This video was my first introduction to the Residents, and I couldn't stop
playing it for the past three days. The visuals are dynamite and more
inventive and technically complex than any I have ever seen on the big
screen or small.
The DVD loses points, however, for the pointless addition of new music. The original Residents music is unlike anything else you've ever heard, and will really tweak your brain in the best possible way. The new music however is uniformly uninteresting and in most cases is rather bad in comparison to some of the classic tracks. Also, the uncompleted Vileness Fats video feels VERY incomplete, and I could only fathom the plot of the story from extensive reading of the notes on the disc.
Speaking of notes on the disc, this DVD features lots of cool easter eggs that will probably appeal to long-time fans of the Residents. Hint: look for icons on the notes pages that shouldn't be there.
From a technical standpoint, the disc is one of the best DVD transfers available. There is virtually no observable pixelization, and only a little edginess in strong contrast points.
Kudos for a top notch presentation. This disc really deserves your attention.

Some units of Samsung's latest flagship phone, the Galaxy S5, are shipping with faulty cameras.
Many users, especially those with the Verizon version of the phone, have been complaining about a "camera failure" error message when they try to launch the camera app. Samsung confirmed the error in a statement to The Verge and said customers can trade in their faulty devices for a new one.
The news comes on the same day that Samsung released a new ad for the Galaxy S5 that boasts how its camera is better than the one in the iPhone.
The Galaxy S5's camera is really good when it works, though. In fact, it was one of our favorite features in the device when we reviewed it a few weeks ago. It's easily one of the best smartphone cameras ever designed.

Australian golfer Jake Higginbottom has broken a 56-year
drought to become the first amateur to win the New Zealand
Open since Harry Berwick triumphed in 1956.
The 19-year-old Higginbottom fired a five-under 67 at
Clearwater today to finish at seven-under as he banked a
one-shot win over compatriots Peter Wilson and Jason Norris
who shared second place.
Kiwi Mark Brown, who held a three-shot lead heading into the
final round, faded down the back nine as he shot a one-over
73 to finish fourth.
The next best New Zealander in the field was Richard Lee, who
quietly crept up the standings with a three-under 69 today,
to finish fifth at three-under.
Mahal Pearce and Michael Hendry were the best-placed Kiwis
after Lee as they finished in a share of 10th at even par.
Conditions were ideal for the most of the day as the wind
never got up as some forecasts suggested it would.
Only nine golfers finished under the card for the tournament
that had a purse of AUS$400,000 (NZD $508,038) with a
winner's cheque of NZD $91,447 that Higginbottom isn't
eligible to collect due to his amateur status.
Norris and Wilson will split the prize money for first and
second place.

I wanted to know if there was a way to pull all of the comments made using it back to the application page on Facebook (or a Facebook brand page)? Also if there is a way to grab an RSS of all of the Facebook comments (for a sparate task).

"Maceio" Top 5 Page for this destination Maceió by worldcam
Maceió Travel Guide: 36 reviews and 82 photos
My wife & I just returned from Maceio - a great place to stage from to head north and south to visit the stunning beaches around the area. The rainy season begins in the middle of May - so we just made it before the rains put a damper on those visiting expecting to have wonderful weather for the beaches. Keep in mind, however, that if you travel north and south out of Maceio it is quite likely the weather is completely different than what you may wake up to in Maceio! So, don't be sad if it is cloudy when you wake up -- it's likely to be wonderful outside of the city!
South of Maceio is Praia Frances - a great beach to visit. It does, however, get very crowded on the weekends. As with any Brazillian beach there are beach restaurants where you can stay for the day and have lunch & beer & caiperinhas.
I was in Maceio for a couple of weeks in December 2004 to attend a school to learn Portuguese. Maceio is a great little place. The beaches in Maceio are great as are the beaches to the north and the south. Maceio has a small nightlife, but it does exist and if you are there at the right time of year you will find huge outdoor musical parties that are quite an amazing experience. The town, however, has two faces. There is the tourist face that people see along the coast -- and then just a few blocks from the water and the nice, clean buildings is the "real" town. Apparently 65% of the city is poor -- evident only really outside of the coastal areas of the city.

Gunga -- this a "private beach" south of Maceio. OK, the beach isn't private (that's illegal in Brazil), but the access... more travel advice
We booked the Ponta Verde Hotel via the internet (on GOL's website, actually) after reading reviews. I found the pricing... more travel advice
Comments (1)
Gunga is 33 kilometers from Maceio in the City of Barra de Săo Miguel where small motor boats make the short trip. Exercise caution with thieves when overlook above the beach from the highway is deserted.

