School budget up but levy will fall
Valuation increase covers the difference.
The dice in the crap shoot of the school budgeting process haven't quit bouncing yet but it looks as though Brady area property owners will see a slightly lower school levy on the next tax bills.
Brady school board members worked through the numbers crunch last week and will vote on the 2009-10 budget following a public hearing during the regular monthly meeting on Monday.
The general fund levy, construction levy and capital fund levy are all set to drop despite a 10.75% increase in the district's operating budget. The lower levy is possible because of a 9.38% increase in district valuation.
Superintendent Bill Porter said nearly half of the $232,000 hike in the operating budget can be attributed to salary related items.
Wages, insurance, retirement and social security account for about 69% of the district's overall budget, Porter said.
With the natural pay increases from the step system for certified employees, salaries increased approximately 4% this year or $104,000.
Thankfully, Porter said, state aid will go up roughly $100,000 to cover that change and a jump in property values will take care of the rest.
"It's going to be tight. That's the least you can say," Porter said.
Utility costs will likely continue to be volatile, he said, making estimating that budget line a gamble.
"It's such an unknown," he said. "All you can do is go through the history, look at the trends and make your best guess."
Property owners will continue to pay bond levies for the renovation and addition to the school building approved by voters in 2005.
The 20-year construction bond and 10-year qualified capital purpose undertaking (QCPU) fund are only two years old.
Porter said he hopes to pay off the QCPU fund in another couple of years to help alleviate some of that financial strain on taxpayers.
"As far as the overall budget goes we've kept things pretty tight and we're going to be all right," Porter said. "It's the cash flow situation that could get pretty scary."
Because cash reserves were used to pay large outstanding bills in the past, carry-over is minimal.
"We'll just hope like heck it all evens out in the end," Porter said.

[You have found the original Operation YouTube Smackdown Post & Comments. Please come visit our new Operations Center. Thank you.]
Jihad has come to the Internet. Dark Age savages are using the power of the Internet to spread their message of hatred and destruction. You might think that our intelligence community would do something about it. Oddly, where our government has failed, an enterprising American blogger has succeeded in hacking a Taliban website. What's more, the Taliban are aware of his activities and there's an ongoing fight in cyberspace between a private U.S. citizen and a terrorist organization. See this report at Pajamas Media : The Taliban vs.the Jawa Report .

"No joke, the Taliban have posted a message on a well-known Islamic forum addressing me, Rusty Shackleford, indirectly. In it, they gloat that their website is back online." And then the Taliban challenge the Jawa Report to shut them down again.
Well done, Rusty! We're betting on another takedown soon assuming you haven't already pulled it off. We understand that the federal government is aware of your efforts and has endorsed your one-man crusade.
A private citizen sitting in front of his PC over morning coffee hacks into the enemy's communication system and takes it out from fifteen-thousand miles away. Awesome! We live in an age where an ordinary citizen with a little initiative can knock out an enemy installation with a click of his mouse. Now here's where it gets interesting because we're declaring our own campaign against terrorism. And you, dear reader, are invited to take a shot at the jihadists from the comfort of your own kitchen.
Jihadist videos have found a home at YouTube. Our enemies are using this site to spread propaganda and recruit new terrorists. We're going to shut them down. To play along you need to do the following:
1. Log into YouTube and run a search. Any of the following key words will land you in the right spot: IED, Jihad, Death to Israel, Islamic Republic of Iraq, etc. You won't have any trouble finding them; they are legion.
2. Open the jihadist video, then click the icon that says "Flag as inappropriate." Use the drop down menu and click on "hate speech."
3. This last step is going to take a great deal of self-control. You're going to see a lot of comments cheering on the terrorists as they blow up American and allied soldiers. Don't answer these comments directly. We want your comment directed at YouTube management. Something like: "This video aids and abets our enemies in time of war and should be deleted" will be sufficient.
Individually your participation might seem insignificant. But thousands of us united will crush this venue as an outlet for enemy propaganda. Our mission is to shut down the Jihadis on YouTube. Strike a blow for freedom. Copy this link and send a copy to everyone you know. Then go to YouTube and start your own personal crusade against terrorism. Be creative, have fun, and don't feel the need to pull any punches.
To Strike your own personal blow against the terrorists, please copy one, or all, of the titles from the Daily Dozen list on the right sidebar. Then go to YOU TUBE and let them know what they can do with it!!!
Thanks everyone

