DREDD is 2012 reboot of the Stallone Judge Dredd movie of 1995. The movie is a total reboot as the two have only two things in common.
1. Dredd is a Judge
Karl Urban (LOTR, DOOM, Bourne Supremacy, Star Trek) plays Dredd. You may not recognize the name and you wont recognize the face since he never takes off his helmet so here is a picture.
Ohhhh thats Karl Urban...ya you recognize him since he is in everything but you just dont know his name.
DREDD (2012) is scheduled to be released in September of 2012. I was invited to a screener last weekend and Im here to tell you whats up.
The movie is about Dredd being all bad ass and then they tell him to evaluate a rookie Judge played by Olivia Thirlby (Juno, No Strings Attached, The Darkest Hour) who looks pretty damn hot in short blonde hair.
There is ZERO back story. There really is no story. In the 1995 version of DREDD there were several characters in the movie. There was a story, a plot, and a few twists when we find out he is a clone and has a twin brother named Rico that wants to drestroy everything! We have Rob Schneider for comic relief and that pretty cool robot thing along with those religious crazy cannibals. DREDD doesnt have any of that and I was ok with it. DREDD is darker, more serious, and isnt political.
DREDD opens with a voice over of Dredd explaining how in the future 800m people live in Mega City which goes from Boston to DC. Everything outside the city walls is a wasteland. Judges are trying to control the chaos inside the walls and we go immediately into a chase scene.
Dredd: "Rookie you are being evaluated. If you lose your weapon you fail. If you get kidnapped you fail. If you die you fail."
Rookie: "Ok"
Then The Raid: Redemption starts...
Remember a few months ago how I told you to go see this bad ass martial arts movie where this cop has to make it to the top floor of an apartment complex to take out a drug lord crime person while everyone in the building is told to kill em? DREDD is the saaaaaaame thing. Only difference is DREDD takes place in the future, has to go up 200 stories instead of 30, and its all about the guns not hand to hand combat.
This DREDD movie is all action all the time. This thing is straight out Rated R and I loved it. I loved every fucken bullet of it. This is an awesome action film. The 3D made it better as it wasnt the cheesy kind that throws shit at the audience. There was a lot of depth. The drug in the film also helped the 3D and the action scenes. The drug these people take makes everything go really slow so the "slow-mo" scenes of people getting fucked up were great. The kills were very graphic.
Im really happy that the producers of this film decided to make a Rated R action film and not some bitch ass PG-13 one. PG-13 says "This movie wont be as good as it could have been.".
The drug lord is played by Lena Headey (300, Sarah Connor) and she is pretty brutal. Very violent and hands on.
The CG, the action, and the 3D were all really good in this film. We need to see more films like this. We need to see more Rated R films. The whole idea of a PG-13 film is smart in terms of money bc it gives the producers a wider audience to rape but the quality of the film suffers so much.
Overall Id recommend you see this in September BUT keep in mind that what I reviewed was a SCREENER and the film can change in the next 2 months. Remember my review of Sucker Punch? Then my film retraction of it? That movie got fucked over.
I guess thats all for now.

The new paper, from a group of scientists writing in the journal Sleep and Biological Rhythms, surveyed 264 university students about their sleep habits and frequency of nightmares, defined as "dysphoric dreams associated with feelings of threat, anxiety, fear or terror."
The scientists, led by Yavuz Selvi at the Yuzuncu Yil University in Van, Turkey, used a measure known as the Van Dream Anxiety Scale to assess the rate of bad dreams. Specifically, study participants were asked to rate their frequency of experiencing nightmares on a scale from zero to 4, corresponding to never and always, respectively.
On average, individuals who described themselves as evening types had a score of 2.10, whereas their morning-type equivalents averaged 1.23 on the scale, a significant difference according to the authors of the study.

