Japanese themes
Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution (Japanese: ワタルとあかいギャラドス! Wataru and the Red Gyarados!) is the 235th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 7, 2002 and in the United States on February 15, 2003.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Ash and his friends are walking down the road to Mahogany Town when all of a sudden Pikachu feels sick, followed soon by Togepi. Ash starts to wonder what's going on, but he thinks it's probably just a thing that comes and goes. Soon some Bug Pokémon drop in near Misty, but they appear sick too. A sick looking Rattata and Oddish also appear. They all wonder what's going on. The group reaches the Lake of Rage and try to see if there's anything about the lake that could be causing the sickness. All of a sudden a Red Gyarados appears from the water, startling everyone, first because it's a Gyarados, and second because it's red. Within moments of its appearance, Gyarados fires out a Hydro Pump towards the group, which misses.
Soon an unfriendly-looking group of people come by. Ash notices it's Team Rocket, and the leader simply laughs wondering what a bunch of kids are doing. He sends out a Fearow to take care of them and Ash releases Totodile. Just before Totodile can do anything, he suddenly grows tired but the Fearow remains strong. The Fearow dives in with a Drill Peck but just before the Pokémon can hit, a beam fires towards the Fearow from a newly-arrived Dragonite and its Trainer. Seeing this, Team Rocket decides to flee. The Trainer takes Ash and his friends to another part of the forest around the lake and Ash thanks him. Misty notices that the man is Lance from the Pokémon League. They all wonder what he's doing in a place like this and comment on their progress towards becoming Pokémon Masters. One last thing Ash mentions is to help the Red Gyarados, which immediately Lance says no. He explains that it would be too dangerous for Ash, especially since the Team Rocket members were no ordinary grunts. Ash protests, but Lance still refuses.
Somewhere else along the forest around the lake, Jessie, James, and Meowth stumble along, groaning about their next meal and win. Meowth notices something in the distance that looks like a building. With a building, there's got to be some food around there they can swipe. The building however is a Team Rocket HQ, and inside is the man from before, Professor Sebastian, addressing himself to a superior, another major Team Rocket leader, Tyson, who is assigned to capture the infamous Red Gyarados. Upon further inspection of the security systems, Jessie, James, and Meowth are caught on camera. After walking in a hall, they fall for a trap that seals them in a hallway behind two walls of bars. Then Tyson comes by only to see who exactly they are. Jessie, and James say they're a part of Team Rocket obviously but a grunt comes by to say they're not anywhere on the roster list. Jessie and James negotiate for a while and convince Tyson that they're the important ones.
While Ash and friends walk along the road to Mahogany once more, Brock tries to talk with Ash. However Ash seems like he can't stand there and wait for things to go good. He wants to help the Gyarados, whether or not it is dangerous.
Back at the base, a boat's getting ready for the operation to begin. Just behind one of the docking hangers, Lance hides and waits for a chance. An unsuspecting Rocket grunt walks by and Lance grabs him, takes his uniform and goes onto the boat disguised. Back on the boat, Prof. Sebastian explains that Project R is about to begin, but he needs a couple of "expendable" grunts for the first part of the job. Tyson knows the perfect ones. He goes over toward the mess hall where Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet are stuffing their faces and he says that they get an "important" assignment: find the red Gyarados. Everyone assembles on deck, Jessie, James, and Meowth are off to find the red Gyarados, but they all start to argue about the whole Gyarados thing. Soon enough, an angry red Gyarados comes towards them and Jessie, James, and Meowth swim off back to the boat, where all of them break surface. As soon as the target is on sight, a Team Rocket member handling a net gun fires it and surrounds the red Gyarados and Jessie, James, and Meowth! Prof. Sebastian gives a signal and a power shock is delivered through the netting, shocking both Gyarados and Team Rocket.
The boat starts to go with the catch, but Ash and his friends come just in time. Ash sends out Totodile, and Misty sends out Poliwhirl. They both swim to the net, and Totodile chomps the net and Jessie's hair, while Poliwhirl tries to rip it. Lance notices them, thinking Ash is crazy. Seeing the two Pokémon, Sebastian sends out for another device, which triggers a giant Radar back at Team Rocket Headquarters that sends waves out towards to the area. Soon Totodile and Poliwhirl get tired and let go of the net. Ash realizes it's something at the HQ that's doing this. They start to go over there. Before anything can happen, Tyson catches them and hands them over to the hands of Sebastian. Ash demands to know what's going on and what are they going to do with the red Gyarados. Sebastian explains the whole concept behind Project R, short for Project Revolution. The whole idea was that the Gyarados had a strange property in it that made it red. The aim of Project R is to force Pokémon into evolving or try to achieve the "red" state. Thus, the whole Rocket faction would achieve an army of evolved and above-average Pokémon at their disposal. Later Tyson congratulates Jessie, James, and Meowth for their work, but it seems he has other plans for them.
The Gyarados is later loaded onto a truck which Lance is on, along with Tyson and Sebastian. It drives off, leaving the lake, and Ash, behind.

text: I agree that's the answer I purposely left out . When we showed up to the OB this year we were ranked 633 in the ITF's my player knew all these guys ,in his first round against the kid from Japan he said "this guy is solid " and he was but as soon as My player knew he own the guy you could see him relax and cruise in the 3rd set for the win , then when he played the no.6 player in the world they split sets and between the 2nd and 3 rd I ask him what he needed to do ? his answer kinda blew my mind " go after him take the ball right to him he cant keep up with me " Right there I saw his belief he went on to dismantle this poor kid and left him on the court crying ! When we were heading down there he looked at the ITF's and the players like they were something real special after he played them he said being no.1 in the ITFs would mean me traveling but I know I could get it done pretty fast . It really comes down to the mind once you have the skills and the more you play the more your mind retains as you mature .

