Fed Sends Market Mixed Messages

The Natuwa Sanctuary at El Manantial is a Costa Rican wildlife conservation charity working to save and protect endangered species from extinction, headquartered in Aranjuez de Puntarenas.
Natuwa works with some of the most endangered native birds of Costa Rica, focusing on the rarest species and the most fragile habitats. The main focus of the project is the Scarlet Macaw (Ara Macao) and the Great Green Macaw (Ara Ambigua), who once flew freely in many areas of Costa Rica.
At the Sanctuary, Great Green macaws and Scarlet macaws are not bred for the pet trade. They are strictly bred in order to release their young into the wild to be set free forever. In the sanctuary the birds fly unrestricted, enjoying the trees and the fruits they can find around this habitat. The local people from the village of Aranjuez care for and watch over the wild macaws.
In November 2014 three jaguar cubs were brought to the NATUWA Sanctuary, just a few days old. The Costa Rican government rescued them and brought them to NATUWA to be taken care of because they were orphaned. The three jaguar cubs Onka, Baguira, and Dinamú were able to survive thanks to the care they received at NATUWA. They did not have the opportunity to learn survival skills from their mother such as how to hunt and how to mark territory. They have been raised surrounded by humans and this leaves them vulnerable and unable to survive in the wild. They have no other option and must stay in captivity.
These felines will be Ambassadors for an environmental education program that involves schools and the general public. The main objective is to generate information so that visitors understand the vital role that animals play in the forest ecosystem.

I am writing this letter to encourage residents of the Sunnyside School District to vote for Steve Winfree for school board position #3.
We are fortunate to have someone of Steve's character, education and business experience who is willing to take the time and effort to serve on the school board.
I have practiced law with Steve for over 30 years and I have witnessed his dedication to the community of Sunnyside and support of the Sunnyside School District. Steve believes that it is critical to provide a quality education for the students of Sunnyside, and he has worked tirelessly over the years in volunteer positions to provide his support to Sunnyside schools.
Steve's qualifications are excellent. One of Steve's many strengths is his ability to assess situations and work with others in a fair, reasonable and compromising manner to obtain the best result for all interested parties. Steve's background and business experience will greatly benefit the Sunnyside School District.
Please consider casting your vote for Steve for Sunnyside School Board, position #3.
/s/ Paul Hart, Sunnyside

Getting started!
By Elizabeth Rogers
They're the places we eat, sleep, work, relax, play and do just about everything else — but after a long winter our homes can feel more like dungeons than sanctuaries. Outside, nature is cleaning up its act and renewing the environment; and indoors, many of us are doing the same. It's the season to amend our untidy habits.
Why bother? There's something to be said for having your home in order. If an environment looks like a disaster area, it can cause stress-related problems for the people living there. Worse yet, these problems don't get left on the doorstep — they often follow family members to school and work.
On the flip side, a clean, organized living space offers many rewards. It's a joy to come home to, and it also makes the day-to-day business of life much easier. It provides a sense of well being and boosts confidence.
"If you have a clean house, you have a clean life," says lifestyle expert Mike Chalut. "Everything starts at home. When your house is clean and organized, you're ready to take on the outside world."
And he would know: as co-host of Kim's Rude Awakenings, he has helped reform messy and cluttered homes — and the families living in them — and has seen how these organizational makeovers improve quality of life. Cleaning house, though it seems like an unpleasant task, does wonders for boosting the spirit.
It's not surprising then that spring cleaning can wash away those winter blues. To help you get started, Chalut offers these tips.

After breast cancer surgery, our Lymphedema Management Program may help prevent lymphedema and, if it occurs, help you proactively manage, and potentially reverse, the condition.
Helping to prevent lymphedema:
Helping to manage the swelling associated with lymphedema:
Helping to reverse lymphedema through surgical treatment options:
In addition, your care team offers various other integrative oncology services to help you feel better as you heal. Your pain management practitioner may recommend pain control, including suggestions for medications to help reduce inflammation, prevent blood clots and treat infections. Your mind-body therapist may help you cope with the emotional impact of lymphedema by providing counseling and support groups.
Lymphedema is a condition in which fluid (lymph) is retained in the tissue and causes swelling (edema), often in the arms or legs. The swelling occurs when a blockage in the lymphatic system prevents the fluid from draining adequately.
Lymphedema is often classified as primary or secondary. Primary lymphedema can develop when lymphatic vessels are missing or impaired, and is a hereditary condition. Secondary lymphedema can occur when lymph nodes or vessels are removed or damaged, which may develop as an unwanted side-effect of surgery (e.g., node dissection) or radiation treatment.

Michelle Obama to appear on 'Steve Harvey' show
CHICAGO (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama will appear on Steve Harvey's new daytime talk show.
"Steve Harvey" is taped before a live audience at NBC's studios in Obama's hometown of Chicago. The show's producers say the first lady will tape her appearance on Thursday. It's scheduled for broadcast on Oct. 3.
The 55-year-old veteran comic's talk show debuted earlier this month. Harvey said in a statement that he's honored to have Mrs. Obama as a guest.
The first lady's appearance on Harvey's show will be her latest on the daytime talk-show circuit as the presidential election enters its final weeks.
Earlier this week, Mrs. Obama joined her husband, President Barack Obama, for a pre-taped, joint interview on ABC's "The View."

Hold on to your security blanket, people, because Google is rolling out a pretty big change to its search engine. Not too long ago the internet was in a shock because Google rolled out a new feature that allowed you to pick a background image for the Google home page, just like Microsoft's Bing. Google went a lot further today, and has launched Google Instant, adding search-before-you-type results to the Google home page.

