season long loan. Why? To gain experience from the team which is the most renounced for it's defensive play? Why? Because of the continual errors of last season. Arsene spoke of the transfer:
"Senderos has gone to Milan today and is not available anymore. He will go to Milan. He will complete a medical today. The thinking [behind the move] is that at the moment he doesn't get the games here and that he can play somewhere and remain in a top level club. Without losing him we want him to play. It (whether the transfer will become permanent) is not decided yet.I'd agree to some extent, but I would have rather seen him stay and Silvestre not come in. Senderos does offer us something and it seems like that something is missing in the Kolo-William partnership. I really do hope Arsene looks at Johan Djourou as a serious alternative for either Gallas or Toure in the central defensive position. Kolo for defensive midfield anyone? Kolo along side Cesc in the middle of the park? Maybe that will happen now as Inler has rejected Arsene's offer. His agent saying today:
"We have decided that Inler remains in Udinese. Any player would want to play for Arsenal, of course, but for Inler this may be perhaps a little early. Maybe a season too early."My view is that Djourou alongside Toure would be ideal. But I've never been a fan of Gallas. With Diaby and Cesc in midfield. Although Eboue has played there recently, I can't see that his long term position is defensive midfield. So either Toure moves up, Djourou comes in or we're going to suffer in defence this season. We all know that I feel that Alonso is not the right person to partner Cesc… Does Arsene have another player up his sleeve? Hmm, only time will tell… Arsenal vs FC Twente preview tomorrow… Cesc may play, he's in the squad…]]>

Monarchs at Shelby Farms Park Parking Lot
After a plethora of dismal reports in 2014 about declining populations of Monarchs in the United States, I didn't have much hope of seeing any while visiting a Shelby Farms Park parking lot in Memphis on a hot August day. I was returning to home to Franklin after speaking at a Wolf River Conservancy (WRC) gathering at the Memphis Botanic Garden. Cathy Justis, director of education at WRC, suggested the visit to the butterfly garden beds in the parking lot – the result of a lot of work by Girl Scout Nathalie Prior and her mom, Minette Prior. Nathalie completed the garden for her Gold Star project in October of 2014 with Cathy's encouragement and a grant from WRC.
Heretofore, the parking lot beds consisted of mown Bermuda grass. Now, however, the parking lot beds had been transformed into butterfly islands with a mixture of switch grass 'North Wind' (Panicum virgatum), New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae), blazing star (Liatris sp.), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), and other native plants. A Pipevine Swallowtail nectared on blazing star and verbena (Glandularia canadensis) while bright yellow Cloudless Sulphurs flew in nearby fields of partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata).
Kristen Lamberson designed the beds and provided the plants from her native plant nursery, Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs, MS. "Fortunately, Nathalie did an outstanding job," says Cathy. "Before she worked on this, she had no idea that Monarchs were suffering from habitat loss."
The day of my visit, there were over 137 Monarch caterpillars, 13 inhabited Monarch chrysalises, and 3 spent chrysalis. In addition, there were 20 Gulf Fritillary caterpillars feeding on passion vine (Passiflora incarnata) and two Silver-spotted Skipper adults mating on some New England aster.
This illustrates what can happen by combining enthusiasm, knowledge, a good native plant nursery, and some elbow grease into butterfly habitat, even an unlikely one.
For more information, contact Cathy Justis at the Wolf River Conservancy at email@example.com. If you feel the need for a small project, Cathy needs recruits to help in maintenance and other parking lot beds are already in the works.
"Watering and grass intrusion will be the two main challenges going forward; permanent fencing will be going up soon…Visitors often bring their dogs out and let them run off leash, so fences are a necessity," says Cathy. "We did have a wet year here, fortunately, and that was undoubtedly crucial for getting the plants established. For now, I'm relying on a good thick layer of pine straw mulch and occasional water spraying by the Shelby Farms crew and volunteers willing to haul water from the wetland nearby."
Here's a map link to the location. You enter Shelby Farms Park at Gate 19 and follow the road back to the parking lot.
- This parking lot spot is near a large open field near a river; it might not be as effective in a city parking lot.
- Will the parking lot habitat concentrate predators in the next few years?

Campaigners working for the re-instatement of the Hull to York via Beverley railway burned a 10,000 signature petition when the East Riding Council met at county hall in Beverley today, Wednesday 8 January.
They said the action was designed to illustrate what they believed was the contempt in which the public were held by the leaders of the council.
In 2005, campaigners spoke to 10,000 members of the public who signed a petition supporting the idea that the line, closed by Beeching, should be re-opened.
A subsequent feasibility study, commissioned by the East Riding Council, concluded that re-opening was feasible and the Council agreed to protect the identified route from development.
The Council now intends to remove the route's protected status, a move which campaigners believe, will end all hopes of the line ever being re-opened.

Hannover, Germany
Filmriss was born in Hannover, Germany. Being exposed to electronic music since his early ages, and having experienced a good amount of Drum'n'Bass and Techno acts, Filmriss started to DJ soon after, feeling the need to give the art of DJing his very own interpretation. Little time having passed, he started playing at smaller gigs around Hannover, gaining experience and developing a better feel fo
r his style. Moving through different types of techno in his early years, he felt somewhat disconnected with the development and the direction the scene was moving and therefore decided to feel out the Drum'n'Bass scene, as he'd been a close follower ever since he was first exposed to it. His style is loud and dirty, with a great variety of current, as well as older tracks, with a mixing style that is fast paced and leaves no time to keep your feet still.
Check out his sets and judge for yourself.

