Yesterday, March 14th, the city of Phoenix, in the County of Maricopa, in the State of Arizona, celebrated St. Paddy's Day with a downtown parade. Celebrating a holiday two days early may not seem unusual for a city with a reputation for being a renegade location inhabited by conservative, border-scrutinizing citizens who shun such nation-wide traditions as daylight savings time in favor of less, rather than more, daylight hours in summer. Our household, having one person of partial Irish heritage, decided we qualified to join in the celebration, albeit two days too early. The other reason was our two "grand-dogs", Hogan Leonardo and younger brother Chuckles Cornelius, were participants in a fund raiser: Basset Hound Rescue. One of the benchmark indications of mastering a task is the ability to make an exceedingly challenging task look effortless. Taking a gaggle of leashed pups that have extremely short, sturdy legs and ears long enough to drag on the ground (which routinely get trounced on by those very same sturdy paws) and marshalling them into a dynamic marching parade troupe is no small task. But that wasn't our problem as we sat, curbside, taking pictures of the usual municipal parade participants: politicians, marching bands (in this case the bagpipe busker* variety), vintage automobiles (in this case the convertible variety to accommodate dignitaries and beauty queens waving to the crowd with the standard royalty salute), Irish Dance Clubs, and (this being a former frontier town) horses, stagecoaches, and wagons. At the end of the parade came our troupe of pups, some bedecked in green hats, others in vests, bows, or neckties (one young spectator speculated, "Look! That dog must be a lawyer.") The route was a full mile in length and it was a typical warm winter day in Phoenix (which means in the mid-80s), and there was no "pooped pup" truck available in case of fatigue. So the team crossed the finish line looking a bit bedraggled and in need of a big slurp of water and a long afternoon nap. But they triumphed in raising awareness about the need to rescue abandoned Basset Hounds along with a nice chunk of change collected from supporters of the cause. Here is a salute to the dogs, owners, and donors for a good job, well done!
*Busking is the practice of performing in public places, for gratuities. In many countries the rewards are generally in the form of money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given. Street performance is practiced all over the world by men, women and children and dates back to antiquity. In English-speaking countries people engaging in this practice are called street performers or buskers.

Academic Attributions for Success and Failure among Asian Americans.
Tom, David; Cooper, Harris
In a study of academic attribution patterns, teachers were asked to suggest causes for the successes and failures of students whose backgrounds had been manipulated to provide various combinations of social class (middle, lower), race (White, Asian American), and gender. It was found that teachers cited causes internal to the student more often for success than failure, and teacher-related causes more frequently for failure than success. It was also found that the more similar the student's background to the teacher's, the more likely the teacher was to "count" the student's successes and "discount" the failures. Middle class White successes were more likely to be attributed to internal stable causes than were Asian and lower class successes. White female successes were more likely than failures to be attributed to stable effort causes, while White male and Asian student data did not reveal this difference. Also, teachers took more responsibility for Asian females' failures than successes and for Asian females' failures than Asian males' failures. Overall, student background results provided ambiguous evidence concerning whether prior expectations or outgroup prejudice, or both, influence attributions. Lower class students, a low expectation outgroup, showed the least favorable attribution pattern. Asians, a high expectation outgroup, showed more favorable attributions than lower class students but less favorable patterns, relative to middle class Whites, than prior expectations might have predicted.

Is organized crime involved with union affairs in New York City? Is the mob involved with their daily operations, work stoppages and protests?
I was in Manhattan last week, and while on my way to a meeting there was a big commotion with banging drums and a group chanting, "union…union…" across the street from the Omni Berkshire Hotel on 52nd and Madison. There was a 10-foot tall inflatable rat placed in the street directly in front of the hotel's main entrance to imply the hotel's management is rodent-like in their dealings with their particular union.
It was a small gathering, maybe 20 guys who looked like rugged dudes from Hollywood Central Casting, if there indeed was a call for longshoreman and construction workers. The guys were mostly standing around looking like rugged union members tend to look, while a couple of loud-mouths did the screaming into a distorted bullhorn.
And then I saw him, in the sea of ruggedness, there he was. We made eye contact, and I made him. He wasn't rugged, and he wasn't a loudmouth. He was standing behind the barricade next to the HVAC guys, looking like a leftover from a Soprano's episode. He didn't wear a well-worn paint-stained t-shirt like the rest of the guys, calloused hands or a weathered leathery skin from decades of working in the elements. No, he had perfectly combed, slicked-back hair, a designer sweater and gold chain around his neck. It wasn't a Sir Mix-A-Lot rope chain, but it wasn't purchased at Zale's for $99.00 either.
He looked how "muscle" is supposed to look, or at least how it's portrayed in the movies.
Could he have been there to protect the "interests" of someone or some group, or protect the union workers from being harassed by hotel security or a local beat cop? Maybe.
Could he have simply been the well-dressed son of one of the protesters hanging out in the middle of the afternoon showing solidarity and support for his dad's union? Maybe.

Sun May II
Lay about nearly all day. Pleasant morning as Lisa + Kevin were out at Sunday School. Mrs Jacksons dad came round this afternoon.
Sunday School was something of a strange affair in our house. For a start, it was something which I never went to at any time in my life. As the offspring of two parents with very divergent backgrounds in this respect – one brought up yards from a church, one brought up very much outside of it – I have always felt that we were pretty much left to make our own minds up so far as religion was concerned.
With this in mind, I am not sure how it came to be that Lisa and Kevin went to Sunday School when neither Karen nor I did. It could be something as simple as them asking to go. I think it more likely that it was connected to schooling.
Karen and I went to schools which, though there was a strongly Christian element to them, were never closely aligned with one branch of Christianity or another. However, Mum and Dad took a decision would send Lisa and Kevin to a different junior school, a good school which happened to be aligned with the Roman Catholic church. There were good reasons for this, but they were not, so far as I am aware, connected to faith at all.
So strong was the religious environment at that school that it took a long time for me to realise that the song my little brother and sister would occasionally sing was 'Welcome to our Mass today' and not 'We can't do our maths today'!
Whether or not this strong religious trait had any bearing upon the fact that, both here and in England, they went to Sunday School I do not know. What I do know is that I was glad to have them out of the house for a couple of hours. That was nothing personal. I was such a loner that I was glad to get any of the other five members of the household out of it for a while.

