'Room 237,' 'The Shining' and How Stanley Kubrick Staged the Moon Landing
Room 237 has been called the perfect film for film critics because it's all about the overly obsessive nature of dissecting a movie, something film critics get paid to do for a living. And if there's any movie worthy of a nine-part dissection, it's Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, which is one of those movies that will forever have people debating its signs, symbols, codes, meanings and secret hidden agendas spread all over the film like a psychedelic cream cheese. Through interviews with "Shining experts," Room 237 transports us to a world of wild conspiracy theories while also serving as a fascinating history lesson on both The Shining and Stanley Kubrick's career. The problem is the film, in its current state, cannot be released. Every frame is made up of different film clips, primarily from different Stanley Kubrick movies, and the filmmakers don't have the rights to any of them. In fact, at the film's Sundance premiere, director Rodney Ascher said he was still shocked they had actually made it far enough to screen Room 237 for an actual audience at one of the world's largest film festivals.
But the way it's constructed is what makes Room 237 so compelling. These long, monotonous interviews with guys we never see are cleverly reconstructed using clips of characters from Kubrick movies (Tom Cruise's character in Eyes Wide Shut is used many times), as well as clips from The Shining to serve as visual representation of the theories they're attempting to prove. And what sort of crazy theories are they attempting to prove? Well, the nuttiest one claims Kubrick was hired to stage the moon landing, and that The Shining was his way of coming to terms and owning up to his participation in it. The "expert" in this case provides proof in the form of Danny's Apollo 11 sweater, as well as the plate on the door to Room 237 -- the Overlook Hotel's most mysterious, intoxicating and deadly room -- which reads "Room No 237." When rearranged, this spells out "Moon Room."
Other theories include the notion that the entire film is meant to represent the genocide of the American Indians, with proof evident in all the American Indian references hidden throughout the hotel. Another expert claims The Shining is Kubrick's film about the Holocaust, pointing out all the strange occurrences of the number "42" (1942 was the year Hitler gave orders to exterminate the Jews).
Room 237 also spends a great deal of time touring the Overlook Hotel, examining things that don't make sense; pieces of furniture that disappear or change color within the same scene, or windows that shouldn't exist. Why the carpet Danny is playing on reverses itself mid-scene, or how come the hotel staff walk through the lobby carrying extremely light loads (one chair?) at a time.
One of the more fascinating detours involves an art exhibition featuringThe Shining where folks decided to play the movie forwards and backwards at the same time, superimposing the images over each other to see how they would match up. Very much similar to the whole Wizard of Oz/Pink Floyd myth that's been entertaining stoners in their dorm rooms for years, this alternate way of viewing The Shining is most definitely up for interpretation right from the first frames, which lay the opening helicopter shot on top of the final date on the photo of Jack frozen in time. The creep factor comes into play when you realize the road they're flying over was completed in the same year featured in that image, 1921.
Unfortunately we'll never know whether Kubrick legitimately snuck these hidden agendas into The Shining, or if it's all in our heads. We do know the filmmaker studied the art of subliminal seduction in the years prior to making The Shining, and it's definitely possible he wanted to try out some of what he learned in the film. Regardless of what is or isn't true, Room 237 is a really fascinating look back at The Shining, as well as an intriguing study of obsession and how it can ultimately lead to us to become the very thing (or people) we're obsessed with.

You may already own a piece of Turkish art, assuming that the carpet you haggled over in the Istanbul bazaar was really hand-made, composed of natural fibers, knotted or woven, dyed and designed properly.
Don't bother to call an appraiser; there's virtually no chance your carpet dates to the Ottoman period, from 1299 to 1922.
If you want an Oushak (also known as Usak or Ushak), be prepared to spend at least $15,000 "for something really quite nice, half that for something decent," says William Robinson, a Christie's senior director who heads the auction house's international Islamic art and carpets department.
Because of Turkey's location, history, and culture, its fine art — ceramics, carpets, metal work — is not so much Turkish as it is Islamic, Ottoman or Anatolian, a geographic and historical term for the western-most protrusion of Asia.
Given that complexity, Robinson has some advice for would-be investors. "You need to speak to the people who know — dealers, auction houses. They are very happy to talk you through the options," he says. "It's much better to learn hands-on than to study it in books."
The main areas are calligraphy, carpets, ceramics and metals.
In ceramics (tiles, plates, bowls, vessels), Iznik has no peers. But among carpets, Oushak is one of many categories — Seljuk, Hereke, Ta?p?nar and Izmir — spanning the sprawling Ottoman Empire. The Iznik and Oushak styles, like many others, derive from the respective towns where they were made, fostering industries that produced these items for decades.
Iznik, however, was the ceramic manufacturing center of the empire, which may explain why one can find "decent" 17th-century pieces for about $2,400, says Sara Plumbly, who heads sales for Christie's Islamic art department.
London dealer Simon M. W. Ray of Simon Ray Limited, who focuses mainly on 16th- and 17th-century works, describes Turkey as a "strong market."
"It is attractive art, keeps its price and there's a good group of collectors," he says.
Take a look at 10 classic pieces along with analyses from market experts. (Official prices are in British pounds, and converted to U.S. dollars, based on current exchange rates .)