How do you tackle the subject of space, a significant contributor to our technological progress in the 20th and 21st century? In my previous blogs on space I have described the development of rocketry, a technology that gave us the means to reach beyond the outer atmosphere and establish our first human-inhabited and artificial robotic systems in near-Earth proximity.
But in treating the subject of space in the 21st century we need to look beyond the race to space, the Moon, and the planets, comets and asteroids of the Solar System. We need to understand what's in it for us, why space and the technology we invent to explore it will be a driving force for innovation throughout the 21st century.
So how did we get started? It began with the Soviet Union and Sputnik-1, on October 4, 1957 and humanity has never looked back. Sputnik circled the Earth. We then launched many more satellites, some to spy on our neighbours, some to help us improve global communications, some to study the atmosphere, weather, our oceans, land use and more. What started as a two-nation duopoly in space has broadened to become a global adventure today. The United States and Russia have been joined by 48 other countries with satellites in orbit. Nine countries have launched satellites into near-Earth orbit. Six countries and Europe through the 18-member European Space Agency (ESA) have sent probes to explore Solar System neighbours. Business is getting into the act with the United States moving from a government-only contractor to a mixed economic model embracing for-profit companies working on sub-orbital and low-Earth orbit transportation systems.
In the articles that follow we look at the history of our outward urge, starting with the Moon and other nearby Solar System neighbours. We look at this from the perspective of technological accomplishments in achieving success beyond Earth orbit. In this immediate posting we focus on the Soviet Union's contribution to escaping the bonds of Earth. They were the first to do it and it is a remarkable story.
The Technology to Leave Earth Orbit – The Soviet Union Came First
The launch of Luna-1 by the Soviet Union represented the first human-made object to escape Earth's gravity.What did it take to send a satellite beyond Earth orbit? It meant developing a rocket capable of lifting a 361 kilogram (790 pound) object, Luna-1, into space traveling at a speed of 11.2 kilometers (7 miles) per second. That amounts to 40,234 kilometers (25,000 miles) per hour.
An augmented R-7 rocket, named Vostok, provided the launch capability. In an earlier blog we talked about the R-7 program, the most successful rocket launching system ever built. For the Soviets to turn it into an orbital escape booster they added a third-stage. This gave them capability to deliver 6-ton payloads into low-Earth orbit, and 1.5 ton payloads into trans-lunar trajectory. Luna-1 proved a remarkable achievement for technology in 1959, passing within 6,000 kilometers of the Moon before entering solar orbit. Its onboard instruments fed telemetry back to Earth providing measurements of our planet's magnetic field.
A second 1959 triumph was Luna-2. It was the first probe to target and hit a non-Earth object, the lunar surface. The Soviets recognized that reaching the Moon required longer duration power systems to keep instrumentation working. In Luna-3, launched a month after Luna-2, they incorporated solar cell technology to supplement the onboard batteries. When Luna-3 reached the Moon it circled it and returned to pass by Earth. During this elongated orbit of both Earth and Moon its onboard camera photographed 70% of the Moon's unseen side. The camera used standard 35 mm film. An onboard film laboratory developed the images which were then scanned by a television camera and transmitted using radio waves back to ground stations as the spacecraft approached Earth.
The Soviets Develop Robotic Systems for Planetary Exploration
Right from the start the Soviet Union made the Moon a target of its space program. When President Kennedy announced the Moon as the goal of the American space program in the 1960s he was abundantly aware of Soviet ambitions. The Soviets weren't hiding anything. They had built heavy lift capacity in their rocket systems far more than needed for ballistic missiles. But the Soviets needed much more than big rockets if they were to succeed. Their shopping list included:
- Multi-stage rockets capable of being started and stopped in mid-trajectory flight
- Satellite systems capable of adjusting flight paths and inserting themselves with pinpoint accuracy into orbit around another space object
- Remote separation of sub-assemblies from the main satellite
- Extended-range power supplies using solar, nuclear and improved battery systems
- Powered controlled descent and soft landing systems for robotic probes
- Mobile robots capable of navigating over uneven remote surfaces
- Instrumentation that worked beyond low-Earth orbit and on remote planetary surfaces
- Two-way communications systems working at never attempted distances
The Soviets mastered these skills but they came at great cost. In 1965 they made four failed attempts (Luna-5 through 8) to soft land Luna probes on the Moon. The technology included vernier rocket packs for controlled descent, nitrogen-bag inflation systems to cushion probes on impact, and instrumentation shielding to achieve ambient temperatures (19 and 30 degrees Celsius, 66 to 86 Fahrenheit)in a space vacuum. These technologies worked to perfection in January 1966 with Luna-9 making the first powered descent to the Moon's surface. Luna-9 incorporated a panoramic television camera onboard capable of 360 degree coverage.
Two months after Luna-9, the Soviets once again proved they had mastered another technological accomplishment, successfully placing a satellite into lunar orbit. Luna-10 achieved this feat using its course correction engines to slow the spacecraft sufficiently for lunar orbit insertion. The battery-operated instrumentation package included gamma radiation, electric and magnetic field, micro-meteoroid, and solar wind detectors. After 57 days and 460 orbits the batteries finally ran out and the Moon's first artificial satellite ceased transmissions.
In 1966 the Soviets followed with two more Luna orbiters, Luna-12 providing television transmissions of the lunar surface back to Earth and Luna-13, deploying a lander with a penetrometer to dig 45 centimeters (18 inches) into the Moon surface to study its soil properties.
Luna-16, launched in 1970, after the first two Apollo Moon landings, incorporated robotic systems for descent, sample collecting of lunar surface materials, ascent and then return to Earth. In 1970, Luna-17 delivered a robotic rover to the Moon's surface, Lunokhod-1.
In 1973, Luna-21 delivered a more sophisticated robotic rover to the Moon's surface, Lunokhod-2. This rover traveled 37 kilometers during its mission, transmitting more than 80,000 and conducting over 700 lunar soil tests.
The last Luna probe, Luna-24 landed on the Moon in 1976 where it proceeded to take a 2.5 meter lunar core sample and return it to Earth.
The Soviets in their lunar exploration activity created all the technologies needed for planetary exploration beyond the Moon.

Accidentally on Purpose Quotes: "The Love Guru"Eric Hochberger at . Comments
On last night's Accidentally on Purpose, poor pregnant Billie was trying to live vicariously through Davis' dating life. She ended up helping the guy score with a hot chick, but proved it was impossible to make Davis relationship eligible.
Meanwhile, Zack tried to go behind Billie's back and date a girl, Sasha, who ended up being full on crazy. Crazy pants decided to then stalk Billie and declare them best friends.
Good news is all this crazy led to some great Accidentally on Purpose quotes! Just check out some of our favorites from last night:
Abby: I have some amazing, unbelievable news that is going to blow you away.
Billie: Oh my God! Are you...?!
Abby: Yes! I'm Facebook friends with Olivia! | permalink
Davis: What's the next move with this girl?
Billie: Well, that depends. I mean, do we want to have a relationship with her or we're just looking to introduce our genitals to each other?
Davis: Ah, I've done the whole just-get-laid-casual-sex-never-see-each-other-again thing, so what I'm ready for now... is more of that | permalink
Davis: This chick is really out of my league. I mean, she's the kind that only sleeps with guys who have doors on their bathrooms... You know, fancy guys | permalink
Davis [about Billie]: I thought the two of you were cool with dating other people?
Zack: Yeah, but who's going to date her? She's got stuff popping out all over the place. You know, and I want to be a good guy about this, so I'm just going to do it behind her back.
Davis: You're a class act, Zack | permalink
Abby: Listen, I know that you think the only reason we're friends is because of Billie but that...
Olivia: That is not true! I don't think we're friends | permalink
Andrea: I'm just not interested in anything more than a physical relationship with you.
Davis: Why?! I mean, what is it about me? Is-- is it because I live in a dump? Or because I have no money... or any desire to make money? Because I have no goals or dreams... or desire to have any goals or dreams? | permalink
Zack: Uh, Sasha, look, how do I put this? Some foods just don't go together: pickles and melon, whip cream and eggplant or...
Sasha: Radishes and yogurt. Oh God! I've heard this exact speech so many times. You're breaking up with me | permalink
Eric Hochberger is the programmer of TV Fanatic, so please forgive his mediocre writing. His programming is far better. Follow him on Twitter and/or email him. Just don't request threaded comments. They're coming.

