Wallhard, first of all, provide a website name so we will be able to check. Second of all, which email service do you use? If the email indicated in the E-mail form settings is e.g. Yahoo, we suggest you change it. Some email services don't deliver uCoz letters. You can go to Control panel->E-mail Forms->Mail forms management->Change to change it.

Natashko, "Control panel->E-mail Forms->Mail forms management->Change"
There i can change the email adress which will receive the message from that form only, no other setting there. Im receiving messages from that form to my mail, it's ok with that. But i want my mail client (gmail or my local domain and mail provider, was trying both, don't working) autoresponder start sending automated messages to peoples that are filling that forms. Somethings is wrong with ucoz email form, not with my email (because when i send mail to my adress i'm getting that automated response, when i send message using ucon emailform im not receiving anything).
Message # 7 | 3:31 PM 2011-04-07
Is that possible to have email with my domain name in ucoz? like email@example.com

One more, how to add "class" when user see other user profile
What do you mean by that? You may allow different groups to View users' personal pages (profiles) in CP->Users->User groups » Set permissions for all groups

I am looking for a text editor with the following functionalities for php, html and css coding:
- code folding
- based on indentation (best example is EditPlus)
- start at an indentation level and stop at the next indentation of same level or level up
- line/block duplication
- brace highlight
- syntax highlight
- selection highlight (occurrences)
- toggle comment line/block
- good file browser (several directories opened)
- code snippets
Those are the basic I am looking for. I tried several editors and found them all wanting at some point.
- Gedit with plugins
- Geany with plugins
- Juffed
- jEdit
- scite
- ultraedit ...
The only one really close to have it all is Netbeans except for the code folding based on indentation.
I read that
vim is highly configurable but I'm a bit afraid of the learning curve.
If anyone know of my dream editor, please inform me.

Discovery boost led by international
May 6, 2014
Discovery Communications has reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31st 2014.
David Zaslav, Discovery's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Discovery's strong organic growth continued during the first quarter as our unparalleled global reach and sustained investment in diverse and engaging content allowed us to capitalise on the growing demand for pay-tv programming worldwide. The larger audiences and consistent market share gains we are delivering are driving sustained financial results, even as we further invest in our platforms and integrate strategic acquisitions that will enhance our long-term growth prospects. As we look to the remainder of 2014, leveraging the significant opportunities across our existing asset portfolio remains our priority so we can maintain our financial momentum while further building long-term shareholder value."
First quarter revenues of $1.411 billion increased $255 million, or 22 per cent, over the first quarter a year ago, led by 51 per cent growth at International Networks and 3 per cent growth at US Networks. Adjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortisation (OIBDA) increased 5 per cent to $525 million, as International Networks were up 18 per cent and US Networks were up 2 per cent. Excluding the impact of the SBS Nordic acquisition, foreign currency fluctuations and digital licensing agreements, total Company revenues increased 8 per cent and Adjusted OIBDA increased 6 per cent.

The hints how to copy and rename curves helped me a lot. Unfortunately the app is often not self-explanatory. Many thanks for your work.
Comment from: Niravana Visitor
A big THANK YOU for your article! This is what the user manual should have been! I followed it all the way through and successfully made the measurements, edit the curves, and uploaded to the receiver (Marantz AVR7012) , all in the First Try! However, the second try did not go so well. The app kept losing the receiver and I had to start over several times…… That's probably is one of the reasons for low ratings. I finally noted your suggestion and use the IP address to "help" the app find the receiver. All my equipments are on a wired network, and the tablet was less than 5 feet away from the router. Never had any connection problem on wi-fi . Yes, the app is great , if it's consistent. My cons are:
- Occasional loss of contact with receiver… "may" be handled by giving it the IP address to search on retry.
- Slow. It took me about an hour to upload the data to the receiver (AVR 7013 and Galaxy TAB-A). Many times I thought it was hung, but just waited it out.
Many thanks again for a very helpful article.

Caltech grad student held in Hummer torchings
FBI agents arrested a 23-year-old Caltech graduate student Tuesday and charged him in connection with a brazen string of environmentally motivated attacks last summer that caused more than $3.5 million in damage to four auto dealerships in the San Gabriel Valley.
Maybe now the FBI will return Josh Connole's property they seized when they erroneously thought he was involved.
The suspect apparently used Cal-Tech computers to send emails to a LA Times reporter claiming he did it, and Josh didn't, earning him The PoliZeros Big Duh Award for cluelessness.
Six Caltech computers in two libraries had been used to send e-mail to The Times, investigators learned. Cottrell's personal library access card was used to enter the libraries within eight minutes of when the messages were sent to the newspaper, records showed.
Records also showed that on 11 occasions, someone using Cottrell's student account was logged on to a Caltech computer about the same time it was used to access the e-mail account that appeared on the messages to The Times.
He probably thought he was being clever by using library computers. He wasn't. Folks, email is easy to track.

When it comes to Christmas presents I always have a bit of a dilemma with myself. The children compile lists of plastic toys that I know will be discarded before Boxing Day, and every part of me wants to fulfil their wishes…however the sensible side of me thinks all that money would be better spent on experiences that will last a lifetime rather than faddy toys that will last for minutes.
If we look back over our year then one of the experiences that sticks in all our minds the most is certainly Camp Bestival – the family festival that has to be seen to be believed.
This year sees fantastic musical acts taking to the stage such as Rick Astley, Clean Bandit an Simple Minds. Regulars to the festival are Mr Tumble and Dick and Dom will be returning to amuse the children…well and the adults too!
One of the shows that my little ones are most excited to see though is Dinosaur World Live that looks absolutely outstanding.
This really is the kind of gift that I would love to find nestled under the tree on Christmas Day and if it sounds like something your family would love to receive to then there is a great promotion running until 11th December.
If you book your tickets before this time you will receive a whole host of fantastic stocking fillers such as nautical tattoos to go with this years 'Sets Sail' theme, character stickers, a hand illustrated Christmas card and a limited edition sew on patch.
If you would like to spread the cost then you can still sign up to the 30 week payment plan and still receive all your goodies!
Take a little look at just a few of the reasons we love Camp Bestival so much:
Scree Free, Quality Time: This for me has to come top of my list as it is something that is so lacking when we are at home. Its a chance to put away those phones, leave the iPads alone and just enjoy spending time together talking, laughing, playing and having fun.
My lot spend a huge time arguing and fighting when we are at home, and don't get me wrong it is never an argument free trip but we are certainly more drawn together as a family and that bond gets a little tighter.
Good Food: As a family we are often drawn to places with our bellies and I can assure you if you are a foodie like me then Camp Bestival won't fail to stimulate your taste buds.
From ice cream covered waffles to juicy burgers, scucculent corn on the cob to crispy chips every palate will be catered for and every belly filled.
Th little ones can also get more hands on and prepare their own food which was a big hit for mine last year.
Enjoy The Great Outdoors: The whole trip involves being outside which can seem a little daunting but there is actually nothing better.
From enjoying the hustle and bustle of the main festival to simply chilling out round the tent or hiding away in our favourite place – The Dingly Dell there is a whole host of ways to enjoy the great outdoors.
Late Nights: As a Mum of five bedtimes are pretty strict in this house for the sake of everyones sanity to be honest. Camp Bestival allows us to kick these rules aside and just let them all stay up until they drop. They love being up until way after dark, huddled up in their trailer listening to music and watching Mum and Dad's silly dancing.
The last night has to be the favourite though with is spectacular firework display that is simply not to be missed.
Learning New Skills And Using Their Imaginations: Camp Bestival isn't just about the music and acts on stage, it holds so much more and really allows the children how to build skills by trying things they may not have come across before such a circus skills, woodwork and cooking and bundles of activities that allow them to use their imagination and just LET KIDS BE KIDS!
I hope this has given you a little snippet of just some of the fun Camp Bestival can bring and has you wanting to experience it for yourselves next year!

