Docker hats – not just the trademark of sailors.
The quay of Hamburg's port is not the only place where the docker hat feels at home. First known as sailors' headwear, the functional hat for fishers and dockworkers has evolved to become a fashionable accessory for the fashion-forward, modern man. Docker hats from Stetson are an outstanding highlight when combined with a laid-back outfit and can often be spotted on the streets of fashion capitals. The docker hat, which has always been associated with sailors, is also known as a skull cap. However, it is frequently referred to as a docker hat as it ismostly worn by dockworkers in ports.
Docker hats do not just offer perfect protection from rough conditions on high seas. The hat that was previously associated with dockworkers has become a trendy must-have accessory. The fashionable docker hat from Stetson is highly versatile and can be worn for many different occasions. You can combine this masculine headwear perfectly with a laid-back leisure look when you are in the countryside as well wear it with a tasteful outfit whilst you are in the city. The docker hat makes for a cool companion when worn with a camouflaged winter parka or a stylish wool coat. Whilst the elastic cuff made from pure cotton was made to keep the wearer's ears warm, it is now especially trendy to wear the masculine headwear perched on top of your head and to not pull the hat lower even on cold days. If you are at a summer BBQ or walking through a forest during winter or autumn – smell the sea air and make a statement with an urban docker hat by Stetson. Emphasise your style with a Stetson docker hat and lend a hint of rustic masculinity to your outfit!

What is PINS (Person In Need of Supervision) Diversion?
A Person In Need of Supervision (PINS) is a person less than eighteen years of age who does not attend school in accordance with Article 65 of the Education Law or who is incorrigible, ungovernable or habitually disobedient and is beyond the lawful control of the parent(s)/guardian(s), or other lawful authority, or who violates the provisions of Penal Law Section 221.05. A pattern of behavior must be documented for complaints involving PINS behavior, other than running away or marijuana possession. If a child is a runaway, a missing person's report should be filed with the local police agency immediately and before contacting the Department at the number listed below.
Complaints regarding PINS behavior are handled in Family Court. PINS behavior is non-criminal behavior such as school truancy, running away, staying away, refusing to follow household rules, etc. A PINS complaint can be filed by parent(s)/guardian(s), school, agencies, or the police. It is mandatory that PINS Diversion services be offered before the child can be referred to Family Court. The goal of PINS Diversion services is to provide services to address the underlying issues that are causing the PINS behavior and to prevent the child from being referred to Family Court. Every effort is made by the Department to provide comprehensive and intensive services. Parents are expected to fully participate and engage in services as well as the child.
The PINS Diversion intake line phone number is 607-778-2745. A caseworker will listen to your situation and offer advice on how to proceed. Not all acting out behavior qualifies for PINS Diversion services. The PINS Diversion services caseworkers are experts at community services and will be able to lead you in the right direction.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Roger Federer swept through a first-round win Monday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
Federer, seeded fourth this year, has won the tournament five times, including in 2012, and finished second two other times since 2003. He needed just 62 minutes to build on that success with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Benjamin Becker.
Federer dropped only five points -- two on double faults -- on serve in the first set and faced just one break point in the match. He won more than three-quarters of the points on serve.
No. 7-seed Philipp Kohlschreiber completed Monday's play with a 6-3, 6-3 decision over Thiemo de Bakker. Kohlschreiber finished with four breaks in nine games receiving serve.
Eighth-seeded Dmitry Tursunov stopped Lukas Lacko 7-5, 6-1 by saving all four break points he saw.
Also Monday, Roberto Bautista Agut defeated Adrian Ungur 6-1, 6-3 with five breaks and Andreas Seppi edged past Florian Mayer 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 by finishing off three of his seven break opportunities in the third set.
World No. 2 Novak Djokovic is the top seed in Dubai this year. He beat Thomas Berdych 7-5, 6-3 in last year's final.

Your parents' idea of retirement probably looked something like this: Quit working completely, play a little golf, maybe pick up a new hobby, but most of all — chill. But for baby boomers, the idea of golf or knitting 24/7 just doesn't cut it.
More than two in three middle-class boomers say that they expect their retirement will be "drastically" different than their parents, according to a new study by Bankers Life and Casualty Company's Center for Secure Retirement. "The current generation of seniors saw retirement as really slowing down," says Scott Perry, the president of Bankers Life and Casualty Company, a Chicago-based insurance company. "Boomers see things differently."
Here are four reasons boomers cited for why their retirement will be different than their parents':
- We'll keep working. Nearly eight in ten (78%) of boomers say they plan to work longer than their parents did. This is driven both by necessity and choice, says Perry. More than half (57%) will work in retirement because of financial concerns, but the remaining boomers want to do it to stay active or have something meaningful to do with their time.
- We're staying fit. More than eight in ten (81%) of boomers say that staying physically fit is very important to them. Whereas older generations looked at retirement as a time of extreme relaxation, "boomers realize they're going to live longer so they're concerned about keeping active to protect their health," Perry says. "They also want to stay in good physical health so that they can fully enjoy their retirement years."
- We'll never be irrelevant. Seventy-seven percent of boomers think it's important to keep up with technology in retirement. (On the other hand, older generations looked at retirement as a kind of unplugging from the grid, Perry says.) A big part of this is so they can keep up with their children and grandchildren by doing things like sharing pictures, says Perry. Another big factor is that they want to remain independent for as long as possible, he says. So rather than have to call someone for help when, say, they can't figure out how to email a photo from their iPhone, they want to just be able to go online and look it up.
- We'll keep on learning. More than 60% of boomers say it's very important that they learn a new skill in retirement (just 21% of them think that this was important to their parents though), and more than one in three wants to go back to school.
All in all, "active lifestyle defines the new retirement," the study concludes. So whether it's learning to speak Spanish, snagging the new Andriod phone or doing morning yoga in the park, we can expect boomers' "retirement" to look, well, not much like "retirement."
