There are no shortage of inventive cufflinks. Some of the best I've seen are of the Star Wars ilk, but those are excessively expensive and might draw so much appeal due to their nostalgic quality. Rising to the top of my list, assuming I was going to a "shotgun wedding", or was a die hard gun fan, are these bullet inspired cufflinks.
They use actual spent bullet casings, so needless to say they're harmless, though the TSA might have a thing or two to say about them. It would seem that there are a wide variety of options available on Etsy, but it would appear that all of them, no matter from where, are gonna be of the upcycled nature (another form of recycling only cooler).
These particular Bullet Cufflinks go for $20.

Bill Ayers visit to UW cancelled
By Molly Messick
Laramie, WY – The director of the Social Justice Research Center at the University of Wyoming has cancelled Bill Ayers' visit. The 1960s activist turned education theorist was scheduled to speak on Monday night. U-W Government Relations Director Don Richards says University officials discussed Ayers' visit with the Social Justice Research Center. But Richards says they didn't push for the event to be cancelled
"All of our discussions were factual in nature, trying to gather information about the event. I am not aware of any internal pressure that was imposed on the director to come down one way or the other at this point."
The Social Justice Research Center is privately endowed, but Richards says it's possible the university could have faced financial blowback for hosting Ayers. He says U-W had received hundreds of emails about Ayers' appearance, most of them opposing his visit. Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago. His lecture was to focus on social justice issues and education.

Flavia & Gisela Snap Liezel & Lisa's Win Streak
Published October 07, 2011 06:04
BEIJING, China - No.1 seeds Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik will square off with No.3 seeds Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta for the China Open title on Saturday in a match-up featuring four of the players who have held the No.1 doubles ranking this year.
Peschke and Srebotnik, who seized the top spot from Pennetta after winning Wimbledon, got their first win in three tries on Friday over Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova, 64 64. They previously lost to them in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon last year and in the semifinals of Rome this year, but this time broke Shvedova's serve at 5-4 in each set en route to victory.
In their semifinal, Dulko and Pennetta ended the 12-match winning streak of Liezel Huber - the current doubles No.1 - and Lisa Raymond, 64 62. They broke Raymond's serve at 4-4 in the first set and Huber's serve at 2-2 in the second, not losing another game the rest of the way. It was also their first win in three tries in the series, having previously lost to the Americans in match tie-breaks in the semifinals of Toronto in August and in the final of Tokyo last week. Dulko and Pennetta had not been to a final since winning the Australian Open in January, but now are into one for the second consecutive week.
"Happy to win our doubles today," Dulko tweeted. "Always tough to play Liezel and Lisa. They are great players. Looking forward to the finals tomorrow!"
Friday was especially memorable for Pennetta, in that she also defeated the singles No.1 - Caroline Wozniacki - in quarterfinal singles action.
Dulko and Pennetta are 4-0 against Peschke and Srebotnik, with three of those wins coming in finals, including at last year's WTA Championships. They are 1-1 in finals this year and 11-5 all-time, while Peschke and Srebotnik are 5-3 this year and 7-10 all-time.

New Pentax Optio VS20 compact-zoom with two shutter buttons
Pentax has been relatively quiet announcement-wise, but today they have announced a new Optio compact-zoom digital camera with a unique/unusual feature, two shutter buttons, one at the standard location and another at the "smartphone" location. The camera has a 16mp CCD sensor (so only 720 video), 20x optical zoom with sensor-shift stabilization (28-560mm eq), 3-inch LCD (460 kilodots), and a starting price of $250 USA and 200 GBP.
Press release parade at Imaging Resource, DC Resource, Photoscala, dpreview, Pocket Lint, PhotoXels, PentaxForums and Digital Camera Review (with hands-on pictures of the camera).
This increases the number of new superzooms [10x or more] in 2012 to 31 (!) new models so far. At this rate, it may end up being 31-factorial by the end of the year ;-) [see new cameras of 2012]

