PSA produced by Whit Wales, Wales Films
THE NONLINEAR EDITOR: BREAKING AWAYWhen I was a kid way back in the '70s, my dad took me to a lot of movies I didn't understand, ranging from all-time classics like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and It Happened One Night to a slew of first- and second-run indie films, including a few I've discussed in this column such as The Return of the Secaucus Seven and The Grey Fox. To me there's something a bit magical about watching a movie you don't understand, simply because of the way you experience it, soaking up the feel of the movie more than the story or its intricacies.
Even though it happens less often now, I still like watching movies where the meaning or even aspects of the characters or storylines tend to wash over me. In visual terms, it's a bit like losing yourself in the bokeh, which can be as much a part of a well-composed shot as what's in focus; it's a different but still fulfilling way to experience a film. It's a visceral approach to watching movies that's served me well in recent years as a constant consumer of short wedding films, absorbing the emotional impact of the films before I make any attempt to break them down.
Although I try to steer clear of anything controversial or disturbing, I watch quite a few films with my own 8-year-old son that probably go over his head. But the big difference from my own childhood film-going experience is that he and I aren't sitting in a dark theater where the projector rolls continuously and talking is frowned upon. We watch these films at home, where we can always pause the DVR or DVD when he has a question. So it might take us 3 hours or more to get through a movie such as The Sting, which I adored as a kid without even a hope of unraveling all the twists in the plot. Though I imagine that he too is content to let a lot of things slip by him (many of his questions don't come up until the second or third time we watch a movie), he probably ends up understanding the movies quite a bit more than I did.
By far, the movie my son and I have watched together the most times is Breaking Away, Peter Yates' classic 1979 film about blue-collar 18-year-olds in Bloomington, Ind., clashing with wealthy college students and ultimately settling their differences in Indiana University's storied bicycle race, the Little 500.
I'm not sure what drew my son to it first, besides the fact that it stars a bunch of funny teenagers (and that he quickly reached the point where he could recite most of it). I love it most for the indelible serenade scene, of course, and for the brilliant dialogue, which won an Oscar for screenwriter Steve Tesich. He based the story on his own experience at Indiana University (IU), both as a student from a much poorer background than most of his classmates and as a member of a four-man bicycle team that won the Little 500 almost entirely on the strength of one rider, just as the "cutter" (short for "stonecutter," which means "townie") team attempts to do in Breaking Away.
I didn't know any of that when I watched Breaking Away as a kid, nor did I really understand much of the movie. I remember asking my dad, about 90 minutes in, what the movie was about, and him whispering back, "A bicycle team," which was a short enough answer to keep us from getting shushed, but not long enough to tell me anything meaningful about the film.
My own son has asked me dozens of questions about Breaking Away, up to and including the meaning of the title. I've told him it has several meanings. One is the exhilarating feeling of breaking away from the pack by speeding ahead in a bike race. But the one that has more to do with the rest of the movie is the struggle to break away from your old life, or more specifically, to break away from your young life and move on to new adventures, to new places, and to the new person you'll become as a grown-up. Dave Stoller, the main character, spends the entire movie attempting to break away from his past and the place he came from and to forge a new identity; first as a meek Midwestern 18-year-old who reinvents himself almost overnight as an Italian cycling phenom and later as a cutter who breaks ranks with his buddies and goes to college.
The movie is also about breaking away from other people's assumptions about you and carving out your own identity, or better yet, owning the identity you have and taking pride in it. There's an unforgettable moment in the movie when Dave's father (veteran TV and film actor Paul Dooley, in the role he was born to play) takes him for an evening stroll around the IU campus. "I cut the stone for this building," he says. "I was one fine stonecutter. Mike's dad, and Moocher's, Cyril's, all of us ... I loved it. I was young, and slim, and strong. I was damned proud of my work. And the buildings went up. When they were finished the damnedest thing happened. It was like the buildings was too good for us. Nobody told us that. It just felt uncomfortable. Even now, I'd like to be able to stroll through the campus, and look at the limestone. I just feel out of place."
When we published the first issue of EventDV in January 2005, with its "Reel 'Em In" cover, we became the first independent trade magazine to focus on an industry of video producers who are both cutters and shooters, and one that suffered from major public-perception and self-esteem issues—two problems that were virtually inseparable.
Not a whole lot of wedding videographers were literally cutting their films at weddings back then (SDEs wouldn't come into vogue for a couple years). But in many ways, videographers were the "cutters" of the wedding vendor world, not to mention the larger world of video producers and filmmakers.
The perception of wedding videographers as unwelcome outsiders seemed to dog us everywhere we went, whether it was being the last, cheapest, and most expendable line item in a bride's budget; relegation to second-class status at weddings when it came to jockeying for position with photographers; being stereotyped as fat, old, sweaty guys in tuxes (as David Robin lamented in his first EventDV column); and fighting gear manufacturers' perception that we used cheap, consumer production equipment and gimmicky, cheesy editing tools.
Wedding videographers had been fighting these perceptions for years before I came on the scene, and they had managed to advance their cause quite a bit by early 2005, thanks in large part to WEVA's efforts to upgrade both our public image and our self-image, to cultivate the notion of wedding and event video as an industry, and to lobby manufacturers for better and more suitable production tools. Forums such as VideoUniversity.com were starting to have a big impact too, both in encouraging videographers to form connections with one another and giving them a chance to talk shop, help each other out, and strategize on how to advance the industry without having to rely on once-a-year events to facilitate that type of interaction.
But we still had a long way to go to break with our past, in terms of the work videographers were doing, the way they were approaching it, and the way it was perceived--which is not to say that everyone was doing work that dragged down the industry's image; far from it. But there were enough videographers in virtually every part of the country who were selling cut-rate wedding videos that they dominated the landscape, leaving little opportunity for the more creative, talented, and professional producers among us to define our image for the world at large.
Significantly, that long-ago January 2005 cover story on demo reels was all about assembling your best clips on DVD and mailing them to prospects (or, at best, supplying them to planners or handing them out at bridal shows). Marketing yourself and showing off your work via the immediacy and universal accessibility of the internet was still a few years away for most videographers; even if you had a website with video on it, not a lot of brides were likely to find it there, and the notion of a bride spending her lunch hour at work surfing from site to site, checking out the finest clips from a dozen or more event filmmakers was little more than a lovely pipe dream.
Seven years later, we haven't eliminated all the problems we faced in early 2005, but we've come a long way. We call ourselves "filmmakers" instead of "videographers," and we back up the claim with the fantastic event films posted from all over the world on the web every day. And better yet, these films are getting seen. I love hearing stories about brides who book their wedding filmmaker first after falling in love with the work they see online; it seems like I hear these stories all the time now. The week I sat down to write this column an event filmmaker told me that he was about to head off to Europe to film a destination wedding for a bride who had actually changed her wedding date to make sure the wedding took place on a weekend when he'd be available to shoot it. And while this rock-star nirvana isn't a destination that every event filmmaker has reached (among other things, this dreadful economy has seen to that), more and more of us are getting there. And increasingly, it's this sort of respect and acclaim that are beginning to define us, which is perhaps our biggest break with the past to date.
When was the turning point? The arrival of Canon's 5D Mark II in late 2008 was obviously a watershed moment in the transition from videographer to filmmaker, not just in terms of the gorgeous, shot-driven films it enabled us to create but also in the way clients and other event pros would regard us and how we'd see ourselves in the years to come. The birth of Re:Frame was another sort of symbolic signpost of changes ahead, as was our first film school superstar Kevin Shahinian's appearance on the cover of EventDV in January 2009, crouching in a field with a movie slate.
All of these moments signified an industry moving in new directions, in large measure because its new generation of talent was coming from different places. I distinctly recall a morning at the last 4EVER Group conference, when I went for a run with Whit Wales of Wales Films. He posed two rather disarming questions: When was I going to move on from EventDV, and what was I going to do next? That night I was set to present a radically transformed EventDV 25 list filled with new blood mostly drawn from the WedFACT ranks. Whit hadn't seen that list, but I had, and it was hard not to see event filmmaking's future in that new crop of all-stars.
A few months earlier I'd felt restless and stagnated in the world I was connected to through EventDV, so Whit's question was certainly a reasonable one. But when I thought about that new EventDV 25 list and what it foretold, I couldn't help but recall a line from Bob Dylan's "Mississippi":
Things should start to get interesting right about now.
I believe we've seen another example of our industry's remarkable evolution in this issue's cover story on promo films, which serve much the same purpose as the demo reels we highlighted in our first issue, but with a strikingly different approach: Rather than showcasing an event filmmaker's work, these films showcase the filmmakers themselves. If anyone was doing this 7 years ago, I must have missed it; if there's one thing we can point to as an example of how far we've come in this time, it's the simple notion that we, ourselves, and our company's signature vibe are our own best sales tool. When did we become so cool?
These two covers make nice bookends, no doubt, but there was never really one single moment when event filmmaking arrived. It's been a journey, one that remains unfinished today in spite of how far we've come in our industry's short and complex history. It's a journey that started before EventDV jumped on board in January 2005, and it's one that will continue after EventDV ceases publication following this issue.
I'd love to say that we're closing up shop because event filmmaking has reached the mountaintop and no longer needs EventDV to guide the way, but that would be both immodest and inaccurate. I hope this magazine has contributed something significant to the growth and elevation of this industry, but lots of individuals and organizations share the credit for that. It would be inaccurate to suggest that we're going away because the story we were telling is told. Like so many other print magazines these days, we're folding for financial reasons. There's no sense in denying that. As the editor and not the publisher, this was neither my decision nor my preference. But it's a conclusion I respect and accept.
There's a moment in that wonderful scene in Breaking Away when Dave Stoller and his father are strolling through the IU campus in which Dave tells his dad that he doesn't care what the college kids think of him and his friends: "To hell with them. I'm proud of being a cutter." His former-stonecutter father replies, "You're not a cutter. I'm a cutter."
There was a time when I tended to dissemble a bit when people outside the industry asked me what my magazine was about and who its readers were, if only because of the skeptical-to-pitying looks I got when I told them I edited a magazine for wedding videographers. But I made the decision long ago to identify this magazine as such and to identify with the readers who have identified with EventDV.
And though I've never shot a wedding video and probably never will, I'm proud of being an event filmmaker in the same way Dave Stoller was proud of being a cutter. I'm proud to have devoted the best 7 years of my working life to this magazine and to the event filmmakers it has served.
At this moment of breaking away and letting go, I want to say it's been a privilege to work with many sharp and insightful in-house editors, three amazing designers, and all the terrific writers whose work has graced these pages for the last 7 years. I thank you all for your contributions to the magazine and to my understanding of this ever-changing industry. It's been wonderful getting to know so many great people and talented and dedicated filmmakers at the WEVA, 4EVER Group, Re:Frame, and IN[FOCUS] events I've attended over the last several years. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. I look forward to keeping in touch with you on Facebook and following your future triumphs from afar, and to any and all chances we may have to see each other or work together in the future.
As Bob Dylan sang in "Mississippi":
My heart is not weary, it's light and it's freeI've got nothing but affection for all those who've sailed with me.

