This page has been accessed since 29 May 1996.
I began this book because, as a student of
theatre and a child of the television age, I believe that television, the most
ubiquitous form of entertainment in the
The study did have to be limited: television is an extremely broad area covering news, sports, public affairs, information, advertising, and, of course, entertainment. I elected to confine my study to commercial prime-time (8:00 - 11:00 pm) television, and the form of programming called the situation comedy.
There were two things I wanted to accomplish with this study: 1) trace the development of the situation comedy from 1950 to 1993; and 2) develop a set of criteria describing the situation comedy in the various forms it assumes, based in general on more than 40 years of observation, in specific on the study of hundreds of examples, and the application of two sets of principles, the neo-Aristotelian principles of drama, and the six criteria I found for comedy. The two sets of principles are considered separately because the neo-Aristotelian may be applied to any television program, while the principles of comedy should apply only in the case of comedy programs.
The neo-Aristotelian principles I used for my study were action, character, thought, spectacle, music and diction. The elements of comedy were: 1)the action appeals to the intellect rather than the emotions; 2)the action is inherently human; 3)the beings carrying out the comic action behave in a mechanical manner; 4) there is an established set of societal norms; 5) the comic actions are incongruous to the norms; and 6) the action is perceived as harmless by the audience.
The trends in situation comedies since 1950 show a move toward a more liberal attitude about subjects of humor. In other words, in the element of thought, instead of societal norms such as a-woman's-place-is-in- the-home, or horses-can't-talk, or the-man-is- the-master, as in the 1950s and 1960s, the norms used in many situation comedies today are attitudes about sex, violence, racism, and other subjects that didn't even exist in early television comedy. The field of permissible subjects has greatly widened, illustrating that ideas and thinking have replaced pat situations with pat resolutions.
The situation comedy can be divided into three types: the actcom, the domcom, and the dramedy, each type characterized by differences in their fundamental elements of action, character, and thought.
The actcom, the original and most numerous type of sitcom, has the following characteristics:
1. The plots are action-oriented, and based on personal crises of a superficial nature.
2. The characters are not complex: few motivations are shown, and the characters are consistent and predictable in action and thought. The main characters are central to every plot, and are the masterminds of schemes to solve the problems and leaders of the action. Supporting characters are not necessary to all plots, are followers and not leaders, and are often dupes and butts of jokes.
3. Writers use no specific themes, the plots written for the purpose of provoking laughter, not to communicate ideas. The characters are superficial in thought, clever rather than intelligent, and show a lack of foresight or consideration of future consequences of their actions.
4. The settings are strictly backgrounds to action, with little sense of personality, either of their own or of the characters inhabiting them.
The domcom has the following characteristics:
1. The plots are character-oriented and based on domestic crises. The first segment of an episode is much like an actcom, but at the point of crisis, character and thought supercede action as the consequences of the action on the character are examined.
2. The characters are complex, with multiple and conflicting emotions and complex motivations. The main characters are emotionally stable and loving, and desire to instill moral values without stifling the personal growth and experience of their children. Supporting characters include the children, who are usually the bearers of the problem, and other who are used mainly as comic intensification and as a sounding board for the main characters.
3. The writer usually has a theme based on intra- or interpersonal relationships, in particular those related to children growing up and maturing in a social world. The characters are usually rational, although their thinking is sometimes clouded by emotion, with attempts at understanding complex issues. They are also usually conscious of future consequences of their actions, consequences that are very important in their future planning.
4. The settings are again a background to the action, but they are much more personalized and in keeping with the personalities of the characters who inhabit them. The setting is almost invariably a home, either a house, or an apartment, comfortable and middle-class.
A dramedy, the rarest type of sitcom, has the following characteristics:
1. The plots are thought-oriented, and examine the effects on characters when they are confronted with societal ills such as warfare or crime, or problems with which they are not equipped, either through training or background, to cope.
2. The characters are generally complex, with multiple and conflicting emotions, complex and mixed motivations, and a sense of self-reliant dependence on each other. In a human dramedy, the characters are concerned with the problems of others, and are generally humanistic and moderate on their view of life, society, and rules. In an advocate dramedy, the characters are concerned with themselves rather than others, and in general are selfish and self-centered, their own thoughts, beliefs and actions, to their minds, superior to all others and the only ones worthy of consideration.
3. The writers always employ a theme, try to communicate an idea, although it is not always a humorous one, that explores a point of view about some subject, usually one related to the effects of stressful situations on human beings. The characters in a human dramedy are constantly thinking, although their thoughts are occasionally clouded by prejudice or preconception. Eventually they achieve understanding, even if they do not embrace a new point of view. They are intelligent, witty, imaginative, and clever. The characters in an advocate dramedy appear to react by conditioned response rather than by thoughtful analysis of a situation. They are argumentative, but are dogmatic rather than reasonable.
4. The settings are backgrounds specialized to the format of the program, and often personalized according to the personalities of the inhabitants. The settings serve to establish the ambiance in which the characters cope with the problems with which they are presented.
The plots in all three types of situation comedy provide four of the six basic criteria for comedy: societal norms, incongruity, appeal to intellect rather than emotion, and the perception by the audience that the occurrences are essentially harmless.
Actcoms show physical actions that are incongruous with reality as perceived by society. Domcoms illustrate the effects on characters of behavior incongruous with the established norms of behavior. The dramedy holds societal norms up for examination by illustrating them in extreme cases. In the case of the dramedy, some occurrences cannot be perceived as harmless, and consequently are not humorous.
The characters in all three types of situation comedy provide the final two criteria for humor: they are inherently human, and, for the most part, they react in a mechanical manner to stimuli.
In recent years, some shows are blurring the line between one type of situation comedy and another. As mentioned earlier, some actcoms, such as CHEERS, mature into pseudo-domcoms, although most episodes are still actcom in nature. Some shows go even further. For example, NIGHT COURT is usually an actcom. However, on occasion there are episodes that explore character, with the characters taking on relationships that turn it to a pseudo-domcom rather than an actcom. There are even episodes that are dramedic, as the characters explore a societal problem and its effect on people.
However, for a show to cross over from one form to another, it must possess at all times those features inherent to each form. NIGHT COURT can, at times, be any of the forms because it has the characters, relationships and settings, as well as the writing and producing quality that allow it that latitude. Such qualities are rare and difficult to develop in the pressure cooker atmosphere of commercial television.
Television has been called many things, most of them unflattering: chewing gum for the eyes, the vast wasteland, junk food for the mind, the boob tube, the vidiot set. However, no matter what is said about it, it cannot be denied that television is the most pervasive single element in American society, dominating time, conversation, attitudes, thought, and the entertainment industry. As such, it is well deserving of an examination that will heighten viewers' awareness of what they are watching. As I discussed the sitcom, I'm certain, dear reader, that many images and memories sprang into your mind. As I wrote this book, I talked about it with many people. Each had their most and least favorite shows, and enjoyed discussing them at length. They particularly enjoyed finding out why they felt the way they did about the shows.
Although this book only covers a single facet of television, it is, I hope, a beginning in understanding what goes into the making of television programming, and will provide a basis for future evaluation.

