We Can Stop Talking About Race --- Problem Solved
By Roger Simon
It was an exhausting, draining, demanding experience. And it lasted for more than a week.
In the 10 days or so since George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin, all we have heard about is race, race, race.
Which happens to be America's favorite subject not to talk about.
We talk about race only at moments of crisis, when it cannot be avoided. Otherwise, race is something that, as a nation, we wish we didn't have to discuss at all. Sort of like the Vietnam War, only more so.
I am talking about white America, of course. For black people and other minorities, race is something they have to confront on a daily basis. But even though we have a black president, that doesn't mean he wants to lead a national conversation about race. Far from it.
As David Maraniss, the Washington Post associate editor and brilliant biographer, wrote a few days ago, Barack Obama, once having been intensely interested in race, changed after his election to the presidency in 2008.
"Race seemingly became unimportant, if not irrelevant, to the first black president of the United States," Maraniss wrote. "He rarely spoke about it, only when circumstances pressed him — once when a notable African American Harvard professor was detained by a cop for forcibly entering his own home after being locked out, and again when a jury found the man who shot Martin not guilty."
Yet the president spoke movingly and personally about race in an unexpected appearance in the White House briefing room on Friday. In some ways, I liked this talk more than the famous "A More Perfect Union" speech that he delivered in Philadelphia on March 8, 2008, in order to confront and distance himself from the racial comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
That speech came at a time of political crisis. The Zimmerman acquittal was a different kind of crisis. There had been demonstrations, and President Obama could not afford to have them grow into riots. But he also wanted white America to understand what black America was going through post-verdict.
The most quoted line was "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago." But Obama went on: "And when you think about why, in the African-American community at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it's important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that — that doesn't go away."
It doesn't. Talking about it goes away, but living it does not. "There are very few African-Americans who haven't had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off," Obama said. "That happens often."
It doesn't even have to come from strangers. In his 2008 speech, Obama talked about his white grandmother, a "woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."
These are difficult, emotional and often searing experiences that Obama talked about. So should we all talk about it? Should Americans of all races talk about it?
Here, the president said, things get tricky.
"You know, there has been talk about should we convene a conversation on race," he said Friday. "I haven't seen that be particularly productive when politicians try to organize conversations."
Obama didn't say it, but Bill Clinton launched a grandiose "President's Initiative on Race" in his second term that was supposed to lead to a meaningful national conversation on the subject, but ended up largely a failure and is little remembered today.
So let's forget "politicians" trying to organize talk about race, Obama said. Instead, he said "in families, churches and workplaces," people could be "a little bit more honest."
"At least you ask yourself your own questions about, am I wringing as much bias out of myself as I can; am I judging people, as much as I can, based on not the color of their skin but the content of their character?" the president said. "That would, I think, be an appropriate exercise in the wake of this tragedy."
In my opinion he is absolutely correct. And I can see such deep, serious and difficult discussions taking place across this nation approximately never.
Such conversations need impetus, leadership and discipline to avoid people just shouting past each other, as they do on Twitter and cable TV.
Obama has already found another subject. A White House release announced over the weekend that Obama would spend this week on a "series of speeches that will lay out his vision for rebuilding an economy that puts the middle class and those fighting to join it front and center."
Race? That box has been checked. Race is so ... last week.
And now we can move on as a nation to resume our national silence.

Major League Soccer (MLS) announced this week a groundbreaking new partnership with the United Soccer Leagues Professional Division (USL PRO) aiming to enhance the development of professional players in North America.
As part of the structural shake-up, Whitecaps FC Reserves will take on USL PRO club Richmond Kickers in a two-match home-and-away series this coming season.
Vancouver will travel to Richmond, Virginia, to take on the Kickers at City Stadium on Saturday, June 22, before welcoming them for the return game in Vancouver on Tuesday, July 23. The venue for the match in Vancouver is yet to be confirmed.
The July 23 match could see the return of former Whitecaps FC Homegrown player Philippe Davies, who is currently plying his trade with Richmond.
The 'Caps will continue to play in the MLS Reserve League's Western division. Additionally, as per the agreement between MLS and USL Pro, the results of the two matches against Richmond will count towards the standings in both the MLS Reserve League and USL PRO. So in plain terms, these matches will matter, for both teams.
As part of the agreement, MLS clubs will also have the opportunity to either establish a formal affiliation with a USL PRO team, or to continue to have a team in the MLS Reserve League. If teams decide to enter into an affiliation they will be required to send out four MLS players on loan and will automatically forgo their team in the MLS Reserve League.
One such affiliation that has already between agreed upon is between the 'Caps USL PRO opponents, Richmond Kickers, and DC United. The two clubs - who are seperated by approximately 100 miles - had already begun their relationship. That connection saw former 'Caps striker Long Tan move on loan to Richmond to gain experience during the 2012 season.
It is hoped that in the years ahead the partnership between MLS and USL PRO will aid player development and help to better structure professional soccer in North America.
"This new partnership with MLS will elevate and strengthen the level of competition for domestic professional soccer," USL CEO Alec Papadakis said. "As a result, we expect this partnership will forge a seamless system for the development of players and coaches, and promote the expansion of professional soccer into new North American markets."
Whitecaps FC Reserves will benefit from additional competitive matches, especially if the integration of the MLS Reserve League and USL Pro increases over the coming years.

Russian stocks are up today, for the fifth day in a row and at the highest level in two weeks. What's going on? As we wrote here earlier in the week, foreign investors have been fleeing this market. However it could be that some of them are starting to put aside concerns about the potential for further sanctions on Moscow and are scouring Russia's stock markets for contrarian buying opportunities.

We're in the process of setting up a kickstarter fundraising campaign as well. I'll post back here when it's ready to go....

Just an update: We videotaped a short intro for kickstarter at practice today. nothing fancy or anything, just us in the practice room with me talking about the album a little. Brandon just has to edit the video tonight and then I'll finalize setting up the campaign tomorrow hopefully. And then we have to be "approved" by Kickstarter. I'm not not sure how long that process takes but I think it shouldn't be more than a couple of days. So everything should be ready to go by mid week, knock on wood
We've got lots of cool incentives and as as an added bonus I'm going to set up a pay-what-you-want download on our website for Feathers for Flesh to coincide with the campaign launch.
We are also going to bring the video camera into the recording sessions when they start in April and take little videos of the process so people can see glimpses of the process. Maybe we'll stage a big band blow up fight for extra drama

Red Masque will release their new album, Mythalogue, in early 2013. This April they'll start recording at Orion Sound Studios with Mike Potter as engineer and Bob Drake doing the mix.
The band has started a Kickstarter campaign to help fund this album.
Here's their description of the album and the Kickstarter campaign:
Mythalogue by The Red Masque
The Red Masque is an avant rock / progressive rock band from Philadelphia. We've been around, in one form or another, since 2001. We've released one EP plus three studio albums and one (download-only) live album in that time.
We are going to head back into the studio in April 2012 and will be recording at Orion Sound Studios in Baltimore with Mike Potter as an engineer. Acclaimed musician and producer Bob Drake is mixing the album. The album, titled Mythalogue, will include such tracks as "The Dark Salt Sea", "The Wendigo", "The Song for Icarus", "The Minotaur" and "The Labyrinth" (an improvisation), as well as some audio surprises. Mythalogue is a thematic album using world mythology as inspiration. Lyrical content can be found on the band's discography page on their website atwww.theredmasque.com/music.html.
The money that we are asking for will fund the recording / mixing / production costs associated with the recording. The total recording costs will actually be more than 1500 dollars, but this amount would greatly help the band fund the project without having to rob our savings accounts :). If we receive funding over the goal, or if there is any left over, we will put it toward band costs (like rehearsal room rental etc.).
Please note: We don't have an exact release date for Mythalogue at this time - it's looking like it will be early 2013 but exact release date will depend on the label's release schedule TBD. We will update backers as we have more information.

