Today is a great hot summer day for a terrific space photo to cool us down a bit. Those battering storm clouds over the Atlantic surely look awesome in the grazing sunlight, framed by the almost transparent solar panels of the Progress 50 freighter spacecraft and the Soyuz 35 (TMA-09M) spacecraft (on the left).

UK photographer Tim Burgess shot this magnificent image of the ISS over the full moon lit Stonehenge at the weekend. Check out Burgess' pics at Flickr, there are a lot of great images in his photostream, for example this iridium flare caught over the North Hampshire countryside.
Look at this awesome photo shot by amateur astronomer Mariano Ribas . That bright thingy on the right is the International Space Station transiting between the Earth and the Moon. Simply amazing. This is how it was made:

In this picture, ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano is seen preparing for a simulated spacewalk and is wearing a training version of his Extravehicular Mobility Unit spacesuit. And he looks extremely badass, although he is a real space rookie.

I've run into problems with Access database as it's maximum size is limited to 2 GB. I've done a little research and found about split Access databases. When splitting the database, the original file remains and one new is added. I don't quite understand what I'll be getting with this. As I understand, the newly created file is a back-end - the data is stored here, the original file is just a front-end with forms, queries, etc. The limit on back-end file will still remain effective. Am I right? Perhaps multiple splits will do the trick, but I don't understand the concept of it.
If multiple split is possible and I would be able to store more than 2 GB in virtually single database, how do I do it with OleDb. More specifically, am I supposed to interact with front-end database only, and Access will distribute the data by itself? I'm familiar with OleDb, just not sure about this whole split concept.
Thank you very much in advance.

Aperam Second-Quarter Profit Falls 97% on Stainless Demand
Aperam, the stainless-steel producer spun off by ArcelorMittal, said second-quarter profit slumped 97 percent as steel sales declined, and forecast earnings will "trough" in the third quarter.
Net income dropped to $2 million in the period from $66 million a year earlier, the Luxembourg-based company said today in a statement. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization were $102 million, missing the $111.3 million average estimate of six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Stainless-steel customers adopted "wait-and-see behavior, which had a negative impact on pricing," Aperam said. While a seasonal slowdown will see Ebitda "trough" in the third quarter, Aperam said it has "started to see signs of market stabilization, which gives us confidence for the end of the year."
European stainless-steel producers face overcapacity and higher raw-material costs at the same time as prices of the finished metal decline. European stainless steel averaged 1,155 euros a ton in the quarter, 7.6 percent lower than a year earlier. Outokumpu Oyj, a Finnish producer of the alloy, last week forecast a decline in third-quarter profit as demand and prices slump.
Aperam's second-quarter sales rose 13 percent to $1.71 billion.

Let Fq denote the finite field GF(q) and let h be a positive integer. MDS (maximum distance separable) codes over the symbol alphabet Fqb are considered that are linear over F q and have sparse ("low-density") parity-check and generator matrices over Fq that are systematic over Fqb. Lower bounds are presented on the number of nonzero elements in any systematic parity-check or generator matrix of an Fq-linear MDS code over Fqb, along with upper bounds on the length of any MDS code that attains those lower bounds. A construction is presented that achieves those bounds for certain redundancy values. The building block of the construction is a set of sparse nonsingular matrices over Fq whose pairwise differences are also nonsingular. Bounds and constructions are presented also for the case where the systematic condition on the parity-check and generator matrices is relaxed to be over Fq, rather than over Fqb