French Student Stories
Emily Flittner - Nantes, France
Major/Minor - French, International Studies, and Business
Program - IES Nantes, France
Why go? - To experience another culture and improve my language skills, to travel around Europe, and to learn more about myself through a new and challenging experience.
Quote - "Studying in France was an amazing experience. The opportunity to immerse myself in the French language and culture was excellent for my French skills and knowledge, but more than that, I had the opportunity to see another part of the world. It was an incredible feeling to know that I could be so independent and so capable, even an ocean away from home."
Irene Berman - Paris, France
Major/Minor - Major: Chemistry, French, Spanish; Minor: Business
Program - Sprachcafe, French in Paris
Why go? - I had been studying French for 9 years at that point and I just had to go use it. I had been to Paris on vacation before and it being such a central place in Europe, I decided to go back and get to know it better.
Quote - "Paris became like a home, I was so comfortable just living my life there that leaving felt completely inappropriate!"
Expanded Coverage - I went to a small language school in Paris where I got to be with students from all over the world, which was a very neat part of the experience. The teachers were wonderful and very personable, and we got very close to them. During my stay there I got to travel a bit, I went to Berlin, Amsterdam, London, and west of France (to the beach!). The best part of the experience was the daily life - I lived in an apartment with one roommate and most of the time I didn't even do anything "touristy" per-se, it was like being at home, just with a neater view from your window. I felt like I really got into the French rhythm of life and at the same time I enjoyed the city very much. The longer I was there the smaller and more familiar it became, and its charm just sinks in you forever!
Emily Abbot - Lisieux, France
Major/Minor - Arts Administration: Music Concentration (Voice), French
Program - Intensive French in Normandy at Centre D'Etudes Franco-Americaines (CEFA) - Lisieux, France, found through CSA (Center for Study Abroad).
Why go? - Studying abroad was always something that was very important to me when planning my college experience. I decided that a summer program would be my best option because I didn't want to miss out on a semester or even a year of the activities I am involved in at Butler. I have always been fascinated with the French language and French culture, so deciding to go to France was an obvious choice. I chose the CEFA program because I wanted to be at a small school where I could receive enough personal attention to really improve my French language skills. The town of Lisieux was also the perfect fit because it was small and I feel like I was really able to "live the French lifestyle" while I was there, which was also a goal of mine.
Quote - "Spending this past summer in France was the most unbelievably surreal and amazing experience of my life. There were definitely difficult moments throughout the trip, but they only made the experience more meaningful. All the amazing things I saw and learned and the beautiful people I met and who are now a part of my life have changed me (for the better, of course!) in ways I never would have imagined were possible."

text: Everyone hates extra fees. I'm sure everyone hates the airlines for charging for checking in bags. Now, Spirit airline wants to charge an additional $100 carry on baggage fee come this Nov? Come on, when people travel, they bring their shit with them. Everyone is already cramming their tiny 3 oz bottles of shampoo, one pair of underwear and shirt in a tiny carry on. Then proceed on fighting and shoving for a spot on the stow-away up top. Now you're going to charge a C note for that?They can try to reason it with "gas-price" excuse.I just think they're trying to make up for the lost profits in "check-in bag fees". Just check the empty luggage carousels. So next time you get on an airline, remember to ask for an extra bag of the lousy pretzels and an extra can of ginger ale to make up for the lost impeccable service they once had.

Credited with inventing the modern city magazine, Felker's encouragement of journalistic stars to produce vivid, detail-laden writing about the city's power struggles changed American magazines.
"American journalism would not be what it is today without Clay Felker, and neither would New York City," said New York's current editor in chief, Adam Moss, in a statement. "Those of us lucky enough to work in the house that he built are reminded everyday of the depth of his genius. He created a kind of magazine that had never been seen before, told a kind of story that had never been told. Nobody I have ever met in this business was as passionate a champion of talent, as relentlessly curious or as successful in getting the world inside his head onto the magazine page. He changed the way we look at this city and, in that sense, the way we live in it. All of us who practice journalism today carry Clay's legacy into everything we do, and we will never do it even half as well."
Born in Missouri to two journalists — his father was managing editor of The Sporting News and his mother had worked at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch — Felker graduated from Duke and spent three years in the Navy. After working for several years at Life and Sports Illustrated, he became features editor at Esquire as the magazine was entering its heyday. Upon losing the editorship of Esquire to Harold Hayes, he took a job as a consultant at the now-defunct New York Herald Tribune. When the Tribune folded in 1967, Felker used his own severance package and secured outside financing to buy the rights to the paper's Sunday magazine and launch it as New York magazine.
"I was so surprised because he always said, 'We can be the greatest magazine in the country,'" said Tom Wolfe, who honed his signature style under Felker in famous pieces such as "Radical Chic." "We were just a little piece of a newsroom. He always felt convinced that he could do something no one else did, and he went ahead and did it."

