''The TV show Defiance has recently hit Syfy channel after months of hype. While it may look like yet another run of the mill sci-fi show, it's relationship with it's licensed video game is what makes it stand out….sort of.
The video game itself released a few weeks back, in a bit of a messy manner. The MMO has been marketed as a link between television and video games in one neat bundle. The events of the TV show will be reflected in the game and vice versa. We've been covering the our experiences within Defiance (the video game that is) in a number of pieces, which can be found here. The general feeling on the game is that it's rather bare bones, maybe even rushed. A number of theories could be chosen as to why the game may have been rushed to the market. The most likely reason would be for the game to be launched in time for the premier of the show.''
Did anyone like the show? it all seems to be rather 'meh' reactions from people
The show had some high points, but it needs to get a lot better real fast. Hopefully the main character turns into something other than charming older guy that is hard as nail on the outside, but has a heart of gold. I get what they are doing, the problem is that it is kind of bland. If done right though this could reach Farscape level of good. Only time will tell, regardless the game is really fun despite what most reviewers are saying.
When will people learn to proof-read their writing before submitting it to the masses? Don't they want to save themselves the embarrassment of incompetence and stupidity?
Funny how the connection to the game and show is shown right at the beginning of the show. I guess that crystal that Nolan had wasn't in the game and how the Episode Mission of them leaving San Fran had nothing to do with it after stealing it off Varus (Spelled his name wrong whatever). Yet lets also not forget that episode one gives a great idea on future content. Races, New Enemies, Weapons and hell even Vehicles we will be using as well. So the connection while they were a little weak in the first episode. It's a great taste of things to come for us who the play the game.

I would not be in this excellent position today without a2z. They address every problem and I consider them partners and friends. They want us to have the best outcome possible.
a2z is great to work with. They have a professional, dedicated staff, many of whom have been show organizers, so they understand our perspective and challenges. People are as important as the technology solutions. Without the a2z team, we wouldn't have had the success we enjoyed.

a2z is great to work with. They have a professional, dedicated staff, many of whom have been show organizers, so they understand our perspective and challenges. People are as important as the technology solutions. Without the a2z team, we wouldn't have had the success we enjoyed.
Hanley Wood Exhibitions, the building industry's leading exhibition company, has sold the ownership rights of its ADAPT! database system to a2z, Inc., a web-based software provider that serves event planners and organizers with products that help increase and accelerate booth sales. The change in ownership was effective as of Friday, September 14, 2007.
ADAPT! (A Database Analyzer & Prospecting Tool) is a data management system that allows users to access historical and up-to-the-minute registration and prospect information. ADAPT! will be incorporated into the a2z suite of products as a new module.
"In the past, only large Associations and Trade Show organizers have had the ability to utilize a powerful tool like ADAPT!," says Shawn Pierce, Director, Hanley Wood Exhibitions. "a2z will bring the attendance building power of ADAPT! to help create an advantage for a2z's growing client base."
"Every event relies on robust attendee promotion to create greater networking and business opportunities for members and exhibitors," says Rajiv Jain, CEO, a2z. "ADAPT! is a natural compliment to a2z's matchmaking solution, a2zNetZone. Together, these solutions will help our clients to more economically promote and grow attendance, while also improving the relevance and personal customization of the event through matchmaking recommendations and tools."
ADAPT! was developed by Hanley Wood Exhibitions in 2001 to manage and market to its events' attendees and prospects. The system was regularly updated to provide event managers the tools necessary to control their databases for maximum results. More than 75 events, most of which are in the Tradeshow Week 200, now benefit from the system, which is being used across the United States, Australia and Mexico.
Key features of ADAPT! include the ability to create targeted lists (mail, fax, phone and e-mail) for segmented promotion, automatic removal of duplicate records and current registrants, the option to generate revenue by renting targeted lists, streamlined fulfillment processes, access to real-time reports and much, much more.

Zoning map, districts, and regulations
Zoning sets out how property can be used and developed according to neighbourhood and citywide goals and visions.
Zoning determines what is:
- Allowed, for example, helping ensure a heritage neighbourhood maintains its unique and historical character
- Encouraged, for example, encouraging new buildings and renovations that are sustainable for the long-term
- Not allowed, for example, prohibiting an industrial manufacturing plant from being built in a residential neighbourhood
Vancouver is made up of many zoning districts. Some are scattered across the city, while others are found only in a single neighbourhood or local area. Each district has its own bylaws and schedules that dictate:
- Our intent for what the zone is meant to achieve
- Land use regulations (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and so on)
- Design considerations (building size, density, height, setbacks, floor area, landscaping, and so on)
Some zoning districts may also:
- Have accompanying Council-approved guidelines for development applications
- Be governed by an official development plan (ODP), planning policy, or bylaw (for example, parking and loading requirements)

The Scorpion Expedition
I remember reminiscing with my father when we were able to catch up after I had been on some recent fishing adventures, it always involved him chewing on a swisher sweet, relaxing in a chair with a diet coke and looking at me in that fatherly way, "So where have you been" "how big where the fish" "would you go back" I wish I had the opportunity to sit down with the old man another time and tell him about this one……………The Scorpion Expedition was one of the best adventures I have ever been a part of. First there was the crew, RA Beattie, Sandflea, Jose "Careto" from Punta Allen, Bear Holeman, Perk Perkins, and Ryan Buccola from Bend. I was honored to be a part of this crew and can honestly say I have never been a part of a crew that went on an exploration and got along the way we did, it was special
The Scorpion Expedition will be released on the Fly Fishing Film Tour in 2013
Then there was the place, the natural beauty of the Scorpion Reef cannot be expressed in words, it is as if someone dropped the Seychelles in the Gulf of Mexico, here are a couple of scenes from the reef………. (all Pictures were taken by RA Beattie)
Then there was the fishing which was just a bonus to an extraordinary exploration, plenty of more to come on this one………………………………
A special thank you to ORVIS for making this expedition happen, they were instrumental, along with our other sponsors: Yeti Coolers, Pescadowear, WorldCast Anglers, Breedlove Guitars, Chums, Maya Solar, Nu Cast, Montana Fly Company, Howler Bros………………THANK YOU
More to come…………………………..

I absolutely love the quilting, Jenn. Gorgeous! I'm glad you'll just pop in here and there. Better than not seeing you at all. I'm thinking today about the problem of over-inspiration. Maybe will post about it...