Rosario Dawson's Awesome Pitch For The New Cesar Chavez Movie
Rosario Dawson has a lot of smart and interesting things to say in her interview with the Daily Beast about Diego Luna's upcoming movie on farmworker rights pioneer Cesar Chavez. Dawson will play Dolores Huerta, the co-founder of the Chavez's farmworkes' union, and it's definitely worth reading the interview in its entirety to get a her take on racism, sexism, classism, and imperialism — both in the context of the movie and in her own life.
But one part of the interview in particular stuck out as an interesting insight: What audience Dawson is hoping will turn out to see Cesar Chavez when it opens on March 28, and what she's hoping they do next.
"Young millennials are the first group that, as diverse as they are, really wants traction on a lot of these different issues," Dawson explains. "It opens us up to a way of thinking, 'Yes, it's in your power to do something about this. Yes, you're inheriting trillions of dollars of debt, you're drowning in student loans, you're living with your parents, you're worried about your future, you're marrying less and putting off children. You're a very interesting demographic. But two-thirds of you approve of gay marriage, you're in favor of medical marijuana.' So you can watch this movie and go, 'OK, that group of illiterate farmworkers banded together and changed the world. I'm a young person that feels very marginalized — people only treat me like a consumer — but I can change the world.'"
It's interesting that Dawson sees the movie as a way to zoom out and think about political activism writ large instead of just a tale of immigration organizing. Dawson herself is a longtime vocal advocate for immigrants' rights and helms a group, Voto Latino, that focuses on organizing Latino Millennials around reform. So it wouldn't be surprising if she wanted the movie to inspire people to take up the cause of immigration reform specifically.
But the focus on Millenials' influence on every issue is what makes her pitch for the movie particularly salient. Clearly, Dawson is plugged into the demographic changes that are currently driving calls for progress. Not only do young people largely support immigration reform (78 percent of people aged 18-29 said that undocumented people should be able to stay in the country legally in a 2013 Pew poll), but they're also driving change on a number of other social issues: Marijuana legalization, marriage equality, and online privacy. The theme that runs through all of this change is the demographic makeup of Millenials; They're young people of color — and they're growing at a rate of about 4 Million new voters a year.
It's great that Rosario Dawson is plugged into the world of activism from her powerful perch as a celebrity. But it's even better that she understands exactly where and how to make change happen.

Preservation enthusiasts believe a silver lining runs just under "endangered" labels slapped twice on Route 66 in the past nine days.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation on Thursday named the "neon-clad mom-and-pop" motels of Route 66, which ran through Amarillo, to its 2007 list of America's Most Endangered Historic Places.
On June 6, "The Mother Road" joined archaeological sites in Iraq and Afghanistan and Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity on the nonprofit World Monuments Fund's 2008 list of 100 threatened cultural treasures worldwide.
The endangered designations can bring benefits, said Wes Reeves, president of the Amarillo Historical Preservation Foundation.
"What we've seen is it focuses attention from the outside on to local resources that otherwise might not get attention," he said.
"The more buzz there is about a certain property or certain type of property, the more likely you can attract investment. That's why we get excited about seeing our local resources on lists like this."
The National Trust list specifically calls attention to the iconic highway's unique motels, constructed from the 1920s through the '50s.
"In recent years, Route 66 motels in hot real-estate markets have been torn down at record rates, while in cold real-estate markets, motels languish and are being reclaimed by forces of nature," the Trust list states.
On its Web site, the Trust uses a photo of Amarillo's Triangle Motel - now being restored - among three photographs to illustrate the Route 66 listing.
Owner Alan McNeil is working to save the Route 66 landmark at 7954 E. Amarillo Blvd.
Michael Taylor, manager of the National Park Service Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program, called the Triangle Motel "a good poster child" for Route 66 protection efforts in an interview last week, when the WMF released its 2008 World Monuments Watch List of Most Endangered Sites.
"Architecturally, it's a real gem," he said. "That's exactly the kind of property that is threatened and endangered, and we are trying to work with the city of Amarillo and the local owners to bring the property up where it can work again."
In danger
The National Trust for Historic Preservation on Thursday released its annual list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
Information about the threats faced by sites named on the list can be found at www.nationaltrust.org.
1. Brooklyn's Industrial Waterfront, New York
2. El Camino Real National Historic Trail, New Mexico
3. H.H. Richardson House, Brookline, Mass.
4. Hialeah Park, Hialeah, Fla.
5. Historic places in powerline corridors, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware
6. Historic structures in Mark Twain National Forest, Missouri
7. Historic Route 66 Motels, Illinois to California
8. Minidoka Internment National Monument, Jerome County, Idaho
9. Philip Simmons Workshop and Home, Charleston, S.C.

