Only two episodes in and True Detective is already one of the most visually striking television shows ever to hit cable. Few programs in recent history have put as much emphasis on its setting as an extension of the characters, as HBO's drama tells so much about the bedraggled state of its detectives just by focusing on the hurricane-ravaged Louisiana woods they drive through. Torn apart but still standing, Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) are haunted and guilt-ridden, hoping for normalcy and comfort in a dark, deranged community. Their police cruiser, notably the only car seen on the road, cuts through the destruction at top speed. Can they work together to mend a destroyed community and their own equally tattered psyches?
Hart and Cohle are not typical television heroes: they are moody and morose, deeply unhappy with their circumstances and sometimes even at odds with each other. Slowly, these two souls are starting to find things in common and work as a team; however, as flash-forward scenes indicate, there was still a falling out between them that we will likely see in a few weeks. The eight-episode series, written by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (Sin Nombre), is already starting to stand out from other crime procedurals, as it is one more ordained on figuring out the detectives than having the detectives figure out the crime. Patient viewers will hopefully find the slow burn pacing of the investigation rewarding at the series' end, although Hart and Cohle's mysterious pasts, slowly percolating to the surface, are far more compelling than the details of Dora Lange's murder.
In "Seeing Things," the superb second of eight hours, Fukunaga uses a dim visual palette and lets the camera linger on the Louisiana wetlands, strewn and scattered, as a metaphor for the detectives' fractured states of mind. As Cohle reveals to his partner, his young daughter tragically died at a young age and his marriage could not handle the strain. He checked into a rehab facility and despite thinking with clarity about the criminal matters currently at hand, the sudden sparks that he sees flinging through the sky above him suggest he is still mentally confused. Dopey and drugged, Cohle is prone to chemical flashbacks, the result of his work as a narcotics officer in Texas.
Although Hart looked straight-laced in the pilot episode, he has something to feel guilty about this week. Even with a supportive wife and young daughters at home, he gets his rocks off at the bar before heading to a girlfriend's house for some kinky sex with handcuffs. The dreary world of casework and dead ends brings him down and he feels that he needs these vices to bring him a boost. "You've got to decompress before you can go be a family man," Hart tells another officer. However, wife Maggie (Michelle Monaghan) suspects he is being unfaithful.
In the Dora Lange case, Hart and Cohle are looking for a church where the slain young girl, found lashed to a tree in last week's opener, was a congregant. They drift through Louisiana, find a group of working girls lurking at a trailer park – a "hillbilly bunny ranch," the detectives say – who may know the whereabouts of this church where Dora found peace. And, likely, her murderer. As the detectives search for the church, Hart and Cohle are looking for their own salvation. There is real human frailty at the centre of both characters and in the surrounding woods. Perhaps that is what makes a character-driven mystery like True Detective so riveting – their roles as investigators are the only places where Hart and Cohle are decent and worthwhile.Next
Matthew McConaughey's performance, dreary and wily in equal measure, may be the finest thing he has ever put on screen, and True Detective can only bolster his chances for Oscar gold for his charismatic turn in Dallas Buyers Club. Meanwhile, the actor's brittle way of speaking and his gaunt, skinny physique (likely a result of losing 40 pounds for Dallas Buyers Club but still as significant to his character here) signify how his lost, tormented psyche weighs him down. Cohle's nerves are frayed: he almost always looks half-awake, half-hallucinating. In a moment late in the episode, he steps out of the police car and sees a flock of birds flying in a looped formation that looks too perfect to be real. Is this a hallucination, or can beauty and nature still survive in such an impure setting? Chole is a character both pulpy and philosophical and McConaughey has been mesmerizing in the part so far.
Meanwhile, Harrelson is no slouch next to his old friend's showier, more damaged portrayal. Hart is a man who likes being in control, but he is starting to slip into deceitful patterns. There is a real conflict within him, trying to clean up crimes while also dirtying his own reputation as a respected cop and family man. Hart makes a point to spit out his disgust at the prostitutes he interviews at the "bunny ranch," criticizing the young girls' indecency. That may not be the wisest thing for an adulterer to say and Harrelson is starting to reveal his character's negative sense of moral judgment in provocative, pointed ways.
Right now, the only thing miring True Detective are the moments from 2012, when two cops interview the men years after the bizarre Lange case, when a similar crime pops up in the modern day. There is nothing wrong with this chronological device as a way to show how these two men have changed over a span of 17 years, but there are too many moments of Hart and Cohle going through very miniscule details of their own personalities. These details feel too written and somewhat unnatural within the context of an interview.
Dark and moody, True Detective also has a harsh disposition toward female characters. However, one thing bonding the two detectives is how protective they are of young girls. With Cohle's daughter's life cut short and Hart's lack of time with his own girls, the two men transfer their will to be good father figures to bringing justice upon Dora Lange's murderer. The show may takes place in a man's world – tough, ugly and threatening – but what a vivid, uncompromising vision of pulpy masculinity it is. Hopefully, Hart and Cohle will find a sort of salvation in their own ashen hearts as the series develops.