A new year often means new faces. Today we will salute a couple right off the bat.
First, THUMBS UP to Pam Fox, new president/chief executive officer of Twin Lakes Community. She�s no stranger to the folks out there, having served multiple roles on that campus for almost 15 years. She was originally hired by Twin Lakes as a legal consultant in the late 1990s before becoming a board member and then chief operating officer. She developed a program that assisted the adult children of seniors living at the community, ensuring continued care if and when the elderly parents passed away. Her vision is to also cultivate a program to provide services, access to resources, programming, nursing staff and activities to seniors not living on campus, and who continue to live in their own homes.
And THUMBS UP and welcome to Kim Crawford of Duluth, Minn., who has been picked as new executive director of Allied Churches of Alamance County, succeeding the Rev. Harold �Hunter� Thompson. Allied Churches provides an array of services to the homeless and needy, including daily lunches in the Good Shepherd Kitchen and an emergency night shelter. Crawford previously worked with Life House Inc., a nonprofit agency in Minnesota feeding and sheltering at-risk, homeless youth and young adults. We suspect she�ll find our winters here a tad milder than at her previous home.
THUMBS UP to the planned 8,000-square-foot recycling processing facility to be built at the Alamance County landfill this year. The landfill�s current year budget provides $300,000 for the project, so no more tax dollars should be necessary. Greg Thomas, county landfill manager, says the county has reached a threshold with its recycling program and has run out of space. The operation now generates more than 19,725 tons of recyclables, which resulted in sales of more than $788,000 during the past five years. That�s green in more ways than one.
THUMBS UP to Burlington City Councilman Celo Faucette, an active board member of North Park in Motion. Faucette�s efforts at the community park have been recognized by the United Way�s Community Council, which named him the 2012 Alamance County Volunteer of the Year in the Senior Citizen category. The park is near and dear to him, having grown up playing on its fields and he has applied his determination and spirit to make sure improvements are made and the park serves its users as best as possible.
THUMBS UP to news that what was once Marilyn�s Shoes, the downtown Burlington building at 347 S. Main St., will soon be home to The Treasure House Shoppes, a locally established mix of consignment and independently owned shops. The Treasure House has been in business for eight years, and owner Mary Anne Butler has been in at its current location, at 1358 S. Church St., for about four years and now she wants to be downtown. For a downtown that has taken a lot of economic hits and a disastrous attempt at redevelopment in the 70s, hearing people �wanting� to come back is music to our ears.
THUMBS UP to Alamance Regional Medical Center for a donation that ensures every school in the Alamance-Burlington system will have at least one defibrillator machine. The hospital is donating 37 of the automatic external defibrillators, or AEDs. The equipment has a total value of $46,204. The devices check heart rhythm and, if needed, send an electric shock in an attempt to restore a normal rhythm. They are used in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.
And speaking of the hospital, another THUMBS UP to ARMC for receiving the Public Health Partners Award from the North Carolina Association of Local Health Directors. ARMC was recognized for working with the Alamance County Health Department, Healthy Alamance and other organizations to help fund and coordinate programs that address pediatric asthma, high-risk pregnancy, breastfeeding, community emergency preparedness, mental health needs, and community-based health and wellness programs.
That�s a healthy partnership.

The Queen has already made the Duchess of Cambridge an integral part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
And now she is also planning to include her parents.
Michael and Carole Middleton will be guests aboard the Elizabethan – a paddle steamer that will form part of the Thames boating pageant.
Kate's siblings, Pippa and James, may also be present.
"Michael and Carole's inclusion on the Elizabethan has only just emerged and has taken a lot of people by surprise, but the Queen is incredibly supportive of the Duchess and her family," an insider told the Daily Mail.
"Boats travelling in the Royal Squadron are solely reserved for special guests of the Queen, which demonstrates just how far the Middletons have come."

Do you suppose that's an error? It's supposed to be black - you have to make a window, so try pressing ctrl+shift+enter. Also, it's good to install dmenu - and to read the extremely short man page.
Assuming that it does in fact load properly, in which case you probably get at least a mouse pointer on screen.

Mexican director, Guillermo del Toro, has revealed he would like Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch to join his cast for the remake of Frankenstein.
The Pacific Rim director, who is currently working with the Atonement star on his horror thriller Crimson Peak, has already got plans to work with the British actor in the future.
"I am hoping to direct Cumberbatch again in a new film version of Frankenstein," he told the Daily Telegraph.
This is not the first time that Benedict would take on a role surrounding Mary Shelley's horror novel. He has previously appeared in Danny Boyle's stage production in London in 2011 alongside Johnny Lee Miller, with whom he alternated the lead role of Victor Frankenstein and the Monster.
2013 is already a busy year for the Star Trek actor who already has three upcoming films out for release this year including The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, August: Osage County and The Fifth Estate, in which he plays WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Benedict will also reprise his role as London-based detective Sherlock Holmes in the third series of BBC drama Sherlock, which is due to air on BBC One in late 2013 or early 2014.

NATCHITOCHES, La. – A once thriving, horse racing business in Cenla is now dealing with what some may describe as a fallen empire, and innocent animals are the victims in this downfall. News Channel 5's Rachael Penton investigates 'The Ryder's River Ridge Rescue.'
Ryder's River Ridge Farm sits quietly along Williams Avenue in Natchitoches.
It's the farm where founder Firal Ryder built his empire of thoroughbred horses, and soon became one of the most well-respected breeders and racers in the state.
"I guess you'd say they were going to have to run against some winners," Firal's brother Paul Ryder said.
Paul Ryder, brother to the farm's founder, says that Firal lived and breathed for his farm and for his business — even picking up the title of Breeder of the Year in 2009.
"That's the reason he was able to become one of the leading breeders, because his horses were taken care of well. His mares in that pasture with lush grass. They were fed twice a day," Paul said.
But later that year, Firal was diagnosed with Dementia, among other health problems, and soon became too ill to continue operating the farm. Paul said that during that time, Firal's son Clay picked up the reigns.
And that's where the story takes a turn.
"Disgraceful to say, what it looks like compared to what it always used to be when he was able to oversee it," Paul said.
As for Paul Ryder, he said he wants to make sure his brother Firal's good reputation lives on.
"That's the reason I'm here…to clear anyone's mind of him being responsible for anything that's happened up there because [I've known] my brother for 80 years," Paul said.
The Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's Department is investigating the situation along with the state police. But so far, no charges have been pressed against [Clay] Ryder.

