French filmmaker Alain Resnais dies at 91
PARIS – Alain Resnais, the French filmmaker whose cryptic "Last Year at Marianbad" extended its influence across generations, has died at 91.
Resnais was editing drafts of his next project even from his hospital bed, according to producer Jean-Louis Livi, who was working on the film with him.
Resnais, who died Saturday, was renowned for reinventing himself during each of his full-length films, which included the acclaimed "Hiroshima Mon Amour" in 1959 and most recently "Life of Riley," which was honored at the Berlin Film Festival just weeks ago.
"He was a man of the highest quality, a genius," Livi told France Info radio on Sunday, confirming Resnais' death with "enormous sadness, accompanied by enormous pride."
French President Francois Hollande said France had lost "one of its greatest filmmakers."
"He received all the recognition and prizes. But what counted for him was always his next work," Hollande said in a statement.
"Last Year at Marianbad" is his most influential work, mixing fragments of time and weirdness within a castle. The 1961 film is routinely cited among the highest works of French New Wave artistry, although Resnais' career extended well beyond that period. It has been cited by fans as varied as filmmaker David Lynch and the late Jackie Kennedy, who screened the movie at the White House.
"I'm a bit surprised to be so shocked by the death of someone who was 91. Usually we take this news with a kind of calm sadness," said Danis Podalydes, an actor and director who worked with Resnais. "But the intellectual youth of this man was so surprising."
Thierry Fremaux, head of the Cannes Film Festival, said Resnais' films tended to fly past the festival's judges, who were not always enamored of his work.
"He pushed the aesthetic and narrative experimentation very far, and then he completely renewed his style," Fremaux told the French network LCI.

|Biochemical processes are well known for their superior performances in the upgrading of heavy crude oils. Based on a similar experimental strategy, a new technology was developed using biochemical process for the conversion of fossil fuel wastes into valuable biomaterials. The technology, developed by Brookhaven National Laboratory and based on a well-developed "Hydrocarbon to Protein" technology, is able to convert used oils to commercially valuable products through a biochemical process.; Production and utilization of fossil fuels generate wastes that contain EPA priority pollutants, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and toxic metals. Used oil, which often contains metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons and other organic compounds, including many that are listed as EPA priority pollutants, is a good example that is generated at a rate of more than 1.5 billions gallons per year in the U.S. As a result, the associated impact to the environment is huge when there is uncontrolled dumping and landfilling of used oil in the environment. Used oil is a valuable resource and a vital source of energy; it still has lubricating value and heat value. Following the proper treatment to remove contaminants, used oil can be re-refined into base lube oil, reprocessed as fuel oil, or used as feedstock to produce petroleum-based products or other commercially valuable products via different processes. The high contamination levels in some used oils, however, increase the difficulties in the operations and generate hazardous byproducts as secondary pollutants. A large portion of the recycled used oil is combusted for energy utilization (often creates air pollution problems) or thermally destroyed by incineration (only when the oil has a high concentration of toxic contaminants that makes recycling impractical or unsafe).; For BNL's process, preliminary results showed that biomass generated from used oil contains 90% delipidated biomass and 10% lipids. The live biomass, delipidated biomass, and lipid have been proved successful in many applications and have high market values. However, there are problems encountered in the process, such as the poor quality and inconsistency of the bioproducts. The contaminants in the used oil are toxic to the bacteria strains used in the biochemical process and lower product yields. Another concern is the potential bioaccumulation of these toxins in the bioproducts. A proper pretreatment process is necessary to remove these toxins from the used oil stock to enhance the yield efficiency of the bioconversion process and improve the quality of the bioproducts.; A chemical-aided ultrasonic irradiation method is proposed to remove/degrade the toxins from used oil. Target contaminants that need to remove from used oil include heavy metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons, BTEX compounds, PAHs, and PCBs. Ultrasound irradiation is widely used in environmental cleanup applications to remove/degrade many toxic compounds in contaminated soils and waters; it is proven to be effective on many fossil fuel related applications, including upgrading and recovery. Free radical chain reaction is believed to be the dominant reaction to cause the effects in these systems. Ultrasonic irradiation has the ability to initiate and enhance the free radical generation from both water molecules and hydrocarbons. Hence, it could effectively remove/degrade the toxins in used oil with appropriate chemical additions. If technically and economically proven feasible, the chemical-aided ultrasonic irradiation process may be used not only as the pretreatment step for BNL's biochemical process, but could also become a pretreatment package in other used oil recycling and reprocessing options.; To develop a pretreatment package for BNL's process (biocoversion of used oil), the chemical-aided ultrasonic irradiation is server as the basic terminology. Accompanied by destructive adsorption process, the removal efficiency for the decontamination of used oil is greatly enhanced. Optimal operating conditions will be examined and from the results of this study, it seems that this process is a feasible option to pre-treat toxic contaminants before further recycle or reuse options are applied to used oil.

I never use 4 season tires here in Quebec Canada, only winter-snow tires. The third summer, I thought my wheel bearings were shot. This was not the case, it was my 4 season Coopers CS3. On dry pavement, they are louder than my winter tires. Not good and I need a reply from the dealer or manufacturer before buying Coopers again.

If you have aluminum rims do not purchase. When they go low, and they will, if you don't notice it right away the inner wall cracks and the warranty does not cover it.

I fully admit that our Mutsubishi Endeavor LS full time AWD eats tires even with a good alignment. The Cooper CS3 touring have been the absolute worst wearing tire we have had on this car! And I mean the tires are wearing flat and even with no chopping or cupping! The noise is terrible too where the wine is vibrating the car! And I mean NOISE not an out of balance throb! I am going back to the Continental Cross Contact. I will get 38K instead of 17K.