To do:
- See if you are on track using our new retirement calculator.
- Make sure you are investing for retirement.

|High definition (HD) video contents become popular and displays of higher resolution such as ultra definition are emerging in recent years. The conventional video coding standards offer excellent coding performance at lower bit-rates. However, their coding performance for HD video contents is not as efficient. The objective of this research is to develop a set of efficient coding tools or techniques to offer a better coding gain for HD video. The following three techniques are studied in this work. ❧ First, we present a Joint first-order-residual/second-order residual (FOR/SOR) coding technique. The FOR/SOR algorithm that incorporates a few advanced coding techniques is proposed for HD video coding. For the FOR coder, the block-based prediction is used to exploit both temporal and spatial correlation in an original frame surface for coding efficiency. However, there still exists structural noise in the prediction residuals. We design an efficient SOR coder to encode the residual image. Block-adaptive bit allocation between the FOR and the SOR coders is developed to enhance the coding performance, which corresponds to selecting two different quantization parameters in the FOR and the SOR coders in different spatial regions. It is shown by experimental results that the proposed FOR/SOR coding algorithm outperforms H.264/AVC significantly in HD video coding with an averaged bit rate saving of 15.6%. ❧ Second, we develop two advanced processing techniques, which are referred as to two-layered transform with sparse representation (TTSR) and slant residual shift (SRS), for prediction residuals so as to improve coding efficiency. Prediction residues often show a non-stationary property, and the DCT becomes sub-optimal and yields undesired artifacts. The proposed TTSR algorithm makes use of sparse representation and is targeted toward the state-of-the-art video coding standard, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), in this work. A dictionary is adaptively trained to contain featured patterns of residual signals so that a high portion of the energy in a structured residual can be efficiently coded with sparse coding. Then, the following DCT in cascade is applied to the remaining signal after spare coding. The use of multiple representations is justified with an R-D analysis, and the two transforms successfully complement each other. The SRS technique is to align dominant prediction residuals of inter-predicted frames with the horizontal or the vertical direction via row-wise or column-wise circular shift before the 2-D DCT. To determine the proper shift of pixels, we classify blocks into several types, each of which is assigned an index number. Then, these indices are sent to the decoder as signaling flags, which can be viewed as the mode information of the SRS technique. It is demonstrated by experimental results that the proposed algorithm outperforms the HEVC. ❧ Third, we make a contribution to the HEVC with several efficient coding tools incorporated into the two context adaptive entropy coding, i.e., Context Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) and Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC). The proposed tableless VLC coding scheme removes all the tables used for the residual coding, yet yields negligible changes to the coding performance. Statistical property of a symbol is employed to replace the conventional tables with a mathematical model and improve a coding gain with a high order Markov model. On top of that, a context for a significance map coding in a large transform block is newly designed. The proposed context model removes a dependency of neighbor significant coefficients along the same scanning line, and, thus, it enhances a throughput of the CABAC. The proposed algorithm extends to the mode dependent coefficient scanning method for a large transform block. The proposed algorithm has negligible effect on the coding performance while it significantly improves the parallelization.

Classic Rock's Today's memory
Roy Orbison's She's A Mystery To Me
Originally shared by ****
25 Years ago : Roy Orbison released : She's A Mystery To Me
Roy Orbison spent much of the '70s and '80s in commercial exile. With the exception of his 1980 duet with Emmylou Harris, 'That Lovin' You Feelin' Again,' he hadn't had a Top 40 hit on the pop or country charts since the '60s. But to Orbison's credit, he never chased trends.
Orbison's steadfast dedication to his signature sound actually started paying dividends again in the late '70s, when a widening circle of artists introduced his music to a new generation of listeners via hit cover versions, including Linda Ronstadt (who enjoyed a 1977 smash with her recording of 'Blue Bayou') and Van Halen (who cranked up the volume for their take on 'Oh, Pretty Woman'). Although he hadn't recorded an album on his own since 1979′s 'Laminar Flow,' Orbison spent the '80s slowly accruing a level of mainstream cool he hadn't enjoyed in decades.
"I've never really lost confidence. I can't remember not going straight ahead with what I was doing," he recalled in a 1987 interview. "I didn't record a lot — I was recording from time to time, but I didn't have that place where i felt at home. Without a record contract, I didn't have a schedule to keep with my writing, so I wrote some, but not under pressure."
Initially, people seemed less interested in what Orbison was writing than what he'd already written — in 1987, he signed to Virgin Records for 'In Dreams,' a collection of re-recorded hits, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by his disciple Bruce Springsteen, who paid him the compliment of a career when he told the audience, "I'll always remember what he means to me and what he meant to me when I was young and afraid to love. When I went into the studio to record 'Born to Run,' I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan, that sounded like Phil Spector's productions, but most of all I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison."
Of course, admitted Springsteen, "Everybody knows no one sings like Roy Orbison."
Slowly, Orbison set about recording new material, assembling a roster of producers that included T Bone Burnett as well as Jeff Lynne, who'd recently found himself at loose ends following the dissolution of the Electric Light Orchestra. As it turned out, Orbison's association with Lynne ended up putting a temporary halt to the sessions for what became his 'Mystery Girl' album — first because of scheduling conflicts, and then because of the series of happy accidents that led to Orbison and Lynne joining up with George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan to form the Traveling Wilburys.
"Jeff had come to the house in Tennessee when I lived there, with thoughts of writing and producing," Orbison recalled during the aforementioned 1987 interview. "We worked a few days and then didn't get together again, and when I needed to get with Jeff he was with George Harrison … and working on a couple of sides for Tom Petty."