How did you get cast as the Host for the Amazing Race Israel (HaMerotz LaMillion)?I was already working as a lawyer in a big law firm when my mobile phone rang
. Without a lot of expectations, I tried my luck in a casting and then I was invited for yet another one, and so on. Finally, the Israeli producers were convinced but Disney had to approve it, and when they did I was really thrilled! I didnt have my gut feeling on this one it was too good to be true and everyone was competing for this job.
We read in the Israeli newspaper The Haaretz that the Finale of Amazing Race Israel (HaMerotz LaMillion) has not yet been filmed? When do you all plan to film the Finale episode?Thats a top secret! All the info regarding the finale is confidential! But its true that the winner wasnt declared.Why did you all decide to postpone filming the Finale of HaMerotz LaMillion?Since Israel is such a small country of only 7 million and people have a tendency to talk too much and everybody knows everybody, it was a high risk that the production didnt want to take. Nobody likes spoilers
We had to make sure that the tension will rise and climb to its peak at the Finale.

Football – The passion that the Florentine people have for the Fiorentina football team cannot be expressed by words. Every Sunday at the Artemio Francs football stadium there is a feast of emotions, choreography, choirs and goals (hopefully!). If you are a football fan you can't absolutely miss the warmth of this show.
Marathon of Florence – In November, centuries of history, art and culture accompany thousands of professionals and enthusiasts who reach Florence from around the world to run the 42 kilometers. Together with the marathon of Rome, the marathon of Florence has now become the most important in Italy.
In Tuscany, sport and ancient feudal wars merge to create one of the unique events in the world, as football in medieval costumes and the Palio di Siena.
Calcio in Costume (Football in medieval costumes) – For over 600 years, in the month of June, the beautiful scenery of Piazza Santa Croce, turns into a sandy battle field in 4 historical districts of Florence. The prize is a calf. Calcio in Costume recalls rugby and American football, with the difference that practically there are no rules: fists, punches and kicks are allowed when taking possession of the ball and invading the opponents area.
Palio di Siena – 60 km from Florence, on the 2 July and 16 August the most famous palio in Italy, is a horse race held twice each year on July 2 and August 16 in Siena, in which the horse and rider represent one of the seventeen Contrade, or city wards. A magnificent pageant precedes the race, attracting visitors and spectators from around the world.

Build a shopify store - the back end and front end.
Presupuesto £20-250 GBP
We have a current business selling international groceries from our own supermarkets in the uk and also to the trade. We currently have a very bad website that does not work because it can't be accessed on smart devices and the back office is not very good!
We use the 'Swords' software which is provided by Sanderson. All sales, purchasing and stock is controlled by this software. I would like to be able to get information out of Swords and upload to Shopify to minimise the time required to keep the website updated. I would like this as automated as possible.
Information needed for our shop online site would include, product code, description, unit, selling price (including vat if applicable), stock at a specific site, product group and sub-group, country of origin, also if possible certain product groups e.g. frozen only available to delivery in specific regions e.g. frozen.
Customers could shop by product group and sub group, country of origin, also by recipe - i.e. I would put like to put up a recipe for black bean sauce - and they can add all the ingredients that are shown besides the recipe into the basket.
I would like to offer student discount if possible too.
I would like to have an over 18 message for alcoholic beverages
I would like to be able to run promotions, e.g.
1) Buy 1 & get 1 Free, etc
2) 5% off all rice products
3) Voucher codes for first, second time users
4) Timed promotions - e.g. until midnight tonight all drinks have 10% off
5) Meal deals - e.g. buy any one of these 5 & any one of these 2 - get it for just £2.50
If possible I would like to be able to have text in various languages, e.g English, Chinese and Thai.
I would also like a report of missing images so that in the future we know what needs updating.
I would like to control new products before uploading to the website - i.e. they need approving before automatically updating.
I would like stock reports - more as a check to see if it correct when compared to Swords.
I would like sales information, i.e. by region, product, customer etc.
To be honest this is a very basic brief of what I am looking for.
I would like someone to set this all up for me & leave the project for us to maintain.
I have put up the basic budget because to be honest I'm not sure how much needs to be budgeted for this work & I would prefer feedback on this.

Next Meetup
What we're about
If you are a vegan, it can be tough to meet people who are like minded. Throw an LGBT+ tag into the mix and it can be downright impossible at times.
This group exists as a hub for creating fun, inclusive and safe events for people who identify as vegan and LGBT+, their friends and supporters.
If you live in London or just pass through occasionally, we want you to be a part of our growing community. Come along to a meetup event, make new friends and feel nothing but glory about who you are!
We are an inclusive group and as such we welcome everyone, regardless of gender, race, skin colour, nationality, sexuality, age, appearance, disability, socio-economic situation, etc. We do not tolerate any form of hate or abuse at our events, on our meetup group, or on any other social media we may use. Any members who are abusive, aggressive, bullying, harassing, hateful, bigoted, sexist, racist, ageist, fascistic, or intolerant will be removed from the group.
Your ideas for events are more than welcome.
Even though you don't need to identify as vegan to be part of this group, we ask everyone to respect that we are meeting as vegans. We ask you to only order vegan food when we are in a venue with non-vegan options. Thanks!

