Danica Novgorodoff isnât the most well known name in comics, but over the past few years, the Yale-educated painter, photographer and artist has been making a name for herself. In 2006, her minicomic, âA Late Freeze,â won the Isotope Award for Excellence in Mini-Comics. In 2007, she was an Eisner nominee for Best Single Issue Comic. 2008 saw the release of her debut graphic novel, âSlow Storm.â
Her new book, just out from First Second, is âRefresh, Refresh.â The book has an interesting pedigree, starting out as a short story by Benjamin Percy that was then adapted into a film script by James Ponsoldt, but itâs a story that Novgorodoff made her own. The story of three young men in Central Oregon whose fathers are in Iraq, the original version was named one of the Best American Short Stories of 2006. Novgorodoff spoke with CBR News about the book and her work as a whole.
Coming off "Slow Storm," what was it appealed to you about adapting a short story/screenplay into a graphic novel?Â
I wasnât looking to adapt anything or work with someone elseâs writing â but I read "Refresh, Refresh," and really loved it. I thought it would make a great graphic novel. I supposed it did appeal to me in that I didnât have to worry about the writing, about whether it was good or bad or unclear or unresolved or unconvincing (all the things I worried about in my own writing) â because it was already a good piece of writing, and thatâs why I chose it. Â
Thatâs interesting, because âRefresh, Refreshâ isnât wholly foreign from your other work in thematically speaking, especially your first graphic novel âSlow Storm.â Do you think thatâs what attracted you to it?
Yes, I definitely want to feel like I'm working on something that I can feel close to, that I can make my own. I certainly didn't feel like I was working on a project "for" someone else. The characters and their stories really got to me â that's why I wanted to make this book.
How much freedom were you given in terms of adapting James Ponsoldtâs screenplay, and how much freedom did you take?Â
James gave me a lot of freedom â he trusted me as an artist and as a storyteller, so I went ahead and cut some scenes out, combined others, rearranged their order, added dialogue where needed, and so forth. I tried to stay true to the original authorsâ intent and the charactersâ personalities and the general momentum of the story. Actually, I structured my version firmly around the idea of three seasons, three âacts,â from summer to autumn to winter, as the three friends quickly grow up, as their games get more violent, and as their home situations become more intense. Whereas I believe the movie will have to be filmed in one season. Also, the screenplay was still a work in progress when I picked it up, so James even used some of my ideas for changes to the script in his subsequent drafts, and in the end I think the two versions are fairly different.
Thatâs interesting, because in the short story, how much time passes is unknown, and in a film, especially an independent one, it would be filmed over just a few weeks. What made you decide to break it down the way you did and depict that passage of time?
I wanted to show a clear progression, paralleling the increasing sense of violence with the passing of the seasons. In the summer, Josh, Cody and Gordon are kids having fun, playing pranks, going to parties, going hunting. By the winter, their games have turned brutal, their family lives have grown tense, and while they're still trying to hold onto their childhoods, they're being forced to grow up. I think the passage of time also emphasizes their increasing longing for their fathers to come home. Each change in seasons is marked with a fight scene â one in the summer where theyâre boxing in a ring with rules, with gloves, for fun; in the autumn itâs becoming reckless; by the winter they use homemade weapons and there are no rules to the game.
Had you read Benjamin Percyâs short story before this?Â
I read the short story right after I read the screenplay. I drew from both to create the script for the graphic novel â while most of the dialogue was drawn from the screenplay, I used some text directly from the short story, narrated in the first person by the main character, Josh, in captions in the opening sequence and then once more later in the story.Â
Was there any narration in James Ponsoldtâs script and were you at all cautious about using it?
There was no narration in the script, and I didnât want to rely on narration much at all â I try to show what the characters are thinking and feeling through action and dialogue as much as possible. But some of the passages in the short story were so beautiful and simple and really got to the heart of the story, so I wanted to include them in the text of the graphic novel.
Were you at all familiar with Central Oregon prior to this? What kind of background research did you do to get a sense of the landscape?Â
Iâd been to Portland before, but never to central Oregon, to the small town setting where "Refresh, Refresh" takes place. So I made a trip to Bend and surrounding areas before beginning to draw the book, and spent a week photographing the area, hiking in the forest reserves, walking around small towns, exploring lava fields and caves (which are beautiful, you should go if you get a chance!). I love traveling to new places, so researching for a book is always a good excuse to travel.Â
Thereâs a dream sequence near the very end of the book which you portrayed in watercolors, and it looks and feels completely unlike the rest of the book. Why did you chose to depict it in that style?