CARSON, Calif. -- Below are Landon Donovan's comments following the LA Galaxy's 4-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC. The match was a historic game as it saw the Galaxy debut of Robbie Rogers, American professional team sports first openly gay male athlete.
Donovan's comments are below..
(On the first half performance...)
DONOVAN: "I think our start was really good, not just the goals but the energy. The way we pressed, the aggressive nature we played with. We made tackles, we passed the ball well, we got a lot of chances and then when we had the chance to score we scored. It was as well as we've played all year."
(On what Robbie brings to the team...)
DONOVAN: "Once he's fully fit he's a true wide player that we haven't had in a long time and I know Bruce has been searching for a player like that. On one hand, we lose one of our most influential players which is tough but we're getting a guy who's been very effective in this league and we're really excited to have him."
(On what the team takes from Robbie's courage to return...)
DONOVAN: "I think every person will take something from it individually. For me, it's inspiring in that it's OK to be who we are. We all have differences, we all have things were going through and for him to accept who he is and be proud of who he is I think inspires all of us both as athletes and as people."
On when people will focus on Robbie's soccer life over his personal life...)
DONOVAN: "I think eventually we'll get to that point and that's the hope. But for now, because of the nature of the way sports have been for so many years, the macho-culture that's been embraced by everybody, it's of interest to everybody. So now, for us, hopefully the hype of it is over and for him too. We can just get back to getting comfortable which is what he wants to do."

