Monicelli is another genius and poet of the Italian cinema. We can only bless him for the long list of masterpieces he created for all of us: I soliti ignoti, Guardie e ladri, L'armata Brancaleone and of course La Grande Guerra. Two cowards, one from Rome (Sordi) the other from Lombardy (Gassman) try to save their lives during one of the most tragic moments (for Italy) of the WWI (the defense on the river Piave). While in some parts the film is truly a blame against the horrors of war, in other parts is somehow patriotic. Even the tragic final changes the protagonists into heroes, but really a strange kind of heroes, very different from the American icon (muscles and bravery). In conclusion, you will find a lot of fun but also thoughtful moments. I beg everyone who read this message to see this movies, it's truly one of the best ever.
Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1959, this
film deserves more attention from movie lovers all around the world.
Some critics regard "The Great War" as Monicelli's finest work - and
they might be right. Set in Northern Italy during World War I, of
course the film is definitely antiwar. As Monicelli once said in an
interview : "I wanted to show things as they were -- as usual, badly
conducted and led, and no one wanting to fight, or knowing what they
were fighting for." It is history from the point of view of the humble
people, with a good deal of irony. Starting as a light comedy, "The
Great War" ends on a very poignant note, while it doesn't hide any of
the horrors of trench warfare.
To me, Mario Monicelli and Dino Risi were the masters of Italian (tragi)comedy back in the 50s and 60s. Their best films (like this one) offer a combination of levity, social criticism and black comedy which is extremely appealing and unique. That said, Monicelli and Risi would never have done such great films without great actors. Here, Gassman and Sordi are a wonderful pair as two army mates caught in a conflict they don't really care about. The film also features beauty queen Silvana Mangano in a small but important part as Gassman's love interest.
A classic, unmissable.
I've only seen it twice, and it's already one of my favorite Italian
movies of all time.Directed by legendary Mario Monicelli, this
excellent comedy is set during WWI, when the Italians had to defend the
river Piave from the Austrians.Two of the Italian soldiers happen to be
really lazy cowards:Giovanni Busacca(Vittorio Gassman) from Milan and
Oreste Jacovacci(Alberto Sordi) from Rome.They would rather spend their
time at home with the mates and the ladies instead of fighting for
their country.The only fights they have are with each other, both
insulting the other one with their particular accents and dialects (you
probably have to be Italian yourself to really appreciate most of the
gags). The most interesting thing is perhaps how the two actors handle
their roles: Sordi is very calm, controlled and "normal", while Gassman
just can't stop being nervous, shouting and gesticulating all the time.
Just like La Vita è Bella, this movie's purpose is to blame the horrors of war as well as making you laugh as much as you can.
For those who like Italian cinema, La Grande Guerra is a must-see.
La Grande guerra is a real lucid vision of the war that's because the point of view is moved on two characters of the common people with real emotions and feelings, so their military adventures at first creates a sense of funny but step by step everything becomes more dramatic because the war shows absurdities and contradictions that creates real human destruction. The maximum point is touched at the end. Because of this antimilitary soul in 1959 the movie was a real proof of intelligence.
I think this is one of the italian masterpieces of all times, disguised as a "comedy", just because the main characters are the best italian comedians of all times, Sordi and Gasmann. I would call it the "Divina Commedia" of comedy and of deep feelings against war but for the defense of one's country.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
(Includes spoilers!) THE GREAT WAR stands as one of the essential films exemplifying the "commedia all'italiana" genre, that is, films which while being comedies often have a serious, even tragic undertone. Take our two heroes here, the Roman Oreste Jacovacci and the Milanese Giovanni Busacca (Alberto Sordi and Vittorio Gassman). Caught in the insanity of World War I, this Abbott and Costello duo will do anything to escape danger and responsibility. After being fairly successful at the game, they have the misfortune to fall into the hands of the enemy Austrians, who want to pump them for information. But these two connivers and shirkers, in a rush of untapped patriotism, are unwilling to cause the possible deaths of their compatriots and so will chose or allow themselves to die instead. Circumstances turn cowards into heroes, much in the same way the con-artist played by De Sica in IL GENERALE DELLA ROVERE soars to lofty nobility at the end of that film, completed that same year. Talented director Mario Monicelli has filmed a gritty panorama of the World War I, Italy's first real film on the subject, in which the visuals and the overall "feel" are utterly convincing. The great cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno has captured the same period feeling that is akin to old-photographs-come-to-life that we would see later in his 1963 I COMPAGNI (THE ORGANIZER). Here he works in wide-screen CinemaScope that is especially effective in following movements of large numbers of soldiers in the battle scenes. The music by veteran Fellini-composer Nino Rota is appealing, and we get the songs and popular chants of the era. Silvana Mangano provides feminine interest as a crafty prostitute. This is a major Italian film of the 1950's and it should be far better know
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Italians don't have a problem making fun of serious things. Roberto
Benigni got the whole world laughing with a Holocaust movie. Lina
Wertmüller satirized man's will to survive in her WWII dark comedy,
Pasqualino Settebelezze. Mario Monicelli's La Grande Guerra, perhaps
the grandfather of such movies, aims its satire at World War I.
The movie follows Giovanni Busacca and Oreste Jacovacci, two comical anti-heroes who are drafted and spend most of the time trying to find ways to stay out of the front or acquire some rare comforts amidst the war. The movie is mostly plot less and instead emphasizes amusing episodic situations. This gives the movie maximum freedom to explore as many situations as the imagination of the screenwriters allowed.
However this movie never stoops to frivolity. Amidst the horrors of war, there's a strong criticism of war in general and also of the way the soldiers are treated by their own country. Monicelli's camera shows the squalor of the trenches, the hunger, the worn boots and uniforms. The battles are bloody, chaotic situations; when it shows Giovanni and Oreste watching a bombardment in the distance, we share with them the relief we're somewhere else. We rejoice when they think their way out of a dangerous situation and commiserate with them over fallen friends.
And like the best war movies, La Grande Guerra manages to show the best of mankind. Comradeship, selflessness, courage, loyalty are in display here.
La Grande Guerra is over 50 years and yet remains an impressive experience. Modern movies can be technically more authentic, have better sfx, better make-up, have better sound mixing, etc., but $100 millions of budget won't buy them the emotional core of this forgotten movie.
I saw this in Czechoslovakia way back in 1960's and still remember it. I am glad it lists here as a "comedy", it sure is one. That is why it will not be available to us on video of any format in any language under any circumstances. It subverts the "enetertainment' concept. An alternative ? Try Roberto Begnigni, the schlemiel nouveau.
Italy, 1916. Roman Oreste Jacovacci (Alberto Sordi) and Milanese
Giovanni Busacca (Vittorio Gassman) are reluctantly recruited to
Italian army during Austria-Italy war . They both attempting a great
number of schemes to get out for fighting and working . Giovanni bribes
Oreste, believing to his fake pledges to make him evading the army .
Both of whom try in every way to avoid serving the army but their
circumstance dictates otherwise , as the destiny make them meeting
again on the train headed to the front. However , Oreste stolen money
to Giovanni they become friends and in first times are allocated to a
secondary front . As two Italian soldiers find themselves in the mists
of Austrian front , much against their will . Here they spend some
