SOURCE: Monahan, Julie. "Rape and Death and the Maiden." Off Our Backs 25, no. 4 (April 1995): 18.
In the following review, Monahan argues that Polanski's interpretation of Death and the Maiden confuses sexual assault with sex and demonstrates Polanski's "bumbling understanding of sexual violence."
What, one wonders, attracted renegade director Roman Polanski to Death and the Maiden, Ariel Dorfman's story of torture and revenge in South America?
Visual clues abound, as we watch Polanski transmogrify an examination of human morality to the ever—titillating cinematic treatment of rape and sexual abuse.
Paulina, played by Sigourney Weaver, is a survivor of political torture during the reign of a repressive dictatorship. Her husband, Gerardo (Stuart Wilson), a former leader in the underground resistance, is now a lawyer who heads a commission charged with bringing the government death squads to justice.

Always a good buy 01/17/2013
This review is from: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
Western Digital has made a good reputation for themselves over the years as a trusted HDD manufacturer. This 1TB blue drive is no exception. It performs very well as I would expect from Western Digital's higher class of HDD. I see many other reviewers have already given various statistics on drive speed and performance, which as another reviewer pointed out varies widely depending on your particular computer setup. Instead I'll report how it performed using it as a clone master in a recent job I needed to perform. In my classroom I had 24 computers that needed Windows 7 Pro, Office 2010, Adobe CS6 Suite and various other programs and utilities loaded. A total installation of about 75GB worth of data. I decided to use this 1TB drive to act as the master image to ghost to all 24 500GB Western Digital drives contained in the computers. While creating the master image on this drive it performed as I would expect a 7800RPM drive to act, very fast and efficient. All went well during the Ghosting process to the 24 other HDD drives. The drive took a pretty good beating but I ran into zero problems. Once I finished cloning the computers I installed the drive into my home server to add another TB of space. Over the years I have copied many of my favorite DVDs to HDDs in my sever, spreading across a 250GB, 500GB and a 640GB drive I have installed. I consolidated my favorite, most watched DVDs onto this drive (~860GB) and have been using the drive for about 2 weeks now in that capacity. Once again I've had zero problems and expect it to be that way for a long time to come. I have had a few bad drives from Western Digital over the years (about 3) but they always failed either right out of the box or within a few days (one was due to UPS playing soccer with it during their break time). Many of my tech friends report the same thing as well. So if the drive lasts for over a few days you can usually expect it to last for 3 to 5 years.
This drive only comes with a 2 year warranty. It was not that long ago that Western Digital always gave a 3 year warranty on their drives. This is one of my reasons for subtracting a star from the rating. Western Digital does offer a drive with a 3 year warranty (the black series) but you pay more for this drive. This blue series drive should also carry a 3 year warranty.
Other Thoughts:
Except for the underwhelming warranty, this is a solid buy in my opinion. The price could (should?) be a lower given that 3TB to 4TB drives have been on the market for a while now. This is another reason for the 4 star rating. It seems that HDD prices flattened out a while back, then actually raised sharply (This was blamed on a flood? I remember when high RAM prices were blamed on a fire years ago, so, yeah, whatever). Prices have yet to drop below what they were a few years ago. SSDs in my opinion are still too high priced and buggy to use as a permanent alternative to mechanical HDDs, so I'll be sticking with them for a while.

Jesse James Won't Cry Over Baby Louis AnymoreChris Rogers
Jesse James is currently promoting his memoir, American Outlaw, and sucking the life out of what is left of his fifteen minutes. The man, who will always be known as the idiot who cheated on Sandra Bullock, has forgiven himself and is adamant about directing all of his attention his three children Chandler, Jesse Jr., and Sunny.
James was in the process of adopting baby Louis with Bullock before all the drama surfaced. But Bullock later removed Jesse's name from the adoption papers.
"I could only cry so much about [Louis] until I have to suck it up and keep a stiff upper lip and realize, Hey, [there are] three kids that I do have," he says in a Nightline interview airing tonight (May 4). "I need to take care of them and not worry about the one that I don't, you know, and I think that's the lesson," he says, adding, "I've never seen Louis since everything [happened]."
I'm not sure how I feel about Bullock removing James from the adoption papers despite his cheating scandal. It depends how far in the process they were. But it's almost like being pregnant and saying "Oh, you no longer have anything to do with this child." Parents divorce, not children.
What do you think? Is Jesse entitled to be Louis' father?

My guess is that she's full of poo about it being readily available in the bedroom or she's shot him down so many times in the past that he just doesn't bother asking anymore. Maybe he just likes porn and he's ashamed or thinks she'll give him poo, so he just watches it after she sleeps in another room. She should suggest watching it with him, or just have it on when he gets home / gets into bed. Or, maybe she's just really bad in bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recently did a fresh install of 3.3.2. I noticed that I am unable to add a new post or a new page (although I can edit existing). I have a similar problem to the posts below:
A large section of the add new post/page webpage is just blank. I've tried everything suggested and have no idea what the problem is.
I'm wondering if it may be a file permissions error. I'm on a shared server where my user owns all of the files, meaning I had to change the group owner of the wp-config file to http for the installation to work. Are there any other files/directories that may need the web servers group ownership to add new posts/pages?