Spring has finally arrived and Canadians are clogging neighbourhood roads and sidewalks trying to get back into shape after a long winter. Yet as tempting as it is to get out there and hit the streets like you never left them, it pays to ease into your first outdoor workouts of the season.
Going too fast and too long the first time it's warm enough to pull on spring gear can be a mistake for walkers, runners and cyclists of all abilities. Not only does your body need time to get used to the sun, wind and pavement, it takes a while to reach the same level of speed and conditioning you were at before dialing it back for the winter.
You may think this an obvious piece of advice, but when it comes to spring fever, we Canadians get it bad. As soon as the sun is out and the temperature hits the double digits, we're out there with more enthusiasm than common sense.
Unfortunately, that enthusiasm is quickly replaced by fatigue as your body runs out of gas well before the end of the workout. Before you panic and wonder if age has finally caught up with you, consider taking a more measured approach to spring training.
The first step is to set your goal at about half the distance you were doing before the winter break — even if you've been hitting the gym regularly during the last few months or weeks. Let your body slowly get used to the more physically demanding outdoor environment before stretching it out longer.
The next step is pacing yourself better so that you have the energy needed to finish your workout. The best pacing strategy for this time of year is to start off slower than your normal pace with the intention of picking it up somewhere after the halfway mark. Called a negative split, the goal is to finish the last half of your workout faster than the first half.
Starting conservatively not only preserves energy for when you need it, it reduces the risk of an early season injury, builds confidence in your ability to achieve your workout goals and improves fitness, all worthwhile goals for this time of year.
Effective for walkers, runners or cyclists, negative splits work for all distances from walks under 30 minutes to bike rides that last several hours.
There's no need to do a lot of calculations to figure out the halfway point of your workout, just divide your workout into a series of segments, gradually increasing your speed as you progress through the workout.
How slow should you start? Use the talk test to gauge your intensity. If you're exercising with a partner, you should be able to hold a conversation. If you're exercising alone, you should be able to say a nursery rhyme out loud.
Steadily build on that easy pace until the end is near. Then gauge the amount of energy you have left and decide how fast you want to bring it home.
During an everyday workout, you probably want your closing minutes to be done at a pace that requires effort, versus just cruising home. Later in the season, however, especially if you race on the local circuit or train with a club or group of friends, you may want to finish off that last segment at a pace that is as close to your maximum effort as possible provided that you can maintain that speed all the way to the finish line.
What does that kind of effort feel like? Again, use the talk test. This time, however, you should only be able to get a few words out while pushing toward the end of your workout.
As spring stretches on and your fitness improves, you can go ahead and start out a bit faster. Most elite distance athletes strive to maintain a consistent speed from start to finish, which ultimately results in faster times. But for the recreational athlete, it's all about finding a strategy that works for you.
Some athletes, especially those with a few more miles on them, need more time to find their rhythm, which is why they start off slow. Others are just naturally slow starters who find it tough to come out of the gate fast, even in peak condition.
In fact, the nice thing about starting slow and finishing strong is that you always feel like you've got something in the tank, which makes your workouts more enjoyable. On the flip side, starting out fast can feel good, but trust me that feeling doesn't last long.
In fact, struggling to complete a workout knowing that you've exhausted the last of your energy reserves is a life lesson you don't want to repeat.
So go ahead and indulge in that spring fever. Just take a little extra time to smell the roses at the start of your workout before moving into high gear.

Roddick hammers Tomic to progress
Andy Roddick left his farewell to tennis for another night as he dismantled Australian teenager Bernard Tomic to reach the third round of the US Open.
Roddick announced on his 30th birthday on Thursday that this tournament would be his last and took a couple of deep breaths as he stepped out onto Arthur Ashe Stadium for what could have been his last match.
The clash had the look of the one between Kim Clijsters and Laura Robson on Wednesday that sent the Belgian into retirement earlier than would have been expected against one of the game's rising stars.
But Roddick was on top form in a record 27th night match on Flushing Meadows' giant main stage, while Tomic most definitely was not and the 2003 champion ran out an extremely comfortable 6-3 6-4 6-0 winner.
Roddick admitted he had been emotional before the match saying: "I've been trying to be good all day but I had a rough patch about 15 minutes before when I walked by a TV when it was showing one of those slow-motion montages. There wasn't any volume but I assume it was set to an 80s ballad. That got me a little bit. I wanted to come out and be aggressive and that worked."
Tomic, the only teenager in the world's top 100, looked nervous at the start and an immediate break of serve was enough for Roddick to take the first set.
The American was serving very well and coming to the net often and his pressure paid off in the ninth game of the second set with another break, while Tomic never got a look in on Roddick's serve.
The 19-year-old reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year as a qualifier but his progress has stalled this season and he has won only four of his last 13 matches.
The third set was horribly one-sided as Roddick won at a canter to set up a third-round meeting with Italy's Fabio Fognini on Sunday.
He added: "I know Fabio, we're very friendly, he's a nice guy. I'll look forward to it and I'm going to try to stick around a little longer."

Rated 3 out of 5 by classylady5757 from VERY, VERY THIN DRESS The color and length of this dress is exactly what you see in the picture. I am giving the dress 3 stars because the material is very, very thin. It is not the material that holds you in. I am so happy that I bought this dress on sale and did not pay full price for this dress. it is not worth the original $98 dollars that bebe is asking for.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sbrya28 from Great for women with a few curves! I purchased this in a Small. I thought at first I would have to get it in a Medium because of the stretchy material, but the Small worked as well. I have an ample chest and hips, but this dress only flattered those without too much emphasis. I also love the beautiful fall colors. It's a bit long on my 5'3" frame, so I'm having it hemmed. Other than that, the dress is near perfect! So can't wait to wear it to my trip to DC next week with some peep toe pumps and minimal jewelry.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LilDJ from Flattering I love this dress. It is very soft material and figure flattering. I got the small. Nice for work. Please make this style in more colors.

