Put aside the rumors of True Blood star Joe Manganiello as a frontrunner to play Clark Kent in the next Superman film as Zack Snyder and co. have found someone else to play their Kryptonian hero.
Henry Cavill (The Tudors, Stardust) has been officially cast as Clark Kent/Superman in Superman: Man of Steel. Warner Bros. confirmed the news this morning along with Zack Snyder's comments on Cavill as his leading star.
"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield."
The 27 year-old Cavill, while relatively unknown compared to fellow DC superhero actors Christian Bale and Ryan Reynolds, is a growing star and certainly has the look to play a younger Clark Kent, a much younger Clark Kent compared to the rumors of 40 year-old Jon Hamm of Mad Men fame playing the iconic character.
Cavill can be seen later this year playing Theseus in Immortals, starring alongside Mickey Rourke, John Hurt and Kellan Lutz and was a key character in The Tudors for its entire run, working with Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
The story of the Superman reboot won't be a full origin story and may differ from the comic books significantly in that respect. The story originates from the minds of Christopher Nolan, who was previously set to produce the project, and comic book movie veteran, David S. Goyer. Goyer is penning the script for Zack Snyder.
As for what the story of the new Superman movie will be about, Snyder explains it has no ties to previous franchise films and is not based on any specific comic book story.
"As I have already explained, the film will focus on early days of Superman, so there will be no links with other films. This is not a remake then. Similarly, although I still can not talk about the script, I can assure you that this new Superman will not be based on a comic book in particular."
What do you think of Cavill as the new Clark Kent and who should play Lois Lane?

Superman: Man of Steel is targeting a December 2012 release date.

'Hunger Games' Fans Weigh In: The First Image of Liam Hemsworth And Josh Hutcherson As Gale And Peeta
Just a few months back, Entertainment Weekly gave The Hunger Games' leading lady, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), the cover treatment and now the same courtesy is being extended to her main men, Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). The issue doesn't hit stands until the 29th, but PopWatch at EW.com has a preview of the article as well as a sneak peek at the boys on the cover.
Sure, seeing Gale and Peeta in the flesh for the first time is exciting, but the sensation is well abated as compared to getting our first glance at Katniss. This is likely primarily due to their no-frills costumes, which while not as much fun to look at, are quite appropriate. Something also seems a little off in terms of the proportions. We all know Hutcherson is a bit on the small side compared to Hemsworth, as he even points out in the article, but I'd like to bet they weren't photographed side-by-side for this image. It looks like the designer opted to go the cut-and-paste route rather than position Hutcherson closer to camera to bulk him up a bit.
However, beyond that, the guys look pretty good. Hutcherson is clearly packing a bit more muscle than usual, but not the gym rat type, rather something that makes him stockier looking, matching the description in the book. As for Gale, he's far leaner, which implies he could be more agile, fitting to his knack for hunting. Digging a little deeper, their facial expressions actually manage to get across quite a bit in terms of the tone of the tale. This isn't some frilly romance mixed with glorified fighting; these are tough times these mere teens are struggling through, not to mention the years prior during which typical childhood playtime had to be replaced with work and caring for their loved ones. They're hardened souls and it shows.
This new image is going to stir up quite a bit of talk and perhaps even debate, so to round out this discussion, I turn it to the fine writers from The Hob, Down With The Capitol, Hunger Games Movie and Hunger Games Network for their thoughts.
The Hob
Our immediate thought is that Josh looks absolutely adorable as Peeta in this image. While we'd like to see Josh exude a bit more charisma and charm, we're pleased to see that he's sporting blonder hair and bigger arms than the last time we saw him! At the same time, Liam looks leaner than normal and certainly appears to have the hunky, brooding, rugged look down. As for their costumes, the simplicity of the clothes may at first look, appear boring or lazy, but they're actually perfect for residents of District 12. Our one complaint about the image is the obvious Photoshopping of the height difference between the two – while we love that Josh defended the height difference (or lack thereof) with Jennifer in the article, it's safe to say we all know that Liam is a fair amount taller than Josh. By making them look closer in height for this cover, it ends up looking a bit awkward. Regardless, everything about this cover image and article just makes us more excited to see the final product in March!
Down With The Capitol
Even though we knew this was coming, thanks to Josh Hutcherson telling our staffers, Mary and Flo, about it when they met him in North Carolina a few weeks ago, we were still not prepared. Our staff's first reactions, we are not ashamed to admit, were filled with a lot of fan girl excitement over Josh's transformation into Peeta. We knew he would not be super blonde, and we are very glad they chose to make his shade a bit more of a sandy color. It suits his skin tone well. And those muscles? Well, we can certainly see him being able to "chuck 100 lb bags of flour." As for Liam as Gale, we love his look, but admittedly after seeing photos of him on tour with Miley and also on the set of his latest film, we are a bit used to his look. It suits his character though and we are very pleased with what we see. We are looking forward to Friday with immense anticipation to see what else EW has in store for us in this issue.
Hunger Games Movie
I've never doubted that Liam Hemsworth would rock the role of Gale. From the moment he was cast it was an instantaneous feeling that he was perfect for the role. On the other hand, I was hesitant when it came to Josh as Peeta as he didn't fit the description that we were all accustomed to. However, now that an image has been released of Josh as Peeta, there is no doubt that he is and will be the perfect Peeta! In the picture, he looks a bit tougher than I thought Peeta would look in the first book/movie, but nonetheless, I think that Josh really will do Peeta justice. Kudos to Lionsgate. The first picture of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss was amazing, and the first pictures of Liam and Josh as Gale and Peeta are just as great!
Hunger Games Network
Josh Hutcherson as Peeta is suddenly perfect. I was blown away with the obvious changes in him from The Kids Are All Right. It's kind of like the same thing with Jennifer Lawrence, how we all took so well to her after actually seeing her as Katniss. On the other hand, Gale looks slightly odd. In fact, I was more pro-Liam before this. Then again, maybe the shirt tucking idea is for the day of the Reaping. I don't know; I would love to know what they'll actually be doing in these costumes. Overall, they look great!
You've read what we think; now it's your turn. Are you digging Gale and Peeta's big-screen looks?

