A look at four telepics up for consideration
"Amish Grace"
PBS • Adapted from Robert Harvey's nonfiction "The Fall of Apartheid," the film reveals the hidden history behind the reintegration of black and white citizens in South Africa. Stars Oscar-winner William Hurt and three-time Golden Globe nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor as the negotiations' key players. Variety review: "A proficient docudrama that … attempts something dramatically difficult — putting a series of behind-closed-doors debates front and center — and largely pulls it off." "Hamlet"
PBS/BBC • This Royal Shakespeare Co. production, performed in modern dress, aired on PBS' Great Performances series. • Back in 1980, Patrick Stewart played Claudius opposite Derek Jacobi as the Danish prince. This time, "Doctor Who's" David Tennant suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune opposite Stewart's dastardly uncle. Variety review: "(Tennant's) mind works very fast, and he speaks at the speed of thought, keeping audiences absolutely tied to his shifting perspective on Hamlet's predicament." "A Dog Named Christmas"
CBS • The Hallmark Hall of Fame's 237th presentation plays like a love letter to dogs. • This holiday tear-jerker concerns a Vietnam vet (Bruce Greenwood) who agrees to let his special-needs son (Noel Fisher) adopt a canine through Christmas. Variety review: "To say I didn't tear up in spite of anticipating every beat of the movie would be a big, fat, furry lie. … Makes you want to curl up next to a friend on a chilly night, and scratch him behind the ears."

That stream of "Born Free" from the new M.I.A. album didn't last long when it was prematurely leaked last week. But it doesn't matter, because now we've got something better—this short, nine-minute film featuring the track from director Romain Gavras, which is distinctly NSFW.
The Suicide-sampling song is said to be the first single from that as-yet untitled album, and is full of nudity, violence and aggression as police round up a group of red heads for an execution. It's safe to say that the upcoming M.I.A. album isn't likely to provide much inspiration for Lady Gaga.
MGMT - "Flash Delirium" and "Brian Eno" (Live on SNL) (Video) | FUR "Clears Throat" (Video) |
My that's intense. I like the direction she's headed here, sonically.
"Ghost Rider" is great, too.
Freaking soulless gingers. Round em up! lol
It's interesting, because that song has a rowdy but bleak vibe, and the video could just as easily have been something "disturbing" but actually rock and roll lifestyle affirming (like, people streetfighting or doing drugs, etc.). Instead, it satisfies the thirst for violence the song makes you feel while making you feel guilty for feeling it, and also making a totally separate political point (couldn't have anything to do with the recent slaughter of the Tamils, could it?).
When I hear the chorus I think she is saying "Borrr-ing". This is boring. I don't care about any politics.... This doesn't swing man...


text: As a druid devotee, the only thing that would bring me back now is a proper Emerald Dream expansion and that seems unlikely to occur. I stopped playing simply because I got bored. They can wrap things up in whatever paper they want, but the fundamental way the game is played is the same as it was nearly a decade ago and after 7 years of playing it daily, it simply holds no interest to me as a game. I still keep track of things though, just in case.

A fast acting, concentrated pad cleaner that quickly dissolves and emulsifies compounds, polishes and waxes to make cleaning fast and easy!
Cleaning your pads removes all kinds of chemicals that have been embedded into them during the buffing process. This can include all types of solvents, carrying agents, abrasives, petroleum distillates, silicones, chemical cleaners and other nasty substances. Removing the liquids and the solids that build up both on and inside of your buffing pads preserves their integrity. Wolfgang Pad Werks Polishing Pad Cleaner breaks up and releases spent product, contaminants and dirt, leaving pads clean and ready for future use.
Increases Pad Performance As you�re buffing, product residue and paint are becoming embedded on the face of the pad. As you continue to buff, your pad clogs up and this dilutes any fresh product you add for the next section you buff. This not only wastes product but it also prevents the pad from performing to full potential.
Removes scratch inflicting spent residues Any leftover compound or polish residues have the potential to undo all your hard work if not removed from the pad. Residue solids can be re-introduced to the body panels where they can cause swirls. The best way to avoid cross-contaminating your pads is to remove all previously used compounds and polishes using Wolfgang Pad Werks Polishing Pad Cleaner.
How Wolfgang Pad Werks Polishing Pad Cleaner works:
Recently used pads The best time to clean your pads is right after using them while any compound, polish or wax residues are still wet. Wolfgang Pad Werks Polishing Pad Cleaner utilizes a powerful cleaning agent that will quickly mix with the wet residues and emulsify all types of water-in-oil and oil-in-water suspensions so they will release their glue-like hold on foam, wool and microfiber pads. Once the bond has been broken, compound and polish residues can easily be brushed out using a pad conditioning brush for foam pads, or when using a steel spur for wool pads.
Pads with dry, caked on residue Cleaning old, dry pads where the compound, polish and wax residues have been allowed to dry completely requires a powerful cleaning agent to re-liquefy and then dissolve the dried residue into a form that can be removed. Wolfgang Pad Werks Polishing Pad Cleaner�s powerful re-wetting and degreasing agents go right to work penetrating into even the driest caked-on gunk to make removal fast and easy.

