Lincoln Center Film Society Announces RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA 2013 Lineup
The 18th edition of RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA, the Film Society of Lincoln Center and Unifrance Films' celebrated annual showcase of the best in contemporary French film, hits screens at The Film Society, the IFC Center and BAMcinématek, February 28 - March 10. French cinema is as varied and vital as ever in 2013, and the new edition of RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA covers the widest possible spectrum. This range includes grand and engaging entertainments such as Régis Roinsard's POPULAIRE, uncompromising auteurs such as Jean-Claude Brisseau and Damien Odoul, rising independent voices including Héléna Klotz and Shalimar Preuss, and master filmmakers François Ozon, Patrice Leconte, Raymond Depardon, Nicolas Philibert and the late Claude Miller.
Film Society of Lincoln Center Director of Programming, Year-round, Robert Koehler said, "This year's edition of RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA offers another entertaining and informative look at the current state of cinema by the French, with a celebration of fresh and upcoming talent behind the camera and today's prominent directors as well as a healthy nod to the film artists of the past. It is a varied and rich collection of films by a diverse group of filmmakers and actors, several of whom will be on hand for their screenings as well."
Highlights this year also include the animated feature The Day OF THE CROWS, an enchanting visualization of Jean-François Beauchemin's novel from director Jean-Christophe Dessaint and featuring the voices of Jean Reno, Lorànt Deutsch, Isabelle Carré and the late Claude Chabrol in his final film credit. François Ozon's cautionary tale, IN THE HOUSE (nominated at this year's César Awards for Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor) features the brilliant Fabrice Luchini as a frustrated author - married to gallerist Kristin Scott Thomas - who becomes swept up in the writing of a precocious student.
This year's lineup will also include the late Claude Miller's final film, Thérèse Desqueyroux, which elegantly adapts François Mauriac's modern classic of a woman's growing resistance to her suffocating marriage, and showcases a remarkable Audrey Tautou as the disturbed titular heroine. The 1962 original, directed by Georges Franju and starring Amour Academy Award Best Actress nominee Emmanuelle Riva, Philippe Noiret and Edith Scob, will also be screened. The festival will host the New York premiere of Gilles Bourdos' atmospheric drama RENOIR, which takes place in 1915, a pivotal time for master painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his son Jean, the legendary filmmaker.
In conjunction with the premiere of RENOIR, the films of Renoir fils receive a special focus in this year's Rendez-Vous with screenings of three of his masterworks at each of the festival's venues. The Film Society of Lincoln Center will show Renoir's classic THE RIVER, his first color film, presented in a gorgeously restored print, which remains a special and deeply emotional work in The Master filmmaker's oeuvre. The IFC Center presents a digital restoration of the master's beloved satire BOUDU SAVED FROM DROWNING, one of Renoir's most innovative early works. And BAM will screen THE RULES OF THE GAME, Jean Renoir's influential ensemble drama that is perennially ranked as one of the greatest films ever made.
An exciting addition to the RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA lineup this year will be a free Convergence event, ALT_MINDS and the Art of French Transmedia. One of Europe's leading transmedia designers, Eric Viennot, will present an adventure spanning a web series, mobile applications, and live events that thrust the audience into the heart of an action-packed thriller. Made possible with support from the French Cultural Services of the French Embassy.
This also marks the second year in a row collaborating with Emerging Pictures on a select number of titles. The films will screen in venues across the country contemporaneously with their showings at Lincoln Center via Emerging's network of digital theaters. Q&A's from the Film Society venues will be broadcast live to many of those locations. Titles and schedule to follow.
"For the 18th edition of RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA Unifrance films is happy to present a rich and varied line-up", says Régine Hatchondo, Executive Director of Unifrance films. "The success of this film festival is due to the faithful New York audiences and the tremendous efforts of our partners: the Film Society of Lincoln Center, IFC Center and BAM. We would like to also thank Emerging Pictures for their initiative, Rendez-Vous Near You, bringing a select number of the films to audiences across the country."
Filmmakers and talent who will be in attendance at this years festival include - Niels Arestrup (YOU WILL BE MY SON), Gilles Bourdos (RENOIR), Catherine Corsini (THREE WORLDS), Jean-Christophe Dessaint (THE DAY OF CROWS), Jacques Doillon (YOU, ME AND US), Romain Duris (POPULAIRE), Deborah François (POPULAIRE), Héléna Klotz (THE ATOMIC AGE), Gilles Legrand (YOU WILL BE MY SON), Patrick Mille (BAD GIRL), Annie Miller (producing partner and widow of THÉRÈSE DESQUEYROUX director Claude Miller), Guillaume Nicloux (THE NUN), François Ozon (IN THE HOUSE), Raphaël Personnaz (THREE WORLDS), Nicolas Philibert (LA MAISON DE LA RADIO), Ilmar Raag (A LADY IN PARIS), Régis Roinsard (POPULAIRE), Audrey Tautou (THÉRÈSE DESQUEYROUX) and Alice Winocour (AUGUSTINE).