DE DOORNS, South Africa (Reuters) - South African law enforcement dismissed from your job rubberized bullets in addition to stun grenades during countless striking village staff that hindered a new freeway in the grape-growing Western Cape about Wednesday, the initial clashes of any 12 months probably be marked by fractious manual work relations.
The strikers had piled losing tyres surrounding the main motorway through the city of De Doorns, 100 km (60 miles) east connected with Cape Town, that will demand bigger wages, a Reuters media reporter for the scene said.
Four individuals were hospitalised with regard to minimal accidents from plastic bullets while police dispersed this crowd, an urgent situation artist said.
"I might confirm that 41 people today were in jail although which number could rise," stated police spokesman Andre Traut.
The strikers set shrubbery with hearth and torched some sort of bulldozer including a caravan, transmitting smoke billowing in the sky.
After the crowd acquired scattered, police arrest eliminated large crud which protesters had used to obstruct this road. Empty rubber bullet cartridges littered the particular yard in close proximity to this highway.
Africa's largest economy spotted waves of time unrest not too long ago that commenced inside platinum mining industry and swept through the transportation and agriculture sectors.
Police harmed 34 miners at Lonmin's Marikana platinum my own during many of the hardest unrest within August, tarnishing South Africa's history between another country buyers and also prompting downgrades with its sovereign personal debt ratings.
With yellow metal and also coal mines employing greater than 250,000 people today because of start off industry-wide wage speaks inside on its way months, analysts be expecting manual work interaction to forged your darkness around an financial system forecast to grow by means of all-around 3 or more percent this kind of year.
The federal states that South Africa requires total growth of several percentage in order to reduce unemployment involving around 25 percent.
The South African Chamber associated with Commerce along with Industry (SACCI) claimed labour unrest may possibly knock slowly recovering enterprise confidence, which usually went up in the last month associated with 2012 but ended up being still lower than the last year.
"The promise of improvements throughout confidence will merely comprehend that the dangers with continuing labour protest hobby . tend to be managed decisively," SACCI said.
The punch simply by plantation staff while in the Western Cape, household for you to South Africa's multi-billion-dollar homemade wine industry, follows similar walk-out throughout December where warehouses were being established with fire as well as at the least a pair of workers died in clashes using police.
The workers, many of them black seasonal hires applied to pick out as well as pack fruit on farms held mainly by simply the light minority, want a baseline regular salary of 150 rand, way up out of 69 rand.
"We will be struggling. It is quite hard to survive about 69 rand your day. School is beginning along with we do not own cash pertaining to education clothes," said Lena Lottering, 35, your mummy of three.
"There is actually very little food around the stand and also my personal children often go to bed hungry."
Another worker, Aubrey Louw, 47, stated your dog acquired worked on this farms considering that the 1970s whenever he gotten 1 out of 3 rand a day.
"Now many of us obtain 65 rand. What will be that? We want one hundred and fifty rand. Farmers would prefer to utilise safety measures protects along with obtain brand new motors as compared to pay us," he said.
When talks to help avert the particular strike shattered decrease this week, union leaders blamed the particular intransigence in the white wine farmers, featuring your racial plus money divisions that will pursue to rankle 18 a long time following your conclude of apartheid.
"We have been realized using naked racism along with bright arrogance," said union boss Nosey Pieterse, typical assistant on the Bawsi Agricultural Workers Union regarding South Africa.

