-Witold Rybczynski, author of City Life and Meyerson Professor of Urbanism at University of Pennsylvania
"David Owen always delights with his elegant insights and his challenges to conventional thinking. In this book, he does so again by puncturing the myth of ecological Arcadia and reminding us why living in cities is the best way to be green. It's a triumph of clear thinking and writing."
-Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe and Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
"Green Metropolis is a bracing, important work of contrarian truth- telling. Old-fashioned cities aren't just more interesting, more exciting, more fun-they're also by far the most sensible and efficient way to organize modern life. We city-dwellers live in the places we are waiting for." -Kurt Andersen, author of The Real Thing and Heyday

The problem with green thinking is that there's a whole heck of a lot of self-delusion going on, and when it comes to urban planning, David Owen has done a lot of looking into it, pointing out that at the end of the day, a lot of "green" purchases and behaviors are attempts to rationalize consumption without actually reducing it. Along the way, he steps on the toes of the great pastoral myth of environmentalism by showing how anti-city bias in conservation thinking has often served to promote the very urban sprawl it's supposed to be fighting. And Owen is hardly a global warming denialist or ecology "skeptic" either -- in fact, the primary focus of the book is on managing carbon footprints and just how poorly that's done.
Owen's dirty little secret is something urban planners and ecological experts have been promoting for years with little heed from the general public -- that the density of cities like New York is key to creating a low-consumption environment, since distances between home, work, and other activities are relatively small and therefore cars are generally unnecessary. Owen looks at carbon footprint in per capita terms, showing how the average New Yorker uses something like one third of the total oil consumption of a rural Vermonter, and points out the absurdity of building a "green" corporate campus (his prime example being Sprint/Nextel's in Kansas) so far away from a city that virtually all employees have to drive to work.Read more ›
When I read the first chapter of Green Metropolis, I was worried that my fears about this book might be confirmed. After all, the blurb says that the author is going to reveal how New York City is more sustainable than Snowmass, Colorado or Burlington, Vermont. Hmm, I thought, there's not much to that. People in NYC don't drive cars, they live on top and side-by-side of each other (so they share heating costs), and they have great transit. Why should any readers find it surprising that NYC is so sustainable?
I was kind of impatient, I suppose. I remember sitting in a hotel near the campus of Sprint, on about 110th St and Metcalf in Kansas City, Missouri (a national epicenter of sprawl!) and telling my sister that its not enough to say NYC is the ideal for sustainability. You can't turn this into Greenwich Village, right? In other words, that kind of insight is lacking because it offers no value for what policy should do about the problem of sprawl.
Moreover, I thought, why is David Owen singing the praises of NYC, when he moved from there to rural Northwestern Connecticut?
Owen must have known that, because this book seems to understand that its not enough to laud NYC. What this book does it go step-by-step through many of planning's existing antidotes to sprawl and reveal their limitations. This is a book about challenging the assumptions that govern current sustainability policy.
The problem, he says, is that New York was built not by policy makers with the right vision, but by lucky timing. It was good timing because most of the city was laid out before the car.Read more ›
I thought his criticisms of Central Park and Park Avenue were completely off the mark, dead wrong. One of biggest issues that, to my mind, haunts the thesis of this book is how to make dense urban living palatable and even desirable for a range of classes of people. Central Park was conceived at the very same time that New York was beginning to "experiment" with the large apartment building. Buildings such as the Dakota (1880) were designed specifically to lure well heeled city dwellers away from single family homes (townhouses) and into denser multi-story buildings with luxury space and services. (sound familiar?) Over the next 50 years many more even larger apartment buildings were built on both sides of the Park which was one of the most important ingredients in creating a DESIRABLE dense neighborhood. Far from being a built "criticism" of the dense city (as Owen may perceive it) Central Park was an enabler of density. As wonderful as Jane Jacobs' Greenwich Village of the 40's was, most "upper east side" types probably didn't want to live there then, and they certainly didn't in 1908.
Similar points can be made about Park Avenue. I assume he is referring to that portion of Park Avenue above Grand Central Terminal. This urban boulevard was conceived as cure for the urban blight of the Harlem and New York Railroad tracks (it covered the tracks) as well as an armature for dense luxury apartment building development on both sides.Read more ›

