Comic strips | Reflecting on Charles M. Schulz's long-running Peanuts, Kevin Wong lays much of the blame for the comic strip's slow decline at the feet of the increasingly popular Snoopy: "[N]ear the end of the 60s and well into the 70s, the cracks started to show. Snoopy began walking on his hind legs and using his hands, and that was the beginning of the end for the strip. Perhaps he was technically still a dog, but in a very substantial way, Snoopy had overcome the principal struggle of his existence. His opposable thumbs and upward positioning meant that for all intents and purposes, he was now a human in a dog costume. One of his new roleplays was to be different Joes — Joe Cool, Joe Skateboard, etc." [Kotaku]
Since its launch in 2012, the Image series Skullkickers has filled the hole that was missing sword-and-sorcery, beer-drinkin', raucous fight comic. We didn't know we needed it until we got it, but now I'm glad it's here. And now series artist Edwin Huang is stepping up his game with a deluxe art book containing his other creator-owned work, as well as that of some of his friend. And he's using Kickstarter to do it.
UDON Entertainment, the Ontario-based publisher of manga, artbooks and comics like Street Fighter and Darkstalkers, has entered into a distribution agreement with digital-comics platform comiXology.
The announcement, made Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego, was accompanied by the digital release of seven licensed and original comics and graphic novels from UNDON's back catalog: Street Fighter #0-4, by Ken Siu-Chong, Arnold Tsang, Alvin Lee, Alan Tam and others; Makeshift Miracle #1, by Jim Zub and Shun Hong Chan; and Super Street Fighter, Vol. 1: New Generations, by Ken Siu-Chong, Jim Zub, Chris Sims, Jeffrey Chamba Cruz, Sean Galloway, Joe Ng, Gonzalo Ordonez Arias, Long Vo, Omar Dogan and Edwin Huang.
Those initial seven titles will be followed by more from UDON's back catalog, with new comics receiving same-day digital release.
"We're very excited to have many of UDON's original and licensed works available through comiXology," UDON Publisher Erik Ko said in a press release. "We've been working hard to secure digital rights for many of our licenses for the past several years, and we've prepared a slate of licensed comics and graphic novels from our Street Fighter and Darkstalkers line, as well as selections from our manga, art book, and original graphic novel series' that fans are really going to love."
ComiXology announced a similar distribution agreement on Thursday with manga publisher Seven Seas Entertainment.
And just like clockwork, Comic-Con International organizers have rolled out the programming schedule for Friday, July 19.
On its second day, the San Diego convention kicks into high gear, with publishing panels from Dark Horse (including one dedicated to Joss Whedon's titles, and another to Star Wars), DC Comics, IDW (including the Hasbro licenses), Marvel (including the perennial "Cup O' Joe"), Oni Press, Titan Comics and UDON, retrospectives devoted to ElfQuest, Walt Kelly, Aspen and Strangers in Paradise, and tributes to the late Carmine Infantino and Kim Thompson.
Oh, and don't forget the Eisner Awards ceremony, which caps off the day.
Check out some of the comics-related highlights below, and visit the Comic-Con website for the full schedule:
Everyone may be talking ab out this summer's face-off between the Avengers and this X-Men, but that fight is patty-cake compared to the drawn-out gang war between Marvel and Capcom. As shown in a string of hit video games whose sales eclipse AvX 10 times over, people love seeing Street Fighter characters go up against Marvel's finest. And now, comic fans — and video game fans — have a chance to find out more about the other side of that equation.
Earlier this month, UDON announced it's re-releasing its string of Street Fighter comics to new audiences, and not just in print. Earlier this week, the publisher revealed it will begin serializing its Street Fighter comics — for free! — at StreetFighterComics.com. According to UDON, a new page will be published every weekday, with printed editions coming later this year.
Street Fighter has always seemed like a concept ideal for comics, and UDON has a lot of quality material that wasn't given its due on initial release, so I'm excited for this to happen. I hope this is successful enough that they'll re-release Sharknife artist Corey Lewis' Rival Schools miniseries and the Street Fighter shorts he did a few years back.
Like clockwork, Comic-Con International organizers have released the programming schedule for Friday, July 13, the second full day of the San Diego convention. It sees publishers kicking things into high gear, with Marrvel's "Cup O' Joe" and DC Comics panels on the New 52 and Justice League and Green Lantern groups, as well as presentations from IDW Publishing, Oni Press, BOOM! Studios, UDON, and Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly.
That's only for starters, though, as AMC's The Walking Dead, Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The CW's Arrow make Comic-Con appearances, and creators as diverse as Joss Whedon, Kate Beaton, Larry Hama, Scott Snyder, Lynn Johnston, Dan Piraro, James Robinson and Jeff Lemire get the spotlight. There are also tributes to legendary creators Jerry Robinson and Joe Simon, as well as Comic-Con co-founder Richard Alf.
And to keep off the day, there's the 24th annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards.
We've selected some of the comics-related highlights below; visit the Comic-Con website to see the complete schedule.
In addition to writing the standout comics Skullkickers and Makeshift Miracle, Jim Zubkavich is an avid gamer and an editor at UDON Entertainment, which publishes comics and graphic novels based on games. So it's only natural that he would be involved in Shifty Look, a new project from Bandai Namco Games, the creator of classic games like Pac-Man and, more recently, the Naruto Shippuden game. Jim will be one of a number of creators who will be turning classic characters into webcomics… But let's let him tell us about it.
Robot 6: Can you explain what Shifty Look is all about?
Jim: Shifty Look is an experimental new website put together by video game/media giant Namco-Bandai. They have dozens and dozens of intellectual properties in their vaults and a lot of that material hasn't been utilized in many years.
Rob Pereyda and some of his colleagues at Namco had this brilliant idea to use a bit of seed money and see if they could refresh/reinvigorate old content in a way that wouldn't cost a ton but could also have impact. They struck upon the concept of webcomics and brought the UDON studio on board.
We went through lists of old IPs and did a bunch of research. Some of these titles were never released in North America, some hadn't been used at all since the 80's… but it's a whole new world now. Properties that might have seemed "too Japanese" back then are a perfect fit for the modern manga-reading North American audience. Other games had a visual hook we could turn into something new or even just a title that sounded like it had potential.
Late comics have been on the minds of comic publishers recently. Earlier this month Oni Press sent out a press release stating they were "100 percent On-Time" last year, and earlier this week UDON Publishing released a statement saying the company will implement a new production schedule to try and prevent lateness.
"UDON has never been the most 'timely' of publishers, though we've always been one of the hardest working ones publishing and we've been here for 11 years!" says the official statement attributed to the staff of UDON. "We've made great strides over the past couple of years, but still, lateness is a problem and it's one that we take seriously. Recently things had slipped pretty badly with our scheduling, and so we wanted to take a second to explain why sometimes a book is late, and what we're going to do about it. Out of respect for all parties we can't talk about individual projects, but just general reasons why a project might miss its release date."
The statement goes on to speak generally about the causes of late books in thee production schedule and the new steps the company is implementing to ensure that it sticks to the announced release dates. In addition to promising to keep an up-to-date list of solicited projects and their release dates on the UDON website, the company also says it's changing its previous stance and doing something that seems shocking it hasn't done before.
Back in May Udon Entertainment announced they were launching a line of original graphic novels, starting with a book called RandomVeus. Created by Jeffrey Cruz and co-writer Leonard Bermingham, the book features a bouffant-sporting hero and a team of couriers as they "deliver mysterious packages to every corner of the wild world known as the RandomVeus! Octopus ninjas, jazz-playing demons, buxom lady-pirates, cyborg gorillas, samurai mushrooms, and one giant furry squid monster are all on tap in this zaniest of zany adventures!"
The book debuts this week in San Diego and can be found at the Udon booth, #5037. I spoke with Cruz and Bermingham about it, their backgrounds and more.
JK: Tell me a little bit about yourselves. Where do you live and how did you meet?
Leonard: OK. I have been a comic fan since I was eight since a got into comics through the awesome X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons. Been a fan ever since. I found I really got into writing when I was in university where I met Jeff. I went and did a Masters of Creative Media to try and sharpen my writing. That's my origin story I guess.
Jeff: Well I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I enjoy my sequential art reading, which consist primarily of European and Asian books (there are American comics also) heh. Although drawing pretty much takes up a majority of my life (love it) and I'm not sure I'd want it any other way.
Toronto-based publisher Udon Entertainment, best known for comics based on Capcom games like Street Fighter, is launching a new line of original graphic novels—and dropping the monthly-comic format.
The line is launching with the first volume of RandomVeus, an original graphic novel by Jeffrey "Chamba" Cruz, who has honed his skills working on Udon's Street Fighter graphic novels. Here's the publisher's brief description, which I could not possibly improve upon:
Created by Jeffrey 'Chamba' Cruz and co-writer Leonard Bermingham, RandomVeus stars bouffant-sporting hero Raimundo and the team of One-Dimensional Couriers as they deliver mysterious packages to every corner of the wild world known as the RandomVeus! Octopus ninjas, jazz-playing demons, buxom lady-pirates, cyborg gorillas, samurai mushrooms, and one giant furry squid monster are all on tap in this zaniest of zany adventures!
That certainly seems to have a lot of crowd-pleasers, but don't go looking for a monthly fix: Udon will be publishing these original stories strictly as graphic novels in an amply sized 8″ x 11″ format, and they plan to move in that direction with their game-based comics as well.
"We want to give our artists' stories the best presentation possible right out the gate, so our focus is shifting to this deluxe format for our releases, dropping the monthly 'floppy' comic entirely," says UDON managing editor Matt Moylan. "While comic book sales are down all over the industry, UDON continues to do very well with our trade paperbacks and art books. We're taking the best of both by producing full length graphic novels at the same oversized dimensions that readers of our art books and 'Ultimate Edition' collections have come to enjoy."
Many who have been following this blog know I'm a fan of both Image's Skullkickers and Oni's The Sixth Gun. So when I saw that the two creator-owned books were having a mini-crossover of sorts — or, to be more specific, an ad swap — I thought it might be fun to see if Skullkickers writer Jim "Zub" Zubkavich and The Sixth Gun' writer Cullen Bunn might be up for interviewing each other.
So the duo hit Skype and had a long conversation that covered many different topics — how they pitched their books, their writing process, how they work with their artists, finding time to write and much more. My thanks to both Cullen and Jim for doing this, with an extra tip of the hat to Jim for transcribing it. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the second part of the interview.
Zub: So, let's start right off with the big news. Did I hear correctly that you're now writing full time? You quit your day job?
Cullen: I did. This is my third week as a full-time writer.
Zub: Awesome. What were you doing before that?
Image Comics has been on a role lately, it seems, with what I called earlier today "really strong, character-driven stories with a bold voice." Although it couldn't be any more different in subject matter than The Walking Dead, Chew and Morning Glories, in my mind Skullkickers fits into that same category with those titles. Writer Jim Zubkavich and artist Edwin Huang have created a fun fantasy comic with two incorrigible mercenaries out to make quick buck, with nothing playing out the way they'd hoped.
I spoke with Zubkavich, who works for UDON Entertainment when he isn't writing comics, about the book and what's coming up for the as-yet-unnamed stars. My thanks to Jim and Edwin, who shared some EXCLUSIVE art with us, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how some of the pages were created, including the crazy four-page spread from issue #3.
JK: For those who might not be familiar with it, what is Skullkickers?
Jim: The best way to describe Skullkickers is that it's like a buddy cop film slammed into Conan – banter meets barbarians. It's a sarcastically self aware sword & sorcery action-comedy series starring two monster mashing mercenaries who will do whatever it takes to get paid.
One of them is a surly stout dwarf with a violent temper and the other is a hulking brute who wields a strange anachronistic pistol that doesn't seem to belong in their high fantasy world. In the first story arc neither main character is named, but our readers have christened them as "Shorty" and "Baldy" for the time being.
JK: I guess I assumed when I first saw the pistol in issue #1 that the story was taking place in some sort of medieval/industrial mash-up world, but now that you mention it … is there a back story to the pistol?
Jim: Yes, there is a back story but I'm not prepared to tip my hand on it just yet. The world of Skullkickers plays fast and loose with an indiscriminate medieval fantasy time period in terms of culture/technology. There may be the occasional cannon out there on a seafaring war galleon, but Baldy's pistol is definitely out of the norm technology-wise and it will be explained at some point.
Broadway | The planned Jan. 11 opening for the $65-million musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark likely will be pushed back again, Kim Masters reports.

