All Rise...
Judge Gordon Sullivan is fed up with middle-class life. Sadly, the babysitter ran off without him.
Editor's Note
Our review of Pierrot Le Fou: Criterion Collection, published February 19th, 2008, is also available.
The Charge
"Godard's last frolic before he moved ever further into radical cinema."
Opening Statement
For almost a decade between 1959 and 1969, Jean-Luc Godard was an unstoppable force in international cinema. The decade started with his transition from influential critic to influential director with Breathless and ended with the apocalyptic vision of Weekend, which signaled Godard's commitment to a more radical, more socialist-oriented, more politically motivated cinema than his previous (average) two features per year. As the '60s waned, Godard sank into relative obscurity with a series of radical films that while interesting, never capture the attention of audiences like his early work. It is appropriate, however, that what might be considered Godard's last gasp of respectability and popularity came with the American release of Pierrot Le Fou in 1969 (after, as Andrew Sarris points out in an included essay, much delay) when the film was greeted with much acclaim and public interest. It's appropriate because Pierrot Le Fou finds Godard aiming for the cheap seats combining his love/hate relationship with Hollywood forms, his masterful use of color, and his socialist ideas into a hypnotic package that balances radical notions and audience expectations. Criterion has decided to re-release its previous DVD of Pierrot on Blu-ray and the results are unsurprisingly spectacular.
Facts of the Case
Pierrot/Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Breathless) is fed up with middle-class life and decides to run away with the babysitter, Marianne (Anna Karina, Band of Outsiders), who is wanted by Algerian hitmen. Together, the two travel around getting into scrapes and generally living life as if they were in a movie.
The Evidence
When Godard is finally gone and future generations get to assess his contributions to cinema, I doubt he'll be remembered for questioning "What is cinema?" since practitioners have been doing that since the form was invented. I also doubt he'll be remembered for combining radical politics with cinema either, because that too has been done almost since the moving camera was born. No, Godard's legacy will be his films and the fact that so much of his work is compulsively, almost irresistibly watchable. This is especially ironic given that so many of his films are a reaction against the kind of film that tries to make us forget we're watching a film. No, Godard wants us to be aware for every frame that we are experiencing "cinema," and perhaps that's what makes them so watchable. Even in the parts of Pierrot Le Fou I found boring (and there are a few, where Godard's theory gets ahead of his ability to present it), I never wanted to turn the film off; I had to see what was coming next even though there's very little investment in what most people would consider a compelling "story."
Certainly part of the reason I wanted to keep watching was to see the new ways Godard was going to skewer capitalism or cinema (sometimes both) in each scene. One of the film's highlights is in early dinner party where the guests speak to each other in advertising slogans bathed in monochromatic light, that is until Pierrot encounters Samuel Fuller, the infamous director, who spouts platitudes about cinema instead of advertising, but the link is clear. Another beautiful moment occurs when the lovers-on-the-run encounter a wrecked vehicle which they will use to disguise their own stolen car. When the camera pulls back as the lovers leave the smoldering wrecks, we see that the original crash happened when a car hit a pylon supporting an overpass that's only twenty feet long which doesn't connect anything to anything else. It's a brilliant little dig at car culture (which Godard would extend in Weekend).
Finally, it's hard not to see Pierrot as a semi-sequel to Breathless, assuming that Belmondo's character had survived the first film. I can imagine Michel growing into a life of middle-class dis-ease as Pierrot and finally rebelling by joining up with Marianne. Which is just another way of saying that Godard is perfectly aware of the kind of patterns he can make with his cinema and the cinema of others.
As a bizarrely compelling piece of cinema, Pierrot Le Fou is given the deluxe treatment by Criterion. This Blu-ray is basically a copy of the previous two-disc DVD set. The film itself looks more gorgeous than I would have expected from a forty-five-year-old film, with strong colors and limited grain. Although there is occasionally some flicker, and the film isn't meant to be polished, this is a strong transfer that maximizes the strengths and minimizes the weaknesses of the source. The audio isn't quite as impressive, but for a mono track from the Sixties it sounds reasonably clear and free of distortion or hiss.
For extras we get a pair of featurettes and a bunch of interviews. The interviews include a recent chat with Karina about her experiences with the film and Godard, as well as some archival interviews with Karina, Belmondo, and Godard. For featurettes we're presented with a "video primer" on the film that goes over the techniques of the first part of the film so that the viewer can get acclimated to Godard's style. The other featurette is a 50-minute documentary that covers Godard's life up to Pierrot including some of the details of his life with Karina. The disc finishes off with the film's trailer. As usual, there is a booklet included with essays by Andrew Sarris, Richard Brody, and an interview with Godard.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Although Hollywood has long since assimilated Godard's techniques, his films still remain difficult viewing for many. There is very little emphasis placed on the typical niceties of plot and characterizations, but instead on surface and emotional relationships. Pierrot Le Fou is not a popcorn flick, and it's definitely not for those looking for a relaxing night of movie watching.
Closing Statement
Criterion has done it again, porting one of its typically strong DVD releases to hi-def with everything intact. The only problem is that Criterion did such a good job the first time around that it's hard to recommend an upgrade just for the hi-def video. However, Godard fans who skipped the first release should absolutely check this one out.