The woman critically injured this summer on the set of "Transformers 3" is permanently brain damaged, her family said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
Gabriela Cedillo, 24, was an extra in the film. She was struck by an object that came through her windshield as she drove her car on the Northwest Indiana set on Sept. 1 (video below).
"From what I know, an extra is in the background. Never did we think she'd be put in danger," Cedillo's brother, Adolfo Romo, said Tuesday.
Cedillo was airlifted from the area to Loyola Medical Center, in Maywood. She's currently at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, where her attorney said she remains paralyzed and may have lost vision in her left eye.
Romo said his sister is able to write with her right hand. He said she's written, "I love you and everything is going to be okay," but said his sister doesn't remember the accident.
The suit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, alleges negligence by the filmmakers:
- "It is believed that the day before the same stunt failed, and alterations were made to prepare additional vehicles for filming the very next day. On the day in question the eastbound stunt vehicle, closest to the center of the road, and closest to the extras driving vehicles in the opposite direction, had its cable and attached bracket from the underside of the car break loose, and become airborne into the oncoming lanes striking Ms. Cedillo's hood, windshield, and eventually her head."
"To have people driving their vehicles in close proximity to stunts that are occurring as violently as these were, I think that's unusual. I think it's careless. I think it's negligent," said the family's attorney, Todd A. Smith, of Power Rogers & Smith.
Plans to continue filming in the Chicago area were scrapped after the accident.
Paramount Pictures released a statement Tuesday, saying:
"We are all terribly sorry that this accident occured. Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with Gabriela, her family and loved ones. The production will continue to provide all the help we can to Gabriela and her family during this difficult time."

I wish there were a way to edit comments without deleting and starting over. Sigh!
I will assume (yeah, yeah, ass out of me and Uma Thurman...the only Al Franken joke I ever really liked) that you're reading this after Fashion Week because you need to be working. So while I wish you lots of luck and acclaim you won't know it until now. I'll keep an eye out for coverage of your collection.
I can't design. I can quilt a little but that's the limit of what I can do without a commercial pattern (and even with one it still looks amateurish.) But watching your process inspires me to try harder. If you ever come back to Portland, I'd be happy to salute you in whatever local beverage you choose.

Personal delivery fee??
Personal delivery fee??
Same thing all the other car makers charge it for.
I asked about the delivery fee as well when signing my final paperwork. It is indeed a standard fee (unfortunately) from all automobile companies (at least that is what I was told and I'll assume that they are telling me the truth).
Are all delivery points the same $990.00?
Yes it is
I paid ~$850 for a delivery fee on my LEAF that I picked up at the dealer, and all previous cars I have bought have had a similar fee. Just think of it as "additional dealer markup". At least with Tesla, depending on where you get the car, you get a personal delivery experience for that.
I buy at least one new vehicle per year and have never heard of or paid a personal delivery fee until the Model S. I purchase cars, trucks and motorcycles, mostly German brands and Ford, in Maryland and Virgina. Most do try to add on a titling service fee, which I insist on deleting or won't close the deal.
Dave, you still paid the 30% dealer mark-up.
Often it's called a destination fee instead (part of tax, title and destination added to the sticker price). The government mandates it be a separate line item fee.
It also is mandated to be the same for everyone, regardless of shipping distance or complexity. Frankly, given that Tesla has a very modest retail footprint and far flung customers, I'm surprised it's been kept to under $1000. I wouldn't bet they are making any money on this overall.
I understand when you get your car thousands of miles away from the factory. For instance car made in Detroit and you received it in Miami. Accepted. But what if I want to pick up the car right from the factory, why should a pay a delivery charge?
This is totally standard for every car sold in the US. The manufacturer charges the dealer and you pay as part f the out the door price. It is on the Monroney sticker.
Why? Simple - it's the same if 0 miles or 3000 miles. Not 1 mile and 3000 miles. If it bothers anyone, have them deliver it to you at the factory gate...
Why take delivery at the factory?
@ylyubarsky Because the government says so.
@Mel: I'm picking mine up at the factory to participate in the factory tour, and to take possession a week or more before I would have otherwise. No, it isn't saving us money, but it does turn the process into something of an event. Besides, a friend of mine who owns a Roadster has never been to the factory and wanted to come along given the opportunity to do so.
GeekGirls, that is exactly what I would have done if I lived closer. My point on asking the question, was that if you felt you were getting ripped off.., then do something different. See Ylyubarsky's comments above
Mei, I too picked up at the factory and for me is was just the opposite. the tour was great, and I wanted to get the car as early as I could (as we had a trip planned for the next day and what better way to break in the car and get to know it). So for me it was just the opposite - I felt lucky to have the option to do this (what other manuf would do this?) - and similar to geekgirls, I also brought along a Roadster owner and his wife and we all had a great time. It was an experience and one that my family and I will never forget.
I still don't hear that anybody could justify a delivery fee if you pick up the car right from the factory. And by the way Government has nothing to do with the delivery fee
Jjaeger, we are in agreement... I was being facetious because of complaints about paying a delivery fee,... See above.
It IS required that if you charge a fee to one customer you MUST charge the same fee to all (spreading the cost among all buyers). See http://www.kbb.com/car-advice/articles/destination-charges/ for the details.
I 'hear' just the opposite - many who have justified it and more. To each his own.
This is usually the destination fee that pays for your car to travel from the factory to the point of sale. It usually isn't $1,000. The price does seem high. If you are picking up at the factory it would seem to be an unnecessary expense as there is no shipping of your vehicle. I recall other luxury brands providing, flight and hotel for a factory pickup (maybe when economic times were easier).
Jjaeger, what do you mean when you "hear" just the opposite? The opposite of what? What was justified ?..
I thought that a factory tour, when you are taking delivery, was a great way to go.. Sorry I jumped to agreement tooo soon.
Good point from GreenMachine13. If the person decides to pick up the car from the factory and flies from NY to California he pays for the airplane ticket then he pays for a private delivery from the factory to NY. Why does he have to pay a destination fee? I understand if he picks up the car in NY and pays a $ 1,000 - it's fair. Otherwise it's not right. And as GreenMachine13 mentioned that fancy companies even paid for a flight and hotel for a factory pick up.
A Cadillac destination fee is $900-$1000 depending on the model, and can't be avoided even if you live next door to the factory. This is a totally standard charge and is always the same for a given car regardless of how you get the car (it's higher for luxury cars because they are shipped in enclosed trucks). This is just the way the car industry works.
Mel, no we're good. I was responding to ylyubarsky's comment. For me in order of value are:
1) factory 'delivery',
2) personal delivery, and
3) standard delivery/prep that we've all endured
with dealership pick-up...
I will reiterate...Tesla only gets to decide how much the charge is; they cannot waive the charge for those who pick up at the factory or charge more for someone in Maine. That's how the law works, regardless of fairness. Considering the number of cars being shipped individually to fairly remote locations, and the number of folks picking up the car at the factory, $990 seems like a totally reasonable compromise, as many have noted that luxury car destination fees range from about $600 to $1200 and none include personal delivery (not that Tesla is in most cases right now!).
I consider the surge in volume responsible. Whether that is a transient result is the question. Will the DS supply ever catch up to demand?
Just in passing: if Tesla can't get a person out to do a Delivery, will they schedule someone to come out at a later time for a "primer" on the car? You'd still get the delievery experience, just a little while AFTER the car got delievered :P
In states where Tesla can't deliver the vehicles, if there's a store in the area - wouldn't it be possible to get delivery at the mall where the store is located - and have someone from the store come out and help immediately after delivery?
The real price is $990 + $180 = $1170. This is a high price. I'd love to be able to pick up at the factory but wouldn't be happy to pay this much for destination/delivery if I did so. This is not "typical". As much I support Tesla, I think it's healthy to question some of these charges. Many folks aren't receiving "personal delivery" yet they must pay for it. Other automakers MUST ship to a dealer which is why you MUST pay the destination/delivery fee. Tesla isn't operating in this manner so why should customers pay more?
"I'd love to be able to pick up at the factory but wouldn't be happy to pay this much for destination/delivery if I did so."
I never understand this sentiment. If you prefer delivery you absolutely have that option. It's as if you would prefer not to have the choice of factory pickup if they don't wave the fee. If you feel that way just don't pick it up at the factory, problem solved. What if Tesla "solved" the problem by just eliminating the factory pickup option?
So why do people choose to pick it up at the factory, knowing that the price will be the same? You get the car a bit sooner, and get to take the tour. That's good enough for me.