Jenn, I made that detergent yesterday and washed two loads with it today. LOVE IT! I saw an update on the blog it was originally posted on where some people said it faded their clothes really fast. Hoping that doesn't happen to me...the lady who posted about it originally said she'd been using it for 3 months and didn't have that problem, so who knows. Anyway..so far, so good. :)

And I love those mermaids. Oh, Heather Ross.
I know how you feel about blogging too. I'm soaking up creativity rather than spewing it out. I think I'm okay with that for the time being although I do hope my productivity returns soon. By the way, I love the new Spring header, the purple and yellow :)

Jenn, the quilt came out SOOOooo cute! I loved the variety of stitches... clever! Hoping some day I'll have a machine that allows free motion like yours :)
I've been wanting to try the laundry soap recipe and bought 1/2 the ingredients so far. If you see another recipe you want to try and don't want to buy all the ingredients we could get together and split the cost for the "trial" of the recipe. Does that make sense?
Glad to see you back on - and kudos for getting your garden started - jealous!... and so encouraged to see all that you accomplish - it pushes me - so thanks :)

According to the plan, a Progress resupply ship will be launched to Mir and automatically dock with the station. Rocket engines aboard that Progress will be used to send Mir diving into Earth's atmosphere to burn up, aiming any surviving debris toward an open area of the South Pacific. The final plunge is targeted for some time between February 26 and 28. The Progress launch is expected in mid January. The spacecraft is scheduled to be shipped from its factory near Moscow to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan by the end of this week. However, if Mir's on-board computer malfunctions, or if the automated Progress spacecraft does not properly dock to the station, a crew of two cosmonauts will be scrambled to Mir to manually set the station on its crash-dive. For such an eventuality, a Soyuz TM-32 spacecraft is available at Baikonur. Slated to pull the plug on Mir are mission commander Salizhan Sharipov and flight engineer Pavel Vinogradov. The backup crew is Talgat Musabayev (mission commander) and Yuri Baturin (cosmonaut-researcher). Although the plan seems final, there are still folks actively seeking a reprieve of the station's death sentence. "As long as Russia has its own space station, it will remain a great space power," said V.I. Bodyakin, a researcher at the Institute for the Study of Management. To extend Mir's life, Bodyakin offered to equip Mir with ion-powered rocket engines and move it to lunar orbit in order to use the station as a transit outpost during flights to distant planets in the solar system. He also proposed that some Eurasian countries, such as China and India, might assist in the continued operation of Mir. Another reaction comes from V.M. Vishnyakov, deputy chairman of the People's Charity Fund for the Preservation of the Mir Space Station. Vishnyakov advocates limiting Russia's participation in the International Space Station (ISS) program and diverting those funds to keep Mir operational through 2005. After that, Russia could concentrate on designing and building its own orbital outpost. ---- Via the sarex mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Mortal Kombat Deception
Mortal Kombat is back, and this time around it includes a plethora of extra content aside from the regular butt-kicking action. These features include an action/strategy puzzle game, free roaming Konquest mode and online competition. Fatalities are also back with a vengeance and will involve level specific environmental blood-baths. Deception will be available for the PlayStaion 2 and Xbox in fall of this year.
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
Agent Nick Scryer does battle with a psychically gifted terrorist organization using his own mind-powers including mind control, remote viewing, telekinesis, and pyrokinesis. This first person action game is right over the horizon and Midway will be showing off a near final version on the show floor. The game will be available for Xbox and PlayStation 2 on June 14.
Other titles being featured at the show include:

It's All Fun And Games….
Have you ever opened the door to the fridge in your office only to find something you planned on eating with a bite taken out of it, or worse, gone all together? That happened to me with a bottle of milk about two years ago. I wrote an email about it, and this morning, the guy who make the most fun of me left his sammich in the fridge!
I should have held it hostage. But no, I decided to be an adult and just take a picture of his note and revisit a similar note I left after a number of milk snatchings drove me to vent. Feel free to print and use at your office!

8 September 2001
You take for granted the second efforts of modern footballers these days. But then James Hird has raised to high art a third and fourth efforts in the one passage of play. What what about the second effort football career? When you look at blokes that have recreated themselves from reserves midfielder to premiership medal one name sticks out. James Thiessen.
James had the all the attributes for a glittering AFL career. His father was Tony Thiessen who had 7 games with Melbourne in 1963, 13 at Carlton in 1964 and 4 for North during '65. At Brentwood on the cusp of Glen Waverley the young fellow was a speedy winger. Had balance and could keep his feet in a contest. In 1992 it was automatic as a gear change that he would go to Punt Road. Played some decent reserves footy. The Tigers then drafted JT with 1993 mid season pick 2. He wore the number 46 jumper used by Ray Orchard in the late sixties.
Thiessen was 180 centimetres tall. The digital scales stopped at 80 kilograms. The 19 year old kid made his senior debut in 1993. Started on the bench. When he came on he had an impact. Tapped the ball over a Collingwood opponent into the path of Naishy who popped through a full pointer. SOT; Son of Tony made six more appearances in the ones that season. These were punctuated by steady form in the rezzies.
For reasons harder to fathom than a Chinese comic book Richmond dropped Thiessen off their list at the end of '93. Perhaps salary cap pressures. James was determined to have another crack at senior action. Headed over the border to Norwood in the SANFL. Best thing to hit the Parade since Damien Nygaard. The former Tiger played 44 scintillating games before putting himself in the 1997 draft. The Crows selected the J boy with national draft pick 33. He took over the number 29 jumper vacated by Anthony Ingerson. If image changes have prolonged the careers of Madonna and Geri Halliwell they are nothing compared with the makeover of confidence for James Thiessen. It all happened in 1998. For a winger the T man had a refined goal sense. Round 4 versus Geelong at FooPark. Late in the last he ran hard at the ball gathered on the half volley and calmly drove through the major. An Adelaide win 12.15 to 8.13.
The night game against Essendon. Round 12. At a tense moment 20 minutes into the third term Thiessen moving at full bore received a skimming pass from Goodwin without breaking stride. He closed to 55 and kicked at the tall timbers. The goal umpire adopted a question mark posture before raising the dual digits. Crows won a gripping encounter 15.18 to 15.16. James booted a goal from the edge of the centre square in round 14 v. Sydney at the SCG. An Adelaide victory. 18.16 to 12.15.
The 1998 grand final against the Kangaroos. Thiessen played a disciplined game. In the dying moments of the opening stanza a disguised kick around the corner set up a Ricciuto goal. And 2 minutes into the last JT grabbed the ball in the midfield, ran his full measure and under no pressure goaled from 45. This destroyed any hope of a Kangaroo revival. The crowning achievement was Thiessen receiving his premiership medal and with his team mates doing a lap of honour with the cup.
Jamo started 1999 in fine style. Then he suffered an ankle injury. Returned via Norwood but found it harder than ironbark to break back into the Adelaide side. The Crows dropped number 29 off their list at the end of 2000. 50 games for 24 goals.
James Thiessen changed himself to scale the ultimate. mountain.

