"Then in the studies of war we excel our enemies in this.
We leave our city open to all men;
nor was it ever seen that by banishing of strangers we denied them the learning or sight of any of those things which, if not hidden, an enemy might reap advantage by, not relying on secret preparation and deceit but upon our own courage in the action.
They, in their discipline, hunt after valour presently from their youth with laborious exercise, and yet we that live remissly undertake as great dangers as they.
For example, the Lacedaemonians invade not our dominion by themselves alone but with the aid of all the rest.
But when we invade our neighbours, though we fight in hostile ground against such as in their own ground fight in defence of their own substance, yet for the most part we get the victory.
Never enemy yet fell into the hands of our whole forces at once both because we apply ourselves much to navigation and by land also send many of our men into divers countries abroad.
But when, fighting with a part of it, they chance to get the better, they boast they have beaten the whole;
and when they get the worse, they say they are beaten by the whole.
And yet when, from ease rather than studious labour and upon natural rather than doctrinal valour, we come to undertake any danger, we have this odds by it that we shall not faint beforehand with the meditation of future trouble, and in the action we shall appear no less confident than they that are ever toiling, procuring admiration to our city as well in this as in divers other things.

zaque, heavy topic to bring up :-).
As an introduction: Chassidus views Hashem as ultimately being unlimited. Which mean He can both decide to limit himself (such as creating the world), to leave himself without any limits (such as doing a miracle which completely changes the natural order of the world), and in addition, can be both limited and unlimited at the same time! Which is impossible for us to understand how that could be, or even attempt to explain it.
A classic example given for Hashem's ability to be both limited and unlimited: Makom HaAron Eino Min Hamidah, the physical place that the Aron Kodesh took in the Kodesh Hakodoshim was not part of the measurement of the Kodesh Hakodoshim. So that, if you were to measure the aron it would measure what Torah says, and if you measured the Kodesh Hakodoshim with the Aron it would measure what Torah says the Kodesh Hakodoshim would measure, and if you measured the space between the walls of the Kodesh Hakodoshim and the Aron it would also measure the same, as if the Aron wasn't there! Hypothetically, of course. But I'm sure you get the drift. It's like another question: Can Hashem make a rock that he cannot lift? Answer: yes, and He can lift it too! Which doesn't make any sense. Which is my point. To try to understand what Hashem, Atzmus UMehus, truly is, is impossible, which is why we just call it Atzmus Umehus: The essence and being of whatever Hashem truly is.
Which is why questions of "Where did Hashem come from? Why?" etc. are irrelevant, because we can't answer that and hope to understand it. As is said "If I knew Him, I would be Him!" The answer to that truly is, Hashem always was, and He alone knows and understands how that works.
What Chassidus does do is called Yedias Hashlilah, which is process of exclusion: I know that we are this or that, or that Ruchnius is this or that, so I know that Hashem CANNOT be that! So that we know that the ultimate of Hashem cannot be anything like what we know about. The next step is called Ein Sof, for the simple reason that we know nothing about it other than the fact that it does have a beginning, which is Atsmus Umehus, but is has no limits, it is infinite, Ein Sof, just as its source is. And so on for other levels of Elokus.
Chassidus also explains that when Hashem decided to create the world, there was not concept of time, Time is created, it is a consequence of people moving through place. Therefore for all intents and purposes in the same instant Hashem existed He decided to create the world. He decided to make the world, in the Alter Rebbe's classic answer, because he wanted to, "and on a Taavah there can be no questions!"
On the other hand, Chasidus also explains that for Hashem to be truly infinite and unlimited He had to excersize all of his powers, abilities. Until the world was created He had only excersized the ability to be infinite. The creation of the world was Hashem "showing" his ability to limit Himself, too.
Is it fair? Have to ask G-d that one! Just kidding. you cannot be Hashem, as the Rambam explains in the very beginning of Yad Hachazakah, because a body automatically means that you are not Hashem. Hashem must be all-powerful, and having a body is a limitation. Is Hashem present in you, too, limited? Yes. But YOU are not Hashem. That is not the ultimate expression of Hashem.
I guess that's a good beginning to Chassidus 101. There is an excellent series on Chassidus called Machsheves Hachasidus, written by Yoel Kahan as a series of articles in Kfar Chabad. They are available by copying from someone who has them, and Kehos has recently began printing them in Seforim. It's in Hebrew, though, with no translation that I know of.

From Skins to Primeval, shows all across the shop are getting the movie treament at the moment – including potentially Doctor Who. Whether at home or abroad, according to the Guardian this is all to do with cross-media branding – a subject that Russell T Davies speaks about confidently.
BBC Worldwide's part in the modern production and success has often been played down (it's the commercial wing of a public service broadcaster, you see) in favour of BBC One senior staff, but Russell is clear in this statement that without BBC Worldwide, there would be no Doctor Who
"Our show couldn't exist without money from BBC Worldwide," he says. "We're running a business from within a public service broadcaster – our merchandising, novels, comic books, towels all help keep the show on air."
Interestingly although the rest of the article covers Skins and In the Loop (from The Thick of It) there is a bit of information about how RTD approached the reimaging of Doctor Who for 21st century viewers.
Davies tried to define the core brand values of Doctor Who, and decided that could be dangerous. "The original Doctor Who was designed by a focus group to fill a gap between Grandstand and Juke Box Jury," he says. "They used to use five words to describe the Doctor, and one of Tom Baker's was 'bohemian', but that started to limit the storylines. I think it's important not to define him in any way, except he's a hero who doesn't use violence.
"Audiences are much cleverer than we give them credit for. They know actors change and producers change and shows change. If you entertain them, they'll stay, if you don't, they'll go. The key thing is to stop worrying and go to work."
It's a very robotic, cold and cynical article on the whole, one which breaks down television shows that people love into numbers and statements. The BBC may not be guilty of milking Doctor Who 100%, but giving these following words, it might not be too far in the future:
Chris Hirst, managing director of the ad agency Grey: "A brand is just a product with emotional values attached."

