Ken Cannon, Kansas' most criminally charged gubernatorial candidate, has beat his first charge in court! The slippery would-be governor was found not guilty by a Salina judge of falsely impersonating a police officer during a telephone conversation ... with a real police officer.
The Reform Party candidate was accused of calling up Salina investigator Sean Furbeck on February 15 and identifying himself as "Officer Schoen" of the Manhattan Police Department. Furbeck then allegedly told Cannon who he was, and Cannon ended the call.
Forget Opening Day. The time to take off work is tomorrow -- the first public day of the 2010 American Royal Barbecue. More than 500 barbecue teams are arriving as you read this, to set up their smokers and gear in the hopes of walking away with an oversized $10,000 check and the title of Grand Champion.
But for those of us who aren't strapping on the aprons this weekend, there's still a lot of barbecue to enjoy. Fat City checked in with the Kansas City Barbecue Society's Ardie Davis -- he'll be the guy in the bowler hat swearing in the judges -- to guide you through the massive event that more than 70,000 people attended last year.

While his condition wasn't released, another fraternity pledge told the LJW "that Fritzie initially was paralyzed from the chest down." Read more after the jump ...
Update IV (11:16 a.m. September 27): The University Daily Kansan pieces together what happened before and after 18-year-old Matt Fritzie suffered a neck injury while diving into a temporary pool at KU's Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) frat house, and it sounds like the party went on after the freshman was airlifted away.

Once upon a time, deep in the bowels of cyberhell, lived a 60-year-old Danish man named Kai Lundstroem Pedersen. In his free time he allegedly enjoyed stalking, threatening, and getting off to prepubescent girls. He waited for unsuspecting prey in chat rooms.
Victim One has entered the room.
The little 11-year-old girl wasn't from cyberhell or Denmark, but from Buchanan County, Missouri. According to a news release from United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri Beth Phillips, here's what allegedly happened next. Pedersen told the young girl to undress in front of her webcam, which she did. Once she was naked, Pedersen started his own webcam, and the horrified damsel turned hers immediately once she saw his nasty self.

Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon's have a lesson for late-night TV viewers: the history of rap. When Timberlake was on Fallon's show to promote The Social Network, the two got to reminiscing about hip-hop tunes from the last thirty years. Of course, since Timberlake's there, the duo broke into a medley that included Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," Beastie Boys' "Paul Revere," Dr. Dre's "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang," Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance," Eminem's "My Name Is," Kanye West's "Gold Digger," and Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind."
The best part of this video? The way that Timberlake and Fallon nail Missy Elliott's backwards chorus on "Work It."

China's army told to prepare to fight: state media
®Copyright MediaCorp
China's armed forces have been instructed to raise their fighting ability this year, amid heightened tensions with Japan over disputed islands.
China's state media reported that the directive came in a document released at the beginning of the year by the People's Liberation Army General Staff on military training for this year.
The report said to prepare for combat, the armed forces must also "vigorously strengthen real-combat-like military training" and intensify efforts to cultivate high-calibre military personnel.
The report made no mention of the dispute with Tokyo over islands in the East China Sea, which are controlled by Japan as the Senkakus but also claimed by China as the Diaoyus.
The maritime dispute intensified last year when the Japanese government nationalised islands in the small chain it did not already own, triggering anger and protests in China.
Both sides have scrambled fighter jets to the area in recent weeks in a further escalation, though no actual clashes have taken place.

