Recorded at the Lensic Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico on January 18, 2012.
John Sayles, born in upstate New York in 1950, has a storied career as an independent filmmaker, screenwriter, and writer of fiction and nonfiction. He has written and directed many films including Return of the Secaucus Seven, Lone Star, Passion Fish, The Secret of Roan Inish, and Matewan.� Writing scripts for others�he has a long list of credits as screenwriter�has generated the funds to support the production of most of his own films.
Sayles� first novel, Pride of the Bimbos, was published in 1975 and was followed in 1977 by the novel Union Dues and a story collection, The Anarchist�s Collection, in 1979. Los Gusanos, his sweeping tale of Cuban expatriates in Miami, followed in 1991, and his most recent novel, A Moment in the Sun, was released this year by McSweeney�s and clocks in at 900+ pages. The novel is �a brutal picaresque complete with melancholy whores, militaristic robber barons, desperate cut-throat prospectors, and puppet soldiers�� according to William Vollmann, that looks at the United States discovering its own size and wealth and taking giant first steps at imperialism in the late 19th century.
Besides numerous awards and nominations for his film work and screenwriting including a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Writer�s Guild of America, literary recognition for Sayles has come in the form of an O. Henry Award for his first published story and nominations for both a National Book Award and the National Book Critics Award for the novel Union Dues. In 1985 he received a MacArthur Fellowship for his work in both film and writing.[audio:http://media.lannan.org/podcasts/john-sayles-120118.mp3|artists=Lannan Readings and Conversations|titles=John Sayles with Francisco Goldman]

Commentary: Mortgages Lost in the CloudBy
The U.S. and other Western democracies have grown wealthy over the past three centuries for a simple reason: Their citizens have been able to establish clear title to land, buildings, and other property. So argues Hernando de Soto, the Peruvian economist, in his influential 2000 book The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else. While people in developed nations can borrow against their property and use the money to start businesses and accumulate wealth, he wrote, squatters in countries like Peru have no such option. Property rights beget prosperity.
That's why the burgeoning foreclosure mess in the U.S. strikes at the nation's economic heart. Confusion is so rife that Bank of America (BAC), the biggest mortgage lender, suspended foreclosures in all 50 states to determine whether faulty documents were used to confiscate homes. Americans took their title-recording system for granted, abused it during the housing boom, and let it deteriorate. "Somehow in the last 10 or 15 years, everything that was good record-keeping isn't telling the truth anymore," says de Soto, reached by phone while traveling in Copenhagen. "My feeling is this: Your recession is going to last. And it's going to last, and it's going to last, because essentially the trust has broken down."
De Soto may be an alarmist, but he has correctly identified why the foreclosure mess is not a simple clerical problem. It's part of a broader breakdown in the financial world—the one that nearly caused a depression in 2008 when banks and other financial players couldn't tell whose balance sheets were stuffed with toxic subprime mortgage debt and whose weren't. Unable to trust one another, the big institutions pulled back from every asset except Treasury debt. At the height of the crisis, even stalwarts like AT&T couldn't borrow in the commercial paper market for durations of more than a day—meaning they were only 24 hours removed from default.
That crisis is past, but its causes aren't. Uncertainty still reigns. Its current manifestation is faintly ridiculous: Lenders can't say for sure who holds a mortgage—which means that sales can't go through. Buyers won't put down good money for a property if they aren't sure they'll get clear title to it, nor will lenders extend loans. Buyers of hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of mortgage-backed securities may have grounds to sue. That could "rock the market," says Joshua H. Rosner, managing director of Graham Fisher & Co., a research firm.
All this at a time when every imaginable bit of information—from your bank statement to your Facebook photos—seems to be stored in the cloud, ready for instant retrieval. Google "who owns my mortgage?" and you get a quarter of a million results in a quarter of a second. What the cloud can't tell you is what you really want to know, which is who actually does own your mortgage—that is, who has the power to throw you out on the street if you stop paying. The only way to verify that is to leave the cloud and dive into a recording system that predates the founding of the U.S.
Titles and mortgages on real property are officially recorded in county clerks' offices, a slow-moving, old-fashioned, deliberate world of ink, paper, and filing cabinets. The process has been perfected over a millennium, going back to the Domesday Book, the survey of English property completed in 1086 for William the Conqueror. This paper-based system, though admirably accurate and permanent, wasn't equipped for the era of rapid-fire refinancing and securitization. When over 8 million new and used homes are sold per year, as at the height of the boom, and most loans are packaged into securities, you need a lot of clerks.
The mortgage industry responded to the scale and speed of the modern housing market by creating an electronic overlay called Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems (MERS) in 1997. MERS, however, lacks the thoroughness and—more important—the legal standing of the old system. Some judges have rejected foreclosures based on MERS when the party claiming to hold the mortgage couldn't produce the note to prove to the court's satisfaction that it was in fact the creditor. The courts want to see paper.
State and local governments could have invested in digital record-keeping systems for real estate to preserve every legally important feature of the paper method, but with the speed and accessibility of a Google or a Facebook. Why didn't they? William Raftery, a communications and research specialist at the National Center for State Courts in Williamsburg, Va., says three things got in the way: state laws, which no one bothered to amend; court precedents dating back hundreds of years that demand paper records; and inertia. Says Raftery: "Things of this nature only happen when circumstances demand it."
The private sector couldn't afford to wait for government to catch up. Hence the MERS database, a unit of MERSCorp in Reston, Va., which was founded by Fannie Mae (FNM), Freddie Mac (FRE), and the mortgage industry. The concept was to avoid the cost and delay of recording the passing of loans from one party to another by naming Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems as the mortgagee for the lifetime of the loan, regardless of how many times it changed hands and to whom.
Some judges accepted MERS' right to foreclose on a delinquent homeowner. Others didn't. Instead of untangling the confusion early on, MERS forged ahead. It's now the mortgagee for more than 60 percent of new mortgage loans.
A promissory note—i.e., a paper I.O.U.—is the only legal proof of creditorship that courts ordinarily accept. Incredibly, though, the Florida Bankers Assn. told the state Supreme Court that when its members converted to electronic records, "the physical document was deliberately eliminated to avoid confusion." Further angering judges, MERS deputized bank executives to handle foreclosures, making it unclear who the people appearing in court really worked for. In Brooklyn, state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Schack in 2009 rejected a foreclosure in which a Bank of New York executive identified herself as a MERS vice-president. He called her "a milliner's delight, by virtue of the number of hats she wears." Ally Financial said in September that it found a "technical" deficiency at its GMAC Mortgage unit that let employees sign foreclosure documents without a notary present or with information they didn't know was true.
If the transition from paper to terabytes were unprecedented, it would be easier to give lenders a pass. But the banks behaved more straightforwardly in 2003 when they sought permission to digitize paper checks—a similar legal leap, since electronic copies had long been considered unacceptable in court. The banks lobbied Congress, which in 2003 passed the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act. Now your monthly bank statement contains images of your checks instead of the paper, saving time and money. Because the reform was done with the blessing of Congress, there have been few problems.
MERS executives say their system will overcome legal challenges. "We find it very ironic that we're being accused of all these different wrongdoings when in fact we brought a lot of clarity to not just the industry but homeowners," says Karmela Lejarde, a MERS spokeswoman. There's some truth in what Lejarde says. This year, MERS opened its system so homeowners can find out for free online who their loan's servicer is and (usually, but not always) who owns the loan.
The problem is that the data in the MERS system isn't verifiable or legally binding. That recalls de Soto's insight into what made the U.S. work so well in the first place. "What characterized the rise of capitalism was that you actually created facts—statements that can be tested for truth. Now you've got plenty of information, but you don't have facts that can be tested for truth. Can you have a prosperous market economy without knowledge of who owns what and how they're related?" We know the answer to that one.
With John Gittelsohn