About Us
Frenkel & Company was founded as a marine insurance brokerage in 1878 by Emil Frenkel, a German immigrant. His sons, George and Leo, embraced Emil's course of entrepreneurial leadership. Together, they established Frenkel's reputation in the New York insurance market, while mentoring the next generation of Frenkel & Company brokers.
In 1985, members of the Frenkel family sold the company to the Frenkel Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This new organization secured Frenkel's status as an independent insurance brokerage. In January, 2001, John F. Kelly and Robert Shunk purchased the firm. Both Kelly and Shunk were mentored in insurance brokerage practices in their early careers by Leo Frenkel. Offices in Jersey City, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California were established during this period of Kelly and Shunk ownership.
In 2010, a recapitalization of the firm was successfully completed. The majority interest in Frenkel is held in family trusts managed by Dobbs Management Service, LLC, located in Memphis, Tennesee. A substantial interest in Frenkel is also owned by its current management team, led by Chief Executive Officer John F. Kelly.
Since 2008, Frenkel has acquired Higger & Company in New York City, The Weiner Company in Boston, Massachusetts, and Stenzco Insurance Services in Torrance, California. These firms are part of strategic plan to expand the service capabilities of Frenkel in the United States.
Today, Frenkel & Company remains independent operating as full service international insurance brokerage.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The following guest post is by Neal Rodriguez, an online marketer who helps companies find their prospects and brand advocates on search engines and social media.
Google has always prided itself with populating its search results with websites that have the highest quantity and quality of links pointing to them. As Google has made its algorithms more sophisticated over the years, it has made the accepted process of having external hyperlinks point to websites a lot harder. As the rules change, ways that marketers have built links to have their websites appear for popular search queries have been discredited. Marketers have had to change their tactics for attracting links or be lost under less popular listings on the search results pages.
Viral marketing blogger, Glen Allsopp, who has been building and marketing websites since he was 15, teaches a system he uses to have websites appear on top of the organic Google search results for queries of popular keywords. During a webinar earlier this month, at no charge to his readers, Mr. Allsopp revealed the link-building tactics that he employs to have his websites appear prominently on the search engine results. He also proves how such tactics have worked by showing case studies of websites on which he has performed such link-building practices on a course he sells for $97 called BacklinksXXX.
A key tactic that Mr. Allsopp teaches is the process of buying domains that already have a high quantity and quality of links point to them. He teaches readers what to look for when buying a domain. For instance, he tells trainees to buy domains with a high PageRank (the score Google uses to gauge the value of a particular website). You could find a long list of tools to check a website's PageRank by Googling pagerank checker. Google reportedly calculates Page Rank by evaluating the quantity and quality of links pointing to a website.
Want to find out where to buy such highly accredited domains? He also tells trainees where to buy such domains, such as on domain auction sites like GoDaddy Auctions and NameCheap Marketplace; other places you could look include Namejet and Sedo.
Mr. Allsopp also teaches how to assess other metrics that can be found by querying the domain on link analysis tools like MajesticSEO. He tells you exactly which numbers to look for when determining whether to buy a domain. For instance, on MajesticSEO, he recommends that the prospective domain should have a large ratio of External Backlinks to Referring Domains. This means that the amount of links pointing to a domain are coming from a wide variety of websites. Further, ensure that the websites linking to a domain in question are websites made for real human visitors, with real followings on social media networks, real comments, social activity like Tweets, Likes, and shares, and links pointed to them from other well content and active-rich websites. Such websites shouldn't appear to be built solely for algorithmic value.
By building links with a high qualitative ranking on Google, Mr. Allsopp argues that you can prominently appear on the Google search engine results with a smaller quantity of links than other websites sharing the same pages.
"Now I'm outranking sites that have thousands of links, and I only have a dozen," Mr. Allsopp said. "Ignoring all other factors like your content and the competitiveness of the keyphrase, it really doesn't take as many links to rank these days if you can get them from really high quality sources."
Mr. Allsopp also teaches trainees how to research keywords for which a business may want to appear on the search engines. I, for one, always ensure that marketed keywords meet three sets of criteria:
Popularity – Ensuring that the search volume a keyword attracts helps your website meets its marketing objectives.
Relevance – The keywords must relate to what members of your target market are regularly querying on the search engines.
Competitiveness – It should be easy for you to appear high in the organic search-results stack for a particular keyword. "Ease" is defined by how many links are already pointing to websites that naturally appear–as in, you didn't pay for it–for a particular keyword on an ordinary search page. The more links, the more competitive your site has to be to show up.
Mr. Allsopp shows you how to use tools to gauge the competitive landscape of each keyword like Open Site Explorer. You execute the same process you use to measure the value of a domain you may buy.
Mr. Allsopp's criteria includes picking keywords that relate to your passion. He strongly advocates creating websites that cover topics that you like. He also provides a list of questions that entrepreneurs should ask themselves when choosing their passion, such as my favorite: When I'm procrastinating online – besides things like gaming – what types of websites do I find myself reading? My personal formula comes in the form of a tweet I posted last spring:
what can you post content on daily? + what do you love? = YOUR NICHE