We will also be taking the video camera into the recording studio with us and posting updates as we come along. We'll be posting these updates here and on our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/The.Red.Masque
Thank YOU!
The Band wishes to thank every person that donates to this fund drive. We love you! (Even if Cthulhu does not!).
BONUS Pay-What-You-Want Download Now Available: As an added bonus / thank you present, we've made our second album, "Feathers for Flesh" (2004), available as a pay-what-you-want download off of our site. Enjoy! http://www.theredmasque.com/feathers-for-flesh.html
Thank you,
The Red Masque

now that I think about it that is interesting cause black hole singularities are defined to have infinite density and zero volume, which sounds like what is happening as mass is accelerated near light speeds.
That is most likely a result of the fact that black holes are a result of a star collapsing into it's own mass basically. That all has to do with huge gravitational force, thus, the fact of a black hole having the ability to even suck in light. It is strongly believed that the light actually becomes trapped like every other particle that comes in contact with the black holes gravitanional field. The tricky question, and one that remains unanswered due to lack of appropriate physic theories being in existance, is what actually HAPPENS inside the black hole. Could it be that all the mass/particles etc. that are sucked into it are simply transformed into another form of matter or energy? (e.g. Gamma & X-Rays) . We can only hope that brilliant minds will pop along sometime in the (hopefully near) future to give us the asnwer.
a very nice read indeed. Try out the ones released by stephen hawking's aswell, they don't use maths (and when they do they're simple enough if you're into this sort of thing) and they certainly will make your mind spin (pun intended) in completely different ways than the ones you might be used to up until now.Elegant universe

Katie Couric revealed this week that the possibility of reuniting with Matt Lauer on "Today" was talked about at one time.
Couric, who has her own syndicated talk show, "Katie," appeared on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show on Tuesday and talked about the possibility of she and her former co-anchor getting back together.
Stern told Couric that she should step in and straighten out the troubles at "Today," which began with the ousting of co-anchor Ann Curry last summer. Now the once top-rated morning show is trailing ABC's "Good Morning America."
"Matt and I had talked about teaming up and doing a show at some point. There were some cautious overtures to me to possibly come back to the "Today" show, but then they sort of evaporated," she said
Would she ever go back?
"Part of me, for me, that was the best job," she said as an answer.
She also spoke to Stern about the possibility of teaming with Lauer again, admitting that they have great chemistry. But, as she explained, "We have a brother-sister type relationship."
Stern recorded three hours of interview material with Couric last week. An edited one-hour version aired on her show Tuesday.

7-inch tablet and mid-range phone revealed
Thanks to its bizarre MWC teaser trailer, we know Huawei wants to make a splash at Mobile World Congress next week. And now we have a good idea what two of its new products will look like, as the Huawei MediaPad X1 and Ascend G6 have leaked out online ahead of their expected arrival in Barcelona. The MediaPad X1 is Huawei's latest 7-inch Android tablet, with previous leaks suggesting a the presence of a 1.6GHz quad-core CPU, a 1920x1200 display resolution, 6,000mAh battery, optional LTE connectivity and a price tag around $200. Images leaked today on Weibo show a white chassis with relatively trim bezels and an S View-like cover for the device.
Meanwhile Twitter leaker @evleaks has gotten hold of renders of the Huawei Ascend G6 — pictured after the break — the company's latest mid-range smartphone, which sports an Ascend P6-like look. Specs for the slim, multicolored handset are said to include a quad-core 1.3GHz CPU from Mediatek, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera and 5-megapixel front-facer.
We're still waiting for a good look at Huawei's new high-end handset, the Ascend P7, said in the company's teaser video to include all-day battery life, a high-quality front-facing camera, and support for next-gen LTE networks. No doubt we'll learn more at the Huawei MWC press conference this Sunday.

I normally wear a 27 and the 28 was a very nice snug fit....the shine is perfect! The zippers give the pant a biker look as well.....I would highly recommend this pant!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by FNP731 from Sexy, tons of compliments; go to larger size if in doubt I absolutely *love* these pants. I have only had them for a few weeks but have already received tons of compliments. The sheen they gave off is amazing without looking cheap. The material is incredibly comfy; I would wear these instead of regular jeans all the time if I could. I've washed them twice, and they've came out just fine. In terms of sizing, I think they're pretty true but I agree they are just a little bit on the tight/rigid size. I am 5'11" 138lbs., 36D-28-38 and was torn between ordering the 28 or 29. I went with the 29 and was glad I did. Keep in mind, these are skinny/tight pants; I highly recommend going with the next size up if you are at all between sizes. And yes, they are a little short on me, but I expected that and it doesn't bother me, as they are pretty low rise. You won't be disappointed! I just wish they made them in red or royal also.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Yuki89 from Looks great but... Freaking love it!!! looks great and its super sexy but the length is a little too long, I am 5 3" and I know I'm pretty short but I've never had a pair of pants or jeans this long.... Their great if your like 5"5 or above... :(

Rated 4 out of 5 by NikkieGiovanni from A bit rigid I am usually a 28 or a size Small in Bebe pants but these pants just would not give! I had to settle for the 29 partly because I refused to buy a 30 and partly because the store didnt have a 30. Usually jeather pants are a bit more stretchable and I have to go a size down but not these puppies

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jackie220 from Great pant, if your not short! I love these pants but being only 5'3 they are way too long for me :( so they are really bunchy at the bottoms even if I unzip them at the bottoms they are still really bunched. They are super cute and great for the price but just too long if your short unfortunately so I will be returning these.
Date published: 2012-12-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Azholne2 from Glam These leggings are fab. Even though I would just absolutely love for bebe to come out with real leather leggings. These are probably the next best thing though. So bebe if your listening in waiting for some real leather leggings!!!

