Robert B. Weide: Woody Allen: A DocumentarySkrevet den 05-07-2012 19:53:26 af Mikkel Stolt I tend to avoid topical documentaries with no artistic purpose of its own, so why do I want to see a documentary about Woody Allen? Furthermore, I believe I know most things about Allen so a biographical film would almost only be disappointing. But to be honest, I'm just a big fan. I have seen all his films and his writing have brought me through some difficult and sleepless nights in the past. If I was forced to mention my favourite film of all times at gun point (or even "gub point" - before I took the money and ran) I would probably say "Manhattan". Thankfully, this film is quite satisfying in many ways. Not only does it provide us with a pretty good insight on his early career as a joke writer and stand-up comedian, it also gives us good commenting on the better part of his films. Allen himself is either waddling around or willingly talking to the director about his methods, dreams and hang-ups, and most of it is known stuff. He laments that he's a comedian and not a tragedian (which I've always thought is a false premise) and he speaks highly of actors and ex-wives. We meet a lot of his fellow workers in interviews and there is some good archive material as well as good excerpts from his feature films, although with a greater emphasis on the first two thirds of his career. All in all it's pretty skillfully and amusingly put together, for instance when a comment by one of his agents about a career advice given to Allen is followed by a scene from "Broadway Danny Rose" in which Allen gives career advice to a balloon folding act. But towards the end of the film we are on the set of "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" and suddenly you want to know even more about his film making and his views on acting and aesthetics. Supposedly, the PBS TV version holds another hour with more nerdish material and I would love to get a hold of that. As a documentary, it's surely entertaining and will most likely give even non-fans an urge to watch or read more Woody Allen, but of course it lacks a bit as a work in its own right. I don't see how you could do it differently, though, except digging more into the dynamics of the schism between tragedy and comedy which is such a huge part of Allen's art. Now I will go re-watch "Interiors" which this film claims was very serious and Bergmanish (which it is) but as I actually recall as being quite funny as well. And since I know I'm going to die someday, I'd better get my laughs now. Robert B. Weide: Woody Allen: A Documentary, USA 2011, 113 mins (theatrical cut).

The launch of Cape Ann's annual Relay For Life at Gloucester High School's Newell Stadium has once again brought out a number of special stories from those who turned out for the annual American Cancer Society fund-raiser, which continues today.
For one, Gloucester firefighters were walking the relay and selling pink Gloucester Fire Department T-shirts "in support of one of their own," as Deputy Chief Steve Aiello put it.
Aiello said that firefighter Michael Smith, who is battling cancer, was originally diagnosed in 2000. After receiving treatment and going into remission, he and his family have annually participated in the Relay for Life by establishing Team Red Baron.
Their team and the firefighters' mission took on renewed urgency this past winter; Smith was diagnosed with a different form of cancer.
"(He) is currently receiving treatments and is not feeling well enough to participate in this year's relay, so his brother and sister firefighters are stepping in for him," Aiello said .
"Mike would be the first one to step up and help out one of his comrades if they were in need," Aiello added. "He is considered by his superiors as a dependable and hardworking firefighter who leads by example.
"His peers admire him for his exceptional work ethic and his keen sense of humor," he said, "but most importantly he sets an excellent example for us all as a good family man to his wife and three young sons."
All proceeds from the sale of the pink Gloucester Fire Department T-shirts will go to the Relay for Life.
Meanwhile, Gloucester resident Jonathan Pratt, managing partner of Life Solutions Group, The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co.'s career agency in Boston, was also among the Relay for Life participants Friday night and into today.
Pratt, a lifelong city resident, has led a team called Family Times for the past eight years. The team, which was started by Pratt's sister, was created to honor their brother, Chucky.
The team raised more than $12,300 for this year's event, with Pratt raising $3,000 on his own, the top figure among the 211 fund-raisers in Cape Ann.
Habitat health honor
The city of Gloucester's manager of health services is being saluted by Restoration Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for his work in helping the health of a wildlife habitat as well.
Charles Max Schenk was honored at this past week's City Council meeting and presented a NOAA "Excellence In Restoration" award for his leadership in the Mill Pond mud flat and salt marsh restoration project, which took place from 1998 through this year.
"The key to any successful restoration effort is committed partners," said John Catena, supervisor for the Northeast Region of the NOAA Restoration Center. "While a number of organizations worked long and hard on this 10-year project, much of the project success is due to the leadership, ingenuity and determination of Max Schenk.
"Max was involved in every aspect of this project from grant writing and contract management to outreach and communications," Catena said in a prepared statement.
Schenk has also provided valuable support on other NOAA Restoration Center-supported projects in Gloucester, including the Eastern Point Salt Marsh restoration project, the Dun Fudgin intertidal restoration project and improvements to the Little River fish ladder.
In 2005, Schenk was a recipient of the NOAA Volunteer of the Year award, which recognizes individuals for resourcefulness and leadership in balancing the human use of America's coastal and ocean resources with the needs of the resources themselves.
'Orchid whisperer'
Speaking of special honors, Gloucester's Connie Rohrbough received an award because of extraordinary volunteer service, presented recently by Rockport Music at its gala opening of its annual Chamber Music Festival.
She received the Christine Lovgren Award for distinguished volunteer service. Rohrbough, also known as the "orchid whisperer," was presented with an orchid before a full audience and roaring applause.
Among her gifts were also tickets for her and her family for a concert she had been wanting to attend. She served as the volunteer house manager for several years and began her volunteer work when the concerts were held at the Rockport Art Association.
When the new performance center opened in 2010, Connie accepted the position of chair of the house management group. She was responsible for scheduling and training volunteers, and leading a team of greeters, ushers and concessions sales people.
"She established operating procedures that helped create a seamless experience for every concertgoer," according to the award announcement. "She always goes above and beyond, and her drive and dedication is evident in the many hours of 'overtime' she has spent at the hall. Connie tackles volunteer leadership with great poise and humility."
Rohrbough also serves on the boards of two other Cape Ann nonprofits — the Thacher Island Association and Cape Ann Animal Aid.
Honored veteran
The flag at the Veterans Center will fly this week in honor of Salvatore Peter Randazza, veteran of World War II. Born March 26, 1924, he entered the U.S. Navy on March 15, 1944. A Coxswain, he served with Landing Craft Tank 115, and 1226.
Randazza served in the Asian Pacific theater, was awarded the World War II Victory Medal, American Theatre Medal, Asiatic Pacific Theatre Medal with four battle stars, Philippine Liberation Medal with one battle star. He died November 21, 1994. The flag was requested to fly in his honor by his wife, Catherine, and family.
Anyone wishing to fly a flag in honor of a deceased veteran can call the Office of Veterans Services at 978-281-9740.