Legal | Roland Kelts provides commentary on the passage by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly of controversial legislation to further restrict sexual content in manga and anime: "Now we have Version 2 of the non-existent youth bill, with its opaque language promising to monitor depictions of fictional characters government officials decide are too young to be engaging in the fictional activities government officials decide are too harmful to real youth that government officials decide are too youthful to view or read about them. Meanwhile, it remains legal in Japan to possess child pornography, live-action or illustrated, rendering most attempts at enforcement toothless." Meanwhile, Japan Real Time, the Los Angeles Times and The Wall Street Journal report on the new ordinance and the surrounding controversy. [TCJ.com]
Last week I asked comic folks if they had anything cool they'd be bringing to Comic-Con next week, and boy did they respond. Here's the first of many posts that I'll put up between now and the show to spotlight some of the cool items you can buy on the floor … and, when applicable, where else you can buy them if you aren't at the show.
UDON Entertainment is celebrating their 10th anniversary with three hardcover books that'll premiere at the show. Regular softcover versions will be available in stores in August/September and are available to pre-order now on Amazon.
For manga and anime fans, Anime Expo is the first of the big summer cons. This year only a handful of manga publishers showed up, but all had plenty of energy and some new announcements to make. That's probably a good snapshot of the manga industry as a whole—there are only a few players left, but the survivors are pretty robust. Anime News Network has pretty exhaustive coverage of the con, and Animanga Nation does a nice job with a more casual feel.
Out of curiousity, I looked over con coverage from previous years to see who is missing this year. Bandai, Digital Manga, Tokyopop and Viz are clearly the survivors of the manga wars, although it was touch-and-go for Tokyopop for a while. Missing from the roster are Dark Horse, Del Rey, Seven Seas, Udon, Yaoi Press, and Yen Press, all of which have appeared at AX in previous years (although not recently), and ADV Manga, Aurora, Broccoli, CMX, DrMaster, and Go! Comi, which have all shut down or at least gone dark.
I thought it would be interesting to see how AX has evolved over the years, so let's climb into the time machine and take a look at past cons.