Cinema Eye honors Frederick Wiseman film with Legacy Award
With Oscar season so invariably focused on the new and the now, it's refreshing when the occasional awards body casts a look backward to slightly older releases -- though they don't tend to go back 44 years. Trust the conscientious folks behind the Cinema Eye documentary awards to take up that cause with a Legacy Award for classic individual documentaries that, in their view, still carry resonance and influence today. This year's recipient: Frederick Wiseman's 1967 debut feature "Titicut Follies."
I've never had an opportunity to see Wiseman's film, an exposé of the grim conditions at a Massachusetts prison for the criminally insane, but it'd be interesting to see on what note he started his prolific and still-productive career. I'm familiar only with the director's later works, peaking with his staggering Paris ballet study "La Danse." His work of late has been preoccupied with human movement and performance; his latest, "Crazy Horse," about the titular Paris nightclub, continues in that direction. It opens in the US in January, neatly coinciding with the Cinema Eye presentation.
Edited press release after the jump.
New York - The Cinema Eye Honors for Nonfiction Filmmaking today announced that the 2012 Legacy Award will be presented to the landmark 1967 documentary, Titicut Follies, a stark and graphic portrayal of the conditions that existed at the State Prison for the Criminally Insane at Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Filmmaker Frederick Wiseman will accept the award on behalf of the film at this year's Cinema Eye ceremony.
"It's hard for me to believe that Titicut Follies was shot forty-six years ago," said Wiseman. "I'm thrilled to receive the Cinema Eye Legacy Award but it is tough for me to deal with the implications."
The award will be presented on January 11, 2012 at the 5th Annual Cinema Eye Honors ceremony to be held at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, New York. A Stranger Than Fiction screening of Titicut Follies will be held the following week, on January 17, at the IFC Center, on the eve of the opening of Wiseman's latest film, Crazy Horse, which debuts at New York's Film Forum on January 18, before rolling out to theaters nationwide.
"Few filmmakers - in fiction or nonfiction - have created such an enduring body of work that is also, uniquely, their own as Frederick Wiseman," said Cinema Eye's Advisory Chair Andrea Meditch. "The legacy of Titicut Follies stands as a beacon to all of today's filmmakers for its unflinching honesty and the lingering power of John Marshall's camera and Wiseman's editing."
"Titicut Follies is a remarkable film, both for its unwavering look at a failed institution and as the template for the decades of Wiseman films that would follow," said Laura Poitras, the Chair of the Cinema Eye Filmmaker Advisory Board, which voted to give the Legacy Award to Titicut Follies. "As filmmakers, we look to Wiseman as an inspiration and we are honored to salute the debut film of this vital American auteur."
This is the third year that Cinema Eye will present a Legacy Award, intended to honor classic films that inspire a new generation of filmmakers and embody the Cinema Eye mission: excellence in creative and artistic achievements in nonfiction films. The Legacy Award celebrates the entire creative team behind the chosen film. This year marked the first time that Cinema Eye's newly established Filmmaker Advisory Board voted on the recipient of the award. Previous Legacy Awards went to Ross McElwee's Sherman's March and the Maysles Brothers' Grey Gardens.
A limited number of tickets for the 5th Cinema Eye Honors are now available and include a post-ceremony reception. Tickets: $75 public / $50 Museum members. Call 718-777-6800 to reserve tickets or order online at http://www.movingimage.us/visit/calendar/2012/01/11/detail/cinema-eye-honors.