months in relative peace and Giovanni finds time to have affair with a
whore named Constantina (Silvana Mangano married to producer Dino De
Laurentiis) . But war is getting everyday closer and unfortunately,
they fall in the hands of a stiff officer Lieutenant Gallina (Romolo
Valli) and a tough sergeant (Livio Lorenzon) . During the most
important battle among Italians and Austro-Hungarians, when the
Italians had to defend the river Piave from the Austrians , Giovanni
and Oreste are in charge to deliver a vital message to the Italian
headquarters , but they are trapped . Austrian officer (Gerard Herter)
that, under life menace, starts an interrogation to find out the
Italian message . The Great War is hell at its hottest , men at their
mightiest , the screen at its greatest!
This is an amusing film about two rogues called to serve the army in the WWI , as all the Italian youths , as the Italian Army fought against the Austrians during World War I , being excellently re-enacted by including movements of large numbers of soldiers during battle frames that are well come-to-life . This is a zany comedy seeing the misfit couple in all kinds of troubles involving Italian Army . This entertaining Sordi and Gassman recital provides too much amusement in detailing the duo's exploits in the wartime front . Slightly muddled but generally nice performed . Lots of comedy and hilarious dialog , including some spectacular battles with hundred of extras provided by actual Italian infantry . The film relies heavily on the continuous relationship between Albert Sordi and Vittorio Gassman , but it doesn't makes tiring , neither dull but entertaining . The main premise results to be two bungler as well as coward soldiers who under twisted circumstances turn into heroes . Special mention to Silvana Mangano as prostitute Costantina who falls in love for Giovanni . Very good Italian support cast such as Folco Lulli , Bernard Blier , Romolo Valli , Carlo A'Angelo , Livio Lorenzon and Gerard Herter , among others . Evocative and adequate photography by master cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno , Federico Fellini ordinary . Imaginative as well as sensitive musical score by the great Nino Rota , conducted by usual Franco Ferrara .
The motion picture was well directed by Mario Monicelli who gets to capture the same period feeling during the Great War . Mario Monicelli was born in 1915 Tuscany and died in 2010 , Rome ; being a good writer/filmmaker expert on comedies . As he was a writer and director, known for The army Brancaleone (1966), La ragazza Con Pistola (1968) , The marquis of Grillo (1981) and his greatest hit : Rufufú (1958). In fact , his movies Rufufú (1958), The Great War (1959) were Oscar-nominate for "Best Foreign Language Film". Furthermore , The Great War won Golden Lion in Festival of Venice .
When I attended the 61st Venice Film Festival in September 2004, I saw
Italian veteran film-maker Mario Monicelli several times taking a
stroll by himself but, given his reputation for cantankerousness and
irascibility, I thought better not to bother him; you can imagine how
guilty I felt when the 95-year old frail director committed suicide by
jumping out of a Roman hospital window in November 2010! Monicelli, who
does not get a single mention in the "Wonders In The Dark" 3000-strong
list(!), belongs with other notable Italian film directors like Pietro
Germi, Elio Petri, Dino Risi, and Ettore Scola whose work had long been
unjustly overshadowed by the big five, namely Antonioni, De Sica,
Fellini, Rossellini and Visconti.
Best-known for his classic, star-studded caper spoof BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET aka PERSONS UNKNOWN (1958) a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar contender that is still my favourite among his films and, possibly, my favourite comedy not in the English language, period! but THE GREAT WAR (that was equally recognized by the Academy) is probably his masterpiece. Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival tied with Roberto Rossellini's WWII drama IL GENERALE DELLA ROVERE starring Vittorio De Sica both here over such superior titles as Otto Preminger's ANATOMY OF A MURDER, Kon Ichikawa's CONFLAGRATION and Ingmar Bergman's THE MAGICIAN (both 1958) and at the David di Donatello awards, Italy's own equivalent of the Oscar, it is still underrated enough to have been given a baffling ** rating by "Leonard Maltin's Film Guide" where, incidentally, its running time is given as 118 minutes, rather than the full 137 minutes and the non-English-friendly Italian 2-Disc Set (which, after missing out on it a couple of times on TV over the years, is how I eventually watched it on the centenary of WWI, no less albeit jettisoning the supplements altogether due to time constraints) is still its only home video release worldwide. The film's constant veering between drama and comedy requires some initial adjustment from the viewer but it eventually reaches an exquisite seamlessness. Leading man Vittorio Gassman had been renowned for drama up to his revelation as a comic actor in the aforementioned BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET; conversely, his sparring partner here Alberto Sordi was popular for his own comedy vehicles prior to this; indeed, Sordi would again go to war in two notable subsequent films: Luigi Comencini's similarly bittersweet EVERYBODY GO HOME! (1960) and the more typically comic THE BEST OF ENEMIES (1961; co-starring David Niven). THE GREAT WAR is an impressive Dino De Laurentiis production, notable for distinguished cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno's sinewy tracking shots along the trenches and Mario Garbuglia's award-winning expansive sets. The film also offers a showy role for De Laurentiis's actress wife Silvana Mangano as the proverbial whore with a heart of gold who possibly bears Gassman's child; interestingly, this is just one of several Gassman-Mangano teamings that included the star-making BITTER RICE (1949) and the epics TEMPEST (1958) and BARABBAS (1961). To portray the colourful supporting characters that make up the irrepressible duo's comrades-in-arms, an excellent cast of familiar character actors was dutifully enrolled: Bernard Blier, Romolo Valli, Folco Lulli, Livio Lorenzon, Tiberio Murgia (returning from BIG DEAL ON MADONNA STREET), Ferruccio Amendola and Gerard Herter.
Considering its significant length, it is understandable that the film follows an episodic structure but is decidedly replete with memorable vignettes: new enlistee Gassman bribing 'veteran' Sordi to avoid joining the Army in the opening scene; Gassman and Murgia's punishment for waking up late in the barracks is to have their hair completely shaved off; Gassman and Sordi asking their chaplain the way to the local brothel and he points them to Mangano's modest but highly popular dwelling; Amendola being constantly hit by the barracks' door whenever it is opened to herald a newly-arrived army bigwig on a morale-boosting tour of the trenches; cultured Valli being pestered by an illiterate private to write love letters to his beloved and read his mail and eventually having to lie to him when the local priest replies that she has married a rich old man; a messenger is killed when delivering a note from HQ that only wished a Happy Christmas to the troops (which causes the much-loved and usually well-behaved Lulli to throw a cup of brandy in his overzealous young superior' face); Murgia is constantly waxing about his love for famous actress Francesca Bertini but, when he does actually receive word from her, he tears up the letter after yet another casualty-ridden assault on their trenches; Gassman and Sordi giving their money, collected for an intended visit to a whorehouse, to Lulli's as-yet-unaware widow whom they chance to meet at the train station subsequently joining a band of soldiers partying there amongst themselves with a minimum of girls to go around; Gassman and Sordi are continually volunteering for missions to shirk trench duties and often save their lives in the process: this stretch of good luck catches up with them at the end when the remote outpost they have ventured to is unknowingly abandoned by their army and they find it occupied by the Austrian enemy when they wake up the following morning; this leads to their heroic death when they refuse to divulge attack plans to Herter, followed by the film's sublimely ironic closing sequence where their long-suffering sergeant Lorenzon complains that these two ne'er-do-wells have once again managed to have it the easy way, cutting to an image of their lifeless bodies, and back again!