Subaru Impreza Transmission Problems
My daughter has a 95 impreza AWD in which the rear wheels are not driving.The front wheels are doing all the work.Is there a relay module or similar that could be the problem?I will tell you this we towed the car about 350 miles with the back wheels on the ground after we deactivated the AWD per the manual.The manual didn't mention a limit of miles to be towed so i really didn't know about a problem until i noticed the front tires worn but not the back. Any leads would be appeciated, THANKS, Rob
Didn't mention that the drive shaft isn't turning out of transmission. Thanks
Manual or automatic?
It is an automatic. Rob
Most automatic Subarus can be put in FWD mode with a fuse inserted, but unless you added the fuse specifically that couldn't be it.
No, but it could be that the clutch pack in the center differential is burned out, and it is certainly possible that this occurred as a result of the towing.2014 Audi Q7 TDI, 2008 and 2013 Subaru Forester(s), 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup
articwanderer Posts: 1I was at one of those lube joints and they told me I have flecks in my transmission oil and water in my rear differential - each of which could be solved for just under $500.00 in total. I said no thanks and I have later verified that the transmission oil has little flecks in it. the Tranmission oil reserve tank is mid way cold and the fluid is clean.
Can not check the rear differential they said water was in it.
first of all is it possible the rear differential has water in it?
Flecks in transmission oil is bad sign. I am 1500 kilometers from a dealership and they do not like to hear these kind of things when its on warrantly. How can I diagnos the problem/s if there are any? I mean transmission and rear dif wise?
thanks for any input
The rear differential is a simple enough thing to check... just drain the fluid! The water will sit below the oil, so if you just plan on changing out the fluid, pull the top plug FIRST, then the bottom plug. When you pull the bottom plug, you will see water pour out before the oil starts to drain. If you do have water, I would just drain all the fluid, top it off with a high quality 75w-90 gear oil, and check it again next year. If you have water again, you may be looking at replacing seals.
At this point (unless the car is close to being out of warranty), I would do the same for the transmission - replace the fluid and filter, then watch it to see how it ages.2014 Audi Q7 TDI, 2008 and 2013 Subaru Forester(s), 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup
lilrdwgn Posts: 1Was wondering if "econhonda" (or anyone) ever figured out what was causing the trans to leak...I have a 2000 Impreza RS with a similar problem??? Was it a breather hose??? HELP!!!! :confuse:
econhonda Posts: 2Hey there,
Believe it or not, my gushing leak was fixed by simply replacing the external fluid filter located on the side of the transmission. I was so mad when I found that it was this simple!!! Seriously, spin the old one off, spin the new one on, and bingo. No more leak. I didn't even know my transmission had an external spin-on filter, but it did. Hope this helps.
Glad to hear you found a simple resolution.
I have a 07 Impreza with an automatic transmission, the indicator light next to the speedometer says its in 1st gear no matter where the shift lever is. I can move it thru all the position but the light says its still in first gear. Even though the shift lever is in park the car won't start because it thinks its in first. Is this a limit switch problem or a linkage problem or something else in the transmission. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
Beyond what I'm familiar with, but is it under warranty? 07 covered for 5 years should go until 2011-2012 or so.
That would be great if its under warranty, I bought it used and the car is sitting up the street in a church lot and have not had a chance to get to it. We had a foot of snow and the guy that plowed the lot made it impossible to open the doors so I can't get in and get the owners manual.
paisan Posts: 21,181It is likely the transmission gear indicator switch. It won't be covered under the powertrain warranty but since it's external it shouldn't be too expensive to diag/fix.