Skip to comments.More Conservatives Mull 08 Bid, But May Lack That Wow Factor
Posted on 12/22/2006 4:55:22 AM PST by shrinkermd
Former Virginia Gov. James Gilmore added his name to the list of GOP White House hopefuls this week, saying the field lacks a real conservative capable of winning...
He brings to seven the number of Republicans who have said they will run or will consider running.
Heretofore the field has been dominated by three moderates: Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and outgoing Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
McCain and Giuliani have topped most polls. Both bested all top Democrats in a recent Rasmussen poll. Giuliani had the best favorability rating 71% vs. McCains 59%.
Neither McCain nor Giuliani excites GOP conservatives, who also question Romneys conversion on abortion and gay rights...
Probably 95%-plus of conservative decision makers, the key people in the Republican nominating process, dont know Gilmore, said Richard Viguerie
Brownback is counting on social conservatives. He won his seat in 1996 vowing to reduce, reform and return reduce the size of government, reform Congress and return to traditional values. Limited-government conservatives say he hasnt done much to reduce or reform. Hes a lot like Bush, said GOP pollster Michael McKenna. He sees a problem and his first inclination is to toss money at it.
Calif. Rep. Duncan Hunter, who headed the House Armed Services Committee, is a defense hawk who has differed with Bush over trade and immigration.
Winning the White House from the House of Representatives is considered a political impossibility. Few congressmen can claim a base big enough to do it
(Excerpt) Read more at epaper.investors.com ...
I will be honest, I had a nightmare I had to vote for the latter two of the three last night. I can't believe I actually dreamed about it, I've not really been thinking about it or anything. It was random. BTW - I woke up sick this morning. I suspect it's telltale why.
I suspect this will be a reoccuring nightmare for many people.
Until I know a little more about Gilmore, I have to say Duncan Hunter is the best of the declared candidates so far; Mitt Romney the best among those who have a decent chance of winning.
Gilmore's pretty conservative across the board, including illegals. He just doesn't froth at the mouth. Lacking a WOW factor? You bet.
Brownback is also so pro-Mexico that if you hit him with a stick, little toys fall out of him.
Message to the GOP from this right winger: So far, it's none of the above!
Put some down-to-earth strong conservative minded candidates out there. Get 'em out there NOW.
Right now if I had to pick one person for President it would be Rick Santorum. If he doesn't run, he better get his ass up to NYS and run for office here. Uh.. please.
Republicans started committing slow suicide when they failed to carry out the promises in the Contract With America.
The fact that McCain, Guiliani, and Romney are the best the GOP can come up with only indicates that the final wrist-slitting is underway.
Were it too happen again, we'll have the nightmare scenario of McCain and Guiliani having the most money out there and the most free coverage on the MSM and all the recognition. It'll be a lesser-of-two-evils primary season.
That would bode well for Hillary.
Neither McCain nor Giuliani excites GOP conservatives...
Au contraire. (kindly excuse the French)
Julie-Annie gets me VERY excited.
Frothing at the mouth, jumping up and down, head spinning on my neck, excited - in that a gun-grabbing, pro homo, pro abortion LIBERAL DEMOCRAT who has the morals of a feral cat would even be allowed to call himself a Republican, let alone be considered as a GOP POTUS nominee.
That sob should be shunned and ostracized. And told in no uncertain terms to go back where he belongs -- the RAT party, from whence he came.
(no offense meant to Feral Cats)
He did.
He's not my ideal, but when you consider the alternative...
I think Duncan Hunter may not have the pretty boy factor, like Mitt Romney, but I really like the Army Ranger, presidential way about him. It's going to be important for the people to look at the candidate and think that is the person you could rely on for your safety. And Hunter is great and witty with what he says. He just cuts right to the issue. After all the complaining about how the GOP sits back and allows themselves to be attacked, Hunter calls the media/Demonrats out on it and that's what I really like about him.
If he can do that, I think he's earned at least second spot on a ticket. Even if he goes on to win the nomination, I think he's smart enough to pick a solid conservative for geographic as well as idealogical balance. Papa Bush was not a great president, but he did a solid job as VP to Reagan.
What I've seen of Duncan Hunter, I really like. He'd solid but doesn't foam at the mouth like Tom Tancredo. I just wonder whether he'll get any traction as a congressman.
Sorry for the typo.
There is an opening for a conservative candidate in the primaries, but it needs to be someone who can rally the troops - by which I mean, most of the Republican Party and the independents. However, Reagan is dead.
As to the 'alternative issue'. I don't prostitute my self, or my vote, so the scare tactic won't work. Ergo I will not vote for a person with whom I disagree with on every issue.
In addition, this nonsensical idea that "Only Rudy Can Save Us", is scary and dangerous. It's Cult Of Personality Worship, period. And the last politician who used that gambit, successfully I might add, was Adolph Hitler.
And I'll be damned if I voluntarily disarm for that s.o.b. and march around saying "Hail Rudy".
Your logic worked pretty well in '06, the demonRATS agree that you should only vote for a purist.
We don't expect conservatives to "prostitute" themselves but if an honest evaluation of the real options is beyond your capability, good luck in your misery, only why make us suffer with you?
No chance. Giuliani is the only one who can win the general election. But Republican conservatives evidently believe that losing is a virtue so they will nonominate a certain loser. And we better get used to "President Clinton" once again. Just ridiculous.
I'm sick and damned tired of the conservative "base" determining the future of this party. When do we grow up and smell the dog crap? We're just giving the presidency away in 2008.
After they crossed the equator, the captain surfaced and the guards went up on deck first with their guns for sharks and then the whole crew went swimming.
They carried out every promise in the contract.
Are you lying or just stupid?
Only? Romney's sole electibility ding is his LDS religion, which will fade as a concern as people become more familiar with the man. Giuliani has a host of negatives (starting with multiple divorces) that will only mount as the Dems/MSM ceaselessly harp
I love Rick, Newt, Rudy and there it ends. Of course, Condi would bring some WOW but doesn't seem to want to go through the pain of running and being destroyed by the Libs. The fact is the WOW is with the Rats. And I fear that WOW will brainwash the braindead to vote for her, it, him.
Jim Gilmore? The one-term Governor of a state that hasn't went D in a Presidential election since 1964 that none-the-less turned the state over to the D's upon leaving office?
No thanks.
Romney is a flip-flopper; even more liberal than Teddy Kennedy when he ran against him for the Senate. That's less important than being divorced?
Even as VA was going red in presidential races, the Democrats have had a long-time stranglehold on the Governor's mansion. The only Republicans to break it recently have been Jim Gilmore and George Allen.
Good for you. I agree completely.
Too bad. Whether you like it or not, it will happen. Get used to it or quit the Republican party.
Evidently you prefer to have socialism imposed on the U.S. then. You're just helping to elect Hillary. You wouldn't happen to be on her team, would you?
Wow isn't a word that I use for any of them - left or right.
My reactions for the current crop tend to be:
"I hope not!"
"I really hope not!"
"What a nightmare!"
"Oh No - that can't be true"
"Is this the best our country/leadership can do?"
I hear that same line virtually verbatim from everyone who believes as you do.
A real conservative can win the Presidency, that just isn't something you want to have happen, which is why you tell people that the Republican's only chance is to elect a social liberal.
That is a lie.
What do you want from a President? More war? The least popular thing people associate with the Republican party right now is Iraq, and the U.S. needs to leave the Middle East entirely ASAP.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Ottawa Senators goaltender Dominik Hasek and New York Rangers right wing Jaromir Jagr highlight a deep, veteran Czech Republic hockey team that was announced Thursday and is expected to challenge Canada for Olympic gold in Turin, Italy in February.
The Czechs won the gold medal in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan -- the first that allowed professional players. Four years ago in Salt Lake City, however, the Czechs fell to Russia in the quarterfinals as Canada went on to win the gold.
Jagr, who leads the NHL with 51 points, and Hasek are among eight players remaining from the Czech lineup in Nagano. Others who won gold in 1998 who were named to the 23-man squad Thursday include forwards Martin Rucinsky and Martin Straka of the New York Rangers, Milan Hejduk of the Colorado Avalanche and Robert Lang of the Detroit Red Wings.
Notable players not named to the team include Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jiri Fischer, who suffered a seizure during a game against the Nashville Predators last month and is out
indefinitely, and New Jersey Devils center Patrik Elias, who is recovering from hepatitis.
The Swedish team appears to be loaded up front, boasting forwards Peter Forsberg of the Philadelphia Flyers, Daniel Alfredsson of the Ottawa Senators, Mats Sundin of the Toronto
Maple Leafs and Markus Naslund of the Vancouver Canucks. Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom and Vancouver's Mattias Ohlund, both of whom have played in two previous Olympics, are the key defensemen on the squad.
Right wing Miroslav Satan of the New York Islanders, who has played in two previous Olympics, is the most veteran member of the Slovakian team, which also appears strong offensively with forward Marian Hossa and Peter Bondra of the Atlanta Thrashers, Marian Gaborik of the Minnesota Wild, Richard Zednik of the Montreal Canadiens, Pavol Demitra of the Los Angeles Kings and Marek Svatos of the Avalanche.
Finland's squad is led by Montreal Canadiens center and captain Saku Koivu, forwards Sami Kapanen of the Flyers and Teemu Selanne of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, and goaltender Kari Lehtonen of the Thrashers.
Miikka Kiprusoff of the Calgary Flames withdrew his name from the team to rest his inflamed hip.
"It is in the best interest of the Calgary Flames that I use this opportunity to ensure I am totally recovered for the NHL playoff drive," Kiprusoff said. "I have always been very proud
to represent my country in international competition and I'm disappointed that I will not be joining them at the Olympics in Italy."
Though apparently lacking offensively, Switzerland will be backstopped by David Aebischer of the Avalanche and Martin Gerber of the Hurricanes, while Latvia will be led by Mighty Ducks defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh and former NHL goaltender Arturs Irbe.