30 Days of Night: Blood Trails (UK - DVD R2)
Our Scott McKenzie takes a look at the DVD release of this prequel web serial
George is a junkie, living in New Orleans and surviving by supplying information for a mysterious vampire hunter called Judith. As he sets out on his last job before he and his girlfriend leave town, his contacts start to turn up dead. He realises that the vampires are hot on his tail and something big is going to happen soon. Can he survive the vampires that are out to get him and get the details of an imminent attack to the right people before it's too late?
Blood Trails first appeared online as a set of short web episodes in the run-up to the release of 30 Days of Night. Cobbled together here as a feature, we get a cliff-hanger every three or four minutes but unfortunately it hasn't been edited at all so we still get the preview of the next episode just seconds before it begins. Without these extra clips, the whole thing probably would have been about half the length and even less desirable to potential customers. It's worth noting that the running time according to the note on the case is thirty-nine minutes but this also includes the making of. In reality, Blood Trails clocks in at about twenty-seven minutes.
What Blood Trails has going for it is the efficiency of storytelling that is required to draw the viewer into a story for just a few minutes then give them a reason to come back for more. Dialogue is limited, which is probably a good reason given the amateur-grade performances, and each episode contains some kind of action. However, this also means that some gratuitous nudity has to be thrown in early on to keep the target audience of teenage boys watching and some of the cliff-hangers are pretty silly.
There are also issues with the timing of people turning into vampires, which seems to change according to the needs of the filmmakers, and some of the contrivances to keep the action moving along will have you shaking your head. For example, the gratuitous nudity is followed up by the girl in question putting some headphones on for seemingly no other reason than allowing a vampire to kill her boyfriend without her finding out. As a reference piece for amateur filmmakers who are looking to use the internet to market their work it might be worth a watch, but I think Joe Public will quickly tire of it, no matter how quickly the whole thing is over.
Blood Trails is presented in 1.78:1 and it's clear that it was filmed with the intention of being shown on the internet. Close-up shots play a major part in the framing, partly to give the characters the focus they need in very little screen time but mostly because on the naturally smaller computer screen the backgrounds will be more surplus to requirements. As a result, the picture is generally lower in detail than most major feature releases. The handheld camera work and lighting give Blood Trails an amateur feel but those expecting a cinematic experience from a series of web clips need to re-evaluate their expectations.
The feature only comes with a Stereo audio track so this is another aspect where the audience's expectations need to be adjusted accordingly. I have no major complaints about the quality of what is on offer here. Dialogue and effects are all pitched at the right level but there's certainly nothing coming through the speakers that will blast you back into your sofa. However, one plus point is that music plays almost all the way throughout Blood Trails, which goes some way to drawing the viewer into the story.
The disc opens with a trailer for 30 Days of Night, which the DVD producers probably consider the most critical piece of content on this disc. We also get a behind the scenes featurette that was originally shown on Fear.net, as we keep being reminded. It's separated into five parts, all just a few minutes long. We get behind the scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew, with the most interesting points coming from Steve Niles, the writer of the original graphic novel. The uninitiated will be interested to find out that some of the characters appeared in a few frames of the graphic novel. Well, maybe not that interested now that I've told you.
30 Days of Night: Blood Trails is passable while it lasts, but since its main purpose of drumming up interest in 30 Days of Night has been and gone, it's fairly superfluous now that the infinitely superior movie is readily available. This would have been worth a watch if it had appeared as a bonus feature with the movie, but on its own it's not worth forking out your cash for, no matter how cheap the disc may be.

I was really up for this; i thought it would be a good companion piece to the movie. Now I think i'll give it a wide berth. Sounds a little like When Evil Calls, now that IS a scary thought.

Amy's "Offbeat Primaries" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Amy
- Location:
- Lakewood, OH
- Division:
- Warm
- Inspiration for my palette:
- The red and white duvet started the inspiration. I love mixing of lighter blues with red. I planned to stay away from a "typical" pink or purple room for a little girl and wanted my daughter to have a room that felt happy. It's really a mix of brights with buttery yellow, robin's egg blue and red. I have a lot of more traditional furniture and mixing it with brighter colors gives an interesting contrast in style.
- Colors used in my room:
- buttery yellow
robin's egg blue
- Tips for using color successfully:
- When I pick colors, especially paint colors, I always put them up against other colors to see how they look. For example, I have white trim, and sometimes even what may appear to be very light is still very bright and saturated next to my white trim. I find that a lot of paint colors are far too saturated to use in large amounts...when in doubt, go a shade or two grayer or dirtier...it will be a lot easier to live with!