Conservative MP under fire for barring Liberal MP from attending charity event in Israel
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Tuesday, February 25, 2014 5:21PM EST
Last Updated Tuesday, February 25, 2014 11:27PM EST
Conservative MP Mark Adler avoided questions Tuesday about why he barred Liberal MP Irwin Cotler from an event he co-hosted with an Israeli charity during Prime Minister Stephen Harper's recent trip to Israel.
Sources confirmed to CTV News that Cotler, an internationally-recognized human rights lawyer and activist, was not allowed to attend the event held last month in Tel Aviv. Cotler was not part of Harper's delegation, but was in Israel at the time for a conference.
When Adler was asked directly by CTV News if he didn't allow Cotler to attend the event, he did not answer the question.
"You know what guys, I'm here for my private member's bill, I'm really trying to focus on that," he said, just before speaking at a parliamentary hearing into his bill aimed at exposing potential partisanship in offices, such as the Auditor's General or Elections Canada.
As reporters continued to press Adler, one of his aides handed him a cellphone and he began talking into it as reporters stood behind him with recorders and cameras. He then turned and walked to another side of the room, still talking on the phone, with reporters following suit. Less than a minute later, Adler walked out of the committee room, flanked by two staff members, with the cellphone still to his ear.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Cotler's office said Tuesday that the Montreal MP had no comment about the incident.
"Mr. Cotler has no comment on this or any other matter that would detract or deflect away from his ongoing advocacy on behalf of political prisoners abroad, or from his human rights initiatives here in Parliament," spokesperson Michael Milech said in an email.
Cotler is currently in Switzerland where he was expected to deliver the opening address at the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy.
Cotler has spoken out strongly against the rising criticism of Israel as a new form of anti-Semitism. Harper, a staunch defender of Israel, drew from Cotler's writings during a speech he gave to the Israeli parliament during his visit to the Middle East.
Leaders from the Canadian Jewish community criticized Adler for not allowing Cotler to attend the event.
"I think the only thing that now will stand in people's minds is the refusal to allow Mr. Cotler to join and walk into the room, which was a sad mistake," Frank Dimant, the CEO of B'nai Brith Canada, told CTV News.
The Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday did not say whether it would ask Adler to apologize. It did say the event was not part of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's official program in Israel, and that the prime minister had no role in the event.
Adler had caused a stir during the Israel trip when he was caught on camera pleading to get in a "million-dollar shot" with Harper while the Prime Minister visited a sacred site in Jerusalem. He later called the request a "tongue-in-cheek" joke.

Do that right now, because by Saturday it will be too late.
I'll be on one of the panels, "Is Blogging Good for Writers?" next Saturday, October 29. (My answer to that question, by the way, might surprise some of you.) My editor, Steeple Hill's Krista Stroever, will participate in a panel discussion on Wednesday. And more than 50 other writers will be involved in more workshops and panel discussions that I was in the mood to count this morning, so it looks like there will be something for everybody.

Celebrity Fashion Trend: Yellow Dresses— May 27, 2015
They call it Mellow Yellow…Quite Rightly!
The 'Yellow Trend' has taken off, and it's just in time for the summer. So much so, that the self-proclaimed 'world-renowned authority' on colour, Pantone has named one of its newest shades 'Minion Yellow' after the much-loved 'Despicable me' characters.
Predicted by Fashion weeks of Autumn and Winter passed, the trend crept in during the mid-Winter months using the Golden Globes and Oscars as a prelude for what's to come.
And sure enough, every item from Winter Raincoats to Summery Stilettos has a touch of Yellow; however it seems that 'the Dress' has stepped out and shone the brightest. This pop of colour is the much needed vitamin that fashionistas all over, need for the months ahead.
Now, I know what you're thinking 'No, I can't wear Yellow! It doesn't suit me.' Do not fear, because below are 6 ways for you to pull off the Yellow Trend look.
- Lighten Up
If you are extremely apprehensive about stepping out with Yellow, start with a paler tone such as primrose, eggshell or butter. This allows you the satisfaction of dipping your toe in the water before actually diving in. Also, if you find that you are of a paler tone in general, this would probably be best as it would complement your features and is less likely to clash. As for styles, it would be best to stick with vintage 50/60s shift, embroidered or embellished flowing maxi styles.
2. Take it up a Notch
Once you've gained some confidence, you can graduate to bolder yellows! Bright, sunshine and lemon Yellows, particularly on Jersey style dresses reflect and shimmer in the Sun. Coupled with wrap or draped textures, this attracts attention to the illusion of movement on the dress and your boost in confidence *wink wink*. You can't go wrong!
3. Mix it up
So now we have a grip on some staple yellow tones, we have the confidence to mix and match. Pairing black with yellow, brings some contrast to the look and breaks up the boldness of the tone. This Look would particularly suit you if you have dark hair and eyes. Try bandeau or halter neck maxis with a colour block look and sandals. Alternatively, you can match a wide waist belt and wedges for that perfect day to night look!
4. Borderline Lime
This takes not only takes confidence, but a big gulp of bravery. You guessed it, Yellow so bright it's almost lime…or orange. That's right! You were born to wear daringly, bold tones. There's no correct way to wear this look, just go for it!
5. Blissful Prints
Prints are a great alternative to solid of block colour patterns. Furthermore, they provide the flexibility of a more traditional solid colour underneath a bold and distinguishable pattern. Jersey or chiffon textures would help lift the pattern, whilst also complementing the shape of the dress. Although anyone could pull off patterns, those with a cooler complexion would serve this look just what's needed.
6. Go for Gold
If you are thinking by now 'I don't fit into any of these ', don't worry. You most likely have soft features or there is not much distinction between your hair, eyes and skin tone; which means that you kind of blend in. Here's the remedy, Gold. Yes, this precious metal hue is great at embracing complementary tones and attracting the attention to your figure. This look is especially great for Evening gowns and cocktail dresses.
So now you know how to pull of this trend, which look will you pick to twirl down that Yellow Brick road?