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — European Central Bank President Mario Draghi on Friday defended his Hungarian counterpart against the government's efforts to limit his independence and authority over monetary policy.
Draghi emphasized the importance that central banks remain independent of government influence.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his government have over the past two years frequently been critical of National Bank of Hungary President Andras Simor's policy decisions. Orban's government also has tried to diminish Simor's influence over monetary policy, but under international pressure - including from the ECB - has relented.
"It's an opportunity to pay (Simor) a tribute of gratitude for his work," Draghi said while speaking at a conference hosted by the NBH. "I want to acknowledge his commitment ... to Europe and to his country."
Simor and his two deputies have in recent months consistently been outvoted by the four, government-backed members of the rate-setting Monetary Council. That resulted in the NBH lowering its key interest rate during each of the last four months - from 7 percent in August to 6 percent now - to align itself with government efforts to boost economic growth.
In his speech, Draghi appeared to support Simor in his votes against the rate cuts, noting that such aggressive interest rates reductions could fuel inflation.
Hungary is struggling to fuel economic growth - gross domestic product contracted an annual 1.5 percent in the third quarter of 2012 - while also coping with the highest inflation rate in the European Union, an annual 6 percent in October.
While stressing that Hungary had made "considerable achievements" in improving the economy, Simor also criticized some of the government's measures, including exceptionally high taxes on banks and other sectors as well as the nationalization of private pension funds.
"The frequent changes in the regulatory environment and the windfall taxes have rendered all commercial calculations concerning the future uncertain, leading to a predictability chaos," said Simor, whose six-year term ends in March. "The primary problem is not the fiscal deficit by rather a lack of confidence."
The ECB has expressed repeated concerns about Hungary's changes to its central banking law. The International Monetary Fund and the European Union threatened to withhold financial rescue funds if it did not back off, leading Hungary to comply.
In its last legal opinion from June 28, the ECB said the Hungarian government's response "addresses the most important remaining concerns" about central bank independence. But the bank added that it "will monitor closely the observance in practice of central bank independence" in Hungary.
As an EU member, Hungary is on paper committed to adopt the euro, the currency zone for which the ECB sets monetary policy. There is no fixed timetable, however, for the country to meet the tough requirements for limiting debt, deficits and inflation needed to join the euro bloc.

There was a time during the early days of Long Wharf Theatre when Robert Brustein, Yale Repertory Theatre's artistic director, was eyeing a take-over of the young theater company on the outskirts of New Haven run by some former School of Drama students.
"Brustein wanted to swallow it," says Long Wharf's co-founder Jon Jory.
"He started to chew, actually," says Arvin Brown, who succeeded Jory as artistic director.
"But Long Wharf's board of directors extracted it before it was digested," says Jory, laughing. "Those who loved this theater resisted it."
Behind-the-curtain stories of the Tony Award-winning theater were shared...

Pass The Bill – Democrats
It's time for President Obama and the democrats in congress to just pass the bill. They need to do it quickly so there is time for it to start working before the November elections. The Republican plan all along was to stop the democrats from accomplishing anything and if they succeed in doing that, they can claim the Democrats can't govern. Since the internal polls show that people like the reform when it's explained to them, or the specifics are given to them, it isn't exactly a risky vote. I think part of the disgust with the congress is not doing anything and part of it is the partisanship.
Pass the bill, there is no other option. The Republican talking point that we should start over is so disingenuous. It's like Lucy pulling the football away when Charlie Brown goes to kick it. What a bunch of blatant liars, not one of them really wants to pass anything and by making it sound like they really want to be a part of the process, bullshit! Where were they for the last year, if they were so concerned they would have taken up one of the many opportunities that the President and Democrats gave them. Don't believe them lying bastards, they have a history.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Tuesday he was confident that Congress would vote in favor of U.S. military action in Syria and said the United States had a broader plan to help rebels defeat President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
During a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House, Obama called for a prompt vote on Capitol Hill and reiterated that the U.S. plan would be limited in scope and not repeat the long U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"What we are envisioning is something limited. It is something proportional. It will degrade Assad's capabilities," Obama said.
"At the same time we have a broader strategy that will allow us to upgrade the capabilities of the opposition," he said.
Obama said he was willing to address concerns among lawmakers about the authorization for force that the White House sent to Congress.
"I look forward to listening to the various concerns of the members who are here today. I am confident that those concerns can be addressed," he said.
"I would not be going to Congress if I wasn't serious about consultations and believing that by shaping the authorization to make sure we accomplish the mission, we will be more effective."
Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner, Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi, and Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell were present at the meeting along with the chairs of congressional committees that deal with national security and the armed services.
Asked whether he was confident Congress would vote in favor of a strike, Obama said: "I am."
Obama reiterated his "high confidence" that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people. The president said that posed a serious national security threat to the United States and to the region.
Repeating the argument that administration officials have made central in their sales pitch to Congress, Obama said not holding Assad accountable would send the message to U.S. adversaries that international norms around issues like nuclear proliferation had little meaning.
"We are going to be asking for hearings and a prompt vote," he said. "I'm very appreciative that everybody here has already begun to schedule hearings and intends to take a vote as soon as all of Congress comes back early next week."

