the Magna Carta after nearly spraying it with a chemical cleaner.
The 800-year-old document is currently on display in New York, but almost met a sticky end thanks to an overzealous cleaner.
Lincoln Cathedral's archive conservation consultant Chris Woods accompanied the document, spending hours making sure the inked sheepskin which contains the charter of freedom, was placed correctly into a £42,000 vacuum-sealed display case to keep it safe from the elements.
And it was, until a lock briefly malfunctioned just as a workman tried to give it a last minute wipe with a chemical cleaner potentially wiping history right off the page.
The New York Times reported that Mr Woods rushed over and took away the fluid before the vapours got to the script, saying: "Bleach it out nicely that would."
Lincoln Cathedral Dean Reverend Philip Buckler spoke to the Echo from New York yesterday.
"It was never in any serious danger," he said.
"We had the grand opening last night and people came from all over the US."
The document had travelled with an armed escort from Heathrow Airport in a climate controlled box as part of a programme of US tours which last saw it displayed at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in June.
Now it will wow visitors to the Fraunces Tavern Museum in Lower Manhattan until December 15.
Lincoln's copy of the Magna Carta is pretty much the only one of the original four that can travel one is burnt, another unreadable, and the other too fragile.
Lol, nice save Mr Woods, err, I mean Yoda.
Gotta admire those type A Brits around 800 year old documents.
Looks like a dramatization to spice up the storyto me. From the way they describe it, it looks like the worker was actually cleaning up the case and Mr. Woods stopped him before he oversprayed or allowed vapors to spread to the document.
But yes, good save!
Mmmmhhh Clean the case yesssss. But with chemicals harsh I say not.
The cleaners name was later found to be a Mr. Obama who coincidentally was responsible for "Bleaching Out" another historic document the Constitution of the United States.
Lol. 'White' out. Ooops, that's racist.
Relative of Obama's?The 800-year-old document is currently on display in New York, but almost met a sticky end thanks to an overzealous cleaner.To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

"Yesterday afternoon, around 4p.m., the Place Vendôme was so jammed with cars that it recalled photographs of the square when parking was permitted. People were on their way to see Phoebe Philo's first show for Celine, and the mood felt genuinely festive—not the mean celebrity scene that usually awaits you, with guards furiously telling store chiefs and editors to step aside for (inevitably) a minor celebrity. This happens so often that a friend of mine suggested that all the celebrity designers (Gwen Stefani, et al) get together with their friends and have Celebrity Fashion Week. They can get their business out of the way, knock themselves out, and then the rest of us can do ours."

Heh, so it's US first 10 man kill on title for us and world first for 25 man ensidia?
The fanboism of Mr frenchie towards ensidia seems quite obvious, fact is we got world first on the last core left of what was one of the most competitive guilds in the US towards slaying d4rgonz, too bad the rest of them don't care about the game anymore to compete for 25, not to mention 3 more guilds in illidan that were just as good and have retired already.
They should make these d4rgonz a bit more challenging, that way ensidia can beat us by running private servers to simulate encounters with unlimited resources, I remember the days when the phrase "clever use of mechanics" was simply refered as an exploit, I know Pepperidge farm did.

TITLE: The Trunk
By Naomi Deutekom
"No blood," she said out loud, examining her finger.
"Mags," a voice called up the attic stairs. "You almost done? We gotta get going."
"You go on if you want," she called back. "I have to get this thing open."
"Why don't you just get it shipped back home and open it there."
Maggie jumped.
"I wish you wouldn't sneak up on me like that."
"I didn't sneak," said David, now standing beside her. "Come on, I gotta date. Don't want to be late."
"I'll walk back to town," Maggie said.
"Walk," David laughed. "You gotta be kidding. Its three miles back to town."
"Look David. I will have the trunk shipped, but I want to know what's in it first. If you don't want me to walk, send someone back for me in a couple hours."
"A couple hours," he said. "Why would you want to hang out in this old attic for that long?"
Maggie sighed. "David, I know you don't understand, but you don't have to."
"Okay, I'll send Uncle Tom back in a few hours. No guarantees though. If he doesn't come by 6:00 you better start walking. You don't want to be out here alone after dark."
Maggie and David had been raised by Uncle Tom and Aunt Margaret after their parents died. Maggie had been seven and David ten. Living close to Grandma had been a treat and Maggie spent a lot of time out at the farm.
There was not much of the farm left. Most of the land had been sold off by then, but it had been Maggie's sanctuary. Walking the three miles to town was not new to her. She had done it many times growing up.
Grandma had been her champion. When no one else believed in her dreams, Grandma had. She had supported her, not with money, but with hope and prayer.
Maggie sat on the attic floor, tears running down her cheeks and dripping off the end of her nose. She thanked God for such a wonderful mentor. Memories continued to flood her mind: making cookies, sweeping the floor, playing games, standing at the window watching it rain. She remembered one time, when she had slept over; Grandma woke her up at 3:00 am, just to see the northern lights.
She looked down at the trunk. Its mysteries still silent. Grandma's special trunk. It was always locked and they were told to stay out of the attic. The trunk had intrigued her then and it still did today. When she asked about it, Grandma had said, "Some secrets are better left locked up."
"It would have been better if you had left a key, Grandma." Maggie said as she worked the screw driver in the old-fashioned lock one more time.
Maggie sat back on her heals as the lock fell in pieces before her. Setting the tool down, she lifted the latch. She held her breath as she opened the lid.
The tray on top held many papers. Underneath it she found a wedding dress, yellowed with age, dried flowers, disintegrating in their wrappings, and baby booties with pink bows. Why was this a secret? She picked up a few papers: a marriage certificate, birth certificates, and another marriage certificate. Grandma was married twice? Once in London, before the war and then again after she came to this country. Did Uncle Tom know?
Carefully, she packed the contents back into the trunk. She would need time to go through them and contemplate their meaning. There was more here than just two marriages, she was sure of it, but she could not wait much longer. It was getting cold and it would be dark soon. She had to get back to town. A white envelope fell out of the lid as she started to close it. Her name was written on the front in Grandma's writing. Grandma knew her curiosity needed satisfaction. Maggie smiled and put the letter in her pocket, and closed the trunk.
She stood and looked around her. "Gram," she said. "I love you. Thanks for making me a better person." She turned and walked down the stairs. A horn honked in the drive. Uncle Tom had come after all. Maggie sighed, taking one last look at the familiar surroundings, then walked out the front door.