EMI Partnering With Echo Nest To Make Music App Creation Easier
Nowadays, pretty much every musician has at least one app (Bjork, for one, has an entire app album). Now, it'll be even easier for enterprising developers to create music apps using data from EMI musicians, thanks to a new partnership with EMI and the Echo Nest.
Thursday, EMI announced that it is teaming up with music intelligence platform the Echo Nest to make select contents of its catalog available to application developers as part of its OpenEMI initiative (designed to make application development easier).
According to Jim Lucchese, CEO of the Echo Nest, EMI and the Nest have created a number of sandboxes (a kind of testing environment for developers) where devs can click through EMI's terms of service and access content that they can use to build apps.
The first sandbox, Lucchese says, is a general cross-section of the EMI catalog, about 2,000 tracks. The second contains specific artists — including Gorillaz, Pet Shop Boys, Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Eliza Doolittle, Chiddy Bang, The Japanese Popstars, etc — with audio, video and other assets, along with creative briefs (thoughts from artists on what kinds of apps they're interested in). More artists will be added to that sandbox in the future.
The third box contains catalog-specific material, like tracks from Blue Note Records. Devs will also have access to the Echo Nest's own tools, which make it easy to find tunes, make playlists and search for similar artists (to name a few functions).
"Another big step forward here is the certainty around how the money works," Lucchese says. "In that there's a 60/40 split — EMI to developer." EMI will handle all the third-party clearances and publish the app to the appropriate store, and then pay out to everyone else, but the dev will still retain ownership of the app.
Developers can visit the Echo Nest site to access the sandboxes and submit their ideas to EMI and the Echo nest. They can also hit up the Echo Nest's music hack day this weekend in Boston.
This isn't the first partnership of its kind that the Echo Nest has made. It recently hooked up with Island Def Jam to streamline the creation of music apps as well.

Have you tried all the 'usual' remedies like ginger etc? Eating before you even get up is supposed to help a bit and bananas are supposed to help because of the pottassium in them or something like that. I've seen some ladies on here recommending 'preggy pops' which are supposed to help with morning sickness. I was sick (and exhausted) till about week 16, I felt nauseas all day and would be sick several times in the morning and I couold have fallen asleep on a washing line, lol! The thing I found helped when none of the other usual ideas worked was the acupressure travel sickness bands you wear on your wrists, they work for me when travelling so I thought I would try them and although it didn't cure the problem it did help, you can get them from most chemists. If you are really poorly and can't keep anything down see your doctor because they can prescribe anti sickness drugs for ladies who are really suffering.
Good luck and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
hiya claire
sorry to hear u are suffering , i had terrible morning/noon/night sickness lol - i was given anti sickness tabs from the doctor but some days i was still sick, so then (this is gunna sound gross) id eat food that i knew wud be easy to sick up lol (yoghurts/ice cream/soup) coz you need to eat and get sugar into your body as you dont want to end up with keytones in your pee etc (doctor also advised to drink sugary drinks to keep blood sugars up!) fingers crossed it eases for you hun
Hi Gem + Nichole ..
Im not that mad on ginger even though i tried it in my first pregnancy (but it was a ginger cake by the company who makes golden syrups) but it didnt work as well as i hoped back then..but back then I only bin sick once throughout my pregnancy on te day outside of the house at warrington hospital as i was going in for my 12 week scan lol...but for number 2 the pregnancy im happy and excited my baby to come but not enjoying one bit of this sickness,and Iv not been able to go out with long walks with my daughter/partner as i love going for walks,that i cant do at the moment which is upsetting me.lol and even though i might not be 12 weeks gone,i feel hugh as my belly gone fat ( but thats apart of being pregnant),
I dont really want to be going to the doctors as im one of those people who dont want to look like a hyprocondracte. I think the reason why my mourning sickness is bad is because it also could do with worrying due to not wanting this baby to be born 3 1/2 months premature due to my suffering with high blood pressure medically and renal problems.and worrying aboout coz of that,having to have a c-section as it really hurt in uncomfortable way of the feels of tugging,pulling and pressure, and then after seeing jennifer when she was out but couldnt see her for long (only a min as they needed to get her into neo natal) then having to wait til i could see jennifer again properly for 2nd time ,but i would class it as first proper look at her..... because the nurses said to me that i could see jennifer after theyve got my blood pressure down..but coz my bp wouldnt go down and not being able to see jen..i ended up having a fit and went abit uncounsious...when they was giving me this medicen that goes through the bit that connects from the drip to the needle in ur arm..but the medicen made your body burn up and ur throat burnt up just by one little push of the serringe (bout half quarter of a mil) and i had to have about a nearlly full serringe of this medicen ( no wounder i went uncousious) so this is sort of my worry for this pregnancy as I dont want to go through what I had to with my 1st baby....but with my 1st baby jennifer..i wouldnt change it for the world....but just dont want to go through it all again...so that what i think that could be playing on my mourning sickness...
sorry for the long ranting on and on lol xXx
hi Annwen thankyou... im having a proper sit down talk with the midwife this monday comming...at this moment in time im really upset and emotional because even though iv already got one child,my partners dad is abit annoid with him but more angery with me..not so much a negative anger more of ..im going to get a lecture in him going to say u need to pay more attension to jennifer and about my finacial situation etc..but my say is,when the baby comes im not going to pay any less attension to jennifer,when the baby comes both of my children are going to have the same amount attension.like when the baby comes im going to push jennifer aside and not take any notice of her..nah thats not the case...i love jennifer more than life itself,shes my whole world and i wouldnt know what to do without her.
people who i know think im ni-eve immature etc and im getting to the point where im getting sick of it...why cant people just be on my side..im a good person and i dont need this crap in my life anymore...im really upset...I just dont think i belong anywhere where i live...towards my family..my partners family,even my partner i feel like i dont feel belong..i just want to move out of warrington..also im sick of people pretending to like me..cause it feels like they just do it to be nice and cant stand it anymore...
Hi Clare.
I found out I was pregnant about 4 weeks ago and was confused and worried because I hadnt had any symptoms. I found myself wishing for nausea just so I would feel pregnant! Now I wish I hadnt been so niave- the nausea is here with a vengence and like you I feel constantly sick, tired and worried.
I found the best thing to settle my stomach is a mug of hot fruity tea (I use ginger tea but if youre not keen on ginger, lemon is good) mixed with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. This is an old recipe of my Nana's which works for any digestive issues and the cider vinegar is perfectly safe during pregnancy. You can also put it into apple juice of just plain hot water but I swear it works everytime.
Meanwhile I wish you all the luck with your pregnancy and home life
Rhi xx

