Notes directly from client:
- Here are some words that people said should describe our site: sleek, dynamic, simple, straightforward.
- We want lots of white space - it doesn't need to be white, but whatever color the background is (but please don't use red as a color theme for the site). Let's call it empty space.
- Over and over, people kept going to this site http://www.quarasan.com/, as an example of what our site should look like. They like how each page is listed horizontally across the top and then each page (http://www.quarasan.com/about.html ) has a small amount of info and a lot of empty space.
- We want a big contrast between background color and text color.
- We do not want multiple columns of text.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) Carlos Lopez kicked three field goals and Kevin Byard returned an interception 77 yards for the game-winning touchdown as Middle Tennessee took down Troy 24-21 Saturday in a Sun Belt Conference game.
Lopez converted field goals of 37, 26, and 21 yards. His 26-yarder put Middle Tennessee (8-3, 6-1) ahead 13-7 at halftime while his 21-yarder helped the Blue Raiders retake the lead, 16-14, late in the third quarter.
Troy (5-7, 3-5) reclaimed the lead, 21-16, by taking advantage of a Reggie Whatley fumble and driving 56 yards for the score. Deon Anthony capped the drive with his 6-yard touchdown run.
Troy forced another turnover on Middle Tennessee's next possession, intercepting Cameron Deen and returning it to the Blue Raiders 47, but Byard made his game-winning interception return six plays later to seal the win.
Corey Robinson completed 22 of 36 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown for Troy but his lone interception proved costly.
An injury to Middle Tennessee linebacker Craig Allen stopped play for 16 minutes following Byard's interception return. Allen, who was carried off the field on a backboard, was taken to a local hospital to be evaluated.

The top of the cowl tag should not have body color overspray on it. The entire car body was painted body color, and then the firewall was blacked out. That car has had the body color repsrayed, but not the firewall. The firewall/body color line looks good other than the fact its body color over black instead of black over body color.
So if the firewall blackout is up that high then it is safe to assume there will be black over-spray in the cowl where the wiper motor mechanics are? Mike


text: This is a very atmospheric and stirring track with futuristic leanings. A haunting guitar sporadically cuts through the moving music to take you somewhere new. Lots of light and shade within this tune as it drops away and kicks back in with a plethora of strings and instruments. also there are lots of SFX in this tune, including computer and robotic cross-talk to drive home the "future" and "technology" feel. This will make a great backing to video, tv, and presentations. Really deep feel to the chorus sections – really draws you in and sets your imagination running Enjoy!

What is Virtualmin?
It is a Webmin module for managing multiple virtual hosts through a single interface, like Plesk or Cpanel. It supports the creation and management of Apache virtual hosts, BIND DNS domains, MySQL databases, and mailboxes and aliases with Sendmail or Postfix. It makes use of the existing Webmin modules for these servers, and so should work with any existing system configuration, rather than needing it's own mail server, web server and so on.
Virtualmin can also create a Webmin user for each virtual server, who is restricted to managing just his domain and its files. Webmin's existing module access control features are used, and are set up automatically to limit the user appropriately. These server administrators can also manage the mailboxes and mail aliases in their domain, via a web interface that is part of the module.
What License is Virtualmin Under?
Two versions of Virtualmin exist, under separate licenses:
- Virtualmin GPL
This is the freely downloadable version, licensed under the GPL. It is under active development, but does not contain all of the features of the Pro version.
- Virtualmin Pro
This is the commerical version that you have to pay for. It includes numerous features not in the GPL version (like script installers, resellers, HTML editor, an improved UI, mobile access, spam and virus filtering). Customers also get support, a simplified complete installation script and access to a repository of updated packages. To learn more, visit the Virtualmin Pro website.
Both the Pro and GPL versions are built from the same codebase, so all bugfixes and some new features go into both of them.

The History of the 7.3L Diesel Powerstroke Engine
The 7.3L Diesel Power Stroke engine had been used by International for Ford Trucks since 1993. More than one million had left the factory by 1999, with number two million being built by 2002. The name Power Stroke is reserved for Ford trucks and has set a new bar among the Big Three competitors.
The engine was included in the prestigious Diesel Power
Magazine's Top 10 Diesel Engines Ever Produced. With more than two
million Ford trucks equipped with this engine, it beat the total number of Dodge, Chevy and
GMC diesel engines in just one lineup.
Displacement: 7.3L; 444 cubic inches
Configuration: V8
Compression Ratio: 17.5:1
Bore: 4.11"
Stroke: 4.18"
Injection: Direct injection; hydraulic electronic unit injection (HEUI)
Aspiration: Single turbocharger
Valve Train: OHV, two valves per cylinder
Oil Capacity: 14 to 15 quarts
Weight: Approximately 920 pounds dry
Horsepower (Peak): 275 HP @ 2,800 RPM
Torque (Peak): 525 foot pounds @ 1,600 RPM
*Peak is qualified by the highest rating given to this area during testing.
With the changes in emission regulations hitting engine production hard
in 2003, International had to pull the mighty Power Stroke off the
market, replacing it with a 6.0L Power Stroke. Though the 7.3L Diesel Power Stroke engine is no longer in production, it's estimated there are around two million still on the road today.
The 7.3L is considered aging to today's diesel technology, but it was a
major powerhouse in its heyday. Buyers of trucks with this engine love
the performance and heavy duty dedication the 7.3L Diesel Power Stroke
offers. It's no wonder this engine beat out all the diesels its
competitors put out combined.
If you're in the market for a hard working diesel engine you can trust,
check for a used 7.3L Diesel Power Stroke. Check with your local state
EPA regulations to find out if you need to perform any modifications.