Judges gain leeway in cocaine cases
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Monday granted judges more discretion to be lenient with drug defendants, further chipping away at the harsh sentences once imposed for crack cocaine.
In a closely watched 7-2 ruling, the court ruled that trial judges can impose less severe punishment than federal sentencing guidelines call for. Increasingly, trial judges and lawmakers contend that crack cocaine sentencing guidelines are draconian and racially biased because most convicted crack dealers are black.
"It would not be an abuse of discretion for a District Court to conclude when sentencing a particular defendant that the crack/powder (cocaine) disparity yields a sentence greater than necessary," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the majority.
The decision involving Derrick Kimbrough, a convicted Virginia drug dealer and Persian Gulf War veteran, doesn't eliminate all sentencing distinctions between powder and crack cocaine. Rather, the ruling gives trial judges more leeway when they disagree with federal sentencing guidelines.
Spooked by stories of crack's super-potency, Congress set much stricter penalties for crack than for powder cocaine two decades ago. The "100 to 1" sentencing disparity means that possessing 5 grams of crack brings the same five-year prison term as possessing 500 grams of powder cocaine.
The ruling in Kimbrough v. United States means that judges can give shorter sentences without being second-guessed. Three years ago, the Supreme Court made all federal sentencing guidelines advisory rather than mandatory. That decision, though, left unclear how much discretion judges retained to deviate from recommended sentences.
"The court is free to make its own reasonable (decision) and to reject, after due consideration, the advice of the guidelines," Ginsburg wrote.
The results could be sweeping, starting with Kimbrough himself.
He pleaded guilty to possessing firearms, 56 grams of crack and 92 grams of powder cocaine. The federal sentencing guidelines called for 228 to 270 months in prison. Instead, a federal judge sentenced him to 180 months.
Some 25,000 defendants were sentenced in federal court on crack cocaine charges in the past five years, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Eighty-one percent of those sentenced last year on federal crack charges were, like Kimbrough, black.
By contrast, blacks accounted for 27 percent of those sentenced on powder cocaine charges last year. On average, the crack cocaine defendants received sentences 50 percent longer than those that the powder cocaine defendants got.
Saving for the future
sponsored According to two 2015 surveys, 62 percent of Americans do not have enough savings to handle an unexpected emergency, much less any long-term plans.

JACKSON, Miss. -- Not everything is coming easy for Reggie Bush, who after agreeing to a six-year contract with the New Orleans Saints had trouble finding an immediate flight from Los
Angeles to Mississippi's capital city.
But while the No. 25 jersey continued to be absent from the New
Orleans Saints' training camp Sunday, the Millsaps College campus
where the team is practicing was enlivened by the news of his
impending arrival.
"I'm kind of shocked he's [coming] here this early, but I'm
glad, and I'm sure the rest of the team is glad Baby Matrix is
here," said wide receiver Joe Horn, who came up with the "Baby
Matrix" nickname for Bush. "You ever seen "The Matrix" ... when
he's dodging those bullets? That's Reggie Bush. I thought of that
because it was real. That's what I was seeing out there. I mean,
the guy's phenomenal with his moves and the way he runs with the
football. It's fact."
Some are calling the Heisman Trophy winner St. Reginald, playing
off the real St. Reginald of Orleans, who lived in France centuries
ago. Other's call him "the President."
Whatever he's called, he's generated unbridled excitement among
football fans in the Gulf South -- so much so that the Saints are
enjoying record season ticket sales despite the fact that much of
New Orleans remains heavily damaged from Hurricane Katrina last
Bush will be well compensated.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis declined to discuss the
financial terms of the contract Sunday afternoon, but noted, "We
were sensitive ... to the fact that Reggie expected to be the first
Bush was the second overall pick after Houston took defensive
end Mario Williams, then signed him to a six-year, $54 million
contract, with $26.5 million guaranteed. Reported incentives could
increase the value of Williams' deal to a little more than $60
In negotiations between Bush and the Saints, "We had to do some
compromising on both sides to get to a deal that we both felt good
about, or both felt bad about, depending on how you look at it,"
Loomis said.
Bush's agent, Joel Segal, was in Jackson on Sunday to work
through details with Saints senior football administrator Russ
Ball, who Loomis credited with doing the "heavy lifting."
Saints officials were unsure whether Bush would find a flight
into Jackson late Sunday night or Monday. By Sunday afternoon, he
had missed the first five practices of training camp.
"It's important to get [Bush] in here when we're in pads,"
coach Sean Payton said. "He hasn't been in pads for us. It is a
new offense for him and so there's a lot of nuances that go on to a
rookie's plate and a lot things that really are on him."
The signing heightens the likelihood that Michael Bennett, a
former Pro Bowl running back who came to the Saints as a free agent
before the draft, will be traded.
"Michael has done everything we asked and he's in a bit of a
tough position because he signed here not knowing that we were
going to draft Reggie Bush. We didn't know that either," Loomis
said. "It could be that he's on our team and it could be another
opportunity comes along."
Bennett has said he appreciated the Saints' position when Bush
fell to second in the NFL draft.
"I'm just looking forward to getting his autograph on a
jersey," Bennett said after practice Sunday. "I'm not frustrated,
because if I was an organization and the guy fell to my team with
the second pick, I would pick him too. He does some great things on
the field."
However, Bennett said he would prefer a trade to seeing little
action this season and added that he believes the Saints are
sympathetic to his situation.
"They've communicated to me they're going to take my best
interests at heart," Bennett said. "I don't want to have to sit
here and maybe get one or two reps of practice. I'm a guy who needs
to be in there getting reps whether it be on special teams or
something. I can't really sit back and watch because it really
starts to make me itch a little bit."