Boils and Skin Eruptions
Dependent upon where the body reveals boils or skin eruptions of this kind will give you an indication of where the issue of trust needs to be looked at. For instance, if boils manifest between the legs on the upper thighs, this may signify that there are areas of mistrust and anger over sexual issues or security issues, such as family, money or job. If a sty develops over an eye, there may be mistrust that has been denied. The eye indicates that it is time for you to see it.
Where symptoms reveal themselves on the body is further language that needs to be understood. The throat is our control center. If we manifest cysts or boils in the throat area, we are speaking to being angry over something we cannot control or anger over someone or something trying to control us. And since the throat is our "Beech" or intolerance center, the flower "Beech" may be just what is needed to help heal these types of cysts.
In order to heal these types of skin eruptions, the emotion of anger must be healed. Use of the correct flower is dependent upon how you were taught to channel your anger. (See section on Healing the Emotions) With people who manifest rashes or skin eruptions, I usually find that they have a number of anger layers stuck in the system. For instance, if I work with someone who has a "Beech" or intolerance layer, as they heal their intolerance, they may begin to feel more anger emerging in the system. The next layer that might reveal itself may be a "Willow" or resentment layer. So once you pick a flower that sounds most like the issue you are dealing with at this moment, you may begin to experience angers that have been buried beneath the most recent layer. Always go with what you are feeling in the moment you are in. Each layer can take anywhere from four to eight weeks to heal it.
Once you begin to heal the emotions associated with the condition, you must also begin to heal the physical body that has created this imbalance for you to look at. It is imperative that the liver and spleen are cleansed which will become blocked when we store anger. In order to do that we must first eliminate the foods that aggravate digestion, including fried food, hydrogenated oils, pork, cow dairy products, city water, artificial ingredients including colors, preservatives and sweeteners, oranges and orange juice as well as caffeine and chocolate.
When someone is dealing with skin eruptions the blood system may need detoxifying as well. A cleansing formula that contains Red Clover and Burdock can help. You should be able to find an herbal cleanser with these two herbs at your local health food store. Michael's Vitamins makes a product called "Blood Detoxifier" that I find helpful. Herb Pharm makes one called Red Clover-Stillingia combination that does a wonderful job for helping cleanse these types of ailments.The tissue salt Silicea is considered the cleanser and eliminator of the body. It helps the body break up accumulations that have become stuck in the system including boils, abscesses, and sties.
I like to recommend a tissue salt called Silicea which acts as a cleanser and eliminator which helps to move toxins that may have built up in the system over time. Silicea is also the main constituent of the hair, skin and nails.
Borage oil, which contains mucilage, can be helpful in the removal of toxins from the body.. of which boils and skin eruptions would fit this description.

EXPLOSION ABOARD T.W.A. FLIGHT 800: VICTIMS;Lives of Beauty and Business, Sports and Scholarship, Youth and Age
Published: July 19, 1996
(Page 2 of 2)
Both Danielson and Midland Financial are traded on the American Stock Exchange, and activity in both companies was halted yesterday after the news came out that the executives had been on the plane. Neither company would say anything about the impact on the firms as a result of the deaths of the three men.
"He took more joy in the process of doing deals than anyone I know," an investment banker said of Mr. Rhein. "Nothing unsettled him. He didn't get knocked off stride. I never saw him lose his cool."
As it happened, Mr. Gray was supposed to fly to Paris out of Washington but a late meeting caused him to miss his flight, so he drove to New York and joined the two other executives on Flight 800.
A Star's Teacher
She did not marry and have children of her own, but all her students were her children and they were family enough. Lois Van Epps taught English and drama at Edgemont High School in Scarsdale, but most of all she bonded with almost every student who sat in her classroom.
"A teacher about whom I have never, ever heard a bad word," said William J. Smith, the school's principal. "She had an uncanny ability to touch kids."
Back in 1964, when she was teaching drama and English at Morton East High School in Cicero, Ill., she told a 16-year-old named Joe Mantegna that he ought to become an actor.
Mr. Mantegna was a junior at Morton East and the lead singer in a rock-and-roll band. When she saw him perform once, she discerned a different talent. She lured him into the drama department and directed him in his first play.
"Up to that point, I had no more interest in acting than the man in the moon," Mr. Mantegna said. "She was the first director I had. And she was absolutely instrumental and vital to me in being the performer I am today."
Mr. Mantegna recounted an eerie experience he had yesterday. "I'm at an age now where it takes a lot to really shock me," he said. "But when I watched the news on the crash, I had this uncanny feeling that I knew somebody on board that plane. Unfortunately, I did."
Andy Warhol's Decorator
Jed Johnson was looking to get a new business going, and what better place to shop for exquisite antiques than Paris.
Mr. Johnson, 47, was an interior decorator who, in collaboration with his life partner, Alan Wanzenberg, an architect, had reached the top echelon of his profession. The dwellings of the wealthy and the celebrated bore his inimitable stamp. Richard Gere. Mick Jagger. Andy Warhol.
He burst into public notice in the late 1960's and early 1970's as a close companion of Mr. Warhol's. It was Mr. Johnson who found and at least partly decorated Mr. Warhol's apartment on East 66th Street, and he lived there himself from 1975 to 1980. He served as an editor on several Warhol films, and directed the 1977 movie "Andy Warhol's Bad."
John Clausen, his assistant, said that Mr. Johnson was embarking on a textiles business and was bound for Paris on Flight 800 to establish textile connections and to hunt for antiques.
Yesterday afternoon, friends of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Wanzenberg, including Fran Leibowitz, the writer, and Pat Hackett, the editor of Mr. Warhol's diaries, gathered at the couple's apartment on West 67th Street. Steven M. L. Aronson, a writer, remembered meeting Mr. Johnson in the early 1970's:
"I used to see him every day walking those famous dachshunds in the park. He was soft-spoken, but there was something radiant about him."
When he learned of the crash, Mr. Aronson said, he had been making out his own will, because he was scheduled to fly to Paris on Saturday, and he feared flying.
A Scholar's Reward
For Constance Coiner, 48, the trip was to be her reward for a year of achievement.
In the spring of last year, she was awarded tenure as associate professor of English and general literature and rhetoric at the State University in Binghamton, N.Y., where her impassioned discussions on social justice were known to move her students to tears. In the fall, she was cited for excellence in teaching by the chancellor of SUNY. Last week, she finished the manuscript of her second book, a collection of essays on parenting among academics, which she co-edited with a colleague.
And so she and her 12-year-old daughter, Ana Duarte-Coiner, decided they would go to Paris and celebrate. Just this spring, Ana had made a roundup in the local newspaper as one of Binghamton's brightest students.
A Chunk Torn From a Town
In more than one case, the crash gnawed big chunks out of small towns. Stevenson, Ala., a hamlet of just 2,300 people, lost five citizens.
Thomas Weatherby and Joseph Scott, inseparable 13-year-old friends and determined Boy Scouts, had been talking about the big trip incessantly. They smiled at the thought of hiking through the mountains of France. It was to be the biggest trip of their young lives.
Joseph's parents, Michael and Barbara Scott, had planned for months to go to France. Mr. Scott was a physicist and his wife a nurse. Every year Mr. Scott made a point of scheduling a trip with his son because he fretted that he did not spend enough time with him.
Joseph wanted his friend to go, too. Thomas and his mother, Brenda Privette, wondered long and hard if they could afford the trip. Finally, they decided they could.
The two women were going to shop in Paris and return after a week. Mr. Scott planned to remain and take the boys hiking for two more weeks.
Barry Privette, Mrs. Privette's husband of only eight months, stayed behind. He was busy at work, and the couple had been building a house.
Once it learned what did not seem possible, the speck of a town reeled in its misery. Tommy Lands, the Stevenson police chief, went around yesterday and lowered flags in memory of the families. A candlelight vigil was planned at North Jackson High School.
"We just haven't got hold of it yet," said Don Privette, Mr. Privette's brother. "We're just trying to cope with it."