Amazon announced a new subscription based lending program available for the Kindle and Kindle Apps. Kindle Unlimited looks pretty promising; for $9.99 per month, you can read as many books as you want. This differs from the one free borrow per month available to Prime members. Amazon's imprints (Montlake Romance, 47North, etc) are included, as well as titles from Open Road Media, Kensington, Scholastic, and other smaller pubs. Bella Andre's books are included, so if you're curious to read her stuff, you can gobble them all up for $9.99 per month. This only available in the US currently. There's also a large audio book library so you can take your stories on the go.
I plan on trying out Kindle Unlimited soon (as soon as I have a couple free weekends in a row!). The first 30 days are free, and you can cancel at any time.
What do you think Amazon's Kindle Unlimited? Will you try it out? If some of my favorite publishers, like Entangled and Harlequin were included, I would be signing up in a nanosecond instead of waiting. I'm curious to see who else they get on board.
The full press release follows:
Amazon.com has added a news release to its Media Room website.
Title: Introducing Kindle Unlimited: Unlimited Reading and Listening on Any Device–Just $9.99 a Month

India Federal Police Raids Bharti, Vodafone Offices
India's federal police on Saturday conducted searches at Vodafone's Indian unit and Bharti Airtel's offices seeking details on spectrum allocation by the government to operators between 2001-02.
The searches were in regard to possible irregularities in allotting spectrum during the previous government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), now in opposition, Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) spokeswoman, Dharini Mishra told Reuters.
All our documents are in complete compliance with the governing laws and regulations. Vodafone India is completely co-operating with the officials and will provide them all the required details as part of their checks, Vodafone said in a statement.
The CBI conducted raids at Vodafone's Mumbai and New Delhi offices and Bharti Airtel's office in Gurgaon, near New Delhi.
We would like to categorically state that all the spectrum allotted to us from time to time has been strictly as per the stated government policy, Bharti Airtel's spokesman said in a statement.
We are providing all details and correspondence to the authorities and shall provide complete support as needed in the matter, Bharti Airtel's spokesperson said.
India's Congress party-led government has been rocked by a series of corruption scandals that sparked massive street protests by anti-graft activists, sent prominent politicians to trial and undermined investor confidence in the Asian giant.
The biggest case involves the trial of business executives and the former telecoms minister, who is accused of taking bribes to favor some firms which wanted to buy mobile phone licences. A state auditor has said the under-selling of licences for kickbacks may have cost India $39 billion in revenue.
Saturday's searches could give the Congress party ammunition to fight back against the main opposition BJP's attacks against the government. Shouting matches and walkouts shut down parliament on a near daily basis for much of the year.
The BJP repeated past accusations that the CBI was under the tacit control of the Congress party. A BJP spokesman said the searches were carried out to deflect scrutiny away from the government's own corruption scandals.
Now they are raking up this issue just to divert the attention, Prakash Javadekar, a BJP spokesperson told a press conference.
Controversial anti-corruption legislation will likely top the agenda when parliament reconvenes on Tuesday.