GOP Budget Cuts Could Literally Make You Puke: Republicans Propose Slashing Food Safety
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Would you like some salmonella with those budget cuts? If Republicans have their way, food safety could fall casualty to the congressional budget-cutting fervor. Buried in the House GOP's budget bill, which passed last month and would axe $61 billion in spending, are major funding reductions for agricultural inspections. And consumer advocates warn that these cuts could escalate outbreaks of food-borne illnesses.
The House budget bill slashes $88 million from the agency that inspects the country's meat and poultry, which could reduce its operations by 18 percent for the remainder of the year. The cuts to the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service could furlough thousands of inspectors and decrease the number of inspections at the nation's slaughterhouses and meat-processing plants. With fewer inspectors on the job, the quality of inspections could also fall by the wayside, explains David Plunkett, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Science in the Public Interest: "They could be windshield inspections—when they show up, look through the windshield, and then drive off."
Without sufficient monitoring, the risk of tainted meat in the nation's food supply is likely to increase, Plunkett and other advocates say. "If the cows are not slaughtered appropriately and cleanly—if you're not careful, manure is often on the hide," which could in turn contaminate the meat with E. coli, salmonella, and other bacteria, says Chris Waldrop, director of the Food Policy Institute at the Consumer Federation of America. There's also the economic impact to consider: Slaughterhouses may be forced to close if there are big cutbacks in inspections, since such facilities must be inspected daily to remain open. According to the USDA, the cuts would cost the industry some $11 billion in revenue and could raise the price of meat for consumers.
In addition to targeting the USDA, the House GOP's bill also slashes $241 million from the food-safety budget of the Food and Drug Administration, which, among other things, could require the agency to furlough its 8,600 inspectors for an average of more than five weeks. The cuts could also gut the funding for the scientists responsible for examining contaminated products and determining how to detect tainted foods before they make people sick (or worse), according to Tony Corbo, a senior lobbyist for the group Food and Water Watch. And budget rollbacks could result in 10,000 fewer inspections of imported food, less than 1 percent of which is checked in the first place, according to Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), a member of a House appropriations subcommittee overseeing agriculture.
Children, the elderly, and those who are already sick face the greatest risk of becoming ill or dying from contaminated food. The Centers for Disease Control has reported that one out of every six Americans gets sick each year from food-borne illnesses—with 128,000 hospitalized and 3,000 dying from such ailments. In response to the growing public outcry over high profile recalls and deaths, Congress passed a bill in December to strengthen food-safety laws. But lawmakers still need to pass a separate bill to implement the Food Safety Modernization Act, which costs more than $1 billion to enact—money that will be that much harder to come by in the current political climate.
Republicans pushing such rollbacks insist that the country's food supply is safe enough as it is, and they've railed against intrusive federal inspectors. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) has been leading the effort to gut federal food-safety efforts as the new chair of the agriculture subcommittee of the House appropriations committee. "We have a lot of concerns about the necessity of putting 18,000 food police on the streets and the kitchens of America," Kingston told Fox News' Atlanta affiliate after the food-safety overhaul passed last year. He claimed that the country's food supply is "99.99 percent safe," adding: "Do you really need to hire 18,000 federal bureaucrats to tell the private sector what to do?"

A little
history about the Victorian Country Christmas...
A Victorian Country Christmas started as
an idea many years ago. Lynda Pressey had just experience the loss
of her sister due to cancer. Her heart was touched by a Christmas
event that she witnessed at Disneyland and wondered if it would be
possible to create a special Christmas event in Washington someday.
About twenty five years ago she and her husband Rod Pressey invested
his retirement funds in this dream. Working out of their garage,
then out of an office park/ warehouse they along with a designer
created the vision of this unique event.
Rather than just a gift show with booths
they wanted a Christmas Festival that would literally infuse people
with the spirit and feeling of Christmas. Storefronts were created
and sets were designed to give the Washington State Fair Events
Center the look
and feel of a Victorian Village in the late 1800's. Three buildings
were decorated top to bottom to give the feeling that you were
walking down an old fashioned street passing beautiful shops filled
with hand crafted and one of a kind gift items. Artists from
throughout the United States and Canada signed up to be in the show
and we opened the doors to patrons from throughout the United States
and Canada. This event has been going strong since 1988 and has
become a tradition for families and friends from all different walks
of life.
Many other artists will take the stage at this event as
well as wonderful strolling performers. One of the unique features
of a Victorian Country Christmas is the Singing Nativity. For those
that truly want a dynamic and powerful experiences this is a must
see. Featuring over one hundred and twenty five singers and dancers
this presentations features the most beautiful Christmas Carols and
Christmas music.
Don't forget a carriage or train ride
between buildings and a package check in is available to make your
experience easy and fun. Security is top notch at our event. US
Marines will make sure that you feel safe as you enjoy this
wonderful show. We also have the most beautiful Santa setting for
breathtaking keepsake photos. Our lovely Santa and Mrs. Claus take
time with your children and listen to the wishes of adults too.
We have wonderful
vendors that sell specialty food items perfect for gifts or a
special treat. If you are looking for a sweet treat for a gift
or snack well then you cannot beat Seattle Fudge. They have been a
fixture in the Northwest for many years selling the finest tasting
homemade fudge and confections. We also have other fabulous treats
such as Bavarian Roasted Nuts, Kettle Corn, Homemade Killian Carmel
Corn, Chocolates and more.
Food, Fun, Shopping, Entertainment
and More! Don't miss this wonderful

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
A pale enchanted moon is sinking low
Behind the dunes that fringe the shadowy lea,
And there is haunted starlight on the flow
Of immemorial sea.
I am alone and need no more pretend
Laughter or smile to hide a hungry heart;
I walk with solitude as with a friend
Enfolded and apart.
We tread an eerie road across the moor
Where shadows weave upon their ghostly looms,
And winds sing an old lyric that might lure
Sad queens from ancient tombs.
I am a sister to the loveliness
Of cool far hill and long-remembered shore,
Finding in it a sweet forgetfulness
Of all that hurt before.
The world of day, its bitterness and cark,
No longer have the power to make me weep;
I welcome this communion of the dark
As toilers welcome sleep.

