|An assortment of empanadas at La Dulcita, with chimichurri (Argentinian garlic-parsley sauce).
Edit: Sadly, La Dulcita is no longer in business - it appears the owners have decided to extend their other business, Brother Burger, to cover that shop area as well. If anyone knows where else I can get awesome empanadas, please leave a comment!
I first got a whiff of Argentinian bakery-cafe La Dulcita (413 Brunswick St, Fitzroy) when, one day, I noticed an ad seeking staff for a new South American eatery. While the job was not for me, this was an exciting find! Lo and behold, it emerged several weeks later, just as Simon and I were leaving for our Sydney-Canberra trip, so I promised myself that we'd visit it, first thing, upon our return to Melbourne.
And so we did.
Simon and I are both baked egg fiends, so naturally we went for the Huevos Portenos - baked eggs with potato, chorizo, cheese, salsa and chimichurri... a combination of flavours that radiate warmth, comfort, and satisfaction.
|Huevos portenos - baked eggs.
I was familiar enough with the concept of South American food to know of empanadas, but till then, I had never actually tried one.
So it stands to reason that we had to try ALL the empanadas. In any case, there were only three different flavours (beef & olive; chicken & corn; zucchini, capsicum and egg), and they were quite small.
The texture of the empanada was unique to me - there's an almost bread-like softness to it, with just a gentle hint of flaky crunch. All three were delicious, but it was the beef and olive empanada that really won my heart, falling apart in the mouth like a slow, savoury, sensational stew.

When we paid at the counter I decided to get a few of the sweet pastries for takeaway. They were pleasant enough, though having been kept at room temperature all day in the bakery, I suspect they could be exponentially better if I had warmed them up a little in the oven before eating.
|Sweet pastries from la dulcita.
Verdict? I'll be back to further explore the La Dulcita menu. They have some tasty looking quiches (featuring goat cheese, no less) that I'd like to try next time; and, of course, I look forward to immersing myself in more empanada goodness.

Perimeter Institute will host an international conference from July 18-21, 2006, in honour of Abner Shimony, one of the most eminent physicist-philosophers of our time. Professor Shimony is renowned for his contribution to the famous Bell-CHSH inequality and for many other contributions in the foundations of physics and philosophy.
Talks and discussions will cover a wide range of subjects within physics and philosophy, including theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum entanglement and non-locality, relativistic causality, quantum measurement problem, probability theory, temporal transience, the mind-body problem, and scientific realism.
Feynman was probably correct to say that the only mystery of quantum mechanics is the principle of superposition. Although we may never know which slit a photon has been passing in a Youngs double-slit experiment, we do have a corresponding classical concept in classical electromagnetic theory: the superposition of electromagnetic fields at a local space-time point is a solution of the Maxwell equations.
According to a widely accepted view, the emergence of macroscopic behavior is related to the loss of quantum mechanical coherence. Opinions on the possible cause of this loss diverge. In the present talk it will be shown how a small, assessable amount of indeterminacy in the structure of space-time may lead to the emergence of macroscopic behavior, in agreement with empirical evidence.
After giving an introduction to the Continuous Spontaneous Localization
(CSL) theory of dynamical wave function collapse, I shall discuss 10 problems of dynamical collapse models, 5 of which were resolved by CSL's advent, and 5 of which have been subsequently attacked with varying success.
If one is worried by the quantum measurement problem,a natural question to ask is: Does the quantum-mechanical description of the world retain its validity when its application leads to superpositions of states which by some reasonable criterion are _macroscopically distinct_? Or rather, does any such superposition automatically get "collapsed", even in the absence of "measurement" by a human observer, into one or other of its branches? Scenarios which predict the latter (for example the GRWP theory) may be denoted generically by the term "macrorealistic".
The way we combine operators in quantum theory depends on the causal relationship involved. For spacelike separated spacetime regions we use the tensor product. For immediately sequential regions of spacetime we use the direct product. In the latter case we lose information that is we cannot go from the direct product of two operators to the two original operators. This is a kind of compression. We will see that such compression is associated with causal adjacency.
Once again the problem of indistinguishability has been recently tackled. The question is why indistinguishability, in quantum mechanics but not in classical one, forces a changes in statistics. Or, what is able to explain the difference between classical and quantum statistics? The answer given regards the structure of their state
Taking for granted that the mathematical apparatus for describing probabilities in quantum mechanics is well-understood via work of von Neumann, Lüders, Mackey, and Gleason, we present an overview of different interpretations of probability in quantum mechanics bearing on physics and experiment, with the aim of clarifying the meaning and place of so-called objective interpretations of quantum probability.
It is often suggested that the special theory of relativity is incompatible with any notion of the passage of time. I shall try to show, following in the footsteps of Abner Shimony, that there is transience to be found in Minkowski spacetime, but this transience is local rather than global.

Singapore and UNDP establish Global Centre for innovation and research in public serviceSep 25, 2012
New York – The Government of Singapore and the United Nations Development Programme signed an agreement today establishing a Global Centre for Public Service Excellence in Singapore dedicated to policy research and the global exchange of knowledge and information on public service policies, strategies and institutions.
UNDP Administrator, Helen Clark, and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Law of Singapore, H.E. K Shanmugam, were the signatories.
The Global Centre will be operational by the end of 2012. The new office premises at Heng Mui Keng Terrace near the National University of Singapore have been handed over by the Government to UNDP and an Interim Director has been designated for the Centre.
Designed as a collaboration between UNDP and the Government of Singapore, the Global Centre will strengthen the capacities of developing countries to improve efficiency in public services and enable sustainable socio-economic development.
"Strong and responsive public services have a profound effect on the opportunities and quality of life of all people," said Helen Clark. "Our aim with this new Global Centre for Public Service Excellence is to create a place where the best thinking on public service policies, strategies and institutional innovation can be consolidated and shared with senior policy makers around the world".
The Global Centre will function as a research centre that analyses and disseminates the latest information and practices from think-tanks, universities and policy makers in Singapore and other countries in the area of public services. Its research and policy papers will also seek to inform civil servants across the region and beyond on the state of play and the long-term implications of efficient public services that meet the needs of citizens.
The Global Centre will also serve as a convener that promotes South-South collaboration and brings together diverse stakeholders and ideas on public service capacity for sustainable development.
"The Global Centre marks a new chapter to Singapore's long history of cooperation with the UNDP. Singapore is pleased to partner UNDP for this project, and we hope that the Global Centre will serve as a useful platform for the sharing of Singapore's development experience and best practices in public service with other countries", said Mr. K Shanmugam.
### ### ###
UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in 177 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.Contact information