Tonight, four finalists - two from each of Christina and Blake's teams - will be eliminated. Will your favourite stay, or will some of the early highlights become casualties? Stay with Digital Spy live from 9/8c to find out!
> 'The Voice': Jesse Campbell tops first Digital Spy readers' poll of season
22:03Well, that's it for tonight. Next Monday night, Cee Lo and Adam's teams will perform, and then four of them will be going home. What will happen? You'll have to join us then to find out!
21:58Adam and Blake want to save Ashley, while Cee Lo wants Sera. It's Christina's decision, though, and she picks Ashley - or rather, her "gut" does. I'm not sure why, but all right. That means Moses and Sera are headed home. Bye bye!
21:54Moses is up last and he's singing The Script's 'Break Even'. Oh, Danny Wotsit from The Thingy (thanks, Grace Dent) - it's an international Voice shout-out! I like Moses. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help myself. I want him to stay, but he probably won't. But then again, maybe he will - Christina has a soft spot for him, it seems.
21:48Now it's Christina's team's job to sing. Ashley goes for 'Paris, Ooh La La' (what the hell is this song?) and hopes that it'll be enough to save her. I don't like it at all - it sounds like a bunch of racket. Right after, Sera takes on Mariah Carey's 'Vision of Love'. Odd choice, but better than that French mumbo jumbo.
21:40Cee Lo, Christina and Adam all think that Jordis should be the one to stay, but it's up to Blake. When it comes down to it, he agrees with the others. It's Jordis who stays, while Charlotte and Naia are headed home.
21:38Jordis Unga thinks that 'Wild Horses' might save her. I have no feelings on the matter either way. She does have a nice voice, but I think the performers in Blake's group with the most star potential have already been put through.
21:32Charlotte Sometimes is up next and she's singing probably the most bizarre choice I've ever seen on a show like this - 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls. Remember how good City of Angels was, though? No? Just me? Fair enough. I wish I liked Charlotte - she sang Paramore, who I love, but... meh.
21:30Naia Kete is singing Beyoncé's (shhh) 'If I Were a Boy' for her final song. First of all, you don't sing Bey. Second of all, you don't turn a Bey song into a reggae anthem. Enjoy your press week, Naia, cos you're headed home.
Blake loves to see her "come out on stage"... well, that's something. He wishes she didn't do reggae, but she swears that "they" wouldn't let her. Is "they" the voices in her head? I'm not sure. Bye bye, Naia.
Blake loves to see her "come out on stage"... well, that's something. He wishes she didn't do reggae, but she swears that "they" wouldn't let her. Is "they" the voices in her head? I'm not sure. Bye bye, Naia.
21:23Now, let's find out which of Christina's three artists are safe. It'll be... Jesse Campbell (no surprise there), Lindsey Pavao and Chris Mann. Meanwhile, Ashley de La Rosa, Sera Hill and Moses Stone will have to sing for their lives. Tough luck, but the American public got it right.
21:18It looks like Naia, Charlotte and Jordis will need to have a sing off for Blake, with only one of them moving through to next week. With that, Carson sends them off to "get ready" - after all, there's no time! We have to see Christina prepare her team for the world of pop by taking them to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno!
21:17Back to the present, Blake admits that he thinks his entire team is made up of great artists, so he's unsure what's going to happen. However, Carson doesn't keep them in suspense for long and soon announces that America has chosen to save Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul and RaeLynn who - although inaudibly - shows her surprise by mouthing a very clear "Oh, s**t!"
21:14It's time for some results, now! Team Blake is first up - Blake gave his group a pep talk leading up to this week by taking them to a local country music station and... sitting around a table in a conference room to talk about his own career. Oh, but then they do an on-air interview, so I guess that makes a little more sense.
21:06Everyone is super upset that 4 acts will be going home tonight. Tell me about it - I've got my Kleenex at the ready! But hold the waterworks for just a little while longer, Gym Class Heroes are ready to perform! Remember when Travie McCoy dated Katy Perry? They were a cute couple. Then they broke up and she wrote 'Circle the Drain' about his pill addiction. Good times.
Anyway, the group is singing 'Ass Back Home', which is a pretty dumb name for a song, but what do I know from pop music? A lot, actually. And this song belongs anywhere but my home. (Did you miss me last night?)
Anyway, the group is singing 'Ass Back Home', which is a pretty dumb name for a song, but what do I know from pop music? A lot, actually. And this song belongs anywhere but my home. (Did you miss me last night?)
21:02Turns out, the bottom three (after three have been eliminated) will have to sing for their lives. I'm not quite sure how that makes sense, as Christina and Blake's singers performed last night, and 2 must go home from each team tonight. So how would you choose 2 out of a bottom 3 to go home? The mind boggles. I should probably stop trying. Also, Christina Aguilera is suddenly tiny. When the hell did that happen?
21:00And, we're off! Four singers have to go home tonight, but who will it be? Did you lose sleep over it? I did(n't)! But I am curious, so here we go!