So it's been a few months now that I've had my Amazon Kindle, the e-book reader that Amazon.com released late last year.
What's obvious is that it's a conveniently sized e-book reader, with good battery life and clear black text on an off-white screen, easy to read.
What I didn't realize is how much I like the simple convenience of the Kindle's wireless connectivity. I can sit just about anywhere in the United States, and the Kindle wireless connection gives me an instant market of Amazon.com books, major newspapers, magazines and even a few of the best blogs (alas, not this one). This "just about anywhere" means, for example, that during that awkward time between passing security and boarding the plane, I can load my Kindle with reading material.
The daily New York Times, for example, costs no more than the paper version but loads into the Kindle in a few seconds. A book take less than a minute. The magazines cost a few dollars.
Stuck in the airport without some good reading material? No problem.
So this is a big change, the marriage of the e-book with the wireless access to get to the market. And I thought I'd post this, just as a matter of things that work, benefits, maybe generate some ideas.

Aspen, Colo. • Lindsey Vonn will take a practice run on the race hill in Aspen on Friday before making any decisions about competing this weekend.
The four-time overall World Cup champion just recently returned to training after missing time with an intestinal issue that landed her in the hospital.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The main concern with Vonn is whether she's completely back to full strength. The Olympic downhill gold medalist spent two nights in the hospital with what she described on Facebook as "some infection in my tummy."
Health permitting, Vonn will step into the starting gate for the giant slalom Saturday and slalom on Sunday. She spent most of last week training in Vail and also squeezed in a downhill practice session at the U.S. Ski Team's speed center at Copper Mountain.

Data shows that before the electricity went out, East Coast residents loaded up on bottled water, canned goods, and material for their spank banks.
Photo by iStockphoto.com
According to data released by PornHub, as Hurricane Sandy lumbered up the East Coast last week, many residents of New York and New Jersey prepared for widespread power outages by loading up on essential supplies, and then blowing their loads all over their MacBooks.
The popular porn site reports that it was hit with traffic spikes between Sunday night (Oct 28) and Tuesday morning (Oct 30), with people in New York and New Jersey, specifically, watching more online porn than any other state in the U.S. during that period. But especially New Jersey. For obvious reasons. (Just kidding. We've got nothing but love for our neighboring state. But the punchlines are just so easy.)
The stats are as follows:
New York
• On Monday, October 29, traffic went up 32% from 12am to 6am.
• Traffic between 10am and 3pm was up 12% (suggesting people knew that they might lose power or internet later on).
• After 3pm, the traffic started to decrease significantly with the biggest drop between 8pm Monday and 1am Tuesday, when the traffic decreased by 36% (believed to be a result of power and internet outages).
New Jersey
• Traffic went up 60% from 12am to 6am on Monday (almost double that of New York).
• From 10am to 3pm traffic was up by 20%.
• After 3pm traffic started decreasing, with a 30% drop from 3pm to 8pm and a 65% drop from 8pm Monday through Tuesday afternoon.
So, remember, kids: The next time a big storm is brewing, just follow this simple prep checklist: Flashlights? Check. Batteries? Check. Bottled water and canned goods? Check and check. Now, you should have plenty of time to beat your meat before the power goes out.

What If?
What if? Two little words that hold so much potential. It's what comes after that makes all the difference
- What if….I quit my job and move to Hawaii to become a scuba instructor?
- It would be AWESOME…except for the scuba part. I have to learn to do that first.
- What if….I sat on the couch and didn't move until I was caught up with Orange is the New Black?
- This could happen (and probably will) sometime this week.
- What if….I won the lottery?
- First, I'd have to play the lottery, but if I did play and I did win I would move to Hawaii and open either a coffee shop or a bookstore…maybe a bookstore WITH a coffee shop inside!
What if….I started writing again? The last time I posted here was in April. It's been almost four months and I haven't written anything. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. I haven't journaled or jotted down ideas for NaNo this year. Nothing. Not a word has flowed from my brain through my fingertips. I've missed it. I quit because the words wouldn't come. My mojo…muse…inspiration flew the coop and forgot to leave a forwarding address. But Like Jack London said, "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." I'm done waiting. I may not use a club, but I'll hunt it down and make it my own. It's time to dust this page off and remember what I can do.
100 Words – The Peephole
This week's word on the 100 Word Challenge is
"Ssshhhh…they'll hear you!" I whispered. She placed a chubby hand over her mouth as we tiptoed forward. We heard the rustling of paper and the sharp zzzzzziiiiip of curling ribbon in between our quiet steps across the pine floor.
The floor creaked and we froze in our tracks, holding our breath and listening before daring to creep forward again. Finally, we reached the door and ever so carefully, I placed my hands next to the old-fashioned door knob.
"Well….." she questioned, as I put my eye to the peephole to peer inside the locked room. "Can you see our Christmas presents?"

