Essential Film Performances - 2010 Edition Part One
PopMatters follows up last year's hugely popular 100 Essential Female and Male Performances feature with 50 additions to the essentials list. We'll unveil a batch each day this week alongside an exclusive interview with one of the actresses on that day's list.
Naturally, after last year's 100 Essential Female and Male Performances lists, we felt the need to further explore the performances by those great male and female actors that did not initially make our epic lists. Whether through the helpful suggestions in the comments section, grueling grad genre studies or just good old-fashioned movie watching, I have been made aware of some truly great performances over the past year that I think deserve a similar treatment, deserve to have the spotlight shined on them.
Though our initial lists of 100 were divided into "Male" and "Female", further updates will merge the gender barriers for equality's sake, queuing the honorees in alphabetical order, 25 men, 25 women. Some of the people on the list already transgress the boundaries of what is male and what is female: to categorize a performance like Volker Spengler as Elvira in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's In a Year of 13 Moons by solely by gender makes little sense. In addition to taking the gender division out of list for this round, we are keeping the categories from the first list (Life Support, The Dark Side, Classics You Should Have Seen By Now, From Page to Screen and Under the Radar), though we are no longer ordering our lists bycategory.
Under the Radar
Norma Aleandro
The Official Story
(Luis Puenzo, 1985)
When Aleandro was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Gaby: A True Story (1987), quite a few people were surprised, as the role is minimal and Aleandro has no "Oscar" moments in the film. There was little doubt, though, that the nomination was compensation for the Oscar's failure to nominate Aleandro for her extraordinary performance two years prior in Puenzo's The Official Story (La Historia Oficial ). As Alicia, an adoptive mother and wife of an affluent politician who slowly comes to realize that the orphaned child she and her husband have adopted is the child of murdered dissidents, and that her husband is complicit in the death of the young girl's biological parents, Aleandro is riveting to watch as the camera lingers to capture her extraordinarily expressive face. Whether laughing in a café with friends or walking out on the husband who has just tortured her, she dominates the scene.
Considering the nature of what her character endures, lesser actresses would have made Alicia larger than life, slinging emotions all over the screen. However, Aleandro plays it all internally, controlling the fury and fear seizing Alicia's thoughts. The Official Story is equal parts family drama, political thriller, and feminist tale, providing the type of female role that actresses crave. In Aleandro, the film has found its Alicia, and consequently, all parts of the film come to life.

Kim Basinger
The Door in the Floor
(Tod Williams, 2004)
The Door in the Floor, based on John Irving's 1998 novel A Widow For One Year, isn't exactly a well-known film. It certainly didn't gain the fame or critical acclaim of awards magnet L.A. Confidential. Kim Basinger's turn as a high class call girl in Curtis Hanson's throwback may have been the racehorse that earned her laurels including an Oscar, but it is her portrayal of the frozen-with-grief Marion Cole in The Door in the Floor that showed viewers something even more unique- a fresh, layered dissection of a bereaved mother.
Basinger and costar Jeff Bridges portray a separated couple grieving the loss of two sons, an arduous balancing act made even less stable when a new young man is sent to stay with them for the summer. Though never vocalized, it soon becomes clear that Eddie (Jon Foster) is serving as somewhat of a replacement son for each parent. Basinger doesn't adhere to the usual methods of portraying grief. She's doesn't drink, rarely cries, and never succumbs to violent outbursts of any kind. Instead, she stares numbly out at the ocean as the turn signal in her car blinks on and off. Her eyes become small and black, just as they do when someone alludes to "the accident". Her misery is unparalleled, but Basinger keenly chooses to let her subtle actions depict the character's plight instead of showy, nonsensical gestures. It's a performance that draws little or no attention to itself, but stands as calculated and crafted as any. It's one the Academy and audiences should reward, but rarely do.

The Classics You Should Have Seen by Now
Humphrey Bogart
In a Lonely Place
(Nicholas Ray, 1951)
Many of director Nicholas Ray's most memorable works were produced for Warner Brothers (Rebel Without a Cause, for instance) but his 1950 masterpiece In a Lonely Place was a Columbia Pictures effort for Humphrey Bogart's Santana Productions, and it is Bogart's stellar performance as down-on-his-luck studio scribe Dixon Steele that elevates the film from an edgy thriller to a rich and complex psychological portrait of a man haunted by internal demons that literally threaten the safety of all who stray within striking distance of him.
Both the tone and the subject (anger management and domestic violence) of Ray's film are surprisingly modern, as is Bogart's jaw-dropping performance; as contemporary director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) says in the mini-documentary In a Lonely Place: Revisited there is "an absence of acting" in Bogart's work in the film, "an absence of technique… revealing things that perhaps he himself did not want to reveal… he looks physically ugly at times; we see his vulnerability, we see his fear, we see his needs."
In the film (based on a novel by Dorothy B. Hughes) Steele is surrounded by sycophantic popcorn salesmen who don't understand his moody temperament; they just want him to get his shit together and adapt a trashy bestseller novel for them. Rather than bother with reading the book himself, Dix convinces a star-struck hatcheck girl, Mildred, to accompany him home and tell him the story in her own words. When Mildred is found viciously murdered later that evening, Steele, who has a history of violence, becomes the prime suspect.
In a Lonely Place is a spot-on indictment of the film industry. Dix is an artist and the artist is powerless in Hollywood; when a man is dis-empowered, anger and aggression is sure to follow. In Hughes' source novel Steele is a rapist and a serial killer but Ray changed that in the adaptation process because, as he said, he "was more interested in doing a film about the violence inside all of us, rather than a mass murder film or one about a psychotic".
Rodger Jacobs