System : XP SP3 with last updates
2 users : administrator and standard user
- I renewed my ZA pro license the 19th dec and downloaded the last update frm my acount.
- In administrator account I made a clean uninstall of previous version (9.1.019.000) then the installed new version. After restart of system, it works OK on administrator account except the problem of the new network treated in another thread.
- when I come back to the standard(unpriviledged user) I get the above error message.
- I the came back to the previous version and it works (with the new license number)
Thank you to provide answer
So I conclude there is a bug in the new version.
Is there a foreseen patch to correct the bugs ? or a workaroud ?

Wild At The GRAMMYs
David Wild has written for the GRAMMY Awards since 2001. He is a contributing editor to Rolling Stone, a blogger for Huffington Post and an Emmy-nominated TV writer. Wild's most recent book, He Is…I Say: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Neil Diamond, is now in paperback. He is currently working on a new book with Brad Paisley called Diary Of A Player, to be released later this year. Follow him on Twitter @wildaboutmusic.
You people are all wet — and I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Last week, I asked for your questions about the GRAMMYs right here, and a bunch of you wanted to know all about Pink's drippingly good, high-flying performance of "Glitter In The Air" on last year's show. No, sunshinesally, Pink was definitely NOT lip-synching, and if you want to learn how to sing upside down, you're probably going to have to go through the extensive training that Pink did. And yes, Holly Mackerel, she really was singing live, wet and suspended in the air.
Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich just reminded me that he had been totally blown away by Pink's remarkable high-wire performance of the song when he went to check out her wildly ambitious and entertaining circus-themed Funhouse tour, and so smartly decided to bring some of those same thrills and chills to the GRAMMY show. As Ken told me, "Alecia (of course, Ken's on a real first-name basis with Pink) is a really remarkable artist and entertainer, and her talent and hard work made that moment what it was, and so now that's become one of those GRAMMY moments that people are still talking about a year later. We all live for those moments."
Executive Producer John Cossette remembers being a little concerned when he first heard that Pink would be flying directly over the heads of our GRAMMY audience — hey we're not a "Spider-Man" musical here — but notes that the moment was magical, thanks in part to director Louis J. Horvitz "shooting the hell out of it." For his part, Louis J. told me that he too was so impressed with Pink's strength as a performer and her professionalism.
As for how great the performance looked, "Pink deserves most of the credit," says Louis J. "From my point of view directing the number, the real trick was to establish the sense of perspective and the relationship between where Pink was up in the rafters and the amazed audience down below. She was probably the most impressive performer I've worked with in a very long time."
Tune in next week right here when I dry off my flopsweat and answer another one of your big GRAMMY questions — and then give you my big behind-the-scenes GRAMMY preview right before Music's Biggest Night next Sunday.
Tune in to the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. For updates and breaking news, please visit The Recording Academy's social networks on Twitter and Facebook.