Just upgraded to Developmental version of super cache. Using most recent version of WP. I'm using Legacy Mode.
Got this message when i ran a test:
Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in .../wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 570
These are lines 570-572:
if ( $page[ 'response' ][ 'code' ] != 200 || $page2[ 'response' ][ 'code' ] != 200 ) {
echo '<p>' . __( 'One or more page requests failed:', 'wp-super-cache' ) . '</p>';
echo '
- ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %d: %d (%s)', 'wp-super-cache' ), 1, $page[ 'response' ][ 'code' ], $page[ 'response' ][ 'message' ] ) . '
I had a similar problem with the regular/most current version of Super Cache, but it was line 473. I thought this upgrade would fix the problem, and I guess it did, but it has created another one. I'm sure this is easy to fix though.
Any thoughts?
When I change the setting from legacy to mod mode or PHP mode, i'm getting the following warning:
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 1848
Line 1848 says:
if ( array_key_exists('fsize', $cache_stats[ 'supercache' ]) )
$fsize = $cache_stats[ 'supercache' ][ 'fsize' ] / 1024;
In the Mod setting, looks like i'm having the Fatal Error line 570 problem again. The Warning...line 1848 problem seems to be gone.

Who made the call, then who pay the job. No matter who they are.
I would consider the power issue in this case.
By the way, the noise is louder when the gas pressure is higher.
Furnace installed in garage is allowed here but need to comply with more codes. If I found any code violation, I will let the HO know and tag it.
When you work at the converted furnace, you need to...
Hi guys, one of our customer asked us to install a HRV for his swimming pool which located in the basement of his house. The pool size is 8'x20', and the pool room is 16'x25'.We never install any...
No,they plan to get one since their customers asking for ice cream sometimes.
Hi guys, One of our customer want to buy a ice cream idspenser and he wants to know which made/model has good reputation. Do you guys have any idea? thanks
bad txv is my thought.
You can buy a purge tubing kit from any supplier house. I have one in my truck.it basically is a flex tube with female thread on it and a shut off valve to control the flow.
I would prefer a new txv instead of the cap tube if it's practical.
Did you removed all the packing material? If you didn't,that might be the source of the problem.
I would double check the evap fan first,make sure it was 100% ok. then I would adjust the txv.if it still had the same symptom, the txv might be faulty.
I had some similar experience, but not Bryant. Used manometer to check and the pressure were at the range,but pressure switches not made.Ohm them,and some high resistance or ol were there,bad...
I didn't have the metal stem with me at that time, only a plastic cap and leak lock . Anyway,the leak became much slower.I had to let the cooler running since there were lot of stuff inside. I...
i will try it next time,thanks
i would try that next time.thanks
yes,but the packing nut was super tight,not going in any more.
sorry, my mistake. it's leaking around the stem of the king valve.
did that
your are right, sorry for my typo.The dispatcher text me very early. When I got there,my brain still sleeping.
Yes, it's leaking around the stem.
Got a call this AM, a WI cooler not cooling,checked it and it was found not enough of R. Which is a R22 system. check leak and the king valve was found leaking at the valve core. Lots of stuff inside...
You guys have r12. Wow.
I still remember my first week on the road by myself. It's exciting and scaring.