Thursday, 8:00 AM. 73 degrees F, wind WSW, light with stronger gusts. The sky is almost cloudless but there is a lot of haze, the humidity is 54% and the barometer predicts rain. It looks like a front is moving in from the west, and it will probably be a rather hot, muggy day.
I have a meeting regarding residents who want to cut city and other trees to improve their views of the lake. This whole subject is a tar baby, and once broached everyone is stuck in the mess. I'll keep you infomed.
The red '06 Chevy pickup truck got traded in on a silver '08 Honda Ridgeline. I need a truck, but the standard pickup was more truck than I needed. The Ridgeline is smaller all the way around, has a more car-like ride and handling and is easier to get in and out of. It also has four doors, and some nice amenities for old folks, such as the dual acting tailgate that makes loading and unloading many things much easier. We use the truck for all our traveling, and a better ride and improved gas mileage should be a boon. Nothing wrong with the Chevy, though, it served us well.
We watched the Republican Convention last evening and the speeches were by and large on target, and some quite inspiring. Paul Ryan came across not as a policy wonk but as a well rounded and philosophically grounded candidate. Condolisa Rice was amazingly passionate in defense of our founding principles and the promise of America, and Susana Martinez, the Latina Governor of New Mexico, blew everyone away with her story and that of her family. We are a nation of immigrants, a resourceful, upbeat, self-reliant people. When we stray from what and who we are, we loose our way. And we have been led badly astray!

Journalists reporting on the unrest in Ferguson, MO were in the crosshairs of police Wednesday night, with violence and intimidation directed at many prominent journalists. Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post and Ryan J. Reilly of the Huffington Post made headlines after being confronted, assaulted and arrested without reason or justification given, while a crew from Al Jazeera America was targeted by SWAT forces who fired tear gas directly at the team while filming a protest. Christopher Chambers, a journalism professor at Georgetown University, explains to RT's Ameera David why law enforcement seem to be targeting members of the media.


text: On the table there are two jackets seen from the bottom. The top jacket is the Square Wave LP and the bottom is a sample of the upcoming Sine Wave LP. We manufactured a die to cut the Square Wave jackets after they were letterpressed but there was one detail that was not quite right. There was only one score on the top and bottom of the jacket for the glue tabs to fold in and there were two reasons this was not ideal. Most importantly, this single fold made it a challenge to slide the thick 200 gram record in and out of the sleeve. Additionally, on a cosmetic note, it created an unattractive extremely slender triangle shape from the spine to the opening. Since the same die was being used to cut the Sine Wave LP jackets, we modified it to eliminate these issues by adding an additional score to each glue tab. The sample shows not only a positive result but a vast improvement. Heavyweight vinyl slides in and out easily while the top and bottom now look boxed-out, solid and rectangular.

Thought for the day:
Practicing unconditional love and tolerance requires more than putting up with others; it requires a sincere desire to understand, respect and empathize, otherwise it's just condescension.
Stumbling along the Middle Path, one day at a time.
Thought for the day:
Practicing unconditional love and tolerance requires more than putting up with others; it requires a sincere desire to understand, respect and empathize, otherwise it's just condescension.
Every now and then I'll run into one of two situations at a 12-Step meeting:
Generally speaking. I don't have an issue with the first, although I think it ignores reality to a remarkable degree. But if the issue is carried over to the second it's another matter. If a group has a problem with talk about other issues, the proper way to handle it is for someone to take the so-called offender aside after the meeting, and gently explain the rule and why it exists (if they can). That should be a policy arrived at by the group conscience, not an individual or the service office. As AA puts it, "Our leaders are but trusted servants, they do not govern." [Emphasis mine.] Continue reading "The Only Requirement…"
"The tides of populism and nationalism currently sweeping many developed countries have been accompanied by demands that unwelcome and inconvenient voices be removed from public discourse…
…Intolerance of alternative viewpoints is spreading to places that make me, a moderate and a liberal, most uncomfortable….I find almost everything that Mr Trump says objectionable. I consider him offensive and bigoted. But he has my full support to come to my country and be offensive and bigoted there. His freedom to speak protects my freedom to call him a bigot. His freedom guarantees mine….
"If you seek the removal of freedoms from an opponent simply on the grounds that they have offended you, you have crossed the line to stand alongside tyrants who imprison, torture and kill on exactly the same justification."
~ J. K. Rowling
How does this apply to recovery?
Am I open-minded about the recovery ideas of others in the rooms, or do I preach the gospel of my fellowship and suggest that those who disagree with what I consider the True Way find recovery elsewhere? Am I offended by the way some speak, or how they dress? Do I raise holy hell if someone mentions drug abuse at an AA meeting? Are my tirades tolerated; my right to my opinions honored, despite the fact that I advocate curtailing the rights of others?
Maybe I need to think about that.
New post on the Sunrise Detox Blog:
There are a variety of characteristics that make up what we refer to as "spirituality," but it seems to me that tolerance stands out as one of the primary things we need to work on in recovery. The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines tolerance as 1. capacity to endure pain or hardship; and 2.sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own. Both of these are important for recovering people to remember.
We addicts know The Way Things Ought To Be. We tend to be hard-headed and prone to black and white thinking…

In the wake of Friday's Land Day protests in Israel and abroad, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon on Saturday accused Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas of carrying out "political terrorism" against Israel.Palestinian activists called for a "Global March to Jerusalem" to coincide with the 36th anniversary of so-called Land Day on Friday, and although there were rallies in Israel, police said crowd numbers were relatively small and largely trouble free. The march's organizers claimed that pro-Palestinian rallies were held in 84 countries, but activists did not storm Israel's borders with Lebanon and Syria as had been feared. Protests turned violent in areas of the West Bank and Gaza, where a man was shot and killed when he tried to breach the border fence.