Davis on Saints, college teams in 2012
Published: Saturday, July 14, 2012 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 14, 2012 at 8:29 p.m.
Former University of Tennessee defensive back Charles Davis was one of the high profile counselors at the Manning Passing Academy this past weekend at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux.
Davis is a color analyst in both the pro and college football ranks for Fox Sports and works for the NFL Network in its coverage of the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine. He had a teenage son working out at the camp, and Davis said he was thrilled to visit south Louisiana.
"It's great here at Nicholls State, and it's exciting to get to see some of the really top high school players and also to work with the Manning family and the top college quarterbacks in the nation," Davis said. "My son wanted to attend the camp and everyone is telling me he has a good shot to play at the college level at quarterback, so what better source for him to learn from than two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and two future NFL Hall of Fame players and also to get insight from some of the best college quarterbacks in the land. It also gives me a look-see at some players I maybe didn't get to see as much because most of my coverage at the college level has been in the Big Ten and the PAC-12 conferences."
Davis was very enthusiastic about what he has seen transpire in New Orleans with the Saints despite a very turbulent offseason.
"Make no mistake about it, they are still one of the elite teams in pro football," Davis said. "Not having Sean Payton is something no one can really talk with great authority on because it is unprecedented to occur in the NFL to have a head coach lost for the season, but this team is very impressive offensively. Last season they found some identity in the running game with a healthy Pierre Thomas. Darren Sproles was just terrific in his role. Chris Ivory is a real beast of a runner when healthy, and just when it looked like Mark Ingram was fixing to hit his stride he gets hurt. But they were all great complements to Drew Brees and the passing game. I thought that was a huge key to their success during the season."
Davis went on about the Saints.
"Jimmy Graham is just a phenomenal player and late last season Marques Colston was playing every bit as good as any wide receiver in the NFL," Davis said. "They have made some real good additions defensively with Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne, and I am anxious to see the development of Martez Wilson, Cameron Jordan and the rookie Akiem Hicks up front. This team will be really good again, but to say they can win 13 regular season games without Sean Payton is tough to say. Even if Payton were there this season 13 wins is a lot in this league, but they are again one of the elite teams in football because of that offense and certainly the play of Drew Brees."
Davis also gave his take on the contract signing of Brees.
"Drew deserved to be paid amongst the highest players out there and certainly with this deal he is on that top perch," Davis said. "He is just unbelievable to watch and for 2012, he is the Most Valuable Player for any team to have because of what has happened this offseason and not having the general (Payton) on the sidelines. In this case, Brees is the five-star general on a very talented team and one that I could see making it far into the playoffs and possibly making a Super Bowl run if they can stay healthy in key spots."
He also spoke on the offseason "Bountygate" issues.
"The commissioner knows a lot more about this than any of us," Davis added. "Roger Goodell came into the job universally praised for being the tough sheriff and everyone applauded what he was doing to make this game better and safer for the players and now that is in question because of the strong actions he has taken. I know it is difficult to say locally because really it is looked at more from a personal standpoint, but what he did I have no disagreement with. He took the steps he felt he needed to in order to send a message not only to the Saints, but the other teams that this will not be tolerated. For some fans this came across as shocking, but when you have covered this league and seen and heard some of the things said and done you know there is a right way and a wrong way to do things, and I am certain that the Commissioner is doing things he feels as though are correct.
Davis had some high praise for the LSU Tigers in 2012 and their quarterback Zach Mettenberger.
"LSU is going to be a major contender for the national championship again this season," Davis said. "They have a huge and talented offensive line. They are five deep at running back, and their defense looks like a future NFL team. Last season what I saw from Alabama defensively was the best I had seen at the college level since I have been in this business and LSU's defense was just a notch below them. Their speed, athleticism and aggressive play to the football are at the highest level. Tyrann Mathieu is just a one-of-a-kind player, and Eric Reid is the best free safety in the country. They complement one another greatly. The difference this season will be Zach Mettenberger at quarterback. He can make all the throws. He has great size. He can run when pressured, and he plays the game with a certain air of confidence. Zach also wants the title of leader and that is very important at that critical spot. He doesn't have to play great early on, but late in the season against Alabama and Arkansas he needs to play at a higher level and make that jump that A.J. McCarron did at Alabama last season. There is no question LSU and Alabama are the two best teams in the SEC and again both will be in the hunt for the national championship."
Davis said he feels the national title race is more open than in any other year.
"It was clear cut that LSU and Alabama were the two best teams in the nation last season and again both will be there in the hunt this year, but watch for who emerges out of the PAC-12 between USC and Oregon," Davis said. "Both of those teams are very good, and Oklahoma is always a very talented squad. If Florida State and Virginia Tech can get some consistent play at quarterback they also will be national title contenders. The sleeper team to watch this season, despite losing a lot of players to the NFL, is Oklahoma State. They are going to be very good again this season and certainly if, and I say if, Texas can get good quarterback play they will also be in the running for the national title."
The NFL Network scouting analyst also gave his take on some players to watch for during the college football season.
"Zach Mettenberger has a chance to be special for the end of the season for LSU and I have no doubt about that," he said. "Eddie Lacy, who is from Louisiana, is healthy now and that spot to be the main rushing cog at Alabama is open due to Trent Richardson leaving. Out West, quarterback Bryan Bennett, who is here at Nicholls for the camp, is an outstanding prospect, and he is a terrific passer and also a real threat as a runner. At USC those two receivers are just off the charts. Robert Woods, if he is healthy, is maybe the best offensive player in the country, and he has a perfect complement in the speedster Marqise Lee. Out on the East Coast, Logan Thomas, the quarterback at Virginia Tech, is a guy that could be the next big breakout star in the country. He looks like a defensive end and yet runs like a 190-pound halfback. If he can gain some more consistency as a passer Thomas could be a strong Heisman Trophy contender this season."
Davis also likes the new college football playoff system, but wishes that it would just not be limited to a four-team format.
"I really wished the NCAA had established a 16-game format, but it is better than what we had before," Davis said. "It is what we all wanted, and that is to have the national title decided through a playoff system. This looks as though they are just sticking their toes in right now, but I can see something down the road where it will probably be expanded to either eight or 16 teams."