I mentioned a while back that I couldn't show some of the items I'd made recently because they were presents. Well, I can show you some of them now:
Dad's socks. He really loves receiving hand knit socks. I used Moda Vera yarn, reinforced with nylon thread at the toes and heels, using my usual toe-up short-row heel pattern.
Mum requested some hats. (Actually, she hinted at first, but at first I was oblivious to this, then I ignored the hints since she knows she only has to ask me and I'd happily make her hats.) Knowing that she is a 'hot' person, who gets too warm very easily, I dug out some navy cotton ribbon yarn I'd salvaged from a frogged project and used it to work out the sizing to this crocheted hat.
Then, since she has decided recently that she wants to collect owls, I hunted down a hat pattern (sorry, could only find a Ravelry link). I made a lot of adjustments since she was very specific about the size of the brim, I added beads for eyes as I knit the owls, and decreased every second row on the crown to eliminate the bulky gathers.
I used sock yarn, since fingering weight was specified in the pattern. It made for a very loosely knit fabric, which is fine for Mum as it should be cooler.
She was thrilled with both, but refused to model them for me, instead getting out this polystyrene head and a wig for me to pose them on.

Over the years, we have integrated bluetooth hands free, music streaming, parking camera systems and more recently Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to pretty much every Aston Martin model to come out of the Gaydon factory. However, the ones that had defeated us have been the AMI II systems fitted to Generation 2 Vanquish 2013-17 and Vantage and DB9 models from 16 and 17MY. That is until today.
The infotainment system used in those cars was built by a brilliant British firm called Skyships, who have also built bespoke systems for Pagani amongst others. Although it still uses the Garmin based navigation system, that we have already had success with integrating stuff, it has proved quite a challenge to break into this one, so to speak, and add extra video inputs for front camera and/or CarPlay. We still have some development to do and I will update this post in due course. But, we are quite chuffed we have at last been able to cover these last pieces of the jigsaw.
Please get in touch with us to register interest and we will keep you in the loop and get you and your car booked in as soon as we can.