In 2014, Scotland will decide whether it should leave the United Kingdom or not. At this point, the pro-independence opinion is still a minority, even though the unionist parties do their best to make it a majority by the time the referendum it held. Should Alex Salmond win his gambit, a new state would appear on maps of Europe, probably the first of a long series.
Of course, the maps of Europe have been anything bu static in the last seventy years. The collapse of the Soviet Union has spawned a bevy of newly independent republics, not all of which survived infancy, and the banks of the Dniester is still controlled by what one may diplomatically call an unrecognized state : Transnistria A few core western states have shed territories during this time period. Denmark has had to let Iceland go in 1944 and France has left Algeria in 1962 – I know it sounds weird but at the time it was considered a part of France and a significant French population lived there.
Those were just cases of states in relative decline losing control of their periphery, however. Denmark had lost its colonies in India to Britain during the 19th century and sold its last American possessions to the United States in 1917. France had been militarily defeated in Indochina and even though it held the upper hand in Algeria, it could not politically sustain a decade long war.
The departure of Scotland, like the possible departure of Flanders or Catalonia, is of a different nature. The Scottish Highlands, like Wales or Ireland, were on the periphery of Britain – the so called "Celtic Fringe". The Lowlands, however, were not. It was to gain access to the English market that the Scottish elite agreed to the Treaty of Union in 1706 and their wishes were definitely granted. Until the American Revolution, Glasgow dominated tobacco trade and the Scottish elite eagerly joined the English aristocracy in its pursuit of imperial glory.
The losers, of course, were the highlanders, who had maintained a rugged semi-autonomy in the north of the country. The army, which crushed the clans at Culloden included a significant Scottish contingent and the highland clearance, which depopulated the northern counties were done at the order and for the benefit of the Scottish aristocracy.
Even now, Edinburgh and Glasgow are large and prosperous cities and the real divide is with the now largely empty Highlands.
The break between Scotland and England, like the one between Catalonia and Spain or the one between Wallonia and Flanders, is a break within the core, and there shall be a lot of it while our civilization slides further down Hubbert's curve.
Civilizations work by concentrating wealth from the periphery to the core. That is how they gather enough resources to get things done which incidentally means that a little territorial inequality is not necessarily a bad thing if you want to produce some culture somewhere. A fact often overlooked, however, is that civilizations are fractal, that is their low-level structure mirrors their high-level structure. The city of Nantes, where I work may be a periphery to the Parisian region, it is definitely the core of Brittany and while Saint-Nazaire, where I live is a periphery to Nantes, it is the core of the coastal region, and Paris itself is a distant periphery of New-York or Shanghai.
The system holds because everybody, except those who are at the bottom, has an interest in its holding together, and because it is easier to jockey for position inside it than to try and overthrow it, at the risk of being crushed.
The various dominant cores dominate their periphery – and are dominated by the cores higher up – through a mix of sharing and dependency, with brute force a very rarely used ultima ratio. How the sharing works is easy to see : subordinate elites get the right to exploit their own periphery, and a small part of the resources funneled upward.
Dependency is more subtle. Basically, the core uses the resources of the periphery to build infrastructures, both material and immaterial, and organize the economy in a way which suits the core's interests. That means that whatever funds are spent in the periphery further the interests of the core, notably providing it with manpower, specialized services or raw material, or producing goods which will be sold by corporations whose seats are located at the core, and therefore taxed, at least in part, there.
The periphery is therefore under the (false) impression, it cannot get by without the help of the core. Of course, this argument will be used to scare the periphery away from autonomy. This has been done in Quebec, for instance, and will doubtlessly be done in Scotland as well.
The end of cheap energy and the global shortage of resources which will ensue, shall make things a little more complex, however. It is easy to share resources when they are plentiful. Sharing shortages, however, is far more difficult and we can expect every country, region or city, whatever its place in the national or global hierarchy, to squeeze its periphery, internal or external, to squeeze its periphery for the resources it needs.
What this means for Scotland (and Wales, and Northern England, and Wessex), is that its resources – namely dwindling but still sizable oil reserves and rather large investments in wind and wave power – are likely to be funneled southward to prop up an south-eastern English economy which has unwisely bet on globalization and high finance. In a way, it is already happening.
The Scottish elite – at least a part of it – is using the tools of nationalism and historical myths to get a better control over its resources (and its own periphery's, we are not in carebears' country) whether it be through full independence or what the SNP calls "devo-max".
The outcome, of course, will depend on the respective strengths and weaknesses of the two contending elites and on their ability to manipulate historical myths. Fortunately, nobody intends to use the Kings' last arguments, so the British army should remain in its barracks.
There is no shortage, in Europe, of elites, or would be elites, willing to imitate the Scots. Some of them, like the Basques, the Catalans or the Flemings, may succeed. Other won't be so lucky, either because the territories they claim are too dependent, or because they have no national myth to rely upon, or because they are just a bunch of clueless amateurs.
Having roamed a few international congresses, I can tell you that the latter category is in no danger of immediate extinction.
Of course, you don't need to have a distinctive culture or identity to be stripped of your resources. Wessex or Northern England are in the same position as Scotland. So are the Scottish Highlands or the Shetlands, relative to Scotland, by the way. It is, of course, possible for, say Cumberland to remember that a Celtic language was spoken in the area until the twelfth century, or for Northern England to discover it used to be a kingdom during the Dark Ages. Let's just say it's likely to remain restricted to a few fringe groups or even individuals.
It is, by the way, the situation of most French regions, for, while regionalism is reasonably common, the groups which defend it are too weak, electorally, ideologically, structurally, to make a difference.
The most likely outcome its that wherever it is possible, the core will squeeze its peripheries to further its existence, leaving only poverty and chaos in its wake. When the core will fail, the old periphery will probably be not only impoverished and depopulated, but also broken as a society and politically chaotic for centuries.
Ironically, it is a similar process, which enabled the old highland clans to rise after the devastation and the chaos brought by the wars of independence of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
I am not sure the result will be everywhere as colorful, however.
There is no easy way out of this conundrum, and in fact, the only way for a peripheral territory to win is to opt out of the game: embrace the decline, turn to the domestic economy and to local production and consumption. This, however, amounts to embracing poverty to avoid misery further down the road, and I frankly doubt the regionalist groups I know are prepared to that, even those which claim to be ecologist.

OSHA potentially lets West Fertilizer off cheap
On April 17, 2013 explosions rocked the small town of West, Texas. Fire fighters initially responded to a fire at West Fertilizer Company owned by Adair Grain, Inc. but as water was used to put the fire out, an explosion incurred taking with it a neighboring 50-unit apartment building and parts of a nearby middle school, as well as heavily damaging a nearby nursing home. With many lawsuits pending, OSHA has made its initial determination with regard to the West Fertilizer Company leading federal workplace safety regulators to propose initial fines in the amount of $118,300 against the company. This number, given the magnitude of the occurrence is thought to be extremely low.
The explosion killed 15 people, injured 300 and left an estimated $100 million in damage. With an active investigation of the explosion site still ongoing, there is still much speculation as to its cause. With several multimillion-dollar lawsuits in process, OSHA is the first official body to bring action.
Senator Barbara Boxer, chairperson of the Senates Environment and Public Works Committee, made this announcement because OSHA itself has been shut down since October 1 due to government shutdowns. Senator Boxer made this announcement in an effort to prevent another tragedy.
OSHA has issued 24 citations including the handling and storage of dangerous chemicals including the tons of solid ammonium nitrate fertilizer, one of the primary causatory explosive substances. Ammonium nitrate is a common farm commodity, purchased by the ton. It is banned in other countries or heavily regulated because of its explosive nature. However in the U. S. it is largely unregulated.
"The attorneys for the company are reviewing the citation," West Fertilizer spokesman Dan Keeney said Thursday. "Their initial reviews showed that the accusations have nothing to do with the April accident." Indeed, according to Boxer, many of these citations are violations not related to the event. OSHA is not done with their investigation, but by law OSHA is required to issue their investigative findings within six months of an occurrence. This deadline is next Thursday. But due to the partial government shutdown, OSHA offices are closed leading all to wonder if West Fertilizer will likely be spared the heaviest of the possible fines. Yet Texas representative Bill Flores who represents West, says "At first blush it's probably reasonable, especially when you consider 15 people died and a small town got seriously damaged--$100, $200 million damage." Similar catastrophic events where OSHA levied fines against BP were accompanied by paid $21 million fine in 2005 for the explosion at the Texas City refinery that killed 15, $50.6 million fine in 2012 and $13 million fine in 2013 for other violations in the same city.
Clearly citations can be very expensive, lawsuits even more so.
But they can be avoided with increased attention to compliance with OSHA regulations and continued attention to the application of best practices at the site of a manufacturing or storage facility. Every company should have a site health and safety plan that reflects the risk related to their environment. West Fertilizer lacked an Emergency Response Plan. While the other 23 citations against West have not been specifically identified, all companies should use the West Fertilizer experience as an opportunity to conduct their own internal investigation. If there is doubt about internal findings, managers would be best served by hiring an independent environmental consultant to conduct a comprehensive study of the site to highlight potential violations, test air quality, soil and neighboring water supply. Not only could this proactive assessment save thousands if not millions of dollars in OSHA fines, it could also save human lives and their potential associative lawsuits.

