All Rise...
Judge William Lee has nothing to gain.
The Charge
His music was visionary. His lovers were legendary. His life was extraordinary.
Opening Statement
French singer-songwriter, poet and artist Serge Gainsbourg (1928-1991) was an icon in his time. He remains a legend to alternative music makers and fans. Renowned comic book artist Joann Sfar has adapted his own graphic novel into the movie Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life. The unconventional biopic has some wonderfully imaginative visuals, but its narrative disappoints because it only scratches the surface of the man's psyche.
Facts of the Case
From an early age, Lucien Ginsburg (Kacey Mottet Klein) showed talent at the piano thanks to his father's instruction. In his adolescent years, enrolled in a rural boarding school and hiding from the occupying Nazis, Lucien devoted himself to becoming a visual artist. Adopting the stage name Serge Gainsbourg (Eric Elmosnino, Father of My Children) in adulthood, he finds fame dabbling in various musical styles to match his sometimes dark and sexually suggestive lyrics. Serge is accompanied, so to speak, in his life's journey by Professor Flipus (Doug Jones, Hellboy II: The Golden Army), a product of his imagination manifest as a towering puppet with grotesquely exaggerated features. Stung in adolescence when a girl told him he was too ugly, Serge is always self-conscious of his looks but that doesn't prevent him from having affairs with some of the most desirable women in the world.
The Evidence
Established fans of the French music icon will enjoy Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life the most because a familiarity with the trajectory of the man's life, especially his love life, will certainly make the story more coherent. Viewers with little or no knowledge of Serge Gainsbourg will have to infer the details between the big chapters of his life. The movie is a reverential treatment of his legend shown through the recreation of several "best of" tracks from his life. That isn't to say casual viewers won't be entertained by the convincing performances and Sfar's visually joyous canvas.
The director's effortless blending of the fantastical really sets this movie apart from the standard biopic. The two key puppet creations come from young Lucien's exposure to anti-Semitic poster art and his processing of his perceived ugliness. These racist caricatures become surreally oversized entities with which the boy is able to cope and interact. The enigmatic Flipus appears regularly to influence the adult Serge but whether he's a force of good or ill is vague. Sfar also demonstrates comfort at using special effects and expressive lighting to create a fairytale atmosphere. These fanciful elements are unexpected in a story based on a real person's life but I found them to be welcome creative touches. It would have been even better if they were used to provide insight into the things that inspired the man.
The women in Gainsbourg's life form a significant part of his legend but unless you've studied up on his love affairs, they will seem like a parade of beautiful but interchangeable foils. Juliette Greco, Jane Birkin, France Gall and Bambou are supposed to be recognizable women in his life but aside from a very basic understanding of who each one is (she's a singer or she's an actress) there is little effort put into fleshing them out as characters. The one woman I did recognize was Brigitte Bardot (Laetitia Casta, Love Street) but even she enters and exits without much context to her place in the world apart from being Serge's lover. It's also startling to suddenly hear that Serge is married, to a woman I don't recall seeing earlier, and that he has children and then later he's with another high profile woman.
The movie dutifully touches on several key moments in Gainsbourg's life but the connecting contexts and motivations are missing. If someone else were holding the remote control, you'd swear they were indiscriminately skipping forward on the DVD. The soundtrack is peppered with Gainsbourg's best songs and some are performed as recording sessions or stage shows. However, there isn't much in the script to explain the evolution of his music over time. Gainsbourg effortlessly creates music out of thin air: improvising lyrics that work perfectly and apparently drawing from all sorts of styles without difficulty. That works fine for building his image as an artistic genius but it's a lazy way to portray a thoughtful and hard working musician.
The Blu-ray sports a very good AVC-encoded 1080p transfer. The image is very sharp but never distractingly so. Deep color saturation works well to lend the film a slightly hyper real atmosphere but skin tones look natural. There isn't a lot of detail in the shadows but this seems to be due to the deliberately high contrast lighting featured in many scenes. Fine film grain is barely noticeable throughout. The audio is presented on two DTS-HD Master Audio mixes (though they are not listed on the back cover art). Both the 5.1 surround mix and the 2.0 stereo mix are excellent. The dialogue sounds clear and strong while the musical numbers blend in very well whether they're supposed to be sung by the characters or heard in the background. The 5.1 option uses the surround channels to enrich the soundscape of the club scenes and some others but this isn't the kind of sound mix that is going to impress with its directional effects. In the service of this movie, featuring much dialogue and music, the audio performs very well. This is the 122-minute version of the movie and the cut that the director prefers for international release.
There are a few extras on the same Blu-ray Disc with the movie. A nine-minute making-of featurette takes you behind the scenes to hear from the director and observe the crew at work. These segments seem designed for promotional purposes so they aren't very insightful. A series of still images reproduce the storyboards for a few scenes. The artwork is by director Joann Sfar and show off his watercolor cartoon style. Close observation of these images compared against the finished sequences reveals a couple of deleted moments. The trailer is also included on this disc.
The second disc in this package is a DVD with the 43-minute documentary Joann Sfar (Drawings) directed by Mathieu Amalric (Quantum of Solace). The film profiles the artist, following him as he goes to various locations to find subjects to draw. The camera spends a lot of time observing Sfar's hand at work so I grew to appreciate his technique and skill. Sfar also guides us through some of his finished comic strips and explains his drawing philosophy culled from his years of training. It's a straightforward and observant short documentary presented in 1.33:1 full frame with stereo sound. It's an appropriate supplement to the main feature since Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life says more about the director's motivations than that of his subject.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Fans of Gainsbourg's music may find enough in this movie to be entertained. It follows the standard music biopic checklist, making stops at some important points in the subject's life, including popular tunes in the chronicle, fitting in visits with notable people, leading to the subject's eventual decline from substance abuse. The performances are good despite thinly developed supporting characters and Eric Elmosnino is a natural in the lead role.
Closing Statement
The imaginative visuals liven up this standard musical biopic but the script doesn't let us really know Gainsbourg. Consequently, we're relegated to the perspective of appreciative fans watching the highlights reel of his life. The subtitle of the movie is "A Heroic Life" but it seems more fitting to call this a charmed one. Gainsbourg experiences hardly any adversity in this movie. From a briefly illustrated sense of his childhood spent hiding from the Nazis, to his stumbling into career success and the parade of beautiful women who enter and exit his life, Gainsbourg drifts through his extraordinary existence seemingly too cool to really notice. Still, there's enough to appreciate in this movie to recommend a rental.