He won the first NHRA national event in which he competed. He has survived at least three explosive and potentially deadly accidents in Top Fuel dragsters. He has finished second in the NHRA championship standings four times but has yet to win a POWERade title. He has won the prestigious U.S. Nationals twice, was the first driver in NHRA history to score an elapsed time in the 4.70-second range (a top speed of more than 320 mph) and finished in the top 10 in his rookie Top Fuel campaign. He has driven for no fewer than six team owners -- including his own family.
Cory McClenathan, undaunted, continues to race ahead.
On Sunday at the 27th Lucas Oil Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, Minn., the 45-year-old veteran drag racer came up short to teammate Tony Schumacher in the Top Fuel final, just missing the 31st event title of his lengthy career. It would have marked his second victory of 2008, but his runner-up finish did move him from fifth to fourth in the POWERade standings.
What really matters to McClenathan is that he has locked up a berth in the Countdown to One following the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in three weeks in Indianapolis and thereby has earned another shot at that elusive world championship that has evaded his grasp since he made his Top Fuel debut in 1991.
"We've had great years, and we've had not-so-great years," said McClenathan, who won Top Alcohol Dragster honors at his first NHRA national event in 1989. "But you have to accept the ups and the downs in this sport if you're going to devote yourself to it. If I thought for one moment that there was no way I could win the championship, I'd find something else to do.
"But whatever that would be, I wouldn't love it as much as what I'm doing right now."
McClenathan's career has been brilliant but not without its price. A devoted father, his racing duties have required long absences from his daughter, Courtney, now 18. Serious racing accidents in 1993 in Rockingham, N.C., in 1999 in Gainesville, Fla., and in 2006 in Bristol, Tenn., could have been career-ending mishaps, but despite the pitfalls, McClenathan -- whose nickname, "Cory Mac," is one of the NHRA's most familiar sobriquets -- remains determined to win Top Fuel's premier prize.
"Driving as a part of Don Schumacher Racing has really given my team a solid chance at a championship," McClenathan said. "When you're with a major league operation such as this one, you can do things the way every racer wishes they could, and that helps you to bring a confident attitude to the job.
"We still have to do our jobs and keep up our end, but that's a lot easier to do when you have the people at DSR backing you."
Despite all the distractions throughout his career, McClenathan proved Sunday he still is a racer to the core and nearly kept five-time champion Schumacher from locking up his 50th career victory in the Brainerd final.
"Cory is a guy who makes our team better just having him racing as a member of our operation," Schumacher said. "That final round could have just as easily gone his way, and we knew we had to be at our best to get that win. We won the race, but DSR was the big winner today with both Cory and I making it to the final round."
Schumacher and McClenathan's Funny Car teammate Jack Beckman almost added to the DSR festivities.
Beckman fouled out in the final round against reigning POWERade champion Tony Pedregon, giving Pedregon his fourth win of the season and nudging him from third to second in the POWERade points. Pedregon is one of four Funny Car drivers who have clinched Countdown to One berths.
"This is the toughest Funny Car era to be racing in," said Pedregon, who beat veteran Jim Head, Melanie Troxel and 14-time world champ John Force to advance to the final. "This is my first win at Brainerd, and I'm really happy to win here. Every round today was a big challenge to me, and the toughest was racing John Force. He's a great competitor, and it was a tough race, like I thought.
"There's never a dull moment racing him. Our car preformed well today, and we had great conditions. I'm just happy to win a race here today and give great entertainment to all these great fans."
Native Minnesotan Kurt Johnson gave those fans something to rock-and-roll about in Pro Stock.
Johnson picked up his third win of 2008 by outrunning Sonoma, Calif., winner Dave Connolly in the final round, 6.671 seconds at 207.05 mph to 6.696/206.29. The win moved KJ to within 56 points of standings leader Greg Anderson and assured Johnson of a strong seed in the upcoming Countdown to One.
"This was a super great day today," said Johnson, who lived in Minnesota for 18 years before relocating to the Atlanta area. "We were a little behind at first and kept working on it, and the car kept getting faster and faster. We had to make some small changes today, but overall, our Chevrolet was pretty flawless.
"We get pumped up to race here with all of our friends and family that come out, and it does add some pressure, but you just have to perform. Once I get inside the car, it's really easy to focus."
However, it's a little tough to focus -- no matter what kind of race vehicle you're aboard -- when you're fighting the effects of kidney stones. Somehow, reigning POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle champion Matt Smith battled through the discomfort of lower back pain all weekend and raced his way to his third event title of '08 when his final-round opponent, Angelle Sampey, lost fire in her Rush Racing Buell while she was staging and couldn't restart.
"To win the race was amazing," said Smith, who beat Jim Underdahl, Craig Treble and David Hope in earlier rounds. "We debuted a brand-new bike this weekend, and it ran great. To be the No. 1 qualifier and win the race, that says it all. It was a really fast bike. We'll get these kidney stones cleared up and be ready for Reading."

I have created a Mental Health Plan so that I am able to make a commitment to monitor and improve my mental health.
Creating a mental health plan has been on my 30 Before 30 since July 2014 and I am glad that I have finally taken the time to create it. If you suffer from mental illness having a plan is a really good document to have. It can be used to monitor your current condition, provide information to professionals (if you want to share it) and allow you to list goals and activities that enable you to help yourself.
I created a custom document that is appropriate to me and could be used by other people who might want something to help them (it can be downloaded at the bottom of the entry). I have broken it into sections that focus on different areas. Such as personal information, carer or emergency contact, health care providers, medical information, current medications, triggers, personal goals, my commitment (where you can list activities you will do that can help you) and a declaration to sign and date.

By Kavanaugh Breazeale, USACEJune 13, 2012
Marksville, Louisiana -- Due to the recent low water conditions on the Red River, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District (Corps), has partnered with the Red River Waterway Commission and the Red River Valley Association in using the contracted vessel, Dredge America to ensure an adequate navigation channel below L.C. Boggs Lock and Dam. As a result, the channel presently has good depths and traffic is moving normally. However, as a safety precaution during these low flows, the channel will be closed during the night / evening hours of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
To address additional dredging needs on the Red River this year, the Corps recently awarded a dredging contract to the Inland Dredge Company, Inc., Dyersburg, Tennessee. The Dredge Integrity will initiate normal annual dredging on the Red River approximately 30 June. The Corps will continue to work closely with the Red River Waterway Commission and the Red River Valley Association concerning all dredging needs on the JBJ Waterway Project.
In addition, repairs to the lower miter gates on L.C. Boggs Lock and Dam are ongoing but will not affect daytime navigation traffic. Repairs are being performed during the night time hours while the channel is closed and are expected to be complete by 22 June 2012.
Adequate funding should be available for dredging on the Red River for FY 2012. However recent budget trends have indicated that future dredging funds will be reduced. The Vicksburg District will continue to work with users of the Red River Waterways to secure funds necessary to keep the waterway navigable at all times.
The J. Bennett Johnston Waterway opened in December 1994 and was the culmination of more than 150 years of effort by local citizens to provide a safe, dependable, navigation system for the Red River. The project consists of a 9-foot deep by 200-foot wide navigation channel that commences at the confluence of Old and Red Rivers and proceeds upstream for 236 miles to the Shreveport-Bossier City area. It holds five navigation locks and can accommodate a standard 6-barge tow and towboat in a single lockage.