General Discussion
Pertussis is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. This disease has 3 stages: catarrhal, paroxysmal, and convalescent. The symptoms of the catarrhal stage are mild and may go unnoticed. The paroxysmal stage of Pertussis is characterized by episodes of coughing with a distinctive "whooping" sound when breathing in (inspiration). This characteristic cough gives the disease its common name, Whooping Cough. During the convalescent stage, episodes of coughing are less frequent and symptoms improve. The incidence of Pertussis has diminished greatly with widespread use of the DPT vaccine (Diphtheria Pertussis Tetanus), but in certain areas of the United States outbreaks have occurred periodically in recent years.

Injuries have ruled regular midfield duo Manu Tuilagi and Brad Barritt out of the games against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand and coach Stuart Lancaster has rewarded the three new boys for their flying starts to the domestic season.
They still have work to do to force their way into the matchday squads, however, with Billy Twelvetrees and Kyle Eastmond, fresh from impressive showings in the summer tour of Argentina, in pole position.
Barritt is England's defensive organiser and is hugely popular with the coaches for his defensive dependency while Tuilagi is a world-class line breaker on his day.
However, the pairing have been criticised for their lack of creativity and their absence has forced Lancaster to try a new approach.
"Injuries create opportunities," the coach told reporters at a news conference at the iconic Lloyd's Building in central London ahead of next Monday's squad meet-up.
"You can sit there and feel sorry for yourself or see it as a positive.
"At the World Cup you are going to need a big squad and be able to trust all your players - the trick now is to get the selections right."
Lancaster is by no means the first England coach to be left scratching his head over his midfield combinations.
Clive Woodward won the World Cup with the established pairing of Will Greenwood and Mike Tindall but since then the 12 and 13 shirts have changed hands with dizzying regularity.
In the 111 Tests since their 2003 final victory, England have started with 26 different players in those positions - 11 of them playing three or fewer Tests - and used 39 different pairings.
The longest unbroken run is five Tests - Riki Flutey and Jamie Noon in 2008/09 and Shontayne Hape and Tindall in 2010/11. Tuilagi and Barritt have the most starts together with 11 in 2012/13, but not in a row.
Twelvetrees, who got a late call up to the British and Irish Lions in Australia, has a great chance to stamp his authority on the inside centre berth while rugby league convert Eastmond showed much-needed spark in his two appearances in Argentina.
Tomkins, another rugby league convert, has been impressive at outside centre for Saracens this season while Northampton's Burrell offers a powerful option at 12 after being included as injury cover.
Trinder has also caught the eye for Gloucester at outside centre and comes straight into the senior squad having bypassed this season's Saxons squad.
"I coached him (Trinder) a few times in the Saxons and he was key in out Churchill Cup win a couple of years back," Lancaster said.
"He's had a few injuries but he's played exceptionally well this season and deserves to be there.
England backs coach Andy Farrell was also confident that Trinder was ready.
"He has a big box of tricks and in the last couple of years he wanted to show them but this season he's shown real maturity and how he brings his game out is fantastic," he said.
"There's a bit of everything in there and his ability to beat people has been sensational this season."
Tomkins, brother of England rugby league international Sam, has "forgotten how to play league", said Farrell, who also made the code switch but much later in his career.
"Joel is a big boy who is going to be a handful," he added. "By his own admission he's still learning but union is getting instinctive to him now and he's made some great strides."
Flanker Tom Johnson has been rewarded for his impressive performances for Exeter by earning a recall in place of the injured Tom Croft but he faces a real fight to make the team in an area featuring potential captains Tom Wood and Chris Robshaw.
Prop Alex Corbisiero, one of the key figures in the Lions' series victory over Australia, is a doubt for at least the opening game against the Wallabies on November 2 with a knee problem.
Full elite squad:
David Attwood (Bath Rugby), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Alex Corbisiero (Northampton Saints), Tom Johnson (Exeter Chiefs), Dylan Hartley (Northampton Saints), Matt Kvesic (Gloucester Rugby), Joe Launchbury (London Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Ben Morgan (Gloucester Rugby), Geoff Parling (Leicester Tigers), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Billy Vunipola (Saracens), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), David Wilson (Bath Rugby), Tom Wood (Northampton Saints), Tom Youngs (Leicester Tigers).
Chris Ashton (Saracens), Mike Brown (Harlequins), Freddie Burns (Gloucester Rugby), Luther Burrell (Northampton Saints), Danny Care (Harlequins), Lee Dickson (Northampton Saints), Kyle Eastmond (Bath Rugby), Owen Farrell (Saracens), Toby Flood (Leicester Tigers), Ben Foden (Northampton Saints), Alex Goode (Saracens), Henry Trinder (Gloucester Rugby), Joel Tomkins (Saracens), Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester Rugby), Christian Wade (London Wasps), Marland Yarde (London Irish), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers).