With Soulfly -- the band he's been fronting since a less-than-pleasant split with metal giants Sepultura eight years ago -- Max Cavalera has been on a mission to both delight and challenge his longtime followers. While there's no lack of hardcore bark and guitar growl on the band's latest album, Prophecy, those sonic blasts are frequently downshifted by the inclusion of flamenco guitar, Brazilian percussion, horns, and dub textures, all nods to Cavalera's South American roots and more prevalent here than any previous Soulfly disc. It's definitely the band's most fascinating set yet, one that slides a straightforwardly heavy version of Helmet's "In the Meantime" next to "Moses," an extended reggae jam with Serbian Jah-rockers Eyesburn (Prophecy's other guests include onetime Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson and Ill Ni--o guitarist Mark Rizzo). You can probably expect to hear both sides of Soulfly live, and it could be the kind of spiritual experience that's gotten Cavalera dubbed "the Bob Marley of metal."

Huntsman: I Would Attack To Prevent A Nuclear-Armed Iran
GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman is set to deliver a foreign policy address at Southern New Hampshire University at 11 o'clock on Monday (stream here). Huntsman, who was Obama's ambassador to China, is usually considered to have a less hawkish line than most of the Republican field, tacking to the left, for example, on issues like withdrawing from Afghanistan. But according to excerpts released by Time Magazine, Huntsman flirts with the notion of preventative war against Iran:
I cannot live with a nuclear-armed Iran. If you want an example of when I would use American force, it would be that.

An article I saw led me to ask myself this question, and I thought I'd post it here so we can all help each other to remember what things we'll need to pick up before our babies are born!
My DD is only 2 yrs old as of 2 months ago, but it seems like it was forever ago that she was an infant! Please feel free to add your own things to the list, it may remind someone else that they need to pick up that item also! I always like to be as prepared as possible, so here are a few things I thought of that I'll need to pick up or stock up on before DD #2 arrives:
infant pacifiers
infant diapers
feminine pads
tucks pads
nursing pads (for leaks)
lanolin cream
New set of Medela soft shells (I don't usually buy what I consider "unnecessary" things like this, but these are actually AMAZING)

I have a user table, a user_items table, a user_to_group table and a group table.
How would I convert the following SQL query to the correct Linq-to-sql query?
select user.username, user.email, user_items.item_number, item_types.desc, [group].name from user
left join user_items on user.user_id = user_items.user_id
left join item_types on user_items.item_type_id = item_types.item_type_id
left join user_to_group on user.user_id = user_to_group.user_id
left join [group] on user_to_group.group_id = [group].group_id
I have tried using group joins and joining with DefaultIfEmpty, but I'm unable to return the exact same results as my SQL query.
Thank you.
Sure, I could break it down into:
select user.username, user.email, user_items.item_number from user
left join user_items on user.user_id = user_items.user_id
Which I have in linq2sql as:
var users = (from u in db.users
join ui in db.user_items on u.user_id equals ui.user_id into useritems from ui in useritems.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { user = u, item_number = useritems == null ? string.Empty : useritems.FirstOrDefault().item_number});
However, it still doesn't return all the results it should, and I can't see where I'm going wrong.