As of 8:40 p.m. Dallas time, we're awaiting the official recording of a House vote on an amendment that would begin the process of repealing "don't ask don't tell."
The vote was called in favor of the ayes, meaning the amendment passed preliminarily, but opponents have requested a recorded vote. As soon as the official tally comes in — which should be less than 30 minutes from now — we'll post a story over on the main page.
Again, you can watch the House proceedings live by going here. And see our coverage of an earlier vote by the Senate Armed Services Committee below.
Even assuming that the proposal has indeed passed the House, it will still need to pass the full Senate, and some Republicans are threatening a filibuster.

Enchiladas De Mole
Each enchilada was stuffed with grilled chicken breast slices marinated in lime. Then, they were topped with two types of cheese and mole sauce. Fresh green beens sautéed with garlic and olive oil, pico de gallo and red rice completed the plate.
Res Ahumado
Giant chunks of tender brisket are smothered with chipotle-guajillo pepper sauce. This (seriously) gargantuan platter offers sautéed spinach, pan-fried potatoes and a generous mound of pico de gallo.
Chunky Guacamole
Chips & Salsa
Start to finish, this was a meal we'd be more than happy to eat any day of the week. But, we'll definitely be skipping the sangria next time.

I wonder if who added the third rock is the original person who perched the first or someone new? It is sort of like having a conversation with people unseen. I will probably hike past there again next week and will see if anything has changed.