JILL!" I found myself repeatedly shouting her name like the worried fool I was. I had gotten down on my knees and was anxiously trying to check over her for any wounds. 'What happened? Why did she pass out? Is she ok? Oh, Goddess...' Unable to maintain my cool, I started dumbly stroking her face. The expression on Jill's unconscious face was pained. I was too panicked to think of what I was supposed to do in this sort of situation. 'What should I do? I should get a doctor! Where does the doctor live..? WHY DON'T I KNOW WHERE THE DOCTOR IS?!?!' "Jill! Jill! Please be ok!" I began to beg out loud. It didn't matter if anyone heard me or if I was sent to prison because they found me. I just wanted Jill to be ok. 'Take her home! There should be something to take care of her there! Wait! What if she injured her spine? I can't just move her! What should I do?!'"Skye...?" Jill's wonderful voice asked. Oh, I was so glad to hear that voice!I looked down into
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 15"I'm to waltz into the Inner Inn at 12 midnight. With Love, Phantom Skye..." Cliff read the note aloud. He was looking between me and the letter with the most pathetic look in his eyes I had seen him make in a long time. "Skye," he said, his voice sounding very disappointed in me, "Please tell me that you're not going to..."His words trailed off in my mind. I'm the great phantom Skye! How could I get caught leaving one of my notes?! By my best friend, nonetheless. I could just slip away, like usual, if it was someone else, but not when it's one of my friends... I had forgotten that my friend would be staying here today. What's he doing up at 3 AM, anyway?! Only thieves should be up at this ungodly hour! That's why I'm here now, of all the hours of the day to choose from..."Skye?" Cliff asked, "Look at me...""No," I refused, looking everywhere but at Cliff's face. Cliff wasn't pushy like Gray, but he had this way of looking at you in a way that made his eyes bear into y
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 18I paced the floor at the inn. I needed to think, but there was a distinct pain in my chest, and the better half of me was telling myself that I shouldn't be alone right now. Not after what happened between Jill and me. It felt like I might try to do something that I'd regret later, and I needed my friends to make sure I didn't go through with anything rash.Gray and Cliff watched me pace the floor. They had been patient with me when I showed up at the inn the night before, acting like a zombie. I didn't say anything, I just collapsed onto one of the beds. I still hadn't said anything. I just paced the floor, thinking. I'd occasionally mutter something out loud to myself. If my friends didn't know I was a crazy person already, they definitely knew it now.I had been trying to sort out what happened in my mind, what I should do. Should I really have just left Jill like that? Everything about the whole evening seemed unreal. I turned to my friends and opened my mouth to speak. I wa
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 5I strolled into the Blue Bar, not expecting what I saw: the amethyst-eyed maiden! Jill! Her hair was down, just around that beautiful face of hers. Just this simple change made her go from beautiful to absolutely stunning. She looked so... My mind searched for the correct word, but couldn't find one to describe that stunning beauty before me. I froze only for a moment."You guys find out if Ruby was making that curry?" she asked. She didn't know it was me. I still had time to hide! ... Hide where? "I was worried you wouldn't get back before-" she froze when she saw me.'Drat! I've been seen! Is it still too late to run? I'm not ready to see her again! I haven't made the curry! Crap! Crap, crap, crap...'"Skye..." she whispered.I quickly covered my shock with my usual charm, unsure of what else I was supposed to do. "Well, well. We meet again, my darling Jill," I said like the cool guy I was, stepping over to her. 'Say something about fate! That will make you seem cool and mysterious!'
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 17I wrapped an arm around my Jill's waist, placing my other hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream. I started leading her to my previous hiding place when I realized that spot only worked if there was one person. Jill was struggling in my arms and I realized she probably didn't realize it was me. How could she not know it's me? She was just calling for me! I had to keep from laughing and whispered into her ear, "You, my lovely Jill, would make a terrible thief." I kept leaning over her shoulder and slid the hand over her mouth down to her waist. I hugged her to myself. I'm so happy you're here. This means you really must care about me."Skye," Jill said, ruining my happy moment and pulling out of my grip.She turned to face me and I quickly covered my disappointment with a smile. At least I get to stare into her eyes this way..."What happened tonight?" she asked."It's nothing you need to concern yourself over," I said, waving her words away."Yes! It is somethi