jsaf200 Posts: 1I have exactly the same problem... Delay in drive (3-5 sec), reverse no problem, check engine light on, just annoying and kinda scary. My impreza is about 130K and its 2000. I just really hope its not a rebuild trany situation. Very interested how things go for you, let me know what you do to fix it.
nltexas Posts: 1I had engine work done and had a new clutch installed on my 2002 WRX. About a month after taking the car out of repair, I heard a loud noise and it felt like the engine dropped off the car while I was moving; my transmission got stuck in 2nd gear while I was driving.
The repair shop claims that the new clutch they installed has nothing to do with this problem of the transmission being stuck in gear and not budging.
I have heard from others that improper re-installation/mounting of the transmission onto the engine and connection to clutch can cause locking of the gear shift.
Any thoughts/comments please? Thanks, Nick L
kpjigga Posts: 1I have a 1999 Impreza with a crazy transmission light. It is the "at oil temp" light and it comes on at the weirdest times. Hot or cold the light will pop on and when I restart the car, the light is gone. I don't if it is a bad sensor or what. I don't what it means or how to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks
subanoob Posts: 1I was driving when suddenly I could no longer shift gears when the engine is running. I can shift through them when the car is idle. I can also start the car in first gear and drive through all the gears, but if I put it into neutral I cannot shift any more. I have been driving a few miles like this for the past two days, and now the clutch pedal is starting to stick. If I try to put it in reverse the gears are grinding. I can start the car in reverse no problem.
A) Any idea what may be the cause of the problem and how much repair might be?
And am I doing further damage by driving it this way?
I can also start the car in first gear and drive through all the gears, but if I put it into neutral I cannot shift any more.
I don't quite understand. Are you rev-matching to shift when you do not put it into neutral, or are you pressing the clutch pedal and shifting as normal, just going directly from one gear to another?
I'm thinking you have an issue with your clutch fork, linkages, or similar. I suspect the transmission is fine.2014 Audi Q7 TDI, 2008 and 2013 Subaru Forester(s), 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup
kyfdx Posts: 70,666Yeah... sounds like a clutch issue to me, too..
I wouldn't drive it that way... If it is just the clutch, and the transmission is okay, you sure don't want to damage the transmission... that would add mega-bucks to the repair...

jphan Posts: 1Were you able to solve this problem? I have same or similar problem. Was wondering what you did to fix.
phxmotor Posts: 9This is why I never opened a shop of my own. So many shops just can't tell the truth. It's maddening and sad that so many shops knowingly mislead people just for the fun of it.They just can't help themselves. And why not, it's so easy to do. Heck; half of the driving public (no; it's more like 75%) can't change their own tire and go to bed every night thinking only a "shop" can read a code reader.
It's fun to diagnose car related things, and it just isn't all that hard to do. I'm at a loss to see how many people are just ripe for the plucking. But after reading one posting like this after another I'm going to have to start avoiding this activity. It's not fun anymore. It just convinces me how lame and guilable many people are. Kinda like our legisltive uberclass. They sure act like they are worthy of respect and trust, but in reality...
sboice1 Posts: 1how hard is it to rebuild a auotmatic transmission for a 05 subaru impreza rs 2.5
stuck9 Posts: 1took car out today on a long trip, noticed abs light on at traffic light, shut car off and restarted light was out, 30-40 miles down the road it started vibrating then stopped then did it again then stopped. I pulled of off the highway and the trans started to slip pretty good. Pulled into a lot and noticed the A/T trans light was on, the ABS light was on, the cruise control light was flashing. I checked the trans fluid and it seems to be dark and a little foamy but the level isn't low. Let the car sit and cool down completely. It slipped as I backed out of the spot but other wise seemed ok going back home till I got back of the highway and to my first traffic light. The trans slipped bad in first gear and just a little in 2nd gear. Then the lights came back on and the engine revs but car will not move. anyone experience this? its an 09 Impreza with 98k on it, never changed the fluid and I dont think it will help now
Don't sell your car short.... a flush is a LOT cheaper than a new transmission! While it is possible that irreparable damage is done, try cleaning out the badly sheared fluid, remove the varnish on the clutch plates and other channels and surfaces, and just see what you see in terms of results. I had some luck with Lucas transmission oil in a badly worn AT a while back.
It's been nearly a month since your post, though. How are things now and what have you done in the interim?2014 Audi Q7 TDI, 2008 and 2013 Subaru Forester(s), 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup


text: V 667 Seminar in Public Capital and Debt Theory (3 cr.) P or C: SPEA- V 560. This seminar examines the options open to governments, especially state and local, and why they resort to debt finance. The issues raised by the alternatives are examined in detail. Among the topics are public authority debt, revenue bonds, methods of placement, lease-purchase finance, and maturity choice. In addition, management of idle cash balances will be considered.


text: I have a 2004 Rockster with side cases. I need a mounting plate and either a top case or a backrest so my wife or kids can ride with me. I've toyed with the idea of fabricating a backrest. There seems to limited info when I query Rockster and top cases and backrests. Givi makes a mounting plate and top case but the costs are close to $600 with tax and shipping. Any suggestions?