With a huge lead, an NFL record and a sore right shoulder, Kurt Warner headed to the bench late in the third quarter against Jacksonville.
He never expected he might have to re-enter the game.
Warner completed his first 15 passes and broke the NFL's single-game record for completion percentage, and the Arizona Cardinals dominated the Jaguars in a 31-17 victory Sunday.
"Kurt's found the fountain of youth somewhere," teammate Larry Fitzgerald said. "I don't know where it is, but we're blessed to have his services. He played error-free football to put our offense in a great position. When he's back there in that kind of rhythm, it's hard to deal with him."
Jacksonville trailed 24-3 after two quarters _ the largest halftime deficit at home in team history _ and was down 28 points before mounting a mild comeback.
The only good news for the Jaguars (0-2)? Hardly anyone in Jacksonville saw it. The game was blacked out on local television, and the stands were half full.
They missed Warner put on quite a show for Arizona (1-1). He was 24 of 26 passing for 243 yards, with two touchdowns, no turnovers and no sacks. He was much sharper than he was last week, when he threw two interceptions and was sacked three times.
"It was nice the way I played last week to come back and have this kind of game," Warner said.
Warner tied Jake Plummer's franchise record by opening the game with 15 consecutive completions. By completing 92.3 percent of his passes, he broke the previous NFL record set by Vinny Testaverde in 1993. Testaverde, playing for Cleveland, completed 21 of 23 passes against the Los Angeles Rams.
"We didn't let nothing go over the top," Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis said. "If he would hit 20 balls deep, then that's something we don't want to be a part of. But we wanted him to check the ball down. We just have to tackle better."
Warner hooked up with Jason Wright for a 5-yard score late in first half, then found Larry Fitzgerald for a 22-yarder to make it 31-3 late in the third.
Not wanting to risk injury, coach Ken Whisenhunt replaced Warner with former first-round draft pick Matt Leinart. But Leinart struggled, and Jacksonville rallied.
David Garrard found Marcedes Lewis for a touchdown on third-and-long, then hooked up with Mike Sims-Walker for a score on a fourth-down play that made it 31-17.
With the Jaguars driving, Warner started getting ready. But Garrard's fourth-down pass into the end zone bounced off Nate Hughes' shoulder pads.
"I just missed it," Hughes said, holding back tears. "I saw it. I just missed it. I can't even explain it. Very disappointed. I was pretty much hoping to get another chance the next drive, just get another shot."
The Cards finally celebrated after Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie intercepted Garrard's pass with 2:25 to play.
"Obviously, we weren't making the plays necessary to continue drives," Garrard said. "We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We were the ones pretty much stopping ourselves."
Jacksonville's biggest problem might have been a questionable non-call. Officials didn't whistle pass interference on Adrian Wilson in the second quarter. Wilson hit Torry Holt just before Garrard's third-down pass got there, but no flags were thrown.
So instead of Jacksonville getting a first down, Josh Scobee lined up for a 46-yard field goal attempt that would have cut the deficit to 10-6. Calais Campbell blocked the kick, and Antrel Rolle scooped up the loose ball and returned it 83 yards for a touchdown and a 17-3 lead.
"Once I had the ball in my hands, I knew I could take it the distance," Rolle said.
It wasn't all good for Rolle. He had one of nine fumbles in a sloppy game. Arizona had five of them _ all in the first half.
Maybe it was the heat and humidity or just East Coast jitters. After all, the Cards went 0-5 on the East Coast in the 2008 regular season.
"This was a good win for us, especially a 1 o'clock game on the East Coast, which is something that hasn't been done in a long time," Whisenhunt said. "I know there were a lot of crazy plays, but I like the way our team responded on both sides of the ball."
Warner barely got touched, and the one time he did, the play was negated because of an offsides penalty.
The Jaguars were even more inept on offense _ at least until they hit desperation mode. Rookie tackles Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton struggled again. Sims-Walker caught six passes for 106 yards. Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 66 yards. Garrard was 23 of 43 for 282 yards.
But he was sacked four times and fumbled three times, and the Jags had three turnovers and eight penalties.
"As an offense, you can't sputter like that," Jones-Drew said. "That's what we did. We have to find a way. It comes down to us manning up and assuming the blame and looking in the mirror and see what you have to do better as a man to change."
NOTES: Jaguars CB Derek Cox (concussion) and WR Troy Williamson (shoulder) left the game and did not return. Cards RT Levi Brown left with a sprained left ankle, but returned. ... Cards rookie RB Beanie Wells had two of the nine fumbles. ... Jacksonville's worst halftime deficit came on Dec. 17, 1995, at Detroit. The Jags trailed 27-0.

Music at the Crossroads: Eagles will bring tour to Houston
June 2, 2010 at 1:02 a.m.
Updated June 3, 2010 at 1:03 a.m.
Hey, music fans,
The Eagles - yes, all four of them - will be landing soon in Houston.
Our old pals Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh and Tim Schmit are going on tour this summer.
It's been two years since their last tour and three years since their last album came out, but I'm excited to hear they're at least still touring and sound just as good as they did in the 1970s.
I know I'm not alone in saying how HUGE of an Eagles fan I am.
We're in for a great show here, folks.
Up until Michael Jackson's death, the Eagles had the highest-selling album in the country.
Now, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, Jackson's "Thriller" album and the Eagles' "Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" are now tied at 29 million each.
But who could forget the songs that made them legends, like "Hotel California," "Take It Easy," "Life In The Fast Lane," "One Of These Nights," "Lyin' Eyes," and many others.
The band broke up in the 1980s, and reunited in 1994 for their reunion album, "Hell Freezes Over."
This is going to be a great concert, one you die-hard Eagles fans won't want to miss if you want to hear the hits they've written during the span of their 35-year career.
Eagles, Toyota Center, Houston, July 27. Tickets on sale Monday at Livenation.com
John Mayer, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, The Woodlands, Sept. 5. Tickets on sale Saturday at Ticketmaster.com, $36-$75.
The Scorpions "Get Your Sting and Blackout" World Tour, AT&T Center, San Antonio, July 23. Tickets on sale Saturday at Ticketmaster.com, $36.75-$57.75.
Shakira, American Bank Center Arena, Corpus Christi, Oct. 5. Tickets on sale Friday at Ticketmaster.com, $16- $162.01