The next thing he knew, Orbison was in one of the more surprising supergroups of the decade. "George came to town from England and he and Jeff and I went to dinner," he continued. "George said, 'I need a third side for a European single, so why don't we get together and write one?' I said, 'That's fine with me.' He said, 'Call Bob and see if we can use his studio,' so we called Bob Dylan and he answered on the first ring — which was unusual — and he said 'Sure, come on over.' So George went to get his guitar at Tom Petty's house, and Tom said, 'Well I've got nothing better to do, so I'll join you.' We were in the garden that afternoon, had a little barbecue and wrote the song — recorded it in the garage that night."
The song in question was 'Handle with Care,' the opening track and first single from the Traveling Wilburys' self-titled debut. Released in Oct. 1988, it reawakened the public to something Orbison's peers had never forgotten: As Springsteen said, no one else sounded like him, and that sound continued to lure famous collaborators into the creation of 'Mystery Girl.'
"Rock and roll has a history now. It has roots, it has a background, and I think a lot of people are interested in that," he suggested during the 1987 interview. "Not so much plastic, but more feeling, and more real music, and more truth. Things are so intertwined in the business — like U2, for instance. When I went to their concert for the first time, I really enjoyed it and met Bono afterwards. He said, 'I'm writing a song for you — 'She's a Mystery to Me.' We got together at the Grammy Awards a couple of times to work on the song, and he comes in and produces it. Not out of the blue, but it wasn't unexpected necessarily. I'm sort of just doing what I've always done, writing a song and singing a song."
If the Wilburys-mandated delay made Orbison antsy, he didn't show it. It actually made perfect sense, given the patient approach he'd brought to bear on his recording career since the beginning of the decade. "feel very strongly about what I do release," he told the NME in 1980. "If I put a record out I like to say I do want it to be number one. Everywhere. Otherwise I could just keep them at home, you know."
Even as cold as his career was in 1980, Orbison insisted that he foresaw "Phenomenal success…Much more so than I've ever had before" for the rest of the decade, and although it took quite a few years to pan out, those dreams started coming true once the Traveling Wilburys took off — but he took his renewed rise in stride. As he put it at the time, "All artists go through a period when they turn on success or success turns on them. Most of them can't ride that out. I guess I was fortunate in that I had been playing and singing for 13 years when success came. It touched me deeply, but it didn't make me crazy."
Unfortunately, just as audiences started coming around to Orbison's haunting vocals again, his health was failing. He'd undergone triple bypass surgery in 1979, an experience he described with typical understatement during the NME interview, "They ran some tests on Monday and on Tuesday the doctor said I had to have open heart surgery because of the blockage. I said OK, leave me a nice scar at the top, because I wear open-neck things and I don't like ties, and he looked at me like I was crazy. I guess I was, probably."
Crazy or not, Orbison felt better than ever after the surgery. "There was no heart damage whatsoever, and they increased the blood flow by 60% to my brain, and everywhere else," he insisted. "And I could think better, see better, smell better, everything. It was unbelievable. Back like I was 19 again."
Even with his medical history, it came as a shock when Orbison passed away suddenly on Dec. 6, 1988 after succumbing to a massive heart attack. "Even though the first heart attack happened ten years before, and an open-heart surgeon says it gives you roughly ten years by doing the surgery, you only remember these things after someone passes away," recalled Orbison's son Alex years later. "We were all shocked and caught off guard by the fatal heart attack, because Roy had been looking, feeling, and sounding like he was 22, not 52."
Orbison's death made worldwide news, and by the time 'Mystery Girl' arrived in stores on Feb. 7, 1989 — with the record's first single, 'You Got It,' already surging up the charts — it was one of the more heavily anticipated albums of the year. It went on to reach No. 5 on the Billboard charts and peak at No. 2 in the U.K., while 'You Got It' broke the Top 10 of the U.S. pop and country charts and topped the Adult Contemporary chart.
"His strength and his calmness and his unworldly faith will affect me forever," said his friend and duet partner k.d. lang. "He was so beyond the surface and the frivolous part of human nature. I mean, people always thought he was so lonely and sad and everything, but au contraire, he was very strong and very peaceful. He was a legend, and yet, he was really humble."
It was a tragic case of awful timing, but even if Orbison left us too soon, he always seemed to have a particularly graceful understanding of our limited time on Earth. "We had our plans and God has his and they're working together now," he said in his final interview, tying in with sentiments he'd expressed during the 1987 interview. "I don't think I've changed any, confidence-wise or direction-wise. It's all me having a dream and a song in my heart, and getting that out. I've never had a master plan, anyway."
From the album : Mystery Girl (1989)
"She's a Mystery to Me" is the sixth track and the third single from Roy Orbison's 1989 album, Mystery Girl. The track was written for Orbison by Bono and The Edge of U2. The album Mystery Girl received its name from the song. The song was received very positively by music critics, who generally felt the song was the highlight of the album
The video for the song was directed by David Fincher and it aired first in April 1989. Two versions of the video were made and both were broadcast by MTV and other outlets, though one more often than the other. Each version depicted the buildup to a girl departing on an airplane voyage. In the more popular video, it is a woman who is planning to leave with a rich lover, while a faceless protagonist seen mostly in closeups of black cowboy boots (suggesting the late singer himself) helplessly watches her leave him behind. In the alternate version, the ending reveals that it is an pre-adolescent girl about to board the plane, with an older woman (suggesting her mother) arrives at the gate at takeoff; the girl abandons the plane and tearfully reunites with the woman. The same actress portrays both the pursued woman in the former video and the pursuer in the latter.

It is very strange that I can't find older downloaded files, even though I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and now to Mountain Lion, and it was done on the same partition.
So my ~/Downloads folder actually shows files all the way back to last October 2011.
But inside, there is no VLC-2.0.1.dmg, even though currently installed on my Mac, it is the 2.0.1 version. So where could that file have gone? I never delete downloaded files (because the hard drive has 100GB+ of free space so 20MB or 30MB isn't a problem).
So the major question is, where could that file have gone? I used Spotlight to look for any file name with "vlc" in it, but only can find the app itself and a
Update: by the way, I can find the file by using Google, for
vlc-2.0.1 site:videolan.org but still would be interested to know where in the hard disk can it be?