Disclaimer: Not mine.
A/N: this is possibly the fluffiest, cheesiest most pointless thing I've ever written. I however enjoyed writing every word.
Of she-devils and heart explosion.
Kurt could barely see through the veil of tears. Was it possible to feel so much joy and not have your heart explode? Kurt figured it was possible since his heart was still beating in his chest. It was beating harder than ever and it seemed that he would never recover but it was still whole. He felt Blaine squeeze his hand and Kurt leaned a little bit farther onto his husbands shoulder.
Blaine was his husband. The thought was almost too much to process.
Kurt swallowed and tried to wipe away the tears as his father shuffled awkwardly on the small stage. He felt that familiar warmth spread through his chest at the sight of his wonderful father but today, watching him mumble a speech about love and family while trying not to blush, the warmth was accompanied with an ache. The knowledge that his childhood really was over. It has been quite a long while since Kurt and Burt were everything to each other. Hell, it had been years since they had shared a home but Kurt never doubted, not for one second that he had the best Father in the world.
It hurt a little to move on. It didn't matter that his father was a phone call away or that the life he had built with Blaine in New York was everything he wanted and more. It still hurt.
As if sensing his sadness, Blaine leaned closer and pecked Kurt's cheek softly. He let the sensation was over him and sighed. Still sad but a lot better.
Blaine had always made things better.
"… To go through all of that and still have so much love to offer each other and people around them… well I find it amazing," his father was saying, his voice resounding proudly around the room. "I'm proud of you guys and I love you," Burt kept going and it was good thing Kurt was sitting down or he'd have fallen off his chair. It wasn't that his father was afraid of using those words; it was just something he always did in private.
"To the happy couple!" his father grinned and his eyes were suspiciously shimmering. Kurt got up quickly, not even hearing the applause around him as he made his way to Burt and simply launched himself on his father. They shared a long hug, a hug that only the Hummels were capable of and it was all either man needed. They broke apart long enough to include Blaine and soon, they were at it again. People around them were laughing and crying and cheering and Kurt felt that the memory of this moment will keep him happy until his last day.
Five minutes later, Kurt and Burt were on the dance floor while Rachel tearfully sang Father and son. Soon they were joined by other parent/children couples and Kurt smiled at his father.
"Thank you," he said.
Burt shrugged. "You deserve happiness, kid. I'm just happy for you," his voice was rough and Kurt felt his heart squeeze in the most bittersweet way. He laid his head on his father's shoulder and closed his eyes letting his big-hearted father comfort him.
After Rachel's performance, Puck, Mike and Artie followed with the highly inappropriate and rock and roll version of Put your hands on me. Kurt was shaking his head as Blaine and Tina danced their way through the song like two children on a sugar rush.
Then came Finn's best man speech. It was funny and sweet and heartfelt and everything Finn could do when his heart really was in something. Kurt didn't cry this time, too busy laughing at the old jokes and stilted innuendo his brother was making but he did catch Blaine trying to discretely wipe away a few tears. He caught his gaze and mouthed: 'Really?' but Blaine just shrugged with a small smile. Kurt rolled his eyes but he did bring Blaine closer for quick hug and smooch.
"You're such a softie," he teased.
"Shut up," Blaine said snuggling closer.
Kat, Blaine's best friend from college came to claim Kurt for a dance and Blaine grabbed Rachel before she could run to Finn. They laughed and danced and giggled until they couldn't breathe anymore and the sappiness of the moment would have killed Santana if she hadn't been missing for the last half hour.
Quinn, Tina, Brittany and a few of the Warblers took the stage and brought the house down with a crazy rendition of Can't help falling in love with you. Not a single soul was left out of the dance floor, grandparents, uncles, aunts, young cousins, siblings, friends, glee clubbers; everyone was rocking its way around the dance floor. Blaine and Kurt got separated early into the song and changed so many partners that by the end of it they found themselves in each other's arm again.
"Hello, husband," Blaine smiled goofily.
"Hmmm, I like the sound of that," Kurt smirked and kissed him. "I like it a lot."
"Enjoying the party?" Blaine asked when his lips were available again.
"You know I am," Kurt replied squeezing his husband's waist. "I couldn't have dreamed it better."
The song came to an end as Blaine was showing Kurt a new dance move. They laughed and joined in the applause. They were about to get back to their seats as diner would be served next when Santana appeared on stage. She looked stunning in her red cocktail dress and her hair curled around her beautiful face. She looked around the room until she found the married couple and smiled at them. That woman could take on the world with a smile that. Strangely enough, she seemed nervous. She took a deep breath and came to the microphone.
"Hi. I know we're all hungry so I won't take too much of your time," Kurt was surprised by the sweetness of her voice. Over the years, Santana had matured a lot and had learned to control her tongue. In other words, she had learned to take people's feelings into consideration. However, she rarely every sounded vulnerable or sweet. Yet, here she was, smiling nervously at Kurt and Blaine, her eyes soft and unguarded.
"I'm Santana, an old friend of the happy couple. Now, Klaine and I, we've been through a lot," she said grinning at them as the crowd laughed at their given name. "I haven't always been what you could call nice to these boys but despite all that, they've always been there for me. Always. Even when I mocked their hair and their bowties. Always."
Kurt smiled softly and he entwined his fingers with Blaine's.
"They sang to me once. It was a dark time for me and I reacted to their kindness the only way I knew how, I mocked them. I never told you this but I've regretted it ever since. And todays, on this wonderful occasion, I'd like to pay you back. A song for a song."
She smiled and gave her cue to the band which started playing Halo.
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
Her voice was deep and husky and beautiful and Kurt felt tears spring up. Blaine pulled him into his arms and they started to sway to the music.
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
"My angel," Blaine whispered and Kurt laughed.
"Such a dork!"
"Shh! Listen!"
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Santana was joined on stage by all the girls of their old glee club and everyone went to sit, leaving Blaine and Kurt dancing alone.
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
"She chose wisely, our little she-devil," Kurt whispered and kissed Blaine softly.
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
Santana got off the stage mic in hand and joined them on the dance floor. They pulled her into their arms and together they sang the chorus. And then they kept on singing until everyone of their friends, even the newer ones, and the one who never sang outside of their showers joined in. By the end of it, Blaine, Santana and Kurt were mess of tears and bubbling laughter. They hugged each other, trading insults and loving words and Kurt was sure that if his heart had not exploded then, it never would.