CASTINE, Maine – Justin Fuller (Berkley, Mass.) rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns to lead Bridgewater State University to a 27-0 win over Maine Maritime Academy in New England Football Conference (NEFC) Bogan Division action on Saturday.
The Bears (6-2, 4-2 Bogan) defense limited the Mariners (4-4, 2-4 Bogan) to 184 yards of offense in posting the first shutout of Maine Maritime since Coast Guard pulled the feat in a 3-0 win five years and one day ago.
The shutout was the Bears' school record-tying third this season and first over MMA since a 12-0 blanking in 1986. Bridgewater tied the school mark set in 1985 and equaled in 1988. The victory was Bridgewater's fourth in as many games.
Fuller reached the 2,000-career rushing yard plateau in the win and scored his 30th career touchdown. He now has 2,136 yards in his career.
Fuller got the Bears on the board late in the first quarter, breaking through on Bridgewater State's second possession for a 30-yard touchdown run. His first score finished off a drive that accounted for 87 of the Bears' 410 yards of offense on the afternoon.
Bridgewater State threatened late in the first half having gotten to first and goal on the three yardline with three seconds left in the second quarter. The Bears managed to get two plays off, but could not punch in. The teams went to the half with Bridgewater State holding a 7-0 lead, but the Mariners gave the Bears a gift early in the second half.
A fumbled exchange gave Bridgewater State the ball on Maine Maritime 30, while a personal foul on the play moved it up to the Mariners 15. Maine Maritime fumbled the ball seven times, losing it twice on Saturday. Fuller broke off 14 yards before being bumped out on the left sideline, and then finished the short drive with a one-yard plunge. A botched snap and hold led to a failed two-point attempt leaving the score at 3-0.
The Mariners were still in the game in the fourth quarter when they pieced together their second deepest foray into Bears' territory. A mishandled exchange left the ball on the Bears' 38-yardline where it was recovered by Bridgewater State. Maine Maritime had gotten as far as the Bridgewater State 27 on its second possession of the game, which ended with a Vincent Henry (Middleboro, Mass.) interception.
The teams traded punts before Bridgewater State's defense forced a turnover on downs at the MMA 41 with 4:53 remaining. Fuller broke through the right side of the Mariners defense and raced into the endzone 1:33 later, making it 20-7. On the next possession, Dillon Huber-Parker (Longmont, Colo.) intercepted a pass and went 32 yards into the end zone to make it the 27-0 final.
Maine Maritime Academy posted more passing yards than rushing yards in the game, gaining 98 yards through the air and 86 on the ground. Ben Violette (Waterville, Maine) completed 7-of-19 attempts for 98 yards.
In addition to his interception, Henry broke up a pass. Ryan Connolly (Norfolk, Mass.) broke up a pair of passes for Bridgewater State. Eddie Jewel (Amherst, Mass.) and Alex Monteiro (Portsmouth, R.I.) led all Bears tacklers with seven stops apiece. Jewel had five solo stops, while Monteiro recorded four.
Maine Maritime's linebacking corps did solid work with three players finishing in double-digits in tackles. Joel Chadbourne (Westbrook, Maine) posted a dozen stops including seven solo tackles. Brock Lawrence (Benton, Maine) had 11 tackles with four solo stops to his credit. Frank True's (Harpswell, Maine) 10 tackles included six solos and a sack.
Bridgewater shuffled between two quarterbacks, Mike McCarthy (Edgartown, Mass.) and Caleb Gelsomino (North Scituate, R.I.). McCarthy completed 6-of-10 passes for 72 yard, while rushing for 84 yards on 14 carries. Gelsomino went 4-of-7 for 72 yards. He threw an interception to Matthew Rende (Augusta, Maine), the Mariners' quarterback turned defensive back because of injury. Rende recorded six tackles.
The Bears return to action next week against Massachusetts Maritime Academy, while the Mariners will close out the regular season against the Coast Guard Academy at Ritchie Field.

In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly Arctic and Antarctic average sea ice extents for November 1978-December 2016. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets.