... I ... welcome back to Opinion Journal I'm Mary Kissel ... the price of gold is falling inflation is falling ... does this mean that the United States is heading for the D word deflation ... America's columnist Mary Anastasia O'Grady also a veteran of Wall Street ... he joins us now to tackle this question them ... many of the put up a couple of charts of inflation the first is that ... his figures out what's going on ... and generally speaking what other reasons why ... we can see declining prices ... well let's first talk about inflation and inflation is ... too much money chasing too few quiet spray ... so when inflation starts to slow down ... it's called disinflation SOEs opposing an inflation of ten percent and then you start had inflation of five percent that disinflation inside the flames and ... I'm so when ... lots of night Gao too much money is chasing too few goods is inflationary ... and when people start to ... not spend their money because they keep thinking that next month prices are going to go down ... that leaves two it did add the Felicia Neri environment which I don't think we're in now is that there's a good deflationary environment in a bad one good one ... you have a lot of innovation ... on the costs of guns is coming down and in this is a good thing the icon economy ... um but what counts for bad inflation would be ... that the ABC I use outline so which one do you think we're in today well first of all I don't think that falling prices due to innovation team he even be called deflation not inflation up and and that's that a misnomer but I'm if you use the CPI a worse we still have two percent inflation which means that every year ... your purchasing power it deteriorates by two percent ... unless you get a two percent adjustment in your salary or earning last ... so I don't think two percent inflation is anything that we should say ... you know is that is a decline in prices it's not and CPI is getting us back ... on top of that you know CPI it is actually ... I've made up sixty percent of the top of the services and services are very slow to react ... to buy inflationary pressures so from simple thing about your boss fair doesn't cooperate away as soon as there's even devaluation of currency ... since I was the CPI isn't telling you that much ... and I think that's why a lot more people on people like to look at gold ... okay so we shouldn't worry about the CPI was talk about gold Sunday gold is gold price is seeking a very big hit in the attribute that to isn't something that we should worry about ... well if you look ... at the Gold chart I think he showed it there I'm ... basically over like the last ten years old is still a very sharp clean tech is of very sharply from two thousand ate ... when you're seeing it now is a retrenchment from IPKat happen in two thousand and eleven ... and I think what could I ... attribute that ... to us on speculation a heavy speculation that occurred in anticipation of all the money that the Fed Reserve is can it is not creating ... but that money is staying inside of ... at the bank rate now at the Fed is paying ... with an excess amount on those reserves and they're not going out into the system ... so it hasn't been inflationary ... and I think the anticipation that a lot of speculators have that we would have been inflation they're starting to get up now and that's where you see the retrenchment I would say that it's very important ... to look at goal in terms of its ten year moving average not in terms of what it's done when the LSU the well and tell you more broadly what gold is worth but if you start to move back toward the ten year moving average in either direction if you're below in a new boat or neck or you're about it in you come back down toward it ... that's very good for the economy because it says that the Fed ... is doing last Janet and I think that they just did ... point out that the reason why people think the Fed is doing much that less than it is because ... those reserves are still on the bank and they're still nonbank because ... of regulatory policies that have made it more attractive for banks not to take any risk not to land out so ... in fact ...