This was my third attempt to watch Bakemonogatari and I'm glad to announce that it does get better. In a world of fast paced anime, it can be hard to slow down and watch a show that spends fifteen minutes of a twenty-four minute episode in the back of a car. When I say that Bakemonogatari is slow, I mean it moves at a pace slower than molasses. Characters spend whole episodes sitting ...
It was great, totallyThe anime is very interesting and appealing to the eye, which keeps me coming back for more. I love the Araragi as a character as a character. He's very relatable as a person, well, more as a guy. I do find that the anime does take some adjusting to because of the cut scenes that I'd have to admit are a bit quick for the first season. I did love that, even though I didn't at first, I came to love ...Read more

This collection of anime is all about mystery. Enjoy the ride. You aren't meant to necessarily know what's happened in the past.

1 Bedroom Beach level Condo in Amazing Sapphire Beach 'sleep 4 max'
Ocean Front...Open the door and walk straight to the beach
Close to All Attractions and Activities. Close to Magen's bay, Red Hook, Ferry to St. Johns
Pool, Marina, Tennis, Snorkeling, Diving, Jet Ski, Parasailing, Kayaking, Deep Sea Fishing, Sailing, Restaurant, and many more all in the resort.
Keywords: Beach, condo, walk right out to the beach. Sapphire, resort, marina, best snorkeling, duty free shopping, top, couples, relax, pool, renovated, wifi, internet, best.
We Love Sapphire Beach and Marina, It has so much to offer. We falled in love the first time we visited. The building surrounded by palm trees and the amazing scenery, islands and turquoise waters... Breathtaking views! Once you enter our condo, you can see the turquoise waters through the window... but the best part of all, is stepping out into the Beach. The fact that you can open the sliding doors and put your feet on the sand is priceless. Say no more... we can't wait to go back...
The Owner purchased this condo in 2010
St Thomas has a lot to offer. You can find a secluded beach, amazing coral reef, duty free shopping with the best brands and great gourmet food. Sapphire is a great resort. The people are kind and helpful. The beach is amazing and one of the best for snorkeling in the island. Our condo not only is on the beach side of the resort, but also is protected from the wind and sun. Even more, the fact that it is beach level, allows us to open the door and BAM! feet on the sand.
While staying at our property, you enjoy the fact that you can walk to the reef and snorkeling right there. Even more, there are no steps to get to the beach.. Also, for those who like or have to work there is WIFI in the room included in the rate. Decorated in a unique comfortable modern and stylish way.
Hi Emi,
I stayed at B106 last week, and the stay was great! The condo is so nice, and the view is beautiful.
We took a family trip to Sapphire Delmar. We rented a car, which I highly recommend for St Thomas in general. It took about 30-45 minutes from the airport. Just a tip, GPS work on phones even if you don't have service on the island! That was very helpful, as roads are not marked well. The owner and manager were both reachable before we arrived. The condo is located in the Sapphire Beach Resort. There are 4 buildings (A-D), this one is on the ground level of the B building. There is free parking outside of the building. The condo itself is one long studio, with the patio doors acting as the source of light. The convenience of being on the ground floor, a few feet away from the water, was truly the best asset of the condo. The beach was clean with good snorkeling. The condo itself is dated, but clean. Double sink, shower (no tub), toiletries, safe, phone, king-sized bed, full kitchen, flat screen TV with satellite stations, fold out sofa, snorkeling gear, beach towels, and sand toys were provided. Minor things that were an inconvenience, depending on your level of tolerance on vacation: condo was a bit dark and one of the light fixtures was broken the entire time (manager stated unable to fix); no dish soap/sponge so bring/buy your own; internet connection was slow and intermittent, had to restart the router several times a day. We used the laundry machines at the marina which was sufficient. The pool was small, cold, empty. I would suggest perhaps having a binder of local restaurants/delivery, map, suggestions, contact info as these things were difficult to obtain with the spotty internet. I recommend in Red Hook - Fresh Market for produce/wine/beer, Lattes in Paradise for morning coffee/breakfast, Pesce for a nice Italian dinner. Overall, we had a great trip with minor inconveniences that I wish could've been resolved.