db_index=True creates indexes which PostgreSQL may not be able to use

Description (last modified by ubernostrum)
When a field is specified with db_index=True, or has an implicit index, Django uses a normal CREATE indexname ON table (column) statement to create the index in PostgreSQL. For queries using most operators this works, but if the column is text-based (e.g., TEXT or VARCHAR) and the locale of the database is other than 'C' -- e.g., if the database is created UTF-8 as recommended -- Postgres will not (and cannot) use this index for LIKE queries. Getting indexes for LIKE queries on these columns requires a second index. For example, given the following model (in an app named weblog):
class Entry(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_index=True) pub_date = models.DateTimeField() body = models.TextField()
something like the following is needed to enable the index on title to be used for all query types:
CREATE INDEX "weblog_entry_title" ON "weblog_entry" ("title"); CREATE INDEX "weblog_entry_title_like" ON "weblog_entry" ("title" varchar_pattern_ops);
The second index, created with varchar_pattern_ops, will be used on LIKE queries. Similarly, for a TEXT column, a second index must be created using text_pattern_ops.
I'm not sure whether this affects databases other than Postgres.

ARLINGTON (November 26, 2013) A macaw named Captain Jack was returned Tuesday to Bill Salmon, the owner of Sunrise Automotive, in Hurst, 10 days after the bird was stolen in a burglar.
Hurst police received a call on Nov. 17 about a colorful bird found dumped along a road.
Investigators evidently were unaware about the theft of the parrot from an Arlington business.
Arlington police on Monday asked for the public's help in finding Captain Jack, saying the bird was taken during a Nov. 15 burglary.
Hurst animal services officials took custody of the bird until learning that the owner was located.

Engagements with Thomas Merton
Rowan Williams
Fons Vitae, $19.95, 96 pp.
Like most of us, Rowan Williams, retired archbishop of Canterbury, came to know Thomas Merton through his writings—through books, poems, reviews, and essays composed during his lifetime, and after his death principally through collections of his journals and letters. The story of Merton's monastic career has been told often and well: how in entering the cloister in 1942 he thought he had left his old life behind to become a new man; and how he did become a new man, but not quite in the way anticipated. Two books of poems were published in 1944 and 1946, Thirty Poems and A Man in the Divided Sea. His first published prose, in 1948, The Seven Storey Mountain, was a runaway bestseller. Soon afterward came Seeds of Contemplation, The Tears of the Blind Lions, The Waters of Siloe, Elected Silence, and a British edition of The Seven Storey Mountain (edited by Evelyn Waugh).
For Williams, the most striking aspect of Merton's work was the way his profound attention to humans as social beings, and the activism that followed from that attention, coexisted with his ongoing commitment to contemplative life and prayer. These two seemingly contradictory activities form the substance...

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 2002
Running Time: 55
Director: Ernest Greene
Company: Bizarre Video
Cast: Nina Hartley, Stacy Burke, Jewel Marceau, Emily Marilyn, Tiffany Mynx, Anna Mills
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Hartley and Mynx fans should belly up for this bondage action.
In parts of this vid, the lighting is too red to the point where viewers can't see any of the damage the gals inflict on each other. Fetish model Stacy Burke enthusiastically takes on the tortures doled out, but it's frustrating not being able to see any of the welts because of the lighting. Nina Hartley dominates Jewel Marceau by making her balance a book on her head, then whipping her nicely and cruelly when it falls. Sadly, this is another one of the scenes where the welts aren't visible due to the lighting and the heat suffers for it, but regardless, Hartley's fans will enjoy watching her in this capacity.
The scene that will sell this video is the final one. Hartley tops Tiffany Mynx, strapping Mynx to a St. Andrew's cross and teasing her with a Fukuoku vibrator glove before slapping, whipping and teasing her until she begs to be fucked by Hartley. Because Mynx is bound, Hartley doing her with a strap-on is obscured, but it's there nonetheless. Nice.