"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."
"The card was great quality and adapted to our photo brilliantly. I liked that it added a touch of holiday snow and had different options for greeting."
"Our Christmas card this year was just perfect. All our family and friends loved the photo and the card. So glad we tried Tiny Prints this year. We use them again."
"What a lovely, simple card. I picked the green/red option and sent them as my annual Christmas card. Photo quality, paper quality, expedited shipping and customer service were superb. I wish I could have put a tiny photo on the back but overall, lovely card. Will order from Tiny Prints again."

Actually Sofa that would change our style a lot. Whether that is a good thing or not is subjective, but its not just tinkering. Take a look at the majority of goals AC has scored or assisted on with WHU this season, and you'll find in the majority of them the ball hardly touches the ground. Not take a look at ours, and tell me things would only change a little.

Got web services? You need security. But with so many options how do you decide which way to go? Patterns are your friend, and so are the folks in the patterns & practices team. In this blast from the past webcast with Jason Hogg and Fred Chong you will get the lowdown on the web services security patterns guide that is now freely available. So no more excuses :O - it is time to get smart on security.
Oops, something didn't work.
The canned audience reactions are a bit much. Please restrain yourself in the future.
Good overview content. Not much useful, yet, but I anxiously await part II.
And BTW, the symbol for gold is "Au", not "A". But the mnemonic still works.
Presentation should treat audiences as professionals. As mentioned in the previos please refrain as much as possible.