The Daily Show entered its third evening of Government shutdown coverage last night and after Jon Stewart recited the many, many names he's used to call our incompetent elected officials during "Shutstorm 2013: America Sits on Its Balls," John Oliver joined him at the front desk to help provide some clarity as to whether House Republicans are stupid or just think we're really stupid (spoiler: a little of column A, a little of column B).
Mr. Oliver then takes to explaining just how Congress can get away with this, and the analogies couldn't be more perfectly understandable. I'll leave the lesson to him but it involves both Time Warner Cable and X-Men so now I get it. His segment starts at the 3:00 mark.
Honestly that last thirty seconds is the most depressing thing ever aired on The Daily Show.

Timber Harvest Allocation Model
Entry ID: USDA_HARVEST
Abstract: HARVEST was designed as a strategic research and planning tool, allowing assessment of the spatial pattern consequences of broad timber management strategies. The model is well suited to evaluate alternative strategies, providing comparable predictions about how the alternatives affect the age (or successional stage) distribution and forest type composition of the forest, the spatial distribution ... of forest interior and edge habitats, and the patch structure of the resulting forest landscape. With HARVEST, the object is not to find a scheduling solution (i.e., determining the order in which individual stands should be harvested), but to assess the spatial pattern consequences of general management strategies. HARVEST has been shown to generate patterns similar to those produced by timber management (Gustafson and Crow 1999).
HARVEST may also be used to visually portray non-spatial outputs from harvest scheduling models such as SPECTRUM. Additionally, the spatial feasibility of the model solution can be evaluated when harvest activities are subject to constraints (such as adjacency) that are not addressed in the scheduling model.
The stochastic nature of HARVEST allows the user to replicate a management strategy many times to determine average spatial metrics with a confidence interval. The model also facilitates what-if experimentation to explore the spatial effects alternative management options.
HARVEST simulates harvest practices that reset the age of forested sites to a specific age. This includes even-aged timber harvest techniques (e.g., clearcutting, shelterwood, seed tree techniques) and uneven-aged group selection. Version 6.1 has some capability to simulate other uneven-aged techniques where such treatments predictably change stand structure, by using stand age as a surrogate for stand structure (i.e., stand development).
HARVEST allows the user to interactively simulate harvest activities that are targeted to forest type and Management Area. Management Areas are relatively large, multi-stand areas that are to be managed by specific objectives. The user specifies harvest parameters (such as harvest size, rotation age, green-up interval), for a Management Area and forest type. The process may be repeated for multiple Management Area/Forest Type combinations and time steps.
HARVEST v6.1 is similar to v6.0, but has several significant changes. Version 6.1 allows the user to specify any combination of two treatment effects when a harvest is implemented: 1) the age to which the treated cells are set and 2) whether the forest type will be converted upon cutting (e.g., planting). This is useful to simulate planting (or under-planting), or other silvicultural techniques that convert Forest Type and/or reset stand age. These combined effects can be used to simulate simple, deterministic succession or disturbances by converting the forest type of cells that are above a specified age without resetting the age. HARVEST 6.1 also can display the Forest Type and the Management Area maps at any time, and to save the Forest Type Map (since it now can change.) The menus of version 6.1 have also been re-designed.
HARVEST can conduct several analyses of the spatial pattern of the landscape both before and after simulated harvest. The patch structure (patches defined by stand age or forest type) can be analyzed for the entire mapped area or by individual Management Areas. The amount of forest interior and edge habitat can be calculated and displayed according to the definition of interior given by the user. Version 6.1 adds calculation of the fragmentation index GISfrag (Ripple et al. 1991). Analysis results of simulations can be saved spatially as GIS maps and in tabular form as a text file. An option to submit internal and saved maps to the landscape pattern analysis program APACK (Mladenoff and DeZonia 2004) is provided in version 6.1.
HARVEST was written in Fortran 95 using the Winteracter Windows libraries by Eric Gustafson and Luke Rasmussen.