Oh, you mean NEW mgmt. that gave out 100,000 share lot options priced at $1.47?
LOL, ya, they're looking out for who again?
Wash off the stink and it's the same ol "steal from the company" with new boyz at the helm.
LOL !!! His analysis is so precise, it doesn't factor little pesky "details" like different management.
it would seem that if that is true a law firm somewhere would be willing to take on a shareholders lawsuit. against the excutives and all those involved.
No, they did it before with a $50 Million shelf offering and blew the whole wad, bought a fence company and sold it for and LOST $85 million on transaction.
No lawsuit.
Secondaries are put out there to tell people something is coming up, so they don't get sued when they buy something and price the Secondary at much lower price than stock is at currently.

If I throw a stone on space, in a place where gravity is equal zero, will the stone move forward forever, because no air, so no friction?
According to Newton's first law, yes. The velocity of any object will remain constant if no forces affect it. That holds in any Inertial frame of reference (if you are accelerating by yourself, then the stone will be accelerating relative to you, even if no forces act upon it).
From the perspective of General Relativity, assuming we can ignore interactions with intergalatic gas and the CMB then a thrown stone follows a curve called a geodesic. In general geodesics go on forever so your stone will be moving forever, just as Lev said in his answer.
However there are circumstances in which geodesic curves appear not to go on forever. I say "appear" because future theories of quantum gravity will probably change things, but at the moment we think that a geodesic that leads into a static black hole will just end when it hits the singularity at the center of the black hole. This idea is called geodesic incompleteness.
So the answer to your question is that the stone will almost certainly go on forever, unless it hits a black hole. Even then it would have to be a static black hole because for charged and rotating black holes the stone could miss the singularity and emerge again (into a different universe, but that's another story!).
Later: Oops, I've just seen Logan's comment and you did say "where gravity is equal to zero" so my comments about black holes don't apply. Still, I think the idea of geodesic incompleteness is interesting enough to warrant a mention.
I believe you are all using things you know little about to make your claim seem reliable. For example, from this simple strain of comments I have heard anything from black holes to the expansion of the universe. These things, although interesting, have nothing to do with whether or not a stone will halt after being thrown into space; the forces you have described (expansion of the universe) act upon all objects in the universe already, and therefore should be included in your initial observation. As far as black holes go, we cannot exactly pinpoint where everyone of them is, so we can surely infer that the object will eventually be acted upon by one. However, since we know not the location or magnitude of the black holes, we cannot assume the interaction will halt the object's movement. This therefore requires that black holes be taken completely out of the question.
Now, the answer to your question:
Yes, it will eventually stop, because gravity does not cease to exist in space, as derived by the formula for gravity, which employs two values, the Mass of the object and the Distance of the measurable object from another object. And, since surely there are objects in the Universe which possess both Mass and of course Distance from another object, we can assume that eventually the object will be acted upon by so many gravities (perhaps infinitely many), that eventually it will halt.
Actually the stone is NOT moving just and YOU are not moving as well. You just put the stone on a different reference frame and then ... it is not moving any longer. An ant on that stone would see YOU moving as you see the stone moving. If the question is : would that stone return to YOUR reference frame then the answer is : why would it do that? The stone has no memory and hence no potential willing to get back to your reference frame.
The main thing is that Einstein thinking was that anything that occur should be described independantly from the observer point of view which is the complete opposite of quantum mechanics which does not consider the measured object but the measure itself (the observed point of view) which caracterize the object which exist just relatively to the oserver.
A lot of particles would hit the stone but statistically it would be hit equally from all direction and momentum so this may not affect the stone rest.
Expansion of the universe may affect it but that's another story (after some time it won't be longer a stone).