Partial nudity is visible during the Werewolf transformations. George's buttocks is frequently seen before and after his transformations and Nina's breasts are seen during hers.There are numerous sexual encounters between various characters in most episodes, though these scenes vary from case to case in terms of duration and graphic content. There are also frank discussions of sexual behavior in most episodes.In at least one scene,there is female full frontal nudity in series 2. She is lying on a table presumably dead and it lasts for about 3 seconds.
Most of the violence is implied offscreen rather than shown. Being that the show features Vampires, blood is frequently shown. Episode two of series three features Zombies being disembowled during an autopsy and a Zombie character who is impaled and subsequently falls apart by the end of the episode.There is a very graphic murder scene at the end of series 2.
There is frequent use of profanity in this program. Eg. Fuck, shit, etc.
Drinking is shown sparingly. The character Mitchell is frequenlty shown smoking cigarettes.
This show makes frequent use of frightening imagery. Every Werewolf transformation shows the character in great pain and the transitional make-up may be frightening to some. Vampire characters are shown to grow fangs and have their eyes blacken. The character Annie is shown being pushed down stairs and cracking her skull on the floor below and dying; blood is then seen flowing from her head.

Really nice!
beautiful art
Hello! My name is Jarrett Skaddisson and I am looking for a cover artist for my book series The Kingblade Chronicles. This will be a paid job and I have the details for you if you are interested. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and send me your deviant art profile and other portfolios that you have! Great work you have here. I am looking forward to your response.

nice lighting)
This looks exactly like the garden of blacklagoon Roberta mansion garden.fantastic work!
Wow, its amazing!
If there's one thing in art that amazes me, it's attention to detail. And that's something you've got LOTS of.
nice work
Very picturesque.
Amazing work at all levels - love the whole composition. Did you model the plants yourself or did you grab then via xfrog or something? Really sweet image. Congrats.
The plants in this are incredible. The structure is impressive, too, but the plants steal the show.
great job!
Very beautiful and realistic and definitely a place I would like to rest for a while
Super realistic
Dammm....beautiful work...instant fav.
Nicely done, that is a really good scene.
Beautiful, deserves more views than it has at the moment
Killer ! Love the light and ofcourse the plant models. Incredible work !
I like the style, a painting from old books
Excellent artwork!

Like if host address is 184.108.40.206 and next hop address is 22.214.171.124 and destination ip address is also 220.127.116.11
Is this a valid use case? Any real life usage?
<dest ip> <next hop>
ip route 188.8.131.52 255.255.255.255 220.127.116.11 weight 1 next-hop-vrf GlobalRouter
Above is the command on a router inside a VRF. 22.214.171.124 is pingable from host. 22.214.171.124 & 22.214.171.124 are an ip address assigned to a VLAN on host & destination respectively.
On a linux box, Such configuration is valid.
[root]# netstat -r -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
188.8.131.52 18.104.22.168 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0
[root]# ip route show
126.96.36.199 via 188.8.131.52 dev eth0
As per my understanding, If a destination IP is reachable (i.e in the same subnet of host IP) we dont need a next hop.
I came across one application for using next hop for destination IP in same subnet (i.e for VPN) See this: Will packets send to the same subnet go through routers?
If next hop != destination IP but they are in same subnet as that of host, is a valid scenario for VPN, then i am wondering what are the applications of next_hop==dest_ip & subnet same as host?
This is my first post in Super User. Extremely happy with the quick and warm response.

Awesome man. It seems like its missing something, but I can't put a finger on it. On a side note, my friends and I party to this song. XD
Nice. Ironically, new song of mine is called "finger on it"! doh! -- this song should probably be faster, and might just need more rhythm section action. I'm not sure either. Thanks for the 4, tho! :)

I say speed it up a little, and you're golden. Just my opinion, though.
Hmm yeah I hear ya... performed live it'll probably be faster

nice, kinda like a mix of S.T.P. and a dash of an almost slow Pantera

I haven't found any (e.g.) bug database besides http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/, and I think they want me to ask here first. So: here's a feature I want; to whom should I tell it?
I'd like to be able to associate some text with a star on Google Maps -- so that I can note why I bothered to star a place. (Typical reasons are: I read a great review of this restaurant, and here's it's URL; this is the hotel we stayed at last time; etc). I have lots of stars and often forget why I starred them.
I realize that I could accomplish this by creating my own map, and adding the places to it; but using "my maps" is awkward and tedious; I'd like this information to be in my face all the time.