Severe weather hasn't made it to the area … yet. I don't know if / when the system makes it here, it'll have enough energy to go severe later tonight. The system was capped off today due to temperature inversion. To much warm air already aloft in the upper atmosphere. Yesterday I thought by this time the severe weather would be popping. We were earlier today under a severe thunderstorm watch, albeit very shot lived.
At this time you can see it is still well Northwest of the area. Snapshot time 0028 UTC or 8:28 PM EDT.
To our west they have had another day of large hail and tornadoes. Tonight I expect isolated showers and maybe a thunderstorm. Tomorrow may yet bring isolated severe weather to the area, we'll have to wait and see.

Polaris sl 780 carb problem
Well my ski has lately been burning alot of fuel ( 70 litres ) in like 3 hours which i think is too much for my ski so i adjusted the carbs to see if they are ok and they where so i ran the ski without the filter to see if the fuel is going fine but i noticed the middle piston number 2 is pouring alot of fuel during idle and keeps pouring for 3 seconds after i turn the engine off i have rebuilt the carbs what might be the problem? i live in malta an island in the eu these i never seen a jetski like this here my dad had it for 13 years used only for 1 summer
1 : closed both low speed and high speed screws its keeps pouring fuel
2 : what is the fuel consumption on these things ?
3 : the ski works fine at full throttle but it bogs like hell on accelaration
thank you very very much for your help.
Could be one or more from below (from likely to less likely):
Regulator arm is sticking up too high (should be flush with carb top flange).
Needle is somehow stuck open.
Return constrictor is clogged
POP is too low (wrong spring)
Wrong jet
My guess on fuel consumption for your ski would be around 35 liters per hour at full throttle give or take a few liters. Simply take the number of liters per hour without factoring in the riding RPM is not a good way to estimate your fuel consumption IMO.

Today I saw a cat almost catching a bird! The bird, a very tiny one, barely escaped. It was thrilling! I had to shout in the office, thought the cat did not hear me but unwillingly I had to shout.
Cats are pretty creatures, but sometimes dangerous, this bird needs to know when to be around it and when to flee it!
Oh and that cat did not see me, the bird neither! But I was there, invisible to both but present! I was watching and if the bird was unable to escape I am sure I would have opened my window in haste and freaked the cat so she leaves the bird alone.
The outcome of this dangerous adventure was gorgeous! I've been tracking this bird (a very remarkable nightingale) for a month or more now, and it was the first time I see him so high and fast! Amazing!
It made me think of little and big things. The fight we are in, the battle, the failures, the victory,...the almost escaping! The Watcher!

Holocaust film 'Location Unidentified' released 16th June
Dartmouth Films is honoured to announce the theatrical release of the Gigatel Productions' film LOCATION UNKNOWN in UK movie theaters from 16thJune 2017.
Making a special contribution to the history of the Holocaust, the film catches the pain which still haunts Holocaust survivors 70 years after liberation and the durability which has actually allowed them to cope with the memories.Directed by Claire Ferguson(understood for editing Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer, Performance for George, The End of the Line, Guilty Pleasures,Up in Smoke), Produced by Llion Roberts (who has actually invested fourteen years collecting the testimonies on which the film is based ), DESTINATION UNKNOWN blends intimate testimony with immersive archive to bring the stories of twelve Holocaust survivors to the screen.The film is released on the back of Holocaust Memorial Day (Yom HaShoah)where the film's central character and Holocaust survivor Ed Mosberg participated in'The March of the Living'along with countless participants in Poland last week. Ed Mosberg will visit the UK for therelease of the movie in June.With no narrative and no expert interviews, the film relies on the survivors 'own words, to weave a vibrant story of lives stained by genocide. A seamless mosaic of first-hand accounts, unusual archive from the time, and household Extremely 8 video from after the war, the film traces their journeys from the outbreak of war, through the misery of the ghettos, to the unthinkable horrors of the camps. The survivors share their memories, some for the first time, some for the last, bringing their experiences to a new generation.We see those who endured in hiding, those who fought as partisans, and those who withstood camps such as Treblinka, Mauthausen and Auschwitz-Birkenau. While a few managed to escape, the majority of had to try to find a way to
remain alive until the end of the war.Their stories do not end with liberation. We see how they had to survive the mayhem that came later on, and their attempts to develop new lives.The film consists of an interview with among the few escapees from the terror of Treblinka, and an exclusive interview with Mietek Pemper, who assisted Oskar Schindler assemble his List, as well as a revealing story about Schindler himself from one of those he saved.Producer Llion Roberts stated:"I was influenced to start this task fourteen years back when I checked out Auschwitz and wished to make sure that the impressive stories of those who survived the Holocaust were preserved for posterity. In the years given that I have met and interviewed an impressive variety of amazing individuals whose lives are a motivation to all of us.
From the 4 hundred hours of testament I desired a movie which caught the essence of their experience and made a contribution to the history of those times."Director Claire Ferguson stated:"I wished to make a movie where the only voices are those of the survivors themselves, to catch something of the intimacy and immediacy I felt when talking with some of them straight. The challenge was to weave those individual voices together in such a way that developed a wider story, one that checked out not just the pain of the Holocaust itself
, but the structure of brand-new lives afterwards. My overriding concern was'How can you make a life after such discomfort?'"DESTINATION UNKNOWN remains in cinemas 16 June http://destinationunknownmovie.com/