Cardiff's Gunter Impresses for Wales
Cardiff City's young defender Chris Gunter enjoyed a fantastic game for the Wales U21s yesterday as the young Welsh team battled hard but ultimately lost to France U21s.
Gunter was forced to operate in an unfamiliar role at centre-half for the encounter and repeatedly cleared his lines, reading the game well and intercepting French moves. Gunter helped the Welsh defense keep their French counterparts at bay but their resistance finally broke when a Neal Eardley own goal rebounded in shortly after half time.
It was a brave effort from the Welsh who were under constant pressure but acquitted themselves well, Chris Gunter especially prominant in defence.

Wednesday night – our first day in Colorado – Kevin's girlfriend Sam invited us over for dinner at home. So sweet of her, since she hadn't met us yet and apparently usually makes herself pasta (which Kevin told her I don't eat). So, after we went hiking in Boulder, we drove south to Denver where Sam lives.
But first a stop at the grocery and liquor stores (ice cream and beer) where I noticed the back of Kevin's car:
Sam is living in this house in Denver that she is helping fix up in exchange for rent/space. But her roommate/landlord/boss was out of town so we had the house to ourselves. It's in this cute old neighborhood in Denver ….
Just us and NINE animals : 3 chickens, Kevin's dog Muppet, Sam's dog 'Mo (Guillerrmo), 2 birds (parakeets?) and her roommates 2 dogs.
We like Sam. She's super cute and sweet and really interesting
Although I felt ENORMOUS the entire week we were hanging out ….. she's about HALF my size.
For our dinner at home Sam made:
- roasted chicken
- steamed asparagus
- roasted potatoes
- green salad
We tried to eat outside, but there were WAY too many flies (probably attracted there by the chicken coop).
Too bad, because it was gorgeous there.
After dinner – right around sunset – we walked a mile or so over to a local dog park with Muppet and Mo. Gorgeous night, those dogs are both so sweet.
Fun night in – it was really nice getting to meet Sam in such a low-key way.
Tomorrow: Andrew's first time at Rocky Mountain National Park

Hughes Signs For Saddlers
Alex target Mark Hughes has signed for League One Walsall today. The former Northampton defender was thought to be on Gudjon's wishlist but the lure of League One football was never going to compete with what we had to offer.
The 22 year old left Northampton earlier this summer and had recently been offered a deal by Accrington Stanley. The Alex had shown an interest earlier this week but Walsall remained in a stronger position.
Hughes played over 90 games in League One for the Cobblers before turning down the chance to remain at the club. Maybe as Gudjon keeps saying, are our sights set too high for new players?