Warranty for all models: 1 year parts and labor
Summary: Videophile performance at mass market prices with one 1080p24 bug
In case you hadn't heard, the HD format war is over. The Blu-ray camp struck a huge win just before CES when Warner Brothers announced they would be moving exclusively to Blu-ray by mid year, tipping the scales majorly in Blu-ray's favor. Then, in February 2008, Toshiba announced it would discontinue the development, manufacturing and marketing of HD DVD, officially ending the format war. They did, however, confirm that they would honor the warranty of all HD DVD players.
The Toshiba HD DVD players featured in this review were the latest (and as it turns out, last) generation to be released. While it may seem an empty effort to review them now since HD DVD has removed itself from the race, these third generation players from Toshiba have a performance response at crazy low prices to be reckoned with and deserve the full story. For the movie buff that wants it all, HD DVD is still necessary since it could be some time before the movies that were released exclusively in that format are released again on Blu-ray. And for some titles, it may not be worth the effort re-releasing them on Blu-ray, leaving the HD DVD release as the only HD version available.
The third generation players clearly show a cookie cutter style of manufacturing and marketing, offering three general retail models with differing features (HD-A3, HD-A30 and HD-A35) along with a warehouse retailer version (HD-D3). Looking at these players you would be hard pressed to see any difference from the front or back.
The HD-A3 was purchased by a friend and tested at his house. The HD-A30 was purchased through a Best Buy outlet and then exchanged at a later date for the HD-A35 because, to the surprise of Best Buy staff and yours truly, only that model supports native bit stream for HD audio codecs. Those were tested here at the lab. In the end, I was unable to find any performance difference between these players when comparing similar capabilities. Indeed, the only difference appears to be the feature set.
Common Features for All Models
HD-A30 Adds
HD-A35 Adds
Missing features you might have expected, all models
Opening the Boxes
The HD-A30 was well packed, yet cheap by comparison to previous models; not a big deal as much as an observation. I actually wondered if the product was a repack but looking at the factory seal and other things it didn't appear to be. The HD-A35 seemed packed better than the HD-A30, making me wonder about it being a repack. Those concerned about rack space and the larger cabinet styles of 1st generation product from either camp will rejoice over Toshiba's 2nd and 3rd generation players, which come in a smaller cabinet, cutting previous cabinet height by about half, to 2.25 inches. For the 3rd generation products the drawer is all the way to the right and everything else to the left and the same goes for the back panel of connections that are now on the right rather than the left. I did find it odd to have the front panel reversed from most player designs where the drawer is either on the left side or middle. It was a curiosity each time I had to access the drawer! In terms of fit and finish it does not have the high end impressionable look of the 1st generation players. Nope, this is a humble product at a humble price. If there was any sense of cheapness it was clearly found with the black remote included with all models up to the HD-A30 which had the look and feel of having been paired with a sub $100 cheap and inexpensive product for the masses. You won't feel like you are controlling your product in style. That said, it has one thing that fancy 1st generation remote didn't: functionality and ease of use. The cursor buttons work and you can read the labels, which trumps style any day! The remote for the HD-A35 is identical to what came with most of the 2nd generation players, being longer and skinnier and adding direct access simplistic TV controls, but overall the same fit and finish of the HD-A3 and HD-A30 remotes.
Out of Box Performance
Hooking up either player to a BenQ W10000 DLP Front projector, I found it preset for 16:9 1080p. Going into the setup menu I switched the player to 1080p24 and ran the DVE HD DVD test material. Looking over at the receiver it showed a PCM multi-channel input with the HD-A30 and bit stream labels with the HD-A35 after changing some audio settings in the player menu. Everything seemed to look and sound great. On to objective testing...
On the Test Bench
This will be the first HD disc player review where all aspects of video performance can be bench tested using the Digital Video Essentials HD DVD/DVD combo test and calibration disc. What follows is objective testing for both SD DVD and HD DVD content via HDMI at 720p, 1080i and 1080p along with component analog video at 480p for SD DVD and component analog at 720p and 1080i for HD DVD. All video testing was performed on the HD-A30 in the lab with a follow up confirmation of the HD-A35. The HD-A3 was tested in the owner's home.
Our current SD DVD reference player and benchmark is the fully reviewed OPPO DV-981HD.
The very ability to inspect and view an HDMI video source goes directly against the copyright capability of the connection and copy protection since the means to see it would infer a means to steal it. At this time the Panasonic PTAE-1000U has been kept in the stable just for this purpose using the Wave Form Monitor feature. While the Wave Form Monitor does suffer when looking at high frequency response video such as bursts, it is also the perfect tool for checking IRE levels and color decoding. This does come with the limitation of only being able to check YPbPr output, making me unable to verify the switching to RGB output that would be required for a DVI input. Some of the results are based on visual calibration checks as well as signal, as noted. All tests were performed using Digital Video Essentials test patterns as the source material.
Video Levels
With waveform monitoring, the Toshiba players output 0IRE and 100IRE at the correct 16/235 levels via HDMI for both disc formats at all HD scan rates.
Via analog component, the Toshiba had a peak white output about 2 IRE above 100 IRE for SD DVD at 480p as well as HD DVD at 720p and 1080i. Considering the nature of video content, this is a marginal error that will only show up on occasion if perceived at all. For a digital display this may cause crushing of peak white especially if the display was calibrated without any headroom for exactly this type of condition. For analog CRT displays this will likely be negligible. Nonetheless, it is an error.
Color Decoding
With waveform monitoring the Toshiba players output correct color decoding at all HD scan rates with all formats and connections.
Via HDMI or analog video, the Toshiba players had the usual amount of scaling artifacts observed for color bar patterns where two colors meet. Having artifacts in this area of response is unfortunately common. All the Toshiba players and the OPPO DV981HD generated about the same level of error over the same number pixels.
Horizontal Frequency Response Luminance
With HD DVD via HDMI, all scan rates reproduced a flawless response, as expected. Note that for 720p and 1080p testing the source content used was native to that scan rate as well as pixel mapped, a great feature of the DVE HD DVD disc providing a fair comparison for both HD scan rates.
SD DVD is not pixel mapped. As noted, Waveform monitoring response was useless for this test. Visually the Toshiba passed the continuous frequency burst test at 1080p HDMI quite well for luminance, bettering the reference OPPO. Moving on to the high frequency pattern, recall that I have yet to see any player or scaler/player combo pass this pattern correctly ... and the Toshiba was no exception. This pattern always has banding as well. The best I can state on this is a high, medium or a low contrast response with high being the best and low being the worst. The Toshiba provided a high contrast response bettering the OPPO. 720p HDMI was similar in response but with a bit more banding which is to be expected when having less pixels to scale with.
Analog component video had a similar response at 480p.
Vertical Frequency Response Luminance
With HD DVD via HDMI, all scan rates reproduced a flawless response, as expected. Note that for 720p and 1080p testing the source content used was native to that scan rate as well as pixel mapped.
Via HDMI all scan rates reproduced a great response. Vertical frequency response was excellent in 1080p. Typically 720p scaling of SD DVD cannot figure out which dark and white stripes it should favor with white being predominant in the top or bottom burst and black predominant in the other. The HD-A30 sets a benchmark by getting this right for both areas at 720p.
Analog component video had a great response at 480p.
Frequency Response Color
The Toshiba provided the best response so far providing a smooth even response across the screen for both red and blue channels for all formats at all scan rates and connections bettering the OPPO for SD DVD.
Analog component video responded quite well at 480p.
CUE, Chroma Upsampling Error - SD DVD only
This causes a vertical breakup of color detail in the vertical plane, typically expressed in reds but can show up for other colors as well. It is related to the player using only one MPEG decoding method rather than both interlace and progressive and applying the correct version to the native source on the disc. The Toshiba failed this test but normal failure of this test is clear vertical tearing/combing of red. These artifacts appeared in a very subtle manner and videophiles are likely to pick up on it. CUE errors are much rarer these days, and with the error being subtle it is difficult to make a huge issue out of this.
Aspect Ratio Control
The Toshiba provides an auto 16:9/4:3 switching mode allowing the player to maintain correct aspect if the content is properly flagged with special features or 4:3 movies adding black side bars. The Toshiba provides another first for the 4:3 mode using no overscan at all; a welcomed surprise and yet again, better than the OPPO.
For the DVD collector looking for great performance with all DVD mastering from 4:3 letter boxed sources to special features, the Toshiba has nothing to offer. This capability and level of performance still resides in the external scaling market.
SD DVD Scaling Analog Component Video
The Toshiba was tested at 480p HDMI feeding a 1080p DLP front projector with pixel mapped centered output, along with an adjusted viewing distance to compensate, using the DVE chapter 17 A/V Demonstration material.
The Toshiba passed with flying colors providing the same common level of performance I would expect from most any 480p analog component video output.
SD DVD Scaling HDMI
The Toshiba was tested at 1080p60, 1080p24 and 720p HDMI feeding a 1080p DLP front projector with pixel mapped centered output using the DVE A/V Demonstration material.
Wow! 1080p24 scaling with SD DVD? Don't get excited because the player does not use intelligent scaling and the raw source to actually do that. Instead this is an operational error that could be corrected via software. But until that happens, this is a problem area for both formats if using the 1080p24 output setting! SD DVD is encoded from the original 24 (film) or 30 (video) frame interlaced source for the format along with progressive flags that allows inexpensive dumb scaling within the player. The player then uses those flags to reconstruct the interlaced source as a progressive image as it is told. If the source is properly mastered with these progressive flags, you get excellent 480p 30 frame scaled material designed for the standard 60 hertz vertical refresh of all displays. So far, all players reviewed have used this dumb scaling system for SD DVD to generate quality 480p content and then scale it to 720p60, 1080i60 or 1080p60. The Toshiba works the same way except that it does not automatically switch back and forth between 1080p24 and 1080p60 to reflect the disc format you are watching unlike other players that have been reviewed; it stays in 1080p24 mode with SD DVD. This naturally generates intermittent artifacts with SD DVD directly related to image content, causing aliasing of edges and a vertical combing or tearing of color resolution. The only solution is to manually switch the output for the disc type you are viewing, which is inconvenient and bound to trip up the viewer at some point when they forget to check/switch. Adding insult to injury, if you happen to check after you booted an HD DVD disc and need to change scan rates, you get to wait and then find your place on the disc since this forces a reboot of the disc; SD DVD allows you to return to where you were. The lack of auto switching is a sad over sight for performance enthusiasts with 1080p24 capable displays trying to reduce the amount of boxes in our systems for convenience sake.
Back to the correct 1080p60 setting for SD DVD...
During testing, the Toshiba excelled, with the DVE test patterns outperforming our reference OPPO DV-981HD for the SD DVD format. With that kind of response, it was no surprise that the demonstration material was rendered just as well. A few more great discs were tested making it clear that with properly mastered and flagged content, the Toshiba is one fine SD DVD player, period! There is a catch though. If the material is not properly mastered and flagged, it has no intelligent scaling to correct source errors as was the case with the CUE test which it did technically fail. I also have a very nasty improperly mastered DVD for testing such things and the OPPO smoked the Toshiba on such content; thank goodness that is rare. With typical mastering errors, the OPPO faired a little better than the Toshiba and in all fairness all mass market manufacturers have depended on the flagged dumb scaling system for years because it works as well, if not arguably better than external scaling, provided the rest of the player processing was as accurate. To be clear this is a case of absolutes and picking nits. The difference will vary with your display, viewing environment and viewing distance. My setup requires the best or artifacts will be plain. With that said I would live with the Toshiba and the occasional poor DVD on this system rather than having to deal with yet another box and connection for those rare occurrences. For me, those rare titles can also be viewed on the far more forgiving casual system upstairs!
Scaling HD DVD via HDMI and Analog Video
For 1080i analog video testing I used the Panasonic PTAE1000 instead due to excellent deinterlacing of 1080i content. Switching back to the BenQ via HDMI and 1080p60 it still looked great although in some of the DVE material such as the CG graphics of plant life, there were visible aliasing problems. This was intermittent and directly related to the detail content of the material. No real surprise here since the content is 1080p24 and 1080p60. 1080i60 and 720p60 requires 2/3 pull-down processing of that content.