Rochester's Broad Street Aqueduct
By Jim Durfee
This article first appeared in the Rochester Business Journal
Rochester Business Journal
March 16, 2012
"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans. ..."
Daniel Burnham, architect of the Chicago World's Fair and Columbian Exposition, to whom the above quote is attributed, would have agreed that the Erie Canal Historic District master plan, which proposes to bring the Erie Canal back through the center city, is no little plan.
Some time ago I was reminded of Burnham's admonition in a blogger's response on a local website. The comment referred to a City Council presentation outlining the remarkable and visionary proposal, which would shut down a section of Broad Street to vehicular traffic and re-establish boat traffic crossing the Genesee River on the 1842 aqueduct.
The underlying premise was, to many, audacious. The rewatered aqueduct was to be part of a $66 million public infrastructure and streetscape program, including a boulevard of fountains and reflecting pools along a redesigned West Broad Street. Originally the vision of Tom Grasso, president of the Erie Canal Historical Society, and a few other passionate advocates, the program imagined the complete transformation of an undervalued sector of the city. The plan would, in a very specific and compelling way, turn back the hands of time to a bygone era that defined Rochester.
The concept quickly captivated the Rochester community, and the city responded by engaging planning professionals to study the idea's potential. The goal was to formulate a plan that might duplicate success stories in cities like Providence and San Antonio. The plan that resulted was intended to be both compelling and achievable. It linked together revitalization projects involving underused historic structures such as old City Hall and the iconic Times Square building. The canal was to be re-established in certain parts of the newly designated district and reinterpreted in others.
The public part of the investment would provide the necessary thematic improvements linking 14 private projects. This private investment would establish the Canal District as a unique urban neighborhood for both residents and visitors. The city's consultants estimated that the project would stimulate an estimated $220 million in private development. Some 1,600 construction jobs would be created and annual real estate taxes generated by development investment in the Canal District would total $4.1 million.
The plan was unveiled in 2009 to wide acclaim. Rochester Magazine named it "Best idea of 2010." Mark Liu, editor of the magazine, wrote, "Of all the 'bests' around, it could be the most significant." Then mayor Robert Duffy praised the Broad Street project as "transformative," saying that it had the ability to jump-start development west of the Genesee.
The concept gathered momentum, and expectations for its implementation soared. Soon after the plan was published, the city hosted the World Canal Conference. The "Dinner in the Ditch" that took place in the abandoned aqueduct was, by most accounts, the event of the year, gathering enthusiastic reviews for its uniqueness as a community gathering space.
Unfortunately, since that time, events have conspired to take the idea so far off the radar screen that it now is seldom discussed. So what caused this ebbing away of commitment from such a promising endeavor? There are obvious answers: the virtual insolvency of the city's finances, the need to focus public investment in very discrete ways, a national economy that has been in recession. Still, it would be more than disappointing to lose sight of what this could mean for the city's longer-term prospects.
As it became apparent that other priorities were outcompeting the initiative for attention, an ad hoc committee was formed to discuss how the Canal District plan might be supported. The group-consisting of property owners, developers, real estate brokers, planners, economic development professionals and canal advocates-continues to discuss how best to support the plan.
Recent reinvestment in this district already has improved the chances for more rapid economic results. Nothnagle Realtors' establishment of its central headquarters at the intersection of Broad and Main streets could help anchor the western end of a new Erie Canal corridor. That project alone has created 200 construction jobs, and 100 workers now occupy the building.
Significant questions remain. To what extent will the rewatering be completely authentic? Some argue that authenticity is vital to the achievement of ultimate value and success. Others are concerned that some compromises are probably necessary and prudent to meet modern requirements. The current plan developed by TY Lin International, along with its urban planning consultant, Cooper Carry, is intended to achieve early success while preserving the option of full authenticity. It is a blueprint for phased work, and it is entirely possible that the first phase will be so dynamic that decisions about future phases will be obvious.
One could argue that Rochester has no feature more character-defining than its Erie Canal history. In the mid-1800s, the spectacle of water traffic crossing the Genesee River in the center of the city drew tourists from far and wide. The aqueduct was an awe-inspiring site, combining engineering and architecture in a structure that overcame and channeled natural forces. It can once again become an awe-inspiring community treasure if there is the will to make it happen.
So is this "big plan" worthy of our continued consideration? I believe the answer should be yes. We need transformative projects that are compelling to the next generation. This plan represents a chance to bolster our reputation for innovation and creativity. It has tangible prospects to draw substantial real estate investment to a part of the city that is languishing, and it proposes to capitalize on the past in creating something new and exciting.
If a way can be found to accomplish this, the public spaces and streetscapes that result will be uniquely Rochester and very cool.

Get their mojo back.
Despite all the rave reviews in the inkies, I'm not the only one who thought the Harrow & the Harvest was a lifeless husk of an album. (And I say that as a big, big fan of the pair.)

"Female Force" has been embraced by the media and featured on several television news outlets including The Today Show and on CNN. The series has also been featured in many publications such as USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Time magazine, and People magazine. Future titles will feature the Queen of England, Mary Pickford & Elizabeth Taylor.

The permanent art displays in Willard Library have stories of their own to tell. Click on the pieces below to learn more about them.
The Adele and Paul Torian Native American Leaders of the Mid-19th Century Exhibit features three volumes of Thomas L. McKenney's History of the Indian Tribes of North America. With portraits and biographies of the great Native American chiefs of the 1800s, the series is considered one of the most important historical records of Native American life. The volumes were a gift to Willard Library from Adele and Paul Torian.
These four portraits are attributed to artist James Thomas Poindexter.
The subjects are library founder Willard Carpenter; his wife, Lucina Burcalow Carpenter; one of his daughters, Marcia Carpenter Keller; and his son-in-law, DeWitt C. Keller.
It is believed that Georgia Carpenter donated the portraits of her great-grandparents, Willard and Lucina Carpenter, which were brought directly from the Carpenter home. The portraits of Marcia and DeWitt Keller were donated by their daughter, Mary Marcia Louise Keller Markell.
The painting of Colonel Charles Denby is signed "Prince," but is attributed to Evansville artist Fannie K. Pattison. The discrepancy leaves some doubt as to the true identity of the painter; it is possible that Pattison did not paint the portrait but, rather, acquired it. Pattison donated it to the library as the beginning of an Evansville Hall of Fame.
Fred C. Eilers painted the portrait of this library benefactor from photographs showing her at about age 70. Bessie Hornbrook Thrall was 96 and living in California at the time the Willard Library trustees commissioned the painting, which was ordered in appreciation of her donation of many art books to the library. Thrall died in 1973 at age 101.

Earth Day 2012 is this Sunday, April 22nd and presents a fantastic opportunity to educate our kids on the environment and the importance of taking care of it. In an ideal world, we are all avid recyclers, energy conservationists and eco-friendly citizens, but sometimes it takes an event like this to remind us that we can do more.
Here are a few Earth Day-related apps to help get kids involved:
Works on: iOS devices
Cost: $0.99
This app will appeal to toddlers who get to follow a recycling truck around as it makes its pick-ups around town. Kids can interact directly with the screen with little taps to make the automatic arm come out of the truck, the driver honk his horn and so on. It's very simple, but little ones who like watching trucks (most do!) will enjoy this interactive app.
Works on: iOS devices
Cost: FREE
The Greens are a family with a goal of teaching kids about smart environmental choices. This app is a complement to the WGBH Public Television website that features animated episodes of the Greens, as well as family games and activities. Light it Right players accumulate points as they move through the house and turn lights on or off depending on who is in the room. Do you leave the light on when the cat is in the room? Play and see.
The Four Seasons – An Earth Day Interactive Children's Storybook
Works on: iOS devices
Cost: FREE
This has already been featured on Screen Play as a great Earth Day app, but I wanted to call attention to it again because it's fun for Earth Day – and it's free (but there are ads)! The app features an interactive story about the four seasons where kids can help trees grow, pick up litter, rake leaves and more. And it also comes with a "Happy Earth Day" song that kids will enjoy singing along to.
If you have an app that you'd like considered for Screen Play, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jackie Chan returns to his adventuring Indiana Jones-esque Asian Hawk character with this rollicking action-adventure yarn. In this go-around, Jackie (aka the Asian Hawk) is looking for 240 tons of gold stolen by the Nazis and buried beneath the Sahara. Along the way, he teams up with a stuck-up archeologist named Ada (Carol Cheng), a Japanese tourist named Momoko (Shoko Ikeda), and Elsa (Eva Cobo De Garcia), the granddaughter of the Nazi captain who originally hid the booty. Opposing them is various groups of blackguards and mercenaries along with Adolf (Aldo Sanbrell) -- the last surviving soldier from the original company -- who is hell-bent on getting the gold himself. Soon, two of Jackie's companions find themselves sold into slavery while Jackie battles the baddies in a massive WWII-era wind tunnel. This film ran 100 percent over Chan's already lavish -- by Hong Kong standards -- budget, making it one of the most expensive films that industry has ever produced.~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
Director: Jackie Chan
Cast: Jackie Chan, Do Do Chang, Eva Cobo, Shogo Ikeda and Aldo Sanchez

Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold
Embattled Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold spoke about his fondest Ravens memory during a break in his criminal misconduct trial. The Philadelphia native, a regular participant in the annual Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge at Sandy Point State Park, smiled as he remembered talking Philly sports one year with Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. "He's from New Jersey, so he grew up with the Eagles," Leopold said. "I still follow all those teams Eagles, Phillies, Flyers. But I root for the Ravens, too."

"ACTA is effectively dead, the European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda admitted Friday. An official spokesman said the 'political reality' was the fight was over. Neelie Kroes, speaking at a conference in Berlin, told delegates: 'We have recently seen how many thousands of people are willing to protest against rules which they see as constraining the openness and innovation of the Internet. This is a strong new political voice. And as a force for openness, I welcome it, even if I do not always agree with everything it says on every subject. 'We are now likely to be in a world without SOPA and without ACTA.'" That's how we roll, web.

Rock icon Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, have listed their two condominiums in West Hollywood for sale, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
The smaller of the two, with one bedroom, 11/2 bathrooms and 1,151 square feet of living space, is priced at $1.6 million. The larger, with the same number of bedrooms and baths in 1,831 square feet, is listed at $3.5 million.
The Sierra Towers units, which have city and ocean views, could be combined. The building has 24-hour security, a doorman, an outdoor pool and a gym.
The pair recently bought a contemporary house in Beverly Hills that had been listed at $7.695 million but was withdrawn from the market before closing. It can be weeks or months before a sales price appears on the public record.
The remodeled house includes four bedrooms, 51/2 bathrooms and more than 4,200 square feet of interior space. The nearly half-acre site features a swimming pool, lawn, a cabana and patios.
John, 65, has won multiple Grammy Awards. He shares an Oscar for "The Lion King" song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and won a Grammy for singing it. Among the singer-songwriter-composer's hits are "Candle in the Wind," "Your Song" and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting."
Furnish, 49, directed "Elton John: Tantrums & Tiaras" (1997). He was an announcer and executive producer of the television series "Spectacle: Elvis Costello With …" (2008-11).
Andrew Clark and Barry Peele of Sotheby's in Beverly Hills are the listing agents for the condominiums. Jade Mills was the listing agent on the Beverly Hills house.
'Lost' star can be found in Oregon
"Lost" star Matthew Fox has listed his crash pad in Manhattan Beach for sale at $1.995 million.

The nearly 2,500-square-foot house includes a large family room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are ocean views from the upper-level rooms and balcony.
Fox, 45, played hero Jack Shephard on "Lost" (2004-10). This year he will star in the thriller "Alex Cross." Fox also will star in the historic epic "Emperor," in which Tommy Lee Jones will play Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Public records show he bought the property in 1999 for $880,000. Fox used the house as his personal residence until moving to Hawaii while filming the television series. He has since relocated to the Bend, Ore., area.
Jonathan Coleman of Real Estate West is the listing agent.

'Ninja Turtles' co-creator comes out of shell
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" co-creator Kevin Eastman has listed a house in West Los Angeles for $1.69 million.
The contemporary Mediterranean, built in 2005, features high ceilings, archways, a bar with a wine refrigerator, four bedrooms and 21/2 bathrooms. French doors open to an enclosed front patio, a front-facing balcony and the backyard. Behind the house sits a saltwater pool, a flagstone deck, a pool house/office and lawn. The cobblestone driveway is gated.
The comic book writer and artist's Ninja Turtles, created with collaborator Peter Laird, became a cartoon series starting in the late 1980s. Live-action movies and animated films followed, including "TMNT" (2007) and "Turtles Forever" (2009). Another series is set for this year and a movie in 2013.
Eastman, 49, bought the property in 2008 for $1.84 million, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Chad Lund of Teles Properties is the listing agent.