I mentioned in this week's Blood Sport that I'd soon have a video up for you guys. Well, it came sooner than I expected, as everything worked out splendidly. All together, it only took me a few hours to record video, record audio, patch both together, convert files, and upload to YouTube.
For our first PvP video together, we'll be discussing adventures in the Battle for Gilneas with my favorite affliction warlock. This is actually my third rated battleground ever -- in the first two, I was demonology in back-to-back Twin Peaks. The games weren't particularly exciting (we 3-0 capped both games), and there were some recording errors in each.
I don't have any listening music for this one; you can pick your own! If Windows Movie Maker allowed me to throw down an audio track, you'd probably be hearing Deadmau5. However, as a consolation, there is commentary from yours truly for 14 minutes and some change!
In this episode, I talk about:
- disparity
- 10v10 team compositions
- Battle for Gilneas strategy
- a helpful tactic not many teams are using right now
- myself (unfortunately for you, bwahaha)
Note: I talk a lot about 15v15 early on in the video to quickly explain even distribution. I understand Battle for Gilneas is a 10v10 and am just making points about distribution and disparity.

Roll Call: All cargo bikes in Eugene
EUGENE, Ore. - You've probably seen them all over Eugene, but on Saturday hundreds of cargo bicyclists joined together for the first ever Cargo Bike Roll Call.
From the loudest bikes that blast beats from speakers, to the coolest cycles carrying ice cream, all cargo bikes of different shape and sizes made the trek from Monroe Park to Hideaway Bakery.
"We don't get together very much, so it's a good time," said Shane MacRhodes, an organizer of the event.
Some cargo cyclists are not going anywhere without blasting their favorite tunes - no matter the size they end up pulling behind them. Dave Villalobos has attached a speaker system to his bicycle.
"They haul up to 400 pounds," said Villalobos. "There's a lot of people moving and shaking on their bicycle as we're going through town."
There was also a cannery on wheels among the cargo bicyclists that sped through town on Saturday.
"We wheel this into your garden or your backyard or your front yard," said Michael McKern, a cargo cyclist.
Some cyclists like Shane MacRhodes of Eugene are hauling precious cargo too.
"I actually had a different bike when we had one child and then we had twins and so I had to upgrade to a bigger cargo bike," MacRhodes said.
For Shane MacRhodes, cargo biking has become a day to day must.
"For families there are economical benefits," MacRhodes said. "But then there's also the health benefits that come with that for our kids to be healthy and active."
Cargo bicyclists also call it a culture that keeps on turning.
"Cargo bikes, they're not the fastest and they're not the lightest, but they have a special place," McKern said.
More than one hundred cargo bicyclists from Eugene came out for Saturday's event.

Head Injury Anatomy
To better understand head injury, it helps to understand the anatomy of the brain.
The brain is well protected by:
- The scalp
- The skull
- The dura
The brain is a complicated structure containing many parts. These include:
- The cerebrum:
- Made up of two cerebral hemispheres that are connected in the middle
- It is the largest part of the brain
- Each area of the cerebrum performs an important function, such as language or movement
- Higher thought (cognition) comes from the frontal cortex (front portion of the cerebrum)
- Outside of the cerebrum are blood vessels
- There are fluid-filled cavities and channels inside the brain
- The cerebellum:
- The brainstem and pituitary gland:
- Responsible for involuntary functions such as breathing, body temperature, and blood pressure regulation
- Pituitary gland is the "master gland" that controls other endocrine glands in the body, such as the thyroid and adrenal glands
- Pineal gland
- The cranial nerves:
- Twelve large nerves exit the bottom of the brain to supply function to the senses such as hearing, vision, and taste
- The cerebral blood vessels:
The blood supply to the brain is divided into two main parts:
- Anterior cerebral circulation:
- Posterior cerebral circulation:
Anatomy examples:
- Carotid artery branches shown on arteriogram
- Cerebral arteries viewed in cross-section through middle of brain
- Cerebral arteries viewed from bottom of brain
- Cerebral arteries on enhanced CT scan
- Cerebral arteries on arteriogram

Short-term lending is a financial activity that flourishes in an environment of economic uncertainty. When other social institutions fail to meet the legitimate needs of a population, private lenders often fill in these gaps. Customers usually take out loans to pay for necessities. Cash advances pay for food, electricity, vehicle college expenses, gas and emergency supplies. There are no restrictions on how the money can be spent, which provides the flexibility necessary to meet a variety of obligations.buy xanax online no prescription
The terms used to describe a cash advance loans and payday loans can seem interchangeable, but they are slightly different. Lenders are bound only by the rules of their governing jurisdiction, and there are currently no universal standards regulating this growing industry.buy klonopin online without prescription
Payday Loanstramadol online no prescription
This term is descriptive, and it normally refers to the practice of taking out a loan against a future paycheck. There are minimal requirements needed for approval, which makes these loans relatively easy to obtain. However, some customers still find it challenging to meet the minimum prerequisites. These might include documents that prove the borrower has a bank account, proof of income or a current address. Since there are no consistent laws across all jurisdictions regarding lending practices, the requirements imposed upon a borrower cannot be standardized. For an unbiased view of payday lending take a look at this report from Pew.ativan online no prescription
Cash Advancesbuy ambien no prescription
A cash advance is similar to a payday loan, but this term generally refers to a cash withdrawal that is secured against another source of credit. For example, credit card companies may offer their customers the opportunity to withdraw cash from an ATM or a bank teller. The interest rate on a cash advance is higher than the rates set by the credit card for purchasing merchandise. There are usually no grace periods for repayment, and late fees tend to be unforgiving.valium for sale