The people who live near our pipelines and facilities, and are served by our gas distribution systems, expect us to operate safely. The protection of the public and the environment is our highest priority. At the same time, our neighbors have an important role to play in the safety of our systems.
Keeping you safe and informed
We communicate regularly with our neighbors—so that they're aware of the work we're doing, and know how to stay safe around our pipelines, gas distribution systems and facilities.
Whenever we plan a new project, we work with landowners, Aboriginal and Native American communities, our neighbors, environmental groups and regulators to plan pipeline routes that minimize environmental impact and land disturbance.
Through Enbridge's robust Public Awareness program, we regularly provide pipeline safety information to the people who live and work along our pipeline routes, as well as public officials, emergency responders, school officials, farmers and excavators.
We also work with local first responders to build safety in the communities near our pipelines and facilities.
Safe Community
Enbridge's Safe Community program awards grants to local first-response emergency services, including firefighters and rescue services, Emergency Medical Services, and ambulance organizations, in North American communities near our pipelines and facilities.
Launched in 2002 in the United States, and 2009 in Canada, the Safe Community program has helped support everything from professional training and educational programs, to new firehoses, to "Jaws of Life" extrication tools for fire departments, to automated external defibrillators—even major financial support of air ambulance services.SAFE COMMUNITY IN ACTION
Since 2002, we've providedUS$12.5M
(or C$15.7 million) in grants and donations through our Safe Community program to first response agencies across North America, including US$1.8 million (C$2.3 million) in 2019 through 350 grants to community first response agencies.
Putting first responders first
We are committed to providing community emergency responders with the information, tools and training they need to protect people and property along our pipeline rights-of-way.
We make sure emergency responders:
- Know where the pipelines are located and who operates those pipelines;
- Are aware of how to recognize a possible pipeline emergency and how to respond;
- Know what Enbridge does to prepare for emergencies.
Emergency Responder Education Program
Enbridge's Emergency Responder Education Program gives emergency responders and 9-1-1 call center personnel unlimited access to free, online training designed to help them respond safely and effectively to any pipeline emergency.
We developed the online training in collaboration with, and based on, a program created by the U.S. National Association of State Fire Marshals, and we've made it available free of charge to more than 8,000 emergency response organizations across North America. Since the creation of the program, about 3,200 emergency responders and officials, Enbridge employees and other interested parties in the U.S. and Canada have completed EREP training.
Keeping in touch
We meet regularly with first responders in communities near our pipelines and facilities—including police, fire, and EMS—to share Enbridge's emergency response procedures, and identify the roles and responsibilities of external responders who would support Enbridge in the event of an incident.
Our Canadian Emergency Response Ambassadors make regular visits to municipal officials, first responders and 9-1-1 dispatchers near our crude oil and liquids pipelines, informing them about our online training and our Safe Community program.
Coffee Talks in your neighborhood
As part of our community engagement, especially during pipeline construction, we regularly host open houses to keep communities informed about Enbridge in their area. It's a great opportunity for the public to ask questions, get the information they need and learn more about Enbridge's approach to safety and being a good neighbor.
Building strong relationships
Enbridge launched the Emergency Response Ambassador initiative in 2013 as part of our U.S. Public Awareness program.
Our employee ambassadors have built meaningful relationships with U.S. emergency responders near our pipelines and facilities—arranging presentations, facility tours, and tabletop exercises. To date, we've trained more than 200 employee ambassadors as part of the program.LEARN MORE
Responding to an emergency
We hope we never have to respond to a pipeline leak. But if we do, we're ready.
Prevention is a critical component of pipeline safety, and we focus on prevention at Enbridge before issues arise. While our ultimate goal is to prevent all spills and releases, we're also committed, as a responsible pipeline operator, to providing a comprehensive incident response at any point along our pipeline network.
Enbridge maintains strong emergency preparedness and response systems that we regularly test and continuously improve alongside local first responders, emergency management officials, and law enforcement.
Clink on the link below to watch video of a full-scale emergency response exercise that we staged in September 2019 in Wisconsin Rapids, WI.
Taking responsibility
We take every incident seriously, responding vigorously and cleaning up environmental impacts. We assume full responsibility, with the goal of safely and efficiently returning the affected area back to its pre-incident condition or as close as possible.
Throughout the process we work with regulators, environmental experts and our neighbors in the community to ensure the rehabilitation meets their expectations.
Since 2012, we've spentUS$60M
on training and response equipment, ranging from booms to boats, which has been deployed across throughout North America along our systems.
The Enbridge Enterprise Emergency Response team (E3RT)
In 2011, Enbridge created a cross-company team with specialized training. The E3RT regularly conducts major training exercises involving emergency response contractors and consultants, as well as emergency response agencies at the local, state/provincial, and federal levels—and is trained and ready to quickly respond to large-scale events anywhere Enbridge operates in North America. The 120 employees who make up the E3RT hold annual training sessions to brush up on their emergency response skills.
In 2018, our emergency response teams actively participated in315
drills, exercises and equipment deployments, working alongside first response agencies to test and practice on our emergency response plans.
Regional emergency plans
We have tailored and detailed emergency response plans, region by region, that govern our response for all types of situations.
These plans consider all the factors that influence the behavior and potential impact of a release—including drinking water, flow of running water, air emissions, wildlife and animal livestock, and shoreline impacts.
Safe digging: Know what's below
Preventing third-party damage.
Third-party damage is one of the leading causes of pipeline leaks. We're committed to communicating with our neighbors and customers about our systems, projects and operations, to make sure landowners, community members and first responders know how to stay safe – and avoid accidentally damaging – our facilities, pipelines and distribution systems.
Call Before You Dig Programs
Throughout North America buried utilities to deliver important services we all rely on such as electricity, water, cable and data, as well as oil and gas transportation and distribution. To protect public safety and the systems that deliver these key services, Call-Before-You-Dig programs exist across Canada and the United States for anyone planning an excavation for construction work or landscaping activities like planting trees, digging a new garden or building fences and decks.
Before you dig . . .
Call 2 to 3 working days before you start any excavation so that a locator can come out and mark underground utilities for you free of charge.
How you can help
If an incident occurs, your quick action could save lives—and help protect your home or your community.
- Know how to recognize a potential pipeline leak;
- Know what to do, and what not to do, in the case of a potential pipeline emergency;
- Make sure you and those around you are safe. Call 9-1-1, and then Enbridge's 24-hour emergency hotline in your area.