I live in a very religious town, so I hear this saying about 2 or 3 times every week, whether it be to me or someone near me. I usually don't respond when it is said to me, but what do you think a good response would be?
Views: 8352
How about something like," I hate him... he will let me into heaven cause I believe, but not my gay son, or nonbeliever mother, or my brother that is discualified by Mathew 6:1-6 who brags about his righteousness, or my wealthy Republican friend that violates Mathew 7:1-2 and and judges the poor...
You get the idea.
Unquestionably the person who says this to you is guilty of discourtesy and may not even care that he is. Still, I think it's just as discourteous to respond rudely. Some probably mean well. I would save the snappy rejoinders for when they are needed.These days when so many are determined to exercise their second amendment rights, it's best to deal with these intrusions obliquely. A smile and a wink with an indulgent look might be the right response. It has the virtue of leaving the individual wondering what you meant.
They cannot learn without being told!
No question at all about that, but the first condition for learning is receptivity. People who say things like "Jesus loves you" believe they are teaching you and are in no mood to learn anything themselves.
I just don't think it is worth the effort to affront them and I seriously doubt that doing so will teach them anything. The "I'm only trying to teach you" mode of dealing with other people is usually fruitless in my experience.
I agree with you absolutely... but why should I take the position of being uncomfortable and not let them know that they are affronting me with their beliefs. Why should I suffer. What is so special about them that I have to try not to offend their sensibilities.
>>Why should I suffer. What is so special about them that I have to try not to offend their sensibilities.
Nothing is special about them at all, nor should you suffer in the least. The best strategy for avoiding suffering is to just move away and move on. There isn't time in life to take on all things that need changing. Concentrate on the important ones and let the small things pass without comment is the easiest way in my view. Why waste time on those not yet ready to understand?
However, if it is genunely your goal to educate those who have offended you, then you definitely must avoid offending them. Once insulted the mind closes to new thoughts, erects a barrier against learning, and concentrates on proving itself right. You first have to make the other feel comfortable with being receptive to a new idea.
This is, a very modern word we live in, and yet some people don't even conceive that there could be atheists in it. There's nothing wrong with reminding them about that.
And honestly, civility is your choice. But civility is not necessarily an intellectual high road. Frankly its a bit too "blessed are the peacemakers" for my taste.
Yes, civility does seem to going out of fashion, but my point is simply one of psychology: confrontation creates a defensive attitude that inhibits understanding.
A Buddhist parable applies. Two monks encountered an old woman unable to ford a river. One picked her up and carried her across. The other berated him for hours: "You are not supposed to even touch a woman and you carried her across the river." At last the first monk replied: "I left that woman on the bank of the river. You are still carrying her."
The atheist who feels a need to affront believers at every turn is still carrying religion and has not yet left it behind.
But its the other way around isn't it, the "affronter" is the believer, the atheist is the one minding their own business. I was in this position, and I did not turn the other cheek. I reminded her, in my one sentence reply, that not everyone shares her belief system.
As for the whole thing about "educating" Christians, that's not what this thread is about is it? It's about standing up for one's self.
I totally get what you trying to say, but frankly, in a world where the Vice President has to remind people that just because your religion says a certain thing about the soul of a fetus, you cannot force people outside of your faith go along with that, non-believers need to push back once in awhile.
Maybe standing up and being a jerk is not always the right thing to do, but there are times to do it, and the first instinct in any situation should not be to back down and be rolled over.
But its the other way around isn't it, the "affronter" is the believer, the atheist is the one minding their own business.
In some instances it may indeed be a deliberate affront; in others it may be thoughtlessness. You wish to have the person recognize their remark might offend. Why not ask, "Does anyone ever take offense when you say that?"
I see a great difference between simply avoiding confrontation with someone not likely to understand you and "backing down and being rolled over." I do not feel obliged to have an argument with or reply to every idiot who tells me "Jesus loves you."
How about, "I see you have been hallucinating again."

Court of Common Pleas
The Courts of Common Pleas are the trial courts of Pennsylvania. Major civil and criminal cases are heard in these courts. Judges also decide cases involving adoption, divorce, child custody, abuse, juvenile delinquency, estates, guardianships, charitable organizations and many other matters. The Common Pleas courts are organized into 60 judicial districts. Chester County, Pennsylvania Genealogy has its own judicial district. Judges of the Common Pleas courts are elected to 10-year terms. A president judge and a court administrator serve in each judicial district.[6]
Clerk of the Court
The Clerk of Courts prepares and maintains the records for the Criminal Division of the Court of Common Pleas. The Clerk signs and affixes the Seal of the Courts to all writs and processes, administers oaths and affirmations, and assumes custody of the seal and records of the Courts. The Clerk certifies and distributes orders of the Court. The Clerk also certifies and prepares bills of costs for the defendants and utilizes the computerized financial management system to disburse fines, costs and restitution.[7] For the Chester County, Pennsylvania Genealogy Clerk of Courts address see the Courthouse section on this page.

Vital Records
Vital records are handled by the County Orphans' Court. Between the years 1852-1855 Pennsylvania made a failed attempt to record birth, marriage and death events at the county level. While the records for that time period are available, there were few events recorded. County marriage records were kept in earnest in 1885. Births and deaths, at the county level, were begun in 1893 and kept through 1905. Abstracts and copies of vital records are available for some counties, but most are incomplete. For the most complete set of records, always contact the County Orphans' Court.
Early births 1893–1905 are located at the County Orphans' Court. See the heading Court Records on this page for contact information.

Please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
It begins as most art does: in a sketchbook.
I work through multiple drawings and renditions of an idea until I have dialed it in to its loveliest state.
Using a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) program, I can translate these drafts from my sketchbook into three-dimensional geometries on the XYZ planes of virtual space.
A lengthy, often arduous process of 3D modeling and trial & error ensues. It takes several weeks for each piece to be printed, but it often takes me months of experimentation, prototyping and minute mathematical adjustments to see one of my models through to its final state.
A strong, flexible nylon plastic that was printed through the SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) process.
In this technique, the object is built up slowly, thin layer by layer, with a powdered material that gets fused together by a laser.
Because of the ascending layers, it is sometimes possible to see a slight "woodgrain" texture in certain areas. I consider this to be one of the most subtle and beautiful attributes of the material and process!
This SLS method produces a much smoother and more professional matte finish than that of the FDM printers currently available for home use, which often produce jagged and uneven structures with a less refined, glossy, styrene plastic.
Deceptively lightweight, it's perfect for big earrings!
I print my pieces in an alloy of 60% 420 stainless steel 40% bronze.
In this process, a specialty printer rolls out a layer of fine stainless steel powder and deposits small adhesive drops to the surface. This happens many, many, many times until the object is built up into a fragile, "sand castle" state.
The binding adhesive is then burned out as the piece is infused with bronze, creating your lovely solid metal object.
Just like with sintered nylon, the process sometimes imparts a subtle, pleasing "woodgrain" texture.
This material has a nice weight to it that makes it perfect for bangles, pendants and rings.