In the show business world before modern broadcasting, Vaudeville was the source of live entertainment that brought singers, dancers and comics on a daily basis to communities from Manhattan to Spokane.
Among the thousands of jugglers, ventriloquists and voice impressionists who trod those well-worn stages, most would disappear into history with the advent of talking pictures and radio. But a few, such as the great Al Jolson, Fanny Brice and the comedy team of George Burns and Gracie Allen would catapult to the pinnacle of modern-day stardom.
One of the most unlikely candidates for pop culture immortality, the orphaned son of Russian immigrants from the lower East Side of New York City, turned out to be one of show business's longest-running stars. Isidore Iskowitz, his name transmogrified to a more marquee-friendly Eddie Cantor, graduated from Vaudeville to become an internationally famous singer, actor, comic and all-around entertainer.
Known as "Banjo Eyes," the pop-eyed Cantor would dance across the stage during his numbers, comically rolling his eyes at lyrical double entendres. From humble beginnings, Cantor would rise through the golden age of radio to become one of America's greatest entertainers and the second most recognized voice in the nation next to that of the president.
During his more than 50 years in show business, Cantor became star of Broadway shows and Hollywood movies, a recording artist, radio and television pioneer and best-selling author to name but a few of the fields he conquered.
Even today many of Cantor's hit songs – Whoopie, If You Knew Suzie, Margie, and Ida (Sweet as Apple Cider) – are considered durable standards.
But living a hand-to-mouth existence in his grandmother's basement apartment on Henry Street around the turn of the 20th century, the young Eddie filched fruit from pushcarts and sang in local taverns to hone his talent.
"It wasn't an easy life," says his grandson Brian Gari.
Cantor's hard-knocks upbringing didn't dampen his essentially optimistic outlook and fundamentally good nature.
"He was just a funny, very nice guy," says Gari who remembers his grandfather playing kid games with him as a youngster. "He'd take a coin, make it disappear into one of your ears and reappear out the other, that kind of thing."
Cantor's show business apprenticeship was rife with memorable acquaintanceships and mentors. Landing a job as a singing waiter at a Coney Island saloon, Cantor became fast friends with the piano player: none other than Jimmy Durante. Later he fell in with the cast of Kid Kabaret, a virtual training school for stars-in-the-making headed by producer and talent scout Gus Edwards.
By the early 1920s, Cantor's wide-eyed talent had come to the attention of Broadway producer Florenz Ziegfeld, who quickly promoted Eddie to the Ziegfeld Follies. He became its star. Their 1927 musical collaboration "Whoopie," with songs by Walter Donaldson, gave Cantor his most memorable hit.
Cantor's development as a stage talent brought him into close contact with all of the show business greats of his generation including W.C. Fields, Jolson, Sophie Tucker and Will Rogers. Over the course of several decades, he would surpass them all in the sheer scope of his accomplishments.
Cantor was frequently at his best recounting stories of showbiz and the road. Once, while touring with the Follies in Boston, roommate W.C. Fields produced two bottles of champagne and suggested a toast to the younger showman's health.
"We drank to my health until we darned near ruined it," Cantor said.
And later, when the dram-loving Fields confessed his doctor had warned he might lose his hearing if he didn't quit alcohol:
"You are going to stop, aren't you Bill?"
"No, I don't think soooo. You see the things I've been drinking are so much better than the things I've been hearing."
In Hollywood, Cantor capitalized on his stage mastery to star in a number of madcap vehicles ranging from a movie version of "Whoopie" to "Roman Scandals" and "Ali Baba Goes to Town." On radio, he would cash in on his stage, movie and record persona to host a string of popular programs.
Cantor's personal life, thanks to his radio exposure almost as well known as his records and films, was equally colorful.
Eddie Cantor Memorabilia Prices Realized
1. Photographs, set of Eddie Cantor original photos, one signed $432
2. Book, "Take My Life," Doubleday & Co., 1957, first edition, Cantor inscription on the first blank page $40
3. Lobby card from "Ali Baba Goes to Town," signed, framed, with two signed cards from supporting actors Allan Dinehart and Douglas Dumbrille $80
4. Photograph, 8 inch by 10 inch, sepia toned, matte finish, signed by Cantor $120
5. Boardgame, "Eddie Cantor's Automobile Game 'Tell it to Judge,'" 1936 $35
The young Eddie and his future wife, Ida Tobias, were neighbors in the lower East Side where they met in a school yard. Not surprisingly Cantor appropriated a popular song that had been co-written by old-time minstrel Eddie Leonard entitled "Ida" and made it his own.
Together Eddie and Ida raised five girls, whose doings produced reams of material for Cantor's highly-biographical radio shows.
Although he never went beyond grade school, the hard-driving Cantor parlayed his show business acumen into a fortune. When he (along with many millionaires) was ruined in the 1929 crash, he rebounded almost immediately by writing a best selling book "Caught Short" that poked fun at Wall Street's predicament.
Against the backdrop of economic disaster, the '30s became a memorable high point for Cantor.
With his antic presence on stage, in movies and on records, Cantor – along with the Marx Brothers – made it possible for Americans to find momentary relief from the Depression in laughter. One of his hit records "Now's The Time To Fall In Love (Potatoes Are Cheaper)" is a direct attempt at finding a silver lining in decidedly adverse times.
If Cantor had proved to be an incandescent talent as a singing comic, he would make a more serious impression as a political activist and humanitarian.
Cantor risked his reputation and radio sponsors during the 1930s through his support of public protests against Fascism and his vocal criticisms of Father Charles Coughlin, a radio priest who was a noxious anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer.
A supporter of 1920s presidential candidate Al Smith, Cantor identified strongly Franklin D. Roosevelt. When Roosevelt asked Cantor to become involved in a national fundraising campaign against polio, it was the durable song and dance man who suggested that the request for donations be set at 10 cents.
The "March of Dimes" proved to be the most successful disease-fighting campaign in history. Publicly-funded research ultimately resulted in vaccines that eradicated polio worldwide.
Despite his humanitarian contributions and immense popularity during his career, Cantor is not well remembered in comparison to modern entertainers. Although he lived until 1964, recurring heart attacks made it difficult for the old Vaudevillian to entertain actively after the early 1950s. And while recognized as a television pioneer, kinescopes of many of his live telecasts have long since vanished says Gari.
Today, memorabilia associated with Eddie Cantor consists mainly of books, vintage records and paper items like autographed sheet music folios, books and studio publicity photographs. Personally autographed collectibles typically range in price from about $50 to more than $250, depending on significance and condition.
Rare artifacts can bring a good deal more. A promotional moviehouse banner from Cantor's 1930s hit "The Kid From Spain" recently sold for $535 in an eBay auction.
The best news for collectors is the accessibility of memorabilia associated with Cantor. Collectibles from the singer's heyday have been declining in value for the last 20 years, says expert Dr. Al Radwill of www.guaranteedautographs.com.
"Usually it's the bad boys whose collectibles are at a premium," says Radwill. "If you were remembered as a nice person with basically a good reputation, you're not as collectible."
But Cantor collectibles and the legacy they represent remain priceless reminders of the power of show business to transform as well as entertain.
For those interested in material from the Cantor and vaudeville eras, possible sources include estate sales, flea markets and house sales says Radwill. There are also numerous reputable dealers who specialize in entertainers.
Those who would like to relive Cantor's life and times are in luck because many of his hit records and live recordings of his radio shows are still available either on vintage media or as reissues on CD. A good source is Cantor's own fan site, www.eddiecantor.com.