Kennebunk Coach Sean Smith has spent the season raising expectations for his young boys' hockey team.
As the season dawned, he was hoping for a fourth or fifth seed in the Western Class B playoffs. But after Kennebunk posted a record of 7-3-1 before Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Cape Elizabeth, Smith decided to aim higher.
"Our team goal has changed – we want to win the West, get the one or two seed so we don't have to go anywhere in the playoffs," Smith said.
"I think it's attainable. We do have the players and the ability to make it happen. They have to show up and compete every night. They have to harness in those games where we play well and find out how to perform like that every single night. That's been our biggest problem – consistency."
The Rams are fifth in the Heal point standings, but have a big game Saturday at Gorham. They opened eyes with wins over Greely and Cape Elizabeth, and have played close games with Class A Biddeford.
But there have been rough lessons along the way.
"We got put in our place, too," Smith said. "We had a big win against York, 9-1, and then a week later falling to them, 3-2. They showed up at that game looking past York. They were looking at 8-2-1 instead and they were focused on that before they even played that game. It was a good learning experience for them and it's going to make us better in the long run."
The Rams have a large contingent of sophomores led by seniors such as Bryce Fraser. Smith praised his team's unselfish nature and said junior goaltender Michael LeBlanc has been vital to its success.
"He's been such a backbone to this team. Every night he's made big stops in big situations," Smith said. "He's the reason for our success. He's our most improved player from last season."
BANGOR IS in the thick of the Eastern Class A race, sitting at 7-1. But the next couple of weeks will be spent sizing itself up against West competition, with games against Falmouth, Scarborough and Thornton Academy.
Coach Quinn Paradis said his team's strong start is a testament to experience – 16 juniors and seniors dot the roster – along with strong defense and balanced scoring. The Rams rely on no offensive superstar but all three lines are contributing. And senior goaltender Rye Powell, with four senior defensemen in front of him, has been stellar.
"We've got a blue-collar offense that grinds it out in the corners and plays tough hockey," Paradis said. "We're well-disciplined. We've done a good job of staying out of the penalty box. And it's a really strong older class of defensemen. They've been there a while and know the expectations, and how to win."
Bangor has defeated top rivals Lewiston and St. Dominic already. The rematches are the final two games of the regular season.
"We've got to like that," Paradis said. "You know where you stand going into the playoffs."
FALMOUTH WILL GET a look at Bangor twice in the next week.
And, frankly, the defending Class A champion is thrilled to be playing anybody after a long layoff that has seen its record stuck at 6-4 for what seems like forever.
The reason has been three snowouts, including both Bangor meetings, midterm examinations and a weekend tournament in Boston.
But that tournament was beneficial for the Yachtsmen, Coach Deron Barton said, despite a pair of close losses against Massachusetts behemoths Barnstable and Weymouth.
"We learned that we can play a high-tempo, physical hockey game and stay out of the penalty box," Barton said after his team drew four penalties in the two games. "Some of our underclassmen stepped up and made plays they hadn't made all season.
"You've got forwards who were not taking the body and separating the man from the puck because they were intimidated. They're consistently doing that now. They're winning the 50/50 battles. Instead of just shooting the puck on net, they're shooting to score, shooting for corners and going for the rebounds. They're shaking that stigma of being a rookie. They realize they can have an impact on the game."
Falmouth has six games in its next 11 days, starting with a trip Wednesday to St. Dom's.
The time off has allowed his team to get healthy, Barton said.
Now the Yachtsmen are prepared for the push to the end of the season, and a chance to defend their title.
"We'll be ready to play every shift," Barton said, "and then the hockey gods will take it from there."
IN GIRLS' HOCKEY, the playoff field is almost set, with five teams in the East (Leavitt/Edward Little, Lewiston, Greely, Yarmouth/Freeport and Mt. Ararat) and six in the West (Scarborough, Freeport, Cape Elizabeth/Waynflete, Biddeford, York and Cheverus).
Cheverus can guarantee itself a playoff bid with a win at 5:30 p.m. Thursday against Gorham/Bonny Eagle at the Portland Ice Arena.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — The Samoas' world-leading rate of obesity is a recent phenomenon, heavily influenced by the globe's rapid shift to calorie-rich, processed foods and more sedentary lifestyles.
A new study, however, suggests nearly half of Samoans have a newly identified and significant genetic variant that contributes to obesity risk; a variant that had remained undiscovered until researchers focused on the islands' populations. In cell models in the lab, this "thrifty" variant promoted more efficient storage of more fat.
"A previously unknown genetic variant in an understudied gene is strongly associated with body-mass index (BMI) levels and other adiposity measures in Samoan men and women we studied in 2010," said Stephen McGarvey, corresponding author of the paper in Nature Genetics and professor in the Brown University School of Public Health. While the variant helps to explain why 80 percent of Samoan men and 91 percent of Samoan women were overweight or obese in 2010, he said, it is by no means a dominant factor.
"Although we have found a genetic variant with a reasonable biological mechanism, this genetic variant is just one part of the many reasons for the high levels of BMI and obesity among Samoans," he said.
McGarvey with a team of colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Cincinnati and Yale University, as well as Samoan government officials, conducted the study. The team pinpointed a single genetic variant on chromosome 5 that, according to the researchers' estimate, is associated with about 35 percent higher odds of being obese compared to not having the gene variant.
While this elevated risk is much greater than any other known common BMI risk variant, overall it explains only about 2 percent of the variation in BMI among Samoans. Other factors such as diet, physical activity and early life nutrition and growth are important, and their influences on obesity in the context of this gene variant will be investigated in future studies, McGarvey said.
In several independent samples of people from the islands, totaling more than 5,000 individuals studied since the 1990s, 7 percent of volunteers had two copies of the mutation and another 38 percent had one copy. The other 55 percent of Samoans in the study did not have the variant.
Those with it were more likely to have a higher BMI than those who didn't have it. At the same time, those with the variant were less likely to have developed Type 2 diabetes. Nevertheless, Samoans also have among the world's highest rates of that condition.
Meanwhile, the variant is virtually nonexistent in African and European populations, McGarvey said, and is present at only very low frequency among East Asians.
Vetting a variant
Body measurements, cardiovascular and metabolic health indicators from blood samples were collected from participants living in 33 villages throughout Samoa in 2010 by a field team led by Nicola Hawley, formerly of Brown and now an assistant professor at Yale University. Blood samples were processed in makeshift laboratories in villages and shipped to the University of Cincinnati where DNA was extracted. There, the DNA specimens were tested (also known as genotyped) for almost 1 million gene variants across the entire genome of each person for over 3,000 Samoan adults. Ranjan Deka, a long-time collaborator with McGarvey in genetic epidemiology studies in Samoans, and his colleague, Guangyun Sun, led the work.
Statistical geneticists Ryan Minster and Daniel Weeks at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health performed analyses using the genotype information to look for signals across the whole genome that genetic variants might be associated with BMI. They found that one region of chromosome 5 was strongly associated. The team drilled down in that region using more precise DNA sequencing, imputation (genotype prediction), and follow-up genotyping methods in the 2010 sample and replication samples from McGarvey's earlier Samoan studies. They pinpointed a "missense" mutation called "rs373863828" in the CREBRF gene as the variant associated with higher BMI. The effect of the mutation, the team found, was that it causes the gene's code to specify the amino acid glutamine in a protein when the unmutated gene would normally specify arginine.
But the team needed to identify the biological mechanisms that might be responsible for this genetic association with BMI.
They turned to University of Pittsburgh molecular geneticist Zsolt Urban and endocrinologist Erin Kershaw, who used a laboratory model of mouse fat cells to determine what happens when the novel missense mutation was introduced into the fat cells. Along with Chi-Ting Su, they found that the fat cells exposed to the missense mutation stored more fats and did so more efficiently, using less energy. Moreover, the variant protected the cells against death induced by starvation just as well as the common version of the gene did.
An evolutionary hypothesis
The findings hint at an evolutionary story, McGarvey said, for which much more archaeological, anthropological and biological proof is needed. But the hypothesis goes like this:
The earliest Samoans may have faced considerable food insecurity when sailing to and settling the South Pacific islands. Those who had this gene variant might have been more efficiently able to extract and store energy from the available food. This may have led to natural selection favoring those who carried this "thrifty" gene variant, McGarvey said, and could account for the notable frequency of the variant in contemporary Samoans.
Once modern conveniences like motor vehicles and high-calorie foods became prevalent among Samoans, they, like many people around the world, became more prone to obesity. The rare genetic variant that long had helped them endure food scarcity, the hypothesis goes, now may somewhat exacerbate BMI in a very different lifestyle context.
"Samoans weren't obese 200 years ago," he noted. "The gene hasn't changed that rapidly — it's the nutritional environment that changed that rapidly."
One of the findings, led by Weeks of the University of Pittsburgh, is that the pattern of genetic variant in the chromosomal region encompassing the discovered gene variant is consistent with it having been evolutionarily selected for among ancient Samoans.
Regardless of how it came to be, McGarvey cautioned strongly against taking the variant's discovery to mean that obesity is somehow inevitable for Samoans. At most it may account for a somewhat elevated risk when many other factors such as diet and physical activity come into play.
"Don't take this as 'You are Samoan, you are fated to be obese,'" McGarvey said. "We don't think that's true. We don't have any evidence that that's the case. A healthy diet and physical activity are still key to maintaining a healthy weight."
The paper's other authors are Hong Cheng of the University of Cincinnati, Olive D. Buhule and Jerome Li of the University of Pittsburgh and several Samoan scientists and physicians including: Muagututi'a Sefuiva Reupena, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, Government of Samoa; Satupa'itea Viali, a medical specialist in Apia, Samoa; John Tuitele, a public health physician in the American Samoa Department of Health; and Take Naseri, a physician and director of the Ministry of Health, Government of Samoa, in Apia, Samoa.
The National Institutes of Health and Brown University funded the study.

Ashtatara's Summer Solstice Message
(This was originally channeled by Jonette on the summer solstice from The Atlantean goddess Ashtatara. The words hold codes that are important at this time and are part of the Soul Body Fusion process.)
Through the cold darkness
I have waited for the sun to come up once again
on my human brothers and sisters.
It is past time.
Each of you holds secrets locked and coded
within your consciousness and your body—
closed and locked for your own good.
When darkness befell humanity,
much of the power was removed,
the keys guarded closely.
The keys are where you never look;
Inside yourself.
My name is ASHTATARA.
It means "mother of the world."
I am a goddess and a human,
one of a race that remembers that you are gods and goddesses too.
Once the doors begin to open, the growth moves very quickly.
Once the doors are open there is no closing them.
The activation sequence is given in silence
at a level of consciousness that is barely awake in you.
I will move now into an initiation of silence.
I will speak again when it is done . . .
[Silence for about fifteen minutes]
. . .create the possibility of a much bigger you and much more whole oneness. . .
Receive the love from this field in a way that
transforms everything you have been until now—
a love far beyond the emotional love;
a love that is the breath of God.
Receive now, deeply into your newly awakened cells of light.
Be sanctified Beloved ones.
Be sanctified permanently now.
You now carry codes of awakening.
You do not need me anymore.
I leave you now.

Kim Hyun Joong's representative: "Choi's pregnancy and miscarriage is a complete lie"
It has been revealed that Ms. Choi's side has been unable to submit proof of the reported first pregnancy and miscarriage.
On June 3, representatives of Kim Hyun Joong stated, "If you look at the medical documents submitted by Ms. Choi, there is nothing about a positive pregnancy. What is written is that there is no evidence of pregnancy. Ms. Choi's side submitted the text messages between her and Kim Hyun Joong as proof."
Ms. Choi's side responded otherwise: "Ms. Choi is currently focusing on her pregnancy… In order to prove the first pregnancy, we have brought the documents from the sonogram. Afterwards, we will submit the evidence and bring a witness. We can fully prove Ms. Choi's pregnancy. You can't hide the truth."
Furthermore, on the same day, the idol's father testified that his son previously confessed to giving Ms. Choi 600 million Won (approximately $541,608 USD) following accusations that he physically assaulted his ex-girlfriend during her pregnancy.
Currently, the artist is serving his mandatory military duty.