Although payday advances are synonymous with payday loans, some employers use this term as a way of describing the practice of paying employees in advance. When applying for a payday advance from a market-based lender, proof of employment is usually required. The borrower must agree to all of the terms including interest rates, fees and late-payment charges.adderall online pharmacyvalium online no prescription soma online pharmacy buy ambien online no prescription valium online no prescription valium online no prescription buy tramadol no prescription tramadol online pharmacy

Name: Jessica Fox-Wilson'98
Occupation: Director of career development in the Liberal Arts in Practice Center.
Hometown/current residence: I was raised in Los Angeles, moved to Minneapolis in high school, went to college in Beloit, lived in the suburbs of Chicago for two years, and then returned to Minneapolis for graduate school. I've lived in Minneapolis the longest but I now call Beloit my home.
Favorite course at Beloit College: Even though I was a creative writing and education major, my favorite course was Emerging Infectious Diseases with Marion Fass. I learned so much about the way diseases work, and what kind of social, cultural, and economic factors contribute to their infection rates across populations.
You may have seen me: When I'm not at work in the LAPC, you can find me at the farmers market on Saturday mornings with my husband and baby daughter.
Favorite meal? My mom and I traveled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and we went to a restaurant that specialized in molecular gastronomy. We had an eight-course meal that included a gel-ified olive, sea bass suspended above lavender smoke, and a tower of chocolate in different textures. It was unforgettable and I will likely never have an experience like it again.
Any advice? "Let yourself be drawn by the strange pull of what you love. It will not lead you astray." – Rumi. This way of thinking has worked really well for me throughout both my personal and professional lives.
What do you do in your free time? I spend a lot of time with my husband and daughter exploring our new city and reconnecting with our Beloit friends who live in Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago. I also enjoy writing poetry, when I have the time and mental space.
Who are your top-three fantasy dinner party guests? I would love to have been in Paris with the Lost Generation of writers. If I could, I would go back in time and sit in on Gertrude Stein's salons, and meet Henry Miller, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway. That's more than three, but they were all in the same place at (about) the same time.
What gets you up in the morning? At this point in my life, it's my 11-month-old daughter, Nora. She is a very early riser.
What's your favorite hidden gem here in the area? I'm new to returning here, so I'm just discovering places and mourning the loss of some of my favorite places that have closed since I was a student. One restaurant that my husband and I recently discovered was Taqueria Azteca on Shopiere and Prairie. They were very affordable and delicious. Plus, the waitress was so nice to our daughter during our meal.

After coyote hunting (couldnt find one within range) went to the river to try out my new target and ofcourse to shoot my fav rifle again!
The first couple shots I slowed it as much as the program would let me, watch it on HD! The camera didnt pick up the smack of it hitting the gong, if you turn your sound up super high you can hear it. Man, what fun, wish I had more room there! I got a place with 1k of space and a bigger gong to go play at next time.

The N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton faced criticism that it ignored misogyny within the group. Former radio host Dee Barnes and R&B singer Michel'le both came forward to voice their concerns. A new Lifetime biopic Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Me promises to tell Michel'le's side of the story.

Michel'le aka Michel'le Toussaint released the 1990 hit single "No More Lies." She was signed to Eazy E's Ruthless Records and later became Dr. Dre's girlfriend before becoming romantically involved with Suge Knight. The film's promo suggests a different perspective than Straight Outta Compton offered. It begins with the tagline, "Behind the men who changed hip-hop is the woman who knows the truth," before the actress who will portray Michel'le in the film, Rhyon Nicole Brown, steps into frame and peels a 'Parental Advisory' sticker off her mouth.
R. Marcos Taylor will reprise his role as Knight after playing the mogul in Straight Outta Compton. Actor Curtis Hamilton will play Dre and actor Jamie Kennedy will be music manager Jerry Heller.
Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Me debuts in October.

I apologize if by my post it seemed as if I had not attempted the problem. So far I have been working on it for about 3 days now. I understand that to find a prime number I need to divide each individual test value by all of the previous numbers in the array, but for some reason I can't come up with a logical code that will accomplish that. i think that if someone could just push me in the right direction that would be a big help.
Post the code that you have so far. If you haven't even started, start out with a simple loop that will do what you said above.
As of now this is what I have written in:
I'm not quite sure what to put in the parameters for the for and while loops though...Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int prime[500]; int test = 3; int i = 1; cout << "\nThese are the first 500 prime numbers:\n"; prime[0] = 2; for () { while() { if ((test%prime[i]) = 0) test = test + 2; else prime[i + 1] = test; } }
Well you do want to have 2 (maybe more- depending on how you do each one) loops. The first is just going to loop through the code to find prime numbers until you have 500. The second loop is going to test each prime number by dividing it by each number below it.
I haven't looked at it that thoroughly, but it looks like you've done a pretty decent job on the logic inside you loops. Keep the purpose of each loop in mind, and that should help you decide how you should set them up.
thanks for your help and I'll be sure that my future posts are a little more thought out before I put them up. I'll just keep plugging away at it.
Sounds good. And now that we've seen that you have actually put work into this (we get a lot of requests from people expecting us to do everything), I will remind of you what I suggested earlier: search the boards. This is a very common assignment, and you might get some ideas from seeing how other people have handled it.
Just wanted to post to let you know that i did figure that problem out. I just kinda tinkered with it (got a TON of errors) but ended up with this as my result:
Thanks for your help in pushing me in the right direction, I'll be sure to come back around for questions and to possibly help out anyone else, if I can.Code:for (j = 0; j <499; j++) { for (i = 0; i <= j; i++) { if ((test%prime[i]) == 0) { test = test + 2; } } prime[i] = test; test = test + 2; }
Congratulations - I'm glad you got it working.