Moms get chocolates, flowers, meals out and mushy cards on their big day, but most dads are happy to receive some grilling equipment or perhaps a nice tie on theirs.
The folk at the Durango Discovery Museum noticed the disparity nine years ago and saw both an opportunity to honor the fathers among us and raise some much-needed funding. This year's Daddy Fest!, held June 15, attracted about 6,000 people and added $32,000 to the museum's coffers.
Raising $32,000 doesn't happen without the help of generous sponsors, and Carver Brewing Co. continued in its role of Sugar Daddy, this year, of course, dedicated to the memory of Peter Carver, who died in an avalanche at the beginning of February. For the first time ever, McDonald's signed on as a sponsor, which seems like a great fit, and Mercy Regional Medical Center, FASTSIGNS, KRSJ-FM (100.5) and United Pipeline were the other main sponsors, but many businesses and individuals sponsored individual activities as well.
Jeff Moorehead served as the music coordinator, providing the most varied music lineup ever, including Grupo Ruito, a Jazz Sermon by the Jazz Church, Flume Canyon, Papa Otis and the headliners, The Mossers.
There was so much going on, people had to pick up the brochure to make sure they didn't miss anything going on in the 20-ring circus that is Daddy Fest!
On a hot summer day, nothing's more refreshing than getting wet, and lots of visitors at Daddy Fest! dove into the Wet Zone, expanded this year to include a Slip 'n' Slide, a dunk tank and a few other attractions. StoneAge WaterBlast Tools was the perfect sponsor for that attraction.
Because it was a Discovery Museum event, there was a lot of hands-on fun and exploration to be had. You could play on the Imagination Playground, sponsored by United Pipeline, including an engineering competition; build whatever you could imagine at the Lego tent; stop by Garden Sprouts, sponsored by Pediatric Associates, to dissect seeds and make seed bombs; make mini-robots at a booth sponsored by First National Bank of Durango; pan for gold thanks to Durango Diggers; play with stomp rockets courtesy of longtime museum supporter Wallace Short; and enjoy assorted bouncy castle, face painting and so on.
You can't do all that playing without food and fluids. Carver's provided chicken tinga, southwestern quinoa and beef tacos, the museum's own Powerhouse Eatery and Libation food cart served up its gourmet hot dogs, Zia Taqueria prepared its Mexican food, both Baskin-Robbins and Durango's new Cream Bean Berry scooped ice cream and Sno-Cones, sponsored by Ensignal/Verizon Wireless, made every dad feel like a kid.
In addition to scads of volunteers, the Discovery Museum has a bumper crop of interns this year, including Katie Dudley, she of a perfect ACT score and a Boettcher Scholarship fame, who is the first cohort to complete its Science Career Lab Program by climbing all the steps of the ladder. The interns, who number 18 this year, up from eight last year, are participating in a program sponsored by Chevron and designed after a similar program at the New York Hall of Science. Many of them were on hand to help with the festivities.
The event dovetailed perfectly with another "guy" kind of event – the Durango Motor Expo, so no complaints of boredom could be heard.
I was off catching up with my classmates from the Durango High School Class of 1973 during Daddy Fest!, so my thanks go to Ashley Hein, events guru at the museum, for giving me the scoop. After suffering some angst, I have had to finally accept that your 40th reunion means you're middle-aged and rapidly approaching senior citizenhood. Sigh.
Thanks to all my classmates who worked so hard to organize the festivities, and to those whose donations made it free so it was affordable to all.

What are all the movies featured on the ride, in particular what John Wayne movie, Clint Eastwood movie, and Horror movie are they specifically referring to on the ride?

Films on the Great Movie Ride?

Posted 24 April 2011 - 06:41 AM
This seems to be a reasonable list: http://www.amazon.co.../R2J9J00LAIKTG8. I actually always thought the John Wayne scene was supposed to be from The Searchers, like the trailer, but possibly not. The skeletons and mummies just seem generic to me.
Posted 25 April 2011 - 10:56 AM
http://www.greatmovi....com/index.html is a good resource
Posted 09 February 2012 - 12:10 AM
So apparently Lee marvin was going to be in The Great Movie Ride instead of Clint Eastwood as a reference to his character from Cat Ballou. Interesting...

Posted 09 February 2012 - 12:54 AM
Very interesting article indeed. I'm glad Clint ended up on the ride though. So the question still remains as to which Horror movie is specifically being referenced...
Posted 10 February 2012 - 12:36 AM
There is no specific horror movie being referenced, they went generic here. Those horror movies of the 30s and 40s your guide mentions were primarily Universal movies (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Mummy, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, etc.). So as you can imagine, their theme park competitor isn't going to give them the rights to these instantly recognizable characters, which means they had to go generic.
Posted 12 February 2012 - 08:37 PM
Yet none of those feature the mummy like creatures featured in the ride. There has to be some kind of inspiration

Teachers vote to strike over pay
Teachers have voted to go on strike over the "erosion" of their pay and working conditions, it has been announced.
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) said its ballot of members had shown that 82.5% were in favour of walkouts, with a turnout of 27%.
Members also voted for industrial action short of strikes, with 91.6% in favour, the union said. The result raises the threat of huge disruption to schools later this term.
The NUT, which has previously balloted members over changes to public sector pensions, has warned of joint strikes with the NASUWT teachers' union The NASUWT already has a mandate to take industrial action over the same issues.
The NUT said the two unions will be campaigning together to "ensure that the onslaught of attacks on the teaching profession stops". Further details of the campaign will be set out on Monday.
NUT general secretary Christine Blower said: "The NUT is left with no option but to take action to protect the well-being of our members and restore their rights to do their job thoroughly and properly.
"Teachers are being undermined by a Government whose almost daily criticisms and erosion of working conditions and pay, coming on top of previous attacks on pensions, are unacceptable. This negative approach to the profession has to stop.
"No other profession comes under such continual scrutiny and no other profession has accountability systems based on so little trust. This is bound to lower morale. It is time for Government to stop dictating to teachers and address the problems which they are creating. It is time to listen to the profession."
Some 228,831 NUT members in state schools, academies and sixth-form colleges in England and Wales were balloted in total.
The ballot result follows a warning by the leader of the UK's biggest trade union of a fresh wave of co-ordinated strikes because of continuing anger over cuts to pay and pensions which was leading the country on a "path to poverty".