Double price? How much it exactly cost in your area?
What kind of control board u have? Is it a black box build of Honeywell smart valve? If positive,then check the board first before u condemn the valve. Good luck.
please go there and check what kind of noise you heard. I heard "Rumbling noise " from the motor before as motor ramps up and down.
never use dye,only sniffer and soap

Check your gas pressure,burners,flame sensor,ground circuit,circuit board.....
HE has blockage, then the resistance increased. But when you removed the cover,the total resistance would dropped again. So the pressure made and burners were lite up.
One York furnace I installed 3 years ago has condensation problem. I need to go back there every year to clear the tubing of the pressure switch since its lock out by pressure sensing problem. the...
I did it like every 10 jobs before.but now I do it every 3---5 jobs.
If you got a fix bore inside,check the super heat when it's at temp,if u got txv inside,check the sub cooling.
Update:Flushed the system twice with flush kit and nitrogen. Ordered the same type of r134a comp and replaced it. Changed the filter dryer, added a sight glass.Charged it with R134a. System worked...
The owner didn't see the guy doing it. I am thinking if both oil in the system with hot shot, is it the reason the comp get stuck after 6 months.
Thanks, i would try to test it this way.
About hot shot,what if both type of oil with hot shot in one system,and it still work?
Long story short, I got a call: A small walk-in cooler no cooling. Trouble shoot it. the compressor didn't start. the start and run winding are 11 ohms,3 ohms and r to s total 14 ohms. it pull 32...

This resort really has a secluded feel to it. I attended a business meeting here in October 2012.
Rooms are spread across small buildings extending from the main building. The pool and gym are more centralized. Very well kept grounds.
The room was very average, maybe a little dated. Bedding and linens were OK. Nice working desk and small sitting area in my room. Free wifi.
The gym was large with lots of equipment, but the cardio machines were a bit old (e.g. shared TV's).
Food quality was good at the restaurant. Good variety and comfortable dining areas.

When the Swann Auction Gallery catalog for the March 15 sale crossed my desk, I flipped through as usual, looking for things that might fit the Folger's collection development policy.

Thanks to vtxyzzy and wprelief I've managed to get a sidebar navigation going based off of Taxonomy Terms and their posts as sub lists. The code is as follows:

$terms = get_terms('typeofproject');
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$wpq = array ('taxonomy'=>'typeofproject','term'=>$term->slug);
$myquery = new WP_Query ($wpq);
$article_count = $myquery->post_count;
echo "
slug."\">";
echo "slug."\">".$term->name."";
echo "
";
echo "
";
if ($article_count) {
echo "
";
while ($myquery->have_posts()) : $myquery->the_post();
echo "
> ".$post->post_title."
";
echo "
";
echo "
";
The only part I have left to achieve is hiding the posts of terms that don't relate to the current page. You can see an end (static) example of how it should look here:
Doing an If Statement that using CSS to hide the irrelevant posts seems easy enough but as mentioned in the previous post the trouble is determining which term page you are currently on.
To add to the troubles there's a core bug in the system that prevents you using is_tax('something'). Please see the ticket here. I'm not sure what that means but a friend passed me on to it. It may be fixed by now?

This is one of the numerous fishing huts or 'carrelets' that dot the shoreline of the Gironde estuary on the west coast of France. The huts are built on stilts with their characteristic square fishing nets suspended at the front. They remind me slightly of the beaks of a pelican, which isn't surprising I suppose, as they both serve a similar function.

Thanks bellerose, I actually had some of those on my list at some point - Basil, Rufus, Atticus, Lucius and Crispin. Going through a bit of an "out with the old, in with the new" phase regarding my name lists at the moment, but I might come back around to them. Lucius and Atticus both seem like they'd be good matches, although a lot of berries seem to look down on poor old Atticus a little.
Hanbow - I'm not due for a long time so will probably um and ah for quite a while, lol. At the moment Bramwell Atlas is my top pick. I love how strong Atlas is compared to the softer Bramwell, and Atlas is also one of my husband's favourite names so I'm "allowed" to fall in love with it Will definitely post when I've made my final decision.Two small people, Mila Arden and Cato Bennett.