Showtime is getting into business with Arnold Schwarzenegger on a drama project loosely based on the star's early days in the United States.
The show is called "Pump," and it's set at a bodybuilding gym of that name in early 1970s Los Angeles (Schwarzenegger trained at the first Gold's Gym in Venice). The show will trace the origins of the fitness boom through the gym's regulars, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Schwarzenegger will be an executive producer of "Pump," and if the show goes to series, he plans to play a recurring part. Writer Michael Konyves ("Barney's Version") and Kim and Eric Tannenbaum ("Two and a Half Men") are also executive producers.
Schwarzenegger is a seven-time Mr. Olympia bodybuilding champion, and his appearance in the 1977 movie "Pumping Iron" helped launch his film career. He's returned to Hollywood since leaving the California governor's office in 2011.

Hello everyone, im so thankful to have stumbled across this website. Ive been considering a tummy tuck for quit some time now. Never did i imagined i would be considering plastic surgery. However, after 2 pregnancies and enless diet and excercising my skin just doesnt seem to improve. As much as i lose weight my skin stays loose and wrinkly :( After long hours of research i understood that a tummy tuck was the ideal procedure for me, but i thought, i couldnt afford it was just a distant dream.
I have a co-worker who before me had plans on getting lipo , butt augmentation, breast lift and implants. I thought omg!! that would be sooo expensive!! my mouth dropped when she told me her quoted price. I couldnt believe it! I suddenly realized plastic surgery was also a possibility for me. I was soo excited. I was also content when she told me her doctor was dominican. Yily De Los Santos. Im dominican and talk spanish fluently so i felt good about her. After writing to her, asking her soo many annoying questions, and getting fast sweet straight forward answers i decided to set a date and go for it.
I was really excited and confident in her work until i started reading some negative posts about her hip placement. Along with my tummy tuck i wanted fat transfered to my butt and ofcourse nicer wider hips but now im afraid of my results and what they could be. Another friend told me about Dr Eugenio Lapaix and after looking at his work i was surprised at how shapely and well defined he left his patients. Something that was extremely exciting to me was the skinny waist Yily De Los Santos left her patients and im happy Dr Lapaix does the same. The down side is that there are hardly no reviews of him and thats something i always do before ANYTHING read reviews.
Im hoping that maybe someone knows someone or has heard anything about this doctor to help me make a decision. Yily De Los Santos is still one of my favorite but again her hip and fat transfer reviews have me nervous.
Thank you guys for reading dont hesitate to write
Tummy Tuck with Yily or Lapaix?? Help! - Dominican Republic, DO

Another Nail In The Privacy Coffin
CNET is reporting that the Obama Administration has brought a Silicon Valley tech lawyer on board. Nicole Wong, Twitter's legal director, has been tapped to be the White House's first chief privacy officer. Just yesterday, RT.com reported that Obama is likely to endorse an FBI effort to force all Internet companies in the US provide a way for the government to conduct "undetected, backdoor surveillance". It just makes sense that Obama would bring someone like Wong aboard. She's been immersed in one of the hottest commodities since sliced bread. Her work with Twitter, Google as well as more traditional media gives her sharp chops to work with. The groundwork for legal challenges is being laid and Wong will no doubt serve as a sharp pleader in the administrations corner.
I don't think it takes a PhD in technology to put two and two together on this one. Obama is prepping to take electronic surveillance of the American people to an entirely new level. We've long known that the government can watch anyone and everyone. As far back as the early 80's we had satellites that could take images of license plates. But the age of the internet has now led us to a whole other place: anonymity online is fading into the past, never to return.
What's this whole surveillance move about? Terrorism? Yes. Software piracy? Yes. Hacking of vital infrastructure systems by foreign entities. Sure. Going after those who have a distrust of this administration and question it's motives? Damn right. Admit it, if YOU were in Obama's shoes, wouldn't you want to be able to enter the virtual world of anyone you perceived as not being all-aboard? If the Obama administration has excelled at anything, it's breeding an unprecedented level of distrust and suspicion in the hearts and minds of the American people.
A logical argument is that 'if you aren't doing anything illegal, you shouldn't have anything to worry about'. The vast majority of us aren't doing anything illegal. But millions of us are vocal, sharing our political, religious and social views freely on social networking sites, blogs, etc…,. In the wake of 9/11, the cries for more security were loud and clear. Was security lax? Yes, no doubt. Far too many people appear to have been asleep at the switch. Has the Department of Homeland Security done any good for the safety and security of the American people? Yes. But at what cost? With nearly daily stories about government agencies stockpiling ammunition and the all mighty, all powerful air of self-importance and outright impudence of DHS Director Janet Napolitano, it's not difficult to see how millions of American's could look upon the powers that be with suspicion and even disgust. The moves on the part of Obama to have some sort of 'blanket monitoring' capability of all of us only adds to the feelings of distrust, disgust and suspicion. While the FBI may be watching, DHS will most certainly take the lead in expanded surveillance of the American people. Stay tuned and stay alert.