text: A rare victory for US troops in Vietnam forms the basis of this unflinching war drama based on the memoir by 7th Air Cavalry hero, General Hal Moore. Braveheart writer Randall Wallace adapts, directs and reunites with Mel Gibson who, as the selfless Moore, finds his battalion outnumbered five-to-one in the so-called Valley of Death. Greg Kinnear, Sam Elliott and a fresh-faced Chris Klein play their part in a true underdog story that invokes the spirit of General Custer and the Zulu-repelling men of Rorke's Drift.Read Review

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm still amazed that the entire thing is CGI - especially when it comes to Arthas. The hand movement (especially when he's brushing the snow aside from the ice), the rippling of his robe as he's walking - I would have sworn that they mixed in live action with the CGI in so many spots! This is just phenomenal!

Raised panels add visual character and strength to cabinet doors. Milling the raised "field" area of the panel and the surrounding bevels is really just a process of making several bevel-rip cuts against a tall fence on your table saw. It's not difficult to master. Before you begin, install a sharp, fine-toothed blade in your saw, and make sure the rip fence is exactly parallel to the blade. Since you'll need to remove the blade guard for this technique, do whatever you can to minimize your chances for kickback. A parallel rip fence is a must.

Photo 3
Photo 4

Photo 7
Photo 8
Step 1: Joint and plane your panel carefully so it's flat on both faces. Use a combination square to draw four layout lines on one face to define the center field area of the panel (see Photo 1). The size of this field area will vary with every panel, so let your own sense of proportion be your guide. Make all four layout lines equidistant from the panel ends and edges.
Step 2: Raise your saw blade about 1/8 in. above the table, and set the rip fence so the blade will cut just to the waste side of your layout lines. Make two shallow cross-grain cuts and two long-grain cuts to create a grid of field area "shadow" lines (see Photo 2). Use a push stick to keep the panel pressed firmly against the saw table and fence when you make these cuts.
Step 3: Next, draw an angled line from the bottom of one of your shadowline cuts to the edge of the panel to lay out the broad bevel cuts you'll make next (see Photo 3). Remember to account for the edge thickness you'll want for the panel. If you plan to use cope-and-stick router bits to make the rails and stiles of your cabinet door, be sure to check your bit set to see what size slots it will cut for panels. Generally, the slot width will be 1/4 in., so make your panel edges slightly thinner than this to fit the slots.
Step 4: Since making the bevel-rip cuts will involve feeding the panel vertically through the blade, you'll need to attach a tall auxiliary facing to your rip fence. Make the fence facing 6 to 8 inches wide and as long as your rip fence. Attach it to the fence beam with screws or countersunk bolts (see Photo 4).
Step 5: Set and lock a bevel gauge to the same angle you drew on your panel in Step 3. Raise your saw blade to full height, and tilt the blade until it meets the bevel gauge evenly. Lock the blade to this angle (see Photo 5). Note: It may help to stand the panel vertically on a bench and against a square when you're adjusting the bevel gauge to the panel layout line.
Step 6: Unlock your rip fence and hold the panel against it with the bevel rip layout line facing down. Slide the fence over until the inside face of the blade teeth align with the waste side of your bevel rip layout line (see Photo 6). Lock the fence in this position. Now, lower the blade until the top teeth just intersect the shadowline cuts. When you make your bevel-rip cuts, the blade will not cut into the field area if you adjust its height carefully at this stage.
Step 7: It's finally time to make those four big bevel rips. Before you do, there are a couple more precautionary set-ups to make. First, clamp a featherboard to the saw table just ahead of the blade to keep the panel pressed tightly against the rip fence. Second, clamp a piece of scrap to the back of the panel so it forms a sled that will ride along the top edge of the fence. This sled will keep the panel from tipping down into the blade slot during cutting. In order to minimize tearout, make the two cross-grain bevel rips first, then finish up with the long-grain rips (see Photo 7). Re-clamp the fence sled before making each of these four cuts.
Step 8: Even if your saw blade and fence are properly aligned, it's tough to avoid creating a few blade swirls or burns during the bevel-ripping process. The fastest way to clean them off is with a sharp block plane, shoulder plane and a card scraper (see Photo 8). Then, give your panel a thorough sanding up through the grits and you're ready to make those rails and stiles!