The Constitution of the Republic of Malawi
The Republic Constitution of Malawi provides for the office of the Secretary to Cabinet ( Chief Secretary to Government) whose head is appointed by President as a public officer to manage the Cabinet Office publicly known as the Office of the President and Cabinet - OPC ( Republic Constitution: 13 of 2001). The Cabinet Office subject to the Cabinet directions is mandated by the Constitution to arrange the business and keep the minutes of the Cabinet; convey the decisions of the cabinet to the appropriate authorities or persons. Such authorities include such Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
The Constitution provides for the Office of Secretary to Cabinet to take charge of Cabinet operations and by that the facilitation of implementation of Cabinet decisions that include the promotion of the welfare of the people of Malawi. The Constitution of the Republic of Malawi provides for the existence of a public service, comprising the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary. Chapter III of the Constitution provides for Fundamental Principles which include the need to introduce measures which will guarantee accountability, transparency, personal integrity and financial probity and which by virtue of their effectiveness and transparency will strengthen confidence in public institutions. This obligation includes long-term investment in health, education, economy and social development programmes (Constitution of Malawi: Section 13 {n}) and the active promotion of the welfare and development of the people of Malawi by progressively adopting appropriate sector-specific policies and legislation as well as lawful and procedurally fair administrative systems and actions.
Public Service Act (PSA) - 1994
The PSA (1994) places the leadership and management of the Public Service in the Secretary to the Cabinet (Chief Secretary to the Government). The Public Service Act (1994) Section 16 further provides that the Secretary to Cabinet shall be the head of the Public Service. The Secretary to Cabinet therefore is responsible, subject to the PSA (1994), for the overall management and administration of the public service. This responsibility includes;
Formulating, directing and coordinating the overall national policy in relation to the public service taking into account principles and criteria for recruitment, retention, advancement and termination of service, deployment utilisation and performance evaluation;
Providing leadership on all matters pertaining to the public service including the development of a positive image of the public service; and
Developing specific public service goals and priorities, to be achieved within a medium and long term time frame among others.
The PSA (1994) makes provision for the management and administration of the Public Service and for matters ancillary thereto. Subject to the Constitution and various provision of the PSA Act (1994), the management of the public service shall be based on modern and appropriate management concepts and techniques within the framework which meets the basic requirements for efficient and effective delivery of services to the public, concern for the welfare of public officers, as employees; and adhere to law.
The Part II of the PSA (1994) provides for fundamental principles for the administration of the public service. Section III outlines the character of the Public Service and key among these are that the public service shall:
- Aim to deliver services to the public in an efficient and effective manner;
- Be an instrument for generating and maintaining public confidence in the Government;
- Be guided by the concerns of the public interest and of the welfare of the public in the delivery of services and the formulation and implementation of development projects; and
- Aim to achieve and maintain the highest degree of integrity and proper conduct amongst the personnel.
The following other legal instruments while do not specify the mandates of OPC, they are critical in creating a framework for effective public service management in areas of financial prudence, public accountability and integrity.
The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) 2003
The PFMA 2003 provides the framer on how public finances shall be generated and appropriated for the good of the public. The PFMA 2003 vests the responsibility and accountability of public resources in the Controlling Officers.
The Public Audit Act (2003)
The mandate for the Central Internal Audit Unit is through section 10 of the Public Financial Management Act 2003 which makes controlling officers responsible for the internal control framework and for an effective internal audit function.
The Corrupt Practices Act (2004)
Corruption is a major threat to the socio-economic development of Malawi. To deal with challenges corruption possess, the Government of Malawi passed the Corrupt Practices Act in 2004. This Act is critical in providing a framework that will ensure that that integrity, transparency and accountability in delivery of public services are upheld. OPC has subsequently spearheaded in the fight against corruption through providing leadership in establishing Institutional Integrity Committees, review and development of relevant public service management rules and regulations, for example the Malawi Public Service Regulations and the Code of Ethics and Conduct.
Legal Frameworks for Public Service Management
Public Service management in Malawi is guided by a number of legal instruments. Key among these are the Constitution of the Republic of Malawi (1994); the Public Service Act (1994); the Public Service Finance Management Act (2003); the Public Audit Act (2004); the Public Procurement Act (2003); and the Corrupt Practices Act (2004). There are a number of Sector specific legal instruments.
The Constitution of the Republic of Malawi (1994) and the Public Service Act (1994) give mandate to the Secretary to Cabinet to provide the overall management and administration of the public service.

yeah this is aoty
Digging: Luigi Nono - A Pierre; Quando stanno morendo;
It's close at least. Man, I'm totally entranced by this record!
Too bad it's only available in a vinyl boxset...
Digging: Interpol - El Pintor
Niiice. Can't listen now but I've been pretty excited to see how this turns out. Haven't been too crazy about DMZ's latest stuff but I'm expecting this to be good (because Mala still is).
Hey TM, did you already check out Blawan's latest? It's really rad, as usual.
Album's good
New Blawan is a mild disappointment
Digging: Banks - Goddess
Blawan's latest is nothing groundbreaking, but it's still a very nice collection of tunes. His percussion is wonderful as usual.
This on the other hand is just pure bliss.
I bought the vinyl of new blawan so I'm waiting for it to arrive before I listen.
blawan sux stop talkin bout him
Blawan is one of the best producers around these days. His percussion sounds are practically unrivaled.
his he she he and her was as bland as can be. his percussion sounds are different, not unrivaled
I agree with clercqie, I mean it's maybe not "unrivaled", but it consistently either hits harder or is more unique than what the majority of other producers are doing. I haven't listened to his latest EP yet so I can't make a statement on that, but "Why They Hide Their Bodies..." I know is sick.
I don't necessarily think he's in another league generally than his fellow producers, but a lot of other producers in the same genres rely a lot more on melody so they don't really need to match his percussion, but that's kind of what makes him unique. I think even when he isn't at his peak, his stuff is always interesting to listen to.
Some of what he's done is kind of undeniably impressive though - Getting Me Down, What You Do With What You Have, etc.
But whatever, this isn't a Blawan thread here, it's about Mala's album.
Yeah agreed. My word choices aren't always the best, but what can you do?
And this album is seriously blowing my mind the more I listen to it. Instant genre classic if I ever heard one.
I owe it more listens, but so far - not so much for me. I'm thinking 3.5, with admittedly a good chance of growing. I just gave it one quick listen so it's not really definitive, and I mean it's good stuff, but I don't really see what elevates this beyond just good. Definitely satisfied with the release and all, but not thinking it's a modern classic or anything like that.
Still, leagues beyond anything Coki's done in years.