Troops overran a rebel town and were locked in a second day of fierce clashes around Damascus on Thursday, as Islamic states urged Syria's regime and its foes to hold "serious" talks to end the bloodshed.
Opposition leader Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib has offered to hold peace talks with Syria's Vice President Faruq al-Sharaa, but Damascus has so far ignored the initiative and intensified attacks on rebel bastions.
After a 16-day onslaught, troops retook Karnaz on the strategic Damascus-Aleppo highway, said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"(Rebel) fighters withdrew from Karnaz, which they seized in December last year, after heavy fighting and regular forces regained control," he told AFP.
Clashes and heavy shelling rocked rebel strongholds around Damascus on the second day of an army offensive that the Observatory said had killed at least 64 people on Wednesday.
Mortar rounds killed six civilians in the northeastern district of Qaboon, among at least 92 people who died in nationwide violence on Thursday, according to a preliminary toll from the watchdog.
"The army is determined to crush terrorism around the capital and big cities, and over the past several days it has launched a qualitative operation and killed dozens of terrorists who dreamt of attacking and entering Damascus," pro-regime newspaper Al-Watan wrote.
The Observatory, which relies on a network of sources for its information, also reported regime shelling and clashes along a southern highway of the capital.
On the outskirts of the city, the Observatory said troops pounded rebel positions across the east and in the south, and that clashes erupted to the northeast.
These areas are among the strongest bastions of the rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, which is battling to suppress a revolt the UN says has killed more than 60,000 people.
Farther to the northwest, the army shelled areas near Zabadani, an activist told AFP, adding that many of those hurt had fled violence elsewhere in Damascus province.
"We think the army is hitting areas that are home to displaced people as a way to pressure the rebels into stopping their advances," said the activist who declined to be identified.
The offer for peace talks by Khatib, who heads the umbrella opposition National Coalition, was welcomed by the US and the Arab League, but Assad's regime has so far ignored the initiative and key opposition faction the Syrian National Council has flatly rejected it.
Khatib has stepped up the pressure to engage in talks by setting the regime a deadline of Sunday to free all women held in prisons.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, at the end of a two-day summit in Cairo, called for "serious dialogue" between the Coalition and regime officials open to political change and without blood on their hands.
Such dialogue should "pave the way for a transition that will allow the Syrian people to achieve their aspirations for democratic change," a spokesman for the 57-member OIC told AFP, citing a final declaration.
"The Syrian government is primarily responsible for the violence," said the statement, which urged the UN Security Council to "assume its responsibilities to end the violence and bloodshed."
Iran had "reservations about a passage or two" in the statement on Syria, outgoing OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said. Iraq and Lebanon also expressed reservations about the text, according to a source close to delegates.
Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi said he discussed a "general framework" on ways to resolve the conflict with Turkey and Iran on the sidelines of the summit.
"The foreign ministers are working on transforming this general framework into principles and measures" to be announced "in the coming days within an Arab, Islamic and international framework," he said.
The summit was being held in the absence of Syria which the OIC suspended in August over the regime's bloody crackdown on democracy protests.

Just curious--I've noticed something similar all of a sudden with my site (http://www.lucidityllc.com). Until around this morning, it seemed fine; then a few hours ago, a tiny little link "Pharmacy" popped up in the top left-hand corner of the screen. I have no idea how this happened, but have been trying to find out where in the body of my theme I can discover the code to delete it! Can anyone help? I don't know what to do--there's no div id called "wraps" that I can discover!
The only thing that I did in the middle was upgrade the Akismet and the All-in-One SEO plugins. Could that have somehow caused this?

The 12 days of Christmas are officially over and it's time to tear down the world's largest Gingerbread House at Traditions Golf Club in Bryan.
The edible house was not just candy covered, but built with a solid foundation, wooden framing, and trusses.
High quality materials were used to build the Gingerbread House, and Traditions is donating the deconstructed materials to Habitat for Humanity.
These donations will be very valuable to Habitat for Humanity as they hope to use much of the lumber to build Habitat homes.
Other materials will be sold at the Habitat ReStore in Bryan, with all profits going toward helping build more houses for local families.

What are the pros? easy and super tasty

Lovely little lettuce! Had a friend over for salads and he referred to it as "meaty, something to really sink your teeth into." I agree with the little to no dressing. I mix this with red romaine and it doesn't need much else.

-Southern Louisiana-I planted this in early October and got almost 100% germination within 2 weeks. It's been growing prolifically with little help from me for the last 3 months, I planted very close together and have been gradually thinning/eating as it
13 out of 15 people found the following review helpful:
I grew this all through fall '09 and it did great through several frosts for fresh Thanksgiving lettuce and even after that through December. I tried some this spring, but it was not as vibrant although it liked the cool rainy days. I will definitely grow this again in the fall and probably thereafter.
19 out of 19 people found the following review helpful:
This lettuce shares an 8x4 raised bed with the Lollo Rosa lettuce. I start harvesting the lettuce before it reaches maturity and it keeps giving from November through April in our hot desert. The yield is abundant. It tastes wonderful and make a beautiful looking salad. We use little or no dressing, it tastes that good.

There is a whole lot of chord movement in this one, which will make the song a challenge for beginner guitarists. Your best bet wil be listening to recordings of the song until you're intimately familiar with the melody and where the chords change. Then try playing the above, using your ear to guide when to change chords. You're going to need to practice this one in advance of playing it in public. The strumming, thankfully, is easy - all slow down-strums.

Joshua Then and Now is a 1985 film and a TV mini-series, adapted by Mordecai Richler from his semi-autobiographical novel Joshua Then and Now. James Woods starred as the adult Joshua, Gabrielle Lazure as his wife, and Alan Arkin as Joshua's father. It was directed by Ted Kotcheff who had previously directed Richler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz.
The film depicts Joshua growing up in his Montreal neighborhood, and then his adventures as a modestly successful writer. He marries the "golden shiksa" of his dreams, but eventually everything around him crumbles and he must act quickly to recover it all. A comedic drama, the film moves quickly without lingering for long on any incident and tells a connected complete narrative. Alan Arkin is frequently noted in reviews for an outstanding performance.
The cast included Michael Sarrazin as Kevin Hornby (Pauline's brother), Robert Joy as Colin Fraser (Pauline's first husband), Linda Sorenson as Esther Shapiro (Joshua's mother), Alan Scarfe as Jack Trimble, Ken Campbell as Sidney Murdoch, Kate Trotter as Jane Trimble, Alexander Knox as Senator Hornby, and Eric Kimmel as young Joshua. Filmed on location in Montreal, London, Brockville, and Ottawa. Rated R. It has been transcribed to VHS (1986) and DVD.
Joshua Shapiro, successful writer and pundit, in a hospital room, seems to have lost his wife and is in the middle of a sex scandal. Compelled to find meaning in his life, he reviews it from his youth to the present day.
Joshua grew up as a Jew in the working class St. Urbain Street area in Montreal. His upbringing was unusual because his father was a boxer who had become a gentle crook and his mother was a strip-tease dancer. Embarrassingly, she strips for his friends as part of a Bar Mitzvah party for him. Joshua's father is revealed to have a unique perspective on life, sex, and religion.
A trip to Spain as a young man is the impetus that sparks a career as a journalist and writer. In England in a momentary lapse of reason, Joshua forges letters about a (fake) homosexual affair with a British writer to sell to an American university archive. He meets an upper-class Canadian married to a poseur of a communist and steals her away to become his own wife. She is the daughter of a Canadian senator and Joshua's key into a level of society of which he is contemptuous.
In the meantime, Joshua's childhood friends have become successful in their own right. Some become targets for bizarre pranks as he settles various scores.
Joshua's conceited brother-in-law assumes a pivotal role in the novel as it is revealed that he is insecure and vulnerable. Neighbors in the wealthy cottage community around Lake Memphremagog lead him astray with dreadful consequences. Past indiscretions rear their ugly heads and Joshua must put together the shambles of his life.