Elias Says...
Special to ESPN.com
Noah has a prolific night
From Elias: Joakim Noah did it all for the Bulls in their victory over the Pistons on Friday night. Noah had 30 points, 23 rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocked shots in Chicago's win. Only one other player has reached those levels in those five categories in the same game: Golden State's Joe Barry Carroll, and it took him four overtimes to do it. On February 1, 1987, Carroll registered 43 points, 24 rebounds, six assists, three steals and four blocks against the Nets. (The NBA began recording steals and blocks in 1973.)
Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons
Popovich has Spurs off to another fast start
From Elias: The Spurs defeated the Rockets by a score of 114-92 to run their record to 16-4 on Friday night. This is the sixth time that Gregg Popovich's squad has won at least 16 of its first 20 games of a season. Only two other head coaches did that as many as six times in their career: Phil Jackson (seven) and Red Auerbach (six).
San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets
McGee is perfect in Indiana
From Elias: JaVale McGee scored 20 points and made all nine of his field-goal attempts to help lead the Nuggets to a victory over the Pacers at Indiana on Friday night. McGee is only the second player in the Nuggets' NBA franchise history to make all of his shots from the field on at least nine attempts in a road game. Bobby Jones went 9-for-9 from the field for the Nuggets at Milwaukee on November 6, 1976.
Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers
Stevenson does his all of his damage from beyond the arc
From Elias: DeShawn Stevenson's five three-point field goals accounted for all of his 15 points in Atlanta's win over the Wizards on Friday night. Since the NBA instituted the three-point line in 1979, only three other Hawks have scored at least 15 points in a game, all coming on three-point shots: Tyrone Corbin on March 23, 1997 (15 points), Salim Stoudamire on April 6, 2007 (21) and Mike Bibby on February 16, 2011 (15).
Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards
Turner torments Celtics again
From Elias: Evan Turner registered 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead the 76ers to an overtime win over the Celtics on Friday night. Turner had 25 points and 11 rebounds in Philadelphia's victory over Boston earlier this season (November 9). Over the last 40 seasons, only three other 76ers have posted at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in consecutive games against the Celtics: Julius Erving (1979-80), Moses Malone (1982-83) and Charles Barkley (1988-89).
Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers
28 points and no turnovers for Curry
From Elias: Stephen Curry scored 28 points and did not commit a turnover in the Warriors' win over the Nets in Brooklyn on Friday night. It is the second most points Curry has scored in a game in which he did not turn the ball over, behind his 29-point effort on March 15, 2010.
Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets
Dalembert makes the most of his limited action
From Elias: Samuel Dalembert came off the bench and registered five blocked shots in just 14 minutes of action in the Bucks' win over the Bobcats on Friday night. There have been 207 other instances in which an individual registered at least five blocked shots in a game for Milwaukee, but Dalembert is the first to do it while playing fewer than 15 minutes.
Charlotte Bobcats, Milwaukee Bucks
Jazz win big after a rough first quarter
From Elias: The Jazz overcame a sluggish first quarter and registered a 131-99 victory over the Raptors on Friday night. Utah's 32-point margin of victory tied its second largest in a game in which it trailed at the end of the first quarter. Utah beat Golden State by 39 points after trailing by four points at the conclusion of the first quarter on April 13, 1992 and just two days later registered a 32-point win over Houston despite entering the second quarter with a one point deficit.
Westbrook has a big first half
From Elias: Russell Westbrook scored 27 of his 33 points in the first half in the Thunder's win over the Lakers on Friday night. It is the most points Westbrook has scored in the first half of a game in his career. Prior to Friday, Westbrook never scored more than 20 points in the first half of a game (he has scored 27 points in the second half twice).
Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder
Another 30 point/10 rebound game for Love
From Elias: Kevin Love had 36 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Timberwolves to a win over Cavaliers on Friday night. It marked the 29th time that Love has recorded at least 30 points and 10 rebounds in a game since the start of the 2010-11 season, by far the highest total for any player in the league. No other player has done that more than 20 times over the last three seasons.
Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers

81-year-old woman killed in Bennington crashStaff Report | July 11,2013BENNINGTON - An 81-year-old Bennington woman was killed Thursday morning when a vehicle she was riding in crashed into a tree, according to police.
Rachele M. Blott, who was sitting the backseat of the 2007 Buick four-door sedan, died of the injuries she suffered in the crash, police said.
The one-vehicle crash took place on Crescent Boulevard around 11:10 a.m. near the intersection with Westside Drive, police said.
Police said arriving at the scene they discovered that three sisters had been in the vehicle. The driver, Yvette Blott, 85, was pinned behind the steering wheel, and Colette D. Blott, 82, was out of the car trying to aid her sister in the backseat, Rachele Blott, according to police.
A preliminary investigation has shown that the vehicle was westbound on Crescent Boulevard and as it approached the area of Westside Drive and Pine Circle the car veered off the right side of the road and drove into a large pine tree, police said, adding that the car spun away from the tree and came to a stop..
All three sisters were treated at the scene by police and rescue and all were taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center for treatment. Police added that Yvette Blott was being transferred to the Albany, N.Y., Medical Center for back injuries, and Colette Blott was in stable condition at SVMC.