A true effort is required to see the commoner of Pakistan by Indians, unblemished by the media and the bitter history both the countries saw
The India-Pakistan is a war in the cold that has raised questions of its reasonableness many a times. Has our society been in the process of thought-moulding by the media since partition? Have our perceptions become limited to the Idiot box's "Sansani khulasa : Bomb blast mein pakistani ISI ka haath"? Do we really know the real Pakistani? Will the commoner across the border kill me the moment he knows about my nationality? These are questions we have rarely bothered to ask ourselves, much rarer have them answered. But, I don't think I would be wrong to say that political diplomacy has molded the common man's opinion in a style, derogatory to humanity itself. Such a damage to our thinking may be permanent if we don't question such ideas. My idea is to build up a cross border forum, something as simple as a Facebook page, where the common man will be able to express what he really feels about the neighbor and vice-versa. Knowing the original of the neighbor is the simplest way to clarify years of exaggerated hatred in our minds.

May 27 2011: The basic intention and thought of mine was to bring up certainty regarding our neighbour ideologies. I wouldn't oppose the incidents that triggered of 1965,1971 and Kargil. Even now, infiltration and terrorist camps are a burning image on the peace attempts. All that I am questioning is that "Are we right in generalizing such an idea for the entire Pakistan Community"?
Thank you for your support for an open forum. I would definitely like to know more about how this entire project can flag off

Ropeadope Digital
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Those were the words spoken by Neil Armstrong as he walked on the moon. After years of hard work we achieved the impossible, forever leaving a mark in the world consciousness.
Cabinet's 4 th record, LEAP, is exactly that for this sometimes ragged, all the time professional band of American dreamers from Pennsylvania. After years of tearing apart American music and building it up again in their own vision, Cabinet has unveiled a work that perfectly defines... Cabinet. The rough hewn structure that began as six musicians with divergent styles coming together has been whittled, sanded, and polished through persistence and hard work. The result is an impressive structure that shows each of the players and their unique contribution in simple, elegant beauty.
Leap was recorded live in the studio, over four days with a live audience. The result is a flawless recording that leaves the listener with the feeling that they too were there. No digital perfection is needed, because they nailed it right then and there. From the first few notes you can tell that this is a recording to own, to savor, and to explore. JP Biondo's soothing vocals speak of innocence and longing, with Pappy Biondo's delicate and deliberate banjo keeping time like a boxcar clicking along the tracks. Dylan Skursky's bass is ever present; as a live recording you can feel the bass like it is right in the room. Enter the fiddle treatments of Todd Kopec, creating a haunting full-moon -at-night landscape one moment, and an avant-garde, almost electronic accompaniment the next. All the while Mickey's guitar is stepping in and out with perfect rhythm, and JP 's mandolin building tension at every chance. And behind everything, in the middle, and all around is the careful ear and hand of Jami Novak - a drummer who knows what's around every corner.
This is a band that wants to play music, that loves to play music. You can hear in each song a bridled optimism, like they are just waiting to take you on an extended journey across the countryside. It is this tension, perfectly crafted with each player trading licks, that holds the listener in rapt attention.
When you finish this record, you will see the house that Cabinet built. Sleek, sturdy, built from the heart with sublime finishing touches. You will want to live in that house for the rest of your days.