Maria Callas
(Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1970)
She doesn't sing a note in the film, but acclaimed opera singer, Callas uses her years of stage training to telegraph powerful emotion delivered via facial expressions and body language in Medea. Passolini's Medea, aside from the basic storyline lifted from classical mythology, certainly isn't Euripides' Medea or even the sorceress found in Seneca's dramatization. For all of the glorious prose and acting stretches that the two ancient playwrights afforded their leads, Passolini's rendering of Medea suffers in near silence throughout the course of the film's depiction of ritual, tradition and myth.
Callas makes the most of every scene, conveying emotion -- or a lack of -- through her magnificent, kohl-rimmed eyes. When first introduced to a pre-Jason Medea, she presides over a ritual human sacrifice, carrying out her duties as priestess with mystical, dead-eyed acceptance. When she must turn the blade on her brother to save her lover, she connects her role as priestess with the fortitude required to exact the deed, dominated by visible resolve and remorse. Later in the film, Callas as an older Medea -- spurned by her husband for a younger, more profitable marriage -- concocts the mother (pardon the pun) of all revenge schemes with a righteous anger simmering below the surface. Callas inexplicably makes Medea a sympathetic figure in spite of her heinous acts. As she sends her children to do her bidding -- and ultimately to their doom -- her subtly satisfied glimmer of revenge is visible, but buried beneath the layers of a desperate, yet still-regal housewife and tender, grieving mother.

The Dark Side
Lon Chaney Jr.
The Wolfman
(George Waggner, 1941)
As the prodigal son/awkward blue-blood and unfortunate victim of a werewolf bite that rendered him cursed, Chaney stepped out of his father's shadow and created one of the most memorable -- if not sorely underrated -- movie monster performances of all time. Portraying the likeable Larry Talbot, Chaney's character returns from America following the death of his brother in WWI to his family's British estate. Although Chaney towered over his on-screen father (the equally good Claude Rains) and possessed a distinctly American accent compared to Sir John Talbot's veddy British tone, the chemistry between the two men made their father-son relationship utterly believable.
Throughout the course of the film, Chaney contorts his features to express a gamut of emotions. When first introduced to the character of Larry Talbot, he's a charming, happy-go-lucky young man. As a human coming to grips with his own fate, in a pivotal scene at the grave site of Bela (Bela Lugosi), the cursed werewolf who bit him, Chaney's face is a study in subtlety of expression as he listens to the gypsy's mother bid her son farewell. He lurks in the shadows, not as a menacing presence, but rather as a compassionate figure before giving way to a short, silent, yet explosive moment of grief. Chaney gifts the Wolf Man with an aura of tragedy, his performance superbly and sympathetically conveying Talbot's terror at his own transformation, contrasted later with a visible sense of peace at his own demise.

Today organizations of all sizes are adopting wiki solutions as a way to facilitate communication and collaboration around planning, projects and departmental matters. Wiki solutions allow users to attach documents to pages and to hyperlink to those documents from other pages. This is extremely useful, however documents, which have traditionally been stored and secured on corporate shared drives are now living in separate places. Some now live within the wiki, while others continue to live on file servers. This is an example of an age-old issue in technology; as we bring in new tools that provide us with more options and better ways to work we are faced managing the side effects of a growing technology footprint.
This issue is not new technology, but instead, one of architecture. As our needs grow we need to adjust our architecture to accommodate new demands. In this case, what we need to do to solve the problem is to separate a few concerns. Some users want to access the document through a file server (shared drive) while others want to access it via the wiki. Traditional shared drive technology doesn't do a great deal to help us accommodate this. Traditional shared drives provide file system access to documents but lack APIs that allow us to get to our content by more sophisticated means. Further, most wiki technology is one sided as well; while a wiki solution may provide web based access via pages and services they tend to lack file system access. Finally, even if the wiki could "project" its store as a shared drive it's not likely to be the proper system of record for your documents. By separating the issues of storage, management and delivery we can articulate a solution that allows us to serve documents through a traditional shared drive interface via a proper system of record while at the same time, providing APIs that allow us to get to that content as a service so we can incorporate better ways of working with the document through new technologies as they emerge.
Enter Alfresco. Alfresco is architected from the ground up to be a system of record. It's designed to provide API / service based access to your documents and content, as well as traditional shared drive access. Alfresco supports three different remote programming APIs including SOAP, webscripts and CMIS. And in addition to presenting itself as a file server so users can connect to it as a file share, Alfresco also mimics an FTP server, a WEBDAV server and even a Microsoft Share Point server. Alfresco is designed to store, secure and manage your documents and to provide access to those documents in the way that best suits your users.
If we use Alfresco to store our documents and integrate our wiki solution to read and write documents though Alfresco's APIs rather to the wiki itself we satisfy our objectives:
- Store documents in a proper system of record
- Allow file-share access to the documents
- Allow API level access to client applications like wiki
Alfresco's capabilities go far beyond security and content retrieval. Once your documents are in Alfresco they can be searched, workflowed, transformed, translated, versioned and so on and so on, no matter how they are accessed; all through stock capabilities provided by Alfresco out of the box.
At Rivet Logic we see real value in allowing knowledge workers to interact with their content though tools and in whatever process that fits their needs best. At the same time, it's important to manage content or the same efficiencies that are gained through productive tools and well-designed process are lost due to stove-piped information. The need is real, and given that, we set out to create an open source project that demonstrates a more appropriate architecture and provides a stepping-stone for much greater integration going forward. Najy Nicolas, a "Riveter" from our Boston office has integrated one of the most popular wikis, Confluence, with the management capabilities of Alfresco, the leading open source document repository. We're calling this project the Confluence Alfresco Integration rivet or CAIr for short. CAIr is open source. You can find downloads, source code and documentation here: http://wiki.rivetlogic.com/display/CAIR/Home