Asia-Pacific Bond Risk Falls, Credit-Default Swap Prices Show
The cost of insuring Asia-Pacific corporate and sovereign bonds from default outside of Japan declined, according to traders of credit-default swaps.
The Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan dropped 4 basis points to 169 basis points as of 8:25 a.m. in Hong Kong, Credit Agricole SA prices show. The gauge has traded in a 132.5 basis-point to 209 basis-point range this year, according to data provider CMA.
The Markit iTraxx Australia index fell 4 basis points to 164 as of 10:25 a.m. in Sydney, Credit Agricole prices show. The index has risen from its low for the year at 128.2 on March 19, according to CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
The Markit iTraxx Japan index was unchanged at 192 basis points as of 9:21 a.m. in Tokyo, according to Deutsche Bank AG prices. The measure has risen 56 basis points since March 19, when it fell to its lowest for the year at 136.2, CMA prices show.
Credit-default swap indexes are benchmarks for protecting bonds against default and traders use them to speculate on credit quality. A drop signals improving perceptions of creditworthiness, while an increase suggests the opposite.
The swap contracts pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities if a borrower fails to meet its debt agreements. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.

Newborn Screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
Implementation August 1, 2014
As of August 1, 2014, Rhode Island will begin screening all infants born in the state for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID).SCID is a rare disease that causes dangerously low levels of white blood cells, which protect the body from infection. Babies with SCID appear healthy at birth, but if the disorder is not detected and treated quickly, they can become seriously ill or even die when exposed to common infections. Babies have the best chance of being cured through a bone marrow transplant if they are diagnosed and treated by three months of age. The addition of SCID to Rhode Island's newborn screening panel is consistent with a national trend toward expanded newborn screening.
Child health physicians and other providers will be notified if a patient does not pass the initial screen for SCID.To learn more about newborn screening and what you should do to ensure babies receive appropriate follow-up care, visit