The company didn't say how many American depositary shares it will offer or at what price in a regulatory filing today. The offering size is a placeholder used to calculate registration fees and may change.
500.com announced its IPO plans as two other China-based Internet businesses, 58.com Inc. and Qunar Cayman Islands Ltd., plan to complete their own initial offerings by the end of this month, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Those two offerings, if completed, will raise the number of U.S. IPOs by Chinese companies this year to five, compared with only two during all of 2012.
Shenzhen-based 500.com offers betting services through the Web and mobile applications and had more than doubled its users to 18.4 million by the end of September, from 8.8 million at the end of 2010, the regulatory filing shows. 500.com plans to use the proceeds for technology upgrades and marketing.
Net income at 500.com almost doubled to 20.6 million yuan ($3.4 million) from a year earlier in the nine months through September, as sales increased 25 percent to 163.4 million yuan, the company said.

Samuel Tadros is a research fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom and author of the new book Motherland Lost: The Egyptian and Coptic Quest for Modernity. A son of Egypt whose family has been active in the Coptic revival there, he talks about the unfolding events with National Review Online.
KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ: What are you thinking as you watch events in Egypt?
SAMUEL TADROS: It is obviously a sad moment on a personal level. A combination of anger, sadness, fear and frustration. With the exception of my wife and daughter, all the rest of my family and friends are still there. So I am worried for them and for the direction the country is heading.
LOPEZ: Not only protesters and journalists, but Churches are being attacked. Whats happening to the Coptic Christians?
TADROS: Copts are facing very difficult times. They are especially vulnerable in the villages in the south of the country, where local hatreds have been brewing for decades. Even before the coup, pro-Morsi marchers had made a habit of passing through largely Christian areas, chanting derogatory slogans and writing curses on the walls of churches. In some cases, this is mixed with longstanding local tension and leads to a pogrom such as the one we saw in a village near Luxor. The Egyptian police have proven both unwilling and incapable to stop such acts and protect Copts.
LOPEZ: Who are the Coptic Christians and why are they so hated?
TADROS: The word Copt is derived from the Greek word for Egypt, which is itself derived from the pharaonic one, so the best answer would be that they are Egyptian Christians. The church of Alexandria was one of the pillars of Christendom in the early centuries. Monasticism was born in Egypt at the hands of St. Anthony, and Egyptian church fathers such as St. Athanasius and St. Cyril shaped what it means to be Christian. The Coptic Church did not accept the decisions of the Council of Chalcedon in 451 over the nature of Christ and has since been separated from the rest of the Christian world. It belongs to a group of churches called Oriental Orthodox, which also includes Armenia, Syria, and Ethiopia.
Under the rule of Islam, Copts have fared poorly. Their numbers deteriorated throughout the centuries. Various forms of differentiation and discrimination were imposed upon them under their Dhimmi status. While most of the official restrictions against them were removed in modern times, the social aspects of Dhimmitude remain. Islamists continue to frown upon any attempt by Copts to act as equals, viewing it as an affront to Islam's supremacy in its land. Even the liberals were largely anti-Coptic, as they viewed Coptic identity as a threat to the emerging Egyptian nationalism they were formulating.
LOPEZ: In addition to the human-rights issues, why are the Copts important to Egyptian culture?
TADROS: They are not a passing minority. They have been there for over 2,000 years and have contributed enormously to the country's development. It is impossible to ignore men such as Louis Awad or Salama Moussa when one thinks of Egypt's great intellectuals or Makram Ebeid or Boutros Boutros Ghali when one thinks of its politicians.
LOPEZ: Have you tried to have that conversation with the Muslim Brotherhood?
TADROS: Personally, no. Call me a skeptic on the possible transformation of the Muslim Brotherhood. Anti-Christian sentiments are at the heart of the Brotherhood's worldview. When Hassan El Banna established his movement in 1928, fighting foreign missionaries was on the top of his agenda. The Brotherhood continues to use the most hateful language against Copts.
LOPEZ: Is there any realistic hope for the future of Copts in Egypt?
TADROS: It's a tough question. I would go back to the Middle Ages and the story of Copts under the rule of Islam. You can look at those years with a sense of despair at the continuous decline of the Coptic Church, but you also see endurance. Remember, of all the great Christian centers in North Africa, only Alexandria stands. It has been severly beaten, it has been wounded, but it still stands. The last 50 years have witnessed a tremendous revival in the Coptic Church and the church is flourishing outside the boarders of Egypt.

