Hi. I can really use some help (keeping in mind I don't know much about CSS and nothing about php). How can I move my navigation bar flush to the bottom of my 960x250 header image. I'd also like to move the header image to the tip-top of my page, retaining the title+tagline as text in their original position on top of the header image.
I'd like to keep these 3 changes in the css file if possible so I can find these positioning changes easily to edit later if needed. The header image + nav bar seem interrelated while I experiment with the [child theme]'s style.css doc -- they seem to move as if connected, a little bit; does that make it harder for me to do solely using css?
Thanks very much for any help.

Went this weekend to look for a new truck. Has my mind set on another Tacoma. After looking around a bit and test driving a few different vehicles, I kept noticing this one that looked like a retro Toyota Land Cruiser. I finally asked the sales person what it was, and she said an FJ Cruiser. I drove it for 5 minutes, turned around and headed back. The lady asked me if I didnt like it. I said " hell yes I like it, thats why Im turnin around, so we can get the paper work done.

Let me say first that I hope it doesn't fallthrough because I am the proud owner of GRN stock(purchase price $239 3/4), unless, of course, that GRNshould track back up if the merger is cancelled (by theway, I just voted FOR the merger on my GRN proxy). ButI sure wouldn't buy GRN here; I'd rather have BRK,since the shares are almost trading at parity. Yes, GRNshareholders are getting a raw deal at these prices. I can'tspeak for others, but, as of now, I haven't filed suitto block the merger. ljh
when do they give us the news?it's alwaysbeen my secret fear that web made TOO good a deal.that's the hitch to these negotiations. negotiate toowell & you come up with a lost deal. if deal fallsthrough, then we have a bigger share of our assets in thisworldwide financial morass. & i fear gen re stockholdersdon't want to own this either. but either way, web willhave some cash to hunt bargains.
The more Berkshire's intrinsic value and share price will fall in case if the GRN merger fails.I totally agree with cattch22.iggy
If the deal falls through, I'm jettisoning theGRN shares ASAP. I'll take the loss, write it off asa lesson learned, and get back to the business ofBRK, WMT, and HD (the latter two of which have held upextremely well in this "morass"). ljh
<<< Let me say first that I hope itdoesn't fall through because I am the proud owner of GRNstock (purchase price $239 3/4), unless, of course,that GRN should track back up if the merger iscancelled (by the way, I just voted FOR the merger on myGRN proxy).

My impression is that GRN sharescould fetch more if GRN was put up for auction. Andthey could buy BRK stock individually, although thatwould have different tax implications.I mean,sure, Buffett and Ron Ferguson got a good deal, but Ido not think that GRN shareholders did. As a ownerof BRK I am reasonably happy about this, but I amafraid that GRN owners may disagree.Good luck toall
........if there is concern among the GenRe stockholders about the merger, you would never know it from their msg board. It's been strangely silent for a week now.....
I actually thought about voting against thisthing, but then I figured, "What the heck? No moreshares than I have, it probably wouldn't matter anyway."Pathetic, huh? That's the same type of apathy that stuckthis country with Clinton for 6 (and maybe even 8years). How true, how true. Clinton got the majority ofthe VOTE, but certaily NOT from a majority ofAmericans. Most Americans, in fact, sat out the both of theelections. So much for politics. I would commit all newmoney to BRK, rather than GRN. And I must admit, it'slooking better and better all the time (if the super B'sdrop below $2,000, I'm in for more; ditto if the A'sdrop below $60,000--I figure that's at or belowintrinsic value). ljh

On next week's episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, entitled "A View to Kill," when Rebekah (Claire Holt) turns down Klaus' (Joseph Morgan) plea to stop Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) and protect Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), Klaus turns to Stefan (Paul Wesley) for help. After an angry confrontation with her father, Mayor Hopkins (guest star Rick Worthy), over his unconventional approach to ending the violence in Mystic Falls, Bonnie (Kat Graham) has a frightening run-in with Kol, followed by an unexpected visitor. Klaus complicates the already tense feelings between Stefan and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) by revealing a bit of Stefan's personal life, then surprises Damon by asking for personal advice. Elena (Nina Dobrev) tells Stefan about her dangerous plan for Jeremy, leaving Stefan in a difficult spot. When the high school's 1980s Decade Dance is cancelled by Mayor Hopkins, Stefan finds a charming way to make it up to a disappointed Rebekah. Brad Turner directed the episode written by Rebecca Sonnenshine (#412). "A View to Kill" airs Jan. 31 at 8PM on The CW!