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 4I avoided being seen by they beautiful, amythest-eyed Jill for a while after the peach-tree-incident. I felt pretty lame after leaving her with such a stupid note. I felt like there had to be a different way to express my feelings, and found myself talking to the guys about it."How about a gift?" Cliff suggested, sounding not so confident in his words."Gift?" I repeated dumbly."Yeah, girls like gifts," Cliff replied.I nodded slowly, "Ok, but what do I get her?""I'm not sure..." Cliff said quietly."How should we know," Gray asked indignantly, "YOU'RE the lady's man!""Right..." I replied, feeling stupid, "But... I've never actually tried winning a girl's heart. They usually just kind of...""Fall into your arms?" Gray finished."Already love you?" Cliff added."Oh, oh!" Gray continued excitedly, "Think you're their charming 'prince of the stars'?""Guys, I'm serious..." I muttered, "I need to know the right gift to get her..."Cliff said something inaudible."What was that?" Gray
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 11As fall came to an end, I made my trips to the valley less frequently. It was getting chilly, and the road was tough. I only occasionally went to spy on Jill. I would just watch her to see if I could figure out anything that she liked. My passion for curry was wearing away. Mostly because I hadn't gotten anywhere in the past little while. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how I was supposed to put "love" into my curry.I climbed into the window of the guy's room at the inn in Mineral Town. Scaling one story of a perfectly vertical and flat brick wall was nothing for the phantom thief."I think they're siblings," Gray was talking to Cliff, "Because they came by the shop earlier today. The girl had way too much stamina...""Hmmm," Cliff nodded thoughtfully."What are you guys talking about?" I asked, taking a seat on one of the beds. Gray and Cliff were sitting at the table."The new farmers that just moved in," Cliff said, "The girl introduced herself to me at church. Her name is
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 10Late one fall afternoon, I sat in the giant tree at the Goddess Pond. All of the trees were different colors: yellow, red, orange, and so many vibrant colors in between. It was the type of scenery that I loved. And it was best when observed during the day, just as the sun was setting. The reds and purples of the sunset reflected on the multicolored leaves, accenting and complimenting them. From my perch in the giant tree, I had the best view of this scenery. The only thing that could improve this scenery would be... Like magic, as soon as the thought entered my head, my fair maiden appeared. She knelt down beside the Goddess Pond. I could feel my heart pick up its pace. The colorful lights were reflecting around her, lighting up her beauty and accenting her amethyst eyes. Of the few details I could make out from my high perch, those amethyst eyes were the only thing I could see. My eyes were glued to them. I hardly even noticed she was talking. Mostly because I couldn't see any
JillxSkye: To Catch A Thief 1Chapter 1: A New LandStepping out of the cab, I tightened my ponytail and grabbed my single suitcase. It was late in the evening on the first day of spring. The sun was setting, and the land was bathed in an array of oranges and reds. The cab sped away, leaving me stranded in the small town of Forget-Me-Not Valley. I was born here, but I can hardly remember a thing.My parents divorced when I was three, and my mother took full custody of me. My father was too busy with his ranch, but I would visit him every once in a while on holidays. But today wasn't a holiday. I wasn't here to visit my father."Jill!" a voice called, pulling me out of my trance.My head snapped up and I quickly identified the voice as Takakura, my father's friend and partner."Hey, Uncle Tak," I forced out. My voice cracked at the end. I choked back tears."Hey, kid," Takakura smiled and pulled me in for a hug. "It's okay to cry."I hugged him back. Then, I took a deep breath and stepped back. I forced a smile, whi
SkyexJill: To Catch a Maiden 2I stared at the beautiful girl who seemed lost in the stars. I froze only for a moment. I looked up at the sky. "Hehe, magical, isn't it?" I chuckled to myself."Who's there?" she cried out nervously.Crap! Did I say that out loud? Let's just roll with it... "Tsk tsk," I said casually, "What's a beautiful girl like you doing, walking alone at night?"She was spinning in circles, trying to find me. It was actually pretty funny.I decided to really mess with her, and whispered in her ear, "You never know who else might be out, right beside you, watching."She let out a small gasp and spun to face me. I was slightly surprised: She was gorgeous. She had brown hair that was pulled back into a ponytail and bangs that framed her face, which seemed to practically be radiating beauty as she stood there, very surprised. However, her most outstanding feature was her amethyst eyes that sparkled from the lights of the stars. I had to keep telling myself to maintain my cool as I stared into t