Is Foreclosure Ever A Good Option?
When it comes to real estate, the real "f" word is "foreclosure." No one likes to talk about it and certainly no one wants to undergo foreclosure proceedings, but foreclosures do happen from time to time. Of course, there are other options that can help you avoid the odious trial and error of a foreclosure. more »

Who we are:
VoxxiS is a guild formed between a few friends focusing on 10 man raid progression through both normal and heroic. The guild is lead by seasoned World of Warcraft veterans, Nareen and Tiiak. Both have been playing since early Vanilla and conquered almost all content throughout the ages, although only met each other after they had both taken a break during Cataclysm. Now back, and ready for more, both have united on Outland and brought a few others from outside World of Warcraft to share the experience.
What are are looking for:
We are now looking for more players to build the core raiding team who will become the backbone of our community. We will be focusing mainly on 10 man raids and 10 man heroic.
CHECK OUR WEBSITE TO SEE WHICH CLASSES WE ARE RECRUITING (voxxis.guildportal.com). If your class is "Low" or "None" please still apply as we will consider all exceptional candidates.
We are a casual/semi-hardcore guild looking for fast progression with like minded WoW players. We are also aiming to create a community that everyone enjoys raiding in. We have extensive raiding past experience and are looking to make the most of it in this expansion, all the while remaining very social. VoxxiS is aiming to make this game fun to play, not a chore to play, the goal is to make upcoming raids exciting, not draining.
Of course, the aspiration is to top the guild progression on this realm, without all of the hardcore five nights a week nonsense (we're university students, we need breaks too!). Perhaps you reading this can help us, and become a part of a great achievement.
Our raid times:
We will raid 3 days a week focusing on quality not quantity pushing for the max progression in a calm and friendly way.
Ingame Times:
20:00 till 00:00 Raid times are not finalised yet.
Our raid days arent set in stone yet we will evaluate that when we have gathered some more of the core raiders so as to accommodate the needs of our community best.
What can you do for us?
We are aiming to recruit players that have the same ideals as us. You can help VoxxiS fulfil its goals all the while being rewarded with unique gameplay that Blizzard designed for us. We want those who enjoy raiding, enjoy socialising and enjoy playing the game. Enthusiastic players who are ready to help fits our quota, those who are drama queens or just turn up for loot, are not.
What can we do for you?

Mom's Goulash Recipe…need I say more? Well, sure. Im not sure where my mom got this recipe from or if I even knew what Goulash was as a kid, but according to wikipedia; Goulash is "is a soup or stew of meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating from the medieval Kingdom of Hungary."
One thing I know for sure is that Hungary is the last thing you'll be after a bowl full of this with a side of corn bread.
- 1 lbs. Ground Beef
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 can of Van Camp's Pork & Beans, 15 Oz
- 1/2 cup of Kraft Barbecue Sauce (hot). You can use just about any BBQ sauce, but mom always used the Kraft Hot which has been discontinued. You could try Kraft's Slow-Simmered Thick & Spicy Barbecue Sauce
- Salt & Pepper to taste (not really necessary)
- Chop pepper and onion and combine with ground beef in large skillet.
- Cook on medium high heat until the ground beef is browned. Skim of excess fat.
- Add Pork 'n Beans, and barbecue sauce. Simmer at low heat for 20-30 minutes.
- If desired, you can make a pan of Cornbread while the last step is cooking.

No trip to St Petersburg would be complete without a trip to Peterhof – at least that's what it said in the guide book:
This most stunning of the tsarist palaces around St Petersburg was first built by Peter the Great; it is also known as Petrodvorets (Peter's Palace). Over the years his successors continued to build and expand – pretty much constantly – to create the astounding ensemble seen today. Comparisons to Versailles abound and it's easy to see why: the sheer scale of the main palace and its incredible garden were heavily influenced by Louis XIV's own summer residence. That said, the centrepiece at Peterhof, the Grand Cascade, is all Peter's own work.
The hydrofoil was fun, the gardens immense. They even had free wifi near the house!
Interesting fact:
After WWII, Peterhof was largely left in ruins. Hitler had intended to throw a party here when his plans to occupy the Astoria Hotel were thwarted. He drew up pompous invitations, which obviously incensed his Soviet foes. Stalin's response was to pre-empt any such celebration by bombing the estate himself in the winter of 1941–1942.
So it is ironic but true that most of the damage at Peterhof occurred at the hands of the Soviets. What is there today is largely a reconstruction; in fact, the main palace was completely gutted, as only a few of its walls were left standing.
How typically Russian.
Funny story:
Sandra and Geoff went the day before on their own because Jax and I wanted to wait for better weather for photographs.
In fact, when they got there, it was so windy and rainy that they rushed from the hydrofoil without looking around and headed straight to the nearest trees for shelter.
With no idea what to expect they wondered around the gardens enjoying the fountains and ornate buildings.
Imagine their surprise when after a couple of hours they turned a corner and were met by the stunning splendour of the main house and it's huge golden cascade, ornate centrepiece fountains and gold statues.
Everyone else gets off the ferry and is immediately struck by the splendour the house ahead of them along the ornate fountain and statue lined canal.
Sandra and Geoff must be the only visitors ever who ever missed it!