Project: Funded Project › Research
4/01/10 → 30/06/13
The MIPs modelling methodology is the most innovative and comprehensive approach to hillslope and catchment modelling to be developed in the last decade. It has produced good results for early plot and catchment applications at the small Gårdsjön site in Sweden but needs further testing against well-controlled data on the dynamic responses of both flow and transport. This is, of course, difficult in the field where the boundary conditions at profile, plot, hillslope and catchment scales can be poorly defined. The approach allows different model hypotheses will be tested, within a framework to take proper account of the uncertainties in the observational data. The MIPs modelling methodology provides an important opportunity for modellers and field researchers to collaborate, something that has been suggested as lacking in hydrological science in the past

Local live music venue The Zoo has really been throwing its support behind the local music scene of late, and Saturday July 28th will be no exception. The night will see some of Brisbane's strongest bands come together to put on a night of predominantly post and prog rock sounds. Hazards of Swimming Naked will headline the night. They've been a bit quiet lately but that is certainly not the case behind the scenes. These guys have been rehearsing solidly and are super keen to gig again. FEED have been putting in the hard work for several years now and punters at their shows are reaping the benefits. Fresh from a recent EP release that attracted big crowds and raving reviews, no other band is as deserving of a Saturday night slot at the Zoo. Echotide are taking a break from recording duties on their upcoming album to give what will certainly be a captivating performance of instrumental post rock. Kicking off the night will be one of the newest bands on the scene, Perilium. With a handful of quality shows and a recent album release under their belts, these four young lads are showing some serious potential. Hazards of Swimming Naked: www.reverbnation.com/hazardsofswimmingnaked FEED: www.reverbnation.com/feed Echotide: www.reverbnation.com/echotide Perilium: www.facebook.com/perilium When?

Investors, Net Buzzing Over Verizon iPhone Rumors
Apple was already set for a big week with the release of its iPad on Saturday. But the Internet's appetite for Apple product news is insatiable, as a Wall Street Journal story about the possibility of an iPhone for Verizon this summer has shown.
Apple's stock hit a record high in early trading Tuesday, jumping about 2 percent on news that a new iPhone — which has been available in the U.S. exclusively through AT&T — might soon be available for the Verizon Wireless network.
Verizon's stock was also up 2 percent on Tuesday, while Palm Inc. and Research in Motion, which manufactures BlackBerrys, were down sharply. Verizon is the largest customer for both manufacturers and the iPhone could eat into their sales.
An iPhone model for Verizon would be expected to double domestic sales of the device. Despite the popularity of the iPhone, Verizon has remained the nation's largest carrier for cell phone service.
"There is undoubtedly enormous pent-up demand for the iPhone on Verizon's superior network," Craig Moffett, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., said in a note to investors Tuesday. "IPhone availability will therefore mean an immediate acceleration for Verizon's subscriber growth and, conversely, immediate share losses for AT&T."
Verizon and Apple have refused comment on the report, but an AT&T spokesman told Information Week, "We expect the iPhone to be a part of our future for a long time."
Apple supplies the phone to multiple carriers in other countries. But AT&T and Verizon use different technologies. There have been reports that Apple wanted to wait until Verizon improved its network before manufacturing a compatible device.
Verizon's plans are taking longer than expected, however, meaning there's still a pretty big window into which sales of a new iPhone could fit.
Apple has released an upgrade of the iPhone every June for the past two years — which is the timing suggested by the Journal story. The Journal reports that a different contractor is slated to build the Verizon version.
Those tidbits about the manufacturer and the timing of the release were enough to convince The Unofficial Apple Weblog that this latest report has more credibility than previous rounds of speculation that the iPhone was ready for Verizon.
But John Gruber, a noted Apple fan and critic, dismissed the report as a "lame rumor."
"They have no actual details of the next-generation iPhone," Gruber writes in a post on his Daring Fireball blog. "Nothing."

WordPress version: 3.5.1
Plugin version: 2.1
Link to my site: http://www.alienhand.dk/v2
Hi there.
I want to use one of the button links to "add to cart" directly to the ecommerce called "WordPress Simple Ecommerce Shopping Cart Plugin- Sell products through Paypal". This Simple Ecommerce has the ability to use shortcodes - in this case [simpleecommcart_add_to_cart id="prodcutID" ]
After creating a product in the ecommerce it gets the id-tag "ID=1".
So I put the shortcode [simpleecommcart_add_to_cart id="1" ] in the "button 3 link" as the Simple Ecommerce support says.
I expected the plugin to do this:
By clicking the buy button I expected the product to be added to cart.
Instead it did this:
Gave me an 404 page: "Error 404 | Nothing found!"
Here's what I've tried so far:
I have tried the direct links with the shortcode but nothing helps.
Another weird problem:
When I go into my play list again and edit the track mentioned above, the button link has been converted to: [simpleecommcart_add_to_cart id=\
Could this be the problem?