News Sprinkler Bill Passes Senate
posted by April 12 at 15:00 PMon
Senate Bill 1811—the legislation that pushes back for two years a requirement that all bars over a certain occupancy and size install costly sprinkler systems—passed the Senate last night and is moving on to the House, where it already passed in a different form. (A business and occupation tax credit for businesses that install the systems was cut from the Senate version.) Gov. Gregoire is expected to sign the bill.

Any time I go on vacation, I refuse to take a razor with me. Things were no different when I went to Colorado in the middle of July. I spent 5 days there, before flying back and hanging out for a couple days in Kansas City. But the worst part about coming back from vacation... is shaving. Alas, I had to say goodbye to a dozen days of quality growth. That's one of the sacrifices I make for being a grown up though. Here are a couple pictures to remember my old friend for... now I can't wait until October, so I can do it again.

Chairman and Principal Investigator, National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP)
Professor and Chairman of Human Oncology
Drexel University School of Medicine
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Dr.Wolmark is Chairman and Principal Investigator of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP). The NSABP has a 50-year-plus history of conducting large randomized clinical trials designed to improve the treatment and prevention of breast and colorectal cancers and quality of life for cancer patients. The Group has produced practice-changing clinical research in the surgical management of breast cancer, in the use of adjuvant therapies for breast and colorectal cancer, and in the prevention of these diseases. Dr. Wolmark and his BCRF colleague, Dr. Patricia Ganz, are working together on a cost of care/quality of life data collection study that is part of a SWOG/NSABP Phase III clinical treatment trial testing the combination of endocrine therapy with everolimus, a new targeted breast cancer treatment. With funding from BCRF, Drs. Wolmark and Ganz are collecting data on quality of life measures as well as assessing the costs that are likely to occur with the everolimus treatment. This will facilitate an examination of both the extended survival benefits, quality of life impact, and value (costs) of this targeted treatment at the end of the trial. Without the real time collection of data concerning side effects that may require additional tests and medical treatments, it would not be possible to estimate the additional cost of this new treatment. The increased cost of care includes the drug itself, which is considerable, along with additional costs that can be incurred due to increased toxicities resulting in additional office visits, prescribed medications to manage toxicities, as well as increased hospitalizations.
Norman Wolmark, MD is Chairman and Principal Investigator of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP), which is primarily funded by the NCI and is based on the campus of Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is also Professor and Chairman of Human Oncology, Drexel University School of Medicine, and Chairman of the Department of Human Oncology, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As chair of the NSABP, Dr. Wolmark has overseen the design and implementation of the group's breast and colorectal cancer trials since 1994. In the coming five years the group plans to continue its work in these areas, with increased focus on molecularly-driven research using the resources of its biospecimen bank and in concert with the Radiation Therapy Oncology (RTOG) and the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) legacy Groups as part of the new NRG Oncology Foundation, Inc.
Dr. Wolmark earned his MD at McGill University, Montreal, Canada and he subsequently completed his residency at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Wolmark was then appointed to the position of Cancer Expert at the Surgery Branch of the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Wolmark is a member of numerous professional societies, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and the American Surgical Association (ASA).
Dr.Wolmark is a reviewer for the Journal of Clinical Oncology and the New England Journal of Medicine, and an editorial board member of the Journal of Women's Cancer and Clinical Breast Cancer. He also serves on numerous boards and as an advisor to oncology programs, societies and institutes throughout the United States and Europe.

"Baxter State Park" Baxter State Park by Gilfeather
Baxter State Park Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 43 photos
Baxter State Park was a place I guess I took for granted growing up. I literally didn't see the forest for the trees. The surrounding area is where I lived and I never gave it much thought . I simply lived there. You know?
I have since been woken.
This picture was shot while I was on my hike to Daicey Pond.
The only person I ran into along the way was a wildlife photographer who was out looking for moose in the early morning hours.
I sure saw enough sign.
But I guess that morning, they were busy elsewhere, working on their Bullwinkle impersonations.
Daicey is a nice 1/2 day hike from the Katahdin Stream Campground. I took this shot off the porch of the cabin that houses the "Library".
There is a Park Ranger here who is friendly and will help campers out with any questions and such.
Secluded spot and very nice.
- Pros:Pristine and Untouched Wilderness
- Cons:Narrow Winding Roads...Use Caution!
- In a nutshell:This is not a place that should ever be taken for granted...