Villarreal beats Granada 3-0 to move 3rd in Spain
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Ruben "Cani" Gracia set up two goals for Villarreal in a 3-0 win over Granada on Friday as it provisionally rose past Real Madrid and into third place in the Spanish league.
Also, Osasuna used an explosive first half to earn a 1-0 win at Malaga, its first away victory and second overall of the season.
Cani continued to show his excellent form this campaign by helping the promoted Villarreal ease to the victory at its El Madrigal Stadium.
The attacking midfielder first drew Granada's defense in the area before laying off for Bruno Soriano to volley in a left-footed shot at the half-hour mark.
And after Giovani Dos Santos toed in Jonathan Pereira's cross in the 49th minute, Cani passed for Tomas Pina to head in the hosts' final goal in the 82nd.
Villarreal is four points behind co-leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and one point ahead of Madrid before they play later this weekend.
"We had 10 scoring chances alone in the first half and two of our three goals were scored by midfielders," said Villarreal coach Marcelino Garcia. "It's satisfying because it means we don't rely on the scoring form of our strikers. This team is daring and we take advantage of that to score a lot of goals."
Granada entered the game tied for the league's best defense with only five goals allowed through seven rounds. But Villarreal's flowing attack had little trouble picking it apart, while Granada was limited to a pair of shots by substitute strikers Ivan "Riki" Rico-Sanchez and Odion Ighalo in the 57th and 58th.
Osasuna bossed the match in Malaga early on, arriving in waves and only being kept from a greater winning margin by Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero.
Caballero couldn't keep out striker Oriol Riera's second effort in the 23rd after he had blocked his first try from a dipping cross launched by Sisinio "Sisi" Gonzalez.
Malaga coach Bernd Schuster sent on reinforcements at halftime and his team greatly improved, but Osasuna held on to break Malaga's five-game unbeaten streak.
This weekend, Barcelona and Atletico both search for their eighth win in as many rounds with matches against Valladolid and Celta Vigo, respectively.
Also, it's: Levante vs. Real Madrid, Elche vs. Espanyol, Rayo Vallecano vs. Real Sociedad, Sevilla vs. Almeria, Getafe vs. Real Betis, and Athletic Bilbao vs. Valencia.

Hrm, not sure how I feel about Akasha's possible return. I can see the need for her return, since the situation is rapidly spiraling out of control for the heroes. And I'd love to see her punt Gyokuro into orbit, she's one of the few people on the planet who could possibly defeat her. Moka, no chance, she's too young and inexperienced to topple the mad matriarch.
But as others have said, it would seriously mess up the balance of power in the manga. The battles I loved the most was where the heroes truly had to struggle: like against Oyakata, Hokuto, Kahlua, the branch leaders, and the like. Watching one flawless one-hit kill victory after another would get boring, even though some would disagree because that's exactly what they want. Thankfully Akihisa doesn't pander to that crowd.
Though if Moka eventually succeeds her as a Bloodriver, that would be nice as well. It would also be a sign that Akasha can entrust the world to her loving daughter, and Tsukune to her. Very touching. Can't wait to find out in January. Until then...

At the moment, I see three possible directions the manga could take, after this arc ends:
1.) Something involving the Masked King who, either takes the Rosario from Gyokuro's possession and the Newspaper club starts searching for his whereabouts, to recover the Rosaro - or, retaliates in someway, against the Newspaper Club due to them preventing his plans from being achieved.
2.) Something involving Miyabi's plans, which are apparently different then what the main branch of Fairy Tale tried to do. Naturally Tsukune and the rest of the group, go out to try and prevent those plans from taking effect.
3.) And all out war between human and ayashi is about to burst out, due to Alucard's full recovery, and the fact that the group wasn't strong enough to prevent that - as a result they got a strong motivation to try and stop the emerging conflict from becoming a full scale open war - While I believe that this scenario has the least chances of becoming true, it still remains a possibility.

It is time for the almighty series tool for a twist, and that is..............
Something new is gonna reveil itself and completely dominate the enemy.
Oh don't get ya panties in a twist, it's gonna be one of those "I'll sacrifice myself to blah blah the blah" things, probably akasha is unsealed for a brief moment then either gives the/a protagonist power and cost the life of itself, or kills the big dragon eel thing by herself, both are likely, but they would probably have to deal with Ajuka by themselves, luckily for them she would probably have a mental breakdown.
Either choice 1:she breaks down in tears, thinking all the people she truly loved hates her, and her evil plan failed
Or choice 2: her face breaks into a wicked smile, her eyes become wide, and she starts laughing like she lost her mind(which she did) and turns herself into a bomb and tries to crash into Tokyo.
Both could end with someone hugging her, tskune or moka can do it, most likely moka, but tskune can if the writer wants to put in a stalker more deadly than mizore, but the second option could end with tossing her into the void/space.
What do you think?

I hate the fact that Issa was made a bad guy though I was hoping he would actually be a decent support character.

I'm not convinced of Issa being 'bad' just yet. Other than the 'Kill each other, my daughters' bit, he seemed like a decent fellow. Well, pretty decent for a vampire. He was the head of the Shuzen family back when Akasha was alive... Gyokuro obviously took over once Alucard woke up and almost rampaged. If anything, I bet Gyokuro claimed that having Akasha around 'weakened' him and so he was no longer fit to be the head any longer.
I still hold to the idea that he's playing along with Gyokuro for now.

Dragon King
Ears were burning she was being spoken of.
Well Rex supposes she should post, been a while. Creeping some of the posts see some hate for Vampire Knight. Ima have to defend it.
To rant on Vampire KNight, though shoujo is a heckuva lot more violent than RV and dark. So the comparison isn't there. RV keeps things pretty light. A lot of the vampiric mythology is shared, especially when it comes to ancient vampires like Alucard. I am wondering how far people have gotten to say such a strong word as hate. One can dislike it but without any reasons I could see, it seems to be disliked cause of certain scenes pegged out for certain audiences. Can't really compare Shoujous and Shounen. Apples to oranges: both are tasty, but in their own way.
As or some discussions going on, this one has to say that I don't think:
Spoiler for Spoiler Warning:
Not saying much and prolly won't respond since I just occasionally creep, but: there are times where I write something in a fic and it pops up in the manga. Ikeda-sensei is a true monster lover and you can tell. That breakdown for Akuha-chi is going to be hilarious, to me... (I'm a bit cruel and a slight S).
In the context of Issa:
Spoiler for Spoiler Alert:
Is my two cents, so don't bank on it. I'm allowed to rant on occasion, I did have to defend VK (and on RV from other fans) because bot beautifully follows mythology and is downright brutal and fluffy at times, I hold them dear. If you have reason to hate it by all means discuss, but I find the manga very similar, at least in terms of mythological context. I am one for story, art and content.

Comparing to most other series I've read, Rosario Vampire has changed the most. Meaning it started light, but have you not noticed the Lovecrafitian creations that have arose the latest chapters.....
....Its stunning, to say the least. Vampire Knight and Hellsing and what-not were always portrayed to be dark, but Rosario Vampire turned dark. In many cases that makes it more impactive.
I don't judge Vampire Knight because I haven't read much of it, its art isn't my cup of tea. Simple as that.