The pit in my heart continues to grow. Here it is a week later, and it hasn't lessened. The pain is there. It does not go away. It really hurts.
Even my divorce did not hurt like this.
What am I going to do?
Does this pain mean anything?
How do I process this?
I have choices to make.
He has choices to make too.
What is my choice? What if our choices do not match? What do I do with my pain then?

"Pump Up The Volume: The History of House Music"
Come here, kid, let me give you some learning on the history of house music…
Before "EDM", and the over-commerialized "massives" and concerts, there were sweaty, underground house parties (and they still happen to this day). Sure, I love a massive, I love a concert and I especially love a good Festival (who doesn't like camping and DJs all weekend or all week?). But, my roots are from warehouse parties in the mid-90s and listening to house music on late night radio as a kid in NY in the late 80s… (PS: I also grew up listening to Punk and Alt Rock.)
Do you know the History of House music? This is just one commentary, and there are others, but for pete's sake, take a moment to see where all the "hype" came from. Start here and expand your mind. 😉
PS: RIP Frankie Knuckles. We HouseHeadz miss you…

I'm confused by this article:
How come Arnold is being bashed and a big deal being made because his father was affiliated with the Nazi party, but this guy Bustamante hasn't hardly been asked at all about MEChA?
Isn't this a double standard or sorts? Trent Lott had to resign as Speaker when people inferred that he might like someone who supported segregation, yet when Bustamante is asked about MEChA he refuses to renounce the group?
From http://www.americanpatrol.com/MECHA/MEChAindex.html :
"This is what the MEChA Constitution says (Article II, section 1):
"General membership shall consist of any student who accepts, believes and works for the goals and objectives of MEChA, including the liberation of AZTLAN, meaning self-determination of our people in this occupied state and the physical liberation of our land."
From "El Plan de Aztlan": In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny.
From the Hoover Institute
...Thus Rodolfo Acuña's Occupied America claims the Southwest for Mexicans. Chicano activists (Chicanismo) push not only for civil rights for illegal Mexicans but also for the return (reconquista) of the lost provinces to form Aztlán. Chicanismo demands Spanish language and culture education, not English or American cultural schooling. The Movimiento Estudiante Chicano de Aztlán (MECHA) in 1970 formed a political party, La Raza Unida, won control of Crystal City, Texas, and tried to make it into a Chicano city. The party split and has had little political impact since but could easily revive in California or Texas. More.... "
Maybe I have learned a faulty definition of Racism, but my understanding of it is that any group that thinks it is better than any other group based strictly on race is a racist group. Dictionary.com defines Racism as the following:
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
While MEChA doesn't overtly proclaim they believe that a person of 'Chicano' background is better it can be easily implied, implied at least as easily as was done with Trent Lott a while back.
So why is this not been covered by the other news organizations who have asked about Arnold? I don't seem to remember seeing Katie Curiouc (sp?) questioning Bustamante's past relations and dealings, unlike Arnold's, where in Arnolds aren't even what he himself has done, but his father.
Can anyone justify covering Arnold's father as much as has been done but the very low news coverage of Bustamante and his ties to MEChA?
Not ever. Period.
Those folks are idiots, plain and simple. They have commited dastardly cowardly violent acts in the past, and are compared to the KKK for GOOD REASON. You should read some of their documentation calling for the genocide of the gringo. Kill all the white folk but spare their "oppressed brothers in arms" the Native Americans.
Can't we all just get along? Sure, I would love to see some land returned, but it aint gonna happen. So make a billion dollars, buy it back, and kick folks out if it makes you happy. Not saying this is right, it's just what many are trying to do now.
Considering my mixed mongrel ethnicity, it's hard to point a finger at anybody with out three fingers pointing back at my self.

Even with today's loss to Ohio State, Jim Harbaugh is likely to be at Michigan for a long time. He says he has not been offered a 'lifetime' contract, however.
After the tough 31-20 loss to the Buckeyes, Harbaugh was asked about the reported deal.
Former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, now a college football analyst for FOX, reported that the school was nearing a lifetime deal to keep Harbaugh in Ann Arbor.
It was met with skepticism at the time, and Jim Harbaugh pretty much denied that it is true after today's loss.
Jim Harbaugh on reports of lifetime contract: "Fake news."
— Kyle Rowland (@KyleRowland) November 25, 2017
While not everyone is thrilled with everything Harbaugh has done, Michigan is recruiting very well, and rivalry games aside, has had quick success at Michigan. He hasn't reached "lifetime contract" status yet, though. Few, if any, coaches get to that point. Still, he should be around for a while.