Mr Cunliffe will reallocate Mr Jones' portfolios of economic
development, Maori Affairs, forestry and building and
construction. It is likely that Nanaia Mahuta will take over
Maori Affairs and could also shift into Mr Jones' seat on the
front bench.
It is understood Mr Mallard will benefit from the changes as
Mr Cunliffe tries to harness his heavy- hitting style. Mr
Mallard was put on the backbenches and given minor portfolios
after Mr Cunliffe's appointment as leader.
He has played a fairly low-key role since then, other than
his crusade against animal testing for synthetic drugs.
Andrew Little is also likely to get a promotion. Others
expected to pick up some of Mr Jones' responsibilities
include Clayton Cosgrove, who has taken over the Countdown
supermarket issue, and possibly Damien O'Connor in forestry.
Mr Cunliffe had a meeting of his shadow Cabinet - the top 20
ranked MPs - in Hamilton yesterday. Mr Jones will deliver his
valedictory on May 21 and his fellow Northlander Kelvin Davis
will take his place in Parliament.

Police: man saved by seat beltApril 03,2013Police: man saved by seat belt
HARTFORD A New Hampshire firefighter is being recognized by the Vermont State Police with its Saved by the Belt award after he survived a head-on crash in Interstate 89 that killed three people in the other vehicle.
Vermont State Police Traffic Safety Commander Lt. Michael Macarilla presented the award Monday in Hartford to John Hill, of the Hooksett, N.H., fire department.
Macarilla says that by properly wearing his seat belt, Hill avoided serious injury or death.
Hill was off duty during the May 7, 2012, crash. He was headed south when a northbound vehicle crossed the median and hit him.
Hill suffered a broken arm, chest and leg injuries, but he returned to full duty at the fire department within six month of the crash.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

On Florida Coast, Homeowners Jittery
As oil-spill fear spreads onto the white beaches of Naples, here's what homeowners can do.
NAPLES, Fla. -- On a sugary white beach, a group of vacationers crowd around a small black blob. "It's a tar ball!" one exclaims.
I look closer. It's not. It's a sea squirt, a harmless creature that sometimes shows up on these shores.
But try telling that to anyone who visits a Gulf Coast beach these days—even here at Vanderbilt beach more than 900 miles from the Deep Horizon oil spill near the Southwest tip of Florida. Though the beaches were crowded this Memorial Day weekend, and local hoteliers reported few cancellations, the spill is the prime topic of conversation among residents and visitors alike—and that's sure to create problems for people trying to sell or rent their coastal homes for months to come.
On Wednesday, there were reports of an oil sheen on Florida's Panhandle shoreline, but still no evidence that the slick has reached us here. Psychologically, however, the damage has already been done. Neighbors at the vacation condo I own a block from the Gulf say they've smelled strange odors wafting off the waves (I smell normal fresh, sea air). On popular, pristine Vanderbilt beach, I watch as a British-accented mother grabs her toddler's arm as he tries to wade into the clear, aqua shallows. "I don't want you swimming in that nasty oil," she warns.
Her comment makes me anxious as I venture in, until signs of life dart past my leg–a silver school of guppies, pursued by a sand shark. I count the pelicans and ibises and try to remember if there were more or fewer of them than last year; I scan the waves looking for the familiar, plunging fins of dolphins. When I don't see any, I pray that they haven't migrated to the northern Gulf for the summer. I pray, too, that the latest efforts to snip and cap the endless spew of crude are successful.
No one really knows what the final toll will be to the coast's tourist-based economy, any more than they can predict what will happen to the ecosystem, especially once the leak is fixed and the summer's storms blow through. While the effects will undoubtedly be harmful, catastrophe is not a given. After all, the 1979 rupture of the Ixtoc I well off the coast of Mexico pumped some 425,000 gallons of oil a day into the Bay of Campeche for nearly a year, befouling Texas beaches some 500 miles north. Yet once the beaches were cleaned, both the environment and the tourist- and fishing-dependent coastal economies recovered.
So if you are trying to sell or rent out a place along the Gulf coast, try not to panic or lose perspective. The next few months will be hard, and may even delay what looked to be a robust real estate recovery (here in Naples, the overall median price increased 22 % in April from a year earlier, while sales were up 46%).
BP has promised $70 million to Gulf Coast states to promote tourism. But neither blandishments from BP nor happy talk from Chambers of Commerce are likely to help you sell or rent out your home while all eyes are on the Spillcam. Until the mess is cleaned up, here's how to cope:
- Address fears preemptively and honestly on your property's website, and don't try to gloss them over. Say "We realize you may be concerned about the oil spill; we are, too." Then link to local news stories, blogs and beach webcams to show conditions less dire than those shown on national media, which focus on hardest-hit areas.
- Visit your property, talk to your neighbors and take date-stamped pictures of the beaches nearest your property. Upload your findings as often as possible.
- In your advertising, focus on non-beach attractions, like live theaters, water parks, zoos, and golf courses.
- If you're a landlord, keep track of deals and incentives that nearby resorts, hotels and property managers are offering and match them.
- Remember that bad news brings out bargain hunters, so be prepared to negotiate. But don't let them take advantage of you by going below the discounts that other sellers or landlords are giving.
- Document any losses that you incur. If you're a landlord, keep track of cancelled reservations; if you're selling, get an appraisal or broker's price opinion now to serve as a baseline should property values fall. You'll need evidence if you pursue compensation from the government or BP.