Comsat Video Enterprises, owner of the NBA Nuggets, "likely will know by mid-May whether it will have a chance to acquire" the Nordiques and move them to Denver, according to Saturday's ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS. Last week, Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau appointed an attorney to review the team's finances and report back on the "feasibility" of financing a new facility for the team. Nords spokesperson Jean Martineau says team President Marcel Aubut "has written approval" to sell or move the team if the government will not help. Martineau: "The people who own this company won't go bankrupt just because hockey is a big thing here." The Nordiques have suggested the government raise funds to cover a new $125M arena and pay off the team's debt until the facility can be built through a new lottery or casino. Aubut met with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman last week to discuss the negotiations between the team and province. Bettman "reportedly told Aubut he would not assist the Nordiques' bid to secure financing unless he was asked to get involved." The team's lease at Quebec's Colisee expires July 15 (Curtis Eichelberger, ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, 4/15). ROCKY ROAD BACK TO DENVER: In Sunday's BOSTON GLOBE, Kevin Paul Dupont speculates that the Islanders may be the next team to be sold, and possibly move. Dupont also mentions a possible Devils move to Denver -- the city they abandoned for NJ in '82. Dupont writes, "Wouldn't the hockey landscape play better if the Isles bolted for, say, Phoenix and the Devils hit the road for Denver? It all would be so much easier if the Board of Governors stopped worrying about lost expansion fees and encouraged some of these weak sisters to do the right thing and move to better buildings in better markets" (BOSTON GLOBE, 4/16).
In the wake of the NFL's approval of the Rams' move to St. Louis, weekend reports centered on rumors the NFL is considering moving as many as three franchises to fill the now-open L.A. market. "Crazy or not ... there is talk of swapping franchises," writes S.A. Paolantonio in Philadelphia. One unnamed NFL source mentioned two possible scenarios: The Bengals to Baltimore; or the Bengals to Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium, with the Eagles moving to L.A. Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie called that report "absolute nonsense." Bengals President & GM Mike Brown: "I have not heard that, and I find that fairly strained." But Oilers Owner Bud Adams said there "has been some talk of it." Adams: "It's a helluva market out there. My lease is up in two years. I may want to take a look at L.A. myself." Another NFC owner said the Eagles "always come up in these discussions," but added that owners are "not stupid enough" to move the Eagles out of Philadelphia's No. 4 media market. The league wants an NFC team in L.A., and Lurie, a movie producer, "would seem a perfect fit." But Paolantonio writes that moving the Eagles "seems heretical even for the NFL's relentless pursuit of TV revenue" (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 4/15). Fox Sports Spokesperson Vince Wladika called the Eagles rumor "baseless and groundless": "Why would we want a team leaving the No. 4 market?" (Mike Bruton, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 4/18). The "message" the Bengals' Brown took from the Rams vote was that "if a team wants to move, the NFL isn't going to fight it. Even if the team wants to come to Baltimore," according to Vito Stellino in Baltimore. On the Eagles, Stellino speculates if Raiders Owner Al Davis gets a new stadium at Hollywood Park, "Lurie could share it in this scenario" (Baltimore SUN, 4/16). RAIDERS GO HOLLYWOOD: The L.A. DAILY NEWS reports that the league will grant at least two Super Bowls and a "undisclosed sum of money" within the next two weeks to help build a Hollywood Park facility that would be home to UCLA and the Raiders (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, 4/15). In discussions with NFL owners about building a stadium at Hollywood Park, Davis said $60M could be raised from the sale of PSL's. But Davis also would want three Super Bowls within a 10-year span, with 10,000 seats for each Super Bowl "set aside" for luxury and club seat buyers in addition to the 8,000 regularly reserved for the host team. Davis reportedly will not let an NFC team share the facility. The Raiders stadium situation "will remain in the air" until the May league meetings in Jacksonville (Will McDonough, BOSTON GLOBE, 4/16). An L.A. TIMES editorial states "it's hard to argue with the logic" of the proposed Hollywood Park deal, citing the private financing and the boost to the economy from future Super Bowls (L.A. TIMES, 4/16). IS FOX A WINNER OR LOSER? Despite losing L.A., Fox will "escape with little or no ratings damage over the remaining three years of its contract," according to Jim Thomas in St. Louis. Thomas writes the rebate was a "phantom issue" since there was no provision in Fox's contract stating they had to have a team in L.A. (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 4/16). But in New York, Steve Zipay sees Fox as a big "loser," as is KTTV, Fox's L.A. affiliate. Zipay's Winners: NBC, which televises AFC games and has the rights to the Raiders; and Logo Athletic, which has exclusive rights to St. Louis Rams apparel (NEWSDAY, 4/14). Possible "restitution" for Fox will "likely come in subsequent seasons, and potentially, on a non-cash basis" (Thomas Tyrer, ELECTRONIC MEDIA, 4/17 issue). Fox Sports' Wladika wouldn't respond to reports the NFL "promised" Fox a $12M rebate. He did say talks between the network and league were "ongoing" (Mike Bruton, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 4/18).
The "behind-the-scenes jockeying" over John Labatt Ltd. intensified Monday as a major Canadian broadcaster, CanWest Global Communications Corp., confirmed it has been approached by investment bankers about acquiring some Labatt assets if the company is sold. Meanwhile, sources disclosed that South American brewer Quilmes Industrial, SA is still considering teaming up with leveraged buyout firm Onex Corp. for a multi- billion dollar run at Labatt. CanWest has already started preliminary talks with Labatt about its intention to spin off some of its broadcast and sports assets (Marina Strauss, Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 4/18). Labatt's assets include the Blue Jays, SkyDome and TSN. Speculation is that if Onex is successful in acquiring Labatt, it will sell off all of its assets with the exception of the brewery (FINANCIAL POST, 4/15).
As the May 1 deadline approaches for Manitoba Entertainment Complex to purchase Barry Shenkarow's shares of the NHL Jets and for the Winnipeg City Council to approve a new arena site approaches, the Twin Cities are preparing for a possible return of the NHL. In Sunday's Minneapolis STAR-TRIBUNE, Jay Weiner examines the struggle to keep the Jets in Manitoba, and the possibility of moving the team South. MEC Chair John Loewen says the chances of a deal being worked out are "65-35," in favor of Winnipeg. In a sidebar, Weiner breaks down the issue. If the Jets are sold to a Canadian buyer rather than American interests, "they could lose out" on $21M because of the devalued Canadian currency and higher demand for the team in the U.S. The value of the franchise was set at C$50M in '92, which is the basis of what Shenkarow will receive for his 64%, should he sell to MEC. In Minneapolis, it is estimated a deal for the Jets could bring a total of US$70M (Minneapolis STAR-TRIBUNE, 4/16). NHL General Counsel Jeff Pash, who was in Winnipeg to meet with the interested parties last week: "We want to keep the Canadian teams in Canada." Pash says U.S. interest in teams "can be addressed through expansion at the appropriate time" (Tim Campbell, WINNIPEG FREE PRESS, 4/15). JET WASH: In Toronto, Greg Reekie writes the chances of a Jets move to MN "are in the 80% range. ... The accepted wisdom had been that the league wanted to keep franchises where they are in order to leave all potential expansion sites open." But since no group in MN seems willing to pay the likely $75M expansion fee, it makes sense to move the Jets. Meanwhile, Atlanta and Denver would remain open for $75M expansion franchises, "both of which are very likely" (TORONTO SUN, 4/16)....MN officials want the $20M or more reaped from the sale of the land that held the old Met Center to be applied to the purchase of a new hockey team (Sid Hartman, Minneapolis STAR-TRIBUNE, 4/15)....Former NBA Nuggets President Tim Lieweke, who was heading Denver's Pepsi Center project for Comsat before he resigned last month, is reportedly interested in being involved in a MN ownership group (Minneapolis STAR-TRIBUNE, 4/15)....Fans in Winnipeg have created a drive to save the Jets that features a page on the internet.