Oil creeps above $104 as China factories ramp up
A rebound in manufacturing in China and Europe and falling U.S. stockpiles of crude pushed the price of oil above $104 a barrel Thursday as traders braced for the Federal Reserve to start phasing out its monetary stimulus.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for October delivery was up 25 cents to $104.10 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract dropped $1.26 to close Wednesday at $103.85.
The eurozone's purchasing managers' index, a key gauge of growth in both the manufacturing and services sectors, rose to 51.7 points in August from 50.4 in July, according to financial information company Markit. It was the highest reading since June 2011 and supported expectations that the eurozone's recovery from recession is gaining momentum.
HSBC Corp. said the preliminary version of its monthly PMI for Chinese manufacturing rose to 50.1 for August, a sharp improvement from July's figure of 47.7.
The figures helped divert investors' attention away from the question of when the Fed will begin to reduce its monetary stimulus.
The program was intended to push down interest rates and spark investment, but also weighed on the dollar's value. The dollar has crept up in recent days amid expectations that the Fed will gradually reduce its purchases of Treasurys and other bonds.
Michael Hewson of CMC Markets said the rise in the dollar has kept pressure on oil prices.
When the dollar rises, oil gets more expensive for foreign currency holders and thus losses some of its investment appeal. On Thursday, the euro was down at $1.3311 from $1.3358 late Wednesday in New York.
Falling U.S. crude inventories, which suggest stronger demand for oil, also helped support prices. For the week ended Aug. 16, stockpiles of crude fell by 1.4 million barrels to 359.1 million barrels, according to the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration. Gasoline stocks declined by 4 million barrels last week.
Elsewhere, Brent crude, which sets prices for imported oil used by many U.S. refineries, was up 2 cents to $109.83 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Heating oil added 0.42 cents to $3.0857 per gallon.
— Natural gas rose 3.6 cents to $3.496 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Wholesale gasoline gained 0.63 cents to $2.8247 per gallon.

Low tech wi-fi boost w/ beer can here
For the first time, the number of wireless devices connecting to cellular networks in the United States and its territories over the past six months has surpassed the countrys total population. A semi-annual survey conducted by the CTIA found that wireless subscriber connections now total 327.6 million while the population of the U.S. and its territories is now 315.5 million people. This means the wireless penetration rate in the U.S. in now 103.9% according to the CTIA, marking the first time that wireless penetration has surpassed 100% in the U.S.
I met my first Apple fanboi in about 1980. He was a fellow electrical engineering student. I did some HW and SW work with microprocessors, but did not actually have my own computer. A few people did. I was waiting until they were better.
I remember asking this guy a smart ass question about the sticker on his truck. "Why is there a hunk out of that apple? And why is it striped? I've seen red apples, green apples, golden apples, but not one with stripes." He ignored my smart ass intent, and launched into a spiel about how great Apple was. I saw the Apple ][ as just another crappy little toy computer with *gasp* a weak ass 6502.
His excitement while talking about Apple was palpable. He could think of nothing better than moving to Cupertino to work for them. I didn't get it. I guess I did take away from that exchange that Silicon Valley is the place to be. So I did at least grasp that.
Thanks Steve, for making engineering a little more exciting.
Now that I've done a little research I am completely confused about televisions. Maybe Mark can help? I am pretty price constrained, and I need a 32 inch set. Do I want LED over LCD? Is a 720p set from a maker I know (Samsung, Sharp, etc...) maybe a better choice than a 1080p from a maker I do not? For instance, this 1080p Vizio is a little more than I wanted to pay, but much less than other 1080p sets I've seen. Ever heard of them? What would you buy for around $400?
And lastly, just out of curiosity and because I feel like it is something I should really know the answer to: why can't I buy a nice 27 or 30 inch computer monitor and use it as a TV as well? Or maybe I could do this? Obviously it would be more than a $400 set but I'd get double use out of it. Seems like this isn't possible though, or somehow doesn't work out so great.
Interesting take on Netflix.
Is wireless HDMI possible? Seems like there are some announced products but I can't find anything shipping. Do you know Mark?
Google says all YouTube videos will be available in H.264. And WebM too.
Adobe adds Apple's HTTP Live Streaming to Flash Media Server.
Towes [Adobe] noted in a blog post that Adobe is adding HTTP Live Streaming support to Flash Media Server and Flash Media Live Encoder. "By adding support for HLS within the Flash Media Server, Adobe is reducing the publishing complexity for broadcasters who need to reach browsers supporting HLS through HTML5 (such as Safari) or devices where Adobe Flash is not installed."There are still a lot of difficulties in the streaming video world but this makes things a lot easier.
In other words, instead of trying in vain to persuade Apple to build Flash into iOS, or losing potential Flash Media Server customers to some other iOS-compatible solution, Adobe seems to be implicitly acknowledging that content publishers need Flash-free video streaming.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 6, 2010) - Over the last month one thing has been certain for the ETSU women's tennis team and that one thing is winning. Just as they have the previous four matches the Lady Bucs continued their two-match homestand with a 7-0 victory over Atlantic Sun Conference rival Mercer Saturday afternoon at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center in Johnson City.
Overall, the Lady Bucs (6-2) have won five straight contests, with their last loss coming at No. 54 Virginia Tech February 6.
"I thought today's match was a competitive one, with Mercer pushing us in a lot of positions early," said head coach Steve Brooks. "Right now our girls are playing well; I just hope that we can take this momentum and use it as we move forward from this point."
ETSU opened play by sweeping all three doubles matches. The ETSU team of senior Yevgeniya Stupak (Kyiv, Ukraine) and junior Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa), dropped Mercer's Jennifer Lada and Amalia Bugge 8-3, while sophomores Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) and Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) continued their great play with a close 8-6 victory over Anna Wieslander and Priscilla Dias.
Not to be outdone the Lady Buc duo of junior Tara Sheets (Gate City, Va.) and sophomore Diana Navrostska (Kviv, Ukraine) made quick work of Stephanie Cohen and Sarah Hanna 8-2 at the No. 3 position.
As singles action got underway the Lady Bucs extended their lead as Navrostska dominated her contest against Cohn 6-1, 6-0, while Holtzhausen made the score 3-0 with her 6-1, 6-1 straight set victory over Wieslander at No. 2.
Just minutes later Paula Jaime then secured the win for ETSU as the second-year Lady Buc pushed her spring to 8-0 with a 6-1, 6-0 defeat over Bugge at No. 3. Adding to the ETSU scores were Stupak, who kept Lada off balance at No. 1 with a 6-2, 6-1 victory, while sophomore Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) dropped Hanna 6-2, 6-1.
Closing out the total for ETSU was Karina Kedzo who after falling in the first set 6-4, to Dias the Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela native fought back to win the second set 6-3. Then after falling behind 3-0 in the tiebreaker Kedzo continued to show her determination with a 10-7 win in the extra frame.
ETSU returns to action with a 2:30 p.m. contest Thursday at Florida Gulf Coast.