DT team.
It really pleases me to have read in a recent posting:
"It sounds like a little more transparency in whats coming next month might solve this issue from happening , especially for people that have limited funds available like students etc. So they can sign up for certain training coming as well as select from the massive list what they want to view. "
We don't presently teach animation at CCC, but it does creep into my lectures. I get to know some students who would like to go into the field and often recommend that they watch your free lessons, and buy a used book on the internet that includes a version of an earlier PLE. I hope that the pricing for certain training will make it easy for such students to inexpensivly study your comprehensive beginning courses.
You are the best,
Hello kcarp,
I'm not really sure what you're asking, but if you have students who are wondering what training is coming out next month we do that by posting sneak peeks over at DT Labs: http://www.digitaltutors.com/dtlabs/

I like the plugin and it still works well.
I only had issues with it once when I was writing some LaTeX formulas because I used {{ ... }} somewhere which triggered the plugin's footnote expansion.
You can fix this bug by adding the last 4 lines (the upper two are provided as context) to the for each loop at the end of the php file for the plugin:
$foot_start = strpos($data, $foot_delim) + strlen($foot_delim); //now we're looking through 'the_content' for the actual footnote text (not just inline link)
$foot_end = strpos($data, $foot_delim, $foot_start); //find out how long footnote is

The Goblin Reservation
The Goblin Reservation is a 1968 science fiction novel by Clifford D. Simak, featuring an educated Neanderthal, a biomechanical sabertooth tiger, aliens that move about on wheels, a man who time-travels using an unreliable device implanted in his brain, a ghost, trolls, banshees, goblins, a dragon and even Shakespeare himself. The Goblin Reservation was a Hugo Award nominee in 1969 and was originally serialized in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine.
The Goblin Reservation is the tale of Professor Peter Maxwell. It is set in the distant future when the Earth has been transformed into a university planet; a planet where creatures from all over the galaxy come to study, teach, and be entertained by the amazing discoveries that Earth is now rich with. Among the many things that Earth can now boast is Time University: a university devoted to slipping through time and discovering the truth about past events. People and creatures from the past are brought forward in time to be interviewed, studied and to provide entertainment for the people of the future. Among these are Alley Oop, a very smart, if at times crude, Neanderthal rescued from certain death and educated in the future. The creatures that people of the past always thought to be myth—such as trolls, fairies, goblins, and the like—have been discovered and placed on various reservations where they live and are studied by those working at Supernatural, a division of the planet-wide university.
The story begins when Peter Maxwell comes home to Earth only to discover that he has died. Or has he? He is forced to investigate his own 'murder' and discover who or what wanted him dead. He also returns with an additional mystery. He was apparently copied by unknown aliens and sent to a hidden world that may have come from the universe that existed before ours. They have offered him all their wisdom and history...for a price. Just what that price is, he is unsure.

It's no coincidence that most firms doing abatement of lead and asbestos also handle mold. These are the three biggest health hazards in older homes. For the Sharmas, now that the toxins and termites are gone, they can start focusing on the fun stuff—with a truly healthy outlook.

I just did a virgin install of 3.7 RC2 on my local WAMP server (I actually use Server2Go) and using the default theme. When I change the Permalinks to "Post name" and save it none of the links work (like Date, Category, Comments, etc) nor does the "Sample Page" from the menu. When I change back to "Default" they work again.
My htaccess file is writeable and in fact it does change to this when I select "Post name".

I have gotten pretty used to the
-c option with rsync which will compare the checksum of the files to see if there are changes instead of relying on times. Unfortunately there are a couple projects i work on where i cant use rsync because there is no SSH access to the server and must use FTP.
Is there a Mac or *nix client (that i can compile of OS X) that supports this kind of synchronization option? And bonus points if it will take an rsync style exclude file for things that shouldnt be touched.
I have tried mounting
ftpfs with FUSE as well as ExpanDrive, but they are just dead slow (some times a dry run of a fairly modest project can take 30 minutes).