Staying safe, beating the heat
For firefighters, 21st-century technology has presented a solution for overheating while battling flames: Bunker gear. "Overheating is probably the biggest concern for firefighters when we're talking about wildland firefighting," says Kim Cannady, Regional Emergency Services Coordinator for Flagstaff County in northern Alberta. In spring 2018, a Safe Community grant from Enbridge allowed for the purchase of a dozen sets of bunker gear for the Galahad and Strome Fire Departments within Flagstaff County.READ STORY

I just got Pinterest.
I've been hearing about it for awhile, but it took me this long to actually get around to getting invited and playing around with it. But now I have and I get it. I totally totally get it.
Let me explain.
Pinterest isn't just a hot thing in social media. It isn't just a pinboard to express yourself. It is a useful tool for promotion. And yes, I know that Pinterest asks users to avoid self-promotion, but I think there is a way for people to pin AND promote without turning the community into a can of spam, much the same way that there are good marketing practices for the use of Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media tool (be authentic, share valuable content, diversify, etc).
Why is Pinterest So Popular?
It's VISUAL and SO EASY to use. It is a natural fit for the internet because it capitalizes on things that are already popular–funny animals, kids and babies, unique or interesting crafts, art, decorating, and recipes. There are hundreds of user groups and internet forums and YouTube channels and email chains dedicated to these things. Pinterest just makes it easy to share and store images you like, in a visually attractive way, with virtually no effort at all.
How Can Pinterest Help Your Business?
I don't know why the SEO community isn't freaking out more about Pinterest. It's basically hotlinking 2.0. Actually, I don't even know if it's hotlinking 2.0. Pinterest is just hotlinking.
What does this mean? It means that every time somebody Re-pins something that you have pinned from your own site, it LINKS to your site, because the image is actually HOSTED on your site. If you click through images put on Pinterest, you end up on the page where they are hosted.
I pinned images on my blog that I thought others might find useful and shareable. And you should too, especially if you own a small business that is graphical in any way, shape or form. Photographers, designers, artists, crafters, bakers, and chefs…PIN YOUR WORK! (concerned about copyright? see below)
Pinterest is great for other businesses too. Does your company make attractive infographics? Pin them. Publish an ebook? Pin the cover so people can how that they like your book, with a description and a link to your website, reviews, reasons to read, place to purchase, whatever you want. You can even create really unique or inspiring images with the purpose of showcasing your stuff and driving traffic to your site. Pinterest is like an unlimited advertising board for absolutely everything.
But please keep it pretty. Or useful. Or funny. Don' t just pin junk. Value is key here!
Also remember this: if the site where your images are hosted has limited bandwidth, you may experience problems from people hotlinking that may cost you. But this is a good problem to have as it essentially means that your image advertising is working and your images are "going viral."
Wait. What About Copyright Infringement?
SO GLAD you asked.
Pinterest IS having difficulty around the issue of copyright infringement. Technically, you aren't allowed to use images created by others unless you pay for them or get permission. Of course, people break this rule on the internet all the time because they don't know about it, especially bloggers, but Pinterest's business is built around the sharing of pictures that technically don't belong to them…so copyright could impact them (and their users–i.e. YOU) the same way Napster got slammed for peddling music it didn't own (thanks for the insight, Visible Technologies–ye providers of social monitoring software).
You don't have to worry as long as you are only pinning images you have the rights to. Since you shouldn't be uploading images to your blog or website that you don't have permission to use, this shouldn't be an issue. All of the pictures I pinned from my blog are either free (from Microsoft's free image library. Thanks, Microsoft!) or were pictures I made, photographed with my phone, or had commissioned. And you know what? PLEASE SHARE THEM. Yes. I want you to repin my work. You have my blessing.
As for pinning images from other people's sites (which is most of Pinterest)…be careful. Right now, the onus is on you not to abuse copyright, but here is what I think should happen:
Artists, graphic designers, bakers, photographers, etc. should upload/make available versions of their images that are "cleared" for pinning to Pinterest. This could be done with a caption or a logo (Pinterest approved! Please make a universal one, Pinterest!) or watermark. If Pinterest was really ambitious, they could offer an "auto watermark" feature that essentially takes care of this for everybody. This is similar to what istockphoto does with thumbnails, to distinguish advertising of art from the actual art. That way everyone can admire and browse through pictures without being able to use the originals for anything else without purchasing them. Net result? Exposure for artists.
For this to work, Pinterest needs to make "Re-Pins" free from legal issues. Pinterest would have to put the onus on uploaders and adders while those who just share can do so without penalty (like YouTube does with videos). That way, I can keep my Social Media Infographics board (and other boards) intact without abusing anyone's creative design.
If Pinterest DOESN'T find a way to make repinning okay, I predict a mass exodus from Pinterest (myself included) as people become informed of the risks. I'm willing to give it a little time, though, since the concern is new (please don't sue me!).

tcpip.sys Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL blue screen error
I just bought an Asus A43SA less than a week ago. Today, I suddenly started getting BSODs today, and it became pretty frequent. The BSOD had something to do with tcpip.sys Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL , with my limited understanding from reading the Microsoft website, it seems to be related to drivers or something about using broadband usb and the laptop going into hibernating mode??
I am using a usb broadband modem and I did go into hibernating mode often, which means the internet connection got cut while in hibernation and automatically kick in when I start the laptop and the usb modem is detected. Not sure if this is the cause, but I am just stating this just in case it's relevant.
Other information that may be relevant:
The only driver installation I recalled doing today was the Windows update.
I did a system restore to before the Windows update ran, still the same BSOD
I used Advanced Care System 5 from IoBit and I just noticed today that the program just closes itself when half-way scanning though malware. It only happens when I scan for malwares, scanning registry keys and other stuff worked. I deleted it and re-installed, but same thing, so I deleted it again.
I accidentally used CCleaner to clean my registry this morning and realised that it was a bad idea, so I restored the backup.
I have IoBit Malware fighter, Microsoft Security Essential, Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security, I previously installed Super AdBlocker but deleted it 2 days ago.
SFC scan showed that there's corrupted files but couldn't fix it, I tried opening cbs log but I kept getting "access denied"
link to dump file
link to cbs log
For the BSOD issue, we need to analyze the kernal dump file, this is beyond our ability in the forum. I suggest you contact Microsoft Customer Service: http://support.microsoft.com
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

The Stop 0x000000D1 (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high. This bug check is usually caused by drivers that have used improper addresses.
According to the dump files you've uploaded, the faulting module was wanarp.sys, the Microsoft Remote Access and Routing ARP Driver.
Firt of all, I suggest you to try disabling all of your antivirus/antispyware programs except for one (you can choose which one): only one such a program must be active at any time in the system.
You could also try updating your network card driver to see if this problem persists or disappears.
Luigi Bruno - Microsoft Community Contributor 2011 Award
Hmm.....is there no way to know what is using the wanarp.sys or a way to fix it??
I disabled the anti-virus programs as only left Microsoft Security Essential running. I just remembered that I installed Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security few hours before BSOD started. Could it be the culprit? It came with the laptop and had a one year key, so I thought it wouldn't be any harm activating it.
I updated my network card drive Atheros AR9002WB-1NG wireless network adapter, after the BSOD started, it didn't help, I still get BSOD.
I will report back again to see if the BSOD presists after deactivating Trend Micro Titanium INternet Security and IoBit Malware fighter, only leaving Microsoft Security Essentials running.