92% would recommend it to a friend.
This Item is no longer available at Scrapbook.com.Write a Review
Received my order and was thrilled! It was exactly as I expected! Not having used much washi tape before, I felt this was a perfect way to start with a selection and build from there! Thank you for prompt delivery and a product that will be well used!!
A little skeptical at the beginning. since is another item for my desk. But I got I was delighted. Smaller than it appear and very convenient. If you look at the positive manner it is worth the money just for the tape. Great deal.
I really was pleased when I received this. I am hoping they will come out with an additional attachment to make it tiered. I love washi tape and I have lots more to include, in addition to what I received with the purchase.
Everything is there at your fingertips ready for the creativity to begin! I love being organized and this does the job! Ready to get another one to stack for the rest of my washi!!!
I have one that I bought a few months ago. The two I got this time are for friends birthdays. They saw mine and wanted one for themselves, so it was an easy gift to get them.
It sounds as if it is big and bulky but it's not--only about 9" diameter and stacks one on another. I have, easily 50 rolls of washi tape and two of these hold them all.
Received my order and am so happy. There is a large variety of washi tapes and the dispenser is great. You will not regret purchasing this item( I got mine on sale).
This item is wonderful! I have it sitting on my desk within reach for all my crafting ideas! Scrapbook.com processed my order promptly and shipped out immediately!
Although I have not used this kit yet I was impressed enough when I received mine to order two more kits for birthday gifts. I for see a lot of fun ahead!
I really like the dispenser. It is solid and it turns easily. I look forward to adding more levels to it because I can't get enough of washi tape!
I really like the easy use of the tape dispenser - comes with more tape than spots so I am going to purchase later the second tier.
love this washi tape, its the first time for me to use washi tape so i choose this washi box and its amazing
Love using Washi tape on projects.. This dispenser keeps it well organized and ready to use.
This is a great container that spins around. Very sturdy built and easy to use. Love it.
I love my new washi tape dispenser. It keeps all my washi tape clean and organized.
Well done. Easy to use
Love this for my washi tape! And other brands fit also on this dispenser. Cant go wrong with this in your craft room.
I did think it was a little "high" as far as price.
This is a handy tool holder for the tapes and is easy to reload after a roll is finished. All types of tapes fit the holders and can handle the entire color palate
No problems with the product or order process - however I thought the price of the products and shipping was a bit pricy! Thus the 4 stars!
Awesome starter kit, one that everyone should own!
The washi tapes rolls and the dispenser are a great item. Has it's own cutters for each roll, is very easy to pick and and move where needed.love the product.
I do not like this tape it breaks off when you try to
Pull from the dispenser. The colors are ugly. And
It does not stick very good. The price is way to
High. Not worth having. It shocks me for memory
Keepers products are usually good products.
I like the product but NOT the price I paid. Even though it was advertised as 50% off I saw it only a week later for $12 cheaper. This would make me think twice or three times before ordering from this sight again!
This is the first time I've gotten any tape and I'm excited to start using it more in my scrapbooking and card making.

- The Trip of a Lifetime! by Nancee on 6/23/2013
Dr. Grayson Hawkes, affectionately known as "Hawk to most, is a preacher at Celebration Community Church in Celebration, Florida. Hawk is a long-time, frequent visitor to Walt Disney World in Orlando and has acquired an incredible wealth of knowledge regarding Disney trivia and attention to detail from his close friend, Farren Rales. Farren is head imagineer for Walt Disney World, and had worked directly with Walt Disney while he was still living. He and Hawk frequently discussed Walt's life and his dreams and visions for the future of Disney parks. In a mysterious meeting Farren presents Hawk with a "special" key, the key to the kingdom, and an assignment to unravel the clues that lead to what the key unlocks. Farren then suddenly disappears and Hawk is chased by an unknown assailant. As Hawk is catapulted into the adventures of his life, danger becomes his constant companion. Amidst his escapades through the world of Disney in his search for answers, Hawk encounters numerous predicaments that place him in compromising situations.
Jeff Dixon has created a fast-paced, exciting journey through the Magic Kingdom! The Key to The Kingdom is descriptive down to the most minute details and written with extraordinary knowledge and a passion for Disney. The author has penned a mystery that caused me to read as fast as I could, increasing my heart rate as I ran through the park with Hawk in this magical adventure! Danger lurked around every corner, and attention to detail in Disney design is amazing. Having visited Disney World a few times I was able to follow Hawk's adventures throughout the kingdom, and could visualize the attractions as if I was running alongside Hawk. If you've been to Walt Disney World this book is an amazing adventure through the Magic Kingdom that you don't want to miss! If you haven't been to the attraction yet, you'll certainly want to make the trip after reading this book!
Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author and the For Readers Only program through BookFun.org for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own. Thank you to Jeff Dixon and Fred St Laurent from BookFun.org for providing me with this trip of a lifetime!

Ruby, Rails, and Gems developer tools
Security Resources
Great tools and resources are available to help you write secure Ruby on Rails code. Kurt examines some tools and offers some tips.
I'll admit it: I'm old, and increasingly I find tech trends that surprise me. Ruby on Rails is one of those trends that it seems everyone is using now. A friend gave me a good explanation of why Ruby on Rails has sneaked up on me, despite the fact that it's been around for a decade.
Ruby on Rails is a great prototype system, so it's easy to sell in the sense of "why don't we make a rapid prototype using Rails?" But, of course, once you have a working prototype, you also have something you can sell to customers. So, given a choice between writing a new "real" product or tidying up the prototype and shipping it, people usually pick the second option. Fortunately, Ruby on Rails actually allows for scaling and other production issues, so you can usually get away with this approach.

I've read that both are acceptable but "associated with" is superior. Is there ever a time that "to" is acceptable? Does it matter at all? I'm writing copy for a public website and want to make sure I get this right.

"Associated to" would occasionally be acceptable when speaking about certain IT concepts, but in general purpose usage, "Associated with" is preferable nearly every time.
These day either 'with' or 'to' may be used. Traditionally it was 'associated with', which was preferred in the 1950s. But things have changed, and the use of 'associated to' is now so common as to be unremarkable everywhere.
From my experience as an editor for an international journal, I often see "associated to". When I have noted the authors' affiliation, they were not American. "Associated" is not listed in Garner's Modern American Usage, which sometimes indicates when something is standard British English. It is also not listed in the style guides for the journal I work for, The Economist, or The New York Times. In searching for "associated to" and "associated with" on The Economist web site and my journal's web site, I found both were used. Once in The Economist, they were both used in the same article (http://www.economist.com/node/14115951). In that article, "associated with" was used in a quote from the World Bank, whereas "associated to" was used by the author. However, "associated with" was much more common in both my journal and The Economist.
My conclusion is that "associated with" is preferred, but "associated to" is accdptable.