Second Thoughts Game #63: Rangers 6, Indians 3
Kazmir pitches well but Rangers' three-run seventh inning dooms Tribe
The Indians' road trip from hell (or has it been TO hell, in the form of multiple cities?) reached its final stop Monday, as the Indians traveled to Texas for three. Their lone left-handed starter pitched well, and they received the kind of clutch hit they've been so desperately searching for. But none of that is enough when you're going as poorly as this team is.
"One bad pitch," "a game of inches" and other cliches
Early on in the day yesterday, I tweeted that Scott Kazmir would need his best slider and changeup against a Rangers team that had the second-highest run value against fastballs, especially in their flighty ballpark. As it turned out, a poorly-located one of each of those pitches in the fourth inning were what hurt him.
He rarely fell behind all night, throwing 72 of 103 pitches for strikes (70%). But he did to John Baker, and a 2-1 changeup that he left belt-high was deposited into a mass of Rangers fans. The blow was a softer one to the Indians than they were used to: the home run only tied the game instead of putting them in a hole, as has been the status quo recently.
Terry Francona chose to send him back out for the seventh with 96 pitches. Maybe the decision was debatable, but Kazmir had pitched pretty well. The first hitter he faced in the inning flew double over Nick Swisher's head in right, whom Francona said he had positioned shallow. What followed was a ball hit that Carlos Santana only deflected instead of fielding cleanly. Base hit, first and third, no outs. A matter of inches and things out of Kazmir's control ended his night, but it wasn't what ultimately doomed the team.
Left-handed lack of relief
Nick Hagadone seemed to be turning a corner lately. After nearly two months of maddening inconsistency and a demotion along the way, his previous three appearances had resulted in 3.0 scoreless innings.
After inducing a wild double play, he was one pitch away from getting out of a treacherous situation that many fans would argue he isn't trustworthy enough to be put into, in the first place. When his 95 mile per hour fastball was turned around by Lance Berkman and sent into another mass of Rangers fans, he just stared. And stared. And stared. Wondering where he went wrong, and why this was happening to him and his team. The moment was Hollywood-ly symbolic to the current state of the Indians.
For Hagadone, it was another failure. We have seen flashes of the multiple-inning weapon with a mid-90s fastball and a wipeout slider, but more of this version. The team has tried four different left-handed relievers so far this season, and none of them have been able to get the job done on a regular basis. Recently-signed J.C. Romero will probably be up next. But is the answer actually this game's starter being converted?
The offense's wheels sputter
This game was different for the Indians' offense. Rather than doing little early and clawing back late like they have been doing during this slide, they scored early and did nothing after.
Through the first three frames, it felt like this could be the game that not only ended the losing streak, but would get the ball rolling in a positive direction. Two two-out hits in the first inning. A pieced-together third that culminated with a bases-clearing three-run double from Carlos Santana.
But after that, there was essentially nothing. The lineup managed two baserunners over the final six innings: one via walk, one via "error" (a bad scoring decision, but alas). Santana's huge hit didn't shake anything loose, and another defeat was suffered.
What to make of it all
What this all added up to was an eighth consecutive loss, and 12th straight on the road. Failure from one area of the team has seemingly bred failure to all others, and we are seeing the result on a nightly basis.
I have repeatedly pointed out just how difficult this 25-game stretch from May 21-June 16 would be and has been for the Indians, but I certainly never imagined it going this woefully. By no means is this team as bad as they have showed recently. But in all likelihood, they weren't as good as they were once playing a few short weeks ago, either. A middle ground seems reasonable. This is probably a team that competes all summer, but is ultimately just flawed enough to not reach the postseason. In other words: Exactly what I and many others expected.
Roster business
Just before the game started, earlier suspicions were confirmed: the Indians acquired John McDonald from the Pirates for a player to be named or cash considerations. In corresponding moves, Brett Myers was moved to the 60-day disabled list (though still retroactive and he can return on the 20th), and Juan Diaz was eventually sent back to Columbus (today, officially). I assume that McDonald will serve as insurance to Mike Aviles and as a defensive replacement to Mark Reynolds late in games. Nothing more, nothing less.
Up next: The middle game of three in Arlington. Corey Kluber will take the ball, opposed by known Indians foe, Derek Holland.

Love Your Mudder!
Photos and Story by Tracy Middleton
What in 1492 would have been considered a cycle of torture, today's Americans pay good money to endure. And not just a few, either.
On Saturday, July 7, at least 7,500 willing participants engaged in what must be one of the most grueling mud runs yet devised. The event, Tough Mudder, a fund raising opportunity for the Wounded Warrior Project, found its southern California venue at Snow Valley, a ski resort in Running Springs. The barren slopes of granite scree, the snowboarding stunt ramps, the lumps and dips that last February provided chilly pleasures for skiers and snowboarders alike, on this sunny July day became the site of self-imposed punishment: a 10-mile obstacle course beginning at 6,800 feet and ascending to the 7,800-foot peak of the resort. Even the snow-making machines were called into service to create slippery surfaces and cool off sweating mud-runners.
Beginning at 8 a.m. and adding 200-300 runners every 20 minutes until well after 2 p.m., participants had to scale an 8-foot wall to reach the starting pen, then received a rallying pep-talk (ooh-rah!), listened to the national anthem, swore to help one another finish, and chanted "No Quit in Here" before the start. Men and women of all ages pitted their strength and resolve against rough trails at a challenging altitude and cruel obstacles with cruel-sounding names: Walk the Plank, Rogue, Death March, Berlin Walls, Electric Eel, and Electro-Shock Therapy. The latter two actually sting like a cattle fence – only worse because the runners are soaked when they enter. Participants with surgically-implanted metal plates or screws, as well as those with heart problems were strongly encouraged to avoid them. Other pain came in the form of barbed wire, corrugated metal pipes and just plain old gravel.
Personal trainers were there, like Brandyn Duff owner of Essential-Fitness, who ran with a client from Laguna Beach's Well Fitness Gym. Other fitness programs formed larger teams, such as Aliso Viejo's Aliso CrossFit, which devised a color scheme to help onlookers identify the 15 athletes from afar. A color, such as fluorescent orange, identified some teams. Others chose to add spectacle to an already spectacular event: men and women ran the course clad in tiny banana-hammocks, ballet tutus, superhero costumes, Hawaiian shirts and trunks and shirts and neckties. Most entertaining of all, be-wigged mermaids and mermen joined King Neptune replete with five-foot inflatable dolphins to run the course.
Spectators observed these splotches of color snaking up and down the black diamond slopes from the base of the resort.
Doggedly, teams stuck together, helping each other on every leg of the ordeal. Duff, who had also participated in the February Tough Mudder event in Temecula, remarked that these events are exciting because there's always a "mystery obstacle" runners encounter. This time it was rings swinging from straps over a pool of water. Duff, 26, who finished the run in an impressive 2.5 hours, says he varies his training regimen in anticipation of surprises. "Always tricking my body is a good way to prepare."
Periodically the athletes vanished in dust clouds, whirling skyward like smoke from a wild fire. Frequent water obstacles provided relief between the hydration stations, but they were not without their own perils. Walk the Plank involved a 10-foot jump off a platform into icy water, which quickly evaporated, leaving the runner simultaneously hot and cold. Losing grip on the rings and monkey bars landed runners in a pool of water, usually directly beneath the feet of other struggling climbers who might kick or fall on them. What mattered was not how long it took to finish, but that everyone did and went on to share a well-earned cup of Dos Equis, tales of struggle and victory, and a photo showing off their scrapes and bruises won in conquest of the Tough Mudder.