Something turned up. I've been surfing so far (around 30minutes?) without BSODs, I hope it means the BSOD is gone. But for some reason, my anti-malware programs are having issues now?? As I mentioned earlier, Advanced System Care 5 closes during scans for malwares, I just tried scanning with the free version of Malwarebytes. It also closes during the scan.
Does that mean my laptop is infected??
Also Microsoft Security Essential/client, would close down too suddenly, and I noticed in the event viewer
"Session "Microsoft Security Client OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D"
EDIT: I ran microsoft security and iobi malware fighter to scan my computer while I was surfing this forum. Clicked a title and the BSOD appeared >.<

Neck Pain Treatment near Manly
The Whole Body Clinic offer treatment for neck pain, strain & injury to patients throughout Brisbane including Manly and surrounds.
At The Whole Body Clinic, we know that neck pain can be debilitating and we know how to get back on track. Some common neck conditions we can assist with are:
Disc Injury
In your spine, you have bony vertebrae and spongy discs. These discs are designed to absorb shock and protect your vertebrae from any compression. Sometimes the discs strong outer covering can become weakened and cause pain. This would present as mild and localized pain. If the damage to the disc becomes worse, then the internal components pushing out near the nerve and may compress it. This will result in severe pain with pain referral into different parts of the leg and may cause weakness in various muscles. At The Whole Body Clinic, we can assist the body to heal these damaged tissues, improve stability and strength through the damaged region with a personalized rehabilitation program and decrease your pain short term and long term.
Facet Joint Sprains
Your facet joints are small joints on the back part of your vertebrae. They allow many different movements in your spine. Sometimes these joints can become irritated if they are stretched or compressed for long periods of time. This results in restriction of movement and pain which worsens with particular movements and prolonged sitting or standing.
Osteopathy can be very effective at treating and managing neck pain. Whatever the cause of the pain, the soft tissue techniques used will help to reduce muscle tension, pain, and improve circulation to the affected tissues. This will be combined with gentle joint manipulation and articulation techniques to help increase joint range of movement and as needed electrotherapy or dry needling. Personalised eduction and rehabilitation will help you manage pain and injury in the short and long term.
The Whole Body Clinic can assist with all of your neck pain symptoms. To see how, please click on our Services.

I am amazing at pingpong—just ask me. As a kid, I was the undisputed champion of the Levin driveway, and in adulthood I've kept up my skills in bars and basements. Then, last year, I took custody of my former colleague Chris Beam's table when he moved to the Far East. As Beam suffered a series of humiliating defeats to Chinese children, I stayed in Washington, D.C., and refined my backhand slice and forehand slam. My game has never been sharper. In my backyard shed, I am unbeatable.
But my backyard shed is … a shed, in my backyard. The best players in the world do not return serves on a sloping concrete floor while surrounded by shovels and an enormous paper bag full of large sticks. Pingpong as I play it and world-class table tennis are different games. If you charted the paddle prowess of every player in the world, you'd get a bimodal distribution—a graph with two discrete peaks. In the first hump are hobbyists like me, members of the driveway and shed circuit. In the second hump are those remarkable humans who treat table tennis as a profession. Hump 1 and Hump 2 are completely segregated: Hobbyists play other hobbyists and pros play other pros. To learn how good I really am, I must make the leap into the hump of the elites. That's why I'm heading to the Chicago International Table Tennis Festival. My mission: win a point off an Olympic hero.
Ariel Hsing is the greatest athlete in history who was named after the Little Mermaid. The 16-year-old Californian came into her first Olympics as the world's 115th-ranked player—an unproven kid from a table tennis backwater. But Hsing knocked off her first two opponents, earning a matchup with eventual gold medalist Li Xiaoxia in the round of 32. An underdog on the level of Angola against the 1992 Dream Team, Hsing nearly pulled off the Miracle on High-Density Fiberboard. The American high schooler and the Chinese champ split the first four games of their best-of-seven match before Li eked out the last two 11-8, 11-9—just barely surviving what would be her sternest test of the tournament. Though Hsing didn't win a medal, the game's best had to take notice: The girl in the pink barrettes can play.
In the aftermath of the London Games, Hsing—now up to 73rd in the rankings—has attained an unprecedented level of stardom for an American table tennis player. She appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and gained notice for her unlikely friendships with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. But Hsing is still more table tennis famous than famous famous—her 397 Twitter followers are just a few short of Ryan Lochte's 1,000,000.
When we meet in Chicago, Hsing is charmingly guileless, amazed that she has even 397 fans. "I came back to my school, and like … everyone knew," she says, expressing surprise that her classmates had seen the Olympics. Among the perks of her great showing: getting face time with her hero, world No. 1 Ding Ning. "I'm just like, Oh my God, I feel really comfortable with my idol," Hsing says. "She's been so nice and friendly, so I guess she's my friend, which is really cool." Most startling of all for the teenager, whose mother is Chinese and whose father was born in Taiwan, was the reception she got at a post-Olympic tournament in China. The volunteers "were so excited to see me and helped me pick up balls," she says. This is table tennis stardom: You no longer have to pick up your own balls.
Hsing first picked up a paddle at age 7. By the time she was 8, as the video below shows, she could smack forehands and backhands with machine-line precision.
This is what an Olympian-to-be looks like. And, terrifyingly, this was four years before, in her words, she got "serious" about the game. When she was around 12, she started focusing on her craft. To help her along, Hsing's parents ripped up their yard to build a table tennis room. "We had a really nice backyard," she says. "Now it's a small backyard with a little fountain."
Hsing has devoted her life—hour after hour, six days a week—to commanding a tiny, hollow ball. Given my regimen of 20 minutes every once in a while, I have the skills I deserve, ones that will destroy 99 percent of non-Olympians while leaving me miles away from the YouTube marvels who make shots like this.
Yes, the elite hump is a scary place. But winning a point—just one point—in a pingpong match seems more attainable than scoring on LeBron James or outrunning Usain Bolt. It's not just that I'm better at pingpong than basketball or sprinting. It's that table tennis stars aren't menacing specimens. Hsing tells me she's "more buff and fatter" than her female opponents, which allows her to strike the ball with superior force. But she stands just 5-foot-5 and weighs 110 pounds—buff for a 16-year-old table tennis player, maybe, but not exactly Serena Williams. This gangly, 6-foot-5 nerd is not intimidated.
I've also played enough pingpong to know that luck is built in to the game, that the 9-foot-by-5-foot playing surface invites shots that catch an edge or trickle over the net. My plan—which, as a tactical genius, I decide to share with my opponent—is to swing as hard as I can. "It's a good strategy," Hsing says. She's run up against this technique at Berkshire-Hathaway shareholder meetings, where Warren Buffett (aka "Uncle Warren") has invited all comers to play three-point games against the teenage marvel. "If someone swings wildly, then they can get like one or two in," she says. Just one or two, though—Hsing says she's never lost one of those three-point games.
After getting some practice by routing a guy from the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, I'm ready to switch over to the elite hump. As we prepare to hit, I ask Hsing to articulate the difference between pingpong and table tennis. "Physically, the No. 1 thing is that in table tennis you have to move with your legs," she says. "You play pingpong with your hands and table tennis with your legs." OK, maybe it was a mistake to wear jeans. I then show her the paddle I've brought from home, the one I've used since high school—a piece of equipment, I'm now realizing, that's older than she is. "You should change your rubber," she says, eyeing the worn-out surface. It has never occurred to me to change my rubber.
And then we start to play, denim-wearing, defective-rubber-wielding amateur against pro. We warm up with some medium-tempo rallies, and I win a point when she hits a feeble backhand into the net. One of my fellow journalists taunts Hsing, telling her I haven't even brought out my "crazy spin slam." She responds by smashing a forehand, yelling "crazy spin slam!" as the ball whizzes past me. Unbowed, on the next point I slam one that she returns long. "Pretty good," she says cheerfully. "You can tell that you, like, play."
Faint praise in hand, our game to 11 begins. I serve first, and she bends her knees in anticipation, holding her paddle with a shakehand grip. While some pros stand far back from the table and take long, looping strokes that create massive spin, Hsing prefers to move in close, a style that takes advantage of her power and quickness. But she still generates spin. A lot of spin, the kind of spin I've never seen before. I hit it deep to her backhand, and she flicks back a topspin drive that hits my paddle before I can ponder my next move. My return flies off the table and Hsing catches it with her left hand. Hsing 1, Levin 0.
Next, I try a short serve to her forehand. She hits it to my backhand again, and this time I get the ball back, a small victory that loses its luster when she slams the popped-up return into my gut. Hsing 2, Levin 0.
Now it's her serve. She bends down low, holds the orange ball next to her eye, tosses it high into the air, and cracks a low skidder to my backhand. I make contact, and the ball floats back, just barely missing the side of the table. "That was really close to hitting the edge," she says. I groan. Hsing 3, Levin 0.
Her next serve is deep and to the middle of the table. This time, I hit a good, low return and she slices it back to my forehand. I take a big, windmilling stroke, swinging my right arm as fast as I can. The ball nestles into the net. Also, I almost fall over. Hsing 4, Levin 0.
It goes on like this: I serve, she returns, I pop it into the air or hit it long. She serves, I dribble it into the net.
At 10-0, she asks, "Can I beat you 11-0?" I tell her to go ahead—I don't want a point out of pity. She serves deep to my backhand corner and I bunt it back short. She slices a return and I rip the down-the-line backhand that's won me so many points in the shed. She lunges for it and her forehand floats just off the back of the table. Hsing 10, Levin 1. Victory is mine!
A moment later, I smash it into the net again and it's all over—11-1. From start to finish, it took 96 seconds.
I ask for a rematch, and this time it's not as close. 1-0 on an unreturnable serve. 2-0 when she slams it past me. 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, 6-0, 7-0, 8-0, 9-0, 10-0, 11-0. After my last shot sails long, she raises her arms in mock triumph.
Did I really deserve that one point, or did she set me up? Was she really trying her hardest? As I puzzle over how much to pat myself on the back, I watch Hsing take on the next wave of challengers. Now that I have more distance from the table, I can see her calibrating her game, playing up or down to the competition. Ariel Hsing and I are a lot alike—this is exactly what I do against lesser opponents, doing just enough to win comfortably but not so well that they feel humiliated. Against players who can't rally consistently, she takes a bit off her serve and nudges the ball back instead of jabbing at it with a quick stroke. She tells them they're "pretty good." And then, unable to resist, she swings, connects, and sends the ball ricocheting off the table and down the hallway, leaving her victim to give chase as it skitters across the carpet.