Letters: Neutral party sought; Reactions differ
Published 6:10 am, Thursday, August 2, 2012
May I recommend that someone other than the city manager and school board take over the school crossing guard program.
If the city council and school board can't figure out the solution for the safety of all our students, they should all by voted out of office! I can remember a time when the county, city, and school district all worked together for the safety of our students. It seems each entity wants to be the power broker.
Arthur G. McDonald, Beaumont
As the saying goes among thieves, "Never waste your time on petty theft, always go for the 'High Dollar' crimes and you will not be punished!" Let's see if the BISD Board agrees with ths Tom Foolery:
In Thursday's Enterprise we read that a BISD Maintenance employee was fired for stealing a mere $280,000 from the district. Thursday night the BISD Board voted to keep Calvin Walker as "electrician of choice" even after he pleaded guilty of overcharging BISD and forfeited $3.2 million for work he claimed his company rendered.
Now, let's look at this again: Steal $280,000 and you get fired, steal (by invoicing for work not done) $3,200,000 and you get to keep your job. See, the thieves are right. Steal millions and you keep your job with BISD.
Suggestion: would someone please go to the BISD Comptrollers Office and "politely" wake them up! I can't afford their Tom Foolery by them not doing their do dilligence in either of these two cases.

Wayne Rooney knows he would be waving away a fortune if he was to demand a transfer from Manchester United.
Two bids from Chelsea, and Jose Mourinho's mischievous promise of a third, have met with steadfast resistance from the champions.
The Daily Mail says a formal transfer request was on the cards at the start of this month. It was the talk of United's training ground for several days but never materialised because Rooney realised it would have been futile.
He would also have risked losing millions in bonuses like former team-mate Carlos Tevez, whose transfer request to Manchester City in 2010 ended up costing him £6million.

Architect Todd R. Harrington has designed the patent-pending Sinergy 1000 hybrid cupola that can produce power from both solar and wind sources. The attractive residential design incorporates a solar panel on the south side roof face and houses a vertical axis wind turbine inside the cupola. The hybrid cupola can be mounted alone or in a series along a roofline without upsetting the neighbors.
While the Sinergy 1000 hybrid cupola isn't yet available for purchase, the Sinergy Concepts Company is taking inquiries as it waits for the results of its working prototype entry into the 2011 GE Ecomagination Challenge. No matter how the Sinergy 1000 does in the challenge, quick-to-install prefab hybrid cupolas will make it easy to produce energy at home and look great while doing so.

text: Wildfires have ravaged large swathes of central and southern Chile in the past week, fueled by high winds and an unusually early, dry, and hot summer. A few dozen homes were torched and about 1.2 million acres of woods were destroyed. So far six Chilean firefighters have died and four others were injured while pinned against a mountainside in the Araucania region in the central part of the country. Chile's billionaire president Sebastian Pinera told the press in a statement on Thursday that there is strong evidence of criminal intent behind the enormous blaze. He also blames La Nina and global warming, but is talking about using governmental powers created to fight terrorism in an effort to prosecute alleged arsonists. An Israeli man, Rotem Singer, was accused of letting his roll of toilet paper set off a large fire in the Torres del Paine national park at the far southern end of the country. Al Jazeera reports that he was released from custody but cannot leave until the police finish their investigation. Here are some photos from the weekend of fire fighting. Most of the trouble areas have been brought under control since the weekend.

Sugar content: Despite having 3 kinds of sugar in the ingredients, it's only 5 g (about a teaspoon) of sugar in one bar.

It's important to optimize any UIView layoutSubviews method you create, as it can be frequently called, and has the potential for creating recursion (triggering a setNeedsLayout from layoutSubviews can create a loop that will grossly affect your apps performance). Layout subviews is called once per run loop on any view that has had setNeedsLayout or setNeedsDisplayWithRect: called on it. So in addition to any time you manually call these methods, it can be useful to know when the UI framework calls setNeedsLayout/setNeedsDisplay as this will trigger layoutSubviews.
For this purpose, I will define a few view relationships:
- View1 – UIView class, root view for examples
- View1.1 – UIScrollView class, subview of View1
- View1.1.1 – UIView class, subview of View1.1 (No autoresize mask)
- View1.1.2 – UIView class, another subview of View1.1 (Autoresize mask – flexible width)
I then ran the following tests. An X means the view was layed out
From this I surmise the following:
- init does not cause layoutSubviews to be called (duh)
- addSubview causes layoutSubviews to be called on the view being added, the view it's being added to (target view), and all the subviews of the target view
- setFrame intelligently calls layoutSubviews on the view having it's frame set only if the size parameter of the frame is different
- scrolling a UIScrollView causes layoutSubviews to be called on the scrollView, and it's superview
- rotating a device only calls layoutSubview on the parent view (the responding viewControllers primary view)
- removeFromSuperview – layoutSubviews is called on superview only (not show in table)
Hopefully this is helpful information for you as well.