500, 1000, 2000fps
Posted 11 May 2007 - 01:47 PM
This is likely a fairly straight-forward question, and although I'm not a beginning filmmaker per-say, I know little on the topic of "high-speed shooting".
I recently purchased a DVX100B and I think I am in love . However, I noticed the capability of shooting 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 fps. I was wondering when you would use these high-speed framerates and what effect it gives. I understand the need for more light the faster the frame rate, but I am unsure of what each framerate's benefit is and what effect it could give.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Dan Goldberg..

The significance of framerate is in speed manipulation. Since everything is projected at 24fps in america, shooting at less than 24fps give you a fast-motion effect and shooting more than 24fps gives slow motion. 1000fps will stretch one second of real time into about 40 seconds of screen time.

Those aren't framerates. Those are shutter speeds.
From what I understand those are 1/500, 1/1000 etc. of a second not 1000 frames per second.
Yikes, I goofed.
I meant shutter speeds yes. I'ms orry if I confused people, I wasn't thinking straight
Thanks for the help, both of you.

They do shoot those kind of FPS for sientific research, specialty photograpy like the bullet spliting the playing card or going through the apple so they're not NESESSARILY shutter speeds.
I tested the Phantom HD last week, just pouring milk on cornflakes @1000 fps looks very cool! Changes in peoples faces as they talk is really weird.

True, some camera can do that but a DVX is not that animal
There's a prof here at RIT who's well known for special effects photography. He does a class every year where they do things like shoot a bullet hitting an apple, spliting a card, popping a balloon, et cetera. Very cool stuff. He invented an electronic shutter that works down to something like 1/100,000th of a second.

Back up a second. A higher shutter speed will not make a smoother image. It will make a choppier-looking image. Motion blur is integral to a "smooth" image and is a big part of the look of film.
1/48 is the standard film shutter speed for 24 fps (realtime). On a video camera, you can set it higher for a smoother immage (less moion blurr, but I find motion blurr contributes to the film look) but ou will need to open the iris more.

Posted 16 May 2007 - 09:00 PM
So are those shutter speeds, 500, 1000, and 2000 specifically for slow motion effect? Or are there other effects or benefits of those speeds?
I use 1/50th(PAL) for normal shooting and 1/1000th for slow motion(depending on light). If you run a test, you'll see shooting at a much higher shutter speed will give you far better slow motion. I'm not sure of the other uses for such high shutter speeds.

Posted 16 May 2007 - 10:35 PM
any other uses for higher shutter speeds? other than good slow motion capabilities? just wondering

Posted 16 May 2007 - 11:29 PM
Producing sharper looking footage of fast moving subjects like motor sports. There would be less blur. However, as others have said, you do run the risk of ending up with footage that will not look entirely smooth with regular frame rate shooting - 25fps / 30fps etc.

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 2.2 Released
NVIDIA announced today it has released version 2.2 of the CUDA Toolkit and SDK for GPU Computing. This latest release supports several significant new features that deliver a major leap forward in getting the most performance out of NVIDIA's massively parallel CUDA-enabled GPUs. In addition, version 2.2 of the CUDA Toolkit includes support for Windows 7, the upcoming OS from Microsoft that embraces GPU Computing.
Additional new features in CUDA Toolkit 2.2 include:
Visual Profiler for the GPU
The most common step in tuning application performance is profiling the application and then modifying the code. The CUDA Visual Profiler is a graphical tool that enables the profiling of C applications running on the GPU. This latest release of the CUDA Visual Profiler includes metrics for memory transactions, giving developers visibility into one of the most important areas they can tune to get better performance.
Improved OpenGL Interop
Delivers improved performance for Medical Imaging and other OpenGL applications running on Quadro GPUs when computing with CUDA and rendering OpenGL graphics functions are performed on different GPUs.
Texture from Pitch Linear Memory
Delivers up to 2x bandwidth savings for video processing applications.
Enables streaming media, video transcoding, image processing and signal processing applications to realize significant performance improvements by allowing CUDA functions to read and write directly from pinned system memory. This reduces the frequency and amount of data copied back and forth between GPU and CPU memory. Supported on MCP7x and GT200 and later GPUs.
Pinned Shared Sysmem
Enables applications that use multiple GPUs to achieve better performance and use less total system memory by allowing multiple GPUs to access the same data in system memory. Typical multi-GPU systems include Tesla servers, Tesla Personal Supercomputers, workstations using QuadroPlex deskside units and consumer systems with multiple GPUs.
Asynchronous memcopy on Vista
Allows applications to realize significant performance improvements by copying memory asynchronously. This feature was already available on other supported platforms but is now available on Vista.
Hardware Debugger for the GPU
Developers can now use a hardware level debugger on CUDA-enabled GPUs that offers the simplicity of the popular open-source GDB debugger yet enables a developer to easily debug a program that is running 1000s of threads on the GPU. This CUDA GDB debugger for Linux has all the features required to debug directly on the GPU, including the ability to set breakpoints, watch variables, inspect state, etc.
Exclusive Device Mode
This system configuration option allows an application to get exclusive use of a GPU, guaranteeing that 100% of the processing power and memory of the GPU will be dedicated to that application. Multiple applications can still be run concurrently on the system, but only one application can make use of each GPU at a time. This configuration is particularly useful on Tesla cluster systems where large applications may require dedicated use of one or more GPUs on each node of a Linux cluster.
Developers can download the latest CUDA Toolkit, SDK, and drivers now at https://www.nvidia.com/cuda