The trouble at Lehman Brothers is rapidly becoming a race against time for the struggling Wall Street bank, The New York Times' Ben White writes.
Lehman's fortunes dwindled further on Wednesday as the firm, staggered by the biggest loss in its 158-year history, fought to regain confidence among investors.
Even as Lehman pledged to shrink its operations in its most drastic step yet to shore up its financial position, its stock price continued to fall, closing down 7 percent, to $7.25.
With each passing day, the pressure is growing for Lehman to secure a financial lifeline or at least arrest the precipitous decline in its stock, which has lost 55 percent of its value over the last three days.
While Lehman has few options, it has some advantages that Bear Stearns did not have before its collapse, mainly the special loan program subsequently created by the federal government for Wall Street banks. The risk for Lehman is that employees and money might quickly drain away if confidence in the bank continues to erode.
The decline came on a day when another big financial institution, the giant savings and loan Washington Mutual, also came under assault. Shares of Washington Mutual plunged by nearly 30 percent, underscoring the worries about the broader financial industry.
At Lehman, the bank's embattled chief executive, Richard S. Fuld Jr., announced his plans in a conference call with analysts and investors. Inside Lehman's Midtown headquarters, anxious employees huddled around trading screens to watch the reaction in the stock market.
Lehman, one of the nation's largest investment banks, said it expected to report a $3.9 billion loss for the third quarter, an even bigger deficit than analysts had forecast, and cut its dividend to shareholders. It also announced long-expected plans to sell most of its prized investment management division and, more radically, to split itself into a "good" bank and a "bad" one.
The split, a strategy employed with mixed success by several other banks in the 1980s and 1990s, would enable Lehman to hive off worrisome commercial mortgages and real estate.
Lehman plans to spin off about $30 billion of such assets into a separate company – the "bad" bank – which would be owned by Lehman shareholders. The hope is that the holdings of the bad bank will eventually increase in value, yielding profits for its shareholders.
While shrinking the bank might improve Lehman's short-term prospects, this strategy could pose long-term issues. To remain viable in the future, analysts said Lehman might need to be part of a larger institution, perhaps a foreign entity like HSBC of London or Nomura of Japan.
"In the current market you have to be either really huge or you have to be dominant in one business or in a good niche," Len Blum, a managing director at Westwood Capital, a financial advisory group, told The Times. "They are not huge and they were dominant in fixed income, but that game is over in the near term."
The measures announced by Lehman on Wednesday came as somewhat of a disappointment to Wall Street analysts and investors, because they were expected and because some of the moves could take months to complete.
The announcement may have bought Lehman some time to reach a deal for the sale of the majority of its money management arm, but Mr. Fuld must move quickly to execute his other plans.
"I think they have to make some pretty serious headway pretty quickly," Mr. Blum told The Times. "I don't think the market will be patient for another quarter of losses and uncertainty and promises. I think the market is looking for this to be the final fix."
Other analysts give Lehman even less time, saying the bank needs to complete a sale within days to satisfy shareholders. Others are anxious for Lehman to secure financing from an outside investor.
Lehman stock plunged 45 percent Tuesday after its plans for a major investment from a Korean bank fell through, and is down more than 90 percent from the peak last February. The asset management sale, at least, is not likely to be completed that fast. Final bids are due this weekend but it will take several weeks to evaluate them, according to The Times. Finalists for the majority stake include the private equity groups Bain Capital, Hellman & Friedman and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, The Times said.
The spinoff of the real estate assets is not expected to be completed until early next year and some analysts questioned whether the $5 billion to $7 billion in equity Lehman might use to support the new entity, to be called Real Estate Investments Global, would require the remaining "good bank" to raise even more money, something it has had trouble doing.
Lehman executives insisted on Wednesday that the sale of the stake in the money management business would be enough to offset the capital going to support the "bad bank" and that no new money would be needed right away. However, Lehman and other banks have insisted throughout the credit crisis that they had ample capital, only to rush out to raise even more.
The question now is who would provide that capital if it is needed. Mr. Fuld said in his conference call that once the initiatives were complete, Lehman would emerge as a stronger, less-risky bank that should command a higher share price.
"This firm has a history of facing adversity and delivering. We have a long track record of pulling together when times are tough and then taking advantage of global opportunities," he said. "We are on the right track to put the last two quarters behind us."
Those two quarters have been horrific for a scrappy bank that until this year had never lost money since it emerged as a public company in 1994.
Lehman's third quarter included another $5.6 billion in net write-downs on its residential and commercial real estate holdings as well as revenue declines in several of its businesses including investment banking and investment management.
The bank, however, reduced residential mortgage exposure by 31 percent, to $17.2 billion, and said it had agreed to sell $4 billion of its British residential mortgage portfolio to BlackRock, the asset management group.
Executives at Lehman also said the mere creation of the "bad bank" structure could help it sell other remaining assets. Potential bidders would know the firm now had the option of moving assets into the bad bank, where they do not have to be valued at current market prices, rather than selling at what they viewed as fire-sale levels.

20 mis outside Uyuni is a large amount of steam trains abandoned in a huge cemetery.
I had visited before at the end of a tour 2 years ago, bt this time I had a big flashgun & tripod too, so walked out there at the end of the day.
The better light was well after sunset when the mon came out too, as I could walk an=bout with my flashgun too & paint with the light.
The long walk back into town was not easy, & I almost got lost having to follow the tracks off into the desert before they joined up with the existing tracks still in use back into town.

what free upgrade? I don't know one.
There was a promotion for buying at Anets website. This one was the place to do the shopping. You won't get it from other places, if they didn't offer the same.