2008 USGS South New Jersey County Project Lidar: Cumberland County
This kmz file shows the extent of coverage for the 2008 USGS Cumberland County, NJ
lidar data set.
The South New Jersey County Lidar Project is to provide LiDAR data for the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection (NJ-DEP) for Cape May, Cumberland, and part
of Salem Counties in New Jersey. These datasets will be the initial acquisition to
support the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJ-DEP). This LiDAR data set was collected in April 2008
for Cumberland County and covers 502 square miles. The data are classified as follows:
Class 1 - Unclassified/Extracted Features Class 2 - Bare Earth, Ground Class 9 - Water
Class 12 - Overlap

Technical Acquisition Parameters: Utilizing Leica ALS50 II laser systems which can
collect data at laser pulse rates up to 150 KHz, Photo Science flew the project area
at 5,000 feet AGL and utilized a 29 degree full-angle field of view. Flights were
accomplished nominally at 115 knots (ground speed) with a pulse rate of 73,500Hz (73.5
KHz), collecting four returns per pulse. The scan rate was be set at 42Hz. These settings
resulted in a swath of 2,586 feet with maximum along track and cross track spacing
of 4.62 feet (1.41 meters). Environmental Acquisition Conditions: Leaf-Off, snow free,
non-flood conditions, low tide. Low tide: Acquisition was performed within a window
of +/- 3 hours from mean low tide for the project area (flight windows that occur
twice a day, that are approximately six hours in length but could be longer depending
on the lunar cycle). Low tide is defined as when the height of tide is different from
Mean Lower Low water by fifty percent (50%) of the tide range or less as predicted
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Oceanic Service
(NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Product and Services (http://www.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/).
All flight lines affected by tide stage were coordinated with predicted tides at existing
gauges at Cape May, Ship John Shoal, and Reedy Point. Nominal Pulse density: Average
point density is 1.58 points per sq meter Average point spacing is 0.8 meters, or
8 decimeters. Calibration procedures: Photo Science has created a significant boresight
facility at the Frankfort, KY airport where the Lidar platforms are stationed when
not in service. Boresighting at this facility takes place with our Lidar sensors at
numerous times throughout the year. Additionally, a mini-calibration site was established
at the Millville Municipal Airport at the project site. Additional calibration flights
were conducted over this site to ensure accurate determination of the calibration
parameters throughout the times of acquisition. GPS: Acquisition for this project
was broken into three sub areas with base stations from the NGS database selected
near the center of each acquisition area to serve as control for all lifts. Ground
based GPS receivers were occupied at these stations during all aerial collection.
The published NGS positions of these base stations and raw GPS observation data were
used in the kinematic GPS post-processing of all lifts to provide positioning for
the point clouds produced for this project. Maximum and mean differential baseline
lengths: Nominal Maximum base line distance = 20 Miles Mean base line distance = 11
Miles Geoid Model Used: Geoid 03 was used for all elevation conversions to orthometric
heights. Reference System: Horizontal: New Jersey State Plane Coordinate System, 1983
North American Datum, feet Elevation in North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88),
meters. Data delivered from vendor as LiDAR point data in LAS 1.1; ASPRS classification
scheme: Class 1 - Unclassified; Class 2 - Bare Earth Ground; Class 9 - Water; Class
12 - Overlap.
Purpose: | The South New Jersey County Lidar Project is to provide LiDAR data for New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ-DEP). This project acquired and produced high accuracy bare-earth processed LiDAR data in LAS format and 2.0-meter Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) in ArcGrid format for approximately 874 square miles covering the 3 New Jersey counties of Cape May, Cumberland, and part of Salem that is south and west of the Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) line. |

Is that antique a treasure? Find out at Home Show
March 7, 2014 9:46 PMAs the star appraiser for Discovery Channel's show "Auction Kings," Lori Verderame, or Dr. Lori as she's known to viewers, has seen her share of astonishing artifacts. Some have turned up at home and garden shows.
The bubbly woman from Bucks County brings her Antiques Appraisal Comedy Tour to the Pittsburgh Home & Garden Show today through next Sunday. She will examine and appraise -- for free -- one object per person.
Where: David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Downtown.
When: Today through March 16.
Admission: $10 for adults, $4 for children ages 6-12, free for those under 6
Parking: $6 at Heinz Field lots, includes continuous shuttle to the show
Information: www.pghhome.com.
Who: Post-Gazette writers Peter McKay, Gretchen McKay, Doug Oster and Kevin Kirkland will appear at the PG Showcase Stage on the 2nd floor.
"If it's a curiosity to you, bring it to me. If you're interested and curious about it, I want to see it," said Ms. Verderame, a former museum director who taught art history at Penn State's University Park campus.
Inside Downtown's David L. Lawrence Convention Center, she will be at the south end of Aisle 3500 on the convention center's second floor in the Home Interior section. She will appear at noon, 3 and 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, at noon and 3 p.m. Sundays, and at 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Ms. Verderame has lived in Pennsylvania since the 1990s, so she's seen countless Civil War swords and Amish quilts. But even the ordinary can be surprising.
"I've seen an Amish quilt that was worth $8,000 that was bought for 20 bucks at a yard sale," she said in a telephone interview.
At an annual antiques show held in Central Pennsylvania, she appraised a lamp that was wrapped in a cat's bed monogrammed with the name Fluffy. The cat may have been priceless to its owner, but the lamp turned out to be worth $500,000 because it was made by Tiffany.
At a home and garden show in Virginia Beach, she examined a piece of the Berlin Wall.
"These three huge Marines came in. These guys were tanks themselves. They made me look thin. Three of them had been in Berlin when the wall came down. They took a piece home. It was 3 feet by 3 feet" and contained graffiti and rebar. She valued it at $10,000.
Earlier this month, at a home and garden show in Akron, Ohio, Ms. Verderame examined an American Impressionist landscape painting that she valued at $100,000.
At a show in the Philadelphia area, a retired NASA employee brought her the mold for the left moon boot worn by Mercury 7 astronaut Fred Haise.
"In the movie 'Apollo 13,' he's the guy who is sick with the flu," she said.
The mold for the right boot had recently sold at auction for $9,000, so she valued the left boot mold at that price.
At a home and garden show in central Ohio, she saw a World War II dagger engraved with the words, "All for Germany." Worth about $3,000, the dagger was made in the German town of Solingen, known as the "city of blades" because it has long been home to numerous companies that produce fine swords, knives, razors and scissors.
In Omaha, Neb., a man who traded his golf clubs for a good luck charm wondered if he had made a good trade. He showed Ms. Verderame a good luck charm, a crystal sphinx encrusted with rubies and sapphires. The sphinx was 5 inches long, 3 inches tall and 3 inches wide. The charm, which appears in a painting of French Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte that hangs in the Louvre museum in Paris, turned out to be worth $2.5 million.
The French general, Ms. Verderame said, often carried talismans and "was well known for being rather superstitious."
At an event in Houston, a lawyer who decided to take up upholstering chairs for a hobby brought her a drawing in pastel colors. He had purchased a chair at a yard sale and put it in his garage.
The man's wife told him she wanted to park her car in the garage, so he took the chair apart. In its back, he pulled out a piece of cardboard that contained a hand-drawn sketch of dancers by Edgar Degas.
"One had just sold for $100,000," Ms. Verderame said.
In Seattle, she valued a Cherokee papoose with a large back board at $12,000. "The baby goes inside. The leather goes around the child. It's all beadwork."
She asked the couple who had brought the papoose to her if their family was Cherokee. The wife said no, but the husband said yes, adding that he was two-thirds Cherokee.
"They've been married for 45 years, and she doesn't know he's Cherokee!" Ms. Verderame said.