Mathematical proof is essentially a series of completely trivial observations wrapped in complicated-sounding notation (not complicated on purpose hopefully). The trick is not to understand the proof once it is written, but to notice those trivial observations to write a proof in the first place. I think this is what's sometimes discouraging people from research mathematics. You work for two weeks on something that feels like a very hard problem, and then the solution seems trivial once found. In my case there are two operations and a limit involved. And the things you are trying to bound are not continuous with respect to that limit, so you flail around trying to do all sorts of complicated schemes. Then last night I think … hey why not do these two operations in reverse. I get rid of the limit and the problem becomes almost trivial after a bit of linear algebra. It feels good. But on the other hand it feels like: Why didn't I think of this two weeks ago.

A Colorful Garden Walk Through Buffalo [PICTURES]
Some people seem to think that Buffalo is a place on the map that is under one big, dark, gloomy cloud. Others see Buffalo as being a bright, vibrant, creative city. A perfect example of the latter is the Garden Walk of Buffalo, being held this weekend. The self-guided tour includes more than 370 Buffalo gardens.
The Garden Walk of Buffalo is one of the largest garden walks in the country. Those in attendance go to the West Side of Buffalo to pick up a map and begin their journey around several communitites in Buffalo, including the Elmwood Village, Allentown, Symphony Circle and Kleinhans Community and the Historic West Village. Check out some of the photos from the Garden Walk of Buffalo in the gallery below!

The weather for the past week in Chicago has been fantastic. From Friday to
Friday, no rain, no humidity and lots of sun. On Saturday, July 3rd, it seemed
the weather gods had focused their fury on Chicago with a storm front that
seemed to cover several states:
At Wrigley Field, the game was called after 5 1/2 innings and four rain
delays. Down at Taste, we were worried if the crowds would come and if the
fireworks would go on as scheduled. Well, Eli's Cheesecake fans never take rain
delays; it did rain several times but the people coninued to buy, and about 8pm,
it turned just beautiful in Grant Park so the program of the evening went on as
scheduled. Our thanks to our fans for coming out in the rain:
Taste has more day ending for 2004 at 9:30pm tonight. Then we can go to work
on the 25th.