Found September 05, 2013 on BlackSportsOnline:
PLAYERS: Geno Smith, Mark Sanchez
TEAMS: New York Jets
TEAMS: New York Jets
Geno Smith didn't have anywhere close to a stellar performance in preseason. In fact, in his first start he threw 3 interceptions and ran out the back of the end zone for a safety. At this point, anyone would agree that Smith needs all the help he can get. Well CBS Sports is reporting that Geno feels otherwise. In a recent interview, Smith was asked how he was going to prepare for the matchup against star Bucs CB Darrelle Revis and he replied: "I mean, I don't think it's necessary. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. You pretty much get the idea of what kind of player he is based on his reputation." Yes you read that correctly folks. Smith doesn't feel that he needs to prepare for Revis because he already knows his reputation. I'm just as flabbergasted as you are, but it gets better. Smith added that he was going to rely on information from the team and former Jets starting QB Mark Sanchez. "I mean, we all know about Revis. Basically from talking to Mark, talking to our personnel guys around here. If you talk to anyone in this locker room they'll let you know when healthy [Revis is] one of the best if not the best corner in the game. He's the guy you definitely have to pay attention to on the field." As it turns out, Darrelle Revis doesn't take Geno Smith idly and his response to Smith's comments proves as such. "I don't understand why [laughing] he didn't study me? [Laughing more] Because I will be on the opposite side. But I don't know what their gameplan or their preparation is. And personally I don't know what Geno's preparation is but I would hope if you're playing against another opponent you should [laughing once more] study everybody on the opposing team. I'm studying him. [still laughing] Just to let him know, I'm studying him." I'm not exactly sure what Geno Smith is thinking, but the Jets should either put a muzzle on him or give him some tips for dealing with the media. There are just some things you don't say out loud.

Hunter walked downstairs. He shined the small beam of light around the basement. There was nothing there. Absolutely nothing at all. There was a small drain in the middle of the floor where it dipped down ever so slightly. Hunter assumed that the lights didn't work.
He shined the beam of light around the small bare room and saw nothing. He walked over cautiously to the center of the room looking around. He swivelled in a small circle shining the light around. He sighed annoyed.
Suddenly, he heard heavy footsteps slowly walking down the dusty stairs. He quickly shut off the flashlight hoping whoever it was didn't see him. He stood stock still in the pitch black listening to the footsteps move further down the stairs.
His heart started to beat faster until he thought it was going to burst from his chest. He was trembling from head to toe. Suddenly the footsteps stopped as they reached the landing. Hunter barely dared breathe let alone move.
He heard the sound of something metallic being pulled from somewhere and he stiffened. He didn't dare turn the flashlight back on. Out of nowhere a knife came down onto his back and he cried out in pain. He felt warm blood ooze over his flesh from the gash the knife left in the center of his back.
Hunter didn't care anymore he turned the flashlight back on and made a run for the stairs. As he was running, he fell and landed hard onto the concrete floor. As he landed with a loud 'THUD' he felt a sharp pain from his head and back all the way down his spine. He tasted the metallic tang of blood on his tongue.
He tried to scramble back up to his feet but the other person there had pulled him back down covering his mouth with one hand he said in a calm voice, "I shall make this as painless as possible." Hunter began to cower and try to struggle.
The knife came out of nowhere and was thrust into Hunter's chest. Hunter let out a dying breath and his eyes clouded over as he relaxed. The unknown person got up and disappeared up the steps. The only thing to be heard now was the steady drip, drip, drip of Hunter's blood pooling around the dip in the floor and into the drain.
could you see it happening? that's what i was going for...hey i know i'm kinda weird in the head but that's why you love me! laughs manically okay review please. grins and then walks off leaving you in complete darkness

Herriman » Forty-thousand Mormon missionaries phoned home for Mother's Day.
It's one of the few times during their two years that missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are allowed such personal contact with their families.
The annual Mother's Day call isn't for the missionaries' benefit. It's for their moms. It addresses one of the great ironies of raising an LDS boy: Just about the time you start to like him, he leaves town.
On Sunday, Sheldon and Lori Woods of Herriman telephoned their son Cameron, who is nearing the end of his two-year mission to Korea.
Based on weekly e-mails, Lori says her son has definitely changed during the two years.
But it's been the rare phone calls that have helped her realize he is still Cameron.
"Hearing his voice tells me more about how he's doing than just seeing words on a screen," she told me.
LDS church spokesman Scott Trotter said the annual Mother's Day phone call is not mandated by church headquarters. Rather it's left entirely up to the presidents of individual missions.
"But I'd be surprised if there was a mission president anywhere who didn't allow his missionaries to call home on Mother's Day," Trotter said.
Missionaries are allowed to call home on Mother's Day and Christmas. The rules for both calls are the same, though: an hour max, and only family. No girlfriends, unless, by some coincidence, she happens to be the one who answers the phone.
The church hasn't always been so tolerant of phoning home. Years ago, any form of contact with home was restricted entirely to the mail. If you wanted to whine about how tough mission life was, it took more than a week for someone to counter with, "There, there, dear."
When it was time Sunday, Lori Woods dialed Korea and got Cameron on the phone. As she started talking, she walked over to the microwave and set the timer for an hour. When I left, she was talking to Cameron about how his pants were fitting.
I called home once during my own mission to South America. I can't remember why. It wasn't Mother's Day, Christmas or even my mother's birthday. If I had to guess, it was because I needed money.
In the age before e-mail, instant messaging and satellite telecommunication, connecting to Salt Lake City from Nalgas de Vaca required an hour's wait in a telephone cabana.
Although it contained most of the pueblo's functioning phones, the cabana wasn't a busy place. In addition to my companion, the operator and a couple of soldiers, there was also dog.
While I waited, I thought about my family. I'd been gone 14 months by then and hadn't missed them much. I thought it was because I was too busy serving the Lord. Truthfully, it's because I was emotionally closed off.
When the operator said the call was going through, I handed her a huge wad of pesos, went into the booth and picked up the receiver.
Six thousand miles away, the family was just finishing Sunday dinner.
A series of clicks, a few rings and my father answered the phone.
Me: "Hey, it's Robert.
Him: "It hasn't been two years yet. What did you do?"
My mom grabbed the phone and started to cry. Only then did I realize how important the call was. I was talking to the one person who actually knew me as something more than "elder" or a white shirt and a tie.
I needed that.