Yield: Serves 6 to 8
Guacamole may be served in the traditional way -- that is, as a dip for tortilla chips -- but it is also wonderful on grilled hamburgers, spooned into tomato shells, or spread on bacon and tomato sandwiches. If I have any leftover Guacamole, I put it into the bottom of a salad bowl and thin it with a little Italian dressing to produce a fresh-tasting avocado dressing in seconds.

- 2 avocados, peeled, seeded, and sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Several drops of Tabasco sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:1. Place the avocado slices on a large plate and mash them with a fork. (This method creates a consistency that is smooth yet texturally interesting.) Blend in the garlic, shallot, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and Tabasco. Mix in the chopped cilantro. Transfer to a bowl and lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface to retard browning. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until lightly chilled.

Zotac has zee box for SFF fans
Subject: Systems | August 11, 2011 - 11:47 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: htpc, zotac, zbox, SFF
For those looking for a new nettop, the ZBOX HD-AD02 Plus is a new choice on the market. At a mere 7.4" x 7.4" x 1.7", it is easily hidden in any surroundings and with a list of connections including analog and optical audio out, HDMI, DVI, two USB 2.0 ports, ethernet, and most importantly two USB 3.0 and a single eSATA port. With a 250GB HDD installed, that means you can have access to high speed external storage. The system uses an AMD E-350 which means that not only will you be able to play HD video without worry you will be able to get some light gaming in as well. Head on over to ThinkComputers to see the new ZBOX in action.
"All-in-One PC's have been getting quite popular over the past few years. When Intel released the Atom processor we really saw All-in-One PC's become affordable. One of the most popular All-in-One series of PC's is Zotac's ZBOX. These really appealed to the SFF (Small Form Factor) and HTPC (Home Theater PC) crowd. Now Zotac is bringing AMD's Fusion E-350 APU in to the ZBOX's series. Today we will be taking a look at the ZBOX HD-AD02 Plus that packs the E-350 1.6GHz APU as well as integrated Radeon HD 6310 graphics, 2GB of DDR3, 250GB hard drive and WiFi. Let's take a look and see if it is the perfect SFF system for you!"

ASRock's small unassuming HTPC hides real power
Subject: Systems | August 2, 2011 - 03:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: asrock, CoreHT-252B, htpc
Inside the 195mm (7.6") x 70mm (2.8") x 186mm (7.2") ASRock CoreHT-252B HTPC you will find a Core i5 2520m, 8GB DDR3-1333, a Lite-ON Blu-ray combodrive and a 500GB Western Digital Scorpio Black HDD. Pretty much all that you would need to run a proper HTPC and in a form that will look fine sitting under a TV. For input and output you have S/PDIF, mic-in, headphone-out, HDMI 4.1a and VGA as well as 2 USB 3.0, 4 USB 2.0 and an eSATA3 port for data transfer if you don't want to use the wired or wireless NICs. They sell it without an OS, which can be welcome for those wanting to build a MythTV or other non-Windows MCE HTPC and Overclockers Club were also glad of the upgrade options that this HTPC offers. Head to their full review here.
"If, on the other hand, you want an HTPC that can also act as a desktop replacement, look no further. There's adequate power for rendering of all sorts and the included RAM ought to cover most non-professional needs, but, if more is required, the board does support 8GB. Storage can be upgraded to include another 2.5" storage drive, and the included WD Scorpio Black could easily be replaced with an SSD. If more power is needed, the board will support the Core i7 2720m for more processing power (two more cores and threads!). A Blu-ray drive and wireless 802.11n wireless are included as standard."

Western Digital offers a great way to store and stream your media
Subject: Systems | July 25, 2011 - 02:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: htpc, western digital
The Western Digital TV Live Hub is a 1TB external HDD with some extra tricks up its plastic sleeve. It's outputs include ethernet, USB 2.0, HDMI, Composite A/V, Component video and optical out, with support for an even wider variety of audio and video codecs but not for some premium services like iTunes and Amazon. Think Computers loved the onscreen interface controlled by the remote as well as the fact that it comes with a 1TB HDD so that you don't have to spend more money to get the full functionality of the media device, they would have loved to see some video cables included as well.
"For most people their TV is the center of entertainment in the living room. You watch cable television on it, you play your video game consoles on it and you watch DVD and Blu-ray movies on it. We all know there are devices for that, but what about all of the media you have on your PC? All the videos you have taken, shows you have downloaded and even the photos you have. No one wants to sit around a small computer screen and watch these. This is where the Western Digital TV Live Hub comes in. It is a HD media player that supports pretty much any file type and has a 1TB hard drive for all of your media. Let's take a look an see what Western Digital has brought to the table in the HD media player market!"

Can you go with wireless HDMI over USB 2.0 with VStream?
Subject: Systems | July 13, 2011 - 12:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: wireless, htpc, hdmi
At its heart the VStream WPCTV1080H is comprised of an L-shaped USB 2.0 dongle for your PC and a second dongle which plugs into the base station which also has a power cord and HDMI plug. This setup, along with a 2.4GHz dual core processor, is intended to transmit up to a 1080p signal wirelessly from the computer with the dongle to the base station and on to your TV. The Tech Report gave the $120 VStream a try and found that the bandwidth available over USB 2.0 caused some problems, ranging from dropped frames and colour banding when watching movies to nasty aliasing on 2D application, especially when they tried using it to connect to a 24 " monitor and used it to browse the web. Lets hope there is a USB 3.0 version in the works, or even a wireless DisplayPort model.
"This $120 adapter promises to output 1080p video wirelessly via nothing more than a USB dongle. Does it fulfill its promise, and is it worth the money?"