Actually GreenMachine13, it may not be typical in your experience, but I've had to pay a destination charge on each of the last 4 cars I've purchased in the last 2 decades. Each had a destination charge which was required to be paid no matter where the car was delivered--at the factory or across the country.
Has been done. Not always.
Oops. That was in response to question whether a DS visit would/could occur later.
Will staffing catch up to delivery rate?
The last two cars I've bought (a Lexus and an Infiniti) both had destination fees of $850 and dealer doc fees over $400. So this is nothing new. The thing that ticks me off is the sales tax on an item I bought over the internet with no retail locations in my state.
In working with Mercedes-Benz for 20 years, I do have to share this thought. Our destination fee is $905. That is the charge to ship the vehicle from the port where the vehicle comes off the ship, and transport it to the selling dealer. That being said, if a client choses to do a factory delivery, Mercedes-Benz does not charge a Destination/Delivery Fee at all. The $905.00 fee is deleted. I do feel that this is a high line product, and that anyone that takes delivery at the factory should not have to pay a delivery fee. The same program exists with BMW, Volvo, and Porsche. Factory pick-up....No Destination/Delivery fee. If the car has to be trucked, different story. This is simply my opinion, based on what other manufacturers are doing.
When I stated not "typical" I was referring to the amount not the charge itself. According to kbb the fee is usually $400-$800. We're all paying $1170 so clearly it's high. I've purchased 10 cars in the last 20 yrs so I've seen the charges quite a bit. I get that the charge itself is typical but not the amount.
Gregv64, the issue is with the fee not the optional tour. Why would anyone be ok with paying to ship a product and have someone personally deliver & explain the product to you and NOT receive either service? If you pick up at the factory you just paid $1,170 for services you didn't receive. That's not ok with me. Even if we take delivery 1,000 miles away and don't receive the personal delivery we shouldn't have to pay the $180.
@GreenMachine13 - I paid over $800 for the destination fee on my LEAF, and another $150 for final prep. So, I don't think that the price is out of line for a car that costs twice as much. If you want to complain about something, complain about a $50 cargo net that has about as much material as a $5 ping-pong net.
It's just another cost of getting the car, and if you don't want to pick it up at the factory and feel like you aren't getting the delivery service then by all means have them deliver it to your house instead of getting the factory tour. If you feel left out of the tour, then think of it as paying for the tour. If you don't like either, then don't buy the car. Would you have been happier if that line was $0 and the base price of the car was just higher?
@Jat, Comparing the buying experience of a Leaf to the MS certainly isn't apples to apples. The Mercedes, Porsche, Audi comparisons are far more reasonable. If you disagree with me that's fine. This is a forum for constructive criticism. It's not all going to be about how much we love Tesla. There are many issues with the process and product that should be expressed. I appreciate your advice but I'll make the decision on what I spend my money.
GreenMachine13 - Have you purchased a LEAF lately? As an early adopter I find the buying experiences very similar. Pay a deposit, get a number, and spend months on forums like this waiting for delivery. Every bit as much anticipation, speculation, and good and bad data.
I am reading everybody's responses and it looks like blind is talking to the deaf. Why everybody is trying to show that other companies have destination fees. Show me one buyer who picked up the car from Lexus in Japan or Canada, Mercedes or Porsche in Germany and paid destination fees. This debate is going nowhere. Even the gentleman from Mercedes clearly said:if you pick up the car from port - no destination fee. I don't think we have a chance to fight this charge but I think it's obvious that no delivery - no charge. And don't tell me BS stories about Government Laws etc. As I said before there is no government law about destination fee. I can tell you more, $ 700 bank fee that you pay when you lease the car - it's the same BS charge that dealers put into their pockets. I hope I was clear enough to have a few people on my side, although it won't help us anyway.
@ylyubarsky, if you flip back through these posts, you'll see where I cited that while there's no law stating they must charge a fee, there is in fact a regulation that if you charge destination for one customer you must charge the same amount for all. From Kelley Blue Book:
"From an historical prospective, there was a time when you could travel to Detroit and pick up your vehicle direct from the manufacturer, thereby eliminating the destination charge. This ended over 30 years ago, when the automotive industry adopted equalized freight charges."
"The destination fee should be regarded as yet another cost of doing new car business. There are several other fees that manufacturers must bake into the price of their new cars and trucks, but the U.S. government has required this fee be itemized on the sticker based on the fact that it is a direct cost, above and beyond the "overhead" companies must incur in bringing a product to market. Tax, license and a detailed list of all the standard and manufacturer-installed options and their retail prices must also be clearly listed on the "Monroney label" of each new car."
@riceuguy, if I read your comment correctly it states that the government requires that the fee be itemized, not that it be the same regardless of where delivered. "...the automotive industry adopted equalized freight charges." So, my question is whether this is industry custom/standard or if the equalized charge is, indeed, mandated by the federal government.
@ylyubarsky, If I pick up my Benz in Germany I must then transport the vehicle to the United States and cover that cost. Same for a Lexus. As I'm taking delivery in a foreign country, US law (if it exists) regarding the delivery fee would not apply. Other import duties would, of course.
If that is true, then why is this not shown when you build your car. It magically pops in at paperwork time. Build a car on any manufacturers site, and the destination charge is clearly displayed. I think the surprise is a the problem at over $1000
I have had many clients pick their cars up in Germany and for the factory experience, and off they go. There is no destination fee ever that way. As far as the above ylyubarsky, the manufacturer also ships the car back to the US, as that is built into the vehicles base price. You never have to arrange to ship your car from that country home. That is a crazy statement. I am not saying we can change this, but I do agree that Tesla Motors needs to be aware that on competitors vehicles, factory delivery waives the fee. I am not looking to start a battle, but state the facts.
To be fair, you really have to compare factory pick-ups only in the US. I am one of the biggest nit-pickers with regard to overpriced features/options and even I don't have a real problem with the delivery fee. Mainly because it seems to be consistent with the rest of the (US) auto industry.
I can't believe this thread is still going. This fee is not going anywhere.