The cCHD team wanted to provide an update on cCHD screenings throughout the state of RI:
* As of February 2014, all RI birthing facilities as well as RI's sole-licensed home birth practice have instituted cCHD screenings for all newborns
* 11,500 infants have been screened for cCHD in RI
* Average saturations are 98.8% Preductal and 99.1% Postductal
* 2 "false positive screens" have occurred:
- 1st a normal result misinterpretation as a "fail" with a subsequent normal ECHO
- 2nd a "did not pass" on 3 consecutive screening attempts with a PDA on ECHO (not considered cCHD)
These False Positive screenings serve as a reminder that pulse oximetry for cCHD is a screening tool- not a diagnostic measure. Pulse oximetry screening has a 70% sensitivity rate so there is also the potential for False Negative screenings. RI's lack of False Negative screenings is likely due in part to the state's high rate of prenatal ascertainment as well as to the high-quality hospital staff (both Pediatric providers and nursing personnel) who have caught those cases which were not diagnosed prenatally.
Reach Out and Read RI is in the rare position of looking to recruit new Reach Out and Read sites in Rhode Island. If you, or your practice, are interested in becoming involved please contact Susanna Beckwith at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 401-331-1967. You can also visit our website for more information www.rorri.org.
Reach Out and Read Rhode Island (RORRI) prepares the state's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with pediatricians and family physicians to prescribe books and encourage families to read together. They work with medical providers at 43 hospitals, clinics, and community health centers across Rhode Island, reaching close to 30,000 children and distributing over 50,000 books at well-child visits each year. Reach Out and Read is a proven effective model of promoting early literacy with fifteen studies verifying its impact, more than for any other psychosocial intervention in general pediatrics. Parents served by the program are four times more likely to read aloud to their children and preschool aged children served by Reach Out and Read score three to six months ahead of their non-Reach Out and Read peers on vocabulary tests. By expanding our partnership with pediatric and family physicians we hope to set even more RI children on a path to school success.

I have a VMWare vSphere 5 Hypervisor server that has a static ip address assigned to it by VLAN that is configured to perform NAT. The static IP is assigned to the bare metal server via the NIC's mac address.
I want to setup a guest machine to also have a static ip address, how can I go about having this setup? I have assigned a IP for the guest's MAC Address but it doesn't seem to be working as when I ping the ip address it does not respond. The guest is running ubuntu 10.04 server edition. I am trying to assign it a static public ip address.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to update the js tracking code to support Display Advertising which will track demographics. Apparently this only requires a single line of code:
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
Change to:
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://' : 'http://') + 'stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js';
I have found where this code is written in the plugin and changed the code, but this isn't being reflected on the website source code. It my method even possible? Have I done something wrong?
Kind regards.

MUSIC NEWS- Rounder Records has announced the release of Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA on August 7, 2015. The stellar live DVD/CD captures Allman and his eight-piece solo band in a high-energy performance that was recorded on January 14, 2014 at the venerable Grand Opera House, a 1,000 seat jewel of a theatre that was built in 1884 in Macon, the Middle Georgia town where it all began for the Allman Brothers Band over 40 years ago. The album features 16 tracks, made up of a varied selection of songs from the ABB catalog, tunes from Allman's solo albums and several dynamic cover songs. The DVD, the first Allman's ever released as a solo artist, will include two bonus tracks, as well as special interview segments.
"We played, lived, laughed and cried there," says Allman about Macon in the package's liner notes. "And I wrote many, many songs in that town. It's always good to play Macon, man."

Sea ice has been suggested, based on simple models, to play an important role in past glacial–interglacial oscillations via the so-called "sea-ice switch" mechanism. An important requirement for this mechanism is that multiple sea-ice extents exist under the same land ice configuration. This hypothesis of multiple sea-ice extents is tested with a state-of-the-art ocean general circulation model coupled to an atmospheric energy–moisture-balance model. The model includes a dynamic-thermodynamic sea-ice module, has a realistic ocean configuration and bathymetry, and is forced by annual mean forcing. Several runs with two different land ice distributions represent present-day and cold-climate conditions. In each case the ocean model is initiated with both ice-free and fully ice-covered states. We find that the present-day runs converge approximately to the same sea-ice state for the northern hemisphere while for the southern hemisphere a difference in sea-ice extent of about three degrees in latitude between the different runs is observed. The cold climate runs lead to meridional sea-ice extents that are different by up to four degrees in latitude in both hemispheres. While approaching the final states, the model exhibits abrupt transitions from extended sea-ice states and weak meridional overturning circulation, to less extended sea ice and stronger meridional overturning circulation, and vice versa. These transitions are linked to temperature changes in the North Atlantic high-latitude deep water. Such abrupt changes may be associated with Dansgaard–Oeschger events, as proposed by previous studies. Although multiple sea ice states have been observed, the difference between these states is not large enough to provide a strong support for the sea-ice-switch mechanism.

I have a complex web application that contains a lot of dynamic Aliases. I created a shellscript that updates the .conf file(s) with these aliases. Is it possible to call this shellscript from within the Apache conf? So something like:
RunScript /etc/myapp/updateconf.sh
Include /etc/myapp/*.conf
Or alternatively, is there a good way to add this script as a hook to the /etc/init.d/apache2 or /etc/init.d/httpd script? I am looking for a solution that works on both CentOS and Ubuntu. If I am totally approaching this the wrong way, any other suggestions are welcome as well.