When Ford comes to the Monterey Historic Automobile Races this August as the featured marque, I'll be there. A hundred years of automotive history is bound to be something to see.
I'll have a special feeling about the Shelby Cobra and Ford GT40. I was there in the 1960s when these cars came to race in Europe, and I remember the people who came with them. Some of them are still heroes and some of them have been overlooked, but all of them changed the way everyone in the world thought about American cars.
When the Ford GT was announced in the summer of 1963, all of us knew that something pretty interesting was going to happen. I had been in Europe since 1954, taking pictures of racing for American magazines. I'd graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1952 (it was then a brand-new name for what had been a modest teacher's college), and I was caught up in sports cars, just as we all were in those days. I'd owned a couple of MG-TDs, and I'd been to the Pebble Beach road races. Meanwhile, I had been fascinated by photography as a kid, and during World War II I had made scrapbooks of W. Eugene Smith's combat photography, which was published regularly in Life. So I decided that the thing to do would be to move to Europe and take pictures of motor racing. I drove from race to race (first in a VW Microbus and later in a Porsche 356), making pictures with my Leica IIIF 35mm and Rollei 2 1/4.
The Ford GT really looked gorgeous when it was first revealed in London on April 1, 1964. There was a lot to learn about aerodynamics in those days, though, and Jo Schlesser completely destroyed the first prototype at the Le Mans trials a week later. Three GT40s with 4.2-liter V8s from the Indy 500 program were on the grid for the race itself in June, but the cars all broke, and we were so disappointed that we almost overlooked the Cobra Daytona coupe that Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant drove to win the GT class. When the Ford GT40 reappeared at Le Mans in 1965, there were four cars with 4.7-liter V8s, but the last-minute decision to field two more cars with 7.0-liter stock car engines complicated the whole effort and we were all embarrassed when none of the cars finished.
Finally everything came good in 1966 with the 7.0-liter MkII, although the three-car formation finish (which the Le Mans organizers suggested to the Ford team managers as the race came to a close) caused a terrible scandal because it looked so pretentiously American. The MkIV victory in 1967 proved Ford's dominance. Some people also forget that a John Wyer-prepared GT40 won Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, which made it four victories in a row for Ford.
It was all a very American effort, as if the organization and technology of the NASA space program (very much in the news in those days) had come to motorsport. The bodywork was designed in the wind tunnel. The engines were developed on dynamometers that could duplicate a lap at Le Mans. The suspensions were designed with IBM computers. The program had its highs and lows, and there was a predictable clash with traditional European motorsport culture, but American sports cars were never again dismissed as second-class efforts.
When I look back on those times now, it's the drivers that I remember most. They were the very best sports car drivers in the world, and we were all amazed that they should be driving for a single team. As I look through my photographic files, there are so many that deserve recognition: Ronnie Bucknum, the SCCA club racer from Southern California who was Honda's first Formula One driver; Jerry Grant, the tall USRRC driver from Washington and who was practically Dan Gurney's twin brother when it came to fun and jokes; Dick Hutcherson, the stock car driver who went on to become a racing car constructor himself; Denis Hulme, then just on the verge of becoming Formula One world champion; Roger McCluskey and Lloyd Ruby, oval-track drivers trying to find their way in Europe; Chris Amon, who always lived a little too hard; Pedro Rodriguez, so quiet and so heedless of speed when he won Le Mans in 1968 with John Wyer's GT40; Jacky Ickx, who won the first of his Le Mans trophies in 1969 with the very same Wyer-prepared car; Mark Donohue, Peter Revson and Skip Scott, who were always overlooked by Ford because they were thought to be just weekend sports car drivers; and Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt, two of the best-ever drivers from America.
Of all the people involved with the Ford effort at Le Mans, I remember best Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney and Phil Hill, Bruce McLaren and Ken Miles.
Bob Bondurant was Carroll Shelby's last choice for the Cobra team when it came to Europe in 1964, and maybe that made him work harder. He was always studying every track he came to; it was something he learned from Masten Gregory, he said. He won the 1965 GT championship for Shelby almost single-handedly. I remember him most for the 1964 Le Mans, in which he and Gurney drove the Cobra Daytona coupe to fourth place, winning the GT class. Bondo drove a GT40 at Le Mans in 1965. You could tell that he had been a Corvette racer during his early days in California, because he always had an attractive woman nearby.