Let's not confuse serious for dark... yes we have Alucard and the tentacle things, but as Ou-Rex pointed out, it's still pretty light-hearted. We are entering what is called Shit Got Real, but it hasn't really gone extremely dark. If anyone here reads Needless, it's currently going through the same phase- shit is going down and the protagonists are practically screwed (though there does seem to be some set-up for a Chekhov's Gun). The overall tone of R+V has changed, but it's not dark... especially not when compared to certain other series (berserk being at the top of that list, and Claymore's somewhere in there as well)

Berserk was dark to begin with, and then it fell into the abyss - it's gone past just being 'dark'. Seriously, reading that will make you feel like crap on certain days - it's that bad. There's NO REASON for R+V to take that route, it's good where it is. I would say that R+V has gotten darker from it's time before but it was a more gradual, more natural progression. Ikeda-sensei did a good job taking it from how R+V started off and making it into what it is today.
Interesting note, if Ikeda had kept to his original proto-type of Rosario+Vampire, it most likely would have been a lot darker than it is now. Ura Moka was much more blood-thirsty and didn't have her 'pride' to get in her way of enjoying killing people. I can't remember if they were in a human school or not for the location.

A modern distribution system that feeds a facility having a significant environment of susceptible electronic equipment requires protection against lightning-induced overvoltages. And when an overhead power line — whether utility or end-user-owned — feeds that system, you need some sort of surge protection for the conductors on the riser pole that feed from the power line and connect into the service-entrance equipment. (See Sidebar, "Lightning and Underground Power and Signal Lines,".)
Let's talk about some critical design and installation rules you should follow when designing and installing a pole-mounted overvoltage protection scheme.
Sizing surge arresters. Here are some important parameters you must consider when sizing lightning surge arresters.
Ratings. The basic impulse insulation level (BIL) of a power cable decreases as it ages, making it more susceptible to overvoltages. Therefore, it's important that you optimize any cable protection to avoid insulation breakdown and arcing, which can induce noise into an internal distribution system.
In doing so, it's critical that you do not determine the rating of the required protection simply by matching the arrester discharge rating with the cable BIL rating. You must also consider the phenomenon of voltage doubling, where a traveling overvoltage wave reaches a point of high resistance, such as at an open switch in a circuit, and reflects back with an amplitude almost double that at the point of reflection.
Protective margin (PM). This parameter is a measure of a surge arrester's ability to protect a piece of equipment or a system. The calculation involves the BIL withstand rating of the item to be protected and the arrester discharge level, which is usually listed in product literature and/or nameplates as "10kA IR discharge voltage of xxkV."
Let's take a look at a sample PM calculation. Suppose you have power cables with 125kV BIL rating tapped from an overhead 24.9kV power line and feeding the primary of a padmount transformer. You want to know if a typical silicon-carbide (SiC) arrester mounted at the riser pole with a listed discharge level of 67kV is adequate.
At first glance, this arrester discharge level seems acceptable. But, if voltage doubling occurs within the cable, the surge voltage could rise to twice 67kV, or 134kV.
You can determine the PM by dividing the difference of the cable BIL rating minus twice the arrester discharge level and dividing the result by the cable's BIL. In other words, PM = (125kV - 134kV) ÷ 125kV = -9kV ÷ 125kV = -0.072. Rounding this value off, the PM is -7%. Because the PM is negative, you shouldn't use the SiC arrester because it cannot provide the required protection.
Some modern arresters, such as metal-oxide varistor (MOV) arresters, have lower and more consistent discharge protective levels than old-style SiC arresters. In fact, a typical MOV distribution arrester could have a 10kA IR discharge voltage of 59kV. So, if we double this rating, we get 118kV. Then, PM = (125kV - 118kV) ÷ 125kV = 7kV ÷ 125kV = 0.056 or approximately 6%.
Also, a typical MOV pole-mounted arrester, which is a higher-quality product, could have a 10kA IR discharge voltage of 52kV. Doubling this, we get 104kV. Then, PM = (125kV - 104kV) ÷ 125kV = 21kV ÷ 125kV = 0.168 or approximately 17%. These two types would provide adequate protection.
A note of caution here: The actual PM offered by an arrester will vary from the calculated PM value. This is because the surge protection industry calculates BIL margin percentages on the basis of the industry-standard 8×20-microsecond wave shape. (See March issue "Understanding Transients: A Primer" on page 38.) However, the actual wave shape of a lightning surge can be much faster than that of the 8×20-microsecond wave shape.
Surge arrester lead length. Lead length is a very important consideration in designing and/or installing the connections between pole-mounted surge arresters and medium-voltage (MV) cable terminators. PMs calculated from arrester catalog data don't include allowances for this variable.
Lead length is the combined length of the line lead and ground lead length in series with the arrester and in parallel with the device or cable being protected. For example, in Fig. 1 below, we see the arrester mounted near the MV cable stress termination, a line lead length of 12 inches, and a ground lead length also of 12 inches. So, the total arrester lead length is 24 inches.
The commonly accepted method of determining the effect of lead length on arrester operation is to use an inductance of 0.4 microHenries per foot of lead length and a lightning current rate-of-rise of 4000A per microsecond to determine L × di/dt voltage drop of the installation. Using this method, calculations show a 1.67kV addition to the discharge voltage of the arrester per foot of arrester lead length. This increase in discharge voltage actually reduces the extent of PM on the system.
In the installation shown in Fig. 1, the effective 10kV IR discharge voltage rating of the riser-pole arrester is increased from 52kV to 55.2kV as a result of the addition of 24 inches of lead length.
While this increase may appear relatively small, it's critical when you consider the voltage-doubling effect, as previously mentioned. Here, voltage doubling will reduce the BIL PM from approximately 17% to almost 12%. As you can see, it's very important that you keep the arrester lead length as short as possible in all arrester installations, especially in critical situations such as cable protection.
Figure 2 below shows a similar installation except that we take the line lead directly to the arrester before going to the MV cable stress termination. This virtually eliminates all arrester lead length on the line side since, by definition, no lead is in series with the arrester while being in parallel with the cable termination. The total lead length is reduced to 12 inches, which is the length of the ground lead.
Figure 3 below carries the length reduction one step further. Here, the arrester is mounted between the MV cable stress termination and the pole ground. This installation has zero line and zero ground lead length. As such, lead length has no detrimental effect on the protective characteristics of this installation.
Keep in mind that pole-mounted overvoltage protection is your first line of defense. To effectively apply a complete overvoltage protection system, you must coordinate your use of large-capacity current-diverting devices at the service entrance with progressively lower voltage-clamping devices. If not done properly, you run the risk of having any excess energy not handled by the upstream protection devices, damaging connected load equipment.
Lightning and Underground Power and Signal Lines. At first glance, running power and communications/control circuit conductors underground seems more practical, in terms of protecting susceptible electronic devices and equipment from lightning-induced voltage surges, than installing them overhead. This is not necessarily the case for two reasons:
The earth is a conductor, and
The vast majority of underground installations use nonmetallic conduits (sometimes concrete-encased) for physical protection.
For underground lines, it's hard to visualize a direct lightning strike. However, a phenomenon similar to the one affecting overhead lines does take place. As a result of lightning discharge, electromagnetic fields are induced not only on the surface of the earth but also in the earth itself. These fields, and the accompanying currents and voltages, diminish roughly as the square of the distance from the strike, and with the resistance of the soil.
This rapidly fluctuating field in the earth induces voltages and currents in nearby objects such as underground cables in nonmetallic conduits in duct banks. In turn, these induced voltages and currents create another electromagnetic field — one that opposes the field created by the lightning. A side flash of very high voltage then occurs to try to equalize the potentials of the fields, thereby inducing noise into underground circuits and possible ground loops that can corrupt communications and data circuit signals. This induced noise requires you to provide a further level of surge protection.
If you use rigid metallic conduit in a concrete duct bank, its effect is to shield the susceptible equipment circuits from these electromagnetic fields. Nonmetallic conduit does not provide this protection.