Great Escape, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe thinks this new HD re-master spent a little too much time in the cooler
John Sturges' The Great Escape (based loosely on Paul Brickhill's original novel and a true event) is easily among the finest and most influential motion pictures of all time. It fulfills the needs of many genres – heist, escape, action, character study, war, and comedy – all without ever feeling over-crowded or tonally confused. It features career finest (or near career finest) performances from a motley crew of the '60s finest character actors and leads, including Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Donald Pleasence, James Coburn, and James Donaldson, giving each actor his due time without its epic 172 minute runtime ever stretching into boredom. In fact, it's hard to think of many other nearly three hour long features that zip by without a moment of what I'd call down time ( Seven Samurai, Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West, The Godfather, The Right Stuff, and Saving Private Ryan are all members of this small club). There's no obvious fat to be cut, there's no time wasted on unnecessary sequences, and there's no scientific explanation for the amazing speed at which this particularly time-consuming film moves along. For some reason, the Motion Picture Academy didn't nominate The Great Escape for anything other than editing – perhaps because it smelled too much like a 'boys adventure' picture or perhaps the Academy was a stickler for historical accuracy at the time – but it's hard to recommend Tom Jones (Best Picture winner), America, America, Cleopatra, How the West Was Won, or Lilies of the Field above Sturges' masterpiece. At the very least, The Great Escape's pop culture legacy is firmly intact, thanks to the likes of The Simpsons, Quentin Tarantino, Peter Lord & Nick Park (writers/directors of Chicken Run), and Eddie Izzard. I don't really have much I can say that hasn't already been said better.
This review copy of Fox/MGM's Blu-ray release (the first Blu-ray release in any region, I believe) arrived in my mailbox the evening following its release date, as is the norm for Fox release (you may have noticed). Other news and review outlets scored their review copies earlier, so, before I even had the disc in hand, I was hearing rumours of Fox/MGM dropping the ball on this highly anticipated release. The original press release specs listed a full 4K restoration of the material that would be screened at the TCM Classic Film Festival in Los Angeles back in April. That screening apparently occurred, but I haven't read any reviews on the quality of the showing. The Great Escape gets such regular play on cable TV that I hadn't ever bothered to buy a DVD copy over the years, so I'm unfortunately unable to directly compare this new transfer to older ones. However, I have seen the film in HD on TCM more than once and have a pretty strong memory of those viewings.
First things first – this transfer is an upgrade over SD releases. Even without seeing it back to back with a DVD, I can see that the general clarity and detail levels are beyond that of even an up-converted DVD image. There's nothing overtly impressive in the close-up textures and the backgrounds are occasionally a bit mushy, but there are no issues with jagged edges and the overall mosaic is sharper than standard definition could handle. Edge enhancement also isn't much of an issue, compared to various DVD screencaps scattered across the Internet, where every particularly sharp edge is haloed. Problems arise in complex overlapping patterns, some of which display shimmering Bayer effects, but again, there's very little in terms of sharpening effects. The print is quite a bit grainier than I'm guessing most fans were expecting. The grain occasionally clumps and some of the wider shots are a bit of smeared, but the granules are primarily consistent. The presence of grain also means the producers haven't gone hog-wild with digital tinkering. There are minor signs of DNR in the smoothness of facial skin and bit of blobbing in deeper set props, but nothing like the waxy monstrosities seen in too many other over-modulated releases. The most obvious mistakes in terms of clarity are some really frosty shots peppered throughout the nearly three-hour runtime, specifically the 4th of July sequence that begins around the 1:20:00 mark. This effects only the outside shots, which I suppose are already a bit foggy.
Compared to my memories of the TCM HD airings, this new 1080p image is sizably less vibrant and has a cooler overall tint. I find myself missing the warmer DeLuxe Color skin tones and wooden browns. The bluer, de-saturated qualities also lead to a generally darker sheen, which makes for some dull-ish details during darker shots, especially those scenes set in the caverns (the black edges bleed out here too). We aren't talking a French Connection level of dimming and 'bluification,' but I'm pretty sure The Great Escape was meant to be more eclectic and vivid than this (the consistent quality of navy blues and skin tones is a bit uncanny). The colour strips fallout of line a few times throughout the film, but this isn't very (unlike some of Paramount's White Christmas and To Catch a Thief semi-recent DVD releases).
Note: The Great Escape also has a weird history with framing on digital home video. It has been presented in 2.30:1, 2.35:1, and 2.69:1. This release is 2.35:1, which matches the IMDb.com specs, but director John Sturges has said that the 2.30:1 is close to his intention.
Correction: Troy Anderson at andersonvision.com noted that while getting screencaps for me to use with this review that the encode material marks the transfer as being made in the second quarter of 2004. Assuming the data is accurate (and why not?) that would probably mean that this 1080p transfer is the same one I saw on TCM and that my memories are deceiving me on the differences in quality. Anyone with further information pertaining to this possibility should feel free to say something in the comments section.
More bad news: Fox/MGM has not included The Great Escape's original mono soundtrack, which had been available as an option on the previous MGM special-edition DVD. Your only choice here, assuming you're going to watch the film in English, is a newly re-mastered version of the old 5.1 remix, presented here in DTS-HD Master Audio sound. However, according to IMDb.com specs, The Great Escape was released with a 4-track stereo option (Westrex Recording System) throughout appropriately equipped for stereo, so the non-mono sound likely hasn't been taken entirely from a single channel source. Still, stereo to 5.1 almost always leads to issues with artificial directional effects, surround support, and dialogue track splitting. For the most part, this is a 1.0 dialogue and effects track laid over a nice stereo surround representation of Elmer Bernstein's ear-bug of a musical score. The music is full, rich, and loud without overwhelming the dialogue or important effects. The LFE enhancement also applies almost exclusively to the music, where it does occasionally overshadow the melodies. The sounds of war machinery and buzzing vehicles sit more or less in the center channel, only occasionally wandering out to the stereo or surround channels. These splits aren't particularly awkward or distracting (the shifting dialogue is surprisingly natural), but mono would be preferable.
The extras here match those of MGM's last two-disc special-edition release (minus an image gallery and a trivia track), beginning with a grouped commentary made up from interviews with Sturges, actors James Garner, James Coburn, Donald Pleasence, Jud Taylor and David McCallum, production executive Robert Relyea, and stuntman Bud Ekins.
The other extras are a series of retrospective featurettes that sort of link into each other, including:
- Bringing Fact to Fiction (12:20, SD) is a quick look at the real-life 'Great Escapers' and the changes made to their story while making the film.
- Preparations for Freedom (19:50, SD) continues covering the technical processes of planning the escape.
- The Flight to Freedom (9:20, SD) covers the historical escape itself and compares it to the film's events.
- A Standing Ovation (6:00, SD) briefly covers the film's premiere and massive success.
- The Great Escape: The Untold Story (50:50, SD) is closer to a long-form documentary, complete with re-enactments. It includes interviews with real escapers Jimmy James, Alex Cassie, Jack Lyon, and Les Brodwick, along with surviving family members.
- Additional Interviews from The Untold Story (9:40, SD).
- The Real Virgil Hilts: A Man Called Jones (25:00, SD) covers the inspiration behind Steve McQueen's character.
- Return to The Great Escape (24:10, SD) finishes things out by telling the true story one more time.
You shouldn't need me to tell you that The Great Escape is a fantastic, endlessly re-watchable motion picture. The question is whether or not this new Blu-ray release's disappointing 1080p images is enough to keep fans from re-buying the film for their collection. In the end, this is an upgrade over the DVD releases (as far as my eyes can tell), but it does have problems. I don't think the problems are as aggressive as some other critics think they are, but, clearly, there's room for improvement. The missing mono audio track is a disappointment as well, but the DTS-HD MA 5.1 serves the film well and the extras, ported from the previous DVD releases, are quite informative (if not a little repetitive).
* Note: The above images are taken from the Blu-ray resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer. Thanks to Troy Anderson from andersonvision.com for the caps.

sure i read about a new 4k version...was i dreaming. great film btw.
Gabe Powers Editor Join Date: September 2004 Location: United States Posts: 4,721
If this is a 4K restoration it is the saddest I've ever seen. Again, it's not a *bad* transfer, but there's no way they followed through with the restoration they originally advertised.
Here is a nice comparison to the German DVD that pretty much verifies my review:

Nursing Dept. Begins Online MA Program
Top HeadlinesDate: September 27, 2005
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 269-471-3311
Intrinsic to the current and chronic scarcity of nurses and the disturbing national drop in student enrollment in nursing programs is the lack of accredited educators in the field. According to recent research, nearly forty percent of nursing programs are suffering from severe faculty shortages. Enter Andrews University Nursing Department's newest prescription: a comprehensive, competitive, and cutting-edge online Masters-level program, designed to revive the lethargy of current MS nursing graduation rates with IV expediency.
Fall semester 2005 saw the enthusiastic launch of the online MS program's inaugural semester. The only one like it in the Adventist education system, the program joins Andrews University's already-top-notch nursing program, which has long been the sole MS Nursing program in Southwest Michigan approved by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and has produced decades of nursing students with an unprecedented 100 percent pass rate on certification board exams. And it goes without saying that nurses who graduate from Andrews University bring a distinct spiritual sensitivity to their profession.
Notwithstanding its many marked successes, Andrews' nursing department decided it was time for a dosage of convenience. Online degree programs lend flexibility and speed in degree completion not as readily available in traditional classroom-structured programs. Rather than wrangling with vexing schedules and juggling preexisting work and family commitments with their pursuit of higher education, MS nursing students at Andrews University are now free to "attend class" at their convenience and complete their MS degrees in as little as two years. Nutrition chair Karen Allen expects this will ensure program subscribers "successfully land teaching positions in academic, clinical, and community venues" and thus begin to fill the current instructional void.
While some interested parties might suspect online education would be more bothersome than dressing a bedsore, Allen wants to guarantee its straightforwardness. "If you can open an email," she says, "you can complete the program." But don't think its intuitive nature implies any compromise in the quality of its content. Just the opposite, its "classrooms" boast the latest technology and digital tools—including chat-room office hours—to ensure an interactive educational experience where support is only a mouse-click away.
Coordinators of the project and Andrews University's nursing department at large look forward to what they expect will be positive feedback from students after the close of the program's first semester.

MOORHEAD (AP) — On a weekend when many homeowners in Fargo, N.D., will be monitoring floodgates, residents in neighboring Moorhead will be checking out Bill Gates.
Both cities are located on the banks of the rising Red River, but there are stark differences in what it will take to protect residents from flooding.
Fargo is looking at possibly sandbagging more than 200 homes. Moorhead is starting with a handful, most of which should be complete in time for a speech by Gates on Saturday morning at Concordia College.
Both cities have been working on flood protection efforts after three major floods starting in 2009, but Moorhead had fewer homes to buy out and fewer levees to build. And Moorhead is on higher ground.
Fargo has about 110,000 people, compared to 40,000 in Moorhead.

Few questions:
Which parts did you go to? Would you recommend a trip there? Anything you would skip / add-in in hindsight?
How long did you go for? How was the weather?
Wearing of shorts - I have read a few comments that suggest (especially for women) it is better to wear trousers. Do you agree? Did you wear shorts? Did you have any problems?
Ok - not few - lots of questions.....

Yes, it is a muslim country, and you should show respect for local custom. Dress modestly.
Much of Malaysia is mountainous, if you don't like steep climbs then stick to the coast.
There was civil unrest in some areas so make sure you read the travel advice on smartraveller.gov.au

Shorts/T-Shirt are fine in Malaysia. Normally the religious "police" as such (yes there are some) only advise Malay women on their dressing sense, not the men or westerners. KL is fine for casual clothing for western people. Never had any issues over there. However two of the states in Malaysia Kelantan and Kedah are ruled by an conservative islamic party and are more strict than the other states of Malaysia.
I have found the following:
Some interesting notes...esp the one about body guards and magnums?
From living there, Malacca is an excellent place to visit, Ipoh, KL and of course Penang.
If you want to have a some climbing, the Genting Highlands or Cameron Highlands.
Genting Highland - http://www.climbbybike.com/climb.asp?qryMountainID=8170
Also here is a review of another riders tour 6-7 days which included the Cameron Highlands
Another option might also to email some of the riding groups over in Malaysia as they may have had members also complete tours around their spectacular countryside.
If your worried about your stomach, take some tabs with you (forum isn't letting me spell our i-m-odium) but generally eat where the locals do and you will be fine if you want good local food. It is the one thing about the place that I miss dearly.. the food. Chinese Malay food is simply the best over there.

I've been researching Malaysia and Thailand for a tour in mid/late March riding for a couple of months, maybe more. I was going to do it late last year but something came up so I have had to shelve the plans till now.
I've traveled in Asia and SEA several times before but not by bike. My main concern is if I leave in March it is going to be filthy hot and humid. It's the start of the hottest season there. On top of that the weather may be overcast a fair bit (possibly less issue with the sun) but again the humidity is considered oppressive at this time of year. This weather site is well worth exploring, [url]This website[/url]
And in case it didn't work http://weatherspark.com/averages/34042/ ... h-Malaysia
Initially I was thinking of plodding from Bangkok to Singapore or vice versa but I have time so am now investigating a loop of Malaysia starting in Phuket Thailand then maybe BKK but if the weather is as bad as I'm reading it will be then it could really sap the enjoyment from it. And air con rooms every night sap the funds too. My plan B at the moment is to travel up the east of Australia but SEA sounds more exciting and different. If you want to PM me it would be good to compare notes if you like.

I realise this is an older post but air con rooms in Thailand are not expensive. Near major roads and highways are 24 hour motels the most I paid was 500 baht (less than $20) includes AC, hot water, TV, sometimes a fridge. Some include wifi and bread/juice/instant coffee for breakfast.
Some camp grounds in Australia will cost that.
Even the more tourist places a guesthouse or small hotel maximium paid was 1000 baht (less than $35) and that was across from the beach, listening to waves roll in. There are so many accomodation options in Thailand most are not listed on the web. So if you are planning your accodation via websites then it will be so much more expensive and way less options.
Even in Krabi I found a backpacker place for 200 baht a night, shared bathroom but was clean, safe and right near Krabi town.