Amberley Communications offers five services directly:
Editing | Writing | Online content management | Indexing | Coaching
If your project requires additional services, such as web development, assessment of your online presence, print design, photography, book promotion, or ebook formatting, I can collaborate with colleagues in my network to assemble a package of services that meets your needs.
Sometimes editing is simply a matter of enjoying the author's voice while correcting the occasional error. And sometimes it's a work of condensation or translation—or even transformation.
An effective editor knows which kind of editing is required for each project. The goal is always to preserve the writer's voice while making the message clear and accessible to the audience.
I've edited many books for academic publishers and religious presses, and I edit the book reviews for the Christian Century. Other clients have included City Colleges of Chicago and the Environmental Law Institute. Recently much of my editing has been for authors whose first language is not English.
"Meg Cox performed magical feats of wonder with the manuscript, . . . spinning straw into something approaching gold." —Edward J. McCaffery, author of Fair Not Flat: How to Make the Tax System Better and Simpler (University of Chicago Press)
"I've found Meg Cox to be among the finest editors with whom I've ever worked. She has a meticulous care for words that lets me trust, as a writer, that she won't let my work go until it's the best it can be. . . . I get the credit, and she did the work." —Jason Byassee, senior pastor at Boone United Methodist Church and contributing editor for the Christian Century
Having spent so much time on the editor's side of the desk, I know how much editors appreciate clean copy, delivered on time. And when the client has no editor on staff, clean, on-target copy is all the more important.
My written work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Sojourners, Prism magazine, and other print publications; I have been a regular contributor to the GiftWorks fundraising blog and the Christian Century's Theolog; I've written curriculum and successful grant proposals; and I managed and wrote for the online newsletter of the Christian Community Development Association. In the years after the 2004 presidential election, I wrote a series of articles on voting rights for several magazines. One of those articles was included in two anthologies: a high school text published by Gale, and a college-level Norton anthology of writings on politics.
I'm now writing for my own business blog, Freelance Feast, and guest blogging for others in the publishing and online marketing industries.
"Meg Cox is thorough, sharp-minded, articulate, and passionate—and respects word counts and deadlines! What more can an editor ask for?"
—Kristyn Komarnicki, editor of Prism magazine
Online content management
Creative, collaborative, and missional. These were the qualities I was seeking in my professional life when I landed in my first online content management role. A software company serving nonprofits had just doubled the frequency of its e-news and needed to accelerate the pace of blog postings to have enough material to populate the newsletter. I was brought on as a contractor to edit blog posts, and soon I was planning blog content, recruiting writers, editing articles by staff and outside contributors, and writing content myself, as well as managing the company's Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Online content management is the growing edge of my business. While continuing to serve clients in the publishing industry, I'm educating myself about inbound marketing and taking on occasional content writing and editing projects—most recently for a web developer and an academic department at a major university.
"When I was CEO of a midsize software company, Meg managed its blog and social media activity. She was proactive about generating and pursuing ideas for blog content, and she understood the style and voice I was looking for. I could trust her to take the ball and run with it." —Mary Pat Donnellon, vice president of marketing at Blackbaud
Book indexing
Remember web surfing before Google? It was worse than playing 52-pickup with a library's worth of catalog cards. I feel the same way when I search on my Kindle.
A well-written index is to a book what Google is to the internet. Even better, because a book is a finite world, and a good index is a map of the whole thing.
Subversive copy editor Carol Saller writes this about professional indexers: "Many writers who specialize in difficult topics fear that an indexer won't have sufficient grasp of their material. Good indexers, however, are weirdly able to transcend this difficulty. A nonspecialist indexer can often produce a better index than a brilliant writer who never really understands how to index." I'd like to think that I'm as "weirdly able" as the best of them.
"The production editor said the index was one of the best she's ever seen!"
—Rudiger Seesemann, author of The Divine Flood: Ibrahim Niasse and the Roots of a Twentieth-Century Sufi Revival (Oxford University Press)
"I think you've done a wonderful job of capturing the important points of the book, and will provide my readers with an excellent resource." —Jessica Pierce, author of The Last Walk: Reflections on Our Pets at the End of Their Lives (University of Chicago Press)
Freelance business coaching
One week in late 2011, I was expecting work from seven clients. Seven. But because of a variety of delays on the clients' end, for a whole week I had no work in the house. I hardly knew what to do with myself.
I told colleagues about my quandary, and they said, "That's how it is. Freelancer's feast or famine."
"No," I told them. "This has never happened to me. In thirteen years of freelancing, I've never gone without work in the house."
They were surprised. They told me that my thirteen-year run was very unusual, and I knew they were right.
That week I finally settled on the direction for the business blog I'd been meaning to start. The blog would be called Freelance Feast. Through it and through freelance business coaching, I would help others to earn a living independently just as generous colleagues had helped me.
"During the years that Meg Cox worked at the Writers WorkSpace, I was continually impressed by the depth of her talents. She has a sound head for business coupled with strategic and visionary-level thinking. Her ability to generate new and successful ideas quickly inspired many of us, and we came to rely on her as wise counsel for business and creative projects alike."
—Amy Davis, cofounder and director, The Writers WorkSpace