About the Artist
"Coviello and his mandolin- playing songwriting partner JP Biondo formed the nucleus of Cabinet before the rest of the band came along. JP's cousin, Pat Biondo, recently moved to the area from Cleveland and was assimilated into the group after agreeing to learn a new skill. "I played guitar for years and when I wanted to join the band, they already had a guitar. Someone had a banjo lying around, so I started to learn how to play the banjo." Todd Kopec adds another bluegrassy element dynamic with his fiddle while Dylan Skursky's nimble fingers on the upright bass supplements the rest of the ensemble well. Oh, and did I mention that they all sing? Three and four-part harmonies are a regular part of the show Hearing a bluegrass band play in NEPA is an amazing shift from the interchangeable bar bands. In the middle of one particularly long extended jam, I thought about how great it would have been to have that song playing in my car's stereo as I drove around Harveys Lake with the windows and sunroof open on a gorgeous summer day." -excerpt from article written by: Dave Thackara (copyright) Electric City 2008.
Cabinet CD finally on shelves by Michael Lello
Wherever, whenever and with whomever you talk local music, the band name Cabinet seems to come up. With a tasty blend of banjo, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass and acoustic guitar, the six-piece group has caught the ears of bluegrass aficionados, jam band lovers and even fans in the indie/all-ages scene. When discussing Cabinet, the inevitable question emerges: when is the album coming out? Until recently, the answer was speculative. But this week, Cabinet will finally celebrate the self-titled full-length CD at a release party at the River Street Jazz Cafe. The CD will also be available at Gallery Of Sound stores. The band -- J.P. Biondo (mandolin, vocals), Pappy Biondo (banjo, vocals), Mickey Coviello (acoustic guitar, vocals), Todd Kopec (fiddle, vocals), Dylan Skursky (electric/upright bass, vocals) and Jami Novak (drums/percussion) -- had been working on the CD since the fall with Eric Ritter at Windmill Agency Studio in Mt. Cobb. The album includes tunes Cabinet fans will be familiar with from the live shows, Kopec says. "They're definitely tighter on the album but still have that air of improvisation," he says. "One or two are radio-ready in that sense as well. We retained a little bit of the jam-band feel, but it's definitely more organized, and there's no 20-minute tracks." Cabinet formed about two years ago but has already forged a dedicated and growing fanbase in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, playing a bunch of shows at venues like the Jazz Cafe. Kopec says that the band is also planning a release show in Pittsburgh. Soon after, it's off to Jim Thorpe for an Earth Day celebration, where Cabinet will perform on April 19 with Natural Breakdown at the Mauch Chunk Opera House. The band also has festival slots lined up at Some Kind of Jam in Kempton, Pa., and in August at A Bear's Picnic in Milton, Pa.; it'll be the band's third appearance at the latter. Penn's Peak, also in Jim Thorpe, is also a key room for Cabinet, which in December landed a gig there opening for national act Railroad Earth. "Penn's Peak was interesting, because we had to kind of gamble and make them know that we could bring people to the show," says Kopec. The band organized a bus trip and brought 150 of its own fans to the show. More remarkable, though, was what happened when Cabinet finished its set: the crowd demanded an encore. "It's not usual for an opening act to get an encore," Kopec says. "We had a lot of people say it was the first time they saw that kind of thing. It wasn't necessarily an ego boost, but we felt a little validated." Northeastern Pa. is Cabinet's core area, but the band has also focused .. markets" like Vermont, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, Kopec says. And at press time, the guys were gearing up for a possible trip to somewhere much farther away: Thailand, where they would perform with Todd Lavelle, a Scranton-area native who's popular on the world-music festival circuit. Cabinet's diverse sound is the product of a diverse group of musicians with unique influences and backgrounds. The members range in age from early 20s to mid 30s, with drummer Novak being the oldest. "He's the oldest of the group and has more of a world-music feel as a drummer," Kopec says. "That was a huge gain for us, especially at the larger shows. He really has that professional feel as a drummer, so that helps. On the other end of the scale, the youthful energy of a 22-year-old guy is very beneficial to a band, obviously. The music that we play seems to appeal to a pretty wide audience."

Last minute Christmas shoppers in Tewksbury, Massachusetts were simply going about their business filling their carts with goodies yesterday evening -- when all of a sudden Beyonce showed up at Walmart and gave them the shock of their lives.
Seriously ... can you even imagine what the scene in that store looked like when people realized they were shopping alongside one of the biggest female celebs in the music world? Holy moly. It must've been pretty cool -- especially considering how hectic a holiday trip to Walmart usually is.
But Beyonce simply turning up at the store wasn't the only treat these lucky folks wound up with.
In addition to watching none other than Bey herself pushing her cart up and down the aisles (and yes, she did pick up a copy of her new album) -- she purchased a $50 gift card for every person in the store.
For reals. Did I mention 750 of them were handed out? Do the math ... that's a grand total of $37,500 -- all for choosing to shop at 7 p.m. on the last Friday night before Christmas.
I can't lie -- I'm not exactly one of Beyonce's biggest fans. Something about her has always rubbed me the wrong way for whatever reason. But after hearing about this generous and kind gesture of hers, my opinion of her has definitely gone up a notch or two.
Just look at some of the people in the photo above. They're so starstruck, they can hardly believe it! And they'll never forget this Christmas for the rest of their lives, which is a gift you can't put a price on.
Are you impressed with what Beyonce did?
Image via Twitter
She is worth millions upon millions and got them each a $50 gift card? She could have paid for every last thing in every last customers shopping cart, gave each of them a $1,000 gift card, AND filled everyones gas tank up and not have blinked an eye.
She did this for publicity because she has a new album.
All about Beyonce'.
Why does it matter how much money she has, Honestly she didn't have to do a damn thing.
What have I done? Volunteered at a local soup kitchen, donated several boxes of warm clothes to families in need, donated $40 which was all I could afford to the ASPCA to feed animals for the holidays, and I help run a donation site on facebook, that is only for people in actual need.
And as far as the gift card? I would have accepted it, and then publicly donated it to a woman's domestic violence shelter in my area. And I would have told Beyonce her peanuts meant nothing to me, and that maybe she should go help people in need instead of promoting herself.