4 Stocks Under $10 Making Big Moves
Symmetry Medical
Symmetry Medical ( SMA) designs, develops and produces medical device solutions and surgical instruments. This stock closed up 2.6% to $8.28 in Thursday's trading session.
Thursday's Range: $8.07-$8.28
52-Week Range: $7.44-$12.83
Thursday's Volume: 85,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 137,065
From a technical perspective, SMA trended modestly higher here with lighter-than-average volume. This stock has been trending sideways and consolidating for the last month and change, with shares moving between $7.76 on the downside and $8.54 on the upside. Shares of SMA are starting to trend within range of its 50-day moving average at $8.33 and within range of triggering a breakout trade. That trade will hit if SMA manages to take out the upper-end of its recent range at $8.48 to $8.54 with high volume.Traders should now look for long-biased trades in SMA as long as it's trending above some key near-term support levels at $7.90 or at $7.76 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 137,065 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then SMA will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $9.41 to its 200-day at $9.77. Any high-volume move above $9.77 will then put $10.50 into range for shares of SMA. Transcept Pharmaceuticals Transcept Pharmaceuticals ( TSPT) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary products that address important therapeutic needs in neuroscience. This stock closed up 2.6% to $8.28 in Thursday's trading session. Thursday's Range: $3.60-$3.67
52-Week Range: $2.52-$6.77
Thursday's Volume: 92,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 165,940 From a technical perspective, TSPT trended modestly higher here with lighter-than-average volume. This stock recently made a sharp run higher right off its 50-day moving average of $3.03 to its recent high of $3.70 with decent upside volume flows. That move has now pushed shares of TSPT within range of triggering a big breakout trade. That trade will hit if TSPT manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.70 to $3.90 and then once it clears its 200-day at $4.02 and more past resistance at $4.23 with high volume.

1,000 General Motors jobs coming to Roswell
Former UPS building purchased for high-tech facility
December 24, 2012
ROSWELL, Ga. Roswell Mayor Jere Wood said he got his Christmas present early when word came that General Motors bought the 228,000-square-foot UPS building at Mansell Road and Warsaw Road to house a new division that will develop a range of technological improvements for its cars.
The 228,000-square-foot former UPS information technology facility will open next year as an innovation facility for General Motors. HATCHER HURD.
The UPS building (formerly the Herman Miller manufacturing plant) had been an information technology facility for the company until the operation was shut down in 2009.
Published reports say the Roswell site will be one of four technology innovation centers to create new GM technologies rather than depend on outside sources for vehicle technology, such as improved GPS systems and safety features.
"I was pleased, to say the least. This will mean a lot to the city for our local businesses, for our local realtors and for the entire community," Wood said. "I believe this is only the beginning for Roswell. I expect 2013 to be a year of new opportunities for the city, and this is just the first."
Although GM is not commenting a formal announcement is expected after New Year's once details are completed Roswell was apparently one of several cities along the Eastern seaboard under consideration for the deal.
"The GM purchase of the facility off Mansell Road demonstrates North Fulton and Roswell's position as the leading Southeast hub for corporate business and lifestyle," Wood said.
One of the key components of the deal was Roswell's Opportunity Zones, which had been expanded this year to include the UPS property.
Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Brandon Beach said the state has allowed the creation of Opportunity Zones to stimulate business growth in depressed areas. For each new job created in one of these zones, the company receives a $3,500 tax credit for five years. For GM, the tax break means $3.5 million for five years, or $17.5 million.
Beach also pointed out these businesses receive the payroll tax holiday for 10 years. So for each incremental new employee, those new positions will incur additional tax breaks also of a five-year duration.
So the businesses they attract will also have incentives to stay as they grow.
"These are high-tech, high-paying jobs," said Beach. "The effect of these jobs will ripple throughout North Fulton communities. If an executive wants an equestrian lifestyle, there is Milton. If he wants a golf community for his family, there are Country Club of the South, Windward or The Manor.
"One thousand jobs is a big win," Beach said. "North Fulton is poised to lead the region out of the recession. When you add the quality education offered here, the infrastructure and fiber-optic capabilities for high-tech and information technology usages, the talent pool and the quality of life here, it is incredibly strong.
"We are poised for success in 2013," Beach said.