2012 Denali truck top speed
4 Answers
See this, 2012 GMC Acadia top speed: https://youtu.be/XCd_jGRCllM It's limited to around 108 mph. But, it's pretty fast getting there. By the way, where can you go 100 mph?... If you're caught, they'll take away your driver's license or slap you with an exhibition of speed ticket. This is no ordinary citation, it could cost you over $3,000! Now, tell me is that really worth it? But, your vehicle does have enormous power even though it's a thirsty, 600 horsepower, really? Who needs that much power, unless you're pulling out tree stumps.
Calif: 100mph or 40 mph over posted is reckless driving A minimum $1,000 fine A 30-day license suspension And 2 points going on your DMV driver's license record. 4 points and your license gets suspended for 'negligent driver' Or "scofflaw" very serious and if your insurance doesn't cancel you your permiums will skyrocket
And if you pass a school bus with red lights flashing, or do 55 in a school zone, same. I know..not what you asked. Just what it is
Yes, maybe we're just getting mature, I'm going to call it smarter! Back in high school days, guys used to brag about the powerful cars and V8 engines, we all did it. Hey, I remember people saying things like, sorry man you've only got a 350, while I've got a small block 400 or 455. And, pity the poor soul who had a Six cylinder or Four! People used to make fun of them saying that there must be a hamster powering their car. Looking back on this time just tells you how juvenile all of that really was. We were lucky just to have a car in high school! Well, a lot of time has passed and now its clear that economy is just as important as performance. There's nothing wrong with having a car with good pickup and all of us appreciate that, but, 100 mph. That's ridiculous! My current car has a rated top speed according the stats of 123 mph. SO WHAT? I'll never see that or even try. Why? It's too dangerous and what's the point? Let me tell you this, if you had a blow out or hit an object at any speed past 100 you would be in serious jeopardy of losing control of your car and could wind up being a paraplegic, do you really want to risk that? So, enjoy your car or vehicle, it's top end speed realistically safe to go is around 85 mph. Once your north of that, you had better be on the open road of a deserted highway , have speed rated tires and your car better be in top notch mechanical condition otherwise you're just looking for trouble.