In a previous post I talk about how important it is to conquer rhythm. Music needs to be performed within a time frame. To ensure the music has the greatest effect, the performer needs to have a command of how the rhythm effects the performance.
When working on some of the basic rhythmic forms with children, 4/4 and 3/4, having them clap out a steady pulse while you sing the melodic line can help them understand how the two elements of music work together. Then switch roles and have them sing while you clap.
Once they have a steady rhythm mastered, try having them sing in time with your clapping as you slow down or speed up the tempo. Talk to them about the importance of stress points in the music. In "Mary had a little lamb" there are stresses in the music on Mary and on the Lit in little. These need to line up with the clapping. If you're slowing down, they need to adjust the speed of their song to make sure these stress points line up with the clapping.
A more advanced form of the same technique is using a metronome. Music by Elliott Carter, which often has unusual subdivision which can't easily be deciphered by our brains. Using a metronome, slow the tempo to where you can 'see' the subdivision in graspable elements.
A group of seven eighth notes in the space of two quarter notes is difficult, particularly if the tempo is a quarter note at 120 or more. Slow the process down to where you can successfully play the rhythm. Get to the point where you no longer have to think about 7 in space of 8, then speed up the tempo. Eventually you'll get to the point where you can play the correct rhythm at the correct tempo.
If, this doesn't work, take two metronomes and place them at different speeds. This requires some math (and possibly digital metronomes). At a quarter note = 120 there are 240 eighth notes in a minute. There would only be 210 if they were divided into 7's. Set one metronome to 120 and the other to 105. Start them at the same time and focus on the metronome set to 105. That's the rhythm your notes are at, while the 120 speed is the actual flow of the music.
These are just a couple of techniques, but determined practice will greatly improve your ability to play music in time.
One of the greatest experiences I had in terms of rhythmic development was taking a class in North Indian Kathak Dance. Initially we just learned to sing and tap with our fingers a basic rhythm. But eventually, we were singing one rhythm, moving our hands to a second and our feet to a third - and this was a basic course in Kathak Dance. What I learned is the possibility for my mind to actually process all these different rhythms together and keep them inline with the over-all flow of the music. I'm no dancer, but with work, the poly-rhythmic nature of the music was possible for even someone with two left feet.

Ways to Conquer Rhythm
2 comments:
- Jess Albertine said...
It's interesting to hear the perspective of older orchestral musicians about rhythms like 7 in the space of 8. When I had to play them as a performance major, my professor would never have told me to make sure they were absolutely precise. She'd say that the point of the unusual rhythm was to be irregular, and stylistically if you play irregular things with metronomic precision they can sound really dry. So her advice was just to make sure you fit all the notes in the allotted space, taking as much time for each note as you can, making them as equal as possible with practice. The effect is pretty much the same, but the mindset I think is very different. I'm not sure whether it's a generation gap or what, but it is interesting.

I think it depends on the music. NEVER should I suggest you play Carter irregular. His music requires a precision to make all the pieces fit together.
On the same note, Larson's music is more rubato, so the number of notes fitting into a certain space is less about precise moments, are more about the overall feeling.
There are times in my own music when the precision isn't required, but other times when it is. I believe the performed has to be able to play it precise and can then judge whether or not to be flexible. - August 4, 2011 at 1:09 PM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gregg Allman is getting married for the seventh time.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member has told several interviewers this week that he's engaged to his 24-year-old girlfriend, Shannon Williams, and Allman's publicist and manager confirmed the news Friday morning.
Allman talked about the unexpected love he felt for Williams in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this year for a story about his memoir, "My Cross to Bear," but admitted he was leery about taking the relationship further because of his past difficulties in his love life. But Allman told Howard Stern, Piers Morgan and a SiriusXM town hall audience this week that he's taken the relationship to the next stage.
Little is known about Williams, who entered the 64-year-old rock pioneer's life after a liver transplant and a run of health difficulties. Allman told the AP in a love-struck voice he met her while in Florida on Friday, Jan. 13, and "I am totally in love."
Allman's failed marriages make up a significant part of "My Cross to Bear," a best-seller after its release May 1. He offers a rare glimpse into his private life, detailing the rise and collapse of his relationship with Cher, among other topics. It's clear his failed relationships haunt him. He told the AP he has a distrust of the institution of marriage and has been left with the feeling that few, if any, of his wives were actually deeply in love with him.
No date has been set for the marriage.