Silverchair: Back for more Abuse
By Adam St. James (Circus Magazine)
No one expected an album called frogstomp by the Australian teenage
group silverchair to be much more than a novelty -- least of all
guitarist/vocalist Daniel Johns, drummer Ben Gillies and bassist Chris
Joannou. But after a single called Tomorrow caught on in the States,
Daniel, Ben and Chris began living the universal dream of rock 'n' roll
stardom, traveling the world and playing to thousands of fans - and
they weren't even old enough to drive yet!
Success did not come very easily for this trio of Led Zeppelin, Black Flag and Helmet-influenced musicians, but it did not take as long for them as more rooted bands like No Doubt or 311. As mere 13-year-olds, the three developed their anger-fueled sound by playing Black Sabbath and Zeppelin covers and rehearsing at Gillies' garage in their native Newcastle city. Then known as the Innocent Criminals, the group's lucky moment came when a neighbor of Johns told the guitarist about an amateur contest run by a local TV show. They submitted a four-song demo tape to the competition's organizers. The judges were floored over the first [version] of Tomorrow, so the band won first-place.
The song was rerecorded and released on an EP in September 1994. It went on to become the fifth most successful Australian single ever. Its follow-up single Pure Massacre sold gold sales Down Under, as well.
Word about the band's talents generated a massive buzz in Europe when they embarked on a European tour to coincide with the debut album's release. By the beginning of that summer, silverchair became popular in America after advance tapes of Tomorrow were being played on radio stations nationwide. These same three teens sold millions of albums and become international superstars before the age of 16.
Now music industry veterans at the ripe old age of 17, the trio has released Freak Show, the follow-up to their breakthrough debut. Will the dream go on? Was the hit songwriting on frogstomp a fluke?
Don't count on it. Freak Show's 13 tracks showcase a band intent on seething rhythms and heat-seeking hooks. With their first single Abuse Me, the disc shows the growth of experience, both musically an lyrically, as lead singer and guitarist Daniel Johns recently discussed in a posh hotel suite in Los Angeles.
Circus: You stretched out on the new album a lot. How did all that come about?
Daniel Johns: On the first album it was like we just wanted to play it live so that when everyone came to see us live they weren't disappointed and they didn't think we were just a studio band. On this album we kind of thought we had more freedom to experiment with different instruments and stuff, so we did it.
Did you play any of those other instruments, or did you hire people?
I played a guitar/sitar. That's a guitar that sounds like a sitar. You play it like a guitar. It has some weird thing in it. But I don't play the violin, unfortunately, so I couldn't play that bit. We got people in to do that.
Lyrically there was a lot of influence from TV on your first album. Did that inspire you for this album too!
No, there was virtually none. On the first album, being that the only thing we ever did our whole lives was surf and eat food, and sleep -- that was our lives until then. And then after the first album, all of the sudden our lives just changed. We just started doing heaps more stuff and got heaps more experience. So the lyrics are a lot more personal and a lot more about personal experiences. None of it's fictional, whereas on the first album there's a lot of fictional stuff. Dreams and stuff like that.
Do you like to be able to get out your personal feelings and opinions?
Yeah. If it wasn't for music, if you had all this kind of stuff, you'd just be like confused, all the shit going around in your head. But with music it's kind of like a chance to get it all out. You can write songs about it.
Do you think it's important for people to be able to get it all out?
For some people it is and for some it isn't. It's not an album full of colaining. There's a lot of advantages to traveling around, and then there's a lot of disadvantages, just like any job. I really like dark, aggressive music. There's no point writing a dark, aggressive piece of music and then putting lyrics about how good it is to travel around. That's just pointless. When I'm in a good mood I'm out at the beach walking my dog or playing football or something. When I'm in a bad mood and I just don't feel like doing anything I go off and write songs. That's why the songs seem to come out so depressing.
Have you ever tried to write songs that weren't that way?
No. I don't want to. I don't have any desire to write happy songs. It's heavy and moody, but it doesn't sound all that depressing. Some of it's sad and some of it's just aggressive and angry. I don't get any pleasure out of listening to music that's happy. Except for Zeppelin. I like listening to him [lead singer Robert Plant] sing about girls, and it's good music.
Do you consider yourself at all lucky?
Yep. Yeah, I guess because it's kind of weird. I know there's a lot of bands out there that would kick our ass, that no one knows. And you see it as a bad and a good thing. You say, 'That's bad there's bands out there that I know are better than us that no one knows,' and you say, we're pretty lucky for people to know who we are and to listen to our music and take it seriously.'
How has all this affected your home life?
I just don't go out as much as I used to. That's the only thing that's really changed. Chris and Ben seem to go out a lot.
Why don't you go out?
I just got sick of going out and people were going, 'silverchair!' I just said, 'Oh fuck that.' The only time I go out is at night with a whole group of friends with a beanie on.
Dark sunglasses too?
Yeah, I do that too, actually. Though it looks pretty stupid going out at nighttime with sunglasses on.
You still have to deal with school at this point, right?
Yeah, one more year.
Do you have to bring work with you when you tour?
Not really, just when we get back, we've got tutors and we have to catch up with all the stuff. It's not too bad.
Where do you see yourself in, like, 10 years?
I don't know. We probably won't be in this band. I'd kind of get sick just being in the same band. I'm not sick of it yet, and I don't think I'm gonna be sick of it for a long time. But 10 years, that would be 15 years together. And 15 years together would kind of suck. But then maybe in 10 years we'll just start enjoying it more and we'll still be together, but I doubt it. It's like we'll be in different bands just playing around. 'Cause in 10 years we'll still only be 27.
There's probably a lot of people that would like to be in your position. What does it mean to you, the stuff that's happened?
It's good, but it's like any job. We don't see it as a job, but it kind of is. Like any job, it's got its advantages, it's got its disadvantages. We're not gonna complain like a lot of bands about how bad it is to be in the music industry. We've gotten to do a lot of stuff that we wouldn't get to do otherwise, so it's good.
Did you start as a singer or a guitar player?
I started as a guitar player. I didn't ever want to be a singer. When I first started, I was about 12 and I just loved Ritchie Blackmore. Everything that he did I wanted to do and I never wanted to sing because I hated just thinking of a mic being there and playing and not just concentrating. I wanted to stand in front of 10 Marshalls. Then me and Ben were together and we were playing an Elvis Presley song when we were about 12. We didn't have a singer and the mic just happened to be there, so I ended up singing. From then on, we didn't end up getting a singer. It was me.
And you felt pretty comfortable right from the start?
I hated it. I was really embarrassed. I hated singing. But now it's grown on me. It doesn't bother me. It's just part of what I do now.
Who else do you listen to?
I listen to Zeppelin a lot. A lot of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple. A lot of that kind of stuff. I'm really a big Black Sabbath and Zeppelin fan.
What is it about those bands you like?
I like how different they are. If you listen to Sabbath now, 20 years later, it still sounds heavy. I like the fact that it's kind of... it's like the Doors. If you listen to the Doors now it still sounds out there. Whereas other stuff that was heavy at the time, it's not heavy now. You just listen to it and go, 'That's not heavy at all.' And I like how Zeppelin's really... they just experimented with so much different instrumentation and stuff. That's what I wanted to do on this album and the next album. I just want to keep experimenting with different stuff so that in 20 years time people go, 'That's kind of different. That sounds good.'
So which Zeppelin album is your favorite?
I don't know because I don't have any Zeppelin albums. I have box sets and remasters and stuff like that. I never saw the point in getting an album if I could get it all in a box set. One of our friends has got every Zeppelin album, and box sets, and he knows every Zeppelin song on guitar. He's a freak. It's cool.
Did you sit down and learn all that stuff when you started playing?
Yeah, I used to just chuck on the Zeppelin and the Sabbath stuff and just figure out songs and sit in my room and play them and pretend I was in Zeppelin.
Eddie Vedder was also a big influence. How did you get into Pearl Jam?
I think just through listening to Sabbath and Zeppelin and stuff, 'cause we'd never really heard Pearl Jam and Soundgarden or anything like that. people would say, 'You sound like Pearl Jam.' And we were like, 'Who is that?' Then we went out and bought a Pearl Jam CD to see who everyone said we sounded like. And I think it's because Pearl Jam also must have listened to a lot of The Who and Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and stuff'. Then we listened to Pearl Jam when we were like 13 or 14 and we said, 'That's cool.' Then we listened to a lot of Soundgarden 'cause we heard they sound a lot like Black Sabbath. Then from that we got into Helmet, and gradually we started getting into these more underground kind of bands. Like bands that influenced Helmet, like The Melvins, and we started getting into Albini's stuff, and we gradually got into different stuff.
Do you have plans for what you'll do next?
Kind of, in my head. But nothing's real yet. I think it'll be different again. This album's kind of got really fat guitar sounds and stuff. On our next album there'll be a little bit old that, but not as much, I think. I'm kind of getting more into the cleaner but still heavy sounds, like Fugazi and Shellac, stuff like that. Kind of cleaner sounds that still sound abrasive.