Nominations for the 88th Annual Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning inside the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills. Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs along with directors Guillermo Del Toro and Ang Lee and actor John Krasinski took turns revealing the nominations.
Leading the pack with 12 nods in all was Alejandro González Iñárritu's frontier revenge tale, The Revenant. It scored Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio to name a few. Nipping at its heels in second place was Mad Max: Fury Road with 10 nods, followed by The Martian and Carol with seven and six respectively.
I'm glad to see that sentimental favorite Sylvester Stallone got noticed for Creed. Having scored another nomination for playing Rocky Balboa is a great story. He could conceivably snag his first Oscar. The original Rocky won Best Picture, but Stallone wasn't a producer. The categories he was nominated in, Best Actor and Best Screenplay, he didn't win.
The awards will be handed out on February 28 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, beginning at 7pm EST on ABC. Check out all the nominees below.
After much speculation, it's confirmed that Chris Rock will host the 88th Academy Awards. It marks the second time the 50-year-old comedian has hosted the annual event. He previously held court in 2005 for the 77th Oscars telecast.
"I'm so glad to be hosting the Oscars," said Rock. "It's great to be back."
Rock follows in the recent footsteps of Neil Patrick Harris (2015), Ellen DeGeneres (2014) and Seth MacFarlane (2013). Check out below the Saturday Night Live alum's opening monologue from his first stint as Oscar host.
"Chris Rock is truly the MVP of the entertainment industry," Academy Awards producers David Hill and Reginald Hudlin said in a statement. "Comedian, actor, writer, producer, director, documentarian — he's done it all. He's going to be a phenomenal Oscar host!"
This holiday season spend it with Bill Murray over on Netflix. The 65-year-old actor has assembled a star-studded roster for A Very Murray Christmas. It also reunites him with his Lost In Translation director Sofia Coppola. The two along with Mitch Blazer wrote the special with Sofia sitting in the director's chair.
A Very Murray Christmas is billed as a "homage to the classic variety show featuring Bill Murray playing himself, as he worries no one will show up to his TV show due to a terrible snow storm in New York City."
Joining him for the festive good time are Chris Rock, George Clooney, Michael Cera, Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, Jason Schwartzman and Miley Cyrus. The latter duets with Murray on "Let It Snow.
A Very Murray Christmas begins streaming on Netflix on December 4. Watch the teaser trailer below.
Numerous fans felt a little gypped by the original edit of "Bitch I'm Madonna." With all the marquee names participating, I, like many, assumed Beyonce, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus would've been featured more than just a couple of seconds in the Jonas Akerlund-directed clip. Pretty much all they did was lip sync just one line. Does her new visual rectify that faux pas?
Madonna ditches the partygoers and her Asian lady backup dancers in the Sander Kleinenberg remix video edit. Instead, the 56-year-old icon is shown gyrating and hair flipping in a room solo while grainy footage of Kanye West, Rita Ora, Chris Rock, Diplo, Nicki Minaj and the aforementioned names are edited in between. The cameos are a bit longer but not by much. Check out the video remix edit below.
Taking a page from Taylor Swift's playbook, Madonna enlists her famous friends for her star-studded visual "Bitch I'm Madonna." Unlike Swift's "Bad Blood" clip though, the guest stars in the video seem like an afterthought.