My Evaluation
Now comes the rub, now that I got you to look. Now, whatever you do you must do on you own for nobody can help you or advise you: you can pat yourself on your back, you can have the mirror polished and mounted on a marble altar, or just have a bust made of yourself and present it to the city fathers; or you can smash the mirror, or rent out your hair or get a whip and begin self-flagellation - or continue as if you never looked.
As for myself, I just feel sadness for I see people like myself, that could be family or friends, or aquainances, and or some that have lost my respect; I even see my fathers, and grandfathers and their father's fathers and I see my children and their children and their children's children; some a little like me, some a lot like me, walking around in a belief of purpose and determination or just staggering aimlessly or idly sitting tired of it all, some with rings in their noses, some with yokes around their shoulders and some with sticks or whips or guns, sometimes in uniforms, sometimes not, driving others - and I ask myself, "Is it really like this? Should it be like this?"
And I conclude that it should not be like this, that it should be a better world and that we as a race, that we as a species, have the ability to change if only we can find the will.
Looking into the mirror
The first stage in setting a goal is to establish the starting point. This may prove to be more difficult than expected for it requires a realistic evaluation of who we are and where we are.
Hence I must ask, "How well do you take personal criticism?" Can you in fact accept another person opinion, or worse still: Are you capable of judging yourself rationally?
Let's assume you can.
Let's then assume even before we look into the mirror that we are capable of looking without judgment as we would a lover seen the first time without mascara or make-up and seeing and then accepting these flaws and imperfection that we would not in others.
Okay then, let's get started. Let's be brave and look.
So, how did you do? Did you have a good look into the mirror? Did you see the human race? Did you see our humanity? Did you see yourself? Did you see yourself in the midst of the crowd either standing there faceless, or perhaps carrying a sign or shouting, or perhaps even standing on the shoulders of others?
Why Change
So, "What is it that we must change?" you ask. Certainly we have made tremendous advances in the sciences: in the medicine and engineering, in communication and transportation and most particularly in the art of warfare.
Yet unfortunately our humanity has not noticeably evolved. Some may even argue to we are constantly continuing to sacrifice it little by little to fulfill our passions and greed.
Perhaps once we were quite benevolent; but since we have become hunter-gathers we have relied upon and improved upon our hunting and pillaging skills and improved on the art of warfare and taking advantage of each other. And though we have, at least some of us, become farmers and even city dwellers we have not lost our hunter-gatherer psyche.
We are still hunter-gathers. We are still predators. We are still thieves.
So, "What is that we must change?" you ask. We must find our humanity.
The Human Race
I chose the title "Join the human race" because I liked the pun. Primarily I liked the implication that to be human, to be a member of the human race, one has to participate.
Firstly, one has to participate because a change is required and that change must effectively be a change in the mindset of the majority of the people. It has to be a change in the direction. A change which requires a rethinking and a redoing.
Secondly, it is a race, a race to avoid extinction. It seems that we have allowed ourselves to become a force of destruction; and for our survival we need to redefine our role to permit ourselves to become custodians of this planet. To care for it and ensure its survival, to take care of it and to ensure our survival by ensuring it can sustain life as we know it, to ensure its survival by ensuring it can sustain us.
My Dream
Well, here we are. I have a dream. Certainly it is fair to have a dream. How would we as a species have evolved did we not dream? Yet to dream for oneself, for ones children, for ones friends, for ones country or indeed for the whole human race – these dreams require a different plan. They each require a different plan as they each require the involvement and the participation of a different number of people.
My dream involves the whole human race. It requires the involvement and participation of a large percentage of the population. How does one do this? Where does one start?

What is the Best Fruit for Smoothies?
Fruit smoothie drinks are fun to make and fun to drink. Both kids and adults alike love to have them. There is just something about fruits and smoothies that make it a perfect, delicious combination that is guilt-less as well.
But is there one best fruit for smoothie-making?
Actually, there is no such thing. All fruits, regardless of sweetness, sourness, color, price or country of origin, can be made into a smoothie drink. It all boils down to the benefits garnered from the fruit.
Oranges are a popular fruit, both for juices and smoothies. It's nutritious as it is delicious. Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C (which is also said to heal wounds much faster; hence an "orange diet" after a major surgery). Aside from that, oranges also have betacarotene (a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from being damaged), folic acid (helps in brain development), magnesium (maintains a normal blood pressure), potassium (maintains your body's electrolyte imbalance), vitamin B6, thiamine, and calcium.
Strawberries are another top favorite. Armed with vitamin C, it also has antioxidants, vitamin K (which is necessary for the proteins that help blood clotting), manganese, folic acid, riboflavin (or also known as vitamin B2, which is important for body growth and red blood cell production; also helps in releasing and converting energy from carbohydrates), potassium, B vitamins (such as vitamins B5 and B6), copper, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids.
Bananas can be made into smoothies and taken as is, or can be combined with other fruits. It provides additional texture and thickness to the drink, and also gives a natural sweetness so that you really don't need to add some more sugar to your mix, especially if you just used an almost-overripe banana. As for its benefits, it has carbohydrates, vitamin A, iron, phosphorus and potassium (keeps your electrolytes in balance and helps the body's circulatory system deliver fresh oxygen to the brain). Also, bananas contain tryptophan, a substance that makes a person happier than normal.
Sometimes, the beauty and delish-ness of a smoothie lies in its sheer simplicity. There are a lot of fruits out there, but with these three simple and common fruits, you just know that you can never go wrong. To explore the variety of smoothie recipes that makes use of these fruits and more, grab a recipe book, like "Sensational Smoothies: Drink Your Way To Health Deliciously" and start mixing!

Google's New Nexus 7: The Budget Tablet to Beat
Small but mighty, with an impressively sharp screen—but its battery life disappoints
Does size still matter? Just a year ago, Google introduced its Nexus 7, a mini tablet for $199 that posed a real challenge to Apple's bigger, pricier iPad. Three months later, Apple retaliated with its own small tablet, the iPad Mini, though its $329 price wasn't, well, mini enough for some.
Now, a year after the introduction of the first Nexus...

Little Steven's latest Underground Garage tour just pulled through town and your humble (pie) rock 'n' roll servant was treated to a band he thought he'd never ever get to see: The New York Dolls! Yes indeedy-do, my wish came true. There before me on the stage of El Corazon in Seattle were David Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain, and the rest of the guys who are now the Dolls. I can now die content that I have witnessed "Personality Crisis," "Trash" and "Jet Boy" performed in front of my googly eyeballs by the actual girls who originally gave them life!
By now you're probably wondering…. what does this have to do with Ampeg? Well, bassist Sami Yaffa (unfortunately not pictured above) stood in front of not one but two SVT stacks that night and for the entire tour. He had SVT-CL heads and SVT-810E cabs behind him, no doubt the way original bassist Arthur Kane would've wanted 'em. And the Dolls weren't the only ones using Ampeg that night, since we were the backline bass rig for all of the bands onstage on that tour, including Supersuckers, the Chesterfield Kings and the Charms. Suffice to say the low end was absolutely marvelous all night, all tour long.

Dear Colleagues,
I often hear "why doesn't the Research Foundation give more of our indirects back to us" and the answer is they are trying but through a competitive process called the SUNY Networks of Excellence (NoE). NoE grants, which can be significant in size, are given for cross-SUNY collaborative projects and meetings with the idea that this will foster large collaborative grant proposals and funding; they are essentially seed dollars for collaborative pilot grants. There are currently 6 NoEs:
As I have mentioned NoEs on campus I am usually met with a blank stare so I do not think there is broad knowledge of this funding mechanism on our campus and this is why I am reaching out to you with the following information which includes a FAQ sheet on the NoEs and a link to a FlipBook on the NoEs that will be updated.
And for more information please follow this link to the SUNY RF NoE page .
I strongly encourage interested faculty to begin now in identifying possible collaborators within the SUNY system as the networks will soon be arranging meetings to establish collaborative research projects and releasing grant proposal deadlines.