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Recipe for a Rally (Final)
Click here for an archive of Jim Cramer's Mad Money recaps. Click here to get Jim Cramer's Mad Money Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Taking a page from his cookbook, Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Tuesday that the recipe for today's market rally included four primary ingredients: Ben Bernanke, consumer confidence, housing prices, and the retail investor.
Donning a chef's hat and apron, Cramer was baking a cake to celebrate the rally. He said there's a lot to celebrate in the markets, not the least of which is Ben Bernanke.Cramer said while he was initially a critic of the slow moving Bernanke, Cramer credited him with keeping the ATMs at our local banks full of cash and taking radical actions to stabilize the markets and our country's financial system.

Need for Speed Carbon - PS3 - Review
Need for Speed Carbon is this fall's entry in EA's long-running racing franchise, and it takes the race back to the city streets. More of an evolution than a reinvention of the series, Carbon carries on the feel of the Underground games released a few years ago, emphasizing city-street racing and tuning. Carbon also adds some new concepts to the formula, some that work and some that don't. However, all things considered, NFS Carbon is a solid entry that brings some great ideas and concepts to the series and would be a worthy addition to your fledging PS3 library if you're a fan of the series or racing games in general.
Need for Speed's storyline is told completely through stylized involving real human actors done in front of a green screen. The highly stylized look is reminiscent of films like Sin-City, and generally fit in with the feel of the game's graphical presentation. The gist of the storyline involves your character returning to the city after a long absence in order to settle some scores and regain your respect after some shady events culminated in your departure, leaving a lot of people suspicious of you.
You play the game in order to regain your personal respect one territory at a time. You regain sections of the map by completing races of several varieties. Each section of the map is composed of three or so races, and once you beat those races you'll gain special unlockables, like special car customizations.
Once you beat enough sections, you'll gain the opportunity to do a boss battle where you race against the leader of the gang that controls the territory. If you beat him or her, you'll gain control of the territory. There are a total of four territories to take over.
In Carbon, you'll also have access to some extra help. Your wingmen will help you a lot in your races, as they'll be able to block opponents for you, help you draft and slingshot past your competition or scout out shortcuts that you can take. While the blockers are generally the most useful, the other two categories aren't so helpful. Drafting is essentially a bust, since you never will find a section long enough for you to gain enough speed to actually make it go in your favor, and scouts are pretty much only a real help if they're in front of you.
Another new element in the game is the drifting mode. Drifting basically has you going through a set course gaining points for sustaining speed and performing combos while drifting. This mode could've been done better, since very little realistic skill is required to do well in this section (you don't actually even have to hit the brakes to drift in certain parts).
One element that is exclusive to the PS3 version is the use of the SIXAXIS controllers. The game makes good use of the controller's motion-sensing abilities, albeit in a more ancillary way than most games. By tilting it in the direction of the turn as you're going into it, it will give you a bit more leverage in the curve and an added boost in handling. It feels very natural and unforced and adds a new element to the game's physics.
Need for Speed Carbon looks pretty good on the PS3, but seems to be lacking the same polished look as its Xbox 360 counterpart. While the textures are a bit sharper in this version and the framerate stays pretty consistent, the special effects, like the motion blur when you pick up some serious speed, look pretty ugly. Some of the lighting effects also seem a little half-baked.
Soundwise, the game fairs pretty well, with some great effects and a really good soundtrack composed of some great songs that set the tone for the game and never get in the way.
Need for Speed Carbon is a solid entry to the series, with some great gameplay elements and makes good use of the SIXAXIS controllers tilt functionality. Check it out if you're a fan of the series.
|Review Scoring Details for Need for Speed Carbon
Gameplay: 8.0
Need for Speed Carbon offers up some cool new features and brings the gameplay back to the city. The SIXAXIS controller is used well, adding a new element to the driving physics. Some parts of the gameplay are hit and miss.
Graphics: 7.5
NFS Carbon features some pretty nice textures and car models and moves at a pretty solid framerate, but lacks in overall polish. The special effects are poorly implemented.
Sound: 8.5
Carbon is a great sounding game, with a good soundtrack and some solid effects.
Difficulty: Medium/Hard
Multiplayer: 7.5
The online racing features are fairly par for the course.
Concept: 8.0
The story is told through the use of stylized-FMV cutscenes, and fits in well with the neon-laced aesthetic.
Overall: 8.0
Carbon is a solid entry to the series with cool features and a great sense of style and unique controls thanks to the PS3's SIXAXIS motion sensor abilities.

Capital Cities: Safe and Sound
Two years after it first appeared on madeupchart.com as a free download, 'Safe and Sound' by Capital Cities gets a UK release date…
Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian met on Craigslist in 2008 and began making jingles and hooks for adverts before releasing their debut EP in 2011.
'Safe and Sound' was included on that and also serves as the lead single from their debut album In A Tidal Wave of Mystery.
In my opinion, that Tidal Wave carries a bigger hit in the form of 'Farrah Fawcett Hair' featuring Andre 3000 of Outkast fame.
In the meantime, 'Safe and Sound' is released on 18 August.