Chris Gould reviews Zack Snyder's take on Frank Miller's notorious graphic novel
Based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 recounts the events of the epic Battle of Thermopylae, in which three-hundred Spartan warriors—led by King Leonidas—made a heroic stand against the vast hoards of 'God King' Xerxes' Persian Empire. Facing insurmountable odds and the very real prospect of death, the small band of Spartans stood their ground for three days, sacrificing everything to ensure freedom not only for Sparta, but Greece itself.
I haven't read the graphic novel on which 300 is based, but by all accounts it presents a highly stylised account of events that plays fast and loose with historical accuracy. This super-realism apparently had its detractors (most notably writer Alan Moore), but there's no suggestion that the film is an accurate retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, rather an accurate translation of the graphic novel. As it stands, the film is structured in such a way that the embellishments actually make sense, as events are communicated to the audience by one of the survivors as he tells campfire stories to rally the troops.
Visually the film is quite breathtaking, looking every bit as good as Miller's Sin City did when it arrived in theatres back in 2005. 300 is like watching a living, breathing comic book, with larger-than-life characters accomplishing superhuman feats in the face of incredible adversity. The live-action elements integrate seamlessly with the digital backdrops in a manner superior to any other film I've seen, creating some truly striking imagery that simply would not have been possible utilising conventional methods. It's a great advertisement for the use of CGI in film, and proves that CGI is not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself when employed correctly.
If action is your thing you certainly won't be disappointed, as 300 includes more than its fair share of combat. There's something perversely satisfying about watching a group of stripped-down, oiled-up Spartans committing unspeakable acts of violence against mutant Persians in super slow-mo. Yes, 300 is violent, almost incredibly so for a '15' rated movie. There are decapitations, amputations, impalings and eviscerations galore, often performed concurrently on a single unfortunate soldier. However, as violent as the film is I didn't find it particularly harrowing, perhaps because I'm somewhat desensitised to such displays, but also because the whole thing has the look of a videogame cut-scene (which, as I've already said, isn't a bad thing).
The cast do a particularly good job with the relatively limited material (let's face it, the film's thin on plot and big on action), with Scotsman Gerard Butler ( Dracula 2000, Reign of Fire) putting in a particularly impressive performance as Leonidas. The supporting cast of 'featured' Spartans includes David Wenham ( Lord of the Rings), Vincent Regan, Michael Fassbender and Tom Wisdom, who deliver their lines with suitable machismo. Lena Heady steams up the screen as the strong (and delectable) Queen Gorgo, and plays her part in the political subplot opposite Dominic West's ( Mona Lisa Smile) scheming Theron very well. It's unfortunate that both Rodrigo Santoro (Xerxes) and Andrew Tiernan (Ephialtes) are afforded so little screen time, but both are able to craft memorable characters nonetheless.
300 arrives on DVD at its theatrical aspect ratio of approximately 2.40:1, complete with anamorphic enhancement. Prior to this review I had read a number of negative comments about the image quality of the region one release, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Many of the negative comments related to excessive grain, and while it's true that there is a lot of grain on display, it was also present theatrically. It's hard to criticise the image for remaining faithful to the theatrical experience, but there are one or two moments where it seems that the transfer can't quite keep up and some minor digital noise is visible. This is only apparent during a handful of scenes, specifically those taking place in daylight, where large patches of earth appear to be moving as if covered by thousands of wriggling worms. The image is also a little on the soft side (again possibly because of the post-processing), and while both are relatively minor issues they are issues all the same.
It's odd to start a video appraisal with the negatives, but in this case it seemed the most logical choice because, frankly, there's not a lot else wrong with the transfer. It's hard to critique the image quality of something that's been so heavily post-produced, so I'm especially grateful that I managed to catch the film at the cinema (at least I had something to go on). From what I recall the DVD preserves the look of the film extremely well, from the aforementioned grain, to the bleached colours and boosted contrast. The palette is comprised mainly of sepia tones and cold blues, with the occasional (okay frequent) splash of red and solid if not inky black levels, all of which showcases Larry Fong's wonderful cinematography. While it may not be the best looking DVD transfer I've ever seen, it's a fine effort that more than does justice to the theatrical experience if you can get your head around the amount of visible grain.
As is customary for Warner releases, the main audio track on offer is a Dolby Digital 5.1 affair. As with the movie, things start aggressively before giving way to quieter moments, with a lot of emphasis placed on Tyler Bates' sweeping, epic score. There are plenty of subtle ambient effects; wind whistles through wheat fields and birds twitter as they flitter about, in a sort of calm before the storm. Of course things liven up again once Leonidas and the boys get stuck into the Persians, with numerous screams, slashing swords, gurgles and the like. There's ample directionality in the mix, with every channel utilised to bring the battle scenes to life, while the subwoofer pumps out more low frequency rumbles than the footsteps of Xerxes' huge army. Bates' score keeps pace with the action, incorporating electric guitar to create a hard-edged sound for the scenes of all-out carnage. Dynamic range is good, and dialogue remains clear throughout, although it is typically mixed at a lower level than the other constituents of the track. The exceptions to this are the Spartan war cries and Leonidas' rousing speeches, which are as loud as anything you'll hear.
While not as accomplished as the very best mixes around—and I'm talking about benchmark titles such as the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings trilogies—this is a great effort that makes for an incredibly atmospheric viewing experience that really draws the viewer into the action. The only other audio option on offer is a descriptive track, in which the action is narrated by a very posh sounding Englishman. While not something I personally require, I welcome the inclusion of such tracks for the benefit of the visually impaired.
The only advertised bonus material on disc one is a commentary track from director Zack Snyder, writer Kurt Johnstad and director of photography Larry Fong. Ordinarily I'd listen to a commentary in its entirety, but I found it very difficult to do so in this case. The track really suffers from 'pointing out the obvious' syndrome—specifically relating to the use of CGI—and there are also frequent periods of dead air to contend with. If you like your 'yak-tracks' on the dry side you might get a little more enjoyment out of it than I did, but I wouldn't count on it.
Disc two kicks off with a strange little feature entitled 'Be 1 of the 300', in which director Zack Snyder thanks the online community for their help in getting the film off the ground. This short thank you is followed by a scrolling list of names set to music from the film, and runs for around eighty seconds. I found it most odd, but I guess it's nice that these people got some recognition.
'300 - Fact or Fiction' runs for a little under twenty-five minutes and deals with the mythology behind the movie. For me this was probably the most entertaining featurette on the disc, as it examines the various cinematic interpretations of the Battle of Thermopylae that have surfaced over the years. The piece features historians talking about the ancient civilisations depicted in the movie, with particular regard to just how much truth there is to Miller's work. While they make no secret of the historical inaccuracies, they are eager to point out that this has been a constant throughout history and that the basic facts underpinning the film are sound. Director Zack Snyder and writer Frank Miller are also on hand with their thoughts.
'Who Were the Spartans?: The Warriors of 300' is a short (04:24) featurette that examines the factual origins of the Spartans portrayed in the movie, providing superficial insight into their daily lives and social structure. This is really a thematic continuation from the previous piece, but this time the actors are on hand to voice their opinions and discuss their interpretation of the historic events.
'The Frank Miller Tapes: Unfiltered Conversations with Frank & Friends' runs for just under fifteen minutes and features interview footage with the artist and a number of his friends, colleagues and collaborators. Those interviewed include comic book author Neal Adams, DC Comics President Paul Levitz and DC Group Editor Bob Schreck (who looks somewhat like his namesake), along with director Zack Snyder. Miller discusses his early years in the business, from his first break in the business (courtesy of Adams) through to his more recent work, but the focus remains on the 300 graphic novel (although Miller jokingly asks Snyder how he intends to pull off Watchmen).
'The Making of 300' sounded like it was going to be a thorough examination of the creative process, but actually turned out to be a sub-six-minute featurette. It covers a lot of the same ground as the material that came before it, with footage from the film punctuated by sound-bites from the actors and creative team. This is obviously the sort of featurette that was used to promote the film in between adverts on TV, and as such it's a bit of a letdown.
'Making 300 in Images' is a similarly-themed featurette that uses time-lapse photography to take the viewer behind-the-scenes through the various stages of production. I guess it was moderately entertaining, but everything flew by so quickly I had trouble maintaining interest despite the short (three-minute) running time.
Three deleted scenes introduced by Zack Snyder come next. The first two concern Ephialtes, but really add nothing to the film so I can see why they were excised. The third scene was removed because it pushed the boundaries of believability even for 300, and if I use the words 'midgets riding giants' you'll get the gist of what happens. The fact that the combined running time of these scenes is only a little over three minutes (with the intro) doesn't really help matters.
The final bonus features on disc two are the 'Webisodes', of which there are twelve in total. You can choose to watch them individually, or via a 'play all' function, but with a combined running time of just over thirty-eight minutes it's nice to have the option to watch one or two at a time. The Websisodes concentrate on such things as production design, wardrobe, stunt work, the principal cast, adapting the graphic novel, training the actors, glimpses from the set, scene studies and the fantastic creatures and characters. The webisodes are actually among the most entertaining features on the disc, which is a little disappointing the more I think about it.
In bringing 300 to the screen, Zack Snyder has done a fantastic job of recreating the feel of Miller's original graphic novel. While it won't appeal to everyone's tastes—specifically budding historians or those opposed to brutal, graphic violence—the core of the story remains, and what the film lacks in clever plot twists and dialogue it more than makes up for with sheer style and 'balls to the wall' action. This review marked my fifth viewing of 300, and far from becoming tired of the 'hollow' action I found that I enjoyed the film on a deeper level this time around. At the end of the day that's all I can really ask of a movie.
Technically the audio-visual elements of the disc are extremely impressive, but I was somewhat disappointed with the bonus material on offer. Far too much of it is of the light and fluffy variety, with only the webisodes and 'Fact or Fiction' and 'Frank Miller Tapes' featurettes carrying any weight. Considering this is yet another of Warner's artificially inflated £24.99 RRP DVD sets, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect more from the extras. With that said, you should be able to pick it up at a reasonable price if you shop around, and the quality of the film is such that I would urge you to give it a rental at the very least. Oh, and before I forget, brush your teeth!