News This Summer's City Council Races
posted by June 13 at 17:10 PMon
The winnowing down primary is August 21.
The City Council is non-partisan and non-district, so the winnowing down process is just about kicking random people out of random races until voters are left with two random candidates (usually including the random incumbent) that'll face off in November.
ECB and I published a candidate primer in this week's issue to inaugurate the municipal campaign season.
We tallied money raised (Tom Rasmussen raised the most); cited curious expenditures (we left out that Tom Rasmussen's customized M&Ms said "Tom 4 Seattle" and "Tom 2007"); and noted interesting donors (Money Tree for Venus Velazquez?) We also gave thumb nail bios.
There'll be a lot more coverage to come, including heavy Slog time for the "also-rans" that got short shrift in today's wrap up.
Meanwhile, here's some of ECB's earlier coverage:
Sally Clark; a general round-up, including Tim Burgess; and Bruce Harrell and Venus Velazquez.
Also stay tuned to Erica's column as she'll be tracking the races there too.

Heinz factory workers cleaning strawberries before canning, ca. 1904. To ensure the quality of its products, Heinz required workers to clean their nails weekly and shower regularly. (Thomas and Katherine Detre Library and Archives, Senator John Heinz History Center)
Some canning companies killed microbes with additives, such as sodium benzoate (which is still used today in canned food) and formaldehydes (now known to be carcinogenic), Levenstein says. According to Petrick, some of the larger canning companies, such as Heinz, Libby, and Campbell's, installed expensive steam-retort technology developed in the 1870s. Steam retorts worked like steam engines, using pressure to raise canning temperatures high enough to kill pathogenic microbes. Smaller canning outfits relied on open kettles and had less consistent results. Yet some batches of cans, even when made with the era's most advanced techniques, would explode after months on the shelf; the contents of other cans might mysteriously sour.
American canning companies eventually banded together to discover the scientific underpinnings of what was still mostly a craft, Petrick says. In 1913 they launched an industry-wide research agency, the Research Laboratory of the National Canners Association, to study the elusive bacteriology responsible for all manner of spoiled canned food. The research done by the agency in the decades that followed helped resolve the problem of spoilage and led to improved flavor, color, nutritional value, and texture.
Before this time canners had discovered through trial and error that the best way to avoid bad cans was to cook food at high temperatures for long periods, an approach that sacrificed flavor. "Food safety and palatability were often at cross-purposes," Petrick remarks. One technique employed was adding salt to the vegetables. For string beans long cooking times leach out the green color, creating an unappealing grayish-toned bean, says Roger Clemens, a nutrition and food-safety expert. "By adding [salt] during processing, we could reduce cooking time and maintain the color." (Yet what was once a desirable additive has become a modern health culprit, guilty of contributing to the rise in hypertension, heart disease, and obesity seen in many Western societies.)
One of the major canning innovations of the 20th century was the development of aseptic processing, notes food scientist John Floros. This technique, which involves sterilizing the container separately from the food, was invented in Switzerland in the 1960s for processing milk but is now used widely for canned tomatoes and many juices.
Small volumes of food are heated to a precise temperature and for a precise time in order to avoid overcooking and loss of nutrients, explains food scientist Philip Nelson, who won the 2007 World Food Prize for his research on making aseptic processing workable on an industrial scale. "When you put something in a can, you have to heat to the center, so you end up overheating what's on walls," says Nelson. Aseptic processing helps avoid this problem. "Then by storing [the food] in an oxygen-free environment you prevent reactions that affect flavor, color, and nutrients."
In more recent decades the food industry has looked into alternative methods of making their products safe, including gamma irradiation, which preserves well but creates what Nelson describes as "wet dog–like flavors." More successful, Floros says, is the use of pressure to preserve food. Fresh guacamole sold in supermarkets is pressure-processed to keep it from turning brown. Prepackaged raw oysters are also preserved with pressure.
Despite all the 20th-century alternatives, Appert's technology—the can—still reigns supreme for long-term storage.
Uncovering the Mysteries of the Maillard Reaction
In 1997 construction workers digging a railroad tunnel in southwestern Sweden began to feel numb. Cows in the vicinity weren't faring well either; some became paralyzed and eventually died. Fish in nearby waters floated to the surface.
Authorities discovered that acrylamide, a component in some of the sealant used in the tunnel and a potent carcinogen in rats, was to blame. Swedish toxicologist Margareta Törnqvis and her doctoral student Eden Tareke were called in to evaluate the exposure of tunnel workers to the dangerous substance. Their research unexpectedly led them to the kitchen and to the discovery that a cherished chemical reaction in food science, the Maillard reaction, also puts acrylamide in our dinner. The publication of these results in 2002 launched a decade-long transformation of the food industry as researchers tried to figure out how to avoid producing the poison.

Is it possible to get these damn things out of my inventory if I am allowed into the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite but I managed to destroy Mr. House and those two shrieking robots before I could hand them off. I notice there is a place for them similar to the bobblehead stand in Fallout 3 in the Suite but I can't activate it. 7 weight is a lot to be lugging around on hardcore.