Via HDMI and 1080p24 or 720p24 content the Toshiba delivered video perfection within the capability of the format with all test materials.
Audio Performance
The application of HD audio to either of the HD disc formats is quite complex, with potential land mines along the way. This is not an article on that topic, and for complete info I refer you to Multi-channel Audio for HD.
With the HD-A35 providing full bitstream support of all HD audio codecs, all you need is a compatible A/V receiver of your preference. For those with transitional PCM multi-channel HDMI supported A/V receivers, you are set to go with HD audio converted to multi-channel PCM and SD DVD outputting the native bitstream. Both methods require you use a digital video connection such as HDMI or DVI with HDCP. To be clear, the HD-A3 and HD-A30 DO NOT support bit stream from HD DVD, only PCM, still a huge step forward from using analog multi channel output and input connections.
The HD-A3 and HD-A30 convert the native codec of either format to PCM multichannel when using the HDMI output for both audio and video. You will need to enter the setup menu and change the settings for SD DVD to PCM or it will be only 2-channel. If you want the native codec from SD DVD you will have to connect the SD digital output to your receiver and switch to that input for the audio along with the settings for SD DVD to bitstream.
Bitstream versus PCM
The HD-A35 provided my first opportunity to directly compare the native bitstream to converted PCM. While PCM decoding should be identical in theory, the reality is upon entering your A/V receiver it will be sliced and diced yet again so it can be applied to your room correction and speaker setup which is part and parcel of any HT sound system. One of the annoying attributes of analog multi-channel inputs was the fact that you could not typically perform those functions at the receiver and the player lacked the in depth adjustments as a substitute. Those receivers that could perform those functions had to convert the analog back into digital for the slicing and dicing adding another process to degrade the sound. By being able to pass on the native bitstream from the disc to the receiver, some of these processing steps get bypassed providing the potential for superior performance. Another possibility is that the chip sets and codecs used by the receiver are superior to those used in the player. Based on testing, one of the two (or a combination of both) is what my ears experienced. The difference was not dramatic but it did exist. The best description is slightly more of everything as if a slight veil had been removed between my ears and the speakers. Like SD DVD, if you are looking for the best in sound, native bitstream decoding by your A/V receiver is the future!
Special features on the disc may add another layer of complexity for bitstream users depending on their application. Features such as directors comments or the new streaming of special features as a PIP function while watching the movie requires one or more additional tracks be added to the original soundtrack of the movie or allow switching back and forth, better known as advanced audio mix. Bitstream applications do not support that capability. To avoid end user confusion and possible complaints when the special features of a movie are missing their audio tracks, some discs may be flagged preventing your ability to ever process the original bitstream. Disc authors themselves may desire this to insure that you will fully benefit from the experience they have created (none of the HD DVDs used in this review had that flag). Under these circumstances, the player will only support such features as PCM or SD bit stream. When the disc is flagged this is automated and your HDMI bitstream will be switched to PCM so there is nothing for you to do. When optional, you will have to switch the player output to PCM for HDMI or use the SD digital connection for these special features. This application was not tested.
Mixing Analog Component Video with HDMI Audio
Only those with a display that does not support HDCP HDMI or DVI need to take note of this. For those upgrading a legacy home theater system using analog video connections and starting on the audio side with HDMI audio you are going to have some problems just like other HD disc players. If you intend to use the HDMI connection for audio and HD DVD, you will be pleased to know that you will get full HD audio support via bitstream or multi-channel. Unfortunately with SD DVD you will get sound but will be left out in the cold with no image at all. The fix for that is to use the optical SD digital audio output and setup another input on your receiver for that digital input. That should release the HDMI handshake from turning on the analog video again. As I was checking out how this would work for you I also found another operational bug; to get the bitstream from SD DVD I had to go into the setup menu and change the SPDIF output to bitstream, yet when I switched back to HD DVD the receiver would only indicate PCM rather than PCM 96khz requiring me to go back into the setup menu and change the SPDIF back to PCM to get PCM 96khz on the receiver. While SD DVD allows you to stop, make changes and return back to where you were HD DVD always forces a reboot if you press the stop key. The following is a frustrated general statement based on this and other reviews. This is yet another firmware or design flaw that could be overcome by allowing the product to automatically switch to the proper settings depending on the end users application. There is no reason these players cannot output HD audio via HDMI using bitstream or PCM with an HD disc at 1080i or 720p analog video and switch to SD bitstream or PCM at 480p analog video with SD DVD allowing those in transition to get the maximum benefits from both formats on the same player without additional setup effort, A/V switching or another player.
Putting this in perspective, those performance enthusiasts with legacy multiscan displays supporting native 480p probably have a good legacy 480p DVD player to go along with it. You could just keep using that for DVD if an additional box in the rack is of no concern. I get hit with folks wanting to upgrade to an upconverting player often and if you have a native 480p scan rate there is little to gain by upconverting to your HD scan rate and it could be argued you are creating more artifacts rather than less.
Ethernet Port
For most users you need to enter the setup menu and turn DHCP on and within that menu set DNS for auto. There are other settings to insure network compatibility. This port provides support for extra features using web based content along with firmware upgrades. Checking firmware, the player reported I had 1.0 and that 1.1 was available. The player failed on the first attempt to upgrade showing an error code on screen which locked up the player requiring an AC reboot, unplugging the AC cord. This qualifies as yet another performance bug because for most installations the product will likely end up buried with other equipment making access to the AC cord very inconvenient. The second attempt ended in success along with the fact that it was updated to 1.3, the current version as posted by Toshiba on their website and here at HD Library.
During testing one frustrating operational element reared its head over and over; While SD DVD allows you to stop, make changes and return back to where you were HD DVD always forces a reboot if you press the stop key. While mentioned already, it bears mentioning again.
Like the HD-A1, I continued to have an intermittent HDMI problem where the picture turned into a pixilated all red version of what it should be, related to the continual HDMI handshaking that occurs with either HD format as it goes from one bit of disc content to another on it's way to the main feature. The good news is this player finally supports hot plug and play of HDMI, unlike the HD-A1, and the fix was as simple as changing to another input and back to HDMI. For the HD-A1 I had to stop the disc and as noted that forces a reboot of the disc along with a test of my patience for that player. I don't know if this is the player or my system and cables. This problem has not occurred with any other HDMI source so naturally I am inclined to blame it on the player/Toshiba. That said, a subsequent change in the lengthy HDMI cable to the projector appears to have put a stop to this.
The HD-A30 skipped a beat in one of those crucial climax scenes during the end of Blood Diamond, a Netflix rental. Fortunately it did not destroy the entertainment but we were all cringing for a moment in anticipation of a complete lock up that never happened.
The HD-A30 and HD-A35 had problems with a Netflix rental of The Shooter during the last five minutes of the disc, which also happened to be one of the climaxes. To add insult to injury it locked up the player requiring removal of AC power to make it operational and for those with the product buried in a rack, a painful proposition! After numerous lengthy attempts I gave up and put the disc in an Xbox 360 setup with HD DVD drive and it played flawlessly. Physically the disc had scratches but in my experience I have seen discs in far worse condition.
During Serenity, a virgin HD DVD disc purchase, the HD-A35 direct bitstream HD audio simply stopped from one scene to the next and if it weren't for the fact that I had seen the movie before we might have watched for minutes as the lack of sound appeared to flow with the scene. Rewinding back to the error brought the sound back to life. Towards the end of the movie the picture started breaking up into blocks, the sound went haywire for a moment and when everything returned to normal there was a huge lip sync error. Simply pressing pause and then play cured the problem.
I can't tell you why I seem to be plagued with these kinds of HD DVD problems, but integrity requires I report this. That same integrity requires I remind you that there are plenty of others who have not had a problem but there has been no research to clear the air on whether this is a format problem or a hardware problem. Consider the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive experience as one hardware example that saved the day for The Shooter.
Like nearly all DVD players these days, there is no field support for service and repair. Contact Toshiba for the nearest repair depot for repair or exchange.
For 1.5 years the performance community has been waiting on a statement product for the HD DVD format and the Toshiba HD-A35 delivers that reference point for the best HD DVD can be providing native 1080p24 for the video and native HD audio codec bitstreams for your preferred compatible A/V receiver!
SD DVD scaling was exemplary and amongst the finest with good material. While it may not be the best with all content on DVD for the most part the main feature, the movie, is covered. If you want the best scaling for all content then an external scaler with an SDI equipped DVD player remains your only choice although an expensive one.
Unfortunately, there is a bug in the system. If you are running a 1080p24 display then the best response will only come from manually changing the output to the appropriate scan rate for your content. Let your ability to always remember to check be your guide.
It was evident from testing that as you go down from the HD-A35 to the other models there is no penalty in delivered performance, only in features. For analog component video applications the player receives high marks in scaling for both HD DVD at 1080i and SD DVD at 480p! Remember the video level error though for peak white, especially if you have a digital display.
Putting It in Perspective
The Toshiba provides reference quality for both SD and HD DVD formats. In that regard all models were a winner! Unfortunately for the technology challenged performance mass market and performance HT installers, the 1080p24 bug of the HD-A35 and HD-A30 with SD DVD is frustrating to no end. These clients are looking for auto pilot; not performance baby sitting nor multiple keystrokes on a remote in a menu they likely care less to understand. For most of these installations I can't see anything else to do but take a hit with one of the formats; artifacts with HD DVD at 1080p60 or artifacts with SD DVD at 1080p24. For the hands on user it is bound to become a nagging frustration to remember to switch scan rates all the time. Upgrading the firmware to 1.3 changed nothing on this front. The only good news is this has to be a simple firmware fix. The bad news is based on past history, if it even happens; it will likely happen in the long term rather than short. When the 2nd generation players were released the performance community wailed over the lack of native 1080p24 support for the HD DVD format and some folks at Toshiba said they would deliver while others refused to answer. Many retailers made promises to their customers! The fact is it took Toshiba about a year to provide that. With the demise of the format it is questionable that any further effort would be expended over this. Toshiba, please get this fixed!
Compared to other players I have reviewed, it is on top purely for delivering reference performance with both formats. I don't really need an external scaler or separate DVD player for top notch performance and that is a first so far.
If you are looking for an HD DVD player, any of the models provide a performance to cost ratio that currently is simply out of this world; choose the feature set you want and enjoy! On top of that, HD DVD discs are going to become very cheap in the coming months and some current owners see nothing but future opportunity.
If you are looking for an upconverting player for SD DVD that does 720p, 1080i or 1080p the HD-A30 at $199 MSRP is 100% competitive as well as a huge videophile bargain considering the reference response! If you don't need or want 1080p support then the HD-A3 is $149 MSRP and would do quite well with a native 720p display. For an SD DVD upconverting performance comparison our reference OPPO DV-981HD is $249!
If you were looking for a long term HD disc player and couldn't decide which one that contest is over. Skip HD DVD and buy a Blu-ray player.
Four recent articles and feedback on the format war:
Final Conclusion
The Toshiba HD DVD players are a great spring board into HD disc for multiscan 480p/1080i CRT legacy displays. While there are other displays with more resolving power, those old CRT products beat them hands down in other areas and Toshiba has a great player to add new HD life to your experience.
For those with new displays supporting HDMI, any of the players provide quality audio and video performance and for those with 1080p24 capable displays the HD-A30 or HD-A35 provide a reference video performance envelope. The HD-A35 adds the HD audio native bit stream finale for the best HD DVD can be putting you directly in touch with the studio!