Dan Gurney was bigger than life, exactly what Europeans thought an American should be. He was open, friendly and almost always seemed to be having a great time. Europeans would try to get close to him just to see him smile and hear him laugh. Wherever something interesting might be happening, there he'd be, just out of sheer enthusiasm for anything new. He was always the fastest driver on the track, and that's why it took so long for him to drive slowly enough to do well at Le Mans. When he won in 1967 with the MkIV, Gurney actually pulled off the track and stopped for a minute or so because Mike Parkes had been tailing him in the Ferrari P4, trying to goad him into a faster, car-breaking pace. Parkes pulled over with Gurney and waited behind him, and they had a little battle of wills as the other cars went past. Finally Parkes raced off, and Gurney drove on to win the race.
Phil Hill was the first to drive the GT40 in competition, and he personified the GT40 program for most of us. He was part of the same generation of post-war sports car enthusiasts that we were, and when he won the 1961 Formula One championship, we felt as if our enthusiasm for sports cars had been justified. By 1964, Hill had already won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times, and he was considered to be the best long-distance driver in the world. But people had forgotten just how fast he could be. When the first GT40 with a 7.0-liter V8 arrived at Le Mans in 1965, the car was literally assembled at the track, but Hill took it out and turned a practice lap more than 5 seconds faster than the Ferrari P2s. I also remember Phil for his willingness to tell stories no matter what the circumstances, and it led to all those interviews with broadcaster Jim Mackay on ABC's "Wild World of Sports."
Bruce McLaren had been designated the primary test driver for the Ford program from the moment that Eric Broadley had been hired after Le Mans in 1963 to transform his mid-engine Lola GT into the Ford GT. The Ford engineers took testing very, very seriously, and McLaren was the beneficiary, right in the middle of all those conversations between Roy Lunn, Ford's chief engineer, and the tire engineers from Firestone and Goodyear. All the professionalism of Team McLaren's Can-Am effort in the late 1960s came directly from this experience. In person, McLaren was boyish and quiet, just age 26 as the GT40 program began but already very ambitious, just as so many racers from New Zealand have been.
Ken Miles became the lead driver in the development of the GT40 when Carroll Shelby took over the car's racing program. Miles had been a tank mechanic in the British army during World War II, then came to the United States in 1952 and became a service manager for an MG dealer in Los Angeles. He built a couple of small racing sports cars himself, and everyone aspired to drive as quickly and smoothly as he did. He was so widely admired for his knowledge that he was elected as president of Cal Club (an organization which ultimately was incorporated into the SCCA). The Cobra Daytona coupe was really his car, and he put thousands of miles of testing into the MkII. He was killed in August 1966 while testing the J-1 (the prototype for the MkIV) at Riverside International Raceway. Miles was very tough-minded, and he could be curt and abrasive with people who wasted his time.
He was driving better than ever in 1966 at the age of 48, and he was leading McLaren's MkII at Le Mans when he was asked to slow down for a staged finish. He didn't seem to bear any grudges when McLaren was declared the victor. Miles didn't have the trophy, but all the right people knew who had been the best driver on that day. In a strange way, Ken Miles liked it better that way. The best drivers always care more about private respect than public recognition.
Carroll Shelby was just a boy from red-dirt Texas, but all those years when he was racing for patron John Edgar and Aston Martin's John Wyer had taught him about the finer things in life. I remember a great dinner with Shelby at the Hotel Moderne at Le Mans in 1966 when we were joined by John Holman from Holman & Moody, the NASCAR outfit that had prepared three cars that year. It was pretty interesting to hear Shelby and Holman telling wild stories at a table in France. All these years later, the credit for the Ford program at Le Mans has been properly distributed to people like Leo Beebe and Roy Lunn, but we all believed at the time that it was really Shelby's ambition that drove the program forward and made it work.
By 1966 I had been in Europe for a dozen years, and I was ready to come home to America. I had improved as a photographer, but I wasn't quite sure what I had to show for all of it. I had lots of black-and-white film of old racing cars, but there didn't seem to be much future in that, because everyone wanted color pictures of new racing cars.
Then something happened while I was at Le Mans in 1966. I was taking pictures of the Gurney/Grant GT40 MkII, and I noticed another photographer in the frame. It was Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the most famous art photographers in the world. His 1952 book, "The Decisive Moment," had made spontaneous snapshots with the 35mm camera an art form and had been very influential in my own work. He was notoriously shy about being photographed, and I took his picture so quickly that I forgot to focus.
It was important to me that Cartier-Bresson was photographing the same subject that I was. Like me, Cartier-Bresson believed he had found one of those decisive moments, which he defined as "the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression."
Like me, Cartier-Bresson had found such a moment in motorsport. When Ford came to Le Mans, it had proven that American sports cars and American drivers could compete at the top level of racing. At last we knew that we were just as good as they were. And whenever I see a Cobra Daytona coupe or a Ford GT40 today, I still get the same feeling.