Tagged: htpc, llano, sandybridge; a3850; i3 2100, amd, Intel, APU
In one corner is the $140 AMD A8-3850 and in the other is the $135 Intel Core i3-2100T, with matching motherboards both about $100. We have seen how the new Llano chips stack up in computation and gaming but their use in HTPC systems is also important and requires different benchmarks. Bjorn3D takes a look at the two chips ability to properly render Blu-ray at the proper 23.976 fps naturally as well as taking advantage of Direct X Video Acceleration. Take a look to see how AMD's new APU can handle a role as an HTPC.
"In addition to being a capable mainstream APU, the Llano and the new Lynx platform have the potential to be a perfect match for a more capable HTPC system. In this article we are taking a look at the HTPC capabilities of the A3850 and a Gigabyte A75 motherboard, and contrasting it to a comparable Intel system with a Core i3-2100T and an ASRock H67 motherboard."

It's not a fan controller, it's an Antec Veris multimedia controller that sits in your 5.25" bays
Subject: Systems | June 29, 2011 - 03:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Veris Multimedia Station Premier, htpc, antec
Antec has released a product which can help turn a PC in to an HTPC. It sits in the same place a fan controller would, taking over two 5.25" bays and looking a bit like a high end car stereo. The Veris Multimedia Station Premier comes with a remote as well as the main unit which allows you control over the machine while you are sitting on the couch, including being able to turn the machine off. After eTechnix downloaded the latest version of the software they delved into the many features and settings that are available which they found a little overwhelming initially. Check out their full review here.
"Antec Inc was founded 25 years ago. They aimed their high-performance computer components and accessories products at the gaming, PC upgrade and DIY markets. Over the last 25 years Antec has built up a very good reputation and are now best known for their PC cases and power supplies. As they have moved into the HTPC case market it makes sense to expand on that segment to release other products which might give them an advantage in the market over their competitors.
They now produce a range of media component products from hard drive enclosures to multimedia stations. Today we take a look at the Antec Veris Multimedia Station Premier which is designed to be a complete solution for home theatre PC builders or those users looking to enhance the media experience of their PC.
The Antec Veris Multimedia Station Premier fits into two 5.25" drive bays and provides access to your PC using the supplied remote control as well as providing information on its inbuilt LCD display."

Pick up the Habey EMC-600B HTPC case for under $100
Subject: Systems | June 24, 2011 - 02:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: SFF, mITX, htpc, case
One challenge when building an HTPC is finding an enclosure that won't end up being half of the cost of building the machine. You could use a cheap SFF case but it will look a little gauche when sitting beside your other home theatre equipment. Habey now offers a choice with a $70 case and 120W PSU combo that would blend seamlessly into a living room with the new EMC-600B. There were compromises made in the design to keep the costs low, the most important of which is the lack of anywhere to put an optical drive which is exacerbated by the lack of any extra USB ports on the case. If that doesn't completely deter you then check out Missing Remote's full review.
"The Wesena ITX7, HDPlex H10.ODD and Vidabox vCase3 are all great cases with a direct focus on HTPC aesthetics and each has their pros and cons. The one con almost always present when discussing HTPC chassis is PRICE--SFF chassis with home theater A/V focused designs are frequently over the $100 price range, not including the power supply. What Habey is offering in their EMC-600B enclosure is a stylish aluminum SFF chassis for mini-ITX only that occupies a tiny footprint with a nice appearance to fit just as appropriately in your A/V stack as in your bedroom--and it includes a power supply, all for under $70."

CiragoTV aims for the new platinum standard for HTPCs
Subject: Systems | June 17, 2011 - 05:09 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: htpc, cirago
The CiragoTV Platinum Network Multimedia device comes in three flavours ranging from a $179 500GB to a $299 2TB version, all of which are identical apart from storage capacity. It is not really a true HTPC as it does not include a TV Tuner, but it does offer a little more than a plain network multimedia platform since it has a Bittorrent client inside. Legit Reviews tried it out and found Blu-ray ISO files to play perfectly and the device was capable of passing through DTS and Dolbly 7.1 digital sound to the receiver they used. As well, as long as you are feeding it signal through a cable box it can record TV, though the ability to download shows makes that feature slightly redundant.
"At $279.99, the 2TB CiragoTV CMC3200 has to be close to extraordinary especially when you match it up against the competition that is on the market today. The picture and video quality of the CMC3200 is very good – even excellent. The fact that we can record from a source and use a BitTorrent client makes the unit even more impressive. The sticker price is the biggest issue here..."