The black and white picture of the B-24 on the front of the time-worn postcard caught my attention. I flipped it over to find my dad's barely legible handwriting, smeared as it was by an aged water stain. It was postmarked, Dec. 12, 1944, from San Marcos Army Air Field, San Marcos, Texas.

I have a new article on Barbara Hammer's new feature film Welcome to This House in Senses of Cinema.
As I write, in part, "Barbara Hammer's Welcome to This House: A Film on Elizabeth Bishop (2015) is that rarity among documentary films – rather than the usual succession of talking heads, shot in a utilitarian fashion, as befits its subject the film is a primarily poetic project, which inhabits the world of Bishop and her poetry, entranced by the beauty of life in all its forms.
As the film's press materials note, 'Welcome to This House is a feature documentary film on the homes and loves of poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979), about life in the shadows, and the anxiety of art making without full self-disclosure, filmed in Bishop's 'best loved homes' in the US, Canada, and Brazil.' It is also much more than that; it is an act of love and resurrection, in which Bishop emerges from the shadows as a fully rounded personage, freed from the constraints of society which so often failed to accept her for who she truly was.
In the film's opening sequence, for example, photos of Bishop and the covers of her books give way to a view from the front porch of her home in Nova Scotia, with flowers and the image of a young Elizabeth intertwined in a tapestry of memory and abstract wonder. As the scene progresses, there are equally dreamlike images of her typewriter, and then a child's hand writing 'Elizabeth' on a chalk slate, as the soundtrack hums and whirs with the sounds of an indolent, mesmeric summer. This gives way to reminiscences of how Bishop was left with her grandparents as a child, deprived of a mother and father, and how she grew up in world of her own creation as a result.
There are, of course, numerous archival materials interwoven throughout the film, but more than anything, Welcome to This House is a film about being Elizabeth Bishop, about finding one's self as an artist, something that Barbara Hammer has being doing for her entire life, over a body of work that covers more than 80 films and four decades of continuous artistic production. In many ways, Welcome to This House is the sort of film that could only be made by a director after years of patient dedication; effortlessly mixing the past, the present, the imaginary and the real to evoke the inner life of Elizabeth Bishop, all the while demonstrating Hammer's absolutely assured grasp of the moving image."

A previous version of this story misspelled the last name of Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh. The story has been corrected.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Here are some of Thursday's biggest gaining and declining stocks:
Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. CTB, +0.92% shares jumped 6% on an unconfirmed report that India's Apollo Tyres is looking to expand into Europe and that acquiring Cooper could help it establish a foothold there.
DragonWave Inc. DRWI, -6.90% shares surged 11%. The company said its second-quarter loss narrowed as revenue improved. Plus, a gain from its recent acquisition of Nokia Siemens Networks' microwave transport business boosted results. The provider of microwave-backhaul equipment to wireless carriers also said Gerry Spencer is stepping down as chairman for family reasons and will be replaced by director Claude Haw.
Fastenal Co. FAST, -1.42% shares ranked as the third-largest S&P 500 gainer, up 8%. The owner of industrial hardware supply stores matched Wall Street's earnings target for the third quarter with profit of 37 cents a share, as revenue rose 10% to $802.6 million.
Softbank in advanced talks to buy Sprint
Japanese mobile carrier Softbank is in advanced talks to buy U.S. operator Sprint Nextel in a deal expected to exceed $12.81 billion in value.
J.C. Penney Co. JCP, +0.36% shares advanced 8%, rising on news that the company's new strategy may finally be showing signs of life. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh told investors that his company's products are selling better at J.C. Penney.
New York Times Co. NYT, +0.00% shares rose 4% after Barclays upped its rating on the stock to overweight. The big reasons: stabilizing cash flows and the possibility the newspaper ramps up its dividend after asset sales that have boosted cash on hand. "The increase in circulation revenues from the company's digital paywall is now meaningful enough to offset the decline in print advertising," Barclays analyst Kannan Venkateshwar wrote in a note. "The company is not only gaining digital subscribers, it is also adding to its Sunday home delivery subscriber base now after many years of decline."
PrivateBancorp Inc. PVTB, +1.28% rose 6% after the bank sold $75 million in stock. Those funds, along with proceeds from a debt offering, will go toward redeeming preferred stock that PrivateBancorp issued under the federal government's TARP program.