I purchased these just before winter set in last year and they were awesome. A great deal.
5 out of 5Submitted by Susan in Florida on 10/8/2014(2000 Ford Mustang Base)
The Coopers replaced some Yokahamas that were on the vehicle at purchase, which my sons thought were very cool. Two days after purchasing the Coopers, my youngest son and I were caught in a torrential, Florida rain storm with flooded streets the whole way home, and I was more confident driving in that than I would have been with those old tires. The Coopers handled well and I really love the look on the mustang. I used to put Coopers on an old Astro van I owned and these tires are made right here in the USA.
*Cooper tires only, for the last (20) yrs!!
5 out of 5Submitted by Tom in Illinois on 8/25/2014(2000 Dodge Intrepid ES)
I had all 4 tires replaced with a set of the Cooper CS3 T-rated tires. They are so much quieter than the previous tires and provide a smooth ride. I can't give a "Snow Traction" rating as I have not had the tires through a winter yet.
4.45 out of 5Submitted by Dan in Iowa on 8/15/2014(2004 Pontiac Grand Am SE)
Great tires for the price. They provide a very smooth ride and are fairly quiet. I would absolutely suggest these tires to other shoppers.

We purchased these a couple months ago and my wife loves them. She talks about the lack of sway in the car, the quiet noise, and the feel of confidence in driving the car. I am purchasing the same tires for my daughter's car. I love the confidence they will have driving in today's conditions.

I really enjoyed these tires and I do prefer bidirectional tires since I can rotate to any side of the car for better wear. Thanks for making such a safe and great tire. I commute many miles to work every day and my life depends on such good tires. Thank you.

I purchased a set of these tires at 41,600 miles. Two of the four tires failed at 51K, and were replaced under warranty. I now have 64,800 miles on my van and all four tires are worn out. The vehicle has been alligned 3 times since purchasing the tires, so alignment is not the problem. I got less than 35K on the original two tires. They are practically slicks! I will NEVER so long as I live buy another set of Cooper tires: not at any price!
Have been using Cooper CS4 tires on my two Suzuki esteems for years. I always got nearly 55,000 mile service from all three sets purchased.
Purchased CS3 tires the last time since CS4 has been discontinued.
Less than 31,000 miles the tires are worn out
on a properly aligned vehicle on perfectly balanced set of tires.
NEVER AGAIN !!!! I am done with Cooper tires!!!!
I started using Cooper Tires for our fleet of vehicles at my company after many complaints of poor grip in the wet from other tires. I stated using these tires on our Nissan Sentras. After no complaints I put a set on my personal car. 1998 BMW 323is. These are great tires. I live in the mountains so I drive about 100 miles a day. These tires hold the road great even in the wet. I push my car hard in the twisty mountains and I have no issues with grip. These tire are comparable to the Michelin Pilots I did have but can no longer get. Great price as well. Highly recommend them to any one. The CS5 are great too with Mini vans.
Tire is not quiet. Would not purchase again. Noise effects overall rating of tire.
I got 4 tires for a 2014 kia forte put them on around the 25000 mile mark. Now have just over 54000 miles and the tires are below the wear bar indicators. Tires were maintained and rotated every 5000 to 7000 miles and every tire has the same amount of tread to the 32nd of the inch I would say they are no good
I had a set of the Cooper CS3 installed on my Subaru Impreza just yesterday drove to the rain this morning standing puddles of water tired never wavered a bit it held the road just as if it was dry the ride is greatly improved from the stock OEM Yokohama Avid s33 that came on the car 17000 miles tires were gone. so far I love the rain I love how it handles in the Rain the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I have not driven it in the snow yet but from the way it looks these tires preform great in the snow. The reason the three on the teadwear is I haven't had him that long I don't know and I didn't mark anything on the durability because I do not know that yet but I will be updating my review later
Put a set of 215-70-15's on my 99 Pontiac Montana a few months back and I like them a lot. Improved handling, good gas mileage, good traction in heavy rain. Drove through three blizzards so far this winter, haven't gotten stuck once. Overall a very good tire. I do mostly poor condition secondary roads and highways driving. 30 miles one way to work. Nice quiet ride, good handling. No complaints from me.
This tire is terrible. I paid so much money 5 months ago to get this tire . Now, i have to replace them. Dont waste your money on this .
3 years and 80000 miles on the current set of CS3's. In that time never a complaint. It's time to replace them. No question what I to buy.
I purchased these tires in 195-65-15 for an old Nissan Altima. My local tire shop had a sale going. Cooper tires have always been quality. I have not run into a Cooper ind Don't like. But the CS3 really takes the cake. The ride is perfect. No road noise (put on my old car with over 200k on it). Wet and snowy weather, that is the place these tires really take the cake.
I drive freeway/mountain roads in central and northern Utah. These tires are all about wet weather traction. In snow and freezing weather these tires did fantastic. Rainy and standing water...nailed it!
I had to replace the car due to mechanical issues. Unfortunately my new car won't fit the old car tires...almost 30k miles on the Cooper set and they look new.
I will be buying his tire for all my cars. Kids cars. Moms car.
Thank you Cooper for a well engeneared and designed tire.
P.S. I am not paid by Cooper. I just love these tires and the Cooper brand. They have always done me well.