All Rise...
Judge P.S. Colbert don't try to understand 'em—he just ropes 'n throws 'n brands 'em.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Rawhide: The Complete First Season (published February 14th, 2007), Rawhide: The Fifth Season (published September 30th, 2012), Rawhide: The Eighth and Final Season (published July 15th, 2014), Rawhide: The Fourth Season, Volume 1 (published June 23rd, 2011), Rawhide: The Fourth Season, Volume Two (published November 9th, 2011), Rawhide: The Second Season, Volume 1 (published August 29th, 2007), Rawhide: The Second Season, Volume 2 (published January 4th, 2008), Rawhide: The Seventh Season, Volume 1 (published March 13th, 2014), Rawhide: The Sixth Season, Volume 1 (published July 15th, 2013), and Rawhide: The Sixth Season, Volume 2 (published July 15th, 2013) are also available.
The Charge
Uh oh—looks like somebody's going into that lime pit…
The Case
The fifteen episodes collected in Rawhide: The Seventh Season, Volume
2 make up a rather schizophrenic lot.
Apparently dissatisfied with the wayward, (guest) character-driven direction Rawhide stories took during the season's first half—often reducing the drovers to background figures and leaving those doggies grazing in the grass, if not in the dust—CBS president William S. Paley demanded the immediate replacement of producers Bruce Geller and Bernard L. Kowalski, while simultaneously issuing an edict to "Put the cows back in!"
Endre Bohem to the rescue! Hungarian-born, Sorbonne-educated Bohem was integral to the establishment of this archetypal TV western, wearing a variety of hats (screenwriter, story editor, associate producer) during seasons one through four. Immediately upon his return, the reinstated helmsman set about getting back to the business of cattle drivers and their moo-ving cargo, starting with the excellent "Texas Fever" episode.
Also back in the saddle are a few old friends: Pete Nolan (Sheb Wooley), Hey Soos (Robert Cabal), and Joe Scarlet (Rocky Shahan), along with stampedes, disease, hostile weather, highwaymen, unfriendly Injuns, poachers—you know, the stuff that keeps herd hauling from seeming like just another office job. Interesting co-workers on temp assignments include guest stars Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (The F.B.I.), playing (very well) against type as a militant zealot in "The Last Order," Billy Gray (Father Knows Best), calling shots during his "Moment In The Sun," and Robert Blake (In Cold Blood), radiating charm and menace as "The Winter Soldier."
But hang on there, Buckaroos! This good ol' boys club gets a healthy infusion of she-power from a pair of Oscar-nominated actresses: Julie Harris (The Member Of The Wedding) provides love interest for Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood, The Unforgiven) in "The Calf Women," while Barbara Barrie (Breaking Away) rouses a strong maternal instinct in Wishbone the cook (Paul Brinegar, How To Make A Monster) as "Mrs. Harmon," a severely battered wife and mother.
Six of these episodes are left-overs from the old guard, and they're scattered among the Bohem productions. Though the Geller/Kowalski regime format changes seemed a bit overwhelming to me when they dominated season seven's first volume set, I found they provided a nice contrast when mixed with the more standard along-the-trail adventures. Truth be told, though: while Rawhide remains prime entertainment. After seven years and over two-hundred weekly installments, this veteran beef opera is clearly skirting its sell-by date.
Speaking of "the Old West," these transfers, while still perfectly serviceable, nevertheless occasionally betray the half century of prairie dust and spur burns that have accumulated since their original airings. The mono sound has held up surprisingly well, but for those whose hearing hasn't, English subtitles are available. Otherwise, the set is bonus feature free.
Rawhide's penultimate season would be the last for trail boss Gil Favor, as actor Eric Fleming opted not to renew his contract. Tragically, he drowned in the Huallaga River on Sept. 28, 1966, while shooting a film on location in Peru. Mr. Fleming was forty-one years old.
The Verdict
Not guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Rawhide: The Seventh Season, Volume 2 a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Andy Moor - Fade To Light (Remixes - Part 2)AVA089 - June 30th, 2014
The second batch of remixes for Andy Moor's 'Fade To Light' is equally as impressive as the first. These two new interpretations were so good that we simply had to share them with you. Connelly's twists a hypnotic theme around the chords, weaving beautiful patterns of sound. Andy Moor's own 'Ecomix' pulls out the main-stage feeling with a new bassline, while still keeping the progressive trance emotion on full tilt.