I have a remote computer that will not allow incoming traffic due to ISP blocking of ports (basically double NAT situation that I am unable to get around). I am wondering if I have a computer acting as a client, is there any solution out there that will allow remote access to the computer. I do have other servers on the net that have static IP's that the computer could initiate a connection with.
I am thinking of using Debian Linux, However computer is not built yet so OS is not overly important at this point.


text: I'm using the StudioPress theme and really like it. But I want to have my site's logo in the header. So instead of the text saying what my site is, I want to put an image there. How would I go about doing that? I looked through the images for the theme, but none of them corresponded to replacing that part of the theme (I'm assuming because it's just text). Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks.

Macy Gray
parlayed an utterly unique voice and an outlandish sense of style into R&B stardom at the turn of the millennium, appealing to audiences of all colors in search of a fresh alternative to mainstream soul.
was actually born Natalie McIntyre in Canton, Ohio, and grew up a shy, awkward youngster who was frequently teased about her odd-sounding voice. She studied classical piano for seven years, but also soaked up the music of soul legends like
Stevie Wonder
Marvin Gaye
, and
Aretha Franklin
, not to mention old-school hip-hop; at boarding school as a teenager, she was exposed to a variety of white rock & roll as well. She moved to Los Angeles to enroll in USC's screen writing program, where one day she agreed to write lyrics for a musician friend's original songs. A demo session was scheduled to get the songs on tape, and when the singer failed to show up,
-- having adopted the full name of an elderly neighbor in Canton as her creative alias -- wound up singing on the recordings herself, in spite of her distaste for her own voice. One of the songs was never overdubbed with another vocal, and when the tapes started making the rounds of the local music scene,
's raspy growl attracted a lot of attention, much to her surprise. She was offered a job singing jazz and pop standards with a band that performed in hotels around Los Angeles, and her continued work as a demo singer created a buzz around the unlikely diva.
organized an after-hours club called the We Ours, which took place in a small coffeehouse; in addition to welcoming open-mike acts,
and her jazz group performed there regularly. She signed with Atlantic Records, who declined to release the album she recorded for them. Devastated by this rejection and the breakup of her marriage (her third child was on the way at the time),
retreated to Canton. However, her demo tape continued to make the rounds, and she returned to L.A. to accept a publishing deal with Zomba. This in turn helped lead to a new record contract with Epic in April 1998, and
spent the next year recording what was to become her debut album,
On How Life Is
. Released in the summer of 1999,
On How Life Is
won glowing reviews and great word of mouth, but in spite of all that -- plus a moderate hit single in "Do Something" -- the record was initially slow to catch on. That all changed early the next year, when
received two Grammy nominations (for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal), and the single "I Try" started to take off on radio. "I Try" proved to be an enormous hit, and
On How Life Is
suddenly sold like hot cakes, entering the Top Ten and going triple platinum by the end of 2000.
scored a smaller follow-up hit with "Why Don't You Call Me," and also raised eyebrows with the album track "I've Committed Murder," in which the protagonist gets away with her crime. Although
lost out her first time at the Grammys, she was nominated again the following year for Best Female Pop Vocal thanks to "I Try," and this time won (although the song lost out on Record of the Year and Song of the Year honors).
In late 2000,
contributed two vocal tracks to
Fatboy Slim
Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars
album; she subsequently recorded with
the Black Eyed Peas
, cut a duet with rap legend
Slick Rick
for the
Rush Hour 2
soundtrack ("The World Is Yours"), and made her screen acting debut in the Denzel Washington police drama
Training Day
. By the time she had begun work on her second album,
was developing a reputation for surreal public appearances and interviews, culminating in an August 2001 incident in which she was booed for apparently stumbling over the lyrics to the national anthem. Released the following month,
The Id
was a determined effort to play up the crazy side of
's image; it entered the charts at number 11 and quickly went gold on the strength of lead single "Sweet Baby." However, in spite of guest appearances by
Erykah Badu
the Red Hot Chili Peppers
John Frusciante
, among others, its sales stalled much sooner than expected. During 2002,
appeared as herself in the blockbuster film
Spider Man
and also guested on
. One year later, her third album --
The Trouble with Being Myself
-- arrived on the shelves, although it was also a flop in commercial terms (it just barely missed the Top 40). With a new production team, including
Black Eyed Peas
and his confederate
Ron Fair
returned with a slicker,
Tom Joyner
-approved version of soul on 2007's
, featuring collaborations with
Natalie Cole
. It didn't perform much better on the charts; it debuted (and peaked) at number 39.
The Sellout
, a 2010 release on the Concord label, featured some self-composed songs and an appearance from
Bobby Brown
then signed to the 429 label and released Covered in 2012. The album featured renditions of songs by Metallica, My Chemical Romance, and Kanye West. Later that year,
Stevie Wonder
's 1972 R&B classic received the same treatment (and the same title), Talking Book. In 2014, she released a set of original material, The Way, through Happy Mel Boopy Touring Co.