Argentine Bahia Grass Seed (Coated) (Paspalum Notatum) - Argentine Bahia grass seed is the best lawn grass and pasture grass seed available in our opinion for the Southern climates especially Florida. Argentine Bahia grass makes an excellent low maintenance permanent lawn grass or pasture grass. Argentine Bahia grass is very drought tolerant, deep rooted and has exceptional disease and insect resistance. Argentine Bahia grass makes an excellent pasture grass for horses, cattle and any other type of livestock.
Seed Rate: 50-100 lbs per acre; 5-10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
Seed Depth: 1/4 inch
Planting Time: Spring - Summer
pH: 5.5 - 6.5
Fertilizer: 16-04-08
Plant Argentine Bahia grass Seed at 50 to 100 pounds per acre for pasture applications or 5 to 10 pounds per 1000 sq. feet for lawn applications. Argentine Bahia grass makes a problem free lawn grass if properly maintained. Argentine Bahia grass doesn't require as much water to survive and flourish as more commonly used Saint Augustine lawn grass varieties. After establishment Argentine Bahia grass will survive with little maintenance. The Fertilization of lawns or pastures three to four times a year is vital to establish and maintain a life time lawn or pasture.
Seed Rate: 50-100 lbs per acre; 5-10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
Seed Depth: 1/4 inch
Planting Time: Spring - Summer
pH: 5.5 - 6.5
Fertilizer: 16-04-08
Argentine Bahia grass seed is commonly used for lawn and pasture applications across the Southern United States including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, North East Texas, and the South West California. For more information on how well Argentine Bahiagrass grows in your exact location please call or contact us.
For orders over 250 lbs. please use our eQuote system for DISCOUNTS!
"Planting and Maintenance Instructions are Included"
Lawn Applications:
New Lawns - Plant 5 to 10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
Over seeding an existing lawn - Bare spots can be easily filled in by spreading the area by hand or with a spreader. Remember after spreading the seed to lightly rake in the seed to cover no deeper than 1/4 inch. To properly over seed the entire lawn use 2 to 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. after removing as much unwanted dead or living vegetation. Argentine Bahiagrass is commonly used to replace bare or insect damaged areas in Saint Augustine lawns in Florida.
Pasture Applications:
New Pastures - Plant 25 to 100 lbs. per acre.
(25 lbs. takes 12 - 24 months to fully sod the pasture.)
*The more seed applied to the lawn or pasture on the first planting the faster the lawn or pasture will fully establish a sod or grass base and prevent future over seeding to fill in bare spots.
Overseeding an existing pastures: Over seeding rates depend on the amount of established or existing grass in the pasture area. Common application for over seeding is 50 lbs. per acre.
Fertilization Recommendations:
Lawn Fertilization: Apply 5 - 10 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per 1000 sq. ft. four times a year(Late Spring, Mid Summer, Late Summer, Early Fall) for the first two years. After a fully established lawn has been accomplished apply 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. two times (Mid Summer,Late Summer) a year.
Pasture Fertilization: Apply 250 - 350 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per acre in Late Spring, Mid Summer and Early Fall. Animals that are grazing will damage the Bahiagrass pasture if the pasture is not properly fertilized annually. The grass must be provided with adequate nutrients to compete with the animals.

AUGUSTA — Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall, D-Richmond, touted Friday the benefits of a bill he sponsored to repay debt owed the state's hospitals using an upfront fee tied to the state liquor contract.
At a work session before the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, Goodall said an opposing bill from Gov. Paul Le- Page raises too many questions about the cost and risks to the state. LePage's measure, L.D. 239, would pay an annual fee to an outside vendor to run state liquor operations for 10 years.
Goodall suggested his proposal, L.D. 644, which would require an upfront payment of $200 million or payments in installments, would give a potential vendor more incentive to run the business well.
"When someone puts their costs on the line, they are incentivized to run the business as best they can," Goodall said. "There are millions of dollars at stake."
Both proposals would tie the liquor contract to the repayment of debt to state hospitals. Maine's 39 hospitals are owed $484 million in overdue Medicaid reimbursements.
Sen. Garrett Mason, R-Lisbon Falls, spoke against the upfront fee, saying a vendor would charge for the cost of financing that money.
"I am absolutely against an upfront payment. I think we will lose a lot of money," Mason said.
Despite the differences in the proposed bills, Goodall suggested that there could be some agreement reached on some aspects of the request for proposal for a new liquor vendor.
"I see a meeting of the minds very quickly on the RFP and the RFP process," Goodall said. "Does this committee want to keep this business entirely in the private sector or have a hybrid approach? You need to dive in and look at what specifics should be in the law.
"Move all the sections into one bill, and look at the value of money as well as the cost of a revenue bond."
The next work sessions on the liquor bill will be held Wednesday and Friday.

Francis Marshall: Condensed
While details of Francis Marshall's career don't seem to be readily available, we can guess that the 1950's were a busy, productive time for him.
In addition to whatever work he was finding in England, he had been discovered by the editors of Reader's Digest Condensed Books.
All of these illustrations date from 1955 to 1958...
then, in 1959, Marshall's book "Magazine Illustration" was published, which suggests that the artist was enjoying a busy career doing, well, magazine illustration.
Also in '59, Marshall's RDCB work was included in the first annual show (and book) of the Society of Illustrators, as noted in this November 1959 article from American Artist magazine.
We've already determined that Marshall preferred to sketch 'from life', and some of his large scenes like the one below might have been done on location...
... but I think its unlikely that, in some of the complex story specific scenes (like the one below), he posed everyone and asked them to hold still while he executed his drawing. Did Marshall rely on photo reference, drawings culled from his many sketchbooks, or did he create these figures 'out of his head' for these scenes?
Here's another interesting example: The background scene in the pub very likely was done on location. It looks like Marshall probably inserted the story's main characters (at lower right) to an existing drawing from his sketchbooks.
Once again, thanks to Harold Henriksen for sharing all these terrific Francis Marshall illustrations with us!

Your blog is the best. I love all the classic inspiration. So many amazing artists!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the blogs about Francis Marshall! Feel free to link to any of my FM Barbara Cartland covers!
Both he and Allan Kass are my favorite illustrators! Of course, I discovered them from reading romance novels, which goes to show that you can find good art anywhere!
Sorry for coming so late to the debate - time-zones and all that.
Marshall was a prolific sketcher as I've attempted to be over the last decade or so. What I've found is that having built up a library of sketches of people -often just parts of the shoulder, the way a coat is draped, etc, pretty boring stuff in its own right - that it's easier to build up a rough layout of a scene much as a storyboard artist would and then by referencing your sketches to create a scene that looks like it was drawn on the spot. I think Marshall did this a lot -see the Stork club illustration from your first post - surely Orson Welles didn't hang about for a Limey artist to sketch him down on paper!
Roger; that does sound like a logical process - thanks for sharing your insight (and for sharing all those wonderful FM scans we've enjoyed this week). Regarding the Orson Welles thing: I must admit I accepted that Marshall sketched the scene as he saw it... based on what I've read about the Stork Club it seemed entirely plausible that all those celebs would have been present at the same time. You don't think so...?ReplyDelete
It's entirely plausible, but just as likely that as Ava Gardner was arriving, Welles was getting his coat.
Mostly sketches are an amalgamation of incidents over a period of time. It's what makes sketching so much better than photography for certain circumstances.
A,B,C and D were here doing this during the last 15 minutes, why not put them all together in the same frame?

That`s quite clear I think.North`s sales volumes are not expected to increase.
They just follow world wide tendency to sell even less but to be more profitable.
On the other hand there is oportunity to establish premium segment in kiteboarding which is not well defined yet.
Unfortunately this also may lead to some MSRP increase within smaller comanies at the same time.
I don`t either understand people whining about company/brand pricing levels.Just don`t buy...