With exception to Rita Ora, Chris Rock and Diplo, the likes of Beyonce, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus appear to have taped their cameos after Jonas Akerlund finished directing the clip.
Not surprisingly, the clip debuted exclusively on Tidal. If you recall, Madonna made headlines when she lifted her leg on the table while giving her signature.
While "Bad Blood" is a far superior clip, Madge's latest is still a playful little romp. Lots of colorful and fun fashion abound. Check out it below before Jay-Z's minions take it down.
After 33 years on late night television, 22 of which at the helm of The Late Show on CBS, David Letterman hosted his final show. Leading up to his swan song, the 68-year-old host welcomed some of his most notable guests including Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey, Adam Sandler, Tom Hanks and George Clooney to name a few. However, for his final hour, Letterman went for a relatively subdued approach, as compared to Jay Leno and Chelsea Handler's send-offs.
It mostly consisted of clip montages from his over 6,000+ shows. The only celebrities that showed up did so to deliver his final Top 10 List, "Top 10 things I've always wanted to say to Dave." Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and six others participated.
He was also joined by President Obama and former presidents in a pre-taped segment for the intro. It all ended with the Foo Fighters sending Letterman off to the sunset. Who knew David was such a fan of the Dave Grohl-fronted band.
Check out his final Top 10 list below, along with his final monologue, farewell and more clips.
With back-to-back box office disappoints courtesy of Jack & Jill and That's My Boy, it's only natural Adam Sandler film a sequel to his last hit. Grown Ups 2 reunites Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade back with Sandler. Once again the foursome act like adolescent teens at summer camp. I have to admit that I sorta enjoyed the first one and the trailer looks like the same sort of silly antics are in store. How else would you describe a deer peeing in Sandler's face?
As entertaining as that is, the trailer is all about the cameos. Taylor Lautner and his mob of angry frat boys force Sandler and the guys to strip down and cliff jump. It results with Spade yelling "I was inside you" to one of the guys. Andy Samberg pops up as a flamboyant male cheerleader. The former SNL comedian does his best Tawny Kitean impersonation, spreading his "cherry pie" all over a car windshield. Check out their appearances along with Shaquille O'Neal's below.
As promised, after The Oscars last night Jimmy Kimmel debuted his Movie: The Movie: 2V trailer and in case you missed it, we've got it for you to check out below. The hilarious movie parody video features 21 celebrities and tells the epic story of a world threatened by sexy vampires, sexy zombies, sexy mummies, and sexy leprechauns.
The cast includes: Rachel Weisz, Armie Hammer, Topher Grace, Jessica Chastain, Jude Law, Gerard Butler, Bryan Cranston, John Krasinski, Oprah Winfrey, Bradley Cooper, Kerry Washington, Guillermo Rodriguez, Jason Schwartzman, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, Bruno Mars, Amanda Seyfried, Channing Tatum, Samuel L. Jackson, Wolf Blitzer, and even Matt Damon.
Kimmel plays the man who leads the charge of people who fight to stop the Sexpocalypse. Some of my favorite moments include when Kimmel calls Oprah (who plays the president) and she hangs up on him, when Matt Damon is told to pretend he's eating a big sandwich but they really just want him to look like he's giving head, and when Kimmel shouts, "Release the Tatum!" and a giant Channing Tatum comes out that fights the sexy monsters by thrusting from his manhood. Watch the epic and hilarious video below.