Final Field for the Toyota Texas Bass Classic Set
Former champion Snowden and Texas fishing legend Clunn among field highlights
CONROE—With the Professional Anglers Association Angler of the Year race over, Toyota Texas Bass Classic tournament officials are proud to release the final field. The final group of qualifiers comes from the 2012 Bass Pro Shops PAA Tournament Series Presented by Carrot Stix Angler of the Year race, along with four sponsor exemptions. Notable contenders include Angler of the Year Gary Clouse and 2010 TTTBC champion Brian Snowden. The Toyota Texas Bass Classic will take place Sept. 28-30 at the Lone Star Convention & Expo in Conroe.
"We have a strong mix of former champions, fishing legends and up-and-comers," tournament director Lenny Francoeur said. "It's going to be a very exciting world championship. In addition, we're providing fans with a weekend full of free family entertainment, and it'll be a great time."
PAA Angler of the Year Gary Clouse competed in all four tournaments in the Bass Pro Shops Tournament Series this year, with his best finish at the PAA Tour Team Challenge at Lake Toho in Kissimmee, Fla., coming in second place.

Toyota angler Mike Iaconelli declined the sponsor exemption, with his wife due to give birth soon. Takahiro Omori will take his place. The other sponsor exemptions are Gerald Swindle, Kelly Jordon and Rick Clunn. Clunn grew up in Texas and spent a large amount of time around Lake Conroe, also serving as a guide on Lake Conroe. He is a Legends member of the PAA and has won four Bassmaster Classic titles throughout his storied career.
Swindle, a Toyota angler; Omori and Jordon are TTBC veterans. Omori, who has competed at every Toyota Texas Bass Classic, saw his best finish in 2010, when he finished third. Toyota Pro Team member, Swindle finished tied for 21st last year and 25th in 2010. In 2008, Jordon's team won the TTBC, and he finished ninth in 2009.
Other field updates: Jay Yelas, the 2002 and 2007 FLW Angler of the Year, 2003 Bassmaster Angler of the Year and 2002 Bassmaster Classic champion will replace Andy Morgan. Brandon Card, the 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series Rookie of the Year, will replace Dean Rojas.

Every year, Cars.com editors test hundreds of models to advise shoppers on the best and not-so-great choices. Each year, automakers redesign or introduce a few dozen of those cars, and in each of the past nine years we've given one of those models our highest accolade: Cars.com's Best Of award.
This year that group came down to six contenders: a tech-filled redesign on the Honda Accord, a blistering performance compact in the new Honda Civic Type R, a surprising sport sedan in the all-new Kia Stinger, a svelte luxury SUV in the redesigned Volvo XC60 and two new practical family haulers in the redesigned Volkswagen Tiguan and all-new Atlas.
Of that group, the Atlas is our winner.
Steady gas prices in recent years have rekindled shoppers' love affair with SUVs. But the Atlas isn't just a winner because of what it is; it's a winner for how it does it.
The Atlas boasts a cavernous interior with three adult-friendly rows of seats, an intuitive multimedia system, excellent scores in Cars.com's Car Seat Check and reasonably good drivability.
Indeed, it stood head and shoulders above other crowd favorites in Cars.com's 2017 Three-Row SUV Challenge. Throw in Volkswagen's outstanding new warranty for 2018, and the Atlas marries all that practicality with a lot of value.
It was a close match this year between six contenders for Cars.com's Best Of award, but when the dust settled, Volkswagen took home the title.

The last thing viewers of the comedy "Mr. Sunshine" (8:30 p.m. Wednesdays, ABC) probably expected was to see sweet man-child Roman get a girlfriend.
Nate Torrence, who plays the son of the Sunshine Center's owner, Crystal (Allison Janney), is all smiles himself about the romance between Roman and office assistant Heather (Portia Doubleday).
"That's my favorite storyline of this show," said Torrence, who studied at Second City Player's Workshop in Chicago in the mid-1990s. "[The writers] really did a great job with making our relationship move forward."
Roman came to the convention and events facility in San Diego when Crystal, feeling guilty that she packed her son off to boarding school years ago and has barely had contact with him, let alone knows him, forces the center's manager, Ben (Matthew Perry), to hire Roman as his assistant to replace Heather, a nice gal despite being something of an arsonist.
In last week's episode, Heather and Roman (in photo below) go on a double date with Ben and Heather's sister. It doesn't go well for the second couple, but Heather and Roman kind of fall for each other in a sweet, first-love kind of way. Torrence was pleased with the episode and their scenes together.
"Portia Doubleday, not only is she really pretty, obviously, but she's just a great character actor. She brings so much funny to Heather," he said.
Torrence and I talked more about his co-stars, his time I Chicago and how playing the ever-optimistic Roman sometimes hurts. "He does give me a headache from smiling so much," he said.
Roman is funny in that he's kind of a boy, not a man. He's not an "idiot," really, but clueless.
This is what's great about Roman. When we first met him, obviously, they're going for this completely man/child-esk, naive man, but what's great is we get to watch Roman kind of grow up a little bit into this idea. I think, as the series continues, I slowly become more of like a conscience to Ben because he is so pessimistic in life. I end up getting to be his friend that's completely optimistic and we get to play off each other really well in that.
I love this character. As we've gone along, the writers have just found some really funny, funny stuff in his relationships with the other characters ... because he has such a bizarre background with his mom, specifically. The relationship with his mom is so bad. The relationship with Ben is so bizarre. And then his love relationship with Heather, who is Ben's assistant, that slowly grows...
I love the line where Ben tells Roman that Heather starts fires to get back at her boyfriends, and Roman considers it, then says, "Yeah, but she's hot," or something like that.