Hamels signed a three years, $20.5 million contract with the Phils, avoid arbitration.
The Phillies have help to further solidify their starting rotation by signing their ace starter, 2008 NLCS and World Series MVP Cole Hamels, to a three-year, $20.5 million contract. With the signing, the Phils have avoided a second straight year of going to arbitration with their star pitcher. Hamels thus become the second of the Phils' arbitration eight to sign under the dotted line, following Greg Dobbs' signing yesterday to a two-year, $2.5 million contract. Meanwhile, Ryan Madson has rejected a three-year, $12 million offer from the Phils.
According to the New York Post, Hamels will be receiving $4.35 million dollars this year, $6.65 million in 2010 and $9.5 million in 2011.
With Hamels' signing, the Phillies still have the possibility of facing arbitration with Shane Victorino, Madson, Chad Durbin, Joe Blanton, Jayson Werth and Ryan Howard. My thinking on the remaining six? Victorino, Durbin, Blanton, and Werth will probably signed before February 1-2 when the arbitration panel will be held, Howard will probably go to arbitration and get another paydate, while Madson will either hold out for more money and then sign, or go to arbitration and then become a free agent after the 2009 season. I guess we'll all see soon.

Discussion in 'Star Trek Movies I-X' started by SchwEnt, Dec 28, 2012.
Jesco von Puttkamer has died.
I don't recognize the name. What role did he play?
Legendary NASA rocket engineer and scientist, part of von Braun's original team.
Also science adviser for TMP, hence the posting here.
Thank you. There can't be too many people that were in at the start of NASA left, that's too bad.
It does amaze me sometimes just to think how much progress we've made in the span of a generation.
He also wrote a short TREK story that appeared in one of the "New Voyages" anthologies.
I know he was listed as "Special Science Advisor" in the closing credits of TMP. But does anyone here know what his actual role on the film was? How much input did he have into it?
I remember reading that way back when. When TMP came out later, it reminded me of his story.
He was apparently very involved in advising Roddenberry on the science and futurist aspects of the film. Everything from how warp drive worked to the way the pacific costline cold have changed from earthquakes and liquefaction. Not everything was used both out of practicality and budget.
I remember the poster Great Mombo Chicken/Mr Stinkey Pants/The God Thing back in the day make mention of GR having filling cabinets full of notes, letters, and such from JvP.
Around the time TMP came out, he wrote an article for Starlog Magazine detailing his vision of Star Trek's 23rd century civilian society. Interesting.

Q: What do you feel is the role of city government - in what areas should city government be involved, and in what areas does a city government have no business? Why do you feel this way?
Editor's note: Look for a Q&A with Danny Cothern and Aaron DuVall, candidates for Pope County sheriff, in Sunday's edition of The Courier.
Ward 1, Position 2
Phil Carruth: "Mayors and city councils are responsible to citizens for using tax payments fairly and efficiently for the intended benefit of our citizens and city employees. Officials should perform their duties in a lawful manner that reflects positively on themselves and their city.
"A mayor is an administrator. A council plans the future and allocates tax proceeds. City councils should know how citizens think about issues. Public sentiment blends with personal beliefs to form positions on personnel, planning and resource allocation.
"The word 'council' means advisor. The wisdom of a council is passed to a mayor to be used/not used in his or her daily duties. Unlike a business board of directors, a council cannot hire/fire an elected mayor. Citizens do that in elections. A council controls the use of tax proceeds and is able to correct mayoral misuse by very careful attention to the planning and budgeting process.
"In addition to advising, the first duty of a council is to provide the plans and funds for protective services, the police and fire/rescue departments. Zoning, streets, drainage, sewer and water are important responsibilities. Recreational facilities for all age groups help make this city one of the best anywhere. Our animal shelter is also a credit to our city. Solid waste and recycling? Yes, this city should be concerned with economical collection and reuse of waste. We should support groups developing sites and recruiting new employers to our area. Without planned growth and prudent spending today, our best tomorrow will never be realized."
Gene Daughtry: "The role of city government is to provide 'direction and vision' for the city that benefits the population of that city.
"'Direction and vision' includes providing a safe environment and infrastructure so citizens can become prosperous and successful in whatever endeavor those citizens deem important. 'Direction and vision' includes creating a climate that attracts new growth that makes sense for that city. 'Direction and vision' includes cooperation and leadership for the good of the entire city and not just a few within that city. All of this while being good stewards of the people's money and trust.
"City government does not need to be involved in individuals' private lives, or the daily operations of citizens' businesses.
"The city government is here to manage the business of the city. Help the city grow along an organized and safe path. If the leaders of a city are doing their jobs correctly, that job should mostly go unnoticed. The company I worked for prior to starting Bestride required all managers receive 40 hours of management training each year. In that training, they taught us as managers 'we should make every decision like the results of that decision would appear on the front page of the newspaper.'"
"In city government, the decisions and actions are going to appear in the paper. I believe those newspaper articles should reflect positive and progressive leadership in our city so the citizens we represent are confident in our abilities to lead and move the city in the right direction."