Police probe Manchester shooting - updated at 11:55 a.m.Staff Report | December 31,2012By Patrick McArdle
MANCHESTER - A local man who was shot on Sunday evening told police he was the victim of a drive-by shooting but police are still investigating the circumstances that resulted in the gunshot wound, according to Manchester Police Chief Michael Hall.
Hall said on Monday morning that he believed Donald Ely-Gardner, 27, of Manchester, was no longer in life-threatening danger because of the wound.
Ely-Gardner was taken to the Manchester Police Department by a friend at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. He appeared to have been shot in the chest.
Hall said the gunshot wound appeared to have been caused by a small-caliber handgun.
Around 9 a.m. Monday, Hall said that, after a preliminary investigation, police believe Ely-Gardner had been at home with a friend, William Nichols Jr., in Manchester on Sunday evening. Hall said Ely-Gardner told Nichols he was going out for cigarettes around 8:30 p.m.
A short time later, Ely-Gardner called Nichols to say he had been shot. He told his friend he was on Route 7A about 200 feet south of the new roundabout at the intersection of Routes 11/30 and 7A, Hall said.
Hall said Nichols told police he went to the scene, found Ely-Gardner in a parking lot and brought him to the Manchester Police Department which is farther north on Route 7A.
The Manchester Rescue Squad took Ely-Gardner to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington. He was later taken by helicopter to the Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center where he had been listed in critical condition early this morning.
However, by 9 a.m., Hall said he believed Ely-Gardner was no longer considered to be in life-threatening danger.
The only information that police got from Ely-Gardner was that he had been shot by a passing driver.
"We're still processing the crime scene up there and still gathering evidence at this point," Hall said.
While police were doing their on-site investigation, Hall said they might face some challenges because a light snow was beginning to fall in Manchester on Monday morning.
Hall said police had no reason to believe there was an immediate danger to the public.
Ely-Gardner has a criminal history in the area.
He currently has seven felony charges pending for violation of an abuse prevention order. The charges were felonies based on Ely-Gardner's previous convictions for violating abuse prevention orders in November 2004.
In that case, a woman reported to the Bennington Police Department on July 11 that Ely-Gardner had been sending her text messages in violation of a relief from abuse order issued in April. Sgt. David Dutcher said he had contacted the Manchester Police Department, because Ely-Gardner lives in Manchester, and asked that Ely-Gardner be cited and given new conditions of release which re-stated that he was not to have contact with the woman.
The woman called Dutcher later on July 11 to report that Ely-Gardner had sent her text messages within about 45 minutes of being released by the Manchester police.
Ely-Gardner also has a pending charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
In March, 2010, he was convicted by a jury of domestic assault in Bennington criminal court.
Both Hall and Bennington County State's Attorney Erica Marthage said they were not expecting to host a press conference on the incident on Monday.

This Minute at Runco
My Favorite Demo ClipsThursday, February 18, 2010
By Jeremy Sternhagen
Whenever I finish the process of setting up any Runco display, I always have my favorite demo clips with me to test out my work. Some people like to grab a disc that is full of bright shiny imagery to guarantee an eye popping demo. I prefer something a little more challenging.
Some of the best Blu-Ray discs available are made with such meticulous care, that preserving every aspect of the original film quality is the number-one thing a film nut, like me, looks for.
Seeing things like film grain are all just part of the experience and make the video authentic. Poor video equipment masks some of these finer details, creating a very un-film-like experience.
In chapter 4 (28:09) of JJ Abrams' Star Trek, the scene opens in outer space and a Romulan ship passes in front of the audience. If the projector is not set up correctly, the ship appears as a dark mess of nothing, silhouetted against some space clouds, with little or no detail. If the projector has been properly calibrated, you can see every detail in the dark shadows of the ship. The scene continues with many other dark scenes that demonstrate proper black levels.
Later, in chapter 7 (52:21) there is an action sequence with Kirk and Sulu dropping through the atmosphere in space suits, then engaging in hand-to-hand combat. It is a great demo from both an audio and video perspective. The scene starts off dark, so you can point out black level details, but then it transitions to the bright outdoor fight sequence. There is a slow build to the sound, so audiophiles will appreciate the dynamic presentation much more technical than simply loud explosions with no breaks.
I love to point out the cinematography in this film, as JJ Abrams specifically uses lens flare in almost every shot. He is basically using an optical artifact to enhance his film. Star Trek is trying to look like a movie, not reality.
Another favorite demo is Baraka. This movie was filmed almost 20 years ago, and was shot in 70mm, so the detail is amazing. Beginning at chapter 4 (12:00) There is a sequence that shows some colorful outdoor gardens and locals, all enjoying their surroundings. The shots are all slowly and smoothly executed, allowing you to soak in every detail. Following the shots of local ceremony, the movie pans to images of volcanoes and clouds, all shot using amazing fly-overs and time lapse. The imagery is accompanied by an ominous drum beat. The result forces the viewer to appreciate the amazing views. If the projector is set correctly, every large and small detail in the clouds will be visible. The next sequence features some large lizards basking in the sun while waves break on rocks around them. The shots are close up, and highly detailed. If you want to see more of the same types of images and detail, skip to chapter 21.
Baraka is great because there is no artificial imagery here. No boosted colors or special effects. A lot of popular demos used today are bright and colorful, such as Transformers or an animated movie, such as UP, look great on just about any display, because the colors are all bright and oversaturated. I prefer these demos, because I feel like it's not cheating. And if your projector is properly calibrated and can display these challenging scenes well, then any subsequent image will look spectacular.