This one is simply stunning! All your models are beautiful, each in her own, personal way. But this photo is one of the best... simple yet strong. Others here commented on the attractive contrast between shinness of latex and matt mass of black fabrick. It all helps to underline beauty of the model's face.
Well done!
Well done!
Absolutely love this one.
I love the contrast of textures between the soft black of the top and the harsh black shine of the leggings.
Just gorgeous.
Just gorgeous.
Very clever colours. The uniformity of her top and the red of the hair especially gives the feel that the model is a part of the graffiti wall background. And the latex leg reflections really compliment this effect. It is a very good image. Excellent work.
I'm in love.
Very beautiful
ok, nice but.. the same stuff over and over again..
I Love how the latex texture make your model look so great!
Breath taking... why cant we see something like that on the streets? casual-latex
I like latex but it is not the best material to wear everyday. It is either to warm or too cool. :/
I understand how complex could be wearing latex all day... but let me tell you... is really sexy!
Wow stunning image BEAUTIFUL lady and those leggins are to die for.
I like the reflection in the latex, the colours and setting are great. You have a keen eye. Real talent.
I love Starfucked!!!!! wow!
All I want to know is how does one get into those pants?
Great shot, Thanks to you and Starfucked!
The beautiful red hair is such a great contrast to the rest of the image! Lovely photography, I must say!
That's some highly polished latex!
Beautiful! I love the latex pants your red hair
Still not me...
Oh sorry I was actually going to write "I love the latex pants and the read hair" instead of "your read hair" but don't know why I picked the second one ..anyway still a nice photo
I like the graffiti in the background.
the modern urban street ware suits you to a" T"!
StarFucked is incredibly gorgeous
Great attitude in this one!
Great work!
Meow...Dat latex and dat hair and dose eyes. Wowie
There's something about this one I really like.
Alltså du och hon alltså, ni verkar med i någon hemlig klubb där alla är snyggisar som glider runt i latex. Jag visste det.
could be my monitor but the sweater seems to have no textures at all - just a plain black surface...
apart from that: nice!
It is dark, but it does have texture, so might be your screen spooking.
The shine on those legs in juxtaposition to the cotton top is intoxicating! - Great pose
A wonderful woman. Can't stop looking at her.
great pose stunning shot of a stunning model

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is an atmospheric simulation system which is designed for both operational and research use. WRF is currently in operational use at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s national weather service as well as at the air force weather agency and meteorological services worldwide. Getting weather predictions in time using latest advances in atmospheric sciences is a challenge even on the fastest super computers. Timely weather predictions are particularly useful for severe weather events when lives and property are at risk. Microphysics is a crucial but computationally intensive part of WRF. WRF Single Moment 5-class (WSM5) microphysics scheme represents fallout of various types of precipitation, condensation and thermodynamics effects of latent heat release. Therefore, to expedite the computation process, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) appear an attractive alternative to traditional CPU architectures. In this paper, we accelerate the WSM5 microphysics scheme on GPUs and obtain a considerable speedup thereby significantly reducing the processing time. Such high performance and computationally efήcient GPUs allow us to use higher resolution WRF forecasts. The use of high resolution WRF enables us to compute microphysical processes for increasingly small clouds and water droplets. To implement WSM5 scheme on GPUs, the WRF code was rewritten into CUDA C, a high level data-parallel programming language used on NVIDIA GPU. We observed a reduction in processing time from 16928 ms on CPU to 43.5 ms on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We obtained a speedup of 389× without I/O using a single GPU. Taking I/O transfer times into account, the speedup obtained is 206×. The speedup was further increased by using four GPUs, speedup being 1556× and 357× for without I/O and with I/O, respectively.

Image segmentation is fundamental to many image analysis problems. It aims to partition a digital image into a set of nonoverlapping homogeneous regions. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a new segmentation procedure which is designed to segment images corrupted by correlated noise. This new segmentation procedure is based on Rissanen's minimum description length (MDL) principle and consists of two components: 1) an MDL-based criterion in which the "best" segmentation is defined as its minimizer; and 2) a merging algorithm which attempts to locate this minimizer. The performance of this procedure is illustrated via a simulation study, with promising results

- " The Birmingham Central Backpackers is in general a great hostel. Nice atmosphere and good facilities. But the mattress I slept on, was really bad. I could feel every single metal spring in the mattress. I slept better on the bare congrete floor in India and Iran. They sould dispose all these bad spring mattresses for cheap foam ones. Then it was one of the best hostels I have seen in all my travels! "

For a modified Anderson and May model of host parasite dynamics it is shown that infections of different levels of virulence die out asymptotically except those that optimize the basic reproductive rate of the causative parasite. The result holds under the assumption that infection with one strain of parasite precludes additional infections with other strains. Technically, the model includes an environmental carrying capacity for the host. A threshold condition is derived which decides whether or not the parasites persist in the host population.

The flowers at Mill Creek Park have bloomed a month early this year as a result of the extreme warm weather that has persisted in the area this spring and late winter. There could be a price to pay for the early warmth, however. The flowers could wilt and die faster as a result of the early heat.

5:01 pm
grisly scene after grisly scene. a little girl was also run over by a car. >> the mental stress is very intense. you know, as a police officer, we're used to dealing with these types of things but we're dealing with them at such an increased rate, so much more violence, so many attacks on our officers that, you know, it's going to take its toll. >> reporter: officer james gonzales is on the police union board and worries about the mental health of some of his colleagues. >> i started to help police officers with issues like posttraumatic stress disorder. >> dr. greg is a former san jose cop turned psychologist. he worries some officers might hold in their emotions for fear of not moving up the ranks. >> officers have concern that if they allow that to be known, if they are having stress spe rela to ptsd, it may prevent them from getting promotions. >> reporter: one officer told me
5:02 pm
off camera that he thinks some of his colleagues have ptsd but they won't talk about it. there's a program in place to help those officers, officers who are facing tragedy after tragedy. >> there's really nothing that can prepare you for that. >> reporter: tonight at 6:00, why the police union says every police resignation is one more vote of no confidence against the leaders at city hall. here at the home in east san jose, family and friends keep gathering to pay their condolences. i'm damian trujillo. >> thanks, damian. some say the problems may get worse before it gets better. 41 officers have resigned or retired from the force. that's almost as many officers who just graduated from the police academy. the department now only has 913 officers. last year, the former police chief told city council members san jose needs at least 1250 officers to keep the city safe. he's known in the peninsula