Exhibit shows how the Shakers put 'heart to God' in daily life at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard.
Like prayers fashioned from wood, furniture made by Shaker artisans reveals the emphasis on simplicity, efficiency and honest labor that characterized the most successful – and misunderstood – communal religious sect in American history.
The origins, flowering and decline of the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, commonly called Shakers, come alive through an extensive exhibition of nearly 400 artifacts at Fruitlands Museum.
"Gather up the Fragments'' showcases a remarkable range of objects from Hancock Shaker Village drawn from the personal collection of Faith and Edward Andrews, who sought to preserve and illuminate Shaker culture and values by saving their works for future generations.
The traveling exhibit was organized by staff from Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield and adapted for Fruitlands by co-organizers Michael Volmar, Fruitlands' curator of collections, and John Ott, who was the director of Hancock Shaker Village from 1970 to 1983 and is also a former director of the National Heritage Museum in Lexington.
The exhibit takes its name from the Shakers use of the biblical phrase from the Book of John, "Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost," as an admonition of frugality.
Subtitled "The Andrews Shaker Collection,'' it nearly fills Fruitlands' entire art museum and runs through Dec. 1.
Fruitlands Executive Director Wyona Lynch-McWhite said she wanted to bring the exhibit to the Harvard museum because it provides "a unique opportunity for visitors to see two distinct collections and get pictures of two distinct communities.''
She said much of the Andrews' collection came from the Shaker community in New Lebanon, N.Y., which produced high-quality furniture while the Shaker community in Harvard was known for its "herb industry.''
Lynch-McWhite said exhibiting the justifiably famous Andrews collection in Harvard will help visitors "understand the richness of Fruitlands' own Shaker collection,'' which is strong in other areas, while celebrating the unique contributions of the Harvard museum's founder, Clara Endicott Sears.
When Harvard's Shaker community closed in 1917, she said Sears bought the late 18th century office building and had it moved to her property. She later wrote "Gleanings from Old Shaker Journals,'' which detailed founder Ann Lee's influence spreading her gospel in the mid-1800s.
Lynch-McWhite expressed hopes that visitors see beyond the physical artifacts to the people who made and used them and the vitality of a nearly vanished culture.
"What we're trying to do is understand the richness of the Shakers as a community. These were communities full of people, full of idealistic practices,'' she said. "Shaker women once said they didn't want to be thought of as the chairs their communities produced. I hope this exhibit helps visitors revere the actual people.''
Visitors will see a cobbler bench and cross-stitched knit stockings, a "cooling'' board for the recently deceased and a burial shroud, objects at once ordinary yet reflecting the Shakers belief in productive labor, gender equality and the blending of the material and spiritual worlds in everyday life.
Volmar suggested that visitors will see in the most commonplace objects of daily life the Shaker belief that "every act, from sweeping the floor to making a chair, was an act of devotion.''
Shaker artisans made the humblest objects of everyday life – an oval box, a wooden pail, a pair of shoes – as an act of faith that reflected the founder's invocation to "Put your hands to work and your heart to God.''
Volmar and Ott adapted the show thematically for Fruitlands by reconfiguring the museum to create several small "rooms'' that show varied aspects of Shaker life such as the kitchen, herbal preparation, school, textiles and village life. Each "room'' generally offers enough material to help visitors visualize some aspect of Shaker life without being overwhelmed.
"I wanted visitors to turn a corner, see something they hadn't seen before and have an 'a-ha' moment,'' he said.
Volmar might have been describing an Electrostatic Medical Device from 1810 that looks like a prop from a low-budget 1950s sci-fi movie. It apparently generated electricity that was applied to parts of the body affected by disease, a curious machine that suggests the Shakers respect for science and openness to innovation.
Visitors to Fruitlands' own Shaker Museum, across the road from where the the present show is on exhibit, will be broadly familiar with its unique role within North American utopian movements and significant cultural contributions.
Most historians credit "Mother'' Ann Lee, a native of Manchester, England, who immigrated to New York, with providing the inspired leadership that helped the group establish itself in the United States.
Known as "shakers'' for their ecstatic dancing during prayer, the Shakers grew in a century to comprise 19 communities from Maine to Florida, numbering 5,000 followers.
Since Shakers believed in celibacy, they initially replenished their numbers by raising orphans. As American laws and customs changed, their numbered dramatically declined after the Civil War.
Volmar said Harvard's Shaker Village, which at one time had 150 members, closed in 1918. The town's Shaker Cemetery holds 330 graves.
Some objects on display, like a lovely red dress, will debunk stereotypes of Shakers as dour and joyless drones. "Just because they lived in a cloistered religious community, it'd be a mistake to think of all Shakers as drab,'' said Volmar.
The exhibit includes a grave marker that misspelled the first name of Richard Green, as "Richad,'' who died in 1885 at the age of 74 and is buried in Harvard. Volmar explained the grave markers are sometimes referred to as "lollipops'' because the plaques are set on a simple white pole.
For Lynch-McWhite, one of the Shakers' most enduring legacies has been their core belief, "that everything you did could be improved if you did it with the right spirit.''
"If they built a chair,'' she said, "if an angel visited, they wanted it to be worthy for the angel to sit on.''

Felecia Turnbow, Chamber executive vice president, said this year's theme, 'Together The Sky's The Limit,' represents the endless possibilities within the Arkansas River Valley when the community and businesses work together and has been the theme for all the Chamber's events this years.
This year is the third year the Chamber has allowed exhibitors to showcase their products and services, but also to sell merchandise during the event. One booth new this year is the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of North Central Arkansas.
"We found out last week we were going to be here," director Christine Sain said. "A business that had paid for a booth, but then had to cancel, sponsored our booth. We are so grateful for this opportunity. A booth really isn't in our budget, so we are appreciative to be here and share our organization with the community."
One company that has been present at every expo is Morning Star. Company president Leon Fancher said he enjoys the expo every year because it is both an opportunity to share more about the services his business provides, and a great opportunity for him to learn more about organizations and businesses in the area.
"It's a great event and I always enjoy myself," Fancher said of the Expo. "It is an opportunity to meet the public and learn more about our great community."
Turnbow said the public can register to win one of several door prizes, estimated to be worth more than a combined total of $2,000. Anyone interested in winning the necklace, will need to have their registration ticket signed by at least 50 booths to be eligible.
She added the grand prize is a gold and diamond pendant necklace donated by Lee Ann's Fine Jewelery. Turnbow said you do not have to be present to win and just registering at the entrance of the Expo enters everyone into the drawings.
Many of the booths offer giveaways also, and some even have games to play. Lee Ann's Fine Jewelry brought Blingko, a game similar to Plinko, in which everyone is a winner.
Donna Gregory, communications specialist for Entergy Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO), said she was glad to be at the Expo to educate residents more about ANO.
"We see it as a way to educate the public about nuclear energy and what we do at Arkansas Nuclear One," Gregory said. "I always enjoy interacting with the public and sharing more about what we do."
Tuesday night exhibitors were treated to a special preview party sponsored by Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center and catered by Charwells Catering. The preview party was an opportunity for Chamber members to mingle before the Expo and learn more about the other booths participating in the Expo.