According to AARP, there are 78 million baby boomers now reaching retirement age. Like those who came before them, many will sell the house, pick up stakes and head off to retirement communities to live out their autumn years.
For these retirees and soon-to-be retirees, their needs will go way beyond bingo, prune juice and shuffleboard. After all, this is the generation that attended sit-ins and watched Jimi Hendrix perform at Woodstock, and they have brought every last ounce of their vitality with them into retirement age.
These retirees often have specialized interests. As a result, communities are popping up everywhere that offer access to resources for continuing education, sports, the arts and more.
These niche retirement communities — sometimes known as "affinity communities" — cater to the needs of the retiree who truly believes that age is just a number, and who rejects the idea that exiting the workforce equals a compromised existence.
Read ahead to learn about some of the niche retirement communities currently serving the needs of the silver-haired boomer population.

Family-Friendly Resort on Table Rock Lake near Branson's Key Attractions
In a city known for having some legendary entertainment venues, Silver Dollar City stands out. It features the world's second-fastest wooden roller coaster, a culinary-and-craft school, a $1 million children's play area, and more than 40 live shows daily. Frommer's called the 1880s-themed amusement park the "biggest and best" in the area. Located about 2 miles from here is Stillwaters Lakefront Resort, situated right on the gorgeous Table Rock Lake. Stillwaters is also just a short drive away from Branson's theater district, famed for its country-music concerts and magic shows. Private balconies are attached to the resort's condominiums; from here you can see the lake and the rolling hills that surround the property. The one-, two-, and three-bedroom units are ideal for larger groups—they have full kitchens and spacious living rooms. Settle in for a movie by the fireplace, or unwind in the two-person whirlpool tubs.
There's plenty to do outside, as well. Rent one of the resort's complimentary bikes and you can explore the peninsula's scenic terrain. Or feel free to take a stroll along the onsite hiking trails. Three outdoor swimming pools and a marina open up during warmer months, too. As a bonus for this deal, you'll receive a $50 credit if you rent a watercraft for a minimum of four hours.
Branson, Missouri: Family-Friendly Theaters and Concert Halls in the Ozarks
If you take a drive through the Ozarks in Missouri, it might seem like an unlikely place to find glittering lights and stage shows—for the most part, it's a rolling plateau of wooded hills, snaking rivers, and limestone bluffs. But follow down Route 76 and you'll find Branson, which looks like a miniature, more family-friendly version of Las Vegas.
Dozens of stages and music halls line Branson's main strip, some of which are owned by stars such as Dolly Parton. On any given night you can watch anything from country music performances to circus acrobatics to magic shows.
If you're traveling with kids, Silver Dollar City is a safe bet; it's located about 5 miles west of the strip. Here you can hop on a mine-car roller coaster, take a tour by lantern through limestone caverns, or watch as blacksmiths hand-forge mailboxes for the mayor's private collection.
If you want to duck away from the lights, it's worth it to explore the surrounding countryside. Within about 30 miles of each other are two large lakes—Table Rock and Taneycomo. Each is stocked with trout and has boats available for rent. Or head to Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area, where you can bike or hike along Roark Creek and through dense oak forests. Paul Henning, who was inspired to create the Beverly Hillbillies after a Boy Scout trip to the Ozarks, donated the 1,534-acre reserve.