Hospital May Have Sidestepped Prior Rules for Face Transplant
A Boston hospital may have broken its prior rules to reconstruct a man's face.
April 10, 2009 -- A Boston hospital may have bent its own rules to offer a disfigured patient a facial transplant -- but doctors and ethicists say the move was likely justified.
The surgery, which took place Thursday at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, is the second face transplant operation performed in the United States and the seventh in the world.
A team of seven plastic surgeons and one ear, nose and throat surgeon led by Dr. Bohdan Pomahac took 17 hours to complete the surgery, according to a hospital press release. The release further indicated that the nose, hard palate, upper lip, facial skin, muscles of facial animation and the nerves that power them and provide sensation were transferred to the recipient from a deceased donor.
The patient was a man who required facial reconstruction after injuries he suffered in a severe traumatic accident, Kevin Myron, manager of media relations for Brigham and Women's Hospital, said.
At a Friday press conference, Pomahac acknowledged that the patient had not undergone immunosuppressant therapy before the operation -- a deviation from the hospital's previously stated policy on facial transplantation.
Immunosuppressant therapy -- a course of medication designed to ratchet down a patient's immune response -- is necessary in such operations to prevent the patient's body from rejecting the organs or tissues of the donor. Such therapy is crucial to the patient's survival, but it also comes with serious side effects, including an increased risk of infections.
At Friday's press conference, Pomahac said that the hospital has obtained approval from an institutional review board -- a committee that reviews the ethics of medical procedures -- for performing the operation on patients not on immunosuppressants. He said that the hospital made the decision to liberalize the rule in order to help more patients in need.
"We felt it was a natural progression of the program to extend [the operation] to the patient who is not on immunosuppressants."
Still, immunosuppressant therapy is a significant commitment. Dr. Joseph McCarthy, director of the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at New York University's Langone Medical Center, said that the side effects of immunosuppression may be an even weightier consideration than the surgery itself.
"You are really committing the patient to a lifetime of treatment to prevent rejection," he said. "You have to be absolutely convinced that no existing traditional surgery or techniques would give these patients the quality of life they need, and therefore you can justify starting a course of immunosuppressant medications."
Pomahac said that the patient is now on immunosuppressants, and likely will be for the forseeable future.
"The patient is now expected to take immunosuppressant medication for the rest of his life," he said. "There is nothing on the horizon, no major medical breakthrough that would suggest otherwise."
But he noted that the doses would likely be reduced as time progresses, which would likely come hand-in-hand with a reduction in side effects.
Implications of Immunosuppression After Face Transplant
The importance of such side effects was not lost on Brigham and Women's. A 2007 article in a hospital newsletter and a 2008 article in the journal Transplantation suggest that Brigham and Women's had a policy in place not to perform such a surgery on any patient who did not already have a suppressed immune system.
"The BWH team recognizes the ethical concerns and tailored BWH's programs to address them," reads the article in a 2007 issue of BWH Bulletin. "One concern is that transplant patients spend the rest of their lives taking immunosuppressant drugs to keep the body from rejecting the organ. BWH will only perform facial transplants on those who already are on these drugs, most likely from a previous transplant."
Pomahac is quoted in the article as saying that patients already on immunosuppressants "know what it's like to live on these drugs, which can have debilitating effects on the body."
And in the 2008 Transplantation article, Pomahac wrote:
"We currently share the concern that life-long immunosuppression associated with facial transplantation may not outweigh its benefits as compared to the alternative reconstructive methods. We asked ourselves the question of which patient population would risk less and overall benefit more from undergoing face transplantation, and identified those currently on immunosuppressive therapy the most suitable candidates."
The hospital newsletter article further suggested that Brigham and Women's would only perform partial face transplants, chiefly in response to critics' concerns over "the ethics of changing a person's identity."
Position Shift on Face Tranplant Ethically Justified
Still, surgeons and ethicists alike appear to agree that shifting away from a policy limiting the patient pool for face transplants may not be such a bad thing -- particularly considering the horrific injuries that candidates for this surgery possess.
"I don't think that it makes sense to try and limit face transplantation to those already on immunosuppression," said Art Caplan, head of the bioethics center at the University of Pennsylvania. "That might be preferable, other things being equal, but the number of persons who will fit that selection standard is tiny."
Rosamond Rhodes, director of bioethics education at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, agreed. "When the facial disfigurement is so severe as to merit the risks of transplantation, the extra burdens of immunosuppression hardly adds to the burden.
"In that light, the BWH policy seems designed to spare the surgeons and institution from guilt or public criticism, rather than to serve the interests of patients in need of a face transplant," she added.
Brigham and Women's is not the only institution to have such a policy, however. Dr. L. Scott Levin, chief of plastic, reconstructive, oral and maxillofacial surgery and a professor of orthopaedic and plastic surgery at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., said that Duke has been IRB approved to conduct a face transplant operation, and they, too, have a policy that would limit the patient pool to those already taking immunosuppressants.
But he added that if the opportunity arose to perform such an operation -- even on a patient who was not currently immunosuppressed -- he would jump at the chance.
"There is such a huge need in patients who have been burned, unusually disfigured or injured in war," Levin said. "I'd do it in a heartbeat."
And McCarthy said he has no doubt that Brigham and Women's fully weighed the risks and benefits of the surgery and lifelong immunosuppression before going forward.
"You're at a first-rate institution," he said. "These decisions are not going to be made casually."
Face Transplant Operations Go Global
McCarthy added that Frenchwoman Isabelle Dinoire, the world's first patient to have a face transplant, only went on immunosuppressants after her operation in her home country in 2005, and she appears to be doing well today.
After Dinoire became the first recipient of a partial face transplant in November 2005, similar surgeries in various countries have followed.
The first such surgery in the U.S., took place in December and repaired the face of a female patient using facial tissue from a dead female donor.
Most recently, on the weekend of April 4, a team of doctors at Henri Mondor hospital in Paris performed the world's first simultaneous partial-face and double-hand transplant on a 30-year-old burn victim.