Bigelow: Torture scenes hard to see
Kathryn Bigelow has admitted the torture scenes in Zero Dark Thirty are not easy to watch, but stood by her decision to include them.
The Oscar-nominated film, starring Jessica Chastain as a CIA agent involved in the hunt for Osama bin Laden after the September 11 terrorist attacks, has sparked global debate for the controversial scenes of waterboarding and other torture techniques used on an Al Qaeda detainee.
Kathryn confessed: "As a human being I wanted to cover my eyes, but as a filmmaker, I felt a responsibility to document and bear witness. I think in a way it's a compliment to the film to stimulate such a vital conversation."
She added: "It's only disappointing when the film is mischaracterised."
Kathryn became the first woman to win an Oscar for best director in 2009 for her Iraq-based bomb disposal tale The Hurt Locker, but she insisted she doesn't set out to choose controversial subject matter.
"That's not, let's say, a reason to engage in a particular topic," she said. "What's interesting to me is the topicality of something. Certainly with The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, it's the fact these are stories that are almost contemporaneous with our lives.
"There's an urgency, a resonance and a topicality that, as a filmmaker, makes it very stimulating and exciting material to work with."
Kathryn also insisted she is not purposefully courting more awards.
"What I'm excited by is the fact the film is performing so well at the box office. There's such an outpouring of excitement for it, so that's really what's incredibly gratifying."
:: Zero Dark Thirty is in cinemas now.

The 32bit processes will be limited to a 4G address space *each* which is more than what you can get on a pure 32bit system. The 64bit processes will not have a limit that is meaningful at the current technology level (terabytes of ram) Recompiling your software in 64bit mode (which is the default, you can specify -m32 if you insist on 32bit executables) will make your software run faster: * 8 extra registers in 64bit mode can be used to toolchains advantage * improved calling conventions where function arguments are passed in registers and not on the stack. * fewer architectural instructions for the same source code. Code tends to stay within 10% of 32bit x86 code. Main reason for larger code is longer instructions. Number of instructions itself decreases by about 10%. Fewer instructions means faster execution. * usage of SSE2 unit for floatpoint arithmetic with flat 16 register file instead of x87 FPU with its cumbersome register stack. * bigger address space means less IO ops. * SuSE uses syscall (faster than int 0x80) instruction in kernel and libc).

Credit Unions Invited to Share Their HERO Stories
Got a good story to share about how your credit union is a HERO? Can you tell it in 200 words or less?
If so, it can help you win a free HERO Counseling service training for your entire staff, as well its certification and software solution from CU Strategic Planning in Tacoma, Wash., and the National Cooperative Business Association/Cooperative League of the United States of America in Washington, D.C.
The NCBA CLUSA is sponsoring the national Honor a HERO contest to provide a public venue for credit unions or their employees to share their compelling stories about helping their members, consumers, communities or causes.
This contest stems from the new HERO Counseling service, a Community Development Certified Financial Counseling course certified by the NCBA CLUSA. HERO Counseling is intended to help credit unions provide better financial guidance to their low-income communities.
"Over the years I've heard many stories about credit union employees and cooperatives that are heroes," said CU Strategic Planning founder Jamie Chase, whose company is donating the HERO software prize valued up to $500,000. "All they have to do is share their story now. They deserve to be recognized and honored. Our company is excited to donate a very valuable prize so that their whole cooperative benefits from their heroism."
In addition to the top winning prize, second and third runners-up will receive HERO Counseling training for their department or branch of choice.
"Credit unions' people first mission-based focus makes them a hero every day in people's lives," said CU Strategic Planning President Stacy Augustine. "This contest just recognizes the work that credit unions do for their members and their communities on a daily basis."
The deadline to submit stories is Aug. 24 and the form is online.

Crutchfield: Sony NEX E-Mount Cameras
Sony Alpha NEX-5R with 3X Zoom Lens - Front, straight-on, with touchscreen display flipped 180 degrees for self-portraits
Item # 158NEX5RKS | MFR # NEX5RK/S
This item is no longer available.
You're in charge of the corporate newsletter for your fledgling consultancy firm. Your boss has been bugging you for months about one thing: his byline picture features him before his summer health kick — twenty pounds heavier. He trusts your eye, so you grab your new Sony Alpha NEX-5R and take some portraits with nicely defocused backgrounds. Score! He loves the third one you took with the continuous shooting mode (a great trick for those whose pose isn't practiced). Time to engage one of the PlayMemories photo retouching apps you downloaded straight to the camera to add a little punch to the shot. Then you use the built-in Wi-Fi® sharing to send it to your company server, your graphic designer and your boss's iPad®, and another job is off your punch list. Total time expended? Five minutes, max. Can a promotion and a little vacation time be far off?
This is just one of the many ways that the NEX-5R might be able to make your life a little easier. With all of the features that have made Sony's entire line of NEX hybrid cameras so popular, it's sure to be a winner from the start. But consider the refinements that have been added to the '5R: a class-leading hybrid autofocus system that combines the best aspects of phase-detection and contrast-detection for improved tracking of your subjects in space. A 180-degree, flippable LCD touchscreen that makes self-portraits a piece of cake (just touch the touchscreen). And, best of all, Wi-Fi capability, for enhanced sharing and camera control from devices like your smartphone or tablet.
This Wi-Fi capability adds another bonus. Like your smartphone, your NEX-5R can download apps that can make your camera even more useful. Imagine doing retouching on your touchscreen, or using your tablet as a remote viewer/controller for your camera. Features like this can make you a director and your movie's star simultaneously. Don't let one member of the family (yourself) be invisible anymore.
This camera comes bundled with a versatile, day-in, day-out 18-55mm zoom lens that's perfect for the challenges of everyday shooting. With an approximate 3X zoom range, this lens will do nicely for portraits, and still be wide enough to fit the gang from work into the company picnic group shot. The zoom is quiet and efficient, helping you to compose a dynamic shot on the fly.
Professional touches, borrowed from the top-of the-line NEX-7 complete the package. Sensibly placed function buttons and control dials complement the versatile touchscreen so you'll always be ready for the next shot in seconds. They're so intuitive, you'll be adjusting for the shot in front of you rather than looking at menus.
This camera has it all! You can shoot fully auto or go manual! Great for a beginner who wants to learn about cameras and you will not have to invest in a higher model because this Sony nex 5r will do it all!