Some people have a very poor sense of direction.Unluckily,I am
one ofthem.I have visited a place may times but I may still get lost there the nexttime.
When I was a little girl,I never daredask strangers the way.And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that bychance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now,I am no longer too shy to ask people fordirections,but I often receive helpless or even wrong information.So I try toavoid giving people wrong directions.If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere,I always say,"Sorry,I am a stranger here."
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man.He askedme if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building.I gave him my usual reply.But just as I walked on only a few steps,I realizedthat he had asked the way to my office building.However,I had no time to turnback and look for him.I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and Ididn't want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office,the secretary showed inthe man who had asked me for directions.Imagine how embarrassed I wasand how surprised he was when we saw each other at eh first sight!

Inspirational Good Twin Mattress for Adults – When it comes to choosing the proper mattress for your additional guest room or your child's room, you have so many alternatives to select from, that you are certain to get confused about which one to pick. There are usually five choices of mattresses to choose from – California king, king, queen, full and twin. The smallest in terms of the size is that the twin mattress. They are usually the choice for kids beds or the beds in the guest rooms. A twin mattress is also known as a single bed, because, it's ordinarily meant for a single individual to use it, unlike the name, which tends to imply that two individuals can sleep with it. A typical twin mattress is usually thirty nine inches wide and five inches long, making it the smallest of all of the accessible mattresses. It's not hard for you to find the right mattress from among the various rates and styles of twin mattresses, so certainly it's possible to settle to the one that suits your budget.
Good Twin Mattress Couch 29 Modern Sofa Inspiration with Twin source:sofascouch.com
The largest reason those mattresses are so popular is they are easily able to fit in small and insufficient spaces. It is usually customized to fit into any size of room. For spare or guest bed rooms, in which you can't adapt massive beds, this is the best option. Additionally the size of those beds is perfect for a bunk bed and are a massive hit one of the children. Moreover, by creating bunk beds, kids can share their room and still have their separate beds. Twin beds are extremely practical for those couples who have sleeping problems and have different demands concerning the firmness of beds. In these kind of scenarios, they can obtain the mattress he or she needs and can combine the beds by pushing them together. These beds are often designed in such a way that they can readily be stacked and become a bunk bed.
Twin mattresses are fantastic for single beds, but are not for discussing. Also, if you're living in a small one bed room apartment or a studio apartment, then these are perfect selection for you, they are not merely small and fit in small space but also are light in your pocket. But in case you are taller than average persons, then this might not be the perfect selection for you, since, it is going to fall short for your own height. For taller individuals, an alternative may be the extra long twin mattress, which can be wider by three inches and more by five inches when compared to the standard twin mattress. These extra long mattresses are a much better option for taller individuals. A twin mattress is remarkably popular among kids and adults as well, because of its convenient sizes and readily affordable cost ranges. These mattresses are usually the ones that appeal to a huge range of consumers, because they're the very best for small spaces, they're a hit among individuals living in cramped spaces!! good twin mattress for adults

Matt Liston, the documentary filmmaker and organizer of the One At Bat campaign, told me after Tuesday's unforgettable game at
The Marlins were the only ones to make a firm offer, Liston said, which was fine with Greenberg for several reasons, not the least of which was the fact his July 2005 beaning came against then Marlins lefty Valerio de los Santos at
"We wanted the Miami Marlins," Liston told me. "They were always the top choice after the
What about the Cubs?
They, after all, were Greenberg's original organization, the one that drafted him out of North Carolina in the ninth round in 2002 (the Marlins took slap-hitting outfielder Eric Reed 10 picks earlier), the one that brought him to the majors for those seven fateful games in 2005, the one in which he took his first tentative steps along the comeback trail.
Why weren't they the ones to bring Greenberg back for his big moment?
"My guess is they're about to have a 100-loss season under a brand-new regime, the
You think the Marlins and their followers are down? That's nothing compared to the latest round of misery on the North Side of Chicago as Epstein breaks it down again in hopes of staging a Red Sox-style turnaround.
"The Marlins have won two championships here in the last 15 years," says Liston, a longtime Cubs fan. "The Cubs haven't won in a hundred, so it's kind of hard to do something in that market where they they think they're not going to be taken seriously. 'Is this a PR stunt?' Well, they don't have much of a sense of humor right now."
Liston, whom Greenberg calls "my agent," had steady dialogue with Cubs representatives. He talked with owner
"He loved the spirit of the campaign," Liston said. "I thought we had a chance there. I was hopeful."
First-year Cubs GM
"We thought we had a shot," Liston said.
Liston never received an audience with Epstein. Nor did the Cubs ever offer an explanation for why they decided to pass on a Greenberg reunion.
"Theo never talked about it," Liston said, "but I heard from other people that some people in the organization wanted to see it happen. They loved Adam and wanted to see it happen, but the decision-makers didn't."
Nine years after the Bartman Game, the Marlins beat the Cubs again in a contest they had no business winning.