Sneak Preview: Behind the scenes of the making of "Glory Road"
"I know of a team..."
-- Nevil Shed
Those are the words that escaped Nevil Shed's mouth when someone asked him about the significance of his 1966 Texas Western team that changed the landscape of American sports. "I know of a team," he said. "That's what I want people to say when they talk about one of the greatest teams to ever play in college basketball."
"We know how to play this game better than anybody living."
-- Jon Voight as Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp
In a recent story this fall in Sports Illustrated, Alexander Wolff told the tales of six black football players down South. The story starts at the University of Kentucky. It starts with the death of Greg Page, the university's first black football recruit.
"So it was that the color barrier remained intact for SEC football until 1966," Wolff writes prior to mentioning Page's 1967 death from a neck injury suffered in practice. "Logically enough, the task of breaking it fell to Kentucky, a border state that had desegregated its public schools in 1948."
That's 18 years before Page set foot on UK's campus. And of the season after Page's death, Wolff wrote that no black football players enrolled at Kentucky.
This is the difference a game makes. This game.
Prior to Texas Western's defeat of that same border-state school in the 1966 NCAA basketball championship, black athletes were barely being recruited by Kentucky. But after that, after those five "colored boys" from Texas Western proved that a group of young black men had the cohesiveness, camaraderie and composure to defeat a "disciplined team," what couldn't or wouldn't be done in 18 years finally begins to change.
And it's funny how one school can be the centerpiece of both the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, of college sports as it existed in 1966. Because as much as many of us would like to believe that "the greatest upset in NCAA history" -- as the announcer proclaims in "Glory Road" (the movie is being released by Disney, the parent company of ESPN) -- was about the revolution of five black athletes taking the court together on one of college athletics' biggest stages, we must know that the significance in this game is more about who those five brothas beat than the 72-65 score they put up.
Kentucky represented the South in much the same way that Billie Jean King represented women when she beat Bobby Riggs. If Texas Western had played Ohio State, Cincinnati or UCLA -- schools that had locks on NCAA chips during this period -- the impact of the victory would not have been as massive; this film would not have been made. But because it was Kentucky, because it was Adolph Rupp, because it was the South, because of the racism, because every school in the SEC had refused to recruit black ballplayers even though Oscar Robertson and Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor were stars while in college, because it was simply a part of history America was trying to forget, the game took on a life significantly larger than any NCAA title game until Bird met Magic in 1979.
Again, white vs. black.
Even then, even after the Kentucky football program had signed Greg Page (and Nat Northington, who became the first black player to appear in an SEC conference game, in 1967), it took until 1970 for the Kentucky basketball team to sign its first black player.
Denial, humiliation, arrogance, racism? Who knows. But one thing is definite: If Kentucky wins that game, Pat Riley never tells Jerry Bruckheimer the story because he never becomes "Pat Riley, Hall of Fame coach" ... because he doesn't win four NBA titles ... because Magic Johnson never plays basketball ... because Magic once told Riley that if it wasn't for Texas Western's beating Kentucky in that game he never would have started playing basketball ... which means Don Haskins' story never gets told and Rupp's does, which means we never see "Glory Road" because there's no reason for it to get made. Instead Ebert and Roeper would be thumbs-upping "Birth Of A Nation II: Rupp Strikes Back."
"Texas? You want me to get lynched?"
-- Mehcad Brooks as Harry Flournoy
There is no Jackie Robinson in basketball. There is no one singular figure who can be singled out and turned into a martyr. Yes, there's Sweetwater, Chuck Cooper, "Bucky" Lew, Cleo Hill, Pop Gates, "Coach" McClendon and Earl Lloyd, but none had the direct impact on American society and the civil rights movement (or was given the credit) that someone of Robinson's stature had.
Instead, it took a team, a collection of brothas from New York, Indiana, Detroit and elsewhere, to do for basketball what Malcolm X did for apathy. More than anything, the 1966 championship win was the team version of what Jesse Owens achieved in the Olympics in 1936. It didn't break down walls or barriers as much as it defeated a regime.
Just as Owens wasn't the first black person to ever win an individual gold medal in the Olympics (DeHart Hubbard, long jump, 1924), the Texas Western Miners of 1966 were not the first black players to win an NCAA ring. Even to this day -- especially with the release of "Glory Road" -- you'll hear the grumblings of the fact that the 1963 team from Loyola University of Chicago was the first "true" black team to win an NCAA basketball trophy. Not only did its squad stop Cincinnati from three-peating (with an overtime victory), it did so with four black ballplayers on the court throughout the game. But the difference in "predominately" and "totally" were paramount back then, just as "regular" and "racist" were when evaluating and judging universities.
Other teams and players don't get the props that the Texas Western team and its players do because in America's mind, the Miners went through the fire to get theirs while everyone else simply went through the wire.
Which is why, 40 years later, not only are we watching a movie about the moment, but we're able to eat Wheaties with the team's photo on the box. We're able to hear stories from Shed, Harry Flournoy, David Lattin, Willie Cager, Willie Worsley and Orsten Artis. We're able to understand the fire. Their walk through.
Their story is of a three-year period where me-against-the-world took on a unified meaning. A significance that to this day rings like freedom.
Because of them we're able to say, "I know of a team..."
"Activity without accomplishment."
"You are athletes -- but so are monkeys."
-- Josh Lucas as Don Haskins
Both lines in the movie represent what Don Haskins is all about, which is a beautiful thing. In a 1999 interview with Bruce Lowitt of the St. Petersburg Times, Haskins downplayed the importance of the game while at the same time suggesting how affected he is by its historical relevance.
He says: "The teams that we were playing -- like Arizona, Arizona State, New Mexico, New Mexico State -- we were playing against black players all the time. It really wasn't that big a deal. ... I never thought a thing about it." Later, in an interview with Frank Fitzpatrick, author of the brilliant "And The Walls Came Tumbling Down: Kentucky, Texas Western and the Game That Changed American Sports," Haskins says, "I'll be honest with you, I'm sick of talking about the damn thing. Sometimes I wish we finished second."
The spectrum of which leads to the greater understanding of how deep it really must have been. If fatigue had set in with Haskins' talking about it, how does he think it felt for the players who actually went through it?
Finish second?
Imagine how insignificant his players would be today if they had.
And although this game is not about Haskins, the movie is.
His subtle messages throughout give the audience a glimpse of how his wisdom not only helped this team win a basketball championship but also helped seven black men get prepped for life beyond basketball. Not coming in second that one time did as much for their lives as it did for every one of John Wooden's title-winning players (and Wooden won 10 championships).
For black athletes in those days -- in an era that was oppressive nationwide, not just below the Mason-Dixon Line (note: although the Harlem Globetrotters began barnstorming as a basketball team in 1927, they didn't play a game in Harlem until two years after the Miners won that championship) -- losing was never an option, for them or for the white men who dared to coach in un-Jim Crow numbers.
"Welcome to the back of the bus, white boy."
-- Sam Jones III as Willie Worsley
Ron Thomas, in "They Cleared The Lane," writes of the 1966 NCAA finals: "Black attendance at sporting events reflected the common racial customs of the times. Some events allowed blacks, but only if they watched from their own section of the arena. Although whites revered Coach Rupp, blacks detested him." It was known, said S.T. Roach, a former high school coach from Lexington, Ky., that Rupp didn't want black players. According to Thomas, when Texas Western with its five black starters whipped Kentucky, "blacks all around the Commonwealth rose up and cheered because Rupp had gotten beaten."
Bobby Joe Hill, the team's leader, said in Lowitt's story, "[The victory] was the thing that opened doors in the ACC, the SEC. ... Everybody started recruiting blacks after that."
Said Lattin, the center, in the same article: "It certainly made it possible for a lot of black kids to go to majority white colleges to get a better education. It was a significant point that turned racial issues around and made it possible for guys to get scholarships -- and not just basketball. Football and baseball, as well."
And if Texas Western loses that game? Maybe it means Bobby Joe Hill is alive today but without a story of himself played out on the big screen. Maybe it means Nat Northington never suits up for Kentucky's football team in that SEC game in 1967.
This game gives Al Davis' generic "just win, baby" a whole 'nother meaning, don't you think?
A loss would have meant that Earvin Johnson would have never become Magic. Michael Jordan claimed he never would have gone to UNC if Texas Western had not won that game. Others? Try that without this win, John Thompson isn't allowed to put together those teams at Georgetown without resistance from the school or the conference. Then in no way does Jerry Tarkanian build those UNLV G-Unit squads of the early '90s. Then five freshmen never come together at the University of Michigan a few years later with plans to take over the world.
More direct, if Texas Western loses that game, Nate Archibald never leaves NYC to follow Bobby Joe's footprints, Maurice Cheeks never leaves Chicago years later to put his feet where Archibald's were (at West Texas A&M), which means Timmy Hardaway never follows Cheeks. More substantial, Nolan Richardson never gets out of El Paso to coach Arkansas to become only one of three black coaches to ever win an NCAA championship.
And Tubby Smith never gets interviewed in 1997 for the coaching vacancy at the University of Kentucky.
Which brings us back to the beginning. Full circle squared. Six degrees unseparated. Back to where the chariots swing low but the ropes swung high. The birth of Jim Crow. Back down South.
This game was more than just the breaking of a barrier, the Emancipation Proclamation of basketball; this was about the advancement of process and procedure. The speeding up of human rights. At the pace desegregation was going at the time in education and in sports, if Texas Western had lost that game, it may not have been until 1984 -- 18 years, remember? -- that America would see five black guys on a basketball court at the same time on the same team playing for an NCAA championship.
White supremacy has a way of not relinquishing anything until it itself is either defeated or proven unsuccessful. You have to understand this in order to realize that the game they played on March 19, 1966, wasn't what was important. What was important was those five "nigras" won.