I'm very new to Java Programming, and I've been working on a project. Probably easy, I just can't seem to know what to do next.
Well basically creating an ASCII table.
I prompt a user for a number , which will define my number of groups in my table. ( I've already prompt the user)
I produce an ASCII table from 0 -127
Im organizing my groups in 3 tables displaying values as a char, in hex, and in decimal.
When I print the number of groups defined by the user, i need to input a new line and continue.
I know my solution must use a loop that goes from 0 - 127, and a second control structure to determine where to start a new line when i have enough groups printed.
package first; import java.util.Scanner; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int userNum; System.out.println("Enter an integer: "); userNum = input.nextInt(); while (userNum < 128) { if (userNum > 6 && userNum < 9 || userNum == 13) { } } } }
So im not asking anyone to give me the answer, but I want to know if im on the right track or not, and if so perhaps you can point me in the right direction or suggest type of tutorials that will help me. Im really do want to learn and not just copy paste.
Oh this is the sample output im sure that will give a better understanding of what im trying to achieve.

Remarks of R.K. Arnold
President and CEO of MERSCORP, Inc.
Before the
Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity
House Financial Services Committee
November 18, 201
The MERS database is important to individual borrowers because it provides a free and
accessible resource where borrowers can locate their servicers, and in many cases, learn who
their note-owner is as they change over time.
To do this, MERS relies on specially designated employees of its members, called
certifying officers, to handle the foreclosure. To be a MERS certifying officer, one must be an
officer of the member institution who is familiar with the functions to be performed, and who
has passed an examination administered by MERS. Generally, these are the same individuals
who would handle the foreclosure if the lender was involved without MERS.
In my opinion if this is a correct statement than without reading into the rest we have a problem because you see in the image below these are not designated employees or officer of the "member institution"…but were or are employees of LPS. Not to mention the obvious issues. I am not an attorney.

The Compleat Gentleman
- The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry
- Letto da: Christopher Lane
- Durata: 8 ore e 35 min
- Versione integrale Audiolibro
- Data di pubblicazione: 10/12/2004
- Lingua: Inglese

Sintesi dell'editore
Despite our confusion, real manhood is not complicated. It is an ancient ideal based on service to one's God, country, family, and friends, a simple but arduous ideal worthy of a lifetime of struggle.
Miner's gentleman stands out for his dignity, restraint, and discernment. He rejects the notion that one way of behaving is as good as another. He belongs to an aristocracy of virtue, not of wealth or birth. Proposing neither a club nor a movement, Miner describes a lofty code of manly conduct, which, far from threatening democracy, is necessary for its survival.
Miner traces the concept of manliness from the jousting fields of the 12th century to the decks of the Titanic. The three masculine archetypes that emerge, the warrior, the lover, and the monk, combine in the character of the "compleat gentleman". This modern knight cultivates a martial spirit in defense of the true and the beautiful. He treats the opposite sex with the passionate respect required by courtly love. And he values learning in the pursuit of truth, all with the discretion, decorum, and nonchalance that the Renaissance called sprezzatura.
The Compleat Gentleman is filled with examples from the past and the present of the man our increasingly uncivilized age demands.
"What can the word 'gentleman' have to do with 21st-century America? A lot....Miner writes with wit and charm." (Wall Street Journal)
"In erudite and witty prose, Miner explores these three facets of his concept of the gentleman through an engaging survey of knighthood, warfare and courtship....Miner's theories are consistently entertaining." (Publishers Weekly)

Good argument (with a single near-fatal flaw)
This book is a joy to read for anyone longing to escape the confines of our decadent culture. The history of gentlemanliness, chivalry, courtship, and honor that comprises the first portion of the book is sound and thorough enough, but the point of this text comes toward the end, where Miner explains what it is to be a gentleman in today?s society. He shows how it is possible and gives examples of modern day gentlemen (largely centered around the military and the heroes of 9/11).
The argument for chivalry stumbles when the author tries to make a case for martial combat. Simply, our age cannot condone martial combat because technology has eliminated the possibility of honorable combat. School shootings and the prospect of nuclear war are proof that we should find a better outlet for physical prowess. Sport is the closest thing I can think of, but it is not mentioned in the book.
The big problem with Miner?s examination is his exaltation of coolness. The way he puts it, cool (sprezzatura) is the ultimate aim of the gentleman. And while a solid case can be made for sprezzatura, coolness means nonchalance and insouciance, and those things do not always lead to refinement and excellence. Indeed, coolness is the primary aim of our culture these days and it leads directly to all the problems that Miner is trying to correct with the compleat gentleman.
It is a fine collection of refreshing ideas and is well worth the read despite its near-fatal flaw. The author is diligent in locating the source of words and ideas and it is worth the read just to know where the word ?romance? came from. Ultimately, the book will probably add some energy to the growing movement toward a more civilized society.

A Quality Study for the Morally-Minded
In stark contrast to The Knight's Code by Robert Noland (which I also reviewed), this book is exactly what I hoped it would be. Without any religious agenda, the author extrapolates the finer points behind the concept of chivalry, traces how it evolved through the ages, and gives the reader a means by which to apply such things to life in the modern politically-correct world. As one who tries to live by a chivalric code, I found that a great many ideas here resonated with what I already understood, and many more ideas helped to build upon gaps in my understanding and appreciation. The history is interesting and accurate to the best of my knowledge, serving to facilitate the evolution of the gentlemanly mindset without alienating the reader or scaring him away. I learned plenty along the way to supplement my previous knowledge, so that's always a plus. As with any book of this nature, the information is only a curiosity unless applied, and if the reader is willing to apply the ideas within, this book could be a transformative experience... but only the reader can determine the fullness of that claim for himself.