This debate is a philosophical one. Surely, therefore, philosophy cannot be dead. Philosophy, as a discipline rather than an innate, passive human activity, will die when nobody mourns its death. When the assertion that philosophy is dead ceases to be inflammatory, philosophy will be on its deathbed. When philosophy, as an overt activity, slips into oblivion without mention, it will be dead. This will occur when all human thought is homogeneous and dangerously certain, or unnecessary and passively apathetic. Paradoxically, therefore, Hawking's statement reaffirms the relevance of philosophy, and these ardent responses reaffirm its good health.

Philosophy & Science
Philosophy Philosophy & Science
Philosophy precedes everything in life, it is directly connected to consciousness, regardless of what they are saying about consciousness, it is the generating power of science, it is the kitchen that thoughts and ideas and recipes take place, it is the stimulated media for science, without philosophy we can't start hypothesis, we can't predict a theory, we can't imagine deeply.
It is the wisdoms, without wisdoms we are in illusion.
in fact, philosophy is the sign for the path of science
hub71 on 19/10/2015 6:38pm
not a great example of the great stuff found on this site. wolpert's argument is absurd, ill-informed and kind of pathetic. quite apart from any other consideration, hawking's feelings toward philosophy are not intrisnsically a valid subject for a serious debate merely because he is a distinguished physicist, any more than his feelings on plumbing. hawking is a great physicist, and that he has achieved what he has is all the more remarkable because of those impediments. but wolpert here is no more than a tethered goat and the debate is itself an empty one. if he wants to be an idiot, he has that right.
one very minor thing of course is that science itself has emerged from philosophy. that is as i see it the function of the inquiry, ie what is there? what is it like? how does it function? and so on. in other words, the unfortunate and misguided wolpert does seem to have forgotten who the undisputed progenitor of the scientific method was, namely the philospher aristotle.
JRDAGO on 17/10/2015 7:55pm
Philosophy x Science
If scientific results wouldn't be massively supported by the commercial world in order to be archived new technologies maybe some other philosophical ways to look into science would be choices without our concerns. That means eventually without our philosophical way for looking into our lives, science could be just one more idealistic renounce.
Possibly there are some natural connections between these two subjects that need to be looked through other aspect, because a third way to get into human analysis is a psychological one and it may provide some balance about our decisions. So, eventually one subject can't survive without the other.
Philosophy may be necessary for our day by day life, but we don't notice well its presence in our minds. But in other hand sciences, if it wouldn't be part of our philosophical way to care about our lives, it might not trigger any attention. This effetely can be well notice when we look modern objects in windows or shelves from a store and then they eventually mean nothing for us as observers.
Perhaps at the end without the observers science would be just an unveiled subject and as well without philosophy there wouldn't exist observers.
Jaakko on 05/07/2015 8:13pm
Wolpert: "I have never really understood what philosophy has told us that wasn't obvious or trivial."
Good to know, so what are you doing in this panel?
Dzen_o on 03/07/2015 5:40pm
In the IAI a similar article exists now, where practically the same question – how philosophy and science relate to each other - is discussed - http://iai.tv/video/masters-of-the-world?utm_source=Institute+of+Art+and+Ideas&utm_campaign=d0716749e6-IAI+Weekly+Newsletter+15%2F05%2F15&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_33593fe9fa-d0716749e6-46979289
So the Dzen_o comment in this thread seems as relates to this article also.
lewmay on 29/04/2015 10:05am
A very interesting debate. Philosophy plays around with science using speculation. Results provide us with 'soft science'. At first a mild influence.Over time destructive. Science stone wall players provide the soft science members the play time they seek. Progress suffers. Looking back on my metaphysical days I find wasted effort abounds.
Christopher Gillon on 06/03/2015 10:12pm
I agree with both sides. Normally, I would consider myself as more appreciative of Philosophy, but Lewis hit on a very good point, that Philosophy is 'common sense'. This is a tremendous hang-up within the Philosophical community: 'Why study philosophy'? Philosopher, Alan Watts once relayed the story of a Zen Master who was presented with a novel by his serving Monk, the Monk hoped to inspire Zen philosophy in the readers via literature. The Master shook his head and said: ''The sound of the rain needs no translation''. And it's absolutely right. You will find there are many 'anti-philosophies' that pride themselves in paradox - such as Zen Buddhism - as a means to quiet the mind and attain perpetual clarity.
So, Lewis is quite right. Once one has established common-sense, the Scientific method can proceed unhindered. But it is important to make sure that we all hold on to this 'common sense' he speaks of.
Phillip Griffin on 01/03/2015 6:10pm
This 'scientist' reeks of the dogmatism that haunts much of our scholarship. Maybe if he did some philosophy he'd be able to follow the arguments of the other dudes--for now, their language goes right over his head. Perhaps they could instead get a younger, hipper scientist who isn't afraid to reach across disciplines--but then, there wouldn't be much of a debate, would there?
thebaddestvlad on 02/01/2015 2:52am
i think the panelists representing philosophy were ill prepared for this debate.
mebigguy on 20/12/2014 5:00am
I think that we have something to fear from AI. Computers will become smarter than people ( seems very likely anyway) in a few decades and where will that leave us?
jimpliciter on 16/12/2014 5:14am
Hawking has recently expressed his concern that we have something to fear from AI. If he had any familiarity with the likes of Searle, Dreyfus, Noe, Lanier et al. he'd know he was 'pulling his own chain'. Best he sticks to mathematical models of black holes.
AvProtestant on 12/09/2014 2:23am
Listening to Wolpert I'm reminded of what J S Mill said of Jeremy Bentham:
"[He] failed in deriving light from other minds. His writings contain few traces of the accurate knowledge of any schools of thinking but his own; and many proofs of his entire conviction that they could teach him nothing worth knowing."
Sophist on 19/08/2014 3:49am
Hawking's 3 counts of fallacies in the tube below
gmgauthier on 18/08/2014 9:20pm
Wolpert is absolutely right. Science, as a practice, is indeed nothing more than a means by which we can gradually make more and more confident predictions about the actual behavior of reality. And this pursuit is purely ethics free.
But rather than this point suggesting the death of philosophy, instead it actually requires it.
Sadly, however, philosophers have done more to destroy their own profession, than any scientist ever has. Instead of taking up the yoke of honestly trying to solve the riddle of a coherent secular ethic, they're busy denying that any such thing as normative truth is even possible, while simultaneously glad-handing with anachronisms like theist apologists.
John Jones on 30/07/2014 10:08am
It's really quite simple.
Hawking is saying that mind is created by objects because objects are plainly obvious. Objects are the only things that are plainly obvious. No justification for the plainly obvious is ever needed. So philosophy is never needed.
Sophist on 25/07/2014 8:34pm
the only way for how physics should study the mind:
Audeliz Irizarry on 21/07/2014 11:11pm
and lastly: John Conway is Hawking's best on the mind, besides his admiration for Descartes' ghost, either heroes of his can be challenged, "if you are going to talk about the mind, how do theories from Rutherford, Eisntein, Newton, Bohr, Planck, Maxwell, and whomever else matters, fit in with your perspective for a theory on the mind influenced by Conway and Descartes? it better compel..." this alone will give Hawking the problem, demanding his resposibility for what he says without imposing on philosophy.
thank you for reading, hope to interest all on platonics for a manner of philosophy that philosophizes from current facts.
Audeliz Irizarry on 21/07/2014 11:01pm
"Don't just juxtapose physics on the mind... tell me the theory of the physics for a mind or show me the nature making the mind," that is Hawking's weakness, which is the main point in the youtube of 'Stephen Hawking Failed to Study Philosohy for the Meaning of Life,'
"for who may want to be philosophers in Hawking's face, you can't excuse yourself from where the likes of Hawking want to hit philosophy hard to kill it," Hawkings is a physicists, and the mind is a jewel theory worth a lot for fame, which he wants, if you tell Hawkings, "Well, we also do ethics, aesthetics, politics..." you might as well them him, "and we also do parties making interesting questions with balloon animals."