When are you going to update the statistics?
from Anonymous
The statistics will be updated later this week.
we should have a tribute ball sometime before the games. like a really elegant dance for everyone
from Anonymous
There will be a party after the interviews before everyone enters the arena. You can however arrange a party in the lobby by yourselves but you would be given no extra rations, just whats in your kitchen and the bar.
DAY TWO HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED - Due to the delay post from the admins, day two's announcement has been posted a little later than planned. All those who have started their day two paras already may continue and those paras will continue throughout the rest of today and tomorrow.
On Saturday, we will be posting the announcement for the final day of training and then the other main tasks that follow it. If you have any questions, queries or problems; don't hesitate to send us a message.
.... hello? anyone alive?
from Anonymous
We are alive!!!! So sorry for delays, everything will be updated as we speak!!!!!!!!
Hello everyone! Sorry for the unacceptable amount of inactivity that has been the main blog for the past five days or so. Just to let you know, we are still alive and will be getting everything up and running and updating for you guys ASAP.
I apologise again for the delays, real life issues and exams have got in the way of our activity but we hope that you guys will understand. We appreciate that you have all stayed active - you are fabulous!!!!
So, I will try to think of another sidetask to keep you busy as well as making current rp'ing a little less repetitive.
Due to many people being inactive due to studying/revising for exams, day one of training will continue throughout the rest of the day and tomorrow, ending on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Also, sponsor points will be updated tomorrow and I will let you all know when once they have been. So please send in your URLs if you haven't already.
Finally, please check the updated schedule as two rpers have been added to the training schedule.
Thank you for all your patience, you guys really are the best!
Angelica and Wyatt have been added to the schedule
Do Boyfriends count as family members?
from Anonymous
While they are not necessarily family members, boyfriends/girlfriends or any other kind of relationship like that can be classed as family :)
If we can't get a hold of our station partner could we just write a one-shot of what our characters did at the station so it still counts?
from Anonymous
Absolutely! If you cannot get into contact with your partner but still want to earn points, writing a self para is perfect.
Welcome to the Fifth Sidetask of the 65th Annual Hunger Games!
For this task, your character will reveal to Panem their family. This will consist of you giving a brief description about each member within your character's family as well as detailing the relationship in which they have with that particular family member. You can have as many family member as you wish and for each relative you name, 20 sponsor points will be awarded.
You can also include members of the family who are deceased as well as those alive. All faceclaims that have been used up already cannot be used twice for obvious reasons. If you have any questions or queries, do not hesitate to ask.

Film society fills void of art flicks
While Showcase Cinemas has slowly begun showing more eclectic fare, there are still many works that slip through the cracks. And that void is apparent to area cinema lovers.
That makes the Open Cities Film Society all the more vital.
The group of area movie buffs began showing a blend of art films and classics in 1979, and continues to screen flicks every Friday at 8 p.m. at the Nighswander Junior Theater, 2816 Eastern Ave., Davenport (with occasional showings at Galvin Fine Arts Center).
``We're an alternative to the commercial cinemas in town,'' Bob King, head of Open Cities, said. ``There are films that play everywhere, and basically, we don't show those films. We show foreign-language films which never play here, and we show some of the lesser-known films that don't play here, and we show classic movies that are never seen on the big screen.''
While Open Cities isn't able to get independent films during their first runs, oftentimes the shows still haven't made it into Q-C video stores by the time Open Cities screens them. Even if they have, seeing a film on the big screen still beats the tiny tube for most cineastes.
``We don't want people to just think of these movies as things you have to watch at home on the VCR,'' Mr. King said. ``You show it on a real screen in a real theater and a lot of the films come alive that way. It's a great experience.
``Even at most modern theaters you don't get the theater experience, because they're so small and claustrophobic. Nighswander is like the old neighborhood movie houses that used to be in the city.''
The Open Cities schedule this year includes commercially ignored critical faves like the brilliant must-see ``Red'' and the fascinating ``I Shot Andy Warhol.'' Alongside those recent works are golden oldies like ``Splendor in the Grass,'' ``M'' and ``Manhattan.''
``It's interesting, we have a lot of different tastes,'' Mr. King said. ``There are different groups that come to different kinds of movies. For example, some people don't come to any foreign-language films, and some people don't come to any movies that aren't American.''
The films are chosen by the 12-member society based on audience picks from the previous year, personal tastes, film availability and cost. Most shows run the not-for-profit society $100 to $500. However, the higher the cost, the harder it is to break even, considering the standard ``donation'' of $3.50 admission, Mr. King said. ``It's a voluntary donation, but without people making donations there wouldn't be a society.''
Usually, the movies draw an audience of about 100, but there have been a few that packed the place, most notably ``Gone With The Wind'' and ``Babette's Feast.'' Last year's big successes were Oscar-nominated flicks that hadn't yet made it to the area -- ``Mighty Aphrodite'' and ``Il Postino.''
``Those were the big surprises, both of them had gotten good word of mouth and people were looking forward to seeing them,'' Mr. King said.
However, when you're dealing with the avant garde, sometimes you don't get so lucky. After all, the works of directors like Godard and Fellini often can be challenging to viewers.
``We once showed a Bunuel film from about 30 or 40 years ago,'' Mr. King said. ``We had people coming just because it was a Spanish language film. But he's very famous for his surreal ways, and a lot of these people were not used to these surreal ways and they were just kind of shaking their heads.''
The same thing can occur with some of the harder-hitting works.
``We do get complaints sometimes,'' he said. ``Usually, people don't like films that are depressing or really vulgar. We rarely show films like that, and when you're showing the classic Hollywood stuff you never have to worry about content. But sometimes there can be good films that have some pretty strong content.''
If you're in the mood for something a little different than the big-budget blockbusters, Open Cities is the place. To get on their mailing list, write The Open Cities Film Society, 820 W. 59th St., Davenport, 52806.