It's time to show off your garden filled with American Meadows products!
Show meShowing plants & seeds that grow in my area:
About Daylilies, the most popular perennials: It all started with the original wild orange Daylily. Many Americans think the tough old orange Daylily they see in old gardens and along roadsides is a wildflower, but it really isn't. No Daylily is native to North America; most hail from Asia.
Don't confuse them with the true lilies: Daylilies are not really lilies. In fact, they are quite different. As you know, true lilies grow on tall stems with flowers at the top. Daylily flower stems (called scapes) are generally much shorter, and grow from a fountain of grass-like foliage at ground level. Daylilies are members of the genus, Hemerocallis, not Lilium, which is the genus name of true lilies.
Daylily Roots, not bulbs As all good gardeners know, Daylilies don't grow from bulbs like true lilies. Daylilies form a mass of thickened, fleshy roots. These unique root systems hold so much moisture and nutrients, the plants can survive out of the ground for weeks. This survival system, making them tough, and really easy to handle, is one of the reasons they're so popular today. They're also dependably hardy, so once you have them, you have them for years.
Types of Daylilies for today's gardens: The famous old orange Daylily and the well-known old Lemon Lily are not the only wild Daylilies, just the most famous. There are 20 Daylily species, worldwide. Today from those 20 plants, more than 20,000 hybrids have been created, to satisfy gardeners who love Daylilies, and just cant get enough. Hybridizing Daylilies for various colors and styles is not new. Famous old reliable hybrids like Catherine Woodbury--the lovely lavender and yellow bi-color--have been around for decades.
The re-bloomers for twice the bloom. Today's craze for re-blooming Daylilies all began with Stella D'Oro, the now-famous yellow dwarf Daylily that blooms once during late spring (the regular Daylily blooming season), and then again in late August and into fall. Today, there are hundreds of re-bloomers, from dwarfs to full-size beauties.
The latest and greatest: In any group of highly popular hybrids, there is always something newer and better. Some real break-through successes of new types for their times are Daylilies like Victoria's Secret and Big Smile, with elaborately ruffled petals and clear contrasts of magnificent colors.

Comments about American Meadows Reblooming Daylily Double River Wye:
I ordered this product late in the season, on sale, in preparation for next spring. I was pleased that one of them actually bloomed. However, the bloom was much smaller than I expected. Good quality. We are having a drought, and they have survived the dry and hot weather with minimal care. I have terrible clay soil and the day lily , in general, has been a wonderful way to add summer color!
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

Eddie Alvarez Signs For DREAM's LWGP
(Alvarez vs. Derrick Noble in '06.)
Although Eddie Alvarez signed a multi-fight deal with the EliteXC last month, he has also agreed to fight in DREAM's Lightweight Grand Prix. 5oz. of Pain confirmed the deal this afternoon. The tournament will be in Japan on March 15th. Alvarez will fight Andre "Dida" Amade in the first round.
"The fight is 100 percent," began Alvarez. "I just got a call from my manager, Monte Cox, everything is underway. Everything is approved and I will be heading over there (Japan) on the 10th to fight in the lightweight Grand Prix. I'm excited."
"Monte (Cox) talked it over with EliteXC and EliteXC was happy to work with DREAM," Alvarez responded when asked if special permission was needed to compete in a tournament that could require Alvarez to fight on three separate DREAM shows. "I'm sure they want to do business with them in the future so I'm sure they are more than happy to lend me over and let me do the fight."
Alvarez also said he might be fighting in May for an EliteXC Atlantic City event, but nothing is set in stone. He will certainly be busy getting down to lightweight for the fight and mentioned he is doing three-a-days to make weight. The fighter is 12-1 overall and last fought on January 25th when he defeated Ross Ebanez via TKO in the second round of their battle at The ShoXC Elite Challenger Series. He's an exciting fighter to watch and has only lost to Nick "The Goat" Thompson (April, 2007).
Andre "Dida" Amade is 6-2-1, losing his very first pro fight and his latest – a submission loss to Gesias Calvancante last September at K-1 HERO's – Tournament Final. He has been with K-1 his last four fights. Amade is with Chute Box; Alvarez from Philly's Fight Factory.
Gotta' hand it to the guys at DREAM for putting together a solid card so far. More than I can say for another organization set to debut soon.Read More DIGG THIS

The Ariekei's language, simply called Language, has a phonological and grammatical structure that was easily learned by the first human linguists who studied it (using a science-fictiony methodology called Accelerated Contact Linguistics). But they discovered that in order for the Ariekei to understand an utterance in Language, the utterance must have a single sentient mind behind it.
There's an additional complication: the Ariekei have two vocal tracts, which produce different words simultaneously. So an utterance in Language consists of two voices, both of which must be present. This means that a single human can't speak Language. But two humans speaking simultaneously can't speak Language either, because there is no unified thought behind each word. The only people who can communicate with the Ariekei are the Ambassadors: pairs of identical clones, trained and modified since birth to present a unified mind.
For the Ariekei, Language and thought are the same, and furthermore Language constrains their thought. It's the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to the extreme. This means they can't lie:
For Hosts [Ariekei], speech was thought. It was as nonsensical to them that a speaker could say, could claim, something it knew to be untrue as, to me, that I could believe something I knew to be untrue. Without Language for things that didn't exist, they could hardly think them; they were vaguer by far than dreams. What imaginaries any of them could conjure at ll must be misty and trapped in their heads.
They can make similes, but in order to speak a simile, they must first enact it. The main character takes part in a ritual so that the Ariekei would have the simile like the girl who ate what was given her. They can't make metaphors, since a metaphor is a lie. They can say I am like the girl who ate what was given her but not I am the girl who ate what was given her.
The main character's husband, Scile, is a linguist. He makes this meta-observation:
"Does it every occur to you that this language is impossible, Avice?" he said. "Im, poss, ih, bul. It makes no sense. They don't have polysemy. Words don't signify: they are the referents. How can they be sentient and not have symbolic language? How do their numbers work? It makes no sense.
I agree. I think he means signify in a Saussurian sense: words are signifiers which represent things or concepts, the signified. In Language, words aren't signifiers, they are doors to thought itself.
Scile says about how the Ariekei perceive the Ambassadors:
The Ariekei think they're hearing one mind but they're not… It's like we can only talk to them because of a mutual misunderstanding. What we call their words aren't words: they don't, you know, signify. And what they call our minds aren't minds at all."
But if their words don't signify, what about this:
"They shift tense," he said. "When they mentioned the negotiations they - the Ariekei, I mean - were in present discontinuous, but then they shifted into the elided past-present.
So Language has tense, apparently. But what is the point of tense, if not to signify? Either Language has tense and signifies, or it doesn't signify, therefore it doesn't have tense. But if it doesn't signify, how can humans understand it?
Scile answers this question: we don't understand it.
We can't learn it, Scile said. All we can do's teach ourselves something with the same noises, which works quite differently. We jury-rigged a methodology, as we had to. Our minds aren't like theirs. We had to misunderstand Language to learn it.
So at its heart it's a silly idea (but you could say that about a lot of science fiction). But Miéville makes it real.
People who believe that language constrains thought - for example, that English speakers couldn't conceive of Schadenfreude until we borrowed the word from German, or that Inuit words for snow causes Inuits to perceive the world differently, or that using lifeless, imitative phrases will force you to stop thinking - those people should read this book. This book asks "What would a language that constrained thought really look like?" And the answer is "Completely alien."