Sprint Nextel Corp. S, -2.47% scored the biggest percentage gain among S&P 500 index components, jumping 14%. The Wall Street Journal reported that Japanese mobile carrier Softbank Corp. 9984, +0.89% is in advanced talks to buy the wireless company in a deal with a potential value that could top $12.8 billion. Sprint subsequently confirmed the talks. Read: Sprint jumps on deal talks with Softbank.
Dollar Tree Inc. DLTR, +1.62% shares sank 8% as the discount retailer said third quarter sales are running at the low of its previous forecast. The stock closed as the biggest S&P 500 decliner.
MetroPCS Communications Inc. US:PCS shares fell 3%. The stock was cut to underperform by analysts at Oppenheimer & Co., following the prepaid wireless carrier's deal announced last week with T-Mobile USA.
Safeway Inc. US:SWY dropped 4% on the supermarket chain's third-quarter earnings report. Same-store sales continue to be very sluggish and gross margins were pinched. The supermarket chain stuck by its 2012 forecast for profits and free cash flow.
Voxx International Corp. VOXX, +0.00% shares fell 6%. Late Wednesday, the company trimmed its outlook for fiscal-2013 earnings and blamed weak business performance in Europe.

There doesn't seem to be one for SW this year. Trek has one - Ilia Probe - but I haven't heard anything about SW having one. Which isn't unusual as Trek didn't have a limited one last year.

There doesn't seem to be one for SW this year. Trek has one - Ilia Probe - but I haven't heard anything about SW having one. Which isn't unusual as Trek didn't have a limited one last year.
Is it really?
...what's the point of getting the dream book if they don't include this info...
One word, repeated: JAR-JAR! :eek:
I saw a Hallmark store had posted the day that the ornaments (like Greedo) would go up on sale, but my forgetful memory lost the date.
According to the Hallmark Dreambook, "Save these special dates in 2009 - Keepsake Ornament Premiere: July 11-12, Keepsake Ornament Debut: October 10-11, Holiday Open House: November 7-8."
And these are the SW ornaments listed:
- Han Solo [wearing stormtrooper armor, sans helmet] (13th in the SW Series) $15.00
- Luke's Landspeeder $22.50 [doesn't say it's electronic, though]
- A Deadly Duel [Obi-Wan on other side of laser shield wall, while Qui-Gon batttles Maul] (gate illuminates, lightsaber battle sounds) $32.00
- Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano (set of two) $15.00 [available in Oct.]
Other cool, but not SW:
- Retrieving the Idol (Indiana Jones) $18.50
- Starfleet Phaser (ST) $18.50
- Spider-Man (on Amazing Fantasy #15 cover) $16.50
- Mr. Plow (battery operated! :yes: ) $20.00
- Robby the Robot $18.50
- Swedish Chef (battery operated! ) $18.50
- World's Best Boss (The Office, battery operated! ) $16.50
- Ecto-1 (GB), (battery operated! ) $18.50
- Frankly, My Dear (GWTW, and @$%#&! battery operated! ) $24.00
- Where the Wild Things Are $15.00
- Ralphie's Pink Nightmare $16.50 (battery operated! ) and What a Lamp! $12.50 from ACS
- Galaga (battery operated! ) $18.50
- Hannah Montana (battery operated... :cry: ) $16.50
I thought the Batman figure "Descending Upon Gotham" was pretty spack-tack-you-lar.
Yeah, the Batman ornament looks great. I wonder if there will be a limited comic character, then? Last year they had a limited Joker.
Anone here going to Comic Con?
Looks like they have a Hallmark Exclusive. And I'm not going to be there.... Any help is appreciated!
That's kind of cool; but really lame. The limited ones have been bad enough, but SDCC exclusives now too? Ridiculous. I've always seen the Keepsake Ornaments as simple family fun; not an extension of the annoying collectibles market that can easily become hellbent with elitist attitudes as the costumers are split between those that will go to any length and any price to accumulate the most limited items, while others without those financial means become alienated and angry. I didn't know of the exclusive Clone ornament; I first heard of Hallmark having an SDCC exclusive from an announcement about an exclusive repaint of their previously limited Uhura ornament, this time she would be in her gold uniform from an early TOS episode. This infuriates me as I don't get the Trek figurine ornaments, but I do get all of the SW ones and have managed to get the limited ones. Looks like this will be the exception.