Issue #45 - 2012-06-04 - Read Perl-Module-Documentation secretly in your bed at nightlatest | archive
I am way too busy nowadays. Taking my car to a garage once a week is a bit too much, and looking for a new car isn't easy either. Sometimes it's fun but when I have plenty of other things going on then I'd rather just have a working car and that's it.
I am also moving my sites to new servers which takes me way more time than it should. The Perl Weekly is still on the old one, szabgab.com is on a new one and perlide.org is in between. Probably a bug at my DNS provider.
Anyway, this means I did not have enough time to write clever comments to all the posts. I think you will manage without them :).
The next two issues of the Perl Weekly will be sent from Madison, WI, USA which means it will arrive to your inbox a bit later than usual.
Let's see the posts then:

That would be Reading::Suggestions? Renee Baecker has announced PerlyBook that let's you 'Read Perl-Module-Documentation secretly in your bed at night.' The blog is in German but I am sure you'll find the link to the PerlyBook site.
If you cannot make it to YAPC::NA that starts in 9 days, you can still watch the talks live via the streaming. See the links for the channels.
NoCOUG contest: the Perl dark horse entry
I think Yanick Champoux (yanick) wants you to participate in this contest. Judging from the example he shows, there is some serious golfing involved.
It will take place between October 11-12, 2012 in Bologna, Italy.
Buddy Burden describes how he ported old Perl code, running on 5.8.9, to use 5.14.2. The easy parts and the pitfalls.
Another upgrade story. This time an almost flawless upgrade from perl 5.14 to the recently released 5.16. chromatic uses hundreds of CPAN modules and all but 3 installed correctly on the new version of perl. Even those 3 were easily fixable issues. So why are companies afraid of upgrade? Because they don't know how to easily test if their system still works after the upgrade.
Moving modules across perlbrew installations
If that was not enouh about upgrading then look here. David Austin complained that it is hard to ensure you install all the CPAN modules in the new perl after upgrading. Breno G. de Oliveira (garu) had a quick solution. - I'd say this problem only means you don't have proper configuration management, but I would not say it too loud because I don't have either :(

I'm a new jewelcrafter myself, and it almost looks like JC is only rewarding if you've been one from the beginning of Wotlk since you can get all the recipes then. Daily quest to get one token seems a bit harsh for new JC' ers. Only prospecting looks good to make money, but the cutting self, takes a while till you have the recipes for all the gems that are needed. :)
Well, one thing you can do to offset the late starter disadvantage is to do research on which epic gem cuts sell well. Check out the AH, research what people are wearing, research what cuts are popular with what classes.
Getting all the cuts is pointless; many of them just have almost zero demand. But if you get the cuts that people want first, you can start making gold right away.
I think that's the point.. you can't get everything so easily. I spent days researching for new glyphs and I must have bought about 40 glyph mastery books to learn every single glyph the game has.. it took me a long, long time, but i felt great when I finally had them all. The same goes for enchanting, I spent a lot of time disenchanting stuff to get me enough Dream Shards and learn all the recipes from the vendor. It feels nice not to get everything in a silver platter :D
I agree with the investment/reward+satisfaction. There can be/seem to be a bit of an entry barrier. I started JC a while ago on 1 toon shortly followed by a 2nd and then a 3rd. Partly to maximize my tokens, but I keep the profession on my main for the jeweler gems/stats as well.
I decided to go for 'all recipes' just to be a completionist (all epic cuts). Met that goal quite a while ago. Still do the dailies on all 3 toons.
Helps to have your own xmute spec alchemist or 2.
And, as always, Know Your Market.
I did really well in JC just doing the blue quality gems and a handful of popular epic gems. I never really pushed the profession that hard. I didn't do metas all that often, I didn't obtain all the NR recipes, i never prospected for profit. I found in the beginning it was quite easy to make gold, but recently not all that much. If i were to do it now I'd explore all these options and keep doing the dailies. Don't forget you can buy titanium ore and damaged necks for tokens.
And also it greatly helps to be on a busy server. On one of my servers, there is 20 ppl in dalaran on average, on the other there are 100+. One server is a huge profit, the other i sell maybe two items out of hundreds a day. I'll let you guess which one.