Héléna Klotz, 2012, France, DCP; 68m
Arriving from the Paris outskirts for a round of weekend clubbing, good-looking Victor (Eliott Paquet) and his Central European friend Rainer (Dominik Wojcik) are full of self-confidence and a youthfully self-conscious hipness. But across the span of one night, their impulsive adventure tests emotional and physical limits the lads never before knew in Klotz's impressively mesmerizing feature debut. Winner of the 2012 Prix Jean Vigo. A TLA Releasing film.

Alice Winocour, 2012, France, 102m

A maid who suffers from seizures is sent to a mental hospital, where it seems she'll be condemned for life until Professor Charcot finds in her the possibilities of testing his advanced notions of the sources of so-called "hysteria." Soko as Augustine and Vincent Lindon as Charcot deliver astonishing performances. A Music Box Films release.

Boudu Saved From Drowning/Boudu Sauve' Des Eaux
Jean Renoir, 1932, France, 84 min.
Boudu (the irrepressible and unforgettable Michel Simon), a Parisian tramp, tries to end it all with a plunge into the river, only to be saved by a well-meaning bookseller. But when his rescuer offers him shelter, Boudu's anarchic charms rock the household to its foundations. Shot largely on location along the quays of the Seine, Renoir's freewheeling satire of bourgeois respectability is one of the master's most innovative early works; it remains, in The Words of critic Dave Kehr, "as informal, beguiling, and subversive as its eponymous hero." Screening in a digital restoration.
Sat. Mar. 2, 1:00pm - IFC
The Day of the Crows / Le jour des corneilles
Jean-Christophe Dessaint, 2012, France, 96m
Raised like a wild child in the woods by his bitter and fearsome father, a boy finds himself discovering the world beyond the forest in director Dessaint's enchanting visualization of Jean-Francois Beauchemin's novel. The sensitively rendered hand-drawn animation and depth of characterization seem like a tribute to the films of Hayao Miyazaki, and yet, this movie for all ages stands very much on its own. Featuring the voices of Jean Reno, Lorànt Deutsch, Isabelle Carré and the late Claude Chabrol in his final film credit.
Sat., Mar. 9, 1:00pm - WRT
In person: Jean-Christophe Dessaint
The Girl From Nowhere/La fille de nulle part
Jean-Claude Brisseau, 2012, France, 91m

Sat. Mar. 2, 2:45pm - IFC; Sun. Mar. 10, 2:30pm - WRT

Bruno Podalydès, 2012, France, 100m
Although he made no effort to see his grandmother in her waning years, pharmacist Armand (director Podalydès' brother and co-writer Denis) must now deal with her funeral arrangements. This is awkward enough, but nothing like his emotional swings between a wife he can't quite part from and a lover he can't quite commit to, in a comedy stamped with the Podalydès brand of caustic, Gallic wit. With Valérie Lemercier, Isabelle Candelier, Catherine Hiegel and Benoît Hamon.
Fri. Mar. 1, 9:45pm - IFC; Sun. Mar. 3, 8:15pm - WRT; Mon. Mar. 4, 3:45pm - WRT

On September 13th last year I fought on the AFL show. I had a match arranged at under 70kg, however when I arrived I was told that my opponent had pulled out and I had been put up against Gavin Gwyn.
Gavin fought usually around 77kg, however Mike Swambo told me he had cut right down to almost 70kg. Mike said he would make the match a title bout. So ive agreed.
When we got into the cage it was evident he was a lot bigger than 70kg, but at this point I just wanted to fight. I had travelled up from London and didn't want to let all the training and my support's time to have been wasted. We touched gloves and went to war, it was a hard fought match and after 2 rounds I was given the unnanimous decision and therefore the title.
I was never given the title belt because they didnt have it at the time being the last minute thing , but i was promised it would be posted to me within a few weeks. Its been almost 4 months now and after numerous emails and phone calls I havn't recieved my title belt.
The belt is obviously a big part of my career and me growing as a mixed martial artist, it is a display of the success I achieved (at whatever scale) after all the training and hard work.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can actually get my belt?
Thanks Anton