Rented Sapphire Delmar for my parent's 55 wedding anniversary trip. The condo was beautiful, well equipped, clean and has the best beach right out the back door. All of the staff and security were very friendly and helpful. My parents had a wonderful trip and a great stay at Sapphire del mar and I would recommend this condo unit to anyone. The beach is big and snorkeling right outside your back door you will find turtles and tons of tropical fish. Its close to Red Hook which has everything you need, restaurants, bars and shopping. See you next year.
We had a great anniversary trip! The condo is fabulous. Right on the beach. We loved every minute and cant wait to come back. Emi was great and easy to contact.
Thank you, I had a wonderful time. Your unit is beautiful. Family members that rented 3 other units were in awe over your unit, the size of the TV and the complete stove with an oven. We returned home with many great memories.
This condo is in a great location. It is accurately described, clean, and has nice decor.
If you are looking for a patio that meets with a white sandy beach and brings you only steps from the turquoise and blue water & you enjoy snorkeling, or just want to lay on your raft, this is the place.
At night, you can listen to the gentle waves in the background as you dine on your patio or relax in your comfortable accommodation.
The pool is large and has a cool design and the beach is also nice for walks.
You are next to the Sapphire Resort marina which has great excursions to St John and to the BVI's. We took the Breakaway Charters tour to BVI- it was perfect. Daily, when the local fisherman "Double header" come in, they usually have some fresh fish to sell.
Red Hook is very close, we took the car ferry to St. Johns, which was also a good day trip. There are a great deal of excursions for you to do, but the convenience of the condo , having your lounge chair(s), snorkel gear on hand, a nice swimming pool, and the spectacular Sapphire Beach, is a big plus.
The contact person for this unit, was helpful as well. We definitely enjoyed our stay here and had a great vacation.
If you're looking for a beautiful unit for 2-4 people on one of the most spectacular beaches on St Thomas, this is it. Our family spent 5 nights here and had a fantastic time. You literally step off the unit's ground floor deck and into the sand. 40 steps takes you to an amazing beach with great swimming and excellent snorkeling. Though the complex is showing its age, the interior of this unit is very modern and well kept. There are limited opportunities for beverages or food in the complex as the former restaurants and bars are closed down, but a quick trip to the mall on one of the safari taxis can have you provisioned for your stay. The close proximity of the unit to the beach is very convenient when you need to refresh your daiquiri! We are already planning our return...!

return list(repr(r) for r in rows)
repeatedly I find that the first time I get the correct data and subsequent times some or all of the rows have their values replaced by their defaults. Eventually all the rows are reset to defaults. Fields without default values are not touched.
If I comment out the line that sets
lazyUpdate in the class definition, it works fine (presumably with many more writes to the db). If I comment out the call to
syncUpdate it still fails. Changing the default to a different value (like -1) still fails. It's not some lingering schema setting as I've deleted the table and recreated it multiple times as I've been trying to resolve the problem.
FWIW, I'm using SQLObject 1.3.1, Python 2.7 and PostreSQL 9.1.