This weekend we attended the Love and Respect Marriage Conference. It was a surprise arranged by Joe for my birthday, and I was glad to go. This is the sort of thing I used to dream he would initiate. On the other hand, I have read Dr. Eggerichs original book and have studied it closely to use in teaching at Mom Time. The concepts are completely biblical and I feel really comfortable with them. While I can totally lack in application at any given moment – the knowledge is there. So, I wasn't sure, honestly if it might feel a little redundant. (terribly prideful, right?)
Anyway, it was an excellent conference. The material was presented extremely well and I feel like I learned / was reminded of a lot of great things.
In reference to that here are 10 takeaway statements from the weekend.
- Doing things well that we are good at is easy. Doing something that is difficult for us is a true test of God's strength within and allows us to grow in Christ. Marriage is going to be hard.
- "Just because I am offended doesn't mean that they were offensive." True. Often my feeling offended has more to do with the fact that they are saying something I didn't want to hear than anything else.
- We cannot compare our strengths to someone else's weakness and consider that fair. Of course our husbands don't relate to us perfectly like a girlfriend would – they are men.
- Our culture teaches that respect must be earned, while love must be unconditional. This gives women permission to diss their husbands and treat them in a disrespectful manner, while expecting that their needs for love are to be met. This is a recipe for a disastrous marriage.
- We do the thing that seems reasonable to us – therefore women shower their men with love while ignoring their need to be respected.
- You should assume that your spouse is a good willed person who ultimately wants to please you. You didn't get married because you hated each other, so you have to think back to how it was in the beginning and build on that.
- Who should go first in changing the crazy cycle? The one who is most mature.
- As women, we want to give the men all the responsibility and keep all the authority. If you can veto his vote – he isn't really in charge.
- Men's sin is straightforward and wrong. Women's sin has all been explained and justified. He is unrighteous and she is a victim.
- Marriage is a tool and a test to demonstrate our love of God.
Anyone else familiar with this conference or read the book Love and Respect? What stood out to you?

Are the arts (music, dance, visual art, etc.) as important to teach in public schools as mathematics and sciences?
As a senior in high school and a passionate musician, I have been thinking a lot recently about the future. My future after graduation, my future with my loved ones, my friends' futures. Most of all, however, I've been thinking about society's future. In school, I am taught that math and science will get me to college, and college will get me a good job. That is all well and good... for the students who excel in math and science. I am an artist, and I think schools should build on that strength, instead of trying to fit the suqare peg of analytic classes into the round hole of my creative heart. I am very interested to hear both sides of this argument, though, as my side is not necessarily the correct side to take (if a "correct side" exists at all). I want some opinions. Should the arts be pushed more? Mathematics and sciences pushed less? Is education okay where is now?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 21 2012: I think that art programs in schools should be made more available, not pushed more. What would happen to those who do excel in math and science? It would be a pity to waste their knowledge in the arts, just like it is a pity to waste your creativity in the sciences.
I am not sure how most high schools operate, but the one I attended allowed me to pick my elective courses and this was amazing. I was able to pursue whichever area attracted me the most and wasn't confined to a specific course as long as I had the basics covered (math, science, history, literature, etc). Also, it was fundamental for all students to graduate with a certain number of credits in all of these areas, including art.
This method opened the possibilities for students to pursue their interests while still making them explore all of the options. While I might not have enjoyed taking math courses, I at least knew why I did not like this.

What did the Rogue say in World of Roguecraft?
"I've never had an opponent stunned for more than 90% of a fight."
I think that PvP balance *should* be considered in one-on-one matches. As much as battlegrounds and arenas are team-oriented... PvP often ends up being fought mano-a-mano. I cannot recount the number of times I've had to run a flag by myself. Or guard a flag or node alone. Whenever that happens, I'm easy prey for a Rogue.
I've only recently gained enough Resilience gear to survive through a Rogue's stuns. Even so, I still have problems fighting them. They still win in *most* encounters. My whole strategy is to pray I survive the stun, then run away casting instant spells. Of course, this all fails when the Rogue sprints. My only true hope after a series of stuns is that a teammate arrives. If this happens to be World PvP, there's only a tiny chance of anyone coming to help.
Rogues are all offense. And they are GOOD at it. They sacrifice a great deal of defense because they can stealth. A Rogue's survivability is tied to them making good choices in terms of timing and targets. Rogue's may be weak after the stuns wear-off, but considering they can kill or drop their opponent to 10-20% health... I'd say the playing field is MORE than tipped in the Rogue's favor. Perhaps this will all change in Cataclysm. So, I've got a "wait and see" attitude for now.
In Cataclysm, I'd like to see any class be able to defeat any class equally. That probably isn't going to happen, but I can dream can't I?