The Man Who Would Be King
Jeffrey Meyers, the prolific biographer of many a cultural figure, has something of a problem with the subtitle of his new book, "John Huston: Courage and Art." I am uncertain about both the protean director's courage and his art. Mr. Meyers insists, toward the end of his biography, that Huston "probably made more great films than any other American director," which conveniently ignores the much more persuasive claims of Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock and Clint Eastwood, among many others.
Well, I suppose you can't blame a man, drawing to the end of the long slog that any biography entails, for inflating claims for his subject's importance. No one likes to finish a book thinking it was pretty much a waste of his time. But then there's the matter of courage to consider. Huston had a lot of nerve—there's no question about that. The more difficult the location, the happier he was. He was, more often than not, desperately in debt but cheerfully forging ahead on projects both dubious and promising—and not always able to tell the difference between the two. He was always charming and insouciant. But in matters where character really counted, he was something of a disaster—a bad and elusive father, a terrible husband to five wives and a largely absentee lover of literally hundreds of mistresses, most of whom dwindle into anonymity in these pages.
It seems to me that courage, as opposed to mere showboating, must have a moral dimension to it and that art must at least aspire to the attainment of bliss, neither of which Huston very often achieved. This leaves his posthumous reputation in the hands of his films. Some of these need to stand the test of time, and I'm not sure that they do.
John Huston: Courage and Art
By Jeffrey Meyers
Crown, 475 pages, $30
John Huston (1906-87) was the sickly son of a grand character actor, Walter Huston, and spent the requisite number of wanderjahre as a young man painting, boxing and helling around before he settled down to screenwriting at Warner Bros., where he prospered enough to become a director, making his first film, "The Maltese Falcon," in 1941. It is a woefully overrated film, stodgily imprisoned in gloomy apartments and offices, running on wisecracks and a smart cast (Mary Astor, Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre) supporting Humphrey Bogart. Yet it presaged much of Huston's future work.
Huston was ever an adapter of literary and subliterary properties, ranging from the grandiose—"The Bible" (1966), no less—to the ludicrous (the 1973 Paul Newman spy thriller "The Mackintosh Man"). Give him a strong script, or a big macho adventure story with a doomy conclusion—"The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (1948), "The Man Who Would Be King" (1975)—and he could deliver very good movies. This was Huston's sweet spot—high-spirited, far-darting male adventure stories, which let him exercise his visual storytelling skills, which were less apparent to others than to him.
He also had a goofy side, explored in the unclassifiable flop "Beat the Devil" (1953), a shaggy-dog story about stranded, feckless criminals, and perhaps in "Reflections in a Golden Eye" (1967)—sexual perversity on an Army base with a cast led by a shyly preening (and unimprovable) Marlon Brando. These are loose, oddball films and, I think, better than some of his more formal and self-consciously ambitious pictures.
Really, Huston was at heart a wordsmith—a throwback to the era when movies were written rather than assembled. He was lucky to work at a time when literary movies, the tonier the better, were thought to be hot box-office stuff (which they rarely were).
Over his 46 years as a director he made 37 films, of which Mr. Meyers judges eight to be "masterpieces" and another 10 "winners." That's not a bad percentage—as well as anyone does over a long career. But hold on a minute. Some of those masterpieces and winners are anything but. Among Huston's besetting sins was the belief that earnest realism was one of cinema's higher callings, and I think "Fat City" (1969, about washed-up boxers playing out their strings) is deadly dull. So, too, is "Under the Volcano" (1984), based on Malcolm Lowry's mysteriously well-regarded novel, about a drunkard's last day on earth in pre-World War II Mexico. "The Misfits" (1961, wild horses being rounded up and wild emotions unleashed in Nevada) is, despite the star power of Monroe, Gable and Montgomery Clift, a frenzy of inconsequence. And "Freud" (1962), "Night of the Iguana" (1964), "Moby Dick" (1956)? I don't think so.
Huston's sets tended to be relaxed, but he was often bored and indifferent—especially when a film failed to fulfill its promise. He would do crosswords and even doze off; a lot of the time he turned away from his actors and just listened to them recite their words. He also had a mean—not to say sadistic—streak, which extended, naturally, into his private life.
Huston's cruelty was as legendary as his kindness (especially when he was in his cups). Mr. Meyers collects plenty of evidence of his withdrawals—from his films, from his romantic relationships, from his children. What he had for friends were toadies, lapping up his whimsical favors and putting up with his equally whimsical contempt. In other words, he was not very nice, the occasional grandiose gesture aside.
Huston had a glorious voice and an equally grand manner, but he was above all elusive. He might distract with charm and professionalism (he was nearly always on time and on budget), but the truth of the matter was that he was a distant man, with a short attention span and no capacity for intimacy. The women who stayed the course with him (a surprising number) did so through palship, not passion. He wrote them great letters, but in the bedroom he was not so hot—even rather prudish.
Knowing all this about the man's emotional distance makes his final film all the more remarkable. It was an adaptation of James Joyce's great short story "The Dead" (1987). Huston had no business making it, as he was by this time in the terminal stages of the emphysema that had plagued him for decades. But make it he did, tethered to an oxygen tank. A sentimental film, about a man accepting the fact that his wife loves a lost lover more than she will ever love her perfectly decent husband, it is evidence of the gallantry that was—sometimes—part of Huston's better nature.
Huston had long since spoken his own best epitaph, in the finest of his late life acting jobs, as the rapacious power broker Noah Cross in Roman Polanski's "Chinatown" (1974): "You see, Mr. Gittes, most people never have to face the fact that at the right time and right place they're capable of anything." That surely was true in his case. He was not a great director; he was often not a very good one. He requires a better, more ironic, more cinematically knowing biographer than Jeffrey Meyers. But I guess this will have to do—when the truth becomes legend and all that stuff.
—Mr. Schickel's latest book is "Conversations With Scorsese."