This is the only scene in which we get a glimpse of Iraq, and I wanted it to be haunting, strange â really, completely different than the world that Josh knows. He, like most civilians, has only the most vague idea of what war might be like â a collection of undefined, unnerving images. Itâs a vision of whatâs to come. Â
It is so vague and unreal, but itâs also a completely different texture than the rest of the book. Â It felt as if youâre also making the point that ,while Josh doesnât know what heâs getting into, he knows that itâs completely unlike the world he knows. I know the dream wasnât in the short story, but was it in the script and was your idea always to do it in a completely different style?
The dream sequence is not in the script or the short story. In adapting the script, I felt there needed to be some space in time and action between when the boys commit their crime and when they carry out their plan for how to atone for it. Josh spends the night, in a way, with his father, reflecting upon what he must do. I think I was reading Denis Johnsonâs âTree of Smokeâ when the idea came to me â the image of a pillar of smoke rising on the horizon is biblical and terrifying and mysterious. Itâs drawn in a completely different style because I wanted the landscape to be unrecognizable and abstract at first, and gradually form into this vision of the future for Josh, and that was much better expressed in watercolor than in the crisp definition of a black line drawing.
You didnât color the book yourself, opting instead to have a colorist handle that job. How much did you and the colorist, Hilary Sycamore, talk about the way it would look?Â
We talked quite a bit â I did several sample pages for her to get an idea of how I wanted the color to look. I asked her to try a different color scheme for each season. Each of the boys has their own color scheme as well â both in their clothes and in their respective housesâ décor. Halfway through the process I asked Hilary if we could add pencil color texture to give it a more hand-made feel â and I was glad she didnât freak out at the idea. She is great to work with. Â
You also have a solo exhibition âPolaris, Octantis,â going on this month at the Charmingwall gallery. Could you talk about the show a little for those of us who canât get down to the West Village to see it this month?Â
Itâs a show of small paintings that I made mostly inspired by travels to Argentina (in 2008) and to Iceland (this past spring). The paintings all have a sort of expedition theme â the title refers to the North Star and South Star. Some are paintings of horses swimming in the âhorse latitudes;â horses thrown overboard ships stranded in windless expanses of ocean. Some of them are also about the opposite poles of Joy and Depression. You can see images of these paintings on my website. Â
Itâs not strictly relevant to the conversation, but I know from reading your resume that you were Sally Mannâs assistant. Sheâs an amazing photographer, and Iâm just curious about how that experience has influenced your aesthetic?Â
Thatâs a good question; I can point to so many ways that sheâs influenced me â the obsession with horses we share, the books I read, my photographs (though I havenât done much photography lately), the way Iâd like to live one day (she has a 450 acre farm in Virginia with horses, a river, an organic garden...) â but Iâm not sure I can pinpoint how my current work relates directly to what I learned from her. I think her influence on me is not simply visual, but a much deeper sense of what makes good art and good life â look for whatâs simple, true, painfully intimate, astonishingly beautiful.
I do remember painting like a crazy person the first summer I spent at her farm â I was going through a brief abstract period at the age of 19, and one night I made five or six paintings. Some of them were actually pretty good! I felt like Iâd started to find a âvoiceâ as an artist there. I must have been inspired by something. Â
So tell us, what are you working on now?Â
Iâve started working on a book called âThe House of Discount Torture.â Set in China, itâs about a young man who is sent on a mission by his family to procure a dead bride for his brother, who has just been killed in an accident. Itâs based on a real tradition of ghost marriages that dates back to at least the 3rd century A.D. After botching a grave-robbing, the young man sets his sights on a live girl with the notion to kill her in order to complete his task. Instead, he ends up kidnapping her, and, against his own will, falling in love with her. The story follows the two travelers on a journey as he tries and fails to complete his mission, the girl tries and fails to escape from her captor, and they meet a host of strange characters along the way. Itâs sort of an eastern Western.
What did you learn from adapting and taking apart âRefresh Refreshâ that influenced your own writing and how you approached âThe House of Discount Torture?â
I really liked working in short scenes in âRefresh, Refresh,â and I think Iâll use that method of breaking up the story into small âchaptersâ in âThe House of Discount Torture.â I liked how the scenes allowed the reader to follow several storylines simultaneously. Iâve also picked up the idea of repetition â coming back to the same places, creating a cyclical structure. Repetition (as in the fight scenes in âRefresh, Refreshâ) shows a progression, a gradual change. Like in âRefresh, Refresh,â the charactersâ situations and emotional lives in âThe House of Discount Tortureâ change gradually but profoundly over the course of the story.
The official book release party for âRefresh, Refreshâ will be held at Rocketship in Brooklyn, NY this Saturday, September 26. More information can be found at rocketshipstore.blogspot.com.