Automatic Data Processing pulled back yesterday, and the bulls stepped in.
OptionMonster's tracking systems detected the purchase of about 3,200 April 62.50 calls for $0.35. Volume was more than 23 times the strike's open interest before the session began, indicating that new money was put to work in the trade.
These calls lock in the price where investors can buy shares, giving them the potential to generate some nice leverage in the event of a rally. But if the stock stays below the $62.50 strike price, they will expire worthless.

The New York Film Festival probably can't be beat for a concise overview of current world cinema. Judging from the latest edition, which just ended at Lincoln Center here, the movie scene is in good shape at the moment.
Not that it was a brilliant festival with lots of masterpieces. It wasn't. But it was a lively festival with lots of surprises. What it lacked in genius it made up in energy and variety - key ingredients for a healthy art form.
So a smart-aleck street picture by Scott B and Beth B rubbed elbows with a fine Walt Disney drama. Documentaries about gospel music and Siberia shared the screen with a long-lost Yiddish drama and a forgotten Cecil B. de Mille fantasy. Movies arrived from such unexpected lands as Lebanon, Turkey, and South Africa.
Experimental film, long a weak spot in the festival's yearly programming, was represented by several eye-opening shorts and a couple of diverting features. Credit for this goes largely to Jim Hoberman of the Village Voice, a new member of the selection committee, who went out of his way to solicit unconventional works that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.
Films by established masters made splashes of various sizes. New dramas by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog, Michelangelo Antonioni and the Taviani Brothers, Jerzy Skolimowski and Joseph Losey, showed the old guard in active and imaginative form.
It was especially refreshing to find exciting, fully realized features from countries not usually thought of as cinematic capitals: ''Little Wars,'' by Maroun Baghdadi of Lebanon; ''City Lovers,'' by Barney Simon from South Africa; and ''Yol,'' by Yilmaz Guney and Serif Goren of Turkey. Although each is more successful in individual scenes than as a whole, all are capably directed works with strong stories and worthy messages.
''Yol,'' a melodrama about five Turkish men facing personal problems while on furlough from jail, has already opened a regular commercial run. And the others could probably find enthusiastic audiences on American theater or TV screens. Still, for all their virtues, I have a few hesitations about the source of these movies' impact.
Each has a setting most Americans will find exotic, such as the streets of war-torn Beirut or the windblown plains of Kurdistan. And each has a sense of behind-the-scenes drama connected with its own making. ''Little Wars'' was shot piecemeal during cease-fires in the Lebanese civil war. ''City Lovers'' bluntly attacks its country's system of racial discrimination. ''Yol'' was surreptitiously directed from prison by a political dissident (Yilmaz Guney) who has since escaped.
Yet each one undermines its urgency by falling back on common filmmaking formulas. The editing strategies, the sound track music, the plot twists, reflect a mass-market conservatism based on well-tried Hollywood practices.
There's nothing wrong with exploiting Hollywood ingenuity to bolster a story or drive a point home. Still, it's disquieting to see the standard techniques and tricks of commercial film stretching their tentacles into the farthest reaches of world cinema. It's like visiting a far-flung land and finding all the restaurants stocked with hamburgers and milkshakes.
Sure, they taste good. But they homogenize the experience, displacing the unfamiliar with the already-known. They turn the adventure of discovery - even vicarious discovery on the movie screen - into something less risky and exhilarating than it ought to be.
That said, the New York filmfest still deserves hearty thanks for reaching so far from home for some of its key offerings. Even by their failings, such movies serve as strong reminders of the universality of human experience, drawing members of diverse cultures and political systems into an hour or two of shared thought and emotion. That can't help serving the crucial cause of international understanding. Films from major directors
Turning to more familiar turf, the festival presented works from cinematically prolific countries, too. (The entries from West Germany have already been reviewed in this column: Fassbinder's harrowing ''Veronika Voss'' and dreary ''Bolwieser,'' Sept. 30; Werner Herzog's massive ''Fitzcarraldo,'' Oct. 7.)
Italy presented a long-awaited drama by Antonioni called ''Identification of a Woman.'' Recalling his masterly ''L'Avventura,'' this moody meditation contains striking visual sequences - especially a symbolic scene shrouded in fog - along with explicit sex scenes and Antonioni's silliest dialogue ever. The plot involves a filmmaker searching for a woman who has sneaked out of his life, and culminates in a moving and mystical shot of a spaceship plunging toward the sun.
Also from Italy came ''The Night of Saint Lawrence'' (retitled ''The Night of the Shooting Stars'' for American viewers), by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani. It's an evocative memoir about a group of Tuscan townspeople searching for peace and freedom in the last chaotic days of World War II.
Of the three Hungarian films, ''Time Stands Still'' is the most memorable, and will soon have a theatrical opening. The main characters are high school students during the 1960s, groping their way through adolescence while weathering the confusing storms of a shifting sociopolitical climate. Directed with great visual originality by Peter Gothar, its best scenes are sensitive and stirring.