CERRITOS - There were times during Wednesday night's Valley Christian Tournament game that Mayfair High's girls basketball team played very well.
When they handled North Torrance's backcourt pressure and got into their transition offense, the Monsoons were talented and athletic, especially with 6-foot posts Aisha Baldwin and La Shay Gray running the floor and finishing.
Those moments, however, were few and far between for Mayfair in a 56-36 pool-play loss to the Saxons. Under constant pressure from North Torrance's guards, the Monsoons turned the ball over 19 times in the first half and were outscored 18-0 in a stretch that spanned the end of the first quarter and part of the second.
"We just weren't consistent tonight," first-year Mayfair coach Joe Pacheco said of his team, which returns just two varsity players from last year. "We showed some good signs but we have to be consistent."
Those good signs included the play of Baldwin and Gray, who combined for 29 points and 23 rebounds. Baldwin, a junior, led the team with 15 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks. Gray, a senior, scored two breakaway buckets after long inbound passes and added a pair of blocks.
Mayfair (1-2) simply fell into too deep a hole early in the game to recover. After taking a brief 4-2 lead on Baldwin's first basket of the game, the Monsoons didn't score again until early in the second quarter.
The Saxons (6-1) received six first-quarter points from Kara Shimasaki and five from Patricia Macatugal to take a commanding 18-4 lead after one quarter.
"We can't play catch-up like that," Pacheco said.
Mayfair was more competitive after the first quarter and was only outscored 38-32 the rest of the way. A Trinity Edwards free throw cut North's lead to nine at 22-13 in the second, and a bucket from Arynna Sanz cut the margin to nine again at 26-17 later in the quarter.
The Saxons, however, ended the half with consecutive 3-pointers from Shimasaki and Kelsey Lee and took a 32-17 lead into intermission. The Monsoons cut the lead to 10 twice in the third, but never got closer.
"We played brilliant at times," Pacheco said, "but we've just got to play better."
Shimasaki led the Saxons with 18 points and Lauren Takata added 13, including a pair of 3-point shots in tRhe third quarter.
After a day off today, Mayfair returns to pool play at 8 p.m. on Friday against La Serna. North will face Palmdale at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Nearly one year after launching an initiative to help create more job opportunities for people with disabilities in Connecticut, 62 participants have completed training under the Walgreens Retail Employees with Disabilities Initiative program, the retailer announced on Wednesday.
The program's goal: To prepare qualified candidates for employment at Walgreens retail locations, as well as employment with other retailers that require similar skills. Of those who completed training, 17 have already obtained jobs at Walgreens locations throughout Connecticut.
Walgreens launched REDI in the state on Nov. 1, 2011. The in-store extern training program aims to help people with disabilities gain retail and customer service skills, and works closely with community organizations and vocational rehabilitation agencies to train and develop candidates. Walgreens is working with the state's Bureau of Rehabilitation Services to assist with training for the REDI program. The program prepares participants for responsibilities that include cash register operations, customer service, merchandising, store inventory and maintaining store signage and displays.
This May, Walgreens launched the REDI program nationally. The first phase of REDI includes parts of Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin, with plans to reach all states by the end of 2013. Once a local agency is identified, there is a four-week training program that takes place in up to five stores per district. The REDI pilot began in Dallas/Fort Worth in 2010. After more than 200 trainees completed the program, 66% of whom were recommended for hire, the program grew to more than 60 stores throughout Texas, New York and Connecticut.
To date, more than 400 candidates have completed REDI training. Of those, 66% of trainees acquired the full skill-set needed to perform a service clerk position in a similar retail setting. Walgreens has hired nearly 130 people.
This month, Walgreens was named 2012 Employer of the Year by the U.S. Business Leadership Network. The organization is a national nonprofit, nonpartisan business-to-business network promoting workplaces, marketplaces and supply chains where people with disabilities are included. Walgreens received this honor for its continued commitment to helping people with disabilities develop productive and successful careers.
Walgreens Distribution Centers
Walgreens began designing its distribution center facilities and training for people with disabilities with the opening of its DC in Anderson, S.C., in 2007. The new DC, followed by the opening of another similar facility in Windsor, Conn., in 2009, helps drive opportunity, efficiency and productivity for the entire workforce. At the Connecticut facility, more than 40% of the workforce consists of people with disabilities.

Disney to Give 'Beauty and The Beast' Live-Action Makeover
By Hannah Perrin
A tale as old as time is heading back to the big screen.
After Maleficent soared to No. 1 at the box office grossing more than $170 million globally, Variety revealed on Wednesday Disney will be creating a live-action version of the beloved, Beauty and The Beast.
The animated film was released in 1991, earned a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards, and was later adapted to Broadway in 1994 earning over $375 million world-wide.
Bill Condon, known for directing The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, will helm the live-action adaption and the script will be written by Evan Spiliotopoulos. Mandeville Films will produce the movie.
While we might have to wait a little longer for this beast to become a prince, you can get your Disney-fill in their other live-action adaptions set to hit theaters, Cinderella and The Jungle Book.

Headache or not, I need to eat and my sweet husband has very limited culinary skills (with the exception of his Weber grilling skills-- and he rocks with that). So, when I want to make something fast, it's usually pasta. I always have pasta on hand, and so I decided to make Ina Garten's Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, from her cookbook "How Easy Is That?"
Now, add one cup of fresh Parmesan and fresh chopped Italian parsley. Pretty. On a whim, I added some lemon zest to the pasta, to complement the shrimp.
TASTING NOTES: Yum. Mmmm. Delicious. The garlic is sweet, and not overpowering. This satisfies my need for food, and my husband loves it, as well. This is super fast, and easy fast dinner for those nights when you don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Love this! I think that, if you make this once, you really don't need a recipe. Super Easy, Super Delicious!
How easy is that?!
Off to get a good night's rest-- Monday morning comes really fast. A printable recipe card is at the end of this post.
I always post a printable recipe card at the end of each recipe post. If you cannot view it, you might be using an older version of Internet Explorer. You should be able to view my recipe cards with Safari, Mozilla, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here.