has a trusted youth pastor but investigators in florida say otherwise. he was arrested in a prostitution string. let's bring in jodi hernandez from san mateo this evening where some find the arrest hard to believe. jodi? >> reporter: samuel worked here for the past six years, investigators say he traveled to florida last week to attend a youth ministry conference. but now he's accused of trying to set up a sexual encounter with a teenage girl. >> it's a terrible thing. it's really terrible. >> reporter: that's the reaction of church leaders who share space with san mateo's new community mission church whose youth pastor, samuel of san leandro, was arrested last friday in florida, accused of trying to solicit sex with a 14-year-old girl. >> if we had not arrested anybody else in this entire operation, it would have been
5:04 pm
worth all the resources knowing that we got this youth minister arrested who thought he was coming to have sex with a child. >> reporter: he was among 92 people arrested during a four-day prostitution sting. investigators say most of the suspects thought they were going to a polk county hotel to have sex, instead they ended up behind bars. >> for some reason, people think once they get out from their home town, that they are invisible. that they are safe because they don't know anybody and nobody knows them. well, surprise. >> reporter: in san mateo, the pastor of his church didn't want to talk on camera but says he's surprised by the charges. he says he oversees a youth group of about 40 kids and describes him as a good guy. the pastor of western hills, the church located in the same building, doesn't know quite what to make of it.
5:05 pm
>> i know the senior pastor. we all know him and, you know, we are -- our prayers are with them and just -- it's a terrible situation. >> reporter: he posted bail and and was released from jail but will be back in florida to face charges including traveling to meet a minor and offering to commit lewd acts. jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. anxiety and fascination in santa cruz as bystanders watched the trapping of a wayward mountain lion. the lion was spotted by 4:00 a.m. and by 7:00 a.m. he was seen jumping into an aqueduct. 15-foot walls kept him stuck. they first tried to move the male lion into an open space but that failed and, as you can see, they went with plan b. a member of the puma project fired two tranquilizers into the

cat's hip. he will be tagged and returned to the wild so wildlife experts can keep track of him from now on. it's been a tumultuous week for the president. he's battling sefrveral controversies. the president addressed republican criticism of his handling of benghazi and said he's focused on avoiding future attacks with better acting rescue teams. he expressed confidence in attorney general eric holder for secretly getting reporter's phone numbers for security leaks and the irs scandal that targeted tea party groups, president
said he had no idea it was happening. >> the minute i found out about it, my main focus is to make sure that we get the thing fixed. >> later on, president
appointed danny to run the irs while the acting commissioner of
5:07 pm
the irs was forced out. a possible change in the military. lawmakers from both sides of the aisle assembled on capitol hill to renew a new bill that would prevent commanders from handling sex assault cases that involve their subordinates. also, any offense that could result in more than a year in prison would be funneled to independent military prosecutors. also, guilty verdicts could no longer be wiped out by military commanders. this bill comes after a growing number of sex assaults in the military. well, this seems like a great idea but will it be allowed? a bay area solution to revive the grounded blue angels. >> a tech startup has an ambitious way to salvage the fleet week show. scott budman says this is the modern way to raise money. >> janelle, because of the sequester, the blue angels are not flying for show anymore, including for san francisco's fleet week. but something called crowd funding is seeking to bring them
5:08 pm
back and venture capitalists are going to the crowd to raise money. they are trying to raise $650,000 from the public to bring the blue angels back to san francisco for fleet week. now, the typical crowd it project is much smaller. anything that brings potential investors together for a common cause. >> the energy, the communication, the dollars, kind of the natural instinct we have of wanting to be a part of something, it's starting to take off and you want to be a part of it because it's a community taking off. >> but will the blue angels take snauf we spoke to the navy today and they said no. the navy is not permitted to use private funding for activities like this. one note about crowd tilt, unless and until the final goal is reached, nobody is charged any money. for this particular project, it's raised $7,000. but according to the navy, will
5:09 pm
not be able to fully launch. back to you. >> thank you, scott. finally, a few raindrops. everything counts. how much did we pick up? let's ask jeff ranieri? >> not too much. we haven't had many rain days these past couple of months. take a look at the squauth of showers. overall bay totals, trace amounts to .02 of an inch. every drop counts. we're going to see the jet stream push off to the north in the next couple of days. increasing fire danger, lowering humidity and also temperatures warming up. we'll have details on how hot it will go and when the fire danger will be the hottest in the full forecast. still ahead at 5:00, what's behind the slide? a possible cause now for some northern california homes that are slipping away. also -- >> you can make a big change if off large community. and that's what crossfit has.
5:10 pm
>> he's the man behind a fitness fem no, ma'am na but he's not all about himself. what a south bay business owner is doing to leave his i am famp the bay area and the world. look at them kids.