Being a gentleman is living a tradition
This book is far more than a manners guide. It speaks deeply to the largely Western traditions of honor, valor, consideration for others, and yes, manners and the special care for women. These things are skipped over in schools today, to our diminishment. The world would be a better place if men strove more towards becoming gentlemen.

Not what I expected, either
This is a book that all liberals need to read. It provides an infusion of strength and purpose. The author is certainly not a hippie, but neither is he neo-conservative. He doesn't glorify violence, but he does preach conviction and dedication, and he acknowledges that as long as there are things worth fighting for, you'd better be prepared to fight. There's a big difference between standing up for what's right and just waxing philosophic about "the way things ought to be", and we liberals have largely forgotten that. This book is a much-needed wakeup call.

History and definition of the gentleman.
If you could sum up The Compleat Gentleman in three words, what would they be?
History. Definition. Guide.
Any additional comments?
The book is a great history and definition of the gentleman for men who are constantly aspiring to grow and improve. My wife and I listened this book and enjoyed and learned from it.

Guilty much?
Not a bad book, but I could do without the author's personal history. He dodged the draft in Vietnam and now, safely past draft age, he thinks all men should undertake military service and feels guilty about dodging the draft. Pure BS. Public service is important and Gandi was much more of a gentleman than many who can pick up a gun. I have nothing agaist the military and it is a good choice for many people, but not all public service is military service.
The history is good acurate and interesting. Good narriation.

Not what I expected
The author is a neo-conservative who attempts to justify the merits of war in general, religion in schools and goverment, and many right-wing values in the name of gentlemanly behavior. The basis of his arguments are not philosophical, but rather boringly historical. If you're a neo-con, you'll love this. If you are not, you'll find it ridiculous. The only thing both groups might get out of it are some interesting recommendations for other reading material about the topic. The author also likes to use big, infrequently used words needlessly that I found annoying and pompous.

Pure manliness information
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The narrator and the author are perfect, I believe this is a far better read as an audio book
Any additional comments?
A book about being a real man, no rules of how to make other people feel happy , full of useful insights into how all men should carry them selves in the world. Love it

Well done RNLI
Posted by N Griffin
Page 1 of 2 Pages: 12Newer Topic Older Topic
RNLI rescue 905 people in 2011 (see RTE link below). Great news to hear RNLI are due to start operations on Lough Ree this season, thanks in no small measure to efforts by Athlone IWAI branch and local interests. That will bring to three the no of inland stations based in Ireland.
OceanFroggie Noel Griffin
Apologies Maurice for that omission. The news piece was about the RNLI. Of course we are also lucky to have an excellent IRCG IU base in Killaloe. Well done all rescue services including RNLI, IRCG, sub aqua clubs, Garda sub aqua unit, civil defence and other small independent marine rescue units.
OceanFroggie Noel Griffin
I suppose this IS good news. But I have always been concerned about the necessity of such a specialised and expensive facility on L.Derg, (And now L. Ree), or any other inland waterway in Ireland. Has experience to date not shown that the RNLI are acting as an Aqua AA service to retrieve grounded boats? The Coastguard in Killaloe, together with rescue services in Mountshannon and Portumna, already fulfil that role.... Is the inclusion of the RNLI not just duplication in these austere times? The few, tragic, instances of loss of life that I am aware of on the lakes could not have been prevented by the presence of the RNLI. Presumably, there is research to prove me wrong, which would be great! I listen to VHF weather up-dates throughout the winter from L. Derg Coastguard, and also the un-tiring communication from the RNLI Lifeboat on night exercises, and wonder does anyone else tune in, or have any interest? BTW, where does the Portumna rescue unit fit in? I don't see it listed as a "Dedicated resource", but have seen it in operation recovering hire boats in trouble in a very expensive, well kitted rib?
Hi Peter.
RNLI is not State funded. It relies on voluntary contributions.
And of course Lifeboat crew are unpaid volunteers.
So if RNLI decide that a station on Derg or Ree is justified why should we not welcome it?
And support the RNLI with our subscriptions?
All the best,
Yacht Breakaway
the rnli is paid for by charitable donations from the public like me.
it does not cost the government or anyone else that chooses to ignore it anything.
you seem to be missing one fact that I think is the most important in that they have saved lives that would otherwise have been lost without them.
they operate the way they do so nobody is afraid to call them out so that they will always be there when they are really needed.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 23/02/2012 07:45 by andrew.
RNLI Lough Derg Lifeboat and Killaloe CG are the only designated rescue assets by MRCC on Lough Derg. One of the others seems designed to deal with non life threatening routine hiccups, groundings, etc, on hire vessels and to keep same minor incidents under the radar of MCIB. Mountshannon is a community run rib and undesignated like Portumna.
Btw, the regular VHF calls heard every 15mins when either RNLI or CG boats are on the water or engaged in training services is a required safety SOP (standard operating procedure). They are obliged to report status every 15mins once launched. There have been two serious incidents on Lough Derg in past three years where four lives were almost certainly saved by the existence of these official, voluntary but professionally operated rescue services. What value can be put on even a single human life, father, mother, brother, sister, son, doughter, child, loved one!
I have a certain sympathy for the issue of 'marine AA role' misuse, but when real lives are truely saved it puts the whole issue in a different context. Rescue services are a luxury we in the west are privileged to have access to, be it an ambulance, fire engine, police, chopper, or boat.
It is true nowadays on the seas, that more and more marine rescue services are dealing with incompetent or careless leisure craft users than professional mariners suffering accidents. But that's a separate issue.
OceanFroggie Noel Griffin
On this site IWAI's own Water Safety link should be given to every group of people who hire boats and be a must read for any private owner who uses our waterways. I know its an old cliche but prevention is better than a cure and the water safety link gives sound advice on how to behave on the water and would help if and its a big IF its abided by boaters. As for the different rescue organisations on the water I know if I came upon a situation where i'm in trouble I wouldnt care who they were i'd just be glad they were there so we should just be glad there is some-one willing to give their time and effort to make our waterways safer.Mick
Agree Mick. Some interesting links here on Ireland's Marine rescue services. Won't bore folk by pasting it all in.
OceanFroggie Noel Griffin
Meant to say about an experience my mate and I had a number of years ago near Dromod--We had been fishing around Boffin and Boderg loughs when we noticed a hire boat(cant remember if Star or Carrick boat but think Star-getting old)sitting on the wrong side of a black marker way out beyond the harbour markers and so we went to investigate what was wrong. They were foreign and had run aground so we passed a rope and proceeded to pull them out when a rib approahed from Dromod the people on board the rib were sent by the hire company to assist the people and told us off. Seems they said we should have checked to see if the hull was damaged as the boat may have ran onto rocks and not mud and moving it would have caused more damage. Fortunately it was only mud but we were left in no doubt that the hire boats if ran aground should be left for them to deal with--dont know but think they are probably paid by the hire company to rescue stranded boats and we may have cost them money but it makes you think about going to assist such boats. MICK
If I can remember correctly, I think the hire co's have a rule that "private" boats should not tow off their boats if aground, ( Robbie will be along to correct me.. ) I would see if the crew were ok & contact the hire company and/or the rescue services. I have gone to the aid of private boats & jetski.
Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 23/02/2012 14:46 by Pas Vite / T 15.
That is correct and has also something to do with experience and insurance reasons etc.
I can only talk for Waveline: we certainly appreciate any help from private boaters that we get in the event of a mishap and we also helped and will help out private boaters in need. Towing a boat off is a different story and should only be done in coordination with the owner of the boat. It is simple to make a grounding worse by doing something wrong...