Energy Efficiency is One of the Best Ways to Cut GHG Emissions, say Federal Purchasers
Seventy-nine percent of U.S. federal government agency purchasing decision makers believe that energy efficiency is one of the most effective ways to meet energy needs, reduce energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new Zogby International poll sponsored by the Alliance to Save Energy and Schneider Electric.
However, 32 percent of agency decision makers say a lack of funding is a major obstacle to achieving mandated energy-efficiency goals. Eighteen percent say it is the lack of internal enthusiasm to execute, and another 18 percent see organizational barriers such as procedures as a major obstacle.
The survey finds that energy efficiency is a key priority for federal agencies. Thirty-eight percent of respondents said improving energy efficiency is among their top five priorities, while 36 percent say it is a second-tier priority. Only 21 percent report that improving energy efficiency is a low priority.
The independent survey of 201 government leaders asked participants to rate the importance of energy efficiency within their agencies and their ability to comply with federal energy efficiency requirements, as well as identify obstacles to that compliance and attitudes towards energy efficiency within the agency.
The poll, released in conjunction with the GOVgreen Conference, also finds that 66 percent of the decision makers see either cost savings (36 percent) or environmental benefits (30 percent) as the major driver of their agencies' energy-efficiency efforts.
Another finding reveals that 64 percent of these federal agency decision makers believe that the current national economic environment and potential tightening of their agency's budget might have an impact on their ability to implement energy-efficiency projects.
But 65 percent of respondents believe their agencies have a culture that encourages energy-efficiency practices throughout all levels and across all departments. Only 16 percent disagreed with that statement.
Nearly 50 percent report that the significance of energy efficiency in their operations has increased in the last two years, while 35 percent report the significance was about the same, and 11 percent say it has decreased.
Thirty-seven percent of respondents report that their agencies are applying practices like continuous monitoring, recommissioning technologies and maintenance to ensure energy savings are maintained and improved throughout their facilities' lifecycle, while 17 percent say their agencies are not making a great effort.
The report also finds that 53 percent of government leaders say their agencies have metered and audited all or most of their facilities in order to understand their energy consumption trends, benchmark building energy use, determine energy efficiency investment priorities and measure and verify the impact/success of those investments.
In September, the White House released federal agencies' sustainability plans, providing a first look at how the government plans to decrease its greenhouse gas emissions over the next 10 years.
Reader Comments
This is very good. But I have a question.
In this months Transmission & Distribution World page 8 (Any Fear of Dynamic Pricing) para 4 contains the following statement: aprrox half of all (US) states now have a means of compensating utilities for lost revenue as a result of energy efficiency initiatives".
Although Europe is moving away some what from socialism, it is most gratifying to see the corporate form still alive and well in the land of free enterprise. Corporations of the world unite you have nothing to lose but your (government) subsidies (cannt remember who said that – some chap called marx I think).

text: So it's become clear that sub rules aren't getting solved anytime soon. So what I've done here is create a set of rules that we can build upon. I am a strong believer that nothing is ever going to get done by theorying all day, so hopefully this ruleset could spawn some talking points. The main gripe I have with sub rules right now is that it relies on sort of an honour code for people not to abuse a pretty glaring loophole. Here we have the substitution rules in the Referee Resource Thread: As it stands, there have been several debatable keywords used in substitutions today (AND NOT, UNLESS, NON-CONSECUTIVELY, cascading everything, etc.), but I'll set them aside for now. This thread aims to codify what is legal in attack substitutions. Attack substitutions aim to allow battlers to substitute for a single situation. And immediately we see a problem—the problem that defines most sub arguments. What is "a single situation"? And to what extent can battlers "substitute"? I think the crux of the debate boils down to that. We see that the basic formula for a substitution is IF X THEN Y. So, quite simply, all we have to do is codify what is legal for X and what is legal for Y. Right? X will now be termed as the trigger, Y as the response. Trigger Triggers must only be one specific instance. Keywords such as AND may be allowed to specify the trigger to a narrower instance. They can be a substitution for an Attack, Command, a Substitution Class (see above), the presence of status, Chance/KO Substitutions, or the presence of an existing condition to a Pokemon (has a substitute, has screens, etc.) (these may apply to the user or the opponent). -It may be specified on which action the trigger may activate. -It may be specified on in what specific circumstances the trigger may activate. However, this specific circumstance must be the presence of another legal trigger. -Derivatives of Attacks, Commands, or Substitution Class may be used, unless it inclues a move which is part of a sub class that is included in the trigger. -Pokemon have prior knowledge of what actions the opponent ordered. -You cannot use more than one individual move from the same move class to be used for the same action by the same pokemon in the same substitution. IF Fire Punch AND you do not have a substitute up: Legal. IF Fire Punch ON action 1 or 3: Legal IF Fire Punch is ordered on any action: Legal IF damaging Fire type move is ordered on any action AND another damaging fire type move is ordered on any action: Legal IF NOT Fire Punch: Legal IF Fire Punch on A1 AND Protect on A2: Legal IF Fire Punch on A1 AND NOT Protect on A2: Legal IF Fire Punch on A2 AND you used Protect on A1: Legal IF damaging Fire Type move AND NOT Fire Punch: Illegal IF less than 12 en: Illegal Response Response must be a direct reaction to the trigger. The response may not include any further conditional clauses. Hence, responses such as: Pushback WHEN X is replaced Is illegal because 'WHEN' is conditional. -Responses must be universal for all instances of the trigger, with two exceptions: You may choose to add exceptions for consecutive instances of the trigger. -Responses may include action strings. THEN replace with action string X~Y~Z upon consecutive uses: Legal THEN alternate X~Y upon consecutive uses and pushback: Legal THEN alternate X~Y upon consecutive uses and pushback on replacement of protect: Illegal THEN protect and pushback, but not consecutively: Legal Discuss.