Synopsis: Now paralyzed, a former Nazi doctor is forced to come to terms with his past, when a young man who he tortured years before is given the task of taking care of him.
Throughout the history of cinema there have been countless filmmakers, who have pushed the boundaries of the horror film genre by serving up heaping helpings of gratuitous and stylized acts of carnage. And while this method has more often than not proved to be very successful. These type of films have become all too common, thus jaded perspective audiences to the point that the something monumental has to come along and grab them by their jugular, in order to get a rise out of them.
This brings us to the vastly underrated Spanish horror film called In a Glass Cage, a film that since its initial release has been embroiled in controversy due to its shocking subject matter, that reportedly repulsed many viewers to the point that they walked out of the film.
So what is this film all about? The plot revolves around Klaus, a former Nazi doctor that raped and murdered numerous young boys. Now paralyzed he is at the mercy of those, who take care of him. His body is enclosed in a glass cage that looks a lot like a coffin. One day a young man named Angelo shows up out of the blue and insists on taking care of him. Not wanting his family to known about the skeletons in his closet, Klaus reluctantly agrees to let Angelo take care of him. It quickly becomes apparent that Angelo's intentions are not what they seems and it is revealed that he is one of Klaus's former victims. After this is revealed this sets up what the bulk of the film narrative is about, as Angelo now becomes the tormentor and Klaus gets a taste of his own medicine.
And while the subject matter at hand may be enough to turn more than a few viewers stomachs, the way in which director Agustí Villaronga, is far from ever being exploitive. There are no grey areas in this film, evil is depicted as pure evil. Also the film does a superb job exploring the darker side of humanity, with its unflinching portrayal of the aftereffects of corrupting a child and the cycle of violence that it sets in motion.
As strong as the story is and as repulsive as the majority of the characters which populate this film are. This film could have faded into obscurity if it were not for the mesmerizing performances of its entire cast, especially David Sust in the role of Angelo. He gives a charismatic performances that is utterly convincing. Other performances of note include Marisa Paredes (High Heels, All About Mother) in the role of Klaus's possessive wife Griselda, who from the moment Angelo arrives feels threaten by his presence and Günter Meisner (The Boys From Brazil) in the role of Klaus.
When discussing In a Glass Cage, one must not overlook the importance of its atmospheric visuals, which often play an integral role in the symbolism that is unfolding on screen. Right from the get go, this film infuses its strong visual presence, with a scene of a young naked boy's corpse hanging in a derelict building. Another area in which this films visuals often excel are during the death sequences, most notably the scene where Angelo stalks and kills Griselda. Of course the scenes in which Angelo kills young boys that he has lured back to the room where Klaus now resides, are the hardest to watch. Ultimately In a Glass Cage is a grueling cinematic experience that is sure to leave indelible mark of your psyche.
The BluRay:
In a Glass Cage comes on a 50 GB dual layer BluRay. The film is presented in a 1080 progressive anamorphic widescreen. Cult Epics originally released this film on DVD in 2003, that release was non anamorphic, a standards conversion and it had a myriad of other problems. Needless to say, this new 2011 transfer from Cult Epics is vastly superior in very way, black and contrast levels look consistently great, details look crisp, flesh tones look healthy and there are no problems with compression.
This release comes with two audio options, a DTS-HD MA 5.1 Surround mix in Spanish and a DTS-HD MA Stereo mix in Spanish. Both audio mixes are in great shape, as dialog is always clear, everything sounds balanced and the more ambient aspects of the soundtrack are well represented.Also included with this release are removable English subtitles that are easy to follow and error free.
Extras include a trailer for the film (2 minutes 55 seconds – anamorphic widescreen), a Q & A with screenwriter / director Agustí Villaronga (13 minutes 43 seconds – anamorphic widescreen), a interview with Agustí Villaronga, actor Lluis Homar and actress Marina Gatell (35 minutes 17 seconds – anamorphic widescreen, in Spanish with English subtitles) and three short films directed by Agustí Villaronga, 'Anta Mujer' (22 minutes 30 seconds – 4:3 full frame, in Spanish with English subtitles), 'Laberint' (11 minutes 29 seconds – 4:3 full frame, in Spanish with English subtitles) and 'Al Mayurca' (23 minutes 32 seconds – 4:3 full frame, in Spanish with English subtitles).
Topics discussed in the interview / featurette and the Q & A include, how the two main inspirations behind In a Glass Cage are Gilles de Rais and the concentration camps from World War II, the deliberate visual look of the film and how it was inspired by Belgium paintings, other films and how they have indirectly influenced him his films, casting, the score, exploring the darker side of humanity and why it would be impossible to make this film in today's cinematic climate. The comments from Lluis Homar and Marina Gatell, primarily focus on working with Agustí Villaronga.
The three short films included with this release represent Agustí Villaronga's cinematic output before In a Glass Cage, his first feature length film. Content wise, all three of these three shorts are more experimental then In a Glass Cage. Quality wise, though presented in Hi Def, all three short films have been sourced from VHS, which is reportedly the best available elements known to exist. Overall In a Glass Cage gets a solid release from Cult Epics.
Note: Cult Epics is also releasing In a Glass Cage on DVD.

From Luci and I, along with the three wise guys, er, wise men – Gaston, Giant Gaston, and Jack Schitt, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, a happy and healthy 2013, and an all-round wonderful life.
Tag Archives: Jack Schitt
I'd Like To Thank My Parents
After a year in which he's played a charming
stripper blogger, a devoted husband and a goofy, underachieving cop ferry worker, Channing Tatum Dennis Kane has been named to a prominent pop culture honour: People's "sexiest man alive."
Alabama Ontario-born actor blogger said his first thought on hearing the news was: "Y'all are messing with me."
Known for his breakout role in the
dance film Step Up drama Gomez Sucks, as well as appearances in Stop-Loss, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Dear John Walmart and the Powell River beer store, Tatum Dennis had a busy slate in 2012.
He promoted the commercial release of three
movies YouTube movies – the male stripper tale Magic Mike, romance film The Vow and the comedy remake 21 Jump Street. Gaston Typing, Gaston Tours Powell River, and The Secrets Behind The Rubik's Cube. His upcoming releases include Foxcatcher and 10 Years. Gaston And Jack Schitt Take Hollywood, and Historic Gomez Goals. Tatum Dennis joins past People honourees such as Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon.
Along with
Tatum, Dennis, People unveiled other contenders on its 2012 list, including country singer-songwriter Blake Shelton, South African double-amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius and actors Damien Lewis, Richard Gere, and Denzel Washington.
Second Fiddle
From time to time Danno asks how Jack Schitt is doing, which I appreciate very much. It just seems that Gaston gets all the attention and no one except Danno cares about Jack Schitt, who stays in the background while Gaston is out front hitting on women and cats. So Danno, thanks for caring.
Friggin Gaston.
Room With A View
I've shown this before but a few things have been added so I thought I'd show it again. Hey, it's a free country, right?
Welcome to my spare room. There's a high concentration of 1950's Habs stuff, the sweaters in the case range from the thirties to the fifties, and you might even see Gaston and Jack Schitt somewhere along the line. Not that you'd want to see Gaston but anyway.
Pretty Sure You're Going To Have A Great Year
Happy New Year from me, Gaston, Jack Schitt, and Little Dennis.
One of my New Year's resolutions is to lose ten pounds. If I could just do this, I'd be able to see my shoes again. Another resolution is to win the lottery. Then there's that plan to walk, just once, the 32 kilometers to work to see if I can do it.
Habs in Sunrise, Florida, not far from Miami, to take on the Panthers and hopefully continue their new and improved play seen in the last two games. Canada's juniors play the USA at the same time, and although the Americans haven't had a good tournament, I'm sure they'll be pumped to play the Canadians.
So it's a fine night of hockey coming up.
Monday is the Winter Classic between the Rangers and Flyers and they're talking of mild weather in Philadelphia which could ruin the whole thing. That's fine by me because I think the whole concept is stupid. Not only are these games at the mercy of Mother Nature, but you've got a rink in the middle of a ball park or football field, and the seating starts so far away that those in the first row need binoculars. Those in the upper reaches of the stands need Hubble space telescopes.
Something inside me is yearning for a great thaw on this day. Maybe I shouldn't think this way. Maybe I'm just miserable. But I think these things are, like I said, stupid.
Once again, Happy New Year. Hope you don't get the flu even once. And I looked into my crystal ball and saw that 2012 is going to be your best year in a long time. Every night will be like the night you and that special someone found yourself in the back of a Volkswagen van with Barry White crooning through the speakers.
Gaston Doesn't Know Jack Schitt
This young fellow in the Habs uniform is Jack Schitt, the newest member of the Kane household. He's from the 1950's or 60's or maybe even before, looks like he's handmade, and right now he's still trying to get comfortable.
What I'm concerned about is, Gaston doesn't know Jack Schitt, doesn't want to know Jack Schitt, and couldn't care less about Jack Schitt.
I'm worried things could get ugly.