bue-TAL-bi-tal, AS-pir-in, KAF-een, KOE-deen FOS-fate
Respiratory depression and death have occurred in pediatric patients who received codeine following tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, or both. These patients had evidence of being ultrarapid metabolizers of codeine due to CYP2D6 polymorphism .
Opioid/Barbiturate Combination
Salicylate, Aspirin
Butalbital, aspirin, caffeine, and codeine combination is used to relieve symptoms of tension (or muscle contraction) headaches. Extended and repeated use of this product is not recommended.
Butalbital belongs to the group of medicines called barbiturates. Barbiturates act in the central nervous system (CNS) to produce their effects.
Aspirin is used to relieve pain and reduce fever in patients. It belongs to the group of medicines known as salicylates and acts on the immune system to reduce inflammation. It is also known as an anti-inflammatory analgesic.
Caffeine is a CNS stimulant that is used with pain relievers to increase their effect. It has also been used for migraine headaches. Codeine belongs to the group of medicine called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.
When butalbital or codeine is used for a long time or in large doses, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects when you stop taking the medicine. In patients who get headaches, the first symptom of withdrawal may be new (rebound) headaches.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are taking this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Check the labels of all nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) or prescription medicines you now take. If any contain a barbiturate, aspirin, caffeine, or codeine, check with your doctor. Taking them together with this medicine may cause an overdose.
Codeine is changed to morphine in the body. Some people change codeine to morphine more quickly than others. These individuals are called "ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine". Contact your doctor immediately if you experience extreme sleepiness, confusion, or shallow breathing. These symptoms may indicate that you are an "ultra-rapid metabolizer of codeine". As a result, there is too much morphine in the body and more side effects of morphine than usual. Children may be especially sensitive to this effect.
If a nursing mother is an ultra-rapid metabolizer of codeine, it could lead to a morphine overdose in the nursing baby and cause very serious side effects.
For nursing mothers taking this medicine:
Aspirin may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Stop using this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have a rash, hives, itching, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth while you are using this medicine.
This medicine may be habit-forming. If you feel that the medicine is not working as well, do not use more than your prescribed dose. Call your doctor for instructions.
This medicine may make you dizzy or drowsy. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that can make you drowsy or less alert). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for allergies or colds, sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine, other prescription pain medicine or narcotics, medicine for seizures or barbiturates, muscle relaxants, or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of these medicines while you are using this medicine.
If you think you or someone else may have taken an overdose of this medicine, get emergency help at once. Signs of an overdose include convulsions, difficult or troubled breathing, irregular, fast or slow, or shallow breathing, nausea or vomiting, pain in the upper stomach, pale or blue lips, fingernails, or skin, pinpoint pupils of the eyes, or trouble sleeping.
Using narcotics for a long time can cause severe constipation. To prevent this, your doctor may direct you to take laxatives, drink a lot of fluids, or increase the amount of fiber in your diet. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, because continuing constipation can lead to more serious problems.
Before you have any medical tests, tell the medical doctor in charge that you are taking this medicine. The results of some tests may be affected by this medicine.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Get emergency help immediately if any of the following symptoms of overdose occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

The Lakers will get Pau Gasol back Thursday night against the Miami Heat after the forward-center missed five games with a concussion.
After losing six straight games, the Lakers have won two in a row. According to Coach Mike D'Antoni, the Lakers improved their level of play halfway through the losing streak.
"We don't want to get too excited about two wins," D'Antoni said. "Even in the three losses we had before this, it's just a better [level of] play and a little bit of rhythm to what we're doing. Hopefully we'll just continue with that."
So two wins plus three strong performances in losses -- that would make five games. Isn't that the same number of games Gasol was sidelined?

Last Wednesday was my last class for Course 3 of Wilton's Cake Decorating series. It's a bittersweet feeling. I really enjoyed all of the classes, but I will also be really happy to have my Wednesday evenings back and to have more time to bake on my own.
I think that Course 3 was my favorite out of all of the classes because we learned how to cover a cake in fondant, as well as how to make all kinds of lovely, delicate gumpaste flowers. Even though buttercream tastes better, I definitely enjoy making flowers out of gumpaste and fondant more than using buttercream. It's so much cleaner and easier to shape exactly the way you want it.
Our last class session was hectic and most of us didn't have enough time to finish decorating our cakes after covering them in fondant. I think that my cake turned out pretty well considering that it was my first time covering a cake in fondant, but I did learn a couple of things:
- 1. Even though swiss meringue buttercream is beautifully smooth and delicious for a non-fondant covered cake, it's not as easy to cover a cake with fondant that's frosted with SMB because it doesn't crust. I had frosting all over my hands at the end of and my fondant looked bumpy because of the softness of the SMB.
- 2. Don't be scared to take the plunge and cut the fondant once it's smoothed and draped! The longer you wait, the more chance it will tear. Most of us had at least one tear in the fondant on our cake.
- 3. Use rubber gloves with handling fondant, or scrub, scrub, scrub your hands. If you don't, you will see every little fiber and speck on your fondant cake. Fondant absorbs EVERYTHING when you work with it.
- 4. Don't overuse shortening with your fondant, or else it will become brittle and hard to work with. It will also dry less smooth.
I think I will be making another fondant cake in the near future, but I will probably not use Wilton fondant. I have not yet tried making my own cooked fondant- only marshmallow fondant. I have heard that Satin Ice is sort of the go to fondant for professional cake shops, though.
My favorite part of this cake is all of the flowers. Out of all of the flowers we learned to make, I think I will use the rose the most. They are beautiful, delicate and not that time consuming to make. The daisies and mums were also pretty easy and really cute. The most time consuming flower we made was the carnation (not picture) because it had so many layers.
Overall, I would encourage anyone who is interested to take these courses. Since I live in the Los Angeles area, I took mine at the Continuing Education center at Santa Monica College. This was really great because each class session is actually 3 hours, versus 2 hours at Michael's Crafts.
Happy decorating and baking!