Yeah. Exactly. We had, like, literally 10 different lines for that, where Roman was like, "Yeah, but she smells like cherry." We had so many because they can just go anywhere with Roman. Oh, it was so funny.
Roman's not going to get burned, literally, by Heather?
[Laughs.] We hope not. I think the problem is Roman begins to burn. [Laughs.] That's the problem.
Is it difficult to get your mindset into Roman and his innocence thing and cluelessness?
It's so funny, never would I be negative about him, but he does give me a headache from smiling so much. I'm not joking. During the day, you get to Hour 14 and I'm like, "My head; I'm so tired of smiling."
He smiles all the time. Everyone would make fun of me because I literally wait until moments before, like on the "ready, set..." I would begin to smile. I'm a happy guy, but Roman's at another level from me. It's just like, "Wow, that's a lot of energy and eyebrow raising."
So do you leave the studio every day and just want to go kick a dog or something?
[Laughs.] I don't smile much. I'm an angry man. I got through the El Pollo Loco drive-thru and they're like, "What's up with that guy? What's up with him?" [Laughs.]
And your wife's like, "Mellow out."
Exactly. [Laughs.] "Come on, give me a little bit of a smile, something!" But what's cool, too, [is] I would say that 90 percent of the reaction that I'm doing is my 6-year-old son. He really is a child in that way. It's really great because my parents and my wife's parents just finally got to see the pilot and I hadn't even told my wife's parents that I'm watching my son for my character. He reacts and speaks bizarre ways that I was using as my character and she totally nailed it. She's like, "You look exactly like Cooper!" And I was like, "That's awesome that you caught that!"
Well it's great you have Cooper to "study."
No, totally. Like some of those looks, I am so excited. As the episodes continue because for how quiet or defeated he seems, Heather gives him a little bit more confidence. And so you get to see this oddly confident Roman when he's around Heather and wants to impress her. That's also my son with these little 6-year-old girls on the playground. He's always trying to win them over and I'm literally just studying my child. That's hilarious.
Heather likes Roman too?
I love that they did that, because I wasn't sure when we started off if they were going to make her completely crazy or Roman [just clueless]. But there's a real interest in how genuine they are. The writer's are doing an amazing job at making him the sweetest person in the world. I struggle with, or hope he never comes of annoying because he is just so sweet to Heather. When you're playing somebody who is so sincere or so sweet or so naïve, it can almost hinge on that. I think we pull it off; a lot of people will like awe at Roman.
There's already been some crazy stuff happening on the show, but is there something in particular coming up that Roman gets to do that you had a lot of fun doing?
Well, one, I love how with this show as we get deeper and deeper into it, we really start focusing that much more on the relationships that are happening within the workplace and that, in the setting of this chaotic area where the main storyline doesn't wrap fully around everything that's happening at the arena, like, "This week, this person is coming in so this is all we're going to talk about for the next half hour!" They do a really go job that that's not a crutch and that it gets way more into, "How are these relationships going to work out with the awkwardness?" The writer's, again, just do a great job at how we really start tackling the intertwining between all of these characters.
But with me, specifically, they had Jimmy Connors on to play tennis and Roman's the ball boy, which is really funny. ("Celebrity Tennis" airs March 23.) I don't want to give away too much, but there's a funny thing that happens as I'm running after a ball. But within that, I actually played tennis and I'm half decent. I actually was a letterman in high school ... And so I got to play tennis at the Forum with Jimmy Connors and Fred Savage--he's another guy we have come on--and Matthew Perry. . It was a celebrity tournament and we're in the Forum, there's a bunch of extras and we're playing tennis and I'm like, "This is pretty surreal right now." It's one of those moments that I'm kind of gonna to remember forever.
Right. That's funny; Matthew Perry said the same thing about being able to play with Jimmy Connors.
See, I'm a little young. Jimmy Connors, I knew of him but I'd be more in the [Andy] Roddick world. But it was so amazing to watch how excited [Matthew] was to see Jimmy Connors. And then just in that setting--we shot that fairly early--you're still just kind of overwhelmed because, man, when we got in that Forum, it's huge. You feel like you're doing a movie. It's got that massive, large budget where you have the flying light balloons on the ceiling to light the whole place. It's just big scope.
So is that were you shoot all the arena stuff?
We don't shoot. We usually try to get there every three episodes. It's run as a church, I believe, and someone actually owns it. We try to get it and then once we have it, we make it long days or longer than they even usually are and try to get everything we need for you know, for the last three episodes. And then they built half of the outside of the Forum at Sony Studios. So it's really cool, you're in the Forum and we have that exact set. And they made this crazy job that they match perfectly.
So, Roman and his mom, is that ever gonna get better? It's really sad; he walks away from her and he's just totally defeated.
[Laughs.] I know; it's a slow, sad process. That's the one thing; sometimes it's almost too sad. Even watching the pilot when she says, "I don't have any children of my own." That's so sad. Crystal is such an eccentric character. I remember talking to Allison about it. I'm like, "How hard that you have to play these crazy [moments]; it's mean." But I think with the craziness of her character and the over-optimistic aspect of my character, we get buy with it. But she apologizes several times for wrong doings in the past. [Laughs.]
It's sad, but funny.
Oh no, it's hilarious. And that's what I think is so funny. We always make sure that we don't go too long without her ever apologizing, but then there are always a thousand more things that she does. They're just horrible. [Laughs.]
How is working with Allison? This isn't the first time, right?
Oh, I love that woman. I really do. I got to work with her for a little bit on "Studio 60," so I met her there. We were doing some sketches; she shot me with a machine gun. But we got to hang out then and it's always nice when you have some sort of relationship coming into it. But man, she is so great.
It's weird to watch someone who is bizarrely talented in the way that I'm getting to watch her do things that I've never watched her do in her career. I guess everyone is. ... No matter what, I try to be a well-rounded actor. The goal is maybe someday [to] get a little more indie [film] cred, or dramatic cred. Obviously people are going to pigeon hole me [into comedies], "Oh, I can't see you playing a straight character."