"Denise Gill is the ultimate professional. She is highly intelligent, socially and interpersonally astute, a master negotiator, and she is the hardest-working agent we've ever met (and we've moved 12 times, so we can spot the 'real-deal' a mile away). She is truly genuine in her care for her clients before, during, and after the real estate process.
I have referred anyone and everyone I encounter to her, and I can unequivocally recommend Denise."
by mary
"Denise is one hard worker! She spent ample time with us to get to know Wheaton. She showed us many homes and helped us see pros and cons to them. She is very easy to work with and sees the individual's styles and needs. She works efficiently and is a clear communicator. She sees what each house is valued at and has good skills in helping us get our home, which had 2 other offers. We were able to get our dream home. Thank you, Denise."
by Janeickes
"I'm a licensed broker who develops training for real estate professionals. Consequently, I have very high standards when it comes to what I expect from other brokers. Denise Gill assisted my wife and me in selling our home, and in all ways possible she exceeded our hopes and expectations. She's exceptionally detail-oriented and knowledgeable, and she's also thoughtful and kind. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home."
by m destewart
"We highly recommend Denise! We bought, then sold, then bought again with Denise. She helped us see the potential in our first house and advised us how to prepare to sell it several years later. She knows the area well and had a good selling strategy for us. We're not typical buyers, and she was more than willing to check out all the odd listings we wanted to see."
by user557495
"Denise worked patiently to help me find the perfect home. She never tried to talk me into something I didn't want or couldn't afford, but she did try to talk me out of things she knew I wouldn't like in the long run. Reliable, trustworthy, and on your side--you cannot go wrong signing with Denise."

The policy on Social Responsibility and Investment Considerations applies to the invested assets of the University of Wisconsin System Trust Funds and to individuals interested in providing input regarding the corporate policies or practices of the companies and other entities in which the University of Wisconsin System invests.
The purpose of this statement is to communicate the Board of Regents' policies and practices for considering the various aspects of the social responsibility of the companies, governments, or other entities in which it invests University of Wisconsin System Trusts Funds.
Policy Statement
The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, in discharging its fiduciary responsibilities for UW System Trust Funds, will take into account concerns about corporate and other security issuers' social responsibility as outlined below.
- The primary fiduciary responsibility of the Board of Regents is to maximize financial return on invested assets, taking into account an appropriate degree of risk.
- However, the Board acknowledges the importance of maintaining an awareness of public concerns about corporate policies or other security issuers' policies or practices that are discriminatory [as defined by s. 36.29(1), Wis. Stats.] or cause substantial social injury¹.
- To enhance the Board's awareness of social concerns the Board of Regents, through the Business and Finance Committee, directs the University of Wisconsin System Trust Funds Office to conduct a proxy review to highlight shareholder proxy resolutions involving some aspect of social responsibility (e.g., those related to discrimination, environmental degradation, or other potential causes of substantial social injury). Such proxy proposals will be voted in accordance with the guidelines provided in Regent Policy Document 31-10, "Proxy Voting."
- The Regents also wish to solicit input from students, faculty, alumni and citizens on matters related to social concerns. To obtain this input, the Business and Finance Committee of the Board of Regents may schedule a public forum at the request of parties interested in presenting such concerns to the Board. The purpose of this forum is to offer the broadest opportunity for University of Wisconsin System constituencies to present such information to the Board of Regents.
- Cognizant of the University of Wisconsin System, state, and federal commitments to environmental protection, the Board of Regents Business and Finance Committee, in discharging its responsibility for managing the University of Wisconsin System Trust Funds, does so with the expectation that the companies and other entities in which it invests will evidence a similar commitment in their respective activities. In the event that any persons or group of persons, after careful investigation and evaluation of facts in evidence, concludes that a company in which the University of Wisconsin System Trust Funds has investments appears not to be performing in accord with the Committee's expectations and the appropriate governmental standards in this area, the Committee will afford those persons an opportunity to detail their evidence and concerns to the Committee. The Committee may afford the company or other entity involved an opportunity to respond to the concerns expressed, before deciding what course of action is appropriate.
- In accordance with s. 36.29(1), Wis. Stats., all investments "…made in any company, corporation, subsidiary, or affiliate that practices or condones through its actions discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, creed or sex. . . ." shall be divested in as prudent but rapid a manner as possible. The Board of Regents, to facilitate the application of this statute, interprets the language above as follows:
- The words "that practices or condones through its actions" shall be interpreted to mean "employing persons in nations which by their laws discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, creed or sex."
- The University of Wisconsin System's investment counsel and its Trust Officer shall bring to the attention of the Business and Finance Committee reports of the existence of laws in any other country that require companies doing business in such country to practice or condone discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, creed or sex. The Business and Finance Committee shall investigate such reports with a view toward determining whether this subsection shall be applied to investments in companies employing persons in the country in question.
- The Regents are aware that a position on social responsibility may affect potential contributors to the University System. For potential contributors who wish their donations to be invested in funds with social concerns as a high priority, University of Wisconsin System Trust Funds staff may explore the use of investment alternatives to meet such objectives.
Oversight, Roles and Responsibilities
The Board of Regents has ultimate fiduciary responsibility for the management and administration of the University of Wisconsin System Trust Funds. The Board's Business and Finance Committee is delegated oversight of the management and administration of the Trust Funds. The UW System Trust Funds Office is responsible for conducting proxy reviews and exploration of socially responsible investment alternatives. The Executive Director and Corporate Secretary of the Office of the Board of Regents has responsibility for scheduling requested public forums under Section 4 of this policy.