Comment posted Argyll First endorse Michael Breslin in Dunoon vote by Islay for ever.
News that Conservative and Unionist Councillor Donald Kelly is endorsing a SNP candidate , having earlier in the week propelled the SNP into administration in Argyll and Bute will result in his long overdue expulsion from the Party .
Islay for ever also commented
- Trying to justify your putting the SNP in power Councilor Freeman ? The fact is any grouping of Councillors could have formed a coalition . My complaint is that Donald Kelly , who stood as a Conservative and Unionist candidate has chosen to put the SNP in control , and urged electors in Dunoon to vote SNP . Take a look at what has happened in Aberdeenshire council as an example of a better outcome from a Unionist perspective .
- Robert , members of the SNP are in it for one reason – they want to break up the United Kingdom .
Potholes and dog's dirt , nuclear submarines and RAF bases etc etc are only issues to be used to attain a separate Scotland . - I don't know how you can seriously suggest Donald Kelly was "upfront" . Many of those who voted for Councillor Kelly did so because he was the Conservative and Unionist Candidate . The last thing Conservative and Unionist voters expect is for their candidate to cut deals with the separatist SNP , especially 2 years before a referendum on the future of the 305 year old union , and when there exists an (increasing in number) Conservative and Unionist group within Argyll & Bute Council .
Councillor Kelly would do well to remember that no individual is bigger than the party , presumably he was afraid to stand without the Conservative and Unionist ticket. I am willing to wager that if Donald Kelly has to face a Conservative and Unionist candidate at the next election , his vote will reduce significantly , perhaps to an extent where he fails to be elected .
The SNP have 13 councillors in Argyll and Bute , the opposition have 23 . For Donald Kelly to align himself with the one third of Councillors who are in politics to break up the United Kingdom and for him to urge voters in Dunoon to support the SNP candidate , suggests to me that he sees the Conservative and Unionist badge as merely one of convenience and he should be forced to choose , Money First or the Conservative Group .
Recent comments by Islay for ever
- HIAL May 2013 overall passenger numbers up 7.2% on 2012 but with some substantial falls
27% down – a shocking reduction , in large part down to the SNP's heath service cuts , which mean more Kintyre patients are being put "round the road " rather than the more acceptable air journey . Disgraceful . - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
I doubt it very much too , however I don't need any lectures on the working of small rural schools , having attended one for seven years .
While it is quite possible to have friends and work together happily with older and younger pupils , what happens when the child goes to Secondary School ? He/she goes alone not knowing anyone , is amongst people who have their friends of seven years and will forever be an outsider , is likely to be poor at team sports having never experienced a proper same aged team .
The parents opting to send their children to larger schools are doing so for the best of reasons and should not be judged for so doing . - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
Anne , I thought that living in Southend , you'd be more in touch with the goings on at the primary school .To talk of one parent and her child is either deliberately misleading or you are unaware of the children who will be absent from the school when it resumes after the summer .
Can you tell us out of interest , how many people are employed at the school and how many pupils there are at present ? I am told there are ten employees . - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
What's the situation regards Southend Primary School ? see post above - Russell to make parliamentary statement on rural schools today
Campbeltown is a buzz with the news that yet more pupils already attending and children due to start school at Southend Primary School this autumn are being placed at schools in Campbeltown by their parents .
It appears that an increasing number of parents in the Southend area are deciding that having their children in classes of one or two pupils is against the interests of their offspring and are voting with their feet .
How a community campaign to preserve the school can be successful when it cannot convince a growing number of parents in it's own community to commit to it suggests that parents are doing politicians' job for them and that the days of this school are numbered .

[caption id="attachment_21888" align="alignleft" width="250" caption="The hood Internet"][/caption]
When they're not busy photoshopping tacos into classic album covers, Aaron Brink and Steve Reidell are busy infusing hip-hop jams with indie pop and rock tunes.
Chicago duo The Hood Internet is back with Trillwave 2, which is now available for stream or download via Soundcloud.
The 25-track album finds musical connections between artists such as Das Racist and Cults, Raekwon & Ghostface Killah and Destroyer, as well as M.I.A. and Sufjan Stevens. The end result is an overall collection of slow-burning grooves.
The Hood Internet close the collection with a mash-up of Broken Social Scene's "All to All" with Twista's "Wetter". When Chicago rockers Shapers remixed "All To All" earlier this year their version sped up the tempo to make it danceable. The Hood Internet version uses "Wetter"'s beat as a backbone and turns the Canadian collective's track a slow jam.
If you want to check out The Hood Internet's next raging dance party, the duo will perform at North Coast Music Festival in Union Park on Friday, Sept 2. By Audrey Leon \ comments

?In 1611, a play was submitted to censor with no definitive author. Several characters were unnamed and there was no title. The plots within were adapted from episodes of Cervantes' Don Quixote, and in the 1990s, the palaeographer Charles Hamilton attested that this play was the lost Shakespeare, Cardenio. This is an indelible and disturbing play that deals with obsession, amorality, suspicion and, ultimately, revenge.'
Our Review:
Simon Tavener - 28 April 2011
The chance to see a new Shakespeare play – even one where the authorship is the subject of much heated academic debate – is a rare treat for the average theatregoer. When it's delivered in fine style in an exceptionally accomplished production by the Royal Shakespeare Company, you know you're in for something really rather special.
Whether or not this Cardenio is derived from something that's authentically Shakespearean or is rather more of a well-constructed later pastiche does not really matter. It delivers a satisfying evening in the theatre. There are elements that echo narrative strands and characters from plays as diverse as Cymbeline and King Lear and overall I found it a close cousin to All's Well That Ends Well. Putting the question of the provenance of the text, what should really matter is that director Gregory Doran and his team have pulled together something that is fresh (whilst remaining fami...