I was the only person who noticed something was seriously wrong. Sure! Only one!) It actually wasn't that long that The New Yorker and Bernard Goldberg were extolling Dykstra's genius, with a total straight face. Because this was the one horrible moment in world history that people listened to Jim Cramer. (Never listen to a New York magazine columnist unless their name is Kurt Anderson, John Heilemann or Chris Smith.) Now, of course, Dykstra has been revealed as a fraud, as well as a guy who actually uses the word "spearchuckers." Even poor Bernie Goldberg has has turned on him. Oh, and he's taking all his son's money too. Still: It's possible he's eligible for TARP funding. But is it it enough to get him in the Hall of Fame?

The rabbits nibbled as they sat, half-alert, half-dozing in the summer sun. Suddenly, Fiver raised himself on his hind-paws and begin sniffing toward the north.
"Look. Look. That's the place for us." Fiver said, his nose quivering. "High, lonely hills, where the wind and the sound carry, and the ground's as dry as straw in a barn. That's where we ought to be. That's where we have to get to."
Hazel furrowed his brow. "Fiver, I'm not sure if…" But Fiver was already hopping toward the hills in the north. He called back over his shoulder.
"Believe me, Hazel. That's the place. That's Watership Down."
Bigwig awoke from his doze with a start. "Fiver, I think that's just a mural." He insisted, raising himself off the ground. "Slow down, buddy…"
Keehar, who had been soaring over the warren, chimed in. "You stupid bunny. Vere are going?"
"Away, to the hills." Fiver called, ecstatic.
Fiver was running full-speed now. Suddenly he hit the painted wall, his skull and neck gave a sickening crack and he fell to the ground, motionless. His back paw gave one last spasmodic quiver, and his spirit joined the warren in Owsla.

Nicia is a girl that has multiple personalities. She can have fun and make people laugh, but she can go through problems that she doesn't let anyone know about. She has a blend of music taste, and loves the unusual. She can fall in love with the least expected, and when she has, it will be a insanely major effort to get them off her mind. She is a smart, funny, secret hiding unique girl.

NICOSIA (Reuters) - A man triggered a major security scare in Cyprus on Wednesday when he walked into a police station carrying a bomb he found on his driveway, saying he wanted officers to examine it.
Police said the 33-year old man discovered a suspicious device on the back window of his car and after drawing a blank on what it was doing there, decided to take it to a police station in the capital Nicosia for further scrutiny by experts.
It didn't take long for police to discover it was a makeshift bomb which had failed to go off, triggering the evacuation of the complex.
"He obviously didn't know what it was," a police source told Reuters.
Police said the object was a "makeshift high intensity explosive" attached to a detonator and a fuse. It was defused on site by explosives experts.

Church mission to Vedanta site in India
Kathryn Hopkins
16th October, 2009
Archbishop questions Church's investment in mining firm that plans to build on site revered by indigenous tribe
A Church of England official will travel to a sacred area in India where the mining company Vedanta Resources plans to open a bauxite mine, after the Archbishop of Canterbury expressed concerns about the project.
Speaking at Southwark Cathedral this week, Rowan Williams said he had asked officials in charge of the church's investments to look into a mining company with controversial activities.
He did not name the company, but a church official confirmed that he had been referring to Vedanta.
The church, which has a £2.5m share in the mining firm, has been under mounting pressure to withdraw its stake after the government criticised Vedanta's actions in India.
Sacred mountain
Jonathan Mazower, a researcher at Survival International, said: 'There's a very strong religious element to this. [Vedanta] cannot go ahead with this project without destroying a most sacred mountain. It's like bulldozing down Westminster Abbey or St Paul's Cathedral. In a way, it's worse: the Dongria Kondh people don't just worship the mountain itself, they revere it as their god.
'It's hard to see how the Church of England can have any kind of ethical dimensions to their ethical policy while investing in Vedanta because it's not only going to destroy these people's livelihood but the whole foundation of their religion.'
Vedanta attack
In an unprecedented attack on a FTSE 100 company, the government ruled on Monday that Vedanta 'did not respect the rights' of the area's indigenous people; 'did not consider the impact of the construction of the mine on the [tribe's] rights'; and 'failed to put in place an adequate and timely consultation mechanism'. The report concluded that a change in the firm's behaviour' was 'essential'.
The ruling is the third embarrassment in five months for Anil Agarwal, Vedanta's executive chairman.
In June, an environmental award was withheld at the last minute when details of the mine in the eastern state of Orissa were brought to the jury's attention, and in August India's environment minister admitted the project should never have been approved.
Vedanta plans an open-cast mine on Niyamgiri mountain in Orissa. Activists believe it will destroy the area's ecosystem and threaten the future of the 8,000-strong Dongria Kondh tribe, who depend on the hills for their crops and water. They believe the mountain and surrounding forest are the sacred home of their god Niyam Raja.
Church meetings
Survival International has met the church's Ethical Investment Advisory Group on several occasions in an attempt to inform them about Vedanta's activities in Orissa. "We want them to know about all the difficulties.
'Vedanta are so powerful in that area that there is a culture of fear in the area of Vedanta's refinery. So when the church goes to the area, it is important that they meet people who have been affected by this.'
The church said an official would travel to Orissa with Vedanta on the understanding that they could go off unaccompanied to conduct their own research.
'Vedanta is very happy to work with the church commissioners to make sure that they are satisfied,' the company said.
The Bianca Jagger Human Rights Foundation, Amnesty International, ActionAid and Survival International have been collaborating on a letter campaign urging the Indian government to avert a potential humanitarian and ecological catastrophe.