Release Date: October 10, 2012
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The University at Buffalo TCIE is hosting a new seminar for business professionals interested in learning the fundamentals of intellectual property (IP).
"Intellectual Property Breakfast Seminar: What Every Business and Technical Leader Needs to Know" will explore issues such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, licensing, patent trolls and defensive publishing.
Offered in conjunction with Executive IP, an education services provider, the program is aimed at wide array of business professionals, including executives and middle managers in research and development, sales, marketing and engineering. It is especially appropriate for innovative companies wanting to use IP forms to create a barrier to entry -- obstacles that make it difficult for competitors to enter the market.
"We believe that Western New York businesses will reap benefits if their employees understand the importance of IP and have insight into how IP is managed for the good of the company," said Timothy Leyh, UB TCIE executive director. "We're partnering with Executive IP to deliver what we believe is an important professional development training topic."
The seminar's facilitator is Executive IP President Thomas Colson, Esq., an IP lawyer and inventor of five U.S. patents.
"Our vocabulary is growing every day with new terms that intersect with intellectual property -- terms that all business and technical leaders must understand to be part of the conversation," Colson said. "We don't need to be experts. We simply need to understand the basics. We need to know just enough to reduce our risks and see opportunities."
Since the rise of the Internet, IP is at "front and center as a main component of business planning that is used to block competitors from entering new markets, extract licensing revenue from competitors and non-competitors, and generally dominate market segments," Colson said.
The seminar is scheduled from 8-10 a.m. on Nov. 15 at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Center, 2402 North Forest Rd., Amherst. For more information or to register, contact Kerry Lynch at 716-645-8840 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please register by Nov. 8.
TCIE is Western New York's bridge to excellence. It provides a dynamic link between UB's expert resources and the region's business community. Its core focus on operational excellence drives continuous improvement, and its engineering solutions ignite innovation and technological advancement. For more information on how TCIE can assist Western New York businesses, go to http://www.tcie.buffalo.edu or call 716-645-8800.