I have been a long time follower of this forum & registered only recently & I have been following with interest recent goings on. I don't personally know anybody who posts on here apart from a one time meeting with a couple of lads while I was viewing a boat. Therefore I consider myself to be objective & neutral & hope not to offend anyone.
I started reading this thread at post one as one does & thought it was a perfectly legitimate post, succinct, inoffensive & to the point. If one has any more interest one can click on the link to learn more.
Next we have post number two, this post to me seems to typify what seems to be wrong with this forum but I am open to correction on this if there is more to this than I am aware of. I don't know either of the two posters or if they are known to each other but the second post seems to me as a neutral observer to give the impression is that it is a "have a go" post? There first post in no way deliberately omitted the ICG or voluntary units it was simply about the RNLI, how one could take offence from it is puzzling. My impression is that poster number two has some sort of an axe to grind which does nothing to enhance the forum.
There are a raft full of issues in the great RNLI debate and their role on the inland waterways. Suffice to say and I speak for my own hire company only, I would have grave reservations to overcome before permitting the RNLI getting involved in a grounding incident involving any of my craft. I would have major concerns for the safety of RNLI members who are neither trained, equipped or experienced in this role. The risks to their wellbeing is simply too great.
I might not be entirely correct, but my understanding from past grounding incidents on Lough Derg is that the RNLI focus on rescue of crews from grounded vessels rather than recovery of vessels. In cases of severe groundings the hire operators or their agents recovered vessels subsequent to crew rescue by RNLI or CG. In only minor groundings (ie soft mud, vessels lightly aground without hull or stern gear damage) have rescue services pulled vessels clear, but only after detailed inspection of the vessel, hull and gear, and again once floated off. They have trained and retrain for this kind of incident and far worse at specialised facilities in Poole and Cork.

Getting sent to bed now with no dinner for being bolddidnt think we were doing anything wrong but reading the e-mails here it seems my good deed could have had serious consequences.Still thats what this site is fo--- educating the stupid-ignorant(unaware)-unwary-novice boaters of the dangers out there.Mick
Umm. Well, I did stick my head above the parapet :-)) I see what people mean when they dare not post on this forum for fear of getting shot down - but I'm too thick skinned for that, so there!
Lads - I only asked the question Are ye trying to tell me that because it's not Govt. funded, it doesn't cost anything? The lifeboat, its equipment, fuel, depreciation, maintenance, flotation suits, gloves, boots, helmets for crew, all cost a small fortune. I know, because the RNLI, whom I support in every way, including financially, send me the details about 4 times a year. Equipment needs to be replaced at least annually. Doesn't matter a jot where the money comes from, we are all paying in the end. Even the volunteers' time is a huge investment.
I have no problem at all with the above, for the same reasons that you all outlined. There is no nobler cause than saving lives. O F - thankyou, answered my question. I was not aware of any incident where lives were saved. That's good enough for me. If lives were saved by the RNLI that wouldn't have by Killaloe CG, that's justification enough for their presence on L.Derg. If the same applies to L.Ree, the case is settled. We should also be looking at Corrib and the Erne. It's all about investing in resources where they are most needed.
Being prone to pottering around Derg in the winter, when it seems nobody else is, it does seem strange to be listening to the CG and RNLI broadcasting to an apparently invisable audience. But hey, I might be the one needing their attention next week, so I hope they're not reading this!!
I agree that the RNLI are a valuable resource and do a terrific job in usually foul weather, putting themselves second and the victim first.
What I can't stand is the spin when the claim is twisted from 905 people rescued to 905 lives saved. I don't know if this happens between their Press Release and the editor of whichever media it will appear in or if it's a kind of 'understood' twist which is put on it.
Thats not by any means a snipe at RNLI or any other rescue organisation; although it might be a snipe at the media!

Faring much better than her co-host Tina Fey, the actress wore an electric-blue Stella McCartney custom gown.
As many of you point out Stella McCartney can be hit and miss on the red carpet, this is a near hit.
The style is simple and elegant, the colour electric, but I'm not sure I will remember this look by the end of the week.