crow 4 it was not that great at all
Just rented the 40 year old Virgin, Munich, Aeonflux, and When a Stranger Calls.
We've seen 40 yr old and Stranger and both were really good. I liked that When A Stranger Calls is a pyschological thriller and keeps you in suspense throughout the movie.
"Crash" - liked it a lot except for the part whereClick to see Spoiler:the young cop played by Ryan Phillippe killed the guy who was going to show him he had a statue just like him. I understand why the cop thought the guy might be pulling out a gun but he's the one who picked him up to begin with.
"Fun with Dick and Jane" - cute movie. The scenes the son were in were so funny because heClick to see Spoiler:would always speak spanish to them or with a spanish accent
"Derailed" - I just wanted to smack Clive Owen throughout the whole movie. What a big wuss.Click to see Spoiler:only in the end did he redeem himself, but just barely.
I still have one more to watch (The Constant Gardener) - thank goodness they are all 5-day rentals!
I just watch "Derailed" as well, and ALSO wanted to smack Clive Owen.
I also just saw "North Country", "Mrs. Henderson Presents", "The Family Stone" and something or other new that had Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner. That last one (with Aniston and Costner) I didn't like at all (and thought I would.) I really didn't care so much for "The Family Stone" either, except I liked Luke Wilson in it, then again, maybe I just thought he was cute.
North Country and Mrs. Henderson Presents were both very good. North Country is very bleak, but worth watching.
Oh, and I saw "Duma" recently, about a cheetah. Very good movie.

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in...
Aniston/Coster was probably Rumour Has It
"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
Rumor Has It creeped me out. Had they chosen just one plot option, it may have been good.Click to see Spoiler:But having Jennifer Anniston sleep with the guy she thought may be her father - even the attempted cover of that plot flaw wasn't strong enough to make it okay.
Family Stone I thought had fantastic characters. I think it would have made a fantastic TV show. But the plot just wasn't enough to make it a good movie.
I rented Shopgirl, because I had a free movie rental that was going to expire, and couldn't find anything else. I wasn't expecting much, and was very pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't say it's the kind of movie I'd watch over and over and over. But it was very good story telling. I was glad that I decided to give it a shot.
Rumor Has It was the name, thanks!
Part of the reason I didn't like The Family Stone (other than Luke Wilson) is that I really don't care for Diane Keaton in any capacity. I didn't like the story, or the characters. I found it quite dull.
I saw Shopgirl recently, too, and didn't care for it. I especially didn't like Steve Martin's voice-overs.
Obviously movies are subjective.

Breathe out, so I can breathe you in...
I just recently saw two wonderful, warm, and witty films that just so happen to both have transgendered characters at the heart of their story.
Transamerica - Now that I've seen both Reese Witherspoon's and Felicity Huffman's performances, I have to say that Felicity was robbed of the Oscar. Her performance was far more complex, and she carried the entire film, whereas Reese seemed more a supporting character in a film that was really Joaquin's. Transamerica was wonderful. Though it deals with some tough subject matter, it does it with a light touch that isn't so light that it trivializes the issues the characters are going through. Loved it.
Breakfast on Pluto - I am a big fan of director Neil Jordan, and was delighted by his latest offering. Cillian Murphy turns in a bravura performance as Patrick "Kitten" Braden. He deftly avoids an overtly campy portrayal of a small-town transvestite in 1970's Ireland, making Kitten's vulnerability and inherent sweetness come to the fore. Jordan is successful in making Kitten's beautiful fantasy world (in the midst of political and social unrest) come to life. Ultimately this film is about love and family--which does not always come from the people or places you expect. Stephen Rea and Liam Neeson each make memorable and moving appearances.
I highly recommend them both!

Protecting Bonobos
Protecting bonobos is BCI's primary mission. Bonobos are humankind's closest relatives, and they are on the brink of extinction. Collaborating with local and international partners, we are providing a safe haven for these amazing primates. We are hard at work expanding the Bonobo Peace Forest, a constellation of linked community-based reserves and conservation concessions. Within the Bonobo Peace Forest, we have many programs promoting the safety and well-being of bonobos:
- Monitoring Teams and Eco-guards—More than 200 trackers and eco-guards monitor the bonobos and patrol the forest daily.
- Bonobo Rescue—Orphaned and abandoned bonobos are a tragic side effect of the bushmeat trade. Learn more about how we help them to safety.

Texada Island Airplane Camping
Wayne and I like to camp by airplane. We travel frequently to Canada and have found Texada/Gillies Bay Airport (CYGB) to be an excellent place to stop for overnight or longer. After you clear immigration and customs (we like Boundary Bay or Nanaimo), Texada Island is only a short distance away, about 50 miles north of Vancouver. The island is about 32 miles long and 6 miles wide. The airport is 3000' of asphalt along a flat ridge in the northern portion of the island.
The airport manager, Ron, will greet you with his little white dog (watch out, he bites) and calico cat. He is a wealth of information about the area. Day parking is free, but there is a fee for overnight. The camping area is grassy with picnic tables and a fire ring. Public transportation is limited. There are several bikes you can take to Gillies Bay. Check with Ron, but beware, the hills are steep. There are trails to the village and beach, so walking/hiking is an option. If you call ahead, some of the restaurants and lodging facilities will provide pick-up services. Two you might try are Tree Frog Bistro in Gillies Bay and the Texada Island Inn in Van Anda.
We went to Texada this spring for a day trip and hiked the trail to the beach. You can either take the dirt road north of the runway or a trail just past the windsock. We used both to make the trip into a loop. Both are easy to walk. If you take the road, bear to the right at each junction and follow it downhill to the beach. There are several ways to reach the water. We like the one at the end of the road. Bring a picnic. It's likely you will have the whole beach to yourself. To take the trail back, retrace your steps and then take the first dirt road to the right and exit at the windsock. Years ago, this was a fir and hemlock forest, but it has since been logged. One caution, say on the trails. The forest floor is covered with bright green stinging nettles. On our spring walk we saw deer, robins, lots of Horsetail Fern and flowers just starting to bloom.
There are no aircraft services at Texada Airport, but you can get fuel and maintenance, if needed, at nearby Powell River. Fuel (100LL) is self-serve by Oceanview Helicopter and maintenance is available at Suncoast Aviation (604-485-7429). They take good care of our Piper Arrow 997 when we are staying at our cabin n Powell Lake. I hope you get to enjoy Texada Airport and the beauty the island has to offer. -- Margy