Written by Walter Pierce
"I'm responsible for what goes on inside of my building. I'm kind of paying attention to what goes on inside of my bar. The streets of Lafayette are the responsibility of Lafayette City Police officers." Close-cropped and wiry with work-rough hands, Marley's owner Andrew Monceaux can barely contain his frustration, which will spill over two or three times before the interview concludes. He is seated with George Favaloro of Nite Town and Robert Oja of Karma in the conference room at The Independent Weekly on Jefferson Street downtown, grousing about Lafayette Police, Lafayette Consolidated Government, and a deal gone sour after just nine months. A few hours before, Monceaux, Favaloro, Oja and several other downtown bar owners met to talk business, or, more properly, they say, to talk not going out of business. They've all received the letter from Police Chief Jim Craft informing them that the monthly fee, or levy, they pay to cover overtime for a police security detail Thursday through Saturday nights is going up. Way up. And they agreed as a group to hold firm — to pay what they've been paying, even though the ordinance to which they're subject specifies penalties for late payment and even suspension of those precious liquor licenses. According to Craft, about half of the 17 bars on LCG's fee schedule have already begun paying at the increased rate.
Most of the bars paying the levy are clustered on the 300 and 400 blocks of Jefferson Street between Congress and Cypress, beyond which downtown Lafayette dissipates into a seedy amalgam of broken glass and broken men. On a typical Saturday night thousands of mostly young and often rowdy bar hoppers turn Jefferson into Bourbon Street West. The vagrants panhandle. Opportunistic crooks prowl the perimeter, waiting for a score to come stumbling along. The deal struck last February between the bars and LCG requires the bars collectively to pay $168,900 to City Hall per year — half the cost of the security detail. Each bar's share is based on its occupancy; Karma, the largest with a capacity of 1,307, pays five times more than the 240-head Green Room across the street. But in the letter, Craft says that's not enough.
"It was determined that significant increases in staffing would be necessary in order to provide for adequate safety and security," Craft writes in the Nov. 11 letter to the bar owners. He cites three factors in justifying the higher fee: increasing crowd sizes, more difficulty in crowd management, and the absence of supplemental off-duty police officers employed by individual establishments. In other words, the bars weren't hiring off-duty cops of their own. According to Craft's revised fee schedule, the P.D. now needs $248,251 to provide security — more than $79,000 above the cost set in February. Favaloro's levy for Nite Town went from $1,500 to $2,541; Karma's shot from $1,500 to $4,020.
"It was a $1,500 cap," insists Favaloro, referring to the original agreement. Indeed, the fee schedule released to the media last February after Section 50-50(b) of the LCG Code of Ordinances was approved by the council includes a column headed "Rounded Monthly w/$1,500 CAP." Only Karma, Nite Town and Grant Street Dancehall are on the hook for $1,500 per month in the original fee schedule — they're the big boys downtown — and Grant Street was given a waiver since it's generally a one-night-a-week venue and hires its own police officers for security. But Grant Street is now being told to pay $3,156 per month.
"We agreed to pay this amount of money, and we probably went through about eight months of negotiations. We really weren't negotiating a number; we were negotiating about where and how we were going to do this operation," says Favaloro. "Now, in the levy it was made known to both Chief Craft and [LCG Chief Administrative Officer] Dee Stanley, that if we go into this levy, many of us, if not all of us, were not going to be able to afford to pay for off-duty security at our door. [Craft] said, 'I don't want them at your door. That's what we're trying to get away from. We don't want them at your door. We want to be able to be on the streets, patrolling the streets. This is the way we want to handle it, through the city and no liability on the bars.' So, we said OK."

MAY 17 Here's a column from James Gill, this time in the Advocate. Gill, who has jumped ship from the Picayune, writes about the absurdity of dueling polls in this post. The numbers are so wildly different, it is obvious that both sides are "cooking the books," he writes. In particular, he looks at Sen. Mary Landrieu, and how her recent actions in DC have been received by those polled. Gill's acerbic, amusing prose is a welcome addition to a paper so conservative as to be occasionally lacking in personality.
MAY 17 Blogger Tom Aswell continues delivering bombshells about the state education department and Gov. Jindal's education "reform" efforts. In this post, he reports that students in the Shreveport area have been signed up for a charter school without their knowledge or consent. Most interesting to Aswell is how this Texas-based charter (with ties to GOP types) got the personal student information it has, if the students didn't give it.
MAY 17 This post by JR Ball in the Baton Rouge Business Report is an interesting tongue-in-cheek look at recent Baton Rouge economic development efforts. Among the items he examines is the idea that gaining a Costco makes BR a "world-class city." (Really? All you need is a different brand of Sam's? MK!) This effort, and other recent ones, are all built on the taxpayer's back, with tax zones, tax incentives and tax rebates, Ball writes.
MAY 17 Blogger CB Forgotston is critical of the legislature's reliance on a revenue-estimating committee's decision to include projected tax amnesty income in this year's forecast. That's a problem, CB posts, because the deadline for these people to pay their taxes is June 30, 2014. So when do you think these people who haven't paid taxes in years are going to pay their taxes? Surely not before June 30, and that means the money won't be there for this year's budget, he argues.
MAY 17 Here's an interesting blog out of California by a Hollywood writer, attorney and academic named Brian Alan Lane. He blogs about higher ed, and was a whistle-blower in a scandal over false credentials. In this post, he takes aim at LSU's new top dog, King Alexander. It's convoluted and a little confusing, but it sure makes Alexander a lot more interesting than he was yesterday.
MAY 17 Blogger Robert Mann writes about the LSU Board's refusal to allow Dr. Fred Cerise to testify before the legislature about Gov. Jindal's plan to close down all the state's charity hospitals and dump the poor on the private system. It's hard to imagine anyone more qualified than Cerise to testify about that, so why would anyone try to prevent him doing so? Mann thinks it is because the powers that be aren't interested in hearing any truth about the plan.
MAY 17 This post on the Louisiana Sinkhole Bugle, a blog that notes developments in the Bayou Corne and Jefferson Island salt domes, talks about a proposed expansion of the salt dome storage under Lake Peigneur in Iberia Parish. Residents are working against it for several reasons, including two biggies: the sinkhole disaster in Bayou Corne and the continuing, unexplained bubbling on the surface of the Lake.
MAY 17 NOLA police arrested more people Thursday accused of either being involved in the Mother's Day shooting or hiding the suspect afterward, this Gambit story reports. The NOLA police chief said he suspects the whole thing was gang-related and throws out a challenge to the gangs: he's got informants now, he says, and he knows a lot more than the gangs want him to know. The people who live in the neighborhoods terrorized by gangs are ready to talk, he says.