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Sony's NEX cameras combine a large, DSLR-sized image sensor with a small body that makes it easy to carry. Attach your choice of E-mount lenses to get the best shots.
There's a lot to like about the Alpha NEX-5R, but what struck me right out of the box was how easy it was to take a self-portrait. Now, that might seem a little egotistical, but just think how often you want a shot of you and your friends together to share online.
How can you be sure you've got the shot? With the NEX-5R its easy. The touchscreen display flips up so you can see exactly what the camera does. And what I really like is that the controls are built to be operated either from the back or the front of the camera.
You can adjust the focus by dialing the control wheel in the back not good if you're pointing the camera at yourself. But there's a knob on the top of the camera that serves the same function. So I could point the camera at myself (and friends), adjust the focus, and take the shot. And what the camera snapped was exactly what I saw in the display. Very nice!

Buehrle never dreamed of perfection
White Sox lefty shocked that he's thrown two no-hitters
By David Just / MLB.com
It's been a stellar season for Buehrle, who also pitched a scoreless inning in the All-Star Game on July 14 and smacked his first career home run on June 14 against the Brewers. Not to mention that Thursday's perfect game was the second no-hitter of his career.
And Buehrle can't believe it.
"I still can't," he said. "I mean, the no-hitter, I don't know how to explain it. I never thought I'd throw a no-hitter, I never thought I'd throw a perfect game, I never thought I'd hit a home run. Never say never in this game because crazy stuff can happen."
Randy Johnson is the only other active Major Leaguer to have thrown multiple no-hitters, and he became the 24th pitcher to do so. The Big Unit was also the last pitcher to throw a perfect game, which he did back on May 18, 2004, for the Diamondbacks.
"I was just trying to take it one batter at a time, pitch by pitch," Buehrle said. "I think if you start thinking about that, telling yourself you have a no-hitter, perfect game, whatever, you're going to worry about messing up a pitch or making a mistake. Just go out there and try not to think about it, have fun."
Thursday was the third time Buehrle faced the minimum number of batters in a game, and the 48th time in his career that he retired 10 or more batters in a row.
While a perfect game is arguably the best achievement a pitcher can reach, Buehrle ranks his Thursday start behind the team's 2005 World Series, in terms of career goals.
"Obviously the World Series is the ultimate goal," Buehrle said. "That's going to be up on top. On a personal [level], I've always said I want to win a Gold Glove, because I take pride in my defense. But a perfect game, no-hitter, I don't even know if I ranked those in the top five because I didn't think they would ever happen. But they rank right up there as far as personal goals.
"I keep on saying I'm never going to say never in this game, because I've said it plenty of times and I've done a lot of stuff I never thought I'd do. But this wasn't even thought of in the back of my mind -- throwing a perfect game -- because I didn't think it would ever happen."

This is the inversion chair that avoids placing stress on the hips or knees, unlike other models that tug and pull on joints. Helping to alleviate back pain by decompressing the spine, inversion therapy relieves pressure on nerves and realigns the ligaments that support the back. The chair provides a maximum inversion angle of 70� while you are held safely in-place by a lap belt, placing the knees above the hip flexors in a more ergonomic position that eliminates the need to hang completely upside down by the ankles, resulting in less stress on the knees and hips. The chair also enables you to perform a variety of back-strengthening exercises, such as crunches, oblique crunches, and v-ups. The padded handlebars, chair's backrest, knee, and ankle supports adjust for comfort. Its durable powder-coated steel frame supports up to 300 lbs. Assembly required. 61" L x 28" W x 52" H. (58 lbs.)