This year has been a real treat for my movie sensibilities! Usually, a given year might have one or two high-quality movies that stand above the rest of the dumb summer popcorn flicks. But it's not even August yet, and I've already seen five really good movies. The year started off well with the quirky, sci-fi romance story Her (which I meant to review, but never got around to it). Then, Captain America Winter Soldier turned out to be an exceptional super hero spy thriller. I already reviewed X-Men Days of Future Past and Edge of Tomorrow - both of which I also really liked!
So far, the only disappointment has been the poorly-written Amazing Spider-Man 2 (but this was kind of to be expected, thanks Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci). I also have no interest in Transformers 4 or Ninja Turtles, since those both look like standard Michael Bay garbage.
And so we come to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, a sequel to the prequel / reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Rise was a surprisingly good movie that did an excellent job of humanizing a CGI monkey. Dawn picks up ten years after the last movie ended. The virus that James Franco's character created in the lab as a potential treatment for Alzheimer has spread to the rest of the population and almost wiped out the human race, leaving only the small fraction of people that are genetically resistant to it.

Video game adaptations have generally been pretty awful. Edge of Tomorrow isn't based on a video game (it's actually based on a Japanese novel), but it manages to feel more like a video game than any game-based movie that I've ever seen, while still providing an interesting and fun narrative built upon a unique time-travel premise.
The movie takes place in a present-day earth that has been invaded by hostile aliens, slowly but steadily consuming the cities of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and the combined forces of earth's nations can't slow them down. William Cage (Tom Cruise) is ordered into active combat in a surprise assault against the aliens, despite being a propaganda officer rather than an actual soldier. During the assault, the human soldiers are ambushed and slaughtered, but Cage manages to kill an alien only to be boiled alive by the alien's acidic blood. However, Cage gains the alien's ability to go back in time to reset the day after he dies. So when Cage dies, he immediately wakes up back at the army base just prior to the invasion to start the day over again.
Cage gets stuck in a "Groundhog Day" cycle, constantly reliving the same failed invasion over and over again. He tries to change the outcome, but plays such an insignificant role in the grand scheme of things that his efforts are all in vain, and he must repeatedly experience the invasion until he has effectively memorized every event. In each repeat cycle, he gets a little bit better at staying alive, just like a video gamer playing a trial-and-error level in an old-school video game (think Castlevania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, or the more recent Demon's Souls). He learns the location of every alien, every mortar shell, every landmine, every piece of flying debris, until he can essentially walk through the invasion with his eyes closed either avoiding or eliminating threats with virtually no effort.
As a gamer, it was very interesting for me to watch a film narrative that is completely based around one of gaming's central conceits: respawning after a character dies...

So, what's the deal with the "Days of Future Past" X-Men story, anyway? Sure, it's a great storyline, but other comics also have similarly great storylines. Yet, I can't think of any other comic story that is treated with as much reverence as this particular one. No other comic book story that I can think of has been directly adapted as often as this one. Not "The Night Gwen Stacy Died", not "The Death of Superman". These comic stories have been reference in numerous media, particularly Gwen Stacy's death, but rarely are they adapted. But I've yet to see an incarnation of X-Men that does not include a version of the "Days of Future Past" storyline. It's been featured in multiple animated series, video games, and novelizations.
Of course, all of the various retellings of this story take their own creative liberties, and the new movie from 20th Century Fox is no exception.
This film is designed to be a sequel to both the First Class and Last Stand movies in the X-Men franchise. I was kind of surprised that the studio took this particular approach, since there were some nagging inconsistencies and continuity issues with the two timelines. But I guess Hollywood never cares as much about continuity as the nerdy fanboys do... Fortunately, these continuity issues don't come up or interfere with this film.
In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The creative liberties were generally positive, and the combination of the two timelines actually works surprisingly well. I wasn't terribly thrilled with the depressed, brooding depiction of the younger Xavier, but I don't know enough about the character's comic book history to know whether this is anachronistic, and it definitely wasn't to the movie's detriment.
I only have a handful of criticisms of this movie, and a few of them are really just personal annoyances rather than genuine flaws in the film's production.

You'd think that super-hero movie makers would have learned some lessons from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. Specifically, you'd have hoped that they'd have learned not to throw too many villains into one movie - especially if you have to cover the origin of all of them. As I stated in my review of the first Amazing Spider-Man, it was too soon to reboot the Spider-Man movie franchise. After Spider-Man 3, that franchise could have used a new cast (Tobey Macguire was starting to look flabby in the Spider-Man tights), but a complete reboot was unnecessary and premature. Andrew Garfield could have filled Tobey's shoes as an older, more mature, confident Peter Parker without the need to reboot the franchise and retell the origin story.
The first movie felt completely unnecessary and just didn't look or feel right. This movie is at least brighter and more colorful. It isn't visually as dull and washed-out as the previous movie. Garfield continues to excel in the role of Spider-Man with witty chit-chat, and the costume looks absolutely brilliant! He still doesn't sell himself as Peter Parker though, and his voice sounded muffled in his mask at some times, but if you could understand Bane, then you can follow along with Spider-Man.
So while it looks and sounds good, Amazing Spider-Man 2 just falls completely apart in its narrative.