Paul Gauguin
REUTERS/Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow
News about Paul Gauguin, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
Highlights from the Archives
The Colors of Paradise As Imagined by Gauguin
When Paul Gauguin sailed from Marseille for Tahiti on April 1, 1891, he was confident of finding a terrestrial paradise with natives living in sensual harmony with nature and ancient deities. But the reality was painfully different. In the 19th century, traditional Tahitian culture had gradually been smothered by Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries and by French colonial administrators. Dismayed, Gauguin devoted the next 12 years to recreating in paintings, sculptures and engravings this paradise lost -- in his mind, an idyllic world of naked maidens, lush landscapes and strange spirits.October 14, 2003 artsNews
A New York Bouquet of Gauguin
Gauguin developed fast. The still-learning, largely self-taught painter of a Cézannesque still life in 1883 was, half a dozen years later, a highly individualistic artist. By then, he had claimed art as his destiny, separated from his family and begun to immerse himself in exotic environments.June 21, 2002 artsReview
Irritation as Inspiration
The basic story is familiar by now from Hollywood movies and old paperback novels. Van Gogh and Gauguin met in Paris in 1887. Both had dreamy plans about starting a commune of artists.October 4, 2001 artsNews
Gauguin Revealed From Myth to Muse
Paul Gauguin is a magnetic artist, not least because of his well-known life story -- or at least the outlines of that story. Gauguin was dedicated to nothing less than rejecting western civilization, and he proved it by giving up his conventional bourgeois life to go to the South Seas.February 18, 2001 nyregionNews
The Artist as a Freewheeling Heel
Like his friend and colleague Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin has suffered the fate of the artist who achieves enormous posthumous fame in our celebrity-conscious age: even as his paintings have skyrocketed in value, his life has been mythologized, reduced to a flimsy caricature of bohemian rebellion.March 5, 1996 artsReview
Just Where Did Gauguin Become Gauguin?
The fact is that Gauguin became Gauguin not among the sun-drenched Polynesians but earlier, among the Bretons, back in France, where natives do their fishing in the icy North Atlantic.September 18, 1994 artsReview
A Show Equal To an Artist Larger Than Life
Who but Gauguin pioneered our century's faith in so-called primitive art as an energizing and liberating force? Who but he set color free, once and for all, from the drudgery of description? Who but he pioneered the notion of the line whose every direction has a different emotional significance?May 8, 1988 artsNews