Audeliz Irizarry on 21/07/2014 3:34am
in other words, the best manuever to take on Hawking is to synthesize philosophy with physics as the clip proposes is the most probable way to do so, which either produces what Hawking thinks is impossible for philosophy to advance, or show for both philosophy and physics the absurdity of such an endeavor
Audeliz Irizarry on 21/07/2014 3:31am
the talking heads, except the representative for science on the far right, are far from arguing where Hawking hits philosophy the hardest for owning studies on the mind, so the clip hits Hawking in where he came to serve physics over philosophy, but came in short in with physics for the mind... since Hawking proves no understanding for making the mind his business with the physics he knows about... so he proves no gaining on philosophy for it to be dead... if you're a renowned physicists, you must show how you can integrate one discipline with another you want to own, otherwise the next thing Hawking will attack is making cupcakes solely a physicists business, just because he knows the physics of heating, viscosities and whatnot. Look out Betty Crocker!
Jordon Flato on 25/06/2014 10:20pm
I'm befuddled how Mr. Wolpert can claim that Philosophy has accomplished nothing, and yet later in the debate admit that he doesn't know what philosophy is?
Brian Coyle on 04/11/2013 8:30am
Wolpert's pitch is silly. Einstein insisted his work was deeply philosophical. Philosophers like Quine helped define today's genomics and computer science. Philosophers of science like C.S. Pierce, Popper, and Lakatos provide sciences with benchmarks. Science used to be satisfied with deduction and induction. No more, and to make sense scientists need philosophy of science constructs. Of course, as Keynes said, those who say they follow no philosophy are just following an old debunked one.
Nagarjun Roy on 07/09/2013 2:28pm
Ok I am very mad at the moment after reading some provocative statements by a prominent physicist and I personally think science should tone down the authoritarian voice and start doing whatever they are good at (like collecting facts).
So science tells us that 70% of our universe is made up of dark energy (remaining 30% = 26% dark matter and only 4% ordinary matter). We don't know what it is neither we can detect it through scientific experiments. From all the evidence and astronomical sightings we can tell it is there.
To put it into perspective, it is like living on the surface of the earth and not knowing what water is. We are like a lizard in the Atacama desert. Even the lizard has more understanding of water than we have of Dark Energy. This is the realm of Philosophy and Spirituality. Beyond science and surely beyond our senses and common logic.
It is not about knowing it all but it is all about being aware. Hopefully one day fundamental science will catch up with the bigger ideas ;-) to me, awareness and wisdom is not about collecting and making a pile of facts (like science does) but trying to make a complete understanding out of whatever knowledge we already have. Of course we should try to gather facts but we should always emphasize on making a complete understanding from whatever facts we have already gathered.
A famous quote
"The more we learn about the world, and the deeper our learning, the more conscious, specific, and articulate will be our knowledge of what we do not know; our knowledge of our ignorance. For this indeed, is the main source of our ignorance - the fact that our knowledge can be only finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite."
-Karl Popper
Why would (Stephen Hawking) one of the most intelligent humans alive say such provocative things like "philosophy is dead" and "Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics."
According to Hawking, the conversation about the truth of the world rests in the hands of elite physics professors funded by multinational corporations and national governments.
After all these fundings and use of such brilliant minds the best theory they came up with is Multiverse (a sea of infinite universes). If there are an infinite number of universes with different laws governing each one of them, then one of them will definately have Harry Potter in it. I think it takes a lot less faith to believe that the world was created in 7 days.
I personally think just like religion should not interfere with science, science itself should not intefere with subjects like theology, spirituality and philosophy and make provocative comments to grab attention.
Another famous quote
"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe – a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must seem humble".
- Albert Einstein
Besides we all know Philosophy > Science. As a human being we are philosophers first and then some of us decide to or forced to damage our brains beyond repair and become scientists. To me it is almost equally wrong to name a bunch of people astronauts, put them in a tight compartment, name it a space shuttle, fill it up with highly explosive rocket fuel, light it up and then sit in the ground control fingers crossed in the name of science compared to sending a man strapped with a bomb to his chest in the name of Jihad.
Philosophy is more basic to human being or shall I say life. Each one of us at some point of our life looked up to the night sky and wondered about the universe. Maybe we came up with an understanding from whatever knowledge we had. Right or wrong doesn't really matter. The understanding can change as our knowledge increases but how many of us actually think that we can control and predict the universe by some mathematical laws. Unless you are a super control freak and put a lot more faith on Mathematics than a religious person puts in his God, it is highly unlikely that you can be a successful scientist.
Most importantly we should always have an open mind and ready to accept whatever the truth is. Making provocative comments and insulting each other is not going to help. When it comes from such a prominent scientist I think it is even more shameful.
If the truth is God you have to accept God and if the truth is Harry Potter then you have to accept Harry Potter. There is nothing you can do about it.
A final quote
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
- Sherlock Holmes
Kswanwick2 on 30/01/2013 9:09pm
I was disappointed by this debate. There was not enough discussion of the pure context of Hawkings' statement. More importantly the panelists arguing the "for" points missed the broad side of a barn by failing to adequately discuss or even shortly dwell on the fields of moral philosophy and political philosophy. The nature of governments, economies, political systems and the corresponding ethical and legal systems are derived directly from philosophy and would not exist in a coherent way without it. How would one argue that these very things came from science or that they could have? What kinds of questions ask for the definitions of humanity and its purpose(s)? Are these derived from science and not philosophy? Were the Twelve Tables of Rome, Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights based on science or philosophy? What does science say about how we should organize society and meet individual and collective needs and why? Philosophy has a lot to say about these things and a systematic, logical way of doing so.
How to decide what is important and why? The philosophical sub-fields of epistemology, ethics and morality were hardly addressed. How could one let the good scientist dismiss the philosophy of science with the wave of a hand without discussing Karl Popper and his very specific critiques of empiricism and his development of this important field of inquiry and its application to human affairs?
Lastly, how could this conversation be had without delving into the "why" questions? What ought a person, a people do and why? What are the justifications for these decisions? Two Brits on the panel and not one could cite the landmark work of Philosopher and Ethicist Derek Parfit (Reasons and Persons, On What Matters), who has exhaustively and rigorously argued his points and others' counterpoints back to Kant and going forward to include Sidgewick, Rawls, Williams, MacIntyre, Scanlon and other important contributors? It seems difficult to dismiss these works and maintain a coherent view of a world that just happens without influence (positive and negative) of philosophy.
Perhaps Hawking is right, but only to the extent that he has not been challenged by the right minds outside of pure science.
I would like to hear Dr. Wolpert address the problem of Goedel's Incompleteness Theorems. These were derived through the pure application of logic (and intuition) within the discipline of philosophy, yet they stand as true as the sky is blue (accounting for Rayleigh Scattering)
Steve Green on 26/01/2013 7:15pm
Chistopher Norris published a rather pointed rebuttal to Steven Hawking a few months back, here: http://philosophynow.org/issues/82/Hawking_contra_Philosophy. Much better than Fuller's ramblings.