Ken is perfectly right here. I am just a casual i18n enthusiast and I often
keep at the surface of problems; I have been surprised more than once by the
complications that arise when someone else in the list goes more in depth
with some issues.
I chose one of past Mark's mails, that made interesting scenarios of
practical usage of ligations, and I will try to comment on that.

It depends. When the control of ligatures is just a matter of taste, like
selecting the font face or the text color, then yes: there is no need for it
in plain text, and the matter is better addressed by higher-level protocols
on typography-quality systems. Who writes an e-mail in Courier won't
certainly need it.
But there are cases when having or not a ligature affects the meaning of the
text. These are certainly rare and marginal cases (in fact, this is being
discussed after Unicode's 10th birthday) but they exist and, because the
*meaning* of the text is affected, not only its presentation, the issue
should be addressed at the plain text level.
The contexts where these graphic variations become significant are mainly
historical and meta-linguistic, but they are nevertheless important for
Do you remember Carlos Levoyer, the guy who was dealing with ancient Spanish
texts? I suggested him to drop all the ligatures in his old books, and
expand them to regular modern spelling in his on-line edition. But if he
does not want to do so, he may need a way to specify ligatures like "ct"
(plus some special letters, like the long "s"). And, perhaps, he has to do
this in HTML, or in a database field: that is, in plain text, sort of.
A non-historical example for the need to control ligatures in plain text has
already been done: the "fi" ligature in Turkish. In most roman fonts, the
dot over "i" disappears in the "fi" ligature, because it merges with the
"f"'s top. This aesthetic adjustment is perfectly innocent in most
languages, because the dot on "i" has no special meaning (it is just an
heritage from hand writing). In Turkish, however, dotless "i" is a separate
letter so, in certain fonts, the ligature looses the distinction between
"fi" and "fI".
Also in this case, the average Turkish user won't need to control anything.
The fonts installed on a Turkish systems won't have "fi" ligatures; or their
glyph will be adjusted to clearly show the dot; or they will be disabled at
the system level, etc.
The problem is when plain text from a Turkish system is exchanged with an
arbitrary recipient; e.g. when a web page is published, or an email is sent
abroad, or (this is the case in my job) a database contains messages in
different languages to allow a multi-lingual GUI interface. In this case, it
would turn useful to be able to insert (manually or automatically) ZWNL
controls to split all "fi"'s.
Of course, this could be addressed with language tagging... It could,
provided that a long chain of ifs (the big one of which is "if this belongs
in 'plain text'") proves true.
I would add a 3rd case. Do you remember Adam Stanislav and his Slovak "CH"
letter? Well, in that case he was probably wrong, and probably there is no
need for such a ligature. Moreover, this hypothetical "CH" would not be any
different, visually, from a "C" + an "H" (especially in upper case). But
imagine that Adam was right, at least partially, and that in Slovak text
there is an actual need to distinguish a genuine Slovak "ch" from the "c"
and "h" sequence in "champagne". Wouldn't ZWL be a very handy way to encode
the *semantic* difference, regardless of the visual presentation?

>is a reasonable chance they will get what they are asking for. If,
>however, they besiege character encoding committees asking for ligatures

I would like to stress one point. If I am not totally wrong, Unicode should
be a standard to encode *plain text*.
AAT, OpenType, or any other font technology should not be considered as
*prerequisites* for displaying Unicode.
Or is any particular font technology now *required* by the Unicode standard?
Or is it now "non conformant" to use bitmapped fonts?
If yes, I really have missed the news. I have to retire for a while and
think carefully. Especially, I will have to find out how I am supposed to
use OpenType inside a database field, or on a 16-dots x 40-column receipt
If not, then these technologies, for clever they may be, cannot be proposed
to solve *encoding* problems, as is being done repeatedly in this
discussion, but only as *one* of the possible scenarios.
I would also like to stress some differences between Michael's proposal and
how I am seeing it:
1) I would not propose that ZWL, in the normal case, is a prerequisite to
the appearance of a ligature. If a fonts maps a glyph to "x<ZWL>y" and not
to "xy" it is because, in that particular font, the "xy" ligature is
considered rare and optional (and, hence, to be manually selected). This
would be the case for an Irish font, designed to be normally used to compose
modern text but that, occasionally, may be used to reproduce old typography.
The most common case would be that ligature happen automatically whenever
the "xy" sequence occurs in the text.
2) Because of (1) above, I advocate the existence of a ZWNL to allow the
user to forbid a ligature that would normally happen.
3) I like the idea that ZWL and ZWNL be unified with ZWJ and ZWNJ,
respectively. This makes the "new" controls readily available *today* and
avoids the "black box" problem (see further). The cost of this (limited, in
my mind) is that Unicode has to re-assign a very small priority to the
irrelevant "European cursive fonts" issue. There is a second toll to pay:
the ZW*L function cannot be used in scripts, like Devanagari or Arabic,
where ZWJ and ZWNJ already have a well-defined meaning. But my feeling is
that the ligating behavior of these scripts is already well defined, or (for
Indic scripts other than Devanagari) will be defined soon with no need for
the new "ligator" concept.
One last thing before taking on with Mark's scenarios.
Someone compared adding ZW*L to adding italic or bold in plain text. Well,
stop laughing: the idea that these basic text attributes (or, alternatively,
abstract emphasis indicators ŕ la HTML <em> ... </em>) belong in plain text
is to be considered carefully. In fact, italics often carry a meaning.
Someone already noticed that a word like "chat", in English, could be
understood and pronounced in very different ways depending whether it is in
italics or not. Moreover, when we quote someone else's text, we feel
perfectly free to change the font face or size, the color, the alignment.
But italics are normally retained, being considered part of the quotation!
And when an author deliberately changes this attributes, (s)he normally
takes care to warn the reader: "the italics are mine".
It is not unlikely that 3rd millennium "plain text" concept could be
enhanced to contain such information. By the way, it would not be more
complicated to implement than supporting some existing BIDI controls. So, as
a minimum, I would not consider this as a valid argument against ZWL.

False. This is a big planet, why couldn't someone come up with a "ct"
ligature in a completely different technology?
(BTW: My old English teachers would have said "scenarioes", but she was a
2nd language teacher too. In Italian it would be "scenari" or, even better,
"scenarî"; "scenarii" is very obsolete and is not to be seen in 20th century

And, of course, the non-ligated rendering will be used in any case if the
font has no glyph for that ligature.