Washington • America's not going over the fiscal cliff, as the House of Representatives Tuesday approved the last-minute deal to pull the nation away from the brink of economic chaos.
The vote came quick and without much controversy, a calm and collegial finish to a turbulent day. The House approved the measure by a vote of 257-167 and sent it to President Barack Obama for his signature.
"Thanks to the votes of Democrats and Republicans in Congress, I will sign a law that raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while preventing a middle class tax hike that could've sent the economy back into recession and obviously had a severe impact on families all across America," Obama said at the White House.
Immediately after talking to reporters, Obama left the White House to fly back to Hawaii, resuming the vacation he suspended after Christmas to return to the capital for budget talks.
In the Congress, Republicans vowed to press on in the weeks ahead to cut spending in ways they could not in the fiscal cliff deal.
"Now the focus turns to spending," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement after the vote. "The American people re-elected a Republican majority in the House, and we will use it in 2013 to hold the president accountable for the 'balanced' approach he promised, meaning significant spending cuts and reforms to the entitlement programs that are driving our country deeper and deeper into debt."
Reluctant House Republicans, concerned the plan had too few spending cuts and not enough meaningful debt reduction, had threatened to stymie the plan. Their fury was fueled further by a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that the package would add $3.97 trillion to deficits over the next decade.
But they also came to realize that scuttling the package could instantly put the nation's slowly improving economy in jeopardy. Tax rates had already gone up Tuesday, and automatic spending cuts were scheduled to kick in Wednesday.
In private meetings Tuesday, Republicans expressed concern that once domestic financial markets re-open after the New Year's Day holiday Wednesday, reaction to legislative gridlock could be severe. It's a risk, said Rep. John Fleming, R-La., "we all recognize."
As a result, the debate became a virtual celebration of bipartisan agreement. "After more than a decade of criticizing these tax cuts, Democrats are finally joining Republicans in making these tax cuts permanent," said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., lauded the bill as a "very, very strong first step as we go into the new year."
The legislation, passed by the Senate 89 to 8 Tuesday morning, will postpone the automatic spending cuts for two months. Individuals making more than $400,000 - $450,000 for families - would pay a top income tax rate of 39.6 percent, up from the current 35 percent. Others would pay at 2012 rates.
The plan also ties the alternative minimum tax to inflation, a relief for an estimated 30 million taxpayers who could have been hit with higher bills. Other measures include an extension of jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed and avoiding a huge cut in Medicare payments to doctors for a year.
The vote in the House came after a day of furious closed-door lobbying - and arm-twisting. Vice President Joe Biden met for two hours with House Democrats. At the same time, Republicans met privately twice, for a total of nearly three hours. They heard opposition from Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., who has a strong following among conservatives. "There was a lot of discontent in that room," said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio.
The congressional turmoil was no surprise. Republicans have long been unhappy with Democrats' reluctance to agree to big spending cuts, and were not pleased the latest deal delayed the automatic cuts.
"This does nothing about getting the $16.4 trillion debt under control, said Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio.
Republicans made a last-ditch effort to pass more spending cuts, offering to consider the same package of $328 billion in cuts that passed on a party-line vote Dec. 20, but could not muster enough support Tuesday. Many Republicans worried that attaching the measure would never make it through the Senate, putting the entire fiscal cliff deal at risk.
"We don't want to do anything in the House that would create a poison pill for the Senate," said Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho.
Few lawmakers in either party seemed happy with the plan, as the unease Tuesday crossed party and ideological lines.
"This punts the problem," said Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz. "It just sets us up for more fights."
But few dissenters spoke during the debate. Rep. James Moran, D-Va., said the bill will "set up three more fiscal cliffs," including fights over raising the debt ceiling and the sequester and said "and all that's left is the spending cuts. What programs do we cut and how deep? We're going to look back on this night and regret it."
House Republicans were not pleased that they had virtually no input into the deal, crafted by Biden and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
LaTourette called the plan "a package by a bunch of sleep-deprived octogenarians."
The loudest protests came from the 87 Republican freshmen first elected in 2010, swept into office on a pledge to drastically slash federal spending.
"There is a resignation that the big steps forward my class wanted to take is not possible with this Congress," said Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga. "Only small steps forward are absolutely possible."
Whether he and others could accept such small steps was the key to approving the deal. Veteran Republicans argued the package was as good as they were going to get.
"Let's recognize we avoided what could have been a terrible outcome," said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla.
He urged resisting changes. "It's too late in the game," he said. "You can keep tinkering with this, but you're not going to make it perfect."
Economy still likely to take a hit
Lawmakers managed to avoid driving the United States over the so-called fiscal cliff with a late-night vote Tuesday. But higher taxes and brinksmanship in Washington are likely to sap strength from the fragile economy well into 2013.
The law will raise taxes on individual incomes over $400,000 and household incomes over $450,000, on investment profits and dividends, and on the portion of estates that exceeds $5 million. Those higher taxes on the wealthy are likely slow the economy a little bit.
But a bigger drag on the economy will come from a tax hike Democrats and Republicans didn't even bothering to fight over: the end of a two-year Social Security tax cut.
The so-called payroll tax is scheduled to bounce back up to 6.2 percent this year from 4.2 percent in 2011 and 2012, amounting to a $1,000 tax increase for someone earning $50,000 a year.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, calculates that the higher payroll tax will reduce economic growth by 0.6 percentage points in 2013.

Our Daily Correspondent
MicromégasBy Sadie Stein
Many of my closest friends are sick of hearing my "theory of aliens." This is not a political stance, but rather a strong opinion about extraterrestrials. For much of my life, I've had a faint aversion to aliens. I didn't like movies or X-Files episodes that dealt with them; I avoided science-fiction stories featuring life on other planets; I couldn't even get into the campy, genre-defying sidekick on Futurama. (And yes, we all understand that from the time of Voltaire, and later Wells, the alien invasion narrative has been an allegory for the threat of military hegemony—from Eastern powers, specifically.)
This was not about whether or not aliens existed. If pressed, I guess I would have said probably not, but that wasn't even the issue: they could have existed, and shown up, and done a bunch of amateur proctology, and I'd still have been averse. From what I could gather, aliens had no sense of humor, and no interests besides probing and machinery.
Then I was watching Gravity, and I thought, Hmm, even though these are pretend astronauts, I could never be an astronaut. And then I thought, But maybe most of the aliens on other planets couldn't be astronauts either! And then came the real revelation: Maybe the aliens we meet are just the nerds of outer space!