Philosophy (literally) means love for wisdom, or the seeking of wisdom. This art is not opposed but apposite to science; as has been demonstrated by the ancients from Aristotle to Pythagoras. Man's grasp of science is but yet in infancy and to suggest his puny knowledge a replacement for considered hypothesis of indefinite concepts is as facile as suggesting aspirin removes the need of heart surgery.
From science, we learn how things work. From philosophy, we learn why they work........
.........but here, we have well-known folk debating which end of the egg should first be opened, further to Professor Hawking having speciously suggested the egg is of no value..

I remember reading somewhere that the tradition of the Great Lent originated from the act of compassion of members of early Christian communities. Since the very first years of Christianity, there was a custom to baptize new converts on Pascha. Before their baptism, they had to fast. Other people in congregations, those who had already been baptized, decided that they should support the new members and fast, too.

When performing a tar on a bz2 compressed file I am encountering the following error,
tar: dump.sql: File shrank by 19573448400 bytes; padding with zeros
Can anyone point what might be causing this issue ?
It's not an error. It's INFO.
I'm willing to bet you're compressing/decompressing a Virtual Machine image, or otherwise sparsely-allocated file.
Bzip2 has detected that the file is mostly zeroes, and compressed it so that they're not there in the compressed file.
This is the difference between actual size and apparent size of sparse files.

Vt. lawmakers drop campaign finance reformMay 14,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — Another effort to reduce the influence of money in politics appears to have fallen by the wayside, as Vermont lawmakers prepare to finish up their business for the year.
House and Senate conferees have been unable to agree on provisions of the campaign finance bill, particularly a House-passed provision that seeks to limit contributions to so-called super-PACS to $5,000.
Lawmakers could address the measure when they return in January, but it's doubtful they would put changes in place to affect the 2014 election year.
Meanwhile, conferees on a tax package are still arguing over several provisions, including whether to allow a moratorium to expire on applying the sales tax to software obtained from the Internet — the so-called cloud tax.MORE IN This Just In

A decision concerning former Dothan Police officer RaeMonica Carney's termination will not be made today.
Thursday's hearing still has to be transcribed. At that point, the personnel board will make a decision. This process could take several weeks.
Carney's attorney is asking for her job to be restored with back pay, benefits, and to restore her good standing in the community. If her termination is upheld, she can appeal, once again, to circuit court.
Carney was fired on December 16th for "gross insubordination".
She is accused of blocking her fiancé's, Kenneth Cloyd, car in her driveway with her patrol car during a domestic dispute.
Cloyd called police during the argument.
Multiple police officers testified at Thursday's appeal hearing that Carney refused direct orders to move the car.
Carney said she was never asked to move the car.
Her attorney, Sonya Edwards, argued the department's handbook didn't fully lay out the differences between insubordination and gross insubordination.
Carney also claims police were not interested in her side of the story. She said the department was looking for a reason to fire her.
Carney was also suspended in March 2013 for 10 days for violating the department's social media policy. The suspension was upheld by Circuit Court Judge Butch Binford in January.
Carney and Cloyd are now married living in Kentucky.

I was trying to test the performance difference between inserting into a table directly versus inserting into a view in a different database which points to the table. I was shocked to see that a WHILE loop with 10,000 inserts into a simple table took 3 seconds but against the view it took 30 seconds.
As I investigated, I found that if I switched windows in SSMS the view performance was the same as that of the table as I thought it should have been. I then switched DBs in the view window to the table DB and inserted there and it was slow when going directly against the table.
This pointed me to the idea that there was some difference in the connections. These were different tabs in SSMS, one created from the other with -N. I didn't issue any SET commands other than SET NOCOUNT ON (in both windows) and all statistics, query plans, etc. were turned off.
When I ran SQL Profiler to look at the connections, they had identical settings. The performance difference was 100% consistent though.
I checked that there were no transactions open in either connection.
I tried opening another instance of SSMS and I cannot duplicate the slow performance (although it is happening in two out of three of my tabs in the first instance of SSMS).
This is all on a local server. I'm going to need to shut it down in about an hour and I don't know if I can reproduce this problem, so hopefully I can get some suggestions before then :)
Any other ideas on what the difference might be?

'Everest' Unleashes a New Trailer
Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes and Jake Gyllenhaal star in the action thriller inspired by the 1996 Mount Everest disaster.
Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes and Jake Gyllenhaal star in the action thriller inspired by the 1996 Mount Everest disaster.
The action thriller is inspired by the true story of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster that claimed the lives of several climbers.
The stars and director of the new comedy drama discuss bringing Elmore Leonard's 1978 novel The Switch to the screen,
Screening an unfinished version of Lincoln this week at the New York Film Festival, director Steven Spielberg revealed a rather dry historical drama whose strength lies in the performances of star Daniel Day-Lewis and much of the ensemble cast.
Oscar nominee John Hawkes says he passed on the role of the villainous Governor on AMC's The Walking Dead because he didn't feel he was right for the part, and "I have to be careful of what TV shows I choose, particularly ones that have commercials in them, because it's going to be a different kind of television show."
A representative for John Hawkes has shot down the rumor that the Oscar-nominated co-star of Winter's Bone will play the villainous Governor on AMC's The Walking Dead.
Elmore Leonard's Jackie Brown prequel The Switch will be adapted by director Dan Schechter, with John Hawkes and Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) attached to star.
With Martha Marcy May Marlene, first-time director Sean Durkin leads audiences on an engrossing, disturbing and dream-like journey into the world inside, and beyond, a cult.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tommy Lee Jones and a number of other noted actors are officially confirmed to be joining the cast of Steven Spielberg's planned 2012 biopic Lincoln.