Product Description
In the course of his mission, Dave is hit by a car, becomes a substitute teacher in a New York City public school, and starts to develop feelings for earth kids--and ladies. All the while his homage to the Bee Gees, from the white suit to his high-pitch-perfect rendition of "Stayin' Alive," provides an oddly perfect backdrop and symbol for Dave's being ever so slightly behind the times. Murphy is engaging as always, firing off deadpan one-liners and happily being the straight man to the film's jokes. A potential love interest, Gina (Elizabeth Banks), mentions that her late husband was a captain in the Navy. Dave says, "I am a captain." Gina: "Oh really? A captain of what?" Inside Dave's head, the crewmembers frantically search their earth database to give him the answer: "I am a captain of crunch." --A.T. Hurley

She plays some of the same games I play, so I wanted to chat with her about those. Also have questions about cosplaying I want to ask her.
I had an external HD issue the other day. After a power flicker, my backup HD couldn't be read or write to. My computer could see it, but couldn't do anything with it. Couldn't even "Erase" it. I did manage to fix it though by writing a single partition over it though, which I don't understand why that worked and an erase wouldn't work. Isn't they basically the same thing? I mean, I know a partition is usually when you want to split a HD into multiple, but a single partition is just an erase, I think... I'm rambling... xP
| 08/06/2015 6:16 pm
mhm Of course. She signed all 5, gave me a hug, and took a picture with me. Wish I could get more time to chat with her, but her table kept getting swarmed and she seemed to chat with cosplayers more than non-cosplayers. Maybe next time I'll toss something together and she'll chat with me more. xP
Try Google searching the problem? I'm guessing your a Windows user, so I won't be of much help.

Cedar's reports theft at its new W. Side bar
Cedar's Lounge recently left its downtown location for a new building on Steel Street, but the welcome party included a group of thieves.
The bar's owner told police he is still in the process of moving into the space at 702 Steel St. on the West Side but noticed a door propped open Tuesday night and four 48-inch televisions missing from inside the building. There were also about a dozen bottles of alcohol missing.
Reports say there were no visible signs of forced entry to the building.
Vigil today for man killed in hit-and-run
Family and friends of a man killed in a hit-and-run accident on the South Side last week will come together today for a candlelight vigil in his honor.
Robert Brown, 23, of Youngstown died Monday from injuries he suffered after being hit by a car on Hylda Avenue last weekend. Brown was leaving a bar near Hylda and Market Street when he was hit.
The car that hit Brown left the scene without stopping. Police still are looking for the driver of that car.
Those who knew Brown will be gathering outside Duka's Bar on Hylda Avenue at 6:30 p.m. today.
The family also has set up a memorial fund for Brown at any Huntington Bank under Robert G. Brown Jr. Memorial Fund.

Mother Nature doesn't much care that you've stashed your laptop, lunch, and copy of Lolita inside your pack--she wants to rain, damn it, so she's gonna rain. The best you can do is stash your weather-sensitive gear inside the Chrome Bravo Laptop Backpack and let the waterproof 1000D Cordura do its best to keep your gear snug and dry. In case Cordura isn't enough, Chrome lined the Bravo with 1800D truck tarpaulin for extra waterproofing and durability, so you could practically drag it behind you or take it for a swim with no ill effects. The laptop sleeve secures computers up to 15in, and the large back pocket is a perfect place to stash a rain shell or extra layer. Chrome also designed the Bravo to expand to accommodate 40L—just loosen the compression straps—and tossed in a padded back panel, sternum strap, and a classic Chrome seatbelt-style quick-release buckle so everyone can tell at a glance that you take your commuting seriously.