[VIDEO] Richard Trumka Has a Question for You this Labor Day
Labor Day is coming soon and this year, like we do on every Labor Day, we will pause to recognize the incredible achievements of America's workers. We will gather in communities to march in parades, host barbecues and celebrate all who make this country run. But we also should recognize that despite our sweat, our sacrifice and our innovation, too many families are struggling and unable to get by.
No one should work for a living yet struggle to support a family. But some of the fastest job growth is occurring in such low-wage industries as fast food and retail, which is why more families feel like they are struggling to keep up with living costs. These same industries are least likely to pay a living wage or provide basic benefits like earned sick days and holidays. This means many of America's workers can't afford to take the day off if they get sick. And they certainly can't afford to take a day off to care for a family member in need...

This article identifies problematic rules of usage for aspect (preterite/imperfect) in Spanish that are commonly taught in textbooks, citing as evidence examples from Spanish literature. The rules under scrutiny are: (1) the imperfect is used to express emotions in the past, (2) the imperfect is used for descriptions in the past, (3) the preterite and imperfect are associated with certain expressions, and (4) certain verbs "change meaning" in the preterite. Literary works not only provide an authoritative voice to expose these misleading rules but also furnish rich contexts within which to better understand aspect in general.

GOP Senate Whip Jon Kyl was a guest on my show Thursday and reported that Congressional Democrats have indeed decided to use reconciliation to resurrect the remains of Obamacare, despite Massachusetts, despite the public's continuing and still growing dislike of the bill, and despite the jam-down ultra-partisanship such a naked power play and perversion of Senate rules that such an approach entails. The transcript of our conversation is here.
The only reaction to such a stunt should be an instant and amazing level of political activism, beginning with donations to ReverseTheVote.org --the NRCC fund committed to defeating the 24 most vulnerable House Democrats who supported Obamacare. Even if Harry Reid can find 50 senators on his side of the aisle to, along with Vice President Biden, vote to overrule the American public's considered opinion about Obamacare, it would still have to make it through the House, where Nancy Pelosi's very fragile coalition faces the prospect of a wipe out in 39 weeks if this passes.
Prior to Massachusetts Obamacare was just a terrible bill with disastrous consequences for the American health care system, especially for seniors.
If passed after Massachusetts, Obamacare would become the single most contemptuous act by a Congress towards voters in American history.
The groups and efforts likeTea Party Patriots , Docs4PatientCare.org and AMAC's TearUpYourCard.com that may have dialed back their activism since Scott Brown's win now know they have to double and redouble their efforts. In recent weeks some of the attention of the powerful anti-Democrat grass root organizing has passed over to expressions of concern over out-of-control spending. Now the groups must return their attention to the mess that is Obamacare, however that Frankenstein monster of a bill gets reassembled through the reconciliation process.
There's another development that may come into play as well as Democrats pursue collective political suicide. America's health care businesses --from insurance companies to medical care device manufacturers to hospitals and Big Pharma-- are now free under the decision in
Harry Reid may well have given up serious hope of being re-elected in Nevada and is thus willing to go over the cliff with President Obama. The defeat of Nancy Pelosi is less likely than any of the Supreme Soviet losing one of their contests during the '70s. Others like Barbara Boxer may not be aware a vote occurred in Massachusetts, so out of touch with public opinion have they grown through long years of beltway privilege.
But even the modest assessments of the undertow threatening Democrats puts the loss of seats in the House nearing takeover land of 40, and as many as nine Senate seats now in play. Imagine if the political anger in the land were to grow, or even double? Democrats think there is a limit to their losses, but what if they have fundamentally misjudged the American political center and the American political temperament?
That's what House Democrats especially have to be wondering this weekend as they hear that their leadership has committed them to defending the health care fiasco for another few weeks which will become months. Unemployment stays in the stratosphere, the president gives bad speech after bad speech as the prompter jokes grow, and the polls slide further and further away from the Democrats.
Sounds like a political plan every bit the equal of Obamacare on the merits.

I have a column that I would like to store a lot of text data in (XML data). Approx 8,000 chars per row, and about 100-500 rows per minute.
That much data means I will have to purge the column out fairly aggressively. (Since I have to host my SQL Server on our company's SAN, storage space is quite expensive.) But if I can find a way to compress this data down, I can keep it around longer.
I have seen things like this article on using CLR Integration to compress BLOBs in SQL 2005.
I have also seen the tool SQLCompress.NET for SQL Server 2005.
Both seem to say they do exactly what I want. Compress the data of a single column while it is stored.
However, the tool has been abandoned (no updates since 2008) and I don't know much about CLR Integration, except I have heard that it can cause problems. Also, both of these solutions are for SQL Server 2005.
So, here is my question. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2. Will either of these SQL Server 2005 solutions work well for me?
Or is there another solution that I can use to compress my data?
NOTE: Row Compression and Page Compression will not help with what I need (At least as far I can can see.) Row Compression is storing fixed length data in variable length fields and page compression reduces instances of redundant data. Neither of these will help with large blocks of text.
NOTE II: I saw this question, but its answer uses row and page compression or FILESTREAMs. I don't want to use FILESTREAMs because I loose the ability to mirror my database.