Since Saturday there has been a massive denial of service attack on my site. Apparently, at least according to my excellent and ever-watchful ISP, the weakness has been plugins that use Ajax. So much so that I've had to deactivate a number of plugins that use Ajax which is a real drag.
This from my ISP:
Someone's been using a botnet of some sort to try and brute force the
password on your wp-login.php url. I've put apache authentication in front of this now and you should be able to get in with the password you use for the /awstats url. Let us know if this creates any problems.
And then this:
They are going after this url as well.
"POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/1.1"
I've put the second auth in front of /wp-admin/ as well now.
And then this:
To stop the attack from causing trouble, one of the things we blocked was the ajax call mechanism, that allows for interactive calls to the site. If the related post plugins work by making internal http requests to the site, asking for that content, that could well be the cause.
Am I alone in this?

This paper deals with the problem of exponential stability for a class of discrete-time recurrent neural networks with time-varying delay by employing an improved free-weighting matrix approach. The relationship among the time-varying delay, its upper bound and their difference is taken into account. As a result, a new and less conservative delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained without ignoring any useful terms on the difference of a Lyapunov function, which is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

Zoe Saldana
Zoe Saldana in MOTHER Looker Ankle Fray in Last Chance Saloon
Zoe Sandana loaded her groceries into her car after doing some shopping at Whole Foods in Sherman Oaks, California a couple of days ago.
Zoe was wearing MOTHER's Looker Ankle Fray in Last Chance Saloon with a raglan tee and some espadrilles for the shopping trip. This is a really simple and easy denim look for running errands like this, it looks so comfortable.
These jeans have a raw hem to them and it's quite interesting to see them cuffed like this. I'm not usually a fan of cuffing jeans with frayed edges as it makes the loose threads sit awkwardly. I do love the wash and style of these jeans though. What do you think of the way Zoe turned these up? You can buy MOTHER online at Shopbop.com.

Zoe Saldana in Citizens of Humanity Avedon Skinny Ankle in Modern Love
Zoe Saldana was all smiles as she arrived at the Reinventing Social Entertainment panel in New York. The actress wore a pair of the Citizens of Humanity Avedon Skinny Ankle in Modern Love with some Fiorentini+Baker boots and a silk button front.
There is a casualness to it, yet there is a smartness to this look here at the same time. I find choosing the boots was an amazing choice to go for as it gives a more youthful vibe to the look. It definitely is one of my favorite looks to see on Zoe. You can click here to purchase Citizens of Humanity from SHOPBOP.
Zoe Saldana in MOTHER Cruiser in Graffiti Girl
Zoe Saldana and her husband were photographed after leaving lunch together. While out, Zoe wore a pair of MOTHER Cruiser jeans in Graffiti Girl with a red and white printed blouse and tan flats.
I really like these jeans, especially on Zoe. I think they're a nice change from the skinny jeans we've been seeing her in lately. I would love to see her wear these with a higher pair of shoes or to get them hemmed because they are a bit too long on her. You can buy MOTHER online from Shopbop.com.
Zoe Saldana in STROM Brand Skinny Jeans
Zoe Saldana and her husband were photographed together while shopping for toys at a local toy store. Zoe wore a pair of STROM Brand skinny jeans with a graphic print t shirt and Rag & Bone booties.
We just saw Zoe out in a pair of STROM Brand skinny jeans a couple of weeks ago. It looks like this is one of her new go to brands and it is always nice to see her mix it up when it comes to denim! Are you a fan of the brand?

Great little GPS,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin zumo 220 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Motorcycle GPS Navigator (Wireless Phone Accessory)
A big change compared to my older motorcycle Garmin navigator. This one fits really in a pocket. I really like the included CD that lets you install and plan routes on the PC first and then upload to the GPS. Especially for motorcycles this is a must, I think. It's not about going from A to B as fast as possible, you need a scenic route. The only way to get that done properly is plan something ahead.
The only thing that is a little hassle is that the power connection is a mini-USB plug, so if you make a pitstop in a coffee shop, it's not a "click"-released thingy. Also need to unplug that cable. But it is a minor issue.

CBR TV spoke with Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the co-creators and executive producers of ABC's new hit series "Once Upon A Time," about the similarities and differences between their new series and Bill Willingham's Vertigo title "Fables," their understanding and appreciation of fan reaction to the series and their hope to engender a similar sense of enjoyment in fans of the new television show.
The duo weigh in on their thoughts on why Hollywood is currently seeing such a large resurgence and reinvention of Grimm's Fairy Tales and fantasy in general, the recent ability of television shows to translate the fantastic worlds of shows like "Once" and "Game of Thrones" to the screen, the pair's long and short-term plans for the show and possible comic book plans – once they get over their intimidation of the medium.
"Fables"?u00a0 Oh, you mean the comic book that ripped off "The Charmings"??u00a0u00a0 ;^)nnhttp://youtu.be/sRLYJHUeoFE
Were these two separated at birth?u00a0 Or are they alternate reality versions of each other??

Hey, I'm Natasha!
London, United Kingdom · Member since March 2011
I am a 34 year old fan of travel and foreign cultures!
I am currently at the Anna Freud Centre in London studying postgraduate Developmental Psychology but have spent many years moving around and have lived in Oxford, Bath, Brazil and Barbados since I first moved away from London.
I have worked extensively with young children as well as in a number of roles in the Arts (which I studied when out of school).
I love travelling and new adventures but also home comforts and time with friends and family.
When there's time left in my week I do a lot of dance and am an amateur photographer.

AbstractABSTRACT: This proposal describes an analytical software approach to model rolling element bearings for gas turbines and similar drive systems. Detailed approaches for modeling bearing material fatigue life, oil churning, and tribology are presented. The resulting analytical bearing code will enable gas turbine engineers and designers to better assess engine lubrication system thermal loads and size bearings for adequate life early in the engine design process. The proposal contains a plan to commercialize the bearing analytical code for gas turbine engines. BENEFIT: Improved analytical software will reduce design issues in development and provide more reliable engines in production. The software will also be beneficial to other high end bearing applications such as rocket turbopumps and satellites.