No one ever believes football coaches who say they're quitting to spend more time with their family. I think coaches believe this only at the moment they're quitting. Then three days pass by and they're stuck at home bored to death and realize they don't like their family all that much. I'd be much more inclined to believe a coach if he said, "I'm quitting this place and spending the rest of my life drinking and boating, Jimmy Johnson style." That I would get on board with. Otherwise, your average football coach makes Brett Favre look downright decisive, especially Meyer, who tried this thing once already and lasted a grand total of four seconds.
Anyway, one thing I do believe about Meyer is that he won't be back in football in 2011. He'll take that year, maybe do some TV, and laugh it up with Mark May on an ESPN set until he secretly wants to punch May in the face. We've all been there. But once he's had enough rest and his head stops exploding in pain every week or so, he's going right back into football. Oh, you think it's not true Urban, but it is. YOU'LL BE BACK. THEY ALL COME CRAWLING BACK.
The question is, once Meyer decides to come back, where will he go? Well, there's no point in going back to college ball, seeing as he already conquered that particular summit. No, Meyer is gonna wind up coaching on Sundays. Now, people immediately linked Meyer to the open Denver job once he quit, seeing as how his precious Tim Tebow is there waiting for him with open arms. But that idea has already been shot down in numerous places. To figure out where Meyer might go in 2012, we need to look beyond this year's NFL turnover and project the NEXT year of firings and resignations. With that in mind, I think you could find Meyer in one of the following places:
New England: Meyer and Bill Belichick have been tight for ages, and if Belichick ever wants to leave football for good to spend more time dating married women, then I bet Meyer would be among those he'd potentially handpick to succeed him.
Cleveland: Meyer is an Ohio native, so going to the Browns would represent a homecoming of sorts. Also, Eric Mangini is probably getting one more year from Mike Holmgren. But that year is gonna come with a demand for significant improvement, and not just this year's moral victory parade.
Green Bay: Let's say Mike McCarthy again fails to get over the hump with this squad for the next two years. Is Ted Thompson gonna tolerate that, or will he turn his gifted young QB over a man with the ambition to push him even further?
Buffalo: Just kidding. No one important goes to Buffalo.
Detroit: Say, isn't getting about the time for them to go firing their coach again?
Jacksonville: It's close to Gainesville, until the team moves to Los Angeles.
Washington: Tell me Dan Snyder hasn't at least considered inviting Meyer to an overly expensive dinner.
San Diego/Houston: Only if these teams decide to not fire their respective head coaches after this season. And really, they SHOULD fire them. Like today. Today would be good.
Miami: Again, close to Gainesville. And what Ohio native doesn't like ditching it for South Beach these days?
Chicago: If only for the comedy of seeing him go head to head with Jay Sulkyface.
New York Giants: Because Eli Manning was born to be a triple option quarterback.
So you see, there will be no shortage of options for Coach Meyer in 2012, should he choose to make his return to football. And he will. After all, there are only so many tandem bike rides you can go on with your old lady.

We shouldn't have even met online through match. I was hesitant to try an online dating site, but a friend convinced me to put up a profile. After many emails and winks, I finally received an email from someone that really caught my eye. He had a great sense of humor and seemed extremely genuine. He didn't show up in any of my match picks, but that was because his age was one year older than my range that I had picked. He happened to notice my picture in the "New to Match" section.
We went on several dates and really had an awesome connection. He was witty, compassionate and really fun to be around. We have been together a year now and have moved in together. We both had children from previous marriages and I must say that they have blended really well. None of this ever would have happened if I had not signed up for an account. Ron is everything I have ever wanted and every day is a gift from God. We always laugh when we see the Match.com commercials because we know that we never would have found each other if it hadn't been for the website. We always say that we will tell everyone they should give it a shot.
We are looking forward to a very long and happy life together and love that our children love each other as well. Match.com helped us become the family we always wanted and we are so grateful for that.

Ootake is a PC Engine emulator for Windows. Ootake is the most frequently updated PC Engine emulator available for windows, and Ootake is also one of the more complete. Also, Ootake is FREE unlike Magic Engine.
Ootake v2.86 changelog:
For: Windows- "Configure Open Button" was added to "Input-> Configure" menu. You can
change the shortcut key for opening the game file ([O] key and [P] key) to
any key.
- "Configure" was added to the top of the "Input" menu, and the menu was
tidied up. * However, this is still complicated. Although it may become
next year, I will make a special form for controller setting.
- "Adjust Old CD-ROM2 Speed (Super Darius)" added to "Setting-> Improve"
menu. When this is checked, in "Super Darius", at the game start and the
boss appearance etc., the CD access time is adjusted to the wait time
equivalent to that of the first (old white machine) CD-ROM2 System. When
this check is removed, the wait time will be as short as PC Engine Duo (
- When a game for ARCADE Card is played, if Resume-Mode ("File-> Set Resume"
menu) is set, if "CD-ROM-> Play with Non ARCADE Card" menu is executed,
the bug that the game stopped (occurred from v2.85) was fixed.
* I think that this is a rare case, but if this trouble makes it
impossible to continue the game, please play the continuation from state
save data. Or, please reset using [F1] key, load from backup RAM (save
data in the game) and continue the game.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
+ Thank you very much for your reporting and encouragement. In this version,
there are few changes and the source change is slight. For a while (at
least for the Japanese autumn horse racing season), I will take a break.
I am pleased if this v2.86 becomes a stable version. But, if urgent
trouble or things worked on the previous version did not work, I will fix
it soon and update it.
+ I began Twitter. (Japanese language & a little English language)
* The happiness of the game is the world human race commonness. It longs for
* I think that it cannot do improvement & correction of the above-mentioned
if there are many neither operation report nor defect report. Thank you
really for you who reported.

I think deep down in each of us there's a little piece of our heart that wants to get married in Napa. Especially if Beaulieu Gardens is a part of that pretty picture. Case in point? This classically elegant day planned by Bustle Events. From the all-white bridesmaids surrounding their laced-beauty Bride to dinner scenes that'll have you speechless, Jessica Burke has crafted the dreamiest wedding story to fill The Vault. See more here!
From Erin of Bustle Events... When first meeting with Lena and Will I quickly learned that they wanted an elegant classic and timeless wedding. Lena loved soft blush, creams, whites and gold accents. The venue is the perfect setting for a Classic Napa Valley wedding and we decided to play off the natural beauty around the venue. The floral was lush and full with lots of soft pinks and creams. Some of the tables have low full greenery garlands dotted with small accent vases holding single blooms. The other tables had beautiful glass footed vases with overflowing muted color floral. We tied each napkin with hand died silk ribbon and a sprig of greens.
Guests dined on a lovely mea by Paula Le Duc Fine Catering with a salad made with tomatoes for the estates heirloom tomatoes. After dinner and desert the dance floor was packed with people dancing to the live band all night long.

text: Hi, I was looking to upgrade my phone before I travel to England. I was looking at getting a global phone. Currently, I have a droid 2 and would like to have a similar phone. At the Verizon store (both online and in store), they do not list the Droid 4 as a global phone. However, on the Motorola website, they do list the droid 4 as "global ready." The only phones that verizon said were "global ready" were the droid razr, droid razr max, and iphone 4s. At the moment, I am leaning towards trying out the iphone 4s. I keep finding conflicting information on using a droid 4 globally. Is the phone locked? Is there anything I would need to do with Verizon before I can use the droid 4 on a UK local carrier?