Austin Butler Discusses His Relationship With Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens wears a fur coat and a pair of sky high heels as she leaves the Bon Marche department store after doing some shopping on Saturday (February 11) in Paris, France.
The 23-year-old actress also grabbed lunch with her group at the Relais Saint Germain hotel. Vanessa landed in Paris earlier that same day.
Vanessa's boyfriend Austin Butler recently spoke about their relationship.
"I'm a very private person… and I'm still very shy – it's such a personal thing," Austin told Access Hollywood. "I'm trying to find the balance. It's just staying happy and staying present and not worrying about what other people think."
"You can go the route of not living your life at all – and a lot of actors do that, where they just won't even go out of the house at all – but it makes life so unenjoyable," Austin added.

text: I've been using my AK2i for about a year without any problems, but the last week when I was playing my rom, it got froze, I turned the DSi off and turned back on. My AK2i didn't load at all, it just show in the top screen a white screen, and in the bottom screen a black screen, and it didn't pass of there. I've formatted my Sandisk micro SD several times, put the lastest Akaio and nothing, it stills the same; no menu, no black screen with "Loading" , no error message, no nothing. I had tried the paper trick and it don't helped either. Also I tried using a older version of Akaio and the Official "firmware", but nothing. The Acekard is detected by the DSi so I don't think that it is a contact problem. It is updated for the 1.4.1U. It is not clone, I think. I've already cheked it. I don't know why it stopped working suddenly. What could be the problem? Is the micro SD the problem or the AK2i? I really need your help. Sorry for my english if there is an ortographic error or something.