I will be raising a glass in Eames's honor at Chicago's best beer bar, The Hopleaf. And thinking about goddesses.
Brew pup?
Sorry about the tybo, Fnarf.
that's so heartening to hear! i write obituaries for a living, no lie, and everybody always tells me that my section is not to be skipped over.
of course, they're all over 65 and probably searching for their great aunts' death notices, but still.
oh, how i long for the day to write an obit about a scholar of beer... the best i get are seasonal santas. boo.
Headless women are not hot, no matter haw huge her breasts...
Mind your peas and bees, Dan.
I love obituaries. Just the ordinary people in the back of the paper. I've read thousands of them. You get a real feel for what life is like, even if it's fragmentary and grasping, in not very good English.
Well, I'd rather drink beer made from pre-chewed grains than that Original Pussy Beer. Just a personal preference.
I read obits trying to guess who was gay.

American presidents should avoid shaking the hand of dictators, especially those that have American blood on theirs. One example of many: Raul Castro was Minister of Defense in 1996 when Cuban Air Force MiGs, cold-bloodedly and over international airspace, destroyed two civilian U.S. airplanes with four American rescue workers on board. President Clinton rightly condemned the attack as cowardly, while Raul Castro decorated his pilots for bravery. That incident alone illustrates the difference between the two systems that are embodied in the two leaders. President Obama seems unaware of the importance of his office or of the mantle of honor he wears as the leader of the world's oldest democracy and the liberator of nations. There is no moral equivalence between the leader of the free world and the leader of a morally bankrupt military dictatorship that holds power only by force.
The Castro brothers have been vying for the world to see a handshake with a U.S. president for over 50 years. (President Clinton did shake hands with Fidel at a U.N. summit in 2000, but there was no photo.) They knew it would represent a form of recognition, something they forfeited by virtue of presiding over a military dictatorship, and their support for violence and anti-American terrorist movements and governments on three continents.
Until now, every American president had studiously avoided this mistake: At U.N. and other gatherings U.S. Secret Service agents and diplomats were under orders to make sure such a "photo op" so highly desired by the Castros did not happen.
With his greeting, President Obama has squandered U.S. prestige and honor.
— Otto J. Reich served President Bush from 2001 to 2004, first as assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere and later in the National Security Council.


text: 000 FXUS63 KMPX 280502 AAB AFDMPX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 1202 AM CDT THU JUL 28 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 335 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Showers and thunderstorms will end this evening as the upper level wave driving the storms moves southeast. Another weak wave will follow in its tracks and lead to an inverted surface trough and potential for a few showers and thunderstorms across southeast Minnesota on Thursday. Skies will be mostly cloudy to start the day Thursday morning, but should see clearing skies toward evening. Early afternoon water vapor imagery together with 500 mb height and wind showed an upper level wave across the Upper Mississippi River Valley. Forced ascent ahead of this wave together with low level warm air advection in a region of 1000 to 1500 J/kg, resulted in convection across eastern MN and west central WI. PWATs on the order of 1.5 to 1.7 inches together with a nearly moist adiabatic profile led to efficient rainfall rates on the order of 3 to 4 inches per hour. Curved hodographs and directional deep layer shear were favorable for supercells, and a few storms managed to take on this supercell structure and produce severe weather. As the evening goes on, the severe weather threat will completely diminish, but the heavy rain threat will persist. Looking ahead...the mid levels will dry out as the wave passes by, but low level moisture will linger so should see low stratus overnight with the overcast skies expected to persist through the morning before dissipating from north to south Thursday afternoon. This will hold back high temps in the mid-70s across the region. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 335 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 The main concern in the extended period is the strength of the upper ridge building next week and whether this pattern holds or buckles as a fairly strong upper low moves across southern Canada. Chances of precipitation past Thursday afternoon, and through the weekend remain very low due to a dry east-northeast flow in the low levels. Eventually winds will shift to the southeast and bring the heat and humidity back across the Upper Midwest next week. Models continue to support a long wave trough dropping southward across the Pacific Northwest this weekend. This will allow for the upper ridge to build through the Rockies and into the Upper Midwest by Monday/Tuesday. 50H anomalous remain above normal for early next week, but 70H temperatures are not as extreme then they were during the excessive heat time period last week. However, dew points will rise back into the 70s which means heat indices will increase above 90-100 degrees. I would not be surprised to see another heat advisory or warning next week. As for the lower 70H temperatures, the chances of precipitation have increased as the cap will be less. Although the strength of the upper ridge breaks down slightly across the northern tier of the country late next week, there remains some uncertainty on this pattern change. Will continue to advertise highs in the 80s, to lower 90s next week, but temperatures could reach the mid to upper 90s if this ridge holds on longer. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night) Issued at 1201 AM CDT THU JUL 28 2016 An upper low will slowly head southeast across WI through the period with an inverted trough stretching northwest into east central MN and west central WI. This should facilitate frequent periods of MVFR/IFR cigs in these areas through at least early Thursday afternoon, with some improvement possible late as drier air moves in from the north. Scattered showers will persist in this area through Thursday. STC will be on the western edge of these cigs. AXN/RWF will likely remain VFR through the period. KMSP...MVFR cigs finally firmly in place with IFR cigs not too far to the north. Cigs will lower to IFR shortly after 06z. Visibility should be unrestricted with 15-25 kt winds just above the surface. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Fri...Chc MVFR early. Winds E 5 kts. Sat...VFR. Winds SE 5 kts. Sun...VFR.