If you have not heard about the acronym "KISS", it stands for KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID. Kettlebell training can be your KISS approach to fat loss & all-round fitness if you like to keep things ridiculously simple and yet effective. Why make things complicated when you can cut out the fluff and save you time and energy? If you are a busy person and likes to keep things ridiculously simple and yet effective, kettlebell can certainly fit into your lifestyle.
When it comes to losing the extra kilos, looking fabulous, ripped and fit, I've often come across people who make it more complicated than it should. "Should I start training for marathon?", "Join a gym" or "Sign up for a boot camp or Zumba classes" are the things I hear when someone starts getting serious about getting fit. I think the worst thing is do too many things at one time and end up nowhere nearer to the desired body shape and fitness goals.
If you want things to be less complicated, you got to be completely clear about what's your ultimate goal? Does the goal serve you? If your goal is to complete a marathon and that makes you happy, then you just got to run. If the answer is to lose bodyweight or lose fat and you want to do it effectively, kettlebell training will be the perfect fit plus it helps with other aspect of fitness that everyone should have.
Is Kettlebell Training A Fad Like Everything Else?
If kettlebell training is a fad, it wouldn't be around up til this day and be one of the training tool used by many top personal trainers and strength & conditioning coaches today. I first heard of kettlebell training back in 2002 and remembered seeing a Russian guy named Pavel Tsatsouline holding a kettlebell on the internet. Back then, I thought who is this guy and I wasn't buying into the idea of using a iron ball in one hand can help build strength and boost fat loss. Guess what? I actually went to this same guy and attended his Russian Kettlebell Challenge Workshop in 2011. If kettlebell training is a fad, the movement behind kettlebells won't be stronger today and many of my clients using the kettlebells with me would not have been so much stronger, leaner and fitter. I would have moved on.
Why Kettlebell Training Is Great For Fat Loss?
In 2010, researchers at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse Exercise and Health Program carried out an American Council of Exercise (ACE) study titled "Kettlebells: Twice The Results In Half The Time" to analyse the energy cost and exercise intensity of Hardstyle Kettlebell Snatches protocol found in a book called Viking Warrior Conditioning. It was found that the research participants were expending 20.2 calories at least per minute which is equivalent to the running pace of 1.6km in 6 minutes (6-minute mile pace) after considering the measurement of the blood lactate.
Burning at 20.2 calories per minutes is without a doubt off the chart and would certainly required great deal of effort. Combining the high calorie demand and the increases in Excess Post Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) caused by intense training effort can only be the perfect formula to losing body fat. Does this mean you can only get the fat loss effects only by doing kettlebell snatches?
Although the study is done on Hardstyle snatches, it is highly possible that any of the ballistic kettlebell exercises such as cleans and swings can be energy costly due to the explosive muscle contraction required. Studies have found that quick muscle contraction consumes significantly more calories than slow muscle contraction probably due to preferential activation of fast-twitch muscle fiber that uses 3 to 4 times more energy than slow twitch muscle fiber.
In a book called the 4-Hour Body, a lady named Tracy Reifkind in her 40s was documented to have lost more than 40kg doing the kettlebell swings exercise which is the foundational exercise in kettlebell training. And in my personal training services, I have no lack of people experiencing major fat loss from the kettlebell swings. If you are interested in learning the kettlebell swings, check out Mastering The Hardstyle Kettlebell Swings.
Kettlebell Training Increases Core Strength by 70% & Dynamic Balance By 7%
In an ACE sponsored research study: Kettlebells Kick Butt, the researchers found that there was an increase of 70% core strength after 8 weeks of kettlebell training that consisted one-handed swings, two-handed swings, cleans, snatches and Turkish Get Up. Prior to the 8 weeks, the subjects underwent 2 sessions of kettlebell training to learn the proper techniques of the kettlebell lifts used in the study which I feel would have helped the subjects made the huge improvement. To me, it is no surprise that kettlebell training improve core strength that much because all kettlebell exercises require strong core activation to perform them. Especially the Turkish Get Up, it is a brilliant core strength builder. With a stronger set of core muscles, it can only mean less chances of low back troubles.
The same study also found that dynamic balance is improved by 7% which can only be a great thing for preventing falls as we aged.
Kettlebells Training Is a Simple & Yet Reliable Conditioning Tool
If you think about buying a treadmill or taking up a gym membership just for the cardio machine, you are better off in the long run getting yourself a trusty kettlebells. The "Kettlebells Kick Butt" study found that kettlebell training boost aerobic capacity by 13.8%. Just doing the kettlebell swings alone not only gonna challenge your cardiovascular system it will tighten up the bum and core muscles. If you get the right instructions, I will bet that you will be panting away after several sets of kettlebell swings.
And you can always rely on the trusty kettlebells. It will not bail out on you as it will not break down, need no electricity to power it and almost zero maintenance. All you need is a small space and you can get your fitness training with the trusty Russian strength tool. Plus, the cost of owning a small sets of kettlebell is far cheaper than paying for gym memberships.
Kettlebell Training Builds Functional Strength NOT Just Cosmetic Muscles
If you care only about building cosmetic muscles that does nothing more than just for show, then kettlebell training is not for you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking great but if you care about how your body can become stronger and improve performance in everyday's physical tasks and athletic pursuits then Hardstyle kettlebell training can do wonders. Kettlebell training uses predominately both full-body movement patterns and explosive movements that help prepare the body to cope with high demand physical activities. One of my clients who struggled to lose weight before not only lost 23kg he also improves on his golf performance with a stronger body as a results of training with kettlebells. You can find more about his training at this link.
If you are a female and worry about how kettlebell training may make you less feminine and become bulkier, there is no reason for that concern. In fact, you will lose more body fat, become stronger and look better if you train with weights. To find out more about why female will not bulk up from strength training and how to avoid bulking up and lose more fat with weight training, see this link. I have female client who could do 24kg Turkish Get Up and another female client who does 20kg bent press and deadlift more than her own bodyweight and none of them got bulkier and instead look leaner and more athletic.
Here is a video of my female training client below who did a 24kg Turkish Get Up and she carries no muscle bulk.
Why Kettlebells & NOT a Fancy Gym?
If you are after a great looking body, losing body fat, becoming stronger, fitter and perform better at daily physical tasks be it work or sports, kettlebell is all you need. It will help you hack the fat off your body and make you a stronger person. BTW, I am not against having a fancy gym membership if you actually use it or one of your purposes is to check out the pretty boys and girls that hang out in the gym. My point is if you are serious and focus about your training all you need is a simple approach and a simple tool. And kettlebell training is a definitely simple training approach with a simple tool that can help your achieve your fitness goals. No fancy props required. But be sure that you have the right instructions how to use the kettlebells for best results and save you the trouble of injuring yourself. If you were thinking about getting high quality instructions, be sure to check the certified kettlebell instructors from StrongFirst & Dragon Door.
If you are after a great resource how to best use the kettlebells, do check out this book called Enter The Kettlebell. It will cover all the basics of kettlebell lifts you need to know and comes with 2 fail-proof programs called "Program Minimum" and "Rite of Passage" to help you get a stronger and leaner body.
But do not completely rely on a book to master all the techniques in the kettlebell. You just can't beat the hands-on instruction you get from qualified kettlebell instructors from StrongFirst & Dragon Door and the time saved from troubleshooting bad forms.