First of all, when choosing accent chairs for your home be sure to factor in which style chair is appropriate for your room decor. Accent chairs are available in all shapes, sizes and varieties so you have a wide selection to choose from to fit your personal needs. It is important to really survey your room and decide which type chair would best fit in the type ambiance your trying to create. If you are looking for a stylish chair that adds loads of comfort you may want to go with an oversized lazy boy type chair. If classic style is more of what you are looking for you may choose a wooden straight back chair with padded seating and loads of detail in the wood carving. If you are thinking more along the lines of fancy elegance you may decide to go with a chaise lounge done in a beautiful fabric.
Everybody loves to redecorate rooms every now and then. Is not it amazing how sometimes just a few added touches can transform a room and give it a totally different look? Its fun to add different touches to a room to bring that added touch of style and pizazz but who has the money these days to totally redecorate a room? There are all kinds of things to buy such as flooring, furniture, window fixtures, and the list goes on and on.
Want to change the look of your room without spending a ton of money? Why not choose an accent chair to change the decor of your room? Accent chairs can add great style to your home when the right ones are chosen. Here are some great tips to remember when choosing accent chairs for your home.

A substance that will not conduct direct-current electricity: an insulator.
When cathodic protection systems are designed, it often becomes important to electrically isolate structures from each other. If sacrificial anodes are being used to protect a steel tank, for example, it is usually desirable that electric current not flow from the tank to steel pipe connected to the tank.
Isolation of these two structures is accomplished through use of a dielectric bushing, a fitting made of a substance such as nylon that does not conduct electricity.