Less worthwhile is ''Another Way,'' by Karoly Makk, a strung-out and eventually dull drama that deals with political and sexual nonconformity through the story of a dissident lesbian. And the festival hit bottom with ''The Tyrant's Heart, or, Boccaccio in Italy,'' by the respected Miklos Jancso. This film is a hopelessly self-indulgent exercise in historical hyperbole that fails to accomplish in 88 minutes what the Brazilian di rector Glauber Rocha could have knocked off in one scene.
Britain's movie industry has been through hard times lately, pressed by economic and artistic woes. But you'd never know it to watch ''Moonlighting,'' a grim comedy directed by Polish expatriate Jerzy Skolimowski (reviewed in this column on Sept. 30). The other British contribution was Peter Greenaway's ''Draughtsman's Contract,'' a tragicomic romp about romantic intrigue in the 17 th century. Structured with uncommon rigor, yet eccentric to the point of the bizarre, it proved one of the festival's most cheerfully idiosyncratic items.
France, often a dominant force at the New York filmfest, offered only two new films, neither made by a French director. ''The Trout'' comes from American filmmaker Joseph Losey, who has been working in Europe since his days on the Hollywood blacklist during the McCarthy period of the 1950s. Intricate and elaborately filmed, it weaves a tangled web of power relationships among its characters, predicated on both economics and emotions.
''One Man's War'' comes from Argentine director Edgardo Cozarinsky, who has created a ''documentary fiction'' by juxtaposing old French newsreels with the spoken journals of a Nazi officer active in the French occupation. Cozarinsky regards all his raw materials as ''lies,'' full of evasions and deceptions and half-truths. By putting them into direct counterpoint - a ''dialogue of found objects,'' he calls it - he illuminates a dark historical period to fascinating effect, without once resorting to the manipulative techniques of conventional documentary. It's a remarkable achievement. American movies
The best American entry was ''Tex,'' directed by Tim Hunter for Walt Disney Productions (reviewed in this column Aug. 5). Also effective, though very different, was a nonstudio feature called ''Vortex.'' It was written and directed by Scott B and Beth B, making the jump to 16-mm production after several vigorous films in super-8. Though overlong and slow-moving, it's a carefully controlled and blackly amusing yarn about a private eye (played by rock singer Lydia Lunch) caught up in corporate skulduggery. In its own gritty way, it's a post-punk masterwork, with a fierce and funny vim to compensate for its occasional lack of taste and plain common sense.
Except for Paul Bartel's deliberately vulgar ''Eating Raoul'' - a cannibalistic comedy about a bourgeois couple who are more shocked by sex than murder - the other American entries were documentaries. Most lavish was the plotless ''Koyaanisqatsi'' (reviewed in this column on Sept. 30). It was shown as a ''special event'' at Radio City Music Hall, which has a screen large enough to accommodate the visual gyrations of director Godfrey Reggio, and enough Dolby loudspeakers to caress the sounds of Philip Glass's energetic score.
Among the more traditionally styled documentaries, three stood out. ''Little People,'' directed by Jan Krawitz and Thomas Ott, is a moving, informative, and upbeat look at the members of American society who stand less than 4 feet, 10 inches tall. ''Say Amen, Somebody'' - directed by George T. Nierenberg, who made ''No Maps on My Taps'' two years ago - is a joyous and jumping excursion into the world of gospel singing. ''Dark Circle,'' made by Judy Irving and Chris Beaver, is a compassionate and persuasive examination of the ominous links between ''peaceful'' nuclear power and the growing arsenal of deadly atomic weapons. It stands with the very best films on nuclear issues.
Other documentaries ranged from ''Arshile Gorky,'' a biography of the painter by Charlotte Zwerin, to ''Before the Nickelodeon: The Early Cinema of Edwin S. Porter,'' a rollicking and instructive journey through pre-1908 film, directed by Charles Musser. Also on hand was ''Coming of Age,'' a well-meaning look at a camp that encourages young people to ''encounter'' one another and explore their feelings. Other films
A few revivals rounded out the festival, none causing much excitement. ''Madam Satan,'' a half-successful romantic drama made by Cecil B. de Mille in 1930, features a deliriously campy ballet sequence on a dirigible. ''The Light Ahead'' is a sincere but dull drama about Jewish peasants in Russia, directed in Yiddish by the talented low-budget specialist Edgar G. Ulmer. ''The Burning Brazier'' is a surreal 1923 romantic fantasy directed by its star, Ivan Mozhukhin. ''Letter From Siberia'' and ''Description of a Struggle,'' both by the inventive French filmmaker Chris Marker, are sociopolitical studies that have retained a fair share of interest - especially the wonderful Siberian study - since they were completed more than 20 years ago.
Finally, in a marvelous change of pace from other recent years, the festival included several excellent items measuring well under an hour long. Among the finest shorts were the witty ''Wild Nights,'' by George Kuchar, and the surreal ''Science Fiction,'' by J. J. Murphy, as well as Cozarinsky's poignant ''Three Postcards From Saigon'' and Stephen S. Weiss's unpredictable ''Miami Is Okay.'' Jean-Luc Godard sent a gorgeous and evocative missive called ''Letter to Freddy Buache,'' and John Penhall preached a powerful antiwar sermon in ''For the Next 60 Seconds. . . .''
Other brief offerings came from Carmen D'Avino, Anne Flournoy, Robert Breer, Andre Leduc and Jean-Jacques Leduc, Emily Hubley, Ernie Gehr, Kathe Sandler, John Pascievich and Mike Mirus, Roger Kukes, and Manuel De Landa, whose ''Harmful or Fatal If Swallowed'' is the most savage satire I've seen in quite a while.
As always, the festival was presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. The programmers were Richard Corliss, Jack Kroll, Tom Luddy, J. Hoberman, and chairman Richard Roud.