Last week, I was surprised to discover that - in addition to such horror hits of the early 1960s as KONGA, REPTILICUS and BRIDES OF DRACULA - Roger Vadim's BLOOD AND ROSES had been the subject of a movie tie-in novelization.
Such a venture seems a bit redundant, as BLOOD AND ROSES was at least theoretically based on J. Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 novella CARMILLA, which might just as easily have been printed between these soft covers. Instead, the job of translating Vadim and Roger Vailland's screenplay* into prose fell to someone credited as Robin Carlisle. The name might well be a pseudonym, as no other publishing credits could be located for this writer. Their work, certainly for hire, was copyrighted in 1960 by Paramount Pictures Corporation and published by Hillman Books, a subsidiary of Hillman Periodicals Inc. that same year, several months to a full year before the release of the film in North America. The only personal note left by the author is his/her dedication "To R.M., who knows why." (*Newspaper reports from January 1960 credit Peter Viertel as a contributor to the screenplay.)
One thing known to collectors of movie novelizations is that - because they require a certain amount of lead time to write, and are generally undertaken before the film in question has arrived at a final cut - such books habitually contain scenes, dialogue, even entire characters nowhere to be found in the movies they are associated with.
When I first learned of this book's existence, my first reaction was to bring it to the attention of John-Paul Checkett, whose two-part coverage of Le Fanu's CARMILLA and its many film adaptations (including BLOOD AND ROSES) appears in VIDEO WATCHDOG 183 and the forthcoming 184. I thought he would find its redundancy amusing. Then it struck me that there was something potentially far more attractive about the book than mere irony. For the past 56 years, there has been a mystery associated with this film that its novelization - I realized - stood a good chance of clearing up.
Said mystery concerns the above photograph, which was part of Paramount's original promotional stills set for the picture. It pictures some kind of amorphous blob with eyes creeping up the night dress of a brunette, who could only be Georgia, the secondary female lead played in the picture by Elsa Martinelli. However, no such scene appears in the film.
I've long felt that such a bizarre image could only belong in the film's delirious dream sequence, which occurs quite late in the film. The sequence plays a bit choppily in the both the European cut (available on German DVD as ... Und vor Lust zu Sterben, which I covered at some length in VIDEO WATCHDOG # 177) and the substantially different US cut - which, surprisingly for an American studio release of 1960 forbidden to no particular age group, contains some female nudity.
I promptly ordered one of the few affordable copies of the paperback left at abebooks.com. (I'm afraid the only copy remaining there now is going - or staying - for $75!) My purchase arrived today - and I'm delighted to report that the mystery of this image is indeed solved in Chapter Nineteen, on pages 137 and 138.
As John-Paul Checkett describes in his detailed description of Le Fanu's original tale, CARMILLA reaches a climax of illumination in a scene where the General Spielsdorf secrets himself inside the bedroom of his niece Bertha to determine the secret cause of the lethargy that has beset her since the arrival of their house guest, Millarca. There he witnesses Millarca (who is, in fact, the vampiric Carmilla Karnstein) steal inside his niece's bed chamber, where to his astonishment she metamorphoses into a cat, creeping up Bertha's nightclothes to feed upon her life's blood. The monster we see in this production photograph - which looks to me like an early work of Carlo Rambaldi, quite possible as Vadim's film was produced in Italy - serves as a Lovecraftian metaphor of this cat and, indeed, the evil essence of the vampiric ancestor Mircalla Karnstein that is possessing Carmilla.
In Vadim's film as it presentlystands, Georgia rouses from her lethargy to discover Carmilla (Annette Stroyberg Vadim) standing at the foot of her bed as the film itself drains of all color. Color, in the form of red blood, then begins to seep from Carmilla's monochromatic form, from both her throat and her heart. The blood assumes an unseen living form that Georgia touches, transporting her into the surreal dream that embodies the film's climax. The dream itself is in black-and-white with only red objects represented in color - like the surgical gloves in the operating theater scene where a topless female patient is spread-eagled on a table, her identity obscured by a towel. The novelization makes sense of this mystery, as well.
In the book, Carmilla waits for the men in the villa to slumber until she goes to Georgia's room. When Georgia rouses from her languors, it is not the image of Carmilla that she sees at the foot of her bed.
Here is the relevant text from the novelization by Robin Carlisle:
Georgia wakened with a violent start. The daze that had engulfed her all that day in bed was completely gone, and her mind felt crystal-clear and alert. Pervading her, however, was a sharp sensation of fear. She could not imagine what caused it, but she had the impression it was the fear that had wakened her so suddenly. Perhaps, also, it was the fear that had cleared her head. She lay there staring at the foot of her bed, wondering how she would sleep away the rest of the night in this funny mood.
A wide, flat, wet-skinned creature, very black in color, appeared over the bottom edge of the bed and began slowly to creep up over her feet. It watched her with two elongated eyes. Moving in waves like a snail it came on so gradually that for a long minute she took it rather calmly. Then she became aware that she could not move her feet. The monster had crawled over them – they seemed paralyzed. The odd fear she had been feeling suddenly focused on this apparition. It was as though her fear had been waiting for its arrival. She wanted desperately to cry out but the cry choked in her throat. She could not make a sound.
The monster was now up to her knees. It felt like a very warm, very heavy blanket. With an enormous effort she pulled her legs up to her chest and pressed herself up against the backboard of the bed. She felt curiously helpless and lethargic. As it came closer, she saw that it was really a dark green, not black at all.
There was a tapping at the window the distracted her for a moment. In the water outside the window she caught sight of Lisa swimming, her hair trailing about her head like seaweed. Lisa tapped at the window to get Georgia's attention. She pointed to the monster and urgently beckoned her to get out of bed.
The dark green horror was now only inches away from her.
It was almost touching her.
It touched her.
With the jolting start Georgia wrenched yourself free of its spell and fled to the window and opened it. Lisa reached her hand out of the water that flowed by across the face of the window and took Georgia by the wrist. She pulled her out through the window into the water with her. It was cool and pleasant, the water, and easy to move about in.
That is all we get of the monster. Lisa, the young girl killed earlier in the film by Carmilla, guides Georgia to the operating theater, where Carmilla appears dressed as the chief surgeon. The topless patient is meant to be Georgia, who greets Carmilla warmly. However, Carmilla denies her identity and removes her surgical mask to prove the point, revealing a face that has begun to yellow and shrivel with age.
"I killed Carmilla," she explains. "I am Millarca. You are in love with me, Georgia. I have made you in love with me, and now I will have what is mine."
The crone that was Carmilla then poises her scalpel over Georgia's neck and plunges it in, sawing away at her tender flesh as the operating theater begins to spin vertiginously in a flourish of horror. Georgia screams at the horrid yellow face, the violence of the surgery against her, and the spinning room, crying out "Darling! Darling! Darling!" - until she recovers to find herself in the arms of her fiancé, Carmilla's beloved Leopoldo.
Thus the sequence is not really a nightmare at all, as it seems in the two extant versions of the film, but rather a visual metaphor for the metaphysical transposition of souls that takes place as the Mircalla possessing Carmilla trades souls with Georgia. The lingering questions are 1) was this just a dream? and 2) is this transposition successful? If so, it would mean that when Carmilla dies in the subsequent scene by falling onto the spike of a fence in the fields, she is not Carmilla at all, but rather Georgia. It is worth mentioning that the novelization contains no final scene aboard the jet, as we get in the US release, in which a voice-over by a triumphant Mircalla informs us that she has quietly taken possession of Georgia's body.
What all this conflicting information suggests is this: at some point during the editing of BLOOD AND ROSES, Vadim must come to the conclusion that including graphic horror imagery in his film would make it more difficult to rationalize on the adult art-house circuit. I doubt this would have been Paramount's concern, though they may well have had problems with the otherwise oblique lesbian aspects of the Carmilla/Georgia relationship becoming more obvious with a declaration of love, not to mention the breast nudity of Elsa Martinelli. It is also possible that the most horrific material was only shot to appease Vadim's producers, who may have had to real intention of using it - but it cuts a bit too deeply into the meaning of the scenes in which these things appear, so it's my feeling that, when Vadim saw the material cut together, he decided that his picture would be better served by leaving certain questions unanswered, to err on the side of ambiguity.
The film premiered in Paris in September 1960 and finally opened in America one year later, in the first week of September 1961. For further reading on the subject, I direct you to my detailed review of the German import DVD in VIDEO WATCHDOG # 177.

Ok last week I posted that I saw the 40 bags in 40 days challenge when I was searching for things on Pinterest. I came across it on this blog: Little Lucy Lu . So I decided that I was going to sit down and write a list and do this challenge.
However…I didn't quite come up with 40. I only came up with 30. So I'm going to make it the 30 bags in 30 days challenge. Sure I could have come up with 40 if I wanted to include my basement in this…however it's not heated and I wasn't about to freeze my epidermis (that's a big word I learned from DC Talk back in grade 8) off so I decided to stick with just the main level of the house. That being said…I do plan on doing this challenge again in the summer time and doing 40 days of 40 garbage bags just in my basement. It needs a major garbage haul.
So just to clarify for this one. I'll be using regular size plastic grocery bags to throw/give this stuff away in. You will notice that I have some things listed a few times. I'm not cheating…..they just need to be done three days in a row if I'm ever going to make a dent in it. 🙂
So here's my list:
40 bags in 40 days – Winter 2011
1. Kitchen Hutch
2. Bathroom Closet
3. Bathroom closet
4. Little E's toybox
5. Little E's toybox
6. My dresser
7. My dresser
8. Office Space
9. Office Space
10. Office Space
11. Craft cubby
12. Little E's closet
13. Little E's dresser
14. Little E's shelves
15. Little E's Shelves
16. Little E's books
17. Little E's books
18. Kitchen cupboards
19. My closet
20. My closet
21. Back room
22. Back room
23. Books in my room
24. Books in my room
25. Hubby's sock drawer
26. Utensil drawer in Kitchen
27. Fridge
28. Headboard
29. Bench in entry way
30. Movies
I challenged all my readers out there to do this with me and to take a picture of each bag after you did it each day with a tag saying the date and what area you cleaned out. Remember all this stuff isn't necessarily for garbage…some of it can go to a thrift shop. Send your emailed photos at the end of it or even at the end of each day if you want to email@example.com and let's see how much clutter we can get rid of!!
Blessing: My son slept in his underwear for the first time last night!!! Such a proud mommy here!!