¹"Substantial social injury" with regard to corporate or other security issuers' behavior is defined as the injurious impact on employees, consumers, and/or other individuals or groups resulting directly from specific actions or inactions by a company. Included in this category are actions that violate, subvert, or frustrate the enforcement of rules of domestic or international law intended to protect individuals and/or groups against deprivation of health, safety, basic freedoms or human rights. Only actions or inactions by companies that are proximate to and directly responsible for identifiable social injury will be regarded as falling within these guidelines.

Stimulus case bolstered as eurozone inflation revised down
Inflation across the 19-country eurozone was lower than previously thought in January, official figures have shown.
The development will likely further strengthen expectations that the European Central Bank (ECB) will back more stimulus next month.
Eurostat, the European Union's statistics agency, said the annual rate of inflation in January was 0.3%, against its previous estimate of 0.4%.
The revision was not anticipated in the markets and comes ahead of Monday's first estimate for February. The figure could go a long way to determining what the ECB does at its next policy meeting on March 10.
The ECB is in the midst of a massive stimulus programme that is designed to get inflation back toward its target of just below 2%.
By keeping interest rates low and pumping money into the economy via a bond-buying programme worth over a trillion euros, the ECB is hoping to generate enough economic activity to get prices rising.
ECB president Mario Draghi has repeatedly hinted that the central bank is ready to consider more support for the economy.
Inflation has been below target since February 2013 for a variety of reasons, not least the fall in oil prices.
The consensus in markets is that the rate will drop to 0.1% in February because of renewed weakness in oil prices, which analysts say will seal the deal on further stimulus.
"Caution is very much the watchword for Draghi and co. at present," said Dennis de Jong, managing director of UFX.com.
Underlying price pressures in the eurozone are very soft. Even after stripping out the volatile items of energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, the eurozone's core inflation rate remains below target at 1%.
On an individual basis, six of the eurozone's countries - Cyprus, Greece, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Spain - are currently recording inflation rates below zero.

GSE Sponsors Great Teaching Seminar
Posted: December 20, 1999 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
The Graduate School of Education (GSE) is cosponsoring the first George Mason University Great Teaching Seminar on Tuesday, Jan. 18, to create excitement among faculty members about improving instruction. The seminar, held from noon to 4 p.m. in Mason Hall, Room D3, is an interactive, small-group experience in which each professor highlights one great teaching idea and receives help in solving instructional dilemmas.
"The Great Teaching Seminar encourages faculty members from different disciplines to talk to each other about instruction," says Mark Goor, GSE. "We have so much to learn from the modes and thinking that other disciplines use to prepare students. The seminar elevates the discussion about good teaching to a new level of importance."
The seminar is open to all faculty members. Those participating should bring a brief description of a successful teaching idea and a statement of an instructional challenge. Refreshments will be provided.
For more information, or to volunteer to serve as a small-group facilitator, contact Goor at firstname.lastname@example.com.