I think Fiora was the figure standing in the center of the screen with desturction before her
Hey, they made a movie version of Smallville!
Anyhoo, watching the new Superman trailer is like being punched in the face repeatedly by a man screaming, "SUPERMAN IS CHRIST!"
The footage looks amazing, but I'm afraid the music just didn't work for me this time. Especially compared to the powerful comic con version.
Still though, can't wait to see this.
Haha no wonder.
I got that vibe also on the bus scene...
I've been mildly curious to see what angle they can take with this character, but this doesn't seem like a direction that's going to work for them. Too whiney and emo, tha may work okay on a CW show, but summer popcorn movie audiences are looking for FUN!
Also, why is Supes afraid that people will hate him for being a superpowered alien? Thor is a superpowered alien, and humanity doesn't seem upset or angry about his presence on Earth in a couple of movies now.
Yeah I know, DC vs Marvel, but the audience won't make a distinction because they neither know nor care. Thor is a fun, crowd-pleasing character. Imagine if they made him whiney and emo instead. Avoiding that is probably why they ditched the Don Blake angle.
Well the first shot is him with his arms wide like a crucifix.
My friend said that this trailer is a work of art, and is better than the STiD trailer.
First it's longer. The Trek trailer was a minute, just to announce the film. Secondly, reading into it a little, one of the things I've always liked about Trek was the idea that the peaceful future was an illusion. But only a few episodes have ever really hit that theme, and I believe it's far more interesting than most superhero tropes. By contrast, this trailer hits upon the same themes that the other superman films have hit, though I'm glad they are not dovetailing Donner. Even still, it feels like the same Passion of The Clark ideals that bogged down Returns, new aesthetic or not.
This is what the trailer tells me:
* Dad tells him to keep his identity a secret, he doesn't listen.
* Eventually pays the price of not listening to dad, leads to his being arrested just as Zod and Co appear on Earth.
* Escapes, defeats Zod and Co, goes back in time, (him with the beard watching his younger self disobey dad) to prevent previous timeline.
* Film ends with successful timeline alterations, setting up sequel in which adult Clark Kent has job at Daily Planet as if nothing ever happened.
That look about right?
^ Not really.
Wow, this looks awesome.
Young Clark won the Science Fair project with Wyoming's Devil's Tower?!
That's a relief.
You mean like The Dark Knight Rises, this years second highest-grossing movie wich opened in the middle of July?
This trailer blew me away. Best trailer of 2012 for me. Some stunning images, like the shot from behind with the flowing cape.
I'm really liking the more mythical yet somber approach to the material.
I was not anticipating this before, but they've sold me now. (And this is coming from someone who is not a big Superman fan, although I have seen all the films)
It's actually a sequel to Gladiator. Russell Crowe's Maximus character ascended to Krypton after his death and changed his name to Jor-El.
Yeah it is somewhat surprising they're going for another dark and moody Superman, after the poor reception SR got.
But the clear difference this time is that they're also making it really huge and EPIC, with tons of intense action to balance out the somberness.
That's what SR was lacking, and why I believe people ultimately didn't respond to it.
It looks like Superman done in The Dark Knight mold, and Christopher Nolan's name is prominently attached to it. People will go to see this.
After the excellent cinematography of The Dark Knight trilogy, and the nicer looking comic book films out there lately, the shaky cam handheld images here are pretty ugly.
Superman Returns wasn't dark and moody, it was emo and boring.
I really do not expect this to be dark and moody like the Batman series. Yes, I know Nolan has been attached to both, I just don't think it will be as dark. I do give the benefit of a doub that Nolan and Snyder know the difference between Batman and Superman. I am thinking we will get a movie that has a serious tone but is also fun.
Batman was serious and well told but fun is not a word I would use to describe it.

This 2-CD compilation collects various outtakes and demos from 1994-97, the early years of Elliott's solo career, with nearly all of them being previously unreleased. These types of posthumous releases usually just dredge up subpar recordings that weren't released before for good reason, but Smith was one special songwriter, and most of the songs here would've fit just fine on his official albums from that era. Far from being a cynical cash-in, New Moon is a welcome addition to Smith's catalog. 4/25/2007 - Don Yates