Thanks for posting your info here and even though the thread is a little old it might help somebody.
I ended up going to SEA after all. I left in late March and rode from Bangkok to Singapore. It was fantastic although Malaysia west coast was not great for cycling. Food was INCREDIBLE though. Agreed the accommodation is usually excellent and affordable particularly in Thailand. I cycled in the hottest time of year unfortunately and even the locals were complaining about it being hotter than usual so I was glad to have a/c rooms most nights. I bought a thermometer and on the road it was mid 40's give or take a few degrees.
Thailand is a breeze for bike touring and I highly recommend it. Excellent smooth and safe roads and some of the warmest people you could meet anywhere.

How did you cross from Thailand to Malaysia - which provinces did you go through? There's issues in the very south of Thailand and many embassies advise against travel there. I've always wondered how much danger there really is for a passing tourist.
That'd be a good and cheapish ride, fly into Bangkok and fly out of Singapore. Nice and could R&R on some of the southern Thai beaches.
How many days travel was that?

Yeah that sun had bite but I didn't feel crispified at the end of the day like I would back here in Australia if I spent the same amount of time in it.
I rode from Bangkok across to Nakhon Pathom and then south to Chumpon before heading to the west coast. When I got to Satun I caught a ferry to Langkawi and then after some great cycling and swimming there I ferried to Kuala Perlis and carried on south from there.
I took loads of time as some days I was really feeling the heat and I'm particularly unfit. All up with lots of rest and sightseeing days I took 2 months to get to Singapore. I'd typically travel about 70-80k's a day but there were plenty of lesser days and a some big ones too. If you're fit and get off early to avoid the heat you could probably do it in a month with a faster bike than my Thorn. You could even do it on a road bike if you use the right tyres.
I found these guys journals amongst others very useful for accommodation and route planning and a good read too. I pretty much made it up as I went along with a few places I definitely wantted to see. CGOAB'er Frank Roettgen traveled in the south east of Thailand but unfortunately received a minor injury from a bomb going off. Probably just bad luck but I would be very aware of the current situation and risks before deciding.

Malaysia- https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/?o= ... 0525&v=1GV
How about yourself? Did you travel in similar areas? I reckon I'll go back again as there is plenty to do and traveling by bike was a whole new perspective having been there a few times before without bike.
I traveled a bit with this couple who have now moved to Perth. https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/?o= ... 11484&v=VJ

No I didn't create any maps of that section. The whole trip I used my Samsung s2 phone and google maps. I had a couple of choices, either over the land border to Malaysia or take the ferry to Langkawi and then back to the Malaysian mainland. I took the latter and I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed the swimming at Langkawi and it was really scenic peaceful riding after the traffic on the mainland. I then ferried to Kuala Perlis and headed south from there but you can also ferry directly to Penang if you want to save time or avoid some unremarkable riding on poor roads.
Nice trip you did to Malacca. It roused the travel bug. And pm me if you want to chat.

text: Some recent publishing moves: Carol Burell, formerly editorial director at the Graphic Universe division of Lerner Publishing, ankled the company to join Abrams Comic Arts as an editor last month. As editor, Burell took a small educational publisher's comic line and grew it to produce both outstanding original comics (Guinea Pig) and great international pick-ups (the much lauded Little White Duck: A Childhood in China.) Basically she was there as children's comic became a growing market and helped Lerner become a player in the field. At Abrams, the powerhouse publisher of Wimpy Kid and My Friend Dahmer, she's in a position to do even more. We won't lie: Carol is one of our favorite comics people and this was a fantastic move for Abrams.

The story of the ruined city of Pompeii is one of the best-known examples of a city that suddenly ceased to exist. One moment it was a thriving metropolis, then an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried the city in volcanic ash. It was accidentally rediscovered in 1749 and excavated, revealing a time capsule of city life during the era of the Roman Empire.
It's not just ancient cities that vanish, however. The following collection includes a city that disappeared just this past August. Even as the seven billion residents of Earth begin to run out of physical space to populate, there are virtual places to be abandoned – former online frontiers such as Geocities: The Deleted City.
There are many different ways a city can disappear: It can fall victim to catastrophe, become submerged by rising water or simply be zoned out of existence. In some cases, no one knows why a once-thriving city was wiped off the map. Click ahead and prepare to feel unsettled by the transience of human settlements.