Prep editor James Edward's bracket: Loss to Desert Hills in first round.
Edward's evaluation: For a 15-win team that tied for second in Region 10, Wasatch certainly has a brutal first-round game at 19-win Desert Hills. The Wasps know that better than anyone. They lost to Desert Hills 49-28 at the Sevier Valley Center back in mid-December, and a similar result seems like a foregone conclusion.

You are correct James! It is a travesty that the UHSAA allowed this change in first round match ups that pits Region 9 vs Region 10 for the second year in a row! Never been done before! Totally unfair to these young ladies and their teams? Shame on the 3A principles who voted for this!

Don't put all the blame on the UHSAA. All other sports rotated with the first round region matchups. There was a decision made by Region principals to have the same region match ups as last year. Every year people complain about something. Just go out and play your best. Upsets happen! Go Wasps! A great opportunity to pull an upset early. Wasp girls have what it takes.

Stayed for 3 nights. Very comfortable and clean room. Staff was very friendly and familiar with area. Breakfast offered a variety of items that were restocked quickly. Nice pool area also.
Only problem at all involved plubming; toilet did not flush properly which we informed desk staff when we checked out which they said they would look into, and when taking a shower got hot and cold blasts so water was really affected by use from other rooms. Both minor issues
Would recommend and stay again.

The establishment media is back on its heels in the wake of some of the more explosive revelations within the hacked DNC e-mails recently released by Wikileaks. One of those e-mails, however, cut a little too close to the bone for Univision News.

If you watched Morning Joe on Tuesday, you would think Michelle Obama was the only person who spoke on the first night of the Democratic National Convention. Co-host Mika Brzezinski called the First Lady's remarks "chilling" while Willie Geist hailed it as "the greatest in the history of conventions." Co-host Joe Scarborough went so far as to say "her optimism and her hope reminded me of Ronald Reagan."

On this morning's Good Morning America in an ABC exclusive, Robin Roberts spoke to seven mothers of black men who were killed by police including the mothers of Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, and Trayvon Martin and why they were supporting Hillary Clinton. ABC gave two separate segments on their morning show totaling 11 minutes and 31 seconds and that was just devoted to the preview of a full interview that will play during tonight's DNC coverage. But ABC revealed they only find the grieving mothers angle interesting when it serves their own political agenda, by their polar opposite treatment of Benghazi mom Pat Smith during last week's RNC.

Donald Trump may want to make America great again, but Miley Cyrus has another idea. The singer and former Disney star, who once called Donald Trump a "f**king nightmare," is proud to be sporting a different take on the candidate's campaign slogan. Over the weekend, the Miley posted a selfie on Instagram wearing a hat with the words 'Make America Gay Again.' And shortly before that, she posted another pic of her wearing a t-shirt with the same rainbow-colored quote.

As we select a Quote of the Day for the Democratic convention, it will be useful to compare the two conventions. On our Monday contest last week, Tom Brokaw spoke for many liberal journalists by declaring "as you look at the message, even with Mrs. Trump saying what she said, it's a pretty divisive message. There was no attempt to really pull the country together."
On this Monday night, Tom Brokaw celebrated the president as "remarkable" and the Obama family as "exceptional." Michelle was "pitch perfect."

In an effort to downplay the chaos and division on display at the first day of the Democratic National Convention, on Tuesday's NBC Today, correspondent Andrea Mitchell celebrated Monday night's speech from Bernie Sanders as "everything Hillary Clinton could have wanted, an unqualified endorsement." The reporter gushed: "Passion and purpose at the Democratic National Convention."

In a rather bold display of liberal media bias on CNN Tonight, Peter Beinart a contributor to The Atlantic declared that Melania Trump's American experience was somehow invalid compared to Michelle Obama's. "She has not lived the story of America," he slammed in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, "She does not understand the story of America." Not only did he try to tear down Melania Trump he attacked the Republicans and glorified Michelle Obama.