NAMM 2010: Behringer VIRTUALIZER 3D FX2000 Effects Processor
Reverbs & Delays
Because it is one of the most desired effects, the Behringer FX2000 provides 12 different reverb programs, so you always have the ideal reverb for your live performance or studio needs.
Reverbs include:
Specialty reverbs include:
• GATED REVERB – reverb is synthetically
turned off after a predetermined
amount of time
• REVERSE REVERB – reverb envelope is
reversed—it slowly gets louder
Delays include:
• STEREO DELAY – delay is processed
across the entire stereo image
• TAPE ECHO – simulates classic tape
echo devices, pre-dating the advent of
digital delays
• PING PONG – delay signal is "bounced"
from left to right at an adjustable tempo
Much More than Just Reverb and Delay
The FX2000 has some of the best-sounding reverb and delay programs, but that's not all. It also provides excellent modulation effects (such as chorus, flanger and phaser), including special variations like musical pitch shifter, tremolo and even a rotary speaker simulation.
Modulation and Pitch Shifter FX:
• STEREO FLANGER (originally generated by
playing back two synchronized "reel to reel" tape
recorders with a finger rubbing on the flange of
one of the take-up reels)
• VINTAGE FLANGER simulates a guitar fl anger
stomp box
• JET STREAM FLANGER sounds like a classic
analog flanger
• STEREO CHORUS (combines a slightly detuned
signal with the original)
• ANALOG CHORUS simulates a guitar chorus
stomp box
• VINTAGE CHORUS imitates a classic analog
studio chorus
• ULTRA CHORUS creates the sound of an eight person
• STEREO PHASER (combines a second, phaseshifted
signal to the original)
• VINTAGE PHASER represents a guitar phaser
stomp box
• DUAL PHASER processes the left and right
channels separately
• ROTARY (simulation of the rotating speakers
typically used on an organ) – Slow or Fast
• PITCH SHIFTER (changes the pitch of the original
signal) – can be used to create harmonies with
the original signal or replace it entirely with the
altered pitch. Choices include stereo, two and
three vocal pitch shifter
• VIBRATO – the peak frequency of the tone is
periodically and uniformly changed
(quickly or slowly)
• TREMOLO (common vintage guitar amplifier
effect) – a fast or slow periodic variation
in volume
• AUTO PANNING – signal is automatically sent
from one side of the stereo image to the other,
either once or multiple times
Dynamic FX:
• COMPRESSOR – reduces the dynamic
range of the signal, maintains
consistent signal level and thus avoids
distortion associated with excessive
input levels
• EXPANDER – effectively broadens the
dynamic range of source signals while
reducing background noise
• GATED REVERB – helps reduce
background clutter by turning reverb
off below a predetermined threshold
level. Particularly effective on drum
mics and vocals
• ANA. KOMPR/LIM. — similar to
COMPRESSOR but with Limiting
• ULTRAMIZER – analyses incoming
signal and automatically applies
compression across two independent
frequency bands
• DENOISER – eliminates or reduces
noise and other interference
• DE-ESSER – reduces or removes
sibilance (Ssss sound) from signal
• WAVE DESIGNER – allows you to
influence the envelope by adjusting
Attack and Release of the signal
Psychoacoustic FX:
• EXCITER – adds artificially generated
overtones to the original signal,
increasing presence and perceived
loudness without significant increase in
signal level
• ENHANCER – functions much like a
dynamic pitch equalizer
• ULTRA BASS – sub-harmonic processor
combined with bass exciter and limiter
• STEREO IMAGER – divides the signal
into middle and side signals, allowing
individual signals to be amplif ed when
desired and placed on the stereo image
• ULTRA WIDE – creates a broader
stereo image
• BINAURALIZER – also creates a broader
stereo image and compensates for
crosstalk between both speakers
Filter/EQ FX:
• AUTO FILTER – influences the frequency
response of a signal. Two filters
are included: low pass allows low
frequencies to pass and suppresses
high frequency content; high pass does
the exact opposite
• LFO FILTER - Controls the rate of
oscillation effects
• PARAMETRIC EQ – allows you to
control the bandwidth, frequency and
amplitude of a signal
• GRAPHIC EQ – the sound spectrum
is divided into eight (8) adjacent
frequency bands, which can be cut or
boosted, bandwidth is predetermined
Distortion FX and Amp Simulations
The FX2000 is also equipped with distortion, amplifier and speaker simulation including VOCAL DISTORTION, TUBE DISTORTION, GUITAR AMP, TRI FUZZ, SPEAKER SIMULATION, RING MODULATOR and LO-FI.
Special FX:
• VINYLIZER – adds clicks and/or noise
to the signal, reminiscent of old vinyl
records and tape machines
• SAMPLER – allows you to record and
playback up to five (5) seconds of
program material
• VOCODER – allows the input signal
to modulate another signal (usually
a synthesizer sound), creating the
familiar "talking synthesizer" effect
• VOICE CANCELER – removes mono
vocal parts from stereo recordings for
"instant Karaoke"
• RESONATOR – simulates and
oscillating system that amplifies a
specific frequency
Our FX Combinations Go to 11
Sometimes you want to add a little (or a lot) of color to your reverb and delay patches. The FX2000 allows you to layer modulation effects like chorus, flanger, pitch or tremolo with your reverb or delay selections.
FX Combinations include:
• Chorus & Reverb
• Flanger & Reverb
• Leslie & Reverb
• Pitch & Reverb
• Delay & Reverb
• Tremolo & Reverb
• Phaser & Reverb
• Chorus & Delay
• Flanger & Delay
• Pitch & Delay
• Tremolo & Delay
Enhanced User EditabilityLogical grouping of parameters, along with the combination of encoders, buttons, LEDs and an easily readable LED display, make operating the FX2000 a breeze. You are free to edit up to seven parameters per preset, and then save them for future use in the 100 provided memory locations.
With its extremely powerful processing capability and versatile array of features, the FX2000 will become the busiest tool in your audio arsenal.