Here's the listing of my favorite albums from 2012. Not necessarily the best or greatest but the ones that left the biggest impact on me and warranted the most repeated listens. Not ranked in numerical order, all rule pretty hard (IMO). Feel free to take listen:
Converge- All We Love We Leave Behind
It's pretty much unanimously agreed upon that Converge's Jane Doe was the best metal album of the 2000's. Their first album of the new decade is no slouch either. The riffs are still crushing and the technical spazz parts still turn lesser minds into spaghetti, but this really is one of the bands most catchy/accessible albums to date. Clean vocals that don't offend the ears and memorable, infectious songs, this album is the prefect starting point for Converge rookies.
Gaza- No Absolutes in Human Suffering
The ugliest and unfortunately, most truthful album of the year. No Absolutes is like the evil twin of Converge's All We Love We Leave Behind. Both albums blend punk and metal into a slammin' hybrid but while Converge use clean vocals and uplifting melodies to spice things up, Gaza only slow down to further bludgeon the listener with lumbering riffs and some of the most menacing howls/vocals this side of the insane asylum.
The Hives- Lex Hives
No one will accuse The Hives of being the most prolific band around, but it had been so long since their last album (2007's rather disappointing The Black and White Album), even I was afraid the band might have lost a step. Well rejoice world, Lex Hives marks the band's triumphant return from the dark realm of major label land, back to high octane world of punk meets retro rock where they reign supreme. Nobody does poppy, infectious and snarling 4/4 rock music like The Hives. This new album proves it.
The Hives - Go Right Ahead (Official video) from Bold Faces on Vimeo.
Ghostlimb- Confluence
The follow up to their awesome 2011 album Infrastructure does not disappoint. Another quick jolt of thinking mans hardcore, that isn't afraid to bring the galloping tempos and screams to a crawl and simply rock the fuck out. The first time I heard this song "Candiae" I wiped the drool from mouth and hit replay instantly, it's that good and represents all that is awesome about Ghostlimb and their entire new album.
Black Breath- Sentenced to Life
This record was the surprise of the year. I've seen Black Breath live before, I dug their last album fine but holy balls I did not expect to love Sentenced to Life so much. It's the perfect blend of thrash and crust punk by way of old school Swedish death metal. Basically, I start having visions of circle pits and frozen cemeteries when this comes on. The production, dear LAWD the production, is phenomenal. Every instrument is clear and distinctive, it sounds modern and high def but still has that classic dirge us metal heads fiend over. Catchy energetic songs that will make even the most casual observer thrash like a madman and bang their fucking heads.
Phobia- Remnants of Filth
This new Phobia record is not unique or all that distinguishable from the rest of Phobia's epic grindcore catalog, but something about this album just stuck with me. Enough to edge out new albums from grind legends like Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer and fiery upstarts The Secret. All those albums slayed, but something about this new Phobia record just won out. It's simple grind but done to perfection. For the none grind fiends out there, imagine The Ramones on a cocktail of steroids and meth and you've got Phobia's latest album.
Torche- Harmonicraft
The happiest album of the year? Torche have roots in sludge and stoner metal, but they have progressed into the best heavy rock and roll band nobody knows about on the planet. They're so good it's not even funny. One tour with the Foo Fighters or Red Hot Chilli Peppers would put this band into the stratosphere. Steve Brook's vocals are warm and inviting, the guitar tone is both heavy, and saccharine sweet at the same time. Torche's rhythm section is unfuckwithable and they prove it on Harmonicraft. I even saw grown ass *gasp* metalheads dancing, yes dancing, to Torche's new songs in concert I shit you not.
Beneath The Massacre- Incongruous
This band is on some next level shit. Technical death metal for angry T-800 model terminators. The whole album is a whirlwind of bloops and bleeps (guitar doodling), machine gun fire (double bass drumming & blast beats) and demonic vacuum cleaners (growling vocals). This was THE death metal album I went back to all year (edging out new records from Spawn of Possession, Gorod, Nile & Cryptopsy). Your brain is not ready for this.
Anaal Nathrakh- Vanitas
No band frightens or excites me as much as Anaal Nathrakh does. Their extreme (and I mean extreme) blend of black metal and grind, is like the soundtrack to Armageddon. Vanita's production sounds like it was recorded in the cold and terrifying depths of outer space, while it's music was written in the chaotic agonizing pits of hell. Bits of traditional "heavy metal" guitar melodies and soaring operatic singing mixed with a barrage of drum machine madness, blitzkrieg tremolo picking, and the most terrifying vocals shrieks you'll ever hear. Check out the final scream/outro of this song for proof.
Deftones- Koi No Yokan
This band is fired up. They've adjusted to the lineup change brought by Chi Cheng's tragic accident, and are attacking the current musical landscape like a band possessed. Koi No Yokan is the Deftones 2.0's second stellar album in a row (following 2010's amazing Diamond Eyes). The production sounds a little less gorgeous than their previous record, but the songs, the songs are just as haunting and unlike their string of albums from the 2000's, truly dynamic.

Some cracking stuff on hear. I love The Hives and Phobia reminds me of my days in the late 80's listening to Bolthrower and Godflesh.ReplyDelete
A list like this would've taken me forever.. kudos. I should give most of these a listen too.ReplyDelete
Great post man, I'd love to check out some of these albums, I like the Hives a little like I've told you before so that album might be a good place to start of with on my musical journey. I love your new banner at the top by the way!ReplyDelete

Good afternoon HTS,
I recently came up with a simple concept. Imagine you wanted a certain program to run on a certain computer without having to edit the registry for fear of administrators or anti-hacker programs monitoring the registry run keys.
All the program really needs is to search through a list of existing run keys (ex: keys under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run) and choose one at random. The program will then find the location of the executable to be launched by that run key and then rename the executable with the same name but with a suffix (ex: winlogon.exe will become winlogon64.exe) and then insert into the same directory it's own executable under the previous executable's name (ex: in our example the executable will be named winlogon.exe). This new executable will now be launched by the run key instead of the previous executable without altering the registry. From there it can pass its arguments to the executable which it is masquerading as to make sure that the computer continues running as expected.
At that point, it can do whatever it wants. It can snoop around the computer, log keys, connect to C&C servers, and so forth. The basic idea is that it is too obvious to an investigator that a malicious run key has been added, so instead, your program masquerades as a program with a legitimate run key to look authentic. One query of the run keys is also a lot less suspicious then an addition to the run keys.
TL:DR; take a program that's run at startup, replace it with your own shady program under the same name so that it will also be launched at startup.
What do you guys think of this? Criticism, suggestions, problems, flaws are a welcome. I'm currently trying to implement this in batch, but batch is a terrible language for string manipulation...

Algie was poodlefaking, giving us ample reason to ostracise him from the Mess

The term probably stems from the habit of aging high-born ladies and their ladies-in-waiting in the English aristocracy, keeping small dogs and young men around to pass the time, and to amuse themselves, those poodlefaking high-borns!