The problem is that first request through HTTPS to the server meets very slow response (like 10s) even if database is not involved. Next requests are realized in eye blink. At the same time without SSL it works fast constantly. Few days ago situation was inversed - most of the traffic was without SSL ant then it was fast without SSL and with SSL slow.
I want connections to go through SSL but the first reponse after some time of lack of activity at level of about 10 seconds is unacceptable. What could I change in probably apache2 config to avoid the first slow response?

According to DOB, the Braves hierarchy has yet to initiate contract talks with Jay Hey and Freddie. Heyward has little incentive to sign an extension, as he's only two years from free agency. Re-upping Freddie, a free agent after 2016, is still possible, but it won't be easy. If it doesn't happen this offseason, it probably won't.
With thirtysomething mediocrities like Jhonny Peralta and Jason Vargas inking four-year deals, imagine what a 27-year-old Freeman will fetch on the open market Kris Medlen, a free agent after 2015, has to be licking his chops. So does Craig Kimbrel, a free agent in three years.
Of the current core, only Mike Minor, Andrelton and Julio Teheran are signed through 2017, when Pascual Perez Memorial Stadium is scheduled to open. Minor, like B.J. Upton, will be in the last year of his contract, while Andrelton and Julio will be two years from free agency.
The Braves have been largely averse to extensions, and for the most part it's worked to their advantage (see Francoeur, Hanson, Jurrjens, Escobar). But it's a risk work taking, allowing teams like the Rays to keep Evan Longoria throughout his peak years. Considering the Braves' local TV contract, it's a risk they must take.
If the team doesn't make serious efforts to lock up their celebrated core, it'll be fair to conclude that Liberty believes building a new stadium is more profitable than fielding a winning team.

Travis Yost recently discussed the utility of individual point percentage (IPP) in forecasting player performance. The article is a great introduction to IPP, so I recommend reading the entire thing if you're not familiar with the concept.
Here's a excerpt:
Another metric I like to look at is 'Individual Point Percentage' ("IPP"), which shows how frequently a player was awarded a point in an event his team (a) scored; and (b) the player was on the ice. Much like our on-ice save percentage example for defencemen, IPP regresses substantially towards league averages. On average, forwards usually receive a point on about 68 per cent of goals scored when they are on the ice. That number sits at about 30 per cent for defencemen.
Context is key: we simply can't treat all players as equals in a hockey vacuum. Sidney Crosby(84.8 per cent) and Erik Karlsson (49.4 per cent) lead career IPP and it's not a fluke – they're constantly involved in the run of play, and as such, pick up extra points along the way. If we want to identify outliers, we must first observe strong deviations from the league norms, and then observe strong deviations from a player's career norms.
Let's apply this to the 2015-16 Capitals.

She's reunited her ex-husband, Robert Preston, played by a recast Tristan Gemmill. I like them together and he's pretty hot. She doesn't have much of a story at the moment, but Rob will be coming back for a limited return in the next few weeks.

The ZebraBoard: A New MIDI Controller
Some of the inner structure of musical patterns is revealed when the musical patterns are given a two-dimensional expression on the fingerboard of a stringed instrument. This unfolding of content is analogous to the analysis of signals for correlation or periodicity. A new type of MIDI controller has been developed to further explore these ideas.

Hi there,
Question: I have a site that's supposed to be separated into a Winter side and a Summer side. The winter side will have a winter montage/collage, and the Summer, yep, a summer montage. It's a challenge though with just one theme for the whole site, so I was wondering if there's a simple way to customize the themes for different pages.
I found a plug-in that will do it, however, it seems to be in very little use which concerns me. I'd rather try something that's tried and true.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

Hudson triple murder suspect had June drug arrest
Published: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 4:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 4:30 p.m.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- The convicted felon named a suspect in the Chicago murders of three members of Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson's family was arrested for possession of cocaine in June, but authorities declined to return him to prison on a parole violation, internal parole records show.
The suspect, William Balfour, also missed a meeting with his parole agent on Friday, the day Hudson's mother and brother were murdered and her 7-year-old nephew went missing. Reached by phone that afternoon, he told the agent he was "baby-sitting on the West Side of Chicago," according to the documents, obtained by The Associated Press.
The agent said he thought he heard a child in the background during the call.
Hudson's nephew, Julian King, was found shot to death in the back of an SUV on Chicago's West Side on Monday. Julian shared a home with Hudson's mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, and brother, 29-year-old Jason Hudson, who also were both shot to death.
Authorities declared Julian's death a homicide Tuesday. No one has been charged in the killings.
Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister, served seven years for an earlier attempted murder and vehicular hijacking.
The Illinois Department of Corrections issued a warrant for Balfour on Saturday for violating terms of his parole by possessing a weapon and failing to attend anger management counseling and a substance abuse program, according to his parole history report.
The records indicate a parole supervisor declined to issue a warrant to revoke Balfour's parole after Chicago police arrested him June 19 for possession of a controlled substance.
"Per supervisor ... no warrant," the report reads. "Agent to monitor offender, impose sanctions."
A judge dismissed the cocaine charges for lack of probable cause in July, according to Cook County court records.
But under the strict rules of the state's parole program, Balfour could have gone back to prison just for the arrest.
A board that reviews such cases after parolees are sent back to prison relies on a preponderance of the evidence, a lower standard than in court. The board considers the violence of the original crime, the parole agent's recommendation, the arrest report, the parolee's adjustment and his attitude during a follow up interview in prison, among other things.
Corrections Department spokesman Derek Schnapp said officials reviewed the case but determined "the evidence that was presented during that time wouldn't have necessarily warranted a violation."
In Balfour's case, a violation could have sent him back behind bars for a period as long as the remainder of his parole until May 2009 minus a day off for each day of good behavior. That would have meant a release date in mid-December at the earliest.
The parole history report on Balfour also shows that a woman at Balfour's home refused to open the door during an agent's visit on Aug. 27. The woman told the agent during the 8:30 a.m. visit that Balfour was at work but Balfour's boss told the agent he wasn't due until noon.
"Agent heard other people inside the host site and suspected maybe suspicious activities going on," the report said. "Agent will be following up for a possible warrant on parolee."
There's no warrant mentioned in following days on the report, which does note, however, that Balfour passed a drug test.
Schnapp said the evidence again wasn't sufficient to warrant revoking parole.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hfactor98 Exceptional!!!! I had been eyeing this wreath for a couple of years. This past Halloween I pulled the trigger and purchased the wreath. I couldn't believe I had waited so long. Halloween is a big deal in my neighborhood and I received lots of compliments on this wreath. Thank you Grandin Road! June 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by HalloweenQueen44 Amazing The quality of this wreath is amazing. I absolutely adore it. I thought about making my own to avoid the price tag, but by the time I looked into materials, there wouldn't be much savings, and I could never replicate this. It's worth every penny! July 12, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by littleL Delightful Eyed this wreath for a full year before buying; it just arrived. The photo representations are accurate. It needs some sprucing up and a little glue before it will be display ready, but it should be a wonderful addition to our Halloween collection. The packaging was terrible. The cardboard box was flimsy and beat up when it arrived which probably explains why one of the fingers had broken off in transit. It can be easily glued, but it was disappointing given the hefty price tag. August 21, 2015