- Colours: Include at least one colour in your story. It does add depth.
- Use strong verbs and avoid adverbs: have someone striding instead of walking confidently.
- Only use repetition to emphasise.
- When you've finished the first draft, read the piece aloud. It's surprising how many 'mistakes' leap out at you when you read out loud… assuming you have any of course! You could then submit your piece to somewhere listed on Submissions – non-fiction.

"Strong words from a strange man," as The Simpsons' Kent Brockman would say. SEVENTH HEAVEN, Borzage's best-known work from the silent era. Apart from a few very early westerns, this film, STREET ANGEL and the surviving fragment of THE RIVER are the only silent Borzage I've seen. A few equally fragmentary thoughts:
Borzage's silent oeuvre, even on the basis of these few films, looks like a very significant body of work, as major as any American filmmaker's in this era. The forthcoming Fox box set should shine a light on this neglected area. Following it up with some more of Borzage's talkies would be a nice idea too. But we should be grateful for what we're getting: it's so unusual for an underrated talent like Borz to get this kind of tribute.
THE RIVER is an intensely sexy experience. Unusually, the vamp (Mary Duncan, the uber-vamp in SUNRISE) who seduces a youth is here a sympathetic character, assisting his passage to manhood. (The movie has a broadly allegorical sweep, with the titular waterway representing life.) Farrell's swim is one erotic moment (how rare to see a naked man and a clothed woman!), but our favourite was the scene where Duncan suddenly gets very interested in comparing her height to Farrell's, standing close beside him, her bottom touching his pelvis — no wait, let's try it this way round…
F.B. is also a brilliant example of a filmmaker making the leap to talkies — speech adds a further layer of sophistication to his already delicate and nuanced approach. And since he always favoured subtlety and understatement in performance, and had a fantastic sensitivity to human emotion, he seems to have had little difficulty adapting to the different performance style of talking cinema. All the more impressive since Borzage does not appear to have had much, if any, stage experience (but arguably stage directors coming to the new talking pictures tended towards a more rhetorical style of playing perhaps less effective than the informality of those directors who had come from silent cinema).
Oops! Here's a clip from LILIOM Borzage's remake of Lang (!) — I'm absolutely ulcerating to see this film. It does reveal a good bit of that dreamlike clunk, crackle and pause of early sound cinema. Everybody seems to take a long time to respond to everyone else, giving the warm sussuration of audio hiss plenty of silence to fill. And dig those crazy sets! Boy!
(Maybe don't watch the whole bit if you're afraid of "spoilers". But if you've seen the Lang, you're safe.)
Here's another example of a Borzage chime, where a moment in one movie recalls one in a previous:
Ascending to SEVENTH HEAVEN, Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor, followed by Borzage's camera crane.
Ascending through the circles of hell, on Hester Street, Joan Crawford in MANNEQUIN.
Both shots are elegant upward cranes, with a side-to-side shimmy following the spiralling of the stairs, though MANNEQUIN doesn't rate quite as excessive a stylistic flourish as its predecessor. But instead we get a powerful sound mix of barking dogs, crying babies, elevated trains and other oppressive proletarian din — this is a place from which a person with feelings must escape.
We were so impressed by this film, which despite being from MGM (the Vatican of poshlust), had a genuine Warner Bros grit. Despite the title, Joan C is a fashion model for about five minutes, long enough to cram a parade of "gowns by Adrian" into the proceedings, but mostly she's struggling to escape the slums, vividly embodied by her family and her no-goodnik boyfriend. I liked Leo Gorcey's casting here as the kid brother: the unacceptable face of poverty, he's possibly the vilest character in any Borzage film, although the boyfriend is only superficially better (I also liked that the bf manages a fighter called Swing Magoo).
Best of all, Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy are just amazing here, empathic and charming and sincere in ways we tend not to find them. Two actors we often don't admire, giving wholly admirable performances: proof of Borzage's superior talent, as far as we're concerned. The fact that Borzage was apparently screwing Crawford maybe helped, I don't know. Maybe Tracy is mirroring Borzage's own feelings. At any rate, Tracy's adoration of his co-star is palpable.
In 1933, Borzage had the honour of making Mary Pickford's last film, SECRETS. He also had the honour of making Mary Pickford. I was fascinated to note that this movie begins with a similar conjunction of the "real" and the utterly artificial as F.B.'s FAREWELL TO ARMS. We pan across a miniature countryside, rendered in detail so tiny that the roving lens can't get everything in focus. The foreground fence is a soft blur, the tiny matchstick church in the background is mostly sharp, and the mountain range in the far distance is another gauzy smear. Then the view disappears behind some dark foreground shape, and when we emerge from the other side, we're in a life-sized location. A life-sized horse stares straight at us.
THE DAY I MET CARUSO is a "charming" television film made for Screen Director's Playhouse, whose charm is mainly delivered by Borzage's appearance right at the start. The little girl in it is lovely, and there's plenty of authentic Caruso on the soundtrack. There's discussion of religion, as a little Mormon meets a big Catholic, and the Mormon faith's dislike of luxury is found to be without real merit. not a major work by any means, but like CHINA DOLL, it's recognisably a work of it's maker. I liked the line "There was a terrible thing called war, and a wonderful thing called opera," in the VO, and Caruso's dialogue: "Enough about war, let's talk about me," and "When I sing, my shirt, she becomes attached to my skin." Not something he should really be sharing with a little girl, but oddness is always part of The Borzage Effect.
Bye, Frank!

Here is the prompt I got: Suppose you have one cent ($0.01) in a sock. Each day you double the amount of money you have in the sock. Thus on day one you have one cent, on day two you have two cents ($0.02), on day three you have four cents ($0.04), and so forth.
The doubleEachDay method takes a double value, jackpot, as its input argument, and calculates the number of days needed to reach or exceed the jackpot amount, starting at 0.01 and doubling each day. The method returns the number of days required for doubling; this value should be stored in the integer variable numDays.
Finish the doubleEachDay method below.
public int doubleEachDay(double jackpot) { double amount = 0.01; int numDays = 0; Finish the method here return numDays; }
So what I thought would work was
while(double amount < jackpot){ amount=(amount*2); numDays++;
but that gave me a weird error message
"compilation error (line 1, column 14):
'.class' expected"
So i feel like my code should have worked but obviously it didn't