Deckers Nursery
Deckers nursery is a recently started, family owned business that came to fruition out of the owners passion for preserving, planting, and maintaining trees and landscapes. Conrad Decker is the owner/operator of Decker's Nursery. He is recognized as a "tree expert" and been working in the horticultural industry for over 20 years. It is the intention of the "Nursery" to share his experience and training; to help others with their landscape decisions.
Decker's Nursery provides a vast selection of trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials that are all purchased regionally. We promote products grown by Long Island farmers that perform better and minimize our carbon footprint.
We strive to be recognized as a horticultural resource center and display our committment to sustainable landscapes.
The target audience at this point in time is very local, and somewhat specific. The market does currently exist as the business was purchased from another family.
The nursery wants to help provide solutions to local homeowners for those who are looking for help so they can do it themselves, but we also provide comprehensive landscaping services to those interested in a full solution. As time goes on our market will grow outside as we try to attract visitors from a larger geographic area
* Need to keep existing logo
* PSD art file provided from winning designer
* Location to purchase any stock photography if necessary
* Completely open to designers creative thoughts
The site will have 5 main pages as outlined below. These pages will need to be accessible from all areas of the site. As we flesh the site out the need may arise for an additional layout, but at this point we need two main layouts. One for the homepage, and one for all interior pages.
* Home Page *
The homepage template will be used here. This page will be the main entry way into the rest of the site. The idea would be to give a brief overview of the nursery as well as a possibly some imagery to grab the visitors attention
* How Can We Help *
The interior page template will be used here. This page will explain the nursery as a retail outlet, but will also explain what services are offered.
* Coming Events *
The interior page template will be used here. Deckers nursery regularly hosts community events, knowledge transfer lectures, and seasonal sales that we want to inform our market about.
* Promotions *
The interior page template will be used here. Deckers nursery offers regular promotions (updated weekly and monthly) that will be portrayed to our market
* Contact Us *
The interior page template will be used here. Simple contact info will reside on this page
All of these pages will reside on the site, but at this point in time we're only looking at two different layout designs
Deckers nursery was started approximately 1 year ago. The existing website was put up as an initial solution to the immediate need of having an online presence and has sufficed in the beginning phases of gaining recognition as a trusted nursery resource.
The overall feel of the current site is inline with the personality that were trying to portray online for the nursery. The design is simple and clean and very easy to navigate. The layout fits our content well as there isn't an abundance of it at this point and that likely isn't going to change over the next year. The only content that will change on occasion is a specials page that will have monthly product specials posted.
The downside of the existing site is that it does have a templated feel to it. It was purchased from a template site, as I mentioned it was great to start with but we have a desire to improve the overall design that falls more into a custom look around the existing logo.

When it hit the market in fall 1992, the SCARPA Terminator changed the game in telemark skiing. The world's first plastic tele boot, the Terminator improved performance, durability and protection from the elements, not to mention changed people's ideas about how backcountry-skiing gear could and should work.
Direct heir to the Terminator, today's SCARPA T1 telemark ski boot is still regarded as the vanguard in plastic telemark boots. That's a distinguished pedigree. And – while there's been a lot of progression and design upgrades over the years to continue to improve performance in the T1 (keep on reading for what they are) and all of the Terminator-series boots – it's interesting, and amazing, how much the original Terminator got right more than 20 years ago when it first hit the market.
The current 2013 T1 is still one of the most sought-after performance telemark ski boots in the world. Used by progressive tele skiers like like Jake Sakson and Paul Kimbrough, the T1 sets the bar for all-around performance in four-buckle 75 mm telemark boots. SCARPA has also evolved the T1 into a boot that works for the new Rottefella NTN binding system, the Terminator X Pro.

The Battle of White Mountain, November 8, 1620 (Bílá hora is the name of White Mountain in Czech) was an early battle in the Thirty Years' War in which an army of 20,000 Bohemians and mercenaries under Christian of Anhalt were routed by 25,000 men of the combined armies of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor under Karel Bonaventura Buquoy and of the Catholic League under Johan Tzerclaes, Count of Tilly at Czech Bílá Hora, near Prague (now part of it). The battle marked the end of the Bohemian period of the Thirty Years' War.
Initially the revolt of the Protestants in Bohemia went well, and they broke out of their isolated political position by electing Frederick V, Elector Palatine as their king. But things changed when Maximilian I, Duke of Bavaria regrouped the forces of the Catholic League. He sent Tilly straight to Prague.
The Bohemian commander, Christian Anhalt, assembled his troops, and deployed them on the slopes of a hill (Bílá Hora in Czech, Weißer Berg in German, both meaning White Mountain) blocking the road to Prague. His troops occupied a solid position, with his right flank covered by a hunting castle, his left covered by a brook, and a small brook with some moors in front of them.
According to some reports, a monk brought along a picture of St. Mary, which had been defaced by the Protestants, which incited furor among the Catholic troops.
Tilly observed the enemy position and sent his well-trained men over a small bridge crossing the brook. In just two hours of heavy fighting, they smashed through the center of the enemy line. This decided the battle.
With the Bohemian army destroyed, Tilly entered Prague and the revolt broke down. King Frederick with his wife Elizabeth fled the country (hence his nickname the Winter King). Twenty-seven noble leaders of the insurrection were executed at Prague's Old Town Square, along with an untold number of common people.
Gradually freedom of religion in Bohemian lands came to an end and Protestants fled or were expelled from the country. Spanish troops, seeking to encircle their rebellious Dutch provinces, seized the Palatinate. With Protestantism threatening to be overrun in Germany, Denmark entered the struggle.
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has long attracted artists and wandering spirits, although it was originally inhabited by prehistoric fish. Their inland sea filled the basin contained by the Tatras and Carpathian mountains, but when it eventually dried up they were forced to yield the terrain to dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and Neanderthals. In human times the Celtic tribes came to reside here, leaving remains dating back to the 4th Century B.C. Their tribal name, Boii, gives the root of the word "Bohemia". The three separate territories of Bohemia, Silesia and Moravia now make up the modern Czech Republic, which split from Slovakia in the 1993 "Velvet Divorce." Thanks to its enigmatic founder, the city of Prague derives a magnetic appeal for visionaries, scientists and astronomers. The historical figure credited with the launch of Prague is Princess Libuse, a visionary prophet and warrior who once stood atop the hill at Vysehrad and made the prophecy as follows, "I see a vast city, whose glory will touch the stars!" This indeed came to pass after she took Otokar Premysl to be her husband and King, launching the Premyslid dynasty, and leaving it to rule for the first four hundred years of Czech history. When the last Premyslid king, Wenceslas III, died without producing a male heir, the fourteen year-old John of Luxembourg came to take the throne of the Czech lands. Hot-headed John died in battle, but his diplomatic son Charles IV inherited the throne and, through keen multi-lingual savvy, managed to both keep it and earn the title "Father of the Czech Nation." Charles IV was the first of the Holy Roman Emperors here; he ruled during the height of Prague's elegance and splendour. This is the man to know if you want to understand Prague's layout. He sponsored the construction of such landmarks as the Charles Bridge, the Hunger Wall and St. Vitus' Cathedral, as well as personally designing the neighborhood called New Town (Nove Mesto) which has for its center Karlovo Namesti or Charles Square. The city displays every branch of architecture across the last thousand years, including Cubism, a style which you will be hard-pressed to find applied to buildings anywhere else in the world. Beyond the stunning visual makeup of the city, there is a wealth of nightlife and entertainment, beginning with the legendary concert halls including the Rudolfinum, National Theater, Estates Theater and the Municipal House. After investigating the Castle and Bridge, which are the most heavily-trafficked tourist areas, take a look around Zizkov and Letna, two of the cooler neighborhoods for bars and restaurants. However quiet it may seem after ten PM, Prague is alive and throbbing in an endless array of basement bars, pubs, clubs, discos and pool halls waiting to be discovered by the intrepid subterranean adventurer. To get an idea of what lies in store, check out the panoramas for Chateau and Palac Akropolis and when you're out and about, make sure you look for the stairs down to the cellar. Apart from shopping, eating, drinking and wearing out your digital camera, delve into the rich green carpet of Prague's parks, many of which lie only walking-minutes from the city center.Text by Steve Smith.