this was fantastic - we followed this recipe for the tempeh, then simmered with some marinara sauce and served over spaghetti squash - even our 3-yr old cleaned his plate!
I loved this recipe- I ended up eating half of the tempeh out of the pan while it was cooking but did end up saving some for my meal. Really, really easy and super delicious.
We really enjoyed this! My husband is a sausgae lover and avoids all things soy, but ate this without complaint. He said he wouldn't mistake it for Italian sausage, but it was still good. That's high praise coming from him. Served with marinara over spaghetti and look forward to trying it as a pizza topping. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I must admit I was surprized by this recipe! It tastes wonderful and was easy to make! I am using it to make spaghetti tonight. My husband, a real meat eater, loved it!

Ted's Kids Are Gonna Be So P*ssed: The Final Season of "HIMYM" Will Take Place Over the Course of One Weekend
By Dustin Rowles | Trade News | May 15, 2013 | Comments ()
The rumors are true, folks. While we have met the mother on "How I Met Your Mother," the original plan -- for Ted to meet the mother in the final episode -- is still intact. According to CBS President Nina Tassler, the entire final season will take place during the 56 hours of Barney and Robin's wedding weekend. But wait! There's more:
CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler has now confirmed for TVLine that Season 9′s entire run will, in fact, span the wedding weekend and just the wedding weekend, as the comedy details "how each character, before Ted, meets the mother. So, they each meet her independently before he does."
Great, so we'll all be tired of the mother of Ted's children before Ted even meets her. It sounds like the sitcom version of "24," although I suppose there is some possibility of crazy-bananas awesomeness. I just worry how many times over the course of 56 hours, Robin or Barney will get cold feet, and how many times Ted confesses his love to Robin in the hours before the wedding.
It's going to be a long year, and the biggest reason to watch -- the mystery behind the mother's identity -- has already been solved. Those poor kids. They've known all along who the mother is. Imaging how impatient they must be for him to FINISH THE GODDAMN STORY ALREADY.

Stayed in a double double bedroom for 4 while traveling with family. Boston seemed to be a hard place to get a reasonably priced hotel room, and this was good for the price. The rooms are large and spacious - with a nice view of the city. Everything looks really clean, new and contemporary. The lobby has some cool artwork, the concierge had some good recommendations of seafood restaurants readily available, and were happy to make reservations. There is a good selection of restaurants around, and most of the city and sights downtown are reachable by foot. We especially liked the iPhone dockingstation and speakers in the room, and the fact that there was free wifi. Would stay again.