Horse riding
Trip Start
Aug 11, 2008
Trip End
Sep 25, 2008
The night before I had asked our guide, Paolo, for a fast horse. Well why not? I learnt to horse ride, I should be good at this still. I needed to prove to my colleagues that I might be crap at fishing but I could still do other things!
Well, my horse was loco at the start! I thought I was going to go a cropper but bless him, let him eat grass, drink water and give him a few encouraging pats and he was like putty in my hands.
Sinead is scared of horses and her horse was a bitt too lively so she swapped with Carmen (Austrian). Hoeever, when Carmen got off her horse she stood on its foot and it bucked up and sent Nicola�s horse on a bit of a jaunt. Put it like this - Carmen is fast losing favour in the group.
I am surprised Clive�s horse didn�t have a heart attack. He couldn�t even sit on it properly and the poor thing looked like it was goingt o keel over at any moment. We went through dense forest and whilst we didn�t see any real wildlife it was fantastic. Near the end we were allowed to gallop if we chose to so myseld, Jada, John, Alvaro, Carmen and Jess went for it. Fantastico! What an absolutely wicked wicked day!
In the afternoon we went walking in the forest. Saw a snake and wild boars but that was about it. It was bloody hot - I have never felt such extreme heat.
Anyway - night time stories....last night, Jada, John and Alvaro (who were sharing a room) heard mad Clive talking at 11pm, 3am and 5 am. He was shouting `� go on boy! Go on! Write it down! Write it down!�� Barking
This evening - screams from the sickie room. �John ! Alvaro! Help!��. We went in and a frog (!!) had climed up the plughole and was jumping around in the bathroom. A frog. A little frog. Being the intrepid brave traveller I am (ha ha not) I caught it in a glass and gave it to Alvaro so he could claim the glory! Men.

Bred to run for miles, the Dalmatian retains this tireless enthusiasm. It is a playful, eager companion that must get daily hard exercise in a safe area if he is expected to behave at home. He loves to run and may roam. He is generally good with other pets and is especially good with horses. He tends to be reserved toward strangers. He can be stubborn.
Note: Deaf Dalmatians present special training and behavioral problems. They are not advised for families with children.
The Dalmatian needs a lot of regular exercise and attention. He needs more than a short walk on leash; he makes a good jogging companion. The Dalmatian's needs can also be met with vigorous games and runs. Although the Dal needs shelter, soft bedding and, most of all, companionship. Thus, he is best allowed to live in the house and play in the yard. The coat needs only minimal care, but more frequent brushing will help remove dead hair.
Major concerns: deafness, urolithiasis
Minor concerns: allergies, epilepsy
Occasionally seen: CHD, vWD
Suggested tests: hearing
Life span: 12-14 years
Note: A unique defect of the Dalmatian is its inability to metabolize
uric acid into allantoin, which leads to the tendency to form urinary
calculi (stones).

Software tools are provided with the display to play-out 3D content and control the 3D and 2D visualization parameters. The actual 3D content can be created via plug-ins available for popular 3D animation software packages. Existing 2D or stereo content can be converted into 2D-plus-Depth format. The 2D-plus-Depth format is compatible with existing compression tools, as the additional bandwidth of the depth is small.