''I'm the guy that's taking a long time to go around any
corner,'' laughed the Queenstown man, who has a penchant for
both the historical aspect of skiing and craftsmanship.
Two years ago, Mr Guyton established Vintage Ski, a small
business which supplies vintage ski equipment, mostly for
home or lodge decor.
Vintage skis were ''quite hard to find'' and he sourced them
internationally, from both Europe and Japan. He also made
skis, selling them as far afield as Greece and Noumea.
While the ski industry was high fashion, it was nice to get
into what was ''not just a little bit retro but truly
retro'', he said.
''It's good fun. I really enjoy it. People seem to get into
it as well. I enjoy history with a bit of craftsmanship,'' he
While selling skis for interior decor was the biggest part of
his business, he also sold old anorak-style jackets, canvas
backpacks, ski goggles, posters and prints, and coat racks
made from skis.
He has a display at ski and snowboard rental business Snow
Rental in Camp St in Queenstown and a workshop and display
room at his home.
The skis were more like art than a piece of sporting
equipment and it was nice to make beautiful things for people
to enhance their homes, he said.
Mr Guyton preferred to use native hardwood to make his skis,
which were bent in a steam chamber.
Pine tar was used on the bottom of the skis, which was then
heated with a blow-torch, to provide water proofing. Each
piece of wood was different so no two pairs of skis were the
same, he said.
Mr Guyton, who has been skiing since he was a young child,
said doing so with vintage skis was ''an art''.
At about 2.1m, the skis were much longer than their modern
counterparts and it took a long time to go around corners.
The wood made a different noise on the snow, compared with
that of modern, synthetic skis, and it was ''very cool''.
''Get the right conditions and it's a great way to spend the
afternoon. But if it's icy, look out,'' he said.

Moving Towards KDE: Apple Opens WebKit for External Developers
Apple developer Maciej Stachowiak has announced a new policy for developers of the HTML rendering library Webkit. It will close the gap between Apple developers and external programmers.
The policy will give KDE community members and external developers access to the Webkit CVS. Webkit is a free HTML rendering engine which is maintained by Apple, and is based on the KDE project's KHTML rendering engine. Apart from in Apple's Safari browser and on the iPhone, the Webkit, which is available under the LGPL and in part under the BSD license, is used in various projects. Trolltech's decision to integrate Webkit with QT prompted the KDE community to add new KHTML features to Webkit with a view of possibly porting Webkit.
The port is controversial because the KDE community needs some influence on the development of Webkit to achieve its aims. The KDE team has some doubts about the use of Webkit instead of KHTML, as Webkit depends on Apple's commercial interests. Apple' new policies removes these doubts and demonstrates Apple's willingness to allow external developers to participate in the engine in future.
KDE developer Aaron Seigo welcomes the new policy in his blog, saying that this is a step in the right direction and that the KDE team encourage Apple and anyone with a business interest in Webkit to choose a strategy of trust.

Davis VantagePro2 Snow Measurements
QuestionDoes the Davis VantagePro2 measure snow?
AnswerNo, it does not. It will "count" the snowfall only after the snow melts. The black rain gauge will assist in melting the snow because the black plastic absorbs solar energy.
You can add a rain collector heater, which acts as a thermal blanket to melt the snow. However, it does require external AC power (cord and transformer are included). This rain collector heater can effect the temperature reading.

The Mishimoto racing thermostat for the 2002-2006 Acura RSX will promote greater cooling efficiency throughout your engine. The Mishimoto racing thermostat will significantly decrease high engine temperature resulting from modified and upgraded turbo applications. Once the engine is fully warmed up, the Mishimoto racing thermostat will open up at a lower temperature (60° C) than standard RSX thermostats (78° C). This allows the coolant to flow through the engine sooner, thus reducing and maintaining cooler engine temperatures.