"All's well that ends well," wrote William Shakespeare in an early 17th century play by the same name. Ever since the early 1600s a debate over the literary work has fueled the argument of whether the play was a comedy or the tale of human tragedy.
Perhaps the same could be said about grain sorghum and corn harvest underway in the Lower Rio Grande Valley this week. For most, the growing season has been a tragedy, but a fortunate few are reporting favorable early harvest returns, and a very few are actually boasting that their corn yields are remarkably good considering the dire water straits the region finds itself in this summer.
"A few corn growers are actually shuffling for bragging rights," reports Hidalgo County Extension agent Brad Cowan. "We had some fair rains in May but they were spotty. If your corn or grain field happened to be under them, then you are seeing the benefit in yields."
Also helping the harvest situation were the limited irrigation resources available early on in the season. While irrigation water is in short supply or non-existent now, a round of irrigation in late spring helped some farmers "from going bust."
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
"It's a hit-and-miss year for grain and corn growers. Either you had a little irrigation water and then got a little rain to boost crops, or you didn't. But surprisingly, grain sorghum and corn have produced pretty good yields for those that got the water," he adds.
On the down side, dryland crops have suffered. While a few growers picked up enough May rain to produce a crop, yields have generally suffered.
Cowan says grain sorghum harvest continues and will be finishing up within a week or two, except for late planted grain. Like corn, grain conditions vary greatly depending on the amount of water that was available throughout the growing season.
Cotton is iffy
Hope for Valley cotton continues but most growers were reporting water shortages and are concerned about dryland cotton and cotton on irrigated fields that has used up irrigation allocations—which is most of them.
"A lot of dryland cotton was zeroed out early on, and depending on whether you received any rain or not, cotton has not done as well as grain or corn. But there are still some fields with pretty good looking cotton at this stage. Most is suffering, but there are pockets of good cotton out there," Cowan adds.
The first bale of cotton came in last week, but full cotton harvest won't get underway for another four to six weeks. As with corn and grain, fields that received at least one irrigation have a chance of bringing in a crop, Cowan says, though yields will be reduced. He says additional rain in the weeks ahead would go a long way toward improving cotton prospects.
A check across the Valley indicates most cotton has or is about to reach open boll stage as the long summer days quickly add heat units. Input costs are up generally as a result of the need to treat for whiteflies. Verde plant bugs are also being reported in parts of the eastern Valley.
While grain and corn harvest is underway, the underlying major topic among Valley agricultural producers is the ongoing water shortage. Cowan sees little hope that Mexico will deliver any of the water he says is owed by the 1944 treaty in spite of reports that at least one reservoir in Mexico is currently over-capacity.
Agricultural organizations, municipal leaders and irrigation officials are planning another Valley-wide meeting on the water crisis in early July, but Cowan says no one is optimistic the International Boundary Water Commission (IBWC), the bi-national group charged with managing water in the Rio Grande basin, will force Mexico's hand on water owed to South Texas.
"I doubt we will get any water from Mexico this year, just like last year and probably like next year," he said. "One good release of water could help bail out agriculture in the Valley, but that is an unlikely prospect."
Among those hardest hit by the water shortage are sugarcane growers. As it stands now, the sugar mill near Harlingen is asking area farmers to plant sugarcane after grain and corn is cleared from the field, but most farmers are reluctant to consider a cane crop because of water issues. As it stands now, Cowan says the mill may not have enough cane this year to produce any sugar economically.
Also at high risk from worsening drought conditions are citrus growers. While all fruit has been harvested for the current season, growers are concerned about citrus groves and tree survival if water doesn't come soon from one source or another.
"With the tropical season about to kick off, a tropical wave or storm could drop some desperately needed rain in the Valley and could go a long way in helping to replenish irrigation reserves. But as it stands now, things are just getting drier."