IT Management Slideshow: 10 Tools To Keep Employees Productive On the Road
By Don Reisinger | Posted 08-03-2011
10 Tools To Keep Employees Productive On the Road
A BlackBerry. Really.One of the best ways enhance employee productivity on the road is to equip them with a smartphone that is designed for their jobs. And for now, that still means getting them a BlackBerry. RIM's smartphones may lack the flair of the iPhone or Android-based devices, but they're far more functional for basic tasks such as keeping up with Email (and not getting distracted by Angry Birds.)
As the global workforce becomes ever more mobile, your job as a CIO is to ensure that employees on the road are just as productive as they would be in the office. To make things easier, a host of solutions living in the cloud are designed to help you achieve that goal. And, thanks to a wealth of wireless device options, folks can be working no matter where they are. But, as you know all too well, when people are out of the office, they tend to be far less productive than they are in the office. For some employees, not having a boss hanging over their shoulder to find out what they're doing provides them with the license to do what they want, when they want. That's where you come in. Rather than allowing those road warriors to run amok, you can provide the right solutions and enforce the proper policies to ensure your employees are working when they should, and not engaging in other activities. Here's a guide to help keep your mobile employees productive while they're on the road.

This is a story about sex, supply and demand, global trade, corruption, government regulation and one of the ugliest sea creatures in Florida.
Among the marine animals that live in the Florida Keys is the sea cucumber. It is animal, not vegetable — a long and lumpy invertebrate that looks like a cross between a diseased zucchini and an overinflated eclair.
For decades, divers who strapped on scuba gear to collect saltwater fish for aquariums have also scooped up the occasional sea cucumber. In 2012, they collected about 14,000 of them in the Keys, according to Melissa Recks of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Nobody got rich off of them — they were going for about $1 each.
Then, last year, Florida's sea cucumber catch more than tripled, hitting 54,000, Recks said.
The reason for that astonishing jump lies in the Asian market, where they are eaten, not displayed in aquariums. In China in particular, the sea cucumber is used to treat joint pain — and, more importantly, as an aphrodisiac.
As a result, demand is heavy there for sea cucumbers, also known as "trepang" and "bêche–de–mer" and "the vacuum cleaners of the sea." The demand is so heavy that worldwide 20 percent of sea cucumber fisheries have been fully depleted.
That's bad news. Despite their alleged ability to boost human sexual performance, sea cucumbers suffer from a major disadvantage in their own reproduction because they are "broadcast spawners," Recks said.
That means they eject their sperm and eggs out into the water in the expectation that enough other sea cucumbers are close by doing the same thing so that they will mix. If there aren't, no spawning occurs. If too many sea cucumbers are harvested, they may never bounce back.
So many sea cucumbers were harvested in Costa Rica, Ecuador, India and eight other countries that the population collapsed, prompting those countries to ban further harvesting, Recks said. Even in areas that are supposed to be protected, such as the Great Barrier Reef and Galapagos Islands National Park, so many sea cucumbers were snatched up that their population crashed.
Except for requiring a license to collect live sea creatures, Florida does not regulate sea cucumber collectors. Fearing disaster will occur in the Keys as it has elsewhere, the group that represents people collecting sea creatures there, the Florida Marine Life Association, asked state wildlife officials to create new regulations to protect sea cucumbers — a rare move.
Because the association requested a limit of 200 sea cucumbers per person per trip, that's the limit Recks recommended to wildlife commissioners.
"We're taking the advice of the industry here because we don't have anything better," she said during a meeting in Tampa this month.
To Eric Lee, a limit that small would be a disaster: "I would definitely be out of business."
Lee spent nine years working in the oil and coal industries in China, leaving because the pollution got too bad. He now runs Florida's only sea cucumber processing plant on Ramrod Key.
Lee said he spent a year and a half getting the plant started, including obtaining permits from the state and federal governments, with an eye toward selling Florida sea cucumbers to the Asian market.
At first, all went well. In communist China, sea cucumber is often handed out in expensive gift boxes to family, friends or — nudge nudge, wink wink — to government officials who might be inclined to do favors. That was a major part of Lee's expected market.
But then the Chinese government cracked down on government corruption "and now government officials are terrified to take gifts," Lee said.
Thus Lee is now concentrating on the retail market, he said. But to make it work he needs the wildlife commission to set a higher limit — say 500 to 800 sea cucumbers per person per trip.
For the wildlife commission meeting, Lee brought along a bag of dried sea cucumbers and handed them around to the commissioners.
"I guess the question is whether the commissioners should view them or eat them," quipped commission chairman Richard Corbett, a Tampa mall developer.
The commissioners initially voted to limit the take to 200, but then reconsidered and said they would give their staff time to work out a compromise prior to their next meeting, which is in April in Tallahassee.
Until then, it's still open season on sea cucumbers in the Keys — although it seems unlikely they will show up on any Florida seafood menus. One diner quoted by the Independent, a British newspaper, described their taste as "slightly lower than phlegm, the texture of which it closely resembles."