ABC's Nightline on Monday night pretended to investigate Hillary Clinton's long-history of scandal, but David Wright concluded that, "objectively," she's even more qualified than her husband, Bill. Though the segment mentioned incidents such as Mrs. Clinton erroneously recounting being under sniper fire in Bosnia in 1996, Wright allowed just 18 seconds on Benghazi and the politician's unsecured e-mail server.

The "big three" networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were hard pressed for time on Monday night to comment on speeches at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) by Senators Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (Vt.), but there was time after First Lady Michelle Obama's speech to gush over her "artfully painted" address featuring "trademark...grace" in attacking Donald Trump.

Following the highly anticipated DNC speech by First Lady Michelle Obama on Monday, CNN's Anderson Cooper called out Political Commentator Van Jones for crying during the speech. "Well I mean, first of all, if you weren't moved by that, go see the doctor," he responded. Jones continued by speaking glowingly about the speech, "She gave a clinic on how to connect to the American people," and "It was her speaking as a mother." The rest of the panelists did much of the same, they all praised her speech for different reasons.

One of NewsBusters' most prominent readers, Rush Limbaugh, gave us a shout-out Monday during his radio program as he reflected on his success and longevity (next Monday, The Rush Limbaugh Show marks its 28th anniversary in national syndication). Limbaugh discussed a Sunday NB post which centered on a Washington Monthly blogger's allegations that he has left a "sick stain" and a "loathsome legacy," and that he has "removed all traces of logic, reason, decency, civility and compassion from the party of Abraham Lincoln." In citing our post, Rush called NewsBusters "one of our favorite websites…part of the show prep" before commenting on the origins of his show as well as on blogger D. R. Tucker's invective.

Though they haven't yet completed covering things up, Hillary Clinton's journalistic defense team at the Associated Press has swung into gear at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
The headline at the wire service's 10:00 p.m. Monday evening story by reporters Julie Pace and Ken Thomas — "AFTER DISPUTES, DEM STARS TURN THEIR CONVENTION POSITIVE" — falsely told readers that the contentiousness was over. Far from it. The pair's cleanup isn't complete yet (I expect we'll see that by early Tuesday morning), because their early paragraphs still betray the widely-reported disarray which occurred throughout the day. Pace and Thomas also need to work on their hearing, because they're claiming that a chant which became popular at the Republican convention last week relating to Hillary Clinton — "Lock her up!" — hasn't been heard in Philadelphia. They're wrong.

Taking all the different responses into account, Sac State is an OK-looking campus. There are some people who dress sharp, but few of them look like supermodels or personal trainers. Then again, not everyone is into that look. Students have different tastes, and many of them frowned or blinked when asked about how attractive they felt the student body was. Some wondered what the point of that question was, and others thought it was a tad superficial. Many went right on ahead and answered, though. Overall, the campus is filled with average people, but occasionally, someone makes you look twice.
Most Sac State students are women, which should excite male students. Also, male students usually think more highly of their female counterparts' looks than vice versa, so if you're a guy who likes girls, you'll at least have a lot to look at. Students of both genders comment a lot on how others dress, and the consensus is that the student body plays it safe with their wardrobes. There's definitely a shortage of people making daring fashion statements.

Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is the most famous modern example of a tour de force in which the action in "Hamlet" is viewed through the eyes of two of the bit players, Hamlet's college friends, who accompany him on his trip to England. We know "Hamlet" is about Hamlet. They think it's about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. There's an old joke about the actor who is hired to play the gravedigger in "Hamlet." "What's it about?" his wife asks. "It's about a gravedigger who meets a prince," he says.
As a play, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" is fascinating; we use our knowledge of "Hamlet" to piece together the half-glimpsed, incomplete actions of the major players, whose famous scenes we see a line or a moment at a time. As a movie, this material, freely adapted by Stoppard, is boring and endless. It lies flat on the screen, hardly stirring.
What went wrong? Since the original play is such a triumph, it is tempting to blame Stoppard in one way or another. Either his rewrite was too drastic, or his anachronistic references to future inventions are a distraction, or perhaps his camera is not confident or his cast (Gary Oldman and Tim Roth) is badly chosen.
None of those explanations will do. The rewrite would play just as successfully on the stage as the original, I suspect, and the anachronisms did not bother me, and the direction is competent and the casting defensible on the grounds that Oldman and Roth have been interesting before and will be interesting again. No, I think the problem is that this material was never meant to be a film, and can hardly work as a film.
The theatrical experience of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern," which I saw in London during its first run in the 1960s, was an intellectual tennis game between playwright and audience, with Shakespeare's original text as the net. There was an audacity and freedom to the way Stoppard's characters lurked in the wings of Shakespeare's most perplexing tragedy, missing the point and inflating their own importance - they were the ants, without the rubber tree plant. The tension between what was center stage and what was offstage was the subject of the entire evening.
There is no offstage in the movies. The camera is a literal instrument that photographs precisely what is placed before it, and has trained us to believe that what we are looking at is what we should be looking at. Any medium that can make a star out of Mark Harmon can make heroes of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. As for Hamlet and his uncle, and Gertrude, Ophelia, Polonius, Laertes - if they're so important, where are they? If Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were interesting characters on their own, this movie might yet survive its medium. But they are not. They are nonentities, and so intended. The most memorable performance in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" is the one by Richard Dreyfuss, as the leading player of the visiting troupe, and he becomes memorable in the time-honored way, by stealing his scenes.
(It is interesting that the Players, essentially dropped from the recent Zeffirelli-Mel Gibson "Hamlet," should make their comeback in this backstage version.) The Dreyfuss scenes contain their own energy, and do not depend on the tense juxtaposition of the Stoppard foreground and the Shakespeare background.
The irony, then, is that the parts of Stoppard's film that work best are exactly the ones that have nothing to do with the original inspiration behind "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern." To examine this irony in another way, the movie "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" is about a troupe of players who briefly visit a story about some bit players on the outskirts of a great tragedy. Talk about opening out of town.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
The timing of Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson's latest arrest couldn't have come at a worse time.
Benson was arrested early Sunday morning on assault charges on a former male roommate in Austin, Texas. This is the second straight year he has gotten into trouble in Texas, and this arrest could be the most damaging.
With the NFL lockout likely to end at some point this week, the Bengals 28-year-old will be a free agent and could command big dollars as teams scramble to add players. The Bengals are expected to be at the front of the line after Benson posted back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing campaigns the last two seasons.
But the arrest and the uncertainty of whether he could face suspension by commissioner Roger Goodell for his latest arrest will likely hurt his stock with some teams. Benson didn't face suspension last season for his arrest after a confrontation at a bar. But that will likely be different this time around if Benson is found guilty.
Neither the NFL nor the Bengals had any comment on Benson's latest run-in with the law. That will likely change once the lockout ends and teams and the league can conduct business, as usual.