BELLA runs a little over 90 minutes, but there are plenty of complexities within the storyline. The film also confronts the issue of perceptions, and how people perceive one another without complete communication. As the film proceeds, the character's stories are intricately told in quick snapshots. The most interesting aspect of the film is how it starts at a fast pace revealing fragments of the main characters' lives, Jose (Eduardo Verastegui), a Chef, and Nina (Tammy Blanchard), a waitress, who work for Jose's brother, Manny (Manny Perez). One day Nina is 20 minutes late for work because she was very ill; unfortunately she gets fired without having to completely explain her situation -- she's pregnant. And this incident begins the film, and Nina's constant pondering of what to do with the rest of her life, keep the child or abort it, and Jose confronting his demons of a past life he left behind four years ago.
There are plenty of moving scenes in the film that tug at the heartstrings. However, there are two scenes that stood out.Read more ›
This litmus test seemed to work. We sat through the movie, laughing, getting teary-eyed, and warmed by this story's simple passion and grace. "Bella" is shot with great love for its characters. Even the unlikeable ones become special by the end. Following mostly one day in the lives of Jose (soccer-star-turned-chef) and Nina (waitress-and-expecting), it's hard not to become wrapped up in their pasts, their burdens, their hopes, and their hesitant dreams. Together, they build upon a friendship that will give them both a chance at redemption. The way these elements come together is subtle and magical.
From the humorous scenes around the dinner table, to the heart-wrenching flashback, to the understated conclusion, "Bella" is near perfection. Watching it a second time, I was awed by the gentle economy of every shot, every scene, and each facial expression. While I loved "Juno" for its edge and endless wit, "Bella" deals with the issue of unwanted pregnancy too, and does so with its own unique charm.
In the last year, this has to rate in my top five favorite films. It's a film the whole family can watch, though much of its sensitivity will be better appreciated by those who have lived a few years and faced some of life's struggles. What a joy!
She is expecting. Suffering from morning sickness, she is tardy or absent from her waitress post. Having little time for tolerance, Manny fires her without due process. Seeming to have less at stake, Jose follows her and tries to find and give her understanding. He is able to soothe her with badly needed tenderness in her own life. We discover that her boyfriend requires an abortion, a prospect that brings both resignation and tears to her eyes. In the meantime, Jose' has had a tragic past with a young child in his own life. Previously, a city soccer star, Jose' is forced to work for Manny whose martinet demeanor make anything after soccer a viable alternative. As she is introduced to Jose's family, they side with Manny until Jose's preference gives the family time to warm up and get to know her better.
"Bella" is a wonderful, haunting little movie. The chemistry between the couple is marvelous to watch from its fruition, and the way they come to terms with their difficult situations make the movie a cathartic and heartwarming movie experience. (Written and Directed by Alejandro Gomez Monteverde)

It was just a picture that I sent to my wife during my long weekend away at Siggraph, to indicate that I missed her. Today of course, it seems equally applicable, since I'm spending my day trying to sort out car troubles.

According to Variety, Nazis had developed a 'sophisticated stereoscopic camera' to record athletes as they crossed the finish line in the 1936 Olympics.Philippe Mora, a filmmaker who has previously found evidence of Nazi using 3D in propaganda movies, believes Nazis used a twin-camera Zeiss Ikon system to film all Olympic track events. The camera was triggered by the starting gun and amazingly, could develop 3D footage within 7 minutes for referees to review. The goal of the 3D cameras was to more accurately time events and determine winners. Hah. I just love the idea of Nazis watching Jesse Owen smoke their asses over and over again. Alternatively, this proves that 3D is inherently evil. Jooke. Not really. [Variety via DVICE]Reply62 repliesLeave a reply

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes

Original article Being attacked by name on the floor of the U.S. Senate that is. Like being named to Nixon's or Clinton's enemies list, it proves you're having an impact. The Pulitzer, Polk, and Peabody and other such awards are mere circle jerks by establishment media and count for little but as a resume enhancement. Being personally denounced by powerful enemies is an honor all its own.
Original article " 'But look how different things are on this side. It's like Disneyland,' responded Ramirez. Not only was the town filled with prized groceries, but everything was much cheaper than on Venezuelan black market, now the only alternative for people who don't have time to spend in the hours-long lines for scarce goods that have become the most salient feature of the oil country's economic crisis."

"
Original article Apple CEO Tim Cook didn't want to waste his time co-starring in McCain's media circus? Go figure? I'm more amazed that anyone would show up for one these contrived dramas that benefit no one but the pols and Big Media.
Original article Former top lawdog Lee Baca plead guilty to lying about prisoner abuse to the FBI. This is the same mofo that doesn't think anybody in LA county needs a gun, other than ex-cops, movie stars, and the well-connected, which shows how flawed his judgment is.
Original article And was VERY butt-hurt about that! Blames his denial and subsequent embarrassment to a conspiracy by the NRA, anti-Semites, and unnamed enemies, but forgot to mention his public record of alcohol abuse and domestic violence.
Original article Even with a budget of millions, no one at MDHS thought to pay someone to check the info printed on their food stamp cards. Now they all need to be destroyed and replaced. Another milestone for American idiocracy