A four month old is biologically wired to sleep better in contact with mom and wakes and protests if mom is not in contact. It's a survival tool.Literally minutes after I leave the room she wakes up though.
I hear ya! with some babies being able to sneak away is just way more difficult. What i do is i sneak away but as soon as baby stirs, I go back and nurse baby again, if I catch it quick enough sometimes baby sleeps again. This works for number 3, but never would have worked for number one. I had to stay with him most of the time during naps.I'd like her to have at least one nap during the day when I can do something for myself, do something around the house, eat something etc.
Or I get me time doing something I can do while holding sleeping baby. Reading, computer, tv etc.
or I nap as well.
It is believed by some experts that sleep training babies works by convincing a baby that no one, not even their mother, will answer their cries, so they learn it is useless to cry so in order to save energy they stop. At the same time, mother becomes desensitized to their infant's cries. Talk about 'breaking' a baby. Certainly there is no proof sleep training in any form is helpful or needed for normal sleep outcomes long term, in fact, this has been disproven.
I nursed my oldest two to sleep for naps and bedtime for years, right thru toddlerhood. Over time this naturally gets less and less needed. They are now 10 and 7, have long been weaned, and have for many years have had excellent sleep habits by which I mean they go to sleep at bedtime and sleep all night. No sleep training.

The comment, earlier today, from the Japanese Economics Minister, Akira Amari, that the Yen exchange rate was now " in line with fundamentals", and the market's quick back-up reaction, got me a laugh, and has me thinking. Have things changed so much? Or is this just an illusion?
It was not long ago that we had the complete reverse of what we have today. Prior to 2009, markets were the dominate forces that determined the outcome of "things". Government leaders and finance officials have been talking for decades, they never got markets to "behave" as they wanted to before. That's completely changed. At least that appears to be the case.
As an example, consider what Mario Draghi accomplished last summer by merely mentioning the word "unlimited". The markets immediately bowed to the new, all powerful, Deity. Those markets are still in subservient mode, yet Draghi never really did a thing, except talk. The underlying problems in the EU are worse today than last summer, but the financial crisis has functionally disappeared.
As far as the efficacy of Central Bank currency intervention is concerned, one need look no farther than the utter failure of the BOJ to contain the appreciate of the Yen over three decades. It tried to talk the market up, it intervened again and again, but the Yen continued to rise. For many years, the market conclusion was that the more the BOJ bought – the more the market would demand.
My observation:
The BOJ was on the defence all those years, it was never on offence. A central bank that gives up the offence to the market, creates a situation where the market will exploit the weakness in an attempt to make a profit.
Note: The Bank of England's big losses in the 90′s to the FX market, as well the endless money that was made from 1970 through 2011 at the expense of the Swiss National Bank, are other example of CBs that were on the defence, and fed the "kitty" for the markets.
Where ever you look around the globe today you see evidence that the monetary authorities have achieved the offensive. They have complete control of both the direction and volatility of markets. The best evidence of this dominance is Bernanke's magic of setting the return on tens of trillions of dollars of long term securities at rates that will produce a negative return against inflation. There can be no other conclusion, but that the US capital market has folded its cards, and Bernanke has won. At least for now.
This takes us back to Mr. Amari's comments today. He thinks that now that we have had a back up in the Yen crosses, the FX markets should just go to sleep, and trade in narrow ranges. As of now, the markets are again bowing and scraping to this type of talk.
It could turn out differently. It might just be that those finance types in Tokyo have unleashed some very powerful forces. These forces will not get contained by talk that things are now "balanced". Two factors:
– The market is very well aware of the fact that BOJ WILL NOT stop additional Yen depreciation by reverse intervention (at least not for the next 1o big figures). This reality sets up an asymmetrical risk situation. There is no "lid" on USDYEN.
– The "market" has made a true fortune on the short side of the Yen trade the past six months. This "made" a few big firm's year. This set-up ALWAYS leads the market players, who now have a big pile of chips in front of them thanks to the "house", to press on with the betting.
We have in front of us what might prove to be the first test of the new found "dominance" of the CBs and the talkers. I think it's likely that USDYEN moves up another 10%. That could happen pretty quickly. There is nothing in the way, and the argument that an FX rate is now "fair", is irrelevant. The simple fact is, there is money to be made on the short side. It's just a question of timing.
In the immediate future there is a real question for the dollar. What's going to happen with the debt limit and related issues? Will America shoot itself in the foot? With that in the air, the USDYEN, and the Yen crosses, might take a breather for a spell. But I think it will prove to be a pause in the action.
The Yen is going to get cheaper. Cheaper than the Japanese want. Cheaper than America wants. Cheaper than the EU, China and the BRICs want.
When that happens, it will be fair to ask:
"Are those talkers and CB's really in charge? Or was that just a phase we passed through?"
And if so,
"Who's next?"

EXCLUSIVENothing says "MANLY MAN" like a gym session ... and really hairy arms ... and Mitt Romney is definitely a manly man.
The 65-year-old former Presidential candidate -- along with his wife Ann -- hit a up weight room near San Diego yesterday ... possibly to work off some of that pizza from their "Twilight" date night over the weekend.
Despite losing the election, it looks like having had Paul Ryan as a running mate can still do some good ... for Mitt's abs.