There Really Are Monsters Among Us...
Imagine that, being kidnapped as a 10 year old child. Imagine being held captive for most of that time in a small cell below a garage. Imagine the fear, then the terror, the isolation, the hopelessness of her situation. Imagine enduring as did she, being the captive of someone, someone whom I believe must have been a monster, for 8 1/2 years. Then think about it time wise, because 8 1/2 years while long, does not say it right: it was about 3,102.5 days, or 74,460 hours. Imagine the slow passage of each of the 4,467,600 minutes, or the interminable ticking of each of the 268,056,000 seconds as they dragged on. It is only my guess, but I guess she was at the mercy of a twisted, deranged, criminal who was in my mind probably a pedophile - for all that time; and I would bet that much of it seemed like an eternity.
Imagine the thoughts that went through her head, imagine living with those thoughts since you were 10 years old, up until you were 18 years old. One of those thoughts has been reported as being: "I was very distraught and very angry... from FoxNews.com @ . I'll bet she was; and that anger built up over all those years. I'll not go into the details of her other statements, but from some of them it is apparent she has suffered severe mental trauma at the hands of this, in my opinion, beast.
In that sense, it is sad that monsters of almost all sorts fear the light of day. Just as all sorts of imaginary monsters hide in the shadows, so to do the real life monsters like pedophiles, kidnappers, and the like. The guy who allegedly kidnapped the child, now a lady, in question went out and committed suicide just hours after she had escaped from him. It seems he was too fearful that the light of justice was about to shine upon him, the light reflected off of the sword that justice wields. That sword would have undoubtedly torn apart the curtains behind which this fiend had his dirty secrets hidden away, and would have exposed them and him for all to see.
Why did I say it is it sad, you may wonder that he feared the light of day? It is sad because now much of the truth will never be revealed because he quite possibly was too afraid to be exposed for what he must have been. Sure a lot of it will come to light through the accounts given by the young lady, the survivor of this alleged horrible atrocity; but only what she can bring herself to tell us about. I think we would have learned more from the man who was her captor.
You may also wonder why we need to learn as much about this as we can. Well, let me be very blunt - so that we do not remain indifferent because of our ignorance or because of our not wanting to see. Anything we can learn about evildoers who kidnap, torture, molest or otherwise harm children should be brought to the light of day for all to see if only so we know what to look for to prevent such from happening again.
When you see a child being badly handled by a supposed parent, and the child seems terrified, why not stop and question the supposed parent? If you are too afraid to question them, then why not call 911. If you see someone pull a screaming child into a car, write down the license number and description of the car, the child and the possible abductor, then call the police. If you see things of any nature, out of the ordinary, that appear to be possibly criminal - why not call 911. When you hear that the police in your town have been forbidden to engage in high speed pursuits, think about this case because this girl was abducted and thrown into a van while the bad guy made his getaway with her. What would have happened had the police seen him go through a red light in your town? Would they have been allowed to pursue him. make sure to give politicians a wake up call when they enact ridiculous restrictions on law enforcement in the course of their duties.
We have to wake up and realize, if we do not do such things, then they will continue pretty much unabated except for the few the police can thwart. There are an awful lot of monsters out there, real nasty, vile, dirty minded monsters who want to hurt our children, and hurt us - why not do all you can to help put an end to it.
Go to the link above, and read the article. Then read the other linked articles on that news site. Then go out and do something even if only writing a letter you your local politico to see what he or she is doing to prevent such things in your neck of the woods. These are our children folks, and there really are monsters out to get them.
As for this particular young lady; hopefully the press will not hound her. Hopefully she will seek out and receive therapy that will be effective. Hopefully she will blossom into a young woman who has the traits of compassion, tranquility, inner peace, and forgiveness. Not forgiveness for her captor but for those whom she probably at one time believed abandoned her, and most of all for herself. I say this last because she is likely at some level to blame herself for what happened even though it was not her fault at all. Nothing that happened in those 8 1/2 years was her fault, not one little thing. The only one at fault, as I see it, was a monster; and now that monster is dead.
Be safe,
Glenn B

some guy tortured a girl for 8 and a half years, you go out and shoot bears and give them even less chance. i dont see much of a difference, 'There Really Are Monsters Among Us' and you're one of them

Yes and we ate the bear too, and used its hide as a rug. It was absolutely delicious. We did not murder anyone, nor violate any law, nor torture anyone, nor sexually abuse anyone. We had our licenses. The bear was killed with one killing shot. We did a natural thing as omnivores, we secured flesh for the eating. We did this ethically and legally too.
We have no qualms with that, and neither does the great majority of the people in the world. Can you imagine that? No, of course you cannot, your mind is too apparently too small as exhibited by your twisting together of two totally different subjects that have virtually no relationship.
As a matter of fact, we take great pride in the fact that our money for hunting licenses, and all of the money we spent of hunting gear excise taxes, went to wildlife conservation. We also take great pride in the fact that our money supports hunting and firearms ownership, and helped the economy of Maine.
We will continue to legally hunt and fish as we please. We will continue to eat meat and fish and fowl. We will continue to enjoy our nature and the fruits of it. I will continue to oppose murder and torture and sexual abuse of little children.
My guess is you have no clue about hunting, but rather believe the hype spewed out by, in my opinion, hypocritical groups like PETA. You have no idea of what constitutes a monster, and what constitutes a man who is anything but monstrous. It is a shame that people like you don't know the difference, and I would bet you support unrestricted abortion, that you oppose the death penalty even for child rapists and child killers, and that in some way shape or form you understand what drives a pedophile and you sympathize with them. In my opinion, you believe the hype and ignore the truth.
Maybe you should tag along on a hunting trip someday; you might learn something about responsibility, about camaraderie, about wildlife, about nature, about conservation, about ethics, about life in general, and about human nature. At the very least you would actually know something about the subject you condemn based upon your actual experience.
All the best,
Glenn B

By the way, why not sign your name next time, or are you afraid that the boogey man might come and hide under your bed if you do? It is typical of people who leave comments like your to do so annonymously until challenged to leave their names. Then after the challenge they usually leave a psuedonym. Just the typical whimpish manner of the hypocrite from what I can tell.

Hey Nameless,
Before I forget to take this opportunity, here is an offer to you my annonymous detractor:
Anytime you want to tag along on a legal hunt on which I am planning to go, you may do so. Of course you must follow all legal regulations for the hunt, and as apply to wildlife, and the like, and pay your own way. You do not have to hunt, just observe. Why not come along and learn something. Then you can blast hunters all you like based upon your experience witht he truth, or maybe based upon the truth you will change your tune. Of course, my guess is that you would sing a different tune once you experience the a real hunt carried out by legal, responsible and ethical hunters. Then again my guess is you would never agree to be open minded enough to accept such a learning experience about a legal activity.
If you do accept though, I'll be deer hunting again this fall. The invite is good then.
All the best,
Glenn B