Saturday, April 15, 2017 (Time Trials @ 7 PM) LEFFLER ENERGY NIGHT 410 Sprint SPRING CHAMPIONSHIP and 358 Sprints Gates open at 5 PM
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 9/4/10 - Theres nothing like winning on your sponsors night. Especially when you nail down a third straight track title.
Brian Montieth left no doubt who the best was at Lincoln Speedway in 2010 by coming from his 12th starting spot to chase down polesitter and race-long leader Derek Sell, pass him for the lead on a 11th-lap restart, and then pull away from the field to pick up his fourth win of the year in the 25-lap 410 Sprint feature.
With the win, Montieth nailed down his third-straight track championship and joined some elite company by joining legendary drivers Bobby Allen (67, 69, 70), Bobby Abel (60, 65, 66) and Kenny Weld (68, 70, 71) with three track championships.
The win, Montieths 20th of his career at Lincoln, also moved him into a tie for 15th on the all-time win list with Bud Folkenroth and Bobby Hersh.
"I cant complain about this thing," said Montieth in victory lane, "Scott (Zellers), Todd, and Craig work on this thing every week and Jerry (Parrish) gives them everything whatever they need to keep this thing up front. There are so many people to thank...XXX (chassis), obviously Brickers French Fries, the Beer Hill Gang, everybody at Premier, the Penske Shocks that weve been on the last couple of weeks...its a tough crowd here at Lincoln. Its fortunately I can sit in this thing and get it to go."
"Ive got respect for everybody else out there," continued Montieth when reminded of the respect that the other drivers have shown for him, "Were going good right now, but on any given night, you can turn this around. We struggled last night, and that just goes to show that every race is its own entity. I just keep trying."
Sell led from the outset with outside frontrow starter ed Aikin giving chase over the first nine non-stop laps.
But Montieth was on the move. The Phoenixville racer moved into the top-five by lap four. He passed Chad Criswell on the sixth lap for fourth, drove around Pat Cooper on lap nine to move into third, and got by Aikin on lap 10 to move into the runner-up spot.
Thats when a caution came out for a spinning Josh Wells in turn four, putting the Premier Auto Works/Auto Locator #21 on the back bumper of the TheDirtShop.com #20s.
Sells lead didnt last much longer. Montieth drove around Sell in the first two turns after the restart, and only two cautions and a red kept the field in the same zip code.
Tim Glatfelter got backwards and collected Brian Leppo on lap 17, Fred Rahmer lost steering and spun entering turn one of lap 22, and then an eight-car melee on turn one of the 23rd-lap restart brought out the events only red. There were no injuries in the crash.
Montieth pulled away from the field over the last three laps to cross 2.93 seconds ahead of 13th-starting Alan Krimes, with Brad McClelland, Sells, and 16th-starting Brent Marks completing the top five.
"Everybody was saying that it was designed for us to win on our night," said car owner Jerry Parrish, "We come here to win EVERY night. Everybody sitting in the seats watched that move (for the lead) down here (turn four) where he stuck between that car and the wall, and were talking going between the wall and a car that doesnt have as much experience...and trust in that. That just takes nerve, thats all him."
Sixth through tenth were Danny Dietrich, Cory Haas, Jimmy Siegel, Aikin, and Pat Cooper.
Heats for the 22 "410" sprinters were won by Sell, Glatfelter, and Chad Criswell.
Waynesboros Travis Beaver came from 16th starting spot to claim his first career win in the 20-lap "358" late model feature.
The wild race included a battle for the lead on nearly every lap.
Bob Stough led from the outside pole for the first ten laps before yielding to fifth-starting Mike Goodwin. Goodwin, looking for his first career "358" late model win, led the next seven laps before Beaver grabbed the lead on lap 18.
To get to the front, Beaver had to pass points leader Gene Knaub (who started 12th), Mike Walls, and, among others Craig Wagaman, who had been racing Goodwin for the lead.
Wagaman, Walls, and 11th-starting D.J. Mease crossed third through fifth, with Shaun Jones, 15th-starting Bernie Beard, Stough, Travis Mease, and Bobby Beard completing the top ten.
Heats for the 22 "358" Late Models were won by Steve Billet, Duane Harbaugh, and Stough.
Duaine Smith chased the leader for 22 laps before taking the lead and winning the 25-lap super sportsman feature.
Smith, who started fourth, was scored second all 22 laps before driving around second-starting and race-long leader John Garman through heavy lapped traffic in turns three and four of lap 23.
The race-winning pass came just before the final caution of the event, during which time Smiths car began making the noticeable sound of a cracked header. Smith nursed the #11s over the final two laps, holding off Garman for the win by .97 seconds.
Scott Dellinger, Eric Eckert, and Rich Eichelberger completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Frankie Herr, Dave Socks, 18th-starting Paul Miller, Rick Barr, and Mike Enders.
Heats for the 32 Super Sportsman were won by Chris Meleason, Dellinger, and Garman, with Paul Miller winning the consolation.
Next Saturday night, September 11, at 7:30 PM, the 358 sprinters will close out their season in the final event for them in 2010 at the Pigeon Hills oval with the battle for the track championship on the line. Logan Schuchart and defending 358 sprint champ Dale Hammaker are deadlocked with 3,505 points each. Then Tim Wagaman and Glenndon Forsythe are tied for third and only 110 points behind the leaders. In all, the top-six drivers all have a shot at the track championship in this final race.
The Thundercars, Central PA Legends and All-American Outlaws will round out the 4-division show with gates opening at 5:30 PM.