I just got back from the post office, posting my nearly-one-year-old niece's birthday present. It being a lunchtime, the queue was rather lengthy, but I was not bored. Oh no. Because throughout the queuing process I had Australia Post's bookshelves to peruse.
Back in the office I am left pondering the choices on the shelves. If a store stocks titles such as "How to be comfy" and "Great Australian Shearing Stories" (next to "Great Australian Droving Stories") what does it say about its customers?
Their marketing collateral was targetting a modern crowd (endless posters telling you how to post things if you were an online seller). So what is with the books??
[confession: I have seen the Shearing Stories on two separate occasions now, and have to confess to being rather intruiged, can anyone recommend it?]

I would have to advise against the purchase (or even borrowing) of Great Shearing Stories. Not that I have read it, but I have had the opportunity to experience shearing in all its glory and my opinion is that its really not something that warrants firstly the superlative "great" or secondly the telling of its stories. I know I'm a biased Aussie country chick but seriously its generally a hot tin shed with smelly men swearing at woolly beasts. I think researching the song "Click go the shears" is all you really need!

Although I agree good shearing stories must be few and far between... I grew up on a sheep farm and our sheep were probably not sheared as often as they should be. Therefore, the ram's 'assets' were somewhat disguised by the wool.
We used to watch the shearing take place as there wasn't really anything more exciting to do on the farm. My sister (5 at the time) was mesmerised by the process and my parents had to provide commentary throughout. As the wool was removed, it became clear that the ram looked different 'down there' to the other sheep. She then of course asks "what are they?". My mum replies "they're his testicals sweetheart"... To which my sister quickly replies "how come they're so much bigger than daddy's?"....

Reports: Shane Victorino agrees to 3-year, $39M deal with Boston Red Sox
Shane Victorino has agreed to a three-year, $39 million deal with the Boston Red Sox, pending a physical, according to reports.
The figures of the deal are the same as the one the Red Sox agreed to with Mike Napoli on Monday.
Victorino started last season with the Philadelphia Phillies before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers just before the July 31 trade deadline. The "Flyin' Hawaiian" had a down year, hitting .255 with 11 home runs and 55 RBIs.
After playing center field most of his career in Philadelphia, Victorino played left field in 48 of his 53 games with the Dodgers. The switch hitter will play right field alongside an outfield consisting of Jacoby Ellsbury and Jonny Gomes.

Late night stream where I draw while trying to finish off a large frappe
I'll be doing one or two wotter asks and then…if my internet still works maybe more stuff
I'll start at 10:05PM, maybe later, since I'm helping mom with something (I'm in the chat though)
He's not a bad kid, y'know? Besides, squads usually start with three members and go on from there. We woulda had to find a third eventually.
Paulie, I think.
Devon and I don't really get along. Don't really know why, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to warm up to someone quickly.
I hope, someday, we could be good friends too!

Saturday brought nothing the Huntsman Center hadn't seen before: One team went long stretches without scoring and its center air-balled a hook shot, that team losing by more than 20 points and digging deeper to find a new rock bottom.
For once, it wasn't the Utes.
HighlightsUtah improves to 5-5 at home this season with 64-43 win.
» Cedric Martin ties a career high with five 3-pointers and the junior guard leads the Utes with 17 points.
» The Utes and Sun Devils both play without their choice point guards: Josh Watkins was dismissed by Utah this week, and ASU leading scorer Trent Lockett did not play due to a sprained ankle.

Instead, Utah never trailed as it capped a week of turmoil with triumph, a 64-43 win over Arizona State in front of an announced crowd of 9,092.
"It feels good to be on the other end," Utah guard Chris Hines said.
If there's one thing the Utes know, it's blowout losses; they've suffered no fewer than 11 of them. Throughout this rebuilding season the Utes (5-14, 2-5 Pac-12) have been considered the worst major-conference team in America. Against the Sun Devils, who were without leading scorer Trent Lockett due to injury, Utah unleashed months of unfulfilled potential.
The Utes clamped down on defense, opening the game 12-0 before Arizona State scored.
They started the second half on a 10-0 run as well. The Utes made 52.5 percent of their shots, and were 9-of-17 on 3-pointers.
Not bad for a team that dismissed its leading scorer, point guard Josh Watkins, for undisclosed violations of team rules.
"What happened this week only made us stronger, I think," said junior center Jason Washburn, who finished with 10 points and six rebounds before fouling out. "We went into both games this week thinking we were going to win."
Utah lost on Thursday to Arizona, 77-51, suffering its ninth loss by more than 20 points.
Against the Sun Devils, Cedric Martin scored 17 points, including five made 3-pointers, which tied a career high. He led four Utes in double figures, including Watkins' replacement, freshman point guard Kareem Storey.
In just his third career start, Storey bolstered his 12 points with six assists and just one turnover.
"That's the kind of ratio we're looking for," coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "He did a nice job of running the show for us."
The Utes' lead grew to as much as 28 points, as the Utes familiar woes seemed to rub off on Arizona State. The Sun Devils shot just 38.6 percent from the field on their way to a season-low points total. Through 11 minutes in the second half, they had scored just two points.
The result was Utah's most lopsided win of the season, and biggest victory since beating Grand Canyon by 24 in last year's season opener.
"The feeling's kind of indescribable," Washburn said. "We got a lead early, something we're not always used to and we kept it. Not only did we keep it, but we kept building on it."
The question now for the Utes is how they will build off the victory. They travel this week to play at UCLA and USC, two struggling teams. The Trojans, in fact, entered Saturday at 0-6 in Pac-12 play, as the only team below Utah and ASU in the conference standings.
The value of Utah's win, though, couldn't be overstated Saturday.
"It was good for our confidence," Washburn said. "It was good for our team."

Chris Davis triggers four runs to push Orioles past Indians
Baltimore, MD, United States (4E Sports) – Chris Davis homered and had four RBIs to lead the Baltimore Orioles in beating the Cleveland Indians, 8-4 Friday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Adam Jones had three hits and scored three runs and to help snap the Indians' four-game winning streak.
The Orioles' Bud Norris (3-4) gave up four runs, six hits and three walks in six innings to earn the win.
Jason Giambi hit a three-run homer to give the Indians a 4-3 lead.
Nelson Cruz put Baltimore up 1-0 with a shot to right-center in the second inning, and Davis doubled to right to make it 3-0 in the third.
The Indians responded with a four-run fourth with Lonnie Chisenhall doubling in a run and Giambi hitting a homer.
But Davis followed an infield hit by Jones with a shot to right field in the fifth to give the lead back to the Orioles at 5-4.
In the seventh, Orioles made three unearned runs after Mark Lowe's throwing error allowed a run by Jones followed by an RBI groundout by J.J. Hardy and a run-scoring double by Delmon Young.
The Indians' T.J. House (0-1) allowed five runs and 11 hits in six innings.