Social services is expected to file neglect charges against a Barren County grandmother accused of doing drugs while she was in charge of her three grandchildren.
Forty-nine-year-old Melisa Ann Kessinger of Temple Hill was arrested May 24, 2007. The Barren County Sheriff's Department went to her home after receiving information that Kessinger was possibly under the influence of drugs.
Authorities found Kessinger's three grandchildren, ages 11, nine and three in a pool in the backyard unsupervised. Kessinger had needle track marks on both arms and meth was found in a baggie in the bathroom.
Kessinger was arrested and charged with posession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor. Social services was called to return the children back to their parents in Owensboro, Ky.
Kessinger was already out of jail on bond for drug charges in Allen county.

Okay ... I'm starting a new thread because this is smilies related, and I'm not sure what I did wrong.
My blog index does come up, but my admin log in page does not. I get about 6 lines of errors that look like this:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/virtualw/public_html/blog/wp-config-extra.php:94) in /home/virtualw/public_html/blog/wp-login.php on line 254
I added about 7 icon_smiliename.gif to the smilies directory, and then added them to the wp-config-extras.php file.
I logged into my admin area, made post, used some of the new smilies, and all was good.
However, I then went back and added one more 'icon_cherry.gif' to the smilies directory, and added it to the wp-config-extras.php file and then tried to log into my admin area and got the above errors. I didn't do anything different, but something obviously went amuck!
As I said, my blog index page still comes up, but not the admin login.
Any ideas? I've looked and even deleted that icon and the code, and I still cannot login.
HUGz and thanks! Jules

Our first LO is named Caleb. We are having another little boy and my husband loves the name Caden. I kinda feel they sound so similiar, but yet different. I don't know??
And I have seen it listed as a boys or a girls name. Does it sound like a boy or girl name? And do Caleb and Caden sound too much the same?

Mr. West was in the building. The NBA's best defense so far this season, however, was not. Atlanta won this game by scoring easily throughout, particularly in the first half when they made 24 of the 39 shots they took. A whopping 17 of those makes were assisted, so this wasn't just the case of a few guys going off and making tough shots.

Invisible Man
by Ralph Ellison
Ras the Exhorter
Character Analysis
Ras the Destroyer (née Exhorter) is a "mahn" (as he puts it) from the West Indies. He is a black nationalist and strongly opposed to Brotherhood activities. He also—despite being a controversial figure in the world of Invisible Man—has a sweet name.
Where the Brotherhood is for integration with white society and the uplifting of all those who are oppressed, Ras the Exhorter espouses a specific, black-centered worldview:
You my brother, mahn. Brothers are the same color; how the hell you call these white men brother? Shit, mahn. That's shit! Brothers the same color. We sons of Mama Africa, you done forgot? You black, BLACK! You – Godahm, mahn! … Leave that shit, mahn. They sell you out. That shit is old-fashioned. They enslave us – you forget that? (17.130)
He's all for black segregation and power; at the end of the novel, he incites a race riot. His presence in the novel delineates another point of view on the situation of blacks in America—namely, black separatism.Ras the Exhorter Timeline

I've inherited the job of sorting out our servers for a major application that we run. Our main location for the domain has got a SSL cert on it, and this is running fine.
The problem begins to arise when we visit https:// versions of the other applications on the server, as these then try to use the VirtualHost for the main application.
https:/main.application.co.uk - Works fine as this has a VirtualHost for 443.
http:/secondary.application.co.uk - Works fine as it is not using port 443.
https:/secondary.application.co.uk - Try and uses VirtualHost for main.application as they sit on the same IP and is trying to use 443.
So in effect, visiting the https://secondary.application.co.uk, give's you https://main.application.co.uk but with a warning before you enter the site.
My question being: Is there a way to setup a default VirtualHost for :443 which will handle these requests, and potentially 404 them, or redirect them to the non http versions?
Server Madness!
Disclaimer: This was not my fault! And also I've realised I used single /'s in the URLs.