Cajuns Run Win Streak To Eight Games, Defeat Georgia St., 35-21
Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun football team won their eight-consecutive game on Saturday, defeating the Georgia St. Panthers, 35-21, in Sun Belt Conference action at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia.
That 8-game win streak ties the school record for consecutive wins, equaling the win streak that the 1976 team had to begin the year.
Louisiana led at the end of the first quarter, 7-0, and took a 21-14 into the locker room at half, before outscoring Georgia St., 14-7, in the second half, to capture the 14-point win, along with their fourth road win of the season.
The Cajuns out-gained the Panthers, in terms of total yards, 495-481, including a 261-183 advantage on the ground.
Louisiana was led by quarterback Terrance Broadway, who completed 10-of-16 passes, for 234 yards, along with four touchdowns, while Elijah McGuire and Alonzo Harris combined for 34 carries and 186 rushing yards, with McGuire, the freshman, running for 107.
In a losing cause for Georgia St. Keith Rucker caught six passes for 121 yards.
With the win, the Cajuns improve to 8-2 overall, and remain in sole possession of first place atop the Sun Belt Conference Standings, with a 5-0 league mark.
With the loss, the Panthers remain winless, as they fell to 0-10, and 0-5, respectively.
Louisiana is idle next Saturday, before returning to action on Saturday, November 30, when they host the ULM Warhawks in their 2013 home finale.

An Alarm Clock with a Conscience.
What happens with all the electronics after we're done with them? Landfill. Unless you are talking about Joon & Jung Paper Alarm Clock.
Joon & Jung are a conceptual product design studio based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Their level of design initiation is simply human based, liking not only the shape of a design, but a story based on the product from everyday use. They are from South Korea, met in Design Academy Eindhoven, and have been working together as 'Joon & Jung' since 2008.
They created an innovative idea behind a product: Paper Alarm Clock. An alarm clock with an exterior case made from paper pulp; the clock comes with a self address envelope for when you feel like you've finished using it; instead of discarding the clock, you simply put it inside the envelope and mail it back to the designers, so they can re-furbish it and send it to the next owner instead of polluting the planet.
Basically, you can create this yourself with a variety of cases, boxes or more simple approaches to hold all the electronics together.
Like this Pong Clock from Ladyada & Adafruit Industries: The MonoChron: 128x64 LCD, laser cut enclosure, blinking/beeping alarm with snooze and more!
Now telling the time is not only is fun but sensitive too!