The Houston Dynamo closed their preseason with a 3-1 win over Chivas USA Saturday night in the second annual Spring Classic at Harder Stadium on the campus of the University of California-Santa Barbara.
All-time leading scorer Brian Ching had two assists as Houston took a 2-0 lead, and All-Star midfielder Brad Davis scored in his first appearance since playing for the U.S. national team on February 24.
The Dynamo took the lead with goals in the 51st and 59th minutes, as Ching set up first Dominic Oduro and then Davis for goals. Chivas USA came back with a headed goal from Yamith Cuesta from a corner kick in the 83rd minute. Houston quickly restored its two-goal advantage when Adrian Serioux headed in a corner kick from Francisco Navas Cobo.
For Houston, Davis made his first appearance since leaving the United States game against El Salvador with a hamstring injury, and Richard Mulrooney played 88 minutes, his longest stint since coming back from knee surgery.
Houston finished the preseason unbeaten, going 7-0-4 overall, 3-0-4 against professional opposition, and 2-0-3 against MLS teams.
The Dynamo's regular season begins March 27 with a road match against FC Dallas, and the Houston home opener is on Thursday, April 1, against defending MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake. More information is available by calling (713) 276-7500.

A trailer for Danny Boyle's "Frankenstein" has made its way online and from the name I'm guessing it a retelling of the classic story but from the video I have no clue what the hell is going on. I would think you can't call a movie "Frankenstein" and then have it be about to star crossed lovers who find each other in the middle of an amusement park but what the hell do I know.
A new trailer for "Source Code", which I had no idea about but Duncan Jones made it and he made "Moon" so now I'm excited, has hit the tubes and it's your civic duty to watch it. I'm not even sure how to explain it because the description sounds fake but I think there's something about Jake Gyllenhaal trying to stop a bomb from going off, or a web site from crashing, probably the first one though.
You like the Ha-Ha yes? Good, if you said no I was going to ask you to get the hell of my lawn. But since you do here's the new trailer for "Paul" which stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as a couple of comic book geeks who come across an alien during a road trip. I swear you better like the Ha-Ha.
Flesh eating acid, a killer High School Mascot and a bunch of kids stuck in a school? Sign me up folks! Here's the trailer for the new flick from "Gutterballs" director Ryan Nicholson titled "Famine". Just so we're clear I don't want those things to happen to me, I just want to see a movie with it. Don't show up to my house dressed as a Spartan looking to murder me or anything.
Inspired by true events? Anthony Hopkins? Exorcism? Movie? These are all words you can read! There also words that describe the film "The Rite" which finally has a trailer. We're off to a good start today.
Patrick Alvarez, someone I have no idea about, has been tapped to direct "Girls", a movie about a girls slumber party gone terribly wrong. Apparently this is not a porn, which might explain the terribly wrong part. Or maybe that's just for me. At the very least there better we a tickle fight.
If you didn't see Duncan Jones' "Moon" then you missed out because it was awesome and it had zero Jake Gyllenhaal's. Unfortunately his follow up "Source Code" has one Jake Gyllenhaal but you should still give it a chance. Based on the new behind the scenes photos of the pic it might have a chance, if that jackass doesn't smile with the stupid goofy face of his.
Johnny Depp on the new Tim Burton film "Dark Shadows" which is based on the cult TV show, "it's gotten f**kin' good". That is all.