Dental Insurance – California
Get Free Quotes on California Dental Insurance
DentalInsurance.com offers free quotes and information on California dental insurance providers, allowing customers to compare plans side by side in order to choose an affordable plan that's right for them. See what's available in your area by typing in your zip code above. Before you begin comparing though, there are a few things you should know about dental insurance in California.
Types of Dental Insurance Plans in California
There are a few different types of dental insurance plans available in California that each offer different benefits and different payment plans. It's important to understand these differences before choosing a plan for yourself, your family, or your employees. The available types in California include:
- DHMOs (Dental Health Maintenance Organization)
- PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)
- Indemnity Plans
- Dental Fee Schedule
- Discount Dental Plans
Discount Dental Plans:
Discount dental plans offer immediate coverage and unlimited services within a California dental network based on a discounted fee schedule. Customers pay for a discount card through annual or monthly payments, which allow them to take advantage of dental services within the network for at a discounted rate. The savings from these plans often outweigh the cost of the card, though patients should be aware of the terms of the plan, which may stipulate that all discounted costs must be paid up front. Discount dental plans available in California include Aetna, Careington, and Patriot.
DHMOs (Dental Health Maintenance Organizations)
DHMOs (Dental Health Maintenance Organizations) are similar to medical HMOs, and are sometimes called "capitation plans." The way DHMOs work is that a dentist receives a fixed monthly fee to provide a specified set of dental procedures for an individual or family at either no cost or a reduced price. Patients pay a monthly or annual payment for membership in the HMO, and then have access to the specified services. Most DHMOs specify a length of time between visits as well as the size of the patient pool, and may have special emergency dental care and patients who are travelling. DHMOs in California include Dental Health Services, Primecare, and Safeguard.
Indemnity Plans
Indemnity Plans are sometimes referred to as "traditional" dental insurance, and typically provide the most freedom in terms of choice of dentist, though usually with higher out-of-pocket payments. Indemnity plan providers make payments after receiving and reviewing the bill, and typically pay a percentage of the cost for a particular procedure based on a fee schedule. Each provider has a different fee schedule, as well as policies that dictate the frequency of which this pay schedule changes and is communicated to the patients. California indemnity plans also require a deductible and a waiting period before certain services are covered. California indemnity plans include American National, Nationwide, and Transamerica (also known as Encore).
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations)
PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations) are dental networks that provide a listing of approved dentists who have agreed by contract to provide care at a reduced cost in exchange for greater access to patients and a streamlined reimbursement system. Dental PPO patients choose their dentist form the approved list, and are assured of the maximum cost of treatment. No specialist referrals are required. Each California dental PPO has its own network and approved set of treatments. Dental PPOs available in California include Compbenefits, Delta Dental, Blue Cross of California, and HumanaOne.
Fee Schedule Plans
Fee Schedule Plans are similar to PPOs in that they provide an approved network of dentists, but they provide reimbursements for a specific amount based on a fee schedule. Fee schedule plans usually offer lower premiums than regular PPOs, but the patient is responsible for any costs incurred that go beyond the approved amount. Fee schedule plan provider in California include Security Life.

NY Thrift Shops Told To Stop Selling Children's Clothing With DrawstringsThey are clothing that in rare cases can kill.

If there's a magic pill for staying youthful, it may be one that's hard to swallow: exercise. Daily doses have been proven to thwart a number of aging factors—stress, obesity, heart disease, diabetes—and the longer you're physically active, the less you'll notice getting older.
The catch is that a 50-year-old's body is not the same as a 20-year-old's; you can't push it the same way you once did, nor should you if you want to keep it in working-out order. So listen to these coaches—they're talking not just professionally but also firsthand—on how to remain fit, and proud of it, through the decades.
Find the perfect fit for any age!

They are actual boots, not boot-covers, and they were made to fit each girl. There is a zipper up the back, and the soles were cut from rubber mats. Check it out!

The Sequoyah County District Attorney's office on Tuesday filed a notice of intent to introduce evidence of other wrongs in the case of a youth minister accused of making indecent proposals to a 14-year-old girl….
According to court records, Sequoyah County Sheriff's Deputy Cindy Smith received a report on June 29 from a girl, who was 13 at the time.
The girl relayed to police several alleged conversations that she had with [Spencer] Tally that became sexual…. According to court records, Tally admitted that one of the girl's friends told him the girl liked him. Smith asked Tally if he noticed any odd behavior by the girl, to which he said he noticed she may have been flirting with him, but nothing more. He also said the girl had been dressing differently lately. Smith asked Tally if he found it odd that the girl and Tally had so many phone conversations over a short period, to which he replied that he had to be available for the youth.