Is it easier or harder being a mum today?Being a mum is a tough job, but more than half of you think it's easier to be a mum now than in your own mother's day. And even more of you – seven out of 10 – are convinced that motherhood is easier for you than it was for your grandmothers.
Mums working outside of the home full-time aren't so convinced, though. More than 60 per cent feel that being a mum today is harder than it was for our mothers' generation.
The best things about being a mum today...All mums agree on one thing: dads. One of the best things about being a mum today is that men are expected to share more of the childcare responsibilities. Two-thirds of you think that this is one of the main advantages of being a mum today compared with when our mothers had children. Mums who work at home full-time feel even more strongly about this.
Activities for children such as baby gym, music and swimming classes have transformed modern parenting. More than half of stay-at-home mums feel that having more of these options is one of the best things about being a mum today.
Not surprisingly, the second most popular answer from full-time working mums is that it's more acceptable for mums to work outside of the home.
And the worst thingsSo what are the worst things about being a mum today compared with when our mothers had young children? This is one subject on which you're divided.
- Full-time working mums say "feeling the pressure or needing to work outside of the home."
- Mums who work part-time outside the home cite increased money worries.
- Mums working full-time from home say, "the increase in materialism and consumerism".
- Stay-at-home mums and mums who work from home part-time, meanwhile, say "having to protect children from media influences, such as sex and violence".
Challenging times for mumsBeing a mum today is certainly not without its challenges. For mums working full-time, the biggest challenge is balancing work and family life. Stay-at-home mums, meanwhile, say that the most challenging part of being a mother is finding time for themselves.
Do modern mums feel under pressure to look good after childbirth? If you do, it's pretty low on your list of concerns. Fewer than one in five of you listed this as one of your greatest challenges.
What do mums today worry about?What issues keep mums awake at night? In terms of your child's future, your greatest worry is that someone will hurt or attack your child. Many of you also worry that your child will be killed or injured in a car accident.
Mums who work full-time are slightly more concerned about how economic problems, such as housing affordability, inflation and lower wages, might affect their child's future.
In a post-9/11 world, war and conflict came low on the list of mums' concerns. Fewer than one in 10 of you cited this as a major worry, and just three per cent are concerned over the use of nuclear weapons.
When it comes to day-to-day issues, the age-old problem of balancing work and family reared its head. This is a particular worry for seven out of 10 full-time working mums.
Many of you also worry about your child's development and whether they're keeping up with their peers. Getting your child to eat a nutritious diet is another significant cause of concern.
Mummy guiltWe asked what made you feel the most "mummy guilt". Answers were so varied, perhaps we should have asked what doesn't make you feel mummy guilt!
Many of you said that shouting at your child made you feel guilty. Others felt bad about not breastfeeding for long enough, or at all. Some of you were worried that you're not stimulating your child's development enough, or that you're not spending enough time with him or her.
Working outside of the home is the greatest cause of mummy guilt for working mums.
If you could have more of just one thing…The best things in life might be free, but most mums would like more money! We asked mums what they would like more of from a list that included friends, money, love, good looks, nice things, energy and sleep. Money came out top overall, and was the first choice of part-time working mums and stay-at-home mums.
Not surprisingly perhaps, mums who work full-time would choose to have more time.

Funny joke
A wife decides to take her husband to a strip club for his birthday.
They arrive at the club and the doorman says, "Hey, Dave! How ya doin'?"
His wife is puzzled and asks if he's been to this club before.
"Oh, no," says Dave. "He's on my bowling team."
When they are seated, a waitress asks Dave if he'd like his usual and brings over a Budweiser.
His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says,"How did she know that you drink Budweiser?"
"She's in the Ladies' Bowling League, honey. We share lanes with them.
A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Dave, and says "Hi Davey. Want your usual table dance, big boy?"
Dave's wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club.
Dave follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside her. He tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else, but his wife is having none of it. She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him every name in the book.
The cabby turns his head and says, "Looks like you picked up a real bitch tonight, Dave."

Another Funny
I was at the range last night and as I left I said I guess I'd go home and make the wife mad. On of the guys setting there said the week before had been his 20th aniversary. He said he told his wife that he was going to take her to Paris, France for her aniversary. She got excited and said "Oh Honey, Really?" He said "sure, and I'll come back and get ya on our 50th". I know how that would have went over at my house. This was a very brave man!!Doc

a long one, but probably my favorite joke ever...
A young salesman goes into a country store and an old salt was talking about how good duck hunting has been lately. Well this salesman asks the old guy if he could go with him as he has never been duck hunting. They meet the next morning set out decoys but it turns out to be a bluebird day-nothing flying. The old salt then says- I'll send my lab out to the right as there is another small pond and he will tell us if there are any ducks there. So the lab takes off and comes back and paws the ground 1 time. What does that mean? asks the young guy- It means there is 1 duck over there. So they get up and sneak over to the pond and the duck flies up and boom-they got the duck. Back to the blind and nothing again for 2 hours so the old guy sends the lab to the left and he comes back and paws the ground twice. There are 2 ducks out there the old guy says so they sneak over there and sure enough 2 ducks get up and boom-boom they got the ducks. Now this young guy was really impressed with this lab so after hunting he tells the old timer I'll give you 5 thousand for that dog as I plan to do alot of duck hunting the rest of my life. Well the old guy could surely use the money so he sold the dog. Well a year goes by and the salesman goes into that country store and sees the old guy who asks how is my dog doing. The young guy says that dog is not worth a sh__, The old guy can't believe it so they arrange to go duck hunting the next morning. Another bluebird day-nothing flying so the young guy sends the lab out to the right to check out the small pond. Well the lab comes back with a stick in his mouth shaking his head and trying to hump the blind. See that the young guy says- ever since I bought that dog that is all he does-brings back sticks etc. The old guy finally says son- that dog is trying to tell you that there are more fu__ing ducks over there than you can shake a stick at!