New Guidelines for Osteoporosis Screening & Foods You Can Eat Now for Strong Bones in the Future
There are new guidelines for osteoporosis screening that will now include many women under the age of 60.
Will these new guidelines affect you?
The answer is maybe.
Basically, it will be recommended that women who could be at a greater risk for fractures (such as a family history of fractures, history of smoking, history of alcohol abuse, or having a slender frame), now be given osteoporosis screenings (bone density tests) at a much younger age then previously suggested. The important part of this news is that it will require insurance companies to cover the cost of these screening tests -- that they might otherwise have not paid for in younger women.
From WebMD -- New Recommendations for Osteoporosis Screening:
The panel maintained its recommendation that all women age 65 and over should get bone density testing, even if they have no other risk factors for the disease, which causes bone to break down faster than it rebuilds. Over time, bones become weaker and more likely to break under even normal stresses and strains, like minor falls.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, half of all postmenopausal women and about one-quarter of men will break a bone because of osteoporosis in their lifetimes.
Is there anything you can do to lower you chances of developing osteoporosis?
Yes. Eating foods high in vitamin D and calcium today, could help decrease your chances of bone problems in the future.
Are you and your family getting enough vitamin D and calcium?
Foods high in Vitamin D:
1. Fish oil, cod liver -- Vitamin D: 2217IU
2. Fish, herring, Atlantic, raw -- Vitamin D: 2061IU
3. Fish, catfish, channel, wild, raw -- Vitamin D: 1053IU
4. Mollusks, oyster, eastern, wild, raw -- Vitamin D: 941IU
5. Fish, salmon, sockeye, canned, drained solids with bone -- Vitamin D: 920IU
6. Fish, salmon, pink, canned, solids with bone and liquid -- Vitamin D: 898IU
7. Steelhead trout, boiled, canned (Alaska Native) -- Vitamin D: 760IU
8. Fish, salmon, pink, canned, drained solids with bone -- Vitamin D: 685IU
9. Fish, halibut, Greenland, raw -- Vitamin D: 645IU
10. Vitasoy USA, Nasoya Lite Firm Tofu -- Vitamin D: 581IU
Foods in addition to diary products that are high in calcium:
1. Sesame Seeds -- A quarter cup of sesame seeds has 351 mg calcium.
2. Spinach -- A cup of boiled spinach has 245 mg.
3. Collard Greens -- A cup of boiled collard greens has 266 mg.
4. Blackstrap Molasses -- One tablespoon has about 137 mg.
5. Kelp -- One cup of raw kelp has 136 mg.
6. Tahini -- Two tablespoons of raw tahini (sesame seed butter) have 126 mg.
7. Broccoli -- Two cups of boiled broccoli have 124 mg.
8. Swiss Chard -- One cup of boiled chard has 102 mg.
9. Kale -- One cup of boiled kale has 94 mg.
10. Brazil Nuts -- Two ounces of Brazil nuts (12 nuts) have 90 mg.
11. Celery -- Two cups of raw celery have 81 mg.
12. Almonds -- One ounce of almonds (23 nuts) has 75 mg.
13. Papaya -- One medium papaya has 73 mg.
14. Flax Seeds -- Two tablespoons of flax seeds have 52 mg.
15. Oranges --One medium orange has 52 mg.
I also did a post back in July about the precursor to osteoporosis called osteopenia -- Gwyneth Paltrow has Osteopenia.
Osteopenia is the term used for bone density that falls somewhere between less than normal and osteoporosis. People with osteopenia have a greater chance of developing osteporosis, a bone disease which leads to an increased risk of fractures.
Paltrow was told by her doctors that her vitamin D levels were extremely low. Because vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium into our bones, a vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of her early diagnosis of osteopenia.
What do you think about the new screening recommendations? Have you had a bone density test? Are you at a greater risk for osteoporosis? Do you try to eat foods that are rich in vitamin D and calcium to prevent bone loss? Please share your thoughts in comments.

A pleasant-enough all-in-one-night comedy, featuring a protagonist facing the classic "Graduate"-like existential dilemma of post-college paralysis.
Grace and his collaborators set out to make a typical '80s sex comedy and succeeded all too well; most of the movies they're paying homage to weren't very good, either.
As on their TV collaboration, "That '70s Show," the time period never extends much farther than hairdos, costume design, and soundtrack hits.
Take Me Home Tonight must have been made with people who had a great deal of nostalgia for the 1980s, a relatively unsung decade. More power to them. The movie unfortunately gives them no dialogue expanding them into recognizable human beings.
Take Me Home Tonight isn't nearly as much fun as the '80s actually were. Even worse, it's less fun than most '80s comedies were - and that's bad.