Habley Shows Off Small Atom PC Capable Of Playing Two 1080p HD Streams
Subject: Processors, Systems | June 12, 2011 - 08:57 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SFF, Intel, htpc, hd, DIY, atom
Habley has recently shown off a new small, embedded computer dubbed the SOM-6670E6XX. The new computer is the size of a post-it note; however, it sports an Atom E600 processor running at 1.0Gh as well as an integrated GMA600 graphics core. To be more specific, the motherboard in question measures 70mm x 70mm.
The CPU and GPU blend is able to support two displays and pipe two HD video streams to each. Using Media Player Class Home Cinema 1.5, the computer is able to play both a 1080p MPEG4 trailer of the X-Men First Class film and a HD FLV version of SpiderWic simultaneously. While playing both films, the CPU saw around 93% usage and 210 MB of RAM from the Windows Embedded 2009 operating system. Further, while playing an HD FLV film trailer while also watching an HD YouTube clip, the processor was again pegged at 93% usage; however, in this test the RAM usage was much higher, at 422 MB. The test system used, in addition to the SOM-6670, it consisted of a SOMB-073 Carrier board (which provides the various IO including video and audio output, mouse and keyboard input, and SATA ports), 1GB of on-board RAM, and a 5400RPM laptop form factor (2.5") 120GB hard drive.
Including the two monitors, at 1280x768 (over HDMI) and 1920x1080 (SDVO) respectively, the system drew 18 watts during usage. You can see the test system of the small HD-capable computer in action in the video below. What uses do you have in mind for a micro-sized computer such as this?

The Elgato EyeTV Hybrid is a USB 2.0 device that sports an antenna input, (MCX and an F connector), s-video, composite plus stereo audio and even an IR remote control sensor. You don't need to crack open your case to install it, you can watch TV right away as the drivers are contained within the EyeTV, much like a USB headset. Missing Remote tried it out and found it worked wonderfully by its self on both PCs and Macs. They did mention that integration with popular software like SageTV for Mac, Plex and XBMC would make this device even better.
"When home theater computers first came to market almost 10 years ago, the television tuners that were available were few and far between, all internal, and featured a whopping single tuner. How times have changed. Now, dual tuners are a given and hybrid tuners seek to accomplish the duty of one-size-fits-all for all customers. The Elgato EyeTV Hybrid is one of those that within its tiny dongle of a body contains an NTSC, ATSC and DVB-T tuner for $129, and works with both Windows and Mac computers. With competition so steep in the tuner world however, how does it match up in a real world evaluation?"

From 3.1 to 3.5: Version leap for Firefox?
Mozilla is considering changing the version number of the expected Firefox 3.1 to Firefox 3.5. This, according to developers, will emphasize the sheer volume of work and vast changes already undertaken in version 3.1.
The leap in version number, suggested at a Firefox/Gecko meeting on Wednesday, will not mean users having to wait another two years for the next ready-to-run Firefox release. Rather, the aim of the developers is to underline the amount of work and the number of changes in the finished version 3.1, (named Shiretoko, after a Japanese national park), including the implementation of TraceMonkey and support for video codecs Ogg/Theora and Dirac.
"The increase in version number is proposed due to the sheer volume of work which makes Shiretoko feel like much more than a small, incremental improvement over Firefox 3..." say the developers. Should the suggestion be accepted, the next Firefox will keep the version number 3.1 Beta 3, and Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 would follow. This will also result in changes in the Firefox repository, with trunk being renumbered 3.6a1.

|Three-Dimensional Surround Sound Systems Based on Spherical Harmonics (PDF-713KB)
|M. A. Poletti
|Based on spherical harmonics, this paper reviews and extends the three-dimensional theory of sound recording and reproduction. Three methods of recording are compared: free-space directional microphone arrays, pressure microphones mounted in a sphere, and free-space arrays with variable radii. An analysis shows that appropriate sound fields can be created without the requirement of dipole loudspeakers. In addition, mode matching can be extended to reverberant environments with nonideal loudspeakers.

|High-Order Digital Parametric Equalizer Design (PDF-708KB)
|Sophocles J. Orfanidis
|Unlike classical equalizers having first- or second-order filters, using higher order Butterworth, Chebyshev, and elliptic analog prototypes provides flatter passbands and sharper band edges. The analysis shows their advantages. Equalizer coefficients are computed using center frequency, peak gain, bandwidth, and bandwidth gain. The discussions on topology explore transposed, normalized-lattice, and minimum roundoff noise state-space realizations. Design methods apply equally well to low-pass and high-pass shelving filters and to ordinary bandpass and bandstop filters.

|Stability and Sensitivity Analyses for Diffusers with Single and Multiple Active Elements (PDF-402KB)
|Mark R. Avis, Lejun Xiao, and Trevor J. Cox
|Passive diffusers are used to improve spatial acoustics, but they are limited to mid and high frequencies because of the required depth. Alternatively, by actively controlling the surface impedance with an electronic control system, reflected wave fronts can be dispersed. While active impedance technology has been used usually to absorb sound and cancel noise, it can also be used for sound dispersion. Active diffusers are more difficult to use than active absorbers because of tighter requirements on system accuracy. Test results confirm that the stability of a real system is consistent with the theoretical analysis and that active diffusers are prone to instability.

|Acoustic Analysis and Design of Miniature Loudspeakers for Mobile Phones (PDF-641KB)
|Mingsian R. Bai and Jerwoei Liao
|Increasing needs for audio quality in miniature loudspeakers used in mobile phones requires tradeoffs not found in conventional large loudspeakers. Miniature loudspeakers have a smaller Bl product, which influences the high-frequency rolloff and sensitivity. An electroacoustic analysis explores a model of the duct structure and head diffraction effects. An acoustic design to extend the low-frequency bandwidth is suggested to increase perceived quality. Large-signal performance appears to be a critical issue.