The Walled City Directed by roger HOM, Featuring music by dana LEONG
suckerPUNCH: describe your project.
roger HOM: I imagined a city awaiting demolition and the memories it might have.
In 1842, when Hong Kong became a British colony, The Kowloon Walled City, a military fort, was abandoned by the Chinese, but never officially handed over to the British, creating a political black hole. It was a haven to Triads and other illegal activities, since the colonial government technically could not administer what was still designated as Chinese territory.

text: I was given my first camera at the age of 8, a Kodak Instimatic as I recall. I soon learned that I could inspire my subjects to do interesting things simply by pointing my camera in their direction. One camera gave way to another in succession over the next forty-five years and my subject matter evolved into more adult images that found their way into books such as The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotica as well as my own WARRIOR PRINCESS The Erotic Fantasy Photography of Michael Alan Grapin; and magazines such as JADE.

I don't know about you guys, but after reminding myself to back the HEX Collectible Card Game, I've been kinda dying for a card game to get into. I've never played one before – no, I couldn't even fall in with the Magic: The Gathering nerds in high school – and I feel I'm overdue. With Star Trek on my mind, it makes sense that this new Star Trek: Rivals CCG would be a good, first stab for me. While it won't win me over in the mid- to long-term, it's a decent enough distraction, even when it sails into MOMCOT territory.
Rivals is easy to get into. Your playfield is a 3×3 grid and each of your cards has a number on each edge. Playing in a turn-based IGOUGO manner, each card you or your opponent places (by the way, this is exclusively online) can override a neighboring card, which can then override another card, etc., until you run into numbers that outmatch you. There'll be a lot of tumbling dominos here, so you'll need to implement some strategy to stay on top even in final moves as a single card can wipe out your entire stake in the game with a single cascade. Your best way to play – and I'm not sure why Rivals doesn't make this easier – is to start a bunch of games at once. Like Checkers, you can play a move and just wait for the next one to come in whenever, which you'll probably have to do, anyway. The game's well-produced and looks great, so there was no skimping on production values. All of the cards are filled in with Abrams-verse Trek characters, many of which are represented by publicity photos because you probably never saw them in the movies.
With your winnings, you'll buy new cards to build your deck. But, of course, you'll be reminded on a regular basis that you can whip out that good ol' credit card and buy a bunch of currency to get the cards you really want. Speaking of currency, this game has three kinds of them and I couldn't quite understand the delineation Credits and Gold-Pressed Latinum are virtually identical while Federation Points let you buy more card packs for random cards. You can use the other currencies to buy the cards on demand, of which there are a hundred-plus, and I found that worked better than hoping I get decent ones to fill in my strategy holes with.
Rivals is pleasant in that it's easy to play and the IAP stuff doesn't bother much, but it might be too easy to hold your attention (or mine) for long.