A Christmas Carol Frightens and DelightsSunday, December 27, 2009
Posted December 27, 2009 by Pippa Edelen
To jumpstart getting in the holiday spirit, my hubby and I dropped $31 at our local multiplex to check out the IMAX 3D Disney remake of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, starting Jim Carrey. Having played Mrs. Cratchit in Hallinan Elementary's riveting showcase of A Christmas Carol in 5th grade, I was familiar with the story and had both read Dickens' original and seen a range of versions, being particularly inclined to the version featuring Scrooge McDuck. Given the various iterations I felt fairly well prepared for what to expect in terms of the undead and blatant lesson of "do unto others;" however, I substantially underestimated how frightening this tale can be. As someone who startles easily, and hates to be startled, my neighbors in the theater were tickled the first time I screamed, rather loud, when something popped out of the screen accompanied by 30,000 watts of sound. They were understandably less charmed the third time I did this. And the fourth. And the fifth. The story holds nothing back in terms of death, ghosts, the afterlife and should come with a precursor this interpretation can be flat-out freaky. I cannot tell you how many kids I saw hiding or crying as they left the theater, so take note that this is definitely a movie only appropriate for audiences with double-digit ages. For the younger Christmas movie enthusiasts, I highly recommend the aforementioned tale featuring animated relatives of Donald Duck.
My previous exposure to big-screen 3D started with Jaws 3 in the 1983 and, most recently, the hastily-added 14 minutes to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. As someone who is prone to vertigo and miserably suffered through Beowolf with only my sour Skittles as comfort, I was delighted with the realism and execution of A Christmas Carol and give an enthusiastic thumbs-up to the incredible advancement in the 3D technology and application. Particularly impressive are the scenes where Scrooge and various ghosts are flying over London and the details and texture in the otherwise ordinary, everyday things, like the wrought-iron fence and the characters' skin. The animation still lacks a small detail of realism, particularly in the characters' eyes, which fail to sparkle and light in a way that simulates lifelike. But the people are so well animated that you can, upon being introduced to new characters, guess the actor voicing them instantly, particularly Colin Firth as Scrooge's nephew who plays a well-wishing opposite to his cold uncle. You'll find yourself trying to guess each actor as we meet new guests and ghosts.
My favorite scene in A Christmas Carol, which does a particularly good convincing job using 3D to suspend disbelief, shows Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Present watching a Christmas party through the floor of Scrooge's vast London manse. I was impressed by the visually-stunning semi-opaque wood that is blends to be both the floor of the mansion and the ceiling of the party. Watch for the grains of wood disappearing into nothing and for the pressure caused by Scrooge's hands on the ceiling. Its small details and effects like this that make this picture particularly enchanting and rather whimsical, spookfest-aside. At the end of this scene, Scrooge looks up at the ghost and, if shown the image as a still frame, in 3D, next to a photograph of the character, I would have been hard pressed to guess the animation from the actor. The talent is simply terribly impressive and represents a true advancement because instead of merely forcing a illness-inducing gimmick into an otherwise enjoyable movie, A Christmas Carol and the storytelling is instead enhanced by 3D.
The story is timeless, but the application of the latest 3D animation technology, as well as the affect from really talented actors, including my personal favorite, Gary Oldman, make for a stunning holiday movie that may be the first movie I've seen that's worth the $15.50 for admission.

Sam HannaTalk0
this wiki
Special Agent Samuel Hanna is a Senior Field Agent in the NCIS Office of Special Projects and G. Callen's partner.
Background Edit
He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His dream as a child was to become a Navy SEAL, and reached the rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer during his enlistment.
Personality Edit
Sam has a sense of honor for other people who serve for their country. From the outside, he seems tough, and is usually harsh to suspects who don't follow the rules; on the inside, he has a very big heart, loves his family, and is very emotional when it comes to people who are close to him. He always has the protector instinct; Nate Getz once revealed that Sam's biggest weakness is his need to protect everyone around him.
Career Edit
Prior to joining NCIS, Special Agent Hanna served as member of the United States Navy SEALs. During his service in the SEALs, Special Agent Hanna had dealings with the Kidon unit of Mossad. While in the Navy, Sam served in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. While on a mission in Bosnia, Sam and another member of his squad Dickerson were captured and tortured before being buried alive. Prior to his burial Dickerson was shot and died of his wound during captivity. Sam was ultimately rescued by other members of the team.
Sam joined NCIS after leaving the military. His current partner is G. Callen. During the joint operation run with Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs's team, Sam served as Callen's backup. He witnessed the shooting of Callen at the conclusion of NCIS Legend (Part 2), returning fire at the assassins as they sped away and was on the scene seconds after Callen was hit. He was seen cradling Callen in his arms while calling for an ambulance.
In the aftermath of the attack on Callen, Sam assisted Agent Macy in the interrogation of the surviving terrorist, Haziq Khaleel, in order to determine whether or not the cell was connected to the assassination attempt on Callen. In the episode LD50, Callen said that if asked if a glass was half-empty or half-full, Sam would see it as half-full.
Also, as a result of Callen being arrested for killing The Chameleon, Sam has been promoted from Senior Agent to Special Agent in charge of the Office of Special Projects team although it was later revealed that the Chameleon's death was faked and Callen and Henrietta Lange later returned to their respective positions.
During his time as a Seal an Afghani elder helped him when he was wounded on a mission, which is the plot for the Season 4 episode, Lokhay.
In the Season four finale he and Marty Deeks were captured and tortured by russian arms dealer Isaak Sidorov. Nate believes that although Sam is still very strong, he cannot withstand much more punishment like that at the risk of his mental health.
FamilyEditSam is married to Michelle Hanna aka "Quinn" who is a former agent for the CIA and the two of them have a young daughter.
- Sam has been known to speak and understand Spanish, Japanese, Danish, Korean, Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Qua'ran, although it is unknown what, if any, religious beliefs he holds. Because of his knowledge of Islam and Arabic, his undercover assignments often pertain to Islamic extremist groups, both in America and overseas in the Middle East and Africa.
- He revealed he owns a bomb shelter as revealed in Episode:Blye, K..
- He is friends with Steve McGarrett from Hawaii Five-0, who is also a SEAL, this implies that Sam met McGarrett during his Navy service.
- G.Callen and Henrietta Lange are the only one who knows about his past and family, and the only members of the team he trusts.
- G.Callen is the "Uncle" of his daughter as revealed in Episode:Higher Power.
- He played Football in High school as a Wide Receiver.
- He is very proud of his time as a SEAL, which can be analogous to NCIS Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs's own history as a Marine.
- He owned a 1970 Dodge Challenger that had been bought by his father the year it was released and worked on it as a restoration project when his work became too stressful. He was deeply upset when said car was stolen but never found out that it had been stripped and torched as Eric Beale and Nell Jones who had found the car vowed to keep it a secret from them.
- He has been obsessed with origami and has steadily improved his skill at origami since Episode:Search and Destroy , where Callen and Hetty identified his crane as a duck.
- In Episode: Vengeance, he is referred to as Chief Hanna, indicating his rank in the SEALs was most likely Chief Petty Officer (E-7)
- Near the end of Episode 12 Season 4, It shows Sam in full dress uniform and his rank is that of a Senior Chief Petty Officer (E-8)
- He and Callen have been partners for more than 5 years.
- Like Special Agent Timothy McGee, Sam is afraid of maggots as revealed in Episode:Brimstone. He and McGee are also left-handed although he was seen writing with his right hand.
- Sam's wife and the mother of his daughter is Michelle Hanna, a woman he met while both were working on a CIA taskforce. This is possibly the reason why his family has remained such a secret from the world. Only a select few know his wife's true identity, including Callen, Henrietta Lange.
- The details of Sam's past were revealed to Assistant Director Owen Granger by Henrietta Lange and to Kensi and Deeks by Callen. Episode:Rude Awakenings.
- He has Coulrophobia (fear of Clowns) and hates Snakes.
- He drives a Dodge Challenger SRT-8.