Alan Kay
From OLPC
Alan Kay is best known for his early work on object-oriented programming using the Smalltalk language which resulted in his Dynabook concept. His concept has never been fully implemented although a modern tablet PC running Squeak comes close. He is one of the core team that produced Squeak and he has also created another Smalltalk based project in 3 dimensions, Croquet. He has also done work in constructionist education.
This book chapter on Personal Dynamic Media shows what Alan was working on in 1977.
And in this essay he describes what the Etoys activity is all about OLPCEtoys.pdf
In 1987, while at Apple, he created a video called Knowledge Navigator to demonstrate his vision of fully interactive computing.

Beasts of the Southern Wild (US - BD RA)
Gabe reviews the year's most buzzed about independent feature...
Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) is a six-year-old force of nature in an isolated bayou community. When her tough but loving father Wink (Dwight Henry) succumbs to a mysterious malady, the fierce and determined girl bravely sets out on a journey to the outside world. But Hushpuppy's quest is hindered by a 'busted' universe that melts the ice caps and unleashes an army of prehistoric beasts. (From Fox's official synopsis)
First-time feature director Benh Zeitlin's Beasts of the Southern Wild is stylistically filmic free jazz, yet it's not an unwieldy or laborious art-house experience. It moves at a vigorous pace and flows effortlessly between hyper-natural vignettes without demanding anything more than the most basic degree of attention from its audience. The audience is challenged not by content, aside from some occasionally grueling glimpses at Hushpuppy's trials, but in dealing with the themes from a subjective point of view. The surface experience is smooth, but beneath its deceptive simplicity is a whole squirming mass of socio-political questions that can be approached from diametrically-opposed political persuasions. If you tend to lean left you might see a film that calls attention to a group of people that have been forgotten by a capitalistic society that doesn't care ("The most important thing I can teach you is you gotta learn to take care of people smaller and sweeter than you are"). You might also find a potent environmental message. If you tend to lean right you might see a group of poor people that are proving exactly how much they don't need or even want social assistance. And these are just my simplifications of the socio-political discussions; God only knows how many contrasting theories are running around that concern this group's perceived 'terrorist' actions. Unfortunately, Beasts of the Southern Wild's most obscure qualities likely remain cryptic, because they require the kind of debate that most of us don't have, outside of screaming matches on Facebook or Twitter.
Beasts of the Southern Wild is also brimming with absolute truth and a prodigious understanding of the human condition that slides above the introspective and highly personal 'core' readings ("Everyone loses the thing that made them."). The number of things I personally have in common with Hushpuppy are so minimal that they aren't even worth counting, yet I understand who she is to the point that I feel like I personally know her by the end of the film's brief, 93-minute run-time. Zeitlin's comprehension of a child's view of the world rivals even the most celebrated fictional explorations of the subject. The big difference is that Beasts of the Southern Wild rarely breaks into a special effects-driven version of Hushpuppy's worldview. The closest Zeitlin gets to something like Spike Jonze's or Michel Gondry's surrealistic representations of juvenile visions are the cutaways to check in on the prehistoric Aurochs – creatures whose thematic significance is questionable beyond whatever they represent to Hushpuppy herself, which is really another subjective mystery, at least by the way it's presented in the context of the film.
I even find myself understanding Wink, despite his mostly despicable behavior throughout the film, and the other residents of The Bathtub, despite their lack of character development. This simple sympathy rises partly from the film's mythological storytelling roots, but even more from Zeitlin's cinéma vérité shooting style, which apes the approach of a documentary feature. The lines between fact and fiction are further blurred by the use of amateur actors and Zeitlin's refusal to watch dailies, both of which create an authentically spontaneous experience. The faux-reality creates a successful character development shorthand, making it easy to just assume these are real people. Fernando Meirelles did something similar with his seminal Brazilian crime flick City of God, which also explores a forgotten subset of humanity. Cidade de Deus and The Bathtub are spiritual siblings that represent the best and worst of the poorest communities within their respective countries. Of course, the key differences between Meirelles' and Zeitlin's films are almost as important as their similarities – City of God is a narrative retelling of actual events, while Beast of the Southern Wild is a more impetuous and only based for on anthropological facts, City of God aims to recreate reality, while Beasts of the Southern Wild is a vérité fairy tale, and, perhaps most important, City of God is absolutely not appropriate for children, while Beasts of the Southern Wild is perfectly suitable for kids (cool kids) – the tonal and creative parallels are too delicious to pass up.