She has dabbled with [comedy] in "Juno" and stuff like that, but to see her physical comedy. She does so much physical comedy in this show! And that's something I grew up on, with Second City and having always been compared to Chris Farley or Jack Black with my energy on stage. So I was just surprised [with her]. I'm like, "Wow! You're really good at this. I take pride in being good in this and you're like killing it."
She also is really just a smart actor. She always is bringing stuff to the table. I think I've got more confident in that with a background in improv. ... I watch her confidence; she never backs away from trying something different. And she always gets the shots they want. But she always is willing to say, "I can do that completely different if you want me to." To watch that I feel like I'm kind of in school a little bit, because she has a character actor background where you can pull off things in a completely different emotional manner and she'll dig into that.
It's been great. It's really fun because she says such mean things to me, too. So we break a lot in our scenes, because she'll be like, "Oh, I can't say that; that's so mean." Or I'm laughing because she is so brutal. [Laughs.] We make each other laugh. It's a fun set. Everybody does though, too.
So what about Matthew? You guys worked together on "Studio 60."
It's been cool to watch him really take on the production aspect. He's just doing so much. I think it's cool to have someone with that much power--he's an executive producer, as high as you can kind of get on the show--have an actor's voice and a comedian's voice. ... I saw him just taking off in this idea that if a scene wasn't working or if a joke wasn't working in a scene, he would stop and say, "We need to rewrite that joke, it's not funny enough." Sometimes that was as little as us pitching jokes to each other or him grabbing a writer and going into his trailer or the office. We'd take 45 minutes and they'd rewrite something and he'd come back down and say, "Let's try this." ... If the scenes weren't paying off, he was able to bring these nuggets and really fix not only this issue, but the whole episode.
So this probably different than your experience on "Studio 60?"
Yeah, well, exactly. Obviously. What's interesting is how much I would actually compare him to ["Studio 60" writer] Aaron Sorkin; that's what Sorkin did. Because Sorkin had to power, he just wasn't an actor. He was a very hands-on writer. He would come down for all of our rehearsals. He would watch them and then he would rewrite things. But he wasn't an actor and it wasn't actually from comedy, because there is obviously a difference when you're working with Aaron that he's got such a larger map and he's looking so far ahead and it's dramatically based. Whereas with a show like "Mr. Sunshine," we're just looking to be as funny as we can. Yeah, there are arcs and things like that, but we want to make people laugh. We started really hitting our groove about Episode Four or so.
You have experience here in Chicago at Second City.
I never did main stage Second City. I trained there and then they opened one in Cleveland. I would go to like the Playground and iO West and stuff like that, but never did touring company or main stage at Second City.
How long were you in training?
It was about a year-and-a-half, and then they opened one in Cleveland, and I moved back there and then started training there to go on main stage, actually. I had gotten married in between moving from Chicago to Ohio and that's when we started really thinking about maybe taking the leap and going to L.A. So I actually moved to L.A. right before main stage started and all my friends were on main stage or in Cleveland. I came out here and then I hooked up with the Second City in L.A. And I did their graphic design so I could take writing classes there because I had already done everything. I just was trying to network, meet funny people, that's kind of all it is.
But it got me an agent. I give Second City a lot of props because coming into L.A. without anything on my resume, [no] film, television, commercial, that was the one thing that got me into agent doors. And the for commercials, I give them all the props. When anyone asks me how I made it, it's because I have an improv background. I was willing to do something completely crazy that was unscripted in the room during a commercial audition and 20 percent of them hated me for it. Eighty percent of them loved me for it and then I ended up booking commercials. So, my props and love is all to improv. And specifically Second City because I've done Groundlings, too, and I definitely relate mostly to [Second City's] style of training.
It seems like now you can't really see a comedy without seeing somebody who's a Second City alum.
It definitely got some respect. IOS has stayed strong, but Upright Citizens Brigade is getting some real props. But again, that's L.A. and New York. But UCB was brought to us by Second City alums, Amy Poehler and [Matt] Besser and all of those guys. I think comedy specifically with Judd when he started making films and we started seeing that playful filming and being in the moment relationally and building friendships in a real way, that became something that is an expected tool almost to have now in comedy. It wasn't, even since I've been here. And some people really frowned upon it, like it was disrespectful to the writer, I can understand that completely. Like Aaron Sorkin, for instance, you could never go off book; they would reshoot. They would yell, "Cut!" and you would redo the scene. I respect that.
But I do think there's been a huge movement in comedy that has not gotten to this very real, very in-the-moment place. I sincerely credit all that to Second City. I don't know if I've ever talked about it, but I was at Kent State and I was doing theater there and I was majoring in theater. No disrespect, I was like, "Where do people from 'Saturday Night Live' go? Because I'm not into theater; I'm into being funny."
I found out about Second City and me and my brother got in a car and came out and saw a show [in Chicago]. The show we saw was "Paradigm Lost," and it was Tina Fey, Scott Adsit, Rachel Dratch, Jim Zulevic, and it just was amazing. It blew me away. I literally went home, told my parents, "I'm dropping out of school. I'll finish the semester, but I've got to go and study here."
I was freaking out; I'd never even seen improv before. I was just out of high school. ... I met my manager, probably about five years ago and it was at a time where I was doing the Capital One commercials. I didn't know who I was going to go with [as a manager], and she ... [worked with] Scott Adsit. And I freaked out; I love this guy. And that was before "30 Rock" or any of that. And I was like, "No, you don't realize, I changed my whole life because of a show I saw him in.
When were you in here in Chicago?