Last night, the first episode of the reboot/sequel to Carl Sagan's acclaimed series Cosmos premiered on FOX and National Geographic Channel. I'd been anticipating this show since it was announced last year, as the original Cosmos is one of the best educational programs that has ever been produced. This show is hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, whose passion and charisma makes him an excellent communicator of scientific ideas (right up there with Bill Nye) and fitting successor to Sagan.
In this premiere episode, Tyson gives a brief tour of the solar system, recounts the story of Giordano Bruno, and introduces the viewer to Sagan's classic "cosmic calendar". The information presented in this episode is very high-level. I'm hoping that this is due to the introductory nature of this first episode, and that the remaining episodes will go into much greater depth and detail. However, I fear that the one-hour format will be too constraining for Tyson to provide any information of substance. Sagan's original series was made up of thirteen episodes each two hours long, and that format gave him the opportunity give more than just an introduction to a given topic, providing specific details on the evidences and experiments that lead to the discoveries he presented. Will Tyson have the time in later episodes to provide more information than one can get from the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article? I hope so.

Eating regularly improves health
Fit for the Road
By Sean Randall
When it comes to health, the most basic things doctors will tell you are to improve your diet and to exercise. If you want to live a healthy life, diet and exercise are the first places to start working.
For many, 30 minutes of walking or jogging several times a week can make a huge difference, but given the trucking lifestyle, regularly scheduled exercise can be difficult to pull off, making a healthy diet ever more important.
Eating healthy is not always a simple matter, either, with deadlines rushing drivers and good grocery stores sometimes hard to come by. Fortunately, there are some basic rules to healthy eating that everyone can follow with a little effort, and it starts with portioning out your food and eating regularly.
Pam Whitfield, a registered dietician and co-author with Don Jacobson of the book "Roadcookin': A long-haul driver's guide to healthy eating," says regular meals are an important part of healthy eating. "I would strongly encourage regular meals. I mean eating every four to five hours. It's much better to eat four to six small meals instead of one large meal."
Regular meals help prevent low blood sugar, she adds, and eating regularly can help control hunger. If you're facing time constraints — for instance, difficulty getting up early to do things like cook breakfast — plan early how to get meals in throughout each day.
What you eat and how much you eat are just as important as eating regularly, of course. According to the USDA's new MyPlate initiative, which replaced the traditional food pyramid many grew up studying, you should try to make half of each meal fruits and vegetables. If you have a refrigerator in your cab, it's a good idea to stock it with a few items of fresh produce when you can. MyPlate also has suggestions on how much food you should eat in a day — 5 to 6.5 ounces of meat, for instance.
That amount may seem small to some. An 8-ounce steak or hamburger can be eaten in just one meal out at a restaurant, which more than covers your entire daily portion. That's why it's important to start weaning yourself off big meals and to start lowering your portion sizes.
"Eat slowly, try to eat less and drink plenty of water," Whitfield says."Include a fruit, vegetable serving, a starch, but not too much, and a lean meat. On the protein side, I would always go lean. With starches, we want to find fiber."
Read the labels on what you're buying to find dietary content, she adds, or ask for the nutritional facts at restaurants.
"The main three things to include is more fiber, less salt and less saturated fat," Whitfield says.

Porsche has chosen the international Geneva Motor Show as the place to launch the latest iteration of the super-cool 911 GT3. The new take on Porsche's 45-year old classic 911 is rumored to be the hottest GT3 yet.
The newest 911 raises the engine size to 3.8 liters and develops 435 bhp, 20 ponies more than its predecessor, allowing the GT3 to hit 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and reach a top track speed of 194 mph. That oughta do 'er.
To keep you on track at those speeds, the boys from Stuttgart have developed Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) – but we like call it "SPASM" or even more suggestive names, like "Original Really Groovy Active Suspension Management." Either way, it includes real-time computer-controlled suspension tuning and traction control.
Porsche has also gifted the new car with aerodynamic improvements to increase downforce at both the front and rear, more than doubling the aero benefits of the previous generation GT3. You also get standard bi-xenon headlights, LED rear light clusters and modified air intakes and outlets.
One of the problems with any new super-duper sports car like the GT3 is that when it's where you want it for driving, it's too low for the real world. So they took a clue from the low-rider boys and developed a new lift system for the front axle. Using an on-board air compressor, the front end of the GT3 can be raised for steep driveways or inclines. A the touch of a button raises the front ride height by a little over an inch, and it works at speeds up to about 30 mph.
The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 will be available in the fall of 2009, and Porsche thinks it's worth $112,200 USD – but we're betting the dealers tack on a premium on top of that, so save your pennies.