Hey everyone,
I'm using Backtrack 5, R3 and an Alfa AWUS036NHR adaptor. It seems to work fine, and I can put it to monitor mode and I've succesfully used (e.g.) Reaver a few times. However, I can't seem to connect to (encrypted) wireless networks, at least using Wicd. I've enabled encryption in my network's properties, tried both PSK and Pass Phrase, and I'm sure it's the right password, but it always returns a 'Bad Password' error. I'm using the wext wpa supplicant driver (as recommended).
Many of the solutions in threads covering the same problem simply cause Wicd to stop interacting with my adaptor and not show networks at all anymore, so I'm running out of ideas. Any assistance would be appreciated!
Think like a criminal and act as a professional.
I get this error as well sometimes. Is it possible to use a different networkmanager? If yes, which do you recommend?
What exactly was running it virtually going to do to fix the drivers issue?
apt-get install -y NHR_actually_connect_to_a_network
getting tired of this card quick.
have you tried using wep encryption?..Try it..If it works we might be looking at a possible bug with WPA-WPA2, wicd and rtl8188RU chipset..
Also you might want to download BT5r1 and see if wpa-wpa2 works...
try it and post.
Try again what you did (restarting the router) . See if it works again..Also reboot the machine.
Please post your wifi card, chipset and BT5 version used (r1, r2, r3 and .ISO, VM, USB)
Thanx for the update.

Looking back, our writing seems disjointed and without the structure or social awareness that is expected from a polished status update. Journals are the only places,...Continue Reading >>

"We made a bold commitment earlier this year to deliver mission-critical applications on the SAP HANA platform and we have reached that goal with our own CRM solution powered by SAP HANA," said Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board, Technology & Innovation. "SAP HANA, with its completely in-memory, massively parallel design since inception, has brought breakthrough performance for OLTP, OLAP and unstructured data apps in one platform. Following up on delivery of SAP Business One on SAP HANA in the third quarter, we have now demonstrated the mission-critical OLTP capabilities of SAP HANA by delivering SAP CRM on SAP HANA. I am also proud that we have delivered application services in SAP HANA, thereby collapsing the divide between application services and database and optimizing across layers, a true example of timeless software."
SAP HANA SPS5 to Collapse Layers to Enable Real-Time Enterprise
New features in SAP HANA will help further eliminate the inherent latency and complexity that exist in today's application architecture. Converging data and application processing all within one in-memory platform architecture will help companies gain insight in real time. Key features in SAP HANA will include:
SAP HANA Platform for Large-Scale Data Center Deployment
With SAP HANA SPS5, SAP plans to expand support for SAP HANA deployments in enterprise data centers for 24/7 operation. To illustrate the readiness of SAP HANA for large scale out deployment, SAP has published a white paper, "SAP HANA Petabyte Performance," which details the performance of SAP HANA conducting queries against 1 petabyte of enterprise data containing 10 years of transactional history holding 1.2 trillion records.