Netflix's new subscribers to pay higher rates
Netflix will raise monthly subscription rates by $1 or $2 for new subscribers to help beef up its selection of shows like "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black," the company said Monday.
The last time Netflix changed prices in 2010, the Los Gatos company stumbled badly, prompting angry subscribers to bolt and wary investors to send its stock into a months-long tailspin.
This time, CEO Reed Hastings is trying to soften the landing. In a letter to investors issued with Netflix's quarterly earnings report, Hastings said the company would raise fees later this quarter for new subscribers, but keep existing U.S. subscribers "grandfathered in" at current levels, which start at $7.99 per month.
However, in the letter, Netflix would only guarantee that existing subscriber rate for an unspecified "generous time period." In an earnings interview broadcast on YouTube, Hastings said the grandfathering time might be one or two years.
"If we want to continue to expand, to do more great original content, more series, more movies, we have to eventually increase prices a little bit," Hastings said.
"We're not doing much, we're doing a dollar or two depending on the country, all existing subscribers keep their current price, they don't get an increase," he said.
Hastings said the company is considering ways to expand its current pricing tiers, which currently rise to $11.99 per month, to allow subscribers to watch as many as four streaming shows on multiple devices. One option could be to charge different rates for standard and high-definition streams, Hastings said.
Netflix raised fees for new members in Ireland in January from the equivalent of $9.65 to $11 and "as expected we saw limited impact," Hastings said in the letter to investors.
The price increase could stop binge-watchers from treating Netflix like a video rental store, as anyone who signed up and canceled would face the higher monthly fee when their show returns for a new season. But Hastings said with increases of a "dollar or two, I don't think that's a huge difference."
For now, he said, "we want to get this done well, we want to make sure we get this grandfathered cleanly."
Netflix posted higher first-quarter net income of $53.1 million on revenue of $1.28 billion, compared with a net loss of $1.8 million on revenue of $1 billion in the same quarter a year ago.
The second season of the award-winning series "House of Cards," which debuted in February, helped increase the total of streaming service subscribers to 48.4 million, including 35.7 million in the U.S. and 12.7 million in other countries.
But the costs of expansion in Europe "will keep our expanded international segment at a net loss," Hastings said. "We intend to continue our international expansion over the coming years, so our near-term profits will be quite modest as we invest in this large global community."
Netflix also forecast overall subscriber growth would tail off considerably due to a normal second-quarter slowdown. Netflix projected it would add only 1.46 million members this quarter, compared with the 1.24 million added during the previous second quarter.
Netflix is one of the momentum stocks that slumped during a widespread tech stock sell-off on Wall Street since early March.
It peaked at an all-time high of $454.98 on March 4 before falling to $326.27 last week. The stock closed at $348.49 Monday, up $2.75 per share, before Netflix released earnings after the close of trading. In after-hours trading, Netflix surged more than 6 percent to over $370 per share.
The earnings report is the company's first since cutting a deal with Comcast to guarantee the cable giant would provide fast and reliable access to its streaming content.
"In the short term, we felt like we had no choice," Hastings said.
Still, Hastings said Netflix opposes Comcast's proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable because the combined company would have big a slice of the broadband market.

#1 McCains Dig at Obama Greeted With Standing Ovation at AIPAC Conference

Washington Senator John McCain delivered some harsh criticism of Senator Barack Obamas foreign policy at the opening session of the American Israel Public Affairs Committees annual conference Monday. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee told the crowd at the annual policy conference of the pro-Israel lobbying powerhouse that his Democratic rivals talk of negotiating with Iran would lead to no results except an earful of antisemitic rants
The Arizona senator received a standing ovation when he blasted Obama for not supporting a Senate resolution demanding the designation of Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terror group. At the time of that vote, Obama said he believed that the resolution, with its talk of structuring the American military presence in Iraq so as to combat Iranian influence there, would send the wrong message, not only to the world but also to the region, where we should be pursuing direct diplomacy.
But here, too, he is mistaken, McCain told the 7,000 attendees at the Aipac conference. Holding Irans influence in check, and holding a terrorist organization accountable, sends exactly the right message to Iran, to the region and to the world

Hi people, I dont really know much about GPU. I have been building my first rig in an effort to learn about all this stuff. Anyway the rig is nearly complete. The final compnent was the GPU which was delivered a couple days ago but they sent me thw wrong one. The one I ordered was built by AMD I think (the red one) but the one they delivered was built by Sapphire (the black one). I am wondering i should just keep the black one to save me the hassle of sending stuff back and waiting for redelivery since they both cost nearly the same? They seem to be identical in spec except the Sapphire one has a core clock speed of 810 while the red one has a core clock of 850. I have to admit the red one look much nicer. I have provided links to both below so u can check out details on specs at the store where I made the purchase. What do you reckon; keep sapphire or send it back?

Re: Is it all just down to Core Clock Speed?
Same card with better cooling. Sapphire is a partner that sells their own variations of the AMD card you thought you ordered. They use the same hardware and drivers so no worries.
Re: Is it all just down to Core Clock Speed?
I would keep the Sapphire. As Major wrote: the cooling is better and quieter, so you would be better off by keeping the black card. You can allways OC the card and since the cooling is better, your OC could be higher than with the stock cooling.