However, I can think of two more apt films to couple with Beasts of the Southern Wild, each of which would create a very different double-feature experience. My first thought is Byambasuren Davaa's Cave of the Yellow Dog, the underseen story of the oldest daughter of a Mongolian nomad family, who finds a stray dog while collecting yak dung and brings it home (it's available on Netflix streaming for the curious). Again, my comparisons are largely cosmetic – both films follow a non-actor child through an alien culture in a vérité manner that speaks to the homogenous nature of humanity. Davaa's film isn't particularly lively or politically infused (as far as I can tell), but her relatively plotless look at nomad life is a nice, subdued mirror to Zeitlin's film. My second thought is Spike Lee's two-part documentary on the Hurricane Katrina tragedy, When the Levees Broke (which, I suppose, makes for more of a triple feature). I may be thinking too literally here, but Zeitlin's choice of locale simply must be meant to evoke the Katrina floods, while The Bathtub residence anarchic reactions to the 'civilized world' paint a dramatically subversive and reactive picture that echoes the real human tragedy of Lee's documentary.
Beasts of the Southern Wild is, as stated above, a rough, cinéma vérité experience. To press this idea, Zeitlin and cinematographer Ben Richardson shot the film while using smaller format 16mm film, which doesn't make for the most indelible 1080p, 1.85:1 home video experience. The film tends to alternate between extremely dark sequences and blown out daylight sequences, focus is pulled willy-nilly in a frantic attempt to capture the frenetic actions of the actors, and the heavy grain of the format tends to overwhelm on occasion. But, the experience here is more or less identical to the one I had in theaters, so I can't blame this disc for messing anything up. Detail levels are quite sharp in close-up, which works well for the compositions, though the continuously moving camerawork and fluctuating focus doesn't keep anything sharp too long. Long shot details are pretty limited, but rarely mushy and never shimmering with compression artefacts. Besides the intended texture of the film grain, artefacts really aren't a problem, not even the minor edge enhancement that often goes along with the 16mm format. Colour quality is mixed, mostly due to Zeitlin and Richardson use of natural lighting. The base palettes are earthy browns for The Bathtub and cold grays and blues of the 'modern' world. Each palette features its share of poppy elements, mostly yellows and reds, but the punch of forest greens are the most vibrant examples of 16mm's colour capabilities.
This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack does its job very efficiently and has a few nice surprises I missed when I saw the film in theaters, but nothing ever jumps out beyond the film's low-maintenance expectations. There's plenty of directional enhancement speckled throughout the film, starting with the introductory party and its poppy, booming, multi-channel aggressiveness. Storm and flooding sequences bellow nicely as well with an eclectic use of different rain sounds and the Auroch sequence features quite a bit of grumbling bass, especially when they're broken out of their icy prisons. But the overall mix is made to sound natural, like a real documentary would be, so the majority of the noise is subtle, inconsistent in terms of volume levels (aside from Hushpuppy's narration), and relatively centered. The sound design cleverly mixes some of the natural sounds, specifically from Hushpuppy's point-of-view, like when she puts animals up to her ear to listen to their hearts, but the absolute most expressive use of the stereo and surround enhancement comes out of the music. The score blends traditional Cajun folk influences with original compositions by Zeitlin and producer/composer Dan Romer (neither of which have worked on a feature-length motion picture before). The music is presented in a live-recording style that gives it a driving force and intertwined immediacy with the soundtrack's effects work, creating a swirl of noise that sits nicely beneath Hushpuppy's narration.
Extras begin with The Making of Beasts of the Southern Wild (22:30, HD), a relatively raw look behind the scenes, including an exploration of the real Bathtub of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, the casting process, rehearsals, rewriting the script with the cast, production design, special effects, creature design, and the film's Sundance rollout. This was a truly independent production made by a group of friends and family with little professional experience, which makes for a delightfully personal and warm, slice-of-life featurette. There are no direct interviews, but the whole thing is narrated by Terrence McKnight. Up next is Glory at Sea (24:40, HD) a short film Zeitlin directed in 2008 that follows the themes and styles of Beasts of the Southern Wild quite closely. It's sort of a wind-up for feature-length aspirations, but could also be taking place alongside the events of Hushpuppy and Wink's journey. The disc also features a promo for the musical soundtrack (3:00, HD) with producer Michael Gottwald, composer Dan Romer, and director/composer Zeitlin, a featurette on the history of the Aurochs (3:10, HD) with Zeitlin and co-writer Lucy Alibar, deleted/extended scenes with commentary by Zeitlin (14:00, HD), audition footage of Quvenzhané Wallis and Dwight Henry (15:20, SD), and trailers.
I just read a wonderful synopsis of Beasts of the Southern Wild via John Waters, who names it his sixth favourite film of the year. He states:'Directed as if the film crew snuck aboard a Weather Channel boat during Hurricane Katrina, kidnapped the skipper, hijacked the storm chasers' equipment, swam ashore, and made a boldly original movie.' I like that. I spent a lot of time comparing the film to other films in my review, but in reality it's a unique vision and I hope co-writer/co-composer/director Benh Zeitlin and his Court 13 comrades continue to build upon their unique characteristics for future releases. This Blu-ray release is somewhat limited by the quality of the 16mm film, but still looks pretty sharp and sounds quite good in DTS-HD MA sound. The extras are kind of brief, but cover the important bases of this peculiar production.
* Note: The images on this page are not representative of the Blu-ray image quality.