24 Hour Compliance - X1 xDrive28i
Hi folks-
Well, I didn't post in advance, but I've certainly been a lurker and have benefited from everyone's advice - so I suppose I still am required to fulfill my 12 hour compliance obligations
A bit of background - I ordered an X1 xDrive28i to replace my Mini Cooper S, which I've sadly begun to outgrow through home ownership. (It's just not cutting it for Ikea trips and mulch hauling...) Unlike many of you, who are planning epic vacations, European Delivery for me was entirely about the cost savings; I travel extremely frequently and am sitting on a gold mine of frequent flier miles, so "you can save over $2000 on your car and simplify the buying process - and all you need to do is show up in Munich" sounded like a pretty good deal to me
I e-mailed a bunch of Bimmerfest sponsors for European Delivery quotes - and while everyone was very helpful I actually ended up getting the best deal from my local dealer, BMW Seattle. I worked directly with Mark Harrington, on the suggestion of a few old threads, and I was not disappointed - he was extremely professional throughout the whole process. I was pleasantly surprised to find the best deal locally, and I'd recommend him without any reservation. He's a real class act.
I ordered in mid-October, so I only had to wait about 35 days between ordering and delivery here in Munich. I was really pleased they were able to work me in so quickly - waiting is the worst part of ED, and because I'm really just in it for the cost savings, I wanted to start the export process as quickly as possible. Unfortunately I will be turning the car in to LOGINOUT tomorrow - I'm only here in Munich for two days
I spent almost the entire day at the Welt today. I wish I could say it was a fantastic experience all around, but unfortunately it was decidedly mixed. On one hand, there were many positives: the premium lounge was nice (hooray for the most expensive beer and pretzel I've ever had), and I made some fantastic new friends with another couple who was getting their own X1 delivered at the same time as mine. (Our cars were even both black - twins! You can see them both in the picture below - mine's the xDrive in the back and theirs is the sDrive in the front. That's the difference between San Francisco and Seattle weather )
I also liked the factory tour, which was informative and extensive. A bit of a bummer, we weren't able to see the assembly line due to construction - but they substituted a tour of the engine line instead, which was nearly as interesting. It was striking how dense and space-conscious the Munich factory was compared to the Spartanburg one - honestly, I'm surprised they continue to build vehicles here rather than relocating to somewhere with more available land.
Unfortunately, all the goodness was overshadowed by the delivery experience itself. I felt that my delivery advisor was, to put it bluntly, rude. In sharp contrast to all the other staff I encountered, he was pushy and I felt rushed the entire time - like I was stuck in some high pressure sales pitch. (He even made a big show of checking the time on his iPad throughout the experience.)
He was also dismissive of my questions about the vehicle, particularly those related to customizations. I had assumed that delivery at the BMW Welt would be the best opportunity to ask detailed questions about the car from experts and get my preferences stored in the vehicle; instead, I was brushed off, and I felt like I knew more about the car than he did even from my cursory research. For example, he claimed BMW Apps are currently compatible with Android, and he insisted there was no way to disable auto start/stop by default and add a digital speedometer readout, both things I know can be coded. Perhaps he meant that these things were not possible at the Welt but that in itself is disappointing - I thought I had heard that customization assistance was possible in Spartanburg at the performance center, so I expected the same at the Welt. He did suggest that I speak with my dealer when I returned home; he also promised to check with his supervisor on some of these issues, but didn't actually follow through.
But I wouldn't have likely mentioned those concerns had another incident not happened: the thing that stuck with me the most was an attempted joke he made during the pre-delivery vehicle briefing that I found very offensive. I won't repeat it here; I'm not sure why he thought it would be appropriate, but I ended up just standing there stunned not knowing how to react.
Anyway, enough dwelling on the negative - the car is great as long as I remember to push the ASS button every time I start it. Very cool to see the car delivered with one mile on the odometer... thankfully I thought to take a photo before pulling out of the showroom. It's a shame I won't do much with it in Germany except drive it to the airport and drop it off - I would have liked to get a real road trip in, but schedules didn't make that possible this time around. Maybe next time with an M3?
Oh and the obligatory pictures:
All in all I'd totally do it again. I might skip the optional briefing beforehand in the future - I didn't find it valuable at all in acquainting me with my car, it felt much more like a timeshare presentation about the BMW brand - and skip straight to the delivery. But all in all I really enjoyed the experience and am excited about my new ride!
and thanks again to the forum for all the advice!_a_
Optional Briefing
Thanks for the report. Two questions. How long did the optional briefing take? Also, wouldn't your dealer hook up the ODBII cable free? Thanks!
Congrats! That's sad to hear about your delivery specialist -- I believe that almost warrants a follow up with BMW ED department just to let them know. Definitely not to be expected. Glad to see that you took it in stride.
Glad you had a good experience, too bad the delivery 'specialist' was up to the occasion... Now, personally 'German + Humor' is not something that I tend to use in the same sentece but being rude and rushing is not acceptable.
A couple of things, though...On the 'customizations' he might've been just giving you the company line or what he knew...for example, on coding... Coding is something that 'some of us crazies' do, kind of gray area ...not particularly endorsed by BMW so while the functionality exists to put the digital speedo readout on the instrument cluster, I wouldn't expect a BMW employee to tell me 'yeah you can do that with coding'. Btw they definitely can't do that at delivery.
MSA (ASS) has been used in Europe for a while now, where people is more 'open' to this kind of technology (wouldn't you if you paid $10 a gallon for gas?). Besides the TSB is most likely issued for US dealerships only. Once again, not somethign they can do at the Welt.
BTW... not many ppl know but * You can also disable MSA by moving the shift lever to 'sport/manual' position * instead of hitting MSA ON/OFF button...You can do that until the dealership can 'fix' it back in the states...
All they can do is set up your nav or hook up your iphone...things you can do via idrive. Btw, the same goes for the Performance Center....The only difference is that at PCD the 'expert' spends two hours going through every single button/option in the car as opposed to the 20/30 mins they take at the Welt where they have a tighter schedule. So it may not be *ALL* his fault (other than the bad joke).
I took the factory tour and didn't like it all that much...found it boring compared to Spartanburg where you get to walk next to the assembly line. I might've been interested in seeing the engine assembly line though...they build the RR and BMW V12's in Munich. It is impressive how they started building 'up' due to the lack of space!
Enjoy the new car!

Our delivery guy at the Welt was Guido and he was ok. A 6.75 on a 1 - 10 scale. Almost good, but just short of that. The experience didn't feel up to par with the staff on the concierge level of a grand hotel or First Class on an Oil Sheik airline or Asian carrier.
The Welt as a physical place was spectacular and impressive, the overall experience was very cool. I just expected more on the delivery portion, with a $100k car. They do move a lot of vehicles through the place though.
When we got home, our sales guy's Gary and Al ended up spending a bunch of time helping us load favorite tunes into the system, going over all of the electronics again, great bunch at Alderson. I think they spent like another hour and a half on re-delivery. We will do ED again!
Sorry to hear your delivery specialist was not up to snuff.