Last year I went to Kenya for a 6 Days Wildlife Safari Adventure Holiday with a Kenyan Tour Operator by Names of Jocky Tours this Year I contacted Jocky Tours to offer me a Rwanda Gorilla Trek adventure and they recommended me to Rwanda Gorilla Trek and the Kenya trip was very good and not too much expensive like the 2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Trek.
I booked my 2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Trek for my short Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park with Rwanda Gorilla Trek and I can honestly say they are FANTASTIC!!!!!! And it was worthy my Money that I paid as they explained to me that on that that money there was a fee for the Gorilla permit costing USD 750 and Overnight Lodge and Ground Transportation from Kigali to Volcanoes and Back to Kigali with Lunch inclusive. I worked with the reservation and I was handled by Maggie and this was wonderful Safari to Rwanda to trek the rare Mountain Gorillas in the World due to the fact that they are found in Uganda, Rwanda, Congo and my 2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Trek was short but worth the money I had paid to the company and Maggie was great. I went by myself at the end of May.
Upon my arrival on Kigali airport I was welcomed by Billy who was going to be my guide and Maggie took me through how the trip will be and this was wonderful is what I can say. He drove me to the hotel they had booked for me and early morning we started the journey to Volcanoes National Park with simple Visits to the cultural sites and Remains of the genocide Memorials in Rwanda and this was not bad too and we arrived in Ruhengeri in evening hours for Dinner and Overnight at Kinigi Guest House. Early in the Morning Billy picked me up after my Morning breakfast and we headed to the park headquarters for overview guiding about the dos and don'ts s for Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Billy did all the best to see that I get the Gorilla Family to trek and this was wonderful for me.
At around 8:40 am we entered the jungle forest and started to look for the Mountain Gorillas in the Forest of Volcanoes and when we arrived at them I took the best pictures and this was wonderful which proved to me that Rwandan Gorilla Trek should be more expensive compared to Wild life Adventures to Kenya, Tanzania and I would like to Advise you that Never Compare the Price of African Wildlife Safari quotes to Gorilla Trek Quotes in Rwanda as it comes with great experience that you can never find somewhere else if not Uganda, Congo and Rwanda. 2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Trek is fantastic and very responsive. My driver/guide named Billy was with me most of my 2 Days in Rwanda and he has a great personality and had a lot of information to share about Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes. What I can only say is that I have good things on my 2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Trek trip. I highly recommend booking through Rwanda Gorilla Trek site which is managered by the Company known as active African Vacations.

Some parts of America are famous for their wide-open spaces, while others take pride in their mountains or coastal views. But no matter what a state's best features are, chances are they're even better when explored on a bike.
So we rounded up some of the best places to bike across the country, from gravel rail-trails to scenic byways to technical mountain singletrack. All routes are point-to-point, and distances listed are one way, unless otherwise noted. Before you head out, check trail websites for hours, pricing information (some charge fees), and safety information. Happy pedaling!
Oak Mountain State Park, Pelham
The park's 22-mile Double Oak Trail—also known as the Red Trail—is a mix of skinny singletrack and wider doubletrack sections, and its terrain is varied enough to delight any mountain biker, beginner to expert. No wonder the International Mountain Bike Association inducted Oak Mountain into its Epic Rides Hall of Fame. Ride the entire loop, and you'll climb about 1,600 feet.
Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, Anchorage
This 11-mile stretch of paved, car-free road meanders easily along the Cook Inlet coast and through scented forests, and offers sweeping views of North America's highest peak, Mount Denali. Keep an eye out for moose, bald eagles, and beluga whales.
Fantasy Island Mountain Bike Trail, Tucson
The League of American Bicyclists designated Tucson a gold-medal bike-friendly community, so you'll be right at home no matter what type of ride you pedal. For a true treat, mountain bikers love the 20-plus miles of Fantasy Island trails right within the city limits. Small hills and varied terrain throughout make them great for all skill levels; those looking for a truly unique experience can even try riding at night.

If you're looking for a collection of eclectic items from vintage clothing to handmade soaps or are a collector of objects that are hard to find, then the Camberwell Market is for you.
Located in the car park at the rear of Burke Road and Riversdale Roads in Camberwell this outdoor market is one of the best trash and treasure style markets you'll find. Started by Balwyn Rotary in 1976 this market still rocks along every Sunday and never fails to disappoint with a variety of weird and wonderful stalls.
Stallholders can only sell hand-made, hand crafted or second-hand goods which attracts a lot of people who are decluttering their homes, selling up stuff to raise $ to travel overseas or downsizing – plus everything in between. As well, there are the regulars who have been coming here for years and years, getting up at sunrise to set up their stall with their wares. These handmade soaps (above) are from Soapretty
Some visits I've scored the most odd and unusual items for a song and on other days I can see nothing that takes my fancy. That's why it's a must to visit on a regular basis. Sure there are the regulars who bring pretty much the same stuff, but there are plenty of new stallholders each week to make it interesting.
The prices can be anything from 50c to $100's of dollars but you're always welcome to negotiate with a stall owner, particularly when it gets close to closing time.
Once you've wandered through the entire market, which can take anywhere from a half hour to 90 minutes, try out some of the local eateries in the area.
Tip: if you hand around until near closing time, you'll pick up a bargain as people realise that some of their stuff isn't selling and it so they drop the prices. Today one rack of clothes marked at $5 each was suddenly $1 each. The flower stalls are the same, dropping prices around 11.30 so they don't have to take them home.
A market isn't a market with a busker or two with high quality performances by interesting characters which Rotary support and encourage. I remember Neil Whitford the well-known saxophonist with his small poodle playing every week no matter what the weather. Or ex politician Jim Cairns who made regular appearances at the market selling his books.
Retro and vintage items are bountiful like this table (below) which I missed out on buying by minutes.
Bakelite kitchen containers, coloured glassware, funky clothes – it's all here. There are great stories of people buying trinkets for a small amount of money and later revealed to be worth $100's or $1,000's. A lovely woman bought a bucket of cutlery for $20 and she planned to make wind chimes out of them.
There are many odd and unusual items too. Anyone for some horns? Not sure what animal they are from or what you'd do with them but that's the beauty of a market – something for everyone.
Some basketballs, soccer balls, netballs? Or how about those little toys that are given away at fast food chains? Well there is someone at the market who has these in plastic clam shell sand pits for your little ones to browse through at their leisure.
Clothes – there are so many clothes to choose from. High end designer to regular everyday t-shirts. My daughter picked up some nice tops today for $2 each and a long-sleeved designer shirt for $5.
Shoes – an assortment of funky shoes abound. Picked up a pair of RM Williams boots in excellent condition for $20 knowing they were worth $300 retail.
Jewellery – some of the best bargains are from the non regulars who are cleaning out their wardrobes. You'll find some interesting and unique pieces. Just check that clasps work.
STALLHOLDERS: If you'd like to have a stall at the market, you can register your interest and book a stall by clicking here. All the information about start times, size of the stall and conditions as a stall owner are available at this site. Opens at 5.30am for stallholders.
OPENING HOURS: 7.30am to 12.30pm. Operates every Sunday except the Sunday before Christmas Day
LOCATION: Station Street car park (west side) east of Burke Road.
PARKING: Can be a bit of an issue but most people seem to park under the Target car park these days which is currently free. I parked in Burke Road and walked through one of the laneways into the market. But there is a $2.40 fee for one hour.
TRANSPORT: There are trams that run down Burke Road and Riversdale on a regular timetable and you can find times here. Camberwell Railway Station is a five minute walk from the market and you can find times here. There are buses that also frequently travel through Camberwell and you can find times here.
DISABLED ACCESS: Good disabled access on concrete (car park). Lots of space between stalls.
ATM: There are a number of them in Burke Road Camberwell, not far away at all.
ENTRANCE FEE: A gold coin donation is asked as you enter – funds go back into the community.
DOGS: Permitted on a leash and under the owners control.
FOOD: Hot donuts, falafels, sausages, cold drinks. Cafes and restaurants are sprinkled around the rim of the market.
TOILET FACILITIES: Available at many cafes and restaurants or across Burke Road near Coles.