I thought it was a very pretty movie, but the whole Noble Savage thing threw me right off.
Gabe Powers Editor Join Date: September 2004 Location: United States Posts: 4,721
That's a slippery slope mentality to major political correctness-ville. I don't think the film presents anyone as particularly noble outside of maybe Hushpuppy.
mlcm Member Join Date: November 2006 Location: Canada Posts: 947
Ah yes, the traditional "PC GONE MAD" defense, as I like to call it. The film presents these people's lives are more meaningful and magical and closer to nature than the inevitable but hollow urban rush rush rush. This movie is classic Noble Savage — albeit impeccably filmed and wonderfully acted.
Gabe Powers Editor Join Date: September 2004 Location: United States Posts: 4,721
So it's not a matter of race, then? I also still don't see them as particularly noble throughout the film. Stubborn, perhaps. I came away thinking nature kind of hates them, actually. I think it's much more of a political meaning, which, as I said, can be read into more than one way, and less of a straight play on the noble savage trope.

With an ideal mix of power, brawn and refinement, the 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty is a top pick for a heavy-duty truck.
The 2011 Ford F-250 represents the entry-level Super Duty, but don't think for a second that it is not up to very demanding tasks. The 2011 F-250 features new exterior styling to go along with its increased ability to get the job done. Behind the blocky grille is space for the choice of two new V8 engines -- a 6.2-liter gasoline mill or a stout 6.7-liter "PowerStroke" turbodiesel. The big diesel will certainly be the engine of choice for the majority of owners who plan on towing trailers or equipment, as it churns out an impressive 800 pound-feet of torque. This kicks the F-250's towing capacity up to 16,500 pounds for fifth-wheel applications.
We're also duly impressed by the Super Duty's flexibility that allows it to be configured for a variety of uses -- from a down-and-dirty work truck to a luxurious hauler. Also noteworthy is the increased fuel economy and lower emissions from the diesel power plant. Regardless of which route you choose, you'll also be treated to class-leading refinement, comfort and capabilities that set the benchmark for other manufacturers to follow.
Choosing a heavy-duty truck these days is tough, however, especially with the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and GMC Sierra twins also receiving a redesign this year and the 2011 Ram 2500still benefiting from its own update last year. You're certainly not going to go wrong with any of these trucks, so much of your choice will come down to brand preference and pricing. But we think quite highly of the 2011 Ford F-250 and certainly give a strong recommendation.
The 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty is available as a regular cab, SuperCab (extended cab) or crew cab body style. The SuperCab features two smaller rear-opening rear doors, while the crew cab has four full-size doors. SuperCab and crew cab models are available with either a short (6.75-foot) or long (8-foot) bed, but the regular cab model is only available with the long bed.
Buyers may choose among four trim levels: the base XL, XLT, Lariat and King Ranch. The Lariat is available on SuperCab and crew cab models, while the King Ranch is only offered with the crew cab. The XL is the workhorse of the stable, with standard equipment that includes 17-inch steel wheels, a black grille and bumpers, manual-telescoping trailer tow mirrors, air-conditioning, vinyl floor coverings and upholstery, a 40/20/40-split front bench, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and a two-speaker AM/FM radio.
Stepping up to the XLT will add a chrome grille and bumpers, heated outside mirrors, cast-aluminum wheels, cruise control, full power accessories, keyless entry, an integrated trailer brake controller, a carpeted floor, cloth seats, lockable second-row under-seat storage with a power point and a four-speaker stereo with CD/MP3 player and auxiliary audio jack.
The Lariat trim level adds foglights, power-telescoping mirrors, rear parking sensors, 18-inch wheels, a power rear sliding window, chrome tubular step bars, dual-zone automatic climate control and upgraded interior upholstery. Also standard is a 4.2-inch LCD multifunction screen, wood grain trim, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, power-adjustable pedals, leather seats, a middle front seat that converts into a center console, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, the Ford Sync voice activation system and an eight-speaker audio system with satellite radio.
The range-topping King Ranch piles on power-folding mirrors, two-tone paint, a body-colored grille with chrome insert, unique exterior and interior badging, remote start, upgraded Chapparal leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, driver seat memory and a rearview camera.
Some features on the Lariat and King Ranch trims are available on the XL and XLT models. Other add-ons (depending on trim level) include 20-inch wheels, a stowable bed extender, a transmission power take-off (for powering accessories like snow plows), heavy-duty alternators, fifth-wheel mounting points (compatible with Reese hitch units), roof clearance lights, a spray-in bedliner, a sunroof, integrated accessory switches and a hard-drive-based navigation system.
The available Ford Work Solutions package is offered on XL and XLT models and adds an in-dash computer that is customizable to suit commercial users and fleets. Also available is the FX4 Off-Road package that includes an electronic locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, hill descent control, underbody skid plates and Rancho shock absorbers.
Buyers of the 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty are given the choice of either a 6.2-liter gasoline V8 or an optional 6.7-liter diesel-fueled V8. The gas engine produces 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque. Early F-250 models with the diesel made 390 hp and 735 lb-ft; this was later upgraded to 400 hp and 800 lb-ft of torque. Ford says the upgrade can be applied to the early-built models for free at any Ford dealership. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and can be had in rear-wheel- or four-wheel-drive variants.
Properly equipped, the F-250 Super Duty can tow up to 14,000 pounds with a conventional trailer setup. When configured for fifth-wheel towing, that figure jumps to 16,500 pounds. Maximum payload capacity tops out at 4,050 pounds.
The 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty comes standard with four-wheel antilock disc brakes, stability control, trailer sway control, hill launch assist, side and side curtain airbags and an SOS post-crash alert system. An integrated trailer brake controller is standard on XLT and higher models, while the Lariat trim level adds rear parking sensors and power-adjustable pedals. A rearview camera is optional on the XLT and Lariat and standard on the King Ranch model.
We were already impressed with the 2010 Super Duty's ride and comfort, and the 2011 Ford F-250 has managed to impress us even further. Compared to the competition, the Ford Super Duty line is noticeably quieter, with wind and road noise pleasantly silenced. Even the trademark diesel clatter has been reduced to barely detectable levels. As with any heavy-duty pickup, the ride can be a bit jittery when unloaded, but the F-250 remains well-mannered over the rough stuff. The chief downside to the Ford's dynamics is the steering, which feels numb and is slow compared to its more agile rivals.
Towing is a big part of the Super Duty's capabilities, and the new 6.7-liter PowerStroke diesel will likely be the engine of choice. Even when lugging a 10,000-pound trailer up a steep grade, the diesel climbs with ease -- never laboring or hunting among gears. Drivers may also selectively lock out higher gears to ensure optimal towing prowess. Descending is also made simple thanks to a well-managed automatic transmission that seems to select just the right gear at the right time.
Most of the 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty's interior carries over from the previous model, featuring a blocky, industrial theme. Compared to the offerings from Dodge and GM, the Ford's cabin is beginning to look a little long in the tooth. Hard plastics abound throughout the interior on lower trim levels, but are on par or better than other trucks in this segment. Opting for the Lariat or King Ranch models will add a decidedly upscale experience with rich leather and added amenities.
New for 2011, the F-250 adds a lockable bin under an available front center bench seat, which also folds to serve as an armrest. Another lockable bin is located under the rear seats that can easily accommodate longer items (like a hunting rifle) and also features a 12-volt power point. Another nifty addition is a 4.2-inch LCD multifunction display placed in the instrument panel. This display allows the driver to customize settings and relays trip computer, fuel economy, towing and off-road information.