Trevor, while there are some brands of brick mozzarella that can be problematic, Walmart is not one of them. Cheese problems such as this are almost never a result of a particular cheese brand but of the way the cheese is treated and thermodynamics.Are you grating the cheese with the right level of coarseness? It's absolutely critical that you use this side of the grater- no bigger, no smaller:http://img4.cookinglight.com/i/Oxmoor/oh-complete-p12e-box-grater-l.jpg?400:400Are you baking the pizza in 5 minutes or less? Long bakes can be really hard on cheese and can promote top browning.Are you using a small enough thickness factor? For NY style, .075 is as high as you want to go- the less dough there is under the cheese, the more heat the cheese gets from below, the more the cheese will bubble- when cheese bubbles, it browns much slower, because you have moisture from the bottom being driven to the surface.Lastly, did you read my response to Bill in the thread you posted?http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13599.msg135741.html#msg135741In it, I address sauce consistency/quantity (you really need to standardize the consistency and use the same amount of sauce every time) as well as the potential helpfulness of additional fat.Btw, you are using the cheese fairly quickly after you purchase it, correct? Within a week? Older cheese will usually have a higher propensity for curdling, but I wouldn't write off the possibility of excessive browning issues either.
Trevor, Dave brings up some good points. When I talk about Walmart cheese not being problematic, it's within the context of supermarket cheeses. When you get into commercial cheeses (such as Grande), they melt far better, so that's why your take home skin was so successful.When you get into supermarket cheese, I don't see the differences being that dramatic, especially since supermarket brick mozz can vary so much seasonally. Sorrento is consistently better than Walmart, so if you can find that, it might be worth a shot, but, honestly, I'm not sure I'd pay double for it. I would probably pay double for Grande (once in a while) because that's a night and day difference, but Sorrento and Walmart are pretty close.The consistency and quantity of the sauce greatly define how the cheese cooks. A little more water in the sauce, a little less, more sauce overall, less, and you're looking an entirely different pizza. The differences are surprisingly dramatic. It took me years to dial in my sauce consistency and quantity and I still haven't completely nailed it. Sauce contains water and water takes a lot of energy to boil. The more sauce you have, the longer it takes to boil, the less heat makes it to the bottom of the cheese, the less bubbling. The sauce needs to be wet enough to boil and encourage bubbling, but you shouldn't have too much of it.Everyone, these days, lives pretty close to a Walmart, and, from my experience, I've never seen their mozz go on sale, so, from my perspective, I don't think there's an advantage to freezing it. I would just buy it when you need it and use it within 2 weeks.The grater in the photo is your typical garden variety box grater. It usually has a fine hard cheese side, a fine soft cheese side, a coarse soft cheese side and a slicing side. You should be using the coarse soft cheese side (as shown). You might find one or two NY pizzerias slicing rather than grating, but it's only a very small number - maybe 1 in 1000.
I use 6 in 1's straight out of the can puree and all. I heat them on the stove top (not long enough to cook or reduce) and I ladle it onto the skin while its slightly steaming. Should I perhaps let this sauce reduce a little?

Happy birthday, Morton's!
The whole Morton family gathered Thursday, Nov. 5, at their neighborhood market to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The family, surrounded by employees and friends, talked about 40 years in the business and enjoyed a beautiful cake with supporters, including their first customer, Fran Dietz. Patriarch Ted Morton was in attendance as well, despite a recent stay in the hospital.
"We have been so successful due to our great customer base and employees," Eddie Morton said. "We have another generation coming, so we're ready for 40 more years."
Reveling in the success of the family-owned business was son and co-owner, Todd Morton: "We have been successful in keeping a good balance of keeping with tradition and keeping up with the trends."
Morton's Gourmet Market will be keeping the 40th anniversary celebration going for the next week and will host its annual "Holiday Affair" from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11. Chefs will be serving holiday treats and vendors will be displaying items sold around the holidays. Tickets are $5, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting All Faiths Food Bank.

MCLA begins $15 million renovation of Bowman Hall
Photo Gallery | Renovation of Bowman Hall underway at MCLA
NORTH ADAMS -- A $15 million renovation is underway on Bowman Hall at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, with officials expecting the building to be completed by June 2015.
"What's magical about a renovation like this is everything gets some attention," said James Stakenas, vice president of administration and finance. "We'll have new windows, an elevator, more efficient heating and cooling. ... It's magical because it will look and smell like new when we walk in the door."
The overhaul of the 60,000-square-foot building, which opened in 1970, is funded by the same $54 million construction bond which created the college's new Center for Science and Innovation. That 65,000-square-foot building opened last fall between Blackinton and Porter streets.
Construction on Bowman began at the end of June, with Eastern General Constructors, Inc. of Springfield serving as the general contractor. Local subcontractors also serve on the project.
The building will house the college's mathematics and computer science departments, Stakenas said, as well as visual arts and a robotics lab. The college's vice president of academic affairs and dean of undergraduate affairs will be moved from the President's House at 87 Blackinton St. to Bowman.
The renovation calls for installation of modern, energy-efficient components including light fixtures and windows, Stakenas said, as well as air conditioning.
The administration is in talks with faculty about what technology will be in classroom space, Stakenas said.
"We're talking about installing plasma or LED screens in the front of classrooms, as opposed to a projector," he said. "The cost has come down remarkably, and clarity is significantly sharper. ... Some of the faculty are very excited about that as a possibility."
The most drastic change, Stakenas said, will be the removal of the two lecture halls on the north end of the building's lowest level.
"It's impossible to make those multiple-step spaces handicap accessible," he explained.
A hallway on the lowest level will be extended, he said, for additional classrooms, a computer science lab, and a faculty center.
Two open "holes" on the quad level and second floor will be filled in, he said. A new vestibule on the quad level will act as a buffer from the outside elements, such as extreme cold, heat and leaves.
In addition, an art gallery is anticipated for the quad level.
The renovation meant finding other spaces for instruction -- painting and drawing classes were moved to Mass MoCA's Building 13 last year to accommodate for preconstruction and will remain through the renovation, Stakenas said.
Former biology labs in Venable Hall already had been decommissioned and turned into general classrooms with the opening of the science center, Stakenas said. Additional classrooms were found in conference rooms in Murdock and office space in the Church Street Center.
Once Bowman is completed, the college will turn its attention to Venable, Stakenas said.
"We're looking at the top floor of Venable for more student space -- more dance areas, possibly a larger fitness center, and student programming," he said. "Students are taking advantage of all of the space on campus that's available, and we'd like to provide more for activities."