A2a: The black box problem is not specific to this discussion. Any newly
added character would display as a black box on older systems: this is very
bad, but the problem disappears as products get updated. Moreover, if ZWL is
unified with ZWJ, A2a falls in the less severe A2b.
There also is another possibility:
A2d. A particular font (or, well rendering system) knows that, in
ON, it already uses all the available ligatures. ZWL is useless for such a
font, so it is removed during glyphization; "c<ZWL>t" becomes "ct", and the
usual ligature is used.

> ON&OFF: The user sees "ct"
B2a: Same as A2a above.
B2b: Although inadvertently (or "transparently"), the system adopts the
correct behavior.

> EOFF: ON&OFF: The user sees "ct"
This system uses an higher-level alternative protocol, so it is a little bit
out of scope. To fully integrate the new ZWL/ZWNL in such a system, 3 steps
should be taken:
1) Forbid the use of ZWL and ZWNL while editing. They are not needed here,
and their only effect would be to mess up the existing higher-level
3) Convert EON/EOFF sequences to equivalent ZWL/ZWNL separators when the
rich text is exported to plain text (provided that such a function exists).
3) Convert ZWL/ZWNL separators to equivalent EON/EOFF sequences when plain
text is imported in the rich text (provided that such a function exists).

See above for interchanging to/from plain text. The interchange between
different rich text system is quite out of topic. However, ZWL/ZWNL could
also the basis for the interchange to/from rich text systems that don't have
their own mechanism to do this, with the same limitations and problems as in
plain text.

Stand Up Guys Trailer: Maybe Pacino Has One Bullet Left In the Chamber?
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | September 14, 2012 | Comments ()
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | September 14, 2012 |
Stand Up Guys looks like a very easy movie to dismiss: Space Cowboys meets Bucket List meets "The Sopranos," or something. It stars Al Pacino as a guy who just got out of prison and gets the old gang back together for one last hurrah before his best friend, Christopher Walken, has to take him out, per orders from the mob. Pacino knows it, Walken doesn't want to do it, and suddenly, there's a film with the pallor of death and a sense of urgency hanging over it.
If Walken shoots him in the end, I give the film -- directed by Fisher Stevens -- a shot. If they hatch a plan to take out the mob boss, well, maybe not so much. I'm sure it will veer toward the feel good, rather than the heavy, but after so many bad Pacino and Walken movies, is it preposterous of me to hope that there's one decent one left in them? They're getting on up there; I'd hate for Pacino's legacy to be 88 Minutes, and Walken's to be Country Bears. They're such phenomenal actors, and I hate the fact that younger generations may never know that.

11pm-11:59pm (14 calls)Posted: February 10th, 2010 | Tags: poison center calls, poisoning, toxic exposure | 1 Comment »
- A 38 year old woman got out of the shower and did not have her glasses on. She reached for her aerosol spray deodorant but instead used Scrubbing Bubbles.
- A 23 year old female was brought to the ER after confessing to her mother that she had ingested several handfuls of over the counter sleeping pills and alcohol.
- A 32 year old man called because he reached into the medicine cabinet to take his allergy pill and inadvertently grabbed a bottle of old pain medication. He knows this medicine makes him very groggy and he works nights at a factory. He is about to leave for work and wonders what he can do to counteract the effects.
- A 35 year old man spilled a gallon of paint thinner in his lap. He is experiencing extreme pain and some skin peeling in his groin area.
- A caller stated that his downstairs neighbors had their wood floors stained today and the smell has been giving him a headache and is preventing him from sleeping.
- An adult woman called because she had a glass of milk and when she got to the bottom, she noticed several granules of dishwasher detergent in the glass.
- An ER physician called for treatment advice regarding a 14 year old that ingested an unknown amount of over-the-counter analgesic. She is refusing to tell him exactly what she took.
- An adult female caller wanted to know the symptoms of heroin withdrawal and if they are life threatening.
- A 34 year old man took some pills from his roommate, thinking they were Valium®. Turns out they were diabetes medication; the patient is now comatose and having seizures because his blood sugar is so low.
- A mother called after the dog got into her 6 year old's bedroom; the dog had a gel anti-flea product applied on his head and it had gotten all over her child and the child's bed.
- A 12 year old went to take some Tylenol® for a headache and accidentally took the Tylenol PM®. Mom called to make sure the 'PM part' would not adversely affect her 12 year old who is small for her age.
- A mother called because both she and her husband gave their infant daughter a dose of children's ibuprofen suspension within an hour of each other.
- An ER nurse called about a 56 year old patient who ingested an unknown amount of Flexeril®.
- A 36 year old woman called to ask if over the counter cough syrup could be causing her blurry vision.
***IPC specialists also made 5 calls to homes and hospitals to follow up on the clinical course of patients we had been consulted on.

Employee Testimonials
After working as a Physical Therapist in the Philippines and
Dubai for 5 years, InterFysio made my dream to work in
America come true. InterFysio helped me get my visa to
enter the US, guided me on the step-by-step process on
how to become a PT in New York, and assigned me to very
good facilities which were appropriate for my skills, interest,
and work experience. The staff of InterFysio are very
efficient and approachable. I have been with the company
since 2007 and I am looking forward to more years of
working with InterFysio. — Ava L.
Physical Therapist, Philippine
I wasn't sure where to turn when my immigration situation
was changing. I felt overwhelmed, and considered
returning home, but the I found Interfysio. They
reassured me that they would take care of all my
Immigration needs, and set me up with stable
employment. Well, I've been with Interfysio for almost 3
years, and they lived up to what they promised. Every
member of the team is professional, fun, and provide
support to ensure my experience is what I need it to be. — Jeff T.
Physical Therapist, Canada
The small size and specialized focus on employing
therapists from overseas means I get way more individual
attention and assistance than I would at larger companies
where you are "just another therapist". Someone is always
around to answer questions, and I find them very flexible
and accommodating. They deal with all the paperwork, visa
issues, licensing, etc., so that we can focus on our jobs and
clients! They work hard to place us where we enjoy our
work and are happy. I appreciate all the help they have
given me since I have been here in the USA. — Natalie H.
Occupational Therapist, Australia
They manage your whole case from beginning to end.
Their directors are very nice, good gentlemen who are
very accessible and helpful, and I have gotten very close
with both of them and the other staff in the office. They
are a great company and have helped me tremendously. — Leo T.