Beware if you plan to have snail mail forwarded. I moved from a local address to a new local address a month ago and gave our post office a completed forwarding form, trusting that my mail would be forwarded reasonably promptly. Not so.
After a month of not getting any forwarded mail and being told a dozen excuses such as it has to be processed in the system, it is being held in St. Louis, Indianapolis, etc., and being treated like a dummy for not understanding the situation, I am completely frustrated and have lost all respect for our postal service. When or whether I will get my mail is a mystery.

Benefits are available to veterans discharged or separated from active duty under conditions (other than dishonorable) who have completed the required period of service, or U.S. Armed Forces members who die during active duty. Spouses and dependent children of eligible living and deceased veterans, and of current and deceased armed forces members, may also be eligible.
Note: The surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who remarried a non-veteran prior to October 31, 1990, and whose remarriage was terminated by death or divorce prior to or on that date is eligible for burial in a national cemetery. A surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who remarried a non-veteran prior to October 31, 1990, and whose remarriage was intact on or after that date, however, is not eligible for burial in a national cemetery. A surviving spouse who remarries a non-veteran after October 31, 1990, is not eligible for burial in a national cemetery.
Burial Grave in a National Cemetery
Headstones and Markers
The United States Government provides headstones and markers for the graves of veterans and eligible dependents anywhere in the world that are not already marked. Flat bronze, flat granite, flat marble, and upright marble types are available to mark the grave of a veteran or dependent in the style consistent with exiting monuments at the place of burial. Bronze niche markers are also available to mark columbaria in national cemeteries used for inurnment of cremated remains (some cemeteries charge for marker installation).
Burial at Sea
Burial at sea is not just a tradition that was practiced by the Navy of old. It is a means of final disposition of cremated and intact remains that is offered to and still utilized by active duty, retired, and honorable veterans of all branches of the United States military. Burial at sea services are performed while the vessel is on official maneuvers; consequently, it is impossible for the family to be present. The family is notified by the commanding officer of that vessel of the date, time, longitude, and latitude of the committal service.
Individuals eligible for this program are members of the uniformed services, veterans discharged under honorable conditions, United States civilian marine personnel of the Military Sealift Command, and dependents of members, retirees, and veterans of the uniformed services.
Presidential Memorial Certificate
The Presidential Memorial Certificate is a parchment with a calligraphic inscription expressing the nation's grateful recognition of the veteran's service. The veteran's name is inscribed, and the certificate bears the signature of the President and the presidential seal in gold foil.
Reimbursement of Burial Expenses
The United States Government provides a $300 burial and funeral expense allowance for veterans who, at the time of death, were entitled to receive pension or compensation or would have been entitled to compensation but for receipt of military retirement pay. Eligibility is also established when death occurs in a Veterans' Administration facility or a nursing home which the Veterans' Administration contracted, and additional costs of transportation of the remains may be reimbursed in those cases. Claims must be filed within two years after permanent burial or cremation.
United States Burial Flag
How to Contact the Veterans' Administration
Military veterans and their dependents are entitled to a variety of benefits depending on their circumstances. Once you have determined what benefits can be claimed and you have gathered all the forms and information that apply to you, you may contact the Veterans Affairs at (800) 827-1000 or reach them through their website, www.va.gov
- Certified copy of or original DD214 (Enlisted Record of Separation)
- Certified copy of or original marriage certificate
- Certified copy of Death Certificate
- Verification of amount of life insurance you will receive as a result of veteran's death
- Paid receipts for funeral and cemetery expense
- Paid receipts for hospital and doctor bills incurred by last illness, if applicable
- Social Security number for yourself and your dependent children
- If the veteran or yourself was previously married, you will need a certified copy of or original divorce decree, or a Death Certificate proving the previous marriage was dissolved by divorce or death
- If there are dependent children: For children under the age of 18, or over 18 and still in school, you need certified copies of original birth certificates for each. If the dependent children are over 18 and still in school, you will need VA Form 21-674 filled out.
- If either of you currently receive Social Security benefits, you will need to know the exact amount received for each of you
- If you already have a VA claim number, you must furnish the VA with the claim number you have been assigned
- If either of you receive additional income, the source and exact amount of the benefit must be reported to the VA