When I started blogging, I did so for one simple reason
There are no Mage blogs, therefore I must blog.
I soon realised the error of my ways, it was more like
I can see no Mage blogs, therefore there are none.
This of course wasn't quite true.
I had found the burned out husks of Mage blogs, some of which I think must have been special in their arcane moment of glory, now reduced to ashes.
I could see some Mage blogs, but not many, but then one led to another, which led to another, which led to us forming a very tight community, one that was special because for some reason, Mage blogs are rarely Mage blogs.
I mean obviously they are Mage blogs, but at 781 posts, I would be lying if I thought more than 10% of these were true Mage posts.
Hunters, for some unknown reason, after years in existence, can still generate theorycrafting post after theorycrafting post after… awww not another blooping theorycrafting post!
But Mages, all jokes aside, can get away with one each patch.
What was previously a 1, 2, 1, 2, 3 rotation is now a 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3 rotation
There, done, let's get down to the important stuff like expressing our love of Magery in WoW.
In my farewell comment to Larísa, I expressed this simply:
You will go down in memory as the the greatest Mage blog that never was a Mage blog.
This is something we had discussed many times, she was a Blogging Mage, rather than a Mage blogger. The only times she ever got close to talking Magery was before she wrote in English (yes she translated them, but they were early posts) and when she was dragged into a Mage War by some annoying green-haired, green-bearded, Gnome Fire Mage and another new-comer on the scene a nutty Frost Mage, now also gone, but not forgotten by the name of Krizzlybear.
But, she was always a Mage blogger to me.
Over time, we became more than half seen shadows on the foothpath, we became known faces
Our names maybe not so well known yet, but that didn't matter, we were faces and faces attracted more faces and we became a vibrant community. We weren't the oldest of the Mage bloggers, and we weren't the youngest and to be honest I don't know that that distinction was ever made with the exception of the welcome to the community post. I swear for a while there we were racing to find new Mage bloggers, to find that as yet uncommented post that stated, like so many before them
Hi I'm a Mage and I have decided to blog because I can't find any Mage blogs.
Sometimes I would be too late and there would already be footprints in the sand, nearly always little footprints, some left by Larísa, some left by Krizzlybear.
We took these new bloggers, wrapped them in our arms (of the community) and introduced them to the world.
They were no longer invisible, nor shadows, nor even nameless Mages.
They had a name, a place in our blogrolls, a place in the WoWblogsphere.
I know many more have come since, many that I haven't had the time to acknowledge, some that even personally sought me out in the hope I would acknowledge them.
Many I have failed in this, many I believe have given up, yet many continue on, same-same, but different.
Mage bloggers at heart, yet storytellers of all descriptions, backgrounds, interests and beliefs.
Those that have known for a long time will know that for a while I averaged 1.5 posts a day, 7 days a week, even when I was away for 6 weeks I still managed nearly one post a day, most of which I wrote before leaving for that holiday.. yes I was knocking out 3-4 posts per day, but scheduling most of them.
Those days have gone, I would now be better thought of as AFK.
Sure I'm still about, but not consistently enough to take a punt that there is a new post here at 10am every day.
In fact, I remind myself now of many of the Mage bloggers that did exist when I 1st started blogging… here one day, gone for a month, a frenzy of writing… nothing… hello… goodbye… gawd can you believe those pugs… QQ.. wow awesome!
I started using a feedreader purely because it drove me crazy visiting 20 blogs a day that hadn't been updated.
I'm still here, remembered fondly by some, hounded by others behind the scenes for posts, but whatever the case, I am still here, I just don't have the Bearittude that some have, I can't just sit in front of the PC now and knock out a post a day… which is a shame really, it means I discard more post ideas than I write.
Still… still I am here and occasionally I can mention someone, reinforce the existence of the many and varied WoW bloggers that are still here and mention those that have the itch but aren't quite sure if they should begin a blog.
I still like to utter:
Mage ahoy!
I still take great joy in seeing and reading new blogs… if only I had the time to read them consistently.
So if you are thinking about starting a blog, or maybe have recently just done so, don't fear the leaving of the great bloggers like Larísa and Kriz. This is an opportunity for your to shine like the great bloggers before you. You may be a "Cataclysm baby", but don't let the years of experience that the veterans throw about scare your, what the WoW blogosphere needs is freshness and vitality, new eyes on old things, the joy, your joy of playing which inspires all that stumble across your blog, or your forum, or your webcomic.
The WoW blogosphere is not about the likes of Larísa or Kriz or myself or the countless bloggers that have come before… it is about you and what you will give to a community that will devour anything, including the frequently incoherent ramblings of a silly, if not insane, Gnome Mage Blogger with great balls of fire.
At some point, maybe in the near future, maybe in years to come, someone will drop by here and what they will see is
They wont see years of blog posts and if they even began to look back they would roll their eyes at many of the insane posts that I have made. No, not the truly insane, they will never lose their appeal, rather those posts which were dated hours before I hit publish, but you know what, I don't give a flying freddo frog, because the eternal joy for me was writing them in the 1st place.
Oi, get back vultures, this isn't a farewell post… though I guess in a sense it looks like one, but it isn't, so sod off!
If you feel like blogging remember the cost… the infrastructure is free, WordPress and Blogger will give it to you for nothing (unless you want something swanky), the cost comes in terms of your time and dedication, maybe your job or your relationship if you aren't careful… but if you are careful the rewards can't be measured by anyone but yourself.
Remember to announce yourself on the Twisted Nether Wiki's Big List of Blogs (Blob).
Remember to announce yourself on Blog Azeroth
Remember to listen to the next weeks Twisted Nether Podcast to hear them stumble over your name
Remember to get onto Twitter and annoy your idols
Remember that this isn't just about static words on a webpage, it's about an amazing community where people will come and go, but touch your heart forever.
Gnomer and Out!
Ohh shite.. I nearly forgot… the whole inspiration for this post (yeah I know it is probably unbelievable considering the Gnomewall (tm) above, but it was in response to an email I received about World of Graphs.
I've blabbered on enough, so I will let Trebonius, the human do his own talking.
I'm Trebonius, I've discovered your website a few days ago, while I was looking for some information for my mage (Trebonius – EU-Garona)
Moreover, I'm the webmaster of World of WarGraphs
I really think that you could be interested in the tools my website provide, that's why I write you that email.
The goal of my website is to present the stats of the best players (pve & pvp), so as to make them have the informations on one website, updated every second day.
For instance, let's say you want to create a PvP Mage (yes, Pvp is better than PvE, imo ^^) 🙂
The first thing you'll search on forums is : what is the best race for my mage ?
If you go on this page : Mages races (players above 2200 rating) you'll see immediatly what best PvP players (PvP players with at least 2200 rating) do & you should choose an undead or human
Then, professions : PvP Mages professions (players above 2200 rating) & Jewelcrafting and engineering
You can also search what are the talents best PvP players use, their glyphs, the items they use, how they gem their stuff, how they enchant it …
Moreover, you have realms rankings, so as to know where are the best realms for pvp, where are the best pvp players
You have also on the website a PvE section (which displays more or less the same stats, but for pve players :p)
I would like to know if you could introduce my website to your community, or if you are interested in something like a link exchange ?
Trebonius, the human 🙂