NEW YORK (UPI) — A study of the genetic makeup of bedbugs has been launched by researchers who say they are concerned the pests will become as common as cockroaches.
To understand the evolutionary history of both bedbugs and cockroaches, a team of researchers has begun a yearlong study of the insects' genomes, The Wall Street Journal reported this week.
"Bedbugs and cockroaches look pretty much the same as they did millions of year ago," said Dr. Mark Siddall, curator of invertebrates at the American Museum of Natural History in New York who is working with the team. "But they've grown up with us, almost like companion animals."
Bedbugs came to America decades ago. The tiny creatures are known for their nasty bites and their resistance to pesticides.
"Bed bugs are what cockroaches were several decades ago and it is a concern," added Coby Schal, a professor of entomology at North Carolina State University.
Sergios-Orestis Kolokotronis, a professor at Fordham University, is looking at a group of bedbugs collected at Fort Dix, N.J., in the 1970s. By comparing them with the fossils of ancient Egyptian bedbugs, he hopes to determine where they originated in Europe.

Accra - Ghana's football star Asamoah Gyan has retired from the national team, the Black Stars, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed in a statement issued here.
The Al Ain star sent a letter to the GFA late Friday night informing them of his decision, which had the "full support of family and friends".
The GFA statement said Gyan was frustrated over the verbal abuse he has received since playing for the country at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
The GFA talked with Gyan to convince him to reconsider his decision, the statement added. Gyan, who has scored 28 goals in 59 games for Ghana, cited the "intolerable" abuse he suffered after the Black Stars exit from the recent African Cup of Nations as the reason for his sudden announcement.
The 26-year-old netted on his debut against Somalia nine years ago.
Gyan became "public enemy No. 1" after missing a crucial penalty in Ghana's 1-0 semifinal defeat to Zambia, with many Ghanaian football lovers accusing him for the loss.
The penalty he missed was similar to the one he missed at the quarterfinal against Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup, Xinhua reports.
Gyan has said that it was "an incredible honour" to represent his country having made his debut as a 17-year-old in 2003.

The Journey - August 1, 2012
The Generous Gift of Community | James 1:27 | Devotional
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
When you hear the words "Big Talker," a certain person probably comes to your mind. The phrase describes a person who is full of stories of accomplishment, but little to show that he has actually gotten anything done. In the words of the country song, "a little less talk and a lot more action" is what God is looking for.
God is looking for people whose spirituality produces more than big talk. "Pure and faultless" religion puts love into action by looking after people in distress. "Pure and faultless" religion follows hard after Christ in obedience, instead of breathing in the spiritual pollution of the world.
So, how about you? Do you posses a "religion" that the Father accepts? Or…are you just a big talker?
Father, make us men and women of action, empowered by your Spirit and sold out to your cause! In Jesus name. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I admit I don't usually feel much like a "super-conqueror" would feel. But I realize that the more I focus on what You have done, rather than worrying about what I have done, the more I sense the freedom to feel victorious. Thank You for being the decisive factor in every battle I face. Remind me to keep trusting You in the battles I face today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

NFL Betting: Best and Worst Teams
NFL Betting: Best and Worst Against the Spread Teams
10/3/13 in NFL | GeorgeMon | 159 respect
The Seattle Seahawks are the best betting team in the NFL.
ATS records may be one of the most important parts of handicapping a football game. Most bettors might look at a team's straight-up record and assume that the best teams in the league are also the teams that cover the most spreads. But the cold-hard-facts are that the best NFL teams are not necessarily the teams with the best ATS records. The Denver Broncos could go 14-2 this season but if they do not cover the majority of their spreads than does it really matter to gamblers? Watching football games on a Sunday afternoon is great, but gamblers only gamble to make money.
Let's take a closer look at the best and worst ATS records and see which NFL teams are really making money for bettors and which are not.
The Best
Seattle Seahawks: 4-0
Tennessee Titans: 3-0-1
San Diego Chargers: 3-0-1
New York Jets: 3-1
Oakland Raiders: 3-1
Buffalo Bills: 3-1
Outside of the Seattle Seahawks the best ATS teams in the league are the middle-of-the-road teams that no one expects to be contenders come playoff time. The Titans, Chargers, Jets, Raiders and Bills are not projected to be playoff teams and a 9-7 record is probably the best that any of them can hope for. But these teams are a prime example why ATS records are so important for bettors. At first glance no one in their right mind should be betting on the Raiders or the Jets, but they are two of the teams with the most value.
The Worst
Jacksonville Jaguars: 0-4
Houston Texans: 0-4
Pittsburgh Steelers: 0-4
St. Louis Rams: 0-4
New York Giants: 0-4
Philadelphia Eagles: 1-3
The only real surprise here is that the Houston Texans are 0-4 against the spread. Houston is one of the better teams in the league and is expected to be a playoff team at minimum and could even be a Super Bowl contender in the AFC. The rest of the teams on the worst list are the usual suspects of bad teams. The Jaguars might go seven or eight games before they cover a spread and are so bad that they might not win a game all season. The Eagles have a high-flying offense and will probably continue to be over-valued by the sportsbooks all season and will remain one of the worst ATS teams in the league.