Lucky 38 Casino. The Snowglobe is located in the cocktail lounge on the counter "behind" the middle cash register with a green lamp next to it. NOTE: you must first speak with Mr House and gaining access to the Presidential Suite.
Take the elevator to the cocktail lounge, take an immediate left and follow the
bar around until you see the cash register with a green lamp beside it. the snow globe is behind it.

this one is glitchable; not sure if selling some of them to Jane before finding all of them has anything to do with it, but DID NOT get the achie while having collected all but the dead money globe, which everyone i've read says is not necessary for the achie even though I do have it installed; will update after finding it as well, but frustrating none the less

Anyone else think it's odd that Mr. House gives you 2,000 credits for retrieving a snow globe, but even after the barter check will give you only 1,250 for recovering the platinum chip that is the last best hope for humanity?
His priorities are slightly skewed.

|Comment #28 by asylumspadez
Thursday, December 29, 2011 @ 01:25:22 PM
(to be more accurate as to where the globes actually are)
Goodsprings Cemetary: Near the water tower is a grave and on the grave is a snow globe. In front of said grave is a fence so you cant miss it.
Lucky 38: Head into the casino then go to the elevator and head to the cocktail lounge. Turn to the right and keep a look out at the counter against the wall. Continue on until the counter on your left breaks (it seperates and allows people to walk through it) and there will be a cash register to your immediately right. Behind the register is the snow globe.
Vault 21: Have Sarah give you a tour and she will eventually make a comment about her bedroom (which is just down the hall on the left before you turn). Pickpocket her for her key and head to her room, The globe is on the stand nea
|Comment #29 by asylumspadez
Thursday, December 29, 2011 @ 01:29:44 PM
Old Mormon Fort - Once you enter, Go to your right and you will see (along the wall) is an enterance to a tower. Head up the stairs and look at the shelves, The globe is on one of them.
Jacobstown: Once you enter it you will see a rather large building (which is the Jacobstown Lodge). Go into it and immediately head up to the counter (which you see upon entering) and the globe is on there.
Nellis Airforce Base: Where the boomers are located (just to make it clearer). Go into the museum and turn right immediately upon entering, Its on the small stand in the corner.
|Comment #30 by asylumspadez
Thursday, December 29, 2011 @ 01:31:19 PM
Hoover Dam: Keep a look out on your right for a visitor's center early on during your process through the dam. Go through the main enterance and head up to the counter, The globe is there.
Hope this made it easier for everyone who wanted to get this achievement.

In this games you should save a new save file before doing quests that u have to kill characters, this prevent u to lose something important in the future progress of the game.

Thursday, February 14, 2013 @ 06:23:10 PM
You need to offload them all to Jane in the lucky 38 to get the Achievement, killing Jane results in no achievement even if you gather all globes. Which is annoying, but still manageable just do it while working on the house always wins.
|Comment #38 by Deadsea 18
Saturday, April 20, 2013 @ 09:57:23 PM
@ 37, no you get the achivement immediatley after the last globe is found. You can keep them in the inventory if you want. The achivement is for FINDING all 7.

I bought the first book for my daughter- after reading it I kept it for myself. So I bought her another one,.. then one for my girlfriend, and another for my sister. It's a wonderful, down to earth, practical book full of great recipes.
The recipes are a bit complicated for a book about making scaled down desserts. Although I recognize that baking can be complex, that level of complexity for two seems inordinate. However, there are interesting baked goods to try but I'm not sure how useful it is as a cookbook. Because I am not inclined to make these recipes due to their complexity for two, the cookbook becomes less useful. The downsized baked good versions from ATK's cookbook prompted me to search for other downsized recipes. In addition, there are no pictures of any of the baked goods except for illustration that are decorative rather than informative. If you're an avid baker who enjoys more complex recipes, the recipes are well proportioned for downsized baking instead of just dividing a normal recipes by half, thirds or quarters.
Outstanding!!!!!! Recently became "empty nesters" and this book takes the guessing out of trying to reduce recipes that are enough for just two...it helps us not to have the temptation to overeat and wasting money on food that you would typically end up throwing away if it become spoiled.The recipes are endless so I'm sure there is something for everyone.
I used to cook for a family of 5, so when all the kids left home (finally), it was hard to scale down. Even now that I've learned to cook only 2 chicken breasts :-), I still had trouble with baking. This book solves it all. We no longer have to eat a whole 9 inch cake! My doctor loves it.

Finally! Kids Hearing Protection!
Earmuffs Are Perfect for Taking to Your Favorites Outings Like:
You now have a solution to providing hearing protection for children with sensitive hearing and kids that need hearing protection. The Banz hearing protectors effectively attenuate harmful loud noises without shutting out other ambient sounds. The earmuffs are easy to wear, with a low profile and no protruding parts that can catch on things. The wide, foam-filled cushions ensure that the set doesn't squeeze uncomfortably, and there is plenty of space for the ears inside the shells. Banz earmuffs have a comfy leather cover over the headband to ensure all over comfort!! The weight is also important to comfort; each ear muff weighs just 190 grams.
Made in China
Earmuffs can be worn by children of all ages. However, we recommend that they are not used for children less than 6 months old. This is due to the fact that newborns heads are quite soft and the Earmuffs are a reasonably tight fit. Please Note: This is a Recommendation only. We have had customers use our Earmuffs on children less than 6 months with no problems whatsoever. Should you find the ear muffs to be a bit too tight, they can be stretched slightly. Simply place two chairs back to back, and stretch the ear muffs over the two chairs. After leaving the ear muffs for a while, they will have stretched by a small amount, making them a bit less tight when worn.