Kent was in the building on Saturday night
Railers score an unimpressive win over
Normal West
By Jeff Benjamin
Send a link to a friend
[January 06, 2014]
Clark Kent was in the building on Saturday night.
You remember him, don't you? The mild-mannered alter ego of
Superman. The average-looking, do-just-enough reporter who made his
daily rounds at the Daily Planet and whose actions prompted
responses that topped out at shrugs of the shoulder and never
getting a second look for the mundane items he accomplished.
That was certainly the feeling Railer Nation may have had when leaving
Roy S. Anderson Gymnasium on Saturday night after the Railers were
unimpressive in their 52-41 victory over Normal West. The win
extended Lincoln's home winning streak to 16 and left their record
unblemished at 12-0. However, the result was less than satisfying
for the coaching staff.
"I'm really disappointed tonight," Lincoln coach Neil Alexander said
after the game. "We play the way we do down in Collinsville and then
come back home and do this. We really only had two guys show up
tonight, Joey Olden and Edward Bowlby. Everybody else, I'm not sure
what their mind was on."
The superhero-like dominance the Railers had on display to win the
tournament down in Collinsville to end 2013 was not evident against
the Wildcats (2-10). I'm not sure what their kryptonite was, but the
fans who were waiting to see the Lincoln team that dominated the
competition just a week ago are still waiting.
Early on, the tough pressure defense was doing its thing as turnover
after turnover was converted into points. After Bowlby got the
Railers on the board, Olden participated in his own layup drill for
three consecutive baskets, all after Normal West turnovers. When Max
Cook sank a 3-pointer —
the 100th of his career —
from the top of the key, the Lincoln lead was 12-3, and everything was
looking like an easy night at the "Roy."
After a defensive miscue, the outside shooting of Normal West
brought them back into the game quickly. Zach Breen hit two of his
3-pointers in the stretch and sank three free throws after being
fouled, and quicker than a hiccup, the game was tied at 12. Bowlby
put Lincoln back up 14-12, but a basket from Phil Yuncker knotted
the contest at 14 at the end of the first quarter.
As the second quarter started with Normal West jumping to their
first lead of the night on a Josh Robinson basket, it was evident
that the play of the starters was just not sitting well with
Lincoln's coach. One starter after another made their way to the
bench, with Alexander hoping they could find the focus that was not
being displayed on the court. All the scoring for Lincoln in the
second quarter came from nonstarters. Austin Krusz tied the game at
16 with a lay-in, and after a West miss, Payton Ebleherr continued
his good play with a 3-pointer from the left wing, a shot he
took with no hesitation, still showing the confidence that started
growing by leaps and bounds in Collinsville.
One thing the Railers were able to do over the previous four games,
for the most part, was that when they had a lead, the lead continued to
grow and their defense took all the energy out of any hope their
opponents had to come back. Saturday night, the Wildcats played tough
and hung in at every turn. A quick five points put Normal West back
up 21-19. A steal by Olden ended up being the only basket of the
night for Will Cook, a score that tied the game at 21 as the teams
went to the locker room.
With the starters back on the court to start the second half,
Yuncker continued to be problematic for the Railers as he set up
camp at the free-throw line and was able to hit the open shots he
was given. His first score of the second half put West up 23-21. A
free throw from Bowlby and basket from Gavin Block put Lincoln up
24-23. After another Yuncker score, Olden and Tyler Horchem hit
3s to give Lincoln a little separation at 30-25. Coach Brian Cupples continued to get the ball to Yuncker, who did not disappoint
as the Wildcats were hanging in at 30-27.
[to top of second column]
An old-fashioned three-point play from Bowlby, who led the squad with 17
points, pushed the lead to six, but the 3-point shooting
from West continued to frustrate the Railers. Breen and Hayden
Maurice were able to find the open spots and get the shots to
fall as both teams traded three-point plays of one variety or
another. A key offensive rebound from Ebelherr led to a 3
from Block to stretch the lead to 36-30. Bowlby completed
another three-point play with eight seconds to go in the quarter
after a pass from Block, but West answered again as the Lincoln
lead was only three heading to the fourth at 39-36.
Maybe Normal West wore down or Lincoln finally found that gear
they needed, but the fourth quarter was all Lincoln. An early
7-0 run in the first two minutes pushed the Railer lead to
double digits for the first time at 46-36. After a Wildcat
score, Bowlby and Block each split a pair of free throws, and an
easy lay-in from Bowlby gave Lincoln a 50-38 lead. A basket from
Max Cook finally put this one away, with the Railers winning by
This certainly was not the best performance of the season from
this Railer squad and coach Alexander is
hoping his team can find that focus before their next game.
"If you're not mentally
ready to play, it affects everything you do — shooting, passing,
rebounding, everything," Alexander said. "Tonight, for whatever
reason, we were not ready to play."
A couple of seniors led the way, with Bowlby scoring 17 and Olden
adding 12. Block scored eight, with Max Cook tallying five.
Horchem and Ebelherr each hit one 3 on the night, while Will
Cook and Krusz scored two each.
Lincoln has two games on tap this week. First, on Friday, the Railers will play their first true road game of the season by
taking on Springfield High School at Willard Duey Gymnasium. On
Saturday, the Railers will welcome Jacksonville in a game that
is rescheduled from the postponement earlier in the season. The
Springfield game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.
With the number of turnovers this defense has been able to
generate, the squad certainly could be called the "Men of
Steal." However, if we see many more Clark Kent-type
performances, we might want to try to direct the Railers to a
phone booth. We're going to need Superman to lift the
expectations this team is creating with every win.
Bowlby 6 5-8 17, Olden 5 0-1 12, Block 3 1-2 8, M.Cook 2 0-0 5,
Horchem 1 0-0 3, Ebelherr 1 0-0 3, W.Cook 1 0-0 2, Krusz 1 0-0
2, Conrady 0 0-0 0, Perry 0 0-0 0. Team 20 6-11 52. 3-point
field goals 6 (Olden 2, M.Cook, Horchem, Ebelherr, Block).
Breen 15, Yuncker 9, Jones 7, Maurice 6, Robinson 4. Team 15 4-8
41. 3-point field goals 7 (Breen 4, Maurice 2, Jones).
Lincoln 14-7-18-13 52