'KUWTK': Kim Kardashian Insults Khloe's Style In The Most Obnoxious Way — Watch
Kim does not approve of Khloe's wardrobe! Kim attempts a closet makeover for her sister on the season 10 'KUWTK' premiere, which sets off an angry Khloe who then puts Kim in a headlock — yikes! Watch the clip here.
Season 10 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians is right around the corner, and Khloe Kardashian, 30, and Kim Kardashian, 34, are going head to head! In a new clip for the upcoming season, things get heated when Kim wants to do a little spring cleaning in Khloe's closet, but instead insults her style to no end with back-handed compliments.
'KUWTK': Kim Kardashian Disses Khloe Kardashian's Style
Kim refuses to take no for an answer! Completely cutting Khloe off on something she was about to say, Kim insists on seeing Khloe's closet after an email she sent.
"Stop judging me!" Khloe yells before chasing her sister up the stairs. "You're not cleaning out my closet!" Khloe catches up to Kim and yanks her away from the closet. Kim tells her it's ridiculous and then fakes a cough so Khloe lets go of her, running straight for the closet.
Kim finally gets to the closet and puts a laughing Kim into a chokehold. It's clear the sisters are joking but we can't help but feel for Khloe as Kim picks apart her wardrobe!
"This has got to go! You have some great memories, though," North West's mom says as she handles a leopard dress and looks at her huge shoe collection.
"Your backhanded compliments are great," Khloe responds.
But the ultimate insult is when Khloe suggests they go to her room and Kim says, "This room gives me hives anyway." Burn!
Kim Kardashian's Gynecologist Exam On Camera For 'KUWTK'
There are so many juicy moments to look forward to on KUWTK season 10! Kim proved that nothing is off limits for her while on the show. In fact, Kim takes a trip to her gynecologist this season, and yes, it's all caught on film!
Kim's storyline this season will revolve around her trying to have another baby, as she even reveals that she's been "having sex 500 times a day!" Whoa… clearly, nothing is TMI for Kim!
Keeping Up with the Kardashians premieres Sunday, March 15 on E!
HollywoodLifers, will you tune in to KUWTK? Let us know!

Frankfort Police Chief John Burica will be among those donning chef's aprons this month to raise money for the Will County Children's Advocacy Center.
Gumbo, ribs, Italian sausage and smoked brisket are among dozens of offerings that will be served up at the 6th annual Men Who Cook fundraiser.
"We have 50 men out there who are cooking their favorite dishes – desserts, main courses appetizers," Ken Grey, a deputy Will County state's attorney, told Frankfort trustees. "We have some award-winning chefs that will be cooking. I'm very happy to say that Chief Burica and a couple of his guys are going to be there cooking this year."

"When you look into a man's eyes—look him dead in the eye—you can see straight into his soul," Conor McGregor maintained on the UFC 189 conference call last week. McGregor said that when he looked into Jose Aldo's eyes, the Brazilian's soul informed him: "This mother—er doesn't want to be here."
Whatever those brown eyes told McGregor, the Irishman's tongue makes it clear that he still has Jose Aldo on the brain. For months, King Conor has taunted, teased, and tortured the stoic Brazilian. Then, less than two weeks before their heavily hyped bout, the challenger received official word that he fights not the champion but a guy the champion beat twice.
"I don't blame the man," the 145-pounder informs. "I was going to f—ing butcher him—rip him limb from limb. I wouldn't want to face that either."
McGregor sees Mendes as "a substitute." Mendes sees McGregor as an opportunity. He fights to gain what Aldo twice denied him. McGregor fights to lose a shot against the champion but without much to win.
Even McGregor's digs at Chad Mendes worked more as digs toward Jose Aldo. "It would have been nice if Jose didn't p—y out," McGregor declared. "We'll take the B-level guy."
Relative newcomer McGregor, critics maintained, talked his way into a bout with the longest reigning champion in the UFC currently. In all his bluster telling Aldo he wanted to "turn his favela into a Reebok sweatshop" and ordering the champion to spit-shine "my belt," McGregor aimed to psych out the respectful, and respected, Brazilian. In psyching out Jose Aldo for the past six months, Conor McGregor may have ultimately psyched himself out.
"There is a psychological war taking place," King Conor informed his subjects in Boston. "But I already won."
In playing mind games with Jose Aldo, Conor McGregor may have played himself.

**Matthew Ragan's 2017 Yale Workshop with Video - Join Matthew Ragan from Obscura Digital for a whirlwind tour of what goes into working as a creative coder. Over the course of two full days students will learn the fundamental principles and organizational flow of working in Derivative's TouchDesigner – for the uninitiated, TouchDesigner is a node based programming environment used in installations, live events, and museums internationally. This workshop will largely be focused on the intersection of art / design and the development of new tools for live performance. While there are a growing number of tools for media playback in live events, there are precious few for creating dynamic and generative artwork. In this workshop we will look at both how to playback traditionally made content, as well as how to build generative real-time rendered environments. More than just a flash and trash demo, this workshop aims to help familiarize students with a development environment as well as examine the challenges and opportunities when designing real-time systems.

TouchIn NYC meetup with Elburz Sorkhabi at LiveX ***new Learn how to create the basis of a cue/preset/state machine in TouchDesigner. Presets and cues are useful among a number of disciplines, performance types, and installation. This tutorial aims to create a simple component that will allow the management of all cues and presets from a single table using many built-in TouchDesigner components and some very basic Python scripting.
The component will allow a variably-timed tweening and crossfading between numeric data via CHOPs, while also being able to pass other values like text and string data. On top of that, learn some tricks that help abstract complex scripted scenes from incoming controls, allowing easy hand-off to external controllers like lighting desks.

Caneel Bay 08/16/2003
Reviewers Rating:
This great resort though somewhat rustic in nature, by far makes up for it with their seven great beaches. The hotel is spread out over many acres but their shuttle (extended golf cart) will get you to where you need to go.
The staff is great ! The beauty of this resort is the fact that not only are the beaches out side your back door but the snorkeling is great! Hawks Nest beach was where we stayed and it was terrific. We then discovered Turtle Bay (or was it Turlte Beach) at the top of the hill, and this was the most incrdible snorkeling we have ever done. The only improvement I would make is to tear down and build new modern lodging facilities. Other than that, if your love like ours is "knock you over beaches" you must check out Caneel Bay!

In this case then, using extensibility and namespacing, things like CompSci specific markup, as well as mathematical/chemical/etc specialised languages should be used, rather than keeping those very specific (in the case of samp,kbd,var) and those completely inappropriate (imho) elements (sub/sup) completely out of the generic language.