the surviving boston suspect scribbled a boat. he described why he and dzhokhar tsarnaev retaliated. they are accused of planting two bombs that exploded near the marathon finish line on april 15th. the 19-year-old is in a federal pris in massachusetts. sunday's running of the race will be a bit difference from the 100th previous versions. in recent years, sobriety, proper registration and clothing
5:13 pm
were required. those rules are not new but this year they may be better enforced. organizers unveiled an updated safety plan based in part of what was learned from last month's boston marathon bombings. we will actually have our bomb techs on the scene to allow for rapid response to any package and we'll also have canines around and also 16 neighboring agencies have provided regional support. >> specifically, the agencies will have their k-9 units and bomb technicians on hand or on call. north texas is recovering from a wild night of deadly tornadoes. at least ten tornadoes touched down killing six people. seven people are still missing at this hour. the hardest hit area was in granbury, texas, southwest of ft. worth. some of the homes that were destroyed were built by habitat for humanity.
5:14 pm
walls, door, and roofs were ripped off dozens of homes, trees were uprooted and cars were turned upside down. wind speed was up to 200 miles per hour. it's one of the toughest, most intense and most popular fitness programs right now. we're talking about crossfit. >> starting a little over a decade ago, crossfit now bodes more than 6,000 gyms across the country with the idea of getting people in shape. this is one gym owner looking to do even more. let's bring in garvin thomas. >> raj, fair or not, people base their living on being in good physical shape. they think a little too much about themselves at the expense of others. crossfit expert and gym owner puts that notion on it is head and then does some handstand pushups with it. >> let's go. >> this video is just five years old but in the evergrowing world of crossfit, it's now considered
5:15 pm
something from the old days. it's of jason of san jose competing in the final challenge of the second annual crossfit games in 2008. it was a competition jason not only won, it was a competition that changed his life. >> that kind of indicated what i was going to do for a living. >> in the last five years, he's gone from crossfit champion to crossfit businessman, running six gims, including this one in san jose with ten more in the works. >> okay. on your backs, foot is flat. bridge up. >> now, if you're not familiar with crossfit, it can sometimes be as tough to watch and do. workouts are intense and fast-paced. exercises demand not just strong body but a strong will. ask jason or anyone else for that matter at his jim what
5:16 pm
makes crossfit different than other exercise regimes? and they will tell you it's not the exercise. >> good. breathe. >> you see, either in a gym or online, crossfit fans say it's encouragement from the group as a whole that makes her individual success. >> yeah, nice. done! done! >> the biggest difference between crossfit and a conventional j conventional gym model is the community. >> it's such a big deal to jason, it's not all that surprising that he eventually looked beyond the gym to do it. looked all the way to africa, in fact. earlier this year, jason led a group to kenya to oversee the building of two schools and a water system. all paid for with money raised by jason's gym. >> you can make a big change if you have a large community and that's what crossfit has. crossfit has a community and the community is a tight-knit community and that's one of the
5:17 pm
reasons we can do what dwoe. >> in other words, there is strength in numbers, particularly when those numbers have strength. >> as you can imagine, this was their first foret into philanthropy. they are inspired to do more. this time jason said he's going to do more local. he wants to identify local schools that need gym equipment, purchase equipment, install it, and help train people on how to use it. it's one of those things that you get a taste of what it's like to do some good and all you want to do is do some more. >> thank you so much, garvin. >> did you try it, by the way? >> i'm going to go for a run after this. >> i know. i feel so out of shape right now. i do try to go to the gym but enough here, i think i pulled my back the other day doing a little bench pressing. all right. anyway, let's look at the radar. mother nature doing a little bit of lifting for us, helping to at least alleviate some of the drying we've had.
5:18 pm
it wasn't a l but the storm system this morning produced a few showers across the bay area. it's kicked off towards the east and it's not a lot. trace amounts of .02 of an inch. that's nothing when it m comes to rainfall and you're right. picking up .02 and san jose at .01 ly it up onhe first, a look at the forecast. cloud cover continues to increase. we'll keep the clouds through 5:00 a.m. and then gradually what you'll notice for tomorrow is increased sunshine. live sky camera network, this shows an incredible view this afternoon. one of my favorite skycams is down here in san jose. you can see strata cloud cover, cumulus and you'll notice in fremont also some breaks of sunshine and it will be a bit heating up across the east bay into the upper 60s and low 70s.
5:19 pm
tonight, a cloudy day for us. the marine presence and up above in emeryville, the stratus cloud deck near the coastline is cruising right along. yes, expect that cloud cover and fog for tonight in san francisco. so here's a look at what is happening. the cold front that we had this morning, pushing off towards the east, that's going to make way for the stronger region of high pressure that will build off shore the next two to four days. temperatures 20 degrees warmer and potentially dry northerly winds as we head throughout sunday and monday of next week. it may prompt red flag warnings. for tomorrow, as we get off for the morning hours, cloudy skies, east bay, south bay, peninsula, and north bay. all of the counties highlighted here once again you'll start off cloudy. by the afternoon, interior valleys that we're highlighting in yellow, napa, solana, fog at the immediate coastline.
5:20 pm
you might need a light jacket in st. helena with 48. 52 in san jose. daytime highs on friday not going to go too much warmer. 71 in san jose, 69 in palo alto and 68 in santa cruz. upper 60s and low 70s throughout the east bay. 72 in walnut creek and low 70s in san francisco. on the three-day forecast, temperatures are going to warm up back into the 08s inland, 60s at the coastline and increased fire danger by sunday and monday. mainly on monday we'll likely have dry northerly and offshore winds that could prompt the red flag fire warnings. the showers, i got up at 8:00, went to the radar, it was like christmas for me. >> that was nice to see. >> yes. >> jeff was very excited. >> a lot of people are. thanks, jeff. >> you're welcome. still ahead at 5:00, what's in the water? another reason why you don't want to drink swimming pool
5:21 pm
water. the warriors' last chance is tonight at oracle. for our families...
5:22 pm
our neighbors... and our communities... america's beverage companies have created... a wide range of new choices. developing smaller portion sizes and more.. low and no-calorie beverages... adding clear calorie labels so you know... exactly what you're choosing... and in schools, replacing full-calorie soft drinks... with lower-calorie options. with more choices and fewer calories... america's beverage companies are delivering.

geology experts say a water leak is the likely culprit behind a mysterious landslide that has swallowed up homes in lake county. soil in the slide area is saturated with water believed to be caused by undetected water leaks. new cracks are appearing every day, continuing to threaten homes in the lakeside heights subdivision. two homes have been crushed and two others are just barely hanging on. an emergency was declared after the earth suddenly opened up in march forcing the evacuations of seven of the 29 homes. in health matters, remember what your parents always told you? swimmers beware. more than half of public pools
5:24 pm
have fecal matter in the water. don't drink the water. the center for disease control and prevention says the majority of water tested positive for e. coli, a bacteria usually found in feces. bacteria also causes rashes and ear infections. researchers say chlorine doesn't kill germs instantly and it's important not to swallow the pool water. >> good reminder. well, a big price for a big piece of ice today at an auction in switzerland. the bidding for a pair-shaped 101 carat diamond hit a new record. it's being called the winston legacy. the sparkler was auctioned loose. it's not known if the buyers will mount it in a ring or a necklace. something that big should go in a tiara. >> great idea. we're back in a moment. one last chance for the warriors tonight. stay with us.

3. Alexander Pushkin
Wikimedia Commons
Pushkin himself came from an aristocratic background, and was afforded the usual advantages that his status brought in 19th-century Russia. At the age of 15, he was already acknowledged as a precocious talent, and continued to write, even while "working" in a government position in the foreign ministry. However, some of his writing -- notably "Ode to Liberty" -- was considered to have seditious content, and he was exiled by the Tsar, Alexander I.
Despite the fear of revolution, which pervaded absolute monarchies in Europe at the time, Pushkin was invited back into the fold by Alexander's successor, Nicholas I. His beautiful wife, however, attracted many admirers at court, and Pushkin felt repeatedly dishonored. The need to defend his honor led him to duel frequently, and ultimately was responsible for his death. Widely mourned at the time, he was considered an icon by Bolsheviks who saw him as anti-establishment. The colorful and dangerous life he led earns him a place in this list of manly poets.