Number Lab Fashion Show: Hot Semi-Naked Guys Skateboarding
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week kicks off with a bang!
-PJ Gach
One of the best things about Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in September is that there's a bunch of men's fashion shows. This means hot male models. This is not a bad thing.
While yesterday wasn't the first "official" day of fashion week, there were a ton of shows. I was fortunate enough to catch Number Lab. The line is designed for active guys: skateboarders, beachgoers and guys who are fit. Designed by Luis Fernandez, the collection was black and white with pops of blue and orange. Lots of stripes, color block and cool graphic prints.
Read Get Your Fashion Night Out On!
Think The Talented Mr. Ripley meets chic surfers, and that's the collection.
The show opened up with everyone looking at the front of the runway. Picture this: The lights are off. The music gets louder and then BAM! You hear a noise from the other end and whoosh! A hot model is skateboarding from the other end. Did I mention that some of the models who skateboarded didn't have shirts on? Whee! Then things got back to normal with the models going down the runway from the beginning.
I took gratuitous hot guy shots for your enjoyment.
Check out the video of the show here:

" The story behind this review is kind of interesting. I was in contact with Meizu about an upcoming portable audio player being released later this year.

Also, Guilty Crown. Don't care how cliched/stereotypical, campy, or stupidly/unnecessarily over the top it is or has been -- it's a guilty pleasure show that I enjoy with NO shame.

You're right. Kirika wasn't bad. I could take or leave that part of the fanservice. But Fear, and especially Kuroe, was just uncomfortable. The latter looks 10 at most, and they're showing her bending over exposing her panties. That makes me feel guilty watching; though there's certainly no pleasure involved at that point.

Shugo Chara, Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z, and Rockman.EXE Starforce. Need I say more?
Actually, I seriously do enjoy Shugo Chara- I don't even care what anyone else says. The other two though...I know they're bad, yet they were among the first series I ever watched, so I have this strange attraction to them. Just don't make me actually watch them.

H.O.T.D. for it's content but the show is so TRASHY FUCKING AWESOME at this point I don't care.
I do admit I watched a LOT of Manyuu Hikenchou (I didn't stick with Queens Blade or Quazar but did Hikenchou, probably because of the MAGICAL BOOBIES MAGNIFICATION POWERZZZ) |

Of course Guilty Crown no less. I mean, despite having train wreck and HUGE directional mess. It has, Kayano Ai in sexy voice (which is quite rare), Hare being very lovable and the chemistry between Ayase and Shu were built upon respect and understanding from ground up, it also has based Gai and I can't wait to see more Segai and his shenanigans while holding his cellphone(?). Tsugumi? looking her dancing inside spherical holographic instrument while doing Holywood hacking in contrast with the usual 'finger dancing' is refreshing. And of course music by Sawano Hiroyuki to boot!
Another one would be To LOVE-Ru: Darkness, I went trough all S1~S2 mess for only one reason: based Momo and Toyosaki Aki to increase more of her power level. Anyway, bump! |

wikiHow to Remove a Door Panel from a Car
Sometimes the car window will not roll up or down. Sometimes the car door handle will not open the door. Then you know it is time to take the inside door panel off.
1Open the door.
2If the lock sticks out of the top of the inner panel, remove it--usually by unscrewing it.
3Locate the inside door lever that opens the door. Pull on it so that you can see if there is a screw underneath the lever. Remove the screw and remove the hard plastic casing around the door lever.
4Look underneath the armrest. You will find screws that hold the armrest to the door. (Sometimes these screws are under plastic covers that have to be popped out with a flat screwdriver.) Remove the screws. Remove the armrest. If your windows are electric, remove the wires attached to the armrest by squeezing the plastic sides of the plug-ins.
5Remove the window crank (if your windows are not electric). Sometimes there is a screw in the center of the crank underneath a decorative cover (old VW Beetle). Pry off the cover and unscrew. Sometimes there is a circlip around the base of the crank. Pry the circlip away from the window crank with a flat screwdriver.
6Use a wide flat putty knife to pry the bottom of the panel away from the metal part of the door. The panel is held to the metal part of the door by means of several plastic grommets, attached to the back of the cardboard panel that fit into holes. Gently pop the grommets out of their holes, trying not to rip them out of the cardboard panel.
7Check to see if there are any screws up near the rear-view mirror or on each side of the windowsill (Audi). Remove screws if there are any.
8Lift the sill up out of its slot by the window and pull the panel away from the door.
9Carefully pull the plastic away from the door so you can see what needs repair.
Community Q&A
How do I take the panel off my 1989 B2200 when the door won't open?wikiHow ContributorThat requires you removing the seat next to the door from the other side. At that point, you should have enough space to remove the door.
How do I take the door panel off of a 2003 Toyota Corolla?wikiHow ContributorTake off screws, slide out the power connector, remove screws, pull off the sail panel, go to the bottom edge and take out pop rivets, lift off the panel, and push the handle. Reverse the steps to put back on.