text: Skullgirls Changes Name, Will Be Re-Listed on Consoles Next YearAndrás Neltz12/18/13 4:00amFiled to: skullgirlsskullgirls encorekonamixboxxbox 360xblaplaystationps3psnkotakucore814EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkEverything's okay, or at least, will be okay, according to Skullgirls developers Lab Zero: the game will live on.As you might recall, following Lab Zero's and Konami's parting of the ways, hand-drawn fighting game Skullgirls was slated for de-listing on the Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. It still is—the game will be removed from both services on December 31. Lab Zero, however, managed to find new publishers for the game, which will be sold in 2014 as Skullgirls Encore.Encore will behave differently on each platform: the PSN version will count as a separate, new game, meaning achievements, leaderboards, and saves will be wiped, and previously bought DLC will be rendered incompatible (to counter this, Lab Zero will make the all-encompassing Color DLC Bundle free for a limited time). AdvertisementAdvertisementOn XBLA, the game will receive a patch. From a technical standpoint, it will be the same game, so achievements, leaderboards, and saves will remain intact, with DLC remaining compatible. Regardless, the Colors Bundle will be free for a limited time here as well, but since the game's new build cannot be submitted to Microsoft until after the holidays, transitioning to Encore and re-listing will happen later compared to PSN.Encore will be free to Skullgirls owners on both platforms, and the original version will remain playable as the transition takes place. As to when people can actually buy the game again, Lab Zero has the rough estimate of "sometime in January 2014." And here's a little bit of good (better) news: Squigly, the first DLC character, will also be made available on consoles at the same time—naturally, for free.Skullgirls Encore and You [Lab Zero Games, thanks Sergio!]SponsoredQuestions?

WORD UP! 2012: A Poetry Slam for Jefferson County High School Students
Birmingham, Alabama—WORD UP!, a poetry slam for high school students who are enrolled in schools—or home schooled—throughout Jefferson County, celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. The event will be held on Sunday, April 1 at 3:00 p.m. in the Richard Arrington, Jr. Auditorium at the Central Library located at 2100 Park Place. The slam is sponsored by the Birmingham Public Library (BPL). Students in grades 9 through 12 write and perform an original work of poetry inspired by a theme selected by the WORD UP! planning committee. In keeping with the spirit of this year's anniversary, the theme for WORD UP! 2012 is "milestones." Each participating high school holds a preliminary contest, and the winners from each school compete in the WORD UP! competition. The contestants are judged on content and performance by a panel of three judges in the competition for cash prizes.
The students participating represent the following high-schools: Alabama School of Fine Arts (ASFA), Birmingham City Schools—Jackson-Olin, Parker, Wenonah, and Woodlawn; Jefferson County Schools—Clay-Chalkville and Shades Valley, and independent systems ---Hewitt-Trussvile, Leeds, Spain Park, and Tarrant. Each of the students will perform their original poetry, competing to earn one of three spots. The first place winner receives $300, second place $200, and third place $150.
Past winners of WORD UP! are outstanding scholars and leaders. During the four years the BPL has hosted the competition, more than 300 students have participated in the preliminary contests held at their schools and 60 students have competed in WORD UP!, including Derrick Spencer, the 2011 winner and Erika Wade who won first place in 2008 and 2009.
Spencer's original work "Alabama" was inspired by the poem "Daybreak in Alabama" by Langston Hughes. Currently a student at Howard University in Washington, D.C., majoring in English, Spencer praised WORD UP! for its positive influence on young people in the Birmingham area. "The Birmingham Public Library's 2011 WORD UP! contest was a milestone for me, because it inspired creativity among the metropolitan area's youth while endorsing literacy and the importance of public libraries. As a young advocate for education, I admired the program for its efforts," he stated.
During the competition, Spencer represented Ramsay High School, one of the Birmingham City Schools. A native of Birmingham, Spencer immersed himself in the city's arts scene. He also participated in the Alys Stephens Center's (ASC) Make It Happen as part of the Performing Ensemble and as a vocal soloist. The Make It Happen Ensemble was created by ASC in 2008 "to offer dedicated students an opportunity to receive high-quality acting instruction and allow them to create their own performance piece."
Erika Wade, who won first place in the WORD UP! Student Poetry Slam the first two years of the competition, will return to WORD UP! 2012 as a judge. Wade won while she was a student at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. At ASFA, she was a poetry editor of the ASFA student publication, "Cadences."
Wade stated that "Winning the WORD UP! competition introduced me to a community of young writers and a greater surrounding of people who encouraged and uplifted us. Young writers rarely get affirmation in their efforts; oftentimes, this lack of support makes them abandon the art all together. The WORD UP! competition provided healthy rivalry, and more importantly a safe space for young writers to be respected as professionals. This contest was a great propeller for my future success, and will always be dear to my heart".
After graduating from ASFA, Wade enrolled in the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa (UA) with a double major in African American Studies and English with a minor in Creative Writing and specialization in the University Honors Program. In 2010 she published her first book of poetry, "eyestodewhurld" (Blue Rooster Press) which was incorporated into the Huffman High School Advanced Placement (AP) English curriculum. Wade is the current editor of the UA's literary journal, "Marr's Field Journal" and is a Teach for America Rising Leaders Fellow. She is a Blackburn Institute Fellow for 2011-2012; the Institute's mission is to develop "a network of leaders… who have a clear understanding of the challenges that face the state of Alabama."
Word UP! 2012 is made possible by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. The mission of Birmingham Public Library is to provide the highest quality library service to our citizens for life long learning, cultural enrichment and enjoyment. This system—with 18 locations and serving the community for 125 years—is one of the largest library systems in the Southeast.