Founded in 2002, Word of Life Fellowship (WoLF) has worked for nearly a decade to find a permanent home. The purchase of nearly eight acres in Cibolo, at the corner of what will soon be a major intersection at FM 1103 and Coy Lane offered the growing congregation a wonderful opportunity. Enlisting the help of Heimsath Architects, the congregation and its professional team developed an overall vision for a long-term development to meet a range of ministry needs.
The solution takes advantage of the gradual slope by siting the new structures along the higher contours to be visible from the roadway intersection. The new 400 seat sanctuary will be a major element in the landscape. It is supported by classrooms, outreach programs and a fellowship hall that are all connected together by a single unifying space christened "the Commons." This space is accessed through a courtyard covered by a trellis that forms a welcoming image of entry for the congregation and visitors.
Phase One of the master plan, which maximizes a limited budget, will begin construction in 2016. The program consists of approximately 5,000 square feet of new building. Several spaces will be shared with functions that will be accommodated elsewhere in later phases. For example, the 200-seat sanctuary will serve for social and fellowship activities. Eventually, the fellowship hall will expand in the same location once the new sanctuary is constructed. The Phase One classrooms and offices are accessible from the main assembly as is the new hospitality room that will eventually be expanded into a church kitchen.

Seeing how quickly news of the resignation of Pope Benidict XVI spread on Twitter, The Atlantic's Rebecca Rosen wondered how people found out about the last Papal resignation back in the Middle Ages.
In 1415, mass media happened not on a TV but at, well, Mass. "This is the big thing about the Middle Ages," George Ferzoco, a medievalist at the University of Bristol, told me. "We tend to think that they had no such thing as a mass medium. The fact is they did. And that mass medium was the sermon, because everyone would regularly be at one.
"Imagine," he continued, "what it's like to have a major international meeting lasting a few years, and you've got to discuss written texts. Well you've got to have an army of people writing this stuff out, nonstop, day and night. So all of these people together would have been potential news sources. They would have sent news back to their home cities, or indeed to people who they deem are important or interested."
From Constance, news traveled outward through a network of messengers on horseback. Couriers "would take documents out of Constance, go to a town 20 or 30 miles down the road, transfer things there to a fresh person and a fresh person and so on," said Ferzoco. Medievalists I spoke with estimated that this sort of "Pony Express" system could have conveyed the news of Gregory XII's resignation to major European cities such as Paris in something like a week.