- Stick the plastic back on. It's tempting just to hang it back in there.
- Some cars use a Phillips screwdriver, others use Allen wrenches, and some use a 12 point screwdriver.
- Each car manufacturer is slightly different so you may have to figure some things out for yourself. Perhaps an internet search will show pictures.
- Window parts are often available on eBay.
- When ordering parts be sure you only order the parts for the exact door you are working on: The driver's side is considered the left side of the car. The passenger side is the right side. (Unless you're in a country where the driver's on the right)

Artist Bio
This wasn't our first encounter with Finn Andrews of the dramatic, cathartic rock band The Veils....
It's been a while since we last heard The Veils on a formal studio recording. Their most recent full-length album Sun Gangs, was released back in 2009....
Last month, we posted The Veils' exquisite session at Abbey Road, which was nothing short of chilling....
Time stays, but The Veils haven't gone anywhere. Over the past four years since we last heard from them, many things have changed in the world, as well as the indie music universe, but that hasn't stopped these guys from diligently working away at their new material....

This subject hits very close to home at this time in my life. I have a 5 yo daughter who just started school.
After reading these posts, I have noticed that the "militant" stand is not being discussed. I am one who views religion as a drug and a scourge of civilizations. To ask if I would allow my child to go to church is akin to asking if i would allow her to try some meth. "well, she could snort some under my supervision, but I would never let her shoot up"
I don't feel that keeping my daughter away from church is the same thing as making her go to church any more than "not-doing heroin" is a form of drug abuse. I will do everything ion my power to keep their brainwashing away from my daughter until she is able to develop some critical thinking skills and cultivate a bit more solid foundation of skepticism.
I will teach her the belief systems of the various religions, but I will do so in the same way that we(here in the US) learned about Paul Bunyan and Babe the big blue Ox, as various folk lore and regional tales. I was raised as a xtian, and moved from religion to religion looking for the "right one" until I finally realized that most(most used simply to avoid hyperbole) religions have a few things in common: they aren't real, they are set up as a means of control, most involve an early indoctrination to make that particular brand of bull shit stick.
We all know the stories of children of fundies who became atheists, and children of atheists who became fundies. Do you all really believe that trying to shape your children's ideology is of any real significance? If you can teach them anything teach them critical thinking skills.
I agree with this. I don't have kids yet, but I have lots of experience and education in early child development, so I know a lot about kids.
I want to teach my children how to think for themselves. Both my family and my husband's family are religious, and I know that our kids will be exposed to Christianity. And I'm ok with that. There are actually a lot of beautiful things about it. And if my kids had questions, we would answer them truthfully. We would let them decide what they want to believe. I want to guide my children to be good people, able of independent thought- but I don't want to control them.
What I would worry about most is if they went to youth group as a teenager and were pressured into "being saved" or something. I remember how emotionally manipulating youth groups could be, and adolescents are very impressionable.
I recall at one point being afraid for my father's soul due to attending a Baptist Church. It wasn't long after that enough stories had accumulated to lead me to say, "Uh no." and move on. As a parent, I would guide them through being skeptical about the claims. Not in telling them to reject the claims, but asking them questions that are certainly leading. "How could someone get air to breathe in a Whale's stomach?" In my head I'm picturing that as teaching them to be skeptical of claims and to weigh the claims rather than accept any information given by someone claiming authority. Next on Future Jerry Springer, a guy who wouldn't let his kids become Christians! [Crowd = "Booo!"]

HT4100 4.1, 4.5, 4.9 Discussion, torque converter portability in Cadillac Engine Discussion; No word yet on my 4.1 engine trouble, but I am still thinking about the 4.9 block swap. One thing ...
torque converter portability
No word yet on my 4.1 engine trouble, but I am still thinking about the 4.9 block swap. One thing I have picked up is that the torque converter on the 4T60 will need some beefing to handle the 50% increase in engine output. I am wondering if anybody knows if the 4T60-E torque converter would be a direct swap? The -E was used on the 4.9 so it should be robust enough.