Let's publish some data using Hypernotation. I am going to use the same (Chuck Norris) RDF example I have used on the blog so far. You can see the published data on http://milicicvuk.com/data_ and the prefix mappings on http://milicicvuk.com/prefix_. The domain is different for obvious reasons – I used my domain instead of
http://chucknorris.com, but the structure is the same as in the below diagram.
Every circle represents one web page. The contents of a circle is (rendered) HTML that you see when you visit that page in the browser. If you click on a circle, the web page it represents will open up, so you can see what it looks like in the wild.
As you can see from the image, the web pages are organized hierarchically, with the homepage as the root of the tree. Hypernotation allows you to browse data in a similar way you navigate through folders on a hard disk.
The arrows connecting the nodes (circles) are links between the web pages, pointing from a parent web page to its (immediate) child in a hierarchy. For each node in the tree there is a unique path leading to it, that can be seen by placing the mouse over it. Therefore, the URLs are paths comprised of a number of segments, i.e. the labels of all the links connecting the intermediate nodes between the root and that particular web page.
The labels next to the links are relative paths from the parent to the child page. Therefore, the web address can be figured out by adding that label to its parent's address. For instance, the relative path from
http://chucknorris.com to
http://chucknorris.com/data_ is
data_, which is also the last segment of the child's URL (
From web pages to hyperNodes
So far, I used the word "web page" for what the circles represent. However, although written using HTML tags, these web resources are not ordinary web pages. Hypernotation is expressed using just a tiny subset of HTML—it needs a way to say "link" and "list", and (semantic) HTML tags
<ul> mean just that, so there is no need to invent a new syntax.
If using HTML in such a way confuses you, you can think of it as of XML that happens to have tags with the same names as in HTML (and is shown in a browser in a friendly and interactive way).
In the Web of documents, a web page, i.e. an HTML document, is a tree of (nested) HTML tags. In Hypernotation, the whole website is seen as a tree, in which the "web pages" are closer to the idea of a single HTML tag. In Hypernotation, data is realized at the most granular level possible, meaning that each node, i.e. a web resource represents a single, indivisible, atomic piece of data.
The image above shows the comparison of an HTML document and a Hypernotation tree. While a HTML document is serialized in a "flat" file using HTML syntax, Hypernotation has a "real" structure, thanks to using HTTP URLs as the names for its elements. Another difference is that in HTML document a HTML tag can contain more elements of the same name (like the two <script> tags in
<head>), while in Hypernotation all nodes with a common parent must have unique name (like in a file system).
Another essential difference is that Hypernotation is based on the RDF model. All web addresses follow the "RDF graph" URI pattern that turns URIs into fully transparent paths encoding the relations between resources in the URI itself. In other words, they encode a set of chained RDF triples where the subjects and objects are nodes in the hierarchy. Therefore, the paths can be decomposed into triples that describe the meaning of the resources.
Take for instance /data_/chuck/foaf_based_near. What does this resource represent? What's its meaning? You can find out either by a direct answer, or figure it out indirectly, from the context in which the resource exists.
Hypernotation's way to ask a direct question is to look up its
(rdf:)type property. In this case, it explicitely states that the resource is a geo:Point, i.e., as described by its
rdfs:comment property, "a point, typically described using a coordinate system relative to Earth, such as WGS84″.
What about /data_/chuck? Here we don't have the
rdf:type property, but there are others that can help. For instance,
foaf:knows has the
foaf:Person, so we can indirectly figure out the nature of /data_/chuck.
What about /data_/chuck/foaf_knows/steven? From its address you can read that it's something with a local name
steven that has the relation
foaf_knows with /data_/chuck. Here, the
rdfs:range of the
foaf:knows property tells us that we're dealing again with a
As you can see, web resources in the Hypernotation context have some special features. Their addresses use the HTTP scheme and follow the URL pattern which makes the URLs (URIs) and links machine-readable. Finally, these resources are interconnected nodes in a graph. To emphasize these features (constraints) on one side, and to highlight the relation to similar concepts (that often have the word "hyper" in their names), I will refer to them as "hyperNodes".
From hyperNodes to hyperObjects, hyperArrays and hyperLiterals
HyperNodes (circles) and links (arrows) are the basic elements of Hypernotation. However, as you can see from the first diagram, not all circles are the same. Some return a list of links, and some show a plain text or a single link in the rectangle.
Also, if you look at the links carefully, you'll notice that some has prefixed labels denoting properties, while others look more like some kind of identifiers. Finally, there are links without a label altogether.
In the previous two posts, I discussed different types of links and hyperNodes in detail. Hopefully the following image will clarify those ideas and show that Hypernotation is mostly based on well-known, existing concepts combined in a new way.
The above diagram is the same as the first one, except for the added colors distinguishing different types of elements.
The red hyperNodes represent objects described with properties, while the pink colored ones are arrays pointing to their elements. Such objects and arrays are in the Hypernotation context called hyperObjects and hyperArrays.
The links directed from both hyperObjects and hyperArrays are called tree links, meaning that they always connect parent nodes with their direct children in a hierarchy. However, there is an important difference between them. The red links are typed links with labels (prefixed names, i.e. CURIEs) that are mapped to URIs. Typed links are always pointed from hyperObjects, so they share the same red color together representing a logical unit.
The pink links, on the other side, are always pointed from hyperArrays; their role is to provide unique keys (IDs) for the hyperArray's elements. These keys are not globally unique URIs like typed links, but only unique in the local context (namespace) of a hyperArray. These key links are always pointed from hyperArrays, so they share the same pink color.
The image above should help you better understand the relation between hyperObjects and hyperArrays. Here, togehter they build up what can be considered a table, in which the hyperArray provides unique keys for the "rows" (objects), while the object's properties are in the "columns". Of course Hypernotation enables a greater flexibility, where not all objects in the same "table" (i.e. belonging to the same class) must share the same set of proprites.
The black circles, called hyperAttributes, are hyperObjects that can be represented by a single value. In other words, a hyperAttribute is a hyperObject with the
rdf:value property. Instead of returning the list with the single property, it directly returns the value (in rectangle). Just like you don't say "the value of its name is Carlos" in English, but rather "His name is Carlos", equalizing the name with its value for practical reasons. But, "Carlos" != the name, it's the value of the name, and the value is just one of the name's possible properties.
The blue arrows in the diagram are hyperlinks. On the Web, hyperlinks don't have any particular meaning, but in Hypernotation they connect two different hyperNodes that represent the same thing. That is, they represent the
owl:sameAs relation. If a hyperObject has just one
owl:sameAs property, it becomes a hyperReference. Instead of showing the list with a single property, a hyperReference directly returns the value of
owl:sameAs, i.e. the URL of the target hyperNode. Therefore, like hyperAttributes, hyperReferences are a "syntax sugar" enabling a shorter notation.
So far, we have dealt with the two types of hyperNodes—hyperObjects and hyperArrays. Besides the two "primitive" subtypes of hyperObject (hyperAttributes and hyperReferences), the image above shows another type of hyperNode—a hyperLiteral. Simply put, it's a hyperNode representing a literal value. This value can be in the form of a plain text (black circle on the top right) or a hyperlink (blue circle on the bottom right).
A hyperLiteral is the only type of a hyperNode that actually holds data. HyperObjects and hyperArrays return the list of links to their direct children, i.e. hyperNodes they are directly connected to. This list is not "their data"—they don't hold any data by definition. The list is just a representation of a structure that exists around a particular hyperNode, telling a client about the available links to follow to go on with traversal. A hyperLiteral, on the other hand, doesn't have any children by definition and returns the data it holds.
As the above image suggests, all the types of hyperNodes can be divided into the three categories: structural, peripheral and terminal. The classification is based on the place a node holds in a tree structure. The structural hyperNodes build up the structure of the tree, while the terminal are the end nodes holding data. Peripheral are, simply put, hyperObjects directly connected to a terminal hyperNode.
Alternative methods of publishing hyperObjects
What if a hyperObject described with
rdf:value has additional properties? If the other properties are as important as
rdf:value, it can be realized as an ordinary hyperObject. But if
rdf:value is dominant, the hyperObject can still directly return that value, and provide the list of all properties on the
hyperObjectURI/_ path. The image below shows the both situations.
The left diagram shows a hyperObject that has two properties—
rdf:value and
ex:units. The two properties are shown in the list as equally important. The example on the right shows the exact same hyperObject published in the different way. It returns the value of
rdf:value, like a hyperAttribute, but offers an alternative "hidden" link "_" to a hyperNode that is realized as a hyperObject (in the left example), but with links to the parent's properties (
../rdf_value and
The homepage hyperNode
http://chucknorris.com (the first diagram) is another example of the second approach. Here, the
rdf:value of the homepage is a HTML document that is returned after look up. The list of the properties (
data_ and
prefix_) could be obtained on the http://chucknorris.com/_ path (although it shouldn't be mandatory in this case, because the two properties are so common).
In fact, every web page can be regarded as a hyperObject, realized as a hyperAttribute, whose content is the value of the
rdf:value property. Put in this perspective, the Web of documents is just a special case of the Web of data.
What about hyperReferences? As explained above, a hyperReference is a hyperObject described with the
owl:sameAs property, which tells that it has the same meaning as some other hyperObject. But they can also have other properties besides
For instance, we can add the property
foaf:name to the /data_/chuck/foaf_knows/bruce hyperReference (from the first diagram). In that case,
owl:sameAs is treated equally to other properties and returned in the
<ul> list (as shown in the image on the right).
In this post I discussed an example of data published according to Hypernotation principles. Although the example covers many important aspects of Hypernotation, many questions are left open. For instance, how to quickly get the complete descriptions of hyperObjects? Sending HTTP requests to every hyperNode is obviously not an efficient solution, so a way to "export" serialized parts of RDF graph must be provided. In addition, what is the relation of Hypernotation and other RDF technologies and concepts, like SPARQL, named graphs, reification, data provenance, RDF notations? Is it possible to navigate through and filter large amounts of data easily (without using SPARQL)? Finally, is Hypernotation read-only or does it allow modifying data as well?
These are some of the topics that will be covered in the next posts. This post's example shows what a backbone of Hypernotation looks like. The backbone contains all the information required for a "machine" to understand the data. It can be enriched and facilitated for a client, depending on the needs of publishers and consumers, the size of data and its purpose. Hypernotation is flexible in this regard, enabling many levels of sophistication. What's even more important, it provides a consistent framework in which more "advanced" features can (often surprisingly) be realized elegantly using the same fundamental principles.