So, my little black and white mini schnauzer is 1 year and 5 months old. He is such a blessing to me. Truly my angel in doggie clothes.
After dealing with life and physical injuries from an accident I became severely depressed. I didn't want to look at anyone much less talk to them. I felt so defeated, lonely, and angry. I prayed a lot for the good Lord to see me through and help me and to give me what I needed.
My brother has a mini and I would keep him and walk him and he was so caring. I decided I wanted a dog. Searched around and found a little mini that had a litter. I went to see the litter. I picked up multiple puppies but this one little vocal, energetic dog got on my shoulder and latched onto my neck as if he was nursing. My heart melted. I couldn't wait until I got to bring my little guy home.
So, the day finally came that I brought him home. He was absolutely perfect. Very easy to house train. He just picked up tricks. He can do a few like standing and turning, sit, he gives sugar on the nose with no licking its adorable.
Needless to say on my worst days he keeps me going. He sleeps with me every night. He goes everywhere with me unless dogs aren't allowed. He is waiting at the door everyday when I get home from work. He loves me no matter what. I can be me and that little dog is happy, as long as, he can be with me. I just can't imagine life without my little angel in doggie clothes.

Welcome to a new Film Friday and the start of our spotlight series on the Pre-Code work of the unjustly under-praised Kay Francis (1905-1968), one of the most popular Warner Brothers stars of the 1930s. Known today as "Kay Fwancis" for her distinguished speech impediment, I am of the opinion that Kay Francis is nevertheless one of the decade's most natural and captivating leading ladies. We covered one of her little known Post-Code films, The Goose And The Gander (1935), in our series on 1935, but the only Pre-Code picture of hers that we've featured is the divine Trouble In Paradise (1932), which is among my favorite films. There are 11 more Pre-Code Francis pictures that I want to cover here. We start with…
Guilty Hands (1931)
A district attorney tries to frame an innocent girl for the murder he committed. Starring Lionel Barrymore, Kay Francis, Madge Evans, William Bakewell, C. Aubrey Smith, and Polly Moran. Screenplay and story by Bayard Veiller. Directed by W.S. Van Dyke. Lionel Barrymore plays a district attorney who attempts to literally show us how to get away with murder (when his daughter intends to marry a cad) in this fast-paced film that turns the 'whodunit?' genre on its ear; this is a clear 'will he get away with it?' Blessed with a solid cast, a great premise, and a terribly clever script, this is a uniquely engaging picture, despite some conspicuous flaws.
"Richard Grant, a lawyer who served as District Attorney of New York for ten years, believes that murder is justifiable under certain circumstances. Richard's daughter Barbara, who adores her father, takes him to an island off the Atlantic coast, where they will be the guests of the wealthy playboy Gordon Rich. Upon their arrival, Gordon, an old friend and former client of Richard's, tells the lawyer that he wants to change his will because he is about to be married. When Richard learns that Gordon plans to wed his daughter, he objects to it and reminds the roué that he knows all about the "accident" many years ago in which a former bride of his fell to her death from a high-rise balcony. Because he fears for his daughter's safety, Richard warns Gordon that he will kill him before he sees him marry Barbara. Later, Gordon forces Barbara to reject the affections of Tommy, a young man who is in love with her. Richard's attempt to convince his daughter of Gordon's unsuitability proves useless.
"At Gordon's dinner party, his engagement to Barbara is announced, and Marjorie West, Gordon's secret lover, shows her displeasure at the news. Later that night, the suspicious Gordon orders two of his servants to follow Richard, and instructs them to report to him if he leaves his room. Gordon then writes a note to the police in which he names Richard as his murderer in the event that he is found dead. Richard manages leave his room undetected and then sneaks into Gordon's study, shoots him, and makes it appear as if the host committed suicide. Marjorie screams when she discovers the body and immediately insists that Gordon was murdered. After Richard tells Barbara that Gordon may have killed himself because he couldn't live with the shame of having wronged so many women, he is shocked when she tells him that she decided not to marry him prior to his death. Richard tries to pin the murder on Marjorie, but she discovers the imprint of Gordon's note to the police on his desk blotter, as well as the props Richard used to make it appear as if he were still in his room during the murder…" (This shortened summary — in an effort to maintain suspense — is brought to you by TCM.)
Modern viewers may find the film shockingly contemporary for its decision to structure the story around an interesting protagonist who, despite earning our sympathy and support (we want him to get away with the murder), grows more detestable as the picture progresses. This notion of the complicated antihero, and the ways in which an audience's favor can be alternativly manipulated, is something that is so over-explored right now that it, at least in my mind, has become passé. But it's different to watch an 80+ year old film negotiate the premise; it's almost as if we're seeing it for the first time. (Although, I should like to point out for newcomers to the Pre-Code genre, these complicated narrative phenomenons are entirely more common than you would expect. Part of what makes the films produced from 1930-1934 so engrossing is their mature renderings of character and story. This is but one example.) Thus, the film most succeeds in its depiction of the Barrymore character, who, because of his portrayer, is inherently likable, and because of the shading of his target, is given a completely understandable motive. In fact, when Barrymore declares that he can commit the perfect murder, we want him to do it.
But then enters Kay Francis as the victim's secret mistress. Given her complicit duplicity, the expectation is that she'd be an unlikable character. In fact, it's just the opposite: she's just as sympathetic a figure as Barrymore — and with an equally hard edge that works for the film's enticing visual darkness. (And note that this is a very well framed and lit picture. Consistently nice to watch.) It is Francis' character that works to manipulate our perceptions of Barrymore's, as he slowly becomes the film's villain. We are shocked when he decides to frame her for the murder, and then delight when she figures out Barrymore's technique for making it appear like he has a sound alibi. By now, we've come to dislike Barrymore — partly because we learn that Madge Evans' character no longer intended to marry the victim, thus negating the necessity of the murder. When we come to the part of the film in which Barrymore blackmails Francis, we're desperately hoping that he gets his just desserts. Does he? Well, I won't spoil it for those who have yet to see the film.
As mentioned in the introduction, the picture is not without its weaknesses. The most notable flaw is the theatricality of the performances. Now, you all know that I love a good piece of theatre, and since this film plays a lot like a black box murder mystery, I'm not opposed to performances of an accompanying style. At the same time, I am unable to support acting choices that I feel are inorganic, and several of the big performers in Guilty Hands (Barrymore, Francis, and Evans, in particular) all have moments that do not ring true. As you might expect, this undermines the complexities of their characters, making them all a little bit less multi-dimensional than they would otherwise appear. As it stands, Barrymore's character is the most developed, and the performance, to his credit, works much more often than anticipated. But the sexual undercurrent that runs under Evans' character is never fully realized, and even our spotlighted star is not above overplaying in an unnecessary attempt to amp up the drama. Yet while there are a handful of individual moments that don't land, the performances are collectively effective.
On the whole, this is a strong picture featuring a unique premise that takes its audience on a non-predictable ride. (Wait till you see that ending!) The performers are top-notch, and despite a few contrivances, the cast does an electric job of making the story even more engrossing than it would appear on paper. Kay Francis is imperative to our evolving perceptions of Barrymore as the protagonist, and as evidenced by this film, the more Francis, the better. It's Barrymore's picture, but he couldn't have done it without her. So, in short, this film is recommended.
Come back next Friday for another Francis Pre-Code! And tune in on Monday for the start of a whole new week of fun on That's Entertainment!