Jeanne Biog, a third grader at Scotchtown Hills Elementary School, is back home Wednesday after she didn't show up at her Laurel home Tuesday night.
Her family called police, who launched a massive search, with bloodhounds, a helicopter and police in cruisers and on foot patrol.
It turns out, Biog had left her sister and a friend after school and went to a park. Then she tells FOX 5, she left there and went back to school, where she slept in a girls' bathroom, woke up in the morning and ate some cereal in the school cafeteria. That is where one of her sisters found her.
Berthe Moune, Biog's aunt, says the little girl is somewhat of a loner. She was brought here four years ago from her native Cameroon after her mother died.
Police are still looking into the circumstances of how the girl disappeared and was later found.
Her family says they are working with counselors at her school and think grief may be a partial explanation for her going missing.

Lifelike - So Electric (by neros77)
or maybe not terribly interesting, but good enough for me to feel compelled to write something about it on tumblr!
after a long and confusing career journey through my 20's, i've arrived at 26 and found my chosen career path: public relations!
i didn't necessarily need a vocational test (meaning, myers-briggs), but i was really just curious. my mom had actually made the recommendation over Christmas that i check it out (also suggesting to meet men i should go to church).
so, at 9:30 last night, after finishing the 2nd episode into season 3 of Game of Thrones, i arrived at 'career fitter' vocational testing.
results: liz is a faciliator. sympathetic! synergetic! other words like upbeat, active, responsible, social, creative and even-tempered also came up.
on the negatives: i enjoy speaking/working with others, but intrinsically assume everyone happens to know what i'm talking about without any rhyme/reason.
Try not to assume that others always understand what you are communicating to them. Remember you are an abstract communicator by nature, and your tendency may be to think that others instinctively know and accept what you are saying; but do not be surprised or offended when your position or beliefs are not comprehended or accepted.
When others are not compelled to receive your ideas, resist the temptation to feel as though you have somehow failed. If someone questions your values or intentions about a matter, remember to not think your honor or credibility is at issue. If your subordinates or co-workers don't always work as a team, try not to take it personally or feel you have to work twice as hard to get them back in line. In fact, you may likely make others feel that they are not just going against you, but against the ethical integrity of the entire organization. If a problem exists between you and others, avoid your preference to ignore its existence or "sweep it under the rug", and make a concerted effort to lessen your extreme sensitivity to disapproval and criticism. Finally, when a goal or project is not reached or fails, resist entertaining feelings of guilt, inadequacy or failure.
in the workplace, i need to find inspiration in my day to day to tasks, and for some reason enjoy figuring out how things work just for the sake of knowing.
Get more energized by future possibilities, than what is going on in the here and now.
Juggle and think about many things at once.
Find that you are interested in understanding how things are related and interconnected. You see few things as self-evident, always ready to pose the question "what does that mean?
doesn't that mean at this point i ask, 'what does that mean?'
from my point of view, i need to translate my cultural knowledge of washington and the south, hone my specific communications skills that i've picked up at my job and settle into the idea that this the correct path for me. own it, liz.
Here are some valentines for the biology nerds. Love to y'all!

Progress is not the practice of those in the business of sweeping success. Progress overawes—but its work is slow and grim. Progress waits on people to die, and more enlightened people to take their place. Progress works even as the unenlightened abound, but find their ranks thinned and their positions exposed.
Specifically, democratic progress is not revolution and can never be the gospel of people who measures success by complete victories achieved in singular life-times. Instead it is reserved for those who are unrelenting in struggle, patient beyond their mortal coil, and willing to wage wars across generations.

1. Eating is a submissive act. Assume the chef knows what he does well better than you do and ask for a tasting menu.
2. Avoid menus that try to be everything to everybody. The smaller the menu, the better. The perfect restaurant would only have one dish: "We have ramen noodle soup, but it's the best damn ramen noodle soup in New York."
3. Simple is hard to do right. A bad chef with no pride can find a way to fuck up anything.
4. If you see a chicken Caesar, it's time to get up and run.
5. Forget about eating out on weekends; those are amateur nights. Tuesday through Thursday nights around 9:30 is when you should be going out to dinner—you're not going to be in the mosh pit with all the people who are in town to see The Lion King.
I would add to this list that the smaller the restaurant, the better.

February 23, 2007
Valdosta - Meet Jori Hall. She's a 15-year-old freshman at Lowndes County High School who loves softball.
But she's never been able to play the sport, because she was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome as a baby. "It's a failure of the left side of the heart," said Zach Dykes, family friend and member of Delta Chi Fraternity.
"She had her first open heart surgery at three and a half weeks," says Jori's mother Sharon Dunlap.
Since then she's had to commute from Valdosta to Jacksonville to check in with doctors every few months.
Between medical bills and gas bills, the trips are not cheap. "You have deductibles and co-insurances and things that aren't paid and of course, the trips down there. So there are a lot of expenses," Dunlap says.
But her family still finds time to give to the community.
As a way to give back, the Delta Chi Fraternity from Valdosta State University will be hosting a softball tournament in Jori's honor. "We do it for a family in town, locally, every year. It's always a charity event and donations always go to the family," Dykes says.
47 Teams from all over Georgia and Florida are expected to participate in the tournament this weekend. The money raised will go to Jori and her family. "We are hoping to raise close to six grand for this family," he adds.
They were overwhelmed when they heard the fraternity had chosen them for this year's tournament but are happy to have the help. "Being on the receiving end of things is a wonderful thing, but it's just different."
The first pitch to begin this tournament will be thrown by Jori.
The tournament will be held this Saturday at Freedom Park in Valdosta.
The gates open at 8:00 AM.