Re: torque converter portability
Both transmissions use the same part numbers for their torque converters according to where I buy my transmission parts.
As long as the pilot, bolt circle, number of splines and number of mounting lugs are the same, it should work. If I were doing the conversion, I probably would stick with the VCC type clutch. They are very robust as long as you're not towing. They don't work good with towing applications because the VCC introduces some slip and this extra slip while towing could generate too much heat.
My prediction from experience is that if anything fails on your transmission, it won't be the torque converter but it'll be the clutches or sprag gear. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements

This article represents the personal opinion of the author and is not intended to provide legal or other advice or to create an attorney-client relationship.]
Here is an overview of some of the most pressing and exciting employment law issues to watch in 2014, with an emphasis on issues that global companies in particular can expect to see.
1. Implementation of Federal Health Care Law
The Affordable Care Act (ACA)'s "employer mandate" has been delayed until 2015, but health insurance exchanges are scheduled to begin offering limited coverage starting January 1, 2014 and open enrollment is underway. Under the ACA, employers are required to send a Notice to employees about the Health Insurance Marketplace, and may have other implementation-related responsibilities in the coming year, particularly towards the second-half of the year.
2. Social Media in the Workplace
Employee use of social media is now a daily occurrence, and with the increased digitization of the workplace via the use of mobile devices, the line between work and personal online activity is increasingly blurred. Employer attempts to regulate social media activity have been met by some resistance by the NLRB, who has found that at least some provisions in employer policies are overbroad and unlawful. Other related issues are presenting themselves on a regular basis: who owns an executive's LinkedIn account after the executive departs? Do certain posts on LinkedIn or Twitter violate an employee's non-compete agreement? When exactly are Facebook posts protected, concerted activity?
3. False Claims Act
Recent years have seen a steady increase in whistleblower lawsuits under the False Claims Act ("FCA"). These types of lawsuits can result in large settlement payments to individual whistleblowers and government entities. A growing number of such whistleblowers are persons working in compliance – often sophisticated, resourceful and informed of so-called "bad facts." This trend highlights the need for organizations to adopt policies and procedures for situations involving employee complaints. Such policies should have multiple channels for employees to report concerns confidentially, and should include an anti-retaliation provision, among other things.
4. Perception Management
Human resources needs to partner with their communications and media relations departments to manage perception domestically and internationally...
Studies show that corporate America is often viewed negatively by the general public, and this perception may be even more negative overseas. Human resources needs to partner with their communications and media relations departments to manage perception domestically and internationally, which includes developing, promoting and implementing positive "pro-employee" strategies and employee relations practices.
5. New OFCCP Requirements
In late 2013, the OFCCP released final rules with substantial new requirements for government contractors relating to the employment of veterans and of individuals with disabilities. These rules impose major new obligations relate to hiring benchmarks, affirmative action, recordkeeping and other compliance measures, and contractors will be required to comply by March 2014.
6. Evolving Workforce
The workforce is evolving rapidly. A large number of so-called "millennials" are entering the workforce. This generation presents unique considerations for employers: they can be harder to recruit, retain and satisfy as an employee. They are often extremely technologically savvy. They may insist on (and expect) a flexible work schedule. Additionally, the "baby boomers" in the workforce continue to present issues concerning health care costs, disability considerations and compliance issues with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Employers need to consider how to revise their practices and policies to keep the evolving workforce productive and engaged.
7. New Benefits Obligations
In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Windsor that federal laws that apply to opposite-sex spouses must apply equally to same-sex spouses. This ruling invalidated a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act which defined marriage under federal law as between one man and one woman. Employers need to understand how their obligations under the Family and Medical Leave Act and any other benefits laws have been impacted by this ruling, and modify their policies accordingly.
8. Bullying in the Workplace
Bullying in the workplace is unfortunately nothing new. However, employers would be well-served to develop and/or update their policies on workplace bullying. Since 2003, 25 states have introduced anti-bullying legislation. Sixteen bills are currently active in eleven states. Moreover, bullying is often closely tied with workplace harassment claims.
9. Background Checks
The EEOC has focused in recent years on the use of background checks in employment decisions, and employers can expect to see continued attention on this practice in coming years. Employers should be well-versed in laws relating to background checks and should modify their practices and policies to mitigate legal exposure for disparate impact claims.
10. Arbitration
The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals recently overturned a decision by the NLRB holding that an employer had violated its employees' rights by forcing them to agree to arbitration. The NLRB had concluded the arbitration agreement violated employees' rights under the NLRA. The court held the NLRB had failed to give due weight to the Federal Arbitration Act, which requires the enforcement of arbitration agreements according to their terms in most circumstances. This ruling has been widely heralded as an enormous victory for employers, particularly in their efforts to prevent class action lawsuits. However, the court did provide some cautionary guidance of which employers should be aware when developing and enforcing arbitration agreements.