Cosy cafe/tapas bar Feb 26, 2014
My friend and I had lunch here today and was pleasantly surprised by the warm, cosy atmosphere and friendly hospitality. We were brought menus as soon as we sat down, food /drink orders were taken quickly.
You can order lunch here for under 10 euro. I had Angels Falafel which came in a wrap with hummus, salad, cheese and tomato salsa. I had mine without the cheese. It was absolutely delicious. The hummas, falafel and salsa was all made fresh.
My friend had buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and bacon which look beautiful also. Both meals came out together and in very quick timing.
The cafe walls are lined with bookshelves all fully stocked with old books for sale and beautiful old antiques. It looked like a great place to go back for tapas and a few wines.
The only thing I could fault was that the staff didn't come back to check to see whether everything was ok or whether we wanted anymore drinks.
Overall excellent little establishment.

Where the first 5 terms of the sequence are: 0,1,6,27,108
I have an example of what the lecturer did...and tried to do th same for this homework question but got it wrong...
Please help..
No they all have Xn in them..
Ok...em I don't know how to do all the symbols and stuff on this so hopefully it'll be ok to read..
I'm gona use % instead of lambda
I let Xn+2-6Xn+1+9Xn=0
Let Un=%n
Roots at %+/- =3
So a(%)^n-b(%)+c=0
Then, just following his example I said general solution is of the form
Un=%+n, Un=z%+n (those +n's are subscript, and z is alpha in the notes)
From that i said Un=z%+n + j%-n (where z,j are alpha and beta)
And that's all not right...
First of all, look at the Latex tutorial in the Latex subforum to learn Latex. You can also double click on any formula to see how it is written in Latex.
Characteristic equation is:
You actually have a double root .
How does the solution look like when you have a double root?

Lovin' life! :-)
Friday, April 05, 2013
I am definitely in a good place right now. A very good place. :-) As many of you know, my biggest obstacle in my life recently has been my DH's periodic drug use. Since the last big blowout, we have been writing (separately) into a shared journal. This was his idea and he has stuck with it for 30 days now. I am so proud of him. I know there has been some trying times for him, but he has came out on top. I'm not naive enough to think that a "relapse" can't or won't happen. I've been around the block a time or two to know this is a definite possibility. However, right now my heart is bursting with pride for him. And we will deal with whatever comes when necessary.
I have continued the Love Dare Challenge also. It has taken me more than the 40 Days because sometimes it just wasn't in the cards to do a particular "dare" that day. Maybe a situation didn't present itself that day or whatever. But, I'm still plugging away at it. I have learned sooooooo much about love, patience and sacrifice. It truly is a difficult thing to love someone unconditionally. What a tough concept.
We have continued to be involved in our church and attend Mass every Sunday. Be has been very accepting of this too. He even went to the Easter Vigil last Saturday night and wants to make that a tradition. :-) I pray for him (and ME) everyday. I pray that his heart is opened up to God and he allows Him to lead him. I pray that God shows me how to truly love Be through all of our obstacles.
Funny. I never thought of myself as "religious" but I sure am learning a lot from the Big Guy! :-) It's awesome and makes me happy!
We are so blessed to have 2 amazing children! They definitely try our patience some days, but wouldn't' trade them for the world! :-) We make such an awesome little family! We spend a lot of time doing things with them and *for* them. *sigh* Sometimes it's exhausting, but it's memories that we're making and those are priceless! I am so thankful that Be adopted my son. I am forever grateful. Be changed that little boy's life that's for sure. As he's 15 now, he's not so little, but I know how much he loves Be and it is heartwarming to watch them together. It's the only Dad my son has known. Admittedly, sometimes we both forget that Be wasn't his biological father.
Be's family is few and far between. Both of his parents are deceased and as a result there has been turmoil between the siblings. We do not speak to his sister at all. She is an extremely negative force that we do not welcome into our lives. His brother lives just a couple of blocks from us. As we do see and talk to him from time to time, he has his own battle with addiction to deal with. It's sad really to think about how his family has fallen apart. But, this just means Be needs me and our kids even more. We are his rock. I will always be by his side, no matter what. I love him too much to give up on him.
As far as my weight loss..... I have currently lost just over 80lbs in about a year and a half. I am proud of all of my accomplishments. So much has changed with me. Good things. My weight still is like a roller coaster, but the ultimate direction is downward, so I'll keep plugging away at it. I just turned 40 a couple of weeks ago and am probably in the best shape of my life. That makes me HAPPY! I still have a ways to go, but it's a work in progress. I am loving seeing the changes in my body that lifting weights brings!
Sore muscles=one happy Momma! :-)
Just felt in the mood to share my love of life right now. I hope all of my Spark friends are finding themselves in GOOD PLACES also!
Love to all of you!

Chrissy! I have no idea how I missed this blog but I'm so happy for you! You have grown so much and I appreciate you sharing your journey of ups and downs, good things and frustrations alike. It's great seeing how BE is trying and how you can enjoy the moment and knowing that you will be there for him if and when he does struggle.
Way to go on that weight loss too! I am trying to keep my own in the right direction........so much easier to put it on than to take it off. But baby steps, right?

from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
But this pre-Code romp allows Lubitsch to add his light touch to a frothy, slightly risque tale of Miriam Hopkins refusing to choose between writer Frederick March and painter Gary Cooper.
Michael Giltz: DVD: Woody Allen Back On Top, Ready For Oscar Love
(Abrams ComicArts), I uncover over two hundred pre-Code horror and crime comics of the 1950s.

No wonder that scene was used in the recent documentary on pre-Code women, although in this context one can appreciate it better.
My other Ginger Rogers on TCM gleaning, this is a tasty and surprisingly cynical pre-Code potboiler starring Warren William as a smooth-talking industrialist (did he play anything else?).
One of the thousand reasons to cherish Turner Classic Movies: they quietly played a trio of pre-Code Mae Clarke vehicles last Friday.
The chemistry between the two actors is mildly flirtatious (if I remember correctly, the pre-Code 1931 Falcon made it clearer that Effie and Sam had a thing going) and a joy to behold.
And it's not just sexy but also revolutionary, daring, sweet, sour, cynical, carefree, poignant, and so far ahead of its time that one could cite it as not only a pre-Code masterpiece but also a prefeminist testimonial.
This pre-Code version, directed by Roy Del Ruth and originally titled Dangerous Female, flaunts a sexier tone than John Huston's more famous 1941 remake.
At 12:00 noon: This rarely shown film -- the first based on a Hammett book -- is loosely based on the author's classic gang-war novel Red Harvest, a story which proved too brutal and cynical for pre-Code Hollywood.
From the outset it was retro, full of nostalgia for the jazz age and pre-Code Hollywood.

Missouri Man Charged in Double Homicide Case