A quietly filed patent appears to reveal Sony is planning or at least considering the possibility of reintroducing full PS2 emulation to the PS3, which initially shipped with a special chip for this purpose, though this was later removed in a fit of marketing genius by Sony in order to cut costs…
The inferred plan is suggested by Sony's American operation recently filing a patent which describes a method by which the PS3's "Cell" processor could emulate the PS2's "Emotion Engine", apparently without the need for special hardware.
The PS3 initially shipped with such functionality provided in hardware, and this was a key selling point, but with later revisions of the console the chip was dropped and full PS2 backward compatibility subsequently lost.
Whether this was a wise move is probably debatable, particularly considering how tenaciously the PS2 appears to be resisting its demise, but it seems the whole problem may be avoided if a firmware update could simply add the required emulation features in software and so allow the PS3 to play PS2 games once more.
Of course, there is also the possibility that the patent is but one of the many thousands filed all the time by a large technology company speculatively with no immediate hopes of release.
Via Gigazine.
It seems possible that Sony either planned from the start to re-add emulation via software when they dropped PS2 hardware emulation, or that they have been so stung by the refusal of the PS2 to be quickly and cleanly superseded that they felt they had to develop a cleaner solution.
In any case, PS3 owning gamers will appreciate being able to finally dump their PS2s completely if ever that day comes…

Haze hits Singapore, air quality 'unhealthy'
Singapore, Aug 26 (IANS) Hazy skies were reported across Singapore on Friday, bringing the city-state's air quality to an "unhealthy" level, authorities said.
The haze brought poor visibility and a burning smell to the island nation, with western and southern areas particularly affected, EFE news reported.
The haze is caused by smoke from slash-and-burn farming practices in Indonesia being blown across the Straits of Malacca by westerly winds, with satellite images showing hotspots over Sumatra, Indonesia.
The National Environment Agency (NEA), which has started a daily haze advisory, said the haze is forecast to be in the high end of the moderate range for the next 12 hours.
"Given the air quality forecast for the next 12 hours, everyone can continue with normal activities. Persons who are not feeling well, especially the elderly and children, and those with chronic heart or lung conditions, should seek medical attention," the NEA said in statement.