Harry the Pygmy Hippo Calf (Picture Gallery)Cute, Fun Pic — By Dave on 2012/03/28 10:38 AM
Meet Harry, the six-day-old pygmy hippo calf from the Cango Wildlife Ranch in Oudtshoorn, South Africa. The 11 lbs baby was born last Thursday to Hilda and Herbert, the wildlife sanctuary's pygmy hippopotamus pair, and named after Prince Harry of Wales.
Hilda's track record is not the best when it comes to her 'motherly skills'. The mother and calf were closely monitored, and after 5 hours of no feeding, the decision was made to pull the calf from its mom in the hopes of his survival. He is now being hand-reared by the ranch's curator and caretaker Toni Inggs.

"…whether Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will unleash another round of stimulus to juice the economy."
Not "to juice the economy". More accurately, to juice the STOCK market.
And despite O'Sullivan's comment to the contrary, the economic indicators in July showed that 23 of 30 were WORSE than expected. About 75% were WORST than expected. Perhaps he could tell us which economic signs are showing such ebullient robustness. The July jobs report? It showed a net LOSS of jobs without the "seasonal adjustment". The retail sales report? It also showed a DECLINE, except for the "seasonal adjustment", which was the first POSITIVE adjustment in a DECADE! Those have been the only real positive "surprises" in the past month, and both were doctored to be such.
This looks more like a bubble than a market. It's a mirage! A mirage market!

We just lost the constitutinal right to take Monsanto to court if their GMO crops sicken or kill us. Any comment?
Is this still America when the government grants freedom from responsibility for creating dangerous or deadly products to giant corporations? How can we protect ourselves when our bees are dying because of Round-up and Monsanto can easily get laws passed that free it from any responsibility for its products and the damage they cause, like killing all the bees?
Closing Statement from Spring Bright
I am glad a lot of people are well informed about GMOs, the death of bees and the battle for our right to know what's in our food.
Not long ago we didn't have to spend hours reading labels. Peanut butter was defined as peanuts and salt. maybe with sugar. Now hundreds of untested chemicals are added to food. We should not be forced to read labels to protect ourselves.
When companies don't have to disclose GMOs in our food we've lost the right to defend ourselves and our families. Anyone who is in favor of gun rights should be in favor of the right to know what's in our food and to not eat anything they find objectionable or even questionable. Shouldn't they?
Mr. Colera argues that GMOs aren't "conclusively proven" to be bad. I'm sorry, but corporations should not have all the rights. People deserve to have safe, unadulterated food and corporations should have to prove what they are adding to food is "conclusively safe" not the other way around.
They're adding "new" foods, they're profiting from GMOs, let them prove they're "conclusively safe" before they can sell them.
That's the logical, sensible, fair way to protect the public from "new" things.
People should not accept any industry assurance that something unproven to be safe should be allowed in food.
Why isn't this a major election issue? It should be.

In addition, SIPs for extreme O3 areas must
pollutants are currently focused on nonattainment areas, our discussion here will be largely limited to the "attainment-demonstration SIP" submitted by an area after it has been designated a nonattainment area. As indicated in Box 3-3, the CAA requires that an attainment-demonstration SIP be submitted to EPA within 3 years of an area's being designated a nonattainment area. The agency or agencies responsible for preparing an attainment-demonstration SIP vary from state to state. Often, it is prepared by the relevant state or tribal authority; in other cases, a local or regional government is given primary responsibility.
The key elements of an attainment-demonstration SIP are the following:
An emissions inventory.
An analysis involving air quality model simulations as well as observational data and related evidence to determine the amount and types of emission reductions needed to bring about compliance by the appropriate date.
A description of the emission-control strategies and enforcement measures to be adopted to achieve the required reductions.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2010 Yalumba Y Series Merlot has an inviting crimson color. Classic varietal aromas of red currants, violets and eucalypt lead to a medium bodied palate with flavors ranging from spiced fruit cake to black cherry with very fine, velvet tannins. The generous fruit flavors give the wine a fleshy, supple appeal that the variety is so well known for. Serve with Kangaroo fillets, a red currant reduction and sweet potato mash.