Mar 14, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lloyd Dobler had nothing going for him. He was a mediocre student with no apparent college plans. As for a career, don't ask: Lloyd wanted to be a kickboxer. And to boot, the slacker had this nervous talking habit where he'd be liable to say anything, and did, much to the befuddlement of his listeners. Lloyd seemed to have no future, a likely candidate to work at a video rental store or some other dead-end job, but still he somehow nabbed Diane Court, the school valedictorian, no less. Alas, that's the movies for you; the movies being primarily a patriarchal construct in which the guy always gets the girl, no matter how dubious his credentials may be. "Take Me Home Tonight", set one year before the popular Cameron Crowe film, which set hearts a flutter with its indelible boombox scene, is just the latest example of this popular male fantasy, the myth that love conquers all boundaries, and as a result, gives false hope to underachievers worldwide. Matt Franklin(Topher Grace) is a clerk, but he's no ordinary clerk: the Suncoast Video employee keeps a diploma from M.I.T. tucked away in his back pocket, and is taking his own sweet time in cashing it in, much to the chagrin of his cop father who footed the considerable bill. Two years out of college, Matt's post-graduate blues is reaching epidemic proportions, a rut that just turned official. And then, in the nick of time, Matt has a "Casablanca" moment, the kick in the pants he sorely needs to get himself motivated. It's a girl. It's always a girl. To paraphrase Humphrey Bogart in the 1942 Michael Curtiz film: "Of all the video stores, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine." It's Tori Fredkering(Teresa Palmer), in the flesh, the girl he rightfully diagnosed as being out of his league when they were both in high school. And unfortunately, is still out of his league, although it didn't have to be that way. Embarrassed by his job, Matt pretends to be a customer and tells Tori he works at Goldman Sachs, which would make him, in his estimation, worthy of her company. She invites him to a party, and if you don't like parties, "Take Me Home Tonight" will try your patience, especially if you're not a fan of eighties-era musical acts such as Men Without Hats("The Safety Dance") and Dexy's Midnight Runners("C'mon Eileen"), because the time they spend at the post-graduate kegger takes on an "Exterminating Angel(-esque)"-like length. Like the guests in the 1962 Luis Bunuel head-scratcher, the moviegoer wonders if Matt and Tori will ever leave. But if you're a fan of the milieu, the stay isn't an unwelcome one, even if the musical choices are wholly unadventurous and reduces the decade into cheesiness( whereas Crowe used the amazing Paul Westerberg-penned curio "Within Your Reach" in his 1989 classic). On what is undoubtedly the greatest night of this video clerk's life, Matt sees the inherent tragedy of his failure to launch, as he tastes life for the first time, which would be a fleeting glimpse in the real world, because in the real world, there are consequences for procrastination and fibs. Tori Fredreking likes Matt as a Goldman Sachs associate. But he's not a securities broker. He wears a name tag. In "Say Anything", the gap between Lloyd Dobler and Diane Court seemed too implausibly wide, due to the close proximity of their then-prevailing milieu(great Peter Gabirel song notwithstanding), whereas Matt and Tori, far-removed from the social hierarchy of high school that made such a unlikely pairing the stuff of teen romantic comedies, is a coupling which the moviegoer could buy. What the moviegoer can't buy, however, concerns Matt's lie about his current employer. Under false pretenses, Tori has sex with him. Feeling soiled and used upon discovering the truth, she grants him a mulligan, on the basis, by all appearances, of his ability to ride the "ball" down a steep hill without dying. That's the male fantasy at work. An act that insipid wouldn't work in the real world. The man encounters no repercussions for his dishonesty. Give Lloyd some credit. In front of Diane's father and his father's friends, he tells them the truth, not some bulls*it about wanting to start his own business or practicing law. "Kickboxing is the sport of the future," he proudly declares, and for all we know, that's what he became.… Expand
Jun 27, 2014You know i didn't really care to see this movie when it first came out the trailers didn't do anything for me but after my friend said that itYou know i didn't really care to see this movie when it first came out the trailers didn't do anything for me but after my friend said that it was actually pretty decent i decided id give it a shot and surprisingly the movie turned put better than what i thought it would. Now i find Topher Grace really annoying like most of us do but shockingly he didn't ruin the movie the movie for me. The movie surprisingly has quite a few well known actors even ones in minor roles like, Chris Pratt, Michelle Trachtenberg, Bob Odenkirk, Michael Biehn and Demetri Martin which for the most part i can't stand but his few parts in this were pretty funny. The main cast being Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Teresa Palmer, and Dan Fogler which for the most part all did solid performances but for me at least the highlight of the movie was Fogler as he has multiple scenes that were just hilarious.
The story follows Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) a MIT graduate working at his local video store in the mall while trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. After seeing his high school crush Tori Fredreking (Teresa Palmer) Matt makes it his plan that to ask her out. That's pretty much the whole story, yeah it may be overused and predictable it still makes for a decent romcom. Despite the movie being rated R it still plays it safe with nothing but dropping the F bomb a bunch of times oh and i guess you also get to see some boobs.
Overall i give it a 6.0 Absolute best thing about this movie was the awesome soundtrack loaded with tons of great 80's songs.… Expand

The biggest surprise for me is Anna Farris. It's refreshing to see her in the smart girl role. Her relationship with her brother (Grace) is surprisingly nuanced for an 80's flick. Angie Everhart is another pleasant surprise. So yeah, it's between a 5 and 6 for me, but I'd be loathe to recommend it to the masses.… Expand

Most Helpful
In a rush to get to work I threw the oatmeal in the blender with hot water. Let it sit while I got the rest of the ingredients. Using a whole large apple minus the applesauce, Added 1 teaspoon flax seeds, skipped the syrup. Loved the turmeric as my arthritis is acting up. In a rush so forgot the cubes and you know it was great without it! Thanks for a healthy breakfast on the run.