Striped, hybrid striped bass both make good eatin'
Several of the lakes in our state of Texas have been introduced to both striped and hybrid striped bass. These fish do grow to large sizes and offer some really good action for anglers. Lake Livingston and Toledo Bend are great places for taking both species. Sam Rayburn has some hybrids remaining, but none have been introduced since a malfunction at the hatchery. Hybrids are not usually able to reproduce and are available through put-and-take efforts. According to Ronald G. Habron of Southern Region Aquaculture Center, striper can actually spawn.
One of the things that anglers must learn is to identify each of these species, since their appearance is very similar. A hybrids is very similar in appearance to a striper to the untrained eye because one of its spawners was a striper and the other a white bass. Although fully striped, a hybrid will have some broken lines. The striped bass will have all of its lines straight. So far, I have not been able to acquire any information about hybrid reproduction in our lakes as of today.
It seems that all of the species of striped freshwater fish travel upstream to spawn. Whenever there are water currents created by the generation of electricity at the dams, the hybrid and stripers move upstream. This is how they spawn. Their eggs must be able to float and drift for several miles in order to hatch. As the water warms, these fish will congregate downstream near the generators to feed upon the baitfish that is also thereabouts. That's especially the case on Lake Livingston and Toledo Bend.
Hybrids tend to travel in schools, but they will also travel around with schools of other fish such as white bass. Both species feed upon small fish, and both of these lakes are loaded with shad. The stripers also feed on small fish until they grow up. Then they prefer larger fish. Larger shad and bluegills will tempt some larger striped bass. All sizes of stripers will also eat crawfish.
Whenever you're going after any of the striped sided fish, think deep water. They will remain in deeper water where there is plenty of oxygen and suitable water temperature. Whenever the baitfish appear, the predators will go after them with vigor That's when it is likely to see some surface activity. The lakes with submerged hills and humps near deeper water are likely to be ideal places to ambush these fish. Locate heavy schools of shad beneath the surface, and the predators will soon be around.
Most anglers prefer to go after these striped fish with artificials. Jigs, trolling lures, slabs, lipless crank baits, spoons, and diving crank baits are popular choices. There seems to be something about the color green that attracts especially the larger stripers. Practically anything that resembles a food fish will work most times. There are times, however, when you can see the big stripers on your depth finder, put a lure in their midst but never get a bite.
Live bait for the striped bass is always a prime choice. I've found that hand-size bluegills are more irresistible than any other live bait that I've used. Small carp and large crawfish are also acceptable when the bream are not available. A good method for using the live bait is much like strolling for crappie. Just drop the bait or even a big feather jig down to where you mark fish and ease around with an electric motor.
Both casting to the schools and trolling where the stripers are feeding will get good results.
The white bass will normally show up feeding on the surface in large schools. Hybrids will be with them at times, as will smaller striped bass. Lake Livingston in our area is a popular white bass and hybrid striped bass fishing lake right now. These fish may cover a couple acres when chasing shad and are visible for a long distance. Seagulls will also show you where the action is. If there is little or no surface activity, then try trolling for them. A diving trolling lure such as a mudbug with the treble hooks removed and a small pet spoon attached is ideal. Use a short 12- to 18-inch leader for the spoon.
Casting Charlie Slabs has long been the favorite white bass and hybrid lure on Lake Livingston
There are other lakes in Texas that are great for going after the striped fish. Lakes Whiney and Texoma and two of the best.
Stripers flesh is much like redfish. Both the hybrids and whites offer a more delicate flesh. As with all fish, be sure to remove any fat or red meat for better flavor.

They were a little short on parent volunteers to help with the kindergarten Valentine's Day party, so the lovely Mrs. McKinley and I volunteered to join the merriment in our grandson Luke's room with the stipulation that I not be asked to help with a craft. I don't do crafts, even at the kindergarten level.
So there I was, assisting at a Cupid Bingo game, helping the young scholars differentiate between the picture of the heart that said "Hug Me" and the picture of the heart that said "I Love You." For youngsters who were, on that day, 99 days into kindergarten, this is no small thing. While this duty had its taxing elements, I did have time along the way to stand back and marvel at this creature that is Kindergarten in 2012.
When I attended kindergarten shortly after the Civil War, it was a joyless undertaking. My teacher, whom we will refer to as Mrs. R, insofar as some of her descendants might want to bring legal action against me, was known to everyone in the school to be the wife of a prison guard.
Some even believed that she and her husband lived inside the prison. Whether that was true or not, I have always associated kindergarten with prison. We sat at tables. The same tables. All year. Woe be unto the child who dared speak or stand up without first raising his or her hand to gain the permission of Mrs. R, which was never given frivolously.
We did not talk to each other. We all did the same thing, at the same time. A recess break was provided in the course of the afternoon during which we lined up at the restrooms and made use of same. If you needed the restroom at some other time, tough luck. Now we learn our letters. Now we learn our numbers. Now we work on our colors. All together. All the time. At our tables.
On her lighthearted days Mrs. R wore a navy colored dress. Most days she wore a black dress. She was incredibly old. By then I had it in my mind that if I were as awful a person as Mrs. R seemed to think I was, one day I would end up in prison and kindergarten would have prepared me for it.
Luke attends a different kind of kindergarten. His teacher, whom we will call Mrs. M, is a cheerful young woman who is perpetually smiling. She bounces from place to place. To the outsider the room seems chaotic. Different children do different things in different places at different times. They move around without even asking permission. They talk to each other. The room is a bright, happy place, filled with fascinating bits of this and that, and Luke loves going there. And what he is learning is far beyond anything we ever learned when I was in kindergarten. This is a new kindergarten world, and I think it is a better world, even though some old-timers might have trouble getting used to it.
While it wasn't as penal seeming as kindergarten was, the church I was ordained into was just as big on good order. Points were given for conformity to expectations, for doing things the same way everybody else did them. The denomination published a confirmation curriculum, and that was what we used. Period. End of debate. We all did. New hymnal comes out and you can choose between Setting One and Setting Two, but you will use one or the other. (OK, there were a few daring crackpots who went for Setting Three, but not many.)
What fun it is to work with interns and supervisors in church settings that are more like Mrs. M's classroom than they are like Mrs. R's! I count myself lucky to have the opportunity to see up close the great things that are happening in the church of today, a church that appreciates and rewards creativity and imagination, that lives with variety, that laughs and loves and sings and celebrates and organizes and demonstrates. In comparison to the church I was ordained into, today's church is chaos. Marvelous chaos.
Anyway, it is fun to see what you're up to these days, and to celebrate your chaos, just as I celebrate the creative and educational kindergarten chaos of Mrs. M's room! If they are looking for volunteers in the future, Papa Steve would be happy to come back, as long as it doesn't involve a craft.

Dozens of living cats were found in a Pennsylvania home and dozens more were found dead in a freezer.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has seized more than 20 live cats from a Lehigh Valley home and taken 25 dead cats from a freezer.
SPCA spokeswoman Wendy Marano says the owner surrendered the animals, which will receive veterinary care. The (Easton) Express-Times reports officials say about 50 to 60 cats remain at the home in Bethlehem, Pa.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Marano says the woman signed over the pets saying she couldn't afford to take care of all the cats, which were seized Thursday. Efforts by the newspaper to contact the home's owner weren't immediately successful.
"The situation can be characterized as a hoarding situation," Marano told the paper.
Marano says the home on the 1500 block of Easton Avenue was unsanitary for the animals and that two of the cats had to have surgery. The cats taken will be put up for adoption once they are healthy.