Just d/loading the new eps of Dexter ... anyone seens them yet ? .. is it the goods ?
Loving the new entourage too
Bailey says goodbye to Buzzcocks
It certainly does suck. Could have at least got some better guest captains though. Noel Fielding was a worthy fill in last series.
I have finally got up to speed with Entourage. The ep where they take mushies in the desert was absolute brilliance!
My guilty pleasure at the moment is pushing daisies. Its so quirky and fun and I can't help but smile like a moron whilst watching it.
Whatever you do, do not watch a series called Valentines, very lame... even more so trance!
Its about some gods who try to make people fall in love... just trust when I say don't even consider it. Save your quota for some goat pr0n or sumthing.
New Dexter
New Californication
and as much as Heroes isn't what it used to be, I'm still enjoying it
Introducing MC Noskills and DJ lessskillsthanMC!!
Oh! I also love new Pushing Daisies!
It is by far my most favourite show at the moment
Introducing MC Noskills and DJ lessskillsthanMC!!
can't get enough of Entourage, Californication and Sarah Connor Chronicles atm
ep 4 season 2 of Californication has to be the best ep so far. its fukn hilarious.
just finshed watching ep 7 season 5 Entourage. next few episodes look to be awesome now that Ari has been offered the job head of a major movie studio. It started off slow but season 5 is starting to get much better.
hey how many episodes of a tv series do you go before giving it the yay or nay?
does it depend how long it is?
no chocolate!
id say 3 - 45min eps.
new heroes WOO!
finally got through all of supernatural - watching the new eps now XD
Most series I would allow 2 eps though with that show I mentioned previously (Valentines) I watched 10 mins of the actual show skipped forward another 5 mins, skpipped forward another 5 mins then turned off my xbox and deleted the episode from my hard drive.
Anyone into cooking shows?
I've developed a liking for this show called Feasting on Waves.
After watching the first 4 eps I so badly want to make johnny cakes. Its a great documentary style cooking/travel show which makes me want to cook a new recipe after each show... Actually now that I think about it I have cooked something after watching each episode.
"In this spin off of Food Network's Feasting on Asphalt, host Alton Brown takes to the waters instead of the streets to find the most authentic food in each area he visits. Alton and his crew will sail the Caribbean on the same course Christopher Columbus embarked on in 1492.
Season One Mission Statement:
My Mission, to push past the cruise ship buffets and chain food eateries to seek out true island cuisine - wherever it may be. It's a tough job, but one that needs doing, I'm Alton Brown and this is Feasting on Waves."
I just realised I have used all my peak quota
Damn you internets.
on tv i give it a minimum of 2, or maximum of 6 if i think theres potential but the first eps are a bit meh
shows like lost (seasons 1 & 2) kind of ruined tv for me because now if i watch a new episode of something and dont go OMGWTFBBQ immediately i tend to write it off, which isn't always fair. alot of series take at least a half a season to get into thier swing, but if it doesnt grab me by ep 5 i'm usually not inclined to wait around for it anymore
sumdae i be big and u be sowry
lost season 5 trailer - http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/10/22/...son-5-trailer/
haven't read the thread, but Fringe is a good show to check - written by the same guys as Lost.
Dexter is done with!
Could only watch 5 minutes into the new ep and had to turn it off. Fucking Dexter hanging out with his knocked up bitch thinking about marriage for one of his tedious think alongs and then cutting to a BBQ with fucking Jimmy Smits.
The Shield however is firing up for its finale.
I just picked up the third season of My Name Is Earl.
And got a TV on DVD sampler with the fist episodes from Bones S2, Boston Legal S4 and Prison Break S3 on it.
Take this loveCalls your nameNo need to walk aloneFrom nowhere to now here
i love heroes s3 at the mo, im up to episode 5. its added a lot of dimension to the characters, i like the way they are blurring the lines between good and evil, making you think twice about certain people and their true motivations. plus its revealing a lot of good plot points that shows like lost took a bit too long to do.
i wanna start watching bsg properly - i hear nothing but good about it, ive only seen a few eps of season 1 but what i saw was ace.
also keen to check out sarah connor new season - i liked the first one, apart from the way it took a while to get going.
ooh that could be very cool. while i was reading them i kept going 'this would make a great move/TV show'
Only the Polytron reduces an entire mouse to a soup-like homogenate in 30 seconds
only just watched breaking bad season 1... really good!
watching ep 1 of season 1 - pushing daisies.
HA! love it
i just finished all of supernatural, time to start on this i think
how many seasons are there?
I think it's up to episode 5 in season 2
Pie maker

1/ peep show
2/ mitchell and webb look
3/ mitchell and webb experience
<3 it!
MadTV and Stupid, Stupid Man are both shows that I am enjoying of late (dunno if MadTV is shown on free to air though).
Watching the next season in line of The L Word, it gets a bit better as it goes along and I get addicted at times...even when it's not that great an episode, your pants will still be stimulated. Sexual.
The chick drama made for men too.

That's what she said.
I am not sure whether to believe he actually means that or not. Not for everyone I guess but i'd say it would appeal to some men
That's what she said.
Gossip girl.. finally getting the time to marathon catch up on the episodes of season two .. chuck bass <3
There's one girl (the "i dunno if i'm lesbian but i'm going to have girl sex anyway" one) that is mildly cute and has a reasonable body - the rest are just.... normal. None of them I'd get all worked up about.
Couple that with the shit writing and ridiculously boring plot line, and it makes for one insanely boring show. It's still better than Hollyoaks though.
haha i was never on the l-words side! I gave it an episode and now it only ever gets put on when Amber complains.
i downloaded that clone wars dvd today. Although Fallout3 is waiting at the post office for me, hoping I can get at least half an hour in tonight before doing other stuff.
been watching clone wars past couple days.
the new south park ep is FANTASTIC!
Over the last 2 weeks I have watched the first 3 seasons of 'Weeds'. Fucking LOVE that show!!!
Who has season 4?
Coming up for TLOY Perth:
Octave One (live)
Ben Sims
Robert Hood
I am so fucking behind, the last few weeks Shorty, her cuz and me have been thrashing Dexter. Upto Season 2... last night I caught myself looking at the DVD case and wondering how I could grind the next 3 episodes down and inject it into my jugular.
By the way, Chud is Biznatch.

She is just about the same age as my daughter, so I knew exactly what to talk about. She was so sweet and funny and giggly and sunny – the quintessential little girl. We lucked out with a nice day and had a great time. Of course, it is easy to get good pictures when the subject is so happy.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a device (Provent) that attaches to the outside of the nose for the treatment of sleep apnea and snoring. The device, called an expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) device, looks like a disk. One disk is attached over each nostril. A valve positioned over the nostril does not block air that you breathe in. But the valve makes it harder to breathe out. A little back-pressure builds up in the airways, and that pressure can help keep the airways open during sleep.
One study tested the device on people with mild to severe sleep apnea. Results showed that it reduced the number of times breathing was disrupted while sleeping.1 Use of the nasal disks also reduced daytime sleepiness in the people who used them.
Results of another study showed that half of the people who used the disks had a measurable improvement in their sleep apnea.2 The device worked best for people with mild sleep apnea.
You need a prescription from a doctor to get the disks.