The recent outrageous spending spree by the New York Yankees, has livened up the decades old debate of whether or not there should be a salary cap in baseball. I haven't really weighed in on the hotly debated subject myself, but now would be as good a time as any.
For as long as I can remember, the Yankees have always been hated by millions of baseball fans and even a few dozen rival GM's as well, for their outrageous and uncontrolled spending, and causing average player salaries to spiral out of control. One of those GM's even referred to the Yankees as the "Evil Empire", a moniker that has stuck and has fit them well.
The Yankees have been trading dollars for championships even going back to the days of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. They were always ready to help cash-strapped teams by swapping fists full of dollars in exchange for their un-affordable or highest valued stars.
During the "bonus-baby" era, it was the Yankees who always got the best players because they were willing to outbid anyone for the best amateur talent.
Back in the seventies, when Players Union president Marvin Miller, ushered in free agency, it was the Yankees who jumped on that bandwagon, took the steering wheel, and drove it to baseball hell.
When baseball changed the rules for the amateur draft and began offering compensation to the teams who were losing their best players, the Yankees found a way to exploit that system as well.
Even in foreign countries like Cuba and Japan, they know that if they want to play in America and get rich, just say you want to play for the Yankees. Orlando Hernandez braved shark infested waters to play for the Yankees. No other team even had a chance for his services. You call that a free market?
Mariano Rivera who is probably most responsible for the most recent Yankees championships, never made it to the free market. He was scooped up by the Yankees thanks to the largest fully funded baseball scouting department in the game, with thousands of registered and unregistered scouts world wide. Everyone in Panama knows that if you spot any player with an ounce of talent, call the Yankees and collect a handsome finders fee for your services.
Even when teams did their the best to try and compete, like the Texas Rangers when they gave A-Rod that landmark $252 million dollar contract, found themselves buried alive. Eventually they had to trade A-Rod to the Yankees and were forced to consume a huge chunk of his salary in the process. During those years, the Rangers were paying A-Rod $10 million dollars a year to play for the Yankees. He was their highest paid player at the time.
When will this madness end?
The baseball players union and the Yankees say we live in a free market and that those same principles should prevail in Major League Baseball. I beg to differ.
Baseball is a monopoly in every sense of the word. The anti-trust exemption has allowed baseball to thrive under a legal umbrella of protection that guarantees them the right to operate under their own set of rules without fear of reprisal, litigation, or competition from another would-be league.
The players and some owners want it both ways. They yield their double-edged sword to beat down any argument that questions the status-quo.
If any other professional sports league, or private and public business entity, operated under the auspices of such a legal environment, they would be shut down or forced to conform at a significant cost, most likely resulting in bankruptcy, merger, or buyout.
So please, save the "free market" argument for those who are oblivious to the reality of the situation, and not for one who has more than a fleeting knowledge of the situation.
Baseball needs a salary cap because it is not a fee market. It operates under the same rules of a private country club or chartered organization. It decides who can be a member of the club and who can't. Membership is exclusive and a potential owner must pay tens of millions of dollars just to sit at the table and make a case for team ownership.
They say baseball is a business, but it's not because they operate unlike any other business in the United States of America.
They say baseball is a game, but it's not because the spirit of competition and fair play takes a back seat to greed and backroom deals in baseball.
Would you sit down to play a game of Monopoly if everyone started with $1,500 dollars each except for one other player who begins with $15,000?
Would you play a game of five card draw poker, if the player opposite you was able to draw six cards instead of three?
Now how about we add this little caveat… would you pay $5,000 each, to all the other players just so you could sit down and play either of those games, under those rules?
Of course you wouldn't, you're not an idiot are you?
When you prove the case that baseball is not a game, and nor is it a legal business (if they lost their anti-trust exemption), the answer to whether baseball needs a salary cap, not only becomes an emphatic yes, it makes you wonder why it has taken so long to even have a vote on the matter.
The answer to that question is still shockingly familiar… the richest voices are the loudest voices, and just as they can drown out the small market teams in competition, they can drown out the voices of reason in a logical debate as well.

The historic market town of Morzine originated in the 16th century and still retains its pleasant 'Savoyard' charm today. It is situated between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc in the picturesque Northern Alps. The first cable car was installed in 1934 and it was from here that Morzine began to establish itself as a skiing resort. However it was not until the 1960's, when the local Jean Vuarnet won the downhill gold medal in the winter Olympics, that its popularity as a tourist resort truly boomed. During the late Sixties it became the preferred haunt of French stars such as Brigitte Bardot and as such was nicknamed the 'St Tropez of snow'.
Nestled in the heart of the Portes de Soleil, (an area which links the 14 resorts of Morzine, Avoriaz, Abondance, la Chappelle d'Abondance, Châtel, Les Gets, Montriond, Morzine, Saint Jean d'Aulps in France and Champéry, Morgins, Val d'Illiez, Les Crosets, Champoussin and Torgon in Switzerland), Morzine is an integral part of the largest interlinked ski area in the world. 288 ski runs cover a breathtaking 650km and provide diverse terrains for all abilities. These include wooded tree sections, wide-open slopes, seven purpose built snow parks and infinite opportunities to venture off-piste. There is no need to worry about a lack of snowfall either, as 632 snow canons ensure the piste is always in prime condition.
If the thought of snow parks and off-piste sends shivers of fear down your spine then don't fear, Morzine-Avoriaz also caters superbly for learner skiers and snowboarders. There are three separate nursery areas which provide a gently inclined slope on which to learn the basics. As you progress there are an array of easily accessible and relaxed blue runs which will allow you to perfect your skills on wide-open slopes before you progress further afield. Private and group lessons are also available at affordable prices and short notice from a range of ski and snowboarding schools such as the Ecole de Ski Français, Mint Snowboarding School and the Ecole de Glisse.
Morzine possesses the unique charm of warmly welcoming everyone who graces the town – whether you are a family, a skier, a freestyle or free riding snowboarder, quad biker, cross country skier or snow shoer.
For the more confident and adventurous rider, Avoriaz provides more challenging runs and a large number of the aforementioned off-piste routes. Avoriaz was the brain child of Morzine locals in the 1960's, and was developed by their celebrity skier Vuarnet. It is nestled on the cliff top above Morzine town at 1800m and is accessible from Morzine via the Prodain lift or a selection of lifts and runs. The angular architecture was impeccably planned and executed as the timber residences are set on different levels to blend seamlessly into their natural surroundings. It was even awarded the major achievement of national treasures of the 20th century. It is a fully pedestrianised town during the winter season, allowing residents to ski directly from their doorstep.
The snow often lasts well into May, providing divine conditions to ski and sunbathe! Once the snow has disappeared the popularity of Morzine as a holiday destination does not dwindle, as the lush and verdant summer climate attracts mountain bikers, golfers and walkers amongst others. The idyllic panoramic views from the highest peak of Mont Blanc to the resplendent valleys around Lake Geneva once viewed will never be forgotten.