Samsung 11.6in 'retina display' tablet spied
Mobile World Congress outing for Ice Cream Sarnie tab?
Are ten-inch tablets too small for you? Rumour has it Samsung will introduce an 11.6in Galaxy Tab during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) show next month.
Details are inevitably vague. German-language site TabTech gives the screen size but doesn't provide a resolution. The Samsung tablet will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, it says, but no one would have assumed otherwise.
Meanwhile, AndroidAndMe mentions a resolution, 2560 x 1600, based on an earlier announcement, but doesn't say how big it will be other than "larger than ten inches".
Both sites say the tablet will be based on the 2GHz Exynos 5250 dual-core ARM chip that Samsung announced late last year.
At the time, Samsung said the Exynos has a graphics engine capable of running a 2560 x 1600 display, so the sites' resolution claims may simply be an assumption based on the chip, rather than a study of the display's pixel count.
AndroidAndMe bases its claims on a unit it saw at this month's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and which Samsung officials were insistent must not be photographed.
Even though an 11.6in screen is pushing it a bit for a handheld display, we can see Samsung offering such a beast, though likely with a more everyday resolution of 1366 x 768.
Samsung has shown off a 10.1in, 2560 x 1600 display, but it was a prototype and, when demo'd in May 2011, came with no indication of when - or if - it would come to market. ®

- "O stars that in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In Windy fields now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown!"
- ― Hymn to Elbereth
Varda Elentári (Q, pron. N [ˈvarda ˌelenˈtaːri], V [ˈβarda ˌelenˈtaːri]), known in Sindarin as Elbereth Gilthoniel (pron. [ˈelbereθ ɡilˈθonjel]), was a Valië, the wife of Manwë and Queen of the Valar.
When Melkor first began to create his discord, Varda saw his mind, and despised him. Melkor feared and hated Varda the most out of the Valar.
Varda was said to be too beautiful for words. Within her face radiated the light of Ilúvatar. She resided with Manwë in Valinor. Varda created the stars with the dews from the vats of Telperion, the first of the Two Trees. Varda is said to be the Vala most loved and revered by the Elves in Middle-earth, she is also believed to be the most beautiful.
The Valar, being divine beings below a greater, more ultimate Creator, Ilúvatar, are thought of as being the Middle-earth equivalent of saints and angels; it has therefore been suggested that Varda, in her role as the most loved and prayed-to Vala, may be an equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Tolkien's own Catholic faith.
Varda means "sublime" or "lofty" in Quenya, from PQ baradâ, merged with barathî
In Telerin she was called Baradis, and in Sindarin Elbereth.
All these come from the Root BARÁD/BARATH.[1]
In Adûnaic, her name was adapted rather than translated; it became Avradî.
Some older forms were Baráda, Bridhil, Timbridhil and Tinwetári.
Elbereth derives from elen-bereth meaning "star-queen". It represents evolution of Primitive Quendian *elen-barathî (the final -i umlauted the word to berethi) > elemberethi > elbereth.[2]
Names and epithets
She was also known as Elentári "Star-queen", Tintallë "Star-kindler".
In Sindarin she is also known as Gilthoniel (Starkindler), Fanuilos (Ever-white).
In Adûnaic she was also called Gimilnitîr "starkindler".
She is also referred to by the epithets The Kindler, Lady of the Stars, Queen of the Stars, Snow-white. They are translations of her Elvish names.
Other versions of the legendarium
In Tolkien's early Qenya, Vard- was a root referring to royalty. Related words were vardar "king" and vardo "prince"; they do not appear in the later inception of Quenya.