Additional Information on Rafael Reverte Odipus Old Vines Grenache 2008
Winery: Rafael Reverte
Vintage: 20082008 saw very high yields across wineries in much of the southern hemisphere, as a result of highly favorable climatic conditions. Although in many areas, these high yields brought with them something of a drop in overall quality, this could not be said for South Australia's wines, which were reportedly excellent. Indeed, the 2008 Shiraz harvest in South Australia is said to be one of the most successful in recent decades, and western Australia's Chardonnays are set to be ones to watch out for. New Zealand's Pinot Noir harvest was also very good, with wineries in Martinborough reportedly very excited about this particular grape and the characteristics it revealed this year. Pinot Noir also grew very well in the United States, and was probably the most successful grape varietal to come out of California in 2008, with Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley delivering fantastic results from this grape. Elsewhere in United States, Washington State and Oregon had highly successful harvests in 2008 despite some early worries about frost. However, it was France who had the best of the weather and growing conditions in 2008, and this year was one of the great vintages for Champagne, the Médoc in Bordeaux, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes leading the way. Italy, too, shared many of these ideal conditions, with the wineries in Tuscany claiming that their Chianti Classicos of 2008 will be ones to collect, and Piedmont's Barberesco and Barolo wines will be recognized as amongst the finest of the past decade.
Varietal: GrenacheThe purple skinned Grenache grapes have become, over the past few decades, one of the most widely planted grape varietals on earth, thanks to their unique characteristics and the fact that they are an ideal varietal for use in both single variety and blended wines. They tend to be very light in body, due to the fact that they have low tannin levels and not much acidity to them. However, they can add a boost of alcohol to any blended wine, and also offer their complex and spicy flavors of pepper and dark berries. Grenache grapes grow very well in dry and arid region, such as their native home of central Spain, and struggle with damp conditions in which they are prone to rot or develop mildew. Thankfully, modern techniques and technology has managed to overcome many of these problems, resulting in this varietal continuing to grow in use and popularity.
Country: Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Photos: Jean Putting in Hard Work For Lamont Peterson
Canada's Dierry Jean is training hard for his mandatory shot at the IBF junior welterweight champion Lamont "Havoc" Peterson, scheduled for January 25th. The Showtime televised fight is going to land in the champion's backyard at the DC Armory in Washington, D.C. In the co-main event, Middleweight Jermell "Iron Man" Charlo risks his undefeated record against Two-Time World Title Challenger Gabriel "King" Rosado. Jean (25-0, 17 KO's) is not taking any chances in the fight. He wants to knock Peterson (31-2-1, 16 KO's) out before the contest reaches the judges. Photos by Robert Levesque/Photo Zone Sport.

Pre-op around 11 pm
Post-op feeling really good on fentanyl around 1 am
Picking dad up the next morning
Paul was showered with gifts and cards, he has a lot of people that felt bad for him!
A few days later it was Paul's birthday and it was a bit of a sad day since he slept ALL DAY! I made him one of his favorite breakfasts. Homemade wheat bread with Havarti Cheese, eggs and Applegate Turkey Bacon open face sandwich. We watched a movie that morning before he went to sleep the rest of the day. I made a new cake that looked like it should have been amazing, but it was just so so sadly. I ground up hazelnuts for the flour! Anything that is that time intensive should just taste amazing...That night I picked up take out and we opened presents. His big gift was purchased in March when we bought a Traeger grill. But we had a few presents for him to open on his "special" day.
Ever since Beckett was born I feel like we have been in survival mode moving from one problem to the next! I hope once I figure out my hip issues (I'll write more about that later) we'll get a little break...

I think this is the best animation on Newgrounds at the moment. I can't imagine how much time and effort was put into this project. . .amazing! Beautiful graphics and fantastic sound.
Who can't resist a little anime? ^.^
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Timeless masterpiece
Definitely one of the best of the best on Newgrounds.
Graphics: Perfect
Style: Although not absolutely original, it is very unique and developed to perfection.
Sound: Although it was only music, it had a very crisp and clear tone. Awesome (although I'm not sure if sound quality is difficult to master)
Violence: no blood, but none needed. Any graphic violence would ruin this animation. Although there was a lot of comic mishaps ^_^
Interactivity: There was no special features, no scene selection, nothing but preloader, play button, and the movie.
Humor: Stereotypical anime-style romantic comedy (with bunnies and rabbits), but it was laugh all the way anyway.
Overall: 9784/10000 (HAHA out of 10000 scale)
Rated 4 / 5 stars

Credit card debt can have a way of sneaking up on you. Many Americans know all too well how easy it is to end up with tens of thousands of dollars in consumer debt, usually spread out over a collection of different credit cards.

Automated Genome Annotation
The genomes of prokaryotes are being sequenced and made public at a furious rate. To help with the interpretation of this data, I wrote BASys, an automated prokaryotic genome annotation system. Anyone can submit their raw prokaryotic chromosome, plasmid, or contig data to BASys and it will attempt to identify and annotate the protein encoding regions.