Wonderful Bag especially for the price!!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This bag is pretty much flawless. It is incredibly durable, more durable honestly than my haul bags. Everything on this bag is bomber, and the expandability is incredible. Originally I was torn between this and one of chromes messenger bags however after thinking about the prices I realized this was a deal that can't be beaten. The waterproofing of this is wonderful for any kind of commuter. and my friends regularly joke about how I could use it to carry water around all day. I'm interested in seeing how it breaks in and what its like after a few years of use, however so far this bag is incredible and I would suggest it to anyone looking for a new bag.
Maybe not for full time students
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
It's a big bag, could fit a lot of gear you could need in your day to day life while cycling around; really comfortable back and everything is very adjustable for your own comfort levels.
The bag tapers down at the bottom and doesn't quite fit the binders and books I'd hoped it would.
Cool bag, cool design. Not great for someone hauling 30 pounds of text books and school gear.
Great bag, but not for me
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
This is overall a very sturdy bag. It's well made and it feels like it would be comfortable to carry heavy things in for long distances. That said, it does have a few problems. All of the pouches open with loud Velcro. It might get quieter with use, but it's a bit much for me. I need something more discrete. The top flap is also held in place with Velcro. While I doubt this would be an issue for someone with short hair, it kept catching and tugging on my braid. Finally, the sternum strap is badly placed if you have any substantial bust. It seems like it would help support the bag nicely on anyone with a flat chest, but it ended up awkwardly squishing me.
Again, overall I think this seems like a great bag and a good buy for anyone who doesn't mind the issues listed above.
Too much velcro for me
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I've been trying to look for more packs with less velcro (they stick to and ruin my clothing, it's a hassle to pull it apart (not quick access for my ability), and hard on my psoriatic arthritic hands). The bag looks indestructible. Excellent interior, closure on top to keep the elements out and I love(d) the buckles - smooth. Nice shape, and the straps were perfect - have that "extra' part of the upper straps that not all packs have for the shoulders and then they have a clip for across your chest. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind velcro.
Durable Bag, looks good.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like the small features of this bag perfectly well but all in all I like the simplicity of the bag. It's durable and black and works great. Laptop is totally safe in there and that's awesome for me.
Sold with style
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got this bag for bike commuting and to use as my daily bag for work. Great bag. The expandable option has come in pretty clutch on more than a few occasions. No issues with riding in the rain, done it too many times, the bag is waterproof (or weather proof as Chrome defines it). My only beef with it if any is depending you much I have the roll top extended, the bag sometimes hits my helmet. Love it anyway. It's the only bag I've had where someone has commented on it, more than once too. Now I'm looking a their other bags...
Smaller than I thought
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The bag was seemed bigger than I expected (in terms of looks) but the space inside was smaller than it looked. Pretty cool. Hugs the body well
Love this bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I was looking for a bag that was waterproof, comfortable, can expand to relatively high-capacity and a bit more organized than a cavernous dry bag. This thing delivered! The construction is bomb-proof and the bag does a good job of holding my laptop in the outer sleeve. The downsides are relatively minor: the bag itself is definitely on the heavy side but in my opinion the comfort makes up for that, the laptop pocket padding could definitely be beefier, and there's no dedicated loop to clip on a blinkey (the cross straps do an ok job).

For the last few weeks, I've been happily using XBMC 10 to watch TV shows, movies and play music. The last few days however, while playing video in "true fullscreen", it happened several times that XBMC suddenly disappeared, I was returned to my desktop with a busy cursor for two seconds, and then a notification bubble reminding me "New updates are available" appearing.
I would say this is pretty undesirable behavior for a media center application, so I have to ask: what could be causing this apparent change in behavior?
Edit: For now disabling notification balloons relieved the problem, but if there is someone who could explain how to script that, or a real fix, I'd still love to know.

So far this month, much of the Deep South and Middle Atlantic states have been hit with snowstorms and persistent cold. Average temperatures since Feb. 1 have been a whopping 5 to 10 degrees below normal! So what's going on?
An unusually strong and persistent area of high pressure over northern Canada has been forcing much of the cold air well south into the southeastern United States, leaving much of central and northeastern Canada relatively mild with a lack of snowfall.
It appears that this blocking pattern could persist through much of the rest of this month, keeping the eastern half of the nation in the deep freeze.

Looking for tips to improve first pull
View Single Post
Greg Everett
Join Date: Oct 2006

Main thing I would work on is pulling down under the bar more aggressively - and improving the mechanics of that pull under. You need to really force your elbows out and pull them high to get moving downward faster and closer to the bar.
Yes, your arms are bending a bit prior to your pull under, and it would be idea if they remained straight. Think of lifting your body rather than lifting the bar - the bar will follow.
Overhead position needs some work too. Bar is too far back in your hand - your wrists are not going to appreciate that as it gets heavier. Try to get it deeper in your palms while still allowing the hand to relax and wrist to extend as needed. Cradle the bar slightly behind the midline of your forearm.
Make sure you're not gripping the bar really tightly overhead also. Your elbows are soft - loose-ish grip, more stretching, more forceful elbow extension and shoulder blade retraction.
Also - is that Holley in the background? Where are you training?