At right, and below, I've linked to a story in Cleveland.com about Nawal Alhawsawi, a Mecca-born Saudi woman who lives with her American husband in Cleveland. She's going for her pilot's license. In this, she's not the first, since Prince Waleed bin Talal has a Saudi woman pilot to help fly his aircraft. But Nawal is doing it on her own, with support of her husband and family. I'm including her story here because, first, she tells the journalist writing the story that she's done a midnight drive back home, which I believe is much more common than generally known outside Saudi Arabia. And second, because the issue of driving is on her mind, which she's not afraid to speak. Here's a quote from the article by Robert L. Smith.
"...Alhawsawi loves her new home but she loves her homeland, too, and she moves between the two worlds like a time traveler, at once tourist and guide -- a modern American Muslim and a daughter of Mecca.
Which is why she says things like, "King Abdullah is a really awesome king. I think it's just a matter of time before women will drive cars, actually."
She drives a 1999 Hyundai around Northeast Ohio. Her goal of flying jetliners will have to wait. A new dream emerged from her work with battered women as a social worker for Cuyahoga County. It's a quest that will again break taboos back home...."
I totally recommend the story, and wish Ms. Alhawsawi all the best in both her worlds.

A new climate change study issued by an Oregon State University professor and others concludes the best way to reduce methane gas emissions is to reduce cattle, sheep and other ruminant herds worldwide.
The conclusion isn't likely to be favored by industry groups, but OSU forestry Professor William Ripple and co-authors said herd reduction should be considered an antidote to climate change along with cutting back on fossil fuel use.
"Because the Earth's climate may be near a tipping point to major climate change, multiple approaches are needed for mitigation," Ripple said in an OSU news release.
The Oregon Cattlemen's Association dismissed the recommendation to reduce herds.
Methane produced from "enteric fermentation" by livestock amounts to only about 2 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, association communications officer Lauren Montgomery said in an email. She said other sources, including wildfires, produce much more.
She said such studies have not taken into account what "substitute" greenhouse gases might be produced if livestock are reduced or even eliminated. The association believes assessments of greenhouse gas impacts should include an accounting of energy used per gas unit produced.
"The idea that a certain percentage of GHG would be eliminated by simply eliminating livestock is unrealistic," Montgomery said.
Carbon dioxide, produced by burning fossil fuels, is the most common greenhouse gas. But scientists say methane, which cattle, sheep and goats produce as part of the digestive process, is particularly adept at trapping heat in the atmosphere.
The research paper, "Ruminants, Climate Change, and Climate Policy," was prepared by Ripple and co-authors in Scotland, Austria, Australia and the United States.
The researchers concluded that greenhouse gas emissions from cattle and sheep are 19 to 48 times higher per pounds of food produced than the gas emitted in the production of plant protein foods such as beans, grains or soy.
The authors said the number of ruminant livestock has increased worldwide by 50 percent in the past 50 years, to about 3.6 billion animals. About 25 percent of the earth's land area is dedicated to grazing, and a third of all arable land is used to grow food for livestock, according to the report. Reducing the number of cattle and sheep on the planet, and thereby reducing methane gas emissions, is a faster way to impact climate change than reducing carbon dioxide alone, the report concluded.

Allen Wirfs-Brock and Chris Wilson: EcmaScript, JavaScript and the Web
ECMAScript is object-based: basic language and host facilities are provided by objects, and an ECMAScript program is a cluster of communicating objects. An ECMAScript object is a collection of properties each with zero or more attributes that determine how each property can be used—for example, when the Writable attribute for a property is set to false, any attempt by executed ECMAScript code to change the value of the property fails. Properties are containers that hold other objects, primitive values, or functions. A primitive value is a member of one of the following built-in types: Undefined, Null, Boolean, Number, and String; an object is a member of the remaining built-in type Object; and a function is a callable object. A function that is associated with an object via a property is a method. - Source = Ecma-262
IE9 beta was recently released and it contains a new JS engine that is concurrent and fast. It also provides support for EcmaScript 5. What is EcmaScript 5? What's up with the naming covention? Isn't it just JavaScript? Wait a minute, there was no EcmaScript 4... What's going here? Well, not to worry. Chris Wilson and Allen Wirfs-Brock should be able to provide insights into the latest version of Java, er, EcmaScript. Allen sat on the governing body and was the chief editor for the official (and orange) specification. Let's just go talk to them. Ready? Tune in.

I know javascript rules, but I just always feel like i'm stitching things together with it.
I think the market has proven that JavaScript is the programming language of choice for client web development...
IE9 and other modern browsers that run close to hardware are essentially very powerful client runtimes (or virtual machines...) for
executing the web.
There is no need for a new language. One of the great things about JavaScript is that it is a very flexible language. You can efficiently and effectively compose programs with it and also use it as a compiler target, effectively making JavaScript both a productive human-compositional language and a flexible "machine language" or IL.
The other thing is that JavaScript will continue to evolve (just like it has with EcmaScript 5). There's plenty of room for growth and this is a very good quality for a widely used programming language to have.
Fail. Requiring Silverlight to view the video? I mean, seriously? Progressive enhancement guys? By all means take silverlight if people have it, but given the near ubiquity of flash in the meantime while we wait for native video support - provide the fallbacks!!!

We do have plans to adopt the HTML5 video tag for Channel 9. Stay tuned.
People move on. Chris spent many years at MS and did great things for the web platform and IE. Of course, we wish him the best of luck in his new job. That said, this news takes nothing away from this interview. It was a great conversation full of very useful and accurate information...
Best of luck, Chris!

We provide several formats for our videos already. You do NOT have to use SL unless you view the video in our player, which is a Silverlight media player...... Note the Download links on the upper right side of the player. Click on the MP4 link or the WMV link.
Great interview. I bet Allen could have talked for several hours. It was a shame Chris didn't get to speak more but still, a great interview.
I must say, however, just listening to Allen's description of EcmaScript 5, it doesn't sound like it has very powerful new features. I remember the impressive EcmaScript 4 language spec/proposal that Waldemar Horwat did for Mozilla; but will have to look at the new specs...
The new browser war is fantastic - this time not about making proprietary extensions but about implementing as much as possible of what is already standard - and even before it's standard (less great but comittees are slow.)
Users and Web programmers rejoice
@exoteric: Allen can talk, as you noticed. I tried my best to just let him go. And... He did! Looking forward to listening to Allen again in the future.Unfortunately, this is Chris' last appearance on C9. Well, unless we add him to a panel or something in the future...
@CreamFilling512: I disagree.
scoping of variables confuses me in javascript. Also locks and threading. No specific question, but I would like to know if ecma script 5 has changes in those areas.