According to materialists, the creation, development and destruction of the world are according to the rules of nature and not by the rules of God. They say that everybody wants happiness and by the fulfillment of every material desire, one can be happy. They believe that we are not eternal souls but mortal bodies, and by the fulfillment of the material senses one can be happy. The sense of seeing, hear, smell, touch, taste are five senses of our body. With the help of these senses we make use of this world. So, according to the materialists the means of happiness in this material world is this corporeal body.
On the other hand, according to spirituality, we are eternal souls and not this physical body. This body is destroyable and is made up of five structural elements (water, air, fire, ether and earth) whereas, the soul ('I') is spiritual, eternal, and is an eternal part of God. Bliss is the other name of God and being a part of "Him", we naturally desire for
happiness -
raso vai saḥ
Now which way to choose?
This is a very difficult question for an individual to answer. Every religion claims to be perfect in its own ways. The answer to this can be explained in the following way:
We have two entities - the soul and the physical body. It is true that we will achieve our goal of attaining supreme bliss only by surrendering to God, and that the soul needs God. Similarly, we have to realize that this body requires the material world because this body is made up of five elements and this world is also comprised of these five elements.
No spiritualist can oppose a materialist, and no materialist can oppose a spiritualist. It is only with the help of this material body that devotional practice is made possible and without God-realization, mental afflictions, i.e. material desires, anger, jealousy, ego, etc. will never go away and we cannot have peace and happiness. Therefore, with the point of view of keeping our body healthy we have to do devotion. We have to keep our body healthy with the idea of serving and worshipping God. If we don't provide the necessary proteins, minerals, vitamins and all the required nutrients to our body, we will surely fall sick and instead of remembering God we will only remember pain and misery.
To summarize, we could say that we have to follow spirituality along with materialism. This can be explained with the help of example:
A nurse takes care of thousands of children in a hospital over her lifetime. She feeds and cleans them, gives them medicine, etc. She performs these tasks as part of her duty and not because she is attached to them. Her love and attachment are mostly for her children and family. She does not love the babies in the hospital as much as she does her own. The sickness of her own child brings her anxiety and pain. She will do everything possible to bring her own child back to normal health at the earliest.
But if a child falls sick in the hospital, the nurse will tend to it immediately and perform her duties well. Her reaction to the sickness will be quite normal and not emotional. She is not emotionally attached to the sick child. In the same way, we have to perform our material duties without any attachment for sake of duty and not being bothered of the loss or profit. This is called as Karm-yog.
tan hari meṅ man jagat meṅ, yah mahān ajñān ||
Attaching our mind to this material world and worshipping God with our body and material senses is a sign of great foolishness.
Hence, both materialism and spirituality are necessary for us because we are spiritual by nature — soul and we have this material body. We need this material world for existence.

Title: ``Titanic: Adventure Out of Time''
Subject: Adventure game/tour
Format: Windows, Macintosh
Manufacturer: CyberFlix
Title: ``Titanic: Adventure Out of Time''
Subject: Adventure game/tour
Format: Windows, Macintosh
Manufacturer: CyberFlix
Price: About $50
System requirements: Windows 3.1 or higher; 486/66 MHz; 8 MB RAM; Super VGA 256-color monitor. Mac System 7.1 or later; 68040 or faster processor; 8 MB RAM; 256- color monitor; 2X CD-ROM; external speakers.
Comment: There's no denying the widespread, enduring and rather morbid public fascination with the events of April 14, 1912. Countless books, songs, movies and TV specials have focused on the sinking of the Titanic. Now CyberFlix has come out with a computer adventure game that takes place aboard the doomed luxury liner.
But ``Titanic: Adventure Out of Time'' isn't just a game. It's a chance to visit a world of the past. Your ticket to this world is the CD's tour option, which allows you to walk the lavishly decorated decks at your leisure, without the distracting pressures of game play.
CyberFlix touts the historical accuracy of the game's scenery; its designers used actual blueprints and photos to render the backgrounds, including carved statues on the banisters of the grand staircase and a Renault in the cargo hold. Whether such claims are true, you get an eerie feeling as you explore the Edwardian interiors, and especially as you walk outside on the boat deck, passing by the lifeboats. You almost feel like straining to get a glimpse of the iceberg.
The CD comes with three ``tour guides'' -- characters from the game portion who add color to the tour. In a gimmicky and annoying feature. You can download other tour guides from the company's Web site; it would have been much more user-friendly simply to include them on the CD.
The game itself is a nicely plotted, stripped-down adventure game. Its herky-jerky video is not as smooth as in other current adventure titles, but its emphasis on character-based interaction and narrative-based challenges is a welcome change from arid intellectual puzzles. In fact, its plotting harks back to the heyday of Infocom's text-based adventures.
``Titanic'' is a good choice for gamers and disaster buffs alike; it's a trip back in time to a fateful night.