Extremely disappointed with this place:
\n1. ruined a new dress of mine and refused to do anything, plus they blamed it back on me and asked for the evidence (as if I would have video-taped them while they washed my dress?)
\n2. receptionist staff do not speak English AT ALL and do not know their job. Cannot even communicate about wash vs. dry clean
\n3. worst thing is the manager/owner is not responsible and not responsive. He kept promising to investigate and to call back but that never happened. Finally I got him on the phone and he refused responsibility
\n4. the place is dirty and low-class. It advertises low prices but have the minimum charge or charge different prices from the signs. One attendant tried to charge us $75 to clean a $50 jacket. They don't advertise the minimum of $10 on washing services.
\nSTAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. YOU WON'T MISS ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR BEING SO MAD

The Jets' Defensive Strength Now Up Front
They lost a big-time cornerback, but the line has come up big
The trade that sent Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay was supposed to decimate the Jets defense. Without the legendary cornerback, predominant wisdom had it, opposing offenses didn't have anyone to fear.
Five months later, the Jets are 2-1, in part, because of the trade—not in spite of it. They have the league's third-ranked defense, a budding defensive line and they've held opponents to a 26.9% conversion rate on third down (second in the NFL).
"We got chemistry to grow," said defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson, who was taken with the first-round pick obtained in the Revis trade. "Even if it's third-and-1, we pretty much hold our own."
Nobody is arguing that Revis hurt the defense. Jets coach Rex Ryan said Friday that the All-Pro "did an unbelievable" job with the team. But Ryan isn't working to help players win individual superlatives. He's trying to create the league's best defensive unit and that's dependent on more than one player.
"He only covered one man," Ryan said. "It wasn't like he could cover the whole field."
Now the Jets' defensive strength is up front instead of in the secondary. Lineman such as Richardson, Kenrick Ellis and Muhammad Wilkerson and linebacker/defensive end Quinton Coples (all of whom are 25 or younger) have helped to keep opposing rushers to 3.2 yards per carry (third in the NFL).
"We have three first-round picks in a row in that defensive line and every one of them are hits," Ryan said of Richardson, Wilkerson and Coples. "That bodes well for us moving forward."
The downside to the Revis deal has been the inconsistent play in the secondary this season. The unit has only one interception and fourth-year cornerback Kyle Wilson's four penalties nearly cost the Jets a Week 3 win over the Bills.
As for Dee Milliner, the first-round pick expected to replace Revis, injuries have been a factor. An issue with his left hamstring will sideline him this week, but even when he was healthy enough to play, Milliner got benched during the Week 2 loss to the Patriots.
The good news for the defensive backs is that the front seven has made things easier in two ways.
First, the team's 12 sacks (tied for third) have taken some work off the defensive backs' plate.
"Our defensive line has done a great job of getting pressure on the quarterback," said cornerback Darrin Walls, who should see more playing time this Sunday.
Second, by stopping the run, the Jets defense has limited opponents' time to throw the football. And seeing as they've allowed 12 yards per reception (tied for 23rd), that's been a pretty important detail.
The Jets rank third in time of possession and their clock dominance has been a welcome surprise. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg may have dismissed it as "a secondary thing, but Ryan insists time of possession will be a factor this Sunday—particularly with running back Chris Johnson in the Titans's backfield.
"When you look at this Tennessee Titans team, they've improved almost five minutes from the previous year," Ryan said. "So obviously, it's something that's been a big focus on them, trying to get off the field on third down on defense and possess the football and control the ball with all their running. This team runs more than any team in the league."
Thanks to running back Bilal Powell (4.3 yards per carry) the Jets haven't been shy about running either. Even with Chris Ivory hurting (his hamstring injury will keep him out of Sunday's game), the Jets are tied with the Titans at 401 rushing yards for the year.
That means Sunday's game will feature two ground-and-pound teams who have been dominating the clock.
In other words, it's a good time to have 295-pound run stuffer like Richardson as opposed to an elite cornerback, regardless of his reputation.