Saitek GM2400 Laser Mouse Review
Computer mice have been around since the 1980's and most people reading this site probably remember the first generation of mice that they used. Yes, I'm talking about the horrid ball mice. Thankfully, most of us no longer use a ball mouse, but rather an optical mouse that instead of "feeling" the user's movement, "sees" it. Since its inception, optical mice have become more and more complex and powerful, which is good for everyone, and especially gamers. With the newer laser mice of the past few years, more and more accurate pointing is possible, making it easier and easier for you to get the ever beloved headshot. Since getting the right mouse can mean the difference between being the hunter and being the hunted in many games, it is a very important decision, and through reading this and other reviews, you should be able to get a very good idea of what mouse could be your weapon of choice.
The Saitek GM2400 Laser Mouse is one of Saitek's newer, high end mice. A laser driver allows the mouse to reach a resolution of 2400 DPI and is adjustable on the fly. An ergonomic design gives you comfortable access to six configurable buttons that are along the sides and top of the mouse. A combination of using lightweight material and using PTFE feet allows the mouse to slide along pretty much any surface. I plan on testing all these features of the GM2400 in this review and hope that it can help you make an informed decision about what mouse will be your new pointing device.
Closer Look:
The GM2400 comes in a cardboard box that shows off the mouse through a plastic cover. Also, the cover points out several of the mouse's features, such as the 2400 adjustable DPI, its laser engine, and the fact that it is programmable. On the back, the features are listed again, not only in English, but other languages as well. It also has a screen shot of the software that we will look at later and a list of the box contents.
On the sides of the box, there are pictures of the GM2400, as well as the technical specifications. There isn't really a whole lot on the top or bottom of the box, so this is the meat of what you can see from the outside.
Now let's open this box up and get our hands on the GM2400 itself.

Crime Report: New Year's Day Stabbing
A New Years Day dispute between a girlfriend and a boyfriend ended with the boyfriend being taken to the hospital for stab wounds, according to this week's Arlington County crime report.
The incident took place in the Columbia Heights West neighborhood. The girlfriend, 32-year-old Griselda Saravia, was arrested and charged with stabbing her boyfriend in the arm with a kitchen knife.
UNLAWFUL WOUNDING, 01/01/13, 800 block of S. Frederick Street. At 4:40pm on January 1, a victim and his girlfriend got into a verbal altercation. The argument quickly escalated and the suspect stabbed her boyfriend in the arm with a kitchen knife. The victim was able to break free and call the police. He was later transported to Virginia Hospital Center for medical treatment of the stab wound. Griselda Y. Saravia, 32, of Arlington, VA was arrested and charged with unlawful wounding.

LAWRENCE — New figures show that the number of charter schools in Kansas has been declining, with only 11 still operating.
In 2012, Kansas had 15 charter schools, which receive public funding but are usually managed by outside boards or private companies. The Lawrence Journal-World reports (http://bit.ly/15lSUvq) there were 33 in 2010.
Charter school supporters say they're intended to provide competition to the public school system, offering different management and a different educational approach. Supporters of traditional schools say while charter schools can offer an alternative for some students, they also siphon off public funds that could be used to improve all schools.
Jessica Noble, who coordinates charter and virtual school programs for Kansas, said many school districts are choosing to convert the charter schools back into regular schools.