Today saw the hottest weather of the weekend and the searing heat of the tarmac caused grip problems for many of the riders.

World Superbike Champion Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) coming out victorious to take an impressive double in front of his home crowd.
Fighting back from a disastrous start Sykes gradually clawed back the deficit to claim his 17th career victory.
Chaz Davies and the Ducati Superbike Team powered the 1199 Panigale to a second place finish in both of the day's hard-fought Superbike races.
At the flag Jonathan Rea took a double victory ahead of Davies, who clung on to his second podium of the day and Sylvain Guintoli who fought hard to finish 3rd.

Those Darn Nigerians
by Bill McCloskey on Mar 16, 1:00 PM
There is a new version of the 4-1-9 e-mail scam that has been going around auction sites and the "For Sale" sections of various Web communities lately. Known as the 4-1-9 scam after 4-1-9 section of the Nigerian Penal Code, most people are familiar with these scams usually from some "barrister" of some foreign country who has heard about me through a trusted source and wants me to help him get money out of the country by depositing the money in my account. I get so many of these letters I figure I must be on some Nigerian telephone booth ...

The Uncertainty Factor
by Bill McCloskey on Mar 2, 1:30 PM
The other day I was reading one of my special interest e-mail newsgroups and someone posted to the moderator of the site that they had received a request for information from Topica, who hosts this particular e-mail group. They were concerned because of the rash of phishing going on with fake eBay e-mails, bank credit card e-mails, etc.

The WWE still plans on breaking The Shield up, despite the current direction where the team seems to have finally put their differences behind them. According to PWS on March 22, the reason The Shield breakup did not happen before "Wrestlemania 30" was because The New Age Outlaws wanted to work a program with them.
The New Age Outlaws have looked pretty strong since returning to the WWE as a tag team, with a decent tag team title rein and some solid mic work as well. As friends of Triple H, some believe that their recent push was because of favoritism behind the scenes.
That would explain why The Shield breakup was nixed for now, if Road Dogg and Billy Gunn requested a chance to work with them. Right now, "Wrestlemania 30" appears to include a six-man match with The Shield taking on Kane and The New Age Outlaws.
This was set up on "WWE Smackdown" when The New Age Outlaws attacked and laid out The Shield in an effort to help Kane.
Despite this, the WWE is still planning The Shield breakup that was rumored recently. The idea is for Roman Reigns to turn face while Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins remain together as a heel tag team to feud with him. After that, the WWE plans on Reigns to be one of their Top 5 pushed wrestlers for the next year.

ECMAscript Backend for FRP in Agda
Project like this are really exciting:
An implementation of Functional Reactive Programming for building HTML applications in Agda.
Project like this are really exciting:
An implementation of Functional Reactive Programming for building HTML applications in Agda.
I've been working on making my UI stateless. Here's a Backbone Lightbox that I made for the current project I'm working on at Airbnb: https://github.com/h4rry/backbone-lightbox
I like how this turned out. I don't feel like I have to read through the whole thing to understand how the lightbox works. The LightboxModel has everything I need to know about my lightbox state, and the Lightbox View is responding to user input and changes on the model.
Super clean. I'll do a longer, better write-up later. Just wanted to get this out there real quick.