This is actually a 2 part question, one for design decisions, and the other a technical question:
In our current network, we have Linux clients that authenticate against a server, and mount the user's network home, but keeping the real home separate. The network home is mounted using pam_mount, and is unmounted on logout. However, the real home area remains, so our current approach is to clear /home on boot.
I have been looking into alternate methods of performing this, and an interesting way would be to mount a tmpfs 'disk' as the user's home area, then unmount it on logout. This would ideally be performed using pam_mount also. I have run into problems attempting to get this to work, which are detailed below.
Method 1
The 'original' clear /home on boot method, reliable, will generally always work, but might thrash the HDD/SSD due to many writes in the same areas. Current implementation is working fully.
Method 2
The 'new' tmpfs volatile home area, which is unmounted on logout. Advantages include automatic cleanup of home areas, fast reads/writes, and no disk reads/writes. Also gives easy limiting to size of home area. Disadvantages are potential running out of memory, but also several problems that I experienced:
On a heavily modified Ubuntu 12.04 system using XFCE, mounting the tmpfs through pam_mount worked fine, but unmounting failed with a Device is busy error. The problems don't stop there though, since even after logging out and working as root attempting to manually unmount the home area gave the same error, even though fuser and lsof showed nothing using that directory. In fact, I asked about this problem on askubuntu.com.
Attempting to do the same thing on a more standard Ubuntu 12.04 still failed using pam_mount to unmount, but manually unmounting worked fine this time. Doing exactly the same with my Arch system worked, even with pam_mount doing the unmounting.
So there are two methods to doing this. Are there any other pros/cons to each method, which might want to make me choose one over the other? And why won't the tmpfs home area thing work properly!

How far can we get from predicting the future by looking backwards? Probably decently far, but I find it more fun to predict the future from sci-fi. If we can imagine it, we're that much closer to making it. This next year might not be the one where you get your flying car or your hover board, but I'd love to be proven wrong there. So, what can we expect to see from the exponential curve of technological progress in 2013?

This morning I attended a wonderful talk by Yancey Stricker, co-founder of Kickstarter, at Creative Mornings.
Admirably, Kickstarter has been thriving with no advertising or promotion of that sort. Their model is brilliant. When someone creates a project, they talk to everybody they know about it and that drives people to Kickstarter naturally. No smarmy, icky feelings necessary. Kickstarter takes 5% of successfully funded projects, as well they should for creating and sustaining such a worthwhile platform.

Any good reasons why this is dropping IF anyone has an opinion to share?
I believe that high prices of oil, gas and propane have triggered a conservation process with nrgy customers and in the MLP area which will negatively effect earnings. That and the credit crisis contribute to the down turn in MLPS. NRGY did miss on the last two earnings reported. that did not help things much. i have trimmed back on my holdings in this mlp
Possibly the lawsuit in Michigan for purported price gouging is adding to it.
Don't know the reason for the decline. Too nuch emotion in the market, too many people in the market. My broker, Raymond James, as of ten days ago still likes the stock and has a strong buy on it. Said he wishes he had other stocks as good.

Sibley is a town in south Webster Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 1,218 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Minden Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Community highlights[edit]
The former Sibley High School, now known as Lakeside Junior and Senior High School, is located south of town off Louisiana Highway 7. The Sibley Town Hall was relocated to a portion of the former Sibley High School campus.
Calloway Corners[edit]
North of Sibley is Calloway Corners Bed and Breakfast, refurbished in 1991 by Jeanne Woods, formerly of San Diego, California.[3] Woods turned her business into a vacation destination through Harlequin Enterprises, which produces popular romance novels.[4] Woods said that she chose the white house that had been abandoned in Sibley because "I love this part of the country. The people have great charm. They are so friendly and easy to know. It's so different. People care about people here; they're not caught up in the rush of life."[4] Calloway Corners is featured on the front of several books penned by romance novelists Katherine Burton, Sandra Canfield, Tracy Hughes, and Penny Richards. Woods even got the state of Louisiana and the Webster Parish Police Jury to designate Calloway Corners as a "town" on signs on Highway 7.[4][5]
Yellow Pine[edit]
The Yellow Pine community south of Sibley began as a sawmill of the Long Bell Company. Yellow Pine was the home of a comissary of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad. The mill employed both white and African American laborers. There were private residences and hotels in Yellow Pine, which was consolidated in 1921 with Sibley.[6]
The American artist Ben Earl Looney was born and reared in Yellow Pine but graduated from Minden High School before launching a career which took him to many parts of the United States.[7]
In a predominantly African American section of Yellow Pine is a community formerly known as "King Solomon Hill," centered on an actual hill on which stood King Solomon Hill Baptist Church. (The community is now known as "Salt Works.") The blues historian Gayle Dean Wardlow concluded that it was from this address that Paramount Records chose to give the blues musician Joe Holmes, a resident of Sibley, the recording name of King Solomon Hill.[8]
Sibley is the home of several churches, including First Baptist, First United Methodist, Missionary Baptist, and the Independent Baptist congregation, Baptist Tabernacle, founded by the late evangelist Jimmy G. Tharpe. In 2010, Baptist Tabernacle began constructing a new sanctuary adjacent to the existing one.
Lane Memorial Cemetery is adjacent to the Methodist Church.
Sibley is located at 32°32′27″N 93°17′36″W / 32.54083°N 93.29333°W (32.540704, -93.293208).[9]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 4.0 square miles (10.4 km²), of which 3.9 square miles (10.0 km²) is land and 0.1 square mile (0.4 km²) (3.49%) is water.