CHICAGO -- Chicago Blackhawks forward Michal Handzus admitted Tuesday he hasn't been pleased with his play lately and needs to improve going forward.
Handzus has zero points and a minus-five rating over the Blackhawks' last eight games. He was taken off the second line recently and played the last two games centering the third line.
"I haven't played great," Handzus said after the Blackhawks' morning skate on Tuesday. "I've got to be better. I've just got to be better.
"I haven't skated really well. I haven't been hard on the pucks, too. I just need to work on it. Everything picks up after that. I thought last game was a little bit better. I just need to keep building and get better and get where I need to be."
Handzus said he understands the decision to remove him from the second line. He skated with Bryan Bickell and Kris Versteeg on the third line again during the morning skate on Tuesday.
"You're always disappointed when something doesn't work and should be working," Handzus said. "I was disappointed, but I understand it because I didn't play very well. I just have to worry about how I play and how I need to play and how I can help the team.
"[Line changes,] that's usually what happens when as a whole we didn't play as well the last 5-6 games. The changes kind of sparked us the last two games. I thought the last two periods we played better. Hopefully we're on our way up and I'm on my way up, too."
Quenneville also believes Handzus' play had improved in the Blackhawks' last game, a 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Quenneville said Handzus needed to especially keep up his pace to be effective.
"I thought he was much better last game whether it was off the stretch, off the break and coming back," Quenneville said. "I thought he had some good games. When his pace is a little bit off, it's noticeable. When he's on his game, he brings a lot to the table in playing the right way and some defensive responsibility for our team."
Neither Handzus, who was recently selected to play for Slovakia in the Olympics, does not believe he would benefit from sitting out the Olympics.
"I mean it can go both ways," Handzus said. "I remember the last Olympics I played and I was OK. I remember guys who take the two weeks off, and they couldn't get going for a month or a so. I think the travel is a little bit different. It's most concerning for everybody. I don't want worry about it that much."
Quenneville said he will be watching Handzus' minutes going into and coming out of the Olympics.
"I think with his situation he's excited about it," Quenneville said. "At his age and a chance to represent his country and a chance to be on a team that can surprise some people as well. We'll keep an eye on him as far as where he is at with rest and how his energy as we come out of it. Actually, something we're monitoring actually as we're going along here now. Take a closer look out of it. I think it'll be fun for him. He's excited to be playing with [Marian Hossa].