Oh, that would have been in 98. And I wanted to add ... Second City didn't have a class starting right away for the time I wanted. So I went to Players Workshop of the Second City, which was Eric Forsberg, Josephine Forsberg. Then I went to iO West, which Stephanie Weir ... And I remember freaking out her and Bob Dassie, which was hilarious. They were so great. And "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind!" I used to go to that. My brother, Jason Torrence, was artistic director there for seven years ... We were doing sketch comedy stuff and then when I got married and moved to L.A., he ended up moving to Chicago, auditioned for "Too Much Light" and got in.
All right, do you have anything else coming up?
I have a cartoon coming out for Disney XD. It's my first time; I've been trying to break into the animation world. And so it's called "Motor City." They haven't given me an exact release date; with animation it's crazy. Our pilot got picked up. I play a guy named Chuck and basically it's kind of like a "Speed Racer." Where it's high action, set in Detroit in the future and cars have been outlawed. People can only fly in flying machines. This group of degenerates, called "The Burners," all have cars and I'm the mechanic who works on all the cars and I'm scared to death to be in any of them because they go 300 miles per hour. So I build all the cars for the lead guy, Mike, and it's kind of a sidekick role. A very Shaggy-esk role, like in "Scooby Doo."
So that's cool. And I have a very small role in a movie called "The Big E" which is coming out, I think in October. I had actually read the script when it was in its real preliminary stages and they didn't have anyone attached. I loved it, and then they ended up getting these huge names attached: Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black are doing it. They remembered me from casting and just called and said, "Hey, you know, we don't really have a role you know, a large role at all, but we'll give you a role where you have a couple of lines with Steve and Owen if you want to fly out to Vancouver and film it." So who knows? With roles like that, you know you're always like, "Nah, it could get cut." But I got to hang out with Steve and Owen for two days.
It's that what you hope to do, work with good people and get some fims in?
Yes. I totally did it for that reason. ... As you're trying to build your career, you're very aware of taking smaller roles that you're just trying to get seen in something in a different light. But I'd be stupid to let that one go. I have no punch line even. That's what's even funnier. I like walk in and I know people are gonna be like, "What's up with that kid?"

Subscribe To Kevin Costner Blasts Fools In New Trailer And Poster For 3 Days To Kill Updates
I've already subscribed
It looks like we're going to give "Kevin Costner – leading man" one more shot.
The trailer and poster for 3 Days To Kill just popped up online, the latest joint from McG (Terminator: Salvation). Following in the stellar tradition of Aaron Eckhart's Erased and Nicolas Cage's Stolen this appears to be an effort to re-frame an older leading man as an invincible action badass not unlike Liam Neeson in Taken, mixed in with a little Crank just for good measure.
Opening on February 21st, this Relativity release sees Costner as a suave international spy looking to get out of the game. But in movies, spies never quit, and his retirement is interrupted by a steely boss (Amber Heard, naturally) who injects him with a cocktail that ensures he'll die in three days. That is, unless he completes one final high octane-mission, one that sees him pursuing an evil terrorist while also attempting to bond with his daughter (Hailee Steinfeld).
Now that we've seen the trailer, it almost plays out like two movies. The first half portrays this as a straightforward actioner, with Costner as the slick shit-kicker we've seen in thousands of these types of films already. Heard seems to relish camping it up as if she were still in Machete Kills and by the sounds of it, she gets to say the title out loud a few times. Costner, at least, still seems like the kind of actor that can convincingly ground these theatrics, though unlike Neeson and his ilk, it doesn't seem like Costner lifted a single weight or ran even one mile to prepare for the action theatrics.
Of course, that second half of the trailer is where the dumb comedy starts, and it's revealed that this isn't some tongue-in-cheek genre re-invention, but a full-on goofball convention. Will there be moments where Costner has to do one lethal exciting thing while doing another, much more mundane thing? Is he going to burn breakfast because he was too busy torturing a henchman? Daaad! You're the worst dad ever, Dad! Steinfeld deserves better, but so too does Connie Nielsen, so regal when we first met her in the early aughts, reduced to playing "the wife." The song in the trailer is Problem by Natalia Kills, a song that you can bet 100% that Kevin Costner has never ever ever heard, nor would he listen willingly.
McG's a helluva talker, the kind of salesman you need to be to coax studios to part with their millions. This looks like a more modest b-movie than his last film, the deeply stupid This Means War, but the scale might be due to the influence of (oh hey!) Taken writer Luc Besson and his From Russia With Love collaborator Adi Hasak. At one point, you would have loved to see Besson tackle this sort of material, but after this year's stillborn The Family, we'd have to say his semi-retirement didn't do him any favors. Check out the new Kill poster. Will you go see this next year?

Peanut Butter Honeybees – LOVE IT!! <3
"The Genius of Swarms"
By Peter Miller, National Geographic Staff
"A single ant or bee isn't smart, but their colonies are. The study of swarm intelligence is providing insights that can help humans manage complex systems, from truck routing to military robots.
The bees' rules for decision-making—seek a diversity of options, encourage a free competition among ideas, and use an effective mechanism to narrow choices…
…Consider the way Google uses group smarts to find what you're looking for. When you type in a search query, Google surveys billions of Web pages on its index servers to identify the most relevant ones. It then ranks them by the number of pages that link to them, counting links as votes (the most popular sites get weighted votes, since they're more likely to be reliable). The pages that receive the most votes are listed first in the search results. In this way, Google says, it "uses the collective intelligence of the Web to determine a page's importance."
Wikipedia, a free collaborative encyclopedia, has also proved to be a big success, with millions of articles in more than 200 languages about everything under the sun, each of which can be contributed by anyone or edited by anyone. "It's now possible for huge numbers of people to think together in ways we never imagined a few decades ago," says Thomas Malone of MIT's new Center for Collective Intelligence. "No single person knows everything that's needed to deal with problems we face as a society, such as health care or climate change, but collectively we know far more than we've been able to tap so far."
…"A honeybee never sees the big picture any more than you or I do," says Thomas Seeley, the bee expert. "None of us knows what society as a whole needs, but we look around and say, oh, they need someone to volunteer at school, or mow the church lawn, or help in a political campaign."