In a hospital waiting room, dozens of pregnant women and their families are waiting for their turn to be called. They can't wait to find out the sex of the baby. They can't wait for those first ultrasound pictures.
But one woman sits in a dark corner with her partner. She isn't excited at all. The last time she was here was when she found out her baby died. And she's terrified.
Unfortunately, this is a common situation. An estimated one in four pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. In Canada, about one in 125 pregnancies ends in a stillbirth, which is the death of a fetus in utero after 20 weeks' gestation.
Women who've had a pregnancy loss often feel fear, anxiety and uncertainty during a subsequent pregnancy, as well as joy. Key times like ultrasounds can be traumatic. These women can be frustrated by health information that does not recognize their conflicting emotions.
As a medical librarian, my job is to connect people to trusted information about their health. Medical librarians research how people find and use health information in many contexts. So when I lost my twin sons to stillbirth at 36 weeks, I was disappointed that there was little information available for women like me — women who were pregnant again, but without having given birth to a live baby.
Stillbirth as failure
I conducted a research project in which I interviewed six women in depth over the course of their pregnancies after loss. I wanted to know what sort of information would be helpful to them throughout the various stages of their pregnancies. How did they want to receive information about their pregnancy? What were their greatest concerns? How were they managing their emotions?
Most pregnancy books and websites downplay the risks of pregnancy loss. Instead, they emphasize the role of personal responsibility in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. My research found that for women who have experienced a loss, this can be both isolating and condescending. For example, the slogan to Health Canada's website on pregnancy is "A Healthy Pregnancy is in Your Hands." To a woman who had a loss in her last pregnancy, it implies that it was her fault. Even the word miscarriage can suggest that it is the woman who failed to carry the pregnancy.
While much of the information these women want is the same as other women, they want it delivered in a way that is sensitive to their past experience. An ultrasound is a joyful time to catch a glimpse of your baby, get keepsake photos and more information about the health of your baby. It is also a frightening time when a woman might experience flashbacks, or get reassurance that her baby is growing normally.
Navigating pregnancy questions
Women are also interested in pregnancy information that is unique to the experience of loss. Many of the women I interviewed wanted guidance on how to navigate common pregnancy questions, such as an innocent stranger in the grocery store line asking "Is this your first?" A simple question for many people, but a loaded one for a woman who is pregnant after a loss. People are often uncomfortable discussing miscarriage and stillbirth and answering that this isn't your first can lead to further questions as people assume that you have a child at home.
Other sources of pregnancy information, such as prenatal classes, can also be difficult for these women. Most hospitals and health units offer these classes for new mothers, but the women I interviewed felt reluctant to attend as their past histories were not welcomed by the other women, who wanted only positive affirmations about pregnancy and giving birth.
While larger hospitals, like Sunnybrook in Toronto, have dedicated departments for women who are pregnant after a loss, this isn't available to everyone. And women in rural or remote areas often have limited access to in-person support.
Delivering health information that is relevant to a women's unique issues shouldn't be this much of a challenge. Pregnancy after a loss is common, so it's time pregnancy guides reflected this.

The Billing Collections department recently had the pleasure of volunteering with the Community Action Council of Howard County at the Community Garden.
Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a brief overview of how the garden works and how our contributions help to provide the food bank with organic selections of fresh vegetables not typically available to the clients. We were then given some gloves and tools that were available all thanks to donations, and they put us to work. All of the "Master Gardeners" were very friendly and eager to talk us through the process. We were able to assist in harvesting and planting, helping pull weeds and ready soil.
The opportunity left us with a sense of accomplishment at the amount of work we were able to complete. It was a very rewarding experience that we look forward to being involved with again soon.

Tag: robo-signing
Bank of America today announced it will stop foreclosures in all fifty states.
The bank said the foreclosure process on delinquent borrowers will continue, but it will not proceed to judgment or a foreclosure sale.
"Robosigning" allegations are mounting and Sen. Chris Dodd said he will hold a hearing on foreclosure practices November 16. State attorney generals are also investigating and initiating or contemplating fraud suits. Here's more on the prevalence of robo-signing.
Bloomberg has an interesting column describing how even a man who had no mortgage had his home foreclosed on due to the robo-signing.
"We started instructing people to pull their documents from the clerk of the court," says Anne Batte, who runs a foreclosure-assistance group in Georgia called Operation Restoration. "And the more we instructed, the more we saw. Nearly every document I have seen has been improperly signed."

[VIDEO] Ochocinco Tweets During Basketball Wives Premiere: Evelyn, Come Back Home + Watch Episode 1, Season 5
Let the games begin!
Shaunie O'Neal, Evelyn Lozada, Tami Roman, Suzie Ketchum are back with the fifth installment of Basketball Wives. And while we were thoroughly entertained with drama and a few reflective life moments by some of the cast, all of the good stuff was happening on twitter, with cast members and ex-hubby's chiming in. Up first, Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, the ex-husband of Evelyn. During the episode he shared a few, sarcastic and comical tweets, one of which suggested he wanted Evelyn back.
Tami Roman also took to twitter, clarifying the real issue that she has with her ex-husband, former NBA baller, Kenny Anderson:
Everybody thinks my problem with Kenny is about money-its not, its about a relationship that was non existent for my daughters. Now I could go into details and blow up spots and tell some truths NOBODY would like for me to say, but I have never done that & wont start…BUT dont trip with me or my kids, cuz my bags stay packed and im always ready to travel
Evelyn Lozada remained pretty mum, besides a few retweets here and there, but her mentions were going bananas.
Missed the episode? Check it out below.
P.S. What are your thoughts on episode 1 and will you follow the entire season?

The Sound SymposiumBy Newfoundland & Labrador
Whether it's the island portion of the province or Labrador, there's no shortage of sounds to delight the ear. Perhaps this is what inspired the late Don Wherry, and the original organizers of the Newfoundland and Labrador Sound Symposium, to create such a unique and dynamic festival of sounds.
The Sound Symposium has been running bi-annually since conception in 1983. The festival brings together musicians, actors, dancers, visual and environmental artists, and creators of all stripes – both local and international, 'new age' and traditional, in celebration of the beauty of sound.
One of the marquis events that happens during this festival occurs daily throughout the festival at 12:30pm NST. During the Harbour Symphony you'll hear original pieces composed by musicians and artists locally and abroad. The catch – the compositions are played by the ships in the harbour. More precisely, the horns of each ship.
The symphony's conductor, Delf Hohmann, gathers the 'musicians', or in this case 'horn blowers', prior to the big moment at 12:30pm to rehearse, which they do vocally. After the rehearsal, the musicians make their way to various boats in the harbour. They can range from fishing boats, to freighters, and even a Coast Guard vessel or two. The radio cues the performers.
There's nothing quite like the look that people flash on their faces once the horns start blowing.
It's loud. Like, real loud.
But if you stop for a moment and listen – really listen – you'll hear something remarkable.
Music that echoes from every crack and crevice in hillsides that surround St. John's Harbour.
This province is full of beautiful noises. Whether it's the sound of nets scratching against an old fishing shed in the wind, the pitter patter of a puffins wings as it takes flight across the water, or the rhythm of a one-lunger (a boat powered by a one cylinder engine) putting it's way out the bay – our musical range is vast and seemingly unending.
The Sound Symposium brings those sounds to the rest of the world, and the rest of the world to us.