Killing Season (US - BD RA)
Gabe watches De Niro and Travolta stumble their way around Appalachia...
Deep in the Appalachian Mountains, a reclusive American military veteran (Robert De Niro) and a European tourist (John Travolta) strike up an unlikely friendship. But, when the tourist's true intentions come to light, what follows is a tense battle across some of America's most forbidding landscape, proving the old adage: the purest form of war is one-on-one. (From Millennium Films' official synopsis)
Mark Steven Johnson's Killing Season comes riddled with red flags. Chief among these is Johnson himself, the once highly-sought screenwriter of feckless, feel-good Hollywood comedies ( Grumpy Old Men, Jack Frost) and writer/director of formless, tacky Marvel adaptations ( Daredevil, Ghost Rider). Killing Season is the first film Johnson has directed for hire. The film was prepped as a John McTiernan vehicle (possibly before Johnny ended up in prison) and, despite the diminishing returns of McTiernan's post-'90s work, he seems a better fit for the grim, action-based material than the guy who last wasted audiences' time with the lifeless antics of When in Rome. The second flag is screenwriter Evan Daugherty, who is best known for selling his rancid Snow White and The Huntsman spec script for an astronomical sum and, really, not much else. The final and perhaps most frightening of these flags is the calibre of the main cast. There was a time when pairing Robert De Niro and John Travolta would be an exciting idea, but that time passed about a decade ago, when the two waning superstars were still making interesting movies. There's also the matter of the film's modest release, which is almost invariably a sign of trouble when the cast should be inspiring box office confidence.
I'd love to say that Johnson and company overcome expectations, but, unfortunately, Killing Season is more or less exactly what you assumed/feared it would be. For what it's worth, Johnson is acting pretty ambitiously here. In interviews, he cites John Boorman's Deliverance as an inspiration and I can see the vague resemblance (brutal human violence set against the rich natural backdrop), but more recent stuff, like Paul Greengrass' Jason Bourne movies, seem to have had a bigger effect on his shaky, cinéma vérité aesthetic. Separated from the hideously CG-enhanced worlds of his Marvel movies, Johnson captures plenty of beautiful Appalachian imagery and shoots effectively gritty, mostly discernable action. In the end, Killing Season might actually be Johnson's finest achievement as a director, but sadly, it still isn't good enough to lift the material above Daugherty's impossibly mediocre screenplay. There's no need to approach the film with lofty intentions – it is a B-product and probably should've been treated as such. Though it may seem intriguing to base the action around Bosnian War veterans, the novelty wears thin quickly as Killing Season turns into a typical and repetitive mano-a-mano battle of brawn and wits (Travolta captures/tortures/lectures De Niro, De Niro escapes, De Niro captures/tortures/lectures Travolta, rinse, repeat), despite some good efforts to punch things up with creative, gory violence. I assume that Daugherty intended the audience to switch sympathetic alliances as facts are revealed, similar to Hitchcock's Lifeboat or, more recently, David Slade's Hard Candy, but neither character is interesting or likeable enough to garner much sympathy in the first place.
It's pretty obvious why De Niro and Travolta would be interested in the project – it's very talky, built around two extremely centralized performances (the other characters, played by Milo Ventimiglia and Elizabeth Olin, are incidental), and each of them is handed at least three long, expository monologues. With the right actors it could be a theoretically good movie. Unfortunately, De Niro and Travolta appear to be acting in two very different films. De Niro brings a fair degree of weight to his part, though it might be closer to 'pathetic' than 'heavy.' It's probably worth noting that his part was originally intended for Nicolas Cage. Travolta's un-tempered performance is more indicative of what we could've expected from a McTeirnan-directed re-teaming of the guys that hammed up John Woo's Face/Off so gloriously. The only time De Niro and Travolta's performances sync up is an all-too-brief moment at the center of the movie, where De Niro prepares a salty lemonade solution to 'waterboard' Travolta, who has just taken an arrow through the cheek. Otherwise, the divided acting tone is just another example of the film's overall lack of commitment to tone.
Killing Season was shot on 35mm and is presented here in 2.35:1 ( edit: typo, it's 1.78:1), 1080p video. Steady fine grain levels and punchy black and dynamic white-level ranges, but, overall, Johnson and cinematographer Peter Menzies Jr. (obviously a leftover from McTiernan's time on the project, based on their repetitive re-teaming) take pains to alter the material, so that it appears uncannily digital. The pre-credit sequence (which is seen again in flashback throughout the film) is graded to appear golden (not sepia, golden) and set it apart from the rest of the film, which is graded to appear, sigh, orange & teal. Well, maybe more golden & teal, but certainly not naturally. These hues are consistently and tightly represented throughout the film and are sometimes highlighted and/or warmed-over by some incredibly vivid reds. The harsh separations are well-supported by deep blacks and aren't hampered by too many edge haloes. The weird colour qualities aren't the only uncanny element here – there are also some blurring effects peppered throughout, as if I had turned on my set's digital smoothing option. Outside of the overwhelming darkness of a handful of scenes, I found this blurring to be the transfer's most problematic element. Detail levels are uniformly impressive, especially expansive shots of the Appalachian wilderness where every single stick and leaf can be seen and counted without any substantial sharpening effects. The darkest sequences have minor low-level noise issues, but the bulk of the 'noise' here is clearly film grain.
Killing Season is presented in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 sound. The film opens with big and loud war footage to set the stage for the man to man conflict later in the movie. It's not visually overwhelming, but Johnson gets a lot of production value out of multi-channel, punchy gunfire, directionally enhanced fighter jets, and LFE-throbbing explosions. The rest of the story is a lot more intimate, so the sound design follows suit, including subtle environmental ambience like chirping birds, blowing wind, and a rumbling thunderstorm. Probably the coolest use of directional elements happens during the third act, when De Niro's character attaches wires to the beams inside of a derelict church so that he can manipulate the creaking wood and trick Travolta out of locating him. The always dependable Christopher Young's musical score elevates the film beyond its means. Sometimes, Young skews the music into uncomfortably whimsical territory, but is usually appropriately mournful and effectively spiked with digital augmentations. Johnson also fills aural space with some Johnny Cash classics, which come through nice and rich through the front channels.
The only extras are a brief EPK (2:20, HD) with Travolta, De Niro, and Johnson, and trailers for other Millennium Films releases.
Killing Season isn't nearly as bad as I feared, even close to good at some points, but it just doesn't work, neither as a performance-based arty thriller, nor as an exercise in B-move action. I'd recommend watching William Friedkin's The Hunted or Lee Tamahori's The Edge, instead, but I don't really care for them very much either, so I guess if you like those two movies, Killing Season would actually make a pretty good companion piece. Millennium's Blu-ray disc does look very sharp, however, with only some digital smoothing artefacts to sully its near perfection, and it features a dynamic yet subtle Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. The extras are practically non-existent.

I wish I would've done more research because I had no idea that there was a framing issue between the Blu-ray and the theatrical/VOD version. Now I'm curious if it will show up on Netflix and what framing that will be.
phew. Thanks for the info Gabe, I know how repetitive that can get. I thought I got some horrible version for a second. lol. Still a great review, and I agree very much with it. Wasn't great, but I enjoyed the film more than I expected to. I normally would have assumed it was a typo, but what's odd is the film was shot in 2.35:1. If you notice on the back of the box it even says 'Full Frame 1.78:1'which is an odd way of phrasing it, but it was released a month ago on itunes/VOD in 2.35. Very odd, its driving me a little crazy trying to figure out Millennium's reasoning in this way, or why it occurred.
Keep up the great work with the reviews Gabe, you do great work here!

Oh s**t! That's a typo, kluv, it was 1,78:1. I'm gonna change that right now. It's what I get for writing so many reviews in a row.
I'm really sorry about that. We definitely received the same copy.
I'm really sorry about that. We definitely received the same copy.
Another great review. Interesting the Blu-Ray you received was in a 2.35:1 AR. The one I received was in a 1.78:1 that also notes as 'full frame'. I was wondering if perhaps there were two versions released with different AR's but I couldn't find any specific information on the subject and no big sites/stores seem to mention it or offer a choice, but apparently there are. Very interesting move by Millennium to release full screen & widescreen versions of a film on Blu-Ray and very odd for most places not to carry both I can't imagine the one I got was just a random manufacturing mistake and I know the film was supposedly shot in 2.35:1 AR. Anyone else know anything about different AR's on the blu-ray?
I'm pretty sure that's every movie these two make these days.
was this their extra paycheck movie?

Simply stated, a taxonomy organizes your site by attaching descriptive terms to each piece of content. These terms might identify a page as belonging to a specific section of your site, or describe which topics a given blog post discusses, or what region of the country an event takes place.
Taxonomies organize terms in separate vocabularies so that, for example, alumni event locations don't get mixed up with campus sites when you're trying to investigate junior-year abroad destinations, or find out which cafeteria is open late.
Setting up these vocabularies, and the descriptive terms that belong to them, is the first step in creating a taxonomy.
CommonSpot supports faceted classification, a branching system that enables searching or navigating along multiple related paths, corresponding to different independent orderings, or facets, of information. For example, an academic program classification might contain facets for Undergraduate, Graduate, and Special Academic Programs.
CommonSpot uses a predefined taxonomy for associating content with selected terms, making it possible to search, navigate, and filter pages based on these criteria.
Before contributors at your site can associate data with terms in a taxonomy, you must create or import a taxonomy definition file. CommonSpot provides an XML-formatted file (commonspot\taxonomy\sample.xml) defining all taxonomy terms and the structure necessary for including term attributes and relationships.
Once you create or import a taxonomy, CommonSpot generates a new field type for associating content with taxonomy terms in Simple Forms, Custom Elements, and Metadata Forms. As contributors develop content associations, terms from the taxonomy become available as search and filter criteria for the Data Sheet, Custom Elements, and other CommonSpot components that use data filtering.
See the overview of CommonSpot's Extensive Metadata Taxonomy Support for a discussion of the benefits of taxonomy-based classification in general, and CommonSpot taxonomy features in particular.
Your site can use more than one taxonomy definition file at a time. For a description of the accepted XML format, see the Taxonomy XML Specification.
Note: You can purchase standard or custom taxonomies based on a particular industry, for example, the news industry.
To access Taxonomy options, expand Content Classification in the left panel of the Site Administration Dashboard and click Taxonomy.