Pennant Pantry Makeover
It's amazing what a difference a makeover to something as utilitarian as a pantry can make. If you were thinking of tackling this project, here's some inspiration that might even get you excited about it.
Jennifer of Tatertots and Jello went all out on this pantry makeover. Instead of just treating it as a closet that no one would see, she treated it like a small room, creating cute little spaces and adding the sweetest pennant banners...in her pantry!
She painted gift tags from IKEA with chalkboard paint for labels and painted the entire closet a beautiful blue-green with some leftover paint. Felt placemats from Target topped off the shelves.
If you were dreading organizing your pantry, hopefully this will give you some motivation. Think about how fun it would be to open up this pantry every day. Check out all the lovely details at Tatertots and Jello.

Post cover artists over the years have provided us with a visual "how-to" guide on hiding gifts. Or perhaps, how not to. Just remember, when you bring presents home to hide: Spies are everywhere!
Rule No. 1 in hiding Christmas gifts: Before you stash goodies away in the closet, do a reconnaissance of said closet for undercover agents. The clues in artist George Hughes' December 1960 show you what to look for: small bare feet under the coats and a little face, eagerly peering out.
Less subtle than the other pint-sized secret agents are the kids in artist Richard Sargent's 1957 cover. Hey! There's a crane sticking out from that bag—the rest of it has got to be cool. The boys might want to make haste before Mom discovers their spying mission.
Now this is a covert agent. The tiny girl in pink pj's is peeking between the cracks of a double door. We're not sure how much confidential info she is gathering from her stake-out, but maybe she can spot a dolly from there.
Even Fido snoops, and he isn't happy with what he sees. In a December 1942 cover, the doggy basket appears to contain flea powder, soap, and grooming stuff … Not a rawhide bone or rubber ball in sight. Or, maybe the good stuff is better hidden. Aw, let's hope so for the puppy's sake.
Shame on her! The woman in Constantin Alajalov's December 1949 cover is sneaking up in the middle of the night to shake a package she isn't supposed to know about. Well, it's too small to be a toaster, so maybe it's jewelry! It may be "for your eyes only," but not until Christmas morning, lady.

Whether you're on the job or having fun, there are dozens of ways to make your life easier with a trailer. But what happens when you don't have the space for one? Sure, you could park it outside, but just think of how much static you'll catch from your spouse or neighbor for plunking it in their favorite parking spot or cluttering their view.
That's where a folding trailer comes in handy. When it comes to versatility, flexibility and maximum convenience, folding trailers have conventional ones beat hands down. Why bother renting a trailer when folding trailers for sale are available? Renting works for those who need a trailer once in a blue moon, but a lot of people soon discover after renting one how useful they can be.
Consider another situation: If you have a car or SUV, some stuff is just impossible to stash inside. In this case a trailer is a must. Even those with a large pickup bed will still at times find the need for a trailer. Unfortunately, a full-size conventional trailer takes up too much space in many driveways or garages.
This is where the Haul-Master 1195 Lb. Capacity 48″ x 96″ Heavy-Duty Foldable Utility Trailer with 12″ Wheels (SKU: 90154) is the king of Heavy-Duty Foldable Utility Trailers. It only takes up 24″ x 63″ of floor space when folded, so it can be stored practically anywhere. But when this trailer is unfolded, it can handle heavy loads up to a whoppin' 1195 pounds! Add plywood decking (not included) to make yourself a 48″ x 96″ flatbed. The bed even tilts all the way to the ground for easy loading. Without a doubt, this heavy-duty folding trailer is a jack-of-all trades.
With the Haul Master foldable trailer, you can haul tools, toys and practically anything else a standard trailer can haul without tying up all the storage space. (Just keep an eye on weight and load distribution.)
Other noteworthy specs are as follows:
- 1-7/8″ ball hitch receiver for secure transportation when properly loaded and hitched to a capable vehicle (ball hitch and hitch coupler not included)
- DOT-certified tail lights and side running lights
- Safety wiring harness
- 3-leaf spring suspension
- 4.8″ wide, 12″ diameter tires
- Axle thickness: 5mm
- Overall dimensions: 110″ L x 61-1/2″ W x 19-1/4″ H

CINCINNATI — Tom Coughlin had surveyed all the stats and then the weather, deciding that if the Giants won the opening toss, they would defer and elect to kick off to the Bengals to start the game. His decision seemed logical, but it would have devastating results, providing the impetus for one of the worst performances by a football team under his watch.
"I really wanted the ball in the second half," Coughlin said after the Bengals crushed the Giants 31-13 yesterday at Paul Brown Stadium. "There's quite a differential between the number of points we had scored in the second half (128) and the number of points they had scored in the second half (84). I also wanted the wind."
By the time the second half began — with the Giants going three-and-out — the game was essentially over. The Bengals held a 17-6 lead and more confidence and momentum than a team that had lost four straight games could have ever imagined.
This debacle started with the opening drive, when the Bengals needed just five plays to cover 79 yards for a 7-0 lead. The touchdown came on a 56-yard pass from quarterback Andy Dalton to wide receiver A.J. Green, who inexplicably was turned loose by a Giants secondary that looked in preseason form. Cornerback Corey Webster, the nearest Giant, called it a "busted coverage." Safety Stevie Brown went toward the line of scrimmage as Green ran past Webster.
"You can't do that," Webster said. "When you're playing a good team with a good receiver you don't want to give them anything. We want them to earn it."
Defensive end Justin Tuck called the play "a big tone-setter," while linebacker Chase Blackburn added, "It got them off to a good start, which is where we didn't want them to be."
It was just the beginning of a putrid performance by the NFC East leaders, who head into their bye week 6-4 with two straight losses. There was plenty of blame to go around. The defense gave up the early big play and three other TD passes by Dalton. The Giants offense committed four turnovers, including two terrible interceptions by Eli Manning, and the punt coverage team allowed a 68-yard return by Adam Jones.
The Giants were stunned by their ineptitude. Tuck said he was "shocked," while safety Antrel Rolle said the Giants "didn't come out to play ball for whatever reason."
The Bengals' four-game losing streak, the looming bye week, a comfortable 2 1/2-game lead in the NFC East, may have given the Giants a false sense of security.
"For whatever reason our head wasn't in it, as a team. You can't put a performance like that on film," Rolle said. "We're not playing disciplined. We're not being disciplined in our approach."
Losing to the Bengals (4-5) will leave "a bad taste in your mouth," Rolle said. Webster referred to it as "stink" that will linger throughout the bye week.
The Giants never seem to do things the easy way. A year ago they were 6-2 and dropped to 7-7, but went on to win the Super Bowl. A repeat of that mid-season swoon would seem unfathomable. As the Giants boarded their flight home last night, Tuck tweeted "Keep your head up True @Giants fans. We will right this ship."
Perhaps. But there was nothing about their performance yesterday that made you think the final six games of the season are gimmies.
They have two weeks to prepare for the Packers at MetLife Stadium. That's two weeks of smelling stink.
"We still believe in each other," Tuck said. "We believe in this team and this coaching staff. We've got a history of going into lulls and coming back out of them. That's what we're leaning on right now. Hopefully, we'll come out of that lull very quickly."
You figured the Giants could rely on more than hope by now.