During a staff banquet on the day before the book is placed in the hands of the student body, it will be reviewed by prominent students and faculty members, Morehouse said. At this time, discussion on the various new sections of the books will be held. Chief among these added features are the extra color plates, the novel opening section, and the new women's section of which Ruth Ann Byerley is editor. The sports section, replete with action illustrations, will be one of the largest ever presented "The success we have had in issuing the year book on time is largely due to several of thc members of the staff,'' Morehouse said. "Among those who deserve special commendation are John Morley and Waller Roberts, assistant editors; Ray Oeiler associate editor! and Harper Olmstead business manager with his entire staff." Morehouse also said lhat Mouse Family, editors of the Alley Rat have done exceptional work. This section which includes humor, will be separated from all other material this year. In commenting on the SKELETONS QUAKE AS 'YELLOW DOG' REVEALS SECRETS ork of the business staff, Morehouse sta ted that all available advertising space has been sold. This foct, more than any other, he said, makes possible the early release of El Rodeo. All staff members are requested by the editor to attend a meeting, Wednesday noon, in the El Rodeo office. Unrequited Love. Lucid Intervals, Embarrasing Moments Will Be Publicized. Have you a guilty consciounce? Are you afraid to stand up and meet the world? Will your best friends tell you?

SUNY Canton Commencement Graduates 700 StudentsSaturday, May 22nd, 2010
Among the 700 graduates who had their degrees conferred at SUNY Canton's 102nd commencement ceremony were two students whose friendship extended far beyond the normal realm of college roommates.
Marquise Paillere of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, who received an associate degree in individual studies, and Xiaoli Zhang of Hefei, China, who received a bachelor's degree in management, both received the Presidential Recognition Award for their efforts leading to the creation of the SUNY Canton Haitian Student Relief fund.
"We applaud the individual and collective accomplishments of all of our graduates," said SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy. "During the years that these graduates have attended SUNY Canton, our College has grown tremendously. They have helped to shape our College for years to come."
Other commencement highlights included:
- Approximately 20 students in Bosnia joined commencement via live video feed. Students from the American University in Bosnia Herzegovina received their bachelor's degrees in finance alongside their classmates at SUNY Canton. In some cases, this will be the first time that the two contingents have ever met.
- Student athletes Julie Vander Wiel, a legal studies graduate from Malone, and Mark Talamo, a management graduate from Oswego, both recently won awards from the SUNY Canton Kangaroo's Athletic Department. Vander Wiel, who played basketball for four years, received the Nicole Fleury Memorial Leadership Award and the SUNY Chancellor's Scholar-Athlete Award. Talamo, who played hockey for four years, won the Alden Chadwick Memorial Leadership Award.
- Three graduates earned a diploma and a badge, having graduated from the SUNY Canton David Sullivan St. Lawrence County Law Enforcement Academy the day before Commencement. Ian M. Vanier of Malone is a sworn officer of the Norfolk Police Department and a criminal investigation graduate; Jason A. Streeter of Canton is a sworn officer of the Antwerp Police Department and a Criminal Investigation graduate, and Jennifer A. Amo of Ogdensburg is a sworn police officer of the Antwerp Police Department and a criminal justice graduate.
- All of the graduates of the nursing program were honored at a special pinning ceremony following commencement. Family members and influential friends were invited to present each nursing graduate with their ceremonial pin denoting their profession.
The College's largest and most popular bachelor's degree program was criminal investigation with 28 graduates. Finance saw 23 graduates, and management 22.
Two associate degree programs tied with the most graduates this year. Both nursing and criminal justice had 67 graduates. The third largest program was veterinary science technology with 49 graduates.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

Farmingdale State - 3, Old Westbury - 0
Farmingdale, N.Y. - Freshman forward Ashlee Thompson (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) scored the Rams first two goals of the day, as Farmingdale State (7-5, 2-1) topped Old Westbury, 3-0, in Skyline women's soccer action on Wednesday afternoon.
Thompson opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, converting a pass from senior forward Corine Magee (Mastic, N.Y.), to give the Rams a 1-0 lead, which stood until the halftime break.
In the second half, Thompson and Magee combined for their second score of the day at 50:29, giving Farmingdale the 2-0 edge. The third and final goal of the day came from freshman forward Meghan Cleary (East Meadow, N.Y.), who sent home a pass from senior midfielder Christina Merrill (Levittown, N.Y.).
The Rams held the Panthers (4-8, 1-2 Skyline) to five shots for the day, as freshman goalkeeper Brianna Blair (Littleton, Colo.) made just two saves for her fourth shutout of the year.
Farmingdale State will now host Mount Saint Mary College on Saturday, October 6 at 1:00 p.m.