Jessica Simpson Sometimes Cleans Her Teeth With Her Sweater
And more celebrity trivia, in today's gossip roundup.
Jessica Simpson explained to iheartradio how she maintains her pearly whites: "I don't brush my teeth. No, really! I just use Listerine — and sometimes I'll use my sweater." Meanwhile, her reported paramour, Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan, said to Rolling Stone of Simpson's ex John Mayer, that it's "hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground — speaking as somebody who's done it." And VH1 execs are trying to cut Jessica Simpson's hairdresser/BFF/Oscar date, Ken Paves, out of The Price of Beauty, which is a challenge since he squeezed himself into basically every scene.
One would think it would be hard to find a "manager" less qualified than Spencer Pratt, but Heidi Montag was up to the challenge. She fired her husband/manager and replaced him with a psychic from Malibu named Aiden Chase, noting, "having an intuitive psychic leading my team gives me an edge no one else has." Celebrity Rehab is trying their darndest to snag DMX before he lands himself in jail. High Society "socialite" Jules Kirby says she's not really a racist, she was just edited to look like one. "Everything was cut and pasted to make it look like I was a stupid bitch, and I regret that they do not do a better job of saying it is a docusoap, not a reality show." A hair-extensionless Kate Gosselin dined with four males at Nobu. And Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger has taken to bashing the preggers Bethenny Frankel, tweeting, "My BFF Jill Zarin is getting the shaft on NYC Housewives bc of a dark haired loser! Why is everyone on Team Bethany? Any cow can give birth."
"I love sex. I love skin," says Zoe Saldana. "Love it, love it, love it — can't live without it!" Lady Gaga dispels rumors that she's a hermaphrodite by exposing her blurred-out crotch in her and Beyoncé's "Telephone" video, explaining, "There's certainly always a hidden message in my music videos." While partying at Le Montana in Paris, bisexual supermodel Rie Rasmussen snapped at fashion photographer Terry Richardson, accusing him of forcing young girls into compromising positions for the sake of his art.
While hovering outside an L.A. Starbucks waiting for Renée Zellweger to emerge, a paparazzo fed the actress's parking meter after noticing it had expired and a traffic cop was on his way. Zellweger then thanked him with a $100 gift card, thus illustrating the great symbiotic celebrity-paparazzi relationship. A group of high-school girls spotted Jessica Biel dining solo at Lincoln Center, so they wrote her name in big letters across their notebooks, holding them up against the cafe's windows so that all other diners could take note of her presence. Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston are promoting Bounty Hunter by PDAing at the film's London premiere. Some guy in Georgia was arrested for sending Elton John death threats via YouTube. Apparently he was displeased by John's whole "Jesus is gay" thing. At the time of his death, Corey Haim possessed Vicodin, Valium, Soma (a muscle relaxant), and the anti-psychotic drug haloperidol, though his manager claims he'd been clean and was working with a new addiction specialist. And former Bachelor contestant Rozlyn Papa did not star in a sex tape, even though everyone thought she did. Turns out the porn star in question was just a Papa look-alike from Prague.

The translation is wrong. It should read either "Helps keeping..." or "Helping keeping...". Thought a better line could be "Keeping / Keeps / We keep Egyptian truck drivers on the righteous path."
The Christian imagery is very interesting coming from Egypt. The idea isn't too bad but the end result falls a bit flat.

Panasonic Plasma is still the best,
This review is from: Panasonic VIERA TC-P55GT30 55-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Electronics)
I have owned this TV for a little over a month now, and I could not be more impressed. My seating area is 11 feet from the screen and the visual elements are perfect from this distance. The picture is fully adjustable, I prefer the "vivid" look with bright colors and high contrast, but there are several viewing modes like "cinematic" which has a bit of a darker movie theater look, and each of these modes can be customized even further (adjust brightness, color etc..)
One of the best things about this set, is IT'S JUST AS THIN AS AN LED!!! So throw the LED thiness advantage out the window because the Panasonic GT series is super thin! Also, the refresh rate is incredibly smooth, I have literally seen zero motion blur on blu rays or watching the NBA finals. The sound is ok, but it's never good on a flat screen TV, I have an Onkyo Receiver and 5.1 surround sound, so I'm covered there.
The setup for the TV is easy, I initially had it on the provided stand, and now I have it wall mounted, everything was easy I did it alone. The HDMI input is horizontal and to the side, but for wall mounting that works fine, it's not a real drawback and if it is, you can buy a converter to have the HDMI inputs face the other way.
I also attached an ethernet cable from my router to the back of the tv, and I can go online, and watch youtube. And the Youtube videos look and sound terrific on here, it's nice not having to goto the PC when I want to see a clip that someone tells me about.
If you are looking for a picture with better colors and contrast than any LED or LCD, and a faster refresh rate, then get this set. Don't worry about pixel burnout, that is a thing of the past, and it only happens at airports when the plasmas have the same flight info on the screen 24/7, this TV has a screensaver and safety/temperature features... My last comment is that I own 2 Toshiba LED's, a Sony Bravia, and 4 other LCD TV's, and none of them compare to the Panasonic GT-30, there's a reason why so many film "purists" prefer high-end Plasmas, they're simply better...
**UPDATE** I tested the 3D mode using Panasonic's own Glasses. I watched the Siegfried and Roy Magic story & it was VERY IMPRESSIVE, to be honest the 3D worked better than I had expected. I also watched several other 3D programs that my cable had on "Demand" and I played 2 XBox 360 games in 3D, Call of Duty Black Ops which is fantastic in 3D and NBA 2K11 which is pretty good in 3D but less colorful than 2D. Overall the 3D works, it's not too early to get 3D, it is pretty darn cool!