If you're looking for a role model in a world of complexity, you could do worse than to imitate a bee."
"BEE" – by Rose-Lynn Fisher
"The first time I looked at a bee's eye magnified I was amazed to see a field of hexagons, just like honeycomb. I wondered, is this a coincidence or a clue? Is it simply that hexagons are ubiquitous in nature, or is there a deeper correspondence between the structure of the bee's vision and the structure she builds – in other words, similar frequencies being expressed in similar form? This got me pondering on the connection between vision and action at a more abstract, metaphoric level. Is there a parallel kind of encoding relevant to humanity? At a refined level of our own nature, does our deeper capacity to see and to do correspond with an intrinsic structuring?"
To promote Britain's Plan Bee campaign, UK winery Banrock Station created the world's first bee-powered billboard, composed of 10,000 live bees. Plan Bee aims to campaign against the use of bee-killing pesticides and to inspire people to help bees in their own gardens.
"THE BEEKEEPER" – experimental documentary by Richard Robinson
"…but whatever the intended metaphor for taking bees into space, one thing is clear – when the minors used the canaries to test the mines for methane gas… they knew that if the canaries died, the mines weren't safe to go in – so they would stay home and not go into the mines. But the bees as the new canaries in the coal mine…things are a little be different. We don't have the option that the coal miners did. The coal mine is now the whole planet and there's no where else to go."
"Lots of people talk to animals," said Pooh.
"Not that many listen though."
"That's the problem."

People rip on me for always telling stories where used car sellers do bad things. But I can tell you of one who was my hero. And he didn't sell a car to anyone I know.
A client of mine bought a used diesel Suburban from a small car lot. It was sold As-Is. She took it for a test drive and it seemed fine. The salesman also told her it was a "one-owner" vehicle. A few days after the purchase, the engine exploded. She had it towed to a shop she trusted and the mechanic called her with the news. "The crankcase was filled with something heavy - like gear lube. That is why you did not hear the rod knock which led to the engine failure." The mechanic saved some of the fluid to show her. He was a certified master mechanic and later became our star witness.
After getting nowhere with the dealer who hid behind his As-Is disclaimer , we filed suit. I rarely file suits for As-Is vehicles because of the difficulty of proving that the buyer was entitled to anything. But here, we could show that the defect in the engine had been hidden from the buyer, which created a case of misrepresentation. Misrepresentation is a common law cause of action, related to fraud, where a party to a contract conceals or withholds information which the other party has a right to know. Whole books have been written on it but that one-sentence definition will work for these purposes.
Keeping in mind that As-Is doesn't shield the seller from everything, we argued that the seller had known of the engine knock and had masked it with the heavy weight oil. A certified title history also showed the vehicle's FIVE (5) previous owners.
In the meantime, my client got the engine fixed. She was seeking reimbursement of the engine repair and her towing bill.
The defendant refused to pay a penny and his attorney kept insisting that the case would be thrown out because of the As-Is disclaimer. After a contentious hearing where my opponent also tried to say that the Uniform Commercial Code applied only between businesses (If that was true, the "As-Is" disclaimers would be ineffective as to consumers, Nimrod) the judge denied the request to dismiss the case. A jury would decide.
We went to trial. During jury selection, attorneys often ask prospective jurors what they do for a living. One man in the back row told me he sold used cars for a living. This brought snickers from the court room because the judge had told the jury pool that the case involved the sale of a used car. Rather than kick him off the jury, I asked him who he worked for. He named a large dealer right down the road from the defendant. I asked him if he agreed with the statement, "There are good used car salesmen and there are bad used car salesmen." He said he agreed with the statement.
I then asked him: "Which are you?"
"I am a good used car salesmen." I watched how he said it and it seemed to me that he was the kind of guy who took pride in his profession and would enjoy the opportunity to figuratively slap a salesman who was giving him a bad name. I left him on the jury. A civil jury in a case like this only has six jurors deliberate so it was a gamble. If I was right it could pay huge dividends. If I was wrong, that one juror could do a lot of damage to my case.
After several days of testimony – I can't even begin to reconstruct how this simple trial got so convoluted – the jury went back to deliberate. They returned and said they had a verdict. The judge asked the foreperson to stand. The used car salesman stood. "We find for the Plaintiff. In the amount [for which she was asking]." The jury gave my client 100 cents on the dollar – the engine repair and the towing. And I was right about the salesman. We do not know what happened in the jury room and I didn't get to speak with the jurors afterward. But there is a good chance that the used car salesman asked to be foreman of the jury. He was certainly influential, being one of six people who decided in my client's favor.
The defendant tried a few shady things in an attempt to not pay the judgment. Overnight, he changed the name of the car lot and his attorney told me that the defendant "doesn't exist anymore." I pointed out that the dealership was still there when I drove by it on the way to court. The attorney told me to go back and look at the cars on the lot: they now had stickers on them saying they were owned by a new entity.
I don't know where people come up with this stuff but suffice it to say that's not how it works. The defendant filed a few more silly motions but eventually agreed to pay.
And there is a lesson in here: If you are selling a car As-Is (and this applies to individuals as well as dealers) you can't actively hide defects from the buyer and expect to always get away with it. And, one of my heroes is a used car salesman.

I will not be continuing this project as explained in my previous post so here is The Legend of Zelda: The Shards of Light. Only one boss is partially coded, the graphics are incomplete and inconsistent, the music is unfinished, there are missing sounds, and plenty of bugs with debug menus and buttons intact. So really you can't complete the game. You can walk around and explore levels and collect most of the items but that is about it. Just a really big demo.
To run, make sure you have a nitroFS compatible flash card card. The save file will be created on the root of your card.
I will not be working on this game anymore so please do not email me about bugs. The source code will also not be released as currently it is in no shape to be released as it spans a few years of me learning coding techniques etc.