I had the pleasure of speaking at the first ever BackboneConf, a wonderful conference put on the by the lovely folks at Bocoup.
Take aways from the conference:
Articles on javascript prototypes are always fun to revisit:
Super helpful set of matchers if your using Jasmine to test your Backbone apps by @raganwald:
expect(snafu).toInclude('s', 'n', 'a') // if snafu is an array, this is equivalent to: expect( _(snafu).include('s') && _(snafu).include('n') && _(snafu).include('a') ).toBeTruthy() // if snafu is a Backbone.js collection, this is equivalent to: expect( snafu.include('s') && snafu.include('n') && snafu.include('a') ).toBeTruthy()
Source: https://github.com/raganwald/Underscore-Matchers-for-Jasmine
So this is pretty cool:
DQL is not a fully-fledged programming language but a small DSL inspired by SQL aimed at easing DOM manipulation for DBAs.
Some Examples:
SELECT DIV FROM BODY WHERE ID='container'UPDATE (SELECT H1 FROM (SELECT DIV FROM BODY).ALL) SET CLASS='active' WHERE CLASS='disabled'
Source: http://amasad.github.com/DOMQL/
Cool Backbone thing of the day, you can have polymorphic models inside of a collection!
var Library = Backbone.Collection.extend({ model: function(attrs, options) { if (condition) { return new PublicDocument(attrs, options); } else { return new PrivateDocument(attrs, options); } } });
source: https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/issues/793#issuecomment-3205062
This wasn't immediately obvious from reading the Backbone docs:
Override this property to specify the model class that the collection contains. If defined, you can pass raw attributes objects (and arrays) to add, create, and reset, and the attributes will be converted into a model of the proper type.var Library = Backbone.Collection.extend({ model: Book });
This does become obvious when you take a look at the annotated source:
var Collection = Backbone.Collection = function(models, options) { //... if (models) this.reset(models, {silent: true, parse: options.parse}); } // Backbone.Collection.reset calls Backbone.Collection.add this.add(models, _.extend({silent: true}, options)); // and Backbone.Collection.add calls Backbone.Collection._prepareModel if (!(model = models[i] = this._prepareModel(models[i], options))) { throw new Error("Can't add an invalid model to a collection"); } // and _prepareModel is where the good stuff happens _prepareModel: function(model, options) { options || (options = {}); if (!(model instanceof Model)) { var attrs = model; options.collection = this; model = new this.model(attrs, options); if (!model._validate(model.attributes, options)) model = false; } else if (!model.collection) { model.collection = this; } return model; }, // the important line is here: model = new this.model(attrs, options);
This means that
Collection.model can be a
Backbone.Model or a function that returns a
If you want to play around with the basic idea in the console, try this:
// create a function a couple mock models function coolModel(){} function notCoolModel(){} // test simulates Backbone.Collection.model var test = function(){ if (true) { return new coolModel(); } else { return new notCoolModel(); } } // create a new test model var testModel = new test(); // check to see if it works testModel instanceof coolModel // => returns true
Dance.js is a simple data-driven visualization framework. It's basically a flavor of Backbone.js, but enriched with some of the ideas of the very popular D3.js visualization framework.

The prolific Douglas Crockford has a new tool out called JSCheck.
JSCheck is a specification-driven testing tool. From a description of the properties of a system, function, or object, it will generate random test cases attempting to prove those properties, and then report its findings. That can be especially effective in managing the evolution of a program because it can show the conformance of new code to old code. It also provides an interesting level of self-documentation, because the executable specifications it relies on can provide a good view of the workings of a program.
- Douglas Crockford
He proposes writing specs (he calls them checks) in the source file in comment blocks. JSCheck is a special tool that can find these comment blocks and run your checks. During minification all comments get removed, so the checks are no where to be found in production code.
Of course this is a solved problem with JS testing tools like Jasmine, Mocha, etc. because specs are never served from /public so no one ever sees them in production.
One drawback to this comment-code-checker is you lose syntax highlighting in commented blocks, so readability goes away.
Sacrificing syntax highlighting might be worth it for folks that dislike having to switch between files while writing specs. Using comments to describe and check the function is a good idea and I'm happy that someone explored it to the finish.
In the end, it comes down to whatever what your most comfortable work flow is.
Just make sure your work flow includes writing specs.
A great presentation from Sarah Mei on using Backbone with Rails.
This is a pattern that I see a lot in new, greenfield Rails applications. It's essentially "Rails as an API," and what it means is that in most new Rails apps, we do no server-side HTML rendering at all. Instead we build a server that just serves data, usually in the form of JSON, and we leave it up to the JavaScript to render all the markup that the user sees.

With upwards of 100,000 people expected at Turner Field Thursday and Friday for the Braves playoff games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, extra parking has been made available at Lakewood Amphitheater. It marks the first time this season that Lakewood will be used as an additional parking area.
Officials with the Atlanta Braves said all parking in the main lots adjacent to the stadium is sold out, and are encouraging fans to take MARTA to the game. For fans who still want to drive, a shuttle service is available from Lakewood Amphitheater. The shuttle is free, but parking is $5 per vehicle.
Parking for the amphitheater is at 1920 Pryor Rd. SW, Atlanta, GA 30315. The shuttle will make its first run around 4 p.m. Thursday, and will provide service for 90 minutes after the final out of the game.
There are other parking lots not affiliated with the team in the neighborhoods around the stadium. Spaces in those lots are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, but have been known to cost as much as $40 per vehicle for highly-anticipated games.
The first pitch of Game One between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves is set for 8:37 p.m. Thursday.

Hong Kong's wealth fund is doing a lousy job investing our money