At Last, Recognition and Praise for the Resistance in Nazi Germany
By SHAREEN BLAIR BRYSAC
Published: October 7, 2000
When the British historian A. J. P. Taylor declared in the 1960's that German resistance to the Nazis was a myth, his was a widely held view. Even today many people in Germany and elsewhere believe there was little internal opposition to Hitler.
After decades of bitter debate, however, the German resistance's tangled history is coming into sharper focus. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war in 1989, newly released K.G.B. and C.I.A. files and long-ignored documents in the Roosevelt Library in
Hyde Park, N.Y., reveal that the once-scorned Communist and socialist resistance deserves more credit.
As Germany celebrates the 10th anniversary of reunification this week, there are signs that the left's contributions are finally being recognized. Streets in western Germany are being named for members of the Red Orchestra, a leftist resistance group that had been maligned for decades, while the high-speed trains plying from Hanover through the former eastern zone to Berlin bear names of German resisters like Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg, who had been honored only in the former West Germany.
But this searching re-examination has not been painless. Old East-West antagonisms have shot through attempts to correct the record.
Delicate political sensibilities are part of the reason that a more complete picture of the German resistance has been so long in coming. During the Nazi era the breadth of internal opposition was hidden from the German people and, except for the failed Stauffenberg plot of July 20, 1944, to assassinate Hitler, from the rest of the world. Yet Gestapo records reveal that approximately 800,000 Germans in a population of more than 66 million were jailed for active resistance during the Reich's 12-year reign. Indeed, the first concentration camps, notably Dachau, built near Munich in 1933, were meant for left-wing dissidents. In 1936, a typical year, 11,687 Germans were arrested for illegal socialist activity, according to Peter Hoffmann's standard 1977 study, ''The History of the German Resistance, 1933-1945.''
Even after the war the record was obscured. To many Germans the resistance was an awkward reminder that choices were possible, even in wartime. In Germany's western sector, influential voices echoed the Nazi judiciary in defining all resistance against the fatherland as high treason.
This view persisted after the founding of the German Federal Republic, or West Germany, in 1949. Survivor benefits, for example, were denied to the widows and children of the conservative officers who tried to kill Hitler in 1944, even though the widows of SS officers were receiving benefits.
As West Germany became the anchor of Western Europe, its frontiers guaranteed by NATO, a less defensive populace began to honor some resistance leaders like the army officers led by Count Stauffenberg who tried to assassinate Hitler in 1944, churchmen like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and the Catholic students in the so-called White Rose group. Even so, Communist opponents were still shunned. In 1956 the Bonn Parliament voted to compensate many German victims of Nazism, but when the Communist Party was declared illegal in West Germany, the Communists were excluded from any benefits.
Perhaps no group was more consistently misrepresented during the cold war or better illustrates the current re-examination of German resistance than the Red Orchestra. The Red Orchestra was a loosely organized group of about 120 Catholics, socialists, conservatives and former Communist Party members centered on Arvid Harnack, a former Rockefeller scholar and official in the German Economics Ministry; his American wife, Mildred; a Luftwaffe lieutenant, Harro Schulze-Boysen; and his wife, Libertas, who worked for the film section of the Propaganda Ministry.
Although often portrayed as a Soviet agent, Harnack in fact provided top-secret intelligence to an American diplomat in Berlin as well as to the Soviets. And despite Soviet requests to cease all resistance activities, the group printed and distributed anti-Nazi literature and helped Jews and dissidents escape until, because of a gross Soviet intelligence blunder, the Gestapo arrested 120 people in 1942 and 1943. One result was the torture, secret trial and execution of 31 men and 18 women, including Mildred Harnack.
In East Germany, the Soviet-installed government celebrated the Red Orchestra and other ''anti-fascist heroes'' to lend a measure of legitimacy to the regime. Streets and schools were named after Marxist resisters. History was rewritten with Orwellian zeal. Arvid Harnack's last words, uttered before he was executed, were changed from ''I believe in the power of love'' to ''I die as a convinced Communist!''
In West Germany the truth was obscured in a different way. Writing in 1954, the historian Gerhard Ritter expressed a common West German judgment about the Red Orchestra: ''This group had nothing to do with 'German resistance.' They were frankly in the service of the enemy. They not only sought to induce German soldiers to desert, but they also betrayed important military secrets and so destroyed German troops.'' They were, Ritter declared, traitors.