The Z-Health 3-Day Elite Performance World Tour
(Around the nervous system in 3 days—while sailing past limits for any sport)
What keeps your clients from becoming the elite athletes you know they could be?
(And how can you get them running faster, lifting heavier, jumping higher, & moving better than 99% of their opponents?)
It's got less to do with natural athleticism, sports-specific drills, cardio, weight training exercises, and jedi mindset tricks than most people think.
If you want to create the kinds of performance improvements clients will pay premium fees to achieve, you need to learn a highly specialized language.
Most of us are attempting the equivalent of running for President of France—without ever having learned French.
To become elite athletes, we need to learn to speak the language of the nervous system, which governs athletic performance.
By using specific movements to communicate with the nervous system, you can overrule your body's limits without causing injury.
Let us show you how.
Take the Z-Health 3-Day Elite Performance World Tour.
3 days. Irreversible performance improvements. A crazy-profitable business.
The 3-Day Elite Performance World Tour is a high-intensity workshop for the organ in your body that requires more energy than any muscle. That would be your brain.
Although your other muscles will be enlisted for some focused, concentrated exercises, it's your brain that will receive the most intense workout.
Your old assumptions will be tossed on their heads (gently). You'll acquire a new lens to see the world and your work and your clients. Mind-blowing would not be overstating it.
What you'll acquire in this weekend world tour:
- Lifting heavy? Big mistake. Learn why—and what you should focus on instead.
- Simple reflex hacks you can do at home to improve your reaction time on the field—or the courts, or the range, or wherever. They don't look like much, but you can't argue with the results.
- Special "elite athleticism" goggles to help you see and improve athletic performance in 9 categories—so no matter whom you work with or where they're at, you can find where their next breakthrough is hiding.
- A fun concept called neuroplasticity—and how knowing it will basically change the way you train for life.
- The names and exact locations of nerve endings that, when you know them, not only make you look really smart, but also help you win.
- Is it possible to speed up your reflexes by focusing on your eyeballs? Yes, if you know how to do this assessment.
- How to get your clients to go clutch on Monday morning. The best athletes perform even better under pressure than they do during training. You'll learn 5 training templates you can bring to work on Monday, so no matter the sport, your clients can become clutch players.
- How you can be the laziest record-breaking athlete you know, while training "smaller"—and what matters more than how many push-ups you do or how many miles you can run.
- How to slightly embarrass yourself at the gym before breaking your next personal record—and ultimately vindicating yourself amongst the "heavy-lifting" crowd.
- Dozens of ridiculously tiny movements you can use to trigger giant leaps in performance.
- The best time to care about injury rehabilitation—and why (HINT: it's not after someone gets injured).
- How so-called "good posture" could be hurting your clients' performance unless you're doing this assessment.
- The 4 training speeds. (HINT: Fast-fast-fast-go-go-go is not the default.) Be the only coach you know whose athletes train super slow with you—and go on to lap everyone else.
- 7 uncommonly simple balance training drills for every environment.
- The 6 fundamentals of movement fluency.
- How to detect a joint jam even if clients can't feel it—and how to unjam the joint with this drill.
- Why vision is more than 20/20, and how to improve it so breakthroughs follow.
- Why wobbling is a woefully wonky way to improve your balance—and why Swiss balls, Bosu balls, and Wobble boards fail to comply with a well-known principle of your nervous system.
- How to screen any client for sensory mismatch—and why it's one of the most important skills you can acquire as an elite coach.
- Need CEUs? We offer CEUs with 8 certifying bodies. See the right sidebar for details.
4 reasons why those who take this workshop once return to take it again and again—for free:
This is deep, specific, useful content you've never heard before and can't really find anywhere else.*
* You'd need to spend several years reviewing all the scientific research, reverse-engineering the habits of top-performing athletes, and compiling everything you knew into a system that could make breakthroughs happen for any level of athlete for any sport. Z-Health is a more direct route to the same outcome.
- Incorporating these tools is a perfectly legitimate reason to double or triple your fees — and your client roster. This information isn't just good to know because you're curious. Of course, it's good to be curious. But this information will transform your clients, turning them into your own private sales force. Their training buddies aren't going to let them keep a secret this big for long.
- You get as much personal attention as you need. We keep classes limited to no more than 30 attendees. No question left behind.
- If you do nothing else, rock your clients' world with just with this workshop.
Why this workshop isn't going to be another one of those things you tried that one time.
You know those workshops that sound exciting on paper, but turn out to be another supplements / equipment / program / coaching pitchfest, after which you can't walk for a week?
Not only is this not that workshop (we stand behind our content with a 110% guarantee), but you won't find those people here.
We're proud of the culture we've created. It's a culture of curious, adventurous trainers and athletes who really care about watching their clients astonish themselves. Our community of trainers and athletes become friends who lend each other professional support in person and in our forums. They're the reason we literally run to pick up every phone call. We can't help ourselves.
If you're like 99% of people who take this course, you're already feeling excited and thinking, Wow, what if this works? This might just work!
Enthusiasm is good. There's no need to decide now on whether to get certified in Z-Health. Just say yes to the workshop. It's guaranteed!
This-Will-Change-Your-Practice-and-Make-You-Question-Everything-You-Thought-You-Knew-But-In-a-Good-Way-110% Guarantee.
We believe curiosity should always be rewarded. So we'll give you your money back, plus 10% if everything you thought you knew about performance and limits isn't turned upside down. It will be.
More than 300 people have taken this workshop since it began in 2008. No one has ever received a refund — because no one has ever requested one.
The world tour is coming to town. Maybe yours?