The Final Straw: Prisoner hunger strike @ Menard, IL, Khimki Forest defense and more
From AFM
This week's episode of The Final Straw features, as usual of recent, three segments. It can be heard between 3AM EST Monday, February 3rd 2014 through Sunday, February 9th 2014 at AFM
First, we hear Sean Swain, anarchist prisoner in Ohio's super-duper-mega-ultra-uber max prison at Youngstown talk about accusations of Utopianism thrown at him for his anarchism. More of his thoughts at http://seanswain.org
Secondly, we speak with author, activist and advocate Staughton Lynd. Mr. Lynd speaks with us about the ongoing hunger strike at Menard Correctional Facility's administrative segregation units in Illinois. The strikes are in response to prisoner complaints of lack of heat and hot water in the freezing facility that was built in the 1870's, leaks around the windows, rodent infestations and the lack of transparency around how people get put into the hole or get out of it. Upon initiating the hunger strike, prisoners (in particular Armando Velasquez who was witness being beaten, thrown down stairs and stomped by correctional officers/screws) have faced threats of force, including forced feeding for which Illinois law does not require court orders. You can find out more by contacting the Alice and Staughton Lynd at salynd(aat)aol (d ot)com. Also, check out articles at The SF Bay View on the subject.
If you care to call/write officials to press for an end to the torture:

Various Artists | WIG301 | Released: 03/12/12
With an array of classic remixes under its belt, Domino is proud to release Motion Sickness - a collection of some of the finest the label has to offer– on December 3rd.
Taking its name from the opening track of Hot Chip's current album In Our Heads, Motion Sickness brings together some of the most respected names in dance music with the key players in the Domino roster.
From disc one's swell of deep, sumptuous re-workings of Domino classics including the Grammy Award-nominated Carl Craig remix of Junior Boys' "Like a Child" right through to the more esoteric, obscure and contemporary rebirths like Mike Simonetti's hard-to-find "Champagne Coast" remix on the second, it's a compilation that will work throughout the night and into the morning.
Now with the release of Motion Sickness, these definitive remixes have been brought together for the first time.
Also featuring suitably kinetic artwork from Liquid Liquid's Dennis Young, Motion Sickness puts the spotlight on Domino's previously obscured night-time alter ego.

NEW YORK (AP) - Donna Karan test drove pieces of her fall collection before she sent them down the catwalk at New York Fashion Week on Monday.
NEW YORK (AP) � Donna Karan test drove pieces of her fall collection before she sent them down the catwalk at New York Fashion Week on Monday.
"I took it last night. I couldn't wait to wear it," Karan said in a post-show interview after greeting guests Uma Thurman, Gretchen Mol and longtime friend Bernadette Peters.
The goal, she explained, was clothes that work for the woman always on the go, with many interests, demands and pleasures. That sure sounds like Karan.
She called the collection "Sensual, Soulful, Sculptural," and there's an emphasis on sculptural, making a dedication in her notes to her late husband, sculptor Stephan Weiss. "His art and soul � is a part of me."
There was a rawness to the collection, and it seemed like it came from the heart.
The opening look � one of the best � was a black draped "bodydress" with a fluid, almost liquidlike, cape on top. It was modern yet timeless, and wearable to the large base Karan appeals to.
There were a lot of body-conscious stretch and jersey looks, as there usually are on this runway, many topped with coats that were textured and interesting, and had a lot of design packed in.
She mixed neoprene and cashmere and made a taffeta down puffer jacket.
Some dresses stand on their own, including a dramatic pewter-colored jersey evening dress with a cape-style back in the seductive style Karan masters.
"I believe the body talks a language all its own. Depending on your DNA, these clothes say something new every time, and create a statement all your own," Karan said.
Associated Press writer John Carucci contributed to this report.

A flaming urn is framed by swagged drapery.
The inscription is carved in an oval.
And at the base, an epitaph—and it is a beauty!
died Oct. 4,
aged 33 years.
Welcome sweet hour of full discharge,
That sets our longing souls at large,
Unbinds our chains, breaks up our cell,
And give us with our God to dwell.
The epitaph is from the hymn "Now Let Our Souls on Wings Sublime" by Thomas Gibbons (b. 1720, d. 1785), a London clergyman.
We have seen that epitaph before, carved on the gravestone of Sarah Flanagan Cellar.
Compare the "handwriting" of the epitaph on the Cellar stone to the Nettleton stone. I suspect both were carved by the same unidentified hand. What do you think?

In the worst case, even the most mature security program may be unprepared to respond effectively to a truly sophisticated adversary. In such events, it is important to have a properly equipped and experienced, go-to partner.
FusionX is prepared to help its customers with the highest level Digital Forensics and Incident Response (IR) capabilities, regardless of scale, scope and complexity.
When established security fails to prevent an intrusion, FusionX offers a team ready to respond immediately and effectively.
Because of the complexity of incident response, a successful program is highly dependent on people, with a lesser reliance on tools than traditional protection and detection capabilities.
Effective incident response requires informed decisions made quickly. Each incident has unique circumstances that must be evaluated and processed in order to quickly move to a state of resolution.
However, any incident, big or small, should be handled according to a repeatable but flexible process that includes appropriate steps to contain and remediate the incident in the most efficient way.
FusionX has refined a process that has proven successful in containing and evicting sophisticated attackers with both pervasive and persistent access to a variety of client environments.
FusionX is dedicated to providing incident response capabilities at the highest level in the industry, based on its background in realistic, sophisticated adversary simulation services.
We think like the enemy – identifying the highest-risk targets and tracing back hacker techniques to give us a better sense of the threat and what's happening. This informs the approach we take.
Our in-house forensic analysis and reverse engineering capabilities are available around the clock – clients have no need of third-party services during the engagement, and all preparation and follow-up activities can be supported seamlessly.
